Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate

[Toliudar]

Oh, a fanatic. Great.

A more accurate term might be "doomsday cultist." Enjoy.

[Ozzy_G]

Never trust the Man.

In the new world, beer will be cheaper if you bring the seller back the empty keg.

A more accurate term might be "doomsday cultist."

A more accurate term might be "hippy doomsday cultist."

[Lycar]

As long as she doesn't break out in hives around nobles, she should be fine.

Heh, so the game all but started but I have a good feeling that Verlyn will be very enjoyable to play.

Of course, with the bunch of psychopaths adventurers he hired to protect him, it bodes that Verlyn himself will also have a lot of 'fun' ahead of him.

(Ozzy, I took a little liberty with that short exchange between Verlyn and Kohan, if you think that needs adjusting, just tell me please?)

Lycar

[Toliudar]

Lovely, entertaining vignettes. I look forward to more insanity ahead!

[Ozzy_G]

Does Reyhan look like he did the night before?

[NobleSavage]

Yes, he does. Though it is natural this time.

He usually only uses the Magic Hat to cover his assumed form, usually a Darkstalker, with a glamer of his actual appearance.

[Lycar]

Gah people!

I go to be dearly one weekend and you all post half a page without me!

Seems like all of our characters are off to a good start though.

Lycar

[The Great Skenardo]

Mwahaha, no one's guessed Jackel's secret yet:

Spoiler

Show

He's Sumner in disguise!

[knewsom]

Oh, I think we'll figure out what his secret is next full moon, if my hunch is right...

[Toliudar]

Hmm. And here I thought that his secret was that he's a mage slayer with a secret desire to destroy all magic.

[The Great Skenardo]

Oh, I think we'll figure out what his secret is next full moon, if my hunch is right...

...He's actually a woman?

[knewsom]

Hmm. And here I thought that his secret was that he's a mage slayer with a secret desire to destroy all magic.

*gulp*

[The Great Skenardo]

Hmm. And here I thought that his secret was that he's a mage slayer with a secret desire to destroy all magic.

Heh. So he's just taking jobs from Davethran nobles so he can kill them later? A variation on the old Highwayman's creed: "Your Money and your life!"
You'd get a pretty bad rep as a mercenary if you took that as your business model, though.

[Toliudar]

You're assuming that he thinks of himself as a businessman. As opposed to, say, a visionary. A god. A force of nature.

[The Great Skenardo]

A force of a sexy nature

[Lycar]

Hehe. Whatever Jackel's dirty little secret is, I am confident we will not learn about it too soon.

Where would be the fun in that?

I wonder if there are pirates in the bitter sea though.

If there are, we could pull an 'Asterix & Obelix' on them...

Lycar:

[Ozzy_G]

Does anyone have anything they want to do before the evening meal?

[Toliudar]

Dion will be creating water for the basin in the women's room, to give her a chance to freshen up. [Shakes fists at WOTC for not making Prestidigitation a cleric spell.] Suppose she'll start chatting with Runa, if she's also hanging out in the room.

[The Great Skenardo]

Jackel will take whatever comes his way, but that's about it. Before dinner he'll re-dress and don his armor.

[Lycar]

Hrm, Verlyn may be curious about Runa's chat with that Jackel guy, but if she doesn't approach him, he'll just kill time until the evening.

Lycar

[Ozzy_G]

You going to make that silent Knewsom?

[knewsom]

You know it!

[Lycar]

Verlyn just waits for dinnertime, unless Kohan feels like offering advice or something.

Lycar

[Lycar]

Hmm, seems like it's going to be some time till dinnertime.

So I'll do something with Verlyn until then.

[Toliudar]

I'm happy to have Runa and Dion's conversation interrupted by the dinner bell whenever Ozzy wants - I was just filling with conversation.

[Ozzy_G]

Shall we have some listen checks for Runa and Dion then?

[knewsom]

listen check: (1d20+6)[23]

[Toliudar]

Listen: (1d20+5)[15]

[Ozzy_G]

Runa hears a board outside creak very slowly and softly, just at the edge of her hearing, as if someone was standing on it carefully, rather than just walking past like everyone else.
Which isn't necessarily all that suspicious though.

[knewsom]

Which isn't necessarily all that suspicious though.

...except it means that someone is standing carefully. ...right outside the door...?
