The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

three questions, one can I treat my Psycristal as my first follower, cohort or otherwise, as in give him some psionic levels?
two can I have come here by way of dilapidated 2e AD&D spelljamming ship
and three, where would be the best (both practical and character wise) place to park such a vessel?

ok, as I have not gotten an answer, after 2 hours, I am going to assume that the boat is ok, and is currently tethered to the roof, if that is not a good place for it then I will move it as soon as I (dave) am told where to put it and have an opportunity to do so.
I'll wait on the other part weather or not it's ok,

Whatever happened to "patience is a virtue"...

I would hold off until you get an OK from Lyn, as her world is kind of cut off from all others, so a spelljamming ship may not be allowed.

Whatever happened to "patience is a virtue"...

I think that was supposed to be Lang's saying

this is rules light, he's from Toril, that's how he got to the planet, the thing is in no where near good enough condition to go in space,
if toril exists somewhere, then at one point so did spell jamming, this could be easially handwaved away with an exploding helm and poof no problem, my character will be distraught but I won't be.
also she is (or was at the time of posting and for some time after as she (four of her alts) responded to me in story, which is why I assumed that it would be alright, and why I haven't given levels to the psicrystal yet

If you got to Agartha via spaceship, then the planet has a serious security problem, and it would have huge rammifications for the story. It's probably not a good idea.

that and someone is on the roof and would see it, so yeah

it was many years ago, my character wasn't the pilot, he doesn't remember much,

I don't think it's been that many years ago; from what I can infer from the campaign info, those barriers have been up for a very long time, and I don't think a ship of any kind is getting through that easily.

Spaceships can't really get into Agartha very well (or at all probably), especially not a couple years ago. Trust me when I say, your character should not arrive by spaceship. It will cause a huge mess of inconsistencies.

the chatting I have done with the DM's alt she's ok with him being an 'off worlder' so I don't know what that means in conjunction with that,

if it helps his dad was a quarter linnorm, and his mom a half celestial,

My point is, you waited all of two hours for a response, and then when none came, assumed it was ok.

If you read the campaign info tab, you would realize that arrival via spaceship is pretty much not possible.

Of course, Lyn has the right to allow for just you, but dude, WAIT for her to say yes or no.

In most cases, yes you are right as I have said before in that this is rules light. HOWEVER, this particular time, your asking for something that MIGHT possibly be totally against the setting.

So just relax, have beer or 7, and wait for Lyn to say if its OK or not.

Hey folks,

As the 'silent partner' (of sorts) behind this crazy little campaign (and the person who introduced all of the wonderfully problematic Dragonstar stuff here and in its predecessor campaign - Realms of Agartha), I think I can help out with this in the absence of Lynora and DB3.

The long and the short of it is that Agartha was, essentially, a 'closed sphere' until a few months ago. Literally. (As in the world was turned outside-in to hide it from the Dragon Empire - it looked like a dead planetoid to any stellar observation).

There were very few ways to get into Agartha before it was returned to its original state - and none of them would allow anything the size of a ship (spelljammer or otherwise). So unless that arrival was over this recent summer, I'm afraid the ship's out.

Given the eccentricities of Taron Sunwake's own psicrystal, I don't think your first question is a problem (so long as it's kept to a low level) - but I'll defer to the other two on that, as that's more their specialty than mine.

(And as a matter of thread etiquette - these kinds of questions are really better asked by sending a PM - Lynora has a better chance of seeing it there than in the general wash of the Discussion thread - especially since there are so many of you folks coming in at once this time.)

I hope that helps clear the air a bit until Lyn gets back. :)

it was two hours with lyn as Raelle del Sol, already knowing he wasn't from here, the ship was just the particular method I was clarifying for, what other method would there be for getting here for an 'off worlder'? if push comes to shove we can reton it saying it was an illusion placed over a different flying craft that was purchased/made locally

As Dale mentioned, it would probably be best that you had PM'd Lyn instead of just trying to infer from the fact she was being in character with you as your sign that it was alright. It's best to be cautious, trust me.

sorry, I will endeavor to do so in the future, but there's not much I can do about it now, after an hour I can't delete it.

I think I'm being nice with Salis and letting question get away unanswered. I must be sick.

hmm how about he's new to the planet as well, and DID come in the last few months, and he was on a nearby planet until then, or (as wish/miracle is described as stronger here) his mom cast miracle, using her own life to further power the spell, leaving her dead a few hours later, and ending up chashing the ship about but living long enough to make it so that David survived I hadn't put together how she died yet.

I have a question of a different topic.

is there a seperation between the "elemetary" wing and the rest of the school mainly regarding GM's and behind the scenes type stuff.

I believe that Lang will most likely be a part of the new wing and since he is not with the tour group I assumed there would be a different tour for the elemtentry folks.

either way who should I direct any questions to regarding this. (good for future reference)

also lyn is on now I'm going to PM direct her to this discussion for her take on this

All I can say is that I'm glad it's not Kris getting hit on; he would not survive. @x@

ok, as I have not gotten an answer, after 2 hours, I am going to assume that the boat is ok, and is currently tethered to the roof, if that is not a good place for it then I will move it as soon as I (dave) am told where to put it and have an opportunity to do so.

In all seriousness, I'm a student, not a computer program. Sometimes I have to be AFK for a class or to go to the grocery store. It happens. I try to answer questions as fast as I can, but sometimes stuff happens. In this case the wifi at the college kept crashing when I tried to post, and then after class I didn't have enough time to repost it before I had to rush to a dr appt. I put up some posts on the game thread to try and keep things moving, but didn't have a chance to get to the discussion thread. In the future please wait until you hear an answer. I do try to get to things in as timely a fashion as I can. Not yelling or anything. Just putting that out there because I want to be clear on how such requests should be handled.

And we can do the discussion about the ship in PMs for sure. It's often easier to work out details on backstory without everyone chiming in. :)

Also, thanks dalesman. :)

And now I will be AFK for about twenty minutes cause it's time to pick up the kidlet.

Anything Ammy does is because I'm channeling my own psionic abilities through it. The personality is it's own though.

I am from Toril as well. I arrived here via a portal created by someone else.

Just my 2 cp.

Didn't your Patron have something to do with that though?

Yeah, Death opened the portal. Genosuke came to Agartha via portal. Cassius was dumped here rather harshly via portal.

Ghalen is the only one that got here via starship, and that was during a very small window of opportunity.

I guess my point is, if you're welcome, for whatever reason, the wards seem to allow magical travel from the outside. OR:

"What does Agartha need with a starship?"

Huh, I thought Ghalen got pulled in by Madness to be a sort of distraction.

Oh..yeah. Well he was on a starship...

I have a question of a different topic.

Yes, there is a separation between the elementary school wing and the high school wing. Basically once you go through the doors it's a whole different school. Ryo is the headmaster of Avalon in general, but Ephebe handles most of that for the elementary school. For now she is also teaching, but she plans to switch over to just administration once they have enough teachers for the little ones.

So yes, different tour.

lyn, I have a question

lyn, I have a couple questions

I suggest PMing those questions to her, just to be sure. We've already ran into a problem that could've been solved with that.

oh it's got it's own personality, my thrall powers don't work that way, they don't override the original personality at least with mine, the powers sorta reward the subconscious of his followers when he's happy, especially when he's happy with them and when they do what he says to do, it also lowers the inhibitions they may have about doing so, it's because he doesn't want puppets he wants to be liked, but not by mindless robots, so his power is responding to that, later when he gets more control he may change his mind, but it's not the most likely thing.

as far as power goes, I'm going to work it out, but I'm thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of around level 8, psionic classes only,

as to it's back-story, it was an accident, stemming form him not having a master for many years, working on his own from books, mostly whatever he could find for free and being quite young and precocious, so he thought as he read them, "why does this need to be done in this way every time" (example why can't I enchant a sword as a staff or a wondrous item, or why can't he put an enchantment found on rings and instead put it on an amulet, mind for most of those questions, he didn't have enough money or power to try to answer them yet at this time) he was trying to make it more useful, like using it to keep his powers under better control (mechanically this is the Psicrystal Containment feet, flavor wise... I'll think of something on top of that) like enchanting it to be a power storage thing, enchanting it with at will mage hand, things of that nature, what he got was different, it became alive, not a slightly distorted echo of Dave (though there are several similarities in personality) but sentient individual, and Dave has no idea how that happened and can't seem to replicate it.

I'll PM the DM when I have the final product

Psicristals and cohorts

have a look at Rosa's sword that may help

Psicristals and cohorts

have a look at Rosa's sword that may help

where is it, on your page? I couldn't find it.

VeriAequitas :)

ah, thanks, yeah not that strong, the highest level I would consider is him as his cohort which would be level 15 (would be 17 I think but it's to a maximum of 1 less than my level) but that doesn't seem to fit with his given origin story as well as say 5-12 ish

Question...
If DB3 stays busy can we handwave the rest of the time I am in the office? I want to interact with other people...

kinda wondering that myself.

We can. I want all the new people to get some fun in.

Thank you sir.
Bows and leaves

[btw] I want to be in Enchantments with miss Jones if possible [/btw]

actually, i might be able to do a little tomorrow, ill try and get out of any high tension arias tomorrow.

ok crisis averted with the ship both in story, and having an explanation for it's existence, but there's no rest for the weary, he just saved his ship and now he's made the giant robot angry

you guys managed to break Adon's mind. good job. (it was only a matter of time, really.)

Not difficult to do apparently... I could've broken it as soon as We ::talked::

you guys managed to break Adon's mind. good job. (it was only a matter of time, really.)

Throws Adon on a cushing couch and sits in a chair across from him.

"And how does that make you feel?

it really wasn't hard. seeing so much magic at once is baffling to him.

didn't he grow up with it?
