Wohoo!


Well, I'm bored...  entertain me!

 

Shaint!  Great threat to Radaroc!  

Ya i know    i have to practically jump to see his face and i'm threatening him LOL

now lets see you try to follow me

Gar, you're trying to get away from a ranger how are you *remembers Gararion is a wind mage* oh... you can just cover your tracks.

DAMNIT!  

yep that is what the wind is doing behind me.  But now I am flying so there are no tracks to begin with.  

Well, I'm waiting for Raoneth to finish (or start as the case may be) gluing Keelin back together. So... yeah...

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

 

He a little guy doing a big job.  It takes time

Hey I envy Raoneth.  Putting back a woman, in all the right places.

Shaint you are not jealous?

Just having some fun Keelin.  Please do not kill me, at least not yet.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

 

No he's plenty Jealous but because Raoneth has been his friend for such a long time and he is really only fixing her wound  

but thats bare skin he's touching

looks around for Keelin then seems to dissappear from sight.

well friends share in fun dont they ..... *looks around for Keelin *.......  *RUNS AWAY*

Like I said before, elves aren't Rao's style. Too tall and too wierd.

*looks at Shaint*



Keelin, I'm acually waiting for you to reply...

("Ah, do you have a piece of cloth or anything to spare, er, or even better, some bandages?" )

Don't you just hate when that happens?

Gararion coming home to save you all

No longer fear the death that Shaint has brought upon you  

 

Keelin, question, what are you wearing underneath your shirt? Curious minds want to know?  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

I never thougt about that... Well... I guessing she isn't wearing anything under her shirt. ^.^ ;

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Why you ask that.  

Now I wonder whats goig to happen now with that released

Like I said before I am happy Gararion gave up love  

Guess who is baaaaaack :)
*winces*
OUch... maniac laughter is out of the picture for the moment.
Happy to see you all ;)

O_o Raoneth Get away! MY TURN MY TURN!!.....  

Oh dear... *hides* Shaint, you aren't particlarly good at "subtle", are you? *sighs and shakes head* Men.  

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

You seem to have taken a authoritive leadership role now it seems

erk sorry for not posting in for a while... I'm still here... II'll make a post in the next couple of days I promise.

Ok how about everyone goes to sleep and then its morning, unless someone has a prophetic dream.  

Keelin   Men are from Mars, remember and boys who are becoming men, like Shaint, are even more so.

I just thought I would stir up something.  Besides Raoneth said he was bored.

Luci, How are you?  Glad you are back.  I hope everything went well with the surgery, whatever it was.  

Good rping guys and gals.  We really should get another female in with Shaint's group, otherwise poor Keelin will get lonely.   Or at the very least overwhelmed with males swarming all over her like bees to honey.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

*attenas bob* "do they make me look that bad oscar??" lol Gararion Shaints just having a tough time in his life right now, this hasnt haoppend to him on Santharia for about a year lol.

Yeah... everything went well, I am still a bit tired and the stitches will stay for atleast two more weeks...oh..and I will be eating mush for two months.
But yeah... I am quite alright.

You have to eat mush? That doesn't sound like fun...

Lonely? Nah... It's be more like, "Will everyone please go away for a minute?!"

And believe me, I know where boys come from... I have a brother.

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

'Case you haven't noticed, Bobbo is an extremely skilled weaver of the truth to hide a certain thing.

Thought I might tell you guys that. I am enjoying playing at words with this "Malok" fellow. No one can match the power of words of ROBERT JUNAKIN!!!      Ha ha ha!

Bobbo I am glad you are enjoying this reparte, however be careful Malok is leading you right into a trap.

Luci, why do you have to eat mush.  If you do not mind me asking, what kind of surgery did you have?  Oral surgery? If it is none of my buisness, just say so and that will be the last of that.   BTW I am glad you are back I could never speak for you as you do.  I even think Issrah is thinking she has met a formidable foe.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

I don't mind at all Oscar.
The thing is that I had so many and so extensive ulcers in my stomach that they had to remove 3/4 of it, so now I got a tiny tiny stomach.....since they don't want it to get plugged or anything I have to eat mush the first months while the seams heal.  

I hope you have understood Lucirina's little plan Oscar, to make Issrah attack her so she can scream for help, averting Malok's  attention from Oscar and Bobbo. My little elf is a bit of a kamikaze when it comes to people she care for.

Edited by: Lucirina Telor Vevan at: 1/21/03 9:05:35 pm

Raoneth  Just to let you know I am in the tent by myself....as far as I have understood so far.

Everyone else is sleeping outoutside under the star light.

mumble....grumble....No one volunteered for 2nd watch...grumble

Gararion will wake up soon and relieve you, at least that was what I was planning on doing.  Elves don't need much sleep  

Luci- What a weight loss program.  Really seriously, I hope you feel better and that those ulcers do not come back.  

And no, I was hoping that you would understand the escalation between the two women.  I just love the drama, and especially the animosity between these two.  It has become so good that I am rethinking about the death of Issrah, Oh, you will be able to kill her, but not as quick as I had been planning.  I was thinking you would kill her during the escape.  But I think just wounding her, would be better and then the motivation for yours, Bobbo's and the rest would not only be by Malok, but by Issrah too, to avenge her wounding and pride.

Bobbo your reparte between Malok and yourself is going to another motivation for Malok to get to you once we escape.  I am thinking that once you are put on the wall.  Several things are going to happen during the night.  If you both just follow my lead, I think you will see where I am heading and then can post appropriately.

Shaint and the others.  Good job, but more interaction between you all.  Sit down and talk amongst yourselves.  Get to know each other, your histories, your motivations, ect.  That way when the next test comes in Strata you will have more in common.  If Shaint and Keelin, with both of your permissions of course, do start a budding romantic relationship, that is all well and good.  It could give me some thing to think about when you meet the King of Thieves in Strata, who plays both sides of the coin, if you get my meaning.

Of course if no romantic inclinations are in the works,but just a deep friendship that works as well.  In fact I want you all to develop deep friendships.  That way when one of you gets captured or is hurt then your motivation is that much more intense then just money, however if one or more of your characters are motivated be just money, that could be a nice plot twist as the story goes on.  I will continue reading the posts and see if I get an inkling of who that character(s) may be if any.

I hope this is not too much for all of you to digest.  If it is becoming too complicated then tell me and I will adjust the plot line(s) of the story.

Thanks.

Edited by: Oscar Lotus at: 1/22/03 6:17:53 pm

Oscar that sounds good but the problem with my Gararion character is he tends to try not to form deep relationships.  This started after the death of his wife.  Ever since that event he has vowed to never love again.  Also with that came the feeling that he didn't want to deep of ties in the world as they might come back later in his life and nip him in the behind.

I understand Gararion, but sometime sooner or later, we must learn to trust again, albiet it may be hard and slow, it still must come otherwise lonely men and women we become.  As the saying goes.  "Tis better to love and have lost, than never to have loved at all."

Bobbo- Your post helped me to think of this twist in the plot.  Not that you are a traitor, but that they think you are.  You could use it to your advantage or not.  That is up to you.  I will follow your lead in that area.  But it is nice, is it not? The plot twist I mean?

Luci- Well here is your chance to scream and even give Issrah a little taste of your fury.  Issrah is not using magic, she is so furious she is not thinking straight.

Oscar Lotus

Edited by: Oscar Lotus at: 1/22/03 7:17:14 pm

Heh, actually, except Shaint. Gararion is the guy Raoneth is most familiar with here.

He is the only one except Shaint Raoneth knows the name of.

We should have some sort of a campfire talk. But I think everyone's too tired for that right now...

hehe Shaint and flames that could get freaky hmm if radaroc gives me 2nd watch i'll make a fire ^_^ right over there by this huge ole rock that Radaroc blends in with lol

Ummm..*raises hand* how do we get me into Strata?

Uh... we sick a sheet over your head and pretend you're a statue? We catapault you over the wall? Er... I dunno.

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

EASY!! grab youre axe and get that killing gleem.....then we burst in through the gate and kill anyone who attacks us  

Wrong, Shaint.  You are not about to storm the walls of Strata.  All different types of races are allowed in Strata as long as they pay the guards enough.  However remember Troas and his spies are looking for a company with a Troll as one of their members.  So maybe you could figure out a way to disguise him.  It is you dilema, test, you have to figure it out.  Just use your imagination and not have magic do all the work for you.  You know magic does have its limitations.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

So Oscar I can't do what I had planned then for you don't want magic to do all the work.  Thats okay

I honestly appreaciate it, it will get the minds of others to work and solve some of the problems....instead of pour Gararion coming to their rescue time after time  

 I was only kidding well we can think something i meen how hard can it be he is only...what? 3..maybe 4 peds tall  

"Enjoying the f"? What?

Now, can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture? Yep, that's right. Everyone but Keelin seems to know about Shaint's feelings. And I'll just bet that no one's going to bother to tell her. They'll all act annoyingly superior and smile knowingly and confuse her.

Dun worry, I ain't really mad at y'all.

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Edited by: KeelinElf at: 1/24/03 1:11:31 am

Oh Bob... you just admited you knew me from before, and Lucirina had stated that she didn't know you at all.... starting to stumble over yout own words

We burrow in here ! *points at large topographical map streched out on a table*  Anyone have an insanly large mole?  Some sort of burrowing bear perhaps?  Go in all stealthy knock out the guards and travel by sewer.  Contact that master thief guy outside the walls he might know a way in.  But I'll admit Shaints plan has merit.   *Whew* thats my brainstorm session for today.

"...Fire" sorry lol not F,

 I just want some action i wan anock some heads and slit some throats!  

Erm... Except different types of siege equipment, or maybe a tent... I can't think of any way of making a troll look like it's not a troll.

Wait, we could stick wings on it and call it a new species!

Ya he's a Winglie...WAIT A SECOND Raoneth you kno wthat could possibly happen....we need some though an dthen Gararion can use shape smoke and make him some wings  

Wings!??!  
*evil giggles* heheheheheheHEHEHEHEHHEHE, WINGS!?!?!
I like, I love, I WANT!  To cool, a friggn' troll.  But unlikly to happen if we want to stay "realistic" but if Gar can fly why cant he move someone else similarly?
(The smile face were my thought progression when I read this.)

Spy; "Troas, do trolls sometimes have wings?"
Troas; "what? no!"
Spy; "Ah, never mind, then"


It's a master plan, isn't it?  

And I thought Gararion's magic wouldn play a role here  

Ah, the no magic bit.

We could dress him up in a dress, perhaps...

Spy: "Are there female trolls?"
Troas: I'd prefer not to think about it. Why?"
Spy: "Eh... Never mind"

 

*flicks Raoneth back to yesterday*  Dont even think about it!   I think it would be nice if everytime we come to a dilema we don't immediatly call on Gar.  I'm sure that there should be a sewer outlet going into the harbor.  If we crawl in through there we can get to anywhere in the city unseen.  And if you think about what underground-resistance-force doesn't have a base somewhere in the sewers.  

Guard:"WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THA?!"
Shaint:"It's an Elven..winged....Troll...smokey..like.....thing you know first one of it's species!"

.....MEANWHILE......


Spy:"Troas sir, is there such a thing as a E'l-WIN-TRO-S?
Troas:"What in Ava's name is that"
Spy:"It's a big tall thing with smokey wings in a dress..."
Troas:"I'm sorry I asked...."

LOL

*Smiles lightly and slowly backs out of the room*

Oh, the sours, good idea, that'll stir up a good mess in Rao's psyche.
(I love messing up my characters)

ROFL   I am laughing so hard I fell of my chair.  Imagination, what a wonderful gift given to us all.

Radaroc, yes their are sewers in the city, but none of them are big enough for a troll to fit in. They are ruled by the thieves of Strata and their spies are rat brownies.  If you read the descrip of the city in Thalambath's Heart, under the thread Sewers ect. and the OOC threads you will get a good picture of what the Sewers are like, who the King of the Thieves is and of course if you read the city descrip on the main site you will read what the city proper looks like.  That is a good suggestion for the rest of Shaint's party as well.

If you need any help.  I guess I could paste the descrip of the King of thieves, and the sewers and the city in a thread all of its own.  It is up to you.  You tell me.  Ok?

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

 *runs around in panic*
what should i do?... what should i do?... what should I dooooo??!!!!!!!

I suppose it is ok for me to kill Issrah now... since Malok left....
Besides... you promised!!!

Well actually I had other plans for her, but it is ok, besides you seemed to enjoy it so much.   However once Rhas finds out you killed her sister you will have an enemy that will hunt you down.  And since Malok and she has your flute along with Bobbo's sword.  The melee between you three is... inevitable.  But more is yet to come.  I hope you are enjoying this little tale.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

have you guys figured out a way to get into the town yet as I wish to wake up soon  

Gar, (this is Shaint i'm just to lazy to log out of this account right now) but wake up when we get there we will figure it out part of the fun whil ethe guards watch us where planning there fate lol

Guys sorry to be a pain in the butt but as I mentioned in the SoS story I aint gettin on much so could you guys carry me for a while plz, cause I dont wanna lose my place here cause this is a really kewl story... thanx

Thats Grakan so you guys know

Aylix

---

We could go around and in by the sea...

We could kill all the guards in the city.

We could dress mr. troll up as a cow, they're probably allowed in.

We could go through or over the wall. (I suppose we'd have to toss the dwarf...  )

We could dig a big tunnel, or just expand the sewers.

Or we could just walk in through the front door and take

I think we have many options.

The best way is usually the easiest way. Just bribe your way in through the Western Gate.  Make your way to Merchant row and find Hashish.  He is usually selling his wares very early in the morning.

There problem solved.  As far as Radaroc, let the spies see him.  BTW I will play the spies and Troas and the King of Thieves and Hashish.  Just follow my lead and all will go well.  I will post the continuing plot of the story in the OOC as soon as you get to the city.

Bobbo- Your ring is more powerful than I thought.  You never mention in your char descrip that it could actually vanquish a Fire Lords spells.  The spells would have decreased over time as soon as Malok left.  You were just a little impatient.  However since you did not know.  I will go with the flow.  However you will have to edit that you picked up your saddle bags.  They, your sword, Luci's flute and anything else that was in the tent disappeared along with Malok and Rhas.  Malok thought he was taking you along with them, but Thalambath forbid it.  Just as Thalambath released Oscar and Luci.  Malok will discover your absence and try and figure out how it happened.

Hide in plain site....sounds like a plan.  Well I guess its not really hiding since they will see us but....umm...ok I just poked a hole in my own analogy soooo...TROLLS REPREESENT! WOOT! WOOT!...ya.

ok tried my hand at speaking elven so dont get on me if it's wrong  

So... uhm... Is it day or night? Gararions post seemed to indicate day, but then Shaint's post went back to night... And... I'd kind of like to wake up now, but I'm kinda waitin' for daylight here. ^.^;

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

well he wen to sleep at night and didnt sleep long so i assumed night....Gar?,

And how is this fitting for Traos? i have so many mor epictures of Dark or evil looking rulers,kings...whatever....

Edited by: Shaint at: 1/31/03 5:56:41 am

Well I figured because the fire and all were set that it was getting quite dark.  And I was out on my little "thing" there which would've taken a while.  And then I cam back and laid down.

So I put it as day so we could move on hopefully  

OHhhh Ok no problem good gararion magi elven of....eh....the resistance, lol  

So it begins, the Dawn of Love has begun.  Forget about the Dawn of War  

 More like a one sided affair.

Has anyone seen or talked to Bobbo?  He is needed desperately.  His reactions to what has happened so far and his thoughts are warranted.

Shaint, when are you and your party going to get to Strata.  That night is lasting a long time.  Ah, those summer nights. Huh, Shaint?   Well anyway, please try and get to Strata.  Remember as soon as you get to the Eastern gate. You will be stopped by guards, and you will have to bribe them to be let into the city.  Either you can NPC the guards or I can play them for you if you want.  I will keep my eye on the posts.

Luci and Bobbo and the rest what do you think of the story so far?  Is it keeping your interest, or is it bogging down? Becoming too complicated?  Do any of you have any suggestions as to how to make it better?  Just email me or put your thoughts here in the OOC.

Thanks.

*whistles* hey Oscar i cant help it is Keelin wants Shaint

well it's not night..i'm gonna wake everybody up right now.....or maybe I shouldent.....i meen wouldent want to ruin Shaints fun    

I think its starting to become quite interesting... and I wonder how Lucirina is going to defend herself agains Rhas... she is only a simple bard
What do you want us to do now?
Follow and recive the refreshments that they offered?

Keelin anytime you want I can backhand Shaint to next thursday, code word is "weasel-monkey" You say it and BAM!!...right into next thursday.  

... *sarcastically* Sure, that'll work.  Maybe if she thinks it real hard it'll suddenly become hearable!

Seriously though, if Keelin decides to hit him, she'll do it herself. Unfortunately, bing mute, she is unable to yell "What the f*** do you think you're doing?!" ()

Luci and Bobbo, Yes just follow my lead.  We are doing well.

How did that happen?
 

Okay, I'm going to LA (yay me!) and won't be back til' Monday at the earliest. I'd leave Keelin in someone's care, but I don't know who to leave her with... So basically, she's just gonna follow you guys around. If there's any fight's she'll help (someone can kinda just mention that she's there or something) and that's about it til I get back. I will return and post ASAP.

Keelin out.

What have I gotten myself into... Oh Avá protect me from the fire witch

Yep Luci don't you now regret killing her sister?

Thanks Gararion.

Luci, get real well with those throwing knives. Practice! Practice! Practice!

Just make a post exlaining how time passed detailed

My Online Journal

Where talking about approaching the city of Milkengrad,

I just thought of something that the party did not know that nahor was working for traos so they wouldn't know that there looking for a party with a troll so i had Shaint start to figure something might happen    

SHAINT!!!! we are heading to Strata!!!!  

Ok, ummm... I guess Shaint didn't know what you were talking about

But why are we going to Strata again?

---

My Online Journal

Because it isn't Milkengrad.

Shaint, didn't Oscar already go over ther "You're going to Strata not Milkengrad" thing?  

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

To aid the rebels...

  Shaint it has been Strata all along, just like Gar had said.  

Keelin are you sure your kiss did not addle Shaints brain more than usual?   I always did say that women could make a mans brain mush much faster than magic or any other power in the universe.   And Shaint is proving that theory.

Oscar are you going to control the guards? or one of us? because well i'de probably make them jerks lol and ofcourse readaroc would make them cuddely bunnies

(this is SHAINt btw just haven tlogged outta Larken yet )

*looks at his burning pool cue*
"And they laughed when I asked for the flame retardent gloss coat."  
Readaroc man I know I'm a book geek but, that, that my friend is certainly a new one.  And I'm guessing you want me to squish the guards.  ....but of course I condone such wanton violence,...ya, ahhh screw it BRING 'EM ON.

EDIT: I look at this seconds later and say "hormones hit me hard today"  

Edited by: Radaroc at: 2/19/03 12:43:54 am

I'm with Raddie over here "BRING 'EM ON!" but lets just get in then we can fight LoL then they are vonerable from the center of the city :P then again Traos will pick up on us pretty quick with how tall radaroc is you could see him from half a mile away  

Shaint I will play the guards.  I would prefer if you all would not mess up the guards.  Just bribe them, ok?

Luci, are you trying to seduce poor Qui?   He is having enough problems with his emotions without having to deal with the touch of your hair and your scent.  It is quite driving him mad.   I am kind of looking at this developing relationship like Lancelot and Guienevere in King Arthur's stories.  Or I may add a twist, I am not sure.  Your last post has made me think now for almost a day.  I read it yesterday afternoon and I am still trying to think of a way to reply.

Oscar Lotus

Ho, sorry for not posting for a while. I'm on sort of a holiday.

We're going to bribe the guards? You do know bribeable guards can't be trusted? They will tell on us, you know.
Not that I'll be noticed... But I don't really feel like rescuing you when you get caught. (though... thinking of it, it might be fun...)

Thats cool I was looking forward o killing them anyway >=)
and who is gonna controll the guards????

Edited by: Shaint at: 2/19/03 6:13:57 pm

Shaint Oscar said he would control the gaurds and he would like if we didn't mess up the guards.  Thus meaning no killing.

*looks all innocent*
Who? Little old me seducing Qui?

I actually like the twist you gave the story but why did he have to run awaaaaaaay?
I do hope Luci and Qui get a chance to meet later in the story, a little love triangle is always interesting.

For the guards....can we threaten them?  Ya know, if they want more then we're offering.....'cause I got a reeeeally big sword on my back and welll.....ya know...
*Looks down at his boots and toes the grounds*

 not fighting AGAIN? *shrug* owell yea like Radaroc said can we threaten them? I'm sure shaint's sword would be more than happy to press against there neck lol

 Who me? she says innocently.  Well he came back.

Bobbo, I hope I did not step too much upon your toes by having the tent collapse upon you?

Shaint and others.  This sandstorm is also going to affect Strata and yourselves as well.  I will play the guards.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Okay that is all and well.  

Shaint please noe that these guards wouldn't just be untrained people.  They would be trained in combat as they are guards

There fixed that for you all.  Now you can enter and Shaint keeps his money.   In the confusion you can now hide yourselves.  At least until after the storm passes by.  Of course once Troas knows you are in the city, he is going to blame you for the storm.  He already is thinking that the Tristin has a magician working for him.  So it would be no big jump for him once he finds out that Gararion is a mage, that he would accuse you of doing this.

Of course then the plan will be to have the citizens of Strata come against you.  By blaming their stores and homes being destroyed by you.  So you all have some quick thinking to do.  My thoughts would be to hide within the huge sewers beneath the city.  The only one who would not fit would be Rad, but maybe you can figure out something.  It is up to you.  I gave you a challenge, now you all must figure out what to do.  Gararion is good for advice, but Shaint you are the leader and there are others in your party that can help as well, not just Gar.  Remember Raoneth is a brownie.  His help in the sewers will be needed.  Especially when you finally meet the rat brownies.

Just some things for you all to ponder over the next few days.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

 
Yep thanks Oscar....really thanks

*goes off to ponder how he is going to get out of this one, a whole city of angry peasants blaming him for creating a sandstorm.*

You wanna know what the worst thing is though......Gararion could create a large sandstorm like this if he wanted to...



Just to let you know though Oscar that Gararion cansense magical essenses of things.

We could pretend I'm there prisoner...
I could get a nice big cloak and a hood....
You had been talking earlier about someone getting captured, me perhaps...
My ideas....

EDIT: Raoneth, Keelin post soon or I will have to haul you into Strata myself.  

Edited by: Radaroc at: 2/21/03 1:17:56 am

Oh you will, will you? Big scary troll is gonna haul lil' ole me into the city? I'd like to see you try...  

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

No but i'm sure Shaint will grab you and try and save you to be mr.hero again lol

Fine fine I'll just nab Raoneth.
unless he posts within the next 10 mins

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oscar died!!!!

HEY Shaint, Larken and soon to be another character here  but anyway i'm going to be gone from tommarrow untill probably thursday or late wednesday night because

I'M GOIN TO DINEY-LAND!!!!(as football players call is when it really IS DISNEY-LAND just goes to show the lack of intelligence that pro-football players have because of being knocked around so many times)

ANYWAY well GARARION, ATRII, RAONETH, RADAROC feel free to take control of Shaint if you need him....for the most part we should just be inside the Inn Shaint and Keelin went in-to so you can control what he says and stuff and for anybody thats in the Thirsty herald(GARARION) please control Larken for me and win angron lol

So anyone else wanna say whether or not I should actually enter the inn?  I personally don't really know.  

Where's Oscar been?

And he posts! Miracle of miracles!
I think I'll be able to be more regular now... this week, anyway... maybe.  

Sorry about not posting, but I had another set back or exacerbation as the medical term is called of my M.S.  But I am slowly recovering.

Oscar died.  But more surprises are around the corner.  You know I should have seperated these threads into two chapters instead of leaving it as one.  I may start a new chapter soon.

Keelin the sand storm has ended my elven maiden  

  Gararion I do believe that your feelings for Keelin are beginning to show.  Better not let Shaint see them    On the other hand as Lucirina said, " A love triangle keeps things interesting."  Of course with all of the males around it may become more than a triangle, how about a Quintuple  

Rad, do not worry about the Tavern.  Salina is doing well with it.

Started new chapter. Please post in new chapter. Thanks.

Edited by: Oscar Lotus at: 2/26/03 7:26:42 pm

hmm and I just got back and the first thing I see is gararion's feelings for Keelin -_-

However I see NO-ONE attempted to keep Shaint moving....and this is annoying because I have no idea what is going on....^_- so who want's to explain whats happening(basically) over OOC?

Hey New Chapter, about time wouldn't you say  

Atrii dude have you seen Arti's post in the "Something you want the admin to do" thread... i'd get rid of your sig and send him your pic... he seemed kinda pi$$ed at you  

One word and this happens...one will need to pick thous words with more care.


Shaint just to let you know simply....Gararion has gone off on his own again......he will be back again...just trying to make some good relations in the city before all goes crazy with Gararion....  

lol heh figures....BTW guys...shaint is collapsed in the door way so HELP HIM UP........  

Listen up Shaint and others.  Do not, I repeat do not kill any of the bouncers.  Just save Raoneth and Shaint and get out of the Glory inn.  You may fight with the bouncers, but do not kill them or heavily injure them.  A few bruises and such is ok, but that is all.  However you could just get out, it is your choice to either draw attention to yourselves or not.  Just remember that your actions cause others, some good, some bad.

Near the waterfront is an inn called Bavaras's Anchor.  You should all try and meet there.  It is a typical dive, but at least you would not attract too much attention, even rad, as long as he stays covered up as he is.  BTW it is also a thieves hangout as well.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

heh, Thieves....maybe shaint will get to use his own small thievery talents to get them some information....Or maybe we could just hold them hostage lol

What about us Oscar?
What is our next move?

Luci I am still waiting for Lord Bobbo to speak to Qui.  Then after that then just follow my lead, ok?

Maybe Bobbo does not know we are waiting for him.  Reading just chapter two you would not realize it.  You have to follow chapter one to its conclusion.  Maybe I started chapter two, too early.

BTW Didn't anyone laugh at my post in the Glory's Inn?  Or was it not funny enough?

And NOW I just find out that Mr.Roger's has died! How can you do this to me on the same day!? Nooo!         It's so horrible! Mr.Rogers is a legend, he can't just die, and now Oscar dies too. Do you realise what you are doing? Killing off the second legend of the day! And I can't believe Mr.Roger's died.. in such a horrible way too. Ugh, stomach cancer.

*A moment of silence for Mr. Rogers*

....Finally I live up to the name of a harbinger of DOOOM!!!
That's really all I have to say...

I will wait a bit before I post....I am still helping others...I am working on what I should do next...do I re-enter the Glory Inn or do I find the other place and be there when you guys come in...what to do what to do!!!!!

*looks confused* Uhm, oops? I didn't know the sandstorm had stopped... Oh well, I don't seem to have majorly damaged the storyline or anything...

Shaint, I'm warning you now, you try and save her again, and Keelin is gonna hit you over the head with something (like a rock...).

Gararion, I think that as soon as Raoneth graces up with his presence, we're all running towards the whatchamacallit Inn on the docks. So you may wish to meet us there.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Gah! I did it again! *hits her head against the wall*

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

wow Keelin is taking a stand against love  

erm... Oscar, sorry for ruining your fun, but, Rao was on the outside.

If you want me to put him inside, I'd do that...

Ah, never mind. I walked in and out again.
Good luck finding me Keelin.

 

Oh Raoneth, I am sorry, I was under the impression that you had gone into the inn.  I will edit my post if it is needed?

I just thought that some humor would be nice.  Even though most of you thought that what I wrote was not funny.  I really need to work on that. *thoughtfully scratches chin, wondering how to do that?*

Has anyone seen Bobbo?  The other plot line is at a standstill unless he posts.  If he has not posted by Mon, then I or maybe you, Luci, can carry him so we can get the other plot line moving.  What do you think?

Oscar Lotus

Edited by: Oscar Lotus at: 2/28/03 5:58:47 pm

if he dosn't show up I think you should try to carry him on... after all I do want the story to progress

lol thats ok GAR Shaint's head is thicker than any wall LoL

Oscar, don't edit your post, like I said, I played along. Just bloodied up the humor a bit. (well, I didn't kill anyone)
Though, your last post might need some editing, Rao didn't walk calmly out the door... He wrecked the floor. Sorry about that. While wrecking the floor and running outside Keelin comes in past him without noticing him (He's tiny).

I don't know about the others but I thought the situation quite funny.

Edited by: Raoneth at: 2/28/03 8:43:34 pm

Is the situation fixed now? That was confusing.

Maybe we should start doing entrances and exits in stage directions...

(Keelin exits, stage right.)

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Or I can start calling drill movements

SQUAD Right TURN!!

By the Left QUICK MARCH!!!



Hey I have been doing drill all night and will be doing it again this weekend, the following weekend and the following weekend after that so.....  

Oh God... Anything but whistles and commands... X.X

Besides, I never could tell left from right.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

  I can see it now.  Three stooges style.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

I used to be in the whole ROTC thing.. but that was in High School, and I was in the Air Force branch. It was a bit of fun though and I did make it pretty high up in the ranks, only I had to quit halfway through my last year because I decided to graduate early and go to England. I made it to Major and nearly became a squadron commander until they found out I was leaving. Are you in college ROTC or actual Military? Can't be highschool cause they don't often practice during nights.  I can only guess though cause I don't know your age or anything.

He's 18...or 19 ^_- something like that lol I am looking heavilly into the ROTC programs and I would like to be in the AF branch or perhaps the MR branch if they have one of those but Gararion my question is........Do you have the intemedating voice to be shouting commands at people.....mine seems to scare people lol but i'm loud voiced so I can pretty much talk normally and you can hear me from,

atleast a few yards away.....

Heyas Oscar... I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty of playing one of the men in your army for a while  

correct I am 18 turning 19 this summer.

And my voice?

Well I have one of the better drill voices.  And when I speak to a person I usually speak to those people in a calm voice.  But when I figure that that person just isn't repecting me then I move in closer so I am pretty much standing on a persons toes.  Then I get in right close to your face, if you move back to get a way I move even closer.  I have literally made a few people fall backwards before

But if I think that person is still not respecting me then I begin to yell in your face calling you every name in the book.  And I hope you don't mind a little added spit for a added effect  

Heh sounds like something I would do.....however I wouldent exactly talk calmly to them....pretty much just stand about 2 feet away and start talking..no respect i move closer untill the fact where there ear-drums cannot do anything but ring opver and over because of the loud shouts coming strait at there face, dang.....so what Rank are you gar?

SGT First class lol AND GET ON AIM GAR....

rank doesn't matter to me.  I am treated like a officer most of the time  

What's "ROTC"?
It sounds like some sort of hitler-jugend thing... (I hate all things that sound like the military.)

And who are all the characters who aren't in the story being played by?

Something Officer Training Something, I think...

And it is a type of military thing.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Edited by: SketchesofInsanity at: 3/3/03 5:43:34 am

I am assuming that ROTC is one of the american entry plans into the forces.

In canada we have the following entry plans:

Regular Forces Officers:
Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)
Direct Entry Officer (DEO)
Continuing Education Officer Training Plan (CEOTP)
Medical Officer Training Plan (MOTP)
Dental Officer Training Plan (DOTP)
Canadian Forces Community College Entry Plan - Pilot


There are many other ones but these are the regular force office ones.  There is still ones for Non-Commissioned regular forces, and both Officer and NC for the reserves.

So you're going to become an officer in the army...
*starts hissing weakly. Sharpens claws.*

Ah, never mind. Prejudism acting up in me... Sorry about that. Having fun?

Edited by: Raoneth at: 3/3/03 3:15:43 pm

What! Gar, you have no enlisted men?   Well Gar if you are going to be an officer, I wish you the best.  I was in the U.S. Navy myself.  I was a code breaker.  Military Intelligence.  I wish I would have stayed in, I had thought about going to OCS, Officer's Candidate School, but then I got out.

Luci, no I don't mind.  However I was hoping that Qui and her could become closer, but you seem to have changed your character, maybe it will take just a little bit more longer to break through that ice.  Qui will have to use his charm   And at the same time keep Lord Bobbo from not knowing.   They both seem like impossible tasks.  Let's see if Qui is up , to it.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

ehehe... that is just her way of sheltering her heart against pain, Qui will break trough some day... and maybe the fact that she is blaming herself for the death of Oscar has something to do with her wanting to keep everyone on a armslenghts distance... specially Bobbo... she has a doubt in her heart that he could be more responsible for the death of the old man than he does admit to himself

I've a been thinking of going into the US Navy....one of things I havn't decided on is before or after HS ....On one hand you got tutition assistence, on the other you might forget some of what could really help you in college ie Calculus etc etc....and other things like what if something major does happen....so it's alot to think about....ya.
Welll that's my randomness for the day...enjoy.  

Well the way I look at it is if we go to war and I am needed I will be going to war.  There is no question about it.  If I die the first day I enter then I die.  If I come out of the war with no damage then I was lucky.  Anything in between I am prepaired for.

Lot of deep thoughts in this troll...deep thoughts.

@Gararion: Another thing to think about, I wouldn't mind dying for Canada, the UN or for what I believe in.  Bush/Oil (I can't tell the difference) no.  And 'cause Canada is just plain a better place then the US in all but one respect...which I will come up with later.

get off the war subject or SOMEONE is going to get pissed  

Shaint whats wrong?

Say Gararion, when are you going to speak to Grunk?  Or at least post something how you feel about his intrusion, or even that you noticed that most of your party is in the tavern with you.  Except Keelin!

Oh, Keelin where did you go?  Did you get lost in the city.  You know an idea just popped into my head.  Damien's men could capture you. That would be just the reason for Shaint and the others to come after you.  You tell me what you all think, especially you Keelin.

BTW Rad, you could walk through the main sewer pipes, just not through their branches.  The main ones are just about three peds tall.(approximately nine feet.)

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Oscar I did speak to Grunk.  My whole last post was towards him

Sorry for taking a while to post thugh.  WIl post faster no on  

I apologize Gararion.  I did not see the post.  I guess I need stronger glasses.

LOL that funny Gar....BTW I was just thinking *rubs head in pain* that a character of mine 'Urgoth' could come in handy and easily into play he's a giant....well.....not compared to radaroc, but he is a Hire sword and a big muscle could allways come in handy plus he would be a good person to send around for information,

Considering the fact Traos doesent know he would be with them. just a thought so what do you all think?

GAH!....^_^; owell even old RP'ers have there Brain-farts  

When you put it that way Oscar it sounds like I will end up sacrificing myself while we are being chased through the sewers and the only way out is a smaller passage.....wee I like making up my own little plots.  

*eyes light up* I can get captured?

*rubs hands together* That sounds like fun.

There is only one condition:
I get to injure/kill/maim one of them.

The boys have been gettin' all the fun stuff lately. All I've done is get rescued *glares* and hit some guy over the head.

Yes, I am a violent little girl when I want to be.

And I'm not even going to attempt to discuss the war with you all because 1) you're all older than me and probably understand things better, and 2) I haven't quite figured out what the point of the war is yet.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Why does every one want to kill?  What the big thing with killing?  I mean if Gararion can he would rather remain in the shadows.  The only reason why he killed the Sephets and Skrill is because they were  great threat to you guys and you weren't fairly that well.  But who knows why everyone here seems all geared up for killing

And I am not going to say my thoughts on why this war is getting started as I wish not to affend any of the americans here.....

 Keelin yes you can get captured, and before you do you can injure and even kill one of the men before doing so.  Then you will be taken to Damien's and probably he will take a shine to you and try and make you part of his harem.  He won't understand why you can't talk, but that will just endear him more to you.

Gararion, Grunk could not see you clearly, you had your cowl covering your head and with the low light in the Tavern.  He thought he was speaking with a human, a rich one at that.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Keelin you can decide you are going to kill, Og, Poh, or Erwin.  Then you can decide you are going to maim and injure and then right before you finish off the last one, Nob hits you over the head and knocks you out.  Ok?

You can think about it, even plan on it but don't try it.

It seems that Bobbo has dissapeared again... maybe we should just carry him on, if not the story will become stagnant again.

Okay Oscar kinda figured that out after I posted message.  Just adds to the effect if we meet again and he sees who I am  

Shaint you pose an interesting question, should I respond in righteous indignation or savage pleasure.....or somewhere in between.

In short people are obbsessed with killing because of power.  

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Lord Acton (1834 - 1902), 1887
But...
"Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat."
John Lehman (1942 - ), Secretary of the Navy, 1981-1987

Ok, Lucirina. Do you want to do the carrying or should I?

Shaint, if you and the others start something in the Anchor.  Don't!  I am warning you.  If you want to take it out on Grunk, later, after he leaves the bar or something that is different.  BTW Grunk hates any race that is not human.  It's just the way he is.  Beating him up will just fuel his hatred and prove him right.

Besides you are going to need him, to help you lead you to Damien's underground palace.  But you hotheads do what you want.  Just remember your actions cause me to change my plots and causes reactions, sometimes disastrous ones.

Lesse, why do I want to kill something...


Because I'm slightly sadistic and I prefer action to wandering around aimlessly. Even though wandering aimlessly is what I do best.

^.^

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Oscar don't worry.  If they were going to do something I was going to do something in return

So I already prepared for that.  

*looks around* I feel young...

Wow, new feeling.

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

What did this feeling come from?

I just realized all of you are older'n me.

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Yea I was goin after Grunk but now the light's went out so Shaint's gonna flee next post anyhow lol

Atrii is going to disappear from the tavern and sorta wander around Strata for a bit... now what trouble will he get into... that ok with everyone?

Hope you don't mind if Gararion might follow but not follow if you know what I mean.  Gararion is extremly worried about this group for they treasure death to much he thinks.  And his tribe is a very peaceful tribe.  So it is in his nature to try to stop any unneeded harm to any man or womam.

Well Atrii isn't going to look for a fight... Gar doesn't know that though  He is just really messed up with those visions that will come to conclusion in the story that I will hopefully be starting soon...

Hrrf... I remember the last time we had a political discussion here... The whole thread was shut down because someone might get hurt.

Witch led me to run away and join a political forum, witch is the reason I'm not as active here as I used to be.

(just in case someone wondered...)

Anyway, I've posted, and I think I'll try to stir things up again. Maybe spread some of Rao's distrust... I like that.  

Nice one little brownie.  

I try  

but remeber who you are dealing with little brownie  

 Taking bets, Brownie against Elven Magician.  Any takers?

Keelin, just how old are you?  I may have to rethink my ideas if you are too young.  I keep on forgetting that some of my ideas may have a PG-14 or higher rating on them.  I thought Shaint, at 15 was the youngest player here.  And why he is leading this party is beyond me.  Oh, wait I know it is because I assume that the ones I Rp with are older than I find out they really are.  I suppose I should stop assuming.  What is it they say? When you assume, you make an A$$ out of U and ME

Well its not the first time, and I expect it won't be the last either.  

You can think about it, even plan on it but don't try it.

well I am 18 Oscar.  So no worries here  

You please... I have been pondering what I would do if I was Bobbo for two days... and it seems I cannot think like a jealous male :P

Shaint I have been rereading your posts.  And have discovered that you are taking for granted things your character does not know.  For instance; Grunk knowing he has information, in fact even knowing Grunk's name.  He never told you, Gararion never told you.

A little advice and that goes for everyone, just because you may read and know what is going on, your character does not neccesarily know.  Your character must discover what is going on by themselves.  For instance; You know that Keelin is missing from your party.  You knew that because someone told you, and from her obviously not being with you.  However your character does not know that she is being attacked.  Your character does not know that Grunk is one of Damien's spy's, albeit a slow and poor one, he still is one of Damien's eyes and ears.  And he may surprise you.  He is not as dumb as he appears.  

Now Atri, with his dreams will go wandering off into the dark.  Several things could happen; he could get mugged, or he could come to himself and find his way back to the Anchor, or and this is how I envision it.  He finds something of Keelin's. A piece of cloth, maybe her sword, or something like that lying in the streets.  He becomes worried, goes back to you and tells you all.  That is when Gararion tells you about Grunk's offer of knowing the city well.  You then persuade him to guide you around the city to try and find Keelin.  

The persuasion does not mean threating him.  Use other means, such as bribing, or offering him barrels of Brown, which he loves.  Threating him would only cause him to become beligerent and then you would be forced to kill him, and then you would never find her.  

Gar, your character is good. And you play him well.  But you also are bordering on Godhead, you always cannot find something or someone using magic.  There must be some flaws in your character and his powers.

I hope I am not offending anyone.  I just want you to understand how a story works.  I am sure you all have read some story or another.  Did all of the characters in your books know what the other characters were doing or thinking all the time?  No, they had to discover it out.  You as a reader knew, just as you know about this story, but the characters did not know, and neither should your characters know until you discover it somehow or someway.

Thanks for listening.  If you put my advice to work in all of your rping, you may be surprised at how rich and colorful your writing can become.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Atrii could find something of Keelin's... but couldn't Atrii just go off looking for her on his own... when worried I doubt Atrii would wait and tell the others rather than running and searching on his own(his is a ranger after all)

Tell me if that's ok then I'll do it, if not I'll think of something else.

Well Oscar if you read my post more carefully Shaint as I(hope) you all know he is an Elf well he was listening to the whole conversation well after the first part and grunk did adress himself as Grunk so thats how he knows,

and as far as KNOWING he has information he reallyt doesent just a hunch of his like a cop ^_^;; lol

Ok well Damien why am I leading yet am 'probably' the youngest player here? because out of everyone accept oscar I have been here the longest I don't have the highest post count because i just kinda hung loose for awile but yes I am the veteran player ^_^,

NOTE:Shaint is the youngest character also heh, but he's different so get used to it....not really a leader anyway he depends on everyone in his party for support on everything.

Ok, Luci.  I will try and carry Bobbo.  

Atrii, I think your suggestion is fine.  It goes along with his character.  However once you discover they have gone underground, you may, though it depends upon your character, want to go back and get the others.  

Shaint, even Elven ears are not going to be able to listen through all of the loud din and conversations going on in a very boisterous tavern, could they?  I am not sure.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

eh no I guess not, I hate it when you do that

Oscar I gotta question, Would it affect the stories plan alot if Shaint Changed dramaticly? because you know how he was when he started and now I think I wanna change him for a little while to put him in the shadows as a 'loner' sort like he used to be, but don't worry he would come back and You know help save the day.....well not untill they find Keelin then he might have to kill some people  

No, Shaint not at all.  In fact it would add depth to the story.  After all like we, our characters have to have some flaws.  Some are more prominent than others, but we all have flaws.  And if your character was a loner and struggles against that, that would be the reason why you try so hard to be a hero.

It is a good character motivation.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

^_^  thank You Oscar  

Yup that settles it, I am officially the youngest. Even Shaint is older than me. I'm 14, but don't worry about changing the storyline on my account. My parent's won't sue or anything dramatic and I'm not going to freak out on you or anything. I'm very good at being mature... most of the time. ^.-

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

nuh-uh i'm 14 too Keelin ever fin dthis odd??

same age same state same website(elfwood)......hmmm this is very oooooooddddddddd  

No not really. ^.^ Lots of people in my town are the same age as me and a couple are even on Elfwood too. ^.^

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

im 14 too... lot's of 14 yr olds here  

And I'm just really immature! No I already said my age in an old post here if you care that much you can look it up.  Hmmm...I hope you didn't think my talking about Keelin ment I was reading Shaint's mind, I thought (and Rad is an intelligent troll) that it was blatently obvious that he has a huge crush on her.  

My flaw is easy, beside physical apprearence.......well I just thought about it for a little bit and that is something I need to work on........maybe make him more cautious, slower to make desisions even when he really needs to...that could work...more thought on this I will take

EDIT: Oscar you want I should try and stop them before they kill Grunk, who some how knew I was a troll, odd.

Edited by: Radaroc at: 3/7/03 5:28:27 am

Rad, your obvious size, is a definate give away as to what you are.  I do not think there are other races that are as large as you, unless maybe it is a giant.  But giants are larger than you, I think.  No matter what you disguise yourself in.  I could be wrong.


 Wow same state, same age, same website, is it same town as well? how about same block?  Same school?, same classes?  Hm... interesting, verrrrrry interesting indeed.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Keelin I hope you are not angry at me for knocking out your character, but that is what I said was going to happen and you did your fighting sequences very well.  

You can wake up when I am searching you, you can try to attack me, scratch me, kick me whatever.  But I will eventually win and bind you.  Ok?

You can think about it, even plan on it but don't try it.

Damien I wouldent try anything such as, to remove Keelins clothing or kiss her because Shaint's gonna kill you if you do.  ((He's my best friend trust me he'd do it too))

 

I don't mind. Besides. It just takes longer if you wait for me to post it since we'd already agreed that Keelin was going to get knocked out. Common sense.

YAY! I'm officially kidnapped! (Okay, so maybe it's not something I should be celebrating, but still...)

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

C'mon Boyz are Grrrrrrrrrrrrlz *winks at Keelin*

lets get active, very sad this is a cool styory but no one posts....once a week....

I'll post soon, going out today and had to get my story started up  Also I have to think of what to post for a bit.

Looks like we got to wanderer's in the city of Strata, After posting That I've got an Idea.

How about Atrii and Shaint meet on accident and find heck...whatever where going to find of Keelin's this would give Shaint a perfect reason to join back with the party because of love...friendship well something like that and they can carry on to get Grunk.....or something or.......well yeah......who in the ANCHOR want's to make.....eh I meen 'buy' Grunk to talk?

- I think I remember that I've been here a little longer than you...

Heh, no one can say we're not letting the youth get a hand at leading, though. I'll soon be 20, and if there's anyone not leading the party...

Heh, nice new siggy Shaint here's my fav dragon quote:
"Never argue with an enraged dragon, for you are crunchy and go well with brie."

And I don't think I could Atrii I think is our best bet because, he's human.

^_^;; oh yea hehe.....well.....buy a keg and have it sent to Grunks room with a note that says drink as much as you wan't and then come see me downstairs, he'll be durnk and should easilly get information out o fhim lol.

*hums and wanders around in circles* Er... should Keelin... wake up or something about now? Or something?

Has anyone noticed Keelin spends large portions of this story unconcious? (Well that was mostly my fault, but hey.)

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Yes, Keelin wake up while I am running my hands over your body.  You can even fight back, but I win in the end.  I am waiting your post so I can post back.

You can think about it, even plan on it but don't try it.

*Bangs her head against the wall* Something finally happens and now it's Tech Week! *growls*

For all you non theatre geeks Tech wekk means, I will most likely not be back till this weekend. I will try to get on during the week, but it might be hard. I shall now make my post, and if Keelin is needed somewhere during the week and I'm not here, Oscar may delegate her part to whoever wants it. (So long as I get her back later. ^.-)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Break a leg, Keelin.  Don't worry.  The boys can fun running around the city until you come back.    Damien will have fun feeling your body.

Luci it seems that you have gotten a handle on how a jealous suitor would react.  Are you going to continue with Bobbo?  I wonder where he is?  Does anyone know?

The ride to the Tears will take most of the night.  The tears is huge oasis that is only known by the Tristan, his followers, and some desert nomads.  It has been the Tristan's home away from home for at least two years.  It is surrounded by sixty odd palm trees that have men in them that can spy out the land and see if anyone is coming for leagues all around.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Edited by: Oscar Lotus at: 3/11/03 6:55:54 pm

I know how he would reacte because I had a jealous suitor once
As for the continuing with Bobbo... he has kind of dissapeared, and Luci is very insecure right now... she just dosn't show it, she still cares very much for him but her doubts is pushing him away.

Ooo a fellow techie!    Snazzy, it's musical time around here but I shouldn't be anymore busythan I usually am.  

Hmm maybe I shouldn't have isolated myself so, do you want me to find you guys or will you find me?

Edited by: Radaroc at: 3/12/03 5:53:05 am

Nah, nah, nah. Tain't a techie this time around. This time I'm actin'. (And don't go all funny on me. I've had enough of techies slamming actors to last me a lifetime.)

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Hey guys don't you ever read the posts.  I wrote that Nob slid Keelin's sword in the shadows.  That is what I assumed you would find.  Not a piece of her shirt.  We didn't even touch her, it was a well placed blow upon the back of her head.

Oh, well  I suppose the damage is already done.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

No, they don't read the post. And apparently neither did. (Because I didn't notice either.) Maybe they could find it now so that Raoneth is convinced? (And then they could possibly return it...)

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

no not really oscar, I do read them but only scan considering you are in a whole nother story, I knew what's gonna happen

so now that thats setteled it's not really damage just confusion if it meen that much to you I'll just edit the posts but i dont see why to make a deal outta it.

No big deal.  I was just hoping for some continuity.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

I have fixed the sword problem  

 anyway sorry none-the-less Oscar  

 oh, you're just begging for it, aren't you Gararion.

Good move, I think this might aid me in creating a little fun to the story... some distrust here, some backstabbing there... Anyone feel like helping?

I am so sorry for being gone so long. I have unexpectedly had a great deal of responsibilities thrown on me. I suppose being in 5 performing music groups, a drama group, and designing 4 different websites doesn't give a lot of time. Plus I have to practice all my instruments and I'm taking classes at a local campus as well.

Anyway, next time something like this happens, I will BE SURE to tell you guys beforehand. Hopefully I can jump back in the story.

Sorry again.

Ooo! Intrigue I can help but I must get over to you guys first...High HO!....THAT-A-WAY!!!

Wow Bobbo!  that is alot of runing around.  What do you play?  I sing, but it is usually in church.  I sing alot of solo's and sing for special meetings we have in our church.  I also sing for other churches when they ask me to, for their special meetings.  I also give motivational speeches, when given the chance.  Which lately has been increasing, both my singing engagements and preaching and motivational engagements.

Anyway welcome back.  I hope you didn't mind Luci and I playing you.  And that you can follow the story line and pick up from there.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

I play Alto Sax and the Guitar

wow... that is a lot of stuff.
So you sing ne?
I sing too... used to sing in a choir but it kind of didn't continue on
So now I sing alone  

I sung in a choir once... you know the little sh*t who always stands on the back row and yells instead of singing... well, that was me.

How do you play the Guitar, Gar? I've been trying to teach myself classical, it's not easy, but it's very impressive to listen to those who know how to play.

WHOOOO!!!! Bass Clarinet!!!!!...AND PIANO!!!!...wee.
well and a little keyboard but I'm just learning.  

Damien or Keelin - Where are you, underground? In my next post I plan on having Shaint and me find the entrance to where you are being held  

Well I use both Acoustic and Electric Guitars.  I teach myself and also play to radio.  I play mostly country, not the old country but like Garth Brooks, Brooks and Dunn sorta stuff.

Edited by: Gararion  at: 3/15/03 4:16:46 am

Gararion means acoustic (for anyone who's like me and stared at the word for 20 minutes trying to figure out what he meant).

I actually only know that we are in Damien's "palace" underground. Other than that...

I play: flute, piano/keyboard, and bells/xylophone.  

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

yep Keelin is underground.  They went through a hiden passage way

I play flute, cello, string bass, piano/keyboard, percussion (jimbay, tambourine, rain stick, congos, bongos), and drum set. Ironic isn't it Lucirina,  , I'm the only guy floutist I know.  

Another thing that is ironic is that I play in church too, Oscar. I play percussion for the contemporary band, as well as offertories on my other instruments.

I'm in a big band with the flute, A string orchestra with the cello and string bass, percussion in worship band, and drum set in a band me and my friends are making. I think that's it  Oh! I also synthesize and write my own pieces.

Ironically again, Oscar, I'm going to become a pastor as well, though probably a music pastor, then maybe later on a preacher. You guys are a lot like me!  AAAHH!! Not another me!!!

*nods* They were the guys smart enough to see the distinct advantages of being the only male in the flute section. ^.-

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

What is a flautist?  Do you mean flutist?  Ah, yes that would be a smart guy.  Only if he was good enough and his ego would allow him to be outplayed by a girl.  Most guys in my era could not handle that.  I played trumpet, in marching band and then jazz band.

Bobbo you sure do have alot on your plate.  Hey Gar did you know Wren is looking for a guitarist to play for her, she has a gig comming up and needs one.  Oh, wait, you are in Canada, she is in England.  I guess that won't work, oh well.  I hope she finds a guitarist.  She has a beautiful voice and I would like to see her get that gig.

Hey how many have you seen Nashville Star?  I think that the girl that sang "Heartbreak Hotel" should have been voted off, and not the one that was.  "Heartbreak Hotel is not a country song.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Yeah Oscar.  I already offered my services....but as I mentioned it would be one heck of a travel time

And I watched Nashville star.  Heartbreak Hotel, what genre of music you think it is?

Ugh, Back my comrads went on a short Vacation before I move, Researched the Marine branch in the military, and I ALSO play guitar my uncle(s) play guitar and are very good........how good? take a CD find a Guitar TAB or something of the sort and he can figure out how.

Shaint and others in the underground.  I can already see that you are rushing things a little, using magic to track. I did not know your sword had that capability, Shaint.  I don't recall reading that in your charac descrip.  Anyway, there are many pitfalls, tricks, and surprises for you all.  Just follow my lead, you will eventually find Keelin.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Oscar how do you get the impression I used magic?? i did nothing of the sort my sword is wind magic would be splitting the water or throwing small pebels.

Sorry Shaint, I read your post wrong.  I thought you were invoking some sort of spell upon your sword that showed you the three passageways.  My eyesight is not the best and when you wrote Atrii I thought it was Ava. So sorry.

Keelin I hope you did not mind Easha measuring you.  If you do I will edit the post.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

LOL Ok oscar but what I have now is not a laughing matter,

"Ok guys I'm moving sorry I havent td you but yes I am as I eak my family is loaing things into a Pnske truck and we are getting ready to head on out from goldenstate California to MISSISSIPPI, So someone NEEDS TO CONTROL SHAINT!!! I will be gone for a maximum of a few months (2-4) but will be on fairly regularly on a Cafe so I will post when I get the chance

OK guys well, the next time I post officially I will be on the road and travelling 2,6000 miles or 26,000 miles one of the two and will be thinking of what the HECK is going on at Santharia lol, Ok well

To the person going to control shaint, it will be easy right now he's mad can't tell what he's gonna do....just go rashing a thrashing then pretty much...well.....Kill people ^_^, ok well I'm off gotta go help load up some stuff,

Untill next time I'm signing off and out...
's at Keelin and walks off,


P.S.- LOL I'll be back for the slap Keelin don't worry CYYYYAAA!

well I wouldn't think I would be a good person to control you atm.

Who wants to?

*waves goodbye to Shaint and tucks the slap in her pocket for later use*

We're opening tommorrow. I'm gonna die. Although, according to everyone, I look like a 3-day old corpse in my stage makeup. *shrugs*

I'm the most lively dead person they'll like ever see.

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

Shaint, good luck to you and your family on your move.

I am not sure about who carries Shaint.  We could make him go mad, and disappear for awhile, or someone else needs to write for him.  I already have a full plate.  Maybe you Atri, or Rad, maybe you could do it.  In the meantime I think that maybe Gararion should take over the leadership of the company, or Atri.  It is up to you guys.  Even Rad or Raoneth, or even Keelin, once she is rescued.  I have no qualms about anyone taking over Shaint's position, temporarily.  However 2-4 months,  This story will be finished.  I believe by then.  But then again who knows.

I myself will be gone for the second week in April.  Writers conference I will be at, in the Catskills, mountains, that is, retreat of some sort.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Sure I'll write for ya Shaint  Gar I'd like you to take control of the party, or you Rad, or anyone but me

Hope everything goes smooth for ya Shaint in your move and looking forward to seeing you back.

Moves all doen what a Miracle turns out we where moving next door.....LOL....ok well not that easy,

Still packing and there dragging the computer out o fthe door right now while I am currenty writing, So i can't keep *Screaming heard in distance "NOOO, WAIT , STOPPP, NOOO JUST ONE MORE MINUTE!!!"*

Well anyway if the story is done in 2 months then I Guess you get to have fun in the tavern with Shaint lol, well ok I will talk *silence then ear piercing scream*, post again but right now EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF WHILE HE DEFENDS HIS COMPUUUTTTTEEER!!!!!!!!!! *click...* *.....Computer shuts down*

NOOOOOOOOOO

I'm not really able to post very often now... There's a war going on and it's really blazing in the political discussion boards I'm on.

In addition to that the assignments I havefor applying to the schools I want to go to... well I'm just in a big hurry, really.

well how often will you be able to post?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to post before monday... we'll see.

so once every three days then, sooner, longer?

Seem that Qui does have a chance with Lucirina after all Oscar :P

Nah, by monday I have to be ready with the 7 first tasks... after that I'll have about a month to do the remaning 7 (for another school)

So every other day after monday would probably realistic.

well that isnn;t all that bad.

I was wondering should we make the arrows start flying or did you want to hold that responsibility Damien?

that is the only thing stopping me from posting... Damien whaddaya wanna do  

Luci   Interesting.

Atrii and Rad-  I was waiting for you to post your impressions of the scene you are in, before I began round three.  Tell me what is the scene you are in?  

This is what you should be in. You are in complete darkness, the path you were following has now been blocked off, water is rising rapidly, and you should be able to hear scratching and squeaking noises of hundreds of rats heading your way.  I have not seen any posts of you guys, describing your feelings, nor your actions concerning this predictament you are in.  That is what I was waiting for, before I posted the arrows flying which would be round three of the Thousand stings of Confusion.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Just out of curiosity; are there a thousand rounds in this "thousand screams of confusion" or whatever?

I posted, by the way. And if length has anything to do with anything... I've got a lot of anything.

But it was the scene in withc Rao discovers his powers, should be long and dramatic, shouldn't it?  

Oh yes, anyone who wants to use/abuse Shaint go right ahead.  
I didn't want you guys thinking that I would be the only one controlling him.  Ok thats all.  

No Rao no thousand rounds.  A thousand arrows or better, though.

I hope you all researched Krakenweed and what it can do to a body.  Though you will not die from it because of the small size, enough of it in you will cause you to become numb and slow down your reaction times and even make you hallucinate.

Say did Bobbo disappear again?

Keelin, Damien thinks your worth it

- I read it's description on the site. Rao is aware that the poison won't hurt him, but the arrows might... How big are they compaired to e.g. Rao's palm?

I would think they would be half of your body length roughly.  I look at a arrow of a regular person, being half if not longer than ones upper body.  Thus I take it the brownie arrows would comapre, but only compare to brownie size.

Maybe I am wrong....  

Ok, Luci I will post for Bobbo, I hope I get it right.

Brownie arrows for an brownie would be the same size as if a human were pulling an arrow on a human.  If that makes any sense?"

In other words if a human were shot with an arrow, he would be wounded or even killed.  Same thing with a brownie being shot with a brownie arrow.  Understand?

For example, Gararion used his magic as a shield and blew a bunch of arrows back to the ceiling.  Well some of those arrows hit some of the rat brownies.  Some will be wounded, some will die.  As you will see in my post.

That will make Leetah very very angry   Gar.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

  well Gar doesn't take to kindly to being shot with toothpicks

*waits to see what will happen now to his poor mage*  

ummm...why.....*whines*

*wonders what his next step will be.....for this is getting very interesting*

Sorry I haven't been around much for the past couple of days.  The cable was on the fritz but I think it's back to normal.  

YE GADS!!!   If Gar killed 50 and they don't see this a major blow how many li'l brownies are there?

YE GADS!!!   If Gar killed 50 and they don't see this a major blow how many li'l brownies are there?

I didn't think it was that big to deserve two posts Radorac  

 

oops
Like I said internet is fuzzy I'm still not sure how reliable it is.
 I must of double clicked or something.

 

 

so sick... so sick... so sick!

Well think about it Rad.  These tunnels are the Rat Brownies only home.  I believe it was once calculated that a thousand of these little guys could easily live in just a third of the space of all the tunnels under Strata.  I believe that more could, so you do the math.  So when I say hundreds of arrows fill the air, I literaly mean hundreds of arrows.  To put it in perspective, if you have ever been outside in the summer, when gnats are flying all over the place, they look like a small dark cloud, and they get in your eyes, mouth, hair, and everyplace else.  Well that is the picture of what is happening in the tunnels.  But these little arrows have Krakenweed soaked arrow tips.  Research Krakenweed, and you will get the idea of what Leetah is trying to do to you all.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

It was just a bit of food poisoning.

What are we all waiting for?  Who's turn is it to post?    

Good question... I'm waiting too...

ummm.... *looks at Gar* why don't you post

Let's get moving again all  

I will see if I can post in the next little while.

sounds good, and gar u dont have to post  Just messing with ya  

I realize that I have almost been gone a month. As I said before, I have been extremely busy. I am very sorry again. I am very sorry for ruining this story for you guys. Can you forgive me? I'm going to try and make it here more often, like everyday. I try to make at least a quick post each day from now on, or at least every other day. Sorry again, and sorry in case this happens again.

Good to see you back Shaint... *holds back his opinions on the war in Iraq* Anyways... I think Rad was playing your character... I don't remember  *puts party hat on Shaint* now to welcome you back  

:P I have allready been to the Library IT SUCKS -_- the computers can't 'accsess' ezboard or so says the library people wich REALLY MEENS 'we don't know what the heck where talking about so please stop asking us questions before we have to lie some more'

But I did find a good book if I read it it will tecnically be the first book I have ever read on my own free will, it's buy a Man(or woman) named TERRY BROOKS dunno if he is known or not he has about 12 books all of wich are fantasy related,

Mostly he incorperates elves and magic ^_^ sounds cool dont it? well when I read it if I get the opertunity I will post an dtell you a little about it next time, anyway c'ya in a little while- SHAINT

Terry Brooks is a male and he is known...at least I know him.

he is a good auther Shaint.  You should have a good read there.  What book are you reading?

And I believe he has written more then twelve books.  He has several sets of books that he has written.

It's called The Scions of Shannara it is supposed to be the first book of the siries 'THE HERITAGE OF SHANNARA'

BTW Gar go to Chat ^_^

Edited by: Shaint at: 4/8/03 10:06:07 pm

I'm unsure how many books he has written but aren't they all related to Shannara? Really cool books though, I believe my aunt has read them all. I've read bits of them but never the whole thing. Will probably pick up one of the books on my next visit to the library.

Yeah I believe they are, though I haven't read them all or even seen them all really.

They have all of them and actually there is about 3 that arent related to Sanhara so yea he's a fantasy writer in my book....

well anyway it's nice to post again but like I said(I think) The library had ALL OF TEH SANHARA BOOKS.....accept the very first one  

Ahhh books, my forte!  Ya I've heard of Terry Brooks, even bought one of his books "The King of Sanhara" (I think thats the first one?)  Anyway my opinion was that it was too slow.   But you like it so more power too ya!   Hmmm, if you like that sort of thing I'd suggest anything by R.A. Salvatore or less likely Michel A. Stackpole  these guys are my favs soooo, check 'em out.  

*eyes light up* Salvatore?

*blinking neon sign appears over her head that says "Drizzt Addict"*

*notices the sign*

*blushes and shoves it into the closet*

Erm... so as everyone noticed... *cough* I'm also a Salvatore fan. *wanders off before she embarrases herself further*

PS It's Shannara. ^.-

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

the first actual one was "Stones of Shannara" but then he wrote the prelude "The Firsk King of Shannara"

Hi there, anyone miss me?

Bobbo, glad to see you back.  You come back when I was gone.  Hopefully we can be on at the same time from now on.

Gar, the first book written by Terry Brooks was the Sword of Shannara, It is a fascinating series.  I have read all of the books written by him.  He was considered when the Sword of Shannara came out as a pioneer in the sword and sorcery genre after J.R.R.  Sword was published in 1977 I think.  Anyway very good writer.  Another author I would recommend would be David Eddings, and the Belgararion series, where I thought that is where you got your name from Gar, I may be wrong, but that is what I thought.

Well lets get this story moving shall we?  I need to reread the posts and see where we are.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Yep Oscar!

Hey, anybody read Robert Jordon's The Wheel of Time series? It is a very interesting fantasy book series. The man used pretty much no common fantasy things and made up his own (at least as far as I know) races and elements.

'... Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.' (Gandalf)

'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.

'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us . . .'

The Lord of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring (Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past)
The Tales of Middle Earth RPG (I'm the owner)
The Lords of Middle Earth (I'm the ent mod)
Adventures of Sorren (I'm just a player)
The Fellowship of the Ring (I'm just a member)

But Oscar I do believe that there is a novel, being "The First King of Shannara" that was written after as a novel that took place before "Swords of Shannara"

My name...it came from my head.  I don't do much reading.

Ya making up entire worlds seems such an awesome task.  That is why I'm always so amazed at Stackpole's novels (the ones not in established series that is)  he just makes an entire new world for one or two  books, its insane!    But still impossibly cool.  

EDIT: Oscar if you want Leetah to capture Raoneth, if its ok with him, when we enconter Damien's men I could accidently drop him or something.   Also should we establish contact with them or will you handle that?

Edited by: Radaroc at: 4/11/03 4:42:49 am

Hey I think it's safe to say I can control Shaint again  YAY i'm back...and get to run around  lol

Gar, Brooks did not write First King of Shannara until way after the Shannara series was out.  The Belgararion series by Eddings is a very good series you should check it out.  The hero of the story is a boy, named Gararion.  That is why I thought you named your character after him.  Sorry I was wrong.

Rad, Raoneth would have to ok it.  Do not worry I am driving you all to a special place where Damien's men are waiting.

Keelin, mmmm.

Shaint your going to have to fight for her!!   But you can't kill him!!  And you have to be patient.  Soon my friend you and Damien will meet.  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Cool with my Oscar I still have to find some good Santharian Fighting Music  

I always use "The Bridge of Kaazad Dum" from the LOTR soundtrack.  Its such great fight/chase scene music.  

Oscar I know that he didn't write it till after, but I do believe that the story in "The First King..." fits in place before "The Sword..." if I am not mistaken...  

Easter.
I'm on vacation so right now I'm in a cafè writing.
I'm afraid I can't be expected to be on for about a week, sorry.

I'll just stay unconchious.

Hey in case anyone wants to know, I am on the live chat, if you want to chat with me.

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Ok, Shaint and the others,  The plot now thickens a bit, I want you all to find your way, by the lighted torches into Damien's palace.  To help you describe it, think of it as an enormous brick cavern, it has stone floors, tables and chairs all around.  Except where Damien is.  His floor is like a huge dais, upon which black carpet is covering it.  His throne chair is overtly large, but rather unadorned.   The table upon which he and Keelin are at is to the left of his throne chair.  It is a table that is set with a clean table cloth, the finest dishes, wine and food.  It is a table meant for Damien and his special guests, whoever that may be.  Right now it is Keelin.

Nahor is standing off in the shadows,  There are many secret exits and entrances into and out of the palace.  Some that only Damien knows about.  There are approximately a dozen male servants and about a half dozen of female ones doing Damien's bidding.  Their quarters along with his mother's, is off to the right of the throne chair.

I think that is all you need to know to describe what you see when you enter his palace.

Once you enter, just follow my lead, ok?

Shaint, no killing, maiming, or anything until I say so.

Now for Bobbo and Lucirina,  After a short brief stay at the tears, and somemore fun and games   Qui after much thought decides to go look for Rhas.  He thinks it was her that caused Oscar's supposedly demise(will talk about that later, if you read the Thirsty Heralds thread, you will notice that Oscar has returned.)  

Anyway to continue, Lucirina forces Qui to take him and Lord Bobbo, I am not sure how you want to handle your character, you can either decide to come with us and some of Qui's best men, including (what's his name, I forget his name at the moment, the one that was going to teach Luci how to throw the knives.)  Or you can stay and help the Tristan prepare for the assault upon Strata.

I think that is all for now.  If any of you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions I am open to them.  Please write them down. Ok?

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

What? Stay at the oasis and let the boys have all the fun.. I don't think so.
I am going with Qui, Bobbo and Valach. Not then wild Aj's could keep me from them  

Ok oscar i can handle that but be ready for cruel and unusual when I do get to kill,maim,stab,slice,torture... them and just remember Shaint (like me) is a Pyro-maniac lol so there might be a body bonfire.....  

*cackles evily*
Fire, precious.  Fire is our friend, it is precious.
*puts on pants, un-dialates his eyes, and straightens his spine*
BURN THINGS w00t!

I'm baaaaaack! (No one noticed I was gone so that was pointless.)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

You were?  Where to?  Wasn't that long now was it?

Welcome back anyhow *hugs Keelin* even though no one knew you were gone  

Keelin you didn't even mention you were going anywhere.  I assumed you were just busy, like the rest of us. However, Welcome back  

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

yup welcome back, never knew wyou where gone  *shaint leans over and gives Keelin kiss on cheek* "Ve'lcome v'ack child" lol

thats me in live chat... yes it is... COME TALK TO MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
*whimpers... puppy eyes*

Sorry Luci and Gararion for not getting back to you in the chat room, but after I ate, I was extremely tired and had to take a nap.  I did not wake up until almost 7PM.

For those of you who celebrate Christ's Resurrection, Happy Easter!!

Oscar Lotus
A beer in the belly is never a bad thing.

Ummm....he's still in the tomb.  Comes out tomarrow.  

Ooooh... so THAT'S why we have Easter... *always thought some demented person had just decided they needed a holiday for rabbits* *blushes and feels stupid*

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

This Is Shaint ^.^;; to lazy to log out, well I knew that *points* christian ever sence I was born...born an raised in church....

lol So natrually people think i'm wierd when I tell then my favorite past-time is playing dungeon and dragon like games with elves and magic lol

Catholicism! w00t!....well sorta I'm a little dissapointed in the church right now.  They're a very pissy bunch. >P

"The Kingdom of God is not in palaces of wood and stone, but in you and me and all around us.
Split a log and you will find Him. Lift a stone and He will be there."

Stigmata.

Wiser words have been said and ignored.
Wisedom does not necesarily come from the lips of the noble, it can be found in the simple reasoning of a child.

So....what do we do now?

Any suggestions?

Ok.... what are we going to do about Oscar... and Damien as Capher unfortunately will be leaving us now... Someone will need to replace them both until the end of the story.

I think we should try to find out where Oscar was going with the story...or at least one of should.  

 If oscar's leaving and doesent say if I can kill Damien or not I'll just kill him lol then we won't need him anymore so.....  lol but yes we should because I dunno what to do after that....

*looks at the completely insane elf* whatever Shaint  *turns and walks away*

*Completly insane elf tackles atrii and  thumps his head over and over again with his finger* "mwuehahahah"

*pokes Shaint with the fabled Pool Cue of Annoyence* Hey Shaint little respect if you please.

"AGAIN WITH THE POOL CUE??!?!?!" *grabs flame thrower and burns pool cue of annoyance to ash*

"Aha the flamethrower of charring!!"

*runs up and grabs Shaint* quick rad get another pool cue!  

*hides behind her keyboard*

*changes her mind and randomly begins throwing jellybeans at people*

I agree. We kinda need to know what's supposed to happen, else how can we know what to do?

Random statement: Read "The Silver Kiss" by Annette Curtis Klause. "Blood and Chocolate" is another good one by the same author.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

*Nods to Atrii*
"Thanks mate"
*whippes out the even more legendary Blessed Pool Cue of Annoyence*
*tossed the Chopsticks of Constant Poking to Atrii**
"Use them well"
*pokes the prone Shaint*
Hahaha
*pokes the prone Shaint...again*
Mwua-hahahahaha

Yes figuring out what to do would be a good thing.

*waves a... plastic spoon*

*jumps in whacking at random people*

*trips over Shaint*

... Ow...

So, how would we go about figuring out what to do?

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Well you can figure out what you wish to do.  I will be watching.  Got much work myself to do so I will be ready for wahtever descision yous make.  This is all I have to say at this moment...

I say "Ride on!" lets go on with the story as well as we can.  If we cannot do exactly what Oscar planned, well that comes with the territory.  So we can get the Damien and such codes from our goodly wizard Gararion.  I would have thought Shaint would have known at least some of the storyline.  I think we can keep this going with some effort people!  
*stikes heroic pose*
"Onward! To Victory"
*goes back to normal*
*takes a nap*

Yess I do know some, however only the basics Oscar did it all, I had an idea well not really mine but I talked with Gararion and Keelin but why doesent everybody just say what the would like to do in the story as for the next sequence and we will take that all into concideration add some cool,

"Freeze thou shalt not pass!" stuff and make it a storyline that way everyone gets to do 'kinda' what they want and we get a fun story.

I know I wanna kill Damien........

I'd prefer not to die or be stuck in the sewer for the rest of my life. Other than that I'll just follow along with whatever else.

Gararion is the wise one who sits back and watches you fools, heroic fools.  Though the brave are always the first to die.

But if Gararion is wise, why is he stuck with us in the first place? ^.-

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

He was in the wrong plaze at the wrong time.  Also this was the first RP he was in     Happened in the tavern, I just followed along.  Oscar was the one ho got me in it as well  

Wait till I get home from school and I'll find some quote against yours!

against whos?

"Rmoe, remeo, let down thine hair"

whoops.....wrong stories  owell

May you rest peacfully my friend, for your ressurection soon shall come.

shouldn't that be "thy hair"?

Anyway, I'm back... And the story's slowed down considerably... anyone know what's supposed to happen?

ask Shaint....

mkay... Shaint? You know what's supposed to happen?
 

Danget, can't handle all this dang weight on my back,

No Raoneth I don't Oscar kept the whole things running AND HE LEFT!!!!!!

Now I'm pissed and Sad and have to keep up with 10 other RPG's and run this storyline and no one seems to be helping ANY....gah! *slumps down in corner and breathes into paper back* "must....Breathe"

I would help but I have many other things to do young shaint  

Well, I haven't even been following the paralell storylines too mutch so I'd be of very little help. I think it's very possible that we'll have to consider this story doomed and just find a way to tie up the loose ends and be gone...

But we do need to do that, though, I've written too much on this for it to be for naught.

How about this, "In a quick a brutal fight to the death, Shaint defeats Damien without a problem.  In a mad dash throught the city our heros triumph over all comers, who attack them for the bounty on their heads.  Fighting through the tower they reach the Authorities, kill them.  Reinstate Bobbo and the Tristan.  All the members of the party a richly rewarded, expecially Radaroc, (and not just because of his dashing good looks!) our heros then trade emails and addresses, promise to keep in touch and go their sepreate ways.  And Shaint gets slapped after keeping "in touch" with Keelin.
THE END"
*pant*
*gasp*

LOL!

Uhm... well I think that's the basic idea, but we might want to... erm... spread it out some.

Breathe Radaroc, breathe. ^.-

Bobbo, Luci I dearly hope one of you has some sort of idea where Oscar was taking your side of the story because it appears the rest of us don't. I'm not even sure where you guys are right now.

Okay, so our basic goals are: kill Damien, get out of the sewer, get out of the city, meet up with the Tristans group, and then get rid of Troas somehow, correct? I think we can deal with that.  

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

The other alternative: Damien (and his horde of goons and brownes. Don't forget the horde of goons and brownies) attack and we, by some twist of fate, manage to escape...

We tell the town guard that there are lots of criminals in the sewers, they've been bribed by Damien and the gang, so they try to kill us and we run away.

Or we trade Keelin for our freedom and run away, that'll be the realistic option  

well whatever, let's choose something and get everything rolling again.

'Tis a very sad thing that Oscar has gone. Very well, Lucirina I believe that I can take his place on our side of the story if it is okay with you. Besides, it kinda would make sense, me being the nobleman and all.  Go ahead and take over Qui, because it would make me sick to play the character my girl is cheating on me with.      . Tell me if you have any ideas now. I'd like to meet up with the others soon, because two people on a storyline doesn't always work.

'... Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.' (Gandalf)

'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.

'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us . . .'

The Lord of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring (Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past)
The Tales of Middle Earth RPG (I'm the owner)
The Lords of Middle Earth (I'm the ent mod)
Adventures of Sorren (I'm just a player)
The Fellowship of the Ring (I'm just a member)

Yup.

I suppose I should  post something now.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!

Ok Bobbo what I was thinking was, once we get past Damien (shouldn't take too much longer) we go through the sewers and eventually pop out near the harbor.  You get the Tristan's group and such heading toward Strata.  As we flee Troas's army/murderous citizens, you guys come to our rescue.  Then we head back to Strata, we besiege, chaos ensues.  Our group, you, Luci, and Qui or somebody head in to take out Troas.  The fire druid shows up Luci takes her down.  We get to Troas.....aaaand like that.

So what do ya all think?

That would work. That would work very nicely...

There isn't enough time to do everything and too much time to do nothing.

*crawls out of the dark corner she has been hiding in for many days now*

Can you tell me Rad.. how is Luci, a simple bard, going to kill Rhas that deep fried her own master.
Ok.. she mannaged to take on Issrah but that was only due to the element of suprise and probably the magic in the fortress also had something to do with that.
She would probably get VERY killed if she even tried to get close ro Rhas

About Luci and Qui... I am not good in romancing with myself  but I´ll try as good as I can.. I´ve been kind of down lately and  that is the main reason why I haven't been posting....
I wish Oscar had told me what plans he had respecting the Tristan and the resistance... would have made it easier to post

  Gee, I don't know earlier you had mentioned something like that I thought....I know Gar can help!  Or to solve said troublesome love triangle, Qui sacrifices himself to save you.  

EDIT:OK I can't post until late tonight as I'm going to a MxPx concert! Booya!  soooo ya, Luci would this fix it?
*points up*

Edited by: Radaroc at: 4/30/03 11:33:38 pm

Awesome rad! MxPx isn't my favourite... but they are still great

Have fun dude!

w00t!  It was kickin' my friend.  The first band sucked(really they had 5 songs and only sang in 2 of them), but it was local so what can you expect.  The second band were some guys from Wisconsin called Last Place Champs (bought a button) they had one of the best guitarists I've heard in a looong time.  Then MxPx showed and the real moshing began.  Got a big bruise on my arm but it was worth it!  Also for the first time I went crowd surfing, holy hotcakes batman that kicked ass.   Got some more buttons and a patch, my friends got their shoes and wallet signed by MxPx, so Chris (huge MxPx fan) was twitching the rest of the night.   So there ya go my night summerized.  

Sounds awesome dude. I have to learn the song Ruby Soho on bass... almost have it perfect... I'll need it to be perfect by Tuesday... my band is auditioning for a position in my school's talent show

Wish me luck
