You hear a bit of bumping come from the closest covered exhibit.
Hey I just realized we have had over 6,000 posts in gameplay and 2,000 in discussion. This has to be my longest and biggest running campaign so far! Great job everyone!

HUZZAH!
Phew, almost done with this week! Next week is training so I should be able to post a little more next week and hopefully get my rhythm back.
Huzzah! Yes I hope you get some time too, Katrina has been lonely. XD
Cleo I think your meeting is ready to go!
Kevros you never rolled:
2 con loss and 2 wis loss. Are you opting for only the loss of one ability?
Something I want to make sure is known before I post as it will be part of Cleonora's statement. The remaining time of yesterday and the nine hours, assuming you're like her and wake up around 6am, between the morning and the meeting, would have been more than enough time to come and speak to Cleo. Katrina even remained with her the rest of the day yesterday and met her for lunch the day we're on. So if you have to change something Quince did between that time then go for it. Else Cleo's just going to call him out for not showing up before hand like Katrina did. Also you would have been made aware of the meeting itself around noon, when Bearkin woke up.
That is probably true. I felt like I was dragging my feet. I felt like I was asking questions about things already settled. Because of that I responded to the summons. Quince was hoping to talk to Bearik, talk to Elizabeth, talk to Cleo. It felt like everyone was pushing to get the meeting. Already feeling like I was delaying us I moved to what I thought was the next step.
Please, never feel like you are delaying something. I would rather you take your time and do justice to your character, than to feel you are rushed! There are plenty of time where I just sit and wait for weeks, because something important is happening for someone else's character and mine just so happened not to be there. I am perfectly content with doing this!
I am sorry I have been so busy I have not been able to post.
I was just trying to make sure we kept moving... you know how things grind to halt without a bit of push. Though if it needs to take more time then we take the time.
Yup time doesn't necessarily need to be flowing straight we can always go back and have conversations and such as needed!
I appreciate that. It was also I jumped ahead to keep things moving and realized that there were a whole slew of answers someone who is even a marginal leader would have wanted to answer before walking into this situation.
Hence the pre-meeting with Cleo and the moment taken with Bearik, Liz and Saren before we walk to the table.
I think at the moment, no need for a push for Cleo and Quince! They're having a fairly interesting discussion. A sit down and go through of their views!
So it seems that the pre conversation is about wrapped up. Let me know when you are ready to continue with the main meeting.
"Thank you." Cleonora said as she picked up and roll and bit just the smallest part off to taste it. "This is nice."
Quince! Request of clarification: the last two sentences made no sense to me in the means of the others around them. Feel like there is a missing thought.
Sure Quince is as softly as he can saying that he agrees you were hurt in an assault. He is suggesting (as you have hinted at past hurts) that you are making something more of it than it was. In a world that includes magic energies that are almost as common as weapons he isn't drawing the clear connection to being violated that you are. Bluntly he's comparing it to a fight. You are comparing it to a rape. At least that is what he is thinking.
Molestation, but close. Also it isn't just assault, as a damaging spell would do such, but this wasn't just damage. This was drain and transfer. She reached inside of Cleonora's being and stole her strength to give it to herself. Which is why it goes higher then a simple fight. But my question is more of this part, "I can deal with actions. Gods can deal with motives.", that I am curious about because it doesn't flow well with the statement before it.
I am sure that's how Cleo sees it.
I suppose it's most like Vampiric touch but Quince figures one dagger is as good as another.
Whereas Katrina is still trying to understand why Cleonora would want Elizabeth's death for these actions. Especially after everyone else's sacrifice.
She is not asking any questions, just trying to understand and being a supportive role for Cleonora because she obviously needs it.
He takes a long drink of orange juice before slicing a bite of meat off before putting it in his mouth. He chews and lets you speak.
Work burned me at both ends today, I'm completely worn so I'm going to hold off my replies till tomorrow.
Ok, see you tomorrow!
And that is all fair, it is very different to be the one looking in then being the one looking out. There are some things you just can't fully understand without experiencing them. For some people. Quince doesn't have the trauma Cleo does nor the years of getting beaten down. Losing her father at five, her mother when she was eight, both to violent deaths, her brother who was hardly and adult himself having to provide for two younger siblings, then her own molestation when she was a young adult which cost her the life of said brother who had to step up and raise her when he came to her defense. This girl has not lead an easy life, and ending those who harm others, as her first kill was the man who attacked her, is all she has been able to do. It has worked, it's kept her safe, it's kept others safe, thus it works. She sees no reason to stop that now. The only reason she's paused is because Katrina and Quince wants it.
Katrina is her friend, they spend time together. Have lunches, talks, Katrina invited her to live in the cathedral and make some magical items in exchange. When Katrina was attacked Cleo stepped in and even showed her true colors... and Katrina accepted her! That's big to Cleo! Katrina could ask her to jump and she would do so.
Quince says 'as a friend' but they haven't really spoken. This is the first time they've spoken about anything that wasn't her saving his butt or a council meeting. She respects his position, and as such is willing to hear him out. He obviously has a good nature, from his actions. As he was willing to heal her after his own people attacked her, and even came to speak with her. But could Quince call Cleo a friend? ... Maybe this is him trying to suggest friendship? I think? I'm not totally sure. I also could be reading way to much into it! It could be just a word he used as part of the phase.
Also remember everyone else's sacrifice was willing. As far as Cleo feels that is their problem not her. They made the choice, which was fine, it was their choice to make. And Cleo made the choice to say no.
Actually they had lunch and talked about your magic shop and stepping in as headmistress.
Quince's player (waves from behind the screen) is also trying to push the RP toward the goal of future cooperation. But no they aren't close he is speaking hopefully.
Well to be fair I counted that meeting as the 'bringing into the fold' kind. Like when you recruit and NPC in a RPG game. It now makes them a focus. But I am not against counting it!
(Returns wave to fellow player) It is good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. My post will be up soon! There is just a lot to do! Taking a day really adds up...

Oh for the love all that is rp holy, that took for bloody ever!! I even reread it many times to try and make sure I was getting the right words... this likely made it worse... as over picking often does... But I felt like I should be picky because I was making everyone wait so long. Posts are never perfect! But one can try! XD

Kevros you never rolled: 2d6
2 con loss and 2 wis loss. Are you opting for only the loss of one ability?
I will take the suggested loss.
Yes we all know that these interactions have not been per say the best but they are full of RP and drama. Which is good with interactions and hopefully this will be good for everyone one way or another.
Just a heads up, I know we're waiting on me again... I'm sorry...
I sent a PM about a few things to our GM and once I get that reply, assuming it doesn't come while swamped at work, I shall reply forthwith! Again... I'm sorry.. *sighs* I'm the problem child.

If the bards on the balcony start playing the Staglord's theme song . . . we're done for.
How did the Baron die. He was stabbed at the "Red Deposition."
Hahahahaha! Nah, she wouldn't kill Quince! He hasn't done anything to threaten a visit from The Pale Butterfly. Believe it or not disagreeing doesn't make her murderous! XD
No it more of if I need to worry about using some of my other class abilities. I don't really go for PVP, unless it is drastically important. Like someone being mind controlled and the only way to get them out of that is by kicking their ass.
Also, I do want to apologize to everyone. I know this part isn't easy. Player conflict like this never is! But you all are taking it in stride and I cannot thank you enough for that! And if you are uncomfortable with anything that is apart of Cleo's backstory please just let me know and I won't bring it up around you. In other words it would only go in spoilers to those who ask about it.
P.S. It's just tea guys. Cleo wouldn't poison the tea... that is just rude and a waste of tea! XD
I didn't think so. I was just laughing at the idea of a Game of Thrones homage.
My wife and I just watched the "Red Wedding" last weekend. She finally agreed to watch so it was fresh in my mind.
Ahhh! Back when it was good... When it had so much going for it. When Jon Snow could say other things then "You are my Queen"

I wasn't as disappointed as some. But seasons 7 & 8 both were too short had much more shallow story points and felt very rushed.
I was more let down than anything. Just seeing how far it had fallen just made me... sad. Like I wouldn't have cared if Dani went all mad queen. I just wanted them to set it up right.
Yeah.
How hard would it have been for Jon Snow to have stabbed the undead dragon in the chin when he put his head over the wall. Great moment for him.
How hard would it have been to give season 7 and 8 a little time to breathe and have some events away from a long slow arrival of the White Walkers.
Give Bran a personality!!!
Or just let Bran be in the show! He had like three scenes the last season! THREE! That was a character you put in the center and then let die in the end doing something great.
Also the fact only two "main" characters died during the huge battle with the white walkers... I call BS! I counted at least three times in which other characters should have died. Also their strategy was completely s$&*. No one with any military experience would have let them agree to that formation. I am a huge medieval history fan. Everything from clothing, art styles, or warfare, I've read it all! Even I cannot claim to be a military expert but even I know that was complete s$@@. You should of had more archers up on the walls, that isn't how your use cavalry, Those fire ditches should have been at least three deep to force the dead into a choke point, and the most important point WHY DID YOU PUT THE CIVILIANS IN WITH THE DEAD PEOPLE!? WHEN YOUR VILLAIN, CAN RAISE THE DEAD!
I liked GOT season 7 but 8 needs to be redone. I didn't like how Dani became the mad queen or how it was set up. I didn't like how Jon Snow went back to Castle Black. And while Drogon was rightfully angry at Jon, he would have joined up with him later because Jon is a Targaryen, a descendant of Valyrian in which Dragons are drawn to them regardless of who they are and what they have done. It will be interesting to see how the Book Series ends, if it ends ... lol.
Yeah, the military tactics against the undead was horrible.
Well he likely would have. Remember not every Targaryen had a dragon. It was kinda a here or there thing. But seeing as he'd be the last Targaryen it would be more likely. But yeah I'm sure the books will do much better! If we ever get them! XD
It really just seemed like they just wanted to be done with it... and it shows bad.
Ok Cleo resend the PM you need answers from for I thought I responded to all of them. Or it was that most recent one... Let me know if you need any other clarification.
Thank you, I'll start working on the reply!
Hopefully it won't take as long as the one before...
Cleonora took a seat before her own plate and gave him a thankful nod when he placed the meat on her plate. "Whatever you wish to tell me Sulvanii, or we could just take the evening off." She offered as she picked up her fork and knife and began to cut the slice of meat into bite size piece. "What you're doing for me, helping me with this book, I didn't think it would cause you any harm. I am sorry for being so careless." Cleonora offered. "So if you wish, we can stop this at any point."
"Yes let's take the evening off." He says looking a bit tired.
"Cleonora... you didn't cause me harm. My home is just a sore subject for me... and I didn't realize it hurt me so much still. Perhaps because I have not spoken about it in years. You are likely the closest thing I have to a friend in many years. I wouldn't say you were careless... continue to be inquisitive there just might be some subjects that could be more sensitive than you might know. No I offered you this opportunity and I have enjoyed our talks."
I will be refreshing until I see your reply... of course working on my other campaigns and working on stuff at work. XD
