Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[Steve Gorak]

Meanwhile, while everyone waits for the craftsmen, Kayla pulls Murdoch aside "Strange question...where does your power come from? The Witches of Rasheman weild what seem to be extremely similar magics, for they are descended from the spirits of the land itself. The Witch-Blooded can sense each other, and though weakly, I can...feel your power. Sort of. It is as if I really am in the presense of an accomplished Witch.

But to the extent that we understand that power, it is passed by blood from mother to daughter. There are no recorded instances of a male weilding this power. We always assumed there was some inherant reason for that. "

"To tell you the truth, I'm not entirely sure myself. My powers appeared suddently as a youth, and the the feys that trained me hinted that they were coming from Oberon. I never knew my parents, so I do not know if my powers come from them. For all I know, I may have some rashemi blood in my veins."

OOC: I assume we will be moving on to tackle Cronos in just a couple days, not waiting weeks for the full compliment of weapons to be repaired or replaced?

IC: At some point after things are quietly moving along, Timrin will seek out Maggie as she fidgets with the controls.

"Greetings milady," Timrin says with a bow. "Devan tells me you are making progress. How are you feeling these days?"

<He will sense motive her answer +15>

"So, are you getting a feel for this thing <refering to the ship>? I'm sure that we all agree that you should be the captain and pilot. Your naval experience coupled with your arcane knowledge make you the optimal choice."

ooc:
Just leveled Alethia, who is now a proud cleric 11/ranger 6. And as such, she now has access to 6th level spells. Be afraid.... Be very afraid. She now knows COMET FALL. Can't wait to try it out in battle.

 

[Falkus]

OOC: Say, did Dyria ever find out what new abilities her whip dagger gained after she beat the demon?

Now that she as more downtime, she manages to unlock its abilities. It is now shocking evil outsider bane +4, and grants an addiitonal +2 to all special maneuver opposed rolls (tripping, disarming, etc) . Additionally, it as 5 charges per day to use the following abilities

1 Charge: Emulate any combat feat for the remainder of the day. As a full round action, the feat may be changed. You must still meet the prereqs for the feats, ad they cannot be used as prereqs for any other feat.

2 Charges: Reflect a physical attack back on the attacker. This is one of the abilities the dmeon used on Dyria.

3 Charges: Fireblast. This is the blast abilty that the demon used on you guys, inflicting 100dmg in a 100ft radius.

Only useful outside, but a VERY cool spell.

I never knew my parents, so I do not know if my powers come from them. For all I know, I may have some rashemi blood in my veins."

Kayla's body language changes a bit, no longer masking her sadness and desperation that plight of her people.

"Indeed you may. If you do, though, you certainly have a destiny out east. Some will fear you, to be certain, but such an anomaly does not happen without reason. If the spirits of the land chose to empower a male with Witchfire, they much have a very special purpose for you. If the Thayans are able to overrun Rasheman, the spirits themselves will be in danger. If they ARE the source of your power, and they are slain, you will lose it."

She moves closer to Murdoch, puts her hand on his arm, and looks him straight in the eye.

Come back with me. Convince the others to do so as well. Prove that it would be best if we challenged the twice dmned there, blocking their offensive, rather than blundering into a frontal assault on Cronos while the Thayans slaughter and enslave countless innocents. Besides, I know the land, and have the connections. We can find your destiny, together."

To the first question:

"Besides the occasional numbness in my legs, yes, I'm fine. And that should go away in time."

To the second "Its a very, very hard ship to operate, but I'm getting used to it. I'll probably be discovering new features for a long time to come, but I think I have mastered its basic operation, and we are pretty far along in terms of trianing a crew to perform some various tasks. Again, owever, it wil take quite a while for me -- and them, to get really good a it, especially under time constriants. The weaponry will be decent, but I do not think I will be able to repair the ship's main guns, which rely on Cronos' dimensional barrier crossing technology to essentially disintegrate anything hey touch. The conventional weapons will work, and I am working on way to produce large amounts of ammunition for the drop cannons. I will need to alter the connection from the elementla plane of earth to produce suitable ammunition without having the transmuting abilities of the metal men. We are sill working to finish getting the water pipes, pressure, and temperature stuff working everywhere. Overall, the genral state of the ship is pretty good for flying, not great for large-scale combat, especially agianst Cronos' ships, some of whom DO have that disintegration weapon, altohugh the ship's defenses agianst magic MIGHT protect it. Also, the mithl is coming alive now that it is on a ship again. Soon we may be able to get some kinf of teleportation ability on this thing."

"Are we rushing things too much by pressing to be out of here in three days?", Timrin asks. "Cronos will be looking for this ship and I greatly fear his fleet. I will not be of much help in a fight of that nature. Nor will Dyria or Shando, or perhaps even Alethia."

"I will face any enemy but sitting in my cabin while mages blast away takes the fight out of my hands. I have faith in you but I want to be sure you are ready. I will advocate for additional time if you think it will help?"

 

[Hawkeye]

OOC: Shando will be taking the Leadership feat this level (Martyred Champion of Ilmater grants a feat at the next level). I need some assistance calculating the Leadership score. Now, base score is the easy part: Character level of 16+ charisma modifier of +6 gives a base score of 22. Does Shando qualify for Great Renown? I think he does for fairness and generosity. On Special power, is that per power? What about recent failures? I think the citadel counts for the +2, but since its mobile it moves around a lot for -1 . Thats at least a score of 23. Any help would be appreciated. Shando is going to be uncomfortable with the idea of followers, but will think of it as another duty.
