Wolf
I posted with other new characters, but I'm still a bit lost. What do I know about the other two characters? And I'm relatively clear about our mission from the recruitment thread.
cheers
OK getting clearer but need clarifications:
How will future Ibrox return to the future after the message is delivered?
Does future Ibrox know what horrible event that Wolf Inc experience that makes them want to leave earlier?
If they are on an island, how does Wolf Inc return to the Dark Forest where past Ibrox is?
What does Ibrox know of the two other new characters and Wolf Inc? Can I just read their backgrounds?
cheers
Answering Ibrox's questions:
So you want me to go back in time to tell Wolf Inc to find me (my past me of 5 years) and investigate the island longer if they have a horrible event?
Yes, yes, and when the horrible event happens to stay on the island with the aid of those sent back.
How will future Ibrox return to the future after the message is delivered?
Each of you have a ring that if taken off will return you to your time and shunt you out of this plane. After two days the effect will happen no matter what.
Does future Ibrox know what horrible event that Wolf Inc experience that makes them want to leave earlier?
Supposedly a massive wave of the Ether beasts.
If they are on an island, how does Wolf Inc return to the Dark Forest where past Ibrox is?
This island is on a demi plane, only reason why time travel works. If their rings are taken off they will be plane shifted back to 'Wolf Inc.' HQ in the Dark Forest.
What does Ibrox know of the two other new characters and Wolf Inc? Can I just read their backgrounds?
Yes you may read their backgrounds, you would know all about them, for they adventure with you in the future. Eina is a half dragon fighter that does not like magic tortured by a mad wizard. Nora is an outsider like a succubus but now celestial, though she is a force for good that was changed by her destiny and the innocence of children. Wolf is the leader of the group and strives to protect innocence and smite evil.
Wolf can you place me in the inactive portion?
And good luck to everyone :)
What's the backstory of Ptolomaeus?
Ancient nameless war engine, growing sentience and will, currently a blank slate apart from fragments of its previous activations.
Spent a lot of time trudging through the cold and lightless depths until he came up on shore here.
Yeah, I get that.
But why were you picked to go back in time? There must have been some relationship there, right? What was that relationship?
And if you weren't sent back in time? Then, Ibrox future would know all about you from working with Wolf for the past 5 years, right? Meaning, Ibrox future knows the backgrounds of the other characters (as written on their avatars), because they've been working together for 5 years.
Gah! Time travel headaches!
Alright, I had not been previously briefed on any time traveling going on so this is my take on the situation.
The golem is native to the current timeline that Ibrox is visiting. Assuming the others find him on the beach and bring him along, he would be part of the organization and thus Ibrox would know about him. In fact, finding and acquiring the golem's aid might be an important goal for him.
AND what does future Ibrox know about the golem?
After five years? Not much. Thassilonian script has been found on his interior. He has made references to a person named 'Lissa' in times of extreme duress or damage. He is also learning at an incredible rate.
We don't even know why you hang around Wolf or why we can't get rid of you?
Ibrox, think of the golem as an oddity, one that is not in your timeline. Or at least infrequently was in your future.
Nope Ibrox. He has always been around, but none of those even in the future know much about him, that might change with the change of the timeline.
Hey all, sorry for the delay. Gonna try to get caught up now.
Sorry bout lack of posting today. Fiancee is home wicked sick and absorbed most of my time. Will be back to regular posting tomorrow.
We understand Nora, best of wishes to the sick fiancee to get better soon!
Bump!!! Hello?
I know I will be on vacation from the 2nd to the 10th, and don't know what kind of internet I will have available but I still got a day or two!
Is it clear what the options are for us to do? It's not for me.
I've dumped the information that I was supposed to deliver but haven't a clue what to do next.
Not sure if I missed something. Thus, the slightly confused wake up call.
Finally found a cafe where I can get regular internet.
And a half-dragon that is nearly instinctually terrified of anything having to do with arcane magic. :3
Don't worry, Eina'll warm up to you in time, but it's going to take a bit to overcome a childhood filled with what amounted to torture by arcane means.
Ibrox doesn't have anything to do with arcane magic. He's a fey.
cheers
I'm a paladin/monk. Also about as far from Arcane as it gets.
Ptolomaeus
What is your golem's name 5 years in the future?
really? That is interesting, But Elaina is more worried about the Golem than two fey at the moment.
That may change if the fey decide she's an easy target, though. ;D
@Ptolmaeus - No name for the golem? How about Woody? Or Trunks? Wait...are those taken?
Decr, Ibrox, and Tbbtzl,
You can name him whatever, come up with a decision. Presently the golem is on the beach and the group has not gone over the dune yet.
Long weekend here. going camping. I'll be back on Wednesday.
Right, back with stable internet. I'll be good to go now.
Finally got around to setting up an alias for this guy.
Yay! The Golem is fully made! XD
Going to be out of touch this weekend. Should be back by Monday at the latest.
Sorry folks. Forgot to mention my family vacation. Left tuesday and return next tuesday without internet. Its a fluke im reading this now.
Cheers
Have fun and just remember to play RL as your redcap is supposed to be played. As a drunk Glasgow Rangers fan just after they lose to Celtic.
Sorry folks, I have had a sour stomach that kept me in bed for a couple days and just recovering from it besides my other normal duties during the weekend. I hope to catch up on all games today, please forgive my absence.
I will be away for the weekend, I am pretty sure I will have no internet. Unless they put up a tower in Packwood or Randal, and still then it likely will not reach the camp grounds. I will be heading off Friday afternoon and likely be back Monday afternoon. Last vacation before plunging back into substituting.
Who are my other DM's? I will let one of you run the next encounter, maybe even get it done while I am gone so that the group can get into the tower.
I will be out for the weekend as well. Some internet access, but much less than usual as the family will require most of my time.
I'll also be gone for the weekend. No idea what my internet will look like.
I apologize for my absence. I had a rough week.
It's alright Decr' we all need to take breaks everyonce in a while, or RL catches up with us.
Shall we shoot for once a day postings again!
So I'm leaving for a different province right away for my wedding social (Think giant hall party thing). No idea what my internet availability will be till Monday, so may or may not be able to post anything signficant.
I didn't realize they allowed Succubus at that type of event.
LOL, 4 day social wedding? Nice. Have fun and hopefully we can get some movement while you are away but we will see.
Soooooooooooo, do some more talking on how you want to aproach the situation. Perhaps just a few of you can go flying or something...
Yeah speaking in OOC about the content of what we could do was not working. No one was willing to really make a decision. The idea is to get the group all over in one trip. I don't care how the group does it we just need to get moving.
Also part of the trouble is much of the discussion was OOC which then would not transcribe over since no one said it in gameplay.
We can get everyone over in one trip I think.
mini-wolf and mini-decr carried by normal Nora
shield and Ibrox carried by super-sized Eina
Tbblbitz flying by herself
We do not get the wolf or gorilla this way, but all of us get across at only the cost of one Enlarge Person spell.
Also, if someone knows Levitate, then we could levitate the gorilla and have the gorilla carry the wolf with Nora or Eina pulling the floating duo.
Decr' won't leave his ape, so likely a fling first.
As long as we're not swimming, Ibrox is just baggage. His equipment weighs as much as he does, so about 100 lb for him total. He's OK being thrown, because of the Fast Healing... "What's the worst that could happen?" The wolf could be carried but not without a lot of coaching and could easily wait for us to return; he's wolf not a kid.
I've mentioned it but Shield can simply walk along the lake bottom if that frees up some carrying space.
Big problem with walking across the lake is that we do not know what is in the lake, and none of us can swim or hold our breath well enough to help him.
