Adventures of Caelereth

Okay, here's the new OOC thread.  :) 

I've also created a new IC thread, but I don't know if you want to start posting in it right away or wait until you've wrapped up the stuff in the old thread first.  If that's the case, I can re-sticky the old therad.  

Mina Aylwin at: 11/5/06 6:18

Ok guys looks like we are going to have to move the conversation over here, all right so what are we going to do to transition into Sundrown (I suggest everyone take a nap  )

Oh and Phyth, as long as the cocky arrogant battle happy Coor'hem elf is here there are going to fights, mainly with Drasil  

EDIT: And would you all mind if I posted in Sundrown now, I have some preperations to make for my fight (Coor Im skrewed)

Edited by: Navar The Rogue Assassin  at: 11/5/06 15:57

Not necessarily.  Drasil still needs to make sure Cherri doesn't blow down the inn in her sleep.  

@Pyth: Me and Cherri's story should be up soon.  We each only have a few more things to do(I'll admit, I have much more seeing as I voulenteered for  more than my time schedule/laziness allows) before submitting.  We tried to work out most of the kinks and error in the story line so it should be up soon, therefore channeling virtually everyone onto a board where we(me and Cherri) can lower the amount of godliness and unrealistic bloodbathing.

Navar, spells don't cure fatigue or bloodloss, or at least I don't think so (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Your character cannot fight battle after battle, plus after a while it makes for some boring (and repetative) reading. My suggestion would be add some variety. Have your character do something new for a change.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, these are just some suggestions. Fighting is actually a small part of rping here. Except for maybe WotF.

There are healing spells (won't necessarily help with blood loss though, but should be able to close wounds and stuff), and one spell that cures fatigue, though it is only temporary, and the fatigue gets worse after that.  

Anyway, just informing you guys I'll not be around for the next couple of days.  Kalina should still be available though, should you need anything done.  

---

Pyth is quite right.  I have talked over you fiasco with a bunch more senior members and most have agreed that what you RP is physically impossible.  In fact, you should be dead.  Drasil's spear into your abdomen would have hit many vitals and even with Cherri's help, would have killed you as she can't heal your intestines and such.  I personally don't have the authority hear to physically stop you, nor do I wish to report this unrealistic behavior that was not intended for your character to someone who can do something about it, but I think you should re-evaluate the facts.

Edit:  YES! I GET TO BE THE FIRST TO POST IN THE NEW IC THREAD!

Edited by: Drasil Razorfang at: 11/5/06 23:01

I kneel before the senior players, after re veiwing my character I see he was a bit....over zelous, but as for the stomache strike, the spear had to peirce through leather and at the with the roling move you pulled would not only been physically improbable but since I allowed it to make contact (because I wasn't wnating to be a god) it wouldn't have made a fatal wound. With the rolling enertia (sp) and the protectiveness of the leather the spear would have gone in at the most one inch and then been pulled up to make a gash, a crippling blow but not a deadly one. Navar would have died from blood loss over organ failure and Lady Cherri stopped the bleeding.

and as for a new style of fighting,your about to see a completly different style about to unfold,

(and yes I understand that RPing is more than fighting) my character is battle based, he not a character playable for socilization so I must play him true, and I can't seem to get into WOTF

anyways after this fight I plan on having Navar hang low until Cherri and Drasil start their story off.

Edited by: Navar The Rogue Assassin  at: 11/6/06 6:09

Well now that that is all settled.  I would be honored to mod here, if that is okay with everyone.  

*Bows and then smiles devishly*

Okay now back to the story...

Im so ready for the fight with this Demon of Nybelmar...be prepared for a fight to remember...I may lose but you're going to have to work hard for your food

Here is my thought, what if we made a bouncer character who was basically uber powerfull, but only got brought in when things got rowdy. The character would have not purpose other than stoping fights and would be dreadfully good at it. Anybody who was able to continue their theatrics despite the fear/pain/death this bouncer would be capable of, would be godmoding...

I would be willing to have Ne'iav'rine be edited for teh job.. I don't really feel she is worth much other than as an amazing battle character.

Perhaps she could settle a deal with the new bartender, pay and food and sleep for protection. I don't mean to be a braggart, but there are few who would dare cross swords with neiav, and she has the capability to always take it outside, where we could have a seperate thread, perhaps she would make a small ring in the sand for that specific purpose?

people are always going to fight, perhaps we should just direct the fighting?

I'm already on the bouncer charrie.  I just have to finish my masterwork and i'll have a practically unbeatable bouncer.  The sinister beauty wouldn't have a chance.

Drasil Razorfang CD

I do not believe that having a godlike bouncer would be a good idea nor am I sure that it is even possible to have with the rules set forth.

Think about it.  Someone has to control the bouncer and that person would be allowed to God mode.  That isn't fair.  For all the newbies that enter and try to stir up fights to try out their new characters then suddently bam!  Here comes a god like bouncer to put an end to things.

I believe the better course for everyone is to perhaps hire out a peace keeper.  Like previously suggested.  That allows for a real player to do something instead of creating more work for someone else to do regarding puppeting an NPC.  People seem to follow orders well when they are getting room and board, food, and a little pocket change in exchange.

Well I kind of like the idea of a person that goes "Take it outside!" when a fight starts. And the mod informs them in the OOC. If they don't comply, kick em out.

I don't like the idea of a god character one bit. A "practically unbeatable" bouncer goes against the rules.  

"No matter where you go, there you are..."
Buckaroo Banzai

Phyth Glenfield

Well, there are a few characters on the board who are practically unbeatable.

when it comes to melee combat Ghost and Ne'iav'rine top that list.

Mages such as Twen are basically deadly, thats all there is to it. Kain at night blows @#%$ up, easy as that.

I'm saying we have a responcible character who wont ruin the fun, but makes sure to get the players outside, to a ring where there is a seperate thread for them to post in

that way we can have talking drinking backrubbing fun inside

and violent gore outside.

and if things get out of hand, the bouncer can stop a fight.

of course the person would have to utilize the OOC


I'm sorry but at night, Ne'iav'rine always stands more than a chance. Due to her species alone she is stronger and more agile and more devious than most, mix that with her combat experiance and tactical experiance and outright bloodthirst, and lastly extremely usefull equiptment! It takes a mob, not a charrie, to stop Ne'iav'rine... too bad... because its usually a mob thats after her  

-R'vahr, The Hunter in Darkness

Rvahr, Twen is NOT deadly she is misunderstood.    
1) Realism in your posts!! This throws out all god mode players immediately. The story mod needs to handle this and the more experienced players need to speak up with quality advice, to help the newer players learn.
2) Someone with a fair grasp of ancient weaponry and armor should speak up when needed as well. (Misses Talahir for this.)
3) Respect your fellow RPers .... if they are attempting to avoid conflict, then let them do so. (You can make them squirm but if they are RPing well .... sounds like they earned their way out.)

There are alot of other aspects of posting that need to be understood as well. But for fear of offending Cherri and stepping over my bounds, I shall leave the rest to her on how she wishes to see things done.

Edited by: Twen  Araerwen  at: 11/7/06 4:58

Cherri, if you would like a more experienced player, I could enter in my Callie character or Kareesh for a bit till you get things all sorted out. I'll leave all the modding stuff up to you, of course. Just a little person to help out. ^^ Once you have everything set up, then I can disappear. It would be interseting for Callie to be in the Thirsty Herald, what with all the mean nasty men.  

I welcome more experienced players.  I have only been here coming up a year and still have a lot to learn.

And Twen, I don't offend easily so go for it.  I can take constructive critisim.  I know I do not post as I should and hopefully people such as yourself can help make my postings better.  I know I can write well when I put my mind to it.  I just need some help sometimes an at other times I need alot of help.  

@ twen

Re..real...realism?

what is this of what you speak?

Aside from that, sure!

And anything that can confidently say it can take out Ne'iav'rine is deadly. Deadly and misunderstood doesn't make things any better dear.

I'm willing to help out if any aid is needed.

-R'vahr, The Hunter in Darkness

Eh, I guess I could help keep the peace around here.  

Wow *rubs back of head* I'd like to appologize, I feel like that entire argument was mostly my fault. I was trying to play true to my character, I had no clue Id get everyone so agitated so all I can say is *bows* Sorry

lol, navar... its not just you, don't worry, your not that significant

The first time i can to the tavern, I caught it on fire

hence teh whole "after the fire title down there

then I did it again

People have been fighting in the tavern for a great long time

because its easy to do

And I myself would not have the fighting end. fighting is entertaining. It would just be better if the fighting had its own place, and the conversations annother.

-R'vahr, The Hunter in Darkness

Edited by: Rvahr the Hunter  at: 11/7/06 8:42

Ok guys crazy Idea, ok all of the suggestions have delt with physical aspect, but what about magical aspect

I propose that a "barrior' is placed on the tavern that prevents weapons from being used (swords can't be unsheath, bows can't be drawn), and if any newbs break the rule, the post in which the rule was violated will be deleted.

For any of those familliar with StarGate, its like the barrior the Tokra (sp) use when Scarrah (sp) is in Tiad (the Ga'ul try to blow the planet up and Jack O'Neill save their planet). (Im a nerd leave me alone). Vesk you may know what Im referring to.

We mention the barrior and the penalty for disregarding it in the rules thread. So that keeps any god characters from being used. Ok Im done

Edited by: Navar The Rogue Assassin  at: 11/7/06 20:16

Hmmm, I dunno about that magical barrier thing.  Although I know nothing about the magic system it seems to me to be a little excessive.  We should be able to sort ourselves out without such drastic measures. (still a cool idea though.. I just don't think it fits the context of the Herald)

Really, I don't think that regulation rules are the solution.  Any implementation of regulatory elements would restrict the player's freedom (one of the reasons I think RPing is better then video games and the like, sky's the limit).  Really, there's nothing stopping one person from taking a stab at another, that's their decision, but there could be in-game consiquences for doing so (i.e being denied food and lodging etc.)  My problem with a bouncer is that there's nothing stopping a player from stabbing him too, so he'd have to be tough, but command respect.

Anyhow, those are my two cents worth, I gotta run (so if any of my ideas are half finished that's why  darn lecture)

Respectfully,

Well first of all it's Goa'uld (hehe...), and second I think it's a bit much. That being said, I would like to see rules that say no fighting in the Tavern. It's kind of a pain to have to incoporate all those fights into the role playing of characters who aren't in them.

A seperate thread, as R'vhar suggested,  would be great for that. Then people could spar, practise, and fight all they want. And not get in the way of everyone else.

Hail and well met all
I am new about this Realm and seek adventure
May I join your marry storytelling game, in the tavern?

First you'll have to read the rules and stuff and create a character in the CD Forum. Only titled/approved characters are allowed in the Herald. ^^

Hey that guy sounded like fun, can't wait till he's titled....means one more person for Navar to beat up....(that was a joke) HUMOR ME  

The magic barrier wouldn't fit any ximaxian magic I can think of, and I really couldn't see a tavern being enchanted in such a way. Far too powerful.

Yes, people would have to respect the bouncer, But a newbie is going to respect and oldbie who can write well and has an intimidating character. Also, sneaking up on a character who's job it is to watch the tavern would not be easy, their back would be against the wall.

Ne'iav'rine would never allow herself to be taken advantage in such a way...

then again, Ne'iav'rine has a penchant for sentient flesh....

-R'vahr, The Hunter in Darkness

Yes, the barrier won't work, and in any case, it's going to be unrealistic.  Using bouncer NPCs (not godly ones though) would be much better, and along with OOC pressure, that should keep fights down to a realistic level.  You might want to consider having some other NPCs too, such as bartenders waiters, etc.  IIRC, such roles have, in the past, usually been taken by PCs, which can cause problems if the player leaves or disappears.

I like what Mina's saying.  Thumbs up for that strategy.

@ Cherri:  I can take control of some of the NPCs for you.  It will allow us to practice our teamwork for Chan'vai.     Speaking of which have you finished your stuff?  I've been waiting for your e-mail to continue.

Drasil Razorfang CD

Yes, NPC's are a very good idea

I suggest

2 bar maids, 1 bar tender, 1 hand (the tender's son) and the inn keeper.

Names anyone?

R'vahr enjoys:

Samuel (innkeep)

Joseph (barkeep)

Jaramiah (Stable boy)

Rose (babe 1)

Jasmine (babe 2)

Ne'iav'rine (Bouncer)

I would be willing to overhaul Ne'iav'rine's CD so that she ends up working for the tavern, it works because she ends up in Raz anyways. I really don't think there is anything much more intimdating that Ne'iav'rine in full armor and weaponry. And she would enjoy a fighting some hot heads. Of course, over the weeks a few of the more violent and deadly tavern goers have left without word (not that anyone missed them) and forgot some of their equiptment in their rooms. Most assumed they had been spooked, people such demeanor were ususually running from something, perhaps they had thought the law was catching up. In truth, the sands quickly hide blood, and human bones are not uncommon in a place so deadly as the Raz.  

Basically she eats the more vicous and down right evil of the tavern goers, not PC's of course.

And she eats her meals only meat and raw.

If I leave, Ill give someone I trust the password the Ne'iav'rine's account and they can take over. She has a unique password so im good with that.

ORRIL! *glomps* Long time no see, buddy. ^^

Ok NAvar fought and beat Drasil, almost dieing himself Navar shows a humane side and carries Drasil to his room to cure him of the deadly poison.

After being healed by Lady Cherri NAvar went back down stairs and picked a fight with Neviern (Im sorry Im bad with spelling) a Nybelmarian orc Known for killing Coorhem. Waiting to night fall to fight (the orc is blinded by bright lights)
Navar goes out and sets up a battle field Now he awaits night to fight the most challanging battle ever to avenge his commrads (he'll probably lose) ok the now you're all caught up...welcome back man

so that's what Navar's been doin', meanwhile the rest of us have been playin' nice, chatting and bein' pleasant... Here are the most recent events as I understand 'em (I might be wrong on a couple of counts and I know I'm leaving people out) in point form.

after the fight,

Drasil and Cherri were upstairs sleeping in bed
R'vhar and Kali are talking downstairs
Navar is outside prepping for an ass whoopin' as threatened by Neiavrine (she said she'd wait until dark, then eat Navar for breaky)
Rhaki is driftin' around

next
Cherri starts to dream-cast a spell probably capable of doing a lot of damage to herself and Drasil
Rhaki sees this and rushes downstairs to get help,

next
Drasil wakes up in the nick of time and stops the spell before it gets out of hand.
Rhaki gets R'vhar to come help with the spell situation and R'vhar, not knowing that the crisis has been averted climbs the outside wall and climbs in through the window to Drasil and Cherri's room, interrupting an intimate moment... awkward (or at least it would be if he wasn't so damned handsome)

Right now:
Navar's outside playin' with flammables
R'vhar, Drasil, and Cherri are upstairs
Rhaki is upstairs in the hall (I think that's where he is anyhow)
Kali's dozing in the tavern.

There's also Jarrl, Nina, and Tiras who are in the bar but haven’t done anything for a while, not since Drasil was unconscious on the floor of the tavern anyhow.

Ok, so that's my recap... from memory... BAD memory... If I missed or misinterpreted, or left out any incredibly important details, feel free to slap me (but be gentle).

Oh, yeah... Sorry Vesk, I fully forgot about your nervous breakdown... my condolences.  Yeah, I'm on Navar's side with this one, I'd love to see a name other then my own on the "last comment" box.  On the other hand, I just wrote a midterm yesterday so I can appreciate how busy things are at the moment.

Ok Navar...We are gonna go through this again.  You didn't beat Drasil.  You cheated.  There is no possible way to beat him in a fair fight.  Therefore you do not have the ability to say that you won.

Buckaroo Banzai

Phyth Glenfield

...I do.  Well not really all that much but it makes a difference.

Drasil Razorfang CD

First off Drasil in combat its not how the fight was fought but how it ends. What you call "cheating" ws a taticful skill that rendered you character at the mercy of mine...all intents in purposes you lost.

Second, their is more to battle then being able to out sword play an opponent, its being able to use your opponents weaknesses to your advantage, and waiting for the time to strike at those weaknesses.

Oh and on a more constructive note....for those who what to fight (I believe Rvahr touched on this) but create a seperat thread out side that is for those who want to fight, (the threads location will of course be out side. Just a thought

...Thats a bad idea.  Its just a waste.  It will mess up the flow of everything.(The combat thread)

Drasil Razorfang CD

So... I didn't missed a lot, now I must think in a way to make a coherent entrance with the fact that Navar didn't felt in my taunt and I couldn't shock him...

Maybe the perfect excuse... fake awaking : P

For the thread idea... I think a batle arena thread would be a good idea, just outside the Thirsty Herald.

What's my magic? My treasure. What's my God? My freedom. My law? the strength and the wind. My mother country the sky So Orril Miés'éfer, Sky master.

...that would take away from the whole point.  The idea is to reduce fighting.  by opening an arena it will be encouragement.  It will still throw off the story line.

Drasil Razorfang CD

Drasil, (sounds like your just upset with my last post, I didn't mean to offend you, sorry) but the Tavern is basically made for New players and new players want to fight with their new Characters. Im just suggesting we transfer the fighting completly out side of the Tavern (Tavern for Conversation Out side for Fights) this way players can fight and leave the peace loving patrons alone.

Okay guys.  I have lost my desktop comp and have been reduced to using my laptop.  For some reason I can only stay signed in in the Developers Forum and not in RPing.  Just to let you know what is going on with that.  I haven't posted anything yet, kinda waiting on Drasil to post something, but I have been watching the threads and conversations.

First off, stop arguing.  It is really getting old.  

Second thing, Drasil, Navar's character fights as his tribe depicts.  If you see it as "cheating" then so be it.  It doesn't make it so.  And Navar, you really don't "win" a fight until someone dies or they submit, neither of which Drasil did willingly.  His body succombing to poison is different then him submitting to you of his own free will which is what I think you were going for.

Now, can we please drop it.  

As far as the purpose of the Tavern...

the whole purpose of the tavern as mentioned before is for new players, and those who are RPing else where and find free time on their hands, to test out their RPing skills in many aspects.  Mostly on how to form a proper post and executing combat posts.  The tavern shows more leniency towards posting as far as what is possible and what is not. What can pass and what can not.  As you can see we puppet each others character's.  Just one example.

The whole point was to not tear up the tavern.  There should be NO FIGHTING INSIDE THE TAVERN.  All fights should be taken outside.  The place has already been scorched and if you really take into account all the fighting inside the place there won't be any tables left whole for people to sit at and blood is everywhere.  And guess what likes blood?  Flies.  So now we have flies everywhere inside, the reek of blood and nasty smelling men, etc.  

Fighting can not and should not be taken from the tavern, but the guidelines have to be respected and observed.  

Everyone might need to reread the rules of the Tavern.  we don't necessarily need to open a new thread.  There are enough threads right now.  Some may even need to be archived.  

Oh, and Neiverene (sp) are you still playing Kain?  Just a thought.  Capher was looking for you if you are.  If not, don't worry about it.

Every character has weaknesses.  The mods won't pass a character that is not pretty well balanced in their strength and weaknesses, at least they used not to.  Play on those weaknesses, but remember that if your opponent is from another land and your is not that well traveled, you won't know that much about them and so can not play upon their weaknesses immediately.  Keep it fairly realistic.  If you just walk up to a stranger and smack the world out of them are you immediately going to know what their weaknesses are?  No of course not.

How many of you have actually been in a fight?  I mean physically in a fight.  It is different than the movies or tv.  You get tired, you get bloody, you limp, you loose a tooth, or get your nose broke.  Same thing applies here.  Most of the time people who really fight are not trying to mortally wound each other.  Usually the whole point is to get the other to submit in one form or another.  Get it.  I know no one likes to lose.  Hence why godding is so popular.

Okay done with my little rampage.  Sorry if I offended anyone, this is just the way I see it.  If I am misinformed then I do sincerely apologize.

Cherri, now that you have shiny new modship in this forum, how about updating the "Who's Currently in the Tavern" thread?

when anyone update who is currently in the tavern i hope you dont forget that both my Characters are here , namely Malavon and Tiras .

Beauty is how you feel inside , and it reflects in you eyes . It is not something physical.Tiras The White Rose

Sorry for taking so long Cherri, to post that is.  I've been working on some dev thingies.  About your problem though, with staying logged in, that should fix itself as we will soon be transfering to a new server(designated solely for Santharia) that is formated just like the Dev board.  

Drasil Razorfang CD

... When I proposed the batle arena outside the thirsty herald I meant outdside the thirsty herald subforum, as an extra subforum made for battles only (I bet some day a guy will step in and say he only wants a beer...)

Now, is there a coherent way to step in the story again taking in acount my last post?

What's my magic? My treasure. What's my God? My freedom. My law? the strength and the wind. My mother country the sky So Orril Miés'éfer, Sky master.

Cherri, first off I will ask again .... Mind if I jump in somewhere? Secondly, if you need help for a bit in here, I would be willing to assist till your comp problems are resolved. Ezmail me if you are needing some help.

Edited by: Twen  Araerwen  at: 11/12/06 0:08

Sorry Twen, went on a rampage and forgot to answer ya.  

By all means jump in anytime and place you want to.  You are mod here and have been around alot longer than I.  Any help will be welcomed.  Any suggestions are also welcomed.

So Orill, back track your post.  I believe I addressed you.  Respond in a way that would not make Cherri answer you and then take into account all that has happened.  Maybe you got up and left.  Perhaps you fell asleep in a corner somewhere.  Just thouhts.

Lady Cherri, your right and did not mean to drag out my arrgument with Drasil, (Drasil I would like again to appologize and if I upset you in any way Im sorry and I would like to put it behind us and push on)

Cherri, about the fighting, she is right...now while I tried to have Navar exempt some battle weariness, by passing out and being light headed, I did not do well enough. And yes I have fought on numerous occasion, mainly sparring (hand to hand and weapons). fencing and training (I study Taijutsu and European warfare). So once again I appologize and will try to take fatigue (sp) in to account more offten. Navar

Thank you Navar.

I thought you might react like that....but remember Navar is very arrogant and territorial, and picture this right before he pssed out the second time, he had just placed Drasil in his bed and when he woke up you had passed from weariness. Now he comes back and HIS blankets are being used to cover your self and his rival Drasil. plus I was bored and wanted to do something contriversial. I didn't mean to offend...but Navar did so there.  

This is how you feed your alter ego isn't? Isn't it!  Just admit it.   Okay, you know you probably just started another fight with Drasil...which I guess was the intention.

Just posted, asumed Navar started bleeding again due to the hit with the floor.

What's my magic? My treasure. What's my God? My freedom. My law? the strength and the wind. My mother country the sky So Orril Miés'éfer, Sky master.

I recently had the same idea Orril had, of creating an arena forum for those who want to indulge in combat.  I haven't proposed it to the other admins and mods though, since it could potentially cause some big problems, such drawing people away from the stories.  That's something I don't want to have happening.  

Rvahr, I said NPCs.  Ne'iav'rine certainly isn't a NPC.  And she doesn't seem like much of a bouncer to me either.

Navar...PG13. The language is getting a bit extreme.

Wow this makes five or six people near my room....I smell a party. See Navar's more popular than I thought

Anyways sorry about the language but thats how I thought Navar would react

and yes my alter ego needs attention sometimes

Navar, such language is not allowed in posts anywhere on this board. I don't care if your character would react in that manner, children post and play here, and such language is not tolerated. If your character absolutely needs to swear, then look here for Santharian curses. They are far more mild than the swear words you've chosen to use in your post. Whatever you do, you will need to edit your post and remove said swear words. There are no exceptions, they are not allowed within posts IC or OOC on Santharia.

Navar I have edited your post.  I thought that you would have taken it upon yourself to correct but apparently not.  That is twice that we have asked you to watch the language.  I will not do so again.  Vesk is most right.  Children play here.  And while most are teenagers and are probably used to saying such things, we will not tolerate that type of language use here on this board or any where else in the Santharian Realm.

To Vesk Lady Cherri and all Santharians, I am ashamed of my self and hiding behind my character is not excuse for such laungage. I am humbly sorry and Cherri its not your responsibility to clean up my messes, I should be the one doing my own work. Once again I appologize and assure alll that this problem will not occur again.

EDIT: I have back tracked through five pages of first flame so I ask that it not be shut down quite yet....I want to correct my mistake. Just incase someone decides to dive into Tavern archives. Please let me do this in pentance.

Hey Drasil , you can send me a email to Rcosme@sapo.pt or an ezmail i guess , your choice .
If it is something not confidencial you can ask here if you like.

I know Im going to sound like a broken record but we died again.....some one do something....anything...Im so bored. (I may sound annoying but im just trying to kepp things moving)

Yea, everyone think you must die there so they do nothing... lol

about swearing: Do what I do, use the censure ### or the clasic #$="#/$&!( it will keep you out of problems and let the imagination of those how know many swear words to use 'em all.

I wasn't planning on closing down the other threads.  The ones I moved were not being used at all.  New players still need the older thread to catch up on, so don't worry it won't be closed anytime soon by me.

And Navar your apology is accepted.  

As far as things dying down, I amgiving Drasil a chance to post.  He is busy with our story (which I need to finish up doing some things as well) and working on Dev projects.  

Me?  I have a sick baby and a family to tend to, cook for, etc. before I cando anything in relative peace.  Even then I have my stinky head climbing all over me and whining when she doesn't get the attention she wants.  Got to love being an only child and the terrible twos.  Take right now for instance:  she is quietly ripping all the ribbon out of the typewriter we have sitting in the floor and since I began typing this has moved to coloring in her father's passport.  

Off to check a few things and then finishing up a few others.

Sorry for taking so long.  Its the week before Thanksgiving break so EVERY teacher feels the need to cram in a test.  Ironically, they all were "so thoughtful" and decided to put their tests towards the end of the week, putting a test in almost every subject on thursday as well as one every other day of the week. *sighs*  My free time has been spent sleeping(which I highly recommend.  It does wonders) working on an extensive five part masterwork and trying to get Cherri to respond to my thousands of reminders

Anyways, this Thursday I will be leaving to attend a conference at Rutgers University and will not be back until that Sunday.  I will try to post before then, but if not, I have that following week off from school and should be able to up my activity

Good then we are trading out our Holiday time.  I guess now is as good as any to post this.  I will not be here Nov. 21-27.  I will be gone to VA for the Turkey Day Holiday.  I will againtake a leave from Dec. 21-28 for the same purpose except for Christmas.  I had to cram in my vacation days at work.  They don't roll over to the new year.  Which bites by the way.  

Anyways.  Drasil will be around, and I have responded to all of you messages thank you very much....just maybe not on time...

I am writing the outline for Ch. 2 (don't worry all those who are wondering about our story we are definately far past ch. 2 thanks to Drasil so Navar be nice to him )

Okay as you all well know by now when the switch over to the new system occurrs the RP threads will be temporarly down.  Both the Tavern and another thread I play in are slowing down quite a bit.  I guess we don't want to get too involved in something just to have to put it on ice for a while.

Anyways, Drasil will post hen he can and until then Navar is going to be suspended in time so as not to bleed to death.

Cherri, and I guess everyone else too, the transfer will not be taking place, do to the best of my knowledge as the server conned our webmaster, requesting a price that far exceeded the original value.  Basically they are kicking us off the new server(yes the main site and the dev board too) unless Art pays about $300.  So I guess we will be sticking with Ezboard till the membership runs out.

R'vahr has responded.

so uh... we just got pwned then, eh?

Rhavar would you mind sumerizing your response here, or PMing it to me.  I'm only sorta sure as to what Cherri asked and your participation would be outstanding do to some certain...lackings...in some areas.

Hi Callie,

*Thinks, ... "expecially when they're not in the middle of everything." Is that ego or does that sound like something directed towards an introvert who's currently unattended to?  I'd have no problem getting out of the Tavern for a bit, it'll be a nice chance for Kali to get out of that stuffy place and clear her head.  That and she usually just sets up her tent for sleeping.

-- "It is the extraordinary people that we tell stories about, still, everyone has a story if you look hard enough." --

Kali Rae

lol. No, that was just saying that usually, if your character isn't like, an extrovert (which Callie is not) then they can easily be over looked.

And, like I (yes, I'm Callie) whenever someone's not busy. She can sleep for a while, the poor little thing.

lol ok, ego deflated

I'm gonna come discover you anyhow.  I can see the encounter being fun, especially is Phyth comes out too.  Kali not being good with people without prep, you, and Phyth should have an interesting time.  I'm still having a time figuring out Kali's personality so it'll help me out as well I'm sure.

-- "It is the extraordinary people that we tell stories about, still, everyone has a story if you look hard enough." --

Kali Rae

Heh.....you should read Callie's CD. She doesn't like people in general....especially those of the male gender. Why else do you think that she crashed in the stable....that and partcially the fact that she's 14 years old.

Yeah, I read it before I posted.. that girl's had it rough, she's pretty much on 'suvival' mode.  I'm interested to see how she handles social interaction seeing as it's been 100% negative in the past.

-- "It is the extraordinary people that we tell stories about, still, everyone has a story if you look hard enough." --

well, aside from your lack of comprehensive english in that request, I said that I would.

Mind explaining yourself Drasil?

-R'vahr, The Hunter in Darkness

...That was completely comprehensible.  And explaining myself about what?

Drasil Razorfang CD

Hi Orril,

I just wanted to mention one thing about your most resent post.  You write that he walks to where the woman is standing, but Kali's flat on her keister at the moment.  That's all,

Dear Ladi Cherri, I am no longer a mod here. Though I have considered begging for my title back in this particular story thread. I would first like to ask you, "Would you mind modding with me here?" that is if the Admins. find that I could do so.

Okay guys and gals.  We need to address a very serious issue that I have been letting lye for quite a while.

It has been brought to my attention that the quality of the posts here at the Tavern is very poor for the most part.  Too many people take their character's too far from form.  Too many times have the posts not read well or contained information that was inaccurate.  

Too many of the younger players are not following form or guidelines as posted everywhere on the site.  The posts are constructed poorly, are uninteresting, too far fetched, use improper grammar, etc.  

This type of posting will not mesh well in another story line.  The Tavern is a place to begin.  To try out your character and find your style of writing, and should improve over time.  After reading the previous post I can see that things are not improving.  

Are any of the new players finding it hard to find other stories in which to integrate themselves?

There might be a reason why your character is being rejected from stories and that reason is probably bad posting and RPing.  

The quality of posts will have to improve.  Because when you enter a new story that moderator wants a reference post, usually.  When you haven't posted anywhere but the Tavern and your posts are poorly constructed, contain many grammatical errors, are too far fetched, etc., it does not reflect well upon the player.  It basically says that you are incapable of performing the task of RPing and no one wants a crappy character in their story.

This site is full of information.  Use the resources given to you, you just might learn something.  Read your posts after you post and edit accordingly.  Take into account the time, day, weather, surroundings, people, conversations, etc., as you post.  

Please take this as constructive advice and watch how you post please.  Good posts lead to interesting stories and make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.

I hope my posts have not been too bad. I havn't really been putting alot of effort into grammar and spelling, nor attention to detail. I guess I've let things slide and for that I apologize, I will treat these grounds as more sacred in my next attempt at literacy.

@ Drasil:

I was confused by the wording of your post, and had been having a very bad day. It seemed that you were saying that certain things about me were outstandingly lacking. I read it over a few times and couldn't understand why you would say that, not understanding what it was that I could have done to offend you. Reading now I think you mean to say that your story is lacking something and that you would like me to participate?

Either way, I would love to hear as to what is lacking, hopefully I can help out in some way.

Lady Cherri I fell inclined to ask this, how are the quality of my post, apart from the glaring grammatical problems I have, are they to short to far fetched, uninterestin. I would like to know so I can hone in on my short falls and correct them. Thanks Navar

srry ive been gone... internet died. dont expect me back for a while. Ill be back once i can though. Just consider me sleeping lazily in my bed or something....

Well Navar, I would like to just say. "Let's not look back, we can all work on straightening things out together as we go. So from here on it is a fresh slate for everyone." Sound like a good place to start hun? This focuses us on that which can be changed ... the future.

Well Twen while I whole heartidly (sp) agree with you I would still like to know my pitfalls so I can focus on them and fix them. If i don't know where Im messing up at how can I begin to fix it? Hope thats not to brash of me to ask.

Sorry to the people in the stable with Callie. I was gone this weekend and didn't get a chance to post before I left. Tee-hee. This will be fun...well....fun for me, not for Callie.

Yeah! I am back.  Well I know no one cares about my weekend but I feel a need to tell you all about it.  The conference was amazingly fun and I got to know a bunch of new people(including an insanely attractive girl who gave me her number and room key  )  We also, besides all the partying, managed to actually do work and wrote a UN resolution(with the help of a few collaborating country delegates who we met there) that was the only to get passed at the end of the day, nominating us for an award.

Anyways, its now Thanksgiving break and I shall be around and will get to posting soon.

@Rhvar: when I was saying lacking of posting I was most definatley not reffering to you.  It was simply a preamble to Cherri's little speech as we were talking about certain things for our story(mainly minimum posting levels and such, which, might I add, you most definatley pass)

@Cherri: Will get to posting.  I do not really think that we will have to move Cherri in anyway as I feel it would make sense to just leave her on the bed, or have her get into the bathtub.  I could have Drasil exit the room while she is bathing so there would be no need for any to RP her besides you.

Drasil Razorfang CD

@Cherri and Twen, ok, clean slate got it

@anyone yeah Navar's still in the floor sleeping and I would atleast like him in a bed....just sayin....puuuuleeeeeezzzz

Oh and Ill be here all vacation but Im working on a big..... history project so my posting may lag, butt I will be lurking around the site and I will only post to respond to others. Allright you all have nice vacations (Coor knows I don't get one )

I'm at USA, I have llimited time to use pc, so dun get annoyed if I dun answer, BTW, I''m learning the diference in the keyboard so dun get anoyed with my already bad spelling.

What's my magic? My treasure. What's my God? My freedom. My law? the strength and the wind. My mother country the sky So Orril Miés'éfer, Sky master.

Ok first order of organizing things in everyones posts.
1) These mean speech "......"
2) Any other colored parts of your post will mean thoughts. Thoughts are not spoken and hence DO NOT have "..."
3) Your dog, cat, pig or what not, will have "...." around their squeels, oinks or any other audible sound. This does not mean that any mention of a noise from your animal should be made with "....". Examples: The wolf howled loudly at the moon (Does not require "...."). "Oink, Oink" the noise easily heard from quite a distance. (These require "...." as they are specific timed responses of said animal.)

I know we are starting with a clean slate but it is hard to read back and actually construct a post with how things are written presently.

P.S: For those that see these issues within your present posts, please step back and adjust accordingly. Much easier to do now since this particular thread is fairly new.

Trust me I can post around not understanding half a post and will do so. If speech does not include "...." it will be considered unspoken. If thoughts have "....." then they will be considered spoken aloud to everyone within hearing distance. I'll be posting tomorrow and issues with posts not resolved will be handled with the above taken into account.

Edited by: Twen  Araerwen  at: 11/21/06 4:55

Ok but I have a question, are we aloud to colour our speech as long as it has "...." because I find it difficult sometimes to decern speaking in a block of writing if it is not coloured.

I have a question as well, Twen. For my thoughts I always do this:

"Well, this isn't going to be good..." Kareesh thought to herself as she gave an audible sigh.

Then, for speaking aloud, I do this:

"Shut the heck up!!!" Kareesh yelled at the men loudly.

I always thought that it was up to the person writing 'cause we each have different styles of doing it. Yes, I understand where you're coming from, but....to me, it doesn't make much sense. I can understand making us use the "..." for speech, but, in writing, we're taught to use "..." as well or to do do this.

I don't mean to sound argumentative, but that's just the way I s

Edited by: Kareesh Valendar at: 11/21/06 9:34

Kar, I am just trying to create some sense of uniformity. As many people have no discernable difference between thoughts and speech in their posts, except possibly color. Most story-mods have a very distinct way in which they like to see this formatted, though some are also very lax in these areas. I myself like to see it as I have mentioned above.

Though I have the utmost respect for peoples individual writing styles and do not wish to infringe upon their creativity. I would like to see a base format here , at least until some of the posting issues are worked out. There are some posts that I can not or will not try to understand as they lack all of these components.

Yes speech is to be one color and thoughts are to be another color or italics. Though a combination of both color and italics may be used for thoughts.

Edited by: Twen  Araerwen  at: 11/21/06 6:22

I would request to continue using color as I have been for the past year. I use various colors to denote various languages, as R'vahr speaks various tounges fluently and often switches at a moments notice, I find my writing flows much more when I am not constantly reminding my readers which language R'vahr is speaking.

If it cannot be, then thats ok also, I guess I can think of a few new ways to keep R'vahr R'vahr.

@ All:  As I was reading through everyone's posts, something dawned on me.  How the hell did you all manage to get into a locked room.  While Rhvar climbed through a window and Navar could possibly have a key(though he never mentions its use) there is no way for the rest of you to just amble into the room.  While IMHO, it is to deep to change now, I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention so they wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Drasil Razorfang CD

I'm not in a locked room....I'm passed out, apparently in Orril's arms. Man, Callie's going to flip when she wakes up.

And while I'm posting here, I'm going to be scarce for a few days b/c of Thanksgiving break. So....yeah....Callie will just be unconcious for awhile.

Drasil, could you maybe define "all"? Because Phyth kinda didn't get within ten feet of that room, and you kinda had me confused there...

Wait Drasil....when was the door locked, after you and Lady Cherri fell asleep together (back in firstflame) Navar got up and left, thereby unlocking the door and leaving it wide open ( well I guess the key works, but I didn't realize that it WAS locked)

...I locked the door when Cherri began sleep casting.  In fact, I bolted it.  I took that into account however, when I posted, I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty to explain how you got into the room.

I havn't been following whats happening, I figured I would catch myself up when Drassil posted... but damn, you guys are handy with locks!

Reading carefully through everyone's posts is a very good thing.

People make mistakes, just make sure you don't make that one again. (by you I mean everyone in the room other than me dras and cher)

-R'vahr, The Hunter in Darkness

Rvahr, if you are going to use different colors for various languages you are speaking, I would like to see a key for these variable languages in each of your posts. That way the players you are interacting with will have it readily available, so they can reference what they understand and what they do not.

Do thoughts have to be colored? Or can they just be in italics?

"No matter where you go, there you are..."
Buckaroo Banzai

Phyth Glenfield

Either or, or both. I myself simply use italics for thoughts, though I have had some people complain that it is hard to discern this from the rest of the text. ~Grumbles about old people~  

Kar: If you are using the words ...Kar thought... as connotation to the aforewritten words then I have no problems with it. Though there are many that do not like to consistently use these remarks to note thoughts.

Then it should be fairly easy to C&P it into each of your posts.  

Not to sound like a newb but what is C&P....and while Im at it what does IMHO mean, I have some guesses but Im not sure if they are right.....Wow I suck  

C&P = Copy and Paste
IMHO = In my humble opinion

OK everyone, for those that have not heard. The RP boards will be moving today and this move may take a couple days. Once we reach the new boards some things may be unfamiliar or take a bit to get accustomed to. Please bare with Cherri and I until we get things up and running smoothly. I would like to ask that each of you post in the OOC for a role call once the migration is finished. See you all on the other side! P.S.: All posts made up until the announcement today will be migrated with the site. So if you wish please post before this time.

Score, We are back on line!!!!

Would it be possible to de-sticky this?  The stickies in SMF are different and annoying to search through because of their bolded font. 

Okay, I have not received my temp password yet so I am not back to the boards yet in full compacity.  I am, however, going through and catching up on things.  Anything besides the board move I need to know right off?

Nothing that I can think of.  BTW, Twen and Cherri, if you need a quick briefing on all the various mod buttons and functions I'd be happy to give it.  The dev board has allowed me to get accostomed to the new commands.

Hello everyone! Since we are here now i would like for those that ARE here and those that are still working on getting their new passwords to please post here.

Callie is here...but she's kinda out of it so I can't post

Cherri (or Lady Cherri as my account says) is here as well.  Should I wait until I get my password to post anything in character?  I know there are so many of us to issue temp passwords to and so few people to do it.  I am patient tho.

I am here as well , dispite of the new face :evil:

As am I

Phyth is around, and his link is working...Jarrl should be running around soon.

And in regards to posting, I'd rather wait a few more days until everyone gets their passwords, looks the new site over, and everything gets done on the site (etc. etc).

But I will start if everyone else does. I just don't want two people advancing forward while everyone else isn't ready.

This is mean... not enought people to give passwords. Mods if you need help with that please ask and tell us what can we do to make this faster.

Kali's around and ready to post when it's my time.

Well, I think there are enough people, it's just that one has to ask first to recieve it. Also, only admins can do that.

Okay I am now back, but my finger was smashed very badly in a door so I am having a bit of a time typing.  Also, I need to fix my link to my CD.  Anyways I will be posting hopefully this evening.

Okay, I have a question about the way the rooms are set up.  We know there is a bed, small table, and perhaps a chest (like a chest of drawers or dresser) in each room.  There would also have to be a few candles for light which I am guessing would be on the table and perhaps on the chest if it had a flat top.  My question is does every room contain a fire place?  My thinking is no.  But perhaps they could.  Would be nice and would also be a way of having a source of light in the room at night.  Just a question to those who know more about Tavern Rooms in this era.

Well, I think the candles are your source of light...

I kinda got that one.  ;)

Prolly some of the larger ones do. The smaller, cheaper ones wouldn't. For heat, they could request warm bricks or the things that they used in the colonial times (if you've seen Pirates of the Carribbean it's what Elizabeth's maid puts in her bed)

=_= I think that the light source are candles and also some of them would be in the wall kinda torches.

P.D: Cherri, Drasil, I think, and I'm quiet sure I'm not the only one that you two are overpassing your loving expresion... just remember there are some minors and though I defend the right of them to know where babies come from I doubt this is the best place to tell them where...

I know this will sound a bit childish, but really I ask to control the way you express things, as I said before, some people isn't ready to know true things of life.

If what I posted is not PG13 then I will change it.  Believe me I don't plan on getting in depth of the intimacies of things.  Anyways, what do you mean overpass you?

Yeah, if its over PG 13 theyll let you know....yeah

EDIT:  :shocked: oh its you Cherri....I didn't even recognize you (your avatar threw mew off, Im very site oriantated) yeah after what I called you I don't think you will push the envolope)

I have written a rape scene on Santharia before and it's hard to write these type of things in a PG-13 manor, but I believe Cherri did a good job. My suggestion for Drasil to say his reaction (in a PG-13 manor) and then end it in a hint of the stuff going on.

And, while I'm in a rambling mood, might I say that, if the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) were to rate Santharia like they did the movies, then it would get an "R" for "Suggestive Themes, Blood, Fantasy Violence, and Gore". *nods*

ok, just my advice.

@ Kareesh: lol yea, they would rate us as they rated The Pasion of Jesus Christ or the crime of father Amaro.

Thanks you Twen, you could simply ask me to check but you took the time to do it yourself, I'm so grateful you helped me. *hugs Twen*

Hi guys,

I'm so glad to see that the forum's back up and running.  I've half written a post but I'm off to see a movie and I'll finish it upon my return.

Happy Telling,

Rae

Quick Apology: "Sorry for the lag in my posts here everyone. I had some issues with the new boards and have been trying to iron them out as I go."~Sighs softly~ "Glad to see you all have made the migration and I shall catch up on my postings here tomorrow."

P.S.: Yes Drasil yer post is fine ^.^

Don't worry Twen, we're just glad you can get on the new boards.

R'vahr/Ne'iav'rine is in.

I would say that there would be only a hearth in the main tavern room.
routing the chimmnies would be complex otherwise, and its not like its a large building.

For heat you have blankets, me thinks.

Well I m saddened, Navar will be out for awhile (I know he will be missed  :rolleyes:) bt yeah I don't plan on posting here until after night fall but I will still be hanging around the OOC

That's mean Navar... I was counting on you to scare Calli.

I think Callie is traumatized enough. 

Note to all players, please make sure that you use the spell checker before posting.

With regards to Lady Cherri and Drasil.
As far as I'm concerned there is absolutely nothing in the Ten Commandments of Roleplaying which says that "Thou shalt not post intimate words, or words pertaining to passionate love...."
So I therefore conclude that they have the freedom and all the rights to post what they want to post, as long as they abide by the rules. Oril, please do not get in the way of their creativity.  :)

Thank you very much, and have a nice day.

yeah, I know that, but you must remember that this must stay PG13, if it goes up then we have problems with admins cause there are childs playing here too.

Children, Orril.  The plural form of child is children.  And yes I keep that part in the fore front of my mind as I post not only here, but everywhere on the Satharian Board...if you will recall I pointed the very same thing out regarding language.  And Thorgas said as long as we didn't break any rules and I believe that includes the one about everything must be kept PG13.  So there is no argument you should feel needs to be defended.

There is no more to say on the subject.  Your concern was duly noted and our posts pertaining to the matter seem to be within reason.  If an admin sees it otherwise then we will change it.  Matter closed.

Ok, ty Cherri.

@ Callie: Wow you are making it really difficult, how will I be able to approach you? how will I earn you thrust if you don't even hear me? I like this, is challenging.

Hmph. Who am I to argue with a mod?
As you desire, Lady Cherri.
~Bows and breaks his back~
Edit: We have a spellchecker here for a reason, people. Please use it. It won't bite.   :nod:

So bored *sits in a chair and waves at the other plyers having fun while his character is passed out on the front lawn of the tavern :P*

*runs around screaming* It bit me!!!!! It bit me!!!!! It....wait...no....that was just my friend.  Nevermind.

@Orril: Yeah, it is going to be difficult. Have you read Callie's CD? That may give you some hints as to why she is the way she is.

its trust orril... not thrust

thought your language did add a certain humor to the post.

*goes and check traducer online* OMG!!! I didn't meant that!!!  :shocked:

@ Kareesh: Yeah, I read it, I liked it and made me feel sorrow.

and the thrust thing

its

trust

It means something very different... :azn:

Hahaha... thrust.
It has a different meaning. Made me laugh while reading the post, elf.  :)

Sorry Callie seemed like she dropped off the face of the earth. I've been busy with finals and with my new bo. *giggles and blushes*

Hopefully I'll make a post for her tomorrow. Again, I'm sorry.

You can take you time, let Twen bring the food then you post please.

Umm...Orril, she doesn't have to. 

In fact, it's more interesting to see you guys fail with Callie.

It's kinda funny watching a room full of men converging on poor hapless Callie.  There are so many "good guys" wanting to help the downtrodden, but I think this is one of those situations where they unwittingly make it worse.  Best intentions and all that. :D

I'm in the same boat as Kar, I'm done two finals and I have another tomorrow, but then I get a week-long break.  I'll post sometime tomorrow after I'm done writing biochem gobbledygook for three hours.  If I accidentally write some illegible sentences, that's my excuse!  Oh, I was wondering if I should wait for Mavalon or Phyth to post or if I should just carry on.  I usually wait for those with whom I'm interacting to reply but I'm itchin' to post.

Happy Hunting,

Rae

Hello out there!  I am still around, just a bit busy with the holiday and such.  I don't have finals, but I do have a job that has to clear at least $50,000.00 by the 15TH of this month so I am working alot of overtime.  Whooo Hooo!!!! Great looking check!!!  Anyways, I am around if I am needed.  I will be moving the time up soon unless there are objections. 

I will be gone for vacation holiday from December 21, 2006, until December 28TH, 2006.  I will move the time up before I leave unless, as stated above, there are objections.

SOOOOOO BOOOOOORED  ;)

Cherri: Feel free to write me when you are leaving. I will make sure my attentions do not diverge from this story during that time.

Navar: Going to your CD and incorporating my suggestions might breakup your boredom a bit.  :P

P.S:  Working on my post now, will be up sometime soon.

lol, better bring the food and ask what happened to the girl lol... Why I think I will get whatever Twen gives me as food in my face...

orril, you confuse me sometimes. This is one of those times.

As to the convergence of testosterone:

R'vahr sees lone girl come down and watches her fall to the ground, sobbing and praying. "Prayer seems like a reasonable thing to do." He thinks, and he begins to pray five feet off to her side to his own gods in his own tounge. Not quite what I would call interaction.

Mepher is cute. He likes to keep weeping little girls warm. Snuggles should be his nickname. Snuggles... mmmhmm..  :cool:

I've completed my defence.

Finals are bitches

Hahaha Yeah R'vahr, nothing is as cute as a smouldering rat.

..... :shocked: I thought I did?....wow I must have done it wrong....sorry  :grin:

You can post because you're already a titled character, Navar. No need to wait until you're reapproved again, If that is your problem. Post to your heart's content.

No, my character is right now suffering from battle fatigue (and I think we all know why  :P) and I really don't want to play him until after sundrown, so Im playing with a some what fresh character. Thanks anyway

Hehe R'vhar, your defence stands.  I wasn't criticizing, simply remarking about the situation.  I don't question your motives, as I am still in the process of questioning mine, and I see your actions as appropriate to your character, but I have a suspicion that Callie will completely misinterpret the actions.  In any event, I'm off to write my penultimate final and I'll post in a few hours or so.

Cherri!  I'm waiting for your response.

Drasil! I am waiting on your homework to be done. ~Taps foot lightly on floor and folds arms across stomach~ :rolleyes:

R'vahr isn't a warrior, but you call him one in just the right voice and he won't complain.  :cool:

Lol, now let's see what Twen and Kareesh do... girls understand with girls... we just look them speak and answer yes to what they ask us... Why happens that? more between Teenagers??

women think similairly, men think betterly.

Its simple as that. Women are crazy, crazies understand crazies better.

by the way, he is a ferret. Ferrets are the essence of cute... and theif

Hmm... Women should bask in the superiority of men... Perhaps some of our wisdom will rub off on them.  :evil:
Just kidding. :)

Navar: Right, sorry.

Hey Rvahr,

Careful what you say about us women ^.~

So Orril, I was looking for your CD. There is no link in the contact area where there is suppose to be one. Also there isn't one in your signature to remedy this fact. If you would be so kind, could you place a link to your CD in the contact info. area?

I ment not to offend, only to note the fact that women are a bit more complex and confusing than men.

 :shocked: Why isn't the link to my CD? Will go look for it.

So Orril do you need help with the coding to place a link in your signature?

Don't worry... I will find the way today, if not I'll ask lol

Thanks you for telling me it wasn't there.

Um...I know the time is sundrown, but what time is that compared to real time?

Ok, first attempt...

BTW, Sundrown is like dusk in RL

EDIT: Second attempt... I think is done.

Two questions:

For how long should I wait until Ne'iav'rine awakens, and where exactly is Navar>?

Navar is in his room... which is exactly I don't know.

And you can awake it now.

Navar is outside sleeping on the ground. He stumbled down the steps and then outside.

Welcome to our little adventure Dreánis Almenia! If you have any questions feel free to ask them here. Other than that, aquaint yourself with what everyone is upto and enjoy.  :)

P.S.: Thank you for updating your CD links So Orril.

Ne'iav'rine will awaken tomorrow.

OoOoOoh... How will I make a link for my CD?  :grin:

[ url=(Web address for cd here. No space before url)] Thorgas [/url]

Ok thanks

I have to give you the thanks dear, if you didn't tell me I would never know lol

Thanks you a lot.

orril, your posts don't make much sense to me, and you misspelled orc

its orc

not ork and not orck

oooh! someone is playing with fire! Time to start writing again!

You are more than welcome to jump in if you like Mira. All I ask is that you make sure all your contact info. is correct, just incase someone should need to get ahold of you.
~Sincerely~ Twen

P.S.: At least he didn't call you an elf Neiavrine. :rolleyes:

Ouch... knew something wasn't right there...

it's already in the contact info thread,as i placed it there many months ago.

Just wanted to make sure that after "many months" it was still current. ;) I am picky like that ..... some of the other players can attest to this little fact.

P.S.: Thank you for the post Callie ..... I know things are a bit hectic for you at the moment. With the holidays coming and the absence of some imminent, please post in accordance with your schedules. If not, please feel free to private message me, with your characters intent if you need puppeted.

Okay guys and gals.  I apologize for my delayed unannounced absence.  Thanks Twen for staying on top of things.  I had some personal things to take care of and they have fortunately worked out...at least for the time being.  I will read and get some posting done tonight.  Thanks for our understanding and patience.

Who are all the guys around Calli? Unless I am mistaken thor and orril are off to the side talking about her... which makes R'vahr the only male close to her... and he is about five feet away and not even interacting with her.

I'm confused? :cry:

Well, I think she means any men. A character like Calllie'd probably be terrorized by any man she could see.

At least, that's what I think. I could be mistaken.

Yeah. I was also kinda trying to backtrack a bit when there were all those men around her. (Orril mostly). Also, just men being in the same room as her, especially in an inn, freaks her out.

Am I required to link my CD to my sig?

Orril, what exactly are you seeing through that window? (more specifically, where is the fire, and what is it doing?)

@Thorgas, no you're not. It's just that a lot of people do 'cause it's easier to say "The link is in my sig" then having to look it up all over again and the like.

Tiras cd is up again .

Does anyone needs to be seduced ? :evil:

Love is a superfluous thing , but really , is there something greater that it ?
<a href="http://www.santharia.com/adv/index.php?topic=815.msg27340#msg27340 target="top">Tiras The White Rose[/url]

Alright, deserts+ seafarring folk= BAD ROAD!

Too much lack of humidity and overall wetness!

Also yay! I have a title

Cherri or Twen, my character still says he's a new santharian (I'm approved), but is it all right if I post anyway? Thanks.

Mira, the she-orc started fires outside through her window. Those are the flames that Orril is speaking of I believe.

Jarrl you wouldn't have a title if you were not approved. ;) So have at it.

Thanks.

lol. Tiras trying to seduce Callie. What an interesting situation that would be. Poor little Callie.

you could always try and hit on Ne'iav'rine?

hmmm one would think that Ne'iav'rine would get more of a reaction, or at least a different reaction than she has.

Orril, don't post again until I do please, I wan't to allow everybody to post, but Ne'iav'rine has plans for you.

*glup* is that good?  :buck:

LOL, thorgas interacting with Calli, this is really worth to see, if she ran out of an elf (said to be the beautiest race) I Need to see her reaction with Thorgas.

Few questions...

for one, how do you know that she is an orc? Unless you are from Nybelmar you wouldn't be able to make heads of tails of her. If you are from Nybelmar, then you should probably seriously react to a Chyrakisth

Secondly, how can you just give her a glance and move on?

She has wickedly sharp fangs, and feirce bloodred eyes, her skin is pale sickly blue and her voice carries the resonance of violence. She is astoundingly tall and beautiful, and she is clothed in putridly evil armor, adorned with references to the demon lords, and wicked spikes. Everything about her appearance is forged of bloodlust, she eats her fallen foes! There something intimately vile about her. Something tells me that one might at least give her more than a glance before moving on to something so mundane as a crying little girl, especially if she is asking you a question, with an undertone threat.


I suggest looking up the entry.

Neiavrine, it is possible that So Orril was intentionally keeping the conversation short and sweet. Maybe he was just trying to move away as quickly as possible, while drawing minimal attention to himself. It is his right as a player to express himself as he wishes.

Being a practitioner of magic for many centuries, he has probably seen some pretty foul "fizzles". So it is not unreasonable to assume that he is at least vaguely familiar with frightening images.

I can assure you that when Twen sees your character, after just witnessing the presence of a Coor'hem. She is not going to rest easily for sometime.

true there, but I really wasn't speaking of orril. Orril is going to be clothes lined. And I agree that a play should express themselves as they wish. I'm simply wondering when Thorgas lost his hearing and entered a strange form of psychosis where he selectively cannot see gaint living monoliths of evil. Unless thorgas has a penchant for being both deaf and blind, he probably should have noticed the angry seven feet of hungry berzerker waiting at the foot of the stairs, Especially considering that there isn't anything noisy going on inside. Its not as if her words would be drowned out by callie's crying or twen's queries nor callies pitiful replies.

Also, Miraran suggests knowlege of her species, If he does know that she is a Chyrakisth, he should probably react appropriatly. If he doesn't then he probably shouldn't be sure as to what she is. Also, rather fierce looking is an immense understatement.

Imagine if a fully equipted uruk-hia came down the stairs, one would say "hey he looks rather feirce with that scimitar and iron plate mail, I wonder if he cares for a drink?" One would say "CRAP!" and if one is a more sensible character he would answer the things question and hope it leaves him alone, if not he might actually be stupid enough to challenge it or demand that it leave. Most wont want to start anything for the sake of a calm tavern and the annoyance of constant battle, but keeping to some small pittance of character is always nice.

One should keep to the situation around them.

I'm simply stating that people tend to choose selectively what their characters react to, for simplicities sake, which sometimes shouldn't be the case. Look at one's character realistically in the situation, then choose what his course of action is, then write. Envision the area and read back in posts to try and figure out everything that is going on, Look at what he or she has already done that day and what he or she knows or doesn't know. I realize that nobody wants to push their character into an interaction that they don't want to be in, and I follow some of the same codes, but sometimes its simply ridiculous.

Its not simply the Ne'iav'rine thing either, Niccoli should have noticed the flames, perhaps wondered why there are burning pillars of wood infront of the tavern. I give Callie a break because she is busy and her character is probably to self absorbed to notice anything out of her small sphere, but that does make it hard to understand that she notices all the men in the tavern, but thats for the sake of story.

Any character that isn't socially inept should notice by now that the girl doesn't like men, and leave her alone. Dwarves tend to be the exception to this case as they are indeed socially inept in many cases.

I'm ranting because I'm bored really, so w/e and all that jazz. Its simply frusterating when some one puts alot of work into a post to try and show the other players the rage seething and violence dripping from their character, and their overall displeasentness, and the other players just kind of give a collective "eh".

Sure I've seen weird things, and being a wind mage a Chimaera would be the first thing to think about when seeing such a rare being.

Then comes all the Summonable things that one can see in Ximax, and yeah, basically I'm using the part of my character that states he rushes, I'm wanting to do something and I won't stay just sitted.

...Orril...Summoning doesn't exist in Ximaxian magic as of now cause no one wants to deal with having to explain it.

Summon Elemental.

Hey guys finals are over and I am free to roam Santharia once again.....oh and Ne'iav'rine, I hope you haven't forgoten you and NAvar's little......engagement.  :evil:

EDIT: Ne'iav'rine you do realize that the wooden alters are five feet tall and about three feet round so it will take them several days to die out.

Flames dully note Ne'iav'rine.

Orril, techinically, from what i understand, its not summoning, its creation.  Also, Navar, your post seems highly unplausible.  There is no way that those pillars are burning for days.  I would say a day tops, without the substance you spread on it. 

I never said it would burn intensly for three days but al I was trying to say is that it won't go out in a few hours

Why does Navar spell orc as ork when speaking and thinking?

does this look like ask Necro.....yeah, I sometimes mispell orc

It will take some time, Not a great span of time at all. The hight and girth of the pillars was undefined I believe. Don't worry, Ne'iav'rine is still as sharp as ever.

glup...  :buck:

Err... just a note Rvhar... Orril is as tall as her, so there's no point trying to rise him to her eyeline.

you are quite right, my dear fellow. I continually forget that I had to cut down on her height

 :grin: np

After she is done with Navar, she is going to seek revenge orril. This isn't going to be your night, not at all.

Im going to assume that none of you do taht much burning. A huge log like that wont catch, not with just a bit of rum spashed on it especially not freshly cut. secondly, a huge log like that wont burn big, it will basically roast itself black, burning hot to the touch and expelling smoke, but not spewing allot of bright flames. Once the alchohol dies down (which it should in a few moments) there wont be any more serious fire.

Glup... if you finish navar I'll be in problems... that is if you finish him without getting poisoned...

Rhvar, I desribed it back in First flame (height width, etc)

The design is basically set up like a giant bon fire, the wood is TPed and their is more than just a log, it is an alter like structure. So it is going to burn fine, and even so, Navar still a a few more tricks.

door and walked out side peering up at the sun he knew he had a few hours to set the grounds for his fight. Quickly and quietly he set up seven tall wooden alters, near the tree line, that formed into a dimaond with one alter in the center. Felling pleased with his work he retuned to the tavern.

Thats exactly what you wrote on the subject in firstflame

there is nothing about teepeeing the the sticks.

Where you got the wood alone is a mystery. but, what ever. Either way, its not going to work out that way, especally if you soaked some tped sticks in alchohol, its not going to last that long.

also, you can't run through a seven foot tall chyrakisth, she would cut you in half. Im between you and the flames, so you have to get past me, and I have long arms. You are too busy avioding a barrage of attacks executed by an immensely skilled warrior to just walk past her.

you do realize that Navar was waiting for you near the alters, you charged at him head on he jumped back wards and made may  bounds backwards towards the alters,

An the I just wanted to get across that they alters were not just logs in the ground, and he got the logs from the tree line right behindthe alters.

nothing says that you were waiting for me, you simply turned to leave and then said annother arrogant comment. My post says that I slid infront of you, since you were still facing the flames i am between you and the flames. You jumped backwards towards the tavern.

I just wanted to get acrossto you that they could be anything, because calling them alters doesn't mean much. So they are posts which are taller than they are wide.

There is no tree line, we are in a desert.

Niccoli: If you come into the kitchen through a window you will be coming in on the orc cook. Also if you had read back you would have known this. 2nd thing: One of the rules of role-playing is, though shall add detail to your posts as to make them not ..... boring. Some of your posts are only 3 sentences long, please try to add details and depth to your posts in the future. We are not writing a book but we are writing a story.  ;)

The insanity...
okay
so i will edit my postings...

No need to step back and redo things. You are new to RPing here so lets just move on and work on things in your future posts, OK Niccoli?

lol, damage to both of you Rvhar and Navar, yet Navar gets the worst part cause his fire pillars estinguish... Anyways both will suffer the pain of a explosion with my Fist of Thunder (Is sooo bad I'm not level 7... that would hurt a lot more...)

I think Thorgas is reasonable in not paying attention to an orc, Nei'varine. He had seen enough of them in the Tower of the Flame to last him a lifetime.
I'll try to keep myself out of the fight, if it can be done. Thorgas uses his magic only for the defense of others; as stated in the CD.
When will you post, Callie? Would she be scared of someone barely taller than her?  :grin:

Thorgas, its safe to assume that you have never seen a chyrakisth before in your life. The orcs you have seen are much much much much much more tame than these demons. Read the two entries and you might get an idea. You have never seen anything like Ne'iav'rine.


Also, orril, you severely overestimate your abilities with fist of thunder. You might knock navar down, but Ne'aiv'rine weighs in well in excess of twohundred and fourty pounds with her armor. You are not even centered on her, and are well in excess of twelve feet away. Stun you might get some sand in our eyes, but blowing the pillars out.

Will do

(posting as another account. Sorry for that)

Is posible to move with that weight???

Well... sand in the eyes are sand in the eyes, and estinguishing pillars is posible.

It could theoretically if it does what I think it does, knock over the pillars, made from wood from the desert treeline.

For simplicity sake I have given Navar the benefit of the doubt with his wood gathering for his fires. I am going to assume he has made them from the firewood that is there for the fireplace. Though there is indeed NO tree-line in the desert :rofl:.
Also So Orril, you targeted the area between the combatants and not the pillars themselves, although Mira was focusing on putting out the pillars himself. This might give the illusion that your Fist of Thunder pulled this off as well, but more than likely the only thing that put them out was Mira.

She is covered in dense muscle, and is nearly seven feet tall. She wieghts in at two thirty w/o armor. Im going to say that her armor weighs quite a bit and she is strong enough to move in it easily. Especially considering that the woven armor is nice and flexible.

OMG... I won't survive this night... :buck:

Ah I see. But from whatever angle you would look at it, she's still an orc, like the rest of her mishapen kin. It's true, she is untamed, but Thorgas doesn't know she is a chyrakisth, and thus assumes that Neivarine is another one of those "humans with a snout" he had seen in the Tower of the Flame.  :grin:

Everybody: It's spelled altar, not alter.  :thumbup:

Touche, mark one up for the stumpy! :innoc:

Bwahahaha. snort.
Weeheehee!

 :shocked: don't want to be here when Marvin reads that...

she doesn't have a snout my friend, she is in no way what you described. She is more like a beautiful elf, a huge, muscular, fanged, karikrimson eyed elf. You would have to be blind to think her the same as those orcs.

Thorgas, Chyrakisth migth be listed as being orcs, but they are thought to be and look like orc-elf hybrids.  They look nothing like orcs, and IMO, not much like elves either.  Whoever developed them (Koldar, I think) had wanted them to look somewhat vampire-like, IIRC, and I've always had the impression that they look somewhat like a cross between Dracula and Nosferatu (well, maybe leaning more towards Dracula). 

BTW, Volkek-Oshra certainly do not have snouts.  Take a look at this great picture (http://www.santharia.com/pictures/quellion/volkek-oshra.htm) of one painted by Quellion.  I don't know where you got the idea of orcs having snouts from; none of our orcish tribes have snouts as far as I know. 

That seems quite appropriate. The skin and beauty seems very vampiresque. there is a bestial demonic twist though, with the ears and claws and very present fangs.

Snout is just exaggeration. What it meant is "a flat nose" or something very similar to that.

hello Tim and everybody. Could somebody summarize what is happening in the Tavern? I've been gone for a long time. Stupid thesis.  :)

either way, she certainly isn't anything like anything you have ever seen. Her species is that of demons, she is not just something you see and pass by. She is a Chyrakisth and there is a reason for the last line in that post. She is terrible.

Well, There is a fight going on outside between A chyrakisth and a Coor'hem. They are battleing infront of the tavern near six tall burning structues which are set up like a diamond, with a central structure which has gone out. The tavern is in shambles, with one of the front windows broken, appearantly from somebody or something being forcefully thrown into the building. Inside itsn't much better, broken tables and chairs litter the flood and the reek of hot blood is everywhere, there are dark stains on the floor and its not hard to figure out where they came from. The signs of battle mark the walls. There is an assortment of patrons lounging around, though by far the most interesting spectical is a small girl surrounded by an pretty female elf and a male dwarf, with a scortcher rubbing up against her side and a very attractive runorian kneeling a bit over a ped to her left. Upstairs is just about as damaged as the lower floor, with a broken door and a fist sized indentations at the top of the stairwell.

And don't forget the elf who just snuck in with the colapsible boat on his back.

By now the Elfish Annoyance aka So Orril Miesefer and an untill now rather inconspicuous fire mage have turned upon the flaming structures, and left little of them unscathed. The eyes outside are most focussed on the impeding bloodshed, and you might even be able to place a bet or two on which combattant will soon be Twen's new dishwasher..

On the betting thread, A good idea is this, go up to r'vahr, and bet him good money that Navar will beat the unholy crap out of Ne'iav'rine. There is a good way to get some quick cash!

Anyways, you guys wanna hurry up and just kill the damnedable fires?

They're gone.. the last spell i used should kill them within about 20-30 seconds.. one can safely assume that in the next post they are gone. (providing the post is in the same timeframe as mine)

ah, ok. Though im correct to assume that the sudden burst of flames and heat will hurt anybody, say, inside the diamond?

or at least singe some hair, yes.. also, if the wood was pine or something equally resin-containing type, they just might explode. But i'll leave that option for the people inside the diamond itself.

what! no! I want to make thhe things explode!

just so you know, the bluck of things I left was the chest, a chair and a robe.

by bluck you mean bunch? as in things that are lying about that could be... removed without their owner noticing? *grins evilly and sneaks up to orril's room.*

The funny thing is ... how do you know which room is So Orril's? And how pray tell are you going to walk through a room of people that have never seen you without someone going. "Hey what is he doing going upstairs?" Do the ideas of realistic, common sense or feasibility of the situation sound like they register? If you are a thief, I am surprised you are alive.

Some of the people in the main hall know who is staying in the inn and who isn't. So you "a complete stranger" are suddenly going to saunter into the living quarters where people are staying, and attempt a theft? Nice knowing you.

I know, just asking a simple question twen... No need to be angry or whatnot...

I am not angry nor am I whatnot... what I am is going to state a few facts. You have arrived, snuck around the exterior of the building and climbed through a window with enough text to fill a single post adequately (all of this with complete disregard for the placement of NPCs and PCs alike). Your sole intent presently should be to try RPing and working on depth of character. Instead of leading my other players down the path we have all worked hard to get out of in recent times. If you need help in this regard, please ask and myself along with some of the older players will assist you.

I'd read the thread that said who's in the tavern. there was no mention of a chef!

We all play a bit unrealistically at first, it fades.

and its out of date, thats all

Out of date isn't really proper... let's say it comes from the age of dinos...

he, watch who you're calling a dinosaur

Ok, thank you for the summary .  :thumbup:
*Thumps Thorgas on the head* Stop clobbering any orcs you see!
He hates them. I don't know why. Everytime we play any computer game that has orcs, he would always kill them first..

Wow, I feel like an idiot, I had always thought that the tavern was near trees, and when nobody corrected my alters I thought it was ok.....Wow I feel stupid  :undecided:

It's in the desert.. safe, non-flammable sand... why do you think they allowed Twen in here :evil:

home-made bombs navar? what exactly are they? molotov cocktails?

yeah, they'er basically Molotov, but I didn't know how to spell molotov so I just said a bottle of rum with a rag in it.  :grin:

Oooh Fire!  :D
Hey Navar, how's the mango comic doing? May I see Thorgas' picture?

Navar will suffer a painfull hurt...

the bet house is open, so come here and bet who will win?

Navar, Rvhar, me... Miraran? come, just 3 sans the opening and whatever you want to bet.  :grin: *starts to make counts*

You better watch you back now Orril.. a certain fire mage is NOT happy about the ravage you have been creating with those out-of-controll wind spells...

@Rhaki: Though I know you were a titled character at one time you are not presently. You have to email the Administration for your title to be reinstated, until then you can not post in a story. ~Post removed due to this point~ I will place your post here so it can simply be put back up once you get your title.
@Mira: Dear you are a full member of our site now, without question you can do better than two sentences in a fit of rage. :P

@So Orril: Not taking bets on Twen? Put me down for 3 goldbards on the She-orc. Though she may not be the last one standing, I am betting she has the highest body count.

@All Players: I am waiting for Callie's reply, if it does not come soon I will puppet the situation so Thorgas and my character can interact with others.

Ok - thanx. Whats Arti's email, anyway?

Send your character name/ desired title and password request to RPG@SANTHARIA.COM

Orril, you just made a fatal mistake. Did you forget that Navar uses poisionus arrows and poision can also be absorbed through the skin. Just by touching the arrow you have poisioned youself (a feeling that Orril should be all too familiar with) so your character better move because he is about to pass out (aka die) and his only antidote is about to be eaten by an orc.  :grin:

Poison only absorbs through the skin if it is moist, aka sweat, water ....ect. This breaks down the poison which is coated onto a blade then allowed to dry, creating a poisonous film on the blade. This is done to keep the poison readily applied to a weapon. Also absorption of a chemical through the skin takes alot longer than if it is ingested or in an open wound. If a person were to have sweaty hands and touched a poisoned blade you are talking 5-10 minutes before the effects begin. As this absorption is slow .... you are talking even longer before it has a full effect.

I have personally had this happen to me IRL with arsenic. Held rat poison in my hand (unknowingly) only to begin playing outside as a child .... took sometime before the sweat broke it down enough to make me violently ill.

In the situation that So Orril is in, is it reasonable to assume he is perspiring a touch .... I would think, yes. Yet this depends completely on So Orril's personality and how acquainted to stressful situations he is. It should also be noted that only the tip is coated in poison and there really is no need to touch that area when grasping an arrow. This would be like grabbing a dagger by the blade instead of the hilt, not something a normal person would do IMHO

Just trying to stay within the correct timeframe twen..  there was not much to say about walking around the boring sides of the tavern, while it did cost me a fair amount of time..

Twen your right, I just assumed Orril was sweaty (Im not familiar with magic but dosen't one have to use enery to excert any form of Magic) and with all Orril as done I believe, IMHO, that he would be sweaty.

Also I believe he said he was pricking at it, which I took as  tapping his finger on the head of the arrow

I doubt a that spell would cause a mage of Orril's level to break a sweat, especially since it was only cast once and he has had plenty of rest.

 :shocked: i just realized that though I have my title, It still says "new santharian" !how do i get it back to "approved Character"?

Welcome to the Tavern Vorni and Valerian, thank you very much for puppeting the barmaid to handle your orders. With some of the players pause in their actions, due to the holidays, it is hard for me to simply move on from my interactions with their characters. Hope your stay at the Tavern is an enjoyable one.
@Drasil: Dear you have to take into account that an ax has been hurled at him and an arrow fired at him. Pretty stressful stuff, but as I said this depends on his personality and his history. If he is use to stressful combat situations, he may be less shaken than some would be.

   A jovial, tanned dwarf sitting next to the tavern's glowing fire stands up and bows until his beard nearly touches the ground.  "Greetings everyone!"  His voice booms boisterously.
   "It is my pleasure to be here, quite a nice tavern you all have!" He takes a swig from his hip-flask and his face seems to glow more red than it was before.

    OCC:  Nice to meet you all!  And Twen, my stay has been very enjoyable so far.

Navar... you stated the arrow was on fire, most poisons will destroy or evaporate in fire. Also, as Twen said I would take a long time before getting poisoned with only contact, and Drasil is middly right, While I've just cast twice and had plenty rest, I cast a spell of my own level that is prety strong yet prety exhausting (Fist of Thunder) and got an axe and arrow in flames hurled through my window (I wasn't in my room, Navar hitted my other robe...) so I think I would be sweating.

Again, most poisons are destroyed when enter to high temperatures because poisons are enzymes, and all enzymes destroy at 50°C (too lazy to turn it to farannheit) arround 320° Kelvin, and fire usually burns at 3000° Kelvin. So no, this time I won't get poisoned...



@ Twen: Welcome to the bets; this post will be edited with each bet I get so we know who bets for who:

Twen: 3 Golbards (OMG where you got these?? is that good payed the thirsty herald??) for the She-Orc

Orril: 3 Silverbards for the She-Orc

So Orril, Twen does not get paid for her work in the Herald, she is doing it as a favor. But it does help that she eats and sleeps there for free. Also if you read her CD you will see some of the aspects of her income. Twen is betting alot because she knows of the she-orc's tribe, they are vicious and brutal killers. In a fight would there be anyone else to bet on?

No, there really isn't. Especially with Orril casting all these spells before he even has to hold the Demon off. He is going to be winded by the time she tosses him out the window and into her arena.

Haha @Kain: Now you are fortelling the future. There are alot of people in the Herald presently and things may play out quite differently than any premade plans. Those are the wonders of play by post, alot can happen from now to then.

Plans tend to fail... :Glances toward Navar & his broken jaw: I tend to rely on ability and a good deal of cheating.

Lol, attacking from the last line is what mages always do... even in MMORPG's (Why devs always put us such a big attack with such a low defence and speed...) Because mages hardly know how to fight without spells, and have little stamina and physical training.

Oril there is no way you could see my head

1 I have the alter between you and me

2 I have an orc between you and me.

Also, what attracts lightning, metal.  trhe she orc is covered head to toe in steel while Navar is only covered in leather. So wouldn't the electricity be attracked to the steel rather than me.

I will substain from posting until I have a clearer Idea of what is going on.

I do beieve the spell was not directed at your head.


This theory is backed by the following statement.


As for having the she orc attract the bolt due to being armored in metal, this shouldn't be a problem if the magus is strong enough at the time.  If this is true, s/he would be able to direct the bolt to any location that s/he was focused upon during casting.  Keep in mind that the magus would not be able to re-direct the bolt though.

As for what effect this would have on you, I am not sure.  This would be up to you two to decide.

Hope this helps.  this is how I read the post.  My understanding may be incorrect of that of the authors.

To avoid confusion and to help those that do not play mages, I humbly ask that all players using magic try this format in their posts: (*Name of Spell*). I use to do this whenever I used magic, a habit I have fallen out of, sadly. This will help players that do not know magical references right off the top of their heads. They can go read the entry and thereby construct their posts with SOME understanding. Instead of the "magically" inclined assuming everyone knows what they are trying to do. This also allows me, the story-mod, to quickly reference what you are doing. Making sure it is being kept in the context of Santharia and what is possible.

Example: Since I am not a wind mage, I had to read three entries to find the spell you cast, So Orril. I play a mage so I can only imagine what a player with no idea where to look felt like. This was all done just to simply know if you had to visually see your target.

This is what I took as my head being the target

I guess we need a ruling here.  I am getting the feeling the spell was cast before orril could lock on your head.  Guess we need Orril to explain this.

Clairity in postage is certainly a problem here, as it is in most forum based rpg.

My my, I see you all have been very busy in my absence.  I have not even had a chance to read the IC thread yet, which is coming up next.  Thank you Twen for keeping things in order while I was away.  I already have quite a few things that have caught my attention, but I will read the IC and see if that takes care of any of it.

Nice to see everyone up and writing.  Y'all have a Happy New Year!!!

Neiavirine and Navar before you continue with your fight I would like a conversation with you both. NO not a b*&^ session. Just somethings I want to work out with you both, to make this entire thing work smoothly.

Cherri: If you see this, please contact me. There are somethings concerning the Herald I would like to discuss with you.

Yay Cherri's back  :grin:

and Twen Im all ears

I will try and log into yahoo for a spell when morning comes and I awaken, Twen.

Good to see you back, Cherri, I hope you don't mind me tearing your Tavern into peices.  :evil:

Not much time, short entry, sorry

Twen I left you a message in your box...

And yes I do mind you all tearin the tavern to bits!  I will deal with you all on that subject very soon...likeafter Twen and I have had a chance to discuss a few things...

Cherri, I'm waiting for a response so I can get to Rping again...not to rush you or anything =P

You could post in Voldar, Dras, since I made that post just for you.....

I am keeping it well outside, aside from the flaming arrow and the axe everything has been taken to a place where the sands will shift and the battle will be forgotten. I tore down your tavern long before you were about, cherri.

Mal: You are getting yourself in a bad situation, and forcing me to change my "To beat the crap out of" list. Mal won't be able to peirce Ne'iav'rine's armor with a weapon made of black iron, the metal is far to brittle, and will chip against her advanced steel, no matter how long the smiths worked on it. Even if it were pattern welded (The technique used in europe and later japan to make strong swords which were sharp and yet strong) A shortsword simply does not have the capability to piece her advanced armor.

@ Nav: We need to end this fight either way, do you ever get onto IRC? If not show up on Yahoo!, IM me @ Kain572@Sbcglobal.net

Ya Neiavrine , i know that , but i was bored , even you beat the crap out of me it , it is better than staying put .

Perhaps i should have used Tiras to seduce her  :D.i


I do not fear magic , it should fear me !!!     <a href="http://www.santharia.com/adv/index.php?topic=789.0" target="top">Malavon[/url]

Oh my gods... all the mess I left, sorry *slaps himself and hits his head to the desk* I went on an umplaned trip (my parents decided was a nice idea to go to a beach place so...) But I'm back, let me clarify, with locking on Navar's head I didn't meant to target him since is clear he is behind the altar or pillar, is just a expresion (I shouldn't translate it to english is my fault, sorry).

@ Twen: Sorry, I will put it in the way you ask from now.

@ Neiavrine: Yeah, just no complots towards the wind mage and I'm fine with whatever ending goes to the fight.

@ Malavon: yeah, Tiras Seduce her!!!  :grin:

So she can eat him?

Well... he must taste better than Navar covered in sand or me... specially better than me.  :grin:

Her race does indeed eat sentient beings, and enjoys their meat raw. I would imagine that she would enjoy devouring him while he was alive, and find his screams to only enhance the meal. I'm not sure who you mean by him, but this would hold true to any male. Chyrakisth are not picky.

Oh my... I dun wanna be the dinner of a she orc... well, I dun wanna be the dinner of no one so far...

It looks like a lot has happened since I last posted... SO long ago.  Happy New Year to everyone and I'm glad to be back.

It is good to have you back, for a second there I had feared that we had lost you.

Hey guys, Im sorry about the horendusly short post (and that spelling), I was just on my way out the door and wanted to get in the door of the Thirsty Herald. So, in the future, the posts shalt be epic in length.

Not lost, just misplaced for a while,   :shocked:


 :)

 :shocked: Epic in leght? OMG, just I wish is good that leght.

I accept your apology Davy

I'm death if my idea fails...

the tence would be Dead.

So tell me Nev, after you have torn the place to bits and killed everyone since anyone who tries anyform of attacking you results in no damage to you for one reason or another, who are you going to eat?

I doubt he'll be able to kill us all.   :azn:

Such sarcasm and contempt from someone who has only seen me battle once. Anyways, I wont be battling everyone, just those who engage me in battle. I don't think anyone is going to let me eat them, so I will probably just have you serve me a slab of raw steak. So tell me, when are you going to post?

 :lol:

Lol.  I'd like to see our blood thirsty orcess try to take on Twen, Gar, Thorgas or the dynamic duo of Cherri and Drasil(both of whom could probably stand against the beast alone) =P  Then we will see how high and mighty she is.

There was no contempt on my part and if you understood it as such then the error is yours.  And as far as when I will post...I will do so after I have taken are of my duties as wife and mother first and foremost.  So in other words when I get the damn time.   :lol:

And i still have an open challenge to anyone who accepts.

Here's a question that's been bugging me for a long time.
If Neivarine's kind are known to eat humanoid flesh, don't you think the Herald's occupants would have drove her out of the inn a long time ago? I mean, nobody would like to wake up inside the belly of a mutated elf. It would be easy to drive her out too. With 2 fire mages, 3 wind mages and a handful of warriors, it should be a cakewalk. :buck:
Here's the plan. We let her eat up all the warriors first. Then when she's bloated and can barely move, that's the time we throw fireballs and windballs(hehehe!) at her. You don't eat dwarves, right, James? You'll be coughing out hairballs for the whole day if you do.  :D

About the idea of Thorgas fighting with her... Hmm.. She would be the perfect guinea pig for my new spell grip of the malefic.  :evil:

I doubt many of you know of the Chyrakisth. They only live on nybelmar and so the people of santharia have never heard of them. Therefor there is no reason for the patrons to know that she enjoys consuming her foes. Also, the herald is currently housing more than a few people who don't mind killing, and a few that enjoy it. As for your question, she probably doesn't eat the hair, simply reaches in and pulls out the savory parts.

@Cherri, I am sorry that I found such feelings in your post, the internet is not a perfect vessel for emotion, and I read a certain small amout of malice in your words. I responded childishly, as seems my poor custom.

I would rather not make the Thirsty Herald an arena. People seem to think that their characters are obsessively violent. There is a single battle going on between one character whos obsessive arrogance has gotten him into a load of trouble, and annother who thrives on lust, and will use whatever excuse she can to rip someones heart out. Outsiders might see it as a battle of honor or pride. Why is it, then, that every character seems drawn to it, like a moth to flame. There is no reason for this Tavern to break into a battle ground. Not only do such actions go against the vast majority of characters, they also make for astoundingly poor rp. This is a place to hone ones skills as a role player, not a place to soothe ego. Many of you could use the time to brush up. I'm not going to point out anybody, absentmindedly points to himself and a few others but some of the posts here have been below disgrace. Ne'iav'rine is just a character, and fighting her in an imaginary world does not make you a man, breaking the hearald apart in an attempt to prove that your character is powerful does make you a child, however. Believe me, I have played this game far too many times, and feel no pride when looking back at my actions.

No one is eating me. NO ONE!

Well, just read the rant, and honestly, I dont think anyone here thinks that theyure all big and tough because they beat an imaginary elf in an imaginary fight. Im just having a bit of fun. And roleplaying isnt all emotional and dialouge. Think of your favorite fantasy novel. Arnt the fight scenes superb?

Davy, you are missing the point. The sad fact is that people are putting way too much into the battle aspect and not only leaving character, but also A. Tearing apart the Herald, B. Ruining the RP in the herald, and C. Making themselves look like fools.

Your post left much to be desired. I know one is tempted to do things like that, but you gave no room for Thorgas to post his reaction. Also the only worker who could get you beer is currently busy with a KOed little girl, a totally sexy hunter, and a shy but cute kasumarii.

Ah alright. i agree with A (a point I missed), Im fine with B (a point I dont 100% agree with), and tolerate C.
And do things like what? Id like to improve my rping skills, but Im not 100% sure what Ive done wrong.

putting the dagger to his throat was a bad idea. It leaves little to no room for Thorgas to post is reaction as well as the other two characters right next to you. While it makes your character looked semi-competant, it makes rp difficult for the other players. Also you have quite a few glaring grammar, tence, and spelling errors which make your posts difficult and unpleasent to read. This is all fine, as players improve with time, but it also needs to be pointed out that you should get those basics down before you start raging around in battle.

Also, battle is confusing. People easily lose reference to time and space within the rp. Even characters that have been in many battles can make this mistake. It only gets worse as more people get into the fight. Posts need to be sound to keep order in the battle, and at this point I believe that any battle you got into would quickly fall into a puddle of chaos. Once you get your feet under you I would invite you to try out combat posting, but wait until you are competant in the other aspects of santharia.

My rant wasn't really Davvy centric, it was Tavern centric.

To you Kain, and the other patrons, my deepest apologies. May my RP skills improve in the coming weeks, and may I always leave RP options open. May I scurry off to read the tutorial right now, and may I always type my posts in word, as too prevent future speeling/grammer mistakes.
Once again, Im sorry.

Ooh.... I just read my post again.... god-awful. I really am sorry. I feel ashamed to cal myself a writer.

No worries.  We all start off as a newb.  I myself tend to always write my post within word due to the fact that when we hosted the board on ezboard, it sometimes gobbled up the post before it had a chance to get posted.  And as you can tell from my first two posts, I generally write longer posts.

Like I said, we all start out as newbs. I was a terrible newb. Terrible.

Sorry for the long absent, alot of things have just slammed me down. But things have settled Im back. So last I knew I was getting my butt whooped by Neiavrine. Oh the fun I will Have  :grin:

Hellooo Davy! may I suggest reading other's posts first? I read in your post that you looked around to see if nobody is looking at you, then flashed a knife on Thorgas' throat.
Thorgas was talking to Phyth and Gamaliel, and it would be impossible for you to put a knife on the dwarf's throat without them noticing.  :fish:

And then you'd probably have been run through by Phyth.

Um... oh... I meant... erm.... besides them? Should I go modify that post?

@ Tiras.  Um, just in case you hadn't realised - nothing can actually physically happen between Rookie and Tiras....because of the size difference.  Thought I'd make sure we were clear now to save complications later  :)

I wouldn't worry about it, they can roll with it. You were going for an effect, just know that if you were going to try something like that, you should probably have an OOC discussion with the people beforehand, the IRC is nifty for that.

@ Rookie: Wow, lol. There is an image I shan't soon forget.

Probably equally as bad as the one I got when I read "roll with it" before realising that comment wasn't directed towards me  :P

Ker-freaking-lol. Man, that is hella funny.

Lol , Rookie , i am sorry if i gave such impression .

Just trying to remain true to Tiras character , being he a suducer and all.

If i somewhat offended you , believe that was not my intencion.

No offense taken at all - its just when you don't know somebody very well...or how old they are.......I just didn't want Rookie to have to explain to Tiras IC - as funny as it would have been for some people *cough*Kain*cough* I didn't think it would fit with the characters  :lol: 

Don't modify it, Davy, this is a place to learn RPing after all, and a small mistake like that is insignificant, as long as you learn from your mistake. Besides, we're glad that you're improving.  :grin:

Don't worry about changing your post. Phyth, Thorgas, and Gammy would just reply to your post like this, for example: "Thorgas got a heart attack from the shock, Phyth burst out laughing, and Gamaliel fell down and broke his crown and his beer came tumbling after." :D

Hey Thorgas, sorry it took so long for my reply but my manga is kinda on a halt. Right now Im learning to draw with a pen and ink well (fun there) and also I am having troubles drawin your character.

Humans are of course easy, and elves are humans with pointy ears but dwarves are shorter and stalkeyer, plus they have thick beards and powerful limbs. So yeah Im not to happy with the turn outs of your character but Im working on it, and if you have any suggestions I would appreciate them. Thanks Navar

Just a quick question 'cause I don't have a lot of time to look at all that I've missed, but does anyone know what happened to Callie?

Both Navar and Nei ignored me... That's Awesome taking in account all the things I've made to both but well, just to anounce I can't post for some time so good luck.

I think she passed out and got taken to a room. I'm not quite sure though, since Twen seems to have dissapeared.

Hi Kar,

Callie's currently unconscious in R'vhar's arms, but still in the main tavern area (I'm pretty sure).  Twen magicked her to sleep and then asked him for help moving Callie.

Neiav is a bit too busy to be listening to the idle threats of some elf.

Well... I am wondering what we should do about our missing little elfess. Perhaps we give her a few more days and then have her lead R'vahr up to her room? For the sake of the movement of the child, of course.

The tavern seems a bit empty.....

yup

Wow the Tavern hasn't been this dead since I joined

Im finally back! hopefully Ill up on the activeness too. Whether thats good or bad, Ill let you be the judge, but at least The tavern will be a tiny bit less empty... until I gain some weight.

Hey Rhaki welcome back, and nice intro. Well here's to more bloody adventures

Rhaki, the combatants are outside.

Navar, you are soon going to make Ne'iav'rine angry enough to pick her sword back up.

Hi guys, I'm still around keepin' an eye out at the Tavern and am waitin' for either R'vhar or Twen to post :)  Things are pretty busy right now with midterms comin' up, but if the opportunity arises I'll be sure to make it a priority to write a little som'n.

Kain: Right, kinda missed that. But hey, a little ignorance hasnt killed anybody.... Actually, thousands, but thats aside from my point. Ill edit it.  ;)

Hey Kain, if I wasn't pissing her off then I wouldn't be doing my job  :grin:

The heralds dead, isnt it? and I cant get into my dev board account... SO i relaly cant to anything!!

Kain, are we going to do anything about Callie or are we still waiting for Twen? I'm too lazy to look at the Herald to read through all the combat stuff to see if you've put her down yet.

I'm thinking that, after a bit, if Twen doesn't appear, I may pull Callie from the Hearld. Have her run away or something like that. Things are really busy for me right now so having Callie at the Herald would not be a good thing.

I just hope that Twen is alright. I doubt she will be back any time soon, though so how bout I put her in my room, and then leave you in my bed. You wake up in a strange bed, freak out, and steal out the window into the freedom of the night?

Sounds good to me. Yeah, I hope everything is well with her as well.

So anyone wanna catch me up because that is a crap load to read and have to say not all of it is easy to follow.

Drasil still around?

Everyone else, if there are no objections, I will pick up right where we are and not back tract and restate everything that has happened.  Last I know, Cherri and Drasil were in his room being intimate with one another.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but I will pick up from there if there are no objections.  I will post laster today to give you all some time to respond.  Also be aware that the time will be changing as well.

I'm still here.  There actually shouldn't be much to read as the tavern went dead shortly after your haitus.

Just wanted to say that I've cleared up the mess in the time thread.  When editing threads that were converted from Ezboard, remember to replace all the odd codes (which generally goes  "EZCODE something") in them with proper HTML or BBCode. 

Thank you Mina, I believe the time thread was about the only thread that hadn't been touched since the conversion.

Basiclly Cherri Nev and my self have just continued our fighting and welcome back  :grin:

Okay...will there be any objections if I move time to a new day...say dawn?  I would really like to start a new day seeing as it has been dark for ever now.

Cherri the only problem is that Neverien and myself are still fighting and I don't think it would have taken til dawn

Okay then, try to wrap up the fighting in the next few postings (say three each) and then I will change the time.  Sound fair?

If all others agree begin to start wrapping up events as it is the time has already changed to Shadowleave.

Just FYI our home comp is sick with a virus/nasty spyware stuff and I can't access the net without the whole damn thing shutting down.  I think we got a Trojan but anyways, I can post from work, but I have to be careful so I may not chance incurring the wraith of my boss...on the other hand if I can clear the office that is another matter. :evil:

I've no objection, but I guess it's not really up to me anyway. O.o

Why has nobody posted in the actualy thread foreva!!?!?

Well since no one is posting, I guess it doesn't really matter.  Monday I will be changing the time to morning.  If anyone has any objections, I suggest they get to posting and wrapping things up.  Drasil and I are still busy until morning.

Changing the time is good. I'll be around to post once you do.

Okay then, Monday the new day shall begin so all players like it or not will need to take that into consideration.

What do I do since Im apparently stuck in mid fight

i'm working on a cd now, i hope to be in the tavern soon. Still have to fine tune some things before i post it tonight in the cd area

We will be happy to have you and welcome to Santharia.

Navar:  I gave ample time for your and Nev to wrap things up but since I am back and she has apparently taken over my duties of disappearing I say take notice of the changing day, elaborate on how the battle seems to have been going forever and then follow suit.  However, your battle scene if you are to continue will require Nev's response and if there is none then I suggest that you write yourself out of battle, perhaps declaring the battle a draw since she is not posting and you can not puppet her character.

all right will do, thanks Cherri, and has your story got up and running

Whoo my trap is set, so no one better open the door  :grin:

Now let me see about this trap...explain it again please, how it is set up, because it sounded like in your post that you set a live candle under something.  If that is the case, the candle would set that something on fire and burn down the tavern so you would need to rethink your trap and edit your post accordingly.  Also, please watch your spelling and posting length.  You made no mention of wounds you have sustained or how tired you are or anything else of that nature.

Sorry cherri, I was writing ti before school and the two minutebell rand so I had to hurry. I will lengthen it out when I get home.

the trap is kinda like an earser above the door but with a Molotov and a candle, so the tavern is safe unless somone enters my room. Which they shouldn't unless they aim to harm me (note the trap) Rushed again gtg. Hope that clears things up

Okay call me dumb (you do and you are dead :evil:) but I don't know what an earser is.  And putting a candle underneath anything that is highly combustiable is NOT a good way to NOT burn down the Tavern.

ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS IN THE TAVERN!!!!!

It has been brought to my attention on several accounts that people are just plain tired of the bad RPing, poor posting rate, the plausibility of what is posted and the amount of fighting that has occurred.

Now let me remind everyone exactly what purpose the this Tavern thread is to serve.

It is a place for newbs to come and learn how to interact with other players in a play by post scenario.  Now the Tavern serves as a place for players who are bored and want to play somewhere or who are not able to enter another thread at the moment a chance to still be active.  The Tavern is also a reference place for story mods to check and see how a person plays before accepting them to the thread that player is applying for. 

Now as it stands the Tavern should be covered in gore and blood and now maggots because no one has bothered to clean the place up.  There are probably no chairs or tables that are not broken.  Some of you newbs may not recall but the tavern was previously scorched and many tables and chairs broken.  We were just cleaning up from that mess when certain characters decided to make the Tavern their personal battle arena.

Now this place is DEAD because NO ONE wants to play here!  Not even the newbs!!!  This is not tolerable!  This is not the future this site is heading towards and I will be damned if I am going to let a couple of characters who can not seem to get their *%(# straight ruin it for the rest of the talented players we have here.

If you don't like the fact that you will not tear this place to shreds because you have your own anger issues then the Tavern is better off without you.  As it is right now no one is playing here anyways.

I prefer to not lose any players, no matter who they are.  I think everyone here has great potential to write some really cool things and make their characters just phenomenal, but you will abide by the rules.

I would really like your feedback into how we can make this place thrive again.  And making it a fighting arena aint happening so I will just pop that little bubble now nor will there be a bouncer type person to control the fighting.  I am not saying that fighting is not allowed, it is.  It is part of RPing....but not every moment is a fight or leading up to a fight.  It gets very old very quickly.

I really just want people to enjoy this place again, to go out of their way to come and post here.  I think everyone would benefit from that type of atmosphere.

Well it's not actually an eraser that was just a visual I was trying to use. (since I think every noe has seen that Cliche before) Replace the eraser with a Molotov (a bottle of rum with a piece of cloth stuck in it) they make good homemade bombs. But if it were to fall the tavern would be engulfed.

NOTICE: burning down the Tavern is not my intent I am only doing it so that a blood thirsty ork does not carve me up in my sleep with no barriors to protect me.

The tavern is safe as long as the door stays shut.


And adressing the dead tavern, if I may Lady Cherri, when I first came on to Santharia the Tavern was dead much like it is now and stayed like that until Navar began to pick fights. I think after a while another player who wants to try out his/her new character will begin to stir up trouble like I did and the tavern will once again flourish.

Well that my thinkig and I appologize if any of my past action have been deamed unfit, I was only trying to stay true to my arrogant elf's character. And for that I do not appologize.

I would gladly RP, but Im waiting for a response.... theres noone for me to interact with....

Flint, the day has changed and players generally have about three to four days, in this thread it is often most times longer than this, to post.  If the person who are awaiting an answer is inactive, please continue on upon another course.

As far the molotav, I still don't get it but that is besides the point.  Why not use a chair propped under the door nob that way the passage is block and no other damage besides a busted door would happen, but I will let it stand.

And as far as when you first entered the Tavern, I was here long before you that goes without saying.  And yes the Tavern goes through dormant stages, but not before has there been such complaints and inactivity due to those complaints.  That is my point.

Ok, I see

Door opens The Molotov falls and the fire makes it explode. And as for the chair Idea, Nev the she orc could break through it. Navar may be arrogant but he does fear for his life.

Hello everyone, it's been ages since my last post here so, in lieu of the fact that it's now morning and I didn't get a chance to put myself to bed for some much needed rest, shall I simply wake up in my chosen place of rest, or would it be more appropriate for me to write how I got there, indicate the passage of time in my post, and then wake up?  I was thinking of rigging Kali's broken tent so it would adequate for the night.

I'm looking forward to getting the Tavern back up and running.  If you need anything of me just let me know.  Happy hunting,

Rae

Should I just move on, and try to start something up with someone else?

Note to players:

Since theTavern got so out of control due to my lack of being active here as I should have been, please do not worry about writing how you got where and what not.  Just start the day fresh, but do keep in mind the previous events such as the fights and such things that have happened.  If the person whom you were interacting with is dormant then please continue on with something else.

*waves*  Hello all...

Well, I'm new here :) hope to get some stories going again.

I'll update with a CD link once it's back at the archives again :)

Hi there!!  Please post your contact information, in case we need to get in touch with you about something, in the proper place and dive right in.  Have you RPed before?  If you are unsure of anything, please just ask.

Welcome to Santharia!!  Enjoy your stay.

Hi Shayan, welcome to the Herald,

Your post looks great, I just wanted to ask that you put space between your paragraphs as it makes them easier to read.  That's all :)  I look forward to RPing with you.  Kali's a bit of a sociophobe interaction with people is bound to be interesting.

Welocome to the Tavern Shayan.

All right guys Navar will be out for awhile so I thought I would announce his lack of activity for a while.

Duly noted.

Sorry Cherri.  I've been really busy this entire week and gone for the weekend.  I'll start posting again when I get back.

Not  a problem.  I know you are a very busy mini mod.

Hey guys whats up, question. How long should it be until Navar comes back? You know a believable time.

Let me see, he really hasn't slept since he has entered the herald so I would say at least ten hours.

I'm am back, ready to post, and have plenty of time to do so.

Good, things are really slow (except in RL) and look forward to interacting with someone.

Are you talking to me? Because I'm waiting for someone to post in the Herald.

Anyone...

I'm gonna wake up in a bit! I promise!

Sure ya are...:-)

Just an heads up , Tiras is back and Malavon as well , although it seems that Rookie has disapeared ....

Which Rookie?  And welcome back.

Rookie the Brownie , the one Tiras was interacting , since it has been ages since that post i believe i will move on...

Wise idea.  There are only about 5, including you, that are active right now.  As in that have posted that they are back and playing.

All players:

Please note the change of time and post accordingly.

I'm soooooo confused on whats happening!!!

Hi Jereth and welcome.  If you are new, and I believe you to be for I have not seen you post here unless it was under another name, then just make an entrance.  The time of day is posted and a description is contained in the thread.  When you make your entrance please use great detail in describing yourself and what your character sees and thinks.  This allows us as readers to get to know your character better.

As far as the plot is concerned, this is not your usual story thread.  We currently don't really have a specific plot line going.  So you just make your entrance, describing yourself, what you see, what you think and then interact with someone.  If you are going to the stables, my character is there as well as Phyth.  If you are in the Tavern itself there is an NPC barkeep, Samuel, that you can request things from and so on.  The Tavern is a place for new characters, and old alike, to get into their groove of posting.  Finding their own style and fine tuning it. 

If you have any questions at all, please just ask.

Happy posting!!

I'm very sorry not to have posted as of late. To be honest it slipped my mind as Santharia is so new to me it is not yet embedded in my memory as an rpg-I-have-to-post-in-tonight-if-possible  :) Will be on my list from now on!

Not problem.  Look forward to seeing ya round more often.  ;)  Now that it will become embedded after a few thawaks.  :fish:

Hi Jareth, welcome to Santharia,

I just wanted to mention that Kali is currently sitting outside the tavern near a collapsed tent speaking with Shayan who's standing over her offering a hand to help her up.  Your post is a little inconsistent with the current happenings and it would be a good idea to edit it so that it's more accurate.  If you'd like to speak with Kali you'll need to be outside with her and Shayan.

A quick note to the other patrons, I should be able to post on Friday.  I've got an ugly paper due at 4:30 on Friday but I plan on posting once it's handed in.  If I finish early (or get fed up) I'll be sure to post earlier. :)

Thanks, and welcome again,

Rae

Ok Kali, hope to 'see' you then! Good luck with handing in that paper :)


And welcome Jereth!  We can use some new blood around these parts :)


*tries to dodge Cherri's well-aimed embeddings, to no avail*  Thanks, hopefully things will get rolling again a bit for all of us :)  Is it possible to make post for a horse/familiar? or would that be unacceptable? I can also add a little part to my last post else.


Also, Phyth, and possibly Cherri if she wants, I'll gladly have our characters strike up a conversation about horses later in the rp since Shayan feels he should praise Iago for her noble features heheh :)

Don't worry. Phyth is going to go out of his way to find out whose horse that is.

Hi everyone,

I 'found' *cough *cough a little time to whip up a post, so I did!  Paper's comin' along quite well so I allowed myself this indulgence.  I'm happy to see the Herald getting some of the activity back.  :D
Happy hunting,

Rae

Good to see activity again!

I have a small request, if you note wrong use of grammar in my posts, or see sentences where other words would be better in terms of style or understanding, please let me know. I'm trying my best to write in English, but I'm always up for learning. You'd do me a great favor, if you'd let me know, since I'm not likely to find it out on my own  ;)
But really, I often ask in rps to inform me of mistakes but people often feel they shouldn't because of fear of insulting me. You won't, it will really help me improve. Especially if you state why it is wrong or why I'd do better to change it.

I'm especially wanting to improve since so much effort is put into well written CD's and posts in Santharia, and want to do my best to keep that up.

Thank you in advance :)



Also...I think it's rather funny quite many of us all write spoken language in orange. :rolleyes:...I specifically chose it because of Shayan's eyes, but now it seems to have become some sort of standard.

Okay guys and gals listen up please.

I have read through your posts and for our two newbs I have some things to point out so please do not become agitated over constructive critism.

First Jereth:

Please work on detail and length.  Your first post was only a few lines long, 4 and one word to be exact.  I am not saying that all posts should be or have to be a great length, but I think that your first appearence in the Tavern deserves more than a paragraph.  Does your clothes have symbols on them?  Does your clothes reflect your tribe?  If so what way?  Is your hair color common or unusual in your tribe?  What about you eye color?  These are just some of the many things.  Not everyone will read your tribe's description and know about what is common what is not.  Also, your four line were only two sentences.  The last was three lines long and a run on sentence broken up by commas.  Please watch this in the future. 

Second thing:  Kali is from another continent altogether and from reading your tribes description you would have no way of knowing her particular tribe.  You would simply see her as a human, perhaps you note differences from the other humans you may be more familiar with (as in the ones in your region).  And from picking out her differences perhaps realize that she may be from some place far away.  Most still think Nyblemar is a myth.  Please keep in mind the time period and the mind set of people then.  Being from another continent was like being from another world almost.  Unless you have traveled the entirety of Sarvonia or unless you have been educated (which should be mentioned in your CD) then you would not know to identify a forienger by the specific tribe they are from.

Third thing:  ALWAYS USE QUOTATION MARKS when speaking.  Color alone does not indicate speech.  I myself do not use color alot of times, but alway quotation marks.  If it is a thought, please use italics with no quotation marks ( what ever did I do with me broom thought Jess). 

I do not like to see one sentence postings.  And will delete them in the future or ask that you redo the entry completely.

I think you have great potential to really write some intruging stuff.  Just got to lengthen your posts a bit and had some of that great detail you see so much of all over Santharia.

****************************

Okay Shayan now your turn.

Please seperate your paragraphs by a double return (pressing enter twice).

You are doing great as far as being descriptive and recapping things after several events have happened and you have not posted.

All in all keep up the great work.

BTW who else do you play around here?


For the rest of the players:

Nice to see you all back!!  Also there is a price list and a list of the items carried in the Herald, much like a menu, already posted.  Please look over the list and order accordingly with what the Herald offers. 

Hey Cherri,

Thank you for taking the time to write some crits :)

This is my first character in Santharia though, I'm just not entirely new to roleplaying, which isn't to say I'm not still learning.

Well you do very well to be a newbie here in Santharia.  I would type more but mu daughter fell while we were outside and skinned her knee good and proper.  So I a holding ans rocking her til her boo boo stops hurting.

Hi guys,

Jerreth:  I just had one thing to add about Kali's appearance, that is that Kali doesn't look like a typical Kar'ii, also she was born and raised in northern Sarvonia.  People not familiar with the Kar'ii people would easily mistake her as Kanapan for her dark hair and eyes.

That's all, :)

I have returned!  Just to build off of what everyone is saying, Jereth, I identified the tribes of two people in my post, the first being you, and the second being Kali.  First you.  You stated in your post that you are a Meladrhim, and, as a Meladrhim myself, I could easily identify your ethnicity, despite teh fact I look more like an Injerin and grew up among humans.  My character, Drasil, as his title hints, wanderes around, and spent a good amount of time with the Meladrhim, studying combat.  The second person I identify is Kali.  Kali, though she is relatively new to the boards, has spent all her time in the Tavern and, while they have had no direct confrontation until now, Drasil would have picked up her tribe over time.  In addition, Drasil has spent a considerable amount of time travelling the world and it is quite likely that he has stumbled across many Kar'ii and could identify one, despite her died hair.

Ok another thing.  I feel like I am going to seem like an ass for constantly picking on Jereth, but I feel this issue needs to be addressed.

Jereth, I blatantly approached you three in my last post and confronted you with words.  When something like this happens, unless I am inactive (which I am not) you need to acknowledge my character's presance and not post past me.

I want to wait for Kali Rae to respond before I post, but then I'll jump right into it. 

A few things though about the posts that have gone up.

Shayan:  Well done!  I'm very impressed with your posting.  You seem to have slipped right in with Santharian standards, though I guess that is expected of a prodigy like yourself.  =P

Mala:  While you aren't a new member, and thus have plenty of RPing experience, I would like to ask that you do a spell check/read your post aloud, not for content but for grammar and spelling.  I know English isn't your first language but I am having a difficult time interpreting what you are trying to get out.

Jiro:  Very nice job.  I like the way you play your character.  The only suggestion I have is to try toning down the costant thoughts about killing people/stealing and stuff.  Surely you can't think about stuff like that all the time.  = D.  Also, it gets a bit repetative and boring when your character reacts the same way to every circumstance.

Okay.
I've only had like two posts though, and nothing much has happened yet. I'm kinda thinking Jiro is more on the sick side, just so you know. And his whole reason for coming to this tavern in the first place is to steal transportation. Don't worry man, as soon as he starts interacting I'll have to focus more on the present situation and less on what he's thinking.

Okay, I'll make him more interesting... but how does he react the same exactly... I'm not sure what part of my post you mean.

Haven't done this in a while... looking forward to this with you all.

First of all, welcome to the newcomers!  :) Very nice ambience, Tzilon and I'm very curious how Jiro will try to get his horse. Where horses are concerned he picked an interesting time to come to the Thirsty Herald, with both a Centoraurian and Aeruillin mount stalled though I predict they'll be a nightmare to try and steal.


Drasil: Prodigy?! you give me way too much credit :shocked:
I do wish I had more time for creative works. My paintings (I'm guessing you might be referring to those?) are being done with the speed of a snail on valium. *sigh*

I want to finish my work of Shayan first since I feel bad for the poor man walking around without a reasonable avatar/ portrait to do him at least somewhat justice :)  No saying in when it will be finished though, but I have started sketching for my Santh contributions.

Drasil!!!!  Thank you for keeping things in line while I was away.  Had some personal things to deal with.  Thankfully everything is okay.

To all players:

Welcome!  I am off to try to get some reading done and then if there are issues not already addressed I will try to post...but as I am at work...well   :rolleyes:

I am assuming writing in past tense is acceptable?  If so, I will switch to that, since I despise present tense.

Hi guys,

I'm here, and workin' on a post right now.  My posting might be a little erratic over the next couple of weeks but I'll be done the semester on the 16th.  I'll be sure to make time for posts where I can.

Past tense is fine, I think the tense you use is just a matter of personal preference.

Welcome to all the newcomers :)

Cherri, I have a question, is Callie out of the Herald yet? Last I knew she was with Twen and Kain, both of whom disappeared. Like I said awhile ago, I have too much going on to participate in the Herald any more, but I can write her out, if need be.

Don't worry about writing her out.  People tend to go poof alot and no one ever really writes themselves out.  This is also helpful for those who become too busy to deal with the Herald at present but in a month or so find they have the time again and want to reactivate their character. 

Cherri, just to let you know, my character placed an order.  I'm not sure if you caught it or not.

Smoke and flames rises out of the ground as a huge shadow appears out of nowhere. But upon closer inspection, the shadow came from a being... a being of ... 1.5 peds tall??

I live! Can anyone tell me what had transpired in my absence? Stupid thesis.

Alot of nothing.  Just post yourself back in. Nevermind see you already did.

Tzilon:  Got your order and delivered.

Hello and welcome Fen!  I hope you find happy postings here.  After reading your post I ask that you add some detail to them.  You are new to the Tavern and therefore no one knows you or what you look like ro what manner of creatuer you travel with.  I would like to see these things mentioned in your post so we can get to know your character and essentially you.  Also, it is nice to take into consideration the time of day and from where you are travelling.  How did you end up at the Southern most point of South Sarvonia?

Just some things to keep in mind.  Please don't become upset or dishearted.  The whole purpose of the Tavern is to help new RPers sharpen their skills so when they entered threads they do the story they are playing in justice.  So much time, thought and creative energy has gone into Santharia.  It doesn't seem right to not give it your best in return.

Oops! Okay, I'll add mre detail. When I RPed in Voldar I didn't talk about my appearance. I guess nobody noticed. *shrugs*

No problem.  Just for future reference.  :)

Ok typing up :)

probably won't get a chance to post in the weekend, just so people know but I guess I won't be the only one.

Nice to see you back Thorgas :)  Though I've never rped with you I enjoyed reading your posts when I was still untitled.

And welcome to Fenmarel (and what a lovely name you have!)

Thank you, Shayan. *bows* Looking forward to RPing with you in the future.

About the appearance: some people like to read it, some don't mind when it's not there. When it's not described in the post, people can always check it in the CD, that's what it's for (partly, at least). But Cherri's right, detail never hurts anybody, and the appearance is one way of adding that detail. Another way is describing what you feel about everything that you see ;)

I don't quite get the bit about describing what I feel about everything I see. :huh:

It's not that hard, really. People in previous posts will say what happens - taking a very cliche example, two people start fighting. Your character comes in and sees two people fighting - so what is her reaction to that? In the first instance, will she think about breaking it up, hiding, or joining in the fight? In the second, does she do any of those things? When she has done one of these things, is she proud of the way she handled it, ashamed because she thinks she should have done something else? Etc.

This is just an example, but since the herald is all about fighting half the time... ;-)

Oh right. I was thinking about it the wrong way; I thought you meant something like what she thinks when she sees a chair or something. :lol:

No, I meant everything that's happening. Although you could describe your feelings when you see a chair, it's a great way of improving your RP skills. Imagine this: Fenmarel has been walking for days and days, only stopping for very brief moments to eat a bite and drink a little water. Even at night she is walking, because she is trying to stay in front of someone who is pursuing her. She reaches the inn, where someone says 'you are safe, you can sit down as long as you like'. Imagine how greatful she would be. In such a case a chair (or a bed, or a settee, you pick) would seem the marvelloust thing in the world. I'm just giving an example, again.

[bragging]I shouldn't be bragging about myself, but one of the posts I'm rather proud of can be found in the Palace thread, page seven, starting post seven with Voltigar, who puts Tulpje (my brownie) in a cage. The post I made as Tulpje is just about only about her feelings...[/bragging]

Just a quick note...I leafed through the bestiary but it's very hard to find animals based on continent and habitat so I just wrote down 'lark and hawk' for the comparison. Apologies, I didn't want to take too long in case people were waiting.

@Simonne: Ooh, I'll go check the Tulpje post out now.

Thank you for those who have gone back and edited their postings, adding the detail I have mentioned.  They look much better and more of your talent has been shown.   :grin:

Good job!!

One note:  Please use quotation (" ") marks when speaking and not just color the dialogue.  This is a must!  Please take note of it.

Thanks, Cherri, for adding the quotation marks for me! :hug:

No problem.  I will try to post my responses for the barmaid and the barkeep, but since they are NPC's I am thinking about putting them on auto pilot, sorta speak.  I would like to see how you all work with taking small liberties of controling NPCs.  You will be doing some of that in some of the story threads you all play in and it is good to get in some practice of not only working your character, but another that someone else has set up to do, mostly, menial tasks such as serving drinks, a guard showing you to a place, a barkeeper giving you a drink and taking your payment, etc.  But you may also find that NPCs can turn into real key players of a story, like my Iris, Cadence and Clayton in the Voldar thread.

What do you all think?  There are NPCs already in place with names and job duties.  For a list please see the Who is Active in the Tavern thread.  The NPCs are listed at the bottom of the page.  Also, I will be doing a role call now so...

ALL ACTIVE PLAYERS:

Please list your name and where you are located at within the Tavern thread.  Also list your tribe and any familiars you have (must be included in your CD).  I will be updating the Activity thread Tuesday.  You have two days to answer roll call (Friday, today and Monday.  I know it is Easter Weekend for those of us who celebrate Easter and most will not be posting on the weekend).

ALSO:

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!

Name: Fenmarel Leislasa
Location: Stables

Tribe:  Azhorhrian (Ash Hadu is the sub-tribe)
Location: Currently in the common room
Familiar: Damare Sharazen Ashkani, an Aeruillin mount of ebony colour. (stalled)

Well, in any case:

Name: Thorgas Ironforge, a completely obese dwarf
Location: Common room
Tribe: Mitharim
Familiars: Buri, a completely obese pig

A most humble txh for Cheri for reviewing and correcting my posts , always open for learning and improving ...

Thank you all for the quick responses!!

Good heavens, this place is hopping!

In the space of time that it took me to start and finish my post, there were TWO other posts (luckily neither pertained to Kali:))  Anyhow, it's great to see,

Happy hunting

I think it might be more fun to let Jiro steal a horse :rolleyes:...so we could go after him. Would be nice to have Iago and Damare on a run together ;)

Any horse or someone's in particular?  If that horse belongs to someone then you would need that person's permission, through PM, to steal there horse.  Otherwise there are not many horses stabled seeing as we are in the middle of the desert.

Yeesh. you people post fast.

And I like the idea of going for a ride. Whether or not he steals a horse. And I have no problem with Jiro trying to steal Iago. Emphasis on the word trying.

Well that is to be worked out between you two.  It will probably be Tuesday before I can post.  I don't have time now and have to get ready for Easter and Easter supper.   

Great job everyone for bringing the Tavern back to jumping.

Just a few notes tho:

PLEASE remember we are in the DESERT.  There is no forest or huge trees to climb.  Please read up on the part of Sarvonia you are in to have a better understanding of your surroundings, if you haven't already.

That is all!   :grin:

If it ends up in a chase, should we make a different non-tavern thread for it? It's already crowded as it is.

@Shayan: Sounds good to me!

@Phyth: I'm planning on making a getaway though... so I could steal Iago, and then you guys chase me, and you jump aboard Iago, or something...

Sorry if I ruined your getaway, Jiro.  I posted before I saw the OCC thread.  I also took the liberty of assuming the horse was mine, if you don't mind.

Wow, you post fast.

For my location and stuff--

Name: Tifara Heike
Location: Common Room
Tribe: Aellenrhim Elf

Actually Jiro, if you tried to steal Iago, she'd do her best to kill you. And she definitely wouldn't allow you to ride her.

Edit: Jiro, whose horse did you jump on? Plus you kind of took control of the horse. Whoevers it is, they have complete control over it.

Oops... sorry.

Okay, Tzilon, is it alright if I comandeer your horse for a bit? Actually... just for the chase scene... and then whoever chases me will recover the horse.

Thorgas! Never noticed you were back. I say you ride Iago and chase down Jiro. Be kinda funny to see a dwarf riding a horse, chasing another horse.  :P

Hahaha! Imagine a completely obese dwarf trying to get on a horse! Thorgas' height would barely reach the shoulders of your Iago!  :D

I decided to go in a bit of a different direction with this one, Jiro.  Tzilon wouldn't let this horse be stolen like that.

Hey guys,

For the fast and the furious: please don't go too far ahead in the story, posting 6 times a day or so. Many people (such as myself) won't have time to respond soon nor several times a day (just read up a bit) and well...I wouldn't want to miss out on it  :D On the other hand I can just make a recap.

Also take into account that you can pm each other to clarify things first. Else things might get messy or people might feel wronged etc. It's all for the purpose of a fun rpg after all.

I'm going to help Jiro steal his horse. May I?

Fen: You can decide your own actions I think, as long as you realize it will make you an accomplice.

(also i didn't mean anyone had to wait for me or anything, just a general note since there are many people playing in the tavern who don't quite post so fast  ;) )

The Black Butterfly Rovers are already considered outlaws, so Fen figures it wouldn't do her any harm to go along with it, and she thinks it's fun. :P

Okay....um....how do we make sure Tzilon gets his horse back?

Excuse me, not to be meddling with other's affairs but, I was outside watching Phyth and the others. Should I react to that stone-hitting incident and "meddle", or should I just mind my own business?  :huh:

I guess you could if you wanted to, but that would make things very, very complicated indeed. I have a feeling I've already gone over my limits, even though I did ask Phyth's permission to knock him out.

No, you haven't gone over to your limits. You have every right to act within the boundaries of the ten commandments of role playing; you have not killed a character, you have not acted without the character's permission, you write well, etc. Very good indeed.
And I think I would just hang back until Phyth gives me a PM. He and Thorgas were friends, after all.

Thank you. As I typed my post, my heart really was beating fast, cuz I was afraid Cherri would give me a warning.

You two were friends, you say? ;)

Yep. If you read the past posts we did he and I are involved in a few scuffles, drinks, etc.  :P

Edit: It's nice to see the Herald flourishing after an arrogant, fungus faced assassin named Navar started painting the tavern red  :lol: . Very good, everybody.

Lol, me stealing a horse is getting lots of people involved...
Not that I didn't expect it to go down how it did, but I didn't think Tzilon or Fenmarel would get thrown in... I actually thought I'd end up stealing Phyth's horse.

By the way, I meant to ask, is it all right to control my friends of the Black Butterflies? I mean, they are my NPCs, in a way, but it's a lot of people.

Their your NPC's? Then by all means control them, but don't go around doing crazy stuffs like killing people, shaving dwarf's beards, chasing my pig, and the like.  :D

Don't worry, I won't. :D I just hope Cherri won't kill me...I'll post later, and give someone else the chance to post. I have to think about it.

Jiro, you just made a huge mistake.  First, for the techincal issues, you can't go to another thread beacuse all of this is happening in the Herald, thus it must stay in the Herald thread, even if we journey from it.  Also, you know you are going to have the Thorgas-Drasil-Cherri Dream Team chasing you down now right?  You and Fen aren't a match for any of us alone, but with all three, you guys are gonna get raped.

Huh? Are we the police force in the Herald?  :D

Alamak!!! *Backs away slowly* 'Raped' is a pretty strong word...

Heeheehee.. ahem, no you won't. It's already a part of the story and the Tavern's "Police Force" are going to have to respond to that post.  :evil:

Jiro, you're still taking control of the horse. Tzilon can have his horse throw you off and try to trample you, and you aren't really giving him a chance.

Unless he gave you permission, I don't know.

Well I am unconcious on the ground Thorgas. You do have permission to help. :)

@ Thorgas:  Of course we are.  Who was it that put down the rebellion of Navar and the shirt stealing Orril/Xun?

@ Fen:  Raped is figurative...I can't speak for Thorgas, but Drasil already had his fair share of action last night.  What I meant is, Cherri is a level 5 mage, Thorgas is level 4 or 5 I think and Drasil has 45 years of combat experience, is agile as a cat and is still in his prime.  You two stand no chance in combat against us.

*scratches head* Back... time to dive into the conflict again.... An elegant entrance and a trip into a fight? I think Ill go with that...

Before i get back into the roleplay, can anyone summarize really quickly whats happening at the moment, so I  dont have to read pages of posts? ty.

*Thwacks Drasil in the head with an iron staff*
4 or 5? Hah! Lady Cherri and I are both level 6 magi! You're discrediting something that took us years to master.  :azn:
police force? *snicker* I mean, yep, Drasil was on fire that night. :lol:
Phyth: I think were too late. Jiro just got away with that horse.  :(

@Phyth: Jiro and I have decided to just give the horse a thwack on the buttocks when we're with our Black Butterfly friends, to send it back to the Tavern.

@Drasil: Would we still be no match for you, Cherri and Thorgas if you had most of the Black Butterfly Rovers attacking you? *innocent look*

Hey Fen, you can choose to evade that spell's main effect and to only give you a slight headache or something. That's you're right as a playable character.  :grin:

Okay, but I'm going to say I feel really really dizzy; I deserve punishment for stealing Tzilon's horse! I do have a conscience, you know. :grin:

You're right Drasil, fighting two mages and an elf would not be a smart idea. Good thing I'm not trained in such a useless area of expertise that would be even more useless to me as I am FLEEING ON HORSEBACK!

So, yeah... I do not intend to turn around and face you, I am simply stealing a horse, an area of expertise at which you lack, may I add. Jiro's conscience will unfortunately kick in though... halfway to the rovers and he will send the horse back. And if the horse kicks me off... well, the horse will go back sooner than expected and I'll just have to come back to the tavern. Oh darn.

I just want to know before I post, are Drasil, Cherri and Thorgas powerful enough to deal with all the Black Butterfly Rovers?

Well, do they actually exist within the realm of the Thirsty Herald thread?  If so, I think the "police" should come after you... might be fun.  Anyway, wait to post, since I'm asking Phyth if I can use his horse to chase after you.

Jiro, Fen:  It appears that Phyth and I will be coming after you now.  But don't worry, Tzilon still has your best interests at heart...

Drazil: Have the "THPD" been alerted to the situation?  If so... go easy on 'em.

Thirsty Herald exists in Santharia near Strata, and since Fen is part of the Rovers, why not?

Alright... if too many people start chasing after us, this really will turn into a Rovers versus Herald encounter.

This is getting waaaaaay out of control. But it's fun!!! :)

Just a reminder, I'm not interested in a fight. In fact, I'd love to not have one at all, since there's only been what, like 50?  :P

Well, I haven't been in a fight before, being freshly titled, so I'd like to see one, even though there have been like, 50. :D

Good, then there's no need to have one. I say we make a new thread... like a desert thread, around the bar... so that way we can take this out of the tavern...
It's uncomfortable to just do it how we're doing it right now.

Eh, we thought of that before. Didn't seem to good. It's not there's anyone else posting who isn't involved in this anyway.

Plus you have to talk to Cherri about that. And she's away for the weekend.

Thorgas, please excuse my reference to you in my last post as a stupid midget. I was not thinking clearly at that time. :D

Stupid midget is fine, haha! We're RPing here, so it's best to have it as close to being real as possible.   :fish:

PHYTH!!!!! Do you always have do spoil by plans??? Fine, two can play at that game!

1. She's a Centoraurian horse. Bred for speed. And as far as I can tell, the fastest breed in Santharia. And certainly faster than Tzilon's horse, which, as far as I can tell, is a regular old horse. Not to mention Phyth is Centoraurain, which are the best horse riders.

and...

2. I let you knock me out!!

You could have declined! But the thing is, you agreed. :P

I'm not going to post until Jiro comes on. You may be great with horses, but he is great with weapons. :cool:

EDIT: Oh yeah, now we're getting somewhere! I won't wait for Jiro any longer. I'm posting!

1) Phyth is right, there is no way Ellie could outrun a Centoraurian horse.

2) It's time for a showdown.  This is fun!

THPD... that's cool   :fish:
Grunt.
No, I don't mean "That Heavy Pig's Dumb", Buri. I mean Thirsty Herald Police Department.
Oink.
Anyway, It's good that we can end this with no bloodshed.

Okay people, I've made my escape, and I won't we posting in the Thirsty Herald anymore. It's been a fun time, everybody. I think I'll head over to Nyermersys. Phyth and Tzilon, I've left.

Oh wait. Is it okay for me to just leave?

Yes it is.

I think it's time we let Jiro post now. Haven't really given him a chance. :grin:

Although Jiro, it'd be nice if we could not fight. Believe me, there have been waaaaay to many fights here at the Herald. So, like, if we could avoid a fight, that'd be nice.

ok I missed all the fun

damn

This whole chase thing went in the blink of an eye. I think we could have squeezed some more rp out of it.



Wanna bet on that?  ;) Shayan would definately take the challenge.  (in terms of friendly competition)

Don't worry, I just made the best choice possible and it completely skips fighting and it goes straight to victory, although I wish you would have waited for me... I had some very good ideas that would have changed the outcome... however I like what happened.

P.S.:  I'd like you guys to take me back to the tavern, be it for interrogation, or torture, or to make me pay for stealing Tiz's horse.

Ok, to answer the questions, Drasil Thorgas and Cherri would probably not be a match for the entirety of the Butterfly Rovers, but would probably be able to do significant damage and still escape with their lives.  Also, seeing as Thorgas was outside at the time, and Drasil and Cherri are makign their way out, it is not unlikely that they will chase down the culprits, with the help of Pyth's horse.  Also, remeber that Cherri is extremely wealthy and could probably simply buy a horse

Finally, I would ask that you guys slow down the rate of posting as you need to give everyone time to react.  While its great that you guys are so enthusiastic, half the people in the Tavern haven't been given adequate time to react, therefore its not appropriate to post past them.

*does his Gollum thing* Not listening!! Okay yeah, Azhorhrian horses. I think it'd be cool to try and see which is faster.

And speaking of fast, the whole chase was only supposed to last a couple minutes. There actually wasn't much to it, and we wanted it to be fast. We figured we'd just post it, then people can post their reaction.

Next time we'll wait.

idk.  I don't think it was a good idea to let Fen leave like that.  Besides, Drasil and Cherri were on their way outside, but you have completely posted past both of us, who would have been implemental in the chase and probably could have brought back Fen.  also, you guys completely left Thorgas behind when he was clearly trying to help

Well, Fen wanted to leave the Herald to post elsewhere. Can't just make her stay. Our intent was to get Tzilon's horse back, and maybe catch Jiro. We were in no way interested in a fight. And Cherrie said to work it out without her, because she's gone for the weekend.

As for leaving Thorgas behind, that was on purpose. No offense to him, and he's said this himself, a short obese dwarf isn't going to help with riding. At best he would have fallen off.

Well that's too bad... although those who wanted to participate could have vocalized themselves in the time that it took for that little drama to build up. I'm talking about the duration of Jiro's horse stealing plot. Besides, why would everybody happen to be peeking out of the tavern and notice that theivery was taking place? It wasn't even that loud, and nobody even started shouting. It wouldn't have disturbed people in the tavern, and therefore it wouldn't have been of Drasil's, Cherry's, or anybody elses concern. Of course, Thorgas tried to get involved, but he did not bother chasing us, so that was his decision, and it wasn't our fault, thank you very much.

With more people involved we already stated that it would have escalated, so therefore we posted with the people who were present at the time. Trust me, if you and Cherry had gotten involved, Jiro would have stepped down and it would be back to usual from there. How fun is that? Exactly.

You all got a point.
Drasil: It's for added humor, you see.  :)
Phyth: Your horse couldn't take another 250 pounds of a dwarf.
Jiro: It's a natural instinct for people to help others in times like that. So naturally, Thorgas would help, although I wouldn't go so far as to trying to be a hero.

Ok... so once y'all have carried Jiro back to tavern (since he's fainted or something), I'm gonna post!!! Since everything's been outside the tavern, I just read the action and kept out of everything.  :grin:

Ok first sorry Tifara for the lack of posting , the last couple of days has really hectic ...

It seems that the Herald has really picking up .

Man , i have been here more than a year and never seen so much movement !!

PS: And Jiro should a fight happens , you can count Malavon to fight beside you , he is dying to jump into especialy if Drasil is involved , he has gotten on his bad side  :evil:

Hopefully there won't be a fight.  Something more along the lines of a kangaroo trial would be fun.

Jeréth, I'm not sure whether it specifies, but I don't think the chase took place in the stables. Stables aren't that big. We kinda rode a long way with the horses. And how could you have seen so far as to what happened to Jiro? Even with sharp eyesight? Since he is on the ground, after all.

Feel free to prove me wrong, though. :D

Hmm... Fen's got a point there. You might want to read the first few posts before posting, Jereth. The chase happened far from the Tavern, or else they won't need to ride horses, and Jiro got beaten to a bloody pulp away from the tavern as well, so there's no way for you to carry him inside the tavern.  :azn:

Drasil, I don't think anybody intentionally ignored the fact that you were outside. I usually read pretty carefully but it also slipped my mind that you were until you mentioned it. Probably because it was a pretty generic,"llet's go outside for breakfast."
Nothing wrong in that but people tend to overlook it unless you really write in a concrete fashion about the fact that you do stuff in a certain place, else they won't have 'mapped' you there in their minds.

I really regret not having time yesterday to post and fit into the story, but well, that's the way it went.

Yeah Jareth, I'd edit the whole post, since the chase didn't take place in the stables. Plus Tzilon is carrying Jiro on his horse, so what you posted doesn't make sense compared to his post. 

As for Jiro himself, Phyth has something in mind for him...

I have something in mind too.  Actually, after Cherri gets back (I haven't discussed this with her yet) but I want to offer Jiro a spot in our story, Navar's old role.

Jiro: I promise you its a really good part.  You get to do special stuff, which I'm not gonna reveal atm, but your character definatly fits the part well.

About the present situation, I can assure you Jiro will get the firm paddling on the behind that he was promised by Drasil.  All you young'ins need to get a good spanking to get you back into line.   ;)  Can't wait to see Jiro's reaction to his public paddling.

....I didn't promise you immunity.  I said that Most likely Cherri would allow you back in, and Drasil probably wouldn't paddle you.  Never promised you that the others wouldn't get angry at you.

Haha a public spanking, I look forward to it. Make sure he doesn't have his weapons or he might spank back.  ;)

Also, I'm just wondering, since Jereth decided to heal Jiro using regular medicine, are either of the magi going to attempt to use healing spells to revive Jiro quicker?  If not, he will probably be out for a while.

...I'd love to see someone try to spank Drasil.

Jereth and Tifara need to edit their posts as soon as possible.  Unless he's talking about a completely different injured man, Jiro is still on the back of my horse.

Yeah, I agree. We must maintain the of the story as "real-life" as possible.

Fen, you should come back anyway.  Besides, the TH is the second or third most active story on the boards

Hmm... Jereth's posts are still not being edited. We must take swift measures to fix this, otherwise the story will become out of order.

Aha, but it's not the most active, is it?

Oh, fine. I'll come back, defiant and acting as if nothing happened. Phyth can yell at me, I'll remain calm. Do I post after Jeréth had edited his, or do I completely ignore his posts?

I don't know, but I won't post until this problem is solved.

Then I won't either. :D

Clearly he has not taken the time to read the OOC thread.  :(

Someone will have to PM him if he continues. :shocked:

I'll say somebody do it fast. Lady Cherri will not tolerate incorrect posts.

Since when did Cherri become a blood thirsty evil moderator?  I don't think whe will apreciate that reputation. ;)

And Fen, I think it might be best, if you don't want your head to get bitten off, that you waited until Cherri comes back so you actually have someone to prevent you from being decapitated.  Or perhaps you could have some of your Rover friends give you a disguise so we wouldn't know who you are?

Yeah! I can wear one of those mysterious cloak thingys! I'm going to say I feel guilty about leaving Jiro behind. I was going to wait for Cherri to come back. And I still will.

You've been with her aaaall niiiiight loooong, Drasil ,so you should know her character.  :evil:
Oink.
She's hot, you say?
Grunt.
And I'm not!? Why, the nerve of this pig! I refuse to be degraded by this big chunk of pork fat!  :D

*Walks nonchalantly up to Buri and rubs the pig's belly* I do love roast pork... :evil:

Well, ummm..I'd like to post, but it seems Jareth didn't read the OOC...

And Fen, by all means come back if you want. Phyth won't try to kill you or yell at you, I swear!

As for Jiro, howsabout we put him to work in the stables Tzilon? Seems like a suitable punishment. :evil:

Oh no! run Buri, run!
Oink!

Ahem, I trust that Drasil *wink* is responsible enough to kindly (emphasis) tell Jereth of his mistakes?
And about Jiro, not until I give him a big Thwack on the head!  :evil:

Good for him! Jiro, I mean.

I'm getting sleepy. I'm out, and I hope that things will get fixed tomorrow.

That chase scene was a lot of fun to read, good job to everyone involved!  I tell ya, spend two days with your head in your books and the Herald completely takes off.  I'll try and make time for a post later today, maybe when I take a break I'll spend some time and post.

I'll PM Jereth, I've been helping him with his posts, commenting and trying to get them up to snuff so I'll make the suggestion that he ignores the happenings at the stables and enters the tavern directly.

Good to see such action, and I'm glad I wasn't a part of it, I'd've been left behind for sure  :lol:

Rae

You don't necessarily need to wait for Cherri.  Tzilon is going to make sure no harm comes to Jiro, and may extend the same towards you.  Although you might have to answer to Phyth...

@ Tzilon: The reason I'm not commenting is not because Cherri isn't here (Phyth swore he wouldn't hurt me if I returned, by theway); it's because I'm not sure how to react towards Jereth's posts.

Well, yeah, obviously those will need to be remedied.

And in the meantime, we don't know which part of his post he's going to rewrite. :buck: So I'm gonna play safe, as is Thorgas.

I PMed him when I made my last post, and suggested that he cut out the interaction with Jiro, and just sit in down in the tavern.  Time will tell (and I hope it's not too much time) what his edit will be.

I just hope he doesn't lose heart and keeps on doing something with the constructive crits but  unfortunately he hasn't edited any of his older posts either when they received critique/suggestions.
At least the TH is not the learning grounds for nothing heheh.

If he needs somewhere to go he's still welcome to come sit at our table though, seeing he was invited to a meal in the first place (whether Kali will frown at him or not   ;)

I say we do a trial with Jiro! I probably won't post until I'm concious, but I say like... Drasil is the judge, and then Fen is the defending attorney, and phyth is the prosecuting attorney, and Tiz is the prosecutor... and Thorgas can be bailif, and everybody else can be jury... am i forgetting anything?

Pfft. To modern. Plus we all know your guilty anyway. Which is why Phyth wants to put you to work cleaning the stables. Seems like a suitable punishment.

Hehe Shayan,  Kali's in a better mood now that she's more comfortable and there are fewer people around, I'm sure she won't treat Jereth too harshly  ;).  I'll post tomorrow, probably around noon (ummm that's Pacific time... not too sure how that translates to the board time)

Rae

It may be democratic, but it's not modern.

Romans did trials and they were way before medieval time period.

Just saying.  :grin:
We should do one.

Sorry Jiro, I'm taking Phth's side on this one and abandoning you yet again! :grin: I take your point about the Romans, but as Phyth said, we all know you'e guilty.

Mm... I'll edit (my post) as soon as Jereth edits his!  :grin:

A day had passed and still no edits have been made. It can't be that hard to read the previous posts. Oh and Tif, you can edit your post without waiting for him to edit his.  :)
As for Jiro cleaning the stables, I'll be sure to tell Buri to crap rrrreal good, like he's never crapped before in his whole life.  :evil:

You do realize I have some broken bodyparts.
Namely my right arm, left leg, and perhaps my skull, I haven't decided yet. I am also probably infected with every infectious thing that was on the desert floor at the time. We're gonna need a real good healer or a magician to help me.

I'm a healer! I'll heal you! :D

Hahaha, that'll be part of your punishment then.

*Trying to look dignified* I came back by choice. I already have planned what I'm going to do in detail. I just wish Jeréth would make his edits!
