Any signs of notable life in the area with the Piercing Gaze of the Dragon charm? And no spirits?

No wildlife in the area at all, and no spirits are visible at the moment.

 

[Random Word]

I have no idea how to handle this. I don't want to burn all my essence preparing to fight a random ghost, but if I activate my SMA it costs like 40+ motes after every discount I could find and it's super Obvious. I could just do regular Violet Bier of Sorrows and hold off on the big stuff, but I also don't want to get one-shotted by an angry Deathlord.

Does my vision of impending violence give me any indication of the threat level?

I will give you that the threat is not a Deathlord, but it is an encounter designed to survive more than a few ticks against the four of you.

At the moment, I am going to say that Red Shadow Claws' character is still in the airship, guarding it. Red hasn't been on in a while, and I don't want to write him off.

 

[D. Rex]

It's not possible to flurry simple charms at initiative, correct? Or at all?

 

[Sherwood]

Right. You can activate one Simple charm at a time.

 

[D. Rex]

Will post it here in a 2 or 3 hours

 

[Sherwood]

No worries. Thanks for the update.

I read something about dynamic activation somewhere. But cant remember anything about other than it had something to do with activating forms reflexively. Is it possible to activate a form reflexively if the condition isnt mentioned in the form charm?

 

[Random Word]

That's a 3e thing. Form type charms are rarely Reflexive in 2e. You had advance warning from Insight, though, so you can have activated a Simple Charm before Join Battle.

So can activate a form type charm before join battle. Then a simple charm with join battle?

(Been a while since I played 2.5)

Speed is noted in the mechanics spoiler. All three are Speed 4 for regular fists.

 

[Sherwood]

Must have missed that. IC post will be up shortly.

 

[D. Rex]

I believe my anima is at the max now. If it is, then I believe everyone now gets this effect.

Spoiler: Journey Anima

The Chosen’s anima billows outward in a brilliant yellow that touches all those affected. For one scene, the Sidereal and all his allies within (his Essence x 10) yards triple the distance of their Move and Dash action. This affects steeds as well, as long as a creature’s feet touch the ground as they travel. Allies enjoy this advantage only as long as they remain within range. With an anima banner in the 11 to 15 mote range, this costs only fi ve motes. If the banner is fully manifest (16+ motes), this costs only one.

For the rest of the scene. All allies with 50 yards triple their move and dash distance.

Is it possible to flurry a form charm activation with an attack?

 

[jaydude]

Hey Sherwood . Sorry to give you another question to answer, but could I use Unnatural Many-Step Stride to stay and move normally above the area affected by the Monster's Charm?

 

[Sherwood]

You can do that.

 

[jaydude]

You can do that.

Which of us are you speaking to, if I may ask?

 

[Sherwood]

Sorry. Should have been more clear.

Hey Sherwood . Sorry to give you another question to answer, but could I use Unnatural Many-Step Stride to stay and move normally above the area affected by the Monster's Charm?

Yes, you can use the Charm UMSS to stay above the strands.

Yes.

 

[Sherwood]

I'll have an IC post up as soon as I can. I'm currently fighting a nasty headache and it is making it hard to think clearly.

No worries. I'm heading off to bed soon anyway.

Hope you feel better!

 

[Sherwood]

Thanks for the well-wishes.

 

[Random Word]

Wow that's a lot of attacks. Overdrive pools start empty, and your new attacks won't start filling it until after this turn, so presumably that was 21m peripheral spent on 7 copies of the Excellency, and a -7 DV penalty from launching 7 attacks in non-magical flurries?

It's going to need to spend a lot of motes to Crimson Palm Counterstrike all of those. If it doesn't have an onslaught negator it just doesn't have a DV anymore after all those attacks, though, so you only have to beat its attack roll to hit.

 

[D. Rex]

I'm hoping to flurry getting into form, then going straight into a magical flurry of up to 5 attacks at 4mts each.

Lol we are draining mites to hit him as hard as we can.
