DM Salsa Presents: The Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master AdamWarnock

The goblin horde has been shattered. Sandpoint's heroes have proven themselves capable, but will they be able to defend their home from the things that lurk in the dark.

Salsa, I am 1000% cool with this. That would probably be different if Spoony was in a nightmare where he couldn't fight back (similar to Pavanna, Noro, or Saroune), but as it is, this is awesome stuff. It's hard, and I've had to walk away from the posts and read them in chunks, but if it'll be worth it in the end, I trust you. Keep in mind, I made a character specifically for you to torture. I wouldn't do stuff like that if I wasn't down with earning my happy ending.

Not to mention... Due to my split, there was something incredibly cathartic and powerful about getting to write a post of Horatio screaming and throwing things at an ex-lover. I keep imagining these scenes as cinematic, or cutscenes in a video game. Dramatic music and all.

I love you guys. Let's get through this, and the bard will pull himself together long enough for a badass pep talk. :D

(Also, everyone's posted, so let's get that update!)

I'm waiting to see what everyone says before deciding what to do. As it stands, I'm considering just axing everything past walking into the nightmare and letting you guys write it out. The way I did it has the lack of player agency as a concern that was brought up privately, which happened to lead to my previous post since I feel that I have somehow screwed up pretty badly.

salsa, I am enjoying this. Noro has lots of fears,, she just keeps everything bottled up and hidden.

you have hit her exactly where she needs to be hit. she needs to confront these fears.

As you know I purposely made Noro somewhat flawed, she was a broken person coming into the game and that is intentional.

I would keep everything as planned. or maybe find a really good compromise along the way.

BTW I hope my questions sent privately indicated anything of the sort. I simply wanted to know the limits of my narrative to prevent ruining the story.

One of these days I will have to send you Noro's pre-planned deathbed monologue.

Noro can help you with that Happy ending. She may open a Tien Massage Parlor.

Not that kind of happy ending! He doesn't have to work for that.

Don’t get me wrong, Salsa: going through the characters’ traumas and worst nightmares like this is a magnificent RP idea. It’s just that there’s a writing-glitch in the execution of Pavanna’s scene that effectively cut my/her options down to zero.

long explanation, including spoilers for the nightmares of Noro, Thirzin, Horatio and Olivius:
Look at each scene as written. Thirzin, Horatio, Noro — they’ve all had openings in the scene where they could turn it around and interact with their tormentors in a meaningful fashion. Noro’s been able to call her attackers out for being the dickless wonders they are. Horatio’s screaming at ‘Flynn’ was phenomenal. Thirzin powered through his injuries to go rage-monster on ‘Bruthazmus’. Olivius’ scene so far is unnerving, but nothing irrevocable has happened yet, and he could still sidestep a Bad End or even turn his confrontation with his ‘father’ into a catharsis.

Pavanna was actively looking around for her attackers, readying to defend herself. She’s spent the major part of her entire life since that day learning how to fight, so she’ll never be that helpless ever again*...
... and yet, the scene you wrote completely bypassed any possible defensive action on her part. She went straight from anticipating an attack, to manhandled and head-under-water, without any chance to do anything. No chance to cast spells, or invoke Iomedae’s assistance, or even remember the basics of CQC employ hand-to-hand combat techniques. You basically wrote my character — a well-trained and experienced fighter — taking a dive to further the plot. (Hell, even people who take a dive do it knowingly and wilfully, and this was neither.)

As I said in my PM, I can see how that exact helplessness is entirely the point of hitting her with this particular nightmare — this is supposed to be one of her worst fears made manifest — it’s great fodder for later RP, and it’s probably how things would play out if the situation ever occurred to Pavanna in ‘real life’. It’s just that the scene currently reads and feels like a “rocks fall” moment. :-S

* In all fairness to you, I didn’t make this clear from the outset... mostly because I only just realised myself how key a formative moment her near-drowning was to Pavanna. I’d always intended for her to be the (relatively) well-adjusted and sane one of this team, the one who didn’t have mental scars anywhere near this deep.

That said, scrubbing this whole sequence would be overkill, especially with the RP gold the others have produced from their ‘nightmares’. It’d be enough to ret-con Pavanna’s scene so she spots her attackers in time to do something before they overwhelm her. I’m not asking you to let me write an unarmed 5’ 4” woman in civvies murderising three larger men in Hellknight-plate, and I’d most-likely refuse to do that even if you offered. I’d just like the chance to insert a bit where she can put up some resistance before things move on to the waterboarding portion of the programme.

And a final thought on the matter: of course you do realise that after this, if Pavanna ever encounters any of these three bastards again, in anything even resembling an adversarial context, she’ll happily dash their brains all over the cobbles and step over their corpse(s) without a second thought? ‘I will give honor to worthy enemies, and contempt to the rest,’ and all that.... >:)

Just a thought here, on the Pavanna thing? Is it possible that what you did, though, IC, was the overcoming? It's not as blatant, but in my mind, Pavanna's faith is the cornerstone everyone has gotten to know her by. And even when she should have been cursing her deity, her life, and everything...she didn't. She put herself completely into Iomedae's hands.

I never expected to really say this, but I think your response is one of the most powerful nightmares, and an equally powerful response. Kind of reminds me of the burning Buddhist protester.


BattleMaps | Chronicles of Kassen | HeroLab Files | Loot Sheet

Alright, I'll have something revised up when I've had a chance to clear my head a little bit.

As for avoiding bad ends. Well, I guess it's not going to be too much of a spoiler, but things are still not going to end well in anyone's dreams. That isn't to say that your actions don't have an affect. I'm having to revise what I had planned for Thirzin's, Noro's, and Horatio's nightmares because of what they did.

As for what's going to happen to those three if they ever cross paths with Pavanna again, I wouldn't expect anything less.

and in light of this, this is going to be going for a little while longer, so I can avoid making a mistake like that again.

@Thirzin re:Pavanna
I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes the hardest thing to do isn't to rail and threaten bloody retribution, but to give up your right to that and just fall into the arms of your god. I thought pavanna's response was wonderful and powerful, especially coming from a personal background of deep faith.

I'll echo some of Pavanna's sentiments. I like the concept of the nightmares, but it does seem like each character has varying levels of agency. There's only so much Saroune can do in her predicament, which certainly feels nightmarish.

I certainly don't think that the whole thing should be scrapped though. The scenes aren't over and I feel like these tools can make for some awesome moments. Just my 2 cents. :)

I will say it seems a little odd that overall, the guys seem to have more agency than the girls... Noro's tied up, Saroune's in chains, and Pavanna's being held down, while Thirzin, Olivius, and Horatio haven't been restrained in any way. Could be it's unintentional and I'm just noticing it because I tend to be quite critical of the way female characters get treated in media, but it just seems unusual.

As for Pavanna, I enjoyed the post. The frantic need for survival, then the acceptance and prayer to be welcomed to Iomedae's side... It was powerful. On the flipside, I can understand the desire for more chance to do something. I'm not the one being affected here, so it isn't my place to make suggestions, but I do understand. I just hope this whole event isn't retconned out, because there's some real turning points here.

(And sorry for spoiling your plans, Salsa. I'd like to know how this was originally supposed to go sometime :P)

I'll say that THIS nightmare, Thirzin came out better (so far). The last one, though? There's a reason Thirzin went full drunkard. I think there are plenty of twists and turns left. And Thirzin? The only thing pushing him onward is pure and uncompromising rage at this point. He'll probably be unable to do anything.

I'm thinking this is teaching all of us about our characters in ways none of us were initially expecting. And it definitely brings the group together. Personally, I think it's a great character building exercise (no pun intended).

Ok, well maybe somewhat intended.

Ok, so...TOTALLY intended.

There’s probably a lot to that, you jokers. I’ll probably even see it that way once I get a chance to cool off and reflect. I just... like a lot of guys, I have a streak of control-freak to me, and I have a particular image of Pavanna, and seeing her actions taken from my hands so she could get chumped* like that was red-rag-to-a-bull time from both standpoints. :-S

Nonetheless, thank you all for the kind words. I’d hoped to invoke a “let go, and let God” kind of feeling, but you never know if it’s going to come off right. [shrug]

* Knee-jerk first-impression at the time. May not be accurate or well-considered, unlikely to bear close examination, probably subject to revision.

It is unintentional. To be honest in Olviius' or Thirzin's situations I'd be a basketcase and completely unable to do anything, and perhaps I wound up projecting myself onto them, and to be honest I was a little blindsided by how Horatio and Thirzin reacted.

I am a guy, but I play a lot of women in the games I'm in and I try to write them as people. That doesn't mean they don't have their issues. Kiley's still trying to deal with grief and has some low self-esteem. Joanna's very unsure of herself and Ronnie knows that she's in the process of coming unglued after losing a friend and failing to protect some people she saw as under her care. Ping, well, we all know what Ping's issues are.

I'd like to think I've done a good job of portraying them as people and characters with agency, but now I'm feeling a little self-conscious.

Anyway, I'm not going to scrap this, though I will be redoing Pavanna's from right after it goes downhill.

I get that. Everyone needs to have fun, and it can be annoying when things don't work out with the plan you had for your character. I hope everything can be sorted out. :)

@Salsa - live and learn! I haven't had any problems with the female PCs you've played - you do a great job of making compelling and nuanced characters. That's probably why this caught me a little off-guard. I didn't think it was something you did deliberately; it's a common mistake to make. Don't be self-conscious. I'm just a nitpicker :)

I'm sorry to blindside you, I really am. I didn't know how this was going to pan out, so I went for drama. There are still ways to turn it around and really torment Spoony. :P

FWIW, I’ve PM’d Salsa a suggested rewrite that (I hope!) strikes a balance between his story-goals and my (macho?) need for Pavanna to get a couple of shots in before things really go sideways for her.
I got a little stroppy and obstinate about this — probably a little too much so. (My sense of social appropriateness is... shaky, even at the best of times.) I figured it behooved me to try to meet our GM half-way.


BattleMaps | Chronicles of Kassen | HeroLab Files | Loot Sheet

Don't worry about it, guys and gal(s). I'm good now and I'll be updating things today. As for getting blindsided, it's good to be kept on my toes. :D

@Trace: Thank you of what you sent. I would have let you write it all out if you wanted. The only stipulation would have been that it be one of Pavanna's worst nightmares.

Actually that option's still open for anyone that would like to take it.

What option? Cause that was nightmare fuel for Thirzin. There's a reason why Rangers have the favored enemies they do. Big hint for Salsa here.


BattleMaps | Chronicles of Kassen | HeroLab Files | Loot Sheet

To write it out yourself, but some of you have made it pretty clear that you wouldn't be taking me up on that offer.

As for the Favored enemy thing, well. It's about to get a lot of mileage, let's just say.

@Asuriel: Yay, glad to have you back, if only somewhat. I would like you to know that you are welcome to write up Asuriel's nightmare if you feel I haven't hit the mark. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the show until we get out of this. (Which should be soon-ish. It depends, really.)

@Saroune: Just to clarify, your being given a choice of trading your soul for revenge or being used as payment for someone else's power. I'm sorry if there was any confusion there.

@Everyone: Rejoice, we should be done with Book 1 by February. It only took, what, 2 and a half years. :D Not sure when Book 2 will get started since I have a couple of little interlude things that I want to do so we can unwind a little. Don't worry, no dream sequences this time.

Just a heads up, in case you missed it, I'm starting up a Fate Core game. Currently I'm recruiting, so if you are interested, check the thread here: Recruitment Thread

I'm actually a little shocked by the lack of interest. I understand that APs and Pathfinder games are the most popular, but it's surprising what the difference is.

AS for this game. I'll move things on tonight. I was planning on ending the nightmare thing at the same time, which is the reason it's played out a little slow, but we'll pick the pace back up soon.

Could I trouble you for a couple of clarifications before I start composing, Salsa? My compulsion to have details to work off of is playing up again. :-S

—» Do we remember any/all of our previous ‘experience’ in the nightmare before we move on to this one, or is this particular dream completely distinct from the foregoing one?
—» On that note, do we retain any injuries we picked up in the previous scene, or are we ‘fresh’? (Pavanna still having a broken sword-hand might make any interactions or activities awkward.)
—» Also, gear-and-garb-wise: are we still as we stood at the end of the last scene? Fully tooled-up for business? Somewhere in between?
