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. :)

Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Just a note, it's okay if Mel is totally overwhelmed and freaks out. Ephebe has been in life and death end of the world situations so long, she kinda has zero sense of perspective about it anymore.

I almost had Krays tease her a bit about her delivery, but, yeah on second thought, he probably admired the bluntness.


Female [Classified] Bard 16 / [classified] 16

the only problem is if Mel freaks out, she ends up in trouble (or detention, or whatever)

and whose "bluntness"?

I mean, to her how the problem was presented definately seemed like they didn't want her opinion or input, just blind compliance under threat of some sort of punishment.


So...

Is Mel going to be cowed by that, or continue to be defiant?

Both options sound fun to me. :)


Female [Classified] Bard 16 / [classified] 16

defiant of course, but she will still help, and try to do it her way (well as close to her way as cen be achieved). yet still take into accout other's plans.


Less OOC discussion and more IC progression, IMHO!


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

I was wondering, what's the general cosmology like in this setting? I know Lyn has said that pretty much any deity can be found/worshiped, but beyond that, how are things handled?

Are the various fiendish and celestial races more or less the same? Are we using the D&D Blood War stuff, or the PF versions of things?

Does the Dark Tapestry/Outer Gods exist?

Also, are any of the dragons(beyond those who are actually Champions) aware of the Patrons/Champion dynamic?

For that matter, how widely known are either/both of those things? Do only incredibly learned specialists know of such cosmic beings, or is there some more widespread knowledge of them? Would there ever be any cults/followings/etc dedicated to one Patron or another?

In other news, day (night) two of working at amazon is over and I'm in a fair amount of agony

rant, I kinda just need to write this out, it helps,:
it's not the worst pain I've ever felt, but it's close and over a rather large area everything from my belly button down is hurting, and on top of that I have bad heartburn and a mild headache/dizzyness combo plus I'm also rather stiff
Three areas in particular hurt worse than the rest my belly button, not sure what's causing that, but I want it to stop) my feet (duh, I was walking at a fairly fast pace for ten hours) and my butt/thighs (super bad chafing the skin is all red and raw, had I walked much farther, say an extra half hour or so, I would be bleading) so glad I have tomorrow (later today?) off, if I had to do that for a third day (night) in a row I would just about die, that or quit, or both,
Still at least the pay is good, between today and yesterday I earned 235 dollars after taxes
That and if I keep this up weight loss is guaranteed

Hey, just to share further-- this is an excellent opportunity for you, as the player, to 'Sense Motive' and see if there's actual malice, or maltreatment in their manner.

I mean, that's what the skill's for, no?

Or ask IC, "Are you guys for real? What's with the master/servant treatment?"

Food for thought. I just considered this and felt to post.

The physical pains from lifting or walking aside, do you feel perhaps any of those listed pains and such are due to that 'illness' you had a bit ago, regarding your gut?

If you aren't someone who frequents a doctor at least once a year, I'd suggest as you go through life, routine physicals are not bad. Discussing illness with trained medical people 'sometimes' is beneficial too-- or your parents.

Other's experience in the world sometimes can guide you.

i doubt it, that was apparently severe gas buildup (I did talk to the campus physician)
poor diet
thanks though :)


Okay. Checking where everyone is.
Archena I think responded last. If not, they're just painting, unless Raelle has more to say.
Hermes kind of disappeared with DK's new guy...
Kevin could respond.
Lewis is being socially inept. I think you could move that scene along, Ed. :)
Lim-Môr is in his next class, light firearms.
Strider is teaching. Today is moving silently lesson.
Rakki is in botany class, if anyone has that or an NPC they want to drop. Up to you if you're bored. :)
Sara is also with the air templers.
Shiro is teaching.
Tybs is having flashbacks.

That's it. So, Kev is my one to reply for.


Reading an amazing webcomic again, and found this. seems familiar. Where have I seen a reaction like that before?

Oh, yeah... XD


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Agh. That last Ephebe post was a nightmare. Safari froze three separate times and I lost the whole thing and had to start over. >.<

I found your problem.

;P

Kidding, I hate that. That was a long post too. Guh.


Female [Classified] Bard 16 / [classified] 16

Lyn sorry...

but after all Mel does not know about vai. (does not know vai was killed)

does not know her family. (grieving father? she does not know that)

hardly knows anyone in the room let alone geneology

does not know tamrin is a professor.

was called in and dumped on with all this.

I guess I will just shut up and do as told. (i'll decide after all of this what Mel will do as a follow up)


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

What?

I mean, you're acting in charecter.

So is Ephebe.

In charecter and ooc- just becuase Mel doesn't quite get it, doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.


Female [Classified] Bard 16 / [classified] 16

Mel gets the importance of the situation

its the general attitude toward her that I don't get.

When it comes to this kind of stuff mel typically takes charge and works to get it done. here it seems like everything is already done they just want someone else to carry out the plan...


3 people marked this as a favorite.
M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Well, then comment on that. Act in charecter.

No need to apologize for behaving like a human being I a game about charecter flaws.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Mel, I'm going to echo what Ice said. Nothing you have done in character is wrong.

Have you ever lost a really close relative? Now, imagine that person not only was murdered, but was murdered to help fix(or at least delay) your screw up. Not only that, but due to the very nature of the situation, your loved one is unable to come back to life any time soon, despite such magicks capable of doing such existing. Add on top of that your boss giving you a TON of work related crap, and possibly being partially responsible for your loved ones murder. Now, multiply that by like five on levels of stress.

That's kinda what Ephebe is going through right now. That's not even including the fact that she's supposed to be supervising the field trip to the Air Temple, and is a soon to be mother.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Well put, Ice. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Good summary of Ephebe's state of mind, MG. The only thing you missed was that she was raised by a demon and doesn't really have the framework for how to deal with this stuff compassionately. She usually fakes it by trying to act how Tamrin or Aananda would in a particular situation. But with all that stress she's starting to revert a bit.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

I mean, this doesn't even have a failure state.

This is less a game, more an interactive fiction, due to a lack of a "win" or "loss" condition.

It's just an ending we're working towards.


Being important isn't all it's cracked up to be, eh Mel? ;)


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Given their connection, it's likely that Krays will realize that Ephebe is cracking under the pressure (and guilt, mustn't forget the crushing weight of all that guilt). Or at least that she needs a reminder that her inner demon needs to not come out to play right now. :)

Preferably before she scares Mel off....

I beg, nay, plead and implore -- use IC descriptions and scenes to build this info up!

OOC is so ...soulless a means to convey such.

Pretty please?

In this particular case I am giving an ooc aside to let a character know something that the player doesn't have knowledge of, but the character does. Maybe it should have gone via PM instead, but *shrug* since we were already discussing the character and her motivations it didn't seem like it was something to be secretive about. And putting it in discussion meant less typing of tags than putting it in an ooc spoiler in the game thread...so many brackets, so much toggling between the different keyboards. It's the one thing that can be a real pain in the behind about typing on an iPad. Sorry, but sometimes I have lazy moments too.

No worries.

I just cringe when potential OOC material can be done ICly. Makes me sad-- but, life is choice. Not at all directing, merely requesting.

Lazy away. It's your right.

Was it the butt comment?

If only there were quotes! So much more sense would be made. :)

Nah. No quotes for you.


Not related to the current discussion, but...

We often forget...

Then there should be rules for random effects.
As it stands, it's predictable and easy to manipulate.

Shadow Lodge

If there are rules for random effects, we'd understand it more. There aren't so we don't. :)

You take away from that that magic is unpredictable , I take away from that that all little brothers are annoying...:P

Of course this means I'm not doing my job at present....gotta fix that....

We could definitely use something you laugh about these days.

Further reading proves he was just being sneaky.

Right on. I had considered this already, but chose to remain silent as to not enter another avenue of frustration.

But...lol


So many new avatars! Finally one that I like for me! :D


N/A Male voice Robot Ninja10/Machinesmith 1

New one for Hermes!


Hal, Jericho, Jello, and Cariban. Premi.

I don't know what this thing is, but look! It's so cool!


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Waitaminute.

There's a new gym teacher, right?


I was obligated to make this when I saw this one!


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

New and more accurate one for Tybs!

Shadow Lodge

I don't think that's a cat.


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Still looks more like him than the one I had before. :/


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

You sir, are suspicious....

:P


What did I do?


Hey, Lyn, most of Corpse Bride is on ABC right now. :)
