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.

[Roy tilts his head slowly, because she's just said something completely outside his realm of belief.]

I'm sorry yours didn't come with you. I guess you prefer sorcery over swordplay though.

[fearlessherosheart]

[I'm (not) sorry my narrative works on different rules. ]

Oh, they are hardly comparable at all; I could not choose between them.

[greatcleavage]

Oh, prestige-classed into full casting advancement and a good BAB?

[fearlessherosheart]

[and she understood none of that]

Ah, and I thought I merely kept up my sword practice whilst I deepened my study of sorcery!

[greatcleavage]

That's... what I just said. But it looks like everyone's at just one level of spellcasting -- whether that's up one or down several.

[fearlessherosheart]

Are they? I simply assumed it was because this 'rukh' was a different energy source than amorphia. But if even Eastern witches are having some trouble...

[greatcleavage]

It isn't as if arcane magic doesn't come from the same arbitrary energy source in any case, so that shouldn't make a difference. But I haven't seen any witches -- are they even divine spellcasters?

[fearlessherosheart]

[shrugs] I know very little of witchcraft, save that it is not sorcery, and it is far less interesting.

[read: harder to blow things up with]

[greatcleavage]

...Yes, definitely divine magic then.

[Sorry, clerics, you have a certain stigma.]

[fearlessherosheart]

Ah, well, it is not of interest to me.

[greatcleavage]

Two roles is enough without having to worry about a third. Well, it's comforting to know someone else around here at least values melee combat.

[Even if she did border on Large size...]

[fearlessherosheart]

Well, naturally. Even those nobles who have little interest in war or dueling should learn the basic principles of the blade. And as a Dzurlord child, I needed no encouragement.

[greatcleavage]

Oh, a combative noble heritage?

[This sounds a bit odd, but certainly respectable.]

[fearlessherosheart]

Exactly!

[greatcleavage]

That's interesting. Is that generally traditional of all elves, or are you from a culturally-distinct subrace there?

[It's a perfectly innocent question...]

[fearlessherosheart]

Elf?

Oh, that is what you Easterners call us. I had forgotten.

[It's probably impressive that she remembered at all.]

[greatcleavage]

[Easterners? Well... clearly this woman comes from a tribe of elves that lives far to the west of human lands. Definitely a weird culture thing going on here, but Roy doesn't really mind; she has a clearly-defined gender, which definitely puts her one up on the elves he's familiar with.]

Well, clearly whatever your subrace, you don't suffer a penalty to Charisma.

[fearlessherosheart]

Ah, that is kind of you to say.

You are certainly the most interesting Easterner that I have met. Though passably strange.

[greatcleavage]

No, trust me, given what I've seen of the assembled people here, you're about to see much, much stranger.

[fearlessherosheart]

Ah, well, I have no objection to strange.

[greatcleavage]

You must be an adventurer too, hmm?

[Roy just keeps cheerfully making assumptions.]

[fearlessherosheart]

I am a Lavode, but that does not preclude going on adventures.

[greatcleavage]

Oh, is that your prestige class? It's not one I'm familiar with.

[fearlessherosheart]

It is the organization I belong to. It is prestigious, though. Why, I am only one of two Lavodes in the Empire.

[greatcleavage]

...Does two people really count as an "organization"?
