Title: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Cameron on August 14, 2013, 10:51:17 AM
Continuing from this thread: http://nerdramblingz.com/starforums/index.php?topic=175.0

Here is the last post from the previous thread:

Field Mouse Sembas Filden was great fun to write. 

Everyone is doing a great job!  I find myself checking the boards multiple times per day hoping there are updates. 

And with Shadowhaunt still going strong the boards are threatening to take over my entire day lol.

Proceed.

I will be adding to the character sheets for Corvus and Blood this week by including some of the attributes you've uncovered through combat and interactions with them. Sparring with the NPCs is always kind of neat because it allows me to show you some of the Legendary Attributes you will eventually have access to.

Figure it's too hindering to substitute the words he or she, and I figure saying "it" would miscommunicate the writing as Fjorin thinking Lai as a tool, so I'm just going to refer to Lai in whatever current form he/she's in. XD

That's my thinking, too. As a spirit, Lai doesn't really have a gender.

Oooh man I had so much fun writing that post. I tried to inject a bit of John Milton's style inside because I'm reading 'Paradise Lost' along the way.

I might not be able to post this weekend. I have an orientation camp to go to so that I can get to know people and make contacts and expand my network and whatever this thing called 'social interaction' needs. I'll see if the internet off my 5 year old phone can do it for me.

Last call for wrapping up your scenes. I will let everyone respond, then I'll resolve everything in the next post before moving on to the next day. Fjorin and Siron will be invited into the Bulwark, and after a brief time skip, we'll be sending you out on your next mission.

Because you're all such awesome players, time for presents! As mentioned before, interactions with NPCs and uncovering plot points can warrant new attributes or abilities.

@Sembas: The book Merchant has given you contains two new Wisdom-based spells.

@Fenwick: All that time spent in the library and conversing with Cleo has earned you Intelligence: Spellcasting as an attribute. You may give yourself two new damage-dealing spells.

@Siron: Through sparring with Corvus, you may grant yourself Dexterity: Dodge

@Fjorin: Getting chummy with Lai and letting him channel his powers through your movements has given you Dexterity: Dodge.

@Sig: Hanging out with Miss Moody (a.k.a Blood) and your uncanny ability to talk her into sensibility from time to time has given you Charisma: Intimidation/Persuasion

Please edit your characters sheets to reflect these new developments.

Post by: Faidth on August 30, 2013, 01:24:25 PM
Whew! Another long one! I need the formal "yay" or "nay" on the Bulwark offer from Fjorin and Siron. Once we tend to that, the rest of the party will be allowed into the office and you will all receive orders for a new mission. Once you get your orders, you will have the opportunity for any last minute business in Avalon before departing for an extended journey. You'll likely be away for a few weeks in game, so if there is anything you need to do in town, do so then.

@Kitharsis: I have not forgotten about Faile's nest. After the mission orders, you will have the opportunity to acquire the falcon form from Dennan before you leave on the next mission. It would certainly be helpful to have another airborn scout because Besnik and Archer will not be accompanying the party on this mission. I can assure you both Faile and you will return in time for the birth of her hatchlings. I wouldn't want her to be a deadbeat mom. :P

@Kith & Radobe: Thank you very much! I am really happy to hear that everyone is enjoying it so far! Players like all of you make it easy to write good posts. You give me so much to work with! I like to make sure that all of the players involved get the opportunity to develop their characters. I think it makes the story more interesting that way. Plot is all well and good, but as I tell my students, characters should always be the driving force in any narrative.

Agreed with the prior comments!  Can't wait to post Fjorin's reactions to this one. :P

@Archdemon Stu: Thanks. ;)  I'm looking forward to hearing Fjorin weigh in, too!

Lai has been an interesting NPC to write for. I had not planned to have the spirit be nearly so integral, but she has such great chemistry with Fjorin that it was pretty neat to develop the Carnis as sympathetic entities. Originally, I had intended for her to be more of a male-gendered spirit, but I actually like the character more as female. I think she displays equal parts badass and vulnerable. The good news is despite the fact Lai has a physical form, she will not lose her abilities. Instead, they will be converted to Wisdom-based spells.
Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Archdemon Stu on August 30, 2013, 09:41:43 PM
Haha, developments lately have been keeping me surprised, that's for sure.  From exploding people to docile and peaceful, the forms (from Bjornfir to her current form), information on the Forsaken and the Lady of Shadows, prophecies of Fjorin, the past of the Carnis... just awesome.

Seriously we all just need to get in a Skype call and talk characters across the board one of these days.  I love the twists and turns some of them take and sometimes I just wanna' gush at people.  It's like playing Mass Effect all the way through and having no one to talk to about it.

EDIT: Also, will be posting for this and Epic BB tonight.

EDIT of EDIT: And good news about Lai keeping the powers!  They shall be mine... one day... *scheme*

EDIT of EDIT of EDIT: Something came up, won't be able to post tonight, but I'll be scheming so that Sunday I'll be able to slap it right up!

I'll have the next plot post up for you tomorrow. New orders and last minute business in Avalon before departing on the next leg of our journey. BTW, I have something particularly awesome planned for the month of October. I am not one to get into real-life themes in Board Battles, but let's just say the Immortalis have a holiday that is very similar to Halloween. I promise it won't be cheesy. :)

If you would like any further clarification about the mission, or anything that was mentioned regarding the two places you will visit (i.e. the Sanguine Fields and the Marrow) feel free to ask. So far, anyone in the party that wants to attend will be accompanied by Corvus, Dennan, Blood, and Lai.

You would be shocked by the amount of unresolved plot points are dangling out there. For example, no one has yet asked why Dethys's wife is ill when Immortalis can't get sick. Or how Jonas's empathy curse works. Or about Corvus's late night wanderings. Or for that matter, what is taking the Archon so long to return to Avalon. Or why Dennan and Corvus don't have death wounds!

Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Faidth on September 11, 2013, 06:20:35 PM
That's my hope. ;)  So far, you gentleman have been doing a great job of exploring the tip of the iceberg, but there's a whole lot of mess going on beneath the surface. I've been attempting to let clues slip here and there, but now I am trying the frying pan to the face approach.

The general obliviousness has actually been quite humorous. At one point, Depheir even noticed Caerina (Dethys's wife) was ill, and he said something to the effect of, "The lady coughs, but that is none of Depheir's concern." :P

Another thing the party might want to research is a little more on Death Wounds. Fenwick uncovered Cleo's, and Blood and Fury's are relatively obvious, but no one has gotten into some of the other major players: Hestia, Dethys, Muse, Honor, the Archon, and especially Archer. Her story is particularly interesting. Some of you frequent visitors of the library are going to start to stumble upon a lot more background information on Avalon and its inhabitants.
Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Archdemon Stu on September 11, 2013, 06:50:12 PM
Actually before they leave on their journey, I was going to have Fjorin research known death wounds to prepare for battle if there's some solid in-between time.  If there was a formal list of foes' death wounds, I was hoping to reveal a certain illiteracy problem he might have... XD

It'd be silly to have a slayer such as himself not wanting to know the death wounds of his enemies!  Maybe he'll accidentally stumble across a few more along the way?

I am particularly embarrassed that I haven't delved deeper into Archer and Dennan's backstories. 

Being the stubborn mule that I am, upon having this pointed out I immediately decided never to bring it up for the principle of the matter.  I will try and resist my mule-ish side for the sake of wanting to know the stories.

Post by: Faidth on September 12, 2013, 12:16:19 PM
I really enjoy Archer's story because so much of her death directly relates to her previous relationship with Aras. Their entire relationship was a product of such dysfunction. :/

Urgh Faidth, you're evil. Develop Fenwick's backstory, or keep holding him back as previously planned.

Devious, but so delicious. I'll take the bait for now :)

I do apologise for not posting a bit more. I'm leaving for university in 2 days (!!) time and there's been a lot of meeting up with friends and just...sitting around feeling surreal. I understand that I still have my spells to update. Mind if I keep that on hold a bit longer while I think of something? :S

P.S. I noticed something in the thread itself. Did you place an extra '0' behind Fury's '1,5000 years' of walking the earth by accident?

Before leaving Siron will ask Corvus to come with him and go to the barracks to retrieve the rest of his gears and tell Honor what is going down. If he agrees Siron will take the opportunity to ask the Ageless about what he heard from Fury. The fact that he has been granted his immortality without dying and doesn't have a death wound.

You mean like it isn't split in the epic?  :P

Do all the top dogs of the Forsaken come from Avalon? Seriously, they are doing something wrong if every one leaves and goes to the Forsaken.
Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Faidth on September 14, 2013, 02:31:59 AM
The irony is Cameron is an enormous proponent of "never split the party" in roleplaying games. In one D&D game we played, his character separated from the party, was set upon by brownies (the creatures, not the delicious food) and they basically tortured him and tattooed smiley faces on his butt out of pure spite.

I am not sure how far back you read in the archives, but there was basically a schism within the Ageless many years ago. The Adversary has pretty much been around since the beginning of creation, but the Forsaken have only existed for about 700 years or so. Severan is their founder. It was prophesied one of the Ageless would betray his kin. Everyone knew Severan was fated to do it, but the Archon was convinced he could be redeemed. Many of the other Elders did not share the Archon's belief and were actually rather cruel to Severan. They ignored him like the plague for fear of what he might do. It was exactly that mistrust that drove him to accept the offer of the Adversary. He slew the Elder Council (save for a few,) effectively killed the Archon a second time (that's when Fury fought off the Valkyries that came to claim him,) and set out on his own. Fortuna you will get a significant amount more background on, but at the time of the schism, she was Dethys's apprentice. She always carried a torch for Severan, and when he left, she went with him. Severan has been bolstering his ranks through the help of the Adversary, and by attempting to intercept Childer Immortalis who are ignorant of his true intent.

A great source of information is really Jonas Philosophy. As a reformed Forsaken (the only known Immortalis on record to have denounced the Forsaken and rejoined the Ageless,) he knows a great deal about their society and specific key figures.

It's interesting because the party is simultaneously researching how to either destroy the Forsaken or attempt to redeem them.

I should have response posts up for everyone by Friday. I'll try to get some done tomorrow if I can. :)

@Siron: Choose wisely. You get your choice of one mace, one shield, and one set of armor. Whatever you choose will have the effects mentioned in the post. Let me know in character which Siron chooses, and then I will have you add it to your character sheet.

@john_greymore: I will have a post for Fenwick tomorrow. The next scene will involve Fenwick speaking with Dethys.

Kith, I know Sembas wants to learn falcon form, so whenever you are ready, send him to Dennan. He'll give you the form and you can pop in on Faile's nest while you are there.

Radobe, if Siron still wants to question Corvus, you may have him do so after speaking with Smith. Once you have selected your armor and weapons, you may say that you and Corvus leave the shop. At that point, ask him anything you want


*Note: Fenwick and Sembas should be sure to say a proper goodbye to their leading ladies. I will be upgrading your relationship status to Level 3, so each of you will get an additional benefit from your respective significant others.



Conclude any final business in Avalon. Once we have addressed everything listed above, you will be departing for the Sanguine Fields.

I'll have a post up on the morrow!  Want to make sure I post sober.

Fjorin is moving on from that area assuming he isn't going to be able to learn to read right away.  I never know with Immortalis magic though. XD

When I get home today, I will have reply posts for Sig and Kitharsis. John_greymore and Kitharsis, be sure to tell me in OOC if you are visiting your ladies before departing because it will determine whether or not you increase your romance rating (and receive the gift that comes with it.) Tomorrow I will be moving you on to the sanguine fields. Be sure to review your character sheets because there will be combat very early on.

I am not going to send you to Smith, but don't worry... I have something cool planned for you before your departure. I can't recall, does Fjorin wear armor? If not, I have a unique item planned. If so, let me know what kind.

Haha, alright sounds awesome.  He actually does wear armor!

These are probably the closest thing I've found to what he typically wears.  He does not yet have a helmet, but if he did get one, it would have to allow him complete freedom of sight and movement. :)

Post by: Faidth on October 04, 2013, 06:34:28 PM
@Archdemon Stu: Thanks! The visual references are quite helpful. I figured he would not be one to weigh himself down with something like plate armor. I just wanted to have a clearer idea of what he might wear before he gets his boons.

@Kitharsis: As you have already acquired the Wisdom-Shapeshifting skill, as a romance benefit from Archer, you will receive Wisdom-Tracking. This will be very advantageous to you in the Sanguine Fields. Please update your character sheet to reflect this new skill.

Wisdom- Tracking
Next to nothing will escape the notice of an experienced tracker. The smallest clues such as a broken twig, a berry prematurely knocked from a bush, or a single hair upon the ground can easily be recognized by a veteran tracker. In addition, those with Wisdom-Tracking are exceptionally adept at masking the tracks of themselves and their companions. As a benefit of Wisdom-Tracking, you gain an ability called Conceal, which allows you to deftly obscure any tracks you may leave in your wake. Only a tracker of equal skill would be able to discern your movements.


If you have any last minute business to tend to, this is the last call for new posts. I will likely be indisposed this weekend, so I intend on putting up our next plot post on Monday. During said post, Fjorin will receive his Bulwark sign-on bonus and the party will be sent on its merry way to the Sanguine Fields.

@john_greymore: Not a problem. Can you give me some specifics for what you want to know from Dethys? In age, only the Archon and Fury precede him, so he has a lot of experience to pull from.
Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: john greymore on October 05, 2013, 10:44:15 AM
Considering the circumstances, perhaps how he's dealt with all the dying (word's starting to sound weird) and the negative experiences. Then I can get Fenwick to ignore (or follow) all his advise :D

Or maybe who he's lost and how he can keep up with his attitude. It'd be interesting to see what makes him tick.

Do I need to edit my post for this?

If you can have another post up, or just edit your current one by 3:30 today you can do that. You have my permission to say goodbye to Calming and send you and Blood to either her house or the tavern to chat. I will resolve whatever you decide to ask her before I put up the plot post today.

So, I was hoping to get a bit further today, but my "herding cats" post took me longer to write than expected. It's always kind of tricky when everyone in the party is in a different place. At this point, everyone is heading to the gates, and my next post will detail your departure to the fields. I will likely have the next plot post up by Friday as tomorrow I will likely be indisposed. So, if there is anything you would like to react to, feel free to do so until Friday.

Combat time! I tried to start you off with a fairly easy enemy to get you back into the swing of things. :)  There are about two dozen enemies. The better the description of your attack, the better the results will likely be. If you are using any abilities or doing anything that encompasses an attribute, remember to cite it.
Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Archdemon Stu on October 15, 2013, 04:29:36 PM
So I know we can only take one action at a time, but are STR and CON attributes passive?  So say if I get stabbed at some point, would "Soak" automatically come into effect, or would I have to announce it and it takes up my turn?
Title: Re: The Legion Immortalis (The Bulwark of Heaven)- OOC Thread 4
Post by: Faidth on October 15, 2013, 05:50:57 PM
Con is passive, as is strength. However, if you are keying on strength for your attack mention it. Ex. Fjorin's exceptional strength allows him to effortlessly lift a large boulder in the air. He promptly uses it in an attempt to crush his enemies.

In the same token, while Dex is passive, it's good to mention it if you are trying to evade a blow etc. One action a turn is your actual attack or dodge. You don't need to use your turn to power up and activate attributes.

Guys,

I'm really sorry for not keeping up and posting. I'm dedicating my time to lots of activities here in uni and spending free time roaming around.

It's unfair if I slow the battle down as people wait for me to post, especially Faidth.

So I'll be going on hiatus from the boards for a while till the speed at which life and internet RPing can sync up.

Looking forward to seeing all of you soon as Fenwick!

I definitely think you nailed the character concept! I can't wait until Blood (likely begrudgingly) learns to like him. I think the reason his idealism frustrates her so much is, believe it or not, though she was always rather grim, she sees a bit of herself in his unrelenting optimism.

Now that I think about it, immortals can only be killed by other immortals right? Was Aeliana an immortal before the fight with the forsaken? She did kill one of them.

I do love me some sympathetic villains... and the complications they cause. Gray is always so much more interesting than black or white. ;)

I have to say, having Sembas all hazy and confused from the whispering in his head was good cover for me being gone for a while.

I'm sorry if I threw off any plot mechanisms that you were planning.  It looks like things went swimmingly in my absence anyway.

I feel like I need to sit down for a spell after reading the introduction of Aeliana and The Punisher.  My word.

That's kind of what I thought, too. Rather than trying to god-mod Sembas, I thought it would just be better to have him lost in thought. You've, understandably, been busy. I figured his confusion would suffice fine until you got back. ;)

Sig and Sembas, you have the jump on Ravana and Navar Coward respectively. They weren't expecting a party of Ageless to erupt through the ground, so you get to attack before they do.

Siron and Fjorin, you have the Childer Immortalis to contend with.

Aeliana, you have a decision to make. Your next action will determine whether Azazel Punisher lives or dies. You may get the hell out of Dodge (since Fortuna is indisposed, you can make a break for the door and ensure your freedom) or, you may opt to assist Punisher who aided in your release.
