[OOC] Pirates of the Darkening Skies

[Abstract Proxy]

Yay, posts!

Now to go look at my character sheet.

[Excession]

Will schmoove things along tomorrow. I'm just trying to remember a cool scene transition I thought of in the shower.

[Abstract Proxy]

Worst case, just return to the scene of the crime.

@Abstract Proxy

Good news, I did think of a fun interaction for Cold Hands while the others are being subjected to Mild Horrors.

[Abstract Proxy]

She is ever the conversationalist, hopefully the horrors are not too bad. :P

@Excession

Do either of the captains have a reputation for violence against people who interrupt or eavesdrop on their conversations?

@rush99999

No, they're both quite non-violent but they will make a note.
Kira might fine you for the offense, citing some obscure clause in an existing agreement.
Orohomi cannot be eavesdropped on if they don't want to be, safe to assume either they want you to hear this or they have deemed you irrelevant to their wider plan. They might be allowing you to eavesdrop purely to use it against you later. The only safe assumption with an elder Vampire is that they are thinking ten steps or as many years ahead.

@Excession

Since Chwegwn would have thoroughly read that agreement, could he make a roll to recall a loophole in the aforementioned obscure clause that would allow him to avoid the fine?

@rush99999

Hmmmm I can allow he just remembers because he seems the type, or you can roll Intellect/Academics with the caveat failure will add a complication to Chwegwn's near-future.

[rush99999]

One success. The explosion was a two.

[Excession]

Good enough. No clauses that'll fuck you over an interruption. Eavesdropping is fine if you have a reasonable expectation that you are standing on protocol - such as if someone in authority is aware of your presence and has not yet given you leave to step forward. Like Orohome. But are you willing to play them off each other?

[Abstract Proxy]

Lovely posts, I'll endeavor to get my own post up this weekend.

Quick Question: Do bad things happen if the six bodies of a goblin fail to remain within close proximity of each other?

@rush99999

You've got a maximum dispersal range of around 12 metres, and that's where you feel a kind of... signal loss. The distant body has slowed reflexes, weakened cognition, goes catatonic if they're fully out of range.
You could arrange your bodies at 10m intervals with minimal negative effect - you know when you go into work on two hours less sleep than usual and you can feel yourself being kinda slow? The result and sensation are kind of like that.
A goblin left catatonic out of range for a few hours can start to lose autonomous brain function and asphysxiate.

There are horror stories of goblin bodies cut off from the whole that become independent and strange but this has never been proven. Trollkin a whole would consider experimenting with such a thing to be monstrously cruel, like cutting off a human's arm just to see what happens. But maybe some untroll maniac has tried it.
Could this be foreshadowing? We'll see.

[Abstract Proxy]

I love this lore.

Thinking of a dope reply from Cold Hands, but should have something up in the next couple of days (I am as always terrible at pacing).

[Excession]

I am currently in no position to critique pacing

@Excession

It's okay, me too.

[Excession]

I think making Cold Hands fistfight a Vampire would be very cool. This portends nothing.

@Excession

And I think that having Chwegwn win Cold Hands's indenture contract by being the only one to bet on her would be a convenient way to bring the party together. This also portends nothing.

[TaintedMushroom]

I never portend anything. But uh, I like these ideas.
