Not close enough to any of the skills I'm focusing in to level, so I think I'll take the pet too for fun and hope it matures in time.

I think given Risu talks to beasts, she'd have to take a pet too, right?! :P Hopefully not a squirrel though, that could be confusing!! :lol:

Given Risu was a bit of a street rat / performer, I'm picturing an Aladdin and Abu type duo :lol:

Unfortunately I don't have any monkey-type beasts prepared. >.> Well, I'll announce what everyone's getting now, then. The list of possible results is (Felid, abschir, carionite, repkull, aeran), in that order. Rolling a die to decide for each person.

Burns: Repkull
Gathers: Carionite
Spider: Carionite
Synch: Repkull

... Wow, two carrionite, two repkull. That's kinda weird, but whatever. So those are the pets you'll be getting when it's suitable. Also, Thinks gets 3 SP in Toughness.

And dear GM, that's not entirely true, you have some monkey on this page...

Yeah, Burns decided to take up the task of planning out some more monsters, since I've been busy working on an assignment all day. They'll need some refining before they're actually ready for use, though... Also, if Risu got such a monkey the general populace's reaction would be along the lines of "WHAT NEW HELL IS THIS THING?!" given that any new creatures I add will be things that live further out from the city, and are thus unrecognised.

That's because Risu is half Loki's size, and stabs people with toothpicks! :lol: :stab:

If they need to be fed live blood, I hope there aren't overly restrictive animal use protocols! I know some folks that have done research on ticks, bedbugs, and mosquitoes, it takes a lot of paperwork to get a rabbit or chicken you can let them feed on!

"Animal use protocols" are "If you can keep it from killing people you can keep it." But carionites don't have to be fed on blood. Blood's more efficient for them, but they're primarily carrion eaters.

What about the lizards? What do they eat?

Suppose the name is a clue there, all I could remember was the rasping blood drinking tongue.

Repkull are carnivores. They mostly eat carrion, but will ambush prey too. ... You can look them up if you want, they're Komodo Dragons. Only difference is they can spit acid, which Komodos can't, and they don't produce venom, which komodos do.

Burns has been being a jerk and harassing me about money value. But I really don't want to do that properly, so I told them to do it for me. So. Even though I mentioned values with the job, I'm thinking of changing things to to a simpler system. It's a system of small, medium, and large purchases. A small purchase is for common items; clothing, food, weapons, armour, and such. A medium purchase is for things that are less common, such as enchanted items. A large purchase is something that's remarkably rare or difficult to acquire, including enchanted items which are produced using a Talent (Meaning they can't be replicated by others.)

I'm thinking the job will pay a small purchase for the one day, a medium for a second, and two medium for a third. Opinions?

Hey, I flat out said I told you to do it for me.

I am easy really, but similarly, you could just steal the money / item lists from a different game (e.g. DnD).

If you want to do purchases, its going to potentially get tricky for mundane items (e.g. food / ammo). Also, if we only earn 2 purchases, how do we split that between 3 of us?

Gotcha! I'm fine with whatever you want to try to be honest. If it doesn't work we can always try something else I guess :)

I'm hoping this system will work. If this doesn't work we could adopt it from something else, as you say, but the options I know of have more precise currencies, and then I'd have more trouble trying to work out how much pay a job is worth.

Hey, Dlover, I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your game in general, but especially so lately - about since last week or so. I can hardly wait for the next update to happen.
That probably has a bit to do with the combination of a) a fight (of Loki) going on and b) some progress on the "magical" skills and c) the prospect of getting a pet (great idea for an "Easter special" there), but I thought it would only be fair to let you know.

Thank you so much for running this game for us and for making it this interesting. :thumbsup:

I might be biased but I like the game as well. I like most of the chars (even you, insane mind mage), the abilities, the magic (though I am super biased on this one).

Don't get too annoyed if dlover forgets how magic works again or tweeks it :lol: . Magic talents (thing you specilize in) is hidden like abilities. You might get clues as to what it is, in and out of character

I'm glad to hear you like it! It's a fair bit of work to keep track of everything at times, as you've seen in this fight, with my complete flub on the damage you dealt, but it's fun to work on, regardless.

Burns is right as well. The magic system is something I forget pieces of, or try to improve and refine it, so it can get rather confusing for everyone involved. They've been a great help in improving it, though. Hopefully you can put up with it. >.> There's still the basic rule, though; Through Enchantment you force magical energy to follow rules you set, and your skill defines how many and how effective those rules are.

Sorry, during the week I can visit and post hourly at work, but I'm the weekend I'm lucky if I have time to visit once!

EDIT: And it was Anzac Day too so it was a hectic long weekend!

We don't all have a lot of free time, it's no problem. You actually get busy for Anzac Day, though, eh? The only people I know who really do anything other than relax and reflect are those involved in the military or who work in big shops.
