Well I just realized (totally forgot my bad) that Corinne and Julia were heading over towards the smithy while talking. My apologizes for that, you made it to the blacksmith.

Perfect time for James to kill a nalfenshee or two and run heroically through the global firestorm to save his daughter.

Meanwhile, Remington...

You decide what to do with him, Wyvern.

Or did TOO much shit hit the fan?

I mean, it's a worldwide demonic invasion. Rather... dangerous, isn't it? Either way, I can easily edit it.

I feel the demons are like placing all your tricks on the table at once. Wyvern was kinda introducing troubles for us on a more personal level; you could see them start to build up pretty quickly and how they'd tie everyone into a bigger conflict.

If you're going to introduce demons that's fine, but you at least need a better, longer lead up, and more personal involvement from the characters.

And by neglecting a personal involvement from the characters, the thing will essentially be seen as the 'Monster/Loot of the Week', nothing of any real/personal concern. Because you didn't tie it into the characters, and the players would just see it as a target.

It is more important to have the personal connection and stories with the player characters, then a Mega-Threat.

But yes, Bee you were correct. I am working on a variety of things for the characters, and various storylines that'd be able to intertwine and such

I think Bing has an ace up his sleeve...
Instead of a lot of little problems each little character faces individually,
HE'S CREATING THAT MEGA SHITSTORM THAT'S GONNA CONNECT ALL THE CHARACTERS AND MAKE THEM GO ON SOME NOBLE QUEST AS A COLLECCTIVE ENTITY SO THEY'RE NOT ALL STUCK AS A BUNCH OF NOBODIES!

That's right, I said nobodies.

*-* At least that's what I think...all these events are setting gears in motion for what is to come.

And welcome back, Fated! :DD Not much happened, evidently. The site was down...err.
...apart from the, y'know, demon invasions.
Vec, hold me. 3sp00py5me.
And on that note, happy early Halloween, you lot!

Yes, but the Demon Card was pulled out too early. ESPECIALLY with the War Scenario going down as well.

It's important for the characters to have, ya know, a personal motivation for actions.

Except there's no reason for any character to work together; half of us haven't even met each other, and a good other chunk are more likely to just leave Estermere.
Furthermore, a demon invasion is something you lead up to, not something you use as a lead.

For a Demon Invasion. You hear weird stuff, you find cultists. Say, you know how there was that Creepy Kid at the Graveyards? Surely they'd know stuff about this, and the Priesthood certainly would think they are related to the Cult.

And it turns out the Cult was using some Gnolls as shock troopers and framing a certain clan. The cult may have taken a fascination with a certain new child with red eyes and took them to their lair. Etc.

You need to establish these connections between the players before activating MEGA EVENT. Because, as Bee said, why would we help each other when we don't know each other? OR why stay when you don't have a connection to the town?

This, basically. As it stands, all the traveler characters would just say "fuck this" and ditch any demon infested area. Ark's Gnoll tribe would just leave for greener pastures, since demons are generally a lot worse than judgemental humans. Even if James decided he needed to fight demons for whatever reason (and he really doesn't have a reason, unless his liege tells him to, or something similar), he'd retreat back East to gather a real army before doing so, and that takes time and doesn't involve anyone else. Tirarian wanted to ditch the underworld anyways, this just makes a great excuse.

...oh. ;; I think I see what you mean.
But then I'm curious about how we'll all meet, and realistically, how will they all stay.
