As Krokad feigns injury Yix flourishes his blade, swinging it with more anger than finesse, twirling his hand as he steps around the demon. His face scrunches in rage as she is brought up. "You manipulated them into believing they were doing good! There is evil in the heart of all men, but only if you nurture it and call it out." He twirls and cuffs Krokad across the mouth, then thrusts his sword forward almost barbarically. He looks like a master swordsman who is losing his technique through passion and anger. At every cut that gets close and gets a response from Krokad, a line of blood comes out that looks all too real. The droplets start staining the stage and Yix's face, but he almost seems to revel in his bloodlust. After a flurry of blows he springs forward and grabs Krokad by the collar. "I may fall prey to you as well..." He thrusts the sword through Krokad's chest, spraying blood out and coating the stage right wall. "...but I will be the last. Go back to the hellhole you crawled out of."
Yix comes out to auditions in another elaborate human disguise. This time he has some southern looks to him, with long, dark, combed back hair and faintly tanned skin. He has some fancy swordsman's clothing on that's as much for combat as it is for showing off. Yix watches Delgata leave the stage flourishing, a look of amusement on his face. Well it's better than being too shy. He gives some polite claps, and once everyone has settled down he steps forward, ushering Krokad with him. "My friend and I have prepared a joint performance for you, modeled after the legendary swordsman who defeated the fire demon of Akropash. We hope you enjoy." Yix ushers the other actors out of harm's way, then turns to Krokad with his head down. Suddenly his neck snaps up and he draws his longsword off handed, flipping it in the air to readjust it to his sword arm. "You are a false savior, only leeching from these people!" With a spinning flourish he lunges forward, blade flashing with a hint of magic towards Krokad. "Liar, thief, murderer!" Each word is emphasized by another swing. In his face as he fights is a desperate kind of anger, as if something was taken away from him that can't be replaced. His very heart and soul is in this fight, although if he can ever recover is in question...
Yix gives a faint smile at the patchy beard. I think the crow is trying to tell him something. He listens quietly, jumping in for a word occasionally. "If you're going to impersonate somebody it's best to get to know them first so you can better act the part. If it comes to that I'll volunteer for that task." Yix arcs a brow at the cat talk. A less even-headed catfolk would have been deeply insulted. "I look forward to urinating over your clothes."
Wow, he can teleport? "I think our best course of action for the first step would be to choose a guard, stalk him, learn about him, then impersonate him and learn about the defenses."
Yix has enjoyed the downtime and dedicated much of it to learning his teammates, the organization they're in, and the organization they're opposing. He had many late nights out scouting, and he also spent some time at the library to learn the language of fire so he could speak with Krokad. When Janiven requests an audience Yix knows the time for idle work is over.
"Ailyn, of the Pathfinder Society. Something big must be happening for your organization to be here, openly or not." "Hmm, quite a shame they were closed. We could use their influence here." "Well, all you need to rewrite history is one good lie and a river of blood. I suppose documents help." He smiles at the idea of a puzzle box. "Oh this should be fun. I, for one, am all in."
I disagree Novennia, I have had some pretty great relationships with my familiars before. It massively helps if you choose one that can talk. However I do agree that they can open up great RP opportunities. That doesn't excuse that the class is overpowered though. That sounds like a very cool idea for an eidelon. Bravo. Way of the Wicked brings out some of the best in our roleplayers. Bloodragers...ughhh. They have great potential, but simply too easy to abuse mechanically.
I will then proceed to flee, not really a fan of this AP... Bye. Well that was abrupt. I like summoners =( Everybody likes summoners conceptually. I love playing battlefield control wizards who focus in summoning, they're versatile and powerful and fun! Also, who doesn't like going god-wizard mode and feeling like a master of minions? The thing is, summoners are complicated and messy and overpowered and number heavy. They blow through challenges with ease while requiring enough math to give a college professor a headache. It's time consuming and overpowered...*cough*
1) Not a problem here, Yix is focused for that kind of stuff. 2) I haven't been along for the whole ride, but yes there were some flat areas. One trick I've found is injecting some extra stuff that's character specific (like a rival) without trying to screw up the AP. 3) Absolutely I want to continue. 4) Yeah...yeah...nobody likes summoners... 5) My current wealth (not accounting for recent loot) is 1094gp. It's all detailed out in my equipment spoiler. 6) K. 7) Combat drags. We need to find a way to keep it moving. That's not entirely your fault either, that's something we need to work on as a group. 8) I agree. This isn't Rappan Athuk where all we do is grind against the odds. There is much roleplaying to be had.
Yix drops his disguise, enjoying being in his own fur again. "A hot meal and bath will be very appreciated, thank you." Yix laughs loudly at the conspiracy idea, waving off the looks he gets. "Nothing, just reminded me of something." He chuckles as he listens to the rest of the answer. "Hmm, we all work for somebody. That's what my father used to say." Yix goes glassy eyed for a moment before snapping back. "So you know as little as we do. Well, I suppose first things first, we should take you up on the offer for rest." Yix sets off, stripping off his sweat-stained tunic. He seems distracted; uncharacteristic for him. The Council of Thieves. You've always mentioned your admiration of them. Is that what happened? You're not floating dead in a gutter somewhere, but rather you washed your hands of the darker work of our guild to pursue a seat on the Council? Yix flares his nostrils, absentmindedly eating his food as his thoughts drift back to his father...
Yix takes quick stock of the loot, scanning everything with detect magic to see if there's anything of interest . He listens to the translation of the notes, making a mental note about this 'Council'. Yix looks around the room as he thinks. Palaveen...was that one of the tieflings we fought? And this council...people who fancy themselves a lawful organization but work in the shadows are dangerous. I should know. He raps his dagger on the wall, turning with an air of finality. "I suppose we should leave before this becomes a crime scene. Does anybody else have anything they wish to do?"
Ok guys, this game is unbelievably slow moving. I was brought in and am prepared to take a leadership position out of combat and help shove things along plot wise, but there is nothing I can do to speed up combat. I'm not sure what do do about it either besides giving you guys the boot and some tough love to try and speed things up. |
