Due to a member leaving we now have an opening amongst the first. It's first come first served so whoever lets myself or Sylamb know they want the spot first gets it.

Is the alchemy off the table now?
And my Hunt Opportunity failed, so should I roll again if the above is no longer optional?

You can still learn Alchemy and we don't have to turn on the machine right away, we're safe where we are we just can't leave without doing that. You can try again as I guess it's technically a different test (and I failed to notice you'd already tried. sweatdrop) but it's still optional. It's just much more likely something bad might happen without it. The decipher test is the one we can't proceed without.

Okay then, I will try for the Alchemy and let Paci figure out his thing, then we can proceed.
gonk We are so screwed though. Those first two rolls said it all! But this little mech bugger will be plucked up like a holy glowstick and King can cover her back. We run for the hills! emotion_bigveinemotion_sweatdrop
But yeah, learning something may benefit Sowilo since her trapping the Hoax seems out of the question.

Funny how quickly things can go sideways huh? sweatdrop Oh well that's usually when things get interesting too.
As someone who needs healing I am totally okay with someone learning how to make potions! Though I'm not sure how long the Hoax will be distracted with Wyr... wink
His sacrifice will not be forgotten! ninja

I tend to not pull punches. sweatdrop Plus it was a good way to establish how nasty the Hoax are.

I saw your shop. Very nice. I'd support you, but you don't ship to the UK... Is the guild on hold again until winter?

Fixing everything up. Less s**t to read in the system and more flexibility with starting skills.
Goal: Less time seeking out skills to learn and more time spent on plot and character growth.

► STATIC LOG 002
The year is 2016 and winter is upon us. Sylamb closed down the guild according to member requests that the game system be finalized before we begin play. Reconstruction is underway with heavy focus on characters spending less time learning skills so they can focus on plot and growth.
**Cheers!** Keep it small! I'd love another Shimagakure. Focus on things which we liked from that! 1. Awesome leader. 2. Character growth (we started from kids!) 3. Training & Missions & Groups!
One of the reasons I think Shima was really successful is Ichi! All of our characters were super different, but we all united under one banner. I think if you change Alpha's character, it'd be easier to manage RPC's and start a story, ya know?
Ah, yeah. That's true. Ichi was a good character. I was able to manage the flow of time and story with him as leader. Every character had one common ally. That was back when I had a lot more free time. Hm... Can you think of a good story to go with the system and codex I have laid out? I'll brainstorm as well... but I'd rather not alter the codex too much. Its rather generalized, so we can throw on any type of story.

Brainstorming.... Need a way to incorporate elements and spirits/ghosts into the world.
1. Elemental rocks that hold the essence of burning, freezing and shocking. They'd operate as enchantments in weapons or everyday items.
2. Have spirits be the essence of not only elements, but attributes (wisdom, strength, etc) that can bind themselves to a character granting them with a permanent affinity.
This also ties in with how I'd like Hoax/Ghost/Spirits to be viewed as. I was brainstorming up some storyline ideas when I thought of Alpha being tainted by the Hoax. She sacrificed a part of herself in order to remove the infection, which is why her memory is hazy and she's not a capable leader, but more of a historian. The order of the tempest can focus on eliminating Hoax and figuring out what happened to the world. I can have stones hold her memories or have her tainted memories be actual Hoax bosses.
How about doing both with the elements? A normal Hoax devours a mystic/spirit to become a boss! A spirit/mystic can lock itself away in a stone for safety. Alpha was special and able to seal part of herself away. Then the Hoax can devour the stone and gain the affinity, but not harm the spirit/mystic. Maybe we can develop story that lets you set a spirit free from the stone and you get a permanent attribute, but lose the elemental affinity.
How about the people of Krishna were in danger of all being infected by Hoax, so the mystics sent them away into another dimension of eternal rest. The mystics obviously lost the battle against the Hoax and Alpha is the last one. She knows she can't sacrifice anymore of herself to the Hoax infection, so she begins summoning the people back from the other dimension.
When your character comes back from the other dimension, you're a little groggy and vaguely remember what was going on, but your eternal slumber has damaged your memories since you've been in a dreamless sleep for centuries. So, you can't quite remember who you are, but unlock your own memories along the way. Maybe when you release a spirit, they heal your mind? Then we can have a personal memory codex too!
