Twisted Fates SD: Interest and Recruitment

I thought meet up with the warriors, then rescue op.

Have been a little busy so I could only make short posts, but I expect to be able to make a bigger one this evening.

Now that sliverlord has posted (3 out of 5) I'll move things forward. Unless told otherwise you're heading for brillback. Its not going to be easy to convince him to go along with you. In fact i'd say its 50/50 whether he'll attack you. Bright side: perfect opportunity for samuel to pick up his trait... if he's figured it out that is....

Yeah, that's what I thought. Are our new players still here? Citrakite, Exterminatus, Slasher?

I'm definitely here, just waiting for the next episode/daily period to start up.

It has started. You're character is currently being held captive by the Ember Fiend along side Sally, Slasher and Citrakite. Other people are also being held captive, some are being turned into Burning Souls. You're character is level 5. You can do a post about what's going on from your perspective, what happened before you were captured or a post of your escape from the Lv10 Elemental.

Having my opening move being captured seems a bad way to start out.

I'm not going to hold to my arbitrary limits when they're not necessary. Roughly 45 minutes has passed since the beginning of the event. Characters on the waiting list can join now and write up how those 45 minutes have passed for them, provided that they end up at Dobson Hall whether it be as potential sacrificial lambs, scoping out the situation for a rescue, or simply bumbling into it.

IC post up in the next couple of hours.

I have no clue what the hell's going on. Best I can tell you're all traveling away from the building with the flame whatever yet I'm suppose to be there.

Well, from what I can tell we're headed around to the park because we were going to meet with some other forces so we didn't just Leeroy our way into a fight with a massive fire-demon. We also have you to rescue in the park.

We're on our way, but it's a slightly off route.

Citrakite,

Honestly, I hadn't expected the group to go there rather than straight to the fight with the Emberfiend. If you want to just meet up with the group or run into Brillback's crew, that's fine too. If you want me to specifically set up your character's initial situation, I can do that too.

Sliverlord,

I hadn't expected you to make use of the random encounter like that. Nice.

Trait gained: Perilously Persistent Pacificator

Perhaps not the most badass of traits but it has its uses. Getting it before dealing with Brillback was certainly advantageous.

What Park?

If I was a hostage/sacrifice I'd be to the east. The Park is south.

I had a minor problem just figuring out where stuff would be. If there was a archery club you'd think it be with the other sports but that's to the far south and I got 45 minutes to get from the library (that's now a tree) to there and back. In the same time the first group has gone through one building and across the street and fought 5-6 times.

Simplest thing to do is find a creature that has a bow, kick it's ass and take said bow. Brillbacks crew is useless to me for that. I still have to wonder if an elf would even use an orc's bow in the first place. Not like I can kill a medusa for hers, I have no weapons right now and no levels in badass.

I'm not sure what to write about. Sure I could do my take on the various encounters but dang. I'm not the plot master and I don't want to mess anything up. Plus I don't want to do short posts because they feel empty.

Silveraith,

Short posts have their place. And at some points they're kind of required when interacting with npc's I'm controlling. A short post can be quite the opposite of empty when you add your characters thoughts and reactions which I know you're quite adept at doing (not that I don't enjoy your long posts!)


But I do need to know your actions in approaching Brillback.

The encounters are there if you want to engage them but its not necessary.

Gotcha. I'll get something up after class. I must be sneaking with which tabs I have open.

Stupid question but I just post now right?

Go for it.

So where is the group going anyway? I was just following them.

WHOO! Trait acquired...

I'm going to assume that my trait is based on my continuous attempts to defuse situations before they turn into the sort of situations where one requires a mop instead of a rope for cleanup... I like to play the odd-man out for characters. I'm a fan of bards for their diplomancy... But this should be fun...

Not that I won't attack, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. As shown by nomming the cat. It's just that I'd rather not end up in such a situation where I'm surrounded by delicious and addictive blood, and this party needs a diplomat, we've got an excess of fighters...

This is going to be fun.

Annoying yes, but when I kill someone do I determine what they have within reason, is that solely your thing or can it be hybrid like a found a bow, quiver of arrows, a long knife and a leather pouch and you tell me how many arrows I got and what's in the pouch?

Basic weaponry and equip is fine for you to decide. I'm not going to be utterly controlling about this. Magical weaponry and equipment would be my decision. I just ask that you put some modicrum of detail in how you acquired your kit.

I threw him from a second story balcony after distracting him and then broke his neck using my thighs.

Mention that in your post and you're good

Sorry for the lateness in my post.

done and done

GothicJedi,

The group is currently approaching Ghnash's group of orc and goblins. Check the latest map link: Epic Journey.

Silveraith,

No problem at all.

Citrakite,

Great post. Exactly what I was talking about in using your own creativity to build the world. You certainly earned your weaponry. I'll set up the scene for your character as well as move the other group along some time today.

ATTENTION

Okay, that probably wasn't necessary but I didn't want to double post and I wanted the people who'd already seen this post to check out the new info:

Due to Lord Drenghul’s absence, his character is now separated from the group. He’ll be re-introduced should he return before the conclusion of this episode.

Burning Souls, all of these guys are low enough that you can pretty much kill them at will. How does one kill a creature that is essentially a wispy person made up of flame? (Besides the obvious elemental options.) Passing metal through the place where their heart would be if they were human (Why? Because it releases the trapped soul, of course! A totally not contrived solution, I know…). That makes them pretty unstoppable for your unarmed mark one human but perfectly doable for your group. Though the sheer number of them may become an issue…

As to the main group, Brillback's crew is approaching. You all have one post before he commits to his attack. Do what you will...
