Interesting and relevant quote

Doc's Exit and the Unnamed Cabal's deterioration

2006-10-02T12:58:00.000+02:00

Doc has now left the Cabal. He did so in glorious fashion. He created copies of gang members and shot them dead in front of the rest of the gang. True torture. The weirdest things we'd go through to actually try to do good... We don't want to hurt them, so we create copies of them to hurt.

We should've just shot the guy anyway. :-)

Anyway, last session ended in a cliffhanger where we are confronted by another mage controlling a sleeper. (Or something, we haven't exactly figured it out yet).

Bling's Vow

2006-10-02T12:54:00.000+02:00

Thankfully Jerall is not a mean GM (he may roll really well, and he may send us all to doom, but mean he is not). He reminded me that Bling made a vow (admittedly in a spirit realm) to take care of a woman on earth. I forgot, therefor Bling forgot.

A month later (game time - couple of weeks real time) during pretty much a civil war, Bling remembers. He spun a bad lie of him and the ex-SWAT guy serving together and him only hearing now that he died etc. He also said he was indebted because the guy saved his life. Fortunately she didn't ask where I served with him, cause Bling (nor me) have absolutely no idea. Maybe the truth would've been really cool. ;-)

part 2 of :)

2006-09-12T14:15:00.000+02:00

the butler's punishment for what happened to hagen was harsh. but considering that he did extinguish a life it is well suited................the butler had a gese [sp] placed on him which prevents him from dealing lethal damage to ppl......more angelica news :p she built up a good reputation/status within both the free council and concuillium and now is one of the heralds.......which is a good place to work from to be a councilor one day.......she also gained some arcnum skill and a mental [computer] and social skill[subterfuge]....... she now has forces 5 and prime 3, but only had gnois 2 which we'll only know how much of hamper or benefit it could be when we play again.......also she and hades have a little person, a boy, who is 2.........best to work in those type of character developments during the intervening time...................hopefully we'll play soon so i can see how it'll work out..............

:)

2006-09-07T12:02:00.000+02:00

so we played last nite....yay [always makes me smile :) ] and completed a chapter.............we stole something from a tigger :p and went to consuillium were angelica walked in, saw vicci accross the room and shouted out "hi miss renolds [sp], how is your brother, dimitri and que?" to which she reponded by gettig her into a graple and slaming her against the wall and challenging her to a duel............angelic said bring it......vicci's terms were that if she won angelic would have to stop bothering the consuillium and give all the members, herself included, their due respect...........angelica's terms were that if she won vicci had to resign from the position of sentinal and kiss her ass [hee hee :p]..........the duel started and it looked bad for angelica, her bane was there [which meant minus 4 to all roles] and she started minus 1 willpower already............the way the duels work is that you have a defending aracnum and an offensive one -force attacking and prime defending for both her and vicci...............vicci won the taunting and got an extra die...........but despite all this angelica managed to deal leathal damage to vicci first and she caved..............woo hooo angelica won!!! :) the butler got accused of murdering hagen but in the investigation to prove him inoccent angelica confirmed that he was guilty........we then skipped 4 yrs and 10 months in which time angelica and malachi a had an ugly break up and she's now been with hades for 3 yrs and 2 months

Bling's Aspirations

2006-09-05T11:18:00.000+02:00

Though being a mage is cool, and aspiring to greater power is important. Bling still loves this kind of thing.

Probabilities

2006-09-04T16:00:00.000+02:00

Ok, I wrote a program to do this, rather than try to formulate the statistical probabilities. So I threw every combination 10,000 times, and that should give us a fair representation of the odds.

What the father says

2006-09-03T15:59:00.000+02:00

Okay, so what has been happening from the fathers point of view? The father is one of the most conflicted individuals that I (the player) have ever come across. There are several moral dilemas staring him in the face, most obvious is the ever prevalent gaurdians of the veil that infringe on everybodies turf with no regard for personal and individual identities, and all that incompasis. Apart from the internal struggle that wages there is also the father's new outlook on life (recently gained dot in int, yeah). That has inflated his pride to a certain extent. Father has also joined the order of The Mysterium, were I believe he fits in quite well, apart from doing poorly in the entrace exam, he believes that everything will fit into place the way it is suppose to. So does he believe that the polical situation, with the new elections under way, will all fall into place, if the gaurdians are re-elected into power than that is the way things are to be. And he will deal with the conciquences of the result.

There are also a number of other events that have unfolded over the last few months (in game months). Father has met the religiously mislead cultists of the Lancea Sanctum, and is rather afronted by their twisted interpretation of the words of God. '

Father is also continuing on his quest to find a legacy, to choose a legacy, that fits him (damn the fact that there is no prime legacy out there, I mean what is up with that)

So we must wait and see how things will turn out, and were father's pride will lead him.

Bling -> Zion -> Euphrates -> Ufrat

2006-09-01T11:29:00.000+02:00

Last night Bling became a member of a new order... The silver ladder. He doesn't know much about them, except they are elitist (he likes this), but more importantly, the leader Tiamat is very, very sexy.

But they don't like the name Bling. I (Reenen) didn't like Bling intially, but actually when we played it worked great. Bling is one syllable and is easy to remember (and it creates association with the players).

But actually most of us have/had very descriptive names:
Bling - Black dude with rings and chains. (Head is shaven)
The Butler - Brittish dude who looks like a butler, top hat and cane. (I have no idea if the butler has hair or not...)
Father (note... not THE Father) - Looks like a priest. He is getting older (37) now. (That's enough to form a pretty good picture in the mind)
Angelica - Beautiful, almost angelic looks girl. :-) (Strikingly beautiful)
Doc - Looks like a doc. :-)

But Mage is a game with loads of names. Bling himself has gone through several.
1. Cain Jackson. His real name... fortunately this blog is not in the game. :-)
2. Bling (as we all know and love him)
3. Sean O'Connor. (Just a random name I made up when confronted with police)
4. Zion (very briefly, can't really count)
5. Euphrates (one of the two rivers of mesopotamia (see link of post)
6. Ufrat. The persian version of it. (See link again). :-)

Ufrat however will only be within the Silver Ladder, and within the Unnamed Cabal (THE HOOD!!! - the name Bling wanted; the others don't want it only because Bling suggested it, and they'll show their acceptance of his authority if they took it) he'll stay Bling.

super long saturday

2006-08-29T15:35:00.000+02:00

on saturday we played again........it took a while to get into it, but eventually we found our groove [:p]............the short and long of it: we took at a minor brood cabal, then went after the big guns.........that was scary..............the butler teleported in during the afternoon to kidnap one of the minor guys in order to get some info, he then had an encounter with security, in the form of a gargole..............who managed to come with through the telport back home..............it was an ugly fight, but we won...................we then teleported back into the home of the brood and were taken by surprise, who would have thought that the other vamps woke up and laid in wait????we destroyed the others, but their leader grace took out the buttler and doc with angelica and father just bearly managing to survive................the sanctum now has a library, cos the brood had a bookstore.................before that angelica moved in with hades,aldrehanna [not sure how to spell it],hobbes and artemis........at least the twins are safe now.........sam [who had awoke without us noticing],however, landed up with the guardians............we also meet xiao mei nice lady with items for trade, we traded one of the weapons we picked from the brood fight for amulets of learning and angelica traded 2 of her 7 [!!!!!!!] first edition classic novels to get one for bling as well, in repayment for the use of his cash.............malchi is no longer blind we found him an eye yay!!!!!! :)

twisty people

2006-08-24T10:59:00.000+02:00

so tuesday was interesting..........we handed ourselves over to the guardians of the veil, it was nice for something to occur peacefully for a change.........there was a trail in which angelica displayed stellar debating skills and ensured that we only recieved community service.......ok so the guardians are shiffty, but they sure do have a kick-ass sanctum.........it was a pity that the father and the butler decided to leave the free council and join the mysteruim, doc was a newby anyways, but still joining the guardians is a bit shiffty............it was REALLY REALLY good to final find out what was going on with the foybriend [aka malchi a]who was blinded by an encounter with the bansher father........and then got further injured by an explosion, poor guy he sure is taking a lot of pain.........but through it all he still is this amazing sweet caring guy, he didn't want to hold the twins for fear of hurting them [ok everyone say it with me aww :p] he also doesn't want angelica to go take out the banisher father, but she has plans to track down those vamps that caused the explosion and make sure they pay.......while we were at the guardians sanctum we had an encounter with a a really twisty werewolf, that should be dealt with............oh we managed to get our own sanctum with a hallow

last session part 2

2006-08-10T09:38:00.000+02:00

Firstly the rat was not cute………..silly guys, think that anything remotely related to computers is cute :p………..the baron is evil, but so are vamps so basically angelica took the lesser of two evils there…….we need to move that rat or else the children will get attacked…werewolves are way to powerful for one of us to take one of them on so not even having someone remain with the kids and sunlit and the rat wouldn’t……..the biggest complication we picked up last session was the rat…….werewolves will always be coming after him to turn him into their totem [this means way to many scary fights for everyone’s comfort!!!]………..and lastly has anyone seen or heard from malich anonid?? :p

Last session... Summary

2006-08-08T15:50:00.000+02:00

I like to recap to see where I am after last session, and also to see how others perceived it.

Situation as it was at the end of last session: Zeus and Aries dead, and we are all recuperating at Olympus sanctum.

Two days later (I think) the cabal was being reprimanded by the Guardians, but then the sanctum was targetted as a terrorist sanctum and

1. we were being infiltrated by a SWAT team. Bling almost died, because he doesn't use a mana per day to put up his armor. In a way he wishes to be a sleeper again. Things were simple then. You could pull the trigger, and the problem would disappear. There were no-one who could burn crosses on your chest without you even seeing them. That just gets on his nerves.

We barely survived... and Bling really took a "wisdom" knock because he used the portal that the Butler created, leaving his fellow companions behind.

The whole sanctum was scattered, with Mr Magic dying, and we lost track of Styx. (Note to party... we should scry again next session)

Now, without a home,
2. we found refuge at Sunlit, a vampire information monger. She had some extra space, but was not all that keen to have us terrorists camp out there. She said that the Prince wanted to see us.

3. We went for the meeting with the Prince which was insightful, but didn't give us any solid lead on a new sanctum. Only a vague promise of help.

4. We met up with "Doc" the new pacifist PC. Who is a student at the vampire's university. Newly awakened he is an excellent addition to our cabal, as he is extreme useful when it comes to healing. I can't recall his looks exactly (come on... give us a post here), but he had two tatoos on his wrists, which is used as his "totem" (right word?). I believe he is young (about 23) and a white male. Other than that I can't recall.

5. Bling got a "mental sms" (as we call it in our game) from the Baron, stating that he'll be able to accomodate us, and give us lodging. A SOLID LEAD on lodging! But Angelica has a problem with the Baron... he is evil. We spent a lot of playing time here, which I can understand, but it was really hard to get the game flowing with one character who categorically refuses to go a certain way. Eventually, Doc, Bling the Butler, and Father went to see the Baron.

6. Doc couldn't enter the Baron's sanctum, and Bling and the Butler went in. The Baron briefed them on what the terms would be of staying with him, as well as the rewards. One of the terms was to destroy a certain irritating spirit in the sewers neighbouring the Baron's sanctum. (Any apprentice of Death should have no problems with this task... Bling is only an initiate) Bleah...

7. Trying to get Angelica to get to help was extremely tricky. Bling phoned up Hades to create some Necroplasmic shades for everyone... but used the Baron's name. Hades objected. This is where Bling had an "adult" conversation with Hades about why he is so severly opposed to the Baron, which enlightened Bling somewhat. To which end he agreed not to accept the Baron's offer... For now... (Cassey is *SO* not trusting Bling)

8. Back to the vamps to try to get lodging. They eventually say that they are having problems with a new werewolf pack which could seriously unbalance the world of darkness even more if they were to find a certain spirit and create a totem from it.

9. You guessed... the spirit was the same one that the Baron needed disposing of. We went searching in the sewers (after being unable to get Sunlit to accompany us - for obvious reasons) and eventually ran into Sir Sewer Rat... He was fortunately manifested, and no-one needed to have nectoplasmic shades to see him.

10. The rat is a spirit of information, sitting on an old pile of newspapers, next to an internet router. He was just sucking up info. Quite informed about our little cabal's difficulties too. No one could get it over their hearts to kill such a sweet and cute little rat. So we took him home. Bling spent a small fortune on Wireless routers, laptop, and lots of different sources of information he could get.

11. Finally the depressed rat (the place we got him just weren't as cosy as the sewers) was almost happy. But then, the werewolves came searching for him... and well... we kicked their butts, but mostly because of a Doc that can heal you from almost dead to totally healthy in 1 round. The rat was quite impressed because the werewolves had essence, which is something that mages don't have (I think).

And that's pretty much what happened... Anyone else want to add something?

(Trinity) The Son

2006-08-07T11:11:00.000+02:00

Sister Mary’s Catholic Church acts as a sanctum for Vatican sponsored Banishers, mages seeking to destroy the supernatural, even other mages. The Sanctum supports one cabal, called Trinity. Trinity’s members include: The Father, (no further info yet); The Son, an enchanter whom favours the bow and arrow in combat; and the Holy Ghost, a warlock trained in the arts of infiltration, reconnaissance and burglary.

The Son (Morgan O’Shea) – The Son, 22, awoke when she was 11. Morgan was born into a family of Irish Roman Catholic Banishers. The family had served the Vatican for generations, acting as a secret police charged with stamping out the evil and supernatural from Catholic communities. She has been hunting since the age of 14 and can claim 7 mages and 15 vampires amongst her kills. Morgan has long red hair and green eyes. She is as beautiful as she is deadly. Morgan has a lean, athletic build, but prefers simple clothing that doesn’t show off her body too much though still allowing maximum mobility.

Note on NPC posts

2006-08-07T11:02:00.000+02:00

The NPC posts may seem rather spartan, this is because of the following reasons:

The notes I actually make about the NPCs before the PCs meet them are even more spartan. Generally, my NPCs are built collaboratively by both myself and my players. For example, through dialogue, the players will assign qualities to NPCs that are not encompassed by my own notes, such as virtues and vices, bitch, slut, ice queen, bully, push over, chauvinist etc.
I don't want to predefine NPCs to PCs. See above.
I don't want to give away any spoilers.

The Rise and Fall of Styx

2006-08-01T12:17:00.000+02:00

Jane "the goods"Hanson (styx) catburgler, cunning criminal or mental matter mage ?

History
Jane comes from a broken family, father was abusive (sexually and physically), her mother died at child birth, or so her father had said but Jane has memories of a beautiful lady with a big loving smile.
Jane was above average in school but found a love in archery. She found in it a way of calming herself....Seeing the zone, it was an escape from the abuse.
After school she tried a few jobs in the small town but nothing satisfied her. She wanted to join the national archery team. And she could only do this in a big city so late at night with her fathers credit card and bow she left the small town and arrived in Big City. Only to find that her father had canceled the card. She was alone without cash and in a very very large city. Soon driven by need Jane turned to crime and ironicaly she was good at it. Her slim body allowed her to get places that the other male catburglers couldn't. Soon she had rep, contacts and was beginning to build status in the underground...

Then one day walking down street on her way to the gym Jane collided with 2 other people what could only be called fate and from the point on Jane started on her path to Styx. The rest is modern history....

Description
Physical: Styx is about 170cm tall, 50kgs. Long dark hair to her shoulders. She dresses not for style but for practicality and comfort. She wears size 5 shoes
Mentally: A higher than average IQ, but with mental scars from her abusive father because of this she has some very strong views on certain topics i.e. Rapist = removal of genitals etc. Due to having to live on the cusp of survival she has no qualms about theft or torture. Her vice is envy.

As a Mage
Styx sees this as an opportunity to start afresh, a new page. But with it came power, and unknown to her she has trouble controlling it. Slowly she is been corrupted by it.

Schools:
Primary: Matter ***
Tertary: Death *
Secondary: Mind **

Her companions:

The Father... Styx sees him as a friend; she questions how he got to where he is at such a young age. Also with such a low intelligence why he would be selected to be a traveling priest.

Bling... a criminal like herself, and ironically a matter mage like herself. She sees potential role model in him. With one problem in the eyes of others he is a better mage and this plays into her envy, If she can contain herself she believe that she can get on well with him. Potentially a good leader... but time will tell. She trusts him.

The Butler... an uptight tea serving, old English stereotype butler. His fascination with tea is almost disturbing, she wonders if this might be due to a psycho-disorder. His violence is also a concern, the fact that he abused Hagen so badly very upsetting to her, the fact that he would beat a friend to such a level is unacceptable. This reminds her of her abusive father. Other than that

Angelica... She lets her emotions rule her. She does not know her place or when to stop. But besides that Styx knows that Angelica would go to the end of the world for a friend. She sees her as a sister and would in turn go to the end of the world for her.

As a whole Styx likes the entire "hood".

Bling's View of last session

2006-08-01T11:17:00.000+02:00

Ok, you've read the previous post, but here is a summary of last session. And some of Blings perspectives.

1. Hagan died. (Jenna who got us all to be awakened) Bling felt really bad, shocked, and everything, because Hagan and himself followed the same path. Also fingers got pointed at him...
2. We went to a meeting with the "mage police"
3. We saw the pimp who was involved with the ghost's "ghostlyness" in a previous session.
3.1. Bling flattened him with a blow to the head, but a cop saw it.
3.2. We (Styx and Bling) got arrested, but lots of magic and exploding diners later, Bling escaped to The Baron, the powerful necromancer who metally "smsed" Bling that after Hagan's death he is next in row.
4. Bling took the long route to the baron, and was awaited by the rest of the cabal and Zeus when he got there.
5. We finally entered and Zeus and the Baron chatted, and Bling politely asked whether he could take a rain check on the proposed apprenticeship under the baron, up to a later stage.
6. We got home, and Aries was gone. 6 month pregnant Aries.
6.1. Hades got an email/message which arranged a meeting entitled 3 lives for 5. Which in the end was Aries, and her unborn twins, for Bling, Angelica, Father, the Butler and Styx. But Zeus joined in as well.
7. We killed two of theirs, but they killed two of ours. It was a close call or we would only have killed one of the two banishers we eventually did.

From Bling's perspective, with Zeus gone, the sanctum is in disarray, and may need a leader... But more importantly the temptation of the Baron is much stronger, but now Zeus's words haunts Bling:"He only wants a puppet".

3 deaths in such a short span is hard... but for Bling who was petrified of leaving the sanctum after getting a cross burned into his chest, life can slowly start going the route he is envisioning (I wanted to say normal... but after awakening, life will never be "normal" again) - now that the 2 banishers have left the streets.

pain and suffering

2006-07-30T18:15:00.001+02:00

well turns out the world isn't world of darkness for nothing.............2 really important npc's to my character died in yesterdays session...............ares [the pregnant lady 6 months along] was kidnapped by the banishers [our scary enimies] so we went to go get her back, zeus went along as well, she is his wife...........we got to the graveyard.....where we had just buried hagen all of 4 days ago [her death is another story]and there they were the father,the son and the holy ghost [all 3 strickingly beautiful woman] with the child[who just happens to be angelica's bane!!!!] we saved from the sharkmen and an unconsious ares................. the battle was swift but deadly.....the father [of the banishers] and zeus disappered in a cloud of ghostly figures .....the father[the good one] displed the ghosts armour and she responded by drawing her dagger and stabbing ares heavily turning the blade and slicing along her belly.............at this point i [me the person] started crying..............it was just such a cruel thing to do..................anyways our cabal kocked there ass and took ares back to the sanctum where artemis sprang into action.........unfortunatly she could only save the lives of the children............twins a boy and a girl...........the butler and the father stayed behind when the rest of us teleported to the sanctum and at the entrace found zeus' body in a state of decompossition...............the children are now without a father or mother :(............only angelica and artimis know their real names and so it shall stay...............they are know to everyone else as hestia and apollo with hadfe creating some fake official documentation for them.........with names we shall never use so that the baddies can not find or hurt them...........as angelica was so close to ares she's taken on the mantle of caring for them..........it's the least that she can do, as if their cabal had not gotten into this mess with the banishers then she and zeus might still be alive

olympus - a sanctum of the free council

2006-07-30T18:15:00.000+02:00

The free gods are : zeus, a theurgist, a semi biker guy, big strong and takes the words the path of the mighty literally…he believes firmly in the values of the free council and is the big guy that could be scary but has a heart of gold……his wife ares, also a theurgist, kind open and pregnant with their first children……she is also a sniper and the emissary of the sanctum…….hades, a necromancer, silly, geeky with long red hair….has strange sleeping habits but is sweet………and artimis, not quite sure of her path but we know that she has life and that she tends the tass garden….she is also a cold envious person……..
the grey are: aldrianna, the person we rescued has a sprit that takes the form of a dog [tarinus, he is the wolf hound…..generally acts like a puppy]……she is also a necromancer, a goth, works at a club as a bar lady……try’s to be tough but is really a girly girl…….hobbes……yummy martial artist…..he is an enchanter and takes care of the security of the sanctum………..mr. magic…….a warlock………hectically overweight and arrogant……..also a bit of a peeping tom but tends to toe the line

how it all began........

2006-07-30T18:13:00.000+02:00

We all came to be on this adventure cos of a phone call from an old neighbourhood friend, jhenna……….she had always been into the occult and would often need our help with strange things [well strange to angelic, she was only 5 and her older bro had to look after her]………..anyways jhenna tracked everyone down and told us to come down to the old neighbourhood………it had been 18 years since we all had been together and there was some surprises [nicholas becoming a priest!!] and some things that we had expected, like bling being a gangster :p………..we meet at a diner not to far from jhenna’s job at the library and as we were leaving there was a dirty grummy man selling puppies……..as angelic reached for one we suddenly found ourselves transported to a strange world [it was very green with a forest near by] wearing strange clothes [quite like that of a medieval setting :p]……….the puppy angelic was holding transformed into a beautiful white wolf hound with piercing blue eyes and …………..he spoke to us!!!! he told us that the princess was in danger and that we had to go save her……we blinked and there we were back on the street, outside the diner, with the dirty old man selling angelic a puppy………….bling wanted to get one as well, but instead of the 4 puppies that were there a moment ago there was only 1…..freaky much!!! angelic bought a puppy [well her brother bought it for her] and it whined and whined until she started moving…………the puppy whined when ever she went the wrong way until…………

we came upon an ally way where we head the sounds of bullies picking on street bums……………suddenly we found ourselves transported into the strange world again and being attacked!!! the bullies were these strange hulking rotten beasts picking on a group of travellers with pointy ears [bullies = zombies and street bums = elf’s]………well bling and the father had bows and arrows, the butler a sword so the strange beasts were dealt with in no time……….oh and the puppy became the talking wolf hound yet again………..once we dealt with the bullies we found ourselves in the ‘real’ world again………..the street bums and puppy lead as all around the back ways of the town until we came to a warehouse……..as we walked towards it there were 5 doors, each of us choose one and were asked to give our name, which found itself on the door in a cursive script……..as we walked through we saw a beautiful woman on the floor with a sweet old aunty figure looming over her with a dagger in her hand…………again we found ourselves in the strange world…….the beautiful woman was on an alter and the sweet old aunt figure was also a beautiful woman, there was 4 of those hulking beasts around……..we all just acted doing things that we had never thought possible, yet they felt natural as if this was what we were meant to do………………the butler teleported the woman on the alter behind him and the father for safety while bling took on one of the beasts………jhenna managed to halt the movement of one of the beasts and angelic sent shots of fire onto the other beasts………bling and the butler attacked the other woman and angelic helped by using some source of power to inflict lethal damage onto her……………once the enemy was destroyed we found ourselves inside the warehouse with the wolf hound and injured beautiful woman…………….the talking wolf hound had us follow him to a building and there we were in the sanctum of the free gods and the grey………our adventures in the world of mages had just began

The Father

Well i am also a new poster within this blog, and take a guess...yes i am also a mage player the the "chronicle". We'll I guess I should describe my character...We'll he is this catholic priest that follows the path of the Mighty, hail to Obrimos, he manly focuses on Prime...it is so cool, one of the most usefull of arcana's...he's shadow name is Father...which by pure coincidence is the shadow name of a Npc banisher that is going to kick my ass. They are way more intelligent than our clan....int = o...I enjoy playing within his vice of Pride..even though this is so screwing him over.

Today I started surfing the net for cool ideas for a legacy, or if there is a very nice prime based legacy out there, will check the book with all the legacies in later today. If anybody has cool ideas please inform me.

I think it would be useful to tell u guys were my character is heading, experience point wise I want to first by my character's fourth dot in prime, then second dot in time and then....wait for it...dum dum dum INTELLIGENCE...though stupid characters are nice to play...mmm the internal struggle rages to strive for intelligence or not?

Ohh and funny thing happened to my character, we had to get the banishers to attack the seers of the throne...so my clan decided to send me in to persuade them..me the stupid guys...suicide mission to say the least...well i stalled for as long as i could, to no avail, then the day came i went to the church were I found that they had warded the area, so I though they warded it against magic...stupid me guess what i did...yes i dismiced all my protective magic....error number two (one being agreeing to this mission in the first place)...so they started casting covert spell...mage sight gone = me not see this...while they were building sympaathy i was trying to not say something stupid...we'll at the end the of the day I walked away (at a brisk pace) while sponstaneously manifesting stigmata afflictions....

reenen's post reminded me that i didn't describe angelica.........well she is strikingly beautiful and has long black hair and green eyes........she's a lefty like me and like said by reenen a freedom fighter cos she was working for the un...........although she looks like a weakling the moves she learn't in self-defence class help her pack a mean punch.........her virtue is fortitude and vice is wrath, so she'll stand up to the bully, but if he pushes her to far she'll beat his ass :p........blings self-election to the post of leader doesn't sit well with her as they are part of the free council which means democracy so no self electing..........except if it's her............oh and she plans to be better than artemis [an npc who is envious of everyone that she doesn't deem beneath her] at everything!

Bling Banishing

Well, this is my first post on a multi-user blog, and I think this will be great.

I am part of a Mage: the Awakening game, which is amazing fun. My character is (hopefully) a colorful character who is a black man with a shaven head, with now, quite a lot money, gold chains and rings. His vice is greed, and virtue is fortitude, but most importantly he likes to think he is the boss and the coolest and the most (in)sane. He and his one mentor, Hades are both what would be considered tapid or "common" in modern day terms.

With the exception that Bling's gold is real. :-)

Oh... I forgot to mention that his shadow name is Bling, because of his love for money and gold. A man who has done an array of evil in his life but all the experience he gained in jail, was spent to get his morality back on track.

He thinks he is the leader of their group, which he dubbed "The hood"... we'll have to see if he can convince his rather comical band of friends to stick with him. They are Angelica (a real freedom fighter type), Father (a priest that have been sidetracked), The Butler (a typical english butler, also the brother of Angelica, and the victem of the frequent joke - The Butler did it!), and now more recently, Styx (a pilfering female archer archetype).

I hope he can keep himself on top. (Apparently the Baron liked him)

ummm......i play mage and really like it.....haha a silly first line :) apparantly i should introduce my character..............well her name is angelica and she follows the path of the dum dum duu mighty, focusing on forces............oh my gosh i sound so geeky *blush*..............anyways the storyteller is amazing our party [i know WoD calls it something else, i just can't remeber] is new to this and so we were found and taught by a free council sanctum.............there are 2 other parties that live there as well............the free gods and the grey...............the reason that our storyteller is amazing is that they are not just these random flat npc's there to used and abused by the players, but they come across as real.........i love that about it, especially the interactions with them.................angelica even had a crush on one of the memebers of the grey but after being ignored she moved on and has found someone else
