Edgedancer he/him Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 She could pretend to link arms but unfortunately shes still intangible (Or rather, fortunately given that it's Nighthound) I've got ~100mi written down, enough that I think she can reach all of the RP cities. She probably would but not his specific powerset, just that he's good at gathering information. That's the plan yeah. Can they also get tophats? So Eugene would be just on the border of her range. Not that I can think of anyone that far Nighthound would be interested in. Unless I just make them up now. Just asking because he's probably the most risky Epic to her right now, apart from maybe Backtrack and Red, depending if they can sense her. The ability to perfectly read palms! 1

I'm still undecided on how much control Neverthere has over what her projection looks like, whether its just a straight copy of her or whether she can change its appearance somewhat, in which case yes absolutely they can. Yeah I think so, she could extend it further by moving but she doesn't really have any reason to and moving is always dangerous. Yeah she'll probably try to ensure he meets an accident somehow and in the meantime keep an eye on him and not give Corpsemaker any reason to look for her.

Well, Regalia could change what she looks like. So assuming he doesn't have anything for her to do now and they skitter of would we shift the scene to them meeting Lucentia or waiting until Lightwards wakes up and can join the talk? Talking about assuming, Winter, is it safe to assume that Red got into Nighthound's arm? Accidents, they happen oh so rarely. (So what do you think about Red or Backtrack locating her?) 1
Voidus Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Depends on what Kobold was planning for Lightwards to do.She doesn't know about Backtrack but both would likely die if they attempted to track her down solo even if she didn't know they were trying. She has a bunch of proximity alarms and explosives rigged around her safehouse, not much defense against a determined High Epic but enough to kill lesser Epics if they don't already know about it.

She has a bunch of proximity alarms and explosives rigged around her safehouse, not much defense against a determined High Epic but enough to kill lesser Epics if they don't already know about it. Backtrack could, theoretically, look back to a time when the alarms were triggered to see exactly how they'd kill him, then look back further to when they were set up to see how they might be disabled. Of course, this is assuming he doesn't flee in terror the second he sees what the alarms did to the last guy who tried to break in. 1

Lightwards is going to gather his Warriors and make an attack on Chimera, partly for the animals and party as a message to all the other unaligned Epics in Portland. I'm open to pretty much anything around that framework. Backtrack could see into the past and see her planting the explosives, so he'd at least know they were there--if he were teamed with someone like Funtimes who could turn bombs into jelly, could the pair of them defuse the bombs before entering?

If he had the foresight and ability to recognize a bomb then he could, of course if he brought Funtimes with him she could just teleport them both inside since she wouldn't blow herself up, or Lightwards could just raid it with dinosaurs or send Nighthound. Of course any kind of delay like that gives her a chance to escape. She's not called Neverthere for nothing I was thinking about Nighthound telling Red to keep her tracking powers secret and then, at a fitting moment, decide to give Neverthere a visit, should she be able to track her. Well. I'd assume the talk would happen before he gets a chance to head off, at least if it were to happen with multiple people. Well it would give me the chance to blow up Nighthound a few times. Even if he heals I think it'd be immensely satisfying.

She's not called Neverthere for nothing If the Empire was really intent on getting her though, her home could be encased in diamond before she even realized she'd been found. And if the house was surrounded by dinosaurs with strict kill orders, with an Epic like Nighthound or Aldo standing watch, she might not be able to get out in time.

I agree that the chance to blow up Nighthound would be satisfying but if Nighthound set it up as a proper raid in advance, I don't think her chances of escape would be all that high, so that's something to be cautious about. They have Epics that could track her and some that are clearly faster than her, afterall. Edited August 24, 2015 by Edgedancer

Oh if they were serious about finding her they definitely could, Funtimes can port in way faster than she can run away, but if she sees Backtrack skulking around crying about all the people that've been blown up there then running back to the museum for backup she'd probably bolt before they got there. Same with Nighthound, if he went with Red when she tracked Neverthere and just went straight in he'd be in before she had time to run but if she saw Red first who then went to get Nighthound then she'd run. Basically it depends how much effort they're willing to put in. 1

Huh, I have absolutely no clue why he would do it but I suddenly have the idea that Nighthound makes some hounds and disguises them, so they can't be identified as his. Then lets them break into Neverthere's house (or at least those close to her) causing her to flee and then ultimately "saves" her by killing the hounds. It's a pretty obvious trick and has a good deal of flaws, so I don't think he'd do it but the idea is now in my head. 1

I haven't exactly though about that but it would need to be something properly obsucuring so the mists can't be recogniced, maybe to cover up a bit of their movments as well, so probably some kind of coat and mask.

So between her potential torture-friendship with Mary and her potential loyalty to Nighthound I'm requesting that Neverthere be added to the 'ATTD' list a few more times.
