What Has to Be

So now the session is over and everyone with the obvious exception of Violet is in the right position. Well, PB works so what more can be expected. Well actually I can skip him forward just so we can continue as quickly as possible. But for this to happen some decisions needs to be made. But also, I want some reviews of this session and its style.

So, what did YOU like the sessions style?

I myself liked this even though it misses some things but it’s good for “mean time activities” if you know what I mean. Like downtime for groups where people are doing stuff put actually nothing in particular is happening. You live your life and aren’t adventuring and doing your job. This way you can perform and build up your character in a more substantial way without always grouping. You build up a reputation; you work like people do even if your work is a little bit odd. And the downtime where nothing happens is a little less… boring. You build up more around your character and are actually able to achieve something too.

Well it lacks the details of the more ingoing play style and the social depth is a little bit more shallow, but generally I think it’s great to do like this in non important relatively regular situations when you play a more casual style where you doesn’t have something really serious, eventful and dangerous ongoing. It’s called, a life, in some terms. To widen your characters social depth and actually try to live according to the worlds possibilities and explore in a more indirect and perspicuous way. Well, anyway; I see a lot of possibilities with this style, especially with city adventuring where nothing much happens and every day-to-day activity would just be simply boring. The most important thing with this style right now though is; it brings a sense of progression and some thing happens.

Well, what is your opinion did you like this style and what are your thoughts about it? I would appreciate all kind of comments on this matter.

Lastly to this subject I want to add that before, when I used the style that this is based on I used SP to motivate quick solutions. I.e. if you solve this goal in one session you will get 200 SP and so on. I think I’ll use it next time I bring up this technique.

Well over to PB; to be able to play again on Monday or Tuesday we must decide some things to get you to your ‘end-station’ so to speak. So I’ll be straight and give you some alternatives.

Maginator Tergan has an idea on how to pursue this matter more directly. This though requires for him to know the details about the artefacts and their use. Your choice here is the following;
Let him in on the secret of the Four Temples you’ve been exploring an the mysteries behind it.
Refuse to give him more details and just have him examining the three objects thoroughly.
Lie to him and mislead him and just use him for your own selfish purposes by shrouding the truth in lies to make him believe that you’re doing something completely different than opening a really dangerous temple that seems to be guarding something really powerful and mystical beyond your imagination.

If you chose to in any way include him by lying or telling him, he might be a more recurring NPC than he will be otherwise. It will also fund the future of the Macabre Timeline with Magun’s money. This will fulfil two of the goals you were given if you choose him.

In your search for the Fakir in question you need to solve the riddles. But you have practically solved them, and the last one is something that your character would be able to do without too much of a hassle. The question now though is that this master of tales, and stories, will require a sacrifice from you which he explains is a part of your soul. I will tell you more about this mystical character later. What the master asks for is not evil, nor abominable. But it’s very uncommon and a very big sacrifice. Giving up a part of your soul to this master is the price to hear his tales, and he knows all of Taraiens tales, or so he claims. He will for that price answer three questions or tell you three stories. You can mix it, but you can only ask him for three things and only once since taking another part of your soul is forbidden.

So what three things do you ask for?

Well, questions as well as opinions and thoughts are appreciated if posted here.
