Melon asked about a lobby. You can heal yourself or allow the area to heal you. Either option is open since I just said healing but nothing specific. No you can't steal an invite.


I should clarify, I am aware that there is a lobby, I was just hoping we'd have more experiences there like in WOTW, though I suppose that will mostly be up to the players.

Sigurd had to stop someone hanging themselves in the middle of the lobby in WOTW, where-as the Clockwork Man pretty much sat in his room in NoW.
Not bad, anyone missing sheets? Skallagrim maybe?
Yeah I'd love to see a fleshed out lobby like WOTW, definitely a must-have for character development.
If i am understanding it right, the only time IN attempts to break line of sight is when Lisita moves behind the pillar. Tordor would probably be able to track her movement up until she moves behind him, meaning that he may have as well been expecting an attack from behind without having to rely on additional information from the spirits (which, IMHO, shouldn't be used in combat given Khan's current description in their CS, since this would be too useful of an ability in a 2v2 fight to not be explicitly stated and even accentuated).

I'm a bit perplexed with the positioning of Tordor's and IN's characters though, so i'll read a bit more into that and form my opinion on this matter ASAP.


Seems like there's a distinction though between expecting an attack and performing a sword strike so perfectly timed so that IN's character runs straight into it when the character is still behind a pillar until after it's launched. Because that's what's happening. We all just have to accept that Khan's attack on Judgement wasn't his real move and in actuality his character was launching a super spin on the off chance IN chose to attack in that exact fashion at that exact time.

I'm having trouble articulating this, if it still doesn't seem dodgy to you then we'll just have to carry on, and Khan won't be able to utilize spirit vision anymore.
It is necessary, as you've been using the ability to see round corners and such and to know where Nobody's character is, which would be an important move in setting up this 'false strike' you're talking about. Nobody only leaves cover as your striking, unless your saying your character swung at Judgement on the off chance Nobody charged straight at you.

Seems unlikely to me.

Frankly, there is no way I would accept your character being able to perform that move so perfectly without a reliable way of knowing where IN is. That's what I would put to you Vordak, it seems like an attempt to get out of putting himself in a bad situation in my opinion by making it all seem pre-planned.
Hmm. We might need a new judge, I guess Vordak is busy or something.
I do have the terrifying mental image of your forcing someone having a stroke across the road though, do you not have the incessant stroke identification adverts over there in 'Merica? I'm fairly certain I could spot someone having a stroke a mile away at this point.

How did he know I was behind him in the last multiverse then?


Forgot that fight is still actually on the site, quick look seems to suggest I used his -advanced- technomagic (this was the upgraded Clockwork Man, who didn't have the magic eye any more) to detect your character's equipment after you tried to scan him. He then had a lock which saved him when you tried to ambush him from behind, but only just, if your character had a longer range weapon to attack with he probably couldn't have turned in time, despite me saying he was prepared for the attack in the previous post.
Vordak can judge on that, tenuous at best, unique awareness in that context seems to be in regards to his ability to hear without ears and see without eyes, it doesn't say anything about being able to see all angles at all times. Therefore, your character is using your OOC knowledge that Nobody is charging out of cover behind him to react at extreme speed, considering his character's main attribute is speed (and therefore from a T1 standpoint should rightly have a speed advantage over every other character here.)

That would also be nothing like the Clockwork Man's sight, which is explicitly stated to work through the use of his magic eye. It does not give him extrasensory views of the areas outside of his normal sight arc, which is another ability altogether.
@Vordak Can I just point out that from what I've read there is no indication that Khan's character has the ability to generate a complete view of the area around him by 'seeing' through these soul things in his CS. Looks a lot like meta-gaming to me.
