Three things from the pseudo-table from the run going on last night:

Shrike7: also, glad to see my ebil tomfoolery has gone without retaliation, as yet. XD
Seretis: *YET* *evil grin*

Seretis: And yeah, was only the three of you in that cell. There's really not that many prisoners present at one time.
Seretis: Probably only a dozen tops, scattered throughout the whole prison part.

Seretis: Like I said in the description of the place in the RCSD thread, it's called a prison, but it's really more of an execution site. They don't tend to have/keep prisoners around more than a couple of days.

Since he seems to be becoming semi-important:

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

Putting this here, since it seems to be the most affected spot:

As a small note, I've been considering some changes and re-writes to the setting, and those would inevitably change things up enough that a reset would be required. Those changes are still being considered, but I'm going to give fair warning.

EDIT: Re-writes underway/done.

Will be posting the restart sometime tonight.

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

I'm considering testing a mechanic idea inspired by LOTRO...

It would operate as follows:

Certain locations or entities would have a "Dread Rating". As characters enter those areas, or get closer to those entities, their "Dread" would increase, operating as a penalty to all rolls. The penalty goes away once the affected character is removed from the source of Dread.

Alternatively, there'd be a "Hope Rating" for certain other locations or entities, which would act similar, but give a bonus instead. Sources of Hope or Dread that come into conflict (i.e., two major NPCs present, one with a Hope Rating and one with a Dread Rating) would either completely cancel each other out, or the high one's effect would be reduced by the lower one's value.

So, for instance, a Dread 8 (-8) NPC is challenged by a Hope 14 (+14) NPC. End result for others in the area: +6 bonus to all rolls.

Probably a fair bit higher than what I'd use in game, but that's just an example of what I'm meaning.

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

So, question for Shrike and Chameon, if all interest hasn't been lost on this yet:

Any objections to me coming up with something for prodding your characters in-game, kind of like I've been doing with Caulder's character and the whispers?

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

could probably work something out, aye. Though Elise at least is focused in the proper direction already, so not sure if it's entirely necessary to add motivation.

 

[Chameon]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

Eh, sure. At least gives something to make the game continue, and if it gets you back to being interested, sure thing.

 

[ShadowWolfSBI]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

Was really just checking, since the use of those whispers could have been seen as emphasizing the role of Caulder's character.

Also, seem to be waiting on some posts...

 

[Chameon]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

What am I going to post that I didn't post last time? All I can really do is start up a convo with the guys up front, and I'm on the back of the cart. Wooden carts, unless the magic included sound dampening, are loud buggers.

 

[ShadowWolfSBI]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

That about waiting on posting was kind of directed at Caulder... Waiting on him in a couple of things, to be honest.

 

[ShadowWolfSBI]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

For those heading into the structure, a Spot check will give you some extra details.

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

i dun have invisible castle handy at the moment, so i'll just take 10, if that's alright. totals to 17.

 

[ShadowWolfSBI]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

Yeah, taking 10 works.

 

[ShadowWolfSBI]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

If this hasn't been totally abandoned, nothing has moved in between the pair and the scout, so a regroup is clear.

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Shadowed Path storyline OOC

Well, i have last post, and both the others seem more likely to begin something worth a post IC, soo I will wait.
