1. How Flare contacts his ancestors for guidance when trouble brews on the horizon.
Intro: The GM sat there, behind his screen and smiling as always. Alec hated it when that bastard wouldn't part with any more information. At a loss for what to do, Alec decided that Flare would use his ritual magic to contact his ancestors.
Alec: "With resolute determination Flare looks around, deciding the unnatural Garden will prove the best location for his ritual. Their situation had proven dire and Flare was at a loss for what to do, so he drew circles in the sand with his spear as he softly began chanting. The words came with some difficulty, it had been so long since he last tried the ritual, but after some time the mantra was chanted with a steady rythm."
Alec: "I am performing the Lucid Dreaming ritual, GM. I will try to bend the magics to my will and contact my ancestors in a waking dream"
GM: [Responds with what happens, already having rolled the dice behind his screen (or computer in our case).]

2. How Sharee flirts with a guard to extract information
Intro: The group is trying to gain access to the royal castle, but so far all their efforts have been in vain. Finally EchoMirage comes up with the idea to use Sharee's female attributes to their advantage.
EchoMirage: "Sharee makes her way up the street, taking off her cloak and hood whilst doing so. She casually lets her dress slide off one shoulder, moving distractedly towards a large guard that she has noticed watches her. As she close in on him she seems to lose balance, falling boobs first into the large guard, squeezing her attributes against the stomach of the man"
EchoMirage: "Sharee withdraws slowly, blushing and batters her eyelids. "Sorry, sir, it was not my intention to bump into you like this". She smiles sensually as the guard study her figure with poorly concealed interest"
GM: [Responds with what happens, already having rolled the dice behind his screen (or computer in our case).]

3. How Roack communicates with the Spectres to learn what they know
Roack:
Roack shakes his head trying to wake from this surreal situation. It is all in vain for he is still at the plaza and after walking among the spectres he looks upon one, a lone child sitting upon his ghostly mother's shoulders, trying to get a glimpse of the tattooed mercenaries.
"Hello child" he quietly says.
"Do you know where we are? What are you guys doing here?"
GM:
The child looks upon Roack, its eyes seeming to pierce through him as if he was made of air.
"Hello, friend of the chosen" the child replies, its voice distant but audible.
[Then it responds to Roacks different questions, based upon a roll made by the GM]

4. How Hans threatens a thug to discover the location of the headquarters of Aman-Kang, otherwise known as Hides-in-Secret.
Hans grapples the filthy thug into the gutter and then puts the blooded edge of his blade against the throat of the weasly man. His gaze is of steel and his teeth are gritted as he nearly scream to the man: "Tell me where I can find Aman-Kang, worm! Tell me now, or I swear you will suffer the fate of your friend!"
The thug sweats heavily and gulps audibly in response to Hans' threat. With a shaking voice he begins to reply: "Aman-Kang cannot... cannot be found unless he wants to be found!" as the thug replied, the stark stench of urin spread through the alley. The man had wet his pants.
"Then I have no further use of you" Hans snarled, ruthlessly slitting his throat.
"Sharee, can you summon his ghost and force answers from it? Perhaps he will serve us better in death, than in life?"

5. How Solstara visit the Oracle of Ontheran in her dreams.
Maggot:
Through dreams borne on the wings of a butterfly, Solstara soared above a city of pure gold. "This is Ank-Horath" she whispered, yet her whisper was akin to the boom of thunder.
GM:
From the distant horizon came a reply from the shadow of her dream: "Descend child. Descend to the autumn of Ontheran and be granted the audience you request. For only here can your answers be found, though I daresay they will not be to your liking".
Maggot:
Like the oaken leaf, she descended, her arms outstretched and wind in her hair. [etc...]

6. How Domunsoka uses his "Soul of the Harbinger Bird" tattoo ability to scout the terrain.
Its tongue lolling unnaturally from its ghastly mouth, the ghost doll rolls back it's head and rubs the tattoo that has been nailed to the trunk of it's body.
Come bird of prey, bird of fate, bird of omen. Come grant me your vision and let me guide you through the haze of darkness. Come to me, your master, and together we shall soar across the horizon
