Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
And what special skills do you bring to the table? Pretend I'm some sort of lich who's interviewing you for a mid boss, maybe even a dungeon boss position. What makes you think you're worth it?
consider it a writing prompt because this sort of thing is one of my favorite.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
Why is everyone talking about the His Dark Materials trilogy like they're ancient? The first book was published in 1995! I didn't think knowledge of LGBT issues had advanced so significantly in 24 years?

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
For me at least it's not so much felt as "it wasn't known" as "the author just didn't really put a whole lot of deep thought regarding it to a little bit of worldbuilding." Which, I mean, is totally fine. Sometimes things can just be light fare, done for the sake of sounding cool or interesting.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
I possess a unique Special Attack called Drone, which can be used at will, takes one minute, abs forces a DC18 Will Save to avoid falling asleep. Know I realise that the activation time is a bit of an issue, but at my next level up I plan to take an Aura which will make it impossible for anybody to attack as long as they're holding a cup of tea.
Plus I can also fix the electricals in your dungeon. Flaming torches might be alright for prisoners, but what will adventurers say if they have to fight in such conditions?

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
Very high chance of getting a heel face turn into a mascot character, fired.
A useful ability that is predicated on some pretty strict situations. Good, but not miniboss or end boss category.
They'll say "oh no we can't see" and one of them will have darkvision. That said I like your gumption on modernization.
EDIT: Well Bartmanhomer, it's an impressive resume, but as we here at Avernum, Santana and X always say; bring me the source of your power. I'm gonna need some references.Last edited by LaZodiac; 2019-12-17 at 08:16 AM.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
No, that's fair, I have been trying to get experience slaying dogooders but unfortunately the kobolds have pretty much dried up entry level jobs.
Also I just remembered that the Giant did the exact same joke near the start of OotS.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
*Waiting patiently to be called into lich Zodi's office*
Whew! Is anyone else nervous? because I'm nervous. Bartmanhomer just interviewed for the position and he can defeat four of me! I'm not sure how we know this, since there isn't four of me, thank goodness. I've been told that one of me is a little much to deal with! heheh...
Sorry, I talk a lot when I'm feeling anxious. Good luck everyone!
I... ah... I have a fairly long adventuring career myself and have died multiple times but as you can see, I do not stay dead. Because of my demeanor, I'm usually considered a joke character until I do something cool. Though full disclosure, I'm usually only able to one cool thing per campaign.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
I was looking for actual skills (I was expecting like, actual Your Personality traits, but this is fun) but we always need a recurring minion. Hired because I like your gumption and because I'm envisioning this as some sort of shy deredere style zombified Agrias and this is cute to me.
Not for nothing but citing a god of lying liars who lie is not a good look.Last edited by LaZodiac; 2019-12-17 at 10:53 AM.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
Welp, so far it's been a productive morning! I got a new job as a recurring minion and the gaps in my backstory are starting to come together! I guess I really am some sort of zombie, which explains why I need so much coffee in order to function. Also my sickly, greyish complexion and why I don't bleed when I get stabbed... huh.
I suspect that Anonymouswizard reanimated me. That would explain why there's evidently clones of me and why I died so many times. I really should ask about that. I wonder if they're down to hang this weekend... I guess I should also ask lich Zodi about my new work schedule. I'm not even sure I have weekends off. Why do I never think to ask questions at interviews?
(edit: some of the traits that came up really are true about the actual me-- getting chatty while nervous, being shy, and getting underestimated until I demonstrate actual knowledge or competence in something.)Last edited by The Fury; 2019-12-17 at 11:53 AM.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
You have failed to in any way elaborate or explain how your abilities are special, or why your theoretical Lich interviewer should actually hire you.
"Tolerate" is being extremely kind. To her, and drow society in general, men are considered inferior to women (no idea how she feels about trans people) and best case scenario are generals, worst case they're slaves and expendable.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
Reference to George C. Parker, a scam artist who "sold" landmarks to immigrants to trick them out of money. Originator of the phrase "if you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you" which is an expression implying sheer gullibility.
Ironically I literally looked up this information yesterday to talk to a friend about wacky history things and I always knew this story, but thought it was a guy selling it to the government and ****ing them over and getting paid for it but no, he's just a ****ty person. That sucks. History was a lot more fun when I was ignorant of how it's secretly just a bunch of bad people doing bad things.
Between this and the Fabio Roller Coaster story, all my "haha funny" moments are turning into "set fire to bad people" moments. Which, valid.Last edited by LaZodiac; 2019-12-17 at 11:59 AM.

Re: Mystic Muse's Magnificent Masquerade Random Banter #225
True and disappointing. Let's do our part to correct that grievous error. Don't forget the sins and pain of our past, but do remember the good times.
You could take Bartmanhomer in a fight, absolutely. Based on what little I know of the both of you.
