OoC 47: Putting the K in Chaos

Spoiler: Magtok you could've of just posted this in Outside

According to Aric's last post involving the potato dragons:

...
As for Tobias, the ground around him will begin to churn, potato dragons rising from the quickly softening ground and growling.
Nyor!
Good sir, I suggest you salvage what's left of this mission...by leaving...hmm?
If not, my fellows and I will be forced to dispose of you...
Nyor!

Nyor...

NYOR!

Hmmm, the potato dragons are quite aggressive...how odd...
...

They popped up around Tobias, who was still in the valley, not half a mile up the steep slope to be "trapped in the fortress". I think this could just be another instance of confusion arising from people picturing a scene differently, so I want to clear it up. But it would not be the first time liberties were taken with me, which is why I at least want an explanation, if that does turn out to be the case.

[ThirdEmperor]

Sounds like a misunderstanding then.

In any case, here's poking you towards Hunting Grounds.

[Rebonack]

I've got a [Red Zone Apartment Complex] that has been over-run by wights. If anyone is interested, it can be treated as either a Survival Horror sorta dealy or as a Monster Mash depending on how helpless your PC is. Just remember, wights are SUPER infectious! Be careful around those things!

Many apologies, I misunderstood and thought Tobias suddenly created a fortress around himself. I will edit accordingly, which may prompt others to do so as well.

EDIT: Also, was I escalating, like Magtok said I was? I was trying not to...

*prods people in the Black Dragon's Den*

There's odd happenings afoot!

Fell free to skip me for now. I just can't come up with a post.

[Hattish Thing]

Okay, so, I've been thinking and discussing in the chat some new ideas. I've played a lot of villains in the past, and have been interested in some less-evil things.

So, I've been thinking of creating a council of five wizards, united together to go about the Nexus and help others. So, they'd travel about the Nexus, saving those in peril, and helping those in need. Maybe clean up the Red Zone. They'd be fairly strong, but I don't intend for any real PVP to occur, and obviously not in an antagonistic sense.

The story is that Haldavyr, once a particularly unpleasant alchemist, lived his life as a rather callous and unkind person. However, there was an attack upon his shop one day, and the robbers were going to kill his only employee. In an odd sequence of events, he ended up taking a bullet for the employee and was killed. However, he was magically brought back to life in a field Outside, gifted with five magical staffs. Now, he goes about trying to help the people.

And of course, he needs others to help him.

Anyone interested in playing one of these wizards? We have one played by Aric, and another possibly, played by Recaiden. So two more.

I would be incredibly interested. That sounds really fun. Is it possible to use characters we already have, or would we be making new ones up entirely? If each member of the council would represent their own specialty type magic, I could use Eternus as its authority on chronomancy for instance.

You can do either, whatever you'd like is fine. Just make up a power the staff would grant, and what it looks like. You can absolutely use Eternus, though I'm not too well-versed on who that is...

[Aric Kale]

Fortunately, Solid has done us a solid and posted a link in his Sig. I'm familiar, having read it before.

My wizard, if y'all haven't guessed already, is Jern Farlen, though as a member of the Stormguard, he is known as Jerlynfran.
His main powers focus on earth and stone, though he dabbles in enchanting...how do you think he made Potato Dragons?

[Arkhosia]

Selective breeding?

Anyways, I think we should all formally welcome RabbitHoleLost back. I have already by having Rabbit Vasque meet Caelynn and Alexis when she returned.
Truly a beautiful coincidence (no seriously I didn't know of her backstory)!

[ThePhantom]

Welcome back Rabbit.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Yay! Return of the Rabbit!

[Lord Magtok]

Nobody's obligated to drop everything and pay attention to Malice in SHEOL, I feel I should point out. Same logic used for the 'smoking section' of Trog's should be valid here, too. Getting that across now, before anyone feels I'm ruining their scene or something.

[ThirdEmperor]

Alexandrian? I don't mean to be a bother and I know you have limited time to post, but if you could please answer my PM? It's pretty important.

Well, nobody apart from Happy, Ashna, and Krystal, of course.

Anyways, I'm all for this. Should be fun!

[RabbitHoleLost]

Yo

just wanted to let you all know that, if we're interacting, I have a really weird schedule. I work 8 days in a row, 10 hour shifts, from 10 pm to 8 am
and then I have 6 days off
And last night marked the first day of my "on" shift
if this is incompatible for you and you just wanna drop whatever, that's cool and I'm perfectly understand. I know how frustrating it can be trying to do stuff with someone who isn't ever on at the same time as you

[ThirdEmperor]

Just putting in a friendly word and inviting you to join the chat channel we've got going on #gitpnexus .
And welcome back.

[Ashen Lilies]

Gonna set a watch on it
Just so I know when you're online for it
I'll label it "Tulsa Time"



*flees to much booing*

[Lost_Deep]

Okay, I'm back. Feel free to poke me to places I need to be, there's a good chance I have forgotten some things.

Where would Eternus be, when he'd come across one of the wizards to be recruited?

[Deathkeeper]

Hi Lost! Inside has been pretty busy. I can find you the last Zaff's Off-Campus posts if you'd like.

[RabbitHoleLost]

And I'm sorry to other players in the Tavern if I cut you out :(
and I'm doubly sorry because I reaaaally need to go back to sleep now.
Thanks for your patience <3

[Felandria]

Among other places, Felandria is wandering around Zafflebrod's, looking for an office to claim and students to mentor.

No needs to fret!
Also, what other character are you planning to use?

[Solidarity]

He could be anywhere. The reason I was excited for this was because the goal of the council matches up with what I had Eternus doing all along. He generally avoids big cities, but other than that he's been wandering the nexus and randomly helping people with their issues. I'm cool with him popping up anywhere for the story.

If you'd rather some new character for your council instead, I've already made another magic user that I can have start from scratch if it's easier. He'd be a Life Magus, controlling the flow of vitality in living beings (big on buffs, healing and whatnot). I haven't posted him yet bc I need a bit more background about the council so I could more easily fit it into his backstory.

Either way, let me know what works best. It all sounds really fun.

Mmm, out of my old characters...nobody else so unintentionally tied to one of yours, I'm betting
I'll pull Hitomi out of retirement, probably (eventually). She's a little more pleasant, but still leans towards the "not good" side of things, despite the fact she hung around HALO more often than not, back in ye olde days

Well, Jern has already made a foreshadowy pun about Eternus, lord knows how.

I think it'd be simple enough for you to meet us in Srs plots, but Hatter would have to confirm.

I would like the Stormguard to build a wizard tower together, each of them putting something magical into it.

EI: Jern would build the stone structure of the tower itself, since stone and earth are his element/theme.
Haldavyr could cement the stone with steel, and give the tower structure on other areas.
Eternus could place his time magic around the tower to preserve how long it lasts. Also speed up how quickly they build the tower
Idk what Cleo would do, so any thoughts are helpful.

[Calemyr]

Arkhosia - is there going to be any payoff for the whole Titan Hunting fiasco?

If not, Jax (and the rest of Faceless J) is going to be a free agent again.

[Recaiden]

I'm not sure cement works that way.

But at least one thing she'd do is work magic into the stones and steel of the tower.
And/or add a living, treelike component to/through it.
