Now in a position to calmly observe your surroundings, you take notice of how big this part of the museum is.
Shifting from the previous theme in an almost abrupt manner, it feels like someone glued two different museums together.
The room is a huge circle, various paintings place in equidistant spots on the wall as if telling a story.

Fresco, oil on canvas, pastel, and an abundance of different others ways of producing an image.
A collection of different styles from different eras and locales in the world.
All of them detailing the creation of both man and world in every possible representation and religion possible.

There are also carvings in the walls and columns, Angels, Devils, Asuras, Devas and many other gilded representations of some the most recognizable entities in these beliefs.
In the ceiling, there is something you would consider to be a reproduction of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, in a round form, all of the paintings flow graciously towards the center.

The ground is made of a polished gray marble, beautiful striations in the stone only interrupted by the holes made in your little struggle.
There seems to be another door than the one you came from, it seems opulently crafted.
It seems the way forward is obvious.

Cont.

>>1569945
Pushing the door open you manage to catch a glimpse of the pure white room.
It seems there is no there's no other decoration in this one, however, there is an object here.

It's a brass candle holder, with only one spot, already occupied by a common candle. The candle holder itself is engraved in a variety of sinuous patterns, rich in details.
This piece is detailed to pointlessness, you can lose yourself staring at its numerous waves and outlines.

You examine the candle holder, its usage seems obvious.

>What plays will we be doing besides the Scottish Play?
"Well, I've been lobbying for Death of a Salesman and Julius Caesar myself. Principal Brown wants us to do a performance based on the semi-sequel to Peter Pan, Peter Pan in Scarlet, and so far the most popular suggestion is A Midsummer Night's Dream. Not too awful, but I'd like to do something... Unique."

For once, Donna stands up and walks over, unsatisfied with what she hears. "Peter Pan is for kids. Why would Mr. Brown ever suggest something like that?"

Mr. Clain shrugs. "No clue, he just suggested it. Said you all might learn something from it."

Price turns up her nose slightly. "Really? From Peter Pan? Yeah, right."

"Peter Pan in Scarlet," Mr. Clain corrects her. "If you have a better idea, I'm perfectly willing to bring it before the Principal."

She thinks for a second, then suggests, "Antigone. Or any of the plays involving Oedipus. Or all of them, for that matter."

"Not a bad idea." Mr. Clain thinks.

Donna passes you a look that asks you to back her up.

>>What do you have to say about Antigone?
>I think she's got the right idea.
>How about Goethe's Faust?
>What's so bad about Peter Pan?
>Do you have any ideas, Ruth?

you decide it's time to sharpen your skills, you need to make sure you are in top shape before you face another demon. you turn from Drauge's room and head down the halls, you note the increase of purity seals which is a good thing in your mind.

as you enter the training room you find Akkaz and Clink's sparring, Clinks was obviously winning but Akkaz seemed to not give a shit.

you decide to ignore them and focus on yourself, now then what to train.

>[1] train a single skill, sharpen it to a razor edge (name one skill)
>[2] train two skills, sure we wont refine them both as much but better to have some flexibility (name two skills)
>[3] train three skills, we need to be as flexible in our strategies as we can therefore jack of all trades is what we want (name 3 skills)
>[4] actually lets not train today, we can do it later (leave for now)
>[5] write-in

(warning, for each additional skill trained the potential max is lowered)

Moist Boys take over Seaside Park. Squatters start paying rent, ie, food. Some of them are also recruited; eight to be exact.

Bridge group recruits some of their tenants as well; five squatters.

More trades are made for batteries, blenders, mops and brooms. They have some weird mad max/mcgyver shit goin on now with these blender spears.

Generator is worked by rushing water from the docks. They hook it up to the minifridges and the police siren. Mini fridges keeps the fish good to eat, increasing fish input. Pretty nifty shit.

Scouts finish scouting northeast and west. They find:

> 5 restaurants
> 3 clothing stores

Through the collective efforts of the gang, a large number of squatters are recruited. I guess the leisureliness of Dirtball and relative peace of your territories paid off.

Scouts look at where the construction crew is located now. They find they hold the territories AA22, AA23, AB22, and AB23. Their main hideout is AB23, with the other territories sparsely guarded similar to where you have acquired. They have a fleet of at least 4 CAT tractors, 2 cranes, 3 backhoe loaders, and 6 trucks.

The tea is carefully prepared in an old copper kettle from an old-fashioned cake of baked and compressed leaves, with a cup prepared and cleaned with boiling water from the kettle itself. The liqueur pours steaming hot and a deep, reddish brown, filling your cup before the owner tops off the pot itself. The dumplings are also steaming hot and fresh, a welcome relief from the gloom outside.

You're just in the process of digging into your meal when the gloom outside finds its way into the restaurant: two large shinigami in plain uniforms strut out into the room, pulling off their straw cloaks and their hats while tracking muddy water into the entryway. The owner sighs before screwing a 'polite' smile back onto his face and offering to take the mens' sodden cloaks and hats.

Although you were inclined to ignore them at first, you have trouble doing so after they open their mouths.

“Yeah, they say she went down in one hit!” one of them chuckles. “Can you believe that, a Captain getting one-shot by a guy her Lieutenant went on to beat?”

“I agree with you, man,” his partner sighs as they take a seat at a table a few paces away from yours, “but come on, not in public.”

“I'm just sayin',” the first man continues. “It's an embarrassment. I don't get why we should somehow be afraid of her if she's slipped that badly.”

You smack the edge of your plate, sending the dumplings sailing, and carefully spear all three of them on your hashi like a shrike pinning bugs to a thorn. Each seems to tumble almost in slow motion compared to the short bursts of movement your arm can execute, and the wooden tool penetrates cleanly and precisely each time. Then you release it, roll your hand, and grasp it like an oversized skewer.

That felt good, but the annoyances notice you.

“Hey, can you keep it down lady?” the first man asks loudly. “My friend and I are tryin' to have a conversation here.”

>Just wait for Shunsui. Ignore these two morons.
>Provoke one of them by skewering his dumplings to the wall behind him.
>Suggest that it's rude to talk behind someone's back.
>Explain to them, in precise detail, what it feels like to have every wound you've ever had torn open simultaneously.
>Other?

You aren't sure what's worse about today, that some long lost alien brother of mister Goku decided to show up, beat up a bunch of your friends and try and steal Gohan, or that mister Piccolo showed up just when you need his help, but wants to use Gohan as bait. Either or at this point really. "Wh-what?!"

Piccolo frowns, moving closer to you. "I said hand over Goku's kid brat, if that long haired trash is looking for him then I can just use him as bait, lure him out and take him out by surprise."

"Saff!" Gohan cries, wrapping his arms around you as he holds on tighter. "Don't let him take me please! I wanna' go back to daddy!"

"I know Gohan, but I don't think it's safe there either." You gulp, looking mister Piccolo with worry. If you gave up Gohan to him you'd feel awful, but at the same time you don't think you can fight him off either. Looking down at Gohan and his crying face, you find new determination in yourself. Whatever you do, you've got to do it now before Raditz shows up.

>A. Try to convince Piccolo to let the two of you leave.

Acquiring and Improving Spells & Skills:
1) Study, research, explore, train or take classes to discover and learn new spells.
2) Training an already learned spell or skill will raise it further to the next tier once enough [Progress Points] are accumulated.
4) The progress threshold is based on the Fibonacci sequence (1,2,3,5,8,...)
>Usually Spell and Skill tiers are named as Basic => Intermediate => Advanced => Expert => Master
>Alternatively you can label the tiers as T1, T2, T3 and so on.
>Passing the 1st year exams unlock Tier 6 to 10; 2nd year exams unlock Tier 11 to 15
>Progress threshold needed to get to 6th tier and above becomes a stable 10


Spellcrafting:
Spellcrafting involves fusing spells with various skills, knowledge and even other spells that your character has learned together creating a new spell or skill.
>The name of the resulting new spell will be determined by the QM. By default it will be "Cast A B C..."
>Your dice roll will affect the result of the spellcrafting. Lower rolls will result in weaker or negative version of the intended spell and vice versa.

Social Interactions:
1) Role playing with other players is a free action. Role playing with NPCs, however, will cost an action point to do so.
2) Collaborative Player-to-Player actions like trading, tutoring and PvP, will cost an action point to do so.

Combat:
1) The battle starts with an initiative roll by each player. This tells the order of the actions of each player in the round. The initiative roll also resets every round and a new initiative roll will be needed every turn
2)The next phase is the attack, where the player with the highest initiative roll gets the chance to take an attack action. The player he attacks can also take a reaction and attempt to block, dodge or even counter attack with a spell or skill.
3)To land an attack, the attack roll must be higher than the defense roll. After landing a hit, The damage is calculated with relevant skills and traits.
4)This continues as everyone gets a chance to attack, resetting the round and this will be done until a player gets downed.

It’s about noon when you begin searching for L. Parker. You check the library, and find that he isn’t there. You then surmise that he must’ve went out to have lunch. After asking around and looking at various hotspots, you finally find him alone, eating a sandwich in one of the school gardens. Perfect.

You sit down next to him and ask for his name. He then tells you his name is Lewis. That matches the L. This is definitely him, then. When you show him the tag, he flinches, but he does his best to stay calm. You ask him who he’s giving these tags to, and he clams up. He tries to get up and leave, but it’s obvious that the difference of power level between you two would only end in one way. Lewis gives up, and begins to talk, on the promise that you wouldn’t rat him out.

You figure that’s a fair enough deal, and ask him for the details. “I’ve been making these tags for a lot of people, but recently, I’ve been getting a lot of requests from a mysterious guy.” Lewis says. “He’s been saying that he needs it for golemancy and simulacra, but you never need that many tags.” You nod, gesturing him to continue. “A-anyway, I don’t know his full name, but I basically deliver these tags to a back room in the Witch’s Cauldron.”

Interesting. You ask him when his next shipment is, and he tells you that he’ll deliver them in a couple days. Lewis then asks you what you’re going to do. It looks like you can either follow Lewis to this backroom during his shipment, deliver the shipment yourself, or do some investigating in that area.

>Met Lewis Parker
>Lewis delivers shipments of animation tags to the Witch’s Cauldron every few days.

With very critical information to give, you rush into the busy lanes of the city. Time is of the essence. You hop onto the local bus line, and make a beeline to Eliza with critical information about Martha. “Wait what?” It seems that in your haste you’ve confused which person is stalking which one of your friends. A mistake that could hold dire consequences as you apologise and leave the building. The bus line has moved on and the next one will be in an hour. Within that hour you see a shadowy shape down the street. Feeling the ties of the two separate organization closing in on you, you decide not to wait for the bus feeling the paranoia closing in. In the gloomy dark across the city nightlife. You don’t dare stop for fear of a little girl or some odd letter assaulting you. You spend the rest of the evening just getting back to your dorm. Trying to ring Devin leaves nothing but the answering machine.

If we get forced to a ground battle due to planetary shields, who do we switch to? Remain as Palpatine or have Veers show his stuff?

A note about saber Combat:
The system works through rolling a number of D20s roughly equal to the skill/power of a combatant. Rolling over your opponent's number is a "hit". Rolling 20+ over their number is a critical and counts as 2 hits. As a general rule of thumb, any important or "named" combatant can suffer three hits before they are incapacitated, nameless Jedi/dark siders can take 2 hits or one critical at which point their opponent typically decides their fate. Usually to kill them or spare them. For the record, sparing them may be horribly maiming them, it doesn't necessarily equate to "You are beaten!"

Because I was still tweaking the rules, we'll begin this session saying that Cythera, Kyle, and Rayf have each suffered one hit, leaving them two more. Luke, Sedriss, and both Blackguards are fit to fight.

One last point: I'm trying to collect a little bit of information from my players because I am a huge nerd. If you could take a few minutes to fill out this five question thing, I'd really appreciate it.

No spaces obviously.


Previously:

>>1525008

Darth Cythera arrived on Rhen Var, as part of her assignment to kill Luke Skywalker, and was met with a small, armed delegation of Jedi. Strife revealed itself in the Imperial forces as Cythera and Sedriss argued over the best course of action. Luke initially seemed willing to surrender himself to protect the other Jedi, but Cythera sensed his deception through the force, that Luke was buying time for the others to escape. A short and fierce lightsaber fight commenced with neither side gaining a clear advantage, though several received minor injuries including Cythera herself who had the back of her hand scorched by a close glance from Luke's blade.

With a wave of his palm, Luke shoved Sedriss away from Rayf with the force, allowing the Jedi to regain his footing, lifting the azure blade of his saber into guard position. The Jedi were quite obviously on the defensive, falling back into the narrow mouth of the tunnel they'd emerged from. A tunnel like that meant you would more or less only be able to fight one on one, and if your quick scuffle with Luke was any indicator, it wouldn't be easy.

You flex your burned hand again, grinding your teeth against the pain. Along with you, Sedriss and his two Blackguard warriors gave you disapproving glances. In the Dark Side Hierarchy, you were the predator, or you were the prey, and if the emotions coming off Sedriss were trusted, his measure of you had dropped considerably given your poor performance against the Jedi master.

You spare a glance behind you at your makeshift landing site. Two solid black Sienar Infiltrators are parked, their only marking a white Imperial emblem. Standing beside the Infiltrators was a platoon of black-clad Shadow Troopers. They served as Stormtroopers in all functions save that they were totally divested from the Imperial Navy and instead owed their loyalty directly to Dark Side Hierarchy and Palpatine himself. You had heard it rumored that its ranks were filled out partly by force sensitives picked up by the Inquisition but deemed too weak to make worthwhile dark siders themselves.

In a fight like this, they wouldn't be much use, though perhaps they could be used to find another way into this facility.

Another concern of yours was the significant Rebel task force in orbit, presumably in the process of evacuating the Jedi students and training personnel. Should Luke or anyone else in the Academy send a distress call up to them, it would only be a short while before Rebel soldiers were landing to reinforce the Jedi, or fighters were to begin strafing runs on you and your Infiltrators, you have to assume it's only a matter of time before help comes for the Jedi.

>Send most of the Shadow Troopers to look for another way into the Academy
>Keep the troopers here to guard the landing site in case you need to make a quick escape

The Ooze's Gloop troop discover a group of bitter frost monkeys defending a large pile of strange black rocks at the base of the mountain.

The Ooze attempt to tame the cotton wolves with pleasing vibrations and jiggling, but the wolves feel cornered, confused and that their children are threatened, chasing away the small squad of gloop troop

The Hive Tree is paranoid about the analysis of it's spores and decides to diversify them to make them harder for intelligent creatures to develop counters to. It can't change the structure of it's current spores and starts attempting to extract the key components from within the spore that make it work. It also keeps an eye open for slightly different spores developing to harvest & cultivate separately , keeping them close to it's chest so to stop the creatures downstream from collecting and analyzing these variants.

As interesting as the metal box and it's inhabitants are, this development shows how worryingly weak the Hive Trees forces currently are. It instructs the fertile slaves to begin reproducing to bolster zombie numbers

The queen extracts pheromones from the sandworms and infuses an egg with it creating a Cavernous spitter bug! It has the sandworm's ability to spit out extremely strong webbing that fuses digs into it's victims flesh, anchoring it to the spitter and allowing the spitter to drain it of blood and drag it in

Inspired by the cactus farm, the queen takes note of specifically what foods and chemicals help a species grow big and strong, including herself, improving diet of all her drones and allowing them to grow faster & stronger
