Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

1. Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

   #1

   Okay. This show is getting back on the road. The original four have received a private message and have first rights for the four available slots in this game.
   
   Slot # 1: Murometz as "Kiph"
   Slot # 2: EchoMirage as "Ceres"
   Slot # 3: valadaar as "Riv"
   Slot # 4: dark_dragon
   
   Get ready for post apocalyptical mayhem!

   Okay. Shadoweagle has dropped off the radar and Dozus has too much going on. Valadaar will join, could my two original characters perchance bring him up to date?
   
   The fourth slot is open, but not required for the game. If anyone wants to join, and has a record as an eager poster (slackers not accepted), it will be his/hers.

   I am not gonna sit up and wait for a fourth player. I prefer small groups - keeps the game flowing.
   
   So after I have attended to the creation of valadaar's character, which I am gonna do in a few minutes, I am gonna post the intro, which will be due by this weekend. The intro is basically a sequence in which your characters take some decisions as to where to go and what to do next.

   Today is the day I hope the game gets flowing.
   
   Thanks to EchoMirage for his post. These things matter to Ceres, I know, and you captured them well. I enjoyed it.
   
   Murometz has mentioned posting today, leaving our newcomer, valadaar, who I am sure will follow lead with a first post about Riv, our new PC.
   
   As for our new participant, whether that be ScorpionJinx or another if she doesn't respond, we will just have to start. I am not gonna sit up late waiting for the last slot to be filled.
   
   So. There we are.
   
   Obey the twice a week rule, and let the fun begin.

   Okay, Kiph, the unconscious Abak Loett and Tiana slept in the back of the truck.
   The rest slept inside the mountain cabin.
   When the game started Ceres was outside, Kiph in the truck and Riv inside. Now you are all inside, seated at the table of the cabin.
   
   
   NOTE:
   You are in the cabin, not in the tent of Abak Loett.
   (you are on rocky, and windy, ground, so the tent was too hard to get stable).

   My apologies. All caught up now. Should I change my post?

   Well, I think we all understood what you meant. ;)
   
   Welcome aboard, Muro!

   I am waiting for a response from Dark Dragon. If I ain't getting any within a short period of time, I just continue posting.
   In the meantime; continue posting guys.

   Consider yourself replied to, AG!  :D
   
   Have PM'd you with details and added the character description. Up to you when I come in. (have given a couple of suggestions)
   
   Dont forget to send me an appropriate skill list and attack modifier.

    I am back. Sorry for the delay!
    
    Thank you dark_dragon, which I shall henceforth call DD for the sake of brevity. ;)
    
    I will post tonight guys, and I will pm DD.

    #13

    Super!

14. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #14

    I just realized one thing... Ceres is almost militantly atheist. Which means that she is bound to hate the preacher who is after Riv the momnet the bastard opens his bigot mouth.

15. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #15

    Woo. 5 Kills or kill equivilent! Riv can already die happy :P

16. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    Will post tonight. Sorry for delay. Busy weekend (and Monday)

17. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    looking forward to it!
    
    By the way, if you want to dodge the corpse coming your way, you should probably say so. Just pm me your actions and I will roll the appropriate dice, then you can post as you please.

18. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #18

    definitely dodging corpse! (and WILL post tonight!)

    Slight confusion between iris and pupil has been fixed. *cough*
    
    Even more spelling errors removed. Damn, I must have been tired!
    
    Also: Some really sweet posts, Muro!
    
    The pit fight is now over and everyone can post as normal.

    Week of driving from Neon to Bleak Wood:
    - No special encounters, save for a nomad caravan. The party bought much fuel from the nomads and payment has been deducted from your sheets (or will be, as soon as I finish writing this ;) )
    - Kiph healed 1 hp naturally + 3 hp from Ceres medical attention. He is now much better and only has a slight limp (his movement is still reduced by 1, making him move at your speed (he is normally much faster than the rest of you))

21. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    Sorry for not posting earlier. Was a bit indisposed.
    
    Riv will tell everything that transpired between him and the hooded guy.  His reponse will depend on Kiph and Ceres, as Riv doesn't even know how to drive a truck...
    
    Riv is not too commited either way - the new armor would be nice, but he won't give his thoughts until he gets a read on Kiph and Ceres.

22. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #22

    I am strongly intent on pursuing the issue with the hooded bad guy.

23. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #23

    Well, I still don't know if Riv went back to accept the job or what.  We seem to be skipping ahead rather quickly I'm afraid.  Who knows, I might have said "Here's your answer, ugly! " Blam Blam Blam...
    
    :)
    
    

24. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #24

    I agree.
    
    If you'd like to talk more about it I could remove my post, and we could RP it while we're on the road. I posted since we arrived at bleakwood and took AG's last line as a hint, but it can be changed!

25. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    Back in time:
    
    Somebody:
    
    "Who the F%%k were you just talking to?"
    
    Riv:
    "Some ugly MF, really paranoid too - a bit of a pansy using a kid to open contact.  Wanted someone took out in Corona.  Steel merchant by the name of Henderson. Offered some armor to take the assignment. I told him I'd have to check with you folks, since it ain't my truck and would take us out of our way some.
    
    Payment up front is nice, and unusual.  So that smells too. But, I figured I'd pass it by you.
    
    So waddya think?  A bit of armor for a little wetworks?  And maybe some fireworks  Told 'em I give him is anwer pretty quick."

    That was a bit confusing. At first I thought that we were speaking with and considering Hooded-Guy's request, next second a week has gone by and we're in Bleakwood.
    
    Ok, reading back on everything now, I guess we're in Bleakwood.

27. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #27

    The leap ahead was quite unexpected. I would have pursued hoodie 100% sure, and laid him... to rest. Dunno what the sudden jump ahead was to mean.

28. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #28

    Obviously I misunderstood your intentions. I changed my last post and returned dark_dragons post by pm.
    
    Now we are back in Neon and you can post.
    
    Sorry. My bad.

29. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    T-36 hours until I assume control of EchoMirage's character, unless he posts within that time.
    
    The show must go on.
    
    (Meaning: It would be fine if you posted, Echo :))

30. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #30

    Okay, the split up was forced by me and can be undone by you. You are the players after all. SO: If Brevil, for instance, wants to be with Riv and Ceres just post as if he was. I will change my previous post to match yours.
    
    Just wanted to skip ahead in time a bit. I presumed more than I am allowed and thus I must stand by for anything you say that goes against that.

    I am worried I have been infringing on the sacred border between GM and player characters.
    
    Also I have been playing computer games and violating my duty to post as a GM.
    
    If my fine, fine players have any regrets, complaints or even praise, now would be a fine time to come with them. I know Echo have had some. I also know that if I fail my duty as a GM my fine players will leave.
    
    From me:
    
    I am keeping a deliberately leisurely pace now, after advice and previous input from EchoMirage. In earlier forum sessions he felt there was too much retroactive gaming and not nearly enough proactive gaming. One of the aims of this chapter is to remedy that.
    
    Hope for feedback!

    Ewww. The teddies made me almost lose SAN.

    Hehehehe. Ooopsie!
    
    Didn't expect that big a fire.  Good thing Ceres is driving, cause Riv is a bit ... distracted...
    

35. Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC

    #35

    I hope he does not do anything that might make Ceres lose SAN.

    Is dark_dragon around? I think we were having a face-to-face chat  :P, but i guess the raging inferno trumps that.

    I've pm'ed him. He read the thread earlier today, but did not post.

    Beware, mortals, those who dare summon me so will deal with my fiery breath!!!!!!!!!!! mhuahahahah!!!!
    
    (aside: sorry, I just couldn't resist!)
    
    Muro...Brevil will not let this rest so easily, and will question the fatebringer again (he will try to be calmer about it next time though!)
