Wiwaxia runs a SBURB D&D(ish) game - logdump/spectating/popcorn thread!

Wiwaxia · Oct 21, 2016

So I'd love for people who aren't playing my SBURB game to be able to see what we've been up to and follow along, but since roll20 doesn't allow easy spectating, i'm just gonna dump everything here after the fact.

Logs are unedited and include side-chatter and dice rolling.
I'm going to spoiler each section of the logs with a brief summary at the top. Trigger warnings will go there too if they come up.

If non-players want to discuss or draw fanart or anything, do that in this thread too!

DRAMATIS PERSONAE

THE LANDS (in entry order)
(these descriptions were all written by a super talented rl friend of mine)

There’s light, but only a little of it. It may be better in fact if here were no light about all, because without the light there would be no shadows.

But without the tiny lick of light from each candle, the shapes casting the shadows would be invisible. The things that cast the twisting, sharp-edged shadows would still be there, but unseen and waiting to entangle the unaware.

This land is dangerous. Too dangerous to forgo a light and escape the shadows. The ground is cracked and crevasse, a wounded landscape of deep red rocks.

Everything is still, you tell yourself. Nothing out there is moving, no matter how much the—what was that? No. Nothing is moving. It is just the unreliability of flame. Only the light source has flickered. The pointed shapes, all dark and angled, are stationary. Only the shadows move with the light. You can believe that. You tell yourself that nothing is coming to get you. You have a harder time believing that.

At least it’s warm. If you were somewhere else, the temperature would relax you, loosening your shoulders as you stretch out under the sun, or by the fireplace. Here, the warmth comes from the ground. The deep red—no, admit it. The blood red stone radiates heat as if, as if it were alive. You expected it to give when you touched it. For it to be sticky and smell metallic and all too human. It felt like smooth warm rock, with a bit of sand on it. All that stuff about it being alive? Ptffff, you didn’t really think that. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

You have the urge to turn on all the lights in your house, but they all stopped working when you entered. Only the glow of your computer screen remains; so you suppress that urge. Instead, you pick up a candle, and light it. It’s time to go.

Welcome, Rogue of Hope.

You enter, and the air changes. It's cool now, a bit damp. The kind of chill that would promise a hot day ahead, if Sburb made or kept any promises. No, there are no days or nights here, only counted hours under an eternal sunrise.
The sky, decked in pale orange and pink with wisps of clouds catching purple was reflected in the still water.
There is water everywhere. A delicate lace mist hovers just above the surface, a moment away from dissipating. Yet it remains, framing concrete pilings and sinking ruins that are the only things that emerge from the water's surface. Once, there was a flood, and what had been before is now hidden by the stilled waters. What there was, before only a great, twisting highway became the only thing visible, is smashed or waterlogged.
The water had not always been still. Once, it was a tumult. Rushing, it sprayed cold droplets as it lept. It dashed buildings to pieces, hiding the past. It had been the definition of sublimity: beautiful and terrifying.
Now, in this false morning, it rests.
Welcome, Seer of Time

The land is as if someone had finally admitted defeat against their mother and grumpily made their bed by bunching up all the blankets and then laying a quilt on top and then began the hopeless business of trying to make it flat. Not to say that the land is defeated, grumpy, or hopeless, but rather that it is very much like lumpy quilt.
Patchwork hills in innumerable colors roll out in roll out in front of you. The ground is a soft but comact sod, springy and plush with life. Your own house sits, mysteriously transported, in the middle of a field of royal blue flowers.
Golden afternoon light streams down from the blue sky. A nice, normally colored sky, although it lacks a sun. The whole land seems perfectly lovely, with the warmth and the gentle buzzing of the bees. It feels homelike, and then a bell tolls.
Not that the sound of a ringing bell would be a problem, of course. The presence of bells spotting the land changes nothing about how beautiful and amazingly bed-like the land looks. In fact, it means it's exactly like home. Exactly. Like. Home.
Yup!
The blue flowers hang from their stems. Their petals are fused and fold down so that they too resemble bells. But when a breeze causes them to sway or a bee alights and shakes the plant in search of nectar, they do no ring.
Welcome, Page of Heart

In front of you, above you, and all around you, everything was grey. Grey and brown in uncountable textures. The sky was covered in clouds heavy with rain, but bright from a light that shined behind them. The air was hot and dry; it was waiting for something. The whole land was hot and dry and waiting.

The ground was dust. Brown earth dried to grey, it’s last color taken away by the light that filtered down. Coated in the dust, even the colorful, dehydrated frogs abandoned their hue.

This land wasn’t always dry like this, it’s easy to tell. Everywhere, there were twisted trees, stunted with their bark peeling. Browned creepers and vines crumbled. As you watched, a breeze pulled one of the few remaining leaves on a tree near you away. It floated for a moment, then dove down into a swirl of dust. It looked like a miniature tornado—a dust-devil, you remembered the name suddenly.

Already you felt thirsty. Soon, your lips would dry out, cracking like the ground. Your skin would grow rough like the knurled and bleached trees. You could feel that if you got lost in this hostile world you too would dry out and become one of the frogs.

This land seemed so empty, so dead, so hostile, but with the next slow, hot breeze, you smelt something different. You couldn’t quite name what it was, but in that moment you knew it to be the smell of freedom.

Welcome, Knight of Space.

All the colors that shine through in an oil spill, or on the back of a CD
When you tip it just so,
Muted to be cousins of chrome by the grey light.
They form
Stepped mountains that poke their heads above the clouds.
You are above the clouds

On a rainbow ziggurat you find yourself,
Breath stolen from your lungs by the
Grandeur
Strangeness
Noise.
Breathe in the sounds of the storm that rolls beneath your feet.
Lightning arcs between clouds and thunder booms at the same moment.
Ringing.
And when your ears ring less you can hear the rain again,
Rushing beneath you,
Pouring down the twisting stairs and
Pooling
As the irregular steps change to form geometric basins.
But for all the geometry we hold as human,
Bismuth crystals grow.

Bismuth crystals twist,
They form stairways that lead in all directions.
They are indiscriminate
They have love affairs with all sorts of angles until
Their shapes coalesce into tiered mountain ranges that are nothing but islands surrounded by storms.

The clouds roll.
They move like waves,
Not driven by wind but by some need for undulation,
Shifting forwards and back.
Crashing with a welcome silence against the cliff,
Spraying tendrils of mist
Up
Up to where you are now.
They do not reach all the way to you, but you follow their path.

Look up, hero.
The sky is only void.
There are four planets now, orbiting the
Source of all creation,
The home of the battlefield.
A dark planet,
One of many colors,
One that glints of water,
One of few colors,
And now you are with them.

Welcome, Mage of Breath

The sound. Like the ocean. No, the ocean crashes and if you get close to it the water gurgles and the foam hisses and pops. Like the wind then, not when it howls but when it’s a susurrus. When the wind moves through the grass, causing the stalks to rattle and hit each other. Like that, yes, but more human, and still completely inhuman. That was the sound. An endless rise and fall of whispered voices traveling incomprehensibly through wires.

The messages came from places unknown, and travel onwards to destinations unknown. Or perhaps they have always been there, and always will be. It is entirely possible that they are meaningless murmurs of no origin and no purpose. It is also possible that the sounds of this land will be the most important thing in your life. What they are, to you, is currently unknowable.

But what is known is how the whispers travel. This land is forested, but with strange trees. Great trunks of telephone poles with criss-crossing canopies of wires. As you approach these “leaves”—or should you call them “branches”?—the voices get louder, clearer, but not clear enough to be understood.

Perhaps it’s just an optical illusion, but these forests do not seem to be lit from above. The sky is dark, pure midnight blue uninterrupted by clouds or stars. Instead, the light seems to come from the ground. A gentle blue luminescence.

A river flows silently; it’s waters dark—darker than the sky. It empties into a sea, just as dark and just as silent. Your own breathing is too loud, your pulse out of place. But there is no ringing in your ears, only mysterious voices.

Welcome, Witch of Void.

Wiwaxia (GM): mmmmm
Vloz and Kyorl, I think
odd pair, but
Karrin Blue: (awesome shadowpowers, one of the few good moms in the setting, and they're nice to the drideres)
hehe yeah
Wiwaxia (GM): although they're both kinda going down the shitter currently
Karrin Blue: nah i think the vloz are going down the giant volcanic vent right about now
Wiwaxia (GM): too soon :P
Karrin Blue: :b
nah but poor Kharla, really
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, no kidding
and poor whatever-was-left of naal
Karrin Blue: she had no real agency in ANYTHING except for when Ven was in charge
and the whole puppet thing was pretty obviously not her choice!
also there are now a bunch of fishy demons running around Chel, so
Wiwaxia (GM): hallo Arxon!
Nora R.: Hallo!
Karrin Blue: hi!
Nora R.: If I block it from using camera and mic now can I enable later?
Karrin Blue: yes
Wiwaxia (GM): you can also do more specific settings w/ the gear
Karrin Blue: like change your screenname!
Nora R.: Ok thank you!
Els W.: wait where's settings (also I am Not Literally A Bird)
Wiwaxia (GM): gear up top
Els W.: a HA thank you
(Not) Literally A Bird: Much better!
Karrin Blue: quite!
(Not) Literally A Bird: Oh dude, look at Sera's little icon. This is so cool :3
Karrin Blue: little icon?
Wiwaxia (GM): just pinged it
Karrin Blue: ah
on the map!
(Not) Literally A Bird: The green lion-thingy. Oh wow look the screen's moving!
Karrin Blue: yeah roll20 is fun
i do not get that long line of symbols tho
XANA symbol, angel, eye of suron?
*sauron
(Not) Literally A Bird: Well some of them are on the imps, so...elements? Prototyping?
Or grist!
Karrin Blue: we have to fight xana?
Wiwaxia (GM): protyping's the idea
Karrin Blue: shoot, and me without a friendly AI girl
Wiwaxia (GM): this is just my test page haha
(Not) Literally A Bird: It's okay! Sorry I am irrationally excited about everything.
Wiwaxia (GM): the four up there w/ 1 or 2 each are the one's I'm thinking of using
Karrin Blue: nah it's fine!
i mean being excited
Wiwaxia (GM): skull --> raccoon skull
leaf --> vine
weird swooshes --> nessie
Karrin Blue: and XANA?
Wiwaxia (GM): xana?
Karrin Blue: http://codelyoko.wikia.com/wiki/X.A.N.A.
It's the first symbol!
am i the only one who's seen code lyoko?
(Not) Literally A Bird: Oh duuuuude it's been a long time since I saw Code Lyoko, I didn't even recognise the name.
Arxon: I got my start internetting on the code lyoko forums
Wiwaxia (GM): never seen it!
Karrin Blue: yeah i mean I haven't watched in ages either but I knew I recognized the modified bullseye symbol
(I liked Yumi best, I think)
(Not) Literally A Bird: It's like a French anime-ish (in style at least) cartoon.
Karrin Blue: X.A.N.A is the evil AI thing
Wiwaxia (GM): also, do you all have a character sheet and a sylladex folder with a perfectly generic object in it?
Karrin Blue: yes
(Not) Literally A Bird: I do! I was going to say that but then I got distracted by Code Lyoko.
Karrin Blue: ...though it kind of looks like Sera's sylladex is under Myrtha's name?
that or I don't know how to use this interface
Arxon: Where would I see it?
Karrin Blue: right next to the chat bubble icon
there is something that looks like a folded newspaper
click on that
Also, right underneath the chatbox should be something that says 'As:' with a dropdown menu
Arxon: Ah alright thank you!
Karrin Blue: you can use that to change your name!
Myrtha Oscurr: like so
Wiwaxia (GM): @Karrin Blue that fix it?
wrt sylladices
(Not) Literally A Bird: Oh yeah, I can see Sera's too for some reason.
Myrtha Oscurr: it works for me
also if i close these windows on my end does it close it for you guys?
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah that's cos everyone can see her perfectly generic object
(Not) Literally A Bird: Not that it really matters I guess!
Wiwaxia (GM): for testing purposes
(Not) Literally A Bird: Ah alright, makes sense.
Wiwaxia (GM): which windows?
which I guess is a no
Myrtha Oscurr: the character profiles
(Not) Literally A Bird: I think we see what Wiwaxia is seeing
Myrtha Oscurr: Hm
Wiwaxia (GM): is the screen moving for y'all right now?
(Not) Literally A Bird: So if they (?) open/close a window we all see it, but if we individually open/close them they don't.
Myrtha Oscurr: Not at the moment, it is not
(Not) Literally A Bird: Ooh, it is...not. Huh. It did earlier, which is why I thought that was the case.
Wiwaxia (GM): ok, you don't see exactly what I see
yeah, shift+ping moves eveyone to where I click
like so
Myrtha Oscurr: Alrighty
Wiwaxia (GM): do you all have the attack and grapple buttons in the corner too, or is that just me?
Myrtha Oscurr: which corner?
Wiwaxia (GM): bottom left, below names
Myrtha Oscurr: no
Arxon: no
(Not) Literally A Bird: I can't see them, no.
Wiwaxia (GM): K, guess I'll have to put them on people's character sheets
are people seeing my scribblings right now?
Arxon: yes
Myrtha Oscurr: yes
Wiwaxia (GM): so that's the prototyping icons
(disregard the reference string on that one imp
)
I'm thinking each prototyping can give one of two things though (as per LOWAS walkaround) and I'm not sure how to distinguish those
shhh none of you saw that misspelling
hey other roll20 people, how do you move an individual player between maps?
(Not) Literally A Bird: Google suggests 'just switch maps between turns'
https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/203544/players-on-different-maps-same-campaign#post-206538
Wiwaxia (GM): wait I think I got it
Myrtha Oscurr: oh, sorry i didn't make a Myrtha map
Wiwaxia (GM): haha no worries
I can do it before next week or you can
Myrtha Oscurr: I can make one
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
also do people wanna draw their own icons like Kathy did?
Myrtha Oscurr: i can make a sprite
Arxon: Yeah I can draw an icon before next week
(Not) Literally A Bird: Yeah, I can do that! Also spriting. Not today though :P
Did we make a decision on ages, btw?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
straw poll?
Myrtha Oscurr: 16?
Arxon: 15
(Not) Literally A Bird: 15/16 is fine with me.
Hey, new friend!
Kite W.: hii
whimsy here
i overslept
im sorry .._.."
Wiwaxia (GM): gotcha!
character sheet coming right up
also you can change name w/ the gear in the top right
whimsicalobservant: tyvm
Wiwaxia (GM): you should have a sylladex with a perfectly generic object in it now, too
whimsicalobservant: indeed "_"
Ilmatar wonders, what this is
Wiwaxia (GM): (it's just there so you can see your sylladex)
whimsicalobservant: (it's kinda hilarious b/c I missed half an hour of action and now Ilmatar is appropriately wtf is happening)
Wiwaxia (GM): eh, just chatter and setup
(Not) Literally A Bird: The 'action' has mostly been us figuring out the UI so you haven't missed much :P
also I'm gonna brb if that's alright? shouldn't be gone long
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
also, a poll on character age
any preferences, whim?
Myrtha Oscurr: 16-ish
whimsicalobservant: uhm
16-ish sounds good, yeah
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
I'll see what the others think when they get here, but 16 it is for now
which makes our arc number 616
Arxon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast#616
Wiwaxia (GM): :3
Myrtha Oscurr: huh, i thought of the marvelverse first
Arxon: Should I give you bigger less transparent versions of Lemi's maps?
Wiwaxia (GM): nah, that's fine
I've got em all on the map layer
just fog of war because (mmmblemmbel)
whimsicalobservant: one of these days ill figure out why my tower is crashing
Wiwaxia (GM): oh also whimsicalobservant, you should see the prototyping symbols
whimsicalobservant: i see monsters and notes on them
Wiwaxia (GM): see the little things on the corner of the monsters?
whimsicalobservant: yes
(Not) Literally A Bird: (i'm back btw)
Wiwaxia (GM): I'm thinking of using those to show what underlings have which prototypings
yay!
whimsicalobservant: aah, interesting. means i need to write those down irl somewhere so i dont forget "_"
one doesnt have notes, is that on purpose?
Wiwaxia (GM): I'll probably make a reference handout with them too
whimsicalobservant: kk
Wiwaxia (GM): you mean the gery imps off to the side?
whimsicalobservant: ayup
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah those are just a bunch of extras
whimsicalobservant: kk
(Not) Literally A Bird: Juuust out of curiosity, what map are you guys on? I'm on the one with the house and also there are no imps.
Wiwaxia (GM): I just moved whimsicalobservant to the map y'all started on
I'm going mad with power with the moving players individually
(Not) Literally A Bird: Ooh! So you can move us to individual maps! That's exciting. :o
whimsicalobservant: ::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: Pfft.Now you're just showing off :P
whimsicalobservant: (also you can shorten me to whimsy) (quicker to type)
Wiwaxia (GM): gotcha
and I don't know what you're talking about
(Not) Literally A Bird: (Good point. You can shorten me to Bird or NLAB as well. Or I'll just change my name to Leon)
whimsicalobservant: character names is a good idea
Wiwaxia (GM): there's a dropdown below the catbox
*chatbox
Leon Gaspar: There certainly is!
Also I can impersonate any of you
:3
You seriously freaked me out for a second there :P
'Why does it say Leon Gaspar is typing oh god did I break it'
...Something like that.
Ilmatar Nordwind (whimsy): thatd be rude, leon::O -hides mask behind back-
Leon Gaspar: It wasn't me! It was, uh, the...weird voice.
Wiwaxia (GM): you can also do /me like in skype but with /em

Wiwaxia (GM) like this I think
Leon Gaspar looks around suspiciously

Ilmatar Nordwind (whimsy) has forgotten she still has her latex ears glued on and cannot impersonate anyone quite that easily.
Wiwaxia (GM): also /roll to roll
rolling 1d20
(
14
)
= 14
and /whisper for secret messages
or /gmroll for secret rolls
Leon Gaspar: ....do I have to type out people's full names to whisper?
Wiwaxia (GM): not sure
Leon Gaspar: well that didn't work
Wiwaxia (GM): oop, just /w sorry
Ilmatar Nordwind hums Valley of the Dolls. It seems appropriate.
Leon Gaspar: aha! there we go
Ilmatar Nordwind hears voices!
Wiwaxia (GM): speaking of humming

Wiwaxia (GM) kicks jukebox
Wiwaxia (GM): work, damn you!
Ilmatar Nordwind: perhaps the voice broadcast overwrites the music?
Leon Gaspar: Oh shit!
Leon Gaspar jams the fuck out
Ilmatar Nordwind: Shit, let's be epic :D
Leon Gaspar quite literally, he has his guitar and everything
Wiwaxia (GM): I'm just annoyed that I can only pull off souncloud
:T
Ilmatar Nordwind: can't upload own files?
Wiwaxia (GM): also yes, theme music for fraymotis :3
nope
whimsy: thats stupid
Wiwaxia (GM): or snag music from youtube or elsewhere
Myrtha Oscurr: Myrtha's will be the relevant theme for Giselle, probably?
or like a cool remix
whimsy: solution: make account and upload necessary files on private mode
Wiwaxia (GM): might do!
oh also, we should decide on a entry order
I'm thinking we should start with everyone already entered
but we need to know how the gates go round
whimsy: no entry shenanigans?
Leon Gaspar: Sounds good, the entry bit is really difficult to do
Leon Gaspar tried to do a fanventure once. it was way too hard
Myrtha Oscurr: ywah
Ilmatar Nordwind: you can put Ilmatar wherever needed most/least
whimsy: it worked quite well in our game! but hell if i know how our gm did it
Leon Gaspar: We could ... roll for it, I guess? Go in order of lowest to highest roll?
whimsy: a myriad of skype chat windows was involved
Myrtha Oscurr: that might work
rolling i mean
Wiwaxia (GM): could do!
Leon Gaspar: Decisions are hard, I like letting dice make them for me :P
Wiwaxia (GM): i think I'm gonna put myrtha last b/c witch, though
Arxon: @Leon Gaspar my motto
Myrtha Oscurr: akay then
Arxon: Hey did we decide anything about chumhandles?
Myrtha Oscurr: oh i didn't pick one
whimsy: not that i remember
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, not yet
we could do dna
or element abbreviations
Leon Gaspar: Element abbreviations would be cool!
Myrtha Oscurr: indeed
whimsy: i have one picked tentatively, but i can handwave that one as "i have many internet identities"
Wiwaxia (GM): oh that's a volume bar, not a place-in-song bar
roll for entry order?
I can get rolls from bats and kathy when they show up
d20 probably
Arxon: rolling 1d20
(
17
)
= 17
whimsy: rolling 1d20
(
2
)
= 2
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d20
(
2
)
= 2
oops i'll roll again
rolling 1d20
(
13
)
= 13
that'll do
Wiwaxia (GM): Oh boy Lemi is probably session leader
y'all are doomed
whimsy: ahahahahhaha
perfect
Myrtha Oscurr: wellp
Arxon: oh gosh Lemi would hide under a table forever
Leon Gaspar: let's be real we're prooobably doomed anyway :P
Statements like that are also why you are our leader.
Ilmatar Nordwind: potential for disaster skyrocketing?
Wiwaxia (GM): @Bird: yes, perfect reference deployment
whimsy: afk for a second, procuring food
Wiwaxia (GM): oh yeah I should probably also do that
snack break?
Myrtha Oscurr: kay

whimsy has stopped being a food zombie, and is quite awake for the time of day
whimsy: also, tell me when to start recording, heh

(Not) Literally A Bird chugs tea

Arxon Arxon is running off of 3 cans of coke and pure gumption

Wiwaxia (GM) has a freezer tamale
Wiwaxia (GM): also apparently boyacrossthesteet has internet problems and can't make it tonight
(Not) Literally A Bird: :C that sucks
whimsy: is2g usually my tower does not crash this often
Wiwaxia (GM): once start playing, we can just have it as your phone dying constantly
or your land interfering with you phone, actually
whimsy: ooh i am intrigued
Wiwaxia (GM): good :3
whimsy: are the crows ambiente?
Wiwaxia (GM): ambiente?
whimsy: ambience
Myrtha Oscurr: ambient
whimsy: sorry, forgot to translate the word
Arxon: Should we decide exactly where everyone lives? or is that not especially relevant?
Wiwaxia (GM): probably a good idea, yeah
or at least native climate
Myrtha Oscurr: hmm
(Not) Literally A Bird: Cliche as it is, I was imagining somewhere like New York for Leon. London would also work.
whimsy: Ilmatar grew up close to the North Sea, so somewhere in either Niedersachsen or Schleswig-Holstein ::D so, temperate sea climate
Myrtha Oscurr: upper new englandy?
(Not) Literally A Bird: Basically 'big city'
Arxon: w/ whimsy Yeah that sounds really nice!
wait crap that didn't work?
whimsy: you mixed up / and w
Arxon: ohhh that makes sense yeah
sorry
whimsy: ::3
Wiwaxia (GM): so you are all gonna be completely fucked in a desert
good to know!
Myrtha Oscurr: ys
Arxon: I was thinking Lemi lives in a pacific northwest redwood forest, just because those are the type I am familiar with, but I am flexible as long as it's a forest
Wiwaxia (GM): :D
Leon Gaspar thinks it is too hot for this bullshit
Ilmatar Nordwind: Excuse yuo, Miss GM! Ilmatar has desert appropriate clothing anda fan - oh wait, the desert appropriate clothing came when she was 20. nvm.
Wiwaxia (GM): ehehehe
(Not) Literally A Bird: hahaha yeah I was about to say Leon's fine for a desert then I remembered he's 16 and wearing like 3 layers of shirts
Arxon: Gm laughing= true terror
Hey, Lemi's wearing something sleeveless!
....A sleeveless sweater
whimsy: there is a mug in our mathematics common room - When you see the GM laughing, it's already too late
(Not) Literally A Bird: pfft
Alternatively, when the GM is like 'are you absolutely sure you want to do that'

(Not) Literally A Bird was in a game last week where within 3 minutes of starting someone had picked up Hitler and was taking him to the police station
Wiwaxia (GM): wow
whimsy: well
Wiwaxia (GM): okay, I don't think that's gonna happen here
if only for lack of hitler
(Not) Literally A Bird: What are you talking about, all good tabletop games have hitler
Wiwaxia (GM): okay I think that's enough of that loop
hey, if you wanted hitler you shoulda prototyped him
(Not) Literally A Bird: :P
whimsy: Rogue!Tyven's answer to "do you really want to do that" woulda been "hell yeah" / has already done it
Ilmatars answer is "yes"
Wiwaxia (GM): so I guess there are worse possible leaders for this group than Lemi
whimsy: ayup ::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: whoa hey words
:P
Arxon: Yeah we all hear words
(Not) Literally A Bird: Loud and clear, yo.
Arxon: unless we have words turned off I suppose
Myrtha Oscurr: I have audio stuff turned off
Wiwaxia (GM): gotcha
so keep voice chat to just ooc
Arxon: (to assuage my random baseless fears: I haven't been broadcasting at all this whole time without knowing, right?)
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Arxon: alright thank you
Wiwaxia (GM): anything else people want to go over?
Arxon: ummm we should probably plan out all the characters relationships at starting? But we can do that in thread.
Wiwaxia (GM): eh, can toss around ideas here
since we've got 4/6
and then crosspost to thread
Arxon: (srry for silence, checking character descriptions in the thread)

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:42 AM

whimsy: what are/were our entry items?
Wiwaxia (GM): ooh, y'know I don't know
will have to think
whimsy: Ilmatar probably waited for the last possible second to enter, as far as I know her - for what reason tho? There's always reason behind the timing and the items. Maybe she waited until everyone else was safe? Maybe there was something she had to take care of?
Wiwaxia (GM): you rolled a 2 for entry, yeah
so probably trieng to get Myrtha in
*trying
whimsy: (itd be hella funny if one of the missing two people rolled a 1)
Arxon: @(not) literally a bird
Does Leon's Tia make horror films, or is she a big fan?
(Not) Literally A Bird: She's a big fan
Arxon: alright
(Not) Literally A Bird: She would /like/ to make horror films but making films is hard. Maybe she makes amateur films in her spare time
Leon Gaspar all time players have weird guardians
Wiwaxia (GM): this is true
yeah, where would people's guardians wander?
Arxon: Maybe Lemi tried to send a letter or message to her about something horror-ish, and it got to Leon somehow?
Wiwaxia (GM): leon also knows about the game in advance b/c walkthrough
(Not) Literally A Bird: Also if we're doing elements for our chumhandles, should we pick a theme?
Sorry had to get the door!
Wiwaxia (GM): well people already have bismuth and cobalt as associated elements
(Not) Literally A Bird: Yeah maybe! That'd work.
Alright, so we'll rule those out. I was thinking cadmium or nickel.
Leon met Ilmatar asking about occult things on forums because he was trying to find out about all the horror stuff littered around his house, so it's also possible he ran into Lemi that way?
Arxon: Oh that's good!
(Not) Literally A Bird: Yeah. Leon is good because he likes Knowing Things so he's flexible re: meeting people.
Wiwaxia (GM): and can be the one to get everyone to play the game, too\
(Not) Literally A Bird: Nice :P
'guys EVERYONE is playing this c'mon I found a walkthrough and everything'
Arxon: Silver is used in film for photos, right?So maybe that for Lemi?
Myrtha Oscurr: except the walkthrough ends with the author flipping out
(Not) Literally A Bird: Well yes but he doesn't tell them that :P
Myrtha Oscurr: and ripping it to a server in the Ring
whimsy: if youre still using film instead of digital
Myrtha Oscurr: he didn't read that far
(Not) Literally A Bird: he's like 'probably that's just for flavour'
Wiwaxia (GM): oh boy :D
whimsy: (Ilmatar believes walkthroughs to be boring, but hell yes a game she is so up for that)
Arxon: they do have a darkroom area set up
(Not) Literally A Bird: o
whimsy: ooh cool "_"

(Not) Literally A Bird a tiny mushroom is here, that is her message for you all
Wiwaxia (GM): silver sounds good! Ag
(Not) Literally A Bird: Guitar strings (the metal ones, that is) are nickel, so Ni
Arxon: (Lemi is so excited to have friends! So yeah maybe this whole game thing is wierd and kinda sketch but if she says no what if they all hate her! So she has to play!)
Wiwaxia (GM): oh noooooooo
(Not) Literally A Bird: (Oh no Lemi :( poor thing)
Wiwaxia (GM): (she is not gonna like her land)
(yes I'm gonna keep teasing these until next week)
(Not) Literally A Bird: im so fucking pumped
Wiwaxia (GM): :3

(Not) Literally A Bird also if i swear too much u can be like 'tone it down'

whimsy is v excited
Arxon: (ono Lemi is probably not made for high stress situations like "the end of the world" and "attempting to save some strange land" and "oh no people are arguing")

(Not) Literally A Bird i'm australian this is how we show excitement
Wiwaxia (GM): seriously, do not worry about swearing
whimsy: @Arxon eheheheh ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): I swear like a fucking sailor

whimsy motions to High-Five Wiwaxia and Bird
Arxon: actual reason I am not talking with mouth: I have zero self censorship and sound like a 8 year old who has first learned swears)
Wiwaxia (GM): so I think we need a connection between Myrtha and the rest of the group

(Not) Literally A Bird does not leave whimsy hanging
Myrtha Oscurr: hmm
well, she is a Haver of Skulls
whimsy: Ilmatar bought a skull off Myrtha
how the two met, no idea. probs stumbled across each other in the dA tags or sth
(Not) Literally A Bird: so did Leon, probably on Ilmatar's advice. it was a birthday present for Tia.
(Skulls are cool.)

Arxon: Lemi's chumhandle= AphoticGaze?
(Not) Literally A Bird: going afk for a minute, i foolishly did not take a snack break earlier
Wiwaxia (GM): @Arxon: done.
whimsy: (chumhandle notes:
(blrgh) (missed a key there)
Myrtha Oscurr: hm
Arxon: (brb getting delicious foodstuffs)
(Not) Literally A Bird: i keep thinking like nascentInterlude or nascentImprovisation. i just like the word nascent okay
Wiwaxia (GM): I like both of those
(Not) Literally A Bird: Interlude is prettier but Improvisation makes more sense. Hrm.
Flipped a coin, Interlude it is!
Wiwaxia (GM): cool!

(Not) Literally A Bird: niiiiiice

Wiwaxia (GM): oooooh
whimsy: phrontistery.info for all your weird word needs ::DD
Myrtha Oscurr: I like the word chiaroscuro but
it is rather long
Wiwaxia (GM): No, is good!
(is also one of my favorite words)
Myrtha Oscurr: hee
(Not) Literally A Bird: yo i gotta do some study, do y'all mind if i leave the rest to you guys?
Wiwaxia (GM): sure!
I think we're about wrapping up for today anyways, yeah?
(Not) Literally A Bird: sounds good. if something big comes up lemme know in the thread!

Wiwaxia (GM): yep
see ya

Arxon: BourasqueIndwell sounds good?
whimsy: hella ::D
Arxon: 0u0
Myrtha Oscurr: well, i'll go to bed then
Wiwaxia (GM): night!
whimsy: n8 ::3
Myrtha Oscurr: and will try to work on a sprite and map

Wiwaxia (GM): whimsy you should.... probably also go to sleep
how late is it where you are?
whimsy: 6 am ::D
im p awake, but i dont wanna do my homework
Wiwaxia (GM): fair enough!
Arxon: Checking: Only thing I need to do is draw my icon? And help brainstorm remaining character relations?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, I think that's it!
Arxon: ok!
whimsy: ima go offline from roll20, but i'm available via kintsugi
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
I'll get what we worked out here up on the thread
Arxon: bye!
Wiwaxia (GM): and see you next week!
whimsy: i hope i wont overlseep again xxD
omg what if ilmatar is late to the game because she overslept
(i kinda love my disaster potential characters)
see you ::D
Arxon: should I drop offa roll20 too?
I'll also be on kintsugi
Wiwaxia (GM): either way
I'll probably be poking around on here with map stuff and macros for a bit
Arxon: alright
I'll prolly drop off and watch a movie
See you next week!

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:44 AM

Wiwaxia (GM): hallo people!
I'm still getting my roller up and running, but I should be good by 6
Arxon: Ok!
Also I might have to be gone for a little while later, sorry 0n0
Karrin Blue: H'llo
Moss Kaplan: Hello! I'm actually on this time!
k m.: wait, there we go
Karrin Blue: yaay
(Not) Literally A Bird: Hello everyone!
Karrin Blue: i got like 5 hours of sleep last night so I will probably not be too talkative tonight, but i'll try my best!
Oh, also
I didn't make a sprite but here is a dollmaker Myrtha
http://i.imgur.com/pEIxGU0.png
Arxon: cute!
k m.: i am right in the middle of writing a thing onto the forum thread, got distracted, and set up my tablet again
but i'll put it on here too
"So for picking from elements, can we just pick an element & go with it, or are we picking from our associated elements?
Moss has a heavy interest in things relating to History - and therefore things like maps (possible connection to Ilmatar since Guardian's Interest?), though Moss' interest in maps is more tangential to their history obsession
k m.: Moss has an irritating habit of debunking conspiracy theories & other...less scientific ideas, especially ones that aren't properly cited. They think it's funny. They also think conspiracy theories are kind of dumb, and when they aren't pretending that "haha i do it for the lulz", they view conspiracy theories as playing on the minds of the gullible. Especially those really lazy facebook ones that spread like a chain email.
attached file is shirt design, except i don't have my color green on the program, so it's the wrong color. pretend it's darker and more green"
https://kintsugi.seebs.net/attachments/stylized-vine-png.2094/
Also that's super cute Karrin!
Wiwaxia (GM): ain't got the time now, but I can fix the color on the vine for you before next session
k m.: oh dude cool
i'm working from like 6 colors over here
that would be awesometacular
Wiwaxia (GM): you're also probably gonna have to deal with it being tiny and not-transparent for now
k m.: that works! I can definitely live with that
whimsy: morning
sorry for the delay
(Not) Literally A Bird: morning whimsy!
whimsy: just got outta the shower
k m.: morning!
haha, it is 9pm here
whimsy: 3 am here ::D hopd the water would get me awake, after i havent managed to sleep
(Not) Literally A Bird: oh jesus whimsy D: that is very early!
it's 11am here and i may or may not be lying in bed w/ my laptop
whimsy: best place to be, probably
k m.: lordy, 3am
jesus
whimsy: my desire to play sburb with you is stronger than the desire for a working sleeping rhythm a few weeks before the exams, or actually sleeping
Karrin Blue: whimsy it sounds like you may literally die
whimsy: i have saturday and sunday for sleeping
Karrin Blue: that is not how it works dude
(Not) Literally A Bird: whimsy. whimsy no. whimsy please take care of yourself D:
whimsy: and monday for homework because GUESS WHO DID PART OF THEIR HOMEWORK EARLY
k m.: ooh nice on getting homework done
whimsy: (oh yeah before i forget it, i'll also drop a note in the thread and in the group chat in kintsugi, but i won't be present for weekend 8th - 9th of august)
Wiwaxia (GM): of all the times to flake out on me, chrome
whimsy: ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): there ya go km
k m.: i have been having weird computer things today
i think it's because i haven't technically turned this beast off for like two weeks
if i disappear mysteriously it's my own fault
oh hey!
neat!
Wiwaxia (GM): you should be able to move it around, too
k m.: whee i'm flying
Wiwaxia (GM): huzzah!
Karrin Blue: are those impact craters in the corners...
Wiwaxia (GM): I'm gonna get something rigged up for karrin while we wait for kathy
those are trees, I think
also, an awesome friend of mine volunteered to write land descriptions for you guys
whimsy: ooooh
Wiwaxia (GM): so I'll PM the ones she's done so far to you all on the forums
(Not) Literally A Bird: :o hell yeah
I'm so excited for land stuff tbh
Wiwaxia (GM): because we're starting after entry
whimsy: post entry, pre mob spawns? ::D
k m.: sweet
whimsy: b/c earlier today i realized ilmatars weapon might come in handy after she gets some actual breath powers, but before that, fankind is... well, fans can be used as weapons, if you know how, and/or have the bladed version.
k m.: that just reminds me of tamora pierce's keladry series and makes me happy
Karrin Blue: ahhh protector of the small is great
k m.: my first tamora pierce books!
(Not) Literally A Bird: :D that was also what i was thinking of
Wiwaxia (GM): K, lands sent to Karrin, bats and Arxon
Karrin Blue: ooh, nice
whimsy:
Karrin Blue: I still need to think of a good handle for Myrtha
Wiwaxia (GM): the other three of you'll have to wait till my friend's done
k m.: ooh.
i like
whimsy: (oh ye) (should i record the sessions?)
Arxon: 0u0 THIS IS FINE
Wiwaxia (GM): ehehehe
Karrin Blue: i kinda want to do something with Olethros? because that's an old greek god of destruction in a positive sense
Wiwaxia (GM): go ahead, unless anyone else has any objections
Karrin Blue: but hrm it's hard to piiick
k m.: oh! and we were doing elements form handles, right?
are they like any elements or are they from what we have?
*from
Karrin Blue: cO
cobalt
Wiwaxia (GM): metals, I think
Karrin Blue: oh, in which case i can think of a different one
Wiwaxia (GM): cobalt's a metal
Karrin Blue: ...
oops
well ok then
Wiwaxia (GM): sI for km if you wanna go with dust
or you could pick some other metal
*silicon
whimsy: kathy, arxon, bird, what's your stance on a recording of this session?
k m.: i'm down with silicon actually
i was reading through the metal elements
Arxon: I'm fine with it!
I won't be talking tonight anyway
whimsy: (i'd be reccing the screen, too, b/c that's the important part)
(Not) Literally A Bird: recording is fine by me!
Arxon: that's fine by me too!
Karrin Blue: I'm fine with it too
k m.: yeah, thass cool.
permapermissions
whimsy: kk ::3
Wiwaxia (GM): Karrin, how's that look for a house?
Karrin Blue: Looks good!
Though one of those bedrooms is probably storage space for SCA stuff
since it's just her and her dad
whimsy: (i just hope that the recording is fine if my tower crashes)
Wiwaxia (GM): "The Armory"?
Karrin Blue: hehe
sure
Wiwaxia (GM): there ya go
I'll see what I can get whipped up for a rosemary blossom
Karrin Blue: oh well thanks
whimsy: wait a second
did i mix up boyacrossthestreet and kathy?
that would explain a few things
k m.: probably! no worries!
whimsy: ffff
-bonks head on nearby wall-
is kathy busy tonight?
Karrin Blue: Hmm, I think I might use couru for the first part of Myrtha's handle
Wiwaxia (GM): fucking chrome
(Not) Literally A Bird: brb i gotta relocate!
Wiwaxia (GM): there ya go, karrin
k m.: so if I have sL
...L could be Legacy...
s. hmmm
Wiwaxia (GM): I'm gonna restart my computer in the hopes that it stops hating me, and then we can start
*silion's si, by the way
k m.: well, I can;t read and also i'm bad at science
whoops!
fixed
Wiwaxia (GM): no worries
brb
whimsy: phrontistery.info for all your weird word needs
it'S how i came up with "bourasqueIndwell" (tempest; guiding force) for Ilmatar
k m.: nice
whimsy: ooooh, what if ilmatar posted another of her loopy theories and moss joined the thread for debunking
thaat shouldve been a whisper
damn
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, I'm back!
anything else that needs dealt with, or are we ready to get this show on the road?
Karrin Blue: sure
Arxon: Yep!
Wiwaxia (GM): Alright!
whimsy: let'S get this party started
Wiwaxia (GM): You are all standing in your respective bedrooms after a whirlwind entry that we are conviniently eliding
sera's laptop battery has died and so she is out of communication
(Not) Literally A Bird: (i'm back btw)
Wiwaxia (GM): (I think I'm gonna describe surroundings here in the general chat rather than in for ease of reading/recording and because I assume your characters will just relay information to eachother when they're in different places)
oh also
whimsy: aaand back online
Wiwaxia (GM): Lemi, all the lightbulbs in your house exploded when you entered
the only light in your room is a blue glow from your computer screen and a faint ruddy red light from outside
what are people doing?
Leon Gaspar: I'm going to go look out the window.
Moss Kaplan: I look outside as well
Wiwaxia (GM): @Leon
Ilmatar Nordwind: yeah, window sound like a good idea
Wiwaxia (GM): the sky is peach, with wispy pink clouds through which rays of light are streaming
Myrtha Oscurr: As I have no idea what is going on with Lemi, I go up to my roof
or the uppermost windows
Wiwaxia (GM): your apartment building seems to still be there
but it's on a weird highway cloverleaf
which is ruined
and standing in an ocean
Lemi Malloy: I'm going to pick up my laptop and bring it with me to iight my way as I leave my room and check to see if a) every light really is out and b) if Sis is around anywhere
Leon Gaspar: nI: well this is. pretty and also weird.
Wiwaxia (GM): @Lemi, yep, every light
there's broken glass around one of your sister's handcranked flashlights, too
@Moss
Ilmatar Nordwind: bI: @ nl how so?
Wiwaxia (GM): you house is on what used to be an island
as in there's a bed of still slightly damp red mud forking around it
Leon Gaspar: nI: i mean the sky is like a really pretty sunset, but im also stranded on a giant clover so uh
nI: hows things with you guys
Wiwaxia (GM): there's trees on both sides of the erstwhile river, but they aren't looking too hot
@Ilmatar well, your house is still on a cliff by the sea
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Either my ears got injured in the teleporty thing, or this place is haunted
Wiwaxia (GM): but the sea is made of stormclouds that flash with lighning
and the cliff is blue metal
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: @co grab salt, and willow twigs
oh fuck yeah
Moss Kaplan: sI: Huh. Well, mom would be pissed. All the trees are dying
whimsy: bismuth cliffs?
Wiwaxia (GM): there's a giant stepped mountain rising up behind your house
Lemi Malloy: I set my laptop down on a table as I see messages.
ag: everything's dark!!! All the lights blew out I think, even flashlights
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, bismuth
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: im still on a cliff by the sea, just the cliff's suddenly blue, and the sea is stormclouds
bi: @ag do you have candles?
Wiwaxia (GM): the edges of it go over the horizon in both directions
Moss Kaplan: sI: did the breakers...uh. break?
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: endless clouds... endless lightning.... it appears i have been whisked to wotan's realm
Moss Kaplan: sI: like, the fuses.
Wiwaxia (GM): (I think that's all the window, except Karrin, who got a land PM)
Ilmatar Nordwind: I open the window.
Lemi Malloy: aq: @bi um probably? I can check. I dunno if it's the fuses because even flashlights are out?
Myrtha Oscurr: co: All the lights? Even the ones turned off?
Leon Gaspar: nI: wait how do I even have power? this doesnt -- eh whatever. i guess we should focus on figuring out what the next step is.
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Well, we should probably equip ourselves with those weird magic alchemy things
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar, there's a cool breeze and a distant rumble of thunder from below you
Ilmatar Nordwind: (where is our alchemiter stuff, btw?)
Myrtha Oscurr: co:Food, water, like 30 computers?
Wiwaxia (GM): uh
Leon Gaspar: nI: yes! good point myrtha. everyone needs at least 5 computers.
Wiwaxia (GM): (quick lemme plop some stuff around)
incidentally, you each have 20 build grist
Ilmatar Nordwind: I stand in the window, because everything is very pleasant at the moment. I assume the air is a bit static, as well? (i have an irl sense for that, idk how it's with other people) (air pressure, imminent torrents, stuff like that)
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Ilmatar Nordwind: I make a couple of pictures and send em around
Lemi Malloy: ag: The bulbs are all exploded...
ag: brb, checking for candles.
Wiwaxia (GM): gristtorent is 100 build grist and I would recomend someone gets that asap
Lemi Malloy: I try and find candles in the storage room
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Weird. Turned-off lights don't usually burst in power surges, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): can you move yourself there?
^Lemi
Leon Gaspar: @Wiwaxia btw what do I know from my walkthrough? do i, for instance, know how to get more build grist?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
you know that there's enemies called underlings
imps easy, ogres harder etc
and something called a linnorm that one of the commenters on the walkthrough was very insistent that you do not attempt to fight
Leon Gaspar: aaand do I have a basic flail in my strife specibus? otherwise i'm going to make that my priority
(I also relate all this information to the rest of the group! but I haven't mentioned the, er, abrupt ending.)
Myrtha Oscurr: I think we should have some upgraded weapons, better than basic lying-around-house stuff?
the kids all made weapons during entry
Moss Kaplan: sI: I want to check out the great outdoors here. I've got footkind anyway
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: weapons? i assumed we were guests in these lands. are there interlopers who wish us harm afoot?
Leon Gaspar: nI: yeah, monsters. lots of monsters.
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: how wonderful! i wonder if i can befriend some
Leon Gaspar: NI: also before anyone asks you can't--
NI: ... befriend them.
Wiwaxia (GM): any non-alchemized weapon does 1d8 damage,btw
Leon Gaspar: NI: ilmatar please try not to die okay
Myrtha Oscurr: co: I think that's a good goal for ALL of us
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: oh, i quite plan on staying alive and seeing more of this beautiful place
Moss Kaplan: sI: yeah, historically, relationships between two cultures tend to go poorly. I vote for avoiding them as much as possible
Myrtha Oscurr: co: They drop materials, that may not be possible.
Wiwaxia (GM): @Lemi
Leon Gaspar: NI: okay good. we do have to defeat them to get grist but we should make sure we're ready first
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, you just ran into an imp
Myrtha Oscurr: co: At the very least killing them was necessary to make anything at first.
Wiwaxia (GM): STRIFE
Leon Gaspar: (While Lemi is strifing, I look around for something to alchemise my Makeshift Flail with, specifically something spiky.)
Lemi Malloy: ok!
I don't have a weapon so I have to either improve, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): roll under, lessay 5 on d6
I assume you have a basic hatchet or something in your strife specibus
Lemi Malloy: alright
Wiwaxia (GM): +0 to hit, 1d8 damage
imp got the drop on you, though
Leon Gaspar: (yeah I think it's fair enough that we'd each have a basic version of our strife specibus on hand?)
Wiwaxia (GM): quite literally
yep, that's the though
*thought
rolling 1d20
(
4
)
= 4
Myrtha Oscurr: In that case I head to my alchemiter! Since I entered last I have one of the supercombined versions, I think?
Ilmatar Nordwind: (while Lemi is strifing, I take out my fan, and go down to the kitchen to grab a knife, with the intent of combining the two to a simple bladed fan)
Myrtha Oscurr: those got unlocked the further along the chain you go
Wiwaxia (GM): and the imp slams into the ground at your feet
@Myrtha, no you need to get the jumper block extension and shunts for that
they're unloocked, but none of you can afford them
Myrtha Oscurr: Huh, but this is a six-person chain
Wiwaxia (GM): b/c you all entered at ~ the same time
Moss Kaplan: Yeah, there's no real weapons I could make
so I'm heading downstairs.
do I see anything as I head outside?
Myrtha Oscurr: huh ok then
Wiwaxia (GM): so there isn't the ridiculous exponentiation of starting grist
Myrtha Oscurr: i see!
Wiwaxia (GM): wouldn't fit in your grist cache anyways
Myrtha Oscurr: then I go to the Armory to collect useful pointy things

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:45 AM

Lemi roll a d6 for initiative vs the imp
rolling 1d6
(

Myrtha Oscurr: and note down the captcha codes
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d6

rolling 1d20

Myrtha Oscurr: co: Here, these codes should help with making weapons
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp is not having the best day
your turn
Lemi Malloy: Imp's trying their best
Myrtha Oscurr sends over a docfile of captcha codes
Leon Gaspar: NI: sweet thanks myrtha!
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): yeeeeah that hits

Wiwaxia (GM): it's dead
very dead
you get 10 mahogony grist
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: thank you, myrtha
(i pick something blade-y pretty thing, and ponder, this or the kitchen knife?) (the pretty blade-y thing, probably)
Leon Gaspar looks through docfile
Leon Gaspar ponders
Lemi Malloy: I abandon candlequest to run back to my laptop
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: lemi, is your phone still alive? maybe you can use that as a flashlight
Lemi Malloy: ag: HAS ANYONE ELSE FOUND A MONSTER??!?!?!?!?!?
Moss Kaplan: On my way downstairs, do I see anything of interest?
Do i have to roll?
Wiwaxia (GM): (motherfuck, I put the prototypings on Lemi instead of the imp)
you've gotta roll if you're looking for something
you make it down the stairs to the transportalizer chamber without incident
Leon Gaspar: Do we have to roll on Myrtha's docfile?
Wiwaxia (GM): transportalize? y/n
nah
Myrtha Oscurr: the docfile is just a list of things
Leon Gaspar: Then I find the code for a short scythe and head for the alchemiter
NI: shit lemi are you okay?
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: shes ok enough to capslock at us
Leon Gaspar: NI: well you're not wrong
Lemi Malloy: ag: there was this little monster thing and it fell from the ceiling and it kinda flopped around so i hit it with my hatchet and it died and turned into little thingies????
Moss Kaplan: ((hell, just lost connection for a bit))
I am totally going to transportalize
Leon Gaspar: NI: okay good, little thingies are good
Wiwaxia (GM): how far down?
garden atrium, lower levels, up to Mom's old room?
Myrtha Oscurr: oc: Like, weird candy-looking things?
Lemi Malloy: ag: yeah like that
Leon Gaspar: NI: that's 'grist' apparently. we can build things with that!
NI: and we need more of it. lots more.
Moss Kaplan: Lower levels.
Wiwaxia (GM): 's pretty dusty down here
Leon Gaspar: (How do I go about trying to alchemise?)
Wiwaxia (GM): there's some greenish light from the far windows coming in through the leaves
@Leon at the end of the session tell me what you want to alchemize and I'll get it to you by next time
Moss Kaplan: I sneeze.
And check for any imps
Wiwaxia (GM): I'll give you the cost and then you can decide if you want to make it or not
no imps that you can see
Lemi Malloy: I scroll up, see Ilmatar's message, and look around for my phone
Leon Gaspar: (Ah ok.)
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Any of you guys have something that'd be good to combine with weapons?
Moss Kaplan: Cool. I look around for something I could combine with weapons for the others ((is that too vague?))
Leon Gaspar: NI: I'm gonna go find some more grist before I look for weapon ideas.
Wiwaxia (GM): @Leon, you hear something rattling the door of the apartment
yep, too vauge
what are you looking for?
garden implements?
Leon Gaspar: NI: shit. brb guys
Wiwaxia (GM): electric things
Leon Gaspar: I put down my laptop and equip my Makeshift Flail.
NI: hey myrtha you wouldn't have a taser would you
Moss Kaplan: Hm. Yeah. Sharp & pointy garden implements. Grist if it's, like, lying around
Myrtha Oscurr: co: I have pepper spray and one of those brass-knuckle keychain things
Wiwaxia (GM): no grist lying around
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Also a halbred
Leon Gaspar carefully heads for the door w/ flail in hand
Wiwaxia (GM): you need to roll 7 or lower on a d6 to find a pointy garden implement, so yes
Myrtha Oscurr: *halberd
Wiwaxia (GM): you found one of those dirt aerater claw things
Leon Gaspar and......flings it open!!!
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, imps
3 of em
all yellow
wanna engage or shut the door?
Leon Gaspar: engage
Moss Kaplan: neat. I grab it and put it in my sylladex to give to someone at some point
Leon Gaspar: i'm gonnna need to get out of this apartment at some point
Wiwaxia (GM): k one sec
Ilmatar Nordwind wonders if her mother was home when this happened.
Moss Kaplan: I'll head up to Mom's room
Leon Gaspar makes sure his connection is still working
Wiwaxia (GM): sorry, getting imps sorted
Leon Gaspar: no it's okay! i just know my internet cuts out sometimes and I wanted to make sure i wasn't lagging or something >.>
(i am the canon seer, it is me)
Wiwaxia (GM): fff
right, there we go
you got the drop on the imps, so you get a turn before initiative
Leon Gaspar: I go to attack the leftmost imp (specifically to whack it on the head)
(what do i need to roll again)
Wiwaxia (GM): that one?
Leon Gaspar: ohh hey look at imps
sorry i was in the wrong part of the map
Wiwaxia (GM): roll 1d20 plus the attack bonus you don't have
Leon Gaspar: change that to the one closest to me
rolling 1d20
(
2
)
= 2
oops
Wiwaxia (GM): nnnope
now roll d6 for initiative
rolling 1d6
(
4
)
= 4
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d6
(
2
)
= 2
Wiwaxia (GM): initiative is by side, btw, so they all go
Leon Gaspar has 2 as an (unlucky) number apparently
Wiwaxia (GM): first off you take 4 damage
ouch
Leon Gaspar winces
Wiwaxia (GM): then the closest imp to you is gonna attack
rolling 1d20
(
7
)
= 7
nope
then that guys gonna go there and snap at you over the head of the other with its long neck
rolling 2d20
(
17
+
4
)
= 21
4 does not hit
Leon Gaspar is looking at his life, his choices
Wiwaxia (GM): whoop, 5 technically
still does not hit
oh and that imp takes 4 damage and heals 1
nope it's dead
Leon Gaspar breathes a sigh of relief
Wiwaxia (GM): bad call, imp
Leon Gaspar: (if i may, why are they taking damage? from missing?)
Wiwaxia (GM): it dropped a fuckload of amber grist

Leon Gaspar accepts the mystery and moves on
Leon Gaspar: I'm also ignoring the grist for now until the immediate threat is dealt with
Wiwaxia (GM): your turn
yeah good call
Leon Gaspar: sweet! i'm gonna go for the nearest imp again
rolling 1d20
(
17
)
= 17
Wiwaxia (GM): k, roll twice and take the lowest
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d20
(

Wiwaxia (GM): nope

Leon Gaspar: yep, gonna retreat. how far can i go?
Wiwaxia (GM): 6m
Leon Gaspar: assuming each square is 1m?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep

(Not) Literally A Bird: that was NOT the button i wanted

Wiwaxia (GM): leon's turn again
(Not) Literally A Bird: okay. i assume i'm not in hitting distance rn?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
(Not) Literally A Bird: aaand if i move now i can't move again
squints
Wiwaxia (GM): also, multitasking time!
(Not) Literally A Bird: oh yeah. sorry guys! it is All About Leon
Wiwaxia (GM): moss, your mom's room is covered in gardening tools and slightly mouldering gardening mags
also vines
ilmatar, what are you doing?
leon, got a call on what you're gonna do on your turn yet?
climbing on furniture is toally legit, btw
(Not) Literally A Bird: :^)
Ilmatar Nordwind: Two things: Was my mama home when we entered?
And I wanted to head down to the kitchen (fan equipped), and grab a kitchen knife to alchemize a bladed fan with
Moss Kaplan: I shove aside the gardening magazines. Ugh. At some point I was going to clean these out.
I grab the pointier of the gardening tools and shove them into my sylladex
((ngl i have this image of Moss shoving things into midair like a kid hiding messes in a closet))
(Not) Literally A Bird: I am on the couch now
like sort of clambered up on the back
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp the creepy kimono agresses, but cannot reach you
the spotted imp ducks out of sight

(Not) Literally A Bird regrets putting that doll in the thing
(Not) Literally A Bird: can i reach the imp or
wait
can I jump on the imp
Wiwaxia (GM): I mean if you want to
(Not) Literally A Bird: like can I reach it without jumping on it?
Karrin Blue: So what should I be doing?
Ilmatar Nordwind: bird, youre in bird mode, not character mode
(Not) Literally A Bird: oh yeah oops
Leon Gaspar: here we go
Wiwaxia (GM): @ilmatar, here lemme check a thing
you can probably hit it without jumping if you step down onto the couch cushions
but then it can reach you
Leon Gaspar: alright, I edge close enough to the imp that it's within flail-reach and have a go at it
Wiwaxia (GM): roll twice, take the lowest
Leon Gaspar: rolling 2d20
(
19
+

)

you've gotta be shitting me
Wiwaxia (GM): ouch
Leon Gaspar: says leon

20 You miss. That's it. You just miss. You can keep going with your turn and everything.
)
= 20
nice
Leon Gaspar: phew
i'm laughing at the ya-done-fucked-up table, that's fantastic
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah one of the results on there is save or die
Leon Gaspar: i assume that's my turn over?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope you can still move
b/c you moved like less than a meter
Leon Gaspar: i get back up on the top of the couch. fuck you imp.
Wiwaxia (GM): which side of the couch?
this is important
Leon Gaspar: that side
Wiwaxia (GM): forgot to take the 4 hp off earlier
you feel a malaise lift slightly as you step away from the imp
and then come right back as it jumps onto the couch after you
rolling 1d20
(
14
)
= 14
Leon Gaspar notes this phenomenon
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah that hits
rolling 1d4
(
4
)
= 4
yikes
careful there
Leon Gaspar counts the metres between him and the bedroom
Wiwaxia (GM): you can give up your attack for another move if you want
Leon Gaspar: yeah i think im gonna do that
i assume that's my turn?
Wiwaxia (GM): @ilmatar, you try to make a bladed fan, but you need some kind of grist you haven't seen
yep
Leon Gaspar SLAM
Wiwaxia (GM): go ahead and move yourself
Ilmatar Nordwind: Naww shucks.
Do I see my mama around?
Myrtha Oscurr: ((COME ON AND SLAM))
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Leon Gaspar that was the door btw
Wiwaxia (GM): she must have wandered off
yep, figured
Leon Gaspar starts looking around for something to bar the door with
Wiwaxia (GM): and you've got enough movement to pull it off
Leon Gaspar rolls for it?
Wiwaxia (GM): um
Leon Gaspar: alternatively there's a table there
Wiwaxia (GM): 2 on d6 for some kinda bar
or table
Ilmatar Nordwind: (doors are a perfect bottlneck, fyi)
Leon Gaspar: alrighty
rolling 2d6
(
2
+
5
)
= 7
Wiwaxia (GM): for clarity, that was 2 or below on 1d6
but you got it
Leon Gaspar: oops
sorry i am not used to this system yet!
Wiwaxia (GM): there's one of those nice sturdy wooden coatrack bars in the closet
no worries, I'm still sorting stuff out myself!

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:48 AM

speaking og which, what's Lemi up to?
looking for candles again?
Lemi Malloy: Lemi is first taking Ilmatar
(darnit)
Leon Gaspar: nice, I jam it under the door handle and sit against the door
Lemi Malloy: 's advice and looks for her phone
Wiwaxia (GM): also question, is the door to the patio from the living room open?
leon
Leon Gaspar: NI: do NOT fight more than one imp at once
it wouldn't be, no
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Will keep that in mind
Wiwaxia (GM): Lemi's phone's fine
Leon Gaspar: unless tia's out there which i assume she's not
door is shut unless someone's on the patio
Wiwaxia (GM): just as well for you
Ilmatar, do you wanna ascend to the highest point of the house to look around?
Lemi Malloy: ag: @bi Success! thanks! :D
Alright, return to candlequest
I return to the storeroom
*storage room
Wiwaxia (GM): you pick up the grist as you walk over it
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: good to hear, lemi.
Hmm, highest point sounds good, but I want to wander around outside a little
Wiwaxia (GM): find roll for candles in the house of a survivalist is gonna be like 7 or lower on a d6
you get 2 good tapers by phonelight
wanna keep poking around for matches?
Lemi Malloy: yep!
Wiwaxia (GM): also, you hear things moving around downstairs
and steps on the stairs
@ilmatar, the cliff's about 30-35 meters straight down, then stormclouds
Lemi Malloy: How many steps? More than one set?
Wiwaxia (GM): just one
Leon Gaspar: (Leon is taking a moment to recover while his player goes and gets some tea)
Wiwaxia (GM): the cliff goes off like a ledge over the horizon in one direction
Ilmatar Nordwind: any paths? what does the surrounding area look like? (big cliff, small cliff-island, any others in seeing range?)
Wiwaxia (GM): but stops in a shorter cliff to the stairs in another
Ilmatar Nordwind: ooooh
Wiwaxia (GM): all you can see is a hu-fucking-mungous stepped pyramid mountain
Ilmatar Nordwind documents this with a couple of pictures
Lemi Malloy: I look for matches and keep an eye towards the stairs
Wiwaxia (GM): got em
Moss Kaplan: oh
whoops, my computer did a thing
just caught up again
ok, so last i remember, i shoved pointy garden tools in my sylladex and then i was gonna head to...the greenhouse area. while on the lookout for imps
Wiwaxia (GM): k
Lemi Malloy: Attempt to light candle!
Wiwaxia (GM): grace check, please
that is, 1d20+your entire grace score
Lemi Malloy: not just my + to grace?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, whole thing
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20+13
(
10
)+13
= 23
Wiwaxia (GM): between 21 and 25 is a narrow success
the light dwindles almost instantly, like the darkness is trying to press in on it and extinguish it, but you manage to will enough life back into the flame to light a candle
the shadows recoil into the corners of the small room
moss, you transportalize to the garden atrium
you're at the center of a cross
you can't see very far, there's vines draped over everything
Lemi Malloy: I hold the candle towards the stairs
Wiwaxia (GM): there's another hardwood imp at the head of the stairs
Myrtha Oscurr: co: How are you guys holding up?
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: no monsters, i am quite annoyed. lots of clouds and a strange ground, however
Moss Kaplan: sI: I found some old gardening tools that maybe you guys can use for weapons
sI: and a metric shitton of vines
Wiwaxia (GM): it's got raccoon paws, long, unkempt hair, and a leopard face
Moss Kaplan: sI: no monsters here either
Lemi Malloy: I set the candle down somewhere it hopefully won't get knocked down and charge at the imp!
Wiwaxia (GM): roll 1d6 for initative
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: oh, does anyone have [the grist i need for the bladed fan]?
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d6

Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20
(

)

Wiwaxia (GM): nope
gonna move?
it's light enough it can't realy hold you
@ ilmatar, welll no spirits, buuuut
Ilmatar Nordwind: well, i ran around some earlier but didnt get to move myself much on the map
Lemi Malloy: Can I grab the lit candle?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
that'll be your move action, though
Moss Kaplan: I make my way through the vines to try to get outside
Lemi Malloy: Alright I do that
Wiwaxia (GM): moss, are you pushing through or picking your way around?
also, which direction?
forward back right left
Moss Kaplan: Hm. Picking my way through. to... this way
Wiwaxia (GM): you see two dust imps ripping up vines
they haven't noticed you
Moss Kaplan: how dare they. i kick the one closest to me really hard
Wiwaxia (GM): k one sec
ok, it's got fins and leopard spots
roll
Myrtha, what are you up to?
Myrtha Oscurr: Alchemizing stuff, probably?
if there's enough grist
starting with computers
Wiwaxia (GM): there really isn't
Myrtha Oscurr: alright then
Wiwaxia (GM): also, I can't deal w/ alchemization midsession in practical terms
Myrtha Oscurr: picking off imps that are separate from groups

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:51 AM

Wiwaxia (GM): K
moss, lemme know what you're doing, I'll go populate myrtha's house so she can go geurilla
Moss Kaplan: rolling 1d8

Wiwaxia (GM): it's dead

but since it doesn't know you're there that doesn't apply
it sure as hell knows now though
Moss Kaplan: damn vines
Wiwaxia (GM): incidentally, it's wearing a kimono and shitty animu garb
Moss Kaplan: goddamn weeaboo imps
Wiwaxia (GM): and has a raccoon skull for a face
Myrtha Oscurr: goddamn weaboo goth imps
Ilmatar Nordwind: (ahahahhahahha)
Wiwaxia (GM): @myrtha your house is now full of imps if you wanna go imp hunting

may I suggest absconding?
Myrtha Oscurr: Oh hey, Wiwaxia, can Myrtha have snagged some gauntlets from the Armory?
Wiwaxia (GM): @moss, take 3 damage and the imp's attacking you
Lemi Malloy: I run back to my room with candle in hand and slam the door.
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20
(
2
)

the imp whiffs its attack vs. moss
myrtha lesse, gauntlets would be 1 in 6 +2 from guardian intreast?
so roll a 3 or lower

roll 2d20, take the lower
Moss Kaplan: rolling 2d20

(although you guys can subtract hp from yourselves, too)
myrtha, d6 roll to find gauntlets?

Wiwaxia (GM): leon and lemi, any ideas to break the seige?
Moss Kaplan: hm. run & kick?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, no gauntlets
Myrtha Oscurr: aww.
oh well.
Wiwaxia (GM): moss it's the imp's turn
Lemi Malloy assumes that throwing the candle at it would be a bad idea
Wiwaxia (GM): it slinks away into the vines
Lemi Malloy: Can I search my room for other makeshift ranged weapons?
Wiwaxia (GM): like what?
Moss Kaplan: aw.
is it done with its turn? can i still see it?
Wiwaxia (GM): yes and no, respectively
you might be able to see it with a sucessful grace check
Lemi Malloy: Maybe books? Or other heavy-ish thing like rocks?
Moss Kaplan: lessee, grace is 15 + 1
sooo
rolling d20 + 16
(

Leon Gaspar is reading through what he missed
Moss Kaplan: OH. ok
Leon Gaspar wait no has to brb again goddammit. can you roll20 on your phone
Wiwaxia (GM): you don't see it, but think it's going for an ambush rather than fleeing
I think so?
not sure
myrtha, are you going imp hunting?
Myrtha Oscurr: well
imp trapping
Moss Kaplan: Yeek. I'm moving back to the middle of the room and looking around again. high ground and all that
Myrtha Oscurr: stalking? I'm lying in wait and springing
Lemi Malloy: question: How wide are my book shelves compared to the height of the imps?
Wiwaxia (GM): moss, there's a transportalizer there
take it?
lemi, the imps are a little under a meter tall, so probably?
^larger
@myrtha, where are you goinf?
Myrtha Oscurr: Hmm
Moss Kaplan: Hm. can i just stand there and do another grace check, and if anything attacks, book it out of there?
either way, i figure the transportalizer is higher & clearer ground than the rest of the room
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: Well you have my icon in the great room
Lemi Malloy: Alright! I empty out one of the bookshelves, move anything else away from the door, and carefully tip the bookshelf over and push it in front of the door
wait
does the door open in or out

with the hair and everything
9 does not hit, sorry
Lemi Malloy: Can I use Hope power to get extra standard this turn?
Moss Kaplan: goddamn weeaboo goth furry imps
Wiwaxia (GM): go for it
@ moss 2 factors
last time you were next to it you took damage before it attacked
and it attacked you as you ran away
Lemi Malloy: alright, I swing at it with my hatchet!

Ilmatar Nordwind: I want to close the window in my room, but you cut off my part with a "buuut" I think, unless i misinterpreted that line and it was at someone else
if there's something in my room, i want to utilize terrain, because everythings narrow af and it's 1-on-1
Wiwaxia (GM): you no longer have a tv
yeah there's a couple imps in there
bismuth and rust
hold on while I get prototypings
Lemi Malloy: oh hey need to roll 3rd part of crit fail
?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, b/c you had a weapon

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:52 AM

Ilmatar Nordwind: (brb procuring some kind of breakfast)
Wiwaxia (GM): turn's over though unless you use your hope thing for another action
moss, what are you doing?
Lemi Malloy: Didn't I already use Hope thing?
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, but that was just your normal action
you crit failed before you could use your hope action
so I think it makes sense for that to bust the crit fail-turn ends thing
Ilmatar Nordwind: (back)
Wiwaxia (GM): k lemme get you your imps
Moss Kaplan: Oh!
technically i was rereading the rules regarding moves
I'm kicking it. aiming for chest. center mass
Lemi Malloy: Could I use hope turn to retrieve hatchet?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
moss, you already attacked
you just have a move left
Lemi Malloy: Alright I grab my hatchet
Moss Kaplan: oh! hang on, i think i got some things out of order in my head
i'm moving away from it
Wiwaxia (GM): trying to get past it to transportalizer or away into vines?
@ilmatar
Ilmatar Nordwind: oh, they're on the stairs? how nice
Moss Kaplan: transportalizer, moving around imp

Lemi Malloy: ahahahaha oh shit
I just remembered that I specifically noted that her tv was an old one that's not a flatscreen
which would mean crt, right?
Leon Gaspar: yes it would!
Ilmatar Nordwind: Now that's just not nice. I peeked into my room earlier, were any imps in there?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Moss Kaplan: aight.
can i make an argument for IMPACT self-defense ground kick?
or does being tripped just kill my turn
Wiwaxia (GM): @ lemi did you use your hopey thing to grab your axe again?
tripped kills your turn unless you take the damage instead
Moss Kaplan: ok! that works then :D
Ilmatar Nordwind: I retreat to my room, and have the door leaned. if anything follows me in there, i'll know
Wiwaxia (GM): k can you move there?
Leon Gaspar: (i will let you guys finish strifing before doing anything else i think. otherwise it's gonna get real crowded in here. #dontsplittheparty #bekindtoyourGM)
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Lemi Malloy: it depends on if axe hitting a crt television would cause flying glass everywhere but yes I said I did
Wiwaxia (GM): y'all should probably plan to meet up
it will make your lives much easier
yep, glass everywhere
let's say 50% of 1 damage if you move incaustiously in tat area until it's swept up?
speaking of which
rolling 1d2
(
2
)
= 2
Wiwaxia (GM): imp avoids the damage
rolling 1d20+1
(
2
)+1
= 3
and bites precicely jack shit
moss, take 1 damage
Lemi Malloy: a) is the candle on the table and b) is imp within thrusting distance?
Wiwaxia (GM): and the imp is jabbing you
rolling 1d20
(
10
)
= 10
what's your def, moss?
@lemi yes and yes
Ilmatar Nordwind: I just got an idea. Ima slam the door into the next imp that comes to me
Moss Kaplan: def is...10
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar, how far is the drop off the side of the stairs where the bismuth imp is now?
yeah that hits
rolling 1d4
(
2
)
= 2
2 more damage
Lemi Malloy: I grab the candle and jab it at him, hoping that wood imp= weak to fire
roll to hit?
Wiwaxia (GM): 1d20, as usual
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20
(

Wiwaxia (GM): that hits!
damage is 1d6-2
b/c improvised
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d6-2
(

)-2
= 1
Wiwaxia (GM): and the imp screams and recoils
Ilmatar Nordwind: the blue one? is it on the 4th or the 3rd step from top? each step 25 cm, so about 2-2.5m
Wiwaxia (GM): doesn't look like the candle did any extra damage, but the imp sure didn't seem to like it
okay, it's light so it can probably jump that without damage
comes in the door
Ilmatar Nordwind: or did you mean to the top floor? b/c then its less than a metre
the second its in the frame i slam the door into its face
Wiwaxia (GM): oh I see, wa backwards
recalculating
can't quite get to the door then
wait for it?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ayup
Wiwaxia (GM): k

Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): b/c you are not next to it
it jumps back into the hallway
Ilmatar Nordwind: naw shucks
open door again, but i stay in the doors guard
Wiwaxia (GM): lemi, are you moving?
Ilmatar Nordwind: (and those rolls is why i test my own dice before i buy em)
Wiwaxia (GM): moss, you're on the ground
's a move action to get up
what do?
bismuth imp charges in like you didn't just slam the door in it's face
roll
Ilmatar Nordwind: me, 1d20?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Lemi Malloy: um yeah I put the table between us
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): like so lemi?

Moss Kaplan: shit son
Lemi Malloy: yeah like so
Wiwaxia (GM): I'm curious, have you guys figured out what's up with the yet?
rolling 1d2
(

)
= 1
Ilmatar Nordwind: i know of no mystery
Wiwaxia (GM): imp gets sliced by glass charging at lemi
Ilmatar Nordwind: aka ilmatar doesnt, no one told her. whimsy has a hunch
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20+1
(
7
)+1
= 8
hardwood imp whiffs the bite again
Leon Gaspar: Leon also hasn't guessed, but Bird has theories
mostly to do with the fact that we all prototyped the creepiest shit we could get our hands on
goddammit guys
Wiwaxia (GM): @moss, standing up or crawling away or?
Ilmatar Nordwind: same thing that attacked ilmatar ::/ possibly the breee, somehow pissed.
otherwise, wonky prototyping combination that is self-destructing
Lemi Malloy: Lemi thrusts candle at imp once again!
Wiwaxia (GM): roll to attack?
Moss Kaplan: hey man, don't look at me, i prototyped a fucking vine
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20
(

)
= 4
Leon Gaspar: :P yes except for you
Wiwaxia (GM): nope.jpeg
moving?
Moss Kaplan: uh, imp is still in between me and transportalizer, right?
Lemi Malloy: Can I make it to the closet?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope @ moss
you got to the other side before it tripped you
Lemi Malloy: and my to I mean inside
Leon Gaspar leon continues to ponder. when the mysterious force governing his actions has a moment, he will probably try to look around for something with which to restore his health.
Wiwaxia (GM): @lemi yep
Lemi Malloy: *by
Moss Kaplan: well then, i'm transportalizing myself the shit out of here.
Wiwaxia (GM): @ leon sleeping would do it
Moss Kaplan: Uh, up to my room, as it is far away
Leon Gaspar: Alright, I'm going to triple-check that the door is fully barred. I'm also gonna check the window to the patio because there's pm no way there's not imps out there
Wiwaxia (GM): you crawl away slowly and guardedly enough that you can block te dust imps attack as you retreat
there are no imps out there
yet
@moss where are you transportalizing?
oop, missed that
Lemi Malloy: can I slam the door closed behind me?
Wiwaxia (GM): k, you're at the transportalizing room, with the stairs going up to your room
Moss Kaplan: grace check for creepy-ass imps?
Leon Gaspar: well, I can't really go anywhere with my health like this, so ... I'm gonna hide under my blanket and try for a ~10 minute nap, and pray to anyone listening that imps don't jump me while i'm asleep
Wiwaxia (GM): @ lemi, probably not, given that you just attacked the thing
Lemi Malloy: mk
Wiwaxia (GM): imp comes in after you
do you think glass wouldv'e gotten to that side of the room?
@ilmatar
Lemi Malloy: I just watched a youtube video and the glass can get pretty far
Wiwaxia (GM): i think the bismuth imp probably got into the room after that last slam
k, can you roll 1d2 to see if you got cut by glass?
rolling 1d2
(
2
)
= 2
imp did not
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d2
(

)
= 1
Wiwaxia (GM): you did
take 1 damage
Ilmatar Nordwind: oh well, but at least the rust imp is shut out for now, and i only have to deal with one of them. i point my closed fan forward.
"Engarde!"
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20+1
(

)+1
= 11
yeah that hits
rolling 1d4
(

)
= 3
and I think that puts you at 0 with one overflow?
Lemi Malloy: yeeep
Ilmatar Nordwind: (oh dear)

Wiwaxia (GM) pulls out Death and Dismemberment table
Wiwaxia (GM): fortunately, 1 overflow damage is grace period
you got a bruise
it hurts like the dickens
Lemi Malloy: dammit!
can I still fight?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
you can fight as long as you can stand
Lemi Malloy: Can I attempt to shove him onto the glass stricken ground?
stricken isn't the right word
Wiwaxia (GM): strewn
and sure
Ilmatar Nordwind: covered ::D
Lemi Malloy: thank you
alright I try that!
Wiwaxia (GM): k, grappling time
imp gets a free jab at you as you engage
if it hits you can either take the damage and grapple or break off the attack
Myrtha Oscurr: ugh, it's past midnight here
Wiwaxia (GM): then contested grappling which the poor fucker has no chance at
Myrtha Oscurr: i'm going to bed
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20

Karrin Blue: sorry!

Moss Kaplan: oh, right, uh, grace check on my way up to my room?
Wiwaxia (GM): suggest that you break off the attack, Lemi
Lemi Malloy: yeah I am gonna do that
Wiwaxia (GM): @moss go for it
Moss Kaplan: rolling 1d20
(

)
= 8
Wiwaxia (GM): + grace
Moss Kaplan: oops
that makes it 23 unless you want reroll
Wiwaxia (GM): @Lemi, are you gonna try to run for it?
or lure it out onto the glass?
Lemi Malloy: Can I try to run out of the closet and shut the door on it?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
moss, nothing around, but you see some imps slowly climbing up the vines on the side of the tower
you don't know if they'll try to come into your rooom, though
@Ilmatsr
Moss Kaplan: shnikes. i get to my room with plans of barricading the shit out of it
Lemi Malloy: Alright, I shut the door under it, reach for one of the chairs and try to use that to jam under the doorknob
Wiwaxia (GM): bismuth imp moves across to your desk then leaps at you
Ilmatar Nordwind: rude! do i get an opportunity attack because it needs to flit by me, or is it too fast?
Wiwaxia (GM): you're gonna need to get opportunity attacks special with an alchemized weapon or something
Ilmatar Nordwind: kk
Wiwaxia (GM): they don't come default, although you may have noticed a few imps have tjem
Moss Kaplan: uh, can i toss some furniture in my room quick?
Wiwaxia (GM): @ lemi, you are sucessful!
Ilmatar Nordwind: i hold my fan in a way that the imp should impale itself on it if it leaps on me, holding with both hands
Wiwaxia (GM): what do you do now?
roll 1d20+1
rolling 1d20+1
(

)+1

Lemi Malloy: Alright! I very carefully wince my way over, place candle on the table, shut the door, and retrieve my axe
Wiwaxia (GM): the bismuth imp soars majestically over your head and into the stovepipe
Ilmatar Nordwind: wi, can you @ the people who are supposed to roll? im a tad too tired to discern if im supposed to roll if theres no @ and 3 battles ongoing
Wiwaxia (GM): (To GM) rolling 1d4
(

)
= 4
Wiwaxia (GM): gotcha
Ilmatar Nordwind: i wheel around
Wiwaxia (GM): that roll up there was me trying and failing to /roll, though
are you gonna stab it while it's under you, or move away?
Ilmatar Nordwind: it's under me? then i stab it with my full body weight
Wiwaxia (GM): @lemi, ok what next?
@ilmatar, okay, roll twice and take the lower
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 2d20

Wiwaxia (GM): you feel a malevolent presence sweep yout blow to the side
Lemi Malloy: does it sound like the imp is struggling?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
@ilmatar, are you moving?
@moss what are you doing barricade-wise?
Ilmatar Nordwind: Presence, show thyself!
i move with the back to the door, crouching
Lemi Malloy: I look for something I can use to sweep/ gather up the glass
Wiwaxia (GM): thereabouts?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ayup
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp floats up to vertical
screams in your face
and bites at you
Moss Kaplan: asking if you wouldn't mind if i tossed some furniture in here
late notice and all
and then trying to figure out the darn draw function on this doohickey
Wiwaxia (GM): sure, goahead

(To GM) rolling 1d2

are you moving?
@lemi, sweeping up?
where are you starting?
Ilmatar Nordwind: "Whichever spirit aided me, I thank you."
i attack again.
Wiwaxia (GM): if you attack again immediately, the imp will get a hit in first
still attacking?
Lemi Malloy: starting from the area nearest the former tv and sweeping everything in front of the closet?
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp crawls out of your broken tv
Ilmatar Nordwind: Would waiting enable me to dodge its next attack / attack again before it?
Wiwaxia (GM): no, but it would get you out of the range of it's ambient damage malevolence
Lemi Malloy: FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKTHISGUY

Ilmatar Nordwind: (i input 1 if that was correct)
Wiwaxia (GM): that was, yep
Ilmatar Nordwind: slam into wall ::D crush it between my fairyness and a storm wall
Wiwaxia (GM): @Lemi, you have also avoided being stunned and knocked over, but you have -2 to every roll you make for the next 1d4 turns
(after this turn roll 1d4, if you get a 1, you're free, otherwise roll 1d3 next turn and so on)
Lemi Malloy: (alright)
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar, you feel the dedidely odd sensation of gaming abstractions being poofed out of physical existence on your back
Ilmatar Nordwind: (irl giggling)
Lemi Malloy: (is it my turn against the imp?)
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Ilmatar Nordwind: A-hahaha, forces of fairies 1, forces of grues, 0
Lemi Malloy: I attempt to jump off the bed and hit it with my axe in a downward strike that most definitely won't go wrong
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: fairies 1, grues 0
Wiwaxia (GM): oh incidentally, all further damage against lemi counts as 1 higher for the purposes of the Death and Dismemberment Table until you heal
k, roll for it

Ilmatar Nordwind: not now
i received quite a bit of damage
i want to check if theres anything coming up to the window first
and then check for bruises, cuts, etc. do i have a first aid kit in my room?
Wiwaxia (GM): you are completely unharmed because your hp was not depleted!
unlike poor Lemi
whose turn it is again, incidentally
Lemi Malloy: I charge at it with my axe while crying, probably
rolling 1d20-2

Wiwaxia (GM): there's nothing coming up, but you do see some piles of grist along the cliffside
nice!
a crit's still a crit no matter what penalties you've got
you do 8+1d8! (exploding) damage
Ilmatar Nordwind: along the cliffside? hm. i'd need to take on the rust imp first, though.
how is my fan holding up?
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d8+8
(
1
)+8
= 9
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah it's dead
very dead
is your fan paper or cloth?
incidentally, you get exp for damage taken, so lemi's gonna make out like a bandit

Can I fall asleep?
Wiwaxia (GM): he slept dreamlessly, as always
yeah, you're frankly exhausted
are you sleeping?
Lemi Malloy: yes
Wiwaxia (GM): can I get a grace check to awaken on Derse?
you took enough of a beating to potentially trigger that, I think

Leon Gaspar yawns
Moss Kaplan:
and i weight down trapdoor with bed
as for the final window, i close the shutters if i have them, and scatter the gardening tools i grabbed from mom's room on the floor in front of it
Wiwaxia (GM): hm, narrow success
Moss Kaplan: oh apparently character limit for messages
shrugs
Leon Gaspar: I go and check the window again!
Leon Gaspar is paranoid that there will be imps everywhere
Wiwaxia (GM): no imps on the balcony
Moss Kaplan: sI: Well, I am going to pass the hell out. Is everyone else safe?
Wiwaxia (GM): but it sounds like a lot more have infiltrated the apartment while you slept
Leon Gaspar: NI: still kinda sore, but not too bad. stay safe
Wiwaxia (GM): hmm
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: theres still at least one of them around these parts, but i think i'll manage, together with the kind spirit inhabiting these lands who so kindly came to my aid
Leon Gaspar: NI: i've got no idea how i'm gonna get out of here, shit
Ilmatar Nordwind: wi, did any grist drop from the imp i smashed against the wall? or did i pick it up too fast to see any?
bi: two words: explosive runes
Leon Gaspar: NI: one word: what
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar the latter
Ilmatar Nordwind: (bird, have you read order of the stick?)
Wiwaxia (GM): 16 build 7 bismuth
Leon Gaspar: (nope haha)
Ilmatar Nordwind: ah. was the bismuth grist the one i need for the bladed fan?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
rust would be a good guess
Ilmatar Nordwind: (it's a reference i thought would fit well with leon, who knows a bit about runes. its a wizard spell, prepare in the morning, draw somewhere, the second anyone deciphers it it goes BOOM)
Leon Gaspar: (nice! :P)
Ilmatar Nordwind: so the imp in the hallway.
as ive said, i cautiously open the door, and peek into the hallway. do i see anything?
bi: and you call yourself learned.
Wiwaxia (GM): can I get a grace check Ilmatar
Ilmatar Nordwind: 1d20+grace stat, or 1d20+grace modifier?
Wiwaxia (GM): grace stat

well
that was a fumble if ever i saw one
-shakes fist at rng-
Wiwaxia (GM): you blithely walk out into the hallway to look around, and the rust imp drops from the ceiling onto your head
Ilmatar Nordwind: (asdfg)
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF
Leon Gaspar: okay I am going to verrrrry cautiously peek through the keyhole to get an idea of how many imps there are in the apartment; if I can't see anything I will even more cautiously remove the bar and crack open the door
Ilmatar Nordwind: i flail my fan over my head

bad luck

and takes 2 damage
which kills it
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: fairies: 2, grues: 0
do i hear any more imps?
Wiwaxia (GM): not right now
leon, you see a party of imps totally trashing your kitchen

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 3:58 AM

Ilmatar Nordwind: (i tip the window in my room, check that all other windows are closwed and have the wind shields over them, do the same on ground floor, go outside to check out the grist near the cliff, and close the door behind me
Leon Gaspar: i cloooooose the door and bar it again
NI: shit shit shit
Leon Gaspar really does not want to die at this point
Wiwaxia (GM): there's some rust around the grist, so you guess it must have come from imps too?
maybe your mama killed them
lemme see how much grist it is, one sex
*sec
Ilmatar Nordwind: i photo it and pick iut up
can i connect to other websites, or is just our chat programme still online`?
Wiwaxia (GM): you can connect to other websites
but mostly all anyone's doing is liveblogging the fucking meteor armageddon
Ilmatar Nordwind: i post the photos i made earlier on my dA. various captions re: land of wotan, a trace, etc etc
Wiwaxia (GM): okay I'm gonna tally up all that grist later
you do find a new kind though
phosphorous
inside a ring of scorch marks
Ilmatar Nordwind: huh
Leon Gaspar: (how're you guys going btw? i'm considering starting clearing out these imps but it could take a while)
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: i would come to your aid if i could, but i do not know if you have the necessary utensils to summon me, leon
Leon Gaspar: NI: yeah i don't think so. unless tia has something for summoning breeze fairies. which to be fair i wouldn't put past her
NI: you holding up alright?
Ilmatar Nordwind: (wi, does my character recognize the stuff all around her as bismuth? oh hell, ima just look up all the grist names)
Wiwaxia (GM): incidentally, leon knows that the way to meet up is via gates
b/c walkthrough
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: quite! the rusty ones are frail, but watch out for the bismuth ones, they exude an evil aura
Leon Gaspar: NI: it'd be nice if sera was around to help me get up to the gates :/
(duly noted!)
NI: ah thanks!
NI: i've got yellow ones mostly
NI: amber i think
Wiwaxia (GM): *amber, btw
yep
Leon Gaspar: NI: alright im gonna try to take a couple out. hopefully i can just slam my door in their faces if it gets too much .... wish me luck
Wiwaxia (GM): attacking?
Leon Gaspar: yeah, i think so
Wiwaxia (GM): you get a surprise round
Leon Gaspar: potentially a bad idea but i can't just sit here
Wiwaxia (GM): lemme roll up prototypings
Leon Gaspar: alright, I'll head for the door...
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: i hope your land's spirit will come to your aid as it has come to mine. i think i shall explore some
Leon Gaspar: NI: that'd be nice haha
Ilmatar Nordwind: (i take a quick peek down the stairs, do i see anything of interest?)
Wiwaxia (GM): the closest one to you has a burial kimono and a raccoon skull
Leon Gaspar: alright. those four in the kitchen, can they see the two in the living room?
Wiwaxia (GM): the two on the counter can
Leon Gaspar: not that i really plan on leaving the doorway but it's good to know
alright, got it
Wiwaxia (GM): oh jees
this one's loaded
one sec
Leon Gaspar: am i going to regret everything
Wiwaxia (GM): burial kimono, carrying a flag, has leopard spots and face, fins and a raccoon skull
Leon Gaspar: oh goody
Wiwaxia (GM): what's your plan?
Leon Gaspar: plan is sneak out of room, smack skull/kimono dude with flail, retreat back to the bottleneck and take 'em out one at a time
Wiwaxia (GM): k
Leon Gaspar: i feel like asking you if this is a good plan isn't going to get me any answers
Wiwaxia (GM): d20+2(b/c sneak attack) roll twice, take the lowest
Leon Gaspar: alrighty
Wiwaxia (GM): it will not, no
Leon Gaspar: yeah figured
rolling (2d20)+2
((
9
+
10
))+2
= 21
wait that isn't right
Wiwaxia (GM): that hits!
Leon Gaspar: sweet!
aaand 1d8? or 2d8
Wiwaxia (GM): 1d8
Leon Gaspar: sorry dice rolls get me all muddled up
rolling 1d8
(
1
)
= 1
god damn it
Wiwaxia (GM): oof
Leon Gaspar: at least it hit this time
leon's having a bad time
Wiwaxia (GM): that one bolts
Leon Gaspar: bye nerd
(sorry for all the ooc)
Wiwaxia (GM): you take 3 damage from an evil presence
Leon Gaspar: how're the others looking? have they noticed me?
well fuck
Leon Gaspar regrets everything
Wiwaxia (GM): or wait not yet, sorry
roll 1d6 for initiative
rolling 1d6
(
5
)
= 5
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d6
(
6
)
= 6
Wiwaxia (GM): okay, you get to go again before all that shit happens
Leon Gaspar: well at least one thing has gone right for me today
Wiwaxia (GM): consider it a Sight of Time
Leon Gaspar: :^)
Wiwaxia (GM): note that you should measure around the counter unless you plan to youth roll over it
Leon Gaspar: fair point
Wiwaxia (GM): of course, you've got enough dex to manage, probably
Leon Gaspar: that is true
although there's current an imp on it...
Wiwaxia (GM): succesful youth roll will get you past the imp
Leon Gaspar: alright, let's do this.
i'm gonna try to youth roll over the counter and out the door
Wiwaxia (GM): k
roll 1d20+your entire dex
also, where are you going over the counter?
right
so roll twice, take the lower
Leon Gaspar: trying to make a straight line
also is entire dex including the +1?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, that's the modifier
Leon Gaspar: rolling 2d20+13
(
17
+
8
)+13
= 38
Wiwaxia (GM): 8+13
Leon Gaspar: i am not yet good at doing the rolls
Wiwaxia (GM): 21
yep!
you make it
it's a narrow success, though, so mr. raccoon skull takes a swipe at you as you go
k m.: Ok, it's 2am here
I gotta go to sleep
this is way past my bedtime
have fun y'all, talk to youse later
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20
(
1
)
= 1
Leon Gaspar: fair enough dude, sleep tight
Wiwaxia (GM): ooooooooooooooooooooooh
Leon Gaspar: im laughing
Wiwaxia (GM): night!
rolling 1t[The-Ya-Done-Fucked-Up-Table]
(
15 - 16 You drop whatever you were holding. Whoops. If you weren't holding anything, you can't use whatever you were attacking with for one round.
)
= 15
Lemi Malloy: goodnght!
Ilmatar Nordwind: (n8)
Leon Gaspar: is that me or the imp
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp
Leon Gaspar: pfft
Wiwaxia (GM): it's the one that fumbled
it punched the counter
you should move your line
K, youve got an attack or another move left
Leon Gaspar: alright lemme think
(sorry my brain is kinda slow today)
Wiwaxia (GM): @illmatar, moss we're probably gonna call it wraps after leon's thing, so start thinking of alchemizations you wanna try?
and poking around for things to alchemize with
the more specific, the better
wait moss went to bed
Ilmatar Nordwind: i'm going to shoot you some stuff via kintsugi, ok?
Wiwaxia (GM): k!
Leon Gaspar im so sorry my brain is not working and i really don't wanna die yet!
Wiwaxia (GM): you could always shut the door
Leon Gaspar: well yes
actually yeah i'm just gonna do that
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
Leon Gaspar: now i am no longer apartmentstuck
Wiwaxia (GM): congrats!
Leon Gaspar: but i also do not have access to my apartment
NI: i will come back for you, imps.
Wiwaxia (GM): the hallway you are in looks a lot like your apartment building
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: you show em :)
Wiwaxia (GM): but abandonded to the wind and rain for a few years
Leon Gaspar: also, is the grist from that amber imp still here?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Leon Gaspar: sweet! i'll go ahead and graaaab that
NI: haha thank you, i will
NI: man this place looks ... different
NI: i don't know why that surprises me
Wiwaxia (GM): also, the whole building above your apartment is gone
Leon Gaspar: NI: wonder if tia's around? she shoulda been on her way home
Wiwaxia (GM): just some twisted, rusting beams
and the gates spinning their way off into the sky
Leon Gaspar: NI: well at least those are where they're supposed to be
NI: ugh. what am i gonna do
Wiwaxia (GM): something comes up through the floor behind you and lets out a bonechilling scream
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: look beyond your horizon, and answers shall come to you
bi: or, what can you do, at this moment?
Leon Gaspar: Leon drops his phone and spins around!
Wiwaxia (GM): ITS A GHOST RIGHT OUT OF ONE OF YOUR TIA'S JAPANESE HORROR MOVIES
oooooor, it's your sprite
Leon Gaspar: NOOOOOOOO
...
.......
LEON: wait aren't you
LEON: you're that...flashy thing
Wiwaxia (GM): it screams at you again
it sounds approximately like the auditory representation of a bunch of horror movie gifs
Leon Gaspar: I carefully crouch and pick up my phone again without looking away from the sprite. I mean, it doesn't seem to be hurting me...right now
I am thoroughly unsettled.
Ilmatar Nordwind: (wi, drop me a note when youve wrapped up leon, i posted something farther up but it seems like you overlooked it)
Wiwaxia (GM): you recall that your walkthrough mentioned that sometimes sprites need to be double-prototyped to be intelligible
also, it screams at you again
Leon Gaspar: okay, okay, jeez! i'll find something to prototype you with
except i just locked myself out of my own apartment
Wiwaxia (GM): it bobs away from you a bit and hangs there
Leon Gaspar: I take a look around my surroundings. Is there anything lying in the hallway? Bits of debris, trash, things dropped or left behind?
(and what should I roll to find them?)
Wiwaxia (GM): roll x or lower on d6 where x is determined by genericness/rarity
there's also other apartments around
Leon Gaspar: true. (should we do this now or save it for next time? how're you going?)
Wiwaxia (GM): next time, I think, but you can keep poking around and exploring a bit more
Leon Gaspar: alright, sounds good. i'm going to check out the apartment opposite mine
Ilmatar Nordwind: Wi, i mentioned earlier i wanted to peek down the cliffstairs. do i see anything interesting?
Leon Gaspar: But first I listen at the door! I do not want to get attacked by imps again.
Wiwaxia (GM): @ilmatar you see a bunch of spirographs floating above your house
down the mountain it's pretty much just cliff or steps all the way to the storm coulds
up the mountain, you can see som e faint pink lines on top of some of the steps
Ilmatar Nordwind: hm
Wiwaxia (GM): and the whole thing gradually shades from blue to green to gold to purple
you can't see the top. it's behind the horizon
Ilmatar Nordwind: I'll head back into the house, pack a sturdy rucksack with some food and water.
how tired am i?
Wiwaxia (GM): well, you just bashed two imps into walls, so you're fairly beat
Ilmatar Nordwind: then i'll burrow in my blanket pile
Wiwaxia (GM): also not that if you're away from your house you are away from alchemizing and power
Ilmatar Nordwind: although, i should prolly ward my window against entry
Wiwaxia (GM): leon: coast's clear
the door's locked, but the wood's rotten
Leon Gaspar: alright, I try to push through the rotten wood enough to squeeze inside
Ilmatar Nordwind: i'll keep it tipped, but draw some protective runes on the frame with chalk, sprinkle some salt on the sill, and light a candle
Wiwaxia (GM): it's the same layout as your apartment, but reversed
there's a tv opposite you filled with hissing static
Ilmatar Nordwind: grab something comfy to sleep in, hang my wings at the door, and burrow into my blankets and sleep
Leon Gaspar frowns at the TV. nothing better come crawling outta that

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:01 AM

Leon Gaspar: I'm also beat, so although I want to find something for my sprite, I decide to head for this apartment's master bedroom
I am however going to glance around and see if there's any indication of what its owner was into (as in, the equivalent of Tia having horror props everywhere = being into horror films)
Wiwaxia (GM): can't see anything of the like
just standard dilapidated apartment furnishings
Leon Gaspar: Welp, worth a shot
Wiwaxia (GM): all the screen are displaying hissing static, too
*screens
Leon Gaspar: sighs @ chrome
Alright. I attempt to turn off the TV in the master bedroom (assuming there is one)
Wiwaxia (GM): you unplug it
this does nothing
Leon Gaspar: :/
Leon is uncomfortable
Wiwaxia (GM): there's a newspaper on the bedstand, but it's too water-damaged to read
Leon Gaspar: Attempt to combine CREEPYSPRITE with NEWSPAPER.
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20
(
13
)
= 13
creepysprite makes its save, dodges and goes through the wall
Leon Gaspar: Well it was worth a try.
Listen, if you find something you want to combine with, you show me, alright?
I'm gonna get some rest.
I look around for something to bar the main door with.
Wiwaxia (GM): the coatracks like you used before are too rotten here
anything else you want to try to look for?
Leon Gaspar: In terms of barring the doors or otherwise?
the bedside tables could work if they're still solid.
Wiwaxia (GM): for barring the door, but you can look around otherwise, too
legs are bad, but they're still solid planks of wood
Leon Gaspar: that'll do! I jam them against the door and under the handle as best I can.
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
you gonna do anything with the staticy TV?
Leon Gaspar: I'm slightly scared to smash it in case something comes crawling out
does it detach from the wall?
Wiwaxia (GM): you could always throw it out the window
Leon Gaspar: i'll take that as a yes :P
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah it's just on a stand/table thing
Leon Gaspar: alright, open window --> pick up TV --> throw TV out window --> close window again
Wiwaxia (GM): ...
.........
........
......
smash
splash
Wiwaxia (GM): it's a long way down
Leon Gaspar: I peer out the window
Wiwaxia (GM): you can see what look like befinned imps swimming in the water a long ways down
and a rowboat trailing v-shaped ripples in the still water
Leon Gaspar: Well that's something Future Leon can deal with. ooh a rowboat
Wiwaxia (GM): and more highways standing out of the water in the distance
Leon Gaspar: i squint and try to make out what's in the rowboat
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah you'll need nocs or something for that
Leon Gaspar: yeah figurd
Ilmatar Nordwind: im going to sleep irl now
n8
Leon Gaspar: alright! with that done, i'm gonna go ahead and collapse on the bed and continue to hope that nothing kills me in my sleep
n8 friend
Wiwaxia (GM): night!
Lemi Malloy: goodnight!
Leon Gaspar: probably while hiding under the covers
Wiwaxia (GM): k, I think that's a wrap!
I'm gonna tally up exp, now
Leon Gaspar: nice!
Lemi Malloy: alright!
Wiwaxia (GM): you can hang around for that if you like,
Leon Gaspar: well at least i'm not surrounded by imps any more
that was stressful
Wiwaxia (GM): and poke me about alchemization
Leon Gaspar: sorry i'm a bit slow >.>
Wiwaxia (GM): haha, no worries
Lemi Malloy: yeah same here
Wiwaxia (GM): good thing you didn't get the same kind lemi did, though
Lemi Malloy: wrt slow
Leon Gaspar: that is very true, i would be very dead
alright, i was going to try to combine scythe+flail for bladeflail, or if myrtha found tasers in her list of weapons, taser+flail for electricflail
although i'm slightly not in my apartment
Arxon: Things that could have gone better for Lemi: A lot. A lot of things.
Leon Gaspar: such is the way of sburb
Wiwaxia (GM): k, starting with lemi
Leon Gaspar: alternatively I will save my buildgrist and try to start building my client upwards to their gate
assuming i can't get to my equipment from where i am
Wiwaxia (GM): 100 exp for seeing an imp
Arxon: (should I add exp to sheet?)
Wiwaxia (GM): after I'm done tallying, yeah
Arxon: alright
Wiwaxia (GM): deals 5 damage
takes 6 damage
takes 3 damage
deals 1 damage
takes 1 damage
takes 3 damage
Wiwaxia (GM): takes 1 damage
takes 5 damage
takes 2 damage
deals 9 damage
so total 35 damage dealt/taken
*10
Wiwaxia (GM): and then that again as bonus xp because those were all solo fights
so grand total 800 experience
for Lemi
told you she'd make out like a bandit
Arxon: yay!
Wiwaxia (GM): that's 80% of the way to level 2
Arxon: Anger at dice somewhat lessened
Wiwaxia (GM): which reminds me, I need to make echeladder titles for y'all before next time
that's the beauty of the damage to xp setup!
leon next:
takes 4 damage
takes 4 damage
deals 1 damage
Wiwaxia (GM): 9 damage total
-->180 exp
+100 for seeing your first imp
280 exp
moss:
Leon Gaspar: thumbs up
alright i'm gonna leave you guys to it. see ya next week!
Wiwaxia (GM): deals 1 damage
takes 3 damage
takes 3 damage
takes 4 damage
takes 1 damage
takes 2 damage
Wiwaxia (GM): total 14 --> 280 exp
+100 for first im
380 exp
oh,shoulda pointed it out at the start of the session, but there should be a notes sheet that people can edi if they wanna speculate on what the deal is with various imps
Ilmatar:
takes 4 damage
Wiwaxia (GM): takes 2 damage
deals 3 damage
takes 2 damage
Arxon: I'm also logging off
thank you!
Wiwaxia (GM): night!
deals 1 damage

whimsy: rolling 1d6

Karrin Blue: Heyo
Wiwaxia (GM): hello!
Karrin Blue: Wiwaxia I don't think you got back to me on grist costs?
Wiwaxia (GM): they're under handouts
Karrin Blue: alrighty!
And the headband computer?
Wiwaxia (GM): oh! forgot about that one
one sec
there ya go
Karrin Blue: believe I had 20 grist?
and only basic grist too
Wiwaxia (GM): 20 build, yeah
Karrin Blue: ...so I can't actually make anything
Wiwaxia (GM): ilmatar has almost enouth build grist to get gristtorrent, though
which I heavily recommend she does
whimsy: morning
Wiwaxia (GM): hallo!
gristtorrent is 100 build, btw
Karrin Blue: and then we can all share?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
whimsy: a) how much are item cards
b) you still havent told me the item costs? (prolly trying bot && and ||)
ugh, i feel tired xx_xx
k m.: oh right
hi all
(found a fanfiction so i'm a little flakey rn)
whimsy: heh ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): @whimsy, item costs are waiting for you in the alchemy excursus
only && for now, though
whimsy: ah
Wiwaxia (GM): and captcha cards are 1 of any grist, if that's what you were asking?
I assume you'll just make as many as you need, so I'm not bothering to track em
although I could, if people want
whimsy: ok
oh wow, i probably shouldve defined "something suitably stabby and pretty" as less halberd and more floret or dagger oo00
that or you know my character better than i do
Wiwaxia (GM): well, there's also the kitchen knife + fan combo
whimsy: ye, but he kitchen knife is not pretty and ren-fairy-e (deliberate pun)
Wiwaxia (GM): point
whimsy: flower crown && phone?
(also, 1d6 to see if i have a folder i can try to cross with an inventory card to make an inventory card folder?)
Wiwaxia (GM): eh, 5 out of 6
whimsy: i was thinking along the lines of trading card folder, those are not that common unless youre collecting trading cards
rolling 1d6
(
4
)
= 4
Wiwaxia (GM): ah, I was thinking manilla folder, sorry
trading card folder would be 2 or lower on d6 by the syllable rule
whimsy: hmm, ilmatar seems to shape up to "do i have this really rad thing? no? ok, how can i come closest to what i have envisioned with the stuff i have lying about?"
Wiwaxia (GM): well some of your rune fans will be pretty rad
when you can afford them
Karrin Blue: ooh, runes?
whimsy: i tried crossing runes with my fan
some of the prices are damn near ridiculous ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): you should be able to see ilmatar's stuff in the alchemy excursus, too
Karrin Blue: once we have more grist I might ask for that..
wait, what's the first one do?
whimsy: i can totally send you the code for my bag of runes ::D
wi, were those glass or bone?
Karrin Blue: ihwaz?
Wiwaxia (GM): let's say glass
whimsy: naw shucks ::3 hm, trying to get bone runes, i do have a skull, but i think id need the OR operator for that
ingwaz is donar/thor god of thunder, giant
my current bet is, its going to be a GIANT FAN
Karrin Blue: ...Ihwaz=?
whimsy: .... im asleep, ok
Karrin Blue: ah.
whimsy: i coulda sworn the irst in the list was thurisaz
Karrin Blue: or it could make a thundery weapon
whimsy: ihwaz, yew tree, eternal tree, yggdrasil
probs a yew fan
Karrin Blue: well Yggdrasil is crazy magical, so maybe a tree-looking weapon that can do magic like Rose's wizard needles?
not the horrorterror ones, the first ones she made
whimsy: i'll make the ihwaz cross and the kitchen knife cross
can we handle the earlier roll that i dont have the trading card folder, but a manila one i can dump the cards in?
also, you missed the flower crown && phone combo i asked for
Wiwaxia (GM): oh whoops
whimsy: and basically never used because she went straight for the eldritch stuff xxD
Wiwaxia (GM): no I got it, just didn't make a card for it
it's 7 build grist
whimsy: ooooh then that too
Karrin Blue: wiwaxia, if in the future I could make like, elemental bracelets or rings or whatever, could those give attributes to Myrtha's punches?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, you've got a manilla folder
Karrin Blue: i don't even remember if there are elemental things in this game...
whimsy: since i think you need to put the card in the alchemiter to tsee the costs, i wanna try and sharpie the costs of the cards i cant make yet on the outer border of the cards
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, elemental damages are a thing
a p damn nasty one, since they bypass normal protection
you need specially-targeted resistances
whimsy: and at some point i need to sort the cards somehow, buut not today, and not with that little cards in reserver
Wiwaxia (GM): I know at least fire and electricity will be showing up based on grist types
whimsy: ilmatar ventures the element types will be based on pokemon
Wiwaxia (GM): speaking of which, I've got the effects of more grist types implemented, so some underlings may have special things that they didn't last week
2d20 take lowest is gone, though
at least for low-level enemies
whimsy: early installment weirdness / sleeping netted us the end of the tutorial level / a patch came through
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
whimsy: brb brushing teeth & grabbing chow
Wiwaxia (GM): oh also, you've all got ehcheladder titles now!
you should go check out your character sheets
Karrin Blue: Blader-tot? I don't think I get the pun
Wiwaxia (GM): tater-tot
Karrin Blue: Ah.
k m.: cool
Wiwaxia (GM): so I think we're just waiting on Bird, yeah?
oh also, do people wanna keep doing the everyone-on-their-own-screen thing?
Karrin Blue: Yeah
Wiwaxia (GM): or have everyone watch wherever the action's going down right then
whimsy: everyone watching: the server player could try to assist with moving furniture without you always having to move 2 people
everyone on their own map: quick swiitch between characters possible
i'm ok either way
Wiwaxia (GM): how about your recording?
whimsy: recording is only viable if my tower doesnt crash
Wiwaxia (GM): ah
whimsy: cant open the files if the recording is cut shot by a crash
i could probably save the recording every hour if i dont forget to do it, which should save most of it even if it does crash

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:04 AM

Wiwaxia (GM): sounds good!
alright, I think we're gonna start
Bird can join late
let's say y'all slept for 4 hours
and thus heal 4+1d6 HP
Karrin Blue: rolling 1d6+4
(
6
)+4
= 10
yay!
k m.: rolling 1d6+4
(
6
)+4
= 10
whimsy: ill roll once my firefox has stopped dicking around, sec
rolling 1d6 + 4
(
6
)+4
= 10
Wiwaxia (GM): damn, yall
whimsy: whee
k m.: wait really? this is awesome
Wiwaxia (GM): and that puts everyone at full
Karrin Blue: no it's not, this means we'll roll poorly later because all the luck got used up early
well ok
Wiwaxia (GM): K, whatcha gonna make?
or are you saving grist for gristtorent, Ilmatar?
oh I can give grist updates if people want
I've got the file open
Karrin Blue: i can't make anything...
whimsy: a) fan && ihwaz rune
b) fan && kitchen knife
c) flower crown && phone
sharpie the grist costs on the other cards and dump them in the folder and pocket it
Wiwaxia (GM): cool
you make a Painted Yew Fan!
a pretty yew-wood fan with a tree painted on the leaf
k m.: huh, at some point i should actually look at all the pointy gardening tools i have. probably when i give them to everyone else
Wiwaxia (GM): you make a Bladefan!
which has knives for ribs
and is well-balanced
and you make a Daisy Phone-Chain
cute, but useless
whimsy: are the fans circle-part-shaped, or does one go fanpalm shape (basically spade symbol), or uchiwa (round)?
naw shucks
Karrin Blue: i thought they were folding fans...
Wiwaxia (GM): both are semicircular folding fans
whimsy: i pin the phone chain to the phone. it was worth a shot "_"
kk
Wiwaxia (GM): lemme deduct your grist, one sec
whimsy: i dump both fans into my strife syllabus and set the blade fan to preferred weapon
Wiwaxia (GM): yep!
whimsy: also, i need a selfie of that. which i shall post to my sites.
Wiwaxia (GM): put the yew fan in your other objects note in your sylladex, and I'll make you a bladefan card
whimsy: at some point, i need to make an actual blog for ilmatar, buuuut lazy
kk
Karrin Blue: I think I''ll have IC myrtha ask for cool weapon ideas
Wiwaxia (GM): also, you now have 68 build grist and 10 rust grist
whimsy: kk
Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: i know you can have group convos on chum, but can you make a picture board?
BI: because i have this beautiful bladed fan, grues beware!
Karrin Blue: co: Cool.
co: Don't think I have enough to make anything nice yet, though ;-;
co: Any ideas for stuff to combine once I get enough fuel?
Wiwaxia (GM): @moss, what are you doing?
you've still got yourself barricaded in your room
Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: kitchen knives are always good if you dont have an alternative at hand
k m.: ((currently, taking pictures of dogs. whoops))
Uh. I look out the window and see if i can see any imps coming up
Wiwaxia (GM): also, people should put down cruxtruders, totem lathes, punch desinix's and alchemiters
one sec, I'll move everyone to their client's page
wait wrong way
moss you've got Sera, soooo
k m.: ok! do i have to do anything now or just do stuff if/when kath comes back?
Wiwaxia (GM): uh, why not just do it now
one sec
Ilmatar Nordwind: I'd dump all that stuff not in my client's room, but one father below that is not as full
Karrin Blue: I am not seeing very much free space
k m.: wait, do we just draw something down?
am confuse
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, just draw
Ilmatar Nordwind: (if youre ilmatars client, just make the basement a bit larger ::3)
Karrin Blue: I think I'm Lemi's?
Wiwaxia (GM): here have a bit more yard, too
nope, Ilmatar's
k m.: ok! are there basic space requirements for these?
Wiwaxia (GM): Lemi's the firt in, so she's your server to close the loop
Karrin Blue: Do I have enough grist to expand out the bedroom and make spots?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
crux and alchemiter~2x2m punch and lathe ~1x2m
Ilmatar Nordwind: wi, this map does not have a scale
Karrin Blue: I wwant it to be off the bedtoom but that'll make it overlap with that other room
k m.: map scale: ruler, i think
Wiwaxia (GM): put it down at the bottom and show where it connects?
moss's scale's borked
whimsy: @km tried thatz already
Wiwaxia (GM): on the big house, they all take up practically no space
and then that's scale for his room
whimsy: ah, now i can see the scale
k m.: ah, i am truly the problem child
Karrin Blue: is that ok?
Wiwaxia (GM): looks good
and that's 6 grist
k m.: i feel bad because not a lot of space :/ haha
Karrin Blue: ugh the internet here may be laggy/prone to dropping out, just a warning
Wiwaxia (GM): poor showing, Knight
:p
(to moss)
k m.: i know right?
i have found some space tho
and made attempts to not put things in front of doors
Wiwaxia (GM): yep!
now back to the archive with this Page
@Karrin: taking the liberty of putting your alchemization stuff in for Lemi
whimsy: done ::3
Wiwaxia (GM): sweet!
Moss Kaplan: sI: I just love what you've done with the place!
whimsy: bi: gdi my beautiful house
bi: this wont do
bi: there was space in the basement
Wiwaxia (GM): @ moss you see some imps with skeletal raccoon paws climbing on the vines and up the sides of your house, but they don't seem determined to break in
there's some bigger monsters you can see in the distance though
Karrin Blue: (AFL for a minute, be back shortly)
Wiwaxia (GM): walking down the dried-up riverbed
Karrin Blue: *afk
Moss Kaplan: I take my least favorite history book and see if i can't lay down some knowledge here
i try to drop it on one
whimsy: @moss that was a beautiful pun
Wiwaxia (GM): one of the climbing imps?
Moss Kaplan: yep!
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, go ahead and roll an attack
I'll pull out my falling damage table of doom
whimsy: @wi, so entry order [snipped] -> Moss -> ilmatar -> myrtha means, not as i had presumed, moss is my server player, but rather i am moss's? and myrtha is mine?
Karrin Blue: back now
Moss Kaplan: rolling 1d20
(
10
)
= 10
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, sorry
because you entered first, and thus the person in the chain behind you is your server
eg. John --> Rose
@Moss, yep, that hits
one sec
Moss Kaplan: yesssss
(oh, bird posted in thread, will be on later hopefully)
Wiwaxia (GM): the hapless imp is about 4m down
and so takes
rolling 1d2*1d6
(
1
)*(
1
)
= 1
hahawelp
except it is then dislodged
and falls an additional uh
(Not) Literally A Bird: i am appearing very briefly to let everyone know that im gonna be back in a couple hours if yall are stilll here!
time zones are hard
whimsy: kk ::3
hey, what can i say ::D 4 in the morning
Wiwaxia (GM): let's call it 45m?
Karrin Blue: ugh darn internet
Wiwaxia (GM): that may be a bit high
anyway, it then takes
Moss Kaplan: ehheheh. suckit imp
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d6*1d100
(
2
)*(
15
)
= 30
damage
and is really fuckin dead
whimsy: well that looks dead
Wiwaxia (GM): you don't get exp for that damage though, sorry
and the grist is like 50m down
Moss Kaplan: but i do get satisfaction in a job well done.
hm.
my mom has a bunch of gardening magazines...
Wiwaxia (GM): protip: don't fall
Moss Kaplan: ehheh. i drew a thing
Wiwaxia (GM): mom's gardening mags are gonna be in her room, though
unblock trap door and venture forth?
Moss Kaplan: this is true. i gather up the sharp & pointy guardian's gardening guardians and shove them in my sylladex again.
Wiwaxia (GM): boom
Ilmatar Nordwind: whu
Moss Kaplan: and grab two books.
hmm. howard zinn's Complete History of the US and the 1900's edition of A Complete Factbook
Wiwaxia (GM): ehehe
not a fan of zinn?
@ilmatar, what are you doing?
Moss Kaplan: I like him, but at this point I've mostly memorized the things I like. I find his writing very approachable.
also, very heavy book
the other book has some amazingly racist sections, and is also very heavy
Karrin Blue: heavy enough to murder a cat?
Moss Kaplan: definitely
Wiwaxia (GM): (To GM) rolling 1d6
(
6
)
= 6
Wiwaxia (GM): @Myrtha, what are you doing?
Karrin Blue: I believe I am ambushing that imp there
Ilmatar Nordwind: At the moment, probably messing around.
what i thought i'd need a rucksack for in the age of the sylladex is going to be a riddle, but maybe it's explorer needs a BACKPACK
stuff i'll grab and stow in my sylladex: rucksack/backpack, some sandwiches, water, electric torch & spare batteries, rope, coat, rain cover thing, and a blanket
do i see any imps in the vicinity of my house?
Wiwaxia (GM): lemme handle Myrtha for a sec
Ilmatar Nordwind: kk
no need to hurry
Wiwaxia (GM): my underling generater hit a snag
in that it was giving that imp 30HP
whimsy: ahhahahahaha oh dear
Moss Kaplan: that is not an imp you want to mess with

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:07 AM

Wiwaxia (GM): this un's much less menacing
it's covered in leaves and leopard spots
Myrtha, you've got the drop on it
on account of it's an oblivious motherfucker
Karrin Blue: Does it matter which weapon I use?
Wiwaxia (GM): @ whimsy, I put all that junk on the misc card in your sylladex for you
@Karrin, not really
they all do 1d8
I mean sword or fist is probably less likely to bust those nice windows behind you, but
Karrin Blue: in that case I stab it.
so i roll 1d8?
Wiwaxia (GM): roll 1d20 first to see if you hit
you need a 10 or better
Karrin Blue: rolling 1d20
(
6
)
= 6
augh.
Wiwaxia (GM): gonna move? you can move up to 6m
also roll a d20+your entire dex score to see if the imp noticed you
(To GM) rolling 1d6
(
3
)
= 3
Karrin Blue: I don't think there's much of a reason to move?
Wiwaxia (GM): k
Karrin Blue: rolling 1d20 + 12
(
6
)+12
= 18
Wiwaxia (GM): nb. you can move faster than most imps
it noticed you, but it's being slow on the pickup
you win initiatve automatically
and can attack it again
Karrin Blue: I try and stab it again
rolling 1d20
(
5
)
= 5
...
I KNEW IT
I TOLD YOU THAT ROLLING HIGH EARLY WOULD USE UP ALL OF THE LUCK.
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp backs up and springs
rolling 1d20+1
(
9
)+1
= 10
which I think hits?
Karrin Blue: well you're the GM
so you would know!
Wiwaxia (GM): your def is 10, so yep
rolling 1d2
(
2
)
= 2
you take 2 damage
and it's got it's claws dug into your shoulder
Karrin Blue: ok.
my turn again?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Karrin Blue: OK the sword is clearly cursed so I punch the imp.
rolling 1d20
(
19
)
= 19
HAH.
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, you hit
Karrin Blue: so it's 1d8?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Karrin Blue: rolling 1d8
(
8
)
= 8
:D
Wiwaxia (GM): grist goes flying
12 build and 4 cobalt, to be precise
Karrin Blue: even though I know that's the lowest enemy I am still happy i killed it with one punch.
and even though it took me 3 tries
oh well!

Karrin Blue collects the Grist
Myrtha Oscurr: oops
pretend that was from Myrtha
Wiwaxia (GM): the ruckus has attracted another imp
wait, did I say imp?
i meant chair
with four red eyes
that's moving
Myrtha Oscurr: a master of stealth, obviously.
wait, four eyes?
Wiwaxia (GM): there's also a weaboo-ass jacket over the back of the chair
yep
rolling 1d6
(
2
)
= 2
roll 1d6 for initiative
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d6
(
2
)
= 2
a tie?
Wiwaxia (GM): k, everything happens at once
whatcha doing?
Myrtha Oscurr: Well, assuming the imp is attacking me, I punch it.
Wiwaxia (GM): it seems to be hanging back
Myrtha Oscurr: I still punch it.
if that's spacially possible.
Wiwaxia (GM): you can just move closer
like I just moved you
Myrtha Oscurr: oh ok.
Wiwaxia (GM): (from the last imp)
you can track your own damage too, if you want
punching?
Myrtha Oscurr: Hm...
I start to walk aroun the chair without breaking eye contact, if it's not moving.
eye contact with the cushion/weaboo jacket.
Wiwaxia (GM): it shuffles under the bar
and tips over one of the stools
(pictured)
Myrtha Oscurr: Hmm
agh i didn't mean to do that
Hmm, maybe I will go see if I can flush out any imps from the smaller rooms?
like in the laundry or stairs area
this guy doesn't seem to be too much trouble
Wiwaxia (GM): K
show me where you're going
also, @Ilmatar, you can see a few imps milling around downstairs
bismuth and phosphorous
and one canvas
Myrtha Oscurr: Like there, maybe?
Wiwaxia (GM): alright
there's one hanging out at the top of the stairs
Myrtha Oscurr: none in the laundry/bathroom?
Wiwaxia (GM): also cobalt, has fins and is covered in vines
one in the laundry, too
Myrtha Oscurr: hmm, ok
whimsy: Can I ambush the closest imp?
also how did these fuckers get in, i closed all doors and windows ::<
Myrtha Oscurr: can I rush forward and punch the stair imp?
Wiwaxia (GM): go for it
you can also charge for a penalty to your def next turn and a bonus to damage
Myrtha Oscurr: ...sure why not
1d20?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d20
(
19
)
= 19
Wiwaxia (GM): noice
damage is 1d8+2
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d8 + 2
(

= 7
Wiwaxia (GM): yyep, dead
grist goes flying all down the stairs
Myrtha Oscurr: I collect the grist and then shall go after the laundry imp!
Wiwaxia (GM): 18 build
the laundry imp's a different kind
it's staining everything it touches deep blue
Myrtha Oscurr: In the laundry? How dare it!
Wiwaxia (GM): but I'm gonna switch to Ilmatar for a minute
Myrtha Oscurr: NP!
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar, you're ambushing the one in the other room?
that's a phosphorus imp
Ilmatar Nordwind: if i know it's there! how did any get in here, anyways? i closed all doors and windows D::
bi: it appears i cannot leave for exploration yet, there seems to be a spawn node somewhere in the house which i need to locate and disable first. vexing.
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, you see it when you go out the door
it also sees you
roll 1d6 for initiative

Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20
(

)

Wiwaxia (GM): mmmnope
Ilmatar Nordwind: it appears i need to figure this blade fan business out first. oh well, learning by doing
....
can i block with this thing?
Wiwaxia (GM): not really
it's kinda too knives for that
it's well balanced enough that you might be able to throw it, though
Ilmatar Nordwind: even tho its a knive fan? shucks
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp's gonna jab you
rolling 1d20
(
7
)
= 7
the imp has failed to jab you and retreats in shame
(it's under the bed)
Ilmatar Nordwind yells "GET OUTTA THERE YOU SON OF A KELPROCK
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp does not move
Ilmatar Nordwind: shucks that i dont have an excuse for a bucket of liquid nitrogen
or i would FREEZE that imp
Wiwaxia (GM): okay, I'd like you to roll a 0 or lower on a d6...
Ilmatar Nordwind: yeah, thats why i said i dont have an excuse ::3
Wiwaxia (GM): @ moss what is now your alchemy room appears imp-free
@ilmatar agress the imp, or proceed downstairs?
k m.: ((http://41.media.tumblr.com/c981ab52b9fe891873d653c35ede9a2a/tumblr_nqy0vmd9UM1s047uqo1_1280.jpg I made a thing while hanging out))
Moss Kaplan: hmm, then i go to my mom's old room
Wiwaxia (GM): there's a coupla dust imps in the corners
they seem to be dropping dust, but it's kinda like crying to raise the ocean in here
Ilmatar Nordwind says, a little bit calmer: "You know, I don't explicitely want to kill you, but I need you out of Mama's room, especially before you break anything. We could totally be friends, you know?"
Moss Kaplan: I throw the 1900's book at them (thereby probably raising more dust)
Wiwaxia (GM): eh, sure, why not @Ilmatar, grace check?
Ilmatar Nordwind: d20 + grace stat or grace modifier?
Wiwaxia (GM): grace stat
modifier just applies to saves
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 10
(
17
)+10
= 27
ah ok
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp scurries past you and down the stairs
Ilmatar Nordwind: i double check that the shutters and windows are shut tight, and close the door. is there a key in the lock, or did mama take it with her?
Ilmatar Nordwind calls after the imp "Thank you!"
Wiwaxia (GM): the bedroom door?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ayup
Wiwaxia (GM): no key in the lock
Ilmatar Nordwind: naww
cant block it from the outside, either
but i should have the key for my room, shouldnt i? or at least know where i put it
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, you've got it
@moss which imp are you throwing the book at?
Moss Kaplan: thar one!
Ilmatar Nordwind: i check that there are no imps in my room, and lock the door.
then i quietly go downstairs
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, roll 1d20 to hit!
Moss Kaplan: *that one. not a pirate
rolling 1d20

speaking of which, what are they doing?
Wiwaxia (GM): just one
it's staying still for now
it's got fins and clothes with a green castle in six parts on them
Moss Kaplan: oh cool. I throw Zinn at it.
whimsy: -looks at map- oh dear
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, roll
Moss Kaplan: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): @ Ilmatar, you see the phosphorous imp from before scamper out the (open) door
@moss, that misses
the imp still ain't moving
Moss Kaplan: yep :/ dammit zinn, i had faith in you
Ilmatar Nordwind: i couldve sworn i closed that one!
Moss Kaplan: can i take a closer look at it to see if it's laid a trap or something?
Ilmatar Nordwind: oh well, time to clear out the ground floor now that nothing should be able to get in via the upper floor
Wiwaxia (GM): @moss grace check, please
Moss Kaplan: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Moss Kaplan: 28
Wiwaxia (GM): @ilmatar, do you want descriptions of the three imps on the bottom floor
@moss, it's holding it's attack until you get within jabbing range
Ilmatar Nordwind: yes please
Moss Kaplan: Huh.
I take out a guardian gardening implement and throw that at it
Wiwaxia (GM): k, that's a dangerous weapon you don't have in your specibus, so it will deal 1d6-1 damage, with dire consequences if you roll a 1 for damage
Moss Kaplan: okeydokey
rolling 1d6-1
(
4
)-1

Wiwaxia (GM): sorry you need to roll to hit first

Myrtha Oscurr: co: So, how are you guys doing?
Wiwaxia (GM): @ilmatar, from the left
Moss Kaplan: sI: I killed an imp with a history book!
Wiwaxia (GM): bismuth imp, wearing a mix of burial kimono and arashi matsuri's outfit
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: stalking grues and shooing them out of the house
Moss Kaplan: sI: also gravity
Wiwaxia (GM): canvas imp with four red eyes and a raccoon skull for a head
Ilmatar Nordwind is very tempted to answer moss with "fuck gravity"
Wiwaxia (GM): standing on the table
Myrtha Oscurr: co: I've punched two imps to death.
Wiwaxia (GM): bismuth imp carrying a flag with a long-ass neck
Myrtha Oscurr: co: There's currently one in my laundry room staining things as well.
Ilmatar Nordwind: Two Bismuths, not good. has the one down the stairs seen me yet?
Wiwaxia (GM): speaking of which, I think it's time to roll back around to Myrtha some
you can't tell
Myrtha, the Indigo Imp hasn't noticed you yet
whatcha gonna do?
also, @Ilmatar, roll 1d6 for initiative
rolling 1d6

the imp is completely fixated on turning all your towels blue
Myrtha Oscurr: charge!

Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d8 + 2

Wiwaxia (GM): you have killed it so hard, some grist flies to the other end of the garage
which is standing open
the car's gone and you can see tire tracks in the blue sand beyond
Myrtha Oscurr: ...oh dear.
Wiwaxia (GM): there's also blue fooprints all over the fucking floor
you get 16 build grist and 1 indigo grist, though
Myrtha Oscurr: I collect the Grist. Did the blue footprints lead to the imp i just punched?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
@Moss are you collecting the grist, or attacking the imp, or?
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Heads up, if you have things you don't want to be blue then you may want to captcha them.
co: There are imps about that have the restraint of small children when coloring things.
I head over to the area just outside the garage and peer around to see if I can see anything immediately nearby.
Wiwaxia (GM): well, from here you can tell that the sand is not actually sand, but millions of tiny cobalt-blue glass beads
mostly what you can see from here are lines of telephone(?) poles and wires
whispering in an unfelt breeze
Moss Kaplan: oh, attacking imp
Wiwaxia (GM): the tire tracks wind off out of sigh
*sight
@moss what with?
Myrtha Oscurr: co: I get the feeling that the weird ghosty voices are going to get very annoying quickly.
Moss Kaplan: great feet of strength
or
great strength of feet
Myrtha Oscurr: I head back in and close the garage door, so at least this way wandering monsters can't get in and ruin more towels.
Wiwaxia (GM): k
@moss, the imp jabs at you as you get close enough to kick it

Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d4
(

Myrtha Oscurr: and as I head in I close the door to the garage, laundry, and bathroom after making sure no imps are present, so I'll be able to tell if one walks into those rooms.
Wiwaxia (GM): you take 2 damage
noted
where to next?
Myrtha Oscurr: and now I'll head to the foyer area to check the portico and den for imps!
Wiwaxia (GM): moss you take 2 damage and proceed to kick the shit out of the thing
Moss Kaplan: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): yep! ya hit it

Moss Kaplan: (of all the things not to write down, which roll i use for footkind is the dumbest. hangon)
Wiwaxia (GM): @Myrtha, there's a cobalt imp with creepy disheveled hair and a raccoon skull in the den

Wiwaxia (GM): is how much HP leon recovered during his nap
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: theres two bismuth imps right next to each other and i need to figure out how to separate them first
Wiwaxia (GM): @Moss, Ilmatar, what do?
Leon Gaspar: ((sweet thanks!))
((which is all the health))
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Things are going OK on my end.
Leon Gaspar: ((also what was the grist cost for that alchemisation i sent you?))

Ilmatar Nordwind steps down the stairs, ignores the imps in the living room, and writes a note for her mama and puts it on the drawer thingie in the hallway. the note says, "Mama, when you return, please take care to keep doors and windows locked. The grues keep sneaking in."

Moss Kaplan: i take all that stuff. and pick up my book & gardening tool
Leon Gaspar: NI: only that my entire building has gone all weird. i think i might try to check out things outside the building
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar proceeding out the door, or downstairs, or?
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Dunno if that's a good idea. I mean, around me there's just blue desert.
Leon Gaspar: NI: i'm mostly wondering if tia's down there somewhere
NI: she should've been heading home when all this shit happened
Ilmatar Nordwind: i then proceed to the living room door to address the imps
Leon Gaspar: I ponder to myself. Mostly I am stalling from trying to tangle with the imps again.
Myrtha Oscurr: co: The car's gone from my house, and I haven't seen my Dad around.
Leon Gaspar: NI: ...i hope they're both ok.
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Yeah. I mean
Ilmatar Nordwind says "Hello you three. Yes, I can see you, the one hiding under the table. I am quite grumpy that you have entered my house without my invitation, and I would very much like you to leave, before you break anything."
Myrtha Oscurr: co: I know Dad's not really a pushover, but SCA tournament stuff isn't the same as fighting monsters.
Leon Gaspar: NI: yeah, you're not wrong
Wiwaxia (GM): @Ilmatar: grace check?
Leon Gaspar: Alright. Enough pondering. I'm going to go ahead and try to fight these imps ... again.
Myrtha Oscurr: co: So uh.
Leon Gaspar: This is definitely a good idea.
Myrtha Oscurr: co: What's the area you're around like?
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: your dad's gonna be fine, myr. the grues are pushovers.
bi: if it helps, my mama has maps for a hobby, and she can deal with them.
bi: hell, we can deal with them.

NI: which is
NI: interesting
Myrtha Oscurr: co: There's all these wires near me. Any of you guys know any tightrope walking tricks?
Leon Gaspar: NI: please do not fall and break your neck
Wiwaxia (GM): the canvas imp looks around hesitantly, but the bismuth imp in the kimono seems to prod it into attacking
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Yeah, I'd rather walk than trust these creepy ghost strings.
Moss Kaplan: sI: yeah i'm hoping we can meet up soon, and that seems hard to do if we're all dead

Canvas can be cut.

and then immediately retreat back to the door
Ilmatar Nordwind addresses the imps in the living room: "I reiterate my request for you to leave."
Leon Gaspar: leon is not about this fighting thing
Ilmatar Nordwind: (i plead bonus because i just julienned that canvas imp)
bi: i just julienned another grue. i love this fan.
Wiwaxia (GM): Ilmatar gets 5 linen grist and 10 build
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Nice. I haven't had enough stuff to make cool weapons yet.

Leon Gaspar: NI: at this point im pretty sure anything's feasible
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Can you send me your runecodes and what they mean? I'd rather not accidentally use the rune of the monster squirrel or whatever.
Wiwaxia (GM): @ilmatar
Karrin Blue: Monster squirrel is a real norse critter btw.
whimsy: ofc ::D
Karrin Blue: Ratatoskr or something.
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Anyways! Leon, you're having trouble with imps?
Wiwaxia (GM): the bismuth imp in the kimono is unpreturbed and appears to try to cajole the other to stay, but it jumps at the window
Leon Gaspar: NI: yeah there are like
Myrtha Oscurr: co: They seem kind of dumb, you could probably Home Alone some traps.
Leon Gaspar: NI: i think i counted six in my apartment
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d4
(
4
)
= 4
Leon Gaspar: NI: that's...not a bad idea
Myrtha Oscurr: co: All in one place?
Leon Gaspar: NI: four in the kitchen, two in the living room
Wiwaxia (GM): the glass shatters and the imp flees
Ilmatar Nordwind: hrm
Leon Gaspar: NI: kinda wondering if i could bowl one of them into the other
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Yeah that souds bad. These things are like.. flock hunters? or whatever. Strength in numbers.
co: Probably? They don't seem too smart.
Leon Gaspar: NI: my plan was to lure 'em to the door and at least try to fight them one by one
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: myrtha, i'll send you the code in a second after i have dealt with this grue. can you patch up the broken window in the meantime, please?
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Yeah, they're pretty easy on their own. A bottleneck'd be a good idea.
co: Will do!
Ilmatar Nordwind: the last imp is the one hiding under the table, yes?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: How much grist does it take to patch the window?/
Wiwaxia (GM): 2 build to just replace it with wall
Ilmatar Nordwind says "The table will not protect you, grue."
Wiwaxia (GM): 10 if you wanna copy/paste the other window
Myrtha Oscurr: co: ...How attached are you to that window? Glass is expensive.
k m.: annnd I've gotta go, guys. brother just left me to babysit puppy and i need to figure out what's up with that
Myrtha Oscurr: bye!
Ilmatar Nordwind: bb
Wiwaxia (GM): bye!
Leon Gaspar: see ya!
Ilmatar Nordwind: the table is probably too heavy to flip over, but i try stabbing the imp under it
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp's ready for you and dances past the curtain, knocking over a chair to block your way
Ilmatar Nordwind: (that bastard managed to knock over an armchair? im impressed)
Wiwaxia (GM): i can roll for it if ya like
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: i couldve sworn i closed the storm shutters and windows before i went to sleep, but theyre all open again
Wiwaxia (GM): 4+ and it's knocked over
rolling 1d4+2
(
2
)+2
= 4
yep
Ilmatar Nordwind: i close the storm shutters again, this time double-checking that theyre locked/blocked from opening, and close the window
bi: ::/
Wiwaxia (GM): question: is there an opening to the tile stove in the kitchen?
also I assume it's a wood stove
Ilmatar Nordwind: yeah, because it doubles as an oven
Wiwaxia (GM): and is there another opening on the living room side?
Ilmatar Nordwind: might be able to fuel it with both wood and oil and bog, but i'd have to look it up
don't think so?
Wiwaxia (GM): k
Ilmatar Nordwind: because you can just go 2 more steps for the kitchen access
question: does the imp accidentally fry itself?
Wiwaxia (GM): anyways, you hear rustling and drawer opening noises from the kitchen
oh, last question, is the stove lit?
Ilmatar Nordwind: if it's cold outside, yes, if not, probably not?
Wiwaxia (GM): no, then
it's cool but not cold
what are you doing?
Ilmatar Nordwind: i draw the curtain back with my left, fan at the ready to attack
Wiwaxia (GM): (To GM) rolling 1d6
(

= 1
Wiwaxia (GM): can I get a grace check?
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 10
(

)+10

Wiwaxia (GM): you spot the imp before it can light the curtain on fire with the matches it found
attack?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ayup
rolling 1d20
(

)
= 19
Wiwaxia (GM): yep that hits
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 2d4 +
(

+

)
= 5
Wiwaxia (GM): it dies
the match sputters out uselessly on the floor
you get 8 build and 6 bismuth grist

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:12 AM

Ilmatar Nordwind: who had the idea to put a flammable curtain next to the stove?
I send Myrtha the code for my glass runes, and a link to a site on which runes are explained
Wiwaxia (GM): excellent transition, thank you
Myrtha, what are you doing?
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Well, since the portico and den are apparently clear, and the grist has been collected, I close the oors and head upstairs
Leon Gaspar: (im gonna brb to unpack the dishwasher while myrtha does stuff, then i might strife if thats ok?)
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Thanks Ilmatar
Wiwaxia (GM): k!
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: youre welcome ::3
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, you turn to go upstairs OH SHIT THERE'S SOMETHING HUGE IN THE GREAT ROOM
Myrtha Oscurr: co: WELP
I hide in the stairwell and peer around the doorway.
Wiwaxia (GM): where?
Myrtha Oscurr: thereabouts!
Wiwaxia (GM): also, this ogre has 4 red eyes and is wearing some animu clothes
Myrtha Oscurr: co: ...So there is a giant thing in my living room.
Wiwaxia (GM): it moves out of sight
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Have any of you run into giant tusky monsters?
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: no big grues here yet, but i havent checked the basement yet
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Well I have no idea what to do about this guy.
Wiwaxia (GM): there is a colossal boom from the direction of the garage
(To GM) rolling 1d10
(
10
)
= 10
Myrtha Oscurr: co: ...and he may have brought company. In the room where all the important alchemy stuff is.
I sprint across the open area into the laundry and peek into the garage.
Leon Gaspar: NI: shit okay that's probably an ogre
NI:that is not a good thing
Wiwaxia (GM): this blue motherfucker's punched right though the garage door
it seems to be tracking the blue footprints from earlier
it's also covered in leopard spots
Myrtha Oscurr: co: God dammit. Not only is there a giant ogre in here but it's one of those ink ones.
(how do I summon my sprite for backup?)
Wiwaxia (GM): hope
of course, there was just a colossal boom
you see Flagcoonsprite float down behind the Indigo Ogre
Myrtha Oscurr: So, can Flagcoonsprite blast it while I try to punch it?
without risking friendly fire?
Wiwaxia (GM): that'll suffice for now
there's a 25% chance he'll hit you if you're directly across from him
but you're immune to his beam anyways
Myrtha Oscurr: Alright then
co: This is really fucking stupid.
Let's do that then.
Wiwaxia (GM): sweet
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d20
(

)

....oh dear.
Wiwaxia (GM): well, you didn't fumble
alright roll 1d6 for your and flagcoonsprite's initiative
rolling 1d6

rolling 1d20

= 14
Myrtha Oscurr: This is gonna suck
(that was IC by the way)
Wiwaxia (GM): the ogre grabs you
Leon Gaspar: [Leon whispering 'please don't die' in the distance]
Wiwaxia (GM): k can you hit the "grapple" button on your character sheet?
Karrin Blue: I really was hoping we might not need corpse makeouts this soon, hehe
Myrtha Oscurr: Level 1, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d6+11 (0)

Wiwaxia (GM): you manage to keep the ogre from crushing you
Leon Gaspar: oh thats what that button does
oops
ignore that
Wiwaxia (GM): and so it just throws you at the wall
Ilmatar Nordwind: leon tried not to be grappled by the air around/ crushed by despair?
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d6
(

)
= 4
Leon Gaspar: that's pretty much it
Wiwaxia (GM): damage
your turn again
flagcoonsprite's gonna beam the damn thing
rolling 1d20
(

Myrtha Oscurr: DAMN IT FLAGCOON.
Wiwaxia (GM): unfortunately, the ogre makes it's reflex save
pew pew
rolling 1d10/2
(
4
)/2
= 2
still takes half damage, though
your turn Myrtha
Myrtha Oscurr: It's still holding me, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, it flung you into the wall
it'll take your move action to stand up, btw
Myrtha Oscurr: Then I stand up and swing my halberd at it
if I can't move then the halberd should have more reach than fists, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, although it's standing over you so you can hit it with either
incidentally, fists autohit in grapple unless you're completely pinned
Myrtha Oscurr: Oh, then I just punch it.
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, roll
btw, all your clothes are now irrevocably blue
Myrtha Oscurr: did any get on my hair or skin?
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, some
Myrtha Oscurr: Alright then, I shall keep that in mind whenever I make that sprite.
so! what do I roll to punch it?
Wiwaxia (GM): 1d20 to hit, needs to be >=9
then 1d8 for damage
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d20
(

)
= 8
darnit.
Wiwaxia (GM): ogre's turn!
(To GM) rolling 1d6

Wiwaxia (GM): it's just gonna punch you
rolling 1d20-1

Myrtha Oscurr: fun.
:D
Wiwaxia (GM): it's fist slams into the wall
rolling 1d12
(

)

the wall is unharmed
Myrtha Oscurr: will Flagcoonsprite provide backup?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: also, I roll again right?
rolling 1d20
(
16
)
= 16
rolling 1d8 +2
(
6
)+2
= 8
Wiwaxia (GM): flagcoonsprite's beam is recharging, but it can still bite and heal you
Myrtha Oscurr: it's right to do the +2 there right?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, not unless you're charging
so just 6
Myrtha Oscurr: alright then, just 6.
yeah
Wiwaxia (GM): which is still respectable
Myrtha Oscurr: yes!
Wiwaxia (GM): it feels like punching a sack of bricks, and you feel that the ogre was protected from some of the blow
flagcoonsprites gonna come up next to you and bite the fucker
rolling 1d20+1
(
4
)+1
= 5
nnnnnope
and the ogre's gonna try to punch you again
rolling 1d20-1
(

= 13
Wiwaxia (GM): uh oh
rolling 1d12
(
11
)
= 11
Myrtha Oscurr: this is gonna hurt.
Myrtha is going to be very happy when she learns the void intangibility trick.
Wiwaxia (GM): however, you feel your spirits bolstered by the prsesnce of flagcoonsprite
heal 1d4 hp
rolling 1d4
(

)

Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d4
(

)
= 1
hehe
Wiwaxia (GM): pfff
Myrtha Oscurr: better than nothing.
Wiwaxia (GM): and you get +1 on all your rolls
while you''re next to flagcoonsprite
your turn
Myrtha Oscurr: time to punch some more I guess
rolling 1e20

Wiwaxia (GM): +1
b/c flagcoonsprite
Myrtha Oscurr: so 2 then!
Wiwaxia (GM): which gets knocked back down to 1 by the ogre's protection, but
also, flagcoonsprite's gonna healbeam you
heal 1
Myrtha Oscurr: hooray!
Wiwaxia (GM): you gonna move?
Myrtha Oscurr: I am going to scamper away to get the laundry door at my back so if things go further south I can drag mysel inside.
is that OK?
Wiwaxia (GM): you can go another meter if you want
y/n?
Myrtha Oscurr: ANOTHER ONE?
Wiwaxia (GM): that size changing thing was not an error, btw
rolling 1d20
(
7
)
= 7
whiffs it's jab
Ilmatar Nordwind: oh dear
Wiwaxia (GM): flagcoonsprite gets a free attack as the indigo ogre moves away
Ilmatar Nordwind: does that mean these bastards level
Myrtha Oscurr: ...so I'm going to actually die here. One of you had better come and makeout with my corpse.
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20+1
(

= 17
rolling 1d4-1
(

)-1
= 3
which kills it!
the Indigo Ogre has been slain
Leon Gaspar: [Leon breathing a sigh of relief in the distance]
Myrtha Oscurr: and now there's just cobalt ogre
Wiwaxia (GM): and it's your turn
Myrtha Oscurr: OK I get into the laundry room. I'm going to try and wait until Flagcoon's beam recovers and get some healing in the meantime.
and I close the two doors behind me.
co: Well that just happened.
Leon Gaspar: NI: do i want to know
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Well Flagcoon and I just killed ink ogre. A good percentage of my skin and hair is blue.
co: Though some of that blue is bruisng
co: and another one just popped out of nowhere.
co: I'm going to lick my wounds for a bit then murder it.
Leon Gaspar: NI: well at least you killed one and you're not dead
NI: sounds good. please don't die
NI: i think it's about time i have a go at these imps
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: myr will live
Wiwaxia (GM): @myrtha you hear a creak
Myrtha Oscurr: co: Fuck.
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: anyone dying so early would make for a bad story

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:15 AM

Myrtha Oscurr: co: Maybe there are spare lives?
Leon Gaspar: NI: i guess this /is/ a game
NI: i should look up what that walkthrough says about extra lives
NI: when im not trying to kill things
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: speaking of walkthrough, what does it say about the spiraly things above the houses?
(im just going to assume i know about those)
Wiwaxia (GM): you spotted em last session, yeah
Leon Gaspar: NI: gates! that's how we meet up
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: you can spook the smaller ones, by the way. just yell at them to get lost, and some will
Leon Gaspar: NI: ... really?
Myrtha Oscurr: Wiwaxia, what do I roll for healing?
Wiwaxia (GM): @myrtha, you hear another creak
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: quite far up, though
Wiwaxia (GM): can't heal that fast without flagcoonsprite
Leon Gaspar: NI: yeah. i think we're supposed to build up to them
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: ah well, if you cannot fly, you walk.
Myrtha Oscurr: Yeah didn't he come with me?
Leon Gaspar: NI: which is why we gotta collect build grist
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, still in the garage
Leon Gaspar: NI: which is why i. have to. fight these things.
Wiwaxia (GM): you don't hear any sounds of fighting, though
Myrtha Oscurr: That asshole traitor.
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: hrm
Myrtha Oscurr: I peek through the door to see if I can see the creak-er
Wiwaxia (GM): it's your "dad"
except blue
and with four red eyes
and staining everything he touches
wait, scratch the last one, sorry
he is wearing shitty anime clothes, though
Myrtha Oscurr: How can I ell that it is my dad?
Wiwaxia (GM): it looks like him
Myrtha Oscurr: did it eat my dad to gain his powers
Wiwaxia (GM): well, except for the obvious
but a reasonable monochrome creepy facsimile

Myrtha Oscurr stares with great suspicion at 'Dad.' "...Hello."
Wiwaxia (GM): "dad" punches you
rolling 1d20
(

rolling 1d4

Myrtha Oscurr: yeah should've seen that coming.
welp.
Wiwaxia (GM): your turn
Myrtha Oscurr: I WILL NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT.
let's charge the thing.
rolling 1d20
(

)

Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Myrtha Oscurr: snrk
Wiwaxia (GM): run away?
Myrtha Oscurr: yeah sure

)
= 13
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, where to?
Myrtha Oscurr: Hmm.
If I go to the stairway-foyer-great room area can I see Flagcoon?
since it appears to have moved?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: then I head over next to it
Wiwaxia (GM): it's rushing to your aid as fast as it can
since the laundry door is locked
rolling 1d4
(
3
)
= 3
Myrtha Oscurr: ...It's a sprite, can't it walk through walls?
Wiwaxia (GM): it's healing aura gives you some pep, but it's healbeam's not recharged yet
hard to say if that's a sprite thing or a nannasprite thing
so I'm going with the latter
Myrtha Oscurr: Alright.
Wiwaxia (GM): although onryousprite can totally do it
Myrtha Oscurr: Is the blastbeam recharged?
Wiwaxia (GM): "dad" charges you
Myrtha Oscurr: I dodge?
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20
(
18
)
= 18
you fail to dodge
Myrtha Oscurr: hell.
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d4+2
(
3
)+2
= 5
you are at 0HP
welcome to the death and dismemberment table!
Myrtha Oscurr: oh boy.
Wiwaxia (GM): fortunately 1 overflow is not that bad
Myrtha Oscurr: well, losing limbs is a homestuck theme
Wiwaxia (GM): you've got a pretty wicked bruise on your gut
rolling 1d4
(
4
)
= 4
Myrtha Oscurr: (can I see the table?)
Oh, so I don't actually get dismembered
hooray!
Wiwaxia (GM): sure, I'll put it up on the thread later
also flagcoonsprite's healing aura puts a bit of vim back in your step
what'll you do?
Myrtha Oscurr: run away!
Wiwaxia (GM): which way?
rolling 1d20
(
4
)
= 4
"dad" makes his saving throw
taking only half damage from the beam
rolling 1d10/2
(
9
)/2
= 4.5
Myrtha Oscurr: darn.
Wiwaxia (GM): which is still more than enough to kill him stone dead
Myrtha Oscurr: YES.
Wiwaxia (GM): the Cobalt Imp has been slain
Myrtha Oscurr: I collect the Grist and go check the garage.
...Imp?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: The sprite was an Ogre one.
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Myrtha Oscurr: so the Cobalt Ogre is still in there?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Myrtha Oscurr: I thought that it was 'dad'
oh.
Wiwaxia (GM): it was an imp all along
Myrtha Oscurr: ...welp.
I go check the garage after collecting the Dadgrist.
Leon Gaspar is still preparing to slam
Wiwaxia (GM): one sec
Leon Gaspar: ((no prob! sorry to be so pushy))
Wiwaxia (GM): you get 3 cobalt and 4 build out of the dadgrist
((no, pushy is good! I don't want to neglect anyone))
in the garage you find a blue cube of healing gel for 1d6HP, 2 indigo grist and 31 woad grist
go ahead and roll and heal yourself
Myrtha Oscurr: rolling 1d6
(
4
)
= 4
Wiwaxia (GM): also, if your wander back into the grand room, you notice that there is no longer a blue char with four red eyes and a weaboo coat over the back
alright, @ leon, what's the plan?
Leon Gaspar: Alright!
Plan is:
Myrtha Oscurr: OK hey
it is late here
so I am going to have Myrtha fall asleep somewhere with Flagcoonsprite standing guard
Leon Gaspar: Go next to counter --> flail @ 4x prototyped imp, hoping to knock it sideways into the skull/onryo imp --> retreat to doorway to hopefully make a bottleneck
Myrtha Oscurr: gnight guys!
Wiwaxia (GM): night!
Leon Gaspar: night!
Ilmatar Nordwind: n8
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, let's do this
Leon Gaspar: [llllleeeeeooooon....GASPAAAAAR]
Wiwaxia (GM): the way fancy shit like trying to knock imps into other imps works is that if you hit, they can choose between taking the damage and doing what you want
if you crit, both happen
Leon Gaspar: ah alright, works for me
[whoa what was that]
Ilmatar Nordwind: i tip my hat to that tribute
Leon Gaspar: [is everyone okay]
okay but for real let's do it. what am I rolling?
Wiwaxia (GM): 1d20 to hit
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d20
(

)
= 10
Wiwaxia (GM): then 1d8 for damage
yep, that hits

not bad. better than missing
Wiwaxia (GM): (To GM) rolling 1d4
(
4
)
= 4
Wiwaxia (GM): motherfuck, I forgot to save these imps
I guess I'll have to reroll their grist and keep their prototypings
anyways, it decides to take the damage, which does not leave it in particualarly good shape
incidentally, take 1 damage from a malevolent presence
Leon Gaspar: fucking malevolent presence
and back to the relevant safety of the doorway
Wiwaxia (GM): it jumps at you
rolling 1d20+1
(

)+1
= 10
Leon Gaspar: rightio
Wiwaxia (GM): @leon, what's your defence?
Leon Gaspar: 11
Wiwaxia (GM): the imp goes sailing into the hallway behind you
Leon Gaspar: LEON: uh oh
Wiwaxia (GM): countertops coming at you too
rolling 1d20
(
4
)
= 4
countertop punches the doorframe
what'll you do?
Leon Gaspar: gonna go for 4x again, try to take him out
same rolls as last time? (sorry i get this shit mixed up so i double-check every time)
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): yeah that hits
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d8

Wiwaxia (GM): dead
Leon Gaspar: LEON: phew okay. i can do this.
turning around to face the other one now
Wiwaxia (GM): take 4 damage from a baleful presence
and it's jabbing you
Leon Gaspar: LEON: i've gotta work out what's doing that
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): paft
Leon Gaspar is cautiously optimistic
Leon Gaspar: what are the other imps doing? hanging out being imps?
whimsy: back
Wiwaxia (GM): there's one chilling at the end of the kitchen and you can't see the others from where you are
Leon Gaspar: hey whimsy! :3
whimsy: only lost an hour of recording, due to me ending and restarting the rec every hour
Leon Gaspar: alright. I'm gonna advance!
it was 5m for movement, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): 6m
Leon Gaspar: nice
i'm gonna try the smack-and-retreat on the other kitchen imp
i might not make it all the way back to the door in one turn but hopefully neither will the other imps
rolling 1d20
(
14
)
= 14
Wiwaxia (GM): wait, move for me
Leon Gaspar: sorry, there we go
dammit
there was a sneaky imp!

Leon Gaspar: back
there are so many things happening at my house today
right
Wiwaxia (GM): and the imp's out of sight again
Leon Gaspar: alright. i don't suppose onryousprite is anywhere to be seen?
Wiwaxia (GM): you hear a bloodcurdling scream right behind you

Leon Gaspar: Then i turn around to see what that was.
uH
please dont let that be damage
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Leon Gaspar: whoa okay
Ilmatar Nordwind: d20 for damage would be brutal
looks more like a "did that work" roll
Wiwaxia (GM): that was a bunch of will saves
Leon Gaspar: yeah, which if the imps moving around are any indication
Wiwaxia (GM): you see a bunch of imps run away in terror

one of em manages to break the glass on a window and they all jump out
Leon Gaspar says (to onryousprite) that was /incredible/
Leon Gaspar says: good sprite. best friend/
whimsy: hello bird ::D
Leon Gaspar says or good ghost, best friend, as it were
Leon Gaspar: hello! :D
Wiwaxia (GM): onryousprite makes a noise that is the auditory equivalent of a bunch of horror movie gifs
Leon Gaspar: I wince but try to remain positive. At least it seems friendly.
LEON: we'll get you another prototyping soon...hopefully
Time to pick up the grist from the two I killed

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:17 AM

Wiwaxia (GM): 3
however, there's an onryou prototyped imp that seems to have sensed a challencge
Leon Gaspar: I feel emboldened! I am going to go take a swing at it!
rolling 1d20

Wiwaxia (GM): yep that hits
(To GM) rolling 1d4

Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d8
(

)
= 5
Wiwaxia (GM): bam, dead
you reap the spoils!
Leon Gaspar: aaand grab his grist too
Wiwaxia (GM): one sec
Leon Gaspar: :3
I look fondly at onryousprite.
((you do not have to reply to this as onryousprite btw. I am just Being In Character))
Wiwaxia (GM): 5 copper, 36 build grist, and 15 amber grist
Leon Gaspar: Yeah!
Still not enough to build anything...but I'm happy.
It occurs to me that even if my server player is AWOL, i should probably think about getting my client player through her gate. (To which end I go look up the client>server list)
(It's moss, as it turns out)
(Not useful at this time but something to think about next time!)
Wiwaxia (GM): i think you may be reading it backward
lemme doublecheck
whimsy: i mentioned that earlier
Leon Gaspar: (Absolutely possible.)
whimsy: b/c i got moss' house earlier
Leon Gaspar: (List of things Bird does not understand: dice rolls, maths, server/client shenanigans)
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, you should be lemi's, I think
and if not you are now by official decree
whimsy: and myrtha got mine
Leon Gaspar: This is also fine! Can I/we make a note of that somewhere?
Wiwaxia (GM): will do
whimsy: (list of things whimsy is perpetually confused about: who is who in here)
(srsly i keep fumbling the damn checks irl)
(Not) Literally A Bird: (by the way while i was gone earlier, did anyone get gristtorrent or are we still working up to that?)7
Wiwaxia (GM): nobody's got it up yet
whimsy: wi, do we have enough time for ilmatar to check the basement in this session?
Wiwaxia (GM): it takes 100 build grist and the closest right now is myrtha with 70
@whimsy, yep!
(Not) Literally A Bird: Yeah, how's everyone feeling energy-wise? It's only 4pm here but it's like midnight for you guys, right?
Wiwaxia (GM): 11 for me
whimsy: 8 in the morning
(Not) Literally A Bird: Oh :P then i won't feel as bad
just don't let me keep y'all up
whimsy: not sure i can sleep atm xxD
Wiwaxia (GM): I don't normally go to bed for another couple hours
and this session wasn't quite as exhausting as last time
whimsy: better planning, less people, other factors?
(Not) Literally A Bird: Fair enough! Just wanted to check in. Also yes, last time was a bit chaotic, and that's from a player's perspective. Can't even imagine what's going on at your end.
Wiwaxia (GM): sticking with one combat longer then going to next
mostly
rather than crazy juggling ping pong
also my underling generator's working better
whimsy: ::D
from a player perspective, i want the party to join up and dogpile the monsters
(Not) Literally A Bird: me too! that's why we gotta get through gates! ...eventually
Wiwaxia (GM): i would also like that from a gm perpective
whimsy: from ilmatars perspective, she's restless and wants to fortify the house enough that she can disappear, err, go, exploring
(Not) Literally A Bird: leon just wants to get everyone in one place so he can keep an eye on them all
Wiwaxia (GM): also, HP is scaled by mass]
now think about the size of a giclops
:D
(Not) Literally A Bird: mmmmf. yeah. let's meet up sooner rather than later.
whimsy: would it be powergaming if i decide to bug out on the mob in the basement
good luck getting ilmatar to agree
Wiwaxia (GM): @whimsy what do you mean?
(Not) Literally A Bird: also for reference leon's gonna go to the bedroom, ask onryousprite to keep watch and take a nap. I'm gonna hang around tho!
whimsy: powergaming = making decisions based on rule information that the character has no way of having
Wiwaxia (GM): the area's p imp free, he can go exploring some, too
oh, I assumed Ilmatar had looked down there
the ogre's unhidden on purpose
whimsy: query: how?
i woke up in the attic and cleared my way down
no chance to check the basement yet
from a character perspective, new imps have spawned, however, so itd make sense for ilmatar to check
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah
>Ilmatar: Descend?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ===> Ilmatar: Descend.
(Not) Literally A Bird: (ok yes leon will regain some health then go exploring. mooostly bc i wanna get some more tea and a snack >.>)
Wiwaxia (GM): K!
Ilmatar Nordwind: i don't switch on the light just now, no use alerting the imps to my presence
.... which also means that i dont see jack shit
Wiwaxia (GM): that's ok, the Phosphorous Ogre glows softly in the dark
Ilmatar Nordwind: well at least i have a target
a
big
Wiwaxia (GM): it has leopard spots and four red eyes
Ilmatar Nordwind: target
bi: big grue
i take out the torch, finger on the on button, but not on yet (left hand), blade fan in the right
how big exactly are we talking?
Wiwaxia (GM): it should be about to scale there
Ilmatar Nordwind: which means its partially immobilized by the fact that its too big for the place
Wiwaxia (GM): it can squeeze
but yeah, it's maneuverability's limited
it'll have a hell of a time turning around, frinstance
Ilmatar Nordwind: ....
im going to captcha my fairy wings before i start that battle
i might need to do a youth roll
Wiwaxia (GM): also note: your bladefan is well-balanced enough that you think you may be able to throw it effectively
Ilmatar Nordwind: and then i only have my normal fans to defend myself
Wiwaxia (GM): true
Ilmatar Nordwind: i move there
Wiwaxia (GM): alright
making an effort to be sneaky or no
Ilmatar Nordwind: sneaky
Wiwaxia (GM): k, roll a dex check
1d20+entire dex score
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 9
(
16
)+9
= 25
Wiwaxia (GM): it doesn't suspect a thing
Ilmatar Nordwind: i shine my flashlight into its eyes and charge to attack
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20
(

)
= 3
makes it's save versus the flashlight
Ilmatar Nordwind: shucks
Wiwaxia (GM): roll to attack!
also you get +2 damage from charging
and +1 from exceptional intelligence, I think?
Ilmatar Nordwind: my int stat is 13
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, that gets you +1 to all damage
Ilmatar Nordwind: ooh
-makes note-
Wiwaxia (GM): I will not remember that, so you chould
*should
it's on your character sheet, though
Ilmatar Nordwind: which i forgot to open this session
half asleep and all that
rolling 1d20

oh come ON
(easier hit b/c bigger enemy and small maneuverability?)
Wiwaxia (GM): ordinarily, yes
ogre AC is usually 9
but you miss this time

Ilmatar Nordwind: ::D
shucks, there goes the charge bonus
Wiwaxia (GM): it's gonna jab you
rolling 1d20

Ilmatar Nordwind: what made me miss?
Wiwaxia (GM):
Ilmatar Nordwind: mysteries again
Wiwaxia (GM): you could try an int check if you like, though
Ilmatar Nordwind: can i do that after the battle?
Wiwaxia (GM): sure
(Not) Literally A Bird: ((I'm back btw but i'm gonna let y'all do combat before i do anything))
Wiwaxia (GM): anyways, it missed
Ilmatar Nordwind: "neener neener, can't hit me, stupid grue!"
i attack

Ilmatar Nordwind: yikes that hits
Wiwaxia (GM): it bites you
Ilmatar Nordwind: rude!

Wiwaxia (GM): whoop sorry, misread prototypings
it just hits you, and there's no +1 on the to-hit roll
although it still hits
rolling 1d4
(

)

Ilmatar Nordwind: can i slip through between its legs to get behind it?
Wiwaxia (GM): with a youth roll!
so, dex check
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 9
(

)+9
= 14
good that i didnt use this on the attack oo00
Wiwaxia (GM): you kinda bonk your head on the ground and roll over your shoulder without moving at all
you wanna stand back up, or attack it from the ground
Ilmatar Nordwind: attack from the ground
rolling 1d20
(

)
= 6
oh come ON
Wiwaxia (GM): it's gonna punch you
Ilmatar Nordwind: -places bet that the ogres next actions will be in high 10's-
Wiwaxia (GM): at +2 b/c on groung
Leon Gaspar apparently took all the good rolls this session
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20+2
(

Ilmatar Nordwind: lol
Wiwaxia (GM): it punches the ground
this is the saddest fucking battle
Ilmatar Nordwind: i try to youthroll behind it again
rolling 1d20 + 9
(

)+9
= 14
............
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah what do you think happens
gonna attack from the ground again?
Ilmatar Nordwind: (this is getting ridiculous) (loling so hard)
nope
Wiwaxia (GM): stand up?
Ilmatar Nordwind: stand up
Wiwaxia (GM): the ogre's gonna attempt to jab you
again

-glares at rng-
Wiwaxia (GM): ._.
gonna move?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ive got it cornered
can i defend?
or do i lack the skill for that
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, but that would be in place of an attack, not in addition to one
rolling 1d20
(
2
)
= 2
nope.jpeg
Ilmatar Nordwind: not that it hit anyways
i try to youthroll again
because i dont learn from my mistakes
rolling 1d20 + 9
(

)+9
= 29
well look at that
Wiwaxia (GM): thaaaat's a crit
Ilmatar Nordwind: "third's the charm"
Wiwaxia (GM): you roll off the far wall and can make a backstab charge attack immediately
+2 to hit from backstab
+2 damage from charge
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 2
(

)+2
= 21
Wiwaxia (GM): noice
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 2d4 + 3

Wiwaxia (GM): You have defeated the phosphorous imp!
which explodes
in your face
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: big grue, down
Wiwaxia (GM): you take 4 damage
Ilmatar Nordwind: iit looks like i should go back to sleep again
but i want to check the basement for anything that could constitute a spawn node
somehow those beasts have to get in
and i want to roll that int check
Wiwaxia (GM): the door was open when you came downstairs
even though you closed it before you went to sleep
Ilmatar Nordwind: so next time i go to sleep im going to fucking lock it
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, go
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 13
(
10
)+13
= 23
Leon Gaspar: NI: nicely done ilmatar
Wiwaxia (GM): YOU PROTOTYPED A SHAPESHITFER YOU MORON
Ilmatar Nordwind: ahahahahahhahahahaha
whimsy: this session is going to be so much fun
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
(Not) Literally A Bird: oh dear god.
whimsy: potential for disaster ftw
(loling so hard irl just now)
Wiwaxia (GM): :3
Ilmatar Nordwind: So, I'm gonna go up, check the storm shutters again (closed and stormlocked), lock the door, double-check that the note i left mama about keeping stuff locked is still where i put it, and go to sleep
(Not) Literally A Bird: wait was 'you prototyped a shapeshifter you moron' the int check because
that's incredible
Wiwaxia (GM): yep

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:20 AM

Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: ok, some of the grues can shapeshift. that's because of the doll i prototyped.
(Not) Literally A Bird: well at least no-one prototyped a horrorterror. yet
Leon Gaspar: NI: oh god. okay, good to know
I'm gonna go ahead and start looking for things to prototype, i think
Wiwaxia (GM): I think I'm gonna tally up exp and whatnot and then you two can do some strifeless exploring
yah?
Ilmatar Nordwind: (do i know about sprites?)
Leon Gaspar: a+
(wait that was meant to be ooc)
(I think Leon mentioned them last session)
whimsy: ii dont think ilmatar is going to explore just now, with 4 hp she should feel pretty beat
Leon Gaspar: I would like to find some Cool Shades, something that is hard and could be used as protection, and a jacket.
Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: hm. ive run around the whole house, but i havent seen my sprite yet...
BI: time to check the roof
Leon Gaspar: NI: ... you prototyped a shapeshifter
Wiwaxia (GM): a < 1hr nap will get you 1d6 health back
Leon Gaspar: NI: are you sure there's nothing in your house that shouldn't be there
Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: ....
BI: point
Leon Gaspar: NI: sprites are capricious okay im just saying
(btw wiwaxia should i roll for finding things?)
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
cool shades are 5 in 6 by syllable rule
Leon Gaspar: rolling 1d6
(
3
)
= 3
gonna do them in order btw
Wiwaxia (GM): as is jacket
Leon Gaspar: so that's shades
then 'hard protecty thing' a.k.a. a shield or an exoskeleton or something
rolling 1d6
(
1
)
= 1
then jacket
rolling 1d6
(
3
)
= 3
Wiwaxia (GM): I'm gonna go with hard protective thing
not that it matters
(extra syllable)
Leon Gaspar: that also works, yes
Wiwaxia (GM): hmm
y'know what
you found a collander to put on your head
Leon Gaspar: ((perfect.))
Wiwaxia (GM): it gives you one protection and makes you look like you're fucking 6
Leon Gaspar is PREPARED for DANGER
Leon Gaspar: alright, time to go explore!
i'm gonna head out of the apartment and towards the fire stairs
Wiwaxia (GM): wait, wait, I'm gonna tally exp first
Leon Gaspar: ((oops sorry! totally forgot))
Wiwaxia (GM): no worries
also, you should decide if you wanna increase your protection on your character sheet or just remember it from your equipment
1 protection ===> all damage you take is reduced by one
I probably won't remember that always so you definitely should in the interests of not dying
Leon Gaspar: I'll add it to my character sheet, yes
because there is no way i'm gonna remember
Wiwaxia (GM): also the collander should be in your sylladex now
Ilmatar Nordwind: ilmatars train of thought:
hiding in the junk collection in the basement would be boring, so would be hiding in mama's room.
my own room would be a good bet, because then it can say that it never left, so that's right out, too.
the bathroom, which i haven't visited yet, would be out for the same reasons.
which leaves the kitchen and the living room, because hiding in the hallway is pedestrian.
the kitchen proper has too much things to hide in plain sight among, which would leave the hearth. a good hiding place, but i'm not convinced.
Ilmatar Nordwind: Wi, is there a third armchair in the living room?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
Ilmatar Nordwind: hm.
i tip the toppled one back upright
i kind of want to avoid the question "do i see anything unusua"
Wiwaxia (GM): also any shapeshifter worth their salt would be avoiding looking unusual
Ilmatar Nordwind: point
like, nothing obvious one too many
thatd be boring
i check the hearth from the kitchen
Wiwaxia (GM): just ashes
Ilmatar Nordwind: insidious. i put in a few logs, firestarter, and light it
and put a pan with milk above
Wiwaxia (GM): nothing happens
Ilmatar Nordwind: as in, fire doesnt start, or?
Wiwaxia (GM): fire starts fine
Ilmatar Nordwind: ah, good
hrmm
I (both whimsy and ilmatar i) kind of want to get some sleep, but there is a shapeshifter afoot
and milk over the fire
oh well
it hasnt murdered me in my sleep yet, so i'll probably me ok
Ilmatar Nordwind: *be ok
when the milk is hot, i make some hot chocolate, and go to sleep
Wiwaxia (GM): k!
Ilmatar Nordwind: and lock the front door!
Wiwaxia (GM): what, after you go to sleep?
Ilmatar Nordwind: before
Wiwaxia (GM): :P
Ilmatar Nordwind: ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): you dream hazily of blue skies, but don't really remember much
Ilmatar Nordwind: yes, im sleepwalking, you have found out my dastardly secret
(i checked whether i had mentioned it further up, but nothing concrete, so i slipped it in)
blue skies, huh
i looked out of the window earlier, what was the colour of the sky above the stormclouds?
Wiwaxia (GM): black
empty, really
Ilmatar Nordwind: huh
Wiwaxia (GM): you can see a brown and green planet in one corner of the sky
with large red... oceans?
and the other corner of the sky has a blue and black planet
and you can see a distant blue light above the spinning gates
Ilmatar Nordwind: hmm
Wiwaxia (GM): xp tallies!
Moss: 15 total damage -->150xp
+150 bonus xp
Myrtha:
57 total damage
Leon Gaspar: damn myrtha
Wiwaxia (GM): 1140 exp
+200 for first ogre seen
so 1340
welcome to level motherfucking 2, Myrtha
Ilmatar Nordwind: whoop whop
Wiwaxia (GM): Leon:
31 total damage
620 exp
damn, level 2 exactly
Leon Gaspar: whistles
Wiwaxia (GM): You have advanced to the rank of Garage Band Reject
Leon Gaspar: ((oh hey, asterixes make things italic. there you go))
whimsy: congrats
Leon Gaspar suddenly feels accomplished!
whimsy: that level name is awesome
(Not) Literally A Bird: yes i wanted to say actually i appreciate the level names
Wiwaxia (GM): thank you!
also I bumped up your exp for you so don't bump it up again
(Not) Literally A Bird: :3
Wiwaxia (GM): Ilmatar:
total damage 24
480 exp
not quite enough to level, sorry
whimsy: heh ::D#
xp is damage dealt + damage received * 20?
Wiwaxia (GM): not quite
damage dealt + damage received*10
and then total damage dealt in battle by players divided evenly among all the players present
so you get double experience for solo fights, basically
whimsy: ah
Wiwaxia (GM): which works out, because they're p dangerous
as you have seen
(Not) Literally A Bird: yeah, makes sense
Wiwaxia (GM): and then damage dealt by sprites doesn't get factored into experience at all
also, level up stuff!
Leon (and Myrtha) get +1 to all saves, and their grist cache increases to 800
(Not) Literally A Bird: nice!
Wiwaxia (GM): this means that leon saves 75% of the time on ref saves, btw
(Not) Literally A Bird: this is a good thing
Wiwaxia (GM): alright, do you two want your current grist tallies, too?
(Not) Literally A Bird: sounds good
whimsy: yes please
Wiwaxia (GM): Ilmatar: 84 Build, 9 bismuth, 11 phosphorous, 10 rust
whimsy: no canvas?
Wiwaxia (GM): Leon: 56 build, 23 amber, 5 copper
(Not) Literally A Bird: thaank you!
Wiwaxia (GM): @whimsy, whoop forgot to add
one sec
5 linen
whimsy: do we get unidentified grist identified when anyone in the session picked it up, or only if we pick it up ourselves / get it torrented to accomodate for surplus?
tyvm
Wiwaxia (GM): and 96 build total
whenever anyone picks it up
which means you now know what you need for the flower crown && tablet, frinstance
whimsy: that was what i was about to ask
::D
(i'll shoot you a few more alchemizations this week, btw)
(Not) Literally A Bird: (Same here :P i'm excited. Alchemisations are my favourite.)
(well lore is my favourite, followed closely by alchemisations.)
Wiwaxia (GM): k, everything in the alchemy excursus should be updated w/ identified grists
and by everything, I mean flower crown && tablet, really
all the other unknown grists are still unknown

(Not) Literally A Bird whistles
(Not) Literally A Bird: you've been busy, whimsy!
i am impressed @ the alchemisations
whimsy: i could bust out about a million more
my bases are tablet, weapon, flowercrown
and then i just paste a rune or a tarot card over it to try and get an effect
Wiwaxia (GM): got no armor yet, though
whimsy: honestly?
mages dont wear armor
neither do fairies
Wiwaxia (GM): point
(Not) Literally A Bird: whimsy is the squishy mage of the party
whimsy: glass cannon
(Not) Literally A Bird: not whimsy. ilmatar. names are hard.
whimsy: ::)
(Not) Literally A Bird: one day i will stop conflating people with their characters! today is not that day.
whimsy: ::DD
ilmatar is a bit what i want to be like, tbh
she just does things, and isnt paralyzed by doubt
or fear
(Not) Literally A Bird: she's pretty cool tbh.
she and leon are like exact opposites which i find amusing
whimsy: i'm happy you think so!
::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: they can balance each other out :P
leon thinks way too hard about everything
whimsy: ilmatar doesnt think things through usually
although i fear i play her a little bit too sane and prepared
(Not) Literally A Bird: with their powers combined, they are...a person with reasonable decision-making abilities!
well, you know, it's early days! idk about you but i'm still feeling leon's charcter out
whimsy: no one really understands how those two are friends ::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: feeling a lot more confident w/ him today
whimsy: ::D
my own brain is too sensible for ilmatar, i fear

Wiwaxia (GM) scribbles fraymotif notes
(Not) Literally A Bird: that's exactly what's so great though! their friendship still works somehow
whimsy: leon stops (or at least tries to) when ilmatar is going to be stupid
and ilmatar acts when leon is stuck in a loop
(Not) Literally A Bird: and ilmatar encourages leon to actually do things and not sit, paralyzed with-- yes
whimsy: im ninja ::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: hehehe
haaaa this is fun! i can't wait for everyone to meet up
Wiwaxia (GM): yessss
I'm also excited for you all to start exploring the Lands in earnest
a couple of them, especially
whimsy: (i hope ilmatar doesnt come off as too callous, the reason she doesnt show concern is because she doesnt think there'll be a problem)
eheh ::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: me too! exploration! quests! sweet loot!
whimsy: cool selfies, ancient ruins, and more plot than you can shake a stick at
(Not) Literally A Bird: ahh, i think she's fine. i mean, leon's like 'ilmatar please take this seriously' but he also knows what she's like so he's not too bothered
Wiwaxia (GM): oh thank you of reminding me of loot
whimsy: (i want the moment ilmatar becomes serious to be a serious OH SHIT moment)
Wiwaxia (GM): Leon, you also got a sweet 1000 boondollars for levelling
whimsy: (for all present)
(Not) Literally A Bird: hell yeah!
whimsy: don'T blow it all on sweets ::3
(Not) Literally A Bird: (that is going to be excellent)
:P
now i gotta go find somewhere to spend it!
Wiwaxia (GM): so dyou wanna do a bit of strifeless exploring
or call it a night?
(Not) Literally A Bird: hmm
whimsy: exploring sounds good, but ilmatar needs to nap before that
(Not) Literally A Bird: as does leon; 2hp is not very much
although technically he took a nap earlier, should i roll for htat?
whimsy: im possibly awake because i actually slept before the session started
Wiwaxia (GM): @Bird yep, 1d6 + hours slept
(Not) Literally A Bird: rolling 1d6
(
2
)
= 2
nice
i think he was asleep for less than an hour
anyway, he can do some poking around hopefully without dying
whimsy: ilmatar is out for 2 hours
rolling 1d6 + 2
(
5
)+2
= 7
Wiwaxia (GM): incidentally, I think we're about 6 hours into the session, now
(Not) Literally A Bird: besides, he has his fancy new hat B^)
whimsy: heh ::D
(Not) Literally A Bird: Leon: Waste exactly 4 hours agonising over whether to attack imps
Wiwaxia (GM): pffff
whimsy: xxD
Wiwaxia (GM): I should start a timeline going, though
(Not) Literally A Bird: yes, that sounds like a good idea
whimsy: wi, can you see what everyone whispers, or are you not privy to that?
Wiwaxia (GM): just whispers to me

Wiwaxia · Oct 20, 2016 at 4:23 AM

Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: windows locked (even the one in my room), backpack ready, sturdy boots ON, door locked, time to explore!
(Not) Literally A Bird: NI: don't forget to take some water!
(wait)
Ilmatar Nordwind: BI: already packed :3
BI: although i might try drinking from the stormclouds
Leon Gaspar: NI: good job
NI: ...
Ilmatar Nordwind: wi, does pesterchum have an imageboard function?
and how much of the old world is still alive / online?
Leon Gaspar: NI: they're...probably not poisonous. hopefully.
Wiwaxia (GM): nope, you've gotta link with tinypic like in canon
Leon Gaspar: NI: good luck! i'm going to try to explore too
Wiwaxia (GM): and not much
Leon Gaspar: NI: gotta take some sweet pics
Wiwaxia (GM): internet's still up, but most of the major cities are on fire
most social networking sites are just peoples final words
Ilmatar Nordwind: tragic.
Wiwaxia (GM): or apocalypse liveblogs that cut off abruptly
Ilmatar Nordwind: any who talk of strange lands?
Wiwaxia (GM): some dedicated wikipedians are keeping the page on 2015 metor strikes up to the hour, though
Leon Gaspar: good ol' wikipedia
Wiwaxia (GM): a couple on walkthrough sites, a few tumblrs
Leon Gaspar: leon is very pointedly not checking any of his friend's blogs
Wiwaxia (GM): hard to find in the wave of everybody dying, though
Ilmatar Nordwind: seems like establishing contact to others is not feasible at the moment
oh well, my picture blog gets more photos from the bismuth cliffs
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
you step outside
there's a chair from the living room on your roof
Ilmatar Nordwind: gods
DAMNIT
BI: i knew it
(brb laughing)
Leon Gaspar: ((im laughing))
Ilmatar Nordwind: i wave at the chair
Wiwaxia (GM): it sits there, being a chair
Ilmatar Nordwind: oh well
i have four ways to go, right? along the cliffs, away from them, up the pyramid, and down the clouds
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
although if you wanna hike down to the clouds you'll need to walk along the cliffs a bit and then down the stairs
Ilmatar Nordwind: should i flip three coins, throw a d4, or throw a d4 and say ilmatar flipped the coins
Wiwaxia (GM): d4's fairer
also, I'll draw you a map
((no google LOSAS for you just yet)
Ilmatar Nordwind: idk how helpful my old environment map sketch is ::D
heh
losas? huh
i woulda thought lobas or losab
losab sounds nicer longer, lobas sounds nicer shorter
in order of mention
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d4
(
3
)
= 3
up the pyramid it is ::3
Wiwaxia (GM): roughly
up the pyramid?
Ilmatar Nordwind: ayup
Wiwaxia (GM): here, you can come see too Bird
for reference, there's a steep drop from the cliff you're on down to the sea of storms
and then those parallel lines are the slope continuing smoothly down to the sea
Ilmatar Nordwind: not gonna take that before i can actually fly
Leon Gaspar: :o
Wiwaxia (GM): good idea
you begin to climb
the metal underneath your feet gradually shades from blue to green
Ilmatar Nordwind: im taking progress pics every now and then, and panorama pics
Wiwaxia (GM): as you ascend
Ilmatar Nordwind: also of the sky
Wiwaxia (GM): you have a better view of the pale blue planet (?) now that you don't have to look directly through the gates to see it
you can also see big anvil shaped thunderheads, way out on the sea of storms
Ilmatar Nordwind: ooooh
-snaps pic-
Wiwaxia (GM): lightning flashes between them and within them
Ilmatar Nordwind: are the bismuth cliffs and the storm clouds like two halves of my planet, as far as i can see?
Wiwaxia (GM): you cannot see nearly that far
hell, you don't even know what's on the other side of this mountain!
doesn't look like there's much but storms for a long way to the ?????
you're gonna need to come up with some reference directions
Ilmatar Nordwind: bi: i forgot to bring a compass
Wiwaxia (GM): it's questionable to what extent "North" is even a thing anymore, though
Ilmatar Nordwind: details ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): keep ascending, walk around sideways or go back down?
Ilmatar Nordwind: keep ascending
Wiwaxia (GM): up ya go
the green turns into gold
you can see what look like pink terraces above you
with some gold things moving around
Ilmatar Nordwind: moving around, huh
bi: and i forgot some binoculars. oh well
keep ascending, but carefully
Wiwaxia (GM): you are more than happy to ascend carefully
given that you've walked like half a kilometer as the crow flies
and up probably almost as much
Ilmatar Nordwind: break/snacktime? ::D
Wiwaxia (GM): you've gotten to the terraces, though!
they turn out to be rice fields of pink rice
tended by yellow salamanders
the're shallow water held by a short lip at the top of each stair
i hope you're wearing shorts or like a knee-length skirt or something
Ilmatar Nordwind: hahahaha, nope
but im not going to step into the water
more like, trying to balance on the lips that hold the water in
Wiwaxia (GM): they're like 5 cm wide
Ilmatar Nordwind: a balance beam is not much wider
Wiwaxia (GM): point
alright, make a dex check
Ilmatar Nordwind: rolling 1d20 + 9
(
14
)+9
= 23
Wiwaxia (GM): you succeed in walking along the lip with your arms out for balance, wobbling slightly
Ilmatar Nordwind: ::D
do the salamanders notice me?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
a couple come over and blow enormous spit (?) bubbles in happiness (?)
salamander: hello hello hello
Ilmatar Nordwind: greetings, yellow one!
salamander: glub
Ilmatar Nordwind: glub!
salamander: hello not yellow one!
Ilmatar Nordwind: (the noise i just made)
I am called Ilmatar. What is your name?
salamander: I am a salamander!
Ilmatar Nordwind: (and yes this is a high fantasy / occult read person GIVING OUT HER REAL NAME)
other: salamander I am also a salamander!
Wiwaxia (GM): other salamander that is
Leon Gaspar: (i cannot handle this cuteness)
other_salamander: glub
salamander: where are you going not yellow one?
Ilmatar Nordwind: Further up! I want to see a bit more of this strange place I have arrived at.
Does this place have a name?
whimsy: (afk for a bit)
salamander: this is the Land of Steps and Storms, not yellow one!
but everyone knows that
Wiwaxia (GM): k, gonna switch to leon then, I thinl
Leon Gaspar: yessss
alright! i'm gonna head down the fire stairs and outside the building
Wiwaxia (GM): the fire stairs are a bit rusty and algae-encrusted for your taste, but seem stable enough
whimsy: (back)
Leon Gaspar: Mmgh. Unpleasant. I go very carefully.
whimsy: (watches leons explorations)
Wiwaxia (GM): the sky hasn't changed from it's peachy sunrise colors
Leon Gaspar: I duck my head back in and take a quick look around the lobby before heading out
Wiwaxia (GM): although some puffy clouds are drifting in slowly
the lobby is abandoned and watterlogged
you're pretty sure that's seagull shit on the floor
Leon Gaspar: eurgh. i decide to get the fuck outta dodge
Wiwaxia (GM): got a kind of abandoned dignity to it, though
Leon Gaspar: time to look around outside! what can i see?
Wiwaxia (GM): you're on ground level now, yeah?
Leon Gaspar: yep
(by the way i feel like we should decide what floor leon's apartment is on? either 6 or 16 would be fitting)
Wiwaxia (GM): directly outside the door of the apartment building is a highway
lets say 16
Leon Gaspar: LEON: wish i had a car. or a license.
Wiwaxia (GM): there's a couple exits that loop around under it and onto other highways in a cloverleaf
all the highways are standing on barnacle-encrusted concrete pillars in a calm sea
one of the exits loops back around to the parking garage of the apartment bulding
the main road you're on continues over the (oddly close) horizon, but you recall seeing it end in an abrupt break from farther above
Leon Gaspar: Hm. Gonna start walking along this highway, I think.
See what's at the end.
Wiwaxia (GM): you can't quite get to the end, because there's deep rifts in the asphalt you don't want to trust your weight to
you can see what look like more overpass-supporting pillars sticking out of the ocean beond
you'd be willing to bet there's topple road under the ocean there
on the horizon you can just barely make out what might be the other side of this broken gap
Leon Gaspar: even so, im not about to go swimming. there were other paths, yes?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
back towards the apartment
Leon Gaspar: alright, back towards the apartment!
how many roads are there? (sorry, having trouble visualising)
Wiwaxia (GM): the bottom of the building's below the horizon from the end of the road, but you can still see your room from here
ok, drawing time!
box in the middle's the apartments
you're on that road there
whimsy: (can i watch too)
Leon Gaspar: i'm still on the apartment map nwn;
oh wait
haha scrolled over, never mind
Wiwaxia (GM): one of the exits on that road goes to the parking garage, the other to some cloverleaf bullshit
there's three other main roads
Leon Gaspar: alright! gonna go
that way
or is that where i came from
Wiwaxia (GM): you are here, btw
Leon Gaspar: ahh gotcha
right
back to the box, and then...
this way!
'west'
if where i just came from is 'south'
Wiwaxia (GM): k!
"west" it is
this one breaks off even sooner, but there's a bunch of chunks of the road standing in the water like stepping-stones
there's a bunch of gulls on them
Leon Gaspar: close enough to jump?
Wiwaxia (GM): maybe, but not easily
Leon Gaspar: hm.right. try another direction. back to the apartment, then 'north'
Wiwaxia (GM): getting to "north" requires a bunch of loopy-ass cloverleaf bullshit
including one underpass that sweeps down to the water's surface
Leon Gaspar: hm. well okay say im standing at my apartment building contemplating the last two directions. can i see what's going on to the east?
Wiwaxia (GM): it's tipped so you can walk along one dry edge, but there's waves lapping like halfway up onto it
looks like there's a little bit of dry land with a building on it
from your room
you can't see it from ground level
Leon Gaspar: yeah i go up to my room and check out which way is likely to be the most fruitful
is there a road leading to the building, or is it waterlocked?
Wiwaxia (GM): you see some imps on your way up, but none seem to be particularly eager to tangle with a Garage Band Reject
yep, there's a road right to it
looks like it dead-ends there, though
Leon Gaspar: and north? aside from cloverleaf bullshit
Wiwaxia (GM): the "north" road splits and continues over the horizon, even from here
Leon Gaspar: hm. well the building looks like it's gonna be my best bet!
so, back down the stairs, trying to avoid imps
Wiwaxia (GM): the imps seem perfectly content avoiding you and continuing their property damage in peace
head to the building?
Leon Gaspar: head to the building!
Wiwaxia (GM): it looks to be a convenience store
from here, you can see that the road used to continue past here, but now it's little more than stub
Leon Gaspar: LEON: ...
LEON: snacks!
are there any imps or other lively-looking things around?
Wiwaxia (GM): theres a coil of rope that suggests that the highway-stub may have recently been used as a makeshift dock
nothing
the little island-knoll looks completley deserted
Leon Gaspar: -notes existence of dock. remembers seeing boat before, hours ago-
alright, try to enter the convenience store
Wiwaxia (GM): the only signs of life are some loch ness monster imps a ways off and some seagulls circling distantly
a bell rings automatically as you open the door
there's a tv over the counter playing static
the shelves look pretty empty, but there's still some bug snaks! in the vending machines
there's a rack of mildewed newspapers by the counter
Leon Gaspar: take a look at the newspapers, although i don't expect to be able to read them
Wiwaxia (GM): you can't, but judging but the size and number of headlines, there may have been some big news
or maybe they're just tabloids
Leon Gaspar: LEON: hmm.
alright, check out the vending machines
what's in there and how much for them?
Wiwaxia (GM): lots of packaged candied fruit and salted bugs
2-3 boonbucks apeice
some sodas
Leon Gaspar: alright, pick up 12 boonbucks worth of fruit and...bugs
Wiwaxia (GM): you notice that most of what's left on the shelves are things like "carapace polish"
Leon Gaspar: LEON: ...
Wiwaxia (GM): all the food and toiletries are gone
there's not even rotted remains of them
Leon Gaspar: right. guess that's that for this place.
at least i've got some food for the road.
(whimsy, you still around? you wanna take back over?)
whimsy: still awake, barely
Wiwaxia (GM): wanna call it a day/night?
whimsy: probs
its after 2 am at your place too, isnt it
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Leon Gaspar: yeah, calling it a night sonds good to me
whimsy: i'll probably sleep through the hot day hours
n8
Wiwaxia (GM): night!
Leon Gaspar: you good to finish up too, wiwaxia?
Wiwaxia (GM): yep
Leon Gaspar: i feel like whatever comes next is gonna be waaaay to involved for right now, so
are we on next week or the week after?
Wiwaxia (GM): next week probably not? unless people can meet on sunday my time
week after definitely\
Leon Gaspar: it'd be fine for me but yeah, i guess we'll work that out in the thread.
alright! thanks for today :D this game is awesome
Wiwaxia (GM): thank you!
C:
Leon Gaspar: c: alright! see ya next time!

Karrin Blue: How much grist do I have?
Kintsugi is down
Wiwaxia (GM): yep, saw
right as I was getting land descriptions set up, too
one sec
k m.: kintsugi is down because someone's parents found it
fyi
Karrin Blue: ?
how's that work
k m.: seebs got requested to drop it for a bit
Karrin Blue: so someone's parents won't see what they use it for?
k m.: we're trying to fix
yeah, luckily ita is password protected
Wiwaxia (GM): @Karrin
70 build
13 cobalt
2 indigo
whimsy: morning
Wiwaxia (GM): 31 woad
morning
Arxon: hullo
Karrin Blue: In that case, I guess I will alchemize the ring/hagalaz and ring/sowilo combos
Wiwaxia (GM): You made a Sun ring!
It's a plastic ring with a photo of the sun on it. Like something you'd find in a museum giftstore
-2 build
Karrin Blue: what would ring||sowilo cost?
Wiwaxia (GM): didn't figure that out, sorry
Karrin Blue: yeah soryr
i was just wondering off the top of my head
Wiwaxia (GM): i'll toss it in for next week
Karrin Blue: thanks
Wiwaxia (GM): and you're also making ring && haglaz?
Karrin Blue: yes
(Not) Literally A Bird: morning all!
Wiwaxia (GM): you made a hailstone ring!
whimsy: morning bird!
Wiwaxia (GM): it's a ring with a huge hailstone set as a gem. It's already starting to melt.
Arxon: morning!
k m.: oh shit, i was going to try to grab you to find out what, specifically, those pointy & dangerous gardening tools were at some point
whimsy: i'll be a bit inactive, i'm not quite awake yet and it's so hot xx_xx
Wiwaxia (GM): @Karrin those should probably go on your misc items card, unless you just wanna ditch them
@moss, oh thing I forgot!
you don't need to throw books
Karrin Blue: I'll put them in my misc item thing I guess
in my sylladex
Wiwaxia (GM): you have a combat sylladex so you can shoot them
k m.: SWEET
Wiwaxia (GM): also let's say one of those claws to break up dirt, a metal rake, a handsaw and some trowels?
k m.: "is the pen mightier than the sword? i don't know, but the fired book is surely mightier than the imp"
that works. i'll write it down
Wiwaxia (GM): and you can use it and kick something on the same turn
also, everyone should make a habit of checking over their character sheet and whatnot
some of you have bonuses to damage or protection that you probably want to remember
because I won't
(Not) Literally A Bird: Leon's still wearing a collander on his head
:3
Wiwaxia (GM): also because at least one person now has protection ^^^, I'm gonna stop entering damage on you guys
so you can remember to reduce it before you take it
(Not) Literally A Bird: sounds good to me
Wiwaxia (GM): anyone else making things?
or any other questions?
Karrin Blue: I don't have enough to buy anything else yet
so
Wiwaxia (GM): Ilmatar's almost got enough grist for gristtorren
but is not near her house
oh yeah, lemme get my maps up
whimsy: i just got an idea for a thing, but one of the reasons i haven't sent you anything yet is because i'm a bit away from my base
and not at all because i kind of forgot while learning for an exam and packing my bags b/c visiting my parents, no sirree
Wiwaxia (GM): indeed
whimsy: since mom likes maps, we probably have a compass and a sextant of some sort in our house
so i was thinking, minecraft style compass via:
Compass && (chip of my house)
Wiwaxia (GM): 6 out of 6 for compass
and 4 out of 6 for sextant, I think?
2+2 for guardian obsession
Karrin Blue: I should update Myrtha's picture to reflect her new indigoness
whimsy: rolling 2d6
(
4
+
6
)
= 10
Wiwaxia (GM): so yes on compass and no on sextant
whimsy: dang
oh well
not like ilmatar could use it
and even if, make use of it to navigate
because lol what are stars
Wiwaxia (GM): well, you can see a blue dot
and a brick red and grey-green dot
and a blue and black dot
whimsy: and i know the blue dot is perpendicular to my house
Wiwaxia (GM): point
that's a polestar right there
whimsy: ayup
and if i cant see the blue dot any more i know im on the wrong side of the planet
Wiwaxia (GM): yep!
or deep in a valley
whimsy: or somewhere where i cant see the sky
ya
Wiwaxia (GM): oh hey, did everyone see the timeline?
Arxon: Yep! But I don't have it open :(
Wiwaxia (GM): http://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timel..._FJvljQGLeRPo&font=Default&lang=en&height=600
if you want it
whimsy: dont remember, my brain is coming up with "maybe, but file not findable"
k m.: didn't get a chance to look, will do
Wiwaxia (GM): times are not earth times, btw
i just started at midnight so I could keep easy track of hours elapsed
k m.: hey, that's p. cool
Arxon: Lemi has been passed out for 8 hours
thats good she's a growing girl she needs her sleep
(Not) Literally A Bird: it's really cool. also i am unreasonably excited about leon's dreamself being AWOL and his sleeping colour therefore being grey
Wiwaxia (GM): :3
everyone ready to start?
(Not) Literally A Bird: super ready!
whimsy: as far as im awake
Arxon: yes!
(Not) Literally A Bird: ...well i might get some tea and let other people do their things first, since leon got pretty far before we stopped last time
k m.: yeah! i might be a little sporadic at first, helping troubleshoot forum
but i can take a break from that
whimsy: i'd be totally ok with kicking back for a bit, since i did a lot of stuff last session
Wiwaxia (GM): I think I'll start with lemi, because Arxon missed last week

(Not) Literally A Bird high fives whimsy
Wiwaxia (GM): you wake up in a dark room
your candle has burned out and the only light is a dim lavender glow from your sprite
which seems very agitated
Lemi Malloy: Oh hey! That wasn't there when I passed out
I stand up, looking around the room to make sure we're alone
(also how much hp has Lemi recovered?)
Wiwaxia (GM): Nessiesprite jitters anxiously over the burned out candle and spews cryptozoology wingding sounds
1d6+8
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d6+8
(
5
)+8
= 13
I look at the candle to see if it's able to be lit again
Wiwaxia (GM): there isn't anything the room that you can see, but there's an unexplainable feeling of being hunted running up and down your spine and the shadows do not look friendly
nope
it's burned all the way down to a puddle of way
you've got 2 more candles and a box of matches that you grabbed earlier, though
Lemi Malloy: Ok!
Hopefully these candles will last until I can alchemize something more permanent+portable
I try and light another candle?
Wiwaxia (GM): can I get a grace check?
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20+13
(
4
)+13
= 17
Wiwaxia (GM): you've almost got the candle lit when it feels like the darkness pushes in on it and snuffs it out
try again?
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20+13
(
11
)+13
= 24
Wiwaxia (GM): the same thing almost happens, but you manage to will enough light into the flame to light the candle
the shadows recoil like scared animals
Lemi Malloy: HA! Take that, shadows!
.....Please tell me my computer didn't break at any point during the fight
Wiwaxia (GM): you didn't throw your axe straight into it, so it's alright
it's even fully charged!
looks like the electricity's working, even if the lights aren't
Lemi Malloy: Wow! That's convenient!
Well, I guess time to go out into the world again? I very cautiously open the door.
Wiwaxia (GM): everything is dead silent
you wanna move yourself so I can reveal stuff appropriately?
Lemi Malloy: Right!
oh wait
Wiwaxia (GM): hallway looks empty enough
nessiesprite bobs along behind you
Lemi Malloy: At least I'm not alone...
I creep into the hall
Wiwaxia (GM): still no sign of imps
or your Sis, for that matter
Lemi Malloy: Maybe she's in the basement?
No way I'm going down there, though.
I go towards the living room
Wiwaxia (GM): you misremember the way down and smack facefirst into a wall
Lemi Malloy: Stupid dark house with it's stupid dark halls
ok, take two?
Is there any imps near the ladder?
Wiwaxia (GM): there's one under the ladder, looks like
(To GM) rolling 3d3
(
1
+
3
+
2
)
= 6
Lemi Malloy: How tough does it look?
Wiwaxia (GM): one sec
same kind as you fought earlier, but without the creepy-ass hair
it's wearing weaboo clothes and has a racoon skull for a head
Lemi Malloy: that looks tough!
Maybe I can sneak around it?
Ok, so I creep down the stairs as quietly as possible
Wiwaxia (GM): You'd be going right over it's head
dex check to be quiet or reconsider?
also note that you have a light
Lemi Malloy: Right
ok then, sneaking probably not the best idea. If I go down, though, it'll definitely have the upper hand
I look around for something I could maybe drop on it through the ladder?
Wiwaxia (GM): you find a heavy book
Lemi Malloy: Then I'll just try and drop that on the imps head
Wiwaxia (GM): k, can you roll 1d20 to hit?
i'll go pull up the falling damage table
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d20
(
11
)
= 11
Wiwaxia (GM): that hits
about how far a drop is it?
1 story, so ~3m?
Lemi Malloy: sounds right
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d2
(
2
)
= 2
it dies
Lemi Malloy: hell yeah!
Does Nessiesprite have arms?
Wiwaxia (GM): fins
Lemi Malloy: I high five the fin
Wiwaxia (GM): nessiesprite gives you some fin
Lemi Malloy: Yay!
ok, I go down the ladder!
Wiwaxia (GM): k gimme a sec
hoo boy
copy pasting isn't working for some reason
please hold
k
got that sorted
Lemi Malloy: ok
Wiwaxia (GM): i've gotta work on streamlining imp set up
something is... emitting shadows?
that doesn't make sense
but it seems to be happening
that or your house suddenly has a wall that Leon didn't put there
Lemi Malloy: Ok that seems. Bad.
Maybe I should go out the back door
Wiwaxia (GM): proceed?
Lemi Malloy: Yes!
Wiwaxia (GM): you find yourself in a dark, twisted forest
your house is in a clearing of jagged, blood-red rock that casts jumping shadows in your candlelight
Karrin Blue: well that's ominous
Wiwaxia (GM): :3
Lemi Malloy: ok, so
I am going to creep back inside my house and go back up the ladder
If I am journeying into a realm of terror and shadows I am gonna do it with my camera and my laptop
Wiwaxia (GM): yeah, you're getting ambushed
one sec
Lemi Malloy: thought so
Wiwaxia (GM): rolling 1d20
(
16
)
= 16
something jabs at you from the shadows and catches you in the shin as you climb up
rolling 1d4
(
4
)
= 4
damage
Lemi Malloy: AH!
Wiwaxia (GM): aaand roll a d6 for initiative
rolling 1d6
(
4
)
= 4
Lemi Malloy: rolling 1d6
(
1
)
= 1
Wiwaxia (GM): oof
Lemi Malloy: I CAN SEE HOW THIS IS GOING
Wiwaxia (GM): the darkness withdraws, however
Lemi Malloy: Well at least it isn't beating the shit outta me?
I continue up the ladder very cautiously
ok, back into my room
Wiwaxia (GM): a shadowy shape jumps at you through the wall and bounces off the light of your candle like it was a wall
Lemi Malloy: I take a step towards it, holding my candle out in front of me
Wiwaxia (GM): it doesn't move
it looks a lot more washed-out in the light
Lemi Malloy: Is it an imp?
Wiwaxia (GM): nope
more like some sort of wraith
it looks pretty insubstantial to be honest
Lemi Malloy: I take a couple more stemps towards it
*steps
Wiwaxia (GM): it lashes out and swipes at you
rolling 1d20
(
17
)
= 17
a clawlike shadow passes through your arm, leaving a deathly chill
rolling 1d4-1
(
3
)-1
= 2
damage
btw
Wiwaxia (GM): what are you doing?
Lemi Malloy: mk
I jump back!
Wiwaxia (GM): where?
Lemi Malloy: to about there
Wiwaxia (GM): it jumps after you but cannot enter your circle of light
again
it makes a low hissing sound of... frustration?
and circles around the edge of your candlelight
Lemi Malloy: alright
I captchalogue my laptop, moving as little as possible
and look around the room for my camera?
Wiwaxia (GM): 's there
Lemi Malloy: Alright, so I back up to here
Wiwaxia (GM): the wraith goes through the wall and vanishes
Lemi Malloy: ok
I still creep along the wall to my camera
and put it in my syllabus?
Wiwaxia (GM): sylladex, but yes
Lemi Malloy: right duh
Wiwaxia (GM): you should have a misc items card you can write it on
in the handouts tab
brb, and then move to someone else, I think
