What is this?

.... Bjorn's frustration has driven him to pursue enlightenment as a monk unbound by any specific order.

House of Ash is an "order".

Holding my vote until this makes sense to me.

SpiffyMeister

there is no sense in the burton-verse

embrace the nonsense, embrace lovecraft

Then no. Player can stay a mourner until there is some idea of what this is all about.

I'm having a difficult time making sense of that sentence as well... <_<

As for the app, I'm with Prof.

Prof. Misclick

4 no. Likely this app will not pass.

I think Echo is referring to the player is not on discord, clinging to the mistaken impression of pressure to retire Elsa.

Player was however encouraged to try play something else after repeated complaints they had nothing to do with their current character but only as feedback to their comments.

Echo

@Puffy "I have only seen them in game a few times since they quit after the incident with the other character."

Sorry was on my phone :D

Tell them to do stuff IG and be an active part of the faction, THEN we'll consider a new app. RN it just feels like "I want free rest and storage"

This traumatic experience led Bjorn to resent druids and their devotion to balance, believing the world and even the gods are flawed.

Not sure what druids have to do with the gods

"Lost Pages" heresy

What is this?

monk unbound by any specific order
Then not a monk, but a hermit who fights with his hands?

Echo

Plus if he has an issue with the gods, he's not going to fit in with a faction that is all about the gods of death.

Echo

Hangman

They've been sending me tells on this concept for months; its been brewing since they quit Elsa. I actually think it's a pretty neat concept, the long version is a lot of content you don't really need to digest at this point - it is a bit DM dependent to really blossom, but I thought it was a cool idea.

Echo

That's fine, but if they arent actively doing things for the faction, then idk if they really want to be in the faction. I gave them one simple IG "earn some trust" task, which took 0 effort. I'll abstain from voting since I'm in the faction.

Puffy

They have to function like a normal player to be able to be a part of any faction

Puffy

Denied for now
