    Shardcast: Unity

    My theory of how the highstorms have altered Roshar scream against the idea that Honor's perpendicularity is outside of the highstorm. We've never heard of spheres being filled in any other way. I had assumed the cognitive realm had the weirdness of the perp because it's the cognitive, and it doesn't actually totally hit the exact same location in both realms.
  2. Day Nine: As You Wish "11 people left alive. The pirates had started off with almost 30 people. And there were still guards hiding among them. How could this be?" "How could it be? Because they're awful at remembering who they actually sailed with, because they're all asleep!" Alvron yawned. "Hm, if this story keeps getting longer, I might just have someone else finish it up. Hopefully they'll resolve their memories by then," Steel said, also yawning. "In the meantime, Reginald Canuk got murdered." Alvron looked at his fingernails. "They should push him into a dark, dank pit." Steel thought for a moment, then shrugged. "As you wish. They pushed him into a dark, dank pit. Reginald didn't like it very much." Alvron raised an eyebrow at his grandfather. "I doubt anyone loves being pushed into a dark dank pit." Grandpa Steel thought for a moment. "What if he got pushed in by a pretty guard?" Alvron frowned. "Not everyone is driven by a pretty face, and I doubt Humperdinck hired girls for his guards." Gramps pursed his lips, considering. "Whatever. He got murdered, and I'm running out of creative ways to murder people." Alv grinned at that. "I think I might be able to generally help you out with that. Oh, and now there are only 10 people left." Dalinar Kholin has been attacked! He is Mostly Dead. Rathmaskal is totally dead! He was a Pirate with Rum. Today's Fashion is "As you wish." I'm kind of running out of fashions from the movie, so this will be the last movie one. Hereafter, it'll be general humor related fashions. As always, stay active, and have fun.
  3. I interpreted it as not actually being a blade, but basically being the equivalent of a blade when you have a spren as big as the stormfather. I think the size of the Stormfather is part of the reason he isn’t supposed to be a blade. So, basically Dalinar ripped a piece of the stormfather off and shaped it into a blade-shaped piece of investiture. Not solid metal, but still investiture- and as such, can still operate the oathgate.
  4. "If life is pain, you should have the castle be infested with cacti! They would all be poked and maybe they would actually do something!" "Alvron, they have done something. They let the old Man in Black die. Let her die of poison on the ground." "But that's not exciting enough! What about that newer pirate, the one everyone is suspicious of?" "Yeah, they went and killed him too. Their numbers were starting to dwindle. At this rate, it was possible the pirates might just all kill themselves off." "Well, at this rate, the Guards have been a lot more exciting in comparison to the pirates. Daring murders! Exploring the edge of the unknown!" "You have an odd idea of what kind of person you should have as a role model. Maybe I should start reading another book to you." "No, no, Grandpa! I want to see how this ends! Will they all fall asleep and let the guards murder them as they do nothing? Will they all actually wake up and manage to destroy the guards? Will they all wake up and still let the guards dupe them? So much chaos! Especially if you add some cacti for them to step on." "...Ok. We'll say they bashed Rath to death using a cactus." "Fantastic." Rathmaskal (4): Fifth Scholar, Elandera, Snipexe, Straw Straw (2): Mr Doctor, Rathmaskal Walin (1): Sart Rathmaskal has been lynched! He is Mostly Dead. Val is totally dead! She was a Pirate/ex-MIB.
  5. The day is over! I’ll get the night up as soon as I get home from this grad party
  6. Day Eight: Life is Pain "Val sat quietly. Val hadn't been the kind of pirate to say much, but after she got stabbed by a Guard? Well, she hadn't been one to go out and challenge them directly. Which was odd, as there should only be a few left. Where were they? Well, she would let the more experienced pirates take care of that. She just wanted to drink her coffee and ignore them. When could they go back to sea? She much preferred to go to sea. Val frowned. Something was burning in the back of her throat. She went to stand up, but suddenly it transformed into an all-consuming pain, tearing through her body. She went to scream, but a rag went over her mouth. A voice spoke into her ear. 'It's too bad you claimed to be the old Man in Black. That poison you just drank will make you hurt. Then again, life IS pain. And anyone who says otherwise is selling something.' With that, Val passed out from the pain, and the world went black." ___ "'Man, I really thought he would be a Guard,' said Dread Private Hobbert, as he toed the dead Q. 'Well, there's still a few more to find. Let's gettem!'" Val has been attacked! She is Mostly Dead. Jondesu is totally dead! He was a Pirate with Rum. Today's fashion is selling me something! After all, life definitely isn't pain (no matter what Alvron tells me). PLEASE stay active.
  7. The night is over! I’ll get the new day up as soon as I get home from this recital, which might take a bit.
  8. I at no point decided that having a named role prevented one from having a random role. As to whether I actually distributed the roles in that way, PAFO.
  9. Night Seven: The Shriek of Every Child [Grandpa Steel drones on about how Jondesu dies in blood and gore, while Alvron chuckles darkly the entire time.] Jondesu (3): Elandera, Sart, Rath Rathmaskal (1): Jondesu Jondesu has been lynched! He is Mostly dead. Hemalurgic Headshot is totally dead! He was a Pirate with a Parrot.
  10. Never mind, I was misinformed. Rollover will be long tomorrow, not today. Rollover will be timely today.
  11. Rollover might go a bit long today, I have a piano recital, not sure how long it will last.
  12. Why you listing me? I'm very limited in my creativity. But, I'll read it when I have a minute.
  13. Ian was too quick to say he doesn't pay Grace.
  14. I, the original squid, approve all messages promoting squidkind.
  15. Day Seven: To the Pain "Ah yes, you're in for a treat now. You wanted a bit more death and nastiness? Well, the Count was feeling particularly vengeful that night after the death of Grumbleton. So, once they got Leonard Wilkins into the pit of despair, it wasn't pretty." Alvron was listening intently. "Instead of whacking him on the head, they had stabbed him in the femoral artery. If they removed the knife, he would die without the care that could only be provided in the pit of despair. Ironic, given that they were going to kill him anyway in there, but Leonard wanted any chance of living that he could get. So, he came quietly with the Count. The Prince sat in the pit itself, waiting for a new victim. A small pile of bodies were by the far wall. Leonard shivered. He could feel the blood trying to push out of his leg, and if they removed that knife, he would be likely to die. Thankfully, that wasn't to come just yet. The albino had come, who deftly took out the knife and applied a small clamp to apply pressure. Perhaps, Leonard thought, he might be able to get a stab at the Count or the prince. Unfortunately, they had used his own knife to stab him, and they had taken that away now. So, Leonard sat quietly, waiting for any sort of chance." Alvron grinned. "It never came did it?" "No it didn't. Leonard was put into the machine of pain with the clamp still on his leg. But Leonard was a heroic one, and was not about to give in! He lashed out on the table, managing to get a good kick in at the machine! Unfortunately for him, this collapsed the machine on him, knocking off the clamp, so he bled out. But he died heroically! Besides the fact that the Count had another machine he had been working on." "Wow, no break for him." "Nope." Hemalurgic Headshot has been attacked! He is Mostly Dead. Doc12 is totally dead! He was a Pirate. Today's fashion is TO THE PAIN! Provide the Dark Adolescent Lord of Death and Chaos Alvron with entertainment! Humor him, and you will be rewarded. (Just don't get too graphic!)
  16. I forgot about this thread lol. Um, I'm ancient.
  17. The ideals of the dustbringers have something to do with courage, according to the divine attributes.
  18. I need to make you guys aware of my situation. After July 6th, I will no longer be available to properly GM for two weeks. I had not expected this game to go so long, but as things now stand there is a possibility that will occur. If this happens, either Alvron or someone else will help and finish up the game. Furthermore, I’ll see if perhaps I might still be able to send in write ups if that occurs.
  19. Night 6: Silence of the Doctor “‘Guilty, you are! You helped kill Drake! He was such a pleasant person, and you killed him!’ ‘I’m telling you, I didn’t do it! I had nothing to do with his death.’ ‘Well, that’s what a Guard would say! So, get down there!’ The mob shoved Doctor Senfalo down the stairs. He heard growling. The pirates had discovered what appeared to be animals that the prince raised to hunt. Dangerous animals, ones that would be more than happy to eat a poor little doctor like him. ‘Please, no, don’t do this. I don’t want to be eaten alive!’ One of the pirates chuckled. ‘How can we trust you? You’re going down there. Or we will impale you.’ The pirates as a whole shoved swords and spears into Doctor Senfalo’s face. And so, Doctor Senfalo walked into the basement. He heard growling, and a panther emerged. He heard the door lock behind him. And so he ran. Not that there was really anywhere to go, for him.” Grandpa Steel stopped, and reached for a glass of water. Alvron cocked his head at his grandfather. “Is that it?” Steel smiled. “I figured after all the various gore and such from the last few chapters, we could take a break and not describe how Senfalo was shredded to bits by the panther. You can wait until the next chapter for more death in gory detail.” Alvron frowned. “Isn’t this supposed to be more dramatic? More death and stuff?” Steel shook his head. “It is exactly because of your obsession with death and darkness that I am not going to describe it. Suffice it to say it was not pretty.” Drake Marshall was a Pirate. Doc12 has been lynched! He is Mostly Dead. Doc12(6)- Elandera, Straw, Rath, Snipexe, Dalinar Kholin, Mr Doctor Sart(1)- Fifth Scholar Jondesu(1)- Sart
  20. For me, I like having this separate besides being buried in the rules.
