[Poniverse] Crystal Symphony [Adventure Campaign] [FULL]

@The Cavalry: Speaking from the perspective of someone whose been waiting almost two weeks for his computer to get back from being repaired I'm gonna go ahead and say I sympathize with your predicament. I know how much it sucks to not have your equipment working like it should. Hope you manage to sort your computer issues out soon.

@Copper Rose: As far as I understand we're still in the "easing into the adventure" phase of things, so I don't imagine it would be too vital. Though, it certainly wouldn't hurt to get your ducks all in a row as soon as possible. If you're still aiming for joining up with a certain fillie organist, well, she seems to be in a sensitive area, though there seems to be some determination to avoid getting into a fight.

Seeing as the party is starting at lvl 4, what's our Boon? I'm finally getting around to finishing Blast, and that is one thing that I can't really finish without that knowledge.

Also, what kind of combat builds do you guys have? It'd be nice to not have doubles on any kind of combat build, or to be lacking in something (like healers). And do we get Spell Book for free?

It's a bit late for me now, so I can't really give you're questions all the attention they should get, but I'll try to patch up what's missing from my response in the morning.

In response to your query about the boon:

TheCavalry wrote:- You'll have access to a level 3 boon if you want it, but it won't come into effect until the "prologue" is done. feel free to discuss what you want whenever the game starts though.

To my knowledge we haven't discussed what the boon is, so you'll need to either go forward without knowing what it is, or wait for it to be discussed -- I personally suggest the former.

I do not believe Spellbook is free, as the GM has never mentioned the idea. I've equipped it to my character with the price, so unless I missed something, I feel it's safe to say that it is not free.

When it comes to combat builds... I don't feel up to digging through to find everyone's character sheets at this time, but I'll trying giving a low down on at least Oasis tomorrow.

EDIT: Here's a link to everyone's sheets so you can peruse their combat talents/traits.

Lark

Blitz Load

Bonham

Silver Tongue

Door Kicker

Shimmering Oasis

Well, it looks to me like the only thing I have to wait for before I can enter the IC topic is a DM post. Once Blitz enters the hallway, Blast will be right outside the door and ready to react, so... yeah.

*Twiddles thumbs*

Alright, I finished up Oasis' questionnaire at long last. Here it is. I'm also currently looking to convert Oasis' character sheet to google docs to fit with how you guys have been doing stuff.

Also, Copper Rose, looking at the sheet you have up currently, I think you still have a second combat trait to be able to choose, unless I've missed something.

EDIT: Here's Oasis' new google docs sheet.

Just to make sure, she is partnering up with DK for his Dynamic Duo Destiny, right?

She is, yes -- I'm rather looking forward to seeing the two in action together with that destiny in action.

God, that was tedious.

So- howdy fellas! Sorry for being gone so long.

So, status update. I got my computer fixed, which is good. Actually, it's been fixed for about a week or so. I haven't been about for a couple of reasons, pin clouding (but t limited to) starting an account on fimfiction, working on content for fimfiction, forgetting my password, and the little matter of a new job.

Yup, I'm in the workforce now; nine to five, every day. Which means my usual Internet time (post-midnight) has been curved a little.

I'm going to try fix that. I'm going to be more active. But if I'm slow...that's why.
Still, I am back, and this game is not dead- to me, anyway. Sorry for all the hold ups though...

It's all good.

Just glad to have you back dude, cool to hear that you got your computer back. And congratulations on landing a job!

Glad to have you back, and waiting on tenterhooks to see the results of my Nat 1s!

I knew there was a game I wasn't checking recently...

Happy to see you back Cavalry.

Huzzah! I can finally get into the hallway!

"The doorway vanishes. There is a snap, and the windows are covered in crystal. Blitz is trapped and can never leave"

...not that I'd ever do that, of course...

So before I post, I'm thinking of having Oasis make a roll for knowledge about Sombra, would that be alright? I was thinking it'd be a History Roll, potentially with a bonus from Freaky Knowledge (Ancient Myths), if that would apply.

Yeeeee-s. That's okay. Make the roll and I'll post or PM you the results.

Alrighty, here I go:

Roll for Oasis' Knowledge of King Sombra:

Copper Rose wrote:"Yeah, that does sound like a somewhat good idea. I would probably end up following you two anyway, since at least one of you seem to know where you're going." Blast says, eyeing the door speculatively but ready to follow them the moment they start moving. "I'm Blast, by the way."

Doc pseudopolis wrote:Bonham stops just as he's about to round the corner out of sight.
"Us being a part of the faire is why we're going. If you keep standing there and quibbling I'll leave you behind to found your own way out."
And with that he goes around the corner, out of sight of the foals, and waits for a moment for them to catch up.

Just to say that, yeah, Blast would already be following him.

TheCavalry wrote:As you round the corner, and as Bonham listens to the walkers-talkie, the door behind you opens. You can hear hoof steps as Luna and Diamond leave, but if you want to listen to them then...perception check. Dividing attentions and all.

I'd like to roll first, and then post, if you don't mind.

Result: 1d20 [4] + Perception [9] = 13

...Prooobably not. Very close to a Critical Failure there...

Sorry ya'll. family stuff meant that roleplaying horses wasn't possible last week.

I'll get a post up ASAP. And...
You guys might not like it? But we've covered most of the plot set-up stuff. I like seeing characters interact, obviously, but there will be a chance for that later, and right now I worry we're meandering a bit.

All I can say is... As I said before, I do have a plan. I just ask that you guys trust me.

So yeah, it's a little c,inky maybe, but...

Well, this is the prologue. I think a little plot grinding is acceptable to get things started properly.

Quick questions: Do Blitz's parent know about her running off, do they know about Bonham following her and if either of the previous two was yes what was their reaction?

Sorry about kind of assuming that the first roll was a success. It was a rather high number and I get the impression that you would like the Rp to speed up a little, so I naturally wrote down what Silver would do next.

So, here's the deal.
I'm basically getting fired next month.

(And no, I didn't do anything, it's contract stuff.)

As a result...well, I'm putting in as much overtime as possible until then, which is why I was absent last week; sorry. Still, you guys are hopefully close enough that you can, at least, roleplay character building in my absence.
(And I'm not totally absent, just...super inactive).

So...just a heads up and apologies in advance.
