[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

[Lord-Leafar]

C'mon, you make us look like the monsters of the 1st age who cared not one bit about their Lunar mates and allies. If anything, our paranoia will make us believe in your warning, wether we think it's plausible or not.

 

[Esbilon]

Rose's attitude towards faeries and the Wyld is that they're an awesome resource, but one that has to be handled with care. Fortunately, we know how to handle it, so so long as we are in control, we're fine.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Hmm. I'm pretty sure Skadi would have passed on Blossom's warning.
Whether anybody believed her is another story...

What was the warning again? I think I missed that.

 

[Esbilon]

Blossom rises from her seat, then kneels down in front of you. "My life is yours to command; I am your creature now." She waits for you to give her leave to stand before rising. "And to show you that I mean to follow the spirit of such an oath and not just the words, I will tell you this: there was a notation in the papers I had that contained my part of Leviathan's control codes. This indicated that there is a slight flaw in the operating system of the machine. Most of the time it will work as directed; but there may be an occasion that it will run rampant, destroying everything around it until it runs out of Essence and powers down. Then, once it has recharged and reboots, it will be under control once more. I do not know enough of its workings to tell you just what kind of flaw there is, or even if the flaw still exists. But it was there, and still may be."

That there is a possible flaw in the operating system of the Leviathan. Most of the time it will work fine, but there may be rare occasions where it goes wild, attacking everything around it until it runs out of Essence, then it shuts down and can then be rebooted to work fine for a while.

Or, in ooc terms: "If you take advantage of this awesome gift I have granted you, I will fuck you up."

Sounds more like a feature than a bug

Sherwood, according Lords of Creation a solar needs Lore 7+ to create a Proto-Shinmaic Vortex. Rose has Lore 6 and Divine Subordination of Lore which lets her access Lore 7, Essence 7 charms without actually taking that last dot. Can I make one without having to raise my Essence first? And if not, do the millenium spent sleeping count towards Age minimums for raising Essence?

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Sherwood did mention earlier that our time spent sleeping does not count for essence purchasing purposes.

 

[Sherwood]

But for getting your E7 stuff, you have the unexpected blessing of the US, making some of the restrictions on time go away.

That sounds like a 'no,' but a PSV is sufficiently awesome that I have to ask and make sure

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Actually, that seems more like a yes.... Clarification?

 

[Lord-Leafar]

It sounds like a no, Rose can't create a Proto-Shinmaic Vortex with Ess 6, but yes you can buy Ess 7 since the US is blessing you to do it without much time.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Oh, that makes sense. What about training time for E7?

 

[Esbilon]

Clarification definitely needed

 

[JayTee]

Tiger will be getting Essence 7 sometime soon, so he can get you your Vortex

 

[Esbilon]

That would be great, but I'm afraid he's lacking in the WST department.

 

[JayTee]

It's on my "to buy" list, so don't worry about that

 

[Esbilon]

To buy lists have a tendency to be more wishful thinking thatn stuff you actually buy ;-)


It'd be great if Tiger could make one, but I think I'll try working on somethting myself too. Mmm, perhaps a divine Endowment could do it.

 

[JayTee]

Actually Wyld Shaping Technique and Cast Out Beyond Regard are all that I have left to buy on my list. The rest is just refinements of what I already have, which can wait for now.


For realzies, don't worry about it, I got you covered

 

[Sherwood]

For those drooling over the idea of hitting E7, you can do so with just the xp cost and no training time.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Well that just might make me pause on buying more charms, would you mind me having a 3exp debt?

 

[Sherwood]

While I normally do not like that, I will let it slide this one time.

 

[Esbilon]

Would you allow a clone of Flashing Vengeance Draw (Join Battle booster in Archery, 2 prereqs charms) to branch off Cascade of Cutting Terror (Thrown, 1 prereq)?
