Finally got the chance to level Cass, big update for her is that she can now cast touch spells at a reach of however far she can hit a touch attack with her cards at.
Cass shifts over and draws out a card throwing card at the blue Stirge on the right
as it hits it suddenly disappears shuffling back into her deck
Sorry got caught up yesterday hopefully I’ll be able to post tonight
”Just different lifestyles I suppose, I knew a fair few friends back home who would do it for work. But if I’m being honestly I’m with you there.” Cass says ”People making a show of themselves has always made me nervous, I couldn’t imagine it.”
"Any issues you are particularly worried about? other than those I've just covered with Des that is. Normally its best not to go over the same issues twice that close in succession, if not it may be best to wait for a particular worry to talk about!"
Thanks! They usually are about 45 minutes to an hour but always worth it when I have the time and are a fun creative writing prompt!
Lanni watches the Harrow reading intently. "Now that is fascinating to watch. I wouldn't mind you doing a reading for me too someday." "of course Lanni! I can even do one for you tomorrow morning if you'd like even! though you have to have something in mind for me to focus it on otherwise it could be on any timescale from 10 second to 100 years and I'd know no different!" Cass replies after the Harrowing her mood significantly brighter than before worries somewhat assuaged by the knowledge that Sandara and Tilly were likely alive.
Cass and Terry reply: Barely made!
well the others are out and about Cass offer the reading to Des that she had asked for earlier rolls:
CG Str inverse The Big Sky
CN Cha Inverse The Courtesan Dex LN Inverse The Locksmith CN Wis Inverse The Carnival CE Str The Cyclone LN Wis The Queen Mother LE Str Inverse The Fiend CG Cha Inverse The Unicorn LG Int Inverse The Hidden Truth as Cass retrieves her cards she gestures for Des to come over before calling "I think we finally have time to try this reading, good to get it done before we go into the lions den so to speak." She then draws the first card setting it onto the ground between the pair flipping a image of a radiant sun bearing down onto a Chelaxian caravan and all of the manacles on slave shattering. ”Ah, the Big Sky in inverse.” she starts ”A momentous change, possibly our revolt that we are planning, in inverse I might expect this path to be a reaction to the revolt, possibly what to expect when we get back to the ship.” She then flips the next card revealing a three eyed goblin peaking out from behind a mask of Brigh and smiling which she lays down in inverse ”The courtesan, often it represents the hollow lies of those who spout political support, in inverse I might expect it indicates a betrayal by one we thought we could trust.” Finally for the top row she draws out a third card as she casts it down to meet the other two it reveals a Dwarf holding a skeleton key reaching out for a locked door ”And finally the locksmith in inverse, the one who will betray us doesn’t hold the keys we need to gain our freedom. So we should push on past that betrayal.” Moving swiftly onto the next layer Cass again tosses out a card showing a carnival mirror reflecting a distorted face that looks almost uncannily like Cass, ”The Carnival in inverse, it represents false dreams, I think in inverse it indicates the opposite, it means that this path is telling us about the reason we came here, Sandara and Tilly.” as she realizes her pace quickens as she moves on Flipping the next card uncovering a deep black tornado with a face of crackling flame peeking through that almost flickers as it lands ”The cyclone, the forces that oppose all that is good. Here it is the captors.” And the final card in this set quickly follows the last card depicting a formian queen stationed with a crown “”The Queen Mother, she is found of the downtrodden, this is a good omen, a great one even, I think they remain alive, sheltered by her despite the seemingly unstoppable force that took them!” she says with a smile looking to Des with hopeful eyes. After letting that process for a moment she then strives on moving to the last row and exposing a card depicting a massive green devil devouring a village in a single bite. ”The fiend in inverse, I think this is best taken at face value to be a current threat either to Tilly and Sandara or to us when we return, the fiend would indicate that it is some massive threat, possibly physically imposing on a level we’ve not yet seen.” She then takes another and levels it next to the last card showing a white unicorn leaning down and bearing a sword to a knight. ”The unicorn in inverse, it would normally be those giving gifts but here I think it confirms that the path is on those holding Sandara preventing these gifts from being received. It seems as though its massive on a scale we’ve yet to see.” Finally she places one last card down depicting a wizard holding his finger aloft with a light spell pointing at a tome with a single glowing word in it that can’t be read in any language anyone here speaks surrounded by other words in many different tongues. ”and lastly, the Hidden Truth in inverse, a truth or in this case I think a threat lays hidden from us, possibly under the island itself. Holding the two captive”
In theory I can keep it active on everyone but then I'd have 1 action every 5 rounds not used for it.
"Break a leg" actually originates from the early days of Ziegfeld's Follies which was one of the earliest musical acts on Broadway, they over hired and you would only be paid if you enter the stage past the "legs" which are side curtains thereby "Breaking a leg"!
Sounds great to me! And thanks Lanni! Yeah I’ll be pretty quiet this week, I’m opening a play plus all the normal stuff!
Cass is hopelessly far ahead lmao she can’t make a damn thing out perception dc is like 45 I think so she just keeps running ahead.
assuming she is still functional after the failed save. As she sees the party scatter Cass decides she needs to get out fast, she calls out an incantation as she throws a card from her deck which pulls her along with it flying along the ground skipping over the fire and 300 feet across the field
Cass keeps her distance looking to see if she needs to heal anyone.
Cass catches up to the sight a moment after the heard as a whole, she looks quizzically at Des before catching the end of Atia and Jorans exchange, she looks over and murmurs "I think we all are on the edge to be quite frank, the bit of freedom we have is spent on this hellhole" to Atia
Updated it for 3 shares to general wealth and Cass took the flask
Thanks, yeah forgot about that till I was going back through that post!
Also added the 200 gp each the crew got from the first loot dispersal, we can retroactively reduce that to 133 each to account for 3 shares to party loot giving it 400 gp or just put all 1200 in party loot to start it off with a boost
Party treasure should be updated, couldn't find gold on some of you but theres what I could find!
also currently only the gems, hatpins, dagger and potion have been taken Cass perks up at the talk of leaving "I don't think theres any sense in leaving all this here, do folks wanna take it? I can't carry too much but I'll take these for now." she say as she grabs the hatpins
I like paperwork so as long as y’all are okay with updates sometimes waiting a bit (I’ll try to do the same day though) I can do the lions share of recording!
Stunned by the chaos that erupted from the pit Cass takes a moment to regain her composure before approaching Joran and offering "Looks like the hits he took might have been worse than we thought, can you hear me buddy? how are you feeling?" as she draws out her deck and tosses out a
card:
You recognize this to be the Empty Thone a card representing the spirits of those who have passed on revealing a man bent down giving honor to a gravesite which lands on Joran's chest atop where the deepest scratches lay. as it falls she calls out "ଅତୀତର ଆତ୍ମାମାନେ ତୁମକୁ ଶକ୍ତି ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ | and a white mist exits the Ghoul laying next to him and move in to knit his flesh closed
Cass bolts alongside Terry stopping just short of where he did.
Same boat as terry, had a busy end of week, also I may be a bit scarcer not this coming week but the week after so feel free to bot whenever needed! Catching up now!
I'll stick to dance lmao, though tbh learning some Karate would be fun, haven't looked at it since I was much younger.
Cass watched everyone else scaling the bluff and seeing you all get higher in frount of her you could see the color drain from her face, she watched from the bottom and as the smidgen of a fight took place she grimaced and gasped slightly calling up "Careful the edge is RIGHT there." After folks get down she walks over to Atia and Des and asks "What did you see up there? I didn't wanna follow, figured I'd slow you down." she nervously chucked lightly before adding "Couldn't make out what you were all saying too well"
"Understood captain" Cass replies after a moment realizing the reasoning.
"Well, my romance is by choice. I'm sure there is some kind of antidote out there for the love potion, but for now, we will do our best to keep our eyes on you. We should try making sure you are always near one of us so that it's harder to get you alone." She smiles reassuringly at the witch. "I imagine he may also be concerned for your life. It seems they are planning something that they are deliberately keeping us all out of...Syl hinted at murderous intentions coming our way, but it can be hard to tell what are regular, everyday murderous intentions and new and exciting ones with her." "Yes, Scourge has hinted at the same saying he can't protect me if I stay around you all, I worry that if I don't follow that guidance he's going to force me to. In terms of an antidote for the potion I think the fastest and most readily available is likely to be his death."
Atia groggily sits with Cass for the last leg of their watch, robes and armor back on and her spellbook in her lap. "Haven't gotten to check on you much, Cass. How are you doing with all of the Scourge stuff?" Cass stands next to Atia shuffling her deck absentmindedly and looks down to her to answer quietly Well, the romance isn't going quite as well as yours but he's been a bit less overbearing recently though I worry that's going to change soon, he seemed to feel" Cass pauses a moment to consider her next words before continuing "Betrayed by my being on this trek, and associating with the motley crew at all. I'm a bit worried to see what he does when we get back, the Captain is still keeping an eye on relations so I hope he'll be intimidated enough by him to not do anything too rash but I don't rightly know." she finishes.
Cass sits with Lanni during the morning Séance but when he asks about being made the Expedition Leader she gives a slight exhale sensing what's likely coming. After the exchange between Joran and Lanni she adds in "I'm sure you would be a great leader but we still are all getting to know each other especially you two and there's not really a need I don't think to name one at all, unless you want to let us know more about the need?"
Spells prepared: 0 level prepared Arcane Mark, Light, Mending, Stabilize 1st level Cure Light Wounds, Cure Light Wounds, Cheetah's Sprint.
Cass uses the last of her healing to revive our resident Oracle
Cass goes to join them on the small boat and Scourge grabs her arm. "I thought I told you," he hisses insistently. "You go with them, and I won't be able to keep you safe." Cass looks back to scourge and in a monotone voice says "I know Stanley but like you said The captains keeping an eye and I can't have him discovering your attachment and taking it out on us." She pauses a moment to wait for a response and then adds "I'll be careful, you do the same"
After Atia's light lashing out Cass adds in "That plan seems fine to me. "
"Jesus" Cass calls out as she topples over falling to the ground next to the Grindylow she'd been swinging at a moment before, she took the moment she had before it would rise to gather her barings and return to her feet. and then shifting over towards Des and uttering "ତୁମର ମାଂସ ସୁଧାରିବାକୁ ଦିଅ" as she lays a card from her deck onto Des' flesh
and at least stabilizing her friend.
Cass backpedals a touch shifting back as she whips out her tea kettle and whirls it around onto the yellow fellow
Alright, manged to catch up, I skimmed but didn't read too hard until the last 70 posts but I got the new scourge info which seems like the most important for me and the general dynamic with Lanni and Mateo!
ha, I've had to do 21 every semester to keep on the 4 year track, then this semester and next are 24, but its rough generally.
Ha, 24 this semester but I am a theatre student for one of my majors and am leading 2 shows which is an extra 4 hours every day. If I didn’t love it I’d be crying (and still will probably a few times)
I certainly won't turn that offer down! yeah, this is my big semester at school so for the next month or two I'll be at the university from 9:00 Am till 10:00 Pm which is a bit gross
I have but it was in a very strange campaign where most magic wasn't available including most medium magic so not really but I did a ton of theorycrafting with it!
Hey y'all, sorry my life kinda blew up in my face at the start of the school year! I'm gonna try to catch back up, may be slow going for a bit but I hope to be back by midweek if you'll still have me!
maths:
50 gp=500 SPx7 days per week/3 days gone by=1166.6/54 cards in the deck=about 21.6 sp per card, completed 580 sp worth of cards 580/21.6=26.85
Cass is remaking her harrow deck in the image of the one she dreamed of on the third night with an astral appearance and depicting her new and old friends.
Hello! Always happy for more!
Cass turns and looks about before heading over to help with ropework, stunned by the falling off, and wanting to get away from scourge
Looks like not very long.
No worries!
With Joran out and safe(ish) Cass will begin making her way around the group gathered and using Water lung to maintain the ability to breath water on each of them.
Can Cass get a finger into the sweat box to touch jorans back?
As Cass was moving to start doing her assigned job she barely heard Jorans shouting over the deafening din of the storm and ocean. When she did though she realized what must be happening, instantly she forgot what she was doing and sprinted to the box, tried to wrestle it open heedless of anyone who might try to stop her. She figured with Scourge on her side there was little permeant damage he'd allow. Well doing so she shouted out over the immense noise doing her best to come up with an argument she could use later should she be punished.
quick level up question, Deadly Dealer comes at level 2 for Cartomancer witches but returning cards comes at level three from deliver touch spells, so if I currently use any of my cards the deck is useless, can I recreate the cards that I threw and/or make partial decks during the three days we have?
