The Hunt for the Holy Grail OOC

[samduke]

Okay folks this is not your average game it is closer to a 1 shot than anything, your goal if you can call it that is to attempt to turn the leader of the church... But killing all the good guys will also work.

Nice, you were the ghost, correct?

[Psycho Ban]

Yep, the one with with the onomatopoetic name.

[Breitheamh]

Hey y'all! Sounds like a good time all around! I'll speak in Navy? Feels appropriate I think. Gonna need to finish up a couple things on my character sheet, but shouldn't take long.

Black Knight Character Sheet

[samduke]

ok go ahead and get things finalized, we have a couple more that need to arrive yet

[Lioslaith]

All martial-ish type characters. Nice

[Dusk Raven]

Lady Merideath Darkblossom will take a lovely shade of Indigo for her speech!

Anyway, I'll get equipment finished up once I'm back from work - though... the fact that this is more of a oneshot slipped my mind, so I'm probably overthinking things. I'll get the essentials, get a couple other things I think would be cool, and call it good, assuming that the rest of her wealth is elsewhere, tied up in various noble furnishings or spell components.

Speaking of overthinking, I definitely got more spells than I needed. I'll work on my prepared list, too.

[Lioslaith]

Oh nice. There’s a caster.

Should/could we start finding or sorting out personalities for our characters here in OoC?

[Breitheamh]

Personality wise, I guess this dude I made just has very little sense of self-preservation. Someone told him go that way and we're gonna do something fun, and he figures it either makes everything a little better or he gets finally actually killed. W either way far as he's concerned.

So is he not actually undead?

I figure Tyrion is full of hate and discontent.

[Breitheamh]

He's Curst. He's undead, just not exactly by choice. And he's a little insane. Literally, mechanically insane, has a 5% chance of doing nothing every round of combat. Going into this, someone probably told him it would make him feel better, and his self-preservation is so terrible he'll just go along with it. Doesn't really care about anything ideologically, just a barely autonomous weapon that gets along better with the dead than the living.

[Lioslaith]

Tyrion was a knight for the church and he was sent away on a holy quest. When he returned he found that his family had been slaughtered and those very same assassins killed him in his grief. Or so they thought.

The mission the church sent him on was non-survivable. So the church never expected him to come back and frankly neither did he until the offer of becoming a death knight was made to him.

[Breitheamh]

Maybe my backstory is I was one of the guards at the Swamp Castle who got killed by Lancelot, and the king is too cheap to hire new guards considering he'd have to offer hazard pay because the union is getting on his case about his people dying so much. So instead he found a bargain bin magic spell that's supposed to resurrect all your dead at once, and of course it actually just turned them into Curst undead.

So now if he ever sees Lancelot he's just so full of rage, but mostly just wants to go back to the days of sitting around chewing apples and waiting around for nothing.

Or he's still trying to figure out who's supposed to leave and who's supposed to stay in the room. So he's trying to track down someone who's supposed to be really smart so they can tell him what he's supposed to do.

[Psycho Ban]

Garg is a fighter, and will continue to fight until he re-dies, and then will regenerate his ghostly form to fight more. He is sane, and will work in a team, and will attempt to convert anyone to worship Orcus if the time seems right. He also loves his hammer, Thresher.

[Rilem]

Hey, other ghost here, Sir Anger, who shall speak in Ghostly (but hopefully not too ghostly) gray

[Lioslaith]

What do the ghosts look like? Translucent or ?

[samduke]

Looks like everyone is here, figure out who among you got the gang together to go take down the temple, and its leader, whom you know not

[Lioslaith]

Tyrion would have had reason to go after the church.

[Dusk Raven]

Merideath has a very high opinion of herself and her abilities, and has the diplomatic skills to back up her self-proclaimed Lady title. Probably best if she wasn't the one who organized this, or she'll be acting like it the whole way, and the other undead PCs will have to put up with it or they won't get infinite negative energy healing. XP

Still, she would have an appreciation for the long play of turning certain members of the church. She'd definitely care more about that than any personal vendetta of hers. Taking out a potential threat is just a side benefit, of course.

[samduke]

Ok ill give it a day or so for you to finish up stuff make planes ect, I will plan to post ic Wed or thur

[Lioslaith]

It really just seems like we need a reason for having united. Other than that I don’t see it coming into play much. Tyrion can be that reason, calling everyone together with an idea to turn the high priest or whatever he is called. Beyond that he’d look to everyone else the help formulate a plan.

[samduke]

okay I had free time to get the IC up earlier than I thought but go ahead and finalize / plan -

feel free to post IC when you want

[Lioslaith]

So are we outside the church/fortress now?

[samduke]

So are we outside the church/fortress now?

if you refence the map the party would be south of M1 by at least 120ft but could be more if you want

[Lioslaith]

Sounds good. Do we get a surprise round on them since they don’t expect us to be there?

[samduke]

Possible depends on a few factors, they don't know your coming but they might find out your there

[Lioslaith]

Unless we have some sort of infiltrator type id suggest we ambush them when they step out of the front gate.

[Psycho Ban]

Sir Anger and Garg could walk through the walls, and then manifest?
