the law of oaths ( character creation and discussion)

Faust can be cold but he's not thats cold. l 😂 Unless i could pee a circle around him and leave him the pee will keep the animals away. 😆

That... sounds like something-- nevermind. I see you guys were busy while I was asleep.. *thumbs up*

I had to post you made me feel bad yes my posts are all for you it's the love oh and i see your just throwing around cheek kisses but I can't get one. I see it's just torture for poor Regelion. T_T

You've done nothing worth my lips.. *sagenod*

Nate. If you bother to read this before trying to post in the RP, then please restrict your post. Shota will stop you if you try to get up and run to the cabin. If you stand up and try to run, she'll attack you.

OOC; we know nothing is in there with Annie. But as characters, we don't. It's meta-gaming to act on that. If Nate has any common sense... any at all... he should at least see that him charging in blindly could hurt more then it would help.

@Reg: Also... "torture" for reg would follow more along the action of *shakes my hips a little in Reg's direction* "Oh my.. I've been naughty, I need to be punished.." < I have not done that. Silly boy.

Appears behind Phoenix and smacks her butt really hard...punishment doubt...

Oh! <3 My Starry, you've become bold. *she winks at Starry before turning around and crossing her arms* Either Faust or Donny should post about finding Nate and Shota before either one of us posts.

And there you go.

*she gasps and stumbles back with an amazed look upon her face*

! Damn! I didn't even notice him post. Who is this man... He is clearly more powerful then the others. I should keep a close eye on him...

*she runs up to Scenario and waves* Ayyyyyyyyye! Scenario-san! Let's hang out, okay? *her eyes narrow* Perfect execution..

Okay, so it's done and done, but I really just want to point something out. This is something that's just bothering me personally.

At this point, at least in my mind, in the RP, it's the dead of night. In the woods, it has to be damn near pitch black, barely-able-to-see-the-back-of-your-hand dark. The fact that everyone is able to clearly see footprints and trails in this situation is a somewhat odd, especially if none of the characters are specifically trackers with training in doing such things.

I get that we need to get everyone together, so I'm not going to really argue if it gets the job done, it's just...I don't know. It bothers me. The only other way I could see this being assuaged is if Shadows like Faust and Donny can use the Darkness element to achieve a kind of darkvision...which actually sounds kind of neat, but yeah...I'm terribly vexed.

Carry on. 😛

Huh.

And here I'd been picturing it as the attack on the town coming during night (with streetlights to see by,) and the escape attempt knocking everyone out until the next morning. I've been posting under the impression it was midday or something.

Edit: Poor Communication Kills.

I like the sound of that a little night vision thing helps the whole searching portion and it would make sense. Since they are darkness users they should actually be accustom to the darkness it's self.

I figured Dominus would be bold enough to attack in broad daylight, myself, and if I remember nate's post, there was only a few hours that passed before he woke up. I figured that'd be enough to put us just past the midnight hour.

Like I said, this has been a long and traumatizing Day 1 for our heroes.

As far as me seeing the body, it is laying on the ground. To my knowledge, it's not pitch black. I've been out in the middle of night. Seeing things is still possible because you have light from the moon and the stars above. That would make seeing things like keys, a weapon, stuff like that difficult. Aside from that, I don't see anything recently that we haven't complained about that would bring up such a point. Unless you're talking about the tree.

No no, the cabin would be visible, since I imagine there would be at least a small clearing that it would be in, so at the very least the ambient starlight would be able to shine through. I'm talking about when Avon was in the thick of the woods and such just before Faust knocked him out. Under the canopy of the trees, it would be really difficult to make out definition, even after your eyes adjust. I know this for a fact because when I was younger my middle school had a outdoor education trip that I took part in, and one of the things we did was walk down a trail in the dark of night. I could see the trail before me, but if I looked out towards where the trees were bunched together in the forest proper, I couldn't really make out anything under their shadow.

Also, if anyone else notices the body of Annie's uncle, I ask that you not interact with it. There are plans for it.

Edit: That is, to say, you can note that your character sees the body, but don't kick it or nudge it or attempt a coup de grace or anything like that.

Alrighty, then, as long as we're all clear on roughly what time it is.

Yeah, sorry for the mix-up.

I wasn't planning on doing anything with the body myself. I figured that he was still alive. The death wasn't dramatic enough for that to just be all that it was to be used for.

Lol.. Coup de grace?

In the form I use it, a D&D term. It basically means finishing the guy off after he's down. The double-tap, if you will.

French for "blow of mercy."

It's basically any attack to finish someone off after they've been wounded or defeated. Annie stabs the guy, but he's still alive. If someone were to go up and "put him out of his misery" that could be described as a coup de grace.

(I think the italics are necessary.)

Edit: Xan is a ninja now.
