No not really... I'm sort of confused right now. I saw in your last post.

Think it was in the post before that . . . course that's probably pages ago now

No not really... I'm sort of confused right now. I saw in your last post that you refereed to Samira twice but that she's not present with Jibril and the others.



That might be dangerious words...

Yeah, I was sort of confused about why Samira got upset, since we basically decided to run with her plan out of order. I figured she must be acting extremely bratty because we didn't ignore everything else and do exactly what she wanted exactly how she wanted, so Shalah thinks Samira's just distracted by the implications of the situation to her own heart and needs time to cool down. If necessary, Shalah can help Samira feel better with a Telempathic Projection, which is a great way to help people cheer up when they're feeling upset

That's ok, I'm pretty confused too. I guess I'm just working on my exit strategy for when the effects wear off and our host decides to kill us. I'm wondering if "Yes, let us kill the oathbreakers together!" would be enough to avoid slavery?

Oathbreakers? I dunno. Attraction is neither a Charm nor a Compulsion effect. In other words, it does not cause the target to succumb to the caster's will in any way. It just allows them to enjoy pleasure, which makes them more susceptible to mundane persuasion. Its the equivalent of "Hey, let me buy you a drink." before trying to convince someone, a crafty move but certainly not an assault.

Yeah

Yeah! about time you woke up! Check your email, please... I could use some help. (keep it on the down low. )

How so? Samira wanted to sneak of to see the fire nymph without taking the son or talking to the father... (We're doing none of that.)

Umm...actually I was awake. I was just attending my "Arthurian Literature and Celtic Colonisation" class . I didn't know that Samira's plan involved "You aren't allowed talk to Kadar first." In that case, I guess we did ignore that part

When was the last time you got a spell or effect cast upon you as a player that was anything other than a buff or healing that you considered polite behavior though? If nothing else it's rude, especially since you didn't go "Let me give you this pleasant experience" but basically "Drink this or else." Anyways, it's not my problem. I think it's at very least unethical behavior, but now that I understand that some of the other characters aren't ethical I'm just going to try to distance Tarek from them. After all, there are more of them than just Tarek, and he'd hate for someone to do him the kindness of charming him against his will if he speaks out. I'm glad he's not really a paladin, this would all be more awkward.

I don't know... That sounds like a convenient place for a nap.

Yeah...

“Jibril, my desires are the same that I speak but the young Marid does no the trouble he brings upon himself nor do I think that Malika understands… Rather or not he obeys his father is his call but he brings hardship, pain, and tragedy to all if he’s allowed to continue on. I wish to address Malika as subtlety as possible and to explain the suffering she will cause if she allows this to continue… Nothing is gained by talking to Kadar on the subject and young Marid is to far lost in his naive passion to understand the truth and to blinded by love to allow it to be shown. Will you guide me to this oasis so I can speak to the only one that can stop this tragedy?”

Yeah...

I guess I took it the wrong way.

I thought it was, "I think talking to Kadar is a waste of our time because it won't serve any purpose," a symbol lack of faith in Shalah's persuasiveness, when it was really, "I will get really mad if you talk to Kadar because I specifically want to not talk to him."

Another failed Sense Motive across the internet for Rystil

Its okay. Samira does pissy well enough to make it fun.

Anyhow, people where talking about marriage arrangements when Samira is convinced it not going to make it cause the fire nymph is going to turn him into a Screaming Alpha*.


* Navy Term. There are four classes of fire Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. Anyhow an Alpha fire leaves as ash residue after being on fire, examples are mattress, paper, chairs, and also people…

Now people on fire having a habit of screaming…

Shalah has faith in her circlet...and in the fact that Marid has been visiting her every night, and, while sunburned, he has thus far been safe
