Jego eyed one of the men trying to stand at brought his chain down hard.
...hardish. "It would be best if you just stayed down, son," Jego swung attacked the same man.
Jego hesitated for a moment as the crowd began to scatter. The loud, amazing singing snapped him back just in time to see Dayne engaging multiple thugs. He unclasped the spike chain with his right hand, letting the end clank against the street before grasping it in both hands and swinging it towards the “guard” that attacked Dayne.
And missed horribly.
In order to cast without moving, am I going to need to cast defensively? I assumed so since Dayne and Jego are adjacent.
By proxy I'm near Dayne.
No. You don't get to be sick! /S
Jego glanced at Dayne out of the corner of his eye, "Indeed."
I just noticed that I said "raisins." Lol In the episode of Futurama when the giant brains attack and Fry writes his own story to defeat them the brain flies off saying "And now I'm going to leave this planet for no raisin!" Yeah, that's a running joke with my wife and I. Apparently, I use it often enough that my phone autocorrects "reason" to "raisin" lol
Jego felt his jaw hit the ground, crash through, and burst out somewhere on the other side of Golarion. ”He can't be serious…” He nodded in agreement with the colorful woman, ”This is a punishment. A show of strength.” Jego flashed a concerned look to Dayne before turning to join Tilorean in addressing the mod, ”Head these words and protect not only yourselves but those you call neighbor! Stand firm and show them what Kintargo truly is! A city of brothers and sisters!”
”Exactly,” Jego rubbed his chin, ”Though I do not think that the government even needs to be 'bad,’ it just needs to be perceived that way.” Jego turned to listen to Tilorean... seemingly one of the few who did. ”I believe you are correct. It is only through the links we have with others–our friends, neighbors, and lovers–that will strengthen our cause.” He cocked his head in an effort to notice anything of importance being mentioned in the crowd.
And got lost in the irony of promoting peace and nonviolence while attending the rally laden in weapons and armor.
Holy smokes! What a holiday! Glad to hear you're okay. We were determined to go on.
Sidenote for Beorn: Jego has tea and a teapot on his person.
I dunno. But I say we go Bill O'Reilly and Do it live!
Jego paused before answering Dayne’s question, ”I believe that anarchy is what comes about when enough of a populace have been ignored, abused, and taken advantage of. It is a violent burst of emotion. Be it hatred of the oppressors. Fear of pain. Or love of that which they have lost,” Jego stopped walking and rubbed the pair of rings on his finger. ”Very few of the 'anarchists’ we have seen today have ill intent in their heart. Most are simply our neighbors that have grown weary of the ways in which the laws set in place to help them have been used as a lash to keep them in line. An artist does not want to destroy, but to create. A mason does not wish to pull a building down knowing the labor that his fellows put into erecting it. Each one of these people is another piece of kindling and with each transgression another spark threatens to catch the bundle.” He stopped walking and gestured to the mob around them, ”Anarchy is the ugly, corrupt sister of freedom just as tyranny is to order. And I am terrified of what may happen to this city if the tyrannical are faced with the threat of anarchy.”
Are we dead?
Foiled again! Honestly, just trying to keep the discussion alive while we wait for an update. Were you able to find anything on the Night of Ashes?
Oh? You think yous c'n just staht askin' all sorts a questios?
This guy with th questions. Get outta he'e with them questions! Who'ah you ta be askin' questions alluvasudden?
As the protesters took over dissuading the loyalists, Jago placed a hand on the shoulder of one of the protesters. He gave the young man’s shoulder a light squeeze, ”Be sure not to mistake their loyalty to Thrune as hatred for you.” Jago turned to speak to Dayne and caught sight of what appeared to be anarchists. He turned back to Dayne and motioned to the group, ”We should try to talk those ones down. If there is to be any violence, they will almost certainly be involved.” Jago approached the anarchists with his palms hands slightly up in a gesture of peace, ”I am sure you folks are simply in high spirits, no?”
Jago thumbed the pair of rings on his left ring finger as he pushed through the crowd. He occasionally checked over his shoulder to make sure Dayne was still close by. The lackadaisical way Dayne followed was threatening to annoy Jago. Though, he couldn't help but agree with his friend. ”I was thinking the same. That is why we need to keep an eye out for anyone that is urging either side to violence,” Jago glanced again at Dayne. The fear of violence had been part of the reason why Jago had asked his friend to join him. If something were to happen, he knew the smith would not hesitate to intercede for the citizens. Jago stopped to listen to a song crying for the sanctity of tea and peered up at the building, Surely, someone must address this crowd.
He sighed and began scanning the crowd for any signs of people threatening violence.
Uh...yeah, of course!
Ya know, I had never even considered that it would not be pronounced Yeh-go. I've been pronouncing it as a Y this whole time. So, there you go.
So, Dayne, I have an idea. And feel free to say no or come back with adjustments. Jego regularly had a local smith add links to a chain whenever he married people. After his wife is murdered he has the smith convert it into a spiked chain. What if Dayne's family smith is where he was going. Dayne and The go are both 30 so it could be plausible that the two became friends over the years. Maybe it was even after Dayne took over the smithy that Jego needed the spiked chain and Dayne is the one who did the work. Just thoughts.
I can't seem to get anyone's profiles to load. What are everyone's reasons for being at the protest? We could use these as jumping off points for connections. Jego is here to protest the government.
Thanks. Now my coworkers are wondering what I'm laughinghing about at my desk. @DM Ragnarok cool. I won't change a thing then.
Oh? Are doing it this way? Ok… Before I met The Monarch I was addicted to crack cocaine. Seriously though, thank you Ragnarok for being a crazy person and opening up two recruitments so close to each other. Jego Erwis is a Cleric and can/will fill the healer/buffer/channeller role while being a secondary melee combatant. His deity Hembad is the god of connections, matchmaking, and synergy. He once believed that the best way to bring people together was in matrimony but, since the murder of his wife–the person who steered him away from Asmodeus–he has since focused more on the idea that the chaos (Theologian) of life brings people together, if even for a brief period. Don't expect to see him preaching (openly) about Hembad's teachings as he is a Hidden Priest as well. At the time of writing this I'm actually beginning to question if the two archetypes DO stack though. Theologian gives only one domain and the Hidden priest False Arcanist ability replaces 1 of the 1st level domain powers. If our mad GM decides they do not, I will drop the Theologian aspect as I think the Hidden Priest is to crucial to the idea of the character.
