Shit. Yes, I missed it.

My illness is actually COVID, so I understand. Currently quarantined in my basement, but well enough to indulge in distractions.
Nuruk Faerjhan |
Yuck on the COVID there! Stay hydrated, warm, and medicated as best you can. I caught it and it wasn't the worst but it roughed up my girlfriend something fierce.

have fun with our wildly split party, fern :P

He decides to ask the new guy, Khalil. Using his index fingers from both his hands to simulate Willow's horns he lifts his shoulders inquisitively.
Khalil is with me and we're walking back lol
Sammy Boy |
Okayyy... XD
Let's say he... got confused? Maybe he asked any other guy with a hat, mistaking him for Khalil.
OrI don't know. This is quite embarrassing, lol. Though I'm really laughing at home :)

Me too haha! It's all good. Some random

I found this actual review on the interwebs of a peanut butter and onion sandwich:
The blanketlike richness of the peanut butter tempered the HEY-WHAT’S-UP acridity of the onion, at least to some degree. But the aftertaste, as any sane person might expect, was a hot, unenjoyable, raw-onion burn, accompanied by an unpleasant heightened awareness of one’s sinuses.
XD Love writing like that, don't know why. For certain I need to use 'hey-what's-up' as an adjective more...both upper and lower case.
Karley's spell imposed a HEY-WHAT'S-UP ensorcellment on the goblin shaman, turning his cursed bones into cotton candy

I hope it's not coming off as nagging
No worries, it's certainly not and is taken as the reminder it is meant to be. I know that without that reminder my responses as Vashrin would likely be much more sympathetic than the dickish responses Willow's curse generates.
Willow Breakbough |
I'm glad it's not annoying! It can be difficult to remember (I think) because Willow doesn't bring up concerns often because of the way people react now haha

Yeah, it's certainly one of the most (of not the most) difficult ones to remember, since it's not blatantly there. It's also not really in your hands to play it, so most of the time I guess there's nothing you can do.
Willow Breakbough |
if anyone's open to it, we can chat in here about ideas that we might have about how to go about getting the owners' attention to keep things from dragging out too long - these plans can go a long time even with irl d&d :P
Vashrin Naevirion |
Or alternatively we could try and put ourselves in Witch and Light's good graces by seeing what needs to be done like retrieving the run away kid for Dira.
Willow Breakbough |
I was thinking the same thing. Mood rod could be good especially since Karley and Willow would likely know of ways to impact it!
Willow Breakbough |
I should have refreshed before I initially posted, lol. Just saw Vash's post. I think both are good options, and I would tend towards going the good graces route - finding Star, doing something for Witch and Light. Willow's performance instructor might have a way for us to get them to notice us too?

If something major were to go down, most of the witchlight hands are at least somewhat trained in restraining folks, or even fighting. But most security is seen to buy a bugbear naked Burly. Burly's brother, Hurley, disappeared a couple years ago, though he helped with security before that. There is also a clown named Thaco (yep.) who minds the staff area.

Would it be possible to gain enough allies among the other carnival workers to convince Witch and Light to see us? This might be similar to creating a positive mood. Maybe if we can do enough to help others, then they will help us?
Willow Breakbough |
Gaining allies seems like the way to go if we're all interested in a more RP-heavy campaign as opposed to combat - stealing, etc. has a lot of ways things can go wrong (and I know several folks cited that as why they're interested).
We can ask around and see what major issues there are to tackle. Star would be a big one! Interesting that Star disappeared and Burly's brother Hurley also disappeared. Wonder if there's something to several disappearances that we could look into.
Vashrin Naevirion |
I agree with Willow. While I'm not opposed to combat, and I fully expect there to be some as some of the choices I expect we'd have to make to avoid certain combats are simply choices a number of the characters would not make.
That being said, this is one of those times we can and should roleplay vs chosing violence. (In my opinion, anyway.)
So to answer Sammy's question, go the route of Abel, even if the old White Wolf/World of Darkness player/storyteller says chose Caine. ;)

We definitely need an NPC named 'Thaco' in our lives.
Hopefully when we start probing around about problems to heroically solve we'll get more details about the pig-faced/moon-faced creatures. I can't help feel like they are a big piece of the puzzle...ostensibly responsible for all the negative things about the carnival. Have we ever asked anyone directly about them?

We haven't at all. I don't even think any of us have talked about it in character. Nuruk and Willow's bond over their shared experience is entirely unspoken!
Thac0 Bell is canon now.
Willow Breakbough |
Unless anyone has any objections, sounds like we want to go the route of garnering favor? if nothing else, we'll have tried to help folks out! lol

Hey folks! Sorry for the quietness as of late; moving and stuff has been a hassle. I had a friend just to do some chiropractic stuff and something went really wrong, so now my ribs are sharp points of pain. Sitting sucks majorly and I have to do it enough for my work.
With that being said, I'm not giving up the game. This one is far too fun and I'm enjoying it immensely. I'm about to head out on a mini-vacation this weekend so I would like to be botted for, at most, till next weekend. It'll let me heal, get all of my packing done, and I'll hopefully be healed and refreshed to come back and types lots.
I may come back earlier than next Friday if things have turned out really well. I apologize for the inconvenience but I'll be back with you all shortly :)
Willow Breakbough |
I hope things settle for you!
I've been slow in responding because I've been super busy still catching up from being out of work with covid. Things are settling out now, though!
Karley Rumblemuffin |
So, boring mechanics question, but did we decide on how to handle the auto-surge? Now that she used Tides RAW you can have me roll for surge anytime I cast a 1st+ sorc spell, and I have a compelling reason to do so (to get Tides back). I've allowed wild mages to just handle it on their next cast and it worked fine.
Vashrin Naevirion |
@DM Fern - For the damaged name plates for the unicorns, how are the legible letters arranged (i.e. Is is scratch out MS or is it M - scratch out - S, or something different?). Similar questions for the other unicorn name plates.
Vashrin Naevirion |
Just to be clear, F___ is different than the one you called as Fortune, right?
Vashrin Naevirion |
Nevermind, after reading Khalil's post it's clear. Reading comprehension is a good thing.
