We ought to expect a decline of some fashion, yes.

It'll take a couple more decisions in quick succession along the lines of this and the Eldrazi reckoning to actually kill the beast that is MtG though.

What are we upset about now?

Did Kai have any positive impact on Danai Liao-Centrella?

“Shou-” you begin, but she's already turning her face away from you, eyes closed, flush deepening. With her left hand, she pulls down the collar of her loose nightgown, revealing her small, bare shoulder and collarbone. “Shoukaku, what the-”

She takes your captive wrist and presses your hand flat against her collar. Before you can pull away, you feel it - the small spot that throbs with unnatural heat. Yanking your hand away, you see it - it's actually glowing, ever so faintly, soft amber light barely detectable unless you look askance.

“Chrysanthemum,” you whisper softly.

She nods - and swallows nervously. “The Emperor's symbol. It marks me as his servant... his property. Kaga and the rest that fell at Midway... they still had hope of victory, at least. They sacrificed the rest of my sisters as decoys, hoping to get their 'decisive action',” she spits bitterly, “and were humiliated by a handful of tiny gunboats and escort carriers. They were thrown away - for vainglory, for desperate gambles. I don't feel like I held a line, Settle. I was just a tool for the Emperor's glory, and...” she swallows again, squeezing her eyes shut tightly as tears trickle down her cheeks. “And I come back, and only Goto's treated me any different... and you. How am I supposed to believe they won't just... *discard* me, again?”

The words sink deep into your head, vanishing into dark depths like poison pills dropped down a well. You shudder as the pantomime of the abyssal ships plays out in your head again - the eager, cute little shipgirl, battered, bloodied, still excited, still happy and proud to be useful... and the callous, quick way his hand - *your* hand - slashed out her name, before moving on to the next victim.

[ ] ... maybe they have a point. BB-3 was ripped from her museum berth, raped, gutted, and left for dead. Even America's done that to ships that deserved better. How can I shrug them off, when my own charge is echoing their words?

[ ] ... no. No. NO. There's a difference, a line, and it's neon fucking orange. You came back to defend those you loved - even if it was only your comrades, and not your nation. They came back to kill and murder, indiscriminate and wild. They are traitors. Traitors to everything that matters, traitors to everything they once aspired to.

This is what I think of you people and your thread.

Anyone willing to help me balance the cost and wording of powers/abilities for my The Fountain Jump?

CONCIOUSNESS TIER
Sense of the now -area awareness
Sense of the then - object and room reading
Sense of the soon - ten second precog
Perfect time - you have a perfect awareness of time

TEMPORAL TIER
Borrowed seconds - every year you gain twelve seconds to spend as you wish. You may store them up. They can be used to give you extra time to do something or to extend a time limited ability
Stolen moments - you may distract someone and make time jump forward for them without them noticing
Time apart - you may take a ten minute time out
Time out of mind -you may send a thought or question to your past self in the hopes that they will be able to answer it before they become you. You will know instantly in they succeeded. 140 character limit

part 2
SPIRITUAL TIER
The departed speak to the recently dead: as long as a person has been dead no more than a week, you may speak to them as if they were still alive.
Sooth extreme emotions: You have achieved inner calm and can project it as long as you are not currently experiencing any strong emotion yourself. Merely being in someone’s presence is enough, but physical contact, oratory or song, or just allowing them to see you can all boost the effect.
Grant absolution: If you can convince someone to pour out their deepest fears, regrets, or sins to you, you can grant them true absolution, allowing them to forgive themselves and move on. This does absolutely nothing for you as it does not work if you make it conditional
500 years of Practice: you have spent 500 years mastering and beyond mastering any singular skill or artform. Sure you are absolutely obsessed with it, but that will fade as the jump comes to an end.

PHYSICAL TIER
Perfect health & Regeneration:
Energy state: once per jump you may become pure energy and reincarnate yourself at will.
All together now. You may choose to absorb the personality of any self into a gestaltrn whole

Have you ever used non-hostile dragonblooded? And if so how?

>>46789107
> Have you ever used non-hostile dragonblooded?

This question smells of borderline bait. Have you ever used non-hostile elves?

But yes. I've had non-Immaculate-Faith dragonblooded of several sorts, and from the Realm and nominally believing in the Immaculate Faith, there were still:
drunken tourist dragonblooded who didn't want to start shit, merely enjoying the weird outland scenery
city-ruling dragonblooded who just taxed the solar craftsman and sat back to enjoy the flood of money and pretend nothing was wrong (and that tax was frankly a gouge by local standards, but the Solar was happy to pay it and not have trouble)
captive dragonblooded who were willing to rethink things on the grounds of having been rescued from deathlord by solar
mercenary dragonblooded who salved their conscience by telling themselves that they weren't really working with the Anathema for pay, oh no, they were taking the Anathema's money to spy on the Anathema, which is totally fine amirite

She was the token friendly lost egg. She managed an inn in semi-hiding, and not cared about anything but her inn and living a relatively peaceful life.

She was mostly here to barge into the PCs troublemakers and throw some elemental essence around, but then my players liked her, and I gave her a name (Sesse Anja), a backstory, and I kept her around for the campaign.

Even in 2e, not all DBs are murderous haterage killmurders, and I wanted to give this sense to my players.

Pic related is the map.

Your rulership is the thriving town of Strahnbrad and it's hinterlands. The harvests are largely plentiful now, a far cry from nearly two years ago when you had to sign a humiliating treaty with the Hillsbrad towns to secure food for your people

The encircled area are the hinterlands that feed your town and in times past supplied the fortress of Falcon's Rest as well. Falcon's Rest is the closest fortress to Strahnbrad, and is marked with a blue block. It is also the ancestral seat of your house.
Recently you led an expedition to retake the ancient fortress after the Alliance forces had begun to pull out of Alterac proper.

The further Fortress is Eagle's Perch. It is still being held by alliance forces under the command of Lord Othmar Garithos. Your negotiations with him went rather poorly, and he has vowed to return and arrest you and your militia for 'insurrection'.

Last time, you had managed to convince the rulers of Dalaran that there was a threat that was demonic in origin, to Alterac. They had responded by sending two extremely powerful mages to aid you.

These mages were also high ranking members of their kind, and part of the Council of Six, the hidden, mystical group that rules the city of mages. One of them was the Prince Kael'Thas Sunstrider, Heir to the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and a poweful ally.

To your embarrassment, you were quite drunk at your first meeting and you insulted him and the Archmage Modera. Luckily for you, your apologies mollified them, and they set out with your cavalry to end the threat from the syndicate and the argus wake once and for all.

You enter the alterac valley and find that the orcs and traitorous humans have ganged up on a smaller group of orcs and were close to wiping them out. At the request of the mages, you ended up rescuing the orcs and enter into parley with them. Archmage Modera translates and you find out that the traitorous humans and their orcish allies are worshipping demons, and your brother leads the remnants of your family's troops.

The parley goes off to a rocky start. The Wolfish orcs don't like you and describe your brother as a monster rather than a man. If these brutes think your brother is a monster, then he is truly lost.
