Update"No sir, but you're welcome to this one. Consider it an apology for showing up in your claim. Folks call me Lucky. Would you be able to tell us where we are? This don't look like the trailer park."
Talky stuff. Give the man the beer.
(4 + 2 = 5)"
Nah, but take this one. I've probably had me one too many." Luckey says, returning the grin. "
Sorry bout the whole mix up with your claim and what not. To tell the truth, I don't think any of us know quite how we got here. Where is "here" anyways?" (you have lost your "Cold Beer")
The man takes your beer, but puts it away in his pack, choosing instead to light a cigarette. Cupping his hands to suppress the wind. He is visibly more relaxed now. "
Yea, sounds about right. You folks don't look like you exactly know what you're doing out here. Well... dosent look like you took any of our stuff, so I don't think we got any quarrel here. Tell you what, I owe you for the beer, so why don't we give yall a ride back to our camp? There's a few guys there what could explain the situation a bit better than what I could, and you would probably all end up dead if we left you were wandering around out here too long." He drops his smoked out cigarette in the sand steps on it. "
Lots of nasties in the sand" he says with a vague gesture. "
That's if you want to come anyways."
You decide not to tell him that the glove your friend is wearing was originally from his "claim".
Say nothing, let new friend do the talking, stare down anyone who looks me in the eye.
(3) You make an intimidating sight, shirtless and beaten, but still staring defiantly at the group encircling you. The woman with the notepad glances up shyly at you and you give her a death glare. She is studying her notepad intently now. Job well done.
My name is Antonio Valdez. What might yours be?
Act cool. Don't provoke them
((Luckey is already green, so you're going to be... orange?))
"My name is Inigo Montoya" no wait, thats not right.
"My name is Antonio Valdez. Who might you be?" (4) You manage to look pretty cool while doing this.
The man The man turns to glance at you when he answers.
"Turner" he points a finger at the tall leathery thing with glowing eyes.
"That's Skins." He points at the woman studying the notebook.
"That's Jessa"-snip-
Na Shugareth added to Lucky's and Antonio's talk in a monotone voice :
"Is your species anything interesting ?"
((your glow is red, because I can't pick out the other color from normal text.))
You search in your mind with caution for traces of these beings. (eldritch memories) (3) Shugareth knew many past and future. Something is recognised in your subconscious. Only the leader was actualy from this place. This "world"? The others had all come here like you had, in some sense. You try to see more, but something makes you feel like this is a bad idea. An uneasiness begins to arise as you probe these memories. You decide that is enough for now.
"Is your species anything interesting ?"The creature designated "Skins" turns to answer you question, regarding you with burning violet eyes.
"Is your's?"Nivian feels an impulse to speak out, but suppresses this, given the care the others are showing. Apparently this is bad?
Can I detach a small part of my body to enter the cockpit of one of the craft? Keep it spread out over the ground like a pancake and invisible, preferably.
You swish some nanites about nervously, but you can't go far from you resonator. One of the men on the land ship gives you a suspicious look as he passes on your side.
If you choose to board a craft, tell me which one. There is a pod racer (2 spots), a land ship (3 spots), the robo horse (1 spot), The dune buggy (1 spot), and a sled tethered to a giant sand worm (2 spots)
Turner is piloting the Pod racer, Jessa is in the land ship, and Skins is Piloting the sled. The Dune buggy also has a 50 cal mounted on the back. It is being manned by a man wearing a dusty suite.
((Until you have a bag or something you can only have one item in your inventory. (Your starting item never takes up an inventory space though))
Status:Inventory: nothing!
Item: Lucky Shamrock- +1 Luck (I had to nerf this to +1. Stat points are very powerful.)
Ability: Fortuitous Coincidence- Lucky tends to always be where he should, and never where he should not. This allows him to avoid an otherwise harmful situation or attack through being in the right place at the right time, or at least not in the wrong place at the wrong time. He also tends to have better results than others when his luck comes into play.
Ability:Luck Magnet -If ever there is a character with luck greater than lucky, he takes thier luck points during interactions until thier luck is either less than or equal to his own
Item:
-Fallen Starshard of Shugareth :
A mysterious black shard gifted to its minions by Shugareth before it disappeared. It emits a troubling light and faint whispers can be heard coming from it sometime. It protects Na Shugareth from unnatural effects to some extent. Embedded in the heart-side of the chest.
Ability:
-Eldritch Memories :
Having been a part of Shugareth, you have many thoughts not you own. Sometimes, these come to you without bidding, but if you desire you may also search the echos of your eldritch mind. Use caution, many things known by Shugareth were not for mortal minds. Not even one like your own. ((Basically, this just lets me force plot exposition on you if I need to, but you can still use it yourself to identify things or check the plot and stuff like you had it before.)) [A plot-tracking ability]
-Cleansed from corruption: When Shugereth died, you were freed of his influence. You, who were so intricately a part of him. This was never thought possible. As such, you understand the nature of influence and corruption (and it's removal) in a way that no other thing in existence does. You may not only identify the various supernatural influences on people and objects, but attempt to roll to remove them.
