[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

Okay, not sure how this can be done, but I want to design a hearthstone that let's my necomancer appear as a dead person in the Shadowlands. Basically, the hearthstone would have limited use in creation, except maybe at night, but if she spends either motes of essence or willpower can cloak herself with a deathly veil.


This doesn't have to be fool-proof. An awareness roll should allow them to notice that this is simply a shroud to cloak her living nature. Nor do I want her to change physically, just have a way of disguising herself while walking in the Shadowlands or perhaps in the underworld.


Anyone willing to help? I know I could probably do this with a necromancy spell, but just wondering if a hearthstone could also do the trick?

There is the Chameleon Stone (Lunar Manse 2, OC pg. 103), which can change your facial appearance, while the Gem of Gender Transformation (Water Manse 3, pg. 97) can change your gender and the Gem of Masks (Water Manse 4, pg. 98) which can completely alter facial appearance as well as skin and body hair color.

I know there isn't anything already published. And maybe I am over-thinking this. I just assume that if a Dynast were to walk into the underworld that they would appear to be a target to the hungry ghosts and all the spirits of the underworld. So I was looking for something that might not change her physically, but change her aura from a living source of power to a denizen of the shadowlands.


But maybe, there really isn't too much of a difference. And if she had a ghost to escort her that she bonded to her with a spell, she probably wouldn't need to worry quite so much.
 
It's a strange thing where you can post the exact same action for two completely different characters at the exact same time and have it be completely in character for both.
 
I so want to be in the Solar thread. I'm sure my Solar mate will have need of me!!!

It feels like Alchemicals is running on rails... we will get on the train it seems no matter how our characters twist and turn short of outright refusal for no good in character reason. Still lets roll with the punches.
 
[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Necro Patrolopolis any one?
Alchemical Deathlord FTW.

Presumably we aren't supposed to mess with the box text... (ie we can't jump in and try to kill the exploding crazy traitor thing?)


Also, Abyssals is feeling very box texty.. if we're actually able to do much other than watching I'm certainly not getting that impression. I mean, its cool and all. But why not just write it up to start with? Or, do some sort of ST montage and give us a bit of flavor to add, idk.


Looking forward to more stuffs though. ;-)

No one said you have to get on the train.


You can go stab the minister, think Rentus is infected, what ever you want. But I don't think I am railroading you guys at all, you wanted Rentus' wisdom, the niceist person this side of Autobot land and you got it.


Please do not excuse me of railroading the game when you already know for a fact that hes dead outside of the game./


Do you just want the voidy alchemicals and monsters to appear and smite you all to prove your point?


Its called RPing :( .
 
I'm just doing my best not to use outside knowledge in my character posts. Its not always easy, when you know that the Great Maker is dead and getting on the death train is a big mistake.

Well yes but that is the whole point of RPing, it helps us improve as RPers.


I know that you know that the train is dead and its an evil death machine but I'm still trying to make it fun and a few people have been extremely difficult about this.


If you want it to be simple just go tell the Minister off and you will be ordered to be dismantled for being a void infected heretic.
 
And then hilarity will ensue as I fight for my survival as I try to convince the others that I'm not infected.
 
What Sherwood said. And none of the options you have us are reasonable responses for our characters. I apologise for accusing you out of frustration.


EDIT: just say my name Wizard instead of a few people :P

Hilarity will not ensue as the essence 6-7 soulsteel collsi come to dismantle you on Jesus' command.


You guys have all the choice, if you want to be become enemies and fight for the fact that you believe things are wrong then do so and see what happens, I promise I'm not going to kill you and remove you from the game but it will be hard. Or you can go to the party or come up with your own option.
 
I believe that, if the whole Circle teams up, we may be able to survive one E6 collossus. It won't be easy, but it would be interesting to see.
 
It's the way with these sorts of situations, a Kobiyashi Maru scenario. It's not winnable, the best you can achieve is an honorable defeat. At least by getting on the train you can be present to protect the citizens from whatever evil is intended and even lead them to safety once an escape can be effected. The only other alternative would be an almighty fight between a bunch of unbelieving 'Champions' versus one of the Divine Ministers and whatever OP mooks he's got hidden for such eventualities.


And besides, it gets you out into Creation sooner to join in the fun of kicking that choo-choo of doom into Oblivion!

I was under the impression that getting on the train was a death sentence.
