Sheet received.

Looks like you spent too few points on Abilities: you get 25 dots, plus 1 dot for your five Caste abilities and 2 dots for your 3 Favored abilities. Which makes 36 dots total, and I count 31.

How have you spent your bonus points? I count 2 for Birth, 2 for virtues, 3 for willpower, 7 for an extra Charm, and 2 for artifact (which is not listed with your backgrounds)? Meaning you have 2 left, if I haven't missed anything.

Is your Assumption permanent? If not, where do you get the gossamer to power it from - and are the requisite motes committed? If it's part of an Adjuration, what does it make you look like, and which Adjuration is it?

If you want unlimited ink, a 1-dot inward-facing Oneiromancy can give you Ordinary Object Conjuration for all the mundane ink you could ever need - and lots of other things too. Or a 1-dot outward facing Oneiromancy. Or a 2-dot Adjuration. Or a 1-dot Behemoth.

He's Yours.

Boss of bandits seems like best guy there anyway, witty, selfish and knows when to think on the run. Ideal Fox Clan member. Saying so, would Your Chaos Priest cooperate with my Fox in spreading gospel ? I have ... practical ideas, wich can be infected with Your stunning visions, and my Fox Priestess needs leassons in Priest-Fu too.

Also, I would like to ask You all in advance ... do anyone here have problems with Fox transforming this Tainted Land into Demenesne ? I want to claim it as Fox Forest, but gentle honorary memebers are welcome.

That's fine. All Bhudev wants is the Wyld to spread, and a monastery.

If that is the monastery of Fox Forest, so be it. He'd make a fine vizier.

Chmm, perhaps we could figure out something tangible for Your chaos-philosophy ? For example, Laymen "A little variety helps in life", Clergy "chaos is a philosophy that may lead to transcending oneself's limits" and Champions"Blood for the Blood God !".

But how Foxiness fit with Chaos ?

You know we'll need sort of Exalts to defend ourselves from Gods of Creation, right ?

Too much WH40K, my friend.
I prefer to call it innovation, freedom of thought and heartfelt inspiration !

But yes, You are right. *tsk, note to learn about hiding my motives better*

Saying so, should I begin working on Demenesne ? Any ideas how can I make it more fox-themed than just strange forest filled with foxes ?

Leliel, You know ... I may sound nasty there but why You need rigid structures of monasteries here ? Fact that we are chaotic shouldn't mean we do stuff without purpouse.

I want to fulfill my motivation, thats why I do my best to swell Fox Clan ranks, find a home for them, make everybody like them etc.

Also, I'm entertaining such thought: If a commoner Raksha have 0 in all mental stats, would it automatically follow commands of a Heart holder ? Because I wish to give my first recruit some superpowers as soon as possible, so Fox Clan won't start dying before fully forming.^^

Because Bhudev is a monk, and a monk needs a monastery.

If he's going to create a new religion of Chaos-worship, he also needs a few "holy sites".

Sure. I'll help gladly ... for a price, of Khorne.^^

Saying so, I think about expanding beneath Creation's surface. You know, so Realm Defense Grid won't nuke us too fast. We can use it as an experimenting grounds, and Your Monastery could be made as You wish it to look.

So, what do You wish to have carved out there down there ?

Rik: it's not annoying yet, but a bit fewer modern cultural references, please? We're not operating in Genre Breaking mode, mostly because that degenerates very fast into a game of tvttropes hunting - which isn't really what I'm after.


And, of course, it's probably about time for the overall first pass in terms of the game. Are you having fun? What should I do more / less of? And so forth. No pressure to reply (I'll assume moderate amounts of fun unless you indicate otherwise, in good or bad), but it never hurts to know where one can improve.

My deepest apologies, Meschlum. I hoped that my citation wasn't too ... out of it, I guess. Nothing escapes Your eyes. *pouts*

As for where Fox goes, he goes to Wood and starts working on it. After all his Behemoth run there. Mites would be lonely if I leave them, right ?


So far ? Overall 7/10 were I to judge things. Everything is okay, especially what Meschlum does. But, regrettably, I have these ... difficulties while conversing to other players. Not that my utmost admiration to everybody's efforts isn't endless like river !^^

Meschlum: Level of crazy is, so far, at the extacly right point. I do not know how You mix it, but I want the recipe. I'm afraid that You set my expectations of You on unreasonable level, I apologise in advance.

Party's antics, especially when we speak to others and interpret these words in ways no Creation-born would do, are both awesome and slightly off. Only thing I have slight issue with is when We, the Players, seem to ignore each other's posts ... without even reply like "And my PC completely ignored X". Wich is completely valid form of reply ! I mean, it notifies the other Player and don't leave him or her hanging in the air and guessing.

In my defense, the Fox changed the direction of his attention before I could post, as I had a really long work day that day. Now, to come up with a name for my newly shaped minion...

...I shall call her Candy.

You are giving Arnulf a Doll ?
And, knowing the direction of talking changed somewhat I did tried Fox to refocus on his talking with Crone.

IC it looks like she ignored him twice. Small black scroll is a inside joke, but seriously now Fox will have to ignore her TWICE, when she tries to speak to him, thanks to his Oath. Dang it, and I wanted to start producing Gossamer and trade with her.

Also, I would like to have some little help in projecting of the Inn for Carel. What should it incorporate to be the Best Inn Ever in Drayne ? And benefit Fox Clan ? I'm thinking about making it a Commoner Raksha. But I am not entirely sure if it is possible to make Raksha that are items.

Of course I gave Arnulf a Doll. She can provide him with much-needed medical treatment, such as for his Xytrisae Withdrawal. It's the sort of reward he deserves for his work in advertising, or in the short term helping Rulenizo bypass the consequences of ignoring the Fox. She could just ask the priestess to translate, but that may be too direct, and more importantly it'd mean that she'd owe the priestess instead of Arnulf. Rulenizo has an oath, too.

Mechanical stuff:

Due to errata, you are limited to Grace dice (or Grace / 2 successes, round down) bought with Excellencies while shaping. Thus buying 3 successes is not possible (absent Unsightly Rigor Approach). If this proves too annoying, I may revert to the pre-errata status quo. As is, it does make the Excellencies less useful.

Looking around is a Ring action anyway, so the Fox cannot benefit from a Staff Excellency in the first place.


Ganurath and others, do you want to make a Perception + Awareness roll?

Not my house rule. Official Errata. If it proves overly restrictive, I may houserule that the errata is wrong. For now... we'll see where it goes.

If you feel overly cheated by the errata, I'll allow switching charms from Excellencies to other things (though pre-requisites still need to apply).

Sorry, Meschlum. When I read it it limited Raksha Excellencies to Essence dots.

Saying so, is there possible to make oneself a Castle with proper Assumptions ? And, in a connected question, were one be a castle and a more normal body simulatenously would destruction of one of these kill Raksha or it would require killing both of these ?

Edit: IC has been updated.

Being a castle is simple.

Assumption of Earth Form, Assumption of the Land's Heart (or City's Heart) and you're pretty much set. Being aware of everything going on inside you is somewhat harder.

Other ways to do it are Principle of Worlds ("there is a castle there."), though you are not the castle in that case, or a truly lunatic Worker with high Essence, Assumption of Earth Form, and a pile of Gargantuan mutations from Fantastic Grotesquerie Shell (using Heart Stopping Numinous Power to stack a few more on top of the rest). In the latter case, Gossamer Wing Flight lets you have a flying castle.


When you use multiple Assumptions, their effects meld to define you together. If you're relying on the Assumption of the Land's Heart tree on one hand, and more standard Assumptions on the other, you do get to be an area and a mobile being. However, your motes, health, attributes and so forth are the same - so if one incarnation of yourself gets killed, it's you.

Dropping your 'mobile' Assumption while outside your Land self means you get to experience Creation without an Assumption (and melt). Creation is annoying that way. Dropping it 'inside' yourself means you revert to being largely non-aware of everything around you, but may survive. Doing this before a daiklaive goes through your head is going to be difficult, to say the least.

And then you throw in Assumption of the Person's Heart and find a sorcerer named Howl...

My question about that thing was related to Carel's wish for a Inn. I imagine that Raksha commoner with proper charms and mutations would do nice as a Inn. Also I wouldn't mind it to use this charms that I forgot to take for Fox, one eating dreams for Gossamer.^^

Supply of Gossamer ... so would such Inn obey Carel, who would be given Heart, of course. With Ordinary Object Conjuration Inn would summon whatever Carel wants. He, he, he. And naughty customers could be hit with doors, windows and chandeliers !

Is Rulenizo going to have to go through the group, and thus get snared in the encounter, or can she drop off Candy with Arnulf and let him get a test drive in while she checks in on her fellow Fae?

I instructed Carel to stay close, in case of attack. And seeing there is an Raksha abound I want him out of the firing line.
