Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Zepher]

An easier way to defend yourself would be explaining what you did without the jab at the person who misunderstood things.

I think it was a good RP moment when it happened. I think other people just didn't follow it as closely and are confused. Thank you for clarifying for them!

[CMP]

Technically, it is how the Shield works, but it doesn't make sense (in a purely strategic context) for someone to try and heal a KO'd player. RP-wise, though, it's probably best to ask players before you assume their actions will be affected by RP.

Same thoughts

[Waterbrick Down]

I don't know why you keep thinking I misunderstood how Blood Ritual works. That's never been the case. In previous battles, players have been KO'd, Blood Ritual /rolled yet KO'd players weren't revived. Precedent was made when a SHIELD mechanic was changed for RP purposes so I did the same in an easy battle at the end of the quest. It was intentional and not a big deal.

As far as following the rules, I remember someone complaining once they found out that scrolls don't prevent free hits during the Dastan quest and wanting them to continue to prevent free hits for the rest of the battle...

Thank you for the clarification, I had read through that specific battle at one point and noted that you had diverted the Blood Ritual to a KO'd player and had thought you had done this out of a misunderstanding and not for RP purposes, prior to that I hadn't paid attention to any specifc battles in which you had run when a Blood Ritual was rolled. Yes, I did set something of a precident with my last quest, however your decision to treat it as such looked like it had been made without prior discussion with the PC's of whom the RP decision affected. That said, I should have given you more credit then thinking you had made a misunderstanding so I am sorry for that.

As to the scrolls issue, I cannot remember if we were doing it wrong and then we were straightened out, or if the topic came up of how overpowered the scrolls were and then the rule was changed. I get your point though and even though I QM, I tend to side with PC's. Anyways I'll let the topic rest, it's all been straightened out anyways and the rules are going to get a clarification.

[Masked Builder]

Also interesting to see what you and Masked whipped up as well.

Yeah, that was Alexis' big Role-play moment. It really soldifies Alexis' separation from Althior, and tries to give her a direction to go in. I'm really quite proud of it.

Yes, and I apologize for cutting it down a little, but I wanted to keep what Wren said as Wren-esque as possible. I hope it still seemed fitting, I don't think I changed ANY of the lines that you wrote for Alexis.

Wait...Harlots can use whips, can't they?

Nooooooooooo!

It's a surprising path, definitely not one I expected Alexis to take. Really interested on seeing how that turns out. And the remarks Atramor's going to make to Althior about it.

[Scorpiox]

I am soooooooo signing up for the final Wren quest.

Oh no, that's totally alright. In fact, I almost like it better shorter.

Heh heh. Yeah I've debated another class, but we'll just have to see how this plays out.

Yeah, I'm in too!

[Scorpiox]

Arthur's eye falls upon Roderick's sword, but he says nothing of it.

OOC: I wouldn't mind that sword; Tensi already has a better one, Cronk doesn't seem the type to want it, and Arthur's the only other one in the party who can use it anyway.

"Heroica will fall. Zoot will rise. It is a motto of Wren's from the past..."

I had actually set the sword to Arthur, but then remembered that someone said that they didn't want anything special, so I changed it. But I'll switeroo things if you want me to.

You can blame me for that. Amethysts are hard to come by, I had to make an offer...

Nope. I want it. No switcheroos.

Hey I'll counteroffer if someone is interested in a Zoot's plaything.

[CMP]

So Cronk won't drink Mead because he's a Paladin.....but he'll wield a sword used by an insane splinter of a god to slaughter to his allies?

Fair enough.

[Flipz]

Are we perhaps seeing a crack in Cronk's holiest-of-holies facade? Or does CorneliusMurdock just want an Amethyst after having to fight all those Holy enemies?

Who said Cronk was going to wield it?

I'll be fine without the sword if I get the Splinter.

[Flipz]

I'll be fine without the sword if I get the Splinter.

To be honest, I think the Splinter was designed for Cronk. I was going to say something in-character, but then Cronk had to go and argue with Arthur.

Cronk can't help it if Arthur is wrong. Cronk is a pretty relaxed guy but I think he may be close to giving up on Arthur. Some people can't be saved.

Cronk won't drink mead or most consumables because of his past. It has nothing to do with being a paladin.

[Tanma]

Cronk, never stop being you.

[Myrddyn]

Sorry Sandy, I will probably not have Internet access for 3 days or so.

If someone in Quest #44 could control Erik if necessary, that would be appreciated.

[Flipz]

Cronk actually believes that?! wow, I never thought I'd say this, but Arthur is actually more optimistic than Cronk if that's the case.

[CMP]

Wow, I never thought I'd say this, but Arthur is actually more optimistic than Cronk if that's the case.

Optimism is looking on the bright side of things, not the twisted version of what someone thinks is the bright side of things.

And now, with about a page or more left in Quest 38, it's my pleasure to announce the NPCs who will be appearing in the Final Wren Quest:

Wren, Felton, Hans, Phil, McColt, Poletad, Vipera, Vonnetate, Mallelio, Sphinx, XX, Johnny Everyman, The Gray Wizard, Traid, Bal, Lt. Darkwood, The Brothers Zoot (4 of those guys!), and The Ancient Man

Hope that list gets people excited!! Should be a few faces people are excited to see again.

[CMP]

Sounds awesome! Glad to see Mallelio and XX will be making an appearance.

Sorry, I keep missing it...how does Poletad communicate with the non-animal talking NPCs again?

[Zepher]

Well... sometimes I cheat a little, and I let Skrall talk to him last time in broken Frog, because he had used it so much. Most everyone else without animal talk can't really communicate with him.
