If No's chair already creaks beneath him I'm wondering what is going to happen to the ones Ker is sitting on in the continuation of the scene lol xD

@Ayemdar Sorry. Took me a while to write the post.

"I think this is bugged."
"Make a GM ticket."
"Which GM ? The OOC GM that created this game or the IC GM ?"
"Isn't the latter one played by the first one ?"
"I'm confused."
"I'm rubberbanded!"
"I'M STUCK BETWEEN THESE TO F****** ROCKS!"
"BECAUSE YOU NEVER WALK, YOU ALWAYS JUMP LIKE COMMANDER KEEN WITH HIS POGO STICK IN THE WEIRD BELIEF THAT THIS MAKES YOU FASTER!"
"IT DOES!!!"

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

The DM hates us ? Shit... An Asshat is currently alone in the forest :O I get to roll a new character...

Dungeon Fantasy [A Comedy Rp!]

Name: Kerylun
Level: 1
Race: Gargoyle
Class: Archer
Date/Time: Day 1 / Morning
Location: The Meeting Spot in the main lounge of the Greased Oak
Tagging: Open Mentioned: @Holy Soldier (No), @Cyrania (Gwendolyn), @Ayemdar (Raven)

Damn appointments... He hated appointments! At least it was in the morning, the time the Greased Oak would be rather empty. At least that was what people said. The gargoyle had not yet experienced this himself due to a significant lack of coins to spend for the delicious meat they offered. Again, that was what people said.

In the cold morning air, Kerylun discharged a cloud of condensed water every few seconds. The rather loud breathing noise was telling a story about how much air he needed just for maintaining his usual, slow pace that gave most people ample opportunities to pass him or cross his way. It raised the question why he was walking when he had wings to fly with. It would certainly have been faster and saved his naked feet from unrecognized and direct contact with a tiny bit of disgusting dirt here and there, but what would people say when he would circle above their heads until they finally made enough room for a proper landing ? Not that he cared that much about the welfare of humans, but he cared about the welfare of his nerves!

Finally, Kerylun had reached his destination and squeezed through the doorframe. Another gasp, but this one broke with the rhythm. Was that smoke ? Sure, there were candles all over the place, but this smelled different. Yet the creature had arrived too late to observe the cause for it. He looked around, his ember eyes scanning the room. Three persons were sitting or standing around the table in question: A half-elf, a quite large human-looking male and another elf that seemed to be busy taking care of him. The gargoyle reached for two chairs, turned each of them around so that their backs faced the table and slowly sat down with straddled legs and his tail not being blocked by a backrest. He really wasn't sure if and how long the furniture would support his weight. "Good morning. How are you doing ?" His words were more adressed towards the elves than to No, who seemed rather busy dealing with whatever had happened to him. Maybe this guy would continue doing just that... it would be a nice thing.

Kerylun

Character Name: Kerylun
Alias: Lucy - that's short for Lucifer, because of his appearance.
Age: 36
Race: Gargoyle
Height: 9'4 ( 2,84m )
Weight: 928 lbs ( 421kg )
Hair Color: Matt white. In contrast to humans, it is not a sign for old age, but a natural phenomenon. His hairstyle is a badly organized mess: As long as it stays out of his eyesight, everything's okay for him. Helping with this is the fact that his hairs are long, easily covering his shoulders, thick and sturdy. He also has a short goatee.
Eye Color: His eyes are amber with a white clarity around it that is very susceptible to reddish traces of blood vessels appearing inside of it.
Visual Description:

image, without clothes

Written Description: The picture only represents how he would look if he would not wear anything. He usually does however. It is a simple pair of trousers and a shirt that almost doesn't cover anything of his back because of the wings. Both items are made out of thick linen and look quite cheap. No boots. He doesn't use any armor and would not be amused if someone tried to squeeze him into one, especially if its made out of inflexible metal. His skin is of a very dark grey color that competes with a slight touch of red in form of an irregular pattern across his entire body. Judging by the tightness his skin wraps around his muscle one could assume that he is seriously undernourished, but that's only mildly the case. His hands and feet are formed as an array of vicious natural weaponry. The wing surface consists of a highly flexible, surprisingly thin, leathery skin. Fully deployed they stretch out for several yards on each side to be able to actually support him. And he has a quite long and sturdy tail.
Level: 1
Class: Archer
Abilities:

• Fly - These wings aren't for pure decoration. However deciding to engange a combat flying is an ambivalent decision: On one hand you obviously don't have to worry about melee attacks, on the other hand a significant bit of precision in own attacks is lost along all chances of staying hidden. The real benefit is terrain-independent relocation. As long as a person is physically fit and not too heavy (~1/3 of his own weight), he can carry someone on his back. That someone then won't be able to do anything but look around because he would have to hold on to Kerylun. Grabbing an enemy and dump him from a proper altitude would theoretically be possible, but he could as well get his arms cut off in that attempt.
• Petrification - This is an active ability that doesn't last long, but grants him increased damage resistance so he can engage in melee combat and make full use of his physical prowess.
  
  • Level 1: Kerylun's upper layer of skin becomes tough as granite. It becomes very resilient to superficial damage like cuts and scrapes. Exposure to excessive heat that would cause 1 degree burns, mild frostbite, mild electrical shock or other elemental effects to minor extent causes reduced damage.
  • Level 2: The effect expands inwards, now involving the entire thickness of his skin. Damage reduction is also applied to stabbing/impalement, deep cuts that an average being would need stitches for, second degree burns, severe frostbite, and nerve damage that would be caused by electrical attacks.
  • Level 3: The effect expands further inwards, including his muscles and tendons. Damage reduction is now granted against all kind of physical attacks except very heavy blunt weapons. His dense defense can be shattered by continual bombardment from level 3 non-elemental magic spells.
  • Level 4: Kerylun now basically has the consistency of a tank. Damage reduction is granted against all kinds of physical or elemental attacks/effects. Level 4 non-elemental magic spells are the only spells that can harm him.

Skills:

• Inhuman physique - While with his size he is certainly prone to suffer from accidents and embarrassing situations in unprepared households, it is obvious that there could be situations in which this is very advantageous - and be it just for a bar fight.
• Night vision - Imagine a creature of the night that doesn't have this...

Weapon: A large longbow.
Personality: He's quite intelligent, often to the surprise of the people around him. He also has a rather smooth temper as long as you meet him with respect and not the usual bullshit. In the latter case the outcome depends on where he is: In a city with its many guards he'll probably bare his teeth, hiss and hit you with deliberate blasts of bad air. In the wilderness where noone's looking... it gets dangerous. Very dangerous. He's become adept in pretending obedience while internally ripping you into pieces and hatching plans to put such plans into actions. To sum things up: it's not far away from the truth to consider him a walking social catastrophy, but only partly for reasons he can be claimed responsible for.
Quirks: He needs to eat a huge lot and is purely carnivorous, ideal conditions for very low standards when it comes to quality - his body can take it. Slain enemies are not on his list however, except if the situation's really dire. It's needless to say that people can consider him quite intimidating, resulting in a social barrier he has to get over first.
Likes: Meat, wilderness, buildings of adequate ceiling height, a good fight (with him winning, of course), flying.
Dislikes: Humanity as a whole is his social problem. It gets better with other races, depending on what they think about him, but humans... someone hit Alt+F4 for them! Or wait, that's not possible. They already run on Windows 3.1 bluescreens in their heads. He can work with them if he must, but he hates them. The reason is that a hunting party once crossed his way and what the nobles did was to quarrel about who would be allowed to claim the prize and enslave him. The winner did so with success for several years until he managed to escape by force. This is not commonly known, but he still is pretty much a savage that plays and has to play the poor man's role in human cities.
Inventory: Empty.

Greyed-out text is used to keep track of which level(s) he has not reached yet.

Let's make a story !

which

Dungeon Fantasy [A Comedy Rp!]

@Holy Soldier I assume that with this adaptation the CS is accepted ?

Fae Wild (A RP with myself and Fetzen)

@Eviledd1984

Xavier's attempted strike was a success, though a rather costly one. The impaled creature died, bleeding all across his lower body. The creature's teeth had made quite visible dents in his armor and the blood that was seeping in through the gaps between the different pieces of it felt like a weak acid irritating the skin.

There was one other creature left. It focused on Bette since she was attacking it and managed to slam her to the ground, its feet standing on her thighs and its claws thrusting downwards to reach her. It was only then when a sudden, hot blast wave hit them both, tossing them a few feet through the air and separating them again. Its origin: Madawc, who had managed to get up onto his feet. It was a horribly unstable walk and even through his demonic skin he looked really pale.

The more you add, the longer you delay approval lol. [...]

@Holy Soldier

I think we have to split up the blame in this case lol. I am responsible for the oversight about measurement of time, but I am not responsible for the change request to make this into a multi-level ability ;)

If you put the turn restriction in your CS and do not add anymore crap, then your CS should finally be good to go.

Holy Soldier

How do I have to understand this 'anymore' ? You're considering the CS as crap ?

Duration being what you said how long your character can resist magic damage before it harms him.

Holy Soldier

It appears that you misunderstood an important piece of the puzzle. The ability does not, at any point in time, under any circumstances grant any kind of immunity. It is in all cases merely a damage reduction, so magic damage does harm him from the very beginning, it is only a matter of time of exposure before this additional protection fails. The origin for this idea was your own proposal to make the ability 'grow inwards' to resist deeper damage: When you stick your finger into a flame it will heat up and burn out from the outside inwards and putting on gloves only delays this until the glove has heated up and is passing the heat through to the underlying level.

So for the sake of simplicity I would propose abandoning the idea of 'timers' altogether and instead make this a more simple on/off-switch like skill. It would save me from the uncertainty if I suddenly have to face an implementation change within the RP or not.

Petrification - When activated, this ability reinforces Kerylun's body, granting resistance to physical and magic attacks. It lasts until he decides to turn it off, but it also makes him a lot more lumbering and less agile. This downside is not changed by level.
Level 1: Slight resistance.
Level 2: Moderate resistance.
Level 3: High resistance.

So he basically really becomes much more... stony. The idea behind it is the same: He can opt to go melee due to increased protection. In the old version this was temporary, in this version it only makes sense against a certain type of enemies that he actually would have a chance to hit or if he 'just' needs to hold on for a while against an attacker that surprised him in his backwards position as an archer.
