With having medical issues, I'm willing to give a little more time.

Deadpool is so quotable! That's originally from Monty Python. Warning, this link has officially been ruled "actionably indecent" by the FCC.
Jassie joins along in moving forward.
"Thank you Timmeon. Please stay in the back and we will protect you until we clear the end of this trial. After that, I expect that the Cardinal will make you an offer involving continued service." She nods to the others that she is ready to proceed when they are.
I've spent too much time with my parents in the hospital over the past couple of months. I'm glad you're free.
"This may be the single most significant question you answer in your lifetime, so think carefully." she says with a steely tongue sheathed in silk.
Is he wearing anything that identifies where he came from?
"Ah, we have our subject." she says with a delighted tone. "Well, we know what we have to do, we just need to figure out what category he falls into." She will loosen his gag. "So how did you get into this situation?" she purrs in his ear.
You have my deepest sympathies. Hospital time always passes far too slowly. I hope you have a great nursing staff, and get better quickly.
Jassie will try to open it telekinetically from a distance.
Jassie readies herself to go through once the big strong warriors get in.
Jassie looks up at the ceiling, "Well, do we get a cryptic message this time or what?"
Jassie pulls pulls out a marble and send it through the mist, trying to avoid hitting Lilitu
This is a hard choice. I would tend to say traps first because traps are usually pretty hard on low-level parties, but tend to be just an annoyance later. But it's an online game, so you might want to go for the fun boomy option now.
Jassie will stand back and open the door telekinetically. Even though most of these rooms had given them a warning, they should never let their guard down.
Jassie will start feeling the walls to see if there might be something smashable.
Jassie will feel the wall to try and determine what needs to be shattered. "Get the alchemist's fire ready. We gots an adversary to burninante!"
"It's an act of faith." she says, and then follows Lilitu down, but with a little space. As she enters the darkness, she remarks, "This must be what night is like for a human."
Jassie stays, being even more cold resistant than the usual Tiefling. Given the instructions in the room, she will kneel and reverently say, "We serve our Lord Asmodeus through His agent Cardinal Thorn." and then attempt to open the door for hte telekinesis.
Jassie will cheer on Wiktor, "Keep going! Burn it with ice!"
"I'm not sure." She looks over to the others to see if they know.
She enters the room, taking care to step away from the others. She barely notices the temperature, but shivers a bit out of habit. Years of training told her she needed to mimic the reactions of others to fit in. She looks to see if there is anything hidden.
"Stand away and let me trigger it." When everybody is as clear as they can be she'll telekinetically trigger the door.
"Without self-deception, I'm not sure if I'd even exist." She says as she pauses to look around.
[b]"Let's not be too hasty. We should check each other's perceptions before taking action here."[/]b She says to Wiktor.
Jassie stays near the rear, but is ready to move forward.
Jassie will tighten up the straps on her armor and grab her buckler. While there's a dagger at her belt, she pulls a few marbles out of a pouch and rolls them around in her free hand. She moves to the back of the group but seems ready to face these threats.
"You choose the one you prefer to spend time with, of course." she purrs, staring directly in Lilitu's eyes. Then she quickly turns away blushing.
The seventeen year old girl steps up, nervous, but wanting to get this out of the way. "Um, I'm Jacinda. or Jassie if you want. I have some powers, mostly healing, but a few other abilities..." There's a pause and she shifts to a very confident pose. "I should explain that there are more of us in here. I'm Certi, the echo of a Phistophilus Devil. I manage the system and handle more nuanced interactions." She slump, bent as if she aged sixty years in a moment. "Dellus here, Jassie's grandfather. I've been fighting for decades against those bastards on the throne. I could tell you a few stories..." She returns to Certi's posture and voice. "Oh, we'll have time for that later. Our last passenger is Kivler, an unpleasant little poltergeist who's currently sulking about being bound by this contract. Still, he's useful when you need to hurl something at somebody's head."
Lilitu and Clarissa/Fang Dragon please come on over to the mighty fine discussion so we can move forward. I really appreciate the applications and apologize for any confusion but I was posting with bow hunting on the brain. All of the quality of background and effort to character is awesome and should we lose another soul to the evil deep of the abyss I shall pick from you all and make my evil offer.
I will be making a decision by this coming Monday Oct 5 10 pm CST.though i'm not entirely sure if that's meant to be tonight Monday Oct 3, or if it will be Wednesday Oct 5... Technically, it would mean that the recruitment is open until 2026. That should be plenty of time to make characters.
Looks like Agghhh is going to be last to act pretty much. Wonder if I should bother with Improved Init. Oh, you aren't that far back. d20's are swingy things. I usually don't go for high initiative except for rogues. Since the initiative wraps around it really only matters if you have something special that requires a flat-footed target.
Yep, Jassie is physically female but half of her personalities are male. We already have two healers in the party, but I expect that we may be going up against big numbers if things ever go wrong. With a third we could definitely have flexibility. A bit of an outlier for an evil party to have so much healing available. I did notice that everybody in the party already has low-light or darkvision. It will affect our options for night missions if we do go for a pure strain human or another race with defective eyes. This can eventually be corrected, but it's a consideration.
"Aww, that's so sweet!" says Jassie as she hugs his big ogre arm. She turns to Aggghhh with a grizzled voice. "That's one of the reasons I spent 40 years fighting that graxtafraxing House of Darius. I'm not gonna let any blueblood tell me I can't share a mug of murrl with an orc." "I'll tell you all a secret, now that we're all in this together." she says with a silky voice, "I was contracted to provide a child that looks completely human, but with some fiendish advantages." She gets up, slides up her sleeves and rearranges the logs in the fire with her hands. Brushing off the ash, her skin in unharmed. "Now that I'm part of that child, I'm so glad to not be helpless in the dark. It's a wonder humans survived with such poor eyesight."
Bravo! Great job
And I'm sending them back at you and your family as well.
I'm going to have intermittent posting issues for the the indeterminate future. I'd like to stay in the game and will do my best to keep up because I'm really going to need an outlet. But at time I may have issues posting. But I understand if you would prefer to have a clean break, especially while you are already recruiting. the long ugly version: My dad got out of the hospital today after brain surgery a week ago. The hospital thinks that it's A-OK to send him home even though he can't even get out a chair without help, and his lucidity comes and goes. My mother has mobility issues as well, so I'm going to be taking care of both of them. We'll have a caregiver part of the time four days a week. We got the pathology back, and it's glioblastoma. Aggressive brain cancer. The overall survival average is 12-18 months. My dad is 83, also has a heart condition and doesn't think it's worth extending his life if those months are sick on chemo. So I may be a mess for a while, and I ask you to be tolerant and bot me when I can't make it to the boards.
Over the next three days, the personalities within will seem to be working out issues with the annoyed poltergeist. Figuring out the new balance now that her internal chaos is formally a hierarchy.
91 gp left I've got 122 left. Maybe we'll end up with enough for a wand of Infernal Healing. It's good to be in a campaign where people don't turn their noses up at the best healing wand in the game merely because it comes with an evil aura.
End of AoA:
So did you fight Mengkare or convince him? For SoT, this group is doing two characters each (1 gm and 3 players). I'm doing a Conrasu Staff Magus and an Ancient Blue Dragon (who happens to be reincarnated into a cute little kobold who wants to make up for her past life).
Is there just one iron circlet, or one for each of us? ----- The start of SoT was really fun - it's got great character development!
This contract won't affect the mechanics of my broken psyche, and I'll still have fun with it. Equipment updated
She will request an additional parchment and write out the following addendum. The Terms of this Compact shall apply in Full to all Psyches, Personalities, Entities, Imprints, Echoes, Past Lives, or other subdivisions of the Mind and/or Soul or residing within the Body of the contractee.

While included in the above, any such entity Inspired, Created By, Mirroring, or Influenced by the Poltergeist Kivler are specifically Bound by this Contract in Letter and Intent. Should there be any Internal Dispute as to the correct course of Action, the psychic imprint of the contract devil known as Certifilicious Desirata, also known as "Certi", shall have Final Authority to choose the correct action in order to properly Serve The Loyalties specified above and Further Their Goals. The specified Authority covers both Compelling and Forbidding of all Actions, Communication, or use of Supernatural, Magical, or Mundane Abilities. Such Authority may be reassigned by the First or Second Loyalty at any point for any Reason. Nothing in this addendum shall challenge any terms of the attached Compact. As she does so, she is obviously fighting to hold control. If the Cardinal approves, she will sign both the original and the addendum with "Certifilicious Desirata and Dellus and Jacinda and all others Express or Implied"
She starts to get a wicked grin and opens her mouth, "You can take your
When she rises, "Part of me is an echo of one that has served Asmodeus for millennia. I will gladly continue this service under your mastery. Though I will need magical binding to serve properly. I have a suggestion for the phrasing." "Oh, I've got your phrasing, devlish b@*%~." she adds, in reference to herself. "Oh, shut up Kivler! Some of us have fought the House of Darius all our life and beyond." Once again she steels herself, "My apologies for the outbursts."
Given the way this guy came in, She will drop to one knee before him.
BTW, heads up, tomorrow is going to be a very trying day. I may not be able to post.
After washing and resting and dressing in something that's not burlap, she nods to the others, "I suppose we should see the Arch Bishop. I expect that there's a reason he chose to help our escape. I sense that a bill is coming due."
"Oh, I'll have his then." she says from her scalding hot bath. "We might as well enjoy everything before the bill comes due."
"Please accept my most sincere gratitude for your hospitality and assistance." she says with a bow. The smooth words are interrupted by a chuckle and a gruff voice, "Nice dress, hot..." which is then interrupted by her drivinge her nails into her arm. "My apologies." |
