Speaking of rampant water abuse by our favorite GM, I forgot to uh, post my idea for my leveled skill.

For like two weeks. Uhm. Yeah.

Anyway, formerly Meltwater:

Pegaea

Element: White, Yellow
Level: 2
Effect: A gift of her race, Sao is able to shift at will from her human guise to a form of liquid water. While still young by the standards of other naiads, Sao is learning control over her dual nature.

As she has refined her technique, she is now able to be more selective about which limbs undergo their watery transformation. More skill has also allowed her to re-form her limbs into their human shapes more quickly.

This ability should still not be used around temperature extremes, as her liquid state is not immune to freezing or evaporation.

That was, like, 15-20 minutes after you left.

Curses, my expectations have been dashed! Why would you betray me like this Riin!? Krylo I understand. But you? I-I f-feel so-so hurt!

Yeah, as you can see, there's no post and (according to my clock) its also 6:30 am. Faaaar too late to proof read, and I'm also tired. Will try to post tomorrow. Oh, if you need to blame someone for the delay, blame Steel, because he's the one who distracted me with a free trial of a new MMO. I will, of course, resist playing more until the post is up!

Incidentially, Riin's post (approved) reminded me that I still haven't heard from Bard on the matter of his new skill! So Bard, what'll it be? Hmmm? Hmmm!?

Steel Shadow · 08-26-2011, 12:17 PM

I regret nothing, I've been trying to get you to play that game for months!

Ill send a PM over to you soon to get your opinion on it.

Teal Mage · 08-26-2011, 07:54 PM

Map. I'm not sure if everyone's been paying attention to these! Please do. Especially since you weren't all mentioned in my last post.

In case it isn't clear, Jo, Dal and Shuyin were teleported in starbursts of black light, into a Magical Tea House (Pavilion, in the map) that was also newly teleported to the top of the Field. It appeared in front of Chou and Astarte, but behind Sean, who is still running toward Hannah.

Questions? I'm not sure how clear my post was.

Edit: Ninja'd Bard! Oh, and speaking of Bard, Sean's Blizzard spell was mysteriously boosted by something. That is why it turned black and orange!

Edit2: Oh, and yes, Jay was ignored. Astarte, Kohana and Chou weren't directly addressed either, but I remember you're there. Feel free to join any of the scenes in progress. I'll be PMing Overcast and Drac soon as well.

Edit3: Overcaaaaast, clear some space in your Inbox!

Alright boys and girls, because one of the scenes is now officially a Social Combat one, in which multiple people are talking to a single person, I'm going to put some special rules in place for the people in the Shuyin Tent. Right now, its just Arhra and Krylo, so, it'll be pretty simple. One of them will post (Krylo, in this case), then Shuyin will reply to them, afterward the other player will post (Arhra, in this round's case), and Shuyin will reply to them. This'll go on until I decide that it'll stop for the turn.

If one of the players wants to skip their turn and let the other continue their line of conversation uninterrupted, I request that they post in the OoC that they pass.

In regards to the other Fighty Fight scenes (concerning Vines and Hannah respectively) the standard rules will apply here. However, I will only be waiting for the players directly involved and committed to these scenes to post, before posting myself. I suspect there'll be at least a day's delay between this, probably more though.

To review.

1) Sean, Jack and Kohana are the people I'm waiting for in the Hannah Scene.
2) Sao's the only Player I'll be waiting for in the Vine Scene.
3) Jo and Dal are the only players currently active in the Shuyin scene.

To the rest of you (Astarte, Chou and Jay) it'll be up to you to make your own individual entrances to the scenes. I won't wait for you unless you contact me over PM and ask for it.

Questions anyone?

Arhra · 08-29-2011, 04:15 AM

And so Jo reveals her true power: switching the speaker whenever she feels like it.

Also, all signs point to The Conspiracy.

Apologies dear, would have done this sooner would I have not had several days of anti-internet. The inbox should be clearer about ten minutes after this post. On my mark.

Bard The 5th LW · 09-01-2011, 09:36 PM

Greater Blizzard: With this newer and improved version of the older blizzard ability, Sean is now capable of dealing a more noticeable impact upon his target then the snowball that was the original attack. At level two, it is basically an overall upgrade. The range and width of attack is slightly longer and larger, and the effect carries a stronger impact overall. The shards of ice are sharper and thicker, capable of leaving marks without taking as much time to charge. It has drawbacks though. The more powerful nature of it requires Sean to hold steady ground, meaning that there is no running and gunning to be done. It takes a stronger physical toll as well, fatiguing Sean psychically and some of the attack even recoils, leaving a weak sheet of ice and snow on Sean's hands.

It may also have some other mysterious not yet defined improvisational uses! The previous ability has been renamed 'lesser blizzard.'

A post will be done when its done.

Teal Mage · 09-01-2011, 09:50 PM

And now, one of the PCs has a move that is equivilant to Shuyin's Ceremonial Torrent.

Grats!

Also approved. It should be noted that the Greater Blizzard ability's size is variable, but the default is roughly equal to a basketball. Not quite as bit as Ceremonial Torrent, but still roughly as strong!

Also: I'm not sure when my next post will be, I'm probably going to be busy over the weekend.
