Who Wants To Go On An Adventure!!! (FULL)

Furnace stood and stared into the distance with Alula.
Pondering the magnificent energies he'd seen and was seeing.
This sun. the memory of that moon. It was fascinating.

From the corner of his sight he saw the aurumancer point at them.
"Do not forget, there are people who we know for certain are still alive that need protecting."
He was right. They were both dressed in cloth and nothing but cloth.
"That is ok. I can make more, I'll need resources though. We might find them at the town."
Furnace started to list materials needed for protection of the top of his head.
"I'll need metals, lots of iron,
coal,powdered metals like gold, magnesium and silver,
a cold-iron or stone surface to work on,
a bucket of walnut oil...
any other tools like chisels and tongues save some time making them...
I already have a hammer."

"Intresting"
Furnace pondered his forehead calligraphy.
"Are these words given by or to me? I wonder what hardships the could be. They aren't future ones are they?"

DM didn't think you had a shirt.

His word is law.

You have no shirt.

@Voltus_Ventus

Blood Compact (Open!)

@akje
That was kinda cool.

Ah, the Foundation is such a wonderful store of horrors. Although, if you're going to have some of the more powerful SCPs like the Scarlet King show up, it'll be a serious problem.

@thewizardguy

Yeah, that's why it's loosely based. There's a lot of stuff on that site that can't be in our game for obvious reasons.

Now that the secret's out in OOC, people could make foundation agents as well if they like. With some instructions from me what their agenda and knowledge would be.

I have an idea for a possible leader rolling around in my head, though I'm not sure if it'll ever be relevant.

Blood Compact (Open!)

@akje Ooooooooooooooooooh

Now I get it. Okay. But that would kill vampires too, as the formation of blood requires nutrients gathered from plants and animals which were formed due to sunlight. So the vampire would be unable to properly feed on blood, and would starve to death within the year.

Good thing they didn't use it ^^

@thewizardguy

I guess that depends on whether the vampire literally feeds of nutrients in the blood or if the blood is a conduit for a more mystical something.
Feeding on the creatures life force.

The thought occurred but I decided that Martin assumes the latter. Then figure it out later if it comes up.
Seems like the point is moot now. I do like what Mo did with it.

I am back, expect a post within 24 hours

@The Wanderer

We'll be watching vigilantly.

Furnace listened intensely to her explanation.
While he studied her words he thought of the way he could get a hold of energy from deep inside and send it outwards.
He saw a mental image of how he'd move his hands to manipulate the strands and strings that flow trough the ether.
The image shifted to Alula plucking strings from the sky, weaving sharp beams of moonlight with grace and ease.
Then his imagination shifted to an opposite. Carver making the same movements under the sun, weaving bright lances of sunlight with strength and vigilance. Both receiving their power, flowing down from the heavens in a shower of inspiring patterns.

These were energies of a nature strange to Furnace.
Like the positive and negative they were two sides of a coin, but that was were the similarities stopped.
"I understand. Complex forces don't come as natural to me as the more simple energies like light and dark. Or heat."
Furnace looked defeated, yet still curious. He carefully touched his forehead.
"What words are there here?"

Blood Compact (Open!)

Son of a Bitch. Akje? Why is the Foundation here?

@thewizardguy

Ever since I was writing Martin's background for this version of compact and I saw Void's style of CS.
Inspired I let my mysterious organisation be (loosely) based on the foundation.

I knew you'd be the first to recognize it ;)
So now you know OC Martin's reason for wanting the sword Contagion so badly.
The foundation wants it's assets back.

I think you'll recognise this.

Magic? MAGIC! MAAAGIC!

Who Wants To Go On An Adventure!!! (FULL)

Furnace eyes brightened in excitement.
"Exotic words? Spontaneously appearing? Sounds like magic!
And you know it? Please tell me about it. What kind of energy is it? What's it's purpose? Can I learn it?!"
While any other would have picked up on Alula's discomfort and concern immediately Furnace completely failed to notice.
His mind immediately swarmed with questions and half answers. Memories of lessons on spell-craft long ago.

All magic is energy given shape and purpose. The shape is like a vessel for the energy, an instruction that spends the energy to rewrite the laws of nature to a purpose. The purpose is chosen by the entity who gives shape. Shapes can be learned. The most potent shape, the hardest to master but the most versatile of all shapes, is the word.

The voice had refused to teach him how to use words, said it didn't suit him. He had affinity with the natural path, the path of learning to shape energy trough intuition. But that didn't stop Furnace from desiring this knowledge. And suddenly an opportunity stood before him.
