Exalted: Glorious Solar RP Logs

[Arhra]

KRYLO EDIT: This is now the log thread! I figure this will keep things a bit more organized/easier to find. Continue to direct conversation to original thread.

Today we discovered:

1) We have been hired by an idiot.

2) He is made out of money.

3) We lack sympathy for slavers.

4) Distance is a thing.

5) Random guardsmen will believe our lies.

6) It's a traaaaaap!

7) We can just not go with the suspiciously cheap boat fare.

AMAZING.

[Arhra]

Lyna is dead.

She's gone!

But she's right there on our backs, and here in our hearts! She lives on as a part of us! If you're gonna sail, sail to the heavens. No matter what's in our way, we won't stop! Once we've sailed past - it means that we've won!

Just who the hell do you think we are?!

[Arhra]

Hey remember when we realised that solving all our problems by riding a magical hurricane to wherever we want was totally a thing we could do?

BECAUSE IT WAS TOTALLY A THING WE COULD DO!!!

[Arhra]

Last week we got cut a litle short due to the forums crashing.

We learned:

1) We must take the Ring to Mordor.

2) The Ring is zombie plague.

3) Mordor is the Mouth of Oblivion.

4) We must take Kaimi's family to An-Teng.

5) Because Abyssals might murder them otherwise.

6) Syren is not a team player due to his hatred of An-Teng.

7) The team loves the brainwashing.

[Dracorion]

Blah blah.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Alright, it's a little messy, but better than before.

[Arhra]

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[Arhra]

Evening everybody!

Here is the log! It should be formatted properly for notepad and, in a fit of Orwellian reality enhancement, I also ran the spellchecker on it.

(None of us can spell when typing fast.)

Today we discovered that battlegrounds are full of phat lewt, that manses are wonderful and that manses are made of explodium.

[Arhra]

So we might have a cult and probably have to learn a foreign language!

Golden Lord is a pretty OK dude, but he didn't help us a huge lot. The Terrible Abyssal Secret is bound to come in handy though.

Hooray!

[Arhra]

What's this?! Such formatting!!!

[Arhra]

Today I defused a ticking timebomb.

You're welcome!

Oh and Jubal lost his precious magic rocks and his shadow. At least the shadow will grow back.

Such activities!

[Arhra]

Why is it that we seem to murder almost everyone we meet?

Also, the Deathlords may be in league with forces from beyond the stars.

[Steel Shadow]

Lessons learned:

1. Lytek is cool! But should not be left in the same room as Calm for longer than-... Ever.
2. Storms was pretty cool, for a Lion. Shame he never wants to see us again.
3. Sidereals have no concept of privacy.
4. Syren is such a stalker.
5. Deathlord based memories in our heads? Where do we sign up?!
6. The Perfect of Paragon is a dick, but his city is probably one of the 'nicest' in Creation. Moral dilemma!
7. Elly solves moral dilemmas with a sword.
8. Look out world, Neeran is lookin' for love!
9. Look out Neeran, the women in our party are terrifying! And also oblivious.
10. Garret, Elly, and Jubal were left to their own devices in Yu Shan, and there was no disaster. All three would like medals.

And, for you lazy people who didn't show up for half the game, I shall try to attach the (not quite complete) log!

[Steel Shadow]

Well that was actually a pretty interesting fight! When the armies began advancing and the field started becoming a flaming wasteland, things did start to feel pretty epic!

Lessons learned:

1. Ok, next time an evil Abyssal shows up carrying a big sack and with a very obvious scheme afoot, I will steal said bag before he gets started.
2. Neeran can totally just walk up to a place and get people to tie themselves up. This is both useful, and slightly terrifying.
3. Once the fight begins, Elly has no mercy. None.
4. Spell-casting in combat is almost always a bad idea. Meanwhile, even if everyone has sneak attack detectors, stealth is amazing. I don't think that Abyssal saw it coming. Well, that was the point, really.
5. Jubal and Kaimi working together to set up a field of traps? Awesome results.
6. We really need to get proper access to Solar level spells at some point. They're amazing.
7. Semara's destiny approaches. She will hit a big thing with a super big thing soon enough! Until then, she can hurt things that even give Elly trouble!
8. Calm is a little too eager to smash Solar Manses.
9. Behemoths are big. I want one.
10. Masky probably still thinks he can take us. I would very much like to dissuade him of this foolish notion.

Game Log:

[Arhra]

Ultimate showdown checklist!

Can the Solars Win?
Hell yes.

Will Elly prove herself worthy of her Exaltation?
Stabs shown: all of them.

Will Jubal survive the fight?
Did anyone doubt that Jubal, HERO OF THE REALM, would emerge from the final battle glorious and triumphant?

Will Semara ever get to concert again?
Every time I stop, and stumble and doubt in darkness, I close my eyes and think back to you. We made a vow, a promise, to carry onwards - I'll see it through!

Will Calm get to blow up the manse?
Alas, no.

Will Garret steal something impossible to steal?
It still eludes his grasp. Stealing the Mask of Winter's mask comes pretty close though.

Will Kai ever finish her damn spell?
In time-skips, all things are possible!

[Arhra]

We saved all of the bacon.

Pray for a future peace in Creation!

[Arhra]

Huuuuuugs.

I am feeling very tired, so further commentary is going to have to wait until tomorrow.

[Steel Shadow]

In this epsiode of Dead waters:

1. Deserts are full of sand!
2. Elly and Kaimi cannot be trusted with their drink intakes.
3. Solar Style Parkor!
4. Terrible Criminals.
5. A meeting with a curtain!
6. Skullstone is great.
7. Dawn v. Dawn!
8. Many dead seagulls.
9. Glorious Solar Theft!
10. Glorious Solar Murder.

[Girasol of Chaos]

What I learned:

1. Don't let Kai drink the bar dry. Cuz I'm pretty sure that's what she did to actually get drunk in the first place.
2. We never found out what a Wookiee was, but clearly "Sherlock" is one of them, and they are not to be trifled with.
3. You can fail at being a criminal
4. Syren loves showing up at bad times
5. We only compliment Jubal when he's not around
6. Garret is getting a change in Hearthstone! Yesssss

[Arhra]

Today we discovered:

1) Conflicts of interest are terrible.

2) Problems solving themselves freaks Elly out.

3) Riding magical hurricanes is still totally a thing we can do and the solution to all our problems.

4) Semara is the undisputed chopsticks master.

5) Mud-fights.

6) Nakiim needs a chaperone if he's going to be spending any time around Syren.

[Steel Shadow]

Oh hey, we didn't log last weeks game? Well I've stuck it in here as well, even if the only important things that happened were Semara getting a book and Syren kidnapping a mortal.

Also Game 25 was very, very long and I had to cut it down as much as I could to upload it. This included a few lines of OOC stuff once we got started. Alas.

THIS WEEK, ON DEAD WATERS 25:

1. We actually do stuff in the west for the first time since, like, Game 4. Hooray!
2. Garret learns a new trick that he does not abuse nearly enough!
3. A corridor kicks our asses.
4. Trial and error is utilised on live essence canons, It goes about as well as you'd expect.
5. GARY ONLY WANTS PEACE AND LOVE!
6. Kaimi gets a new toy!
7. Jubal learns his place!
8. Sione is adorable!
9. Syren smashes doors!
10. Elly investigates!
11. Semara takes a tour!
12. Garret is invisible!
And much much more!

[Arhra]

Hmm, this has become kinda patchy.

Anyway, a new challenger appears?!

[Arhra]

Oh hey, it's the last two session logs!

In the first, we found out that the Silver Pact is alright, and in the second, we started collecting all the allies! Wheeeee!

[Steel Shadow]

I'm actually not sure how many we're missing now!

[Arhra]

We finally got to the Realm, hooray!

And due to various people being unable to be around, the dragonblooded got their moment in the sun.

NEVER AGAIN!

[Arhra]

Today we had much sneaking, a deadly showdown in the Imperial Manse, a hero nobly beating himself up to stop the fighting, Luthe becoming embroiled in a SIDEREAL PLOT, somebody shouting at a storm to make it go away and then everyone fell into Hell through a trapped Yu-Shan gateway.

How is this going to end?!

Find out next week in Dead Waters: Heaven or Hell!

[Arhra]

Anyone taken up Yozi-spotting?

'cause we sure saw a few.

[Arhra]

Demons have great liquor and confusing ways of making more demons!

The Ebon Dragon is kind of a dick!

Also, there was fighting!

[Arhra]

Despair! We are in a state of despair!

And also Hell.

Also we may be in proximity to none other than HER IMPERIAL REDNESS.

[Arhra]

The dragonblooded had both bureaucracy AND a party without us, but we got to meet Her Redness, hooray!

[Arhra]

Would the real Empress please stand up?

Nah, I'm just kidding. We found the Empress. Both of them.
