Eclipsed Moon Quest Episode 07Mikage Chiba/Eclipse Character Sheet: http://pastebin.com/Vq2twQDNKoyomi Chiba/Sailor Moon Character Sheet: http://pastebin.com/BJwgEpZQAiha Mizuno/Sailor Mercury Character Sheet: http://pastebin.com/Ge9StPF6 Twitter Account: https://twitter.com/Artemis_QMArchive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Eclipsed+moon Interlude: LAMAZE DOESN'T WORK FOR CATSYour breathing is heavy and strained, your panting and bristling. Koyomi falls upon you as the madman lets the white crackling heat still coursing through your small body trail off. It hurts, it hurts so badly. You worry for the girl, so effortlessly throwing herself over you, you can see the tears welling up in her eyes.He's laughing, spouting off something; about his hostages no doubt, but you can't hear him. You can barely hear the distraught girl shouting above you as your eyelids struggle to remain open. He begins drawing off more power from the broken halogen above. This isn't it. It can't be.He whips a hand forward and again the peel of thunder sounds. White arcs explode from his finger tips and lance forward before the sound hits. Ami interposes-no. It isn't Ami. Are you going senile in your delirium of pain? It's her daughter, the new Princess of Mercury. She's thrown herself between you, Koyomi, and that horrid man.He is still human, you can smell it.She shouts something, and you can feel the Senshi power roll off of her as she takes a widened stance and crosses her arms. The three of you are encased in a sphere of translucent and scintillating water, the bolt of lightening breaks across the surface and continues to break and arc around the shell, making a beautiful web in the late afternoon light. When the sound hits a second later, the surface ripples. It's beautiful. It soothes you despite a new wracking of pain in your gut, a wrenching tightness that for a moment draws the last reserves of your strength.1/?
>>304162162/?This thought. This hope, you decide, is a good place to leave off.“I'm sorry, my love” you whisper before the dark catches you.……Something breaks. Your eyes snap open in a yowl. Adrenalin. Alive.Instinct takes over and you curse yourself for not realizing it sooner as your insides twist and strain again.No no no, this wasn't even supposed to, you couldn't let it happen. You couldn't. She'd be more alone than Dianna; the last of you.You are Luna; and as you feel the young princess trade a portion of her vital energies for your pains, you are wracked further. Even after raising Dianna, you were never truly ready to be a mother, perhaps even now.End Interlude
>>304162423/3You are normally Mikage Chiba. 15 Years old. 2nd Year Higschool Student, and formerly the third to hold the title of Sailor Moon, Champion of Love and Justice. At present, however, you are neither. Clad in black robes and your face obscured under a black keffiyeh, you are the cloaked mysterious rescuer of damsels, Eclipse.You're proud of the name. It came to you in a moment of genius. Right now you're relatively sure that your father would be damn proud of you, even if you currently lack roses. However, that isn't important right now.What is important is that your sister, your friend, and your cat are trapped in a magic bubble protecting them from a jerk with a bad haircut and the power to seemingly manipulate electricity and circumvent the free will of a great many number of people at the same time...which is problematic, however, you have a plan.>Try and find the Maintenance room to turn off the power.>Try and find the Maintenance room to turn on the foam. Breaking across the open door frame again before the bastard can let another bolt fly, you find a maintenance door outside the Gymnasium. You remember playing at West District during the Ward Junior High Concerto a few years back, they built the doors to the room with access from inside and outside the gym for emergencies. Opening the door you step inside, the circuit breaker box and the emergency release for the foam sprinkler system easily visible.With your arm ramrod strait, you disconnect all the breakers in one swipe. You turn and step, now in the dark and slam your fist into where you remember the emergency glass for the big red fire button on the nearby panel sits. You hear the crinkle, feel the resistance of the spring beneath the hard plastic, and your world is bathed in red light and clarion sound.>Write in.
>>30416276Opens into the gymnasium as well?Well, only one thing for it.Bust in and thrown our knife at him, to disrupt and distract him for a moment in the confusion so the girls can let him have it.Shame we lack roses.
Tonight's additional interludes are still in progress and will be posted where appropriate throughout the thread, ending on Financier of the Foundry.
>>30416943-Make sure to note where the knife ends up for later retrieval.Checking the thread while my group gets food, go!
>>30416943This works
>>30416980>>30416943>>30417356Opening the door and throwing your knife at him?Okay.Give me 1d20+7 ranged attack roll as you Join the in progress combat.>Talking, within reason during your turn, is a Free Action if you have anything you want to say.Best of Top 3 rolls. 1's and 20's Wild.
Rolled 1>>30417398
>>30417452Well that was not what I was hoping for...
Rolled 8 + 7>>30417398Quick we need something appropriate to say
Rolled 13 + 7>>30417398Come on 20
>>30417471Fortunately you didn't roll what was requested, so we should be good.
>>30417527...I meant a nat 20. Cheeky dice
>>30417555This is true, I am still waiting on that third roll.This roll was requested with a modifier, which >>30417452 lacks. Therefore the roll does not count.
Rolled 2 + 7>>30417398
Rolled 20>>30417555>>30417579Right well glad I goofed then.
>>30417604...I'm laughing and crying right now.
Rolled 10 + 7>>30417398By the power of the Mo-I mean Eclipse!
>>30417604I thought I took my dice out for that...
Rolled 9, 20, 3 = 32>>30417595>>30417527>>30417515Writing and rolling some dice.
>>30417604Uh huh. And how do you feel now anon?
Rolled 4, 2, 3, 5, 3, 5 = 22>>30417648And rolling again
>>30417649I don't even know right now...
Rolled 2, 5, 2, 6 = 15>>30417700And another set of dice for this round of combat
Well at least attacker wins ties in d20.
>>30417761MC wins ties.That is an important distinction
Rolled 4 + 4>>30417742And last die, your damage.
>>30417817
>>30417793Even better.
>>30417945Is Leaping still active?
>>30417973No, your last casting of Jump wore off while you were looting and rescuing Junior Highschool Studnets.
>>30417817>Initiative Order>Aiha/Sailor Mercury (6)>Mowhawk (5)>Mikage/Eclipse (4)>Koyomi/Sailor Moon (2)The room, it's contents, and all it's occupants not surrounded by a dome of water are covered in a spreading coating of carbon foam. The room is lit only by limited sunlight, the sparks of electricity coming off of Mowhawk, and the light shed by Merucry Bubble Shell.>Sailor Mercury ceases concentration on Mercury Bubble Shield as a free action, casts ????, and dismisses the Mercury Bubble Shield. She makes a 5 foot adjustment directly in front of Sailor Moon & Luna with her arms spread wide. Sailor Mercury is now flat footed and taking active an penalty to AC.>Mohawk hurls his stored Lightening at Sailor Mercury, he loses 2d6 damage because of the insulation, dealing only 6d6 damage. Deals 22 Vitality Damage to Sailor Mercury.>Sailor Mercury does not take 22 Vitality Damage>Sailor Mercury smiles as a free action.>Eclipse throws their knife at Mohawk (AC 17). Success, no degress of success.>Mohawk takes 8 points of Vitality damage, 6 of which Bleed through to wounds.>Sailor Moon stands from kneeling.>Sailor Moon casts Moon Healing Escalation at Mowhawk.>Chemically induced Psychokinetic powers removed.>Assorted Psycho Drug physical enhancements removed.>Cocaine High removed>Rhino-virus Removed>MRSA Colonization Removed.>Mohawk restored 7 Vitality & 8 Emotional Wall.You break through the door in time to see the sphere of water break into mist, and the blue haired girl throw her arms wide between that bastard and your sister as they too are covered in the spreading foam. Before you can react, Mohawk unleashes the last of his stored electrical power into Aiha, into your friend.She doesn't budge. It lances into the dead center of her chest and she smiles, a little unnervingly, as the flash of light fades and her hair stands on end. There is the faintest gleam of madness in her eyes.
>>30418292Mohawk stands on confused, but it doesn't last long as your dagger sails through the air and sinks into his neck. He clutches at the blade in rage as your sister stands and lays a hand on the Imperial Silver Brooch and the room is filled with bubbling light and soft mist. Even from this far away, you can tell that she is injured. How long was she fighting the three of these monstrous men on her own? The familiar feeling and cry of the energies of Moon Healing Escalation extend around you, and when the magic clears, something is different.Mohawk is clearly still injured, but he appears more steady on his feet. More than that, he looks smaller, less broad and bulky; and his ugly sneer has given way to a slightly younger countenance. Sailor Mercury's smile has taken on an almost savage ferocity.>What will you do with your next turn?
>>30418020Hereby suggesting we follow up with a leap across the gymnasium at him ending in a knee to the gut (and knife retrieval) followed shadowy justice one-liner before disappearing into the dark. (Yay, dark gymnasium)
Rolled 5 + 4>>30418318Agility Bonus + Targeting Bonus provided by metal knife against Target's Reduced AC (13)Sailor Power Surge Spent, +1d6 to roll in next post.
Rolled 5>>30418608Planet Power Spent on Surge.
>>30418336Could work. We could also jump behind him and give a chop to the back if the head. Throw him off kilter a bit. Grab knife as he is disoriented. We could also scream at close range. He's farther than 10 ft away from the others, yes?
>>30418648Not sure we'll need that much effort at this point. And our leg attacks land pretty hard with leap as it is (and can be used for subsequent escape).
>>30418787I was merely pointing out the option. Always think ahead and all that.
Rolled 14, 14 = 28>>30418336>>30418648Retrieve your Knife after smacking him then steal away after saying something cool?I need 3d20, modifiers I will add later. Best of 3, 1's 20's wild, etc.First Roll is 1d20+2 for your unarmed strike.Second rolls is your +6, this is middle ground between Deceive and Persuasion.Third roll is your stealth opposed by the above two rolls.First is Sailor Mercury, +7 from intellect and Koyomi's Look Out Heroic Aura.Second is Sailor Moon, +5 from Intellect + Perception + Look Out Heroic Aura.Reminder, Jump is not currently active.
>>30418865Your modifier for the stealth roll which I will add later is +2. The room is dark enough that you count as having cover.
Rolled 6>>30418865Let's do this
>>30418940That was not dice+3d20Please amend your email field so some ass can be kicked.
Rolled 5, 3, 7 = 15>>30418865Almost rolled 31d20 there.
Rolled 10, 16, 16 = 42>>30418963Ah, my bad. Read it wrong.Anyway, on with the ass kicking
Rolled 12, 11, 16 = 39>>30418865Rolling
Rolled 18, 15, 18 = 51>>30418865
Rolled 1, 1, 1 = 3>>30418865Don't mind these 3d6. You don't see anything.Also, writing
>>30419076>3 1's
Rolled 1 + 2>>30418996>>30418999>>30419062Writing, rolling your Unarmed Strike Damage.
>>30419098Weren't we doing Jump thing?Both for damage and speedy escape.
>>30419277Revising, as it was a dead heat.If you cast jump this round, you will not be able to attack until next turn, but you will be able to move behind him. I will store your rolls for the attack and alter the modifiers.Yes or no on Jump?
>>30419376Hm, in that case we would probably want to cast and stealth behind him, then the attack, one-liner, and escape.Should we do that, or should we just hit him now and let the girls mop-up?
>>30419503>>30419376Eah, if you've already rolled for the attack-now version, I guess that works.
>>30419503Okay then, writing.
>>30419376It just doesn't feel right to roll dice and not be bound by the result. Storing the result for later is more meta than I'd like, too.
>>30419660QMs do it all the time. Plus it's better for a slow quest than it is to ask everyone to re-roll their moves and wait another 30 minutes for rolls to complete.
>>30419098>Sailor Mercury Unleashes the Psychic Mimicry stolen offensive power of LIGHTNING BATTERY for 5d6. Sailor Mercury has no degrees of success against enemy's lowered AC of 13.. She looses 2d6 from insulation and deals only 3d6 Lightening Damage to Mohawk.>Mohawk takes 3 points of damage...fuck I wasn't expecting minimum dice rolls, I hoped this would have been more badass. I blame the insulated foam.>Mohawk's Vitality is now 4>Mohawk holds his action, because he doesn't know what the hell just happened and can't feel his super powers from a can.>Eclipse dashes forward, delivers a chop to the back of his head for 3 damage, and retrieves his knife.>Mohawk surrenders>Combat has been broken.2 degrees of success on appearing cool check.Stealth Check contest, fail. Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon see you leave. Sailor Mercury's eyes never broke contact.It's surprising when Aiha cups her hands and lets fly a much smaller arc of electricity. Isn't her power supposed to be water? It doesn't matter, maybe it's a psychic thing. Mohawk is angry, but his power is gone, as is his hold on the crowd who seem to be coming out of the strangle hold and haze he had cast over their minds. The bolt strikes true, at the spot on his neck where you knife remains embedded. He twitches as you fall into action, dashing forward and onto the raised platform.Planting what you hoped to be a solid hit into his back, you whiff and catch only the edges of the now too large suit, but he expends his already near exhausted energy to avoid the force of the blow. He drops to his knees clutching his neck after you pluck your knife out with a pop.“I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I surrender. I give”~To beg for the mercy you and your men were so ready to deny others. Hmph, you're lucky I am a friend of justice.~You shoot a nod and a wave to the two Sailor Scouts, and the still dazed crowd still regaining their faculties.~Though your fate is now in hands other than my own~1/?
>>304197422/2You dive into the still confused crowd and roll, your cape a billowing wonder behind you. You try to cling to the shadows as you maneuver your way to one of the open doors. Catching the corner of your eye is Sailor Mercury still, following your every move until you break line of sight into the hallway, Sailor Moon scans the crowd frantically, only catching sight you again as you dive from the room.“Who was that!?” your sisters wonders with stars in her eyes.“He's...a friend, we need to get Luna out of here!” you still hear the blush in Aiha's voice. Okay, perhaps you hadn't embarrassed her.It occurs to you a moment too late the roll Tuxedo Mask and the Moon Light Knight often played in the saga of your parent's youth. That you've managed to make such an impression on a young girl's heart, even under such pretenses both amuses you and puts a tightness on your heart...wait, no. That's the still smoking second degree burn.>Run outside, drop disguise, and leave before Emergency Services show up.>Cast Jump and Roof Hop home.>Drop disguise and cut the girls off as Mikage, so you can use magic to heal Luna, she looks like she took a nasty hit.>Write in
Well this is a tough spot, I want to keep up the mysterious loner look but at the same time, Luna IS indeed injured.Maybe we can pretend we've just ran in? Or is that too obvious?
>>30419783So is Aiha develpojng a crush on her masked dark rescuer?
>>30419912Mikage was the one to call Koyomi to warn her that Aiha was in danger.Her showing up out of the blue would not be entirely unfathomable.
>>30419783>Drop disguise and cut the girls off as Mikage, so you can use magic to heal Luna, she looks like she took a nasty hit.>>30419937Probably. And I bet she hints at it later too.
>>30419994>>30419912Writing, but first. Interlude.
>>30420250Ancient Aliens Interlude:Stretching beneath your vantage point, you appreciate the distant curvature of the earth. You imagine that from where you are now in the air, you are seeing somewhere into the upper boarder between central China and Russia. A testament to the engineering marvel you sit comfortably in now, you must be at the upper edge of the stratosphere.They had told you that it wouldn't be a military or diplomatic jet that would take you home to Japan, home to Tokyo, for this emergency...and emergency they hadn’t even had the courtesy to brief you on as you were rushed to the airport, the UN Aid promising everything would be explained during the three hours in Transit. Three hours from some middle of nowhere air field, with a plane ready to go with some lavish accomodations.The door from the upper level of the plane opens, and two men descend. You hope one of them is your host. First among them is a rather excited looking short bearded middle aged caucasian gentleman in dark browns and earth tones, a vest between his jacket and tie; and his hair is something wild. Coming up in an expertly combed and suspended shape that appears as though he were hanging upside down. The second is a smartly dressed man in a blue double breasted suit, rather than a tie around his neck there is a light aqual blue cravat held with a small gold pendant. His features are dark, East Indian you imagine, but with eyes and hair more reminiscent of southern China.1/?
>>304202872/2“Good day, Mr. Chiba,” and he speaks with a decidedly British accent.“And good day to you, mister...”“Doctor Jonathan Ward Chou,” you pause. You know this man's name, though you are certain that no one has ever seen his face.Jonathan Ward Chou, the CEO of Ellis Unlimited. A multinational corporation that bucked trends in recent years by focusing it's profits solely on humanitarian aid, and improving the lives of it's employees abroad regardless of local labor laws or traditions; at the express cost of unending executive bonuses. Ellis Unlimited is a company that was very public, but shrouded in secrecy; though you've had the pleasure of working with them on multiple occasions in the past. Favorable contract negotiations, dealing with corrupt local officials and worried local leaders.Like any you'd dealt with, the entire organization was certainly not made of angels, but you know Chou's name, as far as you're concerned he's one of the good guys.“And may I introduce you another member of the UN Paranormal Think Tank being brought in for our meeting with the JSDF, Mr. Tsoukalos. His research and theories have proven useful in recent years and relevant to our mission today,”“Ah, so we're finally getting to the matters at hand. Good day, Mister Tsoukalos,”"He'll brief you on the archeological findings, Mr. Chiba" Doctor Chou intones, taking a seat beside you."Oh, I'm so excited! Not to meet you, Mr. Negotiator, I just love giving this slide show and people ACTUALLY taking it seriously" he's giddy as a screen drops from the ceiling, “Well, my part in this project proper is fairly recent, but my relevant research begins about ten or so years ago, when I suggested that Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts fit into the Ancient Astronaught theory,”
>>30419783>Run outside, drop disguise, and leave before Emergency Services show up.
>>30419994>>30419912Rounding a corner you head out into the courtyard near the front of the school, and once you get to the gate, make an about face and start running back in. As you clear the center of the quad, halfway back to the door, your sister and Aiha in their normal clothing erupt from the dark, Koyomi carrying Luna in what you imagine was a pilfered science fair project box and towel. Your younger sister looks decidedly poor at the moment. Scuffed and bruised, with a large purple blotch running the length of her arm. Had she been hit by that bastard's lightning?~Thank god you two are okay!~ you feign being winded. ~What happened? Is Luna okay~“Mi-Mikage-san! Koyomis-san, I still don't know what's going on,” Aiha's eyes dart between you, then settle on you as if noticing something for the first time, “wait, re-”Her thoughts are cut off by Luna's screaming.You are within arm's reach of your sister in an instant, hand already reaching into the box, energy already flowing through your finger tips.~I can heal her~ you state clearly as the faintest glow begins on the tips of your fingers.“No, Oneechan, I already did. Luna, I think Luna's in labor,”>Wait, what?>Get her home (ten minutes main road, with the emergency situation at the school the local police kiosks will be distracted, though there might be unforeseen delays)>Get her to the Mizuno residence (seven minutes away, though there might be unforeseen delays.)>Get her to the Jupiter Cafe (seven minutes away, though there might be unforeseen delays.)>Write In
>>30420613>>Get her to the Mizuno residence (seven minutes away, though there might be unforeseen delays.)Makes the most sense really.Also, are we still Eclipse or have we gone back to base form? Also, did Aiha recognize us?
>>30420658>Also, are we still Eclipse or have we gone back to base form?Base form
>>30420658Forgot to write it, yes, you are back to being Mikage.
>>30420613>Wait what>Get her to the Mizuno residence (seven minutes away, though there might be unforeseen delays.)
>>30420613>Get her home (ten minutes main road, with the emergency situation at the school the local police kiosks will be distracted, though there might be unforeseen delays)
>>30420658> Also, did Aiha recognize us?She knows who we are, not that we're EclipseWe've technically met before, just a very long time ago

>>30420613>>Get her to the Jupiter Cafe (seven minutes away, though there might be unforeseen delays.)
>>30420966I have been offered some dinner like objects by my Luna. Will return shortly.
>>30421384Back at it, inbound.
How closed is the Lurk site's communications?Hopefully we can claim to follow @RedEyedBeast too.If the communications to Red were private, we could go with her mysteriously forwarding Aiha being in danger to us. If it wasn't private, then maybe we can say we noticed while playing hookie.Worse comes to worse, we 'fess up' to running the 'fake' account, claim ignorance of Eclipse, and perhaps suggest he is someone else following that heard the trouble.
>>30420966“Aiha, you're place is closest. Right!”She nods, meekly. A sharp contrast to the bristling destroyer she was inches from becoming. You wonder a moment, if not for the foam could she have killed the bastard back there? Letting your thoughts drift as you pivot on your heel, you do a quick mental break down of the parts of the fight you witnessed. A smile creeps on your lips as you face away from the too, the emergency at hand still fresh in your mind. Aiha and Koyomi did good. Their tactics were sound and they worked together wonderfully.You wish for a moment that your own experiences fighting alongside someone had gone so smoothly.Three across you run to the Aiha's family home. It isn't a long run, and Koyomi despite herself actually manages not to trip for once despite her near panic and tears. The care she gives her precious charge and member of your family. If your sister had healing magic like you as she said, then Luna would be okay; you just need to get her to a safe place for...They rush past you, Aiha and Koyomi, as you falter and loose step.Luna was in labor.Luna was giving birth.Luna was giving birth to this time line's version of Diana.She's giving birth to the Mau who should have been your advisor...your guardian.The same guardian that * SHE * had.Where was she when you needed her? Where was she whe-No! You're running hard again. Your sister and Aiha had barely a chance to turn around to see why you lost step when you catch up and rocket past them; causing them to push themselves to keep up.This was Luna's daughter. She wouldn't suffer like you did. She wouldn't have to live any part of this with a lie, and even though you doubt Diana would do it, you're damn well making sure this kitten isn't getting compared to her other.“HURRY UP!” you shout, perhaps needlessly and perhaps angry. Gotta keep up appearances after all, and you are a bitch.1/?
>>30422078You never notice the two watching from the school's roof. One in an elegant and flowing black dress, the other a shorter black outfit with trims of blue and a visor over her eyes.“I don't think we'll need to worry about them; and Luna will be fine,” the Blue Haired woman says with a curt professionalism to the more elegantly and provocatively dressed blonde woman.The blonde woman sits down, pushing one of her long pigtails off of her shoulder and watching the three girls race toward the other woman's home.“No Ami,” she smiles, “We don't. Come on, let's meet with the others,”And without you knowing they were there...they are gone.>>>>>The room is comfortable, though tense. Luna sleeps curled around a still blind kitten, basking in it's mother's warmth. Your sister, thoroughly squeamish in the face of nature, lies fainted on the floor in front of the couch, a pillow under her face and a paper towel saving it from her sleeping drool.Aiha approaches the couch with two bottles of chilled green tea; she's nervous...and you imagine you're going to be the one to field the questions.You gird yourself for it, talking about the things you don't like talking about. About the moon. About the Senshi, about Magic.For a moment you worry you need to be careful with what you think, Aiha is a mind reader after all.Okay, you're braced. You can answer any question about the Magical Girl bullshit she just stepped in without freaking out.She sits next to you, nervously.“Mikage-san,” she glances away, uncertain, “Are...are you @redeyedbeast?”Okay, not a question you were prepping for, but a valid one nonetheless.>Yes, it's my account.>No, just a friend of her's (Deceive roll required)>That's your first question?>Write In
>>30422011The conversation Mikage had with Aiha was a Direct Message series of exchanges. It's why Mikage asked her why she didn't 'post' the photo publicly.
>>30422128>>That's your first question?
>>30422128>>Yes, it's my account.
>>30422128>That's your first question?>...Yes, it's my account.
>>30421002Jupiter Cafe sounds fun, but let's be honest, a cafe is not the best place to give birth, even if it does have a more guaranteed chance of having an adult present.
>>30422363Oops. Page obviously hadn't loaded in a while. >>30422128>That's your first question?>...Yes, it's my account.

>>30422461This is me.
>>30422128> Yes, it's my account> That's your first question?
>>30422128I'd go with being another follower.
>>30422508Oh great job captcha!
>>30422517Only redeyedbeast got the extra details from conversation.Plus it describes us. That said, she might thus assume we know who Eclipse is, which we obviously don't. ...Except that Eclipse specifically said he'd been sent by a friend, iirc. Damn. I'd hoped we might have been able to pass him off as a follower or somesuch. Still, it's not like we neccessarily have to give away the details.And if she starts going on about how handsome and suave Eclipse was, we'll probably be so embarrassed that we won't..
>>30422461>>30422011Alright, down to worst comes to worst.Fake account, not the real deal, sent panic messages everywhere you could think of while running to help, including your sister and @RedEyedBeast followers that acted like they were in this area.
>>30422607Which is why I had already made suggestions as how to pass that off.
>>304221281/2You stare at her a second, the lost and earnest look in her eyes and she darts between her drink and your own red eyes, pushing a stray strand of her own blue hair back behind her ear. Your shock wears and you laugh, not a small giggle or a lengthy guffaw, but a laugh. You've laughed a few times today, it's pleasant to laugh as yourself again. To feel comfortable enough to laugh.~That's your first question~ you wipe a tear from your eye, ~Seriously? Not about the magical girl stuff? Not about the talking cat? This is where you start?~She seems really embarrassed, and perhaps on the verge of being mad; but she touches her temples for a minute and calms down, as you finally get how funny you find this under control.~Yes, it's my account. Its fun being someone you're not sometimes, especially online. And I managed to meet some cool people,~ you recline into the sofa and tilt back the squared bottle in a long sip. ~Still didn't expect anyone I actually know to follow though~“I didn't expect it either, it's nice to think I still have friends...and...and. Thank you,” she's quiet, aw man, is she going to cry, “I was scared. I don't have many friends...so Lurk was the only place I could think to call,”~Why not your mother?~
>>304231232/2“That woman....” she sighs, “I can barely get her to take an interest in my grades. I'm not going to bother her with any of my other problems,”Ouch, you may have struck a nerve there.~...so~ you set the bottle down on top of your sister's forehead with the cap screwed on tight before folding your legs onto the cushion ~about the rest of the stuff...what do you want to know first?~She looks at the transformation wand in her hand.“I honestly don't know. That man, he called me a Princess...” she blushes and trails off, looking away from you.>Guy? What guy?>Eclipse? Yeah, he can be a bit melodramatic.>Well...you are a princess. So am I, so is my sister. It's...complicated. It all started a long time ago with a magical civilization on the moon where my mom and dad fell in love so hard that they pulled a Romeo & Juliette on a cosmic scale.>You're heir to a dead throne, charged with protecting this world with my sister like I was...like our mom's were.>Oh, you've become one of THOSE. Ask the cat. This shit doesn't concern me anymore.>write in

>>30423147>>Guy? What guy?Same as first response anon. I could also accept this.
>>30423147>Guy? What guy?She could mean evil drugged up bastards. Also, we're not Eclipse. Nopenopenope.
>>30423147>Guy? What guy?Could be any guy. Not like we know who she s referring too

>>30423455>>30423456Your luck/timing is both lucky and annoying.Writing in a different direction that what I'd been thinking about after I saw the way the wind blowing. Or so I thought.
>>30423468I worry more about our sister, she's going to ask us how we know him next. Way easier to just pretend we don't know who he is.
>>30423455~Eclipse, yeah he can be melodramatic sometimes~ not a lie, you just made him up and you know for a fact he is all ham, all the time.“Oh.” she says meeting your eyes again. There is some moment of conflict before she seems to resolve something, “Do you know him very well?”~Well enough~ you know she is going to try and push this line of questioning. What do you tell her.>It's from a part of my life I don't like to talk about anymore.

>>30423522Koyomi fainted. We'll just have to work the conversation so that Aiho doesn't have cause to ask her about it later, or phrase it so that Koyomi won't be able to call us out on it.>>30423703>>It's from a part of my life I don't like to talk about anymore. (Persuasion test)Ooh, yes. We can make it like Eclipse is someone we knew from our old hero days!
>Well enough to know that he's single (Deceive, Persuasion)I'm sorry, we have to. And we can always switch out with someone who actually has a crush on the Semi-crazy Water Princess
I REALLY wish we hadn't had gone this way now. It's best to have just pretended to sort-of-know him. >"He's sort of a friend of the family, I don't know him TOO well, Luna knows him better than I do"

>>30423882Because you aren't smart enough to be a talking cat tricking another talking cat by hiding in an arcade cabinet and pretending to be a secret society she works for.
>>30423703>>30423787I would totally vote for the 'single' thing if I could come up with even the santiest bit of reasoning to make it seem in character.
>>30423703[X]"...I don't wanna talk about it."It's clear that we have enough drama going on with just the family. Make it sound like Eclipse is a good person, but one we will take great lengths to avoid being seen with. This may also help us alibi wise?"we could have used your help or something!""saw eclipse, figured magic shit was going down, turned and went the other way."It's crazy enough to backfire spectacularly, but it should work for the short term.

>>30424202~It's from a part of my life I don't like to talk about anymore~ you're quick and cold with it.It cuts into the shy girl, and she halts for a moment.“Oh...I see,” she looks away, down at Koyomi, “That part of your life...was it always so dangerous and...exciting?”~If you can do it, more power to you. Listen, if you want answers, just open a can of tuna. It'll perk her right up and you'll get all the answers you need,~“But...oh, she just gave birth. I don't think it'd be-”~I was talking about Koyomi.~ you rise and stretch, popping your spine back in place from whatever unholy thing this uncomfortable sofa beast did to it.Aiha laughs. It's nice and reserved. Your imagination drifts for a moment as you think about that gleam you saw in her eyes, that wicked and twisting smile when she felt powerful. What kind of laugh does that Aiha have, you wonder.“Thank you, Mikage,” ah, an improvement. She isn't stuttering anymore, “You don't have to tell me about it. I understand having things you don't, can't, talk about. Thank you for coming, thank you for sending your friend,”>Be polite, how? stick around.>Be polite, how? leave.>Be rude, how? stick around.>Be rude, how? leave.>Write in.

>>30424448Strange thing is, I didn't send him, I called my sister. Not sure how he knew about it.

So, question is nowHow do we explain this to Mom?
>>30424714With hand puppets.
>>30424714We don't need to, she already saw it
>>30424714teenage rebellion.and emulating dad
>>30424745>and emulating dadDo you think she'd be proud of us for extremely irritated?
>>30424737Okay that's better than my idea
>>304246962nd this line of thought
>>30424757both>>30424737fingerpuppets are superior
Btw, noticed a couple issues on Koyomi's sheet.Have both 'instead of' and 'further' in the senshi bit of Moon Child, which kinda conflict.Luna Light Bean.And a mention of archmage tier in the Vitality boost section.
>>30424835Of course, how foolish of me!
>>30424757Emulating dad and be honest that we're still skittish about being a part of that world, but we can't not help them. This way we can help them, but more from the sidelines and not any extra pressure on us as Mikage to be involved, just a random friend of the Scouts known as Eclipse that can show up, help out, and disappear again.We're not a Scout anymore mom, but we still want to help behind the scenes.
>>30425071Or we go deeper with the lies (even if we out of characterly know that she knows, but we don't know that). At this point though, I think we need to keep honesty open on one front. I think she'll be happy enough that we're getting out there to go along with it, and maybe be proud. (Heck, it seems what we don't know is that they are doing similar with us, staying to the sidelines to let us grow)
Back>>30424923Thanks anon, I'll do a quick review again. Note that I did the original draft of the sheet on my phone...that was fun.
>>30425553No problem. I've been finding that typing/editing from a phone can be a mighty pain.
Counting and Writing.
I wonder.. if we go down the shadow magic path, do you suppose we would eventually see through shadows/darkness?That could be cool.
>>30426065Maybe we could eventually meld with the shadows that way. But I'm worried shadow magic might have it's own downsides.
>>304257671/2You turn to face the girl, still somehow sitting on that monstrous thing of anti comfort that dare call itself a sofa. You lean down and wince at the pain in your chest as you press into the girl in a full hug. Aiha only really opens herself up online; where she doesn't have to worry about being to close to people, where she doesn't have to risk accidentally picking up on their thoughts. She stiffens; poor thing, doesn't know how to take a hug.~I'm not a part of that life anymore,~ you say to her softly ~but, I don't want to see anyone I care about go through it alone~You release the younger girl and walk over to Luna, and pet the darn cat while she sleeps. You idly wonder if she settled on a name. You aren't sure if she's going to stick with Diana or if she's going to do what your mother did, and choose for her to have her own name to forge her identity with.Tearing your eyes away from the sleeping kitties as you stroke them gently, you shoot them back at Aiha who is still blushing and stammering again. You can't resist, not that she's paying attention enough right now to really know if you're lying.~Funny thing is, I didn't send him at all. I just called my sister. Not sure how he knew about it...never was before~The shocked exclamation for the blue haired girl is enough to stir even your sister. Eventually the two get to excitedly talking about what happened; and Koyomi won't let go that Aiha should be the water guy, she can't go around throwing lightning at people, it just isn't done.
>>304262432/2“Besides, we'll have a Jupiter before this month is out,” Koyomi logics, “If we have too much lightening then they'll be none left for the rain,” ...and just like that you can clear your mind.You sit quietly with the cats, because fuck it, kittens are fluffy and adorable while this continues. Eventually the room seems to fall away slightly, like a more complete version of the pull you felt to the Study earlier today. This time its to a numbers on the remote control pad for the television.Reaching for it, the world comes back into focus, how late is it anyway? You turn on the TV, if only to get the time, and see something you should have expected...you must have been petting Luna for a very long time. There on screen, walking through a parting crowd are Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts. Clad now in black battle dresses sporting their individual colors with only the faintest total hint of design connection to the sailor uniform.Ami is the first to react, in shock. She all but screams when the original Sailor Mercury is on camera with the others walking toward Naru Osaka's podium.“MOM!?”End Episode 07
>>30426264Enter Sandman1/?Enter Sandman InterludeYou watch as your love fades, her hair loose and pooled around the two of you in the field, grass around you depressed and flattened in your expressions.“I'm waking up, Helios...I always hate this part, but I'll always sleep again tomorrow,” she smiles serenely, her flickering hand reaching out for your own."Then tomorrow night, and every night, my love, until I can again walk by your side beyond this memory of Elysion" you lean in to kiss her forehead, but by the time your lips reach where she lay, she is already gone and you are left clutching the gown that had become little more than comforting bed sheet upon which to watch the beautiful sky and endless space above.Findhing your shirt, you pull it over your head, careful not to catch in your horn, and recline again in the afterglow of a lovely evening.Your concentration fades, and you are again surrounded by reminders of your failure. Reminders of a fallen kingdom. You were the Guardian of Elysion, and ultimately you failed when your kingdom needed you. Your Prince has forgiven you, and even now you hold the heart of his eldest daughter...but the guilt still lingers.“To surround yourself with the defeat of your home?” an unfamilair voice sounds. “Hmph, I cannot tell if such an eternal memory is inspiring or sad?”
>>304263642/2The figure stands tall and is wrapped in black. He sports lavishly stained and engraved leather grieves and bracers. There are studs along the seem of his shoulders and further a number of unfamiliar weapons primed to be drawn...but you know he doesn't really need them.“I don't know you stranger. None should be able to enter here unless I allow them,”“I'm a simple thief, and now you know me. I have no name you would know, at least not now.” he smiles beneath his mask as he advances. “I am loyal. I am a survivor. And to you, to you I come to tell you that the Shadow of the Earth will again be cast upon the moon,”“Those are called an Eclipse; and they are sadly natural,” you draw your hands forward and concentrate on your power...and sending a signal to the eyes you have set about watching your back in these times of dealings..“Not like this it isn't. For the Shadow Will Fall, and build something new from the ashes of old”Both of you move in a snap.And then it all goes black.
>>30426383And that's it for the night. Tired. Crashing, love you all. Goodnight.If the thread is still up in the morn, I will field some Questions and Answering so post em if you got em.Night all
>>30426264Bork, gibber, and murgle are my first thoughts.What is going on there..
>>30426404Cool man, thanks for quest, sleep well.
>>30426404ThanksThis thread will probably be here tomorrow, so good night
>>30426404I'm'a just comment that the level of detail you've put into those character sheets is amazing. I look forward to seeing the others.
>>30426383>Shadow of the Earth will again be cast upon the moon>Eclipse>Eclipsed Moon Quest>We are Eclipse>Tuxedo Mask (Dad) had the starseed of Earth.>All the other kids are inheriting their parents' True StarSeeds.>We keep talking about becoming this gen.s Tuxedo Mask.I know it was supposed to be obvious that the Thief was talking about us. I just thought I'd point out how much of what we do must have been planned out by Artemis in advance, and also post a weirdly sfw picture of him and his wife fucking on Usagi's bed.
>>30428144Actually, I not sure 'thief' is talking about us now. When Artemis did the Financier of the Foundry teaser I thought for sure they were, but it seems 'The Shadow will Fall' has a deeper meaning to it. More like a positive-oriented expression for them. Like the Shadow of the Earth is their empire and its superiority or rule over the Moon is significant to them, like some kind of shadowy ancient aliens version of 'the south shall rise again' and the Silver Court was their North.
>>30426204Well, our Shadow path is opened by our Earth/Moon magic relationship, both of which are full of positive things for our paths on them.It could be that we tap into the 'good' side of the same thing our foes might draw on the dark side of. Much like Earth and Moon paths could easily have much evilier things, take Beryl for instance who would likely have Earth as a path as an Earth queen/sorceress.
>>30426848Working on Kumada Rin right now. I am tempted to never actually stat the original scouts because FUCK making High Level/High Tier characters in one go. The amount of effort cranking out level 1 or 3? I'm actually kind of dreading when they level up/Tier up.At least for Mikage I'm just presenting you with options...That said, I should totally finish the Trainings list. Feat lists, and spell paths.
>>30431109You know, because Mikage just cleared the gap to level 4.And next session, if you guys don't take the time to magic the fuck out of that burn, there will remain a disfiguring scar, that burned hole a fraction of an inch wide and several centimeters deep.Unless it's something you would have taken care of while Luna was in labor or while you were petting the cats?Either way, there will be a superficial skin discoloration scar where the burn was if you heal it. Something that can be faded with scar gel.Wounds like that from her Senshi days? Didn't stick around like that. One of the fringe benefits.
>>30431294You get a feat at levels 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19You get +1 build point to two different ability scores at levels 4,8,12,16, & 20.At Level 10 & 20, you get a flat +1 increase across the board to your ability scores.Every Level Mikage gets Training Points to spend equal to 6 + her intelligence bonus. An increased intelligence bonus does not affect Trainings point totals acquired at earlier levels.She gains a maxed 1d8 + Endurance bonus to Vitality. If her Endurance changes, it rolls back and affects all hit dice.She gains a maxed 1d8 + her highest Mental stat for emotional wall. If her highest mental stat changes, it is retroactively rolls back on all Hit Dice.This level you learn 3 New Spells, all of 2nd Level.This level your MP becomes 11 base + Ability score bonus MP chart of 4, 15 MP in total once level up to 4 is finished.Huh, I guess I should post your spell paths to level 2 or something, shouldn't I? I'll make those during the week. Working on the Trainings list and Feats list now.So, how do you guys like the adult senshi outfits designed by the guy whose art I've formed the basis of this quest on?How do you like everything so far?Would you like the Lurk Friends lists for @RedEyedBeast or one of her other accounts?Being Friends on Lurk is something both parties have to agree on, where as you can follow or be followed by anyone unless you block them.
>>30430302Yes, actually. Nice pick up. It is a South Shall rise again kinda of thing.but, I would like to point something out. If memory serves there were a few kingdoms on earth before Beryl conquered it all and enslaved most of them with Metallia's power.I ask you a question, friends.What did the thief survive?How can he waltz into the realm of Helios/Pegasus?Why has he waltzed into the realm of Helios/Pegasus?
>>30431547Also, new perk unlocked.Sensitive: you may take psychic feats, and you may be given info about strange feelings, disturbing dreams, and inexplicable occurrences. You have no control over these things.
Anyway, Next thread will have the Financier of the Foundry Interlude posted after the first story post. This time, I'm also listing the location of the Interlude.However there is the matter of next thread's opening interlude. Choose, /tg/ choose the form of the interlude. Choose and perish.>Believe in your heroes (Outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building)>Loyalty beyond death (Mamoru & Usagi Chiba's Study)>All of us cast a shadow (a forgotten place with a shattered throne)Choose your Interlude! CHOOSE IT! THIS TIME THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
>>30431825>>All of us cast a shadow (a forgotten place with a shattered throne)Let's find out about the bad guys.
Traingings & Feats under construction & Spell pathshttp://pastebin.com/cjPxgPVXhttp://pastebin.com/bCVPdABG...this is what slow death feels like...I need a nap and I've only been up for 3 hours.
>Believe in your HeroesAlso, I think we should get rid of that scar.
>>30431294Yeah we should be taking care of that as soon as we could. Scars and wincing in pain are bad for our cover, besides the obvious health benefits of healing.First opportunity after we heard Luna was ok. Like hit the bathroom for a moment and get that set.
>>30432311As much as I would really like to go with that, Artemis left us hanging pretty hard with that teaser of the original crew appearing on freaking television.>>30431825>Believe in your heroes.Dang it Loyalty and Shadows both look awesome, but after that lead off we can't not lead in with the interlude attached to it.
I think we should go Shadow route if we can for magic. It'd be Wise, Man.Other then that, is there any way we can either make our flip knife into a actual knight's sword - or, well, a scimitar? Or, maybe, turn it into the focus of our Tiara Magic?
>>30433464First you would need to be empowered in such a way to have a Tier of Power.Though it's fringe benefits have worn off on you after being dormant for so long, actually...no.I, the QM do not know if Mikage could still activate Moon Power Make Up on her own right now.Only the dice would know for sure, an you guys would have to actively attempt it. And given the way you lot are actively playing Mikage, I don't really see that happening unless in dire straights.
>>30431294Yeah, I don't think Mikage would sit around petting the cats without taking care of her burning flesh wound.
>>30434122So noted and will be taken care of next thread.
>>30433464Maybe something we could work out with shadow or disguise magic. Though I'm ok with knife as a knife. Even the Moonlight Knight only had an undersized blade, and we're going the next tier of sneaky.>>30433785Wouldn't need a tier for that I would think, assuming we could find a means. Are you saying that senshi tiers could normally provide those means? Interesting.Though I agree it would be more of a dire situation thing for us to try, wouldn't we need a means of transformation for that?While it is tapping into an inborn power, I hadn't considered it could be done without a widget before.Then again, dad never needed a widget.
>>30434174It's how Mikage turned her normal flute into the Tranquility flute.And how Koyomi will make Hunter's Moon...which she'll complain about because it's shape works counter to the way bows are supposed to work.Also, fun fact. Run is the only one without a Powers/Spells remembered chart. She learns like a Wizard with Eidetic Memory.Like her mom she is theoretically capable of spell development.
>>30434345Rin. Not Run. Stupid phone
>>30431609Apparently, I am only now becoming aware of the Negaverse not being a thing outside the dub.Apparently my thoughts on thing having light and dark aspects is about right, what with the dark side of The Sun being a major villain.Also confused on when Elysium was destroyed and where Helios' body is now. Been awhile since I've watched and wikis seem to be giving me unclear information.
>>30435065There is quite a lot that the dub made up. There is also quite a lot that the anime made up. There is also quite a lot that this quest is making up. Ain't nothing wrong with that.But every time you use "it's" as a possessive pronoun, a kitten dies.
>>30435123Oh no. I really don't want a kitten today. Especially not today. Because there is a kitten there, RIGHT THERE
>>30431294>that burned hole a fraction of an inch wide and several centimeters deep.So we'll have a hole where our heart should be? Neat. Cool way to impress the new kids.
>>30431825Believe in your heroes.
Just learned that yesterday I totally missed a monthly D&D game while I was out running errands....that depresses me.So I'll probably run episode 08 tomorrow starting in the AM, EST.Who'll be around?
>>30435627Monday is my other weekday off, so it's good for me.Also around today, feeling a bit under the weather and not up to traveling to my usual Sunday game, but well enough to make it here.
>>30431294>Unless it's something you would have taken care of while Luna was in labor or while you were petting the cats?I see zero reason why we wouldn't have done this, the only reason we didn't do this is because you didn't mention it. Which made me assume that we had already taken care of it because it would be pretty foolish for anyone to walk around with a big painful hole in them simply because they 'weren't thinking about it at the time'.
>>30436303It had been mentioned. Initially we were rushed back to check on Luna instead of doing anything else after the fight. So we wouldn't have got to until after we were told she was alright.Given the option, I would say we would heal as soon as we could after that.
>>30436303>>30436381And so it will be included and the MP spent.
So. A point of Order.Mikage has 8 or so Training Points to spend on Trainings, both existing or new. Her cap in any one training is currently 4.Mikage has no new feat slots this level.Mikage has opened 3 Spell slots of 2nd level. What spells from her available paths would you like to learn? You also have the option of forgetting one spell you already know and replacing it with another of an equal level.You also have the power to select two of your basic statistics and raise each of them by 1.Choose these things, friends. Once the choice is made I will apply the whole of the level up to 4 to Mikage.
>>30436868We might need some spells to select from.Off-hand, I'd say we take the replacement option as well, we don't seem to be packing a tiara any time soon.*peers at the sheet* ..Can we put points into (Locked)?Given our chosen role, Acrobatics, Persuasion, Deceive, and Intimidate seem like our core skills to keep developing. That leaves 3 more to play around with. Need to see what skills we should develop to better round out the team.Wait, is Stealth a training? I which case, I think I found where the rest of those points need to go.As for basic statistics.. I'm leaning toward Endurance and Will, as the less powered team member, we might need to toughen up a bit.Alternatively, we could work on bringing up Agility and Charisma to work toward increasing our core skills more.
>>30437796muh dick muh memories
>>30437796Spells and Trainings list were posted here in thread >>30433043
>>30436868>Mikage has opened 3 Spell slots of 2nd level. What spells from her available paths would you like to learn? If we can retrain one, I'd like Magic Rose because, well, we're fucking Tuxedo Eclipse. Scream if we can, and Cure Light Wounds if not.As for our 3 new spells: Darkness, Control Darkness and Shadow, and Briar Web or Soften Earth and Stone.

Because I'm feeling damn musical at the moment whilst I wait for you guys to tell me how you'd like to level...and there is really no time limit on this. It'll be settled next thread or so with a vote, but now is a great time to discuss.>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F3Wnpk4dlM>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5dT_6bUbzE>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6_RZhh44NY>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phOt1YZuUYw>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlo89LrJ1AA
>>30438948He knows a guy.
>>30433043An important question for me here is, are the D&D spell descriptors applying?Casue I want to say Dark Bolt for ~Eclipse La Shadow Bomber~, but some of the tags on that concern me.
>>30439247As far as you know, alignment based descriptors don't exist, but if you use a spell that does carry an evil descriptor or reach out to the knowledge of one...well, you'd be aware something was off.That said, I'm curious what all of you think Mikage's D&D style alignment would be at this point?
>>30439394Somewhere around Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral.
>>30439394True Neutral. Maybe Neutral Good
>>30439394She's Good,that much is solid. Enough so that she can't really help but get involved and try to help when real trouble hits, even when she really tried to stop.Order/Chaos? She's neutral at best, with a leaning toward Chaotic now. Enjoys the freedom of pretending to be other personas and weaving tales around them, and is taking to operating outside the normal senshi conventions pretty well.
>>30439394I'm feeling chaotic good. She walked away from this shit once and still can't stop herself from getting involved, but she's also sneaking around and deceiving her friends.There are worse alignments to have.
>>30439569Though she sticks to acting 'in character' for her personas, doesn't get lorandom, and doesn't go out of her way to buck most rules. Goes to school, does her homework, only occasionally plays hookie, seems to listen to her parents for the most part.I'd say NG. She'll follow the rules or fight them, whichever she needs to do while trying to be Good.
Gaaah, so many 1st level spells I want to have.
>>30433043I notice Jump is on the Senshi list, I suppose the rest of the list is closed to us at the moment?Shame, Aid and Resist Energy could be great support spells, and a True Strike'd rose attack would be cool
>>30439652lolrandom is a characteristic of being a bad player, not of a chaotic character, but you have a point about breaking rules.
>>30440738In my system, True Strike is kind of a beast of a spell.Take a moment to think about just how much so.
>>30440805Aye, there's a reason I'd would put it on our list if allowed access.
>>30440738You can still select spells from the Senshi List, as you still have Senshi spells on your list.There are a few others psychics and spell casters on earth who have access to different cultural or magic tradition spell lists here or there, each list is a path.Senshi is part of Mikage's heritage so she can still tap into it.
>>30440988Just note that I've got to alter each spell selected so they fit the changes to the system.Saves become opposed rolls & etc.Though with that in mind, I'm considering adding the spell level to the caster part in the opposed roll.
>>30440988Don't suppose we'd have an option to trade in Level 2 slot for a couple Level 1s?I'm making a list of options I like and am having trouble paring the list down.
Artemis, I notice you've been mentioning Mau and the guardians being the last of them.With the anime, Mau and such details didn't come up, while in the manga these details come up and get corrected in the same arc. Are you going a bit hybrid continuity with the fleshed out origin and Tin Kitten begin from Mau, with Mau being among the worlds that fell to Shadow Galactica, and the anime resolution that had Sailor Galaxia heading out to restore things with Star Seeds in tow? (rather than the insta-restore). Thus we have the origin and presumed-dead world together?
>>30441298Or more of a 'died out'/lost in between the time Luna and Artemis were being sent to the future to watch over/activate the girls?
>>30441134You have a Spells Known Chart.Aiha has a more Flexible Powers known/maximum power level known progressionRin gets Wizard progression for maximum flexibility.And so forth.Once you have access to a Power Tier, you can get more spells easily. There are also feats that grant extra spells known.Also, I believe you'll be getting more lvl 1 spells known as you progressOr if you can get your hands on an object or weapon with it's own spells known for you to use.>>30441104Also: Damage Notes for Different Damage Types:While Specific Weapons may have a notation of how they deal in successes, the following are true if no baseline is listed. The damage listed for elemental damage is for weapon like spells or as trade offs for weapons that are magically endowed with an elemental damage die or non magically on fire or electrifying.Bludgeoning1 Success for 3 Vitality, 2 Successes for 1 woundPiercing1 Success for 2 Vitality, 1 Success for 2 WoundsSlashing1 Success for 2 Vitality, 1 Success for 2 woundsSubdue2 Success for 3 Vitality, 4 success for 1 woundBallistics1 Success for 2 Vitality, 1 Success for 4 WoundsFire1 Success for 2 Vitality, 1 Success for 2 wounds.Acid, Cold, Electricity, Sonic, & Desiccation will be gone into detail later.This shit will eventually be in a collected rules pastebin, taking several of the rules out of Mikage's character sheet and moving them there.
>>30433043If you're looking for more Shadow Path ideas, I might suggest looking of the the Shadow Magic out of the Tome of Magic.Fun stuff, in my own opinion, and, like much of that book, has only been called underpowered at worst.In case you don't have it: www.reality.net/dnd/pdf/DnD%20-%20Tome%20of%20Magic.pdf
>>30442100How the hell does 'looking into the' turn into 'looking of the the'?
>>30442100I have tome of magic, currently packed for a move, but I've largely ignored that part of the book for true naming and pact.
>>30441594Does social combat have damage types too?
>>30442446We should be able to at least use fire and acid for social combat.
>>30442446Social combat should incorporate this in some way.
>>30442446Social Combat is all maneuver based, though slaps are a viable tactic.Even if you whittle someone down to their composure, you can still lose the social combat in the eyes of those present.That will be in the big rules pastebin.Also.Side note.The NPC Jonathan Ward Chou has special bonus perks to social combat because he is voiced by Tim Curry, true fact.
>>30442715>Social Combat is all maneuver based,>slaps are a viable tactic.Tea Set to the Face, Yes or Yes?
>>30442197I've made a fair amount of use of Shadow and Truename, haven't had players take a strong interest in Pact for some reason, and I just haven't had the chance really play with it. Seems like it would be pretty interesting in play though.
>>30442715>Jonathan Ward Chou voiced by Tim CurryLike you needed to give me more reasons to be worried about him, now you've gone and given him ultimate power!
>>30442761At that point I think we'd get>Social Combat broken by Combat
>>30442833What, he's only a super reclusive billionaire who runs a company that actively plays by international tax and business law; and is responsible for extreme amounts of humanitarian aid all over the earth.Plus he is one of the driving forces of private space exploration, the only to be competitor to Space X; and he is providing support and resources for the UN Paranormal Activity Think Tank & several different nations' Paranormal Activity Task Forces.What does any of that have to do with his voice, what sounds like this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_d_tll47GM
>>30443332So basically, he's the equivalent of Devil Dinosaur from NEXTWAVE: Agents of H.A.T.E.?
>>30443548No. Devil Dinosaur tested weapons of mass destruction on the American Public to figure out the best way to rid the earth of chattering monkeys.Jonathan Ward Chou is a great humanitarian.
>>30443671Is that like a vegetarian?
>>30442853Good old MDV:Fist. But is that a good idea for a bunch of little girls?
>>30443745If it's soylent green, maybe it's both?
>>30443745>>30444046He doesn't eat people. Or their souls. Or their heart crystals. Or their star seeds. Or their dream mirrors. Or their energy. Or their youth. Or their displaced time. Or their shadows. Or their negative emotions. Or their positive emotions. Or their hopes. Or their dreams. Or their aspirations. Or any metaphorical manifestations of them.
>>30443332I just listened to all of that.it was glorious...I have no idea what I was doing now.
>>30444096Just their hair?
>>30444139Jonathan Ward Chou is not a headless horseman.
>>30444241Does he have a goatee and/or handlebar mustache?
>>30444241Their feet?
>>30444096The funny thing wound be if our innate distrust of a powerful and mysterious figure that seems to fund good works in the world and voiced by a glorious person really was unfounded.Come to think of it, I've played that character before, sans good voice (actually had a terrible voice as a drawback). Played the "Evil Mastermind" archetype as a force fore good operating by remote and through minions.I liked that character.
>>30444390Then again, this is Sailor Moon, the whole first half of R basically telegraphed the plot from both sides.
>>30444121I think I was going to ask if anyone could explain how Nehellenia's end worked in the anime.Turned into child, sent back to the past, vaporized, what?Just turned into a child would mean she could be around, sent back would imply history could be changed, vaporized with a flashback seems meaningless.. I always wondered about that one.
Tomorrow's logo is finished.Going to do some writing tonight to cut down tomorrow morning's work load. Then I'm going to donate a bunch of books to the library.I'd do more work on the spell paths...but I don't wanna.
Alright, back to the spells:So, I think we can agree to take the drop option.Probably losing Tiara Magic for now in favor of others. So that's three 2nd Level spells and one 1st Level.Gathered are ones I think we should consider.Shadow1 Camouflage>Large bonus to Stealth.Shadow2 Control Darkness and Shadows>What it says on the tin. Shadow-based fun and utility.Come on, we can't not get this one.Shadow2 Dark Bolt>Ranged Touch with good damage. Touches on the less-friendly aspects of Shadow.Psychic1 Demoralize>No HD limit area effecting debuff.Psychic1 Mind Thrust>Mind Bullets. Super effective.Psychic1 Force Screen >Invisible floating shield of force. Effective against intagible.I like this one, would be great for both our defense and help protect others in our arms.Psychic1 Inertial Armor>Invisible or glowing suit of weightless armor. Effective against intagible.Earth1 Entangle>Turns a decent sized area a good plant-based snare that grabs at people.>Cons: Probably needs plants.Earth1 Magic Rose>Going by the spell it is based on, enchants three roses to do 1d6+1 damage when thrown, with a 20ft range increment.Seems like a classic, but I can't help but wonder how we'll manage to have the roses on hand. Also, spell it is based on doesn't scale with level.Earth1 Hail of Roses>Affects an area, still uses your ranged attack roll, scales with level.>Cons: Base version requires component of moderate expense.Depending on what goes on with the component, I thing I'd like this on as our rose-based spell of choice, and use the knife for single-target hits.Earth1 Pass without Trace>Subjects cannot be tracked by non-magical means.Earth2 Restoration Lesser>Removes negative effects and restores some ability damage.Personally, I'd say this is a must-have for us. The ability to wipe away bad effects and get them moving again would be a huge boon for someone doing the sweep in and rescue/back-up gig.>cont
>>30447339Earth2 Locate Node>Locate nearby or known Node, a place of power.Not sure if we should take it, but the implications of Nodes being a thing are pretty interesting, and I'm more than a little curious as to how we'd interact with them in this system, though I'd imagine our Focus Attuned could play a part.Considering that Faerun had several flavors of Node (at least including Earth, Evil, and Shadoweave), beyond locating such a place for our own use, the possiblity of locating places of power where others are holed up could be a very useful idea.Senshi1 True Strike>+20 to next attack roll within the next round.Besides the obvious to-hit benefits, we have degrees of success to consider. Great spell if we want to hit really well with something -next- turn.If Artemis let us have a version that we could cast on other senshi, that would be pretty awesome. Though it may lead to people blushing a lot since that probably involves us holding them while they take the shot.Senshi2 Aid>Bonus to attack and against fear, plus a helping of temporary hitpoints.A solid spell for bolstering someone.Senshi2 Resist Energy>Good damage reduction against a chosen energy type.Good for seriously blunting a hazard or enemy attack, whether on ourself or another.Senshi2 Alter Self>More drastic alteration of our physical form. Would still need the Disguise Pen to alter outfits.Disguise to the next level.
>>30447339>>30447368The one I think we should take are at least Force Screen and Control Darkness and Shadows.Control Darkness and Shadows nets us a grab-bag of useful effects we could do.Force Screen was a tough choice, there are a lot of nifty level 1 spells, but it has a long duration and improves our survivability and ability to protect the others. Plus it gets our foot in the door for the Psychic path, which might open up more options or maybe even relationship interaction paths. (Psi/Shadow perhaps?)The other two level 2 spells I am less set on, but I lean toward those that make our support better, like Lesser Restoration and Resist Energy.
I say we should dump most of our sailor magic and invest in the shadow path primarily. I am also on board with picking up one of the psychic armor spells. For offense, I say we pick up the shadow bolt or crystal rain spell. I also vote that we maximize our acrobatic ability, as that combined with shadow magics should make us rather hard to pin down and hit.
1/?The call quality is terrible, the voice synthesizer your patron insists on using a complete waste of effort given the amount of static coming across over the connection. So much interference can't be a problem on your end, this is a secure land line routed as a separate set of wires laid parallel to the public lines as a corporate T3 connection.“Doctor Aurora. I am authorizing you to employ Formula S on subject 34. His upkeep and holding have exceeded our patience as far as his return on our investment. It is our hope that this will make him docile enough to be restrained and processed by our standard means.”“Are you certain, Master?” you loathe even entering cold storage where you keep the substance in question. The implications of the compound terrify you, even after all you have done and seen, “Certainly performing sedation and extraction by hand takes time compared to the automated systems...but we don't know yet how Formula S will affect the Neurological Pattern record & Spinal Fluid harvest quality,”“This is of no concern. Your reports state you need a larger total sample before you can begin synthesizing his power; and it is a power we desire for our operatives. Besides, he has been in your care for several weeks. Can you imagine the servitor you'll likely generate in this act, Doctor?”You shudder. You've seen these servitors. You've been present for their birth, and more you've seen the long term psychological affect on their hosts after their birth. However, the distorted and inconsistent voice frightens you. It always frightens you. The thought that your life could end because of this distant figure and no one would ever know the things you have given the world both relieves and terrifies you.
>>304497222/?"Yes, Master. The Shadow will fall," you tremble through the oath he gave you to use as his farewell. For all the backing he has provided, for the next decade you'll be able to work, and the wonders you have seen since beginning this project; you can't help but fear the man. You fear him, and his willingness to foster your near schizophrenic artistry. Lifting the needle to your neck, you silence those fears. You have to get ready for the blank canvases to be delivered today.You find the welding goggles amid the mess of your personal desk. That's the way you work. Comfortable in a mess by yourself, but fastidious whenever working directly with or surrounded by others. It is normal that you let none in your office. You send one of the assistants to cold storage for the formula, and he meets you outside of Subject 34's cell.It isn't hard to imagine that the other subjects are jealous of 34. He has a whole floor to himself. Special care is given him. Locked padded cuffs on chains instead of retractable cord on a pulley. No beeping instruments around him or glaring vital system monitors keeping him awake at all hours. You leave your electronics on the elevator on the far end of the floor in secure box. The assistant is there waiting for you with a cylinder of nearly glowing dark fluid and a rather mundane looking long needled syringe. You remove the key from the wall and proceed through the long and empty floor, drawing from the cylinder's porous cap with the needle.The iron door opens with some difficulty, the bio luminescent moss in the tanks along the room fills the room with a soft glow. You pull a heavy switch and activate the only electronic device in the cell, a large high intensity light at the back of the room. It hits Subject 34, who groans as he wakes. His shadow stretches across the floor to your feat.
>>304497623/?“Good afternoon, Jo,” you smile “How are you feeling today?”“Go to hell,” he says through unkempt mane and unshaven face.“That isn't very nice, Jo,”You advance, brandishing the syringe. He flinches on the floor and tries to back up as far as the chains will allow him. Relief washes over him as you halt halfway towards him and kneel. It turns to panic when you plunge the needle into the floor. Instead of braking the metal on concrete, it sinks into his shadow. Plunger depressed fully, you remove the device with a wet plop, the shadow stretching off the floor at your pull. Jo appears quite frightened, and it serves him well when his veins flush black and he begins to howl in pain.With a snap, his shadow wrenches from his feet. He goes still, listless and borderline catatonic. The fire of rebellion in his eyes dies quite conveniently as the shadow rises as a turbulent sphere before you. Delightful. Now Jo can be brought to the regular floor and loaded into the automated system without shutting down all the machines or freeing himself or anyone else. This will make your life a bit easier...even if the whole thing puts you ill at ease.Stretching and groaning before you, the shadow slowly adopts a humanoid shape. Details emerge out of the dark, and he appears as a creature of jet black body interlaced with subcutaneous chromium armor. The trim of the chrome runs with a red circuit pattern, that webs across the blackened portions of his...flesh. Beneath a helm that would look quite at home in a Toku era production of Rider.“So, what's your name?”<Gesen>There is an electric crackle and hum to his voice, you would liken it to an odd sort of off tone auto tune. Oh well, you begin to turn away to return to your other duties.
>>304497874/4“Good then. I'm sure we'll have some wonderful assignments for you. If you'll just follo-” you pause. Standing in the doorway is your master's preferred operative, Code Name Jewel Thief.He is clearly injured, and being dragged in his good arm by the scruff of his collar is a young man with white hair and a large bleeding gash on his forehead. The youth is dressed in white, and it is stained heavily with blood and dust.“Ah, Thief. Does this one require medical attention or wo-”“Formula S.” he hisses, “Our master will need this one's shadow extracted,”You look down at the cylinder and syringe in your hand.“Right now? I just used the needle, it's hardly sanitary,”“Spare me your humor, Aurora. Time matters. If he is missed, it could all for apart,”End Interlude.Next thread will be Monday Morning EST, sometime after breakfast.I hope we can all have fun.

>>30447368>>30447339Psychic2 Swarm of Crystal>Cone of unavoidable crystal shards. 3d4 damage, no attack roll, no save. Might scale, depending on how augmenting translates.Nice. I vote that the casting looks like a crystal rose breaking up and a hail of crystaline petals cast from out hand.Psychic2 Detect Hostile Intent>Detect those with hostile intent within 30 feet for 10min/level. Can't be caught flat-footed by beings with minds to detect. Can make Sense Motice checks as a free action against anyone in range.That's pretty handy.Psychic2 Body Equilibrium>Walk on water, webs, yarn, quicksand, etc. Half damage from falls.Psychic2 Concussion Blast>Gives target a solid force-effect thump (1d6), can hit them cleanly as long as they don't have total cover/concealment. No attack/save. May scale depending on augmentation handling.Also works on objects. Could be handy to score a hit on someone in a crowd or next to people we like in general.Psychic2 Id Insinuation>Confuses target and causes erratic behavior. Continues as long as we concentrate+1 round. Will negates. May scale to multiple targets or more difficult to resist.Geeze, Ahia is going to be a beast with this all this stuff. Good support spell for us to seriously disrupt an enemy.Psychic2 Inflict Pain>Inflicts Pain. -4 on rolls, -2 if they save.Ok, this one. Less messy that the hamstring and would effect their mental abilities as well.Moon2 Moonbeam>A cone of pale moonlight springs from your hand. That is about it.Fancy light and may cause lunar-triggered transformations.If this interacts with Moon Child and similar, this could be a seriously neat 2nd level spell to have. Otherwise, mainly good for show.Moon2 Serenity Judgement>In the name of the moon, we punish you. Calls on divine power to do scaling damage to a foe, 2d6 at current level. Will save for half.Decent damage, not as much as Darkbolt, but less creepy feeling. We will need snappy Moonisms or Tuxedoisms when casting.
>>30453605I was actually thinking they couldn't take the shadow of the earth if the earth were consumed by a sentient transgendered street, but that works too.
>>30449460We can only trade in one 1st level spell at this time, I believe.Agree that Acrobatics is on our must-up list.>>30447580>>30454114Will be interesting to see what tweaks are applied for the versions in Artemis' system, but at least have an idea of the baseline.So, I'd sayForce Screen for Tiara MagicControl Darkness and Shadows (I think with that interlude we should be even more set on that one)Lesser Restoration (I hate choosing between the heal/buffs, but it's ability to restore and remove could be vital)The third slot is still a wildcard for me, I think I have to agree with folks saying we should pick up an offensive ability. Trick is which.Darkbolt - Ranged touch attack, decent damage, touches on the dark side. 2d8Crystal Swarm - No attack, no save. (no margins for bonus damage or effects) Area effect. 3d4Hail of Roses - Ranged attack roll, area affect. 4d4. May need a focus.Concussion Blast - Only 1d6, but accurately strike target. May scale.Inflict Pain - Not damaging, but works better than our hamstring attack.Serenity Judgement - 2d6, base spell does double vs undead. Wouldn't be surprised if our version did similar against certain supernatural foes.Magic Rose - Temporarily enchant three roses to do 1d6+1 when thrown, going by the base spell.
>>30454352Oh also add:Moonlight - Not an attack, but if it triggers the Moon Child advantage, even if it didn't function on us as the caster, would be a huge benefit to Koyomi, and a pretty cool special effect for our being awesome.
>>30454412Moon Beam has some benefits when used on Senshi, if used on a Senshi empowered by the Moon, Please see your QM.Also remember, spells you want can also find a home in various spell storage devices.Be they certain magic objects or moon tech crystals. Something you may want to talk to Luna about later if there are more spells you still want.
>>30454467Indeed, we'll need to have a chat with Luna, she'll probably have questions for us too.Much to the chagrin of our personal offensive ability, I'll end up throwing my vote in for Moonlight.Keeps to our support-role, aids the girls spell use, and makes us look cool.
>>30454535I was going to suggest getting it stored in a sword so you can do this cool thing where you shine the light off your sword while it's reflected; but whatever you want to do.The official vote starts after I start the thread and lasts until I get back from dropping books off at the library
>>30454558Oh wow, I think thats an awesome idea. Gives us both a more effective weapon and it makes it so Moonlight doesn't take a spell slot.
>>30441298>>30441359A wizard did it.>>30445159Conservation of Causality.
>>30454654I don't know, something about keeping some moonlight within us is appealing to me.Even if drawn into the darkness, we still have light.What would an Eclipse be without Moonlight?Darkness.
>>30454558I was thinking about picking up one of the more offensive ones as an item.Utility all the time, offense with gear.
>>30454713>>30454757Alright, You've both convinced me!
So, on to Training discussion while Artemis preps the next thread?Also suggest we start using sage for this one so that it so it isn't near the top when the new drops.
>>30454883Oh, you guys can just let it fall after I link the new thread. I'll post in here with the new thread link after the first of the MANY posts long interlude and opening piece.Want to keep this up so everyone who is available but not here yet notices we're gearing up.
