Please don't let this die in my absence )=

Akje will post soon. I will be posting on schedule no matter what. I suggest Shikaru, User, and Fox start making some posts, to give everyone the opportunity to interact. I personally am not going to waste my time write myself involving someone who I do not see as active. I assume everyone is the same in this. If you are active, I'll find you.

So post people.

[Wraithblade6]

I miss wiz so much.

Aight, I finally got some time to read all this then.
..

I see if stein was broadcasting into Mithias's mind somehow but isn't anymore then Martin can't find it.
And if you shut down BIOpilot, or at least the parts that held backdoors for Martin (and sure, the programmer should be able to find them if h suspected they'd be there) then Martin won't be able to find BIOPilot.

I'm going to read the OC soon, first dinner. But quickly I'd like to point out that yes, being able to oneshot any NPC is pretty powerful, but every character in the setting can do that. It's a very high powered campaign and Stein has a warship along with free use of any technology that might be invented in the next 20 or so years.
SO excuse me if I use the psionic skill tree to it's full potential.
The redeeming thing that keeps Martin in check is that he won't murder anyone. And he isn't cocky btw, I might be, but Martin is just taking logical steps. He honestly believes he is immortal though, and in his current form, he's right.

I'm thinking of changing Martin's future plans, maybe something that will change his position in the story a little. Cause right now his only motivations are preventing Mithias from rushing towards death.

dinner first though.

There, I went along with the Martin couldn't find Stein thing.
It's fine, let's just do it this way. I didn't want to obstruct your play Matt, but I felt Martin's buttons were pushed, and it was really the easiest solution imo.
Anyways, know that I won't stop you from whatever you're planning to do with Terebithia or Stein. I won't try and kill him.

One thing has to be clear though.
Stein is using recent, very experimental technology to dable in mental manipulation.
If he is somehow able to bypass the one character with intense defenses that Gabe can't even penetrate, fine none of my business.
But Martin is a collection of thoughts, he is a psionic being and found a way to borrow processing power (for lack of a better word) and is thus growing.
If it comes down to psionics Martin will beat Stein. Like I said, imagine a medieval fantasy setting, and there's a guy with a flame thrower, sure he's powerful, but he really shouldn't expect to be able to use that to kill an efreet or something. It's not necessarily that the efreet is too massively powerful, it's just that it's not that impressed by fire.

In the same way that Stein will beat any other character in technological insight (and apparently budget, damn)
- Magnus in one on one combat and leadership.
- Rhyss in being a badass
- Mithias in being heroic and having morals, also I think save for Gabe he is the oldest now?
- Martin still assumes Gabe is more powerful than him, and in the way Martin calculates power he is.

That said I do like the idea of making Ural the next big bad.
Who wants to play him? I would suggest getting new players but it's become evident that it's very hard to get into the story at this point.
User had the bad luck of constantly talking to the one person who is offline but still.
If you want to get into the game you kinda need to read the whole thing and you can't expect that of anyone... maybe if we put it all in a nice PDF and run a spellcheck? hmmm.

[Wraithblade6]

I'm on fire tonight.

[Shikaru]

Sorry for my abscense. Hope you people aren't ready to murder me :/.

[Wraithblade6]

*Hides weapons behind back*
Oh Shikaru, you're back. What uncanny timing...

[Shikaru]

Lol. Expect a huge wall of text portraying Magnus' return among other things...

[Shikaru]

I think my wall of text is bigger than Wiz's ;).

[akje]

A Whale of text you say?

[Wraithblade6]

Excellent. Too bad I'm tied up in raid tonight.

[akje]

you can put up a short post. Or go on voicechat with your raid buddies and read this story to them while you wait for the rest of the guild to show up.
Story time with Wraithblade?

[Wraithblade6]

I think it would be fun to listen to. But, I will try to post. I think poor Mithias should run home.

[akje]

Cool. I have to go do things in 35 min or so. So if you can post within that time slot I can respond today.

[Wraithblade6]

Oh. Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm at work. Argh.

lmfao.

The story went in another direction than I suspected when I planted that a long time ago. So might as well throw the info into the game.
The coffin is a trap placed by hunters 20 years ago. It's full of astrolite.
Good times.
