RE: [ERIS]: Downtime Edition: Mistakes Were Made - Arcanuse - 01-05-2017
Retreating to the Obelisk with Sevchenko chasing after the party would mean leaving the rest of the crew behind, but at this point it looks like all we have to do is have the cultists stand between us and Sevchenko. Let the angry Oomn take care of the rest.

Sobek's Bio is interesting...Is there a tool that lets us edit bios besides during character creation?

Unseconding :/

I get the feeling we shouldn't leave without the cursed idol. It might be important for dealing with the deacons (I mean we would've basically gotten it for free had we played it straight).
RE: [ERIS]: Downtime Edition: Mistakes Were Made - Futurdreamz - 01-06-2017
Or maybe it's a red herring.
RE: [ERIS]: Downtime Edition: Mistakes Were Made - Arcanuse - 01-06-2017
"Oh hey, we were wondering where our EVIL IDOL OF POWER went, thanks for bringing it straight to us. Steve here lost it a week ago, and we had to put off our sacrificial rites until you showed up. Now have some stuff we looted from the village as thanks and be on your way."
Maybe. It could happen. Probably not, but it might.
RE: [ERIS]: Downtime Edition: Mistakes Were Made - Heyoceama - 01-06-2017
I wouldn't get too hung up on it. Flexible story telling means theres multiple routes we can take, so while not getting the idol would probably lock us out of some possibilities we've still got lots of choices to make.

EDIT:
Cookie or Star [Agility Check]: Take the polearm and put an end to this charade. Probably a good idea to "dot your i's" with that polearm.

Quote: > Star: INT check, explain to Sev the pro and cons of killing the crew versus joining the crew. Point out that the crew is going to Fortuna which would most likely benefit him if they manage to get there. In fact, if he joined, the odds of making it to Fortuna would increase and with it his chance of returning back to normal. However, if he kills the crew, he would most likely be stuck as an Abomination for the rest of his life and achieve nothing substantial.

Going to need to work on Sevchenkos communication skills later. Other than that, we need a better plan than just barreling towards the cult site, and hoping for the best. Namely, some sort of energy/fire weaponry, as its likely that if they can walk through walls, they can also walk through bullets. And Sevchenkos fist.

They can't always be intangible, because then they couldn't grab people. If we have some means of communicating with the crew on the ship I vote we contact them so they know whats going on and possibly set up a rendezvous with Jojae at the Obelisk.
> Sobek: Contact the ship and inform them you require reinforcements.

Your not the only one. Though I think we should
>Get Energy Weapons if Possible
One problem The deacons could kill us in one strike. This one strike is phasing their fist into us then having said fist turn solid.
Practically they could rip our heart out from the inside.

That depends entirely on which way Hic decides to have telefragging flow. Although having a hand stuck inside you would kinda suck.

Also seconding the [CHA check] "Because cultists are flammable, you get to despoil a place of worship, and perhaps even punch out an elder god. What about that headline?"
