Grimoiric Heart

Reading our Seraph’s post reminds me the national flower of Scotland is a thistle. This may not be a flower that handles being Princess carried and having their hand held by an authority figure trying to drag her off to English boarding school while treating everyone like children.

I’m going to relish Nessie’s post.

@Lonewolf685

Pretty much my exact thought process (aside from not knowing the flower trivia). Practically did a spit-take when Lumiere did that.

Grimoiric Heart

And a post has been made.

@Izurich

Nice post. I see the IC misinterpretations continue both ways. Fun stuff.
After all, it's worth noting that this is the first time Camelot's Round Table feast has ever been targeted by Pageless... in all of the 1 year+ that she's been actually doing it on a pretty much daily basis at sunrise and sunset. That isn't to say that Lumiere isn't correct about the danger... just not for the reasons she thinks.
If it weren't for Camelot starting the feast later than normal (thus it being so far past sundown and during prime Pageless hunting time) and the increased aggression of the Pageless as a whole as of late, this may have never come up.

Grimoiric Heart

Hmm. Camelot's an interesting character to a lot of folks. I could see Lilac being like, "Why is she me but better? She has everything together and I don't. O_o." because she doesn't understand Camelot's internal struggles.

@The 42nd Gecko

It should definitely make for some interesting character interactions. While on the surface, both of them might perform similar roles, it is the roles they take in terms of making emotional connections that will certainly set them apart long term and define Lilac amongst the team, her bombastic friendly nature a contrast to Camelot's often distant guardian persona. Plus, there's always the chance of Lilac finally coming into her own and developing new Grimoire powers (which I think was possibly going to be a thing down the line? unless I'm thinking of a similar RP I looked at around the time I found this). There are certainly some interesting ways this could play out.

So, uh... Having now tried to catch up on what I haven't read... I'm really thinking I'm just not cut out for Advanced. As much as I like the idea of Karen as I wrote her CS, I don't think I can keep up with this RP; I'll probably just drag down the quality. So I think I'm gonna drop as well, unfortunately. Sorry to have wasted your time, all.

@The World

You weren't wasting anyone's time. Hate to see it happen this way, but I personally really liked what I saw from your end. If this is it, I'll merely wish you the best of luck in your future RP endeavors!

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

Yeah, I'm down for a collab if you want. I was just gonna have her show up and have gotten lost, but if you have a good idea I'm willing to go with it.

@The World

Sounds good. To reduce spoilers, I'll shoot you a PM and pitch what I have in mind.

I haven't given this up, just been busy with other projects. Would help if I had a headcount of interested parties.

@Dead Cruiser

I'm getting really involved in some other RPs, but I'm still game for this depending on what the post rate ends up looking like and such. Bottom line: still interested. We'll see where things go. Mostly, I'm just waiting on a CS or something right now, so I can readjust my character concept appropriately.

Grimoiric Heart

On another note, Lotus Sutra has been quite the sneaky and quiet little bugger. Last we saw of her was her entering the construction site. We never really got any approximate positioning or anything (whether she was right out in the open or not), so I wasn't sure if to note her presence IC or not (eventually settled on no). Yo, @The World, if you've got any particular plans for introducing her here, I'm game to collab or otherwise provide an opening. If not, that's cool too, but I figured I'd offer.

Also, LMAO, Dynasty Queen's player is gonna be in for a serious ride of a wall of text once they finally pop back in.

Grimoiric Heart

Hmmmmm... I think my next post will involve Lumiere guiding the girls home to Marrywell Academy (for those who chooses to follow, it's not an order).

@Izurich

I mean, I'd assumed this scene would go slightly longer than that, but it makes sense to clear out quickly from the site of such a big conflict. Long as someone handles Nessie getting down safe (or she does it herself), Camelot will be right along with her.

Avonshire - D&D Based Adventure

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hugh Caphazath Half-Elf, Monk (Way of Shadow), Level 3 HP: 24/24 Armor Class: 17 Conditions: Pass Without Trace Location: J8 Action: N/A Bonus Action: N/A Reaction: Triggered held shortbow attack on Goblin G10

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hugh did not have to wait long for his que.

Kathryn had been rather vocal before about taking a straightforward approach, and it seemed true to form, she was the first to lead the charge. Luckily, she seemed to have forgone such a concept as asking for their surrender, but nonetheless, her approach was about the furthest thing from subtle.

As the towering woman’s throwing axes took a single life each with honestly frightening strength, Hugh’s attention refocused on his own task. The Target had startled with Kathryn’s approach, but even as he fumbled for her bow in a drunken stupor, Hugh exhaled slowly, held his breath and let his own arrow fly.

On a target as small as this in such an inconveniently angled and slumped position as it was, aiming for the head was not the wisest course of action. The skull was one of the hardest bones in any humanoid creature’s body, and reliably circumventing it oft required piercing the eye socket with your projectile. Hugh chose a far safer and larger target.

His arrow whistled smoothly into the goblin’s chest cavity, sliding between ribs into the heart. The Target jerked at the impact and then flopped back atop the rock and went still once more.

Three foes down. Five remaining. Already the odds were evened most nicely. Hugh reached for a new arrow and nocked it quietly, mindful of the fact that his whistling arrow would have well revealed his location, as he pressed himself back against the crevice between the rocks.

@Lewascan2 Heeey, great post!

Just wanna make sure that you OOCly know that Lumi has spent like 90% of her mana holding back the giant construct, so she’s as exhausted as Goodhope is.

If you already know that and it’s just Camelot making an IC error of judgment, then all’s good~

@Izurich

Yeah, this is totally an IC error of judgement. She doesn't know how draining Lumiere's shields are since most of her experience with her is laser beams of heat death obliterating anything that gets in the angel's way. All she knows is that Lumiere was playing defense, and she assumed it was just as easy for her to do that as it would be to just attack. As far as she can outwardly tell, Lumiere is just peachy, compared to Goodhope who has much less outward composure than Lumiere.
