Game on guys, end boss fight. Rollo you want to stay with Dragons or come kick-um-zee-ass with us.
Rollo I like your thinking, you want to come with the Decoy team
Sorry to hear that Rollo
Her Gun moves and points at the head of the newcomer until they seem harmless. When Lord Ghent she reloads her gun and slips it way and taking him to one side talks to him in privet about much-needed security measures.
Her body will glow, [giving off light] so the others can see.
Then Lyra is moving, diving through the gap.
On the other side, she rolls past the two, keeps going past them to split them.
If anyone looks at the accident information bord. They find that AI-eon has pinned a news incident to it, with a note. Strange goings-on in "Mildlwart"
A note under it says "I pulled it before we ran it, there may be something in this?" came form two "Mildlwart" villages, Merry and Alfred coots.
Hi GM, I wanted to have more specific information on items that are taxed or banned, like salves are banded or tobacco is taxed etc
I'm going have AL-eon wait on the other players then have a pre-action meet to work out who is doing what etc.
what are the local laws GM, what is not allowed in the city, and what is taxed? They seem like smugglers and we don't want to jump to any conclusions until we have more information.
Ounce the OVIUM Gazeta is underway she asks
:) She will ask Spencer to aid with design and artwork for this. Also as there is space she will offer Moira and office from which to work out of and rooms on the two floors for logging. She will also promote the Inn as a good place to eat and drink.
I think my idea works well, as Spencer: Can come to do some scribe work at the newspaper Arlo: Can know or be doing odd work for the Dwarf brothers. Moira: Can be there seeing AL-eon about investment Opportunites or placing adds in the paper. So all have a reason to be there without suspicion. My thinking is it can act as a safe house if needed. Or a meeting place that is less public than the inn. Also, she now has some local noble clothing, she is supposed to be wealthy after all.
If any player wants their PC to have a job working for the OVIUM Gazeta.
Who will be staying at the Inn to check it's still running?
AL-eon mulls over some ideas of how to imbed herself into the City. "With the growth of this city and the advances in technology, I think soon someone will set up a printing press. Block as first then maybe set printing soon after. I think I will look and see if anyone is close. Then invest in that endeavor overset it and make sure it's not abused. So I intend to become a newspaper proprietor. My thinking is that this will give us both influence and also information. As well as a means to walk the halls of both power and the common street. Hire your good self's ass needed without suspicion. This plan will need us to pool a little bit of our money but I think I can make it back. And the business like the inn here, sustain itself." A little leg work from the inn and she soon finds what she is looking for.
She fines two dwarf brothers who are tinkering with the ideas around printing. And with a little cash investment and scrumptious suggestions. She gets them to a point where they can do basic set typeset sheet printing. Renting them all a 4 story shop. In which she sets up OVIUM Gazeta'. A twist a week single sheet newspaper. With a daily [exstar as needed] With local news, Anancments, and articles, Jobs offers and advertisements for what is on offer. Sold for 1 silver. The attic and top floor of the building are her apartments and office workspace. The Brothers have the floor below, and the rest is workspaces and officers for printing.
Ai-eon thought for a while as she walked. "Where I am from. There is a place, called the cascade of lights. It's a stellar Nebular. The cloud-like remnants of a vast star that exploded billions of years before I was there. This vast cloud, note, hundreds of light-years across..." She flicked and insect away from her face. "had become the birthplace of hundreds of new suns. But the thing that made the cascade of lights so incredible. Is that the proto-suns where all at about the same stage of development. So you see they all bust into fusion life at the same time" She seemed lost for a moment in remembering something. "Light takes time to travel over interstellar space. So if you position yourself just right. You see the Nebular before the suns shone. Each with its own accretion disk, the starting place for new worlds. Hundreds of glowing orbs in the darkness of space." she turned and smiled at the others, she walked backward and carried on. "Then the light bubble hits you. The 1st light from Hundreds of igniting new stars washing over you. It was like a giant firework in the heavens, just incredible." She spun back. "I watched three times, it was part of the holiday package deal." Then she walked on humming to herself. When the bore ran out from the undergrowth. In an instant, she is in a combat stance, knife out, and ready. Then as Arlo felled it, and realizing its nothing. She joined the other laughing at their own jumpiness. She noted the countryside and the town come city. This area was on the decline. War, pestilence, or just bad governance she wondered. Getting to the Cup and Anchor, she let the others enter before her. Looking to see who may be watching the place. After which she followed the others in.
AI-eon offers a hand to help Spencer up but can see he does not need it.
"Bethia did say Spencer that an agent was set to do the groundwork for us. So we should be expected at the Taven. That same agent collected the local orientation information use." She took out a small box and looked at it, then looked down both ways of the path.
"Correct me if I am wrong Spencer, but we should find the Taven just along this path in that direction." She points down one way of the path, putting the box away as she did. As her hand comes back it holds a dagger-like blade. "I recommend we carry hand weapons on us, these woods may not be safe. Showing that we can defend ourselves my stop a fight before it starts" Slipping it into her right boot so she can get at it with ease, and can be seen. the standing her full 7' she smiles at the others. "Shall we?"
Al-eon listened then asked Bethia, about the communication set up. What was meant by planes alined? Also local customs and clothing on the Sky/earth plane. Satisfied she had what the information down. She followed orders to the letter. Then in the chair. Even being still her body warped and moved in odd ways as they transition. Awaking in the woods, she ran a systems check, then went over her equipment. Her suit PDA and AI were nonresponsive. Radio comms just gave static. A few things worked but only the very basic ones. Well at least it was some form of protection. She took out a few odd-looking weapons most where dead. She settled on a few simple working ones. Putting them away, she activated her suit, bring up a holo project of local normal clothing. A long white overcoat buttoned to the neck.
She then went to check the others.
She brakes out laughing at his comment.
"Bad-tempered and comugly as always Arlo" She puts her fist under her chin, In the act of thinking
"I think I may bring that ale, just to tempt you" Sen-Motive DC12:
Again she is pulling his leg, she has no intention of putting temptation in his way.
She smiles at the comment. "Yes that was a close-run thing, I meant to ask, why where those females chasing you saying you had to pay?"Sen-Motive DC12: She knows full well why she is pulling his leg.
Al-eon nodded when her name was called.
"It is good to be working with you again Arlo. Do you need me to carry your back up ale, as I did last time?"
I have updated her history and made it clear why she is here and what she is trying to do.
At the Committee meeting: The invitation had come by means of a street runner.
AI-eon got there easily not liking to be late to such things wanted in that still way AI-eon did. The meeting started and the Committee came in. Talking about a mission. And who may be needed for it. When they asked for the member's organization to speak. She did not hesitate but stepped in front of them at once. To the Committee Members The 7' foot tall form of Al-eon Sal-Del Hil-leen stood before them. Al-eon looks faintly female in appearance but could also be male from another angle. To those with a keener eye can see she is a Synthetic being and construct or 'Andriod' to some. Muck like Kargal the war-forged wandroid on the committee, but far less obviously so. No LEDS, just the fine marquetry of circuity over the skin. "Community members, I can see you have our files. So I will not waste everyone's time talking about my abilities and capabilities in detail. There are may capable beings here. I know this must be hard. So to support my request to join this mission I will say this. I have done team missions before. and.. frankly, I enjoy them. I do know now about the commander role, I feel others may be best suited for that role. However, I do not mind being a second. Also in the past, I have acted as the communications operative, I'm willing to do that role again for this mission." Looks around at those there, before going on. "for the mission, I suspect from what you have said, that this mission will mean fact-finding before action. So a subtler approach will be needed at the start. This kind of work I pride myself on being able to do well. I have considerable knowledge on matters and this too I will bring with me to the mission. I, therefore, offer myself to be in the group undertaking it." Then waiting a moment adding. "I would ask about the weapon spoken of and the from the enemy is taking on this world. But I will understand that may be forthcoming only at a later briefing and not here at open committee. However, if you can supply information on such matters now. It could make the minds up of others who would seek to undertake the mission." Ending with that, AI-eon bowed and step back so that others can present themselves to the committee. [ooc]Simple and to the point.[/i]
Al-eon Sal-Del Hil-leen - Theams/Trops:
Al-eon Sal-Del Hil-leen, is a classic
In the Philip Marlowe, The Big Sleep meets Rick Deckard Blade Runner, way. The motivation that drives Al-eon is the 'need to know the truth'.
"To serve and protect" by means of a sense of justice of need for there right and wrong.
CLEAR MOTIVATIONS/GOALS: - To survive as an 'alien in an alien land.'
A short Story: AL-eon was waiting, it was something that Al-eon was good at. In the street, cutters were moving past as the market ended, and the time they called night started. Al-eon had been waiting from the start of the day, bells had rung and the stalls had been set up. She had not moved in all that time. In Al-eon's mind, there was running over the evidence. Checking the trail of facts that had led her here and now. Then her lower functions passed on the information. Someone was coming. The robbed form moved down the side alleyway stopping by a door, a key came out from under the dirty fabric. A lock was undone, a door opened and the form moved into a shadow. Al-eons moved, stepping and band placing a foot between the door and the frame as it closed. A gruff voice from inside came. "How's dat?, I have a blade, you want slicing!" Al-eon pushed her gun past the crack of the door and rested the barrel on the forehead of the figure. Dark dead eyes looked out. "A word Master Rill, if you don't mind" Time passed and thinking was done, then the door opened more, and Al-eon slipped in, closing the door behind. The gun never left the figure. With the other hand Al-eon lifted out a plastic ID card pass. Holding it up for the other to see. Al-eon asked. "Now tell me about this"
Hi Vrog, that's a great way to go, I did a similar thing with my High Tech Detective but using Nanites as the thing driving her "Magic" Taking Arthur C Clarke's well-known saying
This is what I did it may help. One thing I did put in this PC is eschew-materials So that the Nanites take the place of bits and bobs of spell stuff. Her Circuitry ats as the signs and there is sound when needed. So the elements of the spell are flavored tec. Also, I tried to keep away from spells that did not seem to fit the PC. Like anything Divine and the like. I do agree about the Tech prices, As probably yours and my PC both come from high tech planes, the cost in gold seems crazy high. I really wanted her to have a rail gun rifle, {which is not mad levels of DMG seeing some of the builds here.} But its 30k gold. Yikes.
Zorblog, Haha yes your right, Its a work in progress, and build on an old alt. So not yet 100% done. Also I think with the level DMG output from some of the others Builds being just a skills monkey may not be enough.
Made this Alt for the Game, GM Panic
