House Wars and Blood Feuds In Old Venara

For the love of the Sisters, what the hell has happened to Lucien? He's always had a temper, but this ... This is new. Oh, where is the boy I had gone to look at boats with, dreaming of adventure?

Feeling the clap of Lucien's hand on his back, Pieter turned slightly to his old friend, reaching out and clasping his shoulder for a moment, squeezing before letting go, concern lighting Pieter's gaze.

At that moment, a sweating servant with a patchy comb-over began to refill Pieter's drinking cup. Watching the wine pour out, Pieter lightly held his hand out when the glass was nearly half full, saying softly,

"Very good, Eduardo. This is excellent for now. Thank you."

Taking a small sip of the wine, Pieter reached over to a bowl brimming with bread buns. Taking one that had cheese melted over it, Pieter took a bite of it. He thought it a good idea to eat, it would encourage others to become more at ease. More like a family sharing a meal than a group of Pirate Captains sizing each other up. Hell, Pieter knew a few pirates who would gladly hang from the gibbet just to get at this meal. These cheese buns were good.

"Lucien, try these cheese buns, they're just like when we were kids."

Washing down some of the cheese bun with a small sip of rosé, Pieter narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the heavy wooden chair scrape against the stone, before Lorenzo sat down.

What is Nalia trying to do here? If she's trying to win succor with Fiona, this might not be the path I would take. (Then again, I would go down some very dark paths to win Fiona's succor.) Giving too much favor to Lorenzo and Fiona and she might end up letting Fiona take over. Or maybe this is an early concession? Either way, I'm going to have to talk to Nalia privately sooner rather than later. Lucien too for that matter. Oh, Leon! If only you could see us now. I'd write you that sycophantic ode I always threatened you with when you were annoyed at me.

Well, if the Head of the House orders to eat, Pieter's the last one to dare disobey that order.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

Updated the stuff. Basically making Marguerite a 'jack of all spells, master of none' when it comes to magic, and cleared up what Excellent prismatic spray can and can't do. (Ruin someones day: Yes. Ruin planet's day: No.)

Should be fun!

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

1) There would be no powers to rival the Gods, because they use a completely different kind of 'magic' than mortals do. But I suppose the rumor that a civilization once could rival the Gods could be exaggerated.

@POOHEAD189

Yeah, I was going for Atlantis level hyperbole

2)A lot of people would probably stay in the Southland, even after their purpose is done, so your expedition base having been there for a few years might just wanna stay put. They don't need to, but it seems logical they wouldn't do a near suicidal trip twice. Even the water has Sea monsters, and they might be tolled by the Elven Navy to travel through their waters. Just something to think on, you don't need to change it necessarily.

3) Runes are for Dwarves. Use 'Glyphs' for your charms

ur mums a dwarf No problem!

4)Mik-Damat's Defiant Noise I'll have you take away.

I humbly plead that you will turn it into an artefact that will be later lootable in game. It's honestly one of the best things I've ever thought of.

5) Yes, TFF is right, make sure to note what kind of magic you specialize in, even if you have a variety of spells.

I'll figure something out for her to be extra-decent in

House Wars and Blood Feuds In Old Venara

I absolutely love her. She's so perfect. I *would* like to to know how she learned how to pick locks and get her hands on multiple firearms, however. (Though I suppose one could definitely lead to the other....)

If she's accepted, I would love to talk @Atrophy, because I would to collab together on her and Pieter's past history. Not to mention a collab post of them bantering. (I've retyped this post at least 5 times trying to find a balance between me enthusing about your character and me not trying to sound like Pieter is trying to sleep with someone nearly a decade younger than him)

House Wars and Blood Feuds In Old Venara

Pleased with how this is picking up! Debating if I should make another post just filling in more on Pieter's reaction to Lucien and Nalia.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

<Snipped quote by The Fated Fallen>

@Sypherkhode822 I was wonderiing that too. So I was thinking: 'Man, Marguerite should probably aim carefully and try not to hit the ground or she might split the planet in two.'

Either that or it would be a severely underwhelming spell, because light doesn't pass through most things.

@Darkraven

Excellent Prismatic Spray just comes from Tales of a Dying Earth. Really, it's like an extra-rainbow-y magic missile. It's not carving through planets anytime soon. Maybe small, very porous planets made of a soft crumbly cheese.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

Updated my dood. Got rid of the mask, added some fun spells.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

Cool, thanks guys! I did spin this out in a single 3.00 am slamfest, so I'll go and top it up. The mask thing was sorta something that evolved halfway through and ended up not being all that coherent. I think I'll either get rid of the mask or make it far more relevant.

The Octopus: A 19th Century Political/Crime RP

Name: Morris Cohen

Age: 43

Ethnicity: German Jew

Occupation/Place in the Combination: Ward Boss of the Jewish West Side

Personal History: Having emigrated to America as a child, Morris was raised in Central's 'Uptown' West Side. He had an ordinary upbringing in the German Jewish community, attending synagogue regularly. Morris was always a sociable fellow, and belonged to numerous clubs and organizations, fundraising among the German Jewish community for sponsoring a group of 'poor Russians' to immigrate to Ottoman Palestine and settle an agricultural commune there. Morris is especially talented at persuasion, quoting from the Torah and Talmud to convince others to give money. Although the commune folds two years after it's founding due to continued ideological grievances between the anarchist and the social democratic factions of the commune, Morris counts it as a personal success. Leaving the dry goods store to his brother, Abraham, Morris takes up politics as his profession, integrating himself into the Combination. Morris is successful with courting the German Jewish vote, handily winning their votes for the Combination. With the growing trend of new Russian immigrants arriving from the Pale, Morris has had to start to adapt, but so far his strategies have proven effective. The only other politics these greenhorns know about is socialism, but that's such a joke that nobody is ever going to listen to that except for a few bozos, right? Besides, all Morris has to do is play up his faithfulness to the new Orthodox crowds, convince a couple factory owners to let them have Saturday off instead of Sunday, and they love him!
