Only just noticed, but on my sheet in the IC the points in heavy armour have been put in med armour instead.

"In fact, you could call ours a heroic mission, if you prefer to think in such terms. But you haven't asked my most important question: How do you stay out of harm's way, unarmed as you are?"


The traveller is dressed warmly in a thick cloak over a chainmail byrnie. Little can be seen under his hat than a thick mustache and large beard - the wide brim shadows his eyes and face. He carries a glaive carried over a shoulder and a shortsword buckled at his waist.
"There a space by your fire, travellers?" he calls, stopping a short distance away.

Avis, I'll sort out your character - nice char sheet, by the way - and you can join them on the road in the morning.


Just reminding I exist, not trying to get on your nerves or demanding immediate airdrop.

Ah, yeah. I decided to have you join them at Minerva.

I'll be honest, I made your sheet then kinda forgot about you with the busyness and illness. Sorry about that.

Alright, no problem. Just PM me when it's time. Not that I don't read both threads anyway, but just in case.

I wonder how many people actually read it who aren't playing?

I've always wandered about that, too. But all those views can't be just us, right? Though I usually PTW if I'm really interested in a game I'm not participating in. On the other hand, I sometimes browse unrelated games when I'm bored, so maybe other people do that too. Plus you have to account for lurkers.

On an unrelated note, if you have my sheet written up, you could post it early so I can, you know, admire it and get happy thoughts. Or don't, if it's troublesome.

We're divine magic users, and are more susceptible to soul magic than the rest of you.
I don't think divine souls are 'worth more'.
Although if they are, that's a useful bit of information.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Rereading, it doesn't look like it's explicitly stated.

Magic

There are several kinds of magic in the world of Liesma.

DIVINE: ”As the Flame burns, so shall you.”
Power from a bloodline that mingled with the Gods. Often the descendants of such unions have unnatural features, such as scales or strange eye colours. Divine magic uses the Flame as a source of magic.
Penalties:
Gain Divine as a type
Soul magic contains new dangers for you

[My character sheet]
Type: Normal/ Divine

Traits: Godsblood: A severe weakness to (daemonic) weaponry and spells.

Obviously, having Divine as a type is bad, or it wouldn't be a penalty. "Soul magic contains new dangers for you" is vague. And that trait certainly makes me susceptible to soul magic. Scapheap's character doesn't have that trait, though, which is strange. Their backstory doesn't mention a divine ancestor, which might mean that only gods and those with significant divine DNA or whatever are weak to it.



By the way, how's that map coming, GM? ;)

Well, there's a few clues pointing to it.
When Soul magic was discovered, a great many Gods turned to it, and descended into daemonhood.

I'd normally think 'Soul magic is inherently evil', but mortals don't really seem to have a problem with it.

EDIT:
What are you guys wanting? Skip ahead to the next day or continue dialogue? Both? Tell me in the OOC.
I kinda backed myself into a corner for going for first watch- so I won't be talking to him unless he comes to say hi.
But others still might want to try and wheedle more answers out of him- and eachother.

Depends on the answer to his last question. Though if we will still get to wheedle answers out of him tomorrow, a time-skip should be fine.

Is this full, or is there one place left?
Just noticed it (I don't visit the main FG&RP board too often these days) and it looks interesting!
