Actually, I was going to do it. So its ok. Saves me the trouble.

All works well here, I hope?

Vir there is the same propblem we had in the Dawn of War story with the bottems and all that.  Art fixed Dawn of War but maybe you can figure this one out.  It has to do with the theme I believe as the buttons are not the same.

Also wehn you guess read my post if it seems all over the place you your computer just tell me.  I will fix it myself but don't know.  I think it looks alright...at least on my comuter it does.  And what I mean by spaces all over the place is it there lines where one two words make up the entire line where more then two words should be there...I hope I don't have you confused already....

Can I join this game?

Yeah, gladly welcome you. Since we're just starting, read what's already been posted and post.

Could I join With Tama?

Involve her plot somehow?

Maybe her, and whoever wants to play her other half,  Are looking for the stone with the hopes that it will Change the spell on her?

Otherwise Can Ashen join?

Verveces tui similes pro ientaculo mihi appositi sunt. -  I have jerks like you for breakfast

Either one sounds good. I personally like the idea with Tama. That choice is up to you. So, choose the one you want, post it in character description and since we haven't got past the beginning where everyone is coming together just read what's posted and post

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

I have to Figure out who will be her significant other. Lol

Her Story

Name- Tamahene Veronica
Age- 65 years
Race- 1/2 human 1/2 elven- During the Day- Full Bred A. Wolf
Tribe- The KasumarII (Kar'II)
Height- 1.5 peds
Weight- 95lbs- Pure muscle though
Hair- Long red Hair, Like The Firey Sun
Order- GreenDeaths

Owns-
3 daggers- Each hidden somewhere
1 Long Staff- strapped to back, opposite the sword.
1 long sword, strapped to her back with a leather belt
1 short sword- Worn on Hip
Long Gowns and tight leather outfits.- She always wears a Large, Rose Bracelett her father gave her
Tan Stallion Named Betrotle- Stands 2 peds at the shoulder. Pure Muscle.
Leather bag, holds all her clothes Ect.

Schooling- Placed in school upon her 10th b-day. Quickly learned how to heal with animal and plants alike, each having certain abilities. She also learned how to do some plant cropping

Abilities
Master in the arts of poisons, healing and understanding Animals. Very smart and a quick learner.
Very Agile-An Excellent fighter, having learned how to fight with Bows, Swords, Daggers and Staffs.
She has an uncanny ability to get what she wants, using sneaky methods of showing off her body. She almost
always gets what she wants.
She is very skilled in fighting with her Long sword which is poisoned with snake venom. Something Tama herself is immune to after many years slowly building up an immunity, after having subjected herself to it slowly but continuiously.
Leather goods- Able to make leather items while with mercs.



Attitude In the Past
Once Snotty and Spoiled
Often talks the talk, but doesnt walk the walk. She often thinks she is stronger then she is an refuses to admit defeat.
NEVER admits to an injury, Nor lets herself be healed.
Show Off- The creator gave her a nice body, She sees NO reason Not to show it off.

Current
Having long fallen in love with "?", Tama’s wild ways settled down greatly. She became quiet and stopped fighting as much as she had. No longer working for anyone, she instead stayed by "?"'s side.
Within a few years of their love… another fell in love with Tamahene. His name was Barstain A strong, evil man, he couldn’t face the fact that Tamahene did not love him, and if he could not have her… noone would. He gained the trust of a mage and made him cast a spell upon Tamahene and her love. The spell though did not have the full affect that Barstain wanted. He wanted her to be a ashmarian wolf at all times, that way, "?" would never again be able to love her. Instead the spell only made Tama be the wolf half of the time… during the day. She is plagued though… during the day she is a pet, and at night she is human. She remembers little about the other side of her life, though she does remember the spell cast upon her… and in each form she does remember "?".

They have lived 2 years like this… seeing each other in their true forms only at night.

I think you are supposed to post the character descriptions in the CD thread.  


Also, isn't your sign-in name supposed to match the character name?  Might want to fix that.

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

I know... my Point in posting it here was to Fill the "?" In So someone could see what her story was before I post it.

And I have a name under that... If you checked out SOS, You could see it.

I may be geting rusty with my rping mind if an old friend joins this story Sinnen  

Dray, I'd be glad if you joined. If people keep wanting to join I may have to stop it though. Still, welcome Dray. Post your character description in the CD thread and just read whats been posted and post.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

~yawns in boredom and waits for whoever that wants to play "?" in her part of the story.

You might want to run him as a follower, sort of like Maen does with her brother.  This way you'll have total control over your PCs and won't have to wait for anyone to post.

Besides, it might be a long wait otherwise, to find someone willing to play the lover for your character.

Thanks for you concern but I think I can handle the plot myself. Im not asking for you too play anyone, I am leaving it open so I will Continue to RP the way I so desire.

Thanx.

Sammykins,

I wasn't so much offering you advice as trying to nip-in-the-bud all your future "ho-hum", "yawn" and "woe-is-me" posts in this OOC.

If no one has offered to play the yin to your yang yet, then either take the initiative and do it yourself, or run a different character.  Besides, there is no requirement to even have "the other half" for what you are playing.  You can run the PC as is.

By the way, this PC concept is so ten-years-ago.  Although Ladyhawk was an awesome movie, it takes major writing talent to pull it off in an rpg without it turning to complete mush.

I wish you the best of luck...

Now...now. Don't argue. Muargath's right however.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

The Plot will Work, and if it doesnt... then its None of Your loss. So dont worry about it. There are many plots that falter... Whats one more.

I posted the suggestion like... 3 or 4 hours ago... how much waiting have I done? Not much. If noone wants to play the other part, then I wont bring the char in... Simple as that.

As for it fitting in... Could naught they have heard about it? Regardless of what happened... When, and now are trying to seek it?

Im sure it could be worked out one way or another. Ive been Rpin almost 9 years now.. Everything can be worked out somehow... As long as people are willing to Try. If People arent willing to Try then the point is mute no matter what you are trying.

I'm in an RP'ish mood. Anyone have a problem with Vir jumping into the story? Or is it all bad guys?

Oh no!  We aren't all bad guys... some of us are bad girls!  

Joking!  

Actually, I really don't think there are any villains here.  Please jump in whenever you like!

Can Junas jump into the story now? Is that ok with everyone?

Viress, of course you can. Junas you too.

From this point on anyone when people want to join. I'm going to ask everyone what they think of it first as we seem to be steadily growing.

It's just fine.

Sinen, far be it from me to tell you how to run your story, but besides your latest post, the time-crunched and multi-tasked one*, your PC's actions have left very little choice for anyone to join your quest.  

Unless you expect 5-6 PCs to skulk around in the shadows behind you and Drey, I suggest you try something else.  If you want to move things ahead, you should give the rest of us ample warning...    


* Went upstairs, slept, had a dream, woke up and packed, went downstairs and talked to Drey, left without allowing him or anyone else time to reply, went back upstairs to grab your stuff, then back down and out the door before anyone else has had a chance to react to anything.

I've not left, he started to leave, and i didn't finish the post. There is a reason for that. And he isn't going to just leave, he's going out side and taking care of business he needs to. I said leaving by break of daylight ( at least thought i did) There is no way it is even near.

Besides, I added to my post so I'm still in the tavern. Was a bit busy and forgot the last little bit.

Cool enough.

Well, it took a little work, but I got it right.... then I realized I got a little ahead of another post... so I split them up.

Hope it works.

She's gotta go somewhere; and she's an old fart.
Thanks.

Sinen have yu actually left the tavern or are you standing at the dorrway looking at me and Vir?

I'm walking out the door. still inside

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

okay thanks

Now off to post  

Might it be possible to join in this thread?

I have an idea for the smooth entrance of my character if it's alright.  

Well I have no say over this story (one of the few that I am part of that I don't  ) but I think we are still near the begining the start of it....but I would wait for Sinen word  

Gashnum, I'll say yes, but I need to know how your going to join up with the rest. We should be leaving town about right now.  

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Ok, I'll be joining up outside of town. See, the group will be coming along. And me being a wandering peddler type will be there some distance from the town. Being that my character walks slow (see the CD forum) he will be caught up to by the group.

 

that works for me.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Great!  

So Gashnum and Muargath will already know each other, since they have met in The Thirsty Herald.  Hmm.  We're going to have to decide what they think of each other.  

Speaking of which, I'm waiting for you to post there.    

"There is serenity in Chaos.

- so says the Principia Discordia

Sorry about the wait Muargath, had a busy couple of days. But posted now.

Speaking of this thread....

Here I come!!

Sinen is an elf and he's in the front of the group, so I think I will leave the spotting of Gashnum to him.    

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."

That makes good sense. This should be a barrel of fun

Oh, Muargath how do you think our characters should react to each other? since we are previously acquainted.

Edited by: Gashnum Invraldi at: 2/3/03 12:08:19 am

Sorry once again for my absense. I'm gonna catch up now

Viresse if you could edit your post, Gashnum isn't on his horse. In fact he can't ride. And would never be seen on a horse as he would be quite liable to fall...

Oh. Right. I forgot.

"Oh, Muargath how do you think our characters should react to each other? since we are previously acquainted." - Gashnum

I asked the same thing earlier, in this thread.  

Just to make this simple, we'll say that Gashnum and Muargath parted on friendly termsin the Thirsty Herald thread.  Mostly because I can't imagine why they'd part otherwise, but also because I suspect that these two are kindred spirits.

Junas:  Sinen didn't walk up to us and say that.  He was talking to himself.

Yes, it seems they both enjoy the same kind of... shall we say

Sorry to leave you for a while, but im going to Disneyland Paris tomorrow and i wont be back until late Friday, so i may not post until Saturday.

Shall i make Jamalian go off somewhere for a while or shall i allow you to control him as from tomorrow until im back.
Im happy to do both, so its up to you all.

We're not in the tavern any longer, perhaps a new chapter is in order?

That would be something  

Oh, I didn't realize that Muargath(this is responding to your earlier post )

My Online Journal

The next chapter will start shortly. In the mean time continue in with this one.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Okay.  

.

sammy did u try to say something there...I would love to hear it as I miss your words  

I've started the next chapter

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Concerning the travel time-

I checked the map at this link:

www.santharia.com/maps/me...tharia.htm

and the measurement scale on the map doesn't indicate if it is in Stral, League, or Furlay (a personal pet peeve of mine, since most maps are universally miles, if it should be anything else, it should say on the map what).    But whatever it is, the distance can be anywhere from 100 to 150 depending on where the exactly location of Leseris is (originally shown as being a small town west of the Paelelon woods, I imagined it would be directly west, halfway between top and bottom of the woods).

My point in all this being: could we possibly reach Hog in one day's travel by foot? (not even factoring in a lame guy?  Sorry Gashnum, I didn't mean lame as in "weanie".. Heh!  You are way too cool for that!)

Maybe it would be better to name another small town or village that is closer to where we are and where we need to be?

Just an idea...

Also, is there any chance we'll be entering the Heath of Cijur?  I've always wondered what a heath would be like.  
The definition sounds cool enough: An extensive tract of uncultivated open land covered with herbage and low shrubs; a moor.

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

Sinen:  Additionally, I hope you aren't splitting up the group because Muargath had a little larceny on her mind.  

Muargath never did say anything loud enough for anyone but Gashnum and possibly Junas to hear.  (I don't care how good elvish hearing is, they aren't Supermen!)    Since none of the PCs actully tried to read Muargath's mind in their posts (magically or otherwise) this can only be Player's Knowledge being used in the worst way.  I would hate to have to write guardedly because my PC's thoughts are open to all in this type of forum and thus being used unfairly... that is just no fun for me.

Muargath may be a bit gruff, but she doesn't have THIEF tatooed on her forehead!

If this is going to be the case, if this is the way the game will be run, then let me know and I will graciously bow out of the storyline.  Not grumping here... just being practical.

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

yes I hope Sinen wasn't doing this amoung that way...though it was Dray motion which begun it...not Sinen's.

No, I'm not splitting up the group really. What I'm doing is having myself and two more that can stand to travel on to go ahead to the sages do to certain urgent matters. Leave that as it is for now it is part of the story. When Sinen says you could reach hog in a day he is forgetting that the rest of the group is not just him and certain other factors exist as well. Don't worry how long it really takes you because Sinen and his little party may very well take longer than expected at the sage's and It would prove interesting in a story kinda sense if we got to the town first.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

"Thank you," he said sweetly while smiling.   !?!  WTF?    

I'm starting to think that Junas is gay.  Either that, or his writer is used to running chicks.

Meantime, if you are looking for a lot of info, pile it on.  
I kept her up just so you could pry her and then I plan on having Muargath fall asleep at the end of my second post. (just to clarify- you post, then me, then you, and lastly me)

We can always speak more on the trek, as long as we are still on speaking terms, that is.

Viresse: Regarding your OOC in the other thread-

*ooc: Muargath. I had made an assumption of you from your demeanor and mode of dress. I hope that's okay as I'm trying not to use you "internal monologue" as a basis.


I like it.  Muargath's attire was clearly described in my first couple of posts in this game.  I should probably refresh people's memories sooner or later.  Not everyone reads all the back posts like I do.  Hell, some don't even read the last post!

Yo Junus you might want to edit your last post I think you were in the mindset of one of your other characters when you made it...no biggie though, just might make it easier for others who read the story

Hey, Dray and Gararion, What do you think about speeding up the travel through the day. Nothing is really going to happen until right around sunset, and the Sage won't be reached until after sundown.

Sure go ahead.

Well, let us have a little fun now shall we?

Ha!  You want to hear something funny?  I just rechecked the map and we should've taken the other road!  We didn't have to go through the heath at all!      

Boy-o-boy will everyone be pissed off at her when they find out that all their troubles will be from Muargath's mistake at the split in the road...

In all honesty, I was going from memory and I thought Hog was a bit further east than it is.        Ah, well... more excitement for us then!


Gashnum:  This road through the heath could be here for a number of reasons, but I can think of two right now.  One is that there is/was a settlement somewhere inside the heath.  The other would be the road is the most direct route to Yorick, with the road going straight south through the heath and then running along the river bank to Yorick, or with the road angling even more to the east and cutting across to head directly to Yorick.  Either way, there should be a road between Yorick and Hog, along the river way, and we can round back in that direction when we reach it (or should I say, if we reach it).  


Here's the map again for reference:
www.santharia.com/maps/me...tharia.htm

Chances are, Sinen, Dray and Gararion will make it to Hog before us.     I wouldn't be surprised it it was so.

Hello guys,

I was wandering if I could join your adventure. This would be my first rp in Santharia.
My character (according to CD) has just left the Paelelon forest so I think I could enter the adventure without causing too much of a mess.

I say yes! as long as you have a smooth way to intro. him.

But I don't know how much my opinion really matters since this isn't my story

Hey what else do you expect from a level 10 mage eh?

In another story, SoS, I am very close to being level 11.    

Elende, I will say yes, but only after you provide me with a sound way for your character to join up with everyone else. At the moment three of us are seperated from the rest.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Sinen,
 Ok, this is  how  I was thinking my character could enter the adventure. First of all he is supposed to just have left the Paelelon forest and heading south. You see he (or I if you prefer) is supposed to be half Eophyrhim but decided to leave the drow way of life.
 I will not  go into detail of why he left and under what circumstances here.( More info in the CD)

  ANyway the drow hunted him down until at last exited the Paelelon. So to make a more dramatic entrance i was thinking that I would have been hit by an poisoned arrow (since Eophyrhim usually coat their weapons with poison). After days of wandering around and fight of the poison, i would fortunately stumble to a group of adventures (that's you). Exhausted I fall unconsious when we meet, you save my life from the deadly poison and to repay you I assist you in your quest.

 OK this is just a brief description of what I have in mind. The actually entry is going to be far more elaborate.

Ok, The plan is that i would have you run into the party with Gashnum and Muargath and the others because I'm seperated from them and much further than them. Otherwise, your good to go.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Groovy, I am off then!!!!!!!!  

OK guys is getting kinda later here,    so I will come back tommorow.

I posted my CD  in the appropriate thread, so if for any reason you need to play my chracter have a look at the CD and act accordingly.

*looks*

You actually read my CD?

*looks down to the ground shifting the sand with his foot*

Sorry to tell you that it is undergoing a major face lift on my computer  

Please use quotation marks around your spoken words, so I can tell the difference between what you are saying and what you are thinking.

Please be aware that a lot of us use italics for our PC's thoughts only, I wouldn't want you to get confused and respond to what someone else is thinking.

Thanks in advance!

Also, could you please edit your earlier posts and put in quotations?  Thanks again.

yea, i was just going to point that out as well... I had no idea whether you said anything or not until I read your post over a second time.

No problem though, just change it and all should be fine.

OK, I did fix it, hope it's better now.
 Sorry .....

Good post, my friend!

Well...to when i created my character, my intention was to create someone that would strive to receive acceptance from anyone. Someone haunted by his dark past...

 So I simply couldn't hope for anything better that this    

Could you possibly delete my first post of the 2 right after each other? I posted, but it didn't register for some reason so I went back and posted again so delete the shorter one please..

What say we skip Viresse for the moment
Its been quite a few days since she posted so...

what d'ya think?

Sounds good to me.  Will you "bunny" her a bit? or just assume she doesn't answer?

I have decided to play that she doesn't answer immediatly. Its more real and might end up being more fun

I will see if I can remind Vir about this or at least ask why she hasn't been around the next time she is on MSN.

If your still accepting, I'd like to become part of this adventure. If I am allowed, could I have a brief summary of what is happening?  

Don't worry Elende. He left the Phaleon long before you did, he knows nothing of you.   Great CD btw.

Starting now I'm leaving new members of this story up to popular vote. So, I'd like to know what everyone thinks about adding a new member now.......

Fine by me.

I vote, no  j/k i say yea

I say no unless you can invent an incredibly feasible way to join with the party. As of now there are too many in the group for it to be believable as a human dominated world.

If you can make it cool and believable then im all for you joining up.

Gashnum has a point....The amount currently is a few more than I'd originally planned. I'm siding with Gashnum on the point that you need to create a really creative way to join. But so far I'm still waiting on the rest of the member's thoughts. Hold on and wait to see what everyone else thinks....

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Creativity has never been one of my problems.

I'll await the other's decisons but I assure you I cna think of a good way in.

1) What is the way in?
2) How active can you be?

Then I will give my answer.  

Pardon my delay in posting.  I was at GameStorm, a gaming convention, over the weekend and I wasn't able to post.

Had a blast, but it's over now and I am back to my old routine.

But I am a person who has been around and have logged many hours and seen much.  

Well I'll go with the majority, but I have to agree with Gashum and Gar too.... so lets see what you come up with Alright

I'm going to move us forward into day again.  I hope no one minds.

By the way, where is everyone?    

"There is serenity in Chaos.

 Sorry guys for not posting for so long (more than ten days)...but I avhe been a bit busy lately.
 Anyway, I am back now....

 As far as new people are concerned...what can I say...I am the newest addition...aren't I?

 But I think I will agree with Gash, Gar and Dray....shows us the story!!    

*looks into the dark shadows of the forgotten*

Umm....Sinen...Dray....anyone there?

I have been really busy preparing for a national competition I have comming up there was more work involved than I thought on top of school and normal job, I am leaveing for 6 days on the 11th as well so I may have to be "carried" for that time period well I won't have access to a computer so I will have to be carrued not may about it.  

ah...now waits word from Sinen......

*whistles*

But I will be gone for 5-6 days without computer access, I still  wish to be in the story, but will be absent, hopefully while I am gone things get going again

*Said in her best Hannibal Lector, imitation...


Hey!  Wassup?  Why isn't anyone posting!  Must I post back to back to keep this alive?     Because, I will!

"There is serenity in Chaos.

- so says the Principia Discordia

I am waiting for Sinen to post.    

I don't know where Sinen is, but if he doesn't come back soon to jumpstart this thread... I suspect it will die!  

As far as I know, he is the only one who knows what the plot is.  Without him to run things, the rest of us are at a loss, I believe.

*SIGH*  And I saw such promise in this game too....    

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

Yes that I feel is the fate of this.  I have come to the conclusion that there will be two mods in each story and these two mods will both know what the polt line is, just in case something like this happens.  I would really like to see a story continue to its finish...

Oh thank the fates!  I had feared that Gashnum was another of Capher's PCs (as you both are gifted writers) and prayed that you weren't!  I am so glad to see you posting!  So very glad!

What a relief!

Now if only Sinen would return!


ADDENDUM:  I have posted our group setting out again. I think that someone should post our arrival to the town of Hog.  If no one else is up to it, I will do so tomorrow morning, which gives this group of writers ample time to post again in the interim.

Edited by: Muargath   at: 4/23/03 9:24:41 pm

Thank gods. To HOG!
I was getting ill of camping.

Hello all,

I sent an ICQ message to Sinen, repectfully asking him to allow me to continue his story/game, either as an assistant during his absence, or as the new GM, should RL be too much for him to handle running this story.

I will let you know what his reply is when I get it.

In the meantime, I will move our group into Hog.

I hope you are all still as interested in this thread as I am.  

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

yes I am, but what will happen to our end of the story...will you be running it?

I do not know Gararion.  I have yet to hear from Sinen.  I hope he will let me help out though.  

I am on these boards several times throughout the day, every day.  I don't mind taking the lead in a game.  In fact, I just narrated us all into Hog with my last post.

It is here in Hog that those who wish to stay in the story may do so.... or they can safely leave and go to another thread if they prefer.  

As for Gararion, Dray and Sinen, I do not know what Sinen had in mind for you there.  We will have to wait for Sinen to reply.  But I am willing to take over that end too, if I have to.

Unfortunately, too many stories are starting and stalling.  I have no wish to see this one end so soon.  Which is why I have offered to help run it.      Let's hope that Sinen reads this and realizes that we really want to continue this story!    

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

Yes hopefully.  That is why I started Nyermersys, to give people a place where it will be active a lot, and where if a person becomes inactive they pay  

sorry all for my absence....I had run into some trouble with school and the likes but I'm back....I have thought much about it and I do believe that a second mod would be helpful in case I need to dissappear again though I don't think I will.....

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

yeah we can now move on

oh yeah

welcome back Sinen

Woo hoo!

"There is serenity in Chaos.

- so says the Principia Discordia

Again I sincerely apologize for my long absence.....Let's get this story back on track...shall we....Oh, Muargath, I never did get your ICQ message...ICQ hasn't been working on my computer....but Like I said last post, a second mod would be helpful....

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Hello guys,

 Sorry for my long absence. I will be active once more shortly!!  It's good to see that the group finally moved on....I suppose a thanks to Muargath is in order.

 ANyway I will be posting regularly again within a couple of days.

ok.....chapter three begins now.....so start posting....I've moved myself, Dray, and Gararion to Hog....

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

OK.  I'm posting now in Chapter 3.  

Sinen, you might want to lock the other two threads...

I hope you don't mind, but I went with your PC's illness as a subplot.  

The medicines Muargath got from the old,  gnome medicine woman are:

An elixir that will numb pain, but is not a narcotic (won't make you sleepy or knock you out).  It is green, kinda thick like syrup, yet oily in texture.  The taste is very bitter, like gag-me bitter, and the drug is not addictive.  Each dose will numb strong pain for about 3 hours.  It is also like a low-level anti-biotic in that you need to take the entire perscribed amount until it is gone... for that result.

The tea is more of a fever-reducing (strong) and anti-inflammatory (weak) brew.  The taste is no worse than a standard tea, and even has a hint of spice (like cinnamon) to it.  If taken too strong or too large amount, this stimulant will over-exert the heart and possibly cause a heart attack.  This is an addictive drug.  It acts like speed or meth when abused, even though is is a tea... but it is the best fever reducing herbal medicine that grows (southern Santharia) in this area.  Works great if used in moderation.

I know, I know: I should have gone and researched at the web-site, but I was too lazy.  It is easier for me to make it up.  If no medicine like this is available, the development team is welcome to take these and add them to the list.  Feel free to name them whatever you like.  As usual, these drugs might have differing affects on different races.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Dying thread?  I hope not.  But I am the only one who is posting anything substantial lately.

Someone, please let me know if I'm wasting my time!

Was gonna say something, but i'm gonna wait a few seconds and think about it....

Yeah, you have been, but I think it's got a bit to do with our players. I was going with the whole trust thing, but since Elende came, I was going to fling that whole Trust thing at HIM, cause I think that would work well.
I don't know what Elende thinks.

I can't help to feel that my previous absence partially caused the die down here...anyway, a substantial post is on its way from me..don't worry..

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Hello guys and gals,

I'm doing what I can to keep this thread hopping.  Gashnum had his character become sick and I've run with the ball in his absence.  If no one wants to add into this twist that is perfectly fine, but please, by all means, do come up with your own subplots.  Everyone should have something else going on in addition to the main plot, which Sinen will deliver to us in due course.

Please have your character become involved, rather than remain a wall-flower.  It will make the story better in the long run. (And hopefully, with everyones help, this story will have a very long run!)  Thanks for listening to my musings...

*thinks*
Me, muargath, Sinen, Dray, Gar, Elende and Gash...

I think that's all that's active now.

Well, if Gashnum's writer doesn't return soon, I'm going to have to abandon him, which is something that Muargath is loathe to do.  

I don't want to do that, but if Sinen is back, then the story must move forward.

I just hope that Gashnum's absence doesn't have anything to do with happenings elsewhere on these boards... If so, then I am truly sorry for the loss of this great character.     Muargath will never forget him, that's for sure.

But the show must go on.  So I shall post again:

I'm here im here. I haven't had the time for any playing lately. My life is getting kicked into gear (finaly) and computer activities have fallen onto the back burner. I am still here and I check the site every day or so. When I grab a few more minutes I'll post.

Muargath: Your doing fine with the sickness, its what I planned for. Thanks for carrying me. I'll shall make a post within a day (hopefully) thanks for your patience guys.

Gashnum!  Yay!  Well, Alia stepped in and healed you with magic, so come morning, you'll have to post!  

Viresse, that was an excellent post!  Top-notch!  If only Muargath could read elves as well as humans... but I suppose she is a bit preoccupied.

I hope you all don't mind me posting through until morning...
If more was planned by anyone, please hollar and I'll gladly alter my post.

anybody know about Gar? Been waiting for him so I can post

Don't wait, Dray.  

Just post around him.  Assume Gar is here with Sinen, Alia & you.  When Gar returns, he will post that he's been here all along.       Its all good.

was planning on having a conversation with Gar and it was perfect timing and placement..... oh well scratch that character development... I'll post after Sinen relays our action plan then

I am here now.

Sorry about that.

I would love to have a conversation with yeah if possible.

people...where is everyone....make your way to the downstairs portion fo the inn where sinen is so we can begin to move on

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Everyone else, except Vir, is in the common room of the inn already.

Dray is about somewhere, though he hasn't posted (he stated he's awaiting Gar's return, and Gar has done so...).  Alia is upstairs and you just went to get her.  Viress will return as soon as people begin posting again.  

So, Sinen, the rest of us await you...

Sinen:  My mistake on that.  I should have read the first post again... but I coulda swore that's where we started!

Sorry  (again) for my absence.....I was away for a week in Reims, France for a football tournament.....quite nice city actually...but anyway I am back now!

I was awaiting Dray to post, but will post soon.

  If anyone needs to get ready, they will do so in their post before following you, Sinen.

well I posted I followed and have been waiting for the next chapter I dunno about the others

Hello there. Sorry for not posting all this time... I was checking the board almost on a daily basis.

Although It may not have been clear from my last post I will be following Sinen. I didn't say explicitly that I followed him but I did mention that I will be...maybe I was my fault that I wasn't clear enough.

 Anyway I think we should be moving on the next chapter as soon as possible. Can anyone contact the others to make sure they are in or out?

I am hear now, sorry about my absence...

I will be following as well, just need to read what I have missed then post.  But I will be following.

The question is...what about Gashnum and Viresse...Jus need to hear from them...tomorrow I should have the next chapter open...

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

has anyone heard from them...I have been away a little to long to know where they are now  

I was hoping Muargath would at least know about Gashnum...If I don't hear from them I have to decide whether or not to carry them...Most likely I will

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

The last time I chatted with Gashnum was a while back.  We were talking about him joining my new game.  That was about two weeks ago, I think.  I have no clue where he is.  Sorry.  

  Yoo hoo!     Gashnum!     You out there?

Well Gashnum, as far as I can see, there isn't any real interest in this game, not even by Sinen- who should be posting daily to keep it alive.  He knows damn-well that we can't do anything until he gives us something- anything- to work with.  

Being a part of a dying game (especially as long, drawn-out, and agonizing as this one) is more painful to me than not being in a game at all!

To make matters even worse, the moderator for my other game is a big talking, zero follow-through, no-show  and I keep getting stymied on starting my own game (now they want me to move the game north!  NORTH!  Gah!) -not that THAT matters much, since the only titled person who shows any interest is you.  Bah!  

I'm feeling extremely "pushed-out" right now...from this entire board.  It's almost like people want me to leave.  I could contribute a lot to this place, if given the freedom to.  What do you think, Gashnum, should I take the hint and leave?  

"There is serenity in Chaos.

- so says the Principia Discordia

No! you better not leave. Your the only character mine has had any interaction with. We should start our own thread or something. Since we're both able to post frequently. And we definately have the interest to keep it going.

Even if I'm the only person.. I want you to stay, So you can't leave.  

lets see if we can get something together (maybe start a story) and actually get it finished. I'm up for it, i'm drooling to be in a fast paced thread with more than one post a day.
Lets see who else is!

Hey there you two .....count me in! This is my first character and I really have put a lot of effort into him and of course this is my first RP and I hate to see it dying that way!

Hello all. I was wondering if I could join this rpg. I have another character named Tierria that I need to wait for a final approval. She tags along with Severine...so I might have to wait for her

I don't see why not...you may have to wait anyway till I figure out how to get you in...if you have any ideas let me know...It may be beneficial to read some of the posts and get an idea whats been going on though.

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Hey Sinen?  

What's going on?  This sudden influx of demons- which your PC was able to identify by sound alone (I'm still trying to figure that one out)- does it have anything to do with the Fire Gem or are you just spicing things up?

I'll post anyway, even though I'm kinda lost...

"There is serenity in Chaos.
Seek ye the Eye of the Hurricane."
- so says the Principia Discordia

The demons themselves have nothing to do with the fire gem, the guy commanding them you'll find out later does have something to do with it. Sinen recognizes them by sound because he's dealt with them before. Not something one usually forgets.  

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

I hope you aren't minding us keeping your PC in the mix.  It is only in a peripheral sense, anyway... we just presume he'd react this way.

I don't mind you guys draggin me along I appricate it I am really busy this week and last so I don't find much time to check the board

Heh.  I name our "little" demon.         But he is still a  grunt, a soldier.  Come on, Gashnum... you can best him, right?

By the way, is Duster dead?  If he is, I see no reason to kill off the packhorse just yet...

Ooh... such angst.  Such drama!  (And it's a good thing to have the drama in the story, as opposed to in the OOC threads!  Don't you agree?)    

"There is serenity in Chaos.

Ooh! Duster could be dead.. I don't know. I don't want him to die, I suppose I'll let the fates decide.. When the time comes I'll flip a coin to see if he perishes.

And the horse.. well we kinda need it.. unless you wanna carry a buncha crap  

It is good to see something going on. I rather enjoy it.

I'll write up an IC post soon, i gotta figure out how the hell i'm gonna try to fight off a demon....

If you can get him to move, I'll be able to reach my dagger.  

I like Duster too.  Remember, he can be hurt and Alia can heal him like she did you back at the inn.  

I agree that we need the horse.  That's why I didn't make the demon attack it (he, she?).


Edit to correct spelling of Alia's name (why do I keep thinking its Aria?)

well I don't like it but this story is moving along very slowly no posts from Sinen since this attack began same with elende. Nothing for Gararion or any of the others that started this with us then kinda drifted off.I mean we can fight demons til the cows come home, but we need more of a direction. I don't think its too much to have everybody post once a day or even every other day with more posts a good thing. I am gulity of waiting for others before I post, but maybe I should be like Muragath and Gashum and just go on my own. Maybe that will get some fire going under people

Alright Muargath, its in your hands! Don't be to harsh.

Yes!  Dray, please do!  Don't wait.... just post.  

Sinen will come back eventually.

And it only took Gashnum running it through, Muargath stabbing it few times, and then it killed itself.  Dumb beast.     What are the odds that'll happen again?

Sorry guys, I've been out of town...actually, I'm not back yet and don't have time to post yet....I had to leave on a family emergency so again much sorry....I'll post tomorrow when I get home...I've got a good long post to make up for my absence....

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

That, my friends, is how one retires a character!

Sadly, I didn't think this story was working for Muargath (even with all of Gashnum's help) so this was as good a time as any to kill her off.  Muargath isn't a fighter as was clearly demonstrated by this encounter with the demons.

And just so you all know, I had planned for her to die in this story all along, which was why (another reason) I never brought her to Nyermersys (10 years in the future) .

I hope this tragic event somehow adds to the story and possibly to each of your characters too (well, at least the ones that cared about Muargath).  Think of her as the Tasha Yar of this story, if you will.  One of the things that rarely happens in these online stories is the death of a PC.  I don't know if Muargath is the first, but I hope she will not be the last!  We all know it's better to go out in a blaze of glory than to fade away.  Now where did I hear that before?

I will continue to read this story guys.  Make me proud.

"This here is Alia Locktear. She joins us at least for this small leg of our journey for she studies herbs from our sage's vast library."

"with a slight movement of her right wrist the demon's flesh springs into a bought of searing white flame. It flails around forgetting its victim and scowls at Alia as it's charred body collapses and dies"

Hey Sinen, this show of power on Alia's behalf is incosistant with the story.  If she can destroy the demons so easily, then why are the rest of the PCs fighting at all?  She could just wave her hand and take them all out, right?

And just a three days before, Alia was only a healer , with earth element spells, who needed help when attacked by  a few orcs.  Suddenly she's causing destruction via conflagration?  Check your back posts, if you don't believe me.

You may want to alter you post a bit.  Such a show of power by an NPC is unfair to the other players in your story...

There is more to Alia than you've yet to see...she is quite powerful, and is more than a healer. However, to bear her full might on the demons would be far more dangerous than fighting them...plus it is her personal oath not use her power for that other than healing and aiding others...and only in desperate need...further, she prefers you not know what she is....Clues will be there and learn more about her as time passes, but the object is to raise curiosity....

Further, when you see the severe consiquences for such a display of power and use of such Raw magic, you'll understand why she has not destroyed every demon, and needed help against Orcs...but for the record, she didn't actually need help with the orcs...As I remember it, it was Sinen who rushed blindly to her aid without paying attention to her needs...

When you see what is to come you'll understand. Trust me, it isn't unfair...such power comes with severe drawbacks and weaknesses...And not one of her spells has been an elemental magic...it is a much deeper magic...all her work with the earth has been nothing more than reshaping what already exists....And her little fire thing was nothing more than manipuation of the combustible air around a flamable material...a bit of logic...she can't create Earth or Fire or any element. She works with that which is in existance...She isn't too powerful...she's just smart and knows how to use what she has to work with...still, maybe you should question her when the battle is over...

Of course, you set it up so you die, she doesn't save you as All she did was kill a demon in rage...or maybe vengence for a traveling companion...either way, she pays the consequences for her use of power.....

Well, it is your game, Sinen.  I only pointed out what looked to be a mistake.  Be wary of making an NPC that far exceeds the PCs in power.  

Just a little advice from a long-time gamemaster: you'll only end up making the Players feel like they are useless or unimportant to the story, or worse, that they have to "play up" their own power levels to match Alia's.  (Then you end up with a Gods-R-Us campaign.)

And also take care that you don't make the Alia NPC your own.  If you do, then you have effectively bypassed the CD creation rules and that, too, is extremely unfair.  The CD Mods might not take too kindly to that either.  Best to keep her at arm's length!

Believe me, there is nothing worse than fighting your way, tooth and nail, to the very throne of the biggest baddy, and then- just as you are about to defeat him- along comes the NPC sidekick who takes out the main objective... leaving everyone else to stand around looking dumb, like they just wasted a large portion of their lives playing in a game that would've ended the same whether they participated or not.  I've been in such games and they are no fun.

You have a couple of mages in your game already.  Gararion is the highest level mage allowed for a PC... isn't his wind magic powerful enough to make a difference?  What about Dray?  Can't he gain more power along the way?  I hope you will look over your player's PCs and use them to make your game, that's kinda what they are there for.

Anyhoo, sorry for the "lecture", I just saw that Alia's power has taken a huge leap upward and I didn't want to see her overshadow the PCs, is all.  

Carry on, carry on.

Muargath  

Trust me, Alia isn't sticking around through the end of the story. I know I have mages and there magic is perfect, but it isn't the same as Alia's magic. That a totally different form of magic. But as I've already said, I won't have an NPC showing large power unless he/she suffers large consequences for it.

Besides, soon, and I mean very soon, everyone will find out exactly how important they are. That is to say, every person is important and required. Alia is a figure from Sinen's past, a person I brought in simply for the purpose of further developing Sinen himself. I have an overall plan for her. Just keep watching and you'll see.

Anyway, thanks for the concern and the advice. I already knew all that but then I've been Role Playing since I could talk practically.

Where is everybody the only posts made in the last 2 weeks were by sinen myself gashum and muragath and now that she is dead that leaves 3 where are all the others who started? Gararion? Elende? Vir? Jamalian? Junas? anybody know?

Jamalian and Junas I haven't seen in a while...I've been contemplating dropping them...vir I've not seen either, but who knows....Gararion, well, I don't think he's been able to get here much

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

Is there room for another???

I'd say there is, but first I need to know how your going to enter into the story....

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

K, let me do some reading for a while and then ill figure out a way.

Well, assuming your in the woods(I dont know where) I could say that Sieg heard the clash of metal to his west or somthing.  He runs as fast as he can to see some demons(If you could tell me how many are left that would be great) attacking a group of travelers.  Then I could just go on and kill a demon or 2.  After the battle, you guys aproach me and what not and then, if its ok with you, im in...

well, we're not in the woods at the moment....we're just outside....I'm going to say there's 15 demons left as I seen to have lost track....and that seems right

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

so that would be cool if I just took out the woods part.

yeah, that would be cool....

K, tell me if thats good

Ji guys sorry for my long absence. I have really busy the last couple of weeks.
  You see, I am starting my PhD this October and currently I am struggling to secure funding.
 Actually I was thinking of making an exit from the story but the situation with the demons looks rather dire at the moment so I will stick around and try to post more often from now on.

 Again sorry for the absence. Next time I will try to let you know before it happens!

 Let's kick some demon @ss!!!!!!!!!

yes lets...oh, guys, I'm going to be gone starting next Wednesday....I'll be away for a whole 8 weeks....not sure what to do about the story until I get back

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

its the best we can do.... everybody post their e-mails so when your back you can e-mail us and we can continue the story????

that'll work...its about all that can be done...

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

When what you believe is a silly old man sitting down to tell you his tale it would be best to listen for you may learn something about yourself in his story.

Now you said that this fire gem can cure any disease.  Could it, perhaps, cure an amputated hand?  Just a question.  I hope the answer is yes, because Bobbo sure deserves it with all the work he has done for the common man.

anyone around?

I'm kind of confused as to how I am to fit into this story..I can't interrupt Sinen and Bobbo's conversation.......Can someone help me?

The poorest smart people can be sold as slaves, but the stupidest rich people will buy them.

you can approach me or Fredrick if you want. Im sure they wouldnt mind you interupting.

hey, I'm thinking of having a second moderator....not sure who....any volunteers....
