Kiht and Yvelont need to talk IC soon. Tongue

But yes, I should be able to make those times.

Kiht and Saehri need to have a chat bah! Sorry, I haven't been on. ; ; /grovel There has been life and Atmas and stuff. I'll probably miss this one (going on vacation this week) but I'll get on Saehri sometime next week(end)!

The only other day of the week I am booked is Wednesday. Â Pathfinder night, yo!

My only question about the combat system would be how would you like to handle healing/shielding? Â I ask because that is really all my character does- party cleric.

Friday's event will probably be later than 12pm PST because Xydane mentioned "Friday nights". I know he is in an earlier time zone. I think he is CST or EST? So it will be afternoon or night for most, I think.

As for how the combat system will involve healing/protective magic:

Rheah sees the assassins about to unleash a volley of arrows. She rolls a high number in the flawless success margin. She casts a barrier field that blocks all arrows.

OR

Rheah sees the assassins about to unleash a volley of arrows. She rolls a mid-range number in the rough success margin. She casts a barrier field that blocks most arrows, but some break through.

OR

Rheah sees the assassins about to unleash a volley of arrows. She rolls a low number in the failure margin. She casts a barrier field that does not establish quickly enough to block most arrows. Only some are blocked (maybe the ones that would have otherwise hit some people in vital areas).

With healing magic, it can work something like this:

Darwyn is in combat with an assassin. Darwyn rolls a low number in the failure margin. Darwyn and his assassin opponent severely injure each other, and Darwyn goes down.

Rheah sees Darwyn go down, and rushes to his aid. Then she rolls. If she rolls high, she casts (insert healing magic spell here) to heal him quickly, and he is brought back into the fight for the next phase. If she rolls Mid-range, he is healed some, but she is either interrupted by an assassin, or she runs low on aether/mana. Darwyn is still a bit wounded, but he rises to fight in the next phase with grim determination. If she rolls low in the failure margin, she barely manages to heal him enough to save him from death, but she is interrupted or temporarily runs out of aether to cast any further at that moment. Darwyn must be aided further, and can't rise to fight in the next phase unless someone else aids him at that moment.

NOTE: I may have used the word 'death' in that previous example, but NOBODY'S character will die in this plot unless they want that to happen. I am almost certain none of us want that to happen. So, the worst-case scenario if we fail a lot in an encounter is we all flee and survive by the skin on our teeth, or something miraculous happens to save us from certain death.

Brynn Wrote:I should be able to make Thursday nights and Friday nights, although I do not see Rae taking part in any combat so I wouldn't take my character's participation into heavy consideration for this. She is definitely a non-combatant. Kind of.

No worries. If Kiht knows that someone in the group is not good at combat, or needs protection, she will assign one of the other exiles to protect that person or persons.
Or, that player can bow-out completely, and emote a defense or reason why the assassins can't or don't attack them. That player character can then just observe and emote reactions to the happenings. If we are victorious, or forced to flee, that non-combat character will just follow suit.

Yvelont Wrote:Kiht and Yvelont need to talk IC soon. Tongue But yes, I should be able to make those times.

Yes! We do! However, I am not sure if we can manage to focus around each other enough to actually RP anymore Laugh

If it comes to it, I will just shoot you an invite, and we can pretend Kiht talked to Yvelont and gave him a linkpearl.

I have been looking for you. I guess this is why I haven't found you. When you come back to the game, please let me know when and what day you will be available. I still have an idea for your character, and that won't expire anytime soon. Smile

Fear not, there will be many more events and stuff in the future.

MrPoopyButtHole · **03-31-2014, 10:55 PM**

Can't freaking wait. Thanks for organizing Kiht. Massive brownie points and kudos. I double checked times and should be able to make it.

Mooncalling · **03-31-2014, 11:58 PM**

By the way Kiht, if you are still looking for dice rolling we could useÂ http://rolz.org/.

You can set up a private room for everyone to join and roll dice. Â It's what the Grindstone uses for their tournaments.

Awesome, thank you Rheah.

Knight Kat · **04-01-2014, 04:12 AM**

OK, first meeting is coming up. I am going to start things casually. I will get online between 12pm and 1pm PST. Everyone who wants to be involved, just get online and watch the LS channel. Kiht will ICly call everyone through the LS channel. She will designate a meeting spot somewhere, and all our characters will get to meet faces-to-faces at this one spot to discuss future plans.

Dress you character how you like. There will be no combat happening at this first meeting. We are all going to get updates, reports and ideas on how to survive, and deal with, the assassins.

Xydane · **04-01-2014, 08:57 AM**

Yep, I'm EST. Tongue

BTW, just a head's up to anyone - this will definitely be the event that I encourage you all to participate. I have some great things in mind which I will not discuss OOC-wise. Big Grin

Get ready to have some fun!

One of my alts, Vincent Laucent, was born in Coerthas and is an ex-Ishgardian! Where do I sign to be pearled?!

Crisiet · **04-02-2014, 03:32 AM**

Couldn't be online yesterday due to illness. Had to go to bed at like, 7:30 PM.Â

TIMEZOOOOONES.Â Frustrated

Thanks for posting the awesome pictures, Erik. I think our first LS meeting went well Big Grin

In that meeting, we discussed the major plan against the assassins. Kiht told everyone about a secret operation that Lyn Konge has undertaken. Now, everyone can know by reading this post of his. This is part one. Part two is in the works.

I will soon have an update for the event on Friday. Keep watch. Smile

MrPoopyButtHole · **04-02-2014, 07:49 AM**

Fantastic story, little dark but that's my preference. EST time is killing me!

Well, what happened yesterday was that the meeting ended up happening A LOT later than planned. When I got on between 12pm and 1pm PST, the only people on were Darwyn and Rheah, and they were doing their back-to-back dungeon madness that they do Tongue

I stayed on until 5pm PST then took a break. Its wasn't until about 9pm PST where there were enough people on to make a meeting. I figure that I'd call the meeting while I had a chance.

Obviously, we will need to establish more solid time-frames for our meetings so people know when they are going to happen. However, we never need an excuse for anyone in the LS to RP with anyone else in the LS. And, that channel is always open for people to talk IC anytime.

Knight Kat · **04-03-2014, 07:51 AM**

UPDATE!

There are too many schedule conflicts for the big event to happen on Friday. So, we are going to now try for Saturday or Sunday.

EVERYONE, I apologize to those that have already sent me your availability for Friday because I must ask you to send me your availability once more for Saturday and Sunday. I am hoping we will find a good time for either one of those days.

TODAY: I know this is short notice, but I have been kinda busy the last few days. There was originally going to be a meeting today. However, a recent plot development has sort of changed the situation, and I need to resolve it before another meeting can be held. It might be doable on Friday, but again, that's sort of undetermined so far.

I am sorry for the confusion, and vagueness thus far. But, I am new to organizing RP events, and I am having to learn as I go. I promise things will be better planned in the future, and I appreciate everyone's' interest Smile
