[OOC] Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Guardian Angel Haruki @Vertigo That being said, I will need a roll from both of you before I write the next post, though it's not Traverse the Wilderness. Roll me a 2d6 - Shadows Marked. Haruki, you can get a +1 to this roll thanks to Vertigo's help.

@XxFellsingxX

I got a 10. Hopefully this helps. ^_^

Before I post IC, I'd just like to make the Study Someone move on Garrock real quick. I rolled a 9 and would like to learn what Garrock wishes Skobeloff would do for him.

Garrock just wants some semblance of empathy at this point. He's tired, feels the group want rid of him and just wants to feel that someone in the group doesn't hate or want rid of him.

Oh noooo, Garrock ),:

Probably makes sense for me to go again for the other group, will do it tonight when I get a chance to write again. Also err, failed a Survey the Area roll, rip. But so, just to check, does the 4 I rolled for the mystery roll count as a miss? Cause if so, that's 5 exp and an advancement at least, so I'll pick something tonight. If not, disregard this!

@Vertigo

Yes, the mystery roll does count as a miss, so you may take an advancement :3

[XxFellsingxX]

@rush99999 It's funny that you referred to Garrock as 'the bearded warrior' because I've been thinking if NPCs had playbooks, Garrock would indeed be the warrior playbook.

[Vertigo]

Thinking of grabbing Wyrmtongue for the advancement (definitely grabbing a move regardless).

WYRMTONGUE: Return a Gem and ask the Darkness for something you need. The DM will tell you what it costs. If you pay the price, the Darkness will deliver it.

Question though, does the "something you need" and "deliver it" mean like... a physical thing, like an object, or also more abstract things?

@Vertigo

Once again, I turn to the Epyllion corebook hoping for clarification, and am met only with silence. I'm gonna assume it is physical objects... considering the Seer has other moves that allow them to gather information and knowledge through their visions, I'd assume this move doesn't cover that.

[Vertigo]

Oh Epyllion.

And alright! Was mostly thinking in terms like... okay I don't actually have a good example thought up, but like if someone was all "I need help flying over there" would the Darkness grant temporary flight for a price? Or if someone went "I need them to leave me alone" would the Darkness hurt the drake being talked about to keep them away? Or "I need a friend" = bam the Darkness just turned someone into a friend via shadow corruption stuff!

These are not Fellwing examples, ha, just my tired 2AM brain ones.

@Vertigo

Hmm. Considering all those options could be accomplished veer the Shadow Magic move, I'm going to assume 'no'.

@XxFellsingxX

Oh shit, I forgot about the Shadow Magic move. Makes sense then.

Magic hat for items it is! Will see if I go with that or the upgrade to Studying Someone, that seems like it'd be narratively cool too. Gonna settle on one before my next post at least.

[rush99999]

Garrock's Thoughts: Finally, someone who is nice to me.

Skobeloff's Thoughts: Let me in! LET ME IIIIIIIIN!

[XxFellsingxX]

Garrock: I'll tell you a secret: I use grumpiness to hide the fact I'm very sad and insecure.
Skobeloff: Yeah, buddy, that's not a secret, I could tell that the moment I met you.

[Vertigo]

Decided on Secret Catcher, might be cooler to play out narratively. Although it's weird it specifies that I can ask those choices if the target hasn't seen me, but one of the questions is "how do you think we're alike." If they don't know me and haven't seen me there, how can they know?? Epyllion pls.

[XxFellsingxX]

*me casually browsing through Magpie Games' website to see if there are plans to make a second edition of Epyllion and finding nothing*

[XxFellsingxX]

Garrock: Hey, you know what, my headache is subsiding.
Skobeloff: SO about that Rothscar succession crisis...
Garrock: Oh great, it's back again.

@XxFellsingxX
Out of curiosity, is it normal for Ancients to be difficult to track down after they have ascended?

@rush99999

They can usually be found near their sacred nesting place granted to them by the moons, and those tend to be in a place that was significant to the dragon in life. If you knew the dragon in life well enough, you could probably figure out where that nesting area was.

[rush99999]

So Kurkar being hard to find even by those closest to him is an odd occurrence then?

Yep. Plus, most Rothscar elders (especially the heads-of-house) choose to be Mystics, who materialize where they "died".
