All Activity

Fen stares back at her brothers, looking just as flabbergasted as they seemed to feel after reading her notes. She doesn't react to their speaking for too long, simply staring, and starting to shake again. Finally, she looks down, grabbing the pencil and a large piece of paper. The silence stretches as she scribbles something in large letters. Throwing down the pencil, Fen holds up the paper in shaking hands, hiding her face. I killed you. I killed all of you for eight years. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

I hope everyone is doing well. Just waiting for some looting action from some of you. On another note, my free time will have dwindling returns as we get into the third week of May until about June 10.

A few weeks passed at Haven Academy, and the training missions didn't seem to be slowing down. If anything, they were becoming more common, to the point that Wulf, somewhat grumblingly, had to give up on sending out utterly overwhelming force any time she deployed students. I mean, don't get me wrong. It wasn't like anyone had been facing anything they couldn't handle. But it was changing to the point that even when you were taking your picks from the Mission Boards, you were getting actual fights. Well..."you" collectively as in the students of Haven. I'm not saying you guys personally actually faced anything over the past few weeks that would warrant rolling dice over, or anything. Investigation DC 20 or Expertise (Current Events) DC 25, Eidetic Memory applies You've been paying attention to the Mission Boards and while activity is still high it hasn't actually been growing. It's seeming to you like it's taking longer for Hunters to finish missions, or they're resting longer between them, or...something. In other words, the backlog is because some missions are staying on the board for longer than they usually would, rather than because new missions are coming in faster than they had been. Two degree success It seems to mostly be Seek and Destroy missions that are sticking around for longer. Anyway. Today you guys were being assigned missions again. I promise classes do actually happen in this school and you are in fact in classes more than on missions, it's just that they're not generally actually worth playing out on-screen. And these particular missions are actually on two different days but whatever, close enough. Team FLNS So hey, wild coincidence, remember that town you guys had airboated to that time? (I don't think I had ever actually named it back then, but it's called Leensvard). You were actually heading pretty near there! A hunter (lowercase h) had seen a couple Devil Grimm in the woods about a couple hours outside of town, and they had called in some Hunters (capital h) to deal with them; they weren't what would be considered dangerously close to the town for normal Grimm, but given the threat level of Devils, better safe than sorry. (Yeah Devil Grimm were more widely known these days, after the attack on Vale. Partially because you know people had seen video of the weird red Grimm and such, partially because in the aftermath of Vale "preventing a panic" wasn't really a practically achievable goal, and partially because thanks to you guys it was confirmed that Apex Idiom was up to his old tricks which meant Devil Grimm might start becoming more common.) The report indicated the hunter had only actually seen a couple of them, but couldn't positively confirm there weren't more on account of having taken one look at red Grimm and gotten the heck out of there. This was the main reason your team had been assigned to the mission. Your objective was to scout the area, locate the Devil Grimm, ascertain their number and type, and if you felt confident you could destroy them, do it, otherwise report back so a sufficient force could be fielded. Helpfully, Pyrrha had landed on a mission with SMIL today, so Sorena was free to assist. Huh Sorena had been there last time too. Double coincidence I guess. "I figure that'll up the odds you'll be able to just take them out outright," Wulf said. Nicoale The tone of voice she said it in, and the look she gave you when she said it, if you had certain context, might have conveyed that her true thoughts were probably more along the lines of, Knowing you lot you'll end up fighting them regardless of how many there actually turn out to be, so I may as well just accept that and send a newbie Maiden with you in case there happen to be a lot. So the five of you were down at the airdock to get an airship to take you. This was pretty routine although this time you were directed to a different...terminal? Sure I guess they're still terminals. To a different terminal than you were usually sent to. Slightly unusual but not unprecedented. Chapi or Insight DC 15 You notice that some of the staff in this terminal seem to recognize Chapi in particular. Like, plenty of people around the city recognize you guys in general, at this point, but she gets some like nods and smiles and such that seem more personally familiar rather than the general maybe-not-so-minor celebrity that all of you have received since the horde of dino-Grimm. Team RACL Your mission had been assigned on a somewhat-emergency basis. A raiding party of bandits - identified as members of the Garud Tribe, one of the three biggest bandit tribes in the kingdom - had been sighted heading for a logging town called Berdsrun, and no Huntsmen or Huntresses were in the area. It wasn't the entire tribe or anything, but the Garud tribe was big enough that even just one of their raiding parties could be a serious threat to a town that size, a dangerous opposition to a typical team of students, and...plausibly a halfway-decent challenge for Team RACL? It's a rough curve but it's the one we grade on here. Of course the day's Team Randomizer had landed Pyrrha with you, so that was pretty sad for them, but hey they're the ones who decided to be bandits so they deserve what they get am I right? This wasn't to say the town was totally safe and everything was going to be fine. Even taking the fastest airship available, it was a flight of several hours to Berdsrun. The bandits were in much slower vehicles - hauling wagons that could carry a lot of goods and could handle the rough roads that were about the best infrastructure got out away from the cities - but they were approaching from a much shorter distance. It was impossible to say whether you'd arrive first. But you'd find out shortly. The pilot reported ETA to destination was five minutes. Robin Your Semblance has been acting weird. Not weird like glitchy, like it had been with the vampires, but...weird. It's doing things it doesn't usually do. Normally it Warned you of danger. But three days ago it gave you a Warning that the latest Ninjas of Love volume had {arrived at the local comic store or been posted on-line as applicable, I've never quite been clear if Ninjas of Love is a comic or a fanfiction}. Yesterday it had Warned you that the cafeteria was going to be out of chocolate chip cookies. And as you drew closer to this town, it wasn't giving you any Warning about how dangerous these bandits might have been to you. Instead, for the first time in your life, it was giving you a Warning about somebody else. To be specific, it was Warning you that Rhys was going to be faced with an important choice. One option would cost him an opportunity that might be hard to get again. A second option would place him in substantial personal, but not mortal, danger. And a third option would place the village you were flying to defend in peril. Semblance Perception DC 30, cannot be Routined ...Oh wait actually sorry here's the Warning about the personal danger level. It's higher than you'd expect but not excessive. Definitely gonna be more to this than just a raising party of bandits, though. DC 35 You get a vision of people all in black plate armor, wielding enormous flaming greatswords, and marching under a black flag emblazoned with a red moon trailing what look like drops of blood rather than the moon's normal shards. DC 40 By hitting this DC you predict that there will be four Knights of the Bloody Moon among the enemy force (if you hadn't hit the DC/didn't hit it but are reading this anyway, this is the base number which I may choose to increase depending on certain circumstances).

Choose one of your kinetic elements to affect. This impulse has a range of 30 feet, and the Bulk of the target must be negligible or light. The GM decides what Bulk the element is. You can't affect an element that's magical, secured in place (like a stone mortared in a wall), or attended by a creature unwilling to let you. Choose one of the following options, though the GM might allow you to make similar small alterations. Base Kinesis can't deal damage or cause conditions unless otherwise noted. • Generate You bring an ordinary, non-magical piece of the chosen element from its elemental plane. The element can be used for any of its normal uses. For example, air can be breathed by an air-breathing creature, and fire casts light and can ignite flammable substances. • Move Move an existing piece of the element up to 20 feet in any direction. If you bring it into your space, you can catch it in an open hand. You can Sustain the impulse to keep moving the element. • Suppress You destroy an existing piece of element, such as snuffing out a flame or evaporating water from a cup. This affects only natural forms of the element, not durable, crafted goods like a stone statue, metal lock, or wooden door.

Add your Strength modifier to the damage roll for a melee Elemental Blast. If you make a 2-action Elemental Blast, you gain a status bonus to the damage roll equal to your Constitution modifier. The element determines the damage die, damage type, and range (for a ranged blast).

The Setting Location: Media Room A - NERV London Time and Date: 10:04, Thursday, 24th September 2023. Media Room A Ms. Rebecca Jordan Reporter for CNN Serena's PR nemesis Emiko's question is answered by Oliver, who is standing near the end of the room. "Some questions will be open to all of you, some will be for specific people. It will be clear when the person asks, and if it isn't, you can always ask them to clarify." Paul nods along with his team member, making it clear the young man is right. "The topics," Paul says in responder to Mikhail's question, "will vary a little as we have a wider spread of reporters today than normal." He takes a moment to point out a few pictures on the mirrors, with names under them, a list of some of the reporters. "Some of the lifestyle magazines will be asking about you as people, likely work and life balance, perhaps trying to get gossip or some wishy washy answers from you that they can extrapolate from." He pauses for a moment. "Others will be wanting to talk about the past conflict, the issues and successes. Sadly, normally dramatic headlines catch readers more, meaning some will focus on the issues. Just don't get riled up." He pulls his phone out briefly as it begins to buzz, before returning it to his pocket. "A few might try and ask about the internals of NERV, future plans, but they know that is out of scope for the pilots...But won't stop them from asking and trying to hide the question in someway. I will shut those down or direct them to Serena when I spot them, but keep on your toes." When it is announced that Zelda is the team lead Paul looks a little surprised, though not in anyway rude, simply wasn't expecting it. "Alright..." He says the words and then takes a moment to think, the playing field may have changed. As Paul thinks Oliver glances to Zelda in the mirror and gives a thumbs up, "congratulations cap." "Okay, was she acting captain during the recent encounter, or was the appointment after? I will introduce her accordingly, and it will spin how questions are asked and directed I think." He takes a moment to make eye contact with Zelda, "along with where the press think they can funnel blame." He glances back at Serena, "I am expecting mostly support for the pilots, but with you being new they will question you also, and they might try to gleam information they shouldn't get from you as well." He points towards one of the photos on the wall, "as you know Ms Jordan will also be present, though I have spoken to her." He gives Serena a faint smile and nod, "she will likely throw a spanner in the works. But it is better for us to keep and eye on her and see what is going on, from the questions she asks me and the team can figure out what story she is working on and tackle that head on." Paul Nosworthy Head of PR OOC In terms of mechanics I will go into more detail as we get into the press conference. But will give some overview now for people to ask questions IC and OOC. This press conference is directly related to the 'Going Public' mission on roll20, meaning you will get the following rewards once completed. - 10 trust for NERV. - 80 XP - Depending on how the event goes, you can get bonuses such as extra; trust, XP, surplus and/or research. The 'success' of the press conference is determined by what you say and do, as it will impact the people who see the press conference, or read the newspapers when they are published etc. The three main groups that will be impacted are listed below, along with what they 'want' and what the rewards can be gained for pleasing them. - The general public; - Wants; feel safe, truth, bright future. - Rewards: XP. - The media; - Wants; catchy headlines, subtle leads, private info. - Rewards; XP, surplus. - The UN; - Wants; signs of strength, NERV support, "everything is fine" - Rewards; Surplus, research There will be a score you see for each of the three as we go through the press conference, the higher the score the better. You will see how it changes and questions come and go.

POST IN PROGRESS If it didn't hurt so much, Armenga would roll her eyes at getting eviscerated by yet another monster. This was becoming a habit, and certainly not one good for her health. She takes another swing, but against can't connect, then casts one of her few spells to pound the statue with rocks. Although it does no take the full brunt of the spell, managing to dodge some of the rocks, though that do hit make a definite impact, with tiny parts of its shoulder crumbling off. "Nice spell, even with the silly words. Now while it's distracted, pour it on, hit and run." The best way to take advantage of a slowed foe? Make it keep coming to you. Zyrel repeats his spell again, his rain of rocks joining Armenga's as he fires yet another arrow. Having had some practice, the statue moves impossibly fast, dodging out of the way of the falling rocks Zyrel calls down. It bats the arrow away with its shield. " Take this again! And this for you ouchies." Wugo narrows his eyes in concentration to maintain his spell. Then magically sends a mace again at the foe. Quickly following with a wash of healing energy for his ally (Armenga) next to him. He would very much like to Hit and Run. But would feel shame shame to leave a wounded friend alone against this giant sword swinging giant construct The statue dodges the mace. Armenga feels her wounds close up and immediately feels better as Wugo sends healing energy her way. Turning the corner it was clear that she'd stepped into a conflict that needed resolving and she spoke to all of them immediately. "Well met to you all and let my words aid your efforts..." and broke into a chanting, upbeat cadence, her clear voice filling the air, echoing around them all. She grinned as she took in the situation before her, life was always interesting. Kiki didn't know any of the group well but had seen a few of them around a number of times and at least one or two of them at some of her performances of course. * Nothing like getting to jump right in... * Her bow was gripped firmly in her left hand and with her right she began to form symbols in the air, small traces of energy that hummed along with her voice. Within a few moments a small flying fey appeared in the air above the statue, quite out of reach but close by. "Shoot the statue!" She called out, her brief supporting chant having been completed. The flying fey shows up and shoots fairly well, but the statue is incredibly defensively, managing to block and evade the attacks. Vulnerable to mind-effecting spells for some reason. If I disarm it, is it intelligent enough to pick its weapons back up? Joseph inscribes magical runes into the air. A large phantom raven appears, hovering before the arcanist. With a final gesture, he thrusts his hand towards the construct and shouts "DISARM!" The magical raven image animates and swoops down on the pottery, but passes harmlessly through it... "Well, that didn't work... Eh? And who are you?" Mischief wings over to the newcomer, gravely worried that she might erroneously think that the dumb fey that just appeared are prettier than he is. The statue appears to resist the command. Firea didn't look in the best of shape but she continued to lay on the magic. "...lets see how you like this." One of Firea's tails whips about and snaps out towards the Terracotta sending an arc of blue fire from her tail towards it. Then promptly uses more of her innate magic by throwing Daze at the Terracotta, the move making all her tails shimmer. "Ooo...I like it when you do that!" Auriflamma sounds happy to see Firea using her innate abilities. Firea rolled her eyes at Auriflamma. "Just, keep firebolting him." Firea does not manage to get through the defences, but Auriflamma firebolts the creature in the chest. Goss, the anadi further away from the statue, flings three bolts of force towards it, while the other anadi begins giving advice on weak points to focus on, to disrupt the energy of the statue. The statue focuses on Armenga, raising its shield and attacking her twice with its longsword.

I’d be happy to put Vorticar forward as a candidate for squad leadership. If we do decide on him, how does Oath of Glory sound to people?

Rowena retrieves another large limb and attempts to fashion another, better lever-fulcrum setup with it, some large rocks, and hopefully the others lifting and helping. This time it seems to work a little better for her and the others lifting.

Pretty sure you can still take Secret ID or Public ID as a Social Complication.

Her life had flashed before her eyes yet again, and with it her death. How many times was she to be spared? She who had abandoned everything that she was supposed to stand for? Death had come for her a second time, but the healing magic of her companions had saved her. Sorena turned to Thura, she was pretty sure it was Thura who had worked the healing magic, and bowed her head. "You saved me." She said bluntly, and then awkwardly left the words hanging. Thura just shrugs at Sorena and says "You have been helpful to us, so I shall be helpful to you." "...now, why was that statue attacking us..." she frowns. Was that one of the Magaambya's defenses run amok, or something else? But, with no answer for that, she turns her attention to aiding any others who are wounded. Sweet Tooth put her blade away and approached the fallen statue. She looks over her shoulder at the spider trio. "Well done friends, those magic missiles turned the tide!" Then she stooped down over the broken remains of the statue and tried to see if there was any clues as to why it might have attacked. Banana gets up from where the statue knocked him to the ground, shaking out his mane. "I suppose I should learn a few spells that don't require aiming. That statue was exceptionally stubborn. And I agree. Why would a statue on Magaambaya grounds be hostile towards its students? It doesn't make sense." He goes over to take a closer look at the statue. His expertise is wood, but he might be able to glean something from what he can see and sense as to the nature of this rogue construct. Both Sweet Tooth and Banana sees and scent lingering traces of a magic dissipating... it seems that the statue was imbued with arcane energy within the past day. Sweet Tooth vaguely has the notion that guardian may have been animated long ago, and the recent burst of energy merely reactivated it. Banana notes that Terra-cotta warriors typically guard the tombs of ancient rulers, where they stand vigil, animating only when intruders break in to pilfer riches or defile the tomb itself. Each warrior is meticulously crafted from clay and given unique features. At its creation, a terra-cotta warrior can be engraved with runes, applying these runes to the weapons it wields. Such runes can’t be removed and engraved on items. The soldier here has only a +1 weapon potency rune and a striking rune, but more powerful versions with more powerful potency and property runes have been known to exist. A single terra-cotta warrior stands 6 feet tall. "Even for a school of magic, a golem seems wasted guarding a mere storeroom." Omalara remarked."Yet, since it ignored the anadi, that is clearly what it was doing. It doesn't take a sage to reason there's a connection with whatever is calling them." The anadi nod. "Once more, you have around to help. We very much appreciate that you were nearby to save us. Trouble seems to be following us... first the griffons, and now the statue!" Goss looks troubled, but gestures expansively, then bows slightly in gratitude. Sorena's armor fell to pieces about her as Thura drew close, allowing the Iruxi to tend to her wounds. Unlike the slagged Signifer helm, the rest of her mail was not melted into her flesh. She was a large woman, dressed in a threadbare arming jacket, which now had two large tears around her collarbone where the statue's sword had cut deep into the muscles in her pecks and shoulder. It had cut deep into bone as well, but her magic had mended that. It hadn't mended the jacket, and she'd need to have that seen too. "Lets see what it was guarding." She said once Thura was done, her armor reforging itself instantly with a searing scream. OOC Door is boarded closed from the inside. The door requires a successful DC 17 Athletics check to Force Open, or the heroes can pry open the wood piece by piece given about an hour of work. Once opened A2 Dust and cobwebs coat empty shelves and cabinets. The hard dirt floor is stained with paint and the powder of long-inert reagents.

"Is that the best you can do? You're twice our size and are half as strong. Put your backs into it." The matron urges you. She looks askance at Lucky and Sol. "Well at least you are helping." You can make another attempt.

Apologies if any of these questions has been addressed. Can we use core traits or only spheres? What about feats? Elephant in the Room feat tax rules?

"Thank you for those kind words, Father." He turned to the gathered crowd. "Kai and I just want everyone to know that we will work hard to earn our place here. I know those are hollow words from people in our position. We humbly ask that we be given a change to prove ourselves. Hopefully we will find that we have a new home and new friends and comrades.

Alright, I know that we don't. have a post from bubs yet, but in the interest of keeping things moving I think that I will roll for him and try to get a post up tomorrow, time allowing.
