[OOC] Overlord : Advent of the Gods

[IceHeart]

@IceHeart
Not the biggest deal in the world, but how is HideYourMen approaching Lexus, December, and Himitsu? They are all flying (or floating) high above the guildhall wreckage. Can I just assume s/he just magically flew up their or is at least speaking very loudly?

@BurningDaisies

Well, I did not realize they were floating up there, but anyway, no, HideYourMen cannot fly so speaking loudly will have to do. Otherwise there would have been no need to transform into her real lamia form in the first place.

Question, do we have access to our money or must we earn all of it all over again?

And now I really should decide where Selena's hidden farming base is located. Any ideas? The map is oriented up=north, right?

[BurningDaisies]

Fair Warning:
My car got totaled in a wreck yesterday, so I may not be very available in the next few days.

@Lugubrious@BurningDaisies
Just need to decide where everyone is going to be after the time skip then we can work from there to set up the locations and stories. Does any group need a city/village that needs to be created/set up? We GM types then will have a base to go off of.

@IceHeart

I actually have a few towns I created last week. I need to finish them, but they were going to be for the solo players whenever they come across a frontier village or something. So that part won't be too troublesome. I'll put in a google doc and share it with you guys later.

A question I have is this: what content will the time skip cover? More accurately, will it cover all of our time spent gathering information about the New World? How long will that be? Days? Weeks?
Will we have enough time to detail how wee adapt to society or carve out our own little niches outside of it? Are we just skipping the travel time between our current locations and where each player/group is wanting to go next?

@baraquiel @BurningDaisies

Why does Himitsu believe that Lexus and December destroyed the guild hall?

[BurningDaisies]

@Stern Algorithm @baraquiel
No idea. xD

I did describe the guildhall falling down around December (who was sitting in stunned silence at the time), but otherwise the only thing she destroyed was a piece of the ceiling that was about to fall on her. She didn't participate in the fight with the beholder/tentacle beast either.

[Spanner]

@BurningDaisies@Stern Algorithm@baraquiel

I think it's more of a general thing tho? She doesn't know who specifically did it but knows that they were inside, so she naturally thinks that the two of them - that came from the ruins of the fort - are involved in the destruction of the Guild Hall.

That's just my personal reading of the situation tho, it could as well be something completely different.

[BurningDaisies]

Honestly, its not even a problem. Any in-character misinformation can be solved through roleplay.

It would be kind of funny if she realized the truth a long time down the road, months after its been relevant.

[Stern Algorithm]

I guess I'm just not sure if the misunderstanding is IC or OOC. Which is why I'm asking.

[Thecrash20]

@13org Do you exactly where we are going or are we making up as we go? Actually don't tell me. I'm up for a surprise! Also, he is starting to suffer from amnesia. So that's why now he has no Idea about it being a game, even though he had just mentioned it.

[13org]

@Thecrash20

frantically searching for a map on her things

"S-sure... I'm not... lost or anything.... I know exactly where we are going..."



Seriously though, Nyna knows that there is a city (e-rantel) after the plains. But that's it.
Her knowledge about the local geography is restricted only by what she can see right now

I'm 90% sure that Spooky won't be the one that will get in trouble when they arrive at the city though
Nyna will probably be the one in trouble. since she is not human and is not even trying to hide this fact lol

[Rune_Alchemist]

So...when is this supposed time skip happening? I guess I'm sort of waiting on it before posting again, since there's a bit nothing else to do with my characters until after it does happen. I don't really want to start a conversation or start something and then just have to gloss over it due to a sudden timeskip.

@13org

Hahaha. That's fine, I know if we're still in the mountain area there is a city to the south that we just, happen to find...

I picked Nyna just for this reason. I thought they would make a great duo. The small Rabbit, and the Giant Knight. Great polar opposites that could help each other out and the fact they are both abhuman means we're sure to be a sight.

@13org

We aren't near E-Rantel tho..? Like, North of the dragonic kingodm. E-Rantel would be considerably far in the southwest while we have a fortress and a city right to our North - away closer...

Like, no offense but... Are you sure that you're getting your directions right..? It seems like you're thinking that we're in the same place as Nazarick.

@Rune_Alchemist

I'd like to ask the same thing (Not really surprising since I'm accompanying two of Rune's characters). I mean, I realize that some people didn't finish interacting but waiting them to finish before the time skip is kinda of making most of the RP unable to post, completely breaking the hype.

"Apocalypse Now is located in the mountain range north of the Dragonic Kingdom. One the New World Map it is located in the bottom right corner. Being in the mountain range the small guild will be well hidden from human eyes."

Apocalypse Now, the guild hall that most of the PCs were before the game shutting down. The same place where the Beholder was summoned.
Not everyone was inside the guild hall when they were transported. Those who were not inside were sent to a random location (taking in account how close or far they were from the guild hall before the game shutting down)

Nyna and Yasha were at the city when that happened, relatively close to the guild hall. Its safe to assume that both were transported somewhere near the mountain range near the draconic kingdom, more specifically at the base of the mountain range, on Katze Plains (Nyna) and on top of a mountain, near to the guild hall the rest of the PCs are currently at (Yasha).

E-Rantel is indeed a good distance away from the mountains, but since nothing was mentioned about the forts nearby (if they're abandoned or not...) , and its the closest city from where she is right now, its safe to assume that Nyna would be able to see something in the horizon indicating that there is a city nearby. Especially because it is a pretty big city.



Nyna is currently somewhere around the green area marked on the map.

Apocalypse Now is currently located somewhere on the mountain range (black circle on the map).

It was never specified if the fortress just north of the mountain range is in fact the apocalypse now guild, or just a random fortress (red circle with '?' marks). Even if it is, that doesn't change the location where Nyna 'spawned' (at the base of the mountains, near Katze Plains.

@Spanner

I believe everyone is caught up for the most part. We should be able to proceed with the timeskip without much issue.

[BurningDaisies]

@13org

Worth noting:
We do have some homebrew towns and cities prepared. So if Nyna and company decide to head west, there will be a city for you to interact with near the border of Katze Plains and the Dragonic Kingdom. Lugubrious is working hard on something for the southbound group, and there are a few other places in the works as well.

Sooo... Everybody should be covered, as there will be a location (not currently listed on the map) for each group or player to interact with.

IRL priorities are hindering both @IceHeart and myself from doing too much at the moment. But we will work on the timeskip post as time allows.
I realize the wait is inconveniencing, but please stick with us. The timeskip is a high priority.

[baraquiel]

@Stern Algorithm whoops, my bad.

It was when I was so late in participating in the story that I skimmed through the most parts made by everyone just so I can catch up. One of the things I remembered is that Lexus brought "apocalypse" to the guild and since its creator is December, I assumed that both of them were in that together. I saw the tentacle beast but I really thought it was one of the good guys who tried stop Lexus from destroying the guild; it wasn't until now that I realize that wasn't exactly the case.

Again, sorry :3

@baraquiel

No worries, it's fine if there's an IC misunderstanding, I just wanted to clear up any OOC misunderstandings.
