The woman is a little over 5 foot, and has cropped mousey brown hair, but pretty if not stunning. She fumbles with the books, knocking a stack upon the floor. She seems to be making some notes upon folk-lore, in her little note pad you see that her handwriting is immaculate. She gently, sub-consciously chews upon the end of her biro, a blue mark staining the corner of her lips. Without realising she wipes the ink away smearing it down her chin. Her car that stands out-side nearby is a Purple Van.
Looking closely you see that she is a pure mortal, at least through her actions. Upon her left hand is a plainly but elegantly carved ring, the metal is a dull silver. Although it seems to match the metal of the manacles. She is looking through books of Germanic and Norse folk-tales and creatures.
I actually meant Lucy from earlier since she's some form of magic user.
EDIT: Here's the two potions Jericho will have prepared in the downtime.
Ghost Dust: A superreal substance, usually made with depleted uranium but Jericho's version uses more standard, easily synthesized elements. Acts as a cumulative Weapon:4 Attack against ghosts and other spiritual beings. The Weapon may be split up (2 Weapon:2 attacks, 4 Weapon:1, etc).
Shadow Lamp: This lighter, instead of pouring light into the air, sucks the darkness and shadows into the interior. Places Aspect ETERNALLY BRIGHT on one zone for one scene.
Jericho doesn't know if letting whatever's in the box into the dark would be a good thing for the bad guys, and likes to be prepared.
Whoops, I'll get to that in a few mins.
She is a human magic user, her family are the main Wizard players in town. The garden is grown with some sort of harmonious nature magic, although this means it has certain wild unrestrained nature. There have been a few rumours about the campus, that she is part of a Wiccan cult. She hangs around with a few other minor practitioners at her families cocktail bar - "Evil Eye Lounge".
Alrighty then, thanks for that. Throw out a post to start Jericho off anytime you're ready, I have the 'potions' he's created in an edit above.
EDIT: Found a decent pic for the Guantlet.
Awesome symbols not included in picture.
Did you give me a name for the ghost or should I come up with one?
Feel free to come up with a name. This church but it's usually more run-down.
Going out to DM for my first session of a new DF game, will reply when I get back. Don't want to half arse it.
Going out for a day-long birthday party pub-crawl across York, today.
Starting at one of Johnny Depps' favourite bars; The Evil Eye lounge.
:)
Jealous, ME?!? NOoooo,....
Well, MAybe just a tad,...
HAve fun! :)
Well, it was super busy from 3pm as were a few others in the city. However we still had a few drinks and some drunken fun. ;p
hehe
I'll get a couples of responses in an hour or so once work is complete. :)
HM?
I have heard of this mythical 'work-complete' before, but have never seen it.
I don't think it exists.
;P
Well, I mean 'finished for the day' :P
Completing work is like asking for an honest quote from builders or an accurate schedule of works :)
Heheh,...
"Honest Quote" Isn't that an oxymoron?
Like "Jumbo Shrimp", or "Military Intelligence"?
:)
(No offense to those who have actually served in the armed forces!) :D
My best friends brother was in MI; of course he is a bit of a p*ss-head & a good laugh. Although he does have a great name, Merlin!!
i am sorta here. I got like 2 days left with my hubby for the next six months...
Hope you are enjoying yourself & having a good time. And that the return flight goes smooth.
Cool, enjoy ! (I wouldn't be online either if my time with wife was limited!)
:)
Merlin, really? Nice.
Although I did almost convince my wife to let me name our son's middle name after my Dad's middle name 'King', and she liked 'Arthur'.
But I just couldn't do that to her. :)
Actually I could. But she would have killed me when she realized it. :D
:)
wow; i just went over 11k in posts
Well done. That's a lot of time spent on the internet not looking at "gentlemens' special interest literature". :P
Heh. heheh.
Gratz Vale! Let's make it another 11K shall we? :)
haha; DSXM took me a minute to figure that out hehe. yep Ragadolf; no plans to go anywhere and gonna keep on writing till I am blind or some such.
So just to throw it out there... this game has gotten epic.
Also, I now have a moderate consequence which should go away at the end of the next session... that might be an issue since we don't actually have sessions. What are we doing about this DSX?
And if we end up saving the vampire/ghoul lord, Jericho has a little speech planned that'll be changing one of his aspects and a significant charater change.
Cool, thanks. After my RL DF game tonight in with my GMing was a bit meh, it's good to hear.
Generally when PC's have consequences I'll make a milestone post to refresh both missing Fate Points and consequences. As it happens we are near a milestone :P
Well my moderate consequence is supposed to take awhile to go away. Scenes are fairly obvious, basically being any time the screen might fade to black on tv but sessions are trickier in pbo games.
Well, I was thinking that once ****** and ****** are done that we would fast forward a couple of days, to the next 'episode'. With a little recap from everyone and then we would go into that plot-line?
****** = Censored by GM ;p
If you wish to keep the consequence into the first scene of the new plot-line then that's fine. I maay even give a FP.
geh, i'm really having the worst time with jet lag. sorry for not being around more. I am following, i just can't pull thoughts together very reliably.
Well I'm getting 2 Fate Points once this scene is done anyhow. Another couldn't hurt :P
That's cool, Duana. Had some friends come back from Cali - they were out of it for days. In fact yesterday, we got through the Taratula Tequilla they brought back.
:)
Mmm... tequila.
oh man, my stomach feels like it's still at 30k feet. wish i could settle with my bottle of tequila...
Heh, I've never felt Teq as very 'settling', more like 'UNsettling'.
But hey, whatever works for YOU! :)
(Some whiskey in my coke usually does the trick for me!) ;P
And yes, this game has gotten very exciting! (I've never spent so much time trying NOT to get into fights before!) :)
Y'alls making me thirsty; went to a funeral today; always better to go to more weddings than funersls
Sorry to hear about that :(
Alternatively it's cool if not.
EDIT: Sorry missed the "Come if you're able" part. It's 1am here ;p
I spent all yesterday night doing some karaoke so that's a lot more fun than a wedding or funeral. I got half the bar cheering for me doing "Behind Blue Eyes" which made me feel damn good, apparently I'm really good at that song. Then I got a lot of good natured grumbles for "Keep On Lovin' You" which I admit to pretty much butchering, but with gusto.
I love karaoke.
Ah, Karaoke.
The one downside to musical theater. ;P
I didnt want to talk in front of the imp; am hoping they will come to the front door at least out of curiosity; tried to talk in code like as a plumber and plumbing is often refered to in "wet work" though they might miss the reference and I forgot to say they were calling for a Cleaner; a person cleans up the mess by expidiciously killing all targets. Axe doesnt consider the elves his allies; so leaving them up to Danny.
Sorry to hear about that :(
** spoiler omitted **
Gotcha,
And I think it's perfectly in character for Axe to jump like that when he gets a phone call for help! :)
Actually, I realized I'm starting to play Danny a little more grey-ish than I originally planned. (My original concept would never have taken money from the safe! But now Danny is more like, 'This creep deserves it')
Interesting where our choices take us. I think Danny had better be careful, it's a slippery slope! ;)
Brilliant Re-Cap there, Jericho. :)
Saves me the work ;p
Well... I just imagined how a completely exhausted me would have recapped it. I'm playing Jericho right now like a guy who just really underestimated his workload and thus tried to do it way too fast and has exhausted the hell out of himself. Only mentally.
I have to say that it really came across in the writing. Good job, in fact everyone writing is really great. Thanks, for making it a interesting game so far.
Okay, I have finally pulled my head out of the clouds and gotten a full night's sleep in GMT-8, so anyone want to explain where Duana, and Emo Shaggy and Scooby are and what is currently going on?
I last left it at Danny pretending to be our mark for his version of Bob, and I dunno where we are now.
Essentially, to sum up what Duana knows.
Henri is going to attempt to bring back his dead wife
The attempt will happen at a church nearby
The attempt involves a few sacrifices, one of which is going to be a vampire lord of the city
Another sacrifice will be Henri's brother
Sacrificing the vampire lord of the city will be bad news as it will likely lead to war between the vampires and the ghouls
Henri had his fingers in many pies and was also a shady art dealer
After all of this was revealed through the imp or Henri's documents, Danny swiped what was left in the safe, set the place up for the police to find, and got the imp to need a password next time Henri came home, possibly setting himself up to receive the familiar.
If I missed anything feel free to mention.
Right now you are responding to Jericho calling Ax for backup, coming into a church in which you have found an exhausted and wounded Jericho and a tall-gangly priest that looks like Henri's brother. The last three or four posts are from there.
Good recap, just a small point;
The vampire lord of the city is not going to be a ritual sacrifice instead he is playing patsy for any retribution from anyone (white council(?)). And to ensure this he will likely create to war between the vampires and the ghouls. Sorry for any confusion.
"Let me hexplain,... No. Will take-ah too long. Let me sum up!"
Very nice Jericho. Now even I know what's going on! :D
And welcome back Duana! (Tell me, what's it like? Getting a full night's sleep I mean?!?) :)
Also, remember,
Between Duana and Danny, we set up at least two groups that are going to meet Henri at the rendezvous. (Instead of us showing up with 'victims') Hopefully they will deal with Henri. 'Permanently'. :)
