Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

I'm back, and happy with how Miashara's covered Bjarn (except for getting his hair colour wrong...).


So yeah, hi.


(And woot, easy ISG for Bjarn, I think I qualify already...)
 
Yep, good to see you back.


I'm waiting to see if everyone agrees to Anoke's plan (at least for the most part), and will try and proceed with the game based on how character react to that plan.
 
Yeah, rather fortunate, wan't it?


The other wonderful thing is that while I was away from the Tubes, I bought and read a book of Norse mythology. Could come in handy for inspiration, I reckon...
 
Just to let everyone know, Wednesday I'm leaving for a game convention in Indiana for a week and my posting will be a bit erratic.
 
So, Wuffy, congratulations! You've won the "most normal-looking of the Circle" award, given that Jorik is neither glowing, a reptile, an obvious foreigner, or carrying around a sack full o' heads.
 
In order to help keep the momentum for the game running I’m just going to go head and list Anoke’s plan here, and see if everyone is ok with it, or want to do something else. Anoke’s plan is as follows.


1. Anoke and Four Foot move ahead on Anoke’s bike, and go towards the Duke’s palace.


2. Bjarn, Calypso, Glass, and Jorik rile up the mob to descend on the Duke’s palace.


3. Asyk flies above the city to keep a birds eye view of the city.


Four Foot seemed to want to go off on his own into the crowd, and there seemed to be come confusion over whether to use the mob or stop the riot completely. So I hope we can see if everyone approves of going with Anoke’s plan, or want to do something else.
 
Disagreement between Four Foot and Anoke. I am curious how this will go. Will Four Foot acquiesce and everyone do what Anoke wants, or will someone show that the man can be disagreed with?
 
Hmmm... This sounds like a job for Fury-Inciting Presence! What better way to take control of a mob and simultaneously focus them on what you want and avoid them breaking too much stuff?
 
I've just realised exactly how well Mariner's Parable Defence suits Bjarn...


(See Ink Monkeys 21 if you don't remember what it does).
 
Sorry about the lack of posts for the last couple of days. Been busy as work, and just switched over to a new internet service (that took me most of a day to work everything out for). But I should be able to post something up this Tuesday.
 
'S'alright by me, as long as you haven't mysteriously abandoned us (which you evidently have't so it's all good!). :mrgreen:
 
Alright, Four Foot's been fantastic at finding out that the Valhal and Iceholders are, indeed, mad. Any chance of Four Foot sneaking up to the palace? Maybe looking for the Duke's son, who is suspiciously absent from these proceedings?


I don't mean to come off as a smarmy bastard here, but the absolute worst that spies in the crowd could do is inflict an external penalty that Solar might can shatter like a Semi hitting someone with bone dystrophy. The group would be far better served by having an unseen eye observing the Duke's Court, especially once Anoke leaves. Detail on how people react is REALLY important to figuring out who's behind this, real motives, etc.


Don't want to seem like an ass here. Just saying, your character's not really getting much done...
 
So Archie, not sure if you'd want a Manipulation + (non-existent) Performance roll for Ann's most recent action. If so, just let me know what the stunt bonus is and I'll throw the bones.
 
Let’s just make sure we have the order of actions right here. First you activate Listener Swaying Argument, a 6 tick action. This as you know makes all the bystandard instantly believe your argument is right (at least if their MDV isn’t high enough, and the vast majority of their MDV’s are not high enough to resist). The Manipulation roll would only be needed if you wanted to do an additional social attack (in which case the Duke will get another chance to do his own social attack) for whatever purpose you wanted, such as an attack against the Duke or perhaps to one of the other people in the room. The roll would have two stunt dice applied.


From there it seems that you are wishing to disengage in social combat, or are perhaps allowing for someone else (possibly the Duke) to continue the conversation.


Sherwood: I would just like for you confirm that you are back so that I can throw text in my posts your way as well. Didn’t want to throw stuff your way until you were ready to handle it. According to your last post you should be back by now, so I plan on including something in my next post for you for the time being.


Working on my next post for today now.
