This Is No Time For Sporaxus (Inactive)

Game Master Reckless

Yes, I've been having fun with The First Flame's dialogue tags. :D

I think we're awaiting the appearance of Arinolous now?

Dang, I don't think any of you can fail that sense motive check.

I'm debating about The First Flame's telepathy--it doesn't really *have* a native language, so I'm thinking its telepathy comes through as organized thought more than words. So I was debating about giving some synonyms sometimes on some of its words, like "Radiance/Killing Light/Radiation" or the like to indicate that its thoughts don't always fit nicely into words.

That's a good way to show the alienness of it.

So what game benefits does your aura give?

And Sharletta, what are all of the game effects of your implants? I want to make sure we all have them available.

Oh right, you asked about The First Flame's auras. Its always-on Aura of Gold gives a +2 luck bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks to all allies within 60' of it. It can also shed bright light using its Light sphere abilities to have other auras, with a range of up to 205' (or 2 miles if it really gets spendy with things, but that seems like it would rarely be called for). It can bend its light to exclude certain squares, which it would use to exclude enemies from positive auras or exclude allies from negative auras. It can combine any two of:

* Beacon of Hope: You can roll twice and take the better result on saves vs. fear, and you can roll a second time against fear effects you initially failed a save against

* Blinding Light: Dazzles and possibly blinds

* Bound Light: Entangles and possibly prevents dimensional travel

* Inner Sun: Causes a single weapon to do extra fire damage (or creates a weapon of light that does fire damage)

* Irradiance: Sickens and possibly nauseates

* Revealing Light: Suppresses invisibility

* Searing Light: Does damage (33 fire and 33 untyped a round)

* Shining Arsenal: Causes targetted armor to protect against incorporeal beings or a weapon to count as a certain metal for weaknesses and DR

* Luminous Smite: Basically paladin Aura of Justice, gives its Charisma (+17) to attack and its class level (+30) to damage against evil targets

...yes, this means that The First Flame could do 66 damage a round to everything in a two-mile radius, if it so chose. Epic levels are scary. (Also it would not want to do that if it had a choice because that's *massive* collateral damage to the environment)

So, are we waiting on something right now? Is there more to plan?

The last post was still sort of introductions and interactions, with no action/course of action being determined, nor a further call for feedback/questions about the situation. The last discussion post was from First Flame asking if there was more to plan.

As a GM, I don't like to assume the action of the entire group of players. I'm fine with botting an individual when they have something going on (although in the case of characters this complex, that botting would more likely be fading back.) It makes it hard to post what is happening when no course of action had been decided.

What is the pulse rate on this game? Based on the three inquiring minds in Discord there is still a desire for the game to move forward. If so, let's figure out how to make that happen. What do you need from me to decide your next actions?

I'd certainly be interested in continuing. I'd asked the question I did to try to keep conversation going or at least draw out a "no, let's go".

I am absolutely interested in continuing! Considering how crazy it's been lately for me as well, including dealing with having our sewer line replaced in our house suddenly, I totes get 'not having the current bandwidth' as mentioned in discord.

That said, I am waiting/hoping to get a reply to my questions here. If we gotta roll some dice/cast spells/use powers to get answers, let us know! I feel like this group definitely has info gathering covered via a variety of methods:

Questions

So, are we playing "Wait for someone else to say something" again?

I'm going to shut it down, sorry. Thanks for the efforts.

Sad, but understandable.
