A Faerie Affair - OOC IV: Petal to the Metal

[Archmage1]

So many flowers!
Hopefully, that all makes sense to everyone?

[Majin]

Misty gets one of red roses and bells of ireland

Man, I wonder if anyone in-universe wonders what "Ireland" is

[Archmage1]

It's the name of the flower, so presumably not at all.

And if people are wondering why other PC's didn't get garlands too... yes, there is a reason.

(Also, if it wasn't clear, Violet's perfectly happy to help everyone, but garlands first. :) )

[Ninja_Prawn]

I think we'll call those 'shellflowers' in the Realms.

[Archmage1]

And updated!

In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have given everyone one at the same go, but such is life, and Violet was excited.

[Archmage1]

In other news, would you like me to post Violet's plans for musically gardening? I promise, it'll only take her 8 hours, but it'll be really helpful!

[Archmage1]

Anywho, I've been thinking about this for a bit.

The garland post... was not really what it should have been. I tried doing too much in one go. Would you mind if I removed it, and re-did it, in a far more limited fashion?

Yeah, go ahead. I've not really gotten around to formulating a response yet.

[Archmage1]

Well... I suppose I really, really need to stop relying on the email alerts. Reading posts now.

[Majin]

Yeah, I feel like they have been somewhat unreliable.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Can I just say, I really like Kor's druidic philosophy. It's got just the right level of seriousness and gravity to fit into the setting, whilst also adding an interesting layer to Kor's easygoing attitude. Like, he appears to do whatever he wants and to succeed at things through luck, but actually there is a logic underlying his actions, and it's no coincidence when things go his way. He's definitely a good influcence on the human children.

[Archmage1]

Kor is a very good druid indeed. Subtle, but when roused, not so much.

Violet, in comparison... not so amazing. Downsides of being probably insane.
And she still hasn't been told what the hunt's about.

[Majin]

Thanks, I appreciate that! I've been thinking druidic philosophy comes pretty easily to him, since he's naturally close to nature. But he's also naturally not that serious, so I'm glad the combination isn't working.

Uh-oh, sounds like Violet might be in for a bit of a surprise.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Just to clarify, which 'others' is Violet referring to?

[Archmage1]

Other children, in this case.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Oh right, yeah, because they're in different rooms. You can find Kor, Kyu, Raven, Anja, Jack, Mitch and Lucinda easily enough. Tadd and Astra are a bit out of the way right now.

[Archmage1]

Excellent! I've got some reading to do, and a headache to wait out before Violet'll join the afterparty.

[WindStruck]

I feel like I should be much farther ahead, but I've barely done anything in these past weeks with the few, tiny updates.

[WindStruck]

Ooh, juicy drama!

How long ago does it say that this happened to Tadd? And how far away is Shadowdale?

[Ninja_Prawn]

Like... Maybe 30 years ago? Shadowdale isn't super far away. It's vaguely to the northwest if I recall correctly; you should be able to find it on a map.

[WindStruck]

Interesting.. I thought so. Yeah, I'm just not sure that will work at this point.

By the way, the way his story is, Tadd reminds me of this.

[Archmage1]

It's be really fun to visit! We could look around, and make sure everyone knows how to make a proper pillow, and make sure their gardens are ok, and we could even say hi, maybe, if they're really nice!

[WindStruck]

Just remembered, I think I'm definitely going to need to make a persuasion roll. If not now, probably for the next update...

Spoiler: roll

Show

persuasion: (1d20+5)[20]

[Archmage1]

And now, almost all the children have garlands! If only we had a camera...

[Archmage1]

And now, the players seek each other! But will they succeed? Will they uncover the mystery of Tadd's past, or the mystery of the palace? Find out next time, in A Faerie Affair!

[Majin]

Are we yet all in the same room?

[WindStruck]

I'm not sure if you all left the area, but Astra came back to the place we were originally at with all the kids.

[Archmage1]

Violet did leave the area, but came back with kids and garlands, and garlands on kids! All the children(Except for Tadd) now have a wonderful garland.

I'm just waiting for confirmation that times are synced, and everyone's there before giving Tadd his.

[WindStruck]

Well Astra was doing something secret with Tadd, but they're back now. You can definitely give him a garland.

[Archmage1]

And Violet doesn't want to upstage Astra, but, well, Violet's spells, while much less useful in a lot of situations, are a bit more visually impressive. Thus, wondering if Astra wants help.
