Bumping to the top...
I am ready to go!!! by the way...after Spree's subplt, are we going to do Kaz's onehttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/rand.gif I want her to be whole and sain and stuff... Also, am I supposed to come up with one to do in a few weeks, since everyone else is taking shots at it? Then after mine, we can allow others to come in and we run a game with them? just some thoughtsssssssssssssssssss |
(ooc: So Kaz is not quite recovered yet? How do we make her well? Spree - how long is your subplot (does this Maverick join the group forever or does he leave after a while)?
I'm asking because as I've said, I've designed a mini-quest which all can participate in if they're interested. Either that, or just Larry will have to come along since he's promised never to leave Mistral. EDIT: Just to add that the quest does not involve additional characters, it's a straightforward one. And I would prefer not to have more members than the original group + Maverick doing it. Otherwise, it loses its challenge.) [This message has been edited by mistral4543 (edited 10-26-2001).] |
Finally, she looks up from her position. Realising that the previous scene had been witnessed by every passer-by, she blushes deeply. ~ What will they all... even Larry... think of me... ~ She hurriedly steps out of the embrace and addresses both Larry and Kaz with a serious expression on her face ~
<font color="lightgreen">"After I woke up from my long sleep, I was asked by the Temple of Mystra to help obtain some valuable artifact for them. Having been healed by them, I readily agreed to do so, although I have not much idea what this artifact is and where it lies. All I've been told is that it is located in a cave around this area. I was actually on my way there before I met the both of you..."</font> ~ She pauses to take a breath before continuing ~ <font color="lightgreen">"I've given my word and therefore I shall go. I am not sure about the both of you, especially Kaz... you still seem rather weak and tired, and I would not want to wear you out. While I have not been given a timeframe, I know the temple is anxious to gain possession of the artifact."</font> ~ With her task at hand relayed, she takes a step back to await their replies. |
say you...
Say me... Say for always... That's the way it should be.... She's gotta smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood...memories, and everything was as fresh as the bright-blue sky!!... Now and then when I see her face, she takes me away to that...special place and if I stare to long...I'd probably break down and cry... Ohh...oooo...sweet child of mine!! <font color="white">(sorry, just waiting for something to happen...)</font> Mari es mi amor... Solo con ella vivo la felizidad... Yo se que nunca nadie mas pudria amar... Porque te quiro, es verdad! |
OOC...Aha! We now have action!
Well...let's see...Maybe my character would find out if Spree would join us, ...I wish she were here, so we could start her epic drama...yet if she does not show up...I don't wanna just waste time, unless we go back to kissing again.(hehe)... hmmm... Let me say this...tommmorow I will be very busy most of the day, though I intend on leaving the PC on all day, just to run in here and see what is going on. But if my wife catches me staying on here too long tommorow and not doing my promised chores...well...well... Anyway, I am free for tonight, so let's do something! I do not want to waste tonight if you, Mistral, will be here with me ... EDIT...what I was trying to actually say is, do you want to run through this tonight, and get into it good, then have Kaz run off to tell Spree where we went so she can come after us??? [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-26-2001).] |
OOC...
...nevermind... EDIT...<font color="skyblue">Hellooo????????? Larry: Hears echo... Sadness enters the game... Larry: Feeling of hoplessness... Larry: Save vs hoplessness... Larry: Casts spell~ "Good idea"... Larry: Returns to kissing on the girl... Larry: Level up!</font> [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-26-2001).] |
(ooc: Sorry, just called away by boss... can u stay up late? We'll finish the quest in say 3 hours?)
|
I am wondering when everyone will be logging on.
My guess... Mistral...within one hour from now, or not at all during my waking hours. Spree...not tonight...probably in 4-5 hours from now. Kaz...Probably not tonight...maybe sick from tooth and related things... Deiter...presumed dead. ~yawn~ I do not know how much longer I can go tonight... Maybe the fun will begin on the morrow... I hope I can be here in a sancranized time with each of you, as you all have the whole day to yourself, while I labor like a slave...http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif EDIT...I am with ya! 3 hours [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-26-2001).] |
(OOC: Your turn to respond. She was waiting for your reply, before you went a bit bonkers after that... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif )
|
<font color="silver">Larry looks back at Kaz and smiles...</font>
<font color="white">"Go let Spree know that we miss her, and hope to see her soon! We will be back soon, and meet you here on this same bridge."</font> <font color="silver">With that said, Larry turns to Mistral and smiles...</font> <font color="white">"Lead on"!</font> |
"There's not a moment to lose, then!" ~ Saying, she grasps Larry's hand and begins on one of her famous sprints, towing him to the forest she had earlier entered. With both of them wearing the boots of speed, they reach the forest within twenty minutes.
As they comb the area, they discover the varieties of wild plants growing in the forest. Finally, they reach the bottom of a gentle slope. Together, they climb the slope and she begins pulling aside wild grasses. She gives a cry of surprise as she uncovers the entrance to a cave. (ooc: Let me give you the description of what goes on in the cave; it's full of obstacles and traps. I'll your character react first, then play Mistral. OK? It's your turn now.) |
<font color="silver">Seeing the entrance to the cave, Larry turns his attentions to the glowing sword at his side. She had begun to glow slightly brighter, and become cooler to the touch. This signafied that there was definately magic at work in that hole. Licking his lips in anticipation, Larry responded,</font>
<font color="white">"Oh, how a love a good adventure"! How do you feel about our next few steps? Shouldn't you take this poison control ring to your inventory now"?</font> |
She puts on the ring smilingly, and they enter the cave... all is silent. Too silent. Mistral motions for Larry to stand back as she takes a few steps forward...
As she walks down the corridor, lightning bolts and acid arrows fly towards her. The air suddenly bursts with a myriad of colours and fumes as deadly spells assault her. She walks on confidently in the knowledge that her cloak of mirroring is reflecting all the magical attacks. Finally, there is a loud explosion and all the spells surrounding the area cease. She turns to Larry, gesturing for him to step forward. ~ "There are two paths now, Larry; one to the left, and one to the right. Which one shall we take?" ~ |
<font color="silver">Larry, shaken up from the awsome scene of watching magic death rain down upon his love and be turned away was still working at his nerves. At length, he said...</font>
<font color="white">"I prefer the left tunnel, as everyone always chooses the right...right?"</font> Edit...do you want me to write more depth, or do you prefer to guide the story securely alone, an I just react to what is presented??? I am fine, either way, but do not want to throw us in the wrong direction of your plans... [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-26-2001).] |
As they walk down the path, they stumble on a rotting corpse. Her eyes narrow as she detects a shining object hanging loosely from its pocket, and she scoops up the item. ~ "It's some sort of an amulet... I think we'd better not wear it, in case something happens." ~
Suddenly, the air begins to ring ominously and they perceive a swinging scythe in front of their path. Beyond it, Mistral detects a pool of water glowing. ~"I think there's something beyond this darn trap." ~ Her sharp eyes detect something else. ~ "There's a lever beyond this scythe. If we can cross it and pull it, I think this will stop its deadly rhythm." ~ |
<font color="white">Then allow me...if it pleases milady...</font>
<font color="silver">Larry draws Nightblade out, and begins to creep foward...,</font> EDIT...I shoud ask, what exactly do I see, DM??? [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-26-2001).] |

ooc: You see a swinging scythe, and Mistral has mentioned something glowing and a lever to stop the scythe. But first, you have to cross over to pull the lever. How are you going to do it? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
|
<font color="silver">Larry walked over to the edge of safety, and looked with determination at his goal. Wishing he could have Nightblade just float over there, and pop the lever would be nice, but she only responds to battle...not errands...so he picked up a rock on the ground and tossed it onto the left side of the cave, close to the swinging thingy...
then, he took another rock, and sent it just a little further ahead, on the other side of the trap. Sending one more rock over to the other side, Larry knew he at least had a safe path, as the rocks marked spots that were proven non-trappy. Sheathing Nightblade, he got right up on the rock that was laid first, counted the moments in between swings for movement, then, as the scythe arched passed, Larry hasted across to the next rock in the safe zone. Then he skipped to the next. Drawing his blade out, and checking for magic, he grasped the handle of the lever, looked at Mistral, blew a kiss, then pulled the lever...</font> |
She rushes over to him and shyly plants a kiss on his right cheek, before dashing to the pool. She hesitates for only a moment before plunging her hand in... and draws out a bauble. ~ As she walks back towards him, she notices a crevice in the walls and reaches in to extract a rusty key. ~ "Shall we go back on our tracks? ~
They make their way back but discover a dead end. Mistral frowns and walks a little further down their original northbound path. She gives a little scream as her feet brush against some gravel, which plunges to the depth of a ravine. Staggering back, she points the huge divide to Larry. ~"We've to cross this ravine to the other side... there is a protuding piece of rock on both sides." ~ Draws out her rope to Larry ~ "Are you good with knots, Larry? I think we've to somehow swing our way over..." ~ |
<font color="silver">Larry takes the rope and ties one end of it to the hilt of Nightblade. He looks close at the area on the other side until he can barely see a notch in the rocks that make up the wall on the other side. Grinning at Mistral, he focuses on the crevice, while muttering...something about Isabeau then sends Nightblade screaming off to bury herself into the notch. Taking Mistral by the waist, Larry holds his end of the rope with his left hand, then jumps off the edge. They fall down and toward the opposite ravine wall. Larry extended his feet out to stop the impact, then having Spree hold onto his body with both hands, began to climb hand over hand up the rope.
Once he got to the top, he asks Mistral to climb on up the wall, as shse readily does. Larry next pulls himself up, releases Nightblade from her creveice, unties the knot, and hands it back to Mistral.</font> <font color="white">"Nothing can stop a man and his blade!" Come on, let's get going before something crawls out of that ravine deciding it's hungry."</font> ooc...I need more work on my expository writing, don't I? [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-27-2001).] |
(ooc: Time for some feedback, Larry... are you finding this fun/challenging enough?? I don't mind if we can't finish today if you have to go to bed early... just let me know your preference, okie?)

I do enjoy the opportunity to see a problem, and creatively come up with a solution. The ravine had me baffled, so I had to break the rules a bit with my sword of many wonders...but I was at least able to write it creatively. It is challenging to my wits and very fun. Thank you for inquiring. The truth is...I am pretty much asleep already. My eyes are aching from the torture I am putting them through, as well as my senses are handicapped through my lack of alertness... in shorter words...I am sleepy, and may need to go on to bed, being able to do less posting in the morning, but more meaningful ones ... What say ye?</font> |
Eagerly, she runs down the left path hoping to locate some new clues. But her search only results in the following items, which she hands to Larry: 20 arrow of lightning, 20 arrows of biting, 20 arrows or fire and a composite bow + 2.
She then hurries down the right path, but again... ~ "It's a dead end." ~ She sighs, returning to him. Together, they tread carefully until they reach a massive boulder obstructing their path ahead. Out of the boulder juts out the bust of a lady. ~"What do you think we should do?" ~ She turns questioningly to Larry ~ (ooc: Your writing is fine, stop worrying so much http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif) |

<font color="silver">Looking at Mistral for her question, he shrugs and says:</font>
<font color="white">"Maybe cover them up? Or...hey ...Where is that necklace thing you found? What if we placed it around the boulder, as if hanging it on a woman's neck? Do you think it has magical properties"?</font> |
Hey look! I am Anubis, with a microphone!
Yeah...if you want to postpone the entire game until tommorow night about this same time...(or a few hours earlier), it would be great. I will post tommorow exactly when I will be around, and you can check up on my posts to see what is going on. Post more story if you like, to give me something to work on. Spree's side of the story should be fine, for the fact that Kaz is to meet up with her...and explain our whereabouts. |
(ooc: Just so you can go to bed feeling extra happy... don't respond after this until you're really in the mood to do so)
Nodding her agreement, she pulls out the amulet and gently places it around the figurine's neck. There is a deafening sound and the earth begins to tremble... the boulder splits apart to reveal a further passage ahead. Excitement grips her and she grins at Larry ~ "You're fantastic!" ~ |
OOC...Can't go to bed without this...
<font color="silver">Sweeping Mistral into his arms, he gives her another earth shattering, electrifying kiss.</font> ps...congratulations on http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/NonCGI/drizzt.gif I am signing off now... ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...ges/larry2.gif 3rd Member of the Ancient OHF Diamond Ranger of the ALSB (secretarial position & Ambassador) Father of the wicked but cute child known as MaryBeth http://sc.communities.msn.com/tn/02/...Site/1/190.jpg Padre de una niña bien traviosa pero guapa --------------------- Aisukuríimu ga tabetái desu. |
Caught again in the whirlwind of emotions spiralling within her being, her thoughts run wild as she reaches to stroke the sides of his face gently ~ What a tremendous quake I'm undergoing...why, I practically feel the ground shaking...~ She decides to indulge in her curiousity and opens her eyes for once. Seeing the expression on Larry's face, she smiles blissfully and glances casually out of the corner of her right eye...
With a cry, she jerks free of the embrace and hauls him towards the revealed route as the other end of the ravine collapses. Turning to Larry, she nods at his look of alarm and voices the inevitable ~ "Yes, the entrance is sealed. No one will be able to come in to find us. Not Kaz, not Deiter and not Spree. There's no turning back now..." ~ They gaze at each other for a moment before heading northwards, up the passage. [This message has been edited by mistral4543 (edited 10-27-2001).] |
Stepping gingerly along the passage, Mistral discovers that the ground is now smoother - in fact, marble-like - and she listens to her footsteps echoing down the hallway. The corridor extends for another twenty feet before it comes to a bend. As she runs her fingers along the walls, she halts as they come across a fist-sized hole. Reaching in carefully with her left hand, she pulls out a ring ~ "Look, a ring of cold resistance! I've read somewhere that these are rare... they grant 100% resistance to all damage caused by cold elements." ~ The ring winks in the soft yellow light ~ "You should have this, Larry." ~ She hands it to him ~ "I've a feeling we'll be needing this somewhere along this hunt." ~
|
Larry puts on the ring and they turn around the bend. Moments later, they reach a square-sized room. There are no visible doors or exits from the room, and it appears to be another dead end. And yet...
In the centre of the room, a raised platform bears two figures in a kneeling position. Drawing closer, Larry and Mistral discover the remarkably lifelike expressions on the figures. ~ If they weren't made of stone, I'd swear they were alive! ~ Mistral shivers ~ An urn is placed before each of the figures, but there the similarity ends. The left urn gleams with a blood red hue, and Mistral fingers the intricate patterns on it ~ "It's nightshade; a spell component that is deadly." ~ She turns to the right urn which shines with an onyx black shade and again traces the markings on it. Shuddering, she remarks ~ "Mummies... you know, those creepy things that crawl out of sarcophagi." ~ Noticing the parchment lying between the figures, Mistral reaches for it and reads the wordings aloud ~ <font color="lightblue">"A simple game To think about Reverse the keys And then you're out."</font> Looking up, she surveys the eeriely silent room once again. ~ I hope Larry comes up with a solution before I do... the air is becoming stale... ~ (ooc: Larry, <font color="lightgreen">at any point in this mini-quest</font>, if you require hints or just want the solution to be provided by Mistral, you just have to post your character's action and I'll take it up from there.

OOC: Hi! I'm back! BTW Larry, when you said that about me not being there because I wasn't feeling well because of my tooth (which was true) it was 6 in the morning my time. This is WEEKEND, okay? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
<font color="ghostwhite">Kaz looked in surprise at the two leaving quickly. She said: "Wait!" but they didn't hear. She would not have minded them going off and her looking for Spree - she still felt weak and... uneasy somehow - except for one thing - the portal stone in Larry's pack. Several hours later, she was looking around the city. Was Spree still in the underwater palace? Or had she come up here as well?</font> OOC: My subquest would be to find and KILL that demon. Because Kaz is still being affected by him. You'll find out next time she sleeps... But before we do that, I'd best familiarize myself with the BG2 rules and play a bit more http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif and also do the first draft for the subplot. Should it be a very long one? BTW, Larry, some people are getting impatient and want to join. Maybe we should consider them sending their applications in already and us deciding who we want and who we DON'T want? And then figuring out when and how to let them join. Because, frankly, we're not going to get a tavern open until some time next year at this rate... [This message has been edited by Kaz (edited 10-27-2001).] |

~The pair treads down the corridor, their voices echoing merrily through the caverns and caves.~ <font color=green>~She fondly ruffles the elf's hair, stepping to the other side of the stone hall.~ "I was young, WE were young! How can you blame me for something that happend so long ago?!" ~Her long-lost laughter trails to any ears within the caves, though un-intentionally.~ <font color=silver>~He shrugs his shoulders, a wide grin still across his face. His hand rises to traces the diagonal scar.~ "It WAS your idea to play with those blasted daggers Chani, you can't deny it." ~His medolic laughter joins hers in a symphony of jovial qualities.~ <font color=green>~Her eyes avert to him, narrowing to cat-like slits.~ "As I recall, Maverick, the whole idea was yours." ~Her feet continue to carry her at a steady pace.~ <font color=silver>~He throws his hands back in mock dissaray.~ "O' now lass! Why don't we just blame it on Arrakis while we're at it? Or maybe Li for so un-specifically telling you not to mess with the keys he left on the table!" <font color=green>~She glares, throwing the wood-elf a smirk.~ "All right, maybe that detail was mine. But it was your own fault for fighting so poorly as for me to slash you 'cross the face." ~Her torso shakes in held back snickering.~ <font color=silver>~A sideways glance is given to her. They reach a crossroad and he stops her, turning and looking her straight in the eye.~ "I never did get you back for that." ~He slyly turns back to the crossroads.~ "Which way m'lady?" <font color=green>~She examines each passageway's entrance, noting there was absolutely no difference other than direction. She shrugs her shoulders and turns back to Maverick.~ "Hell, why not right? That should be right, no?" ~She gives a weak grin to the pun and starts down the passageway.~ [This message has been edited by Killing Spree (edited 10-27-2001).] |
OOC: I take it that means Larry and Mistral are wandering some caves to recover something, Spree and Maverick are somewhere under the palace and poor Kaz is looking for someone to turn up. Right?
|
ooc: Kaz - I was under the impression that Spree and Maverick are out of the sea-elven palace but not in the city itself... maybe we'd better confirm with Spree... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Quote:
BTW, any idea on how to kill Gauths without the Cloak of Mirrorring? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif I'm kind of stuck... |
To Kaz: As to your quest...let us take it up after we discover Spree's intentions and I think it would be ok to be long, as this demon should be powerful, right?
To the others that want to join...let Mistral and I get out of this cave...Let us discover what Spree intends to involve in her sub-plot, and then we will tak one or two people with us to fight your demon. We will have them meet us somewhere and we will hire their help or something to that effect. But let us get ourselves stabalized. Does everyone agree? To Mistral: Give me a while to work on that...I printed it out, and will carry it around with me today, to study it in my mind. When I am ready to post tonight, I will have your answer. Is that acceptable? To Spree: If you could meet up with Kaz and keep her company, until she goes into another seizure-type fit...that would be cool. Just don't let Maverick touch her...I gotta keep her safe, too!http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif |

~The pair walks steadily up a flight of stone stairs and into the warmth and hustle of the city.~ <font color=silver>~His black eyes look contentadely at colorful banners and merry folk. He turns back to Chani, giving an extravegant bow.~ "Welcome to my humble home m'lady, Athkatla." ~He straightens himself and half smiles at her, watching her facial expressions.~ <font color=green>~Her eyes jump about in awe.~ "I can't remember the last time I came so far south as Amn's capital..." ~Her blue-gray eyes return to Maverick.~ "Where exactly are we going?" <font color=silver>~His face brightens, knowing he had something that would please his saddend friend.~ "Docks district. I have some friends who will find your comrades for you. If they're in the city, you'll have them by your side again by the end of the day." <font color=green>~She nods her head enthusiastically.~ "My sincerest thanks Maverick..." ~She looks down at her stomach as it growls ferociously. Her cheeks turn a somewhat embarassed red.~ "Ummmm... Do you think perhaps we could eat first? I mean... Maybe you could point me to a tavern? I... I don't want to trouble you any more and I'm sure I could..." <font color=silver>~He silences her.~ "I'm taking you to the best restaurant in the city." ~He silences her protest stubbornly.~ "Eh... No questions." ~He loops his arm in hers and sets off at a jaunty step, mocking and immitating the nobles they passed as they headed to the bridge district.~ |
