Deathtrap Dungeon; Freedom is Slavery! (OOC; Closed)

Schaeffer is taken? ACK!

Extra big and glowey eyes. Neth is totally Schaefer.

But Neth does not need a seat of power!

[Chairtastic]

And Glup does?   Personally, he strikes me as a Lothar...maybe a Morth.

Hmm, you might be onto something... he doesn't have a chicken fetish either.

You don't know that.

[Chairtastic]

Actually we do.    Thank you, Tech for teaching me how to do that screenshot thing.

Just a pencil doodle for what i promised Tipod yesterday - Kittrick meeting Mnogo.
I hope neither of you will take offense at my portrayal of your characters. 

Ugh! that thing is made of dirt!

Alright everyone, after making a backstory that didn't fit the RP at all, waiting to see how the RP would turn out, and some procrastination, I've whipped one up and gotten GM approval for a real backstory. I've updated Zyrais's bio and the original post can be found here. Heck, since this is a "dark" RP, the rap sheet didn't even fit...

The idea has only been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I may probably will extrapolate further with a brief lesson on angel culture written by Zyrais. (AFTER GM approval.)

EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

Calling forth enough of his magical powers that anyone with the slightest bit of talent could sense, Zyrais spread his wings as he knelt to the ground with both palms toughing the floor, calling forth Barrier of Light, a series of walls made of flame-like light that sprang up between the most openly aggressive groups. Straining not from the drain on his magic, but from the amount that his coat was limiting him to, the flames quickly died out but they had served their purpose in getting everyone in the room to spontaneously shut up.

Just reminding everyone that the barrier didn't actually have any "staying power" and dissipated before he even began speaking. Nobody is currently trapped, nor does Zyrais have the power to trap everyone "en masse". He might be able to do so with a small group at best, but that would be up to the GM.

[VAE]

Glup? Subtlety? What was Zyrais high on?

[Drayco84]

That reminds me, Mechanisto... The players are going to survive long enough to get hired, aren't they? Or is this one of those "You live, you're hired." scenarios?

[VAE]

Considering Nadhiya has ressurect spells and there is an altar of evilness somewhere there, it is not such a big problem ... although dying often would be frowned upon as wasteful of resources

[Drayco84]

Yeah, but it looks bad when one dies right before a job interview...

[WhiteFox]

One thing I'll say about Mech... he doesn't kill players lightly. At all, ever.

I very much doubt that simply surviving will get a character hired, however.

........................................
I'm so very afraid to ask for more details on that...

[WhiteFox]

In response to Post #232:
To the GM: I'd like to take 3-4 hours of down time to set up a simple lab, and do some investigation, research, and testing in general. The minions will probably be doing some runaround, and the Codex that carter brought will probably come in handy.

Also: was that banished hyena infected?

I'm so very afraid to ask for more details on that...

I mean it at face value. Mech isn't the sort of GM that likes to torture PCs.

He's more of a "may you live in interesting times" sorta GM. Things tend to get... interesting. He can't toy with you if you're dead.

On another note, I suspect our guards are a tad more capable then we think we are. They may not be able to prevent trouble, but they sure can stop it.

You may indeed. I shall make mention of it in IC, and will assume that if you don't post for a bit, Nethalzar is merely doing labwork.

As far as the Hyena goes, you have no way of knowing. You never analyzed him before, and hes' certainly gone now.

That was one of the reasons I wanted to state very clearly that Nadhiya knows how to revive the dead. I don't want people to be so afraid of dying that they never take any risks that might get them killed.

Also, I'd just like to point out that Nethalzar's death was a pre-existing condition. That exonerates me from accusations of GM abuse.

Okay, but assuming he was infected, are there any undead in the portal room and how long until they start showing symptoms?

I'd also ask if the disease can jump to living hosts, but I not only get the feeling that you won't reveal that until it already has, but that everyone will find out IC all-too-quickly.

I call shen-I mean, abuse of an undead corpse! Abuse of an undead corpse!

   Just letting it be known; I'll have a post up tomorrow morning. Right now, I'm hoping to give Liatai a chance to respond before putting it up.
   Jes' sayin' so the plot doesn't move on without me

[Liatai]

And I'm waiting on a reply from Mech about a question I had before I post.

Mechanisto! I'm sorry to bother you in the OOC thread, but could you please answer my PM? I don't want to post without an answer, but I will (and then correct it later) if I have to. Thanks.

[Lisky]

Figure now would be a good time to say it... i'll be disappearing for the next 2 weeks, starting this upcoming friday.

First i have a cousin's wedding in KittyHawk to attend, and then staying a few days at the beach with the fam.  After that, i rush home, do laundry, do some last minute running around, and head off to AnthroCon... soo ya.. i'll have a laptop with me, and, as long as i've got an internet connection, i'll check in from time to time... but for the most part, i'll be disappearing... Hope to get posts done in everything that is owed first, but if not, i'll do my best in the evenings.

Hmm, I think I can help with that... *does secret voodoo and attempts communing with a powerful spirit*

*Barges into the room with a fully loaded and primed RapidFire 20, and unleashes a barrage of Nerf darts at Mech's head.*

[techmaster-glitch]

Dangit, mechanisto! You weren't supposed to post in the thread, you were supposed to answer Liatai's PM so she could post, so I could post! I had something planed! That's why I said earlier "I'll post in the morning, don't move the plot ahead without me"

[Liatai]

I think your secret voodoo worked too well.

That said, he did answer my question, so I'm working on my post right now.

[Mechanisto]

I'm very sorry to have inconvenienced people with something as inconsequential as the main plot. truly



Heh. Erm... ahem.

In all seriousness, Litai: I suspect this post will not interfere with Kittrick's intended post. If it does, PM me up and we'll work something out.

[Mechanisto]

Hokay... this is starting to creep me out a little.

[WhiteFox]

My goodness. Do you see how sorry he is in that screen capture? You made the GM cry. You monster.

[Drayco84]

How 'bout now?



But yeesh, mention "Nerf" and "darts" in the same sentence and the plot moves along... WhiteFox, is Mech your personal psychology experiment or something?

EDIT: I'll post something tomorrow. Hopefully my mind will have time to think about this turn of events and will have a plan thought up. Plus, it reduces the odds of random grammatical errors and (hopefully) won't read like somebody posted when they were drunk...

[WhiteFox]

WhiteFox, is Mech your personal psychology experiment or something?

Yea- no. Maybe. I dunno, it's kinda hard to tell at this stage.

Glup began following Nadhiya, Nethalzar and the rest...

FYI: Neth isn't with Nadihya right now. He's in a room somewhere setting up a chop shop.

I mean... a laboratory. Yeah.
