Windfall: A Character Driven Fantasy

Curious casual.

Demon Slayer: Era of Destruction

@January One of my ideas was to make some sort of smoke/incense demon, and I thought it'd be really cool if they could have some sort of connection to Marzanna (i.e. be one of her younger demon children, possibly even a slayer injected with her blood, though I'd prefer the former), since her abilities seem similar to what I'd wanna do for the Demon blood arts - but I don't know how you'd feel a PC having a connection to a NPC, especially such a high ranking one?

“Kaeleer…is good. It’s home,” Jandar answered Dareen’s question simply. “You’ll see when we get there,” he added with a light shrug. He was soon distract from all other matters by Fatima receiving a letter. “He…left?” the Warlord asked, frowning in thought about Xandar. “My Lady,” he addressed his Queen, mildly hesitant. “Perhaps I could arrange a meeting with her myself, to see how the Prince fares and what he is up to,” he suggested. “It might be best if I appear Hyllian, and if I might bother you to help me draft a letter the local Queen might accept as well, I’d greatly appreciate it,” he said.

It took a bit for all the matters to be taken care of, the letter to be sent, and for Jandar to get into his full Aristocratic persona. Then, he only had to wait for the reply before he could head to Alice’s HQ…

@LadyRunic Yeah. Feel free to update though.

Jandar glanced at the departing Faeril, but didn’t spare her much thought – especially not since Fatima had questions for him.

“I met her by chance, and followed her to her home, helped her with some groceries,” he explained. “I am not sure about the Gates, but at least her place wasn’t guarded. She did mention that a younger assistant of hers was in the local Queen’s circle. The city-folk seemed to know the priestess I met as well; they were both respectful and wary of her. So, I cannot say how trustworthy she truly is, but she seemed alright to me,” he replied.

Briefly turning to Dareen, he added, “Yes, I do believe heading to Kaeleer could be good. Depending on what our over-arching plan is, what we currently want to achieve, whether we still have business in Terreille et cetera et cetera,” he told her.

Ankaa shuffled onto the train with the others, marveling at the interior. She had only heard of trains, but hadn’t ever actually seen one. It was quite something to take in. She strolled along the carriage, noting all the little details. Midstride, she took out her journal, making some quick notations and sketches at the back of it.

Involved as she was in her activity, she missed much of the ongoing commotion, startled out of her reverie only when their instructor suddenly yelled at them to sit down. Liu blinked at the order, noticing that most of the other students were already sitting down. She joined the table seating Sanhan, Kress, Blumenthal, and Misaiya. Mandi was pestering the Lady of Thorns, but before Ankaa could intervene, Misaiya was the one to put an end to it.

Shrugging, Ankaa stared out of the window for the remained of their journey, captivated by the view. She stopped only to eat, finishing her home-made lunch. However, she did order some things to refill her lunch-box with, just in case she’d need it for later. She studied her journal, observed the students, stared outside the window, and even napped a bit to spend the time.

When they finally arrived, it was to an abandoned station outside of Genelogia. Ankaa actually appreciated the rural site they journeyed across, the nature giving her a feeling of home, even if it was fairly different. However, they soon noticed an odd sight – trees yellowed and reddened with late autumn. The problem being, it wasn’t autumn.

Ankaa frowned at the foliage, trying to get a read on the mana. But she couldn’t see anything strange. Subtle. Powerful? Their professor informed them that it was the work of magic, possibly temporal, but even he had difficulties figuring it out. An experiment? Or a natural occurrence? The martial artist would sooner bet on the former, but it wouldn’t do to fixate on one idea, especially not when the clues were so scant.

Liu was deep in thought as they walked. The village was surrounded by the autumn trees, and Ankaa bit her lip. Not a good sign. And lo’ and behold – as soon as she thought that, the appearance of the physically-altered villager confirmed the suspicion. Is that…some sort of magical tumor? A curse? I’ve never seen an affliction like that…

She may not have seen it, but Ankaa was determined to get a closer look. “Professor, I would like to inspect that person and his malady up close,” she murmured.

She looked at the other students. “We should find out how many are like this and if anyone spared of that knows anything,” she said to them as much as she did to Nyx. Then, her gaze was drawn to two specific students she thought might be able to help the situation most directly.

“Yvaine, does this seem like something you could heal?” she queried, working on the assumption that interfering and attempting to cure the condition they observed was the best course of action.

“And Blumenthal, since your magic has to do with plants, would you say this is likelier to have originated from a mage or from a natural source?”

She then turned to Nyx, as another question had occurred to her. “Professor, do you sense the same temporal magic interference as you had before, sir, or is there something else involved as well?”

Finally, Ankaa’s restless gaze wandered to the dazed villager. She was concerned how he might react to the presence of strangers – would he be aggressive or would he not notice at all? Perhaps he would even act almost normal. She’d have to observe carefully, but as soon as she had the teacher’s permission, she’d approach the man – unless the villager came over himself, that was.

Mm, no. I decided I have enough RPs on my plate, and I wasn't really feeling a SOL focused one. Thanks for the notification though.

I'll see if I can make a post in the next few days. I franky haven't cared much for the train arc so far.

Asteria

Asteria listened to the conversation between the three goblins, noting that interspecies cooperation was as difficult as she may have imagined for natives. The mention of a Boss and sacrifices worried her, because if the leader was a necromancer, then Ed was just about to deliver a corpse for his use straight to the doorstep. Ah, well, hopefully the force of living vengeful Myrminors would come soon enough to take care of the bandits…

Asteria carefully observed the layout. There was one entrance on the bottom and one exit near the clifftop. There were two more enemies on the balcony, but it didn’t look like many more bandits *could* fit into the dugout cliffside. She quickly used Monster Analysis II on the human and the archer Hobgoblin, intending to gather information about them.

She wasn’t about to act against two enemies alone, though, especially not when it would notify the others, and soon returned the way she came. When she arrived at their meeting point, Ed was already back. “Oh, hey. I take it you did your part already. It would be just our luck if our plan backfired…I’ve heard mention of the Boss being able to use some kind of power based on sacrifice. For your sake, I do hope it has nothing to do with the undead. Also, besides those three, I’ve seen two more enemies up top; one human and another hobgoblin,” Asteria made her report.

“Listen, I’m just going to try and make contact with the beast. If it seems like I’m about to be noticed, I’ll return. If you hear a commotion, you better hide.” That said, she went fire right along the fence, up until she reached the cage’s location. She dug a tunnel right to the side of it, so that the hole and her entry were less likely to be seen. She was much more careful this time, as the trio was a bit closer than when she’d been entering to the left. Once done, she wriggled her way through, and warily stretched a paw into the cage with the beast. As soon as it made contact with her, she was prepared to use Telepathy to send a full blast of positive soothing emotion its way, to try and establish that she was not an enemy nor a snack. If all went to plan, she wouldn’t even loose a paw to the endeavor.

I'm wondering how you intend to handle the Telepathy branch of magic. It includes the kind of powers that are usually iffy if not outright restricted in RPs (especially the mind domination); they're powerful on paper but tend to be rather nerfed in practice (for due reasons). Even illusions can be difficult to pull off, since there's the question when and how can they be recognized by others.
