NotEspi's "Severing Ties" (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master NotEspi

We just got going again, and now I'm out of town June 1 through June 5. Visiting my family in MO. I can sometimes slip in posts, but feel free to bot me.

We're not in a hurry. No worries.

I'll be on vacation starting from tomorrow til 17 Jun. Will be bringing my laptop along though, and will still try to keep up with my posting. But if I fall behind, please go ahead and bot.

Hope you have a good vacation karu

Noted. Enjoy!

Hi, folks! Just a quick update from me.

I was attending a friend's wedding on Friday and spent pretty much the entirety of the weekend sleeping and eating chicken soup. I'll update the gameplay thread soon. Thanks for being patient.

Hey GM, noticed the Tri-Point sword is a monk weapon, but does not have the monk weapon quality. Therefore can't be used with flurry. Editing for a double chained kama instead. 1d6 but still has reach

Keeping it PG-13, but man is it hard not to do worse. :P

I anticipated this. No problem.

(As long as we don't get banned)

Loving the rp, so no worries here if it matters ;)

No lines have been crossed for me yet. :)

Question...

Looking for a new better avatar pic for Garr, and seen a really cool pic of a fey that I like. Garr's backstory is he has a Lot of fey heritage, represented in his traits. The picture is of a fey with horns and fur, mostly humanoid, not too exaggerated, but definitely not human. Would taking the look and saying I'm half fey or something work or would that be too much of a stretch for a "human"?

<----- Pic that I had in mind.... Thoughts?

It's a stretch visually, but if you RP as the fey portion of your heritage is strong it should work.

It is a stretch, I agree. The horns ruin it for me. As long as you can claim that's how your hair grows, I guess.

Yeah, I'd imagine a human with fey heritage to have little nubs at most for horns. However there are always exceptions to every rule, and Garr's may grow slightly larger. Plus if you RP Garr as really leaning into his fey heritage and perhaps embellishes his looks to accentuate those firstworldy features, that could work... Hmm, I wonder if they do horn extensions? :)

It's not a mechanics thing, so you can set it up however you wish. A curse by a malevolent shaman to highlight your fey blood or something.

I love this group, sage advice everyone thank you. So decided to change Garrs look and flavor the twist into being a curse inflicted upon him by a shaman/fey sorcerer under the White Queen Baba Yaga, fits well with the Chillblight emissary trait and me being from that region under the Queens control. Irisen? I believe the name of the region is heavily fey orientated, fey are my favorite race obviously lol

I'm going to have limited access to the Internet for a few days. However, since Eadric is mightily uncomfortable in the brothel, and there are still faction missions to be done in here, just assume he is squirming and blushing in a corner while y'all do your thing. :)

Uh. You sure you read that handout correctly, folks?

I think so. My understanding is that we're to assess whether the Calistrians can be trusted to host the event. If she agrees to sabotage, then they can't be trusted, right?

I mean, we're still pretending to be Aspis, right? Can't just whisper "actually, I'm secretly in Liberty's Edge..."

Yeah, that's how I read it, too.

Fair enough.

Do we have any thoughts yet on the discord that we want to sow here amongst the Lissalans, and how we want to go about it? Remember, the goal here is to make the Aspis look bad and spoil their relationship (without much, if any, murder).

I'm not sure if there's anything we can do about the relics (eg. give 'em fakes) yet since we need to get through the front door, but maybe Kazu can put his roguish skills to good use? I'm hoping that once we're in and get to look around, we'll be able to find some way to sow chaos and ruin anything the Lissalans might be planning or doing. I can't remember much about what they get up to, but there must be something that we could steal to ruin their rituals. :)

Cypher's plan is to start charming people, sowing havoc, and telling them "The deal is off! You useless wastes of spaces are considered a bad investment." and let Eadric knock anyone out who objects. :P

Haha, that's the sort of plan Eadric can get behind. :)

Pffffff. I expected you guys to be more creative. We'll see though.

That all depends on what we find down there. If we find out they love dancing, Eadric will be first to get a cèilidh going, 'accidently' stepping on toes, breaking relics, and breaking noses with stray elbows. I imagine as that's going on, Cypher will seduce the high priest's favourite son or daughter, and Garr will drink all the liquor and then throw up all over the altar. :)

Im wondering whats the BIGGEST and CRAZIEST thing we could do? What if we accidentally started a fire? the amount of damage and subsequent destroyal of any/all evidence might work? hehe. cant wait to be bull in china shop!

Big and crazy? We present Helme as Lissala reborn, she takes over the leadership of the cult and gets them to change the direction of their worship; from now on it's all hugs and community service with no ties to the Aspis Consortium. :)

Don't give Cypher ideas, man.

Laughing very loudly in public, that was a hilarious idea. Completely changing the cults rhetoric would be forever hilarious. If possible I'd go to some extreme lengths to make that happen. Haha. When were done Notespi you totally gotta tell us some of the crazier things other groups have done lmao. Fun module. :)

*Cypher takes notes*

Oh this is gonna be to much fun...

Eadric's comment about aiding in saving throws got me to google about the subject and stumbled across this hilarious thread where they got into discussing fort saves for dysentry... :)

Omg just read that thread. That's amazing. Favoring that page too funny lol

Hi guys. Just a quick status notification from me. Work is keeping me pretty busy at the moment, so we might be a bit slower this week. It should mellow down next week when some of the management is taking a week off. Just so that you know. We'll be done with the game by the time the special starts, no worries there.

Thanks for the heads up!

So what now, folks?

If there's nothing else in this room, I vote we head for rooms two and three. Plus, we can set the remaining idols on fire on our way past. :)

Agreed.

Just a heads up. I'll be moving home (and country) from the 31st of July and not only will I be unavailable during all the time spent travelling, I won't be able to post until I have managed to get the internet connected to my new house. I had hoped we'd be finished before then, but it looking less likely. As such, I'm happy for anyone to take over the reigns and bot Eadric when the time comes. There are rough botting instructions in his profile.

Roger. We should be done by the end of the next week. Depending on how well you roll, that is.

Ooh, that's handy!

Sorry everyone, my little brother just lost his job and came home unexpectedly to crash for awhile. Been trying to keep up, posts otw

"We could ride on each other's shoulders and be "one" person."

If only we had a couple of gnomes and a trenchcoat, I'd be totally on board with that plan! :)

Somehow, in the back of my head, I knew you all will turn into a looney tunes imitation. Not that I am against the idea.

But hey. You could tie one necklace around wrists of two people, in a handcuff-like fashion. Tehcnically two people could wear one like that.

Just a reminder, that was my last post for a while as I will be without internet (or just way too busy) during the move. I dare say the game will be finished by the time I'm settled in my new digs and my internet returned, so I wanted to thank y'all for a fun game, and that I can't wait to see what happens. :)

Site was down yesterday? I wasn't able to access anything.

Pretty much most of the day.
