@Random Word LUCIEN HAS GAINED: Expression 1: Blood Elemental Your bloodstream has been replaced with a symbiotic entity, powerfully disinclined to be removed from its new vessel or to permit it to die. Your wounds will not bleed for long, lost blood will make great effort to be reunited with...

Approval, and something like... gratitude. Your numb form is rolled over, and you briefly behold the blank and infinite white sky, the edges of the rooftops like charcoal scratches on paper. Then your head lolls further, and you see your benefactor. Somewhere, in a deep, animal part of you, a...

Warm approval washes over your mind - strongly reminscent of your grandmother's voice the first time you outfoxed her in a game of chess. Strange how that grand old dame never seemed to succumb to age, her razor intellect never dimmed, until one night in her sleep... Could the rumours have been...

It gets us all. For clarity, the entity communicates in images and vibes so you can nudge me to clarify if I'm not making it comprehensible enough or, if it gets annoyed enough, it'll summon a lackey to interpret.

And now is when I see all the typos 🙃

For Lucien You feel a sudden surge of... pity. Not yours. Then frustration, mild like one might feel for a child refusing to eat, tempered with care. A vision of a yawning void assails you, an all-encompassing antithesis to existence. A warning, but not a threat.

Also added some magical theories to the Lore thread in case anyone will want to have in-character arguments about it.

Magical Theory Doctrinal Theory: According to the Church, all Magic proceeds from Demonic influence. The form which most concerns them is the inherent Magic of the legendary Magi, those said to have made compacts with devils or to be born of a blasphemous union, able to wield Magic through...

Alright, list updated. Still need to add the final six patrons, the Integrators, but they're unlikely to choose anyone in the party to patronize. Would of course be curious to hear any speculations and interpretations of the patrons, in order to further refine the text.

Potential Patrons Lux Tyranis, Illuminor-King, Who Sits The Nuclear Throne, Radiant Blade of The Infinite Horizon, Brooks-No-Shadow, First And Final Blood, Commander of the Endless Host, The Ur-Monarch, The First Symbol of Royalty, Hydrogen Saint of Fusion, Whose Light Severs, Warrior Without...

Hang on lemme put the patron master list in the Lore thread. I'll cut the ones that are unlikely to choose anyone of our motley crew but might be backing eventual antagonists.

Mechanically, you choose a social context and tag three skills. When you use any of those skills in the relevant context, get a bonus die. For example: Familiarity - Kelene Nobility with Mingling, Persuasion, and Subterfuge tagged would mean any time you use those skills in a social interaction...

Any of the Nightmares would take an especial interest. Margenta and Ebroad in particular, The Unspeakable for the nuclear option. Tentham may see potential in him. I don't think any Scourges or Avengers would necesarily apply. Iorantus, whose purview includes lust for knowledge, would be a fun...

All good, didn't realize you'd been making updates. I've just been swamped at work but I've got a couple of days off now so you and Mere will get into posts soon. Do you have a preference for patron solidified? I can see a few that would apply. I'd also appreciate some narrative context for the...

Thinking on @Random Word 's helpful probability calculations, I should discuss my philosophy on mechanical engagement. Assume your character has a Skill at Rank 3, they have all the time they need to complete a task, the proper tools, and no opposition. We can generally say they just succeed...

The site lives once more, how about the rest of you?

Mostly I avoid all human interaction for a day or so and sleep for 12-14 hours to make up for my terrible sleeping habits on workdays, other times cannot be discussed on a Good Christian Website.

I was busy over the weekend, doing some necessary psychological recharging. Updates on various things as need it uhhh soon.
