Kavax won't mind being around a demigoddess. No more different to him than normal humans, really. And he's not worried about vampires either.
He might appreciate having someone vaguely skilled in manipulating on the team.
Once you get 5 XP between sessions, do you gain a level automatically and the boon that comes with it?
I have to select something for Carlos but I'll take a look.
Yeah, I just hadn't gotten around to it. One of the things I picked as a drawback for Charly was she suffers from sensory overloads from time to time. I didn't really use it in her last adventure, so I'm giving Jon permission to hit Charly with some bright noises, loud colors, and sensations of fire on her skin when he feels like they might be appropriate.
Also, since Charly's an ex-cop, would it be possible for her to have known the missing police officer, even been friends with them?
You level up as soon as you earn five experience. That can be in the middle of a session, too. Technically you don't need to spend it instantly, but there's no benefit to not doing it.
And yes, that is one of the reasons I wanted Charly to come on over. I was simply planning on dropping that at a suitably dramatic moment, but the cop is someone you know.
Dun dun dun.
I bumped up his Weird a bit. It was between that and 'Sharp to Manipulate' (from the Flake Playbook). I think I want him to be more magicky and grab some stuff from the Spellslinger book too (using his Expert Options).

*GASP*
:OOh noes!
Forums being wonky? I lost my post twice.
It says I made it though...
Well, I foresee that something bad's about to happen to poor Charly.
Appologies for any delay on D and I's end. Our daughter broke her arm and we're in full parental flap mode, I'm afraid.
Yikes!
Oh no! I hope things work out okay.
Oof, that's never fun. :(
Here's to a speedy recovery so that she can get back to her shenanigans soon!
Yeah, so far she seems to be doing better than we are, but she's scheduled for her next X-ray tomorrow.
Seems like she's not going to be mopey about this at least. :) Hope everything turns out well for her.
Here's hoping the break wasn't too bad and well away from the growth plate!
I should mention that I will have limited internet access until Monday evening (maybe even Tuesday morning).
Going on a little trip for my upcoming birthday!
Have fun everyone!
Enjoy your birthday!
Happy birthday. Here's to it being a fun one.
OK, I'm finally catching up on stuff. Part of that is the website, which you're all now on - yay! But if you want a different picture or a different short description just give me a yell.
Check it out Here.
Cool. I'm happy with Charly's background, but I really need to sketch her at some point. This picture is just the closest I could find to one that fits her.
That would be very cool to see, yeah.
On vacation for the next couple months; I'll try to post when I can, but may be rather spotty.
Thanks for the head's up.
Enjoy your trip. :)
Re: The "reveal"
I wasn't really thinking Cheshire or Kavax would have any really bad reactions. I was thinking more Carlos and the Captain would be aiming at her head when they realized they had a Vampire tagalong. I figured they'd be the most concerned about it being human. It also wouldn't be the first time the poor girl's gotten smacked around by her teammates. ;)

I'm traveling for a few days here, so my posting may be a bit spottier than usual.
Enjoy your trip.
Okay, finally got around to picking Charly's advancement. I used it to gain a bit of luck back.
Sorry for the delay, folks. I've been struggling with the energy to post. I know what's going to happen, it's just taking some time to write it. Hopefully, after I've slept a very long time, I'll be able to finish things up.
Huh, my post from Saturday magically appeared when I posted this one. Did anyone else see the original before now?
No. I haven't.
I hadn't. Sometimes the forums are weird.
There is one particular thread that I am apparently incapable of posting in, which no one else has a problem with, for example.
Interesting. Excuse me while I run around shouting, screaming 'See, it wasn't me I'm not maaaaaad!' for the next few minutes.
Sorry I haven't posted much recently--I just... I don't know, I can't think of anything to do or say. I'm not sure if Cheshire isn't clicking for me or if I still haven't really got a feel for the rules or if I'm just diverting more of my creative energies to my own writing instead of role-playing of late.
No worries, just keep us informed. If it's the former we can talk about what you wanna do. From my point of view you seem to have a solid handle on the rules. And if it's the former, well, enjoy your writtings!
Hmmmmm... what if Cheshire's been quiet here because he noticed something pertaining to his particular interests and sneaked off while no one was looking?
I've had a family emergency this week right before Thanksgiving weekend, so I'll catch up but will mostly be gone until Tuesday.
Not a problem, good luck Carlos.
And yeah, Morgan can do something odd. Any ideas as to what would get his attention?
You keep calling him the wrong name. XD
Yeah, sorry. I have a very similar character with the same avatar in another game.
...also, I'm bad at names.
I'll work out what might have grabbed Cheshire's attention when I wake up.
That's fine! I just think it's kind of funny. (Also makes me wish there were more cat avatars)
Still working on updating Captain. Deciding between:
Another professional move that seems very useful:
Leave No One Behind: In combat, when you help someone escape, roll +Sharp. On a 10+ you get them out clean.
On a 7-9, you can either get them out or suffer no harm, you choose.
On a miss, you fail to get them out and you’ve attracted hostile attention.
Take a move from another playbook as I don't think Captain has passed a Charm or Manipulate Person roll yet and she must get something from that experience:
Flake - See, It All Fits Together: You can use Sharp instead of Charm when you manipulate someone.
Take a move from another playbook part 2 because it just seems fitting:
Flake - Suspicious Mind: If someone lies to you, you know it.
I was going to take the Sharp to Manipulate if someone else wasn't going to if that helps your decision.
Did this building have fire alarms? At least that Cheshire could see as he was going through it?
It almost certainly did. They likely aren't active anymore, of course, but it likely did.
Would making the sound of a fire alarm be within the bounds of the Use Magic move?
Yeah, I think so.
So, are we going to try to throw together a magic ritual to break this thing's hold over the rest of the group?
The way I see it we've got two ways we could try this:
1) Our three C's try a ritual to weaken the thing's hold on everyone, while at the same time the Captain tries again to hit the whole group with something too 2019 to be ignored. Kavax probably needs to break the gate down, so there's a physical way out when they're out of the mental trap.
2) The three C's try to break through the magical entrapment that closed the gate, while the others break through the physical barrier. Then we try to get everyone out of range quickly and figure that the spell will break on them once they're far enough away.
Other ideas? Opinions on which way to go?
Is it safe to presume that Kavax can see the vampire, since Carlos was near him at the time?
And yeah, Kavax is probably best on demolition duty. Or vampire duty, if we thing she's going to be a trouble. Though he is decently competent at magic, particularly of the destructive variety.
Sorry for the delay in posting, been mildly distracted.
