Drhoz Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Mob-boss Mahoney rigged a boarding school to explode if he was ever removed from his safe-house. The Spectre snuck in and pistol-whipped him into unconciousness before he could mention this important fact. The resultant Chunky Schoolgirl Incident has made public-relations a bit frosty, and has the Spectre feeling somewhat guilty about it all. Vitus D'rhazz ul Kashrak ur R'raschd takes a small oppurtunity to turn the screws whilst he has the chance. "I note that for all the long, long year that I have been stuck here, you have asked, demanded, BEGGED that I hamstring my own abilities, use only my feeblest magics on unarmed civilians, refrain from using my knowledge to remake this world into something better... and in the end, it's YOUR actions that blow up 60 schoolgirls. I find a certain comedy in this." And as if we weren't busy enough with the up-coming courtcases, and kidnap attempts, and so on, yet more superbeings are turning up in town. "What is this, is Nebraska becoming the home-away-from-home for itinerant gods?" One of the latest batch is the Crusader, the Jerusalem Knight. He has a chariot. A golden chariot. A flying golden chariot. The horsies are flesh and blood tho. "You can lead a horse to water - and make them fly 30 feet up, apparently." The Crusader is in town working the will of the One True God . He seemed a little dissappointed by the locals (read as : just shy of frothing at the mouth) when he discovered the Skeleton Crew headquarters filled to the brim with various sorts of iniquity. Vitus, who has had a lot of experience with the divine and their agents, probably didn't help with his opening remark on the doorstep. "So, which pantheon do you work for?" and followed this up with "Oh, A Monotheist! How cute!" and further "You're claiming that there's one god, responsible for everything. Altho that would explain why this dimension is so pathetic, it's chronically under-staffed." "Of course there's more than one god! I know of four that live in this city! Hell, I rent my apartment from one! Actually, make that three, I suspect one got eaten." The Crusader's inquiries into our own religious background didn't reassure him either. Crusader : "And in which church were you raised, Brother?" The Spectre : "Southern Baptist" Crusader, relaxing : "A fine denomination" The Spectre : "Then I switched to Shinto." The Storm Lord : "Shinto? Buddhism, here." Crusader, shaking a bit by this point, and turning to the 7-plus foot tall hyena : "And you?!" Vitus happily rattling off his religious history : "Well, started off with Alla-Tandassi-Anbar, the God of Throwing Copper, but that was mostly family obligation, you understand. Then I sponsored the revival of Usimagarus, as the Alchemical Prophet. Lately it's been this new god. Dunno its name yet, but it seems like an interesting one and I'm sure I'll learn more about him as he builds up a local fanbase. :D" We do, of course, ask him about his faith (even tho he started it), just to get a few facts straight and to try and to identify which OneTrueGod he's actually talking about. Crusader : "THE God! He sent his only beloved son to Earth to redeem the sins of Man!" The Spectre : "well, that narrows it down to three." Also questions about the post-mortem geography. Given that one member of the party already has a private afterlife in store, and Vitus has walked barefoot thru a couple, this didn't go down as planned either. Vitus : "Afterlife? Been there. Didn't like it. Came back" Oddly enough, the Crusader didn't even stay for the nice cup of tea I ordered my students to brew up for our guest. He did make one last attempt to save this benighted nest of apostates and sinners, by leaving us some literature, by some bloke named Gideon, apparently. I don't think it's going to work. Vitus : "Already read it. Gratifying amount of sex and bloodshed in the first half, but got a little repetitive after that" I won't even mention what happened when he called our member Felicity - who hasn't even gone on a date with her boyfriend yet - a harlot, but I do still think we'll be seeing some more of this gentleman...

Susano Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Session 4/5 of "Daybreak Rising" OOC comment on a character's attack spells: "You don't have an AOE, you are an AOE." GM: "Who has Lightsleep?" Michael: "My other character." Ross makes his character's Stealth Roll by 9. Steve: "Veskar has left the building." Ross on the Skaven: "We prefer 'Rodent American'." Grady: "We return and give a report, and don't mention all the things we did not do." The GM on why the all-male Ork race has a goddess in their pantheon: "It's religion, don't think about it too hard."

AliceTheOwl Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From our Fantasy Hero game (back from a hiatus due to honeymoon): About the bard, Rastal remarks, "He's not a vampire this week." -------- The players are discussing their characters' angst, and the tragedies they've survived that loved ones haven't. Rastal's player remarks, "Let's all have a pity party, then." Then he ponders, and realizes that Liv, an NPC who his character is romantically attached to, is exempt. Flora's player says, "Liv has her own issues. She's dating Rastal." -------- Daris is enraged when his dragon-girlfriend is kidnapped, and hunts down those responsible, attacking them singlehandedly. When the others arrive, he's badly wounded, and declaring to one of the kidnappers, "What have you done with my fiancée?" Flora asks, "Since when are you engaged?" --------- Rastal, in a letter to the cruel family of an insane man he's trying to help: "I'm one of the heroes, but I'm a bad hero. If you don't do this, I'll kill you." ---------- After rescuing the dragon, Arachne, Flora talks to Arachne about her relationship with Daris. Arachne seems unsure of the status, and unsure, even, of what she wants. Flora remarks that men are good for ONE thing. "Oh," Arachne says, "You don't even need them for THAT. I mean, it's never been a problem for me, what with my shape-shifting abilities. Girls are quite good . . ." Flora, reddening, says, "I think I need to go feed Hope* now." *Hope is Flora's infant daughter. For various reasons, the party's adventures are safer for Flora's children than the adults in the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin... Her real name is Cyllenna, but for a while, when a party member came close to figuring her out, she was posing as someone else, and so she needed to come up with a new name. As her domain is Spider Mountain, she decided to go with an oblique reference to that. And she's not really a dragon-person; dragons can just shapeshift to appear human in Via. But the Creator granted her a boon to feel human emotion, so she's as close as dragons get to being human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
