Lady Aannra One's page

Get up, bows to her fellow lords, enters Skafin and departs.

I agree Yin, we are having fun, as a Sand box game, GM if your making a new campaign thread, could you open up the game thread on this one. So we can have fun with the PCs we built.

I will be putting up a new campaign later and will link it here for those selected. Those who were not selected, feel free to remain in discussion, or go to gameplay, and roleplay as much as you like.

Yin and others who would like to have some fun with the Pcs they built, would you be willing to play fun sand box game here.

In the same world setting just outside of events undertaken form the GM.
More fun things with PCs, etc.

HERE is my idea for the sand box game.

I ask as I just had an idea for a sandbox game.

It has two stages

Stage 1: Finding the MacGuffins

All players make a PC, and home world and a MacGuffin

A random table is made of worlds and MacGuffins
Rolling on the table the group travels to that world and that worlds player is the GM until the MacGuffin is found, Chalanges meet and collected. So the group can move on to the next world/GM

The Idea is that the group of players travel to each world in turn.
Each player then takes turns in being the GM while the group visits their PCs world.
For each player there is a MacGuffin for the group of players to get on each world, by means of challenges set out by that worlds PLayer/GM.
Once all the MacGuffin are found and collected. Stage 2 can start

Stage 2: Finale Batter
Each player creates a bad guy at the same level as their PC for the final battle

Round 1
A random table is made, and all players roll on it to see which bad guy the face off against.
All players fight one on one this round.

If they lose they do not die but what to see which players made it past the 1 on 1 stage.

Round 2
The fallen and standing go to lick wounds and try again, retool and come back again. This time they can Pick who they fight one on one.
Until ALL the bad guys are beaten one on one.

Round 3
If the team still can't beat the bad guys one on one then they tag team.
Two or more can take on each bad guy in turn.

Once all bad guys beaten, move on to final acts,

Do again or think up something new.

In this way we all do a little GMing, do some fighting and have fun in the worlds we make.

holds her Glass up to Garron in a touts

"Good luck with your travels."

Stands as the a few seem to be marked by powers unknown,

"I feel it as well, but others may be needed, I shall think on this."

As some leave she sits and waits for another drink.

As the hours go by Aannra comes out of Skafin, and talks to the locals, seeming existed by the maxing anamatronics and light show, she makes herself look as local as she can for this. Later she gos shopping comming back with some history books some local nick-backs and a cake. Then when it's close to there time to go, she e plains the final act is comming, one that will be amazing. She the room gos dark, she wipes the memory's of a few, who seem a little two inqizative, and changes the memory's of others. A few reporters have shown up, she wipes any kind of reordering device they have.

The they post to Vin's home, v door and the stair, she spends some to looking around.
The new sentient tree seems happy, life for it is new and she knows how that feels.
Skafin has a chat with it, passing over some helpful tips.

Then they head back to the Loads meeting. When they get there, it's no surprise to see that very little time had passed, not all world had the same clock and it seemed the world of the art gallery had a fast one compared to the world of the lords meeting. Or it could be the other way around, true time was a hard thing to know, every thing was always local.

Once more with the groups she got out the cake.

"We want for cake, it's blueberry, would any one like some?"

::"Its fart to big to fit in here with me, I do have an Space pocket but its to sharp to fit in that."::

Takes 20 on Spellcraft

She locks onto the artist mind.

::"Now please do as I say for a short while, do not act alarmed, my and my companion wish to take your art work. I will pay you in kind if a my, I am now placing in your mind a store of knowledge from art traditions from a number of worlds. In it you will find ideas that will make you famous and also wealthy. Now no one will ever believe you of you say how you got this information so its best we keep this between ourselves. There all done, now we need to take your Crystal tree. Place say to your guests its all part of an 'art-happening' and you designed it all. Have a good life."

Lets see power used Mind control DC30 and give him a a save of 12 say 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 then her Diplomacy1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26 take 20 on art history, and all should be well. She then hacks the securoty system and wipes the tapes. Take 20 on Technology.

Skafin and she displaces next to Vin

@Vin
::"All ready that should fix things here, when ever your ready lets take you new awakened Crystal tree back."::

I think you can tell a rule orientated player from a fluff orientated play by the way they address this question of where to go next with your PC. If it's just a rules add on, then cool
If a PC driven action or event then cool as well. I'm half and half, All my PC wants is to find a way to live longer than 5 years. Any event in game, power or mythic ability that lets her do that is her main objective.
So Learning more and gaining more knowledge, I see that panning out will
As an objective and motivational driving force In game play for her.

thats ok, she had Skafin record the conversation so let's see, between the two ideas of location.[also we have to fracture in how the grand stair my work/ooc]

The move to the door of this world, pass threw
Then the vastness of the stair, not going to far down it they come to another door, then throw that, into a large populated plane.

The end up in large art gallery, where a group of humans are lissaining to another human talk about his new art work the crystal blueberry tree. Hand made by himself over a number of years. Aannra stays with in Skafin hoping the locals will take her as just one more art work.

::"Well, this dos not seem right"::

She says, as two of the locales ask the galery owner how much she costs.
He meanwhile look at her scratching his head, trying to work out how a silver art work came to be bobbing in the air in his gallery.

[ooc]over to you invisibility girl hehe

Aannra displaces into her ship an instant before the planshift happens, becoming one with it. Ski fins shields go up fully. As they start to port across reality"s she notes the randomness of there targeting. Then with unimaginable metal sped, auto carrects it.

::"Send me an image of where you wish to go, I will shift us to that location, I have a greater control over our moment."::

Plan shift as well, with no mistake as she taps into the great Pattan. New location crystal tree as discribed

As Yin

*Yin, together with the Cask of Fire Giant Brew, slowly begin to fly away, inching her way towards Aannra, while she is giggling enthusiastically...*

Skafin comes back.

Aannra steps away from a little as she dos her clothing changes to a high tech space suit. While this Happens Skafin transforms getting bigger and adding force shielding. IMAGE HERE

She looks back as Yin plays with Garron

Looks at the bar keep,
"Really, well he has the size for it, but I do pitty his poor liver"

Then looks at Lord Garron

"Lord Garrin, on some worlds drinks like that would be listed under dangerous substances, very much in the way most toxic and dangerous things are. Such drinks would be band by law, for good, sound public health reasons."

Takes the minotaur brew and downs it all in one go, she stands still for a moment, as if thinking, then here eyes go wide, she then in one move regurgitates the whole think back up into the same mug she drank it from. She then hands it to Skafin, who with unseen hands of force hold it.

"Skafin go fine a rocky place and burn that drink out of exsistance, I have never tasted any thing so horrid and disgustingly fowl. Go, go now and save us all. "

The drone zooms off,

She then takes up her blue wine class and takes a long drink of that.
Happy now she looks over at Lord GenjFaXian

"I was thinking this was just another day in paradise, that was unstill I tried that drink fellow Lord, sorry that sounds so , could I ask your Name, I'm lady Aannra One nice to meet you."

Probably why the GM has not said any thing yet, I know we have been talking Crunch, but I must say some of the fluff from other players is outstanding, there is also a wide range.
Of ideas and would setting. All in a good way.

She nods her head

well I am logging off now guys, all the best of luck to one and all.

"Well I will stick to this nice blue wine then for the time being."

Skafin comes into being close to her, She case is glowing.

She looks at it and says

"I see, well that serves you right then don't it, don't go upsetting half devils, you better say here and get into no more trouble,"

"Could I have one as well please"

Aannra asks.

placing some coins on the bar

Walks with Garron over to the others, it seems like it will be an interesting Conversation.

Then as Yin, Daughter of Nug, she says.
"Where I am from, some lose there whole lives to mushrooms and other narcotics. I would not recommend it for any anyone, it seems such a sad thing to do to oneself."

"Ya had a minor conflict with another lord, nuthin' to worry 'bout. No one is gonna start a fight here."

Garron lets forth a deep throaty laugh, wondering how in the world a Gossamer lord could be so cowardly.

She Pats his large arm and says

"Well you know what they say, Garron, its always best to 'Talk quietly and carry a very big stick.'"

She then go's back to looking at where Skafin is talking, and nods back at
Yin, Daughter of Nug.

"Lord Garron, would you be so gentlemanly as to keep me company, its seem that some here find threatening a lady with... possible violence for a miner act of inpoliteness an acceptable form of behaviour. I would feel a lot safer with you here to protect from such."

She looks worriedly over at Wodin Earthbreaker at the bar then up at Garron's face.

Nods to the man she was talking to and heads around the room.

She chats with a few, getting to know them, being polite and interested,
then moves around until she is standing next to Garron as he is just saying, she places friendly hand on his arm looks to the subject of his comment.

Well met lord dragon, we don't know exactly why we're here. Most likely the stair called us here due to some massive event that's gonna strike in the near future.

Looks at the Water Dragon with some interest.

Looks over at Barrett,

"I meet a very large water elemental not long ago. It was collecting samples of water based bio-systems. It said it was trying to populate a water world he had found that had been stripped of all life. What was odd was it was carrying them inside itself"

She shoots in a stern look,

"I think you had best go back to recording the party don't you"

Turns to the man next to her and they start talking about the wines on offer. Then looks over at Barrett Armstrong just before he offers a change of subject.

"Am of tired of this. Came here to relax, not to of having existential argument with obtuse construct. Use of powers on others strictly forbidden, understood?"

1st the 1st time she links and its as the spell is broken, she leans back onto hear seat and and picks up her glass once more.

Hahah man that's great, all you need is a little house next to it, you have now welded that image into my brain, Ill never get that out.

I added a little house and some scenery.

now your just messing with my head haha, looks like a MrMen book,

"Is there air in your lungs? Is there blood in your veins? Have you a mind, a heart, a soul? You are every bit a living being, the same as each of the Lords and Ladies arrayed here."

Her eyes swivel round again and show normal looking ones before she gos on. She is still unnaturally still.

"Air in my lungs no, I internalised oxygen production shortly after my construction so I could explore vacuum environments. Blood in my veins again not as such, I have an enriched ninite super-fluid that simulates look and function of blood. Do I have a mind, I have more than one, but they may not be what you think of as organic minds, more set of subroutine consciousnesses, several of which right now are prepossessing the information my scenes are accruing and one of which is communicating with you now. Do I have a heart, I have something that simulates its function. If you asking if I have feelings again I understand them and have simulations of them if needed. Do I have a soul, if you mean will my collective consciousnesses venture my some supernatural way into an afterlife with a deity, over arching ideology or thematic reality. I would suspect not, A corporeal back up , total end of function or if I can find a way a transposition to a state of pour Eidolon, would be more likely outcomes. I also note your response was aimed at myself and not Skafin here. I know that you have a Psicysral as well, there around your neck. I could not but detect it communicating with you. So I will ask again, would you, now knowing what you do count myself and our Psicyratl's under the heading of living beings. Or by your own definition only encompass organics with souls?, just as a matter of clarity."

She looks at him, seeing now his emotions, here was an organic that lived with absolutes, faith, behaviour forms, a being who took the view that might was right.

Skafin flouted done next to her side, she places her hand on the Drone.

She ignore she show of bravado as just more emotion getting the better of him

"I note that, that was a very lawyers-esk answer to my question my lord. And what would a living being encompass exactly, do's that term include us two."

Her eyes are still on him.

She looks at him, she is still, her eyes still unfeeling hard construct ones. In the same tone as before she says.

"I hear and comprehend in your words that your having some personal emotions connected my actions. You wish to be seen as a representative of a group that would place me out side. I also now see you miss understand them let me put your and others minds at ease. The security scan I used was at a low level, it mealy detects the presence or absence of sentient minds and nothing more. It's function is not to inspect the contents of such minds if detected. That can be done with a higher level scan but as you stated, others have asked that I re-frame form doing such scans. This matter now being cleared up and you being informed of your misunderstanding in regards to what I was doing. I consider the matter concluded. That is unless you wish your emotions to lead you into making this a contentious issue?. Before you do, could I ask, do you have a personal dislike of constructs?."

She still has not moved her eyes still staring at him like two balls of glass.

"Lass, I am pretty sure multiple people have already asked you to not going digging around in their heads. It's rude," he says, his tone clearly not intended to scold the woman, but rather to explain what she's done wrong.

Wodin manifests Personal Barred Mind.

Got you Wodin, ye he would pick her scan up with that, he may note she has limited it to 30' around her not the max range it could have been.

Her mind scan ends but the vision detection stays
That ones passive, no need to roll he would now what that ones is Wodin hehe

She looks at him fully understanding the concerns of the Organic,
His scold tone is an emotional device seeking an emotional response from a fellow emotional being what he gets is in response is the cold logic eyes of a constrict, no feeling or emotion at all, just mechanical blue orbs.

She says in a polite respectful, even and informing voice.

"My fellow Lord, I comprehend your concerns, and I fully apologize for any short lived mild discomfort my security scan may have caused you or others. I would explain myself. You see I also think and consider it rude to hide one's presence around us. Particularly while I and my fellow Gossamer Lords discuss matters such as the current Dwimmerlaik activity and its possible impacts on fellow Gossamer Lord world security. You see I place that security at a higher priority than the short lived mild discomfort my scanning the area for spy's and unwanted eves droppers may have. If you feel that is wrong then I understand that. But the Dwimmerlaik have been know to play all manner of tricks, even in realms like this one. One can't discount them discovering about and then seeking to find out such a large gathering of Gossamer Lord like this. To this end I have seen a number of fellow Gossamer Lords here taking simpler actions and precautions. Now call me and such fellow Gossamer Lords paranoid if you must, rude even. But one thing we do take very seriously is security. So I beg your pardon and ask forgiveness and ask that you tolerate such actions we take for the greater good. Furthermore if it makes you feel better, I would say those that can, have placed defences around there minds, much as you yourself have my fellow lord."

She bows her head to him respectfully.

She says all this in a respectful voice but with a commanding lilt to the last part. Explaining that he may have emotions and feelings that what she did was wrong but that she counted herself justified in her actions for sound cold logical, dispassionate, tactical, mechanical, reasons.

She's a construct Replicant AI after all, to her logic trumps fleshy squishy things like emotional feelings every time. Thanks for letting have the chance to show how I hope to play her if picked. Methodical, calculating cold hard logical construct that she is. hehe

After Maerar came into being Aanra wanted to know who was tugging on the imps hair,
To any one looking a number of odd circuitry like pattons glow over her skin, the glow a light blue, her eyes also change, swiveling around in there sckets to be replaced with electric blue orbs. Of what she sees she says nothing. All she seems to do is glance around.

powers used, detect minds 30', pierce the vail sight.

Skafin comes down and Aannra looks at images of Dwimmerlaik he projects for her.

"Facinating"

Suchak puts his hand to his head."So long as it doesn't change or take my memories in any way, then yes. But in the future, would you mind refraining from unexpected mental communication."

"I will respect both your wishs"

Aannra says

"Thank you Suchak, that was very kind of you"

CRUNCH is here in Lady Aannra one
I may change some small things, but the core 98.45% of her is there now.

:)

Aannra nods as Suchak talks

Aannra looks under the table and sees the shadow,

::"hello there, you happy down there. ."::

Then as Suchak talk of things I space.

"Old ones that dwell beyond space, would you be so kind as to expand on that comment. Precisely who are you referring to. "

She asks in a nice way showing genuine interest.

She looked over at it, she had been keeping an eye on the convention going on around.

::"If you would please Skafin, this is all very interesting"::

Let's the others talk, they where supplying information that was Pericles.

O, how I hate you tiny spell checker, Dose!! not Do's

"and do's your world have problems of late little one"

She nods as he talks listening intently.
"It do’s sound a beautiful place, my world is not like that at all, its riddled with competing corporations headed by mage rich Noble, families, who seem to fight over everything, from ‘who sits where at a table’ to mega coin trade contracts. There are cults of all forms, Good and evil and be found hard in hand in them. Then now and then Invaders come, they just end up being added to the blend of a vast mix of cultures and races. You see there is no night in the Hub, just endless day, o there are placed of shadow. Down in the lower levels, where dark things live, In the Hub is life and death in many forms. AI’s like myself marry with Organics like you, they have family's some even go on to build empires of intrigue and cunning. It’s the way in the Hub. Orger and Mecha can be made, bought and sold. All.. Being taxed by the vast ‘Bureaucracy’, which tries to maintain order in the name of the Emperor’s. Someone they say has to pay for the Hubs trading fleet. Who runs the fleet, mostly corporations and their Noble Family's, who use faith, power, crime, greed, selfishness and ambition amongst other things as weapons, not that they are alone in this, you can found them most walks of life in the Hub. So you see, from what little you have told me, your home world sounds like a parricide."

She leans in.

"Yet for all that, just like you, I have been tasked as my world protector and Gossamer Lord."

She sits back.

"and like your world, there have been odd things happening in mine, things that need an explanation. I have feeling some if not all of us are here, have a slimier problem to address."

She looks around at the others

She looks over at Suchak

"Yes its artificial but who made it who knows, its as old as reality they say, billions of years. now one really know who made it or how old it really is. It has just always been there, like a few others. So they say. Most of what is known is rumour and here say. One of my great hopes is to one day find out just who made it and why. I have been looking but as yet found nothing of use, other than more here say and rumour."

She places the plate in front of Wodin and smiles showing interest.

"That is very loadable, would you mind tell me little about your world, and the events that you have talked about. I have been to a few doors and seem some most interesting worlds, I would like to hear about yours."

she sits back, crosses her legs an waits.

"How about I tell you of my home 1st, just so we have Quid pro quo.
I come from a Hub world, of the strange hollowed out artificial worlds made by a race Millennia, its vast its inner skin sitting in the habitable zone from the Orange sun at its centre. Who made it why nobody really knows. It’s just old and vast. Its outer kind is made from a marital that both protects in and has the sad propriety of being deadly to life. Skafin if you please."

The Drone above her projects down a 3D image just between them, what is shown is a black ball in space, over its surface a number of lights can be seen, evenly dotted; there is no real feeling of scale. It sits in a star filed, then the image pulls back to show light bending off to one side as it pans around the black ball object, it’s close to a Galaxies outer arm.
"The lights you can see are entry ports to space they let you in. Star Faring Ships enter by that means. The outer skin stops all porting in or out so the only way in is by a space-Gate. The Star field distortion is a super-massive Black hole. All hub worlds obit one and are tidily locked to. It’s a long way away but still, why the Hub Wolrd does not fall into the whole, again is a mastery just as the manufacturer of the Hun world is, on the inside."
The Image changes and the POV enters a Star-Gate, you can now see a star blazing away, its small and orange. Around it is a smooth dull inner sky, the POV moves once more, you zoom into the sky to see its not smooth but is in fact covered in Structures. There is no sign of open water or lands of green life anywhere. It’s ALL Structures, a vast city of them, endless and miles high. As the image gets closer you start to see traffic moving in the air between the Structures, vast lines of tragic of all manner of being and craft. You skim along just above this endless City looking down.
"That's a Farm, 2000 levels of food production; there is a resources reclamation plant. There a school complex, and some 400,000 students, here a Hospital, there a trading port with Star-Ships."
The buildings are vast, covering 10s of miles in area each. And the blocks of the city are packed, layer upon layer of interlocking walk ways and sky tunnels. The Image pulls back one more to space.

"And that my place of origin, The Hub World"

The image winks off.

"Now your turn."

"Yes, that is the case. It has fallen upon me to investigate the disturbances beyond the veil that are affecting my world."

Aannra looks over at him,

"That sounds very risky and dangerous, if you want some help with that you need only ask, I would be glad to offer my skills."

She offers him a Wodin a plate of nuts and dried fruits.

"You see Investigation is a speciality of mine."

Taking her wine class, she sips her wine while
Laird Aitken, builds the tension for his act.
could it be a poem, and act of creation or and dance number.
When he pulls his head back up and feeds his pet, Aannra slumps
in disappointment,

"O, was that it"

looking around she is not the only one.

"How about some music, Skafin play something light"

From Scafin comes the sound of a light music sounding something like this

Looks over at the commotion that Garron is looking at.

Can we make rolls to see what is going on. Any Kn Skill Take 10 for 44

"lets seen now, what is he up to over there, Could it be more entertainment, I do hope so."

Perception DC20 to over hear what is said

"What is this place? It's a world I've never seen before. Though I guess that's no oddity in and of itself."

As her Drone fly's back to her side and stays there, then heads off again this time some what slower. Looking for all the world a little dejected and stops next to Attoshi Moon-Scarred in a polite and respectful voice it says.

@Attoshi Moon-Scarred
"My Mistress apologizes, she will desist from that form of communication with you in future. Please except her apologizes."

Skafin then he heads back to Aannra.

As he dos, Aannra looks up at the reptile being as he comes over and adds to the comments of others..

"Its a party, and a nice one, you must have been invited or the lord of this place would not have let you in. Come take a seat, eat and talk.'

She points at one of the empty seats.

"We have food and drink and everyone is telling about there adventures"

Then to all she says

"You know I stopped a war the other day. A pour mad king was seeking to take over a world. I was able to convince him that he should dedicate his life to the arts not a wasteful thing like consequential wars. He's coloring moons now."

This is said light heatedly it could be a joke or it could be true, its hard to say with the AI.

just a side note: Aannra is not reading minds her power are passive right now. She is projecting her thought voice. To individuals and to the group at time, but will not to any one who asks her not to. Also you can simply have your PC block it out with out a save, she will not push it on you. She would not be that rude. its Just like plugging your minds ears etc.

Look at that Page 2 already, I do hope the GM lets a few of us in, I think we will blaze along.

Aannra shakes the Orcs hand as he comes around,

She waves at Skafin comes over then the small drone go's to high hovering over the party.
