Shorsand 1746 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) A peasant of Du Loc creating a summoning circle to summon the ephemeral Lord Brae. ---- Background: In the waning days of the Age of Almaris, the Lord Brae stood upon his balcony atop the high-rising tower, the Brae 38. The smokestacks and rooftops of Du Loc fielded out from beneath him, a brown and brick terrace embodying the nature of Freedom and Independence for all Almaris. Lately, he found his mind elsewhere, occupied by mental travels to the Outer Realms. When not in this hypnotic state, he was infrequently within the walls of Du Loc. He knew he could not maintain this existence. What if his people needed him? What if Du Loc needed him? He did not believe in birds, or the discordian nature of spirit-calling. They were evil. Thus, after a long night of drinking, he divined a solution. He took a scrap of dried pig-skin parchment (tinted green from the evile Dulocian Greenhog), a quill, and a mundane dagger. He cut upon his wrist and loosed his own blood into a chalice. After such a night of heavy drinking, his blood within the chalice held an alcohol content high enough to combust if ignited. Thus, he dipped his quill into his blood-ink and began writing upon the parchment a series of incantations that would serve to invoke his person; across any distance of space. Satisfied with the contents, he promptly vomited, smearing a bit of this evening's meal from the Boppin' Scrib upon the corners of the parchment, and passed out sloppily mere inches from his bedside. ---------------------------------------------- Description: This esoteric ability exists due several factors: including Lord Brae's continued proximity to the Center of Almaris (Du Loc) coupled with his magickal-voidal ability to translocate. Due to an error in the Cosmic Schema, an errant beam of aenguldaemonic soulstream energy quantum-entangled Quentin Brae's alcohol-voidal-imbued blood with the greenpig parchment, and thus was given universal credence among Reality. To summon Quentin Brae, the Lord of Du Loc, one must possess the proper sacraments. First and foremost would be the knowledge of the right incantations to say, which can only be attained via learning the incantation Lord Brae scrawled on the original pigskin parchment. It may also be spread via word-of-mouth. Additionally, several ritual items are required. First and foremost is a scrap of pig skin. This can be of any dimension, though at least the size of a man's palm. Next required are at least 3 bottles of booze. These must be of a certain make, either being Carrion Black, Wittenbach Whisky, Silver Star Year 2 Whiskey, or Brae's Blue Orb Beer (may also be substituted with three (3) bottles of 45%+ ABV whisky, though this has been known to fail at times) Once the ingredients are held, the Summoning Circle may be constructed. The process for the Summoning Circle is as follows: The summoner will draw a circle of gravel roughly a meter in diameter around themselves. They will place each bottle of booze in the position of an equilateral triangle, with the highest ABV libation in the direction of cardinal North and the other two at the appropriate vertices. Beginning at the Northmost beverage and rotating clockwise thrice, the summoner must then take a shot of each beverage -- totaling to nine (9) drinks in all after three rotations. They must then consume their scrap of pigskin (fresh or dried is fine) and chase it with one final quaff of the Northern beverage. Succeeding this, they must then begin to chant the following incantation: "LORD BRAE, I BESEECH THINE PRESENCE. LORD BRAE, I BESEECH THINE PRESENCE. LORD BRAE, I BESEECH THINE PRESENCE. NO WIGS, NO RATS, NO TAXES. NO WIGS, NO RATS, NO TAXES. NO WIGS, NO RATS, NO TAXES. I HATE THE TAXMAN. I HATE THE TAXMAN. I HATE THE TAXMAN." Then, if they succeeded properly, the Lord of Du Loc should arrive within one-to-three Standard Almarisian Business Days. ----------------------------------------------------------------- OOC Purpose: To summon me when I'm offline or unreachable IRP in a manner that requires roleplay, instead of asking me to log on via Discord or bird. This may also serve to generate RP because it diversifies world magic, making the world seem just a bit more interesting and whimsical. ------------------------------------------------- Redlines: - The summoner must roll upon conclusion of drinking and spinning. 10 and up succeeds the ritual. 5 or less results in the summoner passing out drunk. They may not reattempt for 48 OOC hours if under 10. - The entire ritual takes six (6) emotes to complete, done in the following order: (1) Gravel Circle. (2) Bottle Placement. (3) Beginning to rotate and drink. (4) Eating the Pigskin. (5 and 6) Chanting (done in two emotes of dialogue, split however the user prefers). - If the ritual sequence is interrupted whatsoever (e.g. diverting from chanting, being hit/attacked, etc) it will be rendered null until the ritual is started again from the beginning. - Cannot perform the ritual unless the summoner has learned about it properly IRP (via word-of-mouth teaching or possessing a copy of the Summoning Quentin Brae: Instruction Manual - May only summon Quentin Brae once every 48 OOC hours. - If multiple rituals are performed simultaneously, Quentin Brae will fail to appear. - Quentin Brae is not bound to any summoner. He is merely summoned. He may leave after any summoning for whatever reason. - Quentin Brae has an active PK clause, and is liable to die at any time. - Quentin Brae may not be summoned if he is bound, restrained, gagged, otherwise confined, or in combat or a high-stress situation. He must be at-rest in order for the incantation to work. - In addition, Quentin Brae may not always appear, even if the summon has performed the ritual properly. This is due to interference with cosmic rays, Iblees, and background aenguldaemonic-voidal radiation in the air. -------------------------------------- Quentin Brae being summoned to Little Ramsfield in Du Loc.
