Hey, Marsh actually has a character trait that leaves breathing room for "point her this way" due to being clairvoyant. Plus, that was most likely her next stop anyway.

GamerGoddessDin Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:15 pm

That seems like a crit-fail result... I rolled a 2 not a 1... and I don't have that ability that makes 2s be crit-fails either...

Elacular Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:25 pm

Huh? I could have sworn your thing said...

*rereads*

Huh. Alright. One moment. Sorry 'bout that.

ZamuelNow Thu Sep 18, 2014 4:45 pm

Since we're waiting for Crystalite, should I officially wait or should Marsh go ahead and coincidentally show up + roll initiative? Additionally, I forgot if we're picking 5 or using all 8 talents in this campaign.

Elacular Thu Sep 18, 2014 4:53 pm

I'm gonna say that you can show up now. And I'm playing by you don't get all unless you have spellbook.

Quietkal Thu Sep 18, 2014 6:04 pm

While resting on a cloud does seem more in-character at a glance, Cloud's actually part of combat.
Granted, she's falling asleep in combat, but still.

ZamuelNow Thu Sep 18, 2014 6:10 pm

I know that OOC but for all Marsh knows, Cloud might have collapsed from heat exhaustion.

Quietkal Thu Sep 18, 2014 6:24 pm

Ah, my fault then. She had been resting on a cloud prior to joining, and I thought you might not have seen the posts.
I should know by now that you're on top of things s.s

Sorry I haven't posted lately. Before I reply though: Would it be okay for me to RP a "Reading Steiner" on the looking for fasteners result? As in Grey remembers what happened before the switch from the critical failure search world-line to the normal failure search world-line while presumably nobody else remembers that version of events.

Elacular Sat Sep 27, 2014 12:15 pm

This isn't a straight-up no, but to what point or purpose will this Meta be initiated?

GamerGoddessDin Sat Sep 27, 2014 12:31 pm

Mainly just to go from a "I wonder why it's dangerous for psychics to go near those?" to a "holy buck I almost died" type of reaction. I'm not sure I'd really call a Reading Steiner effect "Meta" though, it's merely a rare ability to have memories unchanged by world-line shifts generally caused by time travelers changing things.

An example of a switch would be if you were to be killed but then someone went back in time and prevented your death, you and most other people wouldn't remember you ever being dead. However that one mad scientist who saw you stabbed and dead in a pool of your own blood that has the Reading Steiner ability will remember that you were dead just yesterday when he happens to run into you getting off of the university elevator on the way to your lecture on how time travel is impossible.

Elacular Sat Sep 27, 2014 12:42 pm

Eeeehhhhhh....I just don't really see a point and it feels...kinda wrong for the setting. So I'm gonna veto it for 90% of circumstances, but you can have it this time because I think it'd be interesting.

But it works out anyway because he was already suffering Ongoing 5 from Cloud, and we actually get an additional Fleshrender trigger out of that whole thing on the Taunting Strike.

...I did. It was my opening move.

And see, this is why these things should stack. I just wasted an Acidic Addendum because I didn't realize you had already Ongoing'd him.

Quietkal Sat Sep 27, 2014 10:28 pm

Ah, my fault. I missed that you took an action when you rolled initiative.
We could redact since you wouldn't have expended it if you'd have known information that you could have had access to at that point?

Crystalite Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:06 pm

If Elacular's okay with it.

Elacular Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:12 pm

I'm okay with redacting it this time, because it makes sense and I won't be able to do my GM post today for a little while. So go for it.

Quietkal Sun Sep 28, 2014 5:45 pm

Weakness 3? Also, is that 9 already halved from him being weakened?

Elacular Sun Sep 28, 2014 5:52 pm

Ah, I misunderstood weakness. It's 7 damage instead. And that just means your damage is -3 for psychic attacks.

Cardbo Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:00 pm

So, we finished the framework of the cart, but we're still shy of wheels, and the "box" portion of the cart?

Elacular Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:15 pm

Exactly. And nothing you could use for those is immediately available in the workshop.

Elacular Thu Oct 02, 2014 3:34 pm

About the fly on the wall, it's still active, but you can't hear much from it. Not even the train rolling.

Quietkal Thu Oct 02, 2014 3:42 pm

Sure, alright.

Elacular Sun Oct 05, 2014 8:06 pm

I think I'll leave whether or not you do up to Kal.

Quietkal Sun Oct 05, 2014 8:42 pm

I'm not going to ask for one, you can just sit silently and judge. She might turn around if Featherbow is clearly looking past her, though.

Cardbo Sat Oct 11, 2014 11:16 pm

~~I'm not sure where Dart and Grey entered the elevator the first time around. Are we back in the mess hall? Anything different from when we were here last?~~

I really need to stop rushing through when reading. I remember in the Psychonauts game, there was a junkyard somewhere. Wonder if there's something similar here.
