Imma make this brief, because i haven't much time today, until much later, and I might sleep then.
I'm starting up the shopping trip tomorrow. I'll post a link there in the morning or so. Everyone is being dumped into that mission - wolfguy, timid baker, immobile object, and reclusive madman alike. I intend it to be short, and there should be game space there for the madman to develop his art. His current circle won't go away. Now, if you absolutely refuse to go, that's fine, i'll make do with however many, and will probably make it an escort mission for any new characters that get added while it is running, if there are such.
killer, your character's action nets him a small list of alchemic ingredients needed by the lab. And by the ton.
Egan, your action nets killer's guy an electrified ass, the smell of burnt hair, and a major case of annoyance.
Yoink, your action gets you dragged around by a troll for a while. he just sort of holds you under his arm like a forgotten teddy bear. your feet drag, and occasionally you are able to kinda crab walk along. in the end, you are deposited on the mission thread. You don't know quite how you got there. The troll, at least, somehow is not along. An odd pillar anda hairy guy that smells of burnt hair is.
Akuma, your action gets you the ability to direct the (5) flying, hissing cockroach with some simple directions and an effort of will. it seems, not exactly obedient, but as if it has been reprogrammed a bit. You can give it three preprogrammed actions to carry out when you concentrate and add a stimulus to it. You can select the stimuli to use as triggers, but a bit of your magic will be part of the action as well. Once chosen, those stimuli will be needed for Terry, your new flying hissing cockroach friend, to do your limited bidding.
