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. :)

can you look up what "grey light" or "mirror blade" are in Tolkien

Mithcal would be 'Grey Light' (though I think Calmith actually looks and sounds better). I think you could use ga- interchangeably with cal to mean the same thing (so you could also get Mithgal or Galmith).

Cenedril Hathol comes up for 'Mirror Blade'. Maybe shorten it to Cened'hath or something like that....


The Half-Alive Streets | Truth of the Seeker | The Sanctuary of Drowned Delight

Fun fact: The latin for Lightbringer is "Lucifer".

And he's got a flaming sword you say? Hm. ;D

Cened'hath is perfect.

It's a sword that mirrors the users soul

Another dual meaning.... Great!

And since the monastery he was raised at wasn't Christian so its still prefect

Very good. Smite on, sir.

Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Iron Man 3 was awesome! :)
It was much darker than 2. Decided that the kidlet will have to wait to see it on the small screen since there's too much of a chance that it will give him nightmares. Saw it in 3D which was well worth it thought far from necessary. In this case it was the difference between getting a seat or not. The non-3D shows were sold out. The 3D theater was less than half full. Normally that works the other way around...


Male Half-Elf Gestalt: Cleric 6, Holy Vendicator 10, Paladin 16

Don't much care for 3d.... But I bet that show was cool....

Also Lyn, slight question.... Is Yrrin showing up tomorrow or the next day in game?

Good to hear!

Got my fingers crossed for seeing it tomorrow morning with my sweety. :)

Musings on Fei's energy problems:

Spoiler:

Well, since part of what caused Fei to lose control of the kinetic stuff in the first place was a head injury, it makes sense to me that a neural lace could help compensate for that...unless you're trying to avoid a neural lace? I'm a little fuzzy on what you actually want here Dalesman.
I have a couple concerns about the pocket dimension idea. One is how big can the pocket dimension be? Fei's abilities have grown a lot since the beginning and we don't want it overflowing. Also there needs to be some way to regularly drain power out of the pocket dimension. We don't want him blowing up the planet because of too much stored energy and nowhere for it to go either.

Either works. Let me know if you have a preference.

Musing Addendum :)

Spoiler:
I don't think I have a problem with the neural lace either - but I just wanted to make sure we all feel that it's filling a genuine need rather than just 'pimping my Fei' out, as it were ;D

Regarding the pocket dimension verbage - maybe instead of saying that it 'stores' the energy in discreet pocket dimensions we should go with something like...Fei's excess energy now gets sent via some kind of 'sub-space' transmission to the backup generators. A side benefit could be that Fei would be able to go farther from the school safely due to the greater transmission range. Or something like that (^_^)


Wouldn't You like to Know?

Pimp my Fei: now available on Agartha-Flix

Works for me. That seems like a good solution.

Who has a fairly weak combat character who has no real weekend plans


Female Idyllkin Ninja 3/Marksman (Shroud) 3

Midori would fit that bill, but I am busy this weekend (this small posting window is about to close as well, as my break time at work is about to expire).

Lynora, Spugs:

Since Johnny was kind enough to give a list of options for the continued existence of the Energizer Monk™, I thought it would be easier to put them here so we can hash out the details for a sensible improvement to Fei's current energy management issues without going overboard. ;)

** spoiler omitted **

Here's my humble 2 coppers on the subject so far:

** spoiler omitted **...

Coming in late on this, but reads a lot like Havoc of the older X-Men days.

You can fix this with out tech, if desired. Or with fairly simple tech, I.e. without cyber/neural lace.

Let me know if interested, could make for a good story line too!

Too weak to attempt to fight a Pit fiend.... And can't kill one easily if it tried... And would attempt to bring it's defeater to Avalon


male human monk 16

I would think many of the elementary kids would fit the bill. Midori being only one of many.

of course Grim, Lang, and Sorun would kind of act as guardians for them.

I didn't mention Hew or Zilla as i am really unsure of thier capabilities game mechanics wise, I just know there are cool characters.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Sorry. Still insta deathed with wish.

Pretty sure anyone could fit the bill, or better yet, just make up some NPC to fit the bill?

Well, except maybe our adorable twink chars, you guys know who you are. :grin:

Sounds like you just want a spectator for your intro?

It's once per year.

And I was wanting an actual pc there... There will already be a handful of npcs there


female human Witch 5 / Pack Lord Beastmaster 0.5

Sara could take people into the forest to talk to animals or something and it could attack them there. Lang might be able to Avatar us out of that one though.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Pit Fiends can use Wish once per year.

It's going to be in kuros...... Muah ha ha


Baboon

there is also Sun he's just as minor and he is always getting into trouble. besides i am toying with the idea of writing him out of the story but haven't decided yet.


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

I dunno then.


I suspect that they would not use Wish except under extreme circumstances in this setting. Too volatile.

"Not strong enough to take on a pit fiend" is all my students. Vare would probably be able to take it though.


Kuros?

Jimmy will fix it, no problem.

Sarcasm aside, just ignore stats and go for the content you want to share. Sometimes dealing with stats all the time gets too old, sometimes.

Yeah....I suppose Pitt fiend is kinda scary for most people....

the combat will last only a few rounds... (and kill a couple people) before going back to hell


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Does it have to be an entire freaking Pit Fiend? Maybe a student tries a summon that goes wrong. We get something not quite that bad? What exactly do you want it for?

Meteor swarm on you-

On 4 successful saves against a 9th level spell at a -4...

8d6 bludgeoning + (24d6/2) fire

Jiminy is actually pretty weak in combat apart from his "reality bending". And bending a pit fiend out of existence would be hyper draining.

I remember Lyn saying he was weaker than Vai in combat for sure, and she isn't all that great herself.

It's not supposed to be PC combat... And it's a summon that goes right. Then they lose control...


Male Human-Reaper/obitu Death Mage 11/oracle 1/grim reaper 10

I nominte tybalt
Or grin or one of the elementary students
If grim is there he might recogonize the guy

Even if you can win, it will be insanely hard, and will have so many casualties, it's ridiculous. The accompanying pc would die by blasphemy if 8hd or lower, or meteor swarm., if not.

If every save is made against meteor swarm, and average damage is rolled, the person at the center of the target would take 48 bludgeoning, and 72 fire damage. You talk like this won't kill who is with you.

I'm trying not to argue... The accompanying player d doesn't have to be there from the start and I'm not killing it... Just driving it off...

No joke there.... If I was attempting to kill it...I would probably choose something much weaker


Male Elf Bard 14/Sorcerer (Maestro) 14

Ah ha. Ehos would be perfect for this. Jaiye is away for the weekend, and he still has a few things to buy in Kuros.


Male Sapphire Dragon

In that case, i have the perfect cr 1/3rd for you.

It was mostly a joke,

Though other than the thing with Ornerio you do fit the criteria and with your shifting you would probably survive, though I doubt you would actually fight it as opposed to running away
However the part about grim was serious


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Apparently everyone here thinks I'm weak then.


Male Half-Elf Gestalt: Cleric 6, Holy Vendicator 10, Paladin 16

Ehos and Marcel if you don't mind both of you can come.... (if I accidentally kill you I can easy res you)

Marcell will have probobly hid before he even saw it. Fear aura and all.

Also, resurrecting him hurts his con... Hope that doesn't happen.
