@Peaceless

Nice posts! I assume the leader has some kind of Illusion type of magic?

PS: Did the leader play too much TES and wanted to make his own Dark Brotherhood? :P

@Genbor

It may seem like it. But Harmony is in fact clairvoyant. And they all wanted to stab her. She just can't control it properly so it's on an instinctive level.

I have made the descriptions muddy and unclear on purpose, as it is from her point of view.. I will expand on this ability in future post.

As for the gang name - they're posers, is what they are.

And thank you for the compliment :)

[Arkitekt]

I am going to let everyone get in a dialogue post here in the dungeon, so that they can get acclimated, while I give @YungTweak a chance to post. One or two posts, kept short for dialogue or whatever, regular ones, up to you. I'll probably post another one tonight too, later on.

[Genbor]

Alright, thanks for the heads-up. I'll follow your lead as I'm too tired to write anything new tonight. (GMT+1)

[Arkitekt]

@Genbor Not a problem.. Not even sure what I am going to post yet but I can start it off. Hopefully @YungTweak gets in there before it kicks off. It'll be good to let the characters have a brief interaction with each other, before they all go before the Emperor. I know your character is mute, but maybe they can communicate by some other means. I'm'm sure the floor would be dirty enough to write in so that's a option. Head nodding, etc.. whatever works.

I'm also creating another character that's going to be joining the group. He is a lackey for the emperor and will be "along for the ride" so to speak... If I don't post tonight, I will soon, but I should be able to tonight.

[YungTweak]

I'll be making my introductory post tonight.

[Arkitekt]

@YungTweak Very nice. Glad to have you.. I will most likely post tonight as well.

[YungTweak]

By the way, if anyone wishes to have their character recognize mine, in any connotation they wish, feel free. The high 'Street Credential' stat being the basis of this, of course.

[Arkitekt]

@YungTweak very good idea. My character is sort of new to the city but perhaps @Genbor or @The Angry Goat 's characters might know him. Gail would probably be a good option for this, since he deals a lot with other street fiends in procuring various items for his dealings and potions and whatnot.

[Genbor]

Well he can communicate with Thief Cant handsignals if anyone knows it. But otherwise I'll find a way. The dirt writing's a good idea. And Lautrec might recognize him, if he can see him.

[Arkitekt]

@The Angry Goat @Genbor @Peaceless @YungTweak, I added a rule to the flintlock rolls and mod. If you score a 10 on a roll, then the -2 mod is negated and the shot is spot on, or head shot similar.. This can be found on the zero page in the IC board for easy reference.

If you guys have any additions of your own regarding the rules I am more than willing to hear them out and possibly amend the current ones as they stand, so don't be shy. My goal is everyone's enjoyment, not their stresses...

@The Angry Goat, I suppose I could make a similar roll for when someone is crafting an item, or repairing one, as is also applicable to your character @Peaceless, (I mean it could be applied to everyone, but your two characters craft a lot so..). Like the success of the roll determines the effectiveness of the crafted item, repair, etc..

I have also added another character for use in the near future.. Vallec Von Brandt. You can find his sheet under Y'Vanna's in the character list. I will introduce him after a brief bit of dialogue in the current scene.

I am also creating a zero page in the Character list to keep up with all NPC's and antagonists so everyone will have easy access to them as well.

Also a reminder for everyone to update their Currency during the incarceration.. No need to strike weapons or other stuff, no need to rewrite everything. Also amending the CS to add a Status slot under Currency and ammo, if everyone could match mine that'd be great. This will keep up with everyones current statuses, injuries, intoxication, etc.

[The Angry Goat]

I'll try to push out some sorta post doing my best to help with your wounds soonish

[Arkitekt]

@The Angry Goat That's fine, whenever you are free, no rush. Y'Vanna will be alright, just a bit concust. I'm hoping to get a brief dialogue between the cellies until I bring on the next portion of the plot. This is the first official gathering of the group.

@Arkitekt

So am I to assume we are all in the same cell?

[Arkitekt]

@Peaceless Gail and Y'Vanna are shackled in a cell together, Lautrec is in the next cell over (Bars separating the cells with a stone back wall) and Justin is across the hall on the other side. I didn't write you in because you weren't caught yet, but I am going to say that you are beside of Justin on the other wall.

[Arkitekt]

Would you guys like floor plans? I can make them and I like them very much, but I haven't found a suitable floor plan maker as of yet.. I've been looking for a while now but I just cant seem to find anything. The best one I've seen so far is Pyromancer Dungeon Painter, and I'm not completely thrilled with it (being an artist sometimes means that you are never satisfied with anything..) and I can make generalized plans pretty good with it but I'll have to find something a bit better in the way of objects or assets because these suck.

If you guys have any suggestions then I'd love to here them. The Pyromancer site has pretty decent tiles and stuff, just horrible objects and other stuff.. I want the floor plans to have a polished finished look, or I can go old D&d style black and white, then I can do a bit of brushing it up via photoshop (I'm trying to stay out od PS as much as possible due to time consumption. Needing fast and generic without the look..).

The faster I can make them the more I can make.

[Genbor]

@Arkitekt

That would be amazing! Yes, yes and yes!

I was going to suggest Pyromancer Dungeon Painter as I've used it for my D&D sessions before, but it is very barebones for sure. I'd just be happy with a construction type of sketch on a paper too, just to get my bearings on what's what. I'm definitely a visual type so it helps to see what I'm imagining for sure. Another thing I've done before for my D&D, is just to build the set in Minecraft and take birdseye pictures of it. It's kind of crude but I found it fairly effective.

[Arkitekt]

well I also have maya 3d which I was thinking about using.. It will most likely be all grayscale though as it is very time consuming, but I think I might try to pull it off anyway.. Props like these aren't going to be found or generated without the effort.
I got the program from School in an autodesk version.. Same thing Pixar and sony uses for their movies.. It animates too and can do keyshots but that is a bit beyond my knowledge.. Sometimes being an art student pays.



Gonna give it a shot I guess. Doubt we will go full on tabletop with character markers and stuff as I feel like that would impede the flow of things but If I have the time I will try and make these whenever possible since I do have a bit of time between the posts (depending on my home life..) but I can at least give OS version black and white for you guys. I

@Genbor I actually like Pyromancer fairly well, just have to make my own overhead items in PS I guess. but the tiles are fine for what I have in mind.

[Genbor]

If you think you can do it without burning yourself out, then I'm all for it. It doesn't matter much if it's grayscale, just the fact to have these would be amazing... And if it's too much you can always just stop doing it.

[Arkitekt]

@Genbor if it gets to be too much I can just do them on pyromancer. Making a Pyro now.. My maya crashed, which happens a lot.. Having a hard time saving as a png though..?? Might have to screen shot it.
