I'm on holiday and on the move pretty much daily, so haven't had a chance to check the boards or post.

I have to get up early tomorrow as I'll be driving for about 5-6 hours, starting early, so I can't get a post together tonight, but I'll do my best to get something written when I have some downtime.

These are the OOC posts I would have liked to see before the holidays started.  ;)

Well, this was expected, but just how busy I was in the leadup wasn't... :(

Anyway, have posted a cool post.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

That's everyone but Danyael. I'm giving him till tomorrow night, and then I absolutely have to get a post up cause I have two conventions back to back coming up that are going to severely limit my time.

Soul Reaver has thrown Blooddrinker at the crystal pillar in the room, on the assumption that it is somehow connected to the hostile Rubric marines and may also be connected to the attacks the room is throwing at them.

Blooddrinker is a physical projectile so it could be knocked out of the air by some force (if it's very quick and accurate) but it's spinning extremely quickly end-over-end, so that force would need to come from the sides or it would simply be sliced through by Blooddrinker, likely without stopping.

If Blooddrinker hits, it will cause damage to the pillar and start draining away the energies flowing over/through it to disrupt them.

Well, shit.

I made my post without an accompanying OOC post because I was making it from work and only had time to throw up the finished post before I had to leave, and really wasn't expecting anyone to reply before I got home. Oops. :p

Anyway, you'll notice that I didn't really address everyone's actions in my last post. For the most part, you guys were all fighting (and slightly god-modding) the Rubric Marines, so I didn't bother elaborating on those attacks. Your explanation of what they did was good enough. I did respond directly to Jharm and Soul Reaver's attempt to absorb or destroy the souls, since that directly affected my post.

Soul Reaver... you may have just gotten yourself stuck in a sticky situation, depending on how I decide to handle what you just did. As I described in my post before this one, that crystal pillar is what all that warp energy that's coursing through the Spire is contained in. Shattering it, or even cracking it, could have dire consequences. I was going to mention that in my OOC, but you kind of beat me to posting it. I'll leave it up to you, cause I do have some interesting ideas that are forming already, but if you feel that Soul Reaver didn't mean to act that reckless, I'm fine with you editing.I just want  to make sure you have the option.

I god-modded Danyael by having him not take any action just yet. Danyael, that still leaves you just outside of the Spire and safe from any attacks at the moment, so it should be pretty easy for you to catch up.

I'm leaving tomorrow for MAGFest and then AGDQ. I can't guarantee that I'll have time to post before January 16th, though I will try to work on something earlier next week if everyone's replied by then. If you have any questions, try to get them to me before tomorrow night.

Oh, sorry I had assumed that we had some liberty to kill off a Rubric Marine or two based on an earlier post of yours.

I can edit my post to stop with the god modding of Rubric Marines, if needed.

You did. No need to edit, and God modding them is still fine. I was just making sure that no one thought I was ignoring their posts.

I'm a bit torn on this one.  I actually wanted to PM you and ask if Soul Reaver would be able to sense anything about the pillar, but then thought it would take too much back and forth before I got to post.

As tempted as I am to let the chips fall as they may, I'll edit the post slightly, suggesting that Soul Reaver is able to sense the amount of energy in the pillar and think better of messing with it.

I'll have some sense of a post up by tonight, weather permitting. Still at work.

Didn't want to inconvenience anyone, so I'm hoping it didn't look like I was god-modding the marines or the companions. To explain, the 'slow motion' is perceived only be Danyael on account of his speed, which is one of his trademark abilities. The actual attack is as follows: he punches, but at the same time, his echoes expand from him with the same action - intent on maximizing the effect of the punch. By way of speed, he spreads his echoes from his own point of origin, performing the same attack at multiple points throughout the chamber. He is not, however, attacking all of the marines. Many. But not all. I looked over the rules and I don't think this violates any, but if it does and I've missed something, I'm not interested in debating or grandstanding. I'll just edit it.

Just need to announce to everyone that I'm going overseas to Central America starting tomorrow.  As I'll be on the move without a laptop, my chances to post will be few and far inbetween.  I'll be back in early February.

If my character ends up holding things up Cameron has my permission to God mod Soul Reaver at his discretion, though I'm hoping it won't be necessary.
