Hi! @Aurius, @darkrei9n, @Mr. Teatime, @Topher, @Topher Ridge

Since there've been a few requests on altering posts so far, I figured we could use a thread like this. The goal is to figure out how to proceed with as few edits as possible while keeping everyone involved happy.

The first thing I'd like to discuss is Dasi's latest post and how it works together with Cyrus's post.

If I understand, @Mr. Teatime was going for an interrupt of Gale's post. It means that this piece of dialogue hasn't happened or might not happen:

“My name is Ki’sal, Paladin of Vahla. We are allies of your Order, and have come to rescue you. Take the pistol - it needs to look like you killed them. Gale will have to handle the security footage himself. Ral?”

So, normally, @Aurius would have a chance to react to changed circumstances (i.e. the fact that other Sith and the pirates wouldn't want his guards to be roaming around the facility). It means that I'd have to ask @darkrei9n to edit the latest post to take this into account. But I'd feel really bad to ask to remove such a nice piece of descriptive writing. So I think I have an idea.

Variant A (Preferred) said:
The pirate captain takes @Cyrus Anvari (the guy with the money, and therefore with a final word) to see the sleeping Zeltron. @Alyse TiVarnus follows along with a medical droid, I assume. A couple of pirates stay with Cyrus's and Gale's NPCs for an uneasy 2vs2vs2(+1) bordering on Mexican standoff. Eventually, a fight breaks out, and @Gale's presence tips the scales. That way, Gale's guards still can get to @Dasi Vemm, and we don't have to edit another post. The fight might happen during Wolfgang's and Alyse's time with Kori. @Jago Haaldin comes into the hangar to see the aftermath of the battle and maybe runs into Gale. Meanwhile, @Dasi Vemm runs across Phyllis Vasser (the NPC from the start) and a few other dignitaries.

If I guessed right what EVERYONE's character would do, we can go on with this outline. It'll keep the story progressing at the steady pace. Otherwise...

Variant B said:
We just ask @darkrei9n to edit the post.

Please don't be shy to disagree with the majority. The sooner we decide on the variant, the better.

I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have (here, on Discord, in PMs).

But the way I see the thread could end:
  • Dasi can escape with Gale and Jago (unless @darkrei9n wants some other outcome for her). I figure it's fair, because it was my OOC suggestion for the Jedi to get captured in the first place.
  • The fates of NPCs (except for the senator in Dasi's latest post) remains up to what happens in the thread.
  • The fate of Kori remains up to what happens in the thread (I'd prefer for her not to be killed just yet though).
Then again, it's just the outline. Things don't have to go this way if I got anything wrong.

EDIT: P.S. Totally forgot that the 2 NPCs Gale brought probably shouldn't be used to tip the scales of PVP, if any occurs. They might help the other NPCs and PCs escape though.

Full disclosure, depending on how this pans out Gale will absolutely take a two on one. Topher can give me a run for my money for sure, but I’m old class PvP. I can handle it ;)

NPCs can’t be used in PvP unless agreed upon. Two Vahla could take Guavians, but it would be nothing but background noise. /edit

So, @Aurius, variant A (maybe with some adjustments) or variant B? I'm just trying to figure out whether or not @darkrei9n has to edit the latest post or not ;)

Since Jago hasn't actually gotten in view of anybody else yet, I'll just roll with whatever is decided lol

Hi @Aurius

Just a couple of clarifications for you;

  • at this point Alyse has yet to reveal herself as being under the Mask, she is conducting herself as Ceryx within this thread. - Sorry to be nit picky on this, but she is conducting herself under a different persona behind her mask
  • the time since the two last crossed paths, had noted in last post to have been several years since they had encountered each over on Korriban. Or IC wise are you having Gale make a false claim?

I was under the impression she’d had the mask at some points before. My apologies. As for Gale’s timeline, I could edit it but it does slightly fit. He is slowly losing going mental.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you bud, work had bit me on the ass again!!

This thread is part of her new & current character arc, where she is adopting the Ceryx persona behind the mask, which would hopefully build to her working towards the intent of being a Sith Lord. This is following on from her Bakura story arc which has just finished, the mask is some of the spoils, for removing the darkside cult on her planet. Its a reminder of the Cult of Locura, that she was groomed by, which is the reason for the disgust she holds towards it.

Think the only time earlier that she had wore a mask was during the masquerade ball at the start of the TL, but that was one of those feather lace things you see in the old timey period dramas LOL

@Aurius Are you intending to use NPCs vs players? I'd prefer not to.
As I said before - it’s so I can give them something to do in the background. I won’t be writing for them to attack any players. But if, for instance, either Ceryx were to have the Guavians adjust tactics then they would do the same.

it’s PvP // NpCvNpC

no crossover unless agreed upon. :)
I only clarified about their whole Force user schtuff cuz they (Vahla) are considered lesser force sensitives. Only few are strong enough to be trained fully. They’re about as effective as Deathtroopers with some mysticism. These variants anyways.

@Aurius @Catbert

Are we not waiting for a DM post? Also, how is making fire hotter going to make it explode?

Also, where is Gale jumping to? Where is he diving to? Give relative position please.

If the DM has been posting before me I’ll delete mine.

the jump and dive are one in the same. Just using synonyms. Away from Topher’s flames, it would be relative to their position.

Ah. So toward Alyse, away from her flames and over Wolfgang's, yes? And the superheating explosion?

To clarify - the balloon happens simultaneous to the flamebolt. The dive brings me towards Alyse yes, the halberd is being speartipped downwards.
