The Battle for the Crook & Flail - Part 2
(OOC)
This is the official RP for 2019 that takes place two years earlier.
For the RP there will be different, separate sessions So feel free to use different sphinxes for each session, or skip a session, etc.
There are prizes for every session. Some may have more then others, but there is no special prize for being at every session... so no stress.
Nothing permanently bad will happen to your character (unless you wish for some temporary effect to stay, such as dying so you can use an undead item, etc). There will be danger and possible near death experiences, but nothing that will change anything on your sphinx. So feel free to play your favourite sphinxes in this.
Prizes will be able to be given to your other sphinxes or put into your inventory. So no worries about having to use a sphinx you want changes with... although feel free to play a sphinx you want to build up more. Of course there is nothing saying that the sphinx in the session doesn't get/use the prize themselves if you wish it.
You can play any sphinx or netjer, but other species weren't around for what happened two years ago.
I expect the character to be one who won't be purposefully disruptive to the story line. This takes away the fun from the other players who are working to solve the issues.
Why didn't your character from two years ago take place in this RP? Well... TIME PARADOX!! There are a ton of ways for your characters to have missed their opportunity, or possibly have had them wiped out from time paradox. Feel free to make up your own story of how it happened such as... they did do the quest but somehow it's all erased, they were shoved in a closet by some unknown person (there is something happening where a direct hand may have been played, but nobody was discovered/seen), they vanished from that point and didn't exist for two years with a timeline that only the current character remembers or forgot, the memories of the current sphinx changes, etc. The reasons can vary from character to character because time paradoxes are chaotic!
If there are a lot of people in the RP I can't always personally respond to every message posted, but I'll try to at least respond to a few in between my messages.
For this session scholarly characters will probably excel the most but nearly any type of character has their uses. ^_^ Don't feel afraid to play any sort of sphinx you wish.
What abilities do your characters have? The answer is whatever abilities that you think that they would have. Typically it falls into magic classes have magic, roguish classes are good with traps, etc. But hey, you could have your peasant with untapped 'phenomenal cosmic power' if it really suits their story. Basically, just good RPing and use your own judgement.
Session 2 may be a very long session, but I can't be sure.
I believe that covers the basics, so... let's get on with the RP shall we?
~*~
Ever since a group of sphinxes vanished with Breaker Upsurge things had been quiet. Ranquillane was concerned but not quite sure where they wound up... no yet at least but she was trying to puzzle it together.
But that would have to wait, her chronal spells were informing her that more temporal distortions were affecting sphinxes around Ahket. Spending some time preparing spells to peer into the constantly fluxing near past she witnessed who were supposed to be there. It seemed as if the paradox from two years past hadn't been abated... not yet. It was time to find those who had the wrong temporal energy flowing through them, too much of a paradox could have disastrous results... very disastrous.
With her pocket watch open Ranquillane walked through the streets searching for the correct energy. Eventually she stopped to look at your sphinx.
"Howdy.' greets the draconic sphinx with a tip of her hat 'I'm Ranquillane and I'm a time warden. I help to fix time when it's being messed with, and it seems as if something is messin' with your time energy." She gave a concerned look. "I'm afraid that if something isn't done that there could be a heapin' amount of trouble, even a possible chronal implosion. I want to try and help you. I have pin-pointed this anomaly to the exact point... nearly two years in the past."
"There's a mighty big urgency to take y'all back to the past, to that time, so ya can fix your time energy." The serious look on her face was an indicator to how dire this situation may be.
"There's already been a group who helped fix their timelines and were mighty successful with that trip." the cowgirl reassures you "I want to help you. Will you trust me?"

Sign up time!
To sign up post a picture of your sphinx or netjer (other races, such as satyrs, weren't around in that time) along with, bolded, "I trust you." or "I'll trust you." or something similar. This will be the character you will be playing for this session.
Roleplaying descriptions including the catch phrase are awesome, but not necessary for the sign up. BUT, I do expect RP posts during the game itself.
You have one hour to sign up from the time this is posted. If there aren't enough people, or somebody is 'very close' to being home I may extend the time a bit.
You may edit your post up to the time for sign ups runs out. If you were in the previous session feel free to play the same sphinx, or a different one.
If you sign up, try to be there for the whole RP. You can duck out early if you really need to, but you'll miss some good stuff at the end.
