"Yes, I accept." She is pissed off that... GM: Ack. From Pyan: [Re: Actions] Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2018 05:32:35 +0000 (UTC) From: Hsingai Altaica Pyan practices his Eagle with Arawn and Corona, telling them a story in the bird's language. He asks Arawn fore help with the words he doesn't know yet. It's a dramatic tell of a hunt for a ferocious animal. He goes on about the terrible damage the beast was doing to the villages cultivations and the heated chases though he wilderness. It finally ends with the revealing that the beast was a over-sized rabbit. Corona seems to appreciate the tell of the terrible bunny more than Arawn does. More comments inlined with the reply below I was just gauging interests, so I know If I would be worth it converting Perilous lands stuff to YiffieMon. I'm currently running a PBEM with my Fience who has a phobia about writing Emails. She says she'lll accept what ever actions I give her but It's hard not knowing How she would like her character to act. I have to base it on my pass no gaming emails with her and her Blog to figure out what she likes. Thou she does say I'm doing a good job at it when she does respond, I wonder if she's just being polite.... Speaking of Fringeworthy where exactly are the damage tables you go on about/ Which edition and page? I can't find them in my collection but I didn't have time to reread the whole thing again. It funny I have no intrest in actual having sex but When ever I write I keep geting idea for interesting Romances and IF I don't write them out I get writers block. It disheartening when your novella turns into a 1 page short story because you had to remove the sex scenes. I like hard scifi is Fantasy garb. I like my technology sufficiently advanced that it is magic. That is like it when there is logical physics based reasons for the way magic works the way it does. For example how to do you fix a snorlax into pokeball. Changing his density isn't a problem but you still have conservation of mass/energy to deal with so How do you make i t light enough to carry? Well weight isn't based slowly on mass but also on how far down in a gravity well you are so to lighten it all you have to do is envest the energy to lift the object out of the gravity well until it's the desired weight. That leave you with just inertia but with out the drag heavy object are easy to move. I guess I'm just a math nerd. I find the bookwork relaxing and enjoyable. It's ether sex or deep philosophical issues with me and it's easier to find people that like thinking about new posible sexual experiences than it is to find people willing to question their core beliefs. :( ++++ My SpellJammer campaign won't start until this PBEM ampaign ends. I don't have enough mental energy to try to come up with things for Pyan to do and run two PBEM c ampaigns of my own. I have noting specifically setup for the PBEM yet. But I have I Wiki for my Variant of PnP YiffieMon Wiki I've been active rejiggering the character advancement to be more in l ine with your house rules an my changes to the Vitality system. YiffieMon Wiki Gotta yiff a YiffieMon! Welcome to the unofficial home of the YiffieMon RPG system and Campaign settings. New to... GM: Ack. Corona enjoys the story and will add a D10 of experience for the effort. Glad you'd share that with the eagle. For your Fiance I'd let her study other pbems. Show its not a scary place. If she doesn't like emails say what we say its a Post not a email. A Post to a mailing list is technically NOT a email. Email is implied to be private to private. A mailing list or a forumn is public thus its a post like facebook. So if she does FB she can handle it. :) Can explain it that way. Just a suggestion. As to tables I'd have to find. Keep in mind this is the original 1980 1st edition book. There have been 3 more I believe. The current is a d10 based system. For the 1st ed I typed up the entire book - well 90%? 95%? of it up into a text file and did the entire set of tables into old programs I wrote. Unsure if they work on modern pcs but I can find them if so desire. I have files on this pc. Looks like the document I did is 1000 lines. Probably not the entire books like all the charts but the core stuff. I've not read the file in a couple decades. :) The programs still work on win98. I'll see if I can test them on my win7 machine when I can and do screen capture of the charts if I can. Programs made in basic. Way back in 80s. Stay tuned. But yeah if you are looking at older versions it may be gone. Dunno. As to sex stuff most pbems do it hardly or ignore it. In this pbem I actually have a budding romance going on. Its behind scenes IBT stuff. But it adds spice. Its hard to do such without lengthy round robin stuff. Table top or voice chat is best for such like a recent Greyhawk game I listen to on Twitch had 2 folks in a simple romance scene. It was very nice to watch te guy and gal on screen talking and speaking like a true movie. Many players are too shy for such. Other stuff are good points. Scifi tech is fine but it can be like magic a easy way out. I point my Super-Gadget and stop that asteroid from hitting the planet. Ho hum. Techno babble as they call it. Just can bog it down if done poorly. Write whatever suits you best. Keep in mind not all players enjoy X or Y. As to talk at table about some date/romance other players are bored to tears. Its a hard balance. As long as we delay things like this treasure hunt it will take longer. This is a simple random encounter so if we react to such things it will increase the end date. So when this ends who knows. As I said though I'll put it for a vote then on the future next year. Wonder if I should add a Wiki. I dunno. Maybe one day. From Dorhak: [Re: Actions] Dorhak is somewhat concerned over the events after... GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Apris 10th, 1636TH] [Time: Earlier after Fremea is healed.] Dorhak is somewhat concerned over the events after the giant's rather warm demise. Everybody trying to run off and get themselves killed. And then there was the other incident. The one that had to be dealt with. Dorhak goes to Fremea after she gets back and tells her "Lass. You’re a creature of the air, not the sea. You almost ended up as fish food. Next time, maybe you should be a bit less impetuous. Whatever treasure there might have been is a pittance compared to the treasure you are." After the work parties get started, Captain Dorhak sees about helping with any woodwork there is to be done. His efforts won’t look pretty, but maybe they will be enough to get this wounded tub to the next port. [Time: 6:28 pm] The mermaids stare at Fremea. Waiting for an answer. Fremea glances over at the others and Arawn. It is clear he is confused why he isn't asked for the favor. Letting her do this favor could actually be far more damage on a human's mind than helping these 2 mermaids. Unless there is a large population of them. Then again a flying demong-thing, as humans tend to see Fremea, flying around works as well for a good scare. Fremea smiles at the thought of having some fun on a whole village. "Yes, I accept." She is pissed off that she could not quite reach the giant all the way, her swimming skills are not as well practiced and she will have to get better. Fremea asks for a few minutes to get ready. THe mermaids agree OF course the summoned creatures may go before then if the spell ends. Unless they choose to be here until the favor is done then it will delay that duration. Fremea waves over Kiet and begins to whisper to him asking him a few questions. Kiet chuckles at the comments and ideas. While Kiet and Fremea talk the second mermaid dives after getting a signal from the first. [Time: 6:35 pm] When Fremea leaves Dorhak figures this is the time to act on the situation. When the first mate has finished her rest from being 'pronged' by the trident, Dorhak asks that she join him in his cabin. "Shut the door" he tells her, then sits down. "Z'leyra. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were just confused after you near death. But you cannot countermand the orders of your Captain on this ship. I ordered the ship away from that monstrosity and you shouted out an order to stop. It’s not your place. It’s literal mutiny. Before we left port, you promised to follow my orders on this trip. I was careful to make sure I got that promise from you since you are the senior member of this crazy group." Dorhak sighs and shakes his head. Then he looks at her with a very determined face and quietly says "Don’t do it again. Or it will be considered mutiny and the penalty won’t be withheld." Before she can get a word out he says "Dismissed!" After she leaves he sits there wondering how he would ever impose such a punishment, knowing in the end that it wasn’t bloody likely. [Time: 6:38 pm] Kiet listens to the plan and agrees. He casts a personal illusion on Fremea to change her into a mermaid. Fremea wipes her hair away to display her assets to the men of the village. While she is small for a mermaid she will look the part. Fremea then hovers over the last mermaid as the second is gone. The mermaid stares at the hovering wingless sister. She frowns and Fremea explains the short plan but suggests they move. The mermaid nods and points in a direction and they both move in water and in air toward the bay. Eventually the mermaid listens to the plan and quietly agrees. She rather not have a person of her kind involved but it may be a good way to scare the humans. The second mermaid arrives with a leather bag and yells for Fremea to grab it. Fremea grabs it and looks inside. She frowns and smiles at the same time. The first mermaid explains her own plan parts. Fremea agrees and they move to the bay which is actually abut 2 miles east of ship. Flying high over the trees Fremea carries the bag and spots the village. A very small sleepy fishing village at most the size of 100 or 150? The docks are very small and at the exit of a small stream that goes inland. Fremea flies toward the single small boat and finds two men on board. They are hauling in fish and placing in barrels. Fremea flies further on toward a few buildings with folks around the street in a very small market. Still hovering in mermaid form she yells out in Faerry a battle howl. A dozen or so folks, about 9 adults and 3 kids, turn and stare. A female in her early 20s screams at seeing Fremea. "Flying Fish lady!" One male says or at least that is what Fremea thinks he said in Bhamotin as she doesn't know the language fully. Fremea speaks slow enough to ensure her Bhamotin words are understood. "You will hear me now! You will all stop over fishing in this area. You are too small a village to need more than you collect!!" "Get the hunters! Shoot it down!" "Keep the kids safe!" Fremea continues, "you will also stop polluting the stream with your village wastes!" The villagers look confused. "Putting your wastes in the water!" She figures the simple folk don't understand pollution. It has the sea and the fish!" Fremea spots a older man raising a bow and reaching for a arrow in his quiver. Fremea gets within 40 feet of him and continues, "Otherwise you will be eating..." She speaks the words in her own native tongue and casts a spell on the old man. Suddenly the man is transmuted into a large fish. "..Until there is none of you left!" The females all begin to scream or scamper away hold` the kids. Fremea selects a second adult male in his 30s who is hiding behind a wagon. She casts the spell on him and he becomes a large flapping fish out of water. "If you do not agree! We will send our friend the large sea giant to this village and eat you all!" With that she opens the bag and dumps the contents out. Two human male heads roll out and roll on the dirt ground. The females scream and run away one old lady forgets the two kids she was holding. Fremea was told the mermaid found them in the lair of the giant probably some recent kills. One is in fair shape but the other looks to be half decayed of maybe 3-4 weeks. A man rushes to get the first fish to place it in a barrel of water to survive. Someone exits a small building and yells out! "We agree! Will slow down our fishing!" Fremea nods the plan wasn't to stop it all together but to simply slow it down. The mermaids know if all fish is collected they'll be hunted. So the fish is a good barrier. Fremea notices one boy around 8 stares at her but does not seem worried at all. She flies toward him but the female holding him jerks the kid back. "I like your wings." The boy said and Fremea figures the boy sees through her illusion. Fremea flies to the old man who was the town spokesman. She stares at the man. "Eyes up here!" You better heed our words or no one will be alive here soon!" Even under threat of death why do men stare at the naked female body! Fremea shakes her head as she takes to the air a flying mermaid. She soon finds the mermaids and tells the results. "Fine. We shall see if it happens. We could take the village but it would cause a avalanche of attacks on us." They begin to swim away. "We will show you the lair." The mermaids dive and swim fast but Fremea keeps watch. They pass the ship and head further out to sea a couple miles. One mermaid surfaces and says, "below here is the lair. Where we got the heads. It is around 400 feet for you land walkers. We said we'd show you where it was not how to get there." Fremea asks how they can find it again. The mermaid says when the ship gets near she will send a water funnel to mark the spot. Then they both submerge. Fremea was always aware of the giant's body so returns to the ship. [Time: 6:55 pm] Fremea returns to the ship and explains her findings. Arawn frowns. They won't help them get to the lair? I guess that is their problem now. Actions? Comments? Next Update...Thursday/Fri/Sat? GM: I wanted to do the scaring of village far more than above. But a storm is in area and wanted to end this update and not delay it another day. So sorry its short and not so detailed. I also messed up the alignment a bit but no time to fix. I am unsure if off Fri yet so I may try next update Thur or Fri (if off) or Saturday. But getting this out for now. Now what's the plan to get to the giant body (the sharks are still around) and the lair? We have a storm in area so this may affect any future updates later this week.
