So, even if things do get that dire (which I will make sure they won't), there's a deus ex machina in the works to save your sorry asses.
Well that just won't do....

There we go....that brightens the tone of that last sentence immensely.

Seconded.
Fei is a controllable kaboom, and the nursery is safe from him.
A 666 mile radius, not so much.
Enjoy being in the staff.
There's really not much build up fir there to be tension. Just drama.
Indeed. Tension is not entering the campaign by busting through a door wielding a flaming chainsaw.
Tension is subtle, precise, and skillful.
At that power level, you pose no threat, because there has to be a counter, already in play. the sheer absurdity of the power level makes it easy to ignore. At that power, he's so out of the league of other characters that interactions seem pointless, and posts ignored due to lack of buildup or interest in the character, as he's too powerful to have problems other then "oh no, my powers are exploding things." No mundane issues either. from what I've seen. he's just his powers.
Not to mention you revealed everything about him so very quick, that there isn't much left to present.
I could talk more, but much more and I'm crossing from "cynic" to "jerkass caustic critic."

<puts away flaming chainsaw> Aww, there goes that concept...
:P
School of Elanish Thought: "It's just there for dramatic tension. Don't worry about it."
Anyways, the problem will probably be solved by the Champions killing the Seed in the other reality (hence stopping the resonance, though Iolth would be put in a coma if that happens) (and, yes, it's a Horseman/Seed of Destruction combo out there). So, even if things do get that dire (which I will make sure they won't), there's a deus ex machina in the works to save your sorry asses.
Dramatic tension is you knowing out of character that a monster is sliding its hooked claws into the crack of a door while you sleep behind it...
yours isn't tense at all. As it was written by Terry Pratchett, "To do so would not simply end the game, but smash the board." as in... You have the power to do so... Sure, but you never can.
also, a lot of the players here have the ability, if they joined up to restrain, or even control you to stop you... Namely the enchanters and or abjurers

Not to mention me. I'm quite strong.
People tend to be a lot less threatening as a toad.
Or, when that doesn't work, I tend to be a lot more threatening as a dragon.
was gonna have Mel wander in, but this is out of her league. well most things are out of her league
Children.... I faced off with the exploding monk, the light based, lightning spitter... Both champions, an earthbending dragoness, and a lavabending firebird.....
a single child does not make me quake in my boots
Yet. Good thing there's going to be eleven later. ;p
I do not believe that Jiminy would enjoy my method of babysitting
Still want Ace to run across the Wearer. Should be interesting.
Also, while Mel may or may not out of her league for most things, I really like her as a character, and look forward to lots of fun stuff with her.
Meh.

Thirteen. You were forgetting your little brothers.
"Well Aanandareavekki, would you like me to watch over the dear children? I'm certain that you would be exhausted trying to keep up with all of them... and I can be in many places at once"
As I've told Iolth, a few times now, there really isn't much drama here. His problem can be solved in roughly thirty seconds once you bring in the right person. So no need for extreme measures. It's more about buying time.

Besides, Abaddon doesn't want this either. Nobody wants Ephebe back in the realm of infernal/abyssal/daemonic politics. They just got rid of her! ;P
"Well Aanandareavekki, would you like me to watch over the dear children? I'm certain that you would be exhausted trying to keep up with all of them... and I can be in many places at once"
Yes, yes, you can.... *evil grin*
Don't mess with the kids. We already went over this.

"I will listen to exactly what you already gave as terms and conditions, I will not enter the Hatchery"
Well, I don't usually do this...I'm a respectable accountant now....but I just can't resist...
So who wants to bet on how long the WoM will survive the wrath of Jiminy?

I am following his rules and doing as he asked, he cannot get too mad at me for railing against the rules of authority...
If he does, I'll ask his mother to explain the hypocrisy of the situation to him....
[/WoM]
By the way Dennis/Jiminy, when do you think it would be okay for your newest hopeful employee to attempt to show up?

Anytime is fine. They're just working on helping the town right now.
Miss Lynora, I sent a really simple and quick PM, and once I get an answer to it :D Romulus Wright may join the partay ;P
is he a replacement for Kai?
I need to know about him. needs Mel's seal of approval.
Is he cute?
does he like music? if so what kind
does he play an instrument - if so will he want to be in a band and which one(s)
Is he smarter than Mel.
Has he ever been to space
does he have a car / spaceship
does he have some dark and brooding, stay to the shadows, personality?
These are very important traits in new characters!

no not really, okay, not really, only the sound of a factory or forge, no no, no, in a manner of speaking, no
can someone describe kuros right now?
burning/messed up?
being repaired?
fully repaired?
Messed up, being repaired, not actively on fire but signs of it abound (mostly a guess, but given all that's happened in the last few days...)
what time in game is it now guys?
Still around 1st period...
Shall I move forward with the Ginni thing, or wait for FCD?
Character round up! Relevant info/questions for a couple people!
♣means I need to respond
♠means open to interaction
♥means waiting on a response
Archena can respond to getting room/schedule. Should she be paired in a room with Dami's Ulna character or with a full fledged PC? I think it would be cool for the two of them, but I don't want to push Dami into doing more with her than he would like. So, up to you, Sir! ^_^♣
Hermes is sitting in with Arthur. Not much to do there.♠
Kevin is sleeping off the weirdness. Not going to do anything with him, as I have a feeling/hope he's going to be involved soon. ;)♠
Lewis is watching over Tarka. Might have a powers thing for him.♠
Lim-Môr is still in class.♠
Strider is still running a class.♠
The power thing I was going to do with Sara got compromised by what happened in the echo cave. I'll be able to use it another time.♣
Shiro can respond. I think. I'll look.♥
Tybs is staring at the ceiling in his room. Thinking about things.♠
Relatively "looking after" anyways.
I wonder where I went off too?
Hee.
If narrator magic wants to control the overseer he could :p
or anybody else for that matter
I was going to pick up one of the people. Didn't want to mind control Lyn's character. :)
Magic I'm sorry about Sara.. did I mess things up for you? I waited as long as I could...
No, it's fine.
It was just going to be loud, so I couldn't do that after the way things played out. :)
It'll be at a better time.
My intention was that Archena wasn't quite to the point of remedial classes. Just that she is in the basic classes and nothing advanced.
She was kept at least somewhat up to date by her friend ladyservant, who I should really give a name to...
The writing thing is because she hadn't needed to and couldn't with her claws.
Still around 1st period...
Shall I move forward with the Ginni thing, or wait for FCD?
Thanks Kryzbyn
Good Morning Everyone, :D
Does anyone have an opinion or comment about Romulus Wright?
I have told you my opinion on him :)
What about his opening post? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Couple thoughts.
1) I played a campaign where a gnome character used that avatar, so I can't not see him as, like, three feet tall...
2) I understood everything he said...

Its okay, I'll just have to use acute dimensions for you, and If you were /in character/ you wouldn't :P
