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. :)

Stepping into the meditation room. "Hello Miss Reading. I hope you enjoyed my work." He sat down in front of her. he held a tray with a hamburger and a second tray with a salad. "They told me that they doctors have order them to only give you greens eat. So I pick you up a salad. It's a shame the hamburger I got for myself will go to waste since I only eat meat once a month." He had a mischievous smile on his face as he held the tray with the hamburger out to her.

"You are a veritable saint," she said, eagerly reaching for the hamburger. "I really can't thank you enough."

She closed her eyes in pure bliss as she took her first bite. "Oh, that is sooo good."

"Mmmm. I really enjoyed the book as well. Exciting, entertaining....it was just the thing to help me forget about being stuck in here."

Standing there for a few moments, watching Bradley, Anahita is back to her semi-stoic, T-Rex like manner, watching while looking around. She gives him a nod and then says, "Then you can sense it, this is good. Did you intentionally act as you did in the hallway with Ehos and myself, when his silence spell shattered? Can you describe the moments?"

Her gaze stayed fairly steady with the occasional peering about.

"It's hard to describe. It's like a pull. In the hallway when Ehos's silence spell shattered I just....I just knew I could pull all the bad stuff to me so that others wouldn't be affected by it. Normally that pull happens a little at a time, all by itself. It's almost no noticeable. That was the first time I was able to manipulate it on purpose."

It wasn't locked. He catches the slightest glimpse of a retreating squirrel suggesting that Kitty hadn't left the door unlocked herself. Kitty was lying on her futon sobbing while Saffire meeped helplessly at her, trying to comfort her.

That person is over there and I don't know if I can handle not becoming angry at it if I go." She sounded a bit depressed that she couldn't do as Lang asked. "I'm sorry that I have to ask this of you."

"That's okay, Zilla-chan. I don't mind. I'll go now, I'll meet you there."

Midori obliges her friends by walking over to where Sara and Sun are standing with Vriskra. She bows slightly, her tray preventing anything deeper. "Pardon me, friends, but Lang-kun said that he would be a bit late and would meet you outside."

She thought about not answering, but becoming invisible again was still more terrifying than being honest.

"I thought you were mad at me. I've been waiting so long to spend time with you and then when we finally have some time we just fight and I can't keep up with you even though I'm working so hard and I'm worried you don't really like me any more and once you realize that I'm not as interesting as you thought you're going to want to break up with me. And I don't care if that doesn't make any sense!"

"I'm glad you liked it. It was a work I wrote while I adventured. I made quite a bit of coin selling that particular work and it's three counter parts. It seemed that my fictional works were the most popular of all that I wrote. I never would have thought that when I started writing them. I had heard one of the first copies that I wrote last sold for over a 100,000 gold pieces."

It's odd that if his work had gain so much fame why had this been the first you had heard of it. He could be exaggerating.

Zilla nodded to Midori she didn't want to keep Ignace waiting plus she was interested in what Lang wanted to tell her. Zilla made her way back. At first she tried to walk as silently as she could, so to hear more of the conversation. To bad for her, it seemed all the juicy parts were over. So she started walking normally the rest of the way.

"Lang, Midori went to tell the others that you are on the way." Zilla slipped past Lang and into the room. She sat down across for Ignace.

"Could you tell me about yourself Miss Reading?"

She shrugged. "There's not much to tell. I started out as a student at Woodwaker's Academy of Paper Arts. I didn't exactly have much of a home life before that. My parents were busy and travelled a lot and they kind of just never really bothered about me. They didn't really want children in the first place. I was raised by my aunt. She was kind of horrid. So I was really happy when I got to go to school. I loved it. And I excelled there. And then I was really stupid and ended up being seduced by a teacher and I think you already heard that particular humiliating story. It ends with me ending up being bonded to a very angry nature spirit. And then after Kryshyykilli'vkk was sealed with this amulet I tried to find somewhere else to belong. Ended up tending bar at this out of the way place, fell for the bar owner's no-good brother who was as charming and faithless as the first guy I fell for and when I caught him in bed with someone else well....next thing I remember I was looking at a large crater after the nature spirit leveled a series of buildings....it was very fortunate that I didn't actually kill anyone that time. And then I came here and lied about my age to get a teaching job. Which was unnecessary but I didn't know that, as I mentioned this morning. And that's pretty much it. And this is why I've been avoiding anything remotely resembling romance for the last several months. My track record is bad enough already."

Male Elf Bard 14/Sorcerer (Maestro) 14

Ehos leans back in the cafeteria, still thinking. Had he really made so few close friends while he was here? Jaiye, Phaezeriel, and Wyrd. All of them likely to cause his Mom to freak if he brought them to a party. She would start to think he was doing it on purpose at this rate.

He sighs, a little melancholy at the whole prospect.

Then he sits bolt upright. Anthony! Of course! He would definitely ask him!

Ehos shakes his head, putting his hand on hers. He does look ravenously at the food though. 'I just realized that I've only made a few friends since I've been here. I'm so used to being surrounded by people. I mean, the few friends I've met here are amazing... but I dunno. Just a bit homesick maybe.' Or... more likely, he wants to go back to his life before his voice changed. Similar to homesick, but not quite.

She places her hand on the wall, intent on actually speaking with Jaiye today. It had been entirely too long since they had truly spoken.

backstory

"Well that's quite a story. You really haven't had much luck with relationships. Are they truly that hard to find good ones. I myself have never worried to much about them. Growing up in a monastery I didn't get to see much of relationships. Even while I adventured there was only one couple with in the group and it seemed to me that it was more about lust than love. So I can't say I relate to your experiences. As for rampaging spirits I can tell much about that." Salis seems to want to be able to say something about her story.

"Lets change drop the subject of our pasts. It reminds me I can't go back and you past wrongs committed against you. Tell me about some of the students and your oppinions. I have yet to really get to know many of them and it would be nice to know what other teachers have to say about them."

"Dad asked me to find you and tell you he wanted to finish the conversation you guys started last night. But the arrows didn't work so I knew you weren't on school grounds. So I went to your room looking for clues. There wasn't a note or anything, but your flight suit was gone and we'd been talking about going to the sun...it wasn't too big of a leap from there to figure out that's where you went."


Male Firebird Monk (Master of Many Styles, Martial Artist) 16 // Firebender 8/Earthbender 8

"I see." well, that at least settles that question. "I should've told someone... I just... I guess I didn't want to be a burden to your Dad. I wanted to fix my own problems. So much for that plan." he sighs. Well, the past is past now.

Ardiente doesn't mention David's note whatsoever. Raelle had definitely read it, and no good could come of talking about that.

Should anyone be interested a play-by-post possibility for those really wacky characters that you might not get a chance to play in the normal run of things.
It's a rules super light game based in the same world as Realms of Agartha (Here is the original Agartha thread for anyone who is interested. Not required reading, kinda different setting, but can give you a good feel for how rules light plays.), though it's not necessary to have read or even be remotely familiar with that thread. I'll gladly fill you in on the basics. Basically the action would be taking place in a school for magical youngsters. Think a mashup of Hogwarts and the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. Existing characters include weredragon triplets and a good-aligned demon. Power level starts in the mid to upper teens. This is really the beauty of rules almost free, it actually supports that without making you want to tear out hair trying to keep track of all the details. Cause sometimes its fun to play superheroes. :)
We do use dice rolls, but sparingly, and if you have a concept that isn't easily supported by existing rules we can help you cobble together something that works since really all you need is a basic idea that lets you know what to roll for attacks, saves, damage, etc. The focus is more on the shared storytelling aspect of the game.

Power level is mid to high teens. Loosely Pathfinder/3.5 based. The current thread has been going for a couple of months, but we've had a few players drop out, so need to fill a few slots.

In game it's about two weeks into the term, so you can choose to be a late transfer or easily say that you've been there all along and just hadn't interacted with the main story before.

Shadow Lodge

I don't have much to say, but this is an enjoyable game because everyone playing will get a chance to "DM" a story arc.


The awesome janitors and epic battles don't hurt neither. Oh, and we have a minotaur named Buttercup.


I'll echo my Board-mates here. I'm usually not as fond of rules-light, but this has worked very well for everyone in it.

As always, just my humble 2cp... :)

It is loosely based on Pathfinder rules yes.

Rules light means don't sweat the numbers. Rule of cool wins over RAW every time. :)
All you need to know is your attack bonus, AC, saves, and maybe a few key skills, but really there's a lot of handwaving and it's okay to improvise. The focus of the game is on cooperative storytelling rather than crunch.
Feel free to take a look at the thread and read through a little bit of it if you want to see how it looks in play.


Let me give this a read. There is a good chance I will jump in. I like free form / no power play games.

There is a really good chance I will jump in if you will have me.

What do you want by way of a stat block or back story?

I think I will run with a human savant. Sorry but I really do not want to ready 3800 post so let’s just say he is late. If it will not work I can think more. The kid from Mercury Rising is about what I want to play.

As far as stat block goes, just have a basic concept of your ability scores (we use the handwaving point buy system), know your attack bonus, saves, AC, maybe a few key skills if you like. And watch your power level. Your concept sounds like it might be a bit weak as is. I don't want you to not have fun because you handicapped yourself too much.

You don't have to write me a book on backstory. Give me a synopsis and maybe a few key things that I can use to draw your character into the story. You can feel free to relate details (or not) as the story progresses.

Also:

Spoiler:
I'm not opposed to the concept, but as a personal favor I'm gonna have to ask you to tread lightly with this one. As the parent of an autistic child that is some emotionally charged territory for me. If done right, that is a concept that I can really respect and appreciate. Heck, that's one of the things I really love about the tv show Bones. It does an amazing job of showing an autistic person struggling to relate to the world around them without making it something to be pitied or being preachy. But if the character you have in mind is more of a caricature, I am not the person to do that around. Figured it was better to just be up-front and tell you that now.

To give you an idea of what she means by this, here is a list of current characters that I made just yesterday.

EDIT: I did not make all the characters yesterday, just the list. As you can see all of them are pretty crazy.
EDIT 2: Not all of these characters are mine, and those that are aren't always active.

There are a few more characters that aren't on that list, but they are the ones who are on hiatus or are only posting occasionally.

"Disgraceful, that's what it is, Bert," the first gargoyle opined mournfully.

"Got that right, 'Arry," said the second one. "Time was folks was honored to get an invite to be attending the Avalon Academy. Ask a body in they would, maybe even give ye a bite to eat or suchlike while they asked all their bloody questions."

"Yer, and now ye ain't barely able t' get the words out afore they slam the door in yer face. If I ever get my hands on the fellows what's been spreading these rumors about it being dangerous there, well..."


Just tell me if you think this will work or if you want me to change anything.

Char Info:

True Name: Unknown
Given Name: Tom
Class: Technically Summoner
Race: Assumedly Human
Alignment: Neutral
Age: ??
Height: 4’4’’
Weight: 77lb

Description:
Tom looks like a basic young boy. He has common slacks and a light blue tunic. He has vivid green eyes and a wide happy smile on his face. He has no shoes but his feet seem to look rugged.

Personality:
Tom is extremely inquisitive, but also seemingly lost. Since the point in time when he was first spotted he has not said a single word to anyone. He does seem to speak, but the word are not in any known language, nor consistent. He really does not pay all that much attention to his surroundings, which really causes issues due to the fact he reacts somewhat aggressive to fear.

Tom has an innate ability to create small living creatures seemingly at will. This ability most includes very small things like butterflies, spiders, or other bugs. Aside from the bugs he also seems to really like colorful fish and flowers.

He really does not have any desire to follow the standard structure of society. Due to the fact he can substance himself with food, water, and shelter the traditional structure of society is irrelevant. If given simply motivation he will follow others due to his inquisitive tendencies. Interesting creatures, people, or things tend to make him happy.

Back-story:

Tom was found walking down the middle of the road about 6 months ago. Before that time he had never been seen.
A few different vastly intelligent creatures have spent some time attempting to understand what Tom really is, but no one is really sure. The current competing options range from sentient life force, to lost construct. Everyone has concluded he looks like a young boy, but he most certainly is not one.

Well I find this interesting I would need levels at least, I dont like being all powerful or having a slanted advantage. Kinda takes away from the point to me. Characters need a goal/purpose and gaining levels, money, inflence, etc etc is the means and so the adventure. I like being able to play pretty much anything but if their is nothing at the end or even the illusion of an end then just does not seem fun. How can characters evolve or even grow with out the real threat of failure at least if not death.

But then again I may not know what I am talking about so if you can clear this up for me then please do.

It is a school that helps you gain control of any abilities you may have, which means the goal is to gain enough control to graduate.

Seems like very few people have that lack of control though..

** spoiler omitted **

It sounds like a solid concept, but I have two concerns.

The first one I've already mentioned is power level. Now, I will say this, if you start and then discover that you're way too weak, you can always have your characters powers evolve as he gains more control over them, bringing in more powerful abilities.
The second is how is this kid going to relate to or even notice the other students? He doesn't have to be socially skilled, but I'd hate for the plot to always be passing him by. What are his points of interest? His obsession if you will. There's usually something.

There is threat of danger/failure/occasionally even death. But the goal/purpose is generally more story driven rather than levels, money, etc. Abilities can and do develop over time, and as DB3 said, that's the real purpose of the school. To help the students gain control of and develop their powers. I'd suggest maybe reading the first page or two of the thread to get a feel for how things play out. There are definitely rivalries, enemies to defeat, long-term goals and so on. And trust me, while the characters are powerful, there are plenty of things out there that are more powerful than they are.

Well, you guys had your weapons...not making that better am I?


ONE: He seems to weak.

He reacts somewhat aggressive to fear.

This would be the situation when he spontaneous summons everything in his power to stay safe. He can do more than just play with butterflies.

TWO: Get into the game

Interesting creatures, people, or things tend to make him happy.

I assume I will find something about the other players that will fall into this category. After I get him going, and get a better idea of the other players I will hook him into the plot.

What are his points of interest?
Life


He is more or less the embodied sprite of a forest.


VonGonda wrote:

Okay, cool, that gives me something to work with.

When you say that he is interested in life do you mean that he likes to observe other creatures' behavior? or more like biological processes? outward appearances? It sounds like he and EJ, the recently 'born' intelligent ooze, might have some interesting interaction should their paths ever cross. :)


When you say that he is interested in life do you mean that he likes to observe other creatures' behavior? or more like biological processes? outward appearances?

At this time he does not understand what he is, but he likes to create life, and down the road the stuff he calls forth will start lasting longer and longer until it is permanent.

In time he will understand what he is and more than likely start a new forest. When he starts a new forest he will no longer exist as a humanoid.


Here are a few questions of reflection?

What are the emotions of a tree when the morning sun comes over the horizon?

What is the first thing a seedling would say when it eclipses the crust of the earth?

Why does a duckling or other bird work so hard to free itself of the shell?

Does a spring rain drop speak with the plants as it falls to the earth?

Does a seed try to find the best soil?

Does my house plant get upset when I turn it away from the window?


Adsila is going to love you. :)


I assume that means I can join the game thread. I will keep any eye open to see the best time to join.

So would I be able to make a character with some interesting Templates?

I'll need to think about it, but Ive always got some interesting ideas for that or maybe just an interesting personality to play. Halfling wizard (maybe SUmmoner) with a napoleon complex comes to mind.

Edit: Halfling wizard with a napoleon complex who was cursed with a permanent reduce person effect. lol!

Template away! :)

Also, I love that character idea. You don't want to know how many times I watched/read the Borrowers when I was a kid....in other words I think that character sounds like a ton of fun. :)

I GOT IT! Permanently reduced halfling with a Napoleon complex who is a master summoner. He can't kick your a$$, but he can summon something to do the job for him. LOL Maybe with a template or two.

Shadow Lodge

He can ride around on Ruji! XD

The "young" template will take him down a size category. Apply the "Advanced" template after that for the Napoleon Complex.


Both of you guys can head over to the discussion thread if you like to iron out details. As you can tell we get a bit quiet on the weekends, but now it's Monday and things are back in full swing. :)


I do not see the discussion thread. I see the game thread but that is all.


I think I will just jump into the garden that seems like a perfectly good location unless you have other plans of introduction.

Of course, being in the garden works perfectly. Taron did say he had found some more people to join in the fun.

Taron: "I though you invited him!"
Kamenwati: "No, I thought you did!"

Would you be interested in this character, a pseudodragon sorceress I created for the PathfinderDB site?

I like it. :)

Feel free to hop on over to the discussion thread to iron out details, ask questions, and figure out how you want to make your entrance if you would like to join the game. There's a link a couple of posts up. You'll need to give her a couple more levels, but don't see any other immediate problems. The anti-dragon sentiments in Agartha don't extend to the miniature variety.

Are there gods and goddesses in this world. I've an idea for a centaur cleric of Shelyn or her counterpart. :)

Yes there are. Any that you like. Thus far most of the gods that we've used are a bit more well, made up on the spot, to be honest, but that doesn't mean you can't worship a more established deity. It sounds like a good concept. Are you thinking you'd like to be a student or a teacher?

I need linkies to the game and discussion thread.

Here is a link to the Discussion Thread.

Please do not be intimidated by the wall of text near the end there. One of the other players has a cool but very complicated concept, and we're still working some of the bugs out. Sometimes when we have to just make up rules to fit a concept they don't work exactly right the first time and have to be adjusted a bit first.

Also, I'm going to be working on a quick primer of everything you need to know about Agartha this weekend, so hopefully that will make it easier for newbies to catch up and figure out what's going on.

=================================================<br>
SPECIAL ABILITIES<br>
=================================================<br>

Bloodline Arcana Whenever you cast a spell of the compulsion subschool, increase the spell's DC by +2.
Cantrips You learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Dragon Traits (Ex) Dragons have Immunity to magic sleep effects and paralysis effects. Dragons breathe, eat, and sleep.
Fey Bloodline The capricious nature of the fey runs in your family due to some intermingling of fey blood or magic. This tends to make you more emotional than most, prone to bouts of extreme joy and rage.
Fey Magic (Su) You may reroll any caster level check made to overcome spell resistance. You must decide to use this ability before the results are revealed. You must take the second result, even if it is worse. You can use this ability at will.
Fleeting Glance (Su) You can turn invisible for 15 rounds per day. This ability functions as greater invisibility. These rounds need not be consecutive.
Immunity to Magical Sleep (Ex) You are never subject to magic sleep effects.
Immunity to Paralysis (Ex) You can never be paralyzed.
Laughing Touch (Su) You can cause a creature to burst out laughing for 1 round as a melee touch attack. A laughing creature can only take a move action and can defend itself normally. Once a creature has been affected by laughing touch, it is immune to its effects for 1 day. You can use this ability 7 times a day.
Poison (Ex) Sting-injury; save Fort DC 14; frequency 1/minute for 10 minutes; effect sleep for 1 minute; cure 1 save.
Telepathy (Su) You can mentally communicate with any other creature within 60 feet that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.
Woodland Stride (Ex) You can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at your normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect you.
