And the eponymous Stoirm Laird in all his glory. Part Thor, part Storm, Part William Wallace, Part 80's scottish music icon Jesse Rae... So, awesome!
Excelsior! Here's the beginning of Jubal's character. Need to do chores now.
Power Mathing & Questions: Base Powers
[3 Power Rolls Base - 4 Left] Storm Knight, first preference
Failing that you could drop Marital Arts 1 and I'd allow Weather Control 3... Are you suggesting this, because you think I'm out of power rolls, because I would drop the Government Contacts. Or that, Weather Control 3 is too powerful to be combined with Martial Arts? Weather Control doesn't have an attack, right? For the Position of Power without Government Contacts, I was thinking about a member of the House of Lords. So, not super rich, but a well-to-do guy with a title. In his secret ID, he would speak with a thick Scottish accent to hide a public school education. Using Google-fu for Scottish Weather Controller names: Hoolan, Bloat, Blirtie, Coorse, Gouling, Doister, Doineann. Do you prefer any of these to Storm Knight? I don't have a feel for how weird/funny they are relative to the game you want to run. Or, my second preference is Bulwark
This concept would be a cross between Captain America and Nick Fury. Ready and capable of doing anything legal or illegal to do good.
@SuperV BD Whatever you want, boss. If 7 +1AB power rolls, then my preferences for character concepts are with the 8 power rolls within my Profile. When we decide which one to use, I'll start building the character. Good?
Luthael has Arcana and Religion trained so only +5, so you describe them discussing things almost all the time with Help and advantage.
BD: I can wait to see what the others submit.
If Strength 3, Weather Control 3, or Teleport 3 don’t work, I could always make another power roll and see what hits. I’ll just be happy to play in your game. Cheers!
Trying to summarize interested players and potential characters for BD. Apologize in advance if I make a mistake. Please feel free to post a phrase to describe your character concept. Potential Player Characters * Pauljathome - Sysgofd, Welshman with Speed 1, Intangibility 2, flight 1, Bionic Arm, and Martial Arts (Pugilism) 1
* Crimson King - Interested
If you upgrade Energy Attack to 2 [which would cost 1 Power Roll] you also get the opportunity to select Energy Immunity vs Cold/Ice for a 2nd Power Roll. Worth considering? As you'll have 1d10 more Energy points to blast away with and be immune to same Energy type... @BD I thought upgrading a rolled power to Grade 2 took 2 power rolls, as opposed to your suggestion above. Or, is it only 1 power roll for Energy Attack? Edit Nevermind. I reread your post. Upgrading to Grade 2 takes 1 Power roll, and Grade 3 takes 2 power rolls. So, my characters will get more power rolls, because I thought Grade 2 took 2 rolls. For my Superstrength concept, would it be better to upgrade:
The Weather Controller would just go to Grade 3 Weather Control Cheers
I'm totally interested, too. I'll read the rules and roll a character.
The Sentry listens to the Super-Sentinel description and baths everyone here in x-rays confirming that they are not super-sentinels.
Luthael cradles Raseri's limp body waiting for a sign of consciousness.
"Raseri!" Luthael screams at he voice which is not hers. The prophet grabs his bejeweled, holy amulet and focuses on the gem, "The power of Khors compels you!"
@Sentry/Jubal: Out of interest did you consider any elements of Marvel's Sentry in your build? I'd have possibly had something like Kryptonite being able to activate The Void - probably make it connected to the Negative Zone also - "Negative Void" or some-such - Just spitballing as I love doing Amalgam stuff :) Actually, no. I based it primarily on ST's old character with a dazzle more Superman. Don't know much about Sentry. Will Google-fu Cheers
Luthael does not respond to Raseri and Scramsax but nunverbally, his head and shoulders sag in a not again. He looks to Gunnar for a hopeful solution, again.
"Thanks Gunnar. We appreciate your expertise," replies the prophet. He follows along.
Luthael replies to Gunnar and Raseri, "Thank Khors, we do not have to face a mad Ingryd. We have to hope that her hatred of hags will overcome all effects to deceive her."
Session Zero So, I've ideas on the origin of the agency (as first a bunch of aristocrats and Van Helsings), but obviously need ST to weigh in with what he wants. Since I'm excited to play this game, I want to work on a timeline of all the character's recruiting, so we can visualize the duration of the PC relationships as a component for what their current state is. Also, the agency may be influenced by older recruits, like BPRD was built around Abe and Hellboy. Obviously, please correct my guesses. I don't need exact years unless you want. I was just placing the recruitments between major world milestones. 1900
I vote Bride of Mummy, so it can be shortened to just Bride by her teammates that would also upset her.
Hi team I'd love to join if you have room. I see nobody took Dracula, so I'll submit a vampire. Let met catch up with all the discussions and post a profile. Ironic, since in ST's last game my character defeated Dracula, sort of. At least how I remembered it. cheers
I was really hoping that that wasn’t confirmed, because I cannot now unsee that mental image. Whereas before I could always shrug and not dwell on it.
Luthael is stunned by the massive melee instigated by his companions. Had the forgotten that they were looking for the hag and dragon eggs? Now, they needed to clear a room of goblins. Then, as he looks to reply to Raseri, he catches an iceball to the face. Such indignity. After wiping the ice from his face, he sends a bead of crimson to vat of flammable liquid to try to end this combat in conflagration.
+1
After they finally get though, Luthael offers, ”let’s warm up and get ready for spleunking.” He tries not to focus on Raseri’s temperature.
Yes. I dial the prophetizing when it’s just us. This last ploy of Scramsax really broke the relationship with Luthael who got personally chastised by his god for not preventing Scamsax from getting into trouble.
Luthael quietly listened to the banter of his companions responding to the foxkin's answer, which sounded suspicious to him. But perhaps, he is getting cynical of the coincidences of Midgard. His gaze and attention linger on the Thorsdottir. Wow. How wonderful is she.
Luthael replies conspiratorially to Ingryd, "I live. But, I have no idea how to pursue a woman. Let alone a woman like Raseri. Besides, I don't want to make it awkward for our little family. What should I do?"
Thank Khors! Raseri covered up with that blanket. Luthael needed help thinking about anything, instead of staring at her. And since that kiss, he has been thinking about her when he is not praying. So, the prophet tries to focus the thoughts of training sword work with her and Thorn.
Luthael replies to the evil artifact, it has been so much better with you keeping silent. Again, your perspective is not wanted nor desired. He awakes exhausted from the night of harassment by the forest. "Think we're going to have to make it up to the Margreve Forest on the way. Otherwise, travel will be even more difficult."
Letting himself be saved, Luthael whispers "thank you, Gunnar."
Luthael falls out of the tunnel and stares at the sky for awhile as his companions react to surviving. He wonders if he enjoyed the kiss of life with Raseri. He had never had any time for romance spending his time in prayer and on missions. He wonders if Khors put her in his path. The prophet stands up straightening his tunic and brushing the mud from his gear. "Raseri, I must profusely thank you on behalf of my Sun Lord. Khors was personally clear that if we had not returned that gem to its statue, Carn would have, and I quote set the whole blasted multiverse aflame." He nods and tiredly smiles at the Thorsdottir seeing if her reaction is any different than before the kiss. Then, he looks directly at Scramsax and says, "And, Khors knows you specifically Scramsax chastising me for not, and I quote keeping a better handle on that blasted halfling. So, my dear, please allow me to keep a better handle on you. Let's discuss any potential great capers in the future, shall we?" And then he looks to Gunner and Ingryd, "and, you two. Thank you for saving Midgard again. Let's take a break for a bit before tackling that hag."
Luthael tries to leave his frustration behind as he struggles to wiggle free with Gunnar's help. 'Khors bless me."
Believing that he has squeezed past his last bottleneck, Luthael blesses the bearkin, too. "Khors bless Ingryd."
Lutheal looks the campfire, then looks Ingryd in the eyes. After a pause, he looks back to and tends the fire.
That album was my introduction to the Cure by a friend. I listened to it so much that I know the order of the songs and expect to hear the next one when I hear one on the radio or Spotify.
Hey team! I'm back. I'll catch up and post asap. cheers
Scram's golden orbs lit up like a pipe-smoking backslider, as she was sizzled from within by Invictusol's summoned radiance "Noooo! Khors, why?!! I believed your Prophet's verse! I atoned for the temple!!" squirming around on the ground and hating religion like never before. @Scramsax. Are you taking the damage of the puppet? Because the evil puppet critted Luthael and is the target of his spells. Color me confused.
We can all go. In case, uh encounters... cheers
Luthael remembers the creature's have a strong ability to camoflage, so when Gunnar fire his magic missiles, Luthael prays for a burst of faerie fire into the area where he sees the missiles' impact. "Khors illuminate our adversary.!"
Luthael prays to Khors for his friend to relieve the discomfort of the poison gas.
@Talomyr Some of our player-characters are locals, I think we could be more engaged if you had the local PCs explain what's going instead of the NPCs. It might help us decide where to go faster. Just a suggestion. cheers
Luthael remembers his lessons about the Old Margreve and commits to avoid using any holy fire which could ignite wood, however limiting that would be. No sense aggravating the forest. "I'm fine to allow the Thorsdottir her weapons. Thor is not a deceiver, like his brother." The prophet offers.
Replying to the angelic shepherd girl before she departs, Luthael blesses her, "Khors blesses you with my presence and our success. Love overcomes in the end but can cause all sorts of pain along the way." Checking on everyone's health and morale, the prophet stays with Ingryd providing a warm embrace and no words of his faith. She needs the comfort of her new family to start filling the gaping hole of her lost family. He lets the infiltrating sunlight reinforce his faith in the lord of the sun.
Don't forget, Luthael is still carrying an evil artifact sword in a magic null box, like an unlicensed nuclear accelerator, on his back. We've enough risk to go around.
"Evil, Arianna. That is the evil that we fight. That retreats from the light of the sun." Luthael replies to the elf maiden. "Ingryd, let's go find the source of that flood of ale. Perhaps, there is some still some to imbibe." He heads upstream of the river ale.
I’ll take the weekend off too. GM, it would be great if you repeated the character creation rules and options. Thanks And Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate!
Let's play it out. It's been decades, since I've been in a TPK. But, they're memorable. I'm up for either solution, too. cheers
You're Cointhief? Ha ha. I just put in a concept. I love your games for as long as they run. Team, I'm flying to the other side of the world this week and returning Friday. So my posting quality and quantity will be challenged. Worst case, I'll catch up Saturday. Cheers
Emenius happily complies getting the eff out of the way. He limps away into the corner to lean against the wall. He issues a prayer to reinvigorate his replacement warden at the door.
And Luthael knows Gunnar truly cares, but it is playing it straight in front of the former prisoners
