Weirdsound, what the hell? I have never, ever seen rolls go this badly twice in a row. I want to cry and laugh at the same time. At least Tulwor gets to fight.

Damnit, Auratus, keep your pirates under control. I'm holding you responsible.

I like that the first words of this turn are "The worst day of your life."

So yeah, wow. That's... that's something. That is definitely something.

Perhaps having the crit chance at 5% on both ends is a bit much...  But nothing could have stopped that nat 100 from messing up Pyrite's day.

Anyway, I think I would like to roll both combats at once, so I'm waiting on Tulwor's response to the fight.

Also, since Ketemos is the only one to have any RPs, (So far. Ketari is still sitting on her interaction), everybody can start RPing with NPCs as soon as the fights are out of the way.

Edit: Actually, I forgot Auratus only partially failed his attempt to find Haze, and also has an RP, but I'll still let everybody else RP early if they wish...

You wish 

-Corusu's Wing completed its mission, but on its way back to Kiatown spotted the pirate blockade. It promptly changed course, heading in the direction of Volcano, seat of House Skullcrest, where it will likely seek aid.

Yeah... "something" tells me that we won't be able to expect help from there anytime soon. Which-ever way the battle with the dread pirates went, they surely wrought serious damages on their navy, if not the city as a whole.


On the matter of rolls, random.org also pulled some numbers on me that I found rather questionable, multiple times even. I use real dice nowadays - also got a much nicer feel to it, as far as I am concerned. Well, just saying is all.

Edit:

Right, since it came into talk this round, and I was wondering about it somewhat either way. What would being a governor of a city, or similiar circumstances that would bar one from newbellum castle for some time entail? Any assorted mali or boni to doing that?

[Weirdsound]

I will cross that mechanical bridge when and if we come to it.

Edit: At the very least, it means you wont be able to use the various useful castle resources.

This seems like quite a thread. Would it be possible for players to not be Belian gods? Like, make someone who would have far less power, or someone who actively opposes the Belians?

[Digital Hellhound]

I feel deliciously bloodthirsty. Okay, the mortals could just as well all die, but Tulwor'll be fine no matter the outcome, so it's all good fun. Still, would be nice to get expected or unexpected reinforcements. But. Well. BLOOOOOOD.

I have something about that a few pages back. I'll look it up for you in a sec...

I am? I thought my interaction was talking to Patches?

Ok, then.

Well, i should have 3? batches of Barkers I could assist with.

There's, for example, a blockading fleet that could use sinking. I'll note godly intervention might result in Orcish godly intervention. There is no possible way for Tulwor not to join the fight in a situation like this, but well.

Ah, bloody Orcs. Who here has the in-character motivation to genocide the lot of them?

[Weirdsound]

Quoted for Again_Dejavu's benifit. Also see the second post on page one of this thread.

Alright. So I noticed many people have requested to be on the waitlist, even though I don't recall saying there would be one. Waitlist implies that people are waiting in some order to be let into the game, and if I simply let more players in, it will be based on how their sheet and back-story meshes with present game circumstances.

Therefore, I am introducing the Participation Pool. Not only does the participation pool serve as an index of pre-made sheets belonging to players interested in joining, but it also allows these players to each adopt an NPC. Players are allowed to control their Adopted NPCs should they end up RPing with the gods, will get a single action per turn should their NPC become an actor, and will get to join the game should their adopted NPC be elevated to godhood (and I suspect that this group of PCs might be more interested in making/elevating their own gods than begging Rexxis to send them another one should anybody die).

Participation Pool Application:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Player Name:

Pre-Made Sheet: Either link to an old post, or make a new sheet following the instructions in the OP.
Adopted NPC: Can be any non-actor NPC stored in Newbellum Castle as a resource, and/or any non-actor NPC listed on the Wiki-Page listing them. If your adopted NPC is something generic, such as a captured Orc or Harpy, give it a name. Also, I have made a ban-list of NPCs I have become attached to or have plans for. Do not attempt to adopt NPCs from that list.

NPCs Banned From Being Adopted:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Canvas
Messel, son of Messel
Hialarth of Infelix and Wildefair
Dread Pirate Scion
Rook the Searoc
Princess Summer Aluorthin

Do note, the list on the Wiki is a bit out of date, and if you want an NPC mentioned, but not listed there, just ask. If you don't want to whip up a character sheet for a god just yet, I wont make you.

Then just make sure that there are no enemy survivors to tell the orc gods.
Kill 'em all!

I think you have two... I never rolled the strength for the second pack though, and you are due to roll for this months batch of Barkers I think. We shall see if that gives you enough to make a third.

Fakedit: Just rolled the power for that second barker pack. Random.org continues to hate, as you got a 1. Do you want to make that its own Host, or just add that onto your already existing pack?

[GiglameshDespair]

I think I'll just add that onto my first pack...

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4629003/

Oooh. Another fifty.

So I'll have one pack strength 7, the howlers, however many of those i have/will grow in time, and 53 spare I can make into a new pack... leaving 13 or so remaining. They can just camp out on Barker Isle.

[Weirdsound]

I just had you make the Barkers from scratch. You have 60 now, can use 40 to make a pack, and will have 20 leftover.
