"... I don't like where this is going. And as for why I appeared: the crystal. All of our family members have a soulbound crystal that records the events of their death and then returns to the designated mage. In No's case, that was me. Let me assure you that your deaths will be as painful as possible, as painful as my nephew's death."

You really shouldn't have told everyone that you were out to kill us. I learned that lesson recently.

"Hmm. It would be very stupid to let him go off on his own, and it would be wrong to kill him. Another family member would probably spawn in seeking revenge if we did. Maybe we should take him as a prisoner of war..."

"I could put him under a geas."

Dice were rolled, and decided that James summoned a bunch of sand, and swore only out of surprise.

Since poll results seemed rather one-sided, there is a new poll now.

[FallacyofUrist]

((Suffice it to say that his affinity would pretty much let him ignore such a geas.))

"It is understandable. I have great powers however, and I think it is manageable."

[Beirus]

"A second threat? This man clearly harbors a hate for us that will only fester if he is allowed to live. We should kill him. I do understand if you do not wish ro participate in such an act, James. As for the soul bound crystal calling for another of his family, I believe I can stop that."

[FallacyofUrist]

"Trying that will likely get you killed. Besides, I left a letter in Null's room just in case my crystal somehow failed."

*Meanwhile, within the tower of Nevermore clan.*

Great fire raged, burning through stacks of ancient tomes, only to be extinguished by a stream of acid. A man of pure energy was dueling against Null, loosing badly but refusing to give up. Giving up on physical attacks, he attempted to attack Nulls' mind directly. The attempt failed, and Null responded with a strike of lightning. It whirred around the energy man, deflected by invisible shield, and struck Nulls favorite table within which he kept all important documents concerning the clan. Paper and wood were incinerated instantly. "Oh well", Null thought," I learned to keep anything important away from places where duels happen". Even though it was the table which he used almost every day to deal with all manner of bureaucracy, sometimes even important things, like new forms of magic, anything he kept there had backups elsewhere. That 'copy writing' spell was incredibly helpful. Still, he kept the table here because it was convenient, and making him to go through the trouble of hauling another table here was an insult he would not forgive. With new ferocity, Null charged at energy mage, his enchanted sword in hand, completely ignorant to a letter one of his clan now burning to ashes on the remains of the table.

((I think that means no more legacy characters for you. ))

((Dude. The letter was at Null's bedroom, not his office/library. When you see a letter with the name of your third-in-command on it on your pillow, you typically read it immediately. Null isn't devoid of common sense. Nor is None.))

((That was the GM. That was not a player making up a story about why you should stop this. That was a polite request for you to stop dressed up in a fancy way of saying it, and it is backed up by an implicit threat. Do not displease the GM, for he will screw you over. He can and will force you out of the game if he has to.))

[FallacyofUrist]

((I suppose so. After None dies, I'm probably going to wait ten turns or so before sending in another Nevermore, likely because his crystal will be destroyed by some unknown force and it would take a while for the others to realize he's gone and attempt to track him.))

Edit: ((If None dies, that is. Although it's likely, who knows? Perhaps my imaginative affinity will be enough to let me win.))

[ATHATH]

my imaginative affinity

Aha!

If that isn't it, is your affinity crystals?

[XXXXYYYY]

I think he was referring to how he was imaginative in coming up with it, not that his affinity was "imagination".

[endlessblaze]

another three essences

[FallacyofUrist]

((Good ideas, both, but No.))

[ATHATH]

((Good ideas, both, but No.))

Wait.

Is your affinity anti-magic?
