It Belongs to a Museum

We're already halfway there to being a Muppet ourselves.

Real Old Tom

Real Old Tom was one of the pirates in Muppet Treasure Island. He resembles a mummified version of Old Tom. Kevin Clash performed the character during the roll call scene, while Dave Goelz performs him for his solo in "Cabin Fever." He is one of the pirates who stays aboard to guard the ship...

As much as I would adore contributing to the carcinization of academia, the space constraints are prohibitive.

My preferred second choice would have to be the Island for a combination of space, global accessibility, and aesthetic. This however poses unacceptable accessibility issues for the average or lower class in Awakening itself.

Therefore I propose we go for the Island and have one of our more promising new students raise us a Leviathan for use as a free ferry to and from the city.

This is the only other choice I'm even remotely considering Since I think making the Muppets is even more insane than crab museum and besides Crab I wanted to match Luthor's insanity

(Note I don't think any of the other options are bad, they're just not Crab Museum and I'm the Crab Guy. And I will not rest until we get a crab somehow in this quest!!! Can we get a familiar as a liche priest?)

We can make a crab for personal transportation later.
Museum needs more room (and muppets) than there is in a crab.
 
Honestly I'm having a hard time visualising the crab museum—and I've played Morrowind, where one of the major factions houses their entire government within the shell of a dead crab (later on, during an invasion, they reanimated it into a terrifying death mecha).
 
Animated crab, animated muppet...
It's basicly just a soul you have stuffed inside a <thing> to move them in either case.
Could make a stone crab if/when we brush up on war statuary.

To be fair I'm still only voting Crab Museum not because I think it will win, but out of principle and the bit (though if I need to vote for island to have it win over the other options I will as it's my second choice, I just like making the votes interesting)

Though none of those options for crabs are as funny as Crab Museum, but honestly Crab Familiar is incredibly funny even if we can't get a familiar as a liche priest. There needs to be more weird animal familiar representations, not just dogs, cats, and bird! Give me Crab Familiar! Capybara Familiar! Dung Beetle Familiar!

Edit: we can not get a familiar, idk how to feel about War Statuary Crab yet compared to actual Crab. Though if we have any students than can get familiars I suggest some like the ones above

From Beloved of the End.
Also, amusingly similar to 'Merry wreck', although that is just a coincidence.

Having slept on it and caught up with all the arguments for various I still gotta say I'm leaning Bespoke over everything else. We came here because we wanted to teach a few of the locals, and I really want to take advantage of being able to completely customize the design of our museum. Plenty of room to expand freely is just icing on the cake.

Imagine having our massive collection of forbidden lore, dark grimores, and forgotten history be in a comfortable, nice, and well-lit building? An extremely welcoming museum accessible to all who want to come by and learn from Uncle Liche Priest, who'd just love to teach you for the sake of it.

Also frankly, I just want to run a cool undead museum on the Vampire Coast, not go globe trotting. Leviathan is the worst of all of this for me, sacrificing both space to actually store the shit we're given to hold on to and being less easily welcoming do to making people walk in through the teeth for unparalleled mobility I personally don't care for.

Mouth serves as the doorway, the rest of the body is hollowed out and used as the museum space. We could add some wood blanks to create floors and walls within the abdomen to create designated places for exhibits and carve out stairs from chitin within the body. We could use magic for light or carve out designated places for lamps from chitin.

The magical knowledge you have is not compatible with animal familiars. If you learn an appropriate form of magic you could bind a crab as a familiar.

What about undead crab muppet familiar that would sing about our exhibits during interactive tours and kill lobsters with lasers?

How about [ ] Lahmekhuggar or [ ] Omegnefer? My attempt to fuse Omegahugger's name with either Lahm- or Nefer- and make it vibe with Nehekharan.

Of all the Omegahugger options pitched so far Lahmekhuggar sounds like it would be the easiest in the mouth of an english speaker, so if I had to pick one that's where I would go I think.
 
I was hoping this version of the main character would be a joy to read, and it is. He's the right kind of insightful and good-spirited to make the quest fun, I think. And it's nice that he's come along right as Luthor Harkon has just the right job for him.

Also, this is right up Omegahugger's alley to comical degrees. It's like their eternal forlorn dream come to life.

I'm leaning towards Island. Hulk is also nice, but means that any display we do has to be able to float, and limits us in that way. I'm fine with having the museum itself be stationary. After all, we want seekers of knowledge to be able to reliably find us more than we want to go and push it in the face of the ungrateful.

Which Luthor Harkon do you meet today?

Any plans to keep the roll results consistent? As in, does it make sense keep notes on which roll aligns with what kind of behavior?

Elspeth von Draken would have Surface.

I assume that the scale was adapted to the fact that we play a Liche Priest and would probably have looked very different if we had played a non-Elf mortal or a much younger undead?

No, it just would have taken a bit more creativity on my part to come up with how the options in Part 4 came to be world-class experts in specific fields. Luthor was never going to just plop the job in the lap of some random sailor, it was always going to go to someone exceptional for one reason or another, and that would have gone for the other patrons too.
 
[X] [NAME] trazyn solemance
[X] [PLACE] Hulk
Trazyn in the floating museum ship plenty of room for expansion and defense via cannons that are also an exhibit potential for unusual or unexpected guests possibility to acquire more artifacts via raiding if necessary and a genuine chance to learn how the magic of the vampire coast really works via first hand experience while also teaching other people things the impudent tutor shall partake of double the learning activities learning himself and teaching others.

Ah. I guess I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of even a well traveled Norscan sage or renowned Altdorf academician to have been alive long enough to have Minutiae knowledge on anything when Elspeth (who IIRC is very old) is limited to Surface knowledge on her chosen field of expertise. What you say now sounds like you are also alluding to Elspeth being underqualified to run a proper Death Magic museum.

Or... Maybe I am still very confused about the scale and how it applies to the kinds of knowledge that mortals are experts on.
