The Nightmare Years - Discussion

Double posting to say the edit's been made!

Sweet, I was just about to finish this post. I can add your stuff in and away we go.

Okay, Larry's processed and up and headed out the door. Could I have, either here or in game, a quick sum up of who's where and doing what to who?

Btw, can Larry, for instance focus his vision to detect weak points in an opponents defenses?

Parable's already got most of that in his post, and there's only like three posts after that.

The abridged version is:

Outside the cave, Jane is wounded and about to be eaten, Sophie and Cosmo are getting rocketed (that's a word?), Derrel is being all Defiant to the End against Bushuda who is proving a lot stronger then he expected, Jerome is near the cave but can't do anything.

Just about everyone else has been Knighted but are trapped in the cave. Larry and Adam both turned on their powers in the same way someone turns on the shower with the "Hot" lever only and Adam has not figured out how to turn his off just yet.

Kyris, Leartes, Larry and Adam are up and awake. Byron, Ryan, and Xavier haven't done anything yet, which is funny because they touched the stone before Leartes, Larry and Adam did.

What Larry sees depends on how much he is concentrating. Whether its a weakness or not depends on how much he knows about what he's seeing and a variety of environmental effects.

Trapped in the cave? So the entrance was collapsed?

You'll recall the reason you and Flanker had to separate was because you guys were on opposite sides of the blocked cave entrance.

Ragna, I love your post subtitles.

I have memory like sieve.

Anyway going to sleep now. Be back tomorrow.

ALWAYS HAPPY TO PROVIDE COMEDY!

Okay, first use of power. Hope I didn't abuse it.

The rainbows will never get old. Never.

And this is why most adventures do not include an old man sans magical powers in the main party.

EDIT:

Admittedly that'll be remedied soon (if he survives), but still. If I don't post it's because I don't want to rehash "Jerome does nothing".

"Time to fight the mon- Ow! My hip!"

I imagine that'd rapidly become the party's collective Most Annoying Sound.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this one my-" -CRACK- "Oh god my spine!"

-CRACK-

"Oh no, Jerome's in trouble!"

"How can you tell?"

"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!"

"How can you not tell?"

This is going to be a wonderful RP, I can feel it in my (thankfully undamaged) bones.

I like to imagine his main role will be 1) as an impromptu charger and 2) to distract Nightmares by falling to the ground and wriggling about in a feeble manner while complaining about his bad back/arms/legs/[insert organ here].

Clearly, he will be single handedly leading our merry band to victory.

I count 3 Saffronese, 3 Emeraldians, 2 Seralonians, and 2 from Vermillion.

Adam and Xavier's profiles don't state which world they are from, though Xavier's implies he is not from Saffron.

Working on post right now. Trying to make sure Jane and Derrel don't die before the others get free.

Don't forget he can shoot lightning bolts too. Or will, once he ggets powered up.

Close but no cigar, Replica. Better charge some more. Unless Chreiya gets her power into action.

Its hilarious that the first enemy most of us can use their powers against is a pile of rocks, and it seems that we are losing.

@Tricksterson:

True, true. Still, he'll be that old man who's only kept around because it's kind of amusing when he suffers stereotypical problems associated with age. Every event will be met with "Oh, you!" or similar.

Darrel when he's doing something: The Stoic.

Darrel when he's doing nothing: Won't shut up.

Will rocks fall in to fill the hole or has he melted a stable hole through?

Drak: Wow, you're right.

Delaying death is doing something!

The blast forced the smaller rocks out of the way, the others are still stuck in position until something gets them out of there.

Well if you want to get literal about it...
