Ithaqa Steemit RPG Week 3
We've brought back the "Ithaqa" Steemit RPG! As always, I will send 1 steem to the winners!
HOW TO PLAY:
Pick A Faction: Investigators, Cultists, or Mythos Creatures (if you haven't already).
Comment below with your faction pick (or your pre-existing character). IE:
Pick a Starting Stat, and mention it in your comment: Mythos or Stamina
As your character wins or loses, your stats will go up or down, and that will add buffs or debuffs to your roll.
I will randomly match two players up via RNG.
I will roll dice (https://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm)
Winner of each match will be 100% Upvoted, earning you STEEM after 7 days.
All human characters will have a starting Sanity rating of 5, and every loss will cost 1 sanity point. If you get to 0, your character is insane! Start again! If you are a mythos creature, you will have a starting Power stat of 5, which functions the same way.
BONUS:
(( RESTEEM THIS POST )) FOR BONUS HIT-POINTS: Random Weapon Generator:
(Example: Hazel [12] / Rat-Thing [8]) WITHOUT RESTEEM BONUS
(Example: Hazel [12] / Rat-Thing [8]+{5 Weapon}=[13])
I will write some fun flavor text to describe the encounter that happens between you and your opponent, and hopefully this will be a fun way to help raise money for the actual comic!

Eagerly awaiting @bryan-imhoff's inevitable betrayal.
It was a good hunt, again. @bryan-imhoff The Rat Thing has done well of late, a little TOO well, @effofex thinks, as they walk the Ithaca City sewer system, together.
Ever since their battle of wills, The Rat Thing has been eager to please. It has led @effofex to dozens of rat nests beneath the city, helping him find all the dripping life he will need for his next Big Working.
The full moon is only a few days away, will they be able to find enough warm furry bodies to strengthen @effofex's Essence?
Deeper into the sewers they go, and darker it gets. With each victory, they've been emboldened to go a little deeper in. The candles they brought along for the job are hardly up to the task. Thats when he notices the sound, little scurrying paws, somewhere in the blackness behind him.
@effofex grips the sack of squeaking bay rats a little tighter... they can't possibly understand what he's doing, they're just rats... right?
That's when he notices @bryan-imhoff, facing him, grinning. With a series of high pitched shrieks, @bryan-imhoff commands the rats TO ATTACK!!
@effofex rolls (8) + Mythos stat bonus(2) = 10
@bryan-imhoff rolls a 14
In the confusion @bryan-imhoff is able to sever the psychic link between them! In a flash, the Rat Thing is slipping into the shadows, between the pipes, under the foul water, and out of sight...
@effofex's candle has gone out... leaving him alone in the dark....
@effofex's sanity is reduced to 4
@bryan-imhoff's Mythos stat grows to +1
What an upset! Hope you guys play again next week!
This is the kind of the flavor text that you can like, even when you're getting trounced. Just saw the updated post from 4 days ago, looking forward to it!
I’m not optimistic about my luck! I envision my next die roll in battle to result in something like this...
Great gif! However, this time, it is inaccurate!
Hey, your Friendly Neighbor with the 1000 Masks wants in, too! This time, it will be in the guise of:
A Cultist, Mythos-based: the "Pallid Husk" is his cult-name, devoted to the King-in-Yellow.
I will mystically re-steem this post, so I get some nice dagger dreamed up by Azathoth!
You won! prepare to receive a steem! Check in again next week to keep the adventure going
Muahahaha, I am one little step closer to establishing the reign of my King! One by one, every resident of Ithaqa will see the Yellow Mask and madness will strengthen its grip on this town. Soon, the way will be paved for his Grand Coronation, and the Pallid Husk will be his high-priest... now, back to lurking in the shadows :)

Oh I didn't know you started a game. Very interesting. That sounds like a ton of fun. Can I join in? Upvoted and resteemed that post already. I would definitely be an Inspector using Stamina. ;-)
excellent! Glad you're in!
@jrej the bulky Investigator is walking down a dark, rain slicked Ithaca street. The usual sounds of the city on a Friday night suddenly seem to drop off. It's not that he feels a presence, @jrej feels a distinct LACK of activity, and it disquiets him. He feels a tingling between his temples, and realizes he is not alone in this back alley.
@nyarlathotep, "The Pallid Husk" steps out from the shadows. You can't see his face behind all the tattered yellow scraps of cloth he has wrapped around his face, you find yourself thinking that might be a blessing.
The Pallid Husk races his voice, and suddenly @jrej finds himself laughing uncontrollably!
@nyarlathotep rolls (15) + (16) = 31
@jrej rolls (9) + (7) = 16
The singing grows louder, and in turn the investigators laughter grows louder.
@nyarlathotep's mythos power grows to +1 @jrej's sanity drops to 4
You awake in the alley the next morning, a shook man, afraid to walk the streets alone at night.
sorry you lost this round, but you'll be back on your feet for next weeks adventure!
Wow I took quite a hit there. Is there any way to boost my stats? Amazing story telling btw. I'll remember this for a while.
The biggest boost to your character in any given week comes from the resteem, which grants you two dice to roll.
Your stamina stat will increase by 1 every time you win, granting you a bonus to your final score. If you look up at @effofex, he's won 2 matchups, so he gets +2
Amazing cover, yeees!
Thanks! do you want to join the game?
Yeees!
@paulavg the Mythos creature is stalking the woods of Ithaca at night. The air is crisp and cold. There is no moon out tonight, no painful light to bother her... That is until she feels it... Burning, itching, agonizing light, It's entering her woods!
@javo1096, aka Tulem Kolkochsky walks silently through the woods, a little Faerie light bobbing along behind him.
Tulem smells @paulavg before he sees her. A whiff of watermelon, strong, sweet, and yet beneath it, the smell of something sour...
He whirls around in time to see her charging down the hill in a mass of writhing tentacles and eyes!
@paulavg rolls a (8)
@javo1096 rolls a (15) + Resteem(10) = 25
@javo1096, Tulem channels his will into the Faerie light causing it to shine even brighter with a terrible radience. He utters the secret words, and soon @paulavg is completely disoriented.
Her dozens of eyes have been burned, she crawls pitifully back beneath the earth to lick her wounds, her power drops to 4.
@javo1096, Tulem has won, he gets a stat increase of Mythos +1 an I will send you 1 steem!
This is so nice yeah!
Tulem lights a cigarette and inhales deeply: "Ugh...These creatures are killing me faster than the nicotine" *walks away.
This is awesome so far! Loving the flavor text you put into each one of the encounters.
@javo1096
Being a fan of the Call of Ctulhu RPG I would absolutely like to play! Tulem Kolkochsky, the mysterious Investigator with the foreign accent who harness the Mythos power has joined the game.
Upvoted, resteemed and project backed! Loving Ithaqa's color palette so far.
@javo1096
Excellent! Welcome aboard, I'll match you up with @paulavg and we'll see who wins!
