Re: Strange Aeons: In Search of Sanity II [IC - Group #1]
Jean's eyes widen and he shakes his head wildly. "I... I was afraid. A man in rags... speaking backwards. A razor. Wingless vultures and crocodiles built of twisted bodies." A shiver crawls its way up his spine like a spider. "I died. Please do not ask me to remember that."

"I remember a dream... We were lost in a fog, hunted by hidden enemies, being picked off one by one. I'm not sure of the details anymore." Akbar pauses. "I'm not entirely sure that what we're living now isn't a dream. Especially when we have to do so much of it over again..."

... once the party returns to Losandro's office, there the outline of her once-broken body lies below the area where the party vacated her corpse.... easily seen as the kaleidoscopic mist that had spewed from her oneirogenic mouth is no more.Last edited by lostsole31; 2018-11-15 at 08:14 PM.

"Well, now we have something resembling a solution to all of this." Jean says, looking around and stepping over to the closet door before drawing his weapon.

After the normal door checks and Jena opens the door, he peers in and has to look to his left since a hallway ends right at this door. This hall is dark and empty except for the smashed remains of lanterns on the ground. Six doors (including this one) branch from here.
What now? Your door is the far western one on the north side.28JAN2024: Completed reading TPK Games' The Deductionist (2013, Everhart). This source is authorized for playtest.

"Indeed. First door on the left, then, I suppose." Jean says, and takes the lead as they walk. Before they reach the next door he takes a moment, both to listen and to focus inward on the burgeoning realm of strange mathematics and stellar voids that fuels his magic. To the sensitive, it's as if a soap-bubble of raw inertia materialized around him.
And then he'll open the door.

"Hm. Later, when this area is clear, we should ask Winter to send some men to clear this place - there may be supplies we can use. But for now, we should keep moving."
Jean then moves to the next closest door.

Re: Strange Aeons: In Search of Sanity II [IC - Group #1]
Jean turns around to the facing door. He checks it clear, then opens it.
S1: Stepping into place as the door opens in is a woman (AiO #3, not on map) in a dirty, rumpled yellow robe. She has yellow markings and very dirty skin, and she holds a table leg threatening. She swings it with both hands at Jean with a cry, but it bounces off of an invisible force protecting him!
Begin Round 1 ...
R1T22: She recovers quickly and swings again, but still can't overcome Jean's magical protection.
R1T20: Nadya turns into a misty form and moves forward, sharing the space with Lord Hanley.
R1T18: A man (AiO #2), similarly garbed as the woman but wielding a crowbar, races from his hiding place down the line of shelves to now flank Jean. He only just clips Jean in the neck, yet it hits him at just the right spot for 6.
R1T15: Another door down the hall opens, likely a second door into the personal effects room!
R1T11: Jean, you are being flanked right now (AiO3 is to the south, off-map). The man was surprisingly strong, and even though he barely hit you, he knew how to make his surprise hit count. Another enemy is about to come into the hall, no doubt, from the other door. What do you do? What do you have Javert do?28JAN2024: Completed reading TPK Games' The Deductionist (2013, Everhart).

Trying, and failing, to duck the crowbar, Jean slides quickly to the side while flaring his scimitar. "Wait! Monsters or patients, attack me again and I will kill you all."

Javert flits into the hallway, and hops from foot to foot anxiously.
R1T10: Lord Hanley brushes past everyone, and rolls past Jean. While not the best display of acrobatics in getting past, Lord Hanley seems particularly skilled at avoiding blows while moving as both flanking, yellow-garbed people miss him as he rolls past.

R1T9: Akbar keeps his back to a wall and waits for an enemy to come into view.
R1T7: Dorn rushes forth past Brother Jaume and is far better acrobatically then Lord Hanely was. It seems his sudden juking movement past Jean faked out both of the yellow-clad patients.Drawing his hammer on the move, he passes Lord Hanley and gets to the second door to the north and looks in and strikes that person for a whopping 11 (max)!Spoiler: OOCBasically, the folks in yellow have Combat Reflexes, so they would've gotten a flanking/ sneak-attacking strike .... but the 50-year-old man trained and raised by dwarves is surprisingly good at battle mobility.
Seeing the effect his strike had on the person in the room he calls out, "NO, Jean! Give honest battle to them to protect ourselves, but they are not evil - only insane patients that have been led astray, no doubt by Ulver Zandalus!"
R1T6: Finally, Brother Dorn, it is your turn. What do you do?

Jean feels his muscles swell and tighten!Spoiler: Brother JaumeYou would've lost your spell, but Brother Jaume is wise enough to know that he doesn't need to worry about an AOO when he has cover from those that threaten him, so he does NOT cast defensively and his spell is successful.
Stipulation: Though allies hamper missile combat, acting as "cover" ... they do not act as cover when moving through their squares, as was seen this past round.
End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...
R2T22: The cultist to the south attacks Jean, but Jean sets up an easy deflection with his own scimitar against what seems to be a table leg.
R2T20: Nadya-mist passes by Jean and Brother Jaume and goes into the room to the south, basically in the same square as the woman with the table-leg.
R2T18: The man to the north tries to attack Jean while he defends against his ally, but Jean's defensive style moves his blade about him with encircling parries.
R2T15: The man down the hall hits Dorn in the head with a crowbar, only doing 3 mod.
R2T11: Jean, you are currently in leaping spirit stance and using total defense. You feel incredibly strong right now. What do you do? What do you have Javert do?

Whatever Dorn's moral objections, Jean's neck is still bleeding. His looping movements turn the edge of his scimitar on his attackers, and he delivers a mighty chop at the man holding the crowbar before stepping to the side to try and draw them out into the corridor.

His looping movements turn the edge of his scimitar on his attackers, and he delivers a mighty chop at the man holding the crowbar before stepping to the side to try and draw them out into the corridor. The man moved back enough with the bulk of his body, but didn't include his foot and takes 7 to his left foot, while also seeming just ever-so-slightly out of sorts. Given no other guidance, Javert stays out of the way to the west.
R2T10: "Do you hear that?" comes Lord Hanley's slightly sibilant speech as he looks at the man now fighting Dorn. "He doesn't think you're evil. So, give up. Throw down your weapon, withdraw to the corner of the room, and sit down facing that corner until we decide what to do with you.
"Dorn, do be so kind as to allow him to react to that instead of smashing his face in, please."
