The Words of the Heavenly Regiment, Part V

You can get used to air alarms, power and communication interruptions, curfew restrictions, but never to the loss of people. Ukrainians painfully experience the loss of each defender, even if they may not have known them personally. The full-scale war united the entire country, and we owe our lives to everyone who died at the front and who defends our lands now.
We continue to publish quotes from heroes who fought for the free future of Ukraine. Each soldier from this Heavenly regiment deserves eternal honor and memory, so we must do everything to continue their struggle with dignity and remember the price of freedom.

"Accepting the death of the best people is really hard. But these people do not leave us. They leave behind a very significant mark. We live in a special time, this is the age of heroes. And it's cool — to live and have the opportunity to see these heroes, to be with them. Although they are leaving us for a better world."

"Many people say that on the first day [of the invasion] there was no awareness that we would win, there was fear, because a large armada of Russian aircraft, tanks, and infantry began to advance on Ukraine. I will say without hesitation, and these are not empty words, I knew that Ukraine would definitely withstand it. Yes, difficult times await us, but we will definitely win back our country."

"I remember this moment very well. On Saturday, March 1st, 2014, we were sitting in the newsroom watching the live broadcast. It was a meeting of the Russian Federation Council, to which Putin appealed for permission to send troops into Ukraine. UP (Ed: "Ukrainska Pravda") came out with the headline "Putin has declared war on Ukraine."

Back then it was very dark, scary and it was not clear what to expect. Eight years later, it's not scary anymore. There are many of us, we are strong, intelligent and tenacious. We will win. Glory to Ukraine!"

"Yes, we were unlucky with our eastern neighbor. Russia is an absurd '3 in 1' state - a terrorist, a robber, and a maniac... But for some reason I am sure that they will fail with their occupation of Ukraine anyway. Just like they failed to eradicate our nation over the last 300 years."

2023.06.06 04:22 FunEbike How to choose brake system for your e-bike

To choose brakes for an e-bike, it is important to understand the common types and characteristics of bicycle brake systems. There are several different mechanisms and types of brakes for bicycles. Here are some of the common brake mechanisms:
Caliper Brakes: This common brake mechanism is typically used on road bikes. Caliper brakes consist of front and rear brake arms that squeeze brake pads against the wheel rim when the brake lever is pulled. This mechanism provides reliable braking performance and adjustability.
Characteristics: Lightweight and simple design; easy to adjust and maintain.
V-Brakes: V-brakes are a common brake mechanism widely used on mountain bikes and city bikes. They have two brake arms, each with a brake pad. The brake lever pulls the brake cable, causing the arms to squeeze the brake pads against the wheel rim. V-brakes provide strong braking power and adjustability.
Characteristics: Brake pads are squeezed against the rim using the brake lever and cable; providing strong braking power.
Coaster Brakes: Coaster brakes are a common rear brake mechanism primarily used on children's bikes and some city bikes. They are located within the rear hub and are activated by pedaling backward. When you pedal backward, the coaster mechanism engages, providing braking force. Coaster brakes are usually simpler to maintain than other brake mechanisms but have weaker braking power.
Characteristics: Internal brake system located on the wheel hub, activated by pedaling backward.
Disc Brakes: Disc brakes use a metal brake rotor and a brake caliper mounted on the hub. They can be mechanical disc brakes or hydraulic disc brakes. Mechanical disc brakes use a cable pulled by the brake lever to squeeze the brake rotor, while hydraulic disc brakes use hydraulic pressure to squeeze the rotor. Disc brakes provide powerful braking force and excellent adjustability, suitable for various riding conditions.
Characteristics: Brake rotor and caliper or hydraulic system used to squeeze the rotor; provides strong braking power.
Due to the higher weight and greater inertia of e-bikes, most e-bikes are equipped with disc brake systems. Now let's analyze the characteristics and pros and cons of mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes to help riders choose between these two types of disc brakes.
Mechanical Disc Brakes:
Characteristics: Mechanical disc brakes use a cable pulled by the brake lever to squeeze the brake rotor.
Advantages:
Easy adjustment: Mechanical disc brakes are relatively easier to adjust and maintain compared to hydraulic disc brakes.
Simple maintenance: Mechanical disc brakes usually do not require hydraulic systems, making maintenance and repairs relatively straightforward.
Lower cost: Mechanical disc brakes are relatively more affordable, making them cost-effective.
Disadvantages:
Slightly weaker braking force: Mechanical disc brakes provide slightly weaker braking force compared to hydraulic disc brakes, especially in situations requiring higher braking performance and emergency braking.
Frequent adjustments: Mechanical disc brakes may require more frequent adjustments during use to ensure optimal braking performance.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes:
Characteristics: Hydraulic disc brakes use hydraulic pressure to squeeze the brake rotor.
Advantages:
Powerful braking force: Hydraulic disc brakes provide stronger braking force, allowing for more effective speed reduction and reliable braking performance in emergencies.
Better adjustment stability: Hydraulic disc brakes offer better adjustment stability compared to mechanical disc brakes, maintaining a consistent braking feel once properly adjusted.
Light touch and modulation: Hydraulic disc brakes usually have a lighter brake lever feel, allowing riders to easily control and modulate braking power.
Disadvantages:
Higher cost: Hydraulic disc brakes are relatively more expensive, and the maintenance and repairs involving hydraulic lines, brake fluid, and hydraulic systems are more complex.
Difficult maintenance: Maintaining and repairing hydraulic disc brakes can be more complex and require certain technical knowledge and specialized tools.
Potential leakage risk: Hydraulic disc brakes involve hydraulic systems, which carry the potential risk of hydraulic fluid leakage.
It's important to note that brake performance depends not only on the brake mechanism but also on factors such as the quality of brake pads or brake discs, tire traction, air pressure, and the rider's skill. Choosing the appropriate brake mechanism for your bicycle type and riding needs is crucial to ensure good braking performance and riding safety.
Consider the following factors when making a decision:
Riding type: First, consider your usual riding type. If you ride a road or city bike, mechanical disc brakes may already be sufficient for your needs. If you engage in mountain biking or require more powerful braking force, hydraulic disc brakes may be more suitable.
Riding environment: Consider the environment and road conditions where you usually ride. If the area is often wet, muddy, or has steep descents, hydraulic disc brakes may be more suitable as they offer more reliable braking performance under slippery conditions. Mechanical disc brakes may already meet your needs if the environment is mostly dry.
Maintenance and adjustment: Consider your comfort level with bike maintenance and adjustment. If you prefer a brake system that is simple, easy to adjust, and maintain, mechanical disc brakes may be more suitable for you. Hydraulic disc brakes may require more maintenance and specialized skills.
Budget: The cost of the brake system is also an important factor to consider. Hydraulic disc brakes are typically more expensive than mechanical disc brakes, so you need to make a decision based on your budget.
Remember to consult with a professional or knowledgeable bike mechanic to get specific recommendations based on your e-bike model and riding preferences.
Funbike's e-bikes are all equipped with hydraulic disc brake systems which ensures safety and higher brake efficiency.

2023.06.06 04:13 dpitch40 Things you hope are in the next patch?

I have a decent number of small quibbles with TotK, but only a few things that I think seriously impact the player experience.

UI for activating the Sage abilities--I think this one is the Lynel in the room. Replacing the Map power in the wheel with whistle and making Down on the D-pad select Sage abilities sounds like a great plan to me.
For Hylia's sake, increase the drop rate on Lizalfos tails and/or reduce the number that are needed for armor. I finally broke down and used the duping glitch after killing 10+ Electric Lizalfos in a row with bladed weapons with no tails dropped. It's by far the grindiest part of the game.
Stealth mechanics seem kind of buggy. Granted, I'm probably spoiled because my main game before TotK was Hitman, but enemies often seem to notice Link for no apparent reason (the aforementioned Electric Lizalfos seem to wake up a split second before I sneak attack them at least half the time), and sometimes I'll press Y to execute a sneak attack but do a regular one instead. Link automatically stands up after pulling off a sneak attack, which is an annoying gotcha if I'm not wearing stealth armor. I've also noticed you can't sneak attack Bokoblins carrying things on their backs until you take them all; is this intentional?

What are you hopes for the next/a future patch?

2023.06.06 04:10 Toe-Patrol UE Crashign Upon .udatasmith File Import (Official Datasmith Plugin)

I'm currently facing a persistent and frustrating issue with Unreal Engine. For context, I'm a Computer Science student who does student assistant work for my University where I help the school's faculty bring their ideas for XR (Extended reality, AR, VR etc.) to life for their classrooms. I am the only student working on this project, and I am being assisted by the head Engineering professor who is the head of this small 'Extended Reality department.'
For several months now, I've been working on a VR project for a geology professor but I have been at an absolute standstill due to this issue for a large majority of the time spent on this project. The overall idea is he wants to have a bunch of individual .LAZ files of some lidar-scanned geographical area created into one map. He wants this map to be a VR environment that can be navigated around. The core of this project involves importing a .udatasmith file of this geographical site's LIDAR environment scan into Unreal Engine. His students are then supposed to import a geological .tif map overlay that they've created on their own, align it with the environment in VR, and check its accuracy against a master (key) .tif file provided by the professor.
However, whenever I attempt to import the .udatasmith file into Unreal Engine, the engine crashes every time. I've tried importing the file into multiple versions of Unreal Engine with no success. I have tried importing on various versions of Unreal, such as 4.27.2, 5.0, 5.0.3, and 5.2 with the same result of it crashing every single time.I use the Unreal official Datasmith plugin. I import the file from City Engine in the UE format, and from within UE, I select the file and click on the 'Import' button, and then the crash of the entire engine begins.
The .udatasmith file was provided to me by my collaborator on this project. (The engineering professor- NOT the geology professor who the project is being created for.) Along with this, they also provided a .cej file (CityEngine project file) which viewed in City Engine is the map for LIDAR environment scan. When I open the .cej file in City Engine, the environment appears, but it's very very transparent.
I've tried a few things to troubleshoot this, such as ensuring that my hardware meets the requirements for running Unreal Engine and checking for any obvious corruption or issues with the .udatasmith file itself. However, I've been unable to identify or resolve the issue that's causing Unreal Engine to crash.
I'm at a bit of a loss here, and I'm reaching out in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or could provide some insight into what might be going wrong.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

2023.06.06 04:10 Dadchin Anyone want to join a collaborative worldbuilding project?

Map of current world powers (current year 2100, last updated 2060). The greyed-out nations still exist, they just aren't extremely influential.
TLDR: This is a world me and a couple others have been working on for a while. It's a setting taking place in and after 2100, when a couple of scientists successfully create a device capable of generating portals to other universes.
Too long, but read anyways:
Essentially, throughout the 21st century, things have been going a lot better for the world. Since the end of the Second Chinese Civil War in 2038 and the creation of the Unified Republic of China under the revolutionaries, creating the first successful *truly* communist state, and the reunification of Korea, the majority of wars throughout the world start to simmer down. Large Criminal organizations like the Cartels in Mexico, The Mafias in the US and Italy, as well as the PCC and Comando Vermelho in Brazil, society as a whole becomes much safer, and the UN, mostly through the US and the URC, is able to devote more effort into helping overthrow the theocratic societies in the Middle East as well as negotiating peace between warring countries in Africa. After Putin's presidency comes to an end, the Russian Federation also becomes more and more democratic and establishes much better relations with the rest of Europe and the West in general.
Corporations also begin to lose power, starting with the invention of Nuclear Fusion reactors by Chinese scientists and the US beginning to crack down on corruption and corporate influence on the government. Eventually, companies are reduced to researching inventing, and manufacturing new technologies, such as Mass-producible carbon nanotubes, single-stage spacecraft, and simulated brain stimulus for true virtual reality. Other technologies, such as atmospheric filters, are able to aid in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions(along with the new clean energy produced by fusion reactors) as well as being used to help with the gradual terraforming of Mars. The EU has already began to send construction materials to Mars in order to construct an airtight city-like colony, with many other powers having similar projects in the works.
Various regions incorporate further into unified groups, such as the EU becoming a federal state, and Brazil creates the South American Alliance, which eventually transforms into the South-Central American League, which also eventually federates. Seeing this success, the NAFTA countries in North America decide to try something similar, creating the North American Union, which is also on it's way to becoming a truly federal state.
Using newly engineered materials as well as funding from all the major world powers, the United Nations funds a project to construct a Space Elevator in Western Kenya on internationally owned land, where the elevation is suitable. They also build up a city at the base, which they name Anga, and the city quickly booms in population and becomes the UN headquarters, colloquially known as "The World Capital." This also brings a lot of political weight to Kenya and elevates its status globally.
This is the state of the world when, in 2098, a pair of scientists manage to create a device that can create gateways between worlds. The UN has prepared an expedition, after many tests with unmanned probes have been conducted, to make sure a particular calibration for the device leads to a breathable, earth-like planet.
Essentially, we want to gather a group of worldbuilders to create the worlds that they visit, as well as the characters that visit them, and the politics and wars and everything else that comes with such a project
P.S., sorry if the grammar or structure of the text is hard to read or makes no sense sense, I tried to condense the world at large into a a single post. If you need me to clarify anything about the world, just ask.

2023.06.06 04:07 FireFury190 Ideas for some Hero/Ascension Quests

Okay, so I can't be the only one who was disappointed that Shulk and Rex don't come with any quests when you unlock them from challenge mode. Let alone the fact that you can't inherit their classes. I understand it wouldn't make sense in the canon. But Land of Challenge always did non-canon fanservice of characters from other games interacting with each other. So I think it's dumb they couldn't do it for Shulk and Rex here. So I've come up with some quests for them to feel more like substantial rewards for beating both games.
Shulk & Rex Hero quest:
Basically, the cutscenes you'll get will be similar to Elma's in XC2. Where Nopon Archsage is the one responsible for bringing Shulk and Rex back into Aionios. They're still acting as avatars of Origin but the mysterious power of the Archsage has allowed it so that both Shulk and Rex can still walk around Aionios while still being in Origin. Kind of like how the Archsage in XC2 was able to bring Elma to Alrest and alter the time dilation so that she isn't gone for too long on Mira.

Shulk's Ascension Quest:
The main idea for Shulk's quest will be dealing with the sudden return of Fog Rifts and Fog Beasts in Aionios. The group is traveling when they suddenly encounter a Fog Beast. Shulk advises they inform Melia about the matter and how to deal with the return of the Fog Rifts. We get a nice touching reunion with Shulk and Melia as they catch up on things. And we learn that many Fog Rifts have started appearing all over Aionios recently after being gone for eons. Shulk and Melia then explain to the Ouroboros gang what the Fog Rifts and Fog Beasts are and how they relate to the Black Fog. And that in the past they once dealt with them before Aionios was created. So now the main party has learned the true nature of the Black Fog and volunteers to assist in destroying the Fog rifts and beasts. So you travel to various spots on Aionios where there is a lot of Black Fog as that's where the Rifts have formed.
During the mission Shulk starts to ponder why the Fog Rifts are showing up again all of a sudden. And suspects that someone might be creating these rifts to form. He also talks about Origin's construction to the party after some battles against Fog Beasts. And how he was one of the leading designers of it and intricate details on how it works that Nia didn't tell us. We then find that the Fog Rifts that have now been reforming have been caused by the actual Consul A experimenting with the Black Fog. Finding a way to make sure that the fog doesn't destroy Aionios to permanently preserve the Endless Now for Z. But accidents with the experiments had caused Fog Rifts to form again once more.
The party catches him in another experiment with the Black Fog. And they managed to stop him. But not before another accident causes another Fog Rift to form. However instead what's summoned isn't a Fog Beast but a Fog Zanza. Shulk wonders how this is even possible. And starts to piece together that the Fog Beasts are not only a result of the worlds fusing together but also they're the restless spirits of those that died on Bionis and Alrest. Explaining why the Fog King in Future Connected looked like Inferno Guldo from XC2. Applying more of the Gnosis lore from Xenosaga. Fog Zanza proves to be far more powerful than any Fog Beast before. As Fog Zanza is acting Zanza's desire to destroy the world and remake it anew.
The quest ends with the party destroying Fog Zanza and Noah promising Shulk that they will stop Moebius and save their worlds before the Black Fog destroys Aionios.

Rex's Ascension Quest:
At camp, Rex is looking at his family photo with wives and kids. Wishing they could all be together again. Mio asks what the photo is which startles Rex. After he composes himself he explains to Mio that it's a photo of him and his family. Even giving it to her to look at. He then talks about how after Z hijacked Origin a lot of soldiers that make up Keves and Agnus were all children 1-20 from the two worlds. And thus separated from their parents who are all trapped in Origin. He was one of the lucky few that didn't get put into Origin and talks about how he would love to see his kids again as they were reborn to be a part of the Agnian army. He mentions how he already found two of them and wants to find out where his 3rd kid is. His son Milton. The one he had with Mythra. He doesn't mention to Mio that she's his daughter as he doesn't know the best way to tell her. Mio decides that they should help Rex find his son. And will travel to all the Agnian colonies they know to find them.
So the party goes around to a few Agnian colonies only to come up short. They then decide to go to Agnus Castle and see if there are any documents on file on Milton on where he was stationed or if he had already reached homecoming. We get a very touching reunion with Rex and Nia. Where Nia accidentally acts like her normal self when the Ouroboros party shows up unannounced. Only to turn around and be greeted by Rex. Tears swell up in her eyes and she dashes towards her husband faster than Kite did with Juniper. Tackling Rex to the ground and surprising everyone around them. After that funny moment. She gladly tells them where to find the records of all the soldiers. She then asks Rex to talk to her alone while the party goes looking through the documents.
Both husband and wife are so glad to see each other again after over a thousand years. The two look from afar at Mio and ask if either one of them has told her about them being their daughter. They say neither one haven't and is unsure what the best course of action would be. Whether to tell them or not. As Rex mentions he and Shulk never mentioned their familial relationship with Glimmer and Nikol.
The party comes back and they sadly can't find any information on Milton. Which deeply saddens Rex but he was ready to accept they might have already reached homecoming a long time ago. Taion suggests that there is one other place they haven't tried. That is the lost colony that Nimue is from. As no documents of that colony exist due to the hidden nature of the colony.
They all rush to the lost colony and sure enough they learn that Milton does indeed live there. However, he currently isn't in the colony. They find out from Stella that Milton has a bad habit of searching for treasure. And has often constantly dug holes around the colony looking for any. She suspects that because he's already searched every inch of the colony for treasure he likely went outside looking for more.
So the party has to search around Cadensia Region to find him as he hadn't gotten far. And we managed to save him from a giant sea monster. There we see that Milton looks very much like Rex from Xenoblade 2 only now with blonde hair. This helps save Monolithsoft from having to make a completely new model. So it'll just be young Rex's head on an Agnian soldier's body with blonde hair. I fully give credit to XenDrawsStuff as Mythra's kid looking like a blonde Rex was their idea. But I also thought it was a nice cost-saving measure.
After they save Milton Rex chews him out for the dangerous stunt he did much like how he did with Glimmer in FR. Once they return to the colony Rex apologizes to Milton for snapping at him before and the two bond over their love of digging up treasure. Rex mentioning how he used to be a salvager. The party looks on at the two from afar and Eunie comments how Milton looks pretty similar to Rex. Taion believes that could be a natural thing that can happen between parent and child from what they learned in the City.
Mio ponders on it too, as she takes Rex's photo out of her pocket. As she looks at it more and thinks back to how Nia interacted with Rex, she realizes that that's her in the photo. And once she notices the baby she's carrying as well as how similar she looks to Nia, something she hadn't really thought of before, she puts the pieces together that she's Rex's and Nia's daughter. And while she doesn't completely understand it or is fully confident about it, she decides to keep it to herself. As she feels it's best that Rex come forward with this once he feels comfortable.
And done. Please give me your thoughts and critiques on these quest ideas.

2023.06.06 04:06 Nomyad777 [PI] The Monster Kingdom (2/2)

Part 1
"When we Firmas were pushed north into the Pyrimian mountain valley after the death of their chain of command, they settled down and instead of focusing on expansion focused on necessities like food. With co-operation from the first goblins and other creative minds that joined the First Wave of the migration, they managed to grow food over the summer in first-iteration greenhouses. "My parents were part of the first wave. They were old for a couple, but joined the Firma clan in founding a government and keeping the area safe, as well as spreading word. The dragonic gods didn't like their behavior at all; cities burning is more entertainment for them, so they were the first to be Forsaken in this era, publicly, in the main square of the old Dragonic Capital. "However, that backfired, with more and more dragons tired of running around and fighting all the time, they decided to settle down in a place where nobody would bother them; now that they had this place given to them, and the Second Wave started. Basically the entirety of the dragonic clans and several other species amassed in this wave, and the Sapient Unification Government held. "My parents had an egg in one of the more northern caves, right on the coast. Then, the third wave arrived and everything went downhill from there. "The Unification Wars were fought between those who wanted one government to cover this region, and those who wanted governments segregated by species. This would have been fine if the secessionists didn't step in on people's behalves, without their consent; it took fifteen years of war for the war to end. Millions died and some species like the Snow Fox beastpeople almost went extinct. My parent were part of the death wave. "The war evolved so rapidly it was impossible for a commander to last more than two months. It started with sticks and stones and within a month there were arrow volleys. A year saw guns, two tanks, three battleships, four planes. Bombs, bigger bullets, bigger guns, bigger bombs. "In the last few months of the war, the first nuclear devices were used, creating miniature stars on the land with immense destructive potential unleashed. It ended with mutually assured destruction protocols being activated, and when all was said and done the land was a snow-fallen irradiated dustball. "It took years for the survivors to pick up the remnants of our short-lived civilization and restart it into the Terra Firma Sapience Union. All the time, my egg didn't hatch because I had no incubator, but didn't die thanks to my ice type. It was located close enough to a mana vein where I just... absorbed the entire vein. When the cave was found by explorers following maps for my parents den, all they found was my egg glowing brighter than Sunstones. "I was taken to an incubation facility in Cellyia, one of the bigger cities. There I hatched, and after more than one test I grew. My growth was still... affected by the time without an incubator, so my already slow growth stopped after fifty years instead of continuing to infinity. And then I took some magic courses, did my best to drain my mana reserves, and settled down here, well away from... the bustle of Cellyia. It never quite felt like a home, you know. It was a good place to grow up, don't get me wrong, but I like it here better. Remote, and in the same place my parents met for the first time. As much as I can tell, anyway; a number of records were destroyed in the Unification War. "When your heroes continued to come up here, I would be the one on first guard. Damming a river, I used water magic to break it. Trying to destroy some transit infrastructure, I would be the first one to either fake it, finish it off, or lure them away. When your latest one decided to head for Cellyia, it was out of my range for such activities. I shadowed the party on the way and let others take care of it. "I never thought that your 'heroes' would be heartless enough to burn what they were told and even acknowledged as a hospital with patients inside. A library and museum with most of our pre-unification works inside. An orphanage, a school... an entire neighborhood of ten thousand citizens' homes. What for? To try to kill just one of us. "We... couldn't take that kind of behavior. Cellyia might have not been the best place for someone with my personality to grow up, especially without parental figures, but that orphanage still had some good memories. An all-citizens vote was called, an all-citizens vote was passed, and we started a counter-offensive military campaign into your Civilization Nations. We've been waiting for you elves, leaders of the Civilized Nations, to advance your society; it's been seven hundred years, all the most you've done is grow your population and add an extra floor to your townhomes. "So we're going to do it for you. You ran our patience down, so we're going to change your society for you. Is it a repeat of the Unification War? I don't think so, given that you Civilized Nations never rescinded the declaration of war against us 'monsters' over two thousand years ago; one that you still follow through on to this day. "But that isn't the end of my story. "When the gods forsook us, they tried to pry away our magic, our land, and our lives. So we defended. Space radars monitor their movements on the mortal plane. There's so many more technical details I can go into. All I can tell you is, at one point, the old god of Dragonic Princess-kidnapping; yes, they were a god; they came and asked us to restart worshiping them. "That went over as well as you'd expect, and the next thing that happened... was that I absorbed her mana and powers. Technically, I am an undefined god, and... at this point, I'm afraid to get a definition. "What if it's something I don't like? Something evil, immoral... something my parents, the leaders of the Second Wave, wouldn't be proud of? What if... what if it kills me? Everyone hates me? I'd no longer be free... "So my solution was to hide. Here, in a mountain cave in the middle of nowhere. This is my life, all of it... and I don't know where to go from here." ----- "So... you're a god?" I asked. I couldn't think of another question to ask. "Yes and no." The cat replied. It did nothing to satisfy my fearful curiosity. How could one both be and not be a god? "Princess-kidnapping was a... niche god, rarely prayed to by still enough to be, you know, and actual deity. So her mana ran out first, and most of it dissipated back into the environment yada yada yada, but like the sponge my mana reserves are, I sucked more of it up than I should have; enough to had just a slight touch of divine control. On par with a low-level demigod. If I was omnipresent, I'd solve me problems with a snap of my claws, and then I wouldn't be hiding from my problems here." "If your powers came from a god, how are yours undefined?" My mind was seeking knowledge now. I was a mage, after all, and this was more than just the opportunity of a lifetime; it was the opportunity of a aeon. "Because I absorbed her essence from the environment before it had the chance to fully dissipate, but still late enough where it was no longer hers." Vixie shrugged "Or something like that, mana gets weird sometimes. All that matters now is my stockpile is slowly increasing its grow rate, which gets annoying pretty fast." "Annoying?" The cat laughed again. "Do you think this is all of my baseline reserve? Half of the reason I stay away from the rest of society is because the last time someone with multiple aura got involved with politics..." She trailed off, and then let another, this time impeccably cast illusion fall. The air around her was burnt crisp with the power of several mandatory auras in her current small size. Twelve tails flicked behind her back, eleven of them made of energy. Floating specs of light, some smaller while others the size of ice crystals surrounded the air around her. The six orbs on her back were joined by six more, and were attached to a ring. Her head had two halos, and her entire body was engraved with glowing lines. If she before radiated power, now she was made of it. The lights on the cave's ceiling flickered as more and more of the illusion fell away. Geometric shapes orbiting her body, a platform made of mana at her feet, lightning whizzing between all sorts of objects. Finally, it was gone, and the cat that stared at me with big, sad, glowing blue eyes had told me her deepest secret. As soon as it had started, the illusion repaired itself, and before me was one cat, a halo, six orbs, two crystals, and two mana tails. I did the second most instinctive thing when it came to seeing a cat. I pulled her in for a hug. There was a quickly quieted hiss as she squirmed a bit in my grip, trying to get more comfortable, before letting herself get stroked by me. Several images flashed before my eyes, and a tear came out of mine. We had gone to war against the less lucky sapients on our world, and were now paying the price. It felt like hours, but then my stomach growled, reminding me I hadn't eaten in literal days. Vixie shot out of my grip and led the way down into the cave. I followed, and soon enough I was eating some salted crackers with dried meat and cheese while Vixie moved around between other caves. "What are you doing?" I asked her between bites. "Packing," She replied. "Why?" "It's time I got out of here and, to follow the phrase, touched some grass." ----- It took three days for the elf, whose name was Nick, to recover enough to be able to make the journey to Cellyia. In those three days, I realized just how - and why - the Civilized Races looked at us the way they did. For starters, I'd forgotten just how many things ran on electricity, let alone other, more complicated mechanics. Pressurized water, instant hot water, even sinks, showers, and toilets were all completely unknown to the 'civilized races.' Ah, yes. Civilized without toilet paper. Bitter ramblings about the people who set off the chain reaction of events that killed my family aside, those were the second longest three days of my life; the first was my thirteenth birthday so I could get a personal HUD and social media. I was also a mess of thoughts. The elf had shown me, over the course of the three days - aside from the two-minute get-my-life-together moment - that I couldn't hide from my problems forever, or they would team up and try to hunt me. Hence my new, reluctant guest from the overflowing hospital they had oh-so-nicely delivered to my door. I had words for the medical staff. And I was also a mess of thoughts. Did I mention that one already. In all seriousness, Nick adapted to electronics pretty well. All I had to do was explain what it was, what it did, and file it under the name of science. It took an impressive four minutes of rambling about quantum mechanics before Vick realized that he was in way over his head asking how the 'magic rock that can half-think with bottled lightning' worked. He backed out when I yanked a textbook from my knowledge hoard and flipped through the pages to the start to explain how quantum superposition affected the set of particles it was entangled to. Fun. Finding out what toothbrushes were took some convincing, but soon the elf's teeth started to recover from lack of proper dental care. Food was easier than I expected, and Vick was pretty accepting of whatever I tossed on his plate. Except for artichokes, for some reason he hated those. Over the three days we bonded, and Nick got pretty used to life in my home. On the second day I moved him to the guest bedroom I had built but never maintained, but one wave of my paw and a splurge of magic later that was solved. "Why don't you use magic more often?" Nick asked. I explained that was much as I wanted to burn my reserves like they were a forest before a forest fire, the mental strain was tough without learning proper casting, which requires one to drain their reserves to practice wielding physical willpower. That meant that I was caught in an infinite loop of negativity, so I could only get away with a couple spells a day before the mental exhaustion metaphorically turned my brain to mush. On the morning of the fourth day, we left. Honestly, Nick could have left on the first day but I wanted him to be able to have the stamina to walk around for hours on end with me in Cellyia. Either way, as long as he kept by me it would be fine. There was a small population of elves, humans, and dwarves who had come up to the TFSU for one reason or another and never left, which meant that he wouldn't be too far out of place. My plan, instead of just flying into the Cellyia while steering clear of the airport, was to make it to the closest town, Lymian, and take a train from there north to Union Station. It would dump us a bit further downtown than I liked, but Cellyia was built in levels, and I could take the footpath level to wherever I needed. All said and done and one passenger seat clipped to my saddlebag harness on my dragon form, I opened the door to my cave. And was promptly blocked by a wall of snow. "Right," I half-grumbled. I enjoyed tunneling through snow, but spray would make the entrance cave wet and that wouldn't dry for another couple days, and until it did the sound of drips would echo throughout my home like nothing else. Either way, checking one last time that Nick was secure, I prepared my wings and powered forward. The snow and ice parted for me, and then melted and fixed itself back together behind me as I power-swam through the snow the same way I would through water. After ten seconds of this, I burst up from the snow-covered mountain the snowstorm had left behind and started to change my heading for Lymian. It would take thirty minutes of flying to get there, as I was flying lower and slower than usual to take care of my passenger, but we soon enough turned the next mountain and saw the town. The elf gasped as he took in the sights, while I kept my eye out for more activity. It had been fortified as a military base due to the war, but not by much; the town was useless from a defensive standpoint anyway. I spotted the next train arriving from its winding track around the next mountain, which also meant that I was a bit early. The citizens of Lymian were used to my presence, as I usually stopped by to pick up supplies and occasionally a bit of correspondence. So when I landed on top of a several story tall snow pile, nobody cared. I let Nick out, and then transformed into my cat form and slid down the snow pile to start to jogging towards the train station. That's when I remembered that unlike me, elves without snowshoes do not float on snow. Oops. ----- The sights were more than pretty, more than beautiful... If the gods had rejected these people, they might have just as well done it out of jealousy. After I'd been dropped off on top of a snow mound, I immediately flattened myself on my stomach to not fall through. I'd been in more than enough snowstorms and snow mounds to know how it would go if I didn't. The cat climbed the hill below me, reappearing as naturally as the snow fell. "Sorry," Vixie apologized. "Here, let me..." I felt the snow melt around me and we descended down to the ground. Vixie glowed brightly, literally; Even using as little magic as reshaping some snow was threatening to cascade out of her form. We moved to the train station without incident, where the massive 'train cars' were loaded full of passengers and cargo and then taken off towards the big city. Apparently this was the same one the hero burned, but the 'rebuilding and recovery efforts we going well; no critical infrastructure had been severely damaged.' Either way, the ride there was uneventful. Stepping out into Union Station was different. It was like I had entered a busy capital marketplace or square, with everyone rushing in another direction to another place. I trailed after Vixie, where even the oddity of an elf in these mountains was outshone by just how many different races there were; beastkin and kobolds and orcs and undead all filled the streets in, well, peace. "The city is built in layers," Vixie explained. "So while yes, residential and office towers here in the capital were set alight, underground public transit, personal transit, and cargo and fluid transit was all untouched, so we were able to circle around the hero and put out the fires to be replaced with smoke generators, and a couple holograms snatched from a nearby cargo transport." I had no idea what any of that meant, only that the city also had extensive underground bits. The towers soared over everything, and lights covered every spare centimeter of the city. Vixie led me down market stalls, across plazas, through parks and through building lobbies. Eventually, the babble increased, something I didn't think was possible. "Welcome to the commercial district," Vixie said after she had pulled me into a corner away from the masses of people and crowds moving around. "We're right near the harbor, and when we get there I'm going to show you the lighthouse and explain the city a bit better." I almost lost track of Vixie as we continued to move through the throngs of people going about their daily lives. I saw a couple boarded up shops, but most of them were either undamaged or didn't care about the scorch marks on their shops. Jewelry boutiques and grocery stores lived in tandem with furniture stores and a massive slab of too-smooth-to-be-natural stone of a rock type I had never seen before. It was covered in signs depicting some kind of diagram. Right around the corner was the waterfront, with a massive promenade running alongside it. Snow-covered trees lined the walkways, and soon enough Vixie and I came out of the crowd near a large, tall abandoned - though no unmaintained - building. "Right then," Vixie explained and started climbing. "Here's the old lighthouse, it's perfect for seeing the city. They never officially decommissioned it, so it's still legal to climb and properly maintained, but they never use it either." "What was the large thing they were building?" I asked, clambering onto the next ladder. "That? Oh, that was the space elevator." Vixie replied. "The ground part has been completed for three years now, we're just waiting for the rest of the nanotubes to make it into orbit and then run a kevlar cord up, follow it down with the space-grade heavy-duty nanotube cord, and then that's that." "Space?..." I was confused. "When the gods said that they were higher than mortals, you took that both figuratively and literally; they live above you and in a higher dimension. In this case, space is where they live in terms of height, but not number of dimensions. We're working on interdimensional travel, and interuniversal too, but those aren't replicatable on any sort of large scale yet." Vixie shrugged. "Either way, it's not like I care." "But you have it?" I pressed. "Dimensional travel." "Yes." She replied. "Well," I let out a short laughed. "The Civilized Nations are screwed over." "That's putting it lightly," She climbed on top of the last platform and showed me the city against the setting sun, lit up brighter than the night sky and more lively than the earth. It was beautiful. I sat there and watched the city glow with a power not even the gods had, side by side with not a dragon or monster, but a friend. END. A/N: Rushed this last bit of the arc, but school is ramping up at the end of the year so it was either fast story or incomplete story, and I chose fast story. Happy pride month, everyone, and I hope to see more of you when I have more time.
Original Prompt: [WP] For as long as all the races have known, Dragons have been seen as violent, destructive creatures. After an attack on your village, you black out and find yourself in the den of a dragon. It's rather annoyed that that is how they're seen, and wants to prove that isn't the case.
u/Lycan_Jedi thank you for the prompt!

2023.06.06 04:03 Nomyad777 [PI] The Monster Kingdom (1/2)

Part 2
If you travel far enough North on the map, well above where the Civilized Nations stop because no crops grow, you'll find a mountain range. Crossing this range leads to the Monster Kingdom, though for some reason they prefer the name 'TFSU.' Yes, they prefer. The literal forces of anarchy and chaos in the universe have a government. However, ignoring that whole thing, the Monster Kingdom is fine. No armies march on them, mostly because of supply and logistical issues. The Monsters never say how they grow their own food, but given that they don't trade and millions of kobolds worth of food don't go missing every day, it's safe to say they make their own. Now, that doesn't stop the Civilized Nations to send one hero a decade to 'keep them in check.' Four decades ago, the hero closed off a mountain pass, which was supposed to cause a massive flood. Four days later, it was cleared, and the only thing to show for it were the cities that glow like the sun at night. However, yesterday, the Hero returned having burnt one of the bigger cities down. It was empty of all monsters, but the act was the first real damage they had taken in seven hundred years, since their founding. For seven hundred years, the TFSU have taken the beating of seventy heroes and simply moved on. But now. Now, millions of kobolds make up heavy 'machinery' units that march in armored, self-moving caridges that spit fire and metal. Thousands of beastpeople make up scouting and light infantry ranks. The TFSU use hellish 'guns' that hit harder than a catapult from kilometers away, all in a single 'bullet' not the size of a human's thumb. Metal birds and dragonflies join dragons as they assault cities. We poke the very literal sleeping dragon in the eye. Yet the armies don't do much. They march for our capitals and leaders, but on the way our civilians live. Surendees live. People go about their daily lives without too much change. Of course, that fact didn't stop the front line from finally crashing over my small village, located so close to the pass for a while we thought they the monsters had bypassed us entirely. The Civilized Nations had decided to send an entire legion to prevent the Monsters from getting across a nearby canyon pass. We were hit with an air-based assault with only dragons and metal dragonflies, our balista uselessly demolished by pillars of metal and flame thrown out of the metal dragonflies. I blacked out when the legion managed to shoot enough arrows to take down one of the dragonflies. I remember it crashing down onto my house... and then nothing.
-----
The elf stirred as they woke up. I'd been raised in the Terra Firma Sapience Union, so I was... less than familiar with the clothing and lifestyle the Southerners used. The elf groaned again, before their eyes shot open and they looked around, quickly settling on my frame. "A-Are you going to kill me now?" They asked, their voice shaken with fear. I let out a laugh. "If I wanted you dead, you'd already be dead." I decided to transmorph into my secondary form - a cat - to help the conversation go better. In a land where humans lived to forty, elves only lived to a hundred, and that meant that even I was older than this elf, and they were no older than thirty. The elf, to their credit, quickly figured out I wasn't pulling any mindgames. I'd heard tales from my relatives before the Kobolds founded the TFSU. People, especially when panicked, usual acted with more than enough stupidity to make the situation worse. "Where am I?" The elf asked. Their tone told me that they were still suspicious, but it wasn't outright denial of the situation. "My home," I answered bluntly. "Your village tried to fight our ground forces when they moved in, so most of them are currently under house arrest." Still in my cat form, I created a portal into my storage cavern and reached my arm through, while summoning a lab coat around my shoulders and glasses. It was a trick I had only learned to do recently. "Let's see..." I found the clipboard and brought it out, flipping to the elft's page and taping the pen against the paper. "You suffered a collapsed lung, severe burns on the right side of your body, three broken ribs and two fractured ones, shattered three wrist bones, three breaks in your right upper arm and another two in your lower arm, and on the left side you have another fractured rib and three broken fingers. Your left leg was shattered and your left foot was completely torn up. Healing magic stabilized you and surgery did the rest. You've been comatose for the past three days, and was brought to my home yesterday due to a surge in hospital patients from the seige of Trembolorne. "In terms of organ damage, that was also severe. A busted kidney, I already mentioned a collapsed lung, and your entire digestive system was... well, pulverized would be putting it lightly. Also, unrelated to the incident with the helicopter, you had cancer in your liver and kidney. "In terms of medical treatment, you've been given an IV line for the past couple days and several painkillers, and you underwent four separate surgeries. We reconstructed your organs, welded your bones to metal plates, and used a genetic printer to replace your skin. You're lucky to have gotten time with the genetic printer in the first place, you know; those things are expensive, and I mean expensive to run. Though it's all billed on the government anyway, but that just means that they'll only run it if they have to." The elf sat up in bed looking at me as I just stood on two paws on the cave floor. "Right, sorry, you wouldn't understand most of that." I sheepishly scratched the back of my head with my right paw. "Um... put this way, you were crushed by debris and we basically reconstructed your body before you died. So not necromancy, though you did get close to needing more advanced magical treatment." "Oh," The elf replied. The cat thing seemed to have helped, because they were no longer stuttering with their single word response. "Um... do you want anything to drink?" I tried to kickstart a conversation. "Where am I?" The elf asked again. I was silent for a second. "My home? It's right on the edge of TFSU territory, one of the southernmost places you can be while still being with the recognized borders. I chose this place because I like to fly out in the summer over the flowers in the forest at the foot of the mountains. Your village is a couple hour dragon-flight time away." "Mmmhm." The elf commented halfheartedly. "OK, um... who are you?" "My dragonic name isn't something most can pronounce, so my public name is just Vixie Remminie." I answered. "What's yours?"
The elf's eyes narrowed. "Why do you want to know my name." I blinked. "Because... It's a name? I'm not a Fey, you know, it's not like I can tie ancient demons to your soul and call it a prank or something ridiculous like that. Besides, you asked for mine; now I get to ask for yours." "And who says you won't just burn my village to the ground and eat me right now!?!" The elf suddenly burst out. "You monsters ruin everything! You trespass on our land, take our resources, and kill our people! All we did was try to defend ourselv-" I cut him off, and poured just a bit of attention in giving myself an aura. Blue fire licked the bottom of my vision as I rebuttaled his point. "Don't forget, you stole the land from us. We were the ones living in the wild when you razed our forests and grew crops. We couldn't even purchase land to live on! So yes, we stole what we could to survive and those who didn't starved and died! And when all was said and done, you tried to kill us and turned it into a war, one where we had no choice but to kill you back. And when we found someplace to run, a spot to hide and do our own thing with our own land? You blistering idiots sent you 'courageous heroes' to try and kill us! What for? Nothing! Just your stupid, moronic fear making, forcing you to decide to 'kill the big thing over there!' We can't even have freaking farmland, we have to grow it all in hydroponic farms and harvest thousand-year-old vines out of caves because this is all we have!" I realized that my aura was burning fully and scorching the ground around me. I let out a long sigh, and it died down. Several memories flashed through my head, but I pushed them away. "Apologies, my parents are still a... sensitive topic for me. It would be best if we just stayed away from talking about the war until the hospital has room for more patients again." "Yeah?" The elf was still enraged. Even sitting down, they were still trying to construct an argument. "You parents who killed how many? Your family killed how many more? You dragons, you monsters are nothing more than one large grouping of murders that deserve to die! As the gods will!" The elf was spitting in rage, but I recognized his determination to hold onto his worldview. It was the one thing I needed to pry away before it got out of hand. "And you elves killed how many more?" I asked in a low voice. "Can you tell me the number of kobold dens exterminated in caves, the number of beastpeople sent to an early grave in slave camps? Because I can tell you ours. My father's was two, my mother's four, and my extended family including deceased relatives is one hundred and thirty seven. "You declared war against monsters, you child of an elf," I growled. "And death the reality of war. We know. The Unification Wars weren't fought with swords and honor. They were fought with artillery barrages and death. They were fought with miniature suns and political backstabbing, with tanks and guns and submarines and warships and all the more death. "You say the gods don't like us! That's put lightly. They forsook us! Abandoned us in our hour of need. So we learned to live without them. There are no gods we pray to anymore, elfling. Only each other, our creations, and the universe itself. They don't want us, we don't need them. It's more than they deserve." My aura was once again charring the floor and I had transformed back into my dragon form, but this time I refused to cool it down. "You call us creations of death, the primal forces of anarchy? We are you. You are us. We are sapient, we are all mortals, no matter our advantages. We are bound to this dimensional plane, forced to serve our betters, and live out our lives not with earnest but with trepredition for when it ends. We are all death incarnate, because we can all die. That is just the way it is. Besides, you've wondered about my kill count; tell me, can you tell me the gods'? Can you tell me how many souls they have cut from fate for their own entertainment? No? I can tell you." I growled, moving closer until the blue flames enveloping my body threatened to light the elf's cot on fire. "More people than are alive on this planet right now." I pulled back, bottling up my aura and reverting to my cat form. "We can talk all we want about death and destruction, and I won't lie and say you aren't victims of the war; pre-unification dragons we're exactly kind and merciful to those with treasure hoards. But perhaps, I implore you to consider that maybe we both are victims of the war, and maybe we can one day work together instead of fighting each other. "Maybe, one day, we can fight for our rights against the gods." I moved into my dragon form and darted deeper into my cave, moving so fast I could hear the howl of the wind against my ears. Only when I had reached my memorial wall for my parents did I stop and take a breath and think over my conversation with the elf. We had a long way to go, but I hoped I had put a little bit of sense into him. I hoped that the world could change.
-----
When the dragon cat thing sped away, I took a moment to survey my surroundings. Only now did the effects of my first question hit my formerly-groggy head. "My home." He said. Dragons live in caves. Oooooh. I'm screwed. However, there were no treasure hoards visible from my perspective; then again, while the Monsters were stupid, they still had brains to them, and carrying me into a treasure room would probably be something they'd be able to tell was a bad idea. Pops said never underestimate you foe, A voice in the back of my head said, and the dragon even launched in a full conversation with you. You're selling the dragon very, very shor- Shut up I growled internally to the treacherous voice in my head. The cave itself was... a cave. There was a metal slab on one end, it went deeper in the other, and that was that. In a 'corner' of the jagged room there were a number of red, glowing rods attached to some kind of giant mechanism three elfs wide and six deep, but the rods glowed against the cave's light- What light source? My eyes darted around looking for one. Only now was I aware of how unnatural each shadow was, how awkward each shining rock looked, how each stalagmite could hide an entire dragon, and that was before they started transfiguring into cats. How bright the ceiling- I looked up. The bright light burned my eyes, but I needed to know what fiendish magic was in play so I could counter it. But the light didn't flicker like fire - they were far too bright for that anyway - but they also didn't have the magical circles surrounding each spell. They were... lights. As if the universe simply willed brightness into existence. Each far-too-bright-hurts-to-look-ats was placed along a main hallway clear of stalagmites running from the metal slab deeper and around a corner where I couldn't see. The lights were only poised above this one hall, and they just... shone one the rest of the cave. Looking closer, I could see thin black lines, too thin to be mana feeds, running along the walls to both the glowing red rods and to the so-shiny-the-lit-up-the-cave. And... that was that. There was no massive pile of treasure in the hall, though I suspected the dragon kept their hoard deeper than... wherever I was. There was no pile of skull trophies or the banner of cities and armies slain, and I noted that while he had told me his parents', the dragon had never told me his own. Then again, the cat thing could be lying. Dragon transfigured into a cat. Probably has Circle Of Truth around his entire den. Nonsense, dragons can only do elemental magic. Evidently not. Would you just shut up already? No- I moved my attention back to the metal slab, cutting off whatever the voice in my head had to say about my current situation; it wasn't every day one just got kidnapped by a nation of monsters, after all. The slab was truly elegant. It was painted with the monster language, and then was painted with some kind of mural. I could barely make out a blue circle with green splotches on it surrounded by twelve rings in the bottom corner because most of the door was taken up by a ice-blue cat with lighter strips engulfed in blue fire. It was a mural of the dragon cat thing. That didn't stop it from being pretty, and someone had obviously put a lot of effort into it. The flames looked realistic from what I had seen minutes ago, and the cat's details were perfectly engraved. It was... acurrate. Yeah, because I think Vixie was just trying to tell you that they built their civilization for a reason, and it wasn't carnage. You don't know what you're talking about. We both know I do. How else to you think- Listen to me, you treasonous voice of a- No, you listen to me, you pathetic excuse for a brain. The dragon was able to hold and win an argument with you, fixed your wounds that would've been a dead write-off for any other hospital, and then you think SHE barely meets the threshold for sapient? THE ABSOLUTE MORON I'M ARGUING WITH IS THE ONE YOU BARELY MEETS IT!!! You moved to your frontier village because the world was changing, Lazerot the Sixth. Congrats, you were right. It did change. Now shut your OVERSIZED EGO up at being bested by a creature ten times older than you, and go appologies before they decide that saving your life wasn't worth it. I... I... OK- No. I'm in control now. Shut up. I....... yes, sir. Good. With new resolve, I stood up. My head throbbed, and the next thing I knew was my face hitting my cot again.
-----
When I heard the thud of something falling in the entrance cave, I carefully moved back into the entrance cave. The elf was face-down in their cot, unconscious again. It looked like they had tried to stand and just.... fallen over. I sighed and used a claw to nudge the elf back onto his pillow, and then covered him with a blanket. I watched him for a minute, and then returned to the deeper parts of my home. The TFSU was completely overloaded with the number of patients needing treatment. Apparently, the Southener's hospitals just... didn't do anything, so in addition to soldiers, there was a massive influx of civilians to our hospitals too. Of course, this meant that they were absolutely overloaded, and the Civilized Nations strategy of fighting to near-death and then surrendering wasn't helping. So, stable recovering civilians like the elf were just... shipped out. When shelters filled up because the Civilized Nations overpopulation crisis was too bad to do anything, people just had to take them into their homes. Long story short, the government was in way over their head attempting upgrade the standard of care in the Civilized Nations while occupying their territory. My job so close to the border was remote infrastructure maintenance, and my ability to change size while not dissolving made me an expert at it - and that was before my two hundred years of experience. And then I didn't need a vehicle to get on-site, and was fast. The alarm pinging me that one of the space radars was down again gave me an excuse to avoid the elf and do some work. I grabbed a pack of supplies, put on my shapeshift-compatible uniform, and wrote down a note on a piece of paper. On my out past the sleeping elf, I dropped it for him.

Space radar system needs repair, as it's returning a false positive. It's my job to repair all the infrastructure around here, so I need to go fix it. I'll be back soon. If you're hungry, my pantry is the first cave on the right. You can just eat anything that's easily open-able in there. If it has a lock or airtight opening mechanism (anything more than a clip, really) then don't eat it. If your thirsty, there's a stream in the entrance cave near the heaters. When the door mechanism beeps, step back. Sometimes pressure in the cave can get a bit wonky, and I don't want you to get hurt. Other than that, feel free to explore. I've locked all the doors to the rooms I don't want you to enter. For toilet necessities, the second cave on the left has a properly-sized toilet. And running water, but stuff I can explain later means don't drink it. See you soon! - Vixie.

Satisfied, I left opened the door. There was a puff as the air from inside flowed out to the lower-pressure atmosphere. I could spot a snow squall to the north, and the pressure meant that it was probably coming my way. I moved out onto the ledge and closed the door behind me. At high altitudes this far north, the air was already near-zero and it was still five in the afternoon. I took just a second to confirm with the weather report that the snowstorm was in fact going to arrive on my doorledge using a smartwatch I had strapped around my wrist. When I found that the storm was coming, I opened my wings and flew. Being an Ice Dragon had its advantages, but being a Water-Ice Combined Dragon was much better. The frosty air curled around my wings as the freedom of ignoring gravity filled my brain. Ice and Water dragons both had large wings to deal with the cold air (and lower pressure leading to the requirement for more surface area to achieve the same amount of lift) and incompressable water physics (to let the wings act like a one-way fan blade as they move back and forth, increasing efficient). Dragons might be magestic creatures, but we were still bound to the physics of the mortal plane, after all. Being part of both, my wings were even bigger, making me one of the best high-altitude fliers on the planet. The ability to use both gills and lungs at said altitudes helped with oxygen also helped. Air Dragons were better at flying in normal air, but I liked to think of it like stats from a video game. Air Dragons min-maxed their stats for low-altitude, but I could go anywhere - even underwater - can keep my speed relatively high. I took full advantage of this on my way to the space radar, soaring well above the cloud ceiling and to the point where I could make out the curvature of the planet below me. The ocean spread out to my west, while more land was to my east. Snow covered the north as to the south was the telltale splotchy color of industrialism. My smartwatch beeped, as I crossed the normal altitude limit. I hadn't realized I'd gone so high; I had a radar to repair, after all. I dove down towards the surface, ignoring more beeps as I crossed half the way to the speed of sound. The wind howled angrily in my ears, but I flattened those (thank you, streamlined water genetics) and came out of my death dive right over the radar. The repair itself went relativity smoothly, though I couldn't find a broken component and chalked it up to more space anomalies. They weren't infrequent, and usually marked where the gods decided to look over the planet. For my radars, anyway. Further north, ignoring the north pole, almost no gods came out and wanted to deal with us. Our unspoken agreement was held that way. I flew straight back for my return journey. The storm was definitely closer, but fifteen minutes of flying later and I was entering the opening mechanism for my door. As it swung inwards, I heard the high-pitched scream of an elf.
-----
When I awoke, I found myself tucked into some covers. It took all of seven seconds for reality to catch up with me. Right. I got into a heated argument with a dragon. I instinctively touched the part of my face that had been closest to the dragon's flame. I'd read about Auras in books, but never thought I'd get to see one. They were only ever found in the most powerful and competent individuals of a race in an entire plan of existence. I wondered which skill gave the dragon hers - Vixie, I reminded myself. Either way, given that Auras are technically illusions, I wasn't hurt. The flames didn't get close enough to hurt anyway, but that didn't stop me from checking. This time, I was much more careful when I stood up. I sat up first, then started to kick my legs back and forth. That's when I spotted a paper on the other side of my cot. I stood up without thinking, but managed to keep my consciousness this time and moved towards the note. It was handwritten and contained a lot of jargon that I wasn't familiar with. Space. Radar. False positive. Airtight opening mechanism. Heater. Beep. Pressure. Toilet. Running water. I could deduce some of it. A message had come in requesting the services of the local dragon to repair a thing that has an issue, and that she would return shortly. I could wander around as I pleased, besides eating food that wasn't open or contained in a clip bag. From the tone of the message, I could deduce what a 'toilet' was. The heaters would logically be things that produced heat, so all I had to do was look for those. I wasn't able to tell time, but I supposed at this point it didn't matter. I moved over deeper into the cave, and quickly heard the sound of a stream. It led directly into a forest of stalagmites. After clambering over those, the temperature started to increase, which was all I needed to know that I was getting a drink of water. I was only now catching up to the fact that I had been out for three days, and that meant that I was extremely thirsty. I wasn't sure how I wasn't dead of dehydration at this point. I found the stream next to the glowing metal rods, and with it a clear path to my location. Sighing slightly at the wasted effort on climbing through Rock Forest, I snatched an undersized cup off a rack built into a nearby jut in the cave wall and filled it, before entering the bliss of fresh water. Back in the village, we had some of the best and cleanest water in all the land thanks to snow melt, but this took that to a new level. Cold, crisp water melted in the sun only minutes ago. It was... pure. I spent the next couple minutes simply drinking and processing everything over in my mind. The gods might have willed the monster dead, but if even the monster gods had abandoned them and survived... then how come the Pantheon never told us? Religious issues aside, there were more practical issues regarding my own survival. How did I get out. There was a thud at the metal slab, and I moved back towards it, leaving my cup to dry on the rack I pulled it from. The engraving of the cat on the metal slab was- BEEEP! What was that sound? There was a hiss, and the slab started to peel away. A gust of frigid cold air washed over me as a mage Ice-Water hybrid Aura-capable dragon that I had argued with stared me down. I did the instinctive thing and let out the scream of a human three year old, squeezing my eyes shut and waiting for the final blow. When the end of my life didn't arrive, I reopened my eyes to find the sky-blue cat standing in the hole where the metal slab was supposed to be. Then there was another... sound, and the metal slab started to move back into position. The cat was surprised for a single moment before simply charging the door and jumping through, skidding to a halt right in front of me. Which meant that I got a closer look at her. Ocean-blue strips crossed an ice-blue body fur in a fifty-fifty ratio. Small crystals of ice twinkled, floating here her wings would be. One tail was accompanied by two more made of pure blue-white energy, and the cat even had a halo. Six orbs of blue-white light hovered in lazy circles around her back, and even in a diminutive form the size of a cat the being radiated the power of an aura-capable creature. "Oh, right, sorry," Vixie said, and all the ethirial energy disappeared. Now that I knew what I was looking for, however, I could just barely tell, using my power as a mage, that Vixie was using illusion magic to hide her true energy. "You don't need to hide your reserves," I said. "Though if you're shapeshifting into forms so small that you need to expose yours, then you should just burn yours instead. It's not worth the trouble of people bottling yours." Vixie gave some kind of half-shrug. "They're not reserves, no." She said, emphasizing the word. I looked at Vixie with a sharp look, and for a second I forgot I was talking to a dragon. "Then what are they?" "They're..." The cat blushed, something I wasn't even aware was possible. She let the illusion fall away, and the tails, crystals, orbs and halo returned. "They're my regenerative baseline minimum." I looked her up and down for a second, dumbstruck. She really is a creature of power, huh? "Um.... uh..." I stuttered. "Is... that where you get your aura from?" I asked. Vixie closed her eyes with an expression on her face, and this time green flame started to peel off her. "Part of it, yeah." To control an aura like that... two auras. Just how powerful is she? I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize that the expression on her face was pain. "I... uh... what happened?" I asked, shellshocked. "Why aren't you fighting in the war?" The worldwide-powerful dragon masquerading as a cat sighed. "I... haven't told anyone. It's... personal." "I..." Only now did it hit me that I was talking with a dragon, not another person. Not just a monster, but a... creature with emotions. "You don't have to tell me." I quickly backtracked. "No, no, it's a fair question. It..." The cat let out a chuckle, and it filled the cave with a beautiful sound. "I suppose it's kind of ironic... but it starts with a kobold and a god, back when the Firma kobold tribe decided to travel north to escape the civilized nations, shortly before the amassing of all creatures in these same northern mountains and the Unification War. "Back before the gods forsook us."
Original Prompt: [WP] For as long as all the races have known, Dragons have been seen as violent, destructive creatures. After an attack on your village, you black out and find yourself in the den of a dragon. It's rather annoyed that that is how they're seen, and wants to prove that isn't the case.
u/Lycan_Jedi thank you for the prompt!

Why is Shebekino famous?
Alexey Makarkin, Region . Expert
One of the many problems of modern Russia is the perception of the "rest of the country" from the megacities as a large dull and monotonous province. And little awareness of what is really going on there. The development of domestic tourism has not changed the situation much, since we are talking mainly about popular routes and long-known sights. And it is difficult to recognize the country and people in a few days.
About the fact that the Shebekino regional center is on the map, most Russians only just learned because of the dramatic events. But the district center is an industrial city with almost 40,000 people. With a historical and art museum, two technical schools (industrial and agrotechnical) and four churches (three of them were built on the site of those destroyed in Soviet times, and one - five-domed - was rebuilt in our century).
The first hospital in Shebekino was founded in 1902 - its building has survived to this day (the current district hospital was built in Soviet times).
And what happens not in every regional center, in the city of Shebekino over the past decade and a half, two monuments have been erected (and not a bust, but “full-length”). One - to the landowner Ivan Shibeko, Peter's lieutenant colonel, who founded the settlement of Shebekino in 1713. The second - also to the local landowner Alexander Rebinder, the owner of a model estate and a sugar factory. Under him, a real school was opened in Shebekino, a power station was built, a telephone connection was made, and that same hospital of 1902 was built. In 1918, Rebinder and his male relatives were shot by the Red Guards, women and children from his family soon emigrated (Rebinder's descendants came to the opening of the monument).
So it’s not a backwater, not a distant village that is “somewhere out there”, but a city with its own history, whose inhabitants remember those who created and equipped it in past years.

----------------------------

RUSSIAN:
Чем знаменито Шебекино?
Алексей Макаркин, Регион.Эксперт
Одна из многочисленных проблем современной России — восприятие из мегаполисов «остальной страны» как большой унылой и однообразной провинции. И малая осведомленность о том, что же там в действительности происходит. Развитие внутреннего туризма мало изменило ситуацию, так как речь в основном идет о раскрученных маршрутах и давно известных достопримечательностях. Да и за несколько дней страну и людей узнать трудно.
Про то, что на карте есть райцентр Шебекино, большинство россиян узнали только что из-за драматических событий. Но райцентр — это промышленный город, в котором живет почти 40 тысяч человек. С историко-художественным музеем, двумя техникумами (промышленным и агротехническим) и четырьмя храмами (три из них построены на месте разрушенных в советское время, а один — пятиглавый — возведен заново в нашем веке).
Первая больница в Шебекино была основана еще в 1902 году — ее здание сохранилось до сих пор (нынешняя районная больница построена в советское время).
И что бывает не в каждом райцентре, в городе Шебекино за последние полтора десятилетия возведены два памятника (причем не бюста, а «в полный рост»). Один — помещику Ивану Шибеко, петровскому подполковнику, основавшему слободу Шебекино в 1713 году. Второй — тоже местному землевладельцу Александру Ребиндеру, хозяину образцового имения и сахарного завода. При нем в Шебекино было открыто реальное училище, сооружена электростанция, проведена телефонная связь, построена та самая больница 1902 года. В 1918 году Ребиндер и его родственники-мужчины были расстреляны красногвардейцами, женщины и дети из его семьи вскоре эмигрировали (потомки Ребиндера приезжали на открытие памятника).
Так что не захолустье, не дальнее село, которые находится «где-то там», а город со своей историей, жители которого помнят о тех, кто создавал и обустраивал его в прошлые годы.

2023.06.06 04:01 coffeechap Paris B-sides #7: walking tour & discovery of cultural cafés from Belleville to Ménilmontant, in the heights of Paris 20th

The 20th arrondissement was originally a collection of communes outside of Paris.
Belleville, the main neighborhood, was an independent commune (and Ménilmontant a smaller village attached to it). Both were very modest, populated by craft men and factory workers coming from all regions of France and especially Auvergne, the rural center of the country, and then included by force into Paris in 1860: famous for being rebellious to the central power, they were victims of a terrible repression by the latter that ended in a blood bath in 1871, when Belleville was the epicenter of the civilian revolt known as la Commune.
Since then, what's left of the original Belleville, that is to say the hill in the north of the 20th, has partly kept its specificity: very socially and ethnically blended, cobblestoned narrow streets here and there, activism, artistic ateliers and a modest visual aspect proudly claimed. Funky hip bars and restaurants full of students, lively cultural cafés and street-arts walls rub shoulders with Chinese canteens, Kabyle bistros and Arabic grocery stores.
Ménilmontant, still on the hill but in the center of the 20th, evolved in parallel and saw also various population immigrating, and among them Tunisians, Kabyles and Italians that forged the current cultural identity of the neighborhood. The many former factories and worker syndicates transitioned to cultural and musical venues, still keeping the memory of the places alive.
During this walking tour from Belleville to Ménilmontant, the idea is to wander around the most distinctive streets to really feel the neighborhoods, walk across a hilly park and enjoy a great panoramic view on Paris. In the meantime I'll show you many of my personal favorites in terms of bars and restaurants and we'll briefly sit at several of them to have a drink and soak in the street life. Depending on the days, the cultural destination bar might gift us with a free concert if we're lucky, and we'll be able to continue the night with those willing to do so.

2023.06.06 03:57 Wanuby Diablo 4 ... Blizzard really screwed up.

This crap with all of the people running around, sucks. It is such an idiotic game design choice that just boggles my mind. Why? Why did they choose to do something so stupid? It really ruins the game. When you get to the first city, you are forced to play with other people on the map. I don't see how to turn that off. So I see there is something special on the map, I go to it and its almost done because it was started by another player. Later I am fighting a special enemy, I am half way through the fight, (I am level 7) and out of nowhere some level 20 guy comes up and kills him in one hit and runs away. Another time I am looking at what I just picked up, and I not doing anything. LEVEL UP!!!! So, all this gameplay is going on and I'm not getting to enjoy it. I really don't know what they were thinking.

2023.06.06 03:47 VanaVisera Fallout 4 isn’t the best Fallout game…but it’s the most fun

Maybe I’ll be downvoted into oblivion for this opinion but hear me out.
So I’ve been a fan of these games since Fallout 3 came out. I got introduced to the series by an older cousin of mine and I was there when he bought Fallout 3 the week it came out. When I got older, I played Fallout 3 by myself and started New Vegas on day one when it came out as well.
However I NEVER picked up Fallout 4 until a year ago because I heard so many bad things about it in the fandom. Out of all of the modern Fallout games, it seems like Fallout 4 has gotten the most hate across time.
But this past year of playing Fallout 4 has probably been the most fun I’ve ever had in any Fallout game. I played New Vegas on PC with mods and had the time of my life. But playing Fallout 4 on PC with mods is an incredible experience. I’ve got about 100 mods running and my game is still stable. I am addicted to the settlement building mechanic and with mods It’s even better. In five months I turned my Sanctuary Hills into a blossoming young city with a population that rivals Diamond City itself. All that time spent has made me so invested in the game world.
I’ve built the Minutemen into the most powerful faction and I’ve collected so many cool objects, clothes, weapons and items. I also love the companions in the game. I think Cait in particular is so cool and she actually makes me laugh whenever I have her tagging along on my adventures.
I’m honestly not bothered by many of the perceived flaws that the game has. Things that most people in the community complain about.
Yes, the story overall is weak and at times the writing is poor. On the whole I don’t think it’s a terrible story even though it falls flat sometimes and certainly deserves criticism.
Surprisingly the voiced protagonist doesn’t bother me at all and I actually found myself getting quite used to it. I think the voice actors for Nate and Nora do a fantastic job at making your player character relatable and likable.
My only real problems with the game are the perk and dialogue systems. Both of which totally fail in comparison to what the previous games did. Despite its age, I do think New Vegas is better than Fallout 4 in terms of sheer game design. But I can’t deny that I am having more fun in Fallout 4 than I have had in any of the other games.

2023.06.06 03:42 kaceymustdiggraves [Tenant - CA, USA] Downstairs neighbors breaking all kinds of rules, making living here an absolute nightmare. How to approach?

Hi everyone, hope this all makes sense. Frankly I'm fed up with my neighbors and I'd love to just break my lease and get out of here, but unfortunately I renewed my lease right before all this started happening, so I think I'm pretty stuck. Just looking for some advice on how to continue bringing this up with my property manager.
It's quite a long story, but essentially, I'm living in a four-unit building with two upstairs and two downstairs units. Each is a two bed, one bath, ~850sqft. For my first year living here, everything was fine... neighbors were annoying, but other than occasional noise, it was manageable. So much so that I decided to renew my lease.... big mistake.
The neighbors that previously lived beside me in the other upstairs unit, moved into the downstairs one once it opened up. While they had barely been a nuisance before, something changed and it changed fast upon them swapping apartments. This was a family of (I believe) 5-- two parents and three children, the oldest of which is likely around 10 and the youngest is a toddler. Over the past few months, there has been a population boom within that apartment. As of now, I've counted at LEAST 6 adults, in addition to the children, that are somehow constant enough to have a significant presence in the complex, yet not constant enough for me to recognize them. This alone makes me wildly uncomfortable, as the new adults are big, grown men who speak little if any English, and I'm a small woman. I dread coming home at night (at all, really, but whatever) because they are often outside drinking, smoking, and gambling, and will watch me as I leave from my car to my door. There are so many of them in the apartment that at least one of the men sleeps in his car, parked directly next to mine. Which also makes me extremely uncomfortable.
Since moving below me, I have seen them in the patio (directly under my bedroom window) with all sorts of power tools and saws, and a handful of large planks that honestly could only be temporary walls being cut and installed. From inside, I have heard all of these tools being used as well. I let the property manager know about this immediately, as I was hoping to nip it in the bud and get it dealt with quickly. He let me know that he would speak to them about it, and the outright obvious construction stopped, but I did continue to hear noises from inside that were beyond the normal "drilling a shelf into a wall" sort of sounds.
I have also complained about them smoking around the property, and leaving cigarette butts everywhere. This was met with signs being posted in a few spots that it's a no smoking property, along with a city municipal code to back it up. I've got no idea if the tenants were spoken to about it, or if the signs were just put up to try and "fix" it without having to confront. I'm going to guess the later because while it has decreased very slightly, it certainly has not stopped.
The strange men have also decided that my parking lot is their space, so long as I'm not parked in it. (It's important to note that each unit has ONE assigned spot.) For example, today upon coming home from work, there was three of them in my spot, using it to.... give each other haircuts? And the carport reeked of weed. They "apologized" and then stood directly beside my car, watching me collect my things and get out. Again, super uncomfortable.
The children that live downstairs have hijacked the building's compost bin to use as ball storage in the patio. When I attempted to confront them about it, I did so through a letter, as I do not speak Spanish and they do not speak English. However they claimed to not know what I was talking about, and the bin "disappeared" from my view from the window..... until yesterday, when they left the gate open and I was able to see it hidden just under the awning.
Anyway. There's a lot more, but this post is getting really, really long.
TLDR: My neighbors are awful and I want out, but I'm scared to bring it up to the property manager.
I am wondering if anyone has any advice on how to continue to bring this up to the property manager. I honestly feel bad doing so, as contacting him every single time something happens would just be me blowing his phone up. I've been taking pictures and documenting everything in a spreadsheet with dates, times, and notes, just so that I have written account of all their behavior, but I'm unsure of how to share this information.
My biggest concern is being a nuisance and being seen as a snitch or something. Even though I know it is his job to deal with this sort of stuff, I'm having a lot of anxiety around the entire situation, especially since the first year I lived here, I had to contact him VERY few times, and it was always related to something within my own unit (like the heater not working). So to come out swinging with all these complaints feels..... wrong? I'm not exactly sure.
Really, all I want is for them to move out lol. And if they won't leave, I would be more than happy to-- but breaking my lease would mean continuing to pay rent on it *and* a new place, and I can't afford that. I live in Silicon Valley and I'm a teacher, hahaha. But I also can't afford to continue to dread coming home, lose sleep, feel unsafe in my own apartment, etc etc. all because of some inconsiderate aholes.
If you made it this far.... thanks for reading, and an extra thanks to anyone who can offer some advice. I'm getting desperate here lol.

2023.06.06 03:39 Crusader_Exodus The Chimera - A fic about an OC with a strange Changer Power

Hello! Crusader Exodus here putting out a plug for for the serial I'm writing currently set in the Parahumans universe:
The Chimera
Here's the synopsis, and I'll go into additional detail afterwards:

Morgan Rivera is a member of the Wards ENE, an organization for minors who wish to use their superpowers for good. She's a native to Brockton Bay, a somewhat infamous city in the New England states area, which is known for its fairly high density of capes on all sides: good, neutral,evil, governmental, corporate and independent. Growing up in Brockton Bay is a challenge for anyone, with the presence of Neo-Nazi superheros, cape-powered gangs, and murderous psychopaths both with and without powers. Joining the good guys seems like the logical thing to do: She goes to a good school, her family doesn't struggle with the poverty clutching the city, she's popular and the benefits are great. Life would be good, great even, if it weren't for one thorn in her side: her shapeshifting power. She's versatile, adaptive, intelligent, good-looking and pretty damn good with PR. If only she could beat anyone remotely dangerous and get herself off her number one position on the "Worst Hero N.A." list.

The story is set roughly about a year before the events of Worm. There's some familiar faces present in the start of the story, but there's also a good roster of all original heroes, villains and settings that will be introduced over time and will wind up being the more everyday faces than some of the usual go-to characters in the wormfic sphere. I've been writing it with the intention of the story running as a parallel to Worm & Ward, and for the most part, it will be following along canon. I fully admit that I'm not the best at writing WildBow's characters, but I try and do my homework. I make some pretty bold decisions in the first arc, and recognize that the story won't be for everyone. Morgan's relationship with her power is somewhat divergent from the relation that most capes have with their respective powers, but I'd like to think that it is not without precedent: there simply isn't many sentient powers that we get to see in the story.
Please read the AO3 tags. I keep them updated as the story progresses.

Things this story is:

It's verbose. There's a lot of thinking, inner monologue and dialogue in the story. The action density picks up in later chapters, but it's nowhere near as action-packed as Worm is.
The story deals with some tough topics and concepts, many of which are present and/or heavy in Worm: body autonomy, identity issues, gender issues, minors in uncomfortable situations & etc.
Shapeshifting, transformation, body horror and the unique challenges that being a Changer cape present are all central themes.
Potentially spoiler city. I do not intentionally spoil content in the story, but Morgan's exposure to characters, events, organizations and such is quite divergent from Worm & Taylor's experiences. I strongly suggest that if you care about Worm spoilers and have not finished reading it that you pause on reading this for now.
Divergent from canon in areas: Morgan isn't going to go rescue a character and wind up altering their destiny for the fun of it. There will be Worm characters that probably aren't portrayed accurately, I'm bound to get dates and times wrong, and I can't be bothered to try and recreate some character's mannerisms that I find annoying. A good example of this would be that I'm not using a ton of SMS shorthand or trying to perfectly replicate PHO or other web mannerisms of characters as they are presented in Worm.

Things this story is not:

Yet another Undersiders or simple OC insert. We begin in 2010, and, fingers crossed, will be moving through the twists and turns of Worm.
A power fantasy fulfillment fic. Morgan has a power that is both powerful and versatile, and she will certainly get better and grow as a character, but I am a big proponent of there is always a bigger fish style storytelling.
Laden with eroticism. Like Worm, it largely follows the format of fade to black for intimate scenes. It is rated and flagged as mature; I don't think it's possible to write setting accurate Worm and not encounter difficult, challenging or uncomfortable scenes and situations.
For people who squick easily. Similar to Worm, there's scenes of intense graphic violence, blood & gore, death, body horror, mutilation & etc. This story is not torture or violence pornography, but these themes are a bit more prevalent here than they are in Worm.

I'm posting updates at least weekly, I have a pretty large chapter backlog to work through so posting will be faster than normal initially. I'd like to settle down and post at least a chapter or two a week in the future.
I love questions, comments, concerns, criticisms or just generally talking about the story and characters, so fire away!

2023.06.06 03:28 Special-Pride-746 [Pf1e][RPG.net] Thunder, Lightning, and Storm

In the ancient days of the Continent of Saridon, the kingdoms of elves and men warred ceaselessly with the Ember Tyrants, a cabal of great flame, crimson, bloodfire, volcano, and inferno dragons, and their seemingly numberless ogre servitors. At the end of the great war, the souls of the greatest of the Ember Tyrants were struck down by the most powerful of the revered elven magi with the three doomed blades known as Lightning, Thunder, and Storm. For 4,444 years, none have heard aught of these departed draconic lords. However, fell rumors are afoot in the Exalted Duchy of Khaslaya that say that the fell spirit of Ashikari, Queen of Fire, and her dread clutch known as the Six Fingers of the Final Flame has returned in a shadowed form to Saridon, and that the only means of returning their vengeful shades to an eternal sleep is the recovery of the storied elven blades...
This will be a homebrew and 3pp. intense rules setup -- gestalt, unchained action economy,elephant in the room feat tax, background skills, skill unlocks, 3pp. classes, etc. The game is going to be between 50/50 to 75/50 roleplay/combat, and have significant sandbox elements around a general plot arc. Some of my main literary inspirations are Dragonlance: Age of Mortals, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, and the Obsidian Trilogy.
I do a lot of maps and world building detail, and you should be interested in those elements of the tabletop experience.I am going to use a mix of the Tarrasque VTT and Foundry. You should have a good internet connection and sturdy computing rig that can handle stuff like animated maps.
