[OOC] The Clowns of Valerith

[Gordian Nought]

Curating cryptic cerebral challenges is a common codex for this cantankerous but curious cat. :)

Just so you know, Miss Light is currently keeping Arkerym hidden beneath her cloak. So Iota wouldn't be able to see the sword.

[XxFellsingxX]

Just a question: is everyone supposed to sign in blood, or was Grimi only talking to the Doctor?

Thank you! I have edited the post.

@XxFellsingxX

Everyone. Sorry if that was unclear.

@Aqutanama

Nah, it's fine. I reread the post and realised you actually did explain it, oops ^^;

I assume this is a ritual that our group would have participated in before?

Also

The document states that none would reveal what happened here in the King's Chamber, downstairs in The Grim Lodge. They may speak freely between others who signed the contract. However, if they are found purposely speaking loudly in crowded areas or so someone else can hear then they have broken the contract. None are allowed to write about it either, save for this contract. Those who fail to follow the contract will be lost to The Great Old One. There are some other stipulations of keeping the speakeasy and other underground establishments to oneself. Don’t speak about fight club and so on. At the end there are several boxes and at the top was one filled in by a signet ring and Grimi’s blood.

@Aqutanama

Arthek is definitely reading this document over and being exasperated by it. tfw you're a writer who wants to write about secret societies, but the secrets societies are not having any of it.

[XxFellsingxX]

Arthek: Why must you put these restrictions on my writing?
Grimi: This is to keep us safe.
Arthek: This is censorship!
Grimi: Do you want to get caught by the authorities?
Arthek: What are they going to do, execute me again?!

(If this isn't the first time the group has signed this contract, this is definitely a conversation that happened in the past, or something like it)

Grimi: They will do something far worse than death. The technique of killing immortal or regeneration type entities was developed about 834 years ago. It's called Separate Entombment. This takes several people to perform and has become a ritualistic execution. First magic is applied to restrict regeneration as much as possible. Then caps are applied to severed appendages as well as the cut off ones. Then with each removal they are places in jars. These jars are sent in different directions. Some end up underwater. Others end up in natural disasters. I have even heard of a few being sent to different planes of existence. This is of course based on the severity of the crime. Knowing how they act now. The last option is probably applied to all.

@Aqutanama

... that would probably get Arthek to shut up, tbh xD Or at least, a very quiet "Oh."

[Gordian Nought]

A schismatic science to spellbind someone and to surgically separate one's soul from their sturdy stead.

Rockmar: I don't want them killing me for somethin' you wrote.

Posted.

I like to imagine every time Arthek enters the speakeasy and/or King's Chamber, he's hoped the rules have changed, and he complains about the fact they haven't each and every time.

[Aqutanama]

Me just realizing how squishy our party is. I mean a sharp wind could kill my character. Mind you I'm used to playing 3.5 where the wizard had a d4 HD.

Also this is interesting.

Undead Warlock Fix?

I'm standing right here! I can hear you, you know.

Just hide behind me and throw your old man magic at them. You're be fine.

@Garth

I should have played a wizard. So I could give them the good ol wizard finger! First time in a while playing hooman though. Kind of nice starting with a feat. Then again that is just early game feat. I honestly feel like everyone should start with one just because there are so many. Like what FEAT did your character do and hold on to up till now? If that were the case I would have went with the +2 all abilities because that is kind of broken. Was it to all? I don't recall. I have never seen anyone use it. That feat is too tempting. Old man would have just been a Changeling if everyone started with a feat though. THEN AGAIN... having 2 feats... jk jk.

I could see Grimi standing behind your character somewhat slouched over, ducking and weaving into things. Your character just like... I hate escort missions.

BTW my character is an escort mission forever. Have fun with that information.

@Aqutanama

Yeeeeeeaah. I was originally planning on having Arthek be a cleric, but I realised it didn't really fit him. As he stands now, he can play the healer role but he is, err, not going to be taking hits so great.

[Birdboy]

I suppose I will be a swords bard, sorry guys. I saw clowns and made a bard

@Birdboy

Don't apologize. You did nothing wrong.

@Birdboy

It is a group effort. Play what you want

[XxFellsingxX]

Plus, let's be real: in a game about clowns, we needed at least one bard. To play a game about clowns without a bard would be sacrilegious. The clown gods would come down and make sad faces at all of us. It would be very unpleasant.
