Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@XxFellsingxX Yes, please roll for Kendra's fortellings

@Penny

Got a 10.

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@Penny An Oracle of some note, Nora Barton, has passed away under mysterious circumstances. She kept a detailed journal of all of her visions, but after her death, the journal was reported missing. People are now speculating that she may have been bumped off because of one of her final visions.

Rolled a 9.

Also do you want me to roll for Kendra's Foretellings move?

<Snipped quote by XxFellsingxX>

I wouldn't mind helping Kendra interpret. Vicky's understanding of the world is both child like and aged which sometimes gives her insights. Also I knew the Pythia, which is cool.

@Candykane

Sounds good to me!

At the beginning of every session, announce which character your character trusts the least; their player will spotlight a Faction for your character (that isn’t already marked).

Mark that Faction.

Tell the MC about a rumor or conflict that you’ve heard about that Faction, building on previous established information if you’d like, and roll with the Faction. On a 10+, you’re prepared for the conflict you laid out: you’ve got a Debt on someone in that Faction or a useful piece of information or equipment, your choice. On a 7-9, you’re neck deep in it: you owe someone in that Faction a Debt, and someone in that Faction owes a Debt to you. On a miss, you’re caught flat-footed, unprepared, or unaware: the MC will tell you who is coming at you.

@Penny

It's a toss-up between either January and Qlni because she doesn't know either of them that well (if at all), but I'd say she's more likely to be wary of January.

+ Place of the Arts
Corvus Bay is home to the Grand Flux Centre, an arts center and events venue with many large rooms that be used for art exhibitions, theatre and musical performances, museums, artist studios and workshops, and conventions. It's also very close to and funded by the local art school.

Also, Kendra has one last debt: "Someone helps you understand your dreams and visions. You owe them 2 debts." If no one is interested, I'll just give it Kendra's other roommate, Aliss.

@Guardian Angel Haruki I was just gonna have Gabe tell the party to turn the fuck around and start walking the way they came tbh lol.

@Dark Cloud

Do eeet.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

"Ask now or forever be confused" is definitely a phrase I'm gonna use later xD

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@Guardian Angel Haruki Got one (potentially two) for you!

From Kim's debts:
*Someone thinks they’re protecting you, but it’s really more like you’re protecting them. You owe each other a Debt.

Meanwhile, from Kendra's debts:
You've had a dire prophecy about someone, but you don't know how to help them... yet. You owe them a debt.

I think either one or both of these would make for a fun dynamic between Kendra and Kim, with Kendra having a vision about Kim and, seeing her as a normal person who is likely to get mixed up in supernatural stuff, wants to protect her. But you know, because Kendra's, well, Kendra, she doesn't always do a great job at it, and Kim often has to help her out in turn.

They could also potentially know each other through Trinity. Kim seems like the kind of person Trinity would know at least in a professional sense.

Who are you?
"... bit of a loaded question, but I'll go with it: Kendra Molony, age 24, she/they pronouns. Born in Derry, Northern Island, moved to Newcastle, England when I was four years old. Parents divorced when I was... eleven, I think? Me and my mum weren't getting along so good, so I ended up moving in with my dad. Well, he got remarried to this American woman, who's now my stepmum. We ended up moving to the States, went to middle school, high school, err... dropped out of college due to personal reasons that I will not go into. Currently living with my old college roommate, Trinity, and one of her friends, girl named Aliss. They're cool people. Nowadays work in a coffee shop which, is part of, *cough*, a certain corporate chain. It's hell, but I get discounts so..."

How long have you been in the city?
"Little over a year now. It's no worse than anywhere else I've been, I guess."

How do you cope with the visions?
"Err, I get round the dreams by sleeping as little as possible. Putting those cheap coffees to good use. Eventually, I do have to conk out though, but I limit that to short naps. As for the waking visions, well, there's not much you can do about those save grin and bare it. And take painkillers, lots and lots of painkillers."

What are the nightmares like?
"Awful. Next question."

What do you desperately need?
"In the long term? Probably a few more years of therapy. Right now though, I'll settle for another coffee."

• What secrets or mysteries has this object been privy to?

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

Im picturing a police line with a vampire legionnaire, a dwarf, a literal statue and then Kendra smiling sheepishly.

@Penny

At first I was like "Kendra smiling? Unlikely" but then again, in this particular situation, she might find it a little bit humorous.

Kendra: Wow is this what being a normal person feels like? ... Strange. *sips coffee*

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

One of my family members just came into my room, saw my copy of Curse of Strahd on my desk and misread it as "Cruise of Strahd". Nautical-themed Curse of Strahd campaign, anyone? xD No I'm not actually doing this don't make me
