Celtricia, World of Factions-First Look, Collegium Arcana Online Game

[LordVreeg]

And we should be on this Thursday night at 8:45pm

[LordVreeg]

a) Tonight, 8:45PM, roll20.net. 
b) Limetom, I am thinking of doing the thing we did with the SIG game, where we had 'drop in' characters/NPCS started and available.  I mean, the three regulars and Llum eventually is a great set up, but having the drop ins was cool.  Opinion?

[LordVreeg]

We roleplayed a haunting and a sleepover and some window breaking.
But it would have made an awesome movie

I'd be fine with that, especially if it'll get player numbers up. I don't mind it just being the three of us, but the more the merrier.

OK,
We'll see what kind of craziness we can come up.  I'll toss together a few stats and NPC/characters/Pregens. Maybe someone will get to play Gregoir or Bosh.

Last nights Open Session was actually in two areas, the Boys and Girls Halls on the third floor of Toad Hall, which is joined by a common room.


LordVreeg (GM): Weronima..." Oh, most of it was grand, Vee. Even the dance with the klutz was better than not dancing. "
" But you got to dance with ...him..."
Vee: "It wasn't my idea."
LordVreeg (GM): she looks at you with an incredulous face.
Vee notes that other girls are walking close to the two of you and Jessie
Jessie.." Oh, Vee? Really? A prefect..and especially, HIM? You did not bat those eyes?"
Vee: Vee turns a bit pink. "It was your idea to go over there in the first place."
LordVreeg (GM): Weronima finally laughs, if a bit ruefully. "Yes, but I thought I'd get to maybe saya few words to him...and you end up dancing>???"
Jessie, smiling, " Well, at least we are friends with Vee....maybe next dance, we'll bget our turn"
the hustle and bustle can bea hears all around, as the boys and girls are taking off their nice slitted dancing skirts and cleaning up for bed
Vee: "Like I said, it wasn't my idea. He dragged me out there. I was falling over myself."
LordVreeg (GM): Jessie.after sticking her head in a door.."Hmm. Christo is already aleep"
Jessie, " no, you were falling all over him.
the other girls start laughing out in the hall.
Jessie, ducks into her room, next to a thick, but pretty Human Girl named Harriet is just ducking in, " and looks at the three of you..." I wish I'd your spine, ladies. Fun night?"
Jessie.." ASk Vee, she didn't mean to have fun, according to her..."
night and rest come, and the dorm quiets
w/ pholian inexplicably aware that something is wrong...you remember eyes and staring over the edge of a ledge
)ooc stupid whisper
Pholian Mar: (no worries :D)
I raise up and look around, nervously, opening a window and peeking out.
LordVreeg (GM): your window is fine....your door is slightly ajar
the boys section and the girls section are seperated by the common room
Vee: ooc Could we at some point get a map of our rooms? We seem to have quite a bit of action here.
ooc And I'd just like to get a feel for what they look like.
LordVreeg (GM): ?w vee
your door is thick, shut
LordVreeg (GM): voice in the night..muffled, sleepy...doors opening


on the boys side, Pholian, you see Bosh and Gregoir first
and a few other guys
then Prefect Kakoana comes out bleerily
LordVreeg (GM): on the girls side, Harriet and Jessie and a tall girl named Hal all pour out, bleery with sleep.
"What was that" "
Whomade that Noise"
"
Vee: "Something was wrong with Christo, but I don't know what that crash was."
LordVreeg (GM): Greoir looks at Pholian funny. "Hey, that crash...Let's go!"
Pholian Mar: I peek my head outside the window and say "Can't catch some bloody s- go where?" I say, while running already if he's running
LordVreeg (GM): Weronima..." SOmething wrong? Grace of Nebler, she';s tied up...Vee, what did you do?"
Vee: "I just found her like this. She was making this hissing sound and rubbing her face along the door."
LordVreeg (GM): vee and the girls hear runniong on the otrher side of the common space
Jessie..." Vee, that is spooky."
Weronima..." really? Froli's grace, then..."
Bosh has a huge knife in his hand...
Pholian Mar: (I did not tie her up, did I?)
Alright, where's Gregoir running to?
LordVreeg (GM): Gregoir starts rushing down the hall, Bosh behind him, Grfank, Kakoana, and a few other behind him
Gregoir..as he whips open the door..." Horn of the Great Hunt...No one...."
on the girls side, Harriet starts untying Christo, who is sobbing...

one of the bits of knowledge that comes from celebrating your first Waxcrenior at the Collegium Campus is that different times of year can be read by the movement of the twin suns and twin moons as well as the Planets Legos, Xiou, Cemel,  and Eytu.

"With the right charts, one can determine where in the Dadem you are, even if you woke up after being asleep for months, because the movements of the celestial bodies are a constant, and have almost the exact same placement at the same time of the Dadem, " Says Keeper Voros, showing a simple Orrery.

He looks out and continues.  "Now, everyone knows that Waxcrenior and Hogunnet are holidays where the House of Death is closer to the Waking Dream.  This is the reason we are so careful now.  Ancient cultures, we theorize, did not know the reason why, but they knew that any time of the Dadem when Cernel was close and came in front of Xiou, well, the spirits seemed especially active."

He picks up a book, and thumbs to a page.  The class is silent, absorbing this very relevant information, as the students have all heard ghost stories from upper classmen about Waxcrenior terrors at the Collegium.

"The first alignments between the Void Sources and the time of the Dadem and the celestial movements that was discovered was Waxcrenior, as every year at that time, the spirit's influence is clear, and the power of the House of Life is lessened.   Bronos is the Opposite, and Hogunnet is when both the Well of Death and the Well of Life have strong influence.  There are times when other Void Sources are especially aligned, as well"
He looks up..."From Tel Arrives second Book, written here back in 290 RON, the  "Alignments of planet and Void, the basic version"....which is your reading for the next hawaak.

So I will have to leave early this week. My advisor is leaving my university for one in France, and we're having a going-away party on Thursday, starting just after the game usually ends.

[LordVreeg]

No stress, thanks for the warning....Should be a fun game.

[limetom]

Oh, so I leave and suddenly it's fun? (Kidding...)

[LordVreeg]

hahahahha
Did you read the bits about the celestial/void resemblance?

[limetom]

Oh man, I just realized, it's an intermezzo week, isn't it? If we're on for Friday or over the weekend, then I don't have to skip out early at all, just today. Let me know.

[LordVreeg]

awesome, yeah, this is the intermezzo week.  Let's shoot for Friday.

[limetom]

Friday (Dec. 13th, which is already today for you) works for me. See you at our usual time.

[LordVreeg]

You bet. 
And I might have some of the Pregen characters done this week, as well.  I already rolled up Harriet and Bosh.
