We have access to Solar Charms. 10/10. Would make deal with malevolent crazed ghost of Anathema for power again.
If there is cause for conflict I fully expect you to be the one to instigate it.But if there is cause for conflict, it's better to be sure and agree upon it in advance.
My personal experience when it comes to freeing ancient beings from imprisonment/banishment comes from tabletop campaigns. All but one of them took only a token amount of time to appreciate their second chance at life, and then promptly went to nursing their millennia old grudges dragging us in conflicts we wanted to have no part in.Of course, of course, just let me enjoy the moment, would you? he says, and you know the tone. The one of a man feeling the sunlight on their skin after spending half their life in the Despot's dungeons.
Is that how Ten feels all the time? Poor thing.You pick yourself back up and look at Steals properly, suddenly aware that everything she has on her person is stolen. Your mind starts by itself on assembling a dossier of her potential misdeeds (and it's a long list!) before you stop yourself.
The trick is to yoink it to someone else after we got the pursuers chasing properly.I will never give up the badge of a parkour detective.
But do we have the endurance to drag the Chest (although now it's just a chest, I suppose) with us? It should still weight a lot, and unless Dreamer gives us some magical steroids I can't imagine us running far with it.
Whichever case. Yeet it at another faction if we have to.That someone being? We only have Steals to work with, and she does not strike me as a powerlifter either.
We'll see, I guess. The Chest isn't important anymore, so worse comes to worst, we can always abandon it if there is an opportunity to finish our actual mission here.
They are in a bit of a bind here. Even as murder-happy as they are, they can't take on everyone. And their dog. Where are those, by the way?Chest strapped to their back like a backpack, Ten is running for their life from a pretty unreasonable number of goons.
I find when reading stories like this is to consider it from the tabletop perspective, the players are egging each other on to do something stupid while the Storyteller is eyeballing each of them to see where the latest headache to going to come from all the while looking at their notes to see if this is as far from what they planned as they fear. Or that could just be me projecting from my own running secession.

Now I am torn on whether it is some kind of unwritten rule for bored immortal entities of immense power, or for bored GMs.

[x] Diamond's after the Chest. It's been a while since you've been in a relay race but swoop in and take it off Ten's hands, they'll split up nice and good when that chest is moving.

You grab the chest and heave, it's not overly huge but it is made of heavy metal and your noodly arms strain to lift it. You feel warmth flowing through your muscles as Dreamer moves to assist and the chest gets lighter. It's still pretty heavy and while at least you can lift it now, you're not going to be carrying it across the city or anything.
Allows you to buff up your strength to meet the requirement for a feat of strength. Unfortunately, this at most doubles your strength and Sharell, well, she's not exactly strong.
This made me smile so much. Sharell found her match in Judge Ten. No matter how it turns out with them it's going to be interesting."Ten! You think I'd let you down? You'd kick my butt if I dared."
Wait, so it works with legal definitions only? Not some kind of Young Solar Moral Code?"Wait, you haven't broken the law at all?" you blurt out when you realise the senses aren't wrong, they're just not finding anything to complain about.
Ten Feathers thumps their chest. "I am the law."
Oh. Right. Gem. Yeah. Unfair.

Is there no law against arson in Gem? Didn't Ten burn down the Antiquarian's house?Sharell tends to enforce Gem's laws (Well, such that they are)

I mean, no one would find them guilty, but that's different from not breaking laws, no?
