[Nexus] OOC 23: YO MAMA never called me back.

[TechnoScrabble]

I thought I already had? They're shaped like a stereotypical UFO, with a tau antenne box sticking out near the back and arms and weapons folding out of the bottom. Most are about the size of a man.

The construction drones are basically transforming tonka trucks the size of real construction vehicles.

Also, I posted twice before your most recent post because I coulda sworn I saw a post of yours, but it was obviously in another thread.

EDIT: You know, with people disliking me for Phil's very existence lately, I think it's high time I brought back Sinosure.

Also, now that Garrett's a normal arcanist again, he should probably get around to looking for Adele.

[Murkus]

*pokes TE to Trogs and Ghar to Serious*

Also Morty, I was already going to start playing Ordo more often. Maybe he'd be a good candidate for second-in-command, since Raz is deadtimed.

[happyturtle]

Probably should be several of those, but if that's the case, they need a different name than 'second in command'.

[Morty]

Hmmmm. Yes. I'm kind of worried about there being too many of them in relation to the number of members - which tends to be small - but three isn't that many. They do need a different name, though. Lieutenant?

[happyturtle]

Cat-herders?

[Lady Serpentine]

Adele the vampire girl?

[TechnoScrabble]

Yeah, the one who bit him in the first place.

[Morty]

Cat-herders?

That does describe their actual job rather well, doesn't it.

[Lady Serpentine]

Well, if he's hunting her down, he might want to do so quickly. Rael has a bit of a grudge against her.

[Murkus]

Sure. If you don't wanna do second in command, third in command, fourth in command...

Also, Technoscrabble, I'm having a character do a background check on Phil. He wants to look up criminal records, first, but I'd bet the rest would be up to you. What would he discover that might be notable? Financial records? Personal history? Commercial background? Educational and military files?

[Gullara]

Bwahahaha?

Phil was a tuatha de danann born to a pacifistic human family as an experiment. At a young age, he accidentally killed a fellow student at a school and ran away. He disappears for a few years except for some theft and vigilante justice charges, then he joins the tuatha military (the silver army) but goes AWOL because he feels his talents are wasted. Accidentally kills a mugger, more stealing from scrapyards and evil mad scientists, then he comes to the Nexus, most of his friends are killed, and he disappears up until a few months before the vanishing of the empire, does some private contracts, and then well, everyone's whined about the rest enough that you should know what happened.

[Erin's Emporium]



Crissy blushes a little at the compliment, but nods happily.
"Alright then, just let me know when we set out on this quest and I'll be, like, totally ready!"

[Erin's Emporium]

I'm ready when you are, as they say. I think we should start in places where people create - forges, art galleries and such. Maybe ask around for someone who did manage to create a golem.

EE

"Then let's go!" Crissy declares!
...what? She keeps a pack of stuff ready for an adventure behind the counter to be grabbed at any moment.

[Erin's Emporium]

Sure! Any ideas for the place to start? There's quite a few to choose from... Dorotha also grabs a convenient bag. Horatio is flying around her head, squeaking excitedly.

So, my character Dorota and her friend Crissy are embaring on a quest for a spark of Divine Fire to animate Dorota's golem. The Divine Fire is a spark of life, creation and inspiration that each alchemist trying to create a golem has for find for him- or herself. Does anyone have a location or character that can help?

[TechnoScrabble]

Bwahahaha?

Indeed.

Anywho, is there any chance Garrett can find her now that he's not a null with multiple manic depressive personalities?

Possibly. It would depend. How does she feel about Chaosites and Vampires?

[Gullara]

Eh, I'm sure he could come across her. Doubt the encounter would go a lot better than the last, but I won't dissuade you.

[Morty]

She's unlikely to deal with such people unless she's really desperate.

[TechnoScrabble]

He's likely to have learned from their last encounter. He's not Phil, after all.

[Earl of Purple]

How about Pontius's Custom Constructs? It's conveniently located in Inside, and hasn't seen much use in a while.

[Lady Serpentine]

Then S'Kanthos is probably not going to have her walk the Logrus, though it might help, and Rael is unlikely to try and help by examining just how he makes the things he does, and seeing just how he implants the spark of life in them.

I'm willing to do the Logrus still, though, if she has some other way to get there, but it would still involve dealing with Chaosites, probably.

Deadtime.

Genesis could definitely help, and do so in a fairly quest-y manner. More puzzle and social stuff, probably, and she definitely wouldn't just hand anything over to them, but she'd be friendly as well. They'd have to earn it.

Hmm. Genesis does sound like my best bet. Pontius's might work, but I'm not sure how willing Dorota would be to go to a competitor of hers for help.

[Gullara]

((TS, trying to put an end to the fight like that in one broad stroke not only stinks of being OP, it is also ruining the fun of others who just want to enjoy the random encounter. I will not be replying to Riley and I hope you choose to not continue that course of action.))

((Who said abything about actually trying to end the fight? Or the tentacles being able to stop an ork Nob? Riley wanting the fight to end isn't the same as me exacerbating it))

((Going to have to side with Ghar here. I barely get any use of Thomas as is, and I'd rather not have an entire encounter ruined and brought to a boring, premature end by one random screaming guy with a ridiculous number of tentacles flung all over the place.))

Okay, let's bring this to OoC at this point. You may not be trying to end the fight, but this action could put a number of PC, like Thomas for instance, out of the fight. The tentacle may not be able to stop an ork, bu there are other PCs. This completely ruins the encounter for them.

[TechnoScrabble]

To those in Trog's:

I am NOT trying to stop or end or ruin the encounter. The tentacles are entirely avoidable and killable, as is the twelve or something boy they're growing out of. If anything, this is probably going to random things up even more.

I mean, seriouslt, Rileybeast failed to kill a five year old boy when it first came out of Riley, and that time it was at full strength in in complete control.

*Coughsneezesomthingillegiblehiccupcough*

Ow. The whole cough-word-cough thing is harder to do than it seems.

Anyway, my 1:1 dealer would know where one of the last sparks of divine fire are. She probably couldn't simply supply one for them (...has to find for nim/her self...) But she could point them in the right direction. How literal is this "Divine spark?"

[Earl of Purple]

I'm also not sure how helpful the notably obnoxious gnome would deal with potential rivals. Yeah, someone else is a better bet. Pontius's advertising does state that you'd find lower prices at his competitors.

Something about Riv's explosives getting set off by Phil's investigative orbital probe thingie. Remnant got suuuper mad. Thanks, anywho.

[ThirdEmperor]

Don't forget the part where he hijacked all radio and TV stations, then insulted the entire Council!


EEEEEEVIL.

[AmberVael]

Well, if you want, you can just have them show up at her tower. Or do you need some reason for them to seek her out?

Not very literal. It can take many forms. I'm not sure a deal would work, either - it's supposed to be found either by long study or a single moment of inspiration.

Some reason, probably, unless Crissy suggests it.
