Eschton [mature] IC - Calling Arabesu

[Voidrazor]

Noticing Arhaux snooping about, Serraphina pauses for a moment inclining her head toward Jenner and a moment later he approaches the Izzemyrian. "Is there something her ladyship can help you with citizen?"

"Tell your mistress that a mutual friend noticed her little scouting mission is less likely to fail if I'm present."

did Rino just vanish off the planet or did he ever get that lvl 27 game going?

He's active in Darimaus' No Man's Land, but he dropped the epic game without saying anything.[/sblock][sblock=Shayuri]There's something slightly off about what Serraphina said, but you're not sure if she's actually lying.[/sblock][sblock=Nepthys]Serraphina is exaggerating. You don't think she's actually spoken with The Lord High Inquisitor, although perhaps one of his representatives. Also, the degree of the threat is overstated, though perhaps not to a great degree. To some degree she may have convinced herself that these exaggerations are true, however.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]I don't have MMII with me at the moment but I believe Karnak's save bonus is higher than the DC to avoid blowing up[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Thats nice void, I try mould a bunch of direstionless players into a team with a common goal with a slightly interesting story, in character no less, and you just flat out tell em I'm full of crap? Way to promote forward story motion.[/sblock]

Thats nice void, I try mould a bunch of direstionless players into a team with a common goal with a slightly interesting story, in character no less, and you just flat out tell em I'm full of crap? Way to promote forward story motion.

First off, you are referring to information that was sblocked to other characters. And while that does not actually piss me off the way it would most DM's, I'd like to warn everyone that any use of OOC information IC is not acceptable.

Regarding the information that was divulged to Nepthys and Shayuri's characters, I made the relevant Bluff and Senese Motive checks on Invisible Castle (under the names of the appropriate characters if you'd like to check). It might have been expedient to ignore the fact that Melanoce can tell when Serraphina is exaggerating. I suspect that at least most of the party will want to look into the matter when and if the actual situation is revealed. I've said all along that the PCs can pursue whatever plotlines they see fit. I'm not going to railroad.[/sblock]

 

[Vertexx69]

[sblock=OOC]It's cool. Of course I am exagrating as the little information I have is speculative. But I am trying to take what info Serraphina has recieved in character and make just a few logical deductions ie: a god of pure evil probably isn't ammasing a force of sight seers
and spicing up the descriptions are just my way of trying to hook the others into a storyline that might be fun for everyone.
Yuh did say we were going to be driving our storylines for the most part, and my last IC post is just me trying to do that. Not trying to decieve anyone else, just seemed more like roleplaying to make a speech instead of typing - I roll bluff, or negociations.
P.S. on a completely different topic, were we not playing with the 1 always fails-20 always hits rule?[/sblock]

 

[Nephtys]

Melanoce looks sceptical.
"Surely they must be rational beings on some level, or else their society would have collapsed or never formed at all. If they are at least somewhat rational then surely they can be reasoned with. I would gladly assist in any such measures, if I get some guarantees that the path of mediation will be given a chance and some room to make concessions to adress their complaints."
"The military solution, if it comes to that, should probably be left to professionals like Karnak here, if the fleets of Eschaton are for some reason unavailable. But I can certainly aid in the logistics at a reasonable price, the military tends to be horrifically uneconomical."
"But before we do anything we must go trough the proper political channels. Without authorisation from the government we will be nothing more than vigilantees and will likely do far more harm than good to out common cause."

I do appreciate your efforts to move things along. To be clear, no Citizen in their right mind would want to be subject to Outer Dark colonization. The Lords of the Outer Dark consume souls, and its rumored that many of their minions can warp both bodies and souls into unrecognizibility. Even if a Citizen was willing to put up with that risk, there's the strong possibility of an Inquisitor destroying the infested planet to stop the spread.

Cocking an eye to Jenner for a moment then returning it to the small group assembled before her. "If you are interested in pursuing this matter further meet me at these coordinants in three days. And of course if you have any concerns feel free to stop bye my glorious home of Tahrna on Tran'sa 'Kuul, planet of night."

Jenner leans in, "The lady graciously accepts your offer to accompany her in her investigations. Please rendezvous at these coordinants in three days." Adding with his devilish smile "...And do dress to impress." And with that heads back to Serraphina, pressing a fresh drink into her hand.

Again taking Karnak by the arm, Serraphina looks to the others seeing if they have any feedback before leading away toward the dance floor. "So the council speaks highly of your martial prowess lord karnak. Perhaps we could find some time to put that claim to a friendly test?"

 

[Avalon®]

Grinning devilishly, Lord Karnak speaks to Serraphina softly.
"A little sparring match then? We'll do it here as a show for the other guests."

 

[Shayuri]

Sigil takes interest at the mention of a sparring match. She glides up to get a better look at Karnak.

"Interesting. But who would you fight?"

 

[Nephtys]

"Oh, lovely." Melanoce grins, "Would you care to place a bet, queen Sigil? I think our two fighters are a fairly even match. Lord Karnak is a seasoned warrior, but our dear Seraphina is infamous for her resourcefulness."
