Adventures of Caelereth

And then we had a board! Thank you Twen!

Alrighty, so now that we have that, we're almost ready to start... Not much longer and you'll be able to apply for a position. Just not yet, cause we ain't ready yet :lol:

And now we are ready to go! Wooh!

What sort of characters is this story looking for? Mages? Woodsy types? Fighters? etc... :)

Whoever Irid chooses to hire  ;).  Pretty much anyone would be of use to her, although we will be spending more time in the countryside than in large towns.  However, we wouldn't want just woodsy people as that would be boring, she might hire a fighter or mage type for protection, or even (why not) a cook to make sure the party were well fed.  Or someone who knew something about druids, or someone who was used to travelling around the area and knew the roads well.  Someone who had a horse they could use for luggage? Find a reason why she would hire you and write a brilliant post showing it off!  I suppose if you weren't sure which character would be better, you could write an application post with each. However, only one would be accepted, otherwise it would be hard to prevent you from rping with yourself.

I think I have a few things in my favor for your story...

1. Merysa is a knight and warrior...so she can protect her allies.

2. She possesses a very strong and sturdy horse.

3. She lives by a strict code of conduct so you can be sure she will be loyal, faithful and brave in the face of death.

4. She has nothing to do at the moment...so a trip through the country would do her good.  ;)

I hope my application post wasn't too long... :huh:

Thanks for the application--its never too long!

I enjoyed the read :D

I hope the intro post was ok...I didn't puppet any NPCs this time, as I did in my application.

I wondered though what the help wanted notice said specifically? It seemed kind of vague and I didn't know how exactly to integrate it into Merysa's post.

My intro post is also the next morning than my app post. Hope that's ok I changed days. If not, I can edit.

Actually, the message was oral. In medieval/fantasy worlds, very often when people wanted news, the inn-keeper was the one to talk to - since there were *very* few people who could read and write.

So, if someone wanted to hire adventurers, he/she would let the innkeeper know, and adventurers looking for a job would likewise ask the innkeeper if he heard about someone hiring (thoug this is mostly in the fantasy genre, it didn't actually go like that in the middle ages :lol: ).

The message in this case, when someone asks it of the innkeeper, would be that
1)There's an elf hiring adventurers to help her find a person,
2)The elf is waiting for the interested adventurers about a stral north of New Santhala
3)She has golden eyes (and black hair for the more perceptive innkeepers ;))

I hope that helps. I will allow people to puppet the innkeepers (just this once! ;)) so that they can hear about the message and meet Irid in the same post. Also, about the time: no problem. The application post was more or less a 'prequel', and since it has to be morning, according to my time thread, it's logical to suppose that the night has passed since that application post :)

Would it be ok if I had Maue coming from Elsreth to New Santhala and she found Irid that way, instead of from New Santhala with news that an elf is hiring outside the city gates?

I went ahead and changed my post and puppeted the innkeeper long enough for her to inform Merysa of Irid's request for help.  ;)

Maue: no problem :)

Merysa: ok, thanks!

Contact info up and I'll get my entrance post up this evening.

Every thing is up for me! Posting my Entrance now! ^^

~Digs a filthy fingernail in between a couple jagged teeth~ "Uff, a pack of filthy stinky humans, snacks I tell you." 

Haha, Just wanted to say some nice posts everyone.  :)

Indeed! I will be answering shortly ^.^

Ok, finished just in time before I have to leave :lol:

I let everyone enter the camp in the order in which I thought they would arrive, based on time of leaving the city and such. I hope you don't mind that, even if you had posted before another person.

Blyxx, I assumed that your character would be somewhat more careful than the others before entering the camp. Irid is growling at your warg :) If I did wrong with such an assumption, just let me know and I will edit my post so that you enter the camp like the others.

The way I was looking at it was, the majority of the players are female which would actually give Blyxx a level of comfort. Though she had kept herself distant from Merysa on the road to meet Irid, that was more in regards to Blyxx's confusion at a woman dressed as the knight is. The huntress considers herself armed like a man, in regards to her cultural upbringing, so the knight is a major shock.

As you have it written it is probably pretty accurate on how Blyxx would be approaching the party. Most likely riding in slow trying to not show an aggressive stance, appearances are bad enough. Plus at the moment finding some sort of work is a matter of survival for her and would press her to be a little less leery. :)

Well yeah, I had meant it as though you were already quite close to the party, like just barely covered by the underbrush... just a little cautious :)

Maue: Unfortunately I don't think it is possible to tell that Menweh is a mage just from looking at her.  It's like me going up to someone in the street and being able to tell they were a primary school teacher just like that.  You might suspect something because, say, they're carrying the combined works of Roald Dahl, but it's impossible to just know.  I'm sure you'll find out pretty soon anyway ;).

Sorry I wasn't trying to say that Maue knew for sure just that she was suspicious. I will alter my post to make it work better.

O.K. that Maue now isn't sure what Menweh is.

Well if Maue knows for sure now! Spells a' flyin' every where!

Nice entry posts!

Oh this is gonna get exciting! ^^

Thanks for your posts everyone!

However, I would like to address one issue that I feel is pretty important in a story, namely continuity. I would very much like to ask you to *read* the previous posts, plus anything that might be relevant for your own post (this possibly includes OOC posts and CDs - Mery, Irid's hair is black, not brown ;)), and read it thoroughly. I'm not pointing fingers at one person here, since I've noticed it a few times already. To give an example: For the entrance post nobody had actually come into the camp itself except for Maue and Lyon. Most of you left it to me to decide the order, based on your entrance posts and how fast I judged you'd be able to reach the camp. I said this in OOC. In the next posts, though, the order seemed to switch a few times (mainly the order in which Lyon and Menweh entered).
Another example happened just now - Blyxx was in the bushes near the camp, but when Menweh used her magic, she fled away far enough for her to spur on her Warg to ride fast, and to reach a clearing and turn around with an arrow on her bow, before the camp reached her. Irid ran after her until she reached the same clearing. Neither of them are therefore in the camp anymore. The way I read the two following posts, however, would suggest that Irid is standing merely next to the fire inside the camp. Do you see what I'm trying to say? If you don't remember something precisely, you can always open Santharia in a second window and look it up that way. I sometimes have up to five or six windows open, just for looking things up.

Now, I am only human myself, and I know I do this as well sometimes, and misinterpretations are easy enough, so please tell me if you see me changing the continuity. But please, read posts carefully to know where everyone you mention is standing and in what order things happen. I apologise for the rant, but this is one of my pet peeves... ;)

Thank you for your attention.

Merysa, in my post I kinda puppeted you into following Irid to the clearing where Blyxx is standing, I hope you don't mind that? If you do, just tell me and I'll edit my post :)

Edited! Sorry about that, I did not take the distance Irid and Blyxx were away from the camp into account  :undecided:

I have no issue with the small puppeting, Irid. My post details that Merysa steps up next to Irid and Lyon. I was more careful to keep continuity as well. Sometimes I skim posts and miss important details... :rolleyes:

I posted! :heart:

Hello to all! Hope I got everyone's placing correct. If I didn't feel free to correct me. :D

I don't think Blyxx is actually in the clearing - that was where the fire was and rather small.  Instead she has fled back out of the trees again, into a large open space and is infact standing "30 peds from the treeline".  I think you might see her before you spot the others, who are just emerging from the trees.  Or, at least, thats the way I took it :P.

I took it that way as well, Rookie!

Also, I know I mentioned Menweh's speaking first, although that's not the order, I hope it's clear that was just foremost in his mind, before the other comments. Ahh, that's confusing.. I just hope the post is alright ;)

Good posts everyone.

I think it all worked out in the end anyway ;).

Woooo, we're all here!

"Well I was waiting on some other players to post, as there have been some recent events that they may wish to post in regards to. There's plenty enough there for me to construct another, just drop me a note in here, if I should wait or continue on. Great posts so far everyone!" :heart:

I would like to invite everybody to come to the campsite, where Lyon and Irid are already sitting. Irid will tell her story once everybody has posted.

Blyxx: it's up to you when you want to post, so long as you end up at the campsite  :lol:

Just wanted to check in on what others have planned. I know in the past I have been constructing a post and another player put up one as I was writing. Just didn't want to frustrate anyone and cause them to go back and restructure their writings. I'll have one up today then Sim! :)

I'm waiting for you my dear, because Ruka stared at you and all and I wasn't sure if you were going to react to it or not.  But no extreme rush on my part :).

Merysa, nice post! However, Irid is sitting somewhere between ten and thirty peds away from you, so I'm afraid you'll have to move first before you talk to her ;)

Posted. I hope it's ok. One of the goals I have with Merysa is that she obviously doesn't trust the orc or the warg. So expect alot of tension between them (at least until Blyxx proves herself worthy).

Also, I know Rukugua is NOT a Northern barbarian, but to Merysa, she looks like one.

Third, Merysa has no patience for the Twins and their attitude, so expect no friendliness there, either.  :)

I am only in-character, so don't take offense please.  :azn:

EDIT - Simonne, Merysa was supposed to speak to Irid before she moved away to the camp. A kind of side comment to her. Oh, and thanks for compliment!

Oh, ok, you might want to make that clear then. Like 'said to Irid as she walked past together with the blind man' or something along that line.

And yes, we were actually looking forward to that tension between you and Blyxx :D

Heh heh, no, it's great you're playing to character!  However I'm not sure how accurate "Northern Barbarian" is.  The Serphelorians come from central southern sarvonia....Sanguia.


So, um south of you. Your character might not know that, but seeing as they're not uncommon or hidden away....she might.  So I leave it up to you :).

Being from Voldar (consults map), Merysa would assume a warrior woman with tattoos and nice blades would be perhaps a Kuglimz. Hence the rationale of a barbarian...of course, I am sure Ruk will set Merysa straight once they get to know each other.

Also, edited the post when speaking to Irid.

Haha Ruka, I think Blyxx was kinda being stared at by many and quite possibly is getting some sidelong glances.

@Merýsa: Blyxx has already proved herself in the eyes of the K'han'uck'tscha! What is there for her to prove to a filthy human? :grin:

@ Merysa - Good point.  Go on, call her a Kuglimz.....;)

@Blyxx - Awww, doesn't she get credit for being extra-starey?  hehe

Well anyone that towers over her by well over 36 Centimeters, will be a person of note Ruka. :shocked:

I got bored of playing little people?

Hey you two, if you want to chat you can do it in the IRC :lol:

Darn you Lyon! Heavy footsteps of the Orc female?! Blyxx is the smallest of the party members that I have read so far, about 5'2". Never insult a woman about her weight either. :P

~Grumbles something about if he wasn't blind he would be soon~ :)

Haha, whoopsy. I just meant heavy cause they were closer than the others >< I shall change it though. Sorry!!

I was joking hun! But it is pretty funny that the general party is all fretting over how 'dangerous' the smallest party member is. :grin:

:hug:

Well, you're different and scary!

Only kidding.. don't kill me... ;)

One word....Warg

Its big and has teeth and claws and you're sitting on it.  You scary  :grin:

I agree with Rookie... >< If I wasn't playing Menweh, I think any other character of mine would have ran as fast and as far away from the orc as possible, wargs= nasty. Hmmm... maybe I should make an orc bard?

Waaaaay ahead of you there heheheheh

Ok, we seem to all be present, so an Irid post is forthcoming, hopefully tomorrow (today's a bit late to still be writing posts ;))

@ Tusken
Yes...yes you are *joking glare* Well then I just have to think of something else!
@ Simmonne Miller
Yay!

Ok, have fun replying everyone :lol:

Nice posts. sorry for my delayed reply.. it might be another day  :undecided:

I replied and possibly made a way to obtain supplies from the Armourwain (as well as an NPC) if the mods allow it. As a knight, I assume Merýsa can "borrow" certain things from the temple when going on any sanctioned quest such as weapons, packs, food items and maybe a horse or two. I'll leave that up to the mods.  ;)

Nice ^.^

I just want to say a quick 'Thank You!' to everyone who is participating and trying to add to the experience :D

Oh, yeah, that really helps Merysa, thankyou :)

I'll try to get an Irid post up ASAP. Sorry for the delay; I'm in the middle of my exams ;)

Ok! Maue, I more or less puppeted you into staying, if you want to come anyway I can always change my post, just drop me a line here! ;)

First, this is Maue.
Second, it works for me.
 :D

Hey now, this is a bit early to let the story die down, isn't it? Could I ask for a post from... well, basically everyone except Blyxx and Maue? I'd particulary like a post from Menweh and the twins, since we want to have the town visited as soon as possible so that we can return to the camp and start the journey ^.^

I'd post, but I'm kinda waiting for replies for the food question. ;)

Everyone who hasn't answered that question yet can say it in here, and you can assume they answered. I think most people will say they eat everything ;)

Blyxx isn't answering because she is actually pretty peeved about the twins not cooking. Pretty much the orc isn't going to depend on those two for food when preparing breakfast is beyond them. :rofl:

Posted! Sorry it took awhile. Seemed the story slowed for a bit there. Looking forward to some interaction at the Armourwain!  :D

Ok, I'm gonna keep bugging some people until they post! :P

@ The Twins and Menweh: Either of you may feel free to bring us actually inside the town, just a matter of speeding things up a little. I don't want to spend too much time there, we actually want to have some miles under our hooves before stopping for the night, which means that we want to be back from the town somewhere around midday ^.^

Well, I kinda brought us to a junction, and now the twins are headed to the market. If Menweh is posting, I think she could just teleport us there; I doubt the market is that far away. ;) What say you, Sim?

Ok!  Who are we waiting for a post from?  Lyon?  Menweh?  Come and shock us with you writing talent people  :D

So sorry... I'll get a post up asap!

I am so sorry! I've been dealing with a lot of life stuffs that were unforseen, so I get a post up tonight!

Oh, ok, as long as there's a good explanation for it :P

I think a certain orc offered you some of her weird drink Menweh ;)

0.o!? Oops.... Let me change something real quick!

OK, Menweh posted and I'm back from my holidays, so I'll be writing a post soon!

Could everyone please give a little shout if they're still here or not?

I'm here Irid and I shall have a post up tomorrow. The two job thing is finally slowing down.

Hi! :wave: I am still here and waiting patiently. Welcome back, Irid. I don't believe there is anyone waiting on me but if so, poke me and I can post. Looking forward to getting this moving again. ;)

I am still here! ^^; sorry about not posting forever and a day! but I want to get this underway as well!

I am here for the weekend but will then be gone for two weeks. Sorry. :cry:
Maue

That's ok Maue, have a good holiday!  We've sort of erm...left you in the woods I think, so that you can come back in pretty easily :).  Minimal puppeting. 

Okay, so, update for the group who stayed behind!

- Ruka suggested a card game, but no-one could really play.

- Food's up!  Yum yum.

- A  skinny man has just arrived to try and join the card game, and is now being growled at/asked pointed questions by Blyxx & Warg and Ruka.  Poor guy.

Well Rookie there are a couple people involved in the present happenings at the campsite. So I am just sitting on the sidelines for the moment, reading everyday though and will jump in when needed.

I'd like to see a post from the twins, menweh and merysa... if it's possible... ;)

Sure I was just waiting my turn since I'd posted right before the Orcess, but I'll set one up for ye!

Thank you! I just want a little (or long, up to you ;)) post describing what you do in town. It might be a good idea to agree with the twins on how much you can puppet each other :)

Well, I didn't exactly puppet you, Menweh, just left you somewhere. If you're not okay with it, I can change it. :)

Oh, and in your next post, feel free to meet up with the twins and puppet me back to Irid. ^^

Menweh, I'd really appreciate a post, it doesn't even have to be a large one, where you get back with the rest of the group. I'm waiting on you before posting.

I'm back. Sorry it took so long. I should have a post in soon.

That's quite alright, Maue. We understand that IRL comes in to play once in a while ;)

Alrighty, camp people: feel free to chase Jason off before the five of us arrive, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't kill him. Would be hard to explain to authorities if they found the body :P

I'll give Y'cha and Lyon a chance to interact with him first. Those two will probably be a bit more diplomatic but in the end I don't think Blyxx is going to let him wander off. Not till Irid returns anyhow.

Sorry it took so long but I'm back.

Ok, since only two people seemed to feel the need/ had the chance to post, I'm gonna see if it'll be more effective to post again myself, instead of asking everyone else to post... I'll post again in two week's time (if I can, since that's my first working day in Prague, so it might be a bit longer as well). If you haven't posted yet by then (with the exception of Ruka, because I know her laptop died), it's entirely possible that you'll be left behind, as that is the post in which we will be leaving for the north.

For now, I will change the IC time to noon, since our excursion to the city took some hours...

It looks like it may be time for me to post soon...I may be a bit as this week is busy for me. Please be patient... :undecided:

It's ok, so long as I know you'll post soon.

I understand if RL is taking over, it happens to me too sometimes. I'd just like a little warning if you feel that you won't be able to post within two weeks :)

So so sorry for the time it took me to write a post - just a series of bad luck I'm afraid with computer down and new people at work to look after. :(. Back online now though, so timely and thorough replies abound!

Ok, I don't *really* want to leave behind about half the party including one of my comods, (even counting the fact that Merysa said she'd be busy) so I'm just gonna leave it like this until I have regular internet access again. After that, I *will* expect more active participation, or you *will* be left behind. Like I said, I'm not willing to let this story die before it's even properly started.

A tally up to the present:

Irid, Blyxx, Ruka and Menweh have posted.

Merysa apologised for a busy week, she will post.

I am still waiting for a post from Maue, the Twins and Lion.

My post will be next! Sorry for the delay... :pet:

My apologies as well. A post coming up.

Hoping I got everything right.. : )

I posted! ^.^

So sorry that it's *waaay* overdue. Have a couple of tests, so my time online's rather limited. I hope my post's ok. :)

I am going to post again on the twelfth of october. Everyone who has not posted by then that they are ready to go... I'm sorry, but you will be left behind. Except for the twins, because Seh warned us that she'd be busy with exams. Oh, and Ruka, because I know that she is at university and not online a lot...

Let's get the show back on track, people!

Ok, I don't really want to leave any of you behind, so just one more chance. If you still want to continue playing in this story, fight the men and join the others. If you don't do that, I won't kill you off, but I will indispose you enough that you are unable to come with us, because I then assume that you no longer wish to play in the story. Again, the deadline is in two weeks.

If you have no wish to continue playing in this story, but you do know about the deadline, please write an exit post. Without either an exit post or a join post within two weeks, the exit post will be written for you, so that we have room to let some other people join.

I will also send out PMs with this deadline, hopefully tomorrow (no time anymore today) and an email to those people that I have or can find an email address of.

Thank you very much for understanding that I'm doing what I can to keep this story from dying.

Regards,
Irid

Ok, I heard from Seh, she will be taking absence time a bit longer because there are some debating competitions going on, so good luck to her!

That just leaves Merysa and Blyxx. Everyone else: I'd appreciate it if you posted before the deadline as well. I think two weeks should be enough to find an hour here or there to write a post. If it's not, I'd like to hear that so I can take it into account. Likewise, if you think there is not enough for you to make a post about and you have no inspiration, let me know. Any suggestions to make this more interesting for the players are welcome!

I;ll post most likely tomorrow (which translated from me means before the weekend is done!) I am sorry I didn't know if you wanted me to post before the rest of them again! >< I'll post I promise!

Hey Menweh,

Could you make sure you read all the other posts (or at least skim through them).  You missed attack of the pigeon!! ;)

Also, we do ask for slightly longer posts, although if it's just a one-off not-having-time thing, then I don't think we'll cause too much fuss.

It kinda was a dear god let the homework and essays end post! but I'll beef it up! just give me a bit more times!

Haha thought it might be!  No worries, we've all been there, just make sure you've noticed the bird flying up from the side of the path and leave it at that - essays are kind of more important unfortunately :P.

Ok well, there's my post. Next one will be in two weeks (or a little later, Rookie's coming over here in two weeks ;)) so plenty of time for posts, people! chop chop! ;-)

Merysa and Blyxx are, I am sorry to say, now officially written out of the story. I will be thinking about how best to replace them. In the mean time, have fun posting! ;)

I've posted! :D

So I hope it's alright. Hope I didn't miss anything, or overstepping anywhere. If I did, just tell, and I'll fix it. *brandishes pliers*

I am sorry! I've been really busy with school, I will be posting some time this week!

You still have a week, probably a little more. no worries :)

A post will be up soon!

Hopefully...

One more week before my next post people! *tries to poke everyone into action*

I would love too! but I need to wait to be responded too ><;

Eep sorry both of you, I'll have something up by the end of the day I hope :)

Alright! Everyone should have something to react to, so knock yourself out and sorry that my post took longer than two weeks :P

I have the sad duty of having to announce that my dear co-moderator Khel, who played with us as Leon, feels that she doesn't have the time to continue playing, so unfortunately in my next post, Leon will be written out of the story. Khel still has the opportunity to come back if she wants to in the coming two weeks, just a post will suffice, but from my talk with her it would seem that she will not do that.

Khel, if you're reading this... It's been a pleasure writing together with you. I hope that some day you will find your way back to the Santharian dream, but either way I wish you all the luck you need in all your ventures!

SO! This means that, together with the departure of Merysa and Blyxx, we now have three spots open for players, and one for a moderator. The players will be recruited from the people who are not already playing in the story (because you can believe me that there's not much fun in playing with yourself!). If you feel that you would be well-suited for the position of moderator, please PM either myself or Rookie with your application and reasons for thinking that you should get the job ;) Then Rooks and I will evaluate the candidates (if any :p) and let you know our final decision.

Thanks for your attention ^.^

I am sorry to have to depart. Life has left me little time to devote to playing. I hope it doesn't ruin the story too much...

Alright, thanks for letting us know. I hope life treats you well, wherever it takes you :)

BAH!!! Finally done with finals! I'll get a post up her by lunch tomorrow!

Yay! I was beginning to think everyone had forgotten about my little story. I hope your finals went well :)

I'll be getting up a post for the Druid too. Soon-ish, I hope. :)

Posted! :D

So I noticed! Thanks :D

Just for the record, I am putting my own posts on hold until I get back to Prague. Too much family stuff going on while I'm in Belgium. That shouldn't stop you guys from posting though ;)

Come on, where is everybody? Only Menweh and Seh posted :(

If you're not posting anymore because the story is too boring, can you PLEASE let me know how I can improve it? Pretty please? I'd rather learn than have to close the story...

My first post is up, I hope you guys like it. By the way, Seh, watch out for snakes. ;)

I went for the sneaky approach, Irid, tell me if this will integrate well into the story.

Oh, it will... it most definitely will... I  :heart: it! You made me all inspired for my own post :D

Ok, a big thank you to Morden for inspiring me to write this post! I decided not to mind the not posting over the past month, but from now on things are back to normal.

Which means that I expect everyone to post WITHIN the next two weeks. At the very least, you don't have an excuse that nothing is happening! My next post will be made on Sunday the 18th, or perhaps on Monday the 19th because I might be away on a weekend with work until sunday night.

If you have not posted within the next two weeks, I will give you your first warning. You then have two more weeks to make a post. If in a month time you still have not posted, you will be written out of the story.

In my post I assumed that Xanth and Xander will solve the snake situation. One can only have just so many things clamouring for attention before something slips through ;)

And now... chop chop, get to posting! ;)

Woot! Two nice posts to read! ;)

I'll post sometime from now to the middle of next week. I have to say though, that's a very rough estimation. School's taking up a lot of my time. :undecided:

Excellent opening post Morden! Tis a pleasure to have you aboard :)

Thanks for the compliments, Irid and Rookie. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. And I very much liked both your posts. Irid, that certainly is an excellent twist in the story, and I'm glad my post gave you an opening for it. :)

I'm planning on delaying my next post 'til the end of the week. I want to give the others a good chance to reply to the last few events, but I also want to respond to Irid before her next post.

Thanks for letting me in on this story, I think its excellent. I hope we can will everyone into activity, 'cuz I love this story, personally.

I swear on the script I am rehearsing that I am going to post tomorrow! ><! I promise!

Posted! And on time too! :D

Okay, so it's long. As in, really long. Sorry about that, but the snake was just too good to not dramatise. Anyway, I'm writing for two people. ;)

Wooh! It seems to help, something actually happening!

Alright, so now we still need a post from Menweh and one from Maue. Did I forget anyone? Anyone seen Maue around?

Hello everyone! The Moderators have been kind enough to allow me entrance back into this story. It will take me a bit to get caught up on the story, my post will be posted no sooner than tomorrow evening or at the most the following day early. RL tomorrow is going to be hectic, but hopefully only in the morning. Welcome to all the new players and 'Hi' to all you oldbies.  :)

Yaaaaaaaay!

So we're almost full again... We have one spot open!

Wow, damn! I just realised I was WAY off in my count! The 18th is only ONE week (and two days) away from the 9th, when I posted... So my next post will be on the 25th! Sorry about that, everyone  :buck:

OK, have posted. I waited till a couple days before Irid's next post, to give people more time to react to my arrival. Hope you all like it, and have a good weekend! :grin:

Yesh... well there goes Menweh's cover :rolleyes: She can't resist the story!

I did not say Morden was aware of Menweh's presence. Merely that he noticed she was missing, and had an uneasy feeling about where she went off to.

Or were you planning on blowing your cover in your next post?

Hehe, Morden my friend, your tendency for long posts is infectious :lol:

Someone else is going to have to explain our quest to you though, so you can decide to stay around for a bit (unless you're bored with the story, in which case you're still free to leave :P)

Maue... Any chance of a post the coming two weeks? I'd hate to have to write out two players in as many posts...

Everyone: perhaps after someone explains our quest to Morden and Ruka explains what happened to Irid, we can get some sleep and start out in the morning all refreshed for a day's ride! :D

I'll get a post up explaining to him! i'll do that in the morning though! to late tonight!

Some more people could post before I get to it this weekend? Only two people replied so far, Ruka and Menweh...

I don't think I can this weekend though. Debating is really taking up my time, plus my tests are next week. I might be able to get one up on the weekend, but I'm not sure if it'll be after you or not. :/

Ok, thanks for the heads up :D

@ Morden she blew it... she lost her focus! but there ya go!

Posted! *throws confettii*

I figured it would be time to start dinner. Hope that's okay. :)

Fine with me, Morden's hungry. Now I have a post up, sorry for not posting for several weeks there. :buck:

Can somebody explain the quest to Morden at some point? This bunch of women in the middle of the woods is kinda odd to him, and he's getting fed up. :P

Yes, yes. All will be explained. Since it seems that everyone needs reminding of something Irid told them that morning :P

Ok, so if everyone could please wrap up the evening, in two weeks time we'll be ready to leave in the morning, and meet the next addition to the party! ^.^

If anyone feels I took liberties in moving the time onwards in my post then please let me know and I'll change it.  I purposely gave you some details of what Ruka might have said in the conversation too - I think this way we move on a bit quicker (because me and Irid have been plotting some excitement for the next village) and we still did the chatting without role playing it, which could take a long time.  But feel free to disagree! ;). 

When everyone has settled down for the night we'll move the story to the morning, then everyone will get a post or two to get us off on our journey, and then we'll fast-forward again until we're in the village having something to eat (and possibly drink) in the tavern.  Sound good?

Hey all! Just a heads up that I plan to come back to the story. I'll pick up when the new chapter starts.  :pet:

Jaek Buckkin (http://www.santharia.com/adv/index.php?topic=5407.0) will also be joining very soon  :)

I have finally posted! I'm really sorry for the long wait, but I have several piano recitals coming up, and the time I usually spend on this site has been taken up practicing. But thankfully I found time today, and will post more regularly in the future.

There we go! New day, new chapter :D Go ahead and make yourselves comfortable in the inn! It might not last...  :evil:

Necessary changes in connection with time and weather will be posted tomorrow, time for bed now ^.^

Edit: our new joiner and re-joiner are free to post in this chapter, the one in this village, the other in the one Ruka and I are going to, or one close by so that we can follow her trail :P

OK, I have posted in Chapter 2, hope you like it. :thumbup:

Hey, I am back from my unwanted absence, but have pulled through my troubles fairly well. :)

I am disappointed to see that no one has posted after me in Ch. 2. :cry: Come on, let's keep the story rolling!

I'm posting tomorrow, hopefully it will get some reactions...

I'm going to post tomorrow morning. Sorry, I had an mishap with the internet service since my last post. But the moment I come home from church I will make a nice juicy (or as juicy as I can possibly make it) post. I promise!

true to my word! Menweh has spoken!

Nice post, Menweh! :thumbup: I'll try to get you a reply sometime midweek.

Mmmkay! I look forward to it, i mean it really doesn't take a lot to make her happy.  :D

How about sad? Don't worry, you'll get your own back later, but for now I'd like some reactions to what has happened ^.^

o.o! THEY PULLED MAH HAIR!!!! grrr... ^^ I'll post by Thursday!

I'll have a post up ASAP, but I have a couple of tests round the corner, so it won't be that soon.

Grrr...don't be upsetting a dwarf, now. :angry: Morden has made his post, and those hooligans had better be watching themselves. :evil:

Looking forward to others' posts, can't wait for everyone's reactions.

Air head... pssssh! That was a bit racy don't you think? Now you gone and made her sad!

Ok guys, here's your chance to get back at them!

Jaek, feel free to add your two sans to convince the others to help out.

Seh, could you perhaps slightly alter your last post to match mine? I'm sorry to have to do this but I needed those youths still more or less in good health ;) Xander can shoot one in the leg later, promise ;)

Everyone, I'm going to try to pick the pace up a little bit, so expect a new post some time at the end of the weekend or beginning of next week. I'd appreciate it if I could get some posts from  you guys before that time :)

Yeah, okay. So long as he can. ;)

Too lazy to change over to Jaek this mornin'/most days (uless postin' :grin:). Anyways, I won't be able to post today as I got tons of stuff to do (check-in on a job, finish cleanin' garage, make dinner, than softball tonight), but I'll have somethin' up friday.

Alrighty, sounds good everybody. @Garret, I'll wait 'til after you post Friday, and then get something with Morden up.

*lurks in the thread waiting for some one to post 'cause it's still to early for me to postish*

Hey guys, I just heard from Garret that she doesn't know when exactly she'll be able to post, so Morden, if you want to post go ahead. Just assume that Jaek nods in agreement ^.^

I'm afraid that I'll need to put of posting for now, at least until the weekend. My tests are still ongoing, and I don't really have much time on the computer any more. I'll try my best though. :)

OK, my post is up, and I eagerly await everyone's replies. ;)

And here I was trying to pick up the pace :p I'm going home to belgium for the weekend, guys, so you have a couple of days respite. Please use them to post if you have a moment ;)

Morden, great post as usual, so thank you ^.^

Hey Sim, where are we at here? When might we see a post from you again?

I'm really sorry guys, I'm around but at an all-time low creativity wise. I will try to get a post out within the next couple of days, hoping that it will get the creative juices flowing again. I'm really sorry for the delay.

Any creative juices flowing? ^^  I hope to see a post soon! We cant let it die Lady Sim-sim!!!

I know, I know  :buck:

I'll post tonight.

YAY!!!!

Ok, still pretty short but it's a start ;) Lets go find those guys and kick some ass :P

Yippee! I'll get a post up soon, thanks Irid!

Welcome to the story, Foraste!

SO we begin again!

Yus! So do you guys want to write a post about following me out or do I post puppeting you guys to where the group is?

You can puppet me out. :)

Puppeting would be fine, Sim, then we can get the action going. :grin:

Go puppeting!

Hey Sim, are we going to get going again? I would hate to see this story fall inactive.

Is the puppeting going to make things more or less difficult for you? Right now, I just want to get back rolling again, so whatever makes your job easier is cool with me. :)

Sorry about the wait guys, things keep popping up that fill my evenings, so that's the reason I haven't been able to post yet. I should be free to post something tomorrow, unless I get around to it during my lunchbreak today.

Woot! Posted!

Chop chop, get to teaching you guys! :D

Nobady else was doing anything rough yet so I decided to get shooting. Irid, I don mind if I miss my shot and I hit a bit to the right.  :evil:

I'll get to reading. Rooks is going to take on the youths, and Seh'nara hasn't posted yet so I'll poke her some time soon when I see her. Then I can post again ;)

Come on, you guys have just been attacked!

Whoops. I'll get a post up by this weekend, okay? I'm sorry I can't make it sooner, but my tests are coming up, so I'm all tapped out. :(

Alright, thanks for letting me know :)

I'll post the moment someone else posts, I don't like posting so close together, unless you'd like me too. Oh just a quick question can a mage hold more than one spell at a time? If so, there is going to be some fun times ahead!

I'd say it depends on the level of the mage and the level of the spells (and how much concentration they need). But then, I don't know that much about magic ;)

Posted, as promised! :D

I hope it's fine. And just so you know, Xander would definitely love some serious hurt on the boys. :)

Well holy Invisible Charging Dwarves I posted!

Ok, someone feel free to lecture them on the whole insulting / tweaking hair thing, and her on the manipulation if you want to :P You can all describe how you knock the shit out of some youths, but please don't kill anyone, we don't want the whole village on our tail when we leave ;)

I will post soon, I've horridly busy! But I promise a post within the week!
