[Periodic][Fate-14] Dead God's Chest

[LiveVoltage]

Ooooh. I would like a spot.

 

Edit: If a spot isnt filled by Friday then I would like it.

[Jana]

If you were already involved in the first event, please wait until Friday to sign up.

 

I'll be back!

[Klynzahr]

Klyn is blind and sticks out like a seven foot tall maraschino cherry in her armour. I think that I will sit this event out unless more bodies are needed.

 

Have fun all you sneaky types! 8-)

[V'aleera]

V'al shall join Ser Marti on this adventure.

[Seriphyn]

o/ please! Reckon one would need a Flame investment given the territory!

[Grave]

'ello! I will gladly come on Gin, he knows the layout of Mor Dhona pretty well from spending the vast majority of ARR helping in the build up of Revenent's Toll and such .

[111]

V'al shall join Ser Marti on this adventure.

 

The first event was all women, I was hoping this one would be all men, but V'al has to come and MESS UP THE SAUAGEFEST.

Also glad to have you Gin!

[Martiallais]

The Halone symbol shone brightly in the air.

 

V'al knew she was needed.

[111]

Hello Just a reminder that the Event is tomorrow.

 

I'll be pushing the time back to 6PST to accommodate East Coast people. If that's a problem for anyone let me know, we can keep it at 7PST if needed.

[111]

Hello all!

 

Sorry this update came a bit late. 

 

Updates!

 

Episode 1.2 Clipped Wings:

The Adventurers, guided by Ser Martiallais of the Temple knights, traveled to Mor Dhona, in order to investigate reports of bandit raid. Soon after they arrived, reports came in of a fresh assault. The party hurried to the scene, where a grisly site awaited them, shattered wagons and ravaged bodies. A quick investigation lead Ginshaw to find tracks leading north, and Klyn, his sister, to calm down and heal a lucky survivor. Gathering this information they headed North to find the attackers.

 

Lieutenant Kale of the Bloodsworn, his professional ire stoked by the attack of a Ul'dah flagged merchant caravan, led the charge his Chocobo thundering far ahead of his companions. Soon they came upon a crashed airship and a ragged camp, but it was not the prey they seeked. Instead they were Garlean soldiers, stranded after their airship crashed into the earth.

 

Lieutenant Kale took no heed of their numbers, shouting war cries and taking multiple bullet wounds as he charged into the camp, locking himself in combat with their leader and providing inspiration to the rest of the party. Ser Martiallais and Dragoon V'aleera followed, engaging the enemy infantry while Ginshaw moved to attack an enemy medic who had been lurking behind to complete some nefarious task.

 

V'aleera handily dispatched her opponents, and though Kale was nearly over-matched by the Centurion he fought (almost losing an arm in imitation of his general), the quick arrival of Klyn was enough assistant to let him slay the man.

 

The blood on their swords was not even dry though before the camp rumbled and hissed with the sound of steam and steel. A rusted Magitech Colossus plodded over to them, swinging its blade with the force of many men. While their weapons proved ineffective against it's thick hide at first, they were able to overwhelm the construct's ill-repaired logic engine. They attacked ever more strongly against the stuttering device, until it lay motionless, steam hissing from half a dozen punctures. Two of the Empire soldiers did make their escape though, using the distraction of the Colossus to vanish into the crystal wastes.

 

A quick search of the camp revealed a precise logbook, and a Garlean Sensor system. The book contained dates, coordinates, headings and intensities of various events. Perhaps the Garleans were trying to find a comrade to take them home?

 

Ser Marti took possession of the logbook and the sensor, and the battered and slightly disappointed heroes made their way back to Mor Dhona.

Mechanical Updates!

 

Minor Thread Resolved

Shipwrecked Garleans - Anyone who participated in either of the first two events has earned a 'Minor Milestone', details of what this means for your character can be found in the Fate-14 main thread. 

 

Items 

Items are what I'll be calling a class of objects in the Fate-14 ruleset called "extras". Essentially they are objects that give your character a stunt (or multiple stunts).

 

The first one is the Garlean Sensor System recovered from their crashed airship. 

 

 

 

 

Standard Issue Aetherial Compass MkIV, Compact

 

This mechanical gadget is roughly the size of a large hardcover book, with a pair of short antenna that extend a fulm upwards when extended. The front is a series of dials and switches for setting the sensitivity of the device, with several spinning dials to indicate the readings. 

 

This devices is a compact version of the device Garleans use to track various phenomena in their quest to save the world. Characters must pass a Lore Check of 4 in order to recognize and understand how to use the device, though any character with a background in Garlean technology would only require a 2. 

 

The device gives the character a bonus to investigate objects with an Aetherial Signature, and allows their location to be found from malms away. The bonus given and difficulty to find an object based on its distance are listed below. You must have some idea of a target's aetherial signature in order to track it, may be handled on a case by case basis.

 

 

Large Signatures - Primals, Garlean Super Weapons, Great Drakes

+4 to Notice and +3 to Investigate

Medium Signatures - Airships, Magitech Walkers, Smaller Drakes

+2 to Notice and +2 to Investigate

Small Signatures - Mages, Linkpearls, Magical Creatures

+1 to Investigate

 

Difficulty based on Distance of Object

Within 10 Meters = 1

100 =  2

1000 = 3

10,000 = 4

100,000 = 5

1,000,000 = 6

[GloryRhodes]

I'm in!  (Late)

[111]

Ok we are all full.

 

I know a couple of other people expressed interest, but do not worry, this is only the end of a chapter, not a story. (please look forward to it).

[111]

Ok there have been SIGNIFICANT changes to the events, so if you are interested please reread them. This also means there are additional spots open for people to participate. 

 

Currently the timing for both events are up in the air, however what is not up in the air is that there will be a short preparatory meeting this Tuesday the 25th, at 7:00 PST (Thats 10:00 EST).

 

 

It is currently planned to be at Rowena's Cafe on the top of Mor Dhona. If you've been involved in this story at all, or wish to, please stop by. I'll be there OOCly to handle any rolls that need to be made before the upcoming scenes.

 

Once we get everyone in the group they wish to be in we'll hash out the times for the events (either late this week or early next week).

 

If you know anyone who might not see this please let them know OOCly or ICly.

[Klynzahr]
