planning Occult in the Swamps

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Well I'm dead on my feet at the moment - anything i post will barely be fit to be called writing I'm afraid: I'll pick it up in the morning.

 

(Its 2:23am here )

Procrastination wins, I'm falling asleep at my keyboard lol. I'll work on getting a new post up for this RP tomorrow.

[SwigglySwiggly 358]

cheers, I was beginning to have my doubts about this rp

[EcstaticWind 573]

Is this RP still open? Because I'd like to make an application if it is.

@@Windbreaker, 

 

I'd love to have you join Windbreaker, at a bit of a weird spot for new characters to join at the moment though.  I'll try and steer the story towards a spot where you could join if you want in, however.  

 

This is directed at everyone:  Savoba is meant to be the villain here, and as is often the case, he'll likely come across as a bit over-powered.  This is somewhat of a necessity by having a single antagonist for the party - I just wanted to remind everyone not to get discouraged!  I'm not trying to rail-road the RP, I still mean for it to be fun and for everyone's decisions to matter.

@,

 

It's cool. Silver recommended this RP, and I've been thinking about joining for a while, you see.

[SilverHeart 741]

So Mirror and Wish haven't gone the Pugh the portal yet. Should we just assume they made it in or should I write a post getting them in there (even though it's a bit late?)

[Umbreon 569]

Since they were the only 2 that hadn't yet, I made my post assuming that they would be going through.  It's either that or take the risks with the big pack of fish monsters.

[SilverHeart 741]

Alright, thanks. I'll see if I can't get a post out by tonight. Hopefully a decent one too c

 

Also that's a speedy response.

[Umbreon 569]

Hehe, well I was already online playing WoW, may as well respond between quests right?  :3

[SilverHeart 741]

I like how the friendship between Mirror and Wish is half true friendship and half constantly misunderstanding the other pony and what they're capable of.

can someone recap for me? im at the point where the portal opened and then tl;dr

(sorry I'm always in a rush)

[Umbreon 569]

There's only been a handful of posts since your last one, Swiggly.  It's not a lot to read.  And to be honest, saying tl;dr when it's a scene your own character is involved in is kinda rude roleplay manners.

Noobish question, but what does tl;dr mean?

 

Also, so how should we really go about confronting Savoba?

[SilverHeart 741]

@, 

 

It means "Too long; didn't read". Basically it means that something was too long to read so a summary would be nice. Or in this case of it following a long post it means "Too long; Don't read" and is then followed by a summary.

 

Good question. I'd like to know that too.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

I know how Wish is going to confront him:

 

loudly.

Thank you, and that does sound kinda rude if we're roleplaying here.

 

What I meant about Savoba is, should we actually fight him or is this a moment where we have a heated argument with him?

 

Tbh I'm tempted to have Golbez throw a firework in his face and see what happens.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Do it! That is clearly the best solution!

 

Wish will back him up with the copious supply of apples she is carrying!

[SwigglySwiggly 358]

My apologies for tl;dr its been busy down here I'll try'n read if I get the time to do so.

Also, so how should we really go about confronting Savoba?

 

 Good question!  I've been leaving it open-ended on purpose, so as to give everyone options on how to go about it.  Maybe a better description of the current setting will help.

 

They're currently in a circular room, not much in there except for the smoking cauldron in the center.  There are five doorways set along the walls around the room.  Savoba might have been bluffing when he said they couldn't find the way out without him.

 

As far as direct confrontation goes, while I can't say I would personally advise it, you're more than welcome to attempt so!  Keep in mind that Savoba is quite powerful - quite insane as well, but very powerful.  He's much older than he appears to be.  As far as his mental state goes, while he's long past the point of being reasoned with like a normal character, he does have a god complex that a witty character might be able to exploit.

 

As far as what's past the five doors?  I'll give a hint that they aren't a way out - but maybe if you're lucky, there might be something that could help you escape.  Or at least something that could shed a little light on what the hay Savoba keeps rambling about.  

 

On that note, I'm going to get another post up tonight (that will also bring in Windbreaker's character).  So, if anyone wants to get another post up before Savoba starts ranting again, now would be a good chance!

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

I take it I'm not allowed to have Wish pull the Litany of Magic out of her saddlebag?

[Umbreon 569]

@, 

 

Hehehe, as funny as that would be, Savoba would have to show her his own book...  Yes, he has a book too!  Not the Litany!  (There have been enough Lovecraft references I'm sure it's not going to be much of a surprise by this point...)

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Sweet Celestia - lets avoid that particular showdown

[Mickey Taker 347]

Please forgive my impatience but come ooooooon Lheeeee, was looking forward to a new post this morning and nada

[Umbreon 569]

Sorry!  I know I promised to get a post up yesterday, but I kinda fell asleep at my keyboard last night >.>  On the bright side my campus is closed today due to a foot of snow, so I'm going to go get one up right now.

 

Side note, as long as everypony is together in the same room I'm not going to tag everyone with each post, just to save time and space.
