Danny pauses for a moment, "You bring it to the attention of any of the Elders?"

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov) "Yer Uncle? Why the hell'd he do somethin' like that?" Danny growls at the thought though he's not sure what else he should ask at the moment. "Yeah, Chloe, she's great", he replies a bit wistfully.
Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov) Finn sees Danny start to get hot, "Well that's a load of bullocks then. How're you supposed to do yer job if'n no one telled you what the hell jes happened? When Chloe was coaxing a tree spirit I was wit her. Then suddenly somethin' didnae smell right, a coppery smell like blood wafted ta my nose, which thankfully actually works. Then the sound o' gigglin' not childlike but wit' adult malice laced behind it pricked my ears. That's when I attacked the damn thing. Luckily I was able to beat it down and banish it but who knows what it'd done to Chloe if I didn't. Deepcrekk said he thought it were a faerie spirit an a violent one at that!"
Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov) Danny nods and fiddles with his walking cane he leans in to where he thinks Finn's ear is and whispers into his eye, "Good, good. Deepcreek tell you what happened to me and Chloe a few days back?"
DM: Playing in 20+ games and running 26 (soon to be 27) is time consuming. Outside of the boards I have a fairly busy work schedule and of course a life!
Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another. To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to my status. So if I am missing for a time, just go ahead and click on the link in my Avatar and you will be able to ascertain my board status. My sincerest apologies if this is a bit of an inconvenience where you are waiting on me for an action but posting "I will be away for the next 3 days" 47 times (or more) is just not working for me any longer. Thank you for your understanding!
I will hold onto my last 2 XP.
Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov): As Danny stalks the halls trying to ascertain whether he should be out front or within, he sniffs at and recognizes the scent of Finn. He growls, "McCaskill, how're things?"
You can learn it during your downtime if you like. Since you have a few days, no roll is necessary to enter the Umbra. Great, I'll mark off the XP and add it to my sheet. Considering spending my last 2 XP on Athletics, will let you know by the weekend if I will or not.
ST, I don't have the book in front of me, do I need to make a roll to enter the Umbra and track down a spirit to learn the gift or can we assume that I did that over Downtime? That would cost me another 3 XP as it is within my Breed.
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:11 PM (Danny Greedy): Surprised by the hug Danny initially resists but then shrinks down to Glabro to return the expression, ”Nothing to thank me for, if I lost you I don’t know… anyway. I am glad you are safe. I’ll need to report this incursion into the Bawn. I hope it was a coincidence but I cannot be sure”. He awkwardly steps away, ”Let’s get back and get you some rest”. Once Danny and Chloe return to the Sept, Danny will report to the Warder of the Bawn and report the incursion of the spirit. What it smelled like, what it looked like, and its tactics. ”I refrained from drawing Gnosis from the spirit as I did not want to taint myself. Any idea what it was and who else, if anyone we should consult regarding this?” He will then seek out both Jason Rafferty and Deepcreek to aid in interpreting his vision from earlier in the day.
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:10 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny shakes his head and tries to remember the exact sequence of events - sounds and smells to answer Chloe's question. . But it all happened so fast, "Sorry Chloe, damn my sightless eyes! It did not for lack of a better term feel like a Wyrm spirit but what else could it have been? That mad cackling..." "Ritual ruined is bad yes but you dead Chloe would be much worse. I am just glad I was here..." ST RO: I think I may want to learn Sense Wyrm based on that interaction, is there a specific NPC that Danny would approach or should he consult spirits to see who would be willing to teach him?
Also, ready to come together for sure!
I am going to spend 4 XP on the second dot of Dexterity.
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:09 PM (Danny Greedy) . Danny shakes his head, "No, I don't know what happened a mad cackling spirit appeared... out of thin air... I suppose and attacked you. I fought it, a fairly powerful spirit or perhaps in my blindness I am not as up to the task as I like to think I am. Regardless, I have defeated it, it may still linger if you wish to question it. Are you alright?"
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:09 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny growls at the spirit and leaves it be for the moment. He takes a moment to let his wounds heal fully then approaches the body of Chloe laying his healing hands upon her: Mother's Touch ST RO: Yep, they don't make it super obvious in the rules unfortunately.
Tabletop or here on the boards? Here on the boards.
Oh man, my WW PCs are about to fight a pack of higher ranked Dancers... well, I DID try to warn them I/C ;-)
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:08 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny Soak Spend 1 Will for 1 Auto Success. - Two Damage. -1 All actions. Danny growls and strikes back spinning around eve further enraged! Spend 2 Rage for 3 attacks. Claw Attack #1 - DC 8 - Miss Claw Attack #2 - DC 8 - Botch Claw Attack #3 - DC 8 - HIT. Claw Attack Damage #3 - DC 6 - 9 Damage. ST RO: I do not believe that 1's subtract from damage or soak successes. I can look up the rule on that if you like but pretty sure that is how that still operates even in WW20. Not sure if that makes a difference based on the post above ;-)
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:08 PM (Danny Greedy) - 6 Damage. --- Danny is enraged that the foes still has not fallen, he knows that Chloe's life hangs in the balance and once more... Rages!
Attack #1 Primary Opponent DC 8 - Claw Attack DC 8 Attack #2 Primary Opponent DC 8 - Claw Attack DC 8 Claw Damage - Attack #1 - DC 6 - 3 Damage. Claw Damage - Attack #2 - DC 6 - 4 Damage ST RO: Yep no worries, I would have forgotten as well but I am running a Werewolf game on the boards as well and that has helped me brush up on the rules ;-). Correct, any other shift would take an action and thus a Rage point would have been required, the one benefit of being a Metis I suppose.
Man my damage rolls on that last two are for shit...
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:08 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny is struck from the side by another assailant - Soak His tough Crinos hide shrugs off the damage. He grins as he now knows that he has more than one foe to deal with. Roaring with Rage he attack both opponents as only an Ahround Warrior could do!
Attack #1 Primary Opponent - Claw Attack DC 8 - Attack #2 Secondary Opponent - Claw Attack DC 8 - Attack #3 Secondary Opponent - Again - Claw Attack DC 8 - Claw Damage = 6 damage Aggravated, last attack was Aggravated as well. ST RO: Damage - Strength 5, +4 Strength in Crinos Form, + 2 for Claw damage, and +1 extra damage for success over 4. With a 5 Strength, 10's on damage count 2x.
Page 285, "any Garou can shift to her Breed form instantly". Thus, no need for a Primal Urge roll or the use of a Rage point to attack and act. However, if you house rule different, no worries for me!
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:08 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny growls and assumes Crinos form! Calling upon his Ancestors to fill him with the spirit of Combat, Danny strikes.
Claw Attack Claw Damage =
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:07 PM (Danny Greedy) "Chloe, move! Something is off!" attempting to pinpint the place where the sound is coming from, Danny turns up the heat...
I still have an opening as noted below, anyone interested? Recruitment is OPEN once again for Bloodlines - A V20 Vampire the Dark Ages Campaign - Clan Ventrue You will start as Mortal. All I need is a concept to start with. I'll give this a week to see who appears interested. This is a LONG running game, 10,000 posts. However, prior knowledge of the Chronicle is not necessary or quite frankly even desirable as you should not know anything of what has already taken place anyway. For some reason no one seems to want to play Ventrue. Oi...
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:07 PM (Danny Greedy) "Indeed. From moment to moment it is hard to know whether I want to save or kill something. I am a living breathing paradox. After all am I not the blind seer of Homid tales you no doubt read in, what do you call it, school. Yes, at least one or two", he chuckles. "Yes I am sure let us see to her, well, you see to her I'll listen... Certainly, had you seen me as a girl you would have been horrified, it was not so long ago I had my first change to this form or the form of the Lupus. Growing up Crinos gives one quite the different perspective". Danny accompanies Chloe to the next spirit once again he stands by reverently as she performs the proper coaxing Rite.
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:07 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny responds, "Centuries ago, Metis were seen as creatures of the wyrm and often slain at birth. Even today many Metis are slain at birth by some Tribes. Not all Metis should be so slain would you not agree? Does it then not stand to reason that not all leeches are terrible? They are Apex Predators of the Homid world. No doubt most do the bidding of the wyrm knowingly or unknowingly, still some can be redeemed. To not believe that is not believe that Dancers can ever come back from their malady. You see I must believe such things, I must believe that Gaia will perform Miracles else during my own bouts in the grip of madness I may never come out..." He pauses, "Well you said Midnight Bargain and mentioned Dublin, what else could have the Tribes so riled up?"
I'll have my response to your last post up within that same time frame. Updating games I DM after a LONG work day.
Same problem here... :-(
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:05 PM (Danny Greedy): Danny remains silent while Chloe appeases the spirit. He too bows his head in humility and offers a muttered praise to the spirit for its gifts. "Ach, tha damned Leeches, can't trust em. Well... not most of em anyway. Some of em aren't so bad".
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 8:49 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny smiles at Chloe's comment, "I've got to stick to my strengths cause my weaknesses make me too vulnerable so yeah, fightin's what I know ya ken?" He stays silent for a short period of time considering what Chloe has told him, "So ya think not attendin' the ardfheis is tha' equivalent o' beatin' tha drums o war? If everyone is attendin' that'd be a dumb move alienatin' everyone. What tha' hell're they doin' in Dublin tha's got this nephew all hot n bothered anyhow?"
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 8:48 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny chuckles, "Ya never know when you'll need yer body guarded or from who!" He uses his quarterstaff like a walking stick to ward away any roots that can trip him up. He growls, "Well if the Wyrm will not provide us a challenge we've to provide one to ourselves. Much as I can't stand Braden I've got ta admit, if not fer him pikcin' on me I might notta done what I did ta get as tough and strong as I am. Not that I'll thank him for it err let him kno' I feel tha way. Wheat from chaff an all that. I've got ta be honest, I don't follow politics so much as I should, what're tha Leinster all up in arms about?"
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 8:45 PM (Danny Greedy) Danny grins, "Ah kin that yer joking right lass? I mean what self respectin' Irishman would turn down a beer? Maybe them American Irish but what do they know o' bein' Irish? Drinkin' on St. Padday and half of 'em 'er not even Irish what shows up!" He takes the beer and drinks half the can standing next to Chloe. He sighs, "Would you mind some company along yer journey? By then my time'll be up an I can head back and maybe catch Deepcreek and Jason together to give 'em the lowdown on what I was envisionin..." He drinks the rest of the beer and slides the can into his pocket, "Heh, creepy toy totem spirits, tha's a funny one".
I have a spot in my Dark Ages V20 game open for Clan Ventrue, anyone interested?
Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 8:46 PM Danny's sightless eyes turn towards Chloe, "Come now Chloe, you know I was not sleeping", he growls irritably. He takes a deep breath and calms down, "I had a vision, an odd vision. Unicorn and Red Deer they were alive and peaceful and then they were dead, like'n how the Homids stuff cloth as representations of animals for their children to play with. Soo odd, it was so odd..." He mumbles. He shrugs, "What're ye doin' out here anyway?"
The connection for Danny and Finn is an easy one as we are both from Munster. Pádraic being from Cork which is within Munster may have led them to at least met at a Moot. Not sure Danny would have met Mairead as a trip to Dublin would be tough for him unless someone took him there. Konstantin not having arrived yet, it makes sense that Danny would not know him.
Thank you for choosing me ST! That said, the boards have been terrible for me lately from a standpoint of connectivity so if I seem to have vanished at some point it is just because I cannot log on. When I get home later, if the boards are working I'll look everything over you posted above and other PCs to suggest connections I/C.
