General Discussion Thread VIII

Well, there has been at least one NPC Elan, and she survived the encounter with the PCs. Thus, she might have run into your character anyway.

With the whole "I'm a recovering god" thing, it appears to me that Zaeryl is highly delusional, making it substantially less important that anything be consistent with his delusions.

Of course, I base this only upon what I've seen in the inn, so your mileage may vary.

Well he's not a recovering god (he calls others mortals because they die of old age, unlike him--rln came closest when he said, "Zaeryl have morals? Perhaps, but they are the morals of an extraplanar, astral puppet master "), but his belief of himself is correct. I can't get into too much detail here for other reasons or I would have in his history.

Awww, it was more fun being the only active Elan.

Boog Sammas knows that others were made as was he, but he has yet to encounter any this far north.

And there's the contrast between Zaeryl and Boog...Boog's "puppet master" is just along for the ride. Doesn't even give good advice...just dispenses power. Sometimes Boog even knows why or when the power is to be dispensed...sometimes.

Hey, we independently came up with that similar explanation for elan powers? That's pretty darn cool

 

[Bront]

Wow, I made an adventure so distastefull that I've driven away 2 adventurers already!

Maybe I should have simply suggested we kill children or something :\

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Zaeryl had no distaste for the task, but he doesn't want to piss off the local authorities in Orussus. If it was stealing from a merchant or something, he might have done it, but not the authorities themselves--having the authorities and a thief gang both hate you is bad for business )

I think it was the risk to reward ratio that drove them away, rather than moral enlightenment, but that's still quite an accomplishment! Trindle Isle Market also seems to be hitting a bump in the road, the next day or two should clarify exactly how severe...

 

[Manzanita]

Bront, you took a chance creating a morally ambiguous adventure. I'm pleased that you tried. I'm also pleased that PCs are willing to say 'no' to an adventure. There should be that occationally. It means PCs are doing some RPing.

If I get my 3rd PC up soon, perhaps I can still get in yours, Bront. I don't remember that there were any spoilers in your proposal. In fact, I don't recall that you'd even really figured out the plot yet.

 

[Dungannon]

Rest assured Bront, if Devlin Magruder wasn't out bluffing loggers out of their camp to appease sentient wolves, he'd be right there in your adventure.
