[OOC] Of Vile Darkness - Full

[Brother Shatterstone]

Hmmm... Well, here's how it might have gone down. She took a total of 93 points of damage (ten of that Vile) and five negative levels in the first two rounds. Loviana has a total of 106 hit points. Aekir's next hit did 16 points of damage (including one Vile), which would have brought her to -3 hit points plus an additional negative level. If Aekir would have left her when she fell, assuming she was dead, Loviana may be able to regain consciousness and escape the Hydra later.

That would work for me and is sort of what I suggested in my secound email I sent you. Which makes me wonder if you got it now so did you?

If warhn is on board for this that's great, but his guy is highly professional and you did ask him if he wanted to land all of those blows so it's really warhn's call. I could go either way. I think it could be intresting to see how Loviana handles the whole being a disgusting undead.

(I did get your e-mail Bro, but I thought I'd run this by you first)

Cool, I'm more than happy either way. I'm also more than willing to rebuild Loviana with the Unholy Warrior Handbook, as that's how I first envisioned her and now you have that book. If you have no desire for that I understand that too.

I am flexible. Putting her down with only a single attack would leave him with more time to get the heck out. Finishing her off would also be in his character, so I am flexible to other people's desires.

I would rather continue to play with Loviana than make a new character and I’ve come to the decision that being undead isn’t a character killer so I’m really fine with either being at –3 hit points or being brought back as a wight.

I am worried about being undead as they have severe weaknesses, mainly being turned and also I just how hard it will be for Loviana to pass as human but theirs also an advantage. Loviana up in till this point has always been a character that doesn’t work in the group concept and her goal to be restored to normal would make her put on hold, maybe even forget, her with for Loviatar.

She has a need for money, the desire to search for someone who would restore her to life, etc. I guess she becomes more like a typical character as a wight.

So I leave my decision up to the person who has to deal with the consequences the most... Isida it's you call.

Ok, how about this. I'd rather not have an undead character. If we want to do a little bit of editing, we could do this scenario; Loviana falls unconscious on Aekir's first hit of the second round, unconscious but not dead. Aekir leaves without Loviana at Ssessarina's insistence. Loviana could be found by someone in the Honor's Shield and brought inside to recoperate. Perhaps even Orshallan himself would tend to such a poor child so brutally attacked by some terrible blasphemous creature.

Or if Aekir would truly prefer to kill her, maybe Bro could make another character. I just looked over the Unholy Warrior's handbook again and you could make a new character using that book.

Or the third option, someone send me the wight template and I'll look over it. What's it going to be?

I believe you mean third round… His second round, and fatal, round of 5 attacks.

Aekir leaves without Loviana at Ssessarina's insistence. Loviana could be found by someone in the Honor's Shield and brought inside to recoperate. Perhaps even Orshallan himself would tend to such a poor child so brutally attacked by some terrible blasphemous creature.

This would be prefect for Loviana, as it's pretty much what she wanted out of Brother Terrel...

Or if Aekir would truly prefer to kill her, maybe Bro could make another character. I just looked over the Unholy Warrior's handbook again and you could make a new character using that book.

hhhmmm. A plague carrying unholy warrior spreading desires and destruction with everyone of his tender touches... hmm very hard to resist.

Or the third option, someone send me the wight template and I'll look over it. What's it going to be?

Sure, I'll do it tonight, I think it will go rather quick and painless...

I don't really get a choice in the matter, Loviana is just a no so innocent victim of chance...

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Sent... little under an hour, I guess that's not to bad as I was rather distracted.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Ok then, if Wrahn will agree to do a little editing as for not picking up Loviana, and we'll just assume she's unconscious but not dead, I'll do some editing on my part, and we'll go from there. How does that work for everyone?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

How does that work for everyone?

Wonderful, and I thank both of you.

 

[Wrahn]

Works for me, I will edit my posts.

Hello all! Would you like to be vile? Sure, we all would, but your DM won't let you because his five-year-old wanders through the dining room where you play way too often for comfort. "But Isida," you say, "I still want to be vile!" Then look no further my friend, because Isida Kep'Tukari's Vile Darkness game is looking for new recruits!

"But Isida, this game started back in last October, how in the world am I going to catch up?" Well, let me tell you. I was originally going for a more traditional party where everyone would work together for some common goal. But I wanted everyone to be able to establish themselves as independent at first. That eventually evolved into the current gaming structure, one of a loosely-woven web of villains all living in the same city and working for the same organization, but only rarely bumping into one another.

So it is extremely easy to drop in and out of the game. I like to have about six people in my party, and I currently only have 4! However, as at some point in the future this crazy band might meet my Exaulted Deeds game, I need an equal number in each game. As there are 7 PCs in that game, I need 7 PCs in this game. So I need three more vile villains to run around my captial city and cause some havoc.

Now tell me, who really wants to be vile?

Notice for all my current players: I'm instituting a new policy for all of my games. If someone doesn't post for over three days and they are holding up the game because of it, I will NPC your player until you return (and you can immediately take up the reins agan). Absence for two weeks without prior notice means I bring in an alternate to take over your character (and they are allowed to make changes to them) or I bring in an entirely new player and character.

If we're in a closed environment and someone wants to bring in a new character, I reserve the right to have your character wander off, lose interest, take a new job, switch sides, or even kill them in order to keep the game moving. I do not want to have to play three abandoned PCs, so I will probably find a way to remove them from the party at the first available opportunity.

Please, please, please e-mail me if you realize you haven't posted in several days and real life is keeping you busy. I'd rather know that someone has had a hectic day at work than they found my game boring and quit. And if you find my games boring or confusing, please e-mail me to express your concerns. I'd hate for anyone to be bored playing my games.

I'm instituting this policy for the health of my games and am sincerely not trying to annoy anyone, so no one take it personally!
