The Little Hamlet

@MaeAh I see, that makes total sense! I'll just have Boro prepare the library for the day in my first post, and then I'd be happy to have him interact with that village kid who comes by later on with your GM post!

The Little Hamlet

Hmmm, trying to figure out what Boro should do. I'm going to have him be cleaning up and preparing the library, but besides that I'm thinking about his first interactions. Does anyone want to visit the library? Or would anyone like a big librarian to deliver some nice books to them?

^{NYC Alleyway outside the Bookstore}

^{Interactions: Lorenzo @Eviledd1984]}

Hierophant Green’s tentacles stretched and contorted around the motorcycle, feeling the abrasive material of the tires spin against West’s puppet. West held on, trying to focus every fiber of his being into controlling Hierophant Green. But as the mystical vehicle began to rev, a gust of freezing cold wind violently blew back at Hierophant Green and West.

West yelled in complete shock, being knocked over. He tumbled and scrambled to the side of the alley behind a dumpster, trying to avoid the direct harm of this extreme temperature as this sudden blizzard-like breeze began to gnaw at his skin. The feeling was not something he was expecting, it felt like winter had come to NYC too early!

What in the world? This thing can create winter storms out of no where? I’ve never seen anything like it. Are these ghostly beings capable of channeling the elements of nature themselves?

He commanded Hierophant Green to stay strong, but it began to lose its grip on the violent vehicle, several of the tentacles pulling away as the winds pushed the being back toward the entrance of the alley. The motorcycle was straining against his pull, trying to run over the kid. However, a couple of West's tentacles still clamped on. He attempted to have them divide into smaller strands that all began to string around the motorcycle and tried clog up its wheels. Perhaps he could get wedge the tendrils between the vehicle and the rider, to pry him off his seat?! Some of his tentacles reached to try this tactic.

Or if I just work these tentacles and mess up the machinery, I can slow it down and hold it still for good? West grunted as he strained to control Hierophant Green with precision and power… It was getting difficult, especially with the intense winds. He needed to work with that kid. That kid seemed to have control of a zipper-themed ghost assistant!

He peeked past the dumpster and saw the kid trying to punch at the motorcycle. Maybe they could work in tandem, the kid punching the rider, and West trying to pull the vehicle down and in the opposite direction.

“Hey kid! I don’t know what the heck is going on, but maybe get him off his seat! I’ll drag his motorcycle down and you zipper him up and off it!” West screamed over the roaring winds.

Then, he used all his strength to have Hierophant Green try to stretch more tentacles, interweave them into the machinery, and pull the motorcycle down towards the ground to try to slam or topple it.

Cornelius Bojangles is a spectacular name. He seems like such an interesting, friendly lad :D

Wow the map looks amazing! What program/site did you use to make it?

Also, this might have been asked already, but are we going to stick to this OOC tab, or is there a possibility of a discord server for out of character planning and talk?

@Mae
For Boro's skills, this all looks great. Thank you!

The Little Hamlet

Also just to put everyone at ease skills are a work in progress system so don't worry too much if the IC goes up and they're not 100% perfect. I'll likely be tinkering with them for a bit

@Mae

I've never been in a text-based RP with a customized skill system like this, so it's really cool to see! Thank you for your effort in doing this for each of our characters!!

Goals and Quests

[Restoring the Library] Boro has recently come to town, and through a strange set of circumstances, he managed to become the new librarian of the public library. It is in much disrepair, but he hopes to reinvigorate and renovate it. He wants it to be a hub of cozy vibes and story sharing for everyone living in the Hamlet. To accomplish this goal, he will need to do a lot of cleaning and rebuilding, collecting of rare books, and fostering a love for reading in town.

@Mae
Thanks! I'm thinking that Boro could have some skills in fixing things, and some lowkey utility/scrying magic since he does stuff with collecting and studying magical books. Maybe skills like these would work:

Crafting - Repair
Crafting - Bookbinding
Shopkeeping
Haggling
Archive Knowledge ?
Research - Magical Items ?

Scrying Magic ?
Enchantment ?
Limited Telekinesis ?

Also, would it be possible to have utility telekinesis magic? Or mage hands? Realizing that Boro doesn't appear to have arms in the picture I'm using haha. It would be cool if he could just make books float around him.

As for the "trapping stories" line, not entirely sure how that would work. On one hand, this could just be his way of saying "writing these stories" lol. Or he could have a literal spell that takes the "story energy" of a situation and traps it into a book to add to the library. Open to either option!
