Whooo!

realizes he doesn't know how to post for a TRP Q_Q

@ClocktowerEchos

Should be like writing a regular post. Except you have to keep track of things and occasionally type in the dice code.

Speaking of which @Aristo how do you use this the guild's dice roller?

EDIT: Also do I have to roll for casting Rotes or just Leveled Spells?

Into Darkness - A Dungeon World Adventure

The Not!Cleric

Name: Alexandria Belladonna
XP: 0
HP Max: 20
HP Current: 20/20
Base Damage: d6
Armor: 1
Alignment: Lawful - Endanger yourself following the precepts of your church or god.
Look: Sharp Eyes; Strange Hair; Flowing Robes; Thin Body
At first glance, an obvious (if slightly out of fashion) example of Aabranian nobility. Her elaborately-styled hair - long, earthy, and braided with deadly nightshade into a low-set bun - and the brand on her exposed forearm are particularly dead giveaways. Upon closer inspection however, the state of her affairs becomes more clear in the lack of ostentation. Her features are particularly plain, and perhaps she could have been attractive once, but spiritual nourishment has left her eyes cold and her body diminished.
Race: Human - Your faith is diverse. Choose one wizard spell. You can cast and be granted that spell as if it was a cleric spell.

Bonds

• Linoleum has insulted my deity; I do not trust them.
• Serah is a good and faithful person; I trust them implicitly.
• Zogolli is in constant danger, I will keep them safe.
• I am working on converting ____ to my faith.

Deity - Lealope
Domain: Knowledge and Hidden Things
Petition: Gaining Secrets

Strictly speaking not a deity, but rather the powerful demonic patroness of Alexandria's family. Self-identifies as female.

Appearance has been described by Alexandria as resembling a grotesque angel with too many wings. Additionally, the sickeningly sweet scent of deadly flowers seems to linger for a short period after her visitations.

Other information to be revealed.

Starting Moves

• Divine Guidance
  When you petition your deity according to the precept of your religion, you are granted some useful knowledge or boon related to your deity’s domain. The GM will tell you what.
• Turn Undead
  When you hold your holy symbol aloft and call on your deity for protection, roll+Wis.
  • On a 7+, so long as you continue to pray and brandish your holy symbol, no undead may come within reach of you.
  • On a 10+, you also momentarily daze intelligent undead and cause mindless undead to flee. Aggression breaks the effects and they are able to act as normal. Intelligent undead may still find ways to harry you from afar. They’re clever like that.
• Commune
  When you spend uninterrupted time (an hour or so) in quiet communion with your deity, you:
  • Lose any spells already granted to you.
  • Are granted new spells of your choice whose total levels don’t exceed your own level+1, and none of which is a higher level than your own level.
  • Prepare all of your rotes, which never count against your limit.
• Cast a Spell
  When you unleash a spell granted to you by your deity, roll+Wis.
  • On a 10+, the spell is successfully cast and your deity does not revoke the spell, so you may cast it again.
  • On a 7–9, the spell is cast, but choose one:
    • You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot. The GM will tell you how.
    • Your casting distances you from your deity—take -1 ongoing to cast a spell until the next time you commune.
    • After you cast it, the spell is revoked by your deity. You cannot cast the spell again until you commune and have it granted to you.
    Note that maintaining spells with ongoing effects will sometimes cause a penalty to your roll to cast a spell.

Advanced Moves

Spells

• Light (Level Rote)
  An item you touch glows with divine light, about as bright as a torch. It gives off no heat or sound and requires no fuel but is otherwise like a mundane torch. You have complete control of the color of the flame. The spell lasts as long as it is in your presence.
• Sanctify (Level Rote)
  Food or water you hold in your hands while you cast this spell is consecrated by your deity. In addition to now being holy or unholy, the affected substance is purified of any mundane spoilage.
• Guidance (Level Rote)
  The symbol of your deity appears before you and gestures towards the direction or course of action your deity would have you take then disappears. The message is through gesture only; your communication through this spell is severely limited.
• Bless (Level 1 Ongoing)
  Your deity smiles upon a combatant of your choice. They take +1 ongoing so long as battle continues and they stand and fight. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell.
• Cure Light Wounds (Level 1)
  At your touch wounds scab and bones cease to ache. Heal an ally you touch of 1d8 damage.
• Detect Alignment (Level 1)
  When you cast this spell choose an alignment: Good, Evil, Lawful, or Chaotic. One of your senses is briefly able to detect that alignment. The GM will tell you what here is of that alignment.
• Cause Fear (Level 1 Ongoing)
  Choose a target you can see and a nearby object. The target is afraid of the object so long as you maintain the spell. Their reaction is up to them: flee, panic, beg, fight. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell. You cannot target entities with less than animal intelligence (magical constructs, undead, automatons, and the like).
• Magic Missile (Level 1)
  Projectiles of pure magic spring from your fingers. Deal 2d4 damage to one target.
• Magic Weapon (Level 1 Ongoing)
  The weapon you hold while casting does +1d4 damage until you dismiss this spell. While this spell is ongoing you take -1 to cast a spell.
• Sanctuary (Level 1)
  As you cast this spell, you walk the perimeter of an area, consecrating it to your deity. As long as you stay within that area you are alerted whenever someone acts with malice within the sanctuary (including entering with harmful intent). Anyone who receives healing within a sanctuary heals +1d4 HP.
• Speak With Dead (Level 1)
  A corpse converses with you briefly. It will answer any three questions you pose to it to the best of the knowledge it had in life and the knowledge it gained in death.

Mika Alkaev - Not That Deep

To say Mika was surprised would be an understatement. Usually if he’d said something like that in a polite place like this, he’d get knocked on his ass or otherwise forced to do something rather unpleasant as compensation. All he’d gotten from the Level 10 was benignity all around. Where was the ruler smashing his knuckles and the endless rewriting of “I will not cuss out the teacher” on the whiteboard?

...Hm. Maybe all those books about schoolmarms had colored his perceptions a tad too much?

Whatever the case, he wasn’t about to look this gift horse in the mouth. He was, after all, sure that if he pulled that trick again, he wouldn’t be getting similar forgiveness. He averted his eyes, knowing he’d done something a bit embarrassing, and gave an awkward laugh of relief as he saw his grime fading.

Though the reason for his relief was pretty obviously not the fact that he was getting a quick clean up.

“Neat trick.” He tugged his uniform and brought it closer to his face, watching closely at the fading specks of filth. Nanotechnology derived from microtelekinesis - now there was something he’d have liked when he was out on the job a few weeks ago.

’Uuuuuuh,’ Mika thought, somewhat disoriented by the professor’s words, ’Was that part about starting off at Level 4 a challenge?’ Although it was entirely self-perceived, the expectation that the Songbird had “forced on” him was a bit much for the young man’s easily mistranslated mind. Advancing to Level 10 in a good… six, four, something like that... year window like she had? That was crazy! And he didn’t even have the luxury of general-purpose telekinesis! “Thanks teach, but one step at a time,” he mumbled, slowly and mindlessly following after the older woman, “One... step... at a time.”

As the two walked, a thought occurred to him: he was following the professor to the lunchroom, but he’d left his actual lunch in the classroom. Taking a moment to silently break away from his academic mentor, Mika dashed through the corridors, skidded to a stop next to the desk he’d placed his lunch, and was right back behind the Songbird.

But before they could make it to the canteen, they were approached by a student - the playdough guy from earlier, Mika noted - who decided to talk to them about some events that were going to happen soon.

Well, whatever that was, Mika didn’t feel like paying too much attention to what was being said. So he reached into the brown bag and began eating the sandwich therein. "...That...Sounds...Like a....Good idea..." he said between bites.

Into Darkness - A Dungeon World Adventure

Ayy Clock's here. Good to see you, buddy.

Also I'll see about sending in my Wizard or Cleric in tonight.

Into Darkness - A Dungeon World Adventure

Woah, I didn't notice the Ranger's God Among the Wastes move. Thanks for pointing that out.

And yeah, the setting would definitely be real interesting for one of the divine classes. Since there's that whole caveat about families with demonic patrons, I was actually thinking that if I decided on Cleric I might see if I couldn't get a slightly reflavor to getting my spells from a demon bound to my character's clan as opposed to a diety that they're tight with.

But a Wizard can already kind of do the communicating with spirits through a first level spell, so eh. We'll see.

Into Darkness - A Dungeon World Adventure

My concern was more about knowing when it's appropriate to roll dice on my own so I don't have to bother the GM every post. Anyway, last time I played a Fighter, so I'm thinking of playing one of the two casters, or the Paladin who nabs Divine Favor for Cleric spells (but probably not).

Into Darkness - A Dungeon World Adventure

While I'm not at all familiar with forum-based TRPG, I have done a one-shot session of Dungeon World with my friends and really liked how it played. So if that first part won't be a problem, I'd be up for joining this.
