Call of the Abyss (Inactive)

Game Master Patrick Bailey

Loneliness... It's only companion... a slow degradation of sanity. In the dark of space there lies an endless sea of possibilities, both wonderful and insidious...

Let's just open this up as well. Welcome all those who have stayed with me and those who will be returning to Call of the Abyss.

The majority of the base information can be found in the recruitment thread, so check there if you're interested in joining.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here or in the recruitment thread.

Warning: I'm specifically keeping this game a little bit vague on what to expect, so I may not answer all questions you have.


Human

Dotting for Darkesthearts Gunslinger (Formally called Jake, now called Xander).


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Dot


Marco:
Your intense headache is causing you some problems, it will result in you being sickened for the next hour. Sickened: The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Ooooooooh man

No no no no no no no

I'm not going towards the red f%*#ing light, and Nexus has half a mind to stay inside the pod until an engineer/ help arrives, LOLOL.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Aw man too much SUSPENSE FOR TOO MANY DAYS

MUST KNOW IF I BROKE OUT DUH POD


Human

I just wanna find a gun before all you untrustworthy folk get free! ;P


Nexus: sorry about not getting back sooner. Your strength was low enough I wasn't sure how long it would take you to get out. Effectively every strength check was you taking 10 minutes to try and force open your pod. The DC. was 15 so you broke out in the first 10 minutes.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

<3

Nexus is NOT untrustworthy, he is a graduate of the University, thank you!


Human

You might be a graduate of the University but we are drifting in space right now and frankly, even if you were my own aged mother, I'd be lookin at you askance, College Boy! :P


Male Human Rogue/ 3

hahahahahahahahha


Xander, everyone actually, you are all naked, as per protocol. The reason being that wearing clothing in cryo sleep gives you a pretty bad skin rash. So no, not even underwear. My game is rated Mature.

I will give a cookie (not actually a cookie) to the first person who can correctly guess which game, movie, or t.v. show I'm drawing this from.
The rules are simple; You get one guess, the first person who tells me wins, you have 2 days from this posting to tell me before this opportunity slips away.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Er, "What is Pandorum" for 1 Cookie?

Hi every one sorry for the last start, was on a trip


Male Human Rogue/ 3

You will notice that Nexus is no longer singing xD

Linli don't worry I shot the GM a message for ya' mate! :P


I'm not too worried about it, so don't worry. I've been cooking up some special scenarios just for you.

I have made her a cognitive scientist, her psionic ability came form her research.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Damn it no one got the cookie yet.... er, What is Alien for 1 Cookie?


So today is the 4th of July and I have been thrust into the role of hosting the festivities at my house. Therefore I will not be online for pretty much the rest of the day, starting in about an hour.

As for my little trivia game:
I will alert everyone if someone is able to correctly guess my little game. But remember you only get one guess and have two days from the time I posted it to answer correctly. If everyone answers incorrectly, that will also end the game.

Nexus, you were not correct on your first guess and are no longer eligible to get the answer correctly. If someone who hasn't answered yet wants to use the second answer you gave, I will allow that. If it is correct I will say so.

Unfortunately Marco, while I suspect you were just being silly, you are also out of the running for this round.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

that will also END the GAME? NANI?


Relax, it will just end that trivia game. This game has a lot more going on.


Human

For my guess, I will use Nexus second guess and say Alien.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

LOL I know, just teasing :P Sorry, I probably could have been a little more clear there hahaha


That is correct! Well done Xandus! The first round of trivia is over. For your correct answer, you win either one free re-roll usable at any time, or a moment of insight as to what to do next. If you feel stuck or like you missed something important you can request something for me here in the discussion forum.

Tune in next time for another exciting round of trivia questions for a chance to win more fabulous prizes.

Male Human Rogue/3

They were not naked in Alien. They wore underwear and bras.

GM err I was in this game, you may want to have a look at it, cuz its a bit like yours.

The Journey Of A Thousand Miles

"It is the noise that wakes you first. fluctuating in and out like the cry of a great beast, you awake to find yourself not in the place that you went to sleep. You are laying on what appears to be a padded metal cot that is fit to your size and appears to be affixed to the wall. There is light coming from the ceiling of your room, but it is not constant. it appears to be flashing orange, red, and blue in equal measure.

As your head clears and you take stock of your situation, you realize that there are two different sounds: a wailing sound that is low and far away, and the sound of talking in a language that you do not recognize."


Male Human Rogue/ 3

<3

You are an a#!**&*, I KNEW it was Alien, grrrrrrrr

GM you are going to end up freaking me out with this s@~@! I knew it! What did I message you about? What did I say?

I'm not mad I lost the cookie, I'm mad that this PbP is going to end up making me super paranoid lmfao!

<3


Human

If the DM will allow it I will totally trade you the cookie for an in-game favor! :P


Male Human Rogue/ 3

*I knew it was alien as in I PM'd about it saying if there is any alien like stuff going on I'm jumping through the window, which resulted in the first scary vid that has actually spooked me in like 3 years lol*


Male Human Rogue/ 3

No I don't want the cookie lol just forewarning everyone that Nexus will be rolling against the DC of the spaceship window to bust out of it if he sees Alien lol.


Human

Hahaha I feel you there. If this IS an Alien-esq game, I hope I have made Xander leading man material enough to survive. :P

please not Alien, not again, I was RPing Alien games when the film 1st game out and have been in SOOOOO many, You know I was in a Sandy Peterson GMing Alien like game in Germany. O well lets do it again.

On a side note Alien Games are SO cool with call of cthulhu as the system, your really do go mad and it tells you just how. Muwuhahahahah


Male Human Rogue/ 3

No no no it this isn't alien, lmao, don't freak out.

Just a private conversation I had with the GM, that's all I'm saying hahaha. Relax guys. <3


Human

Yeah you WOULD say that. You want me to turn my back and then BAM Chest Burster out of nowhere! Well I am on to you Nexus. I AM ON TO YOU!

-Backs away down the hallway pointing a finger at you accusingly-

Hmm, why does everyone assume I'm running an Alien game? I have perhaps been influenced by the movie but by no means am I going to be sicking a Xenomorph on you.

I don't need parasitic life forms to frighten you, I prefer... experimentation.


Human

Haha I'm just jokin DM. :) I'm really enjoying the game so far. It feels very Survival Horror. I mean hell... I have just picked up a crazy assortment of tools that I probably would never bring Adventuring otherwise. The crowbar never occured to me at all. And the Water Bottles?

I'm tempted to fill one of the Waterbottles with the red liquid. If they are empty I mean.

Alien's 4 then [AKA The search for Ripley]

"OMG there ALL Ripley in that room and the big alien baby is her too"

EG where going to crash on earth.

Ripley: [after discovering Call is a robot] You're a robot?
Johner: Son of a b**ch! Our little Call's just full of surprises.
Ripley: I should have known. No human being is that humane.

Runs away fast


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Sorry for gettin' em wrild up GM, just meant to call you out on trying to spook me so bad xD

Points at Alexander. "He started it Officer, I saw the whole thing"

Runs away again


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Meh lol


Male Human Rogue/3

Wow I step away for a moment and everyone goes ape then resolves the issue almost instantly. Quite the group here...


I really enjoy the banter between you guys. I only have to say one thing every now and again and come back to a slew of back and forth remarks at each other. I really hope you all get to communicate with one another in game at some point.


Male Human Rogue/3

Hey Pat I put in what I do and you have been passing over my character for awhile now.


Male Human Rogue/ 3

Well we ARE on a spaceship in the middle of f$+$ knows where, we kinda have to resolve things quickly :P


Male Human Rogue/ 3

If I get a natty 1 on one more f$+~ing stealth check I'm going to go berserk lmfaoooo


Male Human Rogue/ 3

And I am NOT OPENING THAT F******** LOCKER LOL NOOOOOPE
