"Do you think it's another ghost this time?" Selena asks, following the others to the second floor "It's weird that it could do stuff this far from here, if that was the case."

"That sounds like a good plan!" Selena nods, picking up her luggages "Soon as I get my stuff from the boat, then head for Azerna myself."
"Hi there!" Selena runs after Aibek, waving with a smile at the smaller, younger Foxy, adding to the list of weird people that approached the young Kitsune just as she stepped into the city.
Yuss,money! Azri, would it be okay for you to craft Selena a Belt of Anaconda's coils? Maybe I have something else to buy, but I still have to think about it: I mostly want to get the belt out of the way before the next level up.
Selena leans over the edge of the ship, looking at Khalarum approaching as the sun dips below the horizon. Unlike most of the others, she had not come back to the city in the last three months: smiling at the sight of the scaffolding around the towers and the new houses along the coast, the half-succubus sits on one of her luggages, gazing at the horizon.
As they draw closer to the port, Selena starts waving energetically at Ayreth and Redemption. "" she shouts, picking up a couple of her luggages and flying over the dock before the ship finished landing.
I was thinking more swinging people around by their feet with the bloodvine rope: it also makes sense with how everyone ends up prone after I pin them, too.
The rumor about a new village is on another one of the islands, yes? Regarding building, I agree with the granary and the walls: not dying of starvation or Gnoll-stabbing sounds good. On the other hand, I'm not sure about more housing: if I understood correctly, the population goes up only when we build more, no? Raising it so much this early doesn't sound that good, and having a bunch of empty houses isn't going to help.
Also, a couple of questions for Jon:
I have odd strenght, so I was planning to put my 8th level point into that. Luckily Jon said that Wisdom is okay too for Diplomacy, so yay!
Hey, Selena's been preparing herself for the position in these three months! ...By studying under mostly Calistrian teachers. Shoot.For the master of coins, we could put someone as placeholder there for now and then substitute him with someone more apt, like one of Mihara's relatives or Selena's Abadaran acquaintances once the times comes. And It's a bit embarrassing that Selena doesn't reach the +4 threshold for the first Diplomat bonus. :/
Aaaaargh, with borked updates and me not checking the last few days, I've missed a lot of stuff. D: For building stuff, I agree with Aibek's plan: maybe once we're done with building houses this month, we could start with some more markets. I'm eying Diplomat out of the leadership positions: as for their bonuses, I've had a couple of ideas. -More than happiness, I think the Advocate should have some kind of effect based on how many citizens Khalarum has. The more people there are, the more is important to have someone that listens to people to make sure they aren't pulling in half a different directions. -The Master of Coin may help reduce upkeep costs like Mihara said, and we could roll the cost/manpower reduction of building on the Architect. -The High Priest looks like a more focused version of the Advocate: are we sure we need that? The Magister, too, looks like something that we'll need further down the road more than anything else.
"Let's go." Selena nods to Redemption and Ayreth.
Eh, I think that we can wait to settle on holidays and such: let's first think about putting roofs on our head and such. :P Speaking of which, I think that we could start by upgrading the poor housings for now, to remove the malus to stability: we could look at upgrading the ruins we already have, then, maybe starting from the walls. Making another Market or two looks like a good idea, too.
Hah. XD I'm in the middle of that right now. ...Literally right now. As I write this. Finished the game's True Ending yesterday. Man, that was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen. Definitely an outstanding game, even if I have still to find an explanation for most of the Drakengard connections: alas, I fear those will be explained in supplemental material, like Grimoire Noire for the first game.
Yeah, I'm up for an IC council, and to meet up before that: over at the docks sounds like a good idea.
*Raises hand* I'm inn the NieR:Automata hole, myself: it's soul-crushing over here. I love it.
"Yeah, let's hope that this will be enough to find out what happened and who did this." Selena nods.
"So Grampa may have just...got out by himself and left?" Selena asks puzzled. "But if he's...still himself, and picked up his weapons and armor, why didn't he search for Grimrod, or us, or anyone else if he had something to do?"
"Yeah, let's take a sample and find someone to-Sis?" Selena springs up, running to Ayreth and crouching next to her. "Is everything okay? Are you hurt?"
Happy to hear that you're a bit better Jon. :D As for rumors, I'll have to think a bit about it, but some would be probably on how Selena doesn't really look like the part of someone that could run a city: she's been passing most of the last three months studying to be a diplomat in Absalom, but not being around much in the city won't help quell the rumors much, I think.
"Yes, let's." Selena nods. "I really don't know where to start, tough. The only thing I've noticed is this drop of blood here." the half-succubus points to the blood on the trap near the sarcophagus.
"Well, yes, but not for this long, usually. " Selena tilts her head, biting her lip "But if you say there's no danger and we should wait out, let's do that."
Sorry if I've been a bit absent the last days, lessons started again. Should be back to usual posting from now. @Azri: That Red Jester template is horrifying.
Selena quietly waits for Ayreth to start the divination, but grows increasingly nervous as her sister cries and then her eyes go blank. "Sis? Sis!" Selena asks, a bit panicked, before turning to Redemption "Is this normal?"
"Hhhmmm..." Selena crouches to the ground to examine the shards of glass and the area around the sarcophagus.
"I hope that wasn't the case..." Selena bites her lip at Ayreth's question "Maybe they teleported in there and then broke out?"
"Certain defenses?" Selena asks, following Redemption and Ayreth into the tomb. "Oh, as a kid I never even thought he would lie to me!" Selena laughs with Ayreth as they walk trough Zhen's tomb. "Grampa really did a lot of stuff in his life, eh?" the succubus smiles melancholic, looking at the tales of his grandfather's life.
Website's looking good! And I think Spheres of Power are neat enough, too, but I'm not too convinced with what I've seen of Spheres of Might until now: I haven't seen much out of combat utility, and I wish the talents would scale more and be less "to impale good, pick these 3-4 talents". :/ Path of War has been working well enough for me at least when it comes to martials(After axing Broken Blade and Primal Fury, that is :P).
Selena squeezes Ayreth's hand in return, looking at the great granite tomb.
I'll try to find a reason to get Aibek's chibi-wolf with goggles version up as well :D And the rules looks neat, Jon! I'll give them a better read later: the first part of the text looks weird to me, tough, both on phone and on PC. Strange. As for items, I don't think I really need anything from what we have.
(...)and Selena will go to Absoalom (would you like that as a story or a RP?) (...) I'm leaning toward RP, but I'll think about it.
Damn, that's terrible. Take all the time you need. :(
Selena will definitely want to join Ayreth for TSI, first.
@Crafting: I'd really like the Anaconda's Coils belt, but I don't have the cash for even half of that for crafting, I'm afraid. :/
Aw crap. I've seen enough Evil Necromancers to know where this is going... End of Part One "Due to budget constraints, Part Two will be animated by Studio DEEN."
No problems, I was mostly joking. :P
Ooooh, cool! What should the one paragraph summary look like? Also, I'm still thinking about it, but I have an idea for what Selena will plan on doing during the IC break.
That image doesn't look NSFW at all. :P @Nigrum: For character images, you could look into the endless abyss that is this drive.
So, I've looked over the old posts and this is what I got:
That's it in broad strokes. I still have to visualize what's where, but I think that 3 of the islands are currently relatively clear (Starting Island, Thirsty Dryad/Pump Island, Industrial/Arsenal island).
"Yeah, the more stone there's between us and Okeno, the better. We don't want it to end up like one week ago."
I'm fairly sure we managed to harvest its hide, and we made jokes about basilisk skin bikinis turning people to stone. Maybe we did something with it, tough...I'll look for it.
"I don't think the coins are infected, like Aibek said, but some of the spores or something may be on them." Selena crosses her arms "I think I could carry some of that by myself, but going back and forth several times doesn't sound very practical. Oh, and I'm all for using the money: we need the cash, and it's not like tossing it into the sea or something will do anyone any good."
"Should we do the same for what's left of the others, or do you think there's a cure?" Selena clicks her tongue "Doesn't look like it. Should we open those crates?"
"Let's see if we can find out exactly what happened here." Selena says, walking to the corpse and gently prying the red journal from it's hands.
Hey, I'm wearing that shirt they gave me!
"Looks like it, Foxy." Selena clicks her tongue, moving forward to restrain one of the creature that were still unharmed. Mechanics:
"Let's see of we can just shove them away from the door and open it." Selena comments, cautiously moving toward the metal door.
...can I come to your house, Selena? That sounds delicious. Eh, we finished it just after I posted the message: the bream and shrimps one really was de- Rant out of nowhere and following posts Uh.....uh?
Serena follows after the others in the captain's cabin,keeping her guard up in case the vines tried anything funny.
Happy Holidays! No turkey, but I've eaten three different types of lasagna in the last 24 hours, and we've got leftovers. D:
Selena stays silent by the others, letting Aibek and Mihara talk.
I have to think about the side-story, but I had mentioned that Selena could pick up someone up from the brothel at Absalom and train them: as Calistrian, they probably already are good enough in espionage or so, gotta work on those punches tough. :D
Obsidian Portal is very good for that: unless you already use it and already have a campaign, it's free, too. I didn't have much problems setting a campaign wiki I did, and the storage space they give you for free is plenty enough to post character images and maps. And yeah, I tough this was a beach episode since the start!
"I think we should ask the captain: it may be dangerous, best to have people that can take care of themselves with us."
Take all the time you need, Jon. :(
Selena takes a deep breath and sighs happily when the city reappears once again on Stonespine Island: staying there on Elysium gave her a slight sense of unease...
