Cloaked Mystery

@everyone

I had a new idea, and I’m wondering what people would think about this.

In short, my proposal is, what if we split the group? Some people could go with Felicity and then have to find another way to get out of the city.

One reason to do this is, I don’t want to force the characters to go certain places (the ship in this instance), so…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Yes.

@highscribeofaetherium

??

@loopylin

The plan right now is basically: get everyone to the ship. So, I wouldn’t think it would be a problem. Worst case scenario, you would be responsible for getting your characters there without an NPC to help.

@savannah_grace2009

Before you said that the master wanted to make Jaden his second in command to sweeten the deal. I’m saying that if that’s still the reason, I feel like you should portray Kaden as more hesitant initially, because as it is, it doesn’t really feel like he needed that incentive.

@whalekeeper

Well, I do have that handy google doc, so it isn’t terribly hard, especially considering that there are only three groups.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @raxforge @hybridlore @rae @grcr @loopylin

Ellis — Elderstrand (Group 1)

The newcomer stared in astonishment as the armored creatures sagged and went still. “That was…incredible…” he stammered, still in shock. “No wonder–”

Just then, there was a prolonged wailing blast of a horn. The man stiffened. “We have…[Read more]

Oh, and @rae, do you need help deciding on a place to introduce your new character?

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @raxforge @hybridlore @rae @grcr @loopylin @the_lost-journal @beth-torres @highscribeofaetherium (I think I got everyone)

Alright! Sorry for the wait, but I’m here to get us moving again.

To quickly recap, I believe that this is where things currently stand:

One group, consisting of Marcel, Leon and Julian, Ben and…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Yep, I’m still here lol! Good to hear from you.

only two lone figures in the street.

You don’t need “only” and “lone”. I would probably keep “lone”. That one sounds better to me.

Yet every step was marked with purpose, with determination, and—all the more terrifying—desperation.

I’m gonna be a real stickler here, but I don…[Read more]

@everyone

It doesn’t seem like too many people have been posting, but for those of you that have, I apologize for having been absent for a while. I’ve been a bit busy lately, but with Thanksgiving break coming up, I’ll probably have time to get on here.

I would post now, but I’ve sort of lost track of what’s happening, so it will take me a bit…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Yes, that could work. You’ll just have to engineer a way for her to get separated. (Or I can help contrive something to let that happen if you want.)

And btw, for anyone wondering, evil characters will have a separate limit.

@the_lost-journal

I mean, it depends on what you want to do. Basically what’s going to happen is we’re going to cut to a different scene where the villain will have summoned his own group of characters. That’s when we’ll add our villains. But if you don’t care about your character showing up for that scene, I don’t care if you add them now.

@the_lost-journal

Yep, you can add another. (The current limit is actually 4 at this point btw.)

I was planning on having us add villains shortly after we finish the current “scene.”

@the_lost-journal

Rina — Elderstrand, Deepwater, on the ship

Rina panted for breath, dripping water. She was completely soaked after that dive. She glanced up towards the sky, which was now dropping water on them. Maybe it didn’t really matter anyway.

The ship was floating down the river, picking up speed. The soldiers were still chasing afte…[Read more]

Ellis — Elderstrand (Group 1)

Ellis suddenly found himself whisked off the ground and deposited onto a nearby roof, along with the rest of the group…except Marcel.

“No way!” Ellis snapped. “We can’t leave anyone behind!”

Just then there was a thud and the rooftop s…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Your characters and Rina are still on the ship. Sorry that it’s been a while since anything’s happened there. Like I said earlier, I’ve been waiting for someone else in the other group to go so that we can move towards combining those two, but if no one goes soon, I’ll just go myself.

Can we maybe just all subscribe to the topic so we don’t have to tag so many people every time?

We could. Directly tagging someone does help them know if they’re involved in what is happening, versus it being something happening somewhere else, but I don’t care.

By my count, there are at least two Ironwalkers dead, one killed by Marcel and one killed by Flare. A third is probably dead, killed by Ben, but could conceivably still be alive (though seriously injured.)

An additional three have been injured. One had a staff rammed into its neck, is (I think?) still alive. The second one was stabbed twice by E…[Read more]
