Topic: Return to Charadun - Q&A
Subject: Nor's view of the battle.


Standing vigil was nothing new.


Hours, turned to days, turned to months, stretching into years and decades. Comprehending the Grand Vision wasn't somthing that happened with any sort of immediacy. The place of every Khord in this world was not something one takes in at a glance. Understanding it is, in and of itself, a journey.


Hammer and shield. Familiar to the touch, even if he didn't bear the weight as easily as he had in the past. Perhaps his grip was tighter than it should be. What of it? There was little else he could do at this moment, so he gripped his weapon, hefted his shield, and watched.


They were tiring, his fellow Khords. Days of hard travel. Too long without rest. The last leg at a feverish pace, racing to prevent a tragedy.


It would normally be the work of moments to restore them. Kharox gave his blessing freely when one had true faith. And so Nor had called to him. Called to restore wounds. Called to quench flames. Called and called again. But even Kharox's generosity has limits. Though his Vision is boundless, his patience is not. No more calls would be answerd this day. It was its own kind of test: to keep the faith while things went to pieces around you. While you were powerless to stop it.


He longed to step forward. To offer his shield arm to his companions. To rain hammerblows against those who would devour his brethren. To be a part of things.


He glanced back over his shoulder, then returned his attention to the battle.


He had to stand vigil.


If he were honest with himself, there was little he could do to help. No stranger to a fight, or even a skirmish. But his place was not at the front, ending the threat to his people. He was needed right here. A wall between the Khords and the danger that so readily tried to consume them. Even him fulfilling that role would likely cost him his life.


A part of him raged. A small, prideful, awful part of him, decried the whole battle. He shouldn't be here like this. Exhausted, drained, and (most pettily) hungry. No prolonged engagement, but a glorious route, with him in the center, shouting the glory of Kharox. Breaking their ranks as the sun rose, the avenging hero.


Who had been unable to avert a tragedy.


Another one free. Another step closer. He should be out with them. Finding either peace, or redemption. But duty, as it should, won out.


He had to stand vigil.

Hey everyone. Sorry I've been gone. Middle of quarantine, and I lost my job. Might lose internet soon. So I'm gonna have to bow out of the game. Gotta focus on job hunting. Good thing so many people are hiring during a global pandemic, yeah?


 


Hope the game goes well, you guys.

Subject: Who could have seen this coming?


Fox moved with a renewed sense of purpose as he followed the captain's order to convene at the lift. From the sound of things, it was probably starting to sink in with the others how wrong the whole situation was, one way or another. Meeting with Wyatt and Alex, he began helping them clear the ship, simply happy to be doing something to address his concerns.

Good posts so far. I'll work on mine after work the next few days. Worst case scenario, I'll push it out Mon/Tue, my next days off.

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA
Subject: Full disclosure.


I'm not sure where evernone is on the ship. I'm not sure who is with who. I'm not sure the exact details of the plan, or what my character can do to help.


 


With that in mind, my post is up.

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Further down the rabbit hole.


I still have a bad feeling about this.


 


Fox made his way to follow Pop's orders. He only knew enough about engineering to be slightly more useful than the paint in the air, but damned if he wouldn't do what he could. Guiding Wolf to where he needed to be was well within his abilities.


 


He couldn't help but think to himself, as he glided along in silence, about his comments prior to boarding. Apparently, there was someone here to save. Fox was expecting quite the conversation when they made it back.


 


Still, he maintained his stance. At the time, he hadn't known. And the odds of this exact situation were astonmical. If he'd known there was someone here, of course he would have been more willing to risk it.


 


That's what he kept telling himself. He hoped it was true, too.

Sorry I've been scarce. Retail during Christmas rush is maddening and tiring.


 


I'll have a post up Monday, as its my only day off (Not counting Christmas Day). Feel free to send me PM's about how bad I am at posting until such time as I post.

What a state its in, as well. I must confess, I'm not sure what to do. Ideas, Ody?

And that's the price of opening your mouth. Apparently people (and Pops specifically) didn't care for his previous objections. Fair enough. He could not care about their not caring right back. So there.


 


Still, he followed Pops and Wolf. Fox wouldn't know what use he'd be until they saw the problem. But one thing he refused to be was useless.


 


Another thing he refused to be was ignored, but that could wait until after they were off this damn ghost-ship.

Topic: Outer Worlds
Subject: Outer Worlds


If anyone has the means of picking up this video game, I highly reccomend it. One of the more flexible examples I've seen in years. Lots of choices for playstyles. And a good, solid Firefly feel to it.


Also, none of the usual b.s. that comes with most games these days. No DLC, season passes, lootboxes, or other assorted crap. Just a great game, sold all at once, in actual working condition.


So yeah, to sum up, if you enjoy rpg's, and can lay hands on Outer Worlds, absolutely check it out.

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Underwhelming


Fox's first impression was that he'd expected more. He didn't know why. He'd been the one arguing for an abandoned ship, and here was an abandoned ship. But he still had, for some reason. The only notable thing about the space was the dust.


 


No cargo. Likely no payout. He was sure all they'd fine here was vaccum and ghosts.


 


He looked around, staying out of the way so Pops and Wolf could do their job. Having nothing better to do, he began exploring the limited space they had. Never know until you know.


 


(((Search the room. Knowledge (info?) checks on the dust.)))

Since we're using this, do we need to worry about material/verbal/somatic components?
