Theme Week OOC: Snappy Thread Title Pending.

[Lycunadari]

I'd also like an park/big garden as public place where Lycu can live. I'll write down a bit of description for it in the next few days (not tomorrow 'cause my brother's wedding is tomorrow, so I wont have time):

Okay, so, at the current point in the RP, we've got the Wild Hunt pawing at our gates, and we're going to get an iron ladder to ward them off. I'd post, but I don't actually know what to do with the ladder. We could attach it to ropes and fling it over the gates, presumably landing between the gates and the Hunt, but whats stopping them from walking around it, or shooting down whomever is carrying it aloft? Sorry, really should have thought this out better.

hmmm.. we could use ropes, and throw it over the gate so it's suspended in front of the gate, at least that way we could deter them from busting the gate down?

So, drag it along the side of the wall to block them from reaching the masonry wherever it may move? Works for me!

[Duck999]

If we had magical shields to block arrows, we could have one person fly out above them with a rope attached to the ladder and swing it around to hit them.

I'd be less concerned about the iron gate and more concerned about our (likely stone) wall right now.

I think the idea was to use the ladder to keep them from getting close to the stone walls, like if they take a step left, we move the ladder left.

Anyways, what fun would it be if there wasn't an incident? I've half a mind to actually allow them to overrun the town and kidnap someone, so we'll be able to chase them into the forest.

You volunteering?

[Oneris]

You volunteering?

Do you really want me to?

[Duck999]

I think that maybe we have you be up on the wall, handling the ladder, an arrow is shot at you, you sidestep, fall off the wall, they kidnap you, we give chase. That would be good.

Bwahahaha! Once again, I am evil towards my OCs. Let's do it!

Okay, let's set this up.
Also, I am evil to your characters, too, it's not only you, don't worry.

Edit: You have to make the post, so hurry up, I can't wait until you get kidnapped to save you.

I'll wait until we have basic defenses set up before making that stupid mistake. No sense in emptying the town of defenders prematurely.

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

I can barely go a post without insulting my avatar, huh?

[Duck999]

Kendall is the dragonborn! Who else has magical shouts? I guess she could be graybeard, but she doesn't have a gray beard, so...

She's effectively INT based bard. It's the spell shout.

[Oneris]

Should I begin RPing Maethel getting out of her predicament, or should I start playing DM for your adventure in finding her? Or will you guys guide your own adventure?

i don't like the idea of you doing nothing. so i guess it's up to you, you could try to get out of your predicament, or you could DM, or something else entirely, or all of them

[Duck999]

You could, in your description of how she is escaping, control the enemies more than others do, and explain them a little.

[Lycunadari]

I'd be fine with you DMing till we free Maethel but of course you can also start freeing her yourself.

A question: So far we had probably less then an hour of IC time over the course of 2 weeks OOC time. The next theme week will be in less than 3 weeks, so if we continue with that pace, will will never manage to save Maethel and get back to town for the next change in time. That also means that the changes happen every few hours IC time - making life for our characters very hectic. Any ideas how to solve this?

Also, a worldbuilding question: do our characters know when and how often the changes happen, and with what accuracy? Maybe like a weather forecast? "Tomorrow we expect a change happening during the late afternoon. Citizens, avoid using your wings (if you have any) in case you're losing them and avoid other activities that rely heavily on abilities you could lose."

I'll do my best to make the forest fey waste your time. Or at least take montages for you exploring or searching or other stuff. Or the adventure ends early after a day or two IC, and we timeskip the rest of the week trading for food and cleaning up and stuff.

Edit: Start exploring, peoples, and create your own scenery. I'll only be guiding story and plot progression as long as the adventure isn't moving at a pace enough to finish in 3 weeks. While I do have a basic plot in mind, there is absolutely no need to follow along. ((I'm kind of a killer GM who's never actually GMed before. ))

What if it's a Sundown on the Seventh Day No Exceptions type of thing, so you know to expect it. 6 o'clock on Saturday again? Oh look, I have a bird beak now.

[WarKitty]

Oneris, in the interest of time, want to throw the trackers a bone?

The 'bone' was the metallic tang of blood in the air. I was kinda hoping you'd pick up on that so I could tell you which road it's coming from. Oh well. I guess I'll stop trying to hide plot points in fluff.

Ah it sounded like you were saying all the smells were coming from all around - hence why I didn't pick up on it, because I thought it was untrackable.

Ah. I was more hoping you'd make a post going "Metallic tang? That must be blood! Where does the blood smell come from?"
I'll be more direct next time, but, you know, you could decide to track the blood yourself and decide yourself what its source is. For now, I've made an NPC encounter. ((Prepare for terrible accent goodness))

Well, it could be consistent like this or it could be a strange feeling that residents get a consistent time before the change. Or at least, those who don't have rumours of those who do to go by. Perhaps shortly before the Change some people may want to RP their characters in transition or as 'normal'.

[Oneris]

So, um. What do people think of the direction I'm taking the RP? I know I'm kind of railroading it. Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.

I think you're doing ok so far.

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

Meanwhile I sort of derped and had my character uninvolved in that plotstuff, and as such I've got no real idea what to actually do in the RP at the moment.

we could always patrol the outside of the town, and see if there's anything useful to take from this world
