The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Female Ironbound "Earthbender"

Marra's eyes light up as Mr.Sunh transforms into a miniature earth elemental and she looks as if she is barely restraining herself from hugging the shrunken mr.Sinh as well her voice slips into a strange language as she speaks.

Terran:
"How adorable!"
Marra says without apparently noticing that she her speech had slipped out of common.


Vakkler Relkav wrote:
Vakkler turns back to watch Sinh's transformation. "Of course," he mutters, "either they're mages, or they're dead."

The small elemental turns his sparkly eyes on Vakkler, "Oh, no, Master Vakkler. I'm a dabbler at most. I rely on my mop more than anything else." He clasps the mop's handle as if to prove the point.

Marra's eyes light up... ** Terran spoiler omitted **

Sinh's grey granite face turns to something closer to rosy quartz... possibly a blush? He responds shyly in the same gravelly language.

Terran:
"Uhm, thank you, Miss. It's just a little something I picked up around and about."


Since folks are sharing some of their build ideas, figured I'd toss this up...

Mr. Sinh is based off the question "What skills, powers, and spells would make for the badassest janitor in the universe?"

My answer is a Monk/Sorcerer (Elemental Earth bloodline) of pretty decent levels. He isn't optimized by any stretch of the imagination. I purposefully picked his spell list biased towards spells that had fun 'custodial' uses... either in terms of 'cleanup' or in preventing him from being killed by the various toxic substances and nasty creatures a janitor at an occult school is likely to encounter. With all the races and magic present, you can imagine that cleaning up a flooded bathroom is likely to be a CR15 encounter. :) Mr. Sinh is designed to handle it. He also has a WICKED 'Profession: Janitor' roll.

I will be posting his full character sheet if any cares to view it, when I'm happy with the format.

Hey, who optimizes in a roleplay? That'd be silly. Victory's as simple as "I win", after all. :P

Vakkler shrugs at Mr. Sinh's prompt reply as he shuffles outside. "Don't forget to clean up the little mess the storm girl made."

Which will include "building a new gymnasium." So, P(Janitor) is nice and all but how's his P(Steelworker) and P(Bricklayer)? ;-)

Looks like a few lucky kids can avoid getting crushed by rocks today.

Riiighht... I forgot that is Rule 0. ;)

At Vakkler's words, Sinh perks up... a hunting dog on a scent. He returns to his normal form and casts a professional eye over the traces of (non building-leveling) :p lightning damage. "Nothing that can't be fixed with a mix of Windex and Salamander blood." He begins digging through the supply bag attached to the pail.

Profession: Janitor 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38


F Sylph

Whoa! That really is a badass P(Janitor) check. You weren't kiddin'!


Expensive but worth it. :)


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

Both Asch and Amada(Cyra) will be using guns. Also what are crack shot and technical proficiency? And the gunslinger mage's abilities can be sent to havocxiii@yahoo.com. Also anyone who would like a weapon drawn can also email me, if you need verification that my work is good ask DRA (Sima)

A young man sits at a table with the parts of two guns spread out before him. His short black hair spiky. His supple fingers cleaning and reassembling both guns leaving two beautifully crafted weapons. The guns themselves look like oversized desert eagles made of adamantine with mithrial accents along their sides.

He stands up and slides both guns in their holsters with a flourish revealing 4 spare clips set along each leg for quick reloading hidden inside his red trench coat. His clothing beneath it is a black sleeveless outfit with red stitching. Just before he slips on custom made sunglasses his strangely colored crimson eyes seem to glow.

"Alright who blew up the gym this time?" He snaps as he stalks towards Mr. Sinh. "I certainly hope it wasn't anyone who would be missed." He says with a wicked grin revealing his pointed canines.

Email with current prestige info (and details on the feats in question) heading your way...

Don't use it myself, but it doesn't bother me. I just don't use it cause it make me feel like I'm shouting all the time. Sure, I may imagine that your character has a bit of a hearing problem so talks loudly all the time, but that's just a personal thing. ^.^


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Okay, guys, in character thread is up. I copied and pasted some of the interaction from the discussion thread because I thought it was a better intro than anything I could make up all on my own. :)

Feel free to chime in whenever you like.

Random info Asch has signed the waiver for "dodgeball". He is a gunmage who also dabbles in martial arts and doesn't do things half way. Partially to explain his occasional fist fights with people which is what he thought was going to happen in the cafeteria.


Okay, who's driving this boat? It's awesome. Kudos to whoever the creator is as well as the players... Stormraven pointed me over here and i've enjoyed the read. (well, of the game thread, anywyay.)

Awesome break from the usual pbp's you see around here. Wish i'd'a seen it when the call for players went out. Consider me a regular reader, anyway.

Well, for now I think that DB3 and I are taking turns 'driving the boat'. Others may get a chance to run encounters as things go on, but it's better to get used to the format first. (The first rule is, if you're running the encounter find some way to take your character out of the action.) And I'm really glad you're enjoying it. :)

This game is basically continually open, so if you have a character concept you're just dying to try out please consider yourself invited. :)

Oh, good! I am so looking forward to class with all these new students. Really, I've never had so many sign the waivers before! ^.^

be interesting to see what a class schedule or a syllabus (sp ?) for this school would look like :P

Would the format be spelled out in this thread? Or was there a Gamer Connection Thread I should be looking for to get how you guy are running this?

No immediate ideas have come to mind, but if any do, I'll be sure to drop them in here to see if you guys like'em.

Asch enjoys a good fight, though it gets him into more than a little trouble.

Oh dear....I appear to have a clone wandering about. Hmmm.... (^.^)


Oh dear, indeed... with Tam's last post, my brain has begun to storm.

What do yall think of Dopplegangers? This crew needs a Beast Boy.

'Beast Boy', eh? Well, as long as you submit to weekly checks for lice with the school doctor, I don't see a problem. We do have health code regulations to follow, after all... :D

The snap of latex gloves on hands sounds like the peal of thunder across the school grounds.

The format was given in the gamer connection thread, but I'll repeat it for any latecomers. :)

Rules light, rule of cool wins, don't worry about mechanics, we'll help you figure it out if there's something that doesn't fit exactly in the rules. Vaguely Pathfinder/3.5 based. Level is mid to high teens. Students and teacher ideas welcome.
And the beast boy idea sounds awesome. :)


Eben, good to see ya, I was wondering if this game would appeal to you! Lynora and DB3 aren't joking about the flexibility or looseness of the game. If you can create it, you can play it. :)

Oh, great. The only thing more annoying than an illusionist.

(in other words, welcome to the game, don't make a mess. :P)

By the way, is it alright if I leave my backstory unfinished? I haven't decided why Vakkler hates magic yet, but I want there to be a bigger reason than 'these dagnabbed newfangled spellbooks...'

Totally fine. Make it up as you go. :)

I'm heading out from school now, and off to pick up kidlet at his school. I don't know if I'll have internet at home since a lightning strike knocked out the cable at my apartment complex last night and I don't know if they've fixed it yet. But I'll be on again in the morning if I have to drive in to school on my day off. I has too much homework and studying to do to be without interwebz. :)(Both for the study tools and the sanity breaks.)


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Okay, I'm out for the night. RL game tonight. :)
Will be back to finish conversation in the morning.


BPs: 32/32 :: Status: Unharmed :: Dodge 18; Soak 21

A short 16 year old looking kid steps into the Headmaster's office, his short, wiry frame carried by quick, springy steps. His bright orange short-sleeved shirt is untucked from his loose dark blue-gray pants, from which peek the toes of his brightly-colored shoes, and two drumsticks are not quite hidden in his back pockets. He hands a folded and sealed paper to the headmaster, the word Despin'lashahzman'Slisterbahn crawling across the front in a flowy script.

He cocks his head to the side as if he heard something - though you haven't made a sound - and looks over at you, meeting your eyes. A quick winning smile flashes towards you just before his face becomes a smaller but perfect mirror of your own with its tongue sticking out. After a second, his face flashes back to his own, and the grin returns as his he turns back to the reading Headmaster, fingers drumming on the front of the massive desk, head nodding to his own rhythm.

So Despin'lashahzman'Slisterbahn is ready to roll, if you still want him. Oh, but you can call him Spin for short. :)

He's all doppleganger, but a kid.. .maybe 15 or 16. I'm still fleshing out his background, but I now have a solid personality and set of mechanics. He's a rogue, but mostly for the skill selection and athletic bent of the class, I dont' know how much i'll be pushing for sneak attacks. And he's not a trapfinder at all, so i'll be switching out those mechanics with some kind of APG alternate class feature. Maybe acrobat or something. Basically, he's a sarcastic, fun-lovin' kid who loves physical activity and hates anything that could really be called "work". Loves people. Loves fun.


BPs: 32/32 :: Status: Unharmed :: Dodge 18; Soak 21

Oh, forgot to mention. I actually see this guy as being kind of a doppleganger savante. The doppleganger entry (at the end) says there are variants out there that can actually shapechange using Polymorph spell instead of simply ALter Self. I kidn of see this kid that way. He can change quickly into practically anything living between the size Tiny to Large. Thoughts?


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

Ok after reading the original thread I totally want a short range teleporter. Think deadpool's from marvel. It would go about 50ft at most or something of that nature.


Will his teleports be accompanied by a 'BAMF!' bubble? :)


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

Possibly and maybe a bit of fourth wall breakage. Though in all likely hood probably not :)


BPs: 32/32 :: Status: Unharmed :: Dodge 18; Soak 21

Okay, mechanics are in there.. i gave more than you're generally requesting, but it helps me understand his capabilities. I'm working on his backstory. The short version is that he's actually a half-blood doppleganger, having human blood from his mother. She raised him regardless of his freak-ness, only realizing she was not capable of continuing to nurture and teach him as he needed as he got into his mid teens. The long version will be up some time today.

Lynora, DB3, what do you think? Should I jump in? Is he gonna fit? Do you want to do the intro for the guy when the story makes sense?

This can be arranged. :)

(If you're taking a mechanics class I'll even help you build your own.)

Yes, please jump in whenever you feel ready to do so.

There might be a few ancient history texts that vaguely reference it. Most people have no idea what Empire they are referring to and assume it was one that existed on Agartha.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

0.0 Wow ic is already into the 400s....awesome. :)


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

Ahhh Quicksilver is fun to type for :)


BPs: 32/32 :: Status: Unharmed :: Dodge 18; Soak 21

Are there any (male) students without roommates? The new kid needs a bunk-mate. He'll also definitely be signing up for the advanced Phys Ed class. is there an Introduction to Psionics class? :\


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

I'm not sure I think Asch and Amada (and technically Silver) are rooming together. (How they managed that is unknown Asch is ba like that I guess ^_^)

Of course there's an intro to Psionics...I believe that Taron is in that one.

As for the roommate sitch...Er, well.....I think Asch is rooming with Amada. So I don't think so at the moment. Unless Ephebe switches rooms to bunk with Nasima and then he could bunk with Jiminy. Oh, wait I forgot...I don't think Krays has a roomie yet.

Did we lose Marra somewhere?

Okay, well, it's up to you. It would be unusual for a guy and girl to room together, but exceptions can be made.


lynora wrote:

I hope not. I was quite intrigued to see how her character was going to develop.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

Exceptions as in most were scared of Asch needing a bite to drink :)
