Additionally, I'm going to do the Kenning thing and get a reply up tomorrow.
I'm inclined to believe that rescuing Sarah might still be possible as long as she's not already in Arcadia, which means I might be obliged to eat the Faerie Peach and see what happens. Unless Sarah isn't actually one of the trees that's already here. :smalleek:
I'm not sure how Hedge Sense would be appropriate here, though if you have any suggestions I'm happy to consider it. Otherwise, you had a nice roll, and I'm happy to let you use it for your Kenning roll. Let me know, as I see the IC post never came up.
Now THAT is rather dark. It certainly wasn't my idea, but if you really like it, I could consider it as an alternative to what I have planned.Quote:

Mentioned Hedge Sense for a tracking roll because I forgot to use it the last time. I could see that going either way but I didn't need it in this case.
Had extra work this weekend so I'm tired. Will try and get something up for this game first this evening.
On Sarah, I'd say stay with what you were planning. That was just where my mind went because its a digging tool. Changeling might be the system for it but that may be too dark for me.
No worries. Hope you get some recovery soon. Do you want to use your dice for your kenning roll instead then?
Yeah, let's do that.Quote:

But let me know if that doesn't sound interesting, and we can go a different route.
I'd say stay with that. As I said, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here so the urge is to post in such a way that Laura night be able to do something about it. I think most of my other characters would be more cautious.
This isn't lack of interest but it might be awkward to put the GM in the position of working round a bad player decision if they're doing something suicidal.
Anyway, it's starting to get cooler here again and I'll get any remaining posts up tomorrow.
Okay. I'll await your reply in game, though I think we are nearing the end of this scene as well.
Okay, going to count up beats here, and will compensate some WP as well. As always, let me know if there is something you think I missed, let me know if you want to spend XP, and take a look at your aspirations and let me know if you want to update and change them.
Laura gets: 1 beat for finishing the scene. One beat towards learning more about the Yellow king from her dream sequence. I'll give her an beat towards saving someone from the hedge for agreeing to help Giant. I'll say resolved the aspiration of making an enemy in the Free Coin for Snigglebutt... even though he isn't directly a member of the Freehold. I'll give Laura a beat for rescuing Giant when he was trapped in the hole, as part of "rescuing someone from the hedge". I'll give her one more additional beat for finding out what happened to Sarah and agreeing to try to save her from The Hedge. This brings her to 1 beat and 1xp.
I'll give her a WP toward Protector for agreeing to help Giant. I'll give you one more WP for rescuing Giant from the hole as part of Protector. This brings her back to 4WP. When she goes to sleep next she will recover an additional point.
Your new Story Aspirations are:
1. Build a team of allies to help Sarah
2. Find out what happened to The Yellow King
3. Interact with and help your Touchstone
Let me know if that sounds okay.
Unless you feel strongly, we will be starting the next scene with Laura's promised date.
Getting to everything now.Quote:

Changing the first aspiration to stopping Snigglebutt from continuing to take people.
I have updated Laura's character box with the change in aspiration. Everything banked. Will get IC post up shortly. I have also updated the OOC thread NPC list. Let me know if there is anyone/thing you want added.
Let's see just how charming the hobgoblin is on this date [roll0]
EDIT: Yikes.
Was drawing a blank on what else Laura can do to prepare here. Especially as it feels like she might be approaching a check point where other business should be sorted out if possible.
I suppose she does need glamour so can be on the look out for an opportunity to feed.
Secondly, she ought to check in with at least one of her touchstones, and Monica is homeless so might have problems in addition to the possibility of being kidnapped by hobgoblins.
Other then that I don't think the King in Yellow is someone who can be researched beyond what Laura already knows about him. Unless you have any suggestions on that point.
I think it would be more than reasonable for her to take time now to harvest some glamour, and try to find out about her Touchstone. Starting with the former. How do you want to go about this?
OK, for glamour, going to look for a live band or a club. Anywhere where there might be people enjoying themselves. Failing that, I'll look for any bar with the biggest crowd and see what I can pick up.
Very good. Let's start with a Composure + Empathy/Socialize/Streetwise for finding a hopping bar where she can find people filled with emotion. Will give you a +2 because this is New Orleans and she knows her way around the city.
Composure 3 + Empathy 1 + Bonus 2

I'm honestly not sure if it is something on my end, but multiple browsers on my laptop essentially refuse to follow the link citing security concerns; which I was not having before. I've attempted to override it on both Chrome and "Edge" but even when I follow the necessary steps, both browsers refuse to open up the character sheet. So if you wouldn't mind hosting the sheet in another means... that would be appreciated.Quote:
I haven't noticed a problem in accessing the link but it sometimes appears as a little blurry for some reason.
I might just move all the info onto mythweavers instead.
That said, it has come to my attention that I've been failing on using a couple of key rules for Changeling that I wanted to bring up, specifically to apologize and clarify that I want to start using them going forward. I won't list the full rules here, but will briefly explain and provide page numbers so that you can check.
The first is Hedge Spinning. Basically, anytime you make any roll or check in the The Hedge (which I suspect will be happening again relatively shortly... and this would include The Tumbledown), you can state that you want to include Hedge spinning into the roll. You take a slight negative modifier depending on where in the Hedge you are, and any additional successes you receive can be used to change the Hedge or add future benefits to your attempted actions. The flip to this, is anytime you make an investigation roll (it also says navigate, but I can't see using this), while in the Hedge, the Hedge gets to make a Hedgespinning roll and can change itself around you. Note, that you have to declare this before your roll, but I will try to prompt you when appropriate. See pg 204 for the full rules and a list of things you can do with this.
The second is related to your Court. As a member of the Court of Barter (pretty sure that is your court but again, can't triple check your character sheet ATM), you gain a point of glamour any time you successfully intercede on someone's behalf during an unfair deal. So this may be something Laura looks to do going forward. Furthermore, she gains bonus dice from her mantle to read someone's situation from their behavior (basically on Empathy rolls). This can be reviewed on 291-2.
Work in progress so I remember to update the rest of it
https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2875276
I can definitely at least access this.
I think that's everything moved over from the Adobe sheet. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
Awesome. Thank you. Will be getting IC posts in today.
Not sure if you have Kith and Kin, but I think it would be fair to give Laura access to the Coin Regalia found on page 39 of that book. I know the game is going a little slowly, but let me know what I can do to help with this as well.
It's on Scribd so I'll have a look at it. I should just buy it as well but maybe after payday.
Any speed issue is mostly various external RL things that no one can help me with. In terms of the game it's either about me trying to post in Geist first or ocasionally it's me being not entirely sure how to proceed on something.
Let me know what you think once you've had a look. I have no idea if any of the powers would even be appealing, but they seem appropriate for a member of the exchange heavy Tumbledown Freehold.
I think you're right
Would you mind updating your post on the first page with your new character sheet? That way it is easier to get to and I don't keep trying to open the blocked sheet.
No problem. Link updated.
