I guess I should have a post up as well. Just been stuck for a bit what to write but I got a good idea now.

februari said It was late evening when an entourage of Alfar...


No time traveling in this game :-P

Srsly, though, Februari, you generally can't time skip ahead like this in an RP post because it prevents the GM and everyone else from responding. If it was late evening I would have posted the moon thingy. Most of the action that has occurred has been highly localized and brief with lots and lots of dialogue and introspection (also most of it is happening concurrently because the players and NPCs are all separate). At best it's late afternoon, though the brothel scene has lagged and there it's more like late morning as the Iron Police went straight to their door after the morning rush. By doing the time/scene shift you also prevented me from having Torbil arrive at the sanctum so that you and Zemmum are aware of both the changeling and Delphi's location. That's why I said above

glibglobb said Once you write this scene I'll have Torbil return to the estate so that you can both learn from him the whereabouts of the fomori and the changeling. That should serve to put most of the PCs on a collision course.


What I recommend is to drop any assumption that an advanced post needs to be a certain length. I'm not part of the James Joyce 'school' of RP. Often a couple paragraphs is enough and if you're needing to time skip then you've definitely written too much.

We can fix this by just eliminating the time leap or reducing it to late afternoon and I'll have Torbil encounter you at the Hole instead, though, I kind of wanted to avoid that because that scene is WAY too crowded.

I completely lost the timing and so none of that post makes any sense at all. Removed.

@februari Just don't delete it. The post was good and I loved the troll character. It was just ahead of its time. You'll probably be able to use it in just a little while.

@Elsa So the fact that they're going to this extreme over a scratched up Jon should be a clue that that Jon was someone of importance. Also remember that elves are highly perceptive when it comes to social cues. The iron helms might shield them somewhat against elven glamers, but you might still be able to piece together what's going on in their heads to a fair degree of accuracy. The effect of the armor on telepathy would basically be like interference or static on a radio channel. You might get some information because the helms aren't solid iron, but it will be garbled.

I write them all off-line, so I have a copy. The various write-ups of the Boggart's Hole are what threw me - I had it visualized as chocked full of drinking patrons which, even in modern cities that "never sleep" is rare mid-morning. I'd have expected people having a light breakfast or something like that. Anyway, no worries.

Yeah that was confusing, sorry. I envision the Hole as being pretty much always busy because lots of faeries do not work. However, when the dwarves and gnomes return tired from a day in the mines and factories it will be a whole nother level of crowded.

I posted as well. (: Hopefully this helps move our scene along a bit. It's a little lengthy for what content it has, but I wanted to be descriptive about what Fallon was doing while listening to the conversation. If anything doesn't seem to fit with how the magic in this particular story works, please do inform me and I will correct it. (:

Short post, but I want to make sure players have ample opportunity to intervene. Just to make sure people are aware of how I GM, I have no fucking clue what's going to happen here. It could be a political disaster, a downright massacre or the conflict might be resolved.

Brothel players should feel free to NPC the other girls if it helps them with their posts.

@Ich I am so sorry! Delphi made poor little Lior cry! *pets the wisp* there there. Love the post though :) he's adorable, Delphi will want to pet him for sure...well maybe.

Or eat him. Or fear him. Whichever. :p Yeah, was very pleased with Delphi's song. Found it to be a great excuse to begin to unravel Lior's past. Plus, it'll also create a nice connection and relationship between the two, since Lior will probably cling onto to her for her ability to help him unlock the secrets in his mind. Well, once he realizes that it is her who caused the memory-song-thing. It'll also be a nice little thing to watch: a fomori and a fae (and a Grey Elf). What could possibly go wrong?

You...don't want to give Needle a wisp.

That would end badly.

Yay Delphi gets a wisp! (She's excited, she wouldn't eat him though, probably be scared of him for a while though).
She'll want a Needle too and if they don't play nice she'll sing at them. Then she can have an 'angel' and a 'devil' on her shoulder :P

As long as she doesn't mind winding up with a few pierced snakes. Needle would get bored after finding out they don't go anywhere when you ride them.

Although that does provide an awful lot of opportunities for terrible innuendo.
