Magical Teacher Professor Landry! - Discussion 4: Battles Take Too Long! - Page 6

Am... Am I last? Damnit! This post just didn't want to write itself.

In my defence, Rift extended it's double rewards week by another week. Who can resist that sort of temptation?!

Steel Shadow · 09-13-2011, 08:39 AM

So, I did a terrible thing.

Teal Mage · 09-17-2011, 12:36 AM

I did a worse one.

I actually posted! First half is found in the Episode 3, Bad End. Second half in Episode 4, The Lady in White. Please read both and reply in the latter! I thought I'd try this way, as an experiment.

Map:

Dracorion and Bard may want to PM the beginning of their actions next turn to me, so I can feed them reactions. Others may also possibly need to that too, but those two almost definitely need to.

To review: Inside the pavilion, Dal, Jo and Astarte aren't able to see out, but are treated to a shadow version of the battle outside. The sounds and images imply that the battle is going well. In general, you shouldn't believe you're needed outside.

Questions?

Edit: Oh, and for the sake of speeding things along, I coordinated this post with players, to try and get small reactions from their characters and add them to my post. The fights, hopefully, will take less time if I don't need to pause every few seconds to get a reaction to each failed punch, or surprise evasion.

This is a Magical Teacher Professor Landry GM Service Announcement!

After about two weeks of being buried under work/sick, I've finally started to work on my next Update again. Turns out I've run into a little snag in-post though! Bard, your Inbox on the Forums is full. I require some clarification/input on an excellent opportunity for Sean in-game!

Hannah is open! You have a charged attack! You might want to blow her up!

Unfortunately, your In-Box is full and you don't use the Landry EduPad (I don't blame you), so (double) posting in the Discussion is the only way I can contact you. Here's hoping you check! I'll give you further details of the exact scene in PM, if you desire, over PM (but you need to clean out your Inbox first). But, if you don't contact me in some way before I finish the other scenes (probably by Sunday or Monday), I'll decide if Sean makes the attack myself, using your previous post as a guideline.

Here's a hint! He'll probably shoot her. Its a great opening and he seems mad!

Bard The 5th LW · 10-08-2011, 06:17 PM

INBOX EMPTY

Teal Mage · 10-10-2011, 03:52 AM

Very delayed post! I cut some things out because it was taking too long already. Reviewing big changes!

1) Diana is back and possibly more powerful than ever!

2) There is some random Old Lady behind Kohana. I'm sure she's entirely pointless.

3) Hannah's down, maybe!

4) The weird illusions on Shuyin's tea-house are now gone.

5) Jay's been tied up.

6) Sao's legs have been covered in quartz. This may be broken by some concerted effort! But, Sao will need to be helped by Chou if she wants out immedidately, since she's kinda tired after getting magic highjacked...somehow. It is mysterious.

Anyway, to address Jay's sudden being tied up; normally, I wouldn't do that sort of thing so aburptly. However! I understand that some people, ahem, leaked what I told them in confidence about the results of Jay's unedited action, and that caused Overcast to change his mind about the post. This is, effectively, the very definition of Meta-Gaming. Using out-of-character knowledge (like the results of an action) to alter the way your character would act in game.

I don't tolerate this. If you're gonna edit your actions, they better get more in-character, not less. So! Jay has been tied up with Hannah's standard vines. They're not breakable without Magic. Fortunately, Jay has a Strength Surge skill, if he can get the emotional intensity up to care and trigger his powers, they won't be hard to break. However, it'll cost him magic in-game.

Anyway, questions?

Angel of death is South East bound and closing fast! Is this the time to start panicking?

Bard The 5th LW · 10-12-2011, 10:12 PM

The edpad resulted in this

Bees, if you're out there, we need you.

Teal Mage · 10-31-2011, 08:29 AM

*ahem*

Will be finishing up the last of my PMs tonight, probably. As you can see, I posted! Also updated the Map (as of my GM post - Chou's moved since):

...I would assume AB knows that Astarte's just sorta standing there threateningly right now, right? Her spells are cast, but she's still beside Sean (nothing about 'moving' in that post) and Shuyin's a fair distance off, behind what-might-be some magic curtains. Chances are, he can't hear you, but you can see his back. If you want to edit the post to some effect, feel free. Otherwise, I'll read it as is.

Oh, and Bard needs to clear out his inbox again!

Arhra · 11-04-2011, 11:18 AM

Hey AB, you might want to consider swearing by the Ennead, because "Egyptian gods" just sounds weird and redundant.

Can you imagine someone swearing by their 'Christian God' or similar? It boggles the mind!
