Fate oath/alternative (Festival of Epics Reboot) Discussion

Temporarily pulling out. Until I get back I will let Daltar take control of Florina. Assume she has responded to these post and the rest of the events in the Church as seems fitting based off her profile.

Since Elias/Robin Hood are headed to Archer's Peak, is there anyone else there? I think EMIYA was but, if I read/remember correctly he left.

Well, Odysseus is around,as are (I assume) Nero and Yuna. Guan Yu and Orit are thereabouts as well, fighting Aaron (Orit's going to get killed).

Kaleb and Jack are heading to Archer's Peak as well (since it's directly linked to their zombie infested island)... or have been for a while now.

So, expect to see them fairly soon~?

For those wondering, what I said still stands.

Oh boy, so Augutus/Valeria are meeting Odysseus (unless I misinterpreted the Augustus post) and Robin/Elias are about to find Mr.Bounty-on-their-head. I'm gonna be starting a fight soon then eheheh.

Sorry guys, I've been pretty busy. I'll try and post this weekend.

Edited my post since I didn't read the discussion on time to realize there are people on Archer's peak.

Okay, major apology time. Past couple of days, I have been playing what is probably an extremely unhealthy amount of Borderlands 2, so I haven't been posting. Anyone who's waiting on me to respond, please say so here in the discussion thread, and I will respond with haste.

KSPAM, if you feel that guilty about that I should probably commit seppuku right now.

Can't count how long I have made people wait for me.

These three peeps over here need a response from Bedy.

Something happened personally so I haven't been able to post. Some GM, huh?~

If you can see Jack, Jack can see you. If you can't see Jack, you may be only seconds away from being dead.

I knew that was coming sooner or later.

Edit: To clarify though, Jack(ette) grabbed his hand, not the knife itself? since that's how I read "quickly grabbed his knife twirling hand and wrenched it up to his throat."

(S)he has maybe one finger on the knife, but her primary grip is on his hand, yes.

Augustine: Green Dragon Crescent Blade isn't a lance. It's a guan dao (actually, the first one), which is basically more akin to a naginata or a glaive than to a lance.
/Nitpickiness

Oh I know. I suppose polearm would have been a better term.

BTW, I'm working on my post.

Hmmm given that Robin has Clairvoyance level A and that implies the ability of precognition, I'm thinking of having her move the moment Jack appears to threaten Ellias... so the moment she spins the knife into his throat she'll have an arrow set in the bow and leveled at her eye. Is that alright KSPAM?

Hmmmm... I'm not gonna raise a fuss about it, so go ahead. But just for reference, Murderer of the Misty Night does give guaranteed first strike bonuses at night, so I dunno. Whatever. Like I said, in a situation like this, I don't really care.

The wording is technically "preemptive strike". I've been thinking of it like a turn-based RPG, wherein Team Kaleb, or at least Jack, gets "preemptive strike" (extra turn in the first round) unconditionally at nighttime. Kaleb wasted his turn talking, and Jack used her turn to grapple Elias, so now we revert to normal turn order, with Robin going first as a result of her Clairvoyance.

... English, please. For those of us who don't play many turn-based RP Gs (I personally find them retardedly aggravating to play, but that's just my opinion).

• Normal Turn Order: Robin, Jack, Elias, Kaleb, Robin, Kaleb... ad infinitum.
• Turn Order when achieving preemptive strike: Jack, Kaleb (end of preemptive round), Robin, Jack, Elias, Kaleb, Robin, Jack, etc.

Essentially, Jack and Kaleb get a bonus set of turns at the beginning. That's all. It's a basic RPG mechanic.

Alternatively, it's a ATB-based system wherein Jack and Kaleb start with their gauges filled, but Jack and Robin's are much faster than Kaleb and Elias'. :3

Hmmm in that case I won't do it, but I shall substitute with doing something else.

Letting Death Chariot decide the specifics of Vincent's new hideout, since his character is going to be living there for the foreseeable future, after all. It's not that I'm lazy and can't think up details. Nope.
