Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

What he did was within the bounds of the rules. Not doing GM handwaiving here.
Alright, just gonna believe this, cause dun wanna spoiler myself moar with checking, but I dun know of a word of power that teleports you a short distance and can be used in addition to the shield spell also cast as reaction.. then again, perhaps he stopped casting the shield thing.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

It's not literally the spell "Power Word: X"

I was merely describing his verbal spell component as a 'word of power.'

Not exactly happy with you peeking at stuff though. Can't stop you, but don't see the point of it.

If you look at the Mad Mage section, you'll see a major spoiler which would ruin a reveal. So just be content knowing that he's a high level magic user who's not meant to fight the party (he just attacked the vampire you brought with you...)

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

I want to avoid it, but same reason I read Van Richtens guide on vampires, wanted to know moar about the inspiering lewdities Ludmilla -could- do with Rovana, the other issue we talked about in pm, Rovana getting curbstomped by everything is getting kinda depressing for acting the daring-do pirate, at this point Sylvie feels kinda moar heroic and she hasn't tried. ^^

Blarg, are you annoyed with what's going on with Offalia?

Woohoo! Posties out for IC thread. Time to work on MIsties of the North Thread.

The tension and stuff happening in IC thread is real interesting. I wonder how this will go.

No I am not. Offalia's pretty cute. She seems like what I would play my derpy turboslut characters as.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Performance =/= Persuasion.

Two separate skills, for a reason.

Basically, they all appreciate your piratey yarn.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Okay. So this is my streeeeetch at basically saving Kasimir in reserve for when ye other group eventually takes on this quest (maybe).

Emphasis is on scouting, because Mt. Ghakis is high level. Note, there's no time limit, you don't *have* to do this right away if you don't want to.

ALSO, Joe is going to be flying nearby quite soon. I'll probably have him mentioned in the next post.

That is the same mountain Rovana has to visit to find knowledge on Dagon though, ye?

And.. exactly Rovanas thinking, that scouting will be done by the undead parrot with her 99 ft behind and ready to run...

Rovana is actually an exeptional scout, while she lacks perception, she has high stealth and high initiative, and the rogue abilities to just.. outrun a lot of shit going down, exspecially on uneven terrain where you can't charge her and if she gets the mariner fighting style wich turns her walking into climbing. ^^

p.s. Whilest IC Rovana is too srs atm, OOC I will now make a joke about there still being a chance for Barovias ash-elves to repopulate, if the Banshee can be.. fully revived and then nudge Diagas with a wiggling of eyebrows.

They're not grey elves / ash elves.

They are dusk elves.

I reject your version of reality/lore and insert my own.

PS: yes it's the same mountain.

@Posted mists in the north post. Kept getting moody during writing of post.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Moody due to the post itself?

I'm assuming Malena is going to follow through on the druids grove quest at this point. If that's no longer something she's interested in, she'll have a falling out with Sigrunn most likely.

Nah just being moody. The post I tried doing it last time I posted in IC thread but got distracted by stuff.

Yeah! Malena is going to do the groves quest first. She imagines that it is going to take 2 to 3 months for all royal troops to assemble at the latest and the earliest 2 to 3 weeks. Giving her plenty of time with her small party to get to quest, solve it or figure it out, and get back to Veikanger. Going to be working on Mists of the North post.

Vita post up.

Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion

Nice.

An extremely fast response for assembled tribes with fighting units to gather at Veikanger, assuming no weather difficulty, unexpected delays, errors in communication, and no refusal by the Jarls to heed the call, would take about 2 weeks.

The reality is that a lot of unexpected things will happen, so yeah, Malena has some free time. It's unusual that several Jarl's forces have already started to march unbidden by a royal summons, but even so, Malena will have enough time to take care of this quest... hopefully.

(Or she'll become some sort of breeding slave for a monster. Theeeeeen she might be late.~)
