Brain-Eaters from Space!

Game Master Baron Bloodless

The P.U.D. is one standard foot, meaning it can still be easily carried by Van, guard. Other Telekt may still easily activate it if it is on the ground.

I hadn't thought about the plural of Telekt, but I think I used 'Telekts' somewhere else. In their native tongue it could possibly be Telektu.
(I've been making Telekt words by google-translating English to Latvian and then changing the Latvian to sound more 'sci-fi-ish'. For example:
intellect->intelkts->Telekt
intellects->intelktu->Telektu
shipwreck->avarija->Av'rija (the name of the ship you are on)
life water->dzivibas udens->Dzivib'ud (the nutrient liquid from the genesis pods)

Cool!

quick question DM

when we body thief and are inside a body, what physical stats will we be using? ours or the body?

The body's physical stats.

And in case anyone is wondering I'm not ignoring the gameplay thread, I'm just waited until everyone has posted so that I can make sure that all of you get the same amount of actions before the imminent crash.

Oh that is nice so where are young dragons living out?

----
what your are going to make us crash in the next 10 min? :(

Everyone got a preferred crash locale?

Somewhere we can breathe...

Van, so very true!

Researcher, Van, One who goes forth do you want to take any action now or should I just continue the narrative?

One is kinda lost at this juncture. He is trying the best he can, but is lost when it comes to tech.

Nothing to report, really. They're the birthing pods--we already knew that.

D'oh! I didn't realize until I double checked that I never actually made a response post to your last Gameplay post Baron! Let me re-read & I will make some manner of post.

Just a heads-up to my fellow Telekt that I'm going to be traveling the planet called "Earth" over the next week or so. I'll be bringing my portable communicative computational device (laptop), but I'll be visiting family and exotic locations, so I can't promise I'll be able to post a lot. If needed, feel free to GMPC me.

I'll post after I wake up. About to go crash my body-shuttle onto my planet-bed which has been going through hyperspace too much today.

:)

Posted! Also, One Who Goes Forth, your last action gave me a mental image which made me laugh pretty hard!

In gameplay, not discussion, of course. :D

BY THE THOUGH-MODULATOR, IT'S TIME TO CRASH LAND!!! I vote that we decide now where to land.

Here are my top 5 locations, in order:
1. Ustalav, because gothic horror and aliens go great together.
2. Lands of the Linnorm Kings, so we can go to Tian Xia relatively early.
3. Mwangi Expanse, because jungles are cool and have a diverse ecosystem.
4. Nidal, so we can indulge all sorts of whims, becoming mad alien fop sadists.
5. Andoran, just because.

I vote Mwangi/Shackles area. Although Ustalav also sounds cool

Well since we are going to take over the world it doesn't really mater were we start now does it? :)

Funny enough the combat monsters agree. Whatever is fine by me.

Perhaps the DM would like to let the dice decide?

Sorry folks, entertaining some guests yesterday and today, haven't read the gameplay, but expect me to post tomorrow.

No hurry.

So, Baron, does that mean we roll to determine the crash site or what? I presume that's what the newest post meant, right?

I think it means we need to come to an agreement about where we want to crash.

Precisely Van.

My vote: In shallow water/swamp, preferably not far from somewhere with good population.

However, I'm sure I can make something work wherever we end up.

Ah, my mistake! I will concur with whatever my Broodsiblings choose as out crash site.

Population is important. I'm with researcher

OK out of character I am going to lay out reasons and you guys can shoot me down if you want. Sargava. The terrain is favorable for hiding. It has a decent population, and it is in disarray half way to full revolt already. Plus accessible to major sea lanes.

How about Glacier ? we could have a superman base hiding etc ? :)

Sargava works. Near Mwangi/Shackles too as per earlier suggestions. There must be a shallow lake or swamp nearby. Failing that crashing through the Jungle canopy is safe. Right?

yup it works.

(bouhou i wanted us to be have our Super Telekt Base in a glacier like the Earthling Super ! )

Soon broodsibling. Soon... ;)

It's good to have goals.

Indeed! For now, we can build our power and take the lost city of Savinth-Yhi! I think that's how it's spelled! WE WILL BE GODBRAINS AND HAVE PRIMITIVE TRIBES WORSHIP US!!! Well, it's in Mwangi, but that's close enough, right?

In regards to the ice base, the Crown of the World would be excellent. Also give us a choice between powerful Ulfen, dexterous Ice Elves, and attractive Tian hosts!

You're forgetting clever Varki, snow-wise Erutaki, savage Kellid & sinister Jadwiga. Not even mentioning all the monstrous humanoids & other creatures with brains up there...

well its too late now the course has been laid in :)

We could always travel once we subdue the local populace! :P I love the idea of ruling over backwards tribals that are dressed in outfits revealing a lot of that wonderful stuff called skin! I WANT A HAREM OF FINE FLESHY THINGS! For... research, yes for research! I'm sure that's all they be used for! *Drools looking at minimally clothed mammalian forms!*

i so wanted my linnorn body :(

Thinking small sir kracken body sir.

I will see you your Kraken & raise you a Fafnir broodsibling.

edit: So, Sodden Lands or whatever that big swamp South of Magnimar is called? I'm game for either.

second edit whispers Broodsiblings, I fear we may need to keep a sensory organ focused on Witness-of-Unity's-Truth...
It is beginning to act...
oddly.

i see your fafnir and raise you an Ashardalon

Ahem. Anchient fang dragon would be great.

Ahem. I believe that's my line.

I shall be devoting every ounce of my spare time from this point to getting you guys onto land!

Post in the works!

Great o mighty Landing computer :) get us there in one piece..

I'm away for the weekend so probably won't be able to post until Monday. I'll be reading along though and will post if I can. The computer is built by the Telekt. It will work (not that we know that for certain though) ;)

Witness emits a telepathic buzz to it's Broodsiblings and the ship's interface system, as if whistling with the voice of 1,000 very large bees.
