Sorry, Phoenix, I won't interfere with anything you have planned, I promise! It's just that it is a chain, and that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I thought of a chain parry. Can you IM me on MSN?

Funka Genocide · 05-22-2006, 08:23 PM

sorry about jerking things up it seems, I've got a habit of just going with the first thing that pops into my head. I hope I didn't mess things up too much for ya' Phoenix. It's good to have you back though, I spent an awful lot of time just looking up rules in your absence, heh heh.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled RP, already in progress...

I kind of thought that might be the case, but I wasn't sure from reading. They were rather ambiguous with the wording. As they are from time to time.

So she'd only have to roll 4+sux to avoid the parry then, had she not gone all charmy.

Edit: Also, does committed essence come from personal or peripheral?

Raiden · 05-22-2006, 11:06 PM

It can come from either, Krylo. Though I recommend committing Peripheral. Personal Essence is valuable when you don't want to get caught.

Krylo · 05-22-2006, 11:15 PM

I assume it doesn't ignite the effects of using peripheral essence, then?

Raiden · 05-23-2006, 12:24 AM

Well, I commit all my weapons to Peripheral, and I've yet to be called on having to have my Caste Mark shown.

So...no, it doesn't show off your true nature.

Dragonsbane · 05-23-2006, 08:35 AM

If I recall correctly, yes it does, but not permanently. It's the same as if you expended those motes of Peripheral Essence, but haven't regained them yet. The effect shows, but slowly fades to nothing in accordance with the Peripheral Essence rules. This is why attuning is usually done in private. :p

That's how my first character was discovered as an Anathema, he was in his section of the tomb, retrieving his armor, and walked back into the main room just as an Abyssal and a Dragonblood with a group of elite troops appeared.

By order of the co-GM, I shall now tell you that we have all recieved another 6XP. Have fun.

PhoenixFlame · 05-23-2006, 06:03 PM

Actually, I was intending to give out the XP at the halfway mark of each thread, so... Disregard that. Given what's been done, 12 xp is far, far too much.

And Krylo, you manage to leap right over the guards without difficulty. Poor guards...

Dragonsbane · 05-24-2006, 08:41 AM

Phoenix, it isn't our fault if the game has been going slowly. It's been more than a week now, we deserve some exp, especially since things are starting to heat up. Furthermore, since you're enforcing training time for Charms, we NEED to get the exp for them quickly if we want to use them at all, ever. Some of the characters can function just fine with the Charms they have, such as Tomasu, but some of us will still have three Charms to go in order to get our Form Charm and we need the exp to get there.

Besides, a thread is much longer than a session, and 4-6 exp is about how much is given per session. If you give it out at the midway only, we'll advance much slower than we're supposed to.

[edit] Also, post, I'm sitting in that alley room waiting for the Abyssal to respond or do something.
