Re: Project Horizons RP thread

((I was wondering if that shadow travel thing looks something like this. I'm talking about the portal the guy uses of course.))

[Guest]

((Basically, yes. Except since Whisper doesn't really know what he's doing, the portal doesn't always open on the ground.))

[Guest]

((Or in the same town. Though now since he can do that those follower missions will be safer.))

[Guest]

((Yeah, he just has to figure how to do that with more then person with him, which he probably should be able too by the Azure starts going. Also I should note, while he's doing that, time doesn't really work. So, what takes him two minutes to walk to the next portal is really like an hour or two of travel if that makes sense.))

[Guest]

((What do you mean? Like he's walking for two minutes in the shadow dimension but it's two hours in the real world? Or Vice versa?))

[Guest]

((Two hours in the real world.))

[MrMagma]

((Basically [if I've interpreted this correctly] shadow magic creates it's own 'false reality', so to speak, where time isn't really relevant. Taking a few minutes to walk from one portal to the next in said 'false reality' would 'convert' to the equivalent time [say, for example, a day of 'normal' travel] to walking the distance in reality. If that helps at all. I'm not the best at wording things.))

[Guest]

((That sounds about right, except maybe it would be about the same time it takes the group to fly somewhere(Mainly for the sake of him showing up in time.)So, technically if one was good enough with shadow magic they could have a longer lifespan, but they have a high likely hood of going insane, since they would be in a dark and silent place with no way to tell how long they have been there.))

[MrMagma]

((A mildly related question, would shadow travel cause an effect similar to jet lag after covering a larger distance?))

[Guest]

((Most likely, but that's assuming the one doing the spell doesn't knock themselves out by landing on their head.))

[Guest]

((Not very useful for combat (At least not for attacking you'd go in and your opportunity would have passed by the time you exited.) but I can see the application for long distance travel. Also the longer life thing makes sense but I don't see anyone making that trade off.))

[MrMagma]

((After all the unlucky stuff like that, I think pretty much everyone's Luck skill is over-exaggerated by at least 2 points.))

[Katarn]

((When we discussed Moody's 8 in Luck (I believe), we figured out, that it's not 'false stat number' it how, despite all, what keep happening to him, he manage to survive. So it's not about 'bad stuff doesn't happening at all' it about how bad beaten up you've come out from this situations.))

[Guest]

((Well I'm not so sure it's bad luck all the time. That branch hitting Moody could have simply been him not taking notice of it which I think would be a lack of perception.))

[MrMagma]

((Oh, I see. I probably missed that discussion, or just forgot. That makes sense, I guess.))

[Guest]

((Yeah, it's not intended for combat really. What you could do, and what Shadow used it for, is that you could trap someone in one with you and mess with their head. And yeah, they don't it's just possible to do it.))

[Guest]

((Actually putting someone in the Shadow dimension sorta reminds me of those Cryo pods in PH.))

[Moodyman90]

((Yeah, and honestly Luck doesn't really effect gameplay as far as I can tell in NV. Other then I can't make certain checks and I guess less crits, my Moodstone playthrough hasn't suffered from low luck. And I dropped from the 4 planned for the RP to 1 for laugh in the game.

But as far as the RP goes, Moody has a Luck based of 7 and thanks to the totem we got all that time ago it's up at 8 since he never takes it off.
And even with a high luck, it's just more fun to have Moody be injury prone. The RP sure thinks so cause I once rolled for a Luck check in combat and I still ended up getting hit by that barrage from that slaver with the grenade machinegun.))

[Aonee]

((Was it a machine gun? I thought it was just a rifle. Oh and now I have both a Gauss Rifle and an AM Rifle. Woo, even of I can't really use either right now. Eh. Also I kind of like the holorifle I got from DM, but I find myself liking the Laser Rifle more, so I stick with that. And I have no subtly at all because I took the perk that makes everything blow up like a plasma grenade when you kill it.))

[Moodyman90]

((I remember him being loaded with grenade machinegun battle saddle.

And I pretty much ran out of Explosive based Perks in my game. Guess I need to go with Melee and Stealth ones now.))

[Aonee]

((I've ran out of perks I truly want as well, what level are you at? I ran out around 25-30, I think.))

[Guest]

((So we've got some down time. Anyone got any ideas for what to do until Jacky gets on?))

[Aonee]

((I don't even know. We could try a future scene between people or something.))

[MrMagma]

((I was going to suggest the same.))

[Guest]

((I did have a funny, short one in mind for Sakura and Red, but I promised a while back that I'd stop doing them because I'd done too many.))

[Aonee]

((I'm fine with it, not like too many is a bad thing.))

[Guest]

((Future scenes are always nice.))

[Guest]

Spoiler:

[Aonee]

((What are they doing dropping it off at Moody's shop, Aonee is probably the one that built it.))

Spoiler:

[Guest]

((I have no idea, I came up with this scene for one joke. Before I continue I need to know if Red would know about the AIs yet.))
