OOC 50: Over The Hill

[bc56]

MERC just got a job to clear out undead from a wasteland petrol station, so your character can hop on it if you want.

Sure!
Erasmus will be there.
What thread will it be in?

[Earl of Purple]

Since I'm the contractor for that job (it's the 'dungeon' I gave MERC), I'll answer.

I was planning on putting it in Outside, but if you'd prefer to use a Plot thread, I'm happy with that. I would recommend reading my scene with Morty in the MERC thread, as that has details on the plot. Like the area to expect, what kind of undead, and so on. I think MERC would want to share that info anyway, so unless Morty wants to transfer it with a scene it's good.

[Morty]

Everyone involved would get the information, yes. I was thinking about sending my own character as well, a license-holder. But he's a pyromancer, which may not be the best idea for a petrol station...

[Earl of Purple]

The petrol's in tanks underground, so it's not easily accessible. That's why petrol stations rarely explode. A little bit of pyromancy should be ok, the station building is metal and concrete, so won't burn easy. The cabin's made of logs, so that might burn down, same goes for the watch tower.

[Morty]

Alright then. I'll send Fayyaad there. Fire works well against undead, after all.

[bc56]

Erasmus is sort of a mix of transmuter, enchanter, and conjurer.
Not technically effective vs. undead, but he's also a dragon.

[Morty]

Then one of us can post, or Earl can if he wants.

[bc56]

I don't have a preference. Earl?

[Earl of Purple]

I've posted in Outside, since nobody requested elsewhere. This is the post.

[bc56]

I'm a bit confused as to whether I go again or wait for Earl, since we didn't technically interact with the "dungeon" yet, but rather waited outside the entrance to discuss our next move.

[Earl of Purple]

In this instance, go again. The skeletons are still on watch; the zombies are still wandering. I'm a little distracted writing up a post elsewhere, and once that's done I'm going to bed. I'm just checking back here as I think things through.

I was interested in finally putting together my cool old lady ex-adventurer character that manipulates textiles and was wondering what you guys thought of her:

Etheniel Gloraneus

Spoiler

Show

Alias: Etheniel Swordstitcher; The Wandering Seamstress
Gender: Female
Race/Species: Human
Age: 65
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Class/Profession: Retired Adventurer; Reluctant Seamstress
Power Rating: 4 (was a 6 in her prime)
Description: Etheniel's age is plain to those who look at her. Her hair is gray, her face is wrinkled, and she hobbles a bit when she walks. Still, she is a tall woman who is well built and has fire left in her green eyes. Her old body hides a surprising strength she has managed to maintain since her youth.
Personality: Hardened and wise with her years, Etheniel is friendly enough but slow to trust others. She frequently helps others, but does so for her own vanity and for the rush when it comes to more dangerous tasks. This can lead her to be reckless and to take on tasks beyond her capabilities. She chases glory and adventure as she looks to recapture the joys of her younger days.
Equipment: Etheniel does not go anywhere without many varying scraps of fabric and pieces of thread hidden in pouches across her person.
Abilities: Etheniel has the ability to manipulate fabrics in a variety of ways. Her power is limited to what she is touching and other than that, her imagination. She can harden cloth to create shields and barriers, or manipulate strings into a deadly rapier. She can change the color, pattern, shape, material of her outfits with ease.
Backstory: To come later. I'd like to get more of a feel for her as a character and flesh out some of her backstory through RP before I come back to this.

[Gullara]

She looks very cool. That's not the sort of character you see too often.

[bc56]

I'd have to agree, it's a neat concept.

[Earl of Purple]

I might have to dust off Mrs. Bloodplunder. She's a retired barbarian adventurer, based- loosely- on Genghiz Cohen the Barbarian. I haven't used her in a long time. I initially planned on her son being the main character, but it turns out an old lady who can bend steel bars when she's angry is more fun than a half-orc sorcerer.

[Cute Earth]

Thank you for your kind words!

[Shadowcaller]

The following people need to post in riverside now:

Wolfy
Ashenlillies
Celticbear
Murkus

I can't really skip all these people, but I am giving you a reminder to post now.

[Ashen Lilies]

I intend to be busy tonight, so if I don't get to it I'll have posts up by tomorrow at the latest.

[Shadowcaller]

I should clarify, I'm not pushing people to post right away. Think it more as a reminder.

[Felandria]

Booping Zefir to the Olympian.

Also, The Olympian is a thing, in its own separate thread now, in case anyone wanted to visit.

[Morty]

Should I post in Vigil for the scene with Steve, Dave and Arden, or wait?

[bc56]

Sure. Dave isn't going to say anything until called on. I don't know about Arden though.

To everybody in Starside:

My life has gotten a whole lot more topsy turvy recently, so if you would all like to continue without me, go right ahead. I have no idea when I'll have a more stable sort of posting time available to me.

And to everyone else I have scenes with, thank you for being patient I will be posting when I can even if it's just a single post a night.

You're still posting back quicker than me, so nothing to worry about I say. Hope everything sorts itself out for you.

[HotPizza]

Hello, everyone! This looks like a nice place!

[Shadowcaller]

Looks good, just keep in mind that it might take a bit for anyone to reply to you.

[Morty]

I'll wait for HotPizza in Trog's before having my character react to the situation, now that he was made aware of it. Also it's either Holy Hunter's or 8bitninja's turn in Vigil.

[Nova_Eclipse]

Hey SC, it's your turn in MERC.

[Morty]

Are any of the windows in the pit stop already open, Earl?

[Earl of Purple]

Yes, a window into the spare bedroom. My fault; I should have spelt it out, and I didn't think properly.
