Life in Stasis

The Absent King

Quick reminder that pistols in this game aren't typically quickfire weapons. They look like this. They're cumbersome, front-loaded, and can only be fired once before needing to reload. They're used as adjunct weapons to swords, bows, etc. Fortunately for Gawain, they're also wildly inaccurate outside close range.

Lothren spent an entire scene loading his arquebus before he made a move to use it. I can say that Juna had this pistol preloaded before she took it from her vest and fired, but keep in mind that we're not just carrying glocks around.

The Absent King

Hadn't anticipated that.

Posting order was pretty strict in my day. I mean kind of. I remember one night where like 3/4 of us just kept posting and everyone else was taken aback in the morning. So man I have no idea. This is new to me too. You're all more well versed at this than me, probably.

If I did post though, it'd just be to move the evil bugs around and make hissing noises or whatever, not to move the scene forward.

The Absent King

Oh that'd be fine too! I'm not going to micromanage.

The Absent King

ZB said he'd post, and I can move the scene along for you guys. I imagine it'll take a few rounds for this scene to close. Could be a few days or a week or more, but that's just a rough estimate. Depends.

The Absent King

Sorry I thought he registered as Raptor. Fireball XL5 will be joining our RP in the next scene. He'll have to wait a few rounds, but he's an old friend of mine. He'll be lurking in the shadows, watching.

The Absent King

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. Helps me plan things.

The Absent King

Just reminding everyone (and myself) that the post rounds include Errant Son, Thortimer, ZB1996, Culluket, and me. We're a bit low at the moment until JJ returns from Russia and FW gets an operational computer.

I'll be able to post another round for all but Cull once ZB posts. I guess I should stop calling them the Ytharien since only Juna is still a member.

I was actually leaving Lothren's fate up to the players! But we'll say he's just really pretty beaten atm.

And what do you mean lying? Only way he's know that Almeri was stabbed from the neck was if he was there. It's just a minor detail though.

The Absent King

Looks good! Very exciting.

The only thing I'd point out, which I admit wasn't clear in the writing, was that Aust killed the Magus only after everyone had left. I actually asked what spell FateWeaver's character was casting on the Magus, and he'd said that he was just making it look like he wasn't about to cruelly kill the poor guy.

Other than that I see no problems at all.

How badly did he injure Lothren, you think? Did he just hit him once or cave in his face?
