Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Scorpiox]

"S'long as that doesn't change. We're humans. I don't believe in fate and don't follow the gods, but it's obvious enough we ain't meant to stick around."

The witch accepted the Level-Up Mushroom from the strange druid, looking over it briefly before taking a few bites out of it. The flavor was invigorating. Very much so. When he looked up again, the hall seemed to have changed. The colors swam and became more vibrant. The table expanded and grew though the heroes grouped around it didn't seem to notice. Atramor blinked a few times. The flame in Nyx's drink grew into a multicolored inferno even as the mage sipped casually from it. The blood wiped from Guts' nose seemed to float across the room. The strange druid had turned into a giant tree right in the middle of the hall while a raptor skittered around it repeatedly. McCafferey bawked loudly again - when he looked at the chicken, its beady black eyes showed a depth far beyond what had been there before. Entire countries he saw within...other planes of existence, even. All behind the guise of poultry.

The rogue found himself being carried downward by the hall's stairs, which had convenient started moving for him. Such nice stairs. They deserved better than being stepped on all the time by ungrateful heroes...he passed the Quest board, each notice and paper peeling off of it and whizzing aimlessly around him. He pulled the Pheles Rod off his back to clear them out of the way, but found only an angry-looking, spiked snake wrapped around his arm, venomous blue eyes staring at him as its matching tongue slithered in and out of its mouth with each cruel hiss. It lurched forward, sinking its fangs into his arm. Atramor felt no pain and saw no blood, yet could feel his strength being sapped away rapidly. He stumbled onto his knees, but the hall's floor still seemed to move as if he walked along them. He looked up to see a large, confused looking fox, its fur a brilliant copper in the torchlight, even as a dozen faceless dummies danced around it in a circle, each carrying a different weapon.

"Neat...," observed the witch, enthralled, before crumpling to the floor.

Sorry, but when I read your post I couldn't think about anything other than this movie:

I'm sure you can see why.

[Brickdoctor]

Know your audience, Brickdoctor!

I also made a Don Quixote reference in Quest 77, and no one appears to have gotten that either.

[CMP]

You can't upgrade armor, Peppermint_M, only shields.

[JimBee]

I'm really rolling it out with all the Mass Effect references over the last few days. Shame there's only one person to get them.

And he has missed them...

Some great stuff in the Hall regardless. That table is rocking!

Indeed.

I have always tried this with Boomingham. It makes roleplaying harder now that he's a little more introverted after 70, but I think its worth the challenge.

Tried which? Omniscient narrative or feelings/thoughts displayed through dialog and action?

[Zepher]

A third person narrator (present tense) who is privy to Boomingham's thoughts, but rarely shares them.

I thought that's what Barty's job was

[Duvors]

I thought that's what Barty's job was

It is, Barty is the one narrating it.

[Duvors]

In other news, the Order of the Crimson Crown has returned!

[The Legonater]

I'm really rolling it out with all the Mass Effect references over the last few days. Shame there's only one person to get them. HEY, if you like awesome (and got time), go play through the Mass Effect games.

I've been meaning to play Mass Effect for a long time now, but never got around to it.

[CMP]

That blue looks unsettling creepy, even for Hybros. I like it.

[Duvors]

I've noticed that what Sarge says when he's drunk is much more sensible then what he says when he isn't.

[Palathadric]

Because sometimes he's only drunk that he realizes he's drunk. Other times he's so far gone he doesn't realize it.

[Waterbrick Down]

"I'm a riot. Aoi walks into a bar. Bartender asks: Why so blue?"

My next quest is definitely going to feature a Eubric comedy club.

[Flipz]

Guts is going to kill Docken...unless somebody else gets to him first.

Wait, Nyx can use the Mod Rod, right...?

[Scorpiox]

Wait, Nyx can use the Mod Rod, right...?

I'm pretty sure that this is the case.

[Pyrovisionary]

I've noticed that what Sarge says when he's drunk is much more sensible then what he says when he isn't.

Really? Let's have an example then? I want to see how bad Sarge is Sober.

"Yer know when I lost me leg I was given a purple heart. Next time I 'm injured I wanna purple lung. I'm going to build me a purple person, and we will be best friends?!"

A cookie to anyone who can guess what this is a Directly stolen quote reference to?

Tarn grinned. "A Lucustoid walks into a bar, and the barman asks "Why the long face?"

A Grumpkin walks into a bar, and the barman asks "Why so down in the dumps?"

[Professor Flitwick]

A Witch walks into a bar. Dies.

[Rumble Strike]

A Ranger walks into a bar with a weregiraffe, which he leaves on the table. "You can't leave that lyin' there," says the barman. "It's not a lion, it's a weregiraffe", replies the Ranger.

[Brickdoctor]

A Warden walks into a bar. The barman sells him a Mead so he can get a temporary stat boost.

[Duvors]

A Blue Assassin walks into a bar, kills everyone.

[CMP]

A Mage and a Teuthisal walk into a bar. Only the Mage walks out.

[Endgame]

And another Endgame boss bites the dust! I suspect the quest will be over and done by tomorrow, 79ers. Maybe even today if we all go on at the same time.

[Palathadric]

A Mage and a Teuthisal walk into a bar. Only the Mage walks out.

[JimBee]

Sarge walks by a bar. It could happen.

Sorrow walks into a bar and orders a beer and a mop.
