Nnnnot after you offered to sell my info out to syv.

Wait, he did that?

I literally did that to try and get on his team's good side. I mainly meant components, but the only other things I would've CONSIDERED sharing were either public (like goods at a shop we don't want but they do) or stuff we weren't going to go near (like a dangerous outlaw or aggressive enemy Cabal).

Here's the specifics of the PM: doubt the quote will work, but I may as well try.

...It would be possible for me to act as a contact in another group for you. If I find information you might want, or you're looking for something from me, we could always arrange a trade or something.

..yeah, sounds a lot shadier than I intended.

[syvarris]

I did ask you outright whether you were saying you were offering to spy, and you never corrected that.  I would've been a lot more willing to discuss if you had simply said I misunderstood, and that you just wanted to share safe information.

Beyond that, even such inert things are dangerous to share.  If you say there's a dangerous outlaw in some city, that'll be warning everyone else that you were recently in that city--or you're making something up.  The former is bad for your team, while the latter is just bad.

I don't have anything against sharing truly safe information, like what can be bought in shops, if it won't risk my team.  I don't think that needs to be shared secretly between two players though, seems odd and limited.

[OceanSoul]

Not sure how I missed you reply there. Whoops.
Anyway, as for information being safe, there are two ways of having information that would hide any important information about me, even if it's not what I was doing with the information. First, news travels; I could've heard about the outlaw in Herrisberg from a traveler in Tare City, and it's pretty hard to distinguish. Second, I could allways provide a delay of several turns, or I whether 2 or 15. Still, the smallest details may be all that's necessary to reveal the truth of one's circumstances, so I'll try to refrain from such unless it's anti-mages or the like.

[ATHATH]

Actually, guys, can we make a universal pact to publicly post the locations of anti-mages whenever we find them? An agreed-upon allowed delay (like, say, 3-5 turns or so) for posting those locations might also be included in that pact.

[Toaster]

A bit behind, gotta double check everything, but I think I'm happy with my character.

Weren't you the double-spy in Perplexicon? You are the patron saint of deception.

[vishdafish]

Fountain of Skulls needs one more player to form a cabal! PM me or/and shadowclaw to join! 

[Lenglon]

I'm thinking of joining with a channeling invoker... with a spirit.

What would it mean as a non-servant with a spirit?

[SpottedWobbegong]

I'd like to join

Could the cabals write a bit of info about themselves? I wouldn't like to join some torture gang accidentally, and I'm too lazy to write PMs to every leader

[The Lupanian]

I wouldn't like to join some torture gang accidentally

really, those are the fun ones though

[syvarris]

Zerthel Zentol's core values are teamwork and progression; we want to grow stronger, together, staying close and tight-knit.  We haven't been doing much advertisement because we don't want to be a massive cabal--everyone who is already part of the cabal has to agree on a new recruit being accepted before they get in.  After all, if two people don't work well together, then we can't be very close-knit.  (Plus, it'd be no fun if any one cabal got too massive )

Action: Spawn at [REDACTED]

Spoiler: ZZ Cabal Actions (click to show/hide)

Everyone walks up river after changing some gear around in the group. Zaffre was never very advanced, even during the age of magic, and now its not much more than an overgrown fishing town filled with hunters from afar. Most of the buildings are round, wooden structures built from native trees and covered with roofs made of woven fronds and branches. Long canoes are moored up against the low dock that runs the entire length of the town, between the buildings and the river. In terms of major landmarks and things to see, there are effectively two: The market and the "Tooth and Nail" club.

The market is in the center of the town, but also right at its edge, just along the dock. From above, it would resemble a half circle courtyard pressed right up against the dock and the river. The courtyard is packed with wooden, open air stands selling their wares. Mostly fish and fruit, butchered livestock and a few tables full of local fetishes and talismans. It smells overwhelmingly of fish and the iron of blood, and flies swarm about  in thick clouds. The market seems to mostly be aimed at suppling food to travelers on the river or to the inhabitants of the town. The Tooth and Nail, thats where the good stuff is to be had. Its a big building, the only two story building in the village, and made in a way far sturdier and more advanced than the shacks around it. A sign hangs above its door, a faded red in comparison to the dark mahogony of the building itself.

"TOOTH AND NAIL"

And below the sign hangs the skull of some beast; massive fanged jaws and curing horns with a smashed in section right above one eye.  The Tooth and Nail is a hunter's club, a bar and trophy room for men to get drunk and boast of past exploits in. There are also traders here, merchants from somewhere deeper in the realm, maybe even Alkahest itself.  They sell weapons, armor, ammo and other goods related to the hunt. The heads and limbs and stuffed or desicated remains of all manner of beast coat its internal walls.  Men sit in decaying armchairs or on tread bare couches with warm tumblers of booze and eye you with dull curiousity as you enter.

One group stands out however; a group of young men a half dozen strong are talking to the bartender, grilling him about "That damned beast who has been carrying off locals for the past year."  Zack gets the attention of the rest of the group and then gestures stealthily at the Insignia the men have stitched to their clothing. The symbol of Alkahest's government; the gold tower in front of a white dome. These men have clearly been sent here on official business.


 

I'm thinking of joining with a channeling invoker... with a spirit.

What would it mean as a non-servant with a spirit?

It would mean you have some kind of invisible magical critter living inside you, talking to you, without contributing anything really.

So kind of like just having a mental illness. If that illness were actually alive and had powers.



So fist has formed but no one has posted an action or told me where their headquarters will be so....kinda not a lot going on with them.



Again, any independants that just wanna start playing and not join a cabal, at least right away?

Or any cabals still looking for members to form?
