the imperious... imprints? impresses?

[groundrules]

The Imperious and her delicious cargo are slowly creep-creeping their way to the icy port citadel of Sa-Hareth, leaving a narrow opportunity for the Archeval-led rescue mission of incoming captives .

To keep things tidy, everyone’s welcome to ask general event questions or specific test-drive meme ones, and to chatter about the fate of the Imperious. Remember: actions have consequences, and sinking the boat too close to the port could congest naval traffic for the foreseeable future.

Test-driving players: Eastbound’s so far survived on locust-style enthusiasm for out-of-the-box plotting, so don’t be afraid to pitch plots or ask tangential questions. The general guideline is that as long as you don’t break the sandbox, you don’t need mod permission, and you can check out the locations page if you need a map or general grasp of Sa-Hareth.

Hydrate & have fun, now with zombie mermaids!

Do newbies know how they appeared on the ship at all?? or just remember waking there?

[groundrules]

At this point in time, the last thing they recall is waking in front of that mirror — to whatever (or none!) of the effects listed, whichever way you prefer it.

perfect <3

question 2 - how do the undead like direct sunlight.......??

[groundrules]

Iiiiiiinteresting.

Question in return: does Alina's light power travel underwater? So, would it be visible for anyone underwater, or does it only illuminate when in air ?

[sankta]

At her current levels, with two amplifiers, she would need to light above the water but the rays would pierce the water like normal sunlight. So the closer she can get her light to the water, the more it would illuminate the surface levels.

Additionally, she has the Cut which can cut through a mountain, so could easily slice through the water (she'd only access this closer to being saved rather than early on in the voyage).

[groundrules]

Okay, so:

Dead or alive, the mermaids are far more accustomed to life deep under the sea. Their eyes aren't suited to exposure to deep light, and they will naturally recoil from it. They might also go blind easier, so if Alina's got a soft stomach about that... well.

However: the mermaids are not stupid. If Alina burns them with the light a bit, and she ever falls overboard, they will go after her. With a vengeance.

Some of Unhalad's undead will also be noticeably put off or frightened by pure light. It has no actual effect on their health, but they do not like it, and will turn away from it.

[weifinder]
