Can't lie, a lot of this has been confusing. The worlds are so different, intense and malicious (even the parts that aren't considered an afront to the heavens, seem quite...rigid), so i cant imagine putting that all down and making it make sense. I can't help rooting for Levi. Anyone who's gone through half of what he's gone through- esp with the messed up Angel's test- deserves peace and freedom. And even with everything, 'monster' and 'whore' are the first thing people think. smh this under world though. Wolf to me is the most confusing entity in here. Whats his other half for? Why does that menace have any power over him? Why can't leviathan end that half? Can't wait for ch27. Why this litch won't just let the former prisoners be great is a mystery. Thank you for the review Yes, There is alot of things going on. Considering, I went the extra mile and not only stat’ed but busted out a buttload of minis and a portable banquet table and am actually playing this by hand. The first turn took a little over three hours. Cause Its the finale and I was like fuck it pull out all the stops. Its the battle that’s been building since the beginning and to skip anything would be an injustice. I went back and put POV’s cause there’s what amounts to a zombie apocalypse in the top floors and a boss battle at its depths. The Battle Of Undermountain is underway. I’m trying to cut down the chaos and desperately hoping its readable and enjoyable. Levi- By far is and always will be one of my favorite characters. He could have been bitter and resentful towards the world. By personal choice he’s not. He just wants to live in it by his own terms even if the whole world will only see him as a monster or as some whore. You are very astute. Miriam, is the only one who has actively engaged, participated in and actively hunted down other sapient beings all because of their silver eyes. To answer that question. I have to ask this. Was Wolf a man that lived as a beast or is he a beast that has lived as a man? Is he one or the other? Which matters most if one loses what the other is? The Silver Eyes aren’t insane as they truly do have another voice in their head. The ability to become a monster with a need for the passion of others is all dependant on the person. And none manifest the same way. If Leviathan just ups and murders Damien. It could make Wolf brain dead. Killing a being that is quite literally part of you is not mentally healthy. Especially if that being will do anything to ensure your survival regardless of your wishes. That astute observation is quite fascinating. Why indeed did morovith capture them and imprison them when he could have just let time do his dirty work and kill them. What benefit could there be to capture people and place them in a prison where they will never grow old, infirm and die of natural causes.

I was a dead star shone red into the infinite dark I bled
A dying city my inhabitants long dead
maintenance kept me just shy of that envied flat-line
My roots dug deep
your branches mixed with mine and my roots together entwine with thee and thine
Until I could no longer tell were you me?
Or was I mine?
Did I bleed out? Or did you bleed in?
A death that lasted yet was not mine
But was thee and thine
Here at the end
Time’s Den
To see with Dead and Dying sight
A strange mix of you and me
and through thine blooded light
A stranger’s might.
Impossibly bright.
Beginning.

Dying star, burn still bright
Cling to Life with all your might
The ampitheatre's long abanroned
The city's gone and left you stranded
Your empty audience lies dreaming strange
You stand, unheeded on it's stage
But somewhere else your light has travelled
The darkness that it's touched unravelled
Some will will drink your crimson light
Some won't know the subtle light
But out there, somewhere, your light will find
Another soul to touch and guide
Even unseen, your beauty shines
And will be treasured, by all who find.
So stand tall and proud, and enjoy the show.
Your life has reach you'll never know.

Note to self check the weather before going on the nightly jog.
Barely a mile in and I get blindsided with a duststorm. Good old AZ
Where grit and sand get into places they were never meant to go

I can relate. Last year I spent an hour hiding under a bridge because I got caught in a massive rainstorm while biking home. My wife couldn’t even come pick me up because the streets were flooded.

Had to throw the shirt and gym shorts out. It was like the grit had become solidly enmeshed in the fabric and like hell I’m gonna ruin the washer and I’m not willing to have sandy clothes every time I wash.
Hahah lessons were learned.

One time me and a buddy went for a run without checking the weather and some how missed that there was an active tornado watch in the area. Halfway into the run, the skies got dark, like might as well have been night, winds were threatening to uproot trees (and us) and it started raining sideways. We had to take shelter in a nearby building until it passed.

Any tips on writing a boss battle?
Thinking on maybe doing Raid Boss style. Haha
Ghoulneedle after needs needs a fitting ending.
-
I've seen some examples, I might be able to help. How many participants, how powerful are they and what established combat methods have they shown?

Boss is an epic 25th level wizard with Wiz 20/Archmage 5 (Homebrew)
With the following buffs
-Warden Of Undermountain. The Wards of Undermoutain protects its master granting damage reduction based on how many prisoners are interred in Undermountain.
- Heart Of Undermountain- Great power is drawn from demons and other fell horrors trapped in the demon level. Once per the lich’s turn. Morovith can attempt to draw on this wellspring of power but may take no other action this turn. Roll a d100.
And one passive
- Spellcraft Phylactery- As long as the epic spell Darkened Sky exists. Shielding the necrocracy from the damaging effects of the sun. Morovith cannot be permanently destroyed and will return in 3d20 years. As long as Morovith exists Darkened Sky cannot be suppressed or dispelled with its effects resuming in 3d6 rounds. If Morovith sacrifices an epic level spell. The effects resume immediately.

I would use the term Hand or Keeper Agent could work too. Nobility generally had servants to buy things that could damage their social standing or reputation. Typically, personal vendors, hand-servants, housekeepers, servant managers etc... Essentially, intermediaries or intermediaries of intermediaries whether or not the items were too base( How boorish) Put you in suspicion(what are you a criminal?) Or just plain weird as hell (what do you mean he wants 36 watermelons cut at a 34 degree angle and heated to exactly 89.5 degrees) These vendors would be given a purse and instructed to buy whatever the noble in question wanted. Provided they didn’t draw attention to themselves, attempt to rip off the noble, steal and or ripoff said noble or noble house they were pretty much intentionally obscured and you’d never know the person next to you might be a fellow-commoner or a vendor/servant of a noble. Depending on how snobbish the rich are. (Like servants are not meant to be seen) To (Why is this commoner talking to me?) to even (Holy shit! poor people are real) There might be several layers of intermediaries each with their own functions regarding to Law, Trading, Storage and Delivery, Personal Items, Arts and other luxuries. Etc... There could be an entire complex social industry powered by the nobility for the express purpose to remove the nobility altogether from the common day to day. Like celebrities on steroids. So far removed the common folk that they simply can’t conceive non-nobility life.

Haha. it was supposed to say I enjoy the slow burn you got going haha. I know for a fact that you could give GoT a much better ending than what we got.

Unattractive, but Redeemable Flaws
InvidiaRed replied to CloverReef's topic in Original Character Development
Contrasts also work great. If the world is pessimistic but the character is staunchly optimistic. Or in a world where everyone doubts themselves. That one character just straight up loves themselves. Humanity is so wonderfully diverse. having characters answer existential stuff can provide that blissful breath of life that makes your character far more real. A microcosm in an macrocosm. Do we shape existence as existence shapes us? Are we alone in the universe because we perceive ourselves to be alone in the universe? What if death is as limited as life? The question of I The ramifications of the meaning of life being different for everyone What if there is no glory in war? The massive implications of single individuals decisions helping shape history. Why is apathy worse than death? Etc... -
Finally, someone else referenced Hamlet.

Dreams are weird. This thing could rupture universes by will alone and cause stars to supernova by looking at them.
Its galaxies were breathtaking works of art. Somehow it knew I pitied it and that pity was an insult. For all its power it just didn’t have that spark required for life. Like having all the ingredients for a recipe but still somehow missing a vital component. Sorta like wanting to make a pizza but not having an oven.
It said life was pointless but I’ve never known the answer so inherently.
I said the point of life was to live. That it had no right to insult even a single living cell. Since they just by existing were doing what they were meant to.
Its worlds were beautiful. In a sad sorta away for the one thing they all had in common was that they were devoid of life and always would be. It is the height of tragedy that all that beauty and breathtaking views were for it and it alone. And I couldn’t help but pity it.

An echo of sentience, unable to shift from it's predetermined path or turn against it's nature.
Funnily enough, this is roughly how I understand the ideas of angels not having free will.

Sometimes I do not wish to dream.
For it's impolite to see with eyes that are not yours.

It could also be this. “Yes, Operator can you connect me to Olenna Penticrest? Why yes I’ll gladly pay the long distance charge. Yes, That is the account I want you to charge it to. Yes, You have a lovely day as well.” One must be nice to the operators only the uncouth could be rude as the common folk. Like that plan wrecker adventurer Taven Clearwater. The mirror shimmered and a wizened woman appeared dressed the only way a rich dowager could. Her white hair expertly braided and interwoven with satin ribbons. “Olenna Penticrest?” “Who is this?” Olenna asked as she peered into her mirror and attempted to squint. “I merely wanted to congratulate you for raising Taven. Did you hear the news? Taven helped end that dreadful kobold infestation. You did a wonderful job taking in your grandson.” He gushed awhile on the superb upbringing she provided. He waited patiently watching as the tension in her shoulders dissipated. It was a treat to watch that wizened old face light up in joy. After all, She was the handmaiden who picked up the baby and ran as the princess was slain in her own rooms. He so disliked his plans being fucked over by scion of that princess. Ignorant of the dangers that was all around him. Taven was strong. but were those around him? When one trod on the toes of dragons… The resulting talons were an inevitability. He lamented the loss of this mirror but mirrors were replaceable. “I have intruded upon your time long enough. So I shall take my leave.” “Die” The mirror cracked from the sheer force of his magic. The shards flying in all directions. But not before his spell thundered through. snuffing out her life with a single word. The look of surprise was delightful. The mirror network had enabled certain possibilities. He had merely discovered the ability the network had to transmit high powered spells… Provided they were vocal. But he was experimenting with the Symbol spells to see if those worked just as well. He scratched a mark on the wall. There were half a dozen similar marks. How many connections did Taven have to his mother? One less. “Servants I require another mirror” They cowardly provided. Truly, He lamented sending that assassin. He should have gone himself. Sometimes one had to manually prune withered branches and this was no different. Let Taven have his extraplanar adventure. There would be no connection anchoring him to this world when he returned. The dragon smiled. He’d make sure of that.

Absolutely true. But there is an element of horror as well. It would mean at the basic level an antagonist would target the switchboard operator analog first. The headquarters would have to be heavily defended.( Adventurers heroically holding off the orc army while the operators do their best to call for reinforcements. ) And not to mention now the antagonist now has the means to go after not just you. But your family, your loved ones and your friends. And while your PC can shrug off DC 15 saving throw(such as suggestion.) granny ain’t making it. Especially from something like power word kill through the phone analog. I.G. (modern threats confronted in a fantasy medium can help people deal with said new threats.)
-
<3 see you thought of it and that what is important. As society gets more comfortable long-range comm will make it into fantasy as well. Think like the start of a new age type thing.
-
Well just imagine magic users having access to the internet analog while the rest of the mundane world is barely out of the middle ages. No wonder regular people think the magic users are crazy or eccentric. When it just turns out they have their own Webspeak(Mirrorspeech) Sorta like how your grand parents don’t really know the internet. But just the entire nonmagical population in general. Now it makes more sense. Magic users would have their own complete culture to themselves. Like redditors arguing the ethics of using animate dead to create tireless servants. Or the arguments of Divine vs Arcane… And then Psionics get involved cause why not.
-
Well its even more confusing now cause now. The MTG verse is part of the D&D with the addition of Ravnica as a plane.

I’m a 3.5 fan myself. Edition 4 was attempting to make the RPG too much like a video game… Without graphics. And I’m still up in the air about the edition five since all they seem to do is have Mystra get hit with a bus at the end of every edition.
-
Yes. This is one of the best ways. They/Them could work. You don’t want to use the word “it” . Cause it a dehumanizing in a sense but also the least informative word to give. Unless the character isn't human at all.
