				Alright, here's my thoughts:<br><br><strong>Isma</strong> is keeping an important secret from me.&nbsp; Just what does she hide behind that mask of hers?&nbsp; Not the fool's mask, I've seen the face beneath that, of course.&nbsp; I mean all the secrets she keeps, about her past, who she is.&nbsp; I'm used to being the one who keeps secrets; I don't like it when other people have them from me.<br><br><strong>Seras</strong> is woefully misinformed about the world; I will teach her all I can.&nbsp; Poor girl, she's got a good heart, but, well, Warsworn are brought up to be killers, and not much else.&nbsp; Living her whole life in a cult like that, she's never gotten to experience the wider world, not the way normal folks do...well, not that I'm normal folks myself, but still.&nbsp; Anyway, she could stand learning to cut loose and have a good time, and I'll be more than happy to help.

				@ZincStandard I think the bond is good, though Isma would be new enough to the party that neither of them have actually seen her face yet. She's not part of their regular adventuring party she's just crawled up from out of the wood works when news of all the strange phenomenon around Rieglief Valley started spreading. <br><br>As for her own bonds, my suggestions are:<br><br><span class="bbc_u">One day, the time may come to slay <strong>Yulia</strong></span>: A full bodied and robust creature she is. I've always believed the blood of beautiful people tastes much more decadent, not to mention she still caries the subtle sweetness of youth. Even beyond that it's common knowledge that a witch's blood holds fragments of their power, and consuming it makes you even stronger than before, making her three times the enticing meal. She would make a fine dessert to cap off this grand <del>feast</del> adventure, and given her fondness for challenging convention I doubt anyone would miss her greatly. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Seras</span></strong><span class="bbc_u"> shares my thirst for combat</span>: While her's might be fueled by foolish fanaticism rather than hunger, I can sense that same drive within her. The need stretch one's claws and see powerful beings fall before you. I should be careful, least she end up seeing me as one of her "worthy foes", and so I'll simply play the affable fool. Besides, while a warrior's blood is quite savory, given her diminutive size I don't think there's enough reward to make the endeavor of slaying her worth wile, too much risk for too little blood.

				I think I'll offer these up as my Bonds.&nbsp; I kicked around other variations for a while, but I figure these are the strongest.<br><br>•&nbsp; <em>I worry about the ability of <strong>Isma</strong> to survive in the dungeon.</em>&nbsp; Don't get me wrong, the jester is a fine killer, but she's driven by a <em>sickness</em>.&nbsp; If she goes too long without blood, she gets distracted, erratic ... that carelessness has been the undoing of many with sounder minds.<br><br>•&nbsp; <em>I have sworn to protect <strong>Yulia</strong>.</em>&nbsp; The scholar should be grateful, someone in Ovesgar seems invested in her well-being.&nbsp; To be specific, they invested coin into a Warsworn to ensure her safety.&nbsp; Earning her trust as a "cultist" and "killer" wasn't easy, but then, it's difficult to find mercenaries who'll sign on to guard a Witch.

				Ok checking other characters I thought bonds could go this way, let me know what you think.

				Adding another Bond for the new blood:<br><br>•&nbsp; <em><strong>Vafi</strong> owes me her life, whether she admits it or not.</em>&nbsp; Moving through the mountain pass, the caravan was beset by gargoyles.&nbsp; The church of Ciela trained Vafi well, I don't doubt she'd have done fine against bandits or hobs, but she's still green and flying enemies took her offguard.&nbsp; A few tried to fly off with her, intent to drop her and dash her against the rocks, but I managed to hit one with a thrown spear.&nbsp; She was too heavy for the other to carry on its lonesome, but she grabbed ahold of it, letting its thrashing wings slow her fall until they crashed and she jammed the edge of her shield into its throat.

				<span class="bbc_u">I can always count on <strong>Vafi</strong> to lead me to a kill</span>: After all she's one of those virtuous types, always marching into danger seeking to dole out "justice". Those holy types are like moths, ever drawn towards evil like a flame, ignorant of how easily they can get burned by it. No matter, I have no problem chasing those moths if it draws me towards my real prey, so she makes great bait in that regard, especially in the breeding months due to those fat tits and tight ass of her's.

				Writing in a custom bond:<br><br><strong>Vafi</strong> has challenged my assumptions about religious folks.&nbsp; Time was, I wouldn't have so much as looked at a paladin or witch hunter without putting a curse on them.&nbsp; I figured they were all self-righteous, hypocritical murderers.&nbsp; To be honest, I'm still not totally sure they aren't, but...well, if there are any good ones, Vafi's one of them.&nbsp; She's the first who hasn't tried to chop off my head or burn me at the stake once she saw me using my art, anyway.&nbsp; That counts for something.

				Well, personally, I'm really not a fan of the whole "party members can hate or distrust each other but still work together" convention.&nbsp; It always ends up requiring the players involved to twist themselves into knots to make excuses for why their character doesn't just leave the party, when that problem doesn't need to exist at all if it's just required that all party members be actively willing to get along.&nbsp; Is there some reason I can't go with my version of the bond, since it still leaves plenty of room for a changing relationship?

				Speaking of Seras staying behind with Yulia, we should talk about relationships beyond just bonds.&nbsp; I see Seras as being the person Yulia has known the longest and is most comfortable with, and probably the only one she'd be interested in a sexual relationship with right now; Dreamer, do you think they'd have one already?&nbsp; If not, let me know if you'd want that to develop later, or not at all.

				I'm fine with them having known each other longest.&nbsp; It kinda of suggests that they probably joined the caravan to they valley around the same time, maybe with Seras on the payroll to make sure she gets there in one piece.&nbsp; Either way, they've had some time to get accustomed to one another.<br><br>As for whether or not their relationship has moved to the carnal, I'm a little split.&nbsp; I'm open to it, but I think Seras's initial move would be to deflect.&nbsp; You know, kind of a "How am I to keep you safe, away from my arms and tangled in you bedroll?" response, but not a hard rejection.&nbsp; I'm not sure if Yulia is the sort to try and brush that sort of thing aside (she's got the confidence and the body, she could probably roll over Seras's defenses on that front), or if she'd rather tease and leave things at a simmer until they're "someplace safe" to to broach the subject again.<br><br>Of course, the Bar Guest is "someplace safe", everybody was clean and fed, it might've come up again depending on how tired people were.&nbsp; Could've used some Invisibility to sneak a rendezvous depending on the sleeping situation.&nbsp; Either way, we've confirmed she didn't get a chance to prepare spells last night.<br><br>Essentially, I'm pliable on the subject, future or past.

				I was thinking they even might've worked together before joining the caravan.&nbsp; The bond system does imply that this isn't the first time everyone in the party has adventured together.&nbsp; Anyway, it probably doesn't really matter.<br><br>As for Seras' reluctance, Yulia wouldn't force it, but she probably wouldn't give up after one refusal either.&nbsp; So I think it's most likely she backed off the first time, but kept trying over the course of the trip, well before they reached the inn; if you think Seras would've caved under further pressure, it probably happened during that time.&nbsp; I do like the idea of a rendezvous last night, <em>invisibility</em> or no (and I'll suggest yes, just for the fun of the image).<br><br>Anyway, the thought that brought all this on was wondering whether Seras might be up for helping Yulia relax a little while she works on her spells, if asked.

				Currently I also think that Vafi feels closer to Seras but if Yulia and Seras stay behind and Isma and Vafi go ahead on their own it would be a good chance to develop more about their relationship.<br><br>Vafi is very friendly and helpful, that's why she ended up interceding on Ismas's behalf but she'd be very strict and upright as well and that's what make her dominant overall and would want to sanction the jester girl too, although she'd be pretty naive and might even be somewhat gullible as well.

				Oh so it happens at the same time? I thought that with it dying it wouldn't be able to counter. I guess I'll just make a small edit on my post after Blank posts.<br><br>By the way does it roll attack or just damage for this counter? I haven't seen much combat yet in DW. :P

				It says it "attacks back" and it is left to be fairly ambiguous intentionally, damage being one of the options.&nbsp; Since you killed it, I'll do something slightly different.

				Well, most movie special effects folks I know make their monster-goo edible and sweet (in the name of safety).&nbsp; I'd lay even odds that it tastes like corn syrup.&nbsp; Or nothing.&nbsp; The Ghostbusters slime had no taste, it was basically watered down pie filling with food coloring.<br><br>Out of character, anyway.<br><br>In character, it probably tastes like <strong>Consequences</strong>.

				Hello everyone!<br><br>I'm writing you today to say that I won't be continuing as GM for this game.&nbsp; Regretfully, I don't have the time and energy to give this thread the love it needs.&nbsp; You all deserve a prompt and clear answer.&nbsp; I'm not a fan of ghosting on people, despite how hard it is to potentially let folks down.<br><br>I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this game. I am delighted by your creativity and camaraderie.&nbsp; I'm also sorry for backing down from the commitment of the GM role.&nbsp; I know this may be a disappointment for some or all of you.&nbsp; Especially Zero, since he put in effort to create a character and to post, only for me to resign. I'm very sorry.<br><br>If you wish to continue the game by finding a new GM, continuing in free form or some other format, I would encourage it.&nbsp; Likewise, if you wish to discontinue, I would also completely understand.<br><br>Again, I'm sorry for my resignation.
