“Boed i un o'ch esgidiau fod yn rhy fawr bob amser a'r llall yn rhy fach,” Arglwyddes tells the closer mitflit, watching to see if it reacts differently than its predecessor . Another barked syllable sends a sound wave streaking towards the unfortunate fey , and a final practiced one conjures the gnome’s familiar ward .
Sylvan: [b]“May one of your shoes always be too big and the other too small.”
“Bydded i'ch dannedd i gyd syrthio allan, ac eithrio un i roi dannoedd i chi.” Arglwyddes watches the closest mite for a reaction before barking out another few choice words . “Mae Locho yn meddwl mai ci ydych chi.”
Sylvan: “May all your teeth fall out, except one to give you a toothache.”
“Locho thinks you are a dog.”
Spotting a perfect place to stand, Arglwyddes follows her colleagues into the fray . With excellent annunciation, she addresses the fey creature. “Boed i chi dorri'ch hoff grib wrth frwsio'ch gwallt a cholli darn ohono i mewn i brocio'ch pen tra'ch bod chi'n cysgu.” Sylvan: “May you break your favorite comb while brushing your hair and lose a piece of it in there to poke your scalp while you sleep.”
"Would it be sssatisssfactory if I were to sssimply call you, Szss?" "Fascinating, absolutely fascinating. Yes, that is an acceptable moniker." Arglwyddes looks the happiest she's been for the entire trip. "We simply must study your dialect in more detail."
"Are you referring to a specific tree, rock, or bird? The clarity of your communication style leaves much to be desired." Arglwyddes sighs and begins muttering a repetitive string of syllables under her breath.
Arglwyddes is too busy taking notes on how the snakes are speaking to chime in for a while. "Fascinating! I don't suppose you'd have time later for an interview? Not about anything in particular - do you also know how to read? I could prepare some speaking exercises..."
"I don't suppose you've named yourselves? Or perhaps each other? How do you distinguish between each other verbally? For example, I refer to myself as Arglwyddesgydagenwhirfellymae'nrhaideifodynbwysig and understand that other people are addressing me when they create that combination of sounds."
“These don’t appear to have even the most rudimentary mental faculties, let alone enough intelligence to understand language as a concept,” Arglwyddes observes, “but that is simple enough to verify. You there! May your toes all fall off except for one to stub on a table!”
She then follows up her curse with a rock.
“That’s a terrible idea to traverse that meadow. It’s not even a meadow - it’s full of hidden brambles. Come back and let’s find another way around it.” Arglwyddes appears to have been practicing speaking in warm, comforting tones - it barely even sounds strained this time (though her facial expressions are still rather flat).
I'm guessing I am wrong, but I heard somewhere that you could play a special more than once? Not at this event, but that you could accept credit once at each tier as long as they were different characters? No, you are correct. As you said, Paizo has been shifting to multi-table specials being playable for credit once in each tier with different characters. For this scenario, that means you could play it once in the 1-2 tier, the 3-6 tier, and the 7-8 tier. And you can also GM it for credit once in each of those tiers as well. XD Regarding playing multiple tiers concurrently at the same event - I'm not certain how that works with PbP/PbD games and would have to refer you to one of the VOs/organizers for this convention for clarification. My first guess would be that that wouldn't be allowed.
Arglwyddes pockets her notepad and hops down from her stump as the call to action is given. After introducing herself to each of the expedition organizers (and taking notes on their currently favorite or most-used curse), she gets to work.
"Hmm. Taldor, and... Kyonnin?" A gnome with short, dark hair and well-kept, but comfortable clothes in shades of browns and blues sits on a nearby stump and looks up from her notepad expectantly. "Did I get that right? Accents and dialects are so fascinating - I'm always seeing if I can place someone by how they speak. Oh, right, manners." She tucks her pencil into her hair and holds out a small hand. "Arglwyddes. It's actually Arglwyddesgydagenwhirfellymae'nrhaideifodynbwysig, but most folks handle that as well as a baby handles a cow. Could I get your names, and your favorite curse or swear?" The pencil is back in her hand, held ready over the notepad. |
