Hmmm...I can't do it like Mistral, but...
When we last left our heroes:
Larry_OHF (to give him his full name) was moddishly trying to decide if we really killed Syla or just a decoy, and threatening TAO with stalking ;)
Julano was walking off in a snit, which is pretty cold of him since he is really a Necromancer in disguise of his brother [img]smile.gif[/img]
TAO, Blandamour, and moi are staring at Julano, trying to decide if we should follow him or just kill him. :D
Sorsha is in a convent or something
Raymond and Isaura are off lovebirding someplace
Delita and 250 are MIA :eek:
and, Britomart is up to something baaaad [img]graemlins/hidesbehindsofa.gif[/img]
Rrang is guarding Sorsha [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

[ 02-22-2002: Message edited by: Galadria ]</p>

I don't know if 250 will be back to IW, Galadria. He mentioned something to that effect last week while we were AIMing.

BLANDAMOUR (takes three long strides to Julano, and grabs him by the hood of his robe) "Just a minute, there. You just answer the lady's questions, or I'll make a dent in your hat that even a wizard will fid it hard to deal with." (he thinks that he heard that somewhere)

<font color="cyan"> Walks up behind Blandamour, and grabs his shoulder armor, leaning him down so she can whisper in his ear....~hold, freind knight, do not be too hasty....let him go, and we will follow him...you catch more bees, if you follow them back to the hive, hmmmmmmm?~</font>

BLANDAMOUR (to TAO) "Uh..okay." (releases cloak) "All right, you are free to go."

OOC: If you want to know how he spends his day, that's fine by me. Don't expect too much though, Julano can't do any shapechanging until nightfall and I've got something planned for when that happens ;)

IC: <font color="DDDD22">Julano

He made his way back to the village of Witchy Wood. This day his attempt had failed, but he was certain that tomorrow he would have woven his spells more tightly, and noone would be able to sense his true nature. For now, he would have to make sure the villagers would not notice the mayor's son had disappeared.
As Lohran, he walked the few dusty streets of the village, waving at the people as he passed by, exchanging a few friendly words as he had so often seen his brother do.
He entered the inn at the urging of Genna, hte innkeeper's wife, to 'sample the bread' she had just freshly baked. Between bites, he told her what had happened in the woods, about how rude the people sent by the order were, knowing that she'd spread the word so others would keep to themselves and mutter about how the order cared not for isolated people like themselves.
By the time the sun was starting it's descent, he got up and thanked Genna for the food. Avoiding the common room, Julano once more walked out on the street, heading off towards the mayor's house.</font>

OOC>>> :D
You're gonna pay for killing my little vampie!

IC>>><font color=skyblue>

That night, the two vampires made their way to the home of Julano under the cover of darkness. Thye were not seen as they entered the home and waited their master's arrival in the darkened but candle lit room. </font>

(OOC: Any room for another character in this RP?)

OOC>>>Yes! It is open to all.

OOC: Yes, do join us [img]smile.gif[/img]
the rules: your character only knows what he or she can know, and you cannt control nor kill another palyer's character without permission (and get away with it ;) )

IC: <font color="DDDD22">Julano

He entered the room wearing his own skin again, and sat down opposite the two vampires.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a strange powder into the flame. The flame grew in size and intensity, lighting the room with it's dark green glow.

He addressed them with his own crude voice.
"You. What news do you bring? Make it quick, I'm in a hurry."</font>

(OOC: Very well then, I shall post some info on my character later, mind giving me some short descriptions of who everyone is, where everyone is?)

Let's see...
Mistral's characters:
Sorsha - A young girl who has just discovered she is the daughter of the former king. She now spends her time in a monestary because she thinks it's the right thing to do
Dalben - An old mage who had served under the king and decided to look after Sorsha. After Sorsha entered the monestary, he dissapeared
Isaura - An exotic woman currently roaming about with one of Larry's characters
Eliza - Daughter of the man who opposed Sorsha's father, spoiled brat and a bard, Eliza is currently traveling with Vane
Vane - A boy from Eliza's youth, madly in love with her...
Besides that, she has three dead characters, Damien, Gavrouche and an undead woman named Katrina who lost what was left of her life in a mind transplant...

TAOwolf's character:
KayLisa - An ancient shapeshifting druid, following the lady Galadria at the moment

Attalus' character:
Blandamour - A paladin with an eye on Galadria, but too afraid to tell her (same goes the other way around)

Galadria's characters:
Galadria - A paladin in pink armour leading the band of adventurers as they travel through the forest around Witchy Wood, in search of the victims of the vampire Syla
Bitromart - Galadria's rather evil sister who is off somewhere

Larry's characters:
Raymond - Former farmboy and now would-be adventurer gone off with Isaura
Azure - A girl who has lost her two closest friends (one by her own hand after he betrayed them) and is now going somewhere all by herself
Also a number of vampires and an evil wannabe king who posts in green named Bazguul.
On top of that, Larry has three dead characters, Jaime, Snake and (appearantly) Syla.

250's character:
Osprey Mirroreagle or Mirroreagke or Miroreagke depending on which post you trust to be spelled right - A stuttering mage who died after a failed mind transplant

Holy Knight Delita's character:
Delita Hyral- a paladin who teamed up with Galadria and is now in the woods as well

My characters:
Legolas - a ranger who has spent some time with Sorsha before moving off to see some old friends, but is now on his way back
Rrang - Another ranger, this one has grown up among wolves, who protected Sorsha in Legolas' absence and is now waiting outside the monestary gates.
Ni Deng - an old monk who claims to be a gardener. He was at his own monestary not too long ago but has just left on a journey somewhere else...
Julano - A necromancer who is trying to absorb the powers of either TAOwolf or Galadria
Besides that, we have Get, a wizard who died in the same maze as Osprey

And now, we also have

Neb's character:
Raeth - A monk-like character, swift and skilled in fighting with his bare hands

and

Regin's character:
Gil-Gandil - an Elven Kensai who travels with Raeth. The two are planning to team up with Galadria's band


Did I get everyone? Probably not, but these are all you 'need' to know about.

The biggest and most active group is that of Galadria, Bitromart, Delita and TAOwolf, who are following Julano as he goes about his daily life

[ 02-22-2002: Message edited by: Legolas ]</p>

OOC>> Good job, Legolas. IC>>
GALADRIA (She sneaks up to the mysterious house and listens at the window. She hisses to TAO and Blandamour) "Whoever he is, he has accomplices or subordinates."

(OOC: Okay, here's my character, tell me if he sounds too Uber, his name is Raeth, he dresses in perfect black clothing which covers all of his body, including most of his face.

He wields no weapons but is instead highly skilled in martial arts, as well as surprisingly agile and has picked up a varied lot of skills, he has only one ability which is "magical".

This ability is the ability to boost his "luck" for a short while by meditating for a few seconds, for example allowing him to dodge many attacks in battle or playing an instrument perfectly, drawing good cards when gambling, the only problem with this ability is the after-effect, which is the reason that he rarely uses it.

Somewhere between a few seconds and an hour later he suffers from some SERIOUS bad luck, he'll trip over pebbles, bowstrings will snap if he as much as tries to pull them, he'll cut himself on anything sharp that he gets near, horses will kick out and hit him, this luckily only lasts for a short while.

His appearance is not unusual in any way, he's 5 foot 9-10(About 180 cm) and of medium build, he's neither overly muscular or overly weak, he has grey-blue eyes and blonde hair.

Does this fellow sound too uber to any of you? His ability too powerful?)

OOC> This seems like fun thread...mind if I join in?

OOC>>Neb, he sounds fine. Write yourself in, wherever. Welcome, ReGin, see the last few posts. Post your character.

[ 02-22-2002: Message edited by: Galadria ]</p>

OOC: Not at all Regin, not at all [img]smile.gif[/img]
And Neb, he's not too uber [img]smile.gif[/img] Ni Deng is much the same, although he has not yet had a chance to show his real powers to others (he doesn't even want to, in fact ;) )

But besides making the character itself, who doesn't have to be that well defined, it's the history that's important. That and the character's character should determine what he or she does, most of the time.
You don't have to tell us the history, as long as you have a vague idea yourself and try to be a little consistent.
It all helps in the creation of a realistic fantasyworld [img]smile.gif[/img]

(OOC: Regin, perhaps our characters could be a pair of heroic adventurers? [img]tongue.gif[/img] Working together for the good of all and to cleanse the world of evil? [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Are you serious? Hard to tell with the [img]tongue.gif[/img] 's ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]
But I like that idea...hmm..
Anyway here's my char;
<font color="pink">Gil-Gandil
An elven kensai who has lived in the vast forests near the Ulandil mountains..
He is 854 years old and has lived peacefully in his little elven village most of his life.
But three years ago, an accident occured while Gil-Gandil was away, resulting in his family, along with most of the village, getting burnt alive.
Gil-Gandil has travelled the roads ever since.
He has survived mainly by working on various farms along the road, but he travels with no destination..
He has no real purpose in his life, except for survival..
He still mourns his family deeply, but deep inside, he wouldl ike to have something to fight for, to compensate for the sheltered life he has lived so far..
He has but one possesion, an old katana, given to his grand-father by a man he helped with some mildew problems in the man's house, for about a thousand years ago..
The thing was that it was still sharp, even though it had spent most of it's time in a box up in the addic(sp?), but it was the only thing in his house that had survived the fire..
He is very potent with this weapon..
He recieved training in the arts of fighting by an old kensai-warrior who lived in his village.
</font>
So what do you say Neb, should we combine them?

(OOC: Sounds good to me [img]smile.gif[/img] Feel free to start it off [img]smile.gif[/img] )

OOC>Okay Neb, hope you don't mind if I role-play your character a bit?

IC>*Scruffy looking place* Gil-Gandil says as he walks through the gates of the largest city around, Utrae. The streets were covered in leperds and beggars, and the occasional preist getting beaten up in a an alley..
He reminded himself that he should leave as fast as possible..
A man had entered the gate at the same time as he had, they had nodded politely to eachother, but nothing more..(OOC>that's you Neb ;) )
The man had looked like a fighter, and Gil-Gandil was always a bit suspicious towards those types..you never knew where their loyalty was.
He stopped to give a few pennys to a begging woman with a child, but as soon as he opened his pouch, revealing the few coins he had, five men jumped on him from the shadows of the wall, and one punched him rapidly (sp?) in the face as another man searched Gil-Gandil's pockets..
*Get off him!* the voice clearly belonged to a big man and made the robbers turn instantly, and the one that had been hitting Gil-Gandil got off him, letting him rise..
*Now walk away, and don't bother us again* the man said, Gil-Gandil recognized him as the one that had followed him into the city.
*'ere, you shouldn't be talking like that, nobody knows what could happen!* one of the robbers said..
There was a thump as one of the robbers head hit the ground, with it's body three feet away..Gil-Gandil wiped the blood off his katana.
*Anyone else?* he said, the robbers had had enough, and scattered in different directions..
Gil-Gandil walked up to the man who had saved him, and reached out his hand, *I'm Gil-Gandil, pleasure to meet you, sir! I'm afraid those robbers caught me off the guard. Lucky thing you were around!What do you say we get a pint and talk some more?*

OOC>Any objections Neb?

(OOC: No objections, but don't expect Raeth to ask people to stop before he starts cracking skulls every time [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Raeth shook Gil's hand, "Sounds good to me," said the human, "Do you know a good place for that around here? I fear I'm new to this town."

While waiting for Gil to answer Raeth briefly searches the dead robber's corpse for any money, he finds none, but he does find a nice dagger which seems good for throwing, he picks this up and puts it in his pack.

OOC> LOL :D OKay :D

IC>Takes Raeth's hand *Raeth, aye? Well, I belive I saw an inn as I entered the town, 'The raging bull' I belive it was called, let's seek it out!*
As they reached the inn, and had ordered their pints, Gil-Gandil took up conversation first, *So Raeth, what do you do for a living?*

"Well, depends on my mood, often I work as a mercenary, though the job doesn't appeal to me, other times I've taken up the role of adventurer and joined a party in their search for riches and fame." Neb takes a drink from his beer.

"I mainly just wander without doing anything though, live off of the land, what about you?"

*Oh pretty much the same, live off the land..*
Was this possible, the coincidence that the two had met in this city..
This wasn't a possibility he could miss,this was what he had always wanted, it was time to take some chances!
*Umm, maybe life will be easier if we travel together? We could make a real name for ourselves..what say you?*

[ 02-22-2002: Message edited by: Sir ReGiN ]</p>

"Hmmmm..... An interesting proposal," replied Raeth, "Let's do it, it will be safer to travel the roads when we are two." Raeth drained his mug and stood, "Now where shall we begin?"

*Well, you move quickly, don't you? But if I recall correctly, a farmer I met recently told me of some adventurers hunting some vampires in the vicinity..
Perhaps we should seek them out?*

"Sounds like a plan, now how shall we find them? Just search the area? Ask around?"

<font color="DDDD22">Julano

Having obtained the extremely interesting information from the vampires</font> (which Larry will no doubt let me know about in an OOC ;) ) <font color="DDDD22">Julano got up and left the room. Once back in his chambers, he checked to see if the Lohran-suit was still where he had hidden it before he went out. He and his brother were as different as day from night, and even in the dark noone would confuse the two. He went out on the street and walked to another building. Without looking to see if he was followed, Julano pushed the door open and dissapeared inside.


He carefully lifted the hatch an inch, pausing to listen as he stared up at the night sky. When he was sure there was noone around, Julano stepped out and carefully put the wooden boards back into place, taking the time to cover them with leaves once more. He looked out over the village for a short period of time before heading off toward the forest trail leading from the village to the cave he had first met the party as Lohran. He took up position halfway between the two, hiding in the bushes.


Suddenly, a piercing scream disrpts the nightly silence, quickly cut off as a flash of light colours the night sky a dark red. A new silence descends, one where not even the creatures of the woods dare make a sound...</font>

You're going to love what will happen in the morning ;)

Gil-Gandil stroked his beard-less chin..
*Indeed, that is the question..perhaps the inn-keep knows anything?*
He approached the inn-keeper, who was polishing glasses behind the counter..
He started off with a friendly; *Evenin'*
*Evenin'*
*My friend and I was looking for a group of ´vampire-hunters around these parts* when the bar-keep turned away, obviously distressed, Gil-Gandil threw a few coins on the counter (his last), this seemed to catch the man's interest..
He leaned closer to Gil-Gandil, *Well, last I heard, they were moving around in the woods up north..you might want to hear with old Tom over there for more information, he claims he sees weird things when he's out snaring them birds..* the inn-keep poited at an old man sitting at a table playing scraps with a couple of burly men..
*Thank you, much appreciated!* Gil-Gandil said and winked at Raeth to follow him, as he walked over to Tom...
He touched the shoulder of the man the inn-keep had pointed out..
*Tom?*
*Aye, whaddaya want?* he answered his breath reeking of alcohol..
*I wondered if you knew anything of a band of vampire-hunters near-*
Before Gil-Gandil could finish the sentence, Tom leapt out of his chair and drew a blade.
*Who are you?!* he yelled and waved the knife in front of him..
Gil-Gaindal quickly grabbed Tom's arm and pulled to him, gently taking the knife out of his hands..
*I don't want a fight, just talk. Tell me what you have seen Tom!*
This seemed to calm Tom down and he sat down again..
*Well, I was out snarin' me some birds the other day, when I saw these women talking outside a cavern, when suddenly one of them turned into a wolf!*
*Right, a shapechanger no less, go on!*
*Whaddya 'go on'?! That's it, I ran away as fast as I could!*
*That's why you were afraid? Because of a shapechanger? Surely you must've seen one before!*
*No mister, sure haven't! You tell me they're common?!*
*Sure, but tell me, where did you see this?*
Tom gave him the directions, and then turned to his mates at the table and bagen a whispering conversation..
Gil-Gandil turned to Raeth, *I belive we've got what we wanted! Shall we leave?*

GALADRIA {After hours straining to hear the voices, they decide to keep the place under observation. Spying a vacant building next door, they eat their rations and take turns watching the suspicious area.) (to TAO) "Would you see if any of your wolf friends know of any suspicious activity?"

Raeth nodded quietly and prepared to follow Gil, flexing his muscles to ensure that he was ready for combat.

He also tuned his mind into that special state required to activate his ability, he hoped that he wouldn't have to use it, but it would be nice to have, just in case.

She nods at Galadria, already listening to the wolves speaking with her........~ (will watch) (YARD) (HOUSE) (FOREST) (LEAVES?)~
She turns to Galadria, her eyes glowing silver, and says, "they will watch and report, you may go get some rest...I will watch with them. ~With that, a small whirlwind blows, and TAO turns back into the silver wolf. She nudges Galadria's hand, and runs off into the forest..................

BLANDAMOUR (He watches for a while and then slips away into the forest to bring their horses and gear back to the abandoned house)

OOC>>>Here is your message that the vampires delivered you back in that post of your's, hours ago.

The new vampiress, Syla, has been destroyed as well as her cohort, Anomen. The vampire-slaying troop are now combing every inch of the area in search of more vampires, but the good news is that <font color=lightgreen>Bazguul,</font> the murderous thief-lord has actually been looking for this very group, though he is upset to see that the party has split up. He is willing to aid your cause in helping you rid your area of the vampire hunters if he will be permitted to come into the zone to deploy his agents in the task. Bazguul is a very powerful influence and as thief-lord, he has many valuable assets. Do with this information as you will.

OOC: how nice [img]smile.gif[/img]
Then surely I must have given the vampires the message that I'd gladly accept the man's aid, as long as he'd save one of the women for me ;)

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Legolas:

<font color=skyblue>
You're right!!!
That is exactly what you said!!
And the vampires made haste in running bcak to Bazguul to tell him!
Wow! How did you guess that?</font>

Well... for starters, I was there ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]

OOC>>>Oh yeah....
I got confused, I guess...

Anyway...

OOC: on with the story then. Don't wait for me to post, Julano won't do anything suspicious at all until it's dawn and the group is at least a short distance from the village, Ni Deng's travels aren't very interesting, neither are Legolas' and Rrang is pretty comfortable where he is [img]smile.gif[/img]
Hmm.. maybe it's time for another character...
