#its only really One thats out there and its during the bloodbath/one of the first deaths

[marblerose-rue]

OK i have a rough draft for all cats and i keep looking over at the simulation and i thiiink im gonna change around the alliances but i will not change deaths/who kills who. even if some of the deaths are a little Impossible

[crescentmoonrider]

Score 1 for correct guesses! I love this au of yours! I'm laughing @ Josh being bad at his elf disguise like "earrings are pretty tho" a+. In the earlier comic where Neku dies I'm guessing he comes back because of that life magic Josh hates using (but if it's not using it or saving Neku there's only really 1 choice to take)? Also that pretty shikieri is good shit, how did they meet? & ice: Konishi, war: megumi or sho, death: Uzuki? (Ice/death maybe switched but Konishi has an ice theme in game)

congrats !! also thanks !!

yeah Josh and his earrings are 1 part ‘well theyre pretty’ and 2 parts ‘well man im kind of godly so fuck that i wear what i want’ (Josh no) (Josh that’s not how disquises work)

[the comic] yup Neku is resurrected by Josh’s hated life magic. gets them im trouble with a certain red-haired Reaper bc resurrection is forbidden magic, but thankfully they’re under protection from a god so it’s all good in the end

(to be more exact, Hanekoma steps in like ‘nope not happening no one is getting punished here’ mostly to save Neku but also to hide the fact that Josh can not, in fact, be ended by a Reaper)

during that same fight, Josh kind of really flips his shit and basically makes a bloodbath, which isn’t really a problem for him usually, but he doesn’t just use his space magic for it. and killing people with life magic, while really effective, has pretty heavy consequences on the user

shikieri is best, so obviously i couldn’t pass up that opportunity

how did they meet you ask… well, Eri is a treasure hunter, and one day while fishing for information in a tavern, she meets this pretty and smiling and mysterious lady who shows her a ring and tells Eri she found it near Misa river and like, she’s pretty sure there’s more

she ends up giving the ring to Eri while kind of sending her on a quest for treasure

and Eri does find treasure near Misa river, but more importantly she finds Shiki, shy and awkward and incredibly cute metamorph, and they become friends. and when Eri learns that Shiki is on her own there shes like ‘no that wont do youre coming with me’ and Shiki does come with Eri and they hunt for treasure together and own a little cottage in the woods of Saku and are very gay the end

or like. the begining

(meanwhile the goddess of Love smiles happily after having guided people towards each other once again)

annnndddd its quiz time !

Ice - Konishithats correct !! Konishi is the ambitious goddess of Ice, whose goal is to seize power and use earth ressources for the gods. she has big temples all over Shibu, and quite a lot of priestesses (she only allows women to directly serve in her temples. anyone can learn magic there tho). she also has some powerful allies, for example the twin dragon gods of Fire and Destructionto her, Shibu is the first bastion she needs to conquer

War - Megumicorrect again !! Kitaniji is a very tired god of War. he has a lot of work outside of Shibu, so when he finds the time to rest he goes there. during the first godly war, he was one of the main reasons Life’s side won, though he lost his sight during the fight. (there are some who say he gave up his sight willingly to stop seeing the horrors done in his name) he can smell trouble coming, and wishes Josh would help as Life did in Its timeto him, Shibu is a place to rest, and a place he wants to protect with all his heart

Death - Uzukithis one is wrong, sorry !! but Death is a very hard one on purpose, so don’t give up !! for your trouble (and since you got 2 out of 3 right) ill give you Uzuki

Ice priestess - UzukiUzuki is a terribly powerful Ice priestess. she might not be the highest ranked of her temple, but she sure as hell is the strongest when it comes to magic. when she isn’t perfoming her duties, she hangs out with some lazyass who is always late (takes after his mom he says) and likes to gamble. she cant even remember how they met. probably at Ramen-Donshe really wants to make high-priestess and serve her goddess as well as she can

NA LCS Week 3 Power Rankings (Unfinished)

For this week Im gonna change things up a little bit making the list and recap as more of a power ranking as well as a week in a review.  So its week three and now teams are starting to fit into place a little more and the standings are not as sporadic as the first two weeks. These are the following places I personally think look the worst and best this summer, in that order.  

10- Team Liquid (1-5)

This week

Team Liquid vs Immortals

Loss - Win

Team Liquid vs TSM

Loss - Win

Team Liquid still dont look good, at all.  They dont seem to have a grasp on team fights or map control with teams being able to roll over them pretty easy.  They had some minor sucsess in the games with TSM but like most teams this summer they cant end the game, TSM catch them out and come back to close the game.

9- Phoenix1 (0-6)

This week

Phoenix1 vs Team Dignitas

Loss - Win

Phoenix1 vs Counter Logic Gaming

Loss - Win

Phoenix1 is in a really bad spot no one wants to go into week 3 without a single win, especailly the 3rd place team from last split. We saw shifts in the roaster this week with MikeYeung in the Jungle and later in the week Xpecial to the support role. I have to say during the game against CLG they looked much stronger then they have all split with even Ryu and Zig playing much better. Im really glad they centered on the issues they had and I think next week we will see them get their first win of the split.

8- Flyquest (1-5)

This week

Flyquest vs Counter Logic Gaming

Loss - Win

Flyquest vs Cloud 9

Loss - Win

I personally love watching flyquest, usually because of the unexpected nature of all the players. That paired with Hai's unconventional shotcalling always make for a very entertaining game of league of legends.  Unfortunatly this type of play doesnt make for very many wins, at least not for flyquest this split.  There are alot of reasons why flyquest arent sucseeding this split compared to last, in the end a large part is just performance, as well as the meta shifting far away from the playstyle from last split. I dont think they will move much from this spot but maybe we will see them somewhere else next week.

7- Team Envy (3-3)

This week

Team Envy vs Echo Fox

Loss - Win

Team Envy vs TSM

Loss - Win

This week Envy's chance to prove themselves as a contender for a high spot on this list espcially in the game agaisnt TSM. I issue i have with Envy right now isnt that they lost to TSM, it wasnt really expected of them, but its how they lost that worries me that this team was overhyped in the first 2 weeks. Game one was a 14-1 bloodbath and game two showed them throwing a lead and giving the game to TSM. I think this team does have potential to be better then 7th place on this list but i dont seem them being a top contender this split without large changes.

6- Echo Fox (3-3)

This week

Echo Fox vs Team Envy

Win - Loss

Echo Fox vs Team Dignitas

Loss - Win

It seems like teams in NA cant close games, Echo fox proved that by being unable to close a game with a 11k gold lead, yeah it hurt to watch. I really do think this team has amazing potential to be amazing, a strong contender in Summer but thats only if they continue to dominate the early game and learn to close the late game.

5- Cloud 9 (3-3)

This week

Cloud 9 vs Immortals

Loss - Win

Cloud 9 vs Flyquest

Win - Loss

Cloud 9 this split look like a different team and thats not for the better, they seem to not be as in control of the games as they once were. For the team being im putting them at 5th, but with them playing Dignitas next week they might be bumped up, or even bumped down.

4- Team Dignitas (5-1)

This week

Team Dignitas vs Phoenix1

Win - Loss

Team Dignitas vs Echo Fox

Win - Loss

Dignitas has a massive amount of talent and that talents name is Ssumday. He is a player that is thriving in this meta and seems to be the primary playmaker in most of these games. If make the long haul maybe we will be seeing them on the big stage in Boston this Semptember.

3- Immortals (5-1)

This week

Immortals vs Team Liquid

Win - Loss

Immortals vs Cloud 9

Win - Loss

Immortals looks solid and its clear that their early wins in the season werent a

2- Team Solo Mid (4-2)

This week

TSM vs Team Liquid

Win - Loss

TSM vs Team Envy

Win - Loss

1- Counter logic gaming (5-1)

This week

CLG vs Flyquest

Win - Loss

CLG vs Team Envy

Win - Loss

NEVERMIND- where the plot was replaced by a chicken

Everything, more or less, that happened in the last adventure in 90lbs FineCoal was retconned. 

I’m not sure why though, I’m pretty sure he wanted these things to happen later and but the parties antics screwed up the time table, but what I do know is that the dm of OfficialEvent was just eating up the utter chaos that ensued. “Now you know what it feels like!” he exclaimed quite joyously at one point.

So, what the event was replaced with was this:

-a town meeting meeting but not mandatory, rather than outlawing this that and the other it was just a royal decree that that a curfew would be put in place starting at the end of the week, giving enough time for everyone to make arrangements to comply with that. 

---what about people who work late? they better call a cab or their employer better have a room set a side for people to crash in until the morning/designated time

---what if you are a cab driver? you’ll have a licence to be out late which will be checked and you better have it.

---what is all of this for? because the party and also their rival gang have blown up A LOT of things, nobody knows it was us for sure but thats probably part of the problem. we’ve had lots of opportunity to have stealth missions but so far have turned all of them into a bloodbath, turns out that has repercussions. and also i guess those feral children that we released from a textile mill we never did go round them up. so who knows what they got up to

after the meeting bruce the cabby came up to the party and asked us to do him a favor: get schematics for a ‘battle wagon’ and bring them to him. He told us where to go- some sort of  wainwright factory? and we were hoping for a smash and grab but the dude we met at the who I’m pretty sure was a templar? I never saw the insignia that the party leader was shown so I only have the reaction she gave when she saw it. but I’m like, 99% sure based on that, and also the fact that they knew a bunch of stuff they had no reason to know.

once the party leader realized that the people we were dealing with were out of our league they tried a different approach.

“we want schematics for a battle wagon, how can we make this happen?”,very civilized and straight forward, novel for us. 

the probably templar gave us these choices: buy it for 400 coppers, buy it for 100 coppers and the deed to some land we stole from another gang, buy it for the deed and manual labor assistance when they build... whatever they are going to build there.

mind you- my character didn’t go to the town meeting and probably didn’t go to this either, Hugo stayed home and worked on gathering supplies and materials for the various things everyone wants to do but cant because I have yet to build the things they need so I probably should have stayed quiet, and mostly I did, but when the party leaders player asked the group for thoughts out of character I chimed in a bit.

mostly nobody wanted to take part of any of it beyond, A- steal it anyway even though BAD IDEA, or B- do other jobs and get the money to pay for it because the deed is probably worth more than this offer for some reason.

however some of us reasoned that if they really wanted that deed they would get it and maybe we shouldnt make an enemy of these guys just yet. 

the leader reasoned we should take the third offer- help build the thing the templars want to build and pay nothing, because were poor and need money to survive. 

the one handed girls player complained about the disussion because none of it mattered, that faction was getting the deed no matter what so why bother discusing? this interaction was meaningless and served only to fix something the dm did wrong. I think he was just being a weenie because his character wasnt getting any spotlight and he and the dm had gotten into an argument earlier that day or something. He didn’t really have a preference to which offer we took just was salty in general about everything and seemed to really want everyone to know he wasn’t into any of this.

I agreed with the party leader: we should take the third offer, but for different reasons, if we help build the thing we’ll know more about it. well have seen the blue prints have walked the rooms and hallways and that should give us a pretty good idea about what its for and how to get in and out later. the gnome/new guy agreed.

the one handed girl player, argued? but wasnt really arguing? they were just restating what I said but really passive aggressively? as if what I said was wrong and different from what they were saying? but it was the same thing? I dunno, dude was just being a weenie I think because he didn’t think of that first? but also kept saying how this whole thing was pointless and dumb? but party leader is a face character they pretty much were built for healing and talking, they can fight but thats not what theyre good at so... come on let them have some action.

I dunno if the party leader or anyone else heard any of this exchange but either way, thats what the offer we took. it was descided that the two characters whos players dont show up because they dont like these rules loose games will be doing the construction mostly. the rubble from that property would be delivered to the cabin within the week because they dont want it anyway and we were going gather it off screen ourselves anyway to build shit with.

after, the gnome and... jamie? went to sneak into a casino to rob the place, but it didn’t really go down like that. gnome got on jamies shoulders and I gave them one of hugos long coats so they looked like one normal sized but terribly proportioned person and they went off. which begs the question, what IS jamie? we just don’t know.

they learned the layout of the first (slots and roulette), second (cards ad dice) and seventh floors of the casino and discovered that floor seven had dog fighting.... which lead to the gnome- who had his ears cut much like elves do- arranging an agreement for a child to fight the dog champion Mama Fluffy, win or loose payment would be given to jamie to bring back to the party (there was concern that gnome might die either from the dog or from the casino security) because “holy shit this gnomes gotta fight that dog and win thats my goal”, said the new guy. 

the contract was signed and he and jamie revealed their selves, gnome successfully passed himself off as a child, and the fight commenced, mostly naked gnome vs angry hungry dog. it went pretty well but he lost the fight he did get a whole gold piece for the effort though. as a joke the dm mentioned that if they had stopped on the fifth or sixth floor  (I forget) there would have been a chicken fight. so the gnome player10000x more excited about this encounter payed to get himself healed and signed up to fight a “monstrous chicken”. which may have been more like a cassowary but with coloration like a chicken? the party leader ooc commented that a chicken matching the description the dm gave wasnt a thing and was probably not possible  so what is it doing in this setting? just comic relief? why was this happening? his only explanation was a that look dms give, “hush pls I know what I’m doing, just go with it in time you may understand” and just carrying on with the encounter. we suspect comic relief but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some sort of mad science-ing. we may or may not find out.

the gnome tamed the chicken, during the course of the glorious battle and rode it home, he didn’t pick up his winnings though he just left right way and they may have been forfeited because of that. it has taken over our kitchen table. if his character dies the chicken is to be willed to Hugo because I agreed to build it its own house.

the dm had actual plot for after the deed was signed over but we never got to it.

the one handed girl went to the library all day to learn about black smithing? instead of trying to apprentice at a black smith? where actual interactions and things could happen? or trying to find ways to take advantage of the skills he already has for his character? and the player left the table but stayed at the shop when gnome and jamie went to the casino figuring I guess his character wasnt getting any screen time this adventure? i dunno. he sure did miss a pretty great series of events.
