Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

@XxFellsingxX

Do I need to make another roll to sneak back to the cell or does the sneak roll I've already made cover both trips?

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

@rush99999 Moved my char across, sorry for the xmas delay

@Candykane

Welcome back, Candy. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas.

You're sheet looks good, but there is still one issue I need you to address.

Look Disheveled

@Candykane

I believe disheveled is meant to go in Demeanor rather than Look, and Look is meant to have something like what the other players have put in theirs.

Also, I noticed that you are having trouble formatting your sheet. Worry not, I have fixed the formatting issues for you and have left a fixed CS below for you to move over to the CHAR tab.

Who are you? Misty Starbuck. No its not my real name, but it just has so much more style than Karen Whatever, plus a girl needs a working name! Some wizards have tremendous arcane power, great fortunes, immense libraries, and storied lineages. I'm the other kind.

How long have you been in the city? Since I got out of the joint six months ago. Parole and all that.

What keeps you up at night? I've done a lot of deals for a lot of people with a lot of enemies. I worry that someone is going to take it personally.

What have you sacrificed for your power A normal life. I could have gone to a college that didn't have a department of thaumaturgy, had 2.5 kids, owned an SUV. Instead I'm alone, on the run, scraping to get by without getting exsanguinated in a 7/11. Go me.

What do you desperately need? I stole a book from one of the aforementioned powerful wizards. Unfortunately he wasn't too good for CCTV. I need to get him off my back and soon.

Sanctum Sanctorum: When you go to your sanctum for a spell ingredient, relic, or tome, roll with Spirit. On a 10+, you’ve got pretty much just the thing. On a 7-9, you’ve got something close, but it’s flawed or lacking in some significant way. On a miss, you don’t have what you’re looking for, but you know someone who probably has it in stock

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Skobeloff

"All according to plan." Skobeloff said to the unlocked door, before turning back to the twins. "Okay, so here’s the plan. I listened in on Fogdance’s heartbeat on the way here and it turns out the only way to snap her out of her Shadowself is to show her that all this overprotective stuff isn’t helping. Like, at all. In fact, it’s doing the opposite. If I can find the right things, I can put on a pretty convincing “uh-oh, this is bad” act to make her notice. When I got here, she tried to give me porridge with something sneaky in it to knock me out. I’m hoping it was a sleeping medicine and not a fancy potion, because medicines are way easier to mess up if you use too much. Sooo... if I sneak into the kitchen, find the sleeping medicine she used, grab what I need, and sneak back here, I can fake taking too much. When Fogdance sees the 'harm' her safety plans caused, it should be enough to snap her right out of the Darkness." Provided the twins had no objections to the plan, Skobeloff would then instruct them to stay put, ensuring them he wouldn't be long. Skobeloff would then stealthily exit the cell and begin sneaking towards the kitchen.

OOC

Provided the twins don't stop him, Skobeloff attempts to trick Fogdance into thinking that he isn't sneaking around. He rolls an 8 and opts to create an opportunity.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Happy Holidays, everyone!

@XxFellsingxX

Could Skobeloff reach the kitchen again without alerting Fogdance?

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

Alrighty then! It may have taken a little longer than I thought it would, but we're finally ready to begin the game in earnest!

The CHAR tab now has a 0th post with list of NPCs that have been created by your character creation processes and Session Intro moves. Feel free to peruse any or all of the NPCs listed therein.

I'll try to have the first IC post up before the end of the year. For now though, a word from our sponsor...

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

My apologies for not posting on Monday like I said I would. The post is taking longer to write than I anticipated. I'll try to get something up before the end of the year.

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

NPCs

Abberline Winchester - Cryptid Game Hunter

Faction: Mortality

A hunter who doesn't care a whit about whether or not his prey is actually a threat to ordinary people.

Rather than hunting to protect the innocent like most other Hunters do, Abberline hunts for sport.

He tries his best to keep ordinary folks out of the crossfire, but has no qualms with continuing the hunt even if it puts normal people in danger.

Aliss - Dream Wise Hippy Roommate

Faction: Mortality

One of Kendra's roommates, a weird hippy who likes hearing about visions.

Helps Kendra understand what their dreams and visions mean.

Is friends with Trinity and has been watching out for Charity in the wake of Grace's 'disappearance'.

Chandra Singh - Mayoral Mother-In-Law

Faction: Mortality

Mother of Ravindra Singh.

She has a seat on the City Council and her eyes on the Mayor's office.

She is aware of her Son-In-Law's predicament and has been trying to do something about it, much to her detriment.

Charity - Unaware Little Sister

Faction: Mortality

Grace's little sister.

Recently befriended Aliss.

Would very much like Grace to stop being missing soon.

Clippy - It Looks Like You're Trying To Come Up With A Title For Me. Would You Like Help?

Faction: Wild

A spirit of arcane knowledge sworn to the service of Misty Starbuck.

Manifests as a paper clip. Misty added googly eyes to his look in honor of the Microsoft Word assistant.

Dante - The Delving Date

Faction: Mortality

A childhood friend of Grace's who started dating her before she 'went missing'.

Has been trying to find Grace ever since she was pronounced missing.

Edward Farley - The Rising Shadow

Faction: Power

One of the most powerful wizards in the city, even before he fell to the temptations of corruption.

Not satisfied with merely having great magical power, he has also sought out great political power and has become a highly influential politician within the city. He does not intend to stop there.

Is willing to use any means necessary to attain his goals. Many of his opponents have learned this the hard way.

Madrigal Golden - An Angered Magician

Faction: Power

One of the most powerful wizards in the city, second only to Edward Farley.

Enjoys getting those who cross him arrested on trumped up charges.

Mr. Dialtone - The Wizard in the Wires

Faction: Power

The most well-respected information broker in the city. His soul was trapped within the wires and cables of the city by a curse cast on him by Edward Farley.

Despite being trapped, Mr. Dialtone is far from powerless. He can perceive and effect the world from any device he can reach through the wires.

He continues to oppose Farley in any way he can.

Nephren-ka - The Khopesh for Hire

Faction: Night

By day, she is the main attraction of the city's museum.

By night, she rises from her tomb to ply her services as a fixer to those who have need of such things.

Paimon - King of the West

Faction: Wild

Mitra's demonic patron, obedient servant of Lucifer, and shadow ruler of all the western world.

When summoned, he either arrives in an ostentatious parade or arrives alone and expects a sacrifice to be made to him before any business is conducted.

His powers are many and marvelous. He possesses knowledge of all arts and secret things, and has the ability to "make all kinds of things" and "all sorts of people and armor" appear at the behest of those who bargain with him.

Faction: Mortality

Husband of Mitra Singh.

Saved Mitra's life in Rajasthan 14 years ago.

Wants to be a great man, and is willing to go great lengths to be so.

Faction: Mortality

The CEO of the city's largest journalism company.

Benefits from the corruption of a local political official and is willing to kill to continue doing so.

The Trader - Bothersome Faerie Thief

Faction: Wild

A master thief from Arcadia, though they don't consider themself a thief.

Whenever they take something they leave something they believe to be of equal value behind. More often that not, what they leave behind is nowhere near as valuable as what they take.

The Unwanted Houseguest - Master of the Heebie Jeebies

Faction: Night

One of the oldest unliving spectres in the world, though cryptohistorians are unable to agree on his age. He lived and died as late as the Age of Enlightenment or as early as the Renaissance.

He commands a strange force known as the Heebie Jeebies. He used it centuries ago to make the entire world forget the existence of the supernatural and has been using it to keep as many people as possible Unaware ever since.

Makes a habit showing up uninvited in the homes of people who become aware of the supernatural. Anytime he speaks, anything he has to say is usually quite unsettling.

Trinity - Forensic Roommate

Faction: Mortality

One of Kendra's roommates, the two of them having been friends since their college days.

Also friends with Aliss.

Kendra uses their abilities to assist Trinity in her forensic work.

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

@Guardian Angel Haruki
BTW, do you think you could put you CHAR tab CS in a hider please? My scrolling finger would be eternally grateful.

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

I'll take the piece of equipment please! Might have multiple uses.

@RBYDark

Very well. You will receive the equipment once the game begins.

I am almost ready to start things off. I just need to ask a few more questions and we'll be good to go.

@XxFellsingxX
Is Aliss an Oracle like Kendra or does she just have a knack for understanding dreams and visions?

@Guardian Angel Haruki
Does everyone know that Grace is dead or did the CEO hide the body well enough that she's still considered missing? Also, does Grace's family member Debt still need a creditor or have one of the other players occupied that role?

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

Rolled a 12. Let's see if that luck carries on.

@RBYDark

Nice throw, mark Mortality and select one of the following bonuses: You’ve got a Debt on someone in Mortality. You receive a useful morsel of information. Or you gain a handy piece of equipment.
