[OOC] Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

[EliteCommander]

I'm waiting for a response to a PM before deciding.

[Ryonara]

Meirin will go on the Caravan escort quest.

[Fallenreaper]

Ryonara said
Meirin will go on the Caravan escort quest.

Alright, I'll add it.

[Lucius Cypher]

Cool, two people for me. It's a nice size group, but I can take one more. Let me message Luna and see if she can be active enough for this, maybe at least get an IC post in to show her availability.

[Ryonara]

Wait, Cypher I thought you had a plan for Meirin and Annabeth?

[EliteCommander]

In a very conveniently timed response, I'll be going on the Escort quest.

If I have to... I'll figure a way to sneak Lyn on it. :P *teases*

I forgot. Sorry about that boyo, but we can hold it off from another time.

Me: Go for it.

Tyrael: "I think it'll be a good experience for Lyn" *Sends his own demons to follow them to make sure everything turns out alright)

Lucilia: "That's a foolish idea. We have a lesson coming up, and she needs to be there!" *Gives Lyn some potions and ethers to assist her after inevitable escape)

Hahaha now it's even more tempting. With Mommy and Daddy gone, poor Lyn's likely to get in a lot of trouble. Though I'm sure the rest of the crew, namely Ssarak and Alaira will not be happy. XD (Makes sure to bring her little stuff animal along just for an extra level of safety so the players don't have to protect her all the time as well as get her connected to more poor souls.)

What. Was this a ploy just so that you had players joining your quest?

I'm deciding if I should have Tyrael or Lucilia be the cause of Lyn's escape. It wouldn't be fair to have both teachers send her off with their blessing. I think I'll have Lucilia do it. After Mar and Athalus get their mission from her, Lucilia will come by to pick up Lyn only to hear how Lyn wants to help too. Of course Lucilia doesn't think that Lyn could help, but than again most adventuring parties get stronger the more quests they go on. So she'll send Lyn on the only missions which neither of her parents are involved in, and will get Lyn prepared for both. Maybe I'll have Tyrael drop by and give his gifts as well, with a dose of tension between the two opposing mentors.

Oh no, I'd never devise a ploy that dastardly. This was merely a pleasant coincidence on my part.

Might be nice scene and get her some breakfast too, lol. Mar will likely leave her in Lucilia's or someone else's care while she and Athalus get ready, granted he might need to keep Mar on task as she'll fret a bit. Mother instinct sucks for her at this stage. XD

It might give the players a chance to either stop, hinder, or help if they would like to. Poor, child. Though unless Lucilia has a psychomancer rune (which might be possible since the psychomancer teacher would've, at Sam's request a month ago, had done a complete mental scan to ensure there wasn't any damage due to her rapid growth and Satori could've shared her finding to Lucilia...) it might be hard to display what Lyn wants. Lyn can't verbally speak her mind since its more complex then gestures and little looks, for her mind to grasp.

Which reminds me, for all those who've had any heavy spent periods with Lyn within the two months say AYE! and I'll have a list of meanings for key gestures of hers so we're not fumbling around when it comes to communications. Though I think only Alaira, Mar, Althalus, Coco, and a few others will be able to be expected be translators in Lyn-ese.

Mine said
The first mission is mine:

Rurik: Seems the Gods have seen it fit to have a Roc roost on Leaper’s Plateau since his recent departure and now the blasted thing saw fit to take his goods, cart and all, right up back to her nest! And now, Rurik needs help in retrieving it before he can continue onto the college as well as lose what precious goods he has in stock. Goal- Steal the cart back and defeat Roc, if needed…

Second is Rtron's due to I figured Chessy's involvement:

Eania elective: strange mages are running a rampaging all over the Eania countryside and destroying local farmlands. Depending on PC group size. Goal-Save the citizens and defeat the mages in Symphony.

Third would likely be yours as it sounds like something Kudd's followers might do:

Djarkel elective: many supply wagons going to Sanguine from Hysteria have disappeared without a trace along the way. However a few merchants, beaten and bruised, had managed to escape after surviving the ordeal. They claim it’s the work of demons and now Djarkel’s about to send another caravan through, but this time with College mages escorting them! Goal-Protect as many as the merchant as possible and find any details on the ones behind this.

Me- Aramir, Annabeth, Liam, Meirin
Rtron- Grey, Mar, Coco, Athalus, Leith
Lucius- Alaira, Darius, Ssarak, Lyn (?)

Alright, so far I believe I have everyone in the right place. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong since everyone's using different terms which makes it hard to figure out which mission they are talking about. It's easier if everyone just state, Fallen's, Lucius's, or Rtron's. As terrible as that sounds, it's rather easier. :P

[Lucius Cypher]

I don't think Annabeth had any quality time with the child, aside from trying to get her gifts, but even that detail has escaped her since so long ago. Anyways, I don't think that Lucilia would have commissioned the rune, at least not for herself. So long as Lyn's physical and mental health is okay, there is no need to constantly resort to magic just to get around things like baby talk. Lyn will grow to learn how to talk to others without needing to use a magic rune as a crutch. Can't say the same for others, but that's what Lucilia would do. Lucilia is pretty good with her Sense Motive checks, and Lyn isn't exactly the prodigy of glibness.

True, she's smart enough to understand language, just performing it is not exactly possible. If you think about its the same idea as people who understand speech yet can't read. They aren't stupid, they know what you're saying, but reading it is another matter slightly more complexed for them.

[Lucius Cypher]

In that case, it shouldn't be a problem. As long as Lyn can do as Lucilia or what anyone else says, she should be fine. As for the reading part, that's why Lucilia is a teacher. To teach things.

Going off topic, do you remember what type of stuff animal Annabeth gave Lyn? I think it was a bear, wasn't it or was it another animal? *thinks Uicle might've stuffed said spirit in toy*

[Ryonara]

I think Annabeth gave Lyn a chew toy. Apparently she was choosing between a dog, a cat, or a snake. Also I don't think Meirin even knows Lyn or her parents personally. Athalus and Mar are like those two couples that everyone sees but no one really interacts with because the woman has the man whipped, and the woman only cares about going about her business, dragging her man along. You know the type.

[Lucius Cypher]

Mostly correct there boyo. Annabeth gave Myn a chew toy, as lots of babies tend to be omnivores until they develop taste buds. For all intents and purposes however, Annabeth could have made Lyn a stuff animal depending on what sort of animal Lyn likes. She's not the best seamstress, but she puts her heart and soul into it.

Me: This'll be fun.

Althalus: Haha. Ha. No.

He's going to flip the fuck out when he finds out that Lyn went on the highly dangerous mission(s).

Althalus, after being literally forced by Uicle to go on the mission, will help. He'll be assuming Lyn will be safe and such. You know. Not on deadly missions unfit for a three month old child.

Althalus would never forgive anyone who helped send Lyn onto the dangerous mission that could have very easily resulted in death.
