I agree and second the name choice.

Two pluses as well.

One, it can be used more generally and people not always see it as a really loving relationship term of indearment.

Two, it kinda makes her seem, on a subconscious level, more dependent on us.

It's the difference between calling her "Shadow" and "My Shadow", the second has much more meaning behind it, even if we both know she is ours, just calling her our shadow does a lot more than just calling her shadow

I like that. It can be affectionate or passionate as needed.

Can we get a translation of 'little shadow'? That sounds kinda cute.

>>37454220

You close you eyes and open your mind to the Force. You expand your sphere of awareness, feeling out for Cael'la's signature and manage to hone in on it. You sense that it is.. sporadic... in flux like she is under stress. You suspect that she is currently in danger based off of this and you manage to get a good header.

"I found her, I think she may be fighting something."

Ordinarily you would expect a grudging willingness to help when it comes to Cael'la, however she seems uncertain of her own hesitation to help. You are uncertain if this is because she was willing to help fight the krayt dragon, because of her complimenting Nivah's improvements or... other interesting suspicions you have. Regardless your team is ready to move onward.

You choose to advance with caution, aiding Cael'la is important, however considering how competent she is as a warrior anything that could pose such a threat to her is nothing to be taken lightly. The tuk'ata leads with you not far behind. You sense that Cael'la is moving toward you rapidly, faster then you suspect she should ordinarily be able to move on her own, and as you cross over the final massive dune you can see why.

Cael'la's blades are dug into the side of a massive dune worm that she appears to be... essentially riding, though it looks more like thrashing about on top of. At this point it appears that she is simply hanging on for her life. Because you chose not to charge head first you have a moment to consider your next course of action.

With a thunderous clap of kinetic energy hitting the ground below you soar through the air, a terrible angel of death. Your blades sink keep into the carapace of the dune worm which shrieks in anguish. You have successfully landed and while you are being violently thrashed about by the worm's wriggling you manage to keep yourself stable enough to turn to Cael'la.

"I KNEW YOU ENJOYED RIDING WORMS BUT THIS IS A BIT RIDICULOUS."

While it's hard to tell with the wind your cybernetic eye is capable of seeing quite clearly that Cael'la has turned a deeper shade of blue and is trying unsuccessfully to stare you down with venom in her eyes.

It doesn't know how to roll. All it does is tunnel. any surface it's on, it assumes it is the ground, because it doesn't have ears which helps it find a sense of balance.

>>37455379
That are notably not already stabbing it somewhere vulnerable, how are you this stupid? We would need to climb on it using our blades, find somewhere vulnerable, and THEN stab it, all while it can very easily roll over and crush us or throw us off and run off into the sunset with our swords.

Stabbing your blades in allows you to have places to grip properly thus making it far easier to hang on.

Yes, why the fuck do you even need to ask that question? Of course it can fucking roll ontop of us faster than we can move about on it using our blades as icepicks while its moving about at full speed.

For real.

Seriously guys, we just tried to do something that would get a full fledged sith killed. Do you see what the title of this quest is? Do you remember where we're sleeping? WE'RE IN FUCKING SCHOOL! WE'RE STUDENTS!

Guys for real.

>>37455649
Hey mate, I didn't vote for that option but you don't see me being mad.
Maybe you should go lie down for a bit and calm down.

>>37455665
And you are the sound of a troll.

>>37455676
No, fuck these cunts who try to deliberately get us killed and then go "oh lol so faaneh guise"

>>37455676
Fucking this. Calm your tits everyone. Shit happens, and hopefully this gets everyone off the guts&blood train.

I like how only two posters have realized that you special retards just cost us the chance at the Dragon, let alone may have just ended the quest.

>>37455690
This is not 'shit happens', this is outright fucking sabotage and trolling and its blatant as hell.

>>37455690
>and hopefully this gets everyone off the guts&blood train.
It won't because they do nothing but try to ruin the quest and kill us.

Its a good time to implement some sort of Force Points system.

>>37455690
Shit happens especially when vote for the first option.

>>37455630
Yes that was stupid.

>>37455578

>0 Pass
>Critical Failure

You attempt to rip one of your blades from the back of the dune worm however as you do it thrashes violently and you cannot hold onto your second blade. You are thrown with a force that could kill a more fragile man, however Nivah uses the force to cushion your fall as best as she can. You hit the sand hard however, and your already injured arm is now screaming with pain. You're alive however and still armed. You take a moment to stand, stumbling and taking a moment to regain your senses before turning to Nivah whose face is struck with worry.

Guys, I understand and appreciate that you're so passionate about this that you're getting upset, but please try to take a breath and calm down. Sometimes we make dumb decisions because we're riding the hype train. Was that a smartest move? No. Would it have been fucking sweet had you succeeded? Hell yes. But it's done and can the quest is not over. Just breathe, take your vote, and fix it.

>>37455713
Like Fate points? Yeah we need that right now.

>>37455630
What the fuck did you think would happen? How could you think it would be anything less than a DC9 and virtually impossible?

>>37455697
I'm pretty butthurt about this too but I don't think it's sabotage. People make dumb decisions sometimes. It hurts but that's how things shake out. The only hope is that people recognize their folly and try and correct for next time.

Rule of cool does not apply to dice.

you huys do remember that we got bit while doing a "safe action" and even that got a crit fail so STFU already.

Just a tip Brine, but you might want to find alternative word choices when using similar phrases so close together.

>>37455844
We'll retrieve it when we kill this thing, then we need to make sure Cael'la has a beast head and we can head back, with this fight and our injuries we're pretty much done here.

>>37455844
We'll get it back when it's dead or incapacitated hopefully.

>>37455813
>As not buttmad as I am I doubt we're fighting the dragon as is. Our arm is royally fucked atm and killing this work is going to take more out of us.
Meh, depends. We can still try sticking at range and battering the thing with our pretty well developed Force Push while the pet and expendable close.

Speaking of developed Force Push - we ever gonna insert some more stats into this thing Brine? Once we have developed a bit more?

>>37455832
What are you, 12?

>>37455871
We are the heaviest hitter of our group, and we're left unable to melee effectively, we stand no chance at all against the dragon.

>>37455871
>Speaking of developed Force Push - we ever gonna insert some more stats into this thing Brine? Once we have developed a bit more?
Hmm. Give abilities ranks representing skill? Higher rank means more of an effect guaranteed without rolling.

>>37455862
Sorry, little fritzed out after a long day, I'll try to add some variation

>>37455888
I'm not sure that we are, the Chiss is pretty damn good as well and we can still use the force along with our better numbers. We can still do it.

>>37455888
>We are the heaviest hitter of our group, and we're left unable to melee effectively, we stand no chance at all against the dragon.
Lately, all our heavy hitting has been done with our force jump - and our main arm is still fine.

We have also shown some serious Push ability. Battering the thing could have good results - batter it as a group, then alternate between Pushs and people darting in to slash at it before darting back.

>>37455898
No worries bro, it's just a thing I tend to notice QM's do when your essentially publishing 1st and 2nd drafts, it comes with the nature of the questing medium.

Which requires both arms to land and to use properly.

>>37455910
Well yeah, but what happens if any of the other party members actually kill it? We are all Sith, so I'm willing to bet that there's be a scuffle about it at least.

What the nigger/Rodrick are you talking about?

- - - - - - - - - - - -
>>37455871
>>37455890

I was thinking of just having you guys get better as your training progresses, your connection to the force is naturally strong, however you are technically still in the earlier stages of your training.

If you guys want however I can come up with a skill point system that will allow you to give more focus and definition to the skills that you want to improve faster.

I was actually trying to determine how whether I should allow your skills to progress depending on what abilities you use more, like since you guys force jump so much just make it something you guys are baller at once you graduate, but that might give a better way to come to that decision.

What do you guys think?

>>37455953
If we want to do anything more than a gentle 3 point landing, we need both our hands to steady ourself, especially if we're jumping onto a fucking dragon, so go be a stupid armchair general elsewhere.

>>37455970
I rather like the idea of just developing the abilities we use more often - it encourages us to 'train' the abilities we like in our choices.

>>37455970
I think the issue is that we just don't know where we are at, we can't look to a label to see our progress, what we've got now seems to work, though it would help if we knew where we stood.

>>37455970
You should just let us decide what we want to focus on during time skips.

>>37455970
Doing it like Homeless Mutant Quest would probably be best.

Second vote

>Cushion her fall then decide what to do once she in on the ground
Or
>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37455970
If you do go that route, I'd be completely fine with it. But I do like the "Use ability = get better" system as well, as long as we have time to practice outside of combat instead of just experimenting. Either way, Im down, this is a cool quest.

>>37455995
I agree. We're playing a quest not a proper PnP rpg. A point system just makes it feel a little less organic.

>>37456019
>>Cushion her fall then decide what to do once she in on the ground

>>37456019
>>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37456019
>Cushion her fall then decide what to do once she in on the ground

>>37455970
I prefer the 'use = skill increase' system to skill points, makes it feel more organic or something.

>>37456019
>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37455964
Nivah will submit to us as will our new guy, the dog thing has no use for it. Only the Chiss woman, and if she has an issue with it she is now facing the rest of the group. We've staked our claim on the crystal.

>>37455981
>>so go be a stupid armchair general elsewhere.

Firstly, go fuck yourself. Secondly, why would we jump onto a fucking dragon? We don't need both our arms to force push and pull it around as was discussed earlier. Team effort in force pushing it around to batter it, and having people make quick strikes at it.

Or would you rather we all just go "Nope, one of us is a little hurt, time to go home and mope about missed opportunities?" This is a discussion, you attempted to outright state a fact, you were wrong. We can use the force to guide us in our jump, not that we'd jump onto a dragon.

>>37456019
>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37456019
>>Cushion her fall then decide what to do once she in on the ground

>>37456019
>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37455970
>>37455995
Yeah, I definitely like the "get better at what you actually use" aspect, maybe combined with some general development choices over time skips. I just mean for keeping track of our abilities. Some ranking might help.

>>37456019
>>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37456019
>>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37455995
This is a horrible idea. We use abilities suitable in situations. Improving this way would heavily bias us towards skills that have been useful in situations we face the most while leaving skills we may want to be able to use later weak just because we haven't gotten into situations where they would be useful yet.

>>37456044
>not that we'd jump onto a dragon.
Yet that's all everyone seems to vote for.

>>37456019
>>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37456019
>Cushion her fall then have everyone channel the force and try to lift this creature into the air together

>>37456064
Yeah we would need some way to train those skills we're not proficient at.

>>37456064
Look, its just a matter of balance. We have had one time skip already - development over the skips can have us select what we practiced over them. So we still see some general growth in various directions. Meanwhile, in "realtime" we improve as we use skills.

>>37456066
No... no one has. We've been fighting a worm. Talk of the dragon involved pulling and pushing it with the force, in an attempt to batter and daze it. Following that up with quick strikes from party members and pulling back out of harms way.

If you guys want I'll give you a kind of scale on where all of your abilities stand so you can grasp what is where so far as your abilities go

You would certainly be able to focus on certain aspects during downtime, like force abilities, strength, ect.

Our sith name can be Darth Umper.

>>37456113
Can we dump all our points into Force Lightning and go around throwing Samuel L. Jackson out of windows?

>>37456113
You could do what Feral Necromancer Quest does and award an amount of experience towards a skill when you critfail while using it.

>>37456113
the scale would help out a lot

also HMQ (from what I remember) uses the karma point system where if we screw something up we can spend a karma point to re-roll
someone correct me if I'm wrong I haven't actively followed it in a while

>>37456120
However, discussion on the dragon has been totally different, and will likely not result in force jumping after this fight considering we've seen how badly it can go against something this big and fierce.

>>37456135
>Can we dump all our points into Force Lightning and go around throwing Samuel L. Jackson out of windows?
No.

>>37456113
A note on the risk of using a system that levels skills up with use: It will mean we will use skills we want to get better at during encounters instead of trying to think the best way to go about it.

>>37456139
That is a terrible idea, it encourages stupid decisions and deliberate sabotage just to get xp from critfails. That would be abused massively and not be a good thing at all, its fucking stupid.

>>37456140

No, you're right.

Only for crit fails, though.

>>37456143
Bullshit, when has that ever stopped everyone from instantly forgetting their fuckups and bandwagoning the stupid idea immediately?

>>37456152
Yeah, it ends up with players trying to level up their skills and metagaming instead of acting in character, it can work, but it requires a very very careful controlling hand.

>>37456139
>hey guys, we need to level force lightning
>LETS CRIT FAIL EVERYTHING WITH FORCE LIGHTNING

What do you mean by this? There isn't really a way to control that in a way that still leaves meaning to the choices.

>>37456231
Yeah, we're a few thousand years ahead of his time.

>>37456223
There are plenty of ways to do that, most of them lie in the storytelling aspects of things to keep the players IC and to provide IC incentives for them remaining IC.

>>37456245
IC is a meaningless idea in something like quest because it means some choices are wrong, which means the QM is intentionally giving options that can't be chosen and then we're on railroad tracks and that's bad. Pretty much any action that isn't against the characters goals can be justified in some way.

>>37456231
>actually i dont think he has been born yet

>Implying the Jackson isn't a presence nonetheless.

>>37456245
It isn't necessarily OOC to choose a less strategic choice because you want to improve it though.

I think having most improvement occur doing some generalized training/time skips is the way to go, with improvement of skills in narrative being tacked on top of that working better. That way we can improve Force Manipulation without trying to mind fuck everyone we run into in the course of the narrative sections.

"CAEL'LA, PULL YOUR BLADE OUT OF THE WORM AND JUMP, WE'LL CUSHION YOUR FALL."

You nod to the others signaling to be ready and they nod in response. Cael'la manages to catch her footing and heave. The moment the blade is freed from the worm she is thrown by it's thrashings and you and the others channel the force to form a cushion for Cael'la. This one is much more effective than the one Nivah had to supply on the fly, and Cael'la manages to land on her feet.

"Alright now together let's try to lift this thing into the air!"

Cael'la looks at you as if you told her you were the Emperor's bastard son.

"Just do it this thing is going to come after us in a second!"

Nivah shouts in support. Cael'la merely nods and you all focus on the force in an attempt to life the gargantuan creature.

>>37456299
Because in the context it implies you have a strickly defined character that must act in a certain way. That doesn't mean that a PC can't have peronality traits but there will always have to be a level of uncertainty to justify the fact that there are 20 or so people voting on his action and no matter what they will not be consistent in the way the PC should act in a situation. This is actually the reason to why any quest featuring a pre-defined protagonist from a pre-defined series always ends up becoming a completely different character; maintaining a strict character, the kind that would force players to think IC, is silly and would cause the medium to lose the point.
