Is Lorde popular in New Zealand?
Hey guys. I'm going to be pretty busy over the next few days due to the holiday. I'll be back over the weekend just bot my character. The sheet is up to date and on new days give him detect magic, read magic, prestidigitation, and 2 rimed frostbites.
Mobutu watches carefully as Tusara unlocks the elf. Noting her grace, he lets of telling sigh, betraying his envy of her charms. The elf then takes his quarterstaff back in hand, if anything just to seem like he's doing something and continues to wait on the elf's story.
So we're not going to question the elf before letting him loose? I'd be upset if he went all rapey-stabby on us after he was freed.
Seko takes note of Merelinda's tone and steps forward himself, stopping once he's at her side. He draws up to his full height and eyes the man. "Indeed. And after you explain that to us you should tell us why the masked apes were trying to steal you away." He stabs his stick into the ground and crosses his arms as well, even arching his own eyebrow in an awkward attempt to imitate Merelinda's tone. Mechanics: He's only slightly intimidating
Seko flings the blood from his staff and bends down to look at the Ape's mask. "Curiouser and curiouser." he says, more to the general state of being attacked by intelligent apes."At least this damn dirty ape did not put his hands on me." With that he turns to move around to look at the others, making sure there are no injuries. Arriving at Bayani, he puts a firm hand on the elf's shoulder and says "O gbejako daradara, ore." Polyglot: You fought well, friend.
Correction. YOU'LL need monsters pretty soon. We're perfectly content with spending our time sorting out the *ahem* drama of being young, beautiful, and stuck on a desert island together.
Posted a round 2 action. If you guys decide to flurry tonight, please, use my character as you need him. Goodnight guys.
Seko moves next to Ivar and tries to figure out what kind of ape would wear such a mask, only to come up short. He then launches into an elaborate display of twirls and juggling with his quarterstaff. "Allow me to help!" he says confidently before bringing it down onto the ape's head. Mechanics:
Again, I double moved in round 1.
I double moved. WIll post an attack next round.
Squinting in the low light, Seko sees the outline of a few beasts surrounding a man. He hops up and follows Bayani, sprinting ahead of the ladies, one of whom seems more annoyed than concerned at first glance. He shakes his head and runs harder. Mechanics:
Mobutu sits and listens to Bayani's story that, though not similar to his, reeked of the familiar. "Awọn iyaafin ninu yara ti wa ni mo fun fifiranṣẹ awọn ifiranṣẹ si rẹ olóòótọ ni àlá. Sugbon Emi ko le ro ti ohun ti ejò tumo si." he says. "Ṣugbọn ti o ba ti o ko ri awọn kokoro, ki o si awọn ala gbọdọ ti nkankan miran." He leans back, laying down on the beach to look at the stars. That woman, Ieana, was some sort of witch. Do you think she planted those snakes in our dreams?" Polyglot: The lady in the room is known for sending messages to her faithful in dreams. But I cannot think of what the snake means. But if you did not see the insects, then the dream must have been something else.
Mobutu approaches Bayani as night falls. "Mo ní a àlá kẹhin alẹ ti mo ni lati so fun ẹnikan nipa. Mo n soro ni wa abinibi languge ki ko lati gbigbọn awọn elomiran. O kopa ti ejo ati kokoro." He hesitates for a moment. "Mo ro pe o je kan ifiranṣẹ lati a ọba kan wa eniyan yin." Polyglot: I had a dream last night I had to tell someone about. I speak in our native language as not to alert the others. It involved snakes and insects. I think it was a message from one of our people's deities.
I don't think we're supposed to be murder hobos... Not with that attitude...
I think we should. Otherwise we wouldn't make very good murder hobos.
"But she surely must be here. Or somewhere close." he says before realizing that Bayani's words were not spoken in common. They were rather a mix of common and a tongue Mobutu knew well. "Mo ti ko sọ mi ede ni igba pipẹ. Dariji mi ti o ba ti diẹ ninu awọn ti ọrọ mi ni o wa ti ko tọ si." He swells with a small amount of pride as he remembers his mother tongue, though his accent might need work. Polyglot(using Yoruba for my dialect): I have not spoken my language in a long time. Forgive me if some of my words are wrong.
Mobutu nods and stands, looking at the others. "Where is Ieana? Has anyone seen her since the wreck?"
As Merelinda channels, Mobutu swears he can hear something buzzing in his ear. He leans down with her to check the cook with her. "Will he be ok, priestess?"
Mobutu puts a hand gently on Merelinda's shoulder, nodding assuredly toward her as she looks at him. "Allow me, priestess." he says, forcing a goofy smile. "I have only recently become comfortable with idioms but I am, as they say, a surgeon with this stick." He swings the quarterstaff over his shoulder and moves up behind Ivar on their way to the larder.
Sixty-Nine unread posts... Thanks for leaving me the most sensual number of unread posts. Also, can someone give me a recap so that I can make sure I catch everything? I'm reading through now.
Hey guys I tried to ride a shark but thanks to SOMEBODY I'm now drowning. Just a heads up ;)
Not I. I have a date with a certain Katniss Aberdeen.
Thinking quickly, Mobutu tries to get a hold of the shark. Mechanics:
Only the cute ones ;)
They're great!
"Luck favors the bold." he says distantly, thinking about the phrase. "Well the bold favor fast results!" As he turns to long stroke he notices the fish and points at it. "Wooow! Look at how big that thing is!"
We can make it work ;) Not that it matters, but I FINALLY found a reference image that I liked. It took probably 5-6 hours worth of Pinteresting to find. Also, sorry for the rapidly changing mind on character build, I will be sticking with staff magus. I just really wanted to incorporate some stuff from my new books. I'm now definitely locked into staff Magusing.
"I woke dreaming of a wasp woman who became a snake. And now I am swimming in the ocean." says Mobutu, still backstroking absent-mindedly. "The waters off the coast of Cheliax are cold and dirty. But look, I can see down to the bottom!" He turns around and submerges his face. When he comes back up, it seems the reality of the situation finally dawns on him. "If we can not revive the Jenivere, how will we continue on our journey?"
That's why your toilets flush backwards.
Hah. The two Mwangi elves are steeped in social awkwardness. That may not reflect well on our race.
It's... complicated. In a good way.
I'm not sure if these NPCs are as permanent as the ones in Jade Regent. Besides we don't want anyone trying to use their ridiculously charisma'd character as a catalyst to reconcile
Mobutu stands triumphant over the lobster. He looks around only to find he is alone. He moves along, deciding silently to go back the the Jenevieve's wreckage with the others. He dives in the water and swims along. He switches to a backstroke with a little difficulty, saying "Its been a long time since I've done this." as he stares up at the sky. Mechanics:
Oh Goldilocks. The alternative is to do this table top! You are all invited to my house in Molalla Oregon on Friday at 8pm. Beer provided, lol! Is the dream of the 90s still alive in Portland?
So tonight's the first night I've had a chance to sit down and write something in about a week. Sorry for being distant. I've posted Mobutu's actions and though I won't be able to flurry tonight, I'll try to chime in with a post or two. Also, changed stuff, fixed flaws in character sheet. Rejiggered some stuff, and Mobutu is kinda brand new now (for the last time).
Dream:
He heard a buzz in his ear, and Mobutu instinctively swatted it away. But it came back, only this time it was louder. With a quick flurry he swatted at it again, but it didn’t go away. He then felt a tingle on his nose, and he stirred awake. Perched there, quite innocently mind you, was a wasp. It did not take long for him to realize that it was not alone. Through his peripheral vision, Mobutu could tell the wasp wasn’t alone. Many wasps were swarming around him. He thought about getting up, but he couldn’t. He then realized he didn’t want to. He felt something in him that was slightly warm and, he noted with surprise, deeply arousing. He sighed deeply and focused his attention back to the wasp. This was a sign from Calistria, he knew it, and that’s when he saw her. No not his goddess, but something close. She was beauty that would charm anyone, she was pride that bowed to no one, she was fear that could dominate everyone, and as her insectile wings spread from her back she opened her black compound eyes and told him without a word that she had chosen him. The rest of it was a blur. He felt her warmth, tasted honey on her breath, heard her buzzing gently in his ear. She could say I love you in five languages, he knew, but she only told him with her teeth. As he neared his release her buzzing became hisses, her wings folded into her skin and became scales, and her canines became fangs. As venom began to drip from her teeth Mobutu, lost in fear and ecstasy, suddenly found himself staring into the hot tropical sun.
He woke with his scarf in his teeth, breathing heavily and sweating, despite the climate. His pants were soiled, and he hoped to Unquenchable Fire that it was water that soiled them. As he came to he realized there were crabs… Everywhere. Equal parts disgusted and confused, he takes a roundabout way to the Lobster the panther is attacking and strikes at it with his scarf. "Pesky creatures! So long since I have seen them!" he says, he almost sounds excited to be fighting them. Mechanics: Attacking the lobster near Tusara.
Won't be available tonight, this is my game night.
This is the second fastest moving PbP I've ever been in. I'm really enjoying reading all of the enthusiasm.
Sorry for the light/sparse posts. Its been a pretty busy weekend and start of the week for me.
Seko moves behind Ieana, flanking with Albrecht, and full attacks, weaving magic as he does so (if he makes that will save). Mechanics: 5' step to flank Ieana If the frostbite connects, she's also entangled
Hey . I may not be available to flurry as much as you guys, so do not be afraid of botting my character for the night if you need him to do something (like act to move the round along). I'll try to keep my sheet updated so that you all have the latest info.
Motobu, our characters both have Ekujae heritage; both were born in Mwangi but were taken from it as children. Would it be reasonable to suppose they had become friends on the voyage, exchanging old memories and so forth? It would be very reasonable indeed! Unfortunately Seko's pretty emo about it all right now so you might find him annoying if you've tried to have a long conversation about Mwangi with him. So... Take that as you may.
Seko had found himself lost in thought, and appreciated the priestess leaving him. He had gotten everything he had ever wanted, and there his troubles begin. After spending some more time staring into the empty water and being an sad sack in general he is suddenly snapped out of the past. Things were happening around him. Lots of things he didn't quite understand. Burt once he saw everyone grabbing hold of whatever they could, he resolved to do the same.
Geez. I thought I was posting in discussion earlier. This is why I'm waiting to post until tomorrow
Seko emerges from the cabin with his eyes averted toward the deck. The warm air told him that he was getting close, and he was afraid of looking out toward the land he once called home. He saunters over to Merelinda and nods to her. "Priestess." he says, still looking down. "I bother you now because I want guidance, and I crave revenge." He looks up now, his golden eyes set on hers. "My dream was to return to the land of my birth and retake what is mine: the birthright stolen from me when I was taken as a slave to Cheliax. I thought reclaiming it would be revenge enough, but now I wonder if I should have stayed..." his voice lowers, "And killed them." Seko looks around, clearly afraid he may have said that too loud. 'The closer I am to Mwangi, the further I feel from my revenge. What must She think of me?"
So. Decided to go ahead and make that Urban Druid. Fluff is done. All that's left is to buy mundane items but I'll wait until after selection before I dive into that minutia. Good luck everyone.
