World of Warcraft - Interbellum (OOC Thread)

[MrAbdiel]

Hey, @Plaids. Check in here when you can to let us know you're alright!

[Plaids]

Sorry for not posting recently and not reporting an absence; I was recently seeing family and the flight back is arriving soon. I will post in the next twenty-four hours.

[MrAbdiel]

Hey, there's no mad rush mate, just wanted to check in and know you're still with us. Jakkari is the stable nucleus around which the rest of the wrestle with their various traumas/prejudices/fears/hesitancies.

[BananaPhone]

Your post, Plaids, contrasting with mine that came before it, is hilarious.

Just a heads up Feathersnow, you might have missed it, but outwardly Marion was very congratulatory to Mor'lagh:

Outwardly Marion looked unphased, however internally displeased she was. Offering a polite, congratulatory smile while she took a sip of her apricot brandy and gestured her glass-carrying hand towards Mor'lag in a 'yeah - you!' motion, the warlock nodded.

"Congratulations are in order Mor'lag - well done!"

[Feathersnow]

Mor'Lag thinks she was being sarcastic.

[BananaPhone]

Well that's sad lol.

[Plaids]

I thought Marion was presenting a supportive front to hide how irked she was. The description of her reaction made her seem like she was celebrating gently and remaining composed instead of wildly showering Mor'Lag with alcohol.

Mor'Lag needs a pick me up. Hopefully the title comes with some perks.

Seems like Mor'Lag either intentionally saw through the guise by using great perception or accidentally pierced the shroud by expecting disapproval and derision causing them to become unreceptive to praise or encouragement, leading them to think Marion was being sarcastic.

[MrAbdiel]

Haha. To split a hair, I think Marion was being insincere - she thinks it's ridiculous that an ogre won a beauty contest - but she's not being sarcastic. That is to say, she's feigning sincerity for Mor'Lag's benefit, not parodying it to mock her. That said, given Mor'Lag's melancholy, I think it's easy to imagine that she took Marion's words to be mockery. We have a tendency to hear validations of our own self-image, after all.

Basically Marion thought she was giving this:

But Mor'Lag took it as this:

Honestly, I wonder how Isaera would react to that news when she finds out.

[Plaids]

Just checking in, is there an estimate on the next update? If anyone is hesitant to post due to concern over cutting anyone off we can coordinate and work around it. I can push the scene forward if no one feels there is anything left to do in this scene within the tent.

[MrAbdiel]

It’s me, I need to drop a post responding to Jakk’ari’s question about the composition of the Winterspring chapter. It’s coming today!

[MrAbdiel]

Drunken-Big-Sister-Marion is best Marion.

[BananaPhone]

Just to make sure it's 100% clear, Windstruck, this is not me, BananaPhone the player, having a go at you/Isaera.

Isaera's "dismissal" of Marion earlier when she came to comfort her when she thought she was in distress, was quite hurtful to her. That's why she came back to the tent in a huff and started drinking, because she was rather wounded over being dismissed/overlooked like a servant.

Just letting you know, this is 100% role play reaction, not me the player trying to be a drama llama .

(and she's kinda drunk atm)

[WindStruck]

Maybe one day Marion will realize that the world doesn't revolve around her!

[Plaids]

If someone is suspicious of Roshorn I certainly wouldn't mind a quick investigation such as asking the other chapter next door or trying to pickpocket something off of him. Jakk'ari isn't going to be skeptical since he is sympathetic to Roshorn who is another shaman claiming to help his own tribal community like Jakk'ari.

Marion is going to Take 10 on a Knowledge (Magic - Fel) to give Emilia some parting advice in regards to facing the demons and the legion. That will give her a total of 24, which, for a PL 5 game, should be some pretty stellar advice that comes in handy at some point.

If that's not allowed and one must roll: (1D20+14)[30]

"So, the way you kill Kil'jaeden, you see, hic...is this..."

[MrAbdiel]

I'm inclined to say you can't take 10 when you are perschnickered, but I can't argue with a 30!

[WindStruck]

It's really simple. Just attack their weak point for massive damage!
