Wait, if this plays out to Karne's desires, does this mean he's going to become a dead god or summat?

Or is he just trying to leave the game? I'm not sure.

Well what happens ingame will be interesting. I don't know if his intent is to leave the game though.

The thing about writing fight scenes for things like this is that it's not good to write how the other characters are affected, like how you did.

I'm alright with the idea of Alcinoe getting hurt, but you should let me write the exact bits and pieces.

What if I wanted Alcinoe to be flung into the Aether and carve out a celestial realm from her fall or summat?

What if Caesar didn't want the Cave to be burned and stuff? Could a god of our pitiful power-level even damage it?

You should let the others write the bits where they play out how they're affected themselves, Karny.

Sorry. See, this is why I ran it in the OOC thread first (I actually typed it up in the Play thread but I decided at the last minute to run it by you guys.)

Also the cave wasn't as much burnt as slightly singed, which a god with 2 acts worth of explosive power ought to be able to do.

I was trying to give you as much slack as I could but still write a sort of scene where I could have the desired amount of Oomph behind it, which is hard to do since my plans have a tendency to be so convoluted it would be like trying to read Homestuck in an hour, and people tend to muck it up, which ends up with me getting frustrated trying to do what I want against what everyone else is trying to do and yadda yadda.

As for death, I thought you guys had made it so that the realm of death was whatever they thought it would be mixed with what they deserved? So Chlorine thought he would be going to the home of the titans, but since he was an arrogant dickhead he gets to go there but never arrive, just walk and walk and walk.

Gah, see? Chlorines fucking with my head. I need to eaither (A) take a break or (B) take over as some mortals where I can screw about on a scale too small to step on anyones toes.

I'm just having a bad game this time around. A Villain I am not.

That was the idea, yes. But first I have to take you there. Death collects the souls, either in person or via the Black Throne, and guides them to the Final Rest which manifests as whatever your mind expects your afterlife to be.

A god's soul, Death would come for personally. You can roleplay him grievously wounded and bleeding out, even falling unconscious, but you won't actually die until I take you. For most people it's automatic, Death wills the Throne to pass them into His realm.

Though, since the relative distances are fairly vague, a fiery explosion will affect more than just those involved...

Well, that rules out the explosion bit, since there isn't much to gather after you go Nova...

Acanthus, should we do a swordfight? And if so, how will we manage to pull off a double-ended-sword-fight between gods?

Yeah, a swordfight sounds good. Also, what d'you mean by 'double-ended', if you don't mind this incompetent boob asking?

Eh, it's not a problem. Death will hook your soul out of the largest gooey bit left behind, or it will just be floating there unconscious and he'll collect it

I wouldn't need approval to burn down a hut. I would need to coordinate if I wanted to destroy the realm of dreams. :P

That seems like a pretty logical next step if he wants more souls. Mahet might have something to say about that, though.

To be clear, is the Crucible still feeding Death power as well or has the entire thing gone useless to him? He's very likely to just rip it out and destroy it as a failed experiment if so.

It will in fact generate power from the dead, although the Shaper will absorb most of it.


I want to run this by you guys because I seem to be playing badly this iteration. It's the scene of Chlorines death, hopefully.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So yeah, it kicks everyone out of Kinare's cave, Kills off Chlorine (who's getting harder and harder to write, even as his boasts get more and more badass, simply bnecause of the sheer ego involved), and should leave it open enough, hopefully. But I'm still not happy with it and will take any advice with due consideration.  :)

If you both intend to hold a swordfight, why not write the post together, switching perspectives as you go?

Meaning tyring to write a swordfight from two perspectives is hard. We need a plan as to where exactly we end up after each post.

Which is why I proposed you could do it together.

I'll have to avoid using Acts this turn. But that's what I was supposed to be doing last turn as well, and look at what happened. >_>
