So my jokes are getting too one-note?
A little bit, yes.
I will try to give the game more variety.
The game's fine, it's just your jokes about blinding Sevak and taking his abilities that are getting old. :D
I will keep that in mind!
Time to give Sevak scale rot or something...
Hyo Soon never mentioned worshipping a particular deity, did she?
Not that you know of.
Just so you know, there were many versions of this where Hyo Soon died. So good job! Sevak's rehabilitation continues.
Huzzah!
I hope that druid didn't come across as too Dues Ex machina.
Not at all. I knew he was around, after all.
And besides, in a world like Golarion, prayer can almost literally be answered with Deus Ex Machina. ;)
That is true! This game is the one I run with the closest connection to the divine. That said, that cuts both ways...
It is back!
Maybe. We'll see if I can keep it up.
Lucky for you, I'm going on vacation from the 7th to the 16th.
I see. :D We'll be traveling later this month, actually.
Hope you enjoyed the story!
Yep! Definitely makes me wonder just what's going on...
I'd been thinking that Sevak is kind of in an odd spot as a druid, where he wants to protect nature but also wants to help and protect people. So I wanted to get the idea of that personal conflict out there.
Sorry for the lack of posts.
I will be undergoing surgery on Friday, May 25th. It has placed a giant ? mark over my entire next week so posts may be sporadic. Again, I apologize.
Oh no! I hope it goes well!
Maybe we can do some way of earning bonus skill points if you let Paq boss you around?
That could be interesting. :)
Sorry for the delay. I am having writers block/indecision about the plot going forward. not the grand plot, which I like, but the next segment.
I am worried if it will be interesting for you/Sevak and fair.
It doesn't necessarily have to be fair as long as it's interesting. :D Though obviously a situation where Sevak has no chance to make a difference would be hard to make interesting.
I know this is a weird and telling question but how invested are you in this game? I have a plot sketched out but very unsatisfied with what I had planned as the next section and is making me question the entire project.
Hmmmm... I'd say I'm invested in Sevak as a character, but not necessarily the game, if that makes sense? I like Sevak's character arc, but I'm not invested in any particular way of continuing it.
Maybe a time skip is in order, a bit of a soft reset?
That could work. What do you have in mind?
Well, Sevak wanted a few quiet years in a city to study, yes? We could give him a much needed break from adventure.
That could work. Would Paq stay with him for that long, or are they finally going to part ways?
I think that depends on the city and how boring Sevak gets!
Sevak is probably going to be pretty boring for a while. :D
Maybe! Pick a city and let's see what we have to work it. I assume he'd stay in Tian Xia.
Probably he'd stay in Changdo--he has no reason to leave Po Li, really.
I ask about Paq because it was getting pretty hard for Sevak to justify working with Paq, even to himself. He wants to repay him for all Paq has done for Sevak, but... has no clue how to help him with what he views as his biggest problem, the whole stealing-from-everyone thing. Add to that the feeling that he's kind of an accomplice to the thefts, and... yeah, it was starting to look like Sevak would straight-out ask to go their separate ways.
