Roll To Dodge / Re: Our Salvation: The Precipice of Revelation
« on: August 04, 2017, 12:40:56 am »
"Ah," Daniels replies, trying very hard to keep a straight face and partially succeeding. "Well I see I have no choice but to accept in that case. It's your honor and that of your school at stake, I wouldn't want any part in besmirching it."

He turns to Dan. "Dan, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend an awful lot of time with you over the next little while. If you get bored or anything, go find Pines, Fires, or Day - my assistants, I think you've seen them? - and tell them I said to entertain you in a non-destructive manner."

He regards Shores again. "Or would you be against Dan staying nearby and observing if he wishes, Shores? I doubt his unique body would be entirely suited to Move Like This, so it wouldn't spread the art past what you'd wish."

Fuck yeah I wanna learn to Move Like This, baby (figuratively speaking, I don't think anyone on board besides Dan would possibly count as a baby, and no doubt the more acid-scarred folks would be inclined to disagree on that account).

Shores was mostly worried she'd accidentally caused permanent damage, especially to that fascinating thought-construct. She would emphatically state that this was a purely professional and not at all personal concern for a useful sparring partner, Peaks relays amusedly, lest someone get the wrong idea.

"Yes, professional concern, of course," Daniels repeats, nodding assuredly. He's grinning just slightly, though.

Quote
When you produce the manikin, Peaks is surprised. Nabbed that during the feast? Yes, yes. It's not out of charge or anything, they last for a good bit of time. It's instead a failsafe of sorts, she explains - you'd be surprised at the kind of trouble a tiny clay man can get into when lost in the world without its master. In fact that's how the inventor of the manikin died, a very interesting-

-anyway, it's turned itself off for safety reasons. Suppose she could circumvent those. Give it here and she'll get back to you a bit later, it'll take a bit of work. You're going to be stuck here for a few days anyway as you proceed toward the Sky Rig, and from there into the heartlands.
"I shall leave it in your care, then," he says, handing the thing over to her. "I recall you were saying before the mishap you were considering experimenting on my substrate to find out some of its properties. I'm game to go forward with that so long as it doesn't involve mashing me into a pulp with a hammer like last time I tried it; did you want to try some of those now, or should I come back sometime in the next few days?"

Ascertain when a good timeframe for some experiments with Peaks would be - if now, let's go ahead, if not, we can slot time in in what appears to be an approaching timeskip. With that in mind, I'll list a few activities I'll try to accomplish during those few days:

- Go talk to Two Shores, assure her I'm alright, try to arrange another duel with her - perhaps we meet every morning for one if other duties don't interject? Try to ask about those scars she has and what her background with martial training is - she's understandably very impressive with the sword or without. Maybe have breakfast with her before these matches once or twice, it's a nice ritual, as she said.

- Interact with Dan some - get to know him - his personality, capabilities (without damaging the ship), that sort of thing. Maybe do some training with him or somesuch? Maybe Shores would like a friendly go.

- Experiments and such with Twin Peaks, as well as the manikin thing (see above).

- Fires, Pines, and Day are mostly free to do as they want provided they stay in easy contact with me so if I need them for something like entertaining Dan or figuring out what the manikin can do or carrying messages or whatever I can call them. See what my impressions of them are and such.

- Other than that, see if I have any duties as a member of the Vault of Heavens - get those done as well as I can if so. Try not to accidentally upstage the captain again, I'd be alright with trying my luck against him but he might be petty towards Shores again and I can't have that.

- Preemptively apologize to Harry Baldman for sending a small hill of text and contingencies his way.


((I'll echo everyone else in saying that I'm very glad this is back on - it's pretty much my favorite game on this whole forum.))

Which Chaos Gods do the vermin of the Imperium of Man worship
I mean the actual, genuine vermin, the rats that cross the stars with mankind and colonize every world man sets foot on. The space rat imperium of ratkind
Why, only the most magnificent of all vermin, the Great Horned Rat of course!

((Sorry if I'm a bit slow with posting, I'm on a trip for the next few weeks and might not have time to post. If I don't in time for a turn, I'm sure you can see a common pattern of behaviour, Ozarck.))

"Ah c'mon, really? Fucking amateur, I could do better with a piece of lettuce."

Welp, I've got nothing better to do, so I'll sing a bunch of ditties from my home dimension or wherever it is I'm from until someone comes to interact with me.

Yeah, the focus of the past couple of months worth of buildup has been around Fumbles, so I'd expect he becomes some sort of goblin avatar of the spirits or whatever.

Or just explodes, that is a possibility.

They were too busy fucking Dornish people to see them coming. Classic strategy

((Yeah, I'm not really trying to get anything impactful since I can't be bothered to try to figure out the system, so I just spammed everything, deciding on this last turn to take out the default geonome things which I'd been keeping in previously. It was fun anyhow :P))

Hmm. Waitlist me, please. Are we allowed to use characters from random franchises and stuff like in RTDPC?

Just wait for an opportunity! Subtly try to loosen my bindings if I can.

I just observed something kinda funny. In Euron's scene he disses the iron islands, calling them birdshit-covered rocks, yet two seconds later is boasting about the Iron Fleet.

I'm sure this has been laughed at forever ago, and in fact I think I do remember being perplexed by it last season - where the fuck did he get the wood for all those ships then?

659
Iirc the GoTmod for ck2 gives Euron an armour made out of Valyrian steel, presumably based on book sources. Give the difference from the series.
Yes. Euron is very, VERY different in books.
nevar forget flamboyant evil one-eyed wizard pirate rapist king

Episode was actually not so bad, apart from all the inconsistent shit but hey that's kinda how it's evolved, I've come to peace with it.

"Can't catch me, I'm the stabby stab man!"

Roll away! Or wait, how exactly am I restrained? If my feet aren't, just run away.
