House-Party folks, get acquainted however much you want. Flag me when you're ready to proceed, and we'll get things rocking.
Swamped at work will post soonish
Everyone about ready? Satisfied with intros? Seems to have slowed down some.
*shrugs*
Ugh, I'm on call at the moment, and have been since 9PM for a client. I completely forgot about the next bit of interplay between Terri and Tayce. I'll have something up in a bit.
I'm ready. Had a long day.
Also ready whenever you are.
Some of us sleep at night. ;) But ready, yes, when everyone else is.
Sleep? What's that?
I realize it was in jest, but I'm just wanting to make sure, is all. No rush, really.
Ha, that seems like a good way to end intros for both groups. Moving forward in a bit.
Let's proceed to tomorrow, then, if everyone is done.
No earth-shattering news, so kick us off.
I'll move this forward this evening.
Sorry, never got around to responding to the last bit. I'll have something up in a bit.
Gonna let a couple more respond before we proceed.
Anyone doing anything else? Where to next?
I guess the waterfront? *shrugs*
Given what we know, I'm not sure the waterfront's the best choice. Or we might need to split up - some of us investigating the waterfront and wreck, others visiting candy stores and trying to track down those coins.
When we played IRL, we tried to be the medieval CDC, and fun as that was, I don't think it would translate over to PbP very well. Suffice to say, the coins are spreading and have already touched many hands, if they are indeed the cause.
Yeah we kinda have to be more CSI than CDC. Containment's gonna be damn near impossible the the more we know about what we're dealing with, the better.
I can't say much for fear of giving something away. That said, containment may be impossible, but I think we can still limit the spread of the disease by warning people who might have been in contact with it and the people that would most likely be able to block the most likely vectors. Namely the bank and the merchants.
Cassandra, that came off as a little more smart-assed than I intended, sorry. Shall I just herd you all to Zellara's and go from there?
Ba-a-a-a-a-d DM :3
I didn't take it poorly at all. Sure. That's fine. :)
Has anyone played The Evil Within?
Seeing some serious parallels between Ruvik and Daud.
I have not played it, Wednesday.
All, if you have any questions for Zellara, feel free to ask (she's pretty much given you all she knows).
If not, let me know what you're doing for the rest of the day, if anything.
There's a lot of stuff but I think it's his look plus being voiced by Jackie Earle Haley.
(Warning: slight spoilers in video)
Will update in the morning if I don't get any more responses.
Heh, sorry. I have bad habit of checking my PbPs right when I wake up but then dozing off before I post something.
You guys need to discuss things a little more, or heading to Vencarlo's?
Alrighty, so what's the plan? The crystallizing idea I believe is this:
Cassandra runs on the rooftops...because she likes doing so (and to give the others fair warning if something's going on).
Tolenn rides a mount up directly before the main group, hoping to cause a scene and absorb a portion of the guard contingent.
Everyone else disguises and just walks casually by, fingers crossed.
That sound right? If so, everyone who's being sneaky give me a disguise check. Conversely, the person with the highest check can roll 4 separate times. Trinia will handle her own disguise.
Sounds like a plan.
Oh and since his description isn't in his profile I figured I'd put it here.
Pale, gaunt and muscular his skin is a patchwork maze of scars, most are bites from beasts ranging from wolf sized to much larger, to the telltale pricks and slashes from weapons. An oddity among the collection is the neatly checkered pattern that runs from the tips of the fingers on his left arm all the way up to and around the shoulder, stopping neatly at where the chest is met. Precision neatly.
His hair is a messy collection of white, gray, and black and his eyes are blood red.
Also he doesn't know he's an Aasimar or for how long he's actually been alive, he's really bad at keeping track of long periods of time.
Amira, when you have a moment can you update your tagline to match Terri & Cassandra's? You can spoiler it like Wednesday & Tolenn, if you'd like. Thanks!
Does Tolenn see the inquisitive guards approaching?
-Posted with Wayfinder
I apologize, yes, you do. And they look more than inquisitive. They look aggressive.
For those who haven't, please put your personally chosen harrow cards into your tagline. Thanks!
Did I miss where a drop point outside the city was mentioned?
You didn't. The only request was to get her out of the city. How you did it and how far you escort her is completely up to you.
Harse is a full day and a half north on the road, though.
By the time we get back at least a third of the city will be sick.
Quite possible. Perhaps even likely. It seems very virulent.
Without getting too much into the 'Oooohhhh, naked gurlz' aspect of it, what's your logistics plan for purchasing new clothing and burning existing? The clothes themselves aren't free, and presumably yucky hands will be touching the new before discarding the old. This is presuming, of course, that you aren't walking to the clothes' store nude to make your purchases.
Actually, I think I'll just go ahead and say that there is no statistical change for your chances of getting the disease if you do such a thing, in order to streamline things. Your skin is making contact with these people, in addition to your clothes, and there is DNA everywhere at this point, not just clothing.
That was under the assumption I believe of us traveling with Trinia, now? *shrugs*
Ok, just running with what would be S.O.P. in a medieval setting for people who think they may have been infected.
I'm not sure i follow you...
Edit: that was meant for Wednesday.
Sorry, brain skipped whole parts of that sentence.
I believe the whole switching and burning clothes plan was under the impression we would go with Trinia to Harse and get new clothes there.
Ok, just running with what would be S.O.P. in a medieval setting for people who think they may have been infected.
I know, and it's sound reasoning. I'm just going to hand-wave it since it doesn't add much to the story and the mechanics will likely drag things down. If you guys still want to do so, we'll just say it happens 'off camera' and leave it at that. Deal?
Works for me.
Okies.
You guys headed back in?
*shrugs*
I guess so.
