[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

My 2 cents:


I suggest bumping the attunement cost up slightly, 5 is typical of 3-dot weapon artifacts. Unless the weapon is underpowered (this already seems like a pretty strong artifact 3 to me with standard attunement), a lower attunement cost easily puts it on the upper edge of the power scale for 3-dot artifact weapons - especially when you take into account the unlimited ammo that it generates without cost.


Very cool, nonetheless. I look forward to seeing clutch snipes with this bad boy, glad to see that Storm will have some competition :P .
 
Eh, I'd say its pretty fair 3 dot, consider the lightning torment hatchets for one comparison. Not having a solar mote pool I'll be happy to keep the attunement at 3. :-P Sadly it doesn't even complete with her elemental bolt.
 
3 mote attunement is fine, imo. I really have no problem with the only terrestrial in the group getting slightly more power for slightly less cost than the rest of the celestials. Handwave it with the fact that she's an E7 Dragon-Blooded and that age gives her extra perks.
 
And you have officially met your first Abyssal. What will you do with him, I wonder?
 
During the working week (starting today) my posting will be slow - once, maybe twice a day, so I hope events will not gallop away from me before I can post to the thread.
 
Please note that I activated all encompassing sorcerer's sight as well as sagacious reading of intent, I thought of it just after I clicked post reply :P


I will ask GM, its' whats' not said rather than what is said, that is important. Is anything left out? (as opposed to an outright lie) in other words, are there things that we know, that the PC's dont. To keep meta-gaming out of it.
 
Your Charm shows that she is telling the truth for the most part. She does have a Gold Faction slant on things, so whatever event she is describing is going to be told in such a way to make the Gold look good and the Bronze and the Scarlet Empire out to be the enemy.
 
What did All encompassing sorcerer's sight reveal? Were any of them using non-obvious Charms or spells on us? I can roll Int+Occult if necessary :) In fact I'll make a roll for all 3 NPC's to get their Essence ratings (diff 2 each time) 6 successes!
 
Sash shows as Essence 5, and she had several scene long Charms in play that, over the course of her history lesson, she let fade. These were the Form Charm for the Violet Bier of Sorrows Martial Art, several perception Charms, and soak enhancement Charms.


Grond is Essence 4, and he, too, has many combat oriented Charms up and running. Many are related to the DBT form he is now in; strength enhancement and added soak.


Whisper is Essence 3. He is currently using the spell Unbreakable Bones of Stone, and also has soak enhancement Charms running.


At no time is there any effort by any of them to use a Charm or spell on you without your knowledge.
 
Thanks for that. Ryu will keep that to himself for the time being until he knows he can trust this trio or he can get 'his' group by themselves to talk.


EDIT: Even with Essence 5, there's no way Jubal reincarnated directly into Sash. Her Essence score is just too low. She's at least once removed from him.


EDIT2: Would AESS show that the Abyssal Charms are inverted Solar weaves?
 
Hey. He's a Solar. He figures that the Sidereal will just fall into line like they've done every other time. Also we have an Eclipse with us right? :D Sherwood wanted us to play up the culture shock and I'm doing my part.
 
Indeed. I think I'll just sit back and watch the fireworks fly. ;) (unless they become violent, then I got your back)
 
Who knows, it might even work in Sash's case :) She DOES have the old Jubal in there somewhere. I could try Authority Radiating Stance to ease things but if it fails it will set all 3 on guard and they won't be anywhere near as friendly
 
I gotta give it to them, not a single one of them has seen or dealt with 1st Age Solars, and now having to wake up a whole circle and just hope the Bronze faction was wrong must be pretty nerve wracking.
 
I don't believe OOCly for a second that the Abyssal is a true renegade. Most likely he hopes to use us for his masters' own purposes. Thats' why he's staying silent.
 
Sash's reactions are particularly telling, considering how we're decked out ten ways to sunday with our murder charms.
 
You know, I'm starting to think that First Age Solars were all Player Characters, considering the amount of paranoia we're bringing to the table. :P
