Five Things Go Wrong, the RPG - OOC/Recruitment

[LucianDevine]

We're still here. We've been here the whole time. We were just holding back on posting out of respect for the two people who said they were going to post.

How would you want us to wrap up the scene, or did you want to do it?

 

[kizkiz]

We can wait a day to see what HotCider has to say.

 

[HotCider]

Yeah. My busy week has finally concluded for now so I'll get something going today or this weekend definitely.

 

[kizkiz]

Awesome! So I'll NPC the Captain and y'all can go with what you want to do. I say proceed as you see fit and the captain will support you.

 

[HotCider]

I'm working on a post now. Yeah, it'll be best to just move everything along. I don't know if they are going to be able to successfully stop the mercury puddle for good, but they can just retreat for now. Tot's not going to chase after The Piper because chasing an epic through the woods blindly isn't actually smart/also segregating yourself from your team.

 

[kizkiz]

Sounds good

 

[kizkiz]

Awesome post HC!

 

[MsAmative]

So with the last post, are we actually retreating?

The post with Blair and the Knight of the Vale seems to be leading us in another direction/preventing us from leaving....

Or is the Captain going to suddenly pick her up so we can get the heck out of here?

 

[kizkiz]

Since the Captain's character sheet is public in the OOC, if you need him to pull out an ability, just allude to needing him to do something related to what he can do...and he'll do it.

But yeah, the Captain can sling the Knight of the Veil over his shoulder and book it. Elites are hearty, now that her wound is attended to, she'll hold up well enough.

You can ignore Tot and press on, it's up to you.

I hate leading players with NPCs...so they tend to be a little reactionary.

 

[HotCider]

You guys are making the mercurial pool seem like an ocean, when it was a "puddle" originally. I don't know why anyone would have to ignore my character, giving a common sense suggestion, but when I wrote him running toward the group, logic dictates definitely not into the pool of mercury lol. But there clearly is no reason for them all to stay there. There isn't much else to achieve and they were on a journey to Vos any way.

 

[kizkiz]

It's not an ocean, maybe 2-3 feet donut around the group. Eager for your bodies, sure, but if you are decent at jumping or manipulating earth definitely can get over without getting eaten.

 

[HotCider]

I didn't know it formed a donut around the group. You last wrote it hitting the wall she made and that was basically it. If it had surrounded them, then I missed it. I didn't even think she made a wall surrounding the group. I thought it was just in the direction the puddle was creeping toward them.

On that note, an earth bridge or Tot could try to part the mercury while his sword is in its Blood Binge state but that could be dangerous and quite risky.

 

[kizkiz]

Yeah she made an earth-manipulation moat. All the released silver has converged on the group, threatening to spill over. It's is an Elite Hazard.

So if the 3 of you are still enjoying this thread, I'd say lets just wrap this scene up and move on to another one. We can regroup and I'll probably have the good captain wander off to help with restoring the Terminus with the Knight of the Veil. I can dust off the Healer, Tamila, and have her waiting at the Viscountess Larissa Oolong. Everyone, include Viscountess need to taste the forbidden fruits from a Sister of the Apple...

If you'd like a different setting or more traditional situations, I was toying around with a more modern setting. Urban Fantasy perhaps, where you are more Anime/Super Heroes. If you've checked out my "Demon's Punish" stories on Literotica, you can get a sense for what that setting could be like.

I choose the medieval setting because it's somewhere I wanted to flesh out for an up coming book I'm writing, but it might be too heavy. It's actually the setting I had a dream about a long time ago. I tried getting an artist friend to work with me on making it into a Manga, but she didn't make it past page 10. So I've been working my way back towards it in my writings instead.

I would rather we keep going with the setting you already have and not switch the entire genre of the story. At this point in the game, it seems moving it onto a different chapter or just moving it forward in a time skip is most effective since they're retreating any way.

I would prefer we stay with the current setting as well. Are we not having someone new come in as the healer now?

 

[kizkiz]

Stalzyn may come back, he just posted in the thread he is running, but we'll see how much time he has. Still waiting to hear back from him.

Well, do y'all want to make any more posts or shall I just end this scene and move to the next one?

I think we're ready to move on, but I can bug Lucian to post if need be.

 

[LucianDevine]

It's fine with me if you want to go ahead and wrap up the scene and move on to scene 3. I also agree that it's best to just keep going with the plot and storyline that we have now. It would all have been a waste if we went and changed everything around the characters. As far as Tamilla goes, if her writer is back, I think that's fine, but I don't think there is so pressing a need for her that we need you to npc her just yet.
