My Little Warehouse (OOC, Sign-up, & Information) (PBP)

Filled out Stairc's questionnaire at the bottom of Wrangler's sheet. Spoilers about him and things that haven't even come close to coming up are there, so don't look if you don't want to know.

A DC35 to climb? Is that with my 'Spiderclimb' racial?

Spoiler:

Oh.

Also, must apologize in advance; my posting is gonna be slightly unreliable for a little bit.

Hey, I'm Elacular. I'd be interested in joining this, but I'm kind of a noob. So here's the character I constructed. Are there any glaring issues with her? Sunspot

Seems okay. You may need to add details as to how you got into Warehouse duty, unless you join 'on the fly'.

Not sure why you took the +1 resist (with temp hp) armor though - you can't give yourself temporary hp, and it doesn't stack with "perfect focus" - you'd have a -1 damage reduction for a single attack, unless someone else gives you temporary hp. The +3 saving throws trinket is probably a better choice.

Also you might want to consider the talent that lets you reduce your weather-crafting prep time to 10 seconds (rather than 5 minutes). It would make it a lot more practical to use, more than a +5 bonus would (you're already boosted a high amount with it).

Sunspot will be joining "on the fly", here pretty soon. Being a Royal Guard, she knows there is a Warehouse, but that's it. Try and stay In Character in that regard; I'll worry about breaking it to her. I think. I dunno. We'll see.

*cricket noise*

waiting on jade to make IDs I think?

Indeed. I'm waiting on a post from Curunir.

Oop, sorry, on that now.

May I safely assume that I'm the escort? And if so, is there anything I should do to prepare?

Ok, so I think it needs to be Trotson with me. At this point, I clearly look like the leader, so if I stay behind that's bad. Trotson is the only actual doctor, so it seems he'd be most useful here. I think the rest of us have a way to get in. I would totally stay back if I could, since ash form kind of makes my sneaking in easier.

That's fine, probably the best choice so they're not like "wait a minute, you don't know anything about this!"
I don't think Wrangler or Terracotta can scale the walls and get in like Busker though, but I guess it'd be good for there to be a few of us for the guards to be able to see.
I'm personally getting paranoid about the statue, maybe gonna check that out instead of growling at the guards.

Yes, you are the escort in question. As for preparing? Do me a favor and roll Streetwise, and I'll PM you some rumors if you like.

Be my guest...

Dang, you all posted while I was away. I was going to suggest Wraith go with Busker, whilst Trotson goes with someone else (Jade?).

Reasoning is because Wraith is only one besides Busker that can enter via the third floor (flying/carried as ash). It would be discreet as well - Busker can turn invisible, whilst Wraith can turn into ash / be 'carried' by Busker). Don't think they care much about who's boss at this point - we could all be equally relevant if we just voice ourselves as such.

In any case, I'll have Busker go via the third floor route. Biggest worry is if they'll care about a doctor going around without escort, or if Starshine sees and recognizes me (did he get a loot at my face?).

To whoever is inside now: Ask about 'patient zero'.

Do we, by chance, have any Warehouse-issued 'Farnsworth's', like they do in the show, for communication with each other / HQ? Or does our Farnsworth (the dragon) do that role somehow?

Your dragon buddy is working on the radio-things like in the show. The implication being that, in this rendition, he is the original inventor and decided to name it after himself. Would be a good Level 3 boon. Until then, he can send you letters, and Arty can send him letters which he can then forward; but, unless one of you has Spike Take A Letter, you are unable to reply...

Arcana: 12 = 7 (roll) +5 (skill)
Probably not. Guess I'll add magical perception to the list of racials Wrangler should evolve into.

What would be the closest equivalent to a 'Vibe'? Streetsmarts? Perception?

Twitchy Tail would be the very closest, IMO. If you want, I can work on a "gut feeling check"; I'll get back to you.

Dangit, I completely forgot about Vibes! That way I could have actually had an excuse to have the warehouse looking at me. I'm totally taking some sort of vibey utility next level.

In light of the recent, official transition into the new Abilities system, I am inclined to ask:

-) How many of you want to switch over to it?

-) If so, how do we proceed with handling Artifact Talents?

Well, it's a bit annoying reworking stuff, but I think it could be useful, considering it gets us a free Cutie Mark (so a bit more points, assuming the other abilities aren't made costlier/worse than before).

Edit: Yeah, looking over the doc, I'd be losing two abilities that didn't make the transfer (Clever Tail / Audiomancy). I think I'd rather not switch, unless we're transferring the stuff not in the abilities doc as well. I think Wrangler would have difficulty due to the shape-shifter changes too.

Artifact utilities we could handle same way we do now? Have them cost 3 points? Or make them excluded from the other abilities as a bonus (since they're technically items we may not have available / have hidden drawbacks)?

Abilities system is good, and I like it, but I don't like switching characters between the two systems. I'd prefer to stay with the old stuff.

Hmm, should I go up or down? I'm guessing the 2nd floor is where Wraith/Trotson are now, and I can't really think of a good reason to justify my presence (and I'm sort of un-needed since they're already talking). Upper floors might just have regular patients and waste my time, though.

Can I try a vibe for direction?

I believe Trotson and Wraith are on the 4th floor.
