Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

Man, I really, really like Soder

 

[KidCthulhu]

Disturbing little mynx, isn't she?

I like to think so. In fact, many of her first interactions with party can be summed up by the phrase "creepy little F---er".

PC actually gave her a life expectancy of an ice cube in a butane torch when I created her, but she survived. I'm glad. Making a character up to join a game this high level takes time, and I would have hated to have to do it all over again.

Fascinating. It'll be interesting to see what a pure psion (is it psion?) can do in this party, since the last psion hasn't been in-phase in a long time. (How is Tremere, wife and child these days, BTW?)

One other question behind-scenes: KidC, were you using 3.5 psionics for this character, or the older rules? I'm just curious to know what kind of miracles to expect from this character down the road.

She was created in 3e, using stuff from Monte's Mindscapes as well. 3.5 Psionics wasn't out yet when I made her. We switched her to 3.5, which is a much, much better system. As for what she can do, you'll see, my pretty, you'll see...

Please think of that next time you kill off my lovely hand-crafted NPCs.

And suggesting "just make them lower level and they'll be faster to generate" isn't going to cut it, missy.

Just out of curiosity, KidC, did the fixation on Malachite begin as a way to keep the PC alive by getting on the good side of the most inflexible paladin 'round these parts?

A few notes on KidCthulhu's new character:

- she is, in fact, quite an impressive mentalist.
- she is not, in fact, entirely human.
- the part which is not entirely human is a bad, bad thing.

Well, if we accept that her class is Psion and that her race is closest to Human, then the winner of the Life Pool seems to be Fimmtiu (Psion, Human, Male), with runner-up the Jester (Psion, Gnome, Female). No one else guessed Psion.

Apropos of nothing, my Word document storing the story is now 515 pages long. My goodness, people, I can't believe you're reading all this. Thank you for that.

And my first reaction on hearing that wasn't any sort of pity; it was "ooh, 515 pages, can we get a copy of that?"

No. The fixation on Malachite began as a way to get right up Blackjack's nose. Because he's so much fun to play with and against, I wanted a character with a strong interaction with Malachite. I am sorry to have to hate Mara, because I love Kodiak so!

The person she was lucky to get on the good side of was Velendo, who seemed to take her on as a challenge. Once the living saint gives you the [grudging] thumbs up, you're safe as houses.

No gratitude in today's adventurers, that's what it is. Hmmph.

What with our Warcraft games and our incessant Jedi Mind Tricks - who's the time for gratitude? Sheesh.

I like KC's new character. I don't like her-like her; that'd be wrong.

But I like her.

Brick houses, no less.
