[OOC] Tales of Adventure and Discovery RPG, an Epic Adventure RP

[Renose]

Survival. Survival is the Talent used in skinning or cutting off parts from creatures (so essentially, get yourself a skinning knife if you want some hide).

So yes, you can use parts from monsters, but it is whether or not said parts would actually do anything is the real question (not every monster part does some strange thing with alchemy. Mystical creatures maybe, but no this isn't Skyrim where every piece of every creature has some god damn alchemical property). I mean, of course if the creature spits fire or has venom then you could find like a flame sac or a venom sac as well, but you would have to be somewhat skilled in Survival to remove such things without damaging them (or just get lucky and make a good roll, but still a decent Survival Score is needed

Can't wait 'til Fiore tries making an androgynous druglord his friend~Edit:Since both Leifr and Fiore spoke to Lyrisa, I'll wait for Pyromania99 before beginning on my next post.

I'll get on that. I was playing a s**t ton of Dawngate with my friend, supporting for the win.

[Renose]

Cool, party unrest :3

That'll make some great adventuring times >:3

[Renose]

Still, we have had 43 posts of character interaction and introduction. Not that I don't mind, its been really awesome stuff (plus there was adventure plot introduction).

However, I think its due time we get on the road XD

[Pyromania99]

Nah, we need about 10 more PAGES of intro before we're even ready for the road ahead.

[Keia Vewyx]

Renose said I think its due time we get on the road XD

I'll try. Probably. Maybe. Possibly.
Just... One... More... Interaction...

I mean, obviously, we have PLENTY of time to move from the barracks to the outskirts of town. Or maybe we are already there?!

Edit:
Let us begin the beginning of heading out on the quest. Maybe in four pages, we can begin on heading out on the quest! Maybe, if we're really lucky, we can begin the quest in only eight pages, two pages ahead of Pyromania99's expectations! Let's give it our all, insane duelist, not-little little girl!

PS: What's the Ithelian equivalent of a landmine?

Traps. Lots and lots of traps.

[Renose]

My chara is finished.

[Keia Vewyx]

By the way, can you make lore for Dark Contracts?
I.E. how are they performed? What are the demons of Ithelia? What other dark creatures besides demons exist? How are they called upon? What is usually a price to pay for calling them? And other such stuff.

Also, I know magic can't right now but can sorcery be used for pseudo-healing magic (in the form of twisting flesh back together or some such)? They'll probably do more damage than good if they fail the roll, but it's a start~

And thus Keia immediately rushed to the fourth post but was met with disappointment. Perhaps Renose isn't planning on revealing the character until we actually meet him IC...

It can, but a Hardiness Roll would be needed to not get bad stuff from how incredibly painful that would be and character would still probably have lower Vit (since the wound didn't heal properly, so they would still experience any weakening they have). And yea, more damage would be done if failed. So yea, that idea could work, but that would be more of stopping bleeding and giving 'temporary' Vit (as in, yes you 'heal' in a sense, but you are not actually healed of the fatigue and other bad stuff that comes from wounds and other such stuff.

Also I am not revealing my chara at all. My charas remain secret. I will reveal more about him the more you find out, but my charas will be kind of like GM PC NPCs, you don't get to know their stats nor what I roll for them.

So he's basically a character guide?
Aw, how disappointing.
...But it leaves a reasonable air of mystery about him I suppose.

It'd be interesting for the players to do that as well. Something like all we knew were each other's appearances and the GM rolls an observation die to see how much our characters can deduce on appearances for the first meeting, but personality and stats were basically unknown to others. Ah, that sounds fun; to walk up to Rita a little girl and be surprised when we find out she has such a vulgar and impudent tongue~
Of course that's impossible now, since all our CSes are posted on the front page and we all looked over them once or thrice.

[Renose]

Also Keia, your chara knows nothing of Dark Contracts (did Knowledge Roll). You just know that they are bad evil things done by evil, dark people.

Next time. You will have plenty of chances (either through character death or advancing of time) to make characters and we can do that the next time around.

Also my character is not a character guide. Trust me on that one XD

[Keia Vewyx]

Aha, that's not actually why I wanted lore on Dark Contracts, but thank you very much!

I actually wanted it in the Lore tab at the front page because I was planning on my next character (should Leifr meet an early demise against some damnable level 1 bandits) to have a Dark Contract and didn't know any of the fluff with it.

[Renose]

Ah.

Well it is up there, as is a base mystery chara sheet.

This is what I will do for other player charas next time (only name and appearance will be included)

Awesome, thank you very much.

[Pyromania99]

Just send us the "updated" version of the CS so we know what we got and stuff (in case you're dull like me at times). I may or may not send you a PM here soon Ren. Depends on if I pass out or not.

[Renose]

Uhh... of which updated CS?

Your current ones or for ones of characters you send to me?

[Keia Vewyx]

Ah, right, I forgot that Renose needs to continually update our CSes...

Everyone should just stick some characters on a Google Doc / Pirate/Titan/Etherpad and PM the link to Renose and let him edit it. That way, we can see any edits he makes without the other players knowing. If, of course, Ryu and ERode (if he finishes a character before everyone dies first) wants to try this.
