				Congratulations, you get to start on a Sarista wedding &gt;:)!<br>You can now post what your characters are doing :P.<br><br><br><br><br>Keep in mind, marriage is a strange and complex affair among the Sarista. At the root of the complexity lies a tradition of polygamy that both sexes of the Sarista practice commonly. With divorce rare and the average Sarista eventually marrying two to four spouses, familial ties become... quite complex? Labyrinth-like? You pick it :P. <br>Having halfsiblings and stepsiblings in one’s clan is more often the norm than the exception.<br><br>A Certament is a Zandir duelist, whether he uses magic to boost his abilities or not. They might be less-than-savoury types.<br>At least, they are always well-dressed :P.<br><br>Anyone who is not specifically invited to a tent, will sleep in the central tent. However, other bedtime arrangements are available with a bit of charm ;D!<br><br>And yes - the NPC whose internal monologue is presenting you the surroundings is indeed Rastur, Viorica's father ;).<br><br><br>Adding the list of threads in my first post of the thread, too.<br>IC thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.0)<br>Chargen thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82053.0)<br>OOC thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82054.0)<br>Recruitment thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=81598.0)<br>Have fun!

				It seems to be doing it lately. Not quite helpful for my urges to study. Regarding Talislanta, I took a Jaka and madehim wandering, assasin and hunter. That's ok? The inventory is what is bugging me now, can I convert anything sellable to gold and then purchase more appropiate gear for the background? Or perhaps change a few things for cost equivalents that would fit the background?

				If it fits your story, wandering, assassin, hunter are fine system-wise.<br><br>I thought the paths come with background-appropriate gear? If this is not the case, please mention what you are changing, but as long as it's roughly the same cost, I'm inclined to approve it ;)!

				LOL I guess my character gets more involvement than I was expecting!&nbsp; I finally brush up on what's going on and see that my character's family is having a wedding.&nbsp; I was going to laugh even harder if it was Viorica's wedding.&nbsp; So far she's only been married once.&nbsp; I expect because it was kind of an ordeal rather than a normal marriage she's been reluctant to tie the knot again.&nbsp; Though I can see where her father might still be looking for some suitable matches for her, even among the foreigners. Especially since her time away from her family has left her to be something of a spinster (doh!)<br><br>If it was Viorica's wedding though I think the husband would have to be mostly for looks, maybe include him in her luggage.&nbsp; She does have two Equs after all.&nbsp; I'd rather say it is a cousin or sister's wedding since that avoids weird complications and hangers on.&nbsp; Besides I think she might like to dance for the Thaecian if she was so keen on inviting him to play music at the wedding. <br><br>I want to say that the reason she invited the Thaecian is that he helped her out when she was on the run after killing her foreign husband.&nbsp; That seems like the sort of thing a cavalier minstrel might do and if he is in good with the Saristra he might have been able to get her back in touch with her family quickly.&nbsp; For that she would definitely be grateful.

				Leorobin, as you can guess, the muse is going to try and prod your psyche during the conversation, and she has the best tea you can ask for :P.<br>Would you send me a WILL+Assassin roll at penalty 7 to see how well the Jaka can control his thoughts? I agree this skill would help you to hide your intentions.<br>If you get a full or excellent success, you hide from her, and an excellent success would even persuade her your character has a gentle soul &gt;:)!<br><br>Unlike many games, you can describe your successes, and if you want to, you can even describe the failures - or you can elect to leave it to me.

				I'm not sure if I posted my combat round correctly. I sucked at my initiative roll. w00t. 3. And then, I rolled at 12 for my attack, added +2 for my skill in the weapon. I'm assuming you will deduct any modifers and correct the total. Also, for your knowledge--Aevala is wearing leather armor and she has an evade skill of +3. I'm sure at least one of those will come into play here, but we'll see if there's anything left of the murderer by her action.

				Okay. So, for my character's last post--I'm trying to do an advance, as stated--but I'm not sure if she will close the distance. She has a +1 to speed, where Dingo doesn't. So, if she can reach the guy in 75 feet, she should be able to hit him. -- If so, here is the attack roll: &nbsp;rolls: 1d20a+3 Result: 18 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=19496). I remembered to add my combat thingy this time! Yay. So +1 for CR and +2 for weapon. Again, will allow you to deduct any modifers, because I have no idea what the spell is doing. xD <br><br>If she cannot reach him, I guess she will move 75 feet and be on defense and/or find cover if available.

Hehe. <br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>This is an usual assumption, but you know what they say about assuming, right &gt;:)?<br><br>Let me state this crystal clear. It applies whenever I am GMing, whether tabletop, on Skype, or PbP.<br>When I GM, the rolls stand as they are. If I think it's too easy to merit a roll, you don't have to roll, just describe it. If I don't believe it's possible no matter what, you don't get to roll, at all.<br>And if I call for a roll, you would be able to see the result, as depicted in the Success table, will stand no matter what. The plot will adapt to your actions, not the other way around!<br>I also don't use a GM screen, as I think it's actually a poor idea both for the immersion, and for the group dynamics. You can see my rolls in the diceroller, and I can see yours. They will be interpreted according to the rules, as written or as modified. You will be notified about house-rules the moment I decide to implement them, though.<br>I was even thinking of starting The Oath of Thufir Hawat, similar to the Oath of Drake, but for GMs ;D.<br><br>Of course, the following only applies to me, and GMs who agree with me explicitly. MadPanda is usually on the same wavelength with me, but he might have a bit different ideas, or he might have the same ideas. We'll see when it's his turn to GM the game.<br><br>So, in a way, these two PCs are a <strong>huge</strong> exception to the usual transparent rolls. I'm just too lazy to roll with a diceroller when I have to both roll and interpret the results. The dice are closer.<br>More importantly, I hope you believe me that I did roll for them and these were the results. The funny part is, in this battle I rolled the lowest for my own PCs :D!

				No, he hasn't started running, and some of you might have even acted before the spell, if not for the Partial successes.<br>After all, you can't spot only half of him, but it might take a bit longer than expected ;).<br><br>He's still evading at a -5, no penalties for darkness, but a small target.

				Thank you. I'll post in a few seconds, Kalaj will try an aimed shot for the object he is holding with one of his knifes.

				So, to summarize events from last round.<br>The second spell goes off.<br>Kalaj knocks the icon from the man's hand. This hardens his resolve to run away from you, sacrilegious bunch 8-)!<br>Aevala connects. You can now safely assume that one of the two spells was employing either Ward or Defence mode, as the strike does little more than scoring a point against his plain-looking clothes ;).<br>He uses a second action, using Move, by the rules, this gives him a -5 penalty, but with modifiers, and rolling a 16, he is still able to make it. Hereby I declare a house-rule that your second action happens on an initiative counts 5 lower than what you rolled, and that's how I described it ;D!<br>Aevala would have to make an opposed Move or some kind of stunt to get in reach again, and Kalaj wouldn't have line of sight any longer if his initiative count is lower than the murderer's in the next round.

				Oh, and he almost botched his Movement roll. It would have been fun, but he didn't have enough penalties, hence I allowed him to trip and regain his feet with Acrobatics, purely as a description ;D.<br>I think after his first jump it was no longer a secret that he's good at acrobatics, was it?

				Note she needs to use Brawling, so it's undoubled Combat rating for her. On the other hand, you didn't need the Strength roll. Well, I would have used it for a Speed test, if he haven't rolled less for Initiative :P.<br>Still, a partial success is good enough in this case, allowing you to latch on to him. I think a -5 penalty would be enough to account for the fact that the guy has only one arm functioning, due to Kalaj's knife earlier in the scene.<br>Edited to add, the best part is he botched his attempt to get free, and I rule this means you're getting a full hold on him now, as per the rules ;).

				Muses can be distracting, yes &gt;:)! Still, your participation wasn't that high.<br><br>Adija gets 3 XP for participating, and 1 more XP for the roleplaying.

And he mirrors her in the roleplaying department, although they are quite different characters, so 2 more XP for him, too.<br><br>Xambrian Hunter gets 1 XP for participating.

As I said, they are my characters. One of them I'm going to play when I join the players, and MP gets the GM seat, so I don't get to award XP. It just wouldn't be fair.<br>You can vote for 0 XP, BTW, and personally, that's what I would be inclined to give them both if I was a player :P. However, voting here is mandatory.<br><br>Second, everyone can nominate 1 of the other players for outstanding contribution, excellent roleplaying, or the like. Each vote would net them 1 XP.<br>You don't have to do it, though. It's not like people didn't get some XP already. But if you feel I didn't award enough to somebody, you can change that :P!<br>Of course, you can also use your vote negatively, taking 1 XP away from somebody ;). It's your call whether and how to use this right.

				I think it makes sense for your characters to know this, as I'm not sure if it's setting cannon or something I decided. I make such decisions often, especially in absence of clues in the book, or if there are clues that I don't find when I'm looking for them. My attitude, backed by the Talislanta GM's guide, is that the GM's views on the setting always takes precedence.<br><br><br>So, Astromancy is not really popular around here. Finding an astromancer depends on your Knowledge skills and connections. The price he will claim depends on the deal you make, putting it honestly ;) . It's not like having market with fixed prices. Saristas are good hagglers, but so are mages with uncommon schools - they get a circumstance bonus for their deals.<br>Probably another 100 golden lumens would make it, but the real problem is travelling to find one. There are some in Zandu, probably, but this is not the most popular school, to put it mildly. To a Sarista, it means either the whole clan moving, or someone risking robbers and thieves.<br><br>Of course, the above statement of "GM's decision" does not preclude your input, being players, provided it's logical and based on true information. If you have some idea that is a logical consequence of what you already know, don't, and I repeat, <strong>don't hesitate to step forward and ask me if it's true!</strong> It might be something I missed, a single person is not omniscient, GM or not!<br><br>By the way, the reason a GM's decisions take precedence over the setting is just that we need someone to enforce setting's consistency with what happens in the story. Make no mistake - the setting is pre-determined, and not "built on the fly". If something contradicts information you receive during the game, either your logic is wrong, your sources didn't have the freshest or sufficient info, they lied to you for some reason, or there is a building conflict that might escalate in a trade war, war of ideas, or just plain old war, probably in less than a quarter century &gt;:)!<br><br>I think that became a long OOC post. Time to post the IC. Also, a tl'dr version means - astromancers are hard to find, their school is not too popular in Zandu.

				The game is slowed to a crawl again. Ah well, I'll just use the time to ask your opinions on some OOC decisions.<br><br>First, I've been toying with the idea of introducing [urhttp://www.vsca.ca/Diaspora/diaspora-srd.html#aspects]Aspects[/url] that you can activate once per scene after a roll for a +1 or +2 bonus. Of course, that would mean they can be compelled, too 8-)!<br><br>Second, I'm considering to allow Death Gifts (https://sites.google.com/site/amagigames/the-death-gift) just in case a PC dies. No, I don't envision anyone dying, but it's always a possibility. Why not make it fun &gt;:)?<br><br>Third, I'm considering whether to start a re-recruitment thread in the near future. The main advantage of small groups is that the game can move faster, but we aren't really using it.<br><br>Opinions?<br><br><br>And yes, I'm not replying to MadPanda yet. Don't want the game to look like a one-on-one, so I'm waiting for everybody else to write. I'm sorry, MP!

				:D I didn't even have to use the big drugs today! Wrist is oodles better. And alas, I didn't hurt anyone in the process of injuring myself...

				Of course, either is fine, but again - how do you imagine the compel? Looking at a Virago's blossom after being told not to stare, or what ;D?<br>Something like "dead-shot eye" would be easier to compel by having NPCs be scared by his eyes when he doesn't want them to. It would still give you a boost to throwing or intimidation when you decide you need one.<br>Of course, you can refuse the compel, too, if it sounds like too much trouble ;) .<br><br>I'll post IC now, and if I have the time after that, I'll add a re-recruitment, too.

				Strong suits of talislanta, at least system wise, is that you can play most races and not worry about ECL or any other stupid crap. :] It's a free-flowing system that allows for a lot of different possibilities and promotes characters being more 3D by allowing them to start with several different paths. Game wise, we just finished the first adventure, and ready for more. I guess we may need to finish up with the evening sooner or later. ;3 But it's a lot of fun, talking and roleplaying. I like how it's not just combat, but a good combination of everything! There is culture, history, combat, romance possibilities, and much, much more in the games thus far. :] And I'm sure it's only going to get more interesting from here.

				Check the spoiler in my last IC post and we'll see &gt;:)!<br><br><br>Leorobin, I edited that post heavily. Go check it, too, there is now a section for you, with your own spoiler and another thread ;) .<br><br><br>Also, guys, Petrosity left us, due to real-life commitments not allowing her enough time for her E. games.<br>In our game, this will be reasoned as her character getting a case of flu, or something exotic and appropriate for Talislanta. If she decides to join again, her character is "in cold storage", much like Drift's. She might even need some help getting a remedy, I have yet to decide. As you can guess, this wasn't a planned event ;).<br>Anyone got any objections to this decision? Remember, when I say "our game" and not "my game", I mean it, and yes, everyone can object if you think I'm showing favouritism or, quite the opposite, screwing someone over!<br><br><br>Meanwhile, both of you would play out your scenes separately. At the same time, we'll continue with the game, too!<br>I'll write up the first thing on the morning right after I decide on the XP for the scene. As before, you can vote, and Aevala is still eligible. Dingo and the Thaecian, however, aren't, as they barely registered any screen-time.<br><br>One last thing, I think I need to open a re-recruitment thread. I guess female players would be preferred, as I can see the need for a gender balance. Anyone got an idea for a successful pitch that would attract more players?<br><br>In short, how would you describe this game to another user of E., if you want to maximize the chance she would be enthusiastic to play it :P?

				Your post count is impressive, which is obvious, and if anyone inquires, I can attest you're a good player ;) .&nbsp; Also, everybody you've played with probably can attest you run good games, too, and that's if anyone bothers to check at all, which most people don't.<br>All of this matters in an online community, though, in my experience.<br><br>As for botching RL diplomacy checks, hey, I know enough people that botch those regularly, and some of them have a PhD or better in Diplomacy or Political sciences ;D!

Also, 1 bonus XP for the dance descriptions, since I liked them, for a total of 5 XP by the GM.<br><br>Adjia is playing her role of a well-informed, but too worried about her appearance. Also, MP was posting really consistent - I remember having to stop posting so we don't swarm the thread. Happened more than once, too. Congratulations, you get the maximum 5XP for participation, and 1 bonus XP for roleplaying! Adjia is fun.<br><br>Kalaj was less active, but still posted regularly. So, I think another 4 XP is in order here. And he played his role rather, shall I say, entertainingly ;D! Get 1 bonus XP for this, too.<br><br>Now it's up to the players to vote for XP rewards. The last time we did this was on page 7 of the OOC thread ;).

				As he's at least partially surprised, go for a -4 penalty to hit an arm or leg, -2 to hit him in the chest, keeping in mind he's got armour there, or -6 to hit him in the head.<br>If you also want to hit someone else, too, the penalty is a further -3 for the same areas, because they're easier targets, being fully surprised, but you get a -5 for a second action ;).<br>I also remind you of your Aspects, and if you decide to use them to re-roll, you can pick a different target altogether.

				Nasty, the second one is a critical!<br>Keep in mind, the Assassinate bonus to attack isn't always "on" even against a surprised enemy, IIRC, or might not be treated as a bonus, but a replacement skill. (I might be wrong, didn't have the time to find the reference. It always adds to the damage, though, I'm pretty certain on this, and I made a snap decision that it applies in this case).<br><br>Either way, looks like this fight isn't going to last really long!

				It's in the book, where it says "bonuses and penalties determined by the GM" ;).

				You should roll for your attack at least, yes. I don't want to roll for you, since in my last few rolls, I didn't roll over 6 in a week ;D.<br>Your bonus still applies, of course, the guy's skill in Parrying is 4, though ;).<br>On a Critical success, you can describe in an entertaining manner how you killed him outright and whether his body blocked the hatch. On a full success, you hurt him and hold him back, not allowing him to pass.<br>On a partial success, the wound is not enough to hold him back, unless you sacrifice your defence and get wounded automatically!<br>In the event of a less than critical success, though, you'd have to survive his counterattack before making your dash. Of course, he's mainly focused on defence, but the dice might get lucky for him.<br><br><br>And sure, you can learn about Yume. She's getting drunk, currently, since she liked what the muse ordered :P.

I guess he's counting on attracting the green and blue ones as clients &gt;:)!<br><br>Adjia is easy to describe. I can reply to that.<br><br>Also, we might get a new player, or not.

				Hmmm fame, yes, how nice. :D<br><br>Yes, he will try to. He has a reaction to magic although his talisman and the fearless trait allows him to be rational to it. If the flash is magic he will feel it, I think. If there is magic he will be prone to escape down the rope.

				It's quite obvious magic, of the kind some magic schools produce in addition to every spell. I admit I had forgotten he's afraid of magic.<br><br>And I fully agree with your idea, of course. As before, roll some Dexterity and some climbing-related skill to get down fast ;D!<br>You can describe the results in your post, too! As guidelines, on a full success, you're on a horse before they can cut the rope. On failure, they'll cut the rope. On a critical success, you'll be away before they can reach the rope, without incurring risk from missiles.<br>Sounds fair ;)?<br><br>Also, you don't need to ask me what your character would do, not unless there's mind-controlling magic.

				Guys, there is a problem, and I apologize for it.

I mean, I've got lots and lots of ideas (and for many genres), except they all don't fit this one!<br><br>I think it's better if I put it on hold for a while, and if I get back in the mood to run it, I'll PM you all to see if you would still be interested.
