Rulenzio is aware of the abject failure of a Cup attack which took place. The side effects are rather blatant. She can certainly send Candy over to greet Arnulf, and is not in the same geographic location as the rest, so is not currently in danger of being munched.

Knowing what's happening to the others would be a Perception + Awareness roll. 3+ successes mean you hear / feel / notice something odd where the others are, using mundane senses. 6+ (Ring Shaping) mean you manage to tap into the local Essence flow, and may notice other things.

The Fox and co are just next to the former mushrooms / currently gaping Maw of Doom (tm). It's rather hard to miss - but you certainly had the time to perform ordinary chatter beforehand.

If you go the Ring Shaping route, 6+ successes on (free, reflexive, only one attempt allowed) Perception + Awareness will help you find out more about tried to Cup Shape you. Shaping in a Tainted land is hard, which is why the difficulty is where it stands.

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.
Sheet queries above. Mostly, tracking Abilities and bonus point expenses.

Ping?

Testing GM skills... testing... testing...


The OOC is here to ask questions, complain if I'm moving things too fast, get explanations for what I'm thinking about, and so forth - so feel free to use it as such!

Edit As a side note, my 'response rule' is more or less "Wait until there have been 3 replies and 24 hours since my last post", so as to allow people to interact a fair amount and not be doing everything myself.

I'm still here, but I'm not sure how soon Rulenizo should arrive on the scene. I'm guessing sooner rather than later, since she has dots in Awareness?

Go for sooner.

Or, as there is quasi-Wyld around to manipulate, you can narrate yourself into being there (and seeing Candy off) simultaneously. It's all the same waypoint-analog, so it's feasible.

Difficulty 6 due to lack of Wyld energies at hand - could be any kind of Shaping action you like, depending on how you're doing it.

* Turn up on time for the fight: Sword Shaping
* Appear to reassure the terrified mortal: Cup Shaping
* Warp space so you're there: Ring Shaping
* Obey the dictates of comradeship and stand by your traveling companions: Staff Shaping

ST, can we do wyld stunt here ? I would like to try to cause leaves to fall on the Maw of Hungry Mushrooms [tm] and cut them up like Shards of Obsidian Butterflies.

As for now I'll try to do a Fantasy, hopefully I'll pull it properly. Basically it is to make Mushroom Maw think of it's own scent as the most tasty thing. And provoke it trough it to biting itself.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days-life keeps on getting in the way, and I had to reinstall Adobe.

Sheet will be up.

Leliel: nothing received yet. Sorry to hear about your computer issues!


Rik: take a stunt die for the attempt - so it might work out... Rolling it here: (1d10)[8](8).

Edit Interesting...

Edit 2 For the record, I'm counting Fox's attempt as Cup Shaping, trying to create specific emotions in the thing. With some success, I may add.

Really ? I thought of trying something uncomplicated, a Fantasy, at first.

Rik: Shaping is (or should) always be linked to one of your Graces. Even when making a Fantasy or the like - it's what makes Excellencies useful!


Leliel: Sheet received.

- You haven't spent all your background points (maximum from background points is 3, and you have 10 to spend). Maybe some gossamer to fuel an Oneiromancy?

- What does your Oneiromancy do? Ordinary Object Conjuration is 1 point (out of 9 available once you've picked an Assumption), so there are lots of other things you can get as well. Beguilement? Society Forging charms? Combat options? Elemental Transformation?

- I'm not sure you spent all 18 of your bonus points. A Charm + 3 willpower + 4 virtues + Birth 4 is 16, by my count. So 2 left (and a background point).

- Which 5 of the 10 Cup / Staff abilities do you Favor? Occult, Socialize and Investigation, yes - but what are the other two? You don't need to have any dots in the remaining Abilities if you don't want to (though it's certainly allowed).

On it. I am no good at math, in case you haven't been able to tell.

Poke to ascertain activity?

Please confirm if / when you'd like to play. We seem to be hitting the summer doldrums, so there's an excuse. But I'd still like to know whether to raise a call for alternates, give up, try to restart, or simply go on...

Well, I'd like to do a few things, but I'd like to know whether removing the mortal from the scene will have the desired effect before acting. It's hard to keep track of other people's things, so I'm not sure where the other three are right now.

Heh, yeah having a bit of a similar situation here. Not sure where to go from here, and busy with Real Life(TM)... main difference being the busyness is entirely my fault.
