Catherine Linchester's page

Good afternoon all. Hope we're all still in good health.

GM, are we at a dead end, for the game?
I had noticed you are still active on the board, so i was wondering if i'd have to hide the campaign on my page.

I second Rena on that.

Best wishes everyone. May this be a better year. :)

Catherine pockets the mana stone and looks at the others as Warren responds about Rose junior.

"I would not mind peeking in on our classmates' progress. I think both Sprig and i have specific people in mind."

Their best friends respectively, though i can't speak for Sprig on whether she wants to or not.

Merry Xmas everyone.

No sweat, and it's been good so far. ;)

Catherne's eyes equally glimmer with excitement, at the sudden gift from the archmage.

She steps forward to accept the crystal, giving a polite nod.
"Thank you. It shall be put to good use, for sure."

Catherine saw the hint of annoyance on the archmage's face. It was nothing new, working for a company back in Nasar also meant bothering some people at times, for the sake of progress.

She was surprised by the sight of the red crystal, but it wasn't the first time hearing of one, albeit a good while ago.

"I would be interested to see if the crystals could be used as a continuous source of channeled magic energies.
I have heard crystals have been used as small catalysts or foci, but if the crystal could improve the flow of magic through current day applications, such as lanterns, or golems, or energy rifles... such longetivity could be improved, could it not?"

She remains polite and open minded towards the archmage, keeping a proper distance between them, even though her technical brain meanwhile thinks up a few other ideas.

An electricity generating rifle would be cool.

"I was born and raised in Nasar, and innovation is a fun challenge, both for self and for the improvement of society. I believe improvement for society would benefit the order as well."

HP: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Catherine ducks away, thankfully she wasn't too close to start with, with the explosive statue still reaching a good distance.
The warmth of the healing is welcome, after the damp cool tunnels.

She walks towards the scholarly professor, makes a polite nod.
"Excuse me professor, a moment of your time please.
Within the tunnels, perhaps you know of them or not, we have found a large concentration of mana crystals. Would you know of a way to safely removing a small part of such crystals?
I am interested in studying it."

Catherine spits the alchemical liquid at the statue, and it seemingly turns into a glue-like goo.

Adhesive spittle requires no attack roll.

Statue gets to make a reflex save DC 15 to avoid getting stuck to the ground. It will still be entangled nonetheless for 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 rounds.

Take care, see you later.

Catherine picks a vial from her belt and uncorks it, keeping the chemical liquid in her mouth.

Adhesive spittle.

[looks over at Sir Terrel]

Kn.Arcana?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"Ah. That's right, it can be used as a catalyst for spells.
Said spell aught to be potent, solid stone an all."

"Lovely. A statue."

I'm completely ill equipped for this.

Catherine drinks an extract of shield and of long shot.

"I will speak to one of the professors about a survey and collecting later. Let us indeed proceed."

What field of work do you do.
Retail, per chance?

Studying the crystal is very much appealing to Cathrine, but the potential of one going boom is a bit risky at lvl 1.

I have +8 on both kn arcana and kn engineering.
Thoughts?

Correct me if I say anything that you disagree with about your magic system, I'm just riffing here :)

Catherine's just excited about her field of work, and its advancements. ^^

"I'd love to take a fragment with me for study, even if it is the size of a cherry tomato.
However, it may be best to relay this discovery to one of the senior professors, see if they can determine if this specific type of crystal is safe to chip a piece off from."

Thank you GM.

As Sir Terrel speaks of the magic infused crystals, she gets a little excited.

"Not just any magi-tech fusions. The crystals are also utilized by the weapons development.", she subconsciously holds her hand on her own gun, her own little piece of development.

"The latest is the 'elemental rifle', using a crystal as a power core.", realizing she might get carried away, Catherine recomposes herself.

"Of course, they are known to be unstable at times, especially in their raw form."

Catherine hadn't commented on anything in particular along the way, but she lets out a soft *shh*, as she hears other people, and points quietly downwards for others to see.

Her attention was irresistibly drawn to the crystals.
Kn. Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Ow, by 1...
GM, would my engineering background, and having being born in Nasar, provide circumstance bonus on this check?

That scene would probably unfold along this...
1) Insert conviluted escape plan.
2) Someone modestly mentions the rope option.
3) *silence & stares*
4) "We had ROPE?"

Catherine keeps her eyes open, hopefully seeing whatever is important.
Like pits or dangerous spaces.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Climb 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
[dice=Climb 2?}1d20+1[/dice]

No worries, i'll brew you up something and put you in a straight jacket. :3

"Alright.", Catherine puts it back into the pocket and attempts to start climbing.

Climb?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2, but the initial grip for the rope was not good, and she almost toppled forward.

Climb attempt 2?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Catherine feels her pockets quickly.

"Ah!", and she pulls out a flask with an icon of a corrosive droplet.

"Acid. Do you want it, Warren?"

Catherine quickly reloads, and aims at the nearest clear target.

Rt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Catherine lines up her gun, which is adorned with small, thin, ornamental gears.

Rt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Kn. Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"Well, now we know what made that sound. Those things are called ghost scorpions, derived fro their see-through carapace."

A joyous occasion.

But hopefully measures have been taken. :o

Catherine takes a few samples of moss.

"Assuming Erastil has interest in cavern systems.", as she tucks the samples in a pouch, with a slight smile on her face.

Catherine takes some distance back, as Sprig steadily makes her way half way across, then attempts a running jump.

"Race ye to the other side Sprig."

Acrobatics? ACP: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 = 20
And succeeds just barely.

*Oof*, and she stands up. Straightening her vest.
Knowing she made it only just, she has a fitting apologetic 'i got lucky' smile on her face, and held out a hand towards Sprig for the final stretch.

Catherine looks at the jumping, wondering if spring enhanced boots would be a thing for these sort of things.

Already had. :)

Shhhh, don't give him any ideas like that. ;)

Catherine would be at ease somewhere in the middle.

Looks like Rena has those.

Hearing Warren's questions, Catherine ponders it for a few seconds.

"Daniel asked for us to keep an eye out for him.
I think it safe to assume we prevent an unexpected death. Other than that, we were free to venture as preferred, at least that is the impression i got."

The flirting of Dart towards her is ineffective on Catherine, who is offset by the behavior.

If anything, he's skilled at making a fool of himself.

"That was your doing?", Catherine faintly smiles.

"Good thing grue isn't my kind of drink."

In response to Sprig's concern,

"Nah, she'd have said so if that were the case, i reckon.
Funniest thing'd be, looking at groups getting formed, is if she'd get into a team with Vicky."

Victoria was as good a friend to Catherine, as Elizabeth was to Sprig.

Catherine was eager to get through the day of trial.
Having chatted up with her friend Victoria the day before, both of them came in good spirits.

While Catherine would enjoy teaming up, Victoria was already on the other side of the room, teaming up with others.

Catherine shrugged, and looked over to see anyone she knew already.
The others getting together, she headed over towards Sir Ardan and Sprig, catching part of the talking.

"Morning Sprig, Ardan.", she says with a smile.
"Eh Sprig, i think your friend said something about forgetting something she needed to pick up real quick. Probably something she forgot to bring along."

I imagine Catherine would be acquainted with Sir Ardan, both at the ranged practice.
And as Sprig said, the girls could easily know each other through the dorm system.

Will get my final inventory sorted tonight. Week's been busy.

@ Sir Terrel, i assume you mean crit modifier, instead of crit range?
If so, pistols have x4, nat 20.

I am not a fan of such a high risk of severe injuries.

Minor curable injuries with slight penalties ensuing, i am fine with.
Missing half of my limbs and an eye on a bad day, good heavens no thank you. :)

I've switched skillfocus from stealth to Craft Alchemy. More fitting for background.

Mythweaver sheet is partially filled in, but time wise i'll finish it tomorrow.

Hello gents!

1. Generally what the others have said. I have played an AP in TotM, but i find maps for larger encounters a plus.

2. Con +1 has my support.

3. Np. Here's to hoping for good rolls.

4. I am new to Mythweavers, i'll get it up today or tomorrow.

Which means there could be demand for giant fly swatters.

Out of curiosity, GM, what level range would you think we'd reach?
Or is that a mystery even to you? :)

Purely for the sake of planning ahead.

I noticed the format on my profile was incorrect. Spoiler with the type result of personality test is now properly formatted.

*starts working on a clockwork puppet during the wait*

Personality test results added in profile, as well as questionnaire answers.
