Tales of the Jewel

I suppose my issue is why would athletics make you more skilled in the best way to throw an improvised weapon? Being good at athletics isn't going to make your accuracy with throwing a chair or a knife better. Knowing how to use a knife is going to show you the best way to use a knife - in melee ran...

I mean, from a balance perspective, a 1k1 knife is just +1k0 compared to 0k1 rock thrown with a sling, and you tend to have more rocks than knives to throw.

A rock with a sling isn't very good at close range though - like someone being right on you. A knife is.

personally I never understood why someone who has zero ranks in knives could know how to throw a knife better than someone with multiple ranks in the skill simply because they were more athletic. Having the knives skill makes sense to understand the best way to use a knife as a weapon after all - wh...

I'm glad I decided to keep to playing Raya in this game, her story was ended rather suddenly due to RL last game and I was happy to pick it back up in this one with a lot of new layers to it.

Ask away! I might answer, I might not. Everyone has their secrets

I can say quite honestly that I really really enjoyed the game. The storylines were really interesting and the plot was cool. I enjoyed having a little peek into the darker side of LBS as well. I'm really glad this has continued and I hope to see it back again soon! The event glut was certainly an i...

Taking advantage of neither person being able to see her face to calm her thoughts, and once she let go of Soraya was back to her no...

"Kingdom in clouds? Would love to hear that story!"

Raya frowned.

"So have not heard of carpets that...did not like light. That vanished like shadow when light upon them?"

"Fighting demons? Sounds like a very dangerous adventure, demons are not to be trifled with and yet they do it enough to paint pictures of it? Maybe they keep their borders shut because the lands are so dangerous things could escape then..." Raya rolled over onto her back to float for a bit, her ar...

"Oh, interesting. So they are pretending to be Scorpions, or Lions, or Crabs. Or at least how those creatures are in the wilds where they're from." Raya frowned. "Still seems strange to me but I could work with that for a story. I'll have to look for names though, but that's not the focus. Spirits ...

"Dragon?" Raya said, confirming that was the word Qasim was thinking. "They are speaking of magical creatures? Scorpions that tempt, Lions that have honour and pride. Large crabs? Are these real? They're still alive, still exist? Sounds like a very strange place if they have scorpions that tempt th...
