Dice To Kill A Primordial - OOC Thread

[Sherwood]

Awesome. I’ll post for Voice soon.

 

[Random Word]

Sorcerous Workings have an interval for their extended tests of one week - they aren't really something you can do in 10 minutes without some sort of incredibly powerful Charm/Artifact/etc. Spells are generally 'things you can do in one scene with Sorcery'. You could maybe stunt some sort of Occult based action that created an obscuring mist? Or some of the ghosts in our retinue might have the power to create obscuring mists, but instantaneous Workings sets a dangerous (but fun as a player!) precedent.

Also worth noting Workings cost XP to create, which you may not want to pay to shroud in mist this random Shadowland we'll probably never return to.

Scion is just going to walk over and parley with the new arrivals, since they've obviously already seen us, and landed only a hundred metres away. The time for concealment was before digging a large trench network

Thanks for the info. I was not aware of the time issue of the working.

 

[Sherwood]

Ah, well. It was worth the try.

You can probably still achieve the same effect - use Lore or something to declare this Shadowland has a ruin in it with ancient magic that, when activated, fills the surrounding area with an obscuring mist. Then use Occult to activate the ruin. It's a Sorcerous/Necromantic Working someone else did for you ages ago!

 

[MasterDAF]

Oh interesting, yeah I don't think I've ever actually rolled to do a sorcerous working, so I wasn't aware of the time requirement (though I suppose that makes sense). Especially had forgotten about the xp charge, lol, that's a strong deterrent for something that's intended as little more than set-dressing! Thanks for the reminders!

Should I try intimidation/instilling a tie of fear towards himself?

Between 5 Appearance, 5 Presence, Intimidation Specialty, and Death's Unholy Visage Hunger Clad in Eight Broken Chains has a total of 13 for it.

 

[Sherwood]

We're not trying to get them to wet themselves before they scream and attack us. We need to get on the inside to learn about then.

Psychie I responded to the jade caste guy with the hammer

Sorry. Been fighting a cold and I'm a bit slow. I'll post IC in a moment.

 

[Sherwood]

Ah, the plague shatters another life. Get well soon.

 

[Gravitational Force]

Not sure if the tap meant Hunger Clad in Eight Broken Chains should try to be scary (instill a Tie of fear/intimidate) so I'm holding off on rolling for now.

 

[Random Word]

Mechanically I was asking if you'd be willing to Aid me. You would roll your intimidation pool, and the successes would grant me extra dice. It's not unreasonable to ask it also count as a separate intimidation check to instill a tie of fear, though.

As an aside, I was skimming the Alchemicals advance PDF, and am thinking Cuckoo might go for one of the sorcerous initiations therein, as part of learning more about their mindset. Am at work for now, so can't access the ile to tell you which initiation it is, but will do so in the next two days, so we can maybe weave it into the story.

 

[Random Word]

Yes he does. With 4 successes, I expect he will fail, but that happens.

Why only four successes? I see a lot more than that in your roll

Only the second roll counts. The Charm doesn't say that you use the highest successes in either roll, only that you reroll all non-10 dice results

 

[Random Word]

Oh I see! Like the Solar mirror. But it's reflexive - you can choose to use it or not after you roll. You rolled 6/10, so above average, and no 10s to keep - why not choose to keep your dice? You just felt lucky?

I actually didn't see I rolled 6 successes, and was feeling lucky. Hey, even fearsome Abyssals miscalculate.

Arcanometric Calculus is the Sorcerous Initiation Cuckoo is gonna undergo.

Got it. Would it make sense to also activate Elegant Tyrant Mastery for a total of 16 dice? Or is 13 enough?

I'm entirely new to this game.

13 is a decent dice pool. Just keep in mind not to spend more than 4 peripheral motes, so your Caste mark doesn't begin to show.

Got it.
