I was running on high hp and fast healing, actually. Those karish were also basically huge meatshields.

That makes sense.

Though, I don't see what the Karish had to do with it... The Siphons were targeting the Kyorl'Zuraj directly, not using their passive, multi-target field.

Some form of physical mutation growing over a period of weeks/months. Something like tentacles, or extra eyes in weird places- that kind of thing. Maybe something more esoteric, if that's what gets your fancy.

[Rebonack]

The main issue I've got here is that there's no way for most of the PCs (or NPCs for that matter) to detect, dodge, resist, or counter an invisible immaterial instantaneous removal of something that that will kill them if they stop having it.

Godmodding isn't just 'I shoot you in the face and you die'.

Godmodding can also be posting an ability or spell or even a mundane attack in such a fashion that it's impossible for the target to react in any fashion other than 'I get hit'. And that's what I'm seeing here with this unless there's some way to resist it other than being an Eldritch Terrorhorror or a Wizard.

Alright, so I don't have to come up with something on the short term. Good. I doubt it'll be as effective on Cynthia, though. She's a natural shapechanger.

Deadtime. Bye!

[Earl of Purple]

But as I said in the post, shapeshifting it away is uncomfortable, and the longer it's away the more uncomfortable it gets.

The D20 Artefacts have taught me that other people don't have plans for sudden mutation of their characters, so I'm slowing the process so you can plan it.

Also, it makes IC sense because if it's gradual Cynthia might be unaware of where the mutation started, which means she might revisit Silent Sleep for more corruption.

Eldritch Terrorhorrors aren't the only things that they can't detect, just the one that came to mind most readily. Anything that's fairly different from an Earth lifeform is completely invisible to them. So the Slaaneshi Wolfen, for example, is probably invisible due to the Chaos corruption.

Also, it isn't instantaneous. For a normal human NPC, it takes a full minute for them to be drained. A Legionary is going to take at least twice that. Wyverns will have even more time, by a considerable factor.

And any sort of magic or psionic resistance is effective on this, as is just being strongwilled. Or, if necessary, an individual or species can be stated to be specifically resistant or immune to the ability. It's powerful, yes, but it's intended to be, and there are plenty of ways around it,

One would be Rein Prime and the other would be Calublufiok.

I must be blind, C'nor, because I don't see your reply anywhere and I've scoured the DFI thread twice now

And...

Pokes BR to Remnant.

[Earl of Purple]

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Hrule bite.

[Lady Serpentine]

Nope, you're not blind, I'm an idiot... I never posted, apparently. I'll try to get something up in a bit.

[LadyOfWar]

No, no, C'nor, not an idiot at all. It is easy to forget where one has and has not posted, doubly so when playing a plethora of characters.

Take your time getting the post up, I'm signing off for today. I might not be on tomorrow, just a warning.

BR, I know you posted at Remnant, thanks :-D, and I replied. If you could post there again soon I can get my next move going as soon as I get online tomorrow or Monday. Please with cheese?

See you all later! - LadyOfWar

Happy Easter to you as well, Happy.

Also, is the beach party still open to new people arriving?

[The Bandicoot]

C'nor did we forget about the whole Quiz-Talnissa plot? Or did I just miss your post?

[Lady Serpentine]

Since you're poking me, apparently we didn't. I, on the other hand, spaced it out completely.

[The Bandicoot]

It's ok. Quiz just said Talnissa could go ahead and fix him. He's now hooked up to Nexus-Net looking up things like "ghost" and "spirit" and "deus ex machina"

Talnissa is not a deity!

Can I have a link, please? I can't seem to find your last post...

[Morty]

I seem not to have thought my Watchtower plot through well enough. Do you guys mind if I have Mścisław present at the meeting to answer questions and thus speed things up?
Also, Noodle, I think you missed my poke:

Noodle, I think we're waiting on you in the Abandoned Mine in Outside, unless I've missed a post. I would also suggest moving this plot to another thread, as with Rebo's plot it's kind of hard to keep track of anything else. Random Plots, maybe?

I don't mind that.

[The Bandicoot]

...You have sufficient experience and space are welcome to attempt repairs. Thank space you in advance.

There it is C. A bit short I know.

[The Alexandrian]

I've been gone for...4 weeks now? I lost track of a lot of things for awhile. Far too long for any of my more reasonable mental facilities which have, as of late, fallen into a state of atrocious disarray and disrepair. During finals week, I swore that I'd have a week's break from school and post a whole lot more, right? Well, I arrive home Friday all chipper, energetic, and raring to go only to find out...

We're moving.

And move we did. The event filched the majority of my time for most of the valuable week. What sparse time I did have that was unoccupied by menial labor overlapped with the periods where I was upset due to said transition. Posting here to notify everyone slipped my mind, and even if it hadn't, the post would've been written all moody and wrong. Not to mention internet access was soon gone for the most part.

Then school time came around again! I've been excessively busy since that point. Skyrim didn't help that situation at all. Neither did my dour mood, which I attribute to the gloomy weather and such up here. Melancholy had taken its toll on me until I met with a Star Wars RPG group formed out of 9 of my buddies last night.

Long story short, I'm back. And I've forgotten about much of what I was involved in before I left.

But every cloud has a silver lining! I've discovered, upon abbreviated review of my stylistic preferences, that I've been overusing the horror genre and I'm missing dramatic flair in most things of the same type that I post. I'll be dedicating more space to action/adventure-ish stuffs from here on out because aimlessly wandering around a dark labyrinth of a building while randomly plugging things into walls to see if they do or don't do something doesn't make for fun rp, I think, unless it is used sparingly.

So...yeah...

I don't know where I'm supposed to be posting now...

Or for what... >.<

[Mindfreak]

Well Alex, I have an update for you, we still have scenes to do for Dave and Clarissa moving into their new house!

Oh, and Dave has a free clinic in the Red Zone now!

[Lady Serpentine]

Well, there's the scene in the Riverside Temple of Dalachrech that you and iElf need to post for. Other than that, nothing I'm aware of.

[Reinholdt]

Curator I believe could use a post before it falls into necro land.
