A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
A Faerie Affair
Out of Character IV: Petal to the Metal
Welcome back friends! We've finally made it to our fourth official OOC thread for A Faerie Affair. As always, this thread is for all out-of-character chat, witty observations, good-natured debate and so on. Try to keep dice rolls in the IC thread, but you can use this one to avoid double-posting, etc. I'll be keeping this post and the one after it up to date with useful and/or entertaining information, so check back regularly! Old OOC threads will be archived on Wayback Machine, if you need to refer to anything in them.

Those ground rules again:
- No PvP. Including theft.
- When we're in initiative order, please post in the IC thread at least once per day. If you can't do that, make sure you let me know in advance.
- When in combat, please include a summary of your character's current status in your IC posts. Include as a minimum: Name, HP, AC, Passive Perception, Save DCs. At least once per page, if you can.
- The DM's decision is final.
- Magenta (FF00FF), Deep Magenta (CC00CC), Purple (800080) and Blackberry (4D0036) are reserved for the DM and NPCs.
And clarifications:
- All human-shaped fey (so not faerie dragons) are affected by humanoid-only spells and effects, such as Calm Emotions and Hold Person.
- Creatures that are immune to Sleep still subtract HP from the pool.
- A ‘critical hit’ is always a hit, regardless of AC.
- Magic items cannot be identified without the Identify spell.
- A natural one on a d20 roll is always an automatic fail, and a natural 20 is always an automatic success. Ties in contested rolls go to the PC.
- You may elect to deal non-lethal damage with a ranged weapon. If you do so, you suffer a -5 to-hit modifier.
- All NPCs are speaking in Sylvan, except where noted using triangle brackets.
- Wild Magic: wild mages must roll for Wild Magic whenever they cast a spell of 1st level or higher. If a Wild Magic Surge happens, that effect replaces whatever spell they were trying to cast. If a wild mage wishes to recharge their Tides of Chaos ability, they must declare it before casting a spell. In this case, the spell is an automatic Wild Magic Surge.
- Druids can keep any temporary hit points they may have when entering a Wildshape.
- Spells that can cause multiple hits, such as magic missile and scorching ray, can trigger multiple concentration saves if used against a single creature.
- Permanent magic items are indestructible by mundane means. You need equally powerful magic to 'sunder' them.

Elendar Illistyn, a drow elite who attacked you while you were travelling between the courts. All of his team were killed and he was captured; you turned him in to Soren's security forces.
The children, 9 humanoid children who live in Soren's court. Kind of like his pets?
Spoiler: WardrobesAstra: "she is dressed in an off-white summer dress. Though it does attempt some modest embellishment with pleats and seam color, it is still quite plain and fit for any lowly commoner.

Kor: dragon-style.
Kyu: travelling clothes.
Opal: in court.
Ori: adventuring gear.
Violet: flower petal dress. As per image.Last edited by Ninja_Prawn; 2022-06-02 at 04:36 PM.

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
Oh nice! New thread and a wardrobe section now!
When we get back to Soren's court I really hope Astra can get a new outfit.
lol I had a thought. If Jack had managed to dye Astra blue, she would be upset but take the punishment and arrive in Soren's court like that. Maybe because she thought maybe she deserved it, but mainly to try to prove that Jack was really mad over nothing. Then, I would laugh so hard if all the Faerie nobles started dying their skin weird colors cause it was the "new fashion"!Avatar by linklele!

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
Level 5, right you are.
The wardrobe section's been around for a while actually. It could probably use an update... what are Violet and Akiko wearing?
And a blue skin fashion would have been fun! Maybe it's not too late for that...Lydia Seaspray by Oneris!

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
Violet has a picture on her sheet, but she's current wearing her dress, the dress she made out of fallen flower petals, carefully glued together, the colors aligned. It's lovely, but maybe not the most durable thing in the world.
Edit: It's been a long day, for Violet.Last edited by Archmage1; 2019-06-12 at 03:45 PM.

I don't think Kor's going to change his fashion anytime soon, unless he suddenly ages 10 years.

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
I'm always scared of Kyu blowing someone up whenever I cast a spell. But I think we're starting to leave the "A single fireball will kill all of us" territory. So a nukyular bomb shouldn't be the worse problem.

Guess she's not interested in the big scary Drow making a ruckus. Or she's just that tired.

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
Yeah, I mean, the cart is joined to the donkey, but there's enough give in the harness that any ruckus in the cart wouldn't necessarily disturb Violet. And she is very sleepy.
I do assume you've ground to a halt for the time being, though.Lydia Seaspray by Oneris!

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
Smart move, to gag the drow. I had already checked his spells to see if there are any that are verbal-only, and he would have cast one by now if it would have been useful to him.

We should have someone on watch too, who might notice if the drow successfully makes a run for it.

Re: A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal
You can lift the exhaustion if you caught up on rest during the morning. I'm assuming you took turns sleeping, so all the tiny people are able to recover somewhat.
