  1. We'll have to see how I fare on my toughness saves first.
  2. Don't worry Geez, you will be compensated handsomely. I suggest looking up artifacts from Magic: the Gathering and Exalted and pick the things that strike your fancy. That goes for all you guys too. Start looking for stuff that would fit in a very high magitech setting and post your wishlists here. Like I said earlier, look towards stuff like Exalted and Magic: the Gathering for inspiration on what to get. We're going to be doing this like it was a Monty-haul. :D
  3. Okay guys, time to roll for initiative. You guys start out with no equipment or devices so those who rely mainly on those for battle get a HP/VP for the problem. There are various archaic melee and ranged weapons littered around you so you can just let me know what you pick up and I'll tell you what it does. As a consolation for those affected by above, you will soon recieve devices/equipment equal in worth to what you lost for the duration of the adventure and everyone will get some things extra. :D
  4. Your dreams begin with a replay of the day's events, of recent hardships, triumphs and hearthaches. Events days or even weeks ago seem to blend together in harmony and gradually things seems to become more real. Scents become more intense, people, places and things seem to be more focused and sounds are clearer as if you are experiencing those events yet again. Gradually the scene turns into a battefield with armored warriors wielding various weapons of war fighting off against various scaled monsters who tear at them with claws, teeth, tails and various brutal looking weapons. Screams can be heard from those who fall under the monsters' onslaught and the scent of blood, sweat and spittle is thick in the air. You look all around you and what you see is more of the same. Pockets of warriors acting in formation face off against two to three monsters each while the sky overhead is full of arrows, gouts of fire, ice, lightning and raw energy and other more exotice projectiles flying off in every direction. You notice the scent of ozone in the air as one errant beam flies past you missing by not more than a foot. For those of you who are still material, you feel the crunch of gravel beneath your feet and then each of you catches sight of four others. Each of them resembles a person you have fought or perhaps seen on the news back in Freedom City. They are as bewildered as you are and you can see the confusion in their eyes. A single thought courses in your mind: Where am I? Unfortunately, you barely have time to figure things out before a roar snaps you back into reality. One of the larger monsters has taken notice you and your group and it has chosen you for its next target. It slowly advances towards your position and you can see its resemblance to a massive constrictor as its forked tongue flicks at the air as if savoring the thought of easy pickings. It then picks up the pace and pretty soon it is only a few feet away from you raising a massive axe high above its head as it towers above you.
  5. Before setting off towards his designated target, The Vestige turns toward the others and speaks. "Happy hunting gentlemen." He begins to take a step but before his foot touches the ground, he appears (in the eyes of those watching) right in front of his bunker. His hand shimmers as time moves quicker and quicker in its vicinity. He swings at the bunker but the amount of energy he's handling causes the strike to miss by quite a large margin.
  6. Sorry for getting off-topic then. :oops:
  7. I didn't mean it in that way. I mean that it would help in making fights a bit longer and not a one-shot snoozefest like what happened to my previous char. On another note, I'm just writing the updated Magic Array for The Vestige to reflect the 2 additional ranks added to it.
  8. I'm only really a monster vs large groups though. Rapid attack won't have much effect in a 1 on 1 duel. Plus it's the only AoE I have. The regen is actually useful for me since I forsee The Vestige usually being outnumbered by the heroes and it helps him to last longer for a better fight. note: Most of the heroes here are a PL or two above me so I need something to at least even the odds.
  9. "Parlor tricks? It seems your kind has only ever amounted to that, Lord or should I say Lady of the Elusive Dream. I can never seem to tell the difference between those of your kind." Quickly moving forward, The Vestige raises his massive sword for a killing strike but the Dalkaresh he strikes is merely and illusion. "Show yourselves now and I can guarantee you a swifter punishment than that which is the custom!"
  10. Will save vs. Bluff then Knowledge (Arcane Lore) check (1d20+9=19, 1d20+12=21)
  11. Does Dark Star at least enter into something like a trance-like state like elves?
  12. Initiative check (1d20+33=47) The cackling wisps of lightning being described in my IC post was The Vestige casting Incantation of Lightning
  13. Thread is up. viewtopic.php?f=43&t=2351
  14. Okay guys, let the adventure begin! First off, please describe how you guys prepare yourselves for sleep and some preliminary dreams.
  15. August 12, 2009 Sleep descends on Freedom City as most of its inhabitants prepare themselves to set off on a journey to the land of dreams. Not all though will have the everyday dreams of those whose lives are encompassed on all sides by the mundane. There are five of them who will encounter something much much more exciting.
  16. Would you guys allow me to buff up before our attack?
  17. I'll be posting something up later tonight.
  18. Actually, I'm the fastest once I get my boost up. I still need to update the changes to my increased array but I'm seeing something along the lines of having Super-speed 7 up by the time our attack starts. Other than that, sounds good.
  19. Before they would make the attack, The Vestige briefs them on their communications capability. "I am using a spell that would allow each of us to communicate mentally with one another as long as sender and recipient are withing one mile of each other and of me. Hopefully this would be enough range for our purposes and that there will be a lot less unnecessary chatter." He then faces Captain Knievel. "That means you Knievel. If I hear more inane speech coming out of your orifice, I will personally remove it and make it look that there never was anything there. I feel as if a little bit more of my intellect degrades when I listen to your incessant chatter." "By the way, feel free to attack that outpost. I will take the one furthest out from our location." He then begins chanting in an ancient tongue as stray wisps of lightning dance around his flesh.
  20. A portal opens in mid-air. It floats there seemingly with no respect to physicss or geometry, being both perpendicular and parallel to the floor at the same time. With the others getting a glimpse of what lays beyond, The Vestige steps out of the portal and joins the others. "I have made the appropriate arrangements for that, demon." Turning towards Malice, The Vestige asks him a question. "I take it that you have planned everything through? Did you take into account any and all possibilities?"
  21. I'll just add here how I will spend my 22 pp: +22 pp (20 +2 pp unspent this month) -2 pp to increase Knowledge (Arcane Lore) to 12 r and Notice to 8 r -4 pp to increase Magic Array from 13 to 15 -2 pp to gain +2 recovery bonus -8 pp to gain Device 2 (Hard to Lose) "Time-walker Pauldrons" -3 pp to gain Detect Magic (Acute) -3 pp to gain 3 additional AP's for Magic Array

    Nice knowing you then. :P
  23. I'll be going for this: Communication 4 (Mental, 1 mile, Extras: Affects Others, Area) and just adding some perhaps Subtle 2 and Rapid 2 (x100?). How's that sound to you guys? I think I can go comm. hub ala Martian Manhunter with this with faster response time.
