Shards of Memory: OOC

[Rystil Arden]

Must be having a lucid moment or two, if I made sense.

I guess you must

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rystil, did you ever write up the Ronin class? I was just curious as to how it looked, and considering Diedrik's nature pondered taking him in that wandering warrior direction (like his old man, now that I think of it) if he gets better in contact with his Larakese side.

And since Diedrik has leveled up, what can he potentially do with his Legendary Item? Or would he need to wait until another level before improving it?

 

[Rystil Arden]

Once he builds up more XP, he can impart XP in the heartstone and it will gain powers based on his experiences. The limit rises every even level, though, so for now it can't improve again.

You can find Ronin in unleashed's compilation or here

Hit Dice: d10

Skills: 8+Int modifier, use the Fighter and Rogue skill lists

Bonus Feats: The Ronin may take any fighter bonus feats

Rogue Abilities: All the listed Rogue abilities are equivalent unless
stated otherwise

Intuitive Celerity: The Ronin is able to react to combat with preternatural
speed. She may add her Wisdom bonus to her Initiative rolls.

Indomitable Mind: As Slippery Mind.

Two Strikes-One Cut: Whenever the Ronin makes a single attack instead of a
full attack (perhaps because she already moved this round or it is a surprise
round), she may attack twice instead of once.

Uncanny Feint: The Ronin can make a Feint as a Swift Action.[/SBLOCK]

There's sort of a catch to the Ronin, in that they have to be trained as a Samurai and then either choose the wandering masterless lifestyle or have it forced upon them, possibly by their master's death. We can easily retcon this by saying Diedrik trained with the samurai while on Lara Kai and was invited to join a samurai order but refused, preferring his wandering and having no master. That would make him the perfect proto-Ronin.

I like the sound of that, many thanks.

It will probably be a while yet, but I can envision a turning point in his character that would coincide with taking levels in Ronin.

 

[unleashed]

Well that was helpful... not! You'd think people would have been crossed off against the crew list at least, once they were tossed overboard.

 

[unleashed]

Festy_Dog: Still around and following the thread? As it's just us for the time being, I believe.

 

[Rystil Arden]

So, my plan is to probably fast-forward to that next stop and recruit new players from there, if that works for everyone? Hopefully new blood will help prevent a stall

 

[unleashed]

Sounds good to me.

So does Zaeryn find anything out with this line of questioning or is he going to be left in the dark? Is there anything left of Valyssa whatsoever in their cabin?

There should be a few things still in their room, but what she had on her when she died is gone. As for Allure, well, as she said, she doesn't know what Zaeryn's talking about I suppose if you want to skip around and RP later interactions with her, we can do that in this thread, making a new one for the next part with the new players?

Well, I have no idea what she had on her and what was in their room, so I'll leave that with you to determine.

Yes, probably better to start a new thread when we pick up new players, whether or not we RP out later interactions. As for the later interactions, I suppose that depends on whether there's a chance of getting her to admit anything. If there's not, it's probably not worth the effort, and may even make Zaeryn question being there even more than he already does.

So what's happening with Zaeryn's negative levels and ability damage?
