[Feantari]

xarvh if the plan is to have my DK ready for upcoming scenes let me know. I have a sheet worked out and some ideas knocking around, but am going to be fairly occupied with work, family, and wedding things this week and this weekend. Will try to post for other thread late tonight.

Question for @xarvh -- can mortals enlightened by an Exalt learn Excellencies? Or are they restricted to Charms without an Excellency prerequisite?

 

[xarvh]

Excellencies are charms like all others. Enlightened mortals in general can't learn Exalted charms.


If you have something that allows a mortal to learn an Exalted charm, then that something can be used for excellencies as well, unless the books say otherwise.

Should I roll int + lore to determine what the hell is that thing we stumbled upon ?

 

[xarvh]

Either a trap or a sensor of some sort. Rolls wouldn't be useful here.

@CrazyIvan -- Don't know if you saw, but there's a new scene up for exploring the Manse.

@CrazyIvan -- Don't know if you saw, but there's a new scene up for exploring the Manse.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[CrazyIvan]

Xarvh - any word on whether Manse is just easy mode and opens because Fangs tells it to?

 

[xarvh]

Sorry guys, was busy being obsessed with yet another of my obscure ideas ( https://github.com/xarvh/blueswarm if you are interested into genetic algorithms and synthetic life).


The Manse door is not supposed to be much of a challenge but, being built by First Age Celestials, there is some degree of security wankery in it.

 

[Kacie]

@CrazyIvan -- occurs to me that if we can find a copy of that spell that makes things whole, we could go ahead and attempt to break into the manse, since we could repair it later.


That said, I'd rather have Fangs use her extreme understanding of Sorcery and high essence to hack our way in, in the cyber-punk use of the word "hack" instead of the sword'n'sorcery use of the word.

 

[cyl]

Can't Fangs get in like Flicker did ?

 

[Kacie]

@xarvh -- Cyl asks a good question. I'd thought the DKs met with the representative of Two Worlds inside the manse? Or do the DKs have a separate stronghold next to the manse?

 

[xarvh]

Nope. They met in the Manse.


Yes, Fangs can definitely get in the way Flicker did.

 

[Kacie]

Flicker and Malek would have told Mirror and Fangs how to get into the Manse, wouldn't they?

 

[CrazyIvan]

How *did* Flicker get in?

 

[cyl]

Like air does, through the holes in the stone.


Doors don't usually mean much to those who can alter their size.

 

[Kacie]

And Malek didn't actually go inside, correct?

 

[cyl]

Nope. Why do you ask ? Afraid something got "misplaced" ? >

 

[Kacie]

No, I'm trying to clarify geography.

 

[cyl]

IIRC Flicker went up the roof and down the ventilation system.

 

[xarvh]

The manse is not sealed and the outer walls, while covered in thick dirt, are cracked in several points.


While the cracks are far too small for anything human sized, a smaller animal could penetrate easily.


Fangs and Mirror have been briefed extensively by Flicker and Malek. Feel free to read the whole thing: http://www.rpdom.com/threads/chapter-6-scene-14-together.58716/ =)

 

[Kacie]

@CrazyIvan -- If there are cracked panels, they'll have to be replaced eventually. Mirror could attempt to pull or break an already cracked one, if we don't have a better idea.

 

[Feantari]

Am now Mrs. Feantari! I shall hopefully have some time to catch up, post, and make character in the coming week. Once I've caught up on work.

 

[xarvh]

But did you get married after a daring quest to save Prince Charming?


(Congrats though! Awesome for you! )

Tearing holes in a geomantic structure... generally not a great idea.


Is Fangs unable to shapeshift into something smaller ?
