[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

To cause the biggest bang possible, it will require the Essence reactors to overload. That can be done from the control room or from the reactor room. Post heading to one or the other, and I'll let you know what you find.
 
@Sherwood, I have now a few times tried to ask for hints about the people Rose interacts with's state of mind, am I not being explicit enough in my questions? Should I roll? Is it beyond the scope of her not magically assisted abilities? Something else?
 
The Sidereal assassin had other mental Charms working on him to keep him from cooperating with you, including the spell Theft of Memory to keep him from telling you where to find Chejop. I can't let you guys have all fun, can I?
 
I was referring to Sash and Ejava. These instances in particular:

As she speaks with the prisoner, Rose sends sidelong glances at the other two, trying to gauge their feelings on this man's life. She know she could almost certainly convince him to give up his beliefs and support the solars in general and herself in particular, but most people are rightly wary of convincing powers of that magnitude.

Without letting it affect her demeanor, Rose studies the young dragonblooded for signs of how she is dealing with being the subject of assassination attempts within the Scarlet Palace itself.

The feeling you get from Ejava is one of distaste at a necessary evil. She's not horrified, but you can tell that the idea of messing with someone's mind is not a happy one.

They look up at you as you enter, and the man snarls out, "Damn Solars and your Lunar lackeys! One step closer and the lives of these innocents are on your hands! I won't hesitate to kill them all if you so much as twitch."

On behalf of the new Solar Deliberative, allow me to be the first to say with firm conviction: "We do not negotiate with terrorists!"
 
Considering that those people will die when the Titan blows up, it is kinda moot.
 
Are we going to have replies from Skadi, Tiger, and Aurora?
 
I'll just say, in the off chance I end up rolling a lot of damage on Skadi, with the ST's permission I'll turn to the rules of disabling and maiming in combat (Core pg 152), in the unwanted event that I deal enough damage to kill her, I'll instead mangle a limb or something to avoid killing our endangered Lunar.
 
Against a fellow Pc, thats fine. I doubt that Skadi will complain to get mangled and still be alive to heal instead of dead, assuming you do enough damage to whack her.
 
Sorry for the lack of posting, I keep getting distracted with real life stuff.


Do Specialties contribute to DVs? When I did my retooling, I changed dodge specialty "unarmored" in to the martial arts specialty "unarmed".
 
The specialty would only count where its description applies, so only sometimes would the DV be boosted. Also, you can change your specialty to unarmed.
 
Since Tiger is primarily an unarmed fighter, it would apply more often than not. I'll modify the character sheet to reflect this, thanks!

She has a PD, but using it against all three attacks (two from the other Sidereal, one from you) will leave her dangerously low on motes. I'm considering just raising her soak to 22L against one.
 
Whatever you do, just make sure you can survive, particularly the last attack from Aurora [the one enhanced with Hungry Tiger Technique], as that has the potential to hurt a lot. I can always keep a Defend Other action on Skadi to keep her safe from further attacks from the remaining Sidereal if she ends up with little to no motes.


After this fight, Aurora might take Skadi for some intensive training to toughen her up and make sure she's not so squishy for the fight against MoW. :tongue:

@Sherwood are we waiting for anything wit Ejava, or do you want to just narrate the rest?

Is there any business you'd like to cover before we wrap up the scene?
 
Also, after a bit of searching, I don't see anything that tells me one way or the other about if Skadi would be affected by the Charm that was used by the Sidereal. So, I will rule in favor of a player character this time. She is not going to be affected, so you just have the one attack to deal with. Please post your actions accordingly, and I shall weep for my lost bad guy.

I can't really decide how close I want Rose to be to Ejava, I'll get back to you on that when I've slept. Dealing with Mnemon and the Imperial City in general certainly takes priority, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to move ahead with that when the others are still fighting, desyncing timelines when we have instant communication is icky.


In the absence of politicking and saving the world, I'll take a bit of chatting and hanging out ;)

If I survive, I'm definitely learning Wound-Mastering Body Evolution!
 
Sorry for my absence in the last few days, I had to fly to Hong Kong for a quick visa run but it's been dealt with and now I'm back, posts will come shortly.
 
@Sherwood, I think Rose and Ejava will have a pleasant rest of the evening and then move on with the Great Plan the following day.


If you don't want to move ahead with socializing and infiltrating the Thousand Scales before the others are done, I'd be happy to play the rest of the evening until we know whether the East blows up.
