Legolas
"You have my promise" Legolas glances over at Sorsha again. And doubts the thief would ever get hers. "You have my promise, but only if you help us bring them to justice" Legolas, too, holds out his hand, waiting for Jaime to clasp it. |

Ni Deng
He could feel the person from the sewers look at him. He pretended to be even busier. Unfortunately, he was too busy and the person came over, the water and waste under its feet making funny noises. Ni cursed inwardly. Was it not written: 'Active ants make better target practise'? It must have slipped his mind. "A good day to you gardener" Ni slowly turned around, or at least he planned to but moved even slower than that, and saw the dripping form of a man. "Yes, you too" "You wouldn't happen to have seen someone throw a bucket of wastewater down into the sewers?" Well, he had not seen himself. Truthfully he answered "No." The man seened dissapointed and started to look for other people to speak to. "Back to garden I must. Excusing me and good day" |

Delita
Riding a strong black steed through the forest ~Confound my good nature...~ he thought to himself, ~Why must I always try to thwart the forces of evil... Look where it's gotten me~ He indeed he had committed an ill-thoughtout deed, he had burst into a guildhouse to attack those who where planning and attack and tried to singlehandedly take them out. He indeed was proficeint in arms, but one man taking on a guild of twenty to thirty is never a good idea. ~Thank the lords I was able to seize one of their horses and escape, i would surely be a goner...~ It was true for at this moment he was being chased by fifteen men armed to the bone, was one intention in mind... to KILL him. He rode of into the heart of the forest still being persued... OOC>>> how do you color your text?.. I did it! Thx Legolas

OOC: Hurrah! A new player [img]smile.gif[/img]
Though your post does not have much of a connection to the stories so far, that's okay as long as you accidentally bump into one of the currently two groups in the near future ![]() Text colouring is done by typing {font color="..."} ......... {/font} where { and } are < and >, ... is te colour of the text, which can be like "cyan", "skyblue", "gold" or something similar, or be of the hex type like AF0100, CCA134 or whatever, and .......... is the actual text. you want to have a colour. |

OOC: Mistral is gone for the weekend, and you never know when Larry's online [img]smile.gif[/img]
There's a bit of timezone 'trouble' too, as Mistral usually starts postsing when it's 1 a.m. here in the Netherlands. But that doesn't bother us too much. It simply slows down the game a bit. As Mistral controls most of the characters (we have been ordered to drag them along though) there's not much action right now. But that makes this a good time to join [img]smile.gif[/img] As for the adventurers, there's one group in the sewers under a city seeking treasure, the other group is in a village somewhere in the forest seeking to avenge some deaths. Feel free to post some more, let your character arrive in the city or something, tag along with the adventurers or invent an NPC who gives you a quest. Then prepare to go adventuring and hope one of us will join in. |

OC>>>I know where everyone is and about everything, cuz i joined right after i finished reading all the posts, i think thats why not alot of people are joining because not alot of people wanna go read through 145 posts.
IC>>> Delita Delita rode onward for several hours untill he reached a town,(which just happens to be the town that everyone departed from but i didnt tell you that ![]() "What business have ye with the black fang?" Hissed the robed man. "I am being persued by them right now! They're going to kill me! I was trying to halt their plans i need your hel..." "Well i shall hold you here untill my fellow members 'rrive" With this he drew his Short sword.~Damn if i'd only have kept to myself,~he thought as he unsheathed his long sword 'Rangnarok'. The thief was no match and within two swift blows he had struck the thief down. He then left the inn ~i must not Bring this town harm, i shall meet my fate head on...~ he thought to himself. At that moment ten Armed men entered the town. "DELITA HYRAL, I SEEK YOUR DEMISE!!!" an armored man yelled. "Come then," He shouted, Drawing his sword once again. As they dismounted he charged toward them and killed one with a peircing slash, the armored figure fell.The others charged toward him, After ragnarok had slay'n another a huge magic explosion blew them all ten feet away. An elderly figure clutching a Staff had just cast a spell, he then proceeded to kill the evil warriors remaining with various spells such as magic missles.Then Delita approached the old man who had saved him. "I am Delita, Too whom do i owe my life, And what may I do for you??" he asked. "I am Delban. Your encounter would've met an ill-fate if i had not averted their efforts, You could... no i cant ask you to..." "Name it, i have nothing to see to, i am at you service," he kneeled, " Well Delita, I have a task for you, their is someone i wish for you to seek and protect. Her name is Sorsha, she travels with an elven ranger, but i worry for her safety could you find her and accompany her?" "Yes, I shall leave immediatly, where did they go?" asked delita "they traveled that way, and thank you." Delita mounted one of the midnight black horses and left...

OOC: this seems like a fun place to be! I wish Dundee comes along as well. anyhows, never RPed with Legolas, so whats up bud?
![]() I had a brief game with Mistral, ahem, good experience [img]smile.gif[/img] **Tsang recalled sweet encounter with delightful expression** damn pervert and RPed with Larry too, though we never met. I dont know whats going on here as the thread is too long to read, can I just join any group? Osprey Miroreagke IC: The mage stumbled and fell into the knee deep mud pool. Choking violently, he struggled to stand up, only to fell once more. His robe was soaked and tainted by the muddy water. Breathing heavily, he batted away the mud and water in his eyes, and dragged his way out of the mud. Looking back fearfully once, he ran on with full speed, leaving a trail of muddy foot prints. A loud horse neighing came out from the forest he was in, seconds later a horse man charged through the thicks bushs and caught up with the still running mage. Sword in hand, the man on horse closed in his distance with the mage rapidly. The man laughed mockingly at the mage's futile escaping attempt, then with a great yelp, he swing his sword flatly. Without thinking, the mudded mage darted headlong into the ground, and rolled several rounds before he break the momuntem. The horse man charged pass, and made a circle then turned back. Slowly, the man drove his horse towards the mage, who sat on the ground. The mage cluntched his teeth tightly, eyes shut with humiliation, heavy breath mixed sweat. A low sound almost like a moan escaped his throat. The man heard the sound, and laughed out loud "So you claim to be a mage huh? stuttering boy?" The mage lowered his head, the all too familiar humiliation had caught up with him again. He forcefully tried to move his lips, which seemed to be glued together at the moment. A low cry came out, he cluncthed his fists on the dirt, and fiercely nailed into it. Feeling the pain, he raised his eyes suddenly and pierced into the man's taunting stare. "Hahahahaha, what are you trying to do?" The man spat to the side and looked back to Osprey "now let me teach you a lesson, stutter boy. Don't try to be a hero if you ..." before he could finish, the mage flashed out his both hands and let go the dirt in his grips. Thousands of sandy dirts struck the horse's face. The horse neighed in shock and jumped and leaped and stood up on its back feet as its eyes were stung by the small missles, and lost their visions. The man yelled in surprised as he was thrown off the horse, and fell on the ground heavily. The horse kicked wildly and ran in a patternless circle, lifting dirts and dusts all about. The bandit tried to get on his feet, but was kicked in the chest by a pair of powerful horse legs. With a low grunt, he fell back once more and lost his concious. Minutes passed before the blind horse finally ran off, Osprey dragged himself up. He moved cautiously to the unconcious man, and took away his sword as fast as he could. Then stood there motionlessly, he closed his eyes, letting the humilitions subside. "Motiers mar...ma.. mmm .. mmm mar vvvvv..." Teeth clutched tightly, he slapped himself frustratedly "speak! speak!! speak!!!" Finally, exhausion took over, he closed his teary eyes and shook his head in defeat. A beautiful face gradually took place in his weary mind, replaced anger and pain... he sighed lightly. Reaching down his chest, he took out an animal totem, a panther, and gently pressed it against his lips. "I love you dear" he silently voiced... Without giving a second look, he dragged himself off the dirt road, and continued on... |

OOC: The beauty of an RPG built like this is, that you don't need to go through all the posts. Your character is not supposed to know what others think and what happened to them, he or she just encounters them after which many things can happen. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Of course, you as a player can have the knowledge and use it (like you did with the npc). One of the dangers of informing your character of what happened to others is that it may make the setting quite complicated (for example, as a player, I may wonder how that person knew where Sorsha went and that Legolas was with her, as we've only left the village three or four days ago and never visited the town). But there is room here to learn, and your character needs an excuse to join in. Another thing, we do not know what happened in town, and will never find out. There is no need to give a detailled background as long as you simply have one. The characters are not aware of it, they only know their own thoughts, what they see and what they hear. If your character sat around a campfire, and told us, it would have an effect on te characters. If you were with us and would be ambushed because of your past, it would have an effect. It's not a real problem, we could, for example, use the information to say something about your character, or hear about a murder in town (few witnesses, but they could have some information) and hunt down the killer (i.e. you). Just keep in mind that it does not really help anyone. That's not to say you should only post your actions, far from it, that would make for a very boring rpg. What I would have done in your case, if you wanted to tell your short term historty, would be posting it as if your characteris remembering this as he rides through the woods. That way, you don't have to wait some two days in game time (four on foot) to get to the village, which is when we'll all be gone. Instead, you could arrive at any time. Like I sad, there's room here for learning. Do keep it as it is, and find some way around current obstacles. If a character controlled by another player would join you on your journey, you could fall behind Legolas' little group and track them. Otherwise, I'll just build in another long journey to give you a chance to catch up (we walk, you're on horseback) |

OOC: Hey there CCL. It's going to be an interesting experience roleplaying with you
![]() Hmmm.. I see your character shows some resemblances to this great guy I know. Let's hope they're both heading for a happy ending. Yes, you can just join right in, as long as your character hooks up to one of the current storylines any time soon. There's a city somewhere where there's a group of people seeking treasure, down in the sewers, in that same city is a man on horseback who is headed for a village in the woods and in that village there's a small group of people out to avenge some deaths. Your character does not know this (or maybe he does) but it's a small world, so who knows, he may just stumble into one of the groups. |
