Whee Exalted.
So we had Melzer's Exalted game tonight. We got into the necropolis of Rathess and started exploring. First I pick the First Age lock on a door to let myself in to the control room that held a portcullis closed (after climbing a 100 foot unscalable wall, between creative use of rope, portcullis, and Carol's Lightning Spider spell.) With a little ingenuity (and so much love for my two-dot specialty in Craft: First Age Repair, we get a few things going and trip the mechanism. herod_the_nut blows for his Fae shape after I triple-botch a Stamina + Resistance roll, which was totally awesome and win, and we all make it in. We meet up with some Celestial Lions, who give us an awesome history lesson and then we decide to do some investigating. To be specific, we investigate the tomb of the two Solars slain in the Usurpation.
As the Night Caste and the one with asstons of Dodge (and also a Scavenger Lord), I open the door which triggers a trap of poison needles. I do all right against it and take only 3 of the lethals. Moving on, we go down the staircase, with me cautiously tapping every step before we go down and the next-nearest person five steps back. Of course the stairway turns into a ramp sending us flying toward the pit trap, and by us I mean wrenbow since the rest of us made our dodge rolls.
I go along with Graceful Crane (oh wonderful Night Caste charms) and get to the bottom. There's a lever to reset the trap on the left, about four feet out of my reach. I sit there puzzling for a moment before I realize I have an orichalcum whip. I snap it at the lever and trip it, Indiana Jones style. We go down the hallway and into the Trial of Mercury, which involves running and dodging a couple of traps. We are currently in a resting area (I think this may mean naptime) and game broke for the night.
I am the Nightiest Night Caste that ever Nighted Night. Also I'm at 7 points of limit and my flaw is Berserk Anger. This ought to be totally awesome.
So yeah. Yay for Dodge. And orichalcum steel-barbed whips. And being a Night Caste. And also tomb raiding. And Limit Breaks. Happy panda.
Now for sleeps. I hope work tomorrow is as quiet as today. I could get so much done!
