Elementals 3: The White Rose (OOC, FANTASY, OPEN)

Did Hakkon's maneuver nearly kill Katya? Oof, that's rough.

[Kassaran]

Not me up this late who has decided that tonight it's time to get p r o d u c t i v e^TM.

These theories are pretty interesting, especially the Displacement theory. The thought of a buncha fairies escaping to the moon in a rocket is kinda hilarious for me

Wonder if we're gonna meet a dragon or genie in a jar or fairies or other mythical beasts in the future

Well, Eric has met a bunch of magical beasts...offscreen of course.

Oooh. Which ones?

[Lazarian]

My only question is, as a Wind elemental, when is Katya gonna fly?

Great question!

Damn dude! There's no way I would be able to join this RP. It would feel weird trying to just jump in and join the lore. But I'll definitely be lurking around and reading what you guys post. Best of luck, and sorry for not being able to join.

Ah, sorry to hear. I will say that while there is a whole lot of lore, it's not that important, if that's the main obstacle.

Did Hakkon's maneuver nearly kill Katya? Oof, that's rough.

Yes! From an OOC perspective, it was super convenient. I actually missed Hakkon doing that on my first read (when I was trying to catch up), and I had meant for her to get separated since the first draft and couldn't figure out a good reason.

Missed a lot of great stuff on the first skim, actually. The crow narrator, burgernuts, Hakkon and the gravediggers, etc etc. Really good material recently.

Well, there was a giant half-spider travelling with a group for a bit. I think they're rare enough to where you wouldn't find anything within twenty miles of a city, but common enough to where a peasant that lives out in the boonies (or, say, Eric wandering around) wouldn't be surprised to encounter one - although that's up to Const, of course.

Minotaurs, some elves, a Lich, living rock people, some mermaids, fish people, some ogres...he's met quite a few.

So, Eric heard Willis' ruckus, Lisoette and Trish rushed after him and Belle ran into Aerion on the way there, as they arrived Aerion decided that Trish had somehow been involved and threatened her and Willis, and then Alexei showed up. Is that about right?

I think Lis encountered Aerion before any of the ruckus - that scene seemed an hour or two earlier.

Eric heard Willis’ ruckus, Lis and Trish (Tristan’s not there? Oops, my bad. Let me fix that then.) followed, and then Aerion bursts onto the scene, thinking Trish and Willis are working together. Possibly. Then Alexei and Katya show up, although Alexei doesn’t want to get involved with the situation and instead chit-chats with Trish.

The dialogue in the end can be rearranged and modified. Just wanted to have stuff for Trish to work with.

Well, Const's post mentions that Lisoette went to check out the ruckus after it interrupted her impromptu reunion, and then came across Aerion on the way there. Though I suppose I could be misinterpreting that. Probably doesn't matter too much, at any rate.

Yeah, Tristan and Hakkon weren't with Lisoette and Trish. I was going to have them arrive at the restaurant later but it looks like that's no longer the plan, so I'll probably have them circle back to the cemetery soon You're good on Alexei's end, I appreciate the interaction.

[Observation Post 13]

Sorry if I didn't mention anyone else in the scene. Looking forward to meeting Tristan and Hakkon!

[Lazarian]

I’ll wait for Aerion/Eric/Trish before I have a response for the uh, dance number.

and hit a PHAT DAB

[Constaniana]

That was not a plot development I was expecting. Most unusual.

You have the correct interpretation of when Lis bumped into Edgyrion.

Willis when he plows his carriage through a congested pedestrian crossing

Sorry to hear that; you're always welcome if you change your mind.

...speaking of there being too much lore, I finished adding another block to the races section in the OP. I meant to compile tech-level stuff and/or explanations of the magic system, but somehow over the past two nights I instead got the urge to write about the presence of non-human/Elemental people in Gaiaca.

This is pretty cool. Now I've got the hankering to make one of them nonhuman kind, but looking at the number of characters I have, probably not the best of ideas.

I guess Dragon Gods really do have a habit of popping up now and again in P2TM fantasy

For folks wondering why Ev can speak Sahranjjan, it is for the same reason that he could pilot a ship back in Carogne: he spent the years between the Great Gallian War and the Wide Northern War as a gun-deck officer on an armed merchantman sailing to and from Garmiccia and Sahranjja and beyond. It's apparently the part of his bio that allows him to serve as an endlessly useful deus ex machina.

Welcome back! Great to see you again! It’s good to have Everard back in action.

On a completely unrelated note, what is a “torc”? Is it a pair of bracelets (that’s all Google is showing me)?

Some Old Man Henderson vibes there

Great work as always, Norv.

More of a neck ring according to my own google search. Rigid thing made of a single piece of metal that you wear around the neck. Mind you I could be wrong, I looked it up for all of three seconds.

EDIT: And there's a post catching Trish up. I was going to have Tristan and Hakkon arrive, but I decided the post was getting quite long as is

[Observation Post 13]

These are some great posts!

On another note, I've noticed a recurring theme with demons. What's up with that?

Edit: Love the translation bit lol

What recurring theme are you referring to?

[Woodstovia]

okay my prologue is gonna be a little artsy, but is also an unreliable narrator on 2 levels so you are free to call any percentage of it bullshit

Okay, let's see... the battle from 19th of December, 1781 G.C.C, the claw mark on Ev's armor, and Timur's arm - seems to imply that everyone in town is dealing with some kind of demonic menace. Where are the demons coming from? Is there a hive full of little satans somewhere on Thin Isles? Besides the efforts undertaken by the adventurers, what actions have the military/government of Thin isle done so far against the threat? Why are the demons invading? And can we eat them?
