Nice, Fleegle.

I think it's probably a good idea for me to let him sleep a little while. I'll wake him up soon, but not just yet. Give me some time to think of what to do, and for others to get some stuff done without him getting in the way.

Yeah, Leo, that's fine. So far it hasn't been an issue since no-one has mind-spoken to him.
Also, I wasn't sure what Andrik was doing when he was trying to use his fate on Vex/Xev... if he was trying to see through his eyes it won't work because, well, they're dead.
Andrik's fate allows him to experience what other characters are experiencing at the same time, so it's not limited to just sight. Also you don't have to "use" the fate... it's just like another sense. He just knows what other characters are seeing. In OOC terms it means you can use knowledge from other posts, so long as the characters themselves are aware of that knowledge. So, for example, if I say something is sneaking up behind a character, you can't know that that thing is sneaking up until (or if) the character figures this out.
Up to this point, most of the stuff I post is stuff that the characters are aware of... but if I do happen to write that something is sneaking up behind a character, and that the character can't detect it, then you must use your RP skills to ignore that information IG. Usually to be on the safe side I keep such unexpected things to myself. If the player doesn't know what's about to happen, then logically neither will the character.

yeah yeah... double posting bad...

I just wanted to note that I'm a bit disappointed that nobody has decided to explore the area to the northwest of the Pink Ones' village...

Umm... Gaela didn't actually walk over to the Tagus... she just looked at it. If you could edit that out that would be great. Thanks.

I was going to explore north of the pink town, but I wanted to burn it down first.

Actually, I wasn't sure if he'd be able to get away if he went an unfamiliar way.

Sorry, but man, I'm so confused right now I think have to read back at least three pages back.

I wasn't sure what Andrik was doing when he was trying to use his fate on Vex/Xev... if he was trying to see through his eyes it won't work because, well, they're dead.

You shall be able to see through the eyes of any other creature of the Muck during the day. May you use this power in the service of the Gods! That is all

I guess I assumed that when you said, "any," I thought both dead and alive. And I'm also thought at the time I could know any experience from any creature,(when you said through the eyes, I thought you mean through the memories in which the creature has experienced) but when you said "Andrik's fate allows him to experience what other characters are experiencing at the same time," you've started to confuse me.

And severed head of the giant??? I thought that was Varrius' head that Squall/Lumin/female human just threw out of the cave (and Lumin said that she, Squall, heard a gish when she threw it out? Meaning that it's floating on the Muck Pond?), in victim of the behemoth Tagus??

Again, sorry if I'm just causing trouble. I tend to point things out.

No, it's fine Leo, that's what the OOC discussion is for.

Leo: Just ignore the "severed head of the giant"... Varrius was not a giant, and the Tagus' head was not cut off... I don't know where Pie got that idea.
As for how the spell works... The Eye of Brunos allows you to see, hear, smell etc. what other, alive, creatures of the Muck are seeing, hearing, smelling etc. when you decide to use the fate. It does not recall their memories or work on dead creatures, and it will only work during the day. Sorry for the confusion, but it's better to clear these things up OOC before they become an issue IG.

Pie: here's your big chance... you can edit out the part of your post where you mentioned a severed head of a giant.

Everyone: We'll just say that the head landed in the Muck Pond and has sunk beneath its surface, just to get it out of the way... for everyone that means it's gone, vamoosh, history, vanished without a trace, etc. etc...

Pie · Postby **Pie** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 10:10 pm

I thought that she threw it, and i imagined the muck pond to be near the entrance of the muck pond to the tempal, with dry land leading up to a cave, and a forist past that, with a little path... well... you get the idea.
But ok, I'le edit it.

Oh, and also.... I REALLY hope some sort of JIANT MUCK MONSTER will come up and HELP ME WITH THIS BAHEMATH!!! Hes really heavy.

Okay, thanks; just one more detail to fill in: Andrik can remember what the other characters of the Muck Pond we experiencing back to the point where the fate was assigned unto it, right? So my construct knows what Squall and El_Skidd's character have done since it is born before them, right?

Pie · Postby **Pie** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 4:15 am

Well.. only if he was using his fate.

Fleegle · Postby **Fleegle** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 2:54 pm

That's almost correct, Leo. Actually, Pie, since Andrik's fate is always active, he doesn't need to "use" it. Some fates need to be willed, others are just always available. Take, for example, Kitty's SoulShield (I know, that character hasn't been active for awhile, but she's a good example). It just works.
However, let me clarify. Andrik's fate has not been working since he was born, and none of the fates do. It only started working when Ilosep assigned it. So basically your character is aware of any posts that occurred after Ilosep gave you your fate.

Oh and Pie, the head that Squall threw out of the cave was the head of Varrius, who was just a normal sized, blue-skinned human - not a giant - who happened to wander into the Tagus cave on Garob's advice.

Pie · Postby **Pie** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 11:39 pm

Well, why did Shaakh say that it would take a strong warior(or whatever) to take that doun? ARE THERE TWO CORPSES IN THE MUCK?!?!?!

Fleegle · Postby **Fleegle** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 12:03 am

Shaakh was refering to the Tagus... Varrius was eaten by the Tagus, his bones stripped and his head thrown in a pile of skulls in the Tagus cave. Then Squall came along and decided to clean house.

*sigh* This is why I ask people to read a bit of the history before signing up... but anyways, it's all in the past, the appropriate posts were edited, let's move on.
