[Scion DEMIGOD] Through the gates of Hades
Posts
Either that or people hate my game. I am now down to one player in the IRC room, after starting with like five or six or something like that in my first session.
As an ST, this is slightly frustrating and irritating. Do you guys want to change the day? Are you having scheduling issues? Or do you just hate me or something? Let me know.
But yeah, it's getting lonely hogging all of the awesome.
And CJ, we didn't kill you. You just got thrown around like a playtoy for a bit, and I ended up blowing a guy's brains out.
I am sorry
Today was my dad's birthday so there were some festivities in the afternoon and then afterwards I basically crammed homework
Still, there were only three of us last night right?
EDIT: Spent my 7 XPs! I'm never gonna get to Demi-god with the way I spend.
Go here for the goods.
There is definitely room for two more! Just send your sheets to me via PM, or post them in the thread, and as long as they meet with my approval(which isn't that hard to come by, I'm easy-going,) you're in!
If you have any questions, my contact info is in the OP(newly updated with it!) and I'll be around for the next few days, since it's my pseudoweekend!
ima gonna beat you up!
Also Cynic, we forgot to mention that your character is still wearing handcuffs, I believe, with a pistol shoved into one hand and a heavy metal lockbox in the other. You're being held by the upper arm in an elevator shaft by yours truly.
I'm debating whether to jump strait to legend four and grab sky 3, because come on, lightning sword? Yes please!
All with a Marksmanship skill of 1 and no epic dex. The circumstances might have been in my favor, but still.
Quick summary of events and cast of characters so far:
Infidel - Playing Devon, a Scion of Tezcatlipoca. He has a relic gun and a leaves much of his actions up to chance.
Cynic Jester - Playing Ann, a Scion of Anubis. She has a relic scalpel that summons a reaper to do her bidding, and a father who takes pity on her misfortunes.
INeedNoSalt - Playing Kandy, a Scion of Kalfu. She controls the voodoo spirits, man. Also a mean nurse.
JacquesCousteau - Playing Brad, a Scion of Baldur - This Ken-doll rides the magic norsie horsie and punches the bad guys.
Story takes place in New York. Encounter began with some strange murders in central park, where the group encountered some ichor-ninjas which were infesting hobos. The actions shifted to Simon's park-side apartment building, which was being raided by what appeared to be a SWAT team looking specifically for him and his loot, and some bombs were planted around the building, which begins to collapse Simon jumps out off the fire escape into the office building nextdoor, where the group catches up with him from below and takes down half a dozen of the SWAT team that rappelled over, through creative use overt order and grenades. The group makes its escape in a car, which is rammed by a Black Van, resulting in Ann (who missed that session) being incapacitated. After a quick encounter that involved Simon cutting the in half and then blowing its leaking gas tank with a road flare, and Devon running down a dude carrying a stretcher, the group made its way to the hospital along with Kandy, who was guided there by fate and rode in the ambulance. Ann was pronounced DOA, and another ichor-hobo showed up. Simon proceeded to "borrow" Ann's artifact, and whoop some ass. Anubis took pity on his death-prone child, and brought her back, though I'm still fuzzy on how that happened. The evil SWAT team then surrounds the hospital, and takes Ann and Simon into custody after they receive another strange phone call telling them to go along with them and promising backup. (There are a lot of wierd phone calls) Brad, a doctor at the hospital, follows the van on his legendary norse horse. Simon and Ann are taken to an underground garage and are wearing handcuffs in a cargo elevator with a few SWAT dudes, heading further underground. Brad punches through the roof of the elevator, and Simon takes the opportunity to snap his handcuffs with ease and the two of them kill a few swat. Ann can't break the handcuffs, and then thanks to an ingenous designer, the elevator activates its built-in "plummet" mode and falls, but not before the dude with Simon's sword gets away, and the three scions are left holding onto an elevator cable.

1. Untouchable Opponent is disallowed. You can get a DV of over 100 at God level, making you utterly impossible to hit. You don't want to face something like that, so you don't get to use it.
2. Relic weapons may not have a Speed of less than 3. The Tick-based combat time system of Scion breaks down if you go beyond that. You may use Boons and Knacks as written, which may reduce speed beyond that, but the base speed can't drop below 3.
3. You may take a Knack to add Epic Perception to Firearms damage, which fixes the problem of Firearms really really sucking at high Hero and up.
Addendum 2
Houserule: Epic Appearance
In the rules as written, Epic Appearance does very, very little. To counteract this, your dots of Epic Appearance subtract directly from the successes of Presence or Manipulation rolls made against you, representing how horrifying/attractive you are and distracting them from their true purpose.
Addendum 3
When making Relic weapons, try to pick the weapon profile closest to what you have envisioned, but don't feel like you have to take a shitty set of stats if you really don't want to. Some weapons are WAY better than others, and this makes a difference. For Relic weapons, just pick a set of stats that your weapon is vaguely similar to. For non-relic weapons, you're sticking to base stats, just as an FYI.
Also, I think we're considering putting a bonus modifier on PDV, in order to make it not useless.
Goddamnit
It's Kande and it's not pronounced like 'candy'.
Candy with a C. Got it.
So, they're out for now. Sorry.
You know some Avatar
Need some personality up on these boards
I don't know what that avatar is from, but it made me laugh.
It's not Tuesday
Is too. Over here.
Joe Rollins, Scion of Hephaestus!
