Cloaked Mystery

@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.”

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]

Forgot tag above

@grcr

@ellette-giselle

How tall are they?

Probably like…6’6″ without armor on average. The armor would add a few inches, so the tallest are probably about 7′ in armor.

First, how fast are they (the ironwalkers)? You said they weren’t really mobile…  so is charging kinda out of the picture? And second, is it okay if Marcellus has his pistol?

They coul…[Read more]

Ellis — Elderstrand (Group 1)

Ellis slashed at one of the armored warriors, scoring the armor with a dark scorch mark, resisting more than it should have. His enemy swung a heavy fist at his head, and he ducked past it. A second opponent’s fist came out of nowhere,…[Read more]

@loopylin

Well, I think the only one that’s dead is the one Flare crushed. Unless what Marcel did was supposed to have killed it in the process of de-armoring it (either way, without armor, it won’t last long.) The third one, if I’m understanding what happened, should still be alive, unless the staff actually pierced into its body. Based on h…[Read more]

@loopylin

I think I’ll add another character after the fight is over, if that’s alright. Or guess technically two characters. One and a half? I should go back and check how many character slots we’re allowed.

There are currently 16 characters total, which means that the limit per person is currently 4.

@raxforge

There are actually biological creatures inside the armor. Marcel’s exclamation that they are made of iron was in erroneous as he later discovered, though I see how when he later said that they “aren’t solid” it could have been misinterpreted as saying they are hollow. What he really meant (I assume) is that they aren’t solid metal (i.e.…[Read more]

@raxforge

Suddenly, one of the knights (am I getting this right?)

Basically. If you missed it when I introduced them earlier, these are called Ironwalkers. They are humanoid creatures clad entirely in armor. Their helmets have a completely smooth front with no eye holes or any other facial features. (Because they don’t have eyes.) They also don’t…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

So thats a semi yes!? Yay! Ok I have a creature idea for the Deewater! It is a serpent like creature, it stalks under boats and attacks when least expected. since I imagine the waters are “deep” (crazy right!) I imagine it lives deep in the waters, so little is known about it. And it rarely comes up. But when it does it att…

@whalekeeper

I mean, they’re technically just NPCs, so yes, (though I would recommend using them sparingly.) In this case, I happen to agree with @rae‘s assessment and will be deploying them anyway, lol.

@the_lost-journal

Sorry, my rp left off no where. 😅

Oh, I’m not waiting on you or anything. If you hadn’t seen, the group with Ilahna, Klethen, and Everett is next to the river, downstream from the ship, so I’m more so waiting for something to happen with that group before I RP Rina again.

1. What creatures are in this world? And can we make up…
