The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

I never had the impression auras were a singular color as much as a signature of the Patron, perhaps infused or mingled slightly by the Champion.

I.e. A simple color scheme would make me sad if true.

I agree with this. Ephebe's for example, was described similarly to an ever-flowing 'sand' type effect (as in, the Sands of Time), whereas some of the other descriptions seek to inspire emotion rather than, say, colour.

Remember that the auras aren't necessarily restricted to mere sight - and certainly not to any colours that we mortals would recognize. These are mind-boggling powers we are dealing with, and our characters have been equipped for such things by their status as Champions. We need not restrict ourselves to what mortal senses might offer ;)

To me, this means, be creative and ask the Champion's player if you aren't sure.

My asking was for Ace's eventual aura, just trying to make sure I come up with one that isn't already in use.

However, if I am not limited to just colors, then I'm sure I can figure something out.

Shadow Lodge

A thin aura of the feeling of being lied to?

What's that have to do with Destiny?

Ah, I got confused. I was thinking of Deception.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Nala's aura is sparkly. Because that seems appropriate for Luck. Just a general impression of sparkliness. :)

And I've already described Ephebe's as mentioned by FCD.

And Keme doesn't have a Champion aura anymore.

Mostly I leave the description of Champion auras entirely to the player's discretion.

Speaking of Champion auras....is Tybs perchance not in conversation with people right now? If Tryko'Sam and Asha aren't going with him to check on Melody that means he's walking along in the hall right? I've only been looking for an opportunity for this for weeks now...Mercy is patient, but it's getting a bit ridiculous. ;P

I'll post something for Dom when I can. I've been rather busy.


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

I'm not sure if they've decided to split yet.
I know I need to post, so let me lookasee. ;)

Tybs' aura has a visual, but comes with a sense of total non hostility. You get the feeling that there is nothing you could do to make him want to hurt you.
(Not that there aren't things, but that's how it feels. ;) )


I don't worry about Champion auras.

never get involved in champion stuff I say.

(don't have a champion character to worry about...)

Hey Lyn, I know you've been super busy this semester, and a lot of your PCs aren't doing anything important, but could you update us on them at some point?

Dennis, Tamina, and Morrivan are the ones I'm interested in, but if you could do them all, even in one big OOC post as opposed to in character posts for each one, I would appreciate it.

Why do you say Adon had any connection with madness?
This is amusing I me because of [redacted]


Female [Classified] Bard 16 / [classified] 16

what is it with all this redacted stuff.

I am starting to feel like...

you know on a long bus trip and the bus stops to get gas and you get off to use the restroom. but when you come out your bus is gone and now you have to find another bus to get where your going...

Two. SPOILERS


But we talked about it here in discussion before. It's not spoilers.

Adon's thing was entirely under spoiler tags. You read it anyway.

no, you haven't gone near the upper limit of character power

I'd say most of your characters are either Par or Birdie

Your characters are fine. The virus is an antagonist. Those are allowed to be off the charts crazy. It's what it takes to challenge folks at Avalon, at the level of power they're currently at.


Yeah, but then I rolled a 1 on my Will Save. ;D

Hmmm. Actually I mentioned what all of those three were doing, it's just been a while. Dennis was directing ground traffic control while Jiminy was directing things at the sun. Dennis might make a brief appearance to explain to Jiminy that Aananda has temporarily appropriated the factory facilities to manufacture antiviral nanites to treat a plague. Tami was comforting Morrivan who was having a hard time dealing with both her cousin's death and her breakup with Sadie. I should probably have them show up for dinner soon. I just hadn't quite got around to it yet.

Also, in Kuros, was there anything else you guys were wanting to do specifically or are we just going to handwave/narrate the rest of the cleanup? I don't want to drag things out past the point that people found things interesting. And who was supposed to be showing up with that demiplane? Also, what happened with the whole request from Ghalen to the headmaster about contacting Tyrrin's mom to help determine if the virus was able to be contained in Kuros or not?


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

I'm trying not to move things forward too much at the moment since wrapping up the Kuros stuff, the last shuttle coming down from the sun, and the aftermath from all of that is all going to happen in rapid succession once I do and I'm waiting on some answers from people that I need in order to move things along. In case anyone was wondering why I hadn't posted to the game thread in a while.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Hmm...

What happens if i turn one of the infected into an animal? Does the virus go away with the body, at least the first time?

Sounds like the Kuros team could use a lot of walls. Like. A lot.

I had Tyrrin come in and fill people in. Other than that I'm good to move forward. I thought we were waiting on Ryo for the last bit with Denulia.

Tyrrin's out of her Wall of Force spells for the day. :(

All that happens is you get an infected animal. The virus is...persistent. Also partially magical.

Drat. Ah well, settro will try it anyway, it just won't do anything in the long run.

Alright, then I'm just waiting for the scene with Ryo to finish before I update.

If it is moving on to the night I will have the team Avatar set up camp for the night at the shrine way-station.

Let me get through this next part first. The firebird evacuation ends just before sunset.

"Sun" set....

(Krillan! Too soon!)


Ok I know this has nothing to do with the game or gaming at all, but,As an animal lover and dog owner I thought this was something I needed to share.

Hey Lyn, this was part of my last pm, and I'm not sure if there was anything else important in that one, but I can ask this here:
If you would allow it, would controlling the actions of my bottled slimes be a feat, an int based skill, or a language I just tell the what to do in?
Either way, I would like to take Ooze as a language. It would be fun for him to talk with them. Also would be fun for him to understand what Roel says when he makes those noises.
This is just something I wanted to finalize before I post for him.
Not that it's holding anything up, I still don't know where I'll put him in.
:)


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Ooze "language" is a set of very simple "words" conveyed through various sounds.

The "words" have no real "translated" meaning, and transmit mostly "emotions" and weather the subject is prey or not.

Is two sentient individuals were to share it, it would likely allow a sharing of emotions beyond what normal language would allow, just below empathetic telepathy.


And?
Even if it's just food, bad, good, afraid, moving, stay, not food, that's still more or less a very very simple language.

Edit because edit: That.... would actually be a great thing for relationships. Turn both people to oozes and tell each other how you really feel. Like REALLY feel. Heh...


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Not saying it's a bad idea, just describing it.

Just because you've got the body, doesn't mean you know the language.

Transforming into a fire elemental doesn't teach you how to speak ignan.

Also, empathy is a 1st level psion power.


I don't know how else you would do it, then.
You can't teach an ooze to cast share language. Ooze isn't even an actual listed language, though some oozes are listed as telepathic.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

And of course, this is all just what i have envisioned as i thought of roel.
