It isn't a specific spell I used. just a lot of fluff I used to "roleplay" the burst Utility feature tying into a Deadly roll.

Yes, that's actually what makes them so good! An extra xp here and there WILL add up in no time.

...assuming it doesn't kill you first lo!

I delayed the post by a day as it looked like folks were still getting their actions down. And with such an aggressive embrace of those Deadly Rolls it wrapped up the fight in a single round!

I'm looking forward to seeing what people pick, especially as this week is an Exclusive reward week, each option can only be chosen once. It was very exciting to read everyone's posts this week! The utility mages in the group really helped avoid quite a bit of extra bloodshed! (Which was counterbalanced by our attack specialists making sure to spill some extra!)

awe crap, was hoping to get my response out today, Well I hope it was fun for yall!

I made sure that the adventure lead will get selected so you guys just feel free to enjoy choosing one of the exclusive rewards.

I'm likely to be a bit scarce next month, so probably not many posts from me for a few weeks. Just giving a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up and no worries  Vallen, hopefully it's fun summer activities that are going to occupy you.

I'll be posting some new adventure hooks this morning, though I'm moving a little slow. One last cold decided to ambush me before Spring was fully sprung!

I will be posting after work today.

No worries, I'm going to give it a few more hours before I update to give people time to post.

And while I may only throw out one plot hook at a time, that doesn't mean players only have that option! As more locations of interest are discovered they can always be revisited to uncover more about them. Also, more adventure threads can potentially be uncovered by exploring some of the mysteries that were found like the captains log of the Gutted Ship, or the ghost statues, or the seed from living fortress vault. These will generally require a Project to unlock them though.

Though I do ask that least two people go on an adventure just to keep the work manageable for me :P Solo adventures will generally result in me tossing out writing prompts so the lions share of the work falls on the player.

I'll try to get a post out after my meeting. Going to go ahead and drop another group hug project. Especially in light of the fact that we are a known entity to the world now. I'm glad I've been working on our defenses lol.

Apologies for the brevity of posts, hoping I'm through the other side now

No sweat Malleus, not every post has to be an epic, sometimes we're more inspired than others, myself included! Making sure the game keeps feeling like fun and not starting to feel like work is more important than word count!

Going to update things in the next couple of hours!

Whip it!! Whip it good!! (apologies to Devo). :)

It's been whipped!

And it's also that time of week again!

So let the magical ritual chaos commence! Did I say chaos? I meant orderly, dull, ritual which will proceed entirely as planned!

If I have the XP and want to raise a stat, do I need to add this into my post?

We've been making a post in the Elucidate thread whenever you expend xp/materials on a project. You can include some flavor text if you'd like, but also need to include what your project is (like raising a stat, learning a spell, or whatever else you're doing) and if you're expending xp, materials, or a mix of both so that Talon knows.

Talon then will post a reaction post that acknowledges your project happened.

Okay, I already increased my finesse a few weeks ago  but didn't post anything for it, was just wondering cause I have the XP to increase another stat.

Each project you do requires a new post int he Elucidate, and for Talon to acknowledge it.

When someone has enough experience to raise a stat, create a new spell, do a project, etc, they can just let me know via PM. I'm not going to require an in-character post every time since not every increase is as exciting as another, though players are always welcome to do those to roleplay scenes to add extra flavor if they're feeling inspired. (And for projects I'd recommend the in-character post so other players are more aware of it as often those projects impact the game at large, like with the repairs of the healing quarters.)

Today is a slow start up sort of day, this cold is really making its rounds through the house! Will work on updating that ritual sometime today!

In reply to Talon (msg # 296):

Insofar as I, personally am concerned, take some time to recover from the illness that seems to be ravaging your household if that would be beneficial. :)

Lol you just want a couple of weeks to go by so that you can get that juicy weekly healing? :p

Yeesh! I'm getting some very nice rolls if I were rolling Deadly rolls. Unfortunately, they aren't nearly so nice as Damage rolls.

Ouch, with a 6 + 5 you've already taken 11 damage. I really should've sent Vallen over there for backup. lol

In reply to Vallen (msg # 300):

LoL. Yeah, Arzin is gonna have to quit scoffing at the mages for being Bookworms (or a Bookwyrm, in Aurland's case) -- this magicky-stuff is kickin' his ass!

Yeah, it's hard channeling the raw powers of magic through your body. I would most definitely not try holding onto that lens any further. This is a survey mission, not a life-critical task.
