Adventures of Caelereth

OOC Thread is now open.  Please use this often.  The most successful stories often have a robust OOC.  It is a good place to discuss the story between yourselves and to create a commaraderie.

I will now unlock the story thread as we have a few writers joining.  Feel free to post.  Assume it is near midnight in late autumn.  It is brisk but no snow yet.  The tavern is pretty generic with a motley customer base.  It is not a high class place.

Have kicked it off with a post from the NPC I will be running for this story.

Everyone else is invited to make their opening posts. :D

Are players allowed to make up minor NPCs or not?

Also - if one of my fellow players decided that their character didn't like a street urchin trying to steal their dinner, that would be fine by me ...   :cool:

Minor NPCs, sure.  Let's not go overboard and veer the story off course, but in order to flesh out a scene, sure. :D

Sorry if there are a couple typos in my post. I was using my phone and it won't let me scroll up and edit it once it's typed. :undecided:

Hah.  That's a lot of typing on a phone.  Would have taken me hours.

<------ is not much of a texter

It's a little awkward but it's not that bad on the iPhone when you turn it to portrait.

I think I might have a feel for something now. Is it too late to try?

Not at all, Teri.  Please, join us. :)

Posted links to CDs in the sign-up page.

I want to just say that I have very much enjoyed reading all your first, and in some cases, second posts.  Thank you.

Still deciding, will be there shortly... :D

Had a full opening post written up, was about to post when my internet went down last night. Very frustrating. Trying again this morning.

I hope my post is ok!

Just in case someone wants to understand what he says, I guess elves would understand since they most likely made the same mistakes when they started learning Tharian.

Meat and vegetables a bit and fine wine a bottle as well please give. Corpsberry wine most preferable, but it not exist if, dry vine good bottle good is.

Some meat and vegetables and a bottle of good wines please. Corpsberry wine would be preferable, but if you don't have it then just a bottle of good dry wine will be fine.


I sorry am, something important going on might be, My lady what going on is to find out want if, I interupt not shall"

Something important might be going on. I am sorry my lady, if you want to find out what is going on then let me not interupt you any more.

Great posts everyone! I'm really excited to get this story up and off the ground. Now if only work would let up and let me spend more time on Santharia. :lol:

Looks good Azalahn and Garth and Kaelan. :thumbup: :D

Thanks! I was worried I'd overstepped by coming in after the fact, off a street that should otherwise have been empty.

Me's enjoying the posts, too.

But, well, how to put this ... we've got a testosterone overkill, don't we? Only one lady character so far! (Although at least one male character is played by a woman, if I'm not very much mistaken ...)

Ah ha. But I'm playing a lady. :D And I just posted, so yay!

4.5 Elves to 2.5 Humans. Perhaps humans should start having more babies or the elves will start taking over the world  :grin:

Good idea :D Let's go do that.

Post up. I is direct.

Well met, Seh! :)

Altario

Get me some food in your next post please. "Me 1 full day eat not because now very hungry and much eat must"  :grin:

You can puppet Azalahn a bit for a clarification of what he wants, if nobody understands what he is trying to say.

More amazing posts, folks.  Vey nice to see.

Did you need me to Az?  I had stated that players could run the minor NPCs.  Makes it faster and easier to keep the plot moving if you can do it yourself for the more mundane aspects, like ordewring food and drink in the tavern. 

More important NPCs like Tavis I should run, because he has special information or role to play that I need to disperse at the right time.

Maddy is just a generic tavern owner's wife, who wears the pants in the family because her husbands a milquetoast.:)  Do with her, or him, as you please.

OK.

Just wasn't sure about the importance of Maddy, and how unfriendly the staff will be towards a DARK ELF'S LOVER. OK not lovers but people don't know that.

So I am just going to assume that she will give him what he needs right away (money is money) and that she doesn't understand Styrash so she will need some clarification about what he wants. 

Or, maybe Maddy does understand elf because they live in an area where Elves have always been important.  Thaelon Forest and all.  You could be surprised and have a quick convo.  Whichever you decide.

Trust me, I'll be interacting with you once we get a bit further into the story. :)  I just want to keep more focused at the start in order to bring us all together and get into the plot. :D

Hey, Azalahn! Sorry about the confusion; Kaelan's drawing his weapons in the privacy of the room Kret got them, not out in the open, so your character most likely wouldn't have seen that, barring following them up to their room and opening the door, or possessing some kind of... magic sight or something.

I've edited my post in hopes to make that more clear, but the only reason I mention it to you is because I don't want others to think that my character is making an aggressive display in public.

Edited mine as well.

Hi Seh - I hope I haven't presumed too much about how closely your character guards her food ... Let me know if I have.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, uplifting winter solstice and best wishes to everyone!

It's quite alright. I like the way you play Movash. :D

A post from me shall be forthcoming, but if anyone else wants to post, go ahead.

Thanks, Seh! I look forward to your post.  :azn:

Claudirea here, just under a different name....

Um...I was actually approaching Gurrant....Perhaps I didn't make that very clear.....Sorry.....

Oh sorry, I edited my post

Whoops. Edited.

Thanks. I don't like using names if my character doesn't know it yet, so I can see how it can get confusing. I'll try to be more clear in the future. :)

Post up, yay! Movash, I think I did a very small amount of puppetting. Do tell me if I've overstepped my boundaries. I'll change it quick if I have. :D

All right in this case, Seh! Thanks for asking. Nice post!  :)

I will say one thing. I've had a previous unpleasant experience with puppeting. That was long ago, in a different story, involving different players, none of whom are currently active. At the time, I was playing an ostensibly 'helpless' character, as I am now. And somehow this helplessness (and possibly other things) led some players to forget the anti-puppeting rule and assume that they knew what my character could and would do. I would ask players not to make such an assumption. Surprise is the salt of roleplaying.

Maybe it wasn't necessary to say this. But I thought I'd rather waste a paragraph on preaching to the converted than later regret not having mentioned my concern.

Great story, so far, by the way - thanks both to the moderators and the players, I think!   :D

The easiest thing ever at this point would be to write Kaelan out of the story. In fact, I frankly can't think of anything that keeps him in. I guess it was nice playing...

I don't understand, Kaelan. Why are you thinking of leaving?


Garth - the 'boy' Movash thinks he sees is meant to be you!

:(  I hope you change your mind, Kaelan.  I hope that you don't take the fact that I'm prefering to let everyone kind of just find their level at the moment disuade you.  I am leaving everyone kind of feel out their characters and create their own friendships and alliances before we start hard into the story, rather than heavy handedly rounding you all up.

I promise that once we get moved out of the tavern and actually become a group, that things will tighten up.

Right now, just a bunch of strangers inhabiting the same tavern.  Everyone has their own focus.  Soon, the focus will shift to a common one and the interaction between us will be more substantial.

Though, if you decide the story is not for you, no hard feelings. :)

It's not a problem with the moderation, or any of the other players. It's a blast reading. I just don't see Kaelan moving out to join the party at this point.

A commotion that very nearly sounds like a brawl wouldn't be enough? :) Or he needs to eat, perhaps?

Eep. Sorry, Movash. I'll PM next time. :hug:

Kaelan - perhaps use another character?

Don't worry, Seh. I really loved your post.  :heart:  It's just that I saw a slippery slope lurking in the distance, and wanted to steer clear of it in good time. That said, in case of doubt, a PM is a good idea, of course.  :)

Garth, I loved your description of Garth's reaction to the weeping Movash!

Movash
I hope you are ok with getting some food offered. If you want to snatch some more then i will edit my post, just let me know.

Of course that's okay, Azalahn!  :cool:

I'll wait with responding, though, to give others time to post. Wanna know what Tavis and Gurrant are doing before deciding on Movash's reaction.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Post up.  Lead us outside, folks, though don't get us to the Pillar yet.  My next post will give you the visual. :)

I wonder... would Thorgas recognise Ridgen? :buck:

From the Kann? :) Sure, why not? Just help him remember you, since he's old.

Calron, I permitted Movash to give you the slip there, but if you (or anyone) wanted to catch him now, feel free to assume that he can't get away this time.

Run into a pig lol :D .

Post up. I hope you guys don't mind me complicating things a bit :buck:

Sorry if my post seems rushed (it was, I needed to finish it before my dad turned off our modem for the night) and... yeah.

@Thorgie: Maybe reminding him mightn't be such a good idea, considering how much trouble Ridgy caused at the Kann :buck:

I think that pigs should be required, by law, to wear reflective patches on their haunches.

8 posts in one day. :D  You guys are awesome.

And I believe all pigs should be required by law to wear proper cooking instructions.

It still doesn't put me with the team. The only real way to do that is to give him something to kill. Kaelan loves having something to kill.

Sorry guys, but I'm probably not going to be able to put up a post this weekend. The holidays end on Monday and I have mounds of unfinished homework. :buck: Feel free to assume that Seh went along with the party to the pillar and stayed out of the Movash thing (for now) if the story moves further.

That's sensible of you, Seh, although a shame for us. Good luck with that homework, and I look forward to your return.

Are we waiting on anyone?

Working on a post as we speak. :)

Hey! 'Teri/Kaelan here. Sorry if my post takes an NPC out of character. I intended it to be Maddy, but since Kaelan has no way of knowing names, I deliberately left it undefined. This allows it to fit another NPC; though if there isn't another NPC, and it doesn't fit any of the present NPCs, I am willing and able to alter my post as drastically as necessary, or I can cut it down to a minimum and let you, Alt, work out the NPC part.

If I'm good, carry on. Otherwise, let me know and I'll work it out as soon as my can. My computer's been being really strange. Though all the other systems connected to the wireless network are staying connected, my connection lags and lapses, making it almost impossible to stay online for anything. It feels a little like a spastic dial-up. So I do have to try multiple times to post anything, but it's worth it. Thanks for bein' patient.

Your post was fine, Kaelan. :)

Expect a PM from me very soon. :)

I'm glad you're planning to stay in the story, Kaelan!

Calron: if you're going to have your character do/say anything before Ridgy does something stupid(?), now (or sometime soon) would be a good time ;)

My post will give you guys another momernt to work out the situation before rushing to the Pillar.  I don't want to rush you if you are enjoying the moment. :)

Think I am going to skip a post and just sit in the tavern waiting for people to head for the pillar, since nobody likes the company I keep.

Doh! why did I have to befriend a dark elf  :angry:

Haha.  Yes, those pesky evil characters tend to scare away the common decent folk.  Feel free to make your precense known.  Can't befriend you if you ain't there. :)

I hope you're not feeling left out, Azalahn. I'm already looking forward to finding out how Movash will react when he eventually sees Azalahn & his companion. :)

A post shall be forthcoming from me in a while. First day back at school is quite hectic, and I need to clear my CCA stuff too. Might be a bit long, but definitely before the week's out. Possibly a short one tomorrow after school, but it's probably going to be a small filler, if so. Sorry guys. :(

Post up from me!

Edit: didn't say anything about the ferret cause in t he dark Mouse probably didn't see him and if he heard Leilani calling it would not have connected to anything he was focussed on ;)

It is OK.

Having a Dark elf as a friend is a major weakness. This group of people will most likely accept him eventually, (because we are all in a story) but as far as he knows then you are all as likely to scorn him as everyone else, or even try to kill him. 

Dark elves. Had a run in with them at the Herald a long time ago. Two of them, in fact. One was pretty tame I though he was a fairy, and the other kept trying to destroy the tavern! :lol: Ah, the good ol' times..

Anyway, Thorgas is just starting to go to the pillar. I thought I should clear that up. :)

Gurrant is gonna have such a good time with that pig.  I can see him and Thorgas just not seeing eye to eye on this one. :rolleyes:

Somehow I find that ominous. :buck:

The Herald! I think I remember that! Was he the one that tried to burn it down two chapters in a row? 'Teri was there for both of those; one of them, she was part of the management.

Nice posts, all! I will wait a little longer to give Calron time to post. After all, he seemed to be the most interested in apprehending Movash.

@Laell: Yeah, I think that was him, or someone else. Was he also the one with the guts to challenge a chyrakisth orc to a one-on-one battle? :)

I remember that one! Not the name though... :)

I'm very sorry for the late reply to the posts folks, seems like I've been holding up the RPing. Hope you can all forgive me and RL, I'm back though and post is up.

Nice to see you back, Calron.

Uff! I found that lost post a tricky one to write for me, with so much dialogue to react to. I hope I've done everyone justice!

Hey, sorry for the absence over the last few days. My computer arbitrarily decided that my wi-fi wasn't actually feeding it internet, adding insult to the injury of disconnecting every few seconds. Going to spend as much effort and time as it takes to catch back up and see where I can inject myself again, both here, the Herald, and get to work in Bardavos. Hope Kali doesn't feel like I hung her and Dek up to dry.

It is with great pleasure and pride that I announce the appointment of Fu Luft as Moderator.  He will be a great addition to the Sins Team, as his writing style is somewhat famous on the site for its consistant quality and humour.  I'm looking forward to the ideas he will bring forward to our story.

Welcome as moderator, Fu! :D

Thank you, Alt and Irid! I am grateful and proud that the creators of such an exciting new story have kindly invited me into the moderation team.

I feel I should reveal that I am not new to Sins. As some of you might have guessed, I am also playing Movash.

So anyway - keep the great posts coming!

Fu

hehe, I was wondering if that was you :D

Three guesses who I am  :rolleyes:

Three guesses? Um ....

Garth, Garth, and Garth?  :huh:

 :lol:

we have a winner! You win... moderatorship of Sins! :D

Fu! Welcome! :D

Anyway, post up. I figured it'd be awkward to have Seh insert herself so late into proceedings, so she's essentially at the pillar waiting for you guys to catch up. :) Sorry it's pretty late - first week back at school is always hectic.

Leilani here.
Sorry for the delay but I wont have time today or tomorrow so I'll be making a post on Wednesday.

Didn't Altario ask for us to wait with describing the pillar because he was going to let us know the sight?

Alt told me it was okay to put Seh there first, cause nothing is supposed to happen yet. :P I pulled the description off his first ever post.

OMG!  You gave away all my secrets. :undecided:

Just kidding.  I'll post tonight or tomorrow and get us all there. :D

In that case I didn't say anything ^.^

Hey Calron,

any chance you could post soon? A response from you would help move the story forward ... :)

Think my next post should be when we all get to the pillar

Hey Garth. Not sure if I'll be able to post over the weekend but I'll have something up by Monday at the latest.

Hey Ridgen (and everyone),

I hope I didn't overstep the mark there, IC. I'm trying to play Movash's mindsmoother strength, his supernatural empathy, but I'm discovering how to do it as I go along, so I may not always get it right. In general, if I write something like "Movash knew", this doesn't necessarily mean that he is correct. It's just a succinct way of saying: "Movash thought he knew". I would like to sometimes let him guess correctly, sometimes wrongly. I'm certainly not planning to play him as a mindreader. Anyway, if you think I've gone too far, just let me know!  :)

I haven't been online in a while: my fault, didn't actually post that I was on holiday in Malaysia. :/

In any case, just so you guys know, I'm probably going to be waiting until something happens at the Pillar before I post. As is, there really isn't anything much for Seh to do. ;)

Good posts, everyone!

Will be on vacation til after the weekend.

So, gather round the pillar.  Nothing special to see... yet. :D

Just mannaged to get a post before I am off. Hope you won't pay too much attention to a silent observer in the background for a while.

Leilani, did you want to post before I post again?

Calron, did you actually take back your signet ring or not? I left that open for now, but it would be good to settle the question.  :)

I do believe I've given that signet ring to you to show that your part of my household even though you aren't wearing the family livery.

Calron: Yes, I understand. But I offered it back (http://www.santharia.com/adv/index.php?topic=8091.msg291854#msg291854) (last paragraph). You didn't take it, then?

Manik: Welcome to the story! Atmospheric post!

Thanks Movash! Glad to be here!

Agreed.  Nice entry post, Manik. :)

Story mods, tell me if my post needs editing. I'm concerned about the magic part. ;)

Looks great to me, Thorgas. :D

As I'm not the Magic expert (meaning I have absolutely no idea how magic works), I will put it to my comods to comment.

I'm pretty sure I got that correct, Alt. :) What I mean was if my post revealed a little too much (to the point of being omniscient), let me know and I'll edit it.

I do not believe so, my friend. :)

I agree with Altario. Great post, Thorgas, and I don't see anything that needs changing.  :)

Well, I'm glad you all think so! :grin:

So Alt what would you like us to do? I had got the impression things were going to get crazy imminently so I was going to wait to post and have Manik finish getting there as things get messy. If its going to take a bit before something occurs then I will make another post to join the group.

Join the group. :)  Though, I don't promise things won't happen.

Just a small note that Garth is still waiting for Leilani... :)

I took what I thought were some vague liberties with the circumstance. If they don't fit, let me know. Also, didn't mention at least one of the specific details; but Kaelan's a warrior, not an investigator.

Looked good. :D

For the rest of the Sins gang, one of you is a murderer.  We had approached one of you to fill a specific need for us, and you thankfully accepted.  For the rest of you, feel free to slewth along with Kaelan if you will IC, but let's not admit or deny anything OOC, in order that we keep the mystery going naturally. :)

I'll be posting sometime during the weekend, if that's alright with you guys. :)

Yes, Seh, that would be great! Posts are generally very welcome in roleplaying! ;)

Hey Garth,

I think you should feel free to post. I haven't seen any of Leilani's characters (insofar as I know them) for almost a week. Maybe your character could simply assume that she hasn't heard you? Then she'll be able to pick up the story when she returns.

Perhaps after we wrap up at the Piller, Manik can be put in charge of heading up the investigation of Kret's death.  That is, if Manik isn't the killer.... Bwahahahahah.

Or, more probably, if he is. From a narrative standpoint, it stands to reason to have the individual with the greatest familiarity with the subject perform the dictation of any investigation therein. This way, all the information is known, and can be dispensed as needed from an informed source. While this statement is outside the fourth wall and obviously irrelevant to the investigation itself... that doesn't make it less true.

You assume I'm that smart. :P

Sounds good! I am sure I can RP a way to find out details without necessarily also being the creator of said details.

Also for anyone who might not have known here is a interactive and detailed map of Nyermersys:
http://www.santharia.com/maps/towns/nyermersys/frame/nyermersys_frame.htm
You can click on areas in the box on the left and it zooms in. Pretty handy!

Oh, perfect post for Gurrant to respond to. :D  I will post tonigt or tomorrow morning.

Dear players,

with Altario's most recent post, the spook begins. As you can read, the pest pillar has come alive. Rats are emerging from it in seemingly infinite numbers, and are streaming into the square. If they get to where you are, they will attack!

Feel free to decide whether you are being attacked at this point, or not. If you are attacked, feel free to describe the fight in whatever way you wish. For the moment, your opponents are just rats, nothing more - but there are many of them!

Guess Azalahn isn't attacked right away, since the great warrior was hiding behind the rest, including women and children.

Azalahn is charging, but he was like 5 seconds further away than the rest so if anyone else wants to help Gurant then he/she would be there first. 

Took a look at that map, Manik.  Very cool.  Never saw that before.  I'll add it to one of the stickied helpful threads.  Thank you. :D

Lol, seems to me that Mouse is a coward. The things you learn in dangerous situations!

Just a note; Seh is about three peds or so away from anyone else, which is how the mini circle thing comes into play. :)

And well, better coward than hanging from a pillar by way of a zombie hand. ;)

Posted. As always, if I have missed something or if my post seem to make Thorgie a bit too powerful, let me know and I will gladly change it. :)

 :D  Excellent posting, guys.  Who knew rats could be so exciting?

One thing, Seh.  Gurrant has both his hands; Tavis only has one hand. :)

Um. I totally knew that. 

/surreptitiously corrects post.   :cool:

Hmm, One question.

When Azalahn leaps up and (assuming nobody does it first) hacks at the arm grabbing the big guy. What will happen? Will it be like trying to cut a stone arm or will he slice trough it like flesh ?

He will be attacked by the swarm when he lands, and be in big trouble.

Hi Azalahn,

Good question! I will send you a PM with an answer. :)

Good posts everybody!

*Agrees with Manik*  :azn:

Hi Calron,

I was hoping you'd have time to post and react to Movash's attempts to tell you something? I'll wait until Saturday, but then I would like to post. Can't let the rats eat all  of Movash without a struggle. :)

Welcome to Sins, Ayaelia! Great opening post!

Hey Ayaelia,

Would you mind posting a link to your CD in the Sign-up thread, or (even better) including one in your signature? This would make it easier for people to find you. :)

Finally got a post up! Yay! Thankfully Claudirea has Luna, otherwise she might have been rat food by now. :lol:

Anywho, this may be my last post for awhile. Still waiting on baby girl to make her appearance (2 days over due now....) but hopefully it'll be soon. I've given Alt and Fu permission to puppet Claudirea as needed, so hopefully my disappearance won't affect the story too much.

It's been great reading everyone's posts. So exciting! Can't wait to see what's in store for us next! (Well, I kind of know, but still! :P)

Hi Fu,

I have added a link to my profile in my signature. Sorry about that! And thank you for the compliment. I have avoided mentioning anyone, because I don't want to step on any toes. Perhaps in the next post!

~Ayaelia

Warrior Kaelan here: Just a note to mods, didn't put in the NPC's response mostly because I'm not entirely certain what the answer should be.

Hi Kaelan,

yes, we're on the case. Altario is going to write a response to you. I think he was hoping to get the post up before going on his trip, but I'm not sure whether he will manage. So it might be a few more days, but you won't be forgotten. :)

Sorry for the inappropriate picture background - but you get the idea of the rat, I hope.

Azalahn, I've sent you a PM. :)

By Trum-Barol's mighty hammer, a two ped tall rat!

Thorgas stands at just one and a half peds. :buck:

Hey Azalahn,

you posted an OOC comment in Chapter I.  :shocked: Please remove it, and repost it in this thread, if you like. :) In response to your question: you can assume that the moonstar hits the target, but it won't kill the rat. Apart from that, what I said in my PM still counts.

"Well guess someone is giving me a hand with this.

Would like to know if Ayaelia's moonstar hits the target or not, or at least manages to distract the beast a bit. Then I will get a post up, hope it will be a horror to bear witness to."


Well guess I was already sleaping when I posted.  :buck:
   

I thought I'd give you all something to do while your moderators are away.  :grin:

Feel free to play the fight according to your liking and your character. If you have not yet posted in the square, but are still in the story and would like to join, feel free to take on one of the three giant rats that are as yet unaccounted for - or you could help one of your fellows ...

Ok Thorgas, I really hope you wont mind helping the friend of a dark elf or have your hands ful. If you do then I think I am in big trouble.

The first rat could have its leg cut off and be incapasitated, or it could have "iron" bones leaving it with just a nasty cut and be really mad now.

The unicorn horn is just a pomel decoration, not the real thing.

Interesting. But as you can see, Fu had released a giant rat and it's going straight to me. :shocked: Unless the rat that you are now tackling was that one?

No not the same one.

Guess this will be interesting. Now you have the rat that fu sent to you and the one Azalahn is wrestling with comming towards you, and perhaps the first one as well.

I kinda feel it would be interesting to leave it with both hindlegs attatched, and really mad. Then we can both be in trouble.  :lol: But that's up to you.

Catching a ride on one of the rats. That's just awesome  :D

Lol, what else was he supposed to do? It's not like he can fight :D

Threw a fireball at ya, Azalahn. You decide whether it hits the rat, you, or both. :evil:

Now I'm in a fix. :buck: You better move yer arse an' save me, knife ear! :lol:

Just kidding. I think Buri can manage to save me, if nobody comes to my aid first. :)

Posted. Tavis' re-entrance is the first thing I've seen since someone suggested there'd be involvement, so I sort of took it.

That's what it was there for, my fiend. :)

Just to clarify - the rat attacking Movash is not the same as the one that went for Calron ...

There's a newcomer in the square.  Please don't attack him (yet) - you should have enough to do with the rats still. But if you happen to get close, you'll feel that the air around him is scaldingly hot.

EDIT: Great posts everyone, by the way!

Got the rat off you Thorgas. You decide if it is dead or just wounded and mad.

I do hope I haven't taken too many liberties with my post. Do tell me if I have, and I'll change it right quick. :D

Perfectly fine, Seh, as far as I am concerned.

I'm enjoying reading everyone's battle exploits, and am impressed by the variety of fighting styles you're all describing.

Do we decide what happens with the giant rats or do the mods?

You may dispose of the giant rats in a manner of your choosing.

My apologies to you all.  I've been reading with interest and quite enjoying your posts.  I've tried to write a post, but I'm down with the flu and creativity is even harder than usual to squeeze out of me (certainly currently harder than squeezing phlegm nd mucus from me :buck:).  When the fever breaks and the head clears, I will get a Gurrant post up.

Movash,

I took the liberty of getting that rat off you (admittedly in much more detail than is necessary), but if you had something else planned, or if I missed something, please tell me and I'll change/remove the post accordingly.

Rid.

Perfectly fine, Ridgen. Nice post! I'll try to respond on the weekend. :)

 Hope you're better soon, Alt!

Feeling better now.  Will get a Gurrant post this weekend.  Hopefully tonight. :D

Congratulations, Sins players!

Thirteen giant rats marched into the square, and between you, you have already dealt with eight of them.

However, five rats are still at large. Three are approaching the group of guards around Manik, one is attacking Claudirea, and the last rat's position is not clear.

Manik and Claudirea - if you cannot post within the next few days, the moderators will have to puppet your characters (gently) to continue with the story.

Kaelan, if you wanted to make your way to the square, feel free to take on the last rat, who isn't currently facing anyone else.

I know I just got Roy involved in an Adventure in black. But do you mind if Roy joins you on this adventure.

Fu Luft, if I may have until the end of the weekend, I can dispose of the rat whose position is unclear--and if Claudirea doesn't mind, I can dispose of hers as well. Please let me know if this is all right!

sorry for my lack of action. travelling got crazy. i have planned out my post, i am hoping to write my post on the bus and get it up at the next hostel. If i dont, or i am being too slow, i understand if you puppet my character. Thanks!

Ayaelia: yes please, feel free to engage with those rats. I think it's unlikely that Claudirea will be able to post in the near future, as she's just given birth to her first daughter. Please refrain from puppeting her character, though. :)

Manik: I can understand that posting is difficult when you're travelling. Hope you're having a great trip! I will give you until Saturday - then I may need to post to keep the story moving. If that happens, I will try to avoid puppeting your character as much as possible. And of course you would remain in the story and be free to post when your circumstances allow. Anyway, I hope you'll have a chance to post! :)

Roy: Aha, another fire mage! Interesting - thanks for writing in! :D Involvement in Adventure in Black is no obstacle to involvement here, as long as you are sure that you have enough time to commit to two stories. Let me consult with my fellow moderators before giving you a decision. I joined the moderation team late, and have not been involved in the early story development, so I don't want to make a decision on my own. :) Shouldn't be long before you hear from us!

Ah thank you very much Fu.

Roy, I am happy to announce that you are welcome to join Sins! Before you post IC, please make sure to read all of Chapter One up to now, to acquaint yourself with the plot, the characters, and the atmosphere. Please also have a look of the CDs of the characters that are playing here, and read the Rules for Sins.

Finally, may I ask you to put a link to your own CD in your signature - or post a link in the Player Signup Thread? This makes it easier for the other players to find you.

You are free to join the story either in the tavern - you may want to find a reason to speak to Kaelan, for example, who is currently still there - or on the central square by Nyermersys' infamous pest pillar, where a demonic battle is in full swing.

Rules for Engagement with the Demon

Feel free to attack the demon, if you dare. It is not invincible. However, please adhere to the following rules:

- If you get closer than two peds to the demon's body, you will feel distinctly hot, in fact: close to unbearably hot (unless you can magically counteract the effect of the demon's heat).
- If you hit the demon with any weapon, but particularly with a metal one, your blade will feel as if it's on fire, and you will probably need to drop it (at least temporarily).
- You may (attempt to) hit the demon anywhere you like, in principle, but the moderators decide what damage the demon gets. Think of it like a battle between two player characters.

Have fun!

Claudirea here.

Ayaelia: Feel free to dispose of my rat. I keep trying to get a post up, but Lucy doesn't like it when I'm on the computer for very long. lol. Only thing I would say is just keep in mind that Luna, Claudirea's wolf companion, would probably be trying to protect her friend. I don't mind a bit of minor puppeting of Luna if necessary.

Hopefully I can rejoin the adventure sometime in the near future. :)

I shall do this thank you very much.

Though do you want me to put a link to my CD in a post on this thread. Or if you just want the directions to find it then you can go to my profile and under Website you will find "Roy's CD" which should lead you to it.

If you could put a link to it in this thread, it makes it a lot easier for people to find it.

Sure I will do that. Though patheticaly enough I  do not know how. Would you mind giving me the information.

My post is up. I tried to avoid playing anyone's characters or companions: I don't want to unintentionally overstep any boundaries. Please let me know if anything looks amiss, or if I should change or alter anything--I am more than happy to.

Thank you!

I apologise for not giving a link to my character sheet before posting but I do not know how to create one. I am also sure that you do not wish me to post my entire character.

Also with my post if there is anything that needs to be changed, I can change it.

EDIT: Woohoo! I got it never mind.

Another EDIT: I must also give credit to Blind Guardian for the song Roy was singing. It was primarily based of a much better version of what he sang.

Ayaelia: All fine, as far as I can see. I like the "cloak of spun milk" especially.  :)

Roy: Welcome to Sins IC! I would indeed like to ask you to change your post. There are two reasons:

(1) The demon is a major NPC character, and is played by the moderators. You should not puppet the demon. So everything where you describe actions or reactions of the demon should not be in your post. In general, players should assume that NPCs are controlled by mods exclusively, unless license to use them is given.

With the rats, for example, I explicitly asked the players to use them in fights as they wanted. The same does not go for the demon.

(2) Your post is too "long", not in the sense of containing too many words, but in the sense of covering a lot of in-play time during which other characters (and specifically the demon, in this case) should have had time to react. How do you know what happens to this sort of demon when you throw sulphur at it, for example? You don't. So if you do throw the sulphur, you need to give the player or mod who plays the demon the chance to describe what happens next. You have done well to refrain from describing the effect of the sulphur yourself, but your subsequent text implicitly closes down the possibilities. (For example, imagine that the sulphur causes the demon to explode: then you wouldn't have anything to hit at with your staff ...) Some of the art of roleplaying is about knowing when to end a post ... :)

I would like to ask you to do the following: Retain your post up until: "... threw the sulphur into the face of the demon.", and stop there. That is, remove all the text thereafter. If you save the removed text in a word processor on your computer, you may still find a place for some of it in a later post, so your ideas don't need to be lost.

Don't worry, play-by-post roleplaying takes a bit of getting used to in the beginning. I saw from your CD creation process that you are open, polite and friendly, and ready to react to comments, so I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon! :)

PS: Your character seems to assume that he's encountered a Mephguour demon. Well, I know I used the picture, and some of the Mephguour's properties, but please be aware that roleplaying stories are not obliged to obey the details of compendium entries. So be prepared for demonic surprises.  :azn:

PPS: You may notice that some other player posts have also covered a lot of in-play time - Ayaelia's last one is a good example. I hope you don't feel that I am being unfair to you in asking you to shorten your post. The difference between your post and Ayaelia's here is that Ayaelia did not close down action possibilities of other characters, except those of Claudirea, whose player however is absent and gave permission to puppet. Also, Ayaelia actually discussed her plans with us OOC before posting IC, as you may have noticed.

There were a lot of OOC posts since I first posted the

Rules for Engagement with the Demon,

so I am repeating them here, with a little addition.

Feel free to attack the demon, if you dare. It is not invincible. However, please adhere to the following rules:

- The demon is a major NPC character, is central to the story, and should not be puppeted by players even in the smallest way.
- If you get closer than two peds to the demon's body, you will feel distinctly hot, in fact: close to unbearably hot (unless you can magically counteract the effect of the demon's heat).
- If you hit the demon with any weapon, but particularly with a metal one, your blade will feel as if it's on fire, and you will probably need to drop it (at least temporarily).
- You may (attempt to) hit the demon anywhere you like, in principle, but the moderators decide what damage the demon gets. Think of it like a battle between two player characters.

Have fun!

Roy, would you mind using a different colour for speech? The bordeaux you used doesn't have that big a contrast with the grey background so it's quite hard to read :)

Also, it might be a good idea for you to take a look at the Roleplaying Tutorial (http://www.santharia.com/adv/index.php?board=19.0)? It could help you to know what exactly puppeting is and why it's a good idea to avoid it.

And thirdly, if you want to have the link in your signature to show Roy's name (like many others do) you can use this code:

I hope it's ok if I assumed the demon was too preoccupied with the people fighting him to pay attention to one small guy running away from him...

Sure no problem I will do all of this. Also if any persons post was affected by mine I apologise.
 
And thank you Irid I will do this.

I hope this was better and that I did not controll anything I was not supposed to.

Thanks for changing your post, Roy. I see nothing untoward in the new version.  :thumbup:

You could have just edited the post you already made, by the way, rather than deleting that and posting anew - but since only Garth has posted in between, and there was no interaction between you, it's all right as it is! :)

Thank ya much Fu. Though my first post was more of a test post than anything so I did not mind redoing it.

Yep, perfectly all right!

Awesome posts, everyone :)

Mine is up. I do hope it's alright that I assumed that there were still some normal rats up and about.

Thank you, Fu!  :)  I'm glad it meets with your approval.


And I almost forgot: Congratulations, Kareesh/Claudirea!  :clap: I hope both you and your precious gift are doing well.  :)


Ridgen, I fear my post may have been too esoteric.  :blush: My character killed one of the giant rats approaching you, Calron, and Movash, and is now standing before the group, stilled by the presence of your character (for the second time). If you would prefer Ridgen not to notice her, that's perfectly OK!--just let me know and I'll whisk her off.

Ah! I am so sorry for not noticing that :buck: I'll fix it up right away.

No worries, Ridgen! My posts get a bit prolix and overly metaphorical sometimes.  :buck:  Let me know if I'm going overboard and I can tone it down a bit: it's really no problem!

Roy, you are faced by a magical being that we may call, say, a fire fiend. Feel free to interact with it as you see fit. That is, you may 'puppet' the fire fiend. Just be aware that a fire fiend hasn't got a body other than the flames of which it consists. So a sword or staff would not be very effective against it. Also, please don't make the fight look too easy. Assume that you'll need some time to deal with the fiend - so that other players get the chance to have a go at the demon. :)

Have fun!

Somebody attack/amuse/seduce the walking grill so Thorgas can attempt to send it back to whence it came from. Make sure it's something good. :azn:

Don't worry, this attempt was moderator-approved. I just need some kind of distraction since spells will take some time to cast and I need somebody to throw themselves in the way if the demon decides to attack the dwarf. :grin:

Thorgos if my ridiculas spell is allowed by the mods. Then consider those few minutes yours.

fI'd love to revive Seh from her paralysis, but I think I'm going to have to stay out of this fight for a while. I'm quite ill (stupid bug going around) and I don't think I'll be able to muster up any sort of creativity to post this weekend. I'll probably get a post up sometime next week. Just so you guys know, yeah.

EDIT: I'M SICK, IGNORE ME. D:

It would be a great honor if Alrick could join. Is there something I should do to prepare, if everyone agrees that I can join of course?

Also, my CD is in my signature!

I believe the fire feind to be the creature made of sulpher. I apologise if I got it wrong.

*facepalm*

Completely my bad, I'm sorry. I blame the fever. >.>

I think Roy was granted permission to puppet that fire spirit. :) And I think it's umm.. Made out of fire.


Just remember what Fu said -- Don't make it look too easy! :grin: A bit of sizzling action can and will make a story interesting. Thorgas would often scream like a teenage girl in a Bieber concert whenever some unnatural demon begins cracking its knuckles. It's fun and a good practice for singing!

 :lol: thats funny. And also don't worry about it I am recently getting over strep and I understand how badly it sucks.

Also if I made it seem to easy I can make Roy completly knocked out.

EDIT: I should probably explain my spell. While this probably would not work. Roy basicaly used this creature as a fire. Seeing as how it's alive but made out of fire I was thinking it would be possible to manipulate it but at a cost.

Also the ball that was described is not an actual ball. It was just a spot that Roy was concentrating on.

Gosh, you guys are all so productive. Keep up the good work, people :)

I think I'll wait for Movash's post before I post.

Seh: Sorry to hear you're not well. Get better soon!

Thorgas: Nice post! I am hoping that Azalahn will make an appearance and be able to post soon.

Roy: Yes, your post was perfectly fine. I liked how you played the fiend as a strong opponent, and as a real challenge for your character. - Since I might not have time for Santharia for the next few days, let me say the following: Please keep away from the demon for now: either draw out the fight with the fire fiend a bit longer, or simply wait (with posting). We've got a bit of a plotline going that was discussed behind the scenes, and can't have two fire mages facing the demon at once at this point. :)

Ridgen: Thanks for being considerate of Movash. Unfortunately, I'll be extremely busy the next few days, so I'm not sure Movash will be able to post before Wednesday. Sorry!



For information: Concerning Alrick's joining request, Altario and Alrick are in a PM conversation about this.

Sure Fu I can do this.

I apolofise if i'm giving the creature a non existant weakness. I also might be overdoing Roy's power a bit but all can be changed and I plan on having Roy go unconcious or become incapacitated when or a little after he defeats the demon.

Hi Roy,

nice posting. Good to see that you're enthusiastic.

Please hold your horses for a few days, though, and give other players time to post. So, to be clear: don't post again before several others have posted. We need to make sure that all players have the chance to participate, and acknowledge that not everyone is able to post three times in two days. :)

Sure no problem.

I would like to announce that Irid will be joining the Sins Mod Team.  We are very lucky to have Irid join us and I'm sure she will do an outstanding job in helping to make this story an enjoyable venture for all. :D

Thank you, Alt. I hope I can live up to the expectations of my comods :)

I got some writing done on the bus today. Certainly not my best, and doing the events from memory. I wasnt able to get all the rats disposed of. I will try to find time to post, but times are still busy busy, so if anyone wants to dispose of my last rat feel free.
Guards are getting it rough this fight!

You did well, Manik! Thanks for taking the time during your holidays. :)

An official welcome to Irid al'Menie from me, as well. I am proud to be in a moderation team with one of the longest-standing and most experienced members of the RPG board around today - and an outstanding storyteller, too.

I believe my fever has subsided, but I'm also a little bit busier this week. No worries though, I'll have a post up by this weekend. ^^

Good to hear that you're better, Seh. Take it easy. I'll be looking forward to your post.

I've permitted Movash to send Manik in the direction of Ridgen, Ayaelia, and Calron. Feel free to have fun with the last giant rat standing!

To err is to be human ... or demonic ...  :rolleyes:

*shudders at own post*

My muse is running at 5% today.

Naw its fine. Sometimes you just need to keep things rolling.

No, Kaelan doesn't have a clue what's going on.

:)


Azalahn, do you want to react to the demon and Thorgas - or would you prefer me to first reveal what Thorgas' spell does? Up to you!

Trying to pull you back in, Seh.  We're like the mafia in the Godfather, we just keep pulling you back in. :D

Well Azalahn reacted before he could see the effect of the spell. Hope it is something good cause I am getting my a... kicked here.

Haha! Great post, Azalahn. I hope I'll find time to post for the demon tomorrow. :)

Hey Fu. Tell me if the fire feind cannot be destroyed that way and I will change it.

Perfectly fine, Roy! And thanks for being patient and waiting before posting.

No problem.

Hello everyone! 

Thought I'd pop in and say "Hi" since I will be one of the new folks joining you in chapter two.  I've very excited! 

My CD is in my sig if you would like to take a look, but a brief rundown is as follows:

Genius but slightly mad gnomish geologist/inventor who also dabbles in alchemy.  Obsessive to a fault.  He's annoying, likes to find that 'line you shouldn't cross' and then take a running jump over it.

Oh, and he loves explosives!

I'm in the process of reading up on Chapter I, as well as all of your CD's.  Marvelous stuff!

Welcome, Tak! :D

Azalahn & Thorgas: My apologies, but I'm out of energy tonight after a long day and am not creative enough to manage a post. I promise to post by Thursday!

No problem. It's nice to have a break every now and then. ;)

It's fascinating to read everyone's posts. I'll add my own on the weekend, if not before!

(Claps for Fu's post)

I have no excuse, guys. I've just been hard pressed to actually write anything recently - RL issues. School issues. People issues, whatever. But I promise, I will try to get something coherent up, hopefully by mid-week. If that's too long, puppet Seh at will. Sin is a great story; I'd hate to drag it down.

Sorry to hear that life isn't going all that well, Seh.  :heart:  Take it easy.

If one of the able fighters on pest pillar square would like to save Humbaba from the giant rat, I know a little boy who would be very much obliged indeed! Feel free to decide what happened to the pair of fighting animals during and after the shock wave. (But no puppeting of Humbaba, please!)

I would like to volunteer, Movash. I assume it is all right to kill the giant rodent?

Yep!

Dang two fire mages down against one creature.

Yeah, what's the matter with these fire mages nowadays - they've gone all soft!  :rolleyes:

I posted. Might be a little short - considering the events that had transpired since my last post, but I tried to encompass everything in. :)

Well Thorgas was out of shape. I mean he's really out of shape. :lol: Oh wait a second. Round is a shape, right?

Sorry for my absense, where i am now the internet is so aweful that a lot of time i cant even run the santharian website. I will try to write something soon to catch me up and hopefully a little more. Ciao!

Posted. Just silly Ridgen scolding some sillier people.

EDIT: Now he can add "sewing someone's scalp back together after a very disturbing supernatural incident" to his list of achievements.

Great posts, everyone!

Manik, thank you for letting us know about your situation. In the last few weeks, the Santharian website underwent a server host change (http://www.santharia.com/dev/index.php/topic,15235.msg194902.html#msg194902), and as a by-product, server response was slower than usual for several days last week (http://www.santharia.com/dev/index.php/topic,15250.msg195059.html#msg195059). This may have been part of the reason for your difficulties in getting The Santharian Dream to run. It looks as though server response times have now improved, so you may find posting easier now.

Sorry for the short post, just cant seem to find any creativity these days.

I as well should apalogise for my post as it was rather useless. Truthfuly I was just kind of bored slash hopeing to not get left in the streets till dawn and die of the freezing cold.

No the last part was a joke but I do apologise for the uselessness.

No IC posts are useless, and a short post is better than no post! Thanks for keeping the momentum going, my friends!

Hey Sins players,

if your characters could make their way to within earshot of Gurrant, that would be useful. His tale will have a most important bearing on the plot of this story, and we would like everyone to hear it.

Hmm Roy is a little out of it at the moment but if someone were to carry him or something like that to the spot he could snap awake again.

Hum, very short post, but at least Mouse can now hear what Gurrant has to say.

Sorry Roy, but Mouse is too small to carry you :)

Bah thats fine I'm sure I could hear from where ever I am taken to. :thumbup:

I'm sorry, but I will be unable to post between now and Monday, due to internet problems and general problems at home. Feel free to pupper Ridgen as you wish.

Movash can't carry Roy anywhere, either. But maybe his master can help? Calron, were you planning on posting soonish? :)

I'llhave a post up sometime by the weekend. A short one though, I'll be really busy throughout the next two weeks.

I should have a post up sometime today, just need to get some studying in and then I should be good to go.

If you do wish to carry or drag Roy over to the dwarf that would be great you should know that Roy is not very heavy at the moment especially for a warrior.

I believe Ayaelia is close enough to hear what the large man has to say, though I can post such, if need be!

Great posts, everyone!

Just wanted to mention I was going to leave it up to you mods what the situation with Redrik is. Dead or Alive. Alive if possible. Dead is just as good. Hehe, no seriously i dont care. But Manik is definitely going to have to send someone to the garrison, either another guard from his squad who comes along, or another character.

Hey also if anyone wants to at some point in the future let Manik know about the guard who got barbequed by the fire demon that would be swell! (He didnt see it happen)

Hey Manik,

since you prefer Redrik alive, let's just say he survived. (Makes me  feel better, too. :) )

We have a "one character per player" policy in this story, so you can't take Redrik into Chapter 2. (This would, in a sense, make him a player character in his own right.) But as far as I understand, that's not your intention anyway. So for the remainder of Chapter 1, feel free to just play him as your own (minor) NPC.

 If you want to question Roy he could tell you about the guard.

To keep things moving, let's all post an agreement to follow Gurrant.  Then we can start Chapter 2.

Those who wish to, can keep posting in Chapter 1 in order to RP the aftermath and preperations for the journey if they wish.  For example, Manik taking care of Redrik.

Look forward to bringing you along the journey to Caeltakker's Keep. :)

I posted. And I'll be posting more regularly from now on, my exams are over for now. ^^

 :D  Woohoo.  Thats good for all of us, Seh.  Here's hoping you did well on them.


So.... why is everyone so hard on poor Gurrant? :P  He had half his scalp pulled off.  Tough crowd.

Are we going to start the journey immediately, or in the morning?

I'm going to post and assume it's in the morning. If not then I'll edit it. :)

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I may be able to make a post later today. (I know I've been involving myself with the putting together of the chronicle and the contest and such, but that's [regrettably] much higher on the priority list than sins is and AAIB; regrettably, though, I've had fairly minimal activity in those things, too)

If I don't post by the end of today, feel free to puppet Ridgen again. If possible, please leave him inside the story until mid-years are over. Thank you.

In the morning, my friend. No need to edit. :)

Ok Fu. :)

I will not be able to post for a few days. Going on vacation.

Don't mean to be a killjoy, but my post does not end in my character agreeing to follow Gurrant...

I was actually wondering if we could go to the next day and then I could have Calron join the team?

I saw, Teri.  What must we do to change Kalen's mind? :D

Dunnuh. Oughta try sumfin'... just can't think of anything off the bat. I mean, it isn't like he wouldn't, given some kind of a reason to participate, but at the moment, it's easier to not.

Hi Calron,

it's up to you how you join. But we would like to avoid dragging out the roleplay of the next morning. There's plenty of action to be had on the way, and we'd rather jump forward in time a bit than play every detail of the departure.

Alright, I guess I'll have a post up then.

Do you think I should post in the morning or no?

Roy, the morning will happen in the next chapter, so perhaps you can just give a sign of life to Movash so that all of you can get to the tavern and get some sleep (or wake up from unconsciousness in your case). Chapter two will be starting soon!

Sure no problem.

hey ill get a post up hopefully tomorrow or the next day so we can get this thing along.

For the first time in forever, a post for you guys. I liked reading your posts, everyone, it was most enjoyable! Keep up your good work!

Ok guys, chapter 2 has started! Our new joiners are welcome to post as discussed in PM, I would like to ask the adventurers to wait for a Gurrant post, and then you're free to post to your heart's delight!

Anyone who wants to wrap up things in chapter I, feel free to do so.

Oh, poor Tak!  Bludgeoned and betrayed by a brash and brazen bandit!  Apparently that knock to the head has made me alliterate as well.  Hello everyone!

Hi Tak~

No worries, I believe you'll be meeting us soon? And then we can get you out of the bandits' evil grasp. :D

Sorry guys the rigors of travel took all my time from posting and now i am going trekking for 3 days so i wont be able to post until sunday. Sorry again, chau!

That's all right, Manik. Thanks for letting us know.

Congrats all for hitting the 500 post mark. :)

Sorry for making up more NPCs, it was easier this way for Manik to stay true to his character and for things to unfold more quickly. I already know how i will post in chapter two in which none of the NPCs will be included, just Manik. That post will also include the rest of what happens to Manik this night.

Ok so lets kick chapter two into high gear! Woot!  :thumbup:

Ok so I am finally home from all my travels so i should be able to post very frequently now! Especially since i dont have a job at the moment, hehe. So it is my understanding we are supposed to wait for Gurrant to post in chapter 2 and then follow suit, correct?

Correct.  I'm woking on one, but its fighting me, I'm afraid.  My apologies all around. :undecided:

Dear fellow Sinners,

I am said to write this, but I'm afraid I have to withdraw from this story, both as a moderator and as a player (with Movash). I have informed the moderators a few days ago. The reason for my decision is that my life has taken an unforeseen turn. When I joined the story, I was just about to change from a full-time to a part-time job, and was looking forward to having a less busy life and to more Santharia time. As it turned out, this spring I got a freelancing opportunity, which is promising to be great fun, as well as paying well, but which will demand a lot of my time. Hence, and unfortunately, my Santharia time is going to be severely reduced. I won't be able to keep up with the demands of moderating a story, nor with posting IC in three stories.

I hope I will have a chance to write a "farewell" post with Movash in Chapter 2. However, I am going to be away from now until 20 July or so. When I'm back, I'll see how far Chapter 2 will have progressed, and whether it will still make sense for me to tell how this story ended for Movash.

Thanks to everyone for making this such an enjoyable story for me. It was great fun for me to write here, and to read everyone's posts. Good luck on your quest to get to the bottom of the mysteries of Nyermersys!

Sincerely,

Fu

PS: I will try and stay in the other stories I'm involved in, which are currently slow-moving, and to which I have developed a deep attachment that has grown over three years.

As spoken in private, we will miss you greatly, Fu.  Your help was invaluable.  We await your return and hope that you can rejoin at some future point.


Finally got an IC post up.  Take it for what it is.  Had a complete mind blank.  I pushed us out about four days from Nyermersys, as it was deemed not important to stick around and roleplay our leaving.  Wanted to keep the plot moving.  For those who want to keep posting Chapter One, feel free to clean up there and prepare for the trip.  I'll respond to your posts there if you need me to. :D

Should we pst as if we  are in Gurrant's group?Also do we all get horses?

Yes.  Anyone who followed.  I made it 4 days so that it assumes we are traveling only as fast as those on foot, as I realize not all of the characters have horses.

k thank you.

Thank you for posting, Roy. :D  However, can I implore you to run your post through a spell checker and to go over it an extra time?  There are quite a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes that make it hard to read.  I know the site spell-check is not working, but posting it on Word or another such program should catch most of them.  Thank you in advance. :)

Yes absolutely that was terrible. I was posting on a mobile phone and I'm not very good at it as I just demonstrated.

Secondly I enlarged my post now that I am on a proper computer.

Ridgen I don't know if you know anything about sowing in real life but I most certainly do not. Nor does Roy. So if this seems like something that just doesn't make sense then could you please tell Roy so that he knows?

The bag has lets say 15 sans in it. I do not know how much a san is worth but if its not enough could you please request for more money from Roy?

Also I feel the need to apologise extremely to you Ridgen. I deffidently don't want to sound like I am trying to puppet you and I deffidently don't want to actually puppet you. But I am positive I sound like I am. Please ignore me if you see fit. 

It's okay, Roy. I should be able to get a proper post up by... say, Friday.

My post was horrible. But yeah, I want to keep the story alive! My next post will be better, promise. :pet:

EDIT: also, I took Oblivion from Twilight. (http://www.santharia.com/adv/index.php?topic=3169.msg89159#msg89159) I hope that's okay.

As I have Altario following a single timeline, I adjust possessions, knowledge etc from one story to the next, so I'm ok with it. :)

Oh, and Gurrant isn't little. He's kinda on the bigger, most of it fat, side.  Which reminds me that I should post his vitals in the NPC thread, or create a CD. :rolleyes:

And your post was fine, Seh.  Thank you for posting and keeping it going.  I'll have to post a response.  I'm already stirring some grumpy retorts. :P

Seh: for a moment I thought you meant this Twilight  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_%28series%29)and I was going to make a sparkling vampire joke.
