GRAND OPENING: MINGLE POST!

[rukhmods]

Welcome to Magnoshutatt!

The game is officially OPEN! Feel free to make your own posts in the community and get the ball rolling. To commemorate the game's opening, we've set up this intro mingle post to help you guys get settled in. NPCs might even pop in from time to time to guide your characters along or make their school life harder. Even so, we hope you have fun and enjoy!

Please don't forget to add the date when the thread is taking place (e.g. "5th day of the 1st term", "term 1, day 5") in the subject line! December 1 is the 1st day of the 1st term, December 2 is the 2nd... you get the idea.

It doesn't strike me as absurd... but I am an adventurer. Admittedly, we have a lot more dealings with extraplanar creatures and travel than your average NPC off the street.

[Meanwhile the poor NPC is trying super hard to understand what he's even talking about. Hama rubs her temples, trying not to seem agitated.]

All right. If, as you say, we are all on some extra - extraplanar adventure, then how? How would you take someone such a distance without their notice?

[greatcleavage]

[Roy hesitates -- because what he WANTS to say, what he believes, is that his old campaign just got scrapped entirely and he's been imported whole-cloth into a new one. But that's just... too horrible.]

A summoning spell, most likely. Not the sort that usually get used, those have a much shorter duration, but it otherwise seems to fit.

[neijing]

[A spell...] "Magic," then. You have experience with it?

[greatcleavage]

Oh, well, not directly. Formerly not directly. I'm a fighter, but of course our adventuring party had a cleric, wizard, and bard, with their respective divine and arcane magics. I'm familiar with it in the practical sense.

[neijing]

[An adventuring party... it's hard for her to think of "adventuring" as its own activity, and she can't immediately imagine what goal a priest, sorcerer, and musician might have in common.]

Is it similar to the sort they use here?

[greatcleavage]

[Roy hesitates, then admits something that's been quietly bothering him for some time.]

No. This is all a lot like sorcery, but the actual mechanics don't appear to relate.

[neijing]

How do you mean?

[greatcleavage]

Both of them draw off the same energy field and have the same basic spells. Magic missile, fireball, Evard's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion, so on. But even if you assume the 'rukh' they keep talking about here is just flavor test for arcane energy, the spells and progression so far are nothing like basic arcane magic.
