FWIW Echo's not trying to play softly at all he's likely audible through most of the house.

Lance's hands ball into fists. "I'll kill him," he growls, his voice low. "I'll kill the bastard."

should be interesting if Lance actually attacks Echo. It's beeen a long time since Echo was in an combat scene.

[yamikuronue]

lol, Lance meant Siegfried, who he specifically told not to let anyone touch the piano https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" />

[accalia]

hmm well siegfried didn't stop Echo... https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f604.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="smile" alt=":smile:" title="smile" />

and Echo would be compelled to defend Siegfried, unless explicitly told by Siegfried to leave off. not a nice curse Echo is under.

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried is pleased to hear there's one more person between him and imminent death https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" />

[accalia]

hmm.... this could be very interesting then... let's hope the showdown isn't in the great hall.... things get broken in big fights.

or alternatively Obsidian could sit on Lance until he calms down.

[yamikuronue]

Yeah, Obsidian is line of defense number one. Echo is line two, and then Lance's desire to not actually kill anyone would be three, and then Siegfried's abilty to run really really fast https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" />

[accalia]

good to know.

also, just incase anyone figures out that Echo is under a curse don't just blindly try to dispell it please.... one of the things the curse is doing is actually keeping Echo alive right now... remove the curse and Echo will die.

[yamikuronue]

Lance knows jack-all about magic, though Obsidian usually knows a decent amount... enough to know that you don't go poking at things blindly anyway https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" />

jusdt thought i'd mention it OOC. one of the previous runs with Echo our healer decided to do a dispell curse on echo and was vary surprised when Echo went thermonuclear on her.

literally.

the system in use there meant that the curse energy was not destroyed and she failed to capture it..... so Echo went boom with extreme alacrity.

that was an odd magic system though. the idea that dispelling a curse can kill the entire party, their target, and reduce 3/4 of a city to rubble (we did the math after, turns out there was too much energy in his curse in that game) was a bit... off.

I love it.... but in a world where that's the case, blindly casting dispel should be an act of terrorism https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-one/static/images/1f606.png" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-parsed" data-set-id="emoji-one" data-emoji-id="laughing" alt="XD" title="XD" />

I was all set to join a game that died before it got off the ground in which using magic drained your life force, so the more magic you did, the shorter your life was. I apped a pair of twins in which one of them appeared ot have gotten around that restriction and was casting for "free"... Three guesses what the secret was

[accalia]

they used their twin's life force.

easy.

and yeah that system went through five or six more revisions to try and refine that effect but we could never do it without nerfing the idea that magic obeys the laws of thermodynamics (the energy has to come from somewhere/go somewhere)

although to be fair the healer failed her cast to detect how big the curse was and so was expecting enough energy to produce a bit of hot air being released, not enough energy to flatten most of a city....

[accalia]

oh and pass for Echo. nothing much to add and i don't want him to rush LancevsObsidian.
