It has a face, thus it's clearly a Ganmen.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Is it a brightly-colored metal?

I have heard the name Gundam but I have no idea what it is (And I'm not really interested in what it is either). It's just a large 'remote'-controlled walking machine.

Is it a brightly-colored metal?
Yes, brownish white.

I actually meant Ganmen like Irony but I couldn't remember if it was that or Gunmen and I didn't want to mess it up, so I went for a close analogue. >.>

Its both names I think. Minor translation error or some such.

Hmm, well he wasn't hungry anymore. Something in the back of Jargon's brain seemed to crave the feeling of tearing into flesh, chewing and swallowing, but his belly was full. Normally a nap would be in order, but the young dragon was curious at the strange green being that made him not-hungry.

Attempt to sneak after the mage, and investigate this strange 'magic'.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ooc: As to the Christmas stuff... uhh. I'm not really sure what you mean, but I'll give it a try. So three objects of interest:

#1 Goblet of Everflowing, A simple gold goblet with a magic ability to be filled with any liquid, from blood to wine. Of special note is the magic potions it can be filled with that will entice a drinker to like the owner of the sentient goblet better. However, the content is not always known to the owner, and the goblet has a twisted side to it's personality that sometimes causes chaos with odd brews and even poisons.

#2 Band of Human Shell, An ancient dragon artifact. A ring of gold made to fit a single dragon claw that will polymorph the wearer into a human for about 24 hours. Extended use can cause the dragon to loose control over it's mind, and become at odds with a 'human self'.

#3 Star of Aphiel, This massive emerald is the focus of a faerie princess. The poor creature cannot fly more than 100 feet from the gemstone, so with the emerald you technically get the fairy. A treasure that any dragon would be proud to have in their hoard(especially evil ones who like slaves).

Hope that's the sort of idea you were going with? Not sure how to choose between what my dragon would want and what I would want... I've got some nice storyhook items here, any of the three would make for fun rp I think. If I'm totally off, let me know and I'll think up something else.

What. How the hell can you not understand? It's... so simple that anything simpler would cause my mind to bleed. I like my mind. I don't want it bleeded. nooooooo

Just so you know, with this you are giving me the ability to screw you over on universal scales.

For your information (I have a feeling I might have got that line wrong), I let Dwarmin get away with a similar ring with none of the downsides or limitations. So if you want you can chop it down into it's most basic function: Turning you into a human as long as it's worn with no side effects.

This one is slightly edgy. It's an object that gives you another creature. I'm against giving the players creatures without them having to work for it, not tasteful in my mind.

Only #3 I have any problems with. #3 has a high chance of me not including in a dice roll between the choices because I... don't really like it.

You honestly don't need to worry much about me. I'm only really cruel when it'd be hilarious or when I'm annoyed at someone. I don't see how I could make your turn halarious and I'm not annoyed at you.

Hmm, ok then, here's a couple changes.

As to the not understanding part, it wasn't the actual gifts that were giving me trouble, it was the 'choose stuff for your dragon, or if you are cheap choose for yourself' comment... Been trying to think of stuff my dragon would want and use, with interesting story bits that could come along with them. Not even sure how I would choose things for myself and didn't really appreciate being called cheap when I'm just starting. *shrug* But no biggie.

Going to drop #2 and #3, for replacements. Figured if the mage near me is working on polymorph drake... chances are(bad rolls aside) mom or someone around Jargon can teach him how to turn himself into a human. Or at least to look like one. I didn't know Dwarmin's character already had the ring idea. I haven't really read through all the posts, I may go back and check things out in a day or two, but for now just focusing on my own plot line. And besides, reading all that would just tempt me to meta anyway.

So new items:
#2 Mirror of Distant Communication, Creates a 2 way 'video phone call' to other dragons(they see a hovering picture and appear in the mirror for the user to see). The only issue being it has a chance of 'dialing' a random dragon, and more experienced dragon mages can trace the mirror to it's source.

#3 Kraken Tendril, A piece of the legendary monster of the sea, this item allows the user to summon vast amounts of sea water, and to control it mentally(direct it, hold it in place, nothing too fancy). While seperate from the great beast, it seems to very much still be alive, and will wriggle and squirm trying to get back to the main body.

Hopefully these work out better. Though I was kinda looking forward to having a fairy to do my bidding. Guess I'll have to pray to the RNG gods and find some myself when the time comes.

Oh, I wasn't saying that you're cheap, I was saying IF you are cheap.

Hmmm... Making a 'video' in this age is a bit... strange in this world. The concept just plain strikes me as strange especially since, where does the video come from? Like, say a dragon is underground: What is giving off this video? And what is it giving it off with?

Now, to the technical limitations of this: You did not mention any limits on calling, meaning you could just plain antagonize someone by calling. This makes me uncertain.
You can call any dragon, no limitations listed. Even ones that do not exist yet or you've only heard about in name. I'd be more content if it has the limitation of only being able to call dragons who's name you know and who you've met before.

Other than that, I don't see any more complaints.

A limit on casting per turn(s) and the amount you can summon would be ideal. Without a limit, you could technically just spam water and drown anything and everything.

I was thinking that I needed to know the dragon, or it would just randomly call and then it's GM choice. And the whole video thing just meant visuals. You see the dragon you are talking to in the mirror, and they see a floating magic-y image of you. Maybe fluff it out as something like the Amber cards, for those who know that series. You have to concentrate on the dragon you want to call, and have seen them before, as well as their name, then they have to mentally 'accept' the call for it to work.

I suppose that's reasonable, maybe something like it needs a turn to recharge at least, and it only will summon one adult dragon's volume worth of water(still lots of water, but not Noah amounts).

:V WILD NECROMANCER HUNT. You're a good writer, Tarran. I liked the last turn a lot.

Nuvian bumbled around the graves looking for any sign of the necromancer. A dropped tome, a torn shred of robe... anything! Blast, she never thinks these things through. Being an evil servant is hard work!

'Greetings, goddess. I had questions for you - for any god, really - but I realize now I should not bother a being of your stature with such nonsense. However, I cannot help but to notice the unfortunate state of your worship in these lands. This was the only shrine I could find - and here it is, tucked in the mountainside, hidden from view. Does this state of affairs not worry you?'
