Theo Anders and the Black Exaltation[Worm/Exalted][Hiatus]

Stunt
It wasn't hard to read Panacea, she might have been a renown healer... but mentally, she was just an overstressed teenage girl. One who was delighted to find someone that she was attracted to that wasn't her adopted sister. How delightfully scandalous.

To win her, no, to seduce her from New Wave and Victoria... that would be something that you would like, your father would approve, hell... the majority of the Empire would approve. It was as if there was a convergence of desires; yours and your extended family's.

Thus, as you led her to a secluded area near the ladies' washroom, you spoke to her. Your words and essence danced together, as you wove understanding into her tired and stressed mind. You educated her on how and why New Wave abused her good nature. Of the way that Brandish didn't see her as her daughter, of the way that Victoria took advantage of her healing powers...

Slowly, steadily, you corrupted her emotional connection to New Wave... more than that, you charmed her the way only the ideal Prince Charming could... you could see how she wanted you, needed you, loved and adored you far more than she ever did the harpy Vicky. Why, if she were more daring, her... used panties would easily be yours without you asking for them, all it would take would be a smile from you.

You reached out with one hand, to hold her chin with your thumb and forefinger to direct her gaze at you. The implied intimacy had her blushing again. You responded to her blush with a slight curve of your lips, revealing your pearly whites just so...

The results were almost predictable by this point.

Shortly after, you ended your conversation with the be-smitten Panacea as Vista and your Sabah stepped out of the ladies, you smiled warmly at the two... your instincts having you continue on as you had with Panacea. Still, it was clear that Vista had done much to comfort Sabah.

"My thanks, Vista," you smiled warmly at her and then looked at Sabah. "I trust you're doing better? You had looked rather... distraught."

Your smile at Sabah spoke gladness that she was fine or appeared to be so. More than that, your nod spoke of your gratitude at Vista. A simple acknowledgement between equals that stated that you were glad for her help and that you owed her a favor to be repaid in the future.

Bii this isn't a Stunt its an attempt to write the quest.

A stunt is a single to three sentenced action. The LONGEST is a paragraph.

Defined Actions and use of the surrounding.

Three dice are when the character actively uses the environment to assist the action. Which is harder then it sounds, some storytellers are more lenient then others.
 
Bloodshifter Ive made a couple of different posts about stunts and what is and what isn't acceptable. I'll try to dig them up.

Snake/Eater You can't really stunt an intimacy. You're supposed to replace '???' With how you define tdps relationship with Sabah. Like aster is (best little sister).

Here is the big part of what I ruled earlier on stunts.

Is what the core book says. And that works fairly well for a game in which you communicate verbally. But we have lots of time, not just an afternoon. So lengthier stunts aimed at being 2-die are acceptable. And Bii's current stunt has a lot more wiggle room than the one previous, I can fill it with dialogue. You also have the opportunity to suggest your own stunt.

Sorry but, it really is too long and forces the Storyteller(you) to have the NPC follow an script even if the dice might decide otherwise. Stunts shouldn't directly move the NPC's without directly having the PC involved in Bii's stunt we see one, Panacea and Theo which SHOULD end the Stunt and the scene. Which is an lengthy two die stunt. Two, changing the scene when just talking to Panacea takes an Major or Minor slot over to Vista, expecting these two to not have separated by the time Panacea is beginning to doubt her ties with her (adopted) family. Another Minor/Major Action. Three, he is writing in Amy's response to Theo without dice being rolled yet. Something that should be a definite no no as even 34 Dice Pool E8 Solars can end up Botching, I'll never forget that moment my Solar mate completely failed at convincing an E3 Dragon Blooded guard to let us out of the city with a bribe, that scene can go a hundred ways depending on our rolls and how willing she is on spending willpower or ingoring our social attack.
 
You have good points. Here are mine:

Bii is describing Amy's response. If the rolls don't go Theo's way(or Amy spends willpower), well, Bii doesn't get that response and I get to cook one up.

Its sorta like a critical fail in D&D where the DM gets to tell you how fucked you are. I remember rolling that one at a prime time and my character subsequently got pummeled (and killed) by another fighter and the other fighter's cleric sister. After chopping into my own foot with my axe. Making me unable to run away.

They might even get interrupted by a now composed Sabah, before Theo can finish swaying Panacea to his pov and only achieve a partial victory. Just like Shadow Stalker interrupted our Vista time with her freak out.

Bii also hasn't accounted for a couple somethings. There will be consequences and/or parts of Tanuki's stunt/plan completely ignored.

These are the risks Bii's stunt takes.

I have felt that, yeah, I am kinda following something of a script in previous posts. I've been looking for ways to take such a detailed or a longer stunt and break it up and down so its less script like without going back and being like 'Yeah, that isn't really working anymore, could you please stop that?'

People also keep voting for them. Pretty sure you're the first to go: 'Nope too long.'

I've already said they're alright. And what is accepted as a stunt is ST discretion, plus golden rule. And Rule the IV:

Skitzyfrenic said:
Narrative is King. This is far more an exercise in interactive storytelling than one in storytelling and mechanics. Not everything is going to get a roll, sometimes Theo will get an auto succeed or an auto botch, other times I will actually break out 13d10 and roll each one.

Which leads nicely into:

It helps me out quite a bit as I can plan for things like TDP botching his rolls, and surprises I want to throw in to force a roll to botch, or ways I want to tweak things to make it succeed, because it takes a bit of the creative load off of me. Which is big for me because first time in a ST type position. I usually only have to worry about one character, not a whole cast of them. And being as ADD as I am, this can cause things like(but not limited to): punching canon in the face in a way I didn't want to (eg the first world building snip re:Rune), mischaracterization that I have to adjust later with storytelling (re:Kaiser, Sabah), mischaracterizing characters that I've been characterizing because canon doesn't really have enough to go off of, and other things. I barely getting it to hold together as is.

Ummmm. I think that's everything I wanted to cover.
 
[X] Plan Snake

What Do?:
[X] Go with Amy

XP Purchases:
[X] Bank

Sabah (A true friend and uncomfortably confidante)
[X] Before you became a prince, you had always felt so alone. Because of the chaos called your family, you had...no choice but to build a wall around your heart. The constant abuse from your father coupled with his expectations forced you to turn away from human warmth. Though while your baby sister Aster did give some rare moments of solace whenever you held her, she was still too young to understand you. You were just a sturdy wall pressed against a sea of faces, forever solitary.

But that was then, whatever the Dark Lady did to you, she broke...no obliterated that damned wall that trapped your heart and The Dark Prince was born. You feel more alive then ever before, whether it was chance or fate that you met Sabah, while you sense that she is not as trapped as you were, something is still shackling her. She is the first of your court and a possible true friend or something more that is not weighed down by the possible knowledge of who your family is and what you used to be.

You are The Dark Prince and Sabah will be your rock, to push, humble and strengthen you in your merriment, business and convictions and likewise to her.

[X] 1 Major and 1 Minor (Panacea)
-[X] Charm Panacea into giving you her number,so you can go out with her.
-[X] try and make some small talk to get to know the real Panacea.
-[X] Use personal motes for Exquisite Etiquette Style [1m], 2nd Presence Excellency [4m], and Scathing Cynic Attitude [3m] leaving you with 1 mote left.

[X] Stunt
You follow the healer of New Wave, this is the moment you have waited for so long. She found you worthy to be her equal. You are a prince and your heart is racing and your thoughts are spinning, whatever she has to say, you can hopefully mold the situation in your hands to win her favor and free her from her family and their draconian expectations.

You have finally stopped, this is the moment you have waited for so long, what you have risked Sabah's life and career for, to come out of this empty handed would have been a grave insult to her.

I fixed my mistakes in my plan and add the stunt i forgot.....:oops: that was a little embarrassing but a lesson is learned and all that afterschool special crap.

Looks nice... but your charm use... or rather costs involved needs revision.

2nd Charm Excellency MUST be spend in blocks of 2 motes. ie each success bought costs 2 motes each.
And Scathing Cynic Attitude costs 3 motes.

Tanuki uses mysterious tanuki magic of retconmancy which is not shady at all to divine good plans. :3

Also Bii has voted for other plans in this quest as well.... soh, its not all plan bii... :3
 
There are a lot less people on the weekends. I was thinking of closing the vote around midday tomorrow, but maybe I'll let it ride until Monday, and just do something omakey tomorrow instead of an update.
 
One possible issue with Plan Bii: Gallant knows there is something funny going with TDP. While he isn't incredibly close to her, any all too sudden changes in Amy's behavior may set off red flags.

OTOH, Triumph 'knows' that we're a vial cape and wants to talk us into the Wards. He may nudge Gallant into doing nothing, so as to not disrupt his own pitch.

    The Unconquered Sun knew something was up. Being as perfect and excellent as he was, he knew when Luna was smug, but not smug.

    All that smug made him want to bend hir over and fuck the smug out of her.

    Unfortunately for the Unconquered Sun, the Emerald Mother wielded this nasty wooden spoon.

    He had to know.

    "Luna..."

    "Sun..."

    "Why are you so smug?"

    "I now know what the fuck an alicorn is! Eat that you golden asshole! And -my- alicorn is way better than yours!"

    And that was how the UCS was introduced to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and stopped playing the Games of Divinity.

    Creation suffered even worse than before. For even the Fates had been turned into Pegasisters by the Brony the UCS.

    *Skitzy is smacked by a golden wing*

    I mean, the Alicorn Prince The Unconquered Stallion: Element of Magic and the five destined Element bearers the Fillies of Fate.

    Meanwhile on Earth Bet

    "Well, that was easier than I expected," the Dark Prince said as he turned to look at his circle mate, the Queen of Carrion.

    "Surely our valiant victory, violently fought, was fortuitously fraught with fright to feed upon."

    Behind them lay a shattered, broken, and dying Simurgh. In front of them stood the gaping Triumvirate.

    "Princess Vista has arrived to fu- I mean celebrate with her future husband!"

    A teal-white pega-corn landed next to the Queen of Carrion. Looking for the suddenly missing Dark Prince.

    "Hesitant husbands have absconded e're arrival of adolescent affections."

    The winged unicorn and the tall svelte woman glared at one another.

    Brockton Bay's reception of the Simurgh ended in under ten minutes with 12 death and 43 casualties. The subsequent battle between two powerful female parahumans resulted in 400 deaths and over one thousand casualties.
