Annushka: I examine the items the mistress showed me
—Last time where we left you were being shown your original equipment and are now being shown some more equipment
—You see a set of intricate leather straps
Jessica: I will be home in like an hour but let me send my character sheet
Annushka: Is there a great maul? That’s the weapon I’m most familiar with
Jessica

—np If you wish to just chat here it may be sometime before we get to hard combat
Annushka: Ok
—You find a set interconnected leather straps each of which is marked with a kind of rune
Annushka: I pick them up
— They feel warm and tarry each strap seems very intricately sown
Annushka: Like tar?
—(correct)—
—The tarred leather feel almost as hard as iron
—Mistress: Action she picks one up and puts one up
Annushka: Ok. I put one on.
—Mistress: “Simply wrap one of these around your target to engage its function.”
Annushka: “I thought I was supposed to wear them.”
—The relic grants you instant to the alter self spell however you may engage two options at once instead of just one.
Annushka: “Wait, what am I supposed to wrap around the target?”
—Mistress:” Now some are meant for you and others for weapons.”
—Mistress-Action; She wraps one bandage around her dagger and it momentarily becomes electricity.
Annushka: I’m very confused.
—Mistress: “Each strap can be placed on different kind of objects.”
—((think of the straps as being like runes or gem stones they can be put them on other things to grant them magical abilities.))
Annushka: Ok
—Mistress “Your belt will grant you they ability to swim and breath underwater and help you breath better. It can also grant you ability to grow claws or to bend your appearance in any fashion.”
Annushka: “Ok so the belt gives me the alter self spell, right?”
—((one of them does yes but you may chose two options instead of one))
Annushka: “Oh, what is the other one?”
—Mistress ” But my piece de resistance is this.“
—(Are you asking the Dm?)
Annushka: Sorry, I forgot to type sp before that. But please what was she going to say? Speaking, “Your piece de resistance?”
—Mistress: ” Well the other strap envelops your weapon converting it to electric energy momentarily.”
Annushka: DM, is that the piece de resistance or the answer to my other question?
—((no))
—Mistress: “These rune can’t be used forever so pick your shots carefully.”
Annushka: DM, can you give me a list of what each item is how it’s used and what they do? I’m not understanding all this very well
—Mistress: ” Now Let me show you this.” Action: She hooks a leather sware buckle onto one of the straps she is wearing and is engulfed in a dark navy blue suit coverd in a black grid
—((Knotted belt: (strap)=grants access to alter self 3 times per day
Annushka: Speaking:, “What does that black suit do?“
—((Long handle-(strap) this envelops a weapon and three times per day, and converts it into weightless electric energy for ten minutes upon each activation.=(This state grants your weapon a magic plus one and lets it do an additional 1d4 damage.))
Annushka: DM How is the strap used?
—((Please grant me time i cant type two things at once, You have two straps the knotted belt and the long handle they each do different things.))
Annushka: Sorry I’ll wait
—Mistress: ” Now the Dark suite does several different things.”
—Mistress:” The first is that it comes with a flash pack on the back. This keeps your equipment dry, weightless, and above all else well protected.”
—Mistress: ” The second thing this grants is access to the missive cantrip, and moreover it allows you to cast it mentally in less than a second (a bonus action). Additionally it can be made purely mental.”
—Mistress; “Third and finally Is our rune net it wholly collects all runic and item powers into one source and it also creates protective barrier over all your body and equipment. This also gives you a little extra armor and it can also create an airlock.”
Jessica :I’m here
—Mistress: Any questions about any of these items.
Jessica: Catching up
—Action scene :”Red Lights Blare and blink all over the Cabin, You Hear a loud blaring all around you.
Jessica: ((caught up))
—Action: The Mistress Says to both you and Goldie come with me I need to show you this!!”
Annushka: I follow her
Jessica ((Am I in the scene already, does Annushka’s character know me))
((Also what’s her character’s name? I’m Elidove))
—((I doubt it but that is its up to you two she is a tortle from a faraway land))
Jessica: ((yeah we probably wouldn’t share a backstory. Am I here though?))
—((Right now Elidove is not in scene))
Annushka: My characters name is Umbrielle. She’s a tortle paladin
Jessica: ((gotcha thanks))
Annushka: DM, Where are we going?
—Mongo yells out “Mistress we have another jumper!!!”
—((we are going to meet the next player she is being introduced.))
Annushka: Ok
—Mongo Yells: “She appears to be some kind of elf or very frail human she is jumping right into the middle of the drowned grave yard I can divert her but not by much!!”
—Umbrielle: “We are going to have a sudden change of plans I am going to need you swim down tag her with your buckle and bring her back up to the ship!”
Annushka: Ok
—Goldie; “I will be there to help you carry her!”
Annushka: I take the items and get ready to go
Jessica: Eep!
—Rumble “I got my Dark Suit I don’t love water but I can help”
Annushka: Speaking, “Let’s go!“
—Switching scenes to around Eldilove.
********
—Eldilove possessing little knowledge of what happens vaguely remembers how the Hierophant of Brisbane detests arcane magic and magic in general especially in the hands of women.
Jessica: Already not a fan of this guy
—Not one to often comply with theocracies she is most like used her music to create a dissenting voice. Perhaps She even performed and advance rescue whatever the case she invoked a powerful teleportation rune that almost fried her soul
—Eldilove appears Just 2 fathoms down beneath the earth blade. in blurred vision she looks up to see a large ship above her
Jessica: I cry out for help as soon as I come to m senses
—Eldilove watches ass 3 blurry dark figures swim down
Jessica: Oh thank goodness
—Underwater your voice doesn’t travel far and water enters your body
—Roll for Initiative
—Everyone
Annushka: 17
—(what does Eldilove get roll wise)
Jessica
https://rolz.org/dr?room=jdpennel_rolls
13 + 5 = 18
—You go first
Jessica: Ok. I stop trying to scream and try to start swimming up toward the surface.
—(please make and Athletics check)
Jessica: 11+0 = 11
—With water in your body, swimming up becomes hard but you make it half your speed up
—Umbrielle is now up
Annushka: How far away is she and how far can I swim using the new items I’ve got now?
—((yes she is now 90 feet away
Annushka: How far can I swim, do any of those items help me swim faster? I thought one did but I can’t remember
—((Alter self: grants you a swim speed of 30 feet a double move lets you go 60”))
Annushka: The belt, that one could make me swim faster, right? Oh yeah. Would any of the other ones help
—((yes))
Annushka: ?
—((You may move a maximum of 60 feet, and your other friends are helping you))
—You can also change your initiative to in back of the next ally if you need time to think.
Annushka: I meant did any of the other items do something I could use to help her sooner.
–(oh only the belt is granting you a swim speed of 30 feet.)
Annushka: I’m going to use the belt to change my shape so I swim faster and I swim towards her. (Now I’m 30 ft away right? C)
—(correct)
—Ok you find it easier to swim down no roll required.
Annushka: Is there anything I can do to reach her? Could we attach a rope to the net and pull her up with it?
—(Not this turn)
—Gloriously: Eldilove see’s one of the rescuers near her she appears to be a very strong tortle with no problems seeing underwater.
Jessica: hooray!
—Goldie: Swims up to you and casts expeditious retreat your swim speed is now doubled Umbrielle.
— Action: Rumble barely makes up to you from 60 feet away and yet with roguish dexterity she just barely sprints up to your jumper, Her hand out reaches out with a larger square buckle toward the jumper.
—Eldilove feel free to make a perception check for me
Jessica: ugh critical fail.
—it is now Elidov’s turn
—The mad thrashing and sudden panic doesn’t allow her to see the square buckle.
Jessica: Since I feel like I have lost my bearings I stop swimming and try to collect myself
—Please just make an attack roll for me Eldilove
Jessica:14 with no modifiers
—with modifiers what is it
Jessica: Probably dexterity, it’s 19
—For a straight punch
Jessica: Oh gotcha, I think that’s strength so 12
—Ok here is your option make a concentration check to avoid something bad
Jessica: Concentration is wisdom right?
–correct
Jessica: 13
—Eldilove just barely calms down and realizes that in her thrashing she almost knocked a life saving object possibly right out of rumbles hand.
Jessica: Oh wow that would have been awful lol
—Umbrielle may now take her turn, She has already been instructed on how to apply her emergency dark suite
—((yep some close rolls there))
Annushka: I still don’t understand everything you said about these items. Is there an item I can tie to her so still use my hands to swim? I don’t want to be slower because I’m using my hands to pull her with me
—((Yes you have an extra dark buckle you can apply to her. it takes and action))
Annushka: Ok,. You also said the net could be used as an airlock. Would that help here?
—(yes)
Annushka: Alright, I use the net to give her air. Wait, would the big air bubble in the net cause her to float up quickly?
—((No think of it being like a scuba suit, but it helps.)
Annushka: Ok. I attach the strap to her arm and start pulling her up. She can breathe now right?
—Action With careful application a scuba suite envelops Eldilove Shielding her face and body.
—Without needing a single saving through you she her shoulder ease up.
—((yes she can breathe))
Jessica: “Thank you! Where am I though? And how did you find me so fast?”
Jessica: “I guess we can talk more when we’re on the boat? There is a boat right?”
—Goldie swims up to Eldilove and casts a spell
Annushka:” I don’t think anyone can hear you yet. We’re still in water.”
Jessica: “Ahh right”
Annushka: I give a thumbs up and then motion up to the surface.
—Eldilove can now easily swim 60 feet as a base move.
Annushka: DM, what did Goldie cast?
Jessica: On my next turn I swim up to the surface using my full move
—Rumble, helps lifts Eldilove up
—(if you want to know roll knowledge arcana))
Annushka: Out of character, I think we are very deep under water. The ship is under water
—(NPCs: may have equipment you don’t know about)
Jessica: Crit fail on my arcana roll, the dice hate me today haha
Annushka: I point to the ship.
—Nobody knows what she cast.
—It is now Elidov’s turn, and she can see the ground blade clearly.
Annushka: Out of character, the ground blade is the ship.
—(correct))
Jessica: I start swimming toward the ship, I hold the rest of my action until one of my rescuers can get ahead of me so I can follow them.
—Eldilove can make it all the way back to the ship with a double move.
—Eldilove makes it only 60 feet up and easily spots a mystic glowing square underneath the ship
—Umbrielle can move now.
Annushka: I swim back to the ship too.
Jessica: I’m going to head toward the glowing square once I see it
—Goldie and Rumble Escort you the entrance hatch and a gold elf in a dark robe ( a very rare sight) grab your hand and pulls you into a board room.
—Everyone stands In a room surrounded by decorated walls. At each corner of the room is a tall dark statue and in the center is a long table with various fruits on them.
—One of the wall vanishes revealing a white room with large white beds, Both Goldie a gold dragon born and rumble a Thai color Tabaxi is you onto one of the beds
—You can easily talk or chat white the dark robed figure briefly checks your pulse and breathing
—you all may Rp
Annushka “Hello, I’mUmbrielle.”
—This is spoken by a human size turtle like being wielding a large club/maul.
Jessica: “Nice digs you have Umbrielle! Are you a fan? I didn’t think I was like, 4 star underwater hotel popular or anything.”
Jessica: “My name is Elidove in case you aren’t a fan, or I’m dreaming.
And what are the rest of your names anyway?”
—(sp before verbalized talk helps me a bunch)
Jessica: ((will keep that in mind thanks))
Annushka: “I just arrived here last night, not quite as dramatically as you. I was on my island with my clan and then I woke up on the street. These people brought me in and helped me.”
—Mistress: ” I actually own digs and I certainly am a fan if the Heirophant hates you which I guess he does if you had to used one of his emergency jump gates.”
Annushka: Sorry, I forgot again.
—-(np)
—Eldilove may make a perception check
— Umbrielle may also make a perception check
Annushka: 19
Jessica: 11
—(Eldilove also please type your roll in the box as well)
Jessica: Sorry my roll was 8, +3 for intelligence
—You both notice a key hole shaped rune on the top of you’re right hand
Annushka: A glowing rune on our hands?
—Yes like yours from the first time.
Jessica: And sp “I hope that piece of slime hates me every time my voice rings in that hollow skull of his “
—On one of the back of her hands.
Annushka: Oh just her, ok
Jessica: Umbrielle you look like you’ve seen this before?
Annushka: I look at my arm where the rune was. Is it still there?
—Yes
—Mistress/Robed Elf: “Oh don’t worry he very likely hates you for countless reasons now especially now that you have been rescued.”
Annushka: I show my rune to Elidove.
—Mistress: “I will be fixing up new quarters for both of you. while you adjust.”
Annushka: Speaking: “Do you have any idea how you got out there?”
Jessica: speaking (to the Robed Elf) : “Thank you, you are incredibly kind. I didn’t catch your name?”
—Eldilove Notices the exact key hole rune on Umbrielle as well.
Jessica speaking, (to Umbrielle): ” I was singing at a protest against that Hierophant, when someone tried to shut me down. I was trying to escape and I found a rune, from what I remember from what I studied I guessed it was a teleportation rune and I guess I guessed correctly because the next thing I knew I was underwater.”
—Mistress; “I am just the Mistress of the Autumn Festival the Order of the hidden Belt and the many other agencies most just call me the Mistriss while I am leading a military project.”
Jessica Speaking.: “Why this guy’s goons would want to teleport to the middle of the ocean is beyond me though, and thank you again for your hospitality Mistress.”
— Mistress “Certanly.”
Annushka Speaking:,” I don’t know how what happened to me, I must have been unconscious when I was transported. I don’t know why someone wanted to send me here.”
—Rumble/Thai colored Tabaxi “Teleportation powers and runes can do that sometimes. You might have been transported away and into a random area.”
Jessica. Speaking: “Well hey I am not complaining.” I stretch out on the bed.
Speaking: “It sounds like you maybe miss your folks though?”
Annushka: “I am concerned. I don’t know what happened to them.”
Jessica speaking: “I’ll help you find them when we get a chance.”
Speaking: “My guess though is that whatever reason you’re here may end up being something that could keep them safe.”
Speaking “Mistress do you know why we are here, and what this on my hand means?”
—Rumble: Action shows a key hole rune on her thigh. ” Speaks ” I had bailed my brother out of prison along with many other folks and we ran. They wanted me dead not just because of what I did, but what I could do.”
Jessica: Nods toward Rumble. Speaking: “I’m glad you were able to get him out safely.”
—Mistress: Her head peaks out. ” Oh that just means you are a Dred Witch according to the Hierophant. Most women are considered to be witches by him but since you can snare and wield the most powerful runes you would be considered a Dred Witch so congratulations.”
—Goldie: Action: Rushes off to help fix up the room being worked on.
—Rumble: “Yea me too.”
Jessica
—((is everybody caught up))
Jessica ((yeah than you!))
Annushka: “I don’t think there’s anything else.”
Jessica speaking: “Well my new friend I am going to get comfortable.”
I pull out my lyre and play a song of rest.
oh gosh no I don’t
I don’t get that till 2nd level forgot that
—You discover it is in perfect working order well tuned and perfectly polished.
Jessica: But I do practice a little. (oh wow very cool!)
—Rumble/Tabaxi: Speaking to Umbrielle: “If you could catch her up with what. we are doing and relax yourself after that. The Mistress may want a final meeting with us.”
Annushka: Ok. Speaking to Elidove: “The reason we are here now was to get one of these runes from somewhere above. It’s lucky we were here when you appeared.” Speaking: “There is some kind of underwater tower under the island and it’s full of undead. Above that there is a graveyard.”
—(The grave yard is underwater also. a military fort is up top))
Annushka: Wait: I think I mixed that up. I think the underwater tower is the graveyard
—((the tower is a building within the underwater graveyard))
Annushka Oh ok. Speaking:, “Then after we get the rune and get past the skeletons we will reach the surface inside a fortress controlled by the enemy army. We are supposed to find a way out of the fortress and get to another island where we will find someone who can help us get back to this ship.”
DM, did I explain that correctly?
—(yes)
Jessica speaking: “A heist eh? I like it. Well hopefully I can pull off the same trick I used to get here, with maybe a little better control when the time comes.”
Jessica speaking: “So what skills do each of us have to lend? I’m ok with a rapier and crossbow, I know a little healing magic, and I can make baddies sleep or easier to hit.”
—Rumble/Tabaxi: “She may need to know how to snare more runes also. Since she has now probably been labeled a Dred Witch that skill could be helpful, would each of you like another crash course in rune snaring.”
Jessica speaking “Yes please!”
Annushka Speaking. “Yes please!”
—Rumble; “Humbf…All right Let take this step by step. Step one is contact with the rune each of you should touch your underwater dark suite.”
Jessica
I do so
Annushka
Me to (She does this also.)
—Rumble: ” Step two is calling out to the rune. Try to picture the rune we gave you in your mind. ((please both of you role percentile dice)
Jessica: 48
Annushka: 94
—Both of your heads feel heavy and a bit cold. You see in your minds eye a long eel encircled by a shield of electricity.
Jessica: I try to remember the rune that brought me here
—Rumble: “All right I need to tell you taking this rune may forever brand as one of us, and as what we are I can’t just do that to you. Do you realy wish to learn the rest? Ask yourselves ‘Do you really want to become apart of the Autumn Festival and our specific order?”
—(You may roll another percentile dice if you really wish to.)
Jessica speaking: “Without hesitation.”66
Annushka 82
—A key hole briefly flints into your head Eldilove.
—But nothing happen to both of you.
Annushka: “So what did we do wrong?” That was supposed to be sp Autocorrect keeps changing it to so
—Rumble; “If you really wish to be one of monsters, assassins, necromancers, and other spooky characters, step three is just giving a name to that shield rune”.
Annushka: There’s a shield? Or the rune looks like a shield?
—((Eldilove wanted to rekindle the keyhole rune you didn’t ask too a serpent in an electric shield is the rune you saw. ))
Jessica speaking: “Keyhole?”
—((the one rune looked like a see serpent in an electric shield.))
Annushka: Oh I see now. We need to think about the electric eel rune
—((Are you naming the shield or the keyhole rune Eldilove, because you did not see a key hole rune.)
JessicaOh whoops, I misunderstoodspeaking “Lightning Shield!”
Annushka
We have to give it a name? “How about Gojira!”
Jessica: I like it
—Each of you take 3 points electric damage as you feel your bodies convulse about.” Rumble nods her head down a little crestfallen.
Annushka: “Speaking what happened that time?”
Jessica: “yeoch!”
—Rumble: “Some runes are more potent and more severe. so their branding sting a bit more. Step four is imagining a throw able object in your hand, and an energy type that object embodies. Finally throw it at the area you wish to change.”
Annushka: I imagine a harpoon And throw it somewhere it won’t damage anything.
—((And what energy type))
Annushka: Electric
Jessica: I imagine a small turtle in my hand cackling with electricity and I throw it toward the table.
Annushka
—These objects appear in your hands. roll attack rolls both of you
Jessica: 12
Annushka: 9
—Only Eldilove is engulfed in a dark cloak it has the same properties of cloak of the manta ray in addition to the other traits you read about in the equipment Umbrielle got earlier.
Annushka: What happened to mine? I just missed?
—Rumble: ” You can try again Umbrielle but you will be branded as a deviant monster.”
Annushka: “What does that mean?”
Jessica speaking: “I think the purpose of this spell is more protection than weapon.”
Annushka speaking out of character, oh yeah I guess since it’s a shield
Speaking. ” What does being a deviant monster mean? Will it mutate me?”
Jessica ((Was just saying since I was told the harpoon appeared in your hand))
—Rumble “It means the Autumn festival is a detested group that works with magical predators.”
Annushka Speaking, “Wouldn’t they already consider me a deviant monster just because I’m not human?” I’ll try again. I imagine the rune and imagine a net. When it appears I throw it.
—Rumble: ” They do but that does not mean working with dragons and wizards will grant you an easy life.”
—(Give me an attack roll)
Annushka: 19,
—You also get that cloak and all the runes and abilities you had come alive in it.
Annushka: “Thank you Rumble.”
Jessica: “Thank you Rumble.”
Jessica: “Are all runes snared this way?”
—Rumble: “She nods smiling. “Oh its my pleasure I suppose I hope you enjoy living the life of a Dred witch.”
—Rumble:. She nods again.”Great now who can tell me what the 4 steps are now.”
Jessica: “Contact, name, ouchy, throw.”
Annushka: “Touch the rune imagine the rune imagine an object throw the object Right?”
Jessica: “Ahh yeah, imagine the object, I guess ouchy is less a step and more what happens.”
—Rumble: “Correct all of you now rest up we can treat your injuries. The act of doing all these things together is known as Reeving.”
Jessica: “You’re a fantastic teacher Rumble, thank you again.”
—Rumble Action: Bows “Its my pleasure Now I am going to rest up when you feel ready you can join the Mistress back in the main water room, where some finale options will be offered.”
Annushka: I’ll lay down to rest. Unless we’re supposed to go to a different room for that?
—No
—Feel free to take a short rest and talking some more about plot will be available in other rooms.
Annushka: Ok
—What do the rest of you do
—Also when people are too tired tell me
Jessica: I’m going to take some refreshments and then take a short rest as well.
I think I am reaching the end of what I can do for this session but I am having a blast
I’m really liking this campaign
—I am So glad this game format is different We can stop now if you’re tired
—You two can decide if you are up to a discussion with the Mistress.
Annushka: It’s ok with me.
Jessica: Yeah I’m ok with that but I think I’m going to head to bed irl after
—NP
Annushka: “Ok let’s go see the Mistress.”
—Our team heads back into the Nautical room. Each of the walls Is decked out with battle plans the table has a wide variety of treats on its the floor. A wall of force stands over the water, and multiple beverage barrels stand against the back wall.
Jessica: I help myself to some of the ship’s hospitality
—Sitting around the table are both the tabaxi twins, Goldie a dragon born wrapped in leather straps and the mistress in the center. Would you both verbally describe your characters for each other.
Annushka: My character looks like a ninja turtle, but more natural.
I don’t remember if she was wearing anything other than that suit I was wearing in the water
—And what does Eldilove look like
Jessica: Elidove is whispy, a little taller than your typical elf but not by much and her clothes and mannerisms are definitely much less glamorous than you’d expect from an elf.
—You also Notice that Eldilove is definitely one of the most attractive women in the room
—Mistress: “Well it looks like Rumble closed the final sale. But I still need to tell you we are an underground military organization.”
***
Jessica
Speaking: “I’m happy to help anyone that isn’t fond of that… what I was about to say was a little too colorful… but… aside from my happening upon a rune I don’t really know what’s so special about me.”
—Mistress: “Once you start working with us it will forever brand you with us and you will not be undertaking gentle and forgivable actions in the hierophant’s eyes, your actions will shed there blood”
Jessica
Speaking: “As happy as I am to be here, I absolutely adore a chance to be on the Hierophant’s bad side. I just hope I’m what you were looking for.”
Annushka
Speaking: “I’m not a stranger to war.”
Jessica
Speaking:” I am happy to help in any way I can. if you don’t mind my asking how is it that you found out about these runes? What are they and how did the Hierophant get them?”
—Mistress: “I am not going to say we couldn’t use the help After words we can help you work with us and train you under our wing, But I am willing to help you with whatever you need now. If you are ready to get blood thirsty we can talk about my organization more and what other special weapons we have.”
Jessica
Speaking : “Absolutely!”
—Mistress: “Umbrielle it was my final goal to teach you about Rev Runners but you have already chosen to take a powerful spell caster with you, and Eldilove has some talent with magical music it seems so I guess she could be a skilled healer, and you yourself seem to be a talented warrior.”
Annushka
Speaking: “I still don’t really understand what Rev Runner means.”
—Mistress “So the final choice is yours I could teach you how a scout runner works if you wanted a rev runner to work with however if you don’t mind working with living allies you could recruit Rumble.”
—Mistress; ” Rev runners are just constructs that fight with us while we are on mission.
Annushka
Out of character,. Oh you were going to make an NPC to go with me? I’d be happy to have as much help as we can get
—Rumble: “You can chose to take a guardian construct or hire our one remaining agent Rumble.”
—-Rumble: Action: She just eats quietly.
Annushka
Speaking: “Rumble, would you like to join us?”
Jessica
Speaking: “Rumble I know you’re the last agent this group has to spare, but we’re inexperienced and we could learn more from you than from a construct. If you can keep us alive there will be 3 remaining agents.”
—Rumble from the end of the table: “To be honest we cats aren’t big fans of water, but I have the suit, I am the best Rune stealer, Some folks don’t like having to many talking team members around them….But I do Want to make sure that rune gets snared I even have a mini gun runner if you wanted a little tech help. I think I might enjoy it.”
Annushka
Speaking: “Great! Welcome to the team”
—Rumble: “You need to understand however that I don’t hold back. I fight claws out. I am a heavy Crossbow, when you point me at someone bad things happen.”
Jessica
Speaking: “Glad to have the best with us.”
—Rumble; “Welll uuuuumm yeeeaa ok. Not everyone likes the pesky bot around also so I can go get prepped if you need me.”
—Mistress: “So it’s decided you seem like very zealous soldiers yourselves.”
Annushka
Speaking : “Let’s bring the bot too!”
—Mistress: “Darling your suits have only four special channels with 5 or more something or someone will need to be left behind however. Rumble has her own mini runner that can help you also.”
Jessica
Speaking: “I’ve never thought of myself as a soldier, but anyone who treats women the way the Hierophant does has an enemy in me.”
—Mistress: “I guess this brings us to the third article of business and that is the nature of our order. We also covertly ship out magic belts, and some of these are cursed.”
Annushka
Speaking: “What do you do with cursed belts?”
—Mistress; “One in particular is known that we produce has the power to change the external sex characteristics of those who wear it. Others can use these to change there nature to a small degree or a large degree.”
—Mistress: “The women in our order come from a variety of origins and those we focus on are they who seek out these belts we make. We make these belts just for them you see.”
— Mistress: “It is this disassociation we have with our bodies that connects us the dead that makes us superior necromancers and transmutes. I myself am a transmuter as is Goldie.”
Annushka
Speaking: “They seek out these belts to change their bodies?”
Annushka
( To dm: Wait, I think I missed a message. You went from talking about the belts to disassociation with the dead.)
—Mistress: “Yes not everyone must love the cards they are handed Umbrielle and a spirit is not always in its most appropriate body in this way they …we are kind of like possessing ghosts.”
—Mistress: “Its quite simple Umbrielle to some the body is a cage and not a vehicle.”
Jessica
Speaking: “That makes some sense.”
Annushka
Speaking: “Yes I understand the desire to change ones body.”
—Mistress: Action: She nods to Eldilove. “While not all our snaring agents are obtained this way most of us are, and in time our agents that are associated with the autumn festival obtain the ability to scribe new runes as well.”
—Mistress: “I must say though… We are not the knights who slay dragons. We are the knights who slay those knights!”
Jessica
Speaking: “Or steal from them.”
—Mistress: Action: She Smiles.
Jessica
Speaking: “Is there anything else you can tell us about this underwater tower? Are we going to find a way out inside?”
—Mistress: “Its part of an ancient ruin so there is likely no lock and no door you just need to fight through a graveyard first. Its part of an ancient ruin so there is likely no lock and no door you just need to fight through a graveyard first”
—Mistress “Traditionally there is a vetting process to things. You would need vetting and training so and in time you would be accepted as an advanced agent.”
Jessica
((I think I am getting a little too sleepy to keep going but I’m looking forward to working through the graveyard next session))
—Mistress; “So to the point I am offering you one of these belts to allow you one to have these abilities. And I would make you an advanced agent even before sending you out. Your being granted allot of magic to handle in one day.
—cool np Just glad you had fun
Annushka
Yeah it was a good game. Thanks
—Please consider Eldilove if you want to make your pc trans or not its your call. There are advantages and disadvantages to it.
—My pleasure
Jessica
I think I’d like to play a non-trans pc who is a very strong trans ally and who is gender noncomforming. She’s a she/her cis woman but she hates bigotry with a passion.
Annushka
Mine is definitely trans. she is already considered female by her people but she wants to change her body too.
—That’s fine eldi. Umbri. You have an option to use now
Night night Jessica Don’t let me keep you up.
Jessica
Thinking about it, since my character is an actress…
Annushka
I’ll ask her a little more about what the belt does. Speaking: “Do the belts change the wearers body permanently?”
Jessica
Speaking: “Do you have any belts that can change just my appearance, to make it easier to take different roles?”
And goodnight, thanks again!
—Mistress: “Yes they could do either or. There are Gender fluid beings within the Autumn festival as well.”
Jessica
Speaking: “I would like one of those to add to my disguise kit.”
Annushka:
Speaking. “I have always wished to change my body in the way you described. I would be extremely grateful if I could use one of your belts to change it.”
—Mistress: “I could certainly have one prepared for you, and especially for you as well Umbrielle. Its just not right sending you on dangerous missions, only to get close to obtaining something your spirit should have a right to. I want you to go fourth powerful without anymore suffering.”
—Mistress: “They will be here on morow. I shall covertly grandmother you in to our order. And you can be a member of our order knowing who you fight with.”
Jessica
Speaking: “I just keep liking your group more and more. Glad to have met you all, I will rest well tonight.”
Annushka
