Sorry, Albedo, but I have to bow out of this. Reading the IC post I recognized two things:
1 you already got very good players
2 this kind of posting style isn't for me.
Sorry I took so much of your time. Perhaps we will play together in another game

Sorry to lose you. I had high hopes for your character concept.
Btw, Shayuri, you're the only posted character who still needs to post in game. *prod prod*

Yah, I know...
I'm struggling a little.
Okay, kind of a lot.
It's a very different way of thinking of a scene, and I'm not sure I'm digging it.
Not throwing in the towel, mind you. Just trying to frame what I'm imagining in a way that conveys what I want it to convey, through the lens of your requested style.

Vertexx: I'm actually really glad you asked that question. Heres where I begin to define DM information and NPCs. Simply put, you guys don't know this information. The way to reveal it, or encounter it, would be to start some form of interaction with the NPCs, and I finish it.
Ex:
PC: Bob walks up to the strange man and says hi.
DM: Drogen, the strange man, gives bob an acknowledgement.
After information becomes known you can feel free to use it, though you guys don't hold any sway over the actions of "DM" NPCs, characters which I introduce. As stated above, you write the seen just up to the point where a reaction is expected and I finish it.

What's getting to me is the constant shifts in perspective. It's like trying to listen to five people telling different stories about different things at the same time.
Figuratively speaking.
It also means that not only do I have to think about my character and the surroundings, but I also have to think about the nameless, faceless narrator's character; who they are, how they know my character, what do they know, how do they feel...all of that tinges their statements.
So far at least, it seems like a lot of extra work that leads to nothing except a lot of "static" that only detracts from the narrative and adds nothing.
I will try to post tonight though, complaints aside, and give it a try before I make a final decision. It may also be tomorrow, if tonight winds up being movie night after all.
I do apologize for the delay.

Ok this experimental format is going to take some getting used to. So whats the next step in the little drama unfolding in front of the entire tavern? Does Prontius think that a grapple would do any good? I figured it for useless at epic lvls with all of the FoM and swordsage multiclassing around. I think a shadow blink (sw) and a bit of a chat are in order now? Or do I need to roll initiative first?
You can't justify the ring of sequestering's 300k pricetag if it only provides the same function as invisibility (20k) plus non detection (35k). It has to function at least as Improved Invisibility with Nondetection. In one of Jemal's epic games we priced a ring of improved invis around 215k. If you won't relent to this interpretation then I'll need to find something else to do with that 300k, as the ring of sequestering will be rendered a completely useless item.

lol
Completely useless item...
Well, to each their own.
I think I'm gonna hafta bow out after all. Before I actually do something that changes the game and thus requires some form of acknowledgement.
As it is, I can still just pretend I was never there...which I find preferable.
I hope y'all have fun, and good luck!
