Welcome to My (Flat) World

[Legendary Sidekick]

An artist named Ute Simon was the source of inspiration for the pirate ship. Mine won't look this good, but… um… imagine that from really far away, if not for all the damage done, it would look something like this.

 

[Ireth]

Woo, spiffy. ^^ Shame we have to destroy it, at least partly. Let's hope we can conquer it easily, then get some repairs going for that blasted bow.

 

[Noma Galway]

Can we see each other in the bubbles, or can we see out of the bubbles but not into another?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Good question. Yes, you can see those in other bubbles while inside the bubbles.

 

[Noma Galway]

Okay, thanks.

 

[Noma Galway]

Another question: Can I move the bubbles at all?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

You mean like a gerbil? Oh… wind spell. Yes, but it would need to be a high roll to get very far.

One note on actions:

Your action ends when you roll the die or pop the bubble. If someone else pops your bubble, you get to perform an action. That can be a stealth roll, attack roll, or an action that doesn't require a die roll. There's no official limit on conversation, but you're only sound-proof to the enemy while inside the bubble.

 

[Ireth]

Thank you for that hilarious mental image. XDDD

 

[Noma Galway]

What if two bubbles were to bump into each other?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Ever play croquet? I was actually thinking of that. Not one coming to a dead stop while the other ends up in the neighbor's yard, but having a bounce and even taking relative bubble size into consideration. Just note that you need to roll 16+ for the bubble's movement to be anything impressive. (Or charge, then roll 10+.)

I updated the GM post to display health. Names in red indicate that a 20 was rolled in the current battle, which triggers an adrenaline surge. When Fenella gets a new amazon skill that requires war paint, her name will be in dark red if she triggers the war paint effect. (I'll explain how that works when she learns the skill.)

So they won't break. Got it.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Also worth noting, if Fenella were to pop your bubble, you'd be able to move the other two. Mariya's size and control over sound make her super-stealthy. Amazons aren't very stealthy, but a good die roll might allow her to hide behind stacks of barrels unnoticed.

 

[Ruby]

Hi there? What's going on with Fenella then?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

She's inside a bubble. She can talk, pop the bubble, or...

Honestly, I'm curious about where this thing will go. I was going to have the bubbles just pop, figuring some players might roll for stealth or you'd just attack. But as long as you guys are trying to gain an extra advantage with the bubbles, I'll let it happen.

One hint, since you guys are thinking outside the box: the wind spell isn't the only means of moving the bubbles. Oh... And since the muse sings to cast, she needs to be in the bubble to use magic without breaking silence.

 

[Noma Galway]

So I can sing and move the bubbles far enough to be right next to the frog- and toadman? Can we pop two bubbles in one go? Or can we push the bubbles once someone is out?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

You're welcome to try. It takes a high roll to move a person far, but maybe the bubbles move more easily since they hover on their own.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Two more adrenaline surges this round! I think I need to come up with some nice effects if you roll 20 while your name is already in red.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

The GM turn is tomorrow, but I'll need actions from female characters unless Fenella and Diana plan to wait for enemies to step closer. As for Mariya, whether she waits or not, enemies are now aware of Fenella's presence. No harm in shooting them.

 

[Ireth]

Diana's going to wait until any enemies move closer. She might move in front of Vincent to shield him, but I doubt that requires a roll if I don't use her special Pure Protection move.
