@Bright_Ops Ap. Ooops. You were going to use my defensive orb to... uuuum, I had already written here that I was going to... Sorry! XD

A brief announcement - after thinking it over, I am currently removing all errors from my alterations list save those committed more than once. It makes more sense to punish persistent errors than isolated ones, and this should hopefully prolong your characters' longevity somewhat.

Be warned, I am counting errors made between posters and individual posts. So some accumulation is still to be expected.

A new post will be up early tomorrow.

Thanks! I'll try not to need it. Here, have some virtual cookies!

Noted.

Roster updated.

In other news: @mdk, the deadline is approaching. It would be a shame for me to waive all the currently accumulated errors just for things to start falling apart along different seams.

Gavlan wheel. Gavlan deal.

Posted twice because Fortune needed to react to the falling barrier instead of just standing there like a freaking idiot.

For a second there I was pretty sure we were going to get right into Act Two without any delays. That second post really caught me off-guard. Thankfully, the contextual reality can accommodate.

@PlatinumSkink, if Amelie survives, you will not have to worry about that edit you made any further.

@Doc Doctor, as the Knight is now sort of facing away from you, do not auto him this time around. Donny is a crack shot, but from his angle firing through the eye slot probably wouldn't score a direct hit on the head. You will have to settle for an impeccably aimed shot to the center of the head's mass instead (if you like), and rest assured I will inform you of the results. The thugs however, are free game.

Geh. ... Amelie's reasoning may have turned that arrow magic. Maybe. Hah.

Okay. Um. So different viewpoints caused both to be true. Any attempt to grab the cloak to free me will likely [EDIT] result in whoever tries that to be affected by the metal spreading at the site of whatever they try to grab the cloak with _{or maybe that was me thinking extremely incorrectly}[/EDIT]. UNLESS...

I think I'm going to try something and see what Terminal responds with. I have a few lives to spare. Of course, if anyone has a brilliant fool-proof idea to save me, I'm not going to object to that either, but otherwise, I plan on doing one hell of a wager that'll definitely kill me. Haha.

... And in the future, let's not resurrect our enemies if we can help it, if someone else has typed that they're neutralized. Hahaha...

Edit: I am somewhat curious as to how I'm lying. Did I fall forwards and it landed on top of me behind me? I was running backwards (not towards the thugs), so logically the bullet would have hit the cloak on my side, and then... I'd have fallen backwards with a tilt, perhaps with just enough force to roll over onto my front, and then it spread to... hm. ... Actually, I need to cut my cloak. I don't have that kind of weapons. Hahaha.

Though, it'd technically still be on me if I'm on my side, it's kind of going around me. Hm.

Edit 2: ... Okay. I need to consider how I do that wager... extremely carefully. ... Heh.

Ha, lightning rod! I knew it! Or Andy did, such a smart guy.

@Terminal will you be sharing the list of errors at the end?

The new accumulated errors, yes.

Apparently there are now two realities...one in which the people in the road got shot with extreme prejudice, and one which our friendly knight friend sees where they are still there.

I don't think there are 2 realities, the reality just changed, as it was mentioned in the post Donny sees the same people he just killed standing next to their corpses and the bullets they fired aren't just hitting the knight, they hit Amelie too.
Like PlatinumSkink said, we are responsible for reading everything carefully, what Terminal posts and what we all post so that we don't have any conflicts that result in the resurrection of enemies or other strange occurrences.

The funny thing here is that I posted that before I saw Terminal's GM post here, so...CALLED IT!!!

Now, before I mention something that the rest of the party really needs to know ASAP...@Terminal, would you mind informing me what Kael would have seen with his Ethereal sight for the moment he used it on our now resurrected attackers?

I could use the blanket in my pack to try and pull the metal-ing cloak off you without touching it myself—but that would hardly be a foolproof plan.

Ok, I'm second guessing my plan to wait until Terminal informs me, because I don't want to risk someone doing something stupid.
@mdk, yours is the character most able to deal with this situation. (Not saying others can't too, just that mdk's character is the one who can understand what is happening to some extent, and thus has the information to formulate a response.) No matter who wants to try though, the clue is the lightning sphere and the lightning rod. Read the description of what the metal stuff is very carefully, then use logic to try and determine an appropriate response based on that information, and why in preparation for this attack someone decided to use something to attract the lightning away from said attack.
And like I said, mdk is the person most able to figure this out in character, so I'd recommend he takes care of this. And I do hope his logic comes up with the right answer, because I'm only able to figure out the equation to the solution, not the solution itself...

@Holmishire Acknowledged. Heh.

But, like, if several individuals INSISTS that we're seeing Amelie outside the cloak and totally safe... ... .... ...... Then that probably just counts as godmodding and Terminal will find a way to murder those responsible rather than twist reality in any favorable way. XD

He keeps his hand up in front of his still glowing eyes for a moment, before blinking and ending the magic so he could look at them with normal vision and process whatever it was he was seeing.

I will inform you of what he sees once he starts using ethereal sight again. From the glimpse he caught of their predecessor selves from inside the limousine, they and their weapons appear to be entirely mundane and nonmagical.

Perhaps, if you look back at the rules, you might figure out how I would react to such a ploy? It seems like a reasonable branch of experimentation.

@Terminal Not sure if last sentence was honest or sarcastic, but the closest thing I can find that relates to the first sentence is

Policy boils down to this:

If you cheat, you are blacklisted.

... Haha.

With all likelihood, I'd guess what just happened was a penalty and not a clue as to how we could manipulate reality and the way it could potentially be used to our advantage is if we somehow want the penalty for some reason, and we can therefore not use it for purely positive things. ... That'd be my guess. I'm not wagering lives on it yet, but that's my guess. Hm.

I will freely tell you that is the wrong rule. '-' That is not what I was referring to-

I am going to stop helping you now.

@Terminal

I edited the post so that Donny simply "aimed for the head", that it won't conflict with what you've last written.

Whelp, pretty sure I've fucked up. Left an edit a minute after my last post because I didn't like how I had written a certain sentence. INB4 a sumo wrestler with the word "EDIT" scrawled across his belly bulldozes Donny through a wall.
