Enemy Actions

They attempt to block one of your actions to clean the rooms.. and to investigate the operatives.
Clean Rooms: 1d100-40 vs DC 50 = -33
Investigate Operatives: 1d100-40 vs DC 50 = -33

No success. She actually draws attention to herself, so much so she can't risk being seen fighting the anti corruption methods.

(Bonus of 25% to your effects)

Your Actions
- Covertly Repair the Tree of the Heavens: This action is repeatable up to Xiaomei's level, and can be repaired by approximately 5.45%.
1d100+45 => 123; Major Success (+20%+25% => 145% results)
5.45 * 1.45 => 7.90% (+62.78) => 70.68%

The tree blooms into glorious celestial flowers, and the pantheons are in full communication with their realms.. and all are noting a huge influx of demons and fallen gods. They are fighting now to recover their realms and provide relief.. and a lot of operatives are being forced to do their jobs.

[All Pantheons are in full contact, and internal affairs is in a full blown panic about what they're finding.]


- Xiaomei has inherited the soul of someone who was once a god, and this must meant she was one of the dead gods. That'll take some time but maybe it'll identify the enemy some.
1d100+45 => 89; 1 Turn of Progress

The question becomes: which pantheon, which infinity, which dead god, which Celestial Princess?

It could, for all you know, be one of the never realms.

This task would be better off with more information, but you make some progress all the same.


- Celestial Bureaucracy Anti-Corruption Actions (9/?? Completed)
- Clean the Faction Meeting Spaces

Cleaning this was.. well, an adventure. Some of these spaces were the size of a world, after all. But you debugged them, purified them, then cleaned out.

The oddity is that it seemed to increase the mood around the Bureaucracy, and a particularly grateful one gives you a tip that lets you see the World Goal.

Aphrael sends you a token of regard, as well, something she wants Xiaomei to get on the next world. It's apparently an upgrade to her caster gun.

[Unlock: World Goal, Caster Gun Mk 2, next world.]

- (Unlocked) Improve and Restore the Chapel of the Void

The Chapel of the Void is restored, and the 'windows' become full of different sights, from a beautiful astral sea to a peaceful forest.

The altar in the center glows with a soft light, and you realize that the center figure looks a lot like Xiaomei, in vastly differnt garbs all the same.

You also realize that the warning light is bright red. That's.. well, an ill omen.

- (Unlocked) What were the operatives *doing*?

Taking bribes, aiding with demons going to places, including the Celestial Bureaucracy. Some were using it to take out worse threats, and just engaging in pragmatic deals - accept the lesser evil, etc.

They survived. Many didn't.

(Actions Updated.)

- Setting Actions:
-- Tython: Find the ancient Je'daii Pilgrimage Route. (Note: this will alter the fate of Kaleth) (4 AP)

See Xiaomei actions.


- Hong Meiling Actions:
- Investigate the trail. See if you can cut off some of her resource base. [Reduced Enemy Resources, Goodwill with the Bureaucracy, +trickle of resources] (6 AP)

You find there's indeed a trail of resources to capital reserves that aren't supposed to be touched, and cut it off. In thanks, the Bureaucracy cedes more resource tiths to the Celestial Princess, who gives you some to work with.

[Hong Meiling loses the ability to do large changes to worlds. Gain +20 RP.]

- (Low Risk) Get one of her catspaws removed from their position. [Reduced Enemy Actions] (100 RP, 2 AP)
1d100+32 ??? vs DC 70: 131, Critical (Xiaomei gains +10 Defiance, +5 Awareness.)

You get a catspaw removed, and find.. well, Xiaomei got struck, but shook it off. Thankfully, the Force is kinda.. a force.. that can explain sudden bolts from the dark.

You think she's probably getting more suspicious, though.

That said, having an angry Celestial Princess on you is.. well, you've got to do the legwork to expose her, but she's already in severe trouble.

Training Notes
...Posted later.

Xiaomei Actions
Meanwhile, back on the world you're observing, Xiaomei is trying to trace down the fourth holocron, and finds out it was likely taken by the chief protector of the village.. and heads off to find this person.

On the way, she stumbles on an overgrown path, and..

[Perception: 117]

.. finds an timeworn marker of the Je'daii, the first Force users. Odd. She'd suspect it'd be worn out by now. She took a holoscan of it, knowing her Master would want in depth scans, but pauses at what writing remained. This was once a pilgrmage path.. and she followed. It was a long hike to the next temple.. and then she saw it, the Je'daii Temple of Knowledge, Kaleth.

(Rediscovered the Temples.)

And she knew she didn't have time to walk it herself, but she could .. she'd have to.. she'd turn it over to the Order.

Even if some part of her wanted badly to explore and see if the others could be found. There were a few known to the Order. What if they could find all nine?

But she had to find out what happened to that holocron.. so she turned back, regretfully. She didn't spot the faint form of a Je'daii Master nodding in approval at her decision, and started to find the Fleshweaver camps..

Only to find that the Twi'lek Defender was well on his way to becoming a Sith. Returning the relic to her Master, she also informed them, and the Jedi Order was.. well, amazed at the find.

The holocron-Revan was dubiously impressed with her dedication to her duty, but noted that she should have explored herself..

"I thought about it." Xiaomei admits. "But I know my fate is to do things, not contemplate on them. Regretfully."

Revan nods. ".. That is likely true. Your master.."

Xiaomei nods ".. there's something off about her."

Still, she had to go the ruins of the Dark Order to follow the Twi'lek's trail...

The temptation to take away the last action from the enemy is very strong. I don't think it will stop her completely, but even a temporary respite will be valuable.

 

[KNakamura]

.. huh
I .. hn. I now have to answer the question. If you ask the Jedi Order on Tython to submit or die, what happens? 🤔

 

[KNakamura]

Writing this out has been delayed, but I aim to have it out to you later today (PST). I apologize for the delay.

 

[KNakamura]

What took so much time was working out the method of retaliation and how to handle it. Hopefully this works!

Enemy Actions
They try to stop you from acting to block a catspaw.
[1d100 t80 => Failure]
They fail.


Your Actions
- Burn 2 AP for -5 Awareness

Xiaomei seems to be less aware. That's good.

-2 AP: Spend X points of AP to get more random encounters for Xiaomei.
+4 Random Encounters for Xiaomei (Resolved in Xiaomei Actions)
-2 AP: Get Xiaomei a fortunate encounter: Resolved in Xiaomei Actions


-(Low Risk) Get one of her catspaws removed from their position. [Reduced Enemy Actions] + One Good Roll
1d100+32 ??? vs DC 100 (+OGR) => 33, Critical Failure

They lose the action.. and this provokes Hong Meiling to try and send Takeda Dachika down. Something goes wrong during that, though..

[Continued in Xiaomei Actions]

-Celestial Intrigue Actions
- Covertly Repair the Tree of the Heavens (3 AP): This action is repeatable up to Xiaomei's level. (Current Times: 8/10), and can be repaired by approximately 5.45%.
1d100+45 => 143; Sublime Success (+20%+25%+25% => 170% results)

5.45*1.7 => 9.265 ~ 9.27% => 79.95%

You spot what has been long awaited - powerful mortals beginning to use it to travel as well. This contributes more energy, but also starts cutting down on demons using it, and enables later use of it by the heavens.

But, you spot with surprise, power beginning to flow to various gods of the Void, Xiaomei, pantheons - one of the strengths of the heavens, restored.

- Xiaomei has inherited the soul of someone who was once a god, and this must meant she was one of the dead gods. That'll take some time but maybe it'll identify the enemy some.

1d100+45 => 78; 1 Turn of Progress

You do narrow down a bit more. There were realms that once were, but now weren't, unlike the never and anti-realms. Xiaomei couldn't have been her name. But you do suspect Xiao was part of it.

Still..

- Get Books Returned To The Library
[Retaliation already taken]
It took you forever to get books returned, and then recreated in some cases. Making a list of the destroyed books was worrying.

The Celestial Armada was recreated, and they began grimly preparing and armoring Heaven.

[-2 turns to find out who Xiaomei was]
[Can now research Incarnation]


- Tython: The Forge can upgrade artifacts.
Resolved in.. Xiaomei Actions. Hopefully.

Xiaomei Actions

Xiaomei was presenting her argument about the dress code while the Jedi were busy verifying where the Twi'lek might have gone to, when she felt a Disturbance in the Force.

[Quest Complete: Study Jedi History]

.. and was very surprised to see .. and stiffened when she felt the distinct presence of a god of war..

who looked partially taken over by a dark Force presence.

But something had gone wrong. Rather than it adding to their strengths, they seemed to be fighting each other, only here because both wanted to destroy the Jedi Order or .. well, her..

There were a lot of lightsabers being activated, but Xiaomei could read the tides of battle.

But that was irrelevant to her. She knew what the message was. But if she could buy time for others to escape - she should. She could see this world distort and wanted no part of it.

But the Force was leaving her, as she knew it must at one point. She was an outsider, and that was fine.

[Xiaomei attempts to break her limits! 1d100+20 (Class Levels)+26(Cha Mod)+3(Godslayer)+4(Divine Essence)+20(Fatebreaker) => 1d100+73 vs DC 150 (-10 Divine Aura Negation; 119; Failure]

.. but she went flying as she tried to attack, overwhelmed by the difference

Fortunate Encounter/+Bonus from Celestial Tree of the Heavens restoration

Just then, she heard an invisible chorus sing to her, a voice whisper something to her, and she grinned as the goddess mocked her, as she stood and simply lit up her lightsaber. "I do not necessarily need the Force to defeat you."

[Second Chance: 1d100+83(+10 Prayers) => 164; Success]
Xiaomei was surrounded in a brilliant rainbow aura as she spoke, striding forth and blocking blows and Force Energy. "Neither of you." as she slowly but steadily approached as the dark side corruption spread. "Nor do I fear you."

[Xiaomei activates Internal Energy -> Perfect Vision -> Mastery of Self (-31 Qi) -> Meikyo Shisui (-40 Qi)]
[Xiaomei attempts to convert Force Aura to the Technique "The March of the Righteous Host", under the School of "The Techniques of a Hero of the Past".
DC 50+30 (Tenebrae Blocking Force)+60(Very Dissimilar Techniques)-15 (Level 3 Understanding)-26(Cha Mod)-20(Breaking Your Limits)-5(Revan Holocron) => Target DC 74 vs 1d100+20 (Mastery of Self) => 74; Success]
[Xiaomei activates "The March of the Righteous Host" (-50 Qi, Allies gain +(CHA/3) 8 to Attack, Damage, +30 HP/minute, +3 Qi/minute, Corruption Resistance
Tranquility DC70: 1d100+58=>100; Success]

The room was turning black before her glow intensified, dispelling, and many Jedi shook loose of the corruption. They stood up, and began to attack in bunches, even with the power of the Goddess, and Xiaomei spotted the fact they were fighting was causing odd slowdowns.

She focused herself, knowing that soon they would regain power. They had this chance. Now, she had to strike with all of her might.

[Meikyo Shisui Activated]

She could feel her blade vibrate as she attempted to route more power than it could withstand, as she attacked repeatedly, her tails lighting up in ethereal fire as she danced and slashed, a feat only a few Jedi Masters were echoing.

But it wouldn't be enough. Despite how far she had pushed, she could feel it. They just couldn't hope to deal this much damage.. but she remembered the whisper.

"Trust in who you are Xiao▩▩▩▩, and remember. The Winds of the King.."

"to restore the peace!..If not now, then when." She murmured. The Goddess? turned to face her, and she jumped back.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" The thing mocked her, and Xiao▩▩▩▩ nodded.

"The First and Last Duty of Any Warrior is to stand between the enemy and the innocent." She echoed, more audibly as she committed herself. The Jedi Masters began to eye her serenely.

She was no longer a part of this world, but still had a duty to it, after all.

[Xiaomei activates Code Dust To Dust. [Gain +300 Damage, +30 to all stats for 10 minutes. At the end, the character will die.]]

Her aura turned gold as she focused and begin to rise in the air, putting out her hand.

"The School of the Undefeated of the East!" Power begins to pool in her hand, gathering from everywhere.

"The ultimate technique!" The Goddess-.. Tenebrae.. hybrid? Began to unleash all of it's power at her, but before it could reach her -

"Sky and Earth Shattering Fist" The gold ball blasted through it, sending her into the mountain behind the temple, followed closely by Xiaomei beginning to burn a brilliant purple-blue.

"The lives you have taken - the destruction you have wrought - it ends now." Her voice echoes. "Face justice, Tenebrae, Sith Emperor." That got a startled reaction from a few - "and face justice, Takeda Dachika, for those who you have slain for your power." The fire around her forms into a phoenix, as her form begins to dissolve into the light.

It was going to happen. She hadn't had enough time to strengthen herself, so she had to consume her life force, as she had done so-where had that thought come from?-

- to defeat this monster. It was now neccesary, as much as she didn't like it.

[Xiaomei uses Pheonix Technique]

The bird roared it's defiance as it formed, and struck the Goddess beginning to emerge full-force, destroying her in an instant.

When the light cleared, Xiaomei was also not there.

Some comments: In honesty, I think we should probably avoid non fantasy settings, but Babylon 5 would be still interesting. Vote ends .. Monday.

Finally, because I keep forgetting:

And.. 50 skill points to distribute. Do not allot more than 25 to any one skill.

Well, it seems that Xiaomei died pathetically again in the battle against global evil. I hope this doesn't become a habit for her. I bet she'll have a pretty interesting biography in the Jedi archives.

As for the setting... Okay, I realized that choosing an unfamiliar setting (or time period) is not a best idea. As for Marvel, do you mean the cinematic universe or one of the comic book timelines? Will we see the X-Men? Also, not sure where Elenium is from.

And as far as I understand, RP no longer accumulates? Does this mean that conversion actions work in the same turn? It would be convenient.

I wanted to keep her alive but.. ultimately, the only way the character could win was to go to the extreme, and Xiao- would.

Click to shrink...

Cinematic. I.. actually don't know how to weave the X-Men in. 🤔 But tbf, the reason I allow writeins is that I don't mind doing research.

MCU (Marvel) will start in either -1987, 1995, 2007. The idea is
- 1987: Early dismantling of HYDRA
- 1995: The antebellum years
- 2007: The start of the MCU

Elenium: The Elenium - Wikipedia and https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TheElenium if you don't mind massive spoilers.

There's some issues with the writers, but in the end, I felt it'd be interesting enough.

And as far as I understand, RP no longer accumulates? Does this mean that conversion actions work in the same turn? It would be convenient.

Click to shrink...

It does still accumulate, but you can spend the conversion actions now to start with it on the first actual world post., and I mean to spend some time today cleaning up the sheet and mechanics to get you a total with transmigration post setup so you can do that.

 

[KNakamura]

Notes:
Next Turn starts wIth +225 RP from me not doublechecking the match
Xiaomei gained +6 Divine Essences, and just as a note, the Hall of Histories will help you with that.
She's now Justicar and Cleric +1 level, sealed Jedi Counsular level
There will be a turn after everyone votes to let transmigration settle and stuff while I work out an epilogue.

So, to give people an idea: updating her sheet takes me a half hour and has increasingly useless data on it. In addition, with a more narrative flow, I don't as much want to roll out every action. The thought is, on voting, to do one last update, get it perfectly updated, then consolidate the sheet into something simpler. It also lets me organize my thoughts about her techniques. The mechanics need to be more formalized, and also simpler, but again, massive changes to them require a relaunch, so it might just become tweaks.

Glad to hear. The X-Men have a strange relationship with the MCU due to copyright issues, but they have always been part of the universe. Plus, it's much easier to justify the character's fox-like traits.

Uh.. no. I have seen precisely 0 of them, and so far it was movies + wiki dives. I was thinking about Agents of SHIELD, but it's largely added because I kinda have done way too much sidereading. The thing about X-Men is, weaving them into the plot actually means dealing with SHIELD being jerkfaces a lot more than I like, as much as I like Coulson.

Uh.. no. I have seen precisely 0 of them, and so far it was movies + wiki dives. I was thinking about Agents of SHIELD, but it's largely added because I kinda have done way too much sidereading. The thing about X-Men is, weaving them into the plot actually means dealing with SHIELD being jerkfaces a lot more than I like, as much as I like Coulson.

This is probably for the best. I also don't know much about the series and haven't watched much Marvel since the whole Thanos saga ended. However, seeing the behaviour patterns of Xiaomei, it is possible that I don't need to know more.

 

[KNakamura]

Hey, look, one of these days she'll actually manage to level up enough to take on the final boss without needing to resort to extreme measures.

Nothing for 3 turns..

Meiling needs to establish her catspaws, but dares not right now. (Next turn, you'll be able to start blocking her actions if you want.)

Your Actions
- Ask for help from Kerian Pantheon. (0 turns until usability) (Gain a +20 to a single roll.)

- Improve RP Pool (1 AP for +10 RP. Cost triples every 3 AP spent. RP cost increase is for this world, see transmigration mechanics.) (2 AP spent).
2 AP: 1d100+45 => 72 138; +10 +13 => +23 RP

- Covertly Repair the Tree of the Heavens (3 AP): This action is repeatable up to Xiaomei's level. (Current Times: 9/15), and can be repaired by approximately 7.7%.
1d100+ 45 => 90, Major Success, Repaired now: 88.06% (+8.81%)

You think with the sudden increase of power, this might be quicker than you think. But you could overcharge it. Make it a way to send armies down it. You might need it.

-Xiaomei has inherited the soul of someone who was once a god, and this must meant she was one of the dead gods. That'll take some time but maybe it'll identify the enemy some. (1 AP 5 RP per turn, 3 turns remaining)
1d100+45=>126, Sublime Success (2 turns of progress, 1 turn remaining)

You.. well, with the books, find that Xiao▩▩▩▩ was almost certainly from the time of multiple Celestial Princesses, a very well covered time. But you can't quite get there from here, you need a bit more time.

-"Rebuild the Hall of Histories."(1 turn of progress, 9 remaining)
You start rebuilding it, and realize you're going to need a lot of material. And you realize you'll need some ways to stop it from being easily destroyed or downsized, so your plans get a bit more grander, but you start working on it now.

-Make a motion in the Bureaucracy's Committee's to Investigate Possible Infiltration (10 AP)

1d100+65=> 129, Sublime Success


Well, that threw the cat into the pidgeons. Many protest loudly, but there's a lot more reports from very worried, very sober agents that indicate that there is something there. They unleash the Celestial Security Bureau on the problem.

And you promptly have to fight off several demonic agents. That's quite worrying. One goes to visit Xiao▩▩▩▩.. (will be resolved in World 3: Part 1.)

But you did find their plot - to set up corruptors, before it could start. The Host stays strong, and countermeasures begin to be set up.

(Plot line stopped.)

- Recreate the mines and sources of Celestial Arms and Armor.

You start recreating the planes.. and realize you'll need to steal entire realms from other areas. Here, this is ... Nilfheim.. and Svartalfheim..

... You veto that. Xiao▩▩▩▩ simply can't do it, and the power she'd need to rewrite those fates is something she'd need more Divine Essence for. She simply can't take them on... yet.

But you hit on an idea there. You start building your own plane, and anchoring it properly. It also means it can't just be destroyed.. and it'll strengthen Xiao▩▩▩▩'s ability to access her spiritual sea, maybe even hide in it.. well, all to the best, right?

(When Xiao▩▩▩▩ can access her spiritual sea with her divine essence, she can create her own micro-plane.)

It'll take time to get up and running, but the Celestial Host fortifies immediately, and starts to prepare.

Epilogue
Luke looked up at the figure of an Amaran in this ancient Jedi temple on Tython. A delegation from the Order of the Shadowed Knights, headquartered on the Republican world of Tatooine, had found what they claimed was a path to the ancient Deep Core World of Tython. And as a Knight of the Jedi Order, currently headquartered on Dantooine, he had been sent along. Imperial insurgents had been falling off since their failed bid to destroy Alderaan in 0 ABA, but were still active. There were rumblings that the Chiss Ascdendency was beginning to push more forward, and the Republic was undoubtably worried, with the persistent threat of the Black Hutt Cartel.

"Ah, young Knight." He recognized the distinctive voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi. "I see you have found the statue of Jedi Knight Xi'Rahn."

"I've never heard of her." Luke said truthfully. "But I thought Knights don't usually get statues?"

"Normally, no. But she defeated the Sith Emperor of her time, both through force of arms, and from her ability to shield others from the corruption of the Dark Side of the Force. That's half of why she's remembered. The other was what she said before she sacrificed herself - that the first and last duty of any warrior is to stand between the enemy and the innocent, and she willingly walked to her death to ensure it."

Luke nodded. Death, yet the Force.

"She also found the old Je'daii temples.. ones we will get to explore ourselves." Master Kenobi continued. "It was these temples that let us start revitalizing Tatooine."

Tatooine, once a lush planet, then reduced to a vast desert, was now 'merely' an arid planet, with a small sea, and occasional rain. Further restoration was projected to take millenia.

"But her example is what started the Order of the Shadowed Knights, which defeated Darth Sidious before he could fully enact his plan. This is why she's considered a great Jedi, and some wonder what could have been had she lived longer."

So, while the events of the first three episodes were more or less the same, Anakin died after his battle with Obi-Wan and Sidious was defeated shortly after, although his followers continued to cause problems for many years after? This is certainly an interesting development.

I have high hopes for this world. I thought between Charles Xavier and The Ancient One, but in the end I chose the first one - he should have more initiative to intervene in events happening in the world, and the ability to observe what is happening (Cerebro). We finally get a true kitsune maid! And I really miss good mutant stories after being completely disappointed with modern mutant comics.

By the way, which works are considered canon here, and what is the timeline? Two pretty important questions if we're going to get involved.

[X] [Training] Melee Attack, Dodge, Knowledge(Physics) and Knowledge(Metaphysics).

Using a metal sword is probably a bad idea considering Magneto, but a wooden or plastic/carbon one can serve as a relatively adequate replacement.

As for the Feats... As a mutant with foxy traits (or maybe even a genuine kitsune mistaken for one), Hitomi would probably have bonuses to interacting with mutants and malus to their haters. Although this probably doesn't count as a feat... I'm interested in having an innate affinity for magic to be able to attract the attention of wizards. Also, psychic abilities seem to be relatively common among mutants, maybe something like precognition or super instincts? It would also be nice if Hitomi could use a weapon that is not quite suitable for this, like a bokken, as a real sword, for example creating a cutting edge from mana. While this might be a bit of a controversial choice to go against a particular opponent, Magneto may deserve it.

 

[Crawkid]

[x] Kathmandu, Nepal, 1987 (1 AP) (starting point: The Ancient One)

[x] Walled City, Himalays, 1988 (2 AP) (starting point: Charles Xavier, warning: immediate combat)

Can I vote for both of these?

 

[KNakamura]

Of course. As for Hitomi - a note that Takeda Hitomi is roughly "Jane Doe" - a placeholder name.

130 RP is.. 5 RP too many to get you 3 AP. (I hadn't fixed that taken three times thing.)

The timeline is.. uh.. I'm actually largely using MCUs, with backporting to have the X-Men roughly active at the same time as IM2 or the first CA movie. The reason, for example, you can't intervene with Natasha is that she doesn't graduate the Red Room for another decade or so.

So works are largely: MCU's first arc (which tbf, the world boss is probably going to not be Thanos, a level 60ish Titan, but maybe Magneto or Alexander or *maybe* Hela.) and with weaving in of X-Men canon from wiki dives, half remembered cartoon, movies, and very dimly remembered AT4W stuff.

(Hitomi is an actual kitsune pretending to be a mutant, though... but really it's probably both.)

Those are all good ideas, although what I would do is probably word it as "You are attuned to magic very acutely. All costs -10% and you can sense other wizards or sorcerers within 100 miles."

So we are moving forward somewhat blindly! It's a little scary, but exciting in its own way!

Part of me hopes that maybe Magneto can be convinced after all. The things he does are wrong, but I can sympathize with his reasons.

Hela has quite a lot of final boss vibes, it's true.

(Hitomi is an actual kitsune pretending to be a mutant, though... but really it's probably both.)

Click to shrink...

Curious... Does she herself know that she is not human, or could this come as a surprise to her as well? Well, at least it doesn't suffer from plot devices that disable mutant abilities.

Those are all good ideas, although what I would do is probably word it as "You are attuned to magic very acutely. All costs -10% and you can sense other wizards or sorcerers within 100 miles."
