[5e] Spell & Crossbones

[Shayuri]

Ah, sorry about that y'all. I'll throw in little narrative clues, but it's so easy to forget that clues are only easy to see if you already know the answer.

I'll do that from now on.

I'll try to remember! I've played a lot of games and we've never done that before so it might take some getting used to.

I think my favorite part about this scene is how Nia's subtly trying to make it look like she planned for this to happen all along.

Hee hee...

 

[Queenie]

lol. You sneaky girl! Well, the Captain needs *something* to go smoothly. Between rogue characters and her terrible rolls, this is definitely a night to get drunk! That is, of course, assuming they are not going directly to steal someone's ship. Heh.

 

[Shayuri]

lol

Nah, we don't have to steal the boat. We have to win it! Twice.

This is Nia's con though, you know? It's so much easier to be a witch when no one's sure when something's happening because of you, because given a choice between, "Something is making this happen," and "this is random chance" people always tend to bias towards the former. It's only a problem when people's expectations of your power inflate way beyond the reality, but even then if you're a big enough beeyotch, you can always just say, "No, I won't do dis, because NEENER" and people will be mad, but they won't doubt you COULD do it if you wanted to.

Hee hee.

That way you can be a witch and hardly ever have to cast a spell. Much more effective, because if you cast too many spells people get concrete ideas about what you can do, and what you can't. Which is bad for all kinds of reasons.

No I get it. Cause it kind of works that way with badasses too. You never know when will *actually* be the time you end up with your head full of hot iron or your belly full of pointy steel.

Hah! Good point! Nia and Kat are kind of working the same racket from different angles then.

Cousins think alike! Even though Nia is a little, you know, "creepy in that unknown powers" type of way, I am playing that Kat somewhat trusts her due to her (at least at the moment) calming nature... and that inevitable draw that relatives sometimes have. I think she sees some of herself in Nia, looks wise, and that is why she keeps thinking she knows her from someplace.

Hope that is all good with you

Pirate bonding, Varlok about to flex muscles and wit, crude jokes about dwarven beards, Gentleman Jim on his way to becoming a double (triple? quadruple?) agent, and a ship waiting for you somewhere out in the stormy night...

Ah, warms me heart In fact, it reminds me of a song...

Figured we could all use a laugh

 

[Queenie]

That was funny! Is that from this Monkey Island you keep mentioning?
