Everything we'll be using may be found here. Aside from the character sheets, which I should link here as well I suppose. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1icpGHMOxy7k1Vs7tgnrm4-ceYee5_pEVJigsE5yHyos/edit?pli=1)
Rules:
1. Players are playing as humans. Sorry for people who wanted to be Trolls. If nothing else, take a look at the new canon trolls rule.
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.
All the spots are taken, but trolls are being accepted! Players have been given a password, and can recruit one (I'm asking for restraint here) troll each.
Some Rules for trolls:
1. No direct interaction with players. Pester them all you like, but you cannot meet them in person. This one might change at my discretion, on a case to case basis.
2: Keep future stuff extremely vague if you do it at all. Please avoid it if possible.
3. Give the password in a chat to me, or no canonity for you!
4: Troll is not the only available species! You can be human, or robot, squid thing, whatever tickles your fancy- If you were invited by one of the players, that is.

Actually, we could have a maid of time, provided somebody rolls the sylph class and time aspect.
Also, for people who can't get their sheets done today: No worries, we won't start without you. At least, not important, plotty stuff. Basic Character interaction might commence, however.
I would recommend rolling your class and aspect right away though.

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.
Edited them in, but think I missed some modifiers because they're nowhere near as high as Darvi's. :|

Also, a quick reminder: As long as I know what the PDF says your class and title is, you can fiddle with the title however you like.
I think we'll mainly be playing here, on the bay12 forums. I'll put up maps for combat, and people can take turns. If every player involved in the combat can be available at the same time, however, and someone has an alternative, we can use another system that would be faster.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 14, 2011, 07:11:02 pm
Everything Alright?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Your hit points are your mangrit and pulchritude values added, so you're actually 2 points short on paper. Make sure to fix that.
Also, keep in mind you can change the way you wield your bladed-melee kind abstratus (one or two-handed) as a minor action, if you so choose.
Don't forget to specify whether you are rockin' light or heavy armor.
Lastly, if you desire any templates, make sure to look through them.
ALSO. A reminder for everyone, select 1 card to add to the common sylladex. Once we begin, I'll deal them out. Doubles are allowed, but consider that you cannot replace cards once you add them in (which you get to do once per level, if you choose to.) So, even if a smartphone from everyone sounds like a good plan, it'd probably just cause problems later.
FakeEdit: Sorry Johnfalcon, Riccto posted first, so he gets the Knight of Mind.
I know I said you'd have to re-roll your enitre title, but considering you had your sheet all worked out, if you want, you can re-roll your aspect alone, and keep your class. We can double up on class, just not aspects.

I don't think you added your level to your skills. And a 10 value stat doesn't give negative adjustments to associated skills. That said, how is your skaian lore negative 4?

Post by: Bdthemag on September 14, 2011, 07:32:32 pm
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.
Anyways I fixed my profile, now onto the character itself!
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 14, 2011, 07:40:06 pm
You should gain training in two skill total, one from class and one from aspect. So, check that out and adjust your sheet accordingly. Right now, you have three. I don't know why. You'll get 4 points for being trained. You can be double trained in a skill, but I don't think Knight and Mind do this. Not that I'm gonna check.
Next, add your level, straight up, to each of your skills. And defenses.
Next, add stat modifiers to skills, and appropriate defenses. Which, upon closer inspection, also seem off. Stat modifiers thusly.
6 = -2
8 = -1
10 = 0
12 = +1
14 = +2
16 = +3
18 = +4
20 = +5
If you have higher than twenty, or lower than 6, you screwed up somewhere. (or took a template I overlooked, but I don't think common templates would do that, and everyone is to take the human exclusive template)
then there are secondary additions, like traits and templates. The human template adds 1 to one of your skills.
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)

Not exclusive templates, but you can have two of any other.

I love the weapon making rules. Real DnD should have as good ones.
As a guy who plays in a 4th ed group, I agree whole-heartedly.
Edit: Bd, could you choose a card for the sylladex? We have two level one cards not chosen yet (fruit gushers{health restoration} and beagle puss aegis{possible damage reduction}), or any of the cards already selected may be chosen again. Once you do, we can start.
I decided that we have eight cards already, I don't have to exercise GM prerogative to stick in a ninth.

If one of us draws a card, can the others not get it?
That is an excellent question, actually.
The pdf is frustratingly vague on that point, in that it doesn't even come up. Maybe I should shoot the question to the guy spearheading the project. Maybe later.
In any case, the most sensible thing (to me) would be to have each card available to everyone. For now, I will use a d8 to assign numbers to each card, and then roll it whenever someone needs to draw, after having flushed their hand. Even if a card is already in use, it can be drawn. Having extra copies of a card just makes it more likely to draw.

Post by: Johnfalcon99977 on September 16, 2011, 02:41:57 pm
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?
It makes more sense when few of Mikheals secrets get shown. Trust me.
And Insight is skill in discovering about other people. They have been friends for two years. I don't think she could go that amount of time without slipping up at least ONCE.
Edit: As I read the rulebook, I relize Mikheals mindset also fits the Slyph. It still fits the Knight, but it just kinda fits Slyph better. Aw well. No turning back now!

I am thinking CN and KF should be Prospit and PA and SS should be Derse.
Cause Prospit seems like it should be for more whimsical PCs, which seems to fit CN a bit and PA is going for super logic guy. Then you have me and SS and one slot on each planet. And I don't really know personality wise (but I do think I would fit okay on Prospit) but since I am the seer of light and he is the Thief of void it sorta makes sense for me to be prospit and him to be derse.
(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.

You're probably going to have to make a housemap for combatz, though - unless you want the GM to make one for you.

Yes, drawing your character is completely optional. If you want to, there are lots of character templates lying around the interweb that you can copy/paste a character from, if you aren't comfortable drawing. It's what I did. I can't draw in the homestuck style. It ends up looking weird.
If I have time, I'll draw for my own actions though. If I feel inspired.
But yeah, if you want me to do your floorplans, make sure to give me a rough description of your dwelling. Or you will have an even more generic dwelling than AL's.

Bd. You are clear to go ahead and initiate the installation of Sburb. You may also choose to have an encounter with your Guardian (who you should identify, btw), before you install Sburb, before, or not at all. If you have not played 4th edition, I suggest you have a gaurdian encounter BEFORE entering the Medium. Otherwise, your first combat will be a live-fire exercise. This suggestion applies to everyone (except Criptfiend, he already mentioned he plays 4th).
Edit: Your house maps are up, Bd. Sorry they suck, I knocked them out at five in the morning in mspaint. Can't sleep. Blargh. Wasn't sure what to do with DB's room, or the Professor's Room, so they ended up pretty empty. You have a swimming pool though. Also: Do not take the elevator to the basement, I never built it. Also, the elevator probably goes to the roof, but I never built that either. Maybe later. Blargh.

The maps of your house are on the first post, so take them, and use paint to drop yourself in an open space. If you need to move around, make sure you notify us of where you moved to. img.ie is a good site for image hosting, and doesn't require an account.
Your position isn't incredibly important, at least for the moment. But it'd be good to get in the habit.
ALSO: Note that when you have a timer, each round takes six seconds. So, ten rounds to a minute.
For those who don't know, each round you get a Standard, Move, and Minor action. Standard actions can also be converted to move or minor action, but not in reverse. So, if you need to abscond hella quick, you can forgo your standard action to perform a double move. You can not do this over difficult terrain, however, unless you make an athletics check.

I may be mistaken, as it's been awhile since I've played myself. Still, it makes sense. I'm making it a rule if it isn't already, for the Homestuck game, on the basis of John's lad scramble up Rose's shitty stairs in Act 2.

At the Professor's interruption, Brian whirls around and launches a crossbow bolt at the Professor. He doesn't have time for the Professor's philosophical bullshit: He has a game to play!
The Professor, however, was not born yesterday. He blocks the bolt with a book he's carrying, and and flips it open (attack failed).
Brian can scamper about still, take a minor action, or wait for the Professor's inevitable counter-attack.

DB lad rolls back five feet, and lets loose another cross-bow bolt! The Professor calmly snatches it from the air. (attack failed)
The Professor informs Brian that he's going to have to do better than that. He does, however, admit that stepping away before firing was a good tactical decision. (Note: Normally, moving out of combat with an enemy provokes an oppurtunity attack. You moved a single square back, however, so I treated it as a SHIFT. A shift consumes a full move action, only allowing you to move one square. However, shifts do not provoke attacks of opportunity.)
You can take a minor action, or wait.
So, just to double-check... is 2d10 2 rolls of a d10, or 2 times 1 roll of a d10?
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.

Honestly, it is difficult to juggle his duties between you and the University, and he tries to provide for you and make a connection, and he really wishes you would just consider Philosophy over the stupid comedian bullshit you seem so enamored with.

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.

RL: Strife.
After taking a minor knock, you basically flip the fuck out and lash at The Guard with a fucking halberd. I mean, damn. You delivered a solid hit, (13 points worth in fact), surprising him. Apparently, he didn't realize you had progressed to this point.
You can move or take a minor action. What now? Also, to clarify, he is in the square northeast of you.

Instead of moving around to engage you close up, The Guard decides it'd be easier to just use the range capabilities of the halberd to get you from where he's standing. You manage to duck away, so the only thing his attack really endangered was your computer. Watch it! That stuff's expensive!
RL's turn. What do you do?

7+4+8=19. Lovin' that MGT modifier.
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 18, 2011, 10:12:29 pm
You don't take kindly to this careless disregard for your computer! You bring the halberd around in a wide arc and slap the shit out of him with the flat of the blade, yielding a painful sound you'd guess to be valued at about 15 points of damage. Yow.
Huh. That's weird, a pair of hits like that, and you'd be in a lot of trouble. He doesn't look winded...
You can move or perform a minor action, like pester someone. You are outside The Guard's capability to oppurtunity attack, so you don't have to worry about that.

The Guard moves forward and takes another swing at you, maintaining a short distance away. This time, he connects for five points. Training Halberd or not, that'll probably leave a bruise.
RL is up.
Post by: TherosPherae on September 18, 2011, 10:30:50 pm
Dice say 12, so another 20.
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on September 18, 2011, 10:36:44 pm
You sure do. An overhead chop yields another apparent eight points of damage. Not as good as your last two hits, but solid nonetheless.
To your surprise, The Guard lowers his weapon. Seems he's satisfied with your ability with the halberd. Not that you get to stop training. Oh no. You do, in fact, have some way to go. However, you have made quite a bit of progress, and you showed real spine just there. You can take a day off.
Huh. Well, that went pretty well.
Note: DB and RL both had an encounter, so they can choose to flush their hand, and draw again, if they each so choose.

You take a mighty swing at the dummy. It tries to move, but it is not fast enough. You put a nice crack in the facade, dealing, you would estimate, 11 damage.
It leaps away, putting four spaces between you and it, now east (and still north) of you.

Depends on how you choose for it to function.
I think you did light ranged kind? In that case, you can... I dunno, narrate at people. I'm not too concerned about that. If you were flinging spells with it (Which would be odd at this point), it could be light ranged, heavy ranged, or even random-kind.

You chase after and hit the damn dummy, cracking it for a solid thirteen points of hurt. It creates another deep crack, but it jumps away again, and seems mostly unfazed, aside from the visible damage.
It occurs to you that it only attempts to dodge or move if you're actively swinging at it. (Insight check successful!)
(Note: Next time, mention your movement as well. I gave it for free this time, but I don't want to do that much, and somehow screw up your guy's battle plans in the future.)

Even if we weren't in the same Universe, it wouldn't matter. Rose stuck that into a server thang on the furthest ring. It is accessible to any session and their respective parent universes. I think.
Hokay.

RL: Make like Vlad and impale it.

Okay, okay. How about we try to hit the the targets with the axe? That could work. Oh, no, they move so that they keep a constant distance from you. That could make things tricky. You could use your throwing axes, but you misplaced your strife specibus allocated to throwing-kind.
Straight Athletics roll? Straight Athletics Roll.
You throw an axe, putting a hole in your wall. Urgh. This is going to be trickier than you would have hoped. (rolled a fifteen, which doesn't cut the mustard in this instance.)

You give it another whirl, this time striking a target out of the air!
One down, three to go. The clock is still ticking though. You estimate another 12 throws before the clock hits zero. You brave another throw, hoping for further succes- God dammit, you can't keep putting holes in your wall! You only have two axes left!
You throw again, almost clipping one of the three targets. The axe in question is now sticking out of your floor, but at least it didn't punch a hole in your dry-wall.

You throw again, but the shot goes wide. Dammit. You spend the rest of the turn and another complete one gathering up your axes. Eight throws (well, seven, considering if you miss and have to re-collect, you're going to lose time collecting them) before meteoric devastation.
Or your house starts to burn down. One or the other.
Another missed throw. You are starting to freak the hell out. You don't much care to find out what happens to people when they're hit with meteorites. Or meteors. Space-rock.

Nope, you get froggy imps.
And soon on the encounters. Actually, I'd prefer to wait until everyone was in the medium before handing those out, but there ain't much point to that, and even if there was, that's a long wait.
Probably by later tonight.
AL: You can do it!
Two shit throws later and you still have two throws left to make. This doesn't look good.
(Note to self: Lower expected difficulty rating for other players, or give them a wider time window.)
GK: Stop bleeding.
You take a moment to steady yourself and get your second wind, recovering half of your hitpoints.
It doesn't sound like he's coming after you. Which either means you're off the hook for a while, or he's pulling freaky ninja shit again. You really hope it's the former.

First: Bdthemag, I need you to tell me whether or not you dropped GK's gear. I don't think so, because I can't seem to find the relevant pesterlog, and I don't think John can either, seeing as he has not presented it. If you have, just say so, show me where everything was dropped, and GK can move on.
In the future, this is sort of priority information from everyone, as we want to get everyone into the action as soon as possible.
Second: If you die in game, well, there is not much you can do from that point. Unless someone decides to prototype their sprite with your dead body, assuming they could get a hold of it. There are a couple of resurrection methods in the PDF of course, but those take time, especially in this format. So, try not to die, but if you do, just be patient and we will get you back on your feet. Er, sorta.
Third: Giving out experience. 10,000 boondollars gained, for everyone, upon each character's entrance into the Medium. Once all eight players make it, a bonus 15k boondollars. So, that's something to look forward to.
Fourth: Imp strifes, for RL and DB.
RL: Realize that an imp is sneaking up behind you.
This is... Weird. For a half a second, you assumed that a training dummy had someone been moved to your room. But no. It appears to be some sort of creepy little monster wearing a training dummy. Bizarre. It also seems happy to attack you. Hoo boy.

Well, you would, but the darn lid just refuses to budge! You should probably either find something sufficiently impressive to pry it off with, or just hit it real hard.
RL: Drop the hurt.
You gank the little bastard for a solid 8 points. Never sneak up on a young lady with a halberd. It don't end well.
DB: Crossbow bolt. Imp face. Make it happen.
And, of course, neither does sneaking up on a young gentleman wielding a crossbow. 12 points to the froggy suited torso. (Also, how does DB wield crossbows? One or Two handed? I assumed two for damage purposes just there)
Imps: Take them out.
The imps have given up the stealthy approach, and are moving in for the kill. They each advance to melee range, and the imp attacking RL swipes a clawed hand at her, missing, but the imp attacking DB has better luck, leaving a seven point gash on his leg.
FakeEdit: Whoops. Actually, by my math, we'd be getting 1 million boondollars per entrant if I'm looking at the chart right. And that's... wrong. I'm changing it to Boondollars, and the level table is in boondollars already, so... Everything is now balance-y.
The Players can act now.

Yes, but no more rap references. You shift a space backwards and sweep your halberd at the imp, causing a respectable 15 damage. If this imp makes it outta here alive, it is going to be feeling that for a while.
It moves forward, attacking once again. It manages to connect this time, causing you nine damage. It's fiercer than it looks.
AL: Investigate your freshly replaced Surroundings.
Seems sensible. Hey, where's your bro? You haven't seen him all day. You sure hope he wasn't outside. If he was... Well, you're in trouble.
You take a look outside, and are amazed by the bizarre landscape. Everything is so beautiful. Shapes molded from a pearly white substance dot the landscape. Distance is a bit difficult to Judge, but considering how high up you appear to be, you suppose the first step is really to get down.
Then, you are filled with alarm as the ground your home now stands upon shakes, and lava bursts forth from the sides of the pillar.

RL: Continue pummeling the imp. Check both your HP and the Imp's HP.
RL: Check stamina
You have nineteen hitpoints left, and you can always use your second wind to recover health if things get too hot to handle (as they sometimes do), so you don't seem to be in too much mortal peril.
As for the imp, it's difficult to gauge its exact health value, but it is certainly the worse for wear, clearly past its bloodied value.

And rake you do. You gain a hefty 1562 boondollars for slaying the imp, as do your compatriots, even though they didn't help. Still, you get a share of boondollars they rake in as well, so who cares?

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.
Astute observation. In fact, however, the imps from RL's prototyping, in my head at least, are just wearing a lot of padding in the training dummy configuration. They can actually hide (although such a thing would be of dubious usefulness in some places) by tucking their arms in and crouching, and look like a non-living training dummy.
That might be somewhat ineffective if they take several prototypings however, as no one is going to fall for that if the training dummy is on fire.
In other news:
>Mikheal: Make yo Shield shit.
You make the shield. Oh joy, it comes with a cruxite Spartan. And not the one's with the powered armor.

PA swings hard at the ball, and hits! It goes kind of high though, and takes out one of the hallways recessed light fixtures. Oh well. Good thing lightbulbs aren't expensive.
==> AL: Sneak into your brother's room for something worth prototyping.
You aren't certain this is the best thing to do, but you've looked all over the house for something worth prototyping, and found nothing.
You've never been in here before, but you figure that there has to be something. Throwing a toaster in would be stupid.
...
This is nuts. Your brother has managed to accumulate shelves upon shelves of dvds. And it all looks like cartoons. Kind of weird cartoons, with lots of well endowed girls, but cartoons none the less.
But you think you've found what you want. Your bro has several posters of the same guy on his walls. He looks like a total badass, and has a look about him that sort of asks Just who (http://img.ie/5b6c8.png) the hell (http://img.ie/ab7a2.jpg) do you think I am? (http://img.ie/a58b6.jpg)

Sounds good. The lush rolling fields that surround your home, however, are separated from you by a waist high fence around your home. Normally, this would be no problem at all, but, somehow, despite your best efforts, you cannot get over it. It would appear that some magical force has rendered it insurmountable. Weird.
Two ponies notice you, however, and trot up to you. The orange one addresses you, while her deep blue companion remains silent.
"Hey there! My name is Twinkle Star! And this is my friend, Midnight Stroll! It's nice to meet you. Would you like to be friends?"
Oh, and here comes your philosopher sprite. It seems he wants a word.

Gutsy. Your father nods grimly, and throws the ball, sending it hurtling past you.
Or so he would have thought. Your bat connects, knocking the outer covering of the ball off, leaving the innards of the ball to smash through the designated window.
Dammit. You really should stop breaking things. Your dad wanders off to get the phone. Luckily, the place you buy your windows from is on speed-dial.
GK: Inspect the deadly warrior.
Okay. It's lacking somewhat in details, but its shape and equipment definitely lead you to believe that this is a Spartan. Made of that weird-ass stuff from the cruxtruder. It doesn't have any obvious joints, so maybe it can move without needing them? Or the top layer is flexible? Something, anyway.
It has a helmet, breastplate, sword, spear, and shield all actually separate from the 'body', being held (or worn) items.
Hang on a second. The shield has only one, wide strap. Traditionally, the spartan shield has two- One narrow, and one wide, so the whole forearm could be used. You wonder if-
This line of thought is cut short as the spartan swings his shield at your face. Luckily, you manage to dodge on instinct.

Okay, DM note here. Whenever a Sprite is present for a battle, players can make suggestions for what it does. Suggestions should be along the lines of 'Move three squares North and aggrieve Ogre' rather than 'Leave a surprise for your player in his/her bed'.
Just so we're clear. The idea here is to keep things moving quickly, so if no one directs the sprite, I will. Also, this would be a good way for some of the players who haven't gotten to do much yet a chance to... do stuff.

You make a strike at the exposed strap on the crux-spartan's shield, snapping it. The shield falls to the ground with a thump, and falls with the inside of the shield now facing up.

You shift a space northwest, now flanking the Imp with Kamina-Sprite's help. You strike, this time with Wweakening Broadside, slaying the imp. A minor explosion of grist accompanies its demise. The attack also reaches the other imp, and you manage a brutal affront, causing a startling 17 damage, and weakening the imp to your attacks for a turn.
Kamina-Sprite swings a ridiculously long sword at the imp, using the Sprite Strike Basic attack, but the imp leaps out of the way of the strike.
The imp now decides to shift twice, using its minor action to do so, and lash out at Alexander. It connects, causing another six damage.
The battlefield now looks thusly.

Edit: Well, I'm getting tired of waiting for John to roll a Skaian Lore check, so I rolled it for him. He got 11, which gives him a hint.
The Spartan protected the shield when it was facing concave, but didn't fear attacking it when it was convex...

Danielle ruins the imp's day as it has never been ruined before. Or, at rate, causes 11 damage.
PA: Go wreck some Imps!
You decide your time would be best spent destroying some imps. Considering the friggin' things are all over your house, it's pretty much the only way you'll be using it for a while.
The imp spots you, and rolls a 12 for initiative.
AL: Roll in the boondollars!
You acquire 3,104 boondollars from your successful strife with the imps. Truly, you are rotating about in currency.
Your CERAMIC PORKHOLLOW swells, filled with to 46,208 boondollars. Fantastic!

The imp you're fighting doesn't really seem to have a handle on the idea of hitting you. Guess that makes your job easier. You really get a solid hit this time, hitting it for 16 damage and slaying it, collecting a small pile of grist.

RL
Nearest Imp
AL's Cursor
The other imp's don't seem to be paying you much attention as of right now. Good thing too, or you walloping one of their buddies right upside the head might have been a little disquieting. You ring his bell for 14 damage.
The imp retaliates with a swipe at your knees, but, possibly because of the birds currently circling his head, he misses completely.
AL's cursor swoops around behind the imp, and gives the imp a vicious drubbing with part of a deceased training dummy. It takes nine points of damage, and the distraction could allow RL to shift twice as a free action.
RL and the cursor's current positioning means that they are flanking the imp, and get combat advantage against it, affording them a plus two to attack rolls, and the possibility of myriad other effects.
GK: Smash the Shield!
You do that. You drop the shield onto the ground, landing it face down, and raise your sword. Before the Spartan has time to act against you, you shatter the shield, releasing a bright light.
By the time you can see again, The Spartan and any remnants of the shield are gone.

11+3 =14 for initiative, 15+8=23 for attack.
From this point forward, we will assume you gather any grist-based loot without being told.
Al's cursor has top initiative.
Imp 1 goes second.
Imp 2 goes third.
RL has bottom initiative.
Al's cursor swoops in the back, and attacks imp number two. Unfortunately, he keeps bouncing off of things in the confined space, and doesn't actually manage to hit.
Imp 1 swings at you the moment you step through the door to start combat. It claws you for eight damage.
Imp 2 attacks AL's cursor, shaking it, but not managing to force a disconnect.
RL attacks the imp for an equal eight damage. Serves the stupid thing right for sucker-smacking you.

Line Drive! [7,4]+7=18
You connect, causing eight points of damage. A strange feeling passes over you, as if everyone and their grandma is doing eight damage right now.

RL: Hit the Imp Some More.
3+8=11. SO CLOSE TO SNAKE EYES.
AL's cursor lashes out once more, this time lifting one of the cabinets in the storage room and dropping it right on the imp. It causes eight damage, and knocks the imp back two spaces. Now unimpeded by the imp, the cursor swoops over to flank the imp RL is facing.
Imp 1 attacks RL for seven damage, not caring about the cursor right behind it.
Imp 2 follows the cursor and moves up behind it, now flanking the cursor with the other imp! Luckily for AL, the imp still can't hit for beans.
RL, despite combat advantage, doesn't manage to strike the imp.

Flanking will, in most cases, grant combat advantage. Combat advantage always grants plus two to attack rolls.
AL's cursor attempts to draw the imps attacks away from RL, but he doesn't manage to land a hit.
Imp 1 attacks RL, hitting for eight damage. You now have five hit points remaining. You can regain half of your full hit point value by using your second wind, which is a standard action, so don't forget.
Imp 2 attacks AL's cursor. The strike causes interference with AL's connection, causing it to disconnect. Well, there goes your flanking.
Good thing you didn't need it. Imp 1 takes another eight damage, but remains standing.

Well, the inside of your house is the same. That's not what you're interested in though, of course. You gaze out a window, and find your house atop a mountain, the cold winds blowing around you.

You summon up a burst of will, and leap away from the battle, dodging the attempts of Imp 1 to hit you on your way out. Nice Abscond!

You move so that you are 2 spaces away from Imp two, and strike the imp for 11 damage.
Imp 1 moves into the space southwest of you, and attacks, hitting you for 8 damage.
Imp 3 moves one space southeast, and is now in the square directly northwest of you, and attacks. It hits, dealing you 5 damage.
Imp 2 moves one space forward, now directly west of you, and attacks also. It also hits, also dealing 5 damage.
Snake Sprite flys into the space south of you, now in combat with imps 1 and 2. Snakesprite uses the power 'spriteblast', allowing it to create a close blast attack, allowing it to damage all three imps. It manages to hit all three imps, each receiving 8 damage, and will suffer a minus 1 penalty to all attacks on their next turn.
New battlefield status:
(http://img.ie/28269.png)
Note: Wow, rough first round. I don't think it would be a bad idea to use your second wind for the encounter. If not, I suggest using your Strong Stomp power, as it can hit all three of the imps, and attacks their fortitude, which is a pretty weak defense for an imp.
AL: Fight!
Alex moves a space to the right. As he is not leaving an imps threatened range, he is not subject to an opportunity attack. He unloads his most powerful attack, Dodge thiis! in the first turn, hitting hard for 26 damage, and weakening the imp, as well as knocking it backwards a space.
Imp 4 takes a step southwest, now in melee range with AL. It attacks, but misses.
Imp 1 doesn't need to move to attack, and lashes out at AL, but misses him by centimeters.
Imp 3 steps back forward, and attacks AL, unhappy at nearly being killed in a single move. It also misses.
Imp 5 decides to attack Kaminasprite, since he's right there and all. Kaminasprite is struck for an audacious 9 damage. Not that he gives a rats ass.
Imp 2 moves forward, now flanking AL with Imp 3 (!!!), and attacks, hitting for five damage.
Kaminasprite gets in gear, and moves one step to the right, now flanking Imp 3 with AL.
X2 FLANKING COMBO!
Kaminasprite attacks the unlucky imp for six damage, finishing off the creature, and leaving a small pile of grist where it once stood. AL is no longer flanked. Unfortunately, this high profile entrance has grabbed the attention of another imp. For simplicity's sake, Imp 6 will take the initiative of the late Imp 3.

Imp one decides to instead turn it's attention on snakesprite rather than pursue you. It misses terribly.
Imp 3 moves into the space you were in, and attacks you. It beats your AC, then beats you, for 6 damage.
Imp 2 stays where it is and attacks snakesprite, and also misses.
Snakesprite throws another spriteblast, attacking imps 2 and 3, but missing 2. Imp 3 takes 3 damage, and suffers an attack penalty next turn.
Note: I am beginning to believe my dice do not like Danielle...
AL: Fight on!
Alex attacks imps 1 and 2 with a Wweakening Broadside, hitting both for 8 damage, and making them more vulnerable to future attacks.
Imp 4 attacks AL, hitting for 5 damage.
Imp 1 also successfully hits AL, causing 4 damage.
Imp 6 moves into the space north of Imp 4, and attacks Kaminasprite, doing 8 damage.
Imp 5 attacks Kaminasprite, causing 7 damage.
Imp 2 attacks ALex, and hits, causing 5 damage.
Kaminasprite attacks with Spriteblast, and thanks to his positioning, can hit Imps 1, 2, 4, and 6. Only 2 is able to evade the attack, and Kaminasprite scores a brutal affont on 6, who takes 14 damage in full, and also grants combat advantage to AL next turn. Imps 1 and 4 take a still respectable 9 damage.

Imp 2 attacks Alex once more, hitting dead on, dealing another 6 damage. Well, he's still better off than he was last turn.
Kamina-sprite uses another Spriteblast, hitting each of the imps but Imp 5 for 6 damage, and killing off Imp 2.

Charge the Nearest Imp!
Even with a charge, you wouldn't be able to reach him in one turn. Also, need init.
RL: Lucky Strike on Imp 3!
17+8=25.
RL deals 13 damage to Imp 3.
Imp 1 attacks snakesprite, dealing 4 damage.
Imp 3 continues to attack RL, dealing nothing because it missed.
Imp 2 attacks snakesprite, hitting for nine damage. Yeouch.
snakesprite keeps up his assault on 2 and 3, hitting both for 3 points., and penalizing their attacks next round.
>Mikheal: Keep fucking Imp's shit up.
15 + 2 = 17
You wreck the imp's shit again, dealing 10 points of pain.
The imp attempts to fight back, but is still a cruddy fighter, despite the knight's armor it wears.
AL: Rawr.
These pre-strife suggestions are getting decidely off topic.
AL switches targets to 4 and 6, since they present the greatest number of targets. He uses Wweakening Broadside again, hitting both for 5 damage, and making them more susceptible to his attacks next turn.
Imp 4 attacks Alex, hitting him to the tune of 4 points of damage, which is a lousy tune.
Imp 1 just realized he was flanking Alex with Imp 6, and acts accordingly, striking AL for 10 damage! He's in trouble.
Imp 6 attacks Kamina-sprite, hitting for 6 points, and managing to banish Kamina-sprite for the remainder of the encounter!
Imp 5 moves two spaces down, and attacks AL. Luckily for him, he misses.
AL: Second Wind, then abscond!
As you predicted, things have gotten too hot to handle, and you are outta here! Each of the imps gets to try their hand at an oppurrtunity attack, but only number 1 connects, dealing another 11 damage as you abscond right the fuck up the stairs.

Well played. Imp 1 has a higher init, (that's the northern one), as does 2 (the eastern).
However, your crazy-person charge nets you a surprise action, because I said so.
You get one free turn before the imps start fighting back. Also, Babe-sprite will have bottom initiative. Which is a weird pattern.

11+6=17
17+6=23
11+6=17
You strike the three imps for 6 points apiece again, slowing the group as a whole, and dispatching Imp 3.
Imp 1 attacks Snake-sprite, hitting and dealing 5 damage.
Imp 2 also decides to leave its focus on Snake-sprite, hitting it for nine damage, and banishing the sprite for the remainder of the encounter.
But you can take these two chumps. Probably.
So I'm only in range with one at the moment right? IMP 1 right? If so.

You charge in like a crazy person, and clobber the offending imp right upside the head with your bat, dealing 18 points from before the word 'go'.
The imp does not take to this treatment well, and strike back at you, hitting you for 8 damage.
Imp 2 decides to take a run up at Babe-sprite.
It's now actually your turn, so you wallop the imp again, because that is how you roll. You cause another painful 9 damage.
Babe-sprite has no problem with the imp attacking him, as its been some time since he's knocked one out of the park. He meets the imp as it approaches, and smacks it for seven damage.

Your meteor slams into Losaj. Good trick, mostly those head for Skaia.
>BT: Miraculously Survive.
I figured that was implied, but okay.
RL: Don't Stop the Stomp
16+6=22 for Imp 1.
12+6=18 for Imp 2.
You stomp again, and Imp 2 goes down. Imp 1 takes another 6 points, and is still standing.
Or rather, it is moving across the pne space distance, and failing in its attempt to murder you.

You smack the twerp for another ten points of damage. It doesn't kill it, but it comes close.

Imp 2 attacks Babe-sprite, causing 8 damage.
Babesprite retaliates, using Strike the Weakness, and causing a fair 10 points of damage, and lowering the imps defenses.
PA can still use his move action from this turn, as he had not done so.

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 also could use a bit of a summary on sylladexes (sylladice?) and alchemy.
*cracks knuckles* Infodump?
Infodump.
A brief summary on the In-Game properties of Sylladexi and Alchemy
By Blade Master Model 42
Managing your sylladex in the Homestuck RPG, in stark contrast to the sylladexi of the canon Homestuck of MSPaintAdventures, is quite simple.
Based on your level, you have a limited number of cards within your hand, that you may deploy whenever you like. You draw your cards from both your Personal Sylladex, as well as the Common Sylladex, which both gain cards in different ways. Also, Alchemization is also a simple process, and easily explained. Inventory management has never been easier!
The sylladex is a simple system to use. At the end of an encounter, or when you gain a level and increase your hand size, and have performed Alchemy and added to the Common Sylladex, you can gain sylladex cards for your hand. The number of cards you get is related to the levels you have. When you have gained all of the levels, you may have a total of 5 cards at once, allowing you to turn even the most unbalanced of tables. Once you use a card in an encounter, you must flush the card back into the deck at the end of an encounter. You may choose to retain or flush unused cards, except for Rare cards, but that is for another discussion. After you have flushed your hand, you may draw up to your hand size once more.
On the subject of drawing, you draw from both the Common Sylladex, and, starting at level 2, the Personal Sylladex. The Common Sylladex gains cards whenever a player gains a level, when Players can add 1 card to the deck if they choose to do so. These cards can vary from providing timely assistance to a player in Strife, or unlocking rare Alchemization options. The Personal Sylladex gains cards through Alchemy when a Player gains a level. Unlike the Common Sylladex, the Personal Sylladex is only accessible to the player it belongs to, and players cannot swap cards from it under normal circumstances. Further, players must make a successful dice roll to draw from the Personal Sylladex, though the roll becomes easier as a player gains levels.
To build the Personal Sylladex, players must take advantage of a process known as Alchemy. This is done whenever a player gains a level, and when they do so, the player is given a finite amount of points to spend. Players pick and choose modifiers from the Alchemy section of the Rulebook, and can spend up to the number of points they have for Alchemization. They may even choose to reserve points, in order to build more cards. However, it should be noted that with a limited hand size, quantity may not be the most useful quality! Additionally, players may sometimes use special Sylladex cards to unlock modifiers for their gear that would otherwise be unavailable.
A five card limit, however, does not mean players can't jam their in-game sylladex with all sorts of things, in limitless quantities! In fact, a good GM will encourage his or her players to interact with their environments with their sylladex as a method to advance and create the story.
I have no idea why I wanted to write that up in Essay format. Weird. Plus, my closing paragraph is shitty. Oh well.

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.

Maybe you should try messing with your Alchemizer for now.

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.

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.

Yeah, I got that, but it seems a little strange to me. Shouldn't they have access to that from the moment you enter the medium? Oh well.

Are you sure you don't want to wait until additional sylladex cards are dealt? It's your choice, but I would recommend waiting.
Speaking of waiting, has anyone seen Cript anyplace?
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.
Last time I checked it'd been two weeks or something. I shot him a pm. If he doesn't respond soon, I'm going to have to consider booting him, considering that everyone else seems to get on once in three days, at the least often.

That doesn't mean he'll come back here though. He might have forgotten. Maybe if we say his name 13 times and play an ominous tribal-sounding drum beat, he'll come back.

Realized I need descriptions of the rest of the pcs, except for cript's character (who I am not prioritizing for obvious reasons). Will also need to do more of the imps, but I'll have to do it later.

Also, I think Ghost imp is hella creepy. Much more so than the rest. That's expected, I guess, it is a tier two prototyping.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on October 31, 2011, 12:13:16 am
We need to decide what to do about the cript situation. He hasn't come in for about two months or so I think. So, effectively, he is no longer a part of the game, it would seem.
Options include:
Keep waiting.
Recruit a new player from the general public.
Recruit a new player only on the recommendation of one of the players already here.
Have one player run a second character (not too enthusiastic about this one, so unless you all have ONE person in mind, and they want to, forget it)
Continue on as if cript got meteor'd.
Post by: SirAaronIII on October 31, 2011, 12:16:52 am
Or we could just recruit a new player from the general public, too. That's fine, but only if the above fails
I don't think we should treat him as meteor'd. Then we'll have 7 and that's not a pretty number like 8. Ha, ha, 7, did I hurt your feelings? That's right. Suck it up, 7.

Time to start reading.If you haven't read through some certain parts of the thread, then I think we should retcon that last conversation, since it basically implies that you're one of the 'trolls' that the GM has set up.

Also on god tier colors, they depend on aspect, so time would be red (see Aradia and Dave) while mind would be a teal kind of thing (there's a shirt/hoodie, it's sorta teal). We don't know blood yet, though, but let's just guess it's red.

But I can draw. And I love Homestuck to death. I am willing to read through all 50-something pages of this if you accept me. And all my other forums games things are sort of slowed down.
Wouldn't mind being Space aspect. What else would I need to do?
Oh yeah, also I've only played D&D a few times, I'm not super familiar with the rules. oh god oh god
Well damn that was quick.
Hate double posting but hey also being a content intensive game I'm sure that happens alot. Is it better to edit the last post or go ahead and double post? I won't do it again if the former.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And I got a few questions about my position but I would prefer blademaster answers them when he gets back.
How far am I into the game?
Do I pretend to know these douchebags already, or am I mysterious?
Am I retconned into Cript's position?
How much fanart CAN YOU TAKE?
EDIT:Don't forget to do an intro, freeformschooler, so we know what kind of personality your character has.
Sorry I am telling to do so many things now, but I think I am a bit too sugar rushed from the candy that wasn't taken by treat-or-treaters. My house didn't get too many vistors, so I had a LOT of left over candy.
Hey don't worry I am hyped up on candy too. I don't trick or treat but my grandma and parents got me some. I'll do the intro!

It sounds easy to kill but Blade will probably make some stuff up and make it more difficult. But anyway who needs sprites that can talk? I'll do that after entering, and if I had done it before, let's just say BULLET HELL IMPS. Not fun.
But anyway, cruxtruder's open, GK has (presumably) dropped the entry item card, I made it, we're good to stab.
Also, FFS, are you posting the memolog, is Blade, or am I? I think it'd be better if either I or Blade did because we kept talking after you left, and there were some entertaining quotes in there.

Everyone else got those high skills because each skill takes a bonus from one of the four basic stats. And you also add your level to that. So you'd end up with +6 to everything related to IMG, not including other bonuses. There's a lsit in the PDF somewhere.
And this runs as play-by-post - you post, then when the GM decides to do stuff, he takes all the posts since the last action and uses them. If you're gone for a day or so, you don't get killed or anything, although we may kick you out if you're gone for like a month. And it's not an RTD, since it uses 2d10 instead of a d6.

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.

In regards to the sprite, I don't have any ideas that would be any good as a sprite, that would also be easy to kill ad an underling. All my ideas would end up leaving the imps either with awesome powers or just be really really weird. You're right about the personality thing, though. I really didn't thinkthis through very well.
The god tier art isn't what I had I'm mind but nonetheless it's a great piece of MSPA style spriting, although some people's hoods are a bit large. Also I feel special for growing wings.
And yes, epic team pose art? That would be so sweet, although I'd prefer that you use my original sprite rather than Johnfalcon's. No offense, it's just not what I had in mind as the original idea thing.
Post by: Johnfalcon99977 on November 01, 2011, 05:54:21 pm
You don't need to proto-type something that will make the Imps weaker. Besides, anything you proto-type will bite you in the ass anyway.
You also grew wings because you a Thief. The Thief class God Tier has wings, as Vriska has shown us.

Maybe we should all rewrite our Character Intro's, and put them in the OP. Mostly because I feel a lot of characters could use fleshing out for more personality.
I'm not going to go ahead and make this mandatory, but this seems like a good idea.
Of course, if people don't want to re-write them, but still want them in the op, I can just hunt them down.
I have to get off for an hour, but at least all the battle map sprites are done.

You used to live way out in A FOREST in the middle of nowhere, and despite the fact that they can obviously afford a HUGE HOUSE, your parents don't get you much in the way of electric media, aside from a barely there internet connection. You have a fairly short list of enthusiastic INTERESTS, including FANTASY NOVELS, of which you have amassed a hallways worth of bookshelves for, AXE THROWING, despite the fact you misplaced your throwing axekind strife specibus, and a fairly recent interest in PIZZA, which you believe might be ambrosia.

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.

Your sis has 14 initiative. Roll yours.
To summarize what you can do on your turn, I will explain what each type of action you have does.
You have a standard action, a move action, and a minor action.
A standard action covers hitting, performing certain feats, and can also be substituted for any other action, should you wish to perform multiple move or minor actions.
A move action covers movement, as well as the activation of some powers, and can be substituted for minor actions.
A minor action covers small actions, including swapping weapons, cramming gushers, and other assorted minor powers. Minor actions are only ever worth minor actions, and cannot substitute for others.
Any of you writers that don't suck at it have any tips for character intros? As I said before I am pretty much bad writing incarnate. Flat and boring characters with no development, and boring settings and stuff.
I fancy myself something of a writer. Give me a list of her interests, I'll come up with something kinda decent.

If Blade turns out to not be on for a while I will skip this, no big deal, I've seen the others players do it and after reading the rules I think I have a firm grasp.
EDIT: Wait I forgot my roll. I rolled a 3 so that is... 13 right? I think so.

Story time!
Okay, so I'm in my room, and we had a pair of guests for the night, in addition to all the people already in the room. Both of which were Homestuck cosplayers! So, Friday, I'm trying to force my body to wake up after three hours of sleep. I had the floor, so I had brought a sleeping bag. Didn't know whether or not I should roll it up. So I decided to ask the other people in the room.
What I tried to say: "Should I roll up my sleeping bag, or is it cool if I leave it wear it is?"
What I actually said: "Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh"
In an effort to attempt to get my mouth to work, I lightly slapped myself upon the face.
I am now known to a small circle of Homestucks as 'The Shoosh-Pap guy"
In a semi-related turn of events, I will be cosplaying Equius next year.
I'm going to get through those memo-logs now. I'm currently debating a Youmacon Homestucks image dump in the Homestuck thread over in general discussion.

>LoSaJ: Stop being on fire.
Wet as anything jungle or not, it's going to take a little while for this thing to burn itself out. Shouldn't be much more dangerous now though.
>Mimi: Move towards your sister and attack!
You take a step forward, and jab at your sister with your rapier. She's faster though, and steps out of the way of the attack.
(you didn't tell me what weapon Mimi's sister uses, so I will assume rapier also)
Your sister draws her own weapon, and lashes out at you, though you manage to parry.
Your move.

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? And would anyone be interested in that?
Well, we are in the act of replacing a character just this moment, actually. Sorry, you missed the boat. But please, feel free to run your own Homestuck game. I'm a little busy with this one though. Good luck with yours, I hope you find reliable players.

All the spots are taken, but trolls are being accepted! Players have been given a password, and can recruit one (I'm asking for restraint here) troll each.When did this happen? Or did I miss that?
Some Rules:
1. No direct interaction with players. Pester them all you like, but you cannot meet them in person. This one might change at my discretion, on a case to case basis.
2: Keep future stuff extremely vague if you do it at all. Please avoid it if possible.
3. Give the password in a chat to me, or no canonity for you!

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.
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.

Sounds alright. I mean who cares anyway it's just a game. If necessary I can play a dumb 1-dimensional troll or we can make the session 7 players. And there doesn't have to be the same amount of them I guess.
Fniff's cynical explanation hurts though :C even though he's pretty right except for the fine about everything that's happening part.

Well, you are second level, and you are using precision melee kind. So.
Anyway, you strike, jabbing your sister in the shoulder for 9 points. First blood is yours.
However, she retaliates in kind, stabbing you in your own shoulder, causing 11 points of damage. Nuts.

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.
Guardian battles are another issue entirely.
W refers to damage from your weapon. You roll to attack, I roll for damage. With that roll, you have an attack of 20, and deal 10 damage, and immobilize your sister.
She hops up and down on one foot, graciously forgetting to attack you because getting stabbed in the foot stings!
Not reposting the map.
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.
You can carry as much garbage around as you want. Your fetch modus is not important, but can be an interesting characterization point. Important items will be found in your Sylladex hand, and so long as you have the action to use it, you can, no further shenanigans.

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.
Preedit: those darn ninja GMs, how do they work.

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.

Kamina sprite flies over the counters and attacks the ogre with Strike the Weakness, hitting for 10 damage and lowering the Ogre's defenses.
Alex charges around the counter, and moves to the Ogre's side, now flanking with both Troy's cursor, and Kamina-sprite. He attacks with his best ability, Dodge thiis! He connects, causing 21 damage and weakening the Ogre.
The Ogre unleashes a mighty roar, and the flames surrounding it leap up, burning everyone in their midst. Troy's cursor is unaffected, but Kaminasprite and Alex both take 1 damage apiece. It follows up with a stomp, shaking the floor. Alex, and Troy's cursor are both knocked off balance, and though Troy's cursor does not disconnect, Alex is knocked prone.

Guns are meant to be used from far away, so I'll assume you meant stay where you are and shoot the imp a space away from you.
You blast it, causing 13 damage. Nice.
At least, you think so. Imp1 does not agree and gets up into your business. With a big heavy mace. What a tool. He clobbers you, dealing 12 damage. The hit has enough force behind it to knock you back a space. Looks like the imps have gotten a hang of that prototyping.
Imp 2 follows up for Imp 1, attacking you in a similar fashion. It connects, dealing another 9 damage, and moving you again.
Imp 3 does some monkey see, monkey do, but at least this one can't seem to aim that heavy hammer. You dodge, thank goodness.
Imp 4 seems more interested in tearing up your library than anything, and 5 and 6 might be shell-shocked from your dad's shenanigans.

You do realize that attack left me with only 7 HP right?
Unless you want me to fudge the rules, that sort of thing is probably going to happen to you and everyone else who goes up against a medieval prototyped enemy. It gains an additional d8 to any basic attack and a 1 square push, at the expense of a single point of accuracy.
Seems like a bit of a balance issue to me. I don't think the enemies lose enough speed or defensive capabilities to justify an attack boost that massive.

But you do realize its also effected by almost every other prototyping, right? Meaning that the fire Prototype takes away that HARD.
Haha, NO. The only enemies that will be affected by more than one prototyping at a time are the Kings and Queens.
Oh, and about a third of all enemies affected by Mimi's prototyping, since she did a double prototyping.
It's a damn good thing you aren't fighting ghost-flaming-frog-knight-dummy imps, because trust me, they get a lot more than they lose on ALL prototypings. You would be wasted by one.
>Motion for Troy and Kamina to move as I DROP THE LOAD GAPER
You don't need Alex or Kaminasprite to move to pull this off. You are just that amazing. You revise the kitchen to place a hole in the middle of the ceiling, and drop a damn bookcase on this bastard. It takes 12 damage. Normally, it'd be pushed two spaces away, but Alex is in the way, so he stays put.
Kaminasprite attacks with a Sprite Strike, scoring a brutal affront, dealing another 13 damage.
Alex stands up, and performs a basic aggrievement, scoring another thirteen damage.
The heat from the Ogre's Aura forces another hit point loss of 1 point from Alex and Kamina Sprite. It attempts to crush Kamina-sprite with Smashingkind, but does not connect.
RL:....Yeeeah, this is boring. Let's go kick some ass.
That's the spirit. It'll have to wait though, I have to get off for an hour soon.

I'd say tactical withdrawal, then see if you can get a surprise action with stealth. Draw one away from the others, perhaps, though that is tough to do in this system.
I'm seriously considering nerfing these guys, they gained way too much power in comparison to the elemental prototyping Alex's imps got. Anyone have any objections to that?

Did the rule book say something in the GM section about not letting Imps gang on up on the player?
It mentions that it isn't necessarily in their behavior, or even really likely, to perform coordinated swarm attacks against the players, yes. Considering three of them are just goofing off instead of attacking you? Yeah...
In any case, I am serious about that nerf. These guys are much too op. I think instead of having it add a d8 to a basic attack, it'll increase the die size by two steps. So, imps will be hitting for 1d10+3 and a push with a -1 accuracy penalty, rather than 1d8+1d6+3 and a push with a -1 accuracy penalty.
Unless anyone has an objection to make about that?

(http://img.ie/9072b.png)
You successfully perform a distracting poke, which does no damage, and slows the Ogre. Not that that makes a ton of difference, as it hasn't moved much. Then again, you were already flanking the thing, so getting combat advantage would have been even more pointless.
Kaminasprite performs a sprite-strike again, hitting for 12 damage.
Alex performs a basic aggrievement, hitting for 15 damage.
The Ogre is looking pretty bad now, but it isn't ready to give up. Kamina and Alex take another point of damage each from the aura, and the Ogre uses a special ability: Elite Action. It recharge's its stomp ability, unleashing it, and only managing to hit Kamina-sprite with it. Kamina sprite is hit for 11 damage and knocked prone.
It then rounds on Alex, attacking with smashingkind, and missing terribly. That was close!

It seems that apart from Drop The Load Gaper, you can not directly deal damage as the server player unless you trick the ogre into moving without shifting. Bummer. You just poke him again, for all the good it does.
Kaminasprite deals another 12 damage, and the Ogre explodes, showering Alex in grist.

10 for bonuses for that particular attack. Which is a little insane. Also, with the position you indicated, Sinister Irony can hit both of them. I rolled for you, and, you hit both, dealing 13 damage to the both of them, as well as immobilizing the pair of them.

Do I have to roll for readied actions, or not? I forget.
Okay, well, the imp is already all up in your grill, so here are your options realistically.
1. Move and take the opportunity attack, back into the kitchen, and ready an attack action so that when the imp follows you, it gets a face full of halberd.
2. Shift, then convert your standard action to a move action to move away from the imp without provoking an opportunity attack. However, you cannot ready an attack this way.
3. Just beat the tar out of this bastard right here. His friends might care, they might not, you can handle these douchebags anyhow.
>Mimi: Stab that meteor.
9 on initiative, 13 on attack roll. So... 13+10=23? Wow.
I assume 9 is what you rolled, not your total.
Mimi 15
Meteor Imp 20
Werewolf imp 17
So, battle order is Meteor Imp, Werewolf Imp, then Mimi.
Alrighty.
Meteor Imp swings at you, but misses due to your super-human reflexes. Werewolf? He's over there, not doing anything because he hasn't any ranged powers, and you immobilized him last turn.
You perform the most vicious of gankings. You cause 7 damage to the meteor imp.

Not incredibly critical. Need to ask really quick, did you apply your human skill bonus? You get to add 1 to one skill. Plus, we need house maps. Use a larger grid, so I can place good-size, recognizable markers.

>You there. Girl. Get away from those imps.
>RL: Run into the kitchen to take on the imps single-file.
The three imps roll 20, 15, and 10 respectively. Snakesprite gets 25.
So, order is Snakesprite, Imp 2, Danielle, Imp 3, Imp 4.
Snakesprite takes note of the fact that one of the imps will act before you, and heads in to take on the imps. It gets into position, then uses sprite blast as a close range blast, attacking imps 2 and 3. Both imps are hit by the attack, receiving 9 damage apiece, and taking penalties to their attack rolls.
Imp 2 attacks Snakesprite, and hits, dealing 6 damage.
As your battle plan was sort of foiled, you can reconsider your action.

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.
Do something sweet.

Hopy shit, attack of the quote pyramid.
Anyway. Brian busts out his slickest dance moves, and just when the imps drop their guard to watch the show?
POW. Imp 2 takes nine points of damage straight to the FACE.
Imp 1, shocked and horrified by this display of aggression, rakes your face with his claws. Well, actually, he doesn't. And he would have done it whether you busted out that display of aggression or not.
Imp 2 does manage to hit you though, dealing 4 damage. Healing yourself might be in order.

14+7=21.
You are actually able to hit Imp 3 and 4 with that attack.
So you totally do.You stomp hard enough to make all sorts of miscellaneous paraphernalia fall on both of those imps. They both take 7 damage and are slowed.
Imp 3 doesn't move an inch and attacks you, dealing 8 damage.
Imp 4 moves a square up, and attacks as well, scratching you for 6 damage.
Snakesprite attacks Imps 2 and 3 with sprite blast, hitting both for 7 damage, and impairing their ability to attack.
Imp 2 continues to focus on Snakesprite, but misses with its attack.
(http://img.ie/0c25c.png)

Troy: 21
Imp 1: 15

Imp3 has turn priority, but it appears that it is preoccupied. Whatever.
You resist the strange urge to shout WAAAAAAAAGH! as you charge the closest Imp. You do however, give it a vicious- Oh, nope, it seems to have gone insubstantial. What a waste.
It hisses at you as only a ghost can, and hits you with its slimy ghost claws for 7 damage WHILE IT IS STILL INSUBSTANTIAL. That's a neat trick if you've ever seen one.
Imp 2 decides you are worth its undead time, and comes over to visit. And by visit, I mean wreck your face. 9 points of stinging pain.

WAIT NO, DO THAT. BUT ALSO CALL FOR PHILOSOPHER SPRITE.
Thought so.
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.
(http://img.ie/76913.png)
So have I healed since I beat up Imp 2, or does this all count as 1 encounter?
Also, it'd be nice to know what value you have for my HP right now so I can be sure I didn't fail the math or something.
I figured you'd take a minute to catch your breath before harassing the remaining imps. So, yes, you had your hp restored. Need to get off in a minute, so not counting it up right now. You're not even close to bloodied though, I don't think.
>YOU YER DOUBLE KRUMP ON!(Double Attack)
[6,8]+8=22
[9,6]+8=23
You decide smacking both of these douchebags at the same time would be awesome, but Imp 2 goes all not-there when you swing at it. Oh well, it seems they can only do that so often, at least.
Imp 1, however, suffers the full brunt of your FURY. Which goes to the tune of 5 damage, at the moment. Nuts.
Imp 1 repays you, dealing 8 damage. Yowza.
Imp 2 deals another 5. Geez. These things are nasty.
Nobody moved though.

Imp 4 moves into the space you were just occupying, attacks, hitting you for 7 damage.
Snakesprite attacks with Spriteblast, missing Imp 2, but hitting Imp 4 for 6 points of damage.

Depends. You'd have to flush your whole hand to get it, plus 1 other card. Do you want to do that?
RL: Do the healing thing.
You regain 17 hit points.
Imp 4 attacks you, but misses.
Snakesprite attacks Imps 2 and 4 with Spriteblast, hits 2, but makes a grave blunder against imp 4! Imp 2 takes 3 damage, but Imp 4 is completely unharmed, and Snakesprite grants combat advantage until its next turn.
Imp 2 takes advantage of this, and attacks, dealing 11 damage.
You're up.
Consider what second wind is, Yes. I use second wind.
You will regain 17 hit points on your turn.

Since you entered the battle in media res, your initiative is dependent on Troy's, so you can't really do that. I will place you on the map however, so you can do something next turn.

He gets a whalloping for his trouble. Nice. You deal 14 damage. He's looking more than a little the worse for wear.
Snakesprite fires off another sprite blast, dealing 5 damage to both, and killing imp 4.
Imp number 2 has decided that things have gotten too hot to handle, as they often do, and makes a break for it.
Snakesprite takes the oppurtunity attack, dealing seven damage.
Take the attack of oppurtunity?

>Knightsprite: Wreck these bastards' collective shit.
Gladly. You shift a space to the left, and unleash a sprite blast. You deal 7 damage to Imps 1 and 3.
Mikhael takes the opportunity to catch his breath, recovering 17 hit points.
Imp 3 decides that Mikhael is a sweeter target than his sprite, moves south a space, and completely blows his attack against Mikhael. Shit.
Imp 2 stays where he is and just swings at Knightsprite, dealing 5 damage.
Imp 4 is still goofing off in the distance.
Imp 1 also stays in its position to attack knightsprite, and deals 11 damage.
You're up.

Imp 1 attacks Troy, but misses.

They won't do that unless you swing at them and would otherwise connect. Also, they can only do that once per encounter. So, Imp 1 won't do it again, unless you wander off for about five minutes. In game time.

You grab a nearby end table and drop it straight on the imp. 4 damage results from the incident.
The imp turns around and swipes at the cursor, and while it hits, it doesn't manage to force a disconnect.
Wow, sucky damage rolls that round.

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.

Yes, I am just itching for something to do in between roleplaying. It would be funny if grist was real in game mechanics.
I guess we are like 2/3 of the way to level 3 after the current battles?

Shouldn't the Imp be thrown back 2 spaces and provoke an attack from Troy?
Forced moves do not provoke opportunity attacks. I don't force the move unless the person playing requests it for some reason. If anyone has a problem with this, I can start doing the forced moves every time there is not an obstacle.
NOTE: Using a forced move to knock someone/something off an edge requires the target to fail an additional saving throw. Just fyi.

You get the imps attention, then have your cursor derp out. While the imp is busy looking stupid, Troy clobbers it. 11 points of death. Grist scatters about the room.

Probably, considering we've collectively wasted around ten imps, plus an ogre. Not to mention the 'Mimi entered the medium' bonus.
Once we get everyone else in, we get an additional bonus on top of that.

It occurs to you that you could, theoretically, use some of your at-will-powers, possibly to greater effect, or even switch to your hand-cannon thing if you'd stayed at long-range.
Just smashing is pretty effective though, you guess.
Knightsprite hits Imp 2 again, dealing 11 damage.
You smash Imp 4 considering there is nothing better to do. You deal 16 points of damage.
Imp 2 attacks Knightsprite, but misses.
Imp 4 attacks Mikhael, but also misses.

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.
Anyway, I have all the basic Sprites for everyone, but this was going to happen after the Homestuck RPGs finished (Or died. Which ever happened first.). We don't need to worry about it for quite a while.

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.

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?
Also, we're not sure if we hit lv 3 yet. Blade has to do teh maths.

Maybe I'll celebrate by drawing LoIAF. Though I still think FFS should have gotten frogs because Kanaya got frogs and she was Space, possibly meaning the Space player always gets the Frogs deal. But then there's the question of what happens if there is no Space player (like Act 6 might not have).

Okay, unless I'm off, I think we had these fights.
GK: 4 Imps
AL: 1 ogre
DB: 2 imps
RL: 4 imps
KM: 2 imps
PA: 3 imps
Obviously, Mikhael doesn't get boondollars for the two that absconded.
Also, Claire and Mimi entered the Medium, so 20,000 free boondollars all around.
That comes out to... 123,167 boondollars, unless I am very much mistaken. Sadly, this is not sufficient for advancement to level 3.
Of course, when CR enters the medium, that's 10k, plus another 15k for getting everyone in, plus an imp strifw which will put you over the top, so.

I think your gear was already dropped, so yeah, you can make your level 2 alchemy stuff. You get one alchemy point from which to distribute bonuses from for your first item. Or items, if you think you want to clog up your personal sylladex with garbage.
The rules for alchemy are around the 50 page mark in the main pdf, I think.
Also, importantly, do you already have an entry item in mind?

Init: 11+4=15
Attack: 12+9-1=20
Snakesprite gets the highest initiative and flies into combat, throwing off a sprite blast. The two imps in range manage to dodge the attack.
Imp 3 moves forward to engage snakesprite, and hits it for 4 damage.
Imp 2 also moves to engage snakesprite, and misses completely.
The closest imp to you is Imp 3, so you move down and smack him upside the head with your halberd, dealing 14 points of damage.
Imp 1 just tries to attack snakesprite, and misses also.

There are exactly 4 minutes and 13 seconds.
12.
11...
[4, 5 + 5] = 14
Both imps move before you, and attack accordingly.
Imp 2 steps south and tries a complicated card trick. It fumbles the deck however, and the cards sort of go everywhere. You aren't entirely sure what he meant to accomplish.
Imp 1 comes north to attack you, but can't hit your armor class, and you dodge out of the way. Your move.
(http://img.ie/99b35.png)
RL: Hit Imp 3.
17+9-1=25.
Snakesprite moves first, launching a sprite blast and scoring a BRUTAL AFFRONT against imp 1, and also Imp 3! What are the odds on that one? It also hit Imp 2, so a hugely lucky attack all around. Imps 1 and 3 take 9 damage, and 2 takes 5.
Imp 3 attacks Danielle, hitting her for 5 hit points.
Imp 2 attacks Snake sprite, and misses.
Danielle kills Imp 3. Nice work!
Imp 1 attacks snake sprite, but does not hit.

RL: Hit Imp 2.
10+9-1=18.
Snakesprite attacks both remaining imps with a spriteblast, scoring a brutal affront on Imp 2. Dice are hot tonight, I guess.
Imp 1 takes 7 damage, Imp 2 takes 15.
Imp 2 attacks snakesprite, dealing 8 damage.
Danielle attacks Imp 2, and it activates its 'Take the Hit' power, taking no damage as a result.
Imp 1 attacks snakesprite, hitting for another 8 damage.
No one changed battle positions.
SS: Go north 2 steps, then attack Imp 2. Then Scorpion's Strike as a minor action, ending the turn.

You hope this is gonna work. Otherwise you are going to have a very strange inscription on your headstone.

You try not to think about that possibility as the meteor comes closer and closer to earth.
Time seems to slow down as the meteor gets closer and closer. Displaced air buffets you as you wait for the rock to complete its descent.

You have yet to see any of these fabled imps. You dash over to your alchemy equipment and get ready to make some sweet gear. In fact, you prepare to make a LOT of sweet gear, as you feel like you may have passed a milestone marked by an arbitrary amount of boondollars.

Well... anyone who hasn't alchemized anything yet should have three points TOTAL since 1+2=three. And every alchemized itemsrequires you to spend a minimum of one point. So it's your call, but it's entirely likely you won't roll all three the first time.

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.

Also, if someone does NOT want to to draw from their personal sylladex, let me know, you can draw straight from the common sylladex no roll necessary.

You reach the top floor and step out, only to be greeted by a few imps and an ogre. Guess it's time to get down to business.

>Steve: Reach the summit.
You make it to the top of your house where your gate resides. Nothing left to do but go through, you guess?
Several sword brandishing imps show up out of nowhere just as you approach it, and they now block your path back. Well, at least the way forward is cl-

>Use Sinister Irony on nearest imp, then move 2 spaces right and 4 spaces down.

Yes. Only thief classes have a move of 7, and wearing heavy armor reduces it to 5. For the most part, that's it for speed modifiers for players.
Also, your weapon is ranged-kind, so you need to perform that manner of attack. Based on that, you can hit two of them, but it provokes an oppurtunity attack. Which misses. Your AC is ridiculous.
You fire at both imps in front of you, snarking about how bad they are at being big bad wolves. Ouch, their feelings! Both of them take 14 damage.
You scoot away, which doesn't provoke a second oppurtunity attack. Most enemies can only make one per enemy per turn.
Both Meteor Wolf Imps are immobilized until their next turn.
The Wolf imp attacks you, but can't hurt you either.
(http://img.ie/9c1a3.png)
RL: Taunt the fire ogre.
13+6(trolling, I presume)=19.
Alex moves up and does some fiddling with his cursor, and roughs up the floor by one of the Ogres.
You hassle the fire Ogre. Whatever you did, it's pissed, and it looks like it'll be coming for you.
Snakesprite attacks it, throwing a ranged sprite blast, and dealing 7 damage.
Both Ogres advance...

Note: I realized I originally used red for the pillars instead of black, implying they were difficult terrain instead of impassable. Whoops!

You move down the hill and towards the village. It's not an organized place, and there are no walls, so you can basically stroll right in.

Let's not forget initiative.
Order is as follows:
Imp 1
Steve
Imp 3
Imp 2
Ogre
Anyhow, Imp 1 moves to the right and attacks you, hitting you for 5 damage.
You counter with your Whirling Tonfa, hitting three times for over 40 damage, and slaying it in a moment.
Imp 3 moves closer and attacks, dealing 7 damage.
Imp 2 also advances, but misses with his attack.
The Ogre moves at you from behind, now flanking you with Imp 2. He uses the power 'Divine Masterstroke', dealing 9 damage, and marking you. If you attack any target besides the ogre, it gets a free oppurtunity attack.
You took a lot of damage that round, and have only 11 hitpoints remaining.

That is an excellent question freeform.
Fool, you do realize the weapon power you got from the tonfa is an encounter power, right? You can only throw that once per battle, unless you got an item that recharges encounter powers, and I don't think anyone has those.
I'd suggest using your second wind rather than attack this round, but its entirely possible you'd be hit for all those hitpoints you'd just regained.
>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 :)
Your attack at close range prompts an oppurtunity attack from the wolf imp, who finally manages to hit you, dealing 8 points of damage.
Nevertheless, you attack him, confirming a brutal affront, causing 13 points of damage, and forcing it to grant combat advantage to you. You then move away from the imp.
Wolf imp comes after you, and attacks again, but misses as before. Also, it fails to make the saving throw necessary to stop granting combat advantage to you.
Meteor Wolf Imp 1 comes running, free to move again after last turn, and attacks, but also misses.
The meteor imp follows the others, but at a more leisurely pace.
Meteor Wolf Imp 2 joins its lupine brethren, and attacks as well, but you dodge out of the way.

You ready yourself to attack the Ogre when he gets to you.
Snakesprite moves to engage the dummy ogre, and throws a sprite blast, but misses both enemies.
The Dummy Ogre slaps snakesprite into the floor, causing 14 damage.
The Fire Ogre advances on you, and you strike it for 15 damage. It roars and smashes you into the wall, dealing only 6 damage, luckily enough.

You can swap back to your unmodified rapier at any time with a minor action. Or, you know, shift away from the enemies and then shoot them. Either way.
Also, unless CR had a smart phone before (I'm not certain he did or did not, anyone remember?), you can't communicate with him, and can't give that bonus. And if he did, it would provoke three oppurtunity attacks. So.
Anyway, the fighting.
You get ready to shoot at one of the imps when all three of them attack you at once. Only one attack gets through, but it is still 8 points of damage you didn't want to take. That stings!
You fire, dealing 15 damage and reducing the attack rolls of all three imps that attacked you for one turn.
The Wolf imp attacks you again, but misses you.
Meteor Wolf Imp 1 attacks you, and misses by a hair.
The Meteor imp just sort of hangs back, since it can tell it can't get close enough to attack you.
Meteor Wolf Imp 2 also misses.
Suddenly, your sprite comes bursting down through the roof, and fires a sprite blast, hitting all three imps attacking you and performing a brutal affront against MW Imp 1. Meteor Wolf Imp 2 is wiped out, the Wolf Imp takes 7 damage, and Meteor Wolf Imp 1 takes 12 damage as well as granting combat advantage to you.
Just so you know, you have 10 hit points right now. Your sky high armor class guarantees that only extremely high rolls will hit you, but a pair of lucky shots could kill you.

You catch your breath and move away from both of the wolf imps, dodging their attacks as you do so.
The Wolf imp attacks meteorsprite, dealing 4 damage.
The meteor imp moves and attack meteorsprite, dealing another 4 damage.
Meteor Wolf Imp 1 follows you, and attacks, hitting you for 6 damage.

>CR: Use Sinister Irony and hope that it kills something.
Rolls on enemies going clockwise:

A few things to note, since there seem to be a few misunderstandings, and I don't want you killing yourself on accident. Everyone else should pay close attention to this as well.
Burst and Blast attacks are not the same thing, especially at close range. With melee, Sinister Irony is a blast 3, meaning you have a 3x3 block on side of your character. Anything within that block is hit. As that stands, that hits 2 enemies where you are. In normal circumstances, I'd tell you to shift and then use it, to hit all three, but the prototyping they're all effected by would allow them opportunity attacks anyway.
Close Bursts are centered on the user, hitting things around them. Except for attacks with large AoEs, ranged blasts and bursts function about the same, except where they are placed determines where a Blast moves out from, and a Burst hits everything around the target square (including it, generally)
Also, a second wind restores half your total hitpoints, so it would be 16 restored, not 6. Not that it isn't entirely possible that you'd be hit for more than that in the coming round, especially without killing one.
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.
If it's not dead by then, at least I can kite it around the room. 4+6(roll)+5+2+3=20.Rolls on enemies going clockwise:

[4,5+9]=18
[3,3+9]=15 (I really need some luck)
I also didn't realize we made separate rolls for each creature Sinister Irony was used on or I would have been doing that :c
On the subject of communication: You are all on different planets, so you need some way of communicating with each other. That means something like a phone or a instant messenger program, which means a smartphone or a hands free computing device in battle, since a laptop or a drawing tablet computer would be too bulky for combat.
Of course, once we start adventuring together, we can just shout at each other.
Also, it is multiple attack rolls for group attacks, and one damage roll for the entire group, brutal affronts notwithstanding. Sorry if I was not clear on this earlier.
You attack the imp with your crossbow, prompting another opportunity attack from the imp, but it misses so everything is fine.
You blow the imp apart with your attack, which is pretty impressive since your weapon is basically a sophisticated dart thrower.
The Wolf imp continues to attack meteorsprite, but makes no headway. The meteor imp has better luck, hitting for 9 points of damage.
Meteor sprite retaliates with a sprite blast, dealing 8 damage to both imps and slaying the wolf imp.

>DB: Taunt your enemies with a few insults!

(http://img.ie/86a73.png)
RL: Slide one space south and keep hitting him!
6+10-1=15.
Al tries to use pester cursor against the Ogre, but misses, dealing no damage.
You take 1 damage from the Fire Aura of the Ogre, and scoot back a space. You swing at the ferocious monster, but have no success in hurting it.
Snakesprite attacks the Dummy ogre again, and finally scores a hit. The Ogre expends its take the hit ability, however, reducing the damage it takes to 5.
The dummy ogre attacks Snakesprite again, hitting for 11 damage.
The Fire Ogre steps forward and swings a huge fist at you, dealing 14 damage. You have 21 hit points remaining, half of what you started with.
(http://img.ie/54360.png)
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.
Except for the minor problem that it was not the card you drew from the deck. You got your tonfa and also a pogo ride.
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.

Okay, I do believe I made mention earlier that shifting away from imps with this particular prototyping does you NO GOOD, as they will still get an attack.
That said, perhaps a different plan would work better?
Also, as for your sprite, it will intervene in the coming round, but it won't have an archetype yet, seeing as how you've only prototyped it with a sword so far.
One more thing. What version of D&D are you used to? This is based off 4th Edition, and to me, it's pretty similar to it.
RL: Scoot southwest a few spaces and heal.
AL attacks the Ogre again, finally doing some damage! Nine points worth to be precise.
You scoot well away from the Ogre and take a moment to steady yourself for the rest of the battle, restoring your health to full.
Snakesprite attacks the dummy Ogre again, dealing 6 more points of damage.
The Dummy Ogre roars and tries to swat snakesprite away, but misses.
The Flame Ogre rounds on Alex's cursor, and swings at it, but Alex narrowly steers it out of the way.

>Move six spaces down, and shout to Meteorwolfimp to come to me. It probably doesn't recognize my words though.

Remember that you can attack and use second wind at the same time! I LOVE minor actions.
I keep forgetting that. I'm used to them being a standard action.
I think I will take my 5 ft. step. In D&D a 5ft. step never provokes attacks.
Yes, normally that is the case. However, the weapon master prototyping grants all underlings the ability Harsh Tutelage, which adds 1 to their attack modifier for a basic attack and also allows it to be used as an immediate interrupt when an enemy shifts out of a space adjacent to them.
It is a powerful prototyping.
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.
11(roll)+10=21.
The imp has higher initiative than the sprite. Otherwise, that probably would have worked.
You round the corner and fire at the last imp, pegging him for 14 points.
He steps forward to attack you in turn, but can't hit your AC.
Meteorwolfsprite swoops in and bites the imp, but only grazes it, dealing a minor 4 points of damage.

You swing your tonfa in a whirlwind attack, hitting each of your foes, dealing 11 damage to both of the imps, and 8 to the Ogre, and knocking them all away from you. You take a moment to catch your breath, bringing your hit points up to 27, then take off away from your foes.
A flying sword nearly takes your head off as you reach the edge of the floor. It sort of hovers in front of you for a moment, then fires a frickin' laser beam at the ogre, hitting it for 5 damage. Is this thing your sprite?
The monsters regroup and move towards you again, but only Imp 2 gets close enough to attack. Fortunately, he misses.

Rather than simply jump back a space first, you brave the oppurtunity attack and prepare to shoot where you stand. The imp hits you, surprisingly enough, dealing 7 points of damage, leaving only 10 points between you and the grim spectre.
But who gives a shit about that? You shoot the imp in the face, leaving him stone dead. Hells yeah!

You use your power of Irony to make all of the enemies feel bad about themselves. Seriously man, cold. 11 points of damage for Imp 3 and the ogre, and 13 to Imp 2.
Swordsprite moves a space up and right, and throws another sprite blast, hitting all three enemies for 9 damage, and killing Imp 2.
Imp 3 moves forward, undaunted by its poor condition, and attacks you, missing by centimeters.
The ogre, on the other hand, puts his attention on swordsprite, and performs a powerful sword technique against it. Unfortunately, it performs it very badly, and the strike is easily parried.

>Mikheal: Inquire more info from the old Blue bird.
The old bird confesses he doesn't know terribly much about the state of things. They aren't exactly a border town, and, as such, they don't see much of the Red Menace. In fact, the bird hasn't seen one single member of the other nation since he was barely hatched.
He suggests that, perhaps, you might be able to learn more if you traveled to the Capitol. They'd have more to tell you.
He squints at you for a moment, then asks you where you're from. You don't look like a Prospitian. And from what he's been told, you don't look much like a Dersite neither. Just who are you?
RL: Enter.
You step through your Gate, and the landscape around you is replaced by a thick jungle. You are in the middle of the wilderness, all alone. Huge snakes, long as buses and thick around as car tires hang from trees.
A quick inspection of the area reveals a tiny, narrow animal path leading off to the west.
>Descend from the temple and head south.
You begin your trudge through the snowy path. About 15 minutes in, you see a small village in the distance.
Boy, and do you mean it when you say small. The shacks barely come up to your neck. There are about 6 of the shacks standing, but several more that look like they've been abandoned for some time. There don't seem to be any lights...

You follow the trail (or rather, what there is of it), for a good ten minutes before you hear some rustling in the trees. You stop for a moment, listening, and dodge out of the way as a Frog prototyped imp leaps down from the trees. It's a good thing he wasn't sneaky enough to catch you off guard! Then a couple more drop down too, and you don't feel quite so lucky. Oh well. At least they aren't Ogres.

> SS' cursor: Appear 1 space up from the frog imp, then suddenly have a Distracting Server Crash.
Only now am I realizing how crappy the Bumbling server style is. Man what was I even thinking? Guess it's too late now though.
Your cursor appears just north of the Imp, and it turns to swat you away just as you disappear. Meteorwolfsprite takes the opportunity to attack it while it's back is turned, but the imp is squirrely, and dodges out of the way.
freeform, your movement isn't really valid now. I'll let you keep the roll, but you'll need to move someplace else, because as is, you' need to run straight through that imp.
Since SS had a server crash, there are no position changes to report, so no map post.
>Approach the shacks. When you are close sneak up to a house and look in.
You make your way up to one of the shacks and peek inside. It's pretty small, and there doesn't seem to be much inside aside from a bed and a table with a candle. It's hard to be certain, but the bed looks occupied...
You suppose you could go in for a closer look. You are a ninja, after all. On the other hand, you aren't sure how you feel about breaking and entering.
>DB: Switch to your RAPIER, and stab the shit out of IMP NUMBER 1.
You retrieve Proudhon's Rapier Wit from your Strife Specibus, and attempt to shish-kabob one of the Imps. It dodges out of the way, unfortunately for you. Seems you'll need a bit of practice with this thing.
Imps 1 and 2, however, have an instinct for their respective weapons. Both of them claw you, dealing 11 damage total.
The rest of the enemies seem to be content to watch the two Imps fight you.
You hear a 'ding', and hear the unmistakable croak of Froglosophersprite. Sounds like backup.

Right-o.
You circle around the Frog Imp, and get ready to shoot at him, narrowly dodging as it extends its tongue at you. That is DISGUSTING. You are so shaken by that nasty tongue that you completely flip out, and accidentally shoot yourself in the foot (Grave Blunder!). You take 4 damage.
Meteorwolfsprite attacks the frog imp, biting its face off. That's pretty gross too. Oh well, at least its gone now. It then moves to the right to keep those Wolf imps from coming after you.
The purely Wolf imp moves and attacks meteorwolfsprite, hitting for 5 damage.
The ghosty Ogre moves down and also attacks Meteorwolfsprite, hitting him for 14 damage.
Card Imp 1 hasn't seen you yet, and Meteorwolf is now blocked by his compatriots, so neither moves. Neither do card Imp 2 or Fire Imp.

You start stabbing wildly, dealing 15 damage to Imp 1.
Apparently, froglosiphersprite joining the battle has prompted the Ogre and the other two imps into action. Oh well. The Ogre can't get close enough to hit you because of the imps, but Imp 3 runs in at your right side and attacks, missing completely.
Imp 2 attacks again, but you dodge away from the claw swipe.
Imp 4 moves in to attack, boxing you in with Imp 3. It scores a hit, dealing 9 damage.
Froglosiphersprite steps up behind you and tells you to duck. You quickly comply as he lets a sprite blast loose, hitting all of the enemies except for Imp 4 for 5 damage. In addition, all of the imps except Imp 4 take a penalty to their attack next turn.
You have 16 hit points remaining, and can restore 18 with a second wind minor action.

No worries. You pop up next to the Ogre, grab a section of wall, and slam it into its head. It takes 10 damage, but it can't be pushed because of the location it is in.
WAIT NO, I change my action. A -5 on the previous roll would be a miss. Instead head up five spaces and left one space. That'll keep me in a good position to surprise the card imps.
Okay, I'll let you do it this time, but I think in the future, if you choose to make your own rolls, you need to stick with the action you chose. This goes for everyone.
You move to your desired location. On your next turn, if you desire, you can make a stealth check to get combat advantage for one round.
Meteorwolfsprite throws a sprite blast, but only hits the ogre, dealing 6 damage, and reducing its ability to attack.
The Wolf imp attacks meteorwolfsprite, hitting it for 5 damage.
The Ogre attacks SS's cursor, hitting it for 14 damage and forcing a disconnect.
Neither card imps are aware of your presence. Yet.
Meteorwolf Imp take the opportunity to move toward meteorwolfsprite and attack, hitting it for 5 damage.
The remaining imps aren't aware of nearby foes, and do nothing.

They each approach and attack in turn. Imp 2 hits you, scratching you for 6 damage. Imp 1 misses, but Imp 3 also connects, dealing 7 damage.
You retaliate, hitting Imp 3 for 11 damage.

I have no idea what to do for a new outfit for Alex. I have all the fashion sense of your average Troll. I do have an accessory in mind, but it'll have to wait a little bit for plot reasons. As for the levels, I'm willing to bet that with all the stuff revealed at Cascade and after, the level cap might be climbing...
Anyway, where are you going to explore? Are you going to head out on the roads, or just go cross-country and hope you run into something interesting?
RL: Tactical retreat to the southeast.
This is what happens when I forget to roll init ffff-
Well, I did roll it, I didn't just say 'you didn't roll, you get bottom initiative'. I just rolled very badly.
Also, could you be a bit more specific? Do you want to just double move southeast, or attack and then run?
Sorry.
>Drop the Load Gaper on the nearest IMP Cluster
Don't worry about it. I actually completely forgot right up until after I made the last post.
Initiative values for this fight.
meteorwolf imp 23
Alex 22
meteor Imp 21
ghost imp 2 20
knight imp 20
card imp 20
swordmaster imp 19
Fire Imp 18
dummy imp 18
frog imp 2 16
PA 16
ghost imp 1 15
kaminasprite 12
frog imp 1 11
Don't worry folks, Alex has a plan. Sort of.
The meteorwolf imp runs up and bites at Alex, but the plucky boy dodges out of the way.
Alex makes a break for the gate, ignoring the meteorwolf's attempt to claw him as he dashes toward the glowing spirograph in the sky. The dummy smack him in the leg, dealing 5 damage, but he keep going, and launches himself into the gate.
SWEET ABSCOND BRO!
Anyway, feel free to not bother with the fight, since Alex just absconded like a boss. In case you want to, here is the map.

>DB: Second Wind then use Jugglers Dance.
>FS: Keep doing that shooty thingy.
You take a second to steady yourself, then bust out some seriously bizznasty dance moves. Imps 1, 3, and 4 suffer 6 points of damage apiece, and grant combat advantage for the remainder of the turn.
The Ogre can't get to you for a proper attack, and tries to trigger a tremor by stomping at you. You don't really think you feel anything.
Imps 3, 2, and 4 all attack you in quick succession, and you only manage to parry Imp 4's strike. You take 12 damage from the assault.
Froglosiphersprite tosses off another sprite blast, hitting the Ogre, Imps 1 and 3, and scoring a brutal affront against imp 2! The Ogre and Imps 1 and 3 take 10 damage, and Imp 2 takes 14. Both Imps 2 and 3 grant combat advantage to you.

Well, there is a lot of country to cross, so you decide to forgo the road, at least for the moment. However, this leaves you with a lot of options. East is the only direction with a road, at the moment, so which way do you want to go?
>Walk deeper into the temple while listening for imps. There has to be more of them.
I'll make perception (+14) checks if I need to. My perception value isn't high enough, I should boost it next time.
Apparently, there do not need to be any imps in here, based on the fact that you don't see or here a single one. As you glance around, you notice pictographs on the wall. Make a Skaian Lore check.

For future reference, combat advantage confers a plus 2 bonus, as well as occasional myriad other effects, depending on who is fighting. For example, imps deal extra damage when they have combat advantage. Also, general reminder, diagonal movement is allowed.
Anyway, you spring out from behind the wall and shoot one of the imps, slaying it immediately. Looks like you have that other imps attention.
Meteorwolfsprite continues his valiant assault against your foes, throwing another sprite blast. He manages to destroy the enemy wolf sprites, but the Ogre is completely unfazed by the attack. It strikes back, but meteorwolfsprite dodges out of the way, luckily.
The fire imp, alerted by the commotion of one of his playing card brethren dying, comes running.
The remaining card imp is closer, and runs up at you, swinging a clawed hand. You dodge out of the way as you often do.
(http://img.ie/8c299.png)
I meant slide 1 south-east, then run southeast as far as I can and take the opportunity attack from the imp. If the map ends before I can move my maximum, then spend the rest of the move going east.
You have moved to the full edge of the Strife map with 1 move remaining. If you wish to ABSCOND, you may make an athletics check to run the hell away.
>Ascend To The UPSTAIRS
You proceed to the top floor, where the Gate to your world awaits. You here a lot of thumping around, and you're fairly certain that its a few of those Ogres, like the ones you helped AL fight. You could probably get past them completely, if you were sneaky about it.
As for the room the Gate is in, you can't tell what is in there. It's too far away, and the Ogres are making too much noise.
(http://img.ie/cb5a2.png)
>AL: Check to make sure all your limbs are accounted for.
Yeah, you're fine. You stand up and take a look around. It is extremely hot here, at least 105 degrees Fahrenheit. You already begin to sweat as you take in your surroundings. Or at least, you try to but a whole bunch of... Jelly things are staring at you. It's kind of unnerving.
One of them says "Pop."
Okay. That's... Weird.
Then another says "Pop." Then another. And another. And soon, everyone one of the jelly things is bouncing around at waist height shouting "POP!"
Maybe you should have stuck with the imps.

Mikheal: Choose a Direction at random.
You randomly walk south for a while. It's pretty boring. Eventually, you stumble across a road going east and west. Which way?
Athletics check for escapin': 9+8=17.
You pull off a pretty decent LASS SCAMPER, and get away from the imps. Unfortunately, you have now lost the path. That's irritating. What now?
>Notice pictographs (Skian Lore).
[9,2+8]=19
You take a closer look at the Pictographs. As near as you can tell, they seem to refer to a dead volcano somewhere nearby. It seems to be a map, maybe, with certain dead ends being noted. Weird.

You tippy toe your way across the the hall. Like taking candy from a blindfolded baby. While it's asleep. Those Ogres are still making a lot of noise though. Make a perception check to see if you can get an idea of what is in the room before you just run in.
Or just run in. Whatever.
I didn't realize we could move diagonally.
>Mimi: Shoot the nearest card imp like a boss and abscond six spaces down.
6+7+5+3+2=23.
You dodge the imp's rather pathetic attempt to stop you from shooting it in the face, and shoot it in the face, slaying it. You back up six spaces, and wait for the fire imp to round the corner...
Meteorwolfsprite attacks the Ogre, hitting it for 13 damage.
Predictably, the Ogre returns the favor, but misses again.
The last imp follows you, ready to tear you apart. Good thing you're on the on the other side of the room.
(http://img.ie/0c91a.png)
>Try to find a noted dead end from the map. Maybe it be more helpful than it sounds.
It isn't a map, as such, and wherever this volcano is, you're nowhere near it. Unless this temple was built straight on top of the thing, but you kind of doubt that. In any case, you'll probably need to find this volcano before you can do anything else with this information.
RL: Wander.
You wander around without the slightest indication of a direction you ought to head. You soon become hopelessly lost. You're getting hungry. You're gonna die out here in this trackless wilderness! You hate this game and those stupid imps who forced you off the- Hey, there's that path again.

You continue along the path. This time, nothing jumps out of a tree at you.
You find yourself in a small clearing with a few small holes in the ground. If you had to guess, you'd say that they are snake dens. But these are far too small for the snakes you've been seeing in the trees...
Oh, and a spirograph is hovering near the center. Awesome.
You feel something slither against your leg, and look down to see a bright blue, small snake constricting your right calf. It says "Hello!" in a cheerful voice. Maybe it is just hugging you?

You emerge into the back room of the temple, and find a floating spirograph. Well, maybe not the back room. You see something on the back wall. Maybe a secret passage? Make a Skaian Lore check.
RL: Talking snakes, what the shit. Then realize they are adorable.
They are adorable, aren't they? More come out, but unlike the first, most of them keep a bit of distance. The largest one (Maybe 3 feet long) addresses you. "What brings you to our humble village, my dear?"

No, it comes here to be interpreted creatively.
>Mimi: Just shoot the fire imp. Then abscond one space right, two spaces south east, two spaces right.
5+5(roll)+10=20.
You squeeze another round off, and take out the last imp. Your task complete, you run to meteorwolfsprite's side to give it a hand, as it looks pretty winded.
That doesn't stop it from attacking though. Your sprite attacks the Ogre again, dealing 13 damage.
The Ogre fights back, hitting meteorwolfsprite for 10 damage, and knocking it unconscious. It takes a massive step forward to you.
Well. Shit.
(http://img.ie/39225.png)
>Notice something near or at the spirograph.
[8.4+8]=22
Yeah, this is totally a secret back room. You discover the mechanism that operates the door, and unlock it, sliding it open to reveal a far more high tech looking chamber. It is filled with monitors, a few keyboards, and what looks like a miniature alchemizer. Nothing seems to be operational though.
RL: "Well, gates, apparently."
"Seems you came to the right place then." The elder snake replies, casting a glance at the gate. "I'm afraid you'll have to excuse my son. We don't see many visitors, and he's rather outgoing."
>Head East.
You start walking east. About twenty minutes in, you hear the sound of hooves behind you. And shouting. You aren't certain, but you think it sounds like "You there! Halt!"

You shoot at the Ogre, poised to score a direct hit. It is not fond of this idea, however, and phases out, allowing your crossbow bolt to pass through. Dammit.
It phases back in time to punch you. You leap out of the way as it smashes the floor where you were just standing.
(http://img.ie/7ac40.png)
>Mikheal: Turn aroundexpecting santa in a Homestuck RPG chrismas special.
You turn around to see that you were wrong about the hooves. Apparently, that's just the sound large, booted talons make as they thunder across the road. A large patrol of armored blue birds jog up to you, and halt. One steps forward and addresses you. "State your business in our land."

Actually, Imps have better defense than Ogres. They just don't have nearly as many hit points.
The Ogre swings at you, attempting to stop you from firing, and hits you for 15 damage. All it does is piss you off.
You shoot it for 22 damage, and force it against the wall. You have seven health remaining. Are you sure you only want to take 1 step to the left?

You dash off away from the Ogre, ready for it to fly through the wall. It follows you, but it mostly heads through empty air, rather than walls. You suppose it can't see through walls, even if it can move through them. Interesting. Your turn.

You turn the room upside down, looking for anything functional. It is during this search that you realize all this gear simply isn't plugged in!
Just kidding. Whatever power source it runs on, it is apparently directly integrated with the machine, and it is off. What rotten luck.
On the plus side, you should be able to recall the exact features of this room for some time, in case that was something that could be helpful in some way.

The Green Space is the spirograph, and you can move easily into it, but doing so teleports you out of the encounter. For the moment, I will assume you want to keep fighting, and have you take your last move south east.
You shoot the beast for another 13 points of damage and scamper off towards the glowing spirograph.
The Ogre follows you, finally catching up to you and attacking again, though luckily missing you. You can't take much more punishment right now, and you're pretty certain you'd be screwed if it hit you again.

There's not really anything I could do that wouldn't provoke an opportunity attack, though, is there?
Shifting is a form of movement where you choose to expend your full move action to move 5 feet, or 1 square. This move does not provoke oppurtunity attacks, though some powers can stop this, such as the Harsh Tutelage power of the Weapon Master Prototyping.

You tippy toe your way across the the hall. Like taking candy from a blindfolded baby. While it's asleep. Those Ogres are still making a lot of noise though. Make a perception check to see if you can get an idea of what is in the room before you just run in.
Or just run in. Whatever.
Lady luck once again is my mistress.
That, and your AC is high enough that for that Ogre to hit you, I need to bust out a 16 on my dice. Also, if you die, you don't respawn on Prospit or something. You'd need someone to get to your house and do sloppy makeouts with you to use your dreamself as a one-up.
Anyway.

Looks like that Basilisk... Bit off more than he could chew. YEEEEEEAAAAAAH!
GM Note: I think it is impossible for Alex to get his hands on a portable messaging system. I just flushed my musical instrument, and drew... Another musical instrument. At least after the battle I replaced that with vitality gel. Whoo boy.
Am I allowed to shift again? If so:
>Mimi: Shift up 1 and shoot the ogre.
If not:
>Mimi: Shoot the ogre and head up one, up-left one, up one, up-left three.
Either way I rolled a 5+2 which is 17 which I'm guessing is a miss no matter what I do.
I knew I was going to miss it once eventually.
EDIT: I didn't mean to double post.
Hilariously, it is not a miss. You dodge the Ogre's inevitable attack of oppurtunity, and shoot it for 11 points of damage before running away from it again.
The Ogre follows after you, but ends up a step behind, as usual. Nice footwork.

I am pretty certain that is not how it works, and even if it did, someone would need to alert her to the fact that you are the dead.
Anyhow. You fly completely off the handle and perfrom a BRUTAL AFFRONT. SO BRUTAL. You place a crossbow bolt in each of the accursed Ogre's eyes, prompting it to explode into grist.

There are reasons why Underlings are not roaming the landscape of your land like a plague.
Anyway, you look into a few of the stores. Most of them carry a very small assortment of specialty goods, such as glassware for chemists, a carpenter's shop, one store filled wall to wall with stone mugs, etc.

Alright, you leap over imp four, dodging Imp's 2 and 3s attacks on you as you disengage from them. Imp 4 however, is in a better position to claw at you, and does so for 5 damage. That cheeses you off pretty bad, and you stab at Imp 4 in retaliation, dealing 10 damage.
The Ogre takes a step closer to you and swings, but thankfully you dodge out of the way.
Imp 3 decides to stay where it is and attack froglosiphersprite, but yours is a plucky sprite, and it dodges clear.
Imp 2 also decides to attack froglosiphersprite, so he leaps forward and actually manages a hit! your loyal sprite takes 5 damage.
Imp 4 also attacks you once more, but misses.
Froglosiphersprite remains in a good position to hit all your enemies, and throws another spriteblast, but only manages to hit the Ogre this time. It takes 8 points of damage.
RL: Wander.
You decide to wander about on Prospit's moon, since you don't seem to be waking up. The prospitians you see are few and far between, as well as apparently busy, but also polite and respectful.

As you wander around, you decide it might be interesting to follow that chain you spotted earlier. You fly over to Prospit proper, and spot a red carpet. Curious. You follow it for a while. There are more Prospitians here, but they treat you in the same respectful manner as the others. As you move farther and farther along, you realize you seem to be moving into a castle. You continue to follow it, and realize you have stumbled across an audience chamber. A lone figure sits on the throne, gracefully bearing aspects of the prototypings of your allies, as well as your own.
She gestures for you to come closer.
>DB: Use mutualistic flurry on Imp 4.
You open up a can of Whoop-ass on Imp 4, slaying it with a flurry of blows. Alright!
The Ogre takes a mighty swing at you, hitting you for 8 damage. You should note that you have 9 hit points remaining, and have already used your second wind.
Imp 3 attacks Forglosiphersprite, but still can't seem to hit him.
Imp 2 attacks it as well, but cannot hit the agile sprite.
Froglosipher sprite fires again, hitting Imp 2 and the Ogre for 8 points apiece.

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.

Fun facts!
1. Most of your boondollars seem to be coming from Imp scrabblers.
2. Imp mooks, despite making up a third of the Imp count from that count up, were worth less than a quarter of the total boondollar accumulation. I am not checking the math to be precise because I already scrapped it because no one cares.
3. A similar phenomenon occurred with Juggernaut and Aggressor Ogre types.
As a result, expect to see more enemies on your maps, but for them to also be individually weaker, so don't worry too much. Also, one shotting a bunch of imps lends to the illusion that all of our characters are enormous bad-asses.

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.

Also Blade, from the handbook manual thing:
Quote from: First paragraph on page 65
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:
Quote from: Same page, after the picture of DD and PM
After progressing through their worlds, the players will end up on Skaia itself, a planet covered in a chessboard pattern, representing the ultimate potential.

This page and the few after it for proof.
I actually got a bit confused myself after checking the pdf and wiki, (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seven_Gates (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seven_Gates)) but the first paragraph of the wiki seems to be where the pdf got the information and is more than a little misleading, especially when you read further down (paragraph four). The main problem is it doesn't distinguish between gates over the house's, and the gates sprinkled over the lands.
Anyway, the important bits:
1. There are more gates than the ones hovering over your house, and those in your land take you to the homes of players in their land (including your own)
2. In any case, the first gate of either set wouldn't port you to anyone else's house.
3. God tiers aren't the only way to reach Skaia. You do not have to get the tiger to participate in the final battle.
4. Choosing to go God Tier will require a sub-quest, rather than immediate level advancement for someone who wants to have a powerful Signature Alchemy. The main bulk of said subquest will involve finding one of your two quest beds, and then dying all over it.
5. Lastly, remember rule zero. There's a lot we know about the game mechanics of Sburb, but also a lot we don't. Things will be fudged. Canon will be
Now, let's get back to playing the game. I have to do something real quick, and then I'll probably get to assaulting CR with a bunch more enemies.

You start making your way up to the top of your house to return the key you'd borrowed to get into that temple. Swordsprite joins you as you ascend.
When you reach the top of the house, you notice a few enemies clustered around your gate. You can choose to attempt to get closer with stealth, which will be difficult, as there is no cover, or you can just straight up roll initiative.

You manage to get top initiative and move 6 spaces left. ChocoboMageKnightSprite moves west to follow you, and attacks the Ogre at long range with a sprite blast, scoring and confirming a Brutal Affront! The Ogre takes 18 damage and grants combat advantage to you.
The Ogre roars, and follows after the two of you. As it gets closer, it scoops some flames off of its body and rolls them into a ball before chucking them at you. You dive out of the way of the blast, but CMKS takes the brunt of the attack, suffering 12 damage and smelling dangerously like fried chicken.
The various imps approach, but only Imp 2 gets close enough to attack you. It drags it's nasty, ectoplasm-y claws over your torso. Nasty. You take 5 damage.

As I said before, I hate metagaming, and I refuse to do it Mikheal doesn't normally walk away from a fight like this, and he sees no reason to. If Blade didn't want me to fight this guy, then he shouldn't have sent him in Mikheals direction.
I believe you have mentioned several times that you intend to have Mikhael be of tactically sound mind.

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.
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on December 21, 2011, 10:07:30 pm
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.
He used two move actions, the second he got by exchanging a standard action, to move 12 spaces.
Or it should have been. I just overlayed the images in paint to double check, and I count 11 spaces of distance. Which is weird. Especially since I meant to move him 12. In fact, the original plan was to move him 12 over to you, use his elite action to gain an extra standard action for the turn, then tear out your eyeballs and deliver a stern lecture to the empty sockets.
It's the name of the attack. I wouldn't actually have him tear out your eyes.
Anyhow, I didn't because I counted twelve up to the space where he sat now. Which I won't bother taking back, because there isn't going to be much difference either way.

Actually, he could have gotten real close to you right there.

The guy just threw a safe at you. You might reconsider your pride if someone suddenly can toss safes left and right. There is also the alternative that Blade can have him stuff a sock in your mouth and walk away, but that is up to Blade.

I think you seriously underestimate how seriously Mikheal takes this Issue.
In that case it's up to Blade to choose whether your character dies or not since Mikheal won't personally stop the agent from killing him. Since this is the case I wouldn't worry about plot problems. Since Blade makes the plot, and can choose whether or not to kill you, I think the plot will be fine. You may however be limited to your dream self after this.
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on December 22, 2011, 12:24:29 am
I think you seriously underestimate how seriously Mikheal takes this Issue.
I understand that Mikhael takes issue with backing down from this fight, or rather any fight, but these are the kind of events that establish a character. Situations change, and people grow. I think being hit by a train like HB could go a couple of ways for Mikhael, personally. The cause of this being that Mikhael wouldn't back down might cause him to be more conciliatory in the future. Or, the whole experience could drive him into a self-propelled Derse shattering frenzy. It's all up to you, as his player.
In any case, this is a thing that is happening. There will be situations where fighting is not the best course of action, or even close to the best course of action. In the future, it would be wise to keep this in mind. If meta-gaming keeps your character participating, then a limited amount is acceptable.
For now, it is important to keep in mind that, as far as HB is concerned, for the moment, you are more valuable alive than dead, and he will most likely refrain from killing you outright. Unless you continue to antagonize him after he drops you to zero hp.
Anything you want to do with your turn other than attempt to make yourself mobile? You are prone and can't move, but a second wind is still an option.
Hmmm. Can I scourge Charge through the Imp to the gate?
Not through him, but if you hit and kill him, then make your full movement, you can be one square from the gate on your move. Or you could take an opportunity attack and double move through.

WHOOPSI-DAISY.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still recovering from my illness and it occurs to me that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer at the moment.
You duck under the Ogre's fist as you move north to get a better shot. And a better shot you get, hitting the ogre for 10 damage.
Unfortunately, it follows after you, and attacks again. Luckily, you have a well developed sense of self preservation, and dodge accordingly.
RL's cursor appearifies just behind it though, carrying an enormous bookshelf. It hits the Ogre in the head for 9 damage, and slides it 2 spaces (if you like.)
Imp 3 attacks Froglosipher sprite, hitting it for 9 hit points, but Imp 2 misses it, luckily.
Froglosipher sprite attacks them both with a spriteblast, but in his weakened state, misses both.
DB's turn. Also, if you want to move the Ogre, tell me where he's going.

You convince the good-natured turtle to carry you across the water in short order. Good deal! It's not very comfortable though, as you don't have a lot of space to sit, and your shoes wind up getting soaked by the surf regardless. Oh well, better than being drenched from head to toe.

It's kind of chilly in the temple, but nowhere near as cold as it was outside. Drier too, thank goodness.
The ogre will shift two spaces south.
>DB: Use COMMUNIST MANIFISTO on the OGRE.
You let loose with a blast of concentrated communism at the Ogre, hitting it for 14 points of damage, and also keeping it from making opportunity attacks until the end of its next turn.
The Ogre is now out of range of you, and is none too happy with RL's cursor. It swings a mighty fist, but might does not equal accuracy.
Have him get shoved 2 spaces south, please.
RL: Now hit him with the toilet!
The only offensive powers you have remaining require either that the Ogre move away from you without shifting, or deal no damage but give free combat advantage or slow the target instead. There are other actions of admittedly dubious usefulness you could make, such as manipulating terrain as well.

>DB: Keep doing that stabby thing you do.
You make another attack, but the erratic nature of your current weapon keeps you from landing a killing blow. Which is really lame, since that means that Ogre has another chance to paste you.
Which it does. The Ogre's hand comes down on you like the wrath of god. You take 8 points of damage, and are now 1 point away from death. This would be an excellent time to panic.
RL continues to run interference.
The imp attacks her cursor, but is luckily too weak to force a disconnect.
Nobody moved, not reposting a map.

You manage to spot the imps, lurking in the darkness just beyond the reach of the crystals glow. Luckily for you, it seems they don't know that you know.
You can see more crystal clusters in the distance, but most of the cave is only dimly lit. If an enemy conceals themselves, and you don't see them on your turn, they will have combat advantage against you if they attack. Of course, the same goes for you.
Right now, you see two imps, one south of you, and one west of you.

Do you want to avoid all enemies you can? Or do you want to sneak attack some of them? If the former, I'll just make a couple stealth rolls, and only post a map and enemies if you get spotted. Otherwise, I can give you the first group of enemies you encounter whether you see them or not.
In the interim, you make for your next gate, getting delioriously ninjasty all in up this business. Nothing suspects you are there.
RL: Go back to hover-wandering.
You return to drifting about. After all, you can sit around anytime, but you can only fly when you're asleep!
Wait a sec, is someone else awake in their dreamsphere?
>Mimi: No need to wait around on CR now that you've built up his house, you've got a smartphone to contact him if necessary. Head up to the second gate!
You get off of your computer and begin to make your way up to the top of your house. More monsters block your path, as always. It's like the game has nothing better to do than throw a bunch of monsters at you.
At least it's only a few imps. Though you suspect there will be more when you reach the top.
Roll initiative.

You hear movement up ahead, and decide to get a look at what's ahead. You manage to spot three fire imps and an ogre, then duck your head back. They don't seem alert, so sneaking past is an option, though somewhat tricky. On the other hand, you could attack them, and have full advantage from the surprise factor.
On the other other hand, doing that would make sneaking pretty much impossible for the rest of the climb.

Oh yeah, and as for action, summon SS one space up from me, move two spaces right. Unless SS doesn't need to be manually resummoned, in which case shoot the fire imp then move the same combination of spaces. 12+...10, right? In the latter case.
Unfortunately, you don't go first. The imps are ready for you, and the fire imp launches a fireball at you, which you deftly dodge.
The two ghost imps swoop in, but only one of the two manages to get close enough to attack, and attack it does, clawing you for 5 points of damage.
At this point shooting the fire imp would provoke an opportunity attack. Do you wish to proceed?

You scramble up to the high ground on the crystals. It isn't particularly good footing, but attacking you will be a bit trickier. Not to mention, anything that wants to hit you is going to have to come into the light to do it.
You start jeering and making catcalls, and successfully draw your two foes into the light! Yay? Both the sword imp and knight imp attack you, and the knight imp scores a hit. You take 5 damage, and are knocked back 1 space.

Yes, you could step back a space as your entire move action, and have no risk of opportunity attacks, and attack safely. Alternatively, you could pull out your unmodified rapier and stab at close range, ad still get access to a full move.
Those are two options that do not involve opportunity attacks.

The various imps close in and, with the exception of the card imp, who is way, way behind, attack in a fashion that is both scary and dramatic. Not particularly effective though. They're not skilled fighters.

Well, not really. But you stick to the shadows and scurry up yon stairs like there was nothing to it.
For completely circumventing the encounter, you receive a small stack of boondollars. A stack 1500 deep, to be precise.

Actually, it was a hit, it is just that ghost imps are the worst kind of asshole and can ignore one hit per encounter. Anything ghost prototyped can, in fact.
It's going to be extremely amusing when one of us pulls out our equivalent of SEPULCHRITUDE on the black king and it does absolutely nothing.
You slam the point of your rapier straight through the fire imp's head, taking 1 point of damage from its aura as you sprint away from the other imps who, try as they might, can't get you with an opportunity attack. It explodes into grist as the Ghost imps follow behind you.
Both Ghost Imps catch up in short order, but neither can muster the martial ability to harm you.
That card imp is still way behind you too.

You stab at the ghost imp you swung at before, and it fails to summon the energy necessary to return to an incorporeal state. It is slain. And you make a break for it, running north. The remaining ghost imp claws you as your run, and you take 5 damage.
It flies after you, intending to hit you again, but naturally fails, as these things can only barely touch you if they get insanely lucky.
The card imp seems to be catching up.
Not that it's serious or anything, but you are down to 15 hit points.

The second ghost imp pulls the same crap the first one did. Typical. You dash away anyway, easily evading the claw swipe of your irritating enemy.
Since he couldn't see where you went, the ghost imp chose a less than perfect path to follow you, and is now a space away from you as a result.
The card imp still has not caught up.

Yes. If I want to stalk a stalker, I'll need to be unseen. I have no idea if he actually is there, but it might prove useful.
You resume your trip to the top of your house and the second gate. You are almost caught on the twelfth floor, but your impressive ninja skills make sure that doesn't happen for the rest of the trek up.
You are now sitting on the stairs between the top floor, and the floor just below it. Is there anything you wish to do before leaping into the fray (stealthily) and possibly encountering the strange figure?

It takes a minor action, but yeah, you swap out for your crossbow and blast the imp imp, taking it out, then head back the way you came.
The Card imp stops, having completely lost you.

The Ogre's and Basilisk have not seen you yet, so you could either make a straight up run for the gate, or attack them when they aren't expecting it. Either way, you don't see the Dersite.

That isn't a fire Ogre. That is a meteor prototyped Ogre. In any case, you creep closer to your foe, then burst forth from the shadows and strike with a vicious fury. One attack misses, but you deal 30 damage all the same.

You try to wake up to kill stuff, but you are conscious for less than a quarter second before an enormous fist puts you back under.
Or possibly somewhere else entirely. You are in your room, sort of. Everything is purple, for some odd reason. Maybe you suffered permanent brain damage?

You bash the Ogre for 8 damage, pressing your advantage.
The Meteor Ogre retaliates, hitting you for 14 damage.
The Basilisk rounds on CMKSprite, biting for 10 damage and slowing it.

The Sword Ogre moves, unsure which adversary to attack first.

Bizarrely enough though, from the sound of it, Combat is being made without you up on the top floor! Curious!

You decide that discretion is still likely the better part of valor, and smash the Ogre in the shin for 11 points before making a break for it. You duck under a massive swing as you run away from the Ogre.
The Ogre cannot move after you because you immobilized it with your attack. Even if the GM forgot that when he originally posted.
The Basilisk bites at CMKSprite again, doing another 9 damage. Bastard's tougher than your sprite would've guessed.
CMKSprite attacks back, doing another 11 damage.
The Sword Ogre, now having one target clearly closer than the other, moves into range with your sprite, and swings the massive blade at his feathered head. He hits dead on for 15 points. Things are looking grim.
(http://tnypic.net/61a82.png)

You stick your head out the nearest window, and look straight up. Wow. He built up alright. Up and up and up. In fact, it looks like he is still going. Wow.

YES! Finally, a rocket pack! Now you can go see whatever it is you're going to do on RL's land! This is going to be sweet!
As soon as you get the grist for it together first. What a load of garbage! You spent so much trying to find the combination and code (An old backpack, a lighter, a fire extinguisher, and a model jet and PSHOOOOO, respectively), you don't have enough to make it now!
Guess you do have to waste some imps. Or maybe you can get RL to seed you some grist. Yeah. That'd work.

You get your stealth on. Stealthily. You reach the top of the stairs, and see a couple of new enemy types you've not seen before, Basilisks. You hang back on the stairs, careful not to be seen. You also hear the distinctive sounds of a couple of Ogres, and just as you though, combat is going on up here. Yes indeedy. You can't tell what with just this moment though. You'll need to get closer.
You are currently hidden, and if you roll well, and the basilisks roll poorly, you can get a free action in before combat begins in earnest, plus combat advantage in that surprise round.

You look up, and see a dark sky, and not much else. You're hearing quite a lot though. Whispers, conversations not meant for mortals ears, all filtering down to you. You can't make sense of it though. Except for one word, clear and loud, unlike the rest.
"Mikhael...."
In that case...

Strictly speaking, you didn't have to roll initiative, but this works fine, because it means I don't have to ask you for it this post.
Also, glad someone likes the sprites. I might give the Ogre's and Basilisks a redesign, since I put their design in a space the same size as an imp's. Really, I should have used four squares, but I derped.
Anyway, ballsy move, slipping by the basilisk like that. It got another chance to spot you, but it failed, so you get the surprise action.
You shoot the basilisk for 12 damage, surprising the hell out of it before MeteorWolf sprite shoots out of the stair well and claws at it's eyes, dealing an additional 11 damage. The basilisk hisses, displaying a gross frog tongue as it prepares to retaliate.
As this goes on, the two Ogres fight their mystery opponent. You hear the Ghost Ogre that you can see land a solid blow, and a wail from it's accomplice as it takes a blow in turn.

You drop another bolt into the frog basilisk's behind for 12 damage, then move north to get a look at the fight you walked in on. You still can't see what it is fighting, but you now have a clear view of the Ghost Ogre. Whatever is fighting it just caused it pain though, as it is making an awful racket. It retaliates, attacking the mystery aggressor, though it apparently doesn't land the hit.
Meanwhile, your sprite continues the attack on the Frog basilisk, but without a lot of success this minute. At the very least, he evades the basilisk's attack in turn.
The other basilisk, sporting a whip sword for a tail, locks eyes with your sprite, chilling it's blood. Your sprite takes 15 damage, and is going nowhere anytime soon.

The Ogre takes 11 damage from your assault, and can also no longer move, at least for now. It's foe attacks it again, harming it further. The Ogre roars in frustration, attacking its assailant successfully, though to what degree is difficult to ascertain.
Your sprite continues to attack the frog basilisk, dealing another 14 points of damage. That basilisk won't last much longer.
The other basilisk moves out to engage MeteorWolfsprite as well, dealing 16 damage and leaving your ally looking faint.
The other ogre also attacks your mystery ally, but to no apparent effect.

I wonder how the sword Basilisk managed to move through the walls like that.
Large creatures can move through spaces that would otherwise be too small for them, but they can't remain there, and the movement gives up opportunity attacks. Not that that mattered that time.
You move a step south, and shoot at the Frog Basilisk, dealing 13 damage to it.
The Ghost Ogre takes another attack, and deals another in kind, without success.
Your sprite attacks the Frog basilisk again, but doesn't manage to score the much needed hit. The Basilisk takes the opportunity to unleash another fearsome bite, dropping your sprite. He's out for the res of the fight. It turns, glaring at you fiercely.
Rather than posture and menace, the sword basilisk charges at you, baring knifelike fangs before attempting to sink them into your flesh. You dodge away from it.
The other Ogre attacks your benefactor, but to no effect, judging from the sound of it.

You'd like to, but they're quite some ways away from you. Perhaps if you had a grappling hook gun, you could fire an anchor into one of the windows, then shimmy across. Of course, since you're so high up, that'd be pretty dangerous.
The voices continue to grow in volume. They call your name, over and over.
"Choco you've got to fly away! You can catch up later."
>CR: Run up 5, and left 7. Jump into the gate.

You call out to your sprite to make a break for it, then run like the wind, leaping into your gate.
You emerge at the top of a dormant volcano. A return node hovers at the opposite end of the cavernous opening. A winding path inside the mouth of the volcano leads down, but you can't tell how far. It's a little warmer here, but a gust of bitingly cold wind reminds you that, yes, this is still your land.
((You mean you want to scrap it in return for an extra half point next time you alchemize? Yeah, I guess it would be no great loss, especially if you made more or less the same thing, just without the attack penalty. You do, however, get a free half point if you make the same thing and just stack more traits on it.))

You show this chump your stabs. 14 points worth of stabs, interestingly enough. You then back up, ready to get huim again when he tries to follow you.
More painful sounding noises come from the Ogre. It doesn't seem to be having luck hitting back either. Whoever it is fighting must be pretty good.
The frog basilisk you were beating on earlier lines up behind the sword-tailed basilisk, ready to come after you once he makes some room.
The sword basilisk doesn't have room to maneuver in the tight space, and simply glares at you angrily.
You hear a loud *thump* and a shout of pain behind you. Sounds like that second Ogre got a shot in.

You pull out your Lunar Cross and unleash one of your best moves, TIDAL FORCE, obliterating the Ghost Ogre, revealing a surprised looking Prospitian. Unlike the others you've seen, he is clearly dressed for battle, and h quickly recovers from his shock, flashing you a quick thumbs up before turning and slashing at the Ogre behind him.
The bottleneck thing going on keeps the basilisks from attacking you.
The Prospitian continues his battle, dodging a strike from the Wolf Ogre behind him.

You start flapping your arms. Predictably, this does nothing. It occurs to you that this might mean that the Heartless Bastard that beat you up may have thrown you down the mountain, and that this is a dream manifestation of your body's interpretation of the signals from the environment.

You can't really tell whether or not your chocobo sprite is alright, since he apparently hasn't followed you through. He was a bit swamped when you left him.
In any case, you move further into the volcano to get a free shot in at the closest enemy.
It isn't until you get closer to the enemies that you realize just how many of them there are. God damn. It's like an asshole convention down here. Despite their superior numbers, you've noted that the underlings are not a very organized fighting force. You could probably take them on if you did it in chunks.

You move for spaces northeast, and tell the prospitian to step back as you catch your breath and recover 13 hit points, putting you at 23. He declines with a shake of his head as he slashes at the Ogre again, dealing 12 damage to the beast. The Ogre is looking pretty shaky at this point.
The basilisk creeps up behind the Ogre, and glares at you. It's still wearing that annoying smile.
The Ogre swings at the prospitian again, but can't land another blow.

You slip out of your house, then move along the wall, presumably headed for the other exit to catch your quarry off guard. You swap your knife for your recently alchemized Clawsword. Man, this thing is so sweet. SO sweet. Heavy though.

While you monopolize the Ogre's attention, the prospitian attacks it again, dealing 5 damage.
The basilisk still can't get close enough to attack, but the Ogre can. He brings a pair of fists down on you, smashing you for 12 damage. These things don't hit often, but when they do, it hurts!

Yeah, you aren't looking forward to that.
The Fire Ogre is on you before any of the others, and swings at you with with a huge, burning fist. You dodge out of the way, feeling the heat of the flame on the exposed parts of your face.

You're right, I'm sorry. I need to endeavor to remember the effects of some of these attacks.
You take 1 damage from starting your turn in the flame aura. You then make an attack against the ogre, and the imp, killing the latter, and dealing 15 damage to the former. You leap back, ready to receive the next charge
The now rather diminished group of enemies makes their collective way toward you, with the Flame Ogre still leading the charge. It takes a swing at you, and misses completely, because it should not have even been able to make an attempt last time.
Also, reaping Justice has a slide effect, meaning you can move the target one space in any destination if you land the hit. In the future, please specify where you want them to go if you want to do that.

You stab at the Basilisk for another 11 damage. It's starting to slow down, but you've been at your limit for a while. You need to hold out just a little longer.
The Basilisk snaps at you again. You dodge out of the way just barely.

Your modifiers in the OP are not accurate. They'd be 2 points behind, since you add your level as well. I'll try to get around to it tomorrow.
You kick open the door like an action hero, and charge in to open up those imps. Who the hell do they think they are, putzing around in your house? You slash at the first frogsuited jerk you find, dealing 11 damage.
The imps don't take kindly to your interruption, and attack you accordingly. Neither one scores a hit though, so it doesn't much matter.

Luckily, they are otherwise occupied. blackTemplar is currently fighting them, and, if his shouts and movements are any judge, enjoying it way too much. Unlike the Giclopses, however, two basilisks are less occupied. They sneer at you nastily as they ready themselves for battle.
Ugh, I'm beat. I'll make and post this map in the morning, especially since my Giclops sprite I tried to work up is hideous. In any case, roll initiative.
Oh wow. I took a while to post again. So what were the effects of my blunder?
I believe in addition to putting yourself prone, you took 5 damage. I'm too tired to look up the relevant post tonight, as I'm currently on a normal person schedule, instead of my more usual creature of the night routine. If someone could backtrack and quote the relevant section of the post in question (which was edited to contain the relevant information in regards to the blunder), that'd be lovely, but as it stands I'll probably end up doing it in the morning. I think the rest of you sleep at night too.

You knock on a few doors, but no one answers. This place is unnaturally still, apart from the voices of the elder gods from the furthest ring filtering down to your head. You don't know how you know that's who they are either. The voices are getting clearer too. Also, probably not a good sign.
"Mikhael..."
"Knight, we seek only to assist thee..."
"We can lead you to victory when you'd never be able to alone"
"You have died a thousand times, and without us you will die a thousand more"
"We ask so little in return for our services"
"Speak to us, knight of mind, fulfill your destiny"
You are sorely tempted to stick your fingers in your ears and sing. It's just more of this crap, constantly. Who do they think they are dealing with, anyway? You aren't about to make a deal with the devil.

You resolve to listen to the voices for a bit, on the off chance that they'll shut their awful, awful mouths.
The voices cease, save for one. "Ah, good. It seems you are capable of listening to reason, Knight. Before I continue, I have a question for you. What would you say, were I to tell you that your quest has been doomed to fail, and has failed, countless times."

Both of the Imp's by you attack you, and manage to land a couple of decent hits. You take 10 damage, all told.

Okay, that makes sense.
You swing your tonfa in a wide arc, even as you take 2 damage from the intense heat from the imp and Ogre. You manage to destroy the recently arrived imp, and force the Ogre back, dealing 14 damage to it as well.
The enemies continue to surge forward. A meteor imp makes its way to you, and tries to slash at you with his claws. The fatigue from the heat from the Ogre and the various imps must be getting to you, because he lands a direct hit, and your wound is worth 5 hit points.
The Fire Ogre steps forward once again, and punches you square in the snout. You take 9 damage.
A meteor Ogre steps forward to assist in your defeat, but the other enemies are blocking his path! He waits behind the Fire Ogre.
The remaining enemies move forward. You have 9 hit points remaining, and your second wind has not been used.

What kind of fall damage would I be looking at by jumping and would I need more movement than just moving to an edge?
That's a tricky question to answer. The volcano goes a long, long way down, so if you jumped the full distance, your knees would probably go through your shoulders. Theoretically, you could grab the edge and swing down, and try to land on the floor below. But, if you miss, you might end up falling a long way before landing, and a one floor drop would be a d10 already.
> Claire: Finish Imp 3, then shift west.

You take out Imp 3, then use your Scorpion's strike to get started on Imp 2. It takes 8 physical damage, and substantial morale damage from seeing his wingman get blown into grist. You feel a little bad about ending a poor, innocent frog's life, but shake it off quickly. It was an imp in a frog suit, after all.
Imp 1 frog hops his way over to you, and tries to slap you around with an obscenely long tongue. You dodge the sticky, disgusting appendage.
Imp 2 tries his luck as well, but there's nothin' doin'.

>CR: Shift up-left, and run to the top of the red and jump down a level. Roll to soften the blow.

You decide to make a break for it. Things have gotten too hot to handle (literally), and as a ninja, you have no problems at all with absconding into the night.
You drop down, grabbing the ledge as you pass the floor, and swing yourself onto the next floor down. You stick the landing nicely, and suffer no damage. Of course, if you don't hide, those enemies will be on top of you again in no time flat.
Stealth or further Absconding?
>Mikheal: Bullshit.

We were directly responsible for the latter, and steered another toward the former.
"Your session is plagued by interference. Some for good, and some for ill. We have learned much from these interlopers, and we know where you must be led, in order to complete your goal. Before we get into all that... We have a bargain to make. But first, a token of good faith. Should you still be undecided when this is over, contact the Seer. We have just saved her from certain death. For the moment."
You don't get the impression that these things are lying to you... But you don't really feel like you should trust them completely either. What do you do?
>Mimi: FINISH or ALMOST FINISH HIM.

You thrust out again with your rapier, dealing another 12 damage. It doesn't stop the beast however.
In fact, to prove how not dead he is, the basilisk reaches its head forward to bite you- and suddenly stops. It grimaces in pain, and shakes its head wildly, like it just got a nasty headache. This might be your chance!

You're gonna throw these guys a corpse party, with the basilisks as the guests of honor. You charge toward the training dummy basilisk, and slash it with your halberd for 12 damage. Or, rather, what would have been twelve damage. It contracts, letting your halberd clang against a reinforced, armored plate. At least these things only seem to be able to do that once per fight.
Snakesprite flies forward and throws off a sprite blast, but he makes a grave blunder, and takes 4 damage instead of being useful.
The training basilisk takes a step forward and snaps at you, dealing 13 points of damage with its razor sharp teeth.
The fire basilisk decides to add insult to injury and locks eyes with your sprite. It remains unfazed by the gaze, but winces as the basilisk steps forward, bathing it in a haze of heat.
The Black Templar's battle with the giclops rages on beyond your enemy. He's a force to be reckoned with.

Really, I'd suggest getting a weapon with more useful passive attributes, since those are used far more than once-per-encounter specials.
You melt into the shadows and proceed farther down the volcano. Once you cool down from being next to a couple of walking bonfires, you realize it's a fair bit warmer down here than it was nearer the top of the volcano. This place might not be completely dead.
>Mikheal: Go on.But first... We have a bargain to make. But first...Department Of Redundancy Department?
This is what happens when I move back to edit a previous section of the post. Edited to prevent an Elder God from sounding stupid.
"As for what it is that we want... We wish to have dominion over a new realm. The world you come from, Earth, was home to many intelligent beings which we were free to manipulate. This is no longer the case. If you succeed, a new world will be created, ripe with minds and wills to bend and twist. We hope it is clear that it is not your permission we seek. We have no need of it. Rather, we seek your trust, that we may aid you in fulfilling your goal.
"What say you, Knight?"
RL: Slide out of its range and give it a DAMN GOOD SOLID WHACK
In short, slide right 1 (I'm assuming the map blundered a bit, since it should need to be next to me to attack) and use the weapon power on the training basilisk.
3+8+10-1=20.
Yeah, I goofed on the map. Oh well, no crisis.
You scoot back form the basilisk, and swipe across its nose with the blade of your halberd, dealing 21 damage to the beast.
Snakesprite takes a point of damage from starting his turn next to the fire basilisk, then hovers in reverse, moving a space away from the fire basilisk and trying another sprite blast. This time it works correctly, but both basilisks evade the attack.
The training basilisk does not pursue you, but rather steps backward, grinning evilly. It locks eyes with you, and your legs go numb. You take 8 damage. You are now at 21 hit points, which is half of your maximum. You are also immobilized for 1 turn.
The fire basilisk moves forward to keep step with your sprite, and bites at it, but your sprite slithers out of the way.
You hear a sound that can only be described as large, and see blackTemplar perform a rocket boot assisted judo throw against one of the giclops, throwing it clear to the other side of the room and into the wall, and destroying several pillars in the process.

You find yourself worrying about your sprite again. You shake it off for now, realizing you have no way to contact him, and that, even if you did, this is hardly the time.
You descend farther into the volcano. There a few passages, peppering the inside of the volcano, that seem to have been left over when the lava stopped flowing. They all result in dead ends, but after some investigation, you realize something about the layout of this volcano seems familiar.
Of course! The temple you accessed through your first gate! The pictographs on the wall with the marked dead ends! It was talking about this place!
>Mikheal: The fuck? Explain to me why it would be in my interest to give a bunch of creepy demonic Elder Gods power over an entire world?
"We had power over the world you came from. Would continuing in that vein truly be so bad? Besides, you must take into consideration what we have to offer. With our help, you can finally claim the ultimate reward. Otherwise, you will be doomed. Your comrades will die, and your cause will be lost. In your darkest hour, you will turn against each other. Those who survive will not be able to halt the reckoning. Yours is a quest of futility, without our guidance. And, in any case, should you succeed without our help... We gain dominion over the new world in any case. For us, any way you succeed, is a way that we succeed."
A different voice speaks, oilier and altogether more unpleasant than the first. "Or... Perhaps the boy would prefer power over guidance?"
The first voice speaks again. "It is an option. But we require a task, before we bestow such a boon upon the Knight. A gesture, if you will, to prove that he can follow instructions. One of your number is unfit for your quest. He will either collapse in despair, or lash out in anger at you and your comrades. You must neutralize your Mage."

Your first swing hits the imp dead center, dealing seven damage, but you miss with your second hit, lodging your sword into the floor. You spend the rest of your turn dislodging it from the floor.
Imp 1 attacks you, but misses, and Imp has similar luck.
You cannot use Scorpion's strike this turn, because you missed with it last turn. No one actually moved, so the battlemap remains unchanged.
RL: Swear angrily at BT for wrecking shit, then heal up while you can't move.
You give BT a piece of your mind via colorful language, and catch your breath, so long as your legs are refusing to follow orders.
Snakesprite gives up on attacking both enemies at once, and focuses on the fire basilisk, doing 6 damage, and taking 1 from the fire aura.
The training basilisk takes another run up at you, and bites at you. It deals 10 damage, but at least you can move again.
The fire basilisk gives snakesprite similar treatment. He takes an extra 10 damage.
The stricken Giclops gets up and lumbers back towards BT.

You don't know how that window of opportunity opened just there, but it saved your life.
The same, unfortunately, can not be said for your mystery ally. The prospitian lies dead, partially crushed from being stepped on by the basilisk while you dueled it. He has something clutched in his hand.

Snakesprite takes a point of damage from the fire, and also attacks the fire basilisk, but he rolls another grave blunder. What are the odds? He takes 5 damage in the ensuing confusion.
The fire basilisk attacks your sprite in a desperate bid to reduce the number of enemy combatants, but only does 9 damage, leaving your sprite with 2 hit points, and conscious.

>CR: Attempt to pull the rod out of the mountain and run like hell.
You spend a few minutes trying to pull this enormous rod out of the volcano like the plug out of a bathtub. It doesn't show any signs of budging though. More importantly, your ADVENTURER SENSE tells you that this rod is not a plug, but some form of... Device? You guess? Your ADVENTURER SENSE was not very specific on the point. Whatever it is, it is not something you want to try ripping out of the ground, if only because it would be a waste of your time.
Would you like to spend some time contemplating the MYSTERY OF THE VOLCANO ROD?
That means I have 4 points in my lobby. GET ME THE FUCK OUT SO I CAN USE THEM.
Actually, 3 and 4 points. Maybe you'd like to bargain with the Elder Gods for consciousness? Not that I'd suggest it, but it is a thing you could do. If you were to do so, however, they could choose to force you into GRIMDARK mode whenever they chose, effectively turning your alignment to lawful evil, with all the team fracturing backstabbing that comes with that.

>CR: Why not?
You take some time to contemplate the mystery with the aid of your MYSTERIES skill. You're not working out much (I mean, come on, it's a volcano with a giant metal rod sticking out from the base. That's weird.), but it occurs to you that it might have something to do with thermal energy, maybe. You'd long suspected that your own home ran on volcano power anyway.
Speaking of, it sure is warm down here. Stiflingly too.
X-TREME EXP SURGES are so much fun.
> Claire: Smack imp 2 around some more.

You deal another quick 12 damage to Imp 2, leaving it gasping. He's gonna go down pretty soon.

You get ready to get your swing on when your semi-sentient halberd throws a damn fit. You struggle to keep it under control, but to no avail.
Your snakesprite keeps the pressure on, taking 1 damage from the flame, dealing 7 damage before hovering backwards out of the flame.
The basilisk grins and shoots a fireball out of its mouth like a particularly smug piranha plant. Danielle dodges, but snakesprite is knocked out by the blast.

PA's Exile had always been a ORK. Or atleast something that has talked like one. Now we can put a face to the shouty voice. :PI thought, "Ya know, I'll just go check how that other homestuck RPG is doing. The propah one."
Then I see that and get all excited. If I could be bothered to read this whole adventure, or at least the relevant parts, there'd be plenty of references. Plenty.
Post by: TherosPherae on January 16, 2012, 12:41:24 am
there'd be plenty of references. Plenty.SUMMARY TIME
Basically, there are something like 11-12 players we've gone through so far, 3-4 of which have been... displaced due to various acts of GM, SBURB admin powers, and ninjas. Eventually, we got into the game after spending the first month or so of play doing character development. The player that was supposed to enter second entered first, and then everyone just entered as they darn well pleased with no inherent order. Everyone got in, we trounced the shit out of some imps, then we started to really meet the out-of-session characters, of which there are many. After a few incidents with giclopes, falling meteors, and other bullcrap, the aliens sort of quieted down, mostly because people weren't on Pesterchum as much as they were a while ago. Then there was some more shenanigans with killing shit, memos with aliens, and about half the characters woke up on Prospit within 2 turns of each other. And now we're fighting some more shit, making cool armor, and the Knight of Mind is being tempted by eldritch horrors to neutralize the Mage of Rage for some reason.
In short, we're only recently getting to some actual plot stuff.

And I guess I should correct that, only now are we getting to the creatures in the dark on Derse, which tends to be a bit of a divergent discussion/plot line. I mean, I guess bT's crash into LoSaJ was kind of major, especially since he's an 8-foot-tall behemoth clad in pure black armor, and can still somehow be told off by a teenage girl. And everyone's gone through their first gates and back by now, too, so that kind of counts as plot. But this is the only thing so far that's really DUN DUN DUNNNNN worthy.

You figure that since it worked before, it'll probably work now. You start jeering and making catcalls at your enemies, and a pair of imps come at you out of the darkness. Yay?
One of the imps, wearing plate mail, charges at you and swings a mace at you, but misses completely. The other one, who appears to be disguised as some kind of boxing dummy or something, follows close behind.

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.
Johnfalcon is quite right, almost everything Black Templar does is deeply involved with the plot.
Also, being the Knight of Mind, Mikhael can resist going grimdark. One of his Aspect features is that he resists mental attacks. Provided he makes will saving throws (At -5), he could avoid going grimdark for the sum total of the adventure, even with taking the help of the Elder Gods.

You strike the Ogre for 13 damage. It looks about ready to go down for the count when it turns on you, murder in it's eyes. Whoops. It explodes violently, but you manage to dodge the brunt of the attack, and take only 7 damage.
The fire Ogre steps close to the yawning edge of the inside of the volcano, and launches a fireball at you. You dodge it easily.
A meteor imp runs toward you, slashing with its claws, and manages to actually hit you, stunning everyone. You take 5 damage.
The fire imp tries the same thing the fire ogre did, with as much success.
The remaining Meteor Ogre comes running at you, skirting dangerously close to the hole in the center of the battlefield.

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.
You crush the offending imp with your tonfa, via a nasty BRUTAL AFFRONT. SO BRUTAL.

Thanks for reminding me about that function of the Hope Aspect. You did not, however, gain temporary hit points. The Ogre killed itself (It's an attack they use when they are bloodied and facing an unbloodied opponent), and the imp was a minion type.
Also, you still hadn't drawn the card. If you draw it before getting back to your house though (i.e, after this fight), you can do that.
You attack the Ogre with your tiny stick of a weapon, and deal 13 damage.

At the risk of being quickly proven wrong by a quote post, I think the only people besides me who have chosen are you, Theros, and The Fool. Here's the list, in any case.
Punch Designix x2
Emerald Contraband
LPOS
Ruby Contraband

You continue to hand out beatings like candy at a parade. Which is to say, you pelt things with them. It's an analogy that works on multiple levels, unlike your enemy's failing circulatory system, because it, along with the rest of the imp, just exploded.
You are victorious.
>CR: Just hit the ogre again.
[10,5+11]=26
I almost forgot their special involves the bloodied value.
Leaving your hitpoints low to avoid their self-destruct maneuver? Ballsy.
You smash the Ogre again for another 16 points of damage.
The fire prototyped enemies slowly advance toward you, and the meteor ogre advances it's fist toward you. It's might is not matched by the accuracy guiding it, and you dodge out of the way again.

You get over-excited as you attack your foe, and make a GRAVE BLUNDER, slipping on a slick patch of the floor! Your enemy attempts to take advantage of the situation, but even flat footed and a little stunned, your agility outmatches him.
He tries again, but doesn't manage to hit you. Must be because that mace he's swinging around is so heavy.
The training dummy imp moves to where he can get at you, and attacks, and hits, dealing 5 damage to you.
(http://tnypic.net/9a234.png)
Well, the latest brand of imps has become almost completely ineffective since the level jump. Soon, you'll be dealing with imp mobbers. Fun times. Ogres will also probably, for the most part, start getting phased out as adversaries, because damn if you people don't clean them up.
Plus, they don't give good enough boondollar gains except in vast numbers.

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.

I suppose that's true. I'd personally rather keep my hp really high, in case of lucky rolls from the opposition.
You crack the Ogre across the shins, dealing another 11 points of damage.
The other two enemies advance on your position as the meteor Ogre attacks, but misses once again.
Also, I figure, for the most part, this fight is over, and you are not in danger of getting killed or being forced to abscond. Since at this point, it won't affect your performance much, I have to ask- Why are you not throwing enemies down into the hole to their certain death?

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.
Thanks! I'd get really bored typing out "You take 5 damage. The Ogre misses. You make your ability check", and if any game is going to support puns, it's Homestuck.
Oh, yeah, I choose Sprite Amulet for the common dex.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather make your alchemy items first? Also, you need to pick a common card for 5th level also.
I have a plot flash bouncing around in my skull, which is seriously hampered by the fact that I don't know how to do flash. I might just do it image based, with spoilers on each of the images pointing out what part of the song you're supposed to open the spoiler at, but that seems annoying.

1. Got it.
2. Okay.
3. If you wouldn't mind making them, I'd love for you to do a couple of the images, especially because I don't have a ton of confidence in my own artistic ability, especially with my scanner still on the fritz. Thing's pretty much dead. Of course, you'd have to not mind being spoiled about future plot. Though I'm not sure how obvious my coming 'twist' is.
4. This is definitely doable live, but if you do, I suggest finding a way to get the players together early on. Slower moving play-by post lends itself well to the 'canon' homestuck formula of NOBODY MEETS IN PERSON EVAR, but in person or in a group in a chatroom or using maptools (which I've never actually used and, really, have only a vague idea about), it would probably lead to bored players while one person hogs the limelight. It works fine for smaller groups, I don't know how many people you were planning on. I've been meaning to get a Steam account, everyone around here has one.
Also, I'm going to have to bow out in this case. I just started going back to college, and I'm having a bit of a rough start, plus I'm in 3 active games, one of which I run. Otherwise I would in a heartbeat. I love this system.
Unless of course, you aren't starting it for a few weeks or so. I'll be up to speed in my class fairly soon (I hope), and might be able to make time, depending on when you want to run. Fair warning, my internet is still shit, so I'll be dropping in and out of the session.
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.

You can pick cards from your level and under. So CROCODILE WARRIOR it is!

You start poking around, and looking for alchemy equipment. You also keep an eye out for clues as to who's house you are in, and spot a few books about were-creatures.
I think kicking out BD will be really hard, considering this is a closed system where we just can't go to the Tavern to pick up a New Player, and hes already a big part of Mikheal's character plot.
He's involved with Steve and Mimi's too. He's passing out Spade relationships like cheap cigars. DB isn't getting booted unless he says he wants out, or doesn't respond to several pms in a row, if his profile page reports him being on since they were sent. This goes for everybody.

You take another crack at the crystal formation, and finally manage to fracture off a large chunk of crystal. It doesn't stop glowing, so presumably it should keep you well illuminated as you traverse through the cave.

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.
Same goes for just about anything that has 'collectible traits' - but you can only wield 1 weapon at a time, and only wear 1 armor 'set' at a time. Items don't usually have collectible powers unless they're ones from the common 'dex.
Also yeah we have a shitton of gates. Just as many as the GM needs to either have us win or totally screw our stuff up.

You return to your Second Gate. Mercifully, there are no enemies around. You do spot a scrap of paper on the ground however. It's written in bright yellow colored pencil, but it's on red construction paper, so its at least semi-legible. Or it would be, if the mystery note leaver had decent handwriting. You manage to get most of the message through a combination of careful reading and situational guessing.

You can only flush and re-draw after a Strife, Scrutiny, or Level-up!
And I think you should be able to make that smokebomb you designed (and I added to the OP) without the punch designix. Remember, you don't actually have to have any items to make most alchemy. Exceptions include Regisword and LPOS powers, as well as anything made with ILLEGAL CONTRABAND.
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.
Theros is entirely right, once you draw a weapon, armor, or communication device (which seem to be the only collectible common cards, I'm probably wrong, don't tell me), you keep them forever, unless shenanigans happen, such as you pulverizing said item in a punch designix, or get killed and leave all your shit laying around someplace.
Also, yes, we do have an absurd amount of gates. 8 above each players house, and then 8 on each land. 8x8x8 equals... a lot, and I'm not digging up my calculator program to find out the exact number since, strictly speaking, it just isn't that important.

The gates on a players land actually primarily lead to gates to other player's homes. A player can hop through one of their gates, go through a gate to another players home, go through a gate above their house to reach their land, than go through another gate to get to another players home etc.

You strut heroically into the darkness. Or, it would be darkness, had you not had the foresight to smash a chunk of glowing crystal and carry it around like a torch. You still here scuffling feet somewhere, but beyond 'not too close', you can't judge how far very well because the cave produces echoes.

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.
I'm going to make Guardians exactly as powerful as the plot needs them to be. Except for Mikhael's, who is a sprite and gets an actual statblock. Also, if anyone has particular subplots in mind for their guardians, or even just general ideas, give em up. I want them to be more involved, and I'm taking steps with Al's bro already.

RL: Check the left path just to see what's over there.
You take a quick gander down the left path. Whatever it is that is supposed to be there, you can't see it from where you are. The path has at least one bend in it, and the foliage is thick.
As you gander, you feel the right leg of your pants being tugged at. The little snake is biting your pantleg.

RL: Talk to the snake and see what it has to say about this. See if it knows what's past each of the paths.
You ask the snake, and it quickly informs you that it requires your assistance on the right path. Apparently, many of the trees this snake relies on for food and shade have been killed.
Upon further questioning, the snake reveals that it has no knowledge of what may lay on the path to the left. It does not normally travel far from home.

Continue the westward march! Shout challanges at the darkness in the most manly manner. [\b]
You move another six spaces west, shouting taunts and dares all the way. Soon, an imp appears at the very edge of your light, and you see a sword prototyped imp heading your way from the south.
(http://tnypic.net/025b4.png)
RL: Go help the snake, you can always just go left later.
You follow the snake, who leads you to a clearing. Well, sort of a clearing. It's filled with stumps, mostly, so not very clear, and there are a few trees standing there. But they're obviously dead, withered like raisins, all the leaves dead and gone. Even the massive snakes that hang from the branches of trees throughout your land lay on the ground, decomposing in the humid air.
It's horrible.
A larger version of the snake who brought you here slithers toward you, followed by a sweaty looking prospitian. You notice that a few stumps have been uprooted, allowing the land to be seeded once again.

You've tried GK and DB, and if they can't help, what hope was there for any of the others?

Scourge Charge that KNIGHT Imp

You charge at the sword prototyped imp and cave in its skull with your bat. Grist showers down on you.
Another training dummy imp emerges from the shadows, and both of them advance upon you.
(http://tnypic.net/06c37.png)
RL: Explore. Let's find these guy a new home, and get away from this stinking ruin. Go see if the left path is a suitable place.
You decide that the left path might be the better place to go right now. You tell the snakes you'll go see if the area down the left path is a better fit.
Note: If I messed that up, let me know. It can be redacted.
>Alex: Land.
You burst out through gate number 2 above Danielle's house, and emerge in a dark, sweaty jungle. This is almost as bad LoPaV! Sure, it's cooler here, but at least on LoPaV it was a dry heat. Suddenly, your jetpack gives out, and you tumble to the ground, smacking into a tree. I guess you can only go so far before it needs to recharge? Whatever.
Pesterchum is up and running for me. And in true Trollin style, the second I have my account up I'm pestered by someone.

You charge at the oncoming training dummy and tackle it, bat-first, blowing it apart. Amazingly, his comrade advances on you, swiping at you with its claws. You grab the hapless imp by the wrist and stare into its eyes. You see fear.

This sort of behavior is the reason their are tougher imps available in the pdf.
Ug. I can't get cards because US Government took down Megaupload, where I could get the cards.

You go farther to the west, and quickly realize that the cave is tapering to a point. You hope it's an exit point.
Ahead, you see a light coming up from the ground. Unlike the other sparse lighting around here, which is more of a bright, light pink, this is a deep red. Curious.

A little. Insight generally deals with hassling NPCs or Player Characters who are lying through their teeth.
You walk over to the glow. You find a hole in the floor of the cave, which apparently leads down into a body of water. Or a well, whatever. The glow would appear to be coming from a return node, which could be as far as 50 feet down.
You then notice a miniaturized rebreather on a small pedestal near the pool. It's easier to see, now that you're close by with your glowing crystal chunk.

You take a quick glance around. This is a dead end, apart from the hole, and unless you are a geology major, incredibly uninteresting. You swipe the rebreather, and dive into the pool. The water is warm (but not that warm), and it quickly becomes apparent that you were in some sort of undersea cavern. You're in the middle of the Ocean!

You start swinging on awfully convenient vines through the forest, after telling the snakes to wait here. Since you don't have to worry about enemies trying to claw you to death for once, it's a relatively risk free endeavor.
This, unfortunately, does not keep Alex from lagging behind as he struggles to nerve up to swing from tree to tree after you. Dude's a wuss.
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?
You look around as best you can, but the rebreather didn't come with goggles. As best you can tell, the water is more or less empty, except for just above you, where there is an underwater cave.
It occurs to you that water ought to be salty, but this doesn't seem to be the case. You chalk it up to bizarre planetoid behavior.

Extra Damage does not count as a normal modifier, so it is exempt from that condition. Your items were added to the OP. Also, everyone except DB has a fresh hand. Actually, scratch that, I might not have done CR's at the time of this posting, in which case, I'll add that soon.

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.
John's right about this. You can make as many items as you like, provided you spend the points. This is sound practice at later levels, as at level 6, dropping your level minus two points or more creates a Rare card, which have special and somewhat impractical rules. They can be hugely powerful though, so the choice is yours.
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 benefits, I'm going to put that to 1 point back instead of 2.

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.

Don't insult my intelligence please. You wouldn't take it if it were purely negative without good reason. Well, besides looking badass on a sky-bike. Never a bad reason for that.
All negative traits, like this one, give a trade-off for the opportunity to place more points in other traits. And I don't think disallowing melee weapons is enough to give up for two points, especially considering said vehicle is more than likely going to be used to hover out of enemy reach to shoot them in any case.

You legitimately enter the gate, and appear a stone's throw from a potentially bottomless chasm. Of course, that isn't particularly descriptive on your world. Bridges and Chasms are kind of a thing here. You haven't seen much change yet, apart from the bridges changing the destinations of the uninitiated.
Where will you go? Your map has clearly marked locations for each of the return nodes, and the drop-off points for six of the gates above your house. The two at the top are strangely un-marked... In addition to the return nodes, their are a few other marked locations, including a few small villages, and a temple. Dedicated to frogs, if the map is any indication. Weird.
>Get some dry clothes on, Really.
You swap out for some fresh duds. Honestly, couldn't you have been dropped off in your bathroom? At least then, you wouldn't have soaked your floor. That's bad for the carpet, or some crap.
You just barely finish re-dressing yourself before a small squad of imps burst into your room, followed by a menacing looking black figure wielding an eastern blade.
You ready yourself for battle, but then suddenly the black figure dispatches the imps. He gestures wordlessly to the imps, and sheathes his sword.
Just what the hell is going on here?
RL: Slow down and wait for Alex. Conveniently happen upon exactly what you were looking for. Or some imps. Whichever works.
You decide to wait a bit for Alex to catch up, and slow your pace afterwards. Not everyone was raised by a nutjob with a royalty complex and an obsession with halberds.
...Yeah, you don't really feel like thinking about Guard too much this minute.
Alex finally catches up, and the two of you set forth again. You keep an eye out for plots of land for your snake friends to stake out. Unfortunately, judging from the amount of upturned snake eyes (heheh), this area is already dangerously populated.
All at once, the treeline gets ugly as hell, and you run out of vines to swing on. It's the same shriveling phenomena as before. Alex quickly begins inspecting some of the desiccated lumber.

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.
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.

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.
Then again, maybe the bonus-damage-depending-on-attack-roll thing is newer, since I had to redownload the manual somewhat recently.

Bladedmeleekind weapons do about the same amount as finessekind on average. Precisionmeleekind has the dubious distinction of having a 50/50 shot at doing more, by a fairly small amount, or less, by a fairly small amount. It's just a bit more random and inconsistent than bladedmeleekind.

Trust me. I'm in a 4th Ed game where our GM runs from modules, and he doesn't nerf encounters for us despite the fact that the current module we are on is 3 levels higher than we are. We struggle to hit anything, let alone kill it, despite the fact that our party is a whopping 7 adventurers versus the module being written to accommodate 5.
I haven't played that game in a while (which really sucks, I do enjoy that game, and it spawned one of my all time favorite characters), but I haven't forgotten those unbeatable encounters. In the most extreme example, we were nearly TPK'd in 2 turns. I unloaded all my dailies in the 2nd, then grabbed our paladin, who had less than a quarter of his health, and ran our asses out of there. Didn't kill one enemy. If we had, we'd have rested and taken out the other creature in the room.
Kind of went on a rant there, but what I'm trying to say is this: There is a very, very thin line between enemies who can't touch you, and you getting thrashed without getting so much as an attack in. Example: That fight with HB I didn't actually expect you to start. Ah, memories.
As for the item power, I'm still going to say no. We don't have any recurring enemies, at least right this minute, so it's kind of a pointless restriction. Besides, all items are encounter use only, you wouldn't be able to use it more than once per fight.

The two of you start making your way across the land, crossing bridges as you go. The temple isn't ridiculously far from where the second gate dropped you off, but it is still a bit of a trek.
Of course, on the way, you encounter resistance.

Since I'm probably going first I'll dash to the start of the bridge, and wait to see what the basilisk does.
Steve moves forward, waiting by his end of the bridge, to see what the basilisk would do.
Mimi, having truly seen what these creatures are capable of, steps forward and shoots to kill. The Basilisk withdraws into it's armored pads, nullifying all but 4 points of damage.
The imps on the far cliff mill around, but the closest one creeps forward.
The Fire Basilisk also creeps forward, and throws a blast of fire at Mimi and Steve. Both heroes dodge handily.
The Training Basilisk emerges from it's protective covering, and shoots Mimi a look. She quickly looks away.

Alright then.
Danielle grabs onto another vine, and swings for the next tree. It pulls taut as she reaches the low end of the swing, and the branch supporting it snaps like a matchstick. She hits the ground with a heavy thump, and is stunned and dazed.
"OH SHOOT! HANG ON RL, I'M A-COMING!" Alex jumps down to the forest floor, and, being prepared for it, only mildly injures himself. He whines to himself a little as he limp-hops to Danielle's side. "ARE YOU OKAY? YOU AREN'T HURT ARE YOU? I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SOME VITALITY GEL SOMEWHERE IN MY SYLLADEX."

Wait, you're running to the other end of the bridge and holding your attack? What's the trigger?
Might want to specifically move out of the way of the crossbow, then.
Alternatively, you could move a step to the left and be well out of the way of hitting him. You do go later in turn order.

Fair enough.
Steve dashes across the bridge, ready to drop some hardcore science on the basilisk should it engage him.
Mimi steps to the right, lines up her crossbow, and shoots the basilisk right in the eye. It takes 24 damage, and roars in pain.
The bulk of the imps do nothing, as before, but the lone imp moves closer to Steve.
The Fire Basilisk does as well, but hangs back, and shoots a disconcerting Ogle at Mimi. It seems she's learned what to look for though, and blinks at the appropriate time.
The Training basilisk thrashes around a bit, then charges at Steve with murder in its one good eye.
Steve was prepared however, and swings mightily. So mightily, in fact, that when he misses he pulls himself of his feet and onto his ass. Whoops. (Grave Blunder!) He takes 3 damage and grants combat advantage to the basilisk.
The basilisk makes good use of it and bites Steve, who takes another 9 damage.

Steve jumps back into the fight, and an impressive jump it is. He batters the basilisk, dealing 40 points of damage, and jumping back a square onto the bridge.
Mimi squeezes off another bolt, putting the basilisk out of its concussed misery.
The majority of the fire imps continue to hold their position. Whatever it is they are doing back there, it must be important.
One of them however, gets all up in Steve's face, and claws at him for 6 points of damage.
The Fire basilisk also closes range with Steve, but is not so lucky with it's attack.

Steve kills the fire imp, and hits the basilisk for 14 damage, holding it in place. He also take 2 damage from starting his turn in a fire.
Mimi opens fire, dealing 31 damage and shoving the basilisk bodily two spaces.
The remaining fire imps realize that the basilisk is in trouble, and start rushing across the bridge to aid it.
The basilisk, now out of range to attack, and missing it's ranged aggrievements, makes angry faces at the both of you.

When last we checked in with Brian, he was investigating the ruin of a pony town in his land. I hope he shows up again relatively soon. I might put him on auto if he doesn't return, but I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Anyway. You get up from your computer and decide that the best thing to do right now would more than likely be to waste a bunch of bastards on the off chance that, otherwise, they'd get the drop on your friends. That'd be a bad thing.
To your amazement, however, the place seems clear from the last time you cleaned house.
Re-drew your hand, now that your alchemy is done. Unfortunately, you failed all three pre-rolls, so no personal cards this time. Sprite Amulet, Sapphire Contraband, and Hands Free Computing.

OOC: Quick note. Yes, this is the area that was supposedly destined for art. As for said art, no, I'm not going to put it up, for a couple of reasons. First and foremost because it isn't done, and as much as Mikhael needs to catch up to the timeline respective to Danielle and Alex, (considering the Elder Gods sent him after the latter), I don't want to delay this. I've been watching it play out in my mind like a movie over and over again, and I wanna make it happen, dammit. Plus, Mikhael is going to seek revenge on HB rather than go after Alex, and that'll take time anyway.
As for the second, only slightly less valid reason: I'm not much of an artist. I can't command a brush or mouse like some other people can. But... I do have a certain way with words. This is not boast. It is a statement of truth. At the very least, I write better than I draw. And that is reason enough to paint you a portrait with words.
Let's have a cutscene.
>Escalate.
"I DON'T KNOW. BUT I DON'T LIKE IT."
Alex and Danielle continue following the trail, and eventually, they see a clearing beyond the withered trees. Alex moves forward, and a voice drifts into earshot.
"...crimes against the Kingdom of Derse are as follows. Assaulting a Dersite Officer. Interfering with a Dersite Operation. Eleven counts of Murde-"
"SELF DEFENSE." A voice comes out from the crowd, and as Alex (and presumably Danielle) clear the treeline, a man is visible on a stage that is ringed with purple curtains. A man wearing jeans, a red flannel shirt, suspenders, and a pair of handcuffs. His voice is weak, but still carries. A crowd of black carapaced people watch.
"BRO?" Alex's voice quivers in fear. The crowd doesn't seem to hear.
The Dersite strikes him. "You will not speak until you are allowed." The agent returns to the scroll he is reading from. "11 counts of murder. Conspiring with the enemies of Derse."
"THOSE SNAKES AREN'T INTERESTED IN WAR WITH YOU." He is struck again, falling to the floor of the stage.
"Silence." The voice of the Agent is cold, uncaring. "By the order of her Majesty, you will pay the steepest penalty, and as Arch Agent, I am to oversee this. Put him on the block." A pair of imps grab the man beneath his shoulders, and shove his neck onto a scarred wooden block, the man's face on display. Beaten and bruised, but reminiscent of a certain Lumberjack in training.
Alex begins to stumble forward, an impossible fear filling his heart. Not now. Not after everything else.
"You have one last sentence. Go." The Archagent motions to an Ogre wielding a tremendous headsman's axe. The Ogre lifts it.
"BRO!"
"ALEX? WHAT ARE YOU DOI-"
The agent lowers his hand, and the axe lowers with it.
The crowd cheers.
Alex freezes.
"Guards. We have guests." The crowd turns to face Alex and Daniel. "Kill them too."

Danielle stands frozen in place. She readies her weapon, and stands still. Out of the corner of her eye, she can see Alex shaking.
Alex: Come to terms with your fear in the worst possible manner.
You hate this game. You haven't said anything up until now, but you hate, hate, hate this game. From the second the meteors set your house on fire, it's been near constant terror for you. You've been forced to fight for your life, when you never intended to actually use your strife specibus against someone else, ever.
Your parents are probably dead. You figured this out not long after you entered. You tried to hold it in. Your Brother was still with you, after all. But now he's gone. He wanted to save you. He wanted to deal with this game's bullshit all by himself.
You've nearly died twice, because of these people. No... Not people. People couldn't control monsters. People wouldn't suck this forest dry, and kill your brother for protecting a bunch of goddamn snakes. They aren't any better than any of these imps, even if they actually talk. They are worse. Their words kill.
You remove your freshly minted axe from your strife specibus. You don't feel anything from the axe this time. The axe just looks scary. That rage, that power... It comes from you. And you will set it loose.
>Alex: Make Them Pay.
Alex has entered Murder Mode and cannot respond to any commands besides ==> and RAGETECHS.
==>
With a scream of rage, Alex leaps forward at an advancing formation of dersites. His movements are fast enough to be mistaken for instantaneous. 4 heads rise from their shoulders, no longer tethered by bone or sinew. An ogre strikes him, but Alex remains completely unfazed, cleaving the hulking enemy in half in an instant.
What follows cannot be called a battle. It is slaughter.
Dersites scatter in the Mage's wake. Some escape. Most do not. The Arch Agent on the stage barks into a radio, drawing his knife. He isn't going down to this punk kid, that's for sure.
Alone in the field, Alex turns to the stage, spotting the Arch Agent. With a roar of inhuman rage, he leaps up, landing between his brother's body and the agent.
The Agent turns, intent on gutting the child, as a dersite helicopter closes in. He thrusts.
The Mage catches his wrist, and twists, tearing the arm out. The Agent swears.
LEVEL 13 RAGETECH: SOMETHIN' IN YOUR EYE, PAL.
Alex retrieves the knife from the Arch Agent's hand, and returns it to him. Straight in his eye.
>Kaminasprite: Do something! Alex is out of control!
"Danielle, stay here! I gotta knock some sense into Alex."
Kaminasprite flies toward Alex as he raises his axe to finish Jack off. "ALEX! You need to snap out of it!" The mighty Kaminasprite clenches his fist, throwing his entire body into the hit.
Alex takes it on the cheek, and seems to take the first visible damage from any attack on him thus far. Then, taking no notice of the flames surrounding his sprite, he grabs Kamina by the throat, and throws him straight through the floor of the stage. The construction collapses, as the Arch Agent is airlifted out of the battle by the helicopter.
Now, bereft of opponents, or rather victims, Alex raises his face to the sky, and screams, raging with every fiber of his being. He won't stop here, not like this.
OOC: There's a way out of this. Just going to put that out there, and then not give any more hints at all.

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.

You do feel bad about talking to her like that, but things need to be done. You've worked too long and hard for things to play out this way again. You just hope she approaches this the right way. She can be... blunt. You watch, hoping she'll deal with this situation delicately.
Thirty seconds later, you realize you are extremely out of touch with these people.
==>
Alex pauses in his screaming and yelling to listen to your speech, but when you finish, he growls and draws his fist back.
...And then does nothing. He keeps grunting and breathing heavily, but apart from looking like someone who'd kill in an instant, he does nothing. Just stands there, staring at you, his whole body shaking, one arm stretched behind him, his fest clenched. Actually... You're pretty sure the inside of his hand is bleeding. There's more blood dripping off his hand than there was a second ago. It doesn't look like it's slowing down.
In any case, whatever you were supposed to do to get shit un-flipped... That wasn't it. At least you didn't make the situation worse.
OOC: Okay, with Windows 7, it is tricky as hell to find your logs. At least I know where the heck they are now.

Eh, it'd be way less impressive had I actually run an encounter. What you all are experiencing is a phenomenon known as cutscene power to the max.
Yeah, it sure followed you in alright. You carefully scoop Malcolm out of the water, and press it against the sprite. One flash of light later, and your cardsprite now has fish face. It also seems to be swapping between faces less frequently now.

Mimi and Steve enter the temple. The layout is different from the temple on Steve's Land, but the construction appears to be rather similar. Strange writing adorns the walls, in a language you don't understand.
While you are looking around, Steve finds a hidden door.

For the record, you roll 2d10 and add your init modifier.
You got an 18 this time, which beats HB's 15.
>Mikheal: Do what you do best. Blast that smug bastard's face off his head.
7 + 6 = 13 + 2 = 15
After that move Mikheal as many squares forward as possible.
Also, you did your attack roll wrong. You need to add your modifiers (Applicable stat, level, and precision bonus) Not sure what that +2 is, so I redid it off your base roll, and it comes out to 1 from prec, 3 from stat (I'm assuming you linked it IMG), and 5 from level. Plus your roll of 13, so 22. Which is a hit.
Your shot deals 15 damage. Since his head didn't come off like you'd hoped, you charge him down.
He responds in kind by meeting you mid charge, and swings a massive, burly fist at you. You duck under it, ready to take him down.

Wait... What?
Alright, let's back up here.
Things you roll:
1. Initiative
2. Attack rolls
3. Active skill checks
Things I roll
1. Everything you roll for your character, but for NPCs.
2. Damage rolls
3. Brutal Affront confirmations
4. Passive skill checks
5. alchemy pre-rolls
6. The dice I use to pick your people's card because if I printed out all those cards I'd just lose them.
You roll two 2d10 and add the result when you make an attack roll, and any doubles allow you to pursue a possible brutal affront. Then you add modifiers to determine your final attack roll.
What were you rolling if not your attack roll where you got two 9s, then a bunch of modifiers? I'm confused.
How is rolling two 9's plus bonuses not "rolling doubles"? You're being unclear here.
This.

No, no, it's like monopoly. Whenever they show the same number, even if it's a couple of 1s.
You roll behind your enemy, and come up behind him, slashing him all the way up his back. You deal 31 points of damage to him, and the pain is going to give him trouble when he attacks back.
He swings another mighty fist at you, but you sidestep the hamstrung attack easily.

You slash at HB with your sword again, carving him up for 24 damage.
He yells in agony, and decides enough is enough. He'll walk down this goddamn mountain, you're a pest, and you're going down. He takes and Elite Action, and punches you in the face so hard your vision quits. He delivers a vicious pummeling to you while you can't see, giving him combat advantage.
You are blinded, and will remain so until you make your save, which you start trying for at the end of your next turn. You have 17 hit points remaining, and your second wind. Good news is, he can only do that eat your eyeballs move once per encounter, same with that Elite Action take two standard actions in one turn thing.

Here's what I came up with. I mixed and matched a couple different procedures, and increased MGT a little more just for good measure (to bring the slew of actions it has up to +7 each). It may be overpowered, but I'm not sure. We'd have to see via combat.
Four-armed Colossus
Large Level 6 Solo Brute (Prototypable)
HP 340 (Bloodied 170)
AC 18 Fort 22 Ref 18 Will 21
+5 to saving throws
Speed 6, Initiative +2, Perception +1
Crushingkind - (Standard action, At-will, Basic attack) +7 vs. AC. Hit: 2d8+4
Arm Whirlwind - (Standard action, Recharge |6|) Close Burst 2, Target: Each enemy in burst. +7 vs. Fortitude. Hit: 1d8+5 damage and you slide the targets up to 3 spaces.
Body Slam - (Standard action, At-will) Close Burst 1, Target: Each enemy in burst. +7 vs. AC. Hit: 1d8+4 damage.
Channel Derse - (Minor action, Encounter) The Four-armed colossus may recharge an Encounter power gained from prototyping.
Prototyping powers: If the Four-armed Colossus gains an attack power from prototyping, it may change the range of that power to Close Burst 2.
MGT 24 Acu 11 Img 10 Pul 16
EDIT: I removed the regaining its bloodied value in HP. Unless Blade thinks that would work balance-wise, nearly 500 HP might be a bit much when we're doing maybe 20 damage on average with our basic attacks.

You strike another blow at your enemy, dealing 19 damage.
HB decides that discretion is the better part of valor, and steps away from you, and pulls a safe out of thin air. Before you have to time to think about where he keeps those, he throws it, and you catch it straight in the chest. The attack knocks you flat on your ass, and you're pinned beneath a safe again. Honestly. You also take 19 damage. You must make your saving throw before standing again, which is a move action. You have 24 hit points remaining.

That's fine.
You show DA the crystal, and he says that it is indeed what they are after, though you have a rather small sample. He also confesses he has no rebreather, so following you is going to be a problem. A really big one, since you don't see your house from here, and can only swim so far.

You fly out of Alex's tower, and look up, to get a closer look at Skaia. The eclipse is winding down for now, but you catch a glimpse of something in the clouds. A cave, with what looks like a bomb planted against the wall.
You have no idea what that could possibly mean.
>Blade: Be ninja'd. Don't realize it until Theros posts.
Frig. Double Ninja all the way.
RL: Go straight until you find a path, then follow that. Screw the map.
You quickly find yourself on a path, and decide to abandon the map altogether. As you drag Alex along behind you, you hear a thump and an 'OW!'
Alex: Wake.
You're up, you're up! You'd think she could have at least avoided rocks. You take a quick glance around. You aren't in the clearing anymore. Where's Kaminasprite? And Bro? You need to go back for them!

IT KEEPS HAPPENING!
You take a look at Mimi's map. Unfortunately, it only seems to cover her own Land! That's not as useful as you would have liked.
PA: Ask Babesprite if he could create some type of air bubble thing, Or even teleport back to the house to make another rebreather.
The babe nods, and speeds off. This'll probably take a little bit.
RL: I got one of those other guys to take care of it - I think he was RA? - he'll probably send Kaminasprite after us and... uh... take care of your bro.
RL: He'll know what to do, I can't explain why but he will.
RL: But for now, we should focus on getting the hell through this game.
RL: And meeting up with the others, because I, for one, don't want to run into a ton of guards again without some more backup.
Just as you finish saying this, Kaminasprite comes into view. He looks a little winded, but otherwise none the worse for wear. He's carrying Alex's brother.
Kaminasprite: Hey Alex. I brought your brother. You better believe we're gonna get the guy that did this to him. And here, there was a note.
>Alex: Read the note.
The note reads as follows.
Dear Alex,
You have my deepest sympathies. I knew your brother well, and he was a good man who loved you very, very much. I'm going to finish what he started here in this forest. You go with Danielle, and win this game. Godspeed.
RA.
You crush the note in your hand, and your face sets in determination. You have a job to do.
"KAMINA, I NEED YOU TO TAKE BRO BACK TO THE HOUSE. BURY HIM. AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THAT, I THINK DANIELLE'S GUARD STILL NEEDS TO BE BURIED TOO. I'LL CALL YOU IF SOMETHING COMES UP."
Kaminasprite nods, and after giving Alex a moment to say his final goodbyes to his Bro, flies off. Alex turns back to Danielle.
"KM THINKS WE SHOULD MEET UP TOO. I MET HER WHILE I WAS ASLEEP. DO YOU KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO?"

Chillax with DA then, Watch for any turtles.
You hang out on the island, waiting for babe to return. DA offers no conversation, and no turtles show up.
Some time later, Babesprite returns, with the two rebreathers. He returns yours, and hands the other to DA. Now you can finally get crackin'!
RL: Not a damn clue.
RL: Unless you can read the damn map...
AL: MAP?
Alex takes the smartphone and looks at the image.
AL: WOW, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? IT SHOWS YOU WHAT GATES LEAD WHERE AND EVERYTHING!
Alex takes a look around, pulls out his rocketpack, shoots fifteen feet into the air, then comes back down, and hands Danielle her phone back, after indicating one spot on it.
AL: I THINK WE'RE HERE. WHICH MEANS, TO GET CLAIRE'S HOUSE, WHERE MIMI IS, WE NEED TO GO THAT WAY.

>Steve: Go for a quick swim in the ocean to look for gates.
You dive out back into the ocean, and swim around underwater, looking for tell-tale signs of a gate. You don't spot anything though. To be fair, they probably wouldn't be so close to the house, and you can only stay underwater so long.
Man, if only you had a re-breather. You'd be able to go a lot farther down.
THANKS BABE. Put those Breathers in and lets DIVE. (Baby)
Damn it's a good thing you have these re-breathers so you can go as deep as you want into the ocean! DA follows you, and you both are now able to explore this ocean at your leisure.
You see a reef in the distance on the Ocean floor, and also what looks like a building farther away. Nothing much in the other direction, at least that you can see from here.

You swim toward the reef. As you get closer, you think you might see something swimming about. You motion for DA to make himself scarce, and he hides behind a large crystal.
You approach the reef, and a turtle swims forward to meet you.
"Greetings child. I don't mean to alarm you, but are you aware that a Dersite is among your company?"
RL: Go that way!
You both strike out for the Gate. You soon find yourselves at the base of a tree, with a shining gate just above the last leaves at the top.

RL: CLIMB
You perform a successful athletics check, and begin climbing your way up the tree. Alex just watches you shimmy up until you're about halfway, then pulls out his rocketpack and blasts up to the top, where he waits for you to finish climbing.
>Mimi: Head back to tower. Examine walls of room before attempting to wake up.
You fly back to your room, but don't see anything on your walls. Unlike Alex's walls, yours aren't completely jacked up. Just golden wallpaper.
> Claire: Go sleep with Mimi.

Everyone else cozies up on ye olde laundry pile. Claire and Steve soon awaken on Prospit.

Also how much time has elapsed in-game?
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK TROY IS STRONG!
"This a Land of Oceans and Diamonds. There is much I can tell you. Very, very much. What is it you would like to know?"
When I put it as an Immediate Interrupt, I thought I would have the ability to activate it upon an Immediate Interrupt. What I didn't know nor could know is that it had to be in my hand first. The way the rulebook said it, I thought all items were at the ready to be used. You HAVE to remember that a lot of us have never played D&D, and unfamilar with its rules.
In which case, the shield's worth is pretty jack shit. How I suppost to know if the enemy is going to throw a powerful attack at me so I can take it out?i think we've been in the game for about 4 or 5 hours.I think its been more like around one hour from my perspective. In any case, only 299 or so hours to go!
You were down on LoCaC for at least an hour alone. Probably longer. But yes, Mikhael is a little chronologically misplaced in relation to everyone else.
As for your item, that's why it's more effective than passive traits on weapons and armor, because you don't always have access to it, and when you do, it is available only once per battle.
Since this apparently something I need to go over, let's take Sylladex use from the top. I went over the sylladex rules just before typing this up, so there will be no miscommunications over what the rules are.
Drawing Cards:
You can draw after a strife, scrutiny, or alchemization session. These are the only times you can re-draw that will normally come up. I will operate under the assumption that you will choose to flush your entire hand after every encounter. If you want to mark certain cards that you wish to keep, I will not flush them at the end of the encounter automatically. When you draw, you can discard either 1 card you haven't used, or your entire hand. Obviously, if you choose to retain certain cards in your hand, I won't be able to flush the whole hand unless you've used at least one of the other cards (for now, since you all currently have a hand size of 3), and I'll ask which one you wish to flush.
When you use a common card, you can either choose to hang onto it, if it is green, or throw it back into the deck. Yellow commons always return to the deck once used.
An uncommon card (Read: Every card in your personal sylladex at this moment), once used, can either be discarded, or you can attempt to keep them. If I roll a 5 or better on your attempt to keep the card, you have it for your next encounter, and won't draw for that hand space.
Rare cards (Note: Even though these can start showing up next level, I kind of doubt it will happen.) which are insanely powerful, are not discarded once used. Instead, they are flipped face-down, and become Void cards. They can't be discarded through normal means, and they do nothing.
As for using active card powers: If you don't have the card in your hand, you can not use it. Hope this makes things clearer.

You wake up and realize your face is not covered! This is a serious violation of ninja protocol. You grab your bedsheets, and quickly tear off some cloth to repurpose as a mask. Much better.

"There is, as a matter of fact. It lies further in that direction." The turtle waves a fin in the direction past the reef, at what you'd suspected was a building. It is said that only the savior of the land can access it, however."
RL: Show off.
You finish scampering up the tree. It's pretty impressive. Alex looks up at the gate.
"OKAY, LET'S GET GOING. DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST, OR SHOULD I?"
>Mikheal: Attempt to hold the Safe up for a few moments with your sheer WILLPOWER as a shield.
Defensive Action, then saving throw.
You cannot hold up the safe, as it has already been used to plant you firmly on your ass.
You decide to focus on defending yourself while you try to lever the safe off of you. It's tough going though. This one is bigger than the last one. You grunt and struggle but it goes nowhere.
Despite being briefly tempted to try finishing you off, HB decides to cut and run.
Also, Knightsprite swoops in out of nowhere. His timing is awful. Your enemy is getting away!
(http://tnypic.net/2807a.png)
> Claire: Head on down to the main planet.
You decide to try following the massive chain that connects the moon to Prospit. You'd like to see the main event.

You leap through the gate, and gravity gives you a moment to realize you've appeared with no ground beneath you before dropping you into a salty ocean.
Alex comes through a moment later, supported by his rocketpack.
"UH. OOPS."

You quickly swim to the nearest shore, cursing all the way, Alex hovering behind you. Once the two of you have made landing on the beach, he stows his rocketpack in his sylladex. No other kids are anywhere to be seen.
"MAYBE THEY LEFT WITHOUT US?"
"why that s00unds right up my alley for adventure. thank y00u very much f00r this inf00rmation. if there is anything I c00uld do in return f00r y00u please find me.
If Ms. Turtle doesnt say anything head off towards them ruins for ADVENTURE.

Nope. Party's at Claire's place.

You decide to glide down and walk these mean streets. A cursory inspection of the area tells you that there are no people here. Or, if they are, they are hiding from you, but your ninja stealth senses don't seem to indicate that possibility.
Frog-Stroke into the Frog Temple. Make sure DA is with me.
You facepalm, though the motion is ruined somewhat by the water. Of course, you forgot DA! You swim back and get him.
Soon, you are swimming in front of the temple door again. You pull on the handle, and the door eventually slides open. The inside is both dark, and foreboding.

Oh dear Blade, your such a fucking kill-joy. I had planned for a very important event that helped explain when HB was on his legs, but your making him run away now. Also, Mikheal could have likely held up the safe for a few seconds.
BUT ANYWAY,
Mikheal: Taunt him about how much of a coward he must be, and shoot after him.
Okay, how about you go catch a flying 150 pound safe, and see how well you manage that. It's an attack effect anyway, you can't say, 'well, I caught it'. And I plan when and why NPC's do things. Not you.
You start shouting after him that he's a big fat coward, with emphasis on the big and fat. As he doesn't break stride, you pull your handcannon back out for another try. At least you have the floor to steady your shot. You nail him in the back for 16 points, but apart from an infuriated shout, it didn't seem to change the situation.
You manage to get your feet against the safe, and shove it off you with a mighty effort. Well, at least you can give chase.
Or maybe not. HB continues to book it, and rounds a corner. With better than 100 ft start on you, and you in that heavy armor, it's unlikely at best that you'll be able to catch up.
Knightsprite floats closer to you, apparently ready to receive orders.
Do you have your weapon sylladex aggrievement ready John or did you use that already? Might be the optimal option along with moving towards him.
>Mimi: Fly around Prospit with Claire. Look in windows to see if anyone's there.
You fly around Prospit proper. Unlike the moon, the planet proper is in a constant buzz of activity. Prospitians acknowledge you respectfully, and carry out their business. At least there's plenty of people to talk to.
Something seems horribly wrong. Where are all the people. There has to be a clue.
>Steve: Look for clues.
[10,9+16]=35 :o
You begin a mighty investigation, the likes of which even the great SHERLOCK HOLMES would have had to respect.
Which is to say you turn over trashcans and look through the contents.
You find a magazine dated several months ago, with the cover story being that all residents received a royal order to vacate the moon. Apparently, their was some prophecy that the 4 Princes of Derse would doom the kingdom.
Guess that explains that. Raises more questions though.
RL: Explore.
You figure there's nothing better to do at a time like this than explore your friend's home, so that is what you do. You quickly find 2 girls and a ninja all curled up in a pile of laundry.
Your scandal meter goes bananas.
Use the crystal to light dis joint up son.
EXPLORATIONTECH: HANDHELD RPG: EXAMINE EVERYTHING
You retrieve your crystal from your sylladex, and use it to light up the inside of the temple. Everything is covered in algae and mud, so there isn't much to see. Or at least, there wasn't before you got to touching everything.
Before long, the inside of the chamber is relatively clean. Your hands are disgusting though.
The main object of interest is a small pedestal, with a large, ornate lower growing out of the top. It has a timer, and it is winding down to 6 days from now.
Also, the walls are covered in what you assume to be writing. You don't recognize any of the lettering.

There's no better way to ingratiate yourself to people you're meeting for the first time than waking them up violently! So you do that.
You empty your lungs at the ladies and gentleman having a snooze. They wake in short order.
Claire, Mimi and Steve have all been halted in their investigations, and are now awake. Fun times!
>PA: See if you can INVESTIGATE the meaning of the writing or if DA can understand it.
Skaian Lore Check?
[5,10]+13=27
DA can only tell you that the language is something known as Ancient Skaian, not that there was ever a race of Skaians to make them. It's just that they've always been there. Not much else to call them.
You take a look at the characters, and are only able to deduce that 8 of them appear to be important, considering they are more elaborate than the rest, and occur in groups.
One of the 8 characters also shows up by itself. Next to a graphical representation of the flower-pedestal deal at the other end of the room.

Artifacts!
One quick note about that. The person's personal artifacts will not be on their own land. LH would have known that, so feel free to substitute in that information.
Mikheal: Realize that he just went into the room which your Uncle stays in when hes home, from which there is only one way in and out.
Mikheal: Corner him like a Rat and stamp him out. (Not before doing a Second Wind though)
You rub your hands together with malicious glee. You have him trapped. Trapped like a rat! Victory will soon be yours!
"MIKHAEL!"
Uh oh. You hear the voice of one of the Elder Gods reach your mind.
"YOUR QUEST FOR VEGEANCE HAS DOOMED YOU. BY THE TIME YOU REACH HIM, THE MAGE WILL HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL. CLEARLY, YOU WERE UNWORTHY OF OUR ATTENTIONS.
ENJOY YOUR DEATH- WE'VE NO DOUBT IT WILL COME SWIFTLY."
Well. That was ominous. But you have bigger fish to fry. Bigger, fatter, dumber fish that throw safes at you and gouge your eyes.
You start preparing yourself for the final encouner with HB when you hear a spectacular crash from your Uncle's room. When you enter, you find a hole in the wall far larger than your enemy. You look outside the hole, but that bastard's seems to have made good his escape.
If you had a hat, you'd throw it down in disgust.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on February 01, 2012, 10:20:41 pm
Oh right.
WE NEED A MEMO. Now or later. Not sure.
Yeah, I'd like the five of us present to try and be available either tomorrow or friday, after 8 pm eastern time. Because I should be on then. Saturday would, strictly speaking, be better, but that's a while to wait to have everyone shouting over each other.
Math homework terminated.
Just a heads-up, the good folks making the game we're playing decided to make some changes to the Mage class, in particular differentiating it from the Price. Most of the Mage characteristics are actually going to Prince, so I'll be doing a conversion over to the new style Mage. Works nicely thematically as well, since Alex just had a bit of a character building experience, and it changing the way he approaches a fight isn't far-fetched.

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.
>Mikheal: Foundly reguard puddle that was once enemy.
>Mikheal: Also ask Elder Gods as to how the hell did they expect him to eliminate the threat he didn't even know the identity of or have a way to get too in 5 or so minutes?

It's not like it goes house, sheer cliff, bottom of mountain. Just like John's house in Homestuck, there is an area of normal ground.
The reason HB didn't kill Mikhael is because he didn't want to spend umpteen hours climbing down the mountain. When Mikhael came back tougher, he didn't have any choice but to leg it, since there was no longer any chance of strong-arming him into leading him to one of the gates.
You question the time management skills of the Elder Gods, who do not reply. Guess they're done with you.

And besides, I wanted to beat HB because, as I believe I had said before, It would mean that I would have the chance for some exposistioning of Mikheal's personality. And, assuming he had one of those maps on him, I would have an excuse to meet up with everybody at Claires place. Besides, what is the value of letting him live? I wouldn't call him important, well developed, or inreplacable. In fact, hes only the third most powerful in Jack's little agent group. Which isn't exclusive to just them, I might add. The game provides a character sheet for generic agents. Why do you want HB to stay alive so bad?
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on February 02, 2012, 07:36:42 pm
And particularly well-developed or not, HB has a personality. I don't think, for most people, it's far-fetched for someone to run away when they're outclassed.
HB has survived to fight another day. If you don't like it, kill him next time you see him. I don't understand what is so difficult to grasp here.

Head out and explore under the SEA
You swim out of the temple, to explore under the sea (under the sea).
The nearest location is the reef village. You look around, and see mostly empty ocean, except for an enormous yellow battleship laying in the silt, previously obscured behind the temple from your view.
You point it out to DA, who uses interpretive water ballet to inform you that it is a Prospitian Vessel, probably destroyed in one of the recent battles.
>Mimi: Briefly consider pulling out your SHIPPING SPREADSHEET in celebration.
>Mimi: Reconsider.
In an alternate timeline, Mimi accidentally shipped everyone with their ecto-siblings. Crisis averted.
Incidentally, #Bay12stuck is the destination for (hopefully) tonight's memo. Assuming The Fool can show. Feel free to come in and bullshit, I already opened it.

SUNKEN TREASURE. Explore the shit outta that ship.
You see the ship, and make the only logical decision. To plunder the shit out of that motherfucker.
You start swimming toward the sunken ship. Once you get closer, you recognize multiple entrances. The deck is open to invasion, and the hull is pierced in multiple points. Where will you go?

You wait around until your spider sense tells you you've caught up to the main timeline. What will you do?
Start from the top and go to the bottom. Deck or Bridge entrance.
You make your way to where the bridge ought to be, and move in through one of the broken windows. There are dead people here. The look similar to DA, but where his carapace is black, theirs are white.
Will you explore the bridge, or continue onward?

Explore the Bridge.
You start taking a look around the bridge. This place was hit pretty hard. The consoles are filled with flak and shrapnel.
One of the computers is functioning enough that you can attempt to recover data from it. Y/N?
... I didn't mean for him to just stand there, I mean a Mini-fast forward to what Mikheal would likely be doing at the current moment that isn't a few hours in the past.
Which would be what? If there's something you want to do, you need to tell me. I'm willing to retcon that, since you literally did nothing.

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.

You start plugging away at the panel. Soon enough, you manage to bring up a few files that weren't encrypted. Given the timestamp versus when the computer logged the previous shutdown, you're guessing there was not time.
You first examine the audio log you found. It's a brief recording that, according to the file, was performed by the Captain just before engage a couple Derse freight ships and a pair of Destroyers.
The next file is a list of all the crew assigned to this particular vessel. According to this, 412 Prospitians were lost to the sea today. As well as one Derse prisoner.
The last file details the last few moments of the Battleship. Apparently, they suffered a hull breach from underwater. The weapons officer suspected a submarine, but the feed cuts out shortly after you learn this.
On a different note, when is everyone available for a memo? Last night failed, but we still need it done at some point.
We will keep trying. I should be on again tonight, and I'm making dinner early, and I'm not experimenting with curry or jumble tonight, so I shouldn't be called away to make masterwork tuna salads again. Or anything else.

You're at your residence, and up to real time. Go ahead and pester away.
Eh, I think we should have another OOC memo some time in the future.
An OOC memo would be a good idea, especially with the prospective new player.
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.
And by the Norse Gods, yes, this still needs to happen.
And no, I don't know why the Norse Gods specifically. Why not, I guess?

Anything else up here? Otherwise. Explore HARDER.
You figure you've pretty much tapped out the information value on the bridge, and start making your way further into the ship. As you make your way through the hallways, you notice colored lines on the floor of the gold battleship. Red, Blue, and Green, and white. Eventually, you come to a junction with a sign. Apparently, the Green leads to crew quarters, Red to the Battlestations and Armory, and Blue leads to the Engine room. White apparently leads to the Bridge.
Which way?
Also, we're gonna try to get the in character memo again tonight, but until everyone gets in, we may as well treat it like an OOC.
This time, it'll be #Bay12RPGStuck, in order to prevent confusion for others.

On a slightly unrelated note I also draw (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=42086.msg2946574#msg2946574), just not often for forum games anymore. I have a tendency to drop a picture and never pick it up again due to a lack of motivation. If something really epic happens I'll draw it, or at least try if I have time.

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?
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.
Yeah, John is right about BT. It's just aside that from hovering near Danielle, he doesn't do much unless there's a fight going on, so I don't really tend to call attention to him. So, yeah, everyone assume that BT is wherever Danielle is, and don't make sudden movements around her.

Now. You are in your house, and you are caught up to everyone else, in relative time. What are you getting up to?
But why are you getting aggressive now? There is no reason to get angry at me. If you didn't want Mikheal to been on some side quest, you could have just said that and I would've been fine. But you seemed to get so angry at me and say there was no way that Mikheal was ever get outside his house in that 3-or-so hour period, and that if he did he would've been just getting accused of some crime by the Red Bird Faction. Actually, now that I think about it, I would've also been fine with that, because it would mean that at least Mikheal was actually doing something in that time (It would've also been an interesting situation, but thats off-topic).
And to your two points:
1. Still, everyone else got WAAAAYYYY ahead of Mikheal in that time, and you were just effectively making me watch while everyone else had fun. Not cool bro, especially in an RPG.
2. This is hat I read that as: You decided to act in character, so I'm going to penalize you for it. We already went over this a million times. The reason Mikheal attacked was because I was being loyal to the character, and to me really RPing in a RPG is infinitely more fun then focusing on "phat lootz" or "moar levels". Not to forget that I didn't know that a Character that was only one level higher then me could smash my face in. Even if wasn't acting IC I would've attacked because from my perspective he wasn't much more powerful then me.
And on another note, I never really complained over the fact that you didn't kill me off. In fact, I as expecting you to. I am very grateful that you let my character live. What I am not grateful about is that fact that you didn't even let me wake up on Derse to RP in till a lot of time had passed. It was the fact that you could have let me done something in the time I was passed out, but you refused to do anything anyway.
If anything, you have insulted me repeatedly and now your completely ignoring some of my recent PMs. If I had much less patience and not much to look forward to in my characters I would've left by now.
But that doesn't need to happen. We don't need to get into this huge argument that will end up clogging this thread. Now, can we actually discuss is politely and calmly?

>Steve: Infiltrate the enemy base.
After settling down to sleep, You wake again in your bed on Derse's moon, determined to perform some reconnaissance on your enemy. Your first step, naturally, will be to get down to Derse proper. After checking to make sure your ninja mask is still in it's rightful place (it is), you fly out to the moon's surface.
You fly to the chain connecting Derse to it's moon, and begin to make your way across. At about the halfway point, you stop and consider that your dreamself doesn't have a sylladex, and you are thus unarmed. Troublesome.
If you want to proceed with your recon mission, make a stealth check for your approach to Derse.
I suppose now is a good a time as any to touch on what combat as a normal dreamself means. You are unarmed, unless you acquire a sylladex at some point for your dreamself (Though such a thing would be tricky, at best.) This means if you engage in combat, for whatever reason, your list of options is short indeed. Should you be caught in that situation, you are restricted to basic aggrievements as if you were using the fistkind abstratus, with no weapon precision modifier to your attack.
Also, during the memo, SirAaron raised the question of an exile based subplot, a la The Felt Intermission. That would be hard to do at best, considering there is a lot of pre-destination required for that to be a thing, especially considering we've yet to exile anyone in game, and even in the comic, we've never actually seen the exiling process, which results in me wanting to keep my distance from the exile thing a bit.
Maybe after the game comes to a conclusion, it'd be an interesting RTD? I dunno. If anyone has an idea of how I could make that work outside of doing a lot of predestined things or saying it's non-canon, let me know.
>BT: Take a nap.
Well, you've only been awake for close to twenty hours, but as long as the kids are having a chat amongst themselves, you think you can probably afford to steal some shut-eye.
Green like a bean, What happened in this Machine?
You decide to take a look around the crew quarters. Looks like this deck took a direct hit. You have a lot of room to move around between floors. You continue to follow the green line wherever you can spot an intact section of it. Eventually, you stumble upon a turtle poking around in one of the bunkrooms. He doesn't seem to have noticed you.
Also, Riccto, you can write-up Brian's removal any time you like.

Mikhael is currently strutting about on his planet, separated from the main group. Perhaps he should check in with one of his fellow players?
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.
TB will be handling the planet replacement. Brian's removal is a... Separate matter. Dun dun dun.
I guess its going to be a combo effort considering both LH and TB are taking part in it.

Unless someone that's already been playing volunteers to play him, I think it's a bad idea to ask a newcomer to play his character. I don't particularly like just pushing him off the metaphorical forum game ledge, especially for the reasons you described, but the alternative is less optimal.
Post by: Johnfalcon99977 on February 06, 2012, 10:07:21 pm
And one of the biggest problems in the way of replacing Brian is something you have said before. He is already an important and well established character. He is ingrianed in the plot as a very long time friend of three other players and the one who introduced half of them to it. How can we just get someone to replace him?

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on February 06, 2012, 10:19:15 pm
It'd be too hard to write around Brian's absence, and too much to expect another player to stick to his characterization, especially when they might, and probably would, want to go in a different direction. So, we're axing him.
In other news, I've upgraded the hard drive on my computer and subsequently had to reinstall everything.

At the very least, we can turn Brian into an NPC. I'm generally against any option that involves removing him directly.
Maybe we can suggest actions on his behalf? Since he's just an NPC now we should be able to do his actions by suggestion.

*facepalm* Yeah, I missed that alright. It does answer a question I had though: It seems that the reckoning needs to be in progress before you can begin exiling folks.

That wouldn't make a lot of sense. Wouldn't he try to contact the other players? Antagonize Mimi, Mikhael and Steve in particular? How would we even handle that? No, this may not be the ideal solution, but it at least leaves fewer loose ends by a fair margin.

You sneak your way down the chain, and manage to slip all the way to the surface of Derse. Your ninja training has served you well. No one is directly searching for you (yet), so all you need to do is remain out of sight.
Now the question is, where will you go? You don't have detailed information about anything on Derse really. From where you are now standing, it's very much like the moon, only more densely populated. What would you like to look for?

You start checking around for short people with black carapaces, but soon find that everyone here has a black carapace. Their heights vary somewhat, but it seems your original target is unusually short comparatively. Will you choose to follow one of the available Dersites?

Follow anyone that has the same uniform as the one that followed me.
They are all in the same uniform. Well, similar, anyway. This place doesn't appear to be too keen on civilians. Or maybe you haven't seen an actual soldier yet? Unlikely.
Unfortunately, you didn't get close enough of a look at the Dersite who followed you to get any idea of his rank, unit or anything else like that. Not that you're sure Derse even has those...

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.
You pick a semi sinister looking mook out of the crowd and start following him, being stealthy all the way. As you follow your mark around Derse, you start making some educated guesses about your surroundings based on what you already know.
The area around the chain appears to be analogous to a slum, considering the vaguely apartment like construction of the buildings around it. No way to know for sure without going inside, but you have more important things to do.
As you continue, the buildings get somewhat smaller and also space out a little. But what truly captures your attention is an upcoming bridge. There is nothing on it to hide behind, and it looks like your mark is headed straight for it. You'll need to come up with some way to remain hidden if you choose to follow him.
As for what the bridge goes over, You can't look inside without getting closer, but it appears that it could be a pit-mine. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udachnaya_pipe) At least, from your current perspective it does.

No, wait, that was something else. You delivered a sealed envelope from one Blue-bird Waystation to another. The pay was less than you earned for hitting the second rung on your echeladder, but you were hoping to make some connections and hopefully be fed some actual quest hooks.

>Mikheal: Continue down the Road you were walking on. Maybe your find a town(Or a horrible ambush.)
As you continue down the road, you contemplate what you've learned about the consorts of your land.
It seems that the blue birds belong to the nation Cloac, and are engaged in an on-off war with the the nation Cacol, made up entirely of red birds. The war is currently set to cold, but rumors of border dust-ups, as well as shadowy spies lead you to believe that may not be the case much longer.
You're about to engage upon more exposition when you see a blue bird face-down on the road ahead. Something doesn't seem right about it though...

You retrieve your sword from your sylladex, sensing a trap. Your concerns prove correct when you hear a small voice declare "Alright boys, he ain't buyin' it. Show yourselves."
At this command, Twelve small red birds emerge from hiding. Most are carrying bows, but two are armed with sword and shield, and another is carrying a pike. The pikebearer places the butt of his staff upon the ground, and leans on it. "All right pal, you're coming with us. We can make this easy, or we can make it difficult. Choice is yours."
Also, a reminder, you have a new hand. Greater Handcannon, Shift, and Jetbike are all available to you.

You decide that the best way to handle the situation is to fly under the bridge, so this is what you do.
You realize almost immediately that this was a huge mistake.
What you thought was something like a pit mine is, in fact, a sort of earthscraper. Or collection of them. This pit into the core of Derse is in use, and you can clearly see Dersites wandering about below, as well as what appears to be a red carpet.
If any of them look up, you will almost certainly be discovered. Or, then again, perhaps not. With the ninja mask you crafted, everything aside from your face, hands and feet are purple, which seems to be the predominate color pattern here.
What will you do?

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.
You were there for that though (though I didn't know who was and wasn't present during the memo due to the chumhandle thing, as they were essentially secondary usernames. Pesterlogs scanning, whoo).
As for actually having the character sheet, while I do have a pdf, I've never actually written a sheet up.
I was under the impression that it would be done in a pesterlog or something and I just now started trying to make one to see if I could get some of the stuff out of the way.

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?

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.

Just what this session needs: More instability. Besides, we've already gone over why we aren't keeping Brian. Even if we did keep him, he'd wind up either being a silent combatant, or alternatively coming off with about as much personality as the sprites (who I think are pretty flat to be honest, but I don't really feel like giving them much screen time). We all need to take a look at the fact that bd left, and consequently, DB has to leave as well. Now, let's get back to the game.
>Mikheal: "Depends. Why do you want me?"
>Mikheal: Stand at full hight, in an attempt to intimidate them (Troll Roll)
Extending yourself to your full height seems to make a few of the bowman nervous, but the group stands their collective ground. The Piker answers your question, but does not raise his weapon into a combat stance.
"Our King is interested in why you seem so eager to aid the Cloacians. We promise that if you cooperate, and act only in peace, no harm will come to you while you are under our care. However, I will have to insist that you do come with us."

[10,10+11] = 31 ( \o/ Lets ignore the fact that it's doubles.)
Jesus man, you need to hit up a casino while you're still red-hot. Or buy a lotto ticket, something.
You look around for a spot with a shortage of prying eyes, then dive down, sliding between a couple of buildings. Nobody here but you, and you're darn near invisible to boot. Unfortunately, It'll be difficult to maintain your mark at this distance, especially considering that, if you wish to stay out of sight, the only way to the other end of the bridge will be to circle the entire pit. Which, you could do, but he'd probably be long gone if you took the time to stay properly hidden. You could sacrifice stealth for speed, but if the alarm is raised, well, you're deep in enemy territory. It could get messy, to say the least.
You could pick a new mark, or explore around here, but you've already invested time in your current mark.
Or, of course, you could pick some kind of ridiculous fourth option. Your choice, obviously.

This is pretty different from what I've done before, but that doesn't mean I'm any less interested.
Well, it looks like The Fool and SirAaron have you covered for your character sheet for the moment, but we'll definitely go over the level system again at level 6. And yes, you are the same level as everyone else.
Right now, all you have to worry about are those two common sylladex cards, which two starting aggrievements you want, where your secondary stats wind up, if you want to take any common templates, and your alchemy, which is easily the most involved of any of these steps.
Think of alchemy as a point-buy system. Whenever you level, you get a number of points equal to your level minus one, which cannot be held and must be spent at your next access to alchemy equipment. You spend points to buy traits for a card you wish to build. You can also gain points by taking negative traits.
Right now, you have 4 sets of points: a 1 point set, a 2 point set, a 3 point set, and a 4 point set. You cannot borrow from one point set to put points into another point set. You can choose to break up your point sets to make multiple alchemy cards, but I wouldn't suggest it as you'll start doing that at level 6 to avoid the Rare Card hand block in any case.
There are 3 categories of cards you may make with your alchemy: Weapons, Armor, and Items. All alchemized weapons and armor have the collectible trait, meaning that once you draw them, you can always have access to their passive traits. In addition to the passive traits, weapons have an associated power, and armor can have an associated power, but you have to buy it. Items are not collectible, and have no passive traits, but their powers are often game changers, and can provide a huge swing in your favor during battles or scrutinies; so long as you have it in your hand.
Each category of alchemy item has it's own section in the pdf, and for weapons and armor it divides the traits you can purchase into passive and power sections.
I hope this is enough information to get started on your alchemy.

You take a good look at the birds trying to haul you off. The bowman seem mostly like fresh troops, so they probably won't be too much to handle. Still, the sheer number of them could be troublesome. The sword and boards look a little tougher, and together might actually pose a minor threat.
The piker seems to be the most competent of the bunch, from what you can tell, and that pike looks like it's seen it's share of use. He might be on level with you in terms of skill, but in terms of physical strength, there's no comparison between the two of you. He could give you a run for your money, but you'd eventually come out on top.
All of them together, however, would definitely be a problem.
Well, maybe I should just follow the red carpet to wherever it leads.
>Steve: Stalk the red carpet from afar.
[6,8+11] = 25
You start making your way into the heart of Derse, following the red carpet into the bowels of the planet. You stay off the carpet itself, careful to remain hidden.
Your concentration is interrupted as you spot a Dersite hurrying along the red carpet. This sort of thing wouldn't be a big deal, except he's down an arm and has blood all over his face. He's being escorted by a taller Dersite, wearing a diamond patch on his front.
They both scurry past your hiding place, obviously in a hell of a hurry. Maybe the carpet leads to a hospital? You continue following the carpet, and eventually spot where the carpet leads: An extremely ornate purple (yeah, big surprise on that detail) building, complete with a portcullis and armed guards. They look dangerous, to say the least.
What now?

You question the notion of this 'stat-wise' business. It certainly makes no sense to you and never will. The notion that you could categorize potential foes with numerical values for their fighting skill, strength and vitality is a completely ridiculous notion and should never be brought up again.

> Troy: Do the timey thing.
You show up. Which is profoundly odd, considering you are already there. The two of you just stare at each other for a moment, then extra Troy points to his wrist, upon which sits a large armlet. He nods to the turtle, then disappears again.
The turtle sits silent for a moment, then says, "Yes. I do believe that is sufficient." He begins to swim toward one of the many available exits.
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?
To be fair, you're hardly unremarkable. You're the only sentient being on the land that is not a carapace person or a bird. That makes you more than a little note-worthy. And consider that the red birds might not know about your altercation with HB. Plus, the red birds do not fear another war with the blue birds. It's darn near a national past time at this point.
>Mikheal: "Heh, you think I'm that stupid? You may seem like your intentions are good, but honestly, I have so much more reason NOT to trust you. Besides, I have much better things to do. Stop me if you want, but I cannot guarantee your'll live.
The bowman knock arrows and raise their bows to target you. The pikebird frowns. At least, you think he does, they're birds, so it's kind of hard to tell. "I don't have much reason to trust you either stranger. But I have orders to take you to my King. He told me if you weren't already committed to those blue bastards, you'd probably come without raisin' a fuss. It seems you are about to raise a fuss. Do we have to go through this?"

"I'm afraid we do not really know." The turtle admits, looking puzzled. "Come to think of it, it is rather a vague prophecy."
"However, we would request that you stop the Dersites from harvesting the crystals of our ocean. They are quite dear to us."

There area a few small windows, but they're cross-barred. If you had some kind of crowbar, or file or something, you'd be able to break in, but there is no way.
Looks like the only way in is the front door. You consider ways in which you could sneak past the guards, or distract them or something.

Soon enough, one of the guards notices, and takes the bait, and goes to investigate the cloth. All according to plan. You start beating seven kinds of hell out of the trash can, and making an awful ruckus as a by-product.
The other guard comes a-runnin', and you silently swoop over him, and into the building, where you quickly hide yourself.
the DISTATCION was a sucsess
From your vantage point, you see the guard return, as does his partner. They both look awfully suspicious. One of them pulls out a radio and starts muttering into it. Uh-oh.

You make the logical (and, as you later found out, correct,) assumption that the heat is on like Donkey Kong, and look for a new, superior hiding place within the enemies stronghold. You stash yourself behind a tapestry just a search team wanders past, then hide yourself better in an alcove.
Incidentally, your efforts to find a better hiding place have led you well into the building, and you hear raised voices in a nearby room.
And from this point, we need to wait for other players to move along.

You didn't elaborate on the first one, so I'll assume you prefer this.
The turtles wish you luck, but apparently are not willing to accompany you on your quest. You start swimming south, then hear the turtle shout "Wait!"
He swims toward you, and hands (fins?) you the armlet you saw yourself wearing earlier. "In our joy and relief that you had finally come, we forgot to give you your birthright. "

-I would have thought my Ref and Wil stats were 18 and 19, respectively.
-My speed is 6, right? Not sure what the modifier would be for that, other than -2. Or wait, is that it?
-Chumming is a learned skill from rolling 1d10 and getting a 3
-What're the parentheses next to HP? That can't be a modifier because that makes no sense. ...Or does it? I wouldn't know better than you guys.
-Do you originally start at level 1 or level 0? The number for my HP in the sheet assumes I start at 1.
Feel free to remake the sheet into one free of SweetBroandHellaJeffian influences if you want. And please tell me if there's anything iam not doinrite. I'm sure there's at least one thing (especially considering that blue-texted mini-flowchart-esque inquiry thing there).

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.
Oh, okay, it does add to the defenses, this is what threw me:

"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?
The dersite shakes with fear, his eyes wide. He nods vigorously.
TB: More hacking.
You're hacking as fast as you can, god damn it! It's not like you have magic control of how fast shit goes or anyth- oh wait. Duh.
You drive this son-of-a-bitch into overdrive. You need these players to win, dammit.

You tackle the confused and surprised dersite to the ground, pinning his arms behind his back. You'll have none of that nonsense. He squeaks out that he doesn't know what he did wrong, and questions if you're going to carry them then, because even after what he used to open the door, it's kind of heavy, and could you get off him please?
>Alex: Find out what the hay is going on in there.
Resisting the urge to shout 'lansakes', you go back through the door into the monitor room to find Mimi wrestling with the Dersite near a bag on the floor.

You casually grab the explosives and chuck them into the water. Problem solved.
The dersite whines how some of those aren't supposed to get wet and you didn't close the watertight bag first.

"Fair enough. I figured you were making a beeline for your SECRET KAMIKAZE TECHNIQUE: FILL 'EM WITH GUNPOWDER. We're probably still fine, though, unless some of the explosives are triggered by water. Apologies if you needed those to get where you're going, but me and the others can probably help you out in that regard."
He says that the C-4 should still be fine, and if we fish it out he might be able to salvage the dynamite. He says we'll probably need it to get into some of the other temples, but he did find one that was open once already.
He then goes onto explain that his SECRET KAMIKAZE TECHNIQUE is actually HAT FULL OF C-4, not FILL 'EM WITH GUNPOWDER. He tells you it was a good guess though.
It occurs to you that that isn't much of a secret then, now is it?

I would have posted earlier today, but the wifi (which I use from the neighbor's house, it's our router but we can't afford the internet bill so they're putting it to better use) was turned off without warning while I was using it because they were cleaning. They said they'd call when it was turned back on. Hours later, I asked my mom if they called back, and she called them, and they said they'd turn it on right then. Now that it's on, my connection is currently very shitty. Like the amount of time I spent connected to the internet will be less than the time it took me to reconnect, and then I wait God-knows-how-many minutes internetless, retrying the connection.
It took me 2 tries to log into Bay12 and about maybe 4 more to preview/post this. Yes, I counted. What I didn't count was how many times I refreshed the login page/post page. Over a hundred times total, I'm sure, and I'm not even exaggerating. The amount or tries sounds minor, and it is, but that's only because I barely got the chances in the first place (see amount of times I refreshed).

You only make rolls if you're doing something that you normally wouldn't. Asking a sprite a question, wall jumping, long jumping, sneaking, sprinting for your life, impersonating people, etc. all require rolls.

Init Roll: 5 + 7 + 8 = 20
Attack Roll: 7 + 6 + 2 = 15
Line of thinking for Mikheal: Most of new units are recruits. They likely rely on their leader. All of them likely have also ever even heard of a Firearm ever, let alone such a loud and destructive one like a Hand-cannon. The defying noise alone should make them piss their pants.
Edit: I also really wish I could get on pesterchum. I need to ask a few dudes as to the location of Claires gate so Mikheal can join up with everyone.

Emily speaks to it, pausing every now and then to silently d'aww. "Hey there. Would you happen to know where I am r!ght now?"
[8+0+7=15]
Your sprite speaks in a voice that seems close up and very far away at the same time. It's a little strange. "You are in your home, here in the land of Produce and Machinery. In a broader sense, you have entered the Medium."
>Alex: Sulk.
Okay, apparently everyone does think you're a useless, whiny loser, or alternatively some kind of uncontrollable monster that snaps as easily as a toothpick. You go as far away from the Courtyard Droll as you can in the circular entrance chamber, and sit in an emo-tastic huff.
This set-up is quickly compromised by the droll following you around, trying to find out what you're so upset about. You get up and move away whenever he gets kind of close though.

>Danielle: Pursuit!
You leap into the water, ready to talk sense into someone again. Unfortunately, you'll need to catch her first.
Unfortunately, that proves to be tougher than you guessed. Despite years of athletic training, she puts on a burst of speed that you'd never have believed had you not seen it yourself.
She gets out of your line of sight, and you lose her in the water. Well. This day is not going as well as you might have hoped.
(Well, Mimi beat two of Thero's athletics checks in a row right off the bat, the second netting her a positive complication via the magic of getting doubles. The party is split. Again.)
>Mikhael: Carry on diplomacy through other means.
You retrieve your handcannon and fire at the leader. Unbelievably, he dodges to one side, and the shot sails past. You ready yourself to slug it out with these avians.
One of the archers reacts more quickly than his fellows, and fires an arrow at you. The projectile glances off one of your shoulder plates.

Eeeeeh. I'd rather not. This is dangerous shit yo.
You swim underneath the freight boat (at least, you are assuming it is a freighter- It's where all the Dersites were taking the crystal they were harvesting), and try to keep a low profile while keeping up. It's tough, but it looks like you're probably far away enough now that you probably won't be seen distinctly, even if the water in your land is pretty much crystal clear.
Unfortunately, it looks like the freighter is starting to pick up speed.
>Mimi: Keep swimming until you find something to stand on above-water.
You keep swimming for a little while, until you spot a nearby island. You make your way there, and climb onto land. And frogs. Let's be honest here, mostly frogs.
>RL: Swear angrily and start yelling at a troll.
You start swearing angrily inside your air-helmet. Unfortunately, you'll have to come up for air before you take it out on one of the trolls- Your gear isn't waterproof.

You can't slow down time! You can only travel backwards or forwards through it.
With that option exhausted, you tell Babesprite to drop you on the deck. He asks you if you're completely sure that's wise, as the deck is generally manned by at least a few guards.

Before, when you were playing with your own group, your server only ever deployed your cruxtruder. The new machines are a little similar, in terms of design, but obviously perform vastly different functions. One of the machines appears to be a lathe, and also sports a card slot, for no apparent reason.
The other is a large platform with a stand and a large, segmented arm of some kind. You aren't sure what either of these are for.
Also, if you want, I can set up your house. Just give me a few details about it.

You go over to the dersite, and ask him if he'd like to play a game. His blank expression turns into a blank smile, and he says that yes, he would like to play a game. He asks you what games you like to play, because he likes card games.
Alex just sits at the edge of the water, letting his feet trail through the cool, dark water, while he contemplated alchemizing a bathing suit later.
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.

He says that he supposes he can try it. He grabs you firmly, but when he attempts to phase with you, he just sort of slides off. Guess that's out of the question.
>Mikheal: Perpare Shard Ability "Shift"
>Mikheal: If Ranged weapons won't work then your Sword!
Out of curiosty, what do these guys count as unit wise? I want to know which of my weapons would be more effective.
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.
>Mimi: Shake the frogs and water off. Look around.
You take a moment to rid yourself of frogs, even as they croak in protest, and also ring your clothes out as best you can. God you're sick of water.
You take a look around. There are a few nearby islands, and you can see Claire's house, just barely, in the distance. It'd be easier to spot if it wasn't normal sized. The water that surrounds you is blue green. Mostly green, and mostly from friggin' baby frogs. What is up with all of these frogs? You wish you knew.
CT: Grab your whip and go outside. Look at the gate for a bit while you wait for imps; it's quite hypnotic.
You retrieve your whip from your strife specibus and go outside, ready to fight to the death. Sadly, there are no victims in the nearby vicinity. You decide to burn some time looking for the gate, which you find directly over your house. There are more above it too. You gaze at it for a while.
RL: Throw your own little private hissy fit in the middle of the ocean.
You decide that, as times to fly off the handle go, this one is pretty appropriate. You fly so far off the handle, you'd think you have a pilot's license, but you totally don't. Jesus, someone get a ruler.
OOC: Okay, finally some time for home construction. A two story deal, XL Living room, and the standard basement replaced with a labyrinth filled with monsters, treasure, and housing the mystical Orb of Zot.

You retrieve your freshly alchemized black crystal sword from your strife specibus, and get ready to call down some pain on these bastards. You have a surprise for them...
One of the swordfighters charges you with shield in hand. You snap your alchemized crystal, and appear behind the bird who charged you, and in front of the leader, with a copy of you ready to fool the swordfighter. It attacks the copy, wasting his turn.
One of the archers looses an arrow, but he chooses the wrong target.
The other swordfighter comes at you, the real you, and attacks, but you parry his blow.
Another archer fires, but misses.
The next archer scores a direct hit, but only does 4 damage to you.
More arrow fire comes your way, but it's off the mark.
One of the archers moves to get a better vantage point, then fires at you, dealing 6 points of damage. Or it would have, if he'd fired at the right you.
The other archers also move and fire, but only one of them hits either of you, and it hit your copy.
The leader, having watched his subordinates divide their attention between you and your copy is certain that the enemy standing before him is his target, and gives you a damn good jab, dealing 12 points of damage. Yeow, that stings!
The bird archer who shot first, aside from you anyway, fires at you as well, but can't land a solid hit through your armor.
(http://tnypic.net/68717.png)
You have 36 of 52 hit points remaining.
So wait, am I on the island at Claire's house or not?
If so >Venture to a different island.
If not >Explore.
Different Island. The whole planet is one big archipelago.
Your current island is a tad on the small side. In fact, this one is home to but a single coconut tree. Well, it doesn't have actual coconuts, but it is a palm tree, and they look pretty much the same. Is there anything in particular you want to strike out for?
As you consider that idea, you notice a turtle lounging on the other side of the island.
RL: Find some land.
You swim over to the nearest little spit of land and pull ashore. What a day this has turned out to be. The incessant croaking of this planet's inhabitants isn't making this any better.
So wait, am I on the island at Claire's house or not?You can see it, but you're not on it.
If so >Venture to a different island.

> Claire: Quickly retrieve deck from sylladex and start a rousing game of Go Fish. Or something.
After wrestling with your sylladex for a short while, you pull out a deck of cards and initiate a game of Go Fish. You soon find that the droll is irritatingly good at it.
EDIT: Whoops, forgot someone.
Have Babesprite drop me off on a ladder or low-lying portion of the ship then have him run a slight diversion on the opposite side.
Your sprite lifts you up and carries you up the side of the ship, depositing you on a ladder built into the side of the boat, presumably for the benefit of the divers.
He then moves to the other end of the vessel and begins to make a ruckus. You hear a fair deal of scurrying and shouting.
>Steve: Espionage
You're already doing that! The voice you heard earlier seems to have finished it's conversation, however.
As you contemplate your next move, a beam of light shoots out of the room you heard the voices from, then slowly subsides. You can only guess as to what happened.

You stick your head in the doorway for a split second, just to see what might have made that light. You regret it rather immediately.
You pull your head back, sweating bullets. In addition to the pair you spotted earlier (The tall dersite and the injured one), there is... a creature, sitting on a throne. An armored, lupine, incorporeal being, wreathed in flame, holding a deadly blade, and with no face.
And that's just what you were able to identify at a glance. You are starting to think you don't really want to be here.

>Mikheal: Tear their Leader a new one.
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.
The swordfighter who first charged you turns, and with his leader on the other side of you, he has a bit of an advantage on you. Even so, you manage to dodge his attack.
One of the many archers fires at you, hitting you for seven damage.
The other swordsbird attacks as well, and is only as successful as his counterpart.
More arrows come your way. You take a total of 15 damage from the flurry of projectiles.
The leader strikes you in the face with the butt of his shaft, dealing 7 damage.
The first archer lands a solid blow, hitting you for another 4 hit points. Your health is now dangerously low, as you have only 3 hit points remaining. Using your jetbike to retreat might be a viable option, but whatever you do, I suggest you use your second wind.
(http://tnypic.net/41743.png)
>Troy this is a sneaking mission. Find yourself some cover and do not engage.
[2,10]+8=20 STEALTH.
You hop up onto the deck, and look around for something, anything to cover your approach. You don't see anything though. The surface of this boat is flat and bare, which is kind of odd, you think, since you'd normally expect huge crates to be on deck on a freighter. One of the guards looks like he might turn back to look at you, so you duck back down on the ladder.
There was a hatch close enough that you might be able to get over to it, open it, and be down it before anyone noticed you, but you have no way of knowing what's inside it. Your other alternative is to hang off this ladder all day, but you'd get tired for certain, and be easily spotted once this thing docks.
That thing is scary as hell. It doesn't even have a face to cover, that isn't fair. This isn't the time to worry. You still have a job to do.
>Steve: Be brave. Listen in one last time. At least until you catch a name.
[9,10+11] = 31 (Maybe my die is weighted weirdly because I seem to get a fair amount of high rolls. I'll try swapping one out.)
You get as close to the door as you dare, and listen carefully, hoping to catch a snippet of conversation. You do.
"I thought I had it bad, losing one eye."
"I might not have eyes anymore, but I can still see, Jack. For example, one of Derse's dreamers is standing outside the door, listening to our every word. Bring him to me."
Oh. Oh FUCK.

She eventually gets bored and goes back into her house.
Emily decides to set up an ambush for the imps, even though she doesn't know when or where they'll first appear. She locks all the doors and windows, then pushes one of the sofas against the front door-- the only door leading outside the building. She grabs one of the last two packs of fruit snacks in the house before settling on the end of the sofa closest to a corner, her whip at the ready, watching for any imps to burst forth through the window like... like imp-like Kool-aid men. Hard to come up with a visually specific description of what kind of Kool-aid man when you don't know what they actually look like.

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.

On my laptop, so actual combat update will come later.
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.
Also, I think you did your roll wrong. You have your 2 dice, then precision bonus, and, for most attacks, also your attribute modifier, and level. I think your level, attribute and precision bonus comes out to 10, so that could be it, but you've mentioned this is your first time playing a D&D system and it seemed odd to place that in the middle, and that two could be your precision bonus if you didn't add your level and such, so I wanted to make sure.
EDIT: No, wait, your passive bonuses should come out to 11, not 10.
Hahaha oh man looks like this is what happens when an agent succeeds their perception check.

"I'm tanning. I tan here almost every day, if I can."
>Hide-ify in the below.
[5,9]+8=22
You dash onto the deck and drop through the trapdoor before anyone can stop you. You fall about 4 feet down into a pile of huge chunks of crystal. This area below deck glows softly, just like the cave you were in earlier today. Seems you've managed to make your way into the cargo hold. What now?
> Claire: Lie through your teeth.
"yeah, it's the most comfortable thing ever, you'll love it, i promise!"
Should I make a roll for this?
If you're trying to fool, antagonize, or make friends with someone by being an asshole but in an endearing way, it's trolling. In the spirit of keeping things moving, I rolled for you.
The droll says that it's probably okay then, and waits expectantly. Nice work!
RL: Enter.
You open up the trap door and climb down the stairs inside. It's dark inside, but there is a light ahead, at the end of a long tunnel. The tunnel is dark, wet, and smells like a combination of seawater and mold. It's pretty rank.
I WARNED YOU ABOUT THE DERSITES BRO!!!! I TOLD YOU DOG! (I hope I don't die here)
>Steve: FLY AWAY NOW. Pick up something to toss at the guards at the front door.
Your cover is blown, and you need to get out of there pronto. You speed down the hallway, only pausing to grab the nearest loose object, in this case a manageable sized tapestry, and speed toward the front gates. The guards hear you coming and cross their halberds across the exit. You expected this though, and throw the tapestry at the pair of them. While they fight their way out from under it, you zip out the door.
Air raid sirens burst into life as you make your exit. What now?
"Holy sh!t !t's been l!ke three hours, are they appear!ng or not? Were they jok!ng or be!ng sarcast!c?" Emily seems to be asking this to herself as a rhetorical question, though she could just as easily be asking the sprite to vent her mild frustration with her boring waiting game situation.
You question the existence of these monsters you've heard so much about when one of them blows through your window like the goddamn Kool-Aid man. Dammit. You knew that would happen. Four more smaller ones pile in after him. Bizarrely, none of them have faces. Just like your sprite before you gave him the mask...
Alright, this battle isn't exactly filled with tough monsters, so this should be fine for a tutorial battle. First part of any fight is the initiative stage. I roll initiative for the monsters and sprites, you roll for Emily. If you get top initiative, you move first.
(http://tnypic.net/7189b.png)
If you roll well, you may want to call your move before I call the result, to save time. On your turn, you get three actions: Standard, which you can spend to attack or perform other actions that take a fair amount of time, Move, which allows you to either travel six squares, or travel one without possibility of attacks of opportunity, which is called a shift, or activate certain powers, and Minor, which you can use to communicate with allies, if you have the requisite items or they're nearby, change weapons, or do something else that doesn't take much time.
Additionally, Standard Actions can be traded for additional Move actions, and Move actions can be traded for additional Minor actions.
On a completely different note, I like how Emily's battle sprite turned out, but I'm less enthused with BDSMsprite. Also, voodoo prototyped enemies will be signified by the sprites not having any faces.
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.
Well, I guess I can see where that comes from. I'm just new to the whole DnD system and this is still my virgin run.
Right.
You swing your blade again, and this time catch the enemy leader full in the chest with your strike. He takes 26 damage and seems a bit scattered by your attack.
The sword fighter opposite the leader takes the opportunity to hit you in the back, dealing 5 damage.
An archer fires, and hits for 7 damage.
The other sword fighter swings, but you block the amateurish strike easily.
Another rain of arrows comes your way. Thankfully, your armor protects you completely this time.
The leader of the birds swings his pike at you, but it seems you knocked something loose with your last attack. He misses.
The remaining archer fires at you, dealing another 7 points of damage.
No one moved, and you have 10 hit points remaining. If I may make a suggestion, you should probably use Be the Knight next round, as it allows you to attack the leader and the two sword birds, and lets you take a second wind, even though you already used it. Be the One is also probably a good idea next turn, because it lets you hit every sucker around you. In subsequent rounds, Chasing My Shadow could provide you some mobility to hassle a couple of the archers.
Also, I was wrong, your current weapon lowers your attack by 1, so your passive attack is 10.

So thats what those abilities did.
I- Did you not even- Why- you know what, never mind. Just, in the future, keep in mind that proper ability use is the key to bloodstained victory.
>Mikheal: Be the Knight
You consider your positioning and swing your sword around in a 360 degree arc, hitting all three of the melee fighters you're engaging. The enemy leader takes the runt of the damage via a BRUTAL AFFRONT, taking 30 points of damage, while his subordinates take 14 and 16. You are emboldened by your successful attack.
Enraged by your attack one of the swordsmen swings at you, but you parry his strike effortlessly.
An archer takes aim at you, but misses.
The other swordsman attacks as well, but you block him just like his partner.
Arrows block out the sun again. Most of the arrows miss their mark, but you are hit twice for an additional 13 damage.
The leader, obviously wounded, attacks you again, dealing 9 damage.
The last archer fires as well, and hits you for 4 points. You've been reduced to 10 health again.
RL: Walk toward the light.
You make your way toward the light. Once there, you can clearly see a veritable infestation of monsters. And in the distance, on a pedestal, you think you see some kind of weapon. Too tough to make out what it is at this distance though.

Not really. It's more like using them as cover from missile weapons than anything else.
You get out of dodge, and the pit, flying between buildings in case of snipers. You hear a few loud cracks, but you don't feel anything but the wind rushing past you, so that has to be a good thing.
You've reached the top of the pit now. What's your next move?

Looks good.
Three of the imps react more quickly than you do, and charge you and your sprite. Two attack you, and of those two, one of them rolls high enough to beat your Armor Class. You take 5 damage from the creature's claws.
Your sprite is also accosted by one of the imps, but he dodges it's strike.

>Steve: Fly me to the moon, and let me hide among the towers.
You keep flying, and head back to the moon. Several more shots ring out, but you aren't hit. Soon enough, you are back on Derse's moon. You consider heading back to your own tower, but you can't be sure how safe that is. You're fairly certain that thing saw your face.
RL: Retreat, then throw Claire another email saying you found something.
You decide that this situation is much to hot to handle by yourself, so you head back out and close up the trapdoor. You text Claire again, this time regarding your discovery.
Examine the hold. Peer into the darkness.
It's actually quite bright. Them glowy crystals are everywhere. You look around. There appear to be quite a few hatches, probably for ease of loading, and there's a much larger one near the bow. Maybe this is where they unload? Hard to tell.

"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?
I think he should learn a tactical retreat, and hit them again after resting up. He doesn't NEED to kill them all in one go.

Well, the simplest of which would probably be
Which also does not include retreat or surrender?
:I
Well, I don't think it'll help you much now, but I personally think you didn't approach this battle very well. Had it been me, I would have attacked the archers first, and eliminated them with Be the One and maybe also Be the Knight if I'd already lost health. They deal a fair amount of chip damage, those archers. Only then would I have focused on the other enemies.
And the Fool is right. There's no shame in retreat. Like that one tribe of Orcs I cannot recall the name of say, iffin ya dunt run away, ya end up ded. Iffin ya do run, ya can git anudder go, see?

Radio DA. Ask him how long the mining op had been there. Move back that much time and one additional year.
He says all the vessels were deployed today. You decide to go back a full year. Everything looks about the same, minus the boat.
Plus there's the whole "not supposed to be killing these guys" thing like Eridan had with the angels.

You take a swim back toward the temple, then move back to the future. You arrive mere moments before the timer is set to expire.

Fine then, but this is stretching the Personal Plot I had for Mikheal.
>Mikheal: Tactical retreat and start this again from the beginning.
Detail your escape plan. You're still in combat, for the time being.
"Well... then what else is out here? What's on the other small islands?"
"Mostly it's frogs. There are supposedly concealed ruins that are said to hold weapons of great power, but I know I've never seen any."
>COUNTDOWN. Excitedly. Curse your lack of confetti. Use filth
You begin counting down the timer with the clock. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1! The capsule opens, revealing... Good grief. It's an enormous sword. Damn, you feel like your hair should be spikier just looking at it.
Too bad your strife specibus is allocated to bats. This thing looks positively deadly.
RL: WHADDAYA YOU LOOKING AT, PUNK?
The frogs scatter as you round on them. That'll teach those stupid amphibians.
CT: Attack the closest one.
[3,7+11=21]
In the future, please pick specific enemies as the target(s) of your attacks. Also, while it won't be too critical for this battle, you might want to experiment with attack powers now. Basic aggrievements are good fallback choices, ad get the job done, but in general, powers are more worthwhile in battle. Right now, your most powerful attack is Be The Knight, by the way.
You lash out at Imp number 3, killing it instantly. Grist explodes from where the imp once stood.
Your sprite uses it's tail as a whip as well, slaying Imp number 2.
The remaining imp doesn't seem to have a sense of self preservation, as it charges at you despite the fate of two of it's comrades. It misses you entirely.
The Ogre lumbers forward, and strikes you with an enormous hand. You take 16 damage from the attack.
Imp number 4 attacks your sprite again, but your sprite doesn't seem bothered by it.

He says there are rumors that most of them are under guard, but that was never his department. Also, he's heading to the port to get back to Derse.

While Alex checks the kitchen(?), you check the bathroom for some kind of first-aid gear. You find some band-aids pretty easily, but they're worthless for this. You search harder and eventually find some gauze and disinfectants. This should work.

You lash out at both foes, destroying the imp, but unfortunately tripping yourself up with your whip! You fall, and take 7 damage. Your next attack roll will also be penalized by 1.
Your sprite attacks the remaining imp, wrapping it's ghosty tail thing around it's neck and choking it to death.

Sprites do have their own hit point count, but even when they're taken out, they bounce back at the end of the encounter (unless I decide they are doomed to die, of course).
You unleash another attack, this time striking the Ogre in the face with your whip. It takes 12 damage from the assault. You can also choose to use a second wind as a free action, though you currently have 42 hit points.
Your sprite attacks the Ogre as well, hitting for 14 damage.
The ogre makes like the empire and strikes back, this time aiming for your sprite. Your companion is bashed for 10 damage.

You whip the Ogre again for 10 damage.
Your sprite mimic's your actions, hitting the ogre for an additional 9 damage.
The Ogre is now looking pretty winded. It returns to attempting to crush you with it's fist. It lands a glancing blow, but even that is painful. You take 8 damage.
All three of you are distracted however, when a young, soaking wet brunette appears in your living room in a flash of light.
>Mimi: Arrive.
You just did that! Get up to speed, yeesh.

Okay. Just so you know, since you entered the battle late, you take bottom initiative.
RL: TO THAT GATE
A short trip later, and the gate deposits you outside Claire's house. Hmm. That one must be Claire's first gate.

You lash out with your whip again, doing another 12 points of damage to the beast.
Your sprite attacks it in turn, but misses.
The ogre, now clearly in a lot of pain, swings at you again. You dodge well out of the way though.
It proves to be the enemy's last combat error. Mimi lodges a crossbow bolt deep into the Ogre's skull, and the creatures bursts into grist.
VICTORY.

A restart isn't going to be a thing. Not even Troy gets that luxury.
You pull your jetbike out of your sylladex, hop on, and start pulling away from the fight.
Unfortunately, not one of your enemies is willing to let you go so easily. The leader and both swordsbirds attack, and while the sword users miss, the Leader of the troop catches you upside the head with the back end of his polearm for 13 damage. You are thrown from your vehicle, hit the ground, and begin to fade.

"I wanna try that out. I guess I'll make a razor wh!p. Then maybe some g!ant Gushers."
Emily pulls out a capchalogue card with an image of a razor on it, then capchalogues her whip and pulls it back out in card form. Holding one card in each hand, she asks "So I can comb!ne these?"

You do have 10 points in a way. You need to spend the points in levels. You have a 1 point item, a 2 point item, a 3 point item, and a 4 point item. You can break up the points (a 3 point and a 1 point item instead of a 4 point item), but you can't combine points (the 3 point and the 4 point cannot be used together to make a 7 point item). I hope I explained that well.

"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?"
Alex retrieves his rocketpack, and reads the code off to Danielle. "YOU COULD PROBABLY MAKE SOME OTHER KIND OF ROCKET WEAR, IF YOU WANTED."
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.
>Mimi: Look up from Emily's roof to make sure the gate is there.
EDIT: Every day that goes by the OP image I made looks worse and worse.
Well, it is only a free half point, but it is extremely useful. It's actually what I've been doing with Alex's weapons.
You head out to Emily's roof. As sure as anything, there are multiple gates above Emily's home, each one farther away then the last.
As for the cast image, since we've replaced two characters since you made it, it could use an update. *nudge nudge*
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.
As for level 10 alchemies, for God tiers and class ascensions (or whatever they're called), you get 9 points, and it follows all the rules it would otherwise.
Signature Alchemy players get some special rules. They get 10 points, no more no less, and it gets some special traits, the most important being that it never, ever leaves their hand, and doesn't take up a spot in their hand. Also, their hand size increases.

IIIIII'm not gonna give anyone hands. Those are tough to draw, even by pencil, let alone by plain pixel. Also, when I make variations, they're not always very noticeable ones like colors or accessories; they could be a single pixel of variation. Literally no thought goes into making the variations, the thought comes in with noticing that they're there. The challenge is choosing which ones to scrap. I keep them because... well, it's kinda like hoarding. I know I'll never use the extras or it's pointless to keep them, but I do it anyway. I'm actually trying to stop doing that with the stuff I make, I have the urge to do it a lot but it's a bad habit that's sometimes more trouble than it's worth.

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?

When are you going to open your chutes? Are you going to get fairly low first, or open them early and float down slow like?

Troy continues to swim through the Ocean, looking for more villages, mining sites, and other points of interest. Coming over the horizon, and towards him, is a bright gold warship.

The group takes a right turn, trudging into the dark tunnel beneath the pyramid. As they move further in, symbols and pictograph become more and more frequent on the walls.
Further ahead, there is a sharp turn, and soon after the hallway opens up into an enormous room. It's tough to see because it's so dark, even with the sprites lighting things up.

Eventually, he stops the light on something in the ceiling. "WHAT'S THAT?" The object the light is fixed on appears to be some sort of ornate basket, possibly for holding a fire to light the room.

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.

Well, what's going on with the pillars is fairly obvious to you - it refers to you and your coplayers reaching Skaia by building up your houses as high as they will go. And if they're to scale, that's pretty far. It's way creepier that one of them, at least at the base, really does look like your house.
You're not sure what's going on with this bizarre circular mural though.

You search around while the others decide what to do next. You manage to find the mechanism for the trap, and reset it. The stairs snap back into a stair like position.
After a moment's consideration, you jam it for good measure. Searching for what trips the thing would be a pain when you can disable the thing from here.
Sorry for the triple-perspective here, Blade. This shouldn't take long.

S'alright.
You cannot fall asleep in mid-air, because your parachute isn't terribly comfortable, and, more importantly, you have gotten quite a few cat-naps in lately. You're wide awake!

Both, if possible. For all I know, I have all the time in the world to examine my posistion.
Alright, but just shaking the bars will tell you what you need to know.
You grab the bars while the guard stares at you and give them a firm shake. Nothing happens. You're fairly certain that you could shake these bars all day, and only get sore arms out of it. "It's magically reinforced. You aren't going anywhere until the King is ready to see you."
You hear some movement out of your visual range, but from the sound, you're guessing there's a staircase that leads down into this room. Another bird, this one unarmored, moves into your field of vision. "Uh, Sarge? The Commander is sending down an escort in a few minutes. He wanted me to tell you to wake the prisoner and prepare him to see the King."
The jail bird swats the messenger. "Idiot boy! He's awake, can't you see that? Honestly, you never look around you. Even the monkey" At this he points a wingtip at you, "Is more observant than you!" The younger bird scurries back out of the room. The jailer comes closer, holding up a set of heavy manacles. "Youngsters. Hotheads or airheads, and sometimes both. Anyway, both hands through one gap, if you please. Don't need no more trouble than is really necessary, now do we?"

Well, you're up the stairs, not down them. It'd be hard for something to slide down to you if they'd gone down and whatnot.
Anyway, you see a long hallway before you, and it looks benign enough, but your ninja senses are tingling. Something is amiss. Or afoot. It's asomething anyhow.
NOTE: No, seriously, don't everybody die just to see it go down, not even in the name of morbid curiosity. It'd just be a sequence of poorly edited Homestuck panels. And it would take a while to do them all. Because I'd actually edit out all the previously done backgrounds, you see. And, I'd give myself my hair too. This isn't something we want done.

>Mikheal: Likely the best option would be to just comply. If the king is here then this is likely a heavily fortified compund. You should wait for a better chance to escape later.
You dutifully place your hands through the bars, at which point heavy manacles are clapped upon your wrist. It seems that, even though you're unarmed, they aren't taking chances.
You have a few moments before your escort arrives. Anything you want to do before they show up?

It's not that impressive, just long is all.
You start leading the group down the hallway, cautiously watching for... Well, anything. You spot a tile that looks out of place, step back, and cautiously prod it with one toe before drawing back your leg.
Ten large, serrated steel discs shoot out of the wall, floors and ceiling in front of the group, buzzing along set paths before retreating into the stonework again.

You set about leading your companions through the hallway, carefully sidestepping and revealing traps as you find them, and keeping your teammates from getting diced. It's a time consuming endeavor.
Several turns later, you spot another staircase. It heads up.
>Emily and Mimi: Land already.
You both touch down, now at the ground level. The air is filled with the distant thrum of machinery.

He clamped the manacles straight over your wrists. You can't shift them at all, and it's uncomfortable to boot. Still, if you spot something you can use to pick the lock, you could grab it in your teeth and pick the lock... Yeah, right. Intelligent guards sure are frustrating.
You come out of your introspection as the sound of many, many boots hitting the stairs meets your ears, and a squad of five pike bearing red birds show up in front of the cell. One of them speaks. "We're here to take the prisoner to see the King." He shows the jailer a piece of paper, which the guard looks over. He nods, and comes to your cell, unlocking it, and swinging the door open.

"MAYBE WHATEVER IS HERE IS SOMETHING THAT WHOEVER PUT HERE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TAKEN AWAY?" While Alex muses on the nature of the prize hidden in the pyramid, you look around for mechanisms in the stairs. To the surprise of absolutely no one, you find some, and quickly jam them.
Also, Emily's hand is Spikey Pleather Boots, Explosive Ball with Straps, and a LPOS.

As the group reaches the next floor, Steve starts checking for traps again, and, again, finds quite a few. What is somewhat more interesting is that at the far end of the corridor, there is light.

This is likely a Perception check, because Mikheal isn't about to accidently break his cuffs and get a new, harder pair.
You try to find out if you can detect weaknesses in the cuffs discreetly, but you can't really tell without giving it your best effort. You aren't ready to do that just yet either.
You step out of the cell, and the squad surrounds you, two to each side and one behind. You are quickly marched up the stairs. You look around for any place they might be holding your sylladex, but nothing you see leaps out at you and screams 'prisoner effects'
You are maneuvered into a long hall, with a wide set of double doors. Well, this is probably the door to the audience chamber.
"I would like to see the inside of the factories, too. Let's head to a nearby one."
>Group: Head east.
You begin to head along the path to the east, rather than take a Journey to the West. Apart from the sound of machinery, which is getting louder the closer you get to the factory, it's very peaceful.
You soon reach the factory, in time to see a large robotic arm lunge out, grab a tree, and pluck it from the ground with a mighty wrenching sound, roots and all. A small group of yellow salamanders are standing by the factory doors, chattering excitedly amongst themselves.

[2,7+16] = 25
You spend more time disassembling and jamming a variety of instruments of death and dismemberment, mostly the latter. However, as dangerous as the traps are, it seems that once you begin to look for them, their triggers are obvious. Though, that may be because of your training they stand out so well.
Soon, the way to the lit room beyond is clear.
>CT: Introduce self to locals, and see if you can get them to tell you what the deal with these factories is.
[7,1+8=16]
this would be a chumming check, right
You don't usually have to deal with a chumming check unless they either don't want to tell you what you're asking about, or don't like you.
You greet the lizards, and they turn, responding excitedly. They say that the factories have always been here, but only recently have they begun taking in the very trees they produce. They find it perplexing, and also alarming. Their food apparently grows on the trees that are being systematically uprooted, taken into the factories which spit out different trees at the other end. They were considering going in, even though they've been told not to.
"Why are you all so excited?"
One of them claims they were trying to psych themselves up. The three agree it hasn't been working very well.
>Mikheal: If your just going to give me a long squence of railroadings, you may as well just cut to the chase and get me to the king part already.
Well, if you're feeling impatient, fine. Your escort scurries you through the hall and into what is clearly the audience chamber. There are two regal, green decorated thrones, and the right hand seat is occupied by a red bird wearing a golden crown. Standing beside him is the leader of the group who beat you up and locked you up. He scowls heavily at you.
The king waves the squad surrounding you away, and they step to either side, giving you plenty of space. Then, he speaks. "Remove his helmet. I would speak to him beak to beak, as it were."
The captain (Actually, it occurs to you that you don't know his rank, but he seems of a captainy persuasion) leans over to the King. "My Liege, I must advise against this. The helmet is magic and in possession of it's own intelligence. If removed for a time, it will destroy itself and anything nearby in a cataclysmic explosion."
The King looks perturbed, and turns to face the other bird. "Is this so? And how did you come to learn this? Did he tell you?"
"No my liege." The bird replies, shaking his feathered head. "But one of my personal squad meant to take the helmet as a trophy, and when he wore it, it told him of these dire consequences. We cannot be sure how long it would take to explode, and I cannot bear the thought of your majesties death, especially a death so easily preventable."
The King nods his head. "Very well, he may leave it on." The King re-directs his attention to you. "I do wish we could have met in more agreeable circumstances, young traveler. But, perhaps we can have something resembling courtesy in any case. What is your name?"
>The Messhall! Where I can charm the crew with my PERSONALITY.
And so, the Messiah heads for the Messhall.
You enter the messhall, where the crew meets you with... Well, a sort of nervous deference. This may make getting friends off to a chilly start. At any rate, there isn't a meal being served right now, so the only sailors here are either off-duty, cleaning, or preparing for the next meal. What will you do?

The salamanders are standing in front of a large sliding door, but it's either stuck or locked. You could try going in through the opening the arm came out of, but there is no way up there. It might be possible to force the sliding door though.
RL: INTO THE LIGHT
The group makes their way into the next room, and after their eyes adjust, it is quickly identified as the room they were in earlier, only inverted. After a moment, the group discovers another difference: Instead of a mural on the wall, there is a spiral ramp, winding up to the ceiling.
"IS IT JUST ME, OR IS IT BRIGHTER IN HERE THAN IN THE OTHER ROOM?"

Danielle starts making her way up the ramp. It's a fairly shallow incline, following around the wall about 8 times before spiraling all the way to the top. As you take stock of everything this ramp entails, you notice something sticking out of the ceiling. It looks like another slab.
Are you going all the way up?

Both Steve and Claire manage to quickly ascertain that, yes, there was one more trap. You trip it from a safe distance, and the four kids and tortoise watch a large boulder lazily spiral down to the floor, not chasing anyone. Guess it wasn't a big deal that everyone left their fedoras at home.
The slab is now within reach, believe it or not!

"I'll help hold the doors open for you when you try to get through, !f you wanna jo!n me."
>CT: Squeeze through the doors like a... well, like a person squeezing through a pair of doors.
You both head inside of the factory, and for a few moments are stunned by the sheer amount of strange. Just as you enter, a new tree is ripped from the ground outside, and pulled into the factory, where it is placed up right on a conveyor belt, and has all of it's leaves and fruit meticulously picked off, after which they are placed on a second belt leading to a furnace.
Further down the line, the trees have their bark shaved, and the bark is then routed to a grinder.
There's more to the factory, but you'll have to go deeper in to see it.
>Wander about the ship and attempt to be HELPFUL.
Though you only want to help out, as you wander around the ship, the prospitians constantly claim they have no need of assistance, and that you needn't trouble yourself with their problems.
At least, until you wander up on deck and one of them asks if you could give him a hand cleaning one of the larger guns.

"THAT'S WEIRDLY CONVENIENT, CONSIDERING ALL THE DEATHTRAPS, DON'T YOU THINK?"

>Mikheal: "Your joking, right? Do you mean the little delivery of a farming report for a little backwater village? I just did that for a little money!"
"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
move sooner than this, to say the least..." He trails off, apparently speaking more to himself than you at this point. After
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.
Both nations of this land have been pitched against each other for eternity. Any minor factor could upset the balance in favor of
either side. Whether it be the results of the year's farming... Or, a wandering knight."
"Though, I must ask... if your only employment with Cacol was in delivering reports, why were you so reluctant to meet me, hm? You
must surely realize, from my perspective, it is, to say nothing else, suspiscious." The bird brings his wingtips together in front
of him, steepling them like fingers. His expression is difficult to read, but he doesn't seem angry, as such.
>CT: Observe the fruits. Pick one up (assuming I can reach them).
As in, are they Earth fruit? (Also, perception check?)
You inspect one of the fruits. It's certainly nothing you've ever encountered before. At first glance, it appeared somewhat
like a plum, but it's the size of a grapefruit at least, and the skin is even tougher than that, not to mention far more waxy.
You idly wonder how one would even eat something like this. It doesn't seem to have much of a smell to it, but perhaps it isn't
ripe? Or, it could just be the thick skin hiding ripe flesh? It's impossible to tell.
The salamanders that followed you in clamber around you, asking if you are going to eat it.

The salamanders inform you that, no, they aren't poisonous, at least to them, it's just that they're hungry, and wanted the fruit.
"I'm not sure. But if you're hesitant, I might as well give it a shot."
>Mimi: Grab the fruit, attempt to peel with rapier. TASTE THE FACTORY ASSISTED RAINBOW.
You peel off quite a lot of the skin before you come to the realization that it is all the fruit is. Just more of this unappetizing waxy stuff. Undaunted, you tear a section off, and pop it into your mouth. It doesn't taste like much.
You keep chewing for a while, hoping a more enticing flavor will reveal itself. This does not come to pass.
Steve turned to the tortoise with a puzzled look on his masked face, "SavIoURs oF thE MediUm? whO'rE thEy?"
"They are mythical beings who are said to come when Prospit and Derse come together in their final conflict. Whatever that means. It's just an old crackpot legend that doesn't even make any sense."
Suddenly, the group hears the distant sound of PSHOOOES.
>Troy you are the deckhand. he is you.
You spend a fair amount of time cleaning out a very big gun. Presumably to keep you from being bored, the prospitian you're assisting gives you an overview on how to operate it, which is pretty cool, but probably ultimately useless as your strife specibus is not set to deckgunkind.

"It would seem to me that if it is large enough to warrant a report, it must be large enough to be important, wouldn't you say? In the game of war, it behooves a smart player to consider all of his opponents pieces- Not only the large ones." The King rises from his throne, and approaches you. "Perhaps when we are finished speaking, I can dispatch an escort for you, to see you reach your friends safely. I wish to know, however, are they also like you? Or are they different, but similarly strange creatures, I wonder? I would wish to extend an improved class of hospitality should they visit my kingdom. I'm sure we can both agree that the circumstances of our meeting could have been better."

>Mimi: Pull down some fruits from the trees and give them to the lizards first, though.
You swipe a few more of the clipped fruits, and hand them to the lizards. Amazingly, they eat them whole. They stand around being excited and unintelligible because of the fruit.
"Well isn't that great, it's just telling us shit the trolls already told us. That's all kinds of useful. But seriously now, let's get up to that gate."
RL: Exit.
"MAYBE IT'S THERE TO TELL US BECAUSE THE TROLLS AREN'T PART OF THE GAME?" Alex said, following Danielle up the stairs and onto the roof of the pyramid. There was a small section that was flat, maybe 10 by 10. The sound of PSHOOOES grows louder. Just above the pyramid, within jumping distance, is a gate.
Alex points to a dot in the sky. "WHAT'S THAT?"
"HeRe. YoU caN rEAd oVEr iT."

Claire started up the stairs, and turned back at the tortoise.

>CT: Lead the way deeper into the factory.

You can totally captchalogue stuff. Feel free to clog your sylladex with anything you want.
You snag another fruit to contemplate later, and lead the way deeper into the factory.
You spot one of the shorn trees being fed into a grinder, and the resulting sawdust fed into a large stirring Vat. The vat has a pipe leading out of it, and into the wall. Luckily, there appears to be a door into the next section of the factory.

"HEY, WAIT FOR ME!" Alex leaps through the gate after both of you, as all of you emerge onto a plateau surveying a huge volcanic plane. It's incredibly hot here.
Alex looks around for a minute, and looks ready to say something just as BT pops through the gate. He must've seen you going through.
Without so much as a word of greeting to the others, he starts blowing his gaskets at Danielle, talking about how dangerous the medium is, and how it's incredibly important that he be around to protect you, and blah blah blah blah blah. You just sort of tune him out. It isn't like he hasn't said this before. And it isn't like you need that much protection. The most dangerous thing you even ran into on Claire's planet were a bunch of traps, and Steve and Claire handled that pretty well without him around.
My god, he's still going. It's like he did an acrobatic fucking pirouette off the face of reason, and is just spinning out into the void of space forever. He asks if you're even listening.

>Mimi: Head through the door.

Mimi heads through the door, and finds several imps and two basilisks (basisliki?) the moment she does. In the split second she has to get ready for battle, she spots another conveyor belt, and more machinery. Oh, and an enormous stack of trees.
Emily sees a fair bit of this, and also Mimi's back. The salamanders spot the basilisks and run screaming in the other direction.

• What are those card icons next to that basilisk-- is that just a visual thing because prototyped deck of cards?
• 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.
Post by: freeformschooler on March 15, 2012, 11:18:21 am
Yeah, that's one of the prototypings.
I'm not sure. BLLLAAAADE
BT is an enigmatic character - the only "intruder" who actively mingles with the other characters face to face (except for RA and Troy's evil clone but those only got a little time on the spotlight). He is obsessed with protecting Danielle.
Post by: applesauce machine on March 15, 2012, 11:24:20 am
Your init modifier is shown on your character sheet. It is 8. You roll 1d10+1d10+8 for init.Oh huh, I didn't see it. Guess I didn't look hard enough. [8,10+8=26]

• 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.
1: Yeah, it's 8, so you roll two d10 and add 8 to the result.
2: Yes it is.
3: It attacks every creature in the burst, so yes, it attacks allies as well if you do that. Most burst attacks don't, so check whenever you use one you aren't familiar with.
4: BT is a riddle wrapped in an enigma wearing ridiculously evil looking armor.
And, as a bonus, everyone can attack diagonally. So, that's something to keep in mind.
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?
Also, for everyone in the Alex, Danielle, Steve and Claire group, does anyone want to re-draw after the pyramid scrutiny?

Mimi shoots at the closest imp with her crossbow, and ducks back into the half of the factory devoted to destroying trees. Unfortunately, the bolt glances off the imp's rocky shoulder, and falls to the ground. Oh well.
Emily waits for the enemy to close in.
Three of the imps rush forward, all trying to get the first shot at the girls. The first among them swipes at Emily with his claws, dealing 6 damage.
The next one has to attack around the doorway, making the strike kind of clumsy, but it manages it anyway, dealing another 6 damage.
The third of the imps that charged in couldn't get close enough to attack this turn.
The last imp and both basilisks hang back.

You can choose to use a basic aggrievement, which is just a bare bones attack, but you really are better off using threshecute as your standard attack. It even attacks multiple enemies next to you.
You whip your whip in an arc, attempting to take the imp by surprise, but this one is smarter, or at least faster, than the ones you fought back at your house.
>Mimi: Switch to Prospitian Chainsword and jab at Imp 1.
[8+2+Attack Bonus]? That's more like it.
Your attack bonus here would be a precision bonus of 3-1, plus img modifier which is 5, and your level, so 12.
You pull out your chainsword and deliver a lightning fast jab into the closest imps face. It explodes spectacularly.
Imp 2 moves forward and swipes a vicious claw at Emily, but she dodges out of the way.
Imp 3 also gets closer, and attacks Emily as well, and unlike Imp 2, lands a solid blow. You take 6 damage.
Imp 4 decides to join the fracas, and closes in, focusing on Mimi. She takes 6 damage from the ensuing attack.
The basilisks continue to hang back, waiting to make their move...

Ahaha I'm not sure if Blade is doing BT's dialogue here or his actual player because of the typing quirks.

It's a mystery. A mystery wrapped in an enigma chained to the bottom of the what the fuck is this well.
You lunge at imp 2, destroying it. One to go.
The remaining imp lunges at Emily, hitting her for another 6 damage.
The basilisks hold their ground, but both girls realize they're getting a strange look from them. Mimi takes 13 damage from the disconcerting ogle, and Emily takes 11 damage from it. Both are immobilized as well.
Each basilisk moves slightly closer, leering in a decidedly unsavory manner.

It is 2d10 plus your attack modifier. Your attack modifier is the modifier from your weapons associated stat, plus your level, and your precision bonus from the weapon you're using. Which should come out to 12 in your case.

You wait for the Basilisk to drop its guard, and then lash it for 21 damage. It suffers a penalty to attacks on its next turn.
The Basilisk snarls and bites you, dealing 9 damage.

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)?
Yes, it can, but it is susceptible to opportunity attacks if one of you is within range as it moves through, and it has to have an open space that it can move into, not blocked by either of you.
Is Threshecute an at-will action? If not how is Emily using it so much?
>Mimi: Switch to crossbow and use TIDAL FORCE on the basilisk.

You blast the basilisk with your crossbow, destroying it. The battle is over.
I'll re-do hands in a bit. Also, in the future, make sure you have the items in your hands before using their associated powers. Tidal Force and Giant Gusher here being the not-in-hand offenders.

>Mimi: Examine surroundings in more detail.
You take a look at this end of the factory, now that you aren't destroying monsters. It appears this is the production phase. Some sort of sawdust paste is being piped out onto the conveyor belts, where it is pressed into tree shapes. Further down the line, bark is painted on with rollers. Last, leaves are blasted onto the branches, and they roll off the line into a large cart. This cart seems to serve no other purpose, strangely.

You make your way over to the cart. Nothing seems to be happening after this point, for some reason. It's bizarre, and certainly doesn't feel like a natural progression.

"You know, I always did believe that the best way to figure out what something does is to hit it with a dangerous object a few times." Mimi walked back through the doorway they'd just entered and started looking around for important parts of the machinery. "Then deal with the messy consequences later."
>Mimi: Start jabbing/shooting any vulnerable and important looking parts of the elaborate machine until it seems sufficiently broken. Then wait and see what happens.
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on March 18, 2012, 05:21:33 pm
Well, okay. You start wandering around, looking for any part of machinery that looks vaguely exposed or fragile. Within minutes of abuse, sirens start going off as the factory grinds to a complete halt. Things continue in the production half of the factory, at least for now.

"The war was pretty much inevitable. Derse and Prospit have always been at odds, and we always knew it'd come to war. When the heart of Skaia changed, we knew we had to act, and so did they. We couldn't put it off any longer."
"As for my time on this world... It's been pretty sad, really. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but everywhere we look we're getting attacked by Derse battleships, or the crystals are being mined out before we can do anything. The whole exercise feels like a quest of futility."
>Mimi: Keep exploring. Watch out for anything that's changed.
There's nothing else inside the factory. You've already seen it all. You wait around, and eventually the tree production slows as well, until the strange tree-pudding stops pumping through the pipe. More sirens begin to wail.

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.

The salamander thinks for a moment, then replies. There's more factories. Lot's more factories. Of course, there are also the villages where the rest of the salamanders live. There's the giant rock spire that goes above the clouds too, and that's all there is around here that he knows about.

"well lets get cracking then!"
"Right." The captain barks a few orders, and the ship makes a sharp turn to starboard. Time to find out what's going on.
>Be the other guy.
You are now ALEXANDER EMMERSON, and you're busy right now! Be someone else!
>I didn't mean him anyway. Be the other guy.
You are now STEVE JEFFERSON. Oh, wait, no you're not. You can't be Steve right now because Steve is being Steve. Sorry about that.
>Oh for God sakes, be the Knight already!
You are now EMIL-
>NO.
Oh, you're no fun. You are now MIKHAEL METAXAS, and you are now at the border between the blue and red bird nations. This place is a mess. Not the immediate area, mind you, just the whole planet. Sheesh. What will you do now that you're here?
The Captain hands you your sylladex, and you immediately put it right back where it belongs; in the upper left corner of the screen.

We have the best group dynamics. The very best.
Luckily, it appears that the salamanders did not hear that remark, and they begin to show you the way to their nearest village. It's a good thirty minute walk, and when you arrive, you see quite a lot of salamanders wandering around. Their homes appear to be made of huge, broken gears, and sometimes wood, though this is rarer. They don't pay you much attention, and the salamanders you came here with wander away into the village.
Now what?

"ACTUALLY, WE'RE ONLY GOING UP TO THE SECOND GATE, WHICH IS ALREADY ACCESSIBLE. WE DON'T NEED TO BOTHER TROY AT ALL." Alex emerges from his house, carrying a stack of powder blue jackets, and begins passing them out to everyone but BT. "TOOK ME A BIT, BUT I MANAGED TO ALCHEMIZE SOME REFRIGERATED JACKETS." Alex then turned to BT. "UH, YOUR ARMOR HAS A COOLING SYSTEM, RIGHT? I'M JUST GUESSING..."
>Mikheal: Walk to the nearest village to find ask around for the location of a gate, in the blind hope it will lead you to the others.
You head back into blue bird territory and start asking around about a gate. About ten minutes of detective work later, and you are reasonably certain that there's a fort north of you that has a gate on the top floor.

Alex has a fuckton of hair, so the wisps go all the way down his neck.

You head into one of the gear huts and strike up a conversation with the salamanders inside. The tallest one informs you that he is a fruit gatherer usually, but times have been tough ever since the factories have begun taking in almost as many trees as they put out, which has been for some time now.
>Mimi: Consider breaking into houses and smashing pots. Find a nearby resident to talk to instead.
You suppress both your destructive tendencies and a bizarre desire to wear a green tunic, and speak to one of the salamanders. He tells you that it is foretold that one day, when the world becomes unbalanced, a wandering knight who commands the wind itself will set things right. He then mentions that that is basically a load of hooey, and that he can't for the life of him take his elders seriously.

The gate is too far to barrel roll to. You start climbing instead.

You give in to peer pressure.
The three of you get several floors up, dispatching the odd imp or so, as single imps no longer pose a threat to any of you.

"Well, what if I told you it wasn't a bunch of hooey, and according to how quickly things happen in this game, will probably be taking place pretty soon?"

Cartoon sounds of violence erupt from the floor above. When things eventually quiet down, you follow BT. The next floor up is more of a mess than the others, and that's impressive with all of the underlings about. Huge gouges decorate the floor and walls, and grist is every damn place. BT is already headed for the next floor.
"Are there any c!t!es around here, or !s !t all just v!ll!ages? If there aren't any, then maybe you can show me a well-known landmark or somth!ng l!ke that?"
"We don't gather too many of us in one place, so it's mostly small villages. And the only landmark I can think of is great mountain west of the village." The salamander points out the window at the mountain your home is situated atop of. "Maybe someone else in the village could be more helpful? I could show you around."

RL: Continue following in the wake of BT's destruction. Contemplate whether you should be the one killing the monsters instead of BLUH BLUH HUGE ASS.
You briefly consider that you're basically sending in a Jeigan character to do all the fighting, rather than allow the rest of the party to kick ass and level up. On the other hand, there are always more where those bastards came from, and you're sure it can't possibly be all that relevant in the near future.
You are now one floor (and a significant amount of property damage) closer to the roof.
>Mikheal: Go through the gate and get this over with.
You are led up to the gate, and leap through without a second thought. You emerge on a snow-covered mountaintop. This is... Better?

"Thank you. My parents built it a long time ago." The salamander leads you outsider. "First, I will show you our town square. It is quite magnificent."

The captain starts telling you about a lot of technical shippy terms while you advance to the location of the battle you're supposed to spy on. You think you are getting the hang of boat jargon, and could give commands effectively in a pinch situation.
>Mikheal: Look around.
You spot a house behind you. Ah. This must be one of the player's homes. The owner surely won't mind if you go inside. You need to get down to the surface, right?
Though, you suppose you could jet-bike down, in theory.

Though you look for enemies in BT's wake, it appears he is extremely methodical in his removal of underlings. And judging by the walls and floors, perhaps a bit too enthusiastic.
As you near the twentieth floor, you hear a voice from a few floors below. "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE?"

You start nabbing all that sweet, sweet grist. It's mostly Build, Coal, and other cheap, common grist types. You max out your cache pretty quick, so it's a good thing your party has the gristtorrent application.
Alex finally joins you all at the 19th floor. "WE READY TO GO DOWN TO THE SURFACE?"
Mikheal: 7 + 7 (+8 PER) = 22
Good grief all of this snow is completely bullshit. Where do you even get this kind of snow? You peer around, looking for something resembling a landmark. You think you kind of see a lone mountain, smaller than the one you just leaped of of, to your right, but you can't be certain. In any case, you'd have to go a ways to get there. It's hard to tell how far though, what with the weather.
Chillax and make friends.
You spend the rest of the relatively short trip speaking with the rest of the bridge crew, who, after some initial nervousness, are quite friendly. They don't seem too great at small talk though, and just end up showing you around the bridge. The weapons console was good times though.
The captain eventually walks you out onto the deck. You can see a partially beached Prospitian Cruiser, as well a crystal formation that once came above water, but has obviously since been blasted apart. "The battle took place roughly four hours ago. We had a convoy of four ships, this Battleship, that Cruiser, a destroyer, which went down over there, and a Gunboat. The Dersites had a pair of Destroyers flanking three cargo ships. We thought they'd be relatively easy pickings... But the Destroyer exploded less than a minute after we opened fire. The Cruiser was pulling out of the battle, but beached after another explosion hit it's port side. We only took one hit in the skirmish, but we decided the best course of action would be to retreat. What do you plan to do?"
"Yeah, !t !s, I suppose. There's noth!ng l!ke !t where I l!ved, or I guess, used to l!ve. How often does your v!llage meet here? What usually gets d!scussed?" Emily wonders what Mimi is up to, hoping her passing idea of Mimi breaking things like a fictional elf-like character didn't actualize. She could contact Mimi on her laptop, but she doesn't want to offend or be rude to the salamander showing her around. It is for this same reason she never questions its gender.
"We don't call meetings often, but when we do lately, it's usually to discuss the fruit shortage. It's really quite the problem. No one seems to have any ideas of what we should do. Luckily, we don't really need to eat too much. Glub."

You decide to shoot off in the direction of the mountain. You can take a measly bit of snow. As you get closer, you realize that it is, in fact, a dead volcano, rather than a proper mountain. More importantly, there is a gate just above it.

Oh right, those douchebags. Yeah, I guess we should make sure they're not murdering each other, even though they're not entirely relevant to the story right now.
CA: Be murdering everyone.
What? Why the hell would you do that? I mean, yeah, TB's being an arse by not letting you even try to jump into the session, but you're not exactly to the point of murder yet! Especially since you have a plan to get around his interventions. It just involves a bit of.... sneaking about, is all. Nothing evil... really... okay maybe a little bit. But you really need to get down there and talk to those guys, especially the Mage... eh, what was his name... Oh, you'll remember later. Right now, you need to get your plan to work.
TB: Be of differing opinion.
Of course you're of differing opinion. You're of the opinion that CA has completely lost his marbles trying to enter a session guarded by a powerful, albeit a bit dim, but still powerful knight; and provided with so much bullshit from interloping that you can't even keep track of it all. If they're going to succeed, you need them to succeed with their Seer, not yours. That and you really would rather not run the risk of getting thrown through a defense portal back to prehistoric Earth. Fighting dinosaurs isn't exactly your forte.
TE: Be oblivious.
You wish you could. But you can't, because your untapped Mind powers are slowly driving you insane, especially since you're seeing bits and pieces of people's thoughts and plans fly by. And you mean that in as literal of a sense as you can. Right now, you're curled up in a corner, hiding from one of CA's dreams and hoping it doesn't murder you, even though you're pretty sure it can't. You think. Maybe.
Theros: Realize these guys still need proper names.
Um. Well, shit. Any suggestions?

You take a quick glance around to see if you can spot Mimi, but you don't see her. Uh-oh. Well, hopefully she didn't go to far.
"What's meat? And I can't really think of anything interesting to show you. Except maybe the fraymotif shop."

Theros: Use EXPOSITIONTECH LEVEL 3: WALL OF TEXT.
CA: Be Zaeran Kelona.
Ugh, fine. Your name is ZAERAN KELONA, the SEER OF THEORY, and you are the sole TROLL on the asteroid. As a result, you are the resident expert on all things ROMANTIC, since other species' romance systems are all bullshit. You hate it, though, especially because a certain human keeps trying to understand troll culture and failing miserably. You were ejected into the VOID BETWEEN SESSIONS by a small mishap with your Quest Bed, which also conveniently resulted in your attaining of GOD TIER. However, your dreamself was, due to shenanigans, also ejected from your session. As a result, you have continual NIGHTMARES from entering dreambubbles without any form of self-defense. As for:
>CA: Reveal why you flipped out when Alex's Bro got executed. That was you, right?that was mostly due to the method of the rather tragic death of your lusus, a few of your teammates, and several unfortunate imps. You think you'll explain more later when you're actually talking to the Mage instead of to the fourth wall. You're still working on that, though.
TB: Be Jack Spat.
Ugh, fine, but you hate that name. You are now JACK SPAT, the ROGUE OF TIME, and you are the sole HUMAN on the asteroid. You HATE YOUR NAME, because it sounds like something a stupid prick would be named. You aren't entirely sure why you haven't ditched all the other chumps who call you this, since they'd probably be toast without your time-travel and hacking capabilities. You consider for a moment that you're lonely, and then your INTERNET EGO shudders and pushes that train of thought deep into the recesses of your mind where it won't be called back again until the plot deems it crucial. You were ejected into the VOID BETWEEN SESSIONS due to a mishap with one of your teammates using their Cannonkind strife specibus a little too zealously. However, before this incident, you managed to reach God Tier, mostly by hacking into the game code to give yourself awesome powers. Your guardian, your CAT, died an unceremonious death by meteor. You didn't give a shit, since the stupid thing had it coming and you hated its guts for ruining your keyboards. Right now, you're about to go check on TE to make sure he hasn't gone and committed suicide or something, since you haven't seen the poor guy in... years? Months? Time's a little wonky out here.
TE: Have an unpronounceable and untypable name.
Sure. Most organics can't really pronounce or spell your name, since it requires the presence of three throats to make the right noises and there aren't exactly letters in most common languages for the aforementioned noises. Most people just call you Phlegm after you tell them your name, although you really can't fathom why.
Anyways, you are PHLEGM and you are the sole EXTRATERRESTRIAL OF DUBIOUS ORIGIN on the asteroid. Seriously, that's the species' full name. This makes you the resident expert on all things STRANGE, RIDICULOUS, and GENERALLY A BAD IDEA. This has actually saved your ass from your angry compatriots more times than you would like to admit. You never really had a guardian, since your culture mandated that everyone be released into the wild to fend for themselves once they were old enough to see. This sort of initiation process makes your species one which EVOLVES very, very quickly, so it's not surprising whatsoever that you may have had latent psychic abilities that didn't kick in until now. Or maybe it's just crazy things from Sburb, since as the PAGE OF MIND, you were probably supposed to do something... mind-y? Maybe? You'll never know, because you were unceremoniously removed from your session by way of attempting to use a CRUXITE WEAPON, resulting in your being teleported to a separate 2-player session with an imp as your co-player. Your two meteor-compatriots burst into the session which was already doomed to fail and saved your ass, although they seem to constantly remind you that they don't know why they did that. Anyways, right now, you're still curled into a corner, hoping that CA's latest nightmare doesn't find you.

Well, the house is certainly smaller than yours. Or rather, it was before Sburb. It goes up quite some ways, unlike yours, but it is far more narrow. You'll have to go inside to find out more.

You manipulate your armlet, flinging yourself into the past. Unfortunately, in said past, there was no boat where you are standing! You fall into the water. After struggling for a few moments, you return to the water's surface. You see a few Purple vessels approaching. Coming from the opposite direction, you spot the Prospitian fleet described to you earlier. You should get to a nearby vantage point. There is a nearby crystal formation.
Alternatively, you could observe the battle from the water. However, such an action would be potentially unsafe, to say the least.

Kind of, I suppose. Also, I'll take your command to mean you head inside the house.
You are assailed by the distinctive sense of girl. At least one lives here. You take a look around, and find a bookshelf fairly soon. A quick perusal of the titles reveals the owner has a predilection for both were creatures, and also a healthy interest in texts on certain natural laws. Oh, and a stack of video games.
>Swim over to the outcropping. Hide yourself there. Keep it(Meaning yourself) secret. Keep it(Meaning yourself) safe.
You position yourself carefully on the crystal, hide yourself like an artifact level ring, and wait. The next few minutes are extremely tense. For a brief moment, you get the sensation that someone is watching you, and you turn around, but there is nothing there. You return to your vigil just as the lead Prospitian ship opens fire. Not moments after, the there is a great explosion beneath the sea (at least, you're assuming that's what happened. A whole bunch of water sprayed up in any case.) The ship sinks in short order, and the battle continues as you were informed it would.
Unfortunately, you didn't see what caused the explosion! Curious.
"Eh, the bugger'll be fine. And if he's not, that's his problem. ONWARD!"
I'll continue the saga of the meteor chumps tomorrow or something, I'm tired
And that settles that. The party leaps through the gate, and into the ridiculously sweltering heat of the surface of LoPaV. Seriously, this is outrageous. At least the jackets mitigate the heat somewhat.
Before anyone can decide where to go, BT appears, apparently having followed right after you. Though his face remains as impossible to see as ever, you can be sure he is glowering at you.

Sigh. Do some time looping to have a timeclone watch the battle and report back to me. Or just find a better safe spot.
You find another appropriate outcropping of crystal, move to it, hide yourself, and head back to the beginning of the battle. The results are just the same, and as mystifying as before. The explosion comes from beneath the waves, and you have no idea what caused it.
Whatever this mystery weapon is, it's obviously giving Derse the upper hand by a wide margin. You absolutely must find out what it is.

You don't get to re-make alchemies. It just isn't a thing.
You look around, and soon enough, you find the alchemy gear. Unfortunately, it appears the occupant didn't make anything that they deemed worthless that you wouldn't either. You haven't killed any imps lately either, so you doubt you have grist to make things for yourself.
>Again. Except underwater.
Making certain to be far enough from the doomed ship's eventual position to be safe, you enter the water again, take position, and rewind time again.
This time, you see it. A torpedo whistles up and detonates against the under-side of the hull of the ship you've been watching this whole time. You look back down the trail it made as it was propelled through the water, and see a purple submarine. No wonder they couldn't tell what hit them.

If it makes you feel better it took me about 10 hours to draw, and I've had lots of practice with my tablet over the past year. I spent most of my summer and semester 1 of university just drawing whenever I had a minute.

Wait lemme come up with a compliment that's adequate for this.Spoiler: Adventures in the Land of Pearls and Volcanoes (click to show/hide)
Um.
I like it. I'm trying to elaborate on that statement and don't quite know how. Uhhhh the coloring is certainly better than what I can do as a whole? Sure that'll do. I suck at compliments.
Speaking of arting, I worked on Troy earlier today (but was interrupted), wherein I rediscovered my disdain for geometric shapes. He will indeed be on a ship, which has a bonus (for me) of obscuring the foot on the leg that'll be straight, of which the area from the calf to the foot is hard to draw. lazy arting ftw
That could go in the OP, really./jealous

"Hmm. Well, I guess you can think on that while we go towards the gate. Maybe if we see a lava pump we can smash it or something."I think this got missed. Or Alex just didn't have anything to say about it. But I'd rather make sure it wasn't missed.

Mimi was at a loss for artifact-hunting. She hadn't hit any leads on any of the planets she'd been on so far, and asking around wasn't of much help. That's when it hit her.
>Mimi: Check the map of your own planet you got a while back. See if it mentions artifacts or curious structures anywhere.
Unfortunately, it only tells you where your various gates go.
"Oh, whoops. Wrong house. Have you seen a blonde girl that looks like she could maybe hurt someone?"
The salamanders shake their heads in unison.
"Captain y00u c00uld mke use 00f depth charges. let me explain. when y00u ping a dersite submarine y00u launch explosives in the area that expl00de at vari00us depths t00 either deter 00r sink their submarine."
"Perhaps you should have the communications officer help you send a message to command to get some of this equipment into production. Those dersites are going to be in for a hell of shock when we can see those subma-things coming."
>Mikheal: Second Gate.
You start climbing. Resistance begins light and unremarkable, but as you continue upward, it gets more dense and difficult, until eventually the DM has to actually make up a map. Oh look, bad guys to fight.
(http://tnypic.net/55a08.png)
Roll initiative.
>LoPaV group: See a group of enemies in the not too distant distance.
You spot a few basilisks and several giclopsi up ahead, near a lava river. "UH... DO WE WANT TO GO AROUND?"
You can all choose to avoid the encounter, which'll tack time onto the trip, or roll initiative.
"Why would there be a place that sells expens!ve !tems that only one person can use? And why hasn't the storeowner tr!ed us!ng them the!rself?"
The salamander shrugs. "I don't really know. It seems pretty silly to most of us, but the shop owner keeps himself out of trouble, so we don't really mind too much."
OOC: Sorry I haven't been posting much, I've been hanging out with friends and job hunting a lot lately. It's spring break over here, which means a lot of my friends are a lot less busy than usual.
Plus I'm juggling this with a turn at Deathgate, so I've got a lot to do. Also, excellent work on the group shot Fool.

The group springs into action, charging at the group of enemies. BT shoots out ahead of the rest of the group with his rocket boots, and attacks the pair of giclops at the back of the path.
Initiative as follows:
Alex
Imp5
Danielle
Imp4
Claire
Imp1
Imp2
Imp8
Imp6
Steve
Imp3
Fire Basilisk
Giclops
Imp7
Ghost Basilisk
Alex moves toward the group of enemies, and keeps his guard up, used to the attack methods of the imps and Basilisk.
One of the imps wades into the lava river, and comes out the other side, and throws a fireball at Alex. Alex performs a successful AUTO-PARRY, and the fireball detonates against the ground.
(http://tnypic.net/6a638.png)
Notes on the map: Orange colored squares are part of the lava river, and, naturally, should probably be avoided.

Half of the imps swarm toward you, and a mace wielding Knight imp gets there first. He clocks you with it, dealing ten damage.
A meteor imp and a bondage imp try to get to you, but neither is close enough to get you. Yet.
A sword imp also attacks you, but you catch the strike against your massive sword.

Yes, but you have your Luccent Katana in your sylladex hand, so you could use it as well as it's associated power if you so desired.
Imps. Imps everywhere.

6+1+10(I think, been a while since combat)=17.
In this particular case, your base accuracy would be 9, not 10, as it is affected by your pre-roll as well as range and damage.
You move toward the Basilisk, and open your book at it. A rocket whizzes out, and dives into the lava river. Shit.
Another imp wades through the river of molten stone, and throws a fireball at Danielle. It goes wild, and soars into the distance.
> Claire: 8 steps northwest.
You move toward some of the imps.
Imp 1 is prepared to meet you halfway, and throws a fireball at you before scooting up next to you. You take 14 damage from the ensuing explosion.
Imp 2 gets behind you, now flanking you with Imp 1. It claws your back, dealing 6 damage.
Imps 8 and 6 move closer, but do not cross the river.
(http://tnypic.net/3645b.png)
Communicate with Communications officer. Lets get some charges.
You dictate a message to the communications officer, who fires it off to Prospit. A few minutes later, he receives a message, prints it out, and asks if you'd please take it to the Captain.
"Oh...? What's the symbol for Space, then?"
>Blade: Provide exhaustive list of available fraymotifs
BM: What? No. I'm leaving what people name their Fraymotifs up to them, mostly because they're 98% fluff. I think John had a template up a while ago.
The salamander narrows his eyes at you in what you think is a rude and suspicious way, and points to one of the tablets, specifically one of the dual-engraved ones. It has a symbol that reminds you of a spiral arm galaxy.
>Mikheal: Smack around the Mace Imp
10 + 9 + 2 = 21
You crush the armored imp, bringing forth a small pile of grist.
Another mace wielding imp steps forward, and takes a swing at you. You wind up hit in the leg, and take another ten damage.
The other sword imp charges forward, and swipes at you with his deadly blade. It hits, dealing 6 damage. You are now at half health.
As two more imps hurry to join the battle, the basilisk steps into view and ogles you. You stare it down, and it shrinks back.
Meteor Imp number 2 moves toward you, and swings a claw at you. Your armor doesn't protect you from the hammer-like blow, and you take another 6 damage.
The first sword imp to attack you also attacks again, and you are unable to parry his strike this time. You take an additional 6 damage. You have 16 health.

"What's the other engraving stand for?" Mimi was delighted at this new information.
The salamander huffs. "Obviously, it is the symbol of the Legendary Hero of Breath." You can hear the capatilizations.
Take a peek at the message and hand it over to the good captain.
The message contains orders for the Captain (as well as all other captains in the area) to immediately cease all offensive action pending a delivery of new equipment. You hand this message to the Captain, who nods, and tells the helmsman to cut the engines. He turns back to you. "We're going to be dead in the water for a while, Troy. I'm afraid we won't be able to assist you for some time, there's too much Derse activity, and we don't know how many submarine ships they have. But if there is anything we can do in the meantime, please, let us know."
This would be a nice time for an AOE attack.
Mikhael: BE THE KNIGHT.
(That hits everything around me and heals me, right?)
It hits up to three enemies around you, and allows you or an ally to use their second wind as a free action.
You flip the fuck out, eviscerating three of the imps surrounding you, and recovering from the volley of attacks they threw at you earlier. You now have 40 hit points.
The remaining sword imp counter-attacks, hitting you for 6 damage.
One of the imps with the zipperlips rounds the far corner, and advances on you.
The basilisk moves forward, and tries a bite attack, considering that its gaze attack was horribly ineffective. It clamps onto your upper body and shakes you around, dealing a pittance 6 damage. Good thing you were wearing that armor!
The meteor imp moves closer and attempts to punch you in the snout. You dodge, denying it superiority.
The remaining bondage imp does nothing, because everyone else is hogging the good spots from which to fight you.

The salamander informs you that this Fraymotif is one of a set of two, and both are required.
He also tells you that this half will run you 16 trillion boondollars.
You're pretty sure your ceramic porkhollow never has, and never will contain that kind of cash. I mean, goddamn.

"There is one not too far from here." The captain considers for a moment, then turns to an aide. "Alert the crew. We're escorting the Hero of Time to the nearest gate." He turns back to you.

You move towards your foes.
Another imp wades across the river, prepared to attack.
The basilisk steps toward Danielle and attacks, biting her for 9 damage.
The Giclops thuds towards the group, and the ground shakes at its thunderous approach.
One of the imps and the ghost basilisk draws nearer as well.
Far from the rest of the fight, BT and the pair of giclops slug it out.
Alex runs at the basilisk and leaps into the air, before striking the ground with his axe. A wave of dark red energy lashes out at the imp near Claire, as well as the basilisk. The imp is obliterated, and the basilisk suffers 34 damage and is dazed. Alex looks as surprised as anyone.
Imp 5 moves over to Danielle and slaps at her with a burning hand. She dodges away easily.
RL: Switch back to your stronger halberd. Then... FRUIT CRUSHER
Aimed at the basilisk, of course. Kill the big things first.
6+9+11=26.
Undeterred by the heat from the two burning underlings before you (though taking a total of 13 damage from them), You hit the basilisk, but only just, hitting it for 41 damage
Imp 4 moves to Alex and attacks, hitting him for 6 damage.

You move toward three imps, and hit the first one with your tonfa, slamming it into the one behind it, converting both into grist.
Also, when you roll doubles, you need to mention whether or not you pursue the affront.
The fire basilisk attacks Danielle again, biting her for 11 damage. She is now bloodied.
The giclops draws near, and Alex swings at it with Rage Feuled Reflexes, but the strike does nothing. It punches Alex with an enormous fist, doing 12 damage.
The last imp crosses the lava river.
The ghost basilisk stays where it is, and uses its disconcerting Ogle on Steve. He pulls his ninja hood down over his eyes to evade.
Alex roars, and pulls his axe around in an arc, releasing a storm of energy. One of the imps is hit and destroyed, and both the fire and ghost basilisks are hit for 21 damage. Additionally, all of the enemies around the group are moved to the north.

OOC: As far as I'm concerned, on the new mage power description for Psionic Maelstrom (I can't do the little pitchforky thing), the Hit effect and the Effect of the attack are in the opposite spots. As it stands, it's kind of overpowered as it is, since it basically rearranges the battlefield in addition to causing a fair bit of damage, even if it's semi-difficult to hit with.

You cannot be the one because Morpheous hasn't shown up yet to offer you a choice!
Nah, just kidding. You tear into your enemies once again with a fervor that would put lesser adolescents to shame. The sword imp evades your attack, but the meteor imp is destroyed outright, and the basilisk takes a fair bit of damage.
Another imp steps forward to take the place of the meteor imp, and attacks you, poorly. You easily evade.
The sword wielding imp attacks, hitting you for six damage. You're bleeding again.
The basilisk bites you again, dealing another 11 damage. You have 11 health remaining total.

"I wouldn't say I'm completely serious unless you asked if I was serious. In fact, if you asked the correct questions, I would provide you adequate answers." Mimi smiled. "Anyway, this is the fraymotif shop. I don't know what they do, but this one at least has my symbol on it."
She pointed to the Space+Breath fraymotif. "They're also outrageously expensive. I would have to hollow out my porkhollow further just to contain the necessary boondough."

CA: Run like shit.
You're doing that. So very much. You don't even know what happened, but if someone gives you that deranged look and mentions feeding and flesh and bones, it's generally bad for the health of those in the general vicinity. So you're running haphazardly around the meteor, and oh hey it's TB should probably warn him-
"WH/\7 7HE HELL D|D YOU DO?!?"
-okay maybe not
TB: Start chasing CA.
Bastard's gotta be guilty, he's even running away from you! And he's running straight toward the... oh GOD no.
CA: Run into the Antenna.
Oh hey, it's that antenna thing TE rigged up so you guys could send IMs. You always wondered why you weren't allowed to look at this thing. You've got a good head start on the crazed nutjobs, maybe you could take a look at it.
Wait... NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE. This thing shouldn't even be STANDING!
Antenna: Stop standing.
I thought I voiced my dissent of narrating for inanimat- OW. Okay! Fine! Sheesh!
You are now the Antenna. You explode, rending the meteor into many fragments and adding a good amount of velocity to each and every one.
Fragment One: Be carrying TE. Crash course with LoCaC.
Another inani- don't hit me again please! I'll shut up!
You are now Meteor Fragment One, carrying a deranged alien in the general direction of the Land of Castles and Conflict. Estimated impact within, say, a couple minutes.
Fragment Two: Be carrying TB. Crash course with LoPaM.
You are now Meteor Fragment Two, carrying the Rogue of Time who is currently wondering what the shit just happened. Estimated impact the same as Fragment One.
Fragment Three: Be carrying CA. Crash course with LoPaV.
You are now Meteor Fragment Three, carrying an unconscious and badly burned Seer of Theory, heading straight toward a certain lava planet. Estimated impact similar to the previous two for author convenience.
Fragment Four: Be carrying most of the crap those three accumulated over their wandering, as well as the remains of the Antenna. Crash course with the Battlefield.
Fragment Four, the one carrying all the legendary weapons, corpses, and god-knows-what-else the three wanderers accumulated over their journey, collides with the Battlefield, scaring the living tar out of a certain Wandering Villager.
Everything else from the meteor: Get eaten by Skaia's defense system.
All the rest of the meteor-bits disappear into portals into Earth's past/future, and will likely not have any plot significance from now on. (YEAH RIGHT.)
Wandering Villager: Investigate.
Oh that thing better not have razed your crops you mean it isn't even supposed to be raining meteors yet and oh hey what is all this. There are... THERE ARE CROWNS IN THIS THING. You are vividly reminded of just how much you really hate royalty. You don't even have words for it. You just really hate royalty.
Maybe you could hide some of this. Use it to rebel. Yes, that sounds like a very good idea...

Danielle uses her second wind, and recovers to full health.
Imp number 4 advances, and hits Claire for 6 damage. Claire is now at 22 of 48 hit points, and is bloodied.

Claire takes seven points of damage from starting her turn next to the imp, then cuts it in twain. She steps left, behind Steve and catches her breath, bringing herself up to 39 hit points.
Imp 6 moves closer to Steve but cannot attack as well, as it is stunned.
Unfortunately, it only needs to be near Steve to hurt him with its flame aura. He takes seven points from the heat before stepping toward the enemies and dispatching imp 7.
The Fire basilisk locks eyes with Alex, hoping to freeze him to the spot, but fails.
Though stunned, the Giclops closes range with the group.
The Ghost Basilisk, also stunned, only moves toward Claire.
Alex takes 7 damage from starting his turn next to the Giclops, and is now bloodied. He expends his second wind, and slams his axe into the Giclops foot, dealing 20 damage.
The creature does not flinch.

This would be a nice time for an AOE attack.
Mikhael: BE THE KNIGHT.
(That hits everything around me and heals me, right?)
It hits up to three enemies around you, and allows you or an ally to use their second wind as a free action.
No, they aren't. Though you can use Be the Knight's healing effect if you've already used your second wind, but not the other way around.

You travel back in time a ways. Apparently, this ransacking took place later, as things are more or less neat and orderly in this timeframe. You don't spot anyone, so you hop around the timeline for a while, looking for whoever is here. Eventually, you spot a girl with an orange top and long brown hair heading up the staircase just as you show up.

You swing your blade at the basilisk, dealing 18 damage. Unfortunately, it is still very much alive.
The bondage imp attacks you again, dealing another six points of damage. The sword imp also attacks, but you evade his slash.

TE's meteor crashes into an outpost near the mountains of LoCaC, resulting in shrapnel flying everywhere. TE gets launched off the meteor chunk by the force of it, and in the blur of a crash that follows, he ends up pinned to a cliff through his chest by a rather large piece of shrapnel. He passes out. Again. Sheesh, it's like all the guy is good fo- OW OKAY MOVING ON
TB's meteor lands right outside the fraymotif shop, crushing a couple of poor salamanders. He climbs out of the wreckage, swearing like a sailor and oblivious to the horrified salamanders, all of whom are either staring in awe or running in panicked fear.
CA's meteor lands in a volcano. Sploosh. CA swims around in the lava before finding where it outlets into a river, and climbs on to a pearly riverbank. He then dies, as he should have like 5 minutes ago due to burns, wounds from the explosion, and lava-swimming. His corpse begins to glow as the powers that be decide that his death was neither heroic nor just, and he revives.
The Wandering Villager brings back a small weapons stockpile to his hut in the village, being careful to conceal it all within a cart containing some of the singed remains of his plants. He hides the weapons in various stashes around his humble abode, waiting for the day when his rebellion should strike.

You leap back and fire your handcannon at the basilisk, but the shot only serves to ventilate the wall behind the beast. Whoops.
The bondage imp steps forward and swipes a clawed hand at Mikhael. It hits him, dealing 6 damage, and knocking him unconscious.
>The Knight is Dead.
Have you lost your Mind? Yes, he's hurt, and he's down, but if Troy can defeat the underlings before Mikhael fails three fortitude saves or reaches negative his bloodied value, he'll be fine. He'll need to take a long rest though. Near death experiences are rough on a body.
The sword imp moves forward to attack Troy, but the Hero of Time blocks the sword with his bat.
The basilisk moves forward and bites Mikhael. The prone Knight takes another 11 damage. Mikhael has -12 hit points and has failed zero foritude saves.
Riccto, your previously chosen action is now somewhat impossible, please revise.

Hey Blade, can you at least Shift my Corpse around? Its not like it'll change much, seeing that its likely I would've KO'd anyway and I am not really going to hit the Basilisk.
Or maybe Troy could just shove my body down the stairs to get it out of the way.
It's up to Riccto whether or not Troy burns an action tossing you down a flight of friendship stairs or just gets all up in the underlings collective grills to distract them from mauling you to death.

He disappears into the distance, and a few seconds later you hear a satisfying 'WHOOMPH'.

No, no, it's just I had to not post your turn because you had no way to scourge charge the bondage imp anymore. And tossing Mikhael's ass down the stairs would be a standard action so if you do that, you can't attack this turn.

Friendship. Toss.
You whip Mikhael down the stairs in the friendliest way possible. If those underlings want to get at him, they'll have to go through you first.
Mikhael makes his saving throw this round. He is currently at -12 hit points, and has failed no saves.
The bondage imp moves forward and grabs at you, and though you don't allow it to restrain you (You can only imagine with horror what would happen then), your efforts to escape result in 6 damage.
The sword imp attacks as well, slicing at your arm. You take another 6 damage.

Achieve the power of the SUPER SAYIAN. or just double attack.
[9,10]+11=30

Your bald, midget best friend hasn't been exploded by a space tyrant, so you just double attack instead, dispatching both imps before you.
The remaining bondage imp is beginning to think attacking you is a poor decision, considering between you and Mikhael, he's the only imp left here.
Mikhael is still losing blood, and slips into shock. He has -12 hit points, and has failed one of the three fortitude saves.
The basilisk is as confident as ever though, and approaches you, gnashing its teeth. Despite your lousy footing on the stairs, you dodge its attack as it tries to bite you.

You move to the left and attack the basilisk. Your first attack is dodged, but it was really just a set-up for your second strike, which- Goes straight through. The basilisk laughs in that asshole way that only ghosts do.
The last imp scoots south and attacks Claire. Your arm is now sporting a nasty burn. At least your jacket held up. You take 6 damage.

BRUTAL AFFRONT CONFIRMED.
You clobber the basilisk for 27 points of damage.
Mikhael fails another fortitude save. If he fails again... Consequences.
The basilisk looks pretty pissed now. And from the way it is biting you right now, you think it may be ganking Mikhael's good rolls. You take 7 damage. The map hasn't changed, so i won't re-post it.

Sweet Syrupy lady. We need to make sure that Sir McFightsAlot (Clever I know) doesnt bleed out. I mean me fighting the basilisk isnt a problem. Its just making sure that GK doesnt die. Huh. How many rounds would it take to stabilize GK? Or does the encounter have to end?
If the combat ends, then you can stabilize him instantly in game terms.
Otherwise, you need to make a successful... Let's say Science Skill check. Usually, it would be a Healing Check, but this system doesn't have that.
Oh wait, you have Fruit Gushers in your hand! That'd stabilize him as a minor action-If you move to him. Otherwise, athletics check to throw them to him, still a minor action.

The basilisk intercepts your attack with its armored plates. You only deal 3 points of damage.
But that's not important! You throw a package of fruit gushers at Mikhael, and they land right in his mouth. The restorative effects take place immediately.
The basilisk attacks again, biting you for another 10 points of damage. You have reached the bloodied stage, and have only 25 hit points remaining.

>Steve: Reapin' Justice time
I'll just use my old numbers since it's the same number of enemies for the same kind of attack.
26 and 20.
You take 14 damage from the fire auras.
You spin your tonfa, clobbering the last imp, and possibly annoying the prone Giclops. You do 12 damage to him, at any rate.
The fire basilisk steps toward you, and bites you, hard. You take 11 damage. You are at 10 hit points and bloodied.
The giclops stands again, and roars. Looks like it's going to do something...
The Ghost basilisk becomes corporeal again, and bites Claire. She takes 6 damage.
Alex moves toward Steve and the fire basilisk, and cracks it upside the head with a mighty axe swing. It is destroyed in a puff of grist.
RL: HALBERD SMASH
3+3+irrelevant. The Brutal Affront pile might not stop from getting taller. Or my RNG is broken. Maybe both.
You prepare to swing your mighty halberd at the giclops, but accidentally slip on the tiny pearls that litter Alex's land. You fall on your ass and take 5 damage. Whoops.
> Claire: Shift right, then brutalize imp and/or giclops.
[6,10 + 11] = 27
[2,1 + 11] = 14
You move toward the Giclops and slash with your mighty blade. It takes 19 damage. You go for a follow up swing, but it bounces off the Giclops' thick hide. You missed with Scorpion's strike, so you can't use it next turn.

>Steve: Shift up and receive your Second Wind before the fire cook you
You take seven damage from starting your turn in the Giclops' fire aura, so you take step back from the battle and catch your breath. You now have 24 hit points.
The giclops pulls an arm back, and swings it around in a sweeping motion. Alex and Claire are both knocked away, Each taking 12 damage. They are also each knocked prone. Claire is down to 15 hp. The giclops then moves toward Danielle and punches her. She takes 18 damage.
The ghost basilisk attacks Alex while he is down, biting him for 7 damage.
On the other side of the magma river, BT finishes the remaining Giclops.
Alex stands up, and attacks the Basilisk (using his double or nothing power after his first roll was a failure), and hitting it for 16 damage.

Yes they are. And if he gets away, you can't go after him because of arbitrary battlemap rules, and also because you shouldn't leave someone as beat up as Mikhael lying unattended at the base of a flight of friendship stairs.

You run up to the giclops and slash at its legs, dealing 13 damage. It doesn't seem fazed by this development.
>Steve: Shift left and hit the basilisk when it comes back.
[10,5+13] = 28
You step toward the basilisk and whack it upside the head with your tonfa. Your attack deals 14 damage. The Basilisk hisses angrily at you.
The Giclops swings a huge arm at Claire, who luckily ducks. The Giclops also fails to adjust his attack or defense pattern, so the defensive decrease from Danielle's manual persists.
The basilisk bites at Steve, but the Sage's training prepared him for ghost snake things. Well, indirectly, anyway.
BT turns around and speeds toward the group, covering the distance quickly.
Alex attacks the basilisk while it is pre-occupied with Steve, slaying it.

You charge toward the giclops, and hit it with all the force you can muster. The monster takes another 17 damage. It still doesn't budge. This thing is ridiculously strong!
It swings another massive arm at you, but you duck beneath the burning appendage.
Things are starting to look pretty desperate right up until BT finishes his flight across the battlefield, and severs the head of the giclops with an impressively large sword. Grist is every goddamn place.
Alex leans back and sits on the ground, exhausted.

It was a reference to the really old Oregon Trail game. Out of all the options when crossing a river fording the river was the worst. Fording the river was hilarious because your caravan might be carrying nothing but grandfather clocks, which means that they'd have to carry the clocks over their heads. :P
I grew up on floppy disk games in grade 1 since we had old Apple II's, so I wouldn't feel bad for not catching that obscure reference. It was the best game for the Apple II. You could die for the stupidest reasons. It was kind of like an early DF with less ASCI art I suppose.

I guess I'll try to make walking sprites? I suck though.
Yeah, I haven't figured out how to get around this one yet. I call the animation code and the movement code at approximately the same time, so right now moving diagonally is just constantly flipping back and forth between vertical and horizontal. I think I'll take diagonal movement out entirely, actually.

Wonderful Apples! Also. Secret....Long-haired Troy was never my creation. My original plan for Troy was lost in all the bustle of the early thread. But I've learned to love this Troy.His sprite had long hair so I went with it. It's good you like the long hair though-- in my headcanon, Troy is kewl. Not sure about cool, but certainly kewl. I mean just look at those shades and that expression. Well, the one on his sprite, anyway. Claire is the kewlgirl. Yes, my headcanons are mostly based off of Jervous's sprites.

I don't know what format to save in for transparency, so I just made the background a loud, garish pink that should be easily deleted. I hope. Like SirAaron, I like my front and back ones more than my sides. Dunno why.
391254 boondollars is our current total after that recent spree of monsters. That's a little under 100000 until the next level. So, everyone kill two giclops a piece, and we're golden! I'll throw them all at whoever gets into the next battle, to save time.
Or, you know, start seeking and taking quests. That's another good (and, to be honest, faster and safer probably) way to gain exp.

Great sprites everybody. Also, to the 16x32 vs. 16x23 thing: I only make the actual image size some multiple of 16x32 to keep the sprite sheet loader happy. That's a quick fix, though, and it's not a problem if you want to make your sprites smaller.
As for front-view, I don't recall one, but just remember that TB has black hair and greenish-yellow kamina glasses. That's all you need to know. Or maybe it isn't, because I've forgotten his god tier symbol.

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.

Actually... Now that you take a better look at it, this sword could definitely use some TLC. In any case, it is certainly not usable as is.
Still. It is obvious to see that, while tarnished now, this was a very powerful weapon. At some point, anyway.
Emily et entourage: Arrive at ancient factory.
Wow, this place looks old with a capital O. It looks a fair bit larger than the other factories you've seen, and more run-down. It looks like it's been here a while. There are trees nearby it, as with all of the factories, but the ones near this factory look... Different. More varied, somehow. The fruits are the most distinct, being a fair bit different in many aspects from the ones you've already seen, depending on the tree.

A few minutes of rocketwork later, the team is safely over the lava river. The group makes their way closer to the gate. Soon, the mountain it sits atop comes into view.
"THERE IT IS. NOT A WHOLE LOT FARTHER NOW."
TB: TIMEJUMP to the past. Observe the factory in its beginnings.
You use your time-powers to move back to the factory when it was new. You end up going quite a ways back, nearly a millennium. This factory, in this time plane, is the only one you can see. There are lush trees everywhere, all sporting that large, purple, waxy fruit the salamanders live on.

>Mimi: Enter factory and prepare for anything.
"F!ne, let's go."
>CT: Follow Mimi.
You open the door to the factory, and are immediately assailed with dust. A huge cloud of it blows out of the old factory, as if the whole place had been under pressure. Once the gust subsides, you enter the factory. Or, at least, what appears to be a lobby of sorts.
There are tables, what appears to be some kind of vending machine, and every inch of wallspace is occupied by the strange, untranslatable runes you've encountered in other places.
There's another door at the far end of the room, presumably leading to the factory proper.
Head up to the gate
>Mikheal: Proceed to the Gate
The two of you make your way toward the gate, in spite of Mikhael's injuries. The next few floors are eerily empty after the previous encounter.
With two floors to go, you hear underlings one floor up. At least, you think you do.
Note: If Mikhael participates in any battles before he recovers, he'll be fighting with several disadvantages:
1. He will have no Second Wind for the Encounter.
2. He will start the battle bloodied.
3. He will have the 'weakened' status, halving all damage he does.
4. He will have the 'slowed' status, making his speed three.
>Alex: Lead the way up the hill/mountain.
You spot a footpath, and set about going up the hill. It occurs to you that this is probably how the game meant for you to get through the gate the first time. Maybe you'd have been better off if you hadn't been there when your brother...
Wait. No, you had to! Prospit showed you going through the gate on your rocketpack! But... Maybe you went through too soon? Urgh, thinking about this is a waste of time.
Oh look, the summit. This was quick. You turn to your companions. "LETS GO THROUGH QUICK, THIS HEAT IS RIDICULOUS."

What, again? You just happened like 30 minutes ago. You think it's about time Crap takes a turn.
Crap: Happen.
You are totally down with that. You get down to happenin' right this second.
Be TE.
You are now TE. You're pretty sure you're dead, but something feels wrong. Sort of like the feeling you got when you broke that cruxite weapon over that poor Imp's head. Like you broke some sort of higher law, and now nature is going to sling you into a shitty afterlife for it. Or maybe something worse, you can't tell, it all jsut hurts ithurts it HURTSithURts let us out lettusssFREEEE
Zarean: Something bad is about to happen.
Yeah, your Seer senses are going absolutely batshit crazy over here. As you near the shiny object, you very quickly realize that it's just a shiny pearl, not a gate. Shit. Well, maybe you can... Is that the Mind symbol up in Skaia? What's that doing ther-... what the hell? You weren't expecting him to ascend this soon, especially since you just saw him in the Land of... that's not the Knight, is it. Shit. Again.
Everyone: See the thing in Skaia. Have absolutely no idea what's going on.
You are now TB. You only barely have any idea of what's going on, but you aren't really surprised. You've seen enough ascensions that they're never a surprise. Although the double Mind symbol is a bit worrisome. You continue into the factory after you're sure Mimi and Emily didn't set off any lethal traps anyways.
You are now Danielle, and you have no idea what that glowing thing is, but it's probably going to suck. Goddamn Sburb.
You are now the Narrator, and you're not going to speak for everyone else's characters since that's a thing they're supposed to do on their own. Plus you're a bit lazy and don't want the wall of text to be too ginormous.
Phlegm: SPLIT ASCENSION
You are TE again, just for reference.
Your psyche splits in two as you ascend. Your sane half goes back to your original session, to your dreamself on Prospit. Your dreamglobe explodes, and you find yourself floating above the planet where you once dreamed as an eclipse nears, and your friends are about to fight the Black King. Well, you suppose it's never too late to rejoin the party, although you are slightly concerned that the Mind symbol on your chest is hollowed out compared to the one you've seen before, almost as though you're missing a vital piece. You jump down into the fray anyways, ready to help the team you lost so long ago.
The other half of you, the part you were supposed to tame and control as the Page, the part was created after you created your own session, the part that's generally deranged, the part containing a Title of its own, surpressed due to its nature and the fact that it's murderous in every sense of the word... That half goes to your other dreamself, salvaged from the remains of Derse in your second, broken session. That dreamself which is, currently, hidden under the floorboards of a certain Wandering Villager. You reach god-tier again, something goes truly and horribly wrong, and a beast is awoken.
A village is slaughtered; a Wandering Villager turned to a Weeping Vagrant, crying for those he knew, those he wished to help, as they were slaughtered by something he brought upon them.
The Prince of Mind is awake and has received an immortal body of his own, no longer sharing with the Page. And boy, is he pissed.

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. So yeah it's probably pretty bad.
TB: "Yeah, someone just ascended. Probably TE and GK from the looks of it. Fortunately, we kept TE's dreamself around, so he's either on your planet at some point in time, or he's still in the session somewhere. So it's probably not too big of a deal."

>YOU THERE. GIRL. GO THROUGH THE PORTAL.
Danielle moves through the gate, and finds herself just outside her home.
Meanwhile, back on LoPaV, "HEY, COME ON GUYS, LET'S GET THROUGH THE PORTAL." After reminding his friends of what they were doing, Alex hopped through the gate after Danielle.
"I think we should head further into the factory."
>Mimi: Head further into the factory.
"Whatever."
>CT: Follow.
The girls move through the far door, and into the main factory. The writing persists throughout the factory, at least as far as they can see. There is no lighting inside. Some light from outside still makes it in through the lobby, but it's very dark and dusty inside the factory. Large industrial shapes loom in the darkness. The air is dead and still, and the size of the room swallows all sound.

You pull out a couple of sticks of your chewing gum, and rub them together in an attempt to get them to light. At first, it appears nothing is going to happen, but for reasons inscrutable to anyone, they actually catch fire. Violently. You end up dropping them on the ground to keep yourself from burning your fingers. They don't give out a lot of light comparative to a flashlight, but it does lend shape to the shadows. You manage to recognize the shape you realize you are now standing next to is a three story version of that worm statue you spotted in the vending machine. It also occurs to you that this place needs a frickin' maid.

"HELLO? Are giant worms able to speak english?" Mimi made sure to yell very loudly just in case the giant worm was both alive and hard of hearing.
The statue neither stirs nor speaks. Apparently, it is not alive. That's good, you suppose. Well, in that it won't attack you. On the other hand, had it been both alive and friendly, you might have been able to gain some much needed information.

You and your group do that.

You begin sneaking your way up the stairs, hoping to get the drop on the enemies you can clearly hear. Unfortunately, they seem to be able to hear you about as well as you could hear them- There are several waiting near the landing as you crest the last few stairs.

>Mimi: Use the flashlight to search around for any switches, levers, contraptions or other items of use.
You start taking a better look around the factory. The layout is similar to the other factory you were in, but the machines themselves are different. As near as you can tell, it's set up to perform the same operation, manufacturing trees, but you'll be darned if you think could believe for a second this place could be automated, even if it did appear operational, which it did not. There are an abundance of levers along the conveyor belts and machines, but a few casual tests reveal that they are non-functional. No way to tell if it's due to a lack of power or just plain disrepair, and considering how old and dusty this place is, it might very well be either one.

Your battle instincts serve you well, and you leap into action as your opponents slowly assume battle position. You slam the War Bat into the nearest imp's head, and it's armor fails to protect it. A small dusting of grist is all that remains to mark your foe's passing.
The closer of the card imps and the remaining Knight imp move to attack you. Your weapon easily intercepts both attacks.

You employ your mighty instrument of war to crush the two imps who deigned to believe they could touch you. More grist litters the floor.
The remaining imp moves toward you, and slashes at you with sharp claws. He catches your upper arm, dealing 6 damage.
The Basilisk shoots a deadly gaze attack your way, and you accidentally look straight in its eyes. You take 7 damage and are immobilized until the end of your next turn.
The Ogre plods forward, and takes advantage of your immobile state to strike you for 13 damage. You are currently at 28 of 54 hit points, and one hit point from being bloodied.

You and Emily make your way back to the village. Things seem to have settled down after the meteor strike, thankfully. Perhaps too much, as one enterprising Salamander has set up a Lucy van Pelt style booth from where he appears to be selling pieces of meteor. Capitalism strikes again.

Additionally, you can choose to either deal another d8 of damage to the Ogre, or charge at the Basilisk and attempt a Basic Attack. Or Scourge's Charge, since you can use that in place of a basic attack at the end of a charge.

You idly collect grist as you mourn the EXP lost. Then you perk up again immediately, taking into account that when it comes to random encounters, there is always more where that came from.
Alex just seems relaxed the whole time, aside from the mild disconcertation whenever he sees structural damage likely caused by BT. Which is often.
"When did this all start? Do you have any idea what might have caused it?"

Being careful to avoid points of structural damage, the group ascends to the second gate. BT comes down from the floor above as you reach it, and lands silently. The gate pulses with a green light, waiting.

One by one, the group leaps through the portal, and into the jungle of Danielle's world. However, on the other side of the portal, neither Alex nor Danielle find a familiar sight. The whole area is withered and dead.
Mimi squints as she realizes one of the fundamental problems here.

"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.

Mimi pointed to sky outside the hut.

Steve took a few steps back, digging his heel into the ground. He took a deep breath and ran straight at the tree. He tried running up the side of the tree rather than climb by brute force. He'd just fall on his ass if tried pulling himself up. If he could just run far enough up to kick himself onto the first branch he'd be set.

Alex uses his modest accumulation of MANGRIT to hoist Steve up onto his shoulders, allowing the group's resident ninja to get a marginally better look around. The barest remains of paths leading to the west(?) and east(?) stretch away, but look more or less like the surrounding area, now that most of the lush vegetation is dry and dead.
It's really quite depressing.

Man. Do I get busy.
You deal an additional 8 damage (lucky!) to the Ogre. It appears to be very much on it's last legs.
The basilisk finally reaches you, either because it believes that the Ogre has properly softened you up, or that it won't be around much longer to distract you. Either way, it bites at you, closing its zipper on your sensitive torso for 15 damage (not lucky!). You are now bloodied.
The Ogre swings a mighty blade at you, which you sidestep despite your injury. Unless it gets extremely lucky, or you get very distracted, you are less than worried about being hit by that brute.
You have 25 hit points.

You tell the salamanders to wait outside, then head in. Amazingly, it seems that the factory is completely repaired! How bizarre. There are no signs of your previous devastation. The completed trees are still being stacked into a cart, apparently that being the end of the line of production.

You and the group begin trudging Northeast. More to follow, I gotta go out.
The group comes across a small, partially cleared field. There is a dead prospitian here, as well as a large pile of ash. The mingled scents of decay and burn waft through the air like an ungainly bird.
A barely identifiable path leads to the south after hooking around a large boulder.
Mimi pops out of the factory, a dumbfounded expression on her face. "Um..."

Post by: freeformschooler on June 03, 2012, 02:42:51 pm
"This is tricky. While it might be tempting to just pull yourself up onto the conveyor belts, that's pretty dangerous. And there's no way that you could be tall enough to reach the fruit on its own. So I have a suggestion."
She lightly took one of the salamanders in her arms and lifted it up above her head so it could grab fruit from the passing trees. "I won't always be around, though, so you'll have to lift each other - maybe forming a ladder among yourselves - to grab the fruit from the passing trees.

The salamander Mimi is holding up, however, takes a fruit from one of the plucked trees moving along the conveyor belt, and swallows it whole. It makes a satisfied 'glub' noise.

The boulder provides literally zero cover. On the plus side, aside from your friends, there is no one to see you surveying the landscape. Devastation continues in every direction, but, you believe you can see actual greenery a distance to the south. You also see a fair deal of movement, which you are guessing to be underlings.
RL: Search Prospitan, see if they had any info on where the Dersites are leading from. Then give Prospitan a proper burial.
The prospitian has nothing but his (her?) clothing, and what appear to be bite marks contributing to his (her?) death. No clues here.
Alex assists you in your attempt to bury the dead.
Hmm...

You look around for another room you may have missed, but the factory appears to consist solely of two rooms. You don't spot anything that could be repurposed simply either. To top it all off, you can't find an off switch.
The salamanders, for their part, attempt a different tactic, attempting to form a lizard pyramid to reach the fruit. This goes about as well as the previous attempt.

You dump out all the garbage you bought back during that sweet flash several pages ago. Man, why did you even buy all this? You decide it might be neat to see how high it would go if you piled it all up. After a few minutes of work, you realize that, as the pile is easily twice your size, you might have a shopping problem.
The salamanders dig into the pile, and after one of them makes a lucky discovery, the remaining salamanders begin burrowing into the pile looking for more fruit chips.

>Mikheal: Can Troy end the battle already so you can be significant to the plot again?
It's only going to end in one more turn if he can roll better than 40 damage in one hit. Technically possible if he uses the encounter power of the WARBAT, but unlikely. Also, Riccto, I noticed something about Double Attack: You have to target two creatures with it. Just a heads up.
>Taste a corner of the chocolate to see if it tastes even remotely close to "good".
[7,4+3=14]
That didn't require a roll, just so you know.
You peel some of the wrapping foil off of the chocolate, and hazard a bite. It's pretty bad, but still edible. It tastes like really, really low quality chocolate, combined with the flatness of flavor that only many years can bring to confections.
It's mad gross yo.
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 salamanders take no heed. They and the fruit chips have formed a glorious union. It's kind of weird how much they seem to be enjoying the chips. Maybe there was a reason they were so pricey.

"AwEsOMe." Steve leaned forward, leaning on the ground as he crept up closer to the enemies.
Be the night.
Stealth: [10,3+11+2] = 26
You take position, readying yourself to sneak up onto the unsuspecting underlings and tear them apart before they know what hit them.
Unfortunately, Alex and Danielle have no idea how to actually sneak. You're far enough away that you can attempt to assist them in their sneaking. Claire also, if she needs it when SirAaron rolls stealth.

You bring the head of the WARBAT down across the basilisk's skull, dealing a crushing blow worth 38 damage. Your foe reels from the strike. You easily dodge out of the way of its counter-strike, as much pain as the foe is clearly in.
Also, things that can be done to move things along:
The Fool: Decide whether or not you want to try to assist Alex, Danielle and Claire in their sneak attempts.

You bring the WARBAT down over the basilisk's head, finally putting an end to the creature, and the encounter. You are free to proceed.
Sure. I can hope.
Success! You assist all of your friends in concealing themselves as you approach. Also, up ahead, you see a commotion: From this distance, you clearly see a basilisk pull away a cart full of barrels. Another returns to replace it, lugging more barrels. An Ogre makes its way to the cart, and though you can't make out the words, you can hear a Dersite shouting orders. The underlings' attentions are focused on the delivery.

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.
Your characters cannot tell the difference between an Agent and a run of the mill Dersite. And yes, the ones with the swords are, in this particular case, the Dersites.

"Everyone, we're going to regroup and come help you out later. We've encountered some problems in actually getting you the fruit. In the meantime, there's plenty of ancient junk food in a pile in the factory. I'm headed back to the village now."

"Well, I'll probably head back to the elder to update him on the non-progress. Then we'll head to the factory."
As the pair exit the factory, the salamanders follow shortly, carrying payloads of ancient dessicated snackfoods. Judging from the bags, the fruit chips are the favorite.
Upon your arrival at the village, the salamanders scatter, distributing the snack foods as they judge fit. The rather small amount of food is depleted in mere minutes.
The village elder approaches you, looking rather disappointed. "I take it there were some kind of difficulties?"

After a short fussing denial, the heroes of Time and Mind hop through the gate above Mimi's house, which deposits the pair atop a plateau of sorts. It's slender and stretches out a ways, and bridges connect it other, similar features of geography. A lone goat stands around several yards away.
>Mimi and Emily: Head back towards the abandoned factory.
You start making your way back to the abandoned factory. It's still a long walk, and you do in fact see the hill with the gate sitting atop it on your way.
Of course, it might be worthwhile to pick up your time traveling acquaintance first instead of just hopping into the gate and ditching him.
RL: Make statements with offensive implications regarding the ogre's mother.
Trollin' check: [6,1]+8=15.
You start making derogatory statements about the Ogre's genetic predecessors. Now, Ogre's do not have mothers, but these sort of things are universally recognized as insults. The Ogre roars at you and starts moving in your direction. Unfortunately, the Dersites yell at the rest of the underlings to attack as well. Oops.
Strife!
Okay, Steve was the only one who actually took cover, so he can either have top initiative, or a free triggered turn, based on a trigger he chooses. If he does that, he gets a second turn at the bottom of initiative, first round only.
Everyone else, just roll initiative, plus 5 because you planned to have this fight (more or less).

An imp wearing a plumed knight's helmet drags a flail behind it as it dashes toward Claire, and bringing the weapon around in an arc, crashing it into her head. Claire takes 8 damage, and is Dazed.
Danielle has initiative.

"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?"

"Not much." You whirl around, looking for whoever said that, but it's just you, Troy and the goat. "But, home is home. You know how it is, I reckon." Ah, of course the goat talks.

"My feet hurt. I've been walking all day, or all week. I have no idea how long we've been in here."
Both girls continue toward the factory, reaching it after a short while. Emily has it, wind powers would beat walking hands down. The factory appears pretty much as it did when you left it.

"Oh, so you talk. Really, I should have expected that after the talking birds." Mikheal says, "Do you know of anything interesting nearby?"
The goat considers this for a long minute gazing upward with a furrowed brow. It eventually returns from its introspection. "I suppose that'd all depend on what you found interestin, now wouldn't it?"
>Steve: Continue to wait in the shadows
Do I need a stealth roll?
[7,9+11] = 27
You only need a stealth check at the beginning of any turn you are actively attempting to remain concealed. After that, if an enemy has line of sight, it's opposed checks. Also, if you're spotted, you need concealment in order to attempt a new stealth check.
RL: Pull out your new halberd and smoosh that imp.
[9,10]+12-1=30.
You take a step to the left and relieve the imp of his weighty helmet. And his head. It has a split second to look surprised before it is transmuted into grist.
Another armored enemy sprints toward Alex, lifting a heavy mace high over its head. A soft purple glow appears around Alex as he brings his axe up before the imp can react- and literally swings himself off of his feet. He takes a paltry one damage, and is dizzied by his failure, though not so much that he is unable to avoid the imp's clumsy strike.
The other Dersite takes a more hands on approach, drawing his blade and rushing toward the three kids he can see- and right past one he can't.
Steve can take a full turn immediately. Claire's turn is next in initiative.

Okay, I'll just not do anything because dang I can't reach
You still could've moved around for better positioning next turn, but okay.
Claire waits out her turn.
Imp 3 charges Danielle, bashing her with his heavy warhammer. She takes 8 damage and is Dazed.
Alex destroys the imp in front of him, then moves behind the Dersite, granting a flanking bonus for himself and Steve against the agent.
An Ogre lumbers toward the group, crashing through a pair of dead trees in its way. They splinter like brittle twigs beneath its legs. It reaches Danielle and roars menacingly.
Another imp runs forward, charging at Alex, who whirls around and crushes the imp with his axe while it's still raising its weapon. Rage Fueled Reflexes is a cool Aspect feature.
The basilisk emerges from the tree line, and shoots a deadly glare toward Alex, immobilizing him and causing 11 damage.
The remaining imps approach the battlefield, lagging behind their brethren.
The other Ogre makes his way toward Claire and Danielle, crushing another of the dead trees.

"Yeah, nice try. You can stay here if you want, but I'm wrangling up TB."
>Mimi: Head to the factory.
You proceed to the factory alone. You reach it after only a little while. It appears as you left it- Old.
"I'll wa!t."
Emily: wa!t.
You hunker down for a bit of a wait. You know that even from here, it's still a bit of a ways to the factory.
You try to relax a bit while you wait, but an errant breeze makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Perception check please.

Steve clobbers the Dersite in the face with his Tonfa, dealing 12 damage. He clutches at the cracked chitin that made up what used to be his face.
The other Dersite rushes to his companions aid, and attempts to stab Alex in the back. Fortunately, the Mage hears him coming, and knocks the blow aside with his attempt to strike the carapaced foe.

Shut up, audience, I'm busy illustrating it. It's not exactly easy wor-
Why illustrate it when writing's been good enough so far?
Because screw you, that's why. Yeah, I said it. Screw yo- OH GOD DON'T GET THE JACKALS. FINE YOU IMPATIENT LITTLE [oh my expletives]. Have a recap of intruder events before I get back to writing the story.
So TE, TB, and CA all crashed into the session by way of a series of unfortunate explosions, dropping the majority of their weird items on the Battlefield. CA got launched onto LoPaV, where he's currently scrambling about trying to find Alex. TB got launched onto... whatever the acronym for Emily's Land is, got in some arguments, and is probably going to be accompanying Mimi back to a portal sometime soon. TE accidentally double-god-tiered on a Quest Bed on LoCaC; one of his godtier selves kicked some royal ass in his original session and is about to get in trouble with the Theif of Breath. The other one woke up on the Battlefield, killed some shit, and is either going to jump to one of the other planets, get in a fight with LH, or both. Oh, and everybody has names, but I'm too lazy to use those in the summary.
Got all that? Good, now I can get back to actual story developments.
Jack: Be coding.
Yeah, instead of time-warping like you said you would, you've pretty much been repurposing an old tracking program of yours. You used to use it to keep track of the various other timeselves running about and causing chaos, but you think you can rebuild it to find TE. From there, you can hopefully build a little portal to drop him.... somewhere. Probably on a meteor near Derse, since that's closer to the Void. Of course, all this was about three relative hours ago - you've been coordinating with various time-looped iterations of yourself to get it done in the hour before Mimi gets back. One copy of you shows up, yells that he's finally got it all compiled, and runs the finished tracking-and-portaling program right as Mimi walks in and sees about twelve iterations of you. Welp, looks like it's time to go back again and continue the loop. Here's hoping there weren't any bugs.
Page-TE: Sulk.
She asked where the weapon you 'borrowed' was. You said you didn't have it. She mocked you for being a gigantic failure like she always does. You've spent the past fifteen minutes or so either wallowing in self-pity or listening to her bitch about how like half of her powers relied on that thing and why'd you have to go lose it in some space-time portal and blah blah blah. Generally, you try to be a happy, helpful guy but you're about fed up with her shit at this point, so you make the historic mistake of opening your mouth.
It's at this point that both parties have noticed a large, blue, orb floating seemingly in midair. TE goes to poke it, but is shoved away by CC, who punches the thing... and instantaneously disappears. TE then proceeds to cautiously poke it, and disappears as well.
Seriously? Another character?
Yes. Shut up and let me get back to the story.
CC: Reappear on Derse's moon.
Wait, shouldn't we have descriptive text about the new character first?
Yeah, probably. Fine, here ya go.
Your name is HANNAH BILLIAN. You've never understood why so many people who know have names that are SO DAMN DIFFICULT TO PRONOUNCE. Anyways, before Sburb, you spent most of your time messing up TE's life due to societal structure and the fact that you're just plain stronger than he is. Well, until you cut off each others' arms. After that, you pretty much left him alone, even during Sburb. Hell, you even pretended not to notice when he took a LEGENDARY WEAPON from you because he needed a gameplay crutch - mostly because you rather like your remaining arm, and you couldn't wield the thing anyways with your CLAYMOREKIND abstratus. You figured you'd let him keep it, until you learned that most of your THIEF OF BREATH powers stemmed from the thing. After that, most of your time was spent either picking up the slack that he left behind when he screwed up that little weapon innovation, or bitching about how you don't get the most out of your powers because of the little bastard. Heck, you were even busy complaining about it when you reached GOD-TIER and basically LEARNED TO FLY. Your chumhandle is convenientClaymore, and you talk like someone who actually knows how to speak, instead of a twit who insists on pretending they have a speech impediment.
BACK TO STORYTELLING.
Hannah: Reappear on Derse's moon.
You promptly reappear on the Earth-session Derse, wondering what the shit that was and hoping your legendary thingamabob is somewhere nearby. You float around, but nothing really interesting comes up. You don't really care, honestly, but you do wonder where the hell the little Page kid went - and more importantly, WHERE IS YOUR WINDY THING GOD DAMMIT.
Windy Thing: Be on TE's corpse on LoCaC.
You continue being an inanimate object in the sylladex of a corpse. This isn't exciting in any way, shape, or form. Whoopee. Let's get back to someone who's actually doing something.
Page-TE: Land on Jack's head.
You reappear right above Jack's head as one of the other humans walks into the... you think you're in a factory of some sort? Whatever. You pick yourself up off of the swearing mess of caffeine and time-travel that is Jack, dust yourself off, and decide that it'd be better if you let Jack do all the talking, and hope that Hannah didn't end up floating out in space. Actually, you don't really give two shits now that she's off your back, so she may as well be floating out in space. Good riddance.
Jack: Realize your code did, in fact, have some bugs.
You realize your code did, in fact, have some bugs - right about when an alien in green pajamas falls onto your noggin. You scramble to get him off, and notice that all of your other timeselves have gone back to do more coding already, and that Mimi's here. Welp, guess you're probably going to have to explain your way out of this one.
TBlog will be tomorrow, barring chores and other such stuff. Also, Blade, please remind me to throw you a PM about CC, since I'm going to bed very very soon after this and barely had the energy to finish this wall of text.

>Plot: Continue
The plot cannot continue as it has run out of quarters. OH SHI no wait, here's one.
RL: SMASH THAT OGRE'S FACE
Using Fruit Crusher Fraymotif. Poor, poor bastard.
[5,7]+12=24.
You leap into the air, slam your halberd into the Ogre's face and cause it to crash to the ground. It takes 25 damage, and is prone.
Dersite 1 shifts down, granting him combat advantage against Alex, who he immediately attacks. Alex takes six damage and is knocked prone, where the Dersite tries to hit him while he's down. Alex rolls out of the way.
Don't worry, I (think I) know what I'm doing. (this is the part where I fall down and BLEED TO DEATH)
> Claire: Shift up, attack the imp. If it dies, attack Ogre 2 instead.
Regular: [4,10 + 12] = 26
Scorpion's Strike: [7,2 + 12] = 21
Claire steps forward and erases the nearest imp from existence. Due to the law of equivalent exchange, the disappearance is answered with grist. Good trade. She also swipes her blade across the knee of one of the ogres, dealing 6 damage.
Alex, still being immobilized, slams one fist into the ground and roars; the resultant shockwave tosses both Ogre's and Dersites behind him, and killing one of the imps. Dersite 2 manages to land on his feet, but the other Dersite and both Ogre's take 24 damage each. Also, their defenses are reduced until the end of their turn, and are also stunned.
Ogre 1 struggles up to its feet, and has a hard time doing even that.
The basilisk, having used its gaze power, approaches to do battle at close range.
Imp 4 charges Claire, attacking clumsily. She dodges out of the way of his attack.
Ogre 2 is content to wait for the Dersites to move before he bothers to go anywhere.

Underling: [9.5+11] = 25
Dersite 1: [9,5+11] = 25

You move in and blast the Dersites and imp with Seer assisted tonfa powers. Or tonfa assisted Seer powers. Either way, both Dersites take 11 damage, and the imp is destroyed. Agent 1 looks ready to drop.
Agent 2, now both stunned and immobilized, raises it's guard, prepared for another attack.

He asks if you could find out then. He says that he got deployed to another land, and he's trying to keep suspicions on himself down because apparently you're still planning on going through with that crazy regisurp plan. If she isn't with you he says, he'd like to take her in, get cozy with the Queen, etc.
RL: Smash the ogre.
So move left 1, then use the Weapon Power for The Return on Ogre 1.

You wallop the Ogre for 27 damage, causing it to violently explode into grist. Nice.

You force the Dersite's blade aside and run him through, dropping him to bleed on the dead earth. Hopefully you can finish things before he bleeds out, he could still be useful.
Alex lurches back to his feet and gets between the Basilisk and the rest of the party. The basilisk approaches him, ready to bite, and receives an axe wound for its trouble, taking 11 damage. It bites Alex anyway, and he ends up taking 7 damage. Alex is now bloodied.
Ogre 2 is still immobilized from Steve's attack last turn.

It is now Steve's turn again. Also, the basilisk is one space south but I'm too lazy to re-do the upload.

Yes, I'll still do this. It's better than not using a power in an encounter.
You strike Agent 2 for 16 damage, dazing him, and finish off his dying comrade. Agent 2 is beginning to look rather leery of the situation.
Unable to flee for the moment, the Dersite takes his single action attacking you, but either due to your quickness, or his recent head injury, you remain well out of harm's way.

Even though he was still in pain and not in the best condition to do fighting, Mikhael didn't want to let that stop him. He hardly just let himself be defeated at what he viewed as minor wounds. That would be weak for him.

Fixed that for ya.
You follow the goat across the bridge, and eventually find yourself at the base of a sharp cliff, with a spirograph hovering above. You get the feeling that you're going to have a bitch of a time climbing it in your condition.
"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
The scenery is pretty bleak. It's all jagged mountain edges and swaying rope bridges. Also, you seem to have lost track of Mikhael. Ah well, you can just go the same direction he went, shouldn't be too much trouble to find him.

You slash at the Ogre, cutting him to ribbons. These ribbons then spontaneously morph into grist.
Alex swings at the basilisk, but misses. He YOUTH ROLLS back one space.
The basilisk advances on Alex again, where he attempts to get a quick shot in as his foe approaches. No such luck though. The basilisk at least doesn't manage to hurt him.

Though it is extremely difficult in your current condition, you haul yourself up the cliff face, only stopping to pant and narrowly avoid blacking out from the pain once you have reached the top. Now all you have to do is jump into the portal.
...In a few minutes.
Time-Hop backwards and figure out the RIGHT BRIDGE. And then follow the right one. Hopefully.
Unfortunately, hopping backward in time only serves to place you where you already are, just in the past. You find this to be extremely irritating. If only your armlet would facilitate movement through space as well as time...
Oh well. You strike out anyhow, figuring that, sooner or later, you'll have to figure out which way is the right way.
Later, rather than sooner, you begin to suspect that there is some kind of shenanigans keeping you from leaving this area.

Sadly, no. You've made a GRAVE BLUNDER! You slip and sprain your ankle, taking 1 damage! You can still move alright, but the Dersite notices your inconvenience, and you now grant combat advantage to it for the remainder of the encounter.
He takes advantage of this immediately, sweeping your legs out from under you and knocking you prone on the ground. You take six damage from the fall. While he doesn't like to cut and run, the Dersite can tell that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and since you can't threaten him while you're on your butt, he high tails it away from you darn kids.

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.

You see the Dersite attempting to flee, and you put a stop to that right quick. You run after him and clobber him with your halberd, dealing 19 damage. He's bleeding badly.

Your first strike misses, but your follow-up slash hits home. Your attack deals 2 damage.
Alex attacks the basilisk, but can't manage to land a hit. It counters, biting him for 9 damage.

Steve's turn.
>Friendship Cigars!
You prepare yourself to be your memetically outgoing buddy-buddy self, and soon arrive at the goat village. Or, what there is of it, anyway. It seems to be what amounts to two slight indentations in the side of one of the cliffs, with less than ten goats wandering about, occasionally claiming one of the few stray blades of grass that dot the stone. This is a dreary place.
All the better to brighten it with goat smiles, you suppose! What will you do?

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.

Unless you have a ranged power, you'll need to spend one move action to get up, and another to reach the basilisk.

You end up taking a nap, and wake up in your Dream Sphere. What will you do?
Ask around as to whats the history of this place
You ask one of the goats what the local history is. "Well, things used to be mighty quiet around here. Peaceful as you could ask for. More grass to eat too. Then one day, a while ago, Echidna gets the notion to carve these grooves into the land." The goat gesticulates to a nearby yawning chasm. "Never mentioned why, and we asked a few times too."
>Emily: Wake up. Sorta.

The streets are deserted, as always on Derse's moon. It looks a bit different than how you remember it. You aren't sure why, but you'll surely remember eventually. What will you do?

Wherever I want.
You return to your dream sphere without incident. This moon is completely devoid of life, excepting yourself, and you suppose whoever else is a Derse dreamer. Did you ever get a run-down of who that is? Well, whatever.
>Mikheal: Wait a second, weren't you on the streets last time you were here? Whatever, may as well take a nightly (Or whatever time it is here) stroll around the place.
You go walking around Derse, because flying is so last nap, and spot something crossing between a few buildings in the distance. It is too far away to judge exactly what though. Now what?
CC: Air raid sirens? Probably just a drill. Carry on.
Yeah, this is probably nothing to worry about. You resume your approach.
A bullet whistles through the air next to you, followed by several more. Maybe Ground Control doesn't know you're coming in, or something.

You decide that if they're going to throw bullets at you, you get to take one of their flying battleships. It's only fair. You fly down to the docks, dodging sniper fire as you go, and head for the first battleship you see. It looks like it's just about ready to head for the battlefield.
>Mikhael: Investigate. Whats the worst that can happen, after all?
You head toward what you thought you saw, but lose track of it. However, you're fairly certain it was headed in the direction of the Dream Sphere towers.

The basilisk, having forgotten Claire, turns back to Alex and bites thin air, as the Mage YOUTH ROLLS out of the way of the attack.

"I know she was right here. I wasn't gone that long. She wouldn't just leave us like that... right?" Mimi brushed around through the grass with TB watching. Emily's scent was still fresh, or would have been if Mimi took the time to smell anything. Instead, after about thirty seconds she threw her arms in the air in frustration.
"You said Seers gain their powers gradually, right? Maybe I'm approaching this the wrong way. I've brute forced my way through the game with skills I only pretended to have, paying little attention to the subtler aspects of it. Perhaps it's time I fulfill my role as the Seer of Space."
Mimi put all her thought into Emily - how long she was alone, how far she could have gone in that time, all the places she could have headed off to - and closed her eyes.
"I wonder, TB... how does a Seer see?"
>Seer: See.

[Title Power: 7+9+10]
You focus on seeing Emily, wherever she might be, and your vision suddenly reasserts itself, as if you were hovering over her.
And her captor. You can clearly see an Agent of Derse carrying Mimi on his shoulder, walking into one of the factories. You can feel the distance to this place, and you know it isn't far. This factory is completely inactive, and there is a purple plate on the floor. As the Derse Agent steps onto it, he disappears.
You lose track of your friend, and you perceive your immediate surroundings once again.
Steve: Shift right and attack.
[4,5+11] = 20
You close the distance to the basilisk and bring your tonfa down over its head. The monster finally gives up the ghost, and vanishes in a puff of grist.
Alex sits down on the ground and starts whining. Looks like the battle is over.
Mikhael: To the dream towers it is then.
You make your way to the dream towers, and they come into view just as someone slips into one of them! You realize it's Brian's dream sphere too.

You re-draw Halberd's bite, as well as a portable computer.
RL: Go tie the Dersite to a tree. Prepare the information extraction method.
You grab the unconscious Dersite, and haul him over to a tree, where you proceed to tie him up. Alex fusses around in his sylladex.
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.
You have a fully gassed up Dersite battleship, so rather than simply pilot it away, you shove it out of the dock with the Windy Thing. This may have been for the best though, as the wind moves it around fairly erratically, sparing it most of the fire from Derse's weapon batteries and the fire from other battleships.

There is, however, a large purple plate of some kind on the floor. You wonder how you'll activate it.

You would, but you've just been flying-tackled out of the sky, and are currently lying on the ground with a very large sword at your neck. Something seven or eight feet tall asks you what you are, who you are, and where you're going.
CC: Well, going down means getting sniped, so.. looks like you're flying up.
You try flying straight up, but now you're just stuck at the top of the building. If you fly too high, the snipers just start up again.
You need to get out of here, for all you know, swiping and subsequently crashing their battleship may result in fate tipping it's hand to Just.
You notice that one of the lands is coming close to Derse. Oddly, you don't seem to recognize it, it's all purpley-pink. You could probably fly there, and seek refuge on the surface.

Yes, because she's thirteen and most thirteen year-olds do not have such well developed boobs. Also Mikhael has been stated a ridiculous number of times to be taller than the rest of the cast.
Mikhael: Get the drop on this intruder.
Stealth Check!
"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.
You are transportalized for the first time in your life, and the experience is fairly disorienting. You are no longer on the pad in the factory, but rather a mirrored pad in a deep purple building. The Agent you saw in your vision is near the exit with Emily slung over one shoulder, but rather than run, he draws a long sword, and asks you if you know Troy.
TB and TE follow through moments after you, and the Agent's grip on his sword tightens.
RL: Punch the Dersite to wake him up instead of using the matches. You want to minimize lighting yourself on fire this time.
You punch the Dersite in the snout. Unfortunately, you had already established your priority in the preceding battle. He coughs up a dangerous looking amount of blood, and forces an eye open. Guess he's awake.
CA: Tell BT to piss off.
He presses the sword tighter against your neck, and reminds you that he's the one in charge here. He asks again: Who are you, what are you, and where are you going?
CC: Jump to the Land. There is absolutely no way this can go wrong.
You leap with God-like strength, pulling away from Derse's orbit, and toward the mystery Land. A few bullets zip relatively close-by, but at this range, they won't be able to hit you.
Soon enough, you descend upon a vast ocean, dotted with crystals. In fact, you are descending at a quite impressive rate of speed. Some might say too fast. Not that it matters, since you can fly.

BT backhands you, snapping your head to one side. He informs you this is the last time he is willing to ask.

"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.

He demands to know why you're looking for him.
CC: Try to surface, because drowning is bad.
You swim back up to the surface, right next to a small goldenrod rowboat. A pair of prospitians blink at you in bemusement. Their naval uniforms appear to be in an advanced state of disrepair.

More info on this ECHINDA, sounds like they need to HUG IT OUT.
The goat shrugs and begins explaining a bit about Echidna. "Now I can't tell ya for certain, but it's said that Echidna has been around since the beginning of the Land. She's older than the dirt the grass grows in. She's as big as a mountain too, strong, cunning. She could really take care of us critters if she had a mind to."
RL: Accidentally do the Blood-y thing before your victim dies.
You fail to unearth any super natural powers. At least he seems stable for now, but you really should find some way to patch him up, at least a little bit. Alex steps forward, a medkit in hand. "CAN I TRY?"
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.
You hoist yourself up into the boat, put on your best captaining voice, and order the prospitians to make for land or gate. The shorter of the pair meekly explains that all the land is pointy and they don't know how to get to any of the gates from wherever they are.
Lovely.

BT asks if you'd prefer that he breaks all your limbs and lets you limp to the mage, or if you'd like to go ahead and tell him why.
RL: Let Alex do the medical thing. INTERROGATION if the Dersite looks moderately healthy enough.
Using his vast array of NERD EXPERTISE, Alex manages to bandage and stabilize the Dersite. It'll probably be some time before he's healthy enough to interrogate without risking his death.
CC: Knock the Prospitans off the boat and then use it as a wind-propelled surfboard. Go looking for a Gate.
You punt the Prospitians off the boat like a couple of frogs and put some wind in your sails. You keep your eyes peeled for a gate, but you don't seem to be particularly close to any. Well, it isn't like you have a deadline.

The problem with the battlefield is there are very few fast ways off of it. You could try just flying away, or possibly snag a battleship from either side, but there are no portals leading out of Skaia.
What's the plan?

You spot a nearby Prospit battlecruiser, and shatter the psyches of several crewman before they learn their lesson and just get the hell out of the way. You grab the wheel and work out the take-off sequence in short order. It's a good thing these things are so user friendly.

You're in a bit of an awkward position, but you manage to swing your foot and land a sort of solid hit on BT's manberries. The force of the blow knocks his grip loose and sends him a good ten feet back from you. Wow, you haven't fought anything in so long, you forgot how strong becoming god tier made you.

You plot a course for (by which I mean just blast off in the direction of) one of the Ocean planets, since it was the first one you saw.

"I'm wondering what your doing here myself." Mikhael response, returning to his more supicious approach toward Emily. He begins to take a look around her Dream Room, Walking around in around Emily to see whats going on inside.

RL: "Hmm. I'm gonna go scout around the battlefield and see if anything dropped vitality gel that we missed, then."
You do a sweep of the area, looking for some errant vitality gel, but you don't find any. What a drag.
CA: Walk in the direction BLUH BLUH HUGE ARMOR came from. You'd bet there's probably some folks that way.
Uh, you're actually not quite sure what direction that was, now that you think about it. He completely got the drop on you when he sky-tackled you earlier. You're not sure where he came from the first time.
You know where he's coming from this time, though. BT leaps out at you in a rocket-assisted lunge, swinging his massive sword at you. You manage to dodge that, but he lashes out at you with one fist, smashing you right in the gut. It wasn't as bad as it could be though, and you refuse to let it push you off balance.
TE-Prince: Land gracefully, thank the Prospitans by blowing a hole in their ship anyways.
You park the Cruiser in a small ring-let of islands, then promptly blast an enormous hole in the hull. It sinks quickly, and only a few of the Prospitians make it to the surface.
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-"

You haul off and clobber DA in the face. You hear something crack, and DA falls to the ground. Ha-HA! Now who's lousy at fist fighting? Maybe you should take up Fistkind, you're pretty good at it.
>Mimi: Realize how much your hand hurts.

Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on August 09, 2012, 08:29:26 am
>LH: Get your SHIT together. Regroup back at THE SHIP and figure out DA PLAN
You head back to THE SHIP. Clearly, this foe is stronger than you would have ever guessed. Even with your vast horde of SWEET LOOT, you weren't able to best him. Clearly, you will need some kind of UNBEATABLE STRATEGY to defeat him.
Or, perhaps some kind of boost to your time travel abilities, or something.
Time hop to watch Echidna furrow the land, Follow her to the Palace
You ask the goat exactly how many years ago the furrowing took place, and, once you receive the information, you go back in time. You look around, and the planet looks significantly different without all the canyons or bridges. It is a significant change. There's more grass too, and everything is wide open plains. You wonder where the goats are.
You begin your search for Echidna by turning around, only to find that you have time hopped directly in front of her! At least, you think it is her: It certainly looks like the kind of being who could scar a land so extensively as you've seen. It's an enormous, quilled, serpentine monster, towering 50 feet in the air, at least. It is quite intimidating.
The creature speaks in a decidedly female voice. "What is it you are looking for, Seeker?" She sounds friendly enough...

"I furrow the land because it is required. My purpose here is to rule. And the only thing you are meant to accomplish here is to leave. Begone." Well. Perhaps not so friendly after all.
"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."
>Mimi: Step on DA and stab his left arm.
[10+8+I'm never in combat anymore bawww so I forget my bonus, maybe 11?]
Doesn't matter, no combat roll required.
You gank DA in the arm for good measure. You should probably get out of here though, sooner or later, those Dersites are gonna be here, and it would probably be for the best if they didn't follow you back. At the very least, you should at least get well away from them.

You reach back one hand and deliver a slap that makes your opponent's head ring. Unfortunately, your fingers now sting like the dickens because he is wearing a helmet.

TE: Float through the dream rooms. If you need to talk to someone, they're probably up there.
>Mikhael and Emily: Realize you are no longer alone.
CA: Keep screaming. At least he's not trying to kill you now.
Yeah, you figure you can do that. The screaming is somewhat obscured whenever you get slapped though.
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.
The trouble is, you don't know where to look! It sure would be easier if you knew what consorts this planet has and where they live, but you can't recall off hand.
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.
Not only can you see two return nodes, you can also see the seven gates. You could check out the player's house, if you wanted.
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.
"UH, OKAY." Alex looks over to Claire and Steve. "SO, ARE EITHER OF YOU COMING?"

You drop CA on the ground after slapping him back and forth for a good five minutes, and place your boot on his neck, which should shut him up, at least a little. You suggest that, perhaps, CA might have reconsidered about revealing his motivation for seeking out the Mage to you, hm?
"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."
Alex and Claire set forth in the direction of the screaming and shouting, but shortly after they depart it ceases. "LET'S JUST KEEP GOING, THEY CAN'T BE TOO FAR."

[Title Power: 2+2+10] (yes, Brutal Affront confirmation please)
(Grave Blunder. Whee hee hee!)
You attempt to look in on the group you'd been travelling with before your episode, but you somehow get your bearings crossed and end up looking into blackness. Slowly, you realize you aren't seeing some kind of abyss. Your field of vision begins to widen, and you realize you are looking at a black mannequin, wearing a mantle of flame. It's featureless face makes no motion, but you hear it speak none the less.
"I see you."
You are so startled by this turn of events, and the creepiness of the thing you saw, that you immediately pass out.

You punch BT in the knee, but the recent slapfest has left you weak and dizzy, and the punch does little. The fact that BT crushes your neck with his foot just as your fist connects may also have been a factor.

The group of three reach CA and BT just as BT raises his boot, coated in purple gore. Alex turns green and vomits spectacularly.

After attempting (unsuccessfully) to shake of the strange feeling of fear and apprehension your vision resulted in, you leave your dream tower, to attend to some heretofore unmentioned important business you have to do.

A person in the act of vomiting tends to remain in the act of vomiting until they run out of food/bile. That's one of Newton's laws, right?

>Black Templar: Add Head to your collection.
Black Templar proceeds to tear off CA's head and completely ignore Steve's rage and inquiry. "The Whiney bitch was surprising easy to kill anyway. For some reason I thought I would get more of a fight out of him. Been a while since I've had a fight that wasn't a complete curbstomp. Guess this kid wasn't the one to break that."
>Black Templar: Admire Head Collection
Your head collection is so beautiful, it almost brings a tear to your eye when you look at it. Almost.
You have all kinds of heads here, from your first Imp kill to your most recent Giclops kill, intill it was replaced by that other douches fleshy skull. Sometimes you wonder why you started collecting heads, but the thought soon dissipates as soon as you realize that It was because it was fun as hell. Of course, you had to reconstruct the imp head from memory as it shattered into grist when you killed it the first time, but you've since alchemized a sword with the specific purpose of leaving underling heads intact. It seems to dampen the amount of grist you receive, but who cares, free heads!
Alex appears to be all vomited out, and is shaking.
"Derse is making their move. Might be time to rally our own troops."
>Mimi: Find a civilian building. Seek civilians.
It doesn't take long to find civilians. They're everywhere on Derse's moon. Not as much as on Prospit proper, but still. They're averting their gaze as always though.

The prospitian sighs in relief, immediately looking far more comfortable. "Thank you Seer. I trust it is alright to spread the news? You see, we have awaited the coming of our heroes for a long time, and it is a strange thing indeed to be expected to pretend as if you are not there. The Queen is likely in the Throne Room. It remains on Prospit proper. Just follow the red carpet down."

"Hello, Seer. I trust you've been... well?"
Let's go be someone else while Zaeran is flipping his shit everywhere.

Black Templar responds to Steve, not taking his gaze away from his head collection, "Well, I wasn't going to kill him until he started attacking me. I don't get why he would do that, I thought we had a fine arrangement where he tells me what the hell he was doing in exchanged for not breaking all of his limbs. And I'm not leaving Danielle behind to go kill the Black King."

"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.
You head off to the chain, which you follow to Prospit. After several minutes you find yourself in front of what you must assume is the Royal Castle, even though it's well underground.
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.
You pick Mimi up and continue toward the Gate, complaining about flighty broads and their napping horseshit all the way.
CC: Jump through ALL THE GATES. Nah, actually, just go through like the third one or something. You don't really care.
You go through the third gate, appearing somewhere else on the same blasted water world. Oh, that's right, the first five gates just take you down somewhere on the land. Well. What a waste of time that was.
RL: Get tired of attempting to fix your busted inventory system. Take a nap in the pile of random crap instead.
You decide that, since you're all alone in a dangerous wilderness with the possibility of a Derse patrol coming by any minute, that now would be a wonderful time to take a nap. You pour a whole bunch of crap out of your sylladex and lay down in the resulting pile.

BT makes a derisive sound from behind his helmet. "You expect me to know that? I'm just here to make sure you don't get your collective asses killed.
BT then starts rifling through the pockets of the dead troll. Oddly, he can't seem to access the dead guy's sylladex. Curious.
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.
You move forward into the castle, attendants and other prospitians becoming fewer and farther between as you advance. Soon enough, you enter the Throne Room. You can tell it is the Throne Room because there is a solitary figure seated on the throne, and she's wearing a crown.
An uncomfortable feeling spreads through your body as you realize that the creature in the chair is, apart from the color, exactly the same as the one you saw in your vision just before passing out. It's quite unnerving. The Queen beckons you forward with a finger.

"Uh..."
>Mimi: Hold down fears and approach the Queen.
Mimi gulps. "Hello, Your Majesty. I come bearing information."
The Queen speaks in a voice that seems to radiate from the environment rather than her featureless face. Unlike the voice of the Black Queen, it is less menacing and demonic, and more ethereal and kind. "One should expect no less from a Seer, I suppose. Tell me, does it concern the knight I dispatched to your side with the map of your land?"
Post by: freeformschooler on August 15, 2012, 11:26:27 pm
"The information instead concerns your largest foe." Mimi gazes up at the ceiling as she wracked her brain for the information on Derse. "We sent a spy to Derse not long ago to seek information on them. Unfortunately, he was caught, and I fear for the safety of the Derse dreamers. They at least know we actively oppose them."
What about the other stuff? She decided to start with the Agents. "Derse has an elite group of Agents who were working against us even before this incident. Apparently, each Land - or at least most - houses a temple of some kind with high technology inside. The Agents seem to be looking for a functioning one, as the ones we've seen have been unusable. If I know anything about these high-profile Dersite, it's that they're always looking for an edge, and I fear if they get their hands on one of these stations - whatever they are - they may gain one."
"On top of that, each of us entered this world alongside one or more older heroes who then disappeared. The last time we found one, he was executed publicly by a high-ranking Agent. Our Mage cut his finger off then, but he otherwise escaped unharmed."
Oh, yeah. Probably should mention the lead.
"The Seeker is in contact with another Agent who seeks to overthrow the Derse royalty from the inside. He may be out of commission for a while, though."
Now for the most important part. "You may or may not be aware of this, but there are worlds outside the ones we can see - worlds only accessible through a great void - and they resemble our own. Heroes from these worlds who have amassed incredible power who I call "intruders" now walk amongst us. I travel with two of them, but there are others who may pose a significant threat to both your kingdom and the fate of Skaia as a whole. If you can contact your troops, tell them that if they see a creature like me freely flying through the air, they should get away as quickly as possible."
"Unfortunately, after witnessing their power, I can say it would not be wise to try to combat them directly. My suggestion is to merely avoid them until we have amassed enough power to take them out ourselves. Barring that, we may be able to pit intruder on intruder in an attempt to thin the herd."
Whew. That was it. Mimi didn't know how much longer she had here, so she decided to ask the most important question first. "Now, I have a question of my own. On each Land there seems to be an immensely powerful being known as a Denizen. If you know anything of them, do you know how I may speak to mine?"
Post by: Blade Master Model 42 on August 15, 2012, 11:52:57 pm
-le infodump-
The Queen's shoulders drooped as she heard that her knight had been slain, but listened quietly as Mimi informed her of both the Agents and Intruders.
When she had finished, the Queen responded in her placeless, ethereal voice. "We were previously aware of the Agents and the Temples, but we did not know that there was a connection of any sort. We will do our best to guard them. We have no information on any other heroes, recent or otherwise, but I will advise my soldiers to be on the lookout for them. I will also advise them to steer clear of these intruders."
"As to your question... I am afraid that the Denizens have ceased all contact with Prospit. Apparently, Derse offered them some form of compensation for attempting to slow you all, and they refuse to negotiate. It is very strange. The Denizens were once kind masters of the Lands in their stead. I can't imagine what would explain the sudden change in their behaviors."
Post by: freeformschooler on August 16, 2012, 12:04:16 am
Mimi put two fingers from each hand on her head like Professor Xavier from the X-Men. "As for my second question... I have recently begun fulfilling my true purpose as the Seer of Space. I can See the Lands and their inhabitants going about their business no matter where I am. Given this, are there any tasks you would have me carry out?"

>Mimi: Attempt to See the White King.
[10+6+10]
You attempt to tap into your Seer power again, and you immediately gain a clear view of the Battlefield. White troops scurry about a large camp, nodding vigorously at a white pillar. It is some time before you realize that this white pillar is a LEG, and you raise your field of vision accordingly, allowing you take in the full majesty of His Majesty. He's nearly as tall as a Giclops, and holds a large scepter in one hand with a sword in the other. Like the queen, he is wreathed in pale blue flame, with padding and a rough, stone like texture to his skin. His face is smooth and featureless as well, and somehow fills your mind with feelings of respect and admiration.
It would seem the King is a very charismatic individual.
>Alex et all: Return to the Heir.
Alex and the others start leaving, but BT calls out to them to wait up. He claims that he is not finished searching the troll, and plunges his arm into CA's neck with a disgusting sound that calls forth the adjectives 'wet' and 'crunchy'. In violation of the laws of volume, Alex manages to throw up again.

The three return to the place they'd left the Dersite and Danielle. The Dersite is sound asleep. So is Danielle for some reason. It's like every time you turn around, people are falling asleep. What is up with that?
Alex beckons Steve and Claire closer, checks around to make sure BT had not returned yet, and then proves that he is capable of lowering the volume of his voice to a whisper. "GUYS, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET BT AWAY FROM US."
TB: Surely you must have reached the gate by now?
As a matter of fact, yes. Yes you have. Your passengers are still sound asleep though.

"Oh. I suppose even a Seer needs to weigh the possibilities more carefully once in a while. I will see if I can put that map to better use once I return to my Land." Mimi curtsied and turned back towards the door. "I must be off. I may be able to view another of Skaia's visions before I wake up. It was good speaking to you, Your Majesty."
>Mimi: Head back outside.

You make your way out of the Palace, then fly up to see if you can get a clear view of Skaia. You can, and you're in luck- Skaia is in perfect position to reveal something to you through the clouds.
You see an asteroid drifting in the void of space. It appears that there are some buildings on it.
You're not sure what to make of this.

RL: Go piss around and try to find a sort of dream miniquest. Whatever it is, it'll probably beat sitting around waiting.
You flit around Prospit's moon looking for someone to give you a quest. No one seems to be forthcoming, so you eventually start asking them, even if they don't really look like the type to hand out quest hooks. Worse, the moon doesn't appear to be Skaia-ward, so you can't even look at vague prophecies.

You zip on over to the nearby greenish planet. As you get closer, however, you notice that it isn't that green- some spots are decidely brown, which strikes you as unnatural.
Not as unnatural as all of the Lands being different, but unnatural.
TB: GAAAATE
You resist the urge to TORSO FLAIL the girls through the gate, and hop through. You emerge at what you recognize to be Danielle's house. If you knew how many other people were there as well, you'd be inclined to think that this would be a ridiculous coincidence. But you don't.
Steve whispered back to Alex.

You zip back across the chain and look around to see if anyone else is asleep/awake before you bother waking up. You spot Danielle, conveniently enough.
>BT: Finish colonoscopy.
Yep, nothin' there either. You figure you can call this body thoroughly searched. Weird: Usually you can find the gear someone had without too much trouble. You suppose that maybe he just didn't have anything. You start making your way back to the kids.

You do that. It seems you have finally found a player's house, although you can't quite remember whose. Doesn't matter much, they're going to die anyways. You hunker down behind the TV to wait for them to show up and then proceed to swear at the TV as it falls on your head. So much for the element of surprise...

After Mimi leaves, you look for a Prospitian. He looks away and say nothing, until you poke him. "Um, yes?"
CC: Let's float around and find some of the locals; see what they can tell you.
You meander around, but you don't seem to be able to find anything other than huge, unintelligent snakes hanging from the trees. Of course, that's only in the areas where there still are trees. As you look around, you spot another house you don't recognize. Fan-fucking-tastic.
TB:Torso Flail the ladies into a ditchWait for the Wonder Duo to wake up.
>Mimi: Head back to your dream tower's bed and try tosleepwake up.
You contemplate throwing the girls again when Mimi finally wakes up. God, what took her so long? Actually, better question, why did she pass out in the first place?

Rather than return to the present, you figure you might as well mess around in the past for a while. Unfortunately, there don't appear to be any distinctive landmasses in the past here, and all the goats are a bit preoccupied running around in terror as Echidna does the landscaping.

You start punching a whole bunch of cards to prepare to create engines of destruction, but quickly find that you don't have any grist! Well. Fuck.
> Claire: Recoil, and procure and equip more shades for maximum coverage.
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.
Alex just tried not to look at BT's arms, and, more importantly, tried not to envision what he had to have been doing to get that purple crud that far up his arms. "SHOULD- SHOULD WE WAKE UP DANIELLE?"

You try, but it seems that the source docs are under review pending some form of upgrade. What the shit?

You clean your tears off, benefiting everyone in visible range.
Evil TE: Wait for someone to come home.
You wait, like a tiger crouching in the tall grass. Tigers don't get bored, right?
>Jungle Company: Watch as BT captchalogues the gore off of his arms.
Alex supposes that, visually, this is a slight improvement, but you can't help but wonder why he wouldn't just throw it away. I mean, what could he be planning to do with a card full of alien gore.
>Alex: Accidentally visualize BT eating the gore.
"EEEURGH!" Alex nearly heaves again, and nearly runs over to Danielle's unconscious body, where he begins shaking her shoulder. "DANIELLE GET UP, WE NEED TO TALK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. C'MON, SERIOUSLY, WA- HUH?"

You do that quite handily. You have now stopped being dead. You stand up, and see like half of the people you've been watching all around you.
....This is going to take some explaining.

....This is going to take some explaining.
You go to stand up, but feel a heavy boot on the back of your head. You also notice that your invincibility glow seems to have come to an end. This probably isn 't a goo-
The last thing that goes through your mind before you die again is BT's boot. You can't help but guess that these events are related.
"STOP THAT!" A thick fantasy novel whistles through the air and connects with BT's face. It just bounces off. Alex looks unperturbed by the lack of effectiveness. "STOP KILLING PEOPLE! HE! DID! NOTHING! WE COULD HAVE ASKED HIM WHAT HE WANTED! YOU COULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL HE SHOWED SOME SOME SIGN OF AGGRESSION FIRST, AT THE VERY LEAST! FOR ALL WE KNOW, HE WON'T COME BACK NOW! YOU CAN'T JUST KILL PEOPLE FOR NO REASON!"
To Claire and Danielle, Alex looks about as pissed as when CD was talking about the Archagent.
TB: Bitch about upgrades. Have nobody around who gives a shit.
CC: Have way too much fun throwing Mimi around like a ragdoll.
Emily remains peacefully asleep as TB complains about these most likely worthless upgrades.
>Mimi: Fly through the air with the greatest of ease.
This is less flying at this point, and more like traveling along a parabolic arc. You're still going up, for now, but you better figure something out when you come down.

Mimi and the Gang: Hear Alex yelling. Wonder what the hell is up.
TB and CC cannot hear Alex because they are too far away. Emily cannot hear Alex because she is asleep.
CA: Wake up. Be quite displeased with current events.
You resurrect again. Hey, you know what sucks? Being dead. Alex looks at you with a sort of questioning expression.

Honestly, your life has been nothing but trudging and drudgery lately. Trudgerey. You fly across the river surrounding Danielle's house and start walking in the direction Mimi was thrown. The other intruders on-site follow you.
"AAAAAAA I KNOW I HAVE A PARACHTE BUT SOMEONE CATCH ME WHEN I FAAAAAAALL"

Steve makes the effort to keep Mimi from impacting with the dirt. Not a bad idea, as accidents happen to even experienced sky-divers, which Mimi is not. It isn't a graceful catch though, and Mimi and Steve tumble to the ground together. Just like in the animes.
RL: Continue to understand nothing.
Done and done.

"I don't know him, but I've been trying to keep tabs on all of these guys for a while now. They're the 'intruders' I keep referring to - the ones who taunted and annoyed us earlier on, but now have somehow found their way into our session. I've been traveling with two of them, in fact."

"EVEN IF I DID, I WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO YOU." Alex said, at this point sounding more tired than angry. "THIS WHOLE THING BLOWS."

The Dersite that the kids had nearly killed earlier finally comes to. He doesn't look happy to be here.
Captured Dersite: Try to get out of the sylladex. There's a conflict needs resolvin' out here.

"I know something new about Derse's royalty. Their Queen, at least, has unforeseen powers. I saw her sitting on her throne in a horrifying vision. No face, wreathed in flames. She blocked my powers and knocked my out from however many miles away. "
Mimi thought for a moment. "If you want to know something about any other members of Derse's royalty, I suppose I could scry for them and get a glimpse."

Other Assholes: Be lost.
You finally manage to get to the planet where all the shit is going down, and you're lost in an *EXPLETIVE* jungle. TB makes the executive decision to send TE and CC flying up and away to figure out where the shit to go next. They agree, CC out of boredom and TE out of cowardice.
....Yeah, sending those two on their own is probably not a good idea. But you can't really fly while carrying Ms. Lardass over here, so there aren't really a shitload of options.
BT: See two humanoids flying overhead.

BT: See two humanoids flying overhead.
>BT: Ignore them. If they aren't looking for you or the group then you shouldn't try and fuck with them.
BT: "For hells sake, Shut up. I just want to tie this guy up so that we can take him with us till he decides he wants to talk. If he doesn't actually want to tell you the "Important thing" he wanted to and actually clear shit up, then let him. If you took a moment to think about it rationally, then this guy very obviously lying to you. He has something potentially very important and maybe even game changing to tell you, but apparently its not important enough to actually tell us while hes pinned down by the people who he wants to tell the info to. He tries to attack me when he perfectly knows that I would stop if he would prove that hes friendly. I would also like to point out that you have only just met this fucker, and his only testimony so far is that 'I have something important to tell you!'."
Alex stares at BT for a few moments, then replies "OKAY NUMBNUTS, HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO PROVE HE'S FRIENDLY? YOU'RE STANDING ON HIM. HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, (AND WHO CAN BLAME HIM), HE WANTS TO TALK TO ME! HE WAS LOOKING FOR ME! ME ME ME! SO YOU CAN TAKE WHATEVER PRECAUTIONS YOU WANT WITH EVERYONE ELSE, I WANT TO TALK TO HIM. AND YOU AREN'T THE BOSS OF ME."

Sadly, Blade cannot unmiss actions, as he totally lost his time travel gear in an unprecedented act of retardation.
He can, however, give the action the go-ahead now.
Emily hides all of her embarrassing paraphernalia, and then wakes up, with Mimi nowhere to be found. Oh, and she's also on a completely different planet. That's probably important too.

BT stares at Alex from behind his helmet for a moment, then reaches down, tears CA's head from his shoulders, and kicks it out of sight. "Whoop-"
The black armored fighter is left without even enough time to finish his sarcastic apology before Alex's axe collides with his head, dealing 11 damage and producing an impressive ringing sound. The very ground underneath the group shakes as Alex roars at the top of his lungs in a terrible fury, ready to back up his previous threat.
This place has turned into a STRIFE zone. Again. So, whoever is going to participate needs to roll initiative. Who they take up arms against is up to them. Incidentally, Alex has ALREADY used up his double or nothing power.

Initiative order is set (for now). For the sake of ease of use and dramatic tension, TB and TE will use the statblock freeform made for TE in the OOC thread. When apples posts, she can either roll initiative and be placed in the order appropriately, or take bottom initiative. Or sit this one out, if Emily would rather do that.

I'll roll this time, but in the future, make any rolls you would normally make.

Not necessary.
You fire a crossbow bolt at BT, but he slaps it out of the air. Holy crap! You move six spaces away. You move five spaces right because Claire is in the sixth space.
Claire moves into fightin' range with BT.
Alex shifts upright, pinning BT between himself and Claire before taking another mighty swing. Unfortunately, Alex no longer has the element of surprise working in his favor, and BT parries the strike with relative ease.

Hell yes they get brutal affronts. Also, 6 is unspeakably low. It should be 11. Also, said brutal affronts are 2d10.
But, ugh, failed confirmation. TB approaches BT to sock him in the face, but BT counters. TB takes 12 damage.

Okay, I'll take note of that for future battles and also for when we level up. Also I'm going to use the rolls you had previously. It'd be a shame to discard such high rolls because of the changes to the attack powers.
Being able to ping-pong BT with Alex is a great help, and allows Claire to land two solid blows on BT, causing him 23 damage! Afterwards, you back off, hoping to stay out of BT's melee range- He hit Alex like a train!
Speaking of Alex, the Mage of Rage backs up slightly, and takes a deep breath. Maybe he's composing himself? Ah, no, he's just taking a Second Wind.
>Alex: Engage Murder Mode.
"MY BROTHER WAS KILLED BECAUSE HE CHOSE TO DEFEND THE HELPLESS! DERSE KILLED HIM FOR IT! AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE STRONGER THAN I AM- I'LL KILL YOUR MURDERING ASS WITH MY OWN HANDS! MY BROTHER LIVES ON THROUGH ME, THE MAGE OF RAGE! MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR GOD!" Alex shifts left, netting him COMBAT ADVANTAGE against his foe, and then slams his axe into BT in a BRUTAL AFFRONT! Alex deals an astronomical 65 damage to BT, splitting the breastplate of his armor and knocking BT to the ground. Alex steps over the soon to be corpse of BT, and lifts his axe over his head. "IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, SAY IT. EVEN YOU DESERVE LAST WORDS."

Huh. Could've sworn we got past that. Anyway, you wake up on the plateau you fell asleep on earlier. The return node continues to shift and spiral above you, and your body seems to have made a full recovery from your earlier beating.
Troy is still nowhere to be found. That's somewhat disconcerting.

Mimi saw TB rubbing his grubby alien hands over his clocks and had a feeling she knew what he was going to do.

A couple members of the party try and remove BT's helmet, but either it was designed not to come off this way, or it was battered so much in the battle that it is now stuck in place. BT weakly struggles to push your hands away from his helmet.

You put a frowny face on the map so you know where to go in a minute, then head over to deal with Alex. He doesn't seem particularly likely to go deforesting any time soon, but he does look broken up. At least he isn't screaming into a withered tree anymore.
"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."

Steve's vision blanks for a moment, nearly causing him to panic, until visions begin to swim before his eyes. He sees Danielle holding a map- A small army of underlings- One Dersite standing over the rest, with a red patch on the breast of his doublet- and fire, fire, fire.
Steve's vision returns. What the hell was that?

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.
Hah oh wait, yeah Mikhael was in Mimi's house when he slept. What was confusing was that he was in her Land just before leaping into a gate that took him back to her house again.

The map isn't as precise as you'd like it to be, but you can understand relative distances on it about as well as you need to for this. You fire up your Seer powers again.
It looks like a military compound, except all of the tents are purple. You don't see anyone of a 'head honcho' persuasion though.

You confirm the Brutal Affront!
You decide not to give up the search so easily- You want to at least see who you're going up against! You look around for a tent that looks suitably opulent, which you quickly find and 'enter'.
There's a Dersite sitting behind a desk, smoking, and he has a diamond patch on his doublet. The doublet looks a lot finer than what the captured Dersite is wearing.
You drop out of your Seer state. Looks like you can only look for/at things for so long at a time.

You have a very short conversation with one of the prospitians. Apparently, there was a craft that refused to identify itself or change course. It was destroyed with minimal damage to Prospit. The prospitian also informs Alex that the Queen would likely desire to speak to him.

It looks like the house isn't built much higher than the second gate. Not high enough to reach the third gate, but it's not like you really know where you're going anyway. You shoot through the gate, emerging over yet another chasm. Well, where the hell will you go now? You're not seeing anything in the way of distinctive landmarks.

"Wa!t where are you go!ng who are-- um. Okay then."
She hears someone mentioning how nice it is to see people in person again. Her jimmies seem to be a little rustled at the moment because of this, for reasons that absolutely no one here will figure out.

You ask the prospitian who's in charge around here, and he tells you you can probably find the queen in the throne room. Just follow the carpet. Which you do.
CA: Bust into solo rendition of something from Troll Grease. Forget that that movie was illegal for several very good reasons.
You start singing one of the songs of the smash hit, Troll Grease. It's several hundred years old, hence the short name, but it is a classic story about a blueblooded gangster falling in love with a green blooded weapons researcher. Her work and his life of crime meant they would never be together, and though she eventually gave up everything to be with him, they were captured by the Legislacerators and culled.
Of course, the film protrayed them completely sympathetically, which is one of the reasons it was banned. The lewd lyrics in every single song didn't help its case.
But you only watched it because it was a controversial film! Really!
You belt out the song wherein lead troll Dainel Zukeco and his gangster pals rebuild a car to go pail with other trolls. You only remember when you finish that it is extremely explicit.
The snakes can do nothing but gape open-mouthed in horror.

A few minutes of exploration on the lower levels tell you this is a girls house through and through. In fact, there do not seem to be any hints of male life here. Anyway, there are a lot of lycanthrope centered novels lying around, as well as some video game systems and rapiers. There are also a few texts on Natural Laws, but they are fairly significantly outnumbered by the fantasy literature.
Is there a specific room you would like to explore?

[8+1+5 Stealth: 14]
Mimi and Steve poke their heads into the camp. Amazingly, neither one is spotted by the absolutely ludicrous number of Dersites and Underlings wandering around. Wagons are pulled by Ogres to stations where they are connected to machines that fill barrels with a yellow ooze. Administrators berate underlings for slacking off. Guards patrol.
It is a bustle of activity. There are a lot more enemies here than you've ever seen in one place before. No sign of the Diamonded Dastard, however.

Alex looks over and whispers back, though rather loudly. "WE COULD SET FIRE TO THE CAMP. IT'D PROBABLY SLOW THEM ALL DOWN, AT LEAST."

You charge at the God-Tier alien (???) who activates a previously readied action. He grabs you by your breastplate and launches you bodily into the nearby tv, headfirst. You take 14 damage.
The supervillain flies away, possibly to find a new hiding place.

You quickly knock out a map on the alchemiter. As soon as you view it, your brain fills with an impossible depth of knowledge about the land. Something tells you that this map may be slightly Eldritch. Possibly Wyrd.

Abandoning your plan to meet up with your team right away, you follow the map to the site of the ruins. Of course, at this point in time, they aren't really ruins. You make sure to avoid Echidna as best you can.
The temple appears pristine and new, but once inside, you find that the monitors are off, and the controls non-responsive. Nuts.

You stand around for a bit before you hear a noise overhead, similar to a plane, but smaller. A figure descends, strapped into a faded rocketpack.
"YO."
He looks like Alex, but he is significantly older. You'd guess a few years. Maybe a relative? As you ponder this, he unstraps an armlet and tosses it to you. It's identical to your time control armlet!

Perception: [5,6+16] = 27
The things that are most certainly flammable is the canvas of the tents themselves... Of course, the yellow goop in the barrels may be flammable, but you can't know for certain until you try. Searching for an appropriate thing to light takes time though; Make another stealth check.
Can you define better how one works so I can come up with a good test?
The Armlet consists of a small section you wear on the upper arm and the back of the hand, connected to a control pad that rests on the palm.
The device is capable of pushing you forward or backward along the timestream. As you ponder all of this, your native Armlet begins blinking with a deep red light on the back of your hand. After a few blinks, the new-to-you Armlet responds in kind for three beeps in unison with the original. The pair then abruptly stops.

You leg it out of the camp. Stealthily. You almost get spotted on your way out as what appear to be fire crews sprint past you to stop the damage you're causing, but you hide behind a broken cart for mere moments before fleeing the scene. The ground shakes slightly, accompanied by a heavy thud (both of which can be detected by the group waiting outside the camp) as a few barrels burn through and explode into what amounts to napalm. Shrieks of pain follow you out of the camp.

>Scry in the direction of the loud noises. [10, 8, +11: 29]
You wait for one of the sounds to go off, then scry in that direction. All you see initially is burning, so you pull back just in time to see a stack of five barrels give in to the fire and explode violently. They spray flame all over the near area.
>Set up a time loop. Have both to go back one hour, one to return in 1 hour and the other add a minute to that.
You attempt to lock in time coordinates into the armlets separately, but it seems they've linked, and you cannot set two independent loop settings. Oh well. You'd probably have just torn an arm off or something.

Mimi begins making her way into the burning camp just before CA's landing. She might be surprised to find Alex trailing after her. "IF YOU'RE GOING IN, YOU AREN'T GOING ALONE." His whispering needs work. Nothing seems to have heard though.
You can cover more ground more quickly with the attention of the camp firmly on the combustibles. Make three stealth checks. I'll make Alex's afterwards.

Where do you wish to go? Do you plan to meet up with the group?
You begin making your way to the group's last location known to you. Unfortunately, no-one thought to provide you with a map, so you're mostly going by landmarks. There aren't many, with all the jungle gone.
Make a Skaian Lore check. Make sure to add one to your roll, your sheet isn't up to date yet.

>Mikhael: Flip a coin. Heads for north, tails for south.
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.
[6,10]+14=30
You take a look around you at the local tree remains and notice that all of the spigots left in them are all facing one direction. You head where they're pointing. After a few moments, you spot a column of smoke rising in the distance.
Mimi, Steve, and Alex: Spot columns of smoke rising everywhere.
Seems that the saying "Where there's smoke, there's fire" is correct. If this area wasn't open air, you'd be cooked and smoked, like a rack of ribs. All three of you are sweating profusely, especially Steve. You try to make your way to the tent where the head honcho was staying, but there's a sea of flames in every direction.
Alex scores a BRUTAL AFFRONT on his stealth check as the three navigates a pathway further in. He silently points out a gap in the flames that could get you further into the camp. As you've moved farther in, you've noticed fewer and fewer enemies, and those you do see tend to be firefighting, or just panicking.

Confirmed! As you move still further into the camp, the fires around the three are running out of fuel. Mimi recognizes the place where the large tent used to be. It's mostly ash now, but you can see what appears to be an ash covered, miniature mausoleum inside. Patches of flame are still in the area, and some splintered wood continues to burn nearby. The air stinks, and breathing is uncomfortable. And it's still really hot. Almost as bad as LoPaV.
When there is smoke, there is fire, where there is fire there is chaos, where there's chaos there's PLAYERS. THAT WAY HOO!
You deduce that fire is usually a beacon that leads to troublemakers, so your friends are most likely that-a-way. You get walking.
>Mikhael: INVESTIGATE.
You land and take a look around, and manage to spot a trap door on the surface of the island. The inside reeks of mold and seawater. Frogs make an unbearable racket as you consider your next move.

You try to jam your helmet on tighter to keep the smell out, but it just blurs your vision, so you stop. You wander down through the sloping hallway, which gradually widens two a 30 foot or so wide passage before opening into a huge cavern. A narrow staircase leads down to the left, down to a narrow pathway to the other end of the cave. There appears to be some pedestal at the other end of the cave, but damn if you can tell what's on it.
"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]
It takes a few moments to lock on to him, but it seems mister Diamonds has called off the firefighting effort and is being escorted somewhere. Lucky for your group (or unlucky, depending on how you think about it), he left the camp in nearly the opposite direction your group is in.
Alex wanders into the burnt remains of the tent and kicks the Mausoleum. "WHAT DO YOU THINK IS UP WITH THIS?" A few explosions sound at the outer edges of the camp.
Emily, Claire, Danielle, and intruders: Be startled by nearby explosions and spreading flame.

Boy, you better hope not.
You see an opponent you've never seen before, a skeletal figure wearing armor. It elbows another like it in the ribs (literally!), and points at you. A basilisk behind them spits a fireball at you, but the creature's aim is off by a few yards.
Your move.

Oh. Wait. I thought that Lich was a Imp for some reason.
Shoot at Lich 1 then.
You shoot at the first lich using a basic aggrievement because you didn't choose a power. You blast it for 16 damage, angering it.
The other lich points to you, and fires a beam of dark energy at your heart. You don't maneuver quickly enough to dodge, and take 15 damage. The wound pulses painfully.
A faceless imp creeps closer. And I do mean creeps.
An imp brandishing playing cards also moves closer.
The monstrous, sword wielding Giclops thunders forward, shaking the entire cavern. Luckily, you are on your bike.
As one basilisk closes the distance towards the staircase, another shoots a ball of flame at you. The blast engulfs you and your jetbike, dealing 12 damage.
The lich you shot at raises his hand just as the other did, firing another beam of dark energy. You barrel roll to avoid it in the nick of time. Peppy Hare would be proud.
Another imp, wielding a sword this time, comes closer, ready to engage you.
As you prepare to act, your beam-wound burns again! You take another five damage.
You are currently at 25 hp. At the end of your turn, remember to make a saving throw against ongoing damage.

Whatever was up with that burn is gone now, and you fly back up the stairs, settling at the top in a defensive stance.
The lich who shot you before marches up the stairs and fires again, but you manage to dodge this time as well.
The faceless imp moves a bit closer, but the card brandishing imp stays in place.
The Giclops thunders forward again.
Both basilisks move toward the edge of the pit and spew fireballs at you. Neither one hits you, at least.

>Mikhael: Use Second Wind and total defense again.
You catch your breath, bringing yourself back to 55 hit points.
The closer Lich continues to climb the stairs, and fires another beam at you. Even with your guard up, he manages to hit you, dealing 13 damage.
The imps do nothing but shake in terror as the Giclops moves toward you. Or maybe that's the ground.
Both basilisks blast fireballs at you, but neither attack makes their marks.
The lich you managed to shoot earlier follows his companion up the stairs, and shoots at you as well. His attack lands as well. You take ten damage from the attack.

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.

Now that I think about, I don't know why the hell I even tried to fight on this map. The knight's ability set and half of my current Sylladex cards consist solely of Support Abilities (No allies), and Melee abilities (Too many ranged enemies/Open area with enemy controlled choke-point). Continuing conflict here is near-suicidal, and I really don't want Mikhael to die just yet.

You head back out the hall and open the trapdoor. The mildew scent is mitigated by the far more pleasant smell of the ocean. You sit down in the sand for a rest.
You fish a frog out from under your butt and toss it into the ocean.
>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.
You think back to the cavern's physical qualities and ways you could avoid the encounter. There aren't any that you can readily think of, aside from flying over that pit. And with all those ranged capable enemies... That could be dangerous if one of them hits you while you're in mid flight.
Also, you weren't able to retain your jetbike card. Do you want to try to draw for something from your personal sylladex, or the common deck?
>PA: Wave fer00ciously at Alex and Steve
Troy waves to his br00s. Steve and Alex enthusiastically return the greeting.
CA: WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT
A portion of the smoke clears enough for you to see a group of people milling about what used to be the center of a Derse camp. Huh.
CC: Continue traveling in a linear fashion.
You realize that you are now closer to Skaia than to LoSaJ.
> 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)
Claire and Danielle begin to make their way toward the rest of the group when they remember that aside from 'toward where everything is burning', they don't really know which way to go.

>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.
This island is like ten feet from end to end, and the only interesting thing on it is a pile of trash.
It occurs to you that if you changed out of your platemail, you'd most likely be able to swim from island to island.
You also still need to decide if you're going to attempt to draw from your personal Sylladex again.
"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."
"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."
"...I THINK THAT'S DANIELLE OVER THERE."
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.
You yank a fire extinguisher out of your sylladex, and douse the flames in your path. You are almost certain this fire will cause more damage to what remains of the jungle than it would have prevented.
CA: Attempt landing. Get hit into the sky by exploding debris instead.
Miraculously, it seems that the camp has burned down enough that it has stopped exploding. You land silently about fifteen feet away from the gaggle of children.
CC: Well so much for that. Go to one of the other Lands and see what hallucinations you run in to.
There are six you haven't seen yet. You see a grey and smokey one, a white and rocky one, a green one, a wet green one, a brown and rocky one, and another green one. Hm.

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."

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.

You descend to the surface of one of the green worlds. You spot a little red bird who takes one look at you and runs away screaming.
CA: OH HAI GUISE.

Claire and Danielle spot the others just as CA makes his presence known.
Seriously, when can we all be on pesterchum?

Everybody else did it.
You flush your hand and draw a new one. You receive: Greater Handcannon, Jetbike, Instashield, and Regisword.

The group of protagonists and various hangers-on arrive at Danielle's home. Surprisingly enough, there are various little snakes everywhere.
"ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE HERE?"
>Team: Check grist reserves.
The kids take a look at their grist caches, and realize with slight alarm that their cache is full to the brim in several categories, for each of them! Obviously, it it is time to blow it all on sweet new gear. Whose up first?
((Everyone gets an additional alchemy point, obviously Mikhael included, even though he isn't with the rest of the group. Merry Gristmas everybody!))

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 section
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.
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.

Anyway, that is indeed different from the 1.1 doc, and might have been changed? Although, the entire point of Alchemy mechanic has to do with having the cards, just like with Gamma World's Mutations and Tech cards. I mean, I guess just having passives is cool, it's just sort of boring.
Anyway here's the quoted section from 1.1
Quote from: 1.1 Defensive Alchemy Section
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.
And depending on what that downloaded version of 1.2 is (who am I kidding all of the 1.2 beta versions were horseshit, that we made), it's awful and I wouldn't trust it.
Sorry for bothering you about it.
