[Dinkleberg]

Description:
Name: Iggy Spinwheedle
Race: Gnome
Class: Warlock

He's wearing a long, purple and black robe, and a bandana he painted black.
He's got a staff with some sort of snake-figure at the top, and a dagger hidden in his left shoe.

[ixpitchal]

Character Name: Charlym Zuar'dan
A name from the ancient language of the Kyanin Empire, which has been forgotten for centuries. It roughly translates to either "shadow walker" or "one who walks in the past".

Race: Unknown.
Most who see him assume he is human. None in this story have seen his full face as of yet. He stands about 5'10, and about 190lbs. He is fairly slim, and very physically fit. His strength is average for his size, and though he is not bulging with muscle, his body is perfectly toned and conditioned, giving him extremely high agility, balance, speed, and endurance.

Age: Unknown.
In this story he has hinted once to Gramorm that he has memories of a time nearly 4000 years ago, but nothing specific about his age has been revealed yet.

Primary Class: Bladedancer.
He has mastered an ancient style of fighting known in the Kyanin language as "Takata Dao'una", which roughly translated means "Circle of One". This style was once taught by the bladedancers of the ancient empires, and was thought to have died out with them. The basic principle of this fighting style is to have complete control over the circle of ones being, using training to expand that circle to encompass the area around oneself. Though normally practitioners of this style see thier circle mentally, in times of trouble or overwhelming odds, one will draw a circle around themselves. This serves two purposes, first as a sort of visual aide to help one focus on maintaining thier circle, and secondly (and most importantly) as a warning to those around oneself that to cross into the circle is to cross into a space under the complete control of the Bladedancer. More advanced masters of this style are able to maintain a larger circle and to absorb more circles into thier own.

Secondary Class: Assassin.
Trained for over 10 years with the Assassin guild known as the Blade of Thieves. Using his skills as a Bladedancer, he quickly rose to the upper circles of the guild, dispatching the few who openly opposed him, until he was the right hand of Rhamah, the guild leader at the time. Between his many contracts and guild missions, he taught new members the basics of sword and dagger fighting, resulting in highly trained and efficient assassins which soon became known and feared throughout most of the lands. Although his time with the guild came to a dramatic conclusion on the night of his betrayal, he continued to take contracts in the years afterwards.

Armor Proficiencies:
Highly effective in Light and Medium-Light armors. Prefers his current suit of Studded Leather, but also efficient using Leather, Heavy Cloth, or no armor at all. Will not wear any armor heavier than Studded Leather, unless it is part of a disguise.

Weapon Proficiencies:
Highly skilled in the use of all styles of swords and daggers, from slender rapiers, to heavy scimitars, short knives to two handed claymores. Medium skill with any other bladed weapons, such as axes, polearms, throwing stars, etc. He is most comfortable with his two current swords and fights extrememly effectively with one or both at a time.

Magical Abilities:
No known innate abilities as of yet, however he does posses two magical artifacts whith which he has a soul link. These include:

Norsirani Bracer - a magical bracer which summons the spirit of a mighty black stallion named Soulfire. When summoned, this horse is half in this plane and half in the spirit plane, and so moves at a much faster pace than any mortal horse would move, allowing Charlym to cover great distances in a short amount of time.

"Maitenahanet" - A dagger made of a black stone-like material said to be found only in the deepest pits of the abyss. Roughly translated from the demon tongue, its name means "Life's Eclipse", and though no one has seen him use it yet in the story, those around him can sense the power radiating from it, even while sheathed.

He also possesses a magical artifact which he is not linked to, but always has with him.

"Kirrithaga" - A small ring made of the same material as Maitenahanet. Its name, Kirrithaga, is the Demon word for Fury. Charlym recovered it from the ashes of Milandrer's body. Though he has yet to unlock its power, he suspects that it has the power to temporarily shapechange the wearer into a lesser Demon, granting them the Berserk and Demonic Fire abilities.

out of time, i'll add personality and stuff later

[Rookie]

Character:Dunethar "Dune" Acthallion
Age: Mid 20's
Bio:
Raised by elves to become a ranger. He is in the Guild of Warders, which sent them to Makee where they encountered the Demon. Dune is little over 6'. He is usually wearing dark forest colors with a black vest and dark green cloak. He wields an ancient warders sword known as the Peace-Bringer. He usually prefered to be alone, but since his stay at the tavern, he has brought him into constant contact with others.
His life after training with the elves was spent in the high mountains, where he built his home.
Personality: Very wise and quick thinking, is generally friendly but due to his elven upbringing is not immedietly trusting.
Character 2: Rolden Bynor
Age: Early 20's
Bio:
Raised in Castle Bynor under his father the Duke. He was trained as a swordsman, leaving his elder brother to the title. He was always out with the patrols in the frontier town. Having experience in war at an early age, he met Dune at the battle of Climax Ridge; a fierce battle between the goblin invaders and the troops of Bynor.
Dune joined the battle and saved Rolden's life. After the battle they talked and became companions, only recently meeting up again at Fort Soulaxe.
He wields a blade that curves in the middle but is mostly straight.
Personality: Generally friendly, though sometimes too trusting. Not as quick thinking as Dune but can usually find a way out of trouble.

[Iyanden]

Char: Nurg Eadsplittur-Ogre Maneater of the Eadsplittur Tribe. Leader. on a pilgramage to eat new things-anything. Follows the Great Maw. Most of you don't play Wahrhammer, so i'll explain. He is a gigantic eating machine off to taste new things on his leadership rights test. He will fight if you pay him, or he may just attempt to eat you. Follows the Great Maw, a god of Endless Hunger and Violence.

Wears: A huge hulking Belly plate, emblazoned with maw over his sacred organ, the stomach. A assortment of rust mail armor. A gigantic 2 handed Mace with spikes. Approximatly 13 foot tall, Nurg is big, even by Ogre standards. Huge, jutting teeth and a smart (for an Ogre) brain. He speaks Ogre only---Hope you can understand him!!

[Evil_Gondi]

Name: Abreniar, it means "Abolishment" if translated.

Age: Unknown

Race: Firinar Human in shape only, their bodies are covered in a flame that can never be extinguished. Because of this, most do not wear any ornaments or clothings, as it wuld just burn away. However, stronger Firinar, such as Aromun, have mastered how to control what their flame burns, allowing them to wear armor and other such items.

Armor: Bracers of Worth and an Adamantine Breastplate.

Weapon Skills: Best with two handed weapons, claymores preferably. He's under par with one handed weapons, but is proficient with unarmed fighting, and knows a few grappling moves.

Magic skills: Demonic energy, which can be manipulated into any form. Unfortunately, he was in stasis for a long time so he has forgotten how to wield his energy to a great extent.

Special Equipment: Ruination - A 13 ft. long Zan Batou, it was customized to that length. It's blade is keen and slices through most armors with enough force behind it. Impossible to be used without the bracers of worth.
Bracers of Worth - Makes it possible to wield Ruination. Not having them equipped while touching Ruination's grip results in a flesh eating bacteria consuming you in whole. Unless of course, you are worthy of wielding it in the first place. Abreniar has modified the bracers to also increase the strength and will of the one who equips them. Several designs ornament them and they are sturdy enough to block a bolt shot from a heavy crossbow.

Personality: He sees living things as another resource, so he doesn't care much for them, unless he needs them to further his own means, or if they could kill him (much like our group here). Since he (his soul anyway) can't die too easily he is quick to enter fights and doesn't care how much damage his body takes. In the group, he'll watch out for other people, unless it will end in the termination of his body (it's a real inconvenience).

Background: A great demon lord, during one of their councils on the Isle of Kair, Orum challenged their powers and slew most of them. Abreniar was one of the few who's cunning saved them. Manipulating demonic energies, he hid away part of his soul inside Orum, which lay dormant for years, leeching off of Orum's soul. He grew impatient and tried to takeover Orum too soon, inevitably dooming him to be a second personality. Fortune smiled upon him, however, and Orum left the thing that would have kept his sanity, allowing Abreniar to corrupt him slowly.

Army: A rabble of 10,000, mainly made up of barbarians. A thousand of them are made up of wizards, sorcerors, clerics, and even a fallen Paladin. Another 500 are Abreniar's commanders from his first army, all of them are Drow except for one, who is an orc.



Second Character: Orum

Age: 50. His body is that of a 30 year old man though.

Race: Kairn Kairn's are native to the Isle of Kair, a secluded island as many think of it as a hazard to be avoided. They are a burly people, living close to the maelstrom.

Armor: Silver Plate blessed by Mora. It is resillient against all but the most powerful attacks.

Weapon Skills: Specializes in two-handed weaponry. Everything else doesn't have enough 'umph.'

Magic: None

Background: Orum, the host Abreniar chose before so he could live on, was once Kair's champion. (Kair is a small continent that is lost to most maps.) After Defeating the demon lord's of Kair, he retired and went to the main continent where he married and had two children. Abreniar, one of the demon lords of Kair, managed to place a bit of his soul into Orum's before he was killed. Years later, he finally leeched enough power to possess Orum and made him kill his wife and daughter before Orum regained control. Frightened he would kill his own son, he left him with his sickly sister. Many years later, he joined an expedition to save a mining camp. To hide his dark past, he used a fake name with the group he traveled with.

[Soria]

Hmmm Does everyone have writer's block for the rp thread?

[$tormin]

I was at work then had an ml6 raid for MLXP. Just finished now (<shakes fist at guy who rolled higher and got hammer of apollo>)

[Soria]

I really wish I knew what MLXP...and forgive if I'm wrong, but Apollo used a bow and arrow, didn't he?

[Rookie]

Uhh, we havent hit a dead end have we?

[Soria]

Not me and $tormin...

[$tormin]

Nope. There is still the war to deal with, which could easily result in the destruction of humans as a power on the continent since the demon hordes have no barriers against them like they do against the Nordalfar and Dwarves.

Btw, I am going to switch chars since Terdai is down for the count.

[Evil_Gondi]

I have writer's block, but that's becuase am indecisive and don't know what my main character should do. There's just so many possiblities.

[$tormin]

Get yourself over to Mountainsgate/Telheim/Seven Bridges. That's where the action is at this moment :lol:

[Dinkleberg]

Yeah, we're gonna need some heroes. We can't have the war won (or lost) by just Iggy and his Army of Anonymous Soldiers :D

Oh, and Ogre guy, your char sounds a LOT like Quina from FF9.
(That's just an observation, not an insult :D)

[Grand Inquisitor Cyrilus]

Except the ogre uses a giant mace, not a lame fork :shock:

You'll have to excuse my post if the dialouge is a bit weak. It's late here, and I was trying to think up a way to get all the characters to meet up in Mountainsgate. Like Dinkleberg said, we can't excpect Iggy being the lone defender of the city :)

*Edit: Finally got around to making the character bio.

Name: Chander

Race: Human

Appearance: Black hair and dull grey eyes. Fairly tall, but with little muscle tone.

Armour: Wears a dark green robe over his normal clothing. The insides of his robe are lined with pouches almost all the way to the bottom. The robe is also well padded to prevent his numerous flasks and vials from smashing, though obviously provides little protection against edged weapons.

Weapons: Being an alchemist, Chander prefers to fight with his arsenal of potions, explosives and acids. However, he is also relatively proficient with knives and short swords.

Personality: Chander's obbsession with developing new mixtures tends to cloud his judgement over what's right and wrong. After his banishment from his home city of Makee, he is used to having more enemies then friends and so tends to be cautious around strangers.

[Korkskrew]

I hope you guys dont mind me joining in so late but this seems like great fun.

Name: Vergil

Race: Human

Apperance: Shaggy brown hair covering his eyes, about 5'11''. Lean and skinny but with some muscular tone.

Armor: Cloth, anything that doesnt restrict movement.

Style: Unarmed street fighting, very agile and uses this to confuse foes. Also proficient with throwing weapons and moderately proficient with two handed swords.

Personality: Laid back and not caring, acts like a rockstar most of the time. Unable to feel compassion as his life has been nothing but roaming, fighting for the highest bidder. His earliest memory is his father being possessed and murdering his family. He hates demons with a passion.

[Rookie]

Well, now that most of the characters are in the same area, how about $tormin fills us all in on whats going on in his next post? Because honestly, so much was going on it was kinda hard to follow. So sum it up?

[Dinkleberg]

Um, I'll try to explain what Iggy was doing :D.
Iggy is basically trying to get as much people to defend Mountainsgate as possible to stop the Illusionist and his Demon army.

Quite logical, but maybe you needed to know :D

[Rookie]

There some deal about $tormin and Soria's characters travelling?

[Dinkleberg]

Yeah, I believe they're headed to Seven Bridges.

[Rookie]

I think i just posted my longest post on this thread. :)

[$tormin]

Okay, I will start filling in.
My new chars (Tzul's daughter and Tzul's bodyguard/assassin) are going to the port of eisenheild via the city of Seven Bridges.

Mountainsgate ( http://www.geocities.com/dylan_race/Mountainsgate.html ) itself is the single largest fortification in the human lands. With a population of 23,000 it is also the largest city on the northern frontier. It was built as a fortification against Nordalf armies moving through the Telheim pass so the greatest of its defenses are facing northward though, as one of my descriptive posts illustrated, its southward defenses are awe-inspiring on thier own.
Professional defenses would include (as my page on the city says) A full standing professional army (obviously led by someone competent. Though there haven't been wars between humans and nordalf in a while, there is always going to be tensions, let alone attempts at banditry on the trade routes) There is also a civilian militia (less well trained or equipped but useful for filling-in) Other troops would include any that were pulled back from other positions within the kingdom, and if the situation warrents a pressing of able-bodied people from among the populus.
I doubt that the rulers of the city would suddenly switch leadership of the entire army, so maybe Iggy could have been put in command of either the militia or the force made up of whatever parts of the army had made it to the city ahead of the demonic horde (possibly leading to good story conflicts with established generals, who though not-corrupt or slack may not be correct every time. Give them some credit though, drooling morons would never have gotten high as they did)

From my map ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Dylan_Race/mapupdate.gif ) Assume a one day journey between Mountainsgate and Telheim, meaning that re-enforcements can arrive fairly quickly, or if the city falls almost all of the army and civilian population can be marced back intact (and the civs should probably be evacuated before the battle actually starts. And since the fortress covers the entire pass, the northward pass should be fairly safe)

[Shandi]

Okay, so here's my deal, I am 3 months from my graduation, but I won't graduate unless I catch up my month's worth of homework first and keep up from here on too. So, this is why I am not writing for RPT. Rookie, the sweet little man, has been nice enough to say he will include my character for now. Beyond that I guess we'll see how it goes.

[$tormin]

No problem with that here.

[Soria]

Cool stuff. Um... I hope nobody minds my little...ermmm outburst. Mave kinda got sick of sitting around doing nothing.

[Rookie]

Alright, things are starting to pick up a bit now that we're all in the same area.
I kinda thought my most recent post (Dune and Rolden talking) kind of set a mood. Cool stuff guys, keep it up.

[$tormin]

Soria, you feel free to start directing your own chars story :P You don't need to be led on a leash :lol:

[Korkskrew]

I just wanna get something out of the way. My character may come off rude at times but I want to make it clear that I don't mean to insult anyone, my character does.

[Evil_Gondi]

His earliest memory is his father being possessed and murdering his family.

That sounds familiar. :twisted:

[Rookie]

Korkskrew, In your last post you had *Looks in Crate*, I originally intended it to be like that, but its working better in story form. Just makes it easier to understand and move along.

Finally conquered writers block 'eh Gondi? Reveals a little bit doesnt it.

[Korkskrew]

Yah sorry about that, I did storyline form in my latest post. I've been spending too much time on that thread of sillieness lol.

BTW, Gondi, I've got some pretty cool ideas brewin for conflicts between Vergil and Orum. :twisted:

[Soria]

Um... did nobody notice the bunch of fricking animals that attack the demon army?

[Rookie]

yeh, but they're not on the walls where my characters are :)

I've had enough posting for tonight. I'll see where you guys are in the morning.

[$tormin]

Um... did nobody notice the bunch of fricking animals that attack the demon army?

Aiding the surprise attack, seemingly every animal in the region had struck as well though they were getting slaughtered to little more effect than to disrupt order.

[Soria]

Opps... sorry $tormin.

[$tormin]

No problem. You going to be making an alternate char to play while your main is taking the trip?

[Soria]

hmmmm... I'm thinking about it...trying to work the bugs out in my head.

[Soria]

Gah, don't eat me for making a double post! Just making a second char.


Jardora Stoneaxe
Race: Dwarf
Apperance: Ash blonde with stormy gray eyes. A scar on her left cheek.
Armor:Shining iron chain mail.

Weapons: Double edged axe and an iron hammer.

No powers

Skills: Deadly with her axe and hammer. Not really skilled, but always hits what she wants to hit.

Perosnality:Very outgoing, takes no shit from no one, although she does have a military attitude. ( She does listen to her superiors.) Although a warrior, she has a fairly black and white outlook.

[$tormin]

New chars:

Kerdak
Race: T'Sune
Age: 27
Appearance: 7'3", light reddish brown skin (leather texture). Black eyes (I mean black, obsidion orbs for eyes). Pure white hair usually braided into 1, 2, 4 or 5 locks. Twin rows of spinelike projections down back.
Armor: Heavy steel re-enforced leather
Weapons: Mighty compound composite longbow. A bow designed to take advantage of the T'Sune's greater size and strength. Has much more powerful draw than normal bows and uses a cable instead of organic bowstring so can be shot in wet weather without penalty.
Silversteel dire-edged greatsword.
A brace of 10 shrunkens laced with garlic poison.

The daughter of Lord Tzul, Kerdak was well trained in the use of bows and two-handed large weaponry. Surpassing all others at the bow, she came with her father to the eastern continent to test herself against the famous elven archers. Eventually she proved herself to be equal to all but the greatest among the western elves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jatival
Race: Komrail (Eastern Continent Human)
Age: 64
Apperance: 6'3", almond skin, very light grey hair, handlebar moustache.
Armor: Though appears unarmored, wears a suit of bladeturner leather armor under his clothing. This armor is enchanted to have the same defense as medium chain without penalty to agility.
Weapons: Rapier. 2 braces of 2 throwing darts.

A good friend of Tzul since childhood, Jatival has proven his mettle again and again. Trained as an assassin and bodyguard he has never failed in his duties. Holding the rank of 'forgotten hand' amongst the eastern continent assassins, he has focused his abilities to such an extent that his age seems to have no effect on him.
Has the semi-magical ability to hide from view even in the open in lighted conditions allowing first strike in nearly every fight.

[Dinkleberg]

Ogre plan:

The Ogres were corrupted, as soon as we defeat the Illusionist we can turn the Ogres to good again, so Iyanden can come with us if we promise him he'll get enough food :D

[$tormin]

Heh, I was figuring on simply having to kill him -_-

As for defending mountainsgate, don't use everything you got. Can always pull back to Telheim and though it would close the war on the northern front, it wouldn't mean a total loss.

Edit: Added Telheim description page to opening post.

[Dinkleberg]

Remember my snake staff? Golems aren't all I've got, bring on the Hydras! Ofcourse, Iggy doesn't know how to use the staff yet... And maybe the summoning Golem thing will go wrong.. who knows?

[Iyanden]

Hehe, sorry i've been away guys. Last I remember Nurg passed out getting poisoned by the assassins. Not sure what happened after he passed out. Anyone wanna "find him"??? He'll be knocked out cold, and VERY hungry.
Note: Don't try to make him speak, hehe

"Oh, and Ogre guy, your char sounds a LOT like Quina from FF9.
(That's just an observation, not an insult)"

----Hehe, I've never played FF at all. He is from the world of Warhammer though. warhammer Orges==Constantly hungry, vrutish, mean-spirited and utterly merciless. They are big, mean bullies who'll eat you soon as look at you. Nurg's a bit more peaceful than most, which is strange for his size. Don't want to make him mad though. He can be paid off to bot A: Not eat you, since an Ogre's life is about eating everything and B: Fight/eat for you--But you'll have to make him a good offer.

[Rookie]

I was thinking off having them lose the initial fight, but detonate the entire city when as much of the army is in it. Like have a bunch of explosives all over the city in the event that an enemy army would capture it, in the days of Yore, they could have had explosives all over the city to do as much damage to a conquering army as possible. When the garrison, militia and all the characters are out, they'll all run to the other city while the explosion rocks the landscape. It would be good for this army too becuase you don't want that many dudes continuing the campaign. But its $tormins city, so its up to him :)

As for Rolden, he's gonna start wearing an eyepatch and having a scar part way down his cheek.

[$tormin]

If the players allow for the city to be destroyed, I will not stop you :lol:
I got a few ideas. Since I am considering Telheim itself to be virtually unbreachable, maybe have the chars move to another warfront. maybe the western or southern fronts.

[Korkskrew]

That would actually be pretty interesting to see, I dont mind having the city destroyed.

[Rookie]

I could make it quick and painless and end it now, or i could let a few more posts go by and then let the fireworks begin. Either way, i only want to make the big boom :)

Edit: I have it all set up to evacuate, if i get the go im goin'! if not im going to find a way to plug it up for a while. :D

[Korkskrew]

Doh! Sorry Gondi, I'll just go with it then I guess.

[Evil_Gondi]

I don't mind, explosions are pretty.

[$tormin]

I was thinking more of a proper battle lasting a couple days followed by an orderly retreat and scorched-earth. Last I read the thread the demons hadn't even made it inside the outer city yet.

[Korkskrew]

Yah I had the picture they had just broken through the outer gate and had captured the main walls. I think the explosion should wait a bit.

[Rookie]

OH! if i had known there was an outter wall...alright i will spare the city, until somebody makes another sunrise MUAHAHAHHAHA!

[Evil_Gondi]

About how long would one say this battle has been going?

[$tormin]

Has not yet been a full day I guess. maybe 6-8 hours?

Edit:
Expect no posts for next few hours. Got another raid going. <cries>

[Rookie]

Watch out $tormin, you may miss the fireworks, say if the sunrises....MUAHAHAHA!

[Evil_Gondi]

Yeesh man, calm down. And someone else post something, I don't wanna double post.

[$tormin]

Still got all night before the sun rises :P

[Rookie]

MUST...RESIST...URGE TO MAKE....BAD JOKE...OR MAKE....SILLY SUGGESTION...CAN'T...TALK...NORMAL!

GAAAH!!! okay im over it, we can continue the fight.

[Korkskrew]

I'm gonna call it a night guys. Do what you want with Vergil as long as its nothing too extreme, Ill be back on after work tomorrow. G'night.

[Korkskrew]

Bah can't sleep nvm.

[Gramorn Soulaxe39]

I made a long post here explaining Gramorn and Davroar's story and my f@!#ing computer decided to freeze again :evil:. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

[$tormin]

The story is going along a lot better than I thought it would. I honestly expected it to fizzle out and die in short order :lol:

[Soria]

BAH! Stupid writer's block, brain go to mush...

[Dinkleberg]

Just you wait until the Golems are summoned... hooray for plot twists! They won't be summoned unless someone kills the Overlord though :D

[Rookie]

May have to wait till the back up city, because i want fireworks! and where i am, the sun came up like six hours ago...its hard on ones patience...

[$tormin]

I will post something pretty soon. Found a disk of old rvr vids and am living in memory atm :cry:
I should have another map update done tomorrow, and some more info in the topic post.
I am gonna go with a light touch for the rest of the siege though, it is fairly interesting the way you all are doing it.
Also, mind if I take a huge liberty and start working on a sort of back story to the whole thing? I have the seeds of the origins of the races, and the motivations of the demonic invaders as well as possible divine involvement.

[Rookie]

Go ahead (as long as it don't affect current or past events) but im all for it.

Ok, im going to make a post now.

[Korkskrew]

I just have a couple of questions about this war.
What is the size of the demon army? Is it massive ie 50 000+ or just something worth considering ie 25 000+ or is it like the apocalypse ie Millions.

[Rookie]

id say 100,000 +

Thats still alot, and more coming through his rift in the city formerly known as Makee. He's gonna open a 24 pack o' whoopass on this planet.

[$tormin]

100,000+ seems a bit large, but workable. Remember though, they are not able to have a large percentage of that army in any one place. They have to hold captured territory, defend on all fronts and there are supply issues.

[Rookie]

Yeah, and you've got to remember, he's not going for a continent, he's going global man. We've only explored one continent of this place, theres alot more of this place :)

[$tormin]

Lets see the demons try to cross the sea with both Lord Blackwater the Immortal and the entire navy of the Sune empire saying no-can-do buster :twisted:

[Soria]

Would be interesting to see Jatival and Mave maybe have to deal with demon hoards on the way to where they're going...


( Any suggestions on how to work Mave...she's kinda a new character I'm playing with.)

[Rookie]

I'm going to reveal more of Dune's past when we go across the sea to aid other countries. :)

EDIT: OOH YEAH BABY! I LOVE EXPLOSIONS!

[Soria]

Big boomie. :: grins::


I couldn't find it in my heart to kill Jardora..**sigh** I suck.

[$tormin]

Demons between Mave/Jatvial and Port Eisenheild would be pretty unbelieveable. Right now, the whole point of the battle at Mountainsgate was that it was the only easy way through the mountains. The demons are going to have a hard enough time getting thier army over the main wall of Mountainsgate. The one facing Telheim.
Unbreakable barriers are a pain. They would have to move the entire army over the wall. :lol:

[Korkskrew]

I couldn't find it in my heart to kill Jardora..**sigh** I suck.

Boy am I glad for that, I had no idea how Vergil was going to catch up with the rest of the army haha :D

[Soria]

Ah.. I see... Hmmm... Gah...really trying to think of a way to play Mave again...Jardora is nice, but it's hard to play a character sees things in black and white.

[Korkskrew]

Well I figure we've got some interesting dialogue that can ensue between her and Vergil, you could have some fun with that.

[Rookie]

oh! was that some kind of shot at dwarves? lol.

[Soria]

Hmm..Good idea...

[Rookie]

Hey, $tormin, where can Rolden and Dune go?

[$tormin]

How about you form up a small, elite force and get ready to do some raiding deep behind enemy lines? Supply raids, strikes on the demon civilians who are just going to be starting on getting settled in, that sort of thing. Maybe grab a cable car from Telhiem to Seven Bridges (or ride a horse) and go down the river to the coast and get a boat at one of the small Nordalf towns that would be there. If you get a royal writ of passage from one of the chieftens (The Nordalf are not a unified nation but a bunch of tribes and independant towns etc) you could probably get well set up before you head out.

[Rookie]

How about I reveal a bit of Dune's history now and come up with a plot hole cover :)

[$tormin]

Go ahead. I am not going to force people to do exactly what I want. I just try to guide the story and keep it more along the lines of something that can hold onto a suspension of disbelief.
Oh, and someone else gets to deal with the ogre ^^ I think I calmed him down from his warhammer thing to something that people wouldn't have gone all-out to destroy long ago. (Something about 10 foot tall monsters that attack everything they can simply to eat people would make said people not well inclined to the existance of said monsters. Nomadic tribes of 10 foot tall creatures that practice ritualistic ghasting and cannibalism but generally keep to themselves wouldn't be worth the bother of wiping out and some would even risk trading with them for possible great profits)

[Rookie]

Alrighty, I think this is going to make the plot change a bit :), I think my next post will give a little insight to the Pathanar's plans...

[$tormin]

We'll attack the cities around it. Have a large force encircle Telheim, they will not be able to get in or out and will slowly starve to death as they use up supplies.

Thought I made this one clear. Telhiem covers the entire pass. You can't go around, you cant strike past it without going through :) Like Mountainsgate's main wall, it is a wall going from cliff edge to cliff edge. What can be done (and what I have been saying is most likely) is the demons using a small force to hold the Mountainsgate wall and prevent any armies marching south through it, then moving the bulk of the army south or west.

[Soria]

$tormin...sorry to bug ya, but is there something Mave can vomit into on this cable car?

[$tormin]

Probably. Or you could go out the window. -_-

[Soria]

..:: whimpers:: Sorry.

[Dinkleberg]

Where are we headed right now?

[Korkskrew]

and what happened to the golems? Did Iggy have to stop?

[Rookie]

Well, with explosions, i'd say yeah, he'd have to stop :) maybe in a future battle.

I'm headed west to do some business. And i'll fix that post $tormin.

There, that should take care of everything.

[$tormin]

Added a map update.
Rookie, is the demon army going to sail around the mountains or going to try to slip through the smaller passes (which would be defended. Human/Nordalf has not always been a friendly border)

[Evil_Gondi]

Hey $tormin, did you want my people going ot the northern mountains, or the southern mountains, and where around the mountains?

[Dinkleberg]

Iggy had to stop, otherwise he would have been blown to smithereens by the impact of the explosives. Iggy's castings almost took him too much power, making them take longer to cast. Iggy blames himself for not finishing the casting in time, that's why he left the group.

[$tormin]

I have writer's block, but that's becuase am indecisive and don't know what my main character should do. There's just so many possiblities.

North mountains, a days march towards Bynor.

[Rookie]

Well since we don't want to bore everyone, we could have some fights in the smaller passes. It would probably be better for the demon if he had control of the passes as well so he'd probably go for that. The other characters can run up to the passes and fight in there. Since i'm assuming the passes are pretty small too, it would also slow the demon army and cause it to split and go down each of the passes, leaving us an opportunity to cripple this particular army.

[Dinkleberg]

Something I came up with, don't know why:
If you kill an Overlord, Pathanar will directly sense it, because their lives are tied together. This was done by Pathanar to ensure the Overlords wouldn't betray him, because if they killed him they'd die themselves. If an Overlord dies, Pathanar senses it and is hurt a bit, but not that bad.

[Evil_Gondi]

Perhaps we should decide upon how demons work. I'm pretty sure everyone has a different idea as to how demon's society is and whatnot.

[Rookie]

I finally figured out what Korks characters name reminded me of: Vergil was the name of one of Wyatt Urp's brothers.

[Evil_Gondi]

Unfortunately, I bombed a test grade and now I'm grounded for a week(end). If you could move my guys accordingly, I'd appreciate it muchly.

[Korkskrew]

Hey Rookie, would you mind telling me what you plan to do with this army so I could put more depth into my threads?

[Rookie]

I was thinking for now, just raiding there camp then catch up to the main army and lay waste. As for individual characters, its gonna be kinda hard for me.

[Dinkleberg]

Demon Army rank ideas:

<<<<<PATHANAR>>>>>>> Lord of all Demons

<Overlords> command Blood Legions consisting of thousand Demons.

<Lightslayers> command Stalking Troops consisting of one hundred Demons.

<Fiends> command Fleshripper Groups consisting of ten Demons.

<Normal Demons> basic cannon fodder.

<Food> Yay, food!

<Demon Slaves> Enslaved/corrupted people such as Humans or Elves.

__________________________________________

Yes, they think food is more important than slaves.

[Dinkleberg]

Regular demons are divided into several classes:

Warrior Demons, they use claws, sometimes swords.

Berserker Demons, just like Warrior Demons but they are harder to kill and use 2 weapons.

Witch Doctor Demons, heal other Demons. Nasty.

Darkwhisper Demons, use dark and fire magic.

Stalker Demons, used for covert operations. Not to be confused with Lightstalkers.

[$tormin]

Where do the lightning fast (and I mean really, really fast) animal like ones that where encountered in the city fit in? Are they sentient or simply considered trained animals?

[Korkskrew]

And what about the beastly slow stupid ones we're fighting right now?

BTW, Gondi my latest post reveals part of Vergil's past and your included in it. I just couldn't pass this up because the story seems to work so well.
But if you don't like this just tell me and I'll edit it out.

[$tormin]

BTW, Gondi my latest post reveals part of Vergil's past and your included in it. I just couldn't pass this up because the story seems to work so well.

You might have to wait a bit for a reply :/

Unfortunately, I bombed a test grade and now I'm grounded for a week(end). If you could move my guys accordingly, I'd appreciate it muchly.

[Dinkleberg]

That'd most likely be Warrior Demons. Of course, they vary in talents. In armies some soldiers could be more talented than others but could still have the same rank right?

[Rookie]

Kork, since i made a new character, you can handle Dune and Rolden for a while, i'll pop in to help. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Name: Arothl Legacile

Age: Early 30's

Class: Warder

Profile: Prefers melee combat but can use his magic devices to aid himself in battle. Trained for many years in the ways of the sword and the lore of the planet, he is a master of every weapon. A wide variety of weapons at his disposal he can handle himself in almost any situation. His primary weapon being his long sword, he can also use his war axe or any other weapon he may have.

Mostly clad in camoflauged colors, he will usually have a face mask on to keep his identity secret from his enemies. He will be friendlier than Dune but still warry and will protect his friends. He won't be a natural born leader as Dune is, but will take charge when necessary.

[Gramorn Soulaxe39]

***OOC I'm sorry guys but I can't keep up with you guys as well as I used to. My damn computer's gotta virus that's been screwing up stuff, and now the text for the Forums is all screwed up. Try to keep Gramorn and Davroar alive while I sort this mess out will ya?***

[Korkskrew]

Alright sound's good Rookie, I just have a few concerns. First, we're heading to Seven Bridges right? And second, could you tell me a bit about Rolden? I looked around but coulnd't find your post on him.

[Rookie]

The Warder is going to Seven Bridges. Dune and company were going to intercept the Demon Army.

i think Roldens profile is right under Dune's in my character description on Page 1 of this thread.

[Soria]

Just a new charcter I'm playing around with, not important in any way. But I wanted to try it.

Name: Ink.

Race: common street rat.

Black all over, extremely intelligent. Mave asked him to watch out for Iggy while he was traveling.

[Evil_Gondi]

Man, being grounded blows.

Anyway, Kork, I don't mind. I like how you pushed her in the fire too.
Also my ideas on Demon Ranks (I guess I shoulda posted this before):

Demon Lord (Pathanar, Abreniar, etc.)

Generals/Overlords/Champions

Specialized units

Taskmasters (Soulless)

Main Force

Enslaved/Fanatics

Lesser Demons/Food (Also soulless)

[Rookie]

I just got writers block! GAH!!! But as to demon ranking i dont really care as long as the SOBs will die.
The Demon assassins that attacked Dune and company along the river near Bynor would have to be pretty high ranking.


$tormin, you should catch up with Arothl and help guide him around!

[Korkskrew]

I got it too Rookie, I have no idea what to do next...
Edit: Also, what's the deal with the Nordalf/Human thing, are they enemies? Or have they allied to fight off a common enemy.

[$tormin]

Yeah. Pretty much designed to be unbreachable from ahead or behind. It spans the entire pass and it has rather large storehouses and underground water supplies. The wind shearing caused by the mountains also prevents air attack (and that's why Jatival had to go to seven bridges to get an airship, they simply cannot fly over the spine)

[Soria]

GAH! Writer's block is infecious!

[Dinkleberg]

Welcome to my world Soria.

[Korkskrew]

Hey $tormin, are the demons going to hit Telheim or Seven Bridges first? Or are they going to do a joint attack or what?

[Rookie]

In the demons plan post, he kinda said he was going to watch it, but not attack.

[Korkskrew]

C'mon guys, don't let the thread die! Stupid writers block.

[Soria]

Hey I'm trying!

[Rookie]

GAH! I think i've got it!

[$tormin]

I stop constant posting for a few days (morrowind addiction.../sigh) and you all fall apart? :P
Heaven forbid I get banned :lol:

[Soria]

The mighty GM/rper god has returned! We shall never go hungry again.

[$tormin]

A prophetic vision has been sent to each of the humanoid players. Believe what parts you wish, speak of what parts you wish. They come as dreams and may be believed as such.
((Just so E_G does not feel left out, I will write him up a different one tailored to his special condition tomorrow))

[Rookie]

Jeeze, i didint realize how dependant we've become upon $tormin. You know what people, its a completely open world, there's more than one town out there, just because its not on the map doesnt mean it doesn't exist. You can make your own towns and stuff.

That dream thing was a bit strange..was it supposed to be incorporated into this?

[$tormin]

I was just expanding the importance of the story with the dream sendings. I am kinda stumped on what to put in Gondi's :|

Oh, by the way. If the demons are concentrating so much on finding a way north of the mountains, how is the campaign doing westward? If they pull too many troops from the western front, the kingdoms of Westmarch and Kirris will be able to mount a possibly sucessful offensive.

[Rookie]

Well its a demon army, and they have a constant flow of men, so it wouldnt really matter for numbers. You'd have to stem the flow and sever the head of control (hint hint for later on, dont want to end it just yet)

[$tormin]

There will come a point rather sooner than you would think where supplies for the army would take the entire transport capacity preventing further forces coming through.
The total force for the demon army can only be a factor of the total number of troops avalable, and ability to supply them. Suspension of disbelief hits a brick wall at suppertime :lol:

[Rookie]

when you really think about it, Pathanar probably has an ace up his sleeve. These demons are kind of going down easy (more to be revealed later :) )

[$tormin]

Rookie, how did your guy get from Telheim to Port Eisenheild? Two/three day trip by airship and much longer by horse.

[Rookie]

uhhh....plot holes? :D

[Soria]

Rookie would you mind if I just kinda ignored that bit with your character? No offense but he kinda came out of nowhere.

[Rookie]

well, it wasnt really directed at your character so, yeah.

Why is everybody turning on me all of a sudden!!??

[Soria]

:: chuckles:: So is it for the bearer of the plot holes.

[Rookie]

i saw an opportunity and siezed it? they're just so easy to use! please forgive me and my posting at the same time as others!

[Soria]

:: chuckles:: Sorry Rookie, don't mean to bug ya.


Um.. $tormin, did you have something planned for that prophesy stuff you were talking about?

[Rookie]

i edited the last post to have little interaction between the characters, maybe once the mave thing gets settled? I think i'll uncover a thief guild or something in the meantime.

[Soria]

Hmmm Your post gave me an idea though...

[$tormin]

Um.. $tormin, did you have something planned for that prophesy stuff you were talking about?

The prophesy, as interpreted by the Sune, is false. Lord Blackwater knows this but is not revealing the truth content to simply manipulate events further to his advantage.

[$tormin]

Soria. Lord Blackwater is not the ruler of the Sune, it is the lord of the seas. A rather unappealing legged squidlike creature the size of a large house :wink:

[Soria]

OH! ...Then why did...I'm confused.

[$tormin]

Since all creatures of the sea pay homage to Lord Blackwater, what would be a better creature to send to observe than a seabird?

[Rookie]

Obviously Soria! Jeeze, do you know nothing of Sune Lore?

[Soria]

Ah.. No I don't Rookie... Your idea of revenge...fixing it.



EDIT: Actually, she's wondering why he would want to watch her, since she's never been near the seas.

[Rookie]

Well apparently we all know EVERYTHING about Sune Lore, so why shouldn't you

(hehehe, sorry $tormin, but you know we don't know what you're thinking :) )

[$tormin]

But...but I did mention it quite some time ago :cry:
<sniff> If all you are going to do is forget what I post weeks ago I am just going to go to a corner and cry

:D

[Rookie]

hehehe, sorry, but i don't think i can recall anything about specific gods.

[Soria]

Gah! Sorry $tormin...I remebered some of it...but not all of it. I'm sorry. :(

[$tormin]

<casts tensins rain of haddock (level 5!) on the both of you> :P

[Soria]

Mmm! Where's my deep fryer!?

[Evil_Gondi]

I honestly have no idea what's going on anymore. This coupled with testing next week, followed by bad engrish grades. *takes in a deep breath*
I'm gonna have to start writing again saturday. Too much life going on right now, thoughts getting jumbled.

[Soria]

:: chuckles:: Poor Gondi.

[Dinkleberg]

Yeah, poor Gondi :(
Ah well, I'll be arriving at Telheim soon with the rest of the Warlocks... what about the others??

[Korkskrew]

Well Mave and Jatival and the Sune and stuff seem to be developing a whole backstory to this war. Dune and company are at Telheim preparing for a very larg siege, and I'm not quite sure what's going on with Gondi.

[Evil_Gondi]

Gawd, gimme like five minutes.

[Dinkleberg]

Ah, Telheim... where the wenches are stout, and the ale is willing!!!!......

I should lay off the ale.

[Rookie]

Uhh, is anybody else going to post today? I posted at like 10:00 in the morning, its about 7:30 at night now so...ANYBODY GOING TO POST!?

[Korkskrew]

If I get some inspiration I might post later tonight. Why don't you give Dune a little nudge in the right direction because I'm not entirely sure what to do with him and Rolden.

[Evil_Gondi]

I'm trying to think of a way to stick my dream vision thingy in there.

[Korkskrew]

I think Aromun and Vergil should have a little family reunion, how about you Gondi?

[Soria]

I bet you their won't be any hugging involved...

[Evil_Gondi]

There might...

[Korkskrew]

Maybe hugging... with SWORDS!
But seriously, what I think should go down is an honorable duel to the death to settle things once and for all, which I think Aromun should ultimately win. But apologize for his dirty deeds. But that's just me you get a say too Gondi.

[Evil_Gondi]

Well, if you're my illegitimate love child, I won't kill ya.

[Korkskrew]

Aww, that's sweet.

[Evil_Gondi]

EDIT: Nevermind. G'night $tormin.

[$tormin]

I am gonna get some ZzZzZz's Cya all after work tomorrow :P

[Dinkleberg]

The reason I post a bit off from you guys is that I live in Europe. While it might seem 12 in the morning for you, it's already 10 pm here.

[Rookie]

I just got back from work, so im going to go post now! I'll see if a nudge had already been added Kork. But I'll probably take over again since Arothl is headed that way. Boy, three characters is going to be hard to manage... But I THINK I CAN I THINK I CAN!

--------------------
I figured i'd put a little info about the warders

White Tower: These warders are the highest ranking, all around warriors and leaders, the elders of the White Tower are also members of the Warder Council. The first of the Warder Towers in the north, the White Tower Warders are the most powerful in melee and arrow combat.

Blue Tower: The Vampire-Slayers. They actually deal with all supernatural dealings, usually heavilly armed and equipped to handle anything from a ghost to a horde of undead. They are scattered about and can be very difficult to locate in groups. The tower is the westernmost and was the second built.

Green Tower: Mostly made up of magic users, they can wield the blade with some skill, but prefer the use of magic. They are more social, often amongst the mages of the world but mostly keep to the tower recording and studying magic. The Green Tower Warders are the most powerful on the planet. The eastern most tower was the third constructed.

Red Tower: known for their skill with the blade, they are usually the first to a fight. They do not rely on magic or distance combat. Their skill is so great, they have been seen repelling magic with their swords. The tower is just south of the Green Tower.

The Grey Tower: The lore keepers of the world, the vast library contains every bit of information ever known. Even in languages unknown to the current oldest race. The lorekeepers are said to be the wisest and are restricted to their tower or travel with more combat oriented warders to gather the worlds latest information. The southern most tower, it was the last constructed.

The towers are made of the hardest rock known to the world: Warderite, named after the warders. One attack was made against the towers, but it ended so abruptly and in so much bloodshed, that only the warders know what truly happened, for the attacking army was completely annhiliated. The warders continue to roam the lands, fighting evil and anything that may disrupt normal life. Always the protectors of the world, they will almost always be found on the frontlines of the most important battles whenever they can.

[Soria]

$tormin, just so my sleep deprived mind is on the same page as yours...It is Blackwater talking to her, right?

[$tormin]

Yup. That is the one and only Lord Blackwater the Immortal. The eldest living creature on the world. The one who has outlived gods.

[Korkskrew]

Hey Rookie, quick question 'bout the warders. Would they accept and outsider as a student and teach him their ways? I ask because I think it would be neat if Dune sent Vergil to be trained at the Red Tower.

[Rookie]

yeah sure, you'd have to prove yourself worthy :) so do something "worthy" in the battle. take out a bunch of dudes with a weapon your unaccostumed to and show your versatile :) then i'll have him send vergil off to train to kick more butt!

[Evil_Gondi]

Hey, would anyone mind if I turned this into a DnD campaign?

[Soria]

How so?

[Evil_Gondi]

Mainly storyline and npcs. They adventurers would be some of the other people that helped at the orc invasion in the beginning. Then, they decide that they want to help and do other stuff to help us, the npcs. Example, Jerecunio, I use him for my menial tasks.

[Soria]

Ah... Kewl. I have no problem with that.

[Rookie]

uhhh, elaborate Gondi, ive never played DnD. Sounds like a communist plan... :)

[Evil_Gondi]

Who leaked this information?! WHO?!!!

[$tormin]

No problem with that here. Want me to whip up racial stats for the Sune?

[Evil_Gondi]

$tormin, is that legal? And yes, either way.

[$tormin]

What do you mean legal? I got the 3.0 edition right next to my computer so it shouldn't take too long :P

[Evil_Gondi]

They're an actual race?! How could I have missed that?

[Rookie]

Uhhh, Elaborate on how your going to "DnD campaign" this...

Your not a commy are you...? :D

Commys will be the death of us all...

[$tormin]

They're an actual race?! How could I have missed that?

No, but I can give them dnd stats so they can be used as a player race/npc's under house rules.

[Evil_Gondi]

To elaborate on this, the players are going to be helping us out along our adventures, starting at the orc invasion of the mining camp. Our characters will be like quest givers.

[Rookie]

uhhhhh, i am sorry but i dont understand.

Is it like a summary? i don't know i've never played DnD in my life, i dont even know what the heck you do in it, so could you expand as much as possible on this, because i'm kinda slow...use small words...

[$tormin]

Teras Sune
+1 strength
+1 dex
+1 con
-2 charisma
-1 int
Medium size
Base speed: 30
Automatic Languages: Demonic, Common
Favored class: None (No multiclass penalty if one class at 15 ranks)

All healing effects reduced by 25% (rounded down)

[Evil_Gondi]

http://www.cybermoonstudios.com/8bitDandD.html
Try this.
And since I doubt it will help, DnD is a pen and paper game. One person makes up a story for everyone else to play out. And umm... yeah.

[Rookie]

So...are you going to summarize like that...or are we continuing from here like that...cause i kinda like it the way we're doing it.

That little movie thing was AWESOME!!!!!! I love 8-bit theater!! Thanks for sharing that with me, now i must show my friends...

[Evil_Gondi]

No, I don't want to change the way we're doing it, it's just that I think it would also make a fun DnD campaign for my friends. We're not the ones doing it, my friends are.

[Rookie]

OOOOOH!!! I SEEE!!! *slaps head* your using it as a basis for a game! Oh yeah sure.

just give proper credit where its due :) and if you want me to do one of these, "character sheets" you'll have to explain it to me...


copyright infringement is the work of the commies...

[Korkskrew]

Rookie, stop the commie bashing, I loves them.

In soviat Russia Tsar overthrows you!

[Rookie]

Don't start a political thing thats gonna get us shutdown!!!

Chilidogs lead to heartburn, heartburn leads to indegestion, indegestion leads to communism, and communism leads to the darkside...

[$tormin]

I think I will hold on posting until the fight is over, to keep from breaking up the action.

[Soria]

Ditto.

[Evil_Gondi]

Thanks. And indigestion so leads to diarhea THEN communism.

[$tormin]

We are so lucky that the mods probably gave up on trying to keep up with these threads long ago :P

[Rookie]

Shhh, watch the fight...

[Evil_Gondi]

I think Kork went to sleep.
I think I might too.

[Korkskrew]

Sorry folks, was playing Cs 22-3 woots!

[Rookie]

thats kinda the trouble with posting all night, you fall asleep and dont get up until the next night and the cycle repeats itself

[Korkskrew]

Gondi! Whats a Firinar?

[Rookie]

yes, do elaborate.

[Soria]

Guys, I've got a couple of exams coming up so I will not be able to post until Wesnday. Feel free to use Jardora, Mave or Ink while I'm gone.

[Grand Inquisitor Cyrilus]

Damn, the Rp'ing thread sure moves along quickly these days!
Sorry I haven't been posting more frequently, but in the middle of mid semester exams right now.

[Evil_Gondi]

Race: Firinar Human in shape only, their bodies are covered in a flame that can never be extinguished. Because of this, most do not wear any ornaments or clothings, as it wuld just burn away. However, stronger Firinar, such as Aromun, have mastered how to control what their flame burns, allowing them to wear armor and other such items.

Since Vergil is only half Firinar (maybe even only a quarter), that his would only show if he was in a dire situation, or if was angry. But it's up to you on how his flames work. Aromun might have to train him, if just for the basics.

Oh yeah, I might start calling Aromun Abreniar. This may cause some confusion now, but Aromun is to clost to Orum, and Orum is going to make a comeback. (I like comebacks.)

EDIT: It seems like me and Kork are the main posters now. What happened guys?

[Korkskrew]

Gondi, what is the trick you have in mind? and would you like to use it? Because if so I'd be happy to oblige in my next post.

[Dinkleberg]

We should get some Elven Ranger(esses?) to defeat the Succubi heading for Telheim. I think Gondi's and Korkskrew's characters will be able to resist them too, because they are part or entirely Demon.

[Grand Inquisitor Cyrilus]

Demons! Crystal balls! Mad (but not necessarily evil) scientists! It's all here, folks!

As always, it's late here when I get around to posting and I just want to clarify something in case my post doesn't make much sense IC. In the crystal ball's image, Chander can't actually tell that the ships are crewed by demons, and it's just assumed they're Makeen survivors.
As for the flying demons, just assume they weren't really discernable either - after all, $tormin said they were a) few and b) quickly killed.

[$tormin]

You are good at this :P
And it wouldn't take much to keep him from seeing that demons were on the human ships. The screen resolution of a crystal ball can't be very good, all he would have to do is keep from zooming the view too close.

[Evil_Gondi]

I was thinking of either A) Letting Orum out to convince him with good virtues and a charismatic tongue or B) possessing Vergil, which he could possibly resist. Then there's C) killing him to put out the flames, but that's a little exetreme.

[Korkskrew]

I figured with Vergil's selfish nature he'd just as soon save his own ass if that's alright.

[Rookie]

Ok, im back, ive had meetings and all kinds of crap.

I return to find the place in terror...and the way im seeing it, there are very few female fighters or characters for that matter. Dune is on a slim defense, and Arothl is only killing any because of his training. I don't see Telheim holding up in this upcoming battle. They've gotten through too many times, and the numbers are being severely depleted.

Another defeat for the world of men?

[Evil_Gondi]

Not if my demons have anything to say about it.

And if all else fails, we could always blow it up.

[Rookie]

Again!?

I love explosions, but it could be intruiging for the demons to have a super fort assuming the battle goes ill as they say.

[Korkskrew]

I think it would be fun for the city to be conquered and then have us and a chunk of the army escape via tunnels and then collapse them behind us. Then we try to retake the city with guerilla tactics.

[Rookie]

hehehe, that could be interesting. albeit somewhat repetitive. We would have smaller numbers if we were forced to retreat, and so attacking a fricken fortress that at that point would be the only time its ever been conquered. I say we blow up this one too. the guys who built had a policy in ages past: (i assume) "Either we have it, or nobody does!"

[Korkskrew]

Actually, I just had an idea. Maybe the demons don't do an all out attack, maybe they block the roads into the city and try to starve us out! I think it would be fun to RP the tension that would inevitably develop between characters.

[Rookie]

Like Pathanars original plan stated: Starve us out until we all kill eachother off or starve. This could lead to drastic manuevers that would lead to very exciting fights, like say through one side of the demon army then run like camels for safety?

[Korkskrew]

Cattle russling! I've always wanted to russel cattle, and now I can!

[Rookie]

Huzzah!

Considering they can't even get behind the dang fort, starving us out will be a problem :lol:
Starvation may be a problem for them though. Writing now.

[Dinkleberg]

And of course Pathanar will start approaching all of us and try to corrupt us. I will be sending private messages shortly describing the vision Pathanar shows you.

[Soria]

Hey $tormin', I know you didn't describe any when you posted the description of Port Eisenheild, but are there any Mountains nearby? Or underwater cave.

[$tormin]

maybe submerged cave but it is pretty much only ice to the north and grasslands to the south.

[Soria]

OKay, good stuff... Um.. I hope what I'm about to do won't seem too much like god-modding. I thought of a quick way to get Javtial and MAve to the others.

[$tormin]

Group teleport to bind? ;P

<does happy dance> Leveled my bonedancer out of thidranki battleground. Good times, love being overpowered :D Guess I should write something now.

[Dinkleberg]

I sent Korkskrew a vision.

[$tormin]

Keep the note passing secret, that way nobody knows what information everyone else is acting by :P

[Rookie]

when am i going to get a secret message!? :) no worries, but this is going pretty well. although i am getting tired of fighting behind walls.

[$tormin]

Ride forth and crush the frightened starving masses laying siege to the gleaming walls of Telheim? o.O

[Dinkleberg]

Rookie was sent a vision.

[$tormin]

I got writers block! My brain has officially died :<
<goes back to watching a green line move across a brown line>

[Soria]

GAH! Ditto.

[Evil_Gondi]

Often the best way to get rid of writer's block is to go around it. And by that I mean "Wait until someone else does something interesting and then exploit upon it."

[Rookie]

well, since i didnt have writers block, i just made something for the rest of ya to exploit!

[Evil_Gondi]

Are you meta-writing?

[Rookie]

uhhh, i might be if i knew what that meant...

[Evil_Gondi]

I gotta stop using DnD references.

It just seems that your guy knows everything. But I guess that's your warder/ranger training.

[Rookie]

yeah, that and common sense, thats a great thing to have. I suppose he is a little too omniscient. I'll try to make him a little more clueless and be more the mortal leader-character he has turned out to be.

And yeah, especially when talking to me, cause i have no history with DnD what-so-ever.

[$tormin]

The trick is to have many characters who togeather know the sum total of everything, just like me :P

[Soria]

Great... my characters have very litte awarness to what's happening.
