Welcome to My (Flat) World

[Reaver]

Yesterday was hectic and I couldn't post... So f**k it Dude, I'm gonna roll.

((First roll was 13 and taken so a re-roll is in order.))

An egg that matches the rug that was stolen from me.

 

[SeverinR]

Shan mai:


I guess I'll take 16*(Mauve)
*Would have taken Ankari first, then Aliron second, but they have already been picked. So if repeats are an option I will pick Ankari.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I was thinking each egg can only come up once, so good call on the re-roll. So Noma, if you roll an egg that's already found, please reroll. If you roll 20, do as Severin did and choose an egg not yet claimed. It's more interesting if everyone gets a different ability.

 

[Reaver]

That rug really tied the room together.

 

[Noma Galway]

Had to roll four times to get a roll not taken. But it seems ironic that Mariya got the largest egg

• Algernon - a duck egg with pink hearts on it Reaver
• Aliron - an egg that resembles the moon Fenella
• Ankari - an egg that is very hard to find, and is nowhere near any of the other eggs Jeisera
• Baldhart - an egg with blue swirls of paint on it; larger than all of the other eggs Mariya
• Hiljikki - an egg painted by berry stains Riff
• Keitsumah - an egg with a purple glow Vincent
• Liadan - an egg that shines like gems, emerald and topaz Diana
• Mauve - an egg that looks mauve due to the dark aura surrounding it Shan Mai

Here are your bonus skills:

Reaver gets "Algernon's U-Turning Tide of Battle." When die rolls favor the enemy too much, Reaver will more than make up for it when he finally gets a good roll. The more consecutive bad rolls the better! (Named for Algernon making a sudden 180˚ turn in a canoe.)

Fenella gets "Aliron's Moonbeam Cut." Fenella's attacks inflict extra damage if she stabs an enemy in the back. (Named for Aliron's back-stabbing skill.)

Jeisera gets "Ankari's Lone Ranger Mask." Jeisera may suddenly disappear from the party, but her arrows will find their way to the enemy. (Named for Ankair's tendency to travel alone.)

Mariya gets "Baldhart's Barbarian Blood-Bathwater." Mariya learns an opera song [spell song] about a woman bathing in demon-infested waters. (Named for Baldy's most embarrassing moment of peril.)

Riff gets "Hiljikki's Insane Berry Bush." Riff's tangle spell will spout Bloodberries [healing berries]. (Named for two druid skills, though Hiljikki was only known for Goodberries.)

Vincent gets "Keitsumah's Purple Aura." Vincent can give psychic suggestions to sidekicks. (Named for Keit's glowing purple necklace which she uses to communicate with her wolf, like Sofia the First.)

Diana gets "Liadan's Sacrificial Gemstones." Diana can heal with her touch, and her blade may also have some divine influence. (Named for Liadan who recently changed religions, though the word 'sacrifice' has a different context regarding Diana.)

Shan Mai gets "Mauve's Ninja-Wizardry." Shan Mai's wakizashi has a strange darkness surrounding it. Shan Mai isn't sure what it means, but it seems his new blade has some sort of magical property. (Named for the wizard Mauve who fights with a blade and performs many feats of dexterity, both with and without magic items.)

It's the egg that was meant to give its finder pure brute strength. Enjoy your new spell song. You need to use a note and sing the barbarian blood-bathwater song. What happens after that… you need to sing the song to find out.

I'll be going offline until Monday at the earliest for family reunion.

 

[Ruby]

Hi, I'm not going to be online much, if at all, until next Wednesday.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Thank you both for letting me know. Vacation's been keeping me away from my episode two final map, so there might not be any action until Monday or Wednesday.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Sorry about the slow-down. School vacations seem to give me less free time instead of more. The map I'm putting together should prove easily scrollable, so once it's ready battle should move quickly. That said, May is going to be a crazy month at work, and June… a little less crazy, but I still need to put a final exam together. (Ideally, that will be done by end of May.)

EDIT - For those who don't know, I started teaching at a new school in January, and there was no solid curriculum and no test materials at all… so I'm handling all that as I teach.

You may have guessed that escape is impossible.* You can suggest it--the way you came in is in the background on the right. Just don't assume you manage to leave before, for example, flames spread down the hall leading to the only exit not already blocked off by flames.

In the building's current state, it doesn't appear that fire could possibly spread there. You aren't idiotically rushing into the place seconds before it combusts.




*(Otherwise I made a map with a pretty reflective floor for nothing... not that copy-pasting a photo took any real effort. It was cutting the table, chairs, and pillar into the foreground that took effort. I even remembered to use the pillar's reflection as foreground so when you're behind the pillar your reflection won't poke out the bottom.)

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

The rest of the map (the part you can't see yet) is ready, as is the boss battle. I'd like to push the next turn tomorrow.

So, does that mean Reaver's last post is null and void, then?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Technically, escape is impossible. But if he wants to remove his character from the game, I'll respect that.

 

[Ireth]

I hope he only means to remove himself from this fight, not from the whole game. :/

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

If Reaver or anyone else wants to take a break from the game, then come back later, I'm fine with that. Bowing out of the game doesn't burn bridges with me either. I want it to be a light and fun experience, not a commitment you feel forced to participate in.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I'll try to push the game tonight or tomorrow, depending on work. I'm off to a conference for three days, so I might just prepare my entire week today (after next class) so at noon tomorrow, I can relax during all my paid hours!

I hope you guys roll better during the boss battle. I rolled ten or so consecutive rolls in the 16-19 range, including all of the sidekicks last turn. I wish I could give my good luck to a player, giving him strong attacks for 10+ turns in a row.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Muziko's rolls for one spell: 1…3…3…

I was wondering if that would ever happen. 10% chance the enemies all get magic shields; otherwise, players get them. (5% chance I roll another 3 and poor Muziko can't stop singing.)

 

[Ireth]

Let's hope Muziko's next spell roll is at least a 4!

Also, does Mariya know the Song of Sacrifice? We're better off if Vincent doesn't have to lose HP in order to top off those who need it.
