You can try me. I havnt really tested Kraytor in combat yet.

[Ravager Zero]

More than just a little sparring there.

My reaction upon reading that update.

Well, that was quite awesome. I appear to have gained the ability to use mysticism, and I'm using it to be a Jedi. Nice. Can you post up the list of canticles again? They were lost and I've forgotten what school mysticism is in.

Hey, it just occurred to me that Galithir might have been able to Jedi mind trick people with illusionism. It would appear that force is strong with their family .

Oh, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but Kahlan does have a surname. The reason she hasn't mentioned it is because she doesn't like being called Miss Pleasant. Galithir avoided using it too.

Excellent use of my second favourite show.

Mysticism is under Deaze. It's also just a generic term I use for people's understanding of magick.

Yes, he could have.
And no. You have the wrong Disney franchise.

You have not.
Now that you do, it becomes hilarious.



Magic draws from Essence, a 'wind' of magic that exists in another plane, forms Skeins, can be drawn from and/or manipulated in its raw form. Can be Enmeshed into real materials, altering their properties.

[Mabbz]

Hmm... As I recall, it's only possible to learn canticles from adjacent schools, so Kahlan isn't using true Mysticism. She just has a decent level of skill and understanding of how magick works. Pity, I quite like the idea of being a healer/mystic/rogue. Ah well, at least I get to play tennis with magick .

Oh, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but Kahlan does have a surname. The reason she hasn't mentioned it is because she doesn't like being called Miss Pleasant. Galithir avoided using it too.

You have not.

I actually came up with that around the same time I made Kahlan. I got bored of waiting for the right moment to mention it.

[Scout Sergeant Mkoll]

Bloody mages get all the fun abilities.

Ah well, I have a plan for the ultimate boss fight already. Assuming Oan survives that long that is.

EDIT: Mabbz, you're in a smith's workshop and you're asking if there's any hammers about? Really?

[The Man They Call Jayne]

I decided to skip the hammers

Well we have an excellent, if non lethal fight post again. Wooo!

Because of how the canticles are  balanced up there, I have a tricky time working out exactly what I am able to do with Kraytor. He doesn't technically fit, not like Ja'nus did. Ja'nus was simple, fire, earth, magma. Nice.

Coming up with the more exotic abilities Kraytor might have is somewhat more complex. And using some of his powers might risk harming the party at the same time and the bigger attacks tend to draw on the life energy around him.

Being practically invisible in the woods, and trusted in any city doesn't do it for you?
Not all awesome abilities are combat related.

Prepares ton of bricks
you saw nothing.

I decided to skip the hammers

Today we mark the hundredth anniversary of Kraytor's death. We salute the inventor of the magick hammer. [aka, the nailgun ]

[The Man They Call Jayne]

See. . .now you make me want to re-write that scene so that I stack all of the planks into the right places then simply launch the nails from the other side of the yard into the wood

[Mabbz]

If that last post seemed to intellectual for a street healer, then bear in mind that Galithir wouldn't have let his only daughter grow up on the streets. I can put up a full biography if you want, but suffice it to say she had some formal training in magick (among other things) as a child.

Trusted in any city you say? I didn't expect that. I thought that'd havea fairly limited range due to the town I'm from being quite small. By comparison anyway.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

Rangers get about, they have a reputation I would assume. They know many customs and all that jazz. Of course, that could be abused by some I suppose.

[Scout Sergeant Mkoll]

Abuse you say? As if any of us would ever try to abuse such things.

[Ravager Zero]

A small update.
Slowly bringing the group back together.
