use the White Wolf system for this if rolling 2+ dice.<br/><br/>There are 10 phases in a round, starting from 10 (first) to 1 (last).  You go on the phase (or phases) you rolled, ties going at the exact same time.<br/><br/>Main Attributes:<br/>Main attributes all range from one (poor) to five (the greatest).  Scores of six or higher are possible for legendary humans or monsters.  Two is average.<br/><br/>Body: Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Stuff Like that ^_^<br/><br/>Mind: Wits, Willpower, okay cutting the alliteration...<br/><br/>Looks: How sexy, intimidating, or terrifying you are.<br/><br/>Derived Attributes:<br/><br/>Fatigue Points: Are equal to your Body score times ten.  These get damaged first in combat - a player who loses all fatigue points collapses, and is barely conscious.<br/><br/>Willpower Points: Mind times ten.  When reduced to zero, you cannot disobey an assertive command.<br/><br/>Stimulation: Equal to Looks times ten.  You orgasm when you gain stimulation over this limit. ^_^<br/><br/>- Men, without other abilities, reset to zero and may not gain any stimulation points for the next round.  Each time they orgasm this delay is doubled.<br/><br/>- Women, when they reach this limit, lose half their current stimulation points and take double stimulation until the 'combat' ends.<br/><br/>Orientation:<br/>Gyno - Only interested in sexual activity with women.  They subtract 5 from all lust damage if men are even nearby, and 10 if a man is actually the cause of it.<br/><br/>Bi-Gyno - Too many cocks spoil the pot ^_^.  Subtract 5 from all lust damage if more than one man is near, or if a man is the cause of the 'damage'. - 5 character points.<br/><br/>Bi - All's game ^_^ - 10 character points<br/><br/>Bi-Andro - Only slightly interested in women.  Subtract 5 from all lust damage if more than one woman is near, or if a woman is the cause of the 'damage'. - 5 character points.<br/><br/>Andro - Only interested in men.  Subtract 5 from all lust damage if women are even nearby, and 10 if a woman is actually the cause of it.<br/><br/>Stimulation: - What stimulates you ^_^<br/><br/>Areas where you get stimulated.  By default, this is the clitoris, vagina and nipples in women, and the penis in men.  Either gender may add anal for ten character points.<br/><br/>Fetishes:<br/><br/>Things that turn you on.  Felatio, Cunnilingus, nipple play...  They will not cause orgasm without powers, but they do a point of stimulation per level while they are triggered.<br/><br/>Fetishes may be related to your own stimulation areas, enhancing their effect on you.  They only count for character points (one per level) if they can be used against you... ^_^<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Fetishes, Stimulation and Bisexual leanings are the only way to gain character points at character creation.<br/><br/>Combat:<br/><br/>Whether inside the arena or elsewhere, all combat starts by Initiative.<br/><br/>There are two types of contest - Sexual or Martial.  Martial contests may um, devolve into Sexual contests, but vise versa is kind of rare ^_^<br/><br/>Martial Combat:<br/><br/>Both (or all) sides roll Initiative, like above.  A combat round represents about one second.<br/><br/>The players with the highest number go first.  Simultanious actions are possible, and should be declared without knowing what the other is doing (both players may make their posts inside a PM to reflect this).<br/><br/>Offensive Actions possible:<br/>Ranged Attack: Roll Ranged + Body, keep Ranged.<br/>Melee Attack : Roll Melee + Body, keep Melee.<br/>Magic Attack : Roll Magic + Mind, keep Magic<br/>Make Grapple : Roll Grapple + Body, keep Grapple.  (Unarmed attacks are Melee)<br/>Hold Grapple : Ditto ^_^<br/>Disarm Weapon: Roll Grapple + Body, keep Grapple, TN Body*5.<br/>- It is up to each individual player to determine if they are skilled enough to not have to worry about disarm attempts while outside of a grapple.<br/><br/>Retrieving a weapon takes an action.<br/><br/>If an Attack or Make Grapple roll exceeds the defender's Body*5, the attack succeeds unless the defender can succesfully use an Active Dodge.<br/><br/>Some Magic attacks target the mind.  These are at Mind*5, but cannot be actively resisted in combat.<br/><br/>Defensive Actions possible:<br/>Active Dodge : Roll Dodge + Body, keep -both- (Sacrifice next action in round.  Not possible if rounds actions are taken up, replaces passive target number to be hit.)<br/>Break Grapple: Roll Grapple + Body, keep Grapple.  Can only be performed on your action.  Resisted against opponent's Hold Grapple roll.<br/><br/>Grappled players may choose to initiate a Sexual Contest, particularly if they are both are disarmed ^_^<br/><br/>Once a player's fatigue is reduced to zero, they collapse, but are not unconcious - merely helpless.  The magic imbued into all arena-goers prevents maiming and death.<br/><br/>Sexual Combat:<br/><br/>Sexual Combat is a longer, sensual affair, each round representing about a minute of fun ^_^<br/><br/>The basic rules are: the player performs an act with a limb or appendage on a stimulation area, sometimes with their own.  This is role-played, and the stimulation gets rolled for the round, adding fetishes where appropriate.<br/><br/>Once a player reaches their limit (or breaks it), they orgasm.  In a tournement, they lose, though the assailant need not stop ^_^<br/><br/>- need to add notes on multiple orgasms and perhaps polyorgasms ^_^<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the GM at 09:24, Tue 10 Aug 2004.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Lilac (GM)<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Alright, soliciting comments before I do any additional work ^_^<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Khryseis<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Looks good, though naturally I'm all curious-like about how we'd set ourselves up :)<br/><br/>Yes, I'm all aquiver with... anticipation? 0:)<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Lirliel<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Hmm..Sounds interesting. This means we will have new PCs for this? And not all of us are rapid posters. I can only do it in the morning and after I get home from work.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Lilac (GM)<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>This will be a seperate game, I am just working out the rules here before I actually go and -make- it ^_^<br/><br/>I would not mind if people brought their characters from here into it...  certainly considering the quality of 95% of the players here I might consider it a bonus ^_^  Once a day posting for this will be plenty.<br/><br/>- Added skeleton for Martial Combat rules<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Murinnia<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Well it certainly looks interesting, but before I can offer a good opinion on what was posted, I'll have to sober up first. Personally, I blame those martinis, they kept multiplying. Ugh...<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Murinnia<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>So you take, I guess for the lack of a better term ""sexual damage"" based on looks until you reach orgasm? I guess even when you lose you still win.<br/><br/>I like what I see so far, I'm curious about the Stimulation rules. I know it said to split at least two dice among various locations (2 locations for men, 4 for women) doesn't this give us women a bit of an unfair advantage?<br/><br/>For men the average stimulation would be (assuming max rolls at all time) 10 points per location, while for women it would be 5 points.<br/><br/>Maybe make it a d10 for each location with +/- modifiers that can be bought?<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Lilac (GM)<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Oooh, that works better, thanks ^_^<br/><br/>A part of me is wondering if I should really split up clitoral and vaginal.  It's liable to confuse some of the men...  and too many rules prevent us from thinking up our own appropriate 'details' ^_^<br/><br/>Anyway, a better term for sexual damage might be better...  I hesitate to call it 'climax' as it goes down...<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Murinnia<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>God, I hope the men aren't that easily confused. Then again, it would explain a lot.<br/><br/>Oooh, I have an idea. Instead of it subtracting points, call it Stimulation and have it add points. For instance you reach orgasm at looks x 10 (say 30) so once your stimulation reaches 30 you orgasm.<br/><br/>I wish I could take credit for that, but I remember it from the GURPS Sex thing I downloaded a few months ago.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Aeria Gloris<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Was wondering, what will be the ""rewards"" for winning matches, besides prestige and uh...fun...;)?  Will people be gifted with items or bonus XP or money to spend on...stuff?<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Lilac (GM)<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Yeah, I've been thinking about that.  I also have that GURPS Sex thing somewhere on my drive...<br/><br/>Hmm, any thoughts on multiple or simultanious orgasms?<br/><br/>- It won't confuse all of the men, but I am sure it will confuse some of them, though I am not really sure why I should be concerned about catering to that type of demographic.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Lilac (GM)<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>I am making the system first, then we can hash out experience and getting umm...  experienced ^_^<br/><br/>Money, items and slaves should also play a part too ^_^<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Arena Rules: System by Khryseis<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>*twitchtwitch*<br/><br/>Um... yes :)<br/><br/>And perhaps if one of us 'loses' lots of times to one other, then that one might become the other's slave - at least in the short term? Though I can think of all the fun that might be had with the slave 'earning' their freedom...<br/><br/>Ooooh, I'm so looking forward to this."

Winter had truly ended a few weeks before with the improving of the weather and the temperature rising daily. Paderborn never truly saw winter, it snowed on occasion, but those times were very rare and this was not one of the snowy years. Instead it rained, almost a constant downpour some weeks. Streets had been turned to mud and everyone and everything seemed coated in the muck until it felt like the entire city would simply sink into the ground. While some would have welcomed the disappearance of this wicked and corrupt city, many others would have wailed at the disappearance, most notably many thousand of its wretched inhaibtants, and those who came here to trade with or exploit them as they saw fit.<br/><br/>The coming of spring meant an increase in trade and travel; it also meant that soon would be the season of war once more. This year talk of war on the peninsula of which Paderborn was a part was rampant. Everyone knew that Turov would march again to war before long. Refugee camps still existed outside the city, the poor and starving people huddled in their cloth tents. Mercenaries had begun to arrive in the city as well, some stopping only briefly before heading to Turov or Dusun or some other destination to participate in the coming conflict. Only a handful stayed in Paderborn. The city had no true central government, no army, and no plan to hire mercenaries to defend itself. The merchants who ruled the city did have private armies which fought at times amongst the warehouses and on the docks. It was not uncommon to find a dozen or so dead bodies on the docks with teh coming of first light.<br/><br/>The docks had begun to fill with ships of all kinds. Those who smuggled goods that were illegal in other cities unloaded them here. Pirates bought and sold goods here in Paderborn as well as looked for new crewmembers. Slavers visited this port, and already some of the refugees had begun to disappear, most to be sent to the slave markets of the southern continent. Slavery was technically ilegal in Paderborn, which only meant trade in slaves was not conducted openly. It was done in secret houses and with bribes to what served as the city watch.<br/><br/>The market itself was crowded and dirty, a few days of clear skies had dried the ground and the constant bustle of feet generated a low-lying cloud of dust that covered everything. Goods of every kind were on display, from finely crafted weapons, to rusty iron bars, smoked meats and fish to half rotten fruit. Merchants called out to passersby, offering their wares, and offering choice insults to those who ignored them. Others haggled and bargained, buyer and seller trying to outmaneuver one another in the dealing. In many ways, a typical chaotic marketplace, only this one was not the one area of chaos in an orderly city, it was the only area with a semblance of order in a city of chaos."

The pink strips running along the underside of her breasts.  A powerful stomach of finely etched muscles was revealed to onlookds but softened with thin strips of pink cloth.  The material was stiff along her chest but came together at her shoulers in a flowing manner as if it the top threatened to fall from her body at any moment.  A collar of thin shell was slipped around her neck, shielding onlookds from the thick cords that ran along her graceful neck.<br/><br/>Her face was proud and defiant despite her clothing.  A strong jaw and full lips seemed always ready to challenge any onlooker for the right of supremacy, and the woman's eyes seemed to always have a storm just over the horizon.  She was not necessarily beautiful, but her mannerisms held a hint of the exotic and the threat of a challenge hung around her constantly.  Many knew that she was as likely to conquer them as they her.  Marcella's hair was kept short, hanging just below her ears so that the tips were buried into the strands of purple and green hair.  She constantly brushed at her hair, a nervous habit from when she was a child that never seemed to go away."

Do you have a BIG COCK, SEX APPEAL, BIG BREASTS, SQUIRTY CUMS, FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY etc.<br/><br/><strong>WEAKNESS:</strong>you have a bad thing to from DRUG ADDICTION to NYMPHOMANIA to DO LESBIAN SCENES ONLY.<br/><br/><strong>STAR POWER:</strong>0 to 10 Points will be tradable permanently for control of a scene in a film, a bonus on your skills during a film, and for 6 points can add a new skill (mudane skills are only 1 Star Point) and 10 points add a new schtick! after a film or six scenes the GM will assign 1 per three players and the people on the site not in the game can vote for the best actor or actress for another 1. also for the best description in a movie scene you get 1 more as agreed by the site members to the Principle(s) involved.<br/><br/><strong>MINOR ACTORS/ACTRESSES/OTHER:</strong>Need a NAME (normal ok), APPEARANCE, one MUNDANE SKILL. two PORN STAR SKILLS and thats it. Since this is sleazy early porn you can include freaky people and cute animals, the site rules don't forbid bestiality. Limits too. These can be swapped out pretty much as you wish.<br/><br/>Post your stable as above and do so in the CHARACTER SHEET area.<br/><br/>Post any limits I assume site limits of course. Yes all actors and actresses must be at least 18, if human!<br/><br/>To determine how well the performances are there will be a simple d20 die rolled, target number is 11 plus 4 for an appliable Schtick and 2 per appliable skill (no more than two may be applied) , minor actors get one skill only. The biggest differance between the target number and what is rolled determines who does best. A natural ONE always wins. Burning a STAR POINT gives a -3 to this roll for the whole film. The one with the most points added up gets a BONUS Star Point for the film. So the more scenes you do the more you get. To encourage active participation!  ;D<br/><br/>This is early porn so roughie sex will be included, this will be sex of a nature where its soft non-consentual as in the acteress or actor won't start liking it but give in sort of a seductive domination over a rape. This will be to fit the site limits. Fetishes can be almost anything reasonable.<br/><br/>Lastly feel free to have a Midget performer, some unusual looking one etc.  LOL"

celestial.<br/><br/>Sanctioned non-humans are people who are not of pure human blood, don't try to conceal this fact, and have been accepted into the Church for their deeds and piety.  They may not be fully trusted by many, though the official word of the Church theoretically compels Order members to treat them fairly.  It is rare for a sanctioned non-human to hold particularly high rank.<br/><br/>Hidden or concealed non-humans.  Despite what might be desired or believed by many in the court, there are a decent number of half-breeds in the Kingdom that are not immediately visible as non-pure humans.  Those with half-fey heritage, for instance, often can pass as human.  The risk of being discovered in real, and punishment for attempting to take privledges only allowed to humans (such as holding rank in the Order, a position in the royal bureaucracy) can be quite severe.  There are camps within the Church and the Kingdom which argue for either increased pure human dominance, or increased tolerance, so this is an active issue in the lands.<br/><br/>Celestial - There are children of the holy-born amongst the lands, the aasimar.  They are almost inevitably born to a noble human family or an exemplary member of the Church, at least as far as the nobles say.  They are rare.<br/><br/>The Characters<br/>--------------------<br/>""Arise heroes of the golden West, faithful servants of the Lord and Lady, King and Queen.  Courtly and wise, strong and quick, you are called to service.""<br/><br/>Your character should either be a member of the Church or have reason to be a close ally.  All of the Good alignments are acceptable.  You're coming from a land that prizes chivalry and courteous behavior, but even in Camelot there was alot of roughness still there.<br/><br/>Perhaps the most important part of the character concept for this stage will be their moral code.  What is acceptable to them, in their interpretation of the Church's teachings?  Think of a Camelot-like base, but like some of the more earthy ones.  While the courtly expectation might be for spouses to be virgins at their wedding and faithful after that, the unspoken reality is that both lusty exploration and infidelity happen quite often.  The members of the Church are to hold themselves to that higher standard.  Priests and paladins are not required to be chaste and celibate, for instance, but those that held themselves to that standard would be better regarded and considered more close to the Holy.  To throw out a teaser, one legend of the Chalice of Compassion says that only a fully pure member of the church can call upon its greatest miraculous powers.<br/><br/>Outside of sex, chivalrous rules such as accepting the surrender of an enemy and not attacking noncombatants are the norm.  Grey areas in the persecution of war against the enemy of the Kingdom and church exist here just as they have in our own world.<br/><br/>Our heroes will need to have some of the same spread that a normal adventuring group will have - warriors, healers, and more stealthy types.  Good is not stupid.  The church does have spies, and it is not a sin to disguise yourself and be clever to help defeat an evil enemy.  Of course, that's the cutting edge where corruption probably starts too..."

She spots a fluffy pillow nearby, flutters over to it, and lays belly-down onto it, facing the speaking girls, with her arms folded up under her chin in order to support her head. She has a cheerful smile on her cute face, but remains initially quiet while Dullûmâ and the Dryad girl converse together on the couch in an effort to sort out the situation.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani still breathing a little hard after she sits down, she looks around and then looks at Dullûmâ. Just a little bit of trouble. I just... can't stay there any longer. It's a prison with no walls. She looks at Gwenie and then back to Dullûmâ, I just hope what I have heard about you is true. That you can help me get out of here. She moves her hair back away from her face as her breathing starts to be normel once more. Her golden eyes looks around the room again then gase back apon Dullûmâ, waiting for an answer that she hopes will help her get away.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ smiles a soft, reassuring smile, ""You have not been misled I can get you away if that is what you truly want.  Daemon is quite a powerful man and I fear no place in Far will make you safe.  Normally in this large city we can start a new life for someone, in this case I would say to leave Far for some time.  It is not as if you cannot return, one day you could once Daemon's... attention has been diverted elsewhere.  Men like him will forget, given enough time.  You do know that this does not happen freely, though I ask no payment now, there will be a time you will be called upon, can I trust you with such an agreement?""<br/><br/>Her face turns to a bit of worry as she glances back at Gwenie and then turns to Nani again, ""I would also like to introduce you to Gwenie here.  She is an expert scout and versed in the countryside.  There is a Dryad clan who would most likely accept you.  They live deep in the Lonely Forest and I am sure Gwenie can get you to them.  There is something I must warn you of.  The forest has become dangerous.  Even since the last time you were there, Gwenie.""  She again breifly looks at Gwenie to make sure she has her attention.  ""My spies tell me orcs have been patrolling much more aggresively and in larger numbers.  They also speak of a strang creature that roams the forest at night, very powerful.  So you do have a second choice, instead of going right through the forest you _could_ attempt to travel a dark elf tunnel.  Either way, Gwenie will more then be of use to you.  Understand both ways have much peril.  I will leave the final choice to you.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie watches and listens to Dullûmâ and Nani talk to each other and when Dullûmâ specifically addresses her, she turns her attention over towards the Nymph and nods back in acknowledgement and understanding of Dullûmâ’s words of concern. She comments, ""Orcs’re big meanies."" She then looks back over towards Nani as she continues to lie on the fluffy pillow, her legs now starting to playfully bounce up and down on it, and allowing the bigger girls to further continue their discussion. She smiles cheerfully as she continues to observe them.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani thinks over the choice put before her. Forest.. Tunnel.. Orc's in forest and who knows what else.. Tunnel we have .. dark elfs.. Which would be safer if you can pay there toll.. I'm sure I don't have the money for the toll.. ok... looks like  Forest.. and most surelly killing of something.. being scared of something.. running like mad.. again.. What to do.. what to do. Her eyes looks to Gwenie then to Dullûmâ. ""Well I..  humm.. At lest no matter which I pick Gwenie will be with me, so that's nice. I really not sure. I would say the tunnel but I don't have the money for that for I'm sure they will want a nice coin for that. I... would say throw the forest at lest there I would know what would be jumping out at me."" She was scared and held her arms to keep from shacking, just the thought of orc's and who knows what might jump out at them scared her.She could face it and think fast enought to maybe live throw it. Nani look around more then back to Dullûmâ once again. ""Forest, if I have to choice the lesser of two evils, then it's the forest.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie rolls over onto her back, her head now lying partially off of the pillow, and looks up at Nani from an upside-down vantage point. She says cheerfully, ""Yay! Forest trip! It’s dark and scary underground."" She grins towards Nani and playfully starts bouncing her legs and arms, one leg and arm at opposite sides and alternating sides with each bounce, up and down on the pillow that she lies back upon. After a moment, she sits up and her wings flutter and lift her off of the pillow. She flutters over to the couch and then around Dullûmâ and Nani. She says, ""Travel down South to the Lonely Forest and find the Dryad tribe. Okie dokie.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ tries to be serious, travelling the Lonely Forest is no laughing matter but she cannot help but smile and giggle at Gwenie's enthusiasm and playful show.  ""Verywell.  Nani, you may rest here and the night if you wish, if you have no where else to go.  You can sleep right here and wash up with the other women and men in the baths upstairs if you wish.  They are for the entertainers here only but I think I can have them make an exception for one night.  Its still early in the day though, if you are in a hurry we could have you leave now but I would say rest the day and have a good night sleep in a soft bed before wandering out to the forest.  Gwenie, if Nani doesn't mind, could you look after her today?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie flutters in the air around the two bigger girls and, when Dullûmâ asks if she wouldn’t mind 'looking after' Nani, she cheerfully replies back, ""Okie dokie."" She flutters around and behind Nani, moves close up against her back, slides her arms around the more than twice as tall girl’s neck, rests her chin atop Nani’s head, and hugs the Dryad from behind. Her wings continue to flutter, holding up her meager weight and keeping her in the air, and she giggles happily.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the player at 14:31, Tue 19 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani smiled knowing she would be safe for one night. Thank you, when ever you call for me to reply you for this I will do my best to do so, no matter the task. She felt the little faery girl hug her and it was nice. She looks around her home for the night, taking the rest of the room.<br/><br/>A bath does sound nice, after all that running and the timing in which I left, I kind of missed my bath today. Thank you so much for helping me Dullûmâ, and you too Gwenie. She smiles looking at Dullûmâ and then truning her head to look at Gwenie. I know this trip will not be an easy one, and I'm sure lot of gross things will be waiting on us, but I have faith that we will make it just fine. For I will need to reply you for your kindness you are showing me. She smiles.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>As you sit and talk the curtain to the room is pushed aside.  Standing there is one of the many human female Madam's of this place.  She has a most worried look on her face and she waves for Dullûmâ to come to her.  Dullûmâ smiles and excuses herself and as she turns to this newcomer you can see the look of annoyance on her face.<br/><br/>She and the woman speak quietly a moment and then Dullûmâ stands silently for a moment thinking.  She turns back to the both of you and says, ""I apologize but there is a matter I must attend to upstairs.  I will not be long.  In case I do not see you again today do not worry, tomorrow I will seek you here and you can begin your trip.""  She leans over and pats Nani on the leg and runs a hand gently through Gwenie's hair before turning back and heading out, the Madam a step ahead of her.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>When Nani says her encouraging words to Gwenie, the little Faerie can’t help but to perk up, raise a victory fist proudly up into the air, and say with a positive, can-do attitude, ""We can do it!""<br/><br/>Gwenie looks over curiously as the older lady enters the room and urges Dullûmâ over to her. Gwenie giggles cutely as Dullûmâ, after coming back over from her private conversation with the older lady, brushes her hand through her long, baby-soft, strawberry-blonde hair. As Dullûmâ excuses herself from the room, Gwenie waves 'bye-bye' to her and turns her attention back to Nani, bringing her raised arm back down and putting it around Nani’s neck to resume her from-behind hug again.<br/><br/>Gwenie asks the Dryad, ""What did you want to do now?,"" and let's her little tongue hang out cutely.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the player at 03:31, Thu 21 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani looks around and smiles. Take a nice long bath I think. Other than that, I'm unsure of what to do. What would you like to do Gwenie? Knowing that was more or less not the thing to ask such a happy person as she was. Her guess would be danceing or singing for Gwenie seems like the type who likes to do that. Plus she was a faery after all.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>[ Move to Before the Dawn thread ]<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Cast Invisibility Spell for 2 mana.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>The footsteps are slow and methodical.  The doors can be barred from the inside but they are not very strong and with a swift kick Barag forces it in.  He stands large for a man, a wild and unkempt look he is said to be a barbarian from the mountains.  His thick hide armor hangs loosely off his body and he keeps a great sword on his back but it remains slung there.<br/><br/>He surveys the room a moment and then turns and nods at those behind him, Silba and the innkeeper, holding his broken and bleeding nose.  Through his hand the innkeeper talks, ""See I told you.  She uh, left early last night but this was her room.""<br/><br/>Silba is dressed as even an aristocrat, tailored clothes.  Thin breeches and fancy looking tunic and even a cap, with a wide leather and gold trimmed belt for show.  He has a rapier at his belt and even though he appears courtly and lean he is known as good with the blade.  He moves about the room slowly, looking things over, picking up a few things here and there and moving to the bed.  He passes only inches from you and sniffs the air.  Grasping the bed's sheet he gives the innkeeper an angry look,""You are a bad lier.  She did not leave last night but none too long ago I think.  Just be lucky she is not here.""  He turns to Barag, ""I can still smell her, she must not be far.  You know what to do and when you get close to her find me.  If you think she would flee before I can arrive, take her yourself... unharmed, please.""<br/><br/>Silba grins a bit at the last part of the sentance and turns to leave.  He grabs the innkeeper by the scruff of his neck and leads him out, you can hear Silba threating the man all they way back down the stairs.  Barag moves about the room, searching and looking.  He stands curiously in the center of the room for a long moment, looking right in your direction.   His brow furrows but then he seems to think of something and slowly backs out of the room, leaving the broken door swung open.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Kaylee let out a soft, relived breath a few moments after Barag had gone.  She'd been so frightened standing there watching the two men that were looking for her, with only the thin shield of her invisibility spell saving her from discovery and…well, who knew what?  She'd nearly squeaked in fright when that wild-looking barbarian had seemed to look right through her.  But it was all right now, they were both gone.  Now she just had to get out of this inn without being seen, and then…out of town, perhaps?  The thought frightened her, but she wasn't sure she could stay here any longer.  Silba seemed quite determined, and she wasn't sure how long she could hide from him.  Taking a few quiet steps toward the open door, she pokes her invisible head out, looking both ways down the corridor to make sure no one's there.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>The coast seems clear as you look around.  A few other patrons of the inn are looking out their doors from all the noise and a couple run downstairs to check on the innkeeper.  You hear him coming back up though, and whispering your name, ""Kaylee... Kaylee... where are you?"" he speaks very quietly.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Trustingly, Kaylee moves up beside the innkeeper and whispers, ""I'm here.  I'm invisible.""  For the moment, at least, though she didn't think that would be true for too much longer.  ""Thank you so much for helping me.  Is there a back way out of here?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>The man yelps when your voices comes from nowhere but he quickly calms himself and speaks softly, he now holds some rag against his nose.  The rag is already very bloodied, ""Do not do that to me... This hurts enough as it is.  It is my pleasure, Kaylee... my pleasure.""  He sighs a longing sigh, ""There is a back way, down the hall the last room on your left is not in use.  It has a window you can use to climb out and that will put you on the back patio's roof.  You can just hop down and be on your way.  And listen... there is a woman, a Nymph, who might help you.  Dullûmâ is her name.  She has been known to hide Fey who come under... unwanted attention from humans in the city.  I know you are human, but she also has need of people to work for her.  Someone of your talents may be of use to her so even though you are not Fey..."" he shrugs his shoulders.  ""Seek her at city's core, there is brothel, the Happy Courtier.  Ask for her, that should be all you need do.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Kaylee whispers, ""Thank you again.  I'm so sorry you were hurt.""  She gestures again, letting mystical essence fill her, and when her soft lips brush softly his cheek, they're replete with healing energies, trying to ease the pain he feels, if only just a little bit.  Then she's off, down the hall, moving toward the last room on the left, following his instructions.<br/><br/>14:16, Today: Kaylee rolled 1 success using 5d6 with the Shadowrun system with a target of 5. Cast Healing Spell for 2 mana.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>The innkeeper smiles as you gently press your lips to his cheek and the bleeding of his nose stops.  You head out the window, on the rooftop and then easily climb down back to street level.  Moving carefully through the city your invisibly spell is worn out but you causually step out of an alley and no one seems to think the wiser.<br/><br/>Heading towards the center of the city the brothel the innkeeper spoke of is not hard to find.  It is the city's most famous and has both patrons and employees of many classes and races.  The building has a large open front courtyard with a garden and statuary.  A wide stone roof supported by marble pillars hangs over the edge of the building to create a porch that encircles the entire place.  Its architexture is a strange gothic style but instead of brooding gargolyes more erotic sculptures take their place.<br/><br/>Approaching the main entrance a madam greets you.  She smiles and looks you over twice, nodding in approval, ""Are you here for a good time or perhaps to work?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Kaylee blushes slightly at the rather interesting architecture, and then again as the woman gives her a quite appraising look.  In a quiet voice, she replies, ""I was wondering if I might be able to speak with Dulluma, actually, please.""  She hopes the nymph will be willing to see her, and able to help her.  She's been running on adrenaline since she left the inn, and she hadn't thought about much other than getting away from Silba and Barag.  She hoped that Dulluma's needs weren't exclusively for brothel workers.  Considering her rather cloistered upbringing, that would be a rather drastic change.  Though perhaps better than falling into Silba's clutches.  But surely her other talents would prove useful enough that she could avoid either fate...<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>The madam looks a bit surprised at the mention of Dullûmâ and her look turns to suspicion, ""Follow me.""  She closes her loose robes tighter around her body and turns to enter the building.<br/><br/>The foyer is a small chamber where attendants take people's things and store them safely.  A human man and an elf stand as armed guards, the elf steps up to you, ""No weapons."" she points to your staff and knife.  She then holds out her hands for you to give them over.  The madam promises, ""No worries, love.  We are not theives here you will have them back.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Trusting soul that she is, Kaylee had already begun to remove her knife and sheath before even before the Madam's reassurances.  ""I wasn't worried."", she said with a smile, as she gave the knife and staff over to the elf who was waiting for them.  She wasn't worried because she had a tendency to believe the best of everyone until proven wrong, but also because she really wasn't very good with either weapon.  If she had to defend herself, which she hoped she didn't, magic would be a much more useful tool...<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>After handing over your knife and staff you are taken beyond the foyer through a thick set of deep red curtains.  A large entrance chamber is beyond that is more of a lounge for prospective clients.  Large pillows and soft chairs are scattered about to relax on.  Madam's bring out several options for clients to pick and choose from based on what they ask for.  Food and drink are being served liberally to the waiting patrons.  There are many people from all walks of life and races here, just as you had heard.<br/><br/>You are brought down a more secluded corridor to a small room.  The abundance of soft silk sheets and pillows as well as sexual paraphernalia leaves little doubt as to this rooms purpose.  The madam tells you to wait here and do not leave or you will never see Dullûmâ, her tone is quite serious.  You are made to wait quite a long time, an hour or so perhaps.  The room is seperated from the corridor by a curtain but it is lighter and you can see forms move past as well as hear their footsteps on the marbled floor.<br/><br/>Finally, the Madam returns.  Behind her is a nymph, typical of the kind in looks but slightly taller.  She also wears more human style, conservative clothing.  Unusual for a nymph and considering the setting even more so.  The Madam speaks first, ""It is your lucky day, child.  She just happened to be here.""<br/><br/>With that, the madam nods at the nymph who nods back with a smile, apparently an indication for some privacy as the madam harumphs and leaves.  The nymph closes the curtain behind her and takes a seat near you.  ""Now what is it you wish to speak to me of?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>This setting is all very new to the rather sheltered Kaylee, as she was aware such places existed, but she'd never thought to go inside one before.  Her face turns almost as red as her hair as she takes in the erotic paraphernalia in the room and she seats herself as far away as possible from the implements.  However, curiosity begins to win out over her embarrassment as time passes, and eventually she stands and walks over toward some of the more exotic pieces.  She's just about to reach out and touch one of them, curious as to what it feels like, when she hears footsteps again outside and seats herself just as the Madam returns, a blush coming to her face once more.<br/><br/>She smiles politely at the nymph, and after the madam leaves, says, ""Umm…well, I'm in some trouble and I was told that you might be able to help me…""  She explains about Dalthun and Silba and the troubles of that morning, how she'd barely escaped Silba's clutches, and how the innkeeper had sent her here.  ""So I was hoping maybe you could help keep me out of Silba's hands.  I know I'm not Fey, but I can work magic, so maybe I could be of some use to you in exchange?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ listens and does not interupt.  She nods at parts of your story and seems to take it in.  ""Well child, you seem a kind sort and I sense a goodness about you.  Would it help you if you left the city for a while?  I know of Silba and this man Barag.  Do not let our meeting place fool you, this is not my buisness."" She lays a hand on your leg, sensing a bit of your discomfort, ""Some Fey come on hard times in the city, I know I have seen them myself.  Humans can be... unpredictable and often times harsh and the men can sometimes well, I think you may understand.  So some of the Fey I deal with do not like humans very well.  However an attractive young lady like yourself might find an easier time with them.""<br/><br/>She looks you over for your reactions so far and withdraws her hand as her tone becomes a bit more serious, ""So I do have use of those with your talent.  What I do is help my fellow Fey who find themselves in trouble."" She raises an eyebrow and gauges your reaction at this next statement, ""Which does sometimes put us on the opposite side of city law.""  She smiles again though, ""What I offer is protection from Silba.  While you work for me he will not touch you.  What I require of you is to do what I say and sometimes it may put you at great risk.  Perhaps greater then that of Silba but I assure you that you will be doing things for the help of others.  And that I also reward my agents who perform well.  It just so happens that a Dryad is running too, from a powerful merchant who used her as a sex slave to entice clients to him.  She wanted out, he wants her back.  She is due to leave for the Lonely Forest.  There is a small Dryad enclave still holding out there, if she can get there I am certain they would take her in.  The Forest has become more dangerous as of late.  Orcs are on patrol in greater numbers and frequency and the reason remains unknown.  There are also rumors of a great Cursed beast who stalks it at night.  I have already assigned one of my agents to help this Dryad.  The journey may take several weeks, by then I think I can have Silba well under control.  It would be a hard test for your first task for me, but sometimes that is how life is.  So, what do you have to say?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Kaylee listens, quietly as Dulluma lays out her offer.  She's glad to hear that the nymph isn't in the brothel business; she hadn't been sure what she would have said if that had been the price of deliverance.  Though what she was offering sounded more frightening, in some ways.  She's saddened by the story of the Dryad who was being used against her will - she didn't think anyone should be treated like that.  The thought that she could help someone else avoid such a fate, while helping herself at the same time was a pleasing one to her, though the talk of Orcs and Cursed beasts was rather terrifying.<br/><br/>She's silent for a few moments as she thinks things over.  It would seem to solve her immediate problem, as well as giving her something she'd lacked since Dalthun died: a purpose.  Part of her thinks that she's likely getting in way over her head, but she ignores that part and says, quietly, but with conviction, ""I would like to be able to help people with my abilities, even if it will be dangerous.  I've been at sort of loose ends since Dalthun's death, and what you're doing sounds like a worthwhile cause.  If I can do good, and live free of Silba at the same time, well, then I think I shouldn't pass up that opportunity.  I would like in.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ waits as you think things through but when you respond that would like to join she says, ""Excellent.  Welcome to may network of spies and agents.  If you do well, then one day you might be one of my inner circle.  For now, you should be prepared to leave by tomorrow morning.  If you wish the Dryad and her first companion are waiting nearby.  I assume you will need a place to stay.  You may share the room with the Dryad for tonight if you wish.  I will even arrange that you are allowed access to the baths should you so desire.  I would recommend doing so, travelling the forest will not be comfortable.  If you have your own arrangements then that is fine, just be here in the morning.  Would you like me to take you to meet the others?""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Kaylee<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Kaylee smiles at the nymph and says, ""Thank you.  I don't have any preparations to make, really.  What I carry is pretty much what I have, except for my weapons, and I've been assured I'll get those back.  I'm eager to meet those I'll be travelling with, and a place to stay and a bath would be just lovely.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: The next morning by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ nods, ""Then let us go see them now.  I shall have your items brought down to us.""  With that she leads you on through a maze of corridors and rooms.  Sounds of lust and sex echo through the chambers here as you get deeper into the brothel and where their services are apparently rendered.  Taking you to a dead end, Dullûmâ searches the wall for a minute and finding some secret switch the wall moves aside and a circular staircase heads down into darkness.  Dullûmâ mutters some minor incantation and putting a palm up, a blue flame with light the strength of a torch appears.  This blue light illuminates your passage down.  You descend down for a ways and at the bottom the halls are lit once more.  At that point she closes her palm and the flame is extinguished.<br/><br/>""A secret place for more... adventurous activities.""  Although the rooms are vary similar to those above they do seem less used.  She stops at a curtain to one room and pulls it aside...<br/><br/>[move to Before the Dawn thread]<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

After all this time I finally managed to get out of there..mmph...""<br/><br/>Prowling through the darkened woods with all the grace of a hunter, she stays low to the ground..knees bent as she sinks into the water slowly, legs sloshing through the water and causing little ripples as her toned legs follow each little movement of her body, thigh-highs at least keeping her somewhat dry, since the latex-like fabric was water resistant. The little portion of her thighs to the little short, hip-hugging shorts seemed to be quite well-defined for a woman, little hints of muscle doting the creamy-white flesh. And those same black-shorts remained tightly on her hips as she creeps through the forest, the water causing the fabric to clamp a bit more tightly agianst her toned little bottom. The leather vest adorned on her upper half flutters against her body with each step, each thrust forward giving the open-sleeved top an outward bounce, aganist her body, the middle left entirely undone to show off the little top underneath and the midriff of her abdomen, her kunai resting in sheathes on  either side of the back of her thighs for quick, somewhat concealed withdrawal. Huffing as she travels through the wet areas..light reflects in luminescent patterns across her face, golden-blonde hair hanging idly over her shoulders, untied, and combed neatly down --obviously a pink bowtie wasn't going to be good for her position in a jungle. Though she did seem remotely fatigued from all of the running she'd done lately, and hoped this darned bow would be well worth all this trouble.<br/><br/>As a vine strikes up against her foot..her eyes dash about, trying to catch her situation, and letting out a little suprised squeak- beginning to think stopping to smell the flowers wasn't such a ..good idea. Reflexively trying to swat a few away, she tries to align her body in such a way that she can seize her Kunai immediately if neads be, quickly trying to jump back from the area, and seize her kunai, right arm and left leg and vice versa, bringing both slender arms forward in an X as her leather vest tightens her body, aiming the brunt of her slash at the vines that were aimed at the upper half of her body.<br/><br/>""Hmph, you think you can touch me?

Though, just as she manages to get free, her legs are seized, and she lets out a little frustrated gasp from those carnation pink lips, using everything she has to pull herself forward and hack with her hands at the remaining tentacles trying to keep her hands in place, and nearly tumbles over in the little pool of water from doing so, the little bruises on her tummy speaking of her injuries, as well as the open-fleshed diagonal cut on her bra..but her arms just seemed too weak to hit anything, her kunai flying around in no longer trained-strikes...her golden-blonde hair sticking here and there against the back of her neck and cheeks from the sweat lingering on her body..<br/><br/>( 5 - attack - 0 successes.. )<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>The vines wind over Lynessa's body now, her wild swings doing nothing except making the vines hold back a moment.  As she stops to take a breath they streak forward and entangle her legs.  Others grasp her shoulders and elbows as they pin her arms to her side.  She still has her weapons as a single vine grabs her already cut black cami top and rips it open in the front, her breasts spill open to the air and the cami hangs off her shoulders.<br/><br/>She is turned around as vines push against her back and other pull on her legs to draw her to the flower.  Its petals are wide open now and the tentacles inside seethe, her back being forcefully arched as the vines try force her chest into the waiting tentacles.<br/><br/>[You are grappled and pinned, you can still attack since your kunai are small weapons, or you can use your combat pool for offense to try to break free.]<br/><br/>[Private to GM: Vines grapple 4 success, vine defense 0]<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the GM at 10:26, Mon 25 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lynessa<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>""G..guh..what are these things?

A little voice in the back of her head kept on wondering what this..jelly was, and what this plant's purpose really was..though, escaping was definately the first thing on her mind at this point. Trying to fight off the vines, she tries to repel them with her hands ,tugging and yanking as she backsteps in the water, each motion of her slender legs sloshing through the bright blue deeps beneath her, though her boots remain a little muddy.

After it releases her she simply flumps onto the floor in the same rag-doll-state, mixed juices dripping down her face and out of her womanhood, her shorts a few feet away, and her panties at her left foot....barely aware of her surroundings as she stares off to the side with the same blank expression, her arms sprawled out to her side, the only covering on her body being the little vest adorned on her top..<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lilli had joined up with a group of orc hunters in River Forks.  She had lived in and around far for her entire life.  The price on the orc head was too much to ignore.  Though the task of killing for money was a bit distasteful, she figured she could ply her skills as a sneak and let the others get the blood on their hands.  Perhaps this wasn't such a bad idea after all.<br/><br/>Things started well enough, she had joined a group looking for another person skilled in sneaking about to round out their numbers.  She had even had Lynessa, a human woman, among her new companions.  Lynessa's reputation as a theif had preceded her a bit and it looks to have been a good sign.<br/><br/>Things did go well as you were two days into the woods.  Stumbling across an orc outpost it looked like more silver for the wallet.  However, it was a trap. Lilli and Lynessa had set out to scout the area while the others prepared for a fight. Lilli saw the trap but it was too late, she ran back to warn the others but at least three dozen orcs attacked before she could warn them.<br/><br/>In the chaos Lilli heard their elf archer companion yelling to Lynessa to run.  Lilli tried to follow, outwitting two orc persuers as she did.  She could not keep up though and became lost herself.  She figured she better try to follow the direction Lynessa went off on and hope for some luck.  Luck was somewhat on her side as she did stumble across Lynessa a day later.<br/><br/>Unfortunately it was at the end of Lynessa rapture with a cursed plant.  Lilli arrived in the clearing just in time to see the plant spew its ooze onto Lynessa's face, neck and chest, from the copious amounts of fluid on Lynessa Lilli figures that wasn't the first time the plant did that.  It was its last though, for now it seemed.  As the vines let go of Lynessa the woman flops to the ground in front of it, unmoving, but her eyes wide open and staring to the side.  The plant goes quiessent, Lilli had heard that cursed creatures who exhaust themselves on sex become still and seem to 'sleep' for several minutes afterwards.<br/><br/>Looking around, Lilli spies many of these plants in this marshy area of the forest.  The flowers are a couple of feet up on the trunks of several trees, its vines coming from the flower base choking the life from the tree it is attached to as the tree lacks any leaves and looks to be dead.  Even many of the living trees seem to have buds of these cursed plants starting to grow and in several years this area of the forest may be completely overrun.  But that is years from now, for the moment, Lilli is alone and Lynessa lies at the base of one of these plants.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lilli<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lilli was utterly lost, and she knew it.  It had been a full day since she last spied any of her companions.  Her short, leather skirt was covered in swampy muck, as well as her once off-white shirt.  The shirt now clung to her body like a second, filthy skin.  Despite her small size, she was obviously well proportioned, her bust just a little over developed.  She was both thankful and curseful that she was wearing her sandals.  She didn't have to worry about having bootfuls of muck, but her feet felt like prunes, wet and soaked in muck...<br/><br/>Passing around a large dead tree, she saw Lyn lying on the ground, the plant spewing it's fluids over her body.  She had no idea if Lyn was alive or not, but she wasn't going to leave her there in either case.  She hoped the plant would lie dormant for awhile as she ran (sloshed) her way to Lyn.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lynessa<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lyn couldn't even really manage to respond as Lilli began to rush over to her..her mind, body, and soul having been drained from her..her legs twitching a little bit as ooze seeps from beneath them, no longer looking the once proud woman she once was, but a simple, tortured young girl in her same little leather vest..her pants lying a few feet away.<br/><br/>And all the while, not a single response comes towards Lilli..her eyes still left open, still glazed-over with lust, the expression on her face just as good of an indicator of what happened as the mess all over her lithe little form..she needed help, but ..what? Or how?<br/><br/>Look what you've gotten into..you've..got to get your strength back, Lyn. You can't live as a vegetable for the rest of your life..I just need..sleep..yes..sleep..<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lilli finds a safe path towards Lyn.  Although all around her the plants raise tentacles and the blossoms open and close, turning her direction, somehow aware of her presence.  One false move and she may end up like Lyn.<br/><br/>Lyn is clearly still alive, though totally drained by the Cursed plant that sits dormant.  One of its tentacles suddenly lashes around Lilli but falls into the water with a splash.  Is it trying to grasp at her with what little strength it has, or was that some kind of twitch?  Lilli cannot be sure.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lilli<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lilli drew her knife when the vine lashed out at her.  She started moving more quickly, wanting to get to Lyn before the plant woke up.  If she can reach her, Lilli will grab her arms and try to pull her off the ground and into the water, and will then try to drag her through the water to an area of dry land withOUT one of the flowers.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lynessa is large for Lilli, but the halfling manages to get her away.  The water and muck make it easy for her to slide Lynessa to safety.  Once clear of the flowers Lilli manages to find a dry spot in a circle of normal looking, healthy trees nearby.  As she approaches she finds it a little suspicious, not for monsters but because the remains of a campfire and a finshed meal with its remains disguarded to the side she finds there.<br/><br/>The fire and leftovers appear old though, the wood of the fire is wet and the bones picked clean by scavengers. Still, if someone else found respite in these trees then perhaps she could too.  Getting Lyn there takes some effort but can be done.<br/><br/>Without some kind of aid Lynessa remains passed out for the rest of the evening.  The next morning arrives safely and Lynessa groans and her eyes open, lucidity returned to them as she feels some of her strength returned.<br/><br/>[Private to Lynessa: You gain 1 Soul point back.]<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lynessa<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>""Uhhn..""<br/><br/>Slowly forcing herself to sit up with quite a bit of effort, Lyn rubs at her forehead with the back of her hand, her voice still a bit weak.<br/><br/>Though, Seeing Lilli, her lips curl up into a weak smile, her body still a little bit sticky, and..well, mostly naked, save her outer vest that just barely hangs over her chest..<br/><br/>""You saved me...""<br/><br/>Hesitating, the same smile curls up into more of a mischevious one, and she turns up her nose prudishly.<br/><br/>""Hmph! I could have managed, so don't think I owe you or anything! I bet you didn't even get my clothes, or weapon!""<br/><br/>Lyn didn't seem too mean about it, but rather prudish. Though perhaps it was just part of her general attitude...Her kind are used to having to fend for themselves and hate dealing with debts..<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lilli<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lynessa typed:<br/>""Hmph! I could have managed, so don't think I owe you or anything! I bet you didn't even get my clothes, or weapon!""<br/><br/><br/>Lilli smiled, ""Aye, I pulled ya out of your spluge bath, leavin your clothes and every thin else.  If'n ya like, ya can go back and  try an get the stuff back.  I'll watch as the plant has its way wichya...""  The busty little halfling kept smiling, her voice light and joking.  She shows no signs of being offended by Lynessa's words.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lynessa<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lyn seems even more frustrated at Lili's words, but wasn't about to go venture into those...things in an attempt to get her clothes back. Or was she..? Her weapon, and her supplies were there too..and it wouldn't be wise for her to leave her items behind..<br/><br/>""What~ever! I'll go and get them myself then..my equipment's in that mess...ugh. Let's hope the plant is still dormant..I feel like i've been ran over by fifteen horses and left out in the sun to dry..Ooh..I have a headache. ""<br/><br/>Pressing her hand against the back of her head, she rubs against it softly, and forces herself to stand up, albeit a little wobbly, and walks over to the planted area through the water..shivering at the cool splashing against her bare skin..and makes her way to her supplies, a few feet away from the flower that had brutally drained her..and tries to get her supplies, and escape...lips tilting upward to blow a few locks  of hair out of her eyes<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the player at 16:56, Tue 07 June.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lilli watches on as Lynessa returns to the scene.  Fortunately for her the plant does still seem sated and shows little interest in her again.  She quickly snatches her things and exits.  Returning to Lilli unharmed.<br/><br/>The day is still very new.  The sky is still orange with the rising sun but through the thick canopy here they can barely see it.  All seems quiet for now.  Though both you are still quite lost.  That is when, in the distance, you hear a sound.  A scream, perhaps a cry for help?  You may dismiss it a moment as imagination or some animal, but then it repeats itself.  You are sure this time it was a scream.  It sounds some way off, but with the thickness of the forest here it may not be as far away as it sounds.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Lynessa<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lyn's ears pick up the scream from a distance,and her head shifts to the direction of the shrill noise. Though, she slowly gets dressed..sliding on her panties raising one slender leg and sliding them in, and then the next. Her little hot-pants esque shorts are the next to don on her hips..though, she finds that her inner cami top has been drifting in the mud for an undefined number of hours, and decides against wearing it, simply pulling out two strings from a small pouch at her side...and picking up a single kunai, she dilligently punctures two holes in each side of her vest..and loops the strings through vertically..tying them together to keep her vest held against her form. It did show off quite more than a modest amount of cleavage..- leaving the details of her outer breasts shown off between the strings..but at least it worked as clothing..<br/><br/>""Hmph..see. It wasn't that hard after all..ugh...""<br/><br/>Lyn drops to one knee, apparently all of the sudden movement a bit hard still on her beaten and weakened body..but staggers back up to her knees. It was obvious that she could use some help, but she was definately too proud to ask for it. Wobbling a bit, she forces herself to stabilize, although her breath is a litte bit hard..<br/><br/>""Mmgh..so what now..are you..gonna check that out?..I really suggest we just get out of here..this place sucks.""<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Lost in the Forest by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Lilli nods, and offers a hand and shoulder for Lynessa subtly and kindly so that Lynessa does not feel she must take it.<br/><br/>Heading deeper into the forest you follow the sounds of the screams which slowly become moans.  They grow louder and inbetween the groaning and gasping you hear a repeated 'squish' 'squish' 'squish' sound.  Between the trees up ahead you spy what looks like a warrior dryad caught in the grasp of a creature that could be described as a giant, floating jelly-fish.<br/><br/>She is pinned down on her knees, spread wide as the creature's phallus extends out its body, bends to the ground and braces against it, then comes back up between the Dryad's legs as she is forced upon it over and over again.  It is her voice that is the source of the mixed screams and moans.  Her leather halter top has been pulled up to expose her breasts and her skirt has been hoisted up her waist to allow the creature to have at her.<br/><br/>[Continue in the 'The Lonely Forest' Thread.]<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

After adjustments to the attribute scores are made, you then select the sub-attribute levels.  Bonus powers for the race do not require the character meet the requirements.<br/><br/>Elves<br/>Requirements: Minimum Body 2, Minimum Soul 2 - Magical Nature level Blessed, Maximum willpower level Determined.<br/><br/>Elves were and are the mainstay of the Fey races.  They are long-lived and a 'teenager' would be in her forties.  Slender, pale-skinned, fit and good-looking they are also passionate and slightly magical by nature.  Elves exist in all manner of places, forests, plains and mountains with each elf clan adapting to their environment.  Their passion has become a bit of a weakness Cursed creatures can exploit.  Elves have a hard time holding back during sex and tend to climax easier then other races making them easier to drain.  Elves are a favorite prey of the Cursed.  Like all Fey races, elf males have long since perished.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Body +1, Mind -1<br/>- Sharp senses:  Elves have keen senses of sight, smell and hearing and are considered twice as strong as a human in those respects, giving them a bonus die when using powers or abilities related to these sense (see Powers and Doing Things section).<br/>- Cums hard:  When an elf climaxes, she climaxes hard.  She loses double the normal amount of orgasm points for climaxing.<br/>- Bonus Power, Spellcraft:  Elves get the Spellcraft power for free.<br/>- Bonus Power, Weapon Expertise; Elves get the Weapon Expertise Power for free but must take the Bow as the weapon.<br/><br/>Nymphs<br/>Requirements: Minimum Body 3 - MUST take Athleticism level Feeble, Minimum Soul 2 - Maximum Courage Level Bold<br/><br/>Nymphs are sexuality made flesh.  They are well renowned for their capacity to love and make love.  They have a strong spiritual bond to nature and praise it above all else.  Nymphs are physically weak and are shy but possess great beauty.  They are fair-skinned as elves but have near perfect bodies.  The Curse might have hit the Nymphs hardest of all.  They were forced from their relatively unguarded homes in nature to live in crowded, dirty cities to survive.  Nymphs are also prized trophies among both Feyr and humans for being objects of lust.  They live about as long as elves and are only very slightly smaller.  As with other Fey, there are no male Nymphs anymore.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Body +1, Magical Nature sub-attribute is raised by one level for free.<br/>- Lovers, not Fighters: All Nymph's combat dice pools are reduced by 3.<br/>- Go all Night:  Nymphs receive triple normal orgasm points.<br/>- Bonus Power, Stunning Beauty:  Nymphs recieve the Stunning Beauty power as a bonus even if they don't met the requirements.<br/>- Ties to Nature: Nymphs receive the Wild Empathy power for free and get one extra die to their rolls when using this power.<br/><br/>Halflings<br/>Requirments: Minimum Mind 2 - Minimum Smart Level Quick.  Minimum Soul 2.<br/><br/>Halflings are called such as they are about half the size of an elf or human.  They are opportunistic and overly curious which is often expressed as a love to collect things.  They are nomadic by nature and the Curse has left many of them with a wanderlust.  Still, they are quite likable and get along well with pretty much everyone.  They look like miniature versions of elves but their skin tone can be varied.  They age like humans but live a bit longer, usually up to 150 years.  As with all Fey, there are no halfling males.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Mind +1, Body -1<br/>- Sticky Fingers:  Halflings gain the Legerdemain power as a bonus.<br/>- Small size:  Halflings gain one extra die on all defensive combat rolls.<br/>- Thick as Thieves:  Halflings gain the Sneak power as a bonus.<br/>- Cums Hard:  Like their elf cousins, halflings climax hard and lose double the normal amount of orgasm points during climax.<br/><br/>Dryads<br/>Requirments: Minium Soul 3 - Minimum Magical Nature Level Mystic.  Minimum Body 2.<br/><br/>Dryads are close relations to Nymphs and like them share a strong bond to nature.  Unlike Nymphs, Dryads feel a stronger desire to practice magic instead of sex.  They are also not as physically weak.  They have a love/hate relationship with the Nymphs.  Like the Nymphs they were driven from their homes by the curse and their shared bond with nature make them natural friends.  However, although no Dryad would admit it, there is a certain jealousy of the Nymphs.  Dryads are often as beautiful as Nymphs and their bodies share in a lack of any flaws however, they don't have the sexual reputation as Nymphs and secretly wish to be just as desired.  Dryads are typically darker skinned and usually bronze in color.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Body +1, Willpower sub-attribute is raised by one level for free.<br/>- Witches:  Dryads gain the Spellcraft feat twice for free.<br/>- Hidden Desires:  In their wish to be as lusted after as Nymphs, Dryads will rise to orgasm faster then normal.  The number of successes needed to increase a Dryads arousal level is reduced by one (see Sex section).<br/>- Ties to Nature:  Like their Nymph cousin, they share a bond with nature and gain the Wild Empathy power as a bonus and get one extra die to their rolls related to this power.<br/><br/>Fairies<br/>Requirments: Minimum Soul 2.  Minimum Body 2, Minimum Athleticism Level Hardy.<br/><br/>Fairies or Sprites as they are sometimes called are mischievous and light-hearted creatures.  They are small in stature, slightly smaller then halflings but are long lived like elves.  They appear similar to halflings but with longer ears and their skin tone can vary.  They served as spies and scouts in the battles against the Feyr as they can blend in with nature.  Their enigmatic nature makes them a bit unpredictable.  They have a surprising like for sex but, as is their nature, they can go hot to cold in a moment's notice.  They were nomadic and never preferred to sit still for long.  Their desires for the exotic are so strong that it drives them into the wild despite the Curse.  These forays have caused excessive losses amongst their kind and their numbers dwindle.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Wings:  Fairies have silky yet stiff wings which give them flight.  They can fly twice as fast as they can walk and they can hover and fly backwards.<br/>- Small size:  Fairies gain one extra die on all defensive combat rolls.<br/>- Hot to Cold:  Fairies may use their sex dice pool to make a special role during sex.  One time during a sexual encounter they may make a roll against hard difficulty, each success reduces their level of arousal by one immediately.<br/>- Camouflage:  Fairies can blend into their surroundings; they gain the Sneak Power as a bonus and gain one extra die with any roll relating to hiding.<br/>- Good snack:  Fairies unfortunately have a strange weakness against the Curse and their abilities are drained double the normal amount.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the GM at 09:33, Thu 14

GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Humans<br/>Requirements: None<br/><br/>The origin of humans is a bit of a mystery, the first having appeared during the sixth millennia.  Humans were and still are simple, hardy folk.  They are the most diverse in look and shape, unlike Fey and Feyr.  They run the gambit of all types.  That being said, one cannot look at a human and know which side they are on.  There have been traitor Fey and Feyr to their kind but these are rare exceptions.  Humans have no such ties and fight for both sides.  Entire kingdoms have fallen under the influence of the Feyr where humans rule by intimidation.  While those allied with Fey often find an acceptable co-existence.  Most Fey and Feyr find humans wildly unpredictable so relations are often tense.  Most importantly, humans have males and females.  When mated with any Fey or Feyr the offspring is a member of that race.  Only when humans mate together is a human born and there are no half-races.  This makes humans valuable slaves and Dark Elves like to exploit this.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Increase any one sub-attribute by one level for free.<br/>- Humans receive any two bonus powers of their choice for free, but they must met any requirements.<br/>- Humans start with 1 Karma point.<br/><br/>Dark Elves<br/>Requirements: Minimum Body 2, Minimum Mind 2 - Minimum Smarts Level Quick<br/><br/>Dark Elves were said to have been created from Elves by the foul magics of Valadiam.  Their purpose was to combat the Elves more effectively then the other Feyr races could.  Valadiam made one crucial mistake, the Dark Elves had a stronger mind and were more dispassionate then the Elves.  This cold thinking made it more and more difficult for Valadiam to control them and after only a few centuries the Dark Elves revolted against Valadiam under the auspices of a Spider-Queen goddess.  Bred to live underground, they forced out Feyr races and carved a new kingdom of their own.  They have a strict matriarchal militaristic class structure as a society.  When the curse hit and their men were lost, it was of little concern to them.  They seized the opportunity when the surface countryside became very dangerous to travel, clearing out monsters on what would be considered valuable underground paths.  Now they control most travel on the surface world for any significant distance and levy heavy tolls, not always in coin or goods.  Dark Elves have no disdain for slavery and profit well from slave trade, exploiting humans most extensively.  Elves are attractive, slender and fit like elves but have a pale, dark sometimes considered bluish skin.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Mind +1, Soul -1<br/>- Cums Hard: Although they tried to separate themselves out from the Elves, they share this weakness with them and lose double normal orgasm points for climaxing.<br/>- Darkvision:  Dark Elves see perfectly well without light as well as with light.<br/>- Bonus Power, Spellcraft:  Dark elves get the Spellcraft power for free.<br/>- Bonus Power, Alchemists:  Dark elves get the Alchemist power for free.<br/><br/>Orcs<br/>Requirements: Maximum Mind 2, Minimum Body 2 - Maximum Looks Level Good-Looking<br/><br/>Orcs are the mainstay of the Feyr armies whose lives revolve around raid, pillage and plunder.  They are a tribal race who is lead by those strong enough to hold a tribe together through force.  Once the leader becomes weak, he is replaced by someone stronger with the new leader killing the old.  Orcs live in hilly and mountainous areas are brutish and big with greenish skin and black hair.  They have been known to ally themselves with Dark Elves, gaining the ire of other Feyr races, in order to gain access to underground passages to raid and for slaves.  Orcs are known for going wild in battle and are unable to control their most basic desires.  As with all Feyr, there are no orc females anymore.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Mind -1, Body +1<br/>- Well-Endowed: Due to orcs er... large nature, they gain the Good in Bed power for free.<br/>- Wild Warriors: Orcs gain the Berserker power for free.<br/>- Love to Fight: Orcs gain the Weapon Expertise power for free for any weapon of their choice.<br/>- Magic Vulnerable:  Orcs take one extra stun for any damage done by magic spells or effects (not magic weapons).<br/><br/>The Feyr<br/>[Note; The Feyr is a slightly more powerful race then the others listed above and would not normally be considered a playable race.  It is presented here to show how other monsters and creatures players meet might be generated.]<br/>Requirements: Minimum Body 3 - Maximum Looks Level Ugly, Minimum Soul 3<br/><br/>The Feyr are direct creations of Valadiam and their name shares the name of all races under the dark god.  They appear as a roughly spherical blob of soft tissue and pulsating gray matter, like a gigantic brain with a thin layer of skin pulled over it and dripping with ooze.  Its body is roughly five feet in diameter and two large tentacles hang below the body that acts as legs.  Thinner and longer tentacles in a mass that constantly writhe and twine project out from its body.  Numerous sucker mouths and gold eyes with dark pinpoints as pupils seem placed at random at what would be the creature's front.  Its smaller tentacles are surprisingly dexterous and the creatures can wield weapons, weave magic, carry shields and probably eat with knives and forks if that were their nature.  They came from the depths of the sea, like their dark god.  They were all infected with the Curse the day it happened and since then they have spread out from the oceans all over land.  Little is known about their society, it is thought they only serve the whims of Valadiam.  When on land, they live near large bodies of water, a lake, river, large pond or they make an artificial lake if need be.  It is unknown if they have to submerge themselves in water to survive but they like to do so and are excellent swimmers.<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>- Body +1, Soul +1, Mind -1<br/>- Swimmers: The Feyr can swim three times as fast as it can walk.<br/>- Tentacle Sex: The Feyr gain the Good in Bed power for free as they are quite good with their tentacles.  They also receive the Grappler power for free as they quite often try to wrestle down their victims.<br/>- Magic Resistance:  The Feyr take one less stun due to any damage from magic or magical effects (not magic weapons)<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the GM at

GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Powers<br/><br/>All characters can pick two powers.  Powers are special abilities, traits, skills and so on that the characters can perform.  Some have special requirenments that must be met.  They are broken down into three general categories: General Powers, Magic Powers and Sex Powers.  These are only a sampling of things I thought up.  Always feel free to ask me to add more.  Powers marked with a * indicate they can be tried without taking that power, but it is significantly harder (see Doing Things section).  Powers

Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Game Mechanics (con't) - In Progress by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Magic<br/><br/>Anyone still reading?  Phew, good.  I will try to keep it simple.  Magic works much like everything else.  Once you take the Spellcraft power you gain Mana, which is the relative amount of magical power you can control.  Everyone has a magic dice pool, but only people with Mana can cast spells and control magic, without mana the magic dice pool is for defense only.  Like everything else so far, this will not have a lot of detail of individual spells.  You are allowed to make up what fits your character.<br/><br/>Your magic dice pool is your Mind + Magical Nature modifier.  Your mana is equal to your Soul + your Smarts times two. Mana is the power behind your spell.  When you use magic, you decide how much Mana your are going to put behind your spell.  Once you run out of Mana, you can no longer use spells or magic.  Mana is recovered after a full nights (8 hours rest), if rest is interruptted then you gain a fraction of your Mana.  For instance, if you only rest 4 hours, you gain half your Mana back.<br/><br/>Casting Spells<br/><br/>There are 9 spheres of magic:  Light, Dark, Elemental: Fire, Water, Air and Earth, Sexual, Summoning and  Enchantments.  These spheres cover all sorts of magical effects.  In order to use a magical effect you must have access to the sphere or spheres.  You don't have to choose any magical effect, you simply can do whatever effect you want as long as you have access to the required spheres.  All magical effects should require access to 2 spheres.  The power behind the spell is determined by the amount of Mana you put into it. As a general rule, for each point of Mana used in a magical effect, you can either cause one stun damage, target one creature, cause some minor effect which increases in strength with each Mana point.  For each 2 points of Mana, you can have a dice pool bonus of +1.<br/><br/>In order to successfully cast a spell, you need a number of success rolled with your magic dice pool at complex difficulty for each 2 mana used.  So a spell of 1-2 mana needs one success, 3-4 mana needs two successes and so on.  If a spell targets a creature or creatures, they get to make a defensive roll with their magic pool.  If they roll more successes then you, your spell fails to affect them.  If you don't meet the require number of rolls to cast the spell, then obviously the spell fails and it doesn't matter what their counter roll was.  This also creates a maximum amount of mana you can use in any one spell, as you cannot use more mana then your magic dice pool.  If you fail to cast a spell you do not lose Mana.<br/><br/>Sphere Descriptions<br/><br/>Light: Healing, protective or defensive, enhancing and generally non-threating magic is covered by this sphere.<br/>Dark: Causes damage, necromancy, corrupting and generally threatening magic is covered by this sphere.<br/>Elemental: Depending on which elemental group you take, this magic covers these basics aspects of nature's power.<br/>Sexual:  Pretty obvious, anything of a sexual nature.<br/>Summoning: Calling creatures to your aid, seeking knowledge from an outworldy being, creating something from nothing and magical teleportation type effects are covered by this sphere.<br/>Enchantments: Imbibing an item or creature with magical power, influencing the actions of others and mind-influencing magic is covered by this sphere.<br/><br/>The following list of magical effects are just things I thought of.  You can make up any names for spells you want or any other kind of effect using the guildelines here.  Just pass any ideas past me first so we don't have to interrupt the game to discuss it.<br/><br/>Summoning Creatures<br/>Requires Summoning and one other sphere for type of creature.<br/>For each point of mana spent you summon a creature of the elemental type for 5 mintues of servitude.  The strength of the creature is relative to the amount of extra mana you put into the spell.  For each point, the elementals attribute scores are increased by one.<br/>Example: Someone with the Air and Summoning spheres spending 2 mana could summon a small whirlwind creature for 15 mintues to sweep their house [1 (5 minutes time) + 1(elemental's attributes are all 1) = 2].  Or someone with the Earth and Summoning Sphere could call a giant stone creature to fight for them for 20 minutes, bashing down walls and hurling stones for 8 mana [4 (20 minutes) + 4 (attribute scores 4) = 8].  Someone with the Dark sphere could call demonic/devilish creatures while someone with light could summon angelic creatures.<br/><br/>Controlling elements<br/>Requires one of the Elemental Spheres and Enchantment<br/>For each point of mana spent, you can command some power over an element type.<br/>Example: Someone with the Fire and Enchantment could, for 1 mana, snap their fingers and all candles in a room are lit or doused.  For 6 mana and the Water and Enchantment spheres you cause a wave of water to crash against a ship to try to capsize it.<br/><br/>Healing<br/>Requires Light and Enchantment<br/>For each point of mana used, you heal one stun, pretty simple.<br/><br/>Offensive magic<br/>Requires Dark and one other sphere for effect.<br/>For each point of Mana you can target one enemy or cause one stun in damage.<br/>Example: Using 2 mana you can create a burst of flames from your hands to cause one stun to someone if you have the Fire sphere.  Or for 6 mana you can target 5 people with bolts of lightning from your eyes to cause one stun, or for 6 mana you can shock the heck out of one person for 5 stun if you have the Air sphere.<br/><br/>Mind Influencing<br/>Requires Sexual and Enchantment Spheres.<br/>You need to spend as much mana as the subject has Mind points.  Since you don't know their mind score you may need to guess or somehow reduce their Mind attribute.  If successful you can bend them to your will, give them some suggestion that they should follow.  If you use more mana then mind points your influence is stronger.<br/><br/>Sexual Effects<br/>Requires Sexual and Enchantment Spheres.<br/>By spending Mana you can prolong the act of love, make someone desire sex, make them orgasm harder and so forth.  Generally follows the rules as mind-influencing but using their Soul attribute instead.  By spending more points for more targets you could for instance cause an entire to want to enter into an orgy.<br/><br/>Sexual Pain<br/>Requires Dark and Sexual Spheres.<br/>By spending Mana points you can make someone so horny that if they don't satisfy their lust they take physical damage.  Each mana point spent causes one stun damage unless they have sex within a few minutes.  More points could make the time shorter they have to satisfy themselves.<br/><br/>Giving items magical power<br/>Requires Light or Dark and Enchantment spheres<br/>Using the light sphere you could create items that help, magical armor and weapons, or totems, 2 Mana for each extra die to add to the relevant pool.  With the dark sphere you could create cursed items or something with baneful effect, using Mana as above but subtracting from someone's dice pool.  Also, you could simply curse someone or bless them, but targeting a creature requires an extra mana point.<br/><br/>Using Totems<br/><br/>If you have the Totem Magic power you can cast spells at a reduced cost.  A totem can be anything, a wand, a staff, a necklace, a lock of hair, just something to help you use magic.  Each time you take the Totem Magic power, you choose a sphere that the totem applies to.  Every time you use magic involving that sphere the cost is reduced by 1/3 (drop fractions, minimum of 1).  If you have totems for both spheres involved in a magic effect, the cost is 1/2 of normal.<br/><br/>Creating Potions<br/><br/>If you have both the Alchemist and Spellcraft powers you can create potions.  Potions are spells on the go.  The GM may require the gathering of special ingrediants for more powerful types of magic.  Still, the basic rules is you spend one and a half times the normal Mana cost to create a single use potion of whatever magical effect you wish.  You may only create one potion a day.  You of course need some kind of container.  If the magical effect involves some use of a magic dice pool, it has a magic dice pool equal to its creator.<br/><br/>Countering Magic<br/><br/>You may use your magic dice pool to counteract spells if you wish.  This works like combat in that you choose how many dice of your pool to use in defense each round.  The remainder can be used for magical effects.  If you don't have the Spellcraft power your pool can only be used in defense.  Whenever a magical effect affects you, you roll how many dice you choose for defense against complex difficulty and if it is more then the number of success of the caster, the magic does not work against you.<br/><br/>For instance, Cara the Dark Elf shoots bolts of lightning out of her fingertips at Tordek a male human.  She puts 4 mana into the spell and has a magic dice pool of 8.  Tordek has a magic dice pool of 3, he chooses all to use in defense (he has to, he doesn't have the Spellcraf power).  Tordek rolls all failures (a 4, 3 and 2) and Cara rolls 3 successes (6,2,4,6,3,2,5,4). She only needed 2 for the spell to cast and Tordek had rolled less successes then her so he is hit and takes 3 stun damage.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the GM at 10:41, Mon 11 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Game Mechanics (con't) - In Progress by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Combat<br/><br/>The game mechanic for combat is just like above except using your combat dice pool and each round you can choose how many dice you want in defense and how many in offense.  You do not need any special power to use your dice pool for offense.  Your combat dice pool is your Body + Courage Modifier.  You and your opponent roll your offense and defensive dice rolls.  When attacking, the # of successes, versus complex difficulty, rolled more then the defender is how many stuns the defender recieves.  If there are multiple attackers as a defender you only get your one dice pool and you can assign how many of your defense dice goes to counter which attacker. If you are unarmed your combat dice pool is reduced by 2.<br/><br/>To countinue our example.  As Tordek is blasted he charges Cara, he has a combat dice pool of 9 with his scimitar and Cara only has a combat dice pool of 3.  At the beginning of the round, Tordek wasn't sure what Cara was going to do so he 'set aside' 3 dice for defense, leaving him with 6 for offense.  Cara choose to use her whole pool for defense but she uses magic mostly and is unarmed, so her dice pool drops to only 1.  Tordek rolls 3 successes (6,5,1,6,2,4) while Cara rolls 1 successes (6) so he hits her for two stun damage.<br/><br/>Ranged Weapons<br/><br/>Ranged weapons work a little differently.  Ranged weapons have a range increment of 30ft and thrown weapons have a range increment of 10ft.  Defenders do not get an opposing roll to defend (except if they have the Dodge Power).  For each range increment you need one success roll.  So using a bow on a target 90ft away requires 3 successes to hit.  Hits cause 1 stun + any extra successes rolled.  You are not considered armed if you have a ranged weapon in melee combat.<br/><br/>Grappling<br/>Wrestling down, grappling, tripping and the act of physically tumbling around together is handled like combat except there are certain steps you follow.<br/><br/>Step one is to begin a grapple.  The person who wants to start the grapple rolls his or her combat dice pool against the defender just like regular combat.  But instead of dealing stun damage, if the attacker rolls more successes (it doesn't matter how many) they start a grapple.  If the opponent is armed they get a free attack roll at their maximum dice pool against you, you can use any dice set aside for defense to counter this roll.<br/><br/>Step two is to pin your opponent.  The round after you start a grapple you can try to pin your opponent.  This works the same as above but since they are already grappling your opponent does not get a free attack roll.  If the attacker is successful the defender is pinned.<br/><br/>Step three the attacker can now perform special grappling moves.  They roll attack just like above and can have the following effects or something along these lines:<br/><br/>Strip - the attacker can rip away, tear open, or otherwise remove some piece of clothing.<br/>Forced Sex - assuming the attacker has removed some of that pesky clothing, they can ravage, rape or force the defender to engange in a sexual act, whichever way you like to call it.<br/>Damage - the attacker can damage the defender just like regular combat, one stun for each success greater then the defender.<br/>Toss/Throw - the attacker can throw or shove the defender in any direction they choose.  Note that the limits on this are common sense as a weak fairy might not be able to hammerthrow a human twenty feet over a cliff.<br/><br/>What you can do while being grappled<br/>While you are being grappled you are not helpless.  If you have access to some small weapon you can attempt to attack with it via normal rules but you are still grappling at the same time.  You can use dice in your combat dice pool for 'offense'.  If you roll more successes then the person grappling you, you push back the grappler one step, if you are pinned you become grappled and if you are grappled you break free.  You can still try to use magic but the difficulty becomes hard for you.<br/><br/><br/>Special Moves<br/>Sometimes you want to knock something out of someone's hand, skillfully cut away a woman's skirt, disarm an opponent or something to that effect.  It is handled like regular combat, except that instead of causing damage you cause the desired result.  The GM may alter the difficulty needed depending on what you want to do.<br/><br/>Damage<br/><br/>Each player can take a certain amount of damage before they are subdued.  Damage is broken down into stuns and injuries.  When you recieve damage, you usually receive an amount of stuns and depending on your attributes, you can take a certain amount of stuns before it becomes an injury.  You can sustain as many injuries as your Body attribute.  The number of stuns you can take before you get injured is 2 + Courage Modifier (minimum of 1).  When you sustain your maximum number of injuries you are subdued.  At that point, an enemy can attack you one more time(see subdued condition) and deal a mortal wound.  A mortally wounded character will either have to be healed or make a special check each hour or die.  Each injury incures a -1 to all dice pools per injury.<br/><br/>For example, Tordek has Body 4 and Courage level Steadfast.  4 stuns is an injury for him.  Cara also has a Body 4 but her Courage level is Normal so she can only take 2 stuns for an injury.  Their Character Sheets would have a section like this:<br/><tt class=""bbc_tt""><br/>Tordeck<br/>Injury          [ ]         [ ]         [ ]         [ ] [ ]-Mortally Wounded<br/>Stuns  [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>Cara<br/>Injury    [ ]   [ ]   [ ]   [ ] [ ]-Mortally Wounded<br/>Stuns  [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/></tt><br/>In the example where Cara the dark elf blasted him with lightning and Tordek injured her in combat they would record the damage like this:<br/><tt class=""bbc_tt""><br/>Tordek<br/>Injury          [ ]         [ ]         [ ]         [ ] [ ]-Mortally Wounded<br/>Stuns  [X][X][X][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>Cara<br/>Injury    [X]   [ ]   [ ]   [ ] [ ]-Mortally Wounded<br/>Stuns  [X][X][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/></tt><br/>So even though Tordek took more stuns, he is not yet injuried.  Meanwhile Cara only suffered 2 stuns but that was enough for one injury and she has -1 to all her dice pools.<br/><br/>Attribute Damage<br/><br/>Certain damage might be done your attributes, Sex Drain by a Cursed creature is a good example.  As your attributes go down your sub-attributes DO NOT.  Of course as your attributes go down and dice pools that rely on them go down with it.  If your attribute is reduced to 0 then you no longer gain any modifiers from your sub-attributes, no matter how high (penalties still apply).  You also suffer the following problems:<br/><br/>Body 0 means you are physically drained and pass out.<br/>Mind 0 means your mind is blanked out and you are in torpor, staring blankly and unable to respond to anything.  With a Mind 0 you are also extremely vulnerable to mind-influencing magic.<br/>Soul 0 means your very life energy is exhausted and you fall into a coma-like state.<br/><br/>Healing<br/><br/>You heal naturally as long as you are not mortally wounded or some other condition prevents your healing.  You heal stun damage naturally at 1 + Athleticism modifier for each complete 8 hours of rest.  You heal attribute damage at one point per full day (24hours) rest.  If multiple attributes are damaged you can choose which one heals per day.<br/><br/>Conditions<br/><br/>These are the various conditions one can suffer from in the game and their consequences.  This may only be a partial list as more input is added to the game.<br/><br/>Fatigued<br/>You are exhuasted, be it from strenuous physical activity, starvation, or exposure to the elements and so on.  All dice pools are lowered by half, this is applied BEFORE any other penalties or bonuses.  Doing any activity beyond rest that is more then moderate activity causes you one stun damage.<br/><br/>Helpless<br/>You are helpless if you are somehow paralyzed, unconsious, sleeping, bound tight and so on.  Attacks and Magic against you become difficulty easy and you cannot counter-roll.<br/><br/>Mortally Wounded<br/>You are mortally wounded and dying.  You cannot do anything save lie there and maybe talk and move only a slight bit.  Unless you are healed, each hour you must make a roll using your Body attribute as your dice pool against hard difficulty or you die.<br/><br/>Spent<br/>You have no orgasm points left and are spent sexually and can no longer be aroused.  Women can still lie there and allow their partners to finish if they have to but men have it a little more difficult.  A woman can try to keep going with a spent man but she has to make a success on hard difficult with her sex dice pool or he becomes just too flacid to continue.  The first sex round needs one success, the second round needs two, third round needs three and so on.  For each round she is successful she gets one arousal.<br/><br/>Subdued<br/>You have sustained the maximum amount of injuries you can.  All dice pools are lowered by half, this is applied BEFORE any other penalties or bonuses.  You cannot fight but you can still defend yourself.  You should not use magic or any powers or attacking.  You may attempt any of these activities but it autmatically results in a mortal wound.  An attacker can attack you as normal, with magic or combat or any such way.  If it is successful you recieve a mortal wound.<br/><br/>This

Your sex dice pool is your Soul + Looks modifier.  Unlike combat everyone has four levels of ecstasy, Aroused, Excited, Rapture and Climax.  The number of arousals needed to reach each level of ecstasy is you Soul + Willpower score.  You also have orgasm points, which is basically how long you can go before becoming spent.  Each time you reach climax you lose some orgasm points.  The number of Orgasm points you have is your Body + Courage Modifier.<br/><br/>For example, Cara the Dark Elf has Body 4, Looks level Beautiful, Soul 4 a courage level of normal and only a Willpower level of Foolish.  Her sex dice pool is 7 but the number of arousals to reach each level of ecstasy is 3 and she has 4 orgasm points. On her character sheet it would like like this:<br/><tt class=""bbc_tt""><br/>Ecstasy      A[ ]     E[ ]     R[ ]     C[ ]<br/>Arousal [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/></tt><br/><br/>During sex, you choose how much dice to use for 'offense' and how much for 'defense'.  For each success against easy difficultly greater then your partner for rolling offense, they gain one arousal.  When you reach climax, you lose a number of orgasm points equal to 1 plus how many success over the number needed to bring you to climax.  If you are not brought down to 0 orgasm points, your ecstasy level drops down to Aroused and you can start over again.<br/><br/>Oral Sex and Masturbation<br/><br/>Should you somehow need to roll for Masturbation, you simply use your sex dice pool against yourself and you cannot roll any defense.  If you are giving or getting oral sex and are not reciprocating somehow, when you are the giver you can only use your sex dice pool for 'offesne' and when you are the reciever you can only use your dice pool for 'defense.'<br/><br/>For example.  Cara bests Tordek in their fight.  According to their bet, he now has to give her oral sex.  They have been going at it for a while and she is nearing orgasm, her character sheet looks like this:<br/><tt class=""bbc_tt""><br/>Ecstasy      A[X]     E[X]     R[X]     C[ ]<br/>Arousal [X][X][X][X][X][X][X][X][X][X][ ][ ]<br/></tt><br/>Let's say Tordek's sex dice pool is 5.  Since he is giving oral sex he can only use all 5 for offense while Cara uses her 8 for defense.  The next sex round he rolls 3 successes but she rolls 4, so she gains no arousal and she is locked in Rapture and arches her back as Tordeck goes down on her some more.  The next round he rolls 4 successes while she rolls none.  So she gains 4 arousals.  It takes two for her to reach Climax, so she loses 1 orgasm point + 2 more for the extra two success, a total of 3.  She is a dark elf though, and Cums Hard so she loses double normal, for a grand total of 6.  She has no more points left and falls on her back, spent but smiling.<br/><br/>Recovery and more Sex<br/><br/>You re-gain orgasm points at the rate of 1 per hour, resting or not.  So if you wait an hour, you are ready to go again.  The number of orgasm points you have doesn't matter, as long as you have 1 you can engage in sex.<br/><br/>If you are engaged in sex but cannot perform, such as being spent, the partner can volunatrily raise their arousal level by 1 for each round they manage to be able to keep the other one going.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the GM at 16:23, Tue 12 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: Game Mechanics (con't) - In Progress by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Karma<br/><br/>There are no 'levels' in this system. Instead you gain Karma points.  These are rare to receive and valuable to have.  They can be used in four ways:<br/><br/>1. Spend 1 Karma point to have any one roll you need to make be all 6s instead of actually rolling the dice.<br/><br/>2. Spend 2 Karma points to gain a new power.<br/><br/>3. Spend 4 Karma points to raise an attribute by one.<br/><br/>4. Spend 5 Karma points to raise an attribute by one AND either of its sub-attributes by one.<br/><br/>Doing Things<br/><br/>The game is meant to be a bit flexible.  The rules are in place to give role-playing guidelines.  Combat, sex and magic are basically covered but what about everything else?  Certain Powers you can choose are like skill sets, those that don't have the Power related to that, such as not having the Sneak Power but you still want to hide, have their difficulties raised to Hard while the opposing person still checks against complex.<br/><br/>If you have the appropriate power and a large amount of time there is no reason to roll dice.  If you steal a small chest and bring it to your home to pick, if you have the Legerdemain power you can just to assume to be able to open it eventually.  If you do not have the appropriate power then you can try rolling once and that is all, otherwise you'll have to find another way, like smashing it open.  Certain situations might call for rolls if the GM thinks it is required but these are when the timing of the outcome may matter.  Most of the time though you can simply compare abilities and attributes and use that a basis for what is going to happen, consensual sex wouldn't need any rolls for instance (unless there is some contest involved, sex duel anyone?)<br/><br/>When time nees to be broken down for combat, it is called combat rounds and each combat round is about 30 seconds.  Each player decides what they want to do in whatever order the GM thinks makes sense (he could require a roll if the timing really matters) and decided how they are going to divide up their dice pools.  In the case of movement normal human sized people move about 150ft in one combat round, while small things could move about 100ft.  Sex rounds could be considered 5 combat rounds and each resolution for sex would occur after 5 rounds of combat, should that situation ever happen.<br/><br/>Items and Equipment<br/><br/>You can pretty much have whatever you think makes sense.  In the beginning you are allowed at total of 3 special effects on your items.  Special items are things that have an increase in your abilities or some special effect.  Details are broken down by the basic items:<br/><br/>Weapons<br/><br/>There is no special rules for certain weapons.  How much damage it causes and its effects are based on your combat dice pool rolls.  However, magic weapons give extra dice to your combat pool.  Each extra dice is considered a special effect so to start you could have a weapon that gives a +3 on your combat dice pool and no other special items.  Weapons could cause other effects as well, such as poisoning or extra stun.    You can also think of weapons as a more general term.  You may want a wand that gives you extra dice in your magic pool for offensive magic and the like.  Just please run all ideas past the GM.<br/><br/>Armor<br/><br/>Normal armor is considered a special item.  They absorb stuns from combat (not magic).  There are two classes, light armor (1 effect item) absorbs one stun from each attack and heavy armor absorbs two stuns (2 effect item).  Magical armor gives extra dice to the combat pool when making defense rolls.  Other effects could be something like the armor also provides protection against magic.  Feel free to use armor as a more general term, if you want an amulet that protects you from damage by absorbing stuns that would be fine.  Or a ring that gives you extra dice to defense in your magic pool and so forth.<br/><br/>Shields<br/><br/>Shields give a plus to your combat dice pool but only in defense.  A normal shield would give a +1 to the dice pool (and is considered a special item).<br/><br/>Equipment<br/><br/>A catch all for anything else.  A special set of lock-picks that makes the difficutly on the check easy could be a special effect item.  A knotted, strong rope that makes the check to climb a wall easier.  A magical cloak that gives you more dice on your skill dice pool for Sneak could be something else.  Again, just run ideas past the GM.<br/><br/>The Curse<br/><br/>Creatures infected with the Curse have a template applied to them, giving them bonus powers, attributes and more.  This template is kept secret, for now, so players won't know exactly what to expect.<br/>"

During the fourth millennia, Valadiam, attempt to subvert the elves and his perverse magic created the dark elves.  The god found them too difficult to control and they eventually revolted, making enemies of both the Fey and Feyr to become a power unto themselves and worshipped a spider-queen goddess.  They retreated to the underground and created a kingdom there.<br/><br/>During the sixth millennia came the humans.  Their origins remain shrouded in mystery.  They were neither Fey nor Feyr but it was found they were somewhere in between.  When mated with either, the offspring would be Fey or Feyr, only when humans mated with humans was there a human baby.  Humans could be both kind and cruel, although mostly aligned with the Fey, cults arose worshipping the Feyr and some entire human kingdoms swore allegiance to Valadiam.<br/><br/>Everything changed at the beginning of the ninth millennia.  Somehow, Valadiam found the location of the Heartstone deep in its mountain hold.  The Feyr penetrated the fortress leading to the artifact and using magic, trapped Aþašân there.  Valadiam took the goddess then and there, ravaging her and forcing her to pleasure.  As the dark god’s seed poured into Aþašân the Heartstone became cursed.  Valadiam’s perverse magic flowed through the Heartstone and into the land.  Where it once was a blessing it now was a curse.<br/><br/>Creatures became twisted, sexually deviant beings that no longer need water or food but drink from the souls of their victims, draining their life energy as they are brought to heights of ecstasy.  Many of the Feyr themselves fell victim to the curse.  Aberrations of seemingly endless number wander the land and even many magical creatures have mutated under the curse.<br/><br/>The land no longer gave its boon to the Fey and worse yet even some of the plants became twisted with the curse.  For centuries there was confusion and chaos were the denizens of the world tried to figure out what had happened. During this time, the Feyr attacked in force, and after eons of defeat the Feyr found victory.<br/><br/>Worse yet, during the curse all males of the Fey withered and perished, leaving behind only women.  Because of their nature, even the dark elves lost all their men.  Strangely, the power of Valadiam had a dramatic effect on the Feyr too and all females were lost to them, leaving behind only men.  Suddenly the race of humans had great value to both sides as mating with a human would be the only way to continue their races.  The dark elves, already highly matriarchal, struck out as well against their surface world elf nemesis and against the Feyr who plagued the world under the surface.<br/><br/>After a thousand years of the curse the world has become broken.  Human settlements are raided by the Feyr while the Fey bargain and can even sometimes co-exist with them.  The countryside has become very dangerous even to cultivate the land so food and resources have become scarcer.  Traveling long distances is nearly suicide so there is little trade.  The dark elves have founded an underground empire which they allow surface dwellers to use.  These passages are safer but the dark elves extract heavy tolls from those wishing to use them.<br/><br/>Life is centered on giant cities that are more like fortresses and have become city-states that govern over their people and what surrounding lands they can manage to control.  Each race tailors these cities to their own likes and culture.  Human build from stone, elves twist large forest trees through magic into cities, orcs build vast mounds of mud and earth.  Each only exists to feed itself yet hope remains that somehow the curse will be broken and the people of Esin can emerge from darkness of their hiding one day.<br/>"

on the northwest coast of a small continent that is known for warm, pleasent weather.  Far was formed by humans from the Sun Empire to the south as a northern port a few centuries before the Curse.  After the Curse it became a place where the Fey of the surrouding outer lands could retreat to.  The Sun Empire had been in a long standing war with many enemies and this port was mainly used to build ships for their war-fleet, so it was well defended.<br/><br/>A road ran through the Lonely Forest to the south of the city and connected it to the Empire's various states there.  However the Lonely Forest was overrun by Feyr, mostly Orcs, in the first century after the curse and contact with the Empire was cut by land.  The orcs built a powerful stronghold which itself became a large orc city at the roads exit from the forest at the south.  The seas became too dangerous to sail and soon all contact with the Sun Empire was severed.  The city was flooded with Fey and humans retreating from the countryside being overrun by Feyr and Cursed creatures.  The city did its best to accommidate all but in the beginning there was much chaos and fighting among its many citizens.  The Sun Empire revolved around a Republic government so the city adapted that and has an Assemby of elected citizens that make the day to day city desicions.  The former governor of the Sun Empire who was in charge of the territory had his home in Far, so he was crowned Far's supreme general and that post became the head of the city's military and has become passed down by heredity.  Over time, the need for the refugees and various races to band together to survive overcame their other squabbles.  Although to this day the result of the initial fighting has divided up the city into districts where people of the same race tend to gather together.<br/><br/>Feeding everyone became very difficult, the sea was still bountiful for fishing but The Feyr roam the coastline attacking ships and will sometimes raid the city.  The surrounding land is a bit rocky for farmland and does not produce enough.  The village of River Fork is a mere 16 miles away along the Scion River.  Its location at the fork of the Scion and Pain's Rivers is in lush plains that make good farmland.  That 16 miles has become extremely dangerous with the Curse.  The citizen's of Far, against the wishes of most Fey, came to a rather draconian pack with the dark elves who live in the mountains to the north.  Secure passage back and forth from the village in exchange for slaves.  A yearly lot is held among all who come of age and 50 are sent to the dark elves.  Still, the secure passage has ensured River Fork's crops can feed the people of Far.  River Fork is defended by the armies of Far and as Far became a city-state unto itself, River Fork is under its control.  The people of River Fork did not seem to mind too much as they were sparsely populated before the Curse and could not defend themselves.<br/><br/>North of Far is a large mountain range, a small are of lowlands along the coast would allow travel north but even going near the range is dangerous.  The dark elves and Illithiad have been waging a war for millenia both above and below its peaks.  Anyone wandering too close could be taken by either side.  The Illithiad enslaved many humans over the centuries and entire barbaric clans of humans devoted to fighting for their Illithiad masters have taken root in the mountains.<br/><br/>South, beyond the Lonely Forest, the land turns into mudflats and wastelands, save along the Pain's River valley which was followed into the Sun Empire.  Although elf and human records do have information for what is further south, so much has probably changed it is not considered reliable.  East of Pain's rivers there are some lowlands where the land becomes marsh and swamp before becoming beautiful meadows around the Dark Shadows Forest.  The Grit Stronghold, named after a human warlord who dominated the lands befor ethe curse, is centered between the meadows and marsh.  Ones the marsh, meadows and Pain's river valley were dotted with nomadic humans and some Fey.  The humans fled to the Stronghold after the curse and kept out all Fey, hoping they would be ignored by the Feyr.  They were not and the Feyr overran the city and it is now in control by human warlords who ally with the Feyr.<br/><br/>The Dark Shadows forest is infected deeply by the Curse.  A powerful human wizard who called himself the Dark Shadow stole an ancient artifact said to contain great magical power from the elves who once lived there.  When the Curse descended on the lands he found it easy to raid the old temple where it was kept and steal it.  To his dismay the artifact, the Codex of Arcana, could only be touched by women.  If he could not have it, no one could.  He left the Codex in its temple but weave powerful magic that enhanced the Curse in the forest.  The forest itself and its plants are said to be Cursed now and anyone so foolish as to search for the Codex is likely to be taken by the forest and never seen again."

393,[Labrynth] Rules and Characters,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=1859.0,"21-09-2005, 22:34:51",Cosmo_ac,"CHARACTER CREATION<br/><br/><br/>This is the section of the game where it gives you instructions on how to create your character.  Special thanks go to Demon Queen for helping to refine this part of the game.<br/><br/><br/>What Are Class Scores?<br/><br/>Basically, class scores show what your characters are capable of doing. Each character has initial score to work with depending on the class they choose. Because of that, each character will be unique and excel in different areas. While the group doesn’t have to have one of every class, it is probably a good idea to make up for the weaknesses of each available class.<br/><br/>Strength: This is used in combat to calculate attack and defense rolls, and for feat checks for tests of strength.<br/><br/>Endurance: This is used to judge how well a character can endure prolonged physical stress. It is mainly used for feats and enduring tickling.<br/><br/>Dexterity: This determines how agile your character is and usually is used in feats, or if a character sets off a trap and must make a dexterity save roll.<br/><br/>Magic: This is mainly used for combat to calculate magic attack and defense rolls.<br/><br/>Willpower: This is used to determine how well a character can handle sexual attacks. It is also used for feat saves against interrogation.<br/><br/>Charisma: This determines how good a character looks and how well they can talk with another character. A character with a high Charisma is more likely to convince another character (NPC) of something.<br/><br/>Tickling: This determines how good of a tickler the character is. Tickling skills are used to interrogate or torture people, and can also be used in combat.<br/><br/>Sex: This determines how good you are at sex. Sex can be an effective way of interrogating or torturing a character.<br/><br/>Luck: This attribute is different from all the rest. Once per game day, you may choose to re-roll a previous roll. The new roll must be taken, even if it is worse than the old roll. The number of times you can do this is your luck attribute divided by 2.<br/><br/>Hit Points: Hit Points are basically your life points. When you get hit, you deduct a certain amount of points from your hit point total. If you lose all your hit points, your character loses consciousness until the fight is over, or they are revived. When the fight ends, they wake back up with 1 hit point.<br/><br/>Stamina Points: Stamina Points are like life points. If your character is sexually pleasured, or tickled, they will lose the appropriate amount of stamina points. If you lose them all, your character passes out from exhaustion. When a character loses the points during a fight, they remain unconscious until the fight is over, or they are revived. When the fight ends, they wake up with 1 point of stamina. Stamina points can also be used to perform special moves.<br/><br/>Magic Points: Magic Points are needed to cast magic spells. When a magic spell is cast, points are subtracted. When those points are gone, you can not cast spells anymore.<br/><br/>Movement: Movement determines how many spaces your character can move during their turn during combat.<br/><br/>Determining Your Character's Base Score:<br/><br/>These are the starting attributes for each class. You have two options available to you. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION HERE.<br/><br/>You can either take this numbers: 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1 and add them to your class scores to obtain your base score OR you can randomly roll for your base score.<br/><br/>A quick thing note if you take the pre-generated numbers. You can adjust them how you like for a point-by-point basis. So you can have the numbers: 6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1. I hope that this is clear. However, you may not a starting score of zero using this.<br/><br/>Once you have looked these over, and also looked over the Races, generally picking one which best suits the class you want, you roll 1d6 a total of 9 times. You then take those numbers and add them to whatever class score you want (not including HP/SP/MP or movement). These new scores become your base score. These base score will be used later in the game for a variety of things. Your current score may change during the game at times, but potions and rest may return them to their original base score.<br/><br/>SIZE DOES MATTER<br/><br/>After that, you only need to roll for your penis size (males) and breast size (females), and you’ll be all set. They are certain bonuses and penalties associated with having a larger member (men) or bigger breasts (female). Each person must make a roll with a 1d6 once, like any other attribute.<br/><br/>If you choose the Sexual Gift: Right Size, you will be able to pick the size you want. A more thorough discussion of Gifts and Flaws will be in another section so just keep it in mind for now.<br/><br/>Penis Size:<br/><br/>For men the size result is as follows:<br/><br/>1 = 4-5 inches, testicles the size of strawberries: Remember, it is not the size that matters, but how you use it. You receive no bonuses, but you also receive no penalties.<br/><br/>2 = 6-7 inches, testicles the size of walnuts: Absolutely average. Nothing to gawk at, but still a lady-pleaser. You receive no bonuses, but you also receive no penalties.<br/><br/>3 = 8-9 inches, testicles the size of plums: Hey, you might not be the biggest cock on the walk, but you're still bigger than a lot of guys. You receive no bonuses, but you also receive no penalties.<br/><br/>4 = 10-11 inches, testicles the size of oranges: Damn, that’s some impressive meat in between your legs. You receive a +1 bonus to your Charisma when talking to females and get a +1 bonus to your sexual attacks for pleasuring the ladies with your member. However, you also get a –1 to your charisma when talking with men, and a –1 penalty to your willpower rolls when your being pleasured. (Bigger penis, more nerve endings, more pleasure, right?)<br/><br/>5 = 12 inches, testicles the size of lemons: WHOA! Somebody go see if a horse is missing somewhere. You receive a +2 bonus to your Charisma when talking to females and get a +2 bonus to your sexual attacks for pleasuring the ladies with your member. However, you also get a –2 to your charisma when talking with men, and a –2 penalty to your willpower rolls when your being pleasured.<br/><br/>6 = 13-15 inches, testicles the size of apples: MY GOODNESS! Are you sure that you aren't related to Godzilla? You receive a +3 bonus to your Charisma when talking to females and get a +3 bonus to your sexual attacks for pleasuring the ladies with your member. However, you also get a –3 to your charisma when talking with men, and a –3 penalty to your willpower rolls when your being pleasured.<br/><br/>Note: Barbarians, because of their natural large size, roll a 1d6+1 dice, adding 1 to the final number to determine the size. However, the same penalties apply. Also, in the game there will be magical items which can increase, and decrease the size of the male member.<br/><br/>Note: In this game, impotence is extremely rare, and not really a problem for most men. In fact, men will often have a harder time trying to keep it down, as opposed to keeping it up. No too surprisingly, baggy pants are all the rage.)<br/><br/><br/>Now, I know some of the females might be a little antsy about being pounded by a 15-inch monster, but rest assured, in this continent, most, if not all, woman are able to take on the biggest of cocks without any pain, and could probably deep-throat a horse if the need ever came up.<br/><br/>Breast Size:<br/><br/>For women, the size is as follows:<br/><br/>1 = A cup: You are as flat as a board. The men you attract are most definitely in to you because of your posterior. You receive no bonuses, but no penalties.<br/><br/>2 = B cup: You have small, perky breasts. They say that more than a mouthful is a waste and you agree. You receive no bonuses, but also no penalties.<br/><br/>3 = C cup: You're not the most buxom lady in the land, but you still have some pretty decent tits. You receive no bonuses and receive no penalties.<br/><br/>4 = D cup: Woo hoo! Those are some fine looking breasts! You receive a +1 bonus to your Charisma when talking to males and get a +1 bonus to your sexual attacks for pleasuring the man with your breasts. However, you also get a –1 to your charisma when talking with women, and a –1 penalty to your willpower rolls when your being pleasured, if your breasts are being stimulated.<br/><br/>5 = DD cup: WHOA! Quick, somebody give me some bills! You receive a +2 bonus to your Charisma when talking to males and get a +2 bonus to your sexual attacks for pleasuring the man with your breasts. However, you also get a –2 to your charisma when talking with women, and a –2 penalty to your willpower rolls when your being pleasured, if your breasts are being stimulated.<br/><br/>6 = G cup: *gawks for a long time* Are those things even real?!? You receive a +3 bonus to your Charisma when talking to males and get a +3 bonus to your sexual attacks for pleasuring the man with your breasts. However, you also get a –3 to your charisma when talking with women, and a –3 penalty to your willpower rolls when your being pleasured, if your breasts are being stimulated.<br/><br/>Note: Since Amazons are naturally bigger then most woman, so are their breasts. Amazon characters roll a 1d6+1 dice, adding 1 to the final score to determine breast size. All regular penalties and bonus to size still apply.<br/><br/>Note: Breasts are different then the penis, simply in the sense that breasts are generally not used to pleasure men. However, woman can use their breast size bonus for a combination blowjob/titfuck. The male in question though that is having this technique done on them must be 8 inches or larger though.<br/><br/>I know some of the ladies might worry about having such large breasts, but worry not. In this land a woman’s breasts are always incredibly perky, and very light, so you’ll never have to worry about lower back pains. Finding a shirt that fits on the other hand, might be a challenge ;) .<br/><br/>Now, as far as pregnancies go, don’t worry about it. Before a woman is able to get pregnant in this country, she must first ingest a special pill. The affects of the pill only last a few hours, and do not guarantee pregnancy by any means.<br/><br/>CLASS INTRODUCTION<br/><br/>I will now list each class, and their starting scores.<br/><br/>Fighter: Fighters are the backbone of any group. They are the people who are right on the frontlines, giving protection to the weaker members of the party. When it comes to challenges of strength or endurance, fighters are the best choice. However, they are particularly susceptible to magic.<br/><br/>Strength: 6<br/>Endurance: 6<br/>Dexterity: 4<br/>Magic: 0<br/>Willpower: 5<br/>Charisma: 2<br/>Tickling: 2<br/>Sex: 2<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit Points: 28<br/>Stamina Points: 28<br/>Magic Points: 0<br/>Movement: 4<br/><br/>Starting Tech: Power Swing. The fighter will put all his weight behind his swing. He will do +2 extra points of damage, but will lose 2 points for accuracy when attacking. Cost: 2 stamina points<br/><br/><br/>Sword Dancer: Sword Dancers are a known throughout the land for there legendary sword skills.  Originating from the far east, the sword dancers fighting style consists of the use of a one sided blade, known as a “Katana”.  This sword is used in conjunction with fast, almost acrobatic movements.  A sword master tends to prefer a fit, but not overly muscular form, trading speed for strength.  It is said that a master Sword Dancer can be faster then the human eye with there sword when need be.<br/><br/>Strength: 5<br/>Endurance: 6<br/>Dexterity: 6<br/>Magic: 0<br/>Willpower: 6<br/>Charisma: 0<br/>Tickling: 0<br/>Sex: 0<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit Points: 24<br/>Stamina Points: 28<br/>Magic Points: 0<br/>Movement: 5<br/><br/>Duel Slash:  Using this technique, a Sword Dancer can make two attacks in one round.  Cost: 2 stamina points.<br/><br/>Cleric: Not as tough as a fighter, but still able to get into the fray. Clerics are the groups healers. While they can certainly do some damage in combat, their main job is to help weakened friends recover with there support magic, curing wounds and poisons. Clerics for the most part are fairly rounded. However, because most clerics have very limited experience with members of the opposite sex and have poor sex score to begin with. However, clerics are particularly good when it comes to tickling, being trained in the order on how to use this skill as a means of making people talk.<br/><br/>Strength: 4<br/>Endurance: 4<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Magic: 5<br/>Willpower: 4<br/>Charisma: 2<br/>Tickling: 4<br/>Sex: 0<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit Points: 24<br/>Stamina Points: 24<br/>Magic Points: 20<br/>Movement: 4<br/><br/>Starting Tech: Divine Blessing: The cleric will call upon there god or goddess to bless the target of their choice, within one movement square with +2 hit points, +2 magic points, and +2 stamina points. This effect is not stackable. Cost: 1 stamina point.<br/><br/><br/>Inquisitor:  Inquisitor’s are the interrogators of the religious order.  Their primary job is to obtain information.  Because of that they are taught more extensively in the ways of tickle torture then ordinary clerics.  However, because so much time is spent practicing there methods of persuasion, they aren’t as skilled when it comes to healing as there brethren.  Because of this, the Inquisiter must automatically take the spells Summon feather, and Tickling hands.<br/><br/>Strength: 4<br/>Endurance: 4<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Magic: 5<br/>Willpower: 4<br/>Charisma: 2<br/>Tickling: 6<br/>Sex: 0<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit Points: 22<br/>Stamina Points: 22<br/>Magic Points: 20<br/>Movement: 4<br/><br/>Starting Tech:  Three times a day an inquisitor can cast Detect tickling weakness.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Thief: If you want a lock picked, who better then a thief? Thieves are key to any dungeon adventuring. While any member can try and pick a lock, because of their high initial dexterity score, Thieves are much more likely to pick a lock or disarm a trap. Thieves are not overly good when it comes to combat, so they usually stay in the background and use their crossbows to attack. Thieves also tend to be well versed in the ways of sex, giving them a high initial Sex score. Thieves also get a +2 bonus when talking with NPC’s, do to their quick tongues.<br/><br/>Strength: 3<br/>Endurance: 3<br/>Dexterity: 6<br/>Magic: 0<br/>Willpower: 3<br/>Charisma: 4<br/>Tickling: 2<br/>Sex: 6<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit Points: 20<br/>Stamina Points: 20<br/>Magic Points: 0<br/>Movement: 5<br/><br/>Starting Tech: Backstab: This technique allows for a thief to do extra damage based on a multiplier to an enemy in melee combat. The thief must be adjacent to their target. Cost: 3 stamina points<br/><br/>(Note: +2 to Charisma roll when speaking to NPCs. All other classes receive a –2 penalty if they try anything like disarming traps, or picking locks.)<br/><br/><br/>Assassin:  A thief trained in the arts of killing.  These figures have abandoned the typical arts of a thief and taken up the way of the blade.  Not as skilled as a fighter, they are still an impressive fighter and capable of handling themselves in a melee combat.  Assasins, while still have the basic abilities of thieves, are not as skilled when it comes to picking locks, smooth talking, or sexual pleasuring.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Strength: 4<br/>Endurance: 4<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Magic: 0<br/>Willpower: 3<br/>Charisma: 2<br/>Tickling: 2<br/>Sex: 2<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit Points: 22<br/>Stamina Points: 22<br/>Magic Points: 0<br/>Movement: 5<br/><br/>Starting Tech:  Knife throwing.  Assassin’s are particularly skilled in the way of throwing knives, and are able to throw three knives without any penalties.<br/><br/><br/>Battle Mage: Battle Mages are the offensive magic casters in the group. While not very physically intimidating, Mages can usually cast spells, which can do a great deal of damage to their enemies. Not being very fast, mages tend to stay in the background, showering their enemies with fireballs, while fighters protect them. Sometimes magic is the only way to kill enemies, so don’t knock the mages.<br/><br/>Strength: 0<br/>Endurance: 0<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Magic: 6<br/>Willpower: 6<br/>Charisma: 2<br/>Tickling: 2<br/>Sex: 2<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit points: 20<br/>Stamina points: 20<br/>Magic points: 28<br/>Movement: 3<br/><br/>Starting tech: Focus: This technique allows the battle mage to charge their magic, so that their next spell will do double the damage. This is only effective with attack magic, and not sexual or tickling spells. Cost: 2 stamina points<br/><br/><br/>Ecstasy Mage: Ecstasy Mages are a specialized form of magic casters. They possess no offensive magic, but instead rely on powerful spells of lust, restraint, and tickling. They also tend to stay in the background, relying on fighters to give them cover while they cast magical bondage, orgasm and other fun goodies. Sometimes it is better to neutralize an enemy than to kill them outright. They also have strong sex skills, having studied in the erotic arts.<br/><br/>Strength: 0<br/>Endurance: 0<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Magic: 6<br/>Willpower: 2<br/>Charisma: 5<br/>Tickling: 2<br/>Sex: 6<br/>Luck: 0<br/>Hit points: 18<br/>Stamina points: 18<br/>Magic points: 24<br/>Movement: 3<br/><br/>Starting Tech: Adrenaline: This technique will allow the Ecstasy Mage to cut down on his spell preparation, making him a force to be reckoned with. The next spell cast will be finished in the same round. Cost: 4 stamina points<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>RACES<br/><br/>In this game there are a variety of races that you can choose from. There are Barbarians, Amazons, Half-elves, Elves, Humans,. Each class has their own advantages and disadvantages. Unless specifically stated, these bonuses DO NOT affect your base score. They are added automatically at the start of every roll, but do not change the base score. However, they do affect the feats a character may perform.<br/><br/>Feats you say? What in the world are feats? They will be covered in another section. For now, keep this in mind.<br/><br/>Example: Mileena, the Amazon fighter, has a strength score of 10 having the class score of 4 added onto her roll of 6. She has also the Physical Gift: Muscular, giving her a +1 bonus to her strength score. This gives her a final score of 11. When rolling for a feat, Mileena add’s 11 to her roll for her feat check.<br/><br/>Barbarians: Barbarians are large, muscular men who tend to live in small villages or as traveling nomads. They tend to be fairly simplistic in life, preferring to live outdoors than in the large cities. They spend a good deal of there time training themselves in the way of combat and increasing their own physical superiority. Barbarians are actually the male counterparts to Amazons, though they’d never admit it. Magic is something they distrust and fear. Usually Barbarians don’t leave their home on the plains. However, they have been known to become adventures, but it is not money or fame they seek, only a chance to test their abilities and become stronger through fighting.<br/><br/>Barbarians tend to stand between 6’4 and 7’0 tall, and have broad, muscular frames. Barbarian’s weapon of choice is a two-handed Battle Axe, which allows them to add their considerable weight to the axe's strike. They also favor Claymores as swords for the same reason.<br/><br/>Attack Roll: +2<br/>Defense Roll: –2<br/>Magic Roll: –2<br/>Thieving skills: –4<br/>Willpower Roll: +2<br/><br/>Axe/Claymore: +1 (Damage)<br/>HP/SP: +1/+1<br/>Racial Weapons: Two-Handed Battle Axe, Claymore, Throwing Axes<br/><br/>Penis Size Bonus: Roll 1d6+1 instead of 1d6 when determining size.<br/><br/><br/>Amazons: Amazons are the female counterparts to Barbarians. In their Matriarchal society, they spend much of their time training themselves. Amazons are known for their fierce combat skills, particularly their excellence in archery. They also spend a great deal of their time learning about nature. Like Barbarians they are a proud race, even prouder then barbarians. Amazons are fiercely independent, and dislike having to rely on others, particularly men, who they tend to feel are inferior. Only Barbarians are viewed with any real respect, do to their fierce fighting skills. However, if an ordinary man, be they elf, half-elf, or human earns an Amazon's respect, they should consider themselves as lucky as that respect is a hard won commodity. Amazons dislike magic, preferring to trust in herbs and other natural medicines.<br/><br/>Amazons tend to stand anywhere from 6’0 to 6’6, and have well-developed and toned bodies. While they are not as strong as Barbarians, they make up for their shortcomings in melee fighting with there impressive archery skills. Amazons usually carry a longbow with them and carry longswords for their melee weapons.<br/><br/>Attack Roll: +1<br/>Defense Roll: –1<br/>Magic Roll: –2<br/>Thieving skills: –4<br/>Willpower Roll: +2<br/><br/>Shortbow/Longbow: +2/+1 (+2 to attack roll, +1 to damage)<br/>HP/SP: +2/+2<br/>Racial Weapons: Longsword, Longbow, Shortbow<br/><br/>Breast Size Bonus: Roll 1d6+1 instead of 1d6 when determining breast size;<br/><br/>Note: While each may feel that their own race is superior, both have accepted the fact that the opposite race is the most suitable mates for offspring. Once every five years, the strongest Barbarians and Amazons gather to mate. This mating ritual usually lasts for several days (both Amazons and Barbarians claim that it iss simply to make sure that the females are impregnated, but I think we all know better ;) ) Then, both parties go back to their respective homelands afterwards. The Amazons then give birth, and any male children they have are turned over to the Barbarians a year later, while the Amazons keep the females.<br/><br/><br/>Elves: Elves live in a highly aristocratic society, where the standard of living would be considered to be above average compared to the regular human. Elves tend to stay in their own country, not caring much about the outside world, feeling safe living in their great trees. Elves tend to view the other races of the world as somewhat uncivilized, and indeed, compared to the elven country, they are. However, they do acknowledge that they are necessary for things like trade. Elves are taught in the ways of magic from an early age, and excel in it. If they decide to become magic users, it is not an usual thing. Elves tend to know a great deal about the more sophisticated things, such as artwork, fine spirits, and the like. They also know about nature, even though they don’t live as closely with it as the used too.<br/><br/>Elves are slim and somewhat more fragile then humans due to their bone structure. Because of that fact, they tend to prefer to fight with magic and avoid melee fighting, which they view as barbaric. Elves stand between 5’6 and 6’ tall on average, and posses slim, builds. Their weapons of choice are longbows, and longswords for melee fighting, though as a rule, most elves prefer to simply use magic.<br/><br/>Attack Roll: –2<br/>Defense Roll: –2<br/>Magic: +2<br/>HP/SP: –2/-2<br/>MP: +2 (Only applies to magic users)<br/>Range: +2 (Add an additional +2 to range of spells)<br/><br/>Racial Weapons: Longsword and Longbow<br/><br/>Half-Elves: Half-elves are the offspring of both a human and elf parent. Because of this, they generally take on some of the elven features, namely their pointy ears. However, their body frames tend to be less slim. Because of this, they are usually outsiders, neither welcome in Elven or human society.<br/><br/>Half-elves are somewhere in between humans and elves, not as naturally strong as their human side, but not as graceful as their elven side either. Half-elves tend to stand between 5’4 and 6’0 tall on average. Because of their slim hands, half-elves make for good thieves, and still have some natural skill with magic from their elven side.<br/><br/>Attack Roll: –1<br/>Defense Roll: –1<br/>Charisma Roll: +2<br/>Magic Roll: +1<br/>HP/SP: –1/-1<br/>MP: +1 (Only applies to magic users)<br/>Range: +1 (Add an additional +1 to range of spells)<br/><br/><br/>Humans: Humans are the dominant species in the world, being able to breed like rabbits and out compete all the other races. I don’t think I need to explain much about humans, as I’m sure the readers know about the human race (if you don’t, you need to get off the computer and go out more ;) ) Humans can be all shapes and sizes, though humans who stand below 5’0 or over 6’2 are a rarity. Because of there unique ability of adaptation, a human has no racial penalties, but they also receive no bonuses, making them good for any class.<br/><br/>No Bonuses or Penalties<br/>"
394,[Labrynth] Rules and Characters,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=1859.0,"21-09-2005, 22:35:46",Cosmo_ac,"FEATS<br/><br/>So how do feats work?  (Told ya I'd be explaining this.)<br/><br/>Now, some people might be wondering what a “feat” is.  A feat is generally when a person rolls to see if their character can achieve something, usually that doesn’t involve other people.  Basically, a feat is when a character rolls against their initial base score.  Race bonuses generally do apply unless stated otherwise.<br/><br/>Feats note<br/><br/>Well, this is the very rough idea to the 'new and improved' feats section.  Basically, it will take care of several problems all at once.  So I'll just throw out the rough idea and people can say that they hate it or like it depending on their point of view.<br/><br/>1) Character scores are no longer capped at 10.  Also, performing a feat will no longer automatically drop the person's score.  The score dropping is at the DM discretion now if they feel it is appropriate.<br/><br/>2) Whenever rolling for a 'feat' (i.e. a non-combative action), the players will use 2d6 + their appropriate class score.<br/><br/>3) There is now a target number (TN) which the player must hit with their roll in order for a success.  The DM will assign a value based on what they feel the task is.  An average TN is 11, which is calculated taking the average person's score (5), and the average roll of 2d6 (6).  Here is a breakdown of TNs.<br/><br/>09  - easy<br/>11  - average<br/>13  - tricky<br/>15  - difficult<br/>17  - hard<br/>19  - impossible<br/>20+ - godlike<br/><br/>4) There is now a required number of successes so that the PC can succeed.  If a PC gets 1 success but fails the other one, the effects can vary.  However, normally it results in a 'failure'.  When a PC fails completely and get no successes, it is considered a 'botch' and is a critical failure.  The normal requirement is 2 successes.  Here is a further breakdown of successes.<br/><br/>1  - easy<br/>2  - average<br/>3  - tricky<br/>4  - difficult<br/>5  - hard<br/>6+ - impossible<br/><br/>Let us use Melaine here for an example to let everyone get a general idea.  So our little thief, Mel, wants to pick open a chest.  The evil DM states that the chest has a TN of 13 and requires three successes to open.  So our little thief, Mel, with a Dex score of 9 goes to work on the chest.  She rolls 2d6+9 for her first roll and gets a 16.  This number is higher than 13 so she now has one success.<br/><br/>She rolls 2d6+9 two more times, getting a 17 and 13 respectively.  In the case of a tie, the PC wins the roll.  Since she now has the three required successes, she will open the chest. (YAY!)<br/><br/>If she had failed one of her rolls by getting under 13, she would have failed in opening the lock but nothing bad would have happened.  If she had failed and gotten NO successes, it is a 'botch'.  Either she would have jammed the lock (raising the TN) or set off a trap hidden there (requiring a Dex check to dodge, using 2d6+9 once again).<br/><br/>There is also this variant which I am considering adding into the game.  Normally, a character rolls 2d6 while under pressure (i.e. picking open a door while the guards are coming).  If there were no guards coming, then she could roll 3d6 instead.  However, opening the lock would take TWICE as long representing her carefulness.<br/><br/>Lastly, if she was by an abandoned area where NO one would be coming Melaine could get an automatic success.  The only constraint would be a matter of time.  Generally, an auto-succes takes TEN times as long as it would be to simply roll 2d6.  The DM will assign a time to each task as they feel is appropriate to the matter.<br/><br/>In the lock-pick case mentioned, the times are:<br/><br/>Roll 2d6 - 5 minutes<br/>Roll 3d6 - 10 minutes<br/>Auto suc - 50 minutes<br/><br/><br/><br/>COMBAT SYSTEM<br/><br/>Combat in this game won’t be overly complex, but it will take a bit of time to get used to.  The main learning of combat will take place as we play once characters have joined.  However, in the meantime I will give you a basic idea of what it will be like.<br/><br/><br/>Combat Board<br/><br/>A combat board will open up whenever combat takes place.<br/><br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/><br/>This is a combat board.  On this board, your characters will be positioned, same as your enemies.<br/><br/><br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>***********B*********1***********<br/>*********T***********2***********<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/><br/>Now, the B here is Bobo.  The T is Tasha.  1 and 2 are bandits.  There will always be a legend below the board to show who is what.<br/><br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>***********B*********1***********<br/>*********T***********2***********<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/><br/>1=Bandit<br/>2=Bandit<br/><br/>B=Bobo<br/>T=Tasha<br/><br/>Now, we have a board and a legend, telling us who is who.  Now, all characters will already know their own base scores, and have them listed on their posts, with their most current scores.  In the character's sheet, they will have their base scores listed.  As the DM, I will post the stats of the bandits.<br/><br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>***********B*********1***********<br/>*********T***********2***********<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/><br/>1=Bandit                        Bandit 1&2<br/>2=Bandit<br/>S:7<br/>B=Bobo                          E:5<br/>T=Tasha                         M:4<br/>W:6<br/>HP:16<br/>SP:16<br/>MO:5<br/><br/>If the type of enemy is the same, then the base score might be the same, or they might be somewhat different.  This will be left up to the DM.<br/><br/><br/>Starting Formation<br/><br/>When in the group, characters will be asked how they want their formation to begin whenever they enter a battle mode.  Characters might want the fighters in the front, while the mage, thief, and cleric are in the back.  The character in the back will always be against the board, towards the left.  The other characters will be positioned in respect to this character, possibly being in a formation like this<br/><br/>T F<br/>M F<br/>C F<br/><br/>Or, something like this.<br/><br/>F<br/>C M T F<br/>F<br/><br/>The set up is only limited by the space you have on the map.<br/><br/>Who Goes First?<br/><br/>Now, we come to the initiative rolls.  First the players, then the DM, all make one roll with a 20 sided dice.  The order goes in the highest to the lowest.  This means that if Bobo rolled an 6 and Tasha rolled a 18, then Bandit 1 rolled a 14 and Bandit 2 rolled a 7, the order would be Tasha, Bandit 1, Bandit 2, and then Bobo.  This would be the order in which turns are carried out during this battle, unless a spell is used.<br/><br/>Also, if the group is attacked by surprise, or the group attacks their enemies by surprise, the surprising party will automatically get to go first, before the surprised target can.  If Bobo and Tasha had surprised the bandits, they would get an initial attack (still rolling to see who goes first by the highest rolls), before the bandits could do anything.  Once Bobo and Tasha got their free attack, the bandits would make their own rolls, and it would all go back to normal, with the people who have the highest roll moving first.<br/><br/>Movement<br/><br/>Now that we know who is going first, we can move the characters.  Each character has a set movement rate.  This rate can be altered in the game through magic and magic items, but for now we’ll just use the starting movement rate for these characters.  Bobo, being a fighter, has a movement rate of 4.  Tasha, being a thief, has a movement rate of 5.  The Bandits also have a movement rate of 5.<br/><br/>Now, we will move some of the characters.  An X will be used to show where the character was.  In this case B for Bobo, to show where the character is now.  Before attempting to move the character though, you must first write down where the character is moving from, and to where.  You do this by reposting the legend and map afterwards with their new position.<br/><br/>Note: Characters do not move all at once.  Each character would make their move, and then either attack or end their turn, where the next person would then have their turn.  I just moved everybody at once to speed things along.  Also, bandit 1 could have attacked Bobo in the same turn that he moved, but for the time being he didn’t.<br/><br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>***********X***B1****X***********<br/>*********X****T*2****X***********<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/>*********************************<br/><br/>B1=Bandit                        Bandit 1&2<br/>B2=Bandit                        S:7<br/>B=Bobo                           E:5<br/>T=Tasha                          M:4<br/>W:6<br/>HP:16<br/>SP:16<br/>MO:5<br/><br/><br/>Attacking<br/><br/>Now we move into combat.  Each character has moved, and it is now Bobo’s turn.  Since Bobo is beside the bandit he may attack.  Bobo has a strength score of 10, so he will now roll 2d6 dice, and add that to his strength score.  Bobo rolls his two dice and gets a 7.  Bobo will now add the 7 to his score of 10 and get 17.  However, because Bobo is a Barbarian, he will gain another +2 to his attack roll, giving him a total of 19.<br/><br/>Now, the bandit must make a save roll.  The Bandit has a strength score of 7.  If the bandit rolls a 12 he will be able to tie Bobo and make a save, the bandit gets to roll.  If the bandit could not possibly match Bobo, then it would be considered an automatic hit.  The bandit takes two 6 sided dice and rolls them.  The bandit rolls a 4, and adds that to his strength score of 7, giving him a score of 11.  This roll is under Bobo’s attack roll, so the Bandit suffers 4 points of damage due to the two-handed great axe Bobo is using.  There will be another section on available weapons in the world.<br/><br/>While Bobo can move if he chooses to, since he hasn’t moved yet, he decides to stay put.  Now, it is Bandit 1’s turn, and so on and so forth.  This is how combat works.<br/><br/><br/>Combat with Magic or Ranged Attacks<br/><br/>Ranged attacks are fairly simple.  During a character’s turn, they state they are making an attack with their ranged weapon: crossbow, longbow, etc.  Then, so long as the target is within range of their weapon, they roll their attack roll, much like how Bobo above rolled his attack roll, with the target of that attack rolling their defense in the same way.<br/><br/>Magic is a little trickier as magic spells can vary in effect and range.  Generally though, a mage or cleric will choose the target of their spell.  The spell list will state how long it takes the mage to cast that spell, usually a round or two.  The mage need not announce who they are casting the spell on, only what spell they are attempting to cast.  After the required amount of turns has passed, and the target of the spell is still within the range of the spell, the mage will release their spell.  The target of the spell must then try and make a magic defense roll using their magic score.<br/><br/>In this case we’ll use Melinda.  Melinda has a magic score of 10.  She wants to cast a magical attack on a bandit, so she announces that she is casting a fireball spell.  She can move before she decides to cast the spell, but not after.  This turn is used to cast the spell.  Now, Melinda must wait till her next turn to release the spell at her target.  Melinda can be attacked while she’s preparing the spell.<br/><br/>During this time, she may defend herself per usual, like being attacked any other time.  However, if she is hit, Melinda loses the spell she was casting.  Assuming Melinda is not attacked, or she is attacked but not hit, on her next turn, Melinda will be able to release the spell at her intended target.  This works just like regular combat, except the magic score is used instead of the strength score.<br/>"

396,[Labrynth] Rules and Characters,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=1859.0,"21-09-2005, 22:39:29",Cosmo_ac,"FORCED PLEASURE<br/><br/>Now, this is a particularly sticky (pun intended) part of the game.  In this game, there is something I call “forced pleasure”.  Now, what is ‘forced pleasure’ you might ask?  Well, forced pleasure is when a person has pleasurable feelings forced upon them, usually at inopportune times, against their will.  I shall show examples below of how it works.  ‘Forced pleasure’ is divided into several categories.<br/><br/>When a character is brought to orgasm, they must make a roll to determine how intense the orgasm is.  The roll is done with a 12 sided dice, and the higher the roll the more intense.  The player who has an orgasm induced loses their turn, should it take place during combat or something similar.<br/><br/>1-2 = A weak orgasm, hardly even worth mentioning.  There is no stamina loss involved, but the turn is still lost.<br/><br/>3-4= A mediocre orgasm.  You had better, but you've had worse.  Lose 2 stamina points<br/><br/>5-6= A fairly good orgasm. You definitely enjoyed yourself.  Lose 3 stamina points.<br/><br/>7-8= An above average orgasm that will have you gasping and feeling weak in the knees.  Lose 4 stamina points.<br/><br/>9-10= A great orgasm.  It leaves your head swimming as you have trouble standing.  Lose 5 stamina points.  Any Willpower save roll to avoid confessing is at a -1 penalty.<br/><br/>11-12= A fall-down-to-your-knees, howling-to-high-heaven, lucky-if-you-don’t-pass-out orgasm that lasts a full minute at its peak.  Lose 6 points of stamina loss, and the loss of an additional turn for recovery.  Any Willpower save roll to avoid confessing is at a -2 penalty.<br/><br/>Forced Pleasure Through Spells<br/><br/>In this game, pleasure can be forced upon a person by means of magical spells.  An example of such spell is the spell “Forced Orgasm”.  This spell, should the target fail to save against it, would suffer and immediate orgasm.<br/><br/>Bobo the Barbarian marched across the field, overlooking the fallen enemies his mighty blade had slain.  However, as he looked over to his right, he noticed a single female mage, barely larger then five feet tall standing a good twenty feet away.  She was looking at him, a slight smirk on her full lips, as if she didn’t have a care in the world that a seven foot barbarian brandishing a sword almost as big as he was standing before her.  With a cocky gesture that infuriated Bobo, she lifted her delicate hand and gestured for him to come after her.  Rising his sword, Bobo charged the female mage.  The mage just laughed, bringing her hands together and quickly chanting a spell.  By the time Bobo had crossed half the distance to her, she released her spell on him<br/><br/>Now, Bobo has a magic score of 6, while the mage has a 10 in magic score. The mage rolls two 6 sided dice, and gets a 5, then adds her own magic score which is 10 to it, giving her a 15 total.  Bobo rolls two 6 sided dice and gets a 7, then adds his magic score, 6, and subtracts -2 because of his Barbarian class feature.  He ends up with a final score of 9.  Because the mage has a higher total, her spell has worked.  Once it has been established that Bobo has been struck by the spell, he must roll one 12 sided dice to determine how powerful his orgasm is.  Bobo rolls the dice, and gets a 11.  Because of the power of this orgasm, Bobo loses 6 stamina points and an additional action round that is needed to recover.<br/><br/>The full brunt of the spell catches Bobo directly.  The barbarian stumbles as the waves of pleasure begin to hit him.  As this new feeling overpowers him, Bobo drops to his knees, gasping.  He can feel his pants stretching as his manhood swells to its full size, coming out like a tent.  Gritting his teeth as he tries to fight back the waves of pleasure, Bobo finds he cannot hold it back anymore.   The strong barbarian cries out as he experiences a mind-rending orgasm, leaving a considerably large stain in the front of his pants and is momentarily lost in a sea of pleasure.<br/><br/>“Tell me,” the mage says, smirking as she brings her hands up to begin casting another spell on the helpless barbarian.  “Was it good for you?”<br/><br/><br/>Forced Pleasure Through Items<br/><br/>The next way to cause forced pleasure is through the Use of items.  In this game there will be various magical objects that have spells or pleasurable effects on the people who use them.  Most will be similar to the spells that already exist, however some will be unique.  Cursed items can be particularly fun, or bothersome, as this example illustrates.<br/><br/>Melinda the Mage slowly ran the tip of her finger around and around the edge of the ring she wore on her left middle finger.  It was a simple ring, a gold band.  Nothing special about it.  Certainly it hadn’t seemed special when she had placed it on her finger.  However, she knew differently now…<br/><br/>Currently she was waiting at a crowded bar for her friend Alex, a cleric, to enter so he could cast a spell and dispel the curse so she could finally be rid of the damn thing.  Hearing the door to the bar open, Melinda quickly looked up.  However, instead of seeing Alex, Melinda sees her rather buxom thief companion, Tasha.  Tasha also sees Melinda.   “Hello Melinda.”  Tasha says, waving to her friend.<br/><br/>Melinda’s eyes widen as she hears her name.  One of her hands instinctively travels to her crotch, cupping it through her robe as she begins to feel a familiar feeling of pleasure building up inside her.  “Oh no…not here…”  Melinda whispers through clenched teeth as she fights the desired urge to cry out in pleasure.<br/><br/>“What’s wrong, Melinda?”  Tasha says as she approaches her friend, seeing the obviously pained look on Melinda’s face.<br/><br/>“Goddess….no…please…”  Melinda gasps as the sound of her friend saying her name again triggers another orgasm in her body.  Melinda stiffens as she tries to ride this orgasm out as well as the other, though she knows it’s a losing battle.<br/><br/>“Melinda, talk to me.”  Tasha says, putting her hand over her friends tightly balled fist, obviously concerned about her well being.<br/><br/>Unable to hold it back anymore as her friend triggers a third orgasm, Melinda falls backwards in her chair, screaming with orgasmic delight.  “OH GODDESS YES!”<br/><br/>Quickly darting to her friend’s side, Tasha tries to hold her still.  “Melinda!  Melinda!  What’s wrong?”  Tasha tries to keep her friends flopping about on the floor to a minimum as she experiences one of the strangest seizures Tasha has ever seen.  “Melinda, answer me!”  Tasha cries desperately, ready to go running for a doctor.<br/><br/>Covered with sweat, and exhausted from her sixth orgasm in almost half as many minutes, Melinda looks up at her friend with glazed over eyes, trying to find her voice as her lips move.<br/><br/>“Mel-mph!”  Tasha’s mouth is quickly covered by Melinda as she somehow finds the strength.<br/><br/>“Don’t…say…my….name…”  Melinda says in a weakened voice, barely above a whisper.  After a few seconds, Tasha nods her head in understanding.  As Melinda slowly looks around, she realizes that everybody is looking at her.<br/><br/>“You look like you could use a drink hun,” says the bartender looking her way.  “I’d offer you a ‘Screaming Orgasm’, but I think you’ve already had one too many of those.”  That said, the bar erupts into laughter, and a very red-faced Melinda quickly exits the bar with whatever dignity she can still muster.<br/><br/>Now, in a case like this, unless asked, there is no real need to roll the dice to see how strong Melinda’s orgasm is, or how many stamina points she loses.  Because there is no threat at this point, there is no need to roll the dice, as a case like this is more for fun then for anything else.  However, it will be left up to the DM’s discretion as to whether any dice are rolled or not.<br/><br/><br/>Forced Pleasure Through Sex<br/><br/>Now, this will be the most controversial subject as many, or perhaps all players will find this concept not of their liking.  First, I will say that I will never force anything on any player.  When you sign up, you will give me a list of things that you find acceptable and unacceptable.  Second, if you ever feel that I am taking your character in a direction you don’t like, feel free to send me a private PM, and we can decide where to go from there.<br/><br/>This being said let me explain my concept of forced pleasure through sex.  First off, no sex will ever be painful.  The only thing unbearable about this will be the unusually large number of orgasms the victim will receive.  The victim shall never be hurt, only bound or held down as needed.  While the attention directed on the victim will be unwanted, it will still be very pleasurable.  Also, it should be pointed out that this will be a rarity, usually only possible of happening when a character is captured, though if it is requested by a player it can certainly happen more often.  I will point out as well that men are as equally likely to have sex forced upon them as woman, as men and woman in this world have equal standings in all manner of things.<br/><br/><br/>Forced Pleasure as Means of Torture/Interrogation<br/><br/>It is just like tickling. In this game, forced pleasure can be used as a way to make somebody talk.  While spells like Orgasm can be used to speed things up, most people tend to pick slower means, to make there victims suffer more, and for their own enjoyment.  Usually they might have a particular spell, or item to use.  On occasion, they will simply use their own bodies to torment the victim.<br/><br/>Things are broken up into sections.  First, there is what is called a ‘Foreplay’ and ‘Orgasm’ attack.  A successful Foreplay attack must be performed before the interrogator can make the victim Orgasm.  A successful Foreplay attack will add an additional +1 bonus to the sexual attack roll, making it harder to resist subsequent Foreplay or Orgasm attacks.  An interrogator can choose to link multiple Foreplay attacks together to make it harder or even impossible for a character to resist.  Luckily, the bonus from the Foreplay attacks leave once a victim has Orgasmed.<br/><br/>An interrogator may only make as many attacks as his or her Sex score divided by 2.  This gives a maximum of a total of 5 attacks for any character.<br/><br/>But wait, isn’t that a bit unfair?<br/><br/>Well, the victim has a chance to resist being aroused by the Foreplay attack.  He or she uses her willpower score and makes a save versus sexual attacks.  If he or she has a higher score than they have resisted from becoming aroused and cannot be made to Orgasm.<br/><br/>The same willpower save can be applied by the victim when the interrogator is attempting an Orgasm attack to prevent yourself from giving into the pleasure.  You remain aroused but you manage to stave off the attack and the next sexual attack roll will be made at a -1 penalty from the interrogator.<br/><br/>However, each time the victim fails against an Orgasm attack your character must make a willpower feat save or tell the information that the interrogator wants to know.  Performing this feat lowers your willpower by -1 whether or not it was successful.  This makes for a slippery slope (pun intended) for the victim against sexual talented interrogators.<br/><br/>The moral of the story to all of this is, DON’T GET CAPTURED. ;)<br/><br/>One-on-One Interrogation<br/><br/>Alex groaned as he slowly came to.  The last thing he remembered was getting hit on the head on his way back to his inn room.  Looking about, all Alex could see was an empty room with a door.  He was currently tied to a chair.  He had his hands bound behind his back and his ankles had been tied to the chair legs, forcing his legs apart.  Also, several more lengths of rope had been wrapped around his midsection, binding him effectively to the chair.  As Alex pondered his situation, the door opened, and two young women walked in.  From the look of them Alex could tell they were common thieves.<br/><br/>“Well, it seems our little cleric has woken up Alisa,” said the bandit with short brown hair.  The other one, Alisa, nodded her head in response.<br/><br/>“Good Jo, because we have a lot to ask him.”  Alisa replied, turning her attention to Alex.  “Tell me, cleric, where are your friends?  We’ve been paid to find out where they are, and we intend to find out.”  Alisa flashed Alex a wicked smile.  “One way or the other.”<br/><br/>Alex gritted his teeth tightly, a look of contempt on his face.  He would never betray his friends.<br/><br/>“Oh?  Don’t want to talk?”  Jo says with a smile.  “Ok, I have no trouble convincing you to talk.”  Without another word, Jo kneels down in front of Alex, and pushing aside his robes she unzipped his pants.  “Let’s just see what I can find in here, shall we?”  Jo says, giving Alex a naughty smile as her hand slides into the new entrance into Alex’s pants.  It only takes a moment before Jo pulls out a rather large, but flaccid penis.  “Oh my, what a big boy you are!”  Jo says, her conversation directed at the member in her hand as opposed to Alex.  Alison just snickers.  “Let’s see if I can make you salute like a good soldier though.”<br/><br/>Alex gives an audible gasp at the first touch of Jo’s skilled tongue along the tip of his penis.  The cleric tries to fight the sensations, but as Jo artfully flicks her tongue around the defenseless helmet, and he finds his penis swelling to its full 9 inches. “Now, that’s what I like to see.”  Jo says with a grin of admiration before the phallus quickly disappears into her mouth as she shows off her deep throat skills.<br/><br/>This is a Foreplay attack.  Now, Alex has originally a total base score of 8 for his Willpower, but due to the large size of his penis, Alex also suffers another –1 penalty, and leaving him with a score of 7.  Jo, as a thief has a 10 for sex score.  Jo rolls 2d6 die and rolls an 8, adding her sex score to it for a total of 18.  Alex rolls 2d6 die in defense, rolls a 7 and adds his willpower score for a total of 14.  Alex has gotten the lower roll and is now considered Aroused.  Jo will have an additional +1 bonus to her sexual attack rolls against Alex now.  Jo now has 4 attacks left.<br/><br/>The thief smiles around the mouthful that she has as her hand begins to massage Alex’s balls.  The shuddering gasps from her victim let her know that he is close to the edge.  Slowly, she begins to increase her pace as she tries to force an orgasm from him.<br/><br/>This is now an Orgasm attack.  Alex still has his modified Willpower of 7 and Jo now has a sex score of 10 and the additional +1 because of the successful Foreplay.  They both roll 2d6 and get the final score of 12 (Alex) and 18 (Jo).  Because of that, Alex has been unable to control himself and Jo has successfully brought Alex to orgasm.  Alex now must roll a 1d12 to determine the severity of his orgasm. Alex rolls a 9, bringing him just barely into the incredible orgasm zone.  Alex then loses 6 stamina points and Jo’s sex score resets back to the default, 10.  Jo now has three attacks left.<br/><br/>Alex, having been brought to orgasm, must now make a willpower feat save.  His current willpower is 7 but he takes a -2 penalty to it because of the intense orgasm, leaving him with a 5.  Once again he rolls 2d6 and gets a 4 this time (lucky man!).  He manages not to confess to Jo everything he knows and his willpower score drops to 4.  Fortunately, the orgasm penalty leaves him after this round so his willpower score will be back to 6.<br/><br/>“Oh God!”  Alex cries out loud, his body stiffening as he orgasms hard.  Jo wraps her lips around the bulbous head, flicking her tongue back and forth over the slit as Alex empties his load into her eager mouth.  Her hands pump up and down the shaft, making sure to milk every last drop out.  When Jo is satisfied that she has gotten as much as she is going to in this load, she proceeds to grip Alex’s penis by the base and begin running her tongue all over it.<br/><br/>“Mmm...That was great.”  Jo says in a teasing voice before she slides his whole shaft down her throat, taking him all the way into her mouth till her lips rest on the base of his cock, then slowly slides it back out. “But I’m not done with you by a long shot.”  She gives the helmet a little kiss as her hands begin slowly moving up and down the large member.  “Got anything you want to tell me?”  Jo asks.  Alex simply ignores her.  “Heh fine, be that way.  It is time for round two.”<br/><br/>Once again, Jo is going to attempt to force Alex to become Aroused.  However, things are slightly different now.  This rule does not affect female NPCs or PCs, so if your character is female, please ignore it.  After a male is brought to orgasm by physical means, i.e. sex, masturbation, oral, etc, they will receive a bonus/penalty (depending on the circumstances) to their Willpower rolls.  In this case, Alex has already climaxed once.  Because of that, it will be harder for him to be brought to orgasm again by such means.  So, instead of suffering his –1 penalty, Alex now has no penalty, because he gains a +1 bonus to his willpower.  Jo still has 10 for her sex skills, so she rolls 2d6 die and gets 15.  Alex, now with 7 because of his willpower bonus, rolls 2d6 die for defense and rolls a total of 15.  In the case of a tie, the person defending always wins (unless stated otherwise).  So, Alex has effectively managed to control himself and not become aroused for Jo.  Jo has two attacks left.<br/><br/>Breathing deeply and slowly, somehow Alex manages to keep himself from becoming aroused at his tormentor’s skilled hands and lips.  Closing his eyes tightly, he mentally fights back the pleasurable sensations that are assaulting his body.<br/><br/>Jo’s lips make the sound of a cork popping as she slides them off the tip of Alex’s penis.  “So, you’re going to be stubborn, eh?”  Jo turns to her friend Alisa.  “Hey, Alisa, give me a hand with this.”  She then winks.  ""Or better yet, a tongue.”<br/><br/>Double-Teaming a Victim<br/><br/>With a slight giggle, Alisa kneels down beside her friend and both woman begin running there tongues all along Alex’s throbbing member, taking turns to suck on the first few inches while the other runs her lips and tongue along the rest.  Alex can’t help but groan at these new sensations.<br/><br/>This is a double-team attack.  A double-team attack is incredibly effective when used to arouse a victim.  Each interrogator will gain an additional +2 bonus to sexual roll to make the victim become Aroused.   Jo has a sex score of 10 while Alisa has a sex score of 9.  They both will roll their 2d6 and add their sex scores plus the bonus they gain.  Jo rolls the number 4 and adds her sex score plus bonus to get a 16.  Alisa rolls the number 6 and adds her sex score plus bonus to get a 17.  Alex will then need to make two separate willpower save rolls.  He takes his willpower score of 7 and rolls 2d6, obtaining a total of 12.  Since he failed against Jo’s roll, Alisa’s roll is irrelevant so she keeps her attack.  Alex is now Aroused with Jo having one attack left and Alisa having four attacks.  There is an additional +1 bonus to both their sexual rolls because of the Foreplay mechanism.<br/><br/>“Now, you’re going to give my friend a good mouthful like a good boy, aren’t you?”  Jo taunts as Alisa takes over the job of polishing Alex’s knob with her tongue for the moment.  Alex just moans in response.  With a giggle, Jo goes back to helping her friend with that task at hand.  They both mercilessly work over his manhood without pause.<br/><br/>Now, Alex is still being double-teamed in this Orgasm attack.  Anybody can be double teamed in this game, though not in the same way Alex is.  Alex still retains his bonus from before, keeping his willpower at 5.  However, now that there are two girls pleasuring him, the sexual rolls are slightly different.  Jo still has her Sex skill level of 10, and now is joined by Alisa, also a thief and entitled to her sex score of 9 and total of 4 attacks left to make.  It looks like Alex might be in trouble…<br/><br/>First Jo will roll 2d6 die and add her sex score, getting a total of 15.  Then Alisa will roll 2d6 dice and add her sex score, giving her a total of 16.  Now, because of the double team bonus, Jo and Alisa both get a +1 to their sexual attack rolls, giving Jo a 16 and Alisa a 17.  They also get their +1 bonus from the Foreplay roll, which makes their scores 17 and 18 respectively.  Alex now must roll his defense.  Alex rolls 2d6 dice and adds his willpower score, getting a total of a 17.  Alex has managed to save again Jo’s attack and now needs to roll again for Alisa.  He rolls 2d6 plus his willpower score and gets a 10.  Having failed to get a successful save roll, and is brought to orgasm by Alisa.  Because of an additional character in the Orgasm attack, Alex will suffer a +1 intensity bonus.  So, when Alex rolls his 1d12 to determine the severity of his orgasm, and rolls a 8, the +1 penalty is added, bringing the result up to 9, and causing Alex to suffer another extreme orgasm, as he loses another 6 stamina points.   Jo has 1 attacks and Alisa has 3 attacks because both were needed.<br/><br/>Alex hollers to high heaven as Alisa eagerly swallows his seed, her head bobbing up and down with enthusiasm.  When she has finally swallowed as much as is coming out, she takes a moment to swirl her tongue around the head of Alex’s penis several times, before licking her lips and savoring the taste.  Then, she quickly goes back to sucking his cock.<br/><br/>“Well, that was a pretty good one, wasn’t it?”  Jo asks with a grin, as Alex sits in the chair, slumped over and breathing heavily, drops of sweat on his brow.  Jo gently takes Alex’s head and lifts it back, so he can look at her face.  “Now, are you going to talk, or do I get to have another piece of you?”<br/><br/>Alex must once again roll a willpower feat save.  His current willpower score suffers again the -2 penalty for an intense orgasm, leaving him with a score of 5.  He rolls 2d6and gets the number 6, failing his willpower feat roll.  He subtracts -1 from his willpower score and gets a 4.  However, the -2 penalty for the orgasm will now fade, leaving him with a willpower score of 6.<br/><br/>Attempting to Lie<br/><br/>At this point, Alex will be compelled to talk.  However, Alex can risk trying to tell Jo and Alisa a lie.  Alex has a score of 8 for his charisma, plus he gets an additional +1 bonus do to his penis size bonus because both females find him physically attractive, giving him a total of 9 charisma points.  However, because the thieves are his enemies, and he has been tortured, he loses 2 points because he is talking with unfriendly NPCs.  So, Alex has a –2 penalty to his charisma score of 9, leaving him with a score of 7.  Alex must roll 2d6 die, and roll under his current charisma score to determine if he is successful.  Since he is talking to two characters, Alex must roll twice, so that both believe him.  If he rolls a 7 or under for either of the girls, they will not believe him.  Alex rolls 2d6 die and rolls a 10.  He fails to convince Jo that he’s telling the truth.  Because he has failed with Jo, he doesn’t need to roll for Alisa.<br/><br/>“They're…they're at the bar…”  Alex says, still breathing heavily and occasionally gasping as Alisa continues her merciless application of pleasure.<br/><br/>“Hmm…”  Jo muses as she looks Alex over.  Alisa doesn’t even bother stopping, tilting Alex’s penis so it points straight up so she can lazily drag her tongue from the bottom of his shaft, all the way up the underside, then roll her tongue around the penis tip several times before slowly dragging it back down again.<br/><br/>Alisa makes a sexual attack roll to get Alex in the state of Aroused once again.  Alex gains another +1 bonus to his willpower due to him being male and ends up with a score of 7.  They both roll 2d6 and add their respective scores.  Alisa gets a 12 and Alex gets an 11 as he is now considered Aroused and will suffer +1 on the next sexual attack roll.  Alisa has 2 attacks left.<br/><br/>Sexual Items and Penetration<br/><br/>“I don’t believe you.”  Jo finally says.  Jo then holds up a small vial.  “Lets see if I can convince you to be a little more honest, shall I?”  With one hand, Jo gently pushes Alisa away from Alex’s hard-on, to pour the contents of the vial over it.  “Super-Glide lubricant,” Jo says, gently massaging it all over Alex’s cock.  “For when absolute penetration is an absolute must.”  Joy gives Alex a wink as she lefts her skirt, and pushes aside her panties.<br/><br/>Jo rubs the tip of Alex’s slippery dick against her warm pussy lips before she slowly mounts him, moaning with pleasure.  Meanwhile, Alisa has pulled Alex’s pants all the way down, exposing his balls.  Once Jo has fully mounted Alex’s rod, she begins to slowly lift herself up and down.  Alisa, for her part, begins to suck and lick Alex’s large balls, enjoying the taste and teasing them with her tongue.<br/><br/>“Oh, this is fucking great!”  Jo cries out, now bouncing up and down with wild abandonment, lost in the pleasure.  Alex can only moan as Jo’s tight lips squeeze his cock like a flesh vice, and Alisa takes turns sucking on either testicle.<br/><br/>Alex must now roll again as he is pleasured.  Because Alex has already climaxed twice, he gets another +1 to his willpower, giving him a willpower score of 7.  Because only Jo is touching his penis, he only needs to make a willpower save roll against her.  However, because Alisa is still pleasuring him as well, Jo gets a +1 bonus to her sex skills due to the ‘Double Team’ bonus.  In addition, the use of the lubrication gives another +1 bonus to Jo's Sex skill roll as well as another +1 due to Alex being Aroused..  So Jo, with a sex skill level of 10, plus a +3 bonus now has 13 for sexual attack roll.  Jo rolls 2d6 die and turns up a 17.  Alex rolls his willpower save roll, and rolls a 15.  Alex has failed to save against Jo’s roll.  Next, Alex must roll to find out the severity of the orgasm.  Since Alisa is not actually making actual contact with his rod, he does not suffer the +1 intensity to orgasm.  Alex rolls a 1d12 and gets a 7.  Alex will experience an above average orgasm, and lose 4 stamina points.  Jo has no attacks and Alisa has 2 attacks because she was not overly involved this time.<br/><br/>Now, however, there is one more difference then before.  This time Jo is having sex with Alex.  Because of this, Jo must make a willpower feat roll, or experience an orgasm herself.  His penis size stat, +1 for being nine inches, does come into play, giving Jo a –1 penalty.  Because Jo is on top (the one in control of the sex, setting the pace, angle, etc) she gets a +1 on her willpower roll, giving her a willpower of 11, but because of her –1 penalty, it is dropped to 10. Jo must now make a willpower “feat” (see Feats section) and roll 2d6 dice and get an 10 or under due to the –3 penalty on her willpower score to save vs. orgasm.  Jo rolls two 6 sided dice, and gets a 11.  Having failed her save roll, Jo must roll 1d12 to find out the severity of her orgasm.  She will take a +1 penalty to her intensity roll due to Alex’s penis size bonus.  Jo rolls 1d12 and gets a 4, +1 for the penis size penalty, and gets a 5, giving her an average orgasm, and causing her to lose 3 stamina points.<br/><br/>“AHHH!”  Both Alex and Jo cry out as they climax together.  As Alex empties his load deep inside Jo, she continues to bounce up and down, though at a much slower pace as the waves of her own orgasm wash over her.  Alisa pays no heed either of them as she continues to gently suckle on Alex’s balls, helping to make sure that Jo adequately empties them.<br/><br/>“So...”  Jo begins, once she has gotten her breath back.  “Are you ready to talk yet?”<br/><br/>At this point, having failed his willpower feat roll already, and being brought to orgasm again, Alex is ready to talk.  He cannot make anymore saves and will tell them what he knows.<br/><br/>“Ok…ok…”  Alex says head sunken, exhausted and drained.  “I’ll tell you…just…no more…”<br/><br/>“That’s a good boy…”  Jo purrs, leaning over and giving Alex a quick little peck on the cheek, then dismounts.  “That’s enough Alisa, he’s ready to talk.”  Alisa gives Alex’s sac one last lick, and then gets back to her feet.<br/><br/>Alex draws in one long, slow breath, and then tells them everything he knows.<br/><br/><br/>Forced Pleasure with Orgasm Denial<br/><br/>Orgasm Denial is, in many ways the opposite of what I have shown you above.  Instead of a character being forced to orgasm again and again against their will, they are denied release.  Orgasm Denial is where a character is brought to the brink of orgasm, and then given a momentary respite as not to allow them to achieve orgasm.  As time goes by the characters need for relief will continue to grow as they are teased.  Unlike in the examples above, the character does not use willpower for the saving throw, but endurance, because they must endure the teasing and not give in.  In this case, the torturer does not need to make any roll but the victim must make an endurance feat save roll to prevent from talking.<br/><br/>The torturer has as many attacks as his or her sex score in this case.  A torturer must have a minimum sex score of 8 to be able to perform this attack.  So, a character having a sex score number of 8 would be allowed to do 4 Foreplay/Orgasm attacks and 8 Denial attacks.  Also, for each round the victim resists, the intensity of the orgasm will increase by +1.<br/><br/>Tasha looks around her.  She is securely strapped to a chair naked, her arms bound to her sides.  Her legs had been spread considerably apart, and held that way by two ropes attached to the ceiling.  She can’t believe she was stupid enough to allow city guard to get the drop on her.  As she looked around her poorly lit cell, she waited for the guard that would eventually come to ‘question’ her about whatever reason they had decided to capture her for.<br/><br/>As if on cue, the door to her cell opened and In walked a rather handsome middle-aged guard.  On his hip was a pouch, no doubt filled with tools to help him extract any info he wanted from Tasha.  He closes the door behind him and slowly walks over to her.<br/>“Now, my dear, I have some questions for you.”  The guard says, taking a slim feather from his pouch.<br/><br/>“Go to hell.”  Tasha says, struggling slightly and feeling a little embarrassed by the fact she was so displayed before this man.<br/><br/>“You first dear…”  The guard says with a grin.  Getting own on his knees, the guard begins gently running his tongue along Tasha’s slit as she starts to become aroused.  Using his thumbs, he gently parts her and slides his tongue deep inside her.<br/><br/>“oh…ah…”  Tasha gasps in pleasure despite her wishes.  The guard has obviously done this before, and it doesn’t take long before Tasha’s love button has exited its hood.  To make matters worse, Tasha realizes the guard has a tongue stud, which he lovingly rolls around her clit gently.  It only takes several minutes of the constant attention on her clitoris before Tasha is getting close to orgasm.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the guard stops, leaving Tasha gasping in expectation.  Looking up at her with a grin, the guard says.  “So, ready to talk now?”<br/><br/>Now, in this case things are different.  Tasha is not fighting a character to not be brought to orgasm.  In this case, Tasha is fighting the desire to give in so that she may get an orgasm.  In this case, it will be more like a feat than defending a sexual attack.  Tasha must make a endurance feat save to not talk.  The interrogator has a sex score of 8 and now has 7 attacks left.<br/><br/>Tasha has an endurance score of 7.  Tasha must now roll 2d6 die, and roll under her willpower.  Tasha rolls and gets a 5.  Tasha has made a successful save.  Now, she must subtract 1 point from her current endurance score.  There will now be a +1 penalty to intensity of orgasm when Tasha gives in and begs for release.<br/><br/>“I’ll never talk!”  Tasha says defiantly.<br/><br/>“Oh?  Are you so sure?”  The guard says with a laugh.  Reaching out, he carefully tears Tasha’s shirt down the middle.  “My, what a buxom half-elf you are…”  The guard says, eying Tashas large DD sized breasts.  “I wonder how sensitive these are?”  Without waiting for a response, the guard leans forward and begins gently tracing his tongue around the edge of Tasha’s left nipple, occasionally playing his tongue stud over her swollen nipple head.  Meanwhile his left hand gently massages her right tit, lightly squeezing and tickling it.  His right hand focuses on her pussy, slowly inserting his middle finger inside her moist hole and rubbing against the top, slowly, back and forth over her G-spot.<br/><br/>“Oh Goddess!”  Tasha gasps and whimpers.  This guard definitely knows what he’s doing!  Tasha soon is thrusting her hips in rhythm with his own stroking finger.  Sweat of arousal and lust fills the air.   Just as she is about to climax, the guard once again stops.<br/><br/>“No!  Don’t stop!”  tasha blurts out before she can stop herself.<br/><br/>“Then talk, dear.”  The guard grins at her.<br/><br/>Once again, Tasha must make an endurance feat save.  With 2d6, she must roll under her current endurance, that being 6.  Tasha rolls and gets the number 8.  Tasha has failed her endurance feat roll.  Tasha subtracts -1 from her endurance score, bringing it down to 5.  The guard has 6 attacks left.<br/><br/>Now, she is compelled to talk.  However, If Tasha wants, she can lie.  To do this, she must make a charisma feat save.  Tasha has a base charisma score of 8, and her DD sized breasts give her a +2 bonus when talking to men, however, because the guard is an unfriendly NPC, she also gets a –2 penalty, which negates her natural bonus, and brings her Charisma score back down to 8.  Luckily, she is also a thief so she gains an additional +2 bonus from her class as well as a +2 bonus from being a half-elf.  She has the final charisma score of 12.  However, the maximum number someone is allowed when making feat saves is 10.  Tasha must now roll 2d6 and get under 10.  Tasha rolls her dice and gets 4 as she has successfully lied to the guard.  She loses 1 charisma point for making a charisma roll, leaving her with a score of 11.  If she needed to lie again, she would able to make the feat save against a number of 10 still.<br/><br/>“I’ll tell you anything you want, just let me cum!”  Tasha moans.<br/><br/>“Answer my questions first, and then I’ll give you your pleasure.”  The guard says, taking a piece of parchment and a quill from his pouch.  For the next several minutes, the guard jots down everything Tasha says, occasionally using the feather-end of the quill to gently tickle and tease her hardened love nub and protruding petals, just to keep her on edge.  Finally, after a good twenty minutes, the guard finishes his interrogation.<br/><br/>“I’ve answered you questions, now let me climax.”  Tasha begs.<br/><br/>“A deal is a deal.”  The guard says with a grin.  Kneeling down again, the guard begins rolling her tongue stud over Tasha’s love button, while he inserts a finger into her dripping canal and begins rubbing it over the roof, rubbing the G-spot over and over again.  It takes less then a minute for this technique to bring Tasha to orgasm.<br/><br/>Tasha must now roll a 1d12 to determine the power of her orgasm.  Because she has endured two rounds of teasing, she gets a +2 to her roll total.  Tasha rolls her dice, and gets a 6, which she adds the +2 to, and now has a total of 8.  She has accomplished an above average orgasm, and loses 4 stamina points.<br/><br/><br/>Forced Pleasure from Monsters<br/><br/>Once again, this falls into a somewhat controversial area. This, like the area above, will be left up to players as to how far they want it to go.  For example, I could simply have a monster that, when striking the character, causes the character to react as though they were hit with an orgasm spell.  Or, I could make it more physical, for example, perhaps a tentacle has snatched a male character up.  It will to bind him, and pulls his pants down before wrapping itself around the character’s manhood, stroking it in a way that might induce orgasm.  A female character, in a similar position, might have her nipples and clitoris gently stroked, or even possible penetration, in the attempt to cause an orgasm.  Since this is somewhat controversial, I will accommodate players as best as I can in this area, as I will in NC sexual matters.<br/><br/>What will be the same though, is this.  If a character has been grabbed, they have been bound by a monster in such a way; they must make a strength or dexterity feat save to escape. If Bobo the Barbarian had been grabbed by a tentacle monster, and was being jerked off, he would have to roll under his strength score to escape from the monster.<br/><br/>Bobo’s strength score is currently 10.  However, for every orgasm Bobo must endure while being held, he receives a –1 strength penalty.  This will be added onto any penalty he receives for failing his strength feat roll. If Bobo fails his first attempt, he will lose 1 strength point for rolling for the feat, and if during the monsters attack phase, it successfully forces Bobo to orgasm again, he will subtract another 1 strength point for his next attempt  this will give him a 8 strength score.  If he fails a second time, he will lose another strength point and get another –1 penalty, making his strength stat now 7.  The strength penalties induced by the orgasm are only temporary, and are removed once a character has escaped.<br/><br/>I hope I have shown you sufficient examples of how the “forced pleasure” concept works.  I would prefer that people write how their character would react to such a thing, and prefer that they make it more then a few sentences long.  Once again though, I will never make anybody do any of these things against their will as we’re all here to have fun.<br/><br/>Additional Notes<br/><br/>Also, later in the game, assuming it’s a success and everybody enjoys it, there will be tools, equipment and such that can increase a person’s sex score.  An example of one such item would be a tongue stud, giving the wearer a +1 when it comes to oral sex.  Later, there might even be a magical tongue stud, which vibrates giving the wearer a +2 bonus for oral.  However, we’ll have to get that far in the game first.  ;)<br/><br/>Ironically, there is something called a Gift that can already stimulate the bonuses stated and can get gotten at the beginning of character creation.  We will cover that in another section (you know the drill).  For now, just keep it in mind.<br/><br/>TICKLING<br/><br/>In this game, tickling will play a role on several levels.  There will be tickling spells, tickling objects, and tickling attacks, along with tickling being used as a form of torture.  While tickling, like sex, will not be the main focus of the game, there will be a fair amount of it involved.<br/><br/>Your own characters will have a certain amount of control in this respect, just like the sexual aspects, they will be able to choose their own actions, ie casting tickling spells, or tickling enemy NPC’s for information, or just tickling people for fun.  However, your characters will not have any control if they are captured, or the victims of a tickling attack, or tickling spell.  When subjected to tickling, a character must make a roll with one 12 sided dice to determine how intense the tickling is.  While being tickled, the character can do nothing more then laugh and cry losing their action for the round.<br/><br/>1-2= Pft.  You call that tickling?  You are giggling slightly but that is it.  The lost round still applies but that is it.<br/><br/>3-4= Fortunately, your worst spots are not being tickled.  You're laughing, but it could be worse.  Lose 2 stamina points.<br/><br/>5-6= You're suffering a normal tickle attack.  You will laugh, scream, and writhe to try and avoid the appendages tickling you.  Lose 3 stamina points.<br/><br/>7-8= The tickling is much worse.  You have trouble staying on your feet, you are laughing so hard.  Lose 4 stamina points.<br/><br/>9-10= The tickling is really, really bad.  Tears are springing from your eyes and your face is mottled red because you are having trouble breathing.  Lose 5 stamina points.<br/><br/>11-12= The tickling is so horrible you can not remain on your feet and are on the ground rolling in forced mirth.  If this keeps up, you might pass out or piss yourself!  You lose 6 stamina points and an additional round to recover from the tickling.<br/><br/><br/>Tickling Spells<br/><br/>In this game there will be spells that tickle the target of the spell.  One such spell is “tickling hands”.  This spell causes a pair of feminine, disembodied hands to appear and begin tickling there target.  The target must first make a Magic save to see if they have avoided the spell.<br/><br/>Tickling Through Magic<br/><br/>Alex has a magic stat of 9, while the NPC mage has a magic score of 10.  The mage must roll 2d6 die and add them to his magic score of 10 to see how strong his magical spell is.  The mage rolls and gets a 7, making his magical attack 17.  Alex then must roll 2d6 die, and add it to his magic score of 9.  Alex gets a 3 with his roll and this makes his magical defense 12.  Alex has failed his magic save and is hit by the tickling spell.<br/><br/><br/>Tickling Items/Objects<br/><br/>In this game, there will be cursed items which cause tickling.  An example of that might be a cursed pair of shoes, which once placed on, cannot be removed, save a remove curse spell, which might periodically tickle the feet of the wearer, or in more severe cases, continuously tickle the wearer.<br/><br/>Another quick example.<br/><br/>Tasha the thief has been caught stealing from a local magic shop.  After the guard talks with the merchant of the store, they decide to punish her by making her put on a pair of cursed shoes for a week, which will tickle her feet periodically.  When not in combat the shoes will tickle at random, and pending the DM’s decision, stamina points might or might not be removed.  However, if Tasha goes into battle with the shoes on, every third or fourth round (DM’s decision) she will react as though her feet are being tickled mercilessly, and roll the appropriate dice to determine how much stamina is lost, as well as losing her turn for that round.<br/><br/><br/>Tickling as Torture/Interrogation<br/><br/>In this game there will be times when the characters are tickled as a way of making them talk.  In many ways, this will be just like the Forced Pleasure torture.  Instead of sexual pleasure though, the target will be tickled.  The primary difference is that there is no division of attacks; the character is just tickled.  Each time they fail their endurance roll; they will subtract -1 from the score and roll a 1d12 to determine the intensity fo the tickling attack. Tickling attacks are far more exhausting than sexual attacks.  A torturer can make as many tickling attacks as his tickling score.  So a character with a tickling score of 6 would be allowed to make 6 tickling attacks in interrogation.<br/><br/>Melinda was exploring a dungeon with her traveling companions, Alex, Bobo, and Tasha.  While in the dungeon, Melinda accidentally set off a trap, causing a pit to open under her.  Melinda fell down the pit, and ended up in a small cell, where several brigands were there to greet her.  Binding her hands behind her back, the brigands quickly take her to a set of stocks, and place her feet in them.  After locking them in place, one of the brigands removes her shoes, and begins to question her, tickling her feet.<br/><br/>The brigand’s tickling score is 8, while Melinda has an endurance score of 4.  The brigand must roll 2d6 die, and add the result to his tickling score to determine how skilled of a tickling attack roll the brigand makes.  The brigand rolls his dice and gets a 6, he then adds that to his tickling score base of 8, giving him a total of 14.  Melinda must now roll 2d6 die and add her endurance score to get her defense roll. Melinda rolls her dice and gets a 5.  Adding 5 to her endurance score of 4, Melinda gets a total of 9.  Melinda has failed her endurance save and must roll 1d12 to determine how intense her tickling is.  Melinda rolls a 3, which is a mediocre tickle.  Melinda must subtract 2 stamina points from her stamina score.  Melinda also must subtract -1 from her endurance score for being tortured, leaving her with an endurance score of 3.<br/><br/>Melinda will then need to make a willpower feat save or tell the bandits the truth.  She can attempt to lie once and the rules for how it is played out are the same as Forced Pleasure.<br/><br/>When it is the bandit’s turn again, he will continue to torture Melinda, and they above actions will repeat themselves, with Melinda losing the appropriate stamina points and her endurance points.  After failing her willpower feat save, Melinda will then be compelled to talk.  However, if Melinda wants she may try and lie to the brigand.<br/><br/>Melinda has a charisma of 7 and has a D cup, which gives a +1 bonus to her charisma roll, bringing her charisma score to 8.  Because the bandit is an unfriendly NPC, she receives a –2 penalty to her roll, which gives her a charisma score of 6.  Melinda must roll a 6 or under to get a successful roll.  Melinda rolls two 6 sided dice and rolls a 10.  Melinda has rolled over her charisma score, meaning she must now tell the brigand the truth.  Melinda must subtract -1 charisma for her attempt to lie, which would leave her with a charisma score of 7.<br/><br/><br/>Tickling During Combat<br/><br/>In this game there will be some monsters who tickle as an attack, just like monsters who force pleasure as an attack.  Usually the monster must make a successful grab attack before they can tickle their prey.<br/><br/>Bobo is fighting a giant magic octopus.  While he is fighting it, it manages to successful grab attack on him effectively binding him.  During it’s next round, or during its current round if it still has any actions left, it will begin to tickle Bobo.  The barbarian will be tickled each round and lose appropriate stamina points for each round.  He must make a successful strength or dexterity feat save to escape the octopus’ grip.  Bobo has a strength score of 10, so he must roll under 10 to accomplish this.  However, because Bobo is being tickled, he receives a –1 penalty to his initial roll.  Each time he makes a strength feat roll, he will subtract  -1 from his strength scoer.  However, unlike the forced pleasuring, Bobo will not receive an additional –1 penalty every roll.  Bobo will, however, have to roll every turn he is tickled to see how much stamina points he loses to the octopus.<br/><br/>I hope I have accurately described tickling and how it will be used in this game.  Just like forced pleasuring, I expect people to write at least somewhat detailed accounts of how their characters are reacting.  I’m not expecting anything huge, but hopefully something more then one or two sentences of text.<br/>"

Every curve, gesture, sigh, smirk and roll to her hips send forth sensual carnality to it’s fullest, yet in a teasing manner one would wish to sate fully, yet show a spark of a cruel, deceitful and playful curiosities hidden deep within multiple demeanors to hide the dark playful spark.<br/>Standing at the height of five foot nine inches with a voluptuous, yet sensual frame, one would think she’d have a perfect hourglass figure, except she seems to be just a little top heavy but she doesn’t seem to mind at all; using them as key advantages towards other carnal races.<br/>Her dark, blood red eyes shimmer with intrigue of a more, softer and sensual aspect. Her lids generally relaxed at all times, but near to slits as if she was quasi-scornful for some reason or other.<br/>The angular aspects of her face with sharp points and gentle curves are the basic aspects of being an Elf, which seems to carry a near perpetual playful smirk but at certain times, a more devious grin that creeps at the corners of her mouth when she spots something of interest.<br/>Soft, lavender lashes curl from her brow in thin, narrow lines, kept at a fine line with a small bit of thickness at the center of the brow. Always seemed to be at an angle when she generally has a smirk, but more so relaxed when she finds something of her liking. Her long, luscious silver hair seems to have been taken great care and pride of as it reaches back in full locks down to her ankles. Always brushed back behind her pointed, serrated at the end ears which don silver piercings of their own, seemingly not to carry any tresses, braids or any such; always kept brushed back and silky soft to the touch. The pigmentation of her skin is as all the other Elves, fair and clear; yet holds a natural softness and succulent in appearance to give off desires just to touch the small exposed bits of her flesh. The contours of her physical frame suggest a lithe, succulent body with a minor hint of athletic potential.<br/>Much so like many of the other elves with their generalized frail appearing bodies, she seems much so to fit in, yet with a bit more of a definition upon her features. Wider at the hips and waist then most elves would, yet she seems to proportion finely as they generally do as her hips always seem to carry an enticing, natural sway to them with each careful step.<br/>Her hands encased in dark leather gloves and feet as delicate and gentle suggest a softness to them, delicate, careful, and fluid suggest each moment these limbs seem to grace the presence of movement, as if working together in unison to harmonize amongst one another to the grandest scale. Generally seen garbed in the same dark leather garb commonly known as BDSM design by it’s various buckles, belts and tight fitting areas, giving off a more enticing, succulent view of her soft, tender flesh.<br/>The leather suit seems to be designed as if it was a mixture between a loin dress, a long leather over-coat and a halter top, all combined into one, creating a strange, interesting mix of design. The top seemingly keeps her soft, sumptuous bosom in place, but pushed upward, promoting visual enhancement for the deviant thoughts of base needs of carnal interactions. Tight around the thighs and legs that the leather suit seems to produce thigh high, pin heel boots that seem to click with each step upon any hard surface. The loin part of the garb seems to be long and narrow, giving off a more loin cloth feel as it shows off the inner curves of her thighs and pelvis, hinting forth a more teasing view to what’s underneath.<br/>So far, apparently nothing is worn underneath due to there be no hint of straps for an undergarment of any kind. The stomach of the outfit seems to be outlined in dark red, etched into the center of it seems to be an intricate design of a snake devouring it’s own tail. Upon a thick belt which hangs loose, but steady seems to be various item pouches to carry forth coins, small hand sized objects and as well, the standard leather clip which holds the bindings for her Longsword, her Longbow and quiver usually seen donned over a thin black leather strap which goes with her eccentric outfit which hangs over her right shoulder when traveling out in the field or around towns and villages.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>Not much is really known about the well endowed beauty and  her reasoning for leaving her haven of safety. From hearsay and rumors one would find that she was in fact bored with teasing all the standard, arrogant elves in search of more playful game. Her desires were also said to be unmatched and she has once bested an Inccubus to learn one of it’s secrets. As for the truth of such thing, only those who dig deep enough would be able to find the truth from the rumors.<br/>"

Her insatiable appetite for adventure, danger, love and sex has landed her in many odd places..  and she lives for where fate takes her. Money has little value to her, the pleasure which wealth buys she finds for the taking.   Despite the lineage of warriors and sorcerers being lost on this odd child, she has never forgotton the art of the longbow.. and has a deep, innate love for magic. This love has burrowed so deep within her she finds it hard to resist.    Leiendra's escapades in the Forest Cities came to an abrupt halt one day as her path crossed with Aelin. From that day not a soul in her home had heard of her... and from that day, she has now ended up to face the Labyrinth, alongside the more than slightly insane ecstacy mage. While still a wild spirit, she seems to be tamed solely by her... almost revering her with an excited fear and deep respect for her.<br/><br/>The thief Mi'Zengra is adorned with a strap of semi-hardened leather that slips around her head, tucked behind her ears and hair often tossing itself over the slick black surface. Two mock-horns, circled straps, curve over the top of her head. The two tips end in tiny holes, perfect for putting feathers, chains.. any sort of decoration she'd wish.<br/>A red shirt clings loosely to her body, more like an overtonic though the fabric isnt nearly as thick. The entire front part has been removed, so that it consists of sleeves, shoulders, and a cape-like back.<br/>A hardened black leather bustier holds back her breasts. Slender curves, the bottoms of her orbs, clearly go down a bit further than the bustier can cover.<br/>Brown pants cling loosely to her hips, often slipping down them a bit as she moves. They're rather basic, often being torn, ripped, repaired and replaced.<br/>Tight, polished leather boots crawl up along her legs. They're buckled with hard leather straps, making a mock sense of armor.<br/>Wrought around her neck, snugly but not too tight, was a polished leather collar. Upon its side was a steel nameplate. A word, or perhaps, words were written in elvish here.  On the front of the collar was a rather unmistakeable D-ring.. though polished, marks on the inside of the metal have made it out to be rather well used..<br/><br/>Leiendra's hair was wild blonde. Some patches a platinum sort of white, others a pure and tainted form of orange and red.  It fell down to her mid back, though the front was anything but precious and combed. Tendrils of it fell across her face and along her ears, barely kept above her chin as they were forced to curve upward by her headpiece.   Her whole body was slim and athletic. Slightly tanned skin showed perfectly the gentle curves of her muscular undertone. The skin that graced her had that perfect, elven softness to it. Crystal coloured eyes watched out at the world, almost colourless in thier soft form of grey. Some sort of grin had never found itself away from her naturally pink lips for very long. Regal and sharp features of her face carried that of both an elven and a proud heritage. It somehow seemed odd on the vagrant, though the never-ending smiles broke such a 'proper' visage."

'chosen' AOK's only happen roughly 20% of the time..the rest are random.  (Which is why there are a lot of agents who have masters degrees in Agriculture.. seems to always happen)  Even after AOK's are chosen.. the level of proficiency itself..is just a die roll.<br/><br/>Thus the danger.. one can pick alot of skills.. but when the die is cast..the character comes out completely different.  Such is also the risk of having English as a second language.  A character may end up being unplayable.. or difficult to play... depending how nice or mean the dice are feeling.<br/><br/>What it all adds up to is.. we need to work together to mold the characters.  And..the unfortunate reality is sometimes people arn't all equal.  A character is what you make of them.  I once had a secret agent who before spy life was a refrigerator repair man.

This is where a character in this system gets a little say in what you are good at. And its about a 25% chance so most do get one, maybe two and if real lucky 3 or 4.

The whole intrinsic 'problem' with being random is you never know when the random skills come up.. and one may not know what's in the cards.<br/><br/>of course having said that.. a player does know their stats before they roll for skills.  Back to problem 1... intrinsic liability of being net-generated.  And what the players arn't seeing are the 2 or 3 characters each that are thrown out because they are generally useless.<br/><br/>This is also why characters arn't posted until they are completed..for all these final tweaks.  Incidentally Nat, you will probably be having the first completed character.. which is lighting the fire under the DM butt to finish my game aid.<br/><br/>(Don't you hate it when you decide to do something cool like photoshop a game map of the investigation area then get mired down in the mechanics of fussing with photoshop?)<br/><br/>Also.. so people know where I'm coming from.. you won't just be 'thrown to the wolves'.  In a couple days time I will be starting a thread for the mission prep.  And your group does have an Administrator who you can ask questions and request equipment... plus the party will have time to go over the briefing, maps, etc and discuss among yourselves (iIcly, natrually) before actual deployment.  If it does drag on then I will give a timelimit..but right now we're playing it by ear :)  Since no-one answered regarding the hosting, certain game aids (maps, etc) will be emailed to every player."

I was thinking there is one of two ways this can be handled.  Elliquiy has a chat server.. and I'd like to use that to do combat in real time.  Otherwise.. it will involve some IM's to me..and I'll handle all the combat stuff.<br/><br/>Top Secret has abit of an innovative H-T-H combat system.  when I get home...I'll do a light overview.  Basically..it's sortof like rock-paper-scissors.  Everyone has a selection of actions they can take.. the players take their actions..the baddies take theirs..and then the results are compared.  It gets more complex when we have combat trained taking on untrained. (such as Judo vs Unarmed) where it more or less turns into a cakewalk.<br/><br/>Gun play..is realatively more simple :D  And I'm happy you guys seem to have Princess covering your backs :D

He can reduce the damage from a blow so it will only be a bit lower then mortal, he can also just say that the enemy slipped and feel at the last moment.<br/>It's considered bad to do a 'ok, you lose a fate point and survive the blow, then you get killed by the second one' setup, the FP should represent extra chances.<br/>My personal take on it would be for Kasen03 to keep the number of our fate points secret, that way we'll never know if we are risking life or not.<br/><br/>Oh, and could you tell me how do my stats translate to combat effectivness?<br/>I only have unarmed skill and no skills pertaining to shooting.<br/>I have a low caliber, accurate pistol, so what are my chances of hitting someone?<br/>Am i better than an average person in brawling?<br/>I get the impression that my char would not last long in serious combat."

John Cleese. (Much to the chargrin of Python fans)<br/><br/>the game's 'hit points' are called life Levels.<br/><br/>Now..a comparison of the agents<br/><br/>Princess   (I unfortunatly don't have her sheet.. can you please fireit abck to me?)<br/>Ghost       Offense : 79   Life Level: 18  HTH value: 163<br/>Sword      Offense : 39   Life Level: 7   HTH value: 103<br/><br/>So...at a glance..unless Sword got in a lucky punch (which does happen) it's pretty much a no-brainer there.<br/>"

In my part I do not have any contact whit the child if not neccesary nor become tied to your house nor have any say about the child's schooling, in all purposes the child is yours and it is your whim to do whit it what you like. As you may know, as monk I could not publicly notice the child otherwise I am exiled from the order and I cannot do that, also if your finances are cut by your family because fo the child I cannot give any resources because I have none of them because order supports only me whit neccesities of life. But I can use my information contacts to help you gain finance or support till child most likely exalts and bears clearly high bloodline, wich of course negates any frown upon the fact that father is unkwon.<br/><br/>Do you agree on this term, or shall I stop the tempting now and leave it at that? In my philosophy there is no 'non-breeding purposable' sex, and I find it distastefull to have sex and then prevent possibly pregnancy wich may birth a strongly possible a powerfull gifted child. Of course you should remain silent about this whole matter generally if we do not do anything other than mere kiss."" While Ollap speaked all along whit serious tone (whit fluid softness), a somewhat strange thing was occuring. Thanks to deeper martial training and some unic discoveries, Ollap started slowly channel essence trough his hands to Ibix! Not using it to create any charms or sorceries, only purely exchanging essence energies between Ibix and him!<br/><br/>This is only possible whit two exalts, and wich other should be high breeding rated and whit both it is more intense! Also the unic schooling how to channel essence in Immaculate martial charms makes it more unic and more deeper connection!

This creates many different unbalanced individuals. Some, such as Cathak Cainan, the patriarch of House Cathak, or Peleps Deled, the scourge of Anathema, the leader of the Wyld Hunt, a madman- Yet a brilliant one- flourish under these difficulties, becoming legends. Then there are the many who, out of bad luck, find themselves unable to function as well as they need to in Dynastic society.<br/><br/>These poor souls find themselves in many places- The legions, with small commands, exiled- Either in full, or everything but name- and a few find themselves waking up in the underworld, with nothing to do but have a short, unfortunate life ending with Immaculate Dragons of the Wood Aspect. And a few are sent to the Wyld Hunt, to face off against the strongest champions of the strongest gods, reborn.<br/><br/>These dregs of the rich gumbo of Dynastic society, the first barrier between the Realm and Satrapies, and the forces of all the supernatural forces that wish to take the Realm for themself, from minor Thaumaturges, to the Anathema themselves. They are one of the most important barriers to protect the Realm.<br/><br/>And yet, bad luck isn't always bad luck in the end, and in Creation, particularly in the Realm, luck is hardly ever luck- Sometimes it is the work of beings higher than even the Dragon's Children. You may be the ones who have been destined to get that one in a million chance, the chance to save the Realm, to be the progenitors of a new Great House... or even to be the new ruler on the Scarlet Throne. But the important thing about one in a million chances is that even though 'luck' may favor that one chance, the rest of the world holds nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine tickets to the great lottery."

Finally deciding it would be futile to keep running, he accepts his fate and leads Captain Darling, Lieutenant George and Private Baldrick over the top of the trench and out into No man's land for the 'Big Push'. Blackadder's final recorded words (before ""CHARGE!""), standing in the trench with Darling, George and Baldrick, were ""Good luck, everybody"". These words from someone who, over the space of four series spanning several centuries, had become known to the public as an egotistical, self-centered, cynical, blunt, sly, thieving, corrupt, villainous, yet curiously likable character, went a long way to underline the serious, sobering mood of this episode. In these last few moments of this momentous sitcom all the clever put-downs, the witty one-liners, the slapstick and the turnip jokes, were, with this one line, effectively pushed to one side, and the viewers realised that this was no longer a comedy, but a harsh, cruel and grim statement of fact."

On one table sit two men, discussing something, on another sits a solitary man carrying a quiver, with his slightly large dog companion beside him. On a third table sits a female, armed with twin whips, sitting quietly in a corner watching the room. On another table, several men are drinking and celebrating, enjoying the ale and music. Several others sit and stand around the place. In one corner is a door leading to a spiral staircase leading up to the bedrooms, and down to the cellar. In another corner and covering nearly a complete wall is a long wooden bar complete with stalls and the host standing behind serving customers. Several serving women run around hastily carrying trays laden with food and drinks. On one side of the room is a large stone set fireplace.<br/><br/>Its cold outside, raining, not good travelling weather, it is the one reason the inn is so full. The doors closed, keeping out the elements and allowing the rooms temperature to be comfortable. The light in the room is supplied by the fire, a candle on each table, and several lanterns fixed to the walls, its comfortable light inside.<br/><br/>A small disagreement breaks out amongst the large group of men sitting at the central table. ""<strong>I once killed several giants with one swing of my axe</strong>"" stated one. The rest of the men burst out laughing; ""<strong>You couldn’t kill a common rat with that dull axe of yours</strong>"", was the reply from one of his comrades. The jesting from that table was loud, almost overbearing, everyone in the inn had no issue in hearing the conversation taking place. ""<strong>I will prove it; King Arblus is offering 500,000 gold pieces to anyone who ends the city’s plague</strong>"". He paused for a second before continuing, his voice slightly lower this time, ""<strong>I shall travel to Union City and aid the king, and claim my reward, just you mark my words</strong>"". Again several of his comrades, laughed and jeered the fellow. ""<strong>I have had enough, I will prove it</strong>"", with that he stands up, and collects his things before heading out of the inn. His comrades sat silent for a few seconds, before again bursting into laughter, ""<strong>We had better follow him and make sure he doesn’t get himself killed</strong>"". With that, several of his comrades gather their equipment, and finish their drinks before hastily leaving the inn to follow their companion.<br/><br/>With the departure of that large group, the volume of noise was markedly quieter. After several moments, the female stood up and whispered something to the two monks and several other men, before joining the man with the companion. ""<strong>There goes our marks, what do we do now?</strong>” The man replied, ""<strong>Did you not hear what they said? There’s a large reward going in Union City, adventure and possible death, I think we should go</strong>"". Whilst taking, several men from around the inn form around the table, listening intently to the conversation. ""<strong>Any of you know the way to Union City?</strong>"" he asks, ""<strong>Not I</strong>"" is the general reply returned. ""<strong>I don’t know the way to Union City, but I have a friend in Jordhien who will know</strong>"", states the final man. ""<strong>He may help us, but he will expect something in return</strong>"".<br/><br/>The group sit and talk for several hours, deciding on their actions, finally deciding at the end of the night, that in the morning they will set out on their new quest. The man with the dog companion stands, and heads to the innkeeper, ""<strong>This should cover the cost of my party’s drinks, room, and board for the night</strong>"". He hands the innkeeper a small pouch of gold coins before turning to the stairs headed upstairs, his companion following closely. As the night draws on, the rest of the party retire for the night, one or two at time.<br/><br/>The noise from the Inn almost diminishes at 3am, but never completely ends. Just before dawn the party starts to form downstairs, almost exactly at dawn, everyone is present. There is no one in the main room of the inn, except our party, several drunken men and dwarves, and a single serving woman attempting to keep the room in a state resembling tidy.</em><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">DM: The adventure begins, our aim is to get to Union City, identify the plague there, and solve it by any method deemed necessary. Union City is the capital city of the realm of Morgan. The king, called Arblus, is an ex warrior, retired from adventure by age only. He is rich and well respected; if he is offering 500,000 gold, he means to pay it. The only snag is no one in the group knows the way to Union City, and the local villagers are just that, locals, they have never been outside of the village. We must travel to Jordhien before moving on to Union City, one good thing is Union City is somewhere north, in the same general direction as Jordhien. As of right now, the NPC Nim exists purely to lead the group, by the time we reach Union City, im hoping another leader will become apparent. Then my NPC will not be needed. On a side note, I post in this style, all DM messages are underlined, all story related posts are Italic, and all narration is bold. My personal posts for the NPC Nim are going to be unformatted text for body and bold for actual conversations.<br/><br/>Good Luck and have fun!</span>"

That adds Body, Ref, MA and Health. Depending upon what animal breed you are, depends upon how much those stats are boosted. Most constructs (also called moreau, morry, Genies, or if a human alteration, franks) are cocmbat modles. There are several millionconstructs in the world. Species range from canine, feline, ursine, vulpine, lapine, to just about any that lives and walks. There are no flying species.<br/><br/>Franks are humans that are genetically alterted for superior performance. Consequently, moreaus are feared somewhat, but tolerated. Franks are feared and revivled by most people. Especially the more religeous types since this offends their sensabilities and is a 'Unnatural thing to mess with God's plans!' So most franks hide their altered state from most people.<br/><br/>If you want to play one, let me know.

After a game/session, you get a certain amount of IP for things. Most of these IP are usually given to the skills you used and some for RP in general that you can put anywhere. But they should be used to improve skills you used or are training in.<br/><br/>To improve a skill level, an example is say Handgun. You have a Handgun of a 5. To move that 5 to a 6, you need 10x the IP of the level of the skill. In otherwords, you need to get 50 IP to move that skill to a 6, and a 60 to move it to a 7. (from 6 to 7). On some skills, there are IP modifiers. These can be a modifier of x2 up to a x5 in some. This is a rare thing and is mostly on some of the Martial Arts.  To move that 5 to a 6 on a MA skill that has a IP mod of x3, you now need a 150 IP to get that.<br/><br/>There is also  something new too, you can spend IP to improve your stats. To improve your stats requires 20x the IP.  ie. REF is a 9. To improve that you need 180 IP. From a 10 to a 11, you need 200.<br/><br/>"

From humanities to business to phy ed. She interned around the company in her summer terms as she was being groomed for a Companion that was standard. She spent her first summer in a factory working in blue-collar and management jobs, the second summer for the Companion Office as a clerk and the third summer in the security section where she was a clerk and secretary. After graduating and being given a summer off to enjoy herself she was cyberwared up and assigned to the Companion Office where her record and psych profiles are known they generally will assign her to women executives or couples (she likes threesomes alot)- although she performs well with men they find its best to put her where she'd be the most comfortable. Its not that bad the Companion Office has its own apartment complex for companions, botiques and salons, a gym and spa (she always gets a relaxing full body massage every morning) and all the perks they can give to her- all free as a perks. She can use a company car. And gets a decent salary enough for her personal needs. And in 10 years she'll be freed on her current contract and can very likely score a nice job she's hoping in her section maybe supervising or training.<br/><br/>Appearance: Is a tall, fit, moderately (feminine) athletic woman of mixed Native American and Caucasion descent with long straight glossy black hair, brown expressive eyes and beautiful lightly bronzed skin. Is by any account a beautiful woman in her early 20's. She has fairly normal cyberware and pretty much blends in with the other corporate sorts save in her dress she wears the latest fashions and wears them well the only thing out of place is a smple antique Native American necklace a family heirloom of old beads not too large and grooming nanites make her flawless in that way in all the necessary areas. She tends to wear designer clothes and name brands but most of her things the company provides for her work so are not hers. Has a Light Tattoo of her Corp and marks her as a Companion and property of her Corp, on her upper back hidden by her hair generally...will be removed when her contract is paid off and she gets her freedom. But will want to work for her Corp and hopes again in the Companions Office. She's not huge on visible flashy cosmetic technology she has a monitor but thats for her work to be sure she doesn't get too drunk or high but her other clear ports are for her work to hook into dataports and the like and some light hair that accents her real hair when the mood strikes her and is of various colors soft to wild but it only accents not overwhelms. Like a mood ring of sorts.<br/><br/>Personality:  She is herself leaning to being a lesbian and favors women for friends and lovers but will happily service any executive she's assigned to. Its not she hates men just prefers women a bit more. As a rule she is a company woman and is totally loyal- and after she paid off her debts her future looks rosey after all with her work she has the best networking options on her company short of those with family connections. Her faith is Confuscionism a religion integrated into her company as it teaches the person should be subordinate to the community its a perfect faith for employees- she has an apartment alter and to a company promoted goddess Jan Yin a woman that was elevated the company goddess after leading a life loyal to the principles of Confuscionism (and by her example of loyalty to the company family is good for the company as well). Also has sacred tablets to her ancestors and other trappings of the faith. One thing she is generally non-violent she had self-defesne training, carries a Taser Gun and a pocket keychain of a modern Mace compound but prefers not to give others a reason to shoot her.<br/><br/>Personal Possessions: Necklace, Personal Care Items, Alter Items, Some Clothes, Personal Datacomputer with her Library and Music [Entertainment Center], Robotic Pet Cat [Black Female Tabby- Sheba] and a modest Hydroponic Garden System.<br/><br/>Company Provided Possessions: Apartment, Trendy Clothes, Car, Computer, Herself [for ten years] and pretty much everything else. For weapons she has a Taser Gun and a contemporary version of Mace on a keychain she carries no lethal weapons as it would put her at risk.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Consisting mainly of Western Europe (France, the Low Countries, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Austria) and allied with Eastern Europe. Britain is a member, but maintains a certain separation in many ways. Eastern Europe is a loose alliance called the New Central Europe Union. The Ukraine is more closely allied with the NCEU than Russia.<br/><br/>Britian; is a strong monarchy again. Queen Victoria II, runs the country with a more efficient Parliment and the full (mostly) support of the polpulace. There are problems in the back to nature types, but that is being dealt with. N. Ireland is a full part of England now and Ireland and Scottland close allies. Both of those nations maintain their own governence and armies, with Scottland having it's own Queen (Queen Mary) and is a member of the EU.<br/><br/>France; Still a nation plagued by troubles. It is a very proud nation, struggling with Germany for the control of the EU. Closly allied with Quebec and the nations of N. Africa, France tries to porject itself as a world power when it isn't.<br/><br/>Germany; strong and fairly together, it is the true powerhouse of the EU. A strong economy and military, it is a fairly peaceful nation that works well with it's neighbors.<br/><br/>Spain; ruled by a King, it is a nation slowly coming back into the world stage. Fairly laid back and concidered second class.<br/>Italy, Is a modern peaceful society. That's the imgae it projects to the world. In reality, there is a huge amount of anger at corporate and governmental corruption in the south. Italy has just finished a civil war and is rebuilding.<br/><br/>The Low Countries; small, peaceful and far more influencial than most thing.<br/><br/>The Scandinavian nations are allied with Europe and remain on the edges of the EU. Which suits them just fine. They have a good deal. Being world masters at technological finishing and cybernetic care.<br/><br/>Greece and the Balkan nations. Still riven by civil wars. Greece is coming out of a dark age and now has a civilian goverment in charge.<br/><br/>The NCEU; building up to a respectable power. With aid from the US, Japan and Korea. Trade passes thru them between Russia and the EU as they fend off being outright annexed by either nation.<br/><br/>Russia; is a smaller nation. Having lost Siberia in a civil war to it's own nation. It is working hard to be fully modren, but is a generation behind in most electronics and tech. It's tech is VERY solid and dependable, which helps in selling it.<br/><br/><br/>Africa: N. Africa is a mishmash of nations, the werstern half a loose alliance of allied Islamic nations. There is a strong EU military presence that helps prop up the Western .<br/><br/>The Arab Federate controls the Islamic world from the former Lybian border east to Iran. Holding the nations of Egypt, Suadia Arabia, the Persion Gulf nations. Minus Lebannon, Israel, and Pakistan/Afghanistan. It is ruled by the Caliph and for the most part is a fairlly peaceful nation. It does have some internal troubles. from clerical sects and fanatics that want to overrun the entire world and wipe Israel off of the world. Turkey is a member, but is partially occupied by the EU.<br/><br/>Sub-Sahara Africa; A mishmash of warring nations. It's much the same as now. There is a known biohazard as  diseases rage thruout the lower continent. There is a effective quarentine and anyone going to and from that part of Africa is medically checked. Subsequently, the medical technology being offered to Africa is much better than ever before. With nations and the UN pouring funds and equipment into trying to fix the situation.<br/><br/>South Africa; is being taken over by a breed of genetically enhanced humans (genies or Franks). Black skinned and blonde to white haired (Drow!  not..  ;)  ) These genies are using supiruor military might and coordination in forging a new nation. Very paranoid and ruthless. they are backed by unknown corps and governments.<br/><br/>India; A nation struggling to come into the 21st century. Ruled by a Emperor, India is allied with England and has annexed Bangladesh and rules Pakistan and Afghanistan.<br/><br/>Central Asia; mostly backwards and rual, there are pockets of modern society.<br/><br/>Asia:  Several powerful natiosn and rivilries.<br/><br/>China; Ruled by al Emperor again. A general staged a coup and declared himself Emperor. He is forging China into a true world power and China is now concidered a superpower with the US, EU and Japan. Currently there is a growing tension between Japan and China over resources and influence. It's being watcher very carefully.<br/><br/>Japan; high tech society. Heavily involved in the world, corporatewise, and it very heavily invested in space.<br/><br/>Korea, one nation again, it is a business rival with Japan andChina, has close ties with the Philipine government, Austrailia and the US.  Quite modern and quiet.<br/><br/>Philipines; a second world nation. Slowly becoming modern. It has probpems with religious (Muslim) seperatists, but those are becoming a bit less problematic.<br/><br/>SE Asia; still waring and problem riddled. Mymar(Burma) has thrown otu the military junta that has ruled it for over 50 years and now has a civilian givernment. Allied with China, India and several other nations. Cambodia, Laos are minor nations. Heavily influanced by their neighbors.<br/><br/>Vietman; very modern and  a source of cheap good tech. Lots of work for independents.<br/><br/>Indonesia; ruled by a religious sect of Islam (Sakkri(sp)) it is fairly open minded, but isgrowing more rigid.<br/><br/>Malasia; nearly as it is todya. Watching IOndoneasia very warily.<br/><br/>Austrailia; divided into two nation. Both fairly strong ecomonically and a decent military. The eastern nation is the stronger and it's ecominy is booming wiht the space trade and ports that are in it.<br/><br/>South America; riven by wars, Brazil hoilds most of the continent in it's hand. There is active fighting in Columbia, Venezuala, Peru, Ecuador. Opposed by the CAF, US and backed by the EU and China<br/><br/>Argentina is one of the few nations not ruled by Brazil. It's interest is located on the Antartic continent.<br/><br/>Antaritca; owned by a collevtive, it's home to  a group of Argentinan refugees that have genetically modified themselves to better suit the harsh enviroment. They have a purple look to their skin. Currently in a cold war with Argentina.<br/><br/>Central America: Most of it is a loose nation called the Central American Federation. Fairly effective if it can stop fighting themselves long enough to do something. Currently in a war with Brazil.<br/><br/>Mexico; Has lost all of the northern half of the nation to the US and Texas and the Yucatan penninsula to the newly formed Mayan Kingdoms. It's a bitter nation, but is slowly coming to realize that it has to exist as it is. They are using their resources well for the first time and looking into space and at Central America to regain their national pride.<br/><br/>North America:<br/><br/>Canada; broken. Quebec is its own nation and the Maratime Providences are now a part of the USA. The providences west of Quebec are Canada now.<br/><br/>United States; is united again. It has thrown off most of it's previous troubles and has expanded to become the most powerful nation in the world. Economically, militarily and technolocally, it's the world leader if within the top 5 placing.  The Free states are united with the US again. There are plenty of oppurtunaries for independents to work though.<br/>Corporations have to be more wary, as they cannot use the open military might they have to do things and must obey the laws. So things are more subdued.<br/><br/>Space: many nations have space stations and the nearest planets are being colonized by the US, EU, Russia, China, Japan and England. The corporate presense is being felt by the numerous stations and outposts going up all over the place.<br/><br/>Mercury; mining stations by Russia and the UN.<br/>Venus; mined by Russia, UN and Japan. It's being concidered for terreforming<br/>Luna, the Moon; has many colonies on it. Mining and scientific.<br/>Earth Orbit; several hundreds of stations and thousands of satilites dot the skies.<br/>Mars; Colonized by the EU/Russia, the US/Japan and several corporations.<br/>Asteroid Belt; mining colonies. Mostly by the US, and a few from Japan and EU.<br/>Jupiter; mining/scientific. US, China, EU, corp<br/>Saturn; same as Jupiter.<br/>Neptune;  several scientific outposts.<br/>Uranus; same as Neptune.<br/>Pluto; nothing<br/><br/>"

Couple that with small enhancments, and Michelle is now a vision of half-Chinese beauty. She keeps herself in obivously good physical condition, nicely toned, but not bulky at all.<br/>She has a fine face, slightly round but very pretty, with full lips, high cheeks and gorgeous, dark eyes. She wears her black hair long, though styles vary with what Michelle is doing at the time.<br/>Michelle has an ample bosom, large, and sculpted to perfect firmness now. Her waist is narrow, again, subtly enhanced to be a little more narrow than a woman could hope for naturally, and her hips flare out perfectly. Michelle's behind is also just as good as the rest of her, small, but very tight and round.<br/>Her legs seem very long, possibly another subtle effect of an expert sculpt job, and perfectly smooth and elegant.<br/>It should be noted that Michelle's hair and skin always look perfect, and clean up very quick all on their own. The advantage of nanite groomers. These groomers also negate the need for her to worry about unsightly hair, keeping her exquiste skin utterly hairless below her eyebrows.<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'4""<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>122lbs<br/><strong>Hair:</strong>Raven-black<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Dark brown<br/><strong>Measurements:</strong>35C-23-33<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Background</strong></span><br/>Michelle grew up in the Night City Mallplex, a real typical mallplex brat until her father was killed when she was 9. He was a casualty of just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, wasted by a stray bullet, like so many other bystanders in Night City.<br/>Shortly after, Michelle and her mother moved to Chinatown with Michelle's grandparents, where Michelle soon fell in to a dojo, finding she really enjoyed the discipline of a real martial art. She continues to study at her old school, knowing her old sifu still has much to teach her.<br/>Sometime around her 15th year, Michelle had a boyfriend in a go-gang, eventually joining herself. Like many thing, Michelle had a raw talent for handling a bike at high-speeds, often outdoing the guys in the gang. She would likely still be involved with them, but they no longer exist, all but wiped out after a few weeks of fighting with a gang of proper boosters. The few remaining members of Michelle's gang, Michelle included, disbanded as their only chance of stopping the gang-war was to hang up their colours.<br/>This is what brought Michelle to where she is now. After about a year doing small, street level enforcement jobs or bodyguarding for a fixer during a deal, Michelle got the idea to get off the street by signing up with a professional bodyguard service. Little did she know about all the extras in her contract, like that she was also now a prostitute. Not a big worry for her, really, but here she is now, suddenly pink-slipped..."

The decor is tastefully dark panneling, large glass windoiws, lots of plants and subdued lighting. It caters to middle/high class with well paying individuals mixed in. There is a gun check at the door. Concealed weapons licences are allowed. The managment just wants to know who's carrying what. The food selection is good and swiftly delivered.

Usually the size of a iPod of today or larger, they have either a manual keyboard or a magnetic touch keyboard. The magnetic one saves space, but it much more power intensive. Some are usable by those people who have dataplugs, but not all have that option for security reasons.<br/><br/>The memory of computers is phenominal. Able to hold a incredible amount of information, the programs used also use up a massive amopunt of space. With AI's being the most massive.  A netrunner has the latest soft/hardware and is constantly upgrading it. This leads to older programs and hardware being sold off for a cheap price. Still good after 2-3 years, but concidered obsolete in many ways.<br/><br/>Nanites are used to make computer circuitry, but it is not used to make computers that fit into tiny spaces. Like a postage stamp. The main problem is heat. The faster and more powerful a computer is, the more heat it produces. Which leads to hardware degredation and breakdowns. So the computers are kept above a certain size for cooling purposes. This allows for add-ons to be plugged into the comp.<br/><br/><strong>The Net: </strong>The Net is world wide and ranges far off-planet. It allows for hundreds of millions of people to contact eachother day and night. Uncounted trillions of bytes of information are sent over the Net ever hour. The Net is not as pervasive as one would think though. It impacts many aspects of life, but it is not everwhere. Net use if forbidden by vehical drivers, people using machinery outside of a officeplace, in general businesslife and many homes. It's main impact is in the form of entertainment. The phone/TV/computers are intertwined and they literally can set the world at a person's feet. 99.972% of all homes and businesses in the US, Japan, EU, NCEU, Austraila and space is hooked up to the Net. Used mainly for entertainment.<br/><br/>Businesses use the Net to send/recieve information, conduct meetings, keep an eye on the employees and many other things. The main way onto the Net is by use of NetGlasses(tm), a interface plug, inducer plug or VR Booth. These allow the ujser to enter the Net. There is a safety chip in the gear that prevents any Net attacks froim harming the users. The feature automatically cut the user out  if any attack occures.<br/>Netrunners have this feature diabled or removed from their cyberdecks. Doing that allows for quicker reaction speed and allows them to be the true Masters/mistresses of the Net.<br/><br/>AIs are always online and concidered very dangerous, for their programming allows for defenses that can take and hold a 'runner online and trace her call to the source. Arrests usually follows with the 'runner's cyberdeck being drained of all information.<br/><br/>Note: Unless there is a reason, a computer will not be on the Net. Most companies have a company Netsite on another computer. This prevents Netrunners from successfully raiding the company's databases. Unless the 'runner actually goes into the mainframe to get the informatrion herself."

You can also use this skill to determine when “something is up” (that is, something odd is going on) or to assess someone’s trustworthiness.<br/>Task   Sense Motive DC<br/>Hunch   20<br/>Sense enchantment   25 or 15<br/>Discern secret message   Varies<br/><br/>Hunch: This use of the skill involves making a gut assessment of the social situation. You can get the feeling from another’s behavior that something is wrong, such as when you’re talking to an impostor. Alternatively, you can get the feeling that someone is trustworthy.<br/><br/>Sense Enchantment: You can tell that someone’s behavior is being influenced by an enchantment effect (by definition, a mind-affecting effect), even if that person isn’t aware of it. The usual DC is 25, but if the target is dominated (see dominate person), the DC is only 15 because of the limited range of the target’s activities.<br/><br/>Discern Secret Message: You may use Sense Motive to detect that a hidden message is being transmitted via the Bluff skill. In this case, your Sense Motive check is opposed by the Bluff check of the character transmitting the message. For each piece of information relating to the message that you are missing, you take a –2 penalty on your Sense Motive check. If you succeed by 4 or less, you know that something hidden is being communicated, but you can’t learn anything specific about its content. If you beat the DC by 5 or more, you intercept and understand the message. If you fail by 4 or less, you don’t detect any hidden communication. If you fail by 5 or more, you infer some false information.<br/><br/>Action: Trying to gain information with Sense Motive generally takes at least 1 minute, and you could spend a whole evening trying to get a sense of the people around you.<br/><br/>Try Again: No, though you may make a Sense Motive check for each Bluff check made against you.<br/><br/>Special: A ranger gains a bonus on Sense Motive checks when using this skill against a favored enemy.<br/><br/>If you have the Negotiator feat, you get a +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks.<br/><br/>Synergy: If you have 5 or more ranks in Sense Motive, you get a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>As I tried to point out, sense motive does NOT give you the ability to read ones mind, especially not that clearly, it was an accident, but in future you will not be using that modifer to read other peoples thoughts.<br/><br/>Neither does you detect evil work on her, as she is a good aligned person. I know i worded it bad, but I was basically trrying to state there was no physical way you coulda detected her thopughts without a spell in a domain i havnt read, and even then her will save is sufficiently high enough to fend it off with a low roll on a dice)"

Never seen a gnoll before?"" he asked as he stepped closer to bring her within easy reach, ""I am called Harker... heh heh.  Now girl... heh heh... I hear stories about your villiage... heh... about your tributes...  heh heh... I came to see for myself.""<br/><br/>""No, I've never seen...""  Her voice trailed off as she realized how powerful this creature was.  He was two feet taller than her.  ""A gnoll.  But I must gather this wood and taken it back to my family.  I have a mother, aunt and two sisters, and we have to keep warm.  But nice to meet you, Harker.""<br/><br/>He laughed again.  ""No girl... heh heh...  Not nice for you...""<br/><br/>Harker grinned, showing his full muzzle's worth of yellow teeth.  Teeth made to rend flesh and crush bone.<br/><br/>""Harker will let you take your wood home... heh heh... After I am done with you girl...""<br/><br/>He reached down, rubbing at the ragged trousers that concealed his large shaft, which was already begining to rise at the prospect of taking her.<br/><br/>Shylee stared in horror at the sight of the gnoll...she could see him...hardening.  While the girl didn't know all about the birds and the bees, as it were, she had heard stories.  Whsipers, most of them fearful, from older girls.  Conversations among grown women that suddenly stopped when she entered the room, or subjects changed.  ""What...what do you want,"" she asked, though she knew already it had something to do with that bulge in his trousers he was rubbing.<br/><br/>Harker gave another disconcerting high-pitched laugh as he watched her face.  The mixture of confusion and growing fear in her expression pleased him.<br/><br/>""What I want is you my little pretty..."" he informed her as he reached out to run one paw through her long hair, ""And I'll have you.  Try to run or fight and I'll hurt you...  You're just a weak little human, all alone out here.""  He licked his jagged teeth and laughed again.  ""I like the taste of humanflesh girl, but luckily that's not the hunger I'm interested in.  Now if you're a very good little toy, I'll even let you keep your cart and donkey there.""<br/><br/>Shylee's eyes were wide as any doubt in her mind about what the gnoll wanted from her was savagely dispelled.  ""Yes...yes, I know I'm all alone,"" she said.  ""And your kind are much...stronger than humans.  Please don't hurt me,"" she said, a tear coming to her eye as she looked vainly around the clearing for some sign of help, anyone or anything that might help her to escape this.  But there was nothing.  Nothing except the donkey who was obviously uneasy at the presence of the gnoll but not ready to bolt, the cart half-full of wood, her--and Harker.<br/><br/>""What do you want me to do,"" she asked meekly.<br/><br/>Harker grinned, which wasn't really a friendly sight as it let more of his teeth show.<br/><br/>""Harker will be generious,"" he said as he laughed again, ""You can take those clothes off and set them over with your wood.""  He chuckled and moved from stroking his errection to pulling a long knife from his belt.  His hand in her hair caught and held her firmly in place as he held the blade up for her to look at.<br/><br/>""Or I can cut them off you with this,"" he said in a low growl.<br/><br/>Shylee cringed at the sight of both the mouthful of teeth and the blade.  ""I'll...I'll take them off,"" she said, and then proceeded to do just that.  Still looking around the clearing for any help.  Seeing hope fade like the last of the sun's light from the tops of the trees.  First came the shirt.  Shylee was a little better developed than most girls of her age, clearly a woman though young.  Then her trousers...leaving her in undergarments.  With just a small hesitation, she bared her breasts...ample, young, yet firm.  She looked up toward his hand in her hair, then to his eyes, hoping he would have mercy.<br/><br/>He watched her as she revealed herself, enjoying the small pauses and hesitations.  When she looked up, his eyes were hard, predator's eyes full of lust and hunger.  Both his errection and his expression showed that he liked what he saw as her clothes came away.<br/><br/>He reached forward, letting the chill flat of his knife slide very slowly along her chest, tracing the valley between her firm breasts with the tip of it.<br/><br/>""You a virgin girl?"" he asked as his knife's tip began to ease down her belly to rest eventually at her hip and the last of her underclothes.<br/><br/>Shylee shuddered as the knife went down her front.  Harker noticed that as the knife went down, the girl opened her legs, a little at a time, but her feet scooted apart.  This would make it difficult to slide off her undergarments...though the gnoll could tell (or at least no doubt suspected) she wasn't consciously trying to block him.<br/><br/>At the question of her virginity, she nodded.  ""Y-yes.  Like my sister.""<br/><br/>Harker grinned at her answer, not only that she was untouched, but at the mention of her sister.  Perhaps after he'd enjoyed making a woman of this one he'd have to ask more about the sister.<br/><br/>He runs his hand down, releasing her hair and stroking her back, letting the rough skin of his paw and the tips of his claws lightly rack over her soft unblemished flesh.<br/><br/>""Hold still,"" he ordered as he eased his knife under waist of her panties.  Then he pulled, slicing the fabric so the the remains would fall down along her other leg.<br/><br/>Shylee complied as the knife went through her undergarments, leaving the human girl totally naked.  She shuddered as that pawed hand went down her back...but her legs continued to move apart as the fabric fell to the ground.  She shivered a bit.  Still looking around.  The thought occurred to her that gnolls had a canine element in them, and dogs often went in packs.  She hoped not.<br/><br/>Harker let out another laugh as he looked over his prize in her full naked state.  His paw reached the small of her back and then cupped one of her ass cheeks.<br/><br/>He returned the knife to his belt and reached to take hold of a pert breast and squeeze it firmly.<br/><br/>Then he tilted his head back and let out a loud laugh-like call.  From the woods, an answering cackle came.<br/><br/>""I'm going to be your first girl,"" he said as he fondled her roughtly, ""But you'll be pleasing all of my pack before you go home...""<br/><br/>Shylee's heart sank...she looked toward the sound where the answering call had come from, realizing that they did indeed have company in the clearing and it was, alas, not friendly.  Shyless flinched when Harker went for her breast, but only slightly, reflexively.  Pack?  ""How...how many of your kind are there,"" she asked, stuttering a bit in fear.  She felt revulsion at the touch of the...thing.  But she knew this was only the beginning...<br/><br/>He grinned at the feeling of her tender skin in his hands.  ""Not many,"" he answered as he leaned down.  His warm breath, smelling of rotting flesh, washed over her.  ""My pack is small, only four others...""<br/><br/>Then he licked her, dragging his tongue up her neck, along her jaw and up the side of her face.<br/><br/>""Only"" four, she thought.  A tear came to her eye.  When the gnoll licked her, she shuddered...she thought about fleeing, or trying to, but saw those teeth.  Trying to run would probably not be a good idea.  Better to stand and face what was to come...Shyless tried to force herself to relax despite the digusting tongue.  She knew she would be here for awhile...<br/><br/>The others entered the clearing slowly, slinking and giggling that maddening hyena laugh.  They circled Shylee and Harker.  One eased close enough to grab Shylee's clothes, his rough fur brushing against her legs as he passed by them.  The others seemed to be securing the nervious donkey and the cart, then settling to watch for the moment.<br/><br/>Harker continued to lick her, tracing her ear before lowering his mouth to take her other breast in his teeth and tease the nipple with his tongue.<br/><br/>Shylee looked fearfully at the band of dog-men...no, there would be no escape now, she realized.  Her clothes were removed, and she was afraid they would take her donkey and cart, too.  ""Please...please don't take those,"" the girl said plaintively.  ""My mother and aunt would...ahhhh...""  The tongue reached her nipple, and she was revolted, and...something else.  She didn't know what...like a tickle and tingle.  She moved a little toward the cart.  She felt her wet skin drying in the cool air of evening where the gnoll had licked her.<br/><br/>Harker growled as she moved.  Reaching out, he took hold of her hair and pulled her back towards him.  The hard length of his errection jabbed at the small of her back as he leaned down to rest his muzzle against her neck, his long tongue rolling out to tease her other nipple as his rough fingers pinched the still damp one.<br/><br/>At the poke of the gnoll's manhood, Shylee froze.  She knew what it was, knew too well.  Then she became aware the gnoll was grolwing at her...she looked at the others, hoping they wouldn't hurt or make off with her donkey or cart.  ""Owww, stop that,"" she said as the gnoll pinched her nipple...she winced a bit.  Her hand started toward his arm, to try and pull it away.  But she stopped herself.  It would only make him made, she knew.<br/><br/>And what Shylee did not realize is her ankles were now about two feet apart as she subconsciously opened up her legs, showing her short thatch of hair there.<br/><br/>Other than making sure the donkey was tied so it couldn't bolt, the other four seemed much too interested in watching Shylee's deflowerment.  They laughed and made comments in their harsh barking language<br/><br/>Then Harker chuckled and closed his fingers to pinch her nipple hard, adding a sharp twist as well.  His other hand dropped to cup her sex, stroking the patch of fine hairs there as his tongue continued to roam her chest, neck, and face.<br/><br/>Shylee cried out...a little loud...now things were going from gross to painful.  She realized her crying out probably made the brute happy...a sharp pain shot from her nipple into her breast as the gnoll cruelly twisted her nipple.  Shyless bucked back...which only gave two of the other gnolls a better view of her breasts.  And, though she protested the nipple-twist and pulled back, Harker felt her thighs obediently part as he clawed hand roamed between them, feeling her short bush there.<br/><br/>Harker laughed again at her squeal.  As her thighs parted, his began to stroke her lips with the tip of one clawed finger.<br/><br/>""Tell me my pretty,"" he whispered in her ear, his warm breath flowing over her cheek, ""Do you want to be fucked on your knees like a bitch or on your back like a whore?""<br/><br/>His probing finger traced the the center of her sex, slowly beginning to part her folds and stroke the tender pink warmth of her womanhood.<br/><br/>""I...I""  Shylee didn't know how to answer that question.  Her nipple still hurt from the gnoll's cruel twisting.  But she thought she would be more comfortable--or in less pain..if she laid down.  So, she began to sit down, easing herself onto her back.  She was now looking up at the gnolls, who seemed to tower over her.  Behind them was the darkening sky of dusk.  Harker in particular seemed to dominate her.<br/><br/>The others crept closer, most on all fours sniffing and laughing but staying just back from her.<br/><br/>Harker licked his lips with that long dexterious tongue as he unfastened the belts and bandoliers that he wore to hold his weapons.  Then he tossed aside his battered leathers and finally his worn trousers, giving her the first actual sight of the shaft that had been digging into her back before.<br/><br/>He stroked it slowly and watched her closely, ready to have his pack hold her down if she tried to bolt.<br/><br/>Shylee gasped when she saw that huge shaft...bigger than that of any of the village boys.  ""It's...it's huge,"" the human girl said.  ""Why is it bigger than boys or young men's things?""  She looked around and for a moment Harker thought she might just try and bolt.  But she didn't, reamining still on the ground.  Now her legs were apart, and she looked around at the other gnolls, shivering a bit.<br/><br/>Harker laughed and knelt between her legs, letting his shaft hang above her belly.  ""Why?"" he chuckled, ""Because human men have small weak cocks to match the rest of them.""<br/><br/>Grinning and cocking his head to the side, he reached forward and took her wrist, lifting her hand to his shaft.  ""Go on,"" he said, ""It won't bite you...""<br/><br/>Shylee felt downcast...she knew the gnoll was right.  She had heard whispers of how the humans in the town were being overpowered...just like this...by the more brutish, stronger races in the forest around.  And now...it had come to her.  She allowed her hand to be guided to the shaft.  She began rubbing, vigorously, knowing that she had to please this creature, whose kind were now effectively in control...<br/><br/>"

growled as he pulled her head forward.<br/><br/>One of the others knelt behind her, his furred chest rubbing against her back and his own throbbing cock, already freed from his clothes, nuzzling at her ass cheeks as he reached around to grab her breasts roughtly, squeezing them and pinching at her nipples as he licked her neck.<br/><br/>Shylee took more of the gnoll-cock into her mouth.  She was obviously pleasing the gnoll, which was good.  But she noticed one of his companions was moving in behind her.  She did not like the idea of a second beast taking her, but she doubted they would take no for an answer.  So when the second gnoll's intentions became clear, Shylee nodded, opening up her legs to allow the second gnoll to mount her.  Even as she tried to ignore the taste of gnollcock...<br/><br/>They lifted Shylee and sat her in the scoend gnoll's lap.  His cock now rubbed against her sex, feeling far too large to fit inside her.  But at the same time, Harker was gripping her hair and drawing her lips further and further down his shaft, rocking his hips back and forth as he began to fuck her mouth.<br/><br/>Shylee felt terrified...these gnolls were huge.  Shyless tried to lick up and down the gnoll's shaft, pleasuring him at times with her throat, breathing through her nose hastily.  All she could see was his unnatural stomach.  When she felt the gnoll-cock at her pussy, she forced herself to back into it, giving a muffled scream as it passed her woman-lips.  She looked up at the leader to see if he was pleased...<br/><br/>Harker groaned in pleasure as her scream vibrated along his cock.  ""OH yes,"" he murmured as he began to assault her mouth all the more, even forcing his cockhead into her throat.<br/><br/>The gnoll behind her grabbed at her hips now, and began to thrust forward falling immedately to giving the poor girl a hard and brutal fucking.<br/><br/>Shylee willingly let the gnoll take her throat...there was no other way for her to accept that hugeness.  Tears welled in her eyes as the gnoll behind her began to rape her in earnest...still, she forced herself to pleasure him, too...feeling that deep penetration, the blood now flowing as her maidenhood was lost.  And there were two more...plus however many more were in the forest...she was theirs now, she knew.<br/><br/>Harker took her throat slowly, easing his cock in deeply and then drawing it back to allow her to catch a quick breath between strokes.  By contrast, the one behind her was pounding away, cackling with glee as his cockhead found the innermost limits of Shylee's womb and battered relentlessly against her.<br/><br/>His claws gripped at her hips, drawing blood as he held her tight and drove in deeply as he began to flood her with his warm and sticky cum.<br/><br/>Shylee's cries were muffled by the gnollflesh in her mouth...at least Harker was merciful enough to let her breathe.  She felt like her insides were being battered...was this what sex was supposed to be like, she wondered?  She barely even felt the claws draw blood...between Harker stuffing her face and his companion behind her--<br/><br/>Then she felt wet inside...the gnoll had climaxed.  She wondered with a sinking feeling if the beast was able to impregnate her.  He pounded her a couple more times.<br/><br/>Harker let out a low rumble that seemed to be a pleased sound as Shylee's muffled cries made his cock quiver.  Then he pulled back, letting his shaft pull out of her mouth.  The other gnoll pulled out and shuffled over and sprawl contentedly and begin to clean himself like a dog.<br/><br/>The other two edged closer, both naked and holding large and ready cocks.<br/><br/>""Your our bitch now human,"" Harker said with a chuckle, ""No weak little human will be able to please you now...  Now kneel and get to work pleasing your other two masters.  Then Harker will enjoy your last hole...""<br/><br/>Shylee shrank back a bit from the two other gnolls...but she knew there was nowhere for her to hide, nowhere to run.  They would just catch her...be even more brutal.  The gnoll's cum dripped onto her chin, she could feel it inside her too.  In her throbbing insides.  The wanted to wash it out but she couldn't.<br/><br/>Obediently, the human girl--now a young woman--dropped to her knees, legs and thighs apart for the other two beasts and their thick hard-ons.  At least after this it would be over, she thought.  There were tears in her eyes, welling up.<br/><br/>The beasts closed in, chuckling and moving to let their thick cocks hang in front of Shylee's face.  ""Stroke them and suck them,"" Harker ordered as he ran his fingers along his damp shaft, working it slowly back to hardness.  Watching his packmates coat the girl with their seed would be enough rest for him to be ready for what he had planned for the girl.<br/><br/>Shylee said, ""yes,"" in a low, subdued voice, while nodding.  These beasts were huge as a species, she saw, about half again as large as a human male.  She had seen boys stroking themselves down at the creek...these creatures were so much larger.  She understood now what the gnoll meant about weak humans...these beasts were so much stronger.  And orcs were stronger still...she knew they lived in the area.  And ogres...<br/><br/>She reached out her hands, and each one took one of those unnatural cocks, stroking them fast, thumbs going under the tips.  She wondered what Harker was up to...she couldn't see him.  She wondered if he was scouting for more of his pack-mates to breed her...<br/><br/>Harker watched her for a few moments and then moved up behind Shylee.  He took hold of her hair and pulled her head back, leaning over to lick her face.  The position also forced her to arch her back, giving them a nice view of her breasts as they bobbed.<br/><br/>""Don't stop,"" Harker ordered between licks, his tongue and muzzle roaming down to her breasts and back to her face in time for his packmates to reach their climax and spray their hot cum across her naked body.<br/><br/>Head tilted back, Shylee's face was perfectly angled to receive the gnoll-cum...she sputtered and shook her head impotently as spurt after spurt from the two cocks hit her in the hair, right eye, cheek, then her chin and exposed breasts.  ""Ugggh,"" she said in disgust, still on her knees...but she kept rubbing the cocks until they were done, still dripping seed.  She turned her head, feeling wet all over between Harker's licks and the spraying of seed everywhere, trying to shake it off, looking from beast to beast, burning with humiliation at how she must look.<br/><br/>""Am I...done..."" she asked slowly.<br/><br/>Even as the two gnolls that had coated her eased back and settled contentedly to the ground, Harker just grinned as he stroked his shaft.<br/><br/>""You've got a virgin hole left,"" Harker answered as he reached down to stroke a clawed finger between her ass cheeks and tease her tiny bud.  If his gnollcock forced its way into that opening at all, it would tear her horribly.<br/><br/>""Of course,"" he said as he continued to toy with her, working the clawtip inside her puckered spincter, ""You also have a virgin sister...""<br/><br/>Shylee didn't make the connection right away.  ""Virgin...hole..."" she said.  Then she realized.  ""No, not there, you can't.""  She looked at Harker, horrified.<br/><br/>""Sister?""  Shylee was still wiping the seed from her face...really all she was doing was spreading it around.  ""Yes...my sister.  Our cousin lives with us, my mother takes care of us all.""  She twitched as his claws poked around that last hole.  She didn't understand...she thought the gnolls were finished, she had done her part, enabled them to pleasure themselves...<br/><br/>Harker laughed as he watched her try to clean herself.  His claw continued to tease her anus as he reached to stroke her open sex with his other hand.<br/><br/>""I'm going to fuck you again girl,"" he told her firmly, ""But if you agree to bring your sister to help gather firewood tomorrow, I'll spare your tight virgin ass.""<br/><br/>""No,"" Shylee moaned in protest, ""not again.  I'm sore.  And my...my sister?""  She looked incredulous.  ""You want...to do the same thing to her?  Please, no, leave us alone, you've had your time...""  The girl began to try and pull away.<br/><br/>Harker growled and shifted his grip to try and wrap his arm around her waist to prevent her from getting away from him.<br/><br/>""We have your scent,"" he hissed, ""We could come tonight and take her... heh heh... take her and eat the rest.  I've learned to like the taste of human flesh...  heh heh.""<br/><br/>Pulling the squirming girl against his chest, he lets his long tounge roll out to lick her ear.  ""So which will it be girly?  Your sister or your ass?""<br/><br/>Shylee looked down submissively...she knew she was beaten.  ""You...you can come tonight,"" she said.  ""Okay?  She and I...we sleep in the same room.""<br/><br/>Harker let her go and laughed in that unnerving hyena way.  And soon, his pack joined in, all of them cackling at the poor cum-coated girl laying in their midst.<br/><br/>""I'll come tonight,"" Harker promised her as he stroked his long cock, ""You'll both be ready for me.  Harker's going to have two little human toys.""<br/><br/>Then he waved his packmates away from her cart, leaving the way free for her to leave."

sniffing as he followed the scent gave away that he was there.<br/><br/>Shylee had gone home, washing herself, trying to forget what had happened.  But as sundown approached, her mind went back to the encounter.  She was still sore.<br/><br/>Her sister Rachel shared the room with her...she had noticed that Shylee was preoccupied with something, but the older girl kept her secret well.  She simply did not know how to prepare her sibling for what was to come.<br/><br/>So as the lanterns were blown out, Shylee lay in her nightgown.  Rachel wore only her smallclothes, which covered her modest but just beginning to bud figure.  She left the window open, which puzzled Rachel a bit.<br/><br/>""Go to sleep,"" Shylee told her younger sister.  She could not take her own advice...<br/><br/>He was amazed to find the town truely as undefended as he'd heard.  He encounter no watch or patrol as he entered the outskirts of town.  In fact, once he was sure of his destination, he began to simply stride towards the farmstead's house, sniffing as he began to circle.<br/><br/>Then he spied the open window and moved towards it, sniffing deeply, smelling the scent of his human bitch and another female.  He laughed that horrid laugh and walked up to peer inside.<br/><br/>Shylee heard the gnoll at her window...she was laying in bed.  She got up, went to Harker.  She was naked under the nightgown, which hung open in front, revealing her breasts.  Rachel was sound asleep.  Shylee held out a hand to help Harker climb into the girls' bedroom through the open window.<br/><br/>Harker smiled at the sight of her, rolling his tongue and taking her hand to climb in the window.<br/><br/>As soon as he was inside, he reached out to cup one of her breasts, rubbing the nipple with his rough thumb as he leaned close and licked her neck.<br/><br/>""Heh heh... you're going to make a good bitch for Harker,"" he said softly, ""You and your sister both...""<br/><br/>He let his yellow eyes move to the sleeping girl and chuckled at the sight of her so unaware and peaceful.<br/><br/>Shylee made no effort to stop the beast as her reached for her nipple...what could she do, with his pack no doubt outside.  Her mother down the hall would be no match for the gnolls either.  She wondered how long it would be before the gnolls would want her too...before they just openly came in and out the front door...taking who or what they wanted.  She shuddered at the thought...even as she let her nightgown fall to the wooden bedroom floor.<br/><br/>Harker continued to rub her nipple, teasing it now with his nail as his other hand cupped her sex and he pressed his thumb into her sore folds.<br/><br/>The buldge in his trousers brushed her thigh as the gnoll held her close and fondled her tender body for several minutes.<br/><br/>Then he slowly released her and began to shrug off his clothes.<br/><br/>""Go and wake her,"" he said with a wicked gleam in his eyes, ""Hold her and keep her quiet.""<br/><br/>Though the stimulation was a bit painful given what Shyless had endured, she made no move to resist, even leaning back a bit as the gnoll fondled her.  After a moment, she reached back, and undid the buckle to the beast's trousers.  She knew what would come next...<br/><br/>She went to Rachel's bed.  Carefully she removed her sister's bra...small but round breasts were revealed.  Then, Shylee slowly lowered her sister's panties.  Harker could see her snatch.  The girl continued to sleep.  Shyless looked at Harker...then glanced out the window to see how much ""company"" her young sister would have to endure.<br/><br/>Rachel's eyes flew open, and she let out a screech.  Shylee said, ""Shh...quiet...shh..."" and Rachel looked wide-eyed at the gnoll.<br/><br/>""Who...what?"" the young girl said.  She looked down, saw the gnollcock...her hands flew to her mouth.  ""It's...it's like the other girls in the town talk about,"" she said.  ""Isn't it?""  She looked at Harker as Shylee nodded slightly.<br/><br/>Harker was drolling at the sight of them both, so tender and vulnerable.  He didn't miss Shylee's glance and as he moved closer he licked his lips.<br/><br/>""Keep her quiet and the pack will stay outside,"" he promised as he knelt on the foot of the girl's bed and reached up to trace her virgin cunny.<br/><br/>Then he moved closer, beginning to position himself and letting his cock brush against Rachel's belly.<br/><br/>Rachel let out a low scream as the gnoll savagely thrust into her, bursting her maidenhood, taking her with a brutal push.  The girl felt like a rag doll...her bed creaked as the beast rode her.  Shyless got onto the bed, sitting behind her sister.  ""Hurts...so big..."" the girl cried out.  ""Please stop...stop...pull it out...""<br/><br/>""I...I can't"" Shylee said.  The bed rocked slightly as Rachel looked up at her sister.  ""He...he has a pack.  Gnolls go in packs.""<br/><br/>""Get...mother..."" Rachel said.  ""She...can--""<br/><br/>""do nothing,"" Shylee said.  ""She'll be next...""<br/><br/>Harker's yellow eyes were nearly glowing with pleasure as he gazed upon his toys.<br/><br/>""If you wake her,"" he growled as he drove himself deeper and deeper, reaching the limits of her sex and bucking his cockhead against her womb itself, ""I'll give her to my pack tonight.""<br/><br/>As he battered her innermost places, his paws moved to grip and handle her breasts roughly, pinching and twisting her tender little nipples sharply to force her to cry out.<br/><br/>He watched Shylee, waiting to see how she would muffle her sister's cries.<br/><br/>Shylee heard her sister cry out as Harker twisted her nipples...she winced a little seeing it, but knew there was nothing she could do.  The beast would have his pleasure.  Whether Mother was wakened tonight or not, she knew Harker would not stop until she, too, was bred by him.  It seemed the gnoll's manhood was without limit in how much seed it could make.  Rachel cried out again as the gnoll thrust...and again...<br/><br/>Rachel's legs began to twitch as the gnoll thrust mercilessly, taking his cruel pleasure...Rachel's cries echoed through the room, desperate as the girl looked vainly to her sister.  ""I...I can't help you,"" Shylee said.<br/><br/>Harker grunted, driving faster as he felt his climax nearing.<br/><br/>He gripped Racel's breasts hard now, digging his claws into the base of each rounded mound until a few droplets of blood appeared.<br/><br/>Then with a great howl, he began to surge, filling the poor girl to overflowing with his seed.  And as he came to a rest, he pulled forth and yanked Shylee forward, roughly pushing her face towards his dripping gnollcock.<br/><br/>""Clean it,"" he demanded.  His other hand found Rachel's hair and stroked it.  ""You can rest.."" he murmured.<br/><br/>Rachel was sobbing...virgin blood spotted the sheet between her legs, as well as drops from where the gnoll had used her...legs still spread apart.  ""It's okay,"" Shylee tried to reassure her.  ""You did well.  That's the worst.""  The girl kept sobbing.  As Harker pulled her toward his cock, she nodded, grimacing a bit, but taking the gnollflesh into her mouth, licking it.<br/><br/>There was a noise outside in the house.  ""Mother's awake,"" Rachel sobbed as her sister finished with the gnoll's manhood.  Shylee looked toward the bedroom door.<br/><br/>Harker moved to sit on the bed and licked his muzzle.<br/><br/>""Harker plans to keep you both,"" he said to them as he gathered the girls and pulled them into an embrace on either side of him, ""Only for Harker.  You are mine now.  But Harker's pack hungers for human as well.""<br/><br/>More sniffing could be heard outside.  Another gnoll's face appeared in the window.<br/><br/>""She will be bitch to the rest of the pack.""<br/><br/>Shylee nodded.  ""Mother will understand.  She told us...this...this happens on other farms too.""  She tried to clean the gnoll-grime and her sister's blood from her lips.  ""Please don't beat her.  Tell your pack she is a good woman...she is not a fighter, she's very peaceful.  Mother will...mate with you, cook, sew for you.""  Shyless was trembling...Rachel kept sobbing.<br/><br/>The door opened.  A woman stood in it...she looked around thirty.  She wore a gown.  She had a large, matronly chest...good hips, a few extra pounds, but only a handful.  She looked at the gnolls climbing in...at Harker...then at her daughters.  ""Oh...gods..."" she said, mouth open.<br/><br/>""Mother,"" Shyless said, ""there's a pack of them.  I---I had no choice.""<br/><br/>""I know.""  Mother turned to Harker.  ""Are you the leader?""  Her voice was somber, but not hostile or upset.<br/><br/>Harker let his gaze travel shamelessly over the girl's mother.<br/><br/>""Yes... heh heh,"" he answered her as his packmates entered and began to circle her, sniffing and chuckling softly.<br/><br/>""I have claimed these two,"" he told her, ""They are only for Harker.  You shall be for the pack.""<br/><br/><br/>As he gazed, the mother removed her nightgown, showing an abundant figure...rich, full breasts.  ""I understand,"" she said, looking at Shyless reassuringly.  ""You can have my daughters.  There is nothing I can do to stop you.""  She looked uneasily at the pack surrounding her as she finished disrobing.  ""I will be the woman of the house, and you and your pack the menfolk.  I know it is the way now.""  She moved toward the bed.  ""I have a sister, a little older than I am,"" the mother said, ""but still able to breed.  She lives in the second house out near the barn.""<br/><br/>Shylee and Rachel laid in the bed next to Harker.  Rachel's tears were slowing down now.  ""Mother, I told them you would not fight them.""  The mother nodded.<br/><br/>Harker lowered his muzzle and licked Rachel's neck and cheek.  Then he did the same to Shylee.<br/><br/>""Where are your males?"" Harker asked, ""The one that fathered these two?""<br/><br/>The trio of gnolls were touching the mother now as they sniffed at her.  A tongue flicked out to lick one of her breasts.<br/><br/>Mother looked at the gnolls surrounding her.  ""He...he was killed in a raid.  I've raised these two myself.  My sister's husband disappeared one day, so she moved in with us here.""  As the gnoll licked her breast, the mother did not flinch, but merely let her nightgown drop to the floor, revealing her nakedness.  ""That was five years ago.  But I remember...how to be a woman, and my place around men.  Nowadays there are few men, but more of your kind, and orcs, and trolls.  But you all take human women...so you can take me.""<br/><br/>She noticed that Harker was getting hard again.  ""You...you bred both my daughters and...you're stil...""<br/><br/>Harker licked his muzzle and laughed.<br/><br/>""Harker is no weak human,"" he said as he reached down to stroke his long gnollcock, ""Even other gnolls cannot match Harker.""<br/><br/>Without looking away from Mother, Harker pushed Rachel's head towards his growing shaft.<br/><br/>The others were touching Mother boldly now, their hands everywhere as they laughed and pulled at their clothes eagerly.<br/><br/>""Harker's pack will be your males now,"" he said.<br/><br/>Rachel seemed reluctant...Mother spoke up.  ""Honey...you're a...you're a woman now.   That's something men like, so you have to.""<br/><br/>""Okay, Mother,"" Rachel said.<br/><br/>""Please,"" Mother said, ""go easy on her.""  Now she had to turn her attention to the gnolls around her, who were grasping at her and their clothes.  She helped the youngest gnoll out of his clothes.  ""There's three of you but...you'll all get a turn,"" she said.  ""Well, more than one, if you're anything like your...leader.""  She guided a gnoll-hand to each of her breasts, then sat down on the bed.  Her legs were apart about ninety degrees, revealing a mature thicket of hair between them.<br/><br/>The young gnoll yipped and scrambled on top of her, clearly pleased to take her laying on her back just as she was.  One of the other two eased onto the bed and knelt with a knee on either side of the mother's head and began running his hands through her hair as his cock hung bobbing above her face.<br/><br/>As the gnoll mounted her, the mother reached and helped guide his cock between her legs, to the bush there.  She cried out when she was first penetrated, but thereafter just moaned as the gnoll rode her.  ""So what happens...when we...bear your...offspring,"" the mother asked between the gnoll's thrusts.<br/><br/>""You are our females now,"" Harker answered, ""Females raise pups.  This farm..."" he waved his free arm to encompase the area, ""Harker's now.  You belong to Harker's pack.  You serve as females should.  You mend and cook and most of all please males.  When pups come, you raise them... suckle them...""<br/><br/>His fingers closed to squeeze Shylee's breast meaningfully.  Gnoll females had enough teats to feed their litters... but humans had only two.  ""Suckle them on big swollen feats,"" he added joyfully.  After all, just because there would be pups to feed didn't mean he and his pack wouldn't enjoy them still.<br/><br/>Then he shifted his grip to push Shylee down, almost knocking her head against her sister's.  ""You too,"" he snapped, ""Show her how to please.  Show her how you sucked it before...""<br/><br/>The young gnoll had begun rutting vigoriously, yipping as he drove into Beth.  His packmate's noises were softer, but his yellow eyes watched Beth closely and he licked his muzzle as she worked on his cock with her hand and mouth.  The last of them cast an envious glance at Rachel now that her sister had taken her place sucking on Harker's cock.  But he said nothing, just continuing to fondle Beth's full breasts as his mates used her from both ends.<br/><br/>Harker groaned and wrapped Shylee's hair around his fist, using it to guide her head as he began to buck his hips.  He drove his cockhead into her warm tight throat and then began fucking her throat, grunting and pulling Rachel close so he could lavish his long tongue over her pert little breasts.<br/><br/>""Who's Jessica?"" he groweled between licks.<br/><br/>Beth's groans were stifled by the gnollcock in her mouth...this young male on top of her was better endowed than any human male she had ever seen.  The bed creaked as the gnoll on top of her rutted...now it was painful, his size.  She let the gnoll feed her cock, feeling the tip touch her throat.  She felt cold inside...realizing they would probably want more than one turn.  She stole a glance at her daughters.  She began to feel somehow aroused, though she told herself that was not possible.<br/><br/>Shylee just sucked as best she could...the gnoll went down her throat.<br/><br/>Rachel looked mortified at the scene around her...then she realized Harker had asked her a question.  ""Jessica?  She's our...aunt.""  She shuddered as that tongue went over her breast.<br/><br/>The young gnoll's painfull runting didn't last long before he filled Beth with a gush of hot gnoll seed as he threw back his head and howled.<br/><br/>Beth was aware of the odd gnoll's impatience...she squeezed her stretched pussy-walls together to give the young gnoll one last burst of pleasure as he was pulled out.  Then she opened her legs even as the young male splashed her, taking the older one in.  As he began to fuck, she could no longer deny the sensations of pleasure--even as she hated herself for being aroused this way.  She began to buck back a little against the more mature male, even as she vigorously pleasured the gnoll who was deep-throating her.<br/><br/>Shyless was beginning to feel a little faint...her eyes were wide as the gnoll just stuffed himself into her mouth.  She began to push back with her hands, trying to make him pull out.  Rachel squirmed as that tongue invaded her, her thighs wrapping around his head, butt hanging out off the bed.<br/><br/>The two gnolls using Beth made those eerie laughing yips of pleasure as they started to find a single rhythm, working her back and forth between them steadily.  The one in her mouth began to gasp louder and his cock throbbed just before he released, pumping stream after stream of gnoll cum into Beth's mouth.  The other continued to ride Beth, clutching at her thighs as he began to speed up his thrusts once his partner was done.<br/><br/>Harker let Shylee pull back and catch a deep breath, but than he drove back into her throat.  The whole time, he licked his way around and into Rachel's cunt, sinking his tongue deeper inside her than many men's cocks would have fit...<br/><br/>The gnoll sat back, Beth's head still nestled between his thighs.  HIs cock, even soft, was as large as a normal human.  And it was resting in Beth's hair, rubbing against her as the other gnoll rocked her with his powerful thrusts.<br/><br/>Harker moaned into Rachel's sex and his tongue began to flail about inside her as he felt Shylee's contracting throat coaxing him closer and closer to another climax.<br/><br/>Beth laid back, looking up at the gnoll's crotch.  She began to masturbate the gnoll...something she seemed to be good at.  ""Oh...so hard,"" Beth moaned.  The pain of the gnoll's size was mixed with rising pleasure now.  Sweat was forming on her head.  She looked at Harker, could tell he was about to cum.  ""How many...more times..."" she asked, looking at the big gnoll.  Rachel had stopped struggling now under her mother's eye.  She leaned back a little as the gnoll touched something deep inside...<br/><br/><br/>The odd gnoll out didn't wait for him to finish, pushing him aside.  His cock pulled free with a soft noise, and sent a few streams of thick gnoll cum across Beth's belly and thighs.  Then another huge gnoll cock was inside her, driving deeply but not quite so painfully due to the older gnoll's awareness of Beth's smaller size.<br/><br/>Harker, meanwhile, was using Shylee's throat mercilessly, fucking her roughly and only pulling back far enough for her actually grab a breath every several strokes.  His tongue played over her breasts a few more seconds, then he lifted her and buried his muzzle in her crotch using that long flexible tongue to do things to her nearly virgin sex that no human could ever hope to.<br/><br/>Harker paused only long enough to kick the young gnoll that had just finished fucking Beth.  ""Fetch our other female"" he barked, then resumed his wicked use of Rachel's cunt.<br/><br/>Outside, the gnoll rubbed his crotch, being young he wasn't ever all that far from being ready, even having just finished.  He crept up on the small cottage until he could peer into the window.<br/>"

Her place was tucked in behind them, hidden from most angles and hard to spot from the front.<br/><br/>Inside her house was neat and clean.The ceiling was high and clean.  A banked fire burns in the fireplace. Two doors lead to the bedroom and a spare room that had a loom set up in it. The mainroom did duty as a kitchen, living and dining room. All in all, a very pleasant place to live. For a single human woman. Halisstra shook off their hands and strode to the fireplace. Stirring the banked fire to a brighter blaze, she lit the candles and lamps on the walls and hanging from the ceiling with a splint of wood.<br/><br/>Then she wipes at her eyes and dropped the illusion she'd been keeping up for so long. Letting them see her body. Her long brown/red hair in it's thick braid. Her fine boned face was shown off nicely by the pale lightly freckled skin and large brown eyes. Her linen gown was tight to her torso, full at the hips and falling to her feet. Hiding her slim figure. Except for the corset that pushed up her small breasts. She clenched her hands in the apron that covered the front of her skirts.<br/><br/>""What now?"", she asks quietly in the silence.<br/><br/>"

The storyline will assume several things:<br/>1) Those who have died in the books are well and truly dead.<br/>2) Harry and friends will defeat Voldemort. We will not ICly know if he is truly dead, however<br/>3) The majority of 'feature characters' will be dead, retired, or missing in action.<br/><br/>And here's the twist (which will be written up far more beautifully later on:<br/>- During the final battle, something occurred... a major ritual took place, and our heroes weren't able to stop it in time. Nobody, however, knew at first what it did.<br/><br/>1999-2000 School Year -- Attendance is down, but spirits are high. MacGonagall sends a note to the Ministry, indicating that her typical scrying techniques to mark magic-born children doesn't turn up any leads. Assumption is that objects used for such scrying have been broken during the war.<br/>2005-2006 School Year -- Pureblooded families begin to panic, as children born during or after the year of Voldemort's death do not show any of the typical warning signs of capability to use magic. Not a single report of this on the Muggle side of things occurs. Rumors of 'a generation of squibs' abound, although the Ministry attempts to squash such things.<br/>2010-2011 School Year -- The first children born during the year of Voldemort's defeat come to Hogwarts -- only to discover that they are incapable of using magic. Wands do not react. Spells won't even cast. A quick study determines that every child born after the ritual is completely incapable of performing magic. After much deliberation, the choice is made to phase out the current students of Hogwarts, and reevaluate how to teach this new, magicless generation.<br/>2011-2012 School Year -- Ritual Squibs from magic-using lines (as they come to be known) begin private training at home or in small schools, learning the basics: History of Magic, Arithmancy, Potions, and Muggle Studies. Other subjects are based on current Muggle education systems, with the help of Mixed and Muggle-born teachers.<br/>2015-2016 School Year -- Assuming they will have no further students to teach, Hogwarts closes its doors at the end of the school year.<br/>January, 2017 -- The first Ritual Squib 'erupts', experiencing a sudden surge of magic upon their 18th birthday. Although before incapable of performing magic, they suddenly find themselves at an uncontrolled level of power equal to that of a normal 18-year-old wizard or witch, without any training on how to control it. The ritual only held back the ability to use magic -- perhaps in a hope that the resultant chaos of 'eruptions' would spread terror once more.<br/>2017-2018 School Year -- Through the help of Ministry funds, and a desperate need to control these neo-adults' budding abilities, Hogwarts is change. No longer a primary school, it is transformed into Hogwarts University... where children once thought without ability, now adults, can learn to use and rein in their abilities.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>A note: Despite the depth of theme and 'system', this is a freeform game designed to be light-hearted, and fun. While the backdrop may be dark, the hope is that we have a group of students who try to press onward in their lives and seek happiness -- through whatever means they can -- as they grow into their new abilities.<br/><br/>Deeper subjects, such as angst, suicide, rage against the political machine and such all have their place here, but they really shouldn't be a driving force in RP inasmuch as just telling a story of personal growth. Our students may be 18, but let's try to let them still be kids as long as they're able to hold on to that."

However, since I know a far greater portion of the population goes to public institutions, a few clarifications should be made:<br/><br/>1) Due primarily to a gross bit of negligence on the part of the ministry, the choice to turn the house dormitories into partially coed-dorms has been made. Each tower, as well as the Slytherin dungeons, have been gutted. Dorms are still five or six to a room, but now can include either gender. There are no more 'boys and girls' wings.<br/>2) Oddly enough, sex on-campus is frowned upon, but the administrators have figured out that asking such is almost impossible. As such, they've simply stated that being caught in a public place doing anything more than general snogging will result in a heavy loss of class points, and detention. That doesn't seem to have stopped anyone... although people are at least nice enough in most cases to hide.<br/>3) All students are of legal drinking age in England and Scotland. However, considering the dangers of mixing magic with alcohol in a highly charged environment like this school, students are expressly forbid to consume alcohol on campus grounds. See the note on the rule above.<br/>4) The campus is a closed one. All students live on-campus, and typically cannot leave except on specified weekends (Traditionally still called Hogsmeade weekends, although students are allowed to go anywhere their resources can take them, as long as they return by Monday). 'Hogsmeade Weekends' will ICly occur once every three weeks, beginning with the end of classes friday, and ending no later than the curfew bell Monday Morning. Of course, there are still secret means to get off-campus... but the penalty for getting caught is severe.<br/>5) Apperation is still /quite/ impossible on school grounds, and the Fires are very restricted. Only staff can use the Floo network to go outside or inside the school.<br/>6) Curfew is strictly enforced, but considered a joke by most of the students. All students are required to be in at least their house commons by 1 am, and to stay there until 5 am.<br/>7) There is no /formal/ dress code. Robes and the like are encouraged, of course, but only required in-class. Out-of-class attire is considered 'dress casual'. Meaning: No revealing clothing outside the common rooms/dorms, no public nudity, hem-lines no higher than mid-thigh, etc.<br/>8) The paintings, gargoyles, statues and the like are all /horrible/ snitches. Beware."

However, we still are going to have to have a couple -- just to keep things straight and copasetic.<br/><br/>FEATURE CHARACTERS:<br/>Due partly to JKR's stated opinion on sex-related fiction involving her characters, we will not be involving any FCs in this game. Mention may be made of them (as many of the major players are still important to this world), but that's it. No character can be closely related to, descended from, or have had any sort of sexual congress with an FC in the past<br/><br/>MUGGLE ARTIFACTS:<br/>As stated in the character generation thread, Muggle artifacts are going to be a rarity. Anything electronic will refuse to work on-campus -- and there will be no artificing or alteration spells that will counteract that. There's simply too much ambient magic in the area. Purely mechanical devices (meaning no use of electricity at all -- just moving parts) will work just fine.<br/><br/>LINEAGE BYPLAY:<br/>One of the biggest things you'll see in these types of games is /everyone/ wanting to be one of the socially conscious types. It's actually a bit annoying.<br/><br/>Many basic subjects tend to be normal in public opinion, and are held as such here, meaning people who think /otherwise/ are the exception to the rules. Just because it's not /nice/ doesn't make it illegitimate. It would be no more normal, in this GM's opinion, to have every character be Abolitionist in an American Civil War-era game.<br/><br/>PUBLIC OPINION/STATUS:<br/>- Most families believe that purity of blood (Magical families marrying into magical families) is the only way to go.<br/>- Those witches and warlocks who marry Muggles are looked down upon by most other magic users.<br/>- The children of such mixed marriages are often ridiculed, even if behind their back.<br/>- Muggle-born witches and wizards are often treated even worse.<br/>- Terms such as 'Mudblood' and 'Blood Traitor' are relics of an even more bigoted era, and are rarely used in public by respectable persons.<br/>- Most witches and wizards (of any age) consider Muggles to be a lower class of sentient being, more often than not a source of curiosity and entertainment.<br/>- Your average Witch or Wizard outside of the Ministry has /never/ interacted with a Muggle directly.<br/>- Your average non-Muggle-born Witch or Wizard has no concept of Muggle Devices and/or their uses.<br/><br/>POSTING:<br/>- Threads will be created at the request of players, and will be marginally GM'd/run by the person who requested the thread.<br/>- Specifics on Requesting a thread will be posted in the dedicated thread.<br/>- Threads have no specific pose order, although a majority of the 'cast' involved in a thread need to have a chance to post before you post again. Post-spammers will be reprimanded.<br/>- All OOC comments should be kept to the bottom or top of a post, and should be clearly marked (By an OOC marker of some sort at the beginning at least).<br/>- Posts should be made in a third-person, present-tense format. Such as:<br/><br/>At the moment, Loren is sitting before the fire, his wand out, a feather floating in the air in front of him. A simple spell... but then again, he's not doing homework. Pie is on the floor before him, doing any number of gymnastic feats trying to get to it. As the girls come into view, he looks up, smiling, and motions to a portion of the couch next to him. A wordless offer is given.<br/><br/>CROSS-POSTING:<br/>Due to the nature of the individual threads, it is possible that a player may be involved in several scenes at once. As long as they don't conflict, timewise, there is /nothing/ wrong with that. I personally understand that some threads may take weeks to finish.<br/><br/>As such, there is currently no limit to the number of non-conflicting threads a player can be involved in (although if they manage to slow threads down by being spread too thin, players can request that said person bow out).<br/><br/>However... that said, nothing said in a scene in which you are not involved can be assumed as 'known' without asking the consent of those involved (PM is best).<br/><br/>As well, you are /never/ to post in a thread where you are not listed in the 'cast list' in the first post. If you wish to be included, PM the GM and thread originator before doing so.<br/><br/>MULTIPLE CHARACTERS:<br/>At this time, all players are allowed a maximum of two players. No more than one can be in any given house.<br/><br/>HOUSES:<br/>We will still be using the traditional houses. House points will be there, but will mostly be a background thing. Detentions can happen, and are usually given by the head of the house of the offender.

First years who went to Hogwarts in 2010 were sent back home that week, and have been in ether private schooling, or home-taught.<br/>- Each year after that, there were no additional students added to the roster.<br/>- There were /no/ Muggle-born students in the first-year class of 2010-2011.<br/>- No student on this game will have been a former Hogwarts student, excepting those purebloods or mixed-bloods that were part of the 'Squib Class' of 2010.

Because he is all to painfully aware of the evil of<br/>  the Death Eaters, he wants to redeem his family name and himself. He idolizes heroes, especially in<br/>  literature, and hopes one day to be come an Auror. Despite these hopeful objectives, however, his<br/>  “eruption” caused his best friend and the girl he loves to go insane. As a result of this and the constant<br/>  verbal and psychological abuse he has suffered for being labeled a squib, a child of traitors, and a<br/>  bookworm, he has become withdrawn and melancholy, not fond of drawing attention to himself for fear of<br/>  drawing ridicule. However, should he someone else unfairly attacked in the manner that he was, he will<br/>  unhesitatingly stand up to defend them, turning fully his resentment and wrath upon them.<br/><br/>- Myrddin is the child of a pair of little known Death Eaters, the Sablehearts. Both were extremely skilled<br/>  at spell combat, Pureblooded, Slytherins, and fought loyally for Voldemort. However, due to the fact that<br/>  He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named found them to be dreadfully lacking in subtlety, he rarely used them save in<br/>  massive attacks on other wizards, especially Aurors. Myrddin was born scant weeks before the final defeat<br/>  of Voldemort and his followers, in which his parents died.<br/><br/>- Raised in foster shelter, Myrddin was made known of his lineage just before the typical period of the<br/>  emergence of wizard powers begins. However, even before that moment, he had been shunned by other orphans<br/>  at the foster shelter, who were told the truth far earlier, in an effort to keep them away from him.<br/>  However, Myrddin already had had his suspicions, not only because of his peers, but because whenever<br/>  prospective adopters came to search for an orphan to adopt, they always looked at him with either contempt<br/>  or fear. Only one person ever regarded him as something other than the child of Death Eaters, his best and<br/>  only friend, the girl Nimue.<br/><br/>  This girl, apparently, the same age as Myrddin, was the child of a Gryffindor Auror and a Muggle woman who<br/>  had fallen in love. While her mother died giving birth, her father, near suicidal after the death of his<br/>  wife, threw himself into mortal combat with the Death Eaters, taking half a dozen of them down before he<br/>  himself died at Voldemort’s own hand. Myrddin and Nimue stayed close friends throughout childhood, and he<br/>  found her to be the one good thing in his life. <br/><br/>  He always was painfully aware that because of her friendship with him, others didn’t trust her, and, like<br/>  him, she was never adopted. They suffered the disappointment and humiliation of being labeled squibs<br/>  together, only bonding them together more fiercely.

The result of his high emotions, the built of magic, and his own unique and powerful<br/>  Divinatory skill was disastrous. As an apocalyptic prophecy wracked his mind, the vision impressed itself<br/>  on the young girl’s consciousness as well, assaulting her psyche when it was at its most vulnerable with<br/>  images of death and despair. Myrrdin still doesn’t remember the actual prophecy, his mind having shut it<br/>  away for now, and he has no care to recall the thing that took his beloved from him.

This was oftentimes a very major, sometimes traumatic experience.<br/>  Describe yours, in as much detail as you desire.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>  Born in 1999, Bill was raised in an all wizarding household.  The family’s<br/>  only claims to fame were his paternal great-grandfather who worked with<br/>  Nicholas Flamel once (for two days) and his maternal grandfather, who was a<br/>  reasonably tame giant.  Yes, this means his mother was a half-giant.  And<br/>  that Bill’s a quarter-giant.  In the insular and relatively small wizarding<br/>  community, this is fairly well known, though Bill prefers not to talk about<br/>  it.  When he wasn’t taken to Hogwarts in 2009, the family was worried that<br/>  the giant blood had overpowered the wizard blood in his veins. Fortunately,<br/>  that doesn’t appear to be the case.<br/><br/>  He was signed up for the remedial courses a year later and did passingly<br/>  well, though his teachers always thought he could do better.  With the<br/>  exception of Herbology, where he got lucky, Bill did mediocre in his tests<br/>  for all subjects.  That said, his test scores don’t accurately reflect his<br/>  knowledge/understanding.  In fact, his eruption of power came during one of<br/>  his tests.  He’d just had his birthday a few days before when he had a big<br/>  Potions test.  Everything was going smoothly and his potion was coming along<br/>  nicely.  It was virtually textbook perfect.  The color and consistency were<br/>  excellent.  He might’ve gotten an O in the subject, even.  The professor was<br/>  looking forward to being able to give him that grade, in fact.<br/><br/>  Of course, everything was going along too perfectly.  Bill got nervous about<br/>  that.  Especially after the teacher’d come by for the sixth or seventh time.<br/>  All he had to do was leave the cauldron alone.  And he was trying his best to<br/>  do that.  He never touched the iron pot.  He only looked at it.  Once.  For a<br/>  few seconds.  But that was enough.  His cauldron, and those of the three<br/>  students nearest to him, suddenly had a fit of spontaneous combustion.  All<br/>  four exploded spectacularly, spraying the entire room with the mingled contents<br/>  of four potions in various stages of completion.  Bill spent the next six hours<br/>  huddling under an overturned table while a magical reversal squad was called in<br/>  and kept busy with his classmates and teacher.  Needless to say, he nearly<br/>  failed the test, and almost caused his fellow students to fail as well.<br/>  Fortunately, the teacher realized what had happened.  Accordingly, the other<br/>  students were allowed to retake the test and Bill was forced to settle with an<br/>  Adequate.<br/><br/>  When he arrived at school, Bill was sorted into Ravenclaw due to his<br/>  intelligence.  He wasn’t outgoing enough for Gryffindor or insidious enough<br/>  for Slytherin.  He might’ve been good for Hufflepuff, but the Sorting Hat<br/>  decided otherwise.  Since he just started at Hogwarts, he doesn’t know what his<br/>  worst subjects are yet, but he does know that he’s good at finding out anything<br/>  that uses the library or books.  Based on that limited information, he assumes<br/>  that History, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Potions, Runes, and Astronomy will be<br/>  easy for him.  Maybe the theoretical parts of DADA.  The rest, he’s not so sure<br/>  about.  Still, Bill expects mediocre marks in everything because of his past<br/>  history.</pre>"

its streets, shops, buildings, and farms, one would not think anything amiss.  The population is a little shy of a thousand souls, almost all human with a little elven mixed in around the edges, here and there.  The fields are fertile.  The nearby river produces livelihood for four score of fishermen.  Two mines produce iron ore and a little gold.<br/><br/>But as the afternoon fades toward evening, as the shadows grow long, one sees a different side of Cold Rock.  People go indoors.  Doors and gates are bolted shut.  Cattle are brought into barns.  As the sun sets, the fear begins.  Fear of things that move in the night.  For the people of Cold Rock no longer own the night.  The days when the Risling Empire's legions held back the beasts is over, the Empire folded up, gone back across the mountains.  The town is on its own.  And on its own, it cannot stand against the thousands of orcs, gnolls, and other even fouler things that called the forest home before the Empire came, and which now dare to call it home again.  Especially when the night falls, and they are unopposed.<br/><br/>About ten years ago, the conquest of Cold Rock began.  A farmstead was raided and burned.  Then another.  In each case, the men were put to the sword, the women abducted.  The town was powerless to stop the attacks.  The Empire it had relied on for protection was gone, faltering under its own weight, with its own battles to fight.  So the town had to find its own answer.  And it did...<br/><br/>One night, a band of orcs and gnolls went to destroy a third farm.  It was near the two that had been burned two nights before.  The farmers had seen the torches of the raiders from a distance, and had prepared.  When the party got to the field of the farmer, they found a cow, two pigs...and the farmer's wife, wearing only a cloak.  As the five orcs approached, weapons drawn, the woman dropped the cloak, revealing herself.  She was not an overly attractive woman, not the type who would turn heads or draw whistles, but she was not old or ugly either.  ""Please,"" she said, ""spare our farm.  You can take these animals...and...""  A tear came to her eye.  ""You can take me for the night.  Okay?""<br/><br/>The leader stepped forward, a fearsome-looking orc a foot and a half taller than her.  His leather armor bore sigils indicating he was a captain.  He smiled a toothy grin.  ""What is to stop us...from taking you and burning your farm, human,"" he half-said, half-snarled.<br/><br/>She looked down at the ground for a moment, then at him.  ""Nothing,"" she said, sighing, shivering a little.  ""We are but human farmers, you are orc warriors.  You can do anything you want to me.  To us.  But if you let me return to help run the farm...and spare it...then we can breed more animals, grow more food.  And...and...when your...youngling is born,"" she patted her stomach with a blank look on her face, ""I will bring it to the edge of the farm after dark, so you can raise it.""  She looked the leader in the eye.<br/><br/>""You have courage, human.  Though your kind are weak.""  He laughed.  ""I think I will breed you myself.  Every month on the full moon, you will come out when the sun goes down.  Agreed?""<br/><br/>The woman could only nod.  And, though her moans and cries filled the night air, smoke from a burning farm did not.  As daylight gathered in the east, the orcs carried her, too weary to walk, and dropped her at the front of the homestead, laughing.  Her daughter came to the door, pulled her inside, tending to her.  She was bruised some, but not seriously hurt.  The family did not speak of it, though when the full moon came in two weeks, she went outside at sundown, going to the same place...where the orc leader and three warriors waited.  ""I did not think you would come,"" he said, chuckling, even as he disrobed...<br/><br/>And she came during the next full moon.  Her monthly cycle had stopped.  Each time, her belly grew a little larger, until by the eighth month after that first night, it was large indeed.  Her breasts were swollen.  When she went for the orc leader, he patted her stomach.  ""You are too far along,"" he said.  ""Tonight, bring me your eldest daughter.""<br/><br/>The woman could only nod meekly.  She waddled back to the farmstead, shaking her eldest, a young woman of nineteen years, awake.  ""You are needed,"" she said to her daughter.  The daughter wordlessly got up, putting on her cloak.  ""You must be brave,"" her mother said.  Her eyes went down to her protruding belly.  So did her daughter's eyes...before the young lady looked down at herself.  Then, the daughter went out into the night...<br/><br/>The next day, the daughter came back.  Like her mother, she, too, had been released.  And about the time the mother gave birth to an orcling, her daughter missed her monthly cycle, too.<br/><br/>Over the next couple years, burnings of farms and other attacks on the town became less common.  The farmers on that homestead had not been the only ones to arrive at that...accomodation.  Word had gotten out...at first the farm family found themselves pariahs, but others would come to them, confessing they, too, had given the orcs, gnolls, and ogres ""tribute"" as well.  And there were other incidents.  One night, a boisterous group of fifteen orcs descended on the town tavern, buying drinks and taking advantage of both barmaids and the innkeeper's wife and daughter.<br/><br/>Cold Rock remained a town...but now the birthrate has gone down...about a third of all births in the town are nonhumans born to human women, over a hundred since the first farmstead offered up its matriarch.  Most of the babies are given to the horde living throughout the forest.  In a couple years, the first ones will come of age.  Fewer human children than one might expect play in the yards and streets of the town.<br/><br/>Now, for the mechanics.  This is freeform.  You can play monsters or townspeople.  If you want to turn it into a more classical RPG adventure, we can use D&D 2.0 rules for those threads.  You can RP with other players, or me, or both.  It's all up to you.  Note that characters will be the equivalent of third-level AD&D characters...no super powers, changelings, half-dragons, vampires, etc.<br/><br/>If you're interested, reply here."

One day her father didn't return, her mother was scared, afraid that he would not return. And her fears became reality as a troupe of elven rangers brought his body to Ilana's cottage. The young half-elven lass saw her father then and there, his body dead and cold too the touch. His longbow stretched across his chest with underneath it his sword, Ilana's mother sank to her knees. Pleaded to the elves to raise him but he was already to far gone.<br/><br/>Grown bitter by this Ilana sought her own way of someday raising her father from his grave, spending hours as a child in the house of Talos she studied the ways of the priests there who gave her credit for her undying need for knowledge. When she was a fullgrown woman the priests came to there cottage, claiming that the woman's daughter was to become a cleric in the priesthood of Talos. By that time Ilana had already become a headstrong fighter, strong with the weapons of the clergy and so she joined them without a single care for her mother. Talos was now her father, her mother and her brother and sister. She served only him. Now sent on a quest to set up a church of Talos in the woods, to revert the battle hardened Orcs, Goblins and other speices to Talos' graces she has found her way into the town of Cold Rock.<br/><br/>Description:<br/>Ilana is mostly dressed in her chainmail cloth, a dark cloth lies beneath it covered in the images of Torm. Her belt features her own crafted weapon, her warhammer ""Tremor"", a weapon she herself forged in the temple of Torm to become a full fledged Cleric she uses it in all her assignments. The weapon is forged to deliver a punishing blow, enough to daze most creatures with a single blow. She uses a medium shield for protection together with her chainmail.<br/><br/>Underneath her clothing she is often mistaken for Drow, with her dark skin. Only her hair reveals her to be human, or at least partially. Dark raven hair flows from her shoulders. But that is mostly cut away into what looks more like a man's way of cutting his hair, her form is strong both muscled and the way she is build. A large sturdy woman, the only thing revealing she's not a man is her face and the two orbs that stick through her chainmail.<br/><br/>Stats:<br/>Str - 15<br/>Dex - 10<br/>Con - 14<br/>Int - 10<br/>Wis - 16<br/>Cha - 11<br/><br/>Weapon Prof:<br/>Warhammer Mastery<br/>Flail Mastery<br/>Sword and Shield Mastery<br/><br/>Equipment:<br/>Warhammer (Daze's creatures if they fail a 2d6 Endurance roll)<br/>Chainmail Armor<br/>Medium Shield."

After all seems unfair if I have no followers that I could not have a higher level character might I ask for a 8th level character with no followers. That would exclude a leader and be three levels below the group concept. I figure half the follwers divided by two and rounded up added to four would be fair.

That's kinda why I haven't done one up (well, two, since it seems I'm doing Natalie's as well! :D) and at least PM'd it to Zak, but yeah, are we ready to start talking seriously about characters yet?<br/><br/>I've still got those multiple ideas I mentioned to you before, Zak, and my favorite is still that solo with the playbeing package. For those interested, the idea is a real street samurai kinda girl, she 'sold-out' to an escort agency or something, nominally as a bodyguard, but her contract also involved her getting the 'escort modification' package. So she's a 'full-service' escort: tough, combat oriented bodyguard who looks good on your arm at the 10,000 Euro a plate charity dinner, and she also looks good in your bed after.  ;)<br/><br/>The difference between my character and Natalie's, is my character didn't get raised into being a Companion. She just neglected to read the fine print in her contract, so she's not so happy with the playbeing thing.<br/><br/>I would like to play her, but if people think that might be stepping on Natalie's toes I have other ideas too.

And tremember she is ASSIGNED she does not seduce or try to draw in marks they send a profile and other information, travel vouchers and she goes to service the Executive maybe for a short seesion and maybe for months. If you saw the OLD Rollerball film from the 1970's she would be like those women that were assigned to the star Rollerballer they came and were shuffled out every so often- a day, week or maybe months rarely longer. I take it resources 10 would be a seriously scary CEO or VIP, she is clearly connected but not too high. I figure thats mostly from being raised in the Corp to loyal Corp executives. I figured she'd be a worthy companion knows something about business and is really beautiful and classy, can dance and is very fit- likely is required to take part in athletic activities like swimming to stay that way. As for Diagnose Illness its very unlikely she would not be required to get tested between assignments and the Executives would generally be clean. We are likely talking highly placed ones that can get her as a Perk I would think a fairly HIGH Resoruces.  ;)<br/><br/>And I want to leave SOMETHING to spend xp on Resources would be a likely area, one think she wants to do is get freed from her contract and start getting position in the Corp- maybe a position in her branch training and handling girls with recruitment perhaps added in?

The transgender portion would be easier to play, but the other forms would be covered with Body Mods, the most exotic being the most expensive and hard to come by.<br/><br/>3Q) Is sex the main objective and purpose to this Shadowrun campaign?<br/>3A) No, sex is not the main objective, but it being Shadowrun, it will be most definitely played out, as well as other vices like drug addiction and BTL SimSense addiction.<br/><br/>4Q) Will my character be raped during this game since it is a NC game?<br/>4A) No, your character will only be raped IF you as the player wish to deem it so. Rape carries the same detrimental effects that it does in the real world and thus, I expect your characters to act accordingly when being presented and/or involved in such a horrible act.<br/><br/>5Q) When will the opportunity to have sex arise during the game?<br/>5A) As much as possible with the exception of Critical Missions and Sub Missions. Sometimes you may be able to worm your way out of trouble by ""pacifying"" someone or getting information out via the horizontal mambo, but, like usual. A lot of the people will be more willing to pump hot lead in you instead of cum.<br/><br/>Basic F.A.Q.<br/><br/>1Q) How do I create a character?<br/>1A) Please refer to the Character Creation page and use the following standard 400 BP book creation method. If you do not own the book there will be a linked character generator that can be used to help create a character. If you still need help creating, the GM and other players will be willing to lend a hand.<br/><br/>2Q) Will I be able to use my Contacts I have listed on my sheet at all during game-play?<br/>2A) Why of course! I wouldn't have kept that portion of the sheet if you didn't. Most of the time, your Contacts are used for Sub-Missions and if you have Contacts with Arms Dealers, a place to buy gear.<br/><br/>3Q) What is the difference between Critical Missions and Sub-Missions?<br/>3A) Critical Missions are Missions given to the group as a whole to push the story ahead and tends to effect the game on a larger scale later on as they progress. Critical Missions tend to be more overall dangerous with the more stronger possibility of death of characters. Sub-Missions are randomly generated Missions given to the group or specific character to gain Nuyen, Karma and Gear. Possibility of death is bellow average unless the PCs wish to play a ""Suicide Run"" which is much more difficult then a standard Critical Mission, but the rewards are great. Sub-Missions are also the prime usage of the players active Contacts and some Sub-Missions do involve storyline pertaining to the main overall arc of plot. So it is wise to actually use your Contacts now and then.<br/><br/>4Q) What is the current time and date that this campaign starts?<br/>4A) 2/13/2070 A.D.<br/><br/>5Q) What is a SIN and what is the significance of such in this campaign?<br/>5A) A SIN is the basic streamlined identification used for a single individual registered to live within the UCAS. Think of a more invasive Social Security number. Shadowrunners tend to have no SIN at all due to the crash of the Matrix which resolved in hundreds of thousands of people living within the UCAS to become SINless. You need a SIN to do anything and most Shadowrunners buy fake SINs to do such and discard once they become too hot of an active profile. There are two types of SINs, a regular SIN and a Criminal SINs. Criminal SINs have many restrictions and are more monitored fiercely then regular SINs. Players of course can start out with an actual SIN with the ""SINner"" Negative Quality and thus Shadowrunners tend to buy Fake SINs to keep their real selves unknown.<br/><br/>6Q) What books will be used in this campaign?<br/>6A) Shadowrun Fourth Edition [Fourth Printing/FP Errata] Street Magic and Runner Havens.<br/><br/>7Q) What books am I required to have?<br/>7A) No books really, although having the actual copy of Shadowrun Fourth Edition Core is a recommended must have. For those who have it, check your printing to see if it is fourth printing or not [check page 13 of the book, if it says 1st - 3rd printing, you need to download the latest errata http://www.shadowrunrpg.com/resources/sr4/sr4_errata_v15.pdf ] Having the other two books mentioned will also help, but is not required.<br/><br/>8Q) What programs will be used in conjecture of this game?<br/>8A) The CharGenSR4 2.0 program will be used, it is not required, but is a real handy device, easy to use and a small download. It can be found here: http://daegann.free.fr/programmes/CharGenSR4.zip ]"

For the remainder of the scene, the Solar may reflexively block any attacks against him with his full Dexterity + Brawl, although as normal he requires a stunt to block lethal attacks. Additionally, the character's offensive abilities are greatly increased; the character adds his Essence to Brawl attack rolls, this bonus counts against the normal die pool limit.<br/><br/>Golden Savage Block<br/>Cost: 4 motes, 1 Willpower<br/>Duration: Instant<br/>Type: Reflexive<br/>Minimum Brawl: 5<br/>Minimum Essence: 3<br/>Prerequisite Charms: God Among Men Stance<br/>Drawing his pure nature, the Brawler moves forward and simply stops any opponent's attack. This charm perfectly stops any attack, even if that attack is unblockable or if the brawler is unaware of the attack. To use this charm, the Solar must be truly bare-handed; using any sort of brawling aid interferes with the nature of the charm and renders it useless. The magic of the charm serves to protect the character's hands, and even blocking a Primordial's attacks with this charm will cause the Solar no harm.<br/><br/>Swelling Drummer's Cadence<br/>Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower<br/>Duration: Instant<br/>Type: Extra Action<br/>Minimum Brawl: 5<br/>Minimum Essence: 4<br/>Prereq: Hammer on Iron Technique, Crashing Wave Throw<br/><br/>The Solar explodes in a flurry of attacks, but there is a method to his violent madness-- each attack forces the opponent into a disadvantagous position to evade the next.<br/><br/>The Solar makes multiple attacks against a single opponent, as per the rules for Hammer on Iron, including the inability to dodge or parry. However, invoking a dodge or parry against one of the attacks makes that defense inapplicable against the immediately following attack.<br/><br/>For example, Dace uses the Swelling Drummer's Cadence against a Dragon-Blooded. The Dragon-Blooded dodges the first attack-- whether successful or not, Dace's second attack is undodgeable, though the Dragon-Blooded may parry. If he does parry Dace's second attack, regardless of success, the third attack is unblockable, but dodgeable.<br/><br/>This Charm only functions for the Solar's attacks-- if another character somehow interrupted Dace to attack the DB, he would gain no benefits from the Charm.<br/><br/>Savage Gorilla Fist<br/>Cost: 7 motes<br/>Type: Supplemental<br/>Duration: Instant<br/>Minimum Brawl: 5<br/>Minimum Essence: 4<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Shockwave Technique, Fists of Iron Technique<br/><br/>The Solar strikes with the force of a hundred lesser men.

This requires a Perception + Investigation roll; the roll has a difficulty of the subjects Essence if he knows the nature of this charm and is guarding his tone. One success will unveil the general subjext of the conversation (""I have no designs on your wife, sah!!...what do you think I am? A suicidal moron?""). Three successes digs a bit deeper and gives you all of the information relevant ot the conversation. (""...though, I do know that she's having an affair and with whom.""). Five successes will let you make wild cognitive leaps off very little information (""...however, that's not your biggest problem. I'm actually a spy from the Blessed Isle, and I've been relaying vital information back to the All-Seeing Eye."").<br/>If the subject is a particularly good liar (got more successes than you on his dissembling roll), one or two additional success is required for the same information.<br/><br/>Dauntless Pursuer Method<br/>Cost: 8 motes<br/>Duration: Indefinite<br/>Type: Simple<br/>Minimum Investigation: 5<br/>Minimum Essence: 4<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Evidence Discerning Method<br/><br/>This Charm allows the investigating Exalt to track a suspect or object to the ends of Creation. Wherever the suspect stepped or the object has been, footprints appear in blood. This is a Perfect Effect, and cannot be foiled by any Charm that has a lower Essence requirement. If the suspect is not on Creation, the footprints will lead to the nearest doorway into that realm, whether it be the Underworld, Wyld, Yu Shan or Malfeas.<br/>"

her eyes are a deep brown color, set in a pretty face with a mischievous grin.<br/>The tunic Callie wears is fairly loose, with slashed sleeves, and cinched with a leather belt over somewhat tighter trousers, tucked into a pair of soft boots.  She wears fingerless black gloves; a crossbow hangs from her backpack and a bandoleer of daggers crosses over her torso, indicating just how defenseless she's not.  A wooden holy symbol of Pelor hangs around her neck.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Callie's uncle, Milo Bluecreek, was and is a talented, well-known thief and ne'er-do-well.  He'd had high hopes for his niece as she grew up, and when her strange abilities manifested shortly after her 14th birthday, he was eager to teach her.  ""I'll show our lil' sorcerer how t'use her tricks like a real halfling,"" he laughed.  With her newfound powers, Milo believed, Callie might someday surpass his own roguish skills.<br/>The clan was only happy to have Milo show Callie the ropes, and she stayed with him through many of her teenage years, absorbing all he would teach her.  Her talent seemed great, though her powers developed slowly at best.  There was one lesson, though, that Callie (unlike most of her kin) managed to doze through: the one about how taking other people's stuff was a good thing to do.<br/>Unfortunately, by the time she realized the incongruence, Callie had grown up with a skill set completely unsuited to her temperment and no idea whatsoever how to make any kind of honest living.  Adventuring, it seemed, was the only recourse left to her, and so she left home with little choice but to dungeoneer her way through life.  So far, it's worked out pretty well, although she's getting sick of everyone assuming she's as crooked as most of her kin -- she never, ever steals anything whose owner came by it more or less honestly, and much of what she does take ends up donated to the church of Pelor.  (Callie has become a devout follower of the Shining One -- she disdains the gods of her own race, viewing their worship as hypocritical at best.)<br/><br/>Tactics:<br/>Getting attacked is<em>bad</em>, mmkay?  Callie isn't a coward, but she can't take hits and she knows it.  She'll attempt to snipe opponents (she's almost capable of making her Hide check to get out of view after shooting) if she can; if forced into melee she'll attempt to tumble into flanking position to take advantage of her sneak attack.  Either way, obvious spellcasters are the primary targets and she'll steal spells and spell-like abilities whenever she can, and use them as soon as possible if she gets something powerful.  (If she has no idea what spells a target has, she will attempt to steal<em>scorching ray</em>.)"

His mother died in childbirth, and, for the first few years of his life, was raised by his father, a mighty and powerful warrior in his own right, supposedly descended from dragons a dozen generations back. He was perhaps the mightiest of the tribe. His rages were the stuff of legend, of myth, of tales told around fires on cold, lonely nights. Even so, however, his father died when Emrys was no more than 3 years old. The child only vaguely understood that his father had died nobly in combat, only dying after having killed countless foes. He was taken into the household of the chieftain, a warrior of as great repute as Emrys's father, and raised as if he were the chieftain's own. He developed a strong relationship with Amala, the chieftain's daughter over the course of their childhood. When he became a young man, however, he did not yet take her hand in wedlock. Though his chieftain gave his full approval to the couple, Emrys felt he had not yet proved himself worthy of her hand, and so sought to train long and hard, to fight better than any other, to achieve a level of skill only achieved by his father and the man who raised him. His prowess grew, and now he seeks ever greater challenges, his father's trusty, battle-battered sword at his side.<br/><br/>Emrys is somewhat of a brooder at times, and examines his actions almost to a fault. He believes strongly in loyalty to allies and freedom for all. He is generally very outspoken and blunt, but is courteous when he feels the desire to be. He is a staunch friend and ally, and an implacable foe.<br/><br/>Emrys is short compared to most humans, at a mere 5’ 0” but he makes up for it in sheer muscle, with an attitude to match. His body is muscular and honed, perfect for athletics, were he ever to train in them. His eyes are a piercing sky blue, and his long, black hair has a few braids, with feathers in them, to mark certain rites of passage he underwent as a youth. His body is a tan color, making the brown down on his forearms and legs less visible. He cuts an imposing figure when he draws himself up to his full height, but rarely does, almost always staying in a crouched stance, as if about to pounce.<br/>"

The agents weren't filled in at what criminal matters were accidently uncovered when they gone into action, but those were small time affairs. What was important is that a small plastic card from a certain top-top-secret laboratory was in the fugitive's possesion and was tracked to Canada. For the trip, they got a suitcase full of equipment and chock full of buearucracy working to have their actions be legal. No license to kill this time, not license to destroy, but at least the Canadian police would recognize their status.<br/>When inside the dry and warm interior of the grav-cruiser, the pilot pulled off her face-covering helmet and adjusted her flowing golden locks.

Some vary more than others.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong><em>Nagas</em></strong><br/><br/>DESERT<br/>-Desert Nagas are common in some desolate Regions. The fierce heat does little to affect them and they travel most freely over the seas of sand. Desert Nagas are often accomplished builders, constructing underground networks of homes in which they dwell. Many have intermixed with local societies, some of which hold the serpents in great regard - especially those civilizations which worship snakes. Some Desert Nagas do not hesitate to take advantage of this - others remain neutral.   Desert Nagas tend to range from barbaric to very culturally advanced, depending on thier location. They appreciate soft metals more than jewelry and tapestries. There is an ancient and simplistic beauty in thier tastes.<br/><br/>Desert Nagas possess wonderful camoflauge and a keen sense of perception. Though many do not pray on other humanoids, some have made terribly effective marauders in the sandy dunes. Others yet have become mercenaries. In thier own settlements, Nagas are often as diverse as humans. Thiers are only a civilization hampered by thier slow rate of birth.<br/><br/><br/>FOREST<br/>-Forest Nagas tend to exist in the deepest elements of thier environments. They are more animalistic than most types of Nagas and many do isolate themselves forcibly from more cultured civilizations. They are one of the many protections of some grand wildernesses - tribes of them hunt with ruthless efficiency. Only those creatures that may truly influence nature have any hope at diplomacizing with the Forest Naga.  Thier poison is more effective than other Nagas and they tend to wear little armor. Some train with weapons that other humanoid races use - though in maintaining these weapons, and repairing them, have often transformed them into something more dignified of thier culture. Jagged edges, markings, on occasion being combined with other weapons. Attempts have been made to drive the horrific Nagas from the forest, but even the bravest soldiers, knowing of the Naga, become on edge after entering into thier territory..<br/><br/>Forest Nagas possess natural camoflauge and natural poison that can become excreted upon thier skin. Some of them are more alike Salamanders. They are faster than normal Nagas and possess a deadly instinct for Combat.<br/><br/><br/>MOUNTAIN<br/><br/>SEA<br/><br/>DRACONIC"

No taking actions with other player's characters, unless both players PM me expressing their ok with it.<br/><br/>2. I am still determining how to fairly handle rolls during combat and checks.  However, all GM rolls will be rolled by me privately, and then based on your roll, you will find out how you did.<br/><br/>3. If you end up rolling a 1, something bad is going to happen to your character.  Accept it.  I will not kill your character for rolling a one, but it is likely that your character will get injured or suffer for it, that's my perogative as GM.  But I will be brutally fair, and it might not be as bad as you might think.<br/><br/>4. No flaming other people on this game.  If there is a problem, PM me.  But, if a player asks you to stop, be considerate and do so.<br/><br/>5. This game will include non-consentual acts, if the characters fall into an arisen opportunity.  However, that might not happen.  However, I do not believe seducing the enemy for secrets in non-consentual.<br/><br/>6. This game is for fun.  If you have any ideas, including on how the GM should handle your character, send me a note.  If you have any critiques, send me a note.  I will look at them and if they make sense, I will use them.  But this game is not for me, it is for the players.  I am here, as a GM, in the role of arbiter.<br/><br/>7. I would ask each player to post no less than once a week, once we get started.  Also, at the end of each episode (as i design them), you will be awarded XP.  Each person will get a base amount of XP, and then people who have really proven themselves as roleplayers will get extra.  This includes coming up with interesting ways of handling crises.  However, the XP amount given to your character is non-negotiable.<br/><br/>Also, languages will be in different colors, however, I am going to type them in Basic.  The key will come out later.  If your character cannot speak or read/write that language, then you cannot understand it.  Any other suggestions for rules, let me know."

at age 15, stealing her father's hovercar and racing it across the largest city on the planet at breakneck speeds, leading the peace officials on a merry chase before ditching it in a lower-class area of town, and since then lived on her own, stealing vehicles for joyrides then selling them to chop shops when she was done with them, until she got caught trying to steal Dominique's car, and Domi

Stats:  34B-24-32<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>It was a fast one, the kinda car Daddy woulda bought me in a second if I asked.  Not that that was saying much, he'd have bought me anything to keep me happy.  Still, there was just something so much more fun about taking what I wanted.<br/><br/>She was hot, too, stepping out of the car, her jeans and plain tee shirt lending an air of the street tough...  I bet she was the type who had her hovercar modded for extra speed, even better.  Too bad I couldn't steal her and take her for a joyride, but I could see the blaster inside her jacket, and if she wasn't really forgiving, it would be risky.<br/><br/>*Hmmm, maybe I'll try later anyway.*<br/><br/>She stepped away from the car and into the building, and I checked the street, a few bystanders, but nobody looked especially interested.  I walked over to the hovercar like I owned it, nobody expects that, after all, and hopped in.  No keys, just a keypad, so I popped the cover off and started on the wiring.  It was a good one, took me two whole minutes to crack it.  But with a final twist of a wire and a quick press of the 5 button, it started right up.  I sat back up from the keypad with the cockiest grin ever, this was a sweet ride...  and stared into 3 blaster barrels.  Damn.<br/><br/>""Uh, hey, guys, nice night for a ride, huh?""  I felt the cold metal of at least 2 more behind me, no way outta this one but to talk fast.<br/><br/>""Hey, is this your hovercar?  I'm sorry, I must have been mistaken, I have the same model and I thought I parked here-""  There she was again, she must have seen me watching her earlier.  Funny, she didn't look too upset.<br/><br/>""You're pretty good.  What's your name?""<br/><br/>""Kari Navinsk.  Nice to meet you.  So, umm, can you have them put down the blasters?  I really don't want to know if any of you guys are twitchy.""  She reached out with a little remote and shut down the car, and the guns were lowered.  I couldn't see them people holding them very well in the darkness, but she stood out.<br/><br/>""I'm Dominique.  And I need talent like yours.  Why don't you come inside so we can talk about my proposition?""<br/><br/>""Umm, well, actually I was just leaving.  I'm not really big on steady work.""<br/><br/>""Oh, you seem to have misunderstood me.  There are no other options.""  The people with the blasters seemed to agree, and I doubted my little peashooter blaster hidden in my boot would be sufficient against several well-armed, trained guards.  Part of me screamed to try anyway, but I shrugged and followed her.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>""So, here's the deal.  I'm offering you a position with the resistance.  We're fighting the Empire that's taken control of the whole star system, oppressing and controlling its people.""<br/><br/>""Listen, sounds like a blast, really it does, but I have this problem with getting killed.  I don't know how to fight really, I just like to drive fast and hard.""<br/><br/>""Well, as part of my team, fighting shouldn't be necessary for the most part, we mainly gather intelligence.  But a good driver could really be useful, either for escapes or distraction.  And you'd be sticking it to the Empire, too.""<br/><br/>""Hmmm...  Let me think.  Drive fast, steal military vehicles, and be a super spy, or stare down those blasters your guards are holding at me, right?  Tough choice.  Sure, why not?  Sounds like fun anyway.  And if you pay me well enough, I might even stick around, instead of disappearing the moment I'm in an imperial vehicle.  Just tell your friends to put those things away, after all, you wouldn't wanna waste a new friend, right?""<br/><br/>""Sure thing.  Welcome to Eclipse Company."""

Sure, the damage roll is useless if they miss, but that shouldn't be a big worry. The nice part is that when it's a hit, the damage roll is already done so you, as GM, can apply full effects without having to wait for another post from the player.<br/><br/>And on saving throws:<br/><br/>Anytime an incidental save comes up, I for one would be fine with the GM making the roll for me. It'll save a couple posts sometimes. Instead of a string like :<br/><br/>GM post: The stormtrooper flicks his blaster over to stun and fires a single shot, hitting you. Roll a fort save for the stun, DC 15<br/><br/>Player post: I rolled a  14, oh noes!<br/><br/>GM post: okay, you are stunned...<br/><br/>It becomes<br/><br/>GM post: The stormtrooper flicks his blaster over to stun and fires a single shot, hitting you. Unfortunately, you fail your save and are stunned.<br/><br/><br/>Okay, not everyone likes having the GM roll for them, and I don't when we're tabletop gaming, but it just saves<em>sooooo much time</em>in PBP or PBEM games I have to recomment it.<br/><br/>Whatcha say, folks? Save a bit of time?"

She wasn't kept long by the slavers, who knew it wouldn't be at all difficult to sell a beautiful young twi'lek, especially one with uncommon colouring like Xiann's creamy violet skin.<br/>Soon enough Xiann found herself bought by a Hutt crimelord, Yohta. Actual obedience was easy for Xiann, having a strict father who had essentially planned to sell Xiann her whole life, but the nature of her service to the Hutt was a problem at first. Clearly she was meant to be used for entertainment and sex, and the young twi'lek wasn't so naturally inclined to perform in such capacities at first. Of course, Yohta had people for training slaves, and Xiann was soon 'properly instructed' and proved to be very popular amongst Yohta's guests. Xiann's popularity actually afforded her a measure of respect and notariety of her own, giving her something akin to some status eventually, at least because her time was in such demand. Despite being a slave and essentially obedient to Yohta, beings of many races sought Xiann's favour, hoping she would spend time with them when they came to visit Yohta. All of this was of great amusement to the Hutt, who thought it another symptom of what makes all other species inferior to Hutts, that they would seek to win the favour of a slavegirl. Thus did Xiann make the best of her situation for over six years.<br/>Slavery was Xiann's life until a little over a year ago, when a Correllian Resistance cell in need of weapons stole a shipment from Yohta. They attacked and boarded a ship in space that was carrying cargo for Yohta as he was relocating his base of operations. Amongst the cargo were a few of Yohta's slaves, including Xiann who was not travelling with Yohta for once because she had been ordered to stay behind a couple extra days as a parting gift for the governor of the planet Yohta was leaving. Now on this transport, being boarded by what they thought at first must be pirates (pirates wouldn't likely steal from a Hutt; they know better), Xiann found herself being 'freed' as she was dragged screaming over to the Resistance ship as they loaded the rest of Yohta's possessions, and of course the weapons they had come for.<br/>Xiann did have a little trouble adapting at first, and she still has a few problems where she just got used to things being a certain way, like cooking and cleaning; Yohta had<em>other</em>slaves to do that kind of thing. Still, Xiann is happy to be free, to no longer be a sex-slave and dancer for a Hutt crimelord, and is now actively working with the Corellian Resistance to try and bring down the new Empire using all the manipulative tricks she learned as an important slave in Yohta's household.<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'8""<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>131 lbs.<br/><strong>Hair:</strong>None...twi'lek's don't have any.<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Pale rose<br/><strong>Skin:</strong>Creamy, soft violet.<br/><strong>Age:</strong>21<br/><br/>Xiann is very much what most people think of when someone says 'exotic twi'lek beauty'. Her face is beautiful and delicate with almond eyes, high cheekbones, a button nose and a small, pretty mouth with just nicely full lips. Amongst her own people, Xiann's lekku would be considered very attractive and expressive.<br/>Likewise, her body is generally considered amazing. Xiann cuts a very clear figure with her full, but not overly large, firm breasts, narrow waist and hips just perfectly wide enough to give her a nice hourglass shape. Xiann's legs are long and graceful, as she keeps fit and toned by keeping up with her dancing, something she does take genuine pleasure in. She takes exacting care of her smooth violet skin, doing her uttmost to ensure it remains unblemished (it helps that she heals well and doesn't scar easily).<br/>Xiann definately tends towards nicer clothes, and her outfits are often on the skimpy side. It's what she's used to, comfortable in, and she knows full well how attractive she is and how to make use of her beauty by showing a little skin. Xiann would not often be accused of dressing practically, as in her opinion most practical clothes are pretty ugly."

They moved around rather frequently while she and her younger siblings (twins) were growing up to avoid the attention of authorities, but became rather well known around the galaxy. After the Empire came into power, doing criminal business on the Core world became much too risky and expensive for the aging couple, and they decided to retire. Ghalar, the head of the crime family they served would have none of it, and the couple knew that they would be hunted for the rest of their lives. So rather than running, they went to Nar Shadda and sought an audience with their boss. Reminding him of their years and years of loyal, profitable service, they convinced the Hutt to strike a deal: they would retire in luxury to Coruscant, to live among the elites under falsified identity papers as obscure royals in exile. In return, the Hutt would have their daughter to serve in their place for the rest of her life. Zariah was just entering her teens then, and understood exactly what her family was doing to her at the time. She can still remember the combined looks of shame and satisfaction on her parents' faces as they left her in chains with the Hutt, and the spoiled laughter of her younger siblings.<br/><br/>To her surprise, her fate was not as dark as she'd imagined. Ghalar was smart enough to realize that the girl could be so much more than a concubine. The parents had originally tried to sell him the youngest girl, but he requested Zariah...he could tell she was listening to the negotiations; she spoke Huttese. He could see the spark of intelligence in her eyes, and he quickly put that intelligence to use. He explained all of this to the young girl as she stood before him in chains, laughing in that deep voice that would etch itself into her memory over the years. She was dressed in the finest suits, fitted with a discreet obedience collar, and was immediately put to work as part of his ""office staff"", greeting and looking after guests, acting as a personal maid to the Hutt and his consorts, and, eventually, overseeing minor negotiations. She was treated well, but had no real freedom. Her days were regimented in the extreme; she ate when he said so, worked when he said so, and was tutored when he said so. She learned languages, accounting, rudimentary marksmanship, and had extensive schooling in diplomacy.<br/><br/>At the age of 16, she was ""freed"" from her service in the Hutt's inner sanctum, and became a spy for him in his court. He still controlled many aspects of her life, but she was now able to establish contacts of her own...to be exploited for his benefit, of course. She was growing into a lovely young woman, which served only to make her more valuable as a diplomatic spy. Any other girl might have been satisfied with such a life; she was fortunate enough to have been sold to a relatively kind-hearted Hutt, and never knew poverty. But Zariah was no fool; she could see the way that Ghalar now looked at her; she was no longer a scrawny little girl. She noticed that the outfits bought for her (she was not allowed to buy her own clothing still) were becoming more revealing...it was humiliating to be seen in public in them.<br/><br/>Zariah began making small deals in secret with the various traders on Nar Shadda. Using her old clothes and her reputation as collateral, she began building a lucrative business as a deal broker over the course of a few years. This did not go unnoticed by the Hutt, but he watched with veiled amusement at her ambition. Finally, just as she was prepared to escape the planet with her hard-earned credits, he had her captured and brought back to him.<br/><br/>""Hur Hur Hur...."" laughed the Hutt. ""You thought I was a fool, did you, girl? You forget...I have raised you for many years now, I might as well be your father.""<br/><br/>""You are not my father"" Zariah said, a slight edge in her voice.<br/><br/>""No, but I would say I've taken much better care of you than he did. Why did you try to run away from me? You had everything you could want....ah, don't tell me: even after all the years, you still don't trust me, eh? I told you that I had no interest in you as a consort...you are too smart. I would never let a woman like you get so close to me, foolish girl. But if it is freedom you desire....I will make you this offer. It is not negotiable. Though you are still my property, and too valuable for me to give up, I will let you leave Nar Shadda. But you must earn it. I am taking every last credit you have made in your dealings, but I will transport you to the world of your choice. Rebuild your business, Zariah, and I will allow you to pay me tribute and remain free. Fail, and you need only contact me to return to this life. This is my gift to you on your 20th birthday.""<br/><br/><br/>And so, Zariah chose Corellia, hoping that being so far from the Hutt's influence might give her another chance at freedom. It was a rough life at first, and she even had to take up dancing for the first few months of her new life, but in time she raised enough capital to get her back into the game. She started out in Spice distribution, eventually moving out of that dangerous field and into semi-legitimate trade. She began to meet traders, businessmen, and crime bosses who remembered her from Nar Shadda, and now, at the age of 23, she is a moderately successful ""fixer"" on Corellia. The Hutt, true to his word, visited her six months ago, just as she was moving into her new offices. Upon collecting his ""share"" of her profits, he informed her that she was no longer his slave. She was now a minor ""franchise"" of his criminal empire. ""What is the difference?"", she asked him. ""A franchisee doesn't wear a collar, my dear"", was his response.<br/><br/>Over the course of doing business, Zariah has dealt with the growing Corellian rebellion fairly often, funneling weapons and laundering credits for them under the Empire's nose. In this way she met Domi and the two have a ""business friendship"" of sorts. At first Zariah considered this simply a way to keep Corellian authorities, many of whom are sympathetic to the rebels, off of her back. In time, as she learned more about the Empire, she found a certain satisfaction in joining the fight against them. And though she'd never admit it, she's developed kind of a soft spot for Ghalar the Hutt, as well.<br/><br/>""Zariah Quibb: Female Human Scoundrel 2/Noble 3; Init +2 (+2 Dex); Defense +15 (+3 class, +2 Dex); Spd 10 m; VP/WP 25/10; Atk+5 ranged (3d8/20 or DC 18 stun, Blaster, heavy, range 8 m) or +1/+1 ranged (3d8/20, Blaster, heavy with Multifire, range 8 m); SQ Favor +2, Illicit barter, Inspire Confidence, Lucky (1/day); SV Fort +1, Ref +7, Will +5; SZ M; Rep 1; Str 8, Dex 14, Con 10, Int 16, Wis 14, Cha 16, Challenge Code C.<br/><br/>Skills: Bluff+10, Diplomacy+12, Disable Device+11, Disguise+9, Forgery+8, Gamble+7, Gather Information+10, Hide+10, Knowledge (streetwise)+8, Listen+7, Move Silently+9, Search+8, Sense Motive+10, Sleight of Hand+7, Spot+7.<br/><br/>Feats: Influence, Stealthy, Trustworthy, Weapon Group Proficiency (blaster pistols), Weapon Group Proficiency (simple weapons).""<br/><br/>Languages: Basic, Huttese, Rodian, Ryl"

Should of seen it coming but didn’t my commo man went down in that on at lest it was a quick death I got hit but my demo and medic mats pulled me out as C was working on me E was hit and went down he was beyond help we got out and away from the rebels we were out number and out gunned but we had a mission to complete. It took us 2 days to fine the camp we watched it for a day to the lay of the camp down. The next night we went in to gather Intel and walked in the biggest trap ever the whole camp was weighting for us C went down in the first attack I got in to the camp getting miner hits and a little shaking from the last blast. I saw a swoop bike I got on and got out of town so to say it was to good to be true and it was a bout 2 k from the camp it desided to tell me it didn’t like me so it blow up I was thrown from it the rebels found the wreck and though I was dead so they left. I think a few days later I was found by a survey team they I don’t remember much after that I think I was out for a long wile when I woke my entire left arm an right hand was replaced and the bones in booth of my legs were shattered the doc sad she put metal bones in cause the lags were still in prate good shape but she sad she did inhence the muscle in them to take the new weight of them. She told me she found a strange device in me when she scanned me and took it out I told her I didn’t know what it was. I was there for a few month’s. When I was fully healed I didn’t fell the need to go back to the republic like a burden was lifted from me I didn’t fill the pull like I did before that is when I stared to really think on my own the doc help me along in a lot of ways.

He promptly stole the handheld computer the splcer had been using, seeing it as payment for all the business the splicer had been getting on Kaleb's accomplishments and the tapped into the central police computer.  it wouldn't be too long before his crimes were erased from the computers, and the Slicer from before wasn't caught on a street corner, but because he tried to hack into the local Galactic bank branch and got caught by the first level of security... an embarassment for any slicer.  Without any crimes on his record, he walked out of the police station, saying he had been visiting a prisoner who had stolen from him, to rub it in the prisoner's face that he finally got caught..  The security personel were not happy about this until he informed them he was a Duro splicer, at which time they let him out of the police station without further troubles.<br/>With his newly aquired computer, he set out on a brand new wave of Imperial sabotogue, this was around the time he was asked at one point to get the security codes of a captain of a military base, he not only got the codes of the captain, but changed the profile to fit another person’s physical descriptions and insure the captain was arrested under another name, insuring he couldn’t show up for a few weeks to screw up the mission, whatever it was they were doing.  This action got him hired into the Corellian Resistance movement.  He was mostly involved in the intel side of the operations, but his extreme technical skills makes it rather appropriate for him to sometimes end up in the commando section, when the computers can’t be hacked from the outside.<br/><br/>Age: 27<br/>Height: 5’10<br/>Weight: 160 lbs.<br/>Hair: Black and cut short<br/>Eyes: Brown<br/>Build: Medium<br/>Other stats: 7 7/8”<br/>"

Not comedy, but not a drama either. Rather than delving into the characters psyche to uncover what past sadness drives them to do what they do, i'd concentrate on action, suspense and fan-service.

And for Kali, one of the most feared of all the Battle Lords, her throne room was particularly luxurious. A raised altar sat at the back of the room against the middle of the wall. Atop it was a large golden chair topped with soft purple cushions. The floor was covered with fine red carpeting, and countless pillows covered it so Kali's personal servants could rest comfortably between uses by their master. Though there were several computer displays lining the walls, the main purpose of the room was to allow the Battle Lord to relax in comfort and have easy access to the rest of the ship. From this room, the Kali was never more than half a minute away from any vital area of the ship.<br/><br/>Currently, her massive frame was seated in her chair with her head resting against her arm. She seemed to be more interested in what was on the screen before her than what was happening in the room, which said a lot about her. Two naked, distinctly human females were servicing her erect foot-long penis. She was otherwise fully clothed, and despite the oral attention, seemed disinterested in the service she received. Both of the girls, who appeared to be high school students, were dressed in exquisite silk garbs so that they might fit easily in an Arabian palace. Their clothing was quite easily transparent, however, and both wore black leather collars signifying their status as slaves. They both happened to be victims of the first kidnappings in Unicron and were amongst several that Kali personally chose as her property. And yet, she was far more interested in the redheaded superheroine on her monitor."

His steed, fresh from a glorious victory (that of course would be attributed to Lord Omaru himself) bore him and his concubine through space at a smooth, rapid clip, adorned with magnificent barding. Gem-encrusted golden chains took the place of the usual leather straps on her harness, and her mohawk was style to perfection. Her face was a mask of ferocity, surely a sign of her proud bearing.<br/><br/>Of course, in reality the chains were even less comfortable than the leather straps, and Warhorse's expression had more to do with her loathing of such debased treatment than pride in being the ""proud steed"" of Omaru. Still, she had learned years ago that overt rebellion against her duty was quite useless, so she bore her burden to the best of her ability, gracefully landing upon the enormous flagship of the Battle Lord Kali. Expecting her passengers to depart, she was surprised as the insistent whip of Omaru drove her forward into the ships interior, coaxing her along at a soft trot into the very center of the ship. The throne room of Kali herself. Her eyes widened with a mix of awe and surprise as she saw the true magnificence of Kali in person, her long, graceful form laying in repose as two earth-slaves serviced her. Their eyes seemed to meet for a moment, causing Warhorse to blush intensely and look away. Her mind was brought back to her predicament as her reigns were suddenly pulled back, yanking her head back in a most undignified manner. She brought the chariot to a stop, kneeling obediently in front of it as was customary, while Omaru and his consort exited the vehicle.<br/><br/>Lord Omaru bowed deeply to his superior, his concubine falling prostrate before Kali. Speaking with a rich, formal baritone, he addressed the throne. ""Your Excellency, I have come as fast as my steed could carry me to answer your summons. Your loyal retainer humbly basks in your prescence, ready to hear your will."" He smiled to himself as he saw Kali enjoying the video of Scarlet Sentinel's humiliating defeat.

Removing a small brush from his cloak, he bid her to rise to her feet as he brushed her skin lightly to remove any dust that may have settled. The brushing was quick, and the rapid stimulation soon had Xeela's nipple standing out quite prominently. Taking her by her reigns, he trotted her out before Kali, taking her through a brief demonstration trot before bringing her to a halt a few feet away from the throne. Quietly, he removed her bit and released her arms.<br/><br/>Xeela stood rigid, nervous under the watchful eye of Kali. her cheeks were flush with a mixture of embarassment at having been displayed (she hated trotting for an audience) and a strange feeling she felt when Kali's eyes were upon her.

Her eyes carefully looked over every inch of Xeela's body, making the woman feel as if she were a piece of meat being sized up by a butcher. At least, the woman simply spoke, ""Do you know who I am, steed? Do you tremble before my mighty visage? It would appear you know well enough not to look into the eyes of your betters.""

It seemed as if Kali meant for the question to be rhetorical as she did not wait for answers before continuing. ""I do not need to see your deeds to tell you have strength. The trained eye can see beyond such scientific measurements as 'muscle mass' and such and truly see the strength of another being. The universe is governed by power. The strong conquer the weak.

Even before Warhorse had given her order to the boy, the Sentinel had a good idea of what she was planning.<br/><br/>Still, the exact words caused her to squint. For a moment, she half-wished the boy would refuse as death might've been a better option, but her sensibility quickly reminded her of how foolhardy an option that was. As the boy moved between her legs, she looked at him and sighed. ""This is what I get for defending truth and justice, huh?"" When her words caused the boy to hesitate, she twitched and was about to tell him to do it, considering his life more important, but he was already inside her before she could speak.<br/><br/>The penetration caused her to jump, but she refused to moan out.

Well, at least this 'charming boy' would still prefer my company over that of a slut like... Oh, don't suck my nipple like that!""

Whether he was too wrapped up in what he was doing or just didn't care, he came inside of the heroine. A loud whine of protest came out of Yoko's lips and was directed into the sex clamped onto her mouth. She wiggled her hips mightily, shaking from side to side to expel the manhood within her, but she could not shake him free.<br/><br/>Worse, the combined events occurring had distracted her, and she hadn't even caught that her orgasm was quickly building up again!

Unable to hold back, she arched her back and cried out as her orgasm was ripped from her much to her dismay.

She stayed at the cusp for a few heady moments before the sudden sharp pressure of Yoko's teeth pulling across her sensitiive inner folds caused her to cry out in sudden shock, followed by a massive orgasm that left her shuddering on top of her new toy, flooding her mouth with sweet alien juices until she had nothing left.

But don't worry; you'll have no trouble finding others walking around in that getup.""<br/><br/>However, despite her bravado she was still quite helpless, and Warhorse had little trouble in hefting her up and carrying her to the railing where she was quickly bound. To this, Yoko growled and pulled on the ropes. She had almost regained enough of her strength to break normal bindings, but this rope stood steadfast under her attempts.

To be called back so soon was bad enough, but worse still was what she knew awaited her. The forboding silhouette of her master's command vessel grew rapidly closer as she sped towards her waiting humiliation. She flew at top speed, knowing that delay would only make matters worse.<br/><br/>Landing gracefully on the ship, she found two handlers waiting for her there. She made no moves to resist as they approached, but one of them threw a small restraining loop around her just in case. With a casual gruffness normally associated with handling animals, her arms were roughly fastened tightly to her harness behind her, and a leather bit was shoved into her mouth and fastened to her head. The restraining loop was released as she was led by her reigns into the ship's stable to be prepared. Her handlers walked her down to the cleansing stall, a sterile white room with tiny drain holes in the floor and a large restraining rack in the center. Nozzles for various hoses extended from the walls. Her arm restraints and harness were removed roughly as she was locked into the restraints, now completely nude. With a bored, disinterested look, the two female attendants turned the hoses on her, spraying her down with cold water and washing the sweat and other fluids from her skin before lathering her down with sponges and shampooing her hair. While some would find it luxurious to be bathed by servants, Xeela knew that these were not her servants. She was being bathed like a common beast, at the command of her master, and she hated every second of it. After another cool rinse to wash away the lather, she was left alone for a few minutes, silentl seething at her humiliating treatment. Another attendant entered to dry her off, his hands lingering briefly around her breasts as he sponged away the moisture from her skin. He left abruptly, returning a few moments later with a fresh harness and two more attendants, much larger this time, who held her in place as they locked her back into her harness, boots, and bit.<br/><br/>Her preparations finally over, she was led to the chariot room and lashed to Omaru's finest chariot and left to wait for his arrival. It seemed like she was there forever, bound to this humiliating service, watching as stable boys and guards peeked at her degrading harness and laughed amongst themselves. Finally, Sub-Commander Omaru entered the room accompanied by his favorite consort, who favored Warhorse with a spiteful grin as she entered the chariot beside Omaru. Grabbing the reins, he snapped them dismissively. ""Hyah! Onward to the Excellency's vessel! She would have words with her greatest servant! Make haste!"" he commanded, the bay doors opening for Warhorse to speed through space once more, bearing the dread chariot of Omaru through the inky vacuum."

Through genetic research, they were able to create hosts that could accept their genetic material.<br/><br/>However, that research was not carried out on their own race.<br/><br/>Over the last 10 generations, the Righteous Warriors of Toshio have spread over 12 star systems, conquering populace after populace, modifying each to serve as brood mothers for their offspring. Each invasion started as the last: a small scout ship would be sent to an alien world carrying the most elite warriors of their race. These warriors would be in charge of studying each race, conquering a small portion of the planet, determining how to breed with its populace, and establishing a foothold to use as a launch point for a full-scale invasion. Once done, a signal would be sent to the main fleet to begin the invasion. Failure was not tolerated. If a scout ship failed, it would be abandoned as it was assumed the planet was too advanced to be worth invading and the fleet would move on to the next target.<br/><br/>Now, they have arrived at Earth. Led by the Battle Lord Kalli, the Warriors have targeted the most advanced city on the planet to be the focal point of their invasion. After all, if it fell, they thought the rest of the planet would fall in line. Little did they know that Unicron City was possibly the only city on the planet capable of defending itself against their hordes.<br/><br/><strong>Command Structure</strong><br/><br/>Commander: Battle Lord Kali(GM controlled) - Kali is one of the finest warriors of her race. She has successfully led the invasion of 2 star systems to date. While she is a merciless commander, she is an even more merciless fighter. She stands at 6'6'', is dark-skinned, and her muscular frame does not fully display the true limits of her strength. It has been said that she has ripped apart starships with her bare hands. She has also been genetically modified to have the genitalia of a man as she enjoys personally impregnating female warriors that fall before her.<br/><br/>Command-level warriors: Beneath Kali are her commanders (the roles the player will assume). They are highly-trained soldiers possessing a wide variety of skills to assist their commander in whatever task she needs them for.<br/><br/>Dr. Otto Otaku : One of the foremost genetic researchers of his race and the head scientist in Kali's forces. He has modified himself with eight phallic tentacles so that he can work at maximum efficiency on his rather unwilling subjects."

It will be updated along the way as well with any additional rules or rules changes made during the game. I will also be adding clarifications if there are questions commonly asked about a specific rule. I will add a new post at the bottom each time there is a rules update. Make sure to read this thread thoroughly to avoid any confusion on the system.<br/><br/>System: Big Breasts, Small Waist - http://zara.verge-rpg.com/bbsw-plain.html<br/><br/><strong>Clarifications</strong><br/><br/>Attributes:<br/><br/>- There is no Mind stat. That was just a joke by the game's creator.<br/><br/>- Breast and penis size does not need to be followed entirely to the letter. In other words, if you want to purchase ""Big Breasts,"" but feel that a C cup is big enough for that, you can do so. As a rule of thumb, you can drop 1 size using this.<br/><br/>Advantages:<br/><br/>- Power Bases support your other powers. You can’t have a level 3 power, for instance, without a level 3 power base. In addition, they also give you access to certain secondary abilities. In and of themselves, though, they don’t give you any combat powers.<br/><br/>Disadvantages:<br/><br/>- Crybaby is rather poorly defined, but you're looking at for an idea of how to write this in as a disadvantage something similar to:<br/><br/>(X  ) Roll 1d10 and beat 1 to avoid losing a turn.<br/>(XX ) Beat 2 to avoid losing a turn.<br/>(XXX) Beat 3 to avoid losing a turn.<br/><br/>Skills:<br/><br/>- Only one skill may be applied to any roll.<br/><br/>Powers:<br/><br/>- Enhanced attacks may only be attached to a singular power.<br/>- Weaponry cannot stack with enhanced attack.<br/>- Summoning weaponry does not cost a turn and weapon remains in play until the end of combat/opponent disarms you.<br/>- Only one weapon can be used at a time for a combat roll.<br/><br/>Combat:<br/><br/>- You cannot purchase ""recover all potency points"" mid-combat. That'd just be silly.<br/><br/>Initiative:<br/><br/>- Initiative is determined by 1d10+body+Speed level.<br/><br/><strong>Modifications</strong><br/><br/>Attributes:<br/><br/>- The teenager alterator has been removed from the game as nobody can have a character under the age of 16.<br/><br/>Advantages:<br/><br/>- Shemale only costs 1 CP to purchase and there is only 1 level of it. You<strong>do not</strong>gain twice as many points in looks from both breast size and penis size. Instead, both are controlled by the same stat, so you can have D cup breasts and a penis 8-9 inches long.<br/><br/>- The ""Psychic"" power base may be purchased to use mental powers, or you can label it as ""Psionic."" Mental powers work in general as follows:<br/><br/>Psychic/Psionic Power Base:<br/><br/>(X  ) Basic Telepathy<br/>(XX ) Full mind-reading<br/>(XXX) Telekenisis<br/><br/>Disadvantages:<br/><br/>- The following sexual insanities are not allowed for either violating the site rules or violating good taste.<br/><br/>- Coprophilia (Eating body waste)<br/>- Geroniophilia (Older people)<br/>- Necrophilia (Dead people)<br/>- Pedophilia (Younger people)<br/>- Uridpsomania (Drink urine)<br/>- Zoophilia (Animals)<br/><br/>Powers:<br/><br/>- The following power is available for those with the Psychic/Psionic power base:<br/><br/>Mind Control:<br/><br/>You have a form of energy attack that damages a person's mind rather than body. Instead of the body stat, this attack affects the talk stat. If talk is reduced to 0, the player must roll 1d10 and beat the attacker's talk stat to avoid being controlled.<br/><br/>(X  ) 1d<br/>(XX ) 2d<br/>(XXX) 3d<br/><br/>- Intelligence works as a defense against mind control attacks, however, traditional armor does not.<br/><br/>- The following power is available for villains:<br/><br/>Lackeys:<br/><br/>Your very own putty patrol. These are the scrubs the heroine gets to beat up before facing the big baddy.<br/>Lackeys are formed with 1/3 owner's total CP rounded down. Potency is calculated with 1/2 body.<br/>You can't fight at the same time as lackeys<br/>Unlike summon creatures, you don't run a check to determine if they appear and there's no potency cost. However, you also can't use this more than once per fight.<br/><br/>(X) 1 Lackey<br/>(XX ) 2 Lackeys<br/>(XXX) 3 Lackeys"

The planetary leaders, seeking to appease the invaders in hopes that they would be left in peace, gave the young daughters of their poorer citizens to the invaders as slaves. Xeela was taken as a personal slave by one of the most notorious sub-commanders of the invasion force, Omaru. She was modified heavily and trained, giving her incredible durability, amazing strength, and the ability to fly. She wondered why her captors would give her such power...she would soon find out.<br/><br/>Her training began soon after she recovered from the modifications. Over the span of years she was taught martial arts, the use of her powers, and, oddly enough...cart pulling. Bound and dressed in a humiliating harness, she was trained to be the cart horse of Omaru, pulling his dread Celestial Chariot across the sky, sometimes into battle, often for simple joy rides. She despises this duty, but is unable to refuse because of the obedience collar she wears. She is particularly disdainful of the bit she must wear. It should be noted that Omaru has never made any sexual advances towards her. She simply pulls his chariot. The resulting sexual frustration drives her to obsession with sex whenever she is off-duty.<br/><br/>Recently, she was loosed from her bonds and given leave to act as Omaru's agent, engaging the enemy and pacifying enemy troops. Earth has amassed unusually strong defenses, and every asset must be massed against them. She relishes these assignments, as it gives her the opportunity to release her pent-up humiliation and anger.<br/><br/><strong>Looks</strong>: Xeela looks more or less human, with pale peach skin and black hair that has been shorn into a mohawk. She stands 5'11"" tall and has a strong, athletic build showing the fine, hard curves of toned muscles, though she is obviously stronger than she looks. A prominent silver ring pierces the labret of her nose like a ranch animal, and she has strange, alien tattoos cover her arms, back, breasts, and stomach, marking her as the property of Omaru. These tattoos appear black normally, but glow strangely under starlight.<br/><br/>When called to pull the space chariot of Sub-Commander Omaru, she wears a bridle and headgear set with straps so that she can be driven by her Master. The chariot itself is fastened to a complex web of straps that she wears which loop around her legs and support her breasts, leaving her nipples and vulva exposed. Her arms are fastened behind her and attached to her torso harness. Pointed leather boots, thigh-high and with stiletto heels, complete the outfit.<br/><br/>While she hates being used as a beast of burden, she has developed quite a taste for exhibitionism as a result of her service. Given free reign to dress herself when she acts as an agent, she wears only her collar and leather harness, letting her arms roam free. She delights in the humiliation of her enemies, glad to be on the other side of the equation for once.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Arrogant, imperious, bullying. She delights in using her superior strength and striking power to overwhelm opponents before having her way with them.<br/><strong><br/>Personal Ons/Offs (or link to thread in the Ons/Offs forum)</strong>: MY offs are mostly site limits...no blood, gore, infantilism, etc. Ons include bondage of various types, anal sex, and deep throating.

The latter of the two many many times stronger than kevlar.  The strength enhancers allow Anna to bench press about 400 tons, and squat about 600 tons.  A 747 Jumbo Jet weighs in at about 400 tons, and an eighteen wheeler at about 80 tons.<br/><br/>Once the invasion on Unicron city was announced it was only inevitable that Anna move there to help protect the city and the Earth from the alien invasion under the guise of S.W.A.T.<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'11""<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>170 lbs.<br/><strong>Hair:</strong>Blonde<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Blue<br/><strong>Build:</strong>Athletic lightly muscled (think Anna Kournikova)<br/><strong>Bra size:</strong>C-cup<br/><strong>Costume:</strong>A dark blue unitard (covering neck to ankles), with knee-high, blue boots, and blue elbow length gloves.  The costume has a hole at the top letting the superheroine climb into the second-skin without the problem of a pesky zipper.  Her mask is likewise a dark blue, covering her forehead down to the tops over her cheeks.  It seems to be held on by nothing as if stuck to or a part of her face. There's a golden shield on the middle of her chest, resembling a police shield. Also she has a T-style tonfa attached to her right thigh, made for easy access in desperate situations.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>She's a superheroine with a brain.  She likes to think things through before getting involved in a fight.  Would it be better to make herself known and taunt the badguys or sneak down and take them out before they know she's there?  Oftentimes she opts for the former in subconcious hopes of getting nailed between the legs (with a bat or fist), or getting chloroformed. Also she's got a real since of duty to her job and to the people of the world.  Her first mission is protecting them, above anything else.<br/><strong><em>Personal Ons/Offs:</em></strong><strong>Ons:</strong>Chloroform, injections, knock outs.  Minor bondage (arms tied above head, legs free, vice versa...something creative).  Molestation through the costume, and forced orgasms as well.

Makasashi Kynamura had a plan for her future and his, one that had no place for a matornal influence. Somehow, he ran Amora's mother off, then he struck a fell bargain with Agloth the Destroyer, the demon he hoped would make him a dread spellcaster and fulfill his burning need for ramen.<br/>The deal was struck one moonless night. Makasashi Kynamura's innocent, young, virginal daughter Makasashi Amora, for a never ending bowl of ramen and power beyond his imagination. Both demon and man felt well served, while young Amora, knowing little of the world and demons and magic, yet filled with a daughter's dutifulness did as she was bade and went with the infernal creature.<br/>Thus began Amora's introduction to a life of sexual servitude and demonic indulgences. She cried, fought and did all she could to preserve her innocence and purity but it was to no avail. As time passed, so did the weeping and wailing. As Amora grew from a child to a young woman she learned to expect then enjoy the uses her demon Master put her to. She became a lurid, lisentious creature who existed soley to satisfy the needs of her Lord and herself.<br/>This well pleased Agloth and he sought to make his pet someone who could /literally/ be all he desired. Through dread mystic rites and cruel, relentless training, he awakened Amora's latent Psychic abilities. First, she was taught to reach out and connect with the mind of another. Agloth saw it as 'helping' her learn how to cater to his every whim. Then came true Mind Reading, where she learned to see others as open books whose experience and memories were hers to peruse at her leasure. It pleased Agloth to watch his precious pet wreasting his enemies darkest secrets from the depths of their minds. Telekinesis she developed on her own, an outgrowth of the training that honed her will and made her mind a weapon.<br/>As Amora developed these powers she found herself able to realize her imaginings in her flesh and form. She could become any man, woman or creature her Lord had a taste for. She learned to work changes in her mortal coil so that she could be all that was required of her and more. As she perfected the art of many forms, Amora grew to desire her freedom and a chance to find the one thing ever absent in her life, her mother.<br/>So Amora hatched a clever scheme to slip free of Agolth's clutches. It was a harrowing ordeal but in the end she flew to Unicron City seeking a woman she'd long forgot. She spares not a  thought for the father who consigned her to a life of torment and foul use, but knowing her old man as she does, she doesn't think the two will not meet again.<br/><br/>PERSONALITY<br/>Amora is an odd mix of behaviors and mannerisms. She's bold and uninhibitted, having come to maturity in an environment that valued shameless sensuality and wanton abandon with no reguard to human mores and taboos. She was taught that all appetites are to be indulged and no pleasure is to be refused. She can be voracious, sexually, having an inexhaustable hunger for sensation and joy.<br/><br/>Amora is completely amoral, impetuous and selfish. She'd be used to indulging her urges, without qualms about the effect her behavior has on others. She wouldn't call herself 'Bad' but just about anyone witnessing her actions would be hard pressed not to call them evil.<br/><br/>APPEARANCE:<br/>Whatever form she wears, Amora can't help but be incredibly cute. Bright, bubbly and fun loving, she's the type that brightens up a room when she enters it. The epitome of 'Kawaii', she's got a way about her that can be quite endearing.<br/>Today, Amora is a slim, slender japanese girl with long blue-black hair. Her bangs hang low on her brow while her dark hair flows full and straight all the way down her back to brush against her shapely tush . She has a lovely heart shaped face and big, blue eyes.<br/>Amora's body is full and lush with nice, womanly curves. Her breasts are soft, well rounded and perky. Her waist is tight and trim while her hips are nicely padded and curvateous.

She is slightly muscular and there is very little fat on her body.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>Yoko's parents are both accomplished scientists who moved to Unicron City at its inception. Her father is Japanese and her mother is American. Though she might not be quite the genius her father is, she is still quite intelligent and has taken to her parents' philosophy of approaching situations from a cold, logical point of view.<br/><br/>That combination of intelligence and athleticism led to her becoming one of the most popular and top students at Unicron High. In her Senior year now, she is captain of the girl's softball team, a member of the volleyball team, and is ranked 3rd overall in her class. Despite her popularity, she rarely revels in it. Rather, she has taken a very pessimistic viewpoint towards it believing that most who are friendly with her do so only to gain status, or in the case of boys, to get into her pants. Thankfully, she has inherited her mother's personality as well, so though her mind can be as cold as her father's, it usually comes out in more of a dry wit than anything.<br/><br/>Origin:<br/><br/>Yoko's life was changed forever the day the Invasion began. Her father's lab was one of the initial targets of attack. Her father had been working on a revolutionary type of ""suit"" that utilized nano-technology to form a light metallic armor around the user when called that could also be recalled into storage when not in use. Knowing of the device, Yoko took it for herself to help defend her father. Although she was successful in repelling the attackers, there were many consequences that would come from her actions.<br/><br/>Fortunately, she was of sound enough mind to take the device to one of her father's assistants, Rika Masaki, rather than reveal to her father that she had used it. Rika agreed to keep this knowledge from her father, but only if she agreed to help her test the suit to discover the affects of its use. Unfortunately, the suit had still been in testing when she originally used it, and there was an unforeseen issue with it. The nanites seemed to bond specifically to her, and thus she was the only one who could use the suit.<br/><br/>With no way of transferring the suit to another user and no time to immediately prepare a second one, Yoko was forced to enter the role the press created for her: The Scarlet Sentinel. It was a nickname given to her by the Unicron Daily News for the scarlet red armored suit she wore, as both the government and press had trumpeted her as their savior. After all, it had been the one bright spot that had come about on the first day of the Invasion as only she had been able to defeat any of the Invaders.<br/><br/>Now she is stuck with a role she does not want, another following she does not want, and a nemesis she does not want, for though Battle Lord Kali does not specifically target her, she sees the Sentinel as the symbol of Earth's resistance and was determined to impale her on her phallus for the entire Earth to witness so they would know their rightful place before the Righteous Order.<br/><br/>Powers:<br/><br/>Yoko's powers come entirely from her suit. The suit itself is not full-body, but rather is made up of several parts: a helmet open in the front with a transparent visor that had a computer readout for its user, the main breastplate, elbow-high gauntlets, knee-high boots, and what essentially equated to ""metallic underwear."" That was Yoko's second least favorite part of the outfit; her least favorite being the thong she had to wear underneath it. She had never been a fan of thongs. The breastplate, helmet, and ""underwear"" are all mostly red, while the boots and gloves are both white with red trim. The helmet is decorate with a gold ""V.""<br/><br/>For actual powers, the suit enhances all of Yoko's motor functions, allowing her to move quicker and dodge faster. In addition, it allows her to produce a sword and use energy projectiles. Most importantly, the hard synthetic metal that comprises the suit serves as one of the strongest personal armors ever created by man. When transformed, Yoko's hair changes red and her eyes blue to help protect her true identity.<br/><br/>Character Sheet:<br/><br/>Total: 12 CP<br/><br/>Body: 5(7)<br/>Looks: 6<br/>Talk: 6<br/><br/>Potency: 7(9) (+1)<br/>Climax: 6<br/><br/>Attribute Alterators<br/><br/>(XX ) Strong: +2 Body<br/>(X  ) Good Reputation: +1 Talk<br/>(X  ) Big Breasts: +1 looks<br/>(X  ) Intelligence: Smart.

Quite honestly, the PERV experts don’t know, but they’ve watched enough anime to know it’s the truth!<br/><br/>Life has always been a tad difficult for high school senior Nobu Yamazaki. All her life, she’s had to conceal two things from all her friends: first, she’s got magical powers, and second, she is really a shemale. Births in magical families can often become complicated things, and Nobu’s was more than usual. Originally a set of twins in the womb, when an assassin, wanting revenge on her father (a powerful mage and hero in his own right), attacked his pregnant wife. As a result of this attack, Nobu’s mother, while surviving, couldn’t sustain both magical children, and so the twins, already somewhat cognizant of the situation, bound themselves together and became one. Needless to say, this was met by her parents with a mix of wonder and bewilderment; nevertheless, they have always accepted her for who she is.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, recognizing the need to conceal their powers, and thus Nobu’s condition, they taught her from an early age to release the tension built up from her twin aspects through magic, and, to a lesser extent, martial arts. Though not particularly skilled at the latter, Nobu proved to have immense potential in the former, for, as it turned out, she had the combined magical potency of both of her twin sides. However, this did not come without price, for Nobu happens to also have the sex drive of both halves. Still, her rational mind realized that to reveal herself in any meaningful way to anyone would mean blowing their cover, and risking another attack like the one that initially formed her. With the responsibility of her family’s lives on her shoulders, Nobu instead buried herself in her studies, both academic and arcane, releasing her sexual tension in ever more potent lances of magic. But now, finally, it has come time for Nobu to face her destiny. Will she be able to save the human race? Will she be able to stop hiding from what she truly is? Will she escape with her virginity? (Likely answers being Yes, Yes, and HELL NO.)<br/><br/>Looks<br/><br/>Nobu is best described as adorable. With extremely big doe eyes, long, silken auburn hair that can, at times, get in her eyes, and soft, creamy pale skin that seems almost luminous in the right lighting, her submissive, shy demeanor shines through to make her look absolutely adorable, especially in her blue, rather voluminous schoolgirl outfit (she purposely buys her tops a size too large so as to divert any unwanted attention away from her to more willing, flashy girls), her appearance giving her the wide-eyed look of innocence that almost instantly puts others at ease around her.<br/><br/>Despite the obvious appearance, however, she actually possesses a great body, desperately as she tries to hide it. Due to a naturally high metabolism, her body is quite fit, though not necessarily possessing unusual strength. She has long legs in comparison to her height, though she stands at a mere 5’2”, and her breasts, at a well-filled C, might find envy in her less endowed classmates, were she not so persistent in hiding them. Her masculine equipment is likewise fairly-sized, though, truthfully, she has no comparison, and tries not to think about that too much, instead worrying, when such matters come up, how to keep her skirt down and modestly positioned. Finally, perhaps as a strange side effect of the merging, Nobu lacks hair altogether from the neck down.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, she is capable of assuming a look of fierce determination, and, as a side effect of her magical potency, sometimes her brown eyes will shift colors to reflect extreme emotion: red for anger and hatred, blue for depression or despair, green for lust and arousal, yellow for joy or happiness, and pink for acute embarrassment.<br/><br/>http://www.silentrival.com/wallpaper.htm (lower left hand corner pic of Kasumi)<br/><br/>Personality<br/><br/>Nobu is, generally speaking, the quiet, smart, shy girl who sits in the corner and who rarely ever gets noticed compared to the more daring and outgoing girls in her class. A longtime classmate of the Scarlet Sentinel, she and Yoko used to be good friends (in fact, since their youth, Nobu has had a secret crush on her, but to this day still has trouble admitting it to herself) in their childhood, until finally Nobu began to feel uncomfortable with the crowd that always surrounded Nobu. While a sweet and caring girl, she often has trouble expressing her emotions, and feels acutely awkward in social situations involving two or more other people, always feeling at her best in one-on-one conversations, though she secretly hopes one day to be as confident as her old friend, far away as they have drifted.<br/><br/>However, despite all her general social awkwardness, Nobu has a largely untapped well of courage and compassion. She finds herself highly empathetic to others emotions, perhaps a side effect of her magical powers, and will rarely pass up the chance to give help or solace to a soul in true need, and will never be able to turn away from a situation where someone is in real trouble, so much so that she will be unhesitating in risking her life to save those of others. Her courage, while not the most obvious, overt brand, gives her a kind of quiet force which can make the otherwise unassuming schoolgirl suddenly seem very, very formidable.<br/><br/>Notes: For those among you who read Akamatsu’s work, think of an older, more mature Shinobu (Love Hina) or Nodoka (Negima).<br/><br/>Personal Ons/Offs<br/>Ons (in no particular order whatsoever):<br/>-fantasy/medieval setting/supernatural elements in the modern world<br/>- romance<br/>- seduction<br/>- f/f<br/>- f/herm (obviously)<br/>-herm/herm<br/>- foreplay<br/>- gratification denial (I’m usually on the giving end, but I can see this character having this done to her…)<br/>- tentacles (since I’m in this game, I suppose I really didn’t need to mention it, did I?)<br/>- tension (perhaps mistrust or outright hatred between characters, or internal conflict of desires vs. fears, etc.)<br/>- roleplaying beyond just having sex in every scene (I know, this one may be a shocker… *cheeky grin*)<br/>- character development<br/>- possibility for redeeming evil characters/tempting good characters<br/><br/>Offs (again, in no particular order whatsoever):<br/>- mindless, sex-drenched games that don’t even attempt at a sembalance of a plot<br/>- bad spelling and grammar (the occasional misspelling I don’t mind, but consistent misspelling and syntax that leave the meaning horribly mangled are real offs)<br/>- site limits (they covered most of them fairly nicely…)<br/>- m/m (Yes, yes, I know, I’m a completely hypocritical chauvinist pig.

06:06:38",Xilos,"<strong>Age:</strong>18<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'8''<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>168 lbs (mostly in her breasts and male parts)<br/><strong>Hair:</strong>Pink<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Blue<br/><strong>Bust:</strong>44 FFF<br/><strong>Real Name:</strong>Suzumeiko Sachi<br/><strong>Villainess Name:</strong>Lady Lascivious<br/><br/><strong>Photo:</strong>http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/index.php?title=Image:Sachi3.jpg<br/><br/><strong>HISTORY:</strong><br/>Sachi’s mother, Keiko, a great magician was experimenting with the possibility of inter-planer pregnancy, and had been testing her theories for years.  On their planet, it was believed that a being from one plane could never conceive a child with a being from another plane, as the result would probably be catastrophic.  Keiko was undaunted by this and through enough herbs, magic, alchemy, and intercourse was able to give birth to Sachi.<br/><br/>Sachi is in this way, a half-breed, created from the union of her mother, and some creature (or more likely a bunch of creatures) from the Infernal Plane of Sexual Depravity.  The creatures from this realm only possessed grossly oversized male physical qualities and an unending sex drive, and females were completely unknown, while Keiko’s Magery ensured her that she would mother a female whom could continue the bloodline’s study in Magery, since male’s could never inherit mystic traits.   Due to this conflict, Sachi was born female, as her mother predicted, but with disproportionately oversized male sexual organs, in addition to her female sexual organs, as well as a sexual drive to match what the planar creatures were instilled with.<br/><br/>Also as her mother predicted, her skills manipulating planar portals to this realm were remarkable, and grew throughout her childhood at an astonishing rate.  Coupled with her knack for magery gifted to her by her mother, Sachi is a strong blend of magic and sexual psychosis.<br/><br/>It wasn’t long until Righteous Warrior’s of Toshio came to their planet to rape and plunder.  During the skirmishes that ensued, Sachi’s talents were not overlooked, and she was one of those abducted into the grunt force of the Warrior’s.  The young girl has ‘performed’ very well during her time, and ‘pleased’ many of her commanding officer’s with her skill.  Working through the ranks put the Sorceress where she is now, a direct warrior underneath her Lord, Kali, whom she wants nothing more then to make proud.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong><br/>Sachi actually has a fairly pleasant personality.  She is upbeat, bubbly, and keeps a positive outlook on almost all things.  Of course in reality she’s a twisted psycho summoner with a giant cock and softball sized testicles, but she doesn’t see that as any reason not to at least be nice to people before her summoned creatures gangbang them into unconsciousness.<br/><br/>Combat-wise Sachi is actually a fairly large coward.  She would much rather hide behind her minions then get into the thick of things herself.  The sorceress can dish out the punishment fairly well, but would rather not be taking it herself from an opponent.  The exception is of course the denizens of the Infernal Plane of Sexual Depravity.  They die, fight, and fuck for her, so for that reason she has no problem allowing them to screw her seven ways from Sunday when they need to.  Of course like most of Battle Lord Kali’s best Warrior’s, Sachi is a total nymphomaniac who wants nothing more then to screw and impregnate the current target earthlings.<br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong><br/>Sachi appears as a young girl with long pink hair reaching down to her backside, topped with a red bow, soft facial features, and a wide smile.  She has brilliant blue eyes, a slender body and a fairly positive demeanor.  If this were all there was to her, she might even come off as fairly normal.  What is definitely not normal is the mammoth FFF cup breasts that bounce wildly on her frame.  Moving downward it only gets worse.  Between her legs is a seventeen inch, inhuman monstrosity of a penis, along with a pair of testicles the size of ripe grapefruits.  Tied close to the head of her giant organ is a pink stretch of ribbon, tied into a bow.<br/><br/>Her normal wardrobe consists of a sleeveless black and blue top with pink trim, which barely holds in her breasts.  Along her slender arms, beginning at mid bicep and ending at her wrists a pair of purple sleeves are worn, detached from the main portion of the upper torso garb.  A huge pink bow is wrapped about her waist like a belt, and the garb itself comes down below the belt like a makeshift mini-skirt, only extending around halfway down her tight bottom.  Around her neck is a leather collar with a leash that seems to trail down her body and fade into nowhere.  It is a reminder of the pact she has with the citizens of the Infernal Plane of Sexual Depravity.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONAL ONs/OFFs</strong><br/><br/><strong>ONs:</strong><br/>H/H; F/H, H/M (no F/F or M/M

Ew.<br/><br/>Now, for advantages and disadvantages. Tarkuss buys Hybrid (Catgirl) and Very Lucky to reflect the, um, catgirl's nature. Yeah. He also picks one point of Airhead disad, cause catgirls are naturally spaced out.

If it's equal or less than your attribute (plus eventual bonuses and penalties), you succeed. Else, you lose.<br/><br/>Contest<br/><br/>When two characters challenge each other in a contest of willpowers. ""Use the Schwartz"".<br/><br/>Both characters roll d10 and add their attribute. Who gets the largest final score wins.<br/><br/>Example: Seducting a person: Talk vs. Body<br/><br/>Offering yourself up to a person: Looks vs. Body<br/><br/>Combat<br/><br/>There is combat. There is ALWAYS combat. Uuuuuurrrrrrrk. All right, let's make it quick.<br/><br/>* You usually hit automatically, unless the other side has the Combative advantage. In that case, roll vs. Body.<br/><br/>* You do damage equal to Body + 1d10. Subtract the victim's Body from the roll.<br/><br/>* The remaining is docked from the victim's Potency.<br/><br/>* When anyone's Potency falls below 0, he or she falls unconscious.<br/><br/>CRITICAL HIT: If you roll a 1 on the hit roll, you have hit critically! Roll on the Critical Hit Table and apply the result.<br/><br/>CRITICAL MISS: If you roll a 0 on the hit roll, you have missed badly. Roll on the Critical Miss Table and apply the result. (hee hee)<br/><br/>The Wild Thing<br/>First Edition Rules<br/>Each intercourse drains 1 Potency point per person involved, +1 per style beyond the first. Extra drains can be applied if heavy S&M is involved.<br/><br/>As long as a person has Potency, they can keep going for extra round. When a partner runs out of Potency, he's exhausted and falls asleep until Potency is positive again.<br/><br/>Second Edition Rules<br/>Every turn, subtract 1d10 from each sex partner that's being, um, sexually excited's Climax. There are some bonuses and penalties to that roll:<br/><br/>Manual Excitation   -4<br/>Oral Excitation      -2<br/>Deep Impact Excitation   +2 (depending on person)<br/>Objects         See 'Equipment'<br/><br/>The partners can also take the following actions:<br/><br/>Hold Up: Roll against the current Climax score or Body, whichever's lower. If succeeded, lose no Climax points on this round. If failed, lose double.<br/><br/>Scream Out: Roll against Talk. If succeeded, lose no Climax points on this round. If failed, lose double.<br/><br/>Rest: Roll against the current Climax score to leave the fray for a turn and recover 1d10 points.<br/><br/>Mimic: Hey, this is not Final Fantasy! Go do something useful.<br/><br/>CRITICAL HIT: If you roll a 1 on the action roll, you have hit critically! Roll on the Critical Hit Table and apply the result.<br/><br/>CRITICAL MISS: If you roll a 0 on the action roll, you have missed badly. Roll on the Critical Miss Table and apply the result. (hee hee)<br/><br/>Every time a partner's Climax reaches 0, he or she loses Potency as in 1st Edition rules.<br/><br/>Botch (Optional Rule): Whenever the roll results in a negative score, subtract that from your Potency. If your Potency reaches 0, you will have botched the intercourse attempt. Don't worry, it happens to everyone. (hee hee)<br/><br/>Likes and Dislikes (Optional Rule): Not all people like all kinds of stimulus. Roll Talk whenever you're using something unusual: failure means the partner dislikes that particular form of approach, and all apparented items will inflict a reductor to Climax instead of a bonus. Use this with the 'Botch' rule.<br/><br/>Sexperience<br/>So THIS is why there's so much sex in hentai comics! (Well, what did you think?) Sexperience is the only way to advance your character. Various things can earn you SEXP, among them:<br/><br/>Score<br/>Winning a Hard Combat      200-500<br/>Not Getting Hurt In It(Perfect)   500<br/>Brilliant Idea         300-700<br/>Brilliant Pickup Line      500<br/>Saving Your Friends' Butt   500<br/>Worst Excuse for Sex So Far   700<br/>Best Excuse for Sex So Far   1000<br/>Good Roleplaying (very rare!)   500-1500<br/><br/>The main way to earn SEXP, through, is, well, um, sex. Every time you are involved in intercourse with at least ONE other person, you gain a prize in SEXP. The exact prize is complicated to figure out, but that's what good RPGs are about. So, pull out your calculator, and for each partner in each intercourse session, go to the following table:<br/><br/>Score (Multiply by Looks of partner)<br/>Foreplay         100-200<br/>Afterplay         100-200<br/>Masturbation (with partner)   100<br/>High Impact Masturbation   200<br/>Oral            200<br/>Vaginal, Coitus interruptus   300<br/>Anal            400<br/>Vaginal, normal         500<br/>Unusual (hey, you think it up)   600+<br/><br/>Modifier<br/>Regular lover         /2 (sorry, pals)<br/>Fetishism         +50%<br/>Semi-public place      +50%<br/>Public place         +100%<br/>Sadomasochism         +100%<br/>Anything involving tentacles   +100%<br/>Animals involved      +100%<br/>Second Round         +100%<br/>Next rounds         +100%, cumulative (!)<br/>For each virgin participant   x2, cumulative (!!)<br/>Incest involved         x2 (woo hoo!)<br/><br/>How to Spend Sexperience<br/><br/>CP to spend in Advantages/Powers   20000<br/>CP to spend in Attributes      15000<br/>CP to spend in Attributes over 10   15000 + 10000 for each point above 10<br/>CP to spend in Skills         10000<br/>Automatic success in any roll      1000<br/>Recover all Potency points      3000<br/>One-shot Power            2000 x Power level<br/><br/>Example 1: A teacher performs oral sex with six of her students. She loses 7 Potency points in all this - fun fun fun. All of them have Looks 5, so Oral sex is worth 1000 points. The class room is a semi-public place (+50%). Four of them are virgins to oral sex (x2). 1000+50%=1500, 1500x2=3000. Therefore, the teacher gets 1500x2+3000x4=15000.<br/><br/>The teacher has Looks 8.

Whether magical or high tech, you can find all sorts of nasty things that could make Cicciolina blush. Here are some modest examples: (The Pimp is free to create magical or technologic versions of these items)<br/><br/>Automatic Underwear: (Lv. 3) These are panties or shorts capable to 'perform' on their own. They automatically activate when worn, sexually stimulating the user until his or her Potency is reduced to 0 and he/she falls unconscious. The underwear has Body 10, Potency 10 + 2d at start (batteries or magical charges), and deactivates if it runs out of Potency.<br/><br/>Boo Hag Potion: (Lv. 1) A sipping of this potion (or chemical in high tech scenarios) makes everyone seem much more attractive than they really are. Effectively add 1 to the Looks of all people the drinker interacts with. Repeated sippings are less and less effective (2 sippings for another increase, then 4, etc.) The potion lasts until the drinker sleeps (And boy, is he/she in for a surprise when he/she wakes up)<br/><br/>Girdle of Masculinity: (Lv. 2) When a female wears this item, she appears to be a male for all purposes except the Main Weapon, if you know what I mean. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*. All males can automatically see through the illusion, but females will only see through if the user fails in a Talk roll. A male using this item receives a +1 bonus to Body.<br/><br/>Girdle of Masculinity, Mark II: (Lv. 3) When a female wears this item, she effectively is a male as long as it's on: Neither males or females can see through the disguise. Males using this item gain +2 in Body.<br/><br/>Girdle of Feminility: (Lv. 2) As Girdle of Masculinity, but with sexes changed.<br/><br/>Girdle of Feminility, Mark II: (Lv. 3) You get the idea.<br/><br/>X-Ray Specs: (Lv. 3) When wearing these weird glasses, the user sees everyone as naked. The specs will do their magic even on TV or cinema projections (because IT'S FUNNY).<br/><br/>Example Characters<br/>Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion) (12 points)<br/><br/>(-1) Age 14: -2 Body, -1 Talk, +2 Looks<br/>(2) Cute: +1 Talk, +1 Looks<br/>(-2) Pure: -2 Talk<br/><br/>Attributes:<br/>Body:  6 (+3)<br/>Talk:  3 (0)<br/>Looks: 8 (0)<br/><br/>Disadvantages:<br/>(-  ) Airhead: Unattentive<br/><br/>Powers:<br/>(XXX) E.V.A.

Right now, it was helpful to have a distraction she could find solace in for the moment, though the noise coming from her shower kept her from finding complete isolation in her work. When the sound of running water ceased finally, she sighed and tried to brace herself for the conversation she knew was coming. She wasn't very good at things like this.<br/><br/>The click of the bathroom door opening told Rika she was no longer by herself in the room. Rapidly, she worked on finalizing what her approach should be. A few more clicks on her keyboard helped buy her more time to think. The computer came to life with several beeping noises, followed by its mechanical voice saying, ""Update in progress. Please stand by..."" letting the blonde know that she was out of time.<br/><br/>With a sigh, she slowly turned to face her companion. Yoko, clad in a blue bath towel, sat in the sofa in the room across from her. Rika's ""lab"" was actually a converted apartment. The lab room itself was normally concealed behind a false wall, though it was open at the moment. There, in the center of the room, was a twenty-foot tall mechanical device with two blue, metal, frustum-shaped pieces at the top and bottom. They were connected through a glass tube, which currently contained thousands upon thousands of small, mechanical, insect-like devices. They flew about in the container seemingly in the process of some purposeful work foreign to the unfamiliar.<br/><br/>Rotating in her chair, Rika stared past the container towards her living room and the girl sitting there with a stoic face seemingly born of so many mixed emotions that it didn't know which of them to favor. Deciding the best strategy for now was not to breach the subject, Rika interrupted the silence. ""I should have the update finished in about twenty minutes. I've managed to increase the power output of the suit by 10%. It should help if you run into that freak again.""<br/><br/>This drew a nod from the girl, though it did little else. This wasn't going to be easy, much as Rika suspected."

Those who know of such things would recognize him as an Azurin, a rare type of human who is born blessed with the gift to meld the very stuff souls are woven from. His height of 6’4”, platinum-white hair, and fair skin give him an over all imposing appearance, only enhanced by the ring of 6 evenly spaced purple flames that dance about his head.<br/><br/>Amir is usually dressed in sturdy leathers, which he makes from the hides of those creatures who have served as zombies under his command. Much of the time he wears a mithral breastplate to protect his own hide, and his only visible weapon is the morning star hanging by his side. But far more noticible to most would be the solid weaves of soulmelds upon his person, such as the mate black crown that rests upon his head, showing glimpses of tormented souls, the imagery of the four-armed Nycaloth that shrouds his body, or the black iron, spiked gauntlets that cover his hands and arms, which in quiet moments faintly echo with the sounds and agonized screams of battle. What you can even see of such things, with the thick fog that surrounds him continuously.<br/><br/>Amir was born in the Kingdom of Lankspur, a small nation upon the world of Tryneir. His town was several miles to the north of the capital city of his kingdom, and the townsfolk looked upon the birth of an Azurin as a blessing. Unfortunately, this potential ray of light was not to be. During the last war, when the continent was invaded, he was captured at a very young age, and subjected to the whims, pleasures, and training of Trinity, a young demi-goddess who was at the time disguised as a mortal, and working for the Emperor Magnus.<br/><br/>Though Azurin mature much faster than humans, by the time he was physically ready for use in Trinity’s  bed, his emotions and personality were not as firmly developed, making her conquest and corruption of him all the easier. It was under her tutelage that he was taught the dark arts of Necrocarnum, and to revel in the power it brought.<br/><br/>His first major duties for that empire brought him very close to his own homeland, in a elf kingdom named Woodglen, as he worked with a traditional necromancer, his own abilities enhancing the undead that they both created, rendering any attempts to turn their army nearly useless. And it was here that more than one fallen elf maiden served him for his pleasures once the battles were done.<br/><br/>When that long war was past, and his services no longer needed to spread the influence of the Empire that he’d been raised to serve, Amir decided to wander the world, then eventually beyond it, always in search of more power, and better creatures to serve him after their first death.<br/>"

his expression is at once welcoming and almost unconciously superior.  His coal-black skin stands in sharp contrast to his pure-white hair, worn long and held back with a black leather headband, and even more so against his shockingly blue eyes, a rarity among the subterranean elves.  A strange pair of glasses perch on his sharp nose, tinted strongly enough to keep the sun from his Underdark eyes.  The elf's clothing, though all in shades of black and grey, is expensive enough to be gaudy if it were not made in the very best of taste, and finely complemented by silver, platinum, sapphire and diamond jewelry, some of it obviously magical.  His cloak is made of a material you can't quite recognize, as dark as his own skin... then, with a start, you realize it <span class=""bbc_u"">is</span> drow skin.  When you recoil in horror, the drow's smile grows even wider... and unspeakably cruel.  He speaks a single word of magic, making a negligent gesture in your direction, and you scream in agony as some unseen hand begins to peel the flesh from your bones.</em><br/><br/>Drenak Everhate was born to a house of minor Drow nobles in the midst of war; and in that, he may be considered lucky.  Had his family not been desperate for every supporter they could get, Drenak, the third son of the Matron Mother, would have been sacrificed to Llolth.  Though his talents for both magic and swordplay were less than those of his siblings, he proved his value as the House Herald, announcing the ruling females in times of peace, and urging their soldiers to greater fury in times of war.  He came to greatly enjoy this role, reveling in the power of his dark songs (with the sole exception of hymns; any praise for Lolth grated in his throat).  Still, as a male in the vicious, matriarchal Drow society, especially one considered a weakling, his life was far from easy or pleasant.  He hated his family members who ridiculed and abused him, the culture that placed him one step above a slave, and most of all, the evil Spider Queen, the sadistic demon-goddess who was the wellspring of all his misery.<br/><br/>Even so, he may have lived (and died) in the Underdark as so many other Drow, were it not for the final atrocity his mother planned against him.  She told young Drenak that if his voice ever displeased her, she would cut his vocal cords, thus taking away his singing, the only thing that ever made him feel truly alive.  In desperation, he cut the Matron Mother's throat as she slept, then, that very night, disguised himself as part of a war party journeying to the surface.  Once on the surface, he deserted, and set out to make a life among the lesser races.<br/><br/>And make a life there, he did; indeed, he thrived beneath the open sky, despite the blinding sun, and constant need to travel in disguise due to his peoples' well-earned and unpleasant reputation.  Without the binding constraints of Drow society keeping the ""worthless male"" in his place, Drenak began studying secrets discovered by the Bards and sages of the surface world, learning to tap the true power of his already magical music.  Within a few short years, his arcane might was greater than that of his home city's most accomplished Archmage (ironically, this was in no small part thanks to his constant practice fighting off the assassins his family sent after him).  He learned other, less direct ways of power as well, his skills with manipulation, both sorcerous and otherwise, making him the ruler of several surface-world nations in all but name.  Once safely ensconced in power, he set about the true goals that had driven him onward ever since he murdered his mother.<br/><br/>Both would have been  impossible, for anyone less determined and resourceful.  The first involved taking his revenge upon those who had sent him to the surface in the first place.  He roused his puppets-in-power against the Underdark, making them ever more paranoid about the possiblity of Drow attacks and raids, exaggerating the threat his people posed to the surface, and their invincibility in their own homes.  Assassins, adventuring parties, and other elite forces of the surface began making forays into the Underdark, striking at the heart of the Drows' power; the Priestesses of Lolth.  One by one, they fell to surface-forged blades, throwing their cities into (even greater than usual) anarchy, cutting off the Spider Queen from ever more of her flock.  Drenak's home city was the last to fall, and he murdered its clerics himself, saving his own sisters for last.  After the bloodbath was complete, he used the same burning Charisma that wrapped human nations around his finger to unite his leaderless, fragmented people into a single force under his command.<br/><br/>After crowning himself King of the Drow, Drenak turned to his true goal; deicide.  Ever since his Lolth-tormented childhood, Drenak had nursed a profound resentment of gods in general, regardless of their moral or ethical bent.  These supposedly all-powerful beings, controlling mortals like puppets; who do they think they are, anyway?  With his total monarchy over the Drow, mind-addled surface rulers, and newly forged alliances with the Illithid, Aboleths, and Duergar, Everhate declared war upon the gods of his world.  He began whittling away at their priesthoods and followers, slowly depriving them of the worship their powers depended upon.  He was careful to strike at each deity in turn, carefully maintaining the balance of power between the gods themselves even as he brought them closer to their downfall.  Eventually, the vast majority of mortals grew afraid to speak out for their beliefs, and their faith withered.  Those who remained vocal were swiftly silenced.  And those foolish few that began to worship Drenak himself suffered the most painful deaths he could devise.<br/><br/>All seemed to be proceeding as planned; when the first, barely-Ascended demigod ""starved"" from lack of worship, Drenak's court spent a full year in celebration, and he himself knew true happiness for perhaps the first time in his life.  So overcome was he by his own triumph, that he let down his guard, ever so briefly.  He made a direct, personal assault on the most powerful, sacred temple remaining upon the world, where the most faithful followers of the Sun God held vigil throughout the night.  The vast army of Drow emerging beneath their feet, so soon after they had been abandoned by their secular defenders, aroused both the suspicion of the clergy, and the focused ire of the one god most anathema to Drenak and his kind.  The avatar that was sent decimated his army, and Drenak himself barely escaped with his life, but it was only the first of many.  The weakened pantheon put aside their differences, and began to root out the presumptuous mortals who had dared challenge them, all the while restoring the faith of the people in them.<br/><br/>As the forces of the gods closed in on him, Drenak, more bitterly hateful of the divine than ever, made good his escape.  Having long known it might someday come to this, he had prepared a well-hidden portal shortly after his ascension to the throne of the Underdark, which led to the one place in the multiverse where no vengeful god could follow him; Sigil.  Safe, for the moment, within the City of Doors, he waits, and plots his next move.  Much as he did upon first leaving his Underdark home so long ago, Drenak has begun searching for allies (preferably unwitting ones) to aid his endless quest.<br/><br/><br/><strong>NOTE:</strong>Any PCs that aren't from Drenak's homeworld, or closely connected to Lolth, will almost certainly not have heard the first thing about him, other than rumors of dead gods."

On a more conciouss level on the other hand is the soft glow around her, making those unaquinted with the lady first wonder if they are seeing a ghost or an angel. The slight unholiness of her green eyes and her leathery dark burgandy wings deter from that thought quite quickly though.<br/><br/>Yet those even coloured green eyes hold no visible darkness, shining a little like gems set in her pleasing face surrounded by skin with the sheen of mother-of-pearls and almost brittle-looking hair only slightly more silver than white in colour. More often than not the lady wears her hair twined and braided and curled around her head to keep it from falling down to the small of her back in an airy manner, a custom that bring the gaze to her face and her lovely features, her slightly rose coloured lips for example that curves sensously into an almost gentle smile and her very full eyelashes that gives depth to her eyes.<br/><br/>Her clothing is in a similar fashion on the verge of innocence, layered gowns in the very thinnest of silks possible, always reaching her ancles and beyond but at the same time leaving her back bare and her rounded bosom delicatly hinted. Around her waist a wide black silk sash is clasped and a thinner black ribbon is tied through the mithral rings pierced along her spine, right between her wings. And much more jewellry adorns the lady, all black lace and delicate  mithral filigree to the extenct of where it is hard to tell the magic from the mundane. Notable though is the high black lace collar of superb quality, black gems glittering while black feathers give a velvet feel to it and the amulet hanging down from it, reminding the spectator of reptilian eyes.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A visitor to the courts of the Dark Prince Graz'zt may have the fortune of laying eyes on lady Rilian for that is her home and the Prince himself is who she calls father. And Rilian is quite an exception in a court filled with perversity and sexuality. By no means does she provoke less desire and lust than any of the succubi gracing the court but much of her appeal comes from the sense of purity she exude. She radiates a feeling of exclusiveness, though demons and mortals alike stumble on their feet to please her, few have even been granted a peck on their cheek, much less time alone with the lady. Rumour has it that she is untouchable and some of the most distinguished of Graz'zt followers have joined together in a battle for the fair Rilian´s favour, none of them stopping at anything to win the competition."

He is handsome as some gods are descriped, but his handsome features are covered by dark aura which both cause dread and strong alluring feel to dive into it (at least in opposite sex). He is knowed in planes and other dimensions as one most scarily powerfull warriors who have ever walked in planes and his skill in whip is more feared than balor's blade. Meanwhile Raziel presents a dreaded dammed warrior who serves either a ancient malign deity or embraces ultimate concept of evil and darkness, Teshi'Cara encompasses a female aspect for cruelty, evil and conquest but she is carrier of powerfull divine magics which are unrivalled in the Raziel's homeworld while feared many places in the planes. This power duo together has been told to be near unbeatable but despite the rumours it is confirmed they are not lovers but allies of consequence.<br/><br/>Also Raziel owns a rare pet; A Nessian Hellhound, which works both as his hunting dog and also as his companion in battle and hound wears full set of admantium enchanted war armor whit cruel barbed spikes.<br/><br/>Raziel is athletic muscular man which haves surprising strength and speed in his muscles. He stands six feet tall, whit ice blue eyes and altough he is bald (keeps his hair very short) his eye brows reveal his hair would be red/brown in color and having cream colored skin and having rough cutted yet appealing face whit square jaw. Raziel wears commonly red/black clothes (most commonly a black leather vest and black pants whit red line sand black leather boots and also black leather armbraces whit gold studs). Also Raziel never moves around whitout his weapon, a black/red leather dagger whip which is in excellent condition and which admantium/gold studded handle is expectionally long (long enough it can be comfortably holded by two hands) and which blade in tip is transparent black and it ahves thron alike metal prods between one feet in whole whip's 15 feet lenght.<br/><br/>In battle Raziel wears a skin tight black full plate armor which haves serrated edges which are covered in reddish glowing gold and troughout armor is covered by runes which glow red, green or even golden faint light in battle. The whole armor looks like a body of a devil whit helm which is shaped like devil’s head whit large dark blue opal in it’s forehead and severall smaller black opals in head’s metallic scales. Raziel’s face can be seen trough the sharp toothed open maw of the helm. Gauntlets have two long cruel barbed claws in each and his hands are covered by admantium studded gloves which bear image of face of devils in them and have some powerfull carved rune in them which glow black light. Raziel also wears a ankle long black feather cape and his boots have been made by reddish demon hide.<br/><br/>Teshi'Cara (or just Cara by Raziel and allies), is about near six feet tall and she is lithe muscled in ahtletic manner but she still haves very tempting alluring curves. She haves expectionally long legs (one of her best feature and she shows it off gladly) and her skin is dark and her eyes are black/brown. Her hair is very long (reaching below her buttocks) also black and she keeps it oiled and braided behind her head and she wears gold earrings and her face is plain looking (bit comely tough thanks she looks asian in facial features) but she radiates tempting sexuality by her moves and in her deep resonading voice.<br/><br/>She wears in battle a full plate crafted by silver dragon scales and also spiked shield crafted by similar material. She carries a black steel (admantium) morningstar as her weapon. She favours varied colors in her clothing but red is most often dominated her clothes coloring.<br/><br/>NOTE: Besides above intro little is known about Raziel and Teshi'Cara, they have mostly focused on their own affairs in their own homeworld but they are knowed well in both Hell and Abyss for working out as mercenaries but also a occassional torublemakers in either side when they are not working or not looking some artifact of power."

I'm pretty easy-going overall. Heck, I might be a tad too much for a GM. ^^;;; I'll try to get everything we need to get started up within the next day so we can at least discuss things and start looking at character sheets.<br/><br/>The basic premise of this whole game is to be a giant ""sandbox"" we can play in with every possible superheroine-based idea imaginable allowed. If you want to play a ninja, play a ninja. If you want to play a magical girl, play a magical girl. I want everyone to be able to play at their own pace and engage in their own ideas. Essentially I want you guys to be able to run your own scenarios, though I certainly have my own ideas as well. There's a big baddy involved of course, but she won't be around outside of in the background for a while unless someone wants to lose badly. :)<br/><br/>The system we're using is very flexible, so we can play around with it a bit if need be to accommodate any needs we have.<br/><br/>Original thread: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=5093.0<br/><br/>System: http://zara.verge-rpg.com/bbsw.html<br/><br/>Now, there are a couple of things that need to be determined before the game begins.<br/><br/>1) We need a name for our villains. I am terrible with names and haven't had any I'm completely happy with yet so I'll take suggestions.<br/><br/>2) There are some rule changes that need to be discussed. So please feel free to offer any input or ideas on the following ideas.<br/><br/>- Shemale: There will not be multiple tiers of the shemale advantage. Instead, you just need 1 point in it and then you can make him/her however you wish. There are no bonuses outside of the obvious associated with this ability. You do not get double bonuses in physical attributes. Instead, if you for instance purchase Huge breasts (+2), you can make the character's penis up to huge.<br/><br/>- The following are not allowed due to violations of the site rules: Teenager (below 16) or sexual insanities not listed below:<br/><br/>Allowed Sexual Insanities:<br/><br/>Exhibitionism (Showing yourself)<br/>Masochism (Being hurt)<br/>Mirusmania (Weird sex)<br/>Periculophilia (Dangerous situations)<br/>Pigmalionism (Rocks and statues)<br/>Sadism (Hurting people)<br/><br/>- Since we're doing a superhero RPG, the commanding villains are going to need their lackeys. :) The existing rules set just does not have anything in it that truly captures this. So here's the idea I've had: an advantage called Lackeys. Like all other advantages, it'll be up to level 3. With each level, you get an additional lackey. Though you can have more lackeys appear in your written scene, in actuality you're limited to just 3 when it comes to the dice rolling portion. Lackeys are constructed with 1/3 the CP of their owner rounded down, so in the case of starting characters your villain would have 12 CP and each of his lackeys would have 4 CP. You would not get additional CPs for your lackeys until you hit 15 CP for your villain. In addition to this, each lacky uses 1/2 of its body stat to calculate initial potency. Finally, your commanding villain cannot attack at the same time as its lackeys. After all, it'd violate the superhero procedural code. :)<br/><br/>I'm not sure if this will be the best solution, so if you guys have suggestions don't hold back. Essentially, lackeys are meant to ""soften"" the heroine up.<br/><br/>There will probably be some other things up for discussion, but this should be enough for now. I need to review the damage structure again. I don't want to go around altering a lot of stuff early, though."

You can then purchase the armor power to reflect its defensive properties.<br/><br/>I forgot to mention, the last game muse and I played in with BBSW added some custom rules for handling mental powers and a mind stat. If there was a lot of interest in them, I could try to add them back in, but it runs the risk of overcomplicating things. Still it was fun for certain mental control scenes.

In my character's backstory there are two key villians, it'd be cool if they showed up in game.<br/><br/>One is:<br/>(-- ) Evil Nemesis: Makasashi Kynamura<br/>Her father, an evil sorceror who traded his daughter to a demon for eldritch powers and a bowl of unending ramen.<br/><br/>The other is:<br/>(-  ) Unwanted Love Interest: Agloth the Destroyer<br/>The demon she was given to at the age of 10 for his pleasure. She recently managed to escape his clutches and is sorely... missed.<br/><br/>I haven't really given them personalities but her dad was able to give his daughter to a demon and the demon awakened his 'pets' natural psionic talent enabling her to Shapeshift. These characters are up for your interpretation, and I'm more then happy to brainstorm motivation/adventure/scenario ideas.<br/><br/>For example, I can see Agloth threatening to take back Kynamura's powers unless he finds his daughter and returns her to his clutches. Perhaps Agloth put a Curse on Kynamura as punishment and the evil wizard is trying to undo it, thus leading him to cross paths with heroines as he works to get the things he needs to undo the demon's handiwork.<br/><br/>Also, if villians want to reference these two, feel free to. Perhaps you're hired by one or the other of this dark pair to try and track down the Demon's wayward pet. Perhaps, being the hungry master thief you are, you stole Kynamura's bowl of neverending ramen and are preparing for a noodle feast. I can see these two making a big mark on the game and creating lots of fun RP."

The difference between enhanced attacks and weaponry is that you have to attach enhanced attack to one one particular power.

Trust me, once you've played the system you'll see how big an advantage it can be (Hunter, muse, or Alice can probably back me up here).<br/><br/>Let me use this as an example:<br/><br/>Player 1 has combative level 1 and player 3 has combative level 3. Player 1 has an enhanced level 2 damage level 2 energy blast. Player 1 has level 2 weaponry.<br/><br/>Player 1 rolls 1d10+1d10+4 and ends up doing 14 damage (going on the median). Player 2 has a body of we'll say 7 and ends up taking 7 damage.<br/><br/>Player 2 now gets the next 3 attacks. Player 2 produced a +4 weapon that they can now use for all 3 of their attacks. So they get 1d10+7+4 3 times before you get to go again. Say you have a body of 7 as well. Based on average, player 2 would cause 16 damage per an attack. So player 2 does 27 damage after subtracting body before you even get to go again unless you dodge any of the attacks.<br/><br/>Combative is one of the advantages in the system you're really supposed to justify with your character and not just take points in. Especially level 3. Say we're looking at this on a karate belt scale. Level 1 would be like a green or brown belt, indicating you have basic knowledge of how to defend yourself and attack. Level 2 would be a black belt, indicating you've had extensive training and have a clear advantage against others with limited fighting experience. Level 3 would be like an upper dan (6 or above) karate master who has spent not only much of his life training, but has also fought extensively in tournaments.<br/><br/>Naturally, someone with as much experience as a 6th dan black belt would be able to easily best anyone with less experience, which is why it gives said person a huge advantage. Thus, a combative level 3 character could even possibly take 2 combative level 1 opponents depending on rolls and such. For that reason, combative level 3 is tough to allow on starting characters when you have a lot of combative level 1 characters. So the GM in BBSW has to really watch what people take for combative and make sure it lines up with their character and with other characters.<br/><br/>As for the tentacle example, it'd be 2 tentacles vs. 3 in that case so combative still isn't really giving any indication of how many tentacles you have. Tentacles also have other advantages, such as being able to bind opponents. Plus, they really help in the ""wild thing"" when you can simultaneously be taking someone orally, vaginally, anally, and stimulating other regions. I don't think combative is the best indicator of anything there."

I'll listen to everyone's opinion on it, though.<br/><br/>The other way of handling combative level 3 is to leave it open to taking, but you won't be allowed to take on an opponent with level 1 combative 1-on-1 because it wouldn't be much of a fight (unless the person with level 1 wants to lose badly :) ). 2 people with level 1 combative could take on someone with level 3 though.

Fun, face paced, with a dose of comedy to keep things moving. Look at the author's take on Mind stat and the GM's title of Pimp. I think it's important to remember that when making characters.<br/><br/>Onto Combative<br/>Without any levels of Combative every attack launched at you hits automatically. That's perfect for NPC or non-fighting characters. Either characters you want to play as victims or ones who are made for other types of stories.<br/><br/>That is also why just about every heroine will take combative as we're premised upon fighting aliens or evil thingees. Like in any game take it to the level that makes sense to your concept. I'd say as we play, we'll come up with the strategies needed to handle all the things our characters come up against.<br/><br/>Now, I don't think that ones defenses are at all effected by Combative. If I'm wearing Armor why is it only good vs. 1 attack?   Shouldn't it be good for damage reduction so long as I'm wearing it? Now, if the tentacle beast uses some of its extra limbs to hold me down as the others strip my armor from me... That's another story, no? *winks*<br/><br/>I'd also say, let's keep things simple. Any time a roll's needed, unless it's combat make it a Contest, roll d10+Appropriate Attribute. If Initiative is needed to be rolled, make it d10+Body.<br/><br/>Also, if we think we may need more rules, might I suggest Mutants and Masterminds 2e? It has a simple d20 base system and fast paced combat rules. Its a counter suggestion to loading the system down with lots of house rules."

I wish I still had a list of the house rules from that game. It nearly doubled the rules count in the game and tripled the amount of dice rolls you made in combat. It was an absolute nightmare. Hence why there are only 4 real rules modifications thus far and none of which affect core gameplay.<br/><br/>I don't want to weigh anyone down with restrictions. The whole thing on combative is I'm just trying to look out for players ahead of time on both ends. A warning may be sufficient enough that if you're level 1 combative don't even think of taking on a level 3 by yourself. If you haven't played the system before you might not get to see just how much it affects combat until you do out your first battle.<br/><br/>Contest rolls will be kept to 1d10+stat contests, yes.

I think you missed that you subtract body from the damage.  First, attacks need to hit. I think everyone has wisely taken at least combative level 1, so for each attack it's a contest of d10+body (plus possibly speed defensively too, though I haven't confirmed that yet) to determine if a hit connects. Then, if it does, you subtract body+armor from it. So say someone has a body of 7, an armor of 4, and a potency of 9. If player A did 14 damage and connected with the hit, player B would lose only 3 potency. So based on how the dice fall, some battles will be over very quickly and some could last a while."

It's going to go through some play testing early on to make sure it's balanced, too.. It has both advantages and disadvantages over direct damage.

Let me just state, I have no desire to turn Player Characters in mindless automatons. That's what NPCs are for :)<br/><br/>Short of combat, I don't see Amora making Heroines act a specific way. If The Holy Avenger is looking to pummel her, Amora will try to use Mind Control to make her stop and be more 'reasonable'. A trick she learned with Algoth to avoid the worst of his rages.<br/><br/>For the most part, Mind Control will be coupled with Telepathy to find repressed desires and dark joys then bring them to the forefront of the Heroine's personality. So I see it as a scene starter more then robbing other writers of control of their characters. I prefer to use psychic powers subty so no one loses the chance to be creative and enjoy the RP.<br/><br/>If that's not your cup of tea, I understand.

Both players roll 1d10 + body + applicable skills. If Player A has a higher total, they hit. If B does, they miss and Player B takes no damage. If Player A hits, Player A rolls 1d10+body+power (or xd10 for energy blasts) to determine damage.

Yes, perhaps we should create a 'Resolve' stat, like Climax and Potency just to represent one's mental accuity but for now we don't have that.<br/><br/>So, in the example created<br/>Round one: 12 damage rolled -(6 Talk+2 Intelligence)=4 Damage so final talk for Round 1= 2<br/>Round two: 8 damage rolled-(2 Talk+2 Intelligence)=4 Damage done vs 2 Talk=you're now under the sway of the Mind Controller. To resist you have to roll d10 and beat their Talk total.<br/><br/>I'd suggest that the Talk damage be temporary, say it 'heals' a round after the Mind Controller stops using the power on you.

But that's an aside.<br/><br/>It doesn't really matter who rolls climax for whom. I've been rolling for myself thus far, but you can roll for me. It's no biggie either way. I'll let you roll here so you get a better feel for the system. I'll use your roll to demonstrate criticals.

Do you go by the total or just the dice roll? And how do you handle 1 and 0 since you can't roll a 0 with 1d10. So in the last game I was in we changed it to basing it off of the dice roll before modifications and critical hits being 10 and misses being 1. That's probably the best way of handling them IMO.

Though she didn't want to, each delightful rub of her now soaked crotch and pinch of her stiff nipples caused her to squeal and moan.

Before she knew what was happening, her eyes closed and she ceased to resist and simply felt. When the kiss was finally broken, she protested, ""You... You're lying.

It is mainly used for feats and enduring tickling.<br/><br/>Dexterity: This determines how agile your character,and usually is used in feats, or if a character sets off a trap and must make a dexterity save roll.<br/><br/>Magic: This is mainly used for combat to calculate magic attack and defense rolls.<br/><br/>Willpower: This is used to determine how well a character can handle sexual attacks. It is also used for feat saves against interrogation.<br/><br/>Charisma: This determines how good a character looks and how well they can talk with another character. A character with a high Charisma is more likely to convince another character (NPC) of something.<br/><br/>Tickling: This determines how good of a tickler the character is. Tickling skills are used to interrogate or torture people, and can also be used in combat.<br/><br/>Sex: This determines how good you are at sex. Sex can be an effective way of interrogating or torturing a character.<br/><br/>Luck: This attribute is different from all the rest. Once per game day, you may choose to re-roll a previous roll. The new roll must be taken, even if it is worse than the old roll. The number of times you can do this is your luck attribute divided by 2.<br/><br/>Hit Points: Hit Points are basically your life points. When you get hit, you deduct a certain amount of points from your hit point total. If you lose all your hit points, your character loses consciousness until the fight is over, or they are revived. When the fight ends, they wake back up with 1 hit point.<br/><br/>Stamina Points: Stamina Points are like life points. If your character is sexually pleasured, or tickled, they will lose the appropriate amount of stamina points. If you lose them all, your character passes out from exhaustion. When a character loses the points during a fight, they remain unconscious until the fight is over, or they are revived. When the fight ends, they wake up with 1 point of stamina. Stamina points can also be used to perform special moves.<br/><br/>Magic Points: Magic Points are needed to cast magic spells. When a magic spell is cast, points are subtracted. When those points are gone, you can not cast spells anymore.<br/><br/>Perception:  This skill allows a charactor to be more perceptive of thier soroundings, and is used in feats.<br/><br/>"

They are the people who are right on the frontlines, giving protection to the weaker members of the party. When it comes to challenges of strength or endurance, fighters are the best choice. However, they are particularly susceptible to magic.<br/><br/>Cleric: Not as tough as a fighter, but still able to get into the fray. Clerics are the groups healers. While they can certainly do some damage in combat, their main job is to help weakened friends recover with there support magic, curing wounds and poisons. Clerics for the most part are fairly rounded.<br/><br/>Thief: If you want a lock picked, who better then a thief? Thieves are key to any dungeon adventuring. While any member can try and pick a lock, because of their high initial dexterity score, Thieves are much more likely to pick a lock or disarm a trap.<br/><br/>Mage:  A mage is a person skilled in the magical arts.  They have the ability to wield a variety of spells, some of them offensive, some of them used to help there allies.  A good mage is an invaluable asset in a tight situation."
5158,[The Citadel] Rules and Characters,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=5648.0,"22-05-2006, 23:00:29",Cosmo_ac,"Here are the different races for the game.<br/><br/>Barbarians: Barbarians are large, muscular men who tend to live in small villages or as traveling nomads. They tend to be fairly simplistic in life, preferring to live outdoors than in the large cities. They spend a good deal of there time training themselves in the way of combat and increasing their own physical superiority. Barbarians are actually the male counterparts to Amazons, though they’d never admit it. Magic is something they distrust and fear. Usually Barbarians don’t leave their home on the plains. However, they have been known to become adventures, but it is not money or fame they seek, only a chance to test their abilities and become stronger through fighting.<br/><br/>Barbarians tend to stand between 6’4 and 7’0 tall, and have broad, muscular frames. Barbarian’s weapon of choice is a two-handed Battle Axe, which allows them to add their considerable weight to the axe's strike. They also favor Claymores as swords for the same reason.<br/><br/><br/>Amazons: Amazons are the female counterparts to Barbarians. In their Matriarchal society, they spend much of their time training themselves. Amazons are known for their fierce combat skills, particularly their excellence in archery. They also spend a great deal of their time learning about nature. Like Barbarians they are a proud race, even prouder then barbarians. Amazons are fiercely independent, and dislike having to rely on others, particularly men, who they tend to feel are inferior. Only Barbarians are viewed with any real respect, do to their fierce fighting skills. However, if an ordinary man, be they elf, half-elf, or human earns an Amazon's respect, they should consider themselves as lucky as that respect is a hard won commodity. Amazons dislike magic, preferring to trust in herbs and other natural medicines.<br/><br/>Amazons tend to stand anywhere from 6’0 to 6’6, and have well-developed and toned bodies. While they are not as strong as Barbarians, they make up for their shortcomings in melee fighting with there impressive archery skills. Amazons usually carry a longbow with them and carry longswords for their melee weapons.<br/><br/>Elves: Elves live in a highly aristocratic society, where the standard of living would be considered to be above average compared to the regular human. Elves tend to stay in their own country, not caring much about the outside world, feeling safe living in their great trees. Elves tend to view the other races of the world as somewhat uncivilized, and indeed, compared to the elven country, they are. However, they do acknowledge that they are necessary for things like trade. Elves are taught in the ways of magic from an early age, and excel in it. If they decide to become magic users, it is not an usual thing. Elves tend to know a great deal about the more sophisticated things, such as artwork, fine spirits, and the like. They also know about nature, even though they don’t live as closely with it as the used too.<br/><br/>Elves are slim and somewhat more fragile then humans due to their bone structure. Because of that fact, they tend to prefer to fight with magic and avoid melee fighting, which they view as barbaric. Elves stand between 5’6 and 6’ tall on average, and posses slim, builds. Their weapons of choice are longbows, and longswords for melee fighting, though as a rule, most elves prefer to simply use magic.<br/><br/>Half-Elves: Half-elves are the offspring of both a human and elf parent. Because of this, they generally take on some of the elven features, namely their pointy ears. However, their body frames tend to be less slim. Because of this, they are usually outsiders, neither welcome in Elven or human society.<br/><br/>Half-elves are somewhere in between humans and elves, not as naturally strong as their human side, but not as graceful as their elven side either. Half-elves tend to stand between 5’4 and 6’0 tall on average. Because of their slim hands, half-elves make for good thieves, and still have some natural skill with magic from their elven side.<br/><br/>Humans: Humans are the dominant species in the world, being able to breed like rabbits and out compete all the other races. I don’t think I need to explain much about humans, as I’m sure the readers know about the human race (if you don’t, you need to get off the computer and go out more  ) Humans can be all shapes and sizes, though humans who stand below 5’0 or over 6’2 are a rarity. Because of there unique ability of adaptation, a human has no racial penalties, but they also receive no bonuses, making them good for any class.<br/><br/>"

From earliest years, this girl lived amongst<br/>the woods, with bow in hand and bare earth to sleep on. Her<br/>family was an old and reputable one that fallen into debts<br/>and poverty. Roxanna prefered the misty woodlands to the boredom<br/>of her home and her fathers sulking. Her carefree, simple but<br/>happy life took a turn when she celebrated eighteen birthday.<br/>A rival noble, rich and arrogant upstart known as Bryant arrived<br/>at her fathers estate, leading a troop of soldiers and demanding<br/>that Roxanna would right very now agree to be his wife.<br/>Roxanna herself was not at the celebration, but deep in the<br/>woods with her friends. When she came back home, her parents<br/>were held hostage and Bryant would not leave until she knelt<br/>with him before a white cleric's altar.<br/>The girl did not think twice and shown the suitor-conqueror<br/>an obscene gesture, then declared she leaves her family and<br/>fled into the woods.<br/>Not able to return home as soldiers and Bryant would be back<br/>for her, Roxanna decided it's about time to seek real adventure<br/>in lands far away, but sworn to come back one day to make Bryant<br/>regret.<br/><br/>Looks:<br/>A girl in the peak of her youth, full of vigour and agility.<br/>Brawny but not muscular, she's medium tall and has a slender<br/>silhouetto worthy of a dancer. From under a storm of fiery brown<br/>hair, a clear and delicate face smiles warmly and black eyes<br/>spark with joy.<br/>Roxanna wears a simple green tunic and a bit darker leggins,<br/>hugging her narrow waist with a round buckled leather belt.<br/>All that she needs to travel and simply live is either hanging<br/>at the waist or is neatly packed into her backpack.<br/>She makes no fuss over carrying a length of rope, quiver full<br/>of crossbow bolts, a hunting knife and a set of 'trappers' tools.<br/><br/>Others:<br/>One of Roxanna's passions is taking mechanisms apart and putting<br/>them back. That includes locks, even if she abhors the thought<br/>of stealing from honest people. Roxanna dislikes violence and<br/>will hestitate with killing even in self defence. She won't on<br/>other hand oppose the nonlethal ways of giving villianous<br/>people what they deserve. Indeed, the young rogue has a keen<br/>instinct for trickery, mischief and taking revenge.<br/>One little weakness of her is how vulnerable her skin is to<br/>tickling, itching and similar annoyances. While sensitive hands<br/>made her good with her tinkering, it's enough to just touch<br/>her sides, loins, armpits or ribs to make her burst out with<br/>hysteric laughing.

Once the password is given, the stairwell lowers itself from the ceiling, allowing entry to the Common Room<br/><br/>The start well leads up into a large central room with sturdy oak tables with raven engraved legs and the crest enchanted into the center to show without disrupting the writing surfaces.  The  walls of the hall are covered in the tapestries donated by the alumni who had achieved great advancements in the worlds understanding of magic, a great honor to be recognized for all time within Ravenclaw.  Where there are not tapestries, there are book shelves, filled with the books donated again by the alumni, often even including books not included within the school library, though not as extensive.  They also include the first copies of any book ever published by a Ravenclaw.<br/><br/>There are two staircases opening off the common room into the Tower itself: the boys' staircase, on which the seven boys' dormitories are located (one for each year) and the girls' staircase, on which the seven girls' dormitories are located (one for each year). The girls' staircase is under a spell so that if a boy sets foot on it and persists for a few steps, a wailing klaxon goes off and the staircase temporarily Transfigures itself into a stone slide, sending him and anyone else on the stairs sailing to the bottom. According to Hogwarts, A History, the founders believed that girls were more trustworthy than boys, so that while the girls' staircase is enchanted to prevent boys from getting in, the boys' staircase does not carry a reciprocal enchantment. Each dormitory is a round room with windows looking out onto the grounds, and containing four-poster beds."

Slender, yet well curved, almost overly so for her age. Long, thick red hair reaches well past her lower back, even past her knees, softer than silk and nearly the color of crimson blood, her eyes a soft, doe-brown (unless possessed, then they turn a crimson color to match her hair). Her skin is soft, gently tanned from her time outside.<br/>Strengths: Speaking to spirits of the dead, spells, especially those involving the dead, studying.<br/><br/>Weaknesses: Her hair (obession with it, need to protect it, etc), her need to always be doing something, whether its studying or sports.<br/><br/>Background: Raised by her aunt, Madison was orphaned at a young age when she and her parents were in a car crash. Along her lower back is a scar from the surgery that saved her life, as well as one along the hairline at her left temple, under her hairline on the back of her head, and one on each of her palms. The scars on her hands are on both the palms and backs of her hands, as if she'd been crucified, when in fact a metal rod went through her hands, forcing her into physical therapy for years. Sent away to school as soon as she was old enough, she learned quite quickly to become independant. When her parents died, she discovered that not only was she a fantastic candidate for magic, she could aslo communicate with the dead. Unfortunately for her, the first spirits she spoke to were her parents. But through time, she's learned to better control her abilities, and is even learning to channel spirits into her body, so that it doesn't look like she's talking to herself. That has happened a good deal of times in her life, and she's caught hell for it most of her childhood. That forced her into a shell of sorts, drawing into herself and immersing herself in her studies. This helped and hindered her at the same time, for it gave her a head start on a good deal of the other students, but it also kept her away from the world, away from other people who were even remotely like her. One of the many downsides to her ability to speak with the dead and channel spirits, is that she is more easily possessed by spirits than other people when she is receptive of such a thing, as she's still learning. Luckily, its not overly hard to tell when she's not herself, as she cast a spell upon herself that turns her eyes a crimson color, not unlike her own hair, when she's been possessed. Now that she's moved away from home and found a place to be safe with her magic, she tends to be quite happy and outgoing, though there are times when she becomes quiet and withdrawn. Especially if a spirit that had died in a particularly nasty way is bothering her. She's quite active, almost never found just lazing about. If she's not studying her spells and the like, she's out playing some sort of sport, or finding some sort of exercise.<br/>Character Limits: I don't really have many...

description:<br/>Personality--Vincent's still water runs deep.  Having survived several years at Hogwarts with the 'pure-bloods' in the ascendant, he's gotten very good at keeping his thoughts and feelings hidden.  When in doubt, he'll shut up...or go very, very polite.  He's just as emotional as anyone else--he just isn't very expressive.  There is one exception--the easiest way to get him to talk, a lot, cheerfully, is to ask him about his 'hobby'...a muggle game called 'Diplomacy'.<br/><br/>Quirks--dry sense of humor, wears glasses (that he doesn't need), converses with his cat as if it was both more real and more intelligent than most humans.<br/><br/>Familiar:<br/>Cat...small tortie calico, named Regina (answers to Reggie)<br/><br/>History:<br/>What they have been like in the school up until this point:  Vincent is usually regarded as a quietly competent young scholar--not the sort of stellar performer that, say, Hermione Granger will be in a few years time, but good enough to qualify as an Auror if he doesn't screw up.  He is otherwise overlooked by his instructors, which is just the way he likes it.  He generally follows the rules as closely as possible, no unauthorized magic or sneaking around after hours for Vincent!  He's a good boy...but not neurotically eager to lick boots and polish apples.<br/><br/>Family quirks:<br/>His family is strictly middle-class and muggle to the core.  They think he's won a scholarship to some peculiar private institution of advanced learning (which is true).  They ask him no questions, he tells them no lies.  They are not particularly close.  His parents are rather dull people, content with their lot in life and not particularly interested in the wider world.<br/><br/>Status--middle class, muggle-born<br/><br/>Anything the school population should already know or could with little work:<br/>Vincent has fallen under suspicion a few times already.  There was a hearing when he was still a second-year student: he was thought to have improperly enchanted his parents to ignore any and all mention of magic.  The Ministry investigated.  After a brief flurry of media attention, they determined that his parents were simply utterly, completely boring, tedious, and mundane people who just happened to have a son who became a wizard.  This may explain his careful avoidance of the limelight.<br/><br/>He was accused of being involved with some nasty practical jokes over the past two years, but the matter was dropped due to lack of evidence.  His accusers were outspoken pure-bloods who had fallen victim to one such joke...hardly impartial witnesses.  He's withdrawn into his studies even more as a result.<br/><br/>He also has a peculiar hobby: he plays a muggle game called Diplomacy by post.  He isn't very good at it, but he seems to enjoy it greatly even when he loses.  At any given time he's got two or three games going on, and writing letters to his opponents takes up what little free time he allows himself.  This is one of the very, very few topics he will discuss animatedly...at length.<br/><br/>Anything the school should specifically not know about the student (make sure to state they shouldn’t know):<br/>Vincent is a bad, sad, angry boy.  Once in a while, he stops getting quietly angry and starts getting even, having an overdeveloped sense of premeditated and retro-active self-defense.  His usual targets are those who are otherwise untouchable: people of high status, or whose family connections render them less likely to be taken to task for wrong-doing.  In other words, potential Death Eaters.<br/><br/>Some of the more vicious pranks that targeted 'purebloods' last year were his work.  He is suspected of having nearly killed a couple of the more outspoken anti-muggle members of another house...but nothing has ever been proven, and since You-Know-Who's death he's put all his worst plans on permanent hold.  He has always been careful to make sure his schemes are more embarrassing than dangerous (he wants his foes broken, not dead), but things got out of hand.  This year, he's being extra cautious so as to avoid crossing that line again."

At first they took his appointment to Hogwarts as some kind of joke but when Dumbledore himself one morning stood on the doorsteps to their house in Liverpool his parents (and him for that matter) finally understood that it wasn’t a joke (and their son wasn’t going crazy). You see James had the ability to see both the past and future and had during the year been through some rather horrifying moments as he relived He-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named atrocities. Rumours that uncaptured Deatheaters wanted his blood was all that it took for Dumbledore himself to see that James came to the school in one piece.<br/><br/>During the years that has followed James has been on and off trouble as the rumours has been proven to be true and a group of Deatheaters very much was out for his blood, according to them his blood could bring back He-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named to life. But during the year before the group was finally defeated (at least to James’ knowledge) and he has been looking forward for the 7th year that would mean that he finally could have some peace. James’ family has taken his new identity as a wizard rather good. They still has some problem with it and sometimes still believes that it all is a hoax.<br/>During his years at Hogwarts he has never ever shown any interests in Quidditch.<br/><br/>What no-one knows:<br/>Has been taken personal Occlumency lessons by professor Snape as precautions during his years as hunted prey which have made him VERY talented in the subject. During those lessons Snape also began teaching him Legilimency and hinted things with the Dark Arts (something he keeps to himself wanting to explore more off).<br/>I would define him as standing on the threshold to become rather evil.<br/>"

Very good in theory courses.<br/>3. Animal Empathy - She loves them, and they love her. Few are the animals that will rat on her. In fact, she can communicate with them at a very base level, chittering and purring just so, or bribing them, to convince them to do something simple.<br/><br/>Weakness:<br/>1. Magic Vulnerability - Some if not most spells cast on her have rather stronger effects than normal, when applicable. Effects may vary.<br/>2. Ineptitude - While she's excellent in theory, she's next to hopeless in classical application, though she can barely pass most of her practical exams. She can use most magical items, but don't ask her to cast a spell under duress, though!<br/>3. Frailty - She's weaker physically, one-on-one, than just about everyone in her grade and most several grades below as well. Pity, or she might make a good quidditch player.<br/><br/>top 3 fantasies:<br/>1. Being caught by a trap/teacher/students of another house/ghosts, tied up inescapably, and tormented for an extended period of time.<br/>2. Learning the passwords of all four houses and using them to devastating prankful effect.<br/>3. Being dominated in public places, especially when it is a struggle for her to keep the domination a secret from others and not get utterly humiliated.<br/><br/>Physical description:<br/>Sasha Dunnell is a perky, if diminutive girl of 16 summers, currently in her sixth year at Hogwarts. A bit of a midget, she stands about 4'11"" in height, with a slender form to match, and often could be able, if not for her reputation, to pass herself off as one of a younger grade despite her developed C-cup breasts. She has dark mahogany-red tresses tied in a ponytail behind her, one bluish-green eye and one greenish-blue eye, and a distinctive Irish look with freckles.<br/><br/>Her usual wear includes a tight white blouse buttoned up in front, barely tucked into a flaring, dark purple skirt that doesn't quite reach her knees, showing off a lot of leg. Dainty little white ankle socks and slip-on purple dress shoes complete the rest of her outfit. The shoes can change colour as desired by her, though. Atop of that is one of several dark black silken robes, or dark purple dress robes with a frilly, furred trim, which she hates and only wears when she absolutely must.<br/><br/>Nonphysical description:<br/>Personality<br/>Prankster alert. Sasha tends to be quite flippant, uncaringly daring and haphazard, her attitude being of living life only by the moment without regard for the consequences after. She's brazen, tries her best to be naughtily sexy, bends every rule where possible, and is at the center of nearly every prank by her house, usually targetting those of another. Especially prefects. Talk about a bullseye sign! Still, she's usually lucky or glib enough to get out of most things. Outspoken at times, if approached right she does have a stronhg submissive streak. (Think halfling, only worse!)<br/>Quirks<br/>Danger and fear literally is an aphrodisiac for her, in the sense of getting aroused, although she'd die before she let anyone know that. She speaks in a weird Irish accent (weird because I'm not going to be able to do it well) and loves anything to do with chocolates and eggs, while despising milk and other dairy products. More undoubtably will turn up!<br/><br/>Familiar:<br/>A pet robin named Whistles. They adore each other, and she loves to perch on Sasha's shoulder when free. She can be trained to do little tricks, currently the most useful of which being that Sasha can instruct the little bird to hide motionless, and come to her at the call of a whistle. She sleeps in a cage in their dorm room.<br/><br/>History:<br/><br/>Born in Northern Ireland in the mid 60's, she was the only daughter of a Muggle family that owned a little cottage and farm out in the middle of nowhere-close-to-a-city. Horses and animals were her main friends then, and she often ventured afar and spent many hours out on the field with herself and her animal friends. Though the family earned just enough to keep themselves going, they could not afford to send her away or to anyplace else, and were never sure as to what to do with her. So they left her alone.<br/><br/>They finally realised something was amiss once strange events started happening around the farm - the cows were beginning to produce curdled milk, the chickens inordinate amounts of eggs (before they quickly expired), and there was that cock that would crow all day and night whenever Sasha was upset at anything.. Though her parents did not know what to do, wizards posing as kind government workers quickly convinced them that she was merely very empathic with animals and that, after hearing the farmers' plight, they'd gladly take her - even sponsor her, to a boarding school since she was obviously 'extremely intelligent'. She would even return home for the summer every year. They quickly agreed, though Sasha only did as well once she was allowed to bring along her pet robin.<br/><br/>Her first few years at Hogwarts were interesting. Though she got by the first couple years quite easily, it soon became apparant that while she was brilliant in the theory aspect of any exam, she was starting to barely scrape by any practical application of an exam she took, and so her marks weren't the best in the class. Also, though she was quiet in the first few years, now as she comes of age she's beginning to show her playful and prankful streaks more often, especially since she seldom needs to study in the evenings.<br/><br/>Up until this point: Fabulous in class, horrid in labs. Average overall. Bad studier.<br/>Family quirks: None. They're simple farming types.<br/>Status: Poor, muggled.<br/>Anything the school population should know: Minor prankster status, friendly, muggle-born, bit of a wild streak. Very good for homework answers, stay clear in labs.<br/>Anything the school population should not know: That her prankster nature and the danger of it turns her on incredibly.<br/>Toys or special qualities: Animal empathy, so she seldom gets in trouble with animals or familiars."

She comes from a higher middle class family, where she is loved and well cared for.  Her parents were thrilled to see her attending Hogwarts, as her mother is a witch.  Her father is muggle born, but because he always respected his wife's station, he too was excited to see the trait carried through in Frannie.  Her younger brother Patrick appears also to be muggle born.<br/><br/>Frannie has always been well respected by her professors, and usually well liked by her peers."

Medium height and build with no flair for fashion whats-so-ever. His black hair often ranges from long and unruly to quickly cropped for convenience. Two features that seem to stand out are his soft, puppy-dog brown eyes, which can twinkle with a certain magic of their own when he is up to something of interest or take on an unassialble look when he is deep in thought, and an almost impish smile that can be quite infectious.<br/><br/>Nonphysical description:<br/>Hobbes is a quiet, yet friendly young man who appears to be rather easy going if you take the time to get to know him. He seems to have a deep respect for all aspects of magic, an often unique perspective on everything, and a certain unquenchable curiosity at times.<br/><br/>History: Whitland Hobbes grew up in a typical middle class American family where he just never seemed to fit in. Although he was bright and amiable, his parents began to worry about his success in the world as often the most simple of things seemed to be quite a task for him, and although he seemed capable of excelling in his schoolwork, he never found an area of focus, or even interest, and his grades suffered as a result. When the opportunity to attend Hogwarts presented itself, his parents were relieved, with hopes that he would finally find a niche within a world that might understand him.<br/>He did fit in, that is, by delving into the wonders of potential around him, but not by being overly outgoing, or acquiring any real friends to speak of. Some of the students have turned to him for help with studies and applications, but many ignore him, recognizing him only as the boy who was almost held back a year for continually falling asleep in the library (due to his own inquisitive projects) and consistantly missing or being late for classes.<br/><br/>Familiar: A helpful little penguin named Ren (short for Renaissance) who may have special insights of his own as he manages to help Hobbes find what he has been looking for in most cases.<br/><br/>Status--middle class American muggle<br/><br/>Anything the school population should know: has a strange outlook at times, may be a jack-of-all-trades magically, is the sleeping library boy<br/><br/>Anything the school population should not know: There have been rumors that not all of the Hobbes family were muggles. In fact, the original line may have been very important true bloods, but a rift in the family divided the line with the Hobbes name being mired into muggle obscurity."

Making her angry takes a long time, and she won't hold a grudge on you.. but she tends to have friends that will and making her an enemy is rather like shooting yourself in the foot.  She's a cruel creature when set awry.. and is not above inflicting physical harm that has nothing to do with magic.   Beyond that it would also be common knowledge that in her first-third years Kai and her twin brother were exceptionally close, and shared a 'master'.  When the fourth year started, her brother was expelled for misusing school property and she has since been unattached.<br/><br/>Anything the school should specifically not know about the student<br/>Secrets she has none of, or at the very least she isn't totally liable to hide anyway.<br/>Any toys or special qualities worthy of note: Now and then Kia has prophetic dreams, and catches snippets of insight that she should probably have absolutely no knowledge about. she also has a deck of family tarot, where the cards will speak to her when she draws them"

You get stuck taking only required classes for the first two years. The classes that all students must take from first year until the end of fifth year are:<br/><br/>Astronomy: Recognizing the stars and planets in their movements across the skies as well as recognizing the constellations they form and the uses of this knowledge (telling time by the movements of the stars, navigating by them and the like).<br/><br/>Charms: Charms are everyday helpful enchantments and spells that aren't related to self-defense or transfiguration.<br/><br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts: Protecting one's self from various dark forces, be they dangerous creatures like Vampires and Werewolves or dark magics cast by evil wizards and witches.<br/><br/>Herbology: The study of magical flora. It is assumed that magical plants exist in rare places that muggles don't visit, or in highly-magical environments like Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.<br/><br/>History of Magic: The history of magical folk throughout recorded time. The past is apparently littered with many awful wars and events that Muggles never saw, never survived, or were made to forget.<br/><br/>Potions: Mixing up magical concoctions for all occasions.<br/><br/>Transfiguration: Changing the shape of animate or inanimate objects.<br/><br/>First years also attend mandatory classes on broom riding and probably get some instruction in Quidditch along the way.<br/><br/>Once you've entered Third Year at Hogwarts, you begin learning things that are essential not only to get around in the world, but to actually shape your future career path. Around the Easter holidays of their second year, students must choose two or more elective classes to add to their curriculum. Three is probably the upper limit that a student can manage in addition to their other courses, and they will be kept very busy indeed. The electives listed in JK Rowling's works are:<br/><br/>Ancient Runes: Dealing with ancient written languages and the translation thereof. Subjects presumably include heiroglyphics, the elder futhark, sanskrit and maybe even hebrew.<br/><br/>Arithmancy: From the descriptions of the funny boxes filled with numbers, this could be a variation of Enochian magic, Kabbalistic or Hermetic Magic, or, in other words, the magic of mathematics and numerology.<br/><br/>Care of Magical Creatures: The fauna equivalent of Herbology. Although, with Hagrid teaching it, it could also be considered a variation of Defense against the Dark Arts.<br/><br/>Chorale and Musical Instruction: Two seperate courses, but taught by the same teacher. These are, basically, singing and playing musical instruments. Remember Dumbledore's quote on the subject, ""Ah, music! A magic beyond all we do here!""<br/><br/>Divination: Learning to predict the future. Of course, given that true divination is rather rare, it's considered bunk. The best they could actually do is teach the kids to properly interpret what their gifts tell them.<br/><br/>Muggle Studies: For wizard-born folk, this would seem an essential class to learn about the habits and history of muggles.<br/><br/><br/>Apparation and Disapparation: Sixth-year students are taken to the Great Hall on Saturday Mornings beginning in February, and are given 12 weeks of instruction on Apparation and Disapperation. The charms preventing them from doing so are removed at this time, and all teachers are present for lessons. After the required 12 weeks, brush-up instructions are given in Hogsmeade. All of this leads up to the test which is given on or after the student's 17th birthday.<br/><br/>In addition to the above, the Moderators of the Hogwarts Hub have added the following:<br/><br/>Independent Study: If students are bright enough and considered to be self-starters and highly motivated, they might be allowed to pursue independent courses of study for class credits. But they would have to turn in a report of at least 50 pages before the end of the year.<br/><br/>Internship/Apprenticement: For certain career fields, students would require hands-on, intensive study. For instance, would-be healers can train with Madame Pomfrey in the Hospital Wing. Would-be teachers might become Teachers' Aides for certain classes, Would-be brown nosers would become prefects... Ok, forget I mentioned that last one.<br/><br/>Magical Crafting: How to fabricate and enchant your own, how to check them over for curses if you've acquired them from someone else, how to repair them... It's a magical shop class.<br/><br/>Muggle Academics: A remedial course in reading, writing, mathematics, and other scholastic skills that students need to get good marks on the stuff they do in other classes. Not very popular, the ones who end up in it are usually placed there by instructors or their parents.<br/><br/>Visual Arts: This covers drawing and painting in most styles and mediums available to Wizards, and includes techniques and compounds that make it possible to animate one's art.<br/><br/>Magical Phenomena: This class goes into the various naturally-occuring magical wonders of the wizarding world, and the occasional foray into artificial effects, as well.<br/><br/>Magical Theory: This is the underlying science behind the functioning of magic. It discusses various systems used by different cultures and even provides a basic knowledge of the function of powerful, ancient magics. Students of this class learn to create their own spells, although the Administration would like to ask players to not go completely hog wild in making their own spells.<br/><br/>Wizarding Economics (Wiz Ec): Look at Molly Weasley vis-a-vis the kids in the books. Hermione can't knit, Ron is useless at tailoring, and they've all been depending on house elves to feed them. Obviously, they have to learn domestic arts somewhere...<br/>Questionable Things<br/><br/>Elective Classes Ok, I admit, we just kinda brainstormed ideas and came up with the non-canon electives like Magical Items and Devices, Wiz Ec and the like. Someone has to be teaching people in the wizarding world these sorts of things. I added Chorale, Music Instruction and Visual Arts because it occurs to me that they are important parts of the wizarding world, as well.<br/><br/>Athletic teams: Quidditch seems to be the big sport at Hogwarts, and the only really officially sanctioned one, but there are probably other sports as well.<br/><br/>Clubs: Lots of them, for all sorts of different interests. Gobstones, Wizard's Chess, Charms and the like. Dumbledore's Army is a notable DADA club, so it's likely that there's a Dark Arts club somewhere in the Slytherin side of things that teaches curses, hexes and how to make poisons and drugs, although it's likely to not be sanctioned, and probably meets somewhere like the Forbidden Forest, where there are lots of innocent creatures to hex, and no teachers watching.<br/><br/>Newspaper/Yearbook: Might have officially sanctioned clubs, as well, although we haven't seen them yet. Maybe if you're really bored, you can open up an underground newspaper at Hogwarts.<br/>"

Her family is fairly wealth and has numerous Aurors(including her father). It also has a quantity of dark wizards, and even one Death Eater(Her Aunt, currently in Azkaban. The lady took an unusual and disturbing interest in Tae).<br/><br/>Her time at Durmstrang was fairly peaceful, between studying and playing Quidditch. In her third year, she tried the animagus transformation and botched it horribly, leaving her with a tail and progressive physical changes(see below). The Durmstrang Administration encouraged her to transfer shortly thereafter, to not blight their good name. Embarassed and now the butt of several unpleasent jokes at Durmstrang, she was more than happy to oblige.<br/><br/>Character name: Taetia Emmerich<br/>Character Sex: F<br/>Character age: 16<br/>Position: Student<br/>House: Slytherin<br/><br/>sexual limits: Site Limits<br/><br/>turn ons: Tight clothing, bdsm, piercings and tattoos, exhibitionism, anal sex, spankings, giving or recieving sexual humiliation,chasity belts and.. anything, really!<br/>turn offs: Site limits<br/>sexual preference: Bi<br/>Dom/sub: Enjoys both!<br/><br/>Strengths: Alchemy, Transfiguration, plays a mean guitar, good at broomriding and Quidditch, good liar, has a decent competency with Dark Magic(She's from Durmstrang, after all)<br/><br/>Weakness: Arithmancy, abuses recreational potions, afraid of snakes and spiders, botched animagus, tends to believe the best of people<br/><br/>Top 3 fantasies: Non-Consensual sex, to lose a bet and spend the night as somebodies play thing, a barebottomed spanking in public.<br/><br/>Physical description:<br/>Taetia is short and enticingly curvy. Her shoulder length red hair is bound up in a loose knot, held in place by laquered chopsticks done in black and gold. Tae's long fingernails are painted black, with glittering gold and red marks done on them. Her features are strong and well defined, with a firm chin, expressive mouth, high cheek bones and large, yellow-green eyes. Her ears are slightly pointed, almost like a cat's.<br/><br/>Tae usually wears the standard black school robes and colors though, as an exchange student, she's added a red sash with the Durmstang double-headed eagle upon it. Her robe is, perhaps, a size too small. Her figure, though quite good on it's own, is enhanced by a corset she wears under her robes. A gold stud addorns her left eyebrow, and she has several piercings in each ear. She wears heavy black boots, old and battered but still as sound as a battleship.<br/><br/>A member of <House>'s Quidditch team, Tae is graceful and vigorous, her movements quick and smooth. A strong russian accent colors her voice, though she speaks and understands English quite well.<br/><br/><br/>Nonphysical description:<br/>Personality: Tae is a bright, active young girl. She takes an interest in other people and enjoys their company. She has an active sense of humor and enjoys riddles and mischief of the practical joke variety. Tae is an adrenaline junkie, which sometimes leads her to take foolish risks, especially on the Quidditch field. She tends towards perkiness and cheerfulness.<br/><br/>Quirks: Tae talks with her hands a lot, illustrating her words with expressive hand gestures. Despite being a virgin, she also talks big about sex.<br/><br/><br/>Familiar: None. Her last familiar was a large cat, but an unfortunate magical accident terminanted it last year.<br/><br/>History:<br/>What they have been like in the school up until this point: Tae is a bright, active student. She does well in her classes, and takes part in extra-curricular activites. She's a bit shy about her fellow students at the moment, but she'll warm up quite swiftly. She is a bit of a trouble maker, as she can't resist a good joke.<br/><br/>Family quirks: Tae's family has several Aurors. Her father, two uncles and several cousins were dedicated Aurors. Her family also has a number of a dark wizards. Only one(her aunt on her mother's side) was an acknowledged Death Eater, currently in Azkaban. As one must expect, this makes family reunions awkward. Very awkward.<br/><br/><br/>Status: Wealthy. Her family tree is mostly populated with wizards, though a not insignificant number have non-human blood.<br/><br/>Anything the school population should already know or could with little Work: She's an exchange student from Durmstrang. According to rumor, she had some sort of magical accident halfway through her third year, which kept her out of school for a few months(and really bolloxed her team's chance at the school Quidditch championship). The Durmstrang administration was more than happy to approve her exchange to Hogswarts and even suggested it.<br/><br/><br/>Anything the school should specifically not know about the student: The magical accident that spurred her transition from Durmstrang was a botched animagus transformation. She attempted it midway through her third year and royally screwed it up. The consequences of her mistakes are with her today: she currently has a tiger's tail under her robe. If that wasn't bad enough, she thinks it's getting worse; Tae's noted a lengthening of her teeth and that her ears are slowly becoming more pointed. She wants to find a way to cure herself of this affliction, before the changes progress to far and become irrevocable.<br/><br/>Any toys or special qualities worthy of note<br/>Kickass Flying Broom"

His mother (Gloria) had no idea how to deal with the creature and panicked at it's first appearance. His father (Albert) was away at the time. Gloria spent nearly a half hour trying to shoo the large bird away, and even went so far as to take a broom to it before realizing it clutched a  letter in one claw. Upon recieving his invitation to Hogwarts, Lucas had been most confused. Both of his parents were muggles and his mother had no idea of how to deal with the situation.<br/>After nearly a full week of debating sending her child to school somewhere that she'd never heard of, Gloria finally caved. The Letter had said to go to the Leaky Cauldron, So she took Lucas there early in the morning. Upon arriving Lucas had run to the door to Diagon Alley, seeing the sign his mother could not and waited patiently. As the bricks pulled away and one of the other students who'd been purchasing equipment left Diagon Alley, he and his mother went in.<br/>After nearly three hours of window shopping and grasping at straws on what the list of requisite equipment meant, she took him to the train station. It was, again, luck that another family was just heading onto platform 9 and 3/4. Gloria hugged her quiet boy lovingly and sent him on his way. Never truly understanding what happened during the next six years of his life.<br/>At Hogwart's, young Lucas was overlooked for nearly four years. It was during year five, much to his chagrin, that he was recognized for his talents and capabilities and pushed towards the front of his class. He followed in the head boy's footsteps for magical aptitude and talent, but never surpassed him in any of the classes they shared.<br/>During the Six years at Hogwarts, he looked to Dumbledore as a father figure, and for a while he'd been truly happy being in Hogwart's, only regretting that he had to return to his family.<br/><br/><br/>Anything the school population should already know or could with little<br/>Work.

Basic needs can be filled fairly simply by an individual wizard, which means that they, as a culture, save a whole lot of time and effort since they don't need to work on creating, maintaining and innovating a infrastructure to support the fullfillment of such needs or the obtaining of resources to fullfill such needs.<br/><br/>This leads to a fundamental difference in the economic and class structure of their society, with fascinating ramifications. The valuation of knowledge and expertise and the devaluation of classical resources and gross physical labor would create fundamental differences in the economy of the wizarding world. Ultimately, only knowledge, complex or rare goods, and conveniences would retain any real value.<br/><br/>While the book, obviously, doesn't go into many of the possible ramifications of this, it is interesting to think about.<br/><br/>It'd be cyberpunk, only with more wands!<br/><br/><br/>Oh, and howdy DQ82.

Not quite fitting in she was planning to leave and steal some treasures from the Temple of the Love Goddess then met the most incredible creature she ever saw- Karanissa. Dropping the pouch of rare gems and some magic items the guards came in. Handling this in-house she was punished by having to serve the temple for ten years mostly in her case as a bathing attendent. It wasn't so bad she had a hell of a serious romance and then the Elven God finally awakened her elven soul. She changed.<br/><br/>Subtle at first she was at an unknown portal and saved the Elven Queen from a Drow raid taking the poisoned arrow and almost died, tended lovingly for over a month from Essendra. After the Queen granted her a boon upon her recovery she asked for the hand of  Karanissa as her wife. Nothing else. And she was going on a Spelljammer Vessel to explore the worlds as their scout offering to stay if her beloved asked her. Well they were wed and left together the Spelljammer ship Captain enjoying getting another pilot and a healer in the package. They have yet to actually make love but she wants to make sure its beautiful and will wait for the right moment. After all as elves they have hundreds of years to explore each other.<br/>"

For that reason, rating 1 is still consideredNeutral for purposes of alignment-affecting or-detecting spells.<br/><br/>Below is the rating examples given in the book:<br/><br/>Good<br/>1 Doesn’t like to see bad things happen to others<br/>2 Helps others occasionally, particularly friends<br/>3 Willing to help strangers on occasion<br/>5 Gives of himself to help others, whether it be time,<br/>money, possessions, or something else<br/>7 Takes concepts like purity, innocence, and other<br/>higher principles very seriously<br/>8 Would sacrifice anything, even his life, for others in<br/>a heartbeat<br/>9 Refuses to harm anything or anyone, even if it<br/>brings misfortune or death on himself<br/><br/>Evil<br/>1 Finds joy in the misfortune of others, but usually<br/>wouldn’t act to hurt others<br/>2 Willing to cause others pain or misfortune to better<br/>himself<br/>3 Actively enjoys lying, stealing, and inflicting pain<br/>on others<br/>4 Willing to cause harm even to friends to get ahead<br/>5 Willing to kill to better himself<br/>7 Will kill for the sheer pleasure of bringing pain and<br/>death to others<br/>9 Hates life, goodness, and light and does everything<br/>in his power to destroy them<br/><br/>Law<br/>1 Generally tries to keep his promises and, when in<br/>doubt, follows the rules<br/>2 Has a set of guidelines he generally lives by<br/>3 Genuinely respects authority figures for their positions<br/>4 Willing to see one person killed or hurt if it helps<br/>large numbers of people<br/>5 Willing to follow a code or a strict set of principles<br/>even if it brings misfortune on himself<br/>8 Would be willing to see many people harmed or<br/>killed if it helped society as a whole<br/>9 Follows a set path in so orderly a way as to risk blind<br/>self-destruction. Despises and fears individuality.<br/><br/>Chaos<br/>1 A bit of a nonconformist or free spirit<br/>2 Will lie if it suits him, hates to be ordered around<br/>3 Disorganized but extremely easygoing<br/>5 Rejects the idea of majority rule<br/>6 Prefers anarchy to any other form of organization<br/>7 Occasionally destroys things in reckless abandon<br/>9 Hates structure and order so much that destruction<br/>for its own sake becomes desirable<br/><br/>Spells, classes or abilities that call for a particular alignment<br/>actually require a rating of at least 2 in that alignment."

speaking, it's a bad sign when the daughter of a Fire-aspected warrior line Exalts while taking a test in school.  It's worse when she Exalts as an Aspect of Water.  The fact that Amaya still had no particular interest in joining the legions was just icing on the cake.<br/><br/>It's not that her family doesn't like Amaya -- it's hard not to<em>like</em>her -- but Amaya is a little too good-natured and not nearly violent enough to suit their tastes.  Amaya is the granddaughter of the warlord Yan Sing Iniro, and her breeding is obvious despite her unfortunate aspect, but Amaya would rather emulate Sextes Jylis than Hesiesh or Mela.<br/><br/>Amaya would like nothing better than to study medicine, and several of her teachers have been impressed enough with her skills to pull strings and gain her access to powerful healing artifacts.  Her family, however, has decided that if they can't get her to fight, Amaya's Water aspect may as well be useful to them in other ways, and she's been shunted into the Spiral Academy.  The legions will have plenty of paperwork for her when she graduates.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/>Amaya stands about 5'4"", with deep blue-green skin, and long black hair that flows like gentle waves.  A lovely young woman, she usually dresses in moderate colors.  Amaya usually carries a satchel emblazoned with the mon of Sextes Jylis, and despite her aversion to violence, she wears a pair of curved swords strapped to her back.  Although she hardly resembles Balaz, something about her stance and motion is very reminiscent of him, and she displays exactly the same sea-salt scent.<br/><br/><br/>Amaya's Retainers:<br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">Name: Yun

So, he’s left with 37.5 Experience, rounding up to 38 Experience. This leaves him with an Essence of only three at his next Exaltation, HOWEVER, he has already banked 18 experience points towards the next level of Essence, requiring only 12 experience points to reach Essence 4. They also keep two thirds of their Charms, rounded up, chosen by the player, gaining an additional 4 at their next incarnation, or 2 Immaculate charms.<br/><br/>After dying, the character gains an additional 15 Bonus Points to spend on increasing their abilities at the next incarnation. The basic idea might be a little bit reminiscient of transmigration in Disgaea, which is good, as that’s a useful example. You also get the regular Background points appropriate to a new character.<br/><br/>As a note, age is cumulative for Essence. Let's say you have two incarnations, both of which have lived 250 years- That means that your Essence has a max of 7- if I'm remembering my Age to Essence Max rules correctly. But you get what I mean. This DOES mean that these Dragon-Blooded will have the potential to increase their Essence above 7.<br/><br/>"

7077,[WoD: Where did that 4th wall go?] (Information),https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=8153.0,"19-12-2006, 10:45:35",GoldenChild,"<strong>Fourth wall</strong><br/>The fourth wall is the imaginary invisible wall at the front of the stage in a proscenium theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play. The concept is generally presumed to have originated in nineteenth century theatre with the advent of theatrical realism.<br/><br/><strong>Origin and meaning</strong><br/>Although it originated in theatre, where conventional three-walled stage sets provide a more literal ""fourth wall"", the term has been adopted by other media, such as cinema, television, and literature, to more generally refer to the boundary between the fiction and the audience.<br/>The fourth wall is part of the suspension of disbelief between a fictional work and an audience. The audience will usually passively accept the presence of the fourth wall without giving it any direct thought, allowing them to enjoy the fiction as if they were observing real events. The presence of a fourth wall is one of the best established conventions of fiction and as such has led some artists to draw direct attention to it for dramatic effect. For instance, in A.R. Gurney's The Fourth Wall, a quartet of characters deal with housewife Peggy's obsession with a blank wall in her house, slowly being drawn into a series of theatre clichés as the furniture and action on the stage become more and more directed to the supposed fourth wall.<br/><br/><strong>Breaking the fourth wall</strong><br/>The term ""breaking the fourth wall"" is used in film, theatre, television, and literary works, originating from Bertolt Brecht's theory of ""epic theatre"" that he developed from (and in contrast to) Konstantin Stanislavski's drama theory. It refers to a character directly addressing an audience, or actively acknowledging (through breaking character or through dialogue) that the characters and action are not real -- in other words, the audience is made explicitly aware of the fact that they are viewing a work of fiction. Various artists have used this jarring effect to make a point, as it forces an audience to see the fiction in a new light and to watch it less passively. Bertolt Brecht was known for deliberately breaking the fourth wall to encourage his audience to think more critically about what they were watching, referred to as Verfremdungseffekt (often translated to ""alienation effect"").<br/>The sudden breaking of the fourth wall is often employed for comical effect, as a sort of visual non-sequitur; the unexpected breaking from normal conventions of narrative fiction can surprise the audience and create humour. A very early example of this occurs in Francis Beaumont's The Knight of the Burning Pestle, which contains three characters who are purportedly part of the audience. They interrupt the prologue and demand to be consulted on the plot, ordering a number of sudden (and usually extremely awkward) changes throughout the play, with perhaps-hilarious results.<br/><br/>Such exploitation of an audience's familiarity with the conventions of fiction is a key element in many works defined as post-modern, which dismantle established rules of fiction. Works which break or directly refer to the fourth wall often utilize other post-modern devices such as meta-reference or breaking character.<br/><br/>A compromise to the concept often occurs in improvisational theater, in which the audience is asked to interact with the players to some extent, such as by voting on a resolution to a mystery. In that case, the audience members are treated as if they were witnesses to the action in the play, effectively becoming ""actors"" rather than being a true ""fourth wall."" This is a major tenet of Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed.<br/><br/>The fourth wall is sometimes included as part of the narrative, when a character discovers that they are part of a fiction and 'breaks the fourth wall' to make contact with their audience, as seen in films such as the Last Action Hero or The Purple Rose of Cairo. In these situations however, the 'fourth wall' that the character breaks remains part of the overall narrative and the wall between the real audience and the fiction remains intact. These sorts of stories do not actually break the fourth wall in the strictest sense, but are more properly referred to as metafiction, or fiction that refers to the conventions of fiction.<br/><br/>It is arguable that this technique was first employed in the modern sense, (i.e. not in which an actor merely makes a clarifying aside to the audience, or clever implied self-references are made, but rather when the fourth wall is demolished to the point that there no longer remains any significant division between performance and audience, with drama joining reality or the exact opposite depending on one's perspective), in the sensational 1921 premiere of Pirandello's play Sei Personaggi in Cerca d'Autore (Six Characters in Search of an Author), wherein six ordinary people come to the rehearsal of a play to demand that their stories be told as part of the performance.<br/><br/>Many children's shows (such as Dora the Explorer) have no fourth wall and the viewer is made a ""character""."

times a black-humored<br/>seductress.  In the fall, Kumiko's bond with her kimono will put her in a<br/>deeply romantic spirit.  The rest of the year, it will tease her towards<br/>senuality and even

and protects.<br/>And yet she's never summoned her own mother.  She's afraid to, and won't<br/>admit its because she her mother died in child birth and she blames herself.<br/>Time: Kumiko sees Time as her personal domain.  She knowes other mages can do<br/>it but hasn't met any.  Known as a fortune teller back home, the manipulation<br/>of time is her Do and her Arete, her wisdom to nurture and her sword to<br/>protect.  She will pursue this as far as she can, and be a bit miffed and a bit<br/>insecure running into a more advanced time mage, or even just another.<br/>Mind:  ""Psychic powers"" are so natural to Kumiko that she really doesn't<br/>think about them except to remeber that others don't have them.  Through her<br/>martial arts, she perfects mind, body, and spirit, the more she pushes herself<br/>the stronger she becomes.   She also prays to protect the minds of others.<br/>Prime:  Percieve and absorb the ki flow of the world.  You really cant' do<br/>somethign so

Larel was not her<br/>first failure, that was her friend Megumi's mother Mimi, whom she tried to save<br/>from the vampires, and could only do so by giving her final death after her<br/>embrace.  This was the first thing to really throw her center, and in the<br/>turmoil she turned to thoughts of her own mother, not sumoning her spirit but<br/>peering back in time to see her.<br/>She didn't look at her mother's death, because she didn't want to face the<br/>reality of having killed her.  But finaly she did and recieved a shock.  Her<br/>father had lied.  She didn't kill her mother, a bloody shadow did a week after<br/>she was born.<br/>For the first time in her life, Kumiko can think about her mother without<br/>guilt.  How long will it be before she finaly seeks her nearest ancestor's<br/>wisdom and guidance?<br/><br/>Anime: Kumiko loves all kinds of anime, her family does fan subbings as a<br/>family project.  She loves it all for its own sake, and for its place in her<br/>family and peer group.<br/>But the bizare and terifying realities of her life have given her a<br/>relationship with anime not so difrent from what many of us feel, but more<br/>intense.  In anime, the heroes learn to deal with the bizare, learn to relate<br/>to the alien.  Through wits and strength they triumph, and they laugh.  Kumiko<br/>always tries to keep a little anime in her life, even if its only talking to<br/>americans in japanese and playing up the fact that she's a blue eyed japanese<br/>girl.  It's just how she deals.<br/><br/>"

And yet, in the World of Darkness, even librarians have their biker gangs, and Gill just happened to fall into one. Raising minor demons, causing havoc, and generally being a right asshole, always trying to avoid the fact that he was a PC. Mortal PCs among the Oxford crowd, at least, often felt rather depressive- Being a mortal is no fun in the world of darkness, much less when you're expected to do great things, fight creatures of the night, and ultimately, die heroically. So he fought, and he bit, and he occasionally torched a bar, but he never got caught. And so, one day, when the opportunity arose, he took the chance to become immortal.<br/><br/>He's still looking forward to the day he sucks his Sire's soul out.<br/><br/>In the meantime, he searches for a group to join, tends to avoid most other vampires, and generally enjoys being around humans. He sometimes has trouble controlling that urge to light up a building, but that's why he took such a high Willpower score. He knows, at the moment, that he's distinctly less than optimized, so he hopes to start getting some good experience, damn soon.<br/><br/>Appearance: Tall, maybe six feet, dark brown hair, glasses, and unbelievably British. The glasses are no longer necessary, but he enjoy wearing them anyway. Dresses in a leather jacket, and tends to carry a large backpack that makes clinking sounds at all times. He has a slightly superior smirk on his face at all time, and a crisp, strong british accent, usually seeming somewhat understated unless he becomes angry.<br/><br/>Personality: Brilliant, rebellious, and with a tendency to be very pissed with anyone who treats humans poorly. Whatever trouble he may give people, he likes humanity, and he shows his distaste for it's enemies with one of it's oldest friends... Fire. Fire is his obsession, and his crime, though he tries to channel it. Visit the local Insurance company, see what poor families have a sizeable amount of insurance on their crapshack, and pay a little visit for arson in the night, after warning them. He likes humans a lot, and those supernaturals who treat humans as equals, rather than cattle or vermin, get a lot of respect for him- especially among his fellow PCs. His lifestyle leaves him somewhat permanently low on cash, but he figured that there's one PC in every group who got a high Resources, so he'd crash with them- In the meantime, that Generation leaves him ready to start advancing to the more... interesting disciplines. He's relatively willing to donate his blood to any people in the group who feel they need the extra boost, or various magical hoo-hah. The drawback is occasionally having to pull him off whoever he's draining, in case his self control is lost. He has a tendency to get into combat a lot more than he probably should, considering his relatively dismal skills.<br/><br/><br/>Experience: 5/5<br/><br/>Important Experience Costs:<br/>New Ability: 3<br/>New Path: 7<br/>New Discipline: 10<br/>Attribute: Currentx4<br/>Ability: Current x2<br/>Clan Discipline: Current x5<br/>Other Discipline: Currentx7<br/>Secondary Path: Currentx4<br/>Virtue: Currentx2,<br/>Humanity: Current x2<br/>Willpower: Current rating"

So you could take Venus or Aphrodite and take this as a path if the GM is good with the idea.<br/><br/>Fankly for this a cleric is not a good choice over a priest specialty sort of holy person in my opinion.<br/><br/>Another thing I have to ask why no level limits for races seems to put the only HUMAN advantage and tosses it out? Might I suggest humans get something extra maybe to balance it out some. I might suggest one extra non-weapon proficiency slot each time they get them for the class they have. And that useable to take any one at cost even if out of their class."

By the way a priest or priestess of love MUST be wed by Level 8 its a requirement put in place by the diety. But my character is going to be a human woman with a Cha of 17 so will be cute and pleasant if you don't mind nice thieves. Likely she will be CG more a scout than a thief using her skills for good. They could share the same diety.<br/><br/>It doesn't say the spouse to be the opposite gender but according to the Priests Handbook its a restiction. If you don't wed by then the diety will exact punishment like losing spells and other things for not giving your diety her due worship. So might as well marry before the game starts.  ;) [Anyone with the book can check that out for you.]<br/><br/>And to the GM might I suggest keep this simple have a God or Goddess for each Priest Class like a God of Druids for Druids, a God of War empowering War Priests and the like with no names. With such a huge potential pantheon it would be so much simpler."

Tensions are high. A number of students have been on edge, trying to avoid maiming and such, to be well for the tests. And here you stand, in the dojo, as the entire class prays that they're not the one chosen to face off against Tsung Lain. How he found himself in the Spiral Academy is a question many have pondered, and none have adequately explained, but be that as it may, he is six feet of joint wrenching, bone-snapping Water-Aspect fury.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya paces fretfully, knuckles white around her satchel's handle.  She's desperately praying for an easy fight, someone she has a chance against or (more likely) someone who at least won't hurt her too badly.  Which is most people, since most of her classmates like her pretty well, but right now that's not too encouraging.<br/>HomerinNYC: "" Chang and Wi'n. Mallow and Rue."" Names are counted off, and neither your name nor Tsung's have been called yet. The groups face off against eachother in the spacious dojo.<br/>Dullone598: She listens carefully, not liking the way the odds are narrowing down.  But she should probably be okay...<br/>Dullone598: (by the way, are the duels random or actually chosen by someone?)<br/>Dullone598: (also, which is the dude's given name and which is his family name?)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Random. And in his case, given is Tsung, family is Lain. His family is probably from a Western archipelago.)<br/>Dullone598: (Shit.)<br/>HomerinNYC: "" And finally... Amaya, and Tsung."" Tsung walks out to the field, and stands quietly, grinning, going down into a low stance. He usually doesn't use the charms that he knows, as it tends to be overkill... but he seems to have an unusual extra glint in his eyes today.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya nearly chokes, taking a step back and looking around wildly for a moment, as though she hopes there's another Amaya in the class that she didn't know about.  After a moment, she sighs in resignation, and hands her satchel to Vel.<br/>Dullone598: She hangs her head as she walks out onto the field, going into the best approximation of a stance she can come up with.  Which is a lot better than she thinks it is.  ""Um, Tsung?  Can we talk about this...?""<br/>HomerinNYC: Tsung grins quietly, and you remember a visit to the Imperial Zoo when you were younger. Your family visited the Aquarium, and one of the new arrivals to the Aquarium was a River Dragon, grinning out through the glass, the vicious teeth gleaming through the murky water. Tsung's grin reminds you worryingly of the grin on that predator, as he moves into the Terrestrial Hero Form, his body moving in sudden, unexpected directions, a chaotic mess of a form, that promises a LOT of pain.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya takes a deep breath, preparing for the mauling of a lifetime, and looks like she's about ready to cry.<br/>Dullone598: (Breath and Essence Control.  Join Battle roll is automatically 5 successes.  Personal motes now 11/14.)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Going to use the Form, or?)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Alright.)<br/>Dullone598: (No.  No real use here, and it takes motes that are better spent attacking in this case)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( True.)<br/>HomerinNYC: Tsung gives a cocky grin, standing in his form, waiting for you to make an attack.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya blinks, starting to take a cautious step forward -- and suddenly the terror in her eyes is replaced by a scintillating white light, her anima suddenly roaring up behind her like a great tsunami.  All at once she's moving, hands ablaze in red and green, and lunging to the attack as the bizarre light show flickers through the crashing waves around her.  She spins, faster than anyone's seen Amaya even think about moving before, raining brutal knife-hand blows on the poor unfortunate sadist in front of her.<br/>HomerinNYC: ( One die stunt bonus there.)<br/>Dullone598: (1m into Gruesome Wood King Revelry.  1 WP to declare Wrath of Heaven's Chosen.  4m for Flashing Zephyr Speed Stance, splitting 3 ways.  12m for Fiery Garda Force Attack on each, 12m for Deep Cut on each, leaving 9 peripheral motes left.  2m each to add 4 dice to each attack.  Taking back 2m if the stunt succeeds, for 5m peripheral left after the fact.)<br/>Dullone598: (1 WP to channel Conviction on the first, so attack pools will be 15, 11, 10.  Also, she stops if he's going to actually die, but not before.)<br/>Dullone598: (6, 7, and 5 successes.  What's the man's DV and/or soak?)<br/>HomerinNYC: Dodge DV of 4, Soak of 2 Lethal, 4 Bashing.<br/>Dullone598: (No armor involved?)<br/>HomerinNYC: It's Martial Arts class, so nah.<br/>HomerinNYC: Nobody's been able to do the level of damage that would require armor reliably to him, anyway.<br/>Dullone598: 2 hit on the first, 4 on the second, 3 on the third.  3L, then 5L, then 4L (it matters for Deep Cut to keep them seperate)<br/>Dullone598: (Bet he rethinks that now.)<br/>Dullone598: (6L, crippled twice, severed once.)<br/>Dullone598: (Also Amaya gets 6m back from Wood King Revelry)<br/>HomerinNYC: He stands still for a moment after you've passed by him, his form stopped for a moment, one arm in the air. He stares around a bit, momentarily shocked, and then his right arm falls off, cleanly sliced through at the bicep. His legs, viciously cut by the knife-blade hands, crumple, and he falls backwards slowly, screaming for a few seconds before the shock knocks him unconcious. The entire dojo goes quiet, everyone staring as a pool of blood forms around him quickly- he may very well die if he doesn't get some help soon.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya lands in a crouch on the opposite side of Tsung, anima dying down slightly but still roaring powerfully.  The blood that's splashed onto her arms is already soaking in, leaving an odd green residue for a moment.<br/>HomerinNYC: The water pouring out of your anima slams against the ground, splintering several sections, and there's going to be some severe water damage before it's finished, the raging tsunami of your Essence clearly not finished with it's rage.<br/>Dullone598: She blinks after a moment, looking around, her face the perfect picture of confusion.  She can't even remember the last time her anima looked like this.  ""Um...what just happened?""<br/>HomerinNYC: Nobody answers for the moment, though a few of your friends look distinctly disturbed by what just happened. Tsung coughs slightly, the blood mixing with the water seeping off of your anima. He'll probably be rethinking his personality a great deal, if he survives.<br/>Dullone598: Her breath catches in her throat as she turns and catches sight of her opponent.<br/>Dullone598: (Does the DB anima die down to the point where it won't hurt other Exalted after an action?)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Yea.)<br/>Dullone598: ""Tsung?  What's going on?""  Panicked, Amaya drops to her knees, heedless of the fact that he probably would have done something just as bad to her.  She tears a strip of his sleeve off, trying to tourniquet his arm so he doesn't bleed out and die.<br/>Dullone598: (4m personal into 1st Medicine Ex.)<br/>Dullone598: (10 successes)<br/>HomerinNYC: The wound is simple to tourniquet. The cuts look practically cauterized. The teacher quickly strides next to you, kneeling and handing you your satchel. "" The healers are on their way. I believe that we will be ending class early today...""<br/>Dullone598: ""But...I don't understand,"" she protests helplessly.  ""Did I just do that?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" I'd recommend not thinking about it for now."" The look he gives you, though, is quite odd... Half suspicious, half fearful.<br/>Dullone598: ""But...""  Her voice trails off, staring down at the fallen Tsung.<br/>Dullone598: Not thinking about it for now is, of course, a completely absurd request.<br/>HomerinNYC: "" He'll survive. And I believe we'll be ending class early. You are dismissed!"" he calls out to the assembled people. They seem rather eager to leave, though several of your friends stay back to see if you'll be alright.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya shakily gets to her feet, fiddling with her satchel.  ""We should, um, apply the instrument of regrowth right away,"" she suggests, trying to focus on something she actually knows for a change.  She glances around at the others, but finds that she doesn't have much to say.<br/>HomerinNYC: "" If it's worth anything to you, May, he deserved it."" Mallow smiles a little bit, patting you on the back.<br/>Dullone598: ""Nobody deserves that,"" she whispers quietly.<br/>Dullone598: She extracts the instrument of regrowth from the satchel, still set with the monkey stone from her family's manse on the east side of the Isle, and sets it carefully around the stump of Tsung's arm.<br/>Dullone598: ""And, I mean...how did I do that?  I barely know how to throw a punch!""  It's an exaggeration, but not by much.<br/>HomerinNYC: "" May, we all know you can heal it."" Rue sits nearby. "" He probably would've done worse to you, and you can't afford that with the Final Exams coming up.""<br/>HomerinNYC: Mallow raises an eyebrow. "" I thought you'd been training in secret, or something. Isn't that the Even Blade style?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" Students, I believe you have finals to be preparing for. I need to have a word with young Yan Sing."" Master Jen Rie Su. Master of the dojo, and trained in the Immaculate Martial Arts. The others quietly gulp, and leave, though not before whispering some words of encouragement.<br/>Dullone598: ""Um...that swordfighting technique?""  She looks down at her hands, utterly confused.  ""Master?  What's going on?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" You're related to a... Balaz, yes?"" he asks, quietly helping you up. The arm appears to be regrowing well enough, Tsung will probably be fine.<br/>Dullone598: ""Um...""  She thinks for a moment.  ""Balaz?  That was my second cousin's name.  But I've never even met him, Master.  Didn't he disappear five or six years ago?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" He was a brilliant fighter, and an imbecile at the realities of life."" He quietly rubs his chin. "" He was also a master of the Even Blade Style. Are you certain you never met him?""<br/>Dullone598: Amaya nervously runs her fingers through her hair, not that it changes much.  ""Yes, Master.  I'm certain.  And even if I had, I couldn't have learned it from him.  I wasn't Exalted yet before he vanished.""<br/>HomerinNYC: He pats your head. "" You are a good thinker, and a great healr. I'd recommend that for the time being, you concentrate on your final exams. Young Tsung will heal, and I think that what you did to him will do him a great deal of good.""<br/>Dullone598: She looks down at Tsung.  Right now, the fact that he'll heal -- as good as new, in fact -- isn't very comforting.  ""Yes, Master,"" she says quietly.<br/>HomerinNYC: He smiles. "" Now, be on your way, the healers are here."" Several men and women walk in, looking over the scene. One of them looks up to you as he checks the items. "" This your work? It's exellent.""<br/>Dullone598: ""Um...thank you.""  Amaya looks disturbed, as though she shouldn't be taking credit for fixing what she broke in the first place.  ""He'll be all right, won't he?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" Yes. Do you mind if we leave this on him until his arm has regrown? It can be a bit dangerous to change a healing satchel while a limb is being regrown...""<br/>Dullone598 signed on at 2:12:38 PM.<br/>Dullone598: ""Of course not.""  Amaya looks down at her satchel, disturbed.  ""I...I don't think I'll be needing that Essence for a while.""  Hopefully not ever.<br/>HomerinNYC: They carry him out carefully. "" Amaya, fixing a thing you have broken is still a good thing to do. It's important for people in this world to know how to fix their mistakes.""<br/>Dullone598: ""But isn't it even more important to know how you made the mistake in the first place?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" For now, it seems that is quite unlikely. We must change what we can, help where we can, and learn to live with what we cannot yet.""<br/>Dullone598: She nods, unhelpful as that is right now.  ""All right.  I guess I'd, um, better go study.""  Not that exams are all that hard with Charms at hand, but right now it seems like a great excuse.<br/>HomerinNYC: Four experience for showing up, and one experience for maiming the school bully."

"" Shogi is still popular among the people in the know. Gateway's another fad, I imagine nobody will have heard of it in another fifty years."" She sets out the board, laying the pieces on the table. "" And it has been busy- just another part of being a Prince of Earth."" She smiles cheerfully.<br/>circlmastr: Ofuji sighs as he looks over the pieces, trying to recall some of the different openings he was reading about at the last club meeting.  ""True, true.  Still, I'd like something more.  My father fought in campaigns for years, building up a loyal army and making the world a safer place.  And after he died, what am I left with?  A few retainers from his bodyguard, the proceeds from his arsenal, and no father to help me through my Exaltation.""<br/>HomerinNYC: She softly pats your shoulder.

An officer who worked with your father, and died with him.<br/>HomerinNYC: The first five rounds go by quickly, and she seems rather impressed by your playing. "" You're doing better than usual..."" She's got a bit of an advantage, but not nearly as much as she usually does.<br/>circlmastr: ""I was studying openers before, remember?  I was hoping to have more development in the center by now, though.  You'll probably roll over me...""  Ofuji stared at the board, wondering what the hell he was supposed to do next.<br/>HomerinNYC: You start gaining ground rapidly, and she smiles as she moves her pieces. "" Why, you have been practicing... I must say, you're doing a good deal better than you usually do."" She grins towards you. "" Have you been practicing with another partner, hmmm?""<br/>circlmastr: He couldn't help but grin and try to take a jab at Morigin, hoping to get her thinking about something other than the board.  ""Oh, absolutely.  I've been courting concubines and planning my harem just so I can play Shogi whenever I want.""  Focusing his eyes on the board, he felt his essence burn brighter behind his eyes: the board flushed red, and the tiles seemed to dance around, not quite randomly... and then he realized they were potential moves, maybe even winning moves.<br/>HomerinNYC: She smiles. "" Hmmmmm, but how many concubines can you find who are really good at Shogi?"" She smiles, continuing to make her moves, but you're definitely gaining on her, and she raises an eyebrow. "" My, you have been practicing a bit...""<br/>circlmastr: Ofuji smiled, glancing up at the young lady but keeping his attention on the board.  ""I could always start with you, omae.  I'm sure you'd perform both services well.""  Again he was trying to throw her, but more than that, he was seeing the tip of social lessons he'd studied: on the surface it was a game of Shogi, but beneath that was a current of social power, a current that always flowed to Morigin because she always beat Ofuji.  But he could beat her now.  He was winning, and he could see the tiles moving in his mind's eye, closing in inexorably toward victory.  He could see himself winning not only the game, but the social dominance as well.  It would almost be a small first step toward holding sway in the Imperial court, or maybe even the entire Realm.  Nothing would stop him now.<br/>HomerinNYC: She seems a bit caught off guard by your comment, and her pieces drop like flies as your playing refines itself. "" My... I seem to have lost."" She seems a bit surprised by how fast you put her pieces into check, subjugating the board."" She smiles towards you. "" You've become a much better player, Ofuji. I'll want to know your secret some time."" She giggles softly, smiling.<br/>circlmastr: Ofuji returned the smile, looking up into the young girl's eyes.  The movement of the Shogi tiles reminded him of his father, somehow.  Perhaps the visualization of the different possibilities, or the overall strategy of attacking where the enemy doesn't expect it with overwhelming force.  Of course, overwhelming an opponent was also a social strategy, pressing a situation hard so he does not have the time or composure to craft an appropriate response.  Ofuji hadn't realized it before, but war was a lot like politics.  For the first time he saw real power in his grasp, and he liked it.  He liked it so much, he decided to keep pressing Morigin, to keep that overwhelming force going.  ""I would like to start with you, omae.  Your mother served my father loyally, even to death.  Would it not be fitting for you to serve me?""<br/>HomerinNYC: She quietly taps her chin. "" I'll consider it, Ofuji."" She smiles. "" For now, though, we probably need to get to work studying."" She smiles, standing up, and bowing politely to you, perhaps a bit more polite than usual, even. "" I look forward to playing against you again next week."" She smiles softly, and walks away."

The fibers in the legs were heavily damaged, presumably from the same creature that killed your father- losing it's life in the process- but thankfully, the school had plenty enough material to help fix them. You've had some help from Jophan, a young Wood Exalt who wishes to become a summoner, who, as it happens, is working in the room next to yours, practicing his first full summoning.<br/>Tenshi Muse (2:07:13 AM): Allisara ran her fingertips along the smoothly polished blue jade.  ""I can't believe it's finished,"" she whispered.<br/><br/>Opening a compartment, she dropped in her father's Hearthstones and listened to the subtle humming of the armor begining to power up.  She whished so desperatly that she could use it, make it one with her the way her father had.  She stared at the helmet carefuly, then looked at the closed door.<br/><br/>Blushing softly, she peeled out of her outer clothes and began to don the armor.  ""This is ridiculous,"" she whispered, ""I probably can't even move with this thing on.""<br/><br/>Grumbling at her own flight of fancy and forbiden pleasure, she locked the chestplate in place, feeling it mash her breasts against her chest while it was too wide in the shoulders and waist, tight in the hips.  Naturaly it was looser everywhere than it would be if she were actualy able to atune to it.  She reached for the helmet and stared at it, wondering if her mother had ever seen her father wearing it.  She certainly told enough awe-filled tales of the great deeds he'd done in this armor.<br/>HomerinNYC (2:12:33 AM): The memories of those old days are chased away when there's a yell from the next room, and the bloody sound of a body striking a wall- something's gone wrong. And then the tales come back.<br/><br/>You see each of those stories your mother told you of, the days your father served in the glorious Seventh Legion, the angry little god Seteth Munra who your father managed to subdue after he slew a score of mortal troops, the demons who fell before his sword, and those last few moments he remembered as he cut at the creature which had already killed him, lying on the ice, his thoughts going back to his wife, and his children, and the only time your father ever wept, leaving perfect diamonds of blue jade on the ground as his men fought valiantly to stop the horde of horrors.<br/><br/>And you realize, you know how he fought, and the fight calls to you, to help your friend, and to fufill your destiny- and to help your father enjoy the satisfaction of at least one more battle.<br/>Tenshi Muse (2:24:19 AM): Without a thought, relying on instincts and reflexes not her own, Alisarra jammed the helmet on her head and twisted it into place.  Then she flexed...  Something.  Something powerful and cold and alive like a brisk winter's day.  The armor flexed and shuddered as it whirred to life.  It rippled, then clenched shut, reshaping as it sucked in to fit the body of a beauty she'd only dreamed of before, feathersteel and blue jade plates moulding to a body to live and die for.<br/><br/>For a split instant, she caught site of herself in the mirror and gawked, then the reflex hit her again and she hurled jerked the door open, shouldered rolled out it to come up in a crouch, checked if the hall was clear...<br/><br/>Experience not her own tempered her exuberance.  Either her friend was already dead, or he had a few moments yet to live.  She inhaled and assumed the Five Dragon Form and the Five Dragon Blocking Technique, and fed motes to the helmet's lens to activate their Essence Sight.  Then she kicked open the door to Jophan's study, meaning to lead off her attack with a lightning bolt.<br/>HomerinNYC (2:33:25 AM): A hideous ape-like creature, clearly an Erymanthoi, stands over Jophan's body, a massive bone club in it's hand. Jophan doesn't appear to be dead, but he's hurt- badly. It growls, and blurs momentarily, focusing itself to draw upon the principles that the Primordials forged when they built the world, moving in the most efficient ways and angles possible, body blurring as it prepares to attack you.<br/>HomerinNYC (2:34:13 AM): It moves quickly, drawing the club upwards, and bringing it down, striking the strong, jade-forged armor three times in rapid succession.<br/>Tenshi Muse (2:41:23 AM): Lightning arced up Alissara's arms as the moved smoothly, trailing snowflakes, to catch each of the three blows on her gauntlets.<br/>HomerinNYC (2:56:43 AM): The blood ape shrieks angrily as you cut at it, essence-edged fists cutting it badly. The creature growls at you, and leaps again, battering you with the bone club angrily, clearly wanting vengeance.<br/>Tenshi Muse (3:00:22 AM): The amrored girl's fists cracked into the demons belly, then sternum, then she leapt high to drive her fist up into it's chin.  Coming down she crossed her wrists to catch the hammering club, then dropped low to avoid being crushed.  She knocked a second downwards strike to the right, then to the left.  Ready now, she skipped up onto the club as it was raised up, which hurled her into the air.  As she came down, she laced her fingers together.  Frost shot up her gloves and a ball of lighting arched out of her fingers as she brought her essence charged fists down on at the demon's head.<br/>HomerinNYC (3:06:22 AM): The creature shrieks, clearly badly wounded now, taking a last few desperate swings at you.<br/>HomerinNYC (3:09:20 AM): The creature's blows have been increasingly desperate, and it throws itself off balance with it's frenzied attacks, leaving you in a perfect position to kick some ass.<br/>Tenshi Muse (3:10:55 AM): ""Skum of the hells,"" she hissed in a voice that exuded conficence, even a sexy arogance the mousy girl had never dreamed of exuding before, ""Time to send you back to the Abyss that spawne you.""  She arched her fingers into the dragon claw position and long talons of lightning extended from them.  ""Languish in slime tell the end of time.""<br/><br/>She struck.<br/>HomerinNYC (3:17:51 AM): The creature stops dead, and blood drips from all parts of it's body, as it slowly evaporates into blood and steam, leaving Japhon lying on the floor, and slowly coming out of it. "" Who..."" He looks up towards the armor. "" Alissara... Is that you...? How did you get the armor to work..."" He then notices the powerful anima whirling around you, and his face breaks into a grin. "" You did it! You exalted...."" He smiles, seeming to fade out for a moment- he took quite a beating.<br/>Tenshi Muse (3:20:53 AM): She grinned and slipped off the helmet.  ""I did, didn't I?  Japhon, this is incredible!  My mind, my body, my gods, I'm so alive it hurts!  Oh...!  I'm sorry, you're half dead, and I can't even touch you!  Was that the only one?  Will you be safe while I dart down to the infirmiry for help?""<br/>HomerinNYC (3:22:30 AM): He slowly sits up. "" Yes... I failed to bind it."" He sighs, lowering his head. "" I'm ashamed- I couldn't even bind an Erymanthoi."" He smiles towards you. "" But you've Exalted, so things have turned out fairly well."" He grins. "" No worries, the infirmary will probably send someone here soon-"" The door bursts open, and a teacher, bow in hand, stares. "" Ah... Jophan, I believe the alarm for this room activated?"" "" Yes, but... Alissara saved me."" He smiles, and the Teacher opens his eyes a bit wider. "" Is this true, young lady?""<br/>Tenshi Muse (3:25:08 AM): She smiled and held up the blood steaming off of her crackling gauntlets.  The steam wafted away into the swirling snow surounding her.  ""I had it's hart in my had for a good three seconds before it evaporated, sensei.  I'm quite confidant it didn't just dematerialize.""<br/>HomerinNYC (3:26:17 AM): He smiles. "" It is good to see you have Exalted..."" He looks towards Jophan warningly. "" You should be more careful about your summonings from now on. You won't always have Miss Ky'lilandrin here to protect you..."" He grins. "" I believe that you are due an admission into the school, Alissara..."""

Leaving with the accolades of your teahcers, and the envy of your schoolmates, the trip back to your households is made.<br/><br/>Ofuji finds himself back at the modest Manse that his mother lives in, along with his grandparents, all of whom have been proud of your growing military and political prowess. One of the retainers greets you at the door, and smiles warmly. "" Young master Toshiro! It is good to see you again."" He bows. "" Your mother is expecting you in her room. She is very proud of your accomplishments- Your grandparents as well have given their regards, though I am afraid they are currently on a business trip."" Your father's parents, much like their son, died during the Fair Folk invasion, but your mother's parents are still alive, a wealthy merchant line- The marriage gave the merchant line a strong military backing, and the military line a more steady financial take. And, surprisingly, your parents were still relatively congenial in their relationship. The retainer bows, and the memory of the walk to your mother's room comes back, the memories of the few times when she asked you to visit the room. The house is slightly dusty, a few signs of the loss in the family's fortunes since the military side was devastated in the Great Contagion.<br/><br/>Amaya finds herself back at the forbidding war manse that houses her extended family. Children are duelling in the yard, slaves working in the small orchard, and your older brother meets you at the door. "" Hello, Sister. I'm told that you managed to cut off a man's arm with your bare hand. Everyone is extremely proud."" He smiles. "" Mother and Father wish to talk to you- It seems that there's something very important they need to tell you."" He opens the door, ushering you in to the intimidatingly large hall. It stretches up nearly a hundred feet, the ivy of the Manse's stray essence climbing the pillars in perfect geometric patterns, and the sun piercing a small opening, flooding the entire room with light- At the moment unblocked by a Hearthstone, though if something unfortunate were to happen, the hall would be suffused with the magnificent green light of the Wood-Aspect Hearthstone, that made this place popular for those family members who had been injured in battle- it was sometimes said that it made the place wounded stronger than it was before, and was the pride of your family. For now, the Hearthstone is being used by your uncle, in a war going on in the South. The hall is empty for the moment, making your steps echo throughout the hall. A lot of family has died in the last twenty years, that odd second cousin not the only one among them.<br/><br/>Alissara reaches the small manse that she managed to earn for herself and her mother after she Exalted- the Contagion left very few sorcerors, let alone sorceror technicians of Alissara's skill. She's been able to parley that into a good home for her mother, and membership for both of them in one of the great Dragon-Blooded families. The Manse, while small by Dragon-Blood standards, is practically a palace compared to your patrician home. You're even able to afford a retainer for your mother, who greets you at the door, smiling. "" Ah, madam, it is good to see you again. Your mother has news that she wished to tell you in private."" He opens the door, smiling, allowing you in- The large suit of armor, your father's heirloom, stands in the hall, having been delivered scant hours ago. He directs you through the house to meet your mother in the parlor."

Her mother is still relatively young, only fourty years of age, and has kept her beauty remarkably well for a mortal. She softly hugs you as you enter, smiling as she sits. She is similarly well-dressed, garbed in flattering, but not overly revealing robes, and her hair of a fair length. The blonde hair and pale skin set her rather apart from the common inhabitant of the Realm, of course. The room is rather elegant, though understated, with a few old war trophies from the North, and the portrait of your father in his full armor "" My dear daughter, I am glad to see you are well."" She's always been proud as can be of the success you've shown in life, and supportive of your choices in recent year, not only out of self-interest, though your success has been good to her. "" I have some rather exciting news... The Empress herself has requested a meeting with you, of the utmost importance, scheduled one week from today at the Palace of the Scarlet Empress."" The Empress felt that residing within the Palace of the Anathema was not what she needed for her seat of power. "" She was quite recalcitrant about what she wanted to meet about, but it would certainly be a great boon to your career."" She smiles. "" And it would be a great honor for you to meet the Scarlet Empress herself.""<br/><br/>Amaya walks through the empty great hall, the dust quietly falling behind her as she once again leaves it empty. She moves through the endless hallways, till she ends in the master bedroom- unprecedently, both Mother and Father are present at the same time, and odder still, they seem to have been waiting for you. "" Ah, good. You're here."" Your mother's tone is not warm, but neither is it as chilly as it usually is. "" We've been informed of your escapades in your school. We heard that you mangled a bully."" "" We were very proud. We hadn't expected you'd get proper combat training in that school."" Father may have just spoken to you for the longest at any one time. "" We've had very good news, Amaya. The Scarlet Empress will be meeting with you in one week. We hope you will make a favorable impression on her, the Realm is in a fragile state, and we will want to have the favor of the current dictator."" Mother has never been fond of the Scarlet Empress. Her brother was one of the officers who joined the Scarlet Empress in the Palace of the Anathema, and she's never been happy that he was not the one to take the reins of the realm. "" And do try to remember, if she wants you to kill someone- Arms, when detached, are meant to remain detached."" Father gives that little smile that tells you he's joking, only it's not really wise to bet it's really a joke. After you are ushered out quickly, you find yourself walking back to your room- and stopping as you see a large portrait. It's in an older section of the house, but it's quite obvious what it is, once you see the name... It's the second cousin. Despite it all, he definitely has a certain resemblance to you, in the incredibly strong markings of the Water. And as his stance and the caption state, he was a master of the Even Blade form...<br/><br/>For a moment, everything goes dark. You remember water, blood, claws, the elation of victory, and grinding teeth, watching a daiklave sink into a small lake. You reawake, gasping for air quickly from the memory of pain, and yet, things seem to be quiet once again... Perhaps the work of a spectre, might be wise to call the Immaculate Order in.<br/><br/>Ofuji is answered quickly by his mother. She has always been fond of him, reminded of his father by her son. "" Ofuji! It is good to see you. It rust that you have been doing well in your studies?"" She smiles, inviting you to sit. Her outfit is appropriate, a beautiful green kimono with a small rose sown along the arm, the symbol of her family, and she sits across from a small coffee table. Shinji appears momentarily with two hot cups of jasmine tea, leaving respectfully as your mother begins to talk. "" We've recieved word from the Empress- She has sent a message that you are to meet with her in a week. This would be a superb chance for you to meet the Empress- I know that you have shown a great deal of interest in that..."" She smiles. She knew enough to know that when a child wrote stories about becoming a ruler of the Realm as a child, it can pay off when one harnesses those impulses, cultivates them. "" I have already arranged the carriage to take you there."" She smiles- despite that slightly scheming nature, she was still an unusually warm and present parent for a Dragon-Blood.<br/><br/>"

She says, her voice quiet but full of command and the knowledge of her own skill and power.<br/>circlmastr (3:54:14 PM): Ofuji channeled a few motes of his essence into an Auspicious First Meeting Attitude, giving a polite bow of the head as he greeted the girls at the gate before sitting.<br/>Dullone598 (3:54:23 PM): Amaya bows, feeling like she might just drop dead in her tracks at any moment, but takes her seat as instructed.<br/>Tenshi Muse (3:56:11 PM): Not meaning to one up her companions, Alissara had already gone down on one knee, she blushed softly at being uncordinated with her companions, but was already dismissed from the formalities, so she rose and she sat, unlocking<br/>Tenshi Muse (3:56:19 PM): her gloves to warm her hands on the teacup.<br/>HomerinNYC (3:57:27 PM): She quietly takes a sip from her teacup. "" I have called you three here because you have been recommended to me by your instructors at your respective schools.""<br/>HomerinNYC (3:58:12 PM): "" You are skilled, you show unusual strength of Essence, you have shown a certain level of ambitiousness, and most importantly, you have not gotten yourself into the pockets of every Dragon Blood on the island.""<br/>circlmastr (3:58:13 PM): Ofuji took a sip of tea and casually crossed one leg, as if he was sitting to drink with a friend. For that was how he planned to endear himself to the Empress; not full of pride and bravado as trying to act her bettor,<br/>circlmastr (3:58:15 PM): nor full of humble mewling obeiyesance as most sycophants greet her. Instead, he would present himself as her equal.<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:03:15 PM): Alissara smiled slightly. ""We have an empire to forge you, exalted one, it wouldn't do to become to embroiled in polotics with a world to unite.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:05:20 PM): ""You honor me, your Majesty. I didn't think my instructors thought so highly of me.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:05:33 PM): Amaya is suddenly very glad that she's never had much interest in politics.<br/>circlmastr (4:06:44 PM): Ofuji smiled gently, glad to set himself apart from the attitudes of the others. ""It is always a pleasure to see you, my lady."" The lack of formal title being quite intentional, and yet not at all disrespectful.<br/>circlmastr (4:06:58 PM): ""Please, do go on.""<br/>HomerinNYC (4:08:05 PM): She quietly raises an eyebrow towards Ofuji's manner, but does not seem to take immediate offense at this. "" I need a hand, to be used in the distant lands where I have no power as of yet, and where it would require<br/>HomerinNYC (4:08:52 PM): too many resources to install a garrison. In short, I wish to make you my agents in the Realm, and the Threshold. I will give you missions at times, to undertake, and in return, you will have the resources of the Realm.""<br/>circlmastr (4:09:57 PM): Ofuji's smile did not waver; he had been expecting some assignment that sent him from the Blessed Isle, though he did not enjoy it. Still, better to get it out of the way now than be sent off at a critical moment.<br/>Dullone598 (4:10:36 PM): ""Missions? Um...what sort of missions, Majesty?""<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:11:14 PM): (My apologies, but my transportation situation is precarious, and I'm going to have to leave any minute now, suddenly and with minimal warning.)<br/>circlmastr (4:11:22 PM): (Doh)<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:11:32 PM): Alissara smiled, ""You honor me with this trust, Exalted One.""<br/>HomerinNYC (4:11:33 PM): ( Shouldn't be too much of a problem, I'll try to get to the point.)<br/>HomerinNYC (4:11:48 PM): "" I will be using you as my agents in the West. Salvage, strategic sabotage against the Lintha, making sure that tribute is not obstructed. You will be given a Manse out in the West as a base of operations.""<br/>HomerinNYC (4:13:00 PM): She smiles. "" I realize you have your duties to your family- You will spend a year in the West before returning here. I will send you messages occasionally on missions that I wish you to do- that will take priority,<br/>circlmastr (4:13:01 PM): ""Quite interesting, my lady."" Ofuji wondered how long-term this mission might be, if we were getting a manse. ""It sounds quite like an adventure."" He grinned softly, then took another sip of tea.<br/>HomerinNYC (4:13:31 PM): but otherwise you are free to spend your time however you wish there. The West has a great deal of open territory for those who wish to claim it."" She quietly sips her tea, smiling.<br/>HomerinNYC (4:13:52 PM): "" Your first mission will reach you soon after you arrive at the Manse. I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with it while you have the chance.""<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:15:32 PM): ""That will be a pleasure.""<br/>circlmastr (4:16:01 PM): One year away. I'll need to write many letters. ""But of course. Perhaps you might care to visit once we have made it a bit more homely, my lady.""<br/>HomerinNYC (4:16:38 PM): "" Perhaps. You are to leave in one week, hopefully enough time to inform those who will need to know.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:18:11 PM): Amaya nods, bowing her head. Horrifying as fighting the Lintha sounds, she can't do any better than bringing honor to her family while staying far away from them. ""That would be more than enough time, Majesty.""<br/>circlmastr (4:19:53 PM): Ofuji nodded a bit casually, debating within himself between ambitions. ""Is there anything else on your mind, my lady?""<br/>HomerinNYC (4:21:09 PM): "" Not at the moment."" She quietly sips her tea. "" Do you have any other questions?""<br/>circlmastr (4:22:23 PM): ""Nothing that cannot wait until our next meeting."" Ofuji smiled gently and set down his cup of tea in anticipation of being excused.<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:23:02 PM): Managing to sip lightly at her tea, Alissara found herself relaxing. She focused on the task the empress had set her. ""Nothing that your secretaries can't handle, Exalted One, though I'm sure I'll be bothering them for<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:23:06 PM): ships and tools.<br/>Dullone598 (4:23:17 PM): ""No, Majesty. I think I understand."" I hope I understand.<br/>HomerinNYC (4:24:12 PM): "" Very well. Follow the automaton to the door."" She quietly sips her tea again, as the automaton sets off through the door.<br/>circlmastr (4:24:53 PM): Ofuji stands gracefully and gives the Empress another polite nod, then departs with the two ladies who would apparently now be his companions.<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:25:06 PM): Surprised to find her tea cup dry, Alissara smiled, stood again, gave a respectful bow, ""An honor to serve,"" she said with sincerity, then turned to follow her newfound circle.<br/>Dullone598 (4:25:54 PM): Amaya stands, bows (trying not to cringe), and turns to follow the others.<br/>HomerinNYC (4:28:26 PM): You're quickly led out of the Manse, seemingly faster than the trip to the Scarlet Empress, and find yourself outside, with some time until your carriages are due to take you back to your homes.<br/>circlmastr (4:29:11 PM): Ofuji gives each girl another smile. ""It seems we are partners in this endeavor.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:31:10 PM): ""But...why?"" Amaya looks dazed. ""I don't know anything about pirates, or enforcing tribute.""<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:31:31 PM): Alissara gave Ofuji a sincere smile, ""You're a bold man, Ojuji,"" some instinct propmpted her to channel essence around her just so as she smiled at him, lighting her face just right, with the wind singing a subtle song.<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:31:36 PM): ""I like that.""<br/>HomerinNYC (4:32:00 PM): Circl may recall the story about the rather bullying Tsung, an unusual Water Caste, who had his arm cut off and reattached by an unassuming young student named Amaya.<br/>HomerinNYC (4:32:34 PM): It was all anyone talked about during the Finals Week in the Spiral Academy.<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:32:34 PM): Turning to Amaya with a warming smile, she reached up to touch the girl's shoulder, essence still beautifying her voice, ""Because the Empress has faith in us. Isn't that enough?""<br/>circlmastr (4:32:41 PM): Ofuji couldn't help but chuckle softly. ""My dears, I assure you that this will be no challenge. So long as we each work together and play to our strengths, this year will be a game that we cannot lose.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:33:32 PM): ""Um...the Empress is powerful -- really powerful -- but I don't think her faith is going to keep us alive.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:33:58 PM): Assuming, of course, that the Empress really intends for them to succeed. Or live. There's no guarantee of that.<br/>circlmastr (4:35:01 PM): Ofuji chuckles again and pats Amaya gently on the shoulder. ""We are going to keep each other alive, my dear. I am sure your healing talents will be well-used.""<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:36:01 PM): Chuckling and patting the other shoulder, ""Really, Amaya, if you have no faith in yourself, have faith in the empress's judgement. This is going to be a truly great adventure.""<br/>Tenshi Muse (4:36:09 PM): (I go.)<br/>circlmastr (4:36:14 PM): (bye)<br/>Dullone598 (4:36:45 PM): ""I really, really hope you're wrong, Ofuji.""<br/>circlmastr (4:37:12 PM): He chuckles once again. ""I would hate to see them poorly used, Amaya.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:37:36 PM): ""I'd prefer they didn't need to be used at all.""<br/>circlmastr (4:37:57 PM): ""So would I, but we must be prepared for the worst while we hope for the best.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:38:06 PM): She sighs. ""But then, not getting hurt at all over a year in the West is too much to hope for.""<br/>circlmastr (4:39:06 PM): Ofuji grins and gives the girl a gentle hug around the shoulders. ""Let us hope then that the worst we face is seasickness.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:40:37 PM): Gently, she pushes him away, as if to indicate that maybe someone she met half an hour ago shouldn't be hugging her. ""I'm an Aspect of Water. If I get seasick, I'm going to be the laughingstock of the West.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:40:47 PM): Which isn't to say that it won't happen, of course.<br/>circlmastr (4:41:00 PM): (It's just a hug from the side. I can't describe it well enough, ah well.)<br/>Dullone598 (4:41:49 PM): (I'm pretty sure I understand.)<br/>circlmastr (4:42:21 PM): Ofuji releases her shoulder easily enough. ""Shall we make ready, then?""<br/>Dullone598 (4:42:46 PM): ""Certainly. My family will need to hear about this.""<br/>Dullone598 (4:43:14 PM): They'll be proud, she imagines, which is heartening but not necessarily comforting.<br/>circlmastr (4:43:45 PM): ""Quite so. Until next week, then."" Ofuji nods and climbs inside his carriage, heading for home."

Lots of bad, bad ideas.<br/>circlmastr: It's a motto for underachieving losers.<br/>Tenshi Muse:<br/>HomerinNYC: Why, our chat motto!<br/>HomerinNYC: Do you have it in latin?<br/>circlmastr: I'd hate to think how long it would be.<br/>HomerinNYC: Mmmmmm.<br/>Dullone598 has entered the room.<br/>circlmastr: Huzzah<br/>HomerinNYC: Anyway.<br/>HomerinNYC: As I was asking yesterday. Do we want to start from the pub, the trip, or arriving at the island which will be your base?<br/>circlmastr: I think the votes came down on ""the island""<br/>HomerinNYC: Alright.<br/>Tenshi Muse:  The island is good.<br/>HomerinNYC: The ship finally comes into view of the island base where you'll be spending a good amount of time for the next year. It's a small volcanic island, of the style that appear often in these somewhat southern waters.<br/>HomerinNYC: The huge peak of dark rock stands over it all, creating a point of stability, and you can see the large bay that your ship will be sheltering in. You've been informed that you will be staying at a small Manse there.<br/>HomerinNYC: If, for whatever reason, you find that the very small Hearthstone there would be worth bringing along, it's open to any of you.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya leans on the railing on the ship's port side, using one hand to shield her eyes from the sun.<br/>Dullone598: (do we have any info on what the stone does?)<br/>circlmastr: (I knew I should have called dibs, heh)<br/>HomerinNYC: The manse is built into the side of the volcano, and as such, is a Fire-aspected Manse. That's about the limit of what you know.<br/>Dullone598: (Before knowing its function, that would make little sense.)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( You'd turn down a Hearthstone?)<br/>circlmastr: (Even if its function was ""Keep hair trimmed"", it still regenerates Essence)<br/>Dullone598: (Depends on the Hearthstone.  If it's the one that turns all bodily fluids into fire, DO NOT WANT.)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( ... There are Hearthstones that do that?)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  (I'll take it if no one else wants it, Essence is premium to a Dragon Armor Pilot)<br/>Dullone598: (Also only one Hearthstone regenerates Essence for you at a time.)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  (did Alissara get the tools she wanted?)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Which ones?)<br/>Dullone598: (So it probably won't help any of us with motes.)<br/>circlmastr: Ofuji stands at the rail of the ship, looking out over the port and island that will be his political prison for the next year.  ""So, this is home for now...""<br/>HomerinNYC: The captain weighs anchor in the bay, and the three of you are quickly taken to the shore via the small skiffs used for transporting crew. The island is mostly dominated by the obsidian volcano, but there's a rich, lush forest.<br/>HomerinNYC: Clearly, there are no worries about food or fresh water.<br/>Dullone598: (And yes, there's a Hearthstone that does that.  And it's one of the most horrifying things I can think of.)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  (Proper tools for Craft: Magitech.)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( No worries, the Manse will have such tools. And where is it? The only Hearthstones I know of are in the main book. >.>)<br/>Dullone598: (AB: Fire)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Ah, old book, huh?)<br/>Dullone598: (Yeah.  It's just as well, that stone has no use unless you want to kill people in disgusting ways.)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( What a waste of good Essence.)<br/>circlmastr: (Exalted is all about killing people.  If you do it in a disgusting enough way, you get stunt dice.)<br/>Dullone598: (Yes, but killing someone by means of your flaming bodily fluids is just wrong.  No matter which fluid.)<br/>circlmastr: (Now that could be a snuff film for the ages.)<br/>HomerinNYC: The guide to the island leads you through an ancient paved road, long over-grown, yet still solid, to the entrance to the Manse.<br/>Tenshi Muse: Alissara smiled as only a scholar confronted by a new locale could. She absent mindedly drafted a sailor to carry her chest of first age armor and other goodies.<br/>Tenshi Muse: In the midst of that, she had the thought, ""Captain, do we have reason to believe that the isalnd is secure?""<br/>HomerinNYC: "" It's protected by a small God who we have very favorable agreements with. There's no chance of this place being compromised."" The captain smiles.<br/>Tenshi Muse:  ""Thank you, captain, I'll entrust my luggage to your capable men, then.""<br/>HomerinNYC: The Manse is modest- as much as any Manse can be- a small, obsidian-carved palace, and although it is warm inside, the heat is channeled into the Hearthstone. Muse will instantly recognize it as a Jewel of the Hungry Fire.<br/>circlmastr: (God damn too long messages...)<br/>Dullone598: (what's that do, and what rating is it?)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  (Mm!)<br/>HomerinNYC: It protects people from fire, fairly straightforward. There are the requisite bedrooms, quarters for servants, and a small workshop, of Shogunate quality- certainly good for taking care of your armor.<br/>Dullone598: (Dibs.)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  Alissara made a respectufly polite bid for the hearthstone, then promptly forgot about it at the site of the workshop, and spent the next everal hours cooing and crowing over it as she rushed from essorter tool to tool.<br/>Tenshi Muse:  (edit: tool to essoteric tool.)<br/>circlmastr: Ofuji secures a bedroom for himself and quarters for his small entourage, who follow him bearing a variety of packages and luggage.<br/>circlmastr: ""Do we know what ought to be of foremost concern here?  Any tasks that should come before all others?""<br/>HomerinNYC: The captain coughs respectfully at this question. "" We recieved a communique from the Empress, to be delivered to you when you arrived here."" He hands a small letter to you respectfully, and leaves, along with the crew.<br/>HomerinNYC: They'll be staying on the ship, doing minor repairs and replenishing supplies, until you plan to leave.<br/>Dullone598: Amaya's own servants are not in attendance, since she couldn't think of anything useful for them to do in the West.  She happily replaces the stone in her amulet (which she pockets) with the jewel of the hungry fire.<br/>Dullone598: ""What's it say?""<br/>circlmastr: Ofuji takes the letter and opens it carefully, then reads it over at least twice before commenting.<br/>HomerinNYC: The letter, written in the elegant script of a skilled scribe, reads as such. "" Your first mission will be to help restore order, on the Thames, a floating first-age Salvage Platform currently near your location.<br/>HomerinNYC: A sunken city is being excavated, and they seemed to have earned the ire of a young Lunar. You will be required to flush out and kill the Lunar, as the Wyld Hunt in the West is currently busy with other dangers.<br/>HomerinNYC: This mission is extremely important. The first-age technology in the city is largely still intact, and this may help our still-weak dominion grow much stronger."" The Empress' personal seal adorns the bottom.<br/>circlmastr: ""Mmm, First Age tech, quite a find...""  Ofuji can't help but think about what he could do with control of wonders of this level.<br/>Tenshi Muse:  ""Oh, really?"" Alissara purrs almost sexualy as she perks up at the mention of first age technology and stops stroking an essence-lense spanner and hurries over to read the note.<br/>circlmastr: ""All we need to do is kill an Anathema.""<br/>Dullone598: Amaya stares at the other two, beginning to sweatdrop.  ""You say that as though killing a Lunar Anathema is trivial.""<br/>circlmastr: (FUCKING.... RAWR)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  Something old and electric within her was aroused by the otherwise terifying idea.  ""Well, they're not said to be as dangerous as the solar anathema, albeit far more numerous.""<br/>HomerinNYC: ( I believe Circl has to go.)<br/>Tenshi Muse:  (Doh!)<br/>circlmastr: (No.<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Oh. >.> Sounded like an expression of anger.)<br/>circlmastr: (Circl is just pissed that he keeps typing messages and keeps being met with ""Unable to send message.  The message is too large."")<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Heh.)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( I've been inspecting Open RPG.)<br/>circlmastr: ""Therein lies the humor of the remark, my dear.""  Ofuji gives a wry grin.  ""I do not think it will be as difficult as a Solar Anathema.""<br/>Dullone598: ""Right, so we'll only almost certainly die.""<br/>circlmastr: ""These Lunars are more beast than anything else.  Their baser instincts will be their downfall; all we need to do is exploit them.""<br/>Dullone598: She looks vaguely intrigued at that idea, if only because it sounds better than a head-on assault.  ""But how do you do that?  They still have minds, don't they?""<br/>circlmastr: ""True, but they are clouded by their animalism.  We only need to find out what sort of animal this Anathema is, and use the weaknesses of that animal.""<br/>circlmastr: ""Even the most powerful shark can be lured by blood into a trap.""<br/>Tenshi Muse:  ""Even the most poweful shark lacks human intelegence,"" Alissara replied, ""If my father's memories have taught me nothing else, it's that you should never underestimate the intelgence of a sentient predator.<br/>Dullone598: ""...your father's memories?""<br/>HomerinNYC: The akward moment is interrupted by a knock from the door.<br/>Tenshi Muse:  Blushing beyond what simple emberasment would call for, Alissara replied, ""Yes, ever since my exaltation I've felt his knowlege and power guiding me, I sometimes dream things he expereinced.<br/>Tenshi Muse:  Alissara jumped at the knock, then hurried to the door in relief for the distraction.<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Heh. >.> Nevermind, was worried an awkward silence was building.)<br/>circlmastr: (Too late, you're committed to someone being at the door!)<br/>Dullone598: (It's probably the Lunar.  Kill it!)<br/>circlmastr: (How could an underwater Lunar knock on the door?)<br/>HomerinNYC: ( Human... form?)<br/>Dullone598: (By getting out of the water, I assume.)<br/>Dullone598: Amaya looks utterly confused.  ""That's...bizarre.  I've never heard of such a thing.""  She looks to the door expectantly.<br/>circlmastr: (Oh, right)<br/>HomerinNYC: One of the crewman stands at the door. "" Your armor has been delivered, ma'am. It's waiting for you in the tool room."" He looks towards the others. "" The ship will be ready shortly. If I may be so bold, may I ask<br/>HomerinNYC: where we will be travelling to.""<br/>Tenshi Muse: ""Thank you, citizent,"" Alissara replied with a smile that, though that of a princess of creation,<br/>Tenshi Muse: was instinctivly filled with a subtle admiration that let the sailor know on a subconious level that his value as a man was apreciated by her.<br/>circlmastr: ""I think we ought to take a look at this salvage platform, and the Anathema that guards it.  The more we know, the better armed we will be."""

For the first time, you see the mighty Thames. A colossal platform, standing on four large pillars, and floating quickly through the water, the entire platform appears to have been forged from gold, visible even in the darkness of the early morning. The platform has a dock hanging underneath, and you can see several other ships docked at one of the legs. It looks to be close to a thousand feet tall, and as you watch, what almost resembles a warstrider leaps off the deck, diving down. Two massive salvage cranes work to lift large fragments out of the sea, pulling them onto the deck. The captain quietly stands as the ship comes in to dock with the Thames, a gangplank being extended to let you enter the large leg. "" Well, we'll be keeping watch over the ship while you look over the Thames, sirs."" The captain bows respectfully."

Their names were Ceraleghangray and Cheitunturnray, and they took to the air on mighty wings and conquered the sky, and their flames lit their way. They saw that of all things, they were the wisest and most powerfull, and they were content.<br/><br/>They were alone for a time, untill suddenly, two elfs, man and woman, rose from the sea. Their names were Aenetasa and Isayielda, and they stared out into the darkness and saw the dragons flames in the distance. They created the stars to bring light so they may see, because they were proud and did not wish to ask the dragons for the secret of fire. They declared themselves king and queen of all creation. The dragons didn't much care for such posturing, they knew where the truth of the matter lay. And frankly, the creation wasn't much fun anyway, just an infinate stretch of water, the elves were welcome to it.<br/><br/>They lived apart from eachother, untill suddenly, two dwarfs, man and woman (one would assume), rose from the sea. Their names were Khazak-Thur and Thrushack, and they didn't much care for all this wetness, made their beards a right mess. Where they strode, earth and mountains rose from the sea, and the dwarfs rejoiced, wowing to stay clear of water as much as possible from this day on. The dwarfs mined the mountains and dug up great riches in gems and metal, and used them to create the most wonderous things. They built a vast palace in the sky, hidden among the clouds, and invited the other races to live there with them as Gods. They created a sun and a moon, and thereby also created night and day. The elves wished they'd come up with that, but were far to proud to admit it. Instead they lay claim to the day, since they had thought of it first you see, and the dwarfs saw no point in arguing and let them have it. The dragons were just happy to see where they were going without blowing fire all the time, and accepted the dwarfs invitation. In the exitement no one remembered to claim the night, wich would have terrible consequences in due time.<br/><br/>They all lived together for a time, with not much to do and started to become rather bored untill suddenly, two humans, man and a woman, rose from the sea. Their names were Arthur and Elizabeth, and they looked up at the palace in the sky with much wonder, and tried to find a way up there. When that failed, they started throwing small rocks at the windows, until they got some attention. The other gods, happy to finally see some new faces, invited them in for tea, and like the most horrible of guests, the humans never left. No one minded though, because the humans brought with them curiosity, an unknown concept until that time. They all lived happily untill one day Arthur finally looked down and saw the unpopulated and wonderous world below. He pointed and yelled the fatefull words: ""I call dibs!"" The others looked at eachother and found that they also wanted to posses the land below, because they had been infected with two other human qualities: greed and ambition. They all started arguing terribly, all of them presenting several reasons why the world should belong to them and no one else. The elves claimed that since they were the patrons of Justice they should decide what was fair. The others didn't find that very fair at all.<br/><br/>They argued for what seemed forever untill suddenly, two orcs, man and woman, rose from the sea. Their names were Crundld and Zhuythaya and they looked upon the world with wideyed confusion. They stumbled around for ages, marveling at what they saw, alone in the world, untill suddenly the Gods noticed that there were trespassers in what each of them considered their world. Their first instinct was to give the newly arrivals a stern telling off, until Aenetasa got a brilliant idea. Why not let the unbiased newcommers settle their argument? They brought up the orcs into the palace, clothed them and fed them, each god trying to win their favor by kissing as much ass they were possibly capable of (wich wasn't much, with Gods being a rather arrogant and superior lot). Aenetasa then explained the situation to Crundld: ""Now listen here my good man, we were wondering if you could perhaps be so kind and settle an argument for us? There seem to be quite alot of oppinions on just who amongst us are most fit to rule, and most deserving, of the world we see below us. So what do you say, be a good sport and help us out of this pickle, won't you?"" Crundld tried to wrap his mind around the whole idea. After a long deliberation, he spoke: ""So what youze are tellin' me, is that all of you lot is bitchin' an' moanin' about who owns the world?""<br/>Aenetasa took some time to try to decipher that, and once he thought he understood what the big oaf was trying to say he replied: ""Yes, that seem to be the essence of it. So what do you say old chap, who will it be? Who shall rule the world?"" Crundld took one hard look on the world below, a world he had come to love as he had roamed through it with his wife. With a determined look in his eyes he gave his verdict: ""Me!"" He then proceeded to decapitate Aenetasa with a silver pastry dish.<br/>This suprising new turn of events of course causes some concern amongst the rest of the goods, but since the concept of violence still was in its infancy the Gods had yet to get a hang of it, and were unsure how to meet this new threat. Khazak-Thur suggested they would all sign a petition with the strongest phrasing possible, calling for an emediate end of all hostileties plus an appology, a petition they then would hand over to the orcs. But before Khazak-Thur could put his plan into action he was smothered by Zhuythaya wielding a fluffy pillow. The orcs then proceeded to kill of the rest of the gods in various amusing and inventive ways with different house hold items.<br/>But the thing about gods is that they don't usually stay dead for very long, and these ones didn't either, and by the time they returned they had gotten the hang of this new concept of violence. War raged across the heavens, and the Gods fell to the earth wrestling and grappling eachother, shattering mountains where they landed. This war raged for centuries with no one getting the upper hand.<br/><br/>They all fought without rest or delay for an eternity untill suddenly, a satyr and a nymph, man and woman, rose from the sea. Their names were Bacchus and Bambii and Bambii swooned over Bacchus and found his every move cute and sexy, and everything he said clever and funny. Bacchus was no ordinary satyr you see, no he was a bad boy, he had the leather jacket and the grease in his hair to prove it. Bambii clung to his arm like a band aid, so much in love, but not terribly bright the poor thing. Bacchus picked the lock to the palace, and when they found it empty they proceeded to fornicate in every bed in the building, wich took them the better part of a century. When they were done they started to wonder where the people that lived there had gone. What was the point of fornicating in someones bed if you couldn't tease them about it later? They decended from heaven and found the Gods still locked in their eternal struggle for dominance, and there seemed to be no way to get them to stop. At least not untill Bacchus whistled as loud as he could and yelled: ""Oi! Wankers! Check this out!"" He then lifted Bambii of the ground and mounted her for them all to see. The Gods were very confused and  intreagued by this perculiar behaviour, and stopped to watch the fascinating display of lust in front of them. After the lovers were done, they were showered with questions. What was it they were doing? What was it good for? Was it as gross and icky as it looked? Being the generous man that he was, Bacchus promised to teach them all about it, and then he mounted all the Godesses in front of their husbands. Afterwards the Gods shook his hand and gave him heartfelt thanks for ""banging their bitches"" as Bacchus had put it. They then had the worlds first Bacchanal that lasted for several centuries. And that is how Bacchanalia got it's name.</em>"

After they were all spent, they rolled of eachother and lay panting in the grass, promising eachother an end to the futile war. And that is why, to this day, any major agreement between former enemies is sealed by a good old fashioned orgy.<br/>All the Gods agreed that fornicating was much more fun than fighting (except for the orcs, who couldn't decide wich they liked best, and quietly wondered if there were a way to combine the both). They all congratulated Bacchus and Bambii for their amazing discovery and invited them up to the Palace as Gods. They all agreed to leave the world alone for the time being. But while the Gods enjoyed their newfound peace, things started to happen in the world below. Where the juices from their love making had fallen, things started to grow. Soon minature versions of the Gods roamed Bacchanalia, and it didn't take long for them to discover this. The orcs suggested they would wipe them all out instantly, but the others voted against this, their curiosity awakened. Over the next months their new children brought them much joy, and even the orcs showed parental pride over the minature orcs achivements (wich usually consisted of hitting someone over the head with an object of some sort). But their joy were shortlived. Soon their children reverted to their original state: mud. Distraught, the gods started spilling their juices over the world with an obsession quite unlike anything previous seen. But the result was always the same, their creations turned into mud after awhile. Severly depressed, they finally gave up.<br/>They all wept for ages untill suddenly, two halflings, man and woman, rose from the sea. Their names were Gunbumble and Fizzywink and they both longed for a big family. When they found their way into the Palace they were greeted with much sorrow. When they were told why the Gods wept, they shared their grief, for the halflings also longed for offspring. They gave the matter some serious thought, and finally they thought they had the answer.<br/>""Life must grow withing life, you see!"" they shouted with glee. ""All we have to do is let our children grow within us and they can live forever! They won't be made of mud then, you see, they will be made of flesh!"" The other Gods remained sceptical. ""Is it safe?"" asked Arthur. ""Oh yes, nothing to worry about, a few minor side effects, but as we said, nothing to worry about."" The Gods still wanted to know about the side effects, still not sure, and what they discovered didn't please them. But they did want offspring...<br/>A secret meeting was held during the night, were the men discussed their fears and missgivings about the plan. ""Carrying life inside you, that's all good and well, but I just don't see why we should have to do it? I mean, I have to shave every other week or so and it's a bloody nuisance!"" protested Aenetasa. ""Isayielda doesn't have to deal with any of that!""<br/>""True, true,"" replied Arthur,""and I just don't see why we have to do all the work when we fornicate? For the better part of it Elizabeth just lies there, while I on the other hand work up a real sweat!""<br/>""Yeah, it doesn't really seem like they put their backs into it,"" complained Khazak-Thur, ""I have to do all the heavy lifting! Except for the times she get on top, that's quite agreeable. And the thing she did with her mouth the other night, that was clever. And the time she...""<br/>""I feel your pain, brothers!"" interupted Bacchus. ""I just happened to casually mention how hot it would be to bring Bambii's sisters into the action, and she denied me access to her naughty places for weeks! I mean, I stick it to her as often as satyricly possible, but do I get a ""thank you""? No, I get a ""roll off, I'm sleeping!"" How much longer will we have to suffer under this tyrany, brothers, how long!?"" It was agreed then and there that it would be the women that carried the offspring. Aenetasa and Khazak-Thur stayed up all night, working in the smithy, and so great were their skill these days that they could mold and shape flesh. Aenetasa had to donate a pound of his flesh (since all the others agreed he was the most girly of the lot) so they would have something to work with. Come day break they had produced a new means of creating offspring, an O-Vary and a W-Omb. But because they hadn't had the delicate touch of their wives during the creation, the result was flawed.<br/>The men gave the women an ultimatum: agree to their ruling or suffer another war. The women didn't like the ultimatum one bit, especially Cheitunturnray. ""You gonna put what up my what!? Bugger off!"" Enraged over the betrayal, she flew off, never to be seen again.<br/>The rest of the women reluctantly agreed, they wanted to avoid another pointless war. Besides, babies...could be fun, right? They each recieved a new set of the organs made by Aenetasa and Khazak-Thur.<br/>Soon the world was populated with the Gods offspring, and peace reigned...or did it?</em>"

The Godesses had less and less to say in matters, and with the dissapearance of Cheitunturnray the women now had one less vote in the Council of the Gods, leaving the men in majority. Ceraleghangray were mighty displeased by the way their plan had backfired, he had lost his mate and was now the last dragon. He started isolating himself more and more, but still gave the male side his vote, on a general principle. Gunbumble wasn't pleased either, he had been preasured to side against his wife and the rest of the females, but he dared not go against the Gods now that they were firmly in power. The women had less and less power, until the men removed their rights to vote all together. They were still alloved to sit in on Council meetings, but were not allowed to speak.<br/>Down on Bacchanalia things could have been better aswell. The females were viewed as the weaker sex, and since the men had the full support of their Gods, they were in complete control. To make matters worse, Khazak-Thur's design was flawed, making the women suffer needlessly during childbirth. They also bled from their sex once a month, a testament to Khazak-Thur's error and the betrayal that resulted in the women's lot in life.<br/>The women all suffered under the male rule for ages, their blood spilling on the ground each month untill suddenly, two vampires, man and woman, rose from the sea. Their names were Count Skelos von Drakenhoff and Baroness Ilsbethory van Doom and they both dressed in black, liked capes, had a fetish for tophats, never smiled and spoke with a strange accent. The blood on the ground and the womens despair had called to them and Death followed in their wake. They called to the Gods: ""Open the gateth and let uth in! The blood hath awoken uth from our thlumber and we demand thatithfaction!"" to wich the Gods answer was: ""Say what now?""<br/>The Gods held council and decided that they did not want to let those two wierd creatures into Heaven. They called back: ""Terribly sorry, but we are filled to capacity up here. There are 13 on the Council of Gods, and as you know, 13 being a sacred number and all, we can't possibly let anyone in, our hands are tied."" The vampires faces turned red in anger (as red as their pale faces could be, anyway) and they replied: ""Fine! We don't want to live in no thiny palathe anyway! We hate the thun! We will go live underground and claim the Kingdom of Death ath our own!"" And so they did.<br/>The vampires moved into the Kingdom of Death, just as they had promissed, and the people, who had up until now been immortal, started dying of disease, violence and old age (although most often not at the same time).<br/>The people lived and died and the Gods held court in heaven untill suddenly, two drow, one man and one woman, rose from the sea. Their names were N'tinroth and Ach'ild'aen and they proudly marched up to the gates of heaven and demanded entrance. This put the Gods in a bind. If they let the Drow in they would have to let the vampires in, wich noone were very keen on, since they seemed to be the kind of people that moped about, read depressing poetry and complained about how dreadfull life was. Even though Bacchus was very keen on some ""Drow ass"" (and vampire ass for that matter) the Gods denied the Drow entrance in the interest of keeping the vampires away. The Drow took this very badly, and swore vengance. They moved underground and started plotting. Or rather, N'tinroth plotted and Ach'ild'aen helped in anyway she could. Their relationship was not an equal one and N'tinroth could be very cruel to his wife. Together they invented magic, to level the playing field, but nothing they came up with seemed to be enough to gain them entry into heaven. Finally, N'tinroth came up with the solution. He claimed the night as his realm and demanded entry to heaven so he could watch over his domain like a proper God. The Gods didn't like that one bit, but it seemed like they would have no choice but to let the Drow in. A compromise was made. They would gain entry and become proper Gods. Furthermore, Ach'ild'aen would be altered so she could bear N'tinroth's offspring. But neither of them would get a vote in the Council, but they were alowed to sit in on the meetings.<br/>N'tinroth started plotting his revenge as soon as he was made God. He kept his wife pregnant, so his servant race would grow strong and numerous. The Drow moved underground to honor their God, as he had lived underground for the first part of his existance. N'tinroth spread lies and mistrust among the Gods, and whispered poison in their ears. He convinced the men that the women was plotting their destruction, and they would  be wise to strike first. During these turbulent times, as N'tinroth spread his lies, the Gods attention was focused elsewhere than Bacchanalia, and the people suffered for it. Wars and famine and pestilence swept the nations, and the Halls of the Dead were filled with new souls at an alarming rate.<br/>Finally the Gods, paranoid beyond reason, launched an attack on their wives, planning to put them in shackles forever. Once more war raged across the Heavens, but this time it looked like the war would have a winner. The women had been stripped of more and more of their power during the men's reign, and even though they fought valiantly they seemed to be doomed. But then N'tinroth struck. With the Gods attention elsewhere, he trapped them and stripped them of their power, to late did they learn of his treachery. But just as he was about to proclaim himself Supreme God of all Existance, Ach'ild'aen slipped a poisoned dagger into his back. That broke his spell and the Gods were free once more. Once N'tinroth had been put in chains, it seemed like the struggle would continue. At the last minute it was agreed that the women would get their votes back and they could once again sit as full members of the Council. But the first motion the women put before the Council was a motion that would put the women in charge with the men stripped of their votes and their power. The men laughed at this, they knew they still had the majority with Cheitunturnray missing. To their suprise, Ceraleghangray cast his vote in favor of the motion and it passed. Forced to obey the Council's ruling, the Gods were stripped of vote and rank. And so it was that the Godesses came to rule both Heaven and Bacchanalia.</em>"

But their wives looked at them and took pity. ""Our beloved husbands, we still hold you dear, but you are fools. Worse yet, your foolishness have made you obsolete, even irelevant. Their is no place for you in Heaven anymore. But fear not, even after all you did we can not bring ourselves to harm you. You will be banished from Heaven, but you will live. And know this, no matter what, you are still our husbands, and we love you dearly. Now go."" And the men left, stripped of most of their Godly powers, where they went no one knows. All who remained were Ceraleghangray and N'tinroth. N'tinroth was cast in the darkest of all of Heavens dungeons, because even though he helped free them, that had not been his intention. He had been close to becomming a far worse ruler than their husbands ever was.<br/>Ceraleghangray was stripped of his vote, it was instead given to Ach'ild'aen, but he kept his powers. Furthermore, from that day forward he would be able to mate with the children of the other Gods and they would carry his offspring, he would finally be able to create a race of his own. That had been his price for siding with the women.<br/>The Godesses set out to right all wrongs their husbands had caused. They corrected the flaw in Khazak-Thur's design and perfected it, improving the life of women everywhere. The pain of childbirth was now much less severe, and fewer women died while giving child. Furthermore, they no longer bled every month, their blood no longer spilling on the ground as it once did.<br/>Since that was what first had awakened the rulers of Death, the Godesses sent Isayielda to inform them of the change. Ilsbethory just shrugged. She had never been subjected to Khazak-Thur's faulty work, and she cared little for the wellbeing of the mortals. Count Skelos replied: ""Tho what? I never liked the tathe of that blood anyway. I prefer to thneak up from behind and thuck from their neck. Bethideth, giveth you a great chanthe to play with their boobth.""<br/>The fact that the Godesses now ruled Heaven also improved the lives of the women on Bacchanalia, and in many places they took over the control of their towns and villages. But since most of them believed in the catch flies with honey approach, their men didn't suffer much under their rule.<br/>And so it was that the women, the most sacred of beings on Bacchanalia, took their rightfull place in the order of things.</em>"

I never said all my dagger matched likely she bought them off a rack at a weapons vendor they are not special.  ;)<br/><br/>By the way she could have punched him but that is still lethal damage with gauntlets on automatic with her type pf armor and that would still be 1d3+5 damage a hit. And give him an attack of opportunity.<br/><br/>By the way would YOU attack a heavily armed and armored half-orc with a sap they are not too bright even Krella sees an armed foe that can match her and respects that.

My character for example would not commit genocide against civilians but if ordered to raze a town with torch and oil would. Or another case if ordered to attack a city and leave no armed opponent alive she would follow that order. An order not unusual in older times such as the Muslims attacking Jerusalem they were ordered originally not to give quarter to the defenders and show no mercy at least in Kingdom of Heaven. A very LN order that she would accept. Now killing unarmed and the old or young that is different.<br/><br/>Another big example lets say some armored knight on a huge charger was attacking her and had to follow the rules of fair combat. Krella a fighter under orders has no problem attacking the lighter armored and more vulnerable horse first taking away all his mounted combat advantages. Then break the knight as he is on his back scrambling to arm himself or herself. Or better yes use her bow from hard cover so he has to go uphill or navigate to get to her all the time firing arrows at the mount! In other words she would fight practically the battle field is no place for honor unless her orders are otherwise or if in a good fight she respected a foe and showed mercy out of respect. Likely pretty rare her instincts would be to kill such a threat even if her dropped his weapon and yielded to her in most cases.

If some scum commiting a crime upon them MIGHT HAVE slit their throats afterwards in knocked out that is enough of a chance for her to use lethal force. Period.

But doing a 6'5"" massive half-orc might be a problem for a man she is stout. lol<br/><br/>As for her combat skills I think shhe will go for the brute use of force approach Power Blow and related skills. She doesn't mind the bow or a thrown weapon but face it she is most lethal up close and personal. Reminds me I have yet to do a description and the like I'm going to make her of Oorg blood a particularly large and brutish orc subspecies I think. On the good side she may be ugly but at least she washes herself and has a few manners.  ;)"

Man hasn't left Earth, but rather expanded into the skies with higher and higher buildings. People live in skyscrapers and pollution forms in rings of smog that stripe the atmosphere like the layers of an onion. Major technological strides have taken place, but most notable of all of these strides is the creation of artificial intelligence and the robot, which then progressed into the android. Our story takes place at the center of this technological revolution: New York City, New York, United States of America. <br/><br/><em>The Plot</em><br/>Even in a futuristic world, nothing has changed. Poverty runs rampant, people are dying on the streets, which are covered in total darkness. Money makes the world go round, and people are reliant on technology to run their lives. The problem is that in the ever-evolving quest to improve technology, the line between man and machine became just that side of unclear. It scares man to think that we might have created life in an inanimate object. Even worse is the threat that AI could be if it began to disagree... and of course, whatever can go wrong, invariably will. Man has set out to destroy AI. AI fights for its life. And of course there are rebel factions who believe that the government is overlooking the possibility of humanity in the machine. While the law to destroy all AI hasn't been passed officially yet, it's definitely in the works, and commonly accepted that if you disagree, you're a rebel. You're either with the bots, or against them. And either way, it's a bloody battle. <br/><br/><em>The Twist</em><br/>In this futuristic world, there's a bit of fantasy. The undead and fantastical exist, and have come to be accepted as commonplace. They're scientifically accepted and even printed up into appended text books. There's a scientific classification for the lagoon monsters, a genus and species name for the common house sprite. This is not only a world of the future, but a world where mythology and reality collide. <br/><br/><em>The Rules</em><br/><strong>oo1</strong> Hi, I'm LD50. I'm the self-proclaimed moderator of this thread, seeing as I created it. That means what I say, goes. <br/><strong>oo2</strong> No godmod(d)ing, powerplaying, autohitting, etc. If someone dies, it better be because the two or more players discussed it OOC via PMs first. <br/><strong>oo3</strong> Be. Literate. I can understand typos and occasional grammatical errors, but so help me, if I see one emoticon or 'plz thx omg lol' in my forum, I will hunt you down and kill you. Also, if you PM or IM me and use chatspeak, I might eat you alive. And I chew. Just a friendly warning.<br/><strong>oo4</strong> If you're Elvi (or Elvi on another username), you can't play. Got a problem with that? It's the internet, get over it. <br/><strong>oo5</strong> PM me your character profile, filled out exactly as I ask for it in the profile skeleton below. Do not begin posting until I've replied to your message and approved your character. I might ask you to clarify or alter a few things. Title your PM to me ""Real eyes realize real lies"" so I know you've read and agree to my rules. <br/><strong>oo6</strong> If you plan to post your certain character in a certain color, the profile you PM me had better be that color, because I won't allow multiple players/characters posting in the same color. Too confusing.<br/><strong>oo7</strong> You can play almost any race you want. I prefer no half breeds and reserve the right to deny your character on the basis that he/she/it is too cliche.<br/><strong>oo8</strong> I reserve the right to add further rules as I see fit. <br/><br/><em>The Character Profile Skeleton</em><br/><strong>Puppeteer:</strong> Your username.<br/><strong>Name:</strong> Straightforward, I should think.<br/><strong>Alias:</strong> From high-school nicknames to military codenames, those go here.<br/><strong>Age:</strong> As old or young as you choose. I want you to play it, though.<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Species and ethnicity both go here. <br/><strong>Occupation:</strong> What do they do as a job?<br/><strong>Gender:</strong> Male, Female, Both, Neither, etc.?<br/><strong>Sexual Preference:</strong> Homo, Hetero, Bi, Trans, Pan, etc.?<br/><strong>Position:</strong> Are you someones master or leader, second, follower, what?<br/><strong>Height:</strong> Obvious.<br/><strong>Weight:</strong> Obvious.<br/><strong>Blood Type:</strong> A, B, AB, O, +/-<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong> Be realistic. If your character has red or purple eyes, it's because they're albino or have really good contacts. And no, vampires do not have red eyes. If you are lycanthrope, your animal form may have a different eye color than your human form. If this is so, indicate such information here. <br/><strong>Hair:</strong> If your hair is any unnatural color, it is because it was dyed that way, or has reverted that way after centuries without sun. <br/><em>Please Note! If you are a demon, a gargoyle, or a fey of some sort, you may have unnaturally colored hair or eyes. If this is so, be specific.</em><br/><strong>Distinguishing Marks/Body Modifications:</strong> Even minute things. If your character has a birth-mark on their left ear, I want it to say so here. This includes tattoos and piercings. <br/><strong>Clothing:</strong> Be serious. If your character is law enforcement or military, flak jackets and minimal SWAT armor is acceptable. I do NOT want any stay-at-home moms with riot armor running around. And think for a second, if you were a vampire, would you really wear a cape?<br/><strong>Demeanor:</strong> General personality. This can be fairly vague, although if your character has any personality tics, as well as like or dislikes, list them here.<br/><strong>Weapon:</strong> Any special abilities or signature artillery should be listed here. If your character has a lucky gun, I want to know all about it. If you are a vampire with enough years under your belt, here is where you tell me about your special power and/or animal to call. If you're a human with extra special abilities (ie: necromancer, empath, psychic, etc.), tell me here. <br/><strong>Religion (If applicable):</strong> This one's obvious for most. This is applicable to you if you are a demon, contrary to popular belief. It's chill to be a generic demon or whatever, but if you looked your character up from some obscure book of death or gnostic underworld mythology, tells us about it. We might appreciate your genius. <br/><strong>Reason for Survival Thus Far:</strong> Be creative, but honest. If your character isn't old or powerful enough to strike out on his or her own just yet, say so. It doesn't have to stay that way forever, but not everyone can be a leader. No disgrace in being cannon fodder, I always say. <br/><strong>Character Image:</strong> Insert a picture of your character here. <br/><br/><br/>The outline codes are included below for cut and paste idiot-proof-acy: </span><br/><br/><div class=""codeheader"">Code: <a class=""codeoperation"" href=""javascript:void(0);"" onclick=""return smfSelectText(this);"">[Select]</a></div><pre style=""margin: 0; padding: 0;""><code class=""bbc_code"">[b]Puppeteer:[/b] <br/>[b]Name:[/b] <br/>[b]Alias:[/b] <br/>[b]Age:[/b] <br/>[b]Race:[/b] <br/>[b]Gender:[/b] <br/>[b]Sexual Preference:[/b] <br/>[b]Occupation:[/b] <br/>[b]Position:[/b] <br/>[b]Height:[/b] <br/>[b]Weight:[/b] <br/>[b]Blood Type:[/b] <br/>[b]Eyes:[/b] <br/>[b]Hair:[/b] <br/>[b]Distinguishing Marks/Body Modifications:[/b] <br/>[b]Clothing:[/b] <br/>[b]Demeanor:[/b] <br/>[b]Weapon:[/b] <br/>[b]Religion (If applicable):[/b] <br/>[b]Reason for Survival Thus Far:[/b] <br/>[b]Character Image:[/b] <br/>[img]PICTURE URL GOES HERE[/img]</code></pre><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Please be as creative and specific as possible.

Robots have <em>NOT</em> turned against humans. They are still subservient and obedient. However, humans are beginning to realize the dangers <em>if that were the case</em>. So a lot of people are rebelling against technological advancement and destroying their robots or returning them, or blowing them up (ie: Sybil). <br/><br/>If you play an android, you're hoping the government doesn't pass a bill to eradicate you. <br/>But, since this bill has not been passed, both the military and the government have refrained from any sort of action at this time. That is not to say that it might not be in the future...<br/><br/>If you're playing a human, you either own and like androids, or you don't and despise them. Very few people are neutral on the subject. Like I said, you're either with them or against them. Though, the majority of people have turned against them.

He has rules, and the vampires follow those rules or they are kicked out. Or killed. The machine possibility has added another issue on his already full plate.

As well, characters will not be allowed if they have no backstory, mainly the reason for them running in the first place.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">For those without the book, I will list what and how to do it.</span><br/><br/><strong>Note: Fixed Typo in Skill Distribution </strong><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>First</strong></span>things first, I will list Metatypes with their starting attributes and a brief summery over attributes.<br/><br/>Everything other then human costs Build Points or BP to play as, so, you'll have a slight disadvantage to go with your advantages that your race naturally inherits. As well, the first number is the starting rating and the number after the slash are the maximum rating. The number in the parentheses is the maximum augmented attribute (from cyber/bioware and magic spells).<br/><br/><strong>Human Attribute Ratings</strong><br/><br/>1) Weak<br/>2) Underdeveloped<br/>3) Typical<br/>4) Improved<br/>5) Superior<br/>6) Maximum Unmodified human<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Physical Attributes</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Agility</strong>: Agility represents fine motor control - manual dexterity. It's used primarily with firearms and athletics as well as basic coordination.<br/><br/><strong>Body</strong>: Body represents the ability to resist outside forces from toxins, pathogens to that of alcohol. Body is determined by living habits (eating, sleeping, activity) not by size.<br/><br/><strong>Reaction</strong>: Reaction is basically physical reflexes to a change in your surroundings, whether from dodging that fist or that incoming arrow.<br/><br/><strong>Strength</strong>: Strength is basically what your muscles can do. From raw running and lifting speeds to your basic damage in unarmed and melee combat. High Strength doesn't always represent how large a character is, they can be tough and wiry or know how to use their body to her best advantage. But, if you wish, it can also be used to denote how large you character is in muscle mass.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Mental Attributes</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Charisma</strong>: Much more then physical appearance, it is a reflection on how to wheel & deal, get along in everyday life and your ""aura"" of how you react to various social tact. You could be the most fairest of the Elves, but with a low Charisma, a Charismatic Troll has a better chance of at least getting their foot in the door.<br/><br/><strong>Intuition</strong>: Intuition covers ""mental awareness"" your ability to take and process information on the go, to read a crowd and to assess a situation for danger or opportunity.<br/><br/><strong>Logic</strong>: Logic covers the character's ability to memorize ability and raw brain power. Their overall intelligence of the situation. It denotes how fast a character learns, how well they can execute pre-planned sequences and various other mental tasks.<br/><br/><strong>Willpower</strong>: Willpower is basically self explanatory. It covers your will to survive, your breaking point and giving up as well as the fuel to motivate you towards your dreams and desires.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Special Attributes</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Edge</strong>is a special attribute that is basically used to give an edge over opposistion, they work very much like stunt dice and action points that are in various other games. Only humans may have an Edge of 7 while the other metatypes are limited to only 6.<br/><br/><strong>Magic &amp; Resonance</strong>are restricted attributes and start out at 0. They're only usuable by Magic users and Technomancers (The former Attribute for Magicians, Adepts and Mystic Adepts, the latter for Technomancers). In order to get Magic or Resonance, you much purchase one of the listed Positive Qualities to obtain such.<br/><br/><strong>Initiative</strong>is a derived attribute, calculated by adding your character's Reaction and Intuition together. Initiative cannot be increased with BP but may be augmented by certain spells, cyber/bioware.<br/><br/><strong>Essence</strong>is an attributes of your very being. All characters have a starting Essence of 6 and with each cyber/bio inplant you install decreases the overall rating of Essence. Once you gain an Essence of 0, you die. Plain and simple.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Metatype Listings</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Human</strong>: BP: 0, BOD: 1/6 (9), AGI: 1/6 (9), REA: 1/6 (9), STR: 1/6 (9), CHA: 1/6 (9), INT: 1/6 (9), LOG: 1/6 (9), WIL: 1/6 (9), INI: 2/12 (18) [Special: +1 Edge]<br/><br/><strong>Ork</strong>: BP:20, BOD: 4/9 (13), AGI: 1/6 (9), REA: 1/6 (9), STR: 3/8 (12), CHA: 1/5 (7), INT: 1/6 (9), LOG: 1/5 (7), WIL: 1/6 (9),<br/>INI: 2/12 (18) [Special: Low-Light Vision]<br/><br/><strong>Dwarf</strong>: BP:25, BOD: 4/9 (13), AGI: 1/6 (9), REA: 1/6 (9), STR: 3/8 (12), CHA: 1/6 (9), INT: 1/6 (9), LOG: 1/6 (9), WIL: 2/7 (10), INI: 2/11 (16) [Special: Thermographic Vision, +2 dice for Body Tests to resist pathogens and toxins)<br/><br/><strong>Elf</strong>: BP: 30, BOD: 1/6 (9), AGI: 2/7 (10), REA: 1/6 (9), 1/6 (9), STR: 1/6 (9), CHA: 3/8 (12), INT: 1/6 (9), LOG: 1/6 (9), WIL: 2/12 (18) [Special: Low-Light Vision]<br/><br/><strong>Troll</strong>: BP: 40, BOD: 5/10 (15), AGI: 1/5 (7), REA: 1/6 (9), STR: 5/10 (15), CHA: 1/4 (6), INT: 1/5 (7), LOG: 1/5 (7), WIL: 1/6 (9), INI: 2/11 (16) [Special: Thermographic Vision, +1 Reach, +1 nautral armor (cumulative with worn armor)].<br/><br/>Okay, now on to actual creating the character. First we will cover the BP system. All characters are created with the same 400 BP system, so no characters are given different creation points.<br/><br/>First thing, we start with Metatype. Each metatype as previously listed costs BP to play as, thus you will subtract the cost of said metatype from your starting 400. When assigning Physical & Mental attributes, you're allowed only to spend half of your max BP used in character creation (I.E. 200 BP at all times). As well, it is<strong>important</strong>,<em><strong>but no character may have more then one attribute at maximum at creation.</strong></em>Now on to skills.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Types of Skills</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Active Skills</strong>: Active Skills are those that tie in directly to an active Attribute and effect things on a more direct scale. (Example: Athletics and Negotiation are Active Skills, where UCAS Political Knowledge is not.)<br/><br/><strong>Knowledge Skills</strong>: Knowledge Skills represents what your character knows and helps flesh out their background and add personal touches to roleplay.<br/><br/><strong>Language Skills</strong>: Language Skills are the languages you know and how well you can comprehend them. Nothing more, nothing less.<br/><br/><strong>Restricted Skills</strong>: Skills that pertain to Magic Usage and Magic Knowledge such as ""Assessing"" are only allowed for those with the proper Possitive Quality that unlocks a Restricted Attribute.<br/><br/><strong>Skill Groups</strong>: Skill Groups are bunched up Skills for a more broader sense of knowledge. Hence your inability to actually take a specialization in a Skill Group.<br/><br/><strong>Specializations</strong>: Not a type of Skill par/se. But a single specialization in a skill that isn't within a skill group. It can also be applied to Knowledge and Language skills.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Distribution of BP for Skills and their Special Rules</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Special Rules</strong>: With Individual Skills you may only possess one at 6 and the rest as high as 4 or two at 5 and the rest at 4. You cannot take one six and two fives for example.  For Skill Groups, the max starting is 4 in rating. You may only possess one specialty per individual skill.<br/><br/><strong>Skill Costs and Distribution</strong>It's 4 BP per Active Skill, 10 BP per Group Skill, 2 BP per Additional Knowledge Skill, 2 BP per  Additional Language Skills. You start with [Logic + Intuitition] x 3 of free Knowledge Skill points [1 for 1 point distribution] and your max of Knowledge Skill points you may purchase is also equal to [Logic + Intuitition] x 3. In other words, you can only double up.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Qualities</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Positive Qualities</strong>: Positive Qualities are an edge over other people, an example of one would be ""Adept"". You may only spend up to 35 BP on Possitive Qualities.<br/><br/>Negative Qualities: They are basically flaws and exceptional quirks within your character. Bad Luck is an example of one. You may not earn more then 35 BP on Negative Qualities.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Assigning Resources</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Gear</strong>: For every BP invested in Gear, you get 5,000 Nuyen which can be allocated to purchase weapons, armor, cyberware/bioware, magical foci for magic users, magical items, vehicles and plenty of other goodies. All gear although is subject to the Game Mistress, so, be kind with your proposals. Gear as well follow the standard ""No higher then 6 in Rating and no higher then 12 in Availability"". Yes, you may have a 12F item, but, still, as it goes with legality, Forbidden Items can get you in loads of trouble. So buyer beware. You may purchase up to 50 BP in Gear or ""250,000 Nuyen"".<br/><br/><strong>Cyberware and Bioware</strong>: In addition to nuyen cost, Cyberweare and Bioware have an Essence Cost, The Essence Cost is the amount by which the character's Essence is reduce. Characters cannot however have any Essence bellow 0.1 or in other words, an Essence of negative or 0. Cyberware and Bioware enhancements for certain things [like a grappling gun enhancement for your cyber-arm] come with a capacity cost. Each limb or specific item has a capacity limit which what can be put in it until you're at the maximum. Each special addition comes with a capacity number [how much capacity it takes up] and some even come with an additional Essence Cost. Cyberware and Bioware come in four grades, but only Basic and Alpha are available at Creation. The Higher the Grade, the higher the cost of the item, but the lower the Essence Cost. When purchasing both Cyberware and Bioware, the highest costing one is kept while the lower costing one is halved in Essence. [For example: Someone with a full basic cybernetic arm with Grenade Launcher cybergun and Rating 3 Tailored Pheremones [bioware] would cost you 2.9 Essence instead of 3.1 Essence. The Bioware costed less and thus was halved in it's Essence Cost.<br/><br/><strong>Lifestyle</strong>: Lifestyle determines two things. Your basic living conditions and the starting nuyen you get at creation. You can only have one lifestyle at a time, but you may purchase months in advance of it. Each Lifestyle higher then Street has a monthy cost and you add each charge for each month you wish to have a place.<br/><br/><strong>The Nuyen Shuffle</strong>: Once you get to Resources, your character should be pretty well thought out. The trouble comes when you try to purchase everything want or need and find out that you can't. If this happens, you might need to backtrack and make a few adjustments. Remember that a character isn't finished unless you are happy with it. If you decide that you spent too much on cyberware or lifestyle, erase [or delete] it and start over. If you decide you were too conservative with some choices, feel free to go back and add new angles to the character. If you just don't have enough nuyen to do what you want and need to change your choices, the end of character creation process is your last chance to do so. You control the character you create; feel free to mix and match and revise as you go along. Nothing is finished until the Game Mistress gives you a thumbs-up on the character sheet and the game begins. Don't worry - Money and Karma will flow your way once play begins, so you'll be able to improve your character and gear in countless ways.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Magical Resources</strong></span><br/><br/>Note: Magical Resources are only obtainable to those that are Awakened, those without a Possitive Quality which unlocks either Magic or Resonance Attribute, please skip this section.<br/><br/><strong>Spells</strong>: Magicians and Mystic Adepts can only cast spells they have learned. Characters can spend BP to learn spells before play. Each Spell costs a flat 3 BP per spell. The maximum number of spells your character can learn is equal to twice your maximum Spellcasting or Ritual Spellcasting skills.<br/><br/><strong>Spirits</strong>: Magicians and Mystic Adepts have the capability to summon five types of Spirits based on their type of particular tradition [Hermetic: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, ""Man"". Shamans: Beasts, Water, Earth, Air, Man]. They may be summoned temporarly during gameplay [Conjuring] or even bound into longer-term service [Binding], Bound spirits cost a number of BP equal to the number of services owned. The number of services it owes may not be greater then the Magician/Mystic Adept's Summoning skill [or Conjuring skill group if applicable] The bound spirit's Force is equal to the Magician/Mystic Adept's Magic Attribute. The maximum number of spirits they may have is equal to their Charisma score.<br/><br/><strong>Foci</strong>: Awakened Characters each start with 1 Foci which they are bound to. When purchasing Gear, they may purchase additional Magical Foci. Magical Foci aids the Awakened individual with magical applications. To bond a focus [after purchasing one] the player must spend a number of BP equal to the focus' Force rating. The total Force of all bonded foci is limited to five times the character's Magic attribute. Adepts may only bond with weapon foci, Magicians and mystic adepts can bond to any type of focus.<br/><br/><strong>Adept Powers</strong>: Adepts have Power Points equal to their Magic rating which they can purchase Adept Powers. Players may ""save up"" on Power points and use them later for future purchases.<br/>Note: Mystic Adepts only get Power Points on how much they invest in their Adept abilities. [I.E. An Mystic Adept with Magic 6 can have 3 Magic allocated for casting spells and 3 magic converted into Power Points.]<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Technomancer Resources</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Complex Forms</strong>: Technomancers may only affect the electronic world with complex forms they have learned. These forms can be bought during character creation at a cost of 1 BP per rating point. A Rating 4 Amor complex form, for example would cost 4 BP. The maximum number of complex forms your character can learn during character creation, reguardless of rating, is equal to your character's Logic x 2.<br/><br/><strong>Sprites</strong>: Technomancers have the ability to compile and register entities called sprites in the Matrix during gameplay. A technomancer can also choose to begin gameplay with registered sprites. Registered sprites cost a number of BP equal to the number of tasks owed. The number of tasks it owes may not be greater then the technomancer's Compiling skill. The register sprite's rating equals to the Technomancer's Resonance. The maximum number of sprites a technomancer may have registered into service is equal to his Charisma attribute.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Contacts</strong></span><br/><br/>Contacts have each a Rating in both Loyalty and Connection which go to 1-6. The cost in BP is determined by the added rating of both Connection and Loyalty. The higher Loyalty and Connection, the more ""strong"" and important a Contact is.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Finishing Touches</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Condition Moniters</strong>: The players need to dictate and take track of their condition moniters. 8 + (Willpower divided by 2, round up) for Stun and 8 + [Body divided by 2, round up] for Physical. Use the characters augmented ratings rather then natural ratings. For each of the cyberlimbs that a character may possess, another box is added to the Condition Moniters.<br/><br/><strong>Starting Nuyen</strong>: Starting Nuyen is determined by your lifestyle. If you have any Nuyen left over, 100 nuyen becomes an extra dice for your starting roll which may be added up to half your max dice rolled for starting Nuyen. Starting Nuyen may be in many forms from Certified Cred sticks to even big piles of cash, but never can be in any form or Gear, Contacts, Magical Gear and such. Characters can purchase things immediately once entering the game with their starting Nuyen."

That is, however, pretty far from the truth. Cain did grow up in Seattle, but not in the Redmond slums, he actually grew up in one of the gated communities of Bellevue, where Seattle's elite lives. His parents rich beyond measure, Cain lacked nothing during his first years. That all changed the summer after Cain graduated from highschool. Against all odds he goblinized, despite goblinization being much rarer these days and despite him being much older than when goblinization usually sets in. To add insult to injury, they boy also proved to be Awakened. This was a disaster for his family, they had after all been one of Brackhaven's major backers during his bid for presidency. Quickly it was decided that Cain would be sent to Europe, to avoid a scandal. His parents bought him a small but extravagant apartment in Prague, and payed his tuition to the Univeristy of Prague. They adamantly refused to finance any magical studies though, so Cain started studying art history without much enthusiasm. His parents made it clear to him that he was not to return to Seattle.<br/>Cain didn't pay much attention to his school work, instead he left quite a mark on Prague's hip and trendy club scene, hanging out with rich and terminally bored young elite that attended the university. His Awakaned status made him something of a minor celebrity, and he had no problem picking up companions, both male and female, something that was sure to aggrevate his family even more.<br/>During that time the rumor of a new spell, that supposidly could induce continuos orgasms in a whole room of people circulated around the university. The spell was not on any of the University's Approved Spell lists, but the mage students was convinced it existed, it quickly became the Holy Grail of the Magic Program. Cain, on a drunken dare, woved to obtain it, despite him not being a magic student. Convinced that the university's most famous professor, the dragon Schwartzkopf, would  have a copy of the spell, Cain set out to break into his office to try to find it. To drunk and stoned to realize just how stupid of an idea that was, he quickly learned the error of his ways as he was caught red handed by the professor himself. The professor didn't seem terribly annoyed though, if anything he seemed impressed that a mere art student would dare to break into his office, and he was amused by the mortal fixation with mating once he learned of Cain's target. Schartzkopf struck a bargain with Cain. If he enrolled in Schwartzkopf's course of Practical Thaumaturgy and passed, he would get the spell as a graduation gift. Cain of course accpeted more than willingly, magic studies had been bared for him up until now. Cain buckled down (a bit at least), and despite not being the academic  sort he managed to get passing grades (barely). True to his word, Cain got the gift he was promissed, but more importantly, he know had a calling, he was a mage. He had heard the voice of Tor calling to him, and he had answered. He was now a devout follower of the old Norse religion, as it was intimatly connected to his magic. This was the straw that broke the camels back in the eyes of his parents, who were devout christians. Their son had goblinized, Awakened, fornicated with both men and women, done drugs, studied magic against his parents wishes, and now he was a heathen. Cain's parents disowned him for good, but Cain didn't care anymore, he had written his parents of a long time ago.<br/>Cain, now calling himself Caliban, eventually returned to Seattle, the perfect place to live if you wanted a life in the shadows, wich sounded pretty good to him at that point in life. If his parents know he is back remains to be seen.<br/>Caliban has pulled of a few, low profile jobs and managed to survive. He has a reputation for being a loyal, if not the most competent and focused, mage. Because mages are still so rare, he has no trouble finding crews to work with. He lives in a nice appartment in the Elven District in Downtown Seattle. He has only been back in Seattle for a year, but he is already a well known face on the Seattle club circuit and he is steadily working his ways down the circles of Dante's Inferno. He has been living well above his means, however, and is now in desperate need of a job.<br/><br/>Personality: Fun loving and easy going, he can be a real reveler when he's in the mood. He does take some recreational drugs now and then, but takes care not to get hooked and stays away from the heavier stuff. He is a well known and well liked regular at several of Seattle's hottest clubs.<br/>Caliban has a craving for gadgets, he has to own the newest and coolest gadgets that are released, and he blew most of his last paycheck on the new Fairlight Caliban (partly because of it's name, but also because it is the cutting edge and the most expensive commlink on the market right now). His appartment is decorated in very good taste, with tastefull and expensive art and furniture and the latest in home entertainment. The fact is that very little is left of the money he got from his parents, and there are no longer a chance in hell that he'll get more, so he'll have to step up his shadowbuisness to make ends meet.<br/>Once he started running, he bought the biggest damn handcannon he could find, a Ruger Super Warhawk. He now lovingly refer to it as ""Doomcock"". Yes, it's all very Freudean.<br/>Caliban is bisexual, but favors females slightly more, he has yet to actually fall in love with a man, men are just for quick sex with no strings attached. He is a regular at Powerline, and he makes sure to dress appropriatly when he goes there.<br/>Caliban's favorite hobbie is clubbing, and picking up hot women to bring home to his place, where he records some naughty simsense of his own. Using a split signal simsense rig, Caliban records both his and his lady friends sensations during the sex. At first it was just a fun thing, but now Caliban claims it has made him a much better and considerate lover. He almost flipped out the first time he ""watched"" through a scene from the womans perspective and realised she had just been faking. To keep that from ever happening again, he makes sure to really focus on the woman and her needs.<br/>Many women don't want him to record them untill he promises them not to distribute the material. Explaining to them that a mage following Tor would suffer serious consequenses if they break their word most agree to the recording, even getting turned on by the idea.<br/>Caliban never records his male encounters, claiming that he already knows what a male orgasm feels like, having experienced plenty himself.<br/>Caliban is clearly a sexoholic, having trouble focusing if he goes without for to long.<br/><br/>Apperance: A tall, well muscled orc with chocolate colored skin and a short, neonorange mohawk, Caliban attracts attention where ever he goes. Considered handsome by even most none orcs, Caliban dresses to enhance his appearance. If he goes clubbing, he wears tight leather pants that doesn't do much to hide his substantial bulge, and he usually wears really tight t-shirts, or maybe some revealing net shirt, or maybe just some brightly colored body paint. When he's not clubbing, he usually wears really stylish and expensive suits, and those who knows him from the club scene would hardly recognize him, he dresses up realy well, looking very dignified and like he'd belong in any Country Club...if it weren't for his tusks.<br/>When he's working he usually wears his dark trench coat, and when he casts his magic his eyes becomes bottomless wells of blue lightning, and electricity crackles over his body and down into the ground, making him look like some angry thunder god.<br/><br/>Contacts:<br/>Erika d'Agincourt<br/>The young heiress to the d'Agincourt fortune, Erika is featured in almost every tabloid magazine each month. Adrien d'Agincourt, the current head of the family buisness, that mostly deals in fashion and fine wines, has shamelessly used his three daughters to promote the companies products, the girls appearing at different high profile social events each week, always wearing the latest from d'Agincourt Haute Couture Inc. Erika, the youngest of the three, has now taken over as the next in line of the d'Agincourt Scandal Beauties. Her older sisters are cutting down on their social events more and more as they get more responsebileties in the family company, making the spotlights focus even more on Erika.<br/>Erika and Caliban met during his time in Prague. Erika was in Europe doing the Grand Tour when she took a little detour to visit some friends that went to the University in Prague. Caliban and her met in a trendy club there, and they clicked, enjoying eachothers company immensely. After that time, Caliban and Erika hooked up regularly when they were in the same area, especially when Erika was mad at Daddy.<br/>The d'Agincourt clan relocated to Tir Taringire when the nation was founded, and they took their company with them, even though they kept most of their land and wineyards in France. Due to their faith in the young nation, that they dared to move their company there as Tir Taringire took it's first baby steps, they eared a lot of good will both among the commoners and the nobility, and most of the d'Agincourt clan holds titles (Erika herself being a Countess). After the recent troubles in Tir Taringire lately, the company and the clan once again relocated, this time to Seattle.<br/>Erika is the classic ""Poor rich girl"", smiling brightly for the cameras while being deeply unhappy with her life. Everyone pulling at her from all sides, wanting things from her. But does her friends even like her, or are they just using her in their own accent to fame? That is one of the reasons she likes spending time with Caliban (appart from slumming and pissing off Daddy). Caliban doesn't want anything from her (except for sex, wich she is also is very fond of, so that works out fine). Erika is actually one of those many women Caliban has used his dual sim rig on during their sex. She was very reluctant at first, but after Caliban promised not to put it up on the Matrix or distribute it in any other kind, and explaining to her what a broken promise would mean to him she agreed, as long as she could get copies of everything they recorded. To this day, she remains his favorite partner, and he keeps her storage crystals safely hidden away.<br/>Erika is a very good contact if you want to get close to the rich and famous, her name opens doors. She gladly helps him when she can, because he ask her for favors as a friend, and gladly returns the favor when she wants something from him. Although he is highly iresponsible, she knows in her heart he will be there when she needs him.<br/><br/>Sweet William: This flamboyant gay troll is a regular at the gay club Powerline, and just happens to be a damn good fixer. (Sweet William is mentioned in Runner Havens, page 112. I think he's fun, and would be a perfect contact for Caliban.)"

He watches Keiko for the<br/>yakuza to be sure no one pries any secrets out of her head. She's a useful<br/>deniable asset and considered very loyal to the yakuza thanks to her upbringing.<br/><br/>Arnold Moore (L:2 C:2)<br/>45 year old dwarf auto mechanic. Brown eyes, bald.<br/><br/>Ethel-Ann Owens (L:3 C:2)<br/>Owner-operator of the Seattle Job Squad, an employment agency. At first, Keiko<br/>used her to find work in the food preparation industry. Recently, she uses the<br/>service to locate jobs that will get her past security.<br/><br/>Gregory Armtwister (L:4 C:3)<br/>Gregory used Keiko as a call-in chef at his restaurant. She uses him to vouch<br/>for her when caught in a jam with the authorities.<br/><br/>Samuel Dobson (L:2 C:3)<br/>Every runner needs a street doc to patch her up when things don't go as planned.<br/><br/>BACKGROUND<br/>Keiko is a Human-appearing Ork reared by a yakuza family in Japan to be a<br/>companion-bodyguard for Toju Shotozumi, Sokaiya (shareholders meeting man) boss<br/>of Isogashi. As conventional weapons would be forbidden at social gatherings,<br/>her primary combat skills are unarmed combat and concealed weapon attacks<br/>and since she is a physical adept warrior such things is second nature to her.<br/>After an injury defending her boss, the Ork genome was discovered by the<br/>doctors. Due to the xenophobic nature of the Japanese and the yakuza in<br/>particular, she was expelled from the group and was allowed to live after a<br/>pharmacologic and hypnotic mind-wipe of the gumi's activities and her own Ork<br/>race. She was shipped off to Seattle, where Toju's cousin Hanzo keeps an eye on<br/>her.<br/><br/>Keiko was born at the Hiroshima Red Cross Maternity Hospital not far from the<br/>Atomic Bomb Dome. Upon leaving the facility, the family was caught up in a<br/>confrontation between Shinto right-wingers and socialist leftists. Adding the<br/>frustrated police to the volatile mix resulted in a riot. A Molotov cocktail hit<br/>the car, which then swerved out of control into a wall. With the doors jammed<br/>shut, the best Keiko's mother could do was hurl her baby from the car to spare<br/>her from the inferno. Borrowing a page from the Chicom spy manual, the yakuza<br/>picked over orphans looking for promising talent whose loyalty to the adoptive<br/>family could be ensured. And yet paradoxically, the yaks had no similar<br/>blood-attachment to the soldier.<br/><br/><br/>APPEARANCE<br/>Keiko appears to be an attractive, well developed, Japanese young woman with<br/>Asian skin tone, and delicate facial features. She is 152 centimeters tall and<br/>weighs 50 kilograms. Her black hair falls to mid-back, and her almond eyes are a<br/>dark brown almost black hue. She has neither tattoo nor piercing. The bullet<br/>wounds in her left flank and right thigh were eradicated by the finest<br/>techniques of the plastic surgeons. Radiologic scans would reveal old,<br/>well-healed fractures of her left tibia and fibula, left humerus and right<br/>femur.<br/><br/>She favours business suits with either slacks or mid-thigh dresses and always in<br/>high heels in which she can walk/run/or what ever in without even a hint of<br/>problem. For social occasions, the little black dress is always in style. Black,<br/>gray and white are her non-colors of choice often with a splash of red in an<br/>accessory. She loves pearls, but has no interest in gemstones or precious metals<br/>save in their convertibility to nuyen. Her hair id often put up with a barrette<br/>and twin hairpins.<br/><br/>The companion sports a perpetual smile even in inappropriate situations, but she<br/>never bares her teeth, as that would be like an animal. When bored and<br/>especially when annoyed, she gently massages her left upper arm with her right<br/>hand, perhaps reminiscent of her old injury. She is personally fastidious and<br/>can spot a mote of dust from across the room. On the other hand, she has no<br/>problem with blood and guts in the line of duty. She even smiles while about her<br/>work.<br/><br/><br/>PERSONALITY & RUNNING THE SHADOW<br/>The dead don't matter much, but around town there are relatives and friends of<br/>gang members and runners who have suffered at her hands. She hasn't done enough<br/>to warrant the attention of the megacorps, but the Triads and Rings have her on<br/>their radars. They use her as a go-between or a courier when the yaks are<br/>involved. Still, when one of their boys gets his face kicked in, wondering<br/>glances turn in her direction. Back home, some have long felt that she should<br/>have been killed rather than allowed to walk away with secrets buried in her<br/>memory. Others believe that her loyalty to the yakuza is ingrained and that she<br/>has utility as a deniable asset.<br/><br/>Keiko longs for the good old days when she was at the top of an admittedly short<br/>ladder. Wealth alone won't buy her status, so she is constantly looking for a<br/>patron. The flip side is that she hates to be told what to do, especially in her<br/>area of expertise by knuckleheads. Therefore, she has made no effort to join<br/>anything with a military or corporate structure.<br/><br/>She feels enough residual closeness with the yakuza not to go head to head with<br/>them, though collateral damage is just bad luck. Death is her main course,<br/>intimidation and pummelling appetizers. Random destruction is distasteful when<br/>avoidable. The woman fancies that her word is her bond and consequently isn't in<br/>the habit of making idle commitments and plays semantics when backed into a<br/>corner. Keiko doesn't find chromeware attractive, but she has no problem with a<br/>cybered up solo on her team.<br/><br/>Although she has none herself, she finds extensive yakuza tattooing fascinating.<br/>She disdains anything less as fit only for girly men and whores. Despite a<br/>previous diet of haute cuisine, Keiko prefers a diet of sushi and noodles.<br/>Vanilla ice cream and brownies is her favourite desert. The young woman projects<br/>a calm and even warm façade over the ice queen bitch inside. Woe to the person<br/>who crosses her, because she never forgets a wrong.<br/><br/>Keiko runs in the shadows, because that's what she's good at. And it pays the<br/>bills, sort of. It occasionally gives her a chance to meet and greet men of<br/>power."
8013,Shadowrun:Shadows over emerald city.PRX\login\\Matrix2.0\Runner Creation,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=4127.0,"15-02-2007, 23:48:38",Idachan,".Name: Noe Konani<br/>Alias: Michelle Hadaly<br/>Age: 22<br/>Metatype: Elf<br/>Occupation: Hostess/bartender/dancer of the second level of Dante's Inferno<br/>Total Karma: 0<br/>Unspent Karma: 0<br/>Nuyen : 3d6+6 x 50 = 1000<br/>Lifestyle : Low (2000/month)<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Sexual Preference: Bisexual<br/>Height: 177 cm / 5'8<br/>Weight: 60 kg / 132lb<br/>Eyes: Coffee brown<br/>Hair: Waist long electrically-sensitive filament implants, usually set to glow lava-red<br/>Skin: toffee tan<br/>Distinguishing Marks/Body Modifications: shining metal dust skin dye<br/>Demeanor: Cheerful, optimistic and rather easy going though hyper, possibly a side-effect from the copious amounts of energy drinks she consume.<br/>Background: Noe was born and grew up at Waikiki, Honolulu, her parents part of the staff of the Royal Hawai'ian hotel with her father as insurance claim lawyer and her mother as Special Events Manager. Most of Noe's childhood was spent in the glamour and sunshine, her schooling early focusing on entertainment and customer service as everyone including Noe simply assumed that she would go into the business as soon as possible, which she also did as a youth group hostess after school hours. One thing her parents did not like as much was the girl's growing fondness and fascination of the online world and though she was not online for the great crash of 64, she little by little started to show signs of change while the net was being rebuilt. But as she had gotten more and more tasks and longer work hours, Noe hardly had time to explore the net, the solution was energy drinks. It started innocently enough but escalated into a drink before class to get through the day after minimal hours of sleep, another one before meeting the demonic hordes (the children in her care) and then one in the evening to stay awake. And as AR entered the scene in every day life, it became more and more appearant that Noe was different, her old cyberdeck was left alone completely and she wasn't even quick on buying a commlink. She didn't need them. Management saw immense potential in that, a night club host who can look at the guests profiles without looking like a walking computer was usefull after all, and Noe's parents grudgingly accepted it. And with no chance of deciding her fate on her own, Noe quickly grew bored with Hawai'i and her job, her dream of becoming a notable fixer so impossible in vacation land. But then a stroke of luck changed that when a friend in Seattle offered her job at a nightclub, one that Noe had actually heard of even. Sadly the pay just about covers Noe's energy drink consumption and two months into living in Seattle, some nuyen need to come Noe's way soon or she wont be able to pay the rent for her small studio in the bottom end quarters of the International District.<br/>Personality: While Noe's optimistic and cherful behaviour might make people find her naive and cute, she is actually very driven and motivated. She is pretty much willing to do anything it takes to reach her goals and while she's still squeamish about battle, that includes killing people. While a true friend or comrade would enjoy her utter loyalty, she would also be willing to use her loyalty as a step to further her career, build a reputation as trustworthy. So far though, her jobs have been small, low profile and basic but she has done them well enough. Her achilles heel will most likely be her addiction to energy drinks, either burning her out or forcing her to move onto stronger drugs especially as Noe regards sleep as a waste of time that she can't afford yet. Sex on the other hand is regarded as a healthy, recreational past time, not excessively indulged or feared. While quiet flirting is usefull to set up relations, she wouldn't conciously use sex to get anything.<br/>Appearance: Noe's stature isn't as much impressive as wellshaped, her genes a melting pot of polynesian, asian and various indo-european constelations that luckily enough have given her an appealing result. Though she's almost short for being an elf, Noe can at least claim good proportions with long legs, high waist and sharp shoulders. Though she's neither very buxom or especially thin, her curves create a good balance pleasing to the eye. Her dark brown eyes are slightly almond-shaped, her nose cute with it's roundness and her lips voluptious. Noe's hair is naturally black with dark brown highlights, mostly straight but with some soft waves, and she usually wore it long and lose. Now she has gotten filament implants, so thin and fine that it looks like real hair apart from the fact that it can change colour with a thought and can glow slightly. She usually wears it lava red in homage to the godess Pele. She has also had metal powder dusted on permanently to compliment the natural glossyness of her toffee tanned skin, it's natural creamy lushness and appetizing tan a feature she likes to show off with minimal clothing such as bikini tops and pareo (sarong). On runs however, she dons mostly neutral clothes, favouring flat gogo boots and A-line dresses.<br/>Living Persona: Noe's icon appears to others like a deliciously racy and naughty Bettie Page pin up girl, featuring corsets and garters as often as lovely vintage bathing suits. Though it moves through Noe's interactions as usuall, it also has a set of different poses that it can assume.<br/>Firewall : 3<br/>Response : 5 (6)<br/>Signal : 3<br/>System : 5<br/>Biofeedback Filter : 6<br/>VR Matrix Initiative : 11<br/>VR Matrix Initiative Passes : 3<br/><br/>Complex Forms<br/>Analyze (4)<br/>Armor (4)<br/>Browse (5)<br/>Decrypt (4)<br/>Defuse (4)<br/>Edit (4)<br/>Exploit (4)<br/>Reality Filter (4)<br/>Sniffer (5)<br/>Stealth (4)<br/><br/>Sprites<br/>Laka / Fault Sprite (4)<br/>Kanaloa / Courier Sprite (4)<br/><br/>Attributes<br/>Body: 2<br/>Agility: 3<br/>Reaction: 3<br/>Strength: 2<br/>Charisma: 6<br/>Intuition: 5<br/>Logic: 5<br/>Willpower: 3<br/><br/>Edge: 1<br/>Resonance: 5<br/>Initiative: 8<br/>Essence: 6<br/><br/>Knowledge Skills<br/>English : N<br/>Hawai'ian : 3<br/>Mandarin: 2<br/>Cantonese: 2<br/>Sperethiel: 3<br/>Street Drugs : 2<br/>Computer Background : 3<br/>Club Music : 2<br/>Club circuit : 3<br/>Security Procedures: 2<br/>Security Design: 2<br/>Liqour: 3<br/><br/>Active Skills<br/>Cybercombat : 3<br/>Electronic Warfare : 3<br/>Hacking : 3<br/>Computer : 3<br/>Data Search : 3<br/>Hardware : 3<br/>Software : 3<br/>Compiling : 3<br/>Decompiling : 3<br/>Registering : 3<br/>Pistols (tasers) : 1<br/>Dodge : 1<br/>Etiquette : 2<br/>Gymnastics  : 1<br/><br/>Positive Qualities<br/>Technomancer<br/>First Impression<br/><br/>Negative Qualities<br/>SINner<br/>Combat Paralysis<br/>Addiction, moderate<br/><br/>Weapons<br/>Yamaha Pulsar<br/>Taser Darts (10 shots)<br/><br/>Armors<br/>Armor Jacket<br/>Clothing (Chic)<br/>Clothing (Regular)<br/><br/>Commlink : Novatech Airware<br/>Armor (4)<br/>Attack (3)<br/>Biofeedback filter (3)<br/>Data Bomb (3)<br/>ECCM (3)<br/>Encrypt (3)<br/>Medic (3)<br/>Spoof (4)<br/>Track (3)<br/>Mapsoft (Rating 4)<br/>Virtual Surround Music<br/>VR Game<br/>OS : Novatech Navi<br/>3 Datachips<br/>Printer<br/><br/>Equipments<br/>Fake Sin (Rating 4)<br/>Certified Credstick (Gold)<br/><br/>Contacts<br/>Sharissa Monroe (L:2 C:3)<br/>A lovely elven fixer who got a job for Noe at Dante's Inferno, more of a coworker than friend at the moment.<br/><br/>Danny Boy (L:1 C:4)<br/>A human dealer with everything from bubblegum to weapons, hopes that Noe will start using drugs but in the meanwhile he'll do business with her as usuall.<br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Ida_chan/Second%20Life/Coco_012.jpg)"

Her pussy is always moist and ready for action, and it is as tight as if it was virginal, even if the woman has had children. In fact, the pussy is magically acomondating, being able to accept impossibly large members without much discomfort. Great ability for those who finds themselves being ravaged by minotaurs on a regular basis, for example.<br/><br/>Armor of Zhuythaya: As their Vows forbid the Warrior Nuns to cover themselves up completely in armor, Zhuythaya bestowed upon them her blessing, making a nude Nun almost as resiliant and well protected as a knight in armor. Can be used with partial armor for even greater effect. If they put on to much armor, however, Zhuythaya no longer feel they need her blessing and removes it.<br/><br/>Healing Touch: Just as their Paladin colleagues, the Warrior Nuns have a healing touch. Since it is bestowed upon them by Bambii, they will have to give their patient sexual release, only using their hands, for the healing to stay permanent. While the effect is almost instantaneous, the damage will return with a vengance if the Nun aborts before the patient climaxes. Works just as good on men and women. Can be used once a day.<br/><br/>Holy Communion: By performing a sacred ritual, the Warrior Nun can give the blessing of the Godesses to those in attendance. The blessing makes people feel more healthy and lucky for several days after.<br/><br/>Whip and Sword: All Warrior Nuns uses a Sword/Whip combo. The Sword to smite evil, the Whip to keep the rebelious in line. One popular technique is using the whip to keep the Nuns opponents away, cracking it at those who get to close, and using the sword on those who manages to get into fighting distance.<br/><br/>Bloody Whip: A first level Warrior Nun can wield her whip with deadly accuracy, even separating flesh from bone with a crack of the whip.<br/><br/>(http://grigbertz.com/gallery/d/468-2/PMAX_Sofia_bottomless.jpg)<br/><br/>"

Basically, the character actually STARTING with some stats before they Exalt, and then spending the experience. I'm thinking maybe 4/3/3 for stats, 10 points in abilities, and 4 points for virtues. These would be restrained by the usual creation rules, but I figure that they might help a little bit for some of the losses from Transmigration. I'm thinking maybe to keep characters from pumping all those points into one thing, a max of 3 in any attribute/Virtue before the Experience is spent, and a maximum of 2 in any ability before Experience is spent. Sound reasonable?<br/><br/>The thought behind this IS, since it only fills in the first few spots, it won't be very abuseable, but it'll also help a character from ending up having several 1s- something that most Dynastic families would be very, VERY unhappy about."

Might take the PARAGON benefit from the Ventrue Clanbook so she can have the 6th Dot in RESOURCES after all a money woman needs money. Would oversee some as yet unnamed organization working with the Inquisition and any other group of hunters to hunt these abominations. Would keep a wide social circle through her charity network and legitimate businesses so she can meet other hunters in epected ways.<br/><br/>Immortal from the unofficial sourcebook online I would likely play a relatively young Immortal that is good hearted but has to use unorthodox tactics to overcome other more experienced, likely would have a special forces or covert ops background or criminal background. Would be fun for me I love HIGHLANDER.<br/><br/>Ventrue ancilla (not as powerful on paper but due to age and being useful to the Elders) and expert information specialist would have a team of elite information gatherers using conventional methods and money, like a mortal to overcome the Nosferatu advantage of powers. Technology is her weapon and the internet and spy gear highly favored. Might sideline in giving help to new vampires just being nice no boons expected so might be popular as THE nice Ventrue and go-to Kindred in the city. Of course not all without motive a friend is worth much more than a debt owed in Kindred society in the long night. Would also host parties open to vampires out of the loop for dealing with more imprtant persons a chance to network, make friends and influence youngsters.<br/><br/>Caitiff Trash well she is a vampire and well has powers but she was just raped by a vampire and survived. Would have few assets and just try to get by in a world that has the power resting at the top. Makes a living as a Streetwalker and gets her meals on the fly. Tries to be useful by being loyal to the Prince and feeding them intelligence in secret on dangerous activities the Sheriff needs to keep tabs on. But mostly she wants to survive and enjoy what she can being a vampire at least its better than being a mortal. lol"

The GM wil lthen roll for the badguys, and update the initiatrive/status list which wil lbe posted at the end of the GM post. Example:<br/><br/>Joe 12/15 hp<br/>Tim 8/12 hp poisoned<br/>Ann 4/8<br/>Sandra -1/14 Ko'd and not yet stabalized<br/>Eric -3/15 stabalized<br/>Bandits #1: 2/10 hp<br/>Bandit #2: 12/14 hp<br/>Bandit #3 dead<br/>Bandit Leader 18/22 migicaly held.<br/><br/>at the end of each combat post you should have an OOC section. This can be done by putting <""hr""> (without the parenthesis) and using a red font for the ooc info. So your ooc section should look....<br/><hr/><br/>OOC:<br/>Like this.<br/><br/>Attack Bandit #2: 17 (meaning you rolled 17 total after all modifiers)<br/>Damage(if needed): 7<br/><br/>Pretty easy stuff. I wil lpost a minimin of every three days. If you miss a turn I will NPC you for that turn. If everyone posts soooner i wil lpost sooner. If we need to give more time to post then that's okay too, but Three days should be plenty of tiem to get your post in."

All feats and spells must be approved by me to make sure that they fit the era.<br/><br/><strong>The available classes</strong><br/><br/>A game set on Gothic Earth would have a hard time explaining most of the classes from Players Handbook and therefor Masque of the Red Death has it's own core and prestige classes. While I wont be sharing level progression and details, I will explain shortly about each of the classes. There are six core classes and each of those have a couple of specific variants. So while four players might have the same core class, they might not have abilites at all alike.<br/><br/><br/>The Adept<br/>All arcane magic users fall under the Adept but they are not wizards per se. There are no schools teaching the arts of magic so apart from the lucky few, most are self taught. The general adept is focused on metamagic feats mostly.<br/>-the Charlatan.<br/>Stage magicians who stumbled on the truth and found that their tricks worked. Charisma casters and performers, think illusionists and arcane tricksters. A clever Charlatan need not admitt to the world that his magic is real and in a world that doesn't believe in magic, that can be a tremendous advantage.<br/>-the Metaphysician<br/>Experts of the occult who view the practise of magic as a scientific endevour. The metaphysician can choose between a bonus metamagical feat or Skill Focus: Knowledge when the adept would ordinarilly get a metamagic feat.<br/>-the Occultist<br/>Dedicated on the border of fanaticism to their arcane studies, the occultist excel at learning new spells but can become quite socially awkward, particularly amongst those who don't believe in magic which at this time is almost everyone.<br/><br/>The Athlete<br/>The most physically oriented class with everything from mercenaries to baseball players. The general athlete is a sportsman (or woman) and come from every social class. Weather you are a pugilist, fencer or tennis player, this class offers bonus feats a la grande, profficiency with most weapons and enough skill points for a well off character.<br/>-the Explorer/Scout<br/>Self-sufficient, handy and curious. A guide for hire or explorer seeking fame for being the first person to set foot in a remote, dangerous place. These are the people who bravely venture into the untamed lands of the savages, searching for hidden treasure in any form and mapping previously unknown areas. The obvious comparison would be Indiana Jones.<br/>-the Shootist<br/>The gunslinger of the old American West, the expert on firearms. Either specializing in handguns or longarms, the shootist gains every possible feat to make him or her an outstanding shooter. Pretty straightforward.<br/>-the Soldier<br/>A military man or mercenary perhaps, the soldier is a specialist on warfare but usually only skilled in a few weapons though those he excel in. An extremely combat oriented class.<br/><br/>The Intellectual<br/>The formally educated falls into this class, focused on skills and learning but extremely flexible. This is very much the era for progress and invention, women have been attending higher education for about 50 years by now and equal brilliancy with their male counterparts though perhaps not as famed or well percieved. The general intellectual gains skill focus bonus feats a broad education.<br/>-the Parson<br/>The religiously devout man or woman, lacks spellcasting ability but is a scholar on matters of the faith. The strenght of the parson's faith eventually grants him or her the ability to turn undead and bless water.<br/>the Physician<br/>Doctors and scientists of the human health, healers not killers. The physician is under oath to give aid to all who need it but on the plus side, prescription drugs.<br/>-the Scholar/Scientist<br/>A quintessential scientist and scholar, a researcher and pursuer of knowledge. In many ways a bookworm who would preffer the sanctity of a lab or a library to the adventures of life. Usually tied to an institution such as a museum, university or library which might work both for good and bad.<br/><br/>The Mystic<br/>Mystics gain their abilities from the spirit world, though they cast divine spells they are not tied to religion. The general mystic get the ritual of turning or rebuking undead and metamagical feats.<br/>- the Medium<br/>Victims of fate, blessed or cursed with the possession of magical powers. While mystics ordinarily study the spirit world in order to learn their magic, mediums know them spontaniously. And speaks with spirits of course.<br/>-the Shaman<br/>A mystic who hails from a tribal society, generally known as primitive savages, with a great affinity for nature and the wild. The druids of Gothic Earth in many ways and abilities, minus the wild shape. Though the shaman is looked down upon by the civilized world, he pities them in return and rejoices in the wilderness.<br/>- the Spiritualist<br/>Like the metaphysician, the spiritualist applies scientific method to the endevours of mystical powers. Yet another field of science, albeit a generally ignored one, the spiritualist tends to be arrogant as he regards the scientists who do not aknowledge magic as science to be fools.<br/><br/>The Sleuth<br/>From the constable strolling the foggy banks of the Thames to the sheriff on the dusty streets of Dodge City, not to mention the un-official detectives like Sherlock Holmes, the sleuth encompasses all kinds of characters with investigative goals. Either vigilantes or employed officers of law, private investigators or vindictive hobbyists.<br/>-the Criminal<br/>The hunted and the hunter share many of the same characteristics. Comparable to the rogue in some ways but always on the wrong side of the law, hopefully though, on the right side of the battle against evil.<br/>-the Dandy<br/>Born to be the absolute creme de la creme, the dandy is a figure of boundless curiosity and plenty of time to indulge in their inquisitiveness. Charmers usually but not necessarily hesitating to use intimidation to get their way. While not all who want to play upperclass or nobility need to be Dandies, the Dandy has honed his skills to use his or hers status and money to get exactly what they want and look dashing while doing it.<br/>-the Journalist<br/>The popular press is a booming industry in the 1890s and every major city has at least one newspaper. The journalist is constantly on the watch for events to document and report, relentlessly pursuing their story when they find one. In his or her work, the journalist builds an impressive network of contacts and connections.<br/><br/>The Tradesman<br/>Tradesmen are the artisands, the corner grocer, housekeeprs, the tailor or the policeman on his beat to name a few possibilites. The backbone of society and depending on choices, everything from antiquarians to warden.<br/>-the Mechanic<br/>Inventors, engineers or simply workers, the mechanics tend to the trains, steamships and electric devices. They are the tradesmen who focus on technical education and prowess.<br/>-the Performer<br/>A broad class with actors, singers and even circus artists to mention a few. The performer tends to be flamboyant in order to be noticed, their very livelihood depends on their reviews after all and who would give any attention to a dull and bleak character? Gains some bard abilities and skill focus perform.<br/><br/>"

When you take this skill, you must specify the subject, such as the cuisine of a particular nation, wine making, painting, sculpting, music and similar subjects. If you subcateghorize further, your DM may lower the DC of the checks for that specialty.<br/>Uses: Authentication.<br/><br/>Craft (int)<br/>New crafts include clockworks, electrical devices, gunsmith, masonry, mechanical devices, needlework, photography, steam engines and tailor. In the age of massproduction, handmade items have increased value in some cases.<br/><br/>Equestrian (Dex)<br/>This skill only gives you the ability to ride horses, ponies, mules or donkeys. More exotic animals such as camels or elephants are different enough that attempting to ride them is difficult.<br/><br/>First Aid (Wis)<br/>This skill enables you to attempt to render aid to dying friends or assist wounded characters in regaining mobility. You can use First Aid to perform simple emergency procedures such as bandaging a wound, stopping bleeding, providing immediate relief from snake or spider venom, treating sunstroke, shock, splinting a broken bone, etc. Tasks that require extensive care or complex procedures require Profession Physician or Profession Nurse to accomplish.<br/><br/>Hypnosis (Cha, trained only)<br/>You have studied the hidden workings of the human mind and can unlock its secrets.<br/><br/>Knowledge Archology<br/>You are familiar not only with the study of the past, but also familiar with the techniques by which such information is acquired. You are also acquinted with recent discoveries of archeological import and with the names of prominent archaeologists currently at work in the field or in universities and museums.<br/><br/>Knowledge Ancient Language<br/>You must select a specific ancient language when taking this skill. Languages that qualify as ancient include Babylonian, ancient Egyptian (demotic or hieroglyphic), Greek, ancient Hebrew and Sumerian. Latin may be selected as a modern language. The DM may decide to allow certain other languages as appropriate. This skill allows you to know both the written and spoken elements of a language, provided such elements exist. For example, a skill in Egyptian hieroglyphics does not allow a character to ""speak"" hieroglyphics. Greek, however, can be both written and spoken.<br/><br/>Knowledge Criminology<br/>You have studied crime and it's history. While the first use of fingerprinting in law enforcement has not yet occured, anyone can learn much from a careful study of criminals and their techniques. At a crime scene, you are able to realize the importance of something that has been found.<br/><br/>Knowledge Cryptography<br/>You possess some training and skill in deciphering hidden messages and codes. You know how ciphers and codes are designed and can create your own codes.<br/><br/>Knowledge Demolition<br/>Explosives are far more common in Masque of the Red Death setting than they are in a traditional fantasy setting. You are knowledgeable about the use of various types of explosives, including how to set charges for best effects. You also know the storage requirements for various types of explosives and their detonators.<br/><br/>Knowledge Earth Science<br/>This extremely broad cathegory includes the following: agriculture, astronomy, botany, geography and geology. When selecting this skill you may choose to specialize in one of these sciences.<br/><br/>Knowledge Etiquette<br/>This skill gives the hero and understanding of the proper forms of behaviour and address required in many different situations, including those involving nobility and person of rank.<br/><br/>Knowledge Forbidden Lore<br/>This skill indicates you possess knowledge of events long past that are either sinister or macabre in nature. Knowledge Forbidden Lore can also be specialized in arcane or mystic for example.<br/><br/>Knowledge History<br/>When you chose this skill, you must select a specific area or period of history as your area of expertise. For example, you might select the history of European winemaking, French history or the Italian Renaissance. A subject as broad as European history or the history of a single vineyard in Burgundy would not be appropriate, since one is too general and the other is too specific. You may also use your Knowledge History area of expertise for knowledge of art or literature following the same general guidelines.<br/><br/>Knowledge Goverment<br/>You are knowledgeable about the system of government and laws of a designated country of large organization. You are also familiar with the bureaucracy of your chosen country or ogranization.<br/><br/>Knowledge Life Science<br/>This category includes the following biology, medicine, psychology and zoology. You may chose to specialize in one of these sciences when choosing this skill.<br/><br/>Knowledge Navigation<br/>Navigation is much more exact on Gothic Earth than in most fantasy campaign worlds. You know how the principles and applications of navigation and can, if necessary, navigate by the stars alone.<br/><br/>Knowledge Religion<br/>Only difference from ordinary DnD is that when choosing this skill, you must designate either Modern or Ancient religion. Modern religion gives you a general familiarity with religions practiced on Gothic Earth. Ancient  religion provides you with an understanding of religions that are no longer practiced openly on Gothic Earth.<br/><br/>Knowledge Science<br/>This category includes astronomy, chemistry, electricity, engineering, mathematics and physics as well as similar physical sciences. When selecting this skill,  you can chose to specialize in one of these sciences.<br/><br/>Knowledge Toxicology<br/>Toxicology is the science of poisons, their effects and their handling. You have a chance to identify common poisons, know how they are administered and possess a basic understanding of their effect. You can handle most poisons without endangering yourself. Knowledge science is required to make poisons. Knowledge life science [toxicology] is necessary to create new poisons that mimic a specific natural disease or to identify the formula for antidotes.<br/><br/>Perform (cha)<br/>The Oratory skill includes Debating.<br/><br/>Proffesion (wis, trained only)<br/>New proffesions include athlete, archealogist, lawyer, miner, nurse, photographer, physician, politician, railroad engineer and teamster to name only a few.<br/><br/>Prognostication (int, trained only)<br/>With this skill, you catch fleeting glimpses of the future. When this skill is selected, you must select a method by which you attempt to read the future. Possible techniques include astrology, palm reading, tealeaf reading and numerology, among others. This skill does not present direct solutions the way a divination spell might.<br/><br/>Psychometry (Wis, trained only)<br/>You have a limited psychic gift that enables you to detect the faint impressions attached to items involved in traumatic or highly emotionally charged events. For instance, you attempt to use Psychometry on a knife used as murder weapon, a successful check might reveal great pain and terror linked to the weapon. If the object has no traumatic event associated with it, or if the roll fails, you sense nothing.<br/><br/>Sixth Sense (Int, trained only)<br/>You are sensitive to the presence of the supernatural in its many manifestations. If you spend one round clearing your mind and making yourself receptive to the ambient energies of the area you can sense the presence of spell use, the undead or supernatural creatures. You experiance only a tingling awareness that supernatural energies are near, but you recieve no clue as to the nature of the energies. Your Sixth Sense may, however, provide you and your companions with sufficient warning to take special precautions.<br/><br/>Speak Language (none, trained only)<br/>This skill applies only for modern languages. Latin is considered to be a modern language. Ancient languages and dead languages use Knowledge ancient language.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Feats</strong><br/>For feats, use the ordinary feat list in the DnD 3.5 PHB and/or the feats listed here. I will also allow some feats from the Ravenloft setting as to a certain degree, they still make sense. A rule of my own is that the feats granting skill bonuses also grant the skill as class skill.<br/><br/>Ancient Knowledge Expert<br/>Prerequisite: Int 16+<br/>If it's not at least a thousand years old, you are not interested! Arguing over translations of ancient text is your favourite pastime. You gain +2 to skill checks for Knowledge ancient language and Knowledge ancient history.<br/><br/>Called Shot<br/>Prerequisite: Point blank shot, Precise Shot.<br/>When you attack with a firearm you can attempt to slightly injure the target by aiming for an appendage or you can attempt to hit a vital part, causing serious or lethal injury.<br/><br/>Diligent<br/>You gain a +2 bonus on Appraise and Knowledge Ancient Language checks.<br/><br/>Disarming Shot<br/>Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot.<br/>You can try to defuse a situation by shooting a firearm out of the hand of an opponent. Disarming shot does not work with shotguns or scatterguns.<br/><br/>Exotic Weapon Proficiency<br/>Archaic weapons are included in this category.<br/><br/>Feign Death<br/>You can decieve someone into believing you are dead; you can also slow down your life functions to conserve energy or avoid running out of air.<br/><br/>Find Familiar<br/>This works in the same manner as the wizard's special as described in the Chapter 3: Classes of the D&D Player's Handbook. A 20% powers check must be made when it is used.<br/><br/>Improved Pugilism<br/>Prerequisite: Pugilism<br/>You are especially skilled with unarmed attacks. You recieve a +2 bonus on damage when using unarmed attacks.<br/><br/>Improvised Weapon Feat<br/>You can find something to use as a weapon when none are readily available.<br/><br/>Keen Sense<br/>One of your senses is so highly developed that you can use it to sense things most humans can't. This feat complements Uncanny Sense and can be taken multiple times for more sense than one heightened.<br/><br/>Light Sleeper<br/>You are awakened by the slightest disturbance nearby.<br/><br/>Linguist<br/>Prerequisite: Int 16<br/>Learning new languages is easier for you. Speak Language is a class skill for you.<br/><br/>Mimicry, Vocal<br/>You can imitate exactly the voice of another human you have heard.<br/><br/>Mimicry, Sounds<br/>You can imitate nonarticulated sounds such as the call of a bird or the click of a pistol.<br/><br/>Mounted Marksmanship<br/>Prerequisite: Mounted Combat<br/>You can fire a gun accurately when mounted. Works exactly like mounted archery but benefits you when using firearms.<br/><br/>Perfect Memory<br/>Choose either Auditory or Visual, you have the ability to remember anything you have heard or seen.<br/><br/>Perfect Pitch<br/>You can identify and sing specific notes with complete accuracy. You can also shatter glass.<br/><br/>Pugilism<br/>You are able to fight well with your fists. You gain +2 on attack rolls when attempting to fight unarmed and can choose to make lethal damage rather than nonlethal.<br/><br/>Rapid Reload<br/>Prerequisite: You must be proficient with a pistol.<br/>You can load your pistol quickly in combat, reloading becomes a move action rather than the normal 2 bullets per full round.<br/><br/>Ricochet Shot<br/>Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot, Int 13, BAB +4<br/>You can hit something not in the direct line of fire as long as there is something metallic which can allow you to redirect the shot. Ignore concealment miss chances at the cost of -4 to the attack roll.<br/><br/>Savoir- faire<br/>You have the ability to smoothly and quickly adept to any situation in any type of company. If you are male and you are suddenly confronted by a pack of angry thugs, you might make a Savoir-Faire check to strike up a conversation and pass yourself off as one of the thugs. If you are female, you might be able to charm your way out of danger in the same situation. Conversely, you can exhibit all the grace and nobility shown in the great courts of Europe, perhaps garnering the finest tables in restaurants or the best suites in hotels.<br/><br/>Speed Reading<br/>You can read and comprehend any language you already know ten times faster than normal.<br/><br/>Trick Shot<br/>Prerequisite: Point Blank Shot, Blind-Fight, dex 16, BAB +8<br/>Your skill with a firearm challenges that of the legendary Annie Oakley.<br/><br/>Uncanny Sense<br/>One of your senses is highly precise, able to percieve phenomena attuned to that sense. Can be taken more than once to enhance another sense.<br/><br/>And at last, a small taste of Ravenloft Feats<br/><br/>Courage<br/>You are particularly fearless in the face of danger. You get a +4 bonus on all Fear saves.<br/><br/>Ghostsight<br/>You can see creatures in the Near Ethereal. Folklore views this as the ability to see the dead.<br/><br/>Open Mind<br/>An adaptable mind keeps your sanity resilient. You enjoy a +4 bonus on all Madness saves.<br/><br/>Reincarnated<br/>You have vague, dreamlike memories of a former life. You even possess skills you have never knowingly learned."
8159,Pavane for a Century - Masque of the Red Death:Gothic Earth,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=9061.0,"02-03-2007, 17:55:34",Idachan,"Gothic Earth ano 1890<br/>As this is a horror game some things will be exagurated. Discrimination due to skin colour, social class and gender will be running rampant for example. Another significant thing is that not all of the world is yet mapped out, expeditions have a high failure rate due to the things that go bump in the night and human corruption. The easiest way to explain this world is to say that it has been slowly corrupted and is now struggling to emerge above that, with this the last decade of a dark millenia the last chance to save the world from a horrifying future. And that is up to the player characters.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Masque of the Red Death functions in many ways like regular D&D but has it's own rules for some things and incorporates Ravenloft rules such as Power Checks and three new saves. As a player it can be good to know how certain things work.<br/><br/>Powers Check<br/>The heroes of Gothic Earth is balancing dangerously close on the edge of doom and even the slightest of misstep can spiral them down on the path of corruption.  Every action has a consequence and the fact that your very soul depends on it makes it all the more important to consider one's actions.<br/><br/>Every time you commit an evil act, even for the greater good, I will roll a Powers Check to see if you fall to corruption or not. Even lying is hazardous in this world and breaking an oath can turn you evil. Failure on a Powers Check corruption grants you a certain degree of power, tempting you to increase that power by commiting more acts that demand for a check. Do note however that this is not a road to strive for and while not easy, it is not completely impossible to redeem yourself.<br/><br/>Innocence<br/>The definition of Innocence in a Masque of the Red Death campaign is a person of good alignment who has never commited an act worthy of a Powers Check. It is lost as soon as such an act is done and can never be regained.<br/><br/>Fear, Madness and Horror<br/>These are saves created to help the players portray their characters feelings when confronted with realisations, situations and actions that are out of the ordinary. They are essentially Will saves and affected just like Will saves from feats and items, Fear saves are also affected by anything that grants you bonus or penalty on saves against fear effects. Luck and resistance bonuses do not count however.<br/><br/>The mechanics are rather simple, sucess grants you a 24 hour immunity to checks from that specific source, if you see a murder being commited and suceeds on your Horror check, you wont need to roll again for witnessing another murder for 24 hours. Failure means that you are affected in some way by the scene, you might be frightened, you might go insane, or you might faint from the shock.<br/><br/>Fear is rolled for dangerous situations like being outnumbered in battle.<br/><br/>Madness are the least common of these saves but can be severly crippling. Being locked up at a sanitarium of this age might actually provoke several Madness checks.<br/><br/>Horror is rolled when the character is confronted with acts of evil and cruelty like seeing your friend subject to torture or to make the realization that the horrifying serial killer is in fact your sweetheart.<br/><br/><br/>Magic<br/><br/>I'm sure it comes as no shock that magic on Earth functions very differently than magic in the Forgotten Realms for example.<br/><br/>For reasons that I will not yet reveal, magic is both dangerous and highly unreliable on Gothic Earth. To cast a spell you must (I will) make a Knowledge Forbidden Lore [arcane or mystic] check to see if you suceed in casting the spell, if you do you must (I will) make a Powers Check to see if your spell goes unnoticed. If it doesn't... well then you are on the path of corruption.<br/><br/>If your skill check fails, there are a few ways for the desperate to still fire the spell. You might choose to take physical damage for it or sell your soul for example. While not recommended, it can make for intresting storylines."

At the start of the battle i wil lroll 2d6 with the following results.<br/><br/>1-2: Critical Complication- the first three rounds go terrible bad for the unit(s). Perhaps a lucky shot damages your PPc, or pierces the armor and damages the engine or Gyro. Those who are familliar with the game system this is the equivelent of rolling a 2 on hit location(scoring a critcal hit). We wil lwork out the basics via PM before we start the battle(sort of like setting up a one on one). I'll leave it mostly up to you to decide the extent of the daamges, as long as they are serious, How serious is up to you, you might even decided to have yuor ride blown out from under you, though I don't expect that to happen very often.<br/><br/>3-4: Bad Start: The first few rounds go badly for you. no critical hits, but you take a few good solid ones, that severely deplete your armor.<br/><br/>5-8: Could go eitehr way: Both combatants take a few hits and deal a few hits. Damage wil lbe relatively minor at the end of three rounds.<br/>9-10: Bad start for the enemy: as #3-4 except reversed.<br/><br/>11-12: Critical Complication: As #1-2 except reversed.<br/><br/>Every three rounds I will make a new die roll.If you have roleplayed out some good tactics or stategy I will add in a modifier of ip to +/- 2. I will keep a rough track of damage dealt each turn and update the mech diagrams every three turns. It wil lbe up to you to keep track of heat build up, and use it in the rp accordingly, though I will also be monitoring this as well.

She had been soft spoken as usual, the quiet one in the lab coat and black plastic frame glasses, calculating behind a laptop or a row of glass test tubes. Ah, but by night, which it was, she was stalking around the roof of a building that was clearly marked off limits by certain government and corporate organizations. She flicked several switches on a handheld cortex, pressed a button, waited five seconds, and watched the fireworks. A building down the street exploded in flames as millions of tactfully and stealthily placed c4 cartridges went off at the same time. Sybil smirked. <em>Let's watch those android bastards get out of this one.</em> She knew none of them had survived. It was a matter of accurate calculations and perfect planning. Both of which Sybil had down to a T. <br/><br/>She had double majored in chemistry and engineering in college. Both of these majors were large accomplishments on their own, but Sybil was just something special to have managed them both. She had had little to no social life, and learned early on in her life that insomnia had its upsides. She had been hired by one of the top companies in the nation, hell, in the world, to help develop the most cutting edge technology. And the development of artificial intelligence owed its creation in large part to her. But somehow, only Sybil had seen the dangers of what they were doing. Didn't these people realize that if robots learned, acted like humans and pretended to be like humans, they could be the most terrible threat ever? Nomatter how much they looked like us, they would never be human. They would never feel as humans did and thus could never understand human emotion to a capacity for compassion. Well, sure, you could program compassion. But that was the point. It would be programmed. And a program could be removed. <br/><br/>No one seemed to imagine the possibilities of a bunch of sociopathic androids seeking the destruction of human life. There could have been an entire societal upheaval. The machines over man. And Sybil simply couldn't allow that. Not when she'd had such a large part in their creation. And so, as such things went, the Ace of Swords would also have a large part in their destruction, even if no one in the world knew. <br/><br/>She approached the scene of rubble, scanning her handiwork. She couldn't stay long, as the police would be along to examine what had happened. But before she left, she stopped and pulled a card from her blazer pocket with a gloved hand, and dropped it on the ground in front of the scene of burning wreckage before turning and abruptly walking away with an air of finality. <br/><br/>The Ace of Swords sat, her calling card, in front of all that ruin. </span>"

Humans, lycans, and other immortals of various types filled the dance floor. As the owner of Club Silver he had the charge of effecting his business in any manner he chose. However as a typical rule he let his underlings do that for him. He had far more important matters to deal with. So the dancers, bartenders, and various staff of his merely saw him as the guy who you never screw up around. Other than that he was rarely IN the club to bother them. Most of the time, He was above it. The club was 3 floors of a 5 story building. The first two floors were for the general public. The 3rd floor was for staff only. The 4th floor was for the various immortals who called this place home. And the 5th floor was where Adrian lived with his wife. All others entered only as ordered....or under the risk of death.<br/><br/>Rising from one of the VIP booths he walked to a dark corner where one of his immortal staff members had gotten his attention. He told him that another building had been blown up, and that the calling card that had been left behind fingered The Ace of Swords. He chuckled knowing very well who that was and merely waved him off. Ah wonderful, another discussion about blowing up his buildings. Those discussions had turned into a private joke.....shaking his head he looked over to one of the guests who was being not so gentlemanly with one of the dancers. He was gratified to see that his bouncers however quickly took care of that problem. Shaking his head he tugged at the collar of his opened silk shirt. This place was always too warm for him. He much preferred the cooler temperature of his home a few stories above. He sighed quietly and moved over to say goodnight to his more important guests. Before going up to his personal floor. <br/><br/>He had to pass several guards on the way, as getting to the 5th floor required one to ride on a staff only elevator, before getting to the private elevator reserved for immortals and the humans who served them. But not one of them asked for a ID card or even paused to scan him. They knew him by sight, and by feel. Their private residence was made up of four distinct rooms. The largest was of course the area they oft times entertained guests in. Living room if you will. The second largest was situated in the back corner and was the bedroom shared by himself and his wife. The next two rooms were both of equal size. One was his, the other hers. His was a training room, with weapons of all sorts on the walls. And hers was far beyond him. While smart he was nowhere near as smart as her. And he had conceded that a long time ago. With a chuckle he rid himself of the silk shirt and hung it in his closet....before grabbing a bo staff and starting a intricate form.....<br/><br/></span>"

She was smiling softly, admiring the way his muscles moved under his skin, and just looking at him with that look that people who are in love so often get. She was clearly lost on her husband, and she stood quietly for some time, watching him. She knew that he knew she was there, but Adrian didn't address her because he knew it was disconcerting to her that he could hear her heartbeat from the other side of the room. She cleared her throat softly to let him know it was okay to acknowledge her now. She smiled brightly at him as he reacted to the sound. </span>"

Heard her heart beat, the smell of her blood that he knew so well. He closed his eyes and forced himself to now think about the form. Not to break it from the distraction of random thinking rather than the orderly form he had beforehand been contemplating. <br/><br/>When she cleared her throat the vampire smiled and stopped his form.

As their lips parted, she grinned at Adrian, ""I'm sure you've heard, but did they tell you the death toll?"" She didn't wait for him to answer, ""Zero humans, and over three hundred fifty androids. Not to mention all the developmental technology."" She looked pleased with herself. This side of her, the wild side that only seemed to come out at night, was obviously the real side of Sybil, the side her husband had fallen in love with, the side she liked of herself the best. Not that her quiet and scholarly side was a facade, because it wasn't. Sybil was just as much the quiet girl in the glasses as she was the renegade Ace of Swords. But her husband rarely saw that side, and if Sybil had slipped into it, she was usually too busy to notice she'd done it herself. She wasn't in her black Kevlar jumpsuit anymore. She'd taken a shower, and was wearing a fuzzy pink bathrobe, her wet hair pulled back from her face. No makeup, no shoes, just a smile. </span>"

He typically liked a little forewarning when such things went down.

Already the talk about the place that had been attacked and the number of AI’s that was dead. Annika shook her head and began to pack her books on the shelf. So humans now realized the error of their ways and they wanted to fix what had gone wrong. They wanted to destroy what they had created, what they had put feelings inside of. Worthless bastards was what they were, they always wanted to destroy what they created. Tear apart things that were not under their control things that wanted to venture out on their own. <br/><br/>Damn stupid human pricks. They could never just leave something along; they always had to know why to tear down anyone that could be strong, smarter, better than they were. She wasn’t pleased; hell she was never happy when she heard about things like that. Just like the A.I. she and her race were different, what would happen to them if they suddenly went over the invisible line that these humans placed upon every other species but their own? Annika hadn’t noticed she was squeezing the book in her hand so hard that her nails burrowed a whole in the center of the book. <br/><br/><strong>“Damnit!” </strong><br/><br/>The book couldn’t be put on the shelf now, and so that was a sale that went down the drain. Annika let out a spew of colorful curses that was only a mere spec of what she was really feeling right now. She decided not to put anything else up in her current mood she wasn’t sure what would be put away from what wouldn’t. Grabbing the box of books she took them back into storage. Might as well lock up, it was late and everyone else had already gone home. There was no real need for her to stay around other than lately she had been lonely. She was always looking for reasons to linger, to stay around so that she didn’t have to go home. Home was becoming more and more of a space devoid of all emotion. Even the laughter that had once stained the walls were gone leaving behind nothing but the cold white walls that stared at her mocking her life. The walls reminded her that she had nothing to live for, her life had become desolate, restrained and without. Yes, her life was lacking and even her house mocked that. <br/><br/>With a growl that shook the box in her hand she dropped it on the floor in the storage room and grabbed her keys. She was going to go home and turn on the t.v. and the radio. That would block out the sound of everyday mock laughter from the walls. Clutching her keys in her hand she walked to the door, locked the store up behind her and went to her car. Sliding behind the driver’s seat of her small black sports car she took off and headed for the outskirts of the city where she lived. <br/><br/>She had moved out of the city to embrace the silence that now teased her. Annika drove through an overgrown area that seemed to go on forever, but the road ground before her opened with the push of a button on her key chain. The earth separated and she drove her car down into the ground. <br/><br/>There were some things about modern building she loved; her house was one of those things. Half of it was built under the ground while the other half was on the surface. The top half was a house and below was her hiding place. Sliding out of her car she turned the lights on and moved around the lower chambers. There didn’t seem to be any oddities, but she looked over everything just in case. When she was sure all was in place she closed the opening above her house and made her way towards the stairs that would lead her to the house above her head. <br/></span>"

Many has ventured before you, and many will after you, for the Caverns of Chaos is the ultimate place for adventure. Chaotic energies swirl across the place, ever changing it's halls and caves. Nothing stays the same for long, thus giving many adventurers the their ultimate experience, and they travel down through untouched caves, vanquish monsters and steal their treassure. Although the Caverns are more than just an easy walk, and those not carefull enough will quickly find themselves in trouble.<br/><br/><br/>This is supposed to be an original, D&D 3.5 edition dungeoncrawl, but with an evil erotic twist! The concept is quite simple really. You as a character will play under the D&D 3.5 rules, with a character level around 6. You go in ready for adventure, and... well anything can really happend. You might walk into the trap of a clan of Kobolds, have to fight yourself away from a raging beast, or be lucky and find some treassure to help you on your way. But since we're playing with rules(in opposite to freeform), you'll have a chanse to vanquish you'r foes. But beware, the Caverns of Chaos is malign at best!<br/><br/>I plan to set it up as a full game with it's own board, for the use of several players. You might even get to interact with each other, if you're lucky! Or one might just step in to save you'r sorry backside from certain doom! The game might be somewhat hard, and it will most certainly contain beastiality(with monsters or more), tentacles, bondage, hardcore and more. If someone has any special preference or dislike, you're of course free to come with them to me, and I'll do as much as I can to acomedate them without breaking away from the games original concept.<br/><br/>So who am I looking for? Anyone really, as it is in my personal opinion that you can play whoever and whatever you want, wheter it be the same or opposite sex of your real life. As long as you can do it realistically. You must be familiarised with D&D 3.5 rules and able to create a character. Then from there, you can play pretty much anything. Pretty much any class or race, but I'd like to hear the concept first before you start writing out a character sheet. Any gender works fine too. You might not think there's much for males to do, but, depending on alignment and concept of course, I can find a lot of fun things to do for those too! You can play any alignment, both naive good and twisted evil has a place in the caverns Tongue.<br/><br/>Post your character sheets here."

Her dark hair is cut short, but clean and well maintained, and her skin, while tanned and hardened from long hours of work, is still smooth and flawless. Her figure is difficult to make out beneath her platemail armor, but she acquires many interested parties when in town. Her piercing eyes are quick to see to a man's heart, and if she does not like what she sees, her wrath is sure and swift.<br/><br/>History: Born the daughter of minor nobles, they attempted to raise her as a lady with the arts of music and needlepoint. Despite their attempts, she preferred the music of battle and the art of swordplay. Even at a young age, she held her own against the boys, often through sheer determination. When her parents finally relented and enrolled her in a top-notch martial guild, she surprised them again by developing a devout streak. Swearing herself to Tyr, the Just God, Sarianna entered into the ranks of the Paladins.<br/><br/>However, she is far from the ideal paladin. She is aggressive and has a fairly short temper, enjoys drinking and sleeping around, and is fairly casual about her duties. Despite protests from higher members of the order to have her expelled, she has done nothing blatantly wrong, and is still kind, caring, and compassionate, especially towards children. During her free time, she works at the orphanage, and routinely donates to charity. So far, she's managed to keep her temper in line, or at least only pointed towards minions of evil.<br/><br/>Until recently, anyway.

this is a bit much let me know and I'll trim it down.<br/><br/>Character Name:  Michael Ryan<br/>Player Name:  Seereous<br/>DOB/Age:  01 January 3036/31 Earth Standard Years<br/>Hair:  Blonde<br/>Eyes:  Gray<br/>Height: 6'2""<br/>Weight: 205 lbs<br/>Homeworld:  New Avalon, Federated Suns, Federated Commonwealth<br/>Rank/Position:  Commanding Officer, Seraphim (Dark Angels Special Operations/Battlesuit Unit)<br/><br/>Physical Description:<br/>Michael is a tall man, standing over six feet tall and weighing in at a bit over 200 pounds.  His hair is blonde and is cut fashionably, staying as far away from the restrictive and tell tale sign of the military cut.  The gray of his eyes looks like rolling storm clouds.  Years of the infantry man's life has left him with a barell chest, broad strong shoulders and a narrow waist.  His legs are long and muscled, a bit thick in the thighs from the years of training for Battlesuit combat.  His calves are heart shaped from years of flexing to activate the jump jets of his power armor.  He has chisled chin and jaw, and a slightly crooked, oft broken nose.  Crow's feet etch the corners of his eyes from squinting into the sun or from peering through a rifle scope.  He is very rarely seen without a blade on his person.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Michael was born to Elayne and Dorian Ryan, lawyers that served as investigators and inspectors for the Mecenary Review and Bonding Commission (MRBC).  3036 was the year that Maximillian Laio died and the year that Romano Laio took the Celestial Throne.  Also in that year the St. Ives Compact Seceeded from the Capellan Confederation and the Free Rasslhague Republic was born.  These events provided for many contracts to mercenary units throughout the Inner Sphere, and his parents traveled with those units to ensure that they lived up to their end of the bargan.  For the most part, Michael's father did the field work and his mother ran the home office on New Avalon, the planet of Michael's birth.  As Michael grew older, he would travel with his father on his assigments, as long as they weren't in hostile territory.  This all changed when the Clans attacked.<br/>During the Clan Invasion, the need for mercenaries only grew, and the Ryan's work load did nothing but grow, causing Ryan's mother to take to the field as well.  Michael was 14 at this time and whichever parent was the one that had the less dangerous of the jobs that is the parent that Michael lived with.  This meant that Michael bascially grew up among mercenary units throughout the Inner Sphere.  Even when Michael was with his parents he was most often among the 'Techs and non combatants, though he would occasionally break away and spend time with the merc scouts.  They were a small family within a bigger whole, and that appealed to the young teenager.  For the most part, the scouts tolerated the you man's presence, some finding it amusing that the son of the MRBC watchdog was hanging around with them, others fed his curiousity, teaching him some survival skills and how to read the flow of the terrain.<br/>When Michael came of age, he decided that he wanted to join the military, which his parents at first refused.  Elayne realized that her son would do what he had to do, so she worked a few favors and was able to get him into the New Avalon College of Miltary Science.  Michael once again was on the planet of his birth and his mother had returned to the home office while his father continued on being a field worker.  Michael excelled at his studies and graduated first in his class at the academy.  From the academy he went to Officer Candidate School (OCS) and earned his commission before going into the Armored Infantry.  Michael earned yet another meritorious promotion from his advanced training, some heralding him a ristar in the ranks of the infantry, not a glamorous existance in modern warfare which was still ruled by the BattleMech.<br/>Michael's life soon made a drastic change.  He was approached by the Federated Commonwealth miltary for acceptance into their Special/Covert Operations units.  Michael made it through his training and served a tour of duty as an operative, training and executing missions that the average person would only dream about through the vid screens and holo flicks.  Michael also grew disenchanted with the whole Covert Ops life, especially the higher ups using his skills just to further political ends.  Michael understood the need form Covert Operations in security for the homeland, but he grew to hate the polotics of it all.  So much that he resigned his commission and left the service and became a freelance consultant.  Michael worked jobs here and there, working up a good reputation for being reliable and getting the job done.  This reputation brought about another life changing event, the Dark Angels.<br/>Michael was contracted by the Dark Angels commander to train a team of commandos for Special Operations.  Michael did just that, training those handpicked men and women in stealth, survival, tracking, marksmanship, demolitions and all other facets of the operative life.  Michael also trained them in battlesuit combat, both in inflitration operations and anit-Mech tactics.  Years passed and at the end of Michael's contract he was offered command of his trained commandos.  He readily accepted the offer and assumed command of the Seraphim.<br/><br/>Skills:<br/>Michael is a skilled bladesman and is rarely seen without a blade on his person.  He is also a survival instructor for the Dark Angels, whether they are infantry, MechWarriors, Aerospace Pilots or whatever their occupation in the Angels is.   Michael is well versed in piloting Battlesuits, using the suit as if it were a second skin."

Descended from a noble family of eastern European origin, Armina possesses palish skin and wavy, thick, dark-brown hair. She has a very attractive and expressive face and her dark green eyes often seem to easily betray her emotions.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Armina was born as the eldest daughter of the Farkas clan, a minor noble family from the continent of Kasnov on New Olympia. She grew up somewhat spoiled by her father who doted on her and she in return loved him dearly. While she grew up her mother gave birth to four other children, two more daughters and the last pair, boys. Her father spent a large amount of time with her as Armina showed little interest in more traditional girl’s activities, becoming very much a tom-boy.<br/>Armina was an above average student as a child but showed more interest and aptitude for martial pursuits, eschewing her girlie toys for those given to the boys. Even in school she preferred to play sports rather than sit and watch the boys play, and her inclinations did not go unnoticed.<br/>She entered military school when she was eligible (and after a nice payment by her father) and excelled. During her time at the academy she made a rival of a boy who was the same age as her, but from a slightly more important noble family from the continent of New Greenland. The rivalry became heated when Armina became a dorm leader, elected by her fellow classmates, and he did not. After that, what had once been a playful attempt to out-do one another became an antagonistic and often out and out hostile attempt to discredit one another.<br/>Armina graduated military school at the top of her class and her father used what influence he could muster (and some sizeable bribes) to enroll Armina in the Allison Mechwarrior Institute on her homeworld of New Olympia. There she quickly advanced her skills as a Mechwarrior, distinguishing herself even as her former rival from the military school followed her to the Institute (entered as a favor to his father, an MP in parliament). The pair of rivals both rose to command positions over their fellow cadets but Armina won their contests more often than not.<br/>After graduation, Armina received a commission as a Lieutenant in the Marik Guards and was deployed along the Free World’s border with the Lyran Commonwealth. During her tour of duty, she led a lande during a raid on a Lyran supply base, and acquitting herself quite nicely during her first real taste of combat. Some weeks after the raid, her nemesis was transferred into her unit, and, his father having pulled strings to get the placement, ensured his rank was just above her own. After months of strain between the two, things came toa head after a dinner function which both attended near the end of her service. Her rival became drunk and cornered her in an empty room during the party. He tried to force himself upon her, only to be severly injured as the quite sober Armina taught him a valuable lesson in where to keep his hands. After the incident, Armina was charged with assaulting an officer and though acquitted by a military tribunal was so sickened by the politicking refused to re-enlist in the guards when her term expired.<br/>Armina returned home for a short time before leaving again as a member of the November Novas a small mercenary outfit formed by a friend of her father’s. She piloted a medium mech in the unit and again served as a lance commander and trainer for some of the warriors that were even less experienced or talented than her. She participated in a single raid with the company, which, though successful (and which netted her the Griffin which she pilots today) cost the unit serious casualties and led to the disbanding of the mercenary outfit.<br/>Possessing her own mech, Armina found the Dark Angels looking for talented mechwarriors and Armina quickly joined their ranks.<br/><br/><br/>Major Skills: Mech piloting, mech weapons (laser, ballistic, missile), sensor ops, military history, five languages (english, greek, romanian, japanese, spanish), martial arts - military, rifles, military history, Free Worlds League Protocol, computers, first aid, and mech tactics.<br/>"

Until he feels worthy to wear those again, they remain in a small laquered wooden box in his quarters. At his waist he wears a wakizashi, indication of his status as samurai.<br/><br/>History<br/>Yamamoto Tetsuo was born and raised samurai, heir to generations of samurai who had served the house of Kurita. Raised in duty and honour, he could do no less, and followed his ancestors into the military. Such was his performance at the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy that, coupled with his family name, he was granted a place in the prestigious 2nd Sword of Light regiment as soon as he had qualified for it, serving a tour in the 14th Sun Zhang Cadre and then just over four years in the 21st Galedon Regulars.<br/><br/>His strict adherence to the code of bushido though, learned through his family and reinforced by his time in the 21st, led him to some clashes with his commander. Though not serious enough for any formal action to be deemed necessary, it has led to bad blood between the two, which only grew over time.<br/><br/>His rise in the Second Sword was equally notable, right up until the war with the Ghost Bears. Ferocious fighting there saw the regiment reduced to some 23% of its full strength, losses in machines and warriors both. Though he distinguished himself in the fighting on Garstadt against the Ghost Bears 283rd Battle Cluster, gaining a battlefield promotion to Sho-sa (Major), his unit was virtually crippled, and his own mech (a Hatamoto-Chi) destroyed when its reactor blew.<br/><br/>Currently he has taken a 'leave of absense' while the unit is being rebuilt. He has secured an older mech, and joined up with a mercenary unit. His intent is to capture a mech worthy of the Sword before returning, to expunge what he sees as a personal dishonour.<br/><br/><br/>Major skills:<br/>Mech piloting and gunnery<br/>Speaks Japanese, English, Arabic and Swedenese<br/>Leadership and Administration<br/>Kuritan military martial arts"

everyone had heard the stories of glorious battles being waged on distant worlds, of kingdoms and empires rising and falling, entire civilizations being made or broken thanks to the efforts of mechanized soldiers pounding across torn and bloodied battlefields in the pursuit of eternal glory.  Most of her peers discounted these as merely good tales, but Isis took them to heart.  She wanted in.  She wanted the excitement, she wanted the challenge, she wanted the glory.  And what Isis Campbell wanted, she got.  Unlike everyone else she knew, she was willing to work for it.<br/><br/>She started ""going out with friends"" a lot sometime around her 19th birthday.  What she was really doing was visiting the local military base and flashing a few promising smiles at men if they'd offer her some time in the mech simulators.  It didn't take her long to figure out she sucked in straight out combat.  Slugging matches and long range bombardments were suicide for her.  She found her niche with the smaller mechs.  They were light and fast, and while they had practically no weapons, they had their uses.  They were excellent scouts, and Isis had a keen eye for spotting things most other soldiers missed.  She proved to have superb navigation skills, and she was devastating when used as a spotter for calling in fire from assault mechs.  She also learned to use her light weaponry with lethal efficiency.  All it took was a few kisses to get one of the small mech unit commanders to show her how to get around behind larger mechs and rip apart vital systems with surgical strikes.<br/><br/>Before she was 20, Isis Campbell had left earth.  No word to her parents.  She took her battered mech down to the local JumpShip Port and booked passage off world.  At her first stop, she spent her entire savings account repairing and refitting her Locust.  Two months later, ""Artemis"" was ready for action.  Isis signed on with a local militia force, and gained some minor, but crucial battlefield experience against local raider and would-be pirates.  Shortly after, a mercenary unit came through the area, and requested that ""representatives"" from the local militia join them in hunting down a Pirate cell in a neighboring system.  Isis volunteered to go, and scarcely ten hours after leaving the system, she was dropped from orbit into a bloodbath.  Her scouting unit - herself and five other small mechs - had been dropped in with a frontline unit by mistake, and instead of finding themselves well out of the battle and setting up spotter positions, they were thrust into a harrowing fire fight.  Three of her companions - including her unit commander - were destroyed almost instantly, and Isis did what she did best: she *moved.*  When the foray was over, Isis had accounted for two kills - both against larger mechs - and she had teamed up with another mech and assisted with two more kills.<br/><br/>When the mercenary unit pulled out, they left Isis and her once again battered ""Artemis"" behind, saying that she could use her payout to buy transportation back home.  Instead, she used it to refit ""Artemis"".  A short time later, she picked up with a merc unit called the Dark Angels.  She's looking forward to seeing action again, but has made very clear that she refuses to fight ""slugging matches,"" as she calls them.<br/><br/>While she's nothing but guts and tenacity born of a strong desire not to get killed on the battlefield, Isis is very much a fun loving person off the field.  She enjoys partying hard, especially at places like nightclubs or military lounges.  One of her favorite pass times is teasing the local clientèle; she can be very seductive when she wants to be, but she's all words and very little action.  The most anyone's ever gotten from her are a few breath-taking kisses.  No one has been ""challenging enough"" to actually get her into bed.  But for Isis, that's ok.  Teasing people and playing with their minds - and hormones - is most of the fun...<br/><br/><strong>Major Skills</strong>:<br/>Mech piloting and gunnery<br/>Navigation<br/>Spotting (calling indirect fire from assault mechs against unseen targets)<br/>Battlefield repairs (jury-rigging, small mechs only)<br/>Athletics<br/>Seduction<br/>Marksmanship<br/><br/><strong>Minor Skills</strong>:<br/>Infiltration (hey, most guys will let a pretty girl in if she smiles just right... right?)"

The rest of her features are delicate and pretty, from her pouty mouth to slender waist and dainty feet.

The MacTaggart's are what could be described as 'landed' mercenaries, mercenaries with long standing ties to House Steiner, or more appropriately, the Federation of Skye, but they are still mecenaries. Their ties date back to final days of the Star League, when one Captain Jennifer MacTaggart (keeping the MacTaggart name through marriages is tradition), a test pilot at the Hesperus II facilities decided to stay in the Inner Sphere along with so many other<em>Atlas</em>pilots, in hopes of bettering her station through her powerful mech. It worked.<br/>Kate herself was raised into this warrior houseold, despite being essentially a member of the minor nobility, to take over the frontline duties of the head of the household. She trained from a young age, learning to fire small arms and assist the house techs as they worked on the massive<em>Atlas</em>.<br/>After a hard fought battle, Kate's father wound up injured to the point where he could no longer serve on the front lines, and so he turned to<em>Atlas</em>over to her despite her young age, just shy of sixteen. Kate's father has since taken an instructors position at Sanglamore Academy on Skye, piloting an old<em>Crusader</em>mech his own father had captured on the field decades earlier.<br/>So it was that already in possession of her own assault mech, Kate was sent off to the Sanglamore Academy to formally study as a mechwarrior. It was standard fare; Kate did well, her outgoing nature and beauty helping her to get along with the other students, almost all from priveleged families such as her own. Kate made one important friend in the quartermasters office there, a supplier of booze when she was a student, and even more useful things now.<br/>After graduation, Kate took a contract with the Skye Rangers, filling out an assult company with her own mech. She negotiated for ammunition and a decent percentage of repairs so it wasn't the end of the world when the op when pear-shaped and there was an entire extra battalion of Snakes there. They fought their way free, the battalion sized raiding force of Skye Rangers had brought an assault company along and they sure proved their worth after some bumpy, but effective, redeployment by their<em>Union</em>dropship crew.<br/>After this battle, Kate decided to not replace the old Star League gauss rifle, and the last spare from her families secret stockpile had been used almost 20 years ago, instead installing an ultra-AC/20 (her father had already replaced the old SRM6 with a Streak model as soon as he'd been able to get his hands on one). Kate likes the increased firepower, feeling the ER large lasers and LRM20 are ample long range firepower. The massive, rapid firing autocannon is far more of a heat burden than the old gauss rifle, but since hardly anyone can stand up to it, it's hopefully worth it.<br/>Kate took a contract with another merc unit next, and it turned out to be a banner couple of years. They saw a lot of action, moved around quite a bit, and did quite well. In a lot of ways, it was like a roving party with a few battles breaking it up, the time of Kate's life with lots of hot sex and insane battles.*<br/><br/>*I'm thinking that unit could be the Dark Angels?

Orphaned at an early age, he lived almost his whole childhood on the streets, trying to make a living best he could. He discovered how to hot-wire hovercars at an early age, and made a living selling stolen cars and parts to the local gangs. He also proved a natural with the cards, giving him some money over now and then. He had some run ins with the law, but nothing to serious until he was 17, when he got charged with assault. The judge gave him a choice, enlist and turn his life around, or spend several years in a forced labour camp. Sebastian chose the former.<br/>Sebastian somehow managed to thrive at the bootcamp, a remarkable feat since he was neither disciplined or good at letting people tell him what to do. He found out that he was an excellent marksman, getting high scores at target practice.<br/>Sebastian eventually joined  the marines, and did several tours of duty. It all ended badly when he and his unit was airdropped on a planet under hostile invasion. His objectives was to find and secure the governor until reinforcments could break through enemy lines and come to their aid. They managed to find the goernor and his family, and holed up in an abandoned goverment building, but soon came under heavy attack by several enemy mechs. His unit fought bravely, but was ill equiped to deal with mechs and were almost cut down to a man. Only one man in ten were still alive when the friendly mechs managed to reach them.<br/>After that Sebastian was a broken man, and got sick leave as he dealt with his emotional trauma. During his rehabilitation he was approached by men working for a secret goverment agency. Apperantly they were looking for a man with military training and his sort of rough background. They recruited him for a secret mission, to infiltrate the Black Reavers pirate band, and get close to their leader, the Black Swan. After some training in things like basic psycology, interogation, acting and even seduction, he was set loose.<br/>After some months he managed to get into a position where he were recruited by the pirate band. Over the course of two years he got closer to the Black Swan, and eventually became her lover. When the goverment finally sprung their trap, Sebastian had been living with her long enough for him to feel really guilty when she and the rest of the band were dragged away in chains, even though they were pirates and killers.<br/>His guilty consious made sure it was his first and only job for the agency, wich he to this day still don't know the name of. He resigned his comission and traveled the galaxy for a couple of months, but quickly ran out of money. Desperate, he signed up for some work with a mercenary company, having dealt with most of the issues from when his old unit got decimated. His training as a marine and the skills he picked up while working under cover made sure he never lacked work, and eventually he signed on with the Angels' infantry.<br/><br/>Personality: Sebastian can be a fun guy to be around, but also has his darker moments. He can brood for days when he get into one of those moods. At other times he can be friendly, but has a sharp and sarcastic tongue. He has a roguish streak a mile long, and isn't the most disciplined of soldiers. He is a good soldier though, and always does his best to carry out his orders.<br/>Sebastian loathes mech jocks above else, partially because of his upbringing, and partially because of the masacre of his unit. He thinks of mech jockeys as stuck up, inbred, blue blooded rich boys/girls who has been born with a silver spoon in their mouthes, who have done nothing to deserve the honor they've been given. Sebastian conveniently ignores the fact that this no longer always is the case.<br/><br/>Appearance: Medium length, with an athletic build, but doesn't look very bulky. He has a goatee and the face of a poet, his sensitive eyes seemingly out of place considering his profession. He picked up alot of quirks during his time with the pirates, and kind of looks like a certain popular fictional pirate captain.<br/><br/>Important skills: Firearms, jump packs, martial arts, interogation, acting, demolitions, security systems, seduction, gambling, first aid, infiltration, electronics, mech piloting, sensor operations, mech weaponry (Sebastian is a natural behind the controls of a mech, but has very little experience, and all of it simulated).<br/>"

Thanks to her years at the academy and her love for what she does, her body holds the muscles of someone who can handle themselves, without making her looking anything but feminine. Her hair has always been kept long, sweeping around her in crimson locks that pass her waist, though her hair is usually kept back in a French braid, or up in a pony tail or bun. The color of her hair perfectly accents the slightly tanned color of her skin, and easily matches the bright, sparkling green shine of her eyes. It’s not often that she is dressed too casually, as she’s usually either working, and therefore wearing a uniform of some sort, or doing some sort of nobility function, causing her to wear elegant gowns and the such. Her body is nearly flawless, though there are a few scars here and there, the most noticeable one, to those who are observant, being the thin line about her throat, where the bend in her neck is and her head starts, though what its from, only a few know.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Georgette was born to William and Aleria Stenson, nobles that were far from the highest, but also far from the lowest of rankings. Aleria was more than happy to stay at home with Georgette’s older brother when he was a child, though she died in labor when Georgette herself was born. That left her brother, who is nearly ten years older than Georgette, and their father to take care of a little girl. As could be expected, with only men to raise her, Georgette was quite the tomboy, and soon followed in the footsteps of her father and brother, who were both war heroes in their own right. But, despite her sometimes rough exterior when it came to her training, she retained all of her schooling in the ways of being a proper Lady, as with her mother dead, she is the Lady of the house, Duchess Stenson.<br/>Throughout her childhood, Georgette was somewhat sheltered from others, and was the victim of several kidnapping and assassination attempts. Recovering well from those, however, she grew more bold and beautiful each day, green eyes sparkling with intelligence. She used her past traumas to help guide her in her growth as a young woman, and to help her in her years at the academy. Excelling through school, it was easy to see that Georgette was a born leader, and born for combat. Perhaps it ran in the family…<br/>While attending the academy, Georgette was often a victim of tireless attempts by men to win her heart, or rather her body and money, as she blossomed into a beautiful woman with more than ample curves. But, her mind remained on her studies. That is, until she met the man that she thought she’d marry. The two dated for several years, even becoming engaged, though by the time Georgette graduated and moved on to her first unit, she stopped hearing from him. She was deeply hurt by this, of course, but doesn’t speak on it often, and she certainly doesn’t date anymore. Regardless of this, after graduation and OCS, Georgette was commissioned, and due to her… Abilities with Covert Operations, she was one of the few women to actually be actively recruited into a front line unit that would perform such operations. Pleased that she’d done so herself, without the aid of her father’s political and wartime sway, Georgette immersed herself in her work. Quickly moving through the missions and the ranks as she became more and more proficient, using both her battle mech, as well as going with a simple suit of thick armor and doing things ‘the dirty way’, by hand. As with anyone that lives a life as difficult as hers, she’s had certain changes in mind and soul, as well as body. But, she has again come out on top, receiving another honor. Already one of the few to serve in Covert Ops and do so well, Georgette was approached by her commanding officer, who happened to be an old friend of her fathers, and was told that she’d been invited to train with the Dark Angels. This of course surprised Georgette, but she was more than pleased, and eagerly accepted. Already quite astute in stealth, tracking, marksmanship and hand to hand combat, she was a quick study in her new training, and has recently just arrived at Outreach to join the ranks of the Seraphim, though she has no idea where she’ll fit into their ranking and their group, or how well she’ll be accepted into what is no doubt a tight-knit group.<br/><br/><br/>Skills:<br/>Georgette, unlike many of those that rely on technology, is surprisingly good at hand to hand combat. Along with that, her skills in tracking, stealth, and marksmanship make her a dangerous adversary. Along with her military skills, Georgette has a knack for politics, and while she may not agree with them, or like them, she’s a skilled negotiator and a perfect hostess/representative for her House. Georgette is very skilled with piloting Battlesuits, preferring her Valkyrie, having done a good deal of training throughout her young life. On a more personal note, Georgette is quite good at singing, and plays several instruments, as well as several sports."

The mountains, earning their name from the high source of marble stone found alongside them, provided all sorts of adventure and occupation. For the town of Reach, whom was propperly named after the untamed frontiers of these lands, earned their bread through the many untapped natural materials in the area, Marble quarries being one of the most popular ones. Reach was a large town for this frontier, quickly growing into what could become an expansionist area if all continued as it did. But it was not without it's own problems, of course. Some months ago, the masons found, and seemingly activated a series of magical caverns hidden inside the mountain. Monsters kept coming out of the caves to raid ever since. It did not take long for people, adventurer mainly to realise these caves were different. Their halls are ever changing, and thus earned the name, The Caverns of Chaos. Reach has now become a popular place for adventurers, more arriving each day. Lots of them head into the dungeon, some are never seen again, and some come back, empty handed or with treasures.<br/><br/>The Paladin, Serianna was quick to set off to the Marble Mountains to find the Caverns. After geting in trouble with a few other adventurers, whom had to suffer her zealos wrath, she quickly set off towards adventure, before she got herself in more trouble. And before she was thrown out. Adventure is often a common path for Paladins that needs to learn more, but little does she know of the dangers in the darkness of the mountains. And picking a fight with the few adventurers in town, Serianna is forced to continue her quest alone, without a group.<br/><br/>After a short while, and much cuting through the heavy underbush, she finds a path that leads into the mountain, close to it's base. These are probably one of the many untouched passages, judging by the undergrowth. But what she does not know, which is believed to be somewhat an exagerated rumor, is that it's very hard to find already spoiled places, since the caverns are ever changing. The path she finds is more leading into the foothills of the mountain, a dark and musky passage, hard packed dirt serving as floor. The passage is tight, and she will have to hunch a bit, as well as squeeze to get through with her bulky armour.<br/><br/>Will she uncover the mysteries of the Caverns of Chaos, or be a sacrifice to the darkness within?"

Even though she might struggle when she gets free, there's too many goblins holding her down. They roughly grab hold of equipment, armour and clothing, starts ripping and tossing thigs off her. They managed to remove her armour and most of her equipment without damaging it too much, but other can be said for her clothes and undergarment... The goblins takes any opertunity they can to grope her and pinch her, some even feeling her nether folds with their grubby little fingers.<br/><br/>After a short while, they back off to let the shaman forward again. He tosses a dagger to her side. ""You have great honour to sacrifice, in name of Yxiloth! Do it! Or you shall meet same fate!"" The shaman threatens. Here Natacias heart is tested, is she brave enough to sacrifice the elf girl, or will she meet the same fate? Surely the elf will die in either case, the question remains... will both die in here?"

The mountains, earning their name from the high source of marble stone found alongside them, provided all sorts of adventure and occupation. For the town of Reach, whom was propperly named after the untamed frontiers of these lands, earned their bread through the many untapped natural materials in the area, Marble quarries being one of the most popular ones. Reach was a large town for this frontier, quickly growing into what could become an expansionist area if all continued as it did. But it was not without it's own problems, of course. Some months ago, the masons found, and seemingly activated a series of magical caverns hidden inside the mountain. Monsters kept coming out of the caves to raid ever since. It did not take long for people, adventurer mainly to realise these caves were different. Their halls are ever changing, and thus earned the name, The Caverns of Chaos. Reach has now become a popular place for adventurers, more arriving each day. Lots of them head into the dungeon, some are never seen again, and some come back, empty handed or with treasures.<br/><br/>Valaqui, the brave rogue, was not used to this much traveling. City-life was a lot different than that of the untamed wilderness, and she nearly perished on her journey here, coming ill-prepared for the rough weather of these northlands.

Though her comptetors in the guild used her as a great oppertunity to rid themselves off the skilled, goody-hearted Thief that plagued them so. With snakish tongues, they tricked her to go, with the promise of great untapped treassure. Indeed, so eager was she to steal this all for herself, that she did not even stop to find more information about the place, completly unknowing of the dangers. It was a win-win situation for her enemies, as she would most likely not return. And if she did, they would make sure she encountered an accident. And her treassure ending up with them.<br/><br/>Her path had lead her through a chasm, at the base of the mountain, where she'd found her entrance to the caves. It looked like an old mineshaft, a dug passage that was roughly supported by beams. Whoever had dug this passage, did a sloppy work, but the cavern looked stable enough. With her heigtend vission, she could see far into the cave, it seemed to be leading inward, and then turning behind a corner further up.

Her hair hangs down in a silvery-white cascade over ageless, alabaster skin that ripples with muscle... as if chiseled from stone.<br/><br/>Though without the soft curves of shapely women, her body suggests femininity and grace despite its compact, powerful components. She rarely speaks, preferring to act... and act carefully.<br/><br/>Her ancestry hints at something... very unnatural. She avoids public encounters whenever possible, and her irises glint a vivid, blood red. Some think she is albino, but her skin is not translucent, it is like stone.<br/><br/>Tattooed stone, in fact... she's riddled with tribal designs in pale browns, reds, blues and blacks along her back, arms, stomach and breasts.<br/><br/>Upon first sighting Khait, one will surely notice her mount... perhaps her most obvious, dislikeable trait is her unorthodoxy for horses... she wears a saddle from the northeastern lands, and rides her mount-- a heavy-chested, haughty-striding horse-- rather than hitching a chariot to it.  She wears black and coppery breastplate and gear, a blazing eclipse on her black shield the only insignia.  A set of black and red feathers dangle like a plume from the base of her helmet, which seems to grip her face like a talon of metal."

Asiman was used to her silence.  And as she climbed silently onto his back and raised her lance, the horse remained as silent as death.<br/><br/>The bull calf still meandered, his behavior odd... he looked sickly, was trembling... or, at least, that's how it appeared from her vantage point.  Khait guided Asiman at a walk, watching... the bull calf was not alone.  Others of the herd were awake, shuffling about, rolling their necks and shaking their great, horned heads as if beset by flies... but there were no flies.<br/><br/>Steadying her lance, Khait rode lower, approached them... at the horse's scent, the stock began lowing... they were unused to the smell of war stock or race stock, so horses were as strange to them as the jackals.  A breeze stirred the feathers at the back of Khait's neck, and as she passed her eyes from beast to beast, riding into their ranks, her mouth went dry and her back stiff with anxiety... Were they diseased?  Mad?  There were no visible things that could torment them so... perhaps it was best that they all be slaughtered and burned.  She turned Asiman toward the village square, where she was told to report for reinforcements-- and stopped, her heels hovering just above Asiman's flanks.<br/><br/>One of the cattle had fallen-- the bull calf-- and lay upon its side, heaving air and spewing foamy saliva onto the cracked earth.  Its side rose and fell-- and then, she saw, bulged.  It bulged, it did not heave... something within was trying to escape.  She readied her spear, turned Asiman, watched for whatever evil this might be, and steeled herself against the urge to flee.<br/><br/>She had never run, and would not begin now.<br/><br/>The calf's flank burst like a rotten melon, and up spewed a column of black shapes like leaves, or beetles... locusts, she realized.  They flew up in a great, spiraling column, then tapered off... a second, then third column joined in, as other cattle ruptured their internal organs into the night and spewed locusts and plague beetles, puddles of maggots, or even baby adders onto the night ground.<br/><br/>Asiman backed hesitantly away... he didn't know how to fight this.  And Khait concurred... this was evil that eluded the lance.<br/><br/>Turning the steed, she urged him into a full-out run, and they-- rider and stallion-- tore through the dusty streets of the village to spread the news of what she had seen."

""Bad luck with the storm!"" Michael Lucas had to yell over the hammering thrum of the chopper's engine to be heard.

That all sounded well and good, but someone less prone to jargon may have simply called him her handler.<br/><br/>Lucas was a nice enough guy, for a bueracrat.

Then darker shapes on the tundra below became evident. Buildings, stretched out across the ice like microchips on a solid white board. They seemed weirdly out of place in this forsaken part of the world.<br/><br/>Then another darkness caught her attention. What she had first taken for a huge, round building was not a structure at all, but a massive hole in the ice. As the helicopter flew closer, she could see that one of the buildings ran right up against this chasm. Girders protruded from the wrent edge of the installation, showing where the rest of the building had ripped away, and gone down the hole as into a garbage disposal.<br/><br/>""I wonder if the others have arrived yet,"" Lucas yelled, still staring at the hole outside.<br/><br/>The helicopter was drawing in for a landing.

The parka didn't do anything to cover her legs either, not past mid-thigh, anyway. Probably made her look kind of funny, big puffy coat and then her long, lovely legs in the tight fitting super-suit designed for her by the Corps and the DoD.

Whatever they did, Trimarc made vast amounts of money doing it.<br/><br/>This particular Trimarc installation, however, was something of a mystery.

If there are any survivors, they won't last that long. So they put out the call, gathering some supers to go in fast. That's where you come in.""<br/><br/>Lucas smiled at her. Rachel could read much into that smile. It was a smile that saw the headlines, ""Marine Super Soldier Rescues Trapped Scientists."" That was just icing on the cake, though. Rescuing a group of Trimarc scientists would resonate heavily with the Pentagon and with Congress. Hell, if the politicians didn't fund the super soldier program after this, Trimarc would likely pick up the tab.<br/><br/>The chopper came in for a landing, jostling as it touched ground.

Rachel and Lucas followed, the wind howling around them.<br/><br/>Through the door and inside, the wind disappeared as the door was shut. Rachel instantly felt the warmth of the place.

She is quite gorgeous though, her mother was asian which gives reason for her small frame, but her father was italian which gives her a much more exotic look as her body fills out quite nicely. She has long dark curly hair which comes down to about the middle of her upper arm, which sets off her silver eyes quite nicely.<br/>Personality: Very shy, sweet, extremely intelligent, but also very frightened.<br/><br/>Background: Elyra was born in Kyoto, Japan under the care of her mother. Her father soon after had left and returned to italy where he had managed a company. He had only gone to Japan to be with Elyra's mother during the pregnancy, and left once she was born. This led to Elyra being a little bitter towards her father, because of the fact that he did not stick around for her own childhood. This left all sorts of emotional scars for her through her childhood, especially since she was of mixed nationality in a society that no longer accepted it.<br/><br/>Skills: Elyra got trained in the following things during her training with the Black Company: brawling, atletics, firearms, survival and stealth. She's not actually that good in any of it, but she know enough to get by. She can drive, but have never owned a car so she isn't that good. Her training as a doctor has helped her to read people's feelings and interpret them, but she can be a bit unaware of her suroundings at times. She has a solid education, her medical skill is excellent, and she has studied enough other subjects to know a thing or two about a lot of things. She can speak three languages fluently (Nipponese, Italian and English).<br/>She has learned a bit about hiding her true feelings and motives from others, if need be, but she's far from a good con-artist. She knows enough about fashion to know what looks good or not and what's stylish or not. She knows how to behave in most social situations and can avoid making a fool of herself. She is also a rather good public speaker, she has been forced to hold lectures now and then.<br/>She has citizenship in three countires (Nippon, Italy and Switzerland). She is also rather wealthy by now, and owns a house near the Aesulapian Order's headquarters in Basel.<br/>Vitakinetic skills:<br/><br/>Kirlian Eye: This techinque is ecually usefull for sizing up an opponent or for performing triage on a patient. It allows you to take a quick peek on a persons ""life field"", and if you manage to interpret it it could tell you a great deal about the persons physical, maybe even mental, health.<br/><br/>Detachment: This techinque was developed as a training exercise for new psions who were squeamish when faced with gross physical trauma. It alters the psion's own chemical flows slightly, suppressing her emotional responses. When in use, you can ignore the gag reflex and faintness you feel when you come in contact with gross things, perfect when you investigate a gruesome murder, for example. This techinque is the reason why Aesculapians have the reputation for being cold, clinical automatons, and some do use it more than what's healthy, leaving it on all the time.<br/><br/>Iatrosis:<br/><br/>Mending: The psion can heal minor damage, and even alliveate temporarily the pain and discomfort of more serious wounds. Good for healing scrapes and bruises, and stabilizing critical patients untill they can get proper care and stopping excessive bleeding. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Antitoxin: This power helps a patient (or the doctor herself) fight any toxin, fungus or virus introduced by an outside agent. The infusion of psi energy literally charges the patients immune system, helping it fight of any intruder. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Metamitosis: The psion can mend flesh and bone, focused psi energy encouraging rapid yet controlled cellular growth in the subject. Even the most grievously wounded individual may be healed in a matter of minutes at the hands of a skilled vitakinetic. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Mentatis:<br/><br/>Mind's Eye:<br/>Commonly used in psyciatric therapy, this allows the vitakinetic to  gain insight into what's troubling her patient. It seeks out the greatest source of psychological trauma, giving the psion a vision of it.<br/><br/>Passive Voice: By talking calmly to a subject, the psion moderates extremes of emotion, making it usefull for dealing with murderous rages, psycotic episodes and paralyzing fear. Someone affected by this power is forced into a state of calm, even if they wish to be angry. It doesn't make them more susceptible to suggestion, however. It is not mindcontrol in anyway, but can still stop an attacker in his tracks. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Algesis:<br/><br/>Inflame: While this power can't cause new wounds, it can make existing ones worse. Bandaged wounds might start bleeding again or might get infected. It can be used at a range of 4 meters, and you can use it on 7 people simultaneously! Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Contusion: The vitakinetic channels her psi to cause the target minor physical trauma. This damage manifests as a bloody nose or bruised muscle. It can be used at a distance of 21 meters, on up to 7 people simultaneously! Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Algesic Shield: This power was designed to protect the vitakinetic from algesis damage from other psi users. While active, a buffer of fluctuating psi energy helps the vitakinetic resist any physiological changes caused by the use of algesis. The vitakinetics were pleased to discover that it also offer some protection against some biokinetic and electrokinetic powers. It usually lasts a couple of minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Seizure: With this power you can trigger random disruptions in the target's brain. Impulses flare too quickly and neurotransmitter receptors jam, lapsing the subject into grand mal seizure, unable to do anything while it lasts. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Lacerate: The psion tear at a targets physical form with savage thrusts of psi energy, opening gashes or splinering bone. The sight of a bleeding wound opening up with no apperant reason can be a scary sight, and this power is quite painfull to fall victim to, it might even be lethal. It may be used at a range of 21 meters. Drains alot of psi each time it's used."

She is strong, nimble and atletic. She is an expert martial artist, both unarmed and with a weapon. She is perceptive and has experience as an investigator. If she wants to remain unseen she has a good chance of doing so. She had a service revolver as a Ministry Investigator, but rarely used it and is not what you would call a crackshot. She also can't drive, when she was young she rode a bike and after she joined the Ministry she was driven to the places she needed to go.<br/>She has some training in reading human emotion without using her telepathy, and she knows her way both through the criminal underworld and the world of fancy dinners and political powerplays. She is a very skilled interogator, and know how to intimidate someone into giving her what she wants. As she has sometimes been forced to take command of local military assets under one of her investigations, she is not a stranger to being in command. Her fashion knowledge is up to date even though she usually wears her Ministry uniform, and knows what to wear when she dresses as a civilian. She is good at hiding her true intentions and manipulating people into doing her wishes without resorting to her psi powers.<br/>Her real flaw is that of her academic education. The only thing the Chinese education system deemed necessary for her to know was some bureaucracy, you need that to get anything done in China. Her lingustic skills are limited to the Chinese languages and English. If she was to be dropped of in an hostile enviroment without food or equipment she would have a hard time surviving.<br/>She is a citizen of China, she has a powerfull mentor back there who could potentially help her out of trouble if needed. She has enough money to live a comfortable life, if not one in luxury. Her mentor has given her a unique sword of ancient Chinese style, combining the best of new and old.<br/><br/>Telepathic skills:<br/>Mindscan: This is a stepping stone to much greater abilities. The psion ""tunes"" her mind to to discover a specific individuals psionic resonance. This doesn't allow the telepath to gauge the target's exact location or distance (it gives her a general idea though). However, it does establish a mental link wich she can use to effect the target with her more potent abilities.<br/><br/>Pure Thought: The psion enters a state in wich a single thought or emotion dominates all others in her mind, making it difficult for someone trying to get information out of her to be successfull, no matter if they uses telepathy or not. The emotion she chooses must be something she is feeling at the moment though, she can't let it be a happy thought if she's angry or affraid for example.<br/><br/>Empathy: None! (no telepathicly induced orgies in the near future)<br/><br/>Mindshare:<br/><br/>The Babel Effect: Using low level telepathy the psion is able to understand, and express herself when she's interacting with a person in a language she doesn't know. It isn't always 100% effective, but is still a very usefull skill.<br/><br/>Mindspeak: Allows the psion to converse with a target using pure thought. This level of communication is very intimate, and can be unsettling to those not used to it, so it's common practice to ask permission first. Teng can use this at a distance of 6 kilometers. The power drains psi energy, but once activated it is active untill canceled.<br/><br/>Pilfer: The psion searches through a subjects memory to extract specific thoughts. This power has a small chance of being detected (even greater if the target is a psion), so many telepaths prefer using it while the subject sleeps. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Shared perception: The telepath and a chosen subject gains access to eachothers' sensory experience of the surrounding world. With consentration they can switch from one persons sensorium to the other and back, or they could access both sets of senses at the same time, wich can be confusing if one lets the sensory input overwhelm oneselve. I don't think I need to suggest naughty ways in wich this power can be used. :) Drains psi each time it's used, depending on how many persons are sharing eachothers senses.<br/><br/>Psychbending:<br/><br/>Willfinder: This simple power lets the telepath attune herself to another person and sense if he/she is under any sort of telepathic influence. If he/she is, there's not much you can do about it, at least not with this power. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Will control: The telepath transmits a mental command to a subject wich he/she is compelled to obey. Depending on how successfull the psion is, more complex orders can be given. If you barely manage to wrestle the subjects will into submission, you can maybe only make him do something subconsiously, like sneeze. If you totally dominate his will though, you can even make him cut of his own head. This power can be used over a distance of 60 meters, and lasts untill the command have been obeyed. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Mindshield: The psion can safeguard herself against telepathic intrusion, turning incomming telepathic attacks into harmless waves of psionoc energy. Because of Teng Rui's level of control, she can also protect others this way. Drains psi each time it's used.<br/><br/>Mindwarp: This power deals with creation, deletion and alteration of a subject's memories. A successfull use of this power can leave a subject changed quite drasticly from her original state. Depending on how complex the changes are, higher degrees of success might be needed. Drains alot of psi each time it's used and also takes alot of willpower to use, it is quite taxing.<br/><br/>Shagg's Folly: This power was named after one of the first psions, who was rumored to ""live 15 seconds into the future"". The power telepathicly reveals the immediate plans of all those surrounding the psion. The telepath may then act on this information, countering their actions before they even start carying them out.<br/>This power is rumored to have driven many telepaths mad, their minds scrambled by an influx of information at an incredible rate.<br/>Drains a massive amount of psi-energy, but lasts a long while<br/>"

Her physique is excellent, looking somewhat as an athlete with strong hard muscles as from a gymnast. She is highly dexterous and has a stamina as few others capable of physical feats that far surpass most people, both men and women.  She is rather good looking, with a long blond hair that fall down over her back reaching well past her shoulder blades.<br/>Problem is… she almost never uses her natural form except when unconscious or sleeping, most often her appearance shifts by her mood and sometimes without even noticing it herself.<br/><br/>Personality: To Jen she is an alien in her own body. She has no idea who she really is or how it comes that she can’t recall anything of substance of her own life. Even looking at her true reflection in the mirror doesn’t trigger any memory of recollection as she could have been standing looking at a stranger. This makes her very uncomfortable with herself, causing her to shift appearance almost constantly, often just smaller shifts but sometimes he changes sex just after entering another room.<br/>Jen is not what you would call a talkative person, she tries to keep to herself and her thoughts is her own (at least she think they are).<br/><br/>Jen is a physical powerhouse. She's pretty strong, and can take a lot of punishment, but above all she is agile, quick and nimble. She is very atletic and an excellent martial artist. She can also fight with a weapon, but is not as experienced with that. Who needs to be, when your body can become a weapon, right? She is quite stealthy, and due to her nimble fingers she's excellent with sleight of hand cons, and she has picked a pocket or two in her days. She knows how to drive, and is rather good, but it's mostly down to good reflexes, not experience.<br/>She is quite perceptive and are usually quite aware of her surroundings. She's good at surviving in the wild, and she has some skill when it comes to breaking and entering. She is rather lacking when it comes to the academic side, but suprisingly enough she do know some medicine, it probably has something to do with the Norca drug industry. She knows Portugese, Spanish and English.<br/>Not suprisingly, she is very good at intimidating people. She also knows alot about fashion, probably to make her infiltration missions easier. Or maybe she really likes it, who knows? She's rather good at hiding her intentions and manipulating people, and she knows how to behave in different settings. She's quite the little actor, able to switch between different roles at a moments notice. She also knows a bit about the criminal underworld.<br/>Unfortunatly, Jen is dirt poor. As far as she knows anyway, she might have a massive Swis bank account, but if she does, she'd have no way of accessing it. The Aeon Trinity has been paying her bills recently. She has been with them for awhile now, ever since she was found without any memories, and has built up something of a good reputation around the organisation. She is a real cipher, not a single electronic trail exists. She is the ultimate blank page.<br/><br/>Biokinetic skills:<br/>Biosense: This skill instills a keen sense of biological awareness in the psion. She percieves instinctively the presence of nearby living beings, be it plants, animals or even bioware that are within 7 meters of her.<br/><br/>Somatic Awareness: A psion using this power is fully in tune with her physical capabilities and limitations and can exceed them for brief periods of time. Humans typically has  pain and pleasure for feedback responses, wich can give general information about her condition. Somatic Awareness gives her precise feedback, allowing the psion to know the full extent of her condition, how injured she is for example. She can, to a limited extent, ignore the debilitating effects of injuries, disease, drugs and alcohol. The psion may also boost either her strength, dexterity or stamina for a short while with a fierce adrenaline rush. It lasts a short while, and when it wears off the psion is quite tired.<br/><br/>Adaption:<br/><br/>Metabolic Efficency: This power allows the psion to ignore the effect of poisons or toxins. Her body processes these foreign influences automatically and  removes them from the bloodstream with astounding efficency.<br/><br/>Oxygen Absorption: The psion's body adjusts itself to make use of any amount of oxygen available. The psion can breathe under water, on hostile worlds, with a plastic bag over her head- anywhere as long as her body can absorb even the slightest amount of oxygen. Drains psi power each hour it's used.<br/><br/>Heightened Reflexes: The psion's reactions are lightning quick. To onlookers it looks like she knows what is going to happen before it occurs. The psion has two options available to her: either she can act first, being faster than anyone else, or she can do twice as many things, hitting twice as many people for example. :) She can switch between these options with ease.<br/><br/>Biosynch: The psion can modify her biology to exist comfortably in different physical enviroments. She can survive extreme preasures, gravity and temperatures, and even breathe toxic atmospheres for short periods of time. Lasts for at least 7 hours, but drains alot of psi.<br/><br/>Psychomorphing: None!<br/><br/>Transmogrify:<br/><br/>Gross Manipulation: This allows the psion to make temporary adjustments to her body. They aren't subtle, and are usually intended as quick offensive or defensive measures, like turning her skin into a rock hard shell or turning her nails into talons. This only lasts a short time though, and each use draines psi.<br/><br/>Molding: The shifter can stretch and hape her body to extend her reach or to fit into narrow spaces. No prison bars can hold her! :) Drains psi.<br/><br/>Transformation: The psion can change her appearance in significant ways, changing her eye, skin and hair color, fingerprints, height, build, even the voice. Skilled Norca can imitate amother person perfectly or even change sex! The changes must still be within human limits though, but lasts indefinetly, untill she chooses to change back.<br/>Drains psi.<br/><br/>Body sculpt: This power allows the shifter to change her body in amazing ways. Want leopard spottet skin, sharp bone spurs coming out the elbows and a prehensile tail? Done. Wings and a turtle like shell? Sure, why not. A couple of extra arms? Knock yourself out. This power allows the psion to get creative, and most amazingly of all, a mass into psi energy and a psi energy into mass conversion allows her to drasticly change size, though there are limits. She should also be carefull so she won't get mistaken for an Aberrant and get shot. This drains alot of psi for every modification she does, but lasts until she cancels it.<br/>"

Height; 5 feet, 6 inches, weight; 125 pounds (give or take). Long, straight, ashe blonde hair (color appears to be altered from a darker shade) and dark brown eyes.<br/><br/>Personality: Despite the fact she grew up on researxh units all her life, she has never had the notion to rebel. She has a strong interest in the technology Orgotek is developing and takes on quite a professional edge when it comes to work. Though from some personal opinions the young woman may seem rather uptight at times. Never the shy type though, she's very open with her own opinions and thoughts.<br/><br/>History: Veronica Abel is the daughter and only child of Doctors David and Lisa Abel, two former self employeed researchers studying the Earth's state after the onslaught of battles and those that caused it. They had theories about the breaking stability of the planet after the continued abuse it took from the wars.<br/><br/>Apparently the two stumbled on something and caught the eyes of Orgotek, seeming to prove more impressive then a threat they were brought aboard the team. At that time Veronica was seventeen and spent the rest of her years with her parents on an Orgotek housing facility. A much better place to live after living in a mobile unit all your life. Once her four year contract with Orgotek came to a close she stayed on to aid her parents in their new research. Any and all information relating to such research has been named classified.<br/><br/>Skills: Veronica is without a doubt the one in the team most nervous about eventual combat missions, even though her Electrokinetic powers are almost as good in a fight as the Legion powers. Apart from a few selfdefence classes back when she still worked for Orgotek, the 10 week Trinity training is her only contact with weapons and combat. She is now an ok shot, nothing more. She has learned the basics of stealth, and is rather atletic, being at least able to complete the obstacle courses in a satisfactory amount of time. She is a rather good driver, and also has some basic pilot training from back when she was involved in the Orgotek Biofighter program. Not the best pilot in the world, she can at least avoid crashing as long as no one is shooting at her. She is pretty perceptive, and her sientific way of thinking makes her a rather good investigator. She really shines when it comes to the academic side of the fence. She's really good with both general academics, like history, politics and law, but she is also very good with science. She is however a natural when it comes to engineering, it is really her calling in life. Show her a broken piece of technology, be it hard tech or bio tech and the odds are she will be able to put it back together. Being a child of the FSA, she also know some bureaucracy. She has no wilderness survival skills whatsoever though.<br/>When it comes to social interactions she is at a loss though. Having spent much of her life in the labs have made her clueless when it comes to etiquette and such, and she isn't much of a public speaker. She also wears her emotions on her sleeve, not being able to hide her feelings or oppinions for long. She is somewhat aware of what is ok to wear or not, so she hasn't appeared to a fancy dinner in a lab coat...yet.<br/>Veronica has one of the most powerfull personal computers on the market, with two state of the art agent programs. She is also quite wealthy, actually owning some real estate in both FSA and on the moon, of all places.<br/>When it comes to raw psi power, Veronica is without a doubt one of the strongest psions there is.<br/><br/>Electrokinesis skills:<br/><br/>Static Burst: Allows the psion to generate a small, unfocused electric charge. It can shock a person or even scramble the operating system of a computer momentarily.<br/><br/>Electrocosm: Allows the psion to sense the general strength and nature of the electricity, magnetism and light in her general vicinity.<br/><br/>Electromanipulation:<br/><br/>Stun: Creates a bioelectrical surge in the target's nervous system. It can be used on people, animals and even biotech. It doesn't actually cause any damage, but is more than capable of overwhelming the target for a short while. Veronica's level of control makes her able to use it on 10 target's simultaneously, as long as they are within 5 meters of her. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Disruption: This power causes the target's existing bioelectric energy to fire at random, shorting out voluntary muscle control. It's not usually strong enough to kill, but still hurts as hell. This power drains psi. Veronica's level of control makes her able to use it on 10 target's simultaneously, and can be used at a range of 50 meters. Emperor Palpatine, eat your heart out.<br/><br/>Static Shield: Brings up a low-level field of ambient energy around the psion. The field protects her from electricity, electromanipulation powers, tasers and even scaning devices directed at her. Drains psi, but last 300 minutes.<br/><br/>Control: This potent power allows the psion to take control over another organism. This require alot of finesse, the psion regulates voluntary nerve impulses, causing them to fire (or not) as she desires. The tek can enthrall virtually any organism that has basic synaptic relays (wich bio tech has). The target remains in control over her mental faculties however, making her a fully aware prisoner in her own body. A psion keeps full control over her powers though, wich could turn it into a psionic tug-o-war. Veronica's level of control makes her able to use it on 5 target's simultaneously. She won't be able to do much more than concentrate though, having 5 persons as puppets on strings takes alot of brainpower. The control usually doesn't last that long, since it is very taxing for the psion, but it's usually enough to really mess up a target's plans. It can be used at a range of 100 meters, and drains alot of psi, and even a great deal of willpower.<br/><br/>Feedback: The electrokinetic assaults the target with a massive dose of bioelectric energy generated by the target's own synapses. This power is as lethal as it gets, and can only be used at one target at the time. It drains a massive amount of psi energy and also some willpower. It can be used at a range of 300 meters.<br/><br/>Photokinesis:<br/><br/>Control Illumination: The ability to manipulate visible light is usually the first skill an electrokinetic learns. The power may be used to adjust an area's light intensity or to create a focused beam. In a dark areas, increasing the light makes the light enough for normal viewing again, and a decrease would turn it pitch black, no one being able to see a thing. A bright area may be turned up to a blinding setting, or dialed down to more comfortable levels. The power can also be used to create a light beam like the one from a halogen torch, and it must eminate from a certain point of the psions choosing (like the palm of her hand).<br/><br/>Technokinesis:<br/><br/>Power surge: The psion can short out critical systems in a hard-tech device and render it useless by applying electrical surges and magnetic bursts. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Interface: The psion may interface with a device with an electronic operating system and making it obey her commands. A magnetic lock can be opened and a security system made to shut itself off. A beverage machine can even be made to give her a free drink. Veronica's limited level of control only makes her able to issue one word commands however (on, off, open, close for example). When she gets better at technokinesis she'll be able to issue more complex commands. This power drains psi.<br/>"

She can also use melee weapons with great results. She is a crack shot, and stealthy enough to get into a good position before raining fire on the enemy. She is a good driver, both with vehicles and Vargs (Vacuum Assault Rig, big powered armors that are more walking vehicles than armor really). She is also a good fighter pilot, experienced with both hard-tech fighters and Orgotek biofighters. She is also capable to make her way across wilderness on foot, both able to survive and negotiate rough terrain.<br/>She is quite perceptive with a good chance of spotting an ambush. When it comes to academics she's hopelessly lost. She is rather carismatic despite the fact that she doesn't really know all the unspoken rules you need to know when you move in more sofisticated circles, and if her team mates don't want her to show up at a fancy dinner dressed in combat fatigues they better help her pick out a dress, she knows nothing of fashion. She do know a thing or two about command though, and she is a decent public speaker, something she picked up while lecturing new recruits during her sick leave from active duty.<br/>She has some savings in the bank, but is not that well off. She still has agood relationship with the Legion, in fact she's just on an extended leave of absense while she works for the Trinity, the Legion will welcome her back with open arms once she decides it's time.<br/>Fleur's pride and joy is her personal BioVarg, an Orgotek Mongoose. While only a three meter tall scout Varg, it is still a marvel of modern bio-tech, and is a formidable war machine.<br/><br/>Psychokinesis skills:<br/><br/>Temperature control: It's hard for a psychokinetic to resist exerting her power even slightly over her surroundings. The psion adjusts the temperature of her surroundings almost reflexivetly to a range she finds comfortable or that reflects her current mood. This technique is harmless to all but the most sensitive devices, but anyone near the psion will certanly feel the temperature change.<br/><br/>Molecular sense:  The psion gains an heightened awareness by measuring air currents and nearby structures. It allows her to measure air preasure, and thereby test a starships hull integrity or gauge tomorrows weather. By touching an object, the psion can detect empty spaces within it, or estimate the thickness of a wall or container.<br/><br/>Cryokinesis:<br/><br/>Thermal screen: By drawing in ambient heat, the psion can shield herself from the worst effects of exposure, cold damage and even cryogenic attacks. This effect can make her surroundings even colder as she absorbs more and more heat energy. The effect drains psi, but lasts for a good long while.<br/><br/>Hypothermic blast: The psion focuses a quick blast of supercooled air at the target. The sudden freezing effect visibly frosts the air between psion and subject, and can slow the target's metabolism and even cause frostbite. It has a range of 80 meters, and effect 8 people at the same time. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Flash freeze: The psion slows the motion of free liquids, freezing them to solids in the space of seconds. This effect can be used on such high-temperature liquids as boiling water or molten metal, although the hotter they are the more challenging it becomes. This power does not effect living beings or other complex organisms. This power could also be used for less direct effects, such as condensing and freezing surrounding water vapor (a psion could fill her drink with ice and dehumidify the room at the same time). This power draines psi when used.<br/><br/>Heat sink: The psion can extinguish open fires with a glance. She psionicly halts the fire's molecular motion, cooling even red-hot ember. A skilled psion could snuff out a bonfire in an instant. Not even warm ashes remains. This power drains alot of psi energy.<br/><br/>Cryofreeze: This effect is comparable to a liquid nitrogen bath. The psion could freeze flesh and blood as well as wood, plastic of metal into a brittle, supercold state. It can be used at a range of 240 meters, and drains a massive amount of psi when used.<br/><br/>Pyrokinesis: None!<br/><br/>Telekinesis:<br/><br/>Tow: The most general, imprecise version of TK, this power allows the psion to move an object around with her mind, but little else. You could for example pull a weapon towards you, but not aim it and shoot with it. You can lift 165 kilos at a range of 160 meters. You could lift up to 8 objects at the same time, but they may not weigh more than 165 kg together. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Remote Manipulation: The psion has enough control to use TK as a second pair of hands. You can perform actions remotly that would normaly require touch, like picking a pocket, or firing a weapon in someones holster (or even slap someone on the butt!). This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Force barrier: The psion can form an actuall wall of telekinetic force. It is an effective barrier against fast-moving attacks. You can create a roughly circular barrier with a radius of up to 8 meters. It may be set around you from a few centimeters up to five meters distant, and at your front, back, at a side, above or below, it can only cover one direction, you can't surround yourself with it. Once formed, the barrier stays set to that direction and moves with your character, but with concentration the psion can move the shield with a thought, from back to front for example. The field is invisible, and slows down or even stops fast moving objects, like bullets. This applies to the psion too, she can't shoot through her own barrier either. The barrier has no effect on gas or energy attacks though, lasers pass right through for example. The power drains alot of psi, but lasts a good long while, more than enough time to finish a battle for example. She can lose her shield if something manages to make her lose her concentration though, like a blow to the head."
8735,[Aeon Trinity: Earth Defense Force Six] Charcters,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=9251.0,"16-03-2007, 16:19:01",Swedish Steel,"Name: Maude Bristol (Brittlby)<br/><br/>Physical Appearance:<br/><br/>Dirty blonde tresses frame Maude's face in a well maintained and conservative shoulder length cut. Ms. Bristol gives the impression of one who regularly heads to the salon every week and a half whether she needs a trim or not.  Most often she wears it tied back in a simple pony-tail to keep it out of her eyes.<br/><br/>To speak of her hazel eyes, Maude hides them behind a pair of thick lensed glasses. While they have the capacity for warmth, it's unusual that one will see any emotion in her calculating gaze. Rail thin, she's a woman composed entirely of hard angles. Chiseled features and toned muscles give her the look of someone who engages in moderate exercise on a regular basis. Maude would appear to be built for speed and flexibility rather then strength, however this is decidedly misleading. Maude is viciously strong for her size, coupling her understanding of physics and leverage with british military fisticuffs.<br/><br/>Ms. Bristol favors dark green wool-blend suits and matching olive business skirts. She does NOT dress down for any occasion, though occasionally one will catch her with her coat off, revealing her yellow silk blouse. She is meticulous in keeping her hands concealed at all-times beneath white gloves, and is also rarely seen without her olive longcoat.<br/><br/>An oddity that many note is the thin turtleneck of a body suit that she seems to wear under her clothing. Cream in hue with a pleather sheen to the material, it's familiar to ISRA psions of the the upper levels. An ""Environmental Barrier"", the ISRA hyper sensatives wear them to help them function in the abrasive and loud world most people are able to tune out.<br/><br/>Personality:<br/><br/>Without morality to hinder her rise through the ranks of the ISRA, Maude's natural physical abilities and psion powers are wielded without conscience. Something of an abberation amongst her peers, she has a certain cut throat tendancy and ruthless efficiency that is called upon reluctantly by her superiors.<br/><br/>Efficient, perceptive, and dangerous, she was apparently born without a conscience, and lives her life to further the cause of her father and the ISRA. That doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy her work however, and suffers from an almost childish form of sadism.<br/><br/>Maude is one skilled dame. She's fairly athletic, able to negotiate most obstacles, and she's a competent martial artist. She's a good shot, an ok driver and is fairly stealthy. She is an excellent pilot though, one of the best.<br/>Her perception seem almost inhuman sometimes, even when she's not using her psi abilities, and she's a damn fine investigator. She's a cunning linguist (you can choose two language families you've mastered, beside your native tongue). She's pretty good at reading human emotions, and also fairly good at intimidating them into giving her what she wants. She's a very snappy dresser, and also knows how to behave in most settings. She's good at playing her cards close to her chest, and can play a role if she need to. She has some knowledge of the criminal underworld. She's also a quite good commander, making her a fine team leader.<br/>Maude is rather well off, if not rich, and owns a small appartment in Olympus, Luna. She virtually has a contact in almost every human settlement, how she's managed to meet people from all these different places is an enigma.<br/><br/>Clairsentience:<br/><br/>The sight: The psion can see psi energy flowing through all things clearly. She can sense if an individual is a strong latent, gauge a fellow psion's strength, feel the magnitude of energy in an area or even detect an active psi power nearby. It can also be used to detect areas of strong Aberrant Taint. Noetic scientists believe that the taint's resonance somehow conflicts with psi, creating a ""blind spot"" in the subquantum energy flow. Detecting taint is harder than detecting psi though.<br/><br/>Empty the eye: This technique is used to filter out distractions to be able to concentrate on the task at hand.<br/><br/>Psychometry:<br/><br/>Psionic Echo: The psion can touch an object or person and sense what has come in contact with it in the past. An abandoned car might register that it was recently in contact with a person the psion is looking for, for example. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Insight: This power can be used to sense where a person or object has been; the psion get impressions of the places a subject has visited. These places either has importance to the subject or psion, or they won't register.<br/><br/>Psychonavigation:<br/><br/>Orientation: The psion can establish her location with this power, allowing her to sense the nearest familiar landmark. She won't know she's in the Mato Grosso, for example, but it will tell her she's 500 km north-north-west of São Paolo, a place she has visited. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Dowsing: Since everything, human or object, reconate with psi energy to some degree, the psion can try sensing a ""signature"" common to a certain kind of object or person. She can cast her senses in all directions until she finds an object or person of the type she's looking for. She has to have encountered the specific type of subject before for it to work. The power centers on the psion, but radiates out in every direction for 250 kilometers. This power drains psi.<br/><br/>Psi cloak: This powet allows the psion to cloak her presence in the ""psionic stream"", making her undetectable by any psionic power. She is in no way invisible though, normal senses can still detect her. This power drains psi and lasts for 50 minutes.<br/><br/>Farsensing: This power lets the psion extend her senses over vast distances, whether through the reaches of space or across a planet. It allows her to plot the best course from where she is to where she wants to go, and gives her a greater chance of success at avoiding obstacles along the way. This power has a range of 5 AU (astronomical units) and lasts for 5 days. This power was once cruicial in the exploration of space, allowing you to plot a course even through uncharted space. This power drains alot of psi.<br/><br/>Telesthesia:<br/><br/>Sense mastery: A Clear must be able to trust all her senses, or any one of them alone. This power allows the psion to compensate for the loss of one of her senses.<br/><br/>Active defense: This power allows the psion to predict an attacker's actions, giving her a few precious moments to get out of the way. The power drains psi, but lasts until the psion use another Clairsentience ability, or she can no longer keep her concentration.<br/><br/>Danger sense: The psion's spatial awareness makes her alert to imminent physical danger, such as an ambush or structurally unsound areas. The dangers must be physical, psionic attacks can not be foreseen. This power drains psi, but lasts a long time after being activated.<br/><br/>Sensory Projection: The psion is able to extend her awareness beyond normal human limits so she can sense things at extreme ranges. This power extends beyond physical barriers, and has at least a range of 50 meters. The power drains psi, but lasts for a long time.<br/>"

Terrible for you, and terrible for us. Listen closely to what I have to say, for our lives all depend on it.<br/><br/>Long ago, there was not seven gods, as we have now, but one. All the clans worshiped Arlest, a unknowable and corrupt Goddess. She demanded sacrifices of blood and spirit, haunting the dreams of her priests. Even when we provided these sacrifices, she twisted animals and men into monsters to plague us. She tortured our bodies into a sexual frenzy, and tormented our minds with her mad whispers.<br/><br/>The Spirits chafed under her rule, and charged the clan with overthrowing her. Seven heroes, bonded with the spirits of their clans, fought their way through her temple, through the spirit world, and into Arlest's sanctum. There, they smote the Goddess down. Before her existence was unraveled, Arlest brought a terrible curse on all clans of Man and Beasts. Every 500 years, a few of each race will bear her Mark on their bodies. They will grow lustful and perverse, drawing all those around them into madness and need. They bring grave misfortune into the world, and the only known way to stop them is death.<br/><br/>You, sadly, bear Arlest's Mark.<br/><br/>There is, however, a slim chance of hope. Have you heard of Shattered Relic? It was once a place of high learning, sorcery and martial arts before one of the Cursed appeared in the city. The sorcerers there worked hard on a cure, and, in a tribute to their genius, succeeded. They tried to use it on the Cursed one, but were driven into madness before it could be administered. The mad people of Shattered Relic twisted their homes, bodies and pets into a perverts dream. The town was quarantined by the Clans, and has been for many years.<br/><br/>But the cure still exists. Those with the sight can see it in their mind's eye. But there is exactly one, and there will be others out to purify themselves.<br/><br/>Now, you must gather your things and leave here. You can not come back until you are cursed no longer. Go, child, and may the Gods watch over you.</em><br/><br/>I am checking for interest in The Cursed, a light-hearted, competitive, anime-inspired game. Players take the roles of people suffering under a ancient curse. It slowly drives people around them insane with lust, and changes the weak-willed into monsters. Given time, the curse eventually corrupts the carrier, unless something is done about it. The Cursed are also immortal, to a degree. They can only be killed after a short, archaic ritual. Other than that, they regenerate from any injury.<br/><br/>The city of Shattered Relic and the creatures within, would not be trying to kill the characters anyway. Sure, some monsters or traps might attack the character so they can do evil things to her, but they won't kill them. It try to wear you down, applying penalties and bad status effects, while the character gets better armor and magic and experience to counter these. If you can keep going long enough to get the cure, then you win. If the penalties get so bad that you can no longer search, you lose, and succumb to the Curse.<br/><br/>All the while, the Curse will be inflicting it's own penalties. The Cursed can make other members of the Cursed gain penalties as well, though sex or special techniques (like spells or Jujitsu in Naruto). So the characters have every reason to try and make their rivals go mad, so they stop competing for the cure.<br/><br/>Also, I will be giving everyone a fair chance. I will only send the characters against things they can conceivable defeat (without taking penalties into account, of course). Keep in mind that most, if not all of you, are going to lose this game. There is only one cure, after all. Please keep this in mind and be a good sport.<br/><br/>There will be slight elements of pregnancy, bestiality, hentai weirdness, overwhelming lust, and LOTS of non-consensual. I will be mindful of Ons and Offs however (if a person wants monsters instead of animals, for instance, that's no problem). I will also take requests for specific challenges.<br/><br/>The system will be dice chucker. (http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/Dice_Chucker.php). Character Pool is 5, plus 1 sex-themed attribute, picked by the player."

There are more complicated rules that’ll come later in the special system, but you don’t need to worry about those, I can handle them if needed.<br/><br/>When faced with any challenge that you will need to roll for (fighting, outrunning someone, searching a room, whatever), just follow these simple steps.<br/><br/><i>Step One</i>: Roll 5 dice<br/><br/>You will always roll 5 dice (because your character pool is 5) unless there is some sort of modifier being applied.<br/><br/>Example: Lou rolls 5 dice to escape from the evil monster’s clutches. She rolls a 2, 2, 1, 4, 5<br/><br/><i>Step Two</i>: Take the highest dice equal to attribute being used<br/><br/>If you’re using kung-fu 2, you take the 2 highest dice and add them together. If you’re using Run The Hell Away 4 you take the 4 highest dice and add them together. This becomes your draft total, or just DT for short.<br/><br/>If you don’t have an applicable attribute, you must select the two LOWEST dice from your roll for your total.<br/><br/>Example: Lou has the attribute Escape Artist 3. So, she takes the 3 highest dice (4,5,2) and adds them together to get 11 (4+5+2=11). 11 is her draft total.<br/><br/><i>Step Three</i>: Compare total to Toughness Number (TN)<br/><br/>All tasks have a Toughness Number that you have to beat, usually ranging from 6-15. If your total is higher than the number, you succeed. Hooray! If your total is lower, you lose. Boo!<br/><br/>The more you beat the TN by, the better your success. There’s a chart on page 6 of the rules PDF, but you don’t have to look it up if you don’t want to.<br/><br/>Example: Lou just manages to beat the TN of 10 with her draft total of 11. She wiggles out of the monster’s grasp, and lands on the ground, right beside it. Of course, the monster is going to make another grab for her.<br/><br/><br/>And that’s it. That’s the basics of the Dice-Chucker system. Combat works pretty much the same, only there’s an initiative roll at the start, a few modifiers and more chart-looking, none of which you really need to worry about. It’s insanely difficult to cause lasting injury through violence to The Cursed anyways. All this will be covered in the Special Systems section, to come later.<br/>"

It determines how many dice you roll, how many attributes you get, and your hit points. It will only go down in hit-point loss, and even then regenerates quickly back to 5.<br/><br/><i>Step Two</i>: Pick attributes (10, +1 sexual-theme attribute or perk)<br/><br/>Attributes are the skills and abilities of the game. You can select just about any skill you can imagine, so long as it makes sense for the anime-fantasy genre. You have 10 points to spend on attributes, as well as a single point to spend on any sexual themed attribute or perk, of your choosing. No attribute can be higher than 5.<br/><br/>Example Attributes:<br/>A Combat Attribute: Just because fighting other Cursed is difficult, doesn’t mean the monsters can’t get a beat-down.<br/>Stamina: For toughing out exhaustion and poisons.<br/>Resist Magic: For shrugging off magical curses and direct effects (This won’t protect you from the Curse, however)<br/>Read Scroll: In Shattered Relic there are many magic scrolls that can give bonuses, penalties, hints, or even new attributes and perks. With this attribute you have a chance of seeing if the scroll does something good or something bad.<br/>Stealth: A fight avoided is a fight won.<br/>Acrobatics: Hooray for physics-defying anime stunts!<br/>Escape Artist: For when someone has a crush on you.<br/>Bluff: “Me? Cursed? Surely you must be joking.”<br/>Pick Locks: Most of the buildings are still locked. This covers magical as well as mundane locks.<br/>Navigation: Finding your way to the hospital, library, or through a dark cave can be really handy, sometimes.<br/>Search: To find important clues and traps.<br/>Rope tricks: Kinky!<br/><br/><i>Step Three</i>: Pick Quirks and Perks, if any<br/><br/>Quirks and Perks are the merit-and-flaw system of Dice-Chucker. Quirks are penalties that give you extra attribute points. Perks are similar to attributes, only they are for things that you don’t really need to roll. Like for breathing underwater, or for possessing a magic sword.<br/><br/>Attribute points can buy Perks on a 1 for 1 basis. Quirks give back attribute points also on a 1 for 1 basis. More information can be found on Page 3 of the PDF.<br/><br/>Example Perks<br/>Support Group (3): You have a group of people helping you out from afar. They may be friends, family, or mercenaries, but they’re still committed to helping you out. They provide information, supplies, and even pull you out of a rough spot now and then. But be careful they don’t get corrupted…<br/><br/>Map (2): You have in your possession a map of Shattered Relic. While it only shows the streets of the main city, you can find your way around much easier than those other fools.<br/><br/>Iron Will (Variable): You will not fall to the arrows of your enemies or their seductive touch. This perk adds extra Hit Points, 1 for every attribute point you put into perk. You lose these hit points first.<br/><br/>Flight (3): Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! You can fly about as fast as a bird. Much quicker, and much safer than wandering the streets.<br/><br/>Example Quirks<br/><br/>Vulnerable to Poison (3): Your immune system is weak. Maybe you hit the books instead of the gym, or maybe you got really sick as a kid. Either way, Poisons have double the effect on you.<br/><br/>Vulnerable to Magic (3): As above, only against magic. Does not affect the Curse.<br/><br/>Slow (2): You don’t really get that whole ‘running away’ thing. When you need speed, you’ll find you don’t have it.<br/><br/>Sensitive Spot (2): There’s a particular part of your body that’s sensitive to stimulation. Anyone who uses that in a sexual attack does twice the damage against you.<br/><br/><i>Step Four</i>: Pick equipment<br/><br/>There’s an equipment list on page 9 of the PDF. You can have any weapon or armor with a rating of 3 or lower. You can have any other non-magical equipment that you can reasonably carry. Trust me, it won’t help you much here.<br/><br/><i>Step Five</i>: Record Corruption Rate (10%)<br/><br/>Corruption rate is how quickly the curse corrupts the world around you (and at higher levels, your own body). A better explanation will be in ‘Special Systems’. It also serves as your chances of impregnation/being impregnated. It starts at 10%, and can never go any lower.<br/><br/>That’s all for the basics. You’re ready to start playing! Huzzah!<br/>"

They regenerate 2 hit points of physical damage per round. They also suffer no die penalty due to physical injury. They still feel the pain, but they can push it aside in moments of need.

As the goddess died, she threw the remains of her spiritual energies into the bloodlines of all races of Men and Beasts in the world. The energies eventually gathered strength, and manifested in a physical mark on a few select hosts. These became the Cursed.<br/><br/>The Mark typically shows up as a black rune on the host’s stomach, but it can appear anywhere on the body with any colour. As the host becomes more corrupt, the mark will pulse, glow, and even spread further across the victims’ body.<br/><br/>Being Cursed has some benefits. They are immortal, in the sense that they stop aging and cannot be killed by violence. They still feel pain, but have a much greater tolerance for it. They can die from starvation and thirst, but it can take months before they succumb to dehydration.<br/><br/>The downsides are clear. The Curse spread Arlest’s will across the world, twisting every person and object into a perverted version of itself.

The only known way to destroy a Cursed one is to strip them if their immortality through an old ritual, then plunge a dagger through their heart.<br/><br/><i>System</i><br/><br/>Every sunrise and sunset, the Curse will inflict a small penalty on the Characters.

Little help? :)<br/><br/>1. Simon is a good-hearted ork, well liked on the street, and tough as the proverbial nails. Summed up briefly, he's the classic two-fisted detective. Summed up in greater detail, he's a native born Seattle-ite who loves putting in time at the local bar and watching Urban Brawl on the trid. He's rather particular about being payed what he's worth, but his altruism outweighs his ambition, and he's taken on more than a few ""mercy"" jobs for locals and old friends. Chief among his problems is a cousin who's running a fairly brutal gang out of prison; for all that he tries to keep out of it, he keeps getting closer and closer to having to do something about his cousin, and going against family is always rough. Especially for orks.<br/><br/>2. Vickie is an absolute dork. She loves matrix surfing, gaming, catching up on the latest gossip, etc. She's nobody's hacker, though...just an exuberant user of the matrix. She makes her actual cash as a street sam, and is developing a (bad) reputation for pulling of flashy moves inspired by those damn action trids she's always watching. Thus far she's proven to have the watts to live up to the hype, but it's still a bit irritating for some people to have to listen to her go on about how cool that thing she just did was.<br/><br/>3. Asuka is an elven hermetic magician who moonlight's occasionally as a teaching assistant at a small university. Mostly, she works as magical backup for Shadowrunner teams, saving the money she makes to fund explorations/investigations of magical phenomena. She is bookish, drives a little scooter around, and tends to fade into the background at clubs and Mr. Johnson meets, if at all possible. She is reasonably professional, and is quite capable of self-defense, but she's not really a combat mage. Her area of expertise is magic, magical creatures, and investigation/missing persons retrieval.<br/><br/>"

I'm not shedding any tears for the death of dice pools, either.<br/><br/>I have noticed, in my experiments with the character generator, that the new system does force you to either be fairly average across the board, or very specialized. Then again, that's ""average"" by 3rd ed. standards, where any skill you meant to use had at least a rating of 4+. It's taking some adjustment on my part to figure out numbers, but like ZK said, this isn't really about that, per se....and to be honest, even from a numbers standpoint, as someone who may be GMing this in the near future...I like the fact that starting characters actually come out looking like, well...starting characters.

You end up with either a bunch of Japanese characters, or a bunch of guys with katanas who also speak Japanese (or both). I think it's the  strong prescence of Japanese Megacorps in the setting, as well as the similarities to the Gibson-style cyberpunk themes (which also dealt with an influx of Japanese corporate and cultural influence in America) inherent in mainstream cyberpunk. Add in the *actual* influx of (slightly out of date) Japanese pop culture in real-life America, and I think that explains it.<br/><br/><br/>Me, I just wanted a parent with a corp background, and I kinda picked Mitsuhama out of a hat. Mentally, I picture Mitsuhama as employing predominantly Japanese and Japanese-Americans. From there, I just described the character as what I'd expect a Japanese/Mexican mix to look like. In fact, if it really is that common in our play group...I'd rather change the character's ethnic background. I like to stand out from the crowd. Say...change the company to Saeder-Krupp, and have the character's dad be a corporate transplant from Germany?"

That's hot! Anyway the fighter or barbarian don't really add much no extra attacks, not much extra attack power and hit points are negligible disavantage once DD is met.<br/><br/>You miss the whole idea she is a performing bard that can fight not a mystical bard most of her spells are going to be for performing use, healing or protective like Protection from Evil with maybe a Suggestion spell or something. But with an SC od 22, Hit Points of 96 (rolled well on the d12 and have a good COn boost) and access to a long sword for a weapon likely magical I don't see the big problem in a fight. Bards are always BACK UP fighters anyway not tanks so nothing has changed even if she was just a bard I would fight assisting the others that are better at it. And I have the dragon senses so sneaking up and flanking her is going to be trickier. I did min/max in her concept. Not for overall combat efficiency but can hold her own.<br/><br/>"

She has a slightly freckled face and large, brown eyes that look so innocent, yet sparkle with mischief when she grins. Her cheeks form small dimples when she smiles, and her teeth and white and neat, usually hiding behind her pale pink lips in a closed smile.<br/><br/>She's not particularly tall, about the regular height for her age, same with her weight. Her breasts have more or less developed, she just wasn't particularly well endowed. They're each about a handful for her delicate hands, and don't need support. her nipples are large and dark brown, almost a shade of purple.<br/><br/>Lucille takes very good care of her nails, keeping them clipped and filed, and only occasionally painting them, going through special effort to make them very pretty when she does.<br/><br/>Her bottom is soft and pale, free of any blemishes when not marked by any punishment, however rare that may be. When exposed, her anus is small and cute, a pale pink like her lips. Her vulva was sprouting hair, but Lucille takes special care to keep it smooth and appealing. Everything remains concealed within its folds, not peeking out.<br/><br/>CLOTHING:<br/>During school hours, Lucille always makes sure to wear the school uniform: A short, pleated red skirt, a thin white cotton blouse, buttoned up, knee-high white socks, polished black shoes, and regulation white cotton knickers.<br/><br/>For gym, she once again wears what the school demands: dark green shorts that are barely longer than her undies, ankle socks, trainers and a white T-shirt.<br/><br/>At night, Lucille opts to wear just a short nightie and her panties, putting a dressing gown on when getting out of bed if it's cold. Finally, in her spare time she will often wear nice dresses and skirts, mostly so that if she's punished she won't have to pull tight jeans up over a sore bottom.<br/><br/>PERSONALITY:<br/>Lucille is a bit of a brat. She's been known to be cheeky, bordering on rude at times, and also has a habit of being lazy and showing signs of being a bit spoiled. However she's not really a bad person. She acts vain and shallow, but it's just a thing she does to amuse her friends. Generally, she cares for others, and enjoys helping her friends out.<br/><br/>(Couldn't really find a good non-anime picture for her, so just use your imaginations)"

She's a busty little woman though, rather curvy around the hips and bottom too. Her hair is a thick, wavy dark brown with a natural tint of red in it. It's not too long though, reaching just past her shoulders with short bangs in the front. Her eyes are a hazel color, turning from a dark green to even a light brown with hint of green at times. She a trendy dresser, her closet consisting of things more so bought at the Gap, Old Navy and even Belk. Nothing she wears is ever fancy nor is it ever out of date. She would easily enough be able to become a model. She almost never gets sick and has a ability to eat almost anything without risking food poisoning.<br/><br/>Attributes: Claire has a quick and witty mind. She is perceptive and has an eye of details more than others. But that is not to say that she is smarter than average… she just know how to use what she has. She has never really trained hard or been camping so her physical abilities are just as everyone else’s. She is charming and has learnt how to user her charm and looks to manipulate people into doing what she wants.<br/><br/>Skills:  Claire’s parents managed to send her of to collage first then to the university and she has managed to take a master degree. This has made her knowledgeable of the uses of computers, medicine, politics and general science. Her real strength lies within the subjects of Humanities.<br/>Because that her life so far has been very much leaned against reading and studying her skill in athletics and stealth is minimum. She does know how to defend herself in a fistfight. She is a fair driver.<br/>One thing that she really has picked up during her young years is how to get along with people. She is a good reader of others emotions, she know how to hold a speech, is an excellent persuader, knows herself around the social rules of big events and social gatherings and can lie her teethes out and get away with it. During the short time she has worked as a waitress she has learned who to contact if more shady things is to be solved.<br/>Claire’s parents left her a rather large trust fund that despite her long education she still has enough to live a comfortable life.<br/><br/><br/>Background: Claire comes from an Irish background, though the accent has thinned out completely over the years. From what she was told she was born in, Limerick, Ireland, but moved to the states soon after she was born. Since then she's lived a pretty normal life as a child into her young adulthood. The only thing worse noting bad is her terrible luck with the opposite sex, whether they are, whiney, obsessive, and plain out crazy or most of the time dead beats.<br/><br/>She got a job working at her parent’s pub, even given the position of manager over the service department. It's not a high paying employment but what she lacks in a paycheck she makes up with tips at the end of the night.<br/>"

She would easily enough be able to become a model.<br/><br/>Attributes: She is charming and knows the tricks of how people seduce, persuade and intimidates others which has given her a natural resistance for it. Aiyana is dexterious and has clearly more stamina then most, unfortionally her physical strength isn’t was it should be. Her mind is, for lacking a better word… very average.<br/><br/>Skills: During her search for her heritage she has given herself quite a head for study and more knowledge than she really thinks. She has learnt how to investigate places for clues and has begun to learn the occult way of the old days.<br/>She is athletic, always has been and it comes very natural for her. During her travels she has been forced to learn how to defend herself both with her hands and feet and whatever hand weapon she can get her fingers on. Aiyana if a fairly good driver, her real skill lies in her ability to survive on what the land can provide and to move silently. This is something she begun to learn as a child and she has continued to practice as she got older.<br/>She is a good shoulder to cry on, an excellent listener and has an ability to read emotions. With that she has become skilled in persuading and negotiates into the direction she wants. During her travels she has also picked up how and whom you should ask if you want to get something illegal done. But one thing she is really good at is to perform, to sing, dance and to tell stories. She really is an entertainer that is waiting to be discovered.<br/>Aiyana speaks Cherokee fluently but if you are a native in the language then she easily can hear that she has an accent. She always know where true north is, where that ability comes from is still her guess but it has saved her from becoming lost more than once. She isn’t very rich and what she owns easily fits in the car she drives. She also has her little black book, a book with a few names in the music industry. So far they haven’t been of much use but it always helps to have someone to contact as you never know what might happen if you know the right person.<br/><br/>Background: After 2 generations of ancestors trying to escape their ancestry, Aiyana (born Maria Aiyana Redding)  has tried to embrace it.  Her Great grandmother was full blood Cherokee, living in the Dakotas with her great grandfather, a member of the Sioux tribe.  Her grandfather, however, left the lands and married a woman of irish ancestory.  Still, Aiyana’s indian blood flowed strong within her.  Her parents had groomed her for a dull life, pushing her towards aspirations of college and a career, a husband and family, but Aiyana was having nothing of it.  She was a story teller, a singer of songs and weaver of tales.<br/><br/>She’d escaped the suburbs of Georgia when she was 18 and now, she lived her life as she pleased, driving across the states, playing small clubs, buskin on street corners for cash, selling her CDs and tapes from the trunk of her beat up Toyota.  All she owned, she could fit in a pair of suitcases and her guitar case.  And that was all she needed.  When she wasn’t trying to make ends meet with her music, she was searching through the back lands of America, teasing songs and stories from the locals.  New Orleans, El Paso, Corvallis… she’s lost track of the cities and towns she’d passed through.<br/><br/>Now, 6 years later, she was on the road again, beneath the open sky, headed for nowhere in particular…<br/>"

His hair is thick and wild, and so is his red beard, though he tries to keep it neatly trimmed. His eyes are light blue, almost grey.<br/><br/>History: Alistair was born the second son of Archibald Douglas, Laird of Craggenrock. Growing up in a big castle was interesting, but not quite as luxurious as one would think. As long as he could remember his familly had to struggle with their economy. Their holdings were wast, but the income from them allways seemed to be less than their expenses.<br/>Alistair grew up in the shadow of his older brother Robert. His relationship with his brother was warm, but neither of them seemed to be able to forget that Robert clearly was their fathers favorite. Argyle Douglas was not a cruel man, but seemed incapable of expressing his love for his children. What little he could manage allways seemed to be reserved for Robert. Luckily their mother Molly had plenty of love to spare.<br/>Alistair studdied at Oxford, mainly litterature. He had a dream of becoming an actor, but not some vulgar Hollywood actor. No, it was the theater that called to him. His father didn't approve, of course, but by that time Alistair had already stopped caring what his father thought. After many years as a strugling, underpaid actor in London, Alistair finally had his dream within his grasp as he was accepted into the Royal Shakespear Company. His first role would be that of Laertes in Hamlet.<br/>For awhile he had his head stuck in the cloudes. He had the job he'd always dreamed of, but that wasn't all. The young actress who would be playing Ophelia, Rose, was also new and they soon found they got along really well. Soon they were involved in a passionate relationship, one they kept secret from the world. They didn't want people to talk at work, plus they were going to play brother and sister in the play, they didn't want to give the press the satisfaction.<br/>Everything took a turn for the worse as Alistair was bitten by a huge dog as he and Rose were taking a stroll in Hyde Park. When the Change came over Alistair he was at Rose's appartment, staying the night. As the full moon rose and the rage bubbled in his blood as he transformed for the first time, Rose panicked and ran. It ended in blood and tears of course, as it often do when a Rahu undergo his first change. Alistair found himself sitting on the floor of Rose's wrecked appartment, clutching her broken and bloody body in his arms as he howled at the moon in rage and sorrow at the unforgivable sin he had just comitted, tears running down his face. He managed to pull himself together and get out of there before the police arrived.<br/>The people he worked with was shocked by the senseless murder of Rose, of course, and wondered who would do such a thing to such a sweet girl. Alistair didn't wonder, he knew. When the police came and questioned them he told them nothing of what he knew, who would believe him? Due to the fact that no one ever had suspected that he and Rose were more than friends, Alistair never became a suspect. Her murder was never solved.<br/>Alistair went to her funeral, secretly both furious over the fact that he couldn't tell anyone how much she had ment to him, and guilty as sin over what he had done. It was his fault. He had no idea what was happening to him, but he did know that Rose would still be alive if she'd never had met him. Though he looked calm on the outside during the ceremony, his inner turmoil was mirrored by the weather as the sky split open and rain and lightning poured down. Somehow he found it fitting, why wouldn't the sky  weep and rage at such a tragedy?<br/>Within a few weeks of the funeral he recieved another blow. He recieved message from home, his brother Robert had been killed in a hunting accident. In less than a month Alistair had burried two people he loved. After his brothers funeral his mother begged him to move back home. His father was getting on in years and had handed over the responsibility of running the estate to Robert. With him gone they stood a great chance of losing their home. Alistair protested of course, but secretly he was desperate to get away from London and the ghost of Rose.<br/>Some years has passed, and Alistair is still struggling with both the estate and the guilt over what he did to Rose. He is now the Laird of Craggenrock and that often keeps him busy enough for him to forget his past. Often, but not always.<br/><br/>Gifts: Alistair is known to be able to deliver crushing blows that can shatter bone without difficulty as if he was armed with a sledge hammer and not his fists.<br/>He can also jump extremely far and has been seen jumping from roof top to roof top when pursuing a prey.<br/>Wind seems to obey his wishes and more than once has the wind come when he has called.<br/>He has also the power to call up fog that can obscure almost all sight. It has even been known that he seems to be able to command the fog to move in the direction he wishes.<br/>"

According to the guide the forecast promised that the weather would clear during the evening… or at the latest morning. The group contained of eight people five woman and three men. Two were American; Aiyana and Claire who neither had known the other before the trip and they were the only one that seemed not to fit into the group… or to be more precise, the group itself seemed to do its best to exclude the two. The other six was married couples that took almost every chance of leaving the two younger female behind, never really telling them anything. There was the Schmidts, the Eddings and the Browns, the Schmidts were from northern Germany and the other two came from southern Britain.<br/>This morning they had taken a refuge in a cabin that lay about one days march west of the castle itself.

She was born in Ireland but the tour she had won lead her here. It would have been nicer to explore her roots but any chance to escape the ordinary was good to her. Though if she'd known the people on the tour with them were going to be, for lack of a nicer word, jerks, she never would have come.<br/><br/>Honestly, she's dealt with nicer redneck drunks then these people. Nothing she did seemed to please their moods, every time she tried to smile they looked at her as if they were going to be sick. Pardon her, she may not be gorgeous but she knew she was hardly sickening to look at. The more time passed the more the idea of risking the weather became a most appealing option for her. She moved past the others, who parted like the red sea, towards a window to peek out. As far as she was concerned, a hurricane was better then staying with these twits all night. Well minus the other girl, she believed her name to be Aiyana. Claire was good with people, bad with names unless you were a regular drunk.<br/><br/>She wasn't sure if she was going to or not but she went about anyway slipping her jacket on followed by her green, bar logoed cap. Her eyes went back out the window, sparing a sympathetic glance towards the other girl who had been recieving the same treatment. A deep sigh escapes her lips as she debates roughing the weather to hopefully find sanctuary from the off stares and bitter whispers behind the back."

I told her I'd take one of the bikes out.""<br/>""I'd wish the blasted woman would keep me informed of these things,"" Archibald replied, getting quite worked up. Alistair sighed again.<br/>""I'm sure she did, it just slipped your mind.""<br/>""Don't be ridiculous, I would never forget a thing like that!"" Alistair's father had been quite forgetfull recently, and sometimes got quite confused. He was far to proud to admit it, of course. He also got alot of strange ideas these days, and Alistair spent alot of time trying to cover for his father after he'd went and done something illconcieved.<br/>""And look at the state of you!"" his father continued. ""You look like some...some...some biker! It is quite unacceptable, it really is. You are the Laird now, remember?""<br/>""Yes father,"" Alistair replied and rolled his eyes. No chance of me ever forgetting, you remind me all the time, he though. ""I actually wanted a word with you. Did you know I got the wine bill yesterday? I got quite a shock when I opened it, as you can imagine.""<br/>""Oh? I can't see why,"" his father replied defensivly, looking a little guilty, but mostly defiant.<br/>""You can't see why? You can't see why!?"" Alistair was starting to get worked up himself. Sometimes his father could get him so damn irritated he didn't know what to do. ""You know we are in a tough spot financially, and still you persist in ordering the finest wine and whiskey. I have to take everything we earned from those buisnessmen that came up here to hunt last week just to pay that bill. You know the bridge over the creek need to be renovated, the next rainstorm could wash it away and leave us stranded here!""<br/>""You won't have me drink that sewage you ordered the last time, over my dead body! We won't sacrifice quality, only the best is good enough for a Douglas!""<br/><br/>Molly Douglas looked out her bedroom window and down at the yard. Her husband and her son was yelling at eachother again, she could almost hear them through the glass. She sighed. It seemed almost impossible for them to get along these days, and it broke her heart, it really did. She sighed again and pulled back the curtain before returning to her painting.<br/><br/>Alistair and Archibald stared at eachother, both their faces red in anger. They would drop the matter for now, but it wouldn't be the last any of them heard of it. Archibald spoke first.<br/>""We will be getting more tourists today, I hear they will spend the night. Four couples I belive, one of them German, apperantly."" He almost spited as he said the last part, German tourists weren't popular around these parts.<br/>""Fine,"" Alistair said. ""I'll tell Duncan to shoot some rabbits. Just make sure you don't challange any of the Germans to a duel this time, it is getting quite tiresome. And don't mention the war."" Alistair started walking towards the lake. He could hear his father yell after him: ""And I expect you to dress as it fits a Scottish Laird!""<br/><br/>Alistair sighed as he looked out over Lochindorb. He could see the island with the ruins of Lochindorb Castle, also called the ""Wolf's Lair"". It had once been a favorite haunt of one of his ancestors, Alexander Stewart, the Earl of Buchan. He had been called the Wolf of Badenoch when he lived. Recent events had led Alistair to wonder if it were more to the nickname than he'd first though.<br/>Alistair loved Craggenrock and the land around it, Lochindorb and the picturesque village Craggen. The estate had some patches of woodland with great hunting opportunities, and some rivers and small lakes with some excellent fishing. It was what the Douglas familly lived on these days, luring rich city folks to come hunt and fish, dining with the Laird and his familly each evening, and spending each night in big, comforatble beds in one of the castle's many nice old rooms. They also accepted hikers and regular tourists when buisness was bad, as it often seemed these days. The area seemed to attract a freakish amount of thunderstorms these past couple of years. Luckily they mostly seemed to happen at night though, and actually added some mystique to the old castle. The villagers also whispered that a big, black wolf sometimes could be spotted at rainy nights, or days when the mist lay thick over the Dava Moor. Some said it was the ghost of the Wolf of Badenoch that walked again, but most said it was just the superstition of old men with too much to drink. There hadn't been a wolf in these parts for ages.<br/><br/><br/>(http://www.scotlandthemovie.com/movies/hphotos/ard9c.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/LochindorbCastle.JPG/800px-LochindorbCastle.JPG)"

Even the opressive atmosphere of the Federated States of America is unable to dampen the hope and optimism of the people working in the building. The first few floors follows 1920s styles, as a reminder of the organisations beginning. Each higher level shifts the style ahead another decade- Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Wright's early style, Le Corbussier's flat designs, Post Modern, New Millenium. The top floors, dedicated to Aeon's senior management, are influenced by natural and cultural styles found everywhere the Aeon operates- faux vistas (holographic ""windows"" that are lifelike enough to almost be able to trick you into believing that your house are actually sitting on the surface of the moon, or whatever view you'd like to look out on) of ocean-bottom volcanic labyrinths, African organic patterns, elaborate geometry emulating crystal habitats among Saturn's rings, those kind of things. The massive waiting room that you find yourselves in is created to give  the illusion that you are sitting in open space, with stars sparkling all around you. The reception desk and the comfortable leather sofas does spoil the illusuion a bit, but the view is still rather breath taking.<br/>You are waiting for a meeting with Conrad Archer, the director of Neptune division, wich pretty much makes him the head of the whole Trinity. You have just completed the 6 weeks of Proteus training that followed the 4 weeks of basic training everyone who joins the Aeon Trinity goes through. Basic training put you through a battery of physical and mental tests, and taught you some basic self defense and how to deal with various goverment agencies. The advanced Proteus training, however, focused on advanced close combat and weapons training. As far as the public knows, Proteus division takes care of Aeon's internal security, wich it does, but it is also a whole lot more. Your newly formed team will be one of many Proteus ""trouble shooting""  teams, and the faith of humanity rests in the hands of you and your colleagues. Or, at least, that's what the propaganda says.<br/>You haven't really goten the chance to get to know your new team mates yet, you have only had time for a brief meet and greet. You all did your 10 weeks of training in different facilities, so this is the first time you meet eachother. Elyra Akemi did her training in Barcelona, Teng Rui in Beijing,  Veronica Abel in São Paolo, Fleur Hitzon in Melbourne and Maude Bristol in Olympus, Luna. Jen Smith did her training here in Chicago, so she's the only one familiar with the place, though she has never been this far up in the Cube before. You are all wondering why an important man such as Conrad Archer would like to meet a rookie team fresh out of training.<br/>The cavernous waiting room is not very busy today. Appart from you and the receptionist, there are only two more people here. One man, sitting across from you, is reading and old fashioned news paper, you didn't even know you could get those anymore. He seems well dresses and still hasn't taken of his coat, though it's not buttoned. His face is obscured by the paper. Sitting next to him is something out of a Hollywood dream. She is blond and absolutly gorgeous, wearing a black, rather long but tight, skirt and a white blouse. She is also wearing an unbuttoned treanchcoat, and she has an old style hat on her head. In fact, you wouldn't be suprised if she had just stepped out of the movie set of ""Casablanca"", there's something quite old about the style of clothes she's wearing, they've been out of style for over a century, but on her they work. There's something...ageless about her, wich makes her even more intreaguing. She is busy looking through her purse, and pay as little attention to you as the man reading the paper."

Unless it was one of those often times she'd lose them by leaving them on top of her head, as good a memory as she had remembering her own things was quite the task. She was wearing a light grey pant suit, while it was somewhat form flattering it still screamed strictly business.

She was wearing a pair of black short-heeled pumps, the top hiddened partly by the length of her pants.<br/><br/>Her eyes often gazed between the man and woman in front of them, in her mind she thought them to possibly be holograms seeing how they were dressed in such old world fashion and reading a newspaper.

She didn't believe it was a conduct issue or perhaps something to do with a lack in performance. At least on her part, she was sure of that. She just hoped the career change was worth the pay cut, and why were the others called in all women?

She simply believed it was best to adhere as closely as possible to schedule, particularly in matters such as these. In the field it was expected that punctuality was up in the air, but for a simple matter of arriving for a business meeting, there was no excuse.

From the Qin produced sense suit she was wearing beneath her expensive olive Bellinger's business suit, to the ""prescription"" thick glasses she wore with the unusual green film coating the lenses. Both were devices utilized by the ISRA hyper-sensatives to dull their perceptions when involved in ""pedestrian"" activities.<br/><br/>Indeed, beneath the neckline of her body suit, not a jot of skin was exposed. She was the fastidious sort that bordered (or perhaps strayed into) obsessive compulsion, most everything about her clearly calculated. Even the length of her hair was taken into account, for the slight curve her short straight hair-cut took brushed against the nape of her collar rather then her exposed neck.

You would be hard pressed to guess his age, because even though his hair had started turning grey you could hardly spot any wrinkles in his face. He seemed vital, somehow even larger than life.<br/>After him followed a man you all recognize from the news, Conrad Archer of the Aeon Trinity, looking quite furious. You all wondered what could  have made him this mad, his nickname was after all ""the Great Stone Face"" because of his ability to remain calm in any situation. This must really be something out of the ordinary.<br/>""There is now way, I won't allow it!"" he yelled at the back of the mysterious man, the voice of the 75 year old filled with both anger and...desperation?<br/>""My dear boy,"" the man replied with an English accent, looking over his shoulder at Conrad while still walking towards the exit, ""what ever gave you the impression I was asking your permission? I am here today merely as courtesy, telling you Aeon chaps how it's going to be."" He had something of a sparkle in his eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, apperantly the old man's anger and frustration amused him.<br/>""You can't do this!"" Conrad continued. ""You know how delicate the situation is!""<br/>""Yes, I know,"" the man said, now with a serious look on his face as he finally turned around and faced the old man. ""And let's not forget, your track record isn't exactly stellar, is it?"" His eyes locked onto Conrad, who almost seemed to shrink under his gaze. It only lasted for a couple of seconds, and then the smile returned to his face as he turned around again and started walking towards the elevator, followed by the mysterious blonde on one side, and the man with the paper on the other. ""Be seeing you, Conrad!"" he shouted cheerfully without looking back. The man with the paper looked everyone in the room over one last time before he also turned and walked to the elevator. All of you couldn't help but notice that despite the serious look on his face, he has really nice eyes. Everyone except Maude, that is, who only see bottomless pits of Death staring back at her..."

It was expected that Fleur's respect wouldn't be won over by words alone, the Legionaires being the sort that prized actions above discourse. Maude could understand entirely as it was her view as well, but in an initial meeting there was little she could do. She'd give her a bit of time to warm up to the ISRA's way of speaking and doing things. Of course, after what Maude deem to be sufficient time had passed and she found that in her opinion she was DUE the Legion's respect or at least cooperation, and was shown discourtesy... she'd take that rank marker off Fleur's face the hard way and make her eat it.<br/><br/>In the meantime, Maude thought for certain they were going to be fast friends.<br/><br/>Of the others... she could feel the almost imperceptible sigh of the Orgotek, smelling the remnants of her last meal in the ""wind"" of the air conditioner. She had thought she would have the most in common with the Orgotek, as they were both business minded, Maude via habit and Veronica via her Order. But the sensative shook aside the clear feeling of disdain for the slight conflict. Those who had no vested interest in an argument could afford to be dismissive and so if the Orgotek was willing to let it slide, it seemed of little consequence.<br/><br/>Maude Bristol's smile never wavered, despite the chill that ran down her spine. She was in the habit of keeping her ISRA ""danger sense"" activated at all times, despite how it taxed her. The term danger sense had been appropriated from the funny pages, when more accurately it was simply a running of the numbers. She was good with numbers. When the space corps first formed there were those that argued running the numbers of how many worlds existed that had sustainable atmospheres and liquid water mathmatically PROVED that alien life existed. The accountants and statistics meister's always gritted their teeth at such a statement of fallicy, similiar to how the ISRA hated hearing people say they ""foretold the future"".<br/><br/>Mathmatics can be used to illustrate the likelihood of an event, but until the Qin first set foot on our planet, conclusive proof remained ellusive. In much the same way, she knew the man was dangerous in the same vague way that a civilian knew a loaded gun wasn't a toy. Though ""running the numbers"" Maude found she prefered someone point a loaded gun at her rather then being in the same room as this fellow. As that was the case, she stood and held out her hand. Maude tilted her head to the side at man with death in his eyes, the cheerful smile she favored untouched by the tingle in her spine. Indeed it was the sort of cast iron sincere grin that oozed good nature and confidence. She knew it did, because she practiced it in the mirror frequently, ""Maude Bristol, ISRA. Have a safe trip.""<br/><br/>She waited until he had boarded the elevator before turning to Archer, clearing her throat softly, ""Mr. Archer, would it be rude to ask on behalf of our Legionaire that we begin? We're all quite anxious to know what ever particulars you are at liberty to divulge, sir."""

Dr Archer might be a neutral, but he had worked around Psions for a long time now, he knew what to expect.<br/>""Yes, the assignment. Well, it might actually be something up your alley, Ms Bristol. You've had dealings with the Qin before, I believe?""<br/><br/>Ah, the Qin. Mysterious creatures from the far reaches of space.  In 2107, when Chinese deep space explorers with the aid of Uepo Wa Macho teleporters intercepted strange radio transmission during a mission, humanity was thrust head over heels into their first First Contact with an alien species. While both sides were suspitious and carefull at first, diplomatic relations were soon established and today the Qin is humanity's most important allies. They are masters of Biotech All their technology is grown, they have no hard tech whatsoever, and the concept fascinates them. No one really know what they look like, everytime they have a face to face meeting with a human they wear humanoid biosuits, wich appear to be modelled after humans.<br/>The Qin staff of their embassy on Luna were stranded when the Teleporting Order dissapeared in 2114. The Qin had not yet established warp flight, and relied on the Uepo Wa Macho just as much as humanity did. The Qin stranded in the Sol system have not recieved word from their homeplanet for over six years now. There were rumors circulating that the Qin, using their awsome knowledge in Biotech, assisted Orgotek and the UN in a project to design some sort of ship that could mimic the teleporting powers of the Upeo. These rumors were confirmed when the Colony, an Aberrant infamous from the Aberrant war, attacked a site on Luna were the ships were being built, destroying it utterly. Luckily, there were a secret second site in operation, and the project could continue with only minor delay. If everything went smoothly, humanity would soon be able to once again reach for the stars, and it could not have been done without the help of their Qin allies.<br/><br/>""There is this fellow, called An Ming Kang, who is a bit strange even by Qin standards."" Many Qin had adopted Chinese names in their dealings with humanity, since it was the Chinese they first encountered. Many have the tendancy to view Qin culture as an almost asian culture, since they share alot of things, like politness. It was however quite dangerous to assign human characteristics to such an alien culture.<br/>""Most Qin are quite curious and fascinated with human culture, and tries to learn as much as they can about it, even though they remain very secretive about their own culture. This fellow Ming has aquired a somewhat...strange fascination for us. To put it bluntly, he likes to study humanity at it's worst. A couple of months back he managed to elude his Aeon body guard detail and snuck of on his own. When we finally tracked him down we found him about to enter the Pit on Luna. You know, the place that quite possibly is the most dangerous place in the solar system, filled with pirates, murderers and criminals and such? Well, it's a good thing we got to him when we did, he would have stood a great chance of being killed had we allowed him to proceed."" Conrad got a tired expression on his face and sighed.<br/>""Well, I'm affraid the old chap has gone and done it again. His body guard detail lost track of him as he toured the Aesculapian clinic in Olympus, Luna. That was about 4 hours ago. Triton division speculates that he might be coming down here to Earth however. If he does, we'd very much like you to get him and bring him back home, before he gets seriously hurt or even killed.

He knew the manner and dress fashions of the French aristocracy as if he had been born with a silver crepe up his ass. But when he came to petition them for help during the american revolution, he came dressed in a coonskin cap and frontier ensemble. Playing the part of a ""rugged frontiersman"" was an extension of the idea of giving the audience what they wanted.<br/><br/>The Barnum effect... put simply, people believe what they want to. The Qin were not asian, but they knew enough about human or perhaps universal psychology to appear as they were expected to appear.<br/><br/>Personally Bristol didn't care what the Qin actually looked like under the suits. It didn't matter. She knew a secret even GREATER then that of their true form beneath the facade. They were people...<br/><br/>Aliens or not, they had their degenerates the same as humans. She'd experienced some first hand whose taste ran to unseemly acts with humans, their curiousity extending to the carnal knowledges or to the sadism that seemed so alien yet exciting to them. She'd be lying if she didn't admit sparing their too perfect body shells an admiring glance on occasion. But this An Ming Kang... was indeed a strange one. The Qin who she had known were infrequently so foolish or naive as to leave themselves exposed without escort.<br/><br/>Maude stopped wasting time on fancy and moved onto the particulars, ""Well Mr. Archer, I flatter myself to think I'm a skilled dowser, but ""The Earth"" is a bit larger then my usual range of vision. The question we need to ask is how would he travel. Clearly not via Qin ship, and they're not the sort of passersby that go unnoticed by humans. I would suspect the most likely course would be to stowaway on a freighter, if he was trying to avoid detection by his own people as well as other observers. Entry into and out of Olympus, Luna is religiously documented. We should be able to get a copy of the freighters and other non passenger vehicles he would be able to take. There's no guarantee he's left Luna yet unfortunately, but considering the Qin in general, I would suspect he would have already thought well in advance the matter of scheduling. I would say focus largely on those vehicles leaving within the first hour of his disappearance. Considering the time of day, I would expect it to be a short list which can be further shortened by removing any vessels containing hazardous or protected materials, considering the increased security such frigates would be under. Further... analyze the ports of call for the remaining vessels for the shittiest amongst them. If he's looking for a hellhole, then that's what we should look for as well.""<br/><br/>She paused in thought for a only a moment, ""running the numbers"" as she was fond of repeating, ""For a high probability of success, I'd need the ports of call that fall under those criteria, a picture of Kang, the frigate registration numbers so I can find them while onsite, and my equipment requisition."" Maude held up a gloved hand to the side of her face as if she were whispering to Archer from across the desk, though her voice was quite loud enough for anyone to hear, ""And I doubt it's likely, but... if you could get hold of something personal of his, that would make my job quite a bit easier."""

They had a reputation for being quick to fly off the handle, and the last thing Maude needed was to aggitate such a psion. ""You wish to establish your dominance, perhaps? There really is no need. Considering how very fragile I am, I am forced to defer, Legionaire. I'm no threat to you. So we'll agree to each do what we do best. If you feel I've overstepped my boundries, I apologize.""<br/><br/>Maude was beginning to feel sick, another occupational hazard of being a sensative. While it was a common ability amongst Psions to detect the application of other powers in their presence, Bristol suffered from simply being AROUND psionics. It was a static tingle that effected her with a number of responses, none particularly pleasant. And it made the other minor irritations she suffered all the worse for it. Her bodysuit felt stifling beneath her business ensemble, and the weight of her glasses atop her slender nose was crushing.<br/><br/>She removed them once more, risking the vertigo that accompanied the unleashing of her full sight. Maude closed one eye to momentarily dull the influx of imagery, adjusting by slow degrees to the sensory glut. It took a few moments before Maude was satisfied that she could speak, ""I wish for us to work together... it can't be said more plainly then that. I am aware we are all used to being guarded and are all used to being self-reliant. This is a rare opportunity Mr. Archer has given us, and I should very much like to remove ego from the equation. How can we work this out, Miss Fleur? You expressed impatience at the pace with which the meeting was progressing, yet now chastise me for attempting to move it along. I do not wish your displeasure, but I confess I do not know what it is you require. What is it you expect of me and your teammates that would serve to satisfy you?"""

He took the news about as badly as Armina had expected, and demanded she return to the service of Marik. That unfortunately was something she couldn't bring herself to do, at least not yet. She had tried her luck looking for a mercenary unit on New olympia that needed someone and would take her on, but that hadn't happened, and after a month her credits were running low. Father had decided that if Armina was going to defy his wishes she could survive on her own as well, and so she was allowed to stay at the family residence, but recieved no other assistance. Storage and maintenence of her Mech had been draining her purse and with just enough left, she made off for Outreach. If she couldn't find a unit to join there, well then she wasn't cut out for the mercenary life.<br/><br/>Armina waited impatiently for the doors to slide open which they did after a several second delay. The hall into which she stepped was full of others like her, and people looking for mechwarriors like her. She adjusted the Novas uniform she wore, a dark green jacket and matching pants with the Nova's emblem on the left sleeve. Over her breast pocket, her name, Farkas, was stitched into the jacket. Warily she looked around the room at the negotiations and boasting and other talk that went on, it was all a little intimidating to her.<br/><br/>Armina took a deep breath,<em>'Don't leap at the first offer you get, they need you more than you need them.'</em>she told herself.

In all the cities that he'd been in, none of them compared to Harlech. The capital of Outreach and the official home of Wolf's Dragoons was a place that you could find just about anything, if you knew where to look.<br/><br/>It had been a long trip back to Outreach. The Angel's last contract had been hard on everyone and it showed. It felt morbid when both of the Angel's DropShips landed on the tarmac and the only unit members to get off where Colonel Angel, Major MacTaggert and himself. He wondered if their DropShip was as lonely as his. He stayed on the second of the two Unions, the<em>Archangel's Fury</em>, with his infantry and armor.  The<em>Fury</em>also held many of the Angels dependents. He had spent a majority of his time back to Outreach in the company of grieving widows, spouses and children. Sleep had been lacking as well. He had nightmares of that last battle, and they woke him up every night, leaving him in a cold sweat and soaked sheets. In that last battle he remembered that enemy<em>Vindicator</em>sweeping the field with its PPC and lasters. His young men and women died in a blaze of man made lightning.<br/><br/>His right leg ached. He'd taken a high caliber round in the leg and it had snapped his femur. He could walk around, but he still walked with a pronounced limp. In the end, he'd kneecapped that<em>Vindicator</em>himself, watching as it tipped over onto its face. He remembered watching the pilot emerge from the felled Mech, wondering how right before Michael had double tapped him in the chest.<br/><br/>He looked over at his commander and the good Major. He had nothing but the utmost respect for both of them; their survival was a testament to their skill. He finally decided that he would leave the too ladies to their devices and go about his duties as the Angel's XO. As the Executive Officer of the unit he was responsible for the day to day administration of the Angles. Colonel Angel made the ultimate decision, but it was still his job to make sure the unit ran smoothly.<br/><br/>He looked over at the Colonel and said loud enough for the three of them to hear. ""Ma'am, I'm going to do a bit of scouting. If I find any drivers that I think will pass your screening, I'll send them to you.""<br/><br/>He nodded to the Colonel one last time. ""Ma'am.""<br/><br/>He then looked at the lovely Major MacTaggert and nodded to her as well. ""Major. Enjoy your sim time.""<br/><br/>He turned and walked away from the two ladies.<br/><br/>He knew how to read people, it was a big part of his training that only he and the Colonel new about. Everyone else in the Angels knew that he was a good officer, and when he went out people died. He left the final hiring of the MechWarriors to the Colonel. She knew what skills she wanted in her warriors better than he did.<br/><br/>He knew that infantry men would be easy enough to find, even the specialized ones that he had in mind for his reconstruction of the units infantry and armor section. What would take a while to find was the right people to carry out specialized missions. People that would be a good match for the ten crates that should be in storage as he walked around the main hiring hall, keeping an eye open for suitable candidates, some of which were already starting to eyeball him like chum in a shark tank."

""We don't want your kind around here, so why don't you head back where you came from, while you're still capable of walking.""<br/><br/>Tetsuos expression did not change, he just continued staring flatly at the man. ""Davion of some kind, by his accent."" he thought.<br/><br/>""Right,"" said the loudmouth, ""You asked for it."" His left hand reached out, grabing the collar of Tetsuos jacket. Tetsuo moved in a blur, his hand coming up to cover the one that held him, body twisting back and around. The loudmouth forgot what he was planning to say as his body jerked forwards.<br/><br/>No soon was it moving one way than its direction reversed, Tetsuo twisting the mans hand in a painfull wrist lock that sent him to his knees.<br/><br/>""Aargh! Get him off me."" the man roared, and two more stepped forwards from the crowd, one dropping his hand to a holstered pistol. He froze as the tip of a short sword hovered in front of his eyes, slowly raising his hands and stepping back.<br/><br/>Tetsuo turned his attention back to the man he held locked, sheathing his wakizashi. ""You would find it hard to pilot a mech if I were to shatter your arm."" he said, applying enough pressure to draw another roar of pain. ""Consider yourself fortunate, for the Dragon is mercifull."" He pivoted, driving a single knuckle strike into a pressure point in the mans arm, bringing another cry of pain. ""Feeling will come back to it in an hour or two. Use the time wisely, and reflect on this lesson.""<br/><br/>He left the man to the care of his two friends, and strode on through the crowd."

Her long, thick crimson hair was pulled back into a french braided bun, green eyes sparkling with intelligence as she looked about, her walk that of someone with confidence and experience, as well as grace. From the look of her body from how she fit her flight suit, she was in good shape, with no visible scars, though she was only visible from the neck up. If one were observant, they'd notice the light scar just under her chin, along her throat from ear to ear. But, as most people weren't that observant, she simply didn't care.<br/><br/>Her combat boots hardly made a sound on the ground as she moved, and while she was well aware of eyes on her as she moved, she had a mission on her mind. She'd brought her own Mech, which was safely stored away where others wouldn't mess with it, and she was looking for work. There were plenty of opportunities, but she was looking for a certain one. Stopping not far from the others, she tilted her head lightly, glancing about slowly. If anyone recognized her, no one had said anything yet, even though she knew she'd been all over the vid screens for most of her life.

Feel free to pose in if Georgette is with Kate, Tetsuo and Armina after all, okay? :)))<br/><br/>The lift is almost surprisingly large after the cramped and narrow corridors of the dropship interior, but then the elevators serve double duty when space is at such a premium and get used to take freight up to the living quarters as well. Even though a full complement of crew and combat personel, mechwarriors and fighter pilots, is only just over 30, they do need a fair bit of food and supplies for the long journeys through space.<br/><br/>Kate says nothing the entire the ride up, affecting her best imitation of a statue both physically and emotionally. She takes her duty seriously, as the last couple of years in the Angel's were good for her, until that last operation anyway. She wants to see the unit rebuilt, maybe some of the injured return to the unit in a year or however long it takes them to recover. And as Kate sees it, being second in command of the mech company is about like being an infantry NCO; her job is to enforce policy, and that means making sure her mechwarriors are well trained in Angels tactics, disciplined enough to know how to seperate the relaxed off-duty style the Dark Angels enjoyed from the professional demeanor and approach they take onto the battlefield, or even just other official functions, and that they are always ready for action at a moments notice.<br/><br/>When the elevator reaches the deck with the bunkroom, Kate leads her small group of prospective recruits out of the elevator and down a short corridor into the bunkroom. The bunkroom itself is everything it's been described as, tiny and cramped, and smelly from so many years of service with too many people sharing too small a space. It's set like a rectangle with the middle of the room filled in, bunks two high in every wall, drawers underneath them and the occasional vent trying desperately to circulate the stale air in the room.<br/><br/>""I think we've got a few unclaimed bunks together about mid way down."" Kate says as she takes the group to the left as they enter. ""The dropship crew uses the bunks on the right side, and these first two bunks here on the left are reserved for fighter pilots; we want them close to the door in case of trouble during transit. Ah, here we go. These two on left and then this one across, and I think that other top one next to it as well. Figure out which ones you want and then I'll show you where the galley and the pitiful excuse for a crew lounge are."""

One day, as the orcs were marshalling for a raid, an iron dragon appeared in the sky with a thunderclap.  The wings of the dragon did not flap, and it made a roaring noise like damned souls.  It had red, white and blue painted on its wings.<br/><br/>The ""dragon"" was flown by one Charles Motley, a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot.  Motley was a very religious man, a Southern Baptist, and he had been having an affair with a farmer's daughter.  The adultery had filled him with mortal fear of God's judgment, but he could not bring himself to end it.  So when he was flying and there was a thunderclap and it was suddenly twilight with hordes of green demons below, Motley pretty much figured his ticket had been punched and an Almighty God had sent him to H-E-double-hockey-sticks for his inequity.<br/><br/>Motley figured he had nothing to lose..his soul was forfeit, he was down to about a quarter-tank of fuel.  But he had a full magazine on the little fighter, so as the demons below watched he dove down and strafed the whole formation.  It was perhaps the earliest game of Doom ever played, and Motley was so lost in utter abject terror at his eternal fate to question how demons in Hell could be brought down by 50-caliber gunfire.  He brought down hundreds before he ran out of ammunition.<br/><br/>Then the airman angled the plane in low, and plowed into a thick crowd of demons, smashing dozens as his plane ground to a halt.  Bestial faces crowded 'round, and Motley pulled a grenade, lobbing it into a crowd of demons.  Pulled another one, kept his finger in the pin-hole.  Drew his .45, and began firing.  And, as he was finally run through with an orc's blade, the grenade fell from his hand, turning the plane into a ball of fire...<br/><br/>The battle with the Iron Dragon and its rider cost the lives of about a third of the orc's warriors.  The orcs figured the people of Palmatia, or humans elsewhere, had harnessed great magicks to use against the orcish race.  So they adopted a different strategy: subversion.  If they could not defeat the humans, they would be bred out...<br/><br/>A generation later, the god Kruumsh gave his reward...two soft, pale, tall human females.  They appeared near an orc encampment, wearing strange fabrics, brightly colored, with three large sigils on them.  They were at once taken, and bred...again and again...<br/><br/>(That's some backstory there...there have been other interactions between Earth and this world, but those will be brought out as time goes on)"

A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size.

Upon closer inspection, though few ever bother to get that close, he has a small pair of horns sprouting from just over his low brow. Although one might expect his eyes to be dull and simple, they are keen and constantly moving, searching for signs of movement, for something to be pounded into the ground.<br/><br/>Thud’s armor more resembles that of a drunken porcupine than anything else; sharp points extend in all directions, seemingly at random, often with small pieces of meat still dangling from them. He shows little regard for his own safety, or that of others, as he wades into battle; it is often advisable for his allies to give a wide berth, or else they may end up trampled or pinned to a wall as well."

My personal choice would be for each Lance commander to roll a die before battle, depending on the results the unit will start out either losing or winning. Then whenever a player or NPC does osmething that could alter the course of battle(for example uses an unexpected tactic that catches the opposing force offguard) then another roll would be needed to see if the tides of battle have changed. Using these dice rolls in conjunction with the info on weapons, and the mechs invovled the battle would be freeformed, until one side retreats, surenders, or is wiped .etc.<br/><br/>The easiest way to go would be to have each player roll for their attacks each round. This would be the best way to handle combat, but would mean waiting for everyone involved to post an action for the round. In order to keep the game running at a reasonable pace There would be a maximum of 3 days. If you miss a post for the round you get NPC'd by the GM that turn. If 3 days is too short then we can make it however many days is reasonable. Also if everyone posts earlier than that I would post earlier.  I'm also open to any other ideas. The goal here is to make this game fu nand exciting."

I like to use dice, because are the only truly objective influence on the course of a battle, and having a bit of randomness seems very appropriate in something so chaotic. Turns it from being collective, improvisational storytelling to actual roleplay, IMO, when you have to react IC to an outside influence like the Fates.<br/><br/>I'm still into having the GM make the rolls, however, because it simply cuts down on the amound of posting. I.e., instead of you post action, GM post says 'okay need a roll for that', you post your roll, GM posts results, you can just cut out the middle two steps.<br/><br/>(If we were rolling for everything, then players rolling is easy, just include it in the initial post, but that's better with 3.5e DnD than something like this, eh?)<br/><br/>Also, posting rate is<strong>very</strong>important to me. I like posting every day in just two or three games, not once a week in twenty. Split the difference, and I'm not pulling my hair out so long as we can maintain 3-4 posts from everyone a week. If you guys want a slower pace, that's cool, but<em>please</em>be clear about that now so I can back out before things get started."

One of hteir female pilots is a hot red head who pilots an atlas. Cassie Suthorn I think was her name.<br/><br/>Speaking of Atlas' and ...head room, I wrote this for another version of the game I thinking about running.<br/><br/>Fire and smoke bled from the rear torso of the Shadow Hawk as it stumbled sideways, before toppling over the side of the ledge. The roar of the crowd was almost audible over the noise of the Were Wolf's engine as the 'mechwarrior gunned the throttle up to full speed. It looked like 'Mad' Jack Ryan was about to make it four years in a row as champion of the Solaris Circuit.<br/><br/>The Were Wolf stood at the precipe and tilted forward to witness the carnage below. The Shadow Hawk lay face up, the right arm crushed beneath it. Smoke billowed from the shattered torso, and sparks danced in the grooves gouged in the thick armored plating.<br/><br/>Too late the Were Wolf pilot saw the emerald lances of energy from the trio of torso mounted pulse lasers. They struck the 'Mech simultaneously. Two of them cored into the torso, melting away precious armor. The third shot, penetrated the head of the cockpit, entering through the bottom of the snout-like protrusion. The Were Wolf 's arms swung out and it fell, backwards in slow motion, landing spread eagle on it's back.<br/><br/>Slowly the Shadow Hawk limped to it's feet and began the difficult task of climbing the slope with only one good leg, dragging the left one in an awkward shuffle. A loud buzzer rang out signaling the end of the match.<br/><br/>“Ladies and Gentlemen,” A female voice boomed form the intercom. “We have a new Champion! After three years the near unstoppable 'Mad' Jack Ryan has been defeated. Say hello to our new Solaris Champion.......”<br/><hr/><br/>Wearing only his birthday suit Troy sunk down into the crash couch of the Atlas' cockpit. The red headed beauty sharing the extremely tight confines of the mech's head shaped cockpit was also nude. As she squeezed by him in trying not to bump against the piloting console, her hands brushed between his legs, and she fought back a surprised yelp. Yes she had made a very good choice this evening indeed.  Twenty minutes later, a young techie on his hourly rounds noticed the one of the Atlas' rocking slightly in it's berth. Moving closer he heard screams of pleasure emitting from the access hatch. Looked like Sgt. Belarosa was at it again. He'd have to remember to jive him about it tomorrow.<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

In a recon lance, mechs like the<em>Griffon</em>and<em>Wolverine</em>tend to be backup, especially things like the<em>Griffon</em>you're piloting with all that long-range firepower. From what I remember, lances are meant to operate individually, so it's important the pure-light scouts (moving anywhere from 6/9/* to even 10/15/* or more!) have integral support. They need that support to be able to keep up, more or less, which is where medium mechs come in.<br/><br/>At the other end, the reason a 'typical' lance is supposed to be 2 heavies, 1 medium and 1 light mech is the same. The lance needs that flexibility, though I don't remember that configuration being seen everywhere. Things tend to be like 2 heavies and 2 mediums, or 3 heavies and 1 medium for command and 'middle' lances, then 1-2 mediums and the rest light for the recon lance.<br/><br/>In those heavier lances, medium mechs take on the role of scout, but then thier backup is big mean things like<em>Thunderbolts</em>and<em>Marauders</em>. Medium mechs make up the vast majority, or at least they are supposed to, because they can fill so many roles. And as you can tell by my examples, I'm very old school, so take everything above with a grain of salt.  :D"

That could have jumpstarted a return/renaissance of technology all on it's own, throw in that it lists the locations of other possible lostech caches and the Successor States would have grabbed their guns and started blasting before the printouts finished, you know?  :D<br/><br/>I figure part of my problem with the Clans is that I liked Wolf's Dragoons from the start, just that little blurb in the original BT rulebook and then when I picked up the Black Widow Campaign book. Really cheesed me off to learn my hero, Natasha Kerensky, was a genetically modified super-mechwarrior and not just a smart and talented woman. Hell, the whole 'return of Kerensky' thing might have been tolerable if they hadn't been so cheesy about it. Really, I don't much care for what they wound up doing with the Dragoons after their contract with the Draconis Combine went sour. The Dragoons kind of lost their mystery after that, and that was a big part of their appeal.<br/><br/>Back on the mech thing:<br/>I never meant to say that light mechs aren't so hot. I took out a<em>Dragon</em>with a<em>Commando</em>once...light mechs are awesome flankers, and only the biggest mechs have the rear armour to ignore them for more than one turn, usually.

I had remembered discussing the Raven, and didn't double check your sheet before I posted.<br/><br/>As for the Jihad, what everyone else has said prettym uch sums it up. Word of Blake went crazy after the Inner sphere disbanded the new Star league. They began using nukes again for the first time in like 300 years. They nuked the Lyran Allian Capital as well as Outreach. They hired a bunch of mercenary commands to fight other mercenary units and really stuck it to the Dragoons. They wiped them out nearly to the man including the death of Jamie wolf ,and when the Dragoon's sent a space fleet to assualt Terra(Earth) the fleet was obliterated. They have sieged Luthien(Kurita Captial planet). About the only house they havn't messed with is Marik, who many believe is an allie of WoB. There is so much more, but I havn't had a chance to pick up the second and third sourcebooks for it.<br/>I chose 3067 as the starting point since that is the time just before the Jihad. Since the Jihad is new, having just been introduced near the end of last year, that gives us a chance to mold the universe the way we want. Depending on the units actions the Jihad may or may not happen, and will most likely be far different fro mthe way it is now. Heck even the fate of the clans is up for grabs.<br/>As far as mech designs go, many of the designs date back over 300 years. They just get upgraded with newweapons and the like. though there are also alot of stock older models out there. Therefore the Locust is still a viable choice. It may not be the best light mech around nowadays but it is still reliable.<br/>Okay Seereous has volunteered to switch to a mech for now and suggested a unit breakdown which for the most part i agree with.

Alpha Company<br/>Captain yamamoto Strike Lance C.O./Alpha company X.O.<br/>Captain Campbell Recon Lance C.O.<br/>Lt. Farks<br/>Lt. Drake<br/><br/>As we go we will have chances to recruit NPCs/players(I don't mind having to control several NPCs if it will make the unit better). The positions were based on a few factors. One was the characetr backgrounds. Since Kate a Michael were already part of the unit it makes snese that they would hold the higher positons. I also looked at rank in the background. I used that and compared it to the charts in the Mercenaries Handbook and assigned what I felt was an appropriate rank. I may have overlooked someones rank or something so if so let me know so I can finalize this before we go inot the first contract.<br/><br/>Unit Ranks:<br/>Colonel<br/>Lt.

I know there was a lot of mechs lost even in the Widows (I might even have 'Wolves on the Border' somewhere.

And weren't they already on Outreach by the 4th Succession War? With that Star League cache?<br/><br/>That's cool, you being a military history major. You might appreciate my other big gripe with 3050+ (besides the clans), the<em>cost</em>of so many of the 3050 line mechs. The<em>Grand Dragon</em>(http://www.chaosmarch.com/output.cfm?ZVType=1&flag=0&ZFaction=1&XEra=4&XVid=480&XPrev=482&XNext=481&ZVotes=1128 (http://www.chaosmarch.com/output.cfm?ZVType=1&flag=0&ZFaction=1&XEra=4&XVid=480&XPrev=482&XNext=481&ZVotes=1128)) comes in at over 13 million C-bills! Each! As the mainstay of your mech forces? Riiiiiigght...like the budget planners are going to pass that. It's the XL engine they use so liberally (at least in that example mech it went to speed), it just ups the price huge (for comparison, Kate's<em>Atlas</em>comes in at 11.5 mil) and it kinda irks me that it's so disregarded, money, that is, in the later designs. They have too many that just don't make sense, based on what they would cost (not to mention how vulnerable an XL engine makes you). I just think they didn't pay enough attention to how actual militaries think:<br/><br/>""Great, you guys use one of those that's worth three of ours, cost wise. Sure, yours is a bit faster, though the weights about the same and they have comprable armour and firepower. We should trade about one for one...except we'll still have two left...""<br/><br/>See?  ;D<br/><br/><br/>@Rob: Nice, I think that looks pretty good. Setting the Command up to double as fire/assault lance possibly? Popular choice.<br/><br/>I am little confused, though, about the chain of command. Is Col. Angel going to answer to Kate on the battlefield? If not, then Kate isn't really the company CO, which is fine, I'm just not sure how that's going to work?<br/><br/>Oh, what about techs and support personnel like that? How are the Dark Angels setup there?<br/><br/>@Chrissa: Yeah, it's really easy to retro-fit tiny mechs like<em>Locusts</em>too. They don't really gain much from XL engines, they can be stinkin' fast without one, so that's no worry (just makes you and even 'softer' target at that weight class, if you ask me), but a slight weapons swap and maybe some ferro-fibrous armour...might be kinda fun to deal with it IC. ;)"

Your official designation is comany commander,but your orders can be overruled by colonel Archer, and to a lesser extent by Seereous' character. Basically that means the title is pretty much just fluff, but assuming that both the C.O. and X.O. were not involved in the battle, then that would leave you in command of the unit. One thing I will not is that the colonel tends to ask you for advice and let's you give most of the orders, unless the X.O. overides them. Colonel Angel isn't much of a strategist or very good at issuing orders, but he is excellent at leading by example and instilling bravery and loyalty. Does htat make sense to anyone else besides me? lol.<br/><br/><br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Yes, that makes sense. If you want me to be the senior NCO you coulda just said so, though. Warrant Officers are cool!<br/><br/>I think, for clarity, it should read with Col. Angel as the unit (unit referring the whole thing, dropship crews, support crews, everyone) and company CO (company referring to just the mech company both on and off the battlefield). Major Ryan as the XO, being unit XO he would see to the day to affairs of the whole unit, make sure everyone gets Col. Ryan's orders and carries them out. Major MacTaggart as the company 2IC, again company meaning strictly the mechs and the pilots, though by slight extension the mech technicians as well.<br/><br/>Kate isn't responsible for the day to day running of the unit, like making sure there's someone unplugging the clogged toilet (Michael gets that glorious duty all to himself as XO! Though at least, as XO, he can order someone else to do it. ;)). Kate, like I said above, would be the platoon sargeant, if we were talking 20th century infantry. Advising the Lt. and then making sure the troops carried out those orders. Sometimes, she'd give orders herself, but that'd come in a kind of Col. Angel says: ""Kate, get me that bridge."" and Kate says, ""Yes, Ma'am!"" and then starts barking orders and looming menacingly in her<em>Atlas</em>.<br/><br/>Does that make sense?  :D"

Since Seereous has decided to go with a mech vs infantry, we'll assume that the infantry assets were wiped so no infantry or armor at this point. As for techs and astechs. you will be able to hire enough here on Outreach to cover 80% of the monthly maintence.

I actually liked the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy, simply because it was the Inner Sphere beating the Clans by grit and determination, not a technology edge.  It's like my reasoning for not liking the conflicts after WWII, because it got too easy to kill someone.  A push of a button now and thousands die.  Back in the day, a soldier was a soldier, you got to see the light of your enemies eyes fade if you killed him. That's something that stays with you. That's another reason why I like the Succession Wars, war was more up close and personal.  You didn't have Gauss Rifles that you can snipe at people with, you had autocannons that you had to be up close and personal with. I like that.<br/><br/>Anyway, I'm done rambling."

If we are going with the standard<em>Union</em>class then the mechs are arranged in 3 bays, 4 each, I believe, which makes sense as that's a lance a bay.<br/><br/>On a possibly more important note given this group, the living spaces are nasty and cramped, and smelly from minimal air recycling systems. The quarters for the 14 dropship crew, 12 mechwarriors and 2 fighter pilots is one bunk room, again, cramped with minimal personal space. The 2 ships officers share one tiny cabin, and the dropship Captain has his or her own personal cabin, but it's tiny. This is all from the 3025 tech readout.<br/><br/>Now, nothing to say the Angel's dropship can't be a bit better off, but roomier and more private quarters would require space taken from elsewhere, you know?

Two dark brown eyes peering out form underneath the few strands of hair which cover her beautiful visage. Looking at her you might question why she would even be involved in the Arena, but it is the fire burning in those passionate eyes that explains the story. Her body is tight, and fit, no part of her overly robust nor remarkably frail or skinny, but rather more muscular and healthy, her curves accentuated by this fact. She is a skilled, and trained agile piece of muscle, and therefore makes sure she both looks it, and demonstrates it in all the things she does. She can most often be seen wearing tight fitting white garbs, her knees, calves, feet, hands and arms all preferably bare, and she also wears a myriad of rings upon her slender fingers and equally slender toes.<br/><br/>Current Physical Appearance:<br/><br/>Back Ground: By her 5th birthday, Thea was already enrolled in one of the finest gymnastic school in the world, and was showing great promise, her ability, skill, and state of mind pushing her to do better and better, and set the limits and boundaries, rather then follow and abide by them. Into her teens it was clear that she was a fire-cracker, and a bit of a head strong competitor. She didn't take kindly to losing, nor did she take kindly to hearing about her faults after such a loss. By her 20th birthday, she had become involved with some less then reputable people, so sure of herself that she was willing to bet on it. For a while, her winning streak was proving quite lucrative for her, but after three years, new talent began emerging, and the debt began piling up. Those she borrowed money from grew enraged that she wasn't paying up, but felt that they could profit off of her in other ways, thus deciding that the Arena would be the perfect opportunity for Thea to redeem herself.<br/>Class: Acrobat   1                                                                                                                                                                                                HP: 125<br/>Str: 5<br/>End: 5<br/>Gra: 10<br/>Cha: 6<br/>Int: 6<br/>Spi: 6<br/><br/>P.

Each type of attack features one of the statistic 'corners' Strength, Intellect, or Grace, and one additional statistic.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The first stat is the primary one, and decides what sort of defense the target uses. Strength is defended by Physical Defense, Intellect by Mental, and Sensual by Grace.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The attacker adds her stats to a d100 roll and compares the result to the target's defense for that type of attack. The results are as follows:<br/><br/><br/><br/>Attack is lower than Defense by 25 or more - Miss, no damage is dealt.<br/><br/>Attack is lower than Defense by 1-24 - Blocked Hit, deals only 1/8th damage<br/><br/>Attack is equal to or greater than Defense - Hit<br/><br/>Attack is greater than Defense by 40 or more - Devastating Blow, Deals 1.5x damage<br/><br/><br/><br/>A roll on the extremes of the d100 results in a special effect. A roll of 1 on the die results in a Total Miss, the attacker misses her attack, but her opponent's next attack now deals 1.5x damage.<br/><br/><br/>A roll of 100 results in a Critical Hit, a very powerful blow that strikes so perfectly as to deal horrendous damage. A Critical Hit multiplies the damage dealt from an attack by 2x. A Devastating Critical Hit results in 3x normal damage.<br/><br/>Damage dealt is the combined amount of the two scores used to attack.<br/><br/>No single character may use a attack type twice or more in a row.  Doing so results with a -10 to your roll and damage, the amount of the penalty daubles with each additional turns in a row the attack is used.  The penalty is removed after the same amount of turns it was used for passes.  Example: If Wear down is used three times in a row it would result in a -20 to attack and it will be okay to use again three turns later.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Note that these attack types are the means by which characters actualize the attacks they bring to bear on their opponents. Although entirely cinematic, characters are encouraged to develop style in how they attack. A swordsman can use any of the physical attack types to strike, as can someone who shoots lasers from their eyes.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Attack Types<br/><br/>A character cannot use the same attack two turns in a row if they do, they suffer a -10 penalty to their roll.  An example is if they used showy in one round,  and then again in the next.<br/><br/>Physical<br/><br/>Str+End = Wear Down<br/>Str+Spi = Vitals Strike<br/>Str+Gra = Agile Blow<br/>Str+Cha = Showy<br/>Str+Int = Targeted Hit<br/><br/><br/><br/>Mental<br/><br/>Int+End = Raw Power<br/>Int+Spi = Force of Will<br/>Int+Cha = Mind over Matter<br/>Int+Gra = Finesse<br/>Int+Str = Roundabout Method<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sensual<br/><br/>Gra+End = Penetrative<br/>Gra+Cha = Seductive<br/>Gra+Spi = Fetishistic<br/>Gra+Str = Dominating<br/>Gra+Int = All the Right Places<br/><br/><br/>"

Humans are now the most populous race in Khorvaire, living primarily in the area known as the Five Nations. Southeast is the small continent of Aerenal, ruled by elves. Due south is the jungle continent of Xen'drik, once ruled by an empire of giants that collapsed, now under the dominion of the drow. Frostfell is an unexplored land of ice in the north. The other two main continents are Sarlona (a continent ruled by quori, creatures from the Region of Dreams) and Argonnessen (a continent inhabited by dragons). The world of Eberron has twelve moons; some sages believe there is a thirteenth moon that has vanished or is invisible to the naked eye.<br/><br/>""Eberron"" is also the name for the land of the world, and is also referred to as the Dragon Between. Siberys, the Dragon Above, is the name given to the planetary rings which surround the planet. Khyber, the Dragon Below, is the name given to the underworld, and is similar to the Underdark in many other settings. According to the creation story, the world was formed when the progenitor wyrms changed their form into what they are now. Siberys created the dragons, Eberron created humanoids and other ""lower races"", and Khyber created the ""demons"" of the world.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Sharn</strong><br/>Sharn, often called The City of Towers, is the iconic metropolis. Sharn is the largest city in the kingdom of Breland and indeed, the continent of Khorvaire. It is a melting pot of all races, with the human population being the largest but still only a third of Sharn's some 212,000 souls.<br/><br/>A vertical city, Sharn is linked with the plane of Syrania, granting enhanced power to flight and levitation magic, a feature that the city's residents have used to build towers that rise higher into the sky than any other place on Khorvaire and possibly the world of Eberron. Due to the myriad of cultures that live and have lived in Sharn, examples of architecture from all over Khorvaire can be found. Most of Sharn's wealthiest inhabitants live in the upper regions of the city, enjoying the freshest air and least claustrophobic views.<br/><br/>Sharn has a long and rich history starting with its foundation in ancient times by hobgoblin warlords. It was called Ja'shaarat (""Bright Blade"") and even then it was one of the greatest cities of the Dhakaani empire. In contrast to modern Sharn's soaring towers, Ja'shaarat was built mostly underground with only its tallest buildings inevitably becoming the foundation of Sharn.<br/><br/>When the Dhakaani empire was decimated by the daelkyr, the city was ruined and never recovered. Goblin tribes who took refuge in the city's bowels renamed it Duur'shaarat (""Blade of Sorrows"").<br/><br/>Years later, when a wave of human explorers flooded the coasts of Khorvaire, Malleon the Reaver discovered the fallen city. He would enslave the remaining goblin tribes and rename the city Shaarat. In time, Shaarat grew into a wealthy and powerful city only to once again be destroyed when Malleon's descendants refused to bow down to Breggor, the man who would become the first king of the nation of Breland.<br/><br/>After a long siege, Breggor's wizards finally rained destruction down on the city. Breggor would rename the city Sharn. During the next 800 years the towers of Sharn would rise and the city flourished. When all of Khorvaire was changed with the War of the Mark, Sharn was once again ruined and abandoned for 500 years. When Galifar I became king of the Five Nations he ordered the rebuilding of Sharn. With the funding of noble houses and the help of House Cannith and Dwarven architects from the Mror Holds, Sharn's great towers were returned to their former splendor.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Last War</strong><br/>The most recent significant event in the Eberron Campaign Setting is an event called the Last War, so-called because the people of Khorvaire believed that after the war was over everybody would grow tired of war (much as World War I was known as ""the war to end all wars""). Coincidentally, the Last War ended on the 11th Day of Aryth (the equivalent to November 11, the day Germany signed the Armistice officially ending World War I). It refers to a series of conflicts in Khorvaire over 102 years that began with a dispute over the throne of the Kingdom of Galifar and the ruling of the Five Nations.<br/><br/>Two years prior to the end of the Last War, the nation of Cyre was destroyed in an incident known as the Day of Mourning. This event helped expedite the end of the Last War. Now, the region that was once Cyre is referred to as the Mournland and is the home of living spells, preserved dead bodies, and a militant sect of warforged (see Races) led by one called the Lord of Blades whose avowed goal is the total domination of the continent by the warforged at the expense of all ""flesh and blood"" humanoids. Those in the Mournland do not heal naturally, and magical healing has no effect. For all these reasons, few people enter the region.<br/><br/>The Last War officially ended two years prior to the start of the campaign, with the Treaty of Thronehold, as each of the Five Nations and most of the nations that broke off during the war officially became independent.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Races and monsters</strong><br/>The Eberron Campaign Setting introduced four new player races: the warforged, the shifters, the changelings and the kalashtar. Two other playable races were later added in the Magic of Eberron supplement: The Psiforged, and the Daelkyr Half-Blood.<br/><br/><em>Warforged</em>are sentient ""living constructs"" similar to golems but capable of independent thought. Warforged were first invented thirty years ago during the Last War by House Cannith. They are constructed primarily of Livewood, timber from Aerenal that remains alive after being felled. Warforged were produced in Creation Forges in House Cannith strongholds. Under the treaty of Thronehold, the truce ending the Last War, the construction of new Warforged was banned and the existing members of the race were given their freedom. However, in the lands of Thrane and Karnath, Warforged are forced into ""indentured servitude."" They are the newest intelligent race of Eberron and don't yet have a well-defined place in the various civilizations of the world. With the loss of their regimented and well-regulated military lifestyle individual Warforged have had to develop their own goals in life.<br/><br/><em>Psiforged</em>are a new breed of Warforged that can focus and channel psionic energy. Psionic crystals are imbedded within their bodies and can be seen beneath their exoskeletons. These crystals help focus the psionic energy that can be found in all living things. Although they are the same race as the Warforged, they have come to be set apart by being referred to as the ""Psiforged.""<br/><br/><em>Shifters</em>, or ""weretouched"", are a true race that developed through the breeding of humans and lycanthropes resulting in a superficially human form with somewhat ""animalistic"" features. They have the ability to temporarily gain an increase in speed, a natural weapon (bite or claw), greater climbing ability, or other abilities as appropriate to their individual heritage. Shifters can only do this for short periods a limited number of times per day, however. Shifters suffered persecution from the church of the Silver Flame during their crusade against lycanthropes 160 years ago. The church of the Silver Flame initially considered shifters as dangerous and unnatural as lycanthropes, but later recognized this error and reclassified them as a distinct and natural race.<br/><br/><em>Changelings</em>developed through the breeding of humans and doppelgangers. While they do not have the full shapechanging and telepathic abilities of doppelgangers, they still have a minor change shape ability that allows them to take on other appearances at will. Changelings lack a distinct culture and history of their own, instead using their abilities to blend in to the societies they live in, in many cases keeping their true race a secret to all.<br/><br/>Finally, Eberron introduced the<em>kalashtar</em>— humans bound with a spiritual psychic connection to a quori, a creature originally from Dal Quor, the Region of Dreams. This bonding first happened thousands of years ago and resulted in a new and distinct race with minor physical differences from humans and significant mental ones; Kalashtar have psionic abilities and some degree of shared memory due to the common spirit they share with their ancestors.<br/><br/>As for traditional races,<em>elves</em>are relative newcomers to the continent of Khorvaire. Originally the elves were slaves to a race of giants on the continent of Xen'drik. They escaped to and founded a nation on the smaller continent of Aerenal. Aerenal elves in Eberron practice a form of ancestor worship. On Aerenal, those elves deemed to be particularly beneficial to the race are magically revived as Undying. The lich-like beings are enchanted with positive energy instead of the negative energy that animates undead. The Undying act as counselors to the Aerenal elves. Elves have occupied parts of Khorvaire sporadically, only recently forming their own nation there known as Valenar. Valenar elves hold different traditions from Aerenal elves, and stress bringing glory to their Xen'drik ancestors through combat.<br/><br/><em>Dwarves</em>, by legend, originated from the Arctic subcontinent of Frostfell and now live in a region called the Mror Holds. In addition to their traditional role as elite warriors, they also put much importance on wealth, and their dragonmarked house -- House Kundarak -- is used throughout Khorvaire for banking. Halflings usually live in nomadic tribes in the Talenta Plains where they train dinosaurs as mounts.<br/><br/>In the Eberron campaign setting, unlike other campaign settings,<em>orcs</em>are given to spirituality and nature-worship. They established successful societies, learning druidic secrets from the green dragon Vvaraak while the goblinoid races built a mighty empire, some 16,000 years ago. The orc societies took a massive blow during the daelkyr invasion 9,000 years ago, though it was the orcs now known as the Gatekeepers who were able to stop the invasion by sealing the daelkyr beneath Eberron and severing the link between Eberron and the daelkyr home plane of Xoriat. The Gatekeeper druidic sect remains a presence in Eberron, albeit one largely concerned with defending the world from outsiders, aberrations and other unnatural foes rather than politics.<br/><br/><em>Gnomes</em>commonly live in their own country of Zilargo and are considered excellent shipwrights, the masters of elemental binding, information seekers, and social manipulators.[10] Because of widespread immigration though, any race can be found anywhere on Khorvaire.<br/><br/>Other significant races and monsters to Eberron include<em>goblinoids</em>(goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears) who had an empire which once dominated Khorvaire, but powerful magics unleashed during the daelkyr invasion led to a period of decline. The remnants of their empire were largely wiped by the humans when they immigrated from Sarlona; however the Last War weakened the Five Nations to a degree that the goblinoids were able to form a new nation in part of what was once Cyre.<em>Drow</em>, unlike the elves, remained in Xen'drik. They use scorpion imagery but they do not venerate scorpions as drow in Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms do for spiders. Rather than being a subrace of elves, Keith Baker considers drow their own distinctive race. A special warped race of drow called the<em>Umbragen</em>or the shadow elves also exists, with information on them revealed in Dragon magazine and the computer game Dragonshard.<br/><br/><em>Couatl</em>— good creatures of positive energy — are responsible (with the aid of the dragons) for bringing an end to the Age of Demons 100,000 years before the campaign begins. Some believe that most couatl have bound themselves to the force known as the Silver Flame, which now has a church devoted to it.<br/><br/><em>Rakshasas </em>are part of an evil organization called the Lords of Dust who scheme in Khorvaire to release their godlike masters from Khyber. These evil spirits are the undisputed masters of illusion, treachery, and subversion, and they have a hand in the politics of practically every nation of Khorvaire.<br/><br/><em>Daelkyr</em>are extremely powerful, evil creatures from Xoriat hiding within Khyber who seek to eventually break the seals on the portals to their home plane and bring madness to Eberron.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Dragonmarked Houses</strong><br/>The Dragonmarked Houses are thirteen extended families which control most business throughout Khorvaire. Within the houses, only a small percentage of every generation manifest dragonmarks, which are marks on the body that grant spell-like abilities to those born with them. These dragonmarks are designated by taking the Least, Lesser or Greater Dragonmark feat or taking levels in the Dragonmark Heir prestige class. There used to be thirteen dragonmarks but only twelve remain. Each family possesses only one type of mark, and only one or two races can manifest a particular type of mark. Additionally, only races listed in the Player's Handbook can manifest a dragonmark at all. With the exception of House Phiarlan and House Thuranni (which both possess the Mark of Shadow), each house exclusively has one type of dragonmark.<br/><br/>Dragonmarks come in five forms: aberrant, least, lesser, greater, and Siberys. Aberrant dragonmarks are deviations from normal marks and are not recognized by the dragonmarked houses. People who have aberrant dragonmarks are commonly believed to have been warped by Khyber, the Dragon Below. Least, lesser, and greater dragonmarks can be gained by taking the appropriate feats or taking levels in the Dragonmark Heir prestige class. These types of marks must be taken in order. The Siberys mark is the greatest mark, but someone cannot have both a least, lesser, or greater mark along with a Siberys mark. A Siberys mark is gained by taking the Heir of Siberys prestige class.<br/><br/>Another family line known as Vol possessed an additional dragonmark known as the Mark of Death, but that line was mostly destroyed in a conflict between dragons and other elves. Only one heir remains today (named Erandis d'Vol), but because she is a lich she cannot use her dragonmark. However, she tries to gather information to restore the mark through the Order of the Emerald Claw and the religion known as the Blood of Vol.<br/><br/>The worst punishment for a member of a dragonmarked house is called excoriation. It is similar to excommunication in that the other members of the house are not allowed to have any contact with the excoriate under threat of severe punishment themselves. Excoriates may not even avail themselves of the publicly-available services their house provides. Excoriation is the punishment for only the worst offenses that dishonor the house. In prior times, the house would actually flay the dragonmark from the person's body. If the person survived excoriation, the missing dragonmark would regrow on a different part of the body and continue to function, but its use caused severe pain to the person."

They do have plain physical 'real' form wich is male or female. But changleing male can turn out pregnant while bearing female form and he cant turn to opposite gender during pregnancy.<br/><br/>Also changelings raised among humans (simply said changeling who disguised as husband to screw the wife or changeling passer mother replacing her child to pick real human child because fear of discovery). So most cases parents who have changeling children (and they dont kick them out or kill in anger) are not much loved because there is ALWAYS treachery involved why both pure blooded humans (apparently) get changeling child.<br/><br/>But somecases changeling child can disguise his nature quite some time, some cases whole his life, that he is changeling from his human parents if they are smart. Anycase changeling haves all physical traits of assumed form but no statical changes (nor gainign new movement methods like flight, swimming etc). Also disguise self is limited to humanoid forms whit limits of Disguise Self spell.<br/><br/>Anycase in Races of Eberron there is alot fascinating information about changeling's life :)."

They had a beginning, they will have an end. In the great scheme of things, they mean very little, being mere ripples across the pond of history. However, not all things are so fleeting and transient. The Blood War has raged on since the dawn of time, and will likely continue to do so until the dusk. It is an eternal conflict, a war that exists to prove nothing other than the hatred demonkind and devilkind have for one another. A hatred so deep-seated that they will spend countless of their numbers in a meaningless war that will likely never have any conclusion.<br/><br/>There is never true victory, nor true defeat. For an individual, certainly, there is death, promotion, demotion, success, failure, individual goals, pride, honour and many other things. Even on the small scale, where territories are captured, raided or destroyed, and lives are crushed in the process, certainly. But on the large scale, to the fiends who run the war and never even set foot upon it, they are probably aware that there will never be an end. All one can ever do is sustain status quo.</em><br/><br/>Such philosophies fall on deaf ears, for some. Indeed, to demons like Sergeant Scar, it is best not to think of such things, and instead to convince yourself the war can be one. After all, if you're in the thick of it, when you are the one with bearded devils charging at you, wielding fearsome glaives, you want to believe that there's a reason you're doing this other than the fact that you hate them and they hate you.<br/><br/>Still, it could be worse. At least there is the understanding that you hate each other. Not like the Celestials. Those he hates for the reason that they are incapable of good, proper hatred. At least you know where you stand with devils: you stand with your boot on their chest as you try to take their head as a trophy.<br/><br/>Sergeant Scar isn't really as intimidating as many. He's only six feet tall - many fiends tower above him. He doesn't even have that much of an aura of power. No, he just knows how to get things done. Looking over the group of demons in his unit, he rubs his chin, the hard, leathery skin a deep blue.<br/><br/>""Right, you lot. It's simple. We need to take the larval farm. Yes, I know, they only captured it from us last week. But the thing is, that's a valuable resource. Every single one that gets taken back home is one more on our side and one less on theirs. You know what happened when they took it from the Atrocity Unit. They were good kids, they had a real future ahead of them. Well, not any more, clearly. So we need to get it back. Not only to get it back, but to get back at them. We need to teach those Baatezu what happens when you mess with Tanar'ri. Get my message?""<br/><br/>A searing ball of flame drops from the sky, erupting in an explosion a mere thirty feet away on the battlefield. The clouds are a mixture of blood and ash, fireballs drop with frequency. The only plantlife that has the strength and voracity to grow here is the razorvine, so named for reasons that become obvious if you ever try picking it from the ground, or fall into a patch of it. The camp is fairly small - the demons gathered are merely set up in a field of jagged rocks, a good mile behind the current frontline. Tents are set up - for those few beings that actually do need to sleep, but mostly to hold documents and reserve equipment. The fiends don't kid themselves, there is no medical bay. If you can't get healed on the field, you probably aren't making it back to camp.<br/><br/>""I know this is going to be tough, but you<strong>are</strong>tough. You do an old demon proud. So before I tell you the plan and send you off to prove how many testicles you all have, I need to know if there are questions so far.""<br/><br/>His gaze falls over each and every one."

Another is trampled upon, torn asunder by the fierce beast that Khait rides upon, while the last in that group is completely impaled and also slain. The entire advanced team has been wiped out by the lightning-fast assault.<br/><br/>The kobolds decide that fleeing might be best, at least, for a short distance so that they can hurl more darts. Sacrifices do need to be made for this to happen, and sacrifices are most certainly made. As one group turn to run, Thud sees an opportunity. Assuming he swings a clawed fist at one of them, his arm ploughs through one and hits another in the chest, digging into the ribs. Only one survives long enough to actually make the distance.<br/><br/>At the other wing, one is caught in the back by Orazociel, bleeding profusely as it stumbles away. Their darts are thrown, one at Thud, one at Ora and two at Khait. All four, however, sail though the air and fail to strike their targets effectively. It seems these darts are just not suitable against such foes - or perhaps, the kobolds are poorly trained.<br/><br/>However, the stealthy ones quickly attack, using a clever tactic of three providing guidance for the fourth to hurl its ninja star, whirling through the air. Still, it is no use, it bounces off Khait, glowing faintly and remaining undamaged from the impact."

The solemn chanting had just stopped, the cermony had entered a new phase, it was nearing it's end.<br/>It was the summer solstice and each year a week long festival started on this very day, and each day of the festival the people honored one Godess in particular. Today it was Isayielda, the Godess of Justice, and that was why the Order held their cermony on this day. Of all the Godesses, the Order was watched over closest by Isayielda and Bambii, since the Order's main mission was to spread Justice and the message of Love to those who needed it. The last day of the festival honored Bambii, wich meant that the festival was both started and ended by the Godesses they were closest to, making the festival extra special for the nuns. Each year, on Bambii's Day, also called Deflowering Day, the new hopefull candidates entered the convent, and if they were lucky and skilled enough, they were accepted into the Order as Sisters 4 years later, on Isayielda's Day.<br/>10 novices stood as the center of the cermony, bursting with pride and anticipation. They would soon be accepted into the ranks of the Warrior Nuns, and few were more admired in these parts of Bacchanalia.<br/>The Mother Superior, Sister Maxima, was leading the ceremony. She had been the head of the Order for more than ten years now, but still didn't look a day older than the day she took her vows. Bambii stoped the aging for those that loved her so dearly that they would dedicate their life to her. The only sign that Maxima was older than the novices were her eyes, that seemed to be far to wise to belong to such a seemingly young woman. Her body was lean and strong and sculpted into perfection after years of fighting in the name of the Godesses. She carried herself with a confidence and grace that made women want to be her, and men want her. She was clad in the standard uniform of the Warrior nuns: thigh high stiletto leather boots, a leather corset that hardly managed to contain her full breasts, and of course her habit. The thing that set her clothes apart from the rest of the Nuns were that hers were white, rather than the standard black. Nothing covered her hairless sex, and even her cunt was perfect, her moist, slightly puffy pussy lips glistening in the light from the torches.<br/>""You have given your vows and sworn your life to the service of the Godesses and to, in their name, spread their gospel to those in need of hearing it.

She gestured to 10 Sisters to step forward, razor and shaving foam at the ready. Sofia got a sister that had just recently been made a Nun when Sofia entered the convent, but she couldn't quite remember her name. The nun gave her an encouraging smile and a wink before she got on her knees and started lathering Sofia's sex.<br/>""Be mindfull of the honor bestowed on you, as your soon-to-be fellow Sisters welcomes you into the Order and assist you in this final act of the initiation."" Sofia's Nun gave her another wink and mouthed the words: ""Don't mention it.""

She had of course heard of the Blessing of Bambii, but actually seeing a cunt blessed by the Godess of Love was quite another thing. At least she knew what she had to look forward to, the Nuns got the same blessing during their initiation. But this one seemed special. Was it really supposed to be this...moist?<br/>When the Godesses had taken control they had first planned to destroy the treacherous magic forever, since it was a tool of N'tinroth. Ach'ild'aen got down on her knees and begged them not to, because if N'tinroth was the father of magic she was the mother. Eventually Bambii took pity on their new sister, and agreed to help her. Together they reshaped magic and added enough of Bambii's own power to it that the other Godesses felt it safe and agreed to let the magic remain in the world. But they had a few conditions. First, no Witch would be allowed to roam free, they would be captured and put under the command of the Godesses servants. The magic wouldn't even work if the Witch was free, only when she was tightly secured would she be able to call upon the power of Ach'ild'aen. Strangely, this rule didn't apply to men, for some reason the changes to magic did not affect them. For that reason male magic users were considered to dangerous to be trusted at all, and were all either locked up for the rest of their lives or put to the stake.<br/>Another little twist Bambii put on magic was that the only way for a Witch to regain mana was for her to drink the love juices of another person, a person that  had given it to her willingly. Bambii may have a sense of humor, but she did have a one track mind."

Some of you may already feel a little different, it's nothing to be alarmed about. The increased confidence, the moistening of your sex, it is all signs of the Godesses blessings washing over you. Most of these abilities you have been thaught how to deal with, you already know how to perform the Holy Communion, for example.

She gave them a quick smile as she saw the effect she had on them.<br/>""Now, what I will talk about today is two new abilities that are most important to you all in your calling as Warrior Nuns.

Well, our lovely, and brutal, Godess of War has bestowed upon you all a blessing that will make you almost as resilient and well protected as a knight in full plate armor. Wasn't that nice of her?"" Domina gave them all a sweet little smile before she continued.<br/>""Now, you will be able to use partial armor together with the blessing in some extra dangerous circumstances. Be carefull not to overdress though, because then Zhuythaya might no longer find you deserving of her gift. That is why, even though some sceptics might laugh, a chainmail bikini is far more efficient than a full plate armor. Well, on us at least."" Some of the Sisters giggled as they pictured the Queens Guard clad only in chainmail bikinis.<br/>""Now, listen carefully,"" Domina continued, ""because while the Armor of Zhuythaya is a passive blessing, the next blessing requires some effort from you to be effective. Just as our Paladin brothers, we have the ability to heal grevious wounds with a touch. But because our blessing comes from Bambii, there is of course a twist to it. The wound will close almost immediatly, but you need to give your patient sexual release before the healing becomes permanent. As I said, you can thank Bambii for that one."" Domina gave them another smile. Bambii, as the Godess of Sex, always demanded some sort of sexual action for her favors, and since she was the Godess the Nuns felt closest to sex always seemed to follow them where they went.<br/>""Now, I am pretty sure you know your way around the female genetalia,"" Domina said, her words greeted by blushing and a few embarassed giggles, but the Mistress-At-Arms ignored them, ""so I won't go into that, if you feel shaky on the subject you are welcome to practice on your Witches. I will however show you how to pleasure a man, so you don't encounter any suprises out there in the field. I know you have experienced at least one cock in the past, since you have all taken part in the Cuming of Age ceremony, but I expect you have little experience beyond that, having spent the last 4 years here in the Convent.""<br/>Domina held up a rather large cucumber so they all could see. ""Imagine that this is a cock. What you do is this: you take a steady grip around the base, then you move your hand up and down like so..."" Domina continued her lesson, showing the new Nuns several ways to pleasure a man with only your hand. Alot of Sofia's fellow Sisters were blushing like crazy by now, several of them giggling like schoolgirls, she could hear a whispered ""Oh my..."" now and then.<br/>""Remember, you must give the one you are healing release, or it just won't work. It is always a good idea to make your Witch drink the juices produced, as this will replentish her power. Also remember that you can't use other parts of your body to give the patient release, if you do the healing will fail. Later, as you get more experienced, you can start using other body parts and thereby increasing the effect of the healing, but for now, stick to the hand. Any questions?"""

According to him he had just been passing by had just accidentally run into her, but even to Scarlet that story sounded… false.<br/>He had though she had been a nun and had began to make his confession to her and asking for her blessing, she had never had any time to explain that she just was one of the girls in training before her had dropped his pants and more or less pushed her down on her knees feeding her mouth with her member while he told her of his sinful actions. Her mind had works frantically trying to cope with him but not being blessed by Bambii made her effort much difficult and several times she felt him hitting too deep inside her throat and almost spoiled the entire ritual. Just as he had been done he had given her all his inner sin and sprayed his nectar down her throat, thanked her and just left. Scarlet had been sitting there for quite some time before her mind had realized what just had happened.<br/>Now as Domina showed how to perform the act itself on a cucumber she almost corrected her on one issue but held her tongue and quickly hid her hands not wanting to be picked for anything.<br/>“Yes Mistress.” She answered Sofia… She got to tell her of her experience later she decided… her Mistress had to know such things about her.<br/>"

No matter what he did, he never was quite as good as his brother was. Even when he was better, it always seemed that his brother had the advantage somehow. Fortunately for his sanity, Kyesara never lorded this fact over his brother. In fact, it turned into a competition, where Kyesara would publicly beat Bacalo, but privately give him pointers for doing better next time. All in all, he grew up to be an average wookie.<br/><br/>They both tried out for a position to be the personal bodyguard of a semi-powerful Jedi. Naturally, Kyesara won the position, but not by much. Bacalo moved on to the Kashyyykian Defense Force. While he proved adept at the bowcaster, it was revealed that he was a natural at using the ryyk blades. <Check here for pictures of these blades. Top is a standard ryyk, bottom is a ryyk kerarthorr. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Ryyk_blades2.jpg (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Ryyk_blades2.jpg)><br/><br/>He was present on the day that Master Yoda and the Republic defended the city of Kachirho from the Trade Federation. The pride he felt that day, doing something right and good, turned to ash once Order 66 was enacted. His ryyk spilt a lot of clone blood (and later, Trandoshan slavers) as he fought his way off the surface. In the end, however, he had to abandon his beloved blade, buried in the chest of a Trandoshian who couldn't wrap his mind around the concept that this walking carpet didn't want to go quietly, in order for him to make it off of Kashyyk.<br/><br/>Within a few months, Bacalo went to look up his brother. Unfortunately, he found out (overhearing some clones boasting in a bar) that Kyesara had died, along with the Jedi he was escorting. Shot in the back, before he could realize something was wrong. Bacalo returned the favor, before slipping out to the outer edges of the system.<br/><br/>He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and a smoldering hatred for the Empire, seeing first hand what it did to it's loyal members. This, among other traits, makes him a perfect match for the Rebellion."

Her ancestors were artisans and inventors among the Quincy, not well-trained in the art of destroying Hollows. When the Shinigami's persecution proved implacable, they fled to the cities, where even shinigami would have difficulty finding them or acting openly against them.<br/>A generation past. Tadya Takumi married a half-American woman named Alice Grey. Alice herself was not a Quincy, of course, but she had a degree of potential Takumi had found interesting. While no one expected anything to come of Alice's faint, subconcious reiatsu, it was always preferable to choose a mate that could witness first hand what Quincy really were...even now, in this time of hiding.<br/>A few years later, Alice gave birth to Yumi. The girl had a reiatsu that belied the weak nature of her mother and even the traditionally low powers of the Tadya clan. Takumi swore to teach her the ways of the Quincy.<br/>Unfortunately for Takumi, Yumi proved more talented than dedicated. She took to her lessons on the artifice of the Quincy, but had no time for the history. She trained with her archery, but neglected her exercises. She would run away from lessons, sometimes not returning for days or, rarely, weeks. Her ability to sense Reiraku made her neigh impossible to catch once she decided to not be caught.<br/>It was one of those excursions where Yumi encountered a Reiraku she knew all too well. One of them was red, and the other reeked of a Hollow. Eager to watch a shinigami in action, rather than merely strutting about like pompous fools, she followed the spirit ribbons.<br/>As she closed in on the two, she noted something odd. A second Hollow was trying to hide its Reiatsu, and doing a fairly good job of it. Yumi broke into a sprint as the logical conclusion came to her mind.<br/>The shinigami had walked into a trap. The second Hollow had circled around to attack from behind with a rather nasty blob of acid. The shinigami turned just in time to see a blazing white arrow cut through the slime, then another blow apart the Hollow's arm. Yumi had arrived a right angle to the two, blind luck giving her line of sight to the camouflaged Hollow. The creature retaliated by tossing an acid globule at Yumi, which the Quincy calmly deflected with her bow. While the Hollow tried to process this new turn of events, it suffered a severe case of zanpakutoutothehead and disintegrated."

the girl listens to the air.<br/><br/>There is a song in the air here.<br/><br/><em>“Fare thee well, my Julianna.<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown.<br/>Fare thee well, my Juli-ianna<br/>Shallow, Oh, shallow brown</em><br/><br/>There, by the wide open gates of Kumyurt against the docks, two pirates – still wearing pieces of the garb of the Roman soldiery they served in so many years – rest against the wall.  One wears his breastplate loosely, on it graffiti detailing a flock of winged phalluses.  He slumps.  His face is blank but for the blood that runs from a deep wound in his skull.  His eyes are an idiot child’s, coins of wet slate.  One soldier is an older fellow.  Eyes are drawn all around his helmet, which lies low over a face of flotsam.  He cradles the other soldier, and he sings to him.<br/><br/><em>Well it’s shallow in the morning<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown<br/>Shallow as the day is dawning<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown</em><br/><br/>Look closer.<br/><br/>Inside the gates of Kumyurt, there is a long road leading from the docks to the town square – a road so long that the children of Kumyurt would imagine it to stretch to the end of the world.  They used to play a game, hiding one eye, then the other, watching the road seem to redirect itself in their vision, its course switching back and forth.  They would play with the cosmos in this fashion, thinking the course of the sun and stars and moon would have to shift with their vision, following the road.  The children of Kumyurt play a new game now.<br/><br/>Weeping and screaming, the children of Kumyurt are led in this new game by a group of coarse men festooned with tattoos and clad in black.  The blades and whips and grasping hands of the men shove the children into a solid mass against what used to be a meat market.  They snarl curses at them, cuff them; in this way they control them.  These tattooed men bear no distinguishing marks – they wear no nation’s emblem – but all know who they work for.  These are the pirates who have thrown in their lot with the Scarlet Harvest, a slaving empire that has risen in less than a year to dominate the entirety of Asia Minor, from the Black Sea’s salty waters to Syria’s coast in the south, from Parthia to Thrace.<br/><br/>The pirates separate the children from the women.  Standing nearby is a single Roman operative – a man with dishwater eyes and a manner like melted wax, wearing a breast plate that has ‘EVER HARD’ written above a crude depiction of a bull’s head.  The Roman hardly watches; he seems to be looking elsewhere, somewhere behind the smoke-sewn fabric of Kumyurt’s air, somewhere that perhaps smells of wheat fields or of his wife’s sleeping body.  The pirates separate the children quickly, viciously, from the women, and they do so under the direction of a man with a chest like a stolen relief from an Egyptian temple.  This man hides the lower half of his face under a dark blue half-mask, but his broad, hard chest is bare to display the elaborate tattoos there – depictions of orgies, of violence, of sweeping, thunder-eyed eagles and lions arched with an ecstasy of blood running from their mouths.  This man watches with his arms crossed, cradling a still-wet sword.  He directs them.  But there is no question who really leads the Scarlet Harvest.  And the degree of savagery in the town indicates that though he is not present here on the long road, he is surely present in Kumyurt.<br/><br/><em>Well, you are my only treasure<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown<br/>And I love you well full measure<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown</em><br/><br/>Look closer.<br/><br/>Up the long road, the women are in the hands of the pirates.  Here, where there was once thriving mercantile, there is now calamity.<br/><br/>Women are tossed between pirates in a game of how much of their clothing can be torn away in a single grasp and push.  Hair is shorn to be taken as trophies.  The air is cut with names – names cried in desperation, in protest, in defiant statement of humanity.  The air boils with the laughter of pirates.<br/><br/>Pirates and black-clad outlaws burn the faces of effigies and dolls in the street and laugh at how the flames deform the features.  Two stand off to the side, one doubled over with giggles while the other pantomimes playing a piece of a crib like a lyre and sings a bawdy melody.  A group is on the edge of the school building roof, pissing off of it and trying to hit jugs they’ve placed in the mouths of supine women below.  Pirates cough and vomit in drinking contests.  One staggers about, calling out his mother’s name, his pants around his knees and one hand cupping where a woman’s teeth tore open his scrotum.  His fellow pirates laugh at him.  They laugh at everything.  Those that do not laugh, drink, or have found shadows elsewhere to sob in.  In other shadows, in the alleys and in the shops, the quiet, whimpering sounds of a dozen rapes boil out.<br/><br/>The women here are played with, stripped and shackled.  The Scarlet Harvest has come.<br/><br/>There are no men here.<br/><br/><em>Oh, my wife and baby grieve me<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown<br/>And that I’ll not deceive ye<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown</em><br/><br/>Look closer.<br/><br/>In the square of Kumyurt, there is a ring of fires.<br/><br/>The fire rings the tight square, illuminating the spread of hay and dung and old flower petals that cluster, discarded, in the grooves between the paving stones like lines in a secret history.  There are fourteen fires, and they stand on the ends of high stakes driven into the ground by pirate hammers.  As the fires rise, wreathing the shocked and stern faces of black-clad men standing guard around the well of Kumyurt, the fires shriek through gagged mouths.<br/><br/>The men of Kumyurt are here, and they are burning.<br/><br/>Fourteen survivors of the battle were taken, and fourteen bound to stakes driven in a circle around the square.  They were stripped of all but their personal effects – lockets, momentos, icons – which were set about their necks.  Their legs were wrapped in tar paper up to their groins.  Their mouths were sheathed in wet cotton rags.  Then the tar paper was set alight.<br/><br/>These fourteen men will burn, but not quickly.  They will burn slowly, like candles.  The wet cotton will keep them from expiring from smoke inhalation.  They are not allowed that mercy.  They will feel every inch of the fire that takes them – that, at last, will burn them up to their manhood as it kills them.  They will feel their personal effects – their wives portraits; their Gods – melt into their skin before they die.<br/><br/>This is not a punishment appropriate to the Romans.  It is not common to the pirates.  It was issued on the order of the leader of the Scarlet Harvest – the monstrous man who slouched from the sinking pirate hordes of the Mediterranean less than a year before, and has since climbed to the summit of the slaving business.  The men of Kumyurt burn because the stern-faced pirates were ordered to do it.  They were ordered by the leader, so that he might tell all around a message delivered in fire, screams and the extremity of suffering:  The Scarlet Harvest has come.  The Reaver has come.<br/><br/>The men of Kumyurt here will burn well into morning.  The message of The Reaver will burn far, far longer.<br/><br/><em>I must get my clothes in order<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown<br/>For my packet leaves tomorrow<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown</em><br/><br/>Look closer.<br/><br/>The eye of the storm that came to Kumyurt is not in the town hall.<br/><br/>In the town hall, there is but a single woman.  Jaw broken, legs broken, she was discarded by the tattooed man with the half-mask who now oversees the separation of the captive women from their captive children.  She is mute, dying; she will welcome death when it comes.  And when the low, wide boats of the Scarlet Harvest bear away the captive women to the markets in the north, some of the women will whisper of her.  They will whisper that it was she who opened the gates of the city for the sneaking cadre of pirates and outlaws – they will have poison on the tips of their tongues as they spit her name, and sting the air with insistence that she did so out of love for a man.  They will not nod though, or shake their heads; they will simply say that the broken woman betrayed Kumyurt’s defenses out of affection for a man who is the blackest lure for female hearts – a man who uses affection like a chain, and cares for it as little as any crude metal.  They will whisper, and whispers will gather like sheaves of cotton, and a new tract of that man’s legend will be woven.  His legend will stretch yet wider.<br/><br/>Only the woman dying in the town hall knows the truth of that story.  And she was killed because truth is the enemy of the man she will be said to have loved, betrayed her city for and been betrayed in turn by.  It is his enemy, for his legend makes him invincible, immortal, so long as its darkness continues to be woven.<br/><br/>In the eye of the storm in Kumyurt, that man is sitting.<br/><br/>Off the square, one door down an alleyway, there is a store that is Kumyurt’s principal claim to fame, and inside sits the man of legends.  This is where he holds his court.  Not in the town hall – every town has a town hall – but in the heart of the dying fame of Kumyurt.  For, since the store’s opening, moneyed men from all around Asia Minor, even the Roman General Lucullus himself, had come here for its wares: Sculptures of eagles.<br/><br/>All around the dimly-lit store are figures of eagles.  Eagles of bronze, eagles of clay, eagles of iron, eagles of brass, eagles made of quartz and tuff and black, igneous rock.  There are eagles in flight, eagles swooping to snatch with their claws, noble eagles gazing off into unseen horizons ripe with prey, eagles bent as if in mourning over lost nests.  Eagles in miniature flock in the corners of the room, and eagles in life size roost in tidy shelves lining the walls.  And a vast eagle, the size of a pony, occupies the store’s front chamber, near the doorway that leads to the kiln room.  This is an eagle that was commissioned years ago to sit atop a Roman curia – a Senate building.  But the insurgents among the tribes incited by Mithradates came here first, and so the curia never rose up.  But now, Rome has returned.  And the man who unlocked the gates – by guile over a woman’s heart or by some other incomparable cunning – sits on that eagle like a throne.<br/><br/><strong>Azuriel Luan</strong>sits on the eagle like the God he fancies himself to be.<br/><br/>From head to toe, he wears black.  Black cloak about a black tunic, sweeping down under black bandoliers and belts to black breeches fit into black boots.  Beneath his black mask, only black eyes are visible.<br/><br/>Moments before, they had been idle – as idle as this rapacious man’s eyes ever are.  They directed his bow’s shots into eagles throughout the room, using them for target practice. Numerous clay eagles lay pierced or shattered by the black arrows from that stained black bow.  But now the bow is set casually aside.  Now his black form rests as casually and as sinister as a shadow on the great bronze eagle, boots set on smaller eagles in front of him.<br/><br/>Now Azuriel Luan is giving an audience, and the jet black arrowheads of his eyes bore into them.<br/><br/>Look closer.  You are looking into the eyes of Azuriel Luan, Bandit God, Tamer of Hearts, King of the Seven Rings, Fool’s Good Brother, Temple Key and Commander of the Raiders of Galatea.<br/><br/>He is looking into you.  You may be an outlaw or a pirate new to the ranks of his storied band, here to accept a chance at fortune and glory under his charge.  You may be a captive – one of the sole survivors from the ill-fated Amasyan Amazon scouting expedition, or a woman taken in town.  Whichever you are, you feel that Azuriel’s eyes are aimed directly into you.<br/><br/>On the point of those eyes, there are few distractions.  The screams and laughter convulsing from the dying town are faded here.  The song of the man on the dock is coming to its close.<br/><br/><em>Fare thee well, my Juli-anna<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown<br/>Fare thee well, my Juli-anna<br/>Shallow, oh, shallow brown</em><br/><br/>Only one sound continues undiminished.  It comes from the kiln room.  It is a wet, tight, ripping noise.  It is regular, slow and unceasing.  And though it is trimmed with other, smaller noises – moist sucking noises, whimpers, the breathing of what sounds to be a bear – it is unmistakable:  It is the sound of a dull knife, slowly cutting open skin.<br/><br/>It is the sound of The Reaver at his work.<br/><br/>But look closer now.  The black arrowheads have sharpened themselves, and black gloved arms crossed before a black chest.  Azuriel is speaking to you.<br/><br/><strong>“I’ve got a conquest for you.”</strong><br/><br/>It is 66 BC, and here the real story is to be told.<br/>"

Her arms were half stretched out above her, her wrists shackled together with heavy iron bands and secured with a length of thick chain to a metal ring set into the very stone of the wall. As the footsteps neared Mohini shook her head, clearing the lengths of long curling black hair from her face, letting her dark eyes scan around the room. Her weapons had been taken, of them she saw no sign, her leather padded armor was torn, two arrows protruded from her side, though they did not fully pierce her defenses.<br/><br/>Her mind raced back to the battle they had so recently fought, she had been on horseback, her horse, one she had known since childhood, befriended, trusted as she did only her family and teacher. That friend was now no more. Her mare had died during the last battle, killed by an arrow through her skull. Mohini fought back the tears at her loss, slowly replacing it with a gnawing anger. The fools that led them, the commanders of Amasya had led them into a slaughter. Would they not learn? They were led into ambush after ambush, constantly outfought by their foes, as had happened to her.<br/><br/>Five men. It was five men only. Before they even knew what was occurring it seemed half their number had fallen. Mohini herself had only shot a single arrow from the back of her horse, a skill all in her tribe knew as their lives and those of the reliable animals were linked so closely. That shot had been at a man dressed in all black, a terrifying figure on the battlefield. She was sure her single arrow would find its mark, but somehow, she missed, and then his arrow returned, striking her mare in the head, sending her to the ground. Miraculously she had not been much injured in the landing, leaping from the horse so as not to be trapped beneath it, but she landed hard on the rocky ground. She saw her companion had already passed, and whispered her goodbyes. Around her she could see only a few of her allies still standing, and on her knees next to her horse, she suddenly felt a wave of light-headedness pass over her and collapsed, an arm draped over her four hoofed friend as darkness claimed her.<br/><br/>Now here she was, a prisoner. A pair of strangely garbed men released the chain from the ring and hauled her to her feet, not bothering to be gentle in the slightest. Mohini did not cry out, she would not give them the satisfaction. She did not know where they were taking her, but she had no choice to follow, until they arrived in the room with the man dressed all in black. She had barely the chance to notice him before she was thrown to her knees by the men who led her, her body bouncing off the stone floor, and her chains making quite the noise as they scraped along the stone. Again though, she refused to cry out, instead as silence drifted into the room she could hear the sounds of cutting, the whimpering in the distance, the sounds of what was possibly going to be her fate, and Mohini knew fear. She looked up into the black eyes of the man who led those who captured her, and trembled.<br/>"

That was a fortunate thing, or she might have knocked herself out walking into the blasted thing.<em>Someone might have warned her!</em>Plump ruby-pink lips pulled into the tight line of a grimace as she rubbed where here head had thumped off the dark wood.<br/><br/><strong>""Ouch.""</strong><br/><br/>It was almost a whine. Her head pounded from the drink of the night, not the whacking of the morning.<em>Afternoon?</em><br/><br/>Masina peered out over the water to judge the fall of shadows. Noon or so. They'd be about ready for her now, she hoped. She didn't like to wait around. Especially not in the same area as Az and his band of wild dogs.<br/><br/>Packs with pirates, deals with the Harvest, truces with Roman's; What was it all coming to? When she was a child, she could rely on one thing always - and one thing only. It was the way of her tribe – the Daughters of Fire. They had each other, trusted each other, and not another soul. That was the way of Masina's world then. The way of The Daughters until recently, when the warring came too close, the bandits too plentiful, pirates too powerful, Roman's too many. Then, deals had to be made - alliances, bargains. Masina didn't like it. None of them did, but it was the new way.<br/><br/>Of them all, she loathed Azuriel and his bandits most. She thought him a fool's fool. When he first arrived on the scene with a scarce few followers, she'd wanted to drive him off - or snap him in half. She'd been told then to wait. The Chieftess thought he might prove useful. Masina spat then. She spat now.<br/><br/>It turned out, that if he was a fool, he was a fool with unreasonable success. He'd gathered together the biggest band of the lowest losers,  and then made them think they were something special by virtue of his attention alone, she guessed. Then he trained them into formidable warriors with new found confidence. And he'd aligned with The Reaver. Once he had, Masina's opportunity to end Azuriel, ended.<br/><br/>Her tribe had crossed Reaver once. It had cost them one of their best. And more. Now they worked with Reaver and his Scarlet Harvest when they had to and tried to forget him otherwise. Not that anyone that ever met him would forget, still they tried.<br/><br/>More than just another deal made, the allegiance with The Reaver was of blood now. He had one of theirs. They would do no harm to him while he did. There didn't seem to be much hope of getting her back anytime soon.<br/><br/>Blood dripping from between the planks splattered on Masina's cheek and brought her attention to what needed it now. Fool or not, Azuriel was good at what he did. It would seem from the sounds filtering down to her, raucous laughter, howls of pain, sorrowful singing, the shrieking of women, gagging, choking, burning, sobbing, that he'd done it here.  Masina heard, smelled, felt in the air; it was time to go. Azuriel had done his job. It was time for her to do hers.<br/><br/>The Reaver himself had given Masina instructions. Now she would have to find Azuriel and carry them out.<br/><br/>Damn, her head hurt. Masina plopped down on a crate of wine and pulled on her boots.<em> How'd they get over there?</em>She didn't remember taking them off. Why take your boots off on a ship? What had she been thinking?<br/><br/><strong>“Bloody Hell...”</strong><br/><br/>Masina's suddenly arched a perfectly formed red-gold brow and quickly checked her leathers fastenings.<br/><br/><strong>“Whew,”</strong>She exhaled and blew errant auburn waves from her eyes.<br/><br/>All laced and buckled.<em>Maybe she <em>should</em> start watering the wine.</em><br/><br/>Masina grumbled and pulled the laces of her boots tight before going about the business of locating and fastening her weapons to her body, a process that took far too long in the dark damp recesses under the docks of Kumyurt.<em>Why had she taken her weapons off?</em><br/><br/>Finally she was ready. She made her way to the docks edge, gripped and hauled herself up to the planks landing easily on her feet.<br/><br/>Masina sneered at the sun.<em>Did it have to shine so bright?</em><br/><br/>Kumyurt’s people were rivals, hated. The horror that met Masina’s eyes was tempered by that hatred. They’d tried to claim land that belonged to her tribe. They deserved whatever came to them. Even if what came was Azuriel and his bandits; even if what came was The Reaver.<br/><br/>Masina stalked up to a drunken man hunched over and heaving vomit all over his boots, wrapped her fingers in his hair, hauled his head up and asked him,<strong>“Where is he?”</strong><br/><br/>The man pointed a shaking finger at a pottery shop.

It was surprising to Quintus that so called civilized men turned into wild packs of dogs when the leash was loosened. This pirate band he’d settled into was precisely that, no more than a band of dogs preying on the weak. He wandered the streets moving towards his destination and he watched these ‘men’, his comrade at arms displaying their total lack of honour. Whoever said there was no honour amongst thieves told no lies. He watched one coward lift the body of a boy of no more than 12 years and he bragged to his companions about how he took him down. It was a disgusting display, and Quintus would have no part in it. Two other men dragged an unconscious woman from a darkened alley, adjusting their codpieces… Another pathetic sight that two men would need to beat the girl senseless to take her… Quintus was not above rape, but he certainly did not see the need to beat the girl into stupidity to do it…<br/><br/>These were dogs enjoying the spoils of war, but Quintus was no dog, he was a wolf. Why kill the boy when you can educate him, take him in and mould him in your image… Why beat the woman, when you can enjoy her feeble attempts at pushing you off her. He continued to make his way across the street that showed clearly the result of their endeavour. The bodies littered the street and the sky above was barely visible for the smoke. And the stench of death was everywhere. Loud boisterous voices were heard as three more of the dogs exited a nearby building carrying off large pieces of art and drinking from wine gourds. Fools he thought to himself as he bent by the body of a pirate. They would not be allowed to keep such large objects; those would be taken and sent back to fill the coffers in Rome.<br/><br/>His eyes turned to the man who lay dead on the ground. He knew this man, they had sailed together. He’d been a good man, and by the looks of the wounds he fought bravely and died with honour, a rare thing amongst pirates. Quintus pulled the dagger from his belt and quickly and cleanly cut the lobe form the man’s ear, freeing the gold hoop that had hung there. He wiped the blood and held it up to the blue smoky sky, which was a good contrast for admiring its beauty. It would bring a fair price. He tucked the bauble into his belt pouched looped to his belt and triple fastened. It hit the contents with a clang. The pouch was filled with rings and necklaces, and other small trinkets easily carried and concealed. He stood and tucked the dagger back into the sheath as he felt a long drop of blood slide down his cheek…<br/><br/>He hadn’t noticed the cut. He brought his hand near his temple and felt the wetness. But the drop continued to slide down his cheek and then it hung, lingering there… Then almost as if in slow motion it fell gently to land on the pauldron protecting his right shoulder. The left one had been torn earlier in combat leaving the massive muscles of his left shoulder bare. Quintus was often described as a large man, though barely any fat was retained on his body. His arms were large and muscular and some would say he had the strength of ten men, though this was only rumour, for Quintus was just a man. Protecting his skin from the constant chaffing of armour was the black tunic assigned to each man aboard his ship, and apparently to each man in the armada. He had donned it for the first time this morning and already it was beyond being soiled, the edges cut and frayed.<br/><br/>The drop of blood continued its journey, sliding from the smooth leather pauldron to run down the hard leather breastplate, making its way past the carving. He’d taken the armour piece over a year ago off a fallen enemy raider. A skull was carved in its center and crossed short swords were just below. The armour was etched and scarred in many places but it was still very much functional and had saved his life on more than one occasion. The drop then followed along one of the lathes that hung, concealing his codpiece and it ended in a large metal stud, and from here, finally the drop fell into the dust and dirt, ending its journey like so many others had done this day.<br/><br/>The scent of burning flesh made its way to his nose and he cringed. His sandaled feet began moving, the metal greaves, the only metal armour he wore glinted from the sun reflecting upon them as he moved towards the large square. He passed through it without a second glance offered to the dying men, whose bodies were burning. No one deserved to die this way he thought. The rippling muscles of his legs carried him quickly past the scene towards his destination. He paused only for a moment, gathering a silk scarf from the body of a pretty woman. It was clear her body had been violated and her throat slit. Her lifeless eyes stared blankly into the sky, perhaps in her final moment she prayed to her heathen gods for mercy, though it was clear it came too late. His helmet had been lost near the docks when the attack began. His shoulder length square cut brown mane was matted down in blood and sweat. He used the scarf to tie it back, pulling it all from his face.<br/><br/>As he moved quickly past the town hall he heard the senseless wailing from within. He’d heard of this woman’s plight. He held no pity for her. She betrayed her city and her people. Perhaps a nation would be enslaved for her actions… She slept with the devil, now she will pay the price, as she will burn eternally in hell. As he continues past these thoughts bring him to the devil himself, Azuriel. Many of the men claim him to be divine, but Quintus did not. A great man perhaps, in an infamous way. A ruthless demonic killer maybe, but a god? Certainly not. Quintus had stood a few arm lengths from him, he was flesh and blood, and as such, he could be killed.<br/><br/>Finally he approached the pottery store. It seemed odd to Quintus that a self proclaimed god would select this store to keep his seat of power, then again, Quintus was a simple man, he need not know how Azuriel’s brain functioned. He was here to obey. He stepped past the crowds, into the shop, his dark brown eyes scanning over the debris, the rubble of so many works of art, the black feathered arrows scattered. Being near so many cutthroats the man could not help but find his fingers wrapped around the hilt of his sword, which hung loosely on his belt, at his left hip, in some defiance to Roman officers from long ago. He could hear the sickening sounds from the adjacent room and he could only wonder what the Reaver was up to. That man was sick, if he even was a man.<br/><br/>Quintus took his spot near the front, and his eyes scanned the gathered mass, looking over all of them, before his gaze turned to the man in black sitting atop the large eagle… A smirk crested his lips. The noble eagle… To him the eagle was weak when compared to the wolf. Let the man sit atop his statue, Quintus would rather feel the earth beneath his sandaled feet…<br/>"

It was wide enough for men to sit on either side rowing while allowing easy passage down the middle. There were two sets of oars and a blue and black striped sail. There was a push pole as well, that Masina figured would be the simple way to navigate the river.<br/><br/>The ship looked as if it had never been sailed. It was either brand new or meticulously maintained and prepared to a clean shine for them. She was impressed that they'd been issued such quality. She hoped the provisions were equally as extravagant as she climbed down to inspect the cargo.<br/><br/>She saw what she most hoped she would right away. There next to rows of casks sat a crate of bottled wine. This would probably be set aside for important guests once they were organized, but right now, Masina thought, it was important enough she consume some of it. There were several different kinds of wine here. She selected the bottle that looked the least likely to be something terribly rare. She wasn't going to be drinking it for pleasure after all. That would be later.<br/><br/>Her fingers gripped the oil cloth at the bottle's neck and easily pulled the cork loose. Masina drank directly from the bottle until the warmth in her belly took the sharp edges off the day. She filled a skin hanging at her waist with the remainder of the bottle and set it empty back in the crate.<br/><br/>She noted several sets of manacles bolted to the sides of the hold as well as metal rings bolted to the floor. The slaves would be well secured and probably damned uncomfortable. Perfect.<br/><br/>Near the front of the Bachoi there were some furs arranged on wider benches. Cornering that area were poles with the same black and blue striped fabric of the sail tied around. A sunshade. Masina unfurled the fabric and fastened it to the poles noting again the craftsmanship. The shade fabric had been grommeted and the poles tapered so setting the shade up was a simple matter of sliding the corners over the top of each pole.<br/><br/>She'd leave the sail furled for now, having no idea how to keep it from catching wind. It wouldn't do to accidentally sail off and require rescuing. That might get her unwanted attention, not to mention make her look like a simpleton. Best to leave sailing to sailors.<br/><br/>Everything seemed ready. Someone had prepared and stocked the vessel well. That was one advantage to doing a job for Reaver, people tended to live up to his expectations.<em>Those that didn't.. </em>She shook her head.<em>Best not to think on that.</em><br/><br/>Masina gathered some cheeses, some salted meat - she wasn't sure what kind - mutton maybe, dried apricots and some salted bread and arranged a tidy lunch under the sunshade, enough for at least three, with a suitable amount to keep the slaves nourished, should the Pretty Man -she hadn't caught his name- decide they needed feeding.<br/><br/>She looked everything over while sipping at her skin. She was satisfied they would be ready to sail as soon as the men arrived.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Smart girl, Masina thought. She'd pay for it of course, hadn't she been warned twice? Still, hoping for division among them, was the best hope for the new slaves. For now at least - until they learned to accept. That was exactly why Masina would tolerate no attempt to play them against each other.

Being half human has certainly made life interesting.<br/><br/>I appear human except for my ears and prehensile tail. Because of this most of the Trianii I encounter have assumed I am weak, a mistake many of them have lived to regret. I have always had to work harder to achieve less success because of my appearance, leaving no time for cultivating relationships, but I do my best.<br/><br/>As a little girl, I was always fascinated with stories of the Republic and their guardians, the Jedi. Much like our own Rangers, they are Champions of Justice, and I have always wondered what it would be like to wield mystical powers.  Perhaps someday I will get to meet one of my idols.<br/><br/>My father died when I was very young, so I do not remember him well. My mother tells me he was a great man, but with the problems stemming from the CSA lately, I am not sure. They seem bent on causing trouble, and some people I have heard talking suggest they wish to take over Trianii Space. The Ranger have vowed to prevent that from happening.<br/><br/>I have always done well in school, and other activities, and I was accepted into the Rangers when I was 14. I have loved being a member, and have learned much in my time with them, but it always seems like my appearance gets in the way of true friendship. With the trouble brewing from the Corporate Sector, I sometimes find myself ostracized from my peers.<br/><br/>On my 18th birthday I left Trian. I was sad to see the last of place of my birth; however, I have decided to travel inward, toward the core, where perhaps I can finally meet some of my childhood idols. It did not take long for terrible rumors to reach me during my travels that shook me to the core…<br/>"

She believes she can handle anything that she gets into, and this has occasionally gotten her in trouble.<br/><br/>She is inexperienced sexually, although she has experimented with some of her female training mates in the Rangers, the males seemed mostly turned off by her mostly human appearance. She likes what she has experienced so far, and will be open to new experiences in the future.<br/><br/>She is a capable fighter, good unarmed with her claws, or with a blaster. However, she is equally adept at getting by with charm and wit, and, although she does not know it, she is a natural flirt and good at seduction.<br/><br/>Vixen likes to have a good time, she is a good dancer and exceptional singer, and sometimes makes her way by exploiting her talent to entertain. She has her share of luck, and is also an avid gambler who somehow manages to win more often then she looses.<br/><br/>Vixen holds dearly to the sense of honor and justice instilled in her as a member of the Trianii Rangers. she will seek to alleviate suffering if she can by whatever means necessary. This, along with her abilities makes her a natural candidate for the rebellion.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Vixen stands about 5'. Her voluptuous feminine curves make her appear far weaker then she actually is. She carries herself with confidence and grace, moving like a hunting cat which is accentuated by the revealing way she dresses, leaving her shoulders and legs bare. A heart-shaped birthmark can be seen when her right shoulder is exposed. Startling blue eyes accent a flawless fair-skinned complexion framed by silk rivers of pink hair that cascades down to about her mid back. Soft cat-like ears banded in yellow and pink adorn either side of her head, and a tail, yellow-furred, tipped in pink stretches out behind her. Like all Trianii, she wears a belt at her waist on which she carries her tools and weapons. Thigh-high boots the same yellow as her furry tail can be seen on each foot."

The more absurd her lover can be, the more threatening and dangerous the more she gets excited.<br/><br/>She had thrown her self and let her self be seduced by Pirates, ruffians and all forms and sorts of minor and major gang bosses. But presently she hungers for something darker and more dangerous. She is searching for a Sit that will take her, she wants to feel pure and real evil<br/><br/>Unfortunately for Tiwi her adventure into real evil turned out quiet a lot more evil and twisted as she could have imagined. Gerven der-san was a cruel sit human bitch that had initially lured her with promise of excitement but in the end Tiwi had become a slave and the object of her mistresses’ cruel jokes. As much as she hated her situation and her Sith mistress she would have hardly ever have dared escape her self, as even in the worst of times some part of her crewed and even enjoyed the things being don to her and the things she was forced to do.<br/><br/>One day the small base was attacked and taken by the Rebels and as at this time she was being punished for some thing or just for her owner’s pleasure, her true place was newer known and she her self was to ashamed to even dare say it.<br/><br/>So she stayed with the rebels being to far from home to tray and get back and her nature had caught on to a new fancy, that of the dangerous and exciting life of a rebel. She quickly proved to have valuable skills and talents as well as being a good pilot she could lie and charm her way out of most scrapes<br/>"

So, because they're a PC, with PC wealth, ability scores and all, their level is ""CR + 1"". In some cases, they're even just level = CR. And that's their ""level"" - including ability increases, maximum skill ranks, feats and hit dice - yeah, so a level X hero is level X no matter what, as far as Colour Spray and Holy Word are concerned."

They can fairly easily kill 8th or 9th level parties. Dragons also have the Awesome effect.<br/><br/>Regenerators do indeed have problems as PCs - as puzzle monsters (the puzzle being ""What does it take to kill this?""), the PCs need to find the special solution when they fight it (and they only fight it once or twice), but as a PC, it means everything the DM uses will actually need a way around it in order to provide a challenge. One possible solution is to say ""If they spend a full round action (minute, whatever) cutting your head off when you're down due to nonlethal, then you die."" But that's a houserule. It means they're tough, but in a TPK scenario, they can still suffer a coup de grace and be slain.<br/><br/>If you do that, then there isn't much that's special, and they're just brutes with a little extra resilience.<br/><br/>Monsters that make minions and control things? I'd care, except that PCs can already do that with spells and all that. So if it's a problem, then it's already a problem that exists without the monster, so needs to be fixed across the board. If it's *not* a problem, then, well, it's not a problem.<br/><br/>And apparently ability scores should also be tinkered with, because when the numbers get too big, it can really have strange results. Specifically, if it has a score above 15, then assume it was made with the Elite Array, so subtract 15 from the highest score, then 14 from the next, 13, 12, 10 and finally 8 from the worst score. That gives you somewhat reduced ability mods. If the stats are fairly ordinary, then leave them alone, or if they're a low, flat bonus across the board (+1 to everything, for instance) then assume they were made with three 12s and three 13s.<br/><br/>Again, it's all a bit of a ""patch it together"", but you do what you can."

It's the rule set for a game that's usually all about heroes in a high fantasy setting (rogues, wizards, knights etc.) finding monsters, stabbing them in the face, then stealing all of their stuff. Sometimes princesses are rescued, too. That's putting it... in a bit of an off-hand, cheeky manner.<br/><br/>So most of the terms used are rules and stats from D&D - CR is Challenge Rating, for instance, which simply works as a guide for how powerful and challenging a monster is. An Imp is CR 1, so it's a good challenge for a level 1 party (beginning heroes). A really fucking old Green Dragon, on the other hand, is probably more than CR 20, which means only the most experienced and powerful of heroes have a chance of killing it.<br/><br/>If you think of a basic character concept you have, we can work things out and I'll make a character sheet for you."

It was difficult to see if it had rearranged itself. Certainly all of the girls in this chamber were too preoccupied to wonder at where their companions had gone, although the muffled sound of distant squeals might be heard from somewhere. They did not even notice more spiders dragging Inari to a small opening in one wall, and out of sight.<br/><br/>Yessica thrashed angrily on the ground, red mists descending as she tried to use her barbarian rage to free herself. She was successful with one of the spiders; the one attempting to hold her lithe, wildly scissoring legs was sent flying across the floor. It landed perfectly on all eight legs and immediately rebounded back toward her, clearly frustrated, its engorged phallus trailing mucusy slime across the floor in its wake. (Miss)<br/>However the first spider clung desperately on to the thrashing woman with all of its limbs, and Yessica's exertions served only to saw her naked flesh against its tightly-gripping barbed limbs, opening numerous shallow cuts and abrasions on her flanks and rubbing her breasts against the coarse-haired underside of its body, chafing them painfully. Perversely, the creature seemed to enjoy the sensation of the wildly bucking young woman beneath it, its member, still pressed tight against her abdomen, swelling rapidly back to full stiffness again, but the spider still tried - vainly - to calm its maddened prey, hissing; ""nooooo, ssstruggle not... do not ressssissst...""<br/>(Hit: 11 damage)<br/><br/>Miyo bounced savagely on top of the spider, her hair and breasts flying wildly, pounding at the creature below her as she did so. She looked tired; the ravages of her first encounter still telling upon even her extraordinary endurance, and Kritsina's spell was a welcome boost to her flagging endurance. The spider beneath her squealed, a hideous keening cry, although whether this was pain or pleasure was hard to tell. But it still kept pumping ineffectually at her stretched, violated pussy, mechanically obedient to its own perverse nature. (Miss)<br/><br/>Alex, on all fours, swatted ineffectively at the spider in front of her as the one behind her mounted her tight backside. As her mouth opened to scream at the violation of her rectum the beast in front of her saw its opportunity and shoved its abdomen forward with a lightning thrust. The swollen, slime-coated cock slid deep into Alex's mouth, and continued onwards as the beast pushed determinedly into her throat, plugging it and cutting off her breathing. A cloying, sickly-sweet taste filled her mouth from the sticky member. Just when she thought things could not get any worse, she felt the prick pulsing with sick life as great gouts of spider semen were pumped directly into her stomach, and as her body retched involuntarily at the substance within her some of it was forced back through her mouth and nose, sticky white spurts spraying across her face and the spider in front of her.<br/>As she involuntarily attemped to pull back from this new violation she succeeded only in impaling herself deeper on the spider already in her anus, forcing herself another two inches onto the cock until her bottom touched the swollen abdomen of the spider behind her, which chittered excitedly and wrapped its forelimbs around her breasts, massaging them roughly. Dimly through her misery she could feel the second cock beginning to vibrate and pulse with new intensity.<br/>(Hit: 11 damage. Blocked: 2 damage).<br/><br/>The final, injured spider circled Kristina warily, looking for her to drop her guard, but it did not strike.

As the spider before her violently darted its enormous phallus deep into the wet, warm confines of her oral cavity, her esophagus clenching tightly around the tip as it pumped and caught at the back of her throat, Alex knew that there would be no way out. No escape. No help. These thoughts and more didn't come all at once, for the moment she couldn't get even a single thought in as she felt the spider plunge away again. Her plump, luscious lips wrapped tightly around its slimy cock. Every vein and outline she traced with her succulent lips, envelopes of flesh which dragged helplessly along the member as the beast made no effort to spare her pain or grief. It was all she could do to keep her strength and hold back from tearing up.<br/><br/>Just then she felt the enraged member begin to sprout forth its demonic seed. Horrid amounts of thick, creamy sperm began coating her throat and stomach, the amount so voluminous, the consistency so thick, that she could not contain it. Her lips grasp loosened, her teeth tightly gripping the member between them as cum poured from her body, shooting out wildly from her mouth and nose. She coughed and choked, though it didn't much matter, for the noises she made, only egged the creatures on. Cum now adorned her lower face, thick glops of it hanging and falling off of her to the ground and over the beast as suddenly she felt her second captor intensify his pace. The organ wedged inside her anus had become an after thought, though the pain was quickly returning to her. Every fiber of her being was keeping her tight hole from splitting as she felt herself impaled completely to the brim. The muscles of her bowels were spasmatically writhing and contorting around the 9 inch piece of meat so comfortably wedged between her two bubbly little ass cheeks. It was almost as if her lower half were swallowing the beast whole, and the chattering and expanding she felt inside of her could only mean the very thing she was beginning to realize...the worst was yet to come.<br/><br/>HP: 96/141<br/>Class: Rogue<br/>HP: 321<br/>Str: 5<br/>End: 5<br/>Gra: 6<br/>Cha: 8<br/>Int: 6<br/>Spi: 5<br/><br/>P.

Every blow seemed to force more ejaculate from the creature's phallus, as though its entire abdomen was nothing more than a vast repository of fluid, and her pummeling was forcing more of that out if it. Yessica's washboard stomach was flooded with a gout of spider come at each driving blow, the fluid dribbling down her injured sides, making them slick and causing the spider's grip on her to become slipperier, and looser, until finally one blow dislodged it completely and her fists lifted it into the air above her.<br/>(Miss).<br/>However, while she was occupuied with the first spider, the other scuttled back towards her, grabbing her ankles once more, but this time keeping six of its legs gripping her legs tightly at all times, pulling itself inexorably up her, leaving welts where its legs had dug into her flesh. It was determined not to miss out on the prize at the apex of her thighs, finally hauling itself painfully up her, each pair of legs moving in a relentless rhythm to place the beast's mid-section within striking distance of its target, both of the barbarian girl's thighs held tightly in its encircling legs, its cock swelling and twitching in anticipation.<br/>(Hit: 11 damage)<br/><br/>Miyo's spider seemed unprepared for the furious energy of the Drow as she slammed into it with all of the energy that she could muster. It almost physically wilted under the assault, crushed between the girl and the floor, raw energy burning its trapped member, keening in pleasure and pain simultaneously. It seemingly could not react, merely continuing to try and hold on as it received slightly more than it had bargained for. Yet for all of her efforts it remained buried within her, still entwined and active.<br/>(Miss)<br/><br/>Alex was impaled securely between two of the wildly rutting spiders. Incredibly, the one in her throat stayed there, continuing to pump its semen into her stomach, filling and distending it until her mid-section began to bulge almost as if she were pregnant. The creature's abdomen, originally the size of a beachball, visibly deflated before her tear-filled eyes like a punctured balloon; seemingly the entire of the rear of the spider was nothing more than a receptacle for its filthy seed. Finally it was spent, and the spider fell backwards, its softening member at last unplugging her mouth and slithering from her, allowing her to clear her come-choked throat and breathe again. The spider flopped almost lifeless to the ground, its purpose fulfilled.<br/>(Hit, 11 damage)<br/>The one buried in her ass simply rocked backwards and fowards, limbs locked around Alex's waist, attempting to pleasure itself in the rogue's tight and raw anal passage, moving faster and faster, its twittering and shrieking filling the room.

As such, to<br/>join the Adeptus Arbites was a good, solid choice<br/>that also meant the ecclesiarchy and the general<br/>populace looked upon Galatia favourably.<br/><br/>She didn't tolerate the criminal gangs, and<br/>repeatedly strove to drive them out and either<br/>reform them or send them to penal battalions. Not<br/>wanting to ruin the lives of those who could repent,<br/>she often went slightly easier on first offenders<br/>if they promised to amend their ways. Sometimes<br/>they lied, and on their second offence they were<br/>treated with much less leniency.<br/><br/>It was not long after opening a reform school that<br/>Galatia was noticed by the Inquisition. An Inquisitor<br/>had been visiting Eden IV due to being in the<br/>system and wanting to visit one of the more renowned<br/>cathedrals to pray, and speak with the clerics.<br/><br/>A pair of gangers happened to be approaching, ready<br/>for vandalism, theft, and perhaps harrassing the<br/>cleric as well. However, when they entered, they<br/>saw the Inquisitor and realised things were already<br/>going to go very badly.

see Races/Powers).  Despite this, there are those in the Federation who use the element in secret, and along some minor spacelanes, especially those close to the ESF/Mythic border, Pirates known to use this power, albeit nowhere near as efficiently as the Mythics themselves, prey on unwitting merchant and civilian ships.<br/><br/>In this climate, our story begins.<br/><br/><strong>RACES AND POWERS</strong><br/>(GM's note:  These are by no means the be-all end-all of known races and powers, merely some of the ones with a larger presence.  Do not feel restrained to this list)<br/><br/>Earth Sphere Federation (a.k.a. the ESF, the Federation)- These humans control 75% of known space through either colonizing, conquest or alliance.  The humans and aliens who dwell within it are known to have a decent amount of freedoms, but the ESF can also be notoriously heavy-handed when it comes to certain things, namely taxes, trade rules, citizenship of non-humans, and the use of Ether.  Whether the ESF's rule is just depends on who you ask.  As it stands, a great deal of Federation citizens have almost a fanatical patriotism for their rule, and the Federation itself does everything it can to encourage this.<br/><br/>Mythics - Since Kith'Kyumen's uprising, the Mythics haven't been seen much outside their own borders.  They are said to look much like humans, but depending on how much a particular subject uses Ether, their hair and eyes may assume unnatural colors, their hair adapting an almost plastic-like luster.  They seem as secretive as the cult they spawned from, and are feared by many within the ESF as something beyond human.<br/><br/>Pirates - Humans who dabble in Ether and use it for malicious purposes.  One does not have to use Ether to be a Pirate, but it is often a defining factor.<br/><br/>Drakkar - A race of humanoids who are said to descend from dragons.  They vary widely in pigmentation and body structure, the mildest of them merely looking like a human with pointed ears and horns, while the most mutated of them are just a step down from dragons themselves.  The males are typically aggressive, proud and tempermental, the females kind and noble.  They are one of the oldest allies of the ESF, though some among them say the noble ideals of the ESF have decayed over the years from how they've known them.  Ironically, they tend to frown most on the ESF's underlying racism.<br/><br/>Tabaxi - A race of humanoids who have subtle felinoid characteristics, with dark hair and ears that are covered in a thin layer of fur, and somewhat more pronounced fangs.  They have no official homeworld, just some communities on lesser worlds and are seen dotting the populace on other, typically busier worlds.  They are typically regarded as thieves and troublemakers, and their rights within the ESF are that of third-class citizens.  In the ESF's defense, they live up to their reputation more often than not.  Many of them roll their R's when they speak.<br/><br/>Burvixese - This is a humanoid race with grey skin, bald heads (though they are known to have facial hair) and slightly-larger-than-human ears.  Known for their mental prowess, they are officially allies of the ESF but are subsequentally barred from any position of political power in ESF society.  This is easily attributed to the natural paranoia of being in the presence of one who can read minds, though the Burvixese have not shown any malicious use of their powers as a whole.  Many view them with distrust, and there are suspicions that their mental powers come from the use of Ether, but this does not seem to bother them, as they are content with going about their own business without much concern of their popular image.  While they have great mental ability, their physical bodies tend to be on the frail side.  (Generally discouraged to be chosen by a player, but it is possible)<br/><br/>Ethreals - A race of astoundingly beautiful people with pale skin, shiny white hair and long pointed ears.  By far a mysterious lot, there are many theories about their origins.  Some say they came from a different dimension.  Some say they are Mythics who gave up their humanity by fully embracing the Ether.  Some say they are the results of secret Federation genetic engineering projects to strike deep in their enemy's territory that went awry.  In any case, they are the only race in the Federation who are tolerated when it comes to using Ether... mainly because they don't have a choice, as the Ethreals are known to have the ability to step between dimensional barriers to appear anywhere in the galaxy, seemingly on a whim.  They use Ether as casually as breathing, they have no known homeworld or territory, and it is unknown exactly which side they are on.  Rather than fight them, the ESF chooses to merely tolerate their existence, as they have yet to do anything blatantly hostile.  However, some have been known to aid humans in breaking Anti-Ether laws and work with the pirates, the prominent of which have sizable bounties on their heads.  (This race is not available to players)<br/><br/>The Styx - A single vessel whose existence and mission is a well-kept secret by many.  Simply put, under the guise of an independently owned merchant company, they will take ANYONE from Point A to Point B, no questions asked.  The only member of the crew who typically interacts with the outside world is the somewhat impetuous captain, so what comprises the crew is in some question.  There's a general consensus among former clients of the ship that according to voices overheard on the ship, a good deal if not all of them are female.<br/><br/><br/><strong>SYSTEM</strong><br/><br/>The system is simple.  You get 16 points max.  You can go lower than 16 if you wish.  Racial traits are added on by me when all is said and done.  A score can go between 1-10.  Of the typical scores, 5 is considered one of the best for the species, 4 is above average, 3 is considered average, 2 is considered deficient and 1 is considered worthless.  I don't recommend taking 1 in anything.<br/><br/>The categories are:<br/>FIRE - Active physical strength.  This governs your running, jumping, swimming, climbing, lifting and general offensive abilities in a fight.<br/><br/>EARTH - Passive physical strength.  This governs endurance, stamina, resistance to poisons and disease, and general ability to 'take it' in a fight.<br/><br/>AIR - Active mental strength.  This represents your knowledge and intelligence, your ability to decode patterns such as those in language, your ability to cook, to hunt, to fix things, etc.<br/><br/>WATER - Passive mental strength.  This represents your general ability to notice things out of the ordinary, to pick up on people's moods, to sense mystical forces at work, to find that hole in the ground everyone else misses, etc.  This stat can also measure one's Ether potential.<br/><br/><strong>WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN CHARACTERS</strong><br/><br/>Name:<br/>Sex:<br/>Race/Faction:<br/>Age:<br/>Occupation:<br/>Scores:<br/>-Fire:<br/>-Earth:<br/>-Wind:<br/>-Water:<br/>Description:<br/>Personality*:<br/>Sexual orientation*:<br/>Background:<br/><br/>Expectations and/or Concerns*:<br/><br/>(*) Optional<br/><br/>WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ASKING FOR BACKGROUND<br/>- Where did you come from?<br/>- Why did you use the Styx for transport?<br/>- What do you think about the current state of the galaxy?<br/>- Other neat stuff like this"

Blindly religious due to upbringing<br/>Sexual orientation*: Hetero... for now at least. Don't think that will change.<br/>Background: Was raised into a fairly religious society, where his father held rule over the spiritual overseeing of the community. Though his father was as corrupt as they come, his faith was never damaged by this, and when his father was killed by a fellow priest, Ferrice was expected to take on his mantle. Only just now a man, he was assaulted on all fronts by those that would lead him away and use him to control to people, just like his father had done willingly. He is ashamed for what he has done, but he got out of there one night, and is now taking anonymous travel on the The Styx. His religious belief is that the entire universe is a living, conscious thing, and its mind is The Center, the very heart of it, where all came from. He has prayed daily for The Centers forgiveness that he ran from his home. Most people in this era will find such a faith silly, but he is prepared to face that. He knows very little of how the universe and its societies work, making his outdated views and faith seem even more so.<br/><br/>Expectations and/or Concerns*: Expectations? Really looking forward to the game, and considering Ferrice has some out dated ways of thinking, I'd expect something to come of that. Someone laughing at his beliefs, and one of the nicer girls to be a little kinder to him. As for concerns... I'm sure some will arise >.>"

When the war was over 3 years later he was an acting sergeant, and opted for officer training. 10 years, 2 wars and 5 military conflicts later he had made major and an embarassing amount of medals. So when that army downsized in anticipation of a period of peace and leaner budgets, he decided to try the private sectors. Since then he has had a number of employers in need of someone to organize and lead local security, with the odd undercover intelligence gathering operation in between.<br/><br/><br/>Scores:<br/>-Fire: 4<br/>-Earth: 5<br/>-Wind: 4<br/>-Water: 3<br/>Description: Very fit. Short hair with some grey lines. A couple of nasty scars on the right side of his face.<br/><br/>Personality*: Jake need to be on top of any situation, and usually is. As befits an officer he is tough, commanding and prone to explode. His softer spots he tend to hide under a layer of cynisism. He may be nasty but when it comes down to it he isn't evil. After a decade as freelance he still have a spinal reflex of relating to 'duty'.<br/><br/>Sexual orientation*: very flexible as long as he is on top. As Marines have always said, 'there is no wrong hole'.<br/><br/>BACKGROUND:<br/>Jack is enroute from the planet Klenath, where Jack has just quit the service of a industrial conglomerate because he was dying of boredom. Heavy experiences from frontline service in several wars makes it hard for him to settle anywhere for long. Now he's looking for a job, any job, where there's a hope of being shot at or even better, getting to shoot at someone.<br/><br/>The Styx was his choice of transportation for several reasons. They were on a direct route, the price was okay - and the passenger lists would not be sent to any nearby rulers with a hunch of who killed their spies.<br/><br/>Jake feels the state of the galaxy is a shambles and that with the proper admirals the conflict with the Mythics would have been over a long time ago. As far as the Ether go, it sounds like a tool a man of strength could make good use of. As for religious people... Suckers.<br/><br/>Expectations/concerns:<br/>Jake is hoping for something, anything to happen that will challenge him. He isn't the type to be concerned before he has had a chance to assess the situation.<br/>"

A rare few are not discovered for some time, having been personally invited by one of the merchant lords who unofficially rule the city with the somewhat begrudging consent of their peers.<br/><br/>The low point of a thickly wooded valley, backed against and partially embedded in an impassible mountain, unassailable by most of the sapient races, yet threatened by the very thing that protects it, Saxedeno survives by its wits, its wealth, and against all odds...which, perhaps, is why the forces who governs it live within, yet dwell apart from the rest of the citizenry."

Nothing could be further from the truth. Upon death, the soul departs the body, their Chain of Fate, binding their soul to their body, broken, leaving them free to wander. Most make their way, through one method or another, to the afterlife, a new world called Soul Society. Some, however, become lost, stuck in this world, cursed to wander until a Death God, or Shinigami, finds them and leads them to the beyond. Some of these lost, though, become lost, depressed, sorrowful... angry, terrified... eventually, these harsh emotions eat away at their heart, leaving only a hole in their chest, becoming creatures of pure instinct; monsters, called Hollows, that hunt the souls of those they once loved, to feed the gnawing hunger. Once they are dead, they turn to other souls, living and dead. Here, Shinigami step in, to restore the balance, by cleansing the Hollow's sins with their Soul Slayer, or Zanpaktou.<br/><br/>A small section of Kyoto, a sub-section of Tokyo, has, in recent months, seen a sharp rise in the number of Hollows drawn to the area. Hollows are drawn to souls of great power; in the dead, they can, in Soul Society, eventually become Shinigami, themselves. Among the living, however, powerful souls can often not only see the dead, but interact with them, and, in some extreme cases, draw forth powers of their own, to fight the Hollows that threaten them and their friends.<br/><br/>Due to this recent rise in activity, a special force of Shinigami, collected from the ranks of several different squads, have been assigned to this region, to protect the populace from the creatures stalking them, and to, hopefully, find the cause of the focused aggression.<br/><br/>********<br/><br/>Our story opens in Seireitei, the capital city of Soul Society, and the home of the Shinigami. It is the day that the group is set to depart for the real world, as the sun rises on this momentous day. In the real world, it is merely another day in early spring; school is in session, the temperature is mild, and nothing, much, seems out of the ordinary."

Moving down one encountered a most prominent feature or two, the exact nature of which were the source of much gossip among her classmates, more distant friends, approximately 87% of the boys' locker room, and that strange janitor that wore his pants backwards. While not particularly back-breaking, they were very firm and pleasing to the eye, unless it turned out Yumi wore enough support to hold up a small boulder made of lead. Her waist and hips formed only a slight hourglass, being too thin for such a body shape to be healthy if exaggerated at all. And of course, she wore the blouse and knee-length skirt required of her school.

Simply due to the limited interest in the fields, unarmed combat, kendo, and archery had long since been merged into a single class. The enrolled students could change their focus within the class day by day or even minute by minute if they wanted, although it was often the case that the archery students were less comfortable wandering than the unarmed and kendo devotees enjoyed mingling. Fred-sempai, an American born student at a nearby university, worked in the gym as a means of keeping his head afloat. The man was an incessant chatterbox, friendly, self-assured, capable, and mean as a rabid dog when crossed. He handled the unarmed training, ranging from wrestling to simple brawling moves to the more popular simple martial arts native to the East, as well as handling the kendo students. The class was officially taught by Hanatorou-sensei, an aging instructor that provided a calm counterbalance to Fred-sempai. Sensei headed up the archery students and taught the more advanced martial art concepts (armed and unarmed) to the handful of students that made it that far. It was often the case that students taught eachother as much as anything.<br/><br/>To the regulars, Yumi was known as, quite simply, the best damn archer in the class, and probably in the school. So far the fools that try to claim the title have been told that they're welcome to it, while Yumi goes through a regular practice of increasingly smaller targets at increasingly longer ranges.

Some of the stores tend to have lostech for cheaper prices, if you know how to bribe the right worker. Situated at the southernmost area of the Eastern Sector.<br/><br/>Flowerpolis City: Built from the remnants of shipwrecks and specially-designed ships, this completely-wooden, non-flammable city is known for its constant fogs and strong smell of the sea. There are rumors that there are still treasures hidden, under the city. Located to the east of Happyport City.<br/><br/>Joan Villa: Two words define this city: 'Stinkin' Rich'. Created as a special 'resort' to rich Tamers, it's hard to not be impressed by the sheer magnificence that the city displays, and even its inhabitants are nothing but confident in their earnings. Located to the north of Flowerpolis City.<br/><br/>St. Paola City: The largest city in the country, and possibly the largest in the world, it's a business paradise and, as a compensation, heavily technological. It also houses a newly-rebuilt train system to the remainder of the Sector. Located to the northwest of Joan Villa.<br/><br/>Riviera City: A beach resort, this city is the sunniest place in the entire Sector, with rains never interfering with the tourists' diversion. There are many casinos and other gambling houses, as well as certain 'clothing optional' beaches. Located to the east of St. Paola City.<br/><br/>Bellatime City: A quaint and relaxed city with dozens of rich buildings and hidden treasures to be found. One of the few cities not destroyed since the Revenge War, and not very inhabited anymore. Located to the northwest of Riviera City.<br/><br/>Leftfield Town: Lying in the middle of nowhere, this is the westernmost city of the Eastern Sector. Unlike the other cities, it's nearly completely devastated for some reason, and the only ones who still remain are Tamers. Located to the southwest of Bellatime City.<br/><br/>Bindage City: Possessing the best open market of the entire League, this city is very visited during the year, as it's know that, if you know where to look for, everything you can find... for a price. This city also has the highest-rated Gym of the Sector, and from there, a pass to the League Capital. Located to the southeast of Leftfield Town.<br/><br/>Manhaus: A city hidden among the forests and rivers, only the best and strongest Tamers are allowed to go there. While lacking on inhabitants, it is the place where the Slot League's Elite Four wait for their challengers and set up the tournament.<br/><br/>Does this help?"

around the kitchen, but he'd learned enough to make a half-decent bento.  After all, his mother worked two full-time jobs -- the least he could do was make their meals.<br/><br/>""Oh, damn it,"" Sayomi muttered.  ""I'm going to be late!  Why didn't I do this earlier?""<br/><br/>""Relax, mom,"" Masato said with a slight chuckle.  ""You still have fifteen minutes and the restaurant is right across the street.  You aren't going to be late.""  He tied a handkerchief around the bento and turned to hand it to Sayomi.  ""Here's lunch.""<br/><br/>""Thank you, sweetie,"" she said, giving him a motherly peck on the cheek.  She put away the ironing board then gathered her uniform and her purse.  ""Now, I'm going to be working at the bookstore today, too, so...""<br/><br/>""I know, I know.  You'll be late.  Just be safe coming home and give me a call if you're going to be any later than usual so that I can come pick you up.""<br/><br/>""I'm a grown woman, Masa-chan,"" she said with a laugh.  ""I can walk myself home, you know.""<br/><br/>""Yeah, well, what can I say?  I get scared of the dark when you're not home!""  Masato smiled widely, revealing his abnormally pronounced canines.  Seeing her son's fanged smile darkened Sayomi's expression for a moment, and he knew why.  His good humor all but gone, his smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared.<br/><br/>""You be good at school, sweetheart,"" Sayomi said after a moment of awkward silence, smiling gently and squeezing his hand.  Masato nodded sadly.<br/><br/>After he saw her out, Masato simply sighed and stood in silence for a while.  He rose extra early in the mornings to make lunch for his mother and so he often had a good deal of time before classes began.  But the apartment was cold and confining when he was alone and so he simply gathered his books and left.  When he was a block away from the house, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up, taking a deep drag.  He hated cigarettes -- they tasted terrible, but he loved the sensation of fire in his chest.  He didn't tell his mother that he smoked, though he figured she could probably smell it on his clothes.  He'd give it up if it weren't one of the few things that calmed him anymore.<br/><br/>Having plenty of time, he took a more scenic route to school, cutting through shady alleys and areas that most sane people would know to avoid.  The streets of Tokyo were his playground, after all -- where he could be himself without worry of holding back.  As he passed a massage parlor that was known to be owned by some Yakuza big-shot, a large bald man without eyebrows stepped out and regarded Masato toughly.  He turned his chin upward in a thuggish salutation.  Masato nodded back as he took another drag.  He strolled straight past pachinko parlors, tea houses and all sorts of gangster hang-outs as the people around him backed away and gave him a wide berth.<br/><br/>Everyone knew ""Oni"" Kurokawa, after all.<br/><br/>He hated that name and while few were every stupid enough to say it to his face, he knew that's what they called him.  On the bright side, his reputation as the youngest enforcer of Boss Shikijima meant that no one ever messed with him.  Unfortunately, it meant that he had fewer people to hit, and while part of the reason he agreed to work for the Yakuza in the first place was so that he could help his mother with their money troubles, he really just needed a way to vent the rage that he seemed to accumulate daily.  At the very least, he managed to convince his mother that he'd taken an after-school job to help pay tuition.  Thankfully, she did not ask so many questions that he could not cover himself, bless her heart.<br/><br/>He meandered around the city for a while before finally ending up in front of the school about fifteen minutes before the bell.  Students were starting to pile indoors already, all avoiding him when they passed.  He took a look around the grounds -- at the building, the trees, the students and their uniforms.  It was all too fancy for him.  He knew he had no business in a place like this, but he could afford the tuition now and he wanted to make his mother proud.  He was halfway through his fourth cigarette of the morning when he noticed Matt -- one of the only people he actually knew at the school -- speaking to another foreign girl.  Out of curiosity, he watched them converse in a language he couldn't understand before Matt left.  Toward the end, their conversation did not look pleasant.  Masato was not the most brilliant man in the world, but he had a strong hunch what they were discussing.  It was actually something he'd wanted to ask Matt about himself.<br/><br/>There were predators in the school.  Everyone knew it, but no one would do anything about it.  Masato was no hero, but rapists made his blood boil like nothing else.  He took an enormous drag off his cigarette, depleting the remainder in one take, and flicked the butt in a random direction, ignoring the squeak of whoever it hit.  He marched after Matt, walking past the girl he'd spoken to as well as the funny girl in the boy's uniform whom she now spoke to.  He growled lowly as he passed them.  A little fear of strangers couldn't hurt."

As people are still making characters and finalizing details, I'm not going to post the official game thread, yet; I want to move discussion of the game out of the Players Wanted thread to here, to get some actual discourse flowing.<br/><br/>As it stands, we have a Quincy and two Shinigami; a<del>spell</del>kidou-slinger, and a summoner. Character sheets can be found here: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=12657.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=12657.0)<br/><br/>Without giving away too much of the plot, yet, I can say that all the Shinigami characters will be part of a force, sent to the city in the Real world (note: write name for city), to protect it from the increasingly powerful Hollow attacks. The story will likely open in Soul Society, as the Shinigami are preparing to leave.<br/><br/>Assumed knowledge: As all players are highly trained Hollow hunters, they have a good knowledge of what Hollows are, what they are capable of, and so on. Which is to say, they are less likely to be surprised when a Hollow does something unexpected, because no two Hollows are the same.<br/><br/>'Heaviness' of the story: Variable, subject to player interests. Encouraged to be player driven, though some Hollows can be particularly cruel... or just lonely. Or, perhaps, a Shinigami might fall for a soul, wandering the streets... who knows? Naturally, I'll respect limits, but if you leave it open, I may use anything and everything, including tentacles, mind-control, forced sex, and similar.<br/><br/>A word on genre conventions: This game is, naturally, an anime inspired game. Character's fight descriptions should be over the top, property should be damaged, injuries should be dire looking, dialouge should be shouted at your opponent throughout the battle, and defeat at the hands of an enemy should bring some great insight into your character. In fact, don't be afraid to use a flashback, and narrate a piece of your backstory. Oh, and always underestimate your opponent, and use the minimum amount of force to kill him; if he is but an insect beneath your feet, he is not worth the effort to crush him completely with your best ability.<br/><br/>Questions? Comments? Suggestions (I'm open to them!)?"

And I'm discussing Josh's equipment/charms over PM, so that's still being settled.<br/><br/>EDIT: As a note, in case I haven't mentioned it somewhere, though it'll become obvious as soon as the Shinigami all, at the least, introduce themselves to each other, so I don't feel silly talking to myself, this story will take place in a 'parallel' universe to the canon, set some amount of time before the official story opens. Rukia is still in Soul Society, Renji isn't a Vice-Captain, yet, and the worlds aren't in peril from a great evil threat. It's extremely unlikely, though, that you'll run into anything that's a part of the main storyline, however. After the first scenes, anyway."

For something designed to be a tank, having it out half its life before moving more than 60 feet, from one player tells me that the encounters need to be tougher. I also do realize the advantage goes to the Quincy in this situation; a long way from their enemy, and plenty of time to line up a shot. Don't think of it as a penalty, think of it as the circumstances of the evaluation adjusting as the evaluator realizes that the test isn't measuring what it needs to measure.<br/><br/>Besides, I wanted to give both of you a chance to hit it, not let it die before it even got close.<br/><br/>Mind you, I designed this thing for survivability; it's feats are for damage reduction, armor, and improved Con (which I'd forgotten to factor in.) It was supposed to survive for more than a few rounds, considering it's a CR6, after all. So, seeing it hit 1/2 HP in two rounds brought to my attention that you're tougher than you look, and things need to be adjusted. As much fun as it is to take out a Hollow in one shot in the comic, it's not as much fun in a game... unless there's more, behind it.<br/><br/>Please, don't be offended by any changes I make; this is just my style of DMing... the fact I wrote down ANY numbers for it is unusual. =P I'm not denying you your crit, absolutely not. I'm just making a note that your damage capability is higher than I thought it was, than I'd planned for. If I'd not said anything, would you have known? Would it make any difference if I traded the DR for extra hp, now, since I've realized that it doesn't apply? The point of a game is to have fun... if it were all about winning, then I could just say ""Oh, look, an Espada appears in front of you."" ""I shoot it."" ""It dies, yay, you win!"" Would that make you feel good, inside? Probably not, that'd be silly and pointless... part of the fun is wondering if you can win, having to use superior tactics and knowledge to overcome your enemy. It's no fun if you know you're going to win every encounter in two hits... trust me, I played that campaign. I also ran that campaign, four years ago. Neither is much fun, for anyone."

She hated it at the brothel, but what could she do about it? She was a human, they were demons. Didn't exactly scream 'hey I can leave whenever I want'. She was nice to look at and she knew it.<br/><br/>Standing and moving to look in the mirror, she smoothed back her long black hair, starting to braid it. Her ice-blue eyes perfectly set off her tan skin and dark hair, her body well curved, more than genrously so when it came to her bust. She was 'gifted' in that area, and despite her slightly shorter stature, she was perfectly proportioned. At the moment she wore just a black bra, low-rise jeans that revealed her flat stomach and navel ring, along with black shoes.<br/>"

""Infernal Embrace"" He said to himself as he looked at the door, he saw a bouncer standing there to keep guard.  Dante walked up to the door and tried walking past the bouncer but the Bouncer grabbed Dante's shoulder. ""Hey pal, You can't just walk in here.  You have to show some ID first.""  Dante cracked alittle smile as he pulled out one of his guns and shot the guy in the head.  The Bouncer fell to the ground and morphed into his true demon form.   Dante lifted his gun to his face and kissed it lightly. ""This says I'm old enough to enter.""  Dante kicked open the door and walked in as the doors flew and hit two of the male employees killing them instently.  They morphed back to their demon forms and all the patrons ran out of the door past Dante.  ""Housing Autorities, Someone called in on the cleaniness of this place.  It stinks of Demons."""

Slinging it over her shoulder, she slipped on the pair of shoes she owned that were semi-normal and didn't even bother with a shirt before she turned and moved out again.

She is an excellent rider and has won some junior championships I think. I met her because my family runs food vending for the events. Anyway, today they had a barrel racing event, and I was invited to participate.<br/><br/>For this event, three barrels were placed in the arena, and you had to ride your horse in a pattern that circled all three barrels and then returned to the starting gate without knocking them over in as fast a time as possible. On my practice run I killed two of the barrels :P<br/><br/>On my actual run though, just as I rounded the second barrel s kid popped one of those loud streamers things and it startled my horse. As I said, I am still learning, and the horse threw me and my leg was broken.<br/><br/>Even so, riding that horse in that event was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever done, and, though I do not plan to ride professionally, I do plan to get back on a horse and ride it in local rodeos from time to time as soon as I recover well enough to do so :)"

Many potential Tamers, in a certain continent, were finally going to become official Tamers... and would finally be able to go on their quests, proper. It was the start of another workyear, to the many adults who were unlucky enough to be rejected, and the start of another productive year, to the League government...<br/><br/>...and to a certain group, as well.<br/><br/>It didn't take long until the sun reached the Eastern Sector of the huge continent, home to the Slot and Silver River Leagues. From various cities, everyone was in their own expectation, or fulfilling it... and at the same time, at the secondary port city of Floweropolis, a ship was departing... surprising, and even more that one of its passengers actually stayed in the city.<br/><br/>At the same time, many other events were happening... and a certain few would have far more effect than others...<br/><br/><div align=""center"">+=-=-=-=-=+<br/>CHAPTER ONE<br/>INITIAL FLIGHT<br/>+=-=-=-=-=-=+</div><br/>*BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*<br/><br/>In a certain house in St. Paola City, a loud alarm clock rang, alerting the world of its existence... and awakening a certain girl from her deep slumber. After an accidental fall off the bed, to help with her awakening, she'd see her old diary fall on front of her, the pages stopped on a certain page.<br/><br/>'Dear diary, tomorrow's the big day! Finally, I'm going to become a proper Tamer, and I'll get to go on an adventure, just like Dad! I sure wish it didn't mean I had to read so much stuff. Isn't Taming supposed to be an easy thing? Just go out there, get my Starter, find a few cute Pokegirls, and then... teeheehee! Anyway, unfortunately, this is going to be the last time I write on you. I got myself a new diary, which I'm going to use to write down my adventures! It's going to be so awesome! I hope you're not mad... it was just so CUTE! - Love, Dominka'<br/><br/>Meanwhile, downstairs, the doors were closing...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The Shady Woods... a dark, mysterious forest, home to various species of Bug Pokegirls. There were more of those than the scientists could ever bother to count, to be honest, and part of that was because the rarer ones knew to stay far from the entrance and the light...<br/><br/>...but a certain Pokegirl was disobeying the prime rule, for once. It had started as just a stroll, just to stretch her legs... but soon, the stroll had become something more... and with that, the young Little Miss known as Elysia was making her way towards the exit, rather unknowingly. And yet, she just knew she had to go north...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>One of the least popular Pokegirl Ranches that were ever known in the Slot Region was the Beige City Ranch. Mostly due to the 'reputation' of its sister, Balette Town, the Ranch wasn't very well-stocked or anything... it did happen to have one of the largest amounts of 'rare' Pokegirl starters of the Sector, at the very least. Still, most people thought the place was just so... so...<br/><br/>Not that it mattered to Flavia, however. The Cyndacunt was doing one of her periodic visits to the Ranch, as she needed to get herself some more milk and food and milk and some more things and milk... and thankfully, it wouldn't take her long to appease her hungry stomach. Only a couple of minutes more... she was close enough to the Ranch and nobody had seen her yet, after all...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>With the incoming sunlight, Claudia finally felt her sign to wake up... and as usual, nobody was around. This was the last clearing, before the forest exit... a trek that had taken her weeks. To reach this 'golden' location... it was a rather weird way to call a city, but even so, it had been enough to interest her. Not to mention that, apparently, there were nice humans there for once...<br/><br/>...and with the sun shining nicely, without any clouds around, it sure was a good day to start walking, too!<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The Atlantic Forest, named after the ocean of the same name, was also the largest wildlife preservation natural area of the northern edge of the Eastern Sector. Dozens of wild Pokegirls lived there, in a simulation of ancient life. Panthresses, Lionesses, and other cat Pokegirls ruled supreme, without any worries...<br/><br/>...and hidden in a cave, a certain Tigress slept, the sunlight slowly coming to her eyes...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>In the city of Bellatime, a certain man finally would start to wake up, the solar heat being enough to help him. As he woke up in his 'special bedroom', he'd find his meal set up for him, as usual.

For now, she was still sleeping, the last night bringing a rather strong rain... and today, she still hadn't recovered enough heat. Still, someone was shaking her, asking for her to wake up soon..."

She knew of the electric fences and watched the dirt just as its base. She knew of the sensors in the ground that prevented Pokegirls from digging their way out.<br/><br/>However, she was used to such things. Getting around a Ranch's security, especially one such as this one, is a piece of cake. The morning was the best time for the advanced security systems activated during night time were shut down and the guards, both human and Pokegirl, who patrolled during the day had yet to awaken. As for the fences and sensors, she knew that the humans never noticed all the details...<br/><br/>She slowly approached one part of the fence and bent down. Although it seemed like any other part of the fence, the wires inside of the metal was broken, only a minimum current passing through... so, she barely had to dig in order to get through there, fearlessly getting into contact with the fence, which transmitted to her a shock only strong enough to make a bit of her fur stand out... and due to the almost unnoticeable but still large hole in the fence, she could get through without digging into the dirt deeply enough to trigger the sensors.<br/><br/>And within a moment, she was on the other side. She quickly pushed the dirt back into the hole and placed the fence back in its original position so that no one might guess how she got inside.<br/><br/>With that done, the mole Pokegirl smiled to herself and went on her way. She knew that due to a certain incident, humans held records of her as a Pokegirl of this Ranch. What a joke... still, it was convenient and she knew she wouldn't have to worry about being spotted now that she was inside.<br/><br/>Thus, she headed toward the house. She knew all too well that it would be easy to fool one of those humans into sharing food with her. All you had to do is beg a bit... and if all else fails, then just make one of those other, more gullible and cuter Pokegirls do it. Really, easy as pie.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Out of the woods and into the light...<br/><br/>As Elysia walked out of the woods, she wouldn't say she was happy to leave the safety of the dark, damp woods and as an insect Pokegirl, it was understandable... yet, as she watched the clouds colored by the rays of the sun, she felt that negative feeling fade away.<br/><br/>Maybe today will be a good day...<br/><br/>... well, as long as she doesn't run into any morons... and this happen to be a world of morons.

Maybe she was imported... what mattered, however, was that she was somewhat fierce in appearance; she was completely navy, other than some sort of protective red cover over her front. She had a rather huge fishtail and thick legs, a contrast to her rather lithe, even disappointingly asexual body... but well, she also had sharp teeth, sharp claws, some fins sprouting from her arms that looked awfully sharp, and even her skin seemed sharp.<br/><br/>As usual, she heard the announcers announce the battle of the day, which was going to be between her and a 'Snapper', whatever that was... and then, as form, loud, rock music started to blare from the speakers.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The man showed no signs of being threatened... as usual.

It was full of hills, and it wasn't uncommon for people to just run downhill, at times... but in general, they seemed to be friendly. Not that anyone had paid her any real attention, but...<br/><br/>Still, the city was rather interesting. It looked like it was very old, and it also had those tall statues. Not to mention the paintings, and even some of the Pokegirls she could see, most of them of species she didn't remember...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The man took a moment to process the request. ""Milk?

With black hair, black eyes, and rather boring clothes, he didn't look very threatening... and even though he was obviously an adult, he still had an infantile, familiar air over him. As he stared at her, however, he seemed to realize something. ""You...""<br/><br/>Usually, the Pokegirl would expect a comment regarding her size, her stupid assets, her size, her skin color, or her size... but instead, his response was something even stupider.

This one looked a lot nicer, by comparison, though also younger than him... he had black hair, somewhat long, and was dressed in far more adequate clothes.

Behind him, a rather meek-looking Oddtits walked with him, looking very nervous, the blue-skinned Pokegirl trying to avoid attracting attention to herself... and not managing very well."

If today was truly the day when Tamers came to visit, which she doubted was the case, it wouldn't hurt to have recently satisfied sexual urges so that she might not, on the spur of the moment, follow some kind of uber moron who will try to make a fighting robot out of her.<br/><br/>""Fine then... but while I lick you, you WILL lick me. Also, I'll warn you now... control or not, I'm HOT... and not in the sexy way if you see what I mean.""<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Elysia grew more and more weirded out.

Then, the bitch-slap came...<br/><br/>...but didn't strike. Instead, the Pokegirl had managed to hold her hand, still with some blood dripping, and began sniffing it... and as she did, her grasp became stronger, starting to hurt her. ""Hungry... so hungry..."" she whispered, barely heard over the music blaring in the background... but her eyes were starting to change their shape. ""Stupid noise... head hurts... so hungry... food...""<br/><br/>With a quick twist, she threw the Muffgoose down, slamming her onto the rough floor and stomping on her arm, as she kicked the Pokegirl away.

The Snapper then proceeded to raise her up, before slamming her head onto the ground again, and again, and again...<br/><br/>The sheer impacts were enough to leave her senseless, mostly for a few moments; she couldn't hear, see, or feel anything... and then, suddenly, the Pokegirl released her.

Once her vision returned, she saw what it was...<br/><br/>...blood.<br/><br/>Her entire front now had a long, thick wound, cut through with the ease of paper... and then, another followed, from the other side. Her back. Her arms. Her legs.<br/><br/>She was almost being shredded... and then, unconsciousness overcame her, as she slammed her head on the ground again.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The Pokegirl seemed confused, for a moment... but then, she saw what Zelda was nodding towards, and suddenly grew very embarrassed. At the same time, the boy walked nearer her, beginning to talk about something... and the man eventually groaned.<br/><br/>""Can I talk to her? Alone?"" he asked, pointing at Zelda. After he was given permission, the two went to a different room, alone.

She couldn't see the fire anywhere, however.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The man groaned, somewhat painfully, as she began to scratch him... but then, just as she began kissing him, she felt... it. A strong smell... a precious smell... a blessed smell...<br/><br/>It was as if her body had gone into autopilot; she began to hurt him less, even as they made out, his hands playing with her boobs, his organ going hard inside of her... and despite that, she was feeling bliss, with each single motion he did. The pleasure he was giving her was so great... why did she want to hurt him?"

For too long have we been following the commands of the almighty spirits, the ones that have supplied us with our fate.

Not to mention that the wind was still calm, and that the city couldn't be that far away, if the human got there so early...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Earnest took a moment to focus on the direction she was pointing at... before smiling, honestly.

""Well... humans sometimes build 'fireplaces', which can be used for heating inside buildings without needing electricity.

If they see you with me, they won't try to Tame you, since they'll think you belong to me.""<br/><br/>At this moment, he realized what he had said. ""Not that you do, of course... but well, if they think so, it's better than them thinking you're a free Pokegirl, right?""<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The woman grinned, as she felt his hands and tail playing against her.

""I promise to be nice to you, if you promise you'll accept me.""<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>As she got inside, Flavia would notice that the Pokegirl Center was rather full, good enough for her to mingle around. There were several Pokegirls standing to the left of the counter, with a pink-haired woman behind it, dressed as a nurse. Those Pokegirls seemed to belong to quite a few Tamers, who were busy talking to each other, rather than pay attention to them.<br/><br/>There was also a smaller group, sitting by the seats, who was talking excitedly to each other. All females, though only one of them was a human. They were somewhat distracted, as well.<br/><br/>And, of course, there were the corridors leading to other parts of the Center.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Hearing Elysia's response... seems like she hadn't understood it, indeed. Had she... never heard of humans?<br/><br/>Then, there was her pose. She looked somewhat attractive, besides adorable... enough that it was making him uncomfortable. And considering the way she smiled... that was starting to creep him out, overall. That... wasn't right...<br/><br/>""...no,"" he managed to say, getting off the chair and stepping away, somewhat carefully. ""I... I'm not interested in that, really... I think you're getting this all wrong, Elysia...""<br/><br/>After a few moments, he turned around. ""If you don't mind... I'm going to take a shower, now,"" he added, heading towards a section of the room and closing the door, after going inside it.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>""Yes,"" said the man, waiting for her to finish. Once done, they'd take the forms and check them all, before looking at her. ""Thank you for taking this Pokegirl. We'll be charging your account for the money. We hope to see you again.""<br/><br/>And, with that, she'd find herself back at the entrance, being guided by the men. Outside, standing by a tall tree, was the person who asked her that as he exited the room. He hadn't seemed to notice her yet. By his side were two Pokegirls, the blue one she had seen, and a pink one Zelda would recognize as being Sepia."

Her ears rose up and she stood there, staring at him, not saying a word and then, after a long while, her ears dropped as her expression turned to a mix of hope and disbelief.<br/><br/>""You... you're serious? I mean... you really want to do it? You would really do it... with me?""<br/><br/>She couldn't believe this! Did she hear that right? Even with her being a Pia, she was still cute enough for someone to want to Tame her?... and that coming from someone who is truly not bad looking at all?... and well, Lance did call her cute, which she liked quite a bit more than the screams of terror most Tamers gave her when learning of her being a Pia.<br/><br/>Sure, she probably just imagined it all... but well, if it's true...<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Good! Looks like she'll be able to ditch him relatively easily!... although the situation isn't ideal either.<br/><br/>There was a group of Pokegirls among which she would be able to blend easily but the local nurse, whom she assumed was a Nurse Joy, didn't look busy enough not to notice her either. Then, there was the fact that she would probably notice her going deeper into the center. Then, there was this other group... but on another hand, it was a bit too small and she wouldn't blend well enough.<br/><br/>Hmmm... what to do...<br/><br/>Oh yes! She got it!<br/><br/>She approached the Pokegirls near the presumed Nurse Joy. Hopefully, she'll seem like yet one more Pokegirl waiting for her Tamer and those Tamers over there will be too busy talking to each others to notice. If the nurse ask her why she's there, she'll simply make an excuse about waiting for her Tamer. Feigning stupidity and ignorance will probably help her sell her story in case she asks her for details.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Elysia's smile faded a bit as he spoke although not enough for her pose to stop being adorable... mostly because she couldn't believe what she was hearing and that it was taking her much time to actually admit that what she was hearing wasn't a fruit of her imagination.<br/><br/>And when he was finally into that other room and that reality slammed in, mixed feelings came into her heart.<br/><br/>On one hand, that was a relief. FINALLY, she won't have to whore herself out! For once, someone who won't grope her breasts and lick at her private parts mercilessly whenever she say yes or no!<br/><br/>... but on another hand, there was his expression. She was not as oblivious as people said she were. Sure, she was left annoyed and clueless at most attempts at alluring her... but she could tell that this ""human"" wasn't as adamant and unnaffected as it tried to make her believe... and well, Earnest was the only person she had a decent conversation since... well... ever.<br/><br/>And well, his expression had also weirded her out. It was so... so... so much like hers. So weird, conflicted, betraying attraction and yet... something else too. And well, she admit that there is something... different about Earnest. Maybe it's because that Earnest is a ""human"" but well... there's something different about him compared to all those Pokegirls she lived with back in the forest.<br/><br/>... oh well. Not like it will do anything, really. At the end of the day, she's still alone and surrounded by idiots so really, who cares? One more or one less weirdo won't make a difference!"

Then her words hit him like a sledgehammer, and something primal screamed in him.

Yeah, she knew that humans usually had large sexual organs. Something about how with the centuries they had adapted physically to be able to please the sometimes extremely demanding Pokegirls. Still, it was the first time that she saw a human's penis from up close and well, it was HUGE! Sure, it was probably not the most humongous organ she had seen but seeing it from this close... whoa! Sure, she is a Pokegirl but... will that thing really fit inside of her vagina? Can she really swallow it without choking herself halfway to death? She was a bit worried...<br/><br/>... but she was also excited. She remembered about all those couples she saw. Pleasure, pure, raw, intense sexual pleasure... and she was now merely a few centimeters from feeling it, from experiencing pleasure too, from being Tamed...<br/><br/>She seemed hypnotised by his organ, a naughty smile coming to her as she licked her lips, unable to look away, her gaze locked.<br/><br/>""It's... large.

I didn't know that it would be so... so big! They don't look that big from afar...""<br/><br/>She finally manage to look away, looking into his eyes. Her nervosity was quite obvious on her face.

There was some kind of organ that wasn't unlike what some creepy Pokegirls have but still... she had never seen anything like this before.<br/><br/>She slowly looked him over before looking at his face anew. Her face was showing complete confusion... but there was no sign of repulsion, her body language showing no twitches or anything hinting that she might want to get away from him.<br/><br/>""... I don't get it. I really, really don't get it.""<br/><br/>She shook her head, her confusion growing and the hormones not helping.<br/><br/>""You're ugly, you have no breasts, you have that weird ""penis"" thing and no pussy, you have no colors, you smell weird, I've been thinking about some ""Master"" non-sense for some reason, which scares me by the way... and yet, I'm not repulsed and you might even be... well... sorta cute...""

It'd taste bitter and strong, enough to make her remember the flavor, but not enough to feel wrong to her.<br/><br/>After giving her enough time, he'd go on. ""Now, if I may..."" he said, pressing his organ against her mouth, pushing deeper inside. Hopefully she'd understand what to do next...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Jamie just stood there, for a few moments... before taking the blankets off him. It seemed he was dry, now... or at least, not suffering from a cold. Slowly, he replaced them on the bed, before walking towards his backpack and opening it.

Then, he seemed about to speak, when a loud noise interrupted him; it was like something had struck a tree nearby.<br/><br/>After a moment, he looked out on the only window... only to react in surprise.

As she looked down, she noticed the distance between her body and his. It was more than she had expected, and... with a breath, she grunted, before trying to get more of him in.

A small province, yet it has been the center of events that has reshaped the world. In it's mountains, the elven scholar Elianar Messias worked on translating ancient scrolls from a civilization long forgotten, recently found in nearby caves. After years of study, he finally was able to translate them. What he found terrified him greatly, driving him to madness. He plucked his eyes from their sockets and thrust them and his hands into the open fire in his study. He left behind a brief note, the only clue to his strange fate. ""These are the Books of Harrow,"" it said, ""They are our doom and salvation. Learn from them, or we will all perish.""<br/>That night, something horrid stalked the corridors of the monastery, and six of Messias' brothers died terribly. The next morning Kearos Navarim, another elven scholar, took the six Books of Harrow and flead Barsaive with a few of his fellow brothers and what provisions they could carry, to a place where they could continue Messias' work. They settled on the island of Thera in the Selestrean Sea. There they established the Eternal Library and a settlement dedicated to learning and the unlocking of the Books.<br/><br/>Magic is cyclic, they learned, it waxes and wanes. In a couple of hundred years the magic level would peak, and possibly bring about the end of the world. As magic grew ever stronger, the barriers between this world and some hidden realm beyond the spirit world would weaken enough for the Horrors inhabiting it to pass through the barrier. It had happened once before, millenia ago, and it almost meant the end of the world. There was no fighting this Scourge, the scholars agreed, against this enemy there was no victory. The Namegivers of the world had but two choices: Hide or perish.<br/>Already the signs of the coming Scourge was starting to manifest itself. In the city of Majallan, in the human dominated lands of Landis, dark wraith-like spirits stalked the streets, driving men to violence against eachother. For a year, in the city of Dragolin, in the ancient dwarf kingdom of Scytha, every dwarf child shriveled and died before reaching it's first month of life, its essence devoured by something unseen.<br/><br/>The scholars knew they were running out of time. They start working on the Rites of Protection and Passage, a way for the Namegiver races to seek shelter and weather out the worst of the Scourge. Great underground fortresses, dubbed Kaers, would shelter most of the namegivers, it's walls of earth and rock strengthened by the most powerfull wards ever deviced. But there were other means of protection. The greatest of the cities would have the means to afford the construction of domes of Elemental Air that would stand a good chance of keeping the Horrors out. Some kaers were built under water, under domes of Elemental Water. The cost of protecting Thera alone would be astronomical, however. The scholars took the next logical step: their place of learning became the seat of a rapidly expanding empire.<br/>The Therans offered the Rites of Protection and Passage to other provinces, provided that they swore allegiance to mighty Thera and agreed to give Thera huge quanteties of Elemental Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Wood, and also all the Orichalcum they could spare, the most precious and magical of all metals. In the face of the coming Scourge, most agreed of course, and Thera soon controled vast areas.<br/><br/>In every corner of the empire people struggled to build shelters strong enough to be able to withstand the assault from the Horrors, and with enough supplies to last generations. Generations of Namegivers would never get to lay eyes on the sky or the sun, but hopefully their childrens childrens children would one day. They still had a couple of 100 years before the Scourge would truly hit, but it was still a race against the clock.<br/>In the year TE 565 in the Theran Calendar, and the 1008 year of the Throalic Calendar, the Scourge truly began. Both calendars mark the same event as the start of the Scourge: the sealing up of Thera. As the center and focus of so much magic power, Thera is beset by the Horrors earlier and with greater severity than the rest of the world. Thera's last words to her subject nations are wishes of luck and safety, and an affermation of her power. Then, the great Dome of True Air and Fire that surrounded the island ignited and sealed of Thera from the rest of the world.<br/><br/>Within the next 20 years, comunication between different kingdoms became impossible as the vanguard of the Scourge poured into the world. The Namegivers were still strong enough to fight the Horrors off, but it wouldn't last. In 1050 the dwarf mountain kingdom of Throal finally shut their gates, the Scourge had reached Barsaive. What people still not sheltered either found a still open kaer before it was sealed off, or they fell victim to the Horrors. Now centuries of waiting lay ahead of them.<br/>How many kaers were breached during the 400 year Scourge, no one could say. Some say half of them, some say less, some say more. No matter the number, all could agree that the loss of life was to much to comprehend. Those who did survive lived their lives in terror: would this be the day the kaer was breached? Some could hear the Horrors pound on their outer defences. All you could do then was pray and hope that they would give up and move on before they found a way in.<br/>One thing above all others helped maintain the spirits of the Barsaivians waiting for the Scourge to end: the Book of Tomorrow. Between the closing of Thera and the closing of Throal, the dwarfs had not been idle. The Book was commisioned by the king himself, and spread to as many kaers possible before they were sealed. The Book contained the history of both Throal and Thera, the great tales of the day and ages past. It told people how they would rebuild their lost homes and lands once the Horrors were gone. It described trees, the sun and the wind for those that would never live to see all those things with their own eyes. But most importantly, it gave the people of Barsaive a common language for the first time in recorded history. Even to this day almost every Barsaivan child learn the language of Throal beside their own native tongue.<br/><br/>In 1409 by the Throal Calendar, Throal sent out a scouting party to the outside world. None returned, the party destroyed just a few hours after they stepped outside the great gates. Each year after they sent out a new party. None returned untill 1412 when the female troll Vaare Longfang returned with the most of her party intact. She reported that the Horrors were still present, but they were fewer and less active. An airship was outfitted and an elite crew put together, the command being offered to Longfang. In 1416 the<em>Earthdawn</em>set sail and is gone for almost a year. A battered<em>Earthdawn</em>return, with an exhausted but jubilant crew. The Horrors still linger, but not in great numbers and only in areas of high magic where they can sustain themselves. A jubilant Throal prepare to open it's gates and slowly start reclaiming the world.<br/><em>Earthdawn</em>set sail again in 1418, tasked with finding as many kaers as they can and inform those that doesn't already know that the Scourge has ended. The ship is never heard of again, but despite that Throal opens it's gates in 1420.<br/><br/>Much is changed. Mountains gone, rivers redirected, lakes boiled away, hardly a straw of grass left. Few would have guessed that the world would be green again just a 100 years later.<br/>In 1449 the air armadas of Thera is first sighted over Barsaive in hundreds of years. Great Thera has awoken. The newly appointed Overlord of Barsaive is not greeted with open arms, however. The time between the end of the Scourge and the return of Thera has allowed the people of Barsaive to live free of the Theran yoke, and they liked that taste of freedom.<br/>Overlord Pavelis chose the strong hand over the soft voice, any resistance was swiftly and brutally struck down. People are first reluctant to provoke Theran wrath, but as it become more and more clear they would live their lives as slaves to their Theran masters, the people of Barsaive turn to Throal for help. Surely Throal, who advocated the principles of freedom in the Book of Tommorrow won't abandon them now?<br/><br/>King Varulus III of Throal knew his kingdom would not have any chance against the air fleets and legions of Thera. Together, the people of Barsaive might stand a chance. He sent messengers to the rulers of Barsaive. Together Barsaive must stand free, or fall into oppression and slavery. Though his words stir the hearts of many, the sight of Theran airships raiding and attacking at will stills their actions.<br/>An enraged message from the First Governor of Thera to Overlord Pavelis turns the tide. In it, the First Governor states that every man, woman and child of Barsieve owes their very lives to Thera and the First Governor personally. This blood debt makes all the people of Barsaive the personal slaves of the First Governor, and are his to do with as he wishes. When Barsaivan freedom fighters get their hands on a copy of the message and starts to circulate it, people can no longer turn a blind eye to the choice before them: fight or be enslaved.<br/><br/>The First Governor shifts troops to Barsaive from other provinces, and Pavelis gathered them into the mightiest armada ever assembled. With his army ready, Pavelis moved on Throal. The dwarf kingdom was unprepared to fight the force arrayed against them. The rest of Barsaive was not. Goaded on by the heroes of the time, Barsaive came to Throal's aid. Troll Skyraiders harrased the Theran fleets. T'Skrang river boats ran blockades and intercepted Theran supplies. Ork cavalry and elven archers assaulted supply convoys and basecamps before dissapearing into the night. Windling spies stole into Theran airships and camps to learn their secret battle plans.<br/><br/>Harassed and battered from all sides, Pavelis took a desperate gamble to break Throal's back before the patience of the First Governor ran out. He commited all his forces to a frontal assault on Throal, but as the armada runs the gauntlet on the last stretch of the journey, hit and run fighters manage to cut the armada to half and scatter their supply convoys. Faced with disaster, the Theran armada breaks, and Throal stands firm. The fleet withdraws to their naval headquarters of Sky Point in the south west of Barsaive, where they sit to this very day, holding but a small fraction of Barsaivan soil.<br/><br/>Unfortunatly, after lifting the siege of Throal, the factions of Barsaive returned to bickering and infighting for the next 60 years, their unity forgotten, at least for the moment. In the meantime Mighty Thera licks it wounds, building it's strength. A hundred years has passed since the end of the Scourge, yet some Horrors remain. Now, more than ever, it is a time for heroes."

If not for the rapids, the village would probably have stagnated a long time ago.<br/>About 200 Namegivers live in the village, about twice that if you included the outlying farms and logging camps and the T'Skrang water village. The people are mostly human, with just a handfull of dwarfs, two elves and a (rather large) family of orks. The T'Skrang number almost a hundred. They arrived in the village about 20 years ago and quickly bought out the human fishermen, securing a fishing monopoly. The fishermen were all handsomly rewarded and has pursued other trades since, but some trouble makers can't help but feel resentment against the lizard like Namegivers. Why the T'Skrang decided to move to Whitewater no one knows for sure, but the general rumor mill around the village sounds pretty certain it has something to do with the ruins of an old T'Skrang underwater village just outside of Whitewater, in the middle of the Serpent.<br/>The T'Skrang doesn't actually live inside the wooden palisade surrounding the village. Instead they have built their large communal domes on platforms standing on thick wooden logs in the water, the most remote platform about 20 meters from the shore, the closes near enough that any villager can climb onto it, as long as they don't mind getting their shoes wet.<br/>The Morbaag family of orks provides the village with most of its meat, either with fresh game from the nearby forrest, or from the breading of Bristleback Boars, a kind of boar unique to this part of the world. Since most of the other villagers look down on the orks, partially because of the smell of the pigs and partially because they are viewed as uncivilized troublemakes, true or not, the orks kept to themselves. Their stone longhouse, while barely standing, is large enough to hold the ever expanding family, lies just outside the northern gate, surrounded by pig pens and cold storage houses for the meat.<br/>A mill lies about 30 minutes walk upriver from the village, at the very start of the rapids, harnessing the power of the river. The road there is generally very well kept, so the ox driven carts can get the grain there.<br/>A small temple dedicated to all of the Passions, except the mad ones, stands on the other side of the village green from the inn. The inn is the highest building in the village. The innkeep, one of the fishermen bought out by the T'Skrang, got enough money out of the deal to not only buy and repair the rundown inn, but also add a fourth storey. You would never catch him saying anything bad about the T'Skrang.<br/>The elf, the smith of the village, generally kept to himself after losing his human wife. Everyone agrees he's a pleasant enough chap to deal with though, and people generally goes out of their way to chat with him the few times he visits the inn after the working day is over. Rumors has it that he's been ""friendly"" with alot of women around the village lately, some even married. One generally shouldn't put to much trust into rumors in a small village like Whitewater, but the longing glances most women sends his way as he stands barechested and sweaty outside his smithy suggest there just might be a grain of truth in it.<br/>All in all, Whitewater is a pleasant enough place to grow up in, even though most younglings wouldn't agree since nothing ever seem to happen, the very same quality they'll learn to appreciate once they grow older. Most of them, anyway.<br/><br/>(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g183/SwedishSteel_2006/Bild.jpg)<br/>"

Being assigned as a sentry on a fogfilled evening like this seemed quite foolish to him, but when you were assigned a task by the Women's Council you better complied. On the next platform over stood the dome serving as his niall's hatchery, a niall being the Foundation, the extended family so important to all T'Skrang. Four nialls usually formed a village together. Whitewater could only sustain two nialls, however, so it was questionable if the T'Skrang colony could really be called a proper village.<br/>That would change in the future. He had heard the talk, he knew the two nialls in Whitewater were allied with two more downriver. Eventually the platforms he had knew his whole life would be abandoned and the four nialls finally reclaiming the ruins out in the river. It would take lots and lots of money, however. The towers sticking up through the surface was still intact, but the underwater domes they connected to was not. It would take alot of True Water and True Earth to make the village habitable again, and such rare substances was insanly expensive. They had achieved a great breakthrough though, they had finally managed to gather enough funds to comission the building of a riverboat. The T'Skrang were fenomenal traders and sailors, and it could be argued that a village without a riverboat was no true T'Skrang village at all. Once the boat was delivered, the task of collecting enough money for the repairs should be alot easier.<br/>He looked in the direction of the hatchery. Had he heard something? No male was ever allowed into the hachery, so of course they gossiped wildly about what was going on in there, it was to be expected. His own egg had rested in there once, that was the extent of his knowledge about the hatchery.<br/>Women. Strange creatures, always ready to tell you what to do and give you a nose burn if you didn't do it. Strange then that his four closest friends were women, and soft skins at that. It could seem strange that the four girls had accepted him into their circle at all, but one had to remember that for the first part of their friendship no one had any idea what gender he'd turn out to be, not even himself. Once puberty set in and he gradually became male they had been friends for years, so turning their backs on him was out of the question. Besides, the girls had just reached the age when they started to realize boys might be good for a couple of things after all.<br/>Xholkrox was quite happy with being male, alot less responsibility and less of a need to grow up. Let the women run things, it was as it always had been and the men was fine with it. They were after all not excluded from the possition as riverboat captains, the most coveted possition of all. Once the boat was delivered, he would do what he could to get on the crew. He didn't exactly have the reputation of being a hard worker, and he didn't really have any skills, but few could match him with a bow. A riverboat needed archers, right? To fight of bandits and stuff? Yeah, he was sure they could use a young, brave T'Skrang like him. He almost always did well on the archery competitions the village held when there was a celebration. Sometimes he even won, although a few of Garashna's brothers probably had won more than he had. Or were they her cousins? Sometimes it felt like keeping up with the Morbaag family tree was a fulltime job.<br/>Now he deffinetly heard something. That was a riverboat engine, he was sure of it. He could hear the paddle wheels turning in the water. It didn't seem to be slowing down. They either had a damn fine captain or were suicidal to brave the rapids in this fog. Was that raised voices he heard through the mist? And there, was that the sound of someone falling into the water? He griped his bow tighter. Alot good it would do him though, he could barely see his own hand. He often argued that the bow was superior to a sword, but this time it would fall short. Was that muttered curses he heard? Yes, someone was deffinetly swiming closer. He'd better check it out before he raised the alarm, or he'd never hear the last of it if it turned out to be harmless."

That wasn't exactly a suprise, she was almost always irritated, and when she was not it was often because the irritation had evolved into rage. Only when she spent time with her friends she experienced joy, but if she were to be totally honest her friends also irritated her quite often.<br/>She often found herself cursing the fact she was born as an ork. The looks of suspision and badly hidden scorn was hard to stomach, even worse was when her relatives couldn't help but prove the biggots right. The Morbaags had a horrible reputation as thiefs and troublemakers, but to hear them tell it they were the only honest people in the village. Well, outside the village, they were not even allowed to live inside the palisade, who'd want an ork as their next door neighbour? To show their deffiance, the previous generation of Morbaags had built a stone wall around their large, but barely standing, stone longhouse, to show the villagers the orks didn't need their stupid palisade, they got a wall of their own. That it didn't even reach as high as Garashna's waist seemed to matter little, it was a way to save pride and not really meant to hold of brigands or other threats.<br/>The villagers wouldn't allow them to build inside the palisade, but they sure didn't mind buying their meat. The men of the family hunted in the nearby forest, and the women tended to the families flock of barely domesticated Bristleback Boars. This is what had Garashna irritated at the moment, as it had many times before. She was a better tracker than any of her older brothers, probably the best in the whole family, yet she had to tend to pigs instead of going hunting, just because of her sex! It seemed horribly unfair to her, and it had lead to several violent arguments in the past. And now she had to feed the pigs again, even though it was really G'tchinka's turn. Her younger sister was with child again, the child was probably just weeks away. No one cared to ask if Garashna had plans for the evening, and here she was, getting mud all over the hem of her dress. It was a very plain dress, but the best she had. She was going to meet her friends at the Stone Turtle later. How pleased the humans would be. ""Look at the dirty ork! This just proves what I've been saying all along, uncivilized savages the lot of them!"" No matter that some of the Turtle's patrons wouldn't even know a toothbrush if it jumped up and bit them!<br/>Her friends wouldn't say anything of course, to spare her any embarassment. No one mention the mudy ork! Like they were so perfect. Ariahva and Reyata with their silly rivalry. ""Look at me! Who is prettiest? Who has the sweetest singing voice? Who can turn most heads?"" They were sickingly pretty both of them, and the fact that Garashna had never been drawn into the rivalry made it perfectly clear she couldn't compete. Not that she'd want to anyway, of course not. Who had time to play with her hair untill it was just perfect? Who could waste time on singing? Not Garashna, she had to work.<br/>Ilene had at least got out of their silly competition, wich made it a little more tollerable. When it had been the three of them it had been a nightmare, Garashna had been forced to restrain herself not to wrestle them down on the ground, plant their silly, cute little faces in the muck, see how pretty they were covered in mud! But recently Ilene seemed to seek validation by spreading her leg for every farm boy that crossed her path. Garashna wasn't sure that was any healthier than the rivalry. She guessed Xholkrox was alright though, as strange as he was, always spinning some crazy tale, not caring the least they all knew he was just making it up. She had been told the T'Skrang were like that, always telling tall tales and loving the sound of their own voices. He managed to amuse her from time to time, so she didn't give him grief...much.<br/>Another thing that bothered her was how they treated her like some young kid. Ok, she and Xholkrox was youngest in the group, having lived 16 years. Ilene and Ariahva were 17, and Reyata 20. So what? The two human girls had come of age about a year ago, and Reyata just a couple of weeks ago. Garashna had been an adult for four years now! And still the elf walked around with her nose in the air and acted like she knew better than the lot of them.<br/>Garashna forced herself to calm down. If she allowed herself to get worked up like this she'd be lousy company later, and her friends would snigger. How like the ork to be in a foul mood! Garashna threw away the now empty bucket and climbed over the fence. She was done, now she really could use a pint of Cassange's Old Bitter. She just hoped Ariahva's father would let her in. Her brothers hadn't been causing trouble by the inn lately, had they?<br/>She fixed her dress as best she could and headed into the village. Another reason she had picked her best dress was because it also was the dress that showed the least amount of skin. A few years ago some of the men in the village had taken to whistling after her as she walked by. Damnable humans, mocking her at every turn! Well, they seemed to have stopped with that foolishness ever since she punshed out Barno Cobbler at the spring feast.<br/>What Garashna failed to realize herself was that she had grown up to be a fine woman, with a pretty face that a human could admire despite her tusks, and her strong and atletic body could rival the Passions, her generous and firm breasts an envy of all. But Garashna would not allow herself to see this, in her own eyes she was big and clumsy, not cute and gracefull like her friends. When she was younger, she cried herself to sleep many a night, wishing to the Passions that they would turn her into an elf, or at least a human. She had outgrown such childish wishes, but she still sometimes cursed her fate. To be born an ork...<br/>"

She could walk this road with her eyes closed. She was just happy that her father had let her go, he had been worried about the fog of course but by now Ilene knew just how to wrap him around her little finger. She was the only child of the miller and his wife, that's why she lived half an hours walk from the village, where the river ran wild and powered the mill's big paddle wheel. The mill itself was a rather large and impressive stone building, with thick walls and narrow and deep windows, impossible for anyone but a windling to get through, put perfect to fire your crossbow from at any brigands foolish enough to attack the building. Since Ilene's family lived outside the protection of the village palisade, you could never be to carefull.<br/>Growing up in the mill hadn't been to bad, though it had been lonely for large parts of her childhood. When she was younger she had not been allowed to make the trip into Whitewater herself, so when her parents didn't have time to escort her she could spend days without meeting her friends. Lucky for her, her father loved books and had spent a small fortune to build a nice collection. Ariahva's father had set up a nice and cozy reading room on the second floor of the inn for the guests to enjoy, but even though it had some rare books it didn't come close to the library in the mill. Ilene had spent many lonely days poring over those books, and somehow it had helped.<br/>Of course, these days she was rarely alone, almost as she was making up for lost time. Or maybe it was because she was the daughter of a miller. Five decades earlier the famed elven troubadour Chauncerier had written the song ""The Miller's Daughter"" in honor of a woman he had had a brief, but intense, affair with. The song quickly became a favorite among the commoners of Barsaive, and not only because of the catchy tune or the clever lyrics, but also because of the very naughty way it described the adventures of a woman who's thirst for men could not be sated. Songs and legends held great power in a world so rich in magic. Who knew, maybe Ilene's appetite had something to do with the song and the common perception of what a miller's daughter was like? Or maybe she just was a bit of a slut. These kind of thoughts never burdened Ilene, nor did the gossip around the village. She was young and pretty and men favored her, why not take advantage of her good fortunes? So far she had managed to keep her activeties from her parents, but how long that would last no one could say.<br/>Ilene shivered, the days were getting colder. Yesterday her father had seen a large block of ice float down the Serpent. It used to be that the climate was far to hot for any snowfall, but for the last ten years or so some of the land north of the Serpent had been hit with brief but hard winters. It was the Scourge, most agreed, you couldn't even trust the weather anymore. They could probably expect snow any day now. Ilene hurried on, eager to warm herself by the fire at the Stone Turtle. Maybe she should have put on some more clothes..."

Sometimes her work at the inn was almost to boring to bare. She enjoyed some parts of it, like greeting and entertaining the customers, but tidying up had never been one of her strong points. Her brother was of somewhere, even though he should've been there to give her a hand, probably trying to charm some girl if she knew him correctly. Sometimes she thought Saven might be to handsome for his own good. He always seemed to have his head up in the clouds, leaving her to pick up the slack.<br/>Something caught her attention, a look on her father's face as he stood behind the bar. She knew that look and didn't even need to look around to know what had happened. Some of the patrons had probably paid her behind to much attention as she stood leaned over the table, and now her father had that look that seemed to say he was ready to murder someone any second. Bishon was a big man and worthy of respect, and even though his waistline had grown alot the last few years he still could handle any trouble makers with ease. A good thing then that he was a peacefull man, or more than a few of the patrons at the Turtle would have been thrown out head first. Bishon did not like how some of them looked at his daughter, that much was clear.<br/><br/>Ariahva sneaked up to her small room to change into a nicer dress. Her friends were coming to the inn later, and Reyata would of course wear something spectacular, or at least something spectacular for a small village like Whitewater. Ariahva knew by now that there were some areas she could not hope to compete with the beauty and grace of the elves, so she had to find other ways. It could be argued that Reyata had a more beautifull singing voice than her, but she never put her heart into it as much as Ariahva did, nor did she have the same feel for the music or know as many songs and legends. The beautifull elf had no chance of competing with Ariahva there, so she was looking forward to performing her new tonight, the first song she had written herself. The look on Reyata's face as the room cheered after Ariahva's performance would be priceless, she could almost see it now.

To make matters even more complicated, it was actually the males that produced milk for the young, and this without even having any breasts!

It had not been pretty, she knew that much. The sickness just came out of nowhere and took a heavy toll on the village. The way in wich it seemed to target women and young children made people whisper it was spawned by Horrors, and as far as Reyata was concerned they might very well be right. She knew Garashna's family had suffered greatly aswell, they had lost half a dozen small children, all but one female. The fact that Garashna had even survived showed what a fighter she truly was.<br/><br/>Reyata, being an elf, had been lucky enough to be immune. Her human mother had not been so fortunate. Her father must have known he'd outlive his human bride by as much as a couple of hundred years, but he wouldn't have been prepared for losing her as soon as he had.

In fact, she and her father had just returned from a trip. It seemed that all Elven ceremonies was always conducted in the presence of other elves. Her mother must've been allowed to attend Reyata's naming ceremony, but otherwise the elves kept their ceremonies private from the other Namegiver races. Since Reyata and her father were the only elves in Whitewater, they always traveled to an elven settlement in Glenwood Deep, a trip that took over two weeks there and back again. This always seemed a bit strange to Reyata, since her father never seemed to put much value in elven customs and culture, why else would they live surrounded by humans? She guessed some traditions were hard to break, even for her father. The fact was that she was largly ignorant of elven ways, something that had always sadened her. Everytime she brought up the subject her otherwise happy and kind father got irritated and angry with her and would refuse to talk about it. But there was more than anger, she could also sometimes see a hint of a deep sorrow in his eyes, a sorrow she couldn't even guess the cause of.<br/><br/>Being raised in Whitewater had not been bad though, not at all. She had no trouble finding friends. She knew some of them resented the fact that they hadn't been allowed to attend her comming of age ceremony, especially Garashna she suspected. They couldn't understand.<br/>Being a young elf maiden made her stand out, she was the fairest and most gracefull of all Namegivers in the village, and some people couldn't help but feel jelous. Some thought she believed she was better than everyone else. Well, she was, wasn't she? It was not her fault she was born an elf, people couldn't blame her for that! Ariavha in particular had a hard time dealing with her grace and beauty. The human girl was a natural beauty herself, but had always seemed to feel overshadowed by her elven friend, and they had a rivalry going on that seemed like it could go on for ever. Reyata often found it amusing how hard her friend tried to surpass her, and even more amusing how often she failed. She had one thing going for her though. While it could be argued that Reyata had a better singing voice, there was no doubt Ariavha was the best performer of the two. Reyata shouldn't begrudge her friend that one thing, but sometimes she felt a sting of jelousy as she watched Ariavha perform at her father's inn. She knew it was petty, but she couldn't help it. Hopefully Ariavha wouldn't get a chance to show of tonight. Reyata was going to meet her friends at the inn, she'd better hurry!"

Pondering the thought she came closer to the inn and stopped as she, again, thought she heard Ariavha’s singing voice. Immediately she let go of her thoughts of the boy and concentrated on the voice. Regardless how much luck she had with her… boys she was always jealous of her friend’s capability of singing. Herself tried to avoid to sing as to her she hadn’t it in her. It could be that no-one had taken the time to teach her but in her own mind she hadn’t the talent at all. Instead when it came to such things she kept quiet and held herself in the background letting others like Ariavha or Reyata stand for the entertainment. Even Garashna could sing better than her she thought and pushed the door open to the inn and stepped inside.<br/><br/>Not wanting to draw too much attention to herself, the wrong man could see her and combined with the warmth of what was served in the place wrong words could be spoken, words she didn’t want to hear at this moment… not now… not when she was to meet her friends.<br/>"

At least it was that old liar Talis that was performing and not Avi.

Reyata wondered at her fascination with the village guys, and what it was she saw in them. It was not that Reyata disliked guys, they certainly had their uses, but they always seemed to have a one-track mind, and had a tendency to act silly and competitive around her, and she had noted a couple of uncomfortable moments Ilene had found herself in, and she had to wonder if the moments of stolen pleasure was worth all the hassle...<br/><br/>Perhaps one day she would find out, if she could find a guy that interested her.

She'd practically believe anything you told her, and even at a young age Ari had learned how to trick her so she'd be able to sneak off to see her friends. Her lack of intelligence didn't seem to bother Rose much though, she was probably one of the happiest and most carefree persons in the village. She often invited someone up to the room with her after the bar closed, and some nights Ari could hear curious sounds from Rose's room. Ari's father didn't really aprove, but he was pragmatic enough to realise it was good for buisness. Alot of young men hang around the bar, hoping they would catch Rose's eyes, so she was allowed to carry on. Bishon seemed quite worried his daughter would take after Rose though, so he watched over Ari like a hawk.<br/>""If you want something else, you should really tell me. I don't think Bishon will be very happy with me if his daughter has to server herself on her night off."" Then Rose wandered off, serving pints of foaming ale to some thirsty customers, giggling as one of them pinched her butt as she walked past.<br/>Outside the inn the two T'Skrang were just about to head inside.<br/>""A few human women with nice voices?"" the stranger said. ""If you knew of whom I speak you wouldn't say her voice was nice. You really are no help at all, are you? And if there are women in there who wants to entertain me, I'm sure I can spot them on my own. I make my own fortune, watch and learn, hatchling.""<br/>He swung the door open so it crashed against the door with a loud bang, every head turning to watch what the commotion was. He walked into the inn with a confident swagger, like he owned the place. He spoke up with a loud, booming voice that suprised even Xholkrox who had spent the last several minutes talking to him.<br/>""People of Whitewater, this is a day that will go down in history! Decades from now you will still mark this day as the day your tiny village was graced with the presence of Tinoip'i Nistrim Keliek't Syrtis, for you have never seen or heard a Troubadour quite like me!"""

He couldn't remember a time when she had looked more lovely, the clothe she had picked out complimented each other perfectly, her skin shone with the joys of life, her eyes glistened and gleamed with untold mischief, even her voice sent shivers across his iridescent blue skin.<br/><br/>Only when he realised that all here attention seemed to be fixed on the wandering minstrel did he turn to look at the rest of his friends, with a long silent sigh he remonstrated himself for being so foolish. It was always the same with Ari, ever since Xholkrox had reached maturity and started to notice things about her that he had been blind to before, like how her body curved in all the right places, not like the females in his niall. They were all the same, not one interesting curve among them, he guess that it was probably due to him growing up with his friends that he appreciated them more than his own kind, but it frustrated him that none of them seemed to notice his virtue or regard him more than one of the group.<br/><br/><br/>He could have answered the berating he got from the old T'Skrang, he could have explained to him that aropagoi  had no meaning in a little back water such as Whitewater.

No matter what time of day or night she was around the sun or moon seemed to shine that little bit brighter, the air seemed clearer and his heart always beat that tiny bit quicker. Passing a smile in her direction, in the vain hope that she might notice, Xholkrox wandered over to the table where the rest of his friends were sitting and positioned him self on the bench next to Garashna.<br/><br/>He was grateful that at least she had seemed to notice him, the Orc was another that he had feelings for, her strong body sent chills through him when ever he thought about it, the image of her holding him within the muscular arms of hers was enough to keep him warm on those cold nights on guard duty. Many a night he had fallen asleep afterwards dreaming of her and imagining the things that she could teach him.<br/><br/>""Good evening ladies"" he said as he sat down, nodding a greeting to not only the wonderfully powerful Garashna but also to Ilene. He had heard the rumours around the village about the Millers daughter and had on more that one occasion got into fights defending her honour. He didn't understand why the villagers said she was overly friendly with the men or that she was willing to share her bed with them at the drop of a hat as some said, something that he had tested out more than once. Even when he had dropped his finest hat in front of her she had simply picked it up for him and continued on their conversation as if nothing had happened.<br/><br/>Seeing that every one seemed to have ale instead of him he tried to catch the eyes of Rose, as he held up his hand the T'Skrang smiled at the Orc ""Would you like another Ale, Ilene?. It been too long since I've bought ale for such delightful and beautiful company such as your good selves"" That wasn't exactly true, he had done the same last time they had all been in the Inn and in fact every time they had all been together the young T'Krang had bought them all ale, it was simply what friends did for one another. Smiling at Garashana, Xholkrox wasn't even going to bother asking the Orc. He had learnt his lesson early on, after the first six time of him asking her if she would like an ale and him wandering home with a bruised eye, no it was just safer to by her a drink with out asking.<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Rose wasn't bound by any man nor did she seem to care what people said behind her back. Ilene knew that more or less whispered behind her own by some and she leaned against Rose when trying to learn how to deal with it... not that Rose would give any answers.

He was so handsome this evening and the flushing to her cheeks brightened forcing herself to concentrate on something else but him... which itself was impossible. Somewhere inside she even wished he would walk out from there making it possible for her to think again. Of course he didn't, instead he stroke up to the table and sat beside Garashana. Ilana lowered her eyes swallowing hard hoping that her voice would hold, she would hate it to make a fool of herself in front of Xholkrox. She kept her eyes at the table not looking at anything until she heard his voice asking her if she wanted an Ale. Looking up she made the mistake of looking into his eyes and her tongue thickened and her hands became sweaty.<br/><br/>""Y-yes.""

Her own thoughts probably following the same path his had been going.

As she turned back to the table, her eyes drifted over Ilene, who seemed to have allot of experience in that area. She had wanted to talk to her, but the miller's daughter always blushed and turned away uncomfortably if anyone  brought up the subject. Reya longed to have a private conversation with her, but feared if she pushed the subject she would anger her friend, and she did that on a fairly regular basis without trying.<br/><br/>She turned to Ari and winked at her. She had more in common with Ari then with the others, and at times she felt closer to her, but she was relatively sure the innkeepers daughter had no more knowlege on the subject then she herself had. The man in town, other then being relatively silly, seemed to hear her, as if her beauty somehow made her untouchable. She figured the same would be true for Ari, with the added thing that her father might really do something terrible to the boy who became overly friendly. In true elven way, Reya's father trusted her to make her own decisions on the matter, but she had not been presented with the opportunity to make any mistakes in that respect.<br/><br/>She noticed the waitress, Rose and for a moment her eyes narrowed. She was another considered to be beautiful, and if rumors were correct, had ample opportunities for intimacy. Perhaps she should speak to her. Rose seemed genuinely open and friendly. or might just be to stupid for deception. Although she seemed almost universally ostracized by the rest of the female population of the town, Reya could not help but like the bubbly, energetic woman.

The air at this altitude was freezing, he was glad he no longer had to stand guard at the long watches of the night. Being the captain had it's privileges. He entered his private cabin and sighed in content as the warmth drove away the chill that seemed to have gotten to his very bones. Neftis, his Creanan chamber slave came and took his coat, her exotic olive skin and gracefull movements ever a pleasure to the eyes. Her make up, mainly a blue colored one unique to Creana, enhanced her beauty. She wore little, and what she wore were designed to enhance her attractive attributes, not to cover anything up. Jasaira, his other chamber slave were clad in even less, just a couple of see-through veils. Jasaira was also an olive skinned beauty, though slightly fairer in skin than Neftis, she had long dark hair and beautiful brown eyes. She was from Marac and very skilled at the Dance of the ten veils, the dance that was rumored to leave no hotblooded male unaffected. It was the Maracans that had came up with the tradition of jaraleh, the pleasure slave. When mighty Thera had conquered the province, the concept of jaraleh had spread through the Empire like wildfire. Who said the Therans were to arrogant to learn from others?<br/>The room was warm and comfortable, despite the cold outside. Dycidas sighed in content as Jasaira brought him a cup of Windling Sky Nectar. Dycidas owned a fire elemental in a bottle. It was a small and weak thing, capable of little else than warming a room to comfortable temperatures, but that it did very well. The nectar, the elemental, his expensive furniture, his slaves...they had all cost a furtune, but you had to keep up appearances. That's why he were where he were this cold evening. The Fortinbras family was of the Theran Great House of Medari, the economic powerhouse of the Empire. They had little say in military matters though, the military was in the iron grip of House Zanjan, which had meant that Dycidas had been forced to spend huge amounts of silver to get where he were today, the captain of a Theran<em>vedette</em>. He was expecting a return on his investment, but it hadn't come so far and now Dycidas's personal fortune was severely depleted. It was this cursed province of Barsaive! After the failed siege of Throal the Therans had pulled back to the Vivaine province and their naval headquarters at Sky Point. Now days they did little but patrol the southern reaches of Barsaive, occasionally raiding isolated villages, mainly for slaves. There were very little chances for a shrewd captain to make a fortune in a place like this...<br/>His thoughts were interupted by a young airman who delivered a message from his First Officer. The<em>Vision of Supremacy</em>were now securely hidden away in a thick cloud. Navigating inside clouds were tricky at best, treacherous at worst. It seemed like the elements of air were at it's most foul humor inside clouds. Only an Airsailor Adept could learn to navigate the aircurrents safely. Dycidas was happy he had been able to recruit D'ashelm for the<em>Supremacy</em>. Adepts never came cheap, that had cost him another fortune.<br/>Dycidas poured over his maps. As far as he knew, no Theran vessel had been this far north since the end of the war, he was days from where he was supposed to be. The success of this operation relied on his superiors never finding out what he had been up to. Throal lay way off in the south east, they had been able to navigate past the dwarven kingdom's airpatrols without being spotted. One on one none of the Throal wooden vessel was a match for the<em>Supremacy</em>, carved out of stone as it was, but if they swarmed him...<br/>Another knock, another interuption. ""Captain?"" the young airman said, peeking inside. ""That message you were waiting for?"" Dycidas cut him off.<br/>""Alright, I'll be there."" Grunting, he pulled on his coat again.

It was strange, a T'Skrang airsailor, everyone knew the lizards were mortally terrified of heights. Everyone agreed that D'ashelm must be a little insane to choose this as his profession, but Dycidas was glad to have him.<br/>He walked over to the large scrying crystal in the middle of the room. One glance cleared the room, the only one who remained were D'ashelm who had to steer. This was for the captain's ears only.<br/>""Speak.""<br/>""Everything is proceeding as planned,"" the familiar voice replied. ""You will have your prize by tomorrow night."" Fortinbras nodded. Good news.<br/>""Defenses?"" he asked.<br/>""Town militia and a wooden palisade,"" came the reply. ""But the thing with palisades...they are of very little use if the enemy are already inside them as well."" He gave a short, cruel laugh that made Dycidas frown.<br/>""Stick to the plan. I want a smooth operation. Nothing else matters but my prize. Bring me the girl or it will cost you.""<br/>""Don't worry, captain"" the voice replied, sounding a lot to casual for Dycidas' taste.

She was still somewhat sleepy and a desire of just laying back, resting, bathing in the sun sounded much enjoyable. The thought caused her to hurry up on her steps to hurry further down the path down to the fields that laid a bit further down, maybe she would be able to catch some kissing as yet… if the right person had come out to work already."

He grinned at them, a mischievous sparkle in his eye.<br/><br/>Gara made her way towards the river, she was so close now that she could smell it. And now she heard more than just the song. That was the sound of the mighty paddle wheels of a T'Skrang river boat, no mistake about it. You could not grow up by the serpent and not know that sound. Now she could see it through the trees too. It didn't look like any river boat she'd ever seen. A show boat, it had to be! As colorfull and richly decorated as it was, even for a T'Skrang vessel, it could be nothing else!<br/>One day, or so the story went, a T'Skrang river boat had passed a small, unremarkable river village. The village was not big enough for them to make a stop, but when the villagers heard the T'Skrang crew men sing, as they often did to pass time on their voyages, they shouted out to the boat and asked them to come ashore and sing for them. When the T'Skrang politely refused, they were offered money if they would come ashore and entertain the isolated villagers.<br/>Surprised by the offer, the crew did so, and when they finally left the gratefull villagers behind them, they were baffled over how much silver they had earned! The captain, a shrewd old T'Skrang, pondered on this strange event for the rest of the trip, and when they finally returned to their village he told the Women's Council what he had learned. The next season the boat set out with no cargo in it's holds, instead bringing the best entertainers the village had to offer, and soon the boat was one of the most income bringing on the Serpent. These days several show boats toured the Serpent, but none had made it this far north, at least in Gara's life time.<br/>The boat would surely not try to brave the rapids, half of the decorations would break off and fall into the water as the boat was tossed around. That only left Whitewater, the last port before the rapids! A Troubadour was great news, but a show boat was bound to have more than one, and all sorts of other wonders!"

Although her had mother, the matron of their house, initially pushed for her to become a priestess of Loth, Ildeeh'a had little talent for divine magic, and even less patience for the studies and piety required of such a position, and soon enough, she was allowed to embark on the more primal, and in her case, more promising, path of the sorceress. Her mother's decision proved to be a wise one, and by the age of one hundred and twelve, barely an adult by drow standards, Ildeeh had grown to be a powerful spellcaster. So powerful, in fact, that she was selected to face Lloth's tests.<br/>Illdeeh'a's mother was worried... the tests were never easy, and while not unheard of, it was never the less quite rare for one of her daughter's age to take them... and even rarer for one to succeed. But if she did, it would bring a great deal of prestige to the family, and besides... even she, a matriarch, could not defy the will of their dark goddess. So that very day, Illdeeh'a left the city for her test, promising, with a smirk, to return within hours.<br/>However, in the end, it appeared that her mothers fears had been accurate. A day passed, and then another, and still Illdeeh'a did not return. When, a week later, a guard patrol reported seeing a new drider in the area, she knew for certain... Her daughter had failed the test, and was a drow no more.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/>Nearing the top of a small hill, deep in the underdark, a figure begins to come into view ahead. At first, all that can be seen is the top of her head... snow white hair, hanging straight, if a bit unkempt.... contrasting with dark gray, almost black skin. A smirk forms on the girls face as she sees another approaching, her blood red eyes peeking out from under her bangs. Her upper body comes into view, covered only by a sleeveless sack cloth tunic, torn off just below her breasts. One shoulder is knotted in a rather crude repair, the other is missing entirely. As you crest the top of the hill, however, the sight ahead of you suddenly becomes a great deal more disturbing.<br/>At mid abdomen, the girl's already dark skin quickly turns pitch black... small, stiff black hairs covers her lower torso, even as it shifts backwards. From the waist down, the woman is no drow, possessing instead the body of an arachnid... Eight long, slender legs hold her aloft, and her body seems to be longer then it is tall.<br/><br/>Personality<br/>As a drow, Illdeeh'a was arrogant, her position as the first born daughter of a powerful matriarch, combined with the considerable arcane power she wielded, left her with little need for humility, especially in the status-obsessed drow society. She took what she wanted, said what she liked, and generally, given her situation, managed to get away with it.  As a drider, although she has retained much of her arrogance, her personality has changed quite a bit. For over two hundred years, the majority of her life, she has lived alone in the underdark, an exile from her home... Prolonged isolation tends to have an effect on the minds of sentient creatures, and even driders are no exception.  The underdark is not an easy place to survive on one's own, and before long, she had taken to robbing passing merchants and travelers to survive, with a particular focus on those of her former race. For the first few years, she was cold and efficient, capturing the unlucky victim as the passed by, taking their possessions, and releasing them.  Illdeeh'a preferred not to kill her targets, and was rather proud of her efficiency in doing so... although the thought that releasing one into the underdark alone, with nothing but the clothes on their back, is effectively a death wish, never crossed her mind.<br/>As time passed, however, her loneliness grew, and she began keeping her captives for longer periods... hours, sometimes days, if the mood struck her. No particular harm came to them, and indeed, all she did was talk... As if having another creature to hear her ramblings, even one who was unable to reply, somehow helped to convince herself that she was still sane. Recently, however, Illdeeh'a made the mistake of capturing a messanger in the service of her mother, still a powerful drow matriarch, and holding her for nearly three days. The delay of the rather important message caused a fair deal of trouble, and the woman, neither knowing nor caring if the drider in question was her long lost daughter, elected to order her killed.

She learned quickly, her skills growing in response to her mistress' needs, serving her every whim as she became her eyes, ears, and hands; an invisible fly on the wall.

she normally is armed with cough drops, hot tea, kleenex, and other sundry items packed in a small make-up case to ease any sort of illness she currently has.    At school, her body is hidden by a boy's winter uniform, due to the influence of a certain English teacher (""Like fucking HELL am I going to allow my sister to be in THAT sort of skirt!"") and his brother (""Ichigo-chan gets so sickly, could she wear something that keeps her warm?"").  Nothing like overprotective brothers to get stuck in a stupid boy's uniform.  She still pulls it off, much to the brothers' concern.  She really would like to be in a girl's uniform, but her brothers do have a point...<br/><br/>Now, if only she could talk to a boy without her brothers cracking their knuckles.  As a note/sidebar, it may be possible that the only thing that keeps her brothers from being physically attracted to their sister may be her virginity...<br/><br/><br/>Charismatic Hero Level 5<br/>Hit Points: 14<br/>Age: 16<br/>Starting occupation: Creative (Craft (visual art), Knowledge (art), Spot)<br/>Wealth Bonus: +5<br/>Reputation Bonus: +2<br/><br/>Strength 8<br/>Dexterity 10<br/>Consitution 8<br/>Intelligence 16<br/>Wisdom 14<br/>Charisma 17<br/><br/>Craft (Visual Arts)       8  (+14)<br/>Knowledge (Arcane)        8 (+12)<br/>Knowledge (Art) 8 (+11)<br/>Knowledge (Life Sciences) 4 (+7) X<br/>Diplomacy                 4 (+9)<br/>Gather Information        8 (+13)<br/>Perform                      0 (+5) X<br/>Read/Write Language       2 (English, Korean)<br/>Speak Language            2 (English, Korean)<br/>Bluff                     8 (+11)<br/>Knowledge (Pop culture)   4 (+7)<br/>Research                0 (+5)<br/>Spot                      4 (+6)<br/>Listen                    4 (+6) X<br/>Treat Injury            4 (+6) X<br/><br/>Feats: Simple Weapons, Creative (visual arts, sing), Iron Will, Windfall, Studious, Trustworthy<br/>Talents: Charm (Males), Coordinate<br/>BAB: +2 (Melee +1, Range +2)<br/>Fort: +2, Reflex +3, Will +3<br/><br/>Normal gear: first aid kit, sundry stuff for a student, cell phone, sketchbook, pencils, digital camera, penlight<br/>At home: Piles of books relating to harem mages and other arcane lore, her brothers, materials to make dolls and clothes, desktop computer<br/><br/>Wishlist<br/>Coinless Card<br/>Gashapon Armada Bag<br/>H-book<br/>Glisten Shirt<br/>Linemaker’s Polymer<br/>Oni-Bane Mementos<br/>Otome’s Slip<br/><br/>Draft of the brothers (both level 5 heros)<br/>Identical brothers, both Nisen and Sanro look like a pair of attractive Japanese men in their twenties.  The only physical difference is a pair of freckles on Nisen's left side of his neck, and Sanro possesses three clustered in a triangle on the same spot.  Created by a master Harem Mage and assigned to the mage's daughter, and fed with the mother's experience as she waited to die of cancer.  Four years later, and there is no hint that the Ningyo twins are anything out of the ordinary (though people comment on them being called 'the second and third dolls').  They were both originally Dedicated Heroes, as a nod to their 'duty.'<br/>Nisen, Dedicated Hero 4/ Strong Hero 1<br/>Nisen is a perfect gentleman and something of a homemaker.  He is the one who cooks the most (though he makes his siblings clean a lot), and tends to fret over Ichigo's clothes (he screamed in horror when she first tried on the uniform).  He often invokes the name of his creator when upset or trying to keep the other two in line.  He somehow appears the oldest, especially when he and Sanro look identical (but Ichigo can tell them apart).<br/><br/>Sanro, Dedicated Hero 1/ Fast Hero 2/ Tough Hero 2<br/>Sanro's personality is at ends with his appearance as a bishonen.  He rides his motorcycle to work, he is loud, somewhat obnoxious, smokes, drinks, and very good at his job as an English teacher at the school.  He has a string of relationships, but his devotion to his sister (and making her life a living hell at times, he IS her brother) is unquestionable.  Since the school is one of the best, and Ichigo so bright, Sanro was able to get his sister into the school, though she doesn't live at the school.  Sanro is unaware of the happenings at the school.<br/>"

she’s had her share of back-seat romance.  But she’s not some whore, ready to spread her legs for any guy who winks at her, and she very nearly started a riot when she ground the heel of her shoe on the instep of some dirty old freak who groped her on the subway.  And while she grew up wearing school uniforms, she hasn’t had to wear one since she started high school.  She didn’t remember the pleated plaid skirts she used to wear being quite this short...<br/><br/>And Japan is eyeball-deep in the supernatural.  You’d have to be blind not to see it, and she can’t understand how people can’t not be freaked out by it.  Most of the spirits she’s seen have been fairly tame, hanging around the shrines and playing with fallen leaves.  She thinks she saw a kitsune, but it wasn’t there when she looked again.  So she’s a lot more relaxed than when she first arrived.  Which, as Grammie Bea always said, is when the damned bastards are sure to jump you.<br/><br/><strong>Jessica Kane</strong><br/>Smart Hero Level 5<br/>Occupation: Student<br/>Wealth<br/>BAB +2<br/>Fort +1, Ref +3 (+2 DEX), Will +4 (+1 WIS)<br/>Defense +2<br/>HP 20<br/>AP 7<br/><br/>STR: 10<br/>DEX: 14 +2<br/>CON: 11<br/>INT: 15 +2<br/>WIS: 13 +1<br/>CHR: 10<br/><br/><strong>CLASS SKILLS</strong>(+1 Competence Bonus)<br/>Computer Use<br/>Knowledge (Arcane Lore)<br/>Research<br/><br/><strong>SKILLS</strong>: 88<br/>Read/Write: English (native), Latin, Mayan, Japanese, Spanish<br/>Speak: English (native), Latin, Japanese, Spanish<br/><br/>Computer Use (INT) 4 (+7)<br/>Decipher Script (INT) 4 (+8)<br/>Investigate (INT) 6 (+8)<br/>Knowledge: arcane lore (INT) 6 (+9)<br/>Knowledge: history (INT) 4 (+6)<br/>Knowledge: pop culture (INT) 4 (+6)<br/>Knowledge: religion and philosophy (INT) 4 (+6)<br/>Research (INT) 5 (+15)<br/>Search (INT) 4 (+6)<br/><br/>Drive (DEX) 2 (+4)<br/>Hide (DEX, armor check penalty) 4 (+6)<br/>Move Silently (DEX, armor check penalty) 5 (+7)<br/>Spot (WIS) 3 (+4)<br/>Swim (STR, armor check penalty) 2 (+2)<br/>Treat Injury (WIS) 4 (+5)<br/><br/><strong>FEATS</strong><br/>Combat Expertise<br/>Exotic Weapons (katana)<br/>Personal Firearms<br/>Simple Weapons<br/>Studious<br/><br/><strong>TALENTS</strong><br/>Exploit Weakness<br/>Linguist<br/>Savant (research)<br/><br/><strong>WISH LIST</strong><br/>Ghost Sight Goggles<br/>Linemaker’s Polymer<br/>Oni-Bane Memento<br/>Oni-Bane ribbon (either blue or silver)<br/>silver folding-knife<br/><br/><em>While I imagine Witchbane Rounds are fairly standard tools of her family’s trade, I doubt she brought any with her to Japan, and even if she had, where would she get a gun to fire them?</em><br/><br/><strong>BELONGINGS</strong>(that she’s likely to have at school)<br/>Laptop<br/>Cellphone with camera<br/>Pocket knife<br/>Bokken<br/>Lipstick and other makeup<br/>Small silver crucifix worn around neck<br/>Leather satchel<br/>Pens, pencils, notebooks<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Magic appeals to him, even more than computers used to.  It's a secret and intellectual discipline, practiced in private, that can be turned into temporal power with a little effort.  It's everything computer hacking used to be for him, turned up to eleven.  Of course, there are downsides.  His occult studies have exposed him to the shadow world, that part of the cosmos only visible to some.  It's dangerous, there, and Matt's no warrior.<br/><br/>He's been successful so far.  His studies have progressed rapidly, and he's moved from tiny cantrips on to real dweomers, with the next tier of attainment already so close he can taste it.  He's had some practical successes as well.  There was a showdown between him and the new geography teacher, Mr. Martin, who was doing<em>something</em>to the other members of his class.  After spying, observation, and some research, Matt determined the man was really a low-level monstrosity from the Shadow World, sneaking through to prey on teenagers.  Mostly the cheerleaders, but a few loners.  Matt was afraid he might be next, as Mr. Martin was starting to suspect something.  So, he marshalled what magic he'd managed to learn and confronted the suddenly fanged and red-eyed Mr. Martin, in a midnight showdown set against a strangely twisted version of the High School.  That night culminated in Matt beating him to death with a baseball bat.  The next morning he woke up to horrified janitors and lit-up police cruisers.<br/><br/>Nobody would have believed his true tale, but there was enough extenuating circumstances that he could create a reasonable doubt of self-defense.  And there WAS a girl, obviously deranged, but stating in no uncertain terms that Mr. Martin had attacked her.  Also, after Mr. Martin's body disappeared from the morgue (""Stolen,"" but leaving a trail of bloody footprints), everybody just wanted rid of Matt and to sweep the whole matter under the rug.  His mother, in a fit of national pride, said that only a Japanese boarding school would do to get her son on the straight and narrow.  He's managed to move into a private room in the dorm without too many questions being asked about his stuff, and he's kept his spellbook and bank accounts pretty much concealed.  He's new to Japanese culture, although he knows the language.  He's determined to be less of an outcast here than he was at home, but it's time for his first day of school and he hasn't had as much time to adjust as he'd planned...<br/><br/>So here he is.<br/><br/>Name:  Matt Tatami<br/>Level 5 (Smart 3, Mage 2)<br/>Occupation: Shadow Scholar (Research, Arcane Lore, Gather Info)<br/>Age 16<br/>Half-Japanese<br/>Reputation: +2<br/>Wealth: +17<br/><br/>Str 8 -1<br/>Dex 10<br/>Con 14 +2<br/>Int 18 +4<br/>Wis 13 +1<br/>Cha 10<br/><br/>AP: 8<br/>HP: 32<br/>Attack: +2 (Melee +1, Ranged +2)<br/>AC: 12<br/>F: +3<br/>R: +1<br/>W: +6<br/><br/><br/>Feats:<br/>Simple Weapons<br/>Heroic Surge<br/>Iron Will<br/>Arcane Skills<br/>Spellslinger<br/>Eschew Components<br/><br/>Talents:<br/>Savant: Arcane Lore (+3)<br/>Exploit Weakness<br/><br/>Skills:<br/>Concentration: +8 (+2)<br/>Spellcraft +8<br/>Computer Use +8<br/>Craft: Chemical +8<br/>Craft: Electronic +6<br/>Decipher Script +7<br/>Investigate +7<br/>Knowledges:<br/>•   Arcane Lore +8 (+1) (+3)<br/>Repair +7<br/>Research +7 (+1)<br/>Search +6<br/>Speak Language 3 [English, Latin, Sumerian]<br/>Read/Write Language 3 [English, Latin, Sumerian]<br/>Profession:  Programmer +6<br/>Gather Info +8<br/><br/>EQ:<br/>Spellbook<br/>Messenger Bag (Spell component pocket)<br/>School Supplies –books, notebook, laptop (upgraded +1, broadband)<br/>Really badass cell phone<br/>Honda Silverwing<br/><br/>Elsewhere:<br/>Flash drive hidden in his mattress with backup spellbook<br/>Encrypted file in an off-site server also containing a backup spellbook<br/>Metal Baton under bed (+1 Attack, 1d6-1, 19-20x2)<br/>Deluxe Evidence Kit<br/>Deluxe Electronic Kit<br/>Chemical Kit<br/>Rope, handcuffs, etc.<br/>Extensive Personal Library<br/><br/>Spells:<br/><br/>0-Level (5)<br/>Daze X<br/>Light X<br/>Mage Hand X<br/>Prestidigitation X<br/>Message<br/>Read Magic<br/>Magic ID X<br/>Mending<br/>Alarm<br/><br/>1st-Level (4)<br/>Change Self X<br/>Mage Armor<br/>Magic Missile<br/>Sleep X<br/>Obscuring Mist X<br/>Comprehend Languages<br/>Degauss X<br/>Magic Weapon<br/>Shield<br/><br/><br/>"

his birth.<br/><br/>His mother, Sayomi, had always been sensitive to the supernatural even as a young girl.  She reasons that it was this very trait that attracted oddities to her -- oddities like the monster that attacked and raped her when she was only in high school.  She never knew where it had come from nor what it was exactly, but when she became unexpectedly pregnant, her extremely conservative parents wrote her off as a whore and a lost cause.  No one would believe her story of monsters, and so Sayomi was forced to care for herself and the baby she'd decided to keep.  Her methods of survival were not always decent, but they were honest and she tried to raise Masato as best as she could, being a young, single mother.  She never told her son what exactly had raped her.<br/><br/>But even from birth, she knew that Masato was unusual.  He was always a bit on the large side and his skin was tan enough to almost be red.  His white hair and abnormally sharp fangs did not help his alien appearance any, so Sayomi regularly colored his hair black to help him fit in.  While most of his appearance could be dismissed as traits of a foreign father, however, it was Masato's often violent temper that truly set him apart from normal children.  It was very difficult at first for Sayomi to keep her son in school when he would frequently be suspended or expelled for fighting.  As he matured and saw his mother in constant anguish over his actions, Masato began to realize just how fortunate he was to have someone genuinely care for a freak of nature like himself... and how he was repaying her love by hurting her.  He vowed to keep his temper in check from then on and be the model citizen in school.  While his scholastic achievements were mostly average, Masato was finally able to maintain some sense of stability in his life, much to his mother's relief.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Masato found that his violent nature simply became more pronounced as the years went by.  Eventually, he took to venting his frustrations accumulated over the school day on trees, cars, dumpsters and anything that he could hit hard and repeatedly.  Inanimate objects were just not enough, however -- he wanted to hurt someone.  Masato finally found his relief when he took to beating up petty thieves and any other criminals that he came across in the city.  He especially loved to hurt and emasculate rapists.  Masato's hobby meant that he spent a great deal of time on the streets.  Since his mother worked multiple jobs, she did not often notice how much time he spent in the back-alleys and dark spots of the city.  He kept his urban activities secret from Sayomi, of course -- he didn't want her to worry again.<br/><br/>Masato's ferocity steadily grew over time, as if he'd been born to crush others.  After a particularly intense run-in with some local gang members, Masato was approached by a rival Yakuza boss who offered him a job as a part-time junior enforcer.  Being of questionable morals already, Masato didn't put too much thought into becoming one of the criminals he'd been hospitalizing -- especially if it meant that he could pull some extra money in to help his mom.  In just one year, Masato earned enough money to pay for his high school tuition as well as fake income from an after-school job once his mother finally agreed to let him help her with the money troubles.<br/><br/>Masato's goals are to finish school and enter the work force so that he can take care of Sayomi.  Failing that, he'll keep busting heads and just pretend that he's respectably employed so that his mother can hopefully rest easy and have a life of her own for a change.  As he grows, however, Masato has come to realize that there is something in him that is clawing its way to the surface.  He doesn't quite understand the nature of it yet, but he knows that there have been times when he has become so enraged that he has almost killed people.  Worse, he has noticed that his lust during these states is nearly uncontrollable.  These days, he tries his best to keep away from girls in general, but the same looks that once ostracized him have started to attract some attention.  He is extremely tall for his age and noticeably built.  His exotic skin tone and spikey hair (he colors it something different every other week) only seem to add to his subtle allure and more than a few girls have found him dangerously attractive.  He always scares them off with a few screams and a level of rudeness that he reserves for women, though.  Plenty of the yakuza that he

Going back to his earliest recorded ancestor if there was a Nakamura, they were swordfighters. But the fighting is done these days and Haruki has to worry about his standing as an athlete more than as a fighter. He was what you would call a solid B student, not that that mattered, he had the family gift with the blade. Perhaps, none of his family in recent history were as good as him. He breezed through high school and was accepted into the local Kusai Martial Arts Academy. Life should be perfect...<br/><br/>But Haruki feels wrong. He's almost perfect at what he does but he's feeling like it's all pointless. Practice and school eat up all his college life. He's thinking about moving to America and opening up a studio there to train and maybe get away from the echoes of his hearts longing.<br/><br/>You see, Haru-chan is a hero at heart. He always saw himself as the Samurai of old charging into save the day for his Lord or Lady. He fancies the girls that hang around such an up and coming freshman, but really can't seem to make the time for a real relationship. As time moves on he feels something changing about the world around him. Shadow loom larger, rumors take on new life, his warrior spirit is called to action, even if he's clueless as to what's really going on.<br/><br/>Haru is a bit clueless most the time unfortunately, but at least his hearts in the right place.<br/><br/><em>I'll be around, but I can't post till the afternoon/evenings most the time. Work and all that jazz.</em><br/><br/>Btw, he's going to be wearing Japanese modern save the time he's in his Gi.<br/>(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2058/2278735451_dcccbc0769_o.jpg)"

she has a practiced flair for the dramatic the results in a much showier sense of fashion and more daring way of acting.  The freedom of the mask makes her feel uninhibited and alive, letting her soak up the attention she secretly craves.<br/><br/>Normally, Hikari appears to be a relatively normal sixteen year old girl.  Certainly, she's far bustier than most Japanese girls--or most girls of any nationality her age, and certainly of her body type--and in superb shape due to her gymnastics, but the only tell-tale sign of her heritage (well, aside from her capital-class knockers) is a pair of gold-flecked amber eyes that are questionably abnormal, but most people pass off as vanity contacts.  Of course, when she 'transforms' into heroic self, she tends to go for flashier accents: cat ears and tail, strawberry pink-blonde hair, 'cute' little fangs, and immeasurably long legs that just seem to rise all the way to heaven...  not to mention modes of dress that call more attention to the attributes she had to begin with, like hyper-pleated short (short, short) skirts and curve-hugging corsets.<br/><br/>Not knowing her own heritage, and having nothing better to base her assumptions on than popular Japanese culture (which, as a closet wannabe-idol she absolutely inundates herself with), she's going to assume she's a magical girl when her powers manifest, and try to act the part.  Of course, unlike most 'magical girls', she hasn't been blessed with any means of vanquishing demonic villains, and she probably won't have much luck with her bare hands, regardless of how good they are at pummeling boys who get grabby on dates...<br/><br/>Hikari<br/>Charismatic Hero Level 5<br/>Succubi-Kin<br/>Occupation: Athlete (gymnast)<br/>Reputation +3<br/>Wealth +1<br/>BAB +2<br/>Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +1<br/>Defense +2<br/>HP 22<br/>AP 7<br/><br/>Ability Scores<br/>10 Strength<br/>16 Dexterity<br/>11 Constitution<br/>12 Intelligence<br/>4 Wisdom<br/>18 (22*) Charisma<br/><br/>Talents: Charm (Males), Favor, Captivate<br/>Feats: Junishi Zodiac (Tiger), Brawl, Dodge, Combat Martial Arts, Agile Riposte<br/>Skills: Bluff Rank 6, Diplomacy Rank 5, Disguise Rank 5, Craft (visual arts) Rank 8, Knowledge (popular culture) Rank 7, Perform (dance) Rank 8, Jump Rank 6, Tumble Rank 6, Balance Rank 5<br/>Special: Charisma +4*, Bluff +8*, Diplomacy +8*, Gather Information +8*, Darkvision 60 ft.*, change self at will*, Lustful Translation*, Intimate Hunger*, Racial Weakness (blessed weapons and hallowed ground)<br/><br/>Wish List:<br/>Cosplay Gear/Disguise Kit (fabric, accessories, make-up, etc.)<br/>Cosplay Accessories (anime-type weaponry, gadgets, and other silliness)<br/>Cold Winds Skirt (the defining item in the Magical Girl wardrobe!)<br/>Oni-Bane Memento<br/>Oni-Bane Ribbons<br/>Ghost Sight Goggles (are they available in a fashionable retractable visor?)<br/>Lady Raven Pseudo-Wings (little inflatable plastic cherub wings, not big feathery flying wings)"

the entire affair takes quite a bit of production and is pretty much impossible to miss, and unfortunately most demons are not bound by the Magical Girl Genre Convention of just standing around watching slack-jawed while it happens.<br/><br/>Though she doesn't realize it, the source of Hikari's alternate form tends to bleed through: she becomes even more outrageously curvy and feminine, with both obvious and indefinable features that inspire lust, from an intoxicating and suggestive scent and sultry lips to a certain over-sexualization of even otherwise innocent poses and gestures.  Her form also tends to display certain characteristics that, while normal and even 'fun' to her, are fetishistic to others; habitually, she has cat-like tail and ears, and in addition to her Magical Girl garb might sport such unusual attire as nurse costumes, bunny-girl getups, French maid attire, and the like, albeit with a 'Magical Girl' bent.<br/><br/>Her succubus form, once assumed, can only be reversed if she successfully completes a sexual act.  For this purpose, 'completion' is reliant entirely on her partner's climax; reaching orgasm by or for herself is not sufficient.  Though she isn't currently aware of this fact, it probably won't take even her very long to connect the dots and figure it out.<br/><br/>Hikari's succubus form is extremely quick and fairly capable, sporting several unique features.  Her skin in succubus form is deceptively hard and tough, capable of turning even a blade.  However, the protection does not extend to her clothing, meaning that any successful attack (even if it doesn't do damage) will likely result in a 'Captain Kirk Effect' at best, and 'Comic Costume Damage' in most situations.  A blast of fire or similar attack can easily leave her defrocked entirely, and extremely embarrassed to boot.  A small, invisible personal forcefield also manifests just over the surface of her skin when she first transforms, but if taken down it usually won't reform until the next time she transforms.<br/><br/>She's also capable of limited regeneration while in her demonic form, but true to her succubus nature she requires an unusual ingredient: the coital fluids (semen or female ejaculate) of another individual.  The fluid in question can be on her skin, ingested, or 'injected' through the rather obvious means, but must be in contact with her body, and the strength of her regeneration is directly linked to the quantity thereof.  To regenerate in this way, she generally has to take a breather, and can't be actively engaged in combat or other activities.<br/><br/>The succubus form's true nature is most obvious, however, in the palpable aura of lust it generates.  Those around her tend to experience a heightened state of arousal, which might be subtle at first but can become almost maddening over prolonged exposure.  The aura does not change an individual's orientation or other proclivities, or in any way influence them toward behavior they wouldn't consider on their own, but it can cause them to ignore inhibitions and social norms to pursue sexual interests they already have.  This can make it especially dangerous in crowds, as one or two 'bad apples' responding to the influence of the aura can quickly generate a mob mentality.  Hikari has no power over the aura, or even awareness of it, and cannot suppress or deactivate it in any way while in succubus form.  Worse still, if no one is around her to be influenced by the aura (or those around her are too strong-willed or otherwise immune), it reflects back on her, with identical effect.<br/><br/><em>Daydreamer:</em>Hikari is a scatter-brain, and will sometimes forget where she is and what she's doing, even in the most harrowing situations.  Normally, unless kept actively engaged on a mental or physical level, she will drift off into her own thoughts after a few minutes of inactivity.  Though her succubus form is less prone to this due to its active nature, it's far more likely to be driven to distraction by things of a sexual nature, especially phallic objects.<br/><br/><em>Girl/Guy Magnet</em>represents the fact that she not only attracts a lot of romantic attention--which isn't much of a disadvantage, given the nature of her powers!--but that a<em>lot</em>of it is extremely inconvenient or even potentially dangerous.  Hikari seems to have a special knack for drawing the attention of perverts, sexual predators, obsessive stalkers, and other people who just aren't the sorts you want to have an interest in you.<br/><br/><em>Special Requirement: Sex</em>is just that.  Hikari's succubus side, once awakened, is fairly predictable in its desires and needs.  However, this is less of a physical requirement than an emotional or psychological one; it's more important that she's an object of desire or lust, and a target of perversion, than it is about the physical act.  Like any good succubus, she leads souls astray and tempts men (and women, and maybe some inanimate objects) to impure thoughts, the actual carrying out of such wickedness is almost secondary.  Not surprisingly, this also means that normal, healthy sex in a loving relationship doesn't really meet the requirement.<br/><br/>Unless she's met the requirement recently, she cannot transform into her succubus form.  Moreover, if she goes too long without satisfying the requirement, her other Attributes will begin to fade as well, derived as they are from her latent racial abilities.<br/><br/><em>Nemesis: Yukiko</em>is one of the school's bullies.  Unlike the 'conformity crowd' or the 'popular clique' type of bullies that are more common in female student circles, Yukiko is (for the most part) a lone wolf bully of the traditionalist type, though she's not above enlisting other ne'er-do-wells for the sake of enhancing her already apt bullying.  Yukiko is older than her classmates, bigger, and considerably more aggressive.  She's also a closet lesbian (or at least bisexual) with a lot of pent-up frustration that she's ready to take out on other girls, usually in a mostly-empty locker room or dark equipment shed.  Though not prone toward causing actual, permanent harm, she's certainly not above doling out rough-handling and public humiliation when she feels like it.<br/><br/><em>Nemesis: Prankster:</em>Hikari has attracted the attention of an unknown prankster.  More likely than not, she was merely a target of opportunity to start with, but once the unseen agitator realized how easy it was to pull one over on her, she became preferred prey.  The prankster seems bent on causing her embarrassment on ever grander scale, whether it's by stealing her bra out of her locker before gym class so that she has to go without and then turning on the sprinklers when she's halfway across the field, stitching things on the back of her leotard during gymnastic meets (""What's 'Sperm Repository' mean, and why is there an arrow pointing down...?""), or just sneaking a camera into the locker room and broadcasting her changing over the homeroom 'school news' feed, her invisible tormentor seems to be both diligent and clever in his or her schemes.<br/><br/>Leftover Points: I'm looking to pick up Cosplay, but I'm not sure how to do it.  A minor Power Flux that grants mostly Features and minor Attributes, maybe?"

On the one hand, he has the capability to cause a shocking amount of damage if he wants to - the modern world doesn't have a lot of defenses against his tricks.  If he was underhanded, he could mostly have whatever he wanted.  Charm spells?  Nobody is going to see that one coming.  Mind Control?  Think about it.  He sort of, in his head, tends to think pretty highly of himself just for NOT giving in to all the desires he has and taking what he wants from the world.  In a sense, his own moral code is frustrating to him.  What's the good of not taking what he wants if it just means he isn't happy?  On the other hand, he does feel a duty to protect humanity from the OTHER predators out there.  Maybe because he's just jealous of their freedom, but that's what he does.<br/><br/>He also has trouble with friends.  He's been sent here without any family, he lives alone, and tends to isolate himself.  It's going to be a big deal to him when one of the PCs crosses the line from being a tool, associate, or ally and into the range of friendship.  And anything that seems like a betrayal of that could push him back over the edge (I view this as a positive, drama-producing thing, btw.)<br/><br/>As a side-note, I think he had a friend back in america.  Some kinda geeky-cute girl.  Her disappearance was maybe what drove him to stand up to his own version of Goroi.  And then, of course, he was sent away from her as a reward for standing up and doing what was necessary.  I'm just sort of theorizing about his background, here, but I think she gave him that hoodie before he left, as a sort of going-away present.  So, stuff that reminds him of that will be a big deal.<br/><br/>Any way, thanks again for listening and posting, guys."

She has cut up some of the temporary dolls before, and just before they are due to fade away, she has pretty much killed them and watched the pretty lights go.  She has gotten SOME empathy now and doesn't do it anymore, but she has a bit of a streak still there.  However, she was taught by Ayane that you have to be nice, it makes things easier, and Ichigo believes it.<br/><br/>Finding out that she is half-doll... She actually will recover pretty easily.  It makes sense to her, and it will make her more at ease with herself.  Granted, she won't be too happy about realizing that it is at root of her complacency at times as well, and probably will fight viciously to mask it.  Control over herself will be something that she has to protect, and she may do horrible things to ensure her automony... or someone will have to convince her otherwise.<br/><br/>Hikari and Masato are puzzles to her, that she wants to poke at and see what happens.  Granted, once she learns how to, she will use dolls to push and shove at them.  Matt may play people chess, but Ichigo will just play games using her dolls as proxies.  One can't say who is better...  Ichigo is willing to let her dolls die.  Once she learns what Masato is, she will send a doll to him as a stress valve.  Once she learns about Hikari and her attraction to Sanro...  Let's say things may get strange.<br/><br/>Jessica is a puzzle as well.  Once Ichigo learns about the Catholic rituals, she'll begin asking about them and trying to understand them, to see if she can add more to the Kimekomi archives.<br/><br/>I think that's enough of my rambling."

In the dark lighting of the alley, the detail of that face was difficult to see, but at the table the pale complexion was apparent, as was the short cropped hair, brown to the point of being nearly black, which shaded that complexion. She was not beautiful, but neither was she ugly. To the eyes of a mortal her face was that of an average woman in her late twenties. Staying average was her lifesaver in most cases; that, mixed with her innate abilities of stealth and escape, helped her blend into even the smallest of crowds and become almost invisable.<br/><br/>From beneath the overhang of her dark hair, her eyes, a painfully average grey-green, flicked this way and that. Thin, gloved fingers fidgited with a button of her coat. Nervousness was in her nature, it had been even in her human years, and she never had been good at putting it aside, even in situations where she knew she had temporary safety. Also in her nature, was the tune of her ears, which, very like her bat pet, picked up on several conversations, almost without her realizing. Some people would call it nosiness, she called it caution; if the meeting happened to go sour, she would be one of the first to know, and those "" polite"" ones who didn't listan in would be left behind as she fled.<br/><br/>From the front of her collar, Rikit's favorite perch, a small bat head poked into sight and turned its ears to swiveling.

night a bad man went missing, but, so did a number of the girl with a number’s companions to slack the unholy lust that built within our young woman’s breast.  The beast and the fledgling then, left the camp, her true training was about to begin.  While the world was at each other’s throats, the girl with a number was taught what it meant to be one of the damned, given dark blessings, and became a full fledge member of the Covenant.  She was everything her sire could hope for, a holy woman and a monster, wrapped in the form of a war ravaged young woman, a creature of beauty if one could look passed what the camp had done to her.  She was given a name, her former slipped from her mind, she became Rebecca Nehashim, or Rebecca of the Burning Vipers, a reference to creatures sent from God when the Israelite began to look fondly upon there days in bondage..<br/><br/>The girl seeing the dark heart of humanity was easily able to take up her role as divine predator of God, her and her sire, showed the people of Berlin the terror of what roams the night, all while the Americans approached, ready to bring the Fuhrer to his knees.  When the Americans came, the divine beasts went with them subjecting a a group of soldiers to the viniculum.    They were soon brought to the prosperous nation, they fed, growing strong on the vitae of sinners, they would have left the saints in tact, but nowadays...  No saints wander the streets, everyone is a sinner in their own right, the human’s were a smorgasbord for the divine dead.  Of course, no such companion ship lasts long amongst the dead, Rebecca and her sire parted ways...  She was growing older, soon only the blood of the damned would slack her thirst, and she had no such urge to deprive the world of an exquisite divine beast.<br/><br/>Rebecca soon took up residence in Seattle, and quickly made a name for herself as a woman who was good...  Perhaps to good, at acting as a confessor, and an inquisitor when necessary.  She seems to take no great joy from her charges suffering, reciting mantra’s to the Dark Legionaire all while she flays flesh from sinners bones.  Recently, she has taken a childe of her own, hoping for forge her into another holy monster.<br/><br/><br/>Equipment:  Great Ax (5L 9 again)  Stakes,  Long sword (3 L) Ropes, barbed wire,  crucifix,  straight razors,  dentist chair,  metal operating

Believed everyone was basically good. She just moved to the city Seattle  from her small southern town. After finding out that she has a half-sister in Seattle (RubySlippers character), and determined to meet her, she uses that as motivation to pack up and move to Seattle.  She wanted a change of pace and to make her own way in the world and not depend on Daddy's money. Working as a waitress and going to college part time. She's an excellent swimmer and is learning martial arts in a self defense class, as well as having a small handgun for protection. A small town girl, in a big city, trying to make it own her own.<br/><br/>Recently, Gabby stumbled upon something she wasn't supposed to see. A vampire (Stevej101's character) killing a human. Now she get strange feelings that someone or something is following her. She found an invitation that was slid under her door, that is to some sort of club. The invitation stated..""Your presence is requested and that her appearance is very important. Either come or face the consequences, whatever they may be. Make your decision Wisely.""  So what else was she to to, but go? Only, she didn't realize how much her life was going to change because of her decision..."

Cold places where any sense of human warmth seemed to have been sucked clean from the air. She would have ended up as just another disenchanted soul but for the kindness shown to her by a prospective adoptive father, a man with near two decades of experience with the police force and for the first time she was shown compassion and understanding as he took her under his wing and gave her a taste of happiness that a family life could bring, something she had barely known in her life to this point.<br/><br/>However, this was cruelly taken from her... Whilst attending a callout at an attempted robbery he was gunned down and despite every effoet made to save him, he spent his final hours in the hospital, his life painfully ebbing away from him before the peace of death took him, all of this she witnessed at his side, burning the image deep into her mind.  Although she had been his only named beneficiary and he had seen to it that she would want for nothing material, none of it mattered, all she took was the simple crucifix her wore around his neck... its gold surface faintly flecked crimson<br/><br/>With a barbers knife she took to lacing her own skin with its unforgiving edge, an effort over time, to drive out the pain and emptiness she felt.  Her right arm becoming a roadmap of her pain and suffering.  It would have all been lost to her but for her wanting to perhaps see some good come from the existence of the only person who had ever shown her compassion.  Though the reasoning was unknown to her at the time, she naturally graviated towards the field of forensic sciences, her dispassion towards the brutallity she faced on a daily basis both enthralled and somewhat sickened her colleagues.  It was during her time working with the MPD that she began to uncover clues to her past hidden deep within the vaults of the unsolved cases... The single survivor of a family that had been masacred and slain at the hands of unknown assailants, leaving a child covered in the lifeblood of her family, having bore witness to the ordeal that had near shut down her mind.<br/><br/>With this revalation of her past she felt an even deeper hatred for the humaity, and took the step of moving from her home town to Seattle after taking advantage of a transfer to the forensic's department, hoping to be finally able to put her past behind her and perhaps forge some new life in its stead... but she could do little to escape the memories and demons of her past, they seemed to haunt her at every step.  Her life was to alter its course dramatically when she recieved a call out to attend a murder scene.<br/><br/>The scene was unlike any she had come across before, an orgy of pure barbarism and cruelty yet seemingly conducted with a sure and steady hand, the skin so perfectly flayed from the bloodied body that hung before her, its face so perfectly etched into a deepening mask of torment.. its unfortunate soul perhaps locked in some similar pose.  She couldn't help but feel a certain appreciation to the work before her... She was unaware of the presence behind her until the last moment, she felt a dread flow across her as her shadow fell, with her heart pounding she turned to face her...<br/><br/>It was in those dark eyes.. within the searing embrace, that she was offered a simple choice.  She hadn't known what had stayed her, only that she had been afforded something few had... the choice was a simple one... to taste the nectar of death and be cast into the world beyond this one, or to bridge the void, to accept the dark gift of unlife that she promised to her.  Her choice was simple... Her eyes met with her rich allure, caught by the pull of the dark fire that blazed within her, she gave a soft smile... a delicately whispered word and then she closed her eyes, giving herself over to the rich curtain of sensations as she shrugged of the bondage of mortality and welcomed her dark promise.<br/><br/>Keisha has given herself over completely to the dark holy teachings of her Sire with a singular aim of embracing all that she can impart to her.<br/><br/><br/>Equipment: Scalpels with a range of blades from PM24 to PM60 used in full body disection.  Street forensic kit with crime scene tools and assorted blood detection/anaylsis kits and syringes, portable UV light source, barbers razor laced with dried blood, A Colt SAA, Forensic whites, Crucifix, Street clothing, butterfly knife, an old Mustang<br/><br/>Short Term Goal: Gain understanding of the principal belief's of the Lancea Sanctum and to excel in her Sire's teachings<br/><br/>Mid Term Goal: Gain acceptance by the Lancea Sanctum<br/><br/>Long Term Goal"

She had no choice but to turn to thievery and stealth to survive. Her life was stable, but unfufilling. She soon found her hands snapping up more then just food. Money in her pockets became a common thing.<br/><br/>She stole not only money, but items which she sold for money. By the time she reached her twenties she had managed a stable place of rest and a vast knowledge of the city streets and escape routs. She still wasn't where she wanted to be, but for what she had, she was content, and didn't expect to get much more, not without the risk of overstepping her boundries and getting caught with her pockets full. She settled into a steady routine, a habitual rout which offered her a steady cash flow.<br/><br/>It was in the mid of one such rout that one unknown variation disrupted that routine. One of the wealthymen she commonly snipped from had a guest over at the time. The man was slender and soft eyed, by all visable accounts a simpleton in human standards, as she had judged her targets for all those years. She had little worry about him. It wasn't until after the grab, when she had returned to her shelter to count her findings, that she was met in her room by a disturbingly familiar silhouette in the dark. Reea was stealthy, but not not nearly as stealthy as a vampire.<br/><br/>The vampire knew her potential, she could bring him great things if he could get her on his side. What he said to her was a mixture of a choice, and a threat; join him and learn, or refuse and be turned in. She knew the fates of thieves. What she didn't know, was what her fate would be should she accept, could it possably be as bad as death? She had only one way to find out. She accepted. With his fang she developed strength she never knew possable, and with his teachings her skills as a sneak reached levels unbelievable to one born of weak human blood. She was greatful to him at first, and served him with loyalty, but she had no freedom of her own, and her pride bucked at that realization. After years of trying to ignore the fact, she could no more, and in a move of pure desperation, she took flight into the darkness. It wasn't until she had slowed down enough to think that she realized what it was she had done, at which point the exhilaration of her escape turned into terror. Weather he followed her as solidly as her nightmares detailed, she couldn't possably know that, but her flight carried her hundreds of miles, over the ocean, and ultimately, to the streets of Seattle.<br/><br/>She started over, reestablished a routine and a cashflow, claimed a small but secure haven of her own in the deeper levels of a modified factory celler; with her paranoia,  it never felt good enough, there was always one crack too many, one shadow too dark. It was a working progress which she would probably never let up on. It was this very paranoia which guided the flashes of her eyes and her feet, always quick to escape. Maybe she would relax, but she wouldn't dare relax too much. Rikit helped. The bat was new to her--having lived in the celler when she discovered it--but it was intelligent, and with her blood, it was undoubtably loyal. Rikit picked up on Reea's emotions, and with it his ears never stopped twitching. If something came, Rikit would know. Reea put a level of security in that.<br/><br/><strong> Belongings:</strong>Crossbow, throwing daggers, her pet bat, velvet gloves and soft shoes for silence, as well as ridged shoes for climbing and running. Clawed gloves for eased climbing, as long as the surface isn't completely smooth. In her bag she contains a thin but long trenchcoat, as well as a hood, neither of which is meant for protection from the elements, but for hiding her identity when she's out prowling. She carries in her pouch, a fistfull of stun-bombs in case she's spotted, which dont use light or heat, but a loud sound to stun and buy her a few seconds of escape.<br/><br/><strong> Short Term Goal:</strong><br/>--Get better equipment.<br/><br/><strong>Mid Term Goals:</strong><br/>--Set to memory as much of this new city as her eyes can take in, and solidify her knowledge of hide holes and escape routs.<br/>--Acquire a larger herd and better secure her haven.<br/>--Secure her position as a sneak and find some loyal clients, or a solid single client to link herself to.<br/><br/><strong> Long Term Goal:</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong> Pet </strong><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Rikit<br/><br/>Discipline: Celerity"

She managed to get through school without getting expelled by a combination of clever hiding of evidence, and a cute look whenever suspected of anything.<br/><br/>By the time Katrina was 19, she had joined a small gang, and was pinching whatever she could lay her hands on. However things changed when she tried to steal an antique statuette from a strange lady.

The next few days are a blur for Katrina, composed mainly of blood, pleasure and dead bodies.<br/><br/>And that was the start for Katrina. For the next four years she became the lady’s servant, slave and disciple. She was trained as a Khaibit, her mentor teaching her everything about the vampire line, and her new skills. However it was far from a perfect existence. Her mistress made sure that she knew her place, and Katrina was repeatedly abused. Eventually she managed to escape the villa, and she immediately got on a plane to America, to remove herself from her former mistresses territory.<br/><br/><strong>Short Term Goals</strong><br/>Get a contract<br/>Feed<br/><br/><strong>Medium Term Goals</strong><br/>Find a Haven<br/><br/><strong>Long Term Goals</strong><br/><br/>"

Each type of attack features one of the statistic 'corners' Strength, Intellect, or Grace, and one additional statistic.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The first stat is the primary one, and decides what sort of defense the target uses. Strength is defended by Physical Defense, Intellect by Mental, and Sensual by Grace.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The attacker adds her stats to a d100 roll and compares the result to the target's defense for that type of attack. The results are as follows:<br/><br/><br/><br/>Attack is lower than Defense by 25 or more - Miss, no damage is dealt.<br/><br/>Attack is lower than Defense by 1-24 - Blocked Hit, deals only 1/8th damage<br/><br/>Attack is equal to or greater than Defense - Hit<br/><br/>Attack is greater than Defense by 40 or more - Devastating Blow, Deals 1.5x damage<br/><br/><br/><br/>A roll on the extremes of the d100 results in a special effect. A roll of 1 on the die results in a Total Miss, the attacker misses her attack, but her opponent's next attack now deals 1.5x damage.<br/><br/><br/>A roll of 100 results in a Critical Hit, a very powerful blow that strikes so perfectly as to deal horrendous damage. A Critical Hit multiplies the damage dealt from an attack by 2x.

Perhaps a single cup size in bust increase or decrease, a change in coloration to one's skin or hain, or the addition of a vestigial bodypart such as small horns, or cat ears. Can also be used to drop the esthetic (but not staistical) effects of a humiliation by one level. A Level 0 transformation is applied with a Fighter's first win or loss and every three wins or losses after. (IE after the 4th, 7th, 10th, etc win/loss) Strangely enough,  Futaforming can occur at this level.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Level 1:</strong>A larger change that can widely alter a Fighter's appearance and may begin to start affecting her mind. While the selection of animal features at Level 0 might cause the appearance of animal ears, markings, or a tail, a Level 1 change includes all those attributes, the development of vestigial claws, the growth of animalistic fur or scales on the hands, feet, forearms, and calves, as well as making the individual behave a bit more animalistic. Futafication is a Level 1 change, however Futaformations rules allow it to be inflicted upon a Fighter's first loss. Other changes might be a increase of several cup sizes in the bust and slightly increased sexual desire, the alteration of feathered wings into membranous wings (or vice versa), the addition of a new appendage of a large, singular nature or a pair of smaller appendages (tiny wings, or small, additional arms). A Level 1 transformation is applied after a Fighter's second win or loss and every three wins or losses after. (5th, 8th, 11th, etc)<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Level 2:</strong>A massive change throughout the entire body or mind that produces a change so widespread as to warrent a statistical alteration. A Level 2 transformation manifests as a 1 point bonus or penalty to a stat, or as a 2 point enhancement to one stat offset in part by a 1 point penalty in another, or as a 2 point penalty to a single stat with a 1 point bonus in another. Using examples from the previous levels, this would result in either breasts of a new unnatural perfection in size and shape, or hooters so overly large that they hamper movement. Either way the bonus is to Charm and the penalty (is applicable) is to Grace. A change of an animalistic nature is applied to the entire body and can turn a normal human to a low grade anthro, with the bonuses being to Strength, Endurance, or Grace, and the penalty being to Intellect. The addition of full sized, functional limbs can also be added, granting a +1 bonus to a stat. A Level 2 transformation is applied after a Fighter's third win or loss, and every multiple of three thereafter. (3rd, 6th, 9th, etc)<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Level 3:</strong>The most powerful, and least often seen of all the transformations. A Level 3 transformation produces effects that can alter both the body and mind to an extreme degree, and as a result are often the cause of a Fighter being 'Zeroed.' A Level 3 transformation is what freed fighters both strive for and fear. A Level 3 Enhancement adds a +2 bonus to a single stat, +1 to two, +1 to three with a penalty to one, or +3 to one stat and -1 to another.. A Level 3 Humiliation is the inverse, -2 to a single stat, -1 to two stats, -1 to three and a bonus to one, or -3 to one stat and +1 to another. A Level 3 change can turn a scrawny weakling into a tone athlete, a human to a centaur, an anthro world into a feral wolf, or any other of a wide number of effects. A Level 3 change occurs when a Fighter shows a strong inclination for winning or losing. A Level 3 transformation replaces the one of a lower level that would be earned when a Fighter acquires three straight wins or losses and has fought at least 6 battles. The earliest a Level 3 change can occur is after the 6th fight. After a Level 3 transformation, the win/loss 'counter' resets. A Level 0 transformation always follows a Level 3 if a fighter continues to win or lose and will occur again after another 3 fights. (IE 6, 9, 12 straight wins or losses)<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Zeroing</strong><br/><br/>Zeroing is the term for the process that occurs due to the transformational magic involved in The Arena when a number of humilations have built up to the point where a Fighter is reduced to zero in a single stat. When this occurs, a Fighter finds themselves transformed in a major way. In The Arena a Zeroed fighter is unable to fight for their freedom, instead they must fight to regain themselves, all wins earned towards freedom are negated,  and current wins are not added,  once the character's state is brought above zero once more they can begin the long hard journey to freedom once more.<br/><br/><strong><strong>Zeroed Strength</strong> - Shade -</strong>A Fighter with no Strength becomes an incorporeal shadow of her former self, unable to touch anything in the physical world save for when the magics of the arena. Some stablemasters purposely create shades of their Fighters in order to create stealthy spies.<br/><br/><strong>Zeroed Endurance - Undead -</strong>A Fighter lacking Endurance transforms into an undead, the skin becoming a pale white and the eyes turning red. Their biological processes cease, though they still remain alive. Undead, of the Futaformations type, are tireless, needing no sleep, rest, food, water, or air. They don't rot, fall to dust in sunlight, have an aversion to holy water, or any of that sort of thing. At least to start with, who knows with the changes that can be wrought? Unscropulous stablemasters will sometimes purposely transform their fighters into Undead in order to have ceaseless laborers, sex slaves, or athletes.<br/><br/><strong>Zeroed Grace - Object - </strong>A Fighter with no grace finds themselves completely unable to move, her flesh transformed into a solid substance, be it stone, plastic, latex, wood, metal, or cloth skin stuffed with cotton. The Fighter becomes an immobile object that somewhat resembles her former self. When left alone they are completely immobile, though when other people are around they have some control of their bodies, though they can't move themselves from the spot they were last left. They retain all thought processes and sensations. Particularly cruel stablemasters will simply place an Objectified fighter some place and leave them their as a decoration.<br/><br/><strong>Zeroed Charm - Thrall -</strong>A Fighter with no Charm is not a complete lout, as one would expect. But rather they lack any concept of the self or personality. They have no drive save for that which they are given by others. A Thrall will do what is needed to continue their existance, but nothing else unless told to by another individual. Thralls are emotionless and completely obediant. Unfortunately some stablemasters enjoying having followers around who will perfectly follow every order and seek to purposely create Thralls.<br/><br/><strong>Zeroed Intellect - Feral - </strong>A Fighter with no Intellect is a creature that acts purely on instinct. The process of Zeroing leaves them with no sentient mind, but filled with bestial instincts, half-remembered feelings, and a powerful sense of loyalty to their owner. Ferals behave on a level with somewhat smart, well trained animals. Drives to eat, sleep, and mate fill their minds. Some stablemasters seem to collect individuals that have been purposely put into this state, as Feral Fighters are still fully capable of using Physical and Sensual attacks to their fullest, keeping the more exciting fighting abilities, while retaining perfect loyalty to their stablemaster.<br/><br/><strong>Zeroed Spirit - Zombie -</strong>No, not the rotting, shambling corpse. A Fighter with no Spirit is more like the original Voodoo interpretation of the Zombie. A living breathing individual whose soul is claimed by another, and must act according to the owner's wishes until they can retrieve their severed soul. While some magics lessen, the Zombie is preferred by most stablemasters who collect Zeroed fighters due to the retention of intelligence and vitality. A fighter still lives and can still act on their own, but a Zombie cannot raise a hand or disobey their master.<br/>"

Enough to create a human-ish looking anthro with only a small muzzle and vestigial fangs and claws. Transformee also begins to develop additional animalistic mentalities, senses, and instincts related to their chosen form.<br/><br/><strong>Level 2:</strong>High grade physical change resulting in a 50-50 hybrid of the fighter's form before choosing this trait and his chosen animal form. This results in digigrade legs, fully functional claws and fangs, and a more feral stance.<br/><br/><strong>Level 3:</strong>High grade physical change resulting in a massive alteration of the body and stance. The Transformee shifts in size a great deal towards the size of her chosen animal, also gaining the primary method of locomotion. Having her legs replaced with a serpent's tail, gaining fully functional dragon or bird wings that allow flight, a shift in size closer to that of a bovine of elephant, or something that requires a great deal of additional mass, like a tauric lower body all fall under this category.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Well Endowed</strong><br/><br/>A bit of a boost to the bust, or a few more inches where it counts<br/><br/><strong>Bonus:</strong>Charm or Endurance<strong>Penalty:</strong>Grace or Intellect<br/><br/><strong>Level 0:</strong>A small boost to the particular areas of anatomy related to sex. At this level the boost is good for a cup size or a few inches to the organ(s) desired to be boosted<br/>.<br/><strong>Level 1:</strong>A higher level boost to the aforementioned areas. This results from going from an average size, to a quite stunning one, or from underdeveloped to a little bit bigger than the normal. Perhaps adding several inches to a member, or several cup sizes to one's bust. This also has the effect of increasing lust, desire, and arousal.<br/><br/><strong>Level 2:</strong>The subject's desired aspects increase to levels of largeness and perfection at the absolute peak of their natural development. When combined with earlier levels, this can result in gravity defying bosoms, a member so large that it ought to be uncomfortable. Multiple levels of Well Endowed can result in aspects that are better looking or more functional than biology ought to allow.<br/><br/><strong>Level 3:</strong>Also known as the 'hyper' setting for this Transformation. The subject's chosen aspects increase beyond a size where they ought to be able to without causing severe consequences on the subject. Breasts the size of beachballs on a 5 foot individual ought to have such a weight balance as to tip her over and give terrible back problems. A cock bigger than one's leg and balls the size of a bean bag chair would make it almost impossible to move, or make the subject pass out from the sudden shift in blood flow. With this Enhancement, such individuals can move around without any ill effects.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Multicock</strong><br/><br/>Adding a new member or two.<br/><br/>(May also be used as Multicunt)<br/><br/><strong>Bonus:</strong>Charm or Endurance<strong>Penalty:</strong>Grace or Intellect<br/><br/><strong>Level 0:</strong>Hemipenis or Cock-warping. the subject's cock splits down the middle, developing into two identical members originating from the same point. This isn't a true second cock, as both climax at the same time. This change also result in an increase in semen production, so that each split delivers a full sized load. Cock-warping is the alteration of a bodypart, usually the tongue or tail, into having a phallic tip.<br/><strong><br/>Level 1: </strong>Additional cock or Cocktentacles. This results in a true second member, independant of the first, that climaxes independantly and has a seminal source all on its own. Alternately this may result in the addition of a pair of cocktentacles to the subject's body.<br/><br/><strong>Level 2:  </strong>Multicock or Cocktentacles. Multicock results in the addition of several new cocks appearing on the subject's body. More often seen as a Humiliation than and Enhancement, an application of Multicock may result in a line of members down and opponent's spine, uncomfortable and rather difficult to hide dicknipples, or a large cluster of phalli between the legs that makes individual use and penetration difficult. When used to apply cocktentacles, this level grants up to six of them on an individual, or results in several large ones.<br/><br/><strong>Level 3:</strong>Disfugration. Existing solely as a Humiliation, as only a disturbed individual would purposely chose such a change for herself, results in the transformations of a large number of the subject's body parts into phallic structures. Fingers and toes become tipped with member, cocktentacles sprout from the back, and the subject's primary member may lengthen to obscene size. Cruel foes utilize this Humilation on a zeroed opponent to create fearsome sex monsters.<br/><br/><strong>Something Extra </strong><br/><br/>Addition of an extra body part, or the placement of something new.<br/><br/><strong>Bonus:</strong>Any<strong>Penalty:</strong>Any<br/><br/><strong>Level 0:</strong>A small, simply addition to the body. Horns, a tail, a third eye, an additional breast, etc. Any small scale change that doesn't have much of a difference on the subject's body overall.<br/><br/><strong>Level 1: </strong>A large, functional addition to the body. This may add a new appendage of a large, singular nature, or a pair of smaller ones. This could be a third arm, a thick lizard-like tail, a pair of small, secondary arms, or a pair of small wings that are of a size that can be used only for gliding.<br/><br/><strong>Level 2:</strong>The addition of appendages that could greatly influence and individual's function. Full sized wings, an additional pair of arms equal to the original, additional legs resulting in a sort of shortened humantaur, or the addition of another pair of legs to a creature with a quadrupedal gait all fall into this level.<br/><br/><strong>Level 3: </strong>A widespread change to the body that results in completely altering the subject's function. Transformation from a human to a centaur, feral dragon to anthro dragon, feral animal to anthro humanoid, or anything of the like is a level 3 change.<br/>"

Did they really have to come all the way over to Daron with both the maiden wagons? As if the route wasn't long and boring enough already. Maybe it was just her bad luck to be enrolled all the way back at Corinth, having to endure the caravan travelling around the entire nation. Visiting new places could be interesting, but not if one could only watch those places from behind bars.<br/><br/>At least she had something interesting to watch at as time passed by and more maidens were loaded into the wagons. Tucking her curly blonde hair behind her ears, she glanced over the women, about a dozen, that were stocked like cattle behind iron bars. The guards did not permit them to speak with each other, but they were allowed to seek physical comfort, and another maiden, younger than herself, was resting against her side, her head leaning against the blonde's wellrounded bosom. Zoe gently caressed the side of the maiden that was hovering between sleep and aware, occasionally coping a feel of her roundings, smaller than her own, as the hand moved forth and back.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the girl against her side was fully awake, as something had put the caravan in an uproar. As panic struck, they could see the large red scales of the behemoth living in the southern mountain blinking in the light of the sun, as it descended on the caravan, knocking over the other wagon of maidens that was right behind them. As she could see the ceiling crack open, followed by the maidens that poured out, running for their lives on the road to freedom, the horses of their own wagon staggered and bickered, before they fled in panic. The two soldiers riding on the front of the car did their best to control them, but couldn't prevent how the horses ran at the forest in sheer panic.<br/><br/>The wagon bounced around as the horses fled between the trees, tilting forth and back after every brute contact with a tree. After several such connections, the wagon tilted over and fell on it's side. The horses whinnied as they were pulled along by their harnesses, but were no longer able to set the wagon adrift. The sudden motion had knocked some of the maidens out cold, while the soldiers were tossed a couple of yards off the wagon and were now slowly regaining their senses.<br/><br/>The bruised and battered wagon received several cracks from the savage treatment it had to endure. Zoe didn't hesitate and stood up, flinging herself against the ceiling, which, after already being torn in different directions, easily gave way and tore off the bars that connected it to the ground. As she wiggled herself through the opening, the soldiers suddenly noticed what was going on and yelled at the maiden to stop in her tracks as they drew their weapons."

Her hair frames a delicately featured face: finely arched auburn eyebrows, wide kohl lined hazel eyes with thick curly lashes accenting them, a lovely nose to suit her features, and pouting rose bud lips that are a natural dark pink colour. Her skin is flawless save for some fine white scars on her thin hands, and one under her chin. Her delicate skin is extraordinarily soft to the touch, and is the palest shade of alabaster white.

Esme was one of the younger siblings, and has seen many of them wed, and brothers all help with the farming. After the death of her mother, and eventually her father, the elder brothers realized that Esme was more of an expense than anything else. She was not needed  considering they had wives. All of the chores Esme had could be done by their wives, and too, marrying her off to the half-elven ranger she liked would have an extra expense of a dowry. It was her one brother whom suggested that she was a lovely girl, and that maybe the king would take interest in her as a wife.

She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.<br/>• +1 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.<br/>• +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks.<br/>• Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-elf is considered an elf.<br/>• Automatic Languages: Common and Elven. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).<br/>• Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass half-elf takes an experience point penalty, her highest-level class does not count.<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<br/>Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with light armor and shields (except tower shields).<br/>Favored Enemy (Ex): At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature from among those given on Table: Ranger Favored Enemies. The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of this type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.<br/>At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy from those given on the table. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by 2.<br/>Track: A ranger gains Track as a bonus feat.<br/>Wild Empathy (Ex): A ranger can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.<br/>To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.<br/>The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.<br/>Combat Style (Ex): At 2nd level, a ranger must select one of two combat styles to pursue: archery or two-weapon combat. This choice affects the character’s class features but does not restrict his selection of feats or special abilities in any way.<br/>If the ranger selects archery, he is treated as having the Rapid Shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.<br/>If the ranger selects two-weapon combat, he is treated as having the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.<br/>The benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor.<br/>Endurance: A ranger gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 3rd level.<br/>Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.<br/>The rogue’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.<br/>Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.<br/>With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.<br/>A rogue can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.<br/>Trapfinding: Rogues (and only rogues) can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20.<br/>Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.<br/>Rogues (and only rogues) can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.<br/>A rogue who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with her party) without disarming it.<br/>Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.<br/><br/>Favored Enemy: Humans<br/>Combat Style: Ranged<br/><br/>Weight Allowance: 33 light, 66 medium, 100 heavy, 200 lift, 500 push/drag<br/>Money: 44 gold, 8 silver, 0 copper<br/><br/>Gear:<br/>Mithral Shirt<br/>Shortsword<br/>Light Hammer<br/>Handaxe<br/>Composite Longbow (masterwork)<br/>60 arrows<br/>Noble's Outfit<br/>Signet Ring<br/>Backpack, empty<br/>Bedroll<br/>Chalk, 6 pieces<br/>Flint and Steel<br/>Grappling Hook<br/>Manacles<br/>Mirror, small steel<br/>Pouch, belt<br/>Tent<br/>Trail rations, 6 days<br/>Rope, Silk (50 foot)<br/>Waterskin, 3<br/>Whetstone, 2<br/>Sunrod, 4<br/><br/><br/>Note:<br/>""Layana""<br/>1st level Half Elven female Druid (purchased for 200gp)<br/>STR 8,DEX 15,CON 14, INT 10,WIS 13,CHA 12<br/>Skills: Heal 4 ranks +5, Knowledge (nature) 2 ranks +2, Survival 4 ranks +5, Spot 3 ranks +4, Listen 3 ranks +4<br/>Feats: Endurance<br/>Spells: 3 (0 level), 2 (1st level)<br/>Normal Spell List: Create Water, Purify Food and Drink, Know Direction (0 level); Entangle, Obscuring Mist (1st level)<br/>Animal Companion: Wolf<br/>Leather armor, sling with 90 stones, shortspear, scimitar, signet ring, belt pouch, bedroll, backpack, Healer's Kit, Holly and Mistletoe, 6 days trail rations, 2 waterskin."

petitioning the creator of the race to make use of the Ritual of Words Made Flesh to increase the hold over this particular Prime World, after of course cultivating the existing humans present to be optimally receptive to the Ritual.  While few of the members know of the intent to create more Illuminans through a means other than breeding, they are more aware of the intent to guide the development of humanity in the area, asserting control and insinuating themselves into the lives of the locals.<br/><br/>LineCrafter Zulsaran's training has made him a perfect agent for observation and manipulation, with signs indicating that he will perhaps become even more suited for the unfortuntely necessary task of pruning the resulting population in the event of the surfacing of undesirable traits.<br/><br/>Strength: 12 (+1)<br/>Dexterity: 17 (+3)<br/>Constitution: 10 (+0)<br/>Intelligence: 12 (+1)<br/>Wisdom: 8 (-1)<br/>Charisma: 12 (+1)<br/><br/>Hit Points: 20<br/>Initiative: +3 (+3 dex)<br/><br/>Armor Class: 16<br/>Touch Armor Class: 13<br/>Flat-footed Armor Class: 13<br/><br/>Fort Save: +1<br/>Ref Save: +7<br/>will Save: +0<br/><br/>Base Attack Bonus: +3<br/>Short Sword: 1d6+1 (20/x2)<br/><br/>Skill:                   Total   Rnk     Stat    Msc<br/>Appraise                 1        1.0      0        0<br/>Balance                  10       5.0      3        2<br/>Bluff                    1        0.0      1        0<br/>Climb                    4        4.0      1        -1<br/>Concentration            0        0.0      0        0<br/>Control Shape            -1       0.0      -1       0<br/>Craft (Poisonmaking)     8        8.0      0        0<br/>Craft (Untrained)        0        0.0      0        0<br/>Diplomacy                1        0.0      1        0<br/>Disguise                 5        4.0      1        0<br/>Escape Artist            11       8.0      3        0<br/>Forgery                  0        0.0      0        0<br/>Gather Information       3        2.0      1        0<br/>Heal                     -1       0.0      -1       0<br/>Hide                     11       8.0      3        0<br/>Intimidate               1        0.0      1        0<br/>Jump                     2        0.0      1        1<br/>Listen                   -1       0.0      -1       0<br/>Move Silently            12       8.0      3        1<br/>Perform (Untrained)      1        0.0      1        0<br/>Ride                     -1       0.0      3        -4<br/>Search                   4        4.0      0        0<br/>Sense Motive             1        2.0      -1       0<br/>Sleight of Hand          10       7.0      3        0<br/>Spot                     -1       0.0      -1       0<br/>Survival                 -1       0.0      -1       0<br/>Swim                     1        2.0      1        -2<br/>Tumble                   9        6.0      3        0<br/>Use Rope                 7        3.0      3        1<br/><br/>Languages: 3<br/>Common<br/>Elven<br/>Illuminan<br/><br/>Feats:<br/>Subtle Sigil<br/>Simple Weapon Proficiency<br/>Weapon Finesse<br/>Armor Proficiency: light<br/><br/>Racial Abilities:<br/>-+2 Saves vs. Spells with the shadow descriptor.<br/>Final Utterance (Ex)<br/>Glyphic Resonance (Ex)<br/>Illumian Words (Su)<br/>Luminous Sigils (Su)<br/>Power Sigils (Su)<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<br/>Evasion<br/>Proficiency: Armor, Light<br/>Proficiency: Rogue Weapons<br/>Proficiency: Simple Weapons: All<br/>Sneak Attack +3d6<br/>Trap Sense +1<br/>Trapfinding<br/>Uncanny Dodge<br/><br/><br/>Money: 1 gold, 0 silver, 8 copper<br/>Weight Allowance: 43lb light, 86lb medium, 1305lb heavy, 350lb lift, 825lb push/drag<br/><br/>Gear:<br/>Arsenic                   1   120 gp   (0.00)<br/>Machete                 2    5 gp   (4.00)<br/>Backpack              1    2 gp   (2.00)<br/>Medium-Size         1     150 gp    (0.00)<br/>Spider Venom<br/>Blue Whinnis (4)   1     480 gp      (0.00)<br/>Pole, 10-foot        1           2 sp   (8.00)<br/>Bracers of Armor  1   1000 gp     (1.00)<br/>+1<br/>Portable Poison    1       75 gp    0.00)<br/>Well (5)<br/>Claws of the        1          5 gp   (1.00)<br/>weasel<br/>Rations, trail         1   50 sp   (10.00)<br/>(per day) (10)<br/>Razor disks (5)     7           5 gp   (7.00)<br/>Rope, hemp        1           1 gp   (10.00)<br/>(50 ft.)<br/>Dagger                 1       2 gp    (1.00)<br/>Sap                       1   1 gp   (2.00)<br/>Dagger, leeching  3   10 gp   (3.00)<br/>Soap (per lb.)         1   5 sp   (1.00)<br/>Explorer`s outfit     1    10 gp   (8.00)<br/>Studded leather    1      25 gp   (20.00)<br/>Garrote, wire      1   2 sp   (0.25)<br/>Sword, short             1   10 gp   (2.00)<br/>Knife, throwing    1   1 gp   0.50<br/>Thieves` tools         1   30 gp   (1.00)<br/>Knife, throwing       24   1 gp   (12.00)<br/>Waterskin (full)          1   1 gp   (4.00)<br/>Locksmith`s tools      1   5 gp   (5.00)<br/>Whetstone          1   2 cp   (1.00)<br/><br/>"

Womanly curves bless her body, but perhaps more obvious than that would be the muscles running along strong limbs and her torso. Her copper hair reaches to well past her waist, though it’s nearly always kept up in some sort of bun, braid, or combination of the two. Her clothes usually tend to find themselves in the form of thin brown leather breeches, a green tunic and a brown vest, enabling her all the more to blend in with her surroundings, while soft leather boots make it easier to move without a sound.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>The youngest of seven children, and the only girl, Ilynara was raised the best as a man with six sons and a daughter could. Her mother had died when Ilynara was a young child, and since then she was well guarded and well taught how to protect herself. Each of the men in her family seemed to be more geared towards fighting with bows and swords, while Ilynara and her mother were gifted with something less... Noticable from the outside. She can still swing a sword if she has to and is quite a shot with her bow, but she leans towards the more mindful of things. While she doesn’t overly go out of her way to help others, she would die for her family, and is always ready for a good adventure. She doesn’t like to back down from fights, no matter who started them, finding a good brawl is fun and needed from time to time.<br/><br/>Strength: 16 (+3)<br/>Dexterity: 16 (+3)<br/>Constitution: 10 (+0)<br/>Intelligence: 6 (-2)<br/>Wisdom: 14 (+2)<br/>Charisma: 16 (+3)<br/><br/>Hit Points: 17<br/>Power Points: 6<br/>Initiative: +3 (+3 dex)<br/><br/>Armor Class: 13 (10 +3 dex), +1 dodge<br/>Touch Armor Class: 13 (10 +3 dex), +1 dodge<br/>Flat-footed Armor Class: 10 (10)<br/><br/>Fort Save: +3 (+3 base +0 con)<br/>Ref Save: +4 (+1 base +3 dex)<br/>will Save: +3 (+1 base +2 wis)<br/>+2 vs Enchantments<br/><br/>Base Attack Bonus: +2<br/>Grapple: +5 (+2 bab +3 str)<br/>Melee Attacks: +5 (+2 bab +3 str)<br/>Ranged Attacks: +5 (+2 bab +3 dex)<br/><br/>Skills: 6 (1 per level)<br/>Appraise: -2 (-2 int)<br/>Autohypnosis: +8 (+6 ranks +2 wis)<br/>Balance: +3 (+3 dex)<br/>Bluff: +3 (+3 cha)<br/>Climb: +3 (+3 str)<br/>Concentration: +0 (+0 con)<br/>Craft (Other): -2 (-2 int)<br/>Diplomacy: +3 (+3 cha)<br/>Disguise: +3 (+3 cha)<br/>Escape Artist: +3 (+3 dex)<br/>Forgery: -2 (-2 int)<br/>Gather Information: +3 (+3 cha)<br/>Heal: +2 (+2 wis)<br/>Hide: +3 (+3 dex)<br/>Intimidate: +3 (+3 cha)<br/>Jump: +3 (+3 str)<br/>Listen: +4 (+2 wis +2 misc)<br/>Move Silently: +3 (+3 dex)<br/>Perform (other): +3 (+3 cha)<br/>Ride: +3 (+3 dex)<br/>Search: +0 (-2 int, +2 misc)<br/>Sense Motive: +2 (+2 wis)<br/>Spot: +4 (+2 wis +2 misc)<br/>Survival: +2 (+2 wis)<br/>Swim: +3 (+3 str)<br/>Use Rope: +3 (+3 dex)<br/><br/>Languages: +2 (+2 base)<br/>Common<br/>Elven<br/><br/>Feats:<br/>Dodge<br/>Weapon Focus: Longbow<br/>Point Blank Shot<br/>Precise Shot<br/><br/>Racial Abilities:<br/>Low-Light Vision<br/>Immunity: Sleep Effects<br/>Keen Senses: Hidden Doors<br/>Weapon Proficiency: Long sword, Rapier, Longbow, Short bow<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<br/>Powers<br/>Bonus Feat x2<br/><br/>1st Level Powers: (3 known, DC 13)<br/>Call Weaponry (EPH82) - 1 pp, 1 round, material, DC13, 1min/level, augment: +1 enhancement bonus per 4 pp.<br/>Inertial Armor (EPH113) - 1pp, 1 standard action, visual, DC13, 1hour/level, augment: +1 armor class per 2 pp.<br/>Precognition, Defensive (EPH124) - 1pp, 1 standard action, material and visual, DC13, 1min/level, augment: +1 armor class per 3 pp, swift for 6 pp.<br/><br/>Money: 0 gold, 0 silver, 0 copper<br/>Weight Allowance: 76 light, 153 medium, 230 heavy, 460 lift, 1150 push/drag<br/><br/>Gear:<br/>None besides the clothes she's wearing."

Well muscled, tanned, and often completely shirtless. Blonde haired and blue eyed, gives him a sunny sort of look.<br/><br/>He wears a padded breastplate when not on the water, the only thing covering his upper body, although he does keep a shirt tucked away in his backpack in case the weather gets terribly cold. He also wears a Large freely moving pair of brown pants, held firm by a belt loaded with nets, fishing tools, and his trusty trident.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>Born as the only son of a fisherman and a tavern maiden, Marvin looked up to his father immensely. When his father never returned from a fishing trip into kobal lake when he was 16, he joined the men on their next voyage to try and avenge his father and capture the great beast of the lake that had taken him under.<br/><br/>Marvin's adventures on the lake proved highly perilous, most men in his profession had a life expectency that could be measured in weeks, even less for those who were new to the hunt, but whether by innate talent, or just a whole lot of luck, Marvin managed to survive time and again, more than once he was the only man to return from a particularly vicious encounter with a beast of the lake, and several times being pulled from his ship to battle with a monster in it's watery domain before swimming to safety. He gained himself a small reputation as a risk taker, a reckless man who would brave any challenge to reach his goal, and this caught the attention of one of the hunters of kobal who, out of curiosity decided to tag along for a fishing trip. There he witnessed the fighting style Marvin had developed for fighting on the seas and realized it could be useful for capturing humans as well. This is how he became involved with the hunters, receiving jobs from them while the fishermen of kobal recovered from their battles. Picking up horsemanship quite easily once he started working on land, and eventually obtaining a mount of his own.

Her hair frames a delicately featured face: finely arched auburn eyebrows, wide kohl lined hazel eyes with thick curly lashes accenting them, a lovely nose to suit her features, and pouting rose bud lips that are a natural dark pink colour. Her skin is flawless save for some fine white scars on her thin hands, and one under her chin. Her delicate skin is extraordinarily soft to the touch, and is the palest shade of alabaster white. Only when she is very warm from overexertion, or by embarrassment, is there the slightest hint of pale pink to her cheeks. Her body is perfumed with the faintest scent of rose water.<br/><br/>Her voice is tender to listen to, sensual and soft, and her spirit is rather carefree in nature.<br/><br/>Esme’s clothing is a simple loose flowing gown that oddly enough hide her curvaceous and feminine body with the exception of the cinched waist and the low scoop neckline that reveals a young firm rounded bosom. Her feet are bare, preferring to it to the confines of shoes.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>On a farm between Solvess and Ponder, where Esme was born, she grew up there amongst her family; eight siblings overall with tired, but fairly hardy parents. Esme was one of the younger siblings, and has seen many of them wed, and brothers all help with the farming. After the death of her mother, and eventually her father, the elder brothers realized that Esme was more of an expense than anything else. She was not needed  considering they had wives. All of the chores Esme had could be done by their wives, and too, marrying her off to the half-elven ranger she liked would have an extra expense of a dowry. It was her one brother whom suggested that she was a lovely girl, and that maybe the king would take interest in her as a wife. According to the half-elven ranger whom Esme loved, she still was a maiden, and the men, including the ranger, devised a plan to split the King's gold between them if the King took a liking to Esme. Her fate was sealed from that day forward.<br/><br/>Strength: 8 (-1)<br/>Dexterity: 14 (+ 2)<br/>Constitution: 12 (+ 1)<br/>Intelligence: 12 (+ 1)<br/>Wisdom: 10 (+ 0)<br/>Charisma: 18 (+ 4)<br/><br/>Hit Points: 12<br/>Initiative: 2(2 dex)<br/><br/>Armor Class: 12 (10 + 2 dex)<br/>Touch Armor Class: 12 (10 + 2 dex)<br/>Flat-footed Armor Class: 10<br/><br/>Fort Save: 2 (1 base + 1 con)<br/>Ref Save: 3 (1 base + 2 dex)<br/>Will Save: 3 (3 base + 0 wis)<br/><br/>Base Attack Bonus: 1<br/>Grapple: 0 (1 bab -1 str )<br/>Melee Attacks: 0 (1 bab -1 str)<br/>Ranged Attacks: 3 (1 bab + 2 dex)<br/><br/>Skills: 24 (4 per level)<br/>Bluff: 10 (6 ranks + 4 cha)<br/>Concentration: 10 (6 ranks + 1 con +3 Misc)<br/>Diplomacy: 6 (0 ranks + 4 cha + 2 misc)<br/>Disguise: 6 (0 ranks + 4 cha + 2 misc)<br/>Intimidate: 6 (0 ranks + 4 cha + 2 misc)<br/>Knowledge (arcana): 7 (6 ranks + 1 int)<br/>Sleight of Hand: 4 (0 ranks + 2 dex +2 misc)<br/>Spellcraft: 7 (6 ranks + 1 int +2 misc)<br/>Use Magic Device: 6 (0 ranks + 4 cha + 2 misc)<br/><br/>Languages:<br/>Common<br/>Elven<br/><br/>Feats:<br/>Skill Focus Concentration<br/>Combat Casting<br/>Eschew Materials<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<br/>Weapon Proficiency: simple<br/>Spells<br/><br/>0th Level Spells: (5 known, 6 per day, DC 14)<br/>Prestidigitation<br/>Detect Magic<br/>Read Magic<br/>Light<br/>Daze<br/><br/>1st Level Spells: (3 known, 6 per day (charisma bonus), DC 15)<br/>Mage Armour<br/>Magic Missile<br/>Charm Person<br/><br/>Weight Allowance: 26 lb light, 27-53 lb medium, 54-80 lb heavy, 160 lb lift, 400 lb push/drag"

(The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.) If the spell requires a material component that costs more than 1 gp, you must have the material component at hand to cast the spell, just as normal.)<br/>Sacred Healing (As a swift action, you can expend a turn undead attempt to augment your ability to tend to the wounds of others. You gain a +5 bonus on Heal checks and a +2 bonus per die on the damage healed by any conjuration (healing) spells you cast. This benefit lasts until the end of your current turn.)<br/><br/>Racial Abilities:<br/>Immunity to magic sleep effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.<br/>Low-Light Vision: An elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.<br/>Weapon Proficiency: Elves receive the Martial Weapon Pro­fi­ciency feats for the longsword, rapier, longbow (including composite longbow), and shortbow (including composite shortbow) as bonus feats. Elves esteem the arts of swordplay and archery, so all elves are familiar with these weapons.<br/>An elf who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it. An elf’s senses are so keen that she practically has a sixth sense about hidden portals.<br/><br/>Favored Class: Wizard. A multiclasself’s wizard class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing (see XP for Multiclass Char­acters, page 60). Wizardry comes naturally to elves—indeed, they sometimes claim to have invented it, and fighter/wizards are especially common among them.<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<br/>Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Clerics are proficient with all simple weapons, with all types of armor (light, medium, and heavy), and with shields (except tower shields).<br/><br/>Aura (Ex): A cleric of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity’s alignment (see the detect evil spell for details). Clerics who don’t worship a specific deity but choose the Chaotic, Evil, Good, or Lawful domain have a similarly powerful aura of the corresponding alignment.<br/><br/>Spells: A cleric casts divine spells.<br/><br/>Spontaneous Casting: A good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that the cleric did not prepare ahead of time. The cleric can “lose” any prepared spell that is not a domain spell in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name).<br/><br/>Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can’t cast spells of an alignment opposed to his own or his deity’s (if he has one). For example, a good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a good deity) cannot cast evil spells. Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaos, evil, good, and law descriptors in their spell descriptions (see Chapter 11: Spells).<br/><br/>Turn or Rebuke Undead (Su): Any cleric, regardless of alignment, has the power to affect undead creatures (such as skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and vampires) by channeling the power of his faith through his holy (or unholy) symbol (see Turn or Rebuke Undead, page 159).<br/><br/>Knowledge Domain: You cast divination spells at +1 caster level.<br/>Magic Domain: Use scrolls, wands, and other devices with spell completion or spell trigger activation as a wizard of one-half your cleric level (at least 1st level).

Red hair that shimmers in the sunlight, hanging to the small of her back in normally tightly woven weave, though when loosened curls almost riotously. Green eyes peer intelligently between slightly upturned eyes, her ruddy cheeks a perpetual rosiness that had she remained with her people she surely would have endeavored to hide.<br/><br/>Her body was slight of frame, muscular from years spent on her own, but not overly lined that her feminity was lost.

Her family unfortunatly had many girls, and most of the family close friends had already taken one or more of the girl-children in. Thus it was with great reluctance that her father agreed to give her to a stranger clan.<br/><br/>Faced with the thought of their youngest sister being given to strangers, unable to think to trust these strangers to their sister's well being her two older brothers smuggled her out, giving her many supplies and sorting out plans on how to stay in touch so that should she need them she always had the care that a female Halfling should have.<br/><br/>From the onset of puberty Violet lived alone with nature, meeting wtih her brothers, but accepting their help less and less as she slowly grew attached to the woodlands that were now her home. She knew every rock, every twig, and every nook and cranny that the woods had to offer.<br/><br/>Unfortunately one of her brothers got into a mess of gambling debts owed to a particularly voracious hunter of living trophies. When forced with the decision of his life or information, her brother sold her whereabouts to the hunter. Knowing he would fetch a fair price for a rare halfling female slave he made short order of heading out.

Standing 6,3 feet tall and weighing 191 pounds without his armor he even looked impressive not equipped in battle-armor.<br/><br/>This giant of a man is covered in mail armor and he has an impressive steel shield attached to his back. On the side of his belt was a broadsword, his face looked battle-hardened and he was a proud owner of a stubble, only making him look more scary combined with his posture and equipment.<br/><br/>The only thing that softened this man's appearance up were his light brown eyes, which stood out from his dark skin and black hair.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Born and raised in Xerinos David Castro was born in family renowned for it's better-than-average armor, crafting was something that was in David's blood. In the course of the years as he grew up, David became aware of the advantages his body brought with it. His interests in becoming a fighter grew when he saw the guards walk around with impressive shields and armor.<br/><br/>After alot of intensive training David's muscles and reflexes had improved drastically. Rather than focussing on offensive abilities he trained his defensive ones. He trained for years untill he finally came to the point that he felt his shield and sword were a physical extension of his actual body.<br/><br/>Rather than becoming a guard David became a mercenary, people payed well for someone who would take the punches and felt genuinly safe around his presence. There was never a dull moment in his life, as soon as one job was finished another ten would pop up.<br/><br/>This time was no exception, he had just returned from an escorting mission to relax in Kobal City and someone contacted him. Apparently it were royal troops who requested help, reason enough for David to immediatly make his way towards them. The reward they would have for him would probably be worth more than five more regular missions. They were going to Zanghar, not needing to know more he instantly prepared to travel behind him and eventually catch up with them.<br/><br/>Strength: 18 (+4)<br/>Dexterity: 16 (+3)<br/>Constitution: 12 (+1)<br/>Intelligence: 13 (+1)<br/>Wisdom: 8 (-1)<br/>Charisma: 8 (-1)<br/><br/>Hit Points: 37<br/>Initiative: +3 (+3 dex)<br/><br/>Armor Class: 22 (10 +4 armor +5 shield +3 dex), +1 Dodge<br/>Touch Armor Class: 13 (10 +3 dex), 22 vs Bull Rush, Disarm, Grapple, Overrun and Trip, +1 Dodge<br/>Flat-footed Armor Class: 19 (10 +4 armor +5 shield)<br/><br/>Fort Save: +5 (+4 base +1 con)<br/>Ref Save: +4 (+1 base +3 dex)<br/>will Save: +0 (+1 base -1 wis)<br/><br/>Base Attack Bonus: +5<br/>Grapple: +9 (+5 bab +4 str)<br/>Melee Attacks: +9 (+5 bab +4 str)<br/>Ranged Attacks: +8 (+5 bab +3 dex)<br/>Weapon Attacks: Bastard Sword (+5 base +4 str +1 misc)<br/>Weapon Damage: 1d10 +4, 19-20/x2, Slashing<br/><br/>Skills: 32 (4 per level)<br/>Appraise: +1 (+1 int)<br/>Balance: -2 (+3 dex -5 acp)<br/>Bluff: -1 (-1 cha)<br/>Climb: +2 (+3 ranks +4 str -5 acp)<br/>Concentration: +1 (+1 con)<br/>Control Shape: -1 (-1 wis)<br/>Craft (Armorsmithing): +7 (+6 ranks +1 int)<br/>Craft (Other): +1 (+1 int)<br/>Diplomacy: -1 (-1 cha)<br/>Disguise: -1 (-1 cha)<br/>Escape Artist: -2 (+3 dex -5 acp)<br/>Forgery: +1 (+1 int)<br/>Gather Information: -1 (-1 cha)<br/>Handle Animal: +5 (+5 ranks -1 cha)<br/>Heal: -1 (-1 wis)<br/>Hide: -2 (+3 dex -5 acp)<br/>Intimidate: +7 (+8 ranks -1 cha)<br/>Jump: +2 (+3 ranks +4 str -5 acp)<br/>Listen: -1 (-1 wis)<br/>Move Silently: -2 (+3 dex -5 acp)<br/>Perform (other): -1 (-1 cha)<br/>Ride: +9 (+4 ranks +3 dex +2 misc)<br/>Search: +1 (+1 int)<br/>Sense Motive: -1 (-1 wis)<br/>Spot: -1 (-1 wis)<br/>Survival: -1 (-1 wis)<br/>Swim: -3 (+3 ranks +4 str -10 acp)<br/>Use Rope: +3 (+3 dex)<br/><br/>Languages: 2 (+1 base +1 int)<br/>Common<br/>Feline<br/><br/>Feats:<br/>Exotic Shield Proficiency<br/>Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword<br/>Weapon Focus: Bastard Sword<br/>Shield Specialization<br/>Shield Ward<br/>Dodge<br/><br/>Racial Abilities:<br/>Bonus skill point per level<br/>Bonus feat<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<br/>Light Armor Proficiency<br/>Medium Armor Proficiency<br/>Heavy Armor Proficiency<br/>Shield Proficiency<br/>Tower Shield Proficiency<br/>Simple Weapon Proficiency<br/>Martial Weapon Proficiency<br/>Bonus feat x3<br/><br/>Money: 6 gold, 8 silver, 8 copper<br/>Weight Allowance: 100 light, 200 medium, 300 heavy, 600 lift, 1500 push/drag<br/><br/>Gear:<br/>6 lb   Bastard Sword<br/>25 lb   Chain Shird<br/>25 lb   +1 Extreme Steel Shield of Heartening<br/>Explorer's Outfit<br/>2 lb   Backpack<br/>5 lb   Bedroll<br/>3 lb   Winter Blanket<br/>Flint and Steel<br/>7 lb   Trail Rations x7<br/>4 lb   Waterskin<br/>1 lb   Whetstone"

She swalloed a rapidly forming lump in her throat and turned her head to regard the othwr woman while Anastaius spoke.<br/><br/>She couldn't believe that the mere words ofthis man could affect the wild woman who had been her fellow captive, but somehow she had been drugged, or something had addled her mind. She had been so docile, yet now the woman began to fight again. Then, as if a fire suddenly quenched by a drought of icy water, the woman fell obedient again at the man's mere words. Mohini gasped in astonishment as she watched the Amazon impale herself on her captor's hard shaft, heard the terrible cry of her innocence stolen away. Mohini turned her head away from the sight, her mouth still hanging open in shock and looked up at Anastasius, studying him, her eyes full of questions. How could his words command her? Was he some kind of sorcerer? Could he do the same to her, and could she resist if he tried? Mohini stared, the questions to which she had no answers to burning in her mind.<br/>"

Still, she was in control, and if he would not undo the irons around her ankles, there was little she could do. Even if she murdered him, she could not escape quickly enough.

There, the plan will be unveiled; up to this time, if anyone had been working towards this goal, they either did not realize it, or their efforts were too small to matter. We're talking about taking out an entire small religion, here, after all. This is a large scale organized plan, and all the specifics will be laid out in my first three posts of the game. I'm waiting for one more character to be finished, DreadD's Psion, before I start things up. The assumption is that, while most people harbor an animosity towards Skarthul, or have other motivations, none of them had conceived a plan of this scale, before, or, if they had, didn't have the resources and the connections to pull it off. The latter part, there, is solved, allowing this plot to begin.<br/><br/>Make sense?

Most arrived within a week of the date, trickling in from all corners of the world, dozens upon dozens of beings. All were met at the front gate, greeted with open arms, at all hours of the day, regardless of reputation or appearance, and informed of the rules of the manor; Do not harm the other guests, under any circumstances, do not damage the property, do not disturb the master, and prepare yourself for a journey.<br/><br/>All guests would be informed of the facilities available; a comprehensive library, including of spells, a training facility for the martially inclined, and other relaxing features for other guests. Each would have their own room, lightly furnished, and usually accommodating their specific needs, if required. There are surprisingly few conflicts, despite the fact that paladins walk the halls openly with demons and devils. What few disagreements erupt into battle there are, they are either quickly ended by bystanders, or the lord of the manor, a silent, stoic, imposing figure, rarely seen for more than a moment, stops all combatants with a word, a glare, or, if needed, a spell.<br/><br/>The evening of the appointed date, all were gathered in the main hall, nearly a hundred in total, all awaiting the great announcement that brought them all here.

He looks around the room, at some of the more powerful people on Solith. Heroes and villains, champions, scoundrels, sell-swords, even a few some might consider monsters. An unlikely crowd.

She continued her personal ritual to the nature god, dedicating her sacrifice, before pulling a knife out, and drawing the blade along the inside of her arm. The thick, crimson blood dripped down her arm, to group on her claw-tips, and then fall onto the small plant that was the focus of the ritual.<br/><br/>She waited as the wound slowly stopped bleeding and then picked up the small pot, and carried it to the back of the shrine, and placed it in the sun, noting with minor pleasure that the flower was much healthier after the ritual blood feeding, and returned to the shrine, and bowed to the Yaun-Ti abomination that had entered the small shrine. He nodded, and hissed, ""The Mistress calls all. You by name. She is at the entrance.""<br/><br/>Cl'tevia nodded, and turned to her room, gathering a few items that she carried always carried except when she was filling in for her mother, the only druid of the small village. Which made her something of a noble, by the fleshling's standards, though here it meant only that she was expected to do more for the village, not that she was expected to waste time. Putting on the minimal clothing that was all the heat, oppressive even for her people, would allow her to wear, she then left the shrine, heading for the only entrance to the village, the male abomination slithering beside her. She moved like the serpent her people were, and while she appeared to take her time, she still arrived at the entrance faster than most fleshlings would have. Bowing to the Mistress, a female abomination with powerful magics, and always accompanied by at least two skeletons, she waited to hear her words.<br/><br/>The last of the residents of the  small village, all seventy of the Yaun-ti, mostly pure bloods, with a double handful of half-bloods like herself, and three abominations, arrived soon after she did, and the Mistress waited for a moment, surveying them, before saying, ""Our destroyers will succeed in ten moons.""<br/><br/>None of them said a word, knowing that by willingly leaving the main encampment, they had all volunteered to die, so the news was no surprise. But when she continued, several of the younger serpents hissed softly in surprise, ""But we can survive. One of us must venture forth, to a fleshling encampment, revealed by the spirits, and attempt to do the unthinkable. The destroyer's god must be destroyed.""<br/><br/>The entire encampment froze in shock, not a sound, as their minds processed what the Mistress had said, before one of the eldest Purebloods asked, ""Who must venture forth?""<br/><br/>The Mistress nodded, and then turned to the young female half-blood, and said, ""Cl'tevia.""<br/><br/>Taking the next day to prepare herself for her journey, she presented herself before the Mistress, and announced that she was ready to leave. The Mistress nodded, but said, ""Come here child, I have something that will aid you in the endeavor. Scrolls of power.""<br/><br/>The aged Abomination handed a scroll case to the younger female, and then two scrolls, before saying, ""The first scroll will allow you to understand, speak, and read every possible language you come across, even those forgotten in time. The second one will make the first a permanent spell so it is always active. Cast them now, child, for here, I can help.""<br/><br/>An hour later, Cl'tevia stepped out of the tent, a skeleton bodyguard for her journey behind her, the spell now a permanent part of her, and left, walking out of the encampment without a look back. The journey was long, nearly a moon, and she avoided the fleshling encampments, not wanting to risk herself in some meaningless skirmish with the barbaric weaklings. Eventually arriving at the manor, she sent the skeleton back to the encampment, before walking up to the gate, and announcing herself. Following the slave, she entered her room, and dropped her bag of holding, before looking around. Nodding to herself, she tossed the bag onto the nearby table, and then went to the library, where she spent most of her time, waiting for the two weeks before the host made the proposal.<br/><br/>She spent most of her time meditating and reading the various scrolls and books in the library, enjoying what she could learn. Nothing was ever wasted, it was just spent unwisely, as the Mistress would say. She rarely slept, and never ate, one of her rings making both unnecessary. Then after staying in the manor for two weeks, she looked up at a cough from behind her, and turned, her hood half flaring at the interruption of her studies. She collected her temper when she realized that it was one of the manor slaves, and he said, ""The Master wishes you to assemble with the others in main hall. He will announce why you are here.""<br/><br/>The young Yuan-ti said, ""Of course, I will be there in a moment.""<br/><br/>She finished the page she was on, in no hurry, as she knew what the purpose was, and that she had to accept it for the encampment. It did not matter if she missed the offical announcement or not. Returning her current book to its place,<em>The History of Dragons and Their Gods</em>, a somewhat inaccurate but still interesting treatise about the greater kyn, she walked out of the library, to arrive at the main hall, her cloak drawn tightly about her. She knew some of the beings here would gladly attack her, and did not wish to tempt them any more than she had too.<br/><br/>She did not react to the revelation of the purpose, already knowledgable, but she did carefully observe the others, curious as to why so few actually seemed to know why they had come.<em>So strange, these fleshlings, and so willing to spend their time unwisely.</em>"

At the moment, however, Ildeeh'a's greatest concern was the drow who had been hunting her... after several hundred years of he solitary life down below, she had finally managed to get herself into some serious trouble. The drow, though, it seemed, were content with having driven her from her home, and though she had left the cave three days ago, having nowhere else to go, it seemed that nothing would be following her.<br/><br/>In truth, although she knew she was lucky, she was also a bit disappointed. Despite the burning hatred between them and her, seeing so many members of her old race had awakened a sense of nostalgia she had long thought dead... even as they chased her through the underdark, she had locked back at them with longing, imagining herself as she had once been, part of the hunting party, rather then as the prey. But she was safe from them now, and having assured herself of such, she set out quickly from the entrance of the cave, hoping that the nostalgia would fade with distance. And besides, she dared not descend back into that cave... until she found another way below, it seemed that she was stuck on the surface, a serious enough problem that she couldn't afford such distractions.<br/><br/>For a while, she wandered, hunting what small game she could and eating it raw, noting casually to herself that even the animals were different up her. On the third day, she found a small road, cutting lazily through the forest, and decided to see where it led. The road, it seemed, was seldom traveled, and for nearly a week she saw no one else upon it, until one day, in the evening, she spotted a cart being pulled towards her. Concealing herself in the bushes, she easily managed to ambush the lone merchant, leaving him unconscious on the side of the road as she dug through his wares with glee. For the most part, it was disappointing... she took some food that he seemed to have been saving for himself, but nothing else really caught her eye... until she noticed several scrolls tucked away in a corner. Amused, she read through the various messages the man was carrying, enjoying herself, until she unrolled the last message, gasping as she saw her own name inscribed on the parchment.<br/><br/>Ildeeh'a read the flowing elvish script slowly, barely able to believe her eyes, but the details included in the message left no doubt... whoever had written it had written it for her. Determined to get to the bottom of things, she tucked the scroll into her bag, grabbing the rest of the merchants food and water for the journey. Knocking him out again as he began to stir, she set off in the direction the message had indicated.<br/><br/>It took her just over a week, and several close calls, but she managed to reach the manor with a few days to spare, approaching the gate cautiously, and stopping some distance away, unsure of how to proceed. She spent over an hour trying to devise the best way in, until noticing a rather large demon calmly approach the gate and converse civilly with the guard, she decided that perhaps she was worrying a bit too much. Indeed, despite her appearance, she was admitted without incident. And she entered the manor, deciding to look around a bit before she sought out the room that had evidently been set aside for her. For several hours she wandered, looking at the other guests in awe, feeling as if, for the first time in a long long time, she didn't look particularly out of place. Granted, the drow she ran into were rather impolite, but even they didn't try to attack her, and she retired to her room, cautious but optimistic.<br/><br/>After her first bout of exploration, Ildeeh'a spent most of her time in her room, waiting to see just why their host had called them there. When the time finally arrived to hear what he had to say, she was nearly breathless in anticipation, and was one of the first to enter the great hall, although she moved all the way to one side after several complaints about her bulk blocking other's view. When he finally entered, she watched with rapt attention, gasping at his words.<br/><br/>""To kill a god"" she thought to herself, shivering. She had been expecting something unusual, true, but this... this was well over her head. Kill a god? Impossible... she had seen first hand the power of a god, seen how it could take a servant who had lost her favor... and twist her... warp her... turn her from a matron's firstborn daughter, heir to her power... into an outcast, a monster. As the memories flooded back to her, her expression gradually shifted, from one of shock, to one of rage... To kill a god... Impossible, perhaps... but if there was a chance..."

It was getting rather crowded. She'd been in the wagon since the guards bought her, back in Solviss, a couple of weeks ago, only permitted outside three times a day briefly for nature calls. Since then, the caravan had passed through Enn, Zanghar and Daron, picking up an additional maiden at every city, sometimes two. She must've been relatively lucky, as whoever was picked up in Corinth had to endure a trip around the entire kingdom like this. The caravan was now on it's way back towards Zanghar and then on to Kobal City.<br/><br/>In a week or two, she'd be one of the King's wifes. She didn't really know what to expect, and didn't really bother trying to imagine it. She'd found out eventually, and it's not like she had any choice in the matter. If the guards find you a good candidate to be one of the King's wifes, then nobody had anything to say into the matter. Her dad must've been lucky, though, with the 1000 gold pieces he earned from this. She wasn't too surprised about being picked. She had received just enough from her elven grandmother to have a streak of exoticness, but not too much to prevent a voluptrous human body. Long, thick black hair hung down her head, held back by the ears that showed just a hint of her elven ancestry. Large green elvenlike eyes besetted an otherwise round human face.<br/><br/>The women in the wagon were silent. The guards didn't like them talking with each other, and none really felt like talking to the guards. They weren't required to sit on their own, though, and some of the women were seeking comfort in the arms of another. A strange atmosphere hung through the caravan. Nobody really enjoyed going this far south. There were just too many weird things crawling around in this region. The half-elven maiden admitted she'd be more assured herself as well, once the city walls of Zanghar were in sight again.<br/><br/>Suddenly, an uproar unleashed throughout the caravan. Quickly, Eclyssa looked out to see what's going on, and once she saw it, her heart skipped a beat. The Dragon! It was diving directly at them. The wagon was in the middle of the caravan, right where the wyrm was landing. He bashed against the wagon, as he landed on the ground, knocking it over. As the women slided down the floor against one of the sides, the roof broke with a loud cracking sound. Panic ensued. The horses that were attached to the wagon staggered and buckled. While some of the bravest guards fired their crossbows at the beast, most of them tried to flee the scene in panic.<br/><br/>Eclyssa saw her chance. Nobody was paying them any attention now, and she stood up, and threw herself against the split roof, knocking part of it aside. She ran through the exit, towards the forest, hoping to seek refure here, vaguely noticing most of the other women escaping the wagon behind her, also fleeding from the scene. Just as Eclyssa thought she was going to make it, the dragon changed facing, sweeping his big tail over the ground, hitting Eclyssa hard in the back.

She had welcomed the kindness of the woman next to her, leaned against her, smelled the scent of lavender which perfumed her body, and although she did not mean to close her eyes and sleep, she did. Perhaps it was her tired state, the anxiety that overwhelmed and gripped her in being chosen as a wife for His Majesty, or maybe it was the stranger stroking her auburn tresses that made her drift into sleep. She knew not, and for many long minutes Esme enjoyed the blissfulness of sleep.

Like others that were travelling with her, those condemned to be the King's wives, Esme broke free of the wagon shortly before it was washed in flames.<br/><br/>Standing near the opening of the woods, Esme was in awe of the dragon. Although she was compelled to flee, she forced herself to remain and search for her toad.

For a short moment, he was stunned by it's impressiveness, but he soon shake it off, knowing he had to spend all his attention to survive. For a moment he cursed at the needless load his brave blackhoof, a large, strong horse, with dark brown fur that ran over his legs into pitch black, was carrying. The bags of gold needed to purchase the maidens, some of their personal belongings that weren't to be trusted in their hands for now and finally that stupid caged toad belonging to one of the maidens, taken along on a whim, in case the king felt like blackmailing one of his maidens into something, they could all have been stalled in one of the cargo wagons, if not for the order to keep close watch on them.<br/><br/>The knight spurred his horse, moving it out of the dragon's initial fiery attack. After he could feel the incinerating heat behind him, he started to zig zag, trying to stay out of any direct attacks. After all, sitting on his mount, he was one of the larger targets, and more likely to be picked upon. He rode towards a big rock not too far away, as he looked over his shoulder, to see the dragon's eyes gaze upon him. He concentrated hard, as he focussed on the syllables of his spell, just in time before he was engulfed in another breath. Even though his divine protection blocked most of the attack, it couldn't prevent scorching him and Blackhoof, while the silly toad was just lucky enough to be at the other side, being shielded by the knight and his mount. Blackhoof buckled slightly, and Armand did his best to regain control and take refuge behind the rock.<br/><br/>As he peered over him, he was engulfed with guilt and regret, as he basically abandoned his men. Yet, what was he to do against a creature of this might? Armand waited for the dragon to focus on something in the other direction, and then gambled on his escape, trying to force blackhoof to speeds he never made before, as they fled from the scene. The king surely would not be happy about hearing this news.<br/><br/><hr/>The moment he could see the dragon, Henrik fled the scene in panic. Running headlong towards the forest, he abandoned all sense of order, trying to save his own hide. He ran and ran until his heavy gear and poor constitution forced him to stop, placing an elbow against a tree, sweat running down his neck, shoulders and arms as he tried to regain his breath.<br/><br/>He was a young soldier, recruited not too long ago, and when his officers discovered his weakness, he was usually placed on the silly and mundane tasks, like preparing the food, or taking care of the knights' horses. Clad in the standard uniform, a chain shirt covered by the royal emblem, including a helm, a small steel shield and a short sword on his side, completed with sturdy trousers and boots, he looked around him, not sure what to do now that he was in the safety of the forest, all by himself.<br/><br/>He heard sounds from two behind him, happily thinking there was another soldier that made it here as well, that knew what to do now a lot better than poor Henrik would. But to his surprise they was no soldier, but a maiden. A tall woman, with black hair and a gray dress. As he drew his sword, clueless as what to do, he could see a second maiden appear between the trees, a curlyhaired brunette, wearing a simple gown. It took a mere second before the maidens spotted both each other and the soldier. ""Move back!"" the soldier yelled at them. ""Don... don't come any closer!""<br/><br/><hr/>As Dara conveyed the site, she could see several soldiers lying around, either wounded or dead. All the soldiers were equipped with a longsword, in addition to a chainshirt and a shield. As she arrived at the nearest soldier however, she found the scabbord bent, the sword stuck inside. There were others, but not in the direction of the forest, so it took her a bit to retrieve two blades.<br/><br/>Lessly had a hard time trying to pull the last few maidens out of the car, some of them struck in panic, the others lost in selfdefeat. She barely managed to get the last one out, before another gulf of the dragon sent it into a sea of cinders. One screamed in panic, running at the nearest standing soldier, who out of reflex swung his sword at her, cleaving her shoulder with a single blow, sending her unconscious to the ground. Another seemed to have regained her focus and ran headlong towards the forest, ignoring everything around her.<br/><br/>Lessly saw the two women, both human, not much more than girls, that had been sitting next to her in the car, looking up to her, questioning, hoping she knew what to do. One was small, but with nice rounds, shoulderlength platinablond hair around a heartshaped face, that joined the caravan in Zanghar. The other taller, but rather skinny, had been on the caravan for quite a while, being on it before Lessly herself was placed on board. They followed closely as the paladin headed for the forest, panting a little as the she checked on the corpse, assuring herself that she was dead.<br/><br/>Just as the woman that found the blades had catched up with them, a mounted soldier rode past them, and positioned himself in between the maidens and the forest. ""Where do you think you're going to?"" he yelled at them, somehow indifferent to the fact that there was a dragon flying over them.

Only then did Esme hear Tara's words, and upon opening her eyes, the brightness of the world was greeted through twining ivy that wove over her body, and neatly swaddled her.  The green leafy vines blanketed her, clung to her dress and roamed over her supple limbs to curl about them, confine them and barely could Esme shift or move.<br/><br/>“Mmmhmm?” A delicate purr of a noise escaped  Esme's lips as she watched a ladybird crawl over the ivy in a nonsensical direction.  “I am awake, but I seem to be a bit delicately bound in a vine.” Esme whispered, her voice hoarse from sleep, and she yawned. She wiggled, and managed to turn her head some and she managed to peer at the other maiden.  “So not only is the ground lumpy and uncomfortable, but I believe ivy should not grown so much in one evening. Rather peculiar, do you not think?” Esme asked and tried to shift and move her body more so to loosen the hold the plant life had upon her."

The smile widened as the green body slithered down over her own body, her ample bosom leaning on Tara's stomach, while she lifted her right leg, and slided it back in between the fairskinned legs. The dryads right hand cupped her left breast once more, continuing it's earlier caress, while her green lips eagerly sought the pink nipple of her right breast, taking it in her mouth and sucking on it, as her tongue rubbed itself around it.<br/><br/>The vine, despite being freed by the dryad's change of position, no longer advanced, and seemed content with just slowly brushing and tickling the woman's pussy lips.<br/><br/><hr/>[Melody Search 11+0=11]<br/><br/>As Melody searched through the corpses, she found the equipment of the soldier to be rather basic. A mundane chain shirt, as well as a steel longsword and shield of the same quality, all too far from her attune with nature for her to wield them without discomfort. The soldier also carried a small purse, which netted the woman with 2 gold pieces, 7 silver pieces and 3 copper pieces, though in her current situation, she would be unlikely to be able to spend it.<br/><br/>The hobgoblin was better geared and loaded. His purse carried 3 platinum pieces, 18 gold pieces, 11 silver pieces and 8 copper pieces. The leather armor could be something the druid could wear, though the screaming colors that were painted on it would make it odd, to say the least. The large sword and bow seemed to be of excellent quality, and could be put to great use in the hands of someone who is proficient with them, like her current comrades, but Melody herself had received no training with them, unlike with the daggers he wielded, both rather mundane versions, save for the poison they were coated in, but that could be cleaned off without much trouble.<br/><br/>In addition, the orangeskinned creature carried a backpack with various equipment. Several trail rations, a filled waterskin, a bedroll, several large sacks, flint and steel, a whetstone, a crowbar and a thick green cloth that was wrapped around four vials. Two of the vials contained a liquid of the same sickening color as the creature's skin. The other two vials contained something blueish that seemed to hover between liquid and gas.<br/><br/>With the clearing providing a small region without any trees, the sky was actually open on this very spot, illuminating the spot by the light of the moon and the stars."

I want you to go there immediately and check what happened. It's been nearly a year since I had fresh maidens, and I'm not going to limit myself to the few chosen ones in the city.""<br/><br/>Rennell regretted that the king urged him to get into action directly.

He went to a sex shop and explained his situation. The man there said, 'Well, I don't know that I have anything that will keep her occupied for so many weeks, except...the Voodoo Penis!'<br/><br/>The husband said 'The what'?<br/>The man repeated 'The Voodoo Penis' and pulled out what seemed to be an ordinary dildo.<br/><br/>The husband laughed, and said, 'It looks like a dildo!'<br/>The man then pointed to the door and said, 'Voodoo Penis, door!'<br/><br/>The penis rose out of its box, darted over to the door and started pounding the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with vibrations, so much that a crack began to form down the middle. Then the man said 'Voodoo Penis, return to box!' and the penis stopped and returned to the box.<br/><br/>The husband bought it. He took it home to his wife, And after the husband had been gone a few days, the wife remembered the Voodoo Penis.<br/><br/>She undressed, opened the box and said 'Voodoo Penis, my crotch.' The penis shot to her crotch. It was absolutely incredible. After three mind shattering orgasms, she became very exhausted and decided she'd had enough. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. Her husband had neglected to tell her how to turn it off. So she put her clothes on, got in her car and started for the hospital.<br/>On the way, another incredibly intense orgasm made her swerve all over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she'd had to drink.<br/><br/>Gasping and twitching, the woman said 'I haven't had anything to drink officer. You see, I've got this Voodoo Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won't stop screwing me...'<br/><br/>The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and replied, 'Yeah right...Voodoo Penis, my ass...!'<br/>The rest, as they say, is history....<br/>"

She recently left her and she wandered to Seatlle to join the Unaligned, settled in rather quickly and has a portfolio invested for her from her Sire offering enough money to not have to worry about such mundane matters. The account maintained under her Sires long time income granting portfolio fairly conservative and the interest provides for her needs. So far she has remained under the Hunters radar mostly because for all her falults she does respect human life and tends to be a decent undead resident of the city. She follows a fundamental belief in her Dark Destiny which is to be a proper predator and a predator only kills threats or when they have to. The Prince and most of the vampires have met her in Elysioum she just doesn't take part in their games but she did vow to respect the Three Traditions and intends to try and keep them."

Her father was rarely home, nor her mother. Raised to her early teen years by servants, she spent maybe ninety-six hours with them both, combined.<br/><br/>Then, one day at age twelve, an odd older woman came to visit. She was Akiko's aunt, and she was here to take Akiko to her new home. Surprised at the sudden move, she was bundled into the Aunt's limousine as she was, still in her school uniform. On the long drive, her Aunt informed her that both her parents had been killed, and when they arrived at the Aunt's home, she would learn why.<br/><br/>Takeshita Chiyoko bundled her small niece out of the limousine and swiftly escorted her into the large mansion deep in the Japanese mountains, far from any town or city.<br/><br/>Inside, Aunt Chiyoko brought her diminutive niece, whom was small for her age, into an immense basement. There, another woman, this one but in her twenties, knocked Akiko into a padded wall with a harsh kick to her belly.<br/><br/>Bent over and retching for breath, Aunt Chiyoko lifted little Akiko's head by her long hair, and told her the lay of the land. Akiko was hers to do with as she saw fit. Chiyoko-sama was the matron mother of a household of the Japanese shinobi. But that all of her students and housemembers were female. Her mother, Chiyoko's sister, had been one of the house shinobi, but had betrayed them by her marriage to a rival house's shinobi. Finally able to find her sister, Chiyoko had them both hunted down and executed. And now she had her niece to either train, enslave, or execute.<br/><br/>And so she was trained, relentlessly and often brutally. Her training consisted of mental discipline exercises, physical fitness training, combat training with a variety of weapons: The archaic, including the sword, the dagger, nunchaku, sai, paired jo, the larger bo, amongst others; The modern, including the standard 9mm handgun, the American built Smith and Wesson M1911A2, the German Heckler and Koch MP5R, the Barrett M98 .338 Sniper Rifle, and the Colt M16A2 Assault Rifle.<br/><br/>After several years of intense training, Akiko was finally sent on her first assignment. An officer of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force had a mark placed on him by members of the Japanese Red Army, a Communist separatist faction in Japan. On arrival on the installation where the marked man was stationed, Akiko was drawn into a cleverly designed trap, the mark being but a ruse to draw one of the prized Kunoichi(female shinobi) into their grasp.<br/><br/>After her capture, Akiko was interrogated ruthlessly for the better part of a month, often being raped at the hands of her salacious interrogators. Finally, the 'marked' officer came to see her for the first time since her failed assassination attempt. He made her an excellent offer. They knew where her household was, and planned to raid it, if not destroy it outright by way of an airstrike.<br/><br/>He wanted her to join the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force, particularly the Tokushu Sakusen Gun, an elite Counterterrorist/Anti-Insurgency division within the JGSDF. She'd be the only female amongst them, and given her skill at seducing men and her exceptional appearance, she'd make an excellent counter-insurgency infiltrator and assassin, if need be.<br/><br/>Having been ostracized from her house, she agreed in her dishonor, seeing that she could regain her honor serving her country directly. What she did not know is that her aunt had escaped the assault on her home with a number of her students. She was marked by her own kin, now.<br/><br/>After serving four years, from age sixteen to twenty, Akiko was released from her duties. Having learned of the mark on Akiko's head, the Abbey approached the fallen Kunoichi and offered her a place there, amongst the hunters.<br/><br/>And now Akiko arrives at Seattle's SEATAC airport, awaiting a ride to the Abbey where she'd likely live out the rest of her life, however long that life may or may not be......"

To the north is a big mountain range. The west, running all the way up to the mountain range, yields a vast desert. A thick forest prevents access to the east and the south, while a huge mountain seperates this forest from the desert to the west. Lakes and forests are scattered throughout the kingdom. There are nine mayor cities in the kingdom of Arethia, connected by big traderoads that are frequently patrolled by royal troops, escorting caravans.<br/><br/><strong>Cities of Arethia</strong>:<br/><strong>Kobal City</strong>, named after the royal bloodline, is the capital city. It houses the royal castle, as well as the guildhouses of most guilds spawning more than a single city. It's also the center of all military operations, and all soldiers receive their training in this city. Since it's pretty centered, it doesn't have to deal often with creatures from beyond the border, but the creatures that arise from the depts of Kobal Lake, directly south of Kobal City, keeps the guards occupied. They also prevent fishing on a regular basis, though some brave folks hunt the water in search of prey. Whatever they bring back, it's usually not a fish. More often than not, however, they fail to bring themselves back. The flag of Kobal City consists of four squares, the topleft and bottomright ones silver, and the topright and bottomleft ones red. Since the formation of Arethia, this flag sports a golden crown in the center and doubles both as the national flag, and the tabard of the guards throughout the land.<br/><br/>West of Kobal City, towards the desert, lies<strong>Corinth</strong>. Corinth houses by far the largest mageguild, twice as big as the one in Kobal City, which in turn is bigger than any of the other seven mageguilds, making Corinth the only reasonable place to study for wizards that attained spells of the fifth level. Lots of large hideous creatures crawl from the desert to assault the city, but with the help of the mages, the guards don't have too much problems holding them off. Corinth is also famous for the best of crafters in glass and keramics. The flag of Corinth is skyblue, with a pair of white wings.<br/><br/>North of Corinth lies<strong>Xerinos</strong>, the city of smiths. Most of the ore that's mined by the sister city Xalathos is transported to Xerinos to be smelted and worked into tools and weapons. Even on a sunny day, the smoke from all the forges cause an overhead, casting a permanent shadow over the city. The merchandise sells well, however, and the people that can live with the smoke, live rather prosperous. Xerinos has the least amount of guards housed of all the cities, due to the bad atmosphere. Every inhabitant has a weapon of his own for selfdefense, and huge siege ballistae mounted on the city walls are to protect the city from wandering monsters. The flag of Xerinos is yellow-brown, showing a green sledge and pincer crossing each other.<br/><br/>Just east of Xerinos lies it's sister city<strong>Xalathos</strong>. Whereas Xerinos has the secondhighest rate of prosperity in the entire kingdom, Xalathos has the lowest. The inhabitants are sent to work in the mines the moment they become of age, and the rather poor rate of survival in the mines makes the inhabitants end up with a low lifespan expectancy. The ones that become guards have it a little better, but only a little, as they're required to overview the mines, and guard the miners against the vast array of creatures inhabitating both the mountainsides and the caves throughout the mountain. Xalathos does not have a flag of it's own, and uses the flag of Xerinos without much welcome.<br/><br/>Southeast of Xalathos, northwest of Kobal City we find<strong>Ponder</strong>. Out of all nine cities, this city has the least problems with interference from outside creatures, allowing the inhabitants to spend a lot of time on other stuff, like culture. The majority of artists found throughout the land were born and raised in Ponder. The city is on the luxurous side, and it's inhabitants are quite happy. The women, though still suppresed, gain somewhat more respect than in other cities, their beauty well accepted. Live art, or performances are more often carried out by women, by order of their masters of course, providing cultural entertainment that's nearly unheard of in the other cities, save perhaps for Kobal City, that frequently recruits performers from Ponder to make a show. Ponder's flag is white, showing the kelp of a red rose.<br/><br/>To the far east, close to the forests, lies<strong>Solvess</strong>. Closest to the large forest bordering the kingdom, Solvess has to deal a lot with the vast amount of creatures that spawn from it. Solvess is however not passively waiting to attack. Though there are guards stationed in this city, their numbers are on the small side, and they mostly deal with problems in between citizens. Instead, a special group of rangers is in charge of protecting the city from outside interference, and often sends out squads of rangers into the forest to hunt for creatures that might attack the city. Also, when running into elves that live in small groups throughout the forest, the rangers don't hesitate to kill off all the males, and capture the females, to sell them on the open market. Due to this, there are quite a few female elves and half-elves of either gender living in the city. Male half-elven offspring receive full, undiscriminated citizenship, and often make the best of rangers. The flag of Solvess consists of alternating forestgreen and bright yellow horizontal stripes. These same colors are used in the uniforms of the ranger squadrons.<br/><br/>South of there, southeast of the capital, lies the city of<strong>Enn</strong>. Where it's neighbouring cities of Solvess and Zanghar were among the most loyal cities to Kobal, agreeing on uniting by treaties, Enn was the least. Being the last city that was conquered, fighting to the last bitter end until the city was overrun by troops from Kobal, Solvess and Zanghar together. It's government was overthrow and executed, replaced by bureaucrats from the three other cities, that ruled the city with an iron hand. Tension between it's inhabitants and the royal troops is always present. The men-at-arms usually have their hands full on controlling the city, lacking the support to safekeep the surrounding countryside, making threats remain unchecked, both in human and nonhuman form. Catfolk hunting parties from the southern forest usually stay away from the human settlements, but don't hesitate to attack underguarded travellers. Small human raiding parties occasionally attack other settlements in times of famine, and weird, dangerous creatures frequently roam the nearby hills and grasslands. The flag of Enn consists of alternating black and white curled lines.<br/><br/>West of Enn we find the city of<strong>Zanghar</strong>. One of the first countries to offer their allegiance to Kobal, Zanghar is a city with strict discipline, that's already eagerly anticipating on Daron's downfall and being the next city in the line of defense. In addition, they get to deal quite a lot with other creatures swarming from the desert, as well as other monstrcities from the southeast, permitted passing by Enn's lack of control. The city and neighbouring countryside houses an extensive breeding program for both horses and dogs, seeing the use for these animals as support for the military. The bigger, powerful creatures are often sold to Kobal, while they keep the swifter species themselves, using them frequently in their scout parties, providing excellent support for hit and run tactics when dangerous creatures are sighted. Zanghar carries a yellow flag with two crossed gray blades. Unlike Solvess, they do not use their flag for their special troops, instead dressing them in black, providing assistance in stealth missions.<br/><br/>To the far southwest lies<strong>Daron</strong>. Lying close to the desert and the mountain to the south, and not too far away from the forest to the southwest either, Daron is vulnerable to a multitude if various creatures. On top of that, an Anchient Red Wyrm built it's lair in the mountain and frequently harrasses the local countryside. Daron lies at a remote distance from the capital city, and doesn't really provide anything to the nation, making the city more of a burden to the rest of the country. Less and less guards are sent in it's defense, and more and more villages get overrun by the multitude of creatures. Daron is fighting a losing battle and morale in the city is low. Those that can afford it, pursue their careers in other cities. The flag of Daron is red, with a single diagonal white stripe across it.<br/><br/>Each city used to be the capital of a small nation of it's own until around a century ago, except for Xalathos, which had been ruled over from Xerinos from the very dawn of known history. Over time, by means of diplomacy, intrigue and war, the eight countries united one by one, until a single nation existed, controlling all nine cities. There are still all kinds of signs of the old nations, now called counties.<br/><br/>The landscape is dottered with small villages, roads, rivers, lakes, hills and woods beyond what's shown on the map. All villages belong to one of the eight counties, and it is the duty of that county's city to protect it's villages, as they provide their supply of food.<br/><br/>Every county has it's own flag, in addition to the royal flag. Also, each city has it's own ruler, called a count, and though the king can overrule a count and has the final say in matters, this rarely happens, leaving most of the bureaucratic administration to the local counts. Kobal City also has it's own count and employees, an organization completely seperate from the royal house, and operating from a building outside the royal castle.<br/><br/>The social system is extremely discriminating towards genders. Women aren't considered much more than property. In most families, when a girl is born, her father and brothers will give her hardly more attention than they would give a pet. When the girl is old enough, she is sold out to a willing buyer, to serve him for the rest of her life. A lucky woman might run into a caring husband, but most girls are just sold out to marry the first guy that's offering a decent price. Any women found on her own is free for the taking by legit means.<br/><br/>Every year, some of the most charming maidens through the land are confiscated by the royal army and sent off to serve the ruler in his private bedroom. However, one caravan that was on it's way back to the royal castle was ambushed, and the maidens were set free. Now, this group of women is trying to stay out of the hands of men, and trying to survive on their own in the wilderness. Unfortunately for them, when living in the wilderness there is more to fear than just the hands of man, and lots of misery befalls them."

Some halflings gather in communities of their own race, scattered here and there across the landscape, while others form small societies within the bigger human cities. Halflings living in human lands abide by human laws and norms, though aren't as explicit and non-consensual about it. Daughters are practically always sold or given away to befriended families, knowing that their owners will treat them fairly. Female halflings don't have anything to say in who's property they will be, but mostly aren't forced into the complete submissiveness that most male humans demand of their women. Exceptions of course exist. Halflings are protective of their women, making sure to never let them go out by themselves, in case a human would come along and claim her. They are respective to other halflings' claims, making females safe among other halflings, even without presense of their owner. Most humans know better than to lay their hands on a halfling, for they would have to face the community she's from. More than a few men ended up in the gutter with a dagger in their back, after thinking they could have their way with a female halfling. Female Halflings that are abandoned by their community usually have a less than pleasant future ahead of them.<br/><br/><strong>Dwarves</strong>can be found living deep in the mountains north of Xerinos and Xalathos. An informal truce hangs between the humans from Arethia and the dwarves from the northern mountains. As long as the humans settle themselves to mining basic resources from the foot of the mountains, and don't venture in deeper, the dwarves will not disturb them. Likewise, dwarves won't sent troops into human lands. On rare occasion, a dwarf grows the idea to explore human lands and is allowed to do so, though he will receive a lot of attention in his travels and will always be considered a stranger. Female dwarves know better than to travel into human lands. Dwarves respect the laws humans have set for themselves, though their own laws vary wildly. Half-dwarves are completely unheard of, but it's unsure if that's because of the lack of sexual encounters between the two species or biological incompability.<br/><br/><strong>Elves</strong>are spotted frequently, mostly in the forests east of Solvess, just across the Arethian border. Centuries of warfare has made human-elven contact tense at best, and elves in sight of Solvess rangers usually have to fear for their lifes. Likewise, a human by himself in elven lands is gambling with his own life. Elves are considered poor slaves, both physically weak and mentally unable to obey well, so males are usually killed on sight. Females are usually captures and sold as exotic female specimen, causing half-elves to be far from rare throughout the kingdom and rather common in Solvess.<strong>Half-elves</strong>have the same rights as humans do, with male half-elves being just as well accepted as male humans would. Female half-elves of course have to endure the same pennance that female humans would, and are occasionally considered to be exotic specimen, depending on how present her elven features are.<br/><br/><strong>Catfolk</strong>are a nomadic race that travels forth and back between the grasslands south of Enn and the wilderness further south. They usually pick a lifemate of the other gender short after puberty with mutual agreement, and then stick together pretty much wherever they go. Hunting is always done as a couple, unless they're hunting dangerous game, or hunting close to human settlements, in which case they hunt in packs of six couples for selfprotection. Catfolk loathe the human laws and norms, and treat both genders with the same respect. Catfolk on Arethian soil are considered tresspassers and outlaws, but their quick movement and nomadic lifestyle prevents the Kobal troops from actually dealing with them in an effective manner. In addition, Enn's men-at-arms is much less specified than the troops at Solvess are, and captured catfolk therefor much rarer than captured elves. Captured catfolk make decent slaves when kept in control and when couples are allowed to stick together. Catfolk that lost their lifemate often wither away quickly, though sometimes they manage to reform the link with another catfolk, that likewise lost their lifemate. Links can also be reformed with catfolk that never had a lifemate before, but occasion is much rarer. Catfolk females would sell well as exotic slaves, weren't it for the fact that the male needs to be kept along with her, to prevent her from wither away pretty fast. They handle sexual abuse reasonably well, as long as they're ensured their lifemate is close by, though not neccesarily within eyesight, and are frequently allowed to seek their lifemate's companion. Catfolk captured before finding a lifemate are very rare, and such catfolk usually wither away once they pass puberty, though rumors exist of catfolk taking another race as their lifemate. Catfolk are biological incompatible with other races.<br/><br/><strong>Orcs</strong>live in the vast network of caves beneath the ground, occasionally surfacing in raid groups to plunder human settlements. When guards are found in or close to the attacked settlements, a bloody struggle usually occurs, with the orcs only retreating once vastly outnumbered. Orcs on the surface that are not part of a raid group receive wary and suspicious reactions, and are allowed to be killed on sight. Relations between humans and orcs other than battle are practically unheard of. Pillage and rape is not uncommon, and half-orcs are occasionally born, though most are killed right after birth.<strong>Half-orcs</strong>that are allowed to grow up usually have their future decided by their appearance. Those resembling orcs enough are usually treated as such and hunted or killed by soldiers as soon as they're discovered, while those showing enough evidence of their human heritage are allowed to live. Males have the same rights as human males, but are usually considered outcasts, unwanted in most communities. Females are frequently kept as slaves to do heavy labor, usually considered to be too ugly for sexual abuse.<br/><br/><strong>Illumians</strong>- going to add these after Kazae is done with his character background.<br/><br/><strong>Changelings</strong>are occasionally run across, but only evidental after their death, when their body takes their normal forms. Since they're only discovered once dead, not much about their reasoning is known. It's unsure if they happen to be a smaller entity living in the kingdom or spies of a larger community outside the kingdom. The biological compatibility between them and other races can only be guessed at.<br/><br/>Other intelligent races don't appear in Arethia in large numbers, but a vast amount of different creatures inhabit other places of the world, and even on other world, and occasionally, due to whatever reason, specimen of those races come across Arethia. Also, certain species do live in Arethia, but only in very small numbers, hidding in a single village, small forest or the caves beneath the ground."

Knowledge of the system ain't required, as I can help you make a character or make a character for you based on your input. All rolls will be handled by me. You just have to try something, and I'll do all the rolls to check if you succeed or not. If you want to play a spellcaster however, you will have to invest a bit of time reading up on the spells available to you, which are available from the WotC website (link (http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35)).<br/><br/><strong>Allowed materials</strong>:<br/>Characters by the PHB can do just fine, but people that want to use other books to make their characters are just as welcome. I however, want to be able to read up on all the abilities, so I'm limiting this to the books in my possession and The Mind's Eye (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/PsionicsPDF2.zip):<br/>Player's Handbook (I & II)<br/>Dungeon Master Guide (I & II)<br/>Monster Manual (I, II, III, IV & V)<br/>Expanded Psionic Handbook<br/>Planar Handbook<br/>Miniatures Handbook<br/>Unearthed Arcana<br/>Arms and Equipment Guide<br/>Complete Warrior/Divine/Arcane/Adventurer/Psionic/Mage/Champion/Squindrel<br/>Frostburn/Stormwrack/Sandstorm/Cityscape/Dungeonscape<br/>Races of Destiny/Stone/the Wild/the Dragon/Ebberon<br/>The Book of Dragons/Undead/Abberations<br/>Book of Exalted Deeds/Vile Darkness<br/>Hordes of the Abyss<br/>Heroes of Battle/Horror<br/>Fiend Folio<br/>Exemplars of Evil<br/>Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords<br/><br/><br/><br/>Prices as per the PHB. I'm not really gonna bother setting up different economics for different villages and cities as the players will rarely be able to access these. Women cost between 1 and 10 gold, depending on appearance, though exceptional specimen might go for as high as 50 gold in cities. Exotic variants like elves could go for 100 or 200 gold. If a woman is claimed for the prince, her family will be compensated with 1000 gold. Women are sometimes sold again after being used, but that never goes for more than a few gold maximum.<br/><br/>I'm planning on being explicit on the misfortune, so this will probably go into the heavy category. As I said, there'll be more in the wilderness than the hands of those chauvinistic human male pigs, so it'll be exotic.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Refuge Maidens</strong>(main characters):<br/>These characters are what the story is about. The king wants to have them captured, and sends his hunters out to do so, while the allies try to keep them out of harms way.<br/>- Female players only. There'll be sexual interaction with these characters on more than one occasion, and I'm not good at getting into detail when it involves a male player.<br/>- Lots of misery can befall these characters. You should be comfortable with your character befalling these circumstances. I will check your O/O thread of course and make sure not to use certain aspects you don't want me to, but you should be ok with playing a victim in general.<br/>- Female characters only. Also, the king only desires untouched girls.<br/>- Since the story plays in a human kingdom, your race would most likely be human, but if people want to play other races, that's fine, just make up a small story as to why your character is living in human lands.<br/>- Since only the most charming are recruited to serve the ruler, these need to have a charisma of at least 16 after racial modifiers.<br/>- The idea of the story is that the maidens actually wanna stay out of the hands of males, so the characters themselves either shouldn't be submissive in nature, or be submissive to females only.<br/>- Maidens start at ECL 3 (level 3 if you're playing a standard race).<br/>- Maidens use 32 point buy system to determine ability scores.<br/>- Maidens are just released prisoners, and at the start don't possess anything more than a single set of clothes that barely covers the body.<br/>- Maidens come from any city but Kobal City (it doesn't make sense for them to be in the caravan, if they were in the King's city from the start). Maidens start on the road between Zanghar and Daron.<br/><br/><strong>Allies</strong>(optional, sidekick characters):<br/>These characters are willing to help the maidens in their endeavours and perils and stand by their sides.<br/>- Players of both genders are acceptable for allies.<br/>- Allies are most likely male characters.<br/>- Since the story plays in a human kingdom, your race would most likely be human, but if people want to play other races, that's fine, just make up a small story as to why your character is living in human lands.<br/>- Allies start at ECL 3 (level 3 if you're playing a standard race).<br/>- Allies use 24 point buy system to determine ability scores.<br/>- Allies can have equipment worth of 500g. This needs to be spent, you can only have max 5g in coin at the start of the game.<br/>- Creatures that are trying to get their way with the maidens, won't be bothered to more than just merely knock you out, so you can't interrupt the fun. I'm not going to write any creature on male stuff, sorry. Don't expect a lot of sexual income towards you from my side. Of course you are free to build up relationships with one or more maidens, but nothing non-concensual, as you're actually supposed to be helping them.<br/>- Female allies are allowed, but then they'd have to fear the same perils that the maidens would. They have the same requirements, so female players only, and you have to be ok with being a victim in general. You don't have to have a charisma of 16, and you still only get 24 points to spend on your ability scores. You can start with coin (max 5g), but don't count on being able to spend it anywhere.<br/>- Keep in mind you'd play a sidekick character, and though I'll do my best to make the story as enjoyable to you as I can, the actual story is not about you.<br/>- Allies can come from anywhere, but they have to have a reason to be close to the maidens from the start of the game.<br/><br/><strong>Hunters</strong>(optional, sidekick characters):<br/>These characters are working for the king, and doing their best to track the maidens down.<br/>- Players of both genders are acceptable for hunters.<br/>- Hunters are most likely male characters.<br/>- Since the story plays in a human kingdom, your race would most likely be human, but if people want to play other races, that's fine, just make up a small story as to why your character is living in human lands.<br/>- Hunters start at ECL 5 (level 5 if you're playing a standard race).<br/>- Hunters use 24 point buy system to determine ability scores.<br/>- Hunters can have equipment worth of 2000g. This needs to be spent, you can only have max 200g in coin at the start of the game.<br/>- I'm not going to send creatures to sexually harass the hunters (though they will meet up with a lot of creatures interested in killing them, it's D&D after all). Hunters can however have their way with female npc's along the way (no male-male action with NPC's please), if it adds towards the storyline in any way (like using it as a part of an interrogation for example). I'm not entirely sure about hunters that managed to capture a maiden at the moment. Storywise, a woman out on her own is fair game, which means the hunter can have his way with her. I'd like to consult the maiden players on that first, though. If one of the maiden players is against it, it's not going to happen.<br/>- Female hunters are allowed, but they'd be traveling with male hunters and probably be used for their sexual pleasure in addition to their normal uses. I'll leave the use to the other hunter players. Any details should be discussed with the hunters, not me, so I have no objection towards male players taking this role. Female hunters get the regular 2000g to spend on equipment, but can't have a single copper at the start of the game. It's allowed to give your leftover money to one of the male hunter characters before the game starts (as long as that doesn't bring him over the 200g limit).<br/>- Keep in mind you'd play a sidekick character, and though I'll do my best to make the story as enjoyable to you as I can, the actual story is not about you.<br/>- Hunters can come from anywhere, but are stationed in Kobal City at the start of the game.<br/><br/><br/><br/>All characters receive max hit points at first level, and average after that. Round up at even levels and down at odd levels.<br/><br/>For people that know how to make a character, but don't know how point buy works: Maidens receive 32 points. All other players receive 24 points. From these points, you need to buy 6 scores, and award each of those scores to one of your abilities. Apply racial modifiers after that. The extra ability point hunters received at level 4 (unless they took 2 Level Adjustment) is also applied afterwards.<br/><br/>Score 8 costs 0 points.<br/>Score 9 costs 1 points.<br/>Score 10 costs 2 points.<br/>Score 11 costs 3 points.<br/>Score 12 costs 4 points.<br/>Score 13 costs 5 points.<br/>Score 14 costs 6 points.<br/>Score 15 costs 8 points.<br/>Score 16 costs 10 points.<br/>Score 17 costs 13 points.<br/>Score 18 costs 16 points."

Add Bluff, Gather Information, Intimidate, Knowledge (local), and Sense Motive to the class skill list.<br/><br/><strong>Class Features</strong><br/>The Kobal hunter has all the standard ranger class features, except as noted below.<br/><br/><strong>Urban Tracking:</strong>A Kobal hunter does not gain the Track feat at 1st level. Instead, he gains the Urban Tracking feat, which allows him to use Gather Information to track down a missing person, suspect, or other individual within a community.<br/><br/><strong>Wild Empathy (Ex):</strong>A Kobal hunter adds only one-half his class level to wild empathy checks (rounded down), reflecting his limited connection with the natural world.<br/><br/><strong>Combat Style:</strong>At 2nd level, a Kobal hunter can choose the kid gloves combat style, instead of archery or two-weapon combat. A Kobal hunter with the kid gloves combat style receives one of the following as a free weapon proficiency: bolas, net, or whip. In addition, he can choose to deal nonlethal damage with weapons that normally deal lethal damage, or lethal damage with weapons that normally deal nonlethal damage, both without taking the usual -4 penalty on the attack roll. A Kobal hunter still only gains the benefit of his combat style while wearing light or no armor.<br/><br/><strong>Animal Companion (Ex):</strong>A Kobal hunter cannot have an animal larger than Medium as his animal companion.<br/><br/><strong>Spellcasting:</strong>The Kobal hunter’s spell list is different from the standard ranger list. The following spells are eliminated from the Kobal hunter’s spell list:<em>animal messenger, charm animal, detect animals or plants, speak with animals, bear’s endurance, hold animal, snare, speak with plants, command plants, diminish plants, plant growth, reduce animal, tree shape, water walk, commune with nature,</em>and<em>tree stride</em>.<br/>In exchange, the Kobal hunter adds the following spells to his class spell list: 1st—<em>comprehend languages, detect chaos/good/evil/law, detect secret doors, message</em>; 2nd—<em>detect thoughts, knock, locate object, eagle’s splendor</em>; 3rd—<em>discern lies, invisibility, speak with dead, tongues</em>; 4th—<em>dimensional anchor, locate creature, Mordenkainen’s faithful hound, true seeing</em>.<br/><br/><strong>Improved Combat Style:</strong>At 6th level, a Kobal hunter that selected kid gloves at 2nd level gains the ability to deal an extra 1d6 points of nonlethal damage when making a melee attack that deals nonlethal damage against an unarmed opponent. This ability does not function if the opponent has a weapon of any sort in either hand, or if your attack deals lethal damage. Unarmed foes with the Improved Unarmed Strike feat at still considered unarmed. This ability never applies to ranged attacks, regardless of the target's proximity to you. If you score a critical hit with the melee attack, the extra damage from this ability is not multiplied. Creatures not subject to nonlethal damage, as well as constructs, oozes, plants and incorporeal creatures, are not affected by this ability.<br/><br/><strong>Woodland Stride (Ex):</strong>A Kobal hunter does not gain this ability.<br/><br/><strong>Immovable Heart (Ex):</strong>Your grim profession hardens your emotions. Beginning at 7th level, you gain a +2 competence bonus to resist enchantment spells and fear effects.<br/><br/><strong>Swift Hunter (Ex):</strong>Beginning at 8th level, am Kobal hunter may make a Gather Information check for his Urban Tracking feat every half hour without taking the normal –5 penalty. A Kobal hunter with the Track feat retains the usefulness of the original ability.<br/><br/><strong>Combat Style Mastery:</strong>At 11th level, a Kobal hunter that selected kid gloves at 2nd level now deals an extra 2d6 points of nonlethal damage as his Improved Combat Style ability.<br/><br/><strong>Camouflage (Ex):</strong>A Kobal hunter does not gain this ability.<br/><br/><strong>Threaten (Ex):</strong>Kobal hunters of at least 13th level are masters at shaking the confidence of their foes. This ability grants three advantages when you use the Intimidate skill to demoralize an opponent. First, you can attempt to demoralize an opponent as a move action, rather than a standard action. Second, a successful attempt causes the target to be shaken for a number of rounds equal to your unmodified Strength modifier (minimum 1 round). Finally, you gain a +2 bonus on any Intimidate check to demoralize an opponent.<br/><br/><strong>Hide in Plain Sight (Ex):</strong>A Kobal hunter does not gain this ability.<br/><br/><strong>Smell of Blood (Ex):</strong>At level 17 the Kobal hunter acquires an almost animalistic awareness of the world around him. He gains the scent ability and a +3 insight bonus on initiative checks.<br/><br/><strong>Ex-Kobal hunters</strong><br/>A Kobal hunter who becomes nonlawful loses all spells and the Urban Tracking, Immovable Heart, Threaten and Smell of Blood abilities, but retains all other abilities. He may not progress any farther in levels as a Kobal hunter. He regains his abilities and advancement potential if he atones for his violations, as appropriate.<br/>An ex-Kobal hunter that takes a level in ranger immediately trades all his Kobal hunter class levels for ranger class levels, though he retains his current skill ranks and Combat Style path."

There will always be an initiative list below my most recent post in such occasions, looking something like this:<br/><br/>Initiative:<br/>----------<br/>Tara 19+2=21<br/>Esme 17+2=19<br/>Wild Boar ??<br/><br/>The intiative list is worked down from top to bottom. Once the bottom is reached, we restart at the top using the same order. Sometimes, not all NPCs are listed on the initiative list, which means you don't know yet when they will take their action.<br/><br/>The ---------- line will give the current position in the initiative list. The person right below the line is the next in turn.<br/><br/>If you decide to do completely nothing during your own turn, not even talk or make a single step, your turn will hover, and you can take it whenever you want. However, you'll be from the new position for the remainer of the combat. For example, if Tara decides to wait until Esme made an action, and do her action after Esme did hers, then Tara will act after Esme for all consecutive rounds as well.<br/><br/>If you are not right next in turn, you can still post, and I'll handle your post when it's your turn. You can include some IF's in your post if you are unsure. Also, if by the time it's your turn your post no longer makes any sense, I'll halt and let you alter your post or make a new one based on the current situation. If you'd rather wait until it's really your turn, then that's fine as well.<br/><br/>I hope it's not too much rulestalk for some of you. It's basically the system defining the turns in which each participant acts.<br/><br/>Note to Elayne: Tara is 5 foot away from the boar. If you cast a spell right there, the boar will try to bite you while doing so. You can however step 5 foot back and then cast your spell unhindered.

When Ilynara fled deeper into the forest while Dara and Lessly sticked around to watch the knight, the NPC guessed her chances would be better with Ilynara, and decided to follow her.<br/><br/>Due to her psionics and the forest being somewhat unforgiving, Dara and Lessly are now catching up to Ilynara and the NPC maiden once more.<br/><br/>All five player characters in the thread as well as the blonde maiden NPC hailed from the wagon."

Sometimes that's fun, other times it's an embarrassing nuisance. She still has enough vanity to dress up, blending practicality and comfort with looking good; her typical casual outfit is a snug T-shirt, 'just tight enough' stretch jeans, and ankle boots with a modest heel, though (like Buffy) she doesn't stick to a single style.

His clothing is casual, and well worn, jeans or combats, and a t shirt, generally in dark colors. He favors a long leather duster, as it makes it easier to conceal certain things when he has to carry, completing the outfit with DMs or similar hard boots.<br/><br/>He seems to have one of those bluetooth earpieces permanently installed in his ear. If he has had a particularly rough night, he'll be wearing a slightly battered pair of aviator sunglasses as well.<br/><br/><strong>Lilly McIntire:</strong><br/>Ht: 5’8”   Wt: 115 Hair: Green Eyes: Blue Age: 19<br/>Lilly is a gorgeous young woman w/ a perfect body.

She normally wears a black business skirt suit w/ a red undershirt and a black tie. She wears black stockings that end just below her slightly too short skirt.  She ties her long hair back and has a pair of red lacquered hair sticks (that are slightly thicker then the normal kind).  She wears glasses w/ more of a rectangular (though still rounded) lenses w/ the frames only going up to half way on the lens.  She also tends to wear a pair of supple black leather gloves.<br/><br/>"

It hadn't gone very well, well thats from the people who worked there's way of thinking. Alexandre was learning a lot about how people acted by sitting there (which was really not very much at all) but to a being that knew next to nothing about how people acted it seemed like a lot. His waitress for the evening had been a green haired girl who garnered a lot of looks from the male clientèle. She was very ascetically pleasing. She talked with him somewhat seeming more amused by him then creeped out like some of the others were (though he probably didn't realize the creeped out thing). Eventually the place started winding down as it was close to closing time, and he saw Lilly (that was the name on her name tag) head out to go home. He wasn't the only one who did. A pair of nerdy looking young men left at the same time she did. After taking care of his bill, since they made him order something to let him stay he left the restaurant as well.<br/><br/>Hearing a muffled scream from the back parking lot Alexandre went to check, thats where he found the pair of men holding Lilly down, one sitting on her chest pinning her arms down w/ his knees, holding a hand over her mouth, he had her shirt ripped open and his errect member thrusting between her large breasts, the other struggled to force her legs apart. The one between her legs grins in success as he penetrates his victim, making her scream. Their fun was short lived however as Alexandre intervened, looking upon their ugly faces he knew what the pair of vampires were and how to deal with them. It was over quickly the pair of them turning to dust as Alexandre quickly stakes them. He doesn't get much time to help her up though as another group comes up on the pair of them. From their clothes they looked like Roman centurions, complete w/ a period armor and weapons. The group didn't give any answers as they fell upon Alexandre and the girl he had just rescued. Firing several darts at the pair of them, the one that hit Lilly knocked her out almost instantly, the ones that hit you had substantially less effect. But as outnumbered as he was and with the help of a net they managed to overpower Alexandre...Later he found himself in a slave pen like Roman's used for their slave gladiators back in the times of the coliseum he wasn't alone, there were several other people, vampires and demons with him though none looked like they were in the mood for trouble from him. Lilly wasn't with him though...<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Jessie:</span><br/>It had been a pretty standard patrol for her that night. Victoria was with her being as overprotective as always; in some ways it was irritating but in other ways it was comforting to know even though she didn't have any kind of ""super powers"" like you did that she was willing to step in and take a whoopin' for you. Jessie didn't have much in the way of problems with the three vampires she had run into that night and they were about to chock it up as a good night. Towards the end of the patrol though they heard a howl and the sounds of a fight coming from down an alley near them, coming around the corner Jessie and Vicki saw six men (vampires) dressed up like rejects from a Russel Crowe movie (Gladiator) bringing down a werewolf with nets and blow darts. Unfortunately one of them spotted you and it was go time. Victoria was hit early in the fight with a dart which dropped her. Jessie managed to kill three of them, but they had hit her with three darts which slowed her down and made her vision so blurry that it was easy enough for the rest of them to overwhelm her.<br/><br/>When she started coming to she felt herself being dragged and she could hear the rattle of a cell cage being opened she heard one of them say. ""Here's your reward for being victorious, as you can see the Emperor is very generous."" Your thrown roughly into the cage your hands bound by manacles and a chain (which gave about a foot and a half of slack) looking around somewhat groggily you find yourself in a 10'x10' cell, or cage which can be opened from either side, the other exit across from the one you came in looks like it leads out into an open area. But thats not what your biggest concern is at the moment. Across from you standing easily eight foot tall is a living breathing minotaur, Victoria never said anything about this sorta thing, it doesn't say anything and doesn't need to as it stands with a snort removing it's loin cloth. Giving hung like a bull a new meaning it stalks towards you. Looking to you left as you hear another cell opening you see them toss Victoria into another cell, unfortunately she doesn't have the slayers constitution and is barely awake as the large demon in the cell moves over to her and tears open her shirt, tears away her panties and mounts her. Her scream echoes throughout the place as she comes fully awake as it penetrates her in one powerful thrust with it's huge phallus.<br/><br/>((OOC: It's your turn to act, your as groggy as you want to be (up to still a bit groggy) and can fight, though your hands are shackled together, there's enough chain to possibly use as a weapon. The bars are plenty thick and it doesn't look like you can get to Victoria, she's on her own.))<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Jessica:</span><br/>If it wasn't for bad luck Jessica wouldn't have any luck. She didn't know what happened to the mystery man who had told her all the stuff about her being a slayer and fairytale monsters being actually real. He left her with just enough information to make her know that she didn't know enough, but not with enough to know where to look to find more. It was rather frustrating. Still life went on, college was going well for her even though it seems she's got a lot of trouble keeping her clothes in one piece which has been the source of embarrassment on several occasions. The latest came tonight after having to leave a party after somebody spilled wine all over her white shirt simultaneously ruining the shirt and making her wish she had worn a bra.<br/><br/>On the way home she heard a faint crying coming from back a little ways off of the lit path, following it into the darker area she found a girl huddled up and crying on a bench. Coming over to her to see what was wrong the girl sprung up her face twisted in the hideous contortions you've come to recognize as belonging to vampires. She said something unremarkable about being in the drama club as three others came out of the bushes laughing and smiling about how they'd caught dinner. The inevitable fight broke out and Jessica did pretty well for herself, until she got smashed in the head from behind by a brick which managed to drop her to all fours with star bursts going off in front of her eyes. She knew she was about to die, but the seconds went by and she didn't feel any of them biting her, it gave her time enough to get her senses about her enough to look around. The vampires were saying something to a group of middle ages of the Roman persuasion rejects. The rejects didn't care much for it and they attacked, outnumbering the others almost three to one it wasn't much of a fight, Jessica decided that it might be best to get out of dodge at that moment, as did the female vampire but it wasn't going to happen, Jessica was hit by several darts and lost consciousness.<br/><br/>A scream woke her up and she found her hands manacled and chained with about a foot and a half worth of slack, and she was being drug down a hallway to a cell, which she was unceremoniously tossed into. In the cell to her right a pretty brunette was being ravaged by a very large demon, in your own cell there was a frog looking demon licking his chops and looking at you. ""The emperor has indeed granted Maf'arol's wish for his victories, this one will be perfect to give birth to Maf'arol's spawn."" ((OOC: It's your action and things are pretty much the same for you as they are for Jessie, the frog demon has sharp teeth and claws and looks like a humanoid frog.))<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Lee:</span><br/>Lee had spent the night drinking away his worries about how utterly bolloxed up things had become. About half way through the night this pretty little number had started hitting on him pretty hard. Even not being a woman he could tell her style was dated, and even without his ability he could tell she wasn't what she said she was and that the offer to give him a blow job and let him use her for ""anything"" would just lead to some fangs in his cock. Not a very good option, though she was sincerely fuckable. It was a shame really. Leading her out back as he made out w/ her (to keep the illusion that he was her prey of course ;) ) he took her out in the alley to stab her w/ something other then the fun stabbing (okay that sucked, it's getting late I'm running low hehe). He didn't get a chance though as they came out of the back door there were several men who looked like roman warriors. A dart hit him in the throat and as he was blacking out he saw them fall upon the woman he was with with net and club.<br/><br/>When he woke up he found himself in a slave pit and he felt like he was dreaming about being in that movie, not Gladiator, but that porno he saw about slaves in Rome (hehe). His sword was gone, and he was surrounded by several other people, demons, and vampires. Though fortunately none of them looked like they wanted any trouble. Closest to him was a man who looked way to cheery for the trouble he was in (Alexandre) he also spotted the vampire he was gonna kill before they got jumped.<br/><br/>((Don't worry guys there'll be some ass beating for the guys coming soon to :) ))<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Lilly:</span><br/>Lilly woke up on a lavish bed groggily her eyes fluttering, looking around a bit it takes a second for it to sink in that she's not in Kansas anymore, bolting upright she finds herself wearing a skimpy little slave girl outfit (kinda like slave Leigha but just covering her nipples w/ a metal bra). Crawling off of the bed she walked over to the door opening it to find a large harem of women (not all of whom were human). ""Oh good your up. We need to clean you up for the Emperor if you are to be his bride...."""

Also for defense it's not one defense then your automatically hit every time if they can make a nine, I've changed it to one defense roll, and a -2 to it for each attack after the first.

Nearly 6' tall, she was slender, with long elegant fingers, graceful limbs and slender curves. Her face was long and oval shaped, with wide brownish red tinged eyes, sculpted cheekbones, shapely nose and an expressive mouth. Her body, as seen through the robe, was nicely shaped. Small firm breasts, a narrow waist, a nicely rounded bottom and hips with long slender legs. Over all, a beautiful young woman. Except for the pair of tiny horns on her forehead, just below the hair line and the hooves where her feet would have been.<br/><br/>The young woman sighed again as the tops of the village, or small town came into view and she raised her hood again, making sure the hem of her robe covered her hooves. The staff she carried thumped lightly on the dirt road as she walked to the town gates.

Next, the movie itself. We have a 50s classic mood, set in a rural environment during a severe weather condition. The monster(s) gets revealed when it 'kills' someone, and the solution is, after much more rolling than should've been necessary because of two additional sixes, a combination of Sodium Chloride, and Call In The Army. Now, there are a few ways we could do this, but my preferred method would involve us all figuring a time when we can get on AIM for at least an hour to banter about what the movie'll be like.

There's the school, the town hall, all the things a good small town, center of a sprawling farm community, oughta have.<br/><br/>Oh, and it's secret military test base.<br/><br/>Where the CIA has been experimenting with those new-fangled Vacuum Tube Thinking Machines like in Forbidden Planet, and something referred ominously to as Project Mindswarm. But hell, that aint no concern for the folks in Centerville, the government knows what it's doing!<br/><br/>But that hateful bitch, Mother Nature, has other plans, when a huge lightning storm hits Centerville... Including the Radio Tower.<br/><br/>I've got a few ideas for this, most of which I've only shared with Circl because we were brainstorming the stuff, and I figure it lets him be Mister Exposition. The basic gist of it is, the antagonists are predecessors to the first Zombie movies. They're basically like zombies, transformed that way by radio waves, but instead of eating human flesh, they take other humans to undergo the Permanentization process, which will be spookily hinted at. The Movie will be Won by figuring out how to approach the radio tower and send out a message to the military without getting zombified.<br/><br/>Next, we need to figure out two things: A good time for us to all meet up for a good amount of time in a row to do an AIM game, if we can, and the title of the movie... I'm thinking maybe something along the lines of The Kids Of The Corn. Something goofy but overblown, with a hint of ripoff- Feel free to pitch title ideas."

Frame Scene<br/>2. Determine groupings<br/>3. Determine Initiative<br/>4. Resolve Conflict<br/><br/><strong>Framing the Scene: </strong>At the start of combat, the GM declares if the scene has any aspects (such as smoky, asteroid field, suprise attack, ect.) and lays out what zones the conflict encompasses if it occurs over a broad area.  Unless supported by an aspect, only characters in the same zone can attack each other.<br/><br/><strong>Movement:</strong>A character can move one zone per turn, while a starship or vehicle can move a number of zones equal to its speed rating.  This range can be extended by 1 by making a speed or athletics roll with a total equal to the total number of zones moved.  (failing this roll inflicts 1 point of stress)  Giving up on attacking increases the ""range"" of a character or starship by 1.<br/><br/><strong>Groupings:</strong>At the start of a conflict, all characters lacking the capacity for independent action should be grouped with a major character.  Characters leading a group can ""attatch"" one character in the group each turn at the start of their action.  Attatching an NPC grants a +1 bonus in all skills possesed by NPC, and the character with an attatched NPC can use the skills of the NPC in place of his own.  Additionally, attatched NPCs can take stress for the character.  A character may only have one attatched NPC at a time.  Ever.<br/><br/><strong>Initiative:</strong>During a physical conflict, characters act in order of their alertness, with ties broken by resolve.  Further ties are resolved by GM fiat.  In a social conflict, characters act in order of their empathy, with ties broken by resolve.  Further ties are again resolved by GM fiat.<br/><br/><strong>Resolve Conflict:</strong>The conflict sequence begins.  Attackers roll skills against skills rolled by a defender.<br/><br/>The attacker wants...    So he uses...    And the defender can use...<br/>To physically harm           Fists                    Fists<br/>To physically harm           Blasters                Athletics<br/>To physically harm           Melee                   Melee or Fists<br/>To destroy spaceships      Blasters                Pilot<br/>To deceive                     Deceit                  Resolve or Empathy<br/>To scare                        Intimidation           Resolve<br/>To charm                       Rapport                Resolve or Deceit<br/>To force movement          Might                  Might<br/>To Mind Control               Mysteries             Resolve<strong>and</strong>Sixth Sense<br/>To Kill with her Brain         Power Use            Endurance<strong>and</strong>Sixth Sense<br/>To Read Minds                 Sixth Sense          Resolve<strong>and</strong>Power Use<br/>To Defuse Powers            Galactic Lore         Endurance<strong>and</strong>Power Use<br/><br/>If the attacker wins, he inflicts stress on his opponent equal to his margin of success.  If the defender wins or ties, he gains ""spin"" equal to the margin of success -1  Spin may be used to add a bonus equal to the number of points of spin spent to an attack or defense.  Spin is good only against the opponent you got it against.  A character may only have 5 points of spin per opponent at a time.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Special Combat Options:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Full Attack:</strong>A character who gives up defenses gains a +2 bonus on attacking.<br/><br/><strong>Full Defense:</strong>A character who gives up attacks gains a +2 bonus on defense in combat.<br/><br/><strong>Hold Action:</strong>A character may hold his action up until the end of the initiative sequence for the round.<br/><br/><strong>Blocking:</strong>A character holding his action may roll defense for another character.  If his roll is higher than the attacker's, he prevents the attack.  If it is lower, the attack proceeds as normal and the original target rolls defense.<br/><br/><strong>One shot left:</strong>A character may take a consequence at the end of his attack to gain a +3 bonus on the attack."

(ST approval needed)  For 4 slots, the theme is primal, such as kinetic energy, fate, or Homo Sapiens.  (ST approval VERY needed.)<br/><br/><strong>Companion:</strong>Gain an NPC with 4 stress boxes, 2 skills at good, 3 skills at fair, and 3 skills at average.  Can act independently as well as attaching like an ally can.  Good for representing robots, wingmen, and background lovers.<br/><br/><strong>Curse of Enoch:</strong>There is something very wrong with you.  Sure, sometimes it helps, but mostly, it's a nuisance, even if other people think it's cool.  The effects of your curse are mostly plot based, but each time it screws you over, you gain a Breath point.<br/><br/><strong>Doubter:</strong>You may cancel the effect of any perk with ""enoch"" in the name by spending a force point.  You may not have this perk at the same time you have any perk with enoch in the name.<br/><br/><strong>Down to Earth:</strong>You never suffer penalties to defense rolls for lacking helper skills.  (e.g. Sixth Sense)<br/><br/><strong>Exotic Technique:</strong>When using one of your aspects, you either gain a +1 bonus or the action requires an additional skill to defend against.  (ST approval required)<br/><br/><strong>Fastest thing in Space:</strong>May spend a force point to win initiative.<br/><br/><strong>Gadget:</strong>Your character has just the right tool(s) for the job.   This gadget counts as an aspect which may be changed at will  by spending a fbreath point.<br/><br/><strong>Insightful:</strong>May use a skill to add to add aspects; (usually bad ones) can add 1 additional aspect for every two points achieved on the roll beyond the first.  (applies to one skill, e.g. Insightful: Galactic Lore)<br/><br/><strong>Introspective:</strong>May remove a wound from the composure track once per scene by spending a breath point.<br/><br/><strong>Master of the Breath:</strong>If you spend two breath points before attacking, your supernatural powers deal an additional 1d6 points of stress if they hit.  (ST approval required)<br/><br/><strong>Master of Disguise:</strong>May spend a fate point to temporarily leave play, then re enter play  by revealing that an NPC was the character in disguise.<br/><br/><strong>Minions:</strong>Gain 5 NPCs with 2 stress boxes, 1 skill at good, 1 skill at fair, and 1 skill at average. Minions can ""attach"" to a character or companion to provide a +1 bonus to any skill they are trained in and take stress for the attached character. Minions cannot act independently without spending a breath point, and must all have identical stats. The allies perk is good for representing faceless foot soldiers, flunkies, and general purpose redshirts.<br/><br/><strong>Persistent:</strong>May remove a wound from the health track once per scene by spending a fate point.<br/><br/><strong>Skill Flexibility:</strong>You may substitute one skill for another.  (only applies to one pair of skills, both skills chosen at the time this perk is taken, e.g. piloting <-> blasters)<br/><br/><strong>Unsafe Velocities:</strong>All inanimate objects struck by a vehicle piloted by this character take double damage.  Typically, this results in massive explosions.<br/><br/><strong>Unstoppable:</strong>Can take an extra moderate consequence.  (May apply either to the health track or the composure track)<br/><br/><strong>Step 5: Breath Points</strong><br/><br/>Your character receives 8 Breath points to start the game with.<br/><br/>A Breath point may be spent to power certain perks, or to use the effect of an aspect to gain a +2 bonus on a roll.  You may use any number of Breath points on a roll as long as you still have applicable aspects.  The aspects of other people can apply as well, so if you have the aspect ""crack shot"" and your opponent has the aspect ""slow and overweight"" you can spend 2 Breath points to get a +4 bonus on the roll.  An aspect can only be used in this way once per scene.<br/>"

Her father was killed in gang violence when she was young, and her mother sold herself on the streets to keep them with a roof over their heads. Dawn, as typical in such an environment developed a tough persona in order to survive. In her youth she learned there are two types of people, those who became victims and those who made victims of others, and she was determined not to become the former. In her early teens, her mother died of a drug overdose, leaving Dawn to fend for herself. After a few years of living on the street, part of a gang of youths, she was arrested in part of the city's 'Clean-up Taskforce' and sent to juvenile prison.<br/><br/>In prison she became a trouble-maker and was reassigned to a high security boot camp style facility. Slowly she developed into a tough, smart, and highly skilled young woman with more than simply surviving till the next day being the only thing she cared for. As soon as she was released she joined the military, excelling at the physical and mental tests required during enlistment and was enrolled in the space-fighter pilot academy. She graduated near the middle of her class, overcoming some disciplinary problems stemming mainly from insubordination and the almost complete disregard for regulations she didn't care for o avoid falling dead last.<br/><br/>Her talent undeniable, she quickly earned a name for herself as a pilot and in the course of her first deployment fell in love with a fellow officer. Their romance lasted three years before he was killed in a freak training accident. Her ex's ship was hit by a small metal fragment that stripped off the carrier and struck the ship, destroying the controls. As she watched horrified, her lover's ship careened out of control slamming into the ship carrier and exploding.<br/><br/>After the accident, Dawn fell into a spiral of alcoholism and aggressiveness. She blew off the ordered therapy sessions her commanders ordered for her and her infractions mounted. Finally, she was thrown in the brig for two months for assaulting an officer and breaking his jaw. Shortly after her release from military prison, she was drummed out of the service.<br/><br/>She gained a job as a pilot on a freighter line, the job isn't much, but she scrapes by, losing herself in alcohol to avoid the pain of her loss.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Aggressive, Risk-Taker, Overconfident, Casual, haunted by nightmares of her ex's death.<br/><br/><strong>Enochian Ability: </strong>------<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Poker, Money, Beer and Whiskey, her privacy, being in control<br/><strong>Dislike:</strong>losing, authority in people she doesn't respect, has an irrational fear of spiders<br/><strong>Habits:</strong>Dresses haphazardly, exercises regularly, often drinks when bored, talks to herself when piloting, still carries a sidearm.<br/><br/><strong>Aspects</strong><br/>Positive: Hot-Shot Pilot, Good Shot, Beautiful, Very Fit<br/>Negative: Drinker, Overconfident, Nightmares, Dislikes Authority<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Pilot (4) - Great<br/>Blaster (3) - Good<br/>Alertness (3) - Good<br/>Athletics (2) - Fair<br/>Endurance (2) - Fair<br/>Fists (2) - Fair<br/>Starship Ops (1) - Average<br/>Repair (1) - Average<br/>Computer Use (1) - Average<br/>Melee Weapons (1) - Average<br/><br/><strong>Composure and Health</strong><br/>Composure: [][][][][]<br/>Health: [][][][][][]<br/><br/><strong>Perks</strong><br/>Fastest thing in Space<br/>Unsafe Velocities<br/>Skill Flexibility (Pilot/Starship Ops)"

The terraforming seemed to go just fine on Manlia, but there was something the scanners missed. A mutagen unique to the planet powerfully but gradually modified the pituitary glands of the settlers, slowly enough that it wasn't noticed by the primitive equipment left them until too late - testosterone levels were rising. The men slowly became hairy and violent (more than before!) to the point where many of them were killing each other off before even being able to breed. Women were following in their path, but were able to create a new genome that resisted the mutagen, but at the cost of combining the sexes. The new gender, created by women, maintained its femininity for the most part, but included the integral part that prevented women from mating with each other normally. The Manlia scientist women had successfully created a fully functional hermaphrodite, even capable of reproducing with regular humans of both genders, and with itself. Created by and appearing as women (though the genome has a greater capability for masculine women), they retained the pronoun ""her,"" even as men died out finally on Manlia.<br/><br/>The major problem conquered, Manlia entered a renaissance of science and industry, quickly rising among the civilized planets as an economic power.

the keys did not even show signs of begin active.  Yet somehow Halcyon was reconstructing the computer's programs to make it more efficient than was thought possible.  When the teacher touched her, the computer's programs and display shorted out and all data was irrevocably lost.<br/><br/>As professionals and government agents started to investigate, it quickly became apparent the autistic girl was a savant of sorts; her power to manipulate the Breath of Enoch as it flowed through the circuitry and processors of computers was extensive....but limited by her presence.  Without her touch, the new programs and incredible power faded quickly, or even catastrophically failed and destroyed the computer.<br/><br/>Enochian Ability: Cyber-Psi.  Halcyon is a low grade electrokinetic.  While she cannot throw bolts of lighting or even painfully shock anyone (though she has demonstrated the ability to act as a living 'violet wand' to the surprise of small animals and sensitive women), she can create tiny electrical and magnetic fields.  While not enough to do anything very overt other than charge tiny batteries and play with iron filings, when given access to computer's wiring through a console or input-output device she can manipulate and modify any programs or systems the computer is attached to, for benefit or detriment.  Anti-hacking protocols and defenses are useless against her; she can apparently out-think them and write code faster and more complex, and even enhance a computer's abilities by leaps and bounds.  This does have limitations - she cannot access a computer indirectly at all.  The insulation and EMP shielding, a common necessity on most computers in spacecraft, prevents her manipulation as will walls and other objects between her and a computer's I/O devices.  The instant she ceases her manipulation the computer reboots (and less powerful computers will hard reboot, destroying their programming utterly down to but not including the machine code), so doing with with a jump computer or other interstellar travel system is tantamount to attempted suicide.  This is the asset for which she is most often included with ships crews.<br/><br/>Personality: Autistic.  Halcyon cannot communicate meaningfully with anything other than computers and small animals (large animals scare her).  She seems to understand when she is being spoken to, but whatever she seems to hear isn't that coherent.  Usually, she will adopt a 'keeper' which tends to be someone who is calm and thoughtful, and not very likely to yell directly at her no matter what they say or claim to feel towards her.  Halcyon will usually obey this person, though it is unclear if she actually understands what is said to her or she is just responding to their body language.  She is a sweet girl other than a regrettable tendency to freak out when her 'toy' is taken from her.  Halcyon seems to understand ship-board life very well, and responds to emergency alerts and commonplace shipboard dangers by rote: if a pressure warning is given, she will automatically attempt to go and put on a space-suit; if a fire breaks out she immediately retreats towards life pods.  She is an innocent in all ways, and hopefully will remain so.<br/><br/>Likes:  Small furry animals, motherly women, her Toy, sitting in laps, computers, music.<br/>Dislikes:  Large animals (with the odd exception of sharks - she seems to find them irresistible and will make every effort to pet them), loud noises, yelling, electromagnetic fields, dimensional rifts.<br/>Habits:  Has a small, incomprehensible object which is called, for lack of a better name, her Toy.  This Toy seems to be a decorative metal cube, but she can manipulate it, forming it into shapes and objects and causing it to gleam in strange colors and patterns.  It functions as a sort of 'personal computer' but she has never actually connected it to another computer.<br/><br/>Aspects:<br/>1.  Bad robot!<br/>2.  Huh?<br/>3.  I know this....<br/>4.  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!<br/>5.  I don't like you!<br/>6.<br/>7.<br/>8.<br/><br/>Skills:<br/>4: Mysteries<br/>3: Computer Use, Sixth Sense<br/>2: Resolve, Repair, Power Use<br/>1: Fists, Empathy, Starship Operations, Alertness<br/><br/>Health: [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/>Composure: [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>Perks:<br/>1.

what zones the conflict encompasses if it occurs over a broad area.  Unless supported by an aspect, only characters in the same zone can attack each other.<br/><br/><strong>Movement:</strong>A character can move one zone per turn, while a starship or vehicle can move a number of zones equal to its speed rating.  This range can be extended by 1 by making a speed or athletics roll with a total equal to the total number of zones moved.  (failing this roll inflicts 1 point of stress)  Giving up on attacking increases the ""range"" of a character or starship by 1.<br/><br/><strong>Groupings:</strong>At the start of a conflict, all characters lacking the capacity for independent action should be grouped with a major character.  Characters leading a group can ""attatch"" one character in the group each turn at the start of their action.  Attatching an NPC grants a +1 bonus in all skills possesed by NPC, and the character with an attatched NPC can use the

attack to gain a +3 bonus on the attack.<br/><br/>Character Creation:<br/><br/><br/><strong>Step 1: Aspects</strong><br/><br/>The first and most important step to creating your character is to pick aspects.  Aspects are a collection of words or phrases that describe your character.  Things like ""Crack Shot""  ""Breath Sensitive"" ""Delicate Hands"" and ""It's a trap!""  Aspects can also be negative things, like ""Drunkard"" ""Brashly Overconfident"" ""Sadistic Bastard""  and ""It's not my fault!""  Positive aspects enable you to use Breath points to gain bonuses on actions related to them.  Negative aspects, meanwhile, enable you to gain Breath points when they hinder you or provide roleplaying opportunities.  Therefore, a balance of positive and negative aspects is advisable<br/><br/>Your character has 4 aspects, but you can leave up to 2 of them undefined and define them during play.<br/><br/><strong><br/>Step 2: Skills</strong><br/><br/>The next step, now that you know who your character is, is to decide what he or she is good at.  Your character has the following starting allotment of skills:  (the number by each skill indicates the base value of a check using that skill, and also how you can describe a check resulting in that number.  When you do something where there is an element of chance, you roll dice and, depending on the result, end up subtracting or adding up to three from or to the result)<br/><br/>1 skill at Great      (4)<br/>2 skills at Good     (3)<br/>3 skills at Fair       (2)<br/>4 skills at average

Weaponry<br/>Fetish (Any)<br/>Resist arousal<br/>Self Denial<br/>Sweet Pain<br/><br/><strong>Step 3: Composure and Health</strong><br/><br/>Composure reflects your ability to handle emotional and social setbacks, while health reflects your ability to survive in combat.  By default, you get five health boxes and five composure boxes, like so:<br/><br/>1  2  3  4  5<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>If your endurance or resolve is average or better, you get 6 health or composure boxes.<br/><br/>1  2  3  4  5  6<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>If your endurance or resolve is good or better, you get 7 health or composure boxes.<br/><br/>1  2  3  4  5  6  7<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>In combat, a character rolls a combat skill (such as blasters) against an applicable skill rolled by the defender (such as pilot).  It the attacker gets a higher result, the difference is applied to the defender as stress.  The defender must place an X in a health box with a number equal or higher to the amount of stress he has taken.  If this health box is already filled, he or she must fill in the next highest health box.<br/><br/>If a defender cannot fill in a health box, or does not wish to, he can instead take a Consequence.  A consequence is a bad situation, like an injury, a state of depression, or a loss of reactor containment.  A character can suffer three consequences before being taken out.  The first consequence is a minor consequence.  The second consequence is a moderate consequence.  The third consequence is a major consequence.  If a character is suffering a major consequence and takes another consequence, the attacker may determine what happens to him or her.  The only way to avoid this is to spend all force points to narrate the fate of your character.  (with GM approval)<br/><br/><strong>Step 4: Perks</strong><br/><br/>Your character gets three perks, special bonuses that help make him or her more interesting.  You may leave your perks undefined and define them during play, if you wish<br/><br/><strong>Money Shot:</strong>Whenever enemies are defeated by this character, they are defeated in a spectacular manner, falling off railings, falling on the self destruct switch, etc.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Companion:</strong>Gain an NPC with 4 stress boxes, 2 skills at good, 3 skills at fair, and 3 skills at average.  Can act independently as well as attaching like an ally can.  Good for representing robots, wingmen, and background lovers.  The companion must be tagged in,  causin g a switch in fighters, this action costs a fate point.  All consequences gained by either fighter apply to both.<br/><br/><strong>Love the Crowd:</strong>You may spend a Fate point and roll your love the crowd,  you may add a like amount to a roll in the next 5 rounds.<br/><br/><strong>Exotic Technique:</strong>When using one of your aspects, you either gain a +1 bonus or the action requires an additional skill to defend against.  (ST approval required)<br/><strong><br/>Assertive:</strong>May spend a force point to win initiative.<br/><br/><strong>Gimmick Toy</strong>: Your character has just the right tool(s) for the job.   This gadget counts as an aspect which may be changed at will  by spending a fate point.<br/><br/><strong>Insightful:</strong>May use a skill to add to add aspects; (usually bad ones) can add 1 additional aspect for every two points achieved on the roll beyond the first.  (applies to one skill, e.g. Insightful: Galactic Lore)<br/><br/><strong>Introspective:</strong>May remove a wound from the composure track once per scene by spending a breath point.<br/><br/><strong>Technique specialization:</strong>If you spend two breath and take a health level points before attacking, your sexual technique deal an additional 1d6 points of stress if they hit.  (ST approval required)<br/><br/><strong>Master of Disguise:</strong>May spend a fate point to temporarily leave play, then re enter play  by revealing that an NPC was the character in disguise.<br/><br/><strong>Persistent:</strong>May remove a wound from the health track once per scene by spending a fate point.<br/><br/><strong>Skill Flexibility: </strong>You may substitute one skill for another.  (only applies to one pair of skills, both skills chosen at the time this perk is taken, e.g. piloting <-> blasters)<br/><br/><strong>Chaotic Surge: </strong>At the end of a match,  a player may opt to initiate a wild surge.  1-30 (-50% drop in transformation points) 31-70 ( No change) 71-00 (+50) if the character spends three fate points it is an automatic 50 percent increase.<br/><br/><strong>Unstoppable:</strong>Can take an extra moderate consequence.  (May apply either to the health track or the composure track)<br/><br/>(Looking for more suggestions)<br/><br/><strong>Injury and Damage</strong>:<br/><br/>Whenever a defender suffers stress, the defender must place an X in a health box with a number equal or higher to the amount of stress he took.  If this health box is already filled, he or she must fill in the next highest health box.<br/><br/>If a defender cannot fill in a health box, or does not wish to, he can instead take a Consequence.  A consequence is a bad situation, like an injury, a state of depression, or a loss of reactor containment.  A character can suffer three consequences before being taken out.  The first consequence is a minor consequence.  The second consequence is a moderate consequence.  The third consequence is a major consequence.  If a character is suffering a major consequence and takes another consequence, the attacker may determine what happens to him or her.  The only way to avoid this is to spend all force points to narrate the fate of your character.  (with GM approval)<br/><br/>Alternatively, a defender who is taking a consequence may offer a concession, which causes the character to be instantly taken out, but get to narrate what happens to him or herself.  The attacker gets to choose whether or not to accept the concession.  If the concession was reasonable (in the eyes of the GM) the character takes a consequence instead, and gains a Breath point.  The attacker, meanwhile, loses a Breath point.<br/><br/><strong>Health Levels:</strong>As an aside when you take ""3"" damage you only fill in the Third health box,  4 would be only the fourth, ETC.<br/><br/><strong>Transformations</strong><br/><br/>The victorious party will receive 1D2X100 transformation points which may be banked or spent.  While the party that looses will receive 1D2X100 transformation points,  which can be be used by the victorious party or left floating.  (The winner may spend whatever ammount of transformation points the victim possesses, and also use their own pool)<br/><br/>Transformation ascetics:  Anything is possible with ST approval,  though lower grade changes (Cheaper)  should be relatively simple changes to the character.<br/><br/>Transformation bonuses/Penalties:  removing and buying fate points cost 150  per point.<br/><br/>Increasing/decreasing skills:  Costs 200X the current rating.<br/><br/>Buying a new skills 400 XP and it starts at (Average)<br/><br/>Altering Aspects:  Cost 400<br/><br/>New perk Current slots X 300<br/><br/>Altering Perk  400<br/><br/>Buying/ granting new Aspect cost 500<br/>"

A cascading mane of perfectly straight hair grows from behind and the top of his head, reaching the middle of his  an almost shimmering silvery blue color. This is complemented nicely by the plum-colored bone crown his horns make around his head, just low enough that they miss his flicking, alert ears. The coloring of the rest of his body could be described by an irreverent Hume as a 'Russian Blue', with darker blue stripes running down his back, and on the outside of his slender, but wiry-looking arms.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Born to relatively common Mithra parents, Jasper's early manifestation of his summoning ability, in the form of his sweeping horns, slated him for training since the moment he could walk. Given that most Summoners grow only one horn, Jasper's twin horns marked him as much more attuned to the Summoning energies than most others. However all this attention did stunt his childhood, since he was either being trained or taught at most waking moments of his early life. To remedy this, once his initial training was complete, the decision was made to send him out into the world, to learn from the greatest Summoners still alive.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Jasper is easy-going, and a bit naive, due to his isolated upbringing. He sees the world as one giant classroom, seeing always what any situation can teach him.<br/><br/><strong>Goals:</strong>Jasper simply wants to make the most of his current freedom, by mastering these mysterious skills that have been handed to him.

Red turning black with hints of blue strands of hair are slightly curled and damp from sweat, her large hat kept it all pinned in one spot out of her eyes. it was so much better then when she shaved her head. Jet fuel eyes gaze up to the big boss man, trying to finish her meal before having to make port.

Moving down the corridors it truly irked her, the wrinkle on the thick sheet metal and the off color lines from one of the crew's touch up weilding.

More speed? More Power? Damn, it must be her birthday cause the big boss man rarely gave an inch when it came to his horde. He looked to her and she was already bouncing with large kitteny eyes glittering up at him. Breathless and giggling the moment he directed a sten look at her, like she wouldn't get that big puppy on boards and achor it down as fast as she could just to hear the roaring purr tickle her ears and soften her heart.<br/><br/>"" Fu'k ya, Capt'n.

Dancing in a tight circle with a gigglish glee  before pushing up to cuddle into him. ""We goin' ta kick sum ass and show 'em where ta suck it, right, Commodosa!""  One of those hands came over to cup his groin and give it a little squeeze.

He stood dumbfounded, watching her dance a little victory jig, then literally fawn over him, adding a grope in, for good measure.

I would like for this trap to occupy the vertical corridor on the far right.<br/><br/>1. There will be a thin line (6"" at the most) going down the middle. This line can be jumped up and down on with no effect. To either side, the tiles will be pressure plates, designed to withstand a small bastard (kobold, goblin, halfling) running along, but anything heavier will activate them. Needs springs and mechanisms.<br/><br/>2. Mechanisms (wires, chains, more springs, cogs) will run up the wall so as to drop a heavy iron gate at each entrance to the corridor. They should weigh about 50 pounds each, so that they can be lifted, but with difficulty.<br/><br/>3. small levers will be in the grooves where the gates drop. The first one will activate a series of daggers to be thrust through the floor. This treats the area as caltrops - walking slowly (and forfeiting your Dex to AC) means you're safe, anything else causes stabbing of the feet and the movement penalty.<br/><br/>4. The other gate-lever will cause crossbows/shotguns to fire through holes in the walls.

In a nearby city, there stands a guild of paladins. Within their sacred halls, their leader is nigh untouchable, and has thwarted many lesser villains.

For this, you have two choices: Raze a nearby village, or break into the guild hall and steal the shield of their founder, Sir Valgarde. Either of these is likely to draw their attention to you, in force; the advantage of the latter is that you have the trophy of the shield, though it is a more difficult task.<br/><br/>Once you have accomplished this, you'll need to defend your lair against intrusions by the holy warriors, bent on rooting you out.

Small towns dot the way, built around packed inns and stables on the trade route. The road is heavy with traffic, people walking on foot and merchant carts trundling past. Some of the travelers on foot are hitch-hiking and riding with a merchant's cart. Something you might get to do yourself for a couple of copper or the offer of good conversation.<br/><br/>For the final day, you can see the massive walls and spire of Dalbaeth approaching, built in the ancient empire the walls are a wonder, hundreds of feet high built from the blue-streaked white marble common to the ancient constructions. The spire is equally famous, built in the modern day to be higher than the walls surrounding the town, to show that modern craftsmanship can equal the works of the ancient empire.<br/><br/>As you get closer, you approach one of the tow massive stone double doors of the city, either in the north or south. The gateway into the town is a hundred feet wide, leading into the equally sized main road that runs to a bustling merchant green an eighth of a mile in, then to the foot of the spire.<br/><br/>The spire is a massive tower, reaching over a thousand feet into the sky. At the base, the sheer quantity of stone makes it resemble a mountain, yet towards the top as it rises past the wall the brute stone gives way to an elegant tower and wide flat topped platform carved like an unfolding flower from modern, conventional marble in imitation of the architecture of the ancient empire.<br/><br/>The town architecture, both modern and ancient, takes on a gothic aspect. High windows, pillar and buttresses make the walls into elegant works of art. Gargoyles, both whole bodies and faces are carved everywhere.<br/><br/>In the southwest an inner wall, smaller by far than the gargantuan outer walls but still several stories high walls off nearly a quarter of the town from the rest. Beyond the walls are tightly packed twisting corridors of wooden buildings, crowded with activity and people. This is the only part of the city where wood replaces stone buildings.<br/><br/>Around the spire, in the centre of the city, clusters of manors and mansions are built out of marble in imitation of the ancient architecture. Here and there a few buildings actually appear to be from the ancient empire, carefully maintained and preserved.<br/><br/>In the west a massive cathedral stands as a piece of soaring gothic architecture. Behind it is a vast graveyard filled with eleaborate monuments and mausoleums. It is clearly not a graveyard for the average man, but the final resting place of the wealthy and powerful.<br/><br/>The eastern wals are clustered with the workings of industry. Plumes of smoke push up against the wall but even smoke struggles to rise over the wall, so soot and ash mix in that district to create a perpetual haze. You hear many people walking from that section with horrible coughing fits and black stains clinging to their clothing."

He can hear the passionate moans and screams of ecstasy from here, but was forbidden to participate in the orgy.<br/><br/>A sigh escapes him as he rubs his eyes that were getting heavy with boredom. It seemed that his job here was pointless. One would have to be a complete idiot to wander away from an orgy as grand as this one. But still, security was paramount. There was a lot of people on the guest list, and the temple did have a number of valueable artifacts as well as items of spiritual power that needed protecting.<br/><br/>He considered leaving his post to peek in on the orgy, but highly doubted he could talk his way out of it were he caught. ""Come on...this is so unfair...this is like the fifth time I've done something to serve your temple, the least you could do is give me a slave girl to occupy myself with."" He said, complaining to a large statue of the Snake Goddess that stood in front of the sanctum. Like all statues, it was unmoved by his words. After another moment of silence...or as close to it as was possible with the near by orgy going on, he laughed to himself. ""I thought you might say that.""

You had to look close to pick him out. From his perch he could keep an eye on the gate and also guard the other possible way into the temple grounds, namely climbing up the western wall and over the roof to the courtyard below.<br/><br/>His cold blue eyes watched the archway to the outer sanctum that was to the left of the courtyard.  There was a slight smile as he watched the man, another guard, taking advantage of the shadows as he had. Another professional who knew the advantages of surprise. He appreciated that. Though for the love of the goddess he wondered why the man had paused and appeared to be having a conversation with a statue of the goddess. Then as before the guard melted back into the shadows. After this night was over he would have to meet such a professional to see if the statute had talked back.<br/><br/>Then his eyes shifted to the curvy priestess. Was she the one that had hired him earlier? Giving him a sultry smile and suggesting that a greater reward then the generous offer of silver would be his after the celebration? It was that which made him agree. He disliked crowds and tended to avoid them. All around him came sounds of the ""celebration"" which spoke of many people and was quite distracting from the job at hand. He knew there was a third guard around but his questing eyes didn't see him yet but he could be patient and as immobile as the statues around him.<br/><br/>A slight clink drew his attention. For a moment he strained his ears trying to screen out the crys of delight and other sounds that drifted through the air. A slight scrape and ... giggles? Rogue moved silently across the roof to the west wall. Caught on the edge was a hook and rope. Climbing the rope and trying hard to stifle their giggles were a pair of underage boys planning to crash the celebration. Like a monster, Rogue rose from the roof looming over the edge. With crys of shock and terror, nearly losing their grip, the boys went down and scattered half falling into the darkness of the structures below.<br/><br/>Rogue pulled up the rope and left it coiled on the roof. He returned to his post and became one with the statues again. That was probably going to be the most exciting event of the night ... unless that sultry smile had the meaning he hoped it did."

align=""center""><strong>History</strong></div><br/><em>When the Netherese empire of the humans first took dominion over the mainland, Farport was but one of many small fishing villages dotting the coasts of the Estebar Sea.  Traders, however, occasionally found strange artifacts among the usual goods to be found in the village and eventually expeditions were mounted to explore the island.  Some of these ventures ended in tragedy, but those that succeeded were each more successful than the last.  Each party that explored deeper reported more ruins, more secrets to be uncovered.<br/><br/>As the empire's attention grew, so too did the village.  Nestled in the only natural harbor on the island, the fishing village became the bottleneck through which all non-magical travel went.  Public works funds flowed from the empire's lands to Farport, creating a vast metropolis amply capable of accommodating the traffic to and from the island.  The explorers who traveled through town continued to find ancient wonders, dabbling in such powers that beings from all over the planes began to take notice of this new city.<br/><br/>The city took on a life all its own, giving rise to feuding noble families and merchant princes.  Soldiers fought back the surrounding wilderness and monsters, allowing the construction of villas and even a few ornate palaces out in the countryside.  Development continued with prospectors digging mines into the surrounding mountains and noble families excavating catacombs to entomb their ancestors under the city.<br/><br/>The final blessing came to Farport in the waning days of the Empire, as the nobles of the mainland bickered over a declining supply of wealth and influence.    The location of the treasury became a particularly contentious issue, with no one trusting the other to guard over it.  In a last-ditch effort to appease the nobles, the Emperor moved the treasury to Farport, where none of the entrenched families held power over the other.  Even this effort proved futile, though it left Farport in a unique position as the empire collapsed.<br/><br/>Soon the fleet was sold off or impressed by warlords, leaving Farport isolated.  The armies guarding the countryside against the vicious beasts that imperiled it were recalled.  It all happened so fast that the people of Farport woke up one morning to find that the amassed wealth of the empire was now solely theirs.  The Lords of the City quickly began harvesting from the treasury to recruit strong heroes to keep the monsters of the wilderness at bay.<br/><br/>Today, perils still abound on all sides of the city.  The treasury remains stocked, with the city exporting the rare goods of the island to replenish the coffers.  This makes the funds available and makes Farport the premiere home for adventurers the world over.  Heroes may make a fortune disrupting the goblins outside the city, exploring the ruins of the Deep Valley to the south, battling the pirates that pray on the city's exports, recovering lost heirlooms from the catacombs of noble families, or any other number of adventures to be had.  For this reason, new adventurers from the weakest to the strongest arrive every day</em><br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Character Creation</strong></div>New players in Farport can choose to create a new character in any of the 3 tiers.  That means 1st, 11th, or 21st level.<br/>Characters may do a lot of solo adventuring and thus 48 Point-Buy is allowed, with no ability being raised above 18 before racial modifiers at 1st level.<br/>Magic Items and gold are standard as per level.<br/>I have the WotC character builder so you can draw on any source for character building, including previews.  Monstrous characters are pretty much all okay, if you're coming by boat or magic, the city watch assumes you're decently civilized.  If you can make your own character with the builder and email me the character file, all the better.  Otherwise just use Myth Weavers or PM me a text stat block, or anything similar.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Homebrew Rules</strong></div>(Still in progress.  These rules can be foregone by any player though no xp will be earned from sex)<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">New Stats</span><br/>In Farport, all characters have Lust Points.  By default, these are equal to the character's maximum Hit Points.  Lust Points recover fully with an extended rest.  Whenever a character spends a healing surge, they can choose to regain Lust Points instead of Hit Points.  A character also has a certain number of Appendage Slots and a certain number of Receiving Slots.  Most humanoid males have 1 appendage slot (penis) and 2 receiving slots (ass and mouth).  Most humanoid females have 0 appendage slots and 3 receiving slots (vagina, ass, mouth).  Other creatures will be classified as having more slots at the DM's discretion.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Causing Orgasms</span><br/>When pleasuring another creature, a character makes an attack roll modified by strength, dexterity, or charisma.  These indicate characters who use overwhelming physical pressure, delicate positioning and maneuvering, or their own attractiveness to pleasure others.  The attack is made against either the Fortitude, Reflex, or Will defense (whichever is highest).  This reflects characters who rely on physical resilience, flexibility, or mindpower (think of baseball) to delay their orgasm.  This attack roll cannot be done as a minor, move, or standard action.  It is a sexual action, defined later.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Orgasms</span><br/>A successful attack roll causes the target to orgasm.  An orgasm causes 1d6/tier damage to lust points, modified by the same ability score that modified the attack roll.  A character taking a sexual action with the ""Penetration"" keyword rolls a 1d8 if their target is a size category smaller than them and a 1d4 if their target is a size category larger.  A character taking a sexual action with the ""Receiving"" keyword does the opposite, 1d8 against larger targets, 1d4 against smaller targets.  When a character causes a target to orgasm, the character gains experience points as if they had defeated a minion of the target's level.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Effects of Orgasms</span><br/>A character at 0 lust points can only make minor actions.  They are still conscious but unharmed and almost completely sapped of energy.  A character with lust points equal to their bloodied score expressed as a negative value passes out, immediately taking an extended rest from which they cannot be woken until it is concluded.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Sexual Action Types</span><br/>A sexual encounter involves sexual actions and foreplay actions.  A sexual action takes 10 minutes of in-game time.  A foreplay action takes 5 minutes of in-game time.  The specific actions listed below are sexual actions by default.  Actions with the ""Foreplay"" keyword can optionally be performed as a foreplay action.  A foreplay action comprises a regular attack roll the same as a sexual action, but a success causes no orgasm, instead providing a +2 circumstance bonus to the next sexual action carried out by the character against the target of their foreplay action.  Bonuses from successive foreplay actions stack.  These bonuses apply only to the first sexual action carried out after any series of foreplay actions."

The dream had come back again, it always came back… She sighed and looked over at the clock next to her cot. Her room was tiny, room for a bed, a table and chair, and a place to stuff her clothes. She didn’t need more than that really; she didn’t have much in the way of possessions that needed space.<br/><br/>With a heavy sigh she swung her legs over the edge of her bed and reached for the metal cup that sat on the table, at the same time grabbing the dirt-stained bottle of whiskey that stood silently next to it and quickly poured herself a quick one. Dawn knocked it back with the finesse of a pro, or just someone who spent far too much time staring at the bottom of a bottle.<br/><br/>She glanced again at the clock and shrugged, her shift wasn’t on for a couple hours, but screw it. She wasn’t going to get back to sleep and nobody enjoyed being stuck on the bridge watching the half dead gauges and staring at distant stars. She pulled the dirty tank top off, tossed on the back of the chair and slipped into an olive green number sleeveless t-shirt that if it couldn’t be called well laundered, at least didn’t have any obvious stains and didn’t smell like it had spent the night passed out in the back-street of some slum-town spaceport. She stood up and slipped into the same baggy matching pants she’d worn the day prior before lacing on a pair of black combat boots. She wasn’t reg, but who or what was on this piece of flying junk? As far as she could tell, the whole thing was held together by some well placed string and maybe a few ounces of glue, and if the whole thing should come apart, well, no big loss.<br/><br/>She started for the door, then stopped and turned, reaching for the coat that lay in a heap on the floor. She pulled a small silver flask from the inside pocket, shook it quickly to hear the slosh of the fiery liquid that soothed her memory and grinned to herself before stuffing that in her pocket. On her way out the door, she yanked the pistol and its holster off the wall in stride and headed for the common room.<br/><br/>She shoved open the door, her eyes scanning the room quickly as she stepped inside, almost overlooking little Halcyon under the table but for the glint of the light off her ‘toy.’ “Morning Hacly.” She said to the girl, barely paying the girl much attention. The kid was a tinkerer, didn’t speak much if at all, and was just… odd. Dawn didn’t care much for tinkerers or talkers, she was more of an action girl herself, but the kid seemed all right. She at least was quiet, and that to Dawn made up for a lot. She grabbed a metallic mug off the table, looked inside to see a little brownish liquid which she dumped into the sink, half-heartedly hoping it wasn’t clogged up again. Of all the things on the ship that needed to be kept in shape, the coffee maker was the most important in her mind. You’d go crazy without it she figured, pouring herself a healthy cup of the too-strong liquid that had probably sat there since the previous evening and now was no doubt terrible to taste in its scorched glory. “See ya later kid, don’t blow anything up, ‘kay?” she announced, raising the cup in a salute as she left the little galley.<br/><br/>The way to the bridge was easy and unoccupied, which was fortunate. With all the junk and panels opened in the hallways, a crowd would be unmanageable. She stopped in the doorway of the bridge and glanced over at the occupied chair. Looked like Adam was up on watch, “Morning,” she announced, breaking the silence. “Hope I didn’t scare you. Look, I couldn’t sleep so I can take over watch if you like.”<br/><br/>She could have been Adam’s complete opposite. She wasn’t even close to being in a regulation outfit. Her shortish blonde hair was a mess having been slept in and only matted down slightly by her fingers. Everything about her screamed sloppy and careless, much like the ship which she had been hired to pilot. Perhaps unlike the ship, the outward appearance simply hid her true strengths. She was a skilled pilot, very skilled, even more so if she was flying something that didn’t handle like a drunken elephant in a tropical storm.<br/><br/>She looked over at Risa and Warren who also seemed to be lurking about, “Anything exciting go on?”<br/><br/>"

I may have left my home early, but her customs were still ingrained into me. Each Manlian, including the Keen, was considered property of the Manlian that had broken her. This meant that when I was home, there were several hundred women that could legally rape me in the streets if they so pleased. The ownership was also considered absolute, and thus if two of my Mistresses crossed paths and disputed over me, any and all conflict rising between them over me would be held up in court as appropriate.<br/><br/>I wondered what Halcyon would think of this.<br/><br/>I lay her down gently on the medbay table nearest to the door and spread her legs gently.

Just wanted to make sure. Also,a s far as the spell, I can't find it, but it should be good... as for which 3rd level to remove? I've, effectively, played the party Beguiler for the last 3 levels, and he's only used two different 3rds; Haste and Dispel Magic. Haste is abuse, anyway, so that can be traded away. *wicked grin*<br/><br/>No; the player's skill checks will make little to no impact. I'll just go down the list of mechanics now.<br/><br/>The Dungeon Lord will be able to perform three actions per day; any given minion can only perform one. Actions include Building a Room, Raiding, Trap Crafting, Plotting (Lord only), Recruiting (Lord only), or Guarding (Generally Minion only).<br/><br/>Building a room is a three step process: Planning (Lord Only, no check.) This is simply an action to lay out the specifics of the room for the minions. Digging, which is removing the stone and dirt, to carve out the room. A slow, tedious process; an average strength minion can, generally, clear 1 5x5x5 cube per day. Stronger and larger minions can work faster; this is usually done by assigning multiple minions, and usually takes 3-4 days for an average room. Finally, Furnishing, which is smoothing the walls, laying the flagstone tiles, and placing furniture. This is usually fairly quick; one minion usually covers four tiles in a day.<br/><br/>Raiding is a simple process; the participants, as a group, decide on one of three methods for acquiring goods: Brute, Cunning, or Guile. The collected creatures make a stat check, based on the choice, STR, DEX, or INT, respectively, plus a bonus equal to half of level/CR. The DC, initially, will be 19; every success, and every three points over the target number, grants a single loot point. Loot points are a percentile roll after every attempt, success or not, at Raiding. Roll equal to or less than the number of loot points, you acquire something and the total resets to 15. Fail, and keep your points for the next attempt. Only one raiding party can leave for the day, per Lord, though if the Lord spends multiple actions Raiding, they may make multiple checks int he same day.<br/><br/>Trap Crafting is a straight INT+half level check, against a DC based on the CR of the trap; success means it's placed, failure means no trap is built. Only one trap project may be begun per day, and additional minions can add bonuses to the check.<br/><br/>Plotting works similar to Raiding, in that a success acquires Plot points, towards a percentile roll to come up with a devious plan. The difference is that it starts at 0, and Plots tend to be far more important that Loot; enough Plots completed, and the game is won.<br/><br/>Recruiting is a Lord only activity, usually relying on STR, WIS, or CHA, to make a check against a creature or creatures to convince them to join you. Similar math to above.<br/><br/>Guarding means the creature takes no action but to patrol the lair; this means that, if you are attacked that day, the creature may be deployed into combat at your choice, rather than forced to remain in its given space, when heroes invade.<br/><br/>Other options may appear, as the game progresses."

Only your Lieutenant (who will be acquired later) has higher HP than a minion.<br/><br/>And yes, having all creatures on Guard is a viable, and almost encouraged, tactic during some Plots that may arise; ""defend the lair for X days"" would certainly encourage that, although keep space limitations in mind.<br/><br/>On the note of space, all minions take up a number of squares in your lair equal to either their CR, or their size category+1. So an ogre would take up 9 squares (Since one size above a 2x2 large is 3x3), and a CR6 Medium creature would take 6 squares.

In each squad, at least one must have one of the above feats. Additionally, you receive the following 'commanders':<br/>- 1 level 3 wizard or level 3 trapsmith per 4 squads (16 guys + 1 leader)<br/><br/><strong>Target Practice</strong>(by SunTzu)<br/><em>You usually get peppered with arrows, but that's okay.</em><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Requirements:</span>Kobold, Gnome or Goblin<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Benefit:</span>You gain DR 5/melee.* If there is a Kobold, Goblin, or Gnome in a straight path behind you, the attack is resolved as if the other goblin had been target and hte arrow passes through your clothing/cloak/arm fat/head with no effect.

The assassin needed to get into a mansion. At night. There were guards posted at the gate of the outermost wall, and no trees nearby, and a few hidden alcoves with guards. However the alcove-guards had terrible Spot/Listen, to reflect that they were more interested in keeping out of the rain and having a smoke. The top foot of the wall was designed to crumble with ease, and had iron spikes inserted. At the back, there was a single tree to climb to hop over... but some bastard had cleverly sawn through all the branches so they couldn't support any weight.<br/><br/>Once in, there was a hedge. With beartraps and assassin vines. The garden looked like the easiest way to get close without making any noise, but someone had the mistaken idea that if you plant caltrops and acid flasks, they'll grow into golems or something. The front door to the mansion had a fake lock - connected to a device of Shocking Grasp. Essentially, it's a fucking mansion, there's always<em>somebody</em>in there, so you never need to lock/unlock. You knock, and if you belong you're let in.<br/><br/>However there are multiple floors, and some balconies. The shed seems easy to climb... but some bastard decided to saw through the beams and just put loose iron sheets over, so walking across causes one to fall. They then dug a pit in the shed, and filled it with swamp dragons (more or less a swarm of 1/2 Dragon (Red) pseudodragons). Still, you can jump up onto a balcony... which has nails sticking up on the surface as it connects to an old storage room. The door is locked, and unlocking it from the outside causes a scythe to swish at knee-height.<br/><br/>One could also try climbing the walls: looking up shows that there are small decorative things that would make ideal handholds. Looking down from a height shows that actually, someone embedded razor blades in the walls at upward diagonals, so someone below would see a handhold, leap up, and lose their fingers.<br/><br/>Finally, there is a stable, which has a trapdoor for an emergency entrance/exit underground. Oddly enough the whole floor is oiled, meaning people fall over a lot. There's also a lot of hay and flour. And opening the trapdoor causes a bell to ring inside the mansion, so one could drop a torch there and ignite the tunnel.<br/><br/>It was a piece of mastery, but I had made it for a character that was good at dealing with traps. So the player was careful and smart about things, and the character abilities took over the rest - he took some injuries, but made it in and succeeded on the assassination.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Monsters: nastiest thing I recall doing was putting two shambling mounds in a room, and each one had two shocker lizards nested inside it. Each round, the lizards sent out a wave of electricity, hurting everything that wasn't a shocker lizard or shambling mound, and adding more and more Con to the shambling mounds. Seriously, if those plants had a Con-based attack, they'd have murdered the party. As it was, it took a very long time, and injuries were received. I was congratulated for being an evil bitch."

If you feel the need to discuss the game with all the players, ask for help with the rules, or whatever - you can write here, or just use Skype.<br/><br/>Anyway, here is the OOC thread, this (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=27775.0) is the IC thread and the recruitment (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=27240.0) thread."

I you miss one without warning me and asking for a delay, I'll just NPC the character and move the game along.<br/>If you miss a whole week, I will ask you if you want to be removed. If you do, please, let me know! I will be sorry, sure, but I'll have to live with that.<br/>If you miss a whole month without prior warning, you will be removed from the game, sorry. If you just take a holiday to go to Florida, or whatever, just let me know and this is not going to happen. Of course, the game might move along, but I'll try to do my best in protecting your character.<br/>I will have to post after you, of course, since I am GMing the game on top of being a player. You will know when I am acting as a GM (say, describing the outcome of your actions), because I will post it in either green (for normal situations) or red/darkred (for urgent ones, like combat, a chase, whatever ;D ).<br/><br/>Second, no god-moding, except if it's consensual! You only command your own character... if you want to use naother character, ask the player if s/he is fine with that (I suggest using Skype). I will not change the outcome once I've written it, so if you disagree with the way your character is being (ab)used, post it here!<br/><br/>Third, I will give you improvement checks onece per month real time, or immediately after the situation is resolved. The latter is less likely to happen, unless you really, really pull off something interesting. You can suggest improvement checks for yourself or for other players, of course... Just send me the roll, and if you improved a skill or stat, roll to see by how much. Beware that you need more than one improvement check to improve a stat or a ""special skill"".<br/><br/>Let the game begins!<br/>(Hopefully, it will. Sometime soon)."

I'm not going to bore you with that, though - let's just say that I do my best to be rather slow in some things, and there is more than one of these :P.<br/><br/>Now, while the characters were fast to go in bed, some of them have a shared story, some don't abide by conventional moral, some are impulsive, and every single one is pressed by the fact that he or she may very well die tomoorow. Not to mention having to pull off a distraction earlier in the night - and adrenaline rushes have some interesting side-effects ;D!<br/>Still, my point was that the story is not going faster than expected - it's just the action and danger causing the characters' relationships to develop even faster."

Without a bunch of hit points to fall back on, the fact that the foes are getting two or three attacks per combat round usually compensates for a difference in skill. <strong>Also, the relative low number of hit points mean that any surprise attack/ambush has a very good chance of crippling or killing a PC rather than “softening” them up as in most level based RPGs.</strong><br/><br/>There are lots of different Powers<br/><br/>Two slightly more general points but which might be of use if you are running your first game with a system.

Like dried up arteries of the structures themselves, frozen rose vines continue to remain clutched to buttresses and lattices throughout the ice locked garden of the inn's courtyard that remains locked in a frozen grip. In the less visited eves, icicles still hang long: the miniature Aurilite javelins pointed downward in a promise of death to those of more diminutive proportions that might pass underneath.<br/><br/>There would be no business today. Again.<br/><br/>The Trade Ward existed by the purchase coins of noble adventurers and wealthy merchant lord sons bent on adventure instead of trade. Merchant commerce would not commence again until after the melting, at least not in notable activity. The extended wintertide placed travel in a stranglehold: even simple commutes such as that from ward to ward in the very city itself. The Guild of Streetcleaners arose every morn by the fourth bell to throw out salt, but when the sea grew rocky the call to cease came down as the prices of salt rose quickly. A merchant's wealth was brought about by demand...or the anticipation of such before a shortfall even took place.<br/><br/>This is where we begin: after almost a ride of waiting in the Frostmaiden's grip. Tension seems to hang in the air, birthed of boredom or worry. The inn itself seems isolated to its patrons; the warmth and silence of the rented rooms broken from their stagnant spells by a brief excursion or the polite knock of food being brought by servants.<br/><br/>This morn has started different. Laid alongside the silver bell covering your breakfast is the unmistakable  cylinder of a scroll. Lace-white parchment bound by a simple band of black silk and wax-pressed button: the heraldry is complex but features elements such the flame of knowledge and a raven's feather.</em>"

He's usually moving around in his recruit Korvosan Guard outfit, keeping it clean to reveal the pride he takes in it, despite being a mere recruit. His dark hair is kept short out of convenience, and when wearing a helmet, only a few strings can be seen, peeking out from under his helmet. His face shows the same muscles as the rest of his body, with open eyes that show a friendly, sometimes naive look. While his sword is usually holstered, his shield is practically always strapped on when moving on the streets, kept high in the proper position.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Bennet grew up in the slums of Old Korvosa, together with his father Harald and younger sister Sarah, since his mother died due to a lack of healthy food when he was in his early teens. Being surrounded by the wrong side of crime has made the naive boy look up in awe at the Korvosan Guards, seeing them as the force to stop all this wrongdoing and bring good to the citizens in need.<br/><br/>Not too long ago, Bennett managed to assist a small squad of guards by tackling the culprit they were pursuing. After a brief talk with the guards, and inquiring if there was any more he could do for them, they sent him over to the barracks. At the barracks, they weren't too impressed due to his social standing and lack of actual training, but considering both his motivation and his physique, they gave him a chance as a recruit. Delighted by this opportunity, Bennett started to frequent the barracks often for his training, letting his sister take care of their father, who was growing rather ill as of late. Bennett assumed that when he would be accepted as a full guard and would earn loan, good food would make the old man better again.<br/><br/>One day, Bennett arrived home after a hard day of training, and found their little makeshift house next to the Narrows of St. Alika in ruins. He could quickly recover his father, who had taken a harsh beating, but no sign from his little sister. When his father woke up again, Bennett learned that she was taken by a group of thugs, possibly working for Gaedren Lamm.<br/><br/>Bennett quickly moved out to the streets and inquired more about this guy, learning of the ""Little Lamms"". Though he wasn't sure, more than one person seemed to indicate spotting a girl with appearances resembling Sarah among the group of cutpurses. The guard recruit hurried to the barracks to inform his superiors about the case, but though they regretted the young man's situation, they informed him that they couldn't do much about this ""Gaedren Lamm"" for now. With his naive believes for the guard shattering before his eyes, Bennett searched out for what he could do about the matter with his own two hands."

Also, literally bathing or sleeping on her (father's) riches and being treated and pampered whenever she can. Though she'd rather wine and dine, she's no Paris Hilton and can change tack quickly in any situation, be it social or otherwise. She spends much of her time among the high and mighty simply observing, only ever letting herself truly relax when she's alone.<br/><br/>Dragon  5<br/>Smooth Talker  4<br/>Keen Senses  3<br/>Socialite  3<br/>_____________________________________________________<br/><br/>Hitomi Saito - Myrleena<br/><br/>Tall at 5 foot 10 inches, Hitomi doesn't look like a classic Japanese beauty.  Her face has a more European cast to it, but is softened by her Oriental ancestry.  Bright green almond shaped eyes, much larger than normal, draw attention, and it's worth noting that they don't have an emphatic fold.  Long, black, almost knee-length silky hair falls down her back, and would reach her knees if she left it loose, rather than the more usual braid.  She usually wears black jeans, a slightly revealing black t-shirt that bares her midriff, and a thin jacket.  Common additions are a small backpack, sunglasses, and a black ball cap.<br/><br/>5 Transmutation<br/>4 Seductress<br/>2 Evocation<br/>2 Jeweler<br/>2 Shinto<br/><br/>Hitomi was the daughter of Kazumi Saito, a miko in Tokyo.  She never knew her father, as he only appeared in Kazumi's life once, but she did know he was half-fae.  She grew up expecting to take over after her mother at the shrine, going to school and such as she did, as well as learning magic from her mother.  Things were going well until about her 15th birthday.  One day a pair of men in gray cloaks arrived, calling themselves Wardens of the White Council.  They explained that her mother had been breaking the Laws of Magic by using spells to calm people in the shrine.  They gave her a warning and left, saying they would be keeping a close eye on her.<br/><br/>Hitomi began keeping an eye on her mother, pleading with her to take the warning to heart.  Kazumi tried, but gradually weakened more and more, until, on Hitomi's 18th birthday, the argument exploded.  She ended up binding Hitomi against her will, and that was enough for the Wardens.  Kazumi was killed on the spot, and Hitomi grabbed a few items and fled, afraid of the memories, and the Wardens.  For a short time she made a living around Tokyo, constantly moving and using her talent for Transmuting to get enough funds to survive, until the Yakuza began to take an interest in her.  Frightened even more, she did something foolish.  She contacted the youngest queen of the Winter Court for aid.<br/><br/>Hitomi tries to forget the year of service that she had to give the Winter Court, alternating blushing or pale-faced at the memories.  It's enough to say she wouldn't go back.  When she was released from the NeverNever, she found herself in the United States.  Fortunately she'd done well with English in school, and she made a living in much the way she had in Tokyo.  With some careful work she even managed to get citizenship over the 4 years she has been here.  It took some time to get to Las Vegas, but she reasoned that it was the best place to lie low, as well as find women who might be willing to let her stay the night in exchange for some company.<br/><br/>_______________________________________<br/><br/>Detective Josiah Kettering - Corinthi<br/><br/>Description:<br/>Short and stocky with dark hair, a perpetual five o'clock shadow, and scarred knuckles. Tends to wear nice suits that he mistreats, leaving them wrinkled and occasionally stained. His voice is rough and low, like he's been gargling with Jack Daniels and gravel, which might actually be the case. As a vice detective, he likes the seedier side of Vegas, and while he doesn't take illegal drugs, he is fond of drinking and prostitution, so long as he's not paying for it.<br/><br/>Cliches:<br/>Lycanthrope: 5 (Dresdenverse Lycanthrope.

He elected to join the Marines, perhaps having seen one war film too many. To everyones surprise, not least of all his own, he proved an outstanding recruit. By the end of his first tour he had attained the rank of Sergeant, and transfered to the SEALs, where once again he excelled. Unfortunately this promising military career was cut short by a terrible accident, with a helicopter going down due to a mechanical failure, killing all those on board.<br/><br/>For the best part of the next 10 years, an entirely different person served in an agency that doesn't exist, and did things all over the world that never happened.<br/><br/>Deep in a god forsaken stretch of south american jungle, he and his team ran across something else that didn't exist. Five days and nights of running fights saw a single survivor taken back to the lair of the things that didn't exist, where he was, of all things, offered a literal once in a lifetime opportunity.<br/><br/>He told them where they could shove it.<br/><br/>At that point all hell broke loose. He has memories of more running and gunning, and ended up being evac'ed by a rather strange group, who passed him along to colleagues of theirs. Some rather stuffy old men who knew entirely too much of what was and wasn't real explained a few things to him, and he signed on. The suits were good with the law and computers and dusty old books, but there were times what was needed was something a little less subtle and a little more direct.<br/><br/>And that's where he comes in.<br/><br/>Hypothetically, of course.<br/><br/>____________________________________________<br/><br/>Beatrice St. Croix, Warden of the Council - ShamshielDF<br/><br/>Beatrice seems somewhat out of place in Las Vegas, being overall more shy and bookish, but when it was found that she was a wiz at running the numbers and analyzing trends she was sent to the City of Sin to deal with those who used their arts to skew the odds in their favor.  Though the council had little interest in the earnings and losses of the casinos, it is in their best interest to keep things quiet and...even.<br/><br/>Warden of the White Council: 4<br/>Evocation: 4<br/>Math wiz: 3<br/>Bookworm: 2<br/>Linguist: 2<br/><br/>Beatrice grew up in a house of wizards, and got an early start on books.  She never really interacted well with others of her age, and found that only really books staid her in good company as she grew up.  She reads and fluently speaks a number of languages and will read almost anything that she can get her hands on, though her weakness is for philosophical texts and (to her great embarrassment) cheap romance novels.<br/><br/>Her adherence to the laws of the council, combined with her aptitude for swordplay and evocation spells led her to a career as a warden.  To this day she still has no idea that, in her training, most of the men were trying to woo her, or that her looks are what has gotten her through a number of doors in Vegas.<br/>"

Oh, I like them, but I call them ""stories"",a and I just read them a lot. If I wanted to write a story, I could do it without BRP (because, well, GURPS would be a better fit, not to mention some Indie systems ;) ).<br/>So, I started with a beginning, and I have in mind a way to go, but that's about it. There is no ""and my character does HHHXXXL to yours"". He might, or he might not. It's a game about characters and their story - whatever it turns to be.<br/><br/>So, the first idea for this game was called ""Escape from the cardinal's wrath"".<br/>The ""cardinal"" would be more of a figure of authority with large powers - he might be an actual cardinal, of course, but I decided to play in a polytheistic world and mad him a king's favorite. The characters happen to anger him, or her, each in their own way. So they get to run for their lives....<br/>(Sorry, no ""we are the characters, how can it be we've got to run"" - that's why I love more realistic systems).<br/><br/>So, the characters will get an warning, and a single one.

Being close to death is known to make such things to people. There is no guarantee, though, so don't take this as a vacation"".<br/><br/>Characters: since it's a fantasy, I planned to run ""a street werewolf"", using his talents for different shady jobs. Think ""a mercenary that learns too much""-or becomes a problem. Here is how I went about it.<br/><br/>So, here is the IC thread for the game, this (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=27779.0) is the OOC thread and the recruitment (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=27240.0) thread.<br/><br/>Cast of Characters.<br/><br/>(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/the_siren_master/Werewolf_by_necromanga.jpg)<br/>Name: Machado Halik<br/>Story:<br/>Once you find yourself on the street, you've got two choices. First one is to die. the second is, well, to find some means not to.<br/>After Machado found himself on the street, he opted for the second solution. It's easy to find yourself on the street, if your father thinks werewolves are a creature of darkness, and the local priest agrees. You might even find yourself in another place, unless you have already mastered he Transformation to some extent. If you succeed in achieving it when the mob comes for you, you even stand a nice chance to run away...<br/>So, he ran away from family, and joined a group of wandering actors. Being a hulking youngster, he was first employed as an aide, than for more manual tasks - like helping the others keep safe from trouble. Wandering between towns can be dangerous, you know...<br/>A little known fact is that for this reason, actors are often skilled in the use of weapons. So he got less and less training as an actor -hulking brutes do not require lots of skill, and more and more training in weapon use. He even began learning some unarmed combat, which is often the last stage when you can safely bet you'd always have an weapon at hand.<br/>It was not the Transformation that ruined that. They knew it and accepted it, after all, an werewolf often scares raiders away without needing to fight. No, it was as simple and human a reason as jealousy.<br/>Halik fell in love with one of the actresses. She was in love with the main star. He was in love with, well, Halik...<br/>Since Machado Halik feels a revulsion toward men as sexual partners, that<strong>was</strong>a problem indeed. So, he<em>consoled</em>himself with some female fans, when they moved from place to place. All in all, he wasn't unhappy. But the girl was, and wrongly believing the actor would accept her advances more benevolently was Halik not around, she accused him of trying to force her.<br/>He had to leave the people he had grown to love, and he felt betrayed by both his human and his wolf side.<br/>So he started to exploit his talents in killing. It was amazingly easy, most of the time. He had learned a lot about human nature during his trips, and being able to understand and influence people allows a clear way to and from even the most protected targets. And of course, most defenses don't assume an werewolf assassin.<br/>So he avenged the honour of cheated husbands, removed<em>unnecessary</em>husbands, avenged youngsters dying in duels with more experienced men, killed duelists on their way to the field where the gods give justice, and removed political opponents and trade rivals. He didn't care, most of the time, although he required to know.<br/>He even got an employer. A King's favorite, vying for the King's attention with his rivals at court, where all means were fair. He was hired as a man-at-arms for his personal Guard. It was a step up.<br/>The higher you go, the harder the fall. His employer had the bad taste to allow himself to get assassinated by another rival. Problem is, the winner was known for purging the ranks of any defeated opponent's allies. Machado was (perhaps wrongly) considered ""too faithful to be bought off"", and a potential avenger. So were most of the other Guards, but they died fast after a surprise attack with fire and steel.<br/>Machado wasn't there. He has been warned by a girl, and another brought him a letter from an old friend. He was dead, but he asked him to accept some<em>work</em>for him. Luckily, the target was the same politician that was after him anyway, so he could do this service to the memory of his old friend...<br/>Of course, not right now. He had to save his hide now, and probably another's.<br/>Survive first, return later. any wolf understands this logic. The Guards didn't, and died.

part of her conditioning was to experience under the church's 'guidance' those aspects of life that might interfere with her performance.  Freyja saw through this 'conditioning' for the guised debauchery, child abuse, and sexual deviancy that it truly was... but she lacked the ability to retaliate.<br/><br/>She contacted an internal faction of the church bent on Reformation and began to leak some highly damning evidence to Bishop Poraltis, who rivaled the Black Hand's own figurehead.  Her efforts failed, however, as Warczak's control of this 'quiet inquisition' brought him news of the plot in time to have Freyja and Poraltis 'excommunicated'.  Poraltis was executed publicly in an exceptionally grisly fashion, and Freyja escaped only by turning an incredible stroke of fortunate misdirection into a blood-soaked escape from her cloister.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>Having aged twenty-three years, Freyja retains the natural beauty of a young woman while, somewhere in her eyes, the darkness she's seen cannot escape, and lingers in her stony gaze, in the hollowness of a smile, or the hardness of her posture.  With cropped black hair that teases her cheekbones and full brown eyes, she is tall for a woman, possessing the build of an athlete and the practiced grace of a performer.  She wears garments designed not to attract attention, and though she did manage to smuggle away the exquisite armor and blade of her former service, she carries concealable weapons and travels without heavy pack.<br/><br/><br/>Special Ability: Black Hand (church assassin) 69%<br/><br/>Attributes:<br/>Strength (STR): 14<br/>Constitution (CON): 15<br/>Dexterity (DEX): 10<br/>Size (SIZ): 11<br/>Intelligence (INT):  15<br/>Power (POW): 12<br/>Charisma (CHA): 15<br/><br/><br/>Skills<br/>Art (base 05%)            5<br/>Boating (base 15%)         15<br/>Climb (base 35%)           40<br/>Conceal (base 20%)         25<br/>Craft (base 05%)         5<br/>Disguise (base 05%)         25<br/>Dodge (base DEX x2)         25<br/>Driving (base 25%)         25<br/>Evaluate (base 20%)         20<br/>Fast Talk (base 10%)         20<br/>First Aid (base 30%)         30<br/>Haggle (base 10%)         10<br/>Hand Weapon (base by weapon)      BASE+20<br/>Hear (base 30%)            35<br/>Hide (base 15%)            30<br/>Humanities (base variable)<br/>History (base 20%)         25<br/>Linguistics (base 00%)         0<br/>Influence (base 15%)         15<br/>Jump (base 20%)            35<br/>Language, Native (base INT x5)      75<br/>Language, Other (base 00%)      0<br/>Law (base 05%)            5<br/>Locksmith (base 00%)         0<br/>Martial Arts (base 00%)         40<br/>Mechanics (base 20%)         20<br/>Move Silently (base 15%)      55<br/>Natural Lore (base 15%)         15<br/>Navigate (base 10%)         10<br/>Notice (base 25%)         45<br/>Occult (base 15%)         35<br/>Oratory (base 05%)         5<br/>Research (base 25%)         40<br/>Riding (base 10%)         20<br/>Science (base variable)<br/>Biology (base 05%)         5<br/>Botany (base 05%)         5<br/>Chemistry (base 00%)         0<br/>Forensic Pathology (base 00%)      0<br/>Geology (base 00%)         0<br/>Medical (base 05%)         5<br/>Pharmacy (base 00%)         0<br/>Physics (base 00%)         0<br/>Surgery (base 00%)         0<br/>Zoology (base 05%)         5<br/>Social Science (base variable)<br/>Anthropology (base 05%)         5<br/>Archaeology (base 00%)         0<br/>Criminology (base 00%)         0<br/>Military Science (base 05%)      5<br/>Political Science (base 05%)      5<br/>Psychology (base 05%)         5<br/>Shiphandling (base 00%)         0<br/>Streetwise (base 10%)         15<br/>Survival (base 15%)         20<br/>Swimming (base 25%)         25<br/>Throwing (base 25%)         25<br/>Tracking (base 05%)         5<br/>Unarmed (base 50%)         50<br/>Wrestle (base 25%)         25"

The gods only knew how she had located him, but it meant his haven was not secure enough. What a friend can find, a killer can find too. He knew it. He had found safe havens that were not meant for him to find...<br/>And he has been hiding from the men-at-arms of the king's favorite ever since his employer has been killed, making him a renegade.<br/>After reading the letter, he fixed his gaze upon the girl.<em>""She's cute"",</em>he decided.<em>""Ah well, doesn't matter.

They reached another safe haven nearby - which was by itself far from safe to live in, but what goes for commoners is a bit different to experienced mercenaries. The two had decided to settle close to each other, but didn't want to share a room.

With both of them being nervous and having plenty of free time while hiding, they risked a quarrel, and quarrels amongst their kind tended to get nasty.<br/>Besides, they both had some secrets they didn't want the other one to uncover. At least, not yet.<br/>Anyway, the axe and impressive stature of the mercenary allowed them to walk safely the two streets that no local would allow his own wife or daughter to walk after sunset.

He was only a couple of feet away from her sitting body, and didn't seem to have noticed she had opened her eyes in this realm. He was probably feeling safe, after all, only a few people were able to let go of the physical realm and let their spirits soar - and only another could perceive his spiritual form, not to mention present a danger.<br/>It was curious, though, that the form of Machado was pulsating. Half of the time, he looked more of an wolf than a man. She had no idea what that might mean.<br/>Her form, of course, was that of a black-clad killer, beautiful and slender yet dangerous as a coral snake.

Machado just rested, relaxed, in a chair, while Freya slowly took off all the weaponry, that could take down a small fortress; when finished she grabbed the goblet again and positioned herself on a couch by the window, head and heels rested on the armrests. Though Lina was sure she still had a lot to defend herself with, it did give a certain message, that Freya was comfortable here, which was a good sign for her to relax a little as well.<br/><br/>She just took a chair by a table, on the opposite side to Machado and pulling one her leg to rest on the seat she propped her chin on her knee, taking only a small sip of the wine, noticing it was certainly better, than the monasterial excuse for a wine, but she knew she certainly didn't need much to get drunk and she wanted to avoid it.<br/><br/>“Well, respectable,” Lina pondered the words, “I suppose I do give that impression, but believe me, I understand the need… I’m just a little wide-eyed. Never been to a place like this before,” she admitted at last with a sheepish smile. ""And to be honest, the swiftness of the departure... I just think I never realized the situation was so... grave.""<br/><br/>Staring absently to the rippling red ocean in her cup she thought through and through what Machado demanded.<br/><br/>Kurrad had her facing the worst fears of hers, the only one he couldn't manage was actually the one she had just now: all the enemies lingering in the darkness around them, waiting to make a move or a strike. It required a state of permanent alertness, that she had never been forced to maintain.<br/><br/><em>""Fear is like fire: a good servant, yet a crude master,""</em>she heard him, as if he had told her so just yesterday and not three years ago. He had taught her to calm herself or to whip the fear as needed, use the drive of fear to strengthen her, not cripple her, like everybody. He taught her to recognize when her fear was just a childhood shadow of being afraid of a monster in the dark, or if it had had a solid base.<br/><br/>Still she knew she couldn’t have done justice to Kurrad’s tutoring today if Halik noticed her discomfort.<br/><br/><strong>""Lina, tell us of yourself, please.  I would like to know who you are, and what has befallen you.“</strong><br/><br/>Freya’s question caught her a little off guard. Unsure of what she could give out, she sought guidance in Machado’s look. He smiled a little to reassure her, so she reluctantly started to tell her story: “I was found as a few days old baby on a monastery stairs. Nuns took me in and nurtured me, educated me, but when I refused to become one of them, they shoved me out pretty quickly,” Lina couldn’t suppress a grin, that appeared on her face, but continued nonetheless, “So I set out, trying to find me some work and ended up with an old blacksmith, who could use a maid. He insisted on telling me a secret, when he was dying. I told him I didn’t want to know any, but he said I’d be hunted down either way just for living with him, so he’d wanted to make it worth the race. Turns out he knew Machado in the past; he gave me a letter for him and told me to seek his… guidance. So, here I am.”<br/><br/>Then she realized Freya might have been asking about something completely different.<br/><br/>“Or have you had in mind a recount of my training?” she asked with a smile."

Then he drank off the goblet at once.<br/>""For Kurrad, may his soul rest in peace in the Fields of the dead and may we meet him there , but not anytime soon!""<br/>Even the slaves got a goblet of wine to drink for Kurrad. Then Machado ordered them to make sex with each other.<br/>""We are in the mood for a show. Go ahead and give us a sight to watch!"", was about all the explanation he provided them. No more was required anyway. They started licking and fucking each other, showing what kind of skill can be achieved through lot of experience. They even showed some enthusiasm, perhaps hoping for another cup of wine.<br/>Machado just didn't pay attention to these tamed individuals. If humans were wolves, these two would have been puppies. He wasn't interested in puppies - in either of his forms... except for food.

lingers in her eye and her posture remains engaged and she leans closer to Lina.  ""So you can take care of yourself then?""  she asks, the slightest of smiles lingering still on her youthful, bow lips.  ""I wasn't aware that Kurrad had made you a pupil.""  She stands, slowly, the proximity making the gesture almost like an approach to Lina, as if she'd just made some advance at an embrace, but with her usual grace, she sidles around in a smooth semi-circle to the empty mid-room between the bed where Machado is starting to recline and the sagging, straw-stuffed mattress where the prostitutes are coupling.<br/><br/>Freyja kneels at the floor beside their bed and removes her boots, casual and seeming not to notice the two-- at this point, the young man's on his knees, the woman's legs wrapped around his waist as he steadily drives into her.  Her placement makes it impossible to look at her without noticing the writhing flesh just beyond her... the young female entertainer seems to be responding more than a typical professional might be expected to, and Freyja watches them for a moment as she removes her second boot.  The mercenary's eyes are half-closed, long black lashes like a demure curtain over her gaze as she appreciates the both of them, before turning back to watch Lina.  She looks over the young woman, appreciating not only her youthful beauty, but now considering her effectiveness as a weapon-- so much is impossible to gauge without seeing one in action.  ""We may have to fight for our lives.  And I fully intend to strike back, soon, at those who seek to destroy us.""<br/><br/>When Machado removes his nightshirt, Freyja's attention leaves Lina for a moment.  She watches him... she's seen him hardly clothed while training, quietly enjoyed the sight of his disciplined, honed form exerting powerful motions with martial precision.  They've holed up together before, and she knew the sight of his body by moonlight, and she remembered, as now, the musky male scent of his skin in close rooms-- somehow, he always seemed natural, and the raw power of him had always been incredibly inviting.  But somehow, they'd almost always kept their professionalism up like a wall, both of them on either side of some invisible barrier and aware of each other, but not able to reach out and satisfy that curiosity.  Only barely had Freyja-- a woman who could take a life effortlessly, who could assume new faces and demeanor like a chameleon until she was so close that her prey never recognized their killer-- even managed to cross that barrier to Machado, to touch him... much less release the desire he had, and was, stirring in her.<br/><br/>Lina's presence somehow tempers that desire for her... provides a bridge.  Surely, this was some side effect of her convoluted past, some lingering psychological trigger that was branded into her mind when she formed her identity.  Her childhood had not been easy, and was marked with so many separate traumatizing events that it was a wonder she'd survived with any kind of sanity.  As a result, she'd learned, she possessed internal 'triggers'-- and her physical and emotional responses at times such as these were amplified momentously.<br/><br/>Her feet now bare, Freyja stood again, slowly, her back to where Machado had lain himself on the bed and where Lina rested.  The wide-open neck of her armor-padding shirt having gapped so broad with her subtle motions that she glides right out with a subtle shrug, slipping the garment overhead from her fine-muscled back.  She tosses it aside, apparently without any regard, now, for her bared upper body.<br/><br/>The coupling slaves, though, do notice-- perhaps expecting their employers to engage in the act with them somehow, the young female only removes her gaze from Machado, Lina, and Freyja from time to time to look at the face of the young man rutting her or to watch his body flexing and his shaft burying itself in her.  Perhaps, after so many partners, she finds the sight of the strangers more appealing than what's actually happening to her.<br/><br/>Freyja doesn't seem to notice the change of the prostitutes' attention, and perhaps because of Lina's being a woman she shows no self-consciousness at being naked to the waist.  Her breasts are fine, high-- those of a young woman in excellent condition, upturning to small pink aureoles that rise up like soft pink domes around her small nipples.  Her cropped black hair hangs about her face for a moment as she looks down at herself, casually smoothing away a droplet of sweat from the crevice below her breasts that runs between her smooth abominals to a shallow hollow of a navel.  ""Are you opposed, Lina?""  She looks from the lovely young woman over to where Machado lays, smiling very faintly as she studies the contours of him-- the smooth muscles and fine trails of soft hair.  ""Or you, Machado?  Our enemies won't rest, nor will they forget, until we are no longer.""<br/><br/>She loosens the last of her garments, the low-waisted leggings that pad her armor, then slides them down her pale thighs to her feet.  Stepping out, her feet cross with an incredibly feminine grace as she leans forward onto the bed where Machado's reclined.  Her egg-shaped hips cock coyly to the side, pale and taut like the rest of her, and the position makes the shadows of the oil lamp fall across her front, presenting the affectation of modesty despite her shameless nudity."

When he first touched her entrance with the tip of his shaft she cried out as the intense ripple of pleasure, combined with lust, appeared on her mind.<br/><br/>She knew very well all the advices of pain and such, but at this very moment she really didn’t care if he would rip her apart or no, she wanted him inside of her so bad she would have signed her soul over to the Devil himself for it. Lina wanted him so fiercely she never thought it possible. But he teased about, entering her once, then withdrawing and gliding over her labia and clit, still oversensitive from his previous ministrations. Biting her lower lip stopped holding her cries of pleasure, but when he bent down to whisper in her ear in a low, husky and sensual voice: ""Seems like we've got a horny one here. Ask me to put it inside you!"" she had to let go of her leg and bite her own hand not to scream aloud AND come undone at that instant. She writhed under him for a moment, but when she realized there was no getting of what she wanted without obeying him, she made herself say: ""I want... you. Inside. Please,"" which, despite all her previous and much naughtier actions, made her blush.<br/><br/>Nothing in her previous life could prepare her for the sure, strong and fulfilling, deflowering thrust; Lina moaned in surprise. She arched her back in response to him as he filled her even deeper for the second time, holding her gaze locked with his as he pounded into her and her mind was slowly getting a grip on what was happening.<br/><br/>The feeling of another life inside of her was... indescribable. She’d never believe what sense of unity this act could bring. Lina was overwhelmed, soon her body defied any obedience and as much as she tried to hold back, she felt herself falling from the peak in frantic spasms of another climax. It didn’t escape her, though, how his manhood inside of her engorged a little more then twitched and then how he gritted his hips with her and filled her with his hot seed before he collapsed atop her and Freyja and Lina embraced him, holding him ever closer in a selfish need of prolonging the closeness they shared.<br/><br/>Lina noticed Machado kiss Freyja and she eased her grip on him, then suddenly he jumped from the bed against the wall, baring a door, then a man behind them. As shocked and dazed and slowed as she was, she managed to jump out of the bed too and grab her own pants, quickly drawing the belt out of them, so that they could disable the man’s hands by bond.<br/><br/>She handed Atal the belt and only when the man was lying harmless on the floor she noticed her own nakedness, as well as the nudity of the rest of them, and a significant dull pain in her lower abdomen as a reminder of her former virginity."

Freyja couldn't deny that it called to her, drew her like a pheromone to the willowy girl whose fair skin still flushed with the exertion, whose healthy young sex surely still throbbed from that penetration-- a sensation that Freyja could scarcely remember, for it had been wrapped in... other pains.<br/><br/>And as the broad-shouldered form of Atal-- Machado-- whatever his name, it was unimportant by comparison, for she knew him, even if not his past.  She knew him more in the moment that she had first watched him sleep, or in the first time he'd taken comfort in what she could offer with her body, for some things cannot be lied.  She would keep him close, for he wouldn't betray her... not yet.  And as she watched his ropes of muscle as he constricted the feeble resistance of the spy, she could only smile faintly in appreciation of the utter lack of obfuscation about him.  If she'd never met him, never seen what he could do-- the mystical change that could overcome his form-- she liked to think that she could have sensed it about him, for it was in everything about his body and movement.  He was a wolf, even as a man.<br/><br/>Standing, Freyja makes no move for modesty as she sways her way over to the secret door.  She checks it for motion, then locks it down with a carefully wedged chair-- the angle set, she tamps it into place with a solidly planted foot that digs the feet of the chair into the softer floorboards.  ""You should get some sleep..."" she says softly, lifting a worn, threadbare blanket from her pack and, with a wide sweep of her arm, she wraps it around Lina's shoulders, allowing the frayed edges to tickle briefly at her lower belly before she encircles the girl.  Holding her a moment longer, she kisses her... though Freyja is only a little taller, she seems to engulf Lina for that moment, and her kiss is full, consuming, and reassuring, though not entirely innocent, as she hesitates for one moment, her hand crossing the girl's flank to trail down the smoothly concave belly, where she passes her fingers, tenderly, between the girl's legs-- she touches the wetness of Atal's love spendings that mingle with the faintest trace of Lina's blood. ""You're safe.""  She releases the girl and turns away, touching her fingers to her lips before closing her eyes to offer a silent prayer that one would never hear spoken aloud at the temple.<br/><br/>In a moment's time, she has thrown her shirt over her shoulders-- though it gaps wide at the neck and is not yet cinched to her body, it flutters just at the flare of her hips, barely concealing any semblance of modesty at the junction of white-stone legs.  ""Speak fast, don't lie.""  She doesn't lift a weapon.  She merely opens the door and gestures to the two performers, who have taken the hint, so to speak, and already donned their gaudy, sparse garments.<br/><br/>When they're gone, she closes and latches the door.<br/><br/>"

On this day, however, she had barely managed a full sentence. Not that she was supposed to talk much or even was asked for consent; though, when occasionally Atal or Freya asked her about anything, they were getting a smile, a nod, a one-word answer, that seemed so far away lost in the clouds they both stopped trying a while ago.<br/><br/>Maybe they just understood she did have a lot to think about.<br/><br/>In the consequence of the previous night she didn’t recognize herself.<br/><br/>A gift she had believed to be something to bestow upon someone she’d love paled and turned into dust in front of an easily ignited feral lust.<br/><br/>The memory of Atal driving all his thick length into her made her sigh. Strange was that she didn’t feel any remorse or hangover and the fact rendered her this recluse. When Freyja left the cabin, she remained completely alone with her thoughts, though she managed a smile before she was gone.<br/><br/>Soon after she heard voices and the carriage slowed before it came to a full stop. Lina sat still, yet she even stopped breathing to catch what was going on. As soon as the word Garbarlo sank in, Freyja’s voice sounded clear as glass through the air.<br/><br/>„Our lady will have to wait until we can aid these people. Please make sure she does not fear for her safety, Maquez.“<br/><br/>‘Lady? Maquez?’ she asked herself, not really sure what it was supposed to mean before Atal called Freyja ‘Adela.’ Only did it occur to her this was just another disguise and Lina suddenly didn’t know what to do. But since she was the Lady, what was she supposed to do else than arrange her shawl a little better around her arms, straighten her back, put on an aristocratic face and pretend the Lady had fallen asleep until anyone came to her with instructions?"

Raised in a small stone walled city, east of the great forest of Mirkwood, Lúthien spent her childhood learning and engrossed in the magic her parents and grandparents practiced and taught. Lúthien has rarely ever even seen a human and does not approve of them at all. Somewhat spoiled and without much self restraint she is a loner and does not have close friends outside her family. Desiring to follow in the footsteps of her father and previous generations she is working to become a renound Warmage and plans to perfect spells long believed to be dangerous and unstable."

Her clothing consists of a white linen blouse over which she wears a chainmail a chainmail shirt, a chain around her neck from which a silver holy symbol for Corellon Larethian hangs, an azure blue leather skirt, a black leather belt from which a sheathed longsword hangs on her left side, a heavy steel shield in her left hand, black leather boots, and a dark blue cloak. Under the cloak she wears a rugged backpack that is filled with her supplies.. Her sepia colored hair falls straight to her midback with the two sides braided and pulled back over the shapely point of her ears to meet behind her head where they are held with a small piece of brown leather. A small steel circlet adorns her forehead above her almond shaped chocolate colored eyes, the rest of her face beautifully angular saving for her soft lips.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Lucida Console;""><strong>Background:</strong></span><br/>Tahlia was born in Mirkwood and was raised by her mother and father. Ever since she was born she had the aura of godliness about her. Growing up she never suffered from a lack of friends, people just seemed naturally drawn to her though she did not understand why. Later in life, while traveling with her parents, they were attacked by orcs. With no prior training she instinctively grabbed her fathers longsword when he was knocked down and managed to fend off the brutes, saving her parents life. Her parents took her to the Temple of Corellon to pray their thanks. There her nature was noticed by the priests and revealed to her. From that day forward she has traveled and trained to fight for her Lord."

If no one opts for an arcane-favored class then a sorcerer would be nice, but we can probably tweak the game so it's not necessary. Also, there are possible Prestige class paths that would bring out the more arcane side of a bard.<br/><br/>Another note, on Multi-classing and Prestige classes - Iressi frowns on it when people dip in to classes just to min-max, so be aware of that. Prestige classes are<em>usually</em>only permitted when you enter into them with the intention of going through the entire class. However, there are exceptions so feel free to bring such up. We will talk more about prestige classes when entering them becomes more viable and let you know what sources you can look at for those."

Guardians of love, protectors, guides, defenders, but do not doubt their skill or dedication. The paladins of Hanali Celanil do not seek glory nor hunt evil. They may have a harder task. They guard our hearts.”</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Arainna Crystalwind<br/><br/>A great deal is known of the paladin Arainna Crystalwind. She has served Hanali Celanil for over one hundred years. Arainna had been a captain in the order, one of the best of all paladins. She has fought battles to protect lovers. She has faced hordes of creatures, possessive kings and powerful wizards. Many are those that owe their life and love to her, too many to recount here.<br/>This is a retelling of her fall and how even then she prevailed.<br/><br/>It was known simply as ‘The Lich’ but her name was Eliss`Zeld Everhate and for four years her force lay waste too outlaying villages and towns of Duchy Evermist. Killing, looting then vanishing leaving behind smoking ruin and soulless husks. Finally an additional force was sent from the capital to deal with the troubles. In a small township this force found a paladin conducting a wedding. Arainna had been following her visions. Visions that shown love itself under siege and so she had come here too aid. Well known and skilled, with a powerful holy sword and a strong mount she was a welcome addition to the Akh`Nai. She became the only paladin in the force.<br/>The Di`Aranthi was young and kin too nobility, head strong and too sure of himself he led the force deep into the forests of Evermist till finally they caught up too the Lich and her forces.<br/>Few survived too tell the tale of the battle but those that did spoke of the paladin’s courage holding back undead and whispered of the Di`Aranthi’s folly for charging blindly into what was a trap.<br/>The battle is recorded in the archives, barely three Akh`Lani made it back too a keep to report. All feared that the lich would soon overrun the eastern lands of Evermist, what none could know was just how strong a paladin of Hanali Celanil could be.<br/><br/>What follows was told by an ogre that claimed too have been in the lich’s army. A claim that was verified when it produced items from the very unit ambushed there.<br/>Arainna survived the battle wounded and captured. Her mount cut down trying to win their freedom. For several days she was tended and allowed to heal, kept naked and chained she was taunted and jeered but even the ogre was impressed at her courage and how she held still. Then she was dragged before the lich, forced to kneel she was collared as a slave as the lich’s red eyes almost lustfully watched her.  The lich then raped her draining her of a part of her very essence then tossed Arainna too her ogres and so it went on and on. In the mornings the lich would ravage her in some new and perverted way. None of which that was told to me I desire too put too parchment<br/>The lich would drain a little bit more of her then toss Arainna to her servants. There she was ravaged in all ways possible, orcs, ogres, beasts foul. Remade into something else. Half a fort-night she suffered then the lich had Arainna bound spread eagle before her, it had awaken in Arainna lusts and made Arainna’s body crave things. And so it marked Arainna, a dark ring piercing the clitoris one that it said could never be removed and would always show her what she was. Then the lich had her taken too its private chambers.<br/>But Arainna wasn’t as broken as it had thought for in its chambers she found her holy sword and when the lich came for her later it found instead that she was truly a paladin. All the ogre could tell was that there was an explosion of magic from the chamber and the undead in the army fell into dust and all the factions that had been held in awe of the lich now fought for the leftovers.<br/>Arainna was found a week later by a band of scouts, barely alive, barely able too speak, naked she asked for a priestess of Hanali Celanil and that was the last heard of her. Now almost six years.<br/>The priestess’s of Hanali would not deny she was in their care and gave us confirmation that the lich had been destroyed by Arainna when she drove her sword into its power. They have steadfastly refused any visitors to Arainna.<br/>Then just last month a report reached us of a paladin calling herself Arainna Crystalwind fighting a weak lord to allow his daughter to love her choice and barely winning.<br/>I do not know what too make of all this. That is for others to decide.<br/>"

What sort of parameters do you need?<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Also, I'll add a little flair to O'walu.<br/><br/>O'walu the hunter is an oddity to the city of Cauldron. He serves as a woods guide through the deadly jungles surrounding the city, but rarely steps foot inside of the city walls, except to trade. O'walu does several other things for a living, besides being a paid guide. He collects rare roots and ingredients in the jungle, to either sell to apothecaries in town or use them for himself. He hunts the animals of the jungle, eating their meat and using their various bodyparts for other useful purposes (selling the skins, using organs as bait, etc).<br/><br/>O'walu has a very unique (and dangerous) personality. It is unknown to the Cauldronites if the hunter was touched by madness from a young age, or lost his mind in the jungle, but the half-elf hunter is prone to be reckless, spontaneous, and has a deep, unfounded hatred of dwarves.<br/><br/>There are strange symbols tattooed to the side of his face (Think Zell Dincht from FF8), although nobody is certain what they stand for.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>What does DM think of that? It's not too outrageous I hope. I'm also using my Craft skill on particularly alchemy, just because I think it'd be sweet if he could poison his arrows with the ingredients he takes from the jungle (I've been told poison isn't worth it, but if it makes my character any more unique, I want to know if it's possible)."

Tasaril stepped up to the thugs because he had no bow with him, and because it's a bit hard to talk from 30 feet away. Tas is no tank, not even a decent melee fighter. Oocly, I hoped to provide a flanking opportunity for our rogue's sneak attack, and daze a thug or two - which may still happen.<br/><br/>I don't know about the ic reasonings (we never finalized the state of character knowledge/relations, so I went with what we talked last about), but from a purely ooc point of view there's a somewhat pressing need of support, which that Lynx could fill very well, especially in the absence of our paladin.

I have decided the two basic formats of a post where I am controlling more than one.<br/><br/>The name of the current character asking will be surrounded in squiggly lines and bolded as in the IC post I just made if the actions are not entirely conversational....<br/><br/><br/>If I end up put in the position of holding a conversation with myself, I will adopt two speech colors (or more) and each will correspond with a specific NPC. Naomi's will always be green, just for consistency's sake as she is the permanent (in theory) in-party NPC.<br/><br/>Generally I will run to maroon or red for additional females in high dialogue scenes, and blue and navy for menfolk.... >.> Which I usually won't NPC beyond what I did with the cleric. Here is an example of that context:<br/><br/><br/>Naomi wanted to purchase a wand, but couldn't decide which. ""Excuse me, Jenya, can you help me with something?""<br/><br/>The priestess offered Naomi a soft smile and approached, ""Of course, my girl. What can I do for you?""<br/><br/>""Well, I want to purchase a wand of curing. I just don't know which is best-suited to our needs."" The healer responded with a somewhat contemplative tone to her voice.<br/><br/>Jenya smiled, ""Well, what healing spells can you<em>cast</em>? That's often a good place to start."" Her tone was light and friendly as she tried to advise Naomi.<br/><br/>Just then the door burst open and a young lady ran inside, ""Jenya, Jenya, come quick! Something's happened!""<br/><br/>-End Sample-<br/><br/>Alright, there you have it. The form of the post I already did, and the form I will adopt for other major NPCs should I ever have to interact with myself. Likely I will add a little more meat on the paragraphs of the speakers for the NPCs, but I really am just trying to show you guys how it would look and see if you think that manageable enough. ^^<br/><br/><br/>Input would be lovely. =)"

The Gods in game shall arrange Fate so that Opportunity for such undertakings lands upon your doorstep... As in, we will make it actually make -sense- for your character to take a prestige class, assuming it's one Iressi allows. ^^<br/><br/>Going beyond that though, is there something you think would make this better understood communication-wise? Should we add little tags with names to the top of each post to indicate who is acting for quicker reference? Do you feel comfortable with the maps we are using?<br/><br/>Feedback is key to your enjoyment, and you have two -very- open DMs so let the feedback roll. ^^<br/><br/><br/><br/>And before I forget, if you end up making more images that fit into the in character scenes, starfox, I think they might be a cool addition to the library, that is if you don't mind me adding them under a post called 'player artwork' and labeling them as what they represent. ^^<br/><br/>Let me know."

Leave it to some wizard from ages past to suggest that a city should be built here, for better or worse this city has become the bastion of civilization in the deep south of the Flanaess. Located on the border of the Amedio Jungle, and the nigh impenetrable Hellfurance mountains, the city that you have (or soon will) call home is a melting pot. All of the civilized races live in the walls, and even seeing the occasional Half-Drow, or hobgoblin isn't that uncommon.<br/><br/>Though most of those that live in Cauldron are plain old ordinary humans. Mostly 'foreigners' from the north, most of the Olman (dark-skinned humans who live in the Amedio jungle) stay away from the city. Tonight fate has found its way into your lives, for your own reasons you walk the streets of Cauldron, a wretched drizzle falls form the ash-gray sky. The crowed, rain-slicked buildings seem especially bleak, and even frightful on this evening.<br/><br/>The buildings are packed together, their roofs almost touching in places as a steady stream of water travels from the highest roof-tops to the lowest. The din of water trundles from the rooftops, splashing down below, turning the street gutters into rivulets. A few lights burn in their windows, but mostly their shutters have been closed for the night. The scent of chimney smoke fills the air mixing from the smell of fresh bread from what must be a bakery.<br/><br/>Suddenly you hear a call for help, a man is tossed out into the street by two others, they wear black and white paint on their faces making it hard to figure out who they might be. They kick the man saying to him,<strong>""Stay away from the orphanage, you got that?""</strong>The two men are armed with daggers though they don't have them out currently, and are wearing leather armor.<br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v141/ShiniNekoNi/Shackled%20City/asault.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>OOC: If you want go ahead and roll a Knowledge: Local or Bardic Lore check (My ID is 5631) if you are trained in those skills to figure out what the story is behind the two men is. Also everyone can roll a Spot please. The party wouldn't be together per say, but you would be walking around on one (or both) sides of the streets when this happens. They wouldn't seem to notice you or care about you at first.

There was another, shrouded in shadow as he was now (Spot success, 17+1), looking out for the law, but it seemed to O'walu as if the guards went out of their way to neglect crime in this city. It was one of the chief reasons the Hunter found solace among the trees, rather than the people hiding from them.<br/><br/>He was not afraid to confront them; the Hunter knew not fear, but self-preservation was his first goal, and he would not act rashly. He stepped out from the corner, his hand not far from the hilt of his sword. Directing his question toward the painted brutes, he said, ""What trouble is being caused here?""

Tasaril Ingon – “Tas” to his friends, “You cur!” to some husbands, fathers or brothers of a few girls in Sasserine, and “travelling bard extraorinaire” to people he introduces himself to – hates rain with a passion he would have thought impossible just a few months ago. Born in Sasserine, a harbor town built partially on islands, water has been part of his life since his birth. With the sea, pathway to exotic lands and adventures – and pathway to riches through trade – so dominating the town, rain had meant fresh, clean water for the town – and often a relief from the heat during summer. He had loved the smell of rain drops hitting hot cobblestones.<br/><br/>These days, rain stands for shame, humilation, embarassment, and his curse. And it rains a lot in the south. The young man – he is just 20 years old – eyes the treacherous sky as he makes his way through the wet streets of Cauldron, hugging the walls so the overhanging roofs provide shelter for him, and pulling his hooded cloak closer to his body. Getting wet is... bad. Getting wet means changing.<br/><br/>“Everyone, everything changes” the older tutors at the academy in Sasserine used to say. They did not mean the sort of changes he is going through, that much Tasaril is sure. They spoke of people changing, life changing, through experience – and adventure. Not feeling your body changing, important parts disappearing and other, unwanted – at least on him – parts appearing, clothes not fitting right anymore... If only he had never put his hands on that stupid idol! If only Claire had never put that thing in her study, where he had hidden when her husband had unexpectedly come home!<br/><br/>Tasaril still shudders when he remembers the first change, the first time another face had stared back at him from a mirror, the first time he looked down at his body, finding his manhood missing, and finding those mounds on his chest, where they had no business being. The terror when he thought it was a permanent change, until by chance a hot bath restored his gender. The embarassment of finding some of his so-called friends making unwanted avances on him while he was changed, those curs! Even if they didn’t recognize him they should not chase every pretty girl!<br/><br/>Tasaril sidesteps a splashing little waterfall, created by a leaky roof, and wonders if he should use his magic to keep the rain away. He is no trained mage, but he has a gift for some magics – some parlor tricks, as wizards would say, but which have proved to be useful in the right situations. A bit of magic would keep him safe for an hour... He decides against it though. He is almost where he wants to go, and will spend the next few hours in a dry tavern anyway – and since he can’t work much magic, squandering it on a bit of convenience when he might need it later for something important, like impressing a pretty wench, would be foolish. Tasaril is proud of his reasoning – he is growing up, as he expected. If only his parents could see him now, they would see he is not wasting his life pursuing knowledge and music. Not completely, at least.<br/><br/>Of course, his curse has thrown him off course. Just a bit. He hadn’t planned to visit Cauldron any time this decade. But all he had been able to find out about the idol that got him cursed had been that it was found somewhere south of Sasserine, maybe near Cauldron, where Claire’s mother had bought it on a whim. And after a number of spells have failed to remove the curse – curse those priests for false promises! – finding out more about this idol by himself is his best, maybe last hope to get rid of his curse. Which has brought him to Cauldron, the famous city built inside an old volcano. If there’s anything to find about this idol it’ll be found here.<br/><br/>The young man avoids another hole in the roof and the water that drips down from it. Almost there. Then he hears a call for help. He turns around, looking for the origin of it. Such calls mean someone is in trouble, and trouble has a tendency to spread. When he sees the two thugs harass the man he frowns and grips his rapier's hilt - he left his bow in his room, in this weather the string would get wet too soon, and a rapier is a better weapon for a night of carousing, even if his skill with it was a bit lacking.<br/><br/>It’s none of his business – it’s not a damsel in distress – but what’s this about an orphanage? Tasaril’s curiosity, which got him into more trouble than he cares to remember, is piqued.<br/><br/><em>(Bardic Lore: 19, Spot 12)</em><br/>"

As they walked out from the allay those sounds would be interrupted by  a call for help.<br/><br/>Theoron and Acheron stopped immediately, the feline turned around and hissed ferosciously. As Theoron turned as well he saw what was happening. A man versus two thugs? Seems like a fight against the odds. He walked closely from behind, but not in attacking them. ""Seems like we don't have some balance in this scene, don't you think Acheron?"" he whispered softly to his friend.<br/><br/>That was when another voice was heard. A familiar voice to him, as it was the voice of a frequent visitor in the forest.

She had, after all, grown up in the city and seen its annual cycles time after time. Because of the rain she was not only in the robes of her faith. She'd learned a lesson about that as a child, white under rainwater is not a good idea. Today she wore a serviceable brown cloak about her to keep her robes both cleaner and less see through.<br/><br/>Her feet were booted rather than sandalled as she walked through the somewhat muddy streets; that had been another lesson for the absent-minded girl. She was making her way to the Lantern Street Orphanage with a covered basket of  fresh bread hanging over her arm when she caught sight of O'walu, not too far from where she intended to be.<em>'I should say hello! Maybe he'll want to come see the children with me.'</em>The first was an enthusiastic thought, the second more a dreamy occurrence as she moved forward.<br/><br/>She could hear him say something, but the noise of the rain and the distance made it hard to hear what. She wasn't terribly concerned, though from this angle she couldn't see what was going on in the alley. As she closed the distance between them she was thinking about a dream she'd had the night before, though those thoughts would soon be chased away by more pertinent things.<br/><br/>Her approach left her directly behind him when she saw further into the alley, a man on the ground. The large holy symbol hanging around his neck caught her attention first and foremost and the young girl said, ""He's a priest of Saint Cuthbert.."" sounding very dreamy for a moment. Reality seemed to snap back into place for her as her eyes settled on the hand O'walu had hovering near his sword.<em>'Uh-oh...'</em>She thought, taking note of the two thugs present and realizing this could get ugly quickly.<br/><br/>Her long, wavy, blonde hair was damp and so clung heavily to the cloak wrapped about her. She wore no armor over her cleric's vestments today and as she stood there behind the ruckus the young woman pulled her brown cloak tighter about her form. Her pretty blue eyes filled with what might have been indignation over what she saw as she whispered to O'walu, ""I'll heal you, friend."" In her mind there was no choice, the cleric had to be saved. It never occurred to her that her strange friend might be thinking differently as he stood there confronting them."

The young bard notices O'walu, a local guide and hunter he knew, walking up to to the two thugs from the other side, and looking quite mad. Tasaril is still debating whether or not to step up himself - O'walu should be able to handle two thugs, wait, there were three... - when he notices a young, pretty woman behind O'walu.<br/><br/>Whistling and putting up his best roguish smile he takes a step forward, then falters slightly when he feels the rain on his cloak upon leaving the cover from the overhanging roof - he forgot about that.

He was so very nice to her. That thought led her to the arrow in her hand and she looked down at it.<em>'Weapons, of violence... Weapons which should only be used in defense of a creature or cause.'</em>She had such a weapon at the Shrine in her small bedchamber. It was a plain enough mace bearing an engraving of the sun upon it.<em>'Surely all things we can use to hurt can be used for good purpose. And all the things we learn to heal a person can be used for ill...'</em><br/><br/>The broken arrow shaft twisted in her hand. The feathered part still lay in the street somewhere as she stared, transfixed, at the head of the arrow turning in the air. Suddenly O'walu's arm moved, she blinked as his hand took a hard hold of hers. A small shuffle of her feet and her eyes casting about the street were her main reaction. They settled on the dwarf<em>'Oh...'</em>He had said something about dwarves, and no matter how they'd talked about the virtues innately present in any living soul, he had insisted he despised them.<em>'I'd forgotten about that...'</em><br/><br/>She didn't move except to gently squeeze the hand so strongly holding hers.<em>'Still need to try and talk to him about it again sometime.. Maybe-'</em>for a brief moment her face lit up as she started to say something; luckily she thought better,<em>'No.. not now.'</em>She relaxed and waited for them to leave, forgetting completely about healing one or the other of the two still-injured thieves.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>~Narrator~</strong><br/><br/>The guards retreated with the thugs in tow, the thieves' pockets now lighter than they had been previously.

Those who turn their heads spot a slight figure on a rooftop nearby, presumably previously hidden in the darkness there. The rain seems not to effect the cloaked person, whom upon close inspection has black and white face paint. The rest of their facial features, indeed identifying features, lay hidden in the hood of a wet, black cloak.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>~Unknown - The Rooftop~</strong><br/><br/>""Well done, young heroes!"" An entertained, if mocking voice, calls down to the gathering, ""Still, the Cleric lives because<em>we</em>wish it so, not because of your misplaced Bravado."" The stranger's sex is revealed by her voice as she speaks. Her hood flies off with a dramatic gesture and the face-paint is in the same harlequin's visage as those of the thugs the party has just dispatched. The hand which threw the hood back and exposed her brown hair to the rain now is used to level a finger on the cleric, ""Carry those words to your temple,<em>Priest</em>. The children are lost and no longer Saint Cuthbert's concern.""<br/><br/>She seemed to take notice of Naomi then, the little waif of a girl standing beside O'walu with eyes peering at the new-come woman through the rain. ""Pelor has no stake in this either, and you fools won't meddle where you're not wanted if you know what's good for you."" It came as a challenge of sorts before she turned and darted across the rooftop, her lithe form bounding over the slick surface of the rain-dampened shingles as though they were as straight, dry and flat as any playing field.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>~Narrator~</strong><br/><br/>The Cleric edged behind the adventures upon the appearance of the new woman, his recent run-in with her painted friends making him feel rather cautious. Naomi edges behind O'walu when the woman directs her attention upon the healer, almost hiding completely with the arrow still grasped in her hand. There is no easy way to attain access to the rooftop she had occupied, and the rain makes the task more daunting.

A thieves guild with a lot of influence with the guard was a formidable foe indeed, not one one should make lightly.<br/><br/>Not that he had, he had good motives for his actions, even though - the bard took notice of the way the hunter was slipping an arm around the pretty cleric - they had turned out to be more altruistic than originally intended.<br/><br/>The laughter and mocking words from the rooftop made him whirl around. People didn't take that tone without feeling secure in their power or position. The sight of the woman made his eyes go wide in surprise, then in appreciation of her slender form, and her grace when she ran over the slick rooftop, as surefooted as if she was on the street. That was an appearance - and exit - worthy of an actress, or so he thought as a bard aware of such niceties.<br/><br/>Staring after her, Tasaril wondered if her face, once freed from that horribly tacky facepaint, was a match for the beauty of her movements. Should he give chase? He did no see an easy way up to the roof, maybe he could keep pace on the ground... it did not seem likely, and might lead into an ambush...<br/><br/>Tasaril was still wondering when he felt his body change - caught up in the moment he had forgotten the rain was still falling, and looking up to the roof his hood had not offered him any protection.<br/><br/>The curse he spat - at the rain as much as at his foolish self - sounded as feminine as he currently looked.

Seeing the other temples on the way he was sure the gods had it out for her too, with the weather being so rainy. Despite this she took note of the large cathedral of Wee Jas. She was the goddess of magic (and death)... and had the largest temple in the region too... there was bound to be some information stored within those impressive walls, if the young bard could just get to it. Not in her current state of dress, though. Tasaril also explained to Sera that her curse wasn’t contagious.<br/><br/>The temple they reached, St. Cuthbert’s was less impressive than Wee Jas’, but at that moment Tasaril wasn’t caring about many other things than getting out of the rain, and getting some hot water to change back. Dry ground at last!<br/><br/>The voice stating that chaos and evil had no power there startled her – and reminded her that St. Cuthbert’s dogma was a bit too rigid for her liking. Not a real problem, unless the issue was forced, like when it came to adultery. When she caught the glance from the older cleric she snorted though, and ran her hand through her hair, flicking a few drops of water on the temple floor, idly wondering whether or not the god would notice the chaotic pattern they left before drying up.<br/><br/>The cleric left before she could ask for hot water – she should have been less concerned with his god’s philosophy – but the food was fine, and the wine a delight.<br/><br/><em>Quite beautiful – for her age. I wonder if she has a daughter. </em>Tasaril raised her hand at the mentioning of a new shirt. “That’s me. Could I have some hot water too, mylady?” The bard was as respectful and polite as she could – her slight dislike for the more rigid dogma the woman followed overriden by her geenral attitude towards the fairer sex.<br/><br/>After changing in the side room – in more ways than one - Tasaril returned to the main room, and sat down again, listening to the explanations. The mentioned payment did not leave him untouched – he was the son of merchants, after all – but more than that his curiosity and the promise of an adventure worthy of a song drew him in. Not to mention that saving orphans from evil kidnappers was exactly the sort of selfless heroic deed that drew the attention of impressionable young women to a hero...<br/><br/>“Of course we will do our utmost to save the children, mylady!” Tasaril was already composing part of the ballad that would immortalize their deeds in the back of his head.<br/>"

Mind you, they would throw you out if you were caught stealing from it, or worse.."" She said, then turned back to Jenya and gently urged O'walu's head off her shoulder as she stood. ""I intend to do anything I can to help find the missing, Lady Jenya."" She offered as reassurance, then turned toward O'walu and her new-found companions, ""I'm afraid I'm not much for taverns and my spells are spent for the day. I will return to the Church of Pelor and pray. The doors will be kept open until your arrival, I'll be sure of that. You might want to eat while you are out though.""<br/><br/>She gave them a gentle smile. The food of the members of the church was not overly extravagant, but she was used to it. Many who supped with the clergy found it very dull. ""I'll see you then? And.. Those who don't come tonight, will you meet us there in the morning?"""

The healer's room was sparsely furnished. A little bed rested against one wall with a small table beside it, a holy symbol hung above the bed on the wall, and a small chest contained her personal belongings. She had a bowl of water and a cloth beside her bed. Fishing through the chest she dug out some soap and then slipped out of the night shirt she'd worn to sleep.<br/><br/>The cold water gave her goosebumps as she cleaned herself with that cloth. She hummed a little while she did so and eventually put the soap back in the wooden container she kept it in, hung the cloth over the side of the bed, and dried herself with a small towel before slipping into her robes again. The white robes hid her form fairly well. She combed her hair briefly and suddenly remembered that she had dreamt the night before. The comb was soon abandoned in the chest again and Naomi slipped on her sandals and headed out to the main chamber of the church.<br/><br/>The priests were still busy from the recent attack on her church. She found the room mostly empty and took a seat in a pew to pray before the altar of Pelor. This was where O'walu found her. When Naomi realized he was thirsty she chuckled and went to get him a mug of water. She returned the main chamber with him, knowing this was where the others would come when they came to the church. As she sat there she smiled and curled some of her hair about her finger.<br/><br/>As the hours passed and a more normal time approached Naomi breached the topic of sleep with O'walu. ""I hope you slept well,"" the healer said, and then a little softer, ""I don't suppose you had any dreams in your sleep?"" She'd not told O'walu she read dreams, but was curious if maybe he'd been sent a vision from the gods, maybe something to help them or to warn them.<br/><br/><br/>Naomi didn't seem to hear to Tasaril enter the church. An fairly young acolyte was cleaning the large chamber he'd entered into and smiled brightly at him. ""Can I help you, Sir?"" the boy asked."

At first, it could have been attributed to 'putting down' dangerous, rampaging fey, but when a troll was found inside the Excalibur, literally nailed to the wall, unconscious from the pain, it became clear that this was no random act. Since then, almost a week ago, other fae or half-fey have been found, their bodies located in or around casinos known to be owned by supernatural beings, among those who know. The victims have been members of both Winter and Summer, so it does not, for now, appear to be a rivalry against one court.<br/><br/>All of this was kept mostly invisible to the non-magical community; law enforcement, for the most part, did not find bodies (frequently because there was no body left), and has been left baffled. However, no one could deny it when, last night, a body was found, impaled by a long, steel rod, to the floodlight atop the Luxor; the body of the casino's owner, and a powerful mage and faerie ally.<br/><br/>To each character:<br/><br/>Leticia Beckett, thanks to her father's lack of ability to maneuver the streets freely, as such a powerful individual, has been asked by her father to investigate; if someone were so bold as to commit murder against magical creatures on his grounds, they deserve to be punished.<br/><br/>Hitomi was contacted by an old acquaintance in the Winter Court, who lost a close friend in one of the murders, and has asked her to investigate what's happening.<br/><br/>Detective Kettering was directed by the police force to handle this case; he's always seemed to have luck with the cases that border on the strange, and this is just another one of those.<br/><br/>Carmen has been asked by another, prominent, White Court vampire to investigate this affront to the magical community, openly, at least. In secret, they're quite frightened that they might be next, and need an outside party they can trust to help them.<br/><br/>Blake received top-secret orders to track down whoever might be causing this disruption among the forces of nature.<br/><br/>Beatrice, as per her Warden duty, is quite aware of the danger now presented to the magical community; someone has murdered a member of the White Council, and this demands justice.<br/><br/>And so, I ask you... where do you begin?"

Like most natives of Vegas, he had considerable disdain for the strip in general. Sure, there were some damn fine restaurants, but a man can only take so much tackiness. The detective preferred his entertainment to be more intimate, personal, seedier. There was a mass market feel to the strip that just set his senses on edge.<br/><br/>Although, this was a nice change of pace. The smell of barbecue was thick in the air, despite the fierce wind that ripped at his raincoat and threatened to steal his cigarello from between his lips. The stocky detective was staring down at the victim's half cooked body and wondered if it were weird that he was suddenly so hungry. The beast within his breast didn't think so and was nudging him to take a little piece, just to see if he'd like it.<br/><br/>""Fuckin' gruesome way to die if you ask me,"" he muttered to nobody in particular. ""You!"" He stabbed his finger at a the Casino's head of security. ""Get me a copy of his real itinerary, not the fake one you keep for the muggles or whatever the hell term you use for mundanes."" He chewed furiously on the end of his cigarello. He didn't smoke them, couldn't stand the smell. He just chewed on them until they disappeared.

The main room of the casino is very randomly oriented; thirteen stone columns, designed with various mythological jungle animals, with thirteen islands of glittering, old-fashioned, non-electronic slot machines, around thirteen game tables. Right now, the crowd is thin; a few older folk, smoking heavily around the slot machines, while only two of the tables are active. No one so much as glances up, as she enters, passing under the small sign near the door that reads ""Accorded Neutral Ground.""<br/><br/>Detective Kettering<br/><br/>It was a mob scene getting to the roof, where, with the glass panes opened to allow people onto the roof towards the corpse, the wind howled fiercely, this high up. ""We're working on it, sir. The police will have a full report as soon as possible, and your specialists are already at the security videos, though the private suites have fewer cameras than the rest of the casino.""<br/><br/>The victim, dressed in a carefully pressed suit, looks like he'd been running, before he died. His face is twisted up in a grimace of horror, as if frozen in a scream at the moment of his death. The metal rod impaling him goes right through his stomach, out the back, and into the glass; a single, solid metal rod, unadorned, at least, from what he can see, sharpened to a point and thrust through the glass, which, being thick, didn't crack much. His back is badly burned, from being exposed to the immensely powerful floodlights for a while, before being discovered.<br/><br/>Since he was found shortly after the lights were engaged, and there'd been an inspection an hour earlier, that narrows down the time of death significantly. A quick check reveals that he was alone in his private suite, at the time, close to the top floor.<br/><br/>Blake<br/><br/>Getting to the crime scene is nigh impossible; as it's atop the casino, going from the outside would require flight or invisibility.

I just work in the kitchens,"" the employee answers, between puffs on his cigarette.

You worked at the local hospital as the head nurse. the Hospital itself was owned by The Eldritch Society but not many people realized that. As you sit at your desk in your office filling out paperwork the lights in the hall start to dim just like they always do this time of night. Still the paperwork sits there in one big stack. You feel sleepy and your eyes start to close. You know you can't sleep yet till this gets done then maybe in a few hours you can catch a few winks in one of the overnight rooms for staff. Tipping your coffe cup up you find that its empty. The Lounge is right down at the end of the hall and theres always a fresh pot on at this time.

He'd been just as hurt, but in different, opposite, ways.  She wished there was some way to help him, but unless he let her get close enough--which would never happen--there was no way she could.

Having death all his life surrounding him, Fyroneus shown from early years some shorts of dementia, claiming that he could talk to the dead that were about to cross the river to Hades. His mother loved him very much and taught him a lot about the earth and the crops as well giving him a baby lynx to raise and play with, but his father was interested in him, only to make him another priest of Hades, teaching occultism. One day,when he was 16 years old and festivities took place at the temple, it was to pretend Persephone's kidnap by Hades, the high-priest was going to pretend to be Hades, while Persephone would be chosen among the women of the temple. Fyroneus' mother was chosen to be Persephone, under the acceptance of his father. That made Fyroneus furious who, protested for what was about to happen, when he knew that his mother would be sent to Hades after the ritual. Unable to save his mother, he revolted against the Necromanteion, leaving the temple for ever. Self-exiled to the caves near Acheron, fully insane from the voises he claimed to hear, sometimes his mother, father and the high-priest as well, he became an animal, a predator that protects the caves from other people, who would want to go down the river and claim the treasures of the dead. Having Necromatos (Eyes of Death), his lynx as only companion, he hunts, protects, surveys, patrols the forests near Acheron.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GwO45nxb-9k/SYa3vFai4qI/AAAAAAAABfo/1RgkmYBcw5k/s320/WEK_UNDERWORLD012209_53527c.jpg)<br/>"

dark flakes of sapphire that burn with an unsettling cobalt flame.<br/>At first glance, it would easy to dismiss her as just another peasant wench who has spent her days seated demurely before the loom, knowing nothing but the gentle arts.  A solid form, neither thick nor thin, with good curves – though little strength to speak of.  A good look at her hands, however, would stifle most talk of softness.  They are long and delicate; a likely mark better birth if not covered in a mosaic of scars so complex that is almost beautiful.  While the terminal ends of the third and fourth, on the left, and most of the right fifth have been removed completely, they rest as steady as iron.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Alyssandra was born the only daughter to a wealthy family in the city of Pyrrha, near Illium.  She had three brothers, all of whom were educated by a venerable old tutor who live with the family.  While Alyssandra was not officially allowed to be taught, she found ways of gaining any knowledge she sought from the old scholar.  At the age of ten, she was betrothed to a merchant’s son from nearby Assus.  While in transit to her wedding, she managed to jump ships, fleeing her obligations and promptly being disowned by her father.  Armed with a letter from her family tutor, she was able to get employment in the household of philosopher in Smyrna – not as a pupil but as a maid.  Yet, she was close enough to the master to learn much of what he had to teach.  However, the arrangement was short-lived once her natural curiosity got the better of her; when the master discovered her in his study one night, looking over his books, she was promptly whipped and discharged.<br/>For about ten years she floated from scholar to scholar, and island to island doing housework as a pretense for secretly learning their trade.  Until, at the age of 19, she found a man eccentric enough to apprentice her.  He was called Krystaphanes the Aristocrat, and he was once a very important person in the world of scholarly pursuit; the Grandmaster of the Alchemists’ Guild, to be exact, for about ten years.  He had been removed from the post, and exiled from Athens, for an inflammatory essay he wrote on the nature of Quintessense – though the Guild still harbored great respect for him.  Duly so, for Krystaphanes was a great man who taught Alyssandra much about Alchemy and the world – even allowing one of her experiments to be published under his name.  Unfortunately, her apprenticeship was short; only five years had passed when her master accidentally blew himself up experimenting with sulfur.  Yet, his posthumous recommendation was enough to get Alyssandra employed as an alchemist, in the household of a noblewoman from Rhodos.<br/>In four years of dedicated work for her patron, she has made some astounding advances (published under then name of a man also in the Lady’s employ) as well as gaining the animosity of nearly every alchemist between there and Crete.<br/>"

Leuca excelled in the art, quickly learning how to create poultices to mend broken bones and teas to cure fevers. Both mother and daughter were highly respected in their community.<br/>When her troubles began, Leuca was sixteen. She had just begun to court a young warrior when their village was raided by a group of men from Apollonia. The men razed the village during the afternoon, killing all the warriors first, including Leuca's beloved. Once the mightiest of the opposition were struck down, the men began slaughtering everyone except a number of women Leuca's age, and some of the younger boys. The sight of the bodies of her mother and her beloved are forever burned into her memory. One of the men caught her in the shoulder with his sword while trying to kill another of the community, leaving a nasty scar, but she managed to survive. The men decided she was worth the trouble since she bandaged herself and took her with them.<br/>The men took the newly acquired slaves back to Apollonia where they were seperated and sold. Leuca's name was changed to Laena and she was sold to a older Greek man who was on his way to Athens. The journey took almost three weeks, during which Laena learned how to speak Greek and what would be expected of her as a slave.<br/>She lived with this man and his family in Athens for a few years until the man gave her to his eldest son. This son, named Ion for Apollo's son, was on a mission to Delos, the birthplace of Apollo. He took four slaves and a number of armed men with him, Laena being one of the slaves. This journey was a difficult one since Laena had never been on a boat before, but also because Ion was struck ill. They made it to Delos, but there was no saving Ion.<br/>On Delos, the armed men they had been with split up to find new employers. One of them, Kadmos, took Laena with him. He had heard that trade was good on Rhodos and wanted to get top price for his new slave.<br/>When they arrived at Limdos, Laena was put directly into an auction. An extremely wealthy man named Partolamue was looking for a new slave for his recently widowed niece, Gaiana. Laena was one of the top priced slaves due to her hardiness, strength, and experience. She had never revealed her skills as an herbalist and tried to conceal her intelligence to seem less of a threat. However, she had never had a female owner before and did not know what to make of this new situation. Partolamue bought her and gave her immediately to Gaiana.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/>Laena has a slightly lighter complexion than most Greeks. She has light brown hair and blue eyes, looking clearly foreign on Rhodos. She is hearty, strong, and slightly dirty due to her status, but one could get the impression that she would be very pretty were she cleaned and dressed up a little. She wears simple clothes provided for her by Gaiana's family and her sandals are worn but clearly have been given great care. She is thin and her strength is more wiry than bulging. She is quite flexible. The only mar on her lighter skin is the scar from the sword on her shoulder, but she usually arranges her tunic so that it is covering the bulk of the scar."

First, you send the roll to a GM, but that one is actually easy. Then, fill under number of dice 3, number of sides 6 . That's the famous 3d6, also known as ""throw three normal, six-sided dice"".<br/><br/>Sometimes, you will get a Penalty to your skill, something you get a bonus, something both, or neither. If it's neither, you just use your skill as the final number. Either way, sum the bonuses and penalties up until you get a single number (so +1 -2=-1 ). You add that to your skill (substract 1 for a -1, frex a skill of 16 with a penalty of 1 gives you a final skill of 15). That's your effective skill level that you mention in the comment to the roll.<br/><br/>You can skip that part, but if you think it's more cool that way, put that number in Total TN as a<strong>negative</strong>number. In the above case, you write -15 in Total TN.<br/>There you are, send (me) the roll! It will even tell you whether this is a success :D!"

At the same time, Danaracles attacked, with Euriastes using Dodge and Retreat successfully. End of turn 1.<br/><br/>Turn 2, Euaristos is faster, so he stepped forward, attacked with a Feint. Through sheer luck, Danaracles failed to notice it, although he is realistically better in feinting. Ouch, his defence was reduced by 3, if we count the Evaluate. He replied... with his own feint, making a much better margin of success though. Euaristos would have defended with a penalty of -5 against next attack.<br/><br/>Turn 3, Euaristos attacked, Danaracles failed to defend. It was a ""first successful hit wins"", so his objectively greater skill was less useful than his opponent's speed and battle-tested tactics.<br/>Danaracles also received a 2 points of Crushing damage to the body. They are using ""rudis"", a short wooden sword, which can still hurt you. Actually, ""Rudis"" is the Latin name, but I don't know the ancient Greek one - maybe Fragile Dreams would be able to help me here. It hurts just the same, though, although it's not enough to cause Combat Paralysis given it's a friendly sparring match - I have the advantage of being able to make this kind of GM's aclls without consulting anyone ;D."

Second i admire the organised posting and details that each players use in their posts, that shows maturity and likeness for the game. And the characters that every one created, are unique like every player seperately in here. As a former GM i would love to have such players in my sessions. Again, congratulations to everybody....

Nothing above the chest was discernible due to the cloak and hood, but further down things became more obvious. Tight grey leather breeches covered slender and feminine legs, a thick belt upon which rested a similarly black leather scabbard, in which rested a longsword.<br/><br/>On reaching the edge of the town, a mere moment after the figure had emerged from the wood, the figure stopped and leaned over towards a man already hard at work repairing the base of a wall of what appeared to be a small clay cottage. The man looked up in surprise, then registered shock when he saw the figure's face. He stuttered, a moment, then just pointed out the guard post there near the edge of the town.<br/><br/>Heading to the guard tower, the cloaked figure sighed aloud. She didn't have to do this, but felt the need to assure the locals that she was not an enemy.<br/><hr/>Inside the guard tower, the cloaked figure glanced about her, spying an armored man sitting behind a wood table, a hand axe resting on the table to a side, various scrolls and parchments arrayed over the tabletop as if it were a desk.<br/><br/>She noted a man coming down stairs to the side, and glanced over to see whom it was.<br/><br/>The knight's crest upon his tunic told her that he was whom she was here to speak with.<br/><br/>Turning to him, she drew back her cloak and hood, exposing her longblade to open view, and revealing that she was a woman. And with her silver hair pulled back in a long ponytail that just barely missed brushing the floor beneath her, long pointed elven ears were left exposed.<br/><br/>Smiling faintly, she spoke in a soft, heavily-accented voice in the local common language, ""Good Sir, may I have a word with ye? Preferably in private?""</td></tr></tbody></table>"

It meant that as I broke camp before dawn and came out of the trees and down the upland slopes towards the fields the sun was rising in my face and warming my skin and lighting up the dew steamed grasses that dampened my bare feet.<br/><br/>I love the rising sun, promising a new day, another chance to move among people and serve them and help others, I might even meet a complete stranger today, that was always enjoyable.<br/><br/>I strode down the lane between high banked hedges and waved to Gremble as he tilled his south field. The lane ended at the highway - we call it the highway as it is the only paved road hereabouts though really it is not that grand, but it is the only road you can walk along in wet weather and not end up ankle-deep in mud.<br/><br/>It had been another successful adventure, three days and nights over the full moon gathering berries, thyme, Roachwood and Belmarsh cups, Poki mushrooms and Stemgrass. My knapsack bulged with good things and my step was light and eager.<br/><br/>I came to the clustered houses and lifted a hand in greeting to the two soldiers who leaned on their spears and watched the early travellers that dawn had roused and encouraged to arrive early into Meadowvale. I knew both men, Tonny and Hergrud, both good lads who answered to Captain von Rathman. We all called him The Captain, though I do not know if that was his rank, but he was the senior officer and he had the bearing of one who had commanded many. Privately I wondered why such a soldier had been posted here to watch over such a tiny place. I didn't begrudge that at all of course, he knew his trade though it did make me fret at times that such a soldier might become bored in such a position.<br/><br/>I reached my small neat house under it's low curved crown of thatch and said hello to Margerite who was collecting eggs from her hen-coop. She greeted me in return and offered me two for my breakfast. I smiled and thanked her and gave her a sprig of Stemgrass for her Robert's rheumatism.<br/><br/>I dropped my bedding roll, cooking pots and my few other items in the scullery and drew a bucket from the well in my front garden, splashing water on my face and wrists, wiped down and made my way to the inn.<br/><br/>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/Ryuuna07-1.jpg)<br/><br/>Margerite's eggs would be nice on the morrow, scrambled on a huge flat-capped Brokken mushroom as big and round as a cloth cap. Today I hankered after porridge and there was one place you go to get the best porridge for miles around. Todd's Market Tavern. After the chapel, the squires house and the guardhouse, Todd's was the most imposing building in the village and it stood, four-square, slate roofed and wooden framed at one side of Market Broad, the wide patch of packed dirt where the tradesmen pitch their stalls and which is the heart of our little community.<br/><br/>I wiped my feet on the rush mats outside, sprinkling the soles with elderwater from a small stone bottle I carried in my knapsack; a ritualised cleansing practice I never omitted. I mounted the three wide stone steps to the porch. Entering the gloomy and sweet-smelling main room I greeted Todd who was making up a fire of apple logs and took my usual seat at a small table in one of the inglenooks. Here it was private enough to converse with a patient who did not wish to be overheard, yet open enough that I could comfortably observe the room and doorway.<br/><br/>I did not set out my things, trading and practitioning would come later, after the important business: breakfast!<br/><br/><strong>""A bowl of your finest breakfast recipe, please Todd, and a cup of green tea if you would. I can pay today as well. Here. For Susan.""</strong>I held out a little muslin bag of fresh herbs and dried rolled Poki, enough for his pregnant wife to keep in full health for a month.<br/><br/>My meal arrived and I ate, sipping at the delicious tea and watching the comings and goings of the early morning travellers. I noted a rugged looking fellow standing at the bar in britches, tunic and vest, a sword and knife at his belt and his boots unusually clean. He had not walked far this morning, perhaps only as far as a tent pitched by the highway just outside the village or a bunk at the Horsetail Inn. I did not recognise him, though it was not uncommon for many to travel through on the highway."

Its a tiny village then. And by all means call it hamlet, settlement, village, community, cluster of houses - but calling it a town or a city gets confusing.<br/><br/>And I for one would have no problem if you just called it by name. Once we know its a village, there's no great need to refer to it again.<br/><br/>For a parish of 200 souls I would assume the lords soldiers that are billeted here are a quite small unit - a dozen or so maybe?<br/><br/>And thanks for the various notes about magic use.<br/><br/>To double quote, I hit 'quote' on one post and copy/paste the resulting window's contents into notepad, then hit the back button and hit quote on the second post, answer that, then paste in from notepad and answer that one in turn ;)"

Sorcery is feared because, in the Age of Wonders, powerful sorcerers ruled the kingdoms of the world, and, in the course of warring, all-but-obliterated civilization...and much of the known world. The Magic Wars drained almost all of the sorcery from the aether.<br/><br/>However, little bits remain, here and there, mainly in distant, hard to reach places. For the world is a vast place, and even in the Age of Wonders, there were many seldom-traveled corners, filled with peoples and races that kept to themselves during the Age of Wonders, and went about life much as they had always known it when the Age blew itself apart. There were summer frosts, and warm winters, and droughts...but after several such trying years, the sundered climate of the shattered world righted itself. The powers and principalities of Man and Demi-Men come and go, but Earth abides...<br/><br/>Five centuries later, the world is still rebuilding. Little is known of the Age of Wonders, with myths and legends about machines that flew through the sky, and shining buildings. Ruins exist, but are still dangerous to traverse, and much of what is left is gone.  <br/><br/>But still, some parts remain...and the evil that spawned the War of Magic and held the arch-sorcerers as puppets on strings has not died...<br/><br/>Something like that.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>And the reply:<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=43195.msg2094545#msg2094545"">Quote from: GreenHavok on 01-08-2009, 11:18:44</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">That is a really good idea.

His green eyes are bright and warm in their gaze, set in bronze skinned features of a chiseled, leonine handsomeness and framed with a mane of thick black hair. When he moves, it is with a fusion of the courtier's grace and a soldier's precision. When he speaks, his voice is richly toned, and at times can feel resonant, as if the call of trumpets. It is as if the radiance of his soul gleams outward from him, in shining gaze, weapons, armour and speech.<br/><br/>Character Background:<br/><br/>Few people are as keenly aware of the responsibility and promise of the reborn legacy of Osirion as Amon-Tir, for it was his own family's history and pride alike returned to life along with the wider destiny of his nation entire. His had been a line of nobles draped in storied and great deeds. Of generals and high priests, heroes and legends. But as his nation fell to stagnation, so too did they, and when his nation fell to subjugation, they descended into ruin and poverty. There was nothing left to them but a fierce remembrance, of stories passed from father to son, of membership in ancient but now fringe cults just to keep bitter memories alive. Centuries of shame passed in such a manner. When the cry of restoration rang out through the land, none heard it so truly as the line of Tir, frayed, tattered stories woven back together to again inspire towards glory. Their voices shouted among the loudest for the Pharaoh's legitimacy, and with a convincing passion. In a coup that was not completely bloodless, where such fighting occurred, they were those throwing themselves to the front of conflicts.<br/><br/>Such devotion was richly rewarded, the family Tir ennobled once again, gathered up by Kehmet I to be among the symbols of promise that was both new and ancient. Amon never tired of hearing this story of his family told in increasingly vivid detail by a venerable grandfather who had been there for Khemet's rise. Of a faith in a nation and a people that had held true across millennia, and been rewarded at last. His grandfather would ever remind him that such reward should now come with a conviction to never again fall as they had before, to never again be conquered, to never lose their glory and pride, their preeminent place in the world. He delighted in these stories and morals as a child, taking them to heart and using them as a guiding star to live by.<br/><br/>It was Amon himself that seemed to be the embodiment of that reward and conviction both, as if he sprang directly from the ancient heroes of his line, shown in strong limbs, a keen and seeking mind, and with a sheer force of personality that radiated from within yet seemed to channel the primal beyond. Such quality could have made a man arrogant and filled personal ambition. For Amon, they were only greater reasons to serve his land, and developed in him a burning compulsion to do so. For it was Osirion itself that had allowed such lines as his to originally flourish, that had fostered such qualities for him to inherit. It was the pride of her people that brought about a national redemption that raised his family back up, for him to have an upbringing that nourished his strengths. His family, his Pharaoh, his nation deserved nothing less than his best, for him to strive to be his nation in microcosm, a restored and rising glory, a fusion of ancient wisdom, and energetic dynamism that could be a force for order and virtue in a world that seemed in so many places to lack for it. He believed, and his soul was radiant for it. He made use of his family's wealth to garner training in whatever he could drink in, from swordsmanship to history, seeking to refine a sanctified dedication to virtue that felt literally empowering from mystics and holy men.<br/><br/>His idealistic patriotism drove him to seek service in the armed forces of his nation, prevailing on his grandfather to pull strings to paradoxically insure that his social status did not get him any privileged ranking. It found him stationed in a border outpost where a more gnarled and grizzled commander placed there from disfavour found his teeth set on edge by this beardless boy and his relentless optimism. Amon found himself with the worst of possible duties, such as were normally reserved for those under punishment or reprimand of some kind. From digging out and cleaning latrines, to whatever backbreaking labour under the burning sun was available, it fell to Amon's (if at least increasingly toned for the endless strain of it) shoulders. And he did so without complaint, or faltering, or breaking. When a seething with frustrated fury commander demanded the why of it, the youth said simply and with calm.<br/><br/>""Though I know who should be set to them normally, these are duties that must be done all the same. Even the most odious of tasks in any great working must be done, lest others must be pulled from their own jobs to do them, in a cascading chain that sees a grand society that grows from the support of even the smallest tasks collapse for their lack. There is no shame in then in the grace of acts that preserve a functioning beyond the person doing them.""<br/><br/>Incensed, his superior shifted gears, and had everyone around Amon given far more burdensome assignments, proclaiming the boy was accorded special treatment due to his higher birth, working to have Amon hated and spurned by those he served with. And it succeeded well enough, save for Amon enduring the disdain, curses, ostracism and occasional bruises (though he would defend himself in fights) without complaint, temper, curses, or a flagging of morale. In fury once more, his commander called Amon before him, and his explanation was given with the same ease and quiet self assurance as before.<br/><br/>""These men who hate me, and are burdened to the point of pain in their duties, succeed in them all the same, serve and endure all the same. And it is because of that hate of me. They have a unity they did not have before, a brotherhood between them that will serve them well on the battlefield or in campaign, long after their memories of me are gone. Though I would rather inspire that in them through hope and great deeds, their loathing is a small price for me to pay for strangers to become brothers.""<br/><br/>Choking on rage, his commander moved Amon up to active service. Patrols in the worst locations, in the harshest environments, in the bloodiest of missions, with as little support as might be possible, hoping to see the boy maimed or mangled, sent to fear and trauma and flight along home.  Through will, skill and tenacity, Amon returned each time with objectives realized, even if with the pain of fresh injuries here and there, and the blood that would cover him sometimes his own. And when he was healed (or healed enough as his commander would allow), he went back out again. He was pressed into action again and again, to the point where he might have to crawl to return through fatigue, but he crawled all the same. Such convalescences as he could get often interrupted with thinly justified floggings or other punishments.  It rehabilitated his reputation with his brethren at least, as they saw at last deeds and bearing to inspire, a stoic endurance that awed them.<br/><br/>At long last, he was brought again before his leader, who was near ragged and red from the sheer force of the hate and rage he carried. And then Amon sincerely thanked him.<br/><br/>""I used to worry. That all my dreams were the fancies of a child. Beautiful, but only because they were shaped from glass and just as fragile. That they would not survive adversity, hardship, bloodshed and warfare, with the sight of my own people choosing their lesser impulses over their better ones. Now I know my dreams are forged in steel. Now I know I can live for them, die for them, lead men for them. I owe you more than I can ever repay in my lifetime, but I promise you, I will do everything I can to share the strength you have given me, back with you.""<br/><br/>His commander demolished his own office in incoherent, feral anger, bringing a greatsword towards an unblinking, unflinching Amon (who it must be said was otherwise not in great shape to defend himself), who said just simply.<br/><br/>""If you kill me, you'll always remember who broke who, and it will consume you.""<br/><br/>Amon was soon transferred after that, though the letter of commendation with it was a strange thing, saying just that ""You cannot defeat this soldier, you can only kill him.""<br/><br/>Amon's service since then has been as sterling as should be expected from a paladin, earning him an officer's commission (whatever one would be suitable). He is praised by those he serves with for inspiring the men around him to greater effort, and for heroic acts on behalf of pharaoh, land, and people.<br/><br/>His view of Osirion's occupation of Absalom is one of absolute need, given the nature of the other forces present, from infernalism to decadence. If his nation was not there, he might have requested of himself to travel out.  His is a great nation, where men who were one day in bondage have been manumitted to the point where a very Council of Liberated Slaves runs most of the nation, where a people languishing in stagnation have risen back to glory. These qualities are a strength and virtue the whole world can benefit from, and Absalom is where Osirion can show that for truth. He tempers his sorrow at the state of the city with a hope for the opportunities that can come."

Born into the powerful house of Thrune of Cheliax, his birth was another chance to solidify power and establish dominance through inter-marrying of political splinters. However, in the shadows the servants whispered treacherous, treasonous words. Such that he was born too late to be his father's son, who had long since set sail to a remote Chelaxian colony. Perhaps his beautiful, regal mother had bed a devil, or made some dark pact with elder spirits for an heir, or there was a tryst with a toy from House Sarini. Such rumors were dangerous, for Mistress Ravonnica of the house was a fierce and deadly matriarch.<br/><br/>Other rumors, however, abounded, and were far more likely to be true. Such that she bathed her stomach in blood during the pregnancy, or etched infernal runes across her flesh with snakes' poison, and that secret offerings were made to the cult of Geryon that she would have a cunning and venomous heir.<br/><br/>And so she gave birth to a healthy, beautiful child. Even at a young age he was spiteful and passionate, growing like a twisted rose under the unswerving tutelage of his wicked mother. The arcane arts came naturally to him, with a simplistic ease that allowed him to devote less time to his studies and more time to the vile pranks he played on his school-mates. When one of them mysteriously went missing, the boy finally felt the harsh hand of his mother, and the talk that rules were meant to be bent, not broken. That without order there was no power, and should he endanger the name of his house and his mother again, there would be no love left for him.<br/><br/>By the time he was adolescent, childish mischief was left behind, replaced by a cold and unforgiving sadism. It was with dispassionate ruthlessness that he advanced, and soon graduated to join the Hellknights. Reason without feeling, and punishment without recourse. As he continued to advance in his magical skills, he soon came to wear the crimson cloak of a Signifier in the Order of the Gate. In the Mendor Mountains, far from his mother's watchful eye, he embrace the ideals of Cheliax with open arms -- and, indeed, with his unnervingly beautiful appearance, that was not all he embraced. Rarely did the young man find want of lust or loneliness, and for him, such conquests were merely another tool of power and domination.<br/><br/>(more to come!)<br/>"

Despite his rather ordinary, dark hair and eyes, he's unquestionably attractive, and carries a strong air of confidence. His clothing, especially since the most recent disaster, is more utilitarian than ostentatious, and, while he carries an easy, relaxed smile, most of the time, he's as likely to slip a knife in your back as pat it.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Raised in Cheliax, in a slightly-above-farmer family, third of four children, Charles showed both an impressive intellect and an innate magical ability, even at a young age. Realizing that his talents would be wasted in a small town, he was sent to Absalom shortly after his eleventh birthday, to seek out and apprentice under a master wizard. Despite his cunning and his obvious skill at magic, apprenticeship was not for him; between stealing from his master, running off and leaving chores unfinished, and general troublemaking, usually involving complex pranks on anyone he felt looked down on him, he went through three different mentors over the course of five years, with only a minimal control over his abilities.<br/><br/>Free of his responsibilities, he soon turned his skills away from common vandalism to thievery, making a relatively impressive gain for himself in a few weeks, until he crossed he wrong merchant, in an upscale bar. Seven months in jail taught him two things. First, he was not invincible, and would be better served by planning carefully, and, second, he needed allies. The second problem was solved by a street urchin he met, while in jail, a young half-elf boy named Thomas, who led him into a small band of thieves that ran in the area between the docks and the merchant district.<br/><br/>Over the past year, he's worked well with the group, his skill at planning, despite his plots being unnecessarily detailed and complex, taking into account more issues than any normal person would, helped the band to increase their wealth considerably, skillfully manipulating some of the lazier guards into believing that it was other groups that had caused the robberies he was responsible for, keeping the pressure off of them. While none of his heists have been impressive, by a skilled thief's standards, they are notable in that he's yet to lose a man to the guards or security, nor does there seem to be much suspicion on them. In that time, thanks to a rather devout follower, he's converted to following Calistria, admiring her skill at cunning and manipulation.<br/><br/>All seemed to be going well, despite the invasions; the targets changed, slightly, but it was business as usual. At least, until last week, when a magical conflict in the street just outside the old house they used as a base led to a stray fire damaging most of the buildings along the street, destroying their sanctuary and leaving several members of the band dead. Now, Charlie remains as the leader of the diminished band; young Thomas, the group's 'medic', a former acolyte named Florence, and twin brothers Phillip and William."

However, the problem there is that, the further you are from the big cities, the more sway the local religions have. Her town was almost contested between the major elemental deities, and Natalja was raised into worship of Kossuth.<br/><br/>This was the regular praise and donation kind of fare for much of her life, as she was trained simply to be a guide and path-beater, nothing particularly out-there. Nonetheless, it was in one of the lengthy outings in the forests that Natalja first learned what true terror was, when goblins (on the run from the war up North) attacked. They were nearly as frightened as her, but they had numbers and were armed. She would have been killed were it not for their alchemical flasks to ignite, immolating them before her eyes. This was a sign: Kossuth surely blessed her.<br/><br/>Since then, Natalja has started to travel across the lands, intent on serving her god and spreading knowledge of the cleansing, purifying abilities of fire. Slowly, as her focus on the element increased, she became more and more attuned to it, even gaining allies born of the elements, and bringing them around Toril to help ease the lives of others and burn evil to the ground...<br/><br/>...until the day she stepped too far into the dark unknown. Undead were destroying a small town, cloaked in fog, and she was too quick to rush in, destroying the shambling corpses in a blaze of fire. When she turned around, the group were lost. They could see each other, but no way out of the mists, no way back home. Soon, they realised they were trapped in another world, one that was darker and more wicked by far.<br/><br/><table

Her face is small and round, with wide green eyes that often exist in a half-open state. There are marks on her pink cheeks that look, at first glance, like delicate scars from a childhood disease. Pale, snowy-white, and barely visible, they continue down her neck and shoulders (and over much of her naked body, including her thighs and lower legs) in a feline repetition. Her ears are also misshapen, long and sleekly triangular, with a hint of hair at each corner.<br/><br/>The girl frequently dons attractive clothing and jewelry to complement her looks. Delicate white blouses, and colorful skirts inspired by the gypsies themselves...she often does not fit in with the more downtrodden and common folk of the misty lands. She usually wears a lavish necklace, dripping with red rubies, around her neck and she's quite fond of bracelets and rings on her long arms and hands. She never wears earrings.<br/><br/>The flash and glitter of the exotic in her garb and jewelry helps to hide her long, sharp nails and the ever-active tail she keeps lashed to her right thigh and knee and leg. Life for Nishka is a balance between accentuating her incredibly attractive, human qualities while trying her best to downplay her more exotic features.<br/><br/>Several years ago, Nishka was given a gift by a noble in Darkon. She often uses her<em>Ring of Chameleon Power</em>to numb down her looks and appear completely human. In this form she still looks stunning, but many of her feline traits are no longer visible. For some reason, though, the ring has never been able to hide her tail; it causes Nishka a great amount of frustration.<br/><br/>Without resorting to disguises, Nishka is very easy to spot in a crowd, and its very difficult for her to do anything without drawing a fair bit of attention. At times she also uses the ring to appear much more common, or simply pretty, for this very reason. However, Nishka's personality and actions cannot be magically altered as well, so most people who see the Felid in disguise will recognize that there is something off, or wrong about her anyway.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Nishka was born to a large, human family in Barovia, and she was almost abandoned at birth and left to die in the snowy winter. Unlike most other little girls in her family, Nishka represented minor, bestial traits from the moment she left her mother's womb. To keep such a child was considered dangerous and unwise in the harsh social climate of Barovia. In a place where the night hunts you and those you love, the last thing you want to do is raise a monster in your midst.<br/><br/>However, Nishka's grandmother had once given up a similar child, and had regretted it. So she took the child and raised her against the family's protests. Nishka's childhood was spent in solitude and mundane service, and while it wasn't a lavish life, it was warm and full of love. Other children harassed her in her youth, and there were nights where angry people would come to her Grandmama's door and argue with her for long hours into the night. But a child? How could a child cause any harm to the villagers.<br/><br/>As Nishka grew, so did her bestial traits. But she did not grow into a monster. Rather, she became more and more stunning as she aged, until she reached puberty and adolescence afterward. Each day she drew more and more attention, until she no longer felt comfortable in public.<br/><br/>And that's when a noble somewhere noticed her. Her Gandmama was told one day by the local magistrate that Nishka was to be made presentable, and that a black carriage would arrive to take her away that very night. But the girls who left in those carriages never returned, and it terrified both the younger teen and her protector. She ran away before that fateful carriage could arrive, fleeing her home and the lands of Barovia itself. She never intended to return.<br/><br/>The rest of her years to present were spent traveling the dark lands of Ravenloft. She has some knowledge of just how frightening and cruel the world can be, but she's hardly an expert. Most of her time was spent in Darkon, where demihumans are much more common and accepted, but she has seen glimpses of many lands. She knows as much as any resident of these dark lands knows: be wary of drawing too much attention, and when the sun sets and the night comes a'calling, bar your doors and windows and never, ever listen to the sounds outside.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>As a sidenote, there is a hushed legend in her family, regarding a woman deep in the family's past. Apparently she tarried outside too late one night, and she was attacked and forcibly taken by something inhuman. Though no child ever came from the union, ever since then, children have been born every couple of generations with Felid traits. That's the story, anyway...<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>During her journeys, Nishka has also spent some time in Dementlieu and Mordent and has developed an intense fascination for firearms and gunpowder. She has learned how to create gunpowder, through much study, and trial and error; she tends to default to the explosive device whenever possible.<br/><br/><strong>Motivations &amp; Personality:</strong>Nishka presents herself as a bard and entertainer, and that gives her more freedom than the average soul in her travels. Inns and taverns welcome the ravishing girl, instead of treating her with ingrained suspicion; it is better to sing for your meals than to be 'the Stranger.' She has taken to this path with glee, and finds much pleasure in the songs and tales she sings. She sometimes augments her performances with magic, but in the Land of Dread, such displays often arrouse too much fright.<br/><br/>She's a bold and excitable girl, but she lives in the prison of her own discomfort. Although she receives much attention, it all makes her uncomfortable. Those who are attracted to her always ferret out her peculiarities; if they should embrace them, it insults the young woman. Worse still are those who spot her exotic features right away. She lives in constant fear of the lynch mob, and she understands what those people wanted to do to her so many years ago, in her home town in Barovia. She has been places, and seen elves burned for the sake of their long ears and their 'unholy' bond with the dark lands; worse yet, she's ventured to the borders of a realm where nonhumans are immediately enslaved. So fear is a natural, and instinctual, part of her being.<br/><br/>Still, while she tries to be cautious, Nishka is a rash and impulsive being, often lacking common sense or perspective on the things that happen around her. She's too quick to give attention, often flees when in danger, and has been known to prematurely resort to violence to resolve a situation. She can analyze herself later, and understand what went wrong, but in the moment she lacks any great amount of self control.<br/><br/>One of her biggest goals is to understand her 'curse.' Although she hasn't done anything that she considers overly evil, she's heard the stories of inhuman creatures that slaughter and kill, and she's always worried that she might be changing into one of them. To that end, she studies and collects lore on shapeshifters and demihumans, trying to find some way to 'cure' herself and become 'truly' human. Her condition, however, is purely genetic, and there's nothing short of powerful magic or the Mists themselves that can remove the Felid's blood from her."

Her hair is dark brown, thick, shoulderlength, and unkempt. Her amber eyes are constantly looking around, only stopping occasionally to stare at a passerby as if trying to sense their motives.  There is a slight craziness in her eyes as if she could fly into a rage at the slightest provocation.  There is a certain look of pain there as well.  She frequently sniffs the air around her, wary of danger.  She does not burden herself with adornments save one - a rather large axe.<br/><br/>Background (this part courtesy of Fae!): Calypsa was born mewling and suckling at her mother's teet, and she never knew her human form before the Mists took her. Her native world, Arach, is a land of shapeshifting beasts, and there were only legends and stories of humans there.<br/><br/>Calypsa was strong from her birth, pushing the siblings of her litter around and forcing even the biggest of males into submission. As she aged, she became a hunter and then a protector, and finally a great warrior-hero of her pack. The other lycanthrophic tribes in the area surrounding her pack's lands knew and feared her name. She had taken many lives in the defense of her home and family.<br/><br/>One night, though, as she stalked the forests of her pack's territory alone, a great fog came sweeping over her. She was a warrior, and the mists did not scare her. Things--succulent prey animals and hated enemies--moved just beyond her sight and though she lashed out at them and their magics, her teeth never found flesh and blood. Fatigued after hours of being lost in the dread vapors, Calypsa collapsed in exhaustion.<br/><br/>Upon awakening, the she-wolf discovered a horrid reality. The mists of Ravenloft had gifted her with a new form: that of a human being. Weak, fragile, and cut off from all of her senses, Calypsa wandered the new lands in search of answers. Gradually, her ability to shapeshift returned, but it felt...somehow different. She had urges to hunt for pleasure, to kill and not eat....to destroy and ravage. To this day, her ease of shifting and comfort in animal forms is slowly diminishing. She spends far too long in this new human skin for fear that she might cross a terrible line in her true forms.<br/><br/>Motivations & Personality: Calypsa feels trapped in this new form. She is confused and troubled by the foreign thoughts and feelings she has now; why does she have difficulty controlling the impulse to kill? While survival was her main concern when she first entered this place, she seeks now to understand and control these dark urges and use them to her advantage. Maybe then, she can find a way to rejoin her pack, and be free of the turmoil that resides in her."

About average height, perhaps taller than most, with blonde hair down past her legs and a rich tan. That's if she's a hundred meters away and your glasses are dirty.<br/><br/>On a second glance, that skin is finely scaled like the supplest of leather, her hair is tinged green in an inhuman shade, her eyes are brilliant emeralds, and her thick, muscled tail sways a few feet behind her. Her arms and legs bear more obvious scales from elbow and knee. Her hands are wicked talons and her feet are slightly digitigrade, unshod but no less protected for it.<br/><br/>She bears a sword longer than she is tall, sheathed on her back in a scabbard of black, scaly leather. Her chest, shoulders, waist, hips, and thighs are covered in thin, interlocking plates of adamant, finely detailed in silver and gold filigree depicting dragon wings over the swell of each breast, a glaring dragonhead nestled on her busom. Her left claws bear a ring of bronze cast as a serpentine dragon wrapped around her finger, a perfect pearl grasped in its maw. Her right arm bears a shield of steel, bronzed and worked to resemble a rough patch of scales from the flank of a massive Wyrm. Finally she bears a large pack of black leather to match the mighty scabbard on her back.<br/>Unsheathed, the sword Incazin bears its name in draconic runes. The blade is adamant, black with blue highlights on the polished doublesided blade, a blood channel running the course. Five tassels fall from the pommel, each silk shot through with a strand of gold, silver, brass, copper, and in the center bronze. Despite its size it bears the weight of magic, a legacy waiting for true glory.<br/><br/>http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=152627 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=152627)"

Absalom:<br/>(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/pathfinder/images/thumb/0/07/Absalom_map.jpg/462px-Absalom_map.jpg)<br/><br/>The following is a current list of each faction, their leaders and apparent motives, and what districts they control.<br/><br/><strong>Cheliax:</strong><br/>Led by Lord Kravest Cantor of House Thrune, a decorated and ruthless general, Cheliax has taken a large portion of Absalom in an amazingly short time.  His second in command is Lady Abagail Thelis, also of House Thrune.  The two are well known to be enemies, but they have an uneasy truce, as the omens of Aroden have united the House as nothing has before.  After all, the family rules because of their deals with Asmodeus, and Aroden's return threatens this as nothing has before.  As a potent warrior and summoner, the two are a potent combination and threat to all the city.<br/><br/>The majority of Cheliaxan forces are their slave legions, lightly armored and armed with spears, but the primary troops are well armed and armored, making them a deadly threat, even without the aid of the priests of Asmodeus or battle mages.<br/><br/><strong>Ivy District -</strong>Originally the focus of culture and art in Absalom, the Ivy District has changed immensely since Cheliax conquered it.  The residents have fled, by and large, especially the elven population.  In fact, the battles with Osirion over the district destroyed much of it, and a majority of the remaining buildings have been converted to slave quarters or brothels for the soldiers.  Even the shrine to Shelyn was damaged in the attack, and the priestess now resides in the Ascendant Court.<br/><strong>Shoreline -</strong>One of the small, supporting cities to Absalom, Shoreline has been turned into a massive supply camp, and is normally under heavy guard, including hellhounds.<br/><strong>Westgate -</strong>A major residential district, the leadership of the Cheliaxan forces reside in an appropriated mansion in Westgate.  They have also taken to drafting those who live here for their forces, though patrols in most areas are still sparse.<br/><strong>Westerhold -</strong>Another supporting city, Cheliax has turned this town into their primary base of operations for their forces outside the city.  It is among the least secure of their holdings, and many of those that resist Chelaxians sabotage things here by night.<br/><br/><strong>Osirion:</strong><br/>Osirion's business in Absalom was unexpected by any, to say the least, and rumors abound as to why they decided to invade.  The help of elementals as enabled them to take the docks, and for the present time they have stopped there.  Melaku of Sothis is in charge of the occupation, and is aided by High Priest of Sarenrae Jaali Puresight.<br/><br/>The forces of Osirion vary, but the majority of them are lightly armored warriors that wield their longswords, and are usually backed up by priests or priestesses of Sarenrae.  Elementals are often seen aiding them as well, which makes their strength unpredictable at best.<br/><br/><strong>Docks -</strong>Save for the fact that the harbor is all but under siege, and that Osirion's guards patrol here now, the docks of Absalom are largely unchanged.  Many sailors are stuck here, and worry pervades the dock in a desperate undertone, and many hope that the conflict will finish soon, before the entire city is in flames.  A result of these have been over a dozen major fires, which have resulted in the destruction of several warehouses and a number of taverns.<br/>Foreign Quarter - This District has taken more damage than any other in the recent past, as various embassies tried to slow or stop the different factions, and then in the battle between Osirion and Cheliax's forces.  Battles still break out frequently, but for the moment Osirion holds the District against Taldor and Cheliax.<br/><strong>Fort Tempest -</strong>A needed post, but one that was regarded as the worst duty in Absalom, Fort Tempest should have fallen quickly, but it's commander, Oriel of House Uiry, managed to hold out against the assault by the Osirion forces for nearly three weeks before the Fort fell at last.  Osirion keeps the injured commander in private chambers, respecting the measure of success he achieved with too little in the way of resources.  The Fort was heavily damaged in the attack, and repairs are still underway.<br/><strong>Puddles -</strong>The worst district in the city, most of Puddles is under several inches of water, and the center is a festering lake.  Indeed, a few of the buildings are beached ships.  To say that Osirion controls this district is nearly an exaggeration, but they try to patrol the district.  But despite this, crime is at an all-time high in Puddles, and there are dozens of underground groups that gather here.<br/><br/><strong>Qadira:</strong><br/>The ambitions of Xerbystes II are no secret, nor the fact that he wishes to prove himself through conquest.  When Taldor moved to invade Absalom, the Emperor of Kelesh finally gave leave for him to invade, and as such the Satrap sent his trusted adviser, the vizier Hebizid Vraj, as his direct representative in the war.  Hebizid is a powerful sorcerer that regularly summons and binds creatures to his service, and many fear him.<br/><br/>Qadiran forces are of a different style from that of most others, emphasizing mobility in combat, and the city fighting of Absalom has inhibited them to a great degree.  Common soldiers use small shields and scimitars, or falchions instead, and many carry shortbows for use from horseback.  Their mobility is most important to them, but they are unfortunate enough to have limited success with fighting from horseback in the city.<br/><br/><strong>Dawnfoot -</strong>Containing all of the Qadiran calvary, and much of it's supplies, Dawnfoot is heavily guarded now that Qadira has occupied the supporting city.  It, more than anywhere else, shows the influence of the Qadiran forces, and several hasty temples to Sarenrae have been erected here.<br/>Eastgate - The quiet residential district of Eastgate is strangling under Qadiran occupation, and nowhere else in the city does more sabotage or crime occur since the occupation.  Many of the residents, long at odds with each other, have allied against the invaders who kill any who get in their way.<br/><strong>Merchants' Quarter -</strong>Where nearly half of the caravans of the world gather and make deals, taking the Merchants' Quarter was a major windfall for Qadira.  With it they took records of transactions from far and wide, and also gained goods bound for all corners of the world, which became spoils of war.  Thus, they struggle to keep it against both Taldor and Osirion forces, and are losing some ground each day.<br/><strong>Precipice Quarter -</strong>The Precipice Quarter is 'controlled' by no one, despite Qadira's claims.  The area is a ghost town, and staying after dark is oft-times lethal, as many of Qadira's patrols can attest to.  After losing far too many men and women to it, Qadira has issued a soft edict to avoid the undead-haunted district, much as Absalom's government had before them.<br/><strong>Starwatch Keep -</strong>Starwatch Keep fought to the last against Qadiran forces, and actually held out for nearly three days before Hebizid grew impatient with the time it was taking to destroy the threatening forces within.  The spells he unleashed destroyed most of the garrison, if not all, but also destroyed much of the fortification itself by fire.  Rumor has it that Asilia of Gyr, the former commander, escaped and is hiding out while waiting for her wounds to heal so that she can exact revenge on the vizier.<br/><br/><strong>Taldor:</strong><br/>Grand Princess Eutropia herself commands Taldor's forces in Absalom, and she alone has a legitimate, if tenuous, claim on rule of the city.  She has proven herself to be an able, if ruthless, general, but is still building a concrete command staff that she can trust enough to control things while she takes all of Absalom.  Indeed, it is likely only this weakness that has prevented her from taking the entire city already.<br/><br/>Taldor's famed pike legions may not be the best force for the city, but they are well drilled and their bowmen backup even the odds immensely.  Outside of the city the heavy cavalry of Taldor patrols relentlessly, and occasionally they bring out their war elephants.  But they know that it is not who wins the field that will control Absalom, but who takes the city itself, and as such their efforts focus there.<br/><br/><strong>Ascendant Court -</strong>The central hub of all Absalom, the edges of the district are fortified by Taldor's forces to prevent all four other factions from taking this district.  Business is somewhat constrained, but Taldor has been careful not to interfere with the many temples in this district.<br/><strong>Copperwood -</strong>The last of the supporting cities of Absalom, Copperwood is the center of Taldor's exterior defenses, and as such the population has been put to work fortifying it with earthworks.  The Grand Princess has won much of the population's loyalty, and this is among the most secure areas of the city.<br/><strong>Petal District -</strong>Regular patrols through this district make it peaceful, but it is nowhere near as secure as Taldor would hope, and regular attacks from Qadiran forces to the south make traveling the streets dangerous at times.  Many of the wealthier families of Absalom live here, and their plotting and scheming has only increased since the invasion.<br/><br/><strong>Loyalists:</strong><br/>The last surviving member of the Grand Council of Absalom, Wynsal Starborn, commands the Loyalists, and he still holds his cornucopia, which is the only reason that they have not fallen.  Bolstered at last by the aid of the priests of Aroden, the Loyalists fight hard, but they are fighting a losing battle.  Only the conflict between the other sides gives them any hope, and that is fast dwindling.  The few priests of Aroden are certain that he will come before the end, but the others are not so certain.<br/><br/>The forces of the First Guard of Absalom are the best equipped in the world, and highly trained, but their numbers are not enough to stop the attackers.  They fight together, but little by little they are being driven back, but until they fall they will fight, shoulder to shoulder, with swords in hand.<br/><br/><strong>Azlanti Keep -</strong>Although technically a fortification, Azlanti keep would be considered a city in its own right anywhere else in the world.  The fortress is large, well defended, and the most dangerous fortress known.  The vast majority of loyalists live here now, fighting against the invaders of their city.<br/><strong>The Coins -</strong>This district doesn't fall under the command of Lord Wynsal, indeed, it is being defended using mercenaries and the wealth of the merchants therein.  The one commanding the defense is the mysterious Harlequin, head of the local thieves guild.  Many forces that invade The Coins mysteriously disappear, and the merchants have managed to make a deal with Osirion forces to allow their goods to keep moving by ship, though Qadiran control of Starwatch Keep makes this a dangerous proposition.<br/><strong>Wise Quarter -</strong>Center of learning of Absalom, the district is also home to Absalom's largest school of magic, and such has been the reason that Cheliaxan forces haven't had success in invading so far.  Spell-traps targeting devils have been liberally placed all over, and myriad other defenses make the district a dangerous proposition to navigate even if one isn't a devil."

Patrols such as his own were a way of offering an alternative to just accepting a quality of life that the city itself seemed to have done nothing about.

Overlooking the city, Flamewarden Keep's walls stood stark and gray against the rose of dawn coloring the sky to the east. The once-proud castle had fallen into disrepair in recent years, the soldiers for the most part deserted, the surrounding lands permitted to lay fallow. Lord Flamewarden, it was rumored, had turned to seeking salvation in strong drink following a jousting accident that left his only son paralyzed; his wife had fallen ill and died soon thereafter. This morning, a lone rider departed the keep, heading towards Starport. This rider was Lorraine Flamewarden, daughter of the house, a tall figure, clad in armor instead of a proper dress and sitting astride her horse like a warrior, rather than adopting a highborn lady's pose. With the family fortunes as low as they were, the young lady had decided to seek her fortune on the roads - there must be something to do for a blade-for-hire. Solamnia wasn't known for being a peaceful nation, and failing that, there were always the border conflicts - with Nightlund to the northeast, with Throt and Taman Busuk south of that... and failing that, maybe on shipboard. Or maybe in other ways and places..."

Lorraine is tall enough and broad enough of shoulder to be easily mistaken for a man; and with her armor and the heavy leather vest that further conceals what little curves she does have, especially with her long black hair braided and wrapped around her head under her helm, it would take more than a casual glance to realise she's anything more than the green fighter she appears to be. A sword on her hip and a heavy shield resting across her shoulders completes the picture.<br/>Leather creaked a little under Lorraine's weight as she shifted in the saddle, looking over her shoulder just once. At this distance, the old castle seemed less like a half-ruined wreck and more like the home she remembered of old, wreathed in mist, morning sunlight just striking the upper battlements. She sighed, and straightened, tightening her legs to urge her horse into a lope. Kervin was good enough to suggest a few places to start, and point her in the appropriate direction for the nearest. Lorraine had never actually been to Starport - she'd been through Starport, of course, but that was hardly the same thing.<br/>"

Located ninety miles to the north of the capital, it served as the primary port for Southlund, located as it was at the only shoreline that allowed the building of a harbor within several hundred miles. As a result, the town was crowded at all times, smelled of fish and the sea, and even an armored, mounted and armed man was frequently jostled. Merchants manned their stalls, hawking their goods; the caravan inns near the road gates were full of people from all over Solamnia's west coast, including even a few dwarves and kender. Closer to the harbor, the establishments tended to cater more to the needs of mariners, offering all sorts of hard drink and diversions; the possibility of violence was very real here - Lorraine thought she even spotted a bull-headed figure in one of the taverns."

There were no people on the streets and everything seamed abandoned from a fair distance, like it was resting. But if you look close you can see that there is life here and things only seem peaceful, while beneath the surface things were much more complicated.<br/>Even at that late hour someone was working. Gaiana, punctual to her work as usual, couldn’t live the idea of not finishing in time so she stayed up late. Times were difficult for her father’s business. With all the pirates’ attacks, only last month they lost three of their ships.<br/>So she had to write. Letters to her father’s Egyptian and Persian partners had to be ready by morning. The candles were nearly finished and she saw how the slave girl walked in and replaced them with new ones.<br/>“Laena, bring me some more ink.”, the mistress said to her with a distant voice. The slave bowed and silently walked out of the room. It had passed awhile since she was free, but sometimes, you could tell that once she was a free spirit. There was something in the way her eyes glowed that gave her away (and had earned her many lashes in the past). She returned shortly, bringing a small vial that had been prepared earlier today. The girl left it on the wooden desk and bowed again, but didn’t leave. It was a sign she wanted to speak with her mistress. Gaiana didn’t notice that at once and when she did, she just said “Yes, you can speak, girl.”<br/>“I had to remind madame that tomorrow is the big dinner in honour of your little sister. And your father wanted you to participate and write a speech of gratitude towards the guests.”<br/>Gaiana sighed. She was so into her work she had nearly forgotten about that. It was a great honour, actually, to have your little sister be a potential High Priestess of Athena. But it also meant she had more work to do. Her whole family was devoting most of their time to prepare and support Diana for the day the decision would be announced. But for Gaiana, the pirate problem was came first. To get her elected, they had to give lots of presents to the right people, and money was drying…<br/><br/><br/><br/>In another part of the city, Donaracles was concerned with his missing servant. She was one of the best in the kitchen, daughter to his cook and her disappearance was strange and shocking to people that knew her. She always worked with passion and it was not in her character to just leave things and run away. Young girls do that, but it didn’t seem to be the case. Her parents were convinced that she was kidnapped by a sea monster because the last place she’d been seen was near the pyre. Most of his servants were talking about the other three girls missing in the town, and there were rumors of a vicious monster that ate maidens. Donaracles was fairly skeptical about the monster part, but this cast disturbance in his household and some of the younger slaves and servants were terrified of going outside, even in broad daylight.<br/>There was something good about that, though- with the monster attacking maidens, most of the other girls had taken the appropriate measures not to be targeted.<br/><br/>There was one place that was usually full of life even at the small hours of the night. “Rest for heroes” had never seen a hero cross its door since the tavern was built, but it was the most respected tavern in the city. Unlike other places of that sort, it gathered not only the scum and low-life of society, but sometimes, it even had honest visitors that hand never been afraid a price could be placed on their had. They were still a minority, though.<br/>It was one of those places where night didn’t pass without a lovely fight. Licinia was sitting at a small table, in the far corner of the room. From time to time, she looked at the growing fight but tonight she just wasn’t in the mood to join. She was thinking about her assignment. This time, she was sent to deliver a message to one of the priestesses of Athena in Lindos, some Alexa girl. She was going to the temple first thing in the morning, because the massage was urgent. Or so they said, but it couldn’t have been something so important. Otherwise it would have been sent with a ship from the city of Rhodos. She had good mind to go straight to the temple, but since she arrived so late, Licinia decided to spend the night in the tavern and deliver the message in the morning.<br/><br/>The Acropolis of Lindos. A huge construction overlooking the city and the sea. From up there, you can see all the peninsula. And inside was the temple of Athena, the buildings in which her priestesses lived. It was like a small city, inhabited mostly by women. It had its own leader, the High Priestess, its own guards and the warrior priestesses were its army. And now, with the time to elect a new High Priestess, everyone was on pins and needles. The old one was very sick and could die at any moment. The priestess that had amassed the most support by this time, would get the title. The decision was made by the Ten Priestesses, acting like a little council to the High Priestess, and each had her own area of competence. And their decision was mainly dictated by the deeds of the elected ones, their recommendations and many other factors. Money was supposed not be a factor. Well, it was supposed it wasn’t.<br/>Alexa was one of those Ten, and this night, she couldn’t go to sleep, thinking about the upcoming decision she had to make.<br/><br/>There was a noise. Such a loud noise that it woke Alyssandra up It took her a while to realize what was going on.<br/>Someone was knocking at her door. It wasn’t something new to her. People often came at odd hors searching for miracles, believing that she could do magic or something. This was very annoying to her, especially when they brought black dogs for sacrifice, supposing she’s a secret priestess of Hecate. But sometimes, there were people who actually understood the nature of her work, and such people provided her with a fair amount of money for the things she could do. Alyssandra rolled from her bed and grabbing the first clothes-like thing she could find, she went for the door. There was a man in his thirties, or prematurely old, with raven-black hair and very well-dressed.<br/>“I am looking for Alyssandra of Pyrrha.”, he said in a gallant voice.<br/>“You have found her. And may I ask why the late hour?”<br/>“I need something. It’s a matter of life and death, and should be handled in private. And they said you are the best. I’m going to pay generously.”<br/>And with those words, he showed a purse that looked…nice. In a heavy way.<br/>Obviously, his four guards allowed him to carry such amounts of money in the city at night. She just hoped he wouldn’t bring these four brutes in her house, since he needed privacy. They seemed little better than animals or barbarians.<br/>“You can come and we can talk in private, but your guards stay outside.”<br/>He nodded to them and followed her in.<br/>“So, what is this about?”<br/>“I need two things from you. I need a sleeping potion, and a love mixture.”<br/>"

Pointing out the fact that she was thinking, somewhat hard. Her eyes opened as the girls fingers kneaded her overworked shoulders.

Watching the ink spread on the paper, she thought of the words she would use to put down how she felt about her sister. And how her sister felt about becoming a priestess. She began to write. Letting the ink flow from her utensil to the paper smoothly. She leaned forward, forgetting anything else that was around her. Remembering their shared past.

It was short, simple, but got her point across. She was happy. And tired. She held onto the piece of parchment. Deciding to take it into her room. That way it would not be seen, by accident or purpose. With these thoughts of going to bed she realized that the gentle hands had left her neck. Then remembered they had done so a while ago. She looked around the room for Laena and saw her where she usually was. Sitting on her pillow directly behind Gaiana's work desk.<br/><br/>""Come girl. It is time we went to bed I think."" She almost reached out a hand to help her up. Then stopped herself. Gaiana had never really had a slave before, not one that tendered only to her needs. And certainly not one that she cared for. But, she always seemed to have a problem ordering any of the household slaves around. She liked people too much. And she especially liked this girl, who had a great fire in her and was smarter than she liked to let on. She smiled as she waited to the side of the doorway. Letting Laena gather the lantern and light the way to their shared rooms. As they started to walk the hall, Laena in front.

The slave had seen it in practice a few times during her travels with her different Masters, but she had never been so close to someone doing it, nor able to sit and watch. The flowing lines mesmerized her and as she sat and watched her Mistress, she felt a pang of sadness, remembering all the time she had spent as a child watching her mother grind herbs.<br/><br/>Her musing was interrupted as her Mistress turned to her and spoke. She immediately got the lantern and led the way from the workroom to their chambers. When Gaiana touched her shoulder in the hallway, she felt the patch of skin tighten into goosebumps. ""You're welcome, Madame."" She spoke softly and with a slight accent, trying to ignore the way her heart fluttered at the praise. She continued to lead the way down the hallway and when they arrived, Laena went to get everything set just the way her Mistress liked it.<br/><br/>Once she had completed her tasks of lighting the oil and arranging the pillows just so, she went to help her Mistress undress for bed. This was usually the best part of her day, because she revered the shape of her Mistress' body so much.

Instead, she gently took the cloth garment from her Mistress' body, and went to replace it with a lighter night shift, hesitating only a moment to take a quick look at the amazing silhouette in front of her.

And just in time! A couple of minutes later there was a knock at the door and she went to see who it was. Calla was in charge of greeting the customers, taking the orders and then giving the finished product.<br/>It was a handsome man with dark hair and strong but graceful arms.

Two of the others were gravely hurt, too, and one was saved by his armor.<br/>The guards reacted like the trained killers that they were, covering themselves with their shields and charging the spear-wielders with a battlecry.

Then again, and again...<br/>In the second they closed, their opponents reacted with the same trick, swinging their staffs low to sweep their feet from under them. One of them jumped over the staff and plunged his sword through the body of his attacker. The sword went in, tnan appeared from his back and the body sank down. Hw was lucky- not one, but two spears flew past his ears, missing his unprotected back. He spun round, presenting his shield arm to the spear wielders. The other two were down, though, and were getting bashed by long staves. One of them was smart enough to swing his staff low and crash it against the foot of the guard, where the armor was not protecting him. Everybody heard the bone snapping, and the bloodied guard screamed in pain. He was highly unlikely to step back up, and his attacker retreated from the charge of the remaining guard, parrying the hungry blade. The other two rolled away from their attackers, whose staves bashed the ground.<br/>By then the girls were together, surrounded by fighting groups of men. They saw the staff hit the guard's hand, passing like a snake around the shield, and then not one, but two spears plunged in the guard's back, ending his heroic defense. The only one who had successfully risen from the ground broke and ran, throwing his weapon away and leaving the girls to their fate...<br/>Three of the attackers ran after him.<br/><br/>OOC: The whole thing means you've got about 10 seconds when nobody is watching you - that's how a fight in GURPS goes.

Nobody knows just how far the endless jungles and forests of Ethrenia stretch for the world itself is so large not but half of the world has been explored. Still new adventuress happen daily by people such as yourselves. Your journeys have brought you all to the Sacred Turtle Tavern, a great magical location which moves of its own accord along the edges of the Jungle, Cati'n Bru, the latest in target exploration areas. The Sacred Turtle Tavern is a gigantic turtle that had long ago been slain and petrified, the inside carved out to make a tavern that travels magically around the world. The staff of the tavern have been paid to travel around the fringe of this mighty jungle and house adventurers for free on royal order.<br/><br/>As far as any of you have seen Cati'n Bru is the single most horrifying jungle you have ever seen, even only just arriving at the fringe. Trees so large as to swallow entire cities in their canopies exist in unbelievable number, the trunks themselves wide enough to engulf a dragon and still leave many hundreds of feet on either side for the creature to burrow through before reaching freedom. Great serpents larger than any creature you have ever seen silently yet visibly drift through the branches high above, droves of them and their smaller cousins making the canopy above seem to shift and shake despite the fact that even there, high in the endless greens and reds of this jungle, there is no wind to be spoken of. A great lake is within view and on it's surface is a thin film that lights it up as the sun. These are the jungle's lights, the very stars that illuminate these parts are at ground level, a thin glowing film on the water's surface. This far in the canopy is too thick even for the brightest of days to penetrate to the ground below. Night and day here doesn't exist, only the times when one is sleeping and when on is awake.<br/><br/>Contrary to what some would think, however, there seems to be signs of intelligent life in this horrible place. Remains of the most ancient of peoples lie about, ruins of the tallest structures and the greatest works of architecture that could have ever been imagined. How long ago these amazing people must have lived none of you dare speculate aloud. Great statues adorn the fringes of the jungle, almost seeming alive as they stare lifelessly at you from the deeps of this mighty jungle.<br/><br/>All of you have always worked alone for the most part, not having thought to bring a group for this exploration. However, upon seeing this awe inspiring scene, facing the monsters that can only live in the fringes for their weakness yet still can kill all but the most powerful adventurers such as yourself, you all find that having at least one partner would be the smart choice. There is many a powerful adventurer in The Sacred Turtle Tavern. Mayhap it best for all of you to find a few partners for this amazing quest into the great unknown. Nobody knows what kind of creature you may wake up to see chewing on your back if you have nobody watching it."

Her boots clomped on the floor as she moved over the petrified insides of the turtle. She turned her eyes toward the ceiling examining the interior of the tavern as she inched towards the bar. Her clothes provided an effective shroud in the dense shadows of the cavernous room.<br/><br/>Jo moved close to the bar, dropping her hands back to her sides and glancing down at the bear cub. She leaned against the side of the bar and looked back toward the bar tender for a moment. The cub climbed at her leg playfully and she smirked off to the side, ""You're going to have to behave yourself in here, Beo,"" she said in cool tone. The bear eyed her as if he understood perfectly.<br/><br/>""We can't have more of the incidents like last time. Be good and there might be a special treat in it for you later,"" she said with a wink.

She wasn't trying to hide it either. Five flights up she had finally gotten to her little staff room, opening her door and leaving it wide open as she stripped down, even after a hundred years of goodness having never truly found the real appreciation for privacy. As Jo spoke to her she jumped in surprise a bit, looking back at her curiously and sighing in relief as she noticed that it was simply one of the young adventurers she would soon be traveling with. the most adorable little bear stood next to her, a cub if anything with little spiky protrusions. It would have to be a dire bear, of course. Even looking so vicious, the thing was all too adorable.<br/><br/>On the lines of strength Eldamorea giggled. ""I suppose we can be strong. I was always a bit stronger than normal even for a wretched demon but when I found the light of good I decided to go down the path of hard labor, a fighter's life, that is."" Elda reached out around her bed, picking up her gigantic maul with a single hand and placing it next to her door. The thing was vastly over sized even as far as enormous weapons such as it's type were. The head was entirely black, an adamantine maul that Elda had collected on her adventures to gain her purity. In fact, the whole room was covered in strange objects and weapons. Eldamorea, the Eldamorea now at least, was the stereotypical rare item collector, or so it seemed. ""If my old brethren hadn't seen the light of purity and goodness by the time you got to them I believe it best that they were suitably punished for their unjust ways.""<br/><br/>Elda grabbed her leather warrior's skirt at this moment, pulling her leather hip boots on right after, ignoring altogether the fact that she should be putting on an undergarment of some sort, leaving her without any coverings under her half-knee length battle skirt. Her little tail stuck out through a little hole in the back of the skirt. Next came a silken shirt of maroon with an unusually low neckline. Elda pulled out a chain shirt white in color. It looked so light, so well made that to wear it underneath the clothes would more than likely be a comfortable experience. A bodice, brilliantly sewn from what seemed practically glowing lion's fur was placed on, Elda looking back to Jo. ""If you would, please could you help me with my bodice? The ties in the back are very difficult.""<br/><br/>The bodice was softer than any cloth Jo would have ever felt and after it was all done Elda's breasts were amazingly accentuated, almost jumping out of the bodice itself. Elda smiled and bounced a bit in her bodice before answering Jo's second question.<br/><br/>""Oh, I was once a horrible fiend, a wretched creature devout in the belief that evil was the correct path, sure that destroying people and bringing harm to the world of good was correct to do, even pleasant! It is horrible to even think back to it. However I, at one point, found a wonderful young saint, more pure than the very best of priests, and devilishly handsome beyond even my own wildest beliefs. With Graz'zt's permission I went to take him for my own, preserve every last bit of his soul for myself when I forced him into submission beneath me. It was a wonderful night. Still, for some reason, I couldn't best him and at the end I sought to destroy the handsome young saint, reaching to take his life from him. However, before I could so much as touch him he brought forth a diamond, so pure as to hurt my eyes. He spoke some words which I do not recall and I was torn from my body, rent from my very being, the plane as a whole and into the diamond itself. I was there for a year, waiting, biding my time. At first, of course, I was angry, I wished death on that wily young man for entrapping me and vowed that when I was freed, as I knew Lord Graz'zt would eventually do for me, that I would hunt him down and kill him in the most wonderful way possible.<br/><br/>""Still I stayed in that little prison and found that perhaps what I had done had been wrong. For over a thousand years I had been harming people and spreading terror. I had been causing death in the thousands and I had not card a bit about it. I grew sad, sorrowful that I had done so much harm. Eventually I found that not only what I had done was bad but plain evil. Evil needed to be stopped, it needed to be undone. What kind of shroud had I been under all my life that I hadn't known this simple, pure truth. Eventually I had realized that I would have to repent, to destroy, in the world, all evil that was present. I burst free from my prison in a shattering light and apologized to that wonderful young saint who had taught me the error of my ways, I bed him many times as thanks for his wondrous forcing of goodness onto me and I then set out to undo my evils and all evil in the world! To do right what was wrong and to collect all the things that I could in order to destroy evil wherever it reared its disgusting head. I only wish, now, that my horrendous figure, the figure that truly represents evil despite my newly pure ways, would be thrown aside and replaced with the beautiful form of an angel.""<br/><br/>1d20+21 → [16,21] = (37)<br/>Perform (Oratory) for the gigantic back story I just had to type as a speech<br/><br/>Elda quickly slung ,over her shoulders, a great velvet cape and clasped it, a silver brooch with numerous blue diamonds clipped t her bodice. On went a wrought platinum armband, a gold and silver collar about other neck. She strapped a silver and gold anklet about her left ankle and grabbed, from a small cage, a metal turtle which had been previously minding its own business, plodding along in the little container. Finally, before grabbing her maul and a wondrous steel shield, Elda tossed a wide brimmed hat about her head. With the whole ensemble she truly did look the part of a grand adventurer rather than the bland barmaid she had just gotten done being. ""She we go back downstairs?"" Elda asked as she slung a huige bag over her shoulder with her shield hand."

Your greatest allies in this region will be your friendly neighborhood clerics and rangers. These lovable and wondrous people have knowledge of healing and often have the wherewithal to keep a good directional sense and be a sound voice of reason in dangerous and confusing areas of the jungle! Make sure, if you do anything in a combat scenario, that these people are protected above all others to increase the survival of the party as a whole. Remember Rangers and Cleric are YOUR FRIENDS! Furthermore the jungle is home to artificial AND natural traps of all kinds. Having a resident trap finder around is always a good little part of the adventure!""<br/><br/>""Next you will need to know transportation through the jungle lands! Please note that flying is a NoNo in this situation unless it takes place at least three hundred feet below the canopy. Extra movement would agitate the creatures and higher plant beings in the trees above and the jungle would launch seed pods that would home in and attack flying creatures. For this reason, all flying in Cati'n Bru is highly discouraged unless at a suitable altitude. The best methods of transport would be hefty ground units, capable of being ridden and also capable of handling the heat and harsh areas of the jungle. Gigantic lizards and big snakes are recommended and Drakkensteeds are also a useful ally as a mount in this area. Drakkensteeds can fly low and maneuver through vine laden areas.<br/><br/>Finally, remember that you can always jump in with friends! Seldom do many lone adventurers survive Cati'n Bru but, with the power of friendship, most survive! Your chances of survival with good buddies like the ones in my party are significantly higher in Cati'n Bru! Make sure you pack a bedroll and bathe regularly!

Regarding the frequency of posting - as I said before - twice a week is the minimum. This does not count if you have a likely cause and inform me. We all have busy schedules and sometimes work just pops up. We all know that this is just a game, buy that doesn't mean you don't have an engagement and a responsibility to notify the others of your absence so we'll know not to wait for you. It is the polite thing to do.<br/>2. Missing for join battle rolls. I know that every one of as has a life, and we all put it in first place, that is natural. But it is absurd for the whole group to wait for days just for a join battle roll. I'll totally understand if you just write why and approximately for how long you'll be gone. In that regard I'll still count your character active, but we'll not sit around and wait for a roll. So if you are missing and in that time a battle occurs I'll throw join battle for you. Have in mind that if the situation recurs I'll assume your characters uses reflexive charms (surprise breakers, for instance), but not combos.<br/>3. Missing in fight. If so happens that it is your turn in a battle and you are missing for more then a day, I will go on and assume your character guards. This is not so much, because the group is big and imagine if everyone delays with a day or more we'll play a single turn for weeks.<br/>4. Stunts. I give stunt bonuses using pretty much the explanation in the system. If you describe in details your action that is a one dice stunt. Describing an action including somehow use of the terrain, or something in your surrounding to your advantage is a two dice stunt. Have in mind that the length of the description is not a factor. You may write 5 of 50 sentences, that doesn't mean you cant get a two dice stunt in the first case and it doesn't mean you'll get a two dice stunt in the second. The last is tricky, because it's formed on my opinion and that of your teem mates. If a stunt is so good that at least 3 more people and me recognize it as exquisite - you get a three dice stunt.<br/>You can figure that the bonus dice, if any, will be given a short while after your post, so to not waste time you roll without the bonus and after that if I decide that you get a bonus I roll it for you and add successes.<br/>5. Experience. In the end of each scene I'll give you experience from zero to three points. This is because in my experience a session usually consists of 2-4 scene, so in is normal for one scene that you get maximum 3 points.  Being hyperactive doesn't mean you get the maximum points. Each point is given for a particular thing - one for interesting play and a good impersonation of the character; one point for a goal achieved and one point for just being there and participating.<br/><br/>I think that's all, but if I remember something else I'll add it later.<br/>If you have any questions or something is not clear - feel free to ask here or in a PM."

When she enters battle, the mist that surrounds her is pierced by purple and blue vortexes of light in which the silhouettes of thousands serpents swim.<br/><br/>Prelude: From a fisherman's family she spend her childhood, leading calm but unpleasant life. She gathered crabs, sew fishnets, smoked fish, gradually realizing how superior was she in comparison with the local boys and girls. They were  slow, simple, devoid of ambitions...  She could manipulate them easily, she could manipulate even the elders and as soon as she was confident in her abilities, she used it to her benefit to gather money and depart, becoming an imperial's tax-collector scribe's apprentice. With the knowledge that she quickly gathered, she replaced him easily and targeted the tax-collector next.<br/>If it wasn't the trade of house Cynis, she might have never become something more than a bureaucrat, but her superior thought that he was smart enough to steal from the decadents and payed for that with his life. Mariula was next, but instead of being prey she chose to be the predator. With the same stolen parcel she poisoned the assassins sent for her and fled. Cynis Arif, a sorcerer, discovered her location, but gravely underestimated Mariula as an enemy. When he came down from the clouds with his apprentice, she bowed seemingly accepting her fate and then in a blaze of searing light, stuck a needle with lethal venom in his chest.<br/><br/>Life as a Chosen of the Unconquered Sun and Motivation: With her natural talents and what she managed to steal from the dead sorcerer Mariula fled the civilization to seek answers among the less-habitable of the western islands. Discovering a Manse, an air-filled spire 15 feet under the sea, she found out that her initially 'grand' discovery was just the highest point of once magnificent factory-cathedral, sunken in the ocean for centuries. She claimed the place as  'hers' and then went on the next to impossible quest to bring that place somehow to its former glory, or rebuild it elsewhere, never minding the means she was using. Trade with artifacts, piracy, kidnappings, but also deals with several other exalted and gods, some of which remained just partners, but others indeed formed the circle of beings that she trusted. She tried not to gather attention, learning how to strike unseen and never do more damage than what its needed and on several occasions even dared to oppose Cynis again, stealing from another member of the house his most prized belonging - the folding ship ""Divine bliss"", quickly renamed to ""Sea serpent"" and redecorated.<br/><br/>Intimacies:<br/><br/>The young apprentice that fled was the only sentient being, that witnessed from close distance Mariula's exaltation (or so she believed) and she often wondered what he had seen. Did he too catch a glimpse of Sol Invictus himself, or it was an illusion, a shadow of his true and much greater power, visible only to her eyes? Did that experience changed him too... He was still in his adolescence and probably felt fear or hatred towards her, but in fact the Serpentine Witch held no ill intentions towards the young dragon-blooded. She was interested only in what he had seen that day.<br/><br/>Mental:<br/>Intelligence 5<br/>Wits 3<br/>Perception 3<br/><br/>Social:<br/>Charisma:2<br/>Manipulation:5<br/>Appearance:2<br/><br/>Physical:<br/>Dexterity:5<br/>Strength:1<br/>Endurance:1<br/><br/>Abilities:<br/>Occult: 5<br/>Lore: 5<br/>Investigation:3<br/>Craft(wood): 3<br/>M.A: 5(favoured)<br/>Presence:5(favoured)<br/>Resistance:1(favoured)<br/>Sail:1<br/>Linguistics:2(favoured)<br/>Awareness:5(favoured)<br/>Bureaucracy:1<br/>Survival:1<br/><br/>Advantages:<br/>Folding ship: 4<br/>Manse:1(Gem of water walking)<br/>Heartstone bracers:2<br/><br/>Virtues:<br/>Temperance: 3<br/>Compassion:1<br/>Valor:2<br/>Conviction:3<br/><br/>Heart of flint<br/><br/>Willpower:6<br/><br/>Essence:3<br/><br/>Personal Essence:15<br/>Peripheral Essence:36<br/><br/>Health levels: 7<br/><br/>Charms:<br/><br/>Second presence excellency<br/>Majestic radiant presence<br/>Terrestrial circle sorcery<br/>Wood dragon's claw<br/>Flight of the brilliant raptor<br/>Summon elemental<br/>Keel cleaves the sky<br/>Body of bronze<br/>Striking cobra technique<br/>Serpentine evasion<br/>Snake form<br/>Surprise anticipation method<br/><br/>Combos:<br/><br/>Threat-evading method<br/>Serpentine evasion+Surprise anticipation method<br/><br/><br/>Elementals:<br/><br/>Most-diligent miner Thirty-three - A mercury ant called for year and a day to help the Serpent witch in alchemy and craft.

His most important job is to call mists when ""Sea serpent"" needs to cleave the clouds. Mariula often calls cloud people but always for short periods, thinking that otherwise they will know too much of her secrets and probably won't appreciate a whole year far away from their society.<br/><br/>Amenech of the stale waters - The current sobeksis, serving the Serpent Witch. She calls them to cure, help the mercury ant with poisons or even to guard her, but always for short periods, because she doesn't consider killing them as a good choice in the long run.<br/>"

War with the Linowan rarely reached rumor-distance of her village, and for a time, all she knew was peace.  That all changed the day the Dragon-Blooded came with his House banners and his condescensing compassion towards the ""mortals"" of the village.  On his heels came the Linowan, and a perfectly peaceful Haltan village soon became a staging ground for the war.<br/><br/>Kohl discovered a deep well of fury within herself as her playmates were forcibly conscripted or imprisioned as ""suspected sympathizers with the Haltan cause"", her elders questioned for intelligence on Haltan troop movements and the majority of her gender more or less treated as pleasure slaves.  When Kohl finally helped incite rebellion in the village and took up arms to remove the Dragon-Blooded overlord and his Linowan lackeys from power, Luna Exalted her and thus was she once-blessed.<br/><br/>The Silver Pact came in the form of younger Lunars attached to Rain Deathflyer and Silver Python.  Over the course of her ""cubhood"", her caste was fixed and she mentored under an older Full Moon named Blood-Foamed Wave who had been visiting from the West before Kohl caught his eye.  When messages came in that his attention was needed back in the West, Kohl travelled with him to continue her studies and, though she'd never admit it aloud, distance herself somewhat from the atrocities she'd suffered, witnessed and committed in the brief but bloody occupation of her village.<br/><br/>Though her mentorship has long since ended, Kohl lingers in the West.  On some level, it is to delay returning to the war she knows is still raging through her home nation.  But the majority of it is because she sees in the island nations the same corruption, apathy and decadence she has firmly come to believe lies ultimately with the Dragon-Blooded, and she is determined to do what she can before she leaves.<br/><br/>Much like her spirit shape, Kohl prefers speed and stealth to raw strength, striking from the shadows to fade away again once she's wounded or killed her prey.  While this led to lively bets in the first months of her training on whether she'd be fixed as a Full or Changing Moon, the results of her final trials were crystal clear.<br/><br/><strong>Bonus Points</strong>: (15) Attributes 3, Abilities 2, Essence 10<br/><strong>Experience Points</strong>: (20)  Relentless Lunar Fury (10), Ox-Body Technique (10)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">DBT Mutations</span>(7 ) - Fur (1), Tail (1), Claws (1), Fangs (1), Enhanced Hearing (1 ), Chameleon (2)<br/>[/quote]"

It was long ago. Memories of the village are almost fading now, but he would fight to the death to protect it. Still, he knows there is much more in the West beyond his island, and he is set to discover it.<br/>There are other men like him, sailing the waves and hunting something. Few of them are actually hunting the Lintha Family, however. He is. He wouldn't be alive, had a Lunar exaltation not chosen him for his host, but it did, and the Silver pack found him in time before the Family or the Wyld hunt.<br/>After his training and tattooing was complete, he is searching for the Lintha once again. He still believes they are a threat to the whole West direction and it is his duty to destroy them. It is not seen as the most pressing matter in the Silver pack, which limits his influence, but then he is not striving for influence, at least for now.<br/>On the other hand, he is travelling with a Solar. What makes the Golden Seneshals truly envious, however, is the fact that it is his Solar - his solar mate. Of course, he has much more common points with the Swordds of Luna, but he haven't joined any faction - yet.<br/>Her name is Mariula, the Serpentine Witch of the Twilight caste. Travelling with her is proving to be loads of fun so far...<br/><em>Yes, that is Voichin's Solar. We had discussed it already and the GM approved.<br/>(1 XP left to spend)</em>"

green eyes flashed with a thousand worlds unseen and her heart sang for all those undiscovered lands.  Greedy was her mind and idle her hands for the tasks her mother gave her.  She could not hear her father’s commands because all she heard was the roar of the ocean and the beat of her heart for another place.  Each night, despite the locks on her doors and the shutters of her window, she would slip out to the shore.  There would she sing for the lands lost her.  On that shore each night under the moonlight she would mourn a life that had never lived.<br/><br/>On this little island did this girl become a woman.  All those things that a woman needs she was given, but she desired nothing laid before her.  Shells from the blue reaches, pearls paid for by her father’s nets and the attentions of men most acclaimed would not quench her thirst.  Like a drowning man amidst the sea, she begged only for the taste of spring water.  So much did she long for those far away shores that she did the most unthinkable thing of her life.  <br/><br/>She filled a bag with all her shells and pearls, stuff it so that her parents might think it her.  That bag she then threw into the waters, under the same moonlight she had sang so many times before.  There she then cried out her father’s name and hide herself among the rocky alcoves that lined this island.  When her parents came, there was a great commotion as they sought to find her.  They saw only a shape bobbing in the water before it disappeared under the waves.  Her father and her suitors dove under the waves, while she fled from her spot.  On her mind was only one thing and that was to catch the merchant ships of the harbor.<br/><br/>Not all of her precious stones went to the bottom of the water.  Some were set to wet palms and close eyes while she made her way onto the ship.  Such was her craft that none suspected the new worker.  So great her skill of stealth that none knew she rested in the bowels of that ship.  Quietly she existed there, for none could call a life of eating and sleeping much else.  Yet were her tale to end here or even at the destination of this ship, then I would not have a story to tell you.  No instead fate had a different twist for her, a play of irony.<br/><br/>You see her parents now wailed for the loss of their daughter beneath the sea.  The spirits heard of this cruelty and set out to make it so.  Spirits of wind and water fell on this little vessel, tearing it up into the mighty sky and then down below into the black waters.  Wood cracked and sails were abandoned.  Sailors took off in their boats while their ship sank, praying for safe waters to shore.  The depths commanded that she come to meet them just as her parents thought she had before.<br/><br/>Oh but our little woman was not done then either.  The storm was so great that it threw here in the deep places of that ship.  Planks of wood groaned so loud that it nearly made her deaf.  Water seeped into her so quickly she thought it would fill her to the brim.  Yet she did not give up but instead rose to the surface.  Nimble fingers grasped at sturdy and crumbling beams alike, fear propelling her upward into air and water both.  Clutching only a bag of biscuits and water, she leapt from the bowels and into the sky.  <br/><br/>She did not find water when she landed, but rather barrels strapped together.  A raft that the moonlight had sent her, a blessing that not even the spirits of the sea could take.  Oh certainly they tried but she clung to her raft with such fierce determination it cowed even the quick souls of the wind.  So instead they tried to make her wish for the death of the waves.  In the sky the sun beat down upon her brow and the water steamed with flames from beneath its waves.  Her stomach turned against her as it betrayed her hunger and the winds refused to cool her burning skin.  Only at night did the moon grant her relief and each night she would sing her praise to that lovely vision.  <br/><br/>She watched, each night, as the moon came to her in a different shape.  Her eyes red with tears at first, but then red from not having tears any longer.  Each night she would sing a different sing to that vision of the moon, wetting her lips only to keep the purity of her words for that vision to hear.  So long did she sing for that far away creature that she barely noticed the pain any longer.  Only when there was nothing left for her to feel and hope dared leave her body, did she look to the sky to see her precious moon was no more.<br/><br/>Yet even then she did not cry out for mercy.  No, she only sang one more song.  A song not for the life she had lost or the one she had never lived.  Such a song would not have raised an ear of interest from those souls gathered.  No her song was for the moon she would not see again and the waters she would never kiss.  That song she sang on her last mortal day was in mourning for a world she would soon leave behind.  For that night her stage was a raft and her audience the stars above.  On that night she received her final blessing from a Princess and Queen.<br/><br/>For down came her beloved moon.  Down came the Princess of the Heavens and the Queen of the Untamed.  She descended from her throne behind curtains of starry night to touch her hand to the forehead of her minstrel.  Beneath her raft were raised the wings of watery angels that carried her forth.  From the sandy bottoms of the water came their spirit to carry her home and guide her to a destiny she knew had eluded her.

With a caste mark shining brightly upon his brow, he took the pirates apart, killing them all until only a single man was left standing, Fangmaw. The captain taunted him, saying that by the Deathlord's grace he could never die.<br/><br/>'How tragic that will be for you,' The Fisher King replied, then bound the unkillable Pirate in chains, attached an anchor, and dropped him into the deep. Perhaps Fangmaw is down there still, suffering eternally in the cold, dark waters, the release of death forever denied to him.<br/><br/>No longer a simple fisherman, he fell to his knees, face raised to the Unconquered Sun and swore that he would purge the world's seas of those who valued death over life, and would see the Navies of the Silver Prince cast into ruin. Realizing he could not affect such change via force alone, he's thrown in with B. Elsewhere, valuing the playwright's gift of words as a tool to affect change.<br/><br/>It's rumored that The Fisher King owes the Ocean Father 3 boons for service rendered. He's also just recently met the reincarnation of his First Age Lunar Spouse. Based on nightmares that haunt him some nights, he doesn't believe that he treated her so well in the past and strives to make up for his misdeeds, even if he isn't certain he loves the mercurial shape shifter. Secretly, Fisher is embarrassed that he's never learned his letters and is working with Kohl to learn to read.<br/><br/><br/>Motivation: To rid the world's seas of Deathlord influence.<br/><br/>Anima: Waves of golden and white energy billowing about him like seafoam.<br/><br/>Strength: 3     Charisma: 3        Intellegence: 3<br/>Dexterity: 5    Manipulation: 2    Wits:  3<br/>Stamina: 3    Appearance: 2       Perception 3<br/><br/><br/>Favored Skills: (* Caste skills)<br/>*Bureaucracy<br/>*Linguistics 2<br/>*Ride<br/>*Sail 4<br/>*Socialize 3<br/>Melee 5 (+3 Daiclave) (3bp)<br/>Athletics 3<br/>War 3<br/>Presence 3<br/>Performance 3<br/><br/>Unfavored:<br/>Dodge 3<br/>Resistance 2<br/>Integrity 2<br/><br/><br/>Charms:<br/>First Melee Excellency<br/>Dipping Swallow Defense<br/>Solar Counterattack<br/>Bulwark Stance<br/>Five Bulwark Stance<br/>Heavenly Guardian Defense (Conviction Flaw)<br/>First Sail Excellency<br/>Salty Dog Method<br/>Wild Revelry Approach<br/>Ox Body Technique (x1) -1, -2, -2,<br/>Graceful Crane Stance<br/><br/>Backgrounds:<br/><br/>Artifact 2 (Orichalcum Wavecleaver Daiklave)<br/>Artifact 1 (Orichalcum Breastplate) 8L, 6B 4L/B Hardness<br/>Followers 2 (Loyal Band of Marine/Crewman)<br/>Manse 4 (2bp) Seacalm Gemstone<br/>Mentor 3 (3bp) The Ocean Father<br/><br/>Virtues:<br/><br/>Compassion 3<br/>Conviction 2<br/>Temperance 1<br/>Valor 3<br/><br/>Willpower: 6<br/><br/>Virtue Flaw: Red Rage of Compassion<br/><br/>Intimacies:<br/>His Crew  3<br/>Personal Liberty 3<br/>Music 3<br/><br/>Essence: 3 (7 bp)<br/><br/>Personal Essence: 15<br/>Peripheral Essence: 36<br/>Commited Essence: 7<br/><br/>Combat Information:<br/><br/>Dodge DV: 6<br/>Parry DV: 8<br/>Soak: 10L/10B (Breastplate 8L/6B)<br/>Hardness: 4L/4B<br/>Health Levels: 1x-0 3x-1 4x-2 1x I 2x Dying<br/>Attack: Orichalcum Wavecleaver Daiklave; Speed 5, Accuracy 17, Defense +2, Damage 10L, Rate 3<br/><br/>XP: Graceful Crane, War 1-3, Sail 3-4, +1 Daiklave Specialization"

youtful desirablity, with dark chocolate skin smooth as silk and tatooed with purest silver, firm, proud, and round in the bossom and hips, slim in the middle, with a waist that can bounce a jade coin, a grace to make a cat admit to envy, and a voice to make a golden bell weep and an imaculate monk pray at the alter of luna.<br/><br/>Her henpecked father Ori-Manu always did favor his slave concubine Koneko over his only wife, Ibu, for Sable Blossom was a pretty girl with a tender and loving heart, whereas Ibu was a bitter hag who never forgave any of them for Ori-Manu adopting and legitimizing Bast rather than raising the girl for the collar so that Ibu could sell her to a rich man and retire in comfort when at last Oni-Maru sucumbed to the years.<br/><br/>Despite her love for her father and mother, her father's wife's hatred drove Bast at first into a number of defiant fits of thrill seeking, that then gave way to acompanying Great Uncle Kheperu on his adventures into the desert, seeking treasure, robbing tombs, raiding ruins, seeking knowlege, and ultimatly starting up a band of counterbandits with friends and family who grew ever richer off of plunder plundered from plunderers, while thriving with the support of Kheperu's magic.<br/><br/>When wored reached their camp that Ori-Manu had died, Kheperu leaped up in shock and demanded, ""How can this be?  Such potent potions have I regularly delivered to my nephew that he should have another hundred years of prosperity yet to thrive!""<br/><br/>A hundrd silk clad bandits with thrice their number in contented pleasure slaves bore down on the farm of Ori-Manu the day that all he owned was to be sold to a fat narcotics merchant, demanding with one voice that the<br/><br/>last will and testament of Ori-Manu be read and honored.<br/><br/>The merchant had only 5 gaurds and in terror for his life demanded the same, and the will was brought out,<br/><br/>still sealed.  Priest of Ptah was summoned to read, and of Anubis to bear witness these simple words.<br/><br/>""My beloved family and friends.<br/>""I thank you all for sharing my life with me, and apologise that I have only two gifts to give as an<br/><br/>expression of my gratitude.  Kheperu my uncle, I owe you so much, from the assurance that I am not the failure my<br/><br/>father would style a pauper like myself to a true apreciation of the enjoyment of life to the keys to sucess that<br/><br/>I was too poor offer my beloved progeny.  Therefore I hearby will you my most valued possesion, my beloved slave<br/><br/>concubine Sable Blossom, who is not to remove her viel 'til the will is read.""<br/>""My remaining possesions are few.  I hearby will every last one of them to the church of Anubis to cover<br/><br/>my funeral expenses on the soul condition that my wife be offered to me, collared, as a grave good.  Let the<br/><br/>collar bear these words.""<br/><br/>'Wife.  You would not obey me in life.'<br/>'Slave.  Obey me in death.'<br/><br/>""Those are my gifts to you, my friends, neighbors, and most of all, my family.""<br/>Sable Bloosom then removed her robe to kneel before Kheperu, now a beauty to match her own daughter, and<br/><br/>seemingly no older than the day she'd knelt before Ori Manu and said the same words to him thanks to the potions<br/><br/>Ori-Manu had given to her instead.  ""Kheperu, what my master comands me I do with pride, but also with honor and<br/><br/>pleasure.  I pray you, master, accept my submision and be the master of my heart and soul.""<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>Life continued nicely, with Bast's youth extended and heallth preserved by Kheperu's potions.  From time<br/><br/>to time they would raid slave caravans, a dangerous gamble not normaly worth the reward on the accountants ledger,<br/><br/>given that they kept no male slaves, nor any female slave who was unwilling.  Though slave merchants often carried<br/><br/>heavy money chests and a healthy suply of other wares, these rarely made up for the expense of restoring health to<br/><br/>the slaves and leaving them in civilization with enough coin and equipment to start a new life.<br/><br/>Kheperu, however, was a wise old lech, and counciled his men that there were many valuable things in the<br/><br/>Creation, but none more so than good will.  Or, as he was more likely to put it, ""A few silver will spread a<br/><br/>whore's legs.  A buisness will buy you a rich man's daughter.  But the only curency in the world valuable enough<br/><br/>to buy a pretty girl on her knees before you, pledging her eternal loving servitude as she locks the collar around<br/><br/>her own neck, is that girls' own good will.<br/><br/>Kheperu's leacherous proverb proved true time and again, not only in the ever growing number of loving<br/><br/>concubines who woshiped the Hundered Companions, but also in the ever growing shield of protection the comon folk<br/><br/>offered the bandits.  Soon neither constable nor Guild Army could find the Companions anywhere within 50 miles of<br/><br/>their home.<br/><br/>Many of the Companions, having known the smallest, curviest, and most beautiful of their number when she<br/><br/>was too young for love looked on her as a little sister.  As Bast grew in beauty and maturity her uncle and her<br/><br/>mother quietly ensured that Bast had the proper instruction from the concubines and a regular suply of Maiden tea.<br/><br/>Kheperu informed her that he would not marry her to a suitor she refused, or before she was prepared for<br/><br/>marriage.  She simply shook her head and replied, ""No collar's for me, uncle, not for my neck and not for my ring<br/><br/>finger.  My life is racing the wind over moonlit sands.  No man in the world has enough of my good will for that,<br/><br/>and none ever will.  I will not dishonor you, though.  As your promise grants me a lifetime free of the collar, I<br/><br/>promise you I will go to my grave a virgin.""<br/><br/>""My dear, I swear to you, not a man in creation will fail to wheep in his sleep this night.  Nonetheless,<br/><br/>I heard sincere pleasure in your cries as th e concubines instructed you, and so i offer this advise.  Let your<br/><br/>taste for women be known amongst the Companions.  Indulge it, and accept the hospitality of your friend's<br/><br/>concubines with gracious joy.  Eventualy the Companions will despair of you ever developing an eye for men at<br/><br/>all.""<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>One day while raiding a slaver's caravan they found a prize of incalculable worth, a goddess--well, an<br/><br/>elemental--in the chains of a Cynis concubine.<br/>Kheperu's called upon the power that the Prince's of Creation fight to attain, the power of Sorcery<br/><br/>itself, to unlock her collar, then cast off her chains with a bow, ""Oh beauteous divinity, it has been my honor to<br/><br/>do you this service.  I make no claim upon you, stay or go as you wish.  If we have pleased you, I ask only the<br/><br/>boon of a single night to worship your most beautiful body.""<br/>The goddess embraced the old lech and kissed him with great love and much promise.  ""Sorcerer, you shall<br/><br/>have your night.  If I please you, then don your armor again, rally your men, and ride to war.  My sister and five<br/><br/>of our daughters, neices and graudaughters launguish in chains as I did.  Grant them their freedom, and I will be<br/><br/>your loving slave 'til the end of your days.""<br/>Come the morrow, Kheperu, lecher of 111 years, jaded hedonist, regularly known for exhausting five of his<br/><br/>concubines at a time, called forth the captains of the hundred compaions and, with a desperate look on his face,<br/><br/>informed them, ""I...  I won't ask you to come with me, but I must have her!  I care not if her sisters are held in<br/><br/>the darkest depths of the underworld or the greenest seas of hell!  I must have her...""<br/>They laughed, and they slapped their teacher-captain on the back, and they road to war, easily liberating<br/><br/>the first three, but the last three where already held in a Cynis pleasure dome.  Kheperu, the flame duck, Bast,<br/><br/>and three others slipped in by night to rescue them, only to discover upon breaching the inner sanctum that they'd<br/><br/>been trapped and now faced 3 fully prepared dragon blooded and over a dozen Neomah.<br/>Suddenly the normaly sleepy green girl's attitude grew razor sharp with anger as her hair glowed like a<br/><br/>cherry red coal and flickers of golden essence wavered around her body as if she were a candle.  She spoke calmly.<br/><br/>""Where is the child?""<br/>The Cynis sorcerer scoffed.  ""She was useless, years away from any value.  I sold her in the west to men<br/><br/>who had time to train one such as she to their service.  No matter, girl, you are here.  My forces outnumber yours<br/><br/>4 to one.  Submit to my collar and I will permit you a life in the same harem as these three you came here for.""<br/><br/>The flame ducks eyes narrowed and sparks began to fly.  Flames guttered to life on the tips of her<br/><br/>fingers.<br/>""Oh, really now, what do you think you can do to me, Incarnadine?""<br/>She cried out in shocked pain and dropped to her knees.<br/>""Do you think I do not know of you, Incarnadine Waters, the greatest failure the Flame Ducks have ever<br/><br/>known?  It was you who promised Sorsa Endi that with the aid of your flock her brother would be found within a<br/><br/>century.  A century later, with no sign of Sorsa Endi's brother, your draconic patron sent you all away.  It was<br/><br/>your fault.  It was you and your flock who seduced Sorsa Endi and exhausted her reason 'til she accepted a drink<br/><br/>blindly from your hands, Incarnadine, a drink that then put her into a sleep from which she would never wake, and<br/><br/>from which your people would never recover.  Traitor, failure, regicide, whore.""<br/>The wheeping flame duck closed her eyes.  Her tears boiled away the instant they hit the tile.  In the<br/><br/>throes of despair, she cried out, ""Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?  No, this my<br/><br/>hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red.""<br/>Her hands relaxed, fingertips smoking like snuffed out candles, as her tears fell cool upon the tile and<br/><br/>the Neomah quickly overcame the others.  It was only as a panicked Bast slipped her bonds to fight futiely against<br/><br/>a Cynis Harkonen's collar, only when moonlight filled the room and the sound of Harkonen's backhand striking<br/><br/>Bast's cheek cracked through the chamber like a thunderbolt that Incarnadine Water's eyes flickered open at the<br/><br/>site of Bast's eyes wide in desperate pleasing, face bathed in moonlight, chest pressed into the ground, as Jabal<br/><br/>planted a knee into her back and pulled her head back by the hair to collar.  ""Help me.""<br/>Incarnadine's fists cracked shut and burst into flame as she exploded forewards, streaking fire like a<br/><br/>meteor.  When harkonen's scorched and battered corpse lay at the feat of the flaming pyre that was Incarnadine<br/><br/>Waters she slowed down to the point where her motions were visible as more than streaks of flame, and the battle<br/><br/>was on, one flame duck against 20 demons as two dragon blooded fled to call for the Wyld Hunt.<br/>Fifteen minutes later, moonlight lit the riverbank on a moonless night.  Thgouh fire had healed her<br/><br/>wounds, Incarndine waters stopped before their ship, grabbed the hands of Bast and Cinamon Ember, pressed them<br/><br/>into each other, and them crumpled to a ground in a coiled up ball as aconite venom rent her organs apart.  ""Bast,<br/><br/>Steward of Creation, Chosen of Luna, I pray you, take care of my daughter.  Kheperu, I'm sorry to break my oath.<br/><br/>It seems my fate to fail and betray.""<br/>Kheperu growled furiously and cast aside his bag of potions, having already given her all the treatement<br/><br/>for acconite he had.  Instead he snatched the torches away from his men and applied them to her chackra points,<br/><br/>forcing upon her agaonizing regeneration that held her back from the brink of death.  Incarnadine wailed in pain<br/><br/>and a man reached for the torch, but Kheperu snapped the torches away.  ""What are you doing, Kheperu?"" the<br/><br/>Companion demanded.  ""She's past help, this is just prolonging her suffering.""<br/>Kheperu growled, ""This girl is my property and cannot die without my permision!""  The old man shoved the<br/><br/>younger compaion away and pressed a ruby and gold collar into her hand.  ""Bollocks, Incarnadine, our contract is<br/><br/>fulfilled and you are mine now.  If Fate wants you it will have to deal with me.  Now, girl, your promise.""<br/>Even now, fresh blood tainted her lips, and agony creased her beautiful face, but Incarnadine's smile<br/><br/>could outshine the sunrise.  She croacked something wet her lips, then spoke again, ""Cinamon.  I need...  Over<br/><br/>there.""  She gestures feebly and the girl clutching Bast's hand gestured with her free one to light a dry patch of<br/><br/>dock ablaze.  Her mother brushed away the torches, staggered to her feet, stumbled to the patch of flame brushing<br/><br/>away all offer of aid, and then fell to her knees in the pyre.<br/>Flames burned away blood and scar.<br/>Flames seared away dirt and sweat.<br/>Though she shook in agony, the nude beauty had never looked so perfect.<br/>She spread her legs, then, slowly, gracefuly, gingerly, made a formal obeyesence to Kheperu in the old<br/><br/>style before stretching her hands skyward, breasts thrusting high, neck stretching wide.  ""What I swore first out<br/><br/>of nessicity, i now do out of love, and with joy.""  In a single motion she bared her throat to the collar and her<br/><br/>wrists to manacles with perfect poise.  ""I pray you, Kheperu, accept my submision and be the master of my heart<br/><br/>and soul.""<br/>The old sorcerer granted her wish and collared the flame duck, the crouched before her and brushed her<br/><br/>lips with his thumb.  The flame duck smiled, then doubled over in pain, screamed, and coiled into a ball as the<br/><br/>flames spiralled around her, coiled into the sky, and went out.<br/>For a moment in the darkness that followed, all thought that she was dead, but Luna's light brightened<br/><br/>with each of Bast's tears to fall and each prayer to pass Cinamon's lips.<br/>Then they heard the faint, agonised, distorted babble of the elder flame duck fighting her way back to her<br/><br/>knees.  Mud and blood streaked her caliminsite curves, and she lacked the power to even burn the new blood<br/><br/>spatters from her lips, yet she fought to her knees.  ""Master of my heart and soul,' she croaked out.  ""Would that<br/><br/>I were mortal...  And could be...  The least of your grave goods...  I am not worthy of you.""<br/>Kheperu cuffed her.  ""Speak not so of my proprety, girl.  The Bandit King Kheperu owns no treasure one<br/><br/>half so worthy as Incarnadine Waters.""<br/>The flame duck's eyes flashed and burned with love and fury as they looked back at her master.  Her pained<br/><br/>shaking began to subside, but only because her pores were smoking like a guttering candle.  A boiling tear ran<br/><br/>down her cheeks.  ""Yes, Master, this one obeys""<br/>Kheperu nodded, he could see the agony building further within her, internal organs ripping apart over and<br/><br/>over.  But she still lived, obedient to his will.<br/>""Kiss me, girl,"" he comanded, and she obeyed, ministering to his lips with perfect skill and infinite<br/><br/>passion, 'til he thoguht his own heart would explode, 'til he was sure he'd feel her kiss lingering on his lips<br/><br/>'til the end of time.<br/>Gently the old sorcerer pushed the flame duck back and whispered in her ear, ""Incarnadine Waters, my most<br/><br/>precious treasure.  I declare myself satisfied.  Your oath is fulfilled.""<br/>Then she died.<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>The next weeks were a blurr to Bast, Cinamon holding her hand.  Luna kissing her lips.  Cinamon holding a<br/><br/>small black cat in her arms, only she was the small black cat.  Fleeing the Blessed Isle.  The hundred companions<br/><br/>scattering out into small groups for three seasons.  Seven Blessed Oasis's finding her and instructing her in the<br/><br/>arts of the Lunar Exalted.  Her Dreamlover filling her sleep with pleasure and her waking with yearning every time<br/><br/>she sleapt by day.  Cinamon filling her night's with passion but weeping in her arms for her lost daughter and the<br/><br/>certain execution of the man who'd fathered her every time she saw a bald man.<br/>As her education reached it's peek, Seven Blessed Oasis set Bast a challenge to prove beyond all contest<br/><br/>her worth in the Silver Pact and the Thousand Streams river.  Find a manse, claim it, then estalish a fully<br/><br/>functional society there that she could derive benefit from in ways that inherently strengthened the society.<br/>Upon sucessful establishment of the Valley of Three Hearths, a nation consisting largely of refugee slaves<br/><br/>emanciapted by the 100 Companions.  This was a small nation of free men with a citizent army of pallace gaurd<br/><br/>stiffened by militia.  Freeholders, not peasents, they worked for their own profit.  Bast's procedes came in the<br/><br/>form of a sort of property tax, which might also be considered the rental of their portion of the manse.  Other<br/><br/>taxes paid for the running of the goverment.<br/>Religious festivals double as both comunity bonding and an excuse for the holding of games.<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>Witht hat acomplished, Bast's tatoos were augmented and elabrated to represent her deed.  She was then<br/><br/>released from tutalage for a time.  She, Cinamon, and Kheperu traveled to the west in search of Cinamon's lost son<br/><br/>and Bast's dreamlover.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Notes on Bast's small 1,000 Streams River Expirament: The Valley of Three Hearths.<br/><br/>LAWS:<br/>Slavery:  As many of the citizens are emancipated slaves, the Valley deals carefuly with this institution.<br/><br/>There are multiple codes of legal protection pertaining to slaves in this country.<br/>Human Animals:<br/>""By your (criminal actions/dishonorable conduct in war) you have proven yourself less than an<br/><br/>animal.  This court hereby sentences you to slavery in the collar of an animal.<br/>Human Animals may not be killed or sold beyond the valley without permision of the court.<br/><br/>Otherwise they have no rights and no more legal protections than domestic animals.<br/>The worst possible legal punishement in The Valley is to be sentenced to serve 1 to 3 consecutive<br/><br/>years as a dutiful human animal.  (See Death Penalty.)  Every season the owner of a Human Animal must sign a<br/><br/>sweared afidavit that the human animal has been reasonably dutiful, in which case it moves towards Humanity, or<br/><br/>has not, in which case the owner is offered a chance to dispose of the worthless animal.  If the merciful owner<br/><br/>offers the animal another season to prove its use, its sins are ritualy purged with lashes from a kidskin lash and<br/><br/>it is offerd a fresh chance to earn humanity.  If it completes its sentence, the human animals animal collar is<br/><br/>removed.  It enters the lowest levels of the Manse itself and walks from Heathtower to Hearthtower.  First it<br/><br/>claims its Name and recieves cothing and tools.  In the next tower it claims it's Humanity and recieves a bond<br/><br/>bag.  Finaly it claims its and Responsibilities and claims a collar.  (Sometimes various gods or ancestors will<br/><br/>participate in the rebirth trails and try to deny the collar to the criminal, forcing them to ask, wrestle, or<br/><br/>riddle for it in enlightening ways, what ever happens, the human animal must demand the collar to fulfill their<br/><br/>responsibilties or they will never be human again.)<br/>When the human slave emerges, a festival is held in honor of their regaining humanity.  When the<br/><br/>festival is done, the human slave is entitled to submit him or herself to a master of his or her choice to serve<br/><br/>out the rest of their sentence.  If they cannot choose, one of the state gods will claim them.<br/><br/>Citizen Slaves are enbonded for minor crimes or are prisoners of war who fought acording to the<br/><br/>conventions of honrobale conduct.  Though property, and subject to a seperate set of laws from free men, they have<br/><br/>some rights and numerous protections, including protection from being punished without cause, punishment for<br/><br/>another slave's wrongdoing, and corperal punishment who'se marks endure longer than 5 days.  Their master is<br/><br/>required to see to their basic needs and pay them 1/25th a free man's wage, with which they may buy their freedom<br/><br/>for 4 times their price.<br/><br/>Slave Concubines (As Opposed to Contract Concubines)  As a result of southen culture, it is not<br/><br/>uncomon in the valley for women who wish to marry above their station, against their father's will, or for reasons<br/><br/>of personal taste to offer themselves to their beloved as a slave concubine.  They are offeerd the same legal<br/><br/>protections as other Citizen slaves.  Unlike the slavery of the wedding band, this bond cannot be severed with a<br/><br/>simple divorce, and if a slave concubine truly wishes freedom she must assemble at least a resources 3 expense to<br/><br/>buy herself.  Otherwise she reverts to freedom upon their master's death.<br/><br/>The slaves of visitors: Visitors are welcome to bring to their slaves into the valley and leave with them.<br/><br/>They are informed at the border, however, of the following facts:<br/>A.  The Valley has no fujative slave law.  Any person entering the valley as a free person is a<br/><br/>free person in the eyes of the valley.  Any slaves left in the valley after their master has left are salvage of<br/><br/>the state, too be imediatly offered the choice between the trials of emancipation, submission to a master of their<br/><br/>choice, or being claimed by one of the gods of the state.  Unless judged by a magistrait to have been embonded for<br/><br/>translatable capitol crimes in their home land, persons remaining in the state of slave enter the category of<br/><br/>citizen slave by default.<br/>B.  The slaves of visitors are subject to the same legal protections within the valley as any<br/><br/>citizen slave.<br/><br/><br/><br/>RELIGION:<br/>Along with whatever religions the citizents choose to honor, the following religious observances are<br/><br/>requested of all citizents.<br/><br/>The State Gods are:<br/>Verdent Spring Delta, the beuateous young city mother.<br/>Ardent Roar, the Lion at the Gate, the citties guardian.<br/>Grandfater Blade the first soldier to die in defense of the city.<br/>Grandmother Wise the first woman to die of old age in the city.<br/>Bast: Shadow Cat Dancing Betwixt the Silver Moonbeams (City Owner)<br/>: Dreamlover of Bast, revered as the Dreamlover in Sunlit Reverie<br/>Cinamong Ember: beloved spearsister of Bast.<br/>Beloved Horizon: The lost child.<br/>Kheperu the Sage: Uncle of Bast:  Bast's mortal uncle, an aged, acomplished, and leacherous thaumaturge.<br/><br/>Each of these gods is honored with a state sponered festival seasonaly, usaly a comunity meal on the third day of<br/><br/>the week at moonrise and an apropriate ritual, followed by a few hours of time set aside for personaly instigated<br/><br/>comunity events.  Each month also has an all day festival replacing the specific gods day.<br/><br/>On

Of course, it might not be obvious you are doing this, but if it becomes clear, physical combat is not off the map. UMI is usually obvious, and is the analogue of you using mindwashing techniques. Also, for Ihorangi, it always is obvious, when used on him. Expect to Join Battle the first time you use it on him.<br/>No, your character doesn't know why, probably even Mariula doesn't.<br/><br/>Sorry if that comes off as attacking you. I'm just trying to explain why I believe you had a bad idea. Judging by their actions, everybody seems to agree it was. Again, sorry, I'm really not attacking you, but I don't know a better way to point it out.<br/>And I'm not using charms in any case :P!"

It is a very useful thing, but it is not to be used lightly.<strong>It is a hostile reaction and you will bear the consequences of that.</strong>I don't forbid using social combat within the group, because there will be times it will come to this. Lets say for instance that it comes to this that you have to attack Halta. Bast will be in her full right to use all means necessary to stop that from happening. What I'm saying is - if things come to be so important to your PC and are most dear to him/her it will be understandable and OOC we will all accept it. But if you use this to make the smallest of decisions it's just absurd! And as this shows - totally useless.<br/>Second, as I mentioned using social charms is a hostile act. There is a reason to have Join debate. The same reason there is a Join battle. In one tick many things can happen, so please have in mind that next time someone ignores that there will be consequences. This time, because it was a first I'll let it past.

I'm playing for the fun of it, not to lead endless fights amongst my players or to have such tense feelings in the OOC. And I hope you play in the same fashion and share that opinion. We all make difference between Creation and real life. No one will be mad or frustrated if in IC your character acts to deffend his/hers intimacies or motivation. It is understandable.

When the book says that your cast mark burns and will shine through anything placed over it oit measn your not hiding a curning cast mark with a bandana. It dosn't mean that if your inside a building that people can now see you through the walls. That would be stupid.

Each damage rating should have a rate of<br/>damage (known as the “interval”). Arrow Frog Venom and Coral Snake Venom do not have<br/>an interval listed. They should be intervals of 1 tick, and thus listed as Damage 8L/1 tick<br/>and 6L/1 tick.<br/>p. 172 – Mental Defense Value: Dodge MDV is listed as being figured with ((Willpower +<br/>Integrity + pertinent specialty + Essence) ÷ 2) rounded down. In this specific instance,<br/>Willpower is treated as an Attribute for the purposes of Charm bonus maximums.<br/>p. 272-274 – Backgrounds and Experience. The core book rules do not discuss how to raise<br/>a character’s Backgrounds. Storytellers are encouraged to adopt one of two methods for this,<br/>depending upon their personal preferences and what works for their game:<br/>1) Method 1: Backgrounds Cost Experience. Backgrounds may be raised at the<br/>cost of 3 Experience per new dot (similar to the cost of a Specialty). Thus, an<br/>Exalt raising her Allies from 4 dots to 5 dots would pay 3 Experience points.<br/>Storytellers should generally let players recover Experience invested in this<br/>fashion if story circumstances force the character to lose dots in a Background.<br/>Such protection should not be absolute – dumb moves should have<br/>consequences – but players shouldn’t be afraid of permanent losses merely at a<br/>whim, either. Should the story demand that a character gain a Background in<br/>play without having the necessary Experience, she must spend at least half of<br/>all Experience she gains toward this Background until she is no longer in debt.<br/>For example, if Dace raids his own tomb and gains a reaver daiklave, but<br/>doesn’t have 6 Experience points banked, then he would still gain the daiklave<br/>but would need to invest the Experience as soon as possible or lose the daiklave<br/>to story development (perhaps it is stolen by a sneaky Wyld Hunt scout).<br/>2) Method 2: Backgrounds Are Free. Backgrounds do not cost any Experience to<br/>raise, but they may only be raised with the explicit permission of the<br/>Storyteller. The Storyteller may only allow the increase (or loss) of<br/>Backgrounds when dictated by the story of the game. Although Backgrounds<br/>gained under this method are “free” they must still be earned via in-character<br/>play. For Dace to gain his ancient reaver daiklave, he must delve into his tomb,<br/>while building a mercenary unit requires active recruitment and campaigning.<br/>Exalted is copyright White Wolf Publishing * http://www.white-wolf.com/exalted/ (http://www.white-wolf.com/exalted/)<br/>Neither of these procedures is inherently better than the other, so Storytellers are<br/>encouraged to use whichever method proves best for their game. Neither method<br/>obviates the fact that the character must earn the Background in play. One method<br/>simply requires that players invest Experience in Backgrounds just as they do in other<br/>Traits.<br/>p. 356+ – Some equipment items have a listed cost of “-”. This doesn't mean that the items<br/>are actually free, merely that their cost is negligible.<br/>p. 385 – The Cost of Artifacts is in dots of Artifact rating rather than in Resources, unlike<br/>non-Artifact weapons and armor.<br/>Corrections<br/>p. 279 – Farmer/Citizen template Dodge DV should be 1.<br/>p. 279 – Green Troops template Dodge DV should be 2/1.<br/>p. 280 – Elite Soldiers template Dodge DV should be 2/0.<br/>p. 280 – Mortal Hero template Dodge DV should be 4/2.

It has a Parry DV of 2.<br/>p. 296 – Principle of Motion says that the Extra Actions gained via this Charm CAN be<br/>further split into multiple actions. This is wrong – the extra actions gained from this Charm<br/>cannot be used for a flurry. Also, the text says that the actions can be used to dodge/defend;<br/>this was a holdover from first edition, and should be ignored.

I give stunt bonuses using pretty much the explanation in the system. If you describe in details your action that is a one dice stunt. Describing an action including somehow use of the terrain, or something in your surrounding to your advantage is a two dice stunt. Also, using your Motivation raises your stunt level by 1. Have in mind that the length of the description is not a factor. You may write 5 of 50 sentences, that doesn't mean you cant get a two dice stunt in the first case and it doesn't mean you'll get a two dice stunt in the second. The last is tricky, because it's formed on my opinion and that of your teem mates. If a stunt is so good that at least 3 more people and me recognize it as exquisite - you get a three dice stunt.<br/>You can figure that the bonus dice, if any, will be given a short while after your post, so to not waste time you roll without the bonus and after that if I decide that you get a bonus I roll it for you and add successes."

The Coxiens look very much like innocent, rather large, nearly indestructible fleshy pink balls from the outside. Coxiens generally hide inside this innocent-looking shell, which likes to stick to walls and other dark corners and alleyways. However, if one turns the ball over, they will see the underside contains a radula that can slide open to reveal a series of tentacles with wired barbs all with a unique venom that induces mind-numbing poison with the properties of sex-inducing and soothing qualities. The classic approach for these specially bred Coxiens is to allow their would-be victims to walk up to the 'cute' fleshy balls, either in curiosity or determination to destroy whatever odd fungi infection it was. Then, when they were picked up, the tentacles immediately shot out, and as the appendages stopped their victims struggling and moving, the venom was injected to encourage them, and one special appendange could be used to impregnate them. Unlike other bugs, Coxiens are not strong by themselves, and generally bunch together in groups of fleshy balls. One Coxien contains one impregnative appendange, two or three smaller tentacle appendanges for trapping a victim, and around twenty barbs per appendange. A Coxien's size ranges from that of a small marble to that of an hot-air balloon. Coxiens generally thrive on dark and damp conditions, the darker the more efficient the Coxien produced was; they can survive in heat or warmth, being resistant to the elements like all Bugs, but Coxiens produced in warmer conditions aren't quite so vicious or dangerous. Still relatively threatening, mind.</em><br/><br/>[ I had no idea what 'open thinking' allowed, so I'll just use that. ]"

Pathfinders are recon and stealth specialists and excell in fighting bugs but reese isn't going to shoot a woman no matter how screwed up she might be in the head although he will look for a control bug on the back of her neck and he might tie her up at some point opr knock her out.

This is not for impractical reasons however, being manipulative by nature impeccable attire has granted her landscapes of opportunities she is all too keen on exploring further.<br/><br/>Eoa prefers to dress in the finest silks she can get her hands on, and if a range of colors are available will often choose creams, light brown or bronze hues. If the need arises for protection against the cold, to her only the highest quality fur coats are even mentionable. If she needs to travel on horse, acquiring a matching barding, saddle and saddle bags would likely be of top priority.<br/><br/><strong>Focus </strong><br/><br/>Eoa shuns risk of personal injury more than most sorcerers but not for reasons concerning avoiding pain, but more so for evading the need to pay large sums of gold for scar removal. As such she prefers spells which fool, manipulate or directly compel opponents to her own bidding such that they receive whatever necessary wounds battle entails for her. Times where treasure can be plundered without the need for conflict at all, to her are ideal opportunities which only the insane would overlook.<br/><br/><strong>Personality </strong><br/><br/>Engaging, for an elf, extremely so.<br/><br/>Eoa doesn't see others for how cleanly objectives can be shared like other people usually do, but more as psychological curiosities which constantly give her hints on how to manipulate them using their own values if the need arises down the track. Although dramatic demonstrations of evil (Such as torcher, imprisonment, intentional misery) does revolt her to a point she often feels morally compelled to intervene, her sense of good is generally highly self-centered and often rotates around gaining decadent luxuries, magical or mundane.<br/><br/><strong>Background </strong><br/><br/>Born into a family tasked with coordinating the protection of elven villages from drow raids has some-what desensitized Eoa to warfare, the aid of which thankfully thrusted on the shoulders of her brothers more than herself. Nevertheless Eoa does seek to place advantage into elven hands, albeit not seeing to immediate means most other elves treat as their duty.<br/><br/>Instead Eoa thought her talents better placed to search for artifacts she has read in historical scrolls that promise means which may finally tip the un-ending war in elven favour. Tributes for doing so sung in her family's name, and the unending pride of her parents are two things she hungers to see become reality, ideally before any of the increasingly daring drow raids see an end to her proud linage.<br/><br/>[ In a brave effort to improve herself Eoa has cast permanency on herself to grant the following permanent abilities (tongues (1500 XP) arcane sight  (1500), darkvision (1000), see invisibility (1000), read magic (500), totaling 5500 xp ]<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Statistics</strong></div><br/><strong>Strength   </strong>12 (+1)<br/><strong>Dexterity</strong>18 (+4)<br/><strong>Constitution </strong>10 (+0)<br/><strong>Intelligence </strong>18 (+4)<br/><strong>Wisdom  </strong>12 (+1)<br/><strong>*Charisma </strong>31 (+10)<br/><br/>*22 + stat increases at levels 4,8,12 + tiara of charisma + 6 =31<br/><br/><strong>Current Liquid Cash</strong>= 7 gp<br/><strong>Peek Health </strong>= 60 (if assuming max or 45 hit points if assuming 75%)<br/><strong>Speed: </strong>Normal base speed of 30 feet.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Saving Throws</strong></div><br/>(Assuming wearing silks of the Archmagi)<br/><br/><strong>Spell resistance </strong>18<br/><br/><strong>Fort save </strong>= +9<br/><strong>Ref save  </strong>= +13<br/><strong>Will save</strong>= +14*<br/><br/>*Add another +2 when resisting enchantment spells and effects (racial)<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Fighting</strong></div><br/><strong>Initiative </strong>+ 4<br/><strong>Base attack</strong>+7/+2<br/><strong>Armour Class </strong>= 23 (10+ 4 dex + 5 armor (silks) +  + 4 shield (ring))<br/><strong>Flat footed </strong>+19<br/><br/><em>(due to ring -

She adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level. If the paladin accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for that day.<br/>At 5th level, and at every five levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: The Paladin, to a maximum of five times per day at 20th level.<br/>Divine Grace (Su): At 2nd level, a paladin gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws.<br/>Lay on Hands (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin with a Charisma score of 12 or higher can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to her paladin level × her Charisma bonus. A paladin may choose to divide her healing among multiple recipients, and she doesn’t have to use it all at once. Using lay on hands is a standard action.<br/>Alternatively, a paladin can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The paladin decides how many of her daily allotment of points to use as damage after successfully touching an undead creature.<br/>Aura of Courage (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, a paladin is immune to fear (magical or otherwise). Each ally within 10 feet of her gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects.<br/>This ability functions while the paladin is conscious, but not if she is unconscious or dead.<br/>Divine Health (Ex): At 3rd level, a paladin gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.<br/>Turn Undead (Su): When a paladin reaches 4th level, she gains the supernatural ability to turn undead. She may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. She turns undead as a cleric of three levels lower would.<br/>Spells: Beginning at 4th level, a paladin gains the ability to cast a small number of divine spells, which are drawn from the paladin spell list. A paladin must choose and prepare her spells in advance.  Through 3rd level, a paladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, her caster level is one-half her paladin level.<br/>Remove Disease (Sp): At 6th level, a paladin can produce a remove disease effect, as the spell, once per week. She can use this ability one additional time per week for every three levels after 6th (twice per week at 9th, three times at 12th, and so forth).<br/><br/><br/><em>Racial Abilities</em><br/>Strength +20, Dexterity +4, Constitution +14, Intelligence -2, Wisdom -2, Charisma -2<br/>Large size. –1 penalty to Armor Class, –1 penalty on attack rolls, –4 penalty on Hide checks, +4 bonus on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits double those of Medium characters.<br/>Space/Reach: 10 feet/10 feet.<br/>base land speed is 30 feet.  Can fly at twice its base land speed (maximum 120 ft.) with average maneuverability<br/>Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision.<br/>Racial Hit Dice: A troll begins with six levels of giant, which provide 6d10 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +4, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +5, Ref +2, and Will +2.<br/>Racial Skills: A troll’s giant levels give it skill points equal to 9 x (2 + Int modifier, minimum 1). Its class skills are Listen and Spot.<br/>Racial Feats: A troll’s giant levels give it three feats.<br/>+9 natural armor bonus.<br/>Natural Weapons: Claw (1d8) and bite (1d6).  Has two claw attacks and a bite attack, and the claws are the primary natural weapon. If the base creature can use weapons, the half-dragon retains this ability. A half-dragon fighting without weapons uses a claw when making an attack action. When it has a weapon, it usually uses the weapon instead.<br/>Special Attacks: Rend, damage 2d6 + 1-1/2 times Str modifier.<br/>Special Attacks: A breath weapon based on the dragon variety (30-foot cone of fire ), usable once per day. A half-dragon’s breath weapon deals 6d8 points of damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 half-dragon’s racial HD + half-dragon’s Con modifier) reduces damage by half.<br/>Special Qualities: Regeneration 5, scent.  Immunity to sleep and paralysis effects, fire.<br/>Automatic Languages: Giant. Bonus Languages: Common, Orc.<br/>Skills: A half-dragon gains skill points as a dragon and has skill points equal to (6 + Int modifier) x (HD + 3). Do not include Hit Dice from class levels in this calculation—the half-dragon gains dragon skill points only for its racial Hit Dice, and gains the normal amount of skill points for its class levels. Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills, and other skills as cross-class.<br/>Favored Class: Fighter.<br/>Level adjustment +8.<br/>"

She's intelligent and ruthless, often preferring to overkill than under do the job. She has no like for the honor-bound codes of the Paladins and Knights, but will not refuse their help because of the assistance they can provide.

The first and smallest one can contain up to sixty objects of the same general size and shape as an arrow. The second slightly longer compartment holds up to eighteen objects of the same general size and shape as a javelin. The third and longest portion of the case contains as many as six objects of the same general size and shape as a bow (spears, staffs, or the like).

It is constructed of finely tanned leather, and the straps have brass hardware and buckles. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.<br/><br/>While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power in addition. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.

He loves to fight, and thinks that he should fight perhaps just to see what damage he can cause, but at times he's been known to sit and read even. While he feels at home nowhere and constantly wanders, he tends to avoid cities when alone because the crowds there have a habit of upsetting him. When it comes to women, they're about the only thing that he loves almost as much as fighting, and really the comparison isn't even that close. <br/><br/>Back-story: Denzel may be Human. At least he was a Human at birth. But as it stands now, he is a weapon of war. Highly intelligent, ruthless, and existing only to cause destruction and havoc, he latches onto small parties and bands traveling with them with the promise of mayhem keeping him around. With his insatiable appetite for violence, destruction and women; it doesn't take much to rope him into an adventure or to get him to follow along behind a group. <br/><br/>As far as his history goes, all that anyone can say for sure is that Denzel was born somewhere civilized, educated (seemingly well) and left it all behind to traipse about the wilderness slaughtering things. Tales of his name can be heard here and there, some by men who witnessed his exploits, others by men who heard tell. Young dragons with their organs extracted forcibly...scores of Goblins wiped out in fits of thundering rage...Necromancers beaten to death with the shredded off pieces of their own creations...its hard to tell the fact from the myth with Denzel but the truth of the matter is that he's at least extremely skilled and battle hardened. <br/></div>"

Her bright blue eyes are usually concealed behind by her goggles,  golden lenses gripped in thick midnight blue steel wrapped in leather.   Full lips glisten a light red, and are usually found in a soft smile.  Her earlobes each have a pair of silver studs, as well a small golden hoop.  An understated silver stud adorns both the upper rims of her ears, as well as her left nostril.<br/><br/>Her lithe body is gently curved, definately female, though there's little spare fat or muscle on her lean frame. An exquisite, rich green hooded cloak adorns her shoulders, the brooch capped with a small amethyst.  Around her neck is a simple silver chain,  with a sea-blue gem on a pendant that rests on her throat, as well as a sprig of holly and mistletoe.   It almost seems to shiver and flow if you look at it overlong.  A brown leather halter top caresses her b-cup breasts, the tight leather showing the indentation of her pierced nipples.  Her lean stomach is bare, another elegant silver stud piercing her belly button. Her delicate hands are encased in supple gloves of velvet black,  stars seeming to shine in the dark fabric.   A gold band, with small silver spheres within is on her right ring finger .<br/><br/>Upon her waist she wears a thick leather belt, which is covered in cracks and fissures.  A large obsidian buckle fastens it to her.  Several small belt pouches and a sheathed belt dagger are attached to the garment. Her long legs are encased in skin tight, brown leather pants, that ride low on her hips, a slender strip of skin showing between her belt and the pants.   They are matched by brown leather boots with a sensible one inch heel.  She carries an ornately carved wooden staff, with images of various coins and gems carved into the thick oak.   A small,  soft brown leather backpack is carried over her left shoulder.<br/><br/><br/>Brief starting bio,  more to be added:<br/><br/>Serena grew up in a small farming hamlet,  on the edge of an Elven forest.  Always curious (too curious for her own good),  she spent far more time exploring the woods than her parents ever knew about.   At age 14,   she encountered Rascal,  a strangely intelligent raccoon who helped guide her at times....it wasn't for some time that she learned that Rascal was her spirit totem, and that noone else could see him.<br/><br/>Not wanting to settle for the life of a wife on a farmhold, at age 16 she left, and found instruction and companionship with the elves of the woods.  Many happy years did she spend with them,   learning to worship the eternal nature of nature, and the mystical secrets inherent in both the world and the body. Still, all things must come to an end,  and reluctantly  she set out on her own,   her spirit guide leading her to where she was needed..."

You all have heard of this in the Sacred Turtle Tavern and have come to take the treasure for yourself, finding what Cati'n Bru has to give you. This grand jungle is full of surprises and around you are brilliantly lit trees, hollow ones that are glowing with strange growths. They are large enough to hold within them a grand mansion, tall enough to rival even the greatest towers of the capital city of the Empire. These are normal things in Cati'n Bru and now you must all scale them to get to the dragon's treasure horde. Your party is somewhat separated. Upon teleporting to this location Eldamorea, the succubus along with Gaven Liadon and his wolf teleported some thousand feet into the canopy, landing on a tree branch. A hundred feet up or so Serenee, the ranger and her wolf appeared in vines but now have disappeared. Eoa, Jo'Anna and her awakened Dire Bear, Beowulf appeared inside a great hollow Diama Tree but have just dug themselves out to meet with Atreyus. Sinthorn moves about silently and completely hidden in the area, seeking to find the lay of the land.<br/><br/>Far up in the canopy Elda sits with Gaven. To his note of climbing down she shakes her head. ""I can carry perhaps a hundred more ponds of stuff... After that I fall like a stone... My wings can't hold anything past that up."" Eldamorea looks about. ""Well... we don't need to go down now do we? We are in no danger and surely they would wait for us. How about we stay here for a bit. I think we didn't get to know each other very well last night, after all. How about I send the rest a message. No doubt they will need time to get settled anyway."" Elda grabs the metal turtle on her shoulder and looks at it. ""Find the others and tell them we may take a while to get down. Tell them to set up camp."" With that Elda reaches her hand over the edge and drops the metal turtle.<br/><br/>The long, bumpy ride down proves to do no damage to the little turtle though it does make many noises of discontent as it hits several tree branches and at one point hits a larger one that it would bounce off. With that it walks off the edge, finally landing next to the other party upside down. ""Oh fer the love o' Pete!"" It cries out with a heavy Irish style accent. ""Ah Canna believe I work fer that wench! Someone turn me on me stomach!"" The little metal turtle shakes around a bit at this. ""Listen, Ah'll tell ye what ye need to be doin then ye turn me right side up! Master Elda says to set up camp down here. She's way up there and  might take some time te get down. Also I'ma thinkin she may need some private time with his elven highness. Anybody have a piece o' copper a turtle like me might nibble on? I'm a might bit hungry over 'ere!"""

Eoa's mind was exposed to strange glimses of spirituality that was frankly confusing as hell. Her eyes rippled over symbols she didn't understand, powerful but their meaning was something meant only for clerics of her caliber or perhaps monks or others with a mind more disciplined than her own.<br/><br/>Perhaps it was her imagination or it could have been the clerics own mind talking but Eoa could have sworn she heard penny talking to her own mind directly saying casually<br/><br/><em>'Thats why its not a good idea to try and dominate the mind of clerics Eoa, you should be careful what you wish to dominate for goddesses sometimes grant them.'</em><br/><br/>Dreams became more vivid than life and soon colors so bright looking at anything in them began to hurt her eyes. Eoa's own perversions became a sanctuary and soon a waterfall of images of her own longings rushed to her awareness in rapid succession.<br/><br/>Scenes as if imaginings drawn on curtains cascaded her, wave after wave of scenes of realities.<br/>Each were more sexual, more primal... most recent one of horses.  Eoa realized too late she was casting something strange spell between many she knew an aberration. Something similar to the one that changed her breasts but stronger this time more thorough.<br/><br/>Even though Penny had drained them dry Eoa felt her bust fill with milk rapidly and grow even further until they were dominate, heavy ... she felt her own nipples at the point of oosing milk on their own the pressure was so much so .. hard. She desperately wanted the cleric to feed again. More needy this time. More thoroughly this time ... feed ... hard ... Something else was changing, her lust was increasing. God it felt wonderful.<br/><br/>""Oh Penny I need you like I am now I think you have changed me, I need to be one with you ..

""Penny I need you, I think I cast something in my sleep with you and you being a powerful cleric something ... happened""<br/><br/>The sorceress always felt control in her life, always she was the strong one.<br/><br/>Eoa blinked at herself and touched it. It was real, sensations that it was part of her body flooded through her, it was very real and very different. It hard grown from her clit and had grown up under her nighty and pointed towards her own mouth.<br/><br/>The sorceress called a few more times but there wasnt an answer. Perhaps this was a dream she was caught up in being in her aura or something but it felt real. Most likely Penny had just gone outside to see to something.<br/><br/>After a few minutes Eoa stood, pain erupted between her legs, and fell back down to nurse the source of her injury, her thighs had pressed hard against her own ... um balls ?  How much it hurt was incredible, how can these things be so sensitive. Staying here wouldnt do anything.<br/><br/>What if everyone saw her and ran ? Leaving her like this ? She had done similar things to other woman, changed them like this but had never done it to herself ! Well im a sorceress I can just chnage myself back. Eoa closed her eyes and was about to go through the ritual to cast a spell to change herself back to normal but something wasn't right. Concentrating was too hard, and whatever spells was casting in her sleep seemed to have exhausted her.<br/><br/>""Oh my god"" Eoa opened her legs then slowly raised herself conscious now to keep her thighs apart. Her gstring was painfully tight and had currently wedged her new appendages in an akward posture. What posture they should be in though Eoa had no idea of so best tried to work with what she had<br/><br/>The weight felt all different, balance was hard, her normal elven grace didnt seem to help her now. just made her efforts to walk normally seem comical. Pacing about the room for a few moments made a few things clear, men didn't walk like this. Tentatively Eoa cupped her new testicles and brought them forward while closing her thighs then uncupped her hands.<br/>Keeping her thighs together seemed to keep her balls in front and out of trouble, as long as she slid her thigh together and didn't open them they would stay there she reasoned.<br/><br/>Still the weight of her new bust alone made balance complicated enough ..<br/>...

And of course, there is business we might do if you find yourself the owner of such a letter…”<br/><br/>Another part of the city, another tavern. This one a little bit better then the firs and a lot bigger. A beautiful girl sitting on a soft cushion smocking the best concoction in the house. Small blue smoke circles emerge each time she sets her breath only to disappear and be replaced by new ones. Opposite her is a tall man, well dressed and with a malicious look.<br/>“I have a job for you, Blessed Water of Moonlight” he said.<br/>“This much I know, otherwise we wouldn’t be talking. It better be good”.<br/>“O, it’s much more that that! It’s more money that you can imagine!” (OOC:<br/>the sum he names is equal to 3 resource for each of you)<br/>“You have my interest, go on!”<br/>“It is a job that needs much skill and can be very dangerous. We have heard, from a reliable source, that somewhere near Onyx was spotted Cynis Mond, the Windtamer. If you bring him to us alive we will reward you, and all who helped you more then fair.”<br/><br/>The captain looked to the sea. It seamed so peaceful now. But in seconds it could transform and become deadly. Here at the harbour of Halcyon it was calm and beautiful but he knew that they won’t stay here for long. It was a matter of time before something came up and they sailed to the open sea. And that time was up…<br/>At first it was just a smudge in the far of the horizon, than it grew and started to approach him fast. It took seconds for the creature to pass the distance and in a blink it was flying above the ship. It was strange, the captain thought, there was no wind; it suddenly had just vanished. The elemental was in the shape of a bird, but only an outline, empty inside. It was carrying a message and the moment it dropped it at the captain’s feet it fly away. He picked it up and started reading:<br/>“It is time to collect my first favour. Here is a map that will lead you to Seahome. Go there and bring me the Glorious dragonfly-class patrol boat. I know they have one of those amongst the other First Age artifacts they have salvaged. Simple, isn’t it? Just make sure it’s repaired when you bring it to me. You have three months. ”<br/><br/><br/>On the dock there were many ships, loading and unloading. But today there was a strange fuss that slowed the work. Dream Shadow was strolling about, trying to blend in and mind his own business. It was inevitable not to hear all the angry, frustrated, bored or something in between people, complaining of the delays. It was because soon a shipment of first class slaves would arrive and merge with a group that had arrived yesterday. They all belonged to the House Cynis and were to be shipped to the Realm.<br/>“It is such a dread!” the people said.<br/>“If you ask me they deserve the Lintha to get them” someone in the crowd was very agitated by now.<br/>“No one would dare attack these ships. It’s suicide!”<br/>“Yeah, but think of all that money a person could take for the slaves, or as ransom to give them back to the House”.<br/><br/><br/>In an allw aside of the city life to people were meeting.<br/>“Bast, your reputation precides you, and that is why I contacted you. Have in mind that the offer I’m about to make is to be cept in seacret and only sheared with your most trustwhorthy allies. I don’t have to say that if it leeks out there will be concecuinces.”<br/>The woung woman raised an eyebrow and just nodded in understanding.<br/>“An attack against the Fair Folk of the West will take place soon. We need all the help we can get. If you choose to accept this offer you’ll be given more details.”<br/><br/><br/>***<br/><br/>All had gathered to discuss what to do and where to go from here. All five paths were laid…<br/><br/>OOC: These are the possible way to go. I’m assuming the five already told the rest about each offer. Discuss them and together you’ll decide which to take by taking a vote. Let me say that if your motivation to chose one of the five is very strong you can use mental influence to change or persuade the others to chose it. But you take the risks this holds as well.<br/>"

He'd go back inside and hit the buffet because free food was free food, but Elsewhere had... turned the lights on.<br/><br/>Bugger.<br/><br/>With a shrug, he went to the cabin he shared with Kohl, right off the forecastle, and rooted around for a bit before finding the discretionary funds Elsewhere gave him to pay the crew and stock the vessel. Perhaps it was a bit dishonest to use these funds for a night on the town, but Fisher needed to stock his own hold, so to speak. Besides, a bit of healthy carousing at a local pub might turn up some decent information. If Cynis vessels were being stocked for a slave shipment back to the Realm, there were men at the port stocking those vessels.<br/><br/>Honestly, he just wanted to have a good time and have some good food. If he was going to die in the next few days, he wanted to have a good time tonight.<br/><br/>Hitting his favorite tavern like a hurricane, Fisher swept in, grabbed the nearest wench and gave her a firm kiss before bellying up to the bar.

A few members of Fisher's crew, having already heard the song before began to sing along, all the singers affecting a shrill falsetto for the next bit. Fisher even struck a feminine pose, and hand splayed over his chest and one knee turned inward, all maidenly and hilarious.<br/><br/>""I shan't and I can't go along with you<br/>You saucy ramblin' sailor<br/>My parents now they would not agree<br/>And I'm promised to a tailor<br/>But I was all too eager to sample all her charms<br/>A dearest coin to roll in your arms<br/>Well the deal was done, up stairs we went<br/>That's me and the trim-rigged doxy.""<br/><br/>For the next verse, he leapt down and swept a barmaid into his arms, dancing about the crowded room with her and simulating a few cruder motions.<br/><br/>""Well it's all on the bone and let your stays'ls fall<br/>We was yard after yard a boppin'<br/>Me shot-locker empty, it's asleep I fall<br/>Was then that she took to robbin'<br/>She emptied all me pockets of all that I had<br/>She even took the boots from the end of the bed<br/>She even took the golden blade from underneath me head<br/>`That saucy little trim-rigged doxy.""<br/><br/>He gave the barmaid a peck on the cheek and, playing along, the barmaid actually stole his coin purse and dagger, shaking them both to the delight of the assembled, cheering crowd.<br/><br/>""Next mornin' bright I awoke<br/>And I started to roar like thunder<br/>For all of me money now, me gold knife too<br/>She'd bore them away for plunder<br/>'Twas not for me money, nor me gold knife too<br/>For these had value, but to tell you true<br/>To think a little fireball could burn me boxty through<br/>That saucy little trim-rigged doxy<br/>To think a little fireball could burn me boxty through<br/>That saucy little trim-rigged doxy.""<br/><br/>The barmaid, his impromptu doxy, gave Fisher a curtsy and a kiss on the cheek, then turned to walk of, only for the captain to grab a handful of skirt and pull her back, taking back his purse and knife with a wink. ""Thanks love."" The wench gave a cute little pout, then headed off into the invigorated crowd to take orders.<br/><br/>Fisher kicked back into a chair and propped his boots onto a table, enjoying his handiwork. Now this was a party.<br/><br/>(Activating Wild Revelry Approach for no good reason. Aiming to loosen people up and get everyone in the tavern having a good time. Personal essence of course.)"

His gaze slid along the chain to the woman standing behind them.<br/><br/>Honestly, it wasn't slavery itself that Fisher found abhorrent, it was the misuse and abuse of people. A well treated slave could have a rich and full life, just like any freeman. Was this slave comfortable in her submission, or did the collar chafe at her soul?<br/><br/>Sitting up, Fisher slapped the table with a grin, ""So many questions and not a single answer to your query.

It's my sincere pleasure to meet you captain and I'm certain the Serpent is a fine vessel indeed. Myself, I just ferry about a group of entertainers and haven't come close to earning the coin to fund a vessel of my own, but I have dreams. Oh, such dreams. Dreams are the only thing a fisherman has that rival the size of the fish that get away.""<br/><br/>""Not that I intend to let you get away, Zefira,"" he added with a wry smile.<br/><br/>After finishing his dinner and thus properly fueling himself for the grueling encounter to come, Fisher rose to his feet and offered the lady a hand, ""Shall we retire for the evening, my lady? I feel that just spending a few fleeting hours with you will make this poor illiterate fisherman a more sophisticated soul.""<br/><br/>Taking her hand, Fisher escorted and was escorted up to Zefira's room, the attractive but quiet slave in tow. Outside, the wind began to stir as a storm began to blow in from the sea. They faced each other with a smile, needing no words, orders, or any sort of communication to know what was expected and what would be demanded. The Anathema and Dynast came together, kissing one another fiercely as a peal of thunder rattled across the docks. As they began stripping off each others clothing, the wind blew open the room's windows, and extinguished the room's only lamp. Her slave was too busy in the festivities to worry about either wind, rain, or darkness, and none of the participants needed light.<br/><br/>Lightning began to flash across the sky and stab angrily into the earth and sea. Each flash of light illuminating the trio in a different erotic position. Rain sprayed into the open window, mixing with the sweat already gleaming on their bodies, but they didn't care. Fisher in particular felt as though he was trying to guide a ship through dangerous waters in the middle of a storm, and embraced the challenge with the feral sort of gusto he tackled any physical challenge with. While perhaps not as experienced in the arts of love as Zefira, he lacked not for enthusiasm.<br/><br/>By the time the storm broke, so had all three of the lovers. They were laying in the broken remains of Zephira's bed, limbs joyously tangled. Fisher had wrapped his arms around both the smaller women with the Dynast in the middle. All three were gloriously sore, with Fisher's back still oozing blood from someone's raking fingernails. With a languid smile, he nuzzled at Sephira's neck, and murmured with a satisfied rumble to his voice, ""Never before have I be so tempted to join the Realm's navy."" He nipped her ear, then chuckled and shook his head, ""Not that you'd want me. Captaining a boat, that is."""

I can now brig you there, if you choose so. You've got her own hearthstone, and it is from the manse she knows of. I was able to find two secret compartments in the ships. One of them is in her wardrobe, behind the wall, containing mostly her tools. Drugs, poisons and things like that, mostly. The other one is in one of the berths, under the floor tiles. They hide money there - just in case someone happens to take control of the ships. They were planning that against Lintha pirates, though, and not against the likes of you, Sea Witch.

I never saw any nature rolls so i wouldn't know and you all prolly wouldn't have known about the seed pods cause they only exist in Cati'n Bru and Tarth Quorani (Another jungle near Cati'n Bru) To Be honest this setting is not a new one. Cati'n Bru, about a year back on RPOL, was a jungle I made for a similar party. Back then, however, it was called bliss jungle and Elda took no part at all in any of the adventuring. In short most of what happens until the actual adventuring will be a copy of the old game that I barely got out of the tavern with >.> With the exception of ner characters and different circumstances.<br/><br/>Also, you hit the nail on the head, Wyzard. That's EXACTLY the kinda video I was thinking XD<br/>-----<br/><br/><br/>On a COMPLETELY unrelated note I will prolly be gone for at least one day, maybe as long as three. In roughly four hours I am being put under to get all four of my lovely wisdom teeth removed in what I suspect will be a brutal, violent operation with one of the orthodontists being a rampaging tentacle monster....

Well, I'm glad you asked!   He can druid wands without penalty.   Scrolls with druids pells on them he can cast up to caster level 9 without a roll (Which would be up to 5th level spells).  If you need a spell cast up to 7th automatically,  he can do that with his bead of karma activated (Again, at start of day only).   Otherwise, to use a scroll of over 5th level druid spell will suffer a chance that the scroll is wasted/fizzled,  of 10% per level of the spell over what I can normally do...so to use a druid 9 scroll without using my beed of karma would be a 40% chance of poof, nothing happening.<br/><br/>I'll be spending a _bit_ of money on scrolls/wands that I can use on you,  including a special surprise should you die! (No, its' not Reincarnate...its better!),  but my character doesn't really need much if any healing magics for himself,  since he has the ability to turn into forms that can heal themselves...and thus doesn't have much reason to have them.   So....if you want him to use scrolls/wands of druid stuff on you,  feel free to supply them!<br/><br/>Now, for spell coordination purposes:  THere's a spell called Easy Trail that lasts hours per level.   IT's a 2nd level druid spell OR 1st level ranger spell.   Most recent rules are in Spell Compendium page 76, it basically magically creates a trail through whatever underbrush/trackless waste we go through. Y'know, like a jungle.   I'd _like_ to not have to take this spell and dedicate an extend spot to keep it up, and I thought I saw we have a ranger or two....do you folks have level 1 spells that you can use for this?<br/><br/>Endure elements: level 1 spell that just about every spellcasting class gets, including you wizard/sorc/druid types, lasts 24 hours on one person.   I've got enough space in my preferred spells per day to keep it up on myself,  though we should probably try to keep it up on everyone.  That's one that may make sense to just buy wands of if people don't want to use level 1 spell slots...a wand with 50 charges of it costs 750gp.<br/><br/>His main capacity is the ability to turn into many things.   He can't actually do inaminate objects...when he was a 'table', he was actually a Mimic. I have a limited amount of times I can switch each day, but the limit is fairly high. Unlike normal wild shape, I do get the (Ex) abilities of the things I turn into, which includes its racial feats/skill bonuses, as per official wizards Faq.<br/><br/>Things he can turn into: Any creature between sizes tiny and huge that has one of the following types:  Animal, humanoid, giant, monstrous humanoid, fey, vermin, aberration, plant, ooze, elemental, and that has 18 or less HD.  So,  there's tons of wacky special purpose stuff he can do, when you consider the range of stuff that's out there.  His normal spell load and skills will combine to make him extremely stealthy and maneuverable in all terrains.   My usual 'walking about for no other reason' form is War Troll from MMIII, though he conceals the icky troll look under a Hat of Disguise.   War troll gives regeneration 9, with only acid damage doing real damage to him (Which is why I took awawy the acid resistance I was going to give him,  too strong to add that on), 90 ft darkvision,  low light vision, scent,   Spell Resistance 20, and a few decent natural attacks.<br/><br/>"

Scuttling forward swiftly, it's huge penetrating appendage held out, it saw no need to order her legs to be held apart, since they were already doing so of her own will, invitingly. In a brief motion, the Gracoxien moved forward, rubbing it's huge appendage against her sex, brushing against it, with thousands of tiny, purplish barbs, prickling her sensitive flesh and jolting her with a new kind of venom - one that not only made her succumb to the delightful pleasures of her own delight, but as her delight amplified, this new venom caused her to bend to the Gracoxien's will and allow it to communicate with her telepathically. In addition, it caused her constant oppressive pleasure, sort of like having a vibrator throbbing in your sex, except it throbbed in your entire body.<br/><br/>Finally, without delay, the Gracoxien buried it's humongous appendage into her, driving it up her tight walls sensitive with the many orgasms she had, moving the whole thing up till one-quarter of it was in her, yet even with that small of an amount in her, the Gracoxien sensed any more and it would tear her apart, in addition, what was already in there was stretching her to the limit.<br/>It allowed soothing nectar to pour out of it's pores, wetting her thighs and parting it gently, giving her a mixture of light, prickly pain, and extreme pleasure as the Gracoxien wriggled it's massive appendage around her walls, then it started moving back and forth slowly, the friction causing an amazing effect, with the barbs running back and forth along her walls and juices continually sticky her walls to the appendage.<br/><br/>As the Gracoxien did this, a series of tentacles, nearly about five of them, buried themselves into Anna's ass and drove into her tight anal walls all at once. These Coxien tentacles, linked to the Gracoxien itself, ahd the ability to pour the impregnation liquids into her as well, though not as much.

Though their lips were still connected, Maya was no longer returning the kiss, her attention too focused on the invader between her legs.<br/><br/>After just another moment of this, Maya is wracked with a mind-numbing orgasm. She cranes her neck back, forcing their lips apart, and cries out her ecstasy with a loud moan, one that would probably be heard in the hallways outside of her small dormitory. She pulled Zyr Chan's head into the valley of her cleavage as she rode out her climax. ""Oh god,"" she gasped."

Its taste was slightly different now that the woman was sweating slightly but it didn't bother Zyr Chan.<br/><br/>As the orgasm continued Zyr Chan could feel her body responding and felt the egg moving down the tentacle and into her victim, finally it exited her tentacle and entered Maya's womb, impregnating her. Zyr Chan withdrew her tentacle from Maya after the completed impregnation and withdrew it back into her wrist. Suddenly she felt a need to stay with Maya, to watch over her and protect her new child. She realized she would need to keep the human subdued and drugged with pheromones until it was to late for her to do anything about the her impregnation.<br/><br/>Zyr Chan's hands ran down to Maya's ass and were massaging them, even as she continued to lick as the side of Maya's breast."

Growing up in a very strict town, always with rules and regulations. His parents had already decided who he was going to marry by the time he was 5. Was it any wonder how he became a bit wild. he also had a growing fascination with the flame, how he would sit at knights and watch the chaotic dance of the orange tongue of a candle. He grew up with that, and his numerous acts of free spirit, as his only refuge against his parents and the towns rules.<br/><br/>When he was 15 he approached an old hovel at the edge of town near the fields. It was supposed to be the day he met his wife to be for the first time and they would be doted over and said what a cute couple they were and in a fe months time he would be wed. This was his last act of freedom as far as he knew, he set fire to the thing. he packed hay around the base and set it ablaze with his flint and steel he kept with him. As the fire burned he watched, he watched as the wind shifted and blew the fire right into the field. The entire crop was lost, and for his crimes he was exiled from the town. but this was no punishment, only a new beginning.<br/><br/>Xavier traveled for years,  and learned any skill he could be taught. learning well a few things that could earn him income. However he was not the best of fighters, one day after a short job as a cook he was accosted by a band of thugs. Unarmed and unarmoed he was beaten until in a last act of desperation he struck out at one of his attackers. His strike was rewarded by the warm spray of artiel blood on his hand. that one moment awakened something in him. from his hand there was a strange energy, it formed a simple yet effective blade. He spent the next few months perfecting his new found ability and is eager to test it out."

She had been playing at a small tavern, in an even smaller--by Darkon standards--village on the borders of the great land. She had caught a certain wanderlust, and she was determined to explore along the fringes of where she had already been. With the familiar nearby, she hoped to gradually expand her travels to include new and interesting places.<br/><br/>The folk of the tavern had been good to her, and in return for her songs and stories, she had been well fed and had been plied with plenty of gentle drink. Her stomach still burned with red wine as the young gentleman led her away from the tavern's dimming lights. The one thing the tavern did not offer was rooms, and Nishka's new friend had promised her lodging. She was certain that he was trying to bed her, but she had yet to decide what to do about that particular...obstacle.<br/><br/>The mists! She should have seen them rolling in and should have fathomed their meaning. Even though most nights in Darkon were filled with the clingy and damp vapors, Nishka knew to give them both respect and distance. Like a silly girl, she wandered with her admirer through the village streets, until they were fully consumed by the dense fog.<br/><br/><strong>""Henry,""</strong>she murmured.<strong>""We should...get to your home. Fast,""</strong>she warned, her tone conveying deep concern.<br/><br/>He chuckled. ""You're not afraid of...Aaaahhh!"" His scream tore through his previous thought. Nishka couldn't see far in the fog, but the crimson lines that opened the half-elf's belly to the world were easy to recognize. His insides began to spill out, and Nishka screamed in horror as she tried to pry his hand off of hers.<br/><br/>""Please, don't leave...me...like,"" and then his words were cut short by a disgusting crunch as something furred and beastly bit down on his shoulder from behind. It didn't seem to notice or care about Nishka at first, but she knew better than to stay for desert.<br/><br/>Her face contorted into a grimace of pain.<strong>""Sorry, Henry,""</strong>she murmured, before she turned and bolted into the thick fog. The supernatural white would have been enough to make her heart race, but her fear of the beast who now ate her one-time friend was worse. She ran and ran through the mists, the ground growing damp and earthy beneath her feet. At times Nishka could almost feel something chasing her, but the monster never caught up with her if it was indeed hunting the girl.<br/><br/>After some time, she found a road, and as the vapors began to dissipate under the start of a new day, she found that there were new horrors to face. The city of Zeidenberg had seemed familiar from the start, but it had been so long since she had seen it...through much younger eyes. She had thought that maybe it was some place in Darkon she had only visited once...perhaps under the effects of too much alcohol. But slowly the place came back to her, and she understood that the mists had brought her home.<br/><br/><strong>""Barovia,""</strong>she whispered.<strong>""No, you stupid, stupid girl!""</strong>she chided herself angrily.<strong>""How could you let this happen.""</strong>Her head shook with resignation. This was a bad, bad day, and she knew that the night to come would only be worse. For some reason the nights were always so much worse. The monster that had attacked and killed Henry scared her; but this place, her home...it filled her with dread and terror.<br/><br/>She approached the city slowly, not wanting to travel towards it, but not willing to stay in the wilds outside either. Then Nishka spotted the gypsies, and her heart lightened a tiny bit. She had always felt a bonding to them, and at times she had wished that she had been born one of the Vistani; they seemed almost immune to the dark things of this forsaken land. While she would never be welcomed as one of their own, she also appreciated something else they could offer her: guidance.<br/><br/>She altered her course to meet them, instead of the city's gate. On approaching their camp, she mustered a smile, and introduced herself with a bow.<strong>""Greetings, fellow travelers. I am Nishka, a storyteller and artist like many of yourselves. I humbly request to enter your camp. I have some coin to spare, for the pleasure of your company and a bit of your drink.""</strong><br/><br/>She tried not to look desperate, but she could feel a single tear rolling down her cheek in protest.<strong>""The sun,""</strong>she murmured, wiping it away.<strong>""It hurts my eyes,""</strong>she added."

For years the name had frightened the girl...what would have happened to her, had she chosen a different life, and went willingly to his castle, so many years ago. But it's doubtful he would even know who or what she was; he may never have seen her in the first place, and even if he had, surely the man was older now, and his memory would be forgetful.<br/><br/>She fought with the dragon-like creature, beneath the vardo, all thoughts of the Count of Barovia pushed back into the recesses of her brain. On her knees, locked in a struggle for her own survival in the cramped quarters. If Nishka let this thing eat her, there wouldn't be much room for worry over a man she had eluded half a decade ago."

""We have a lot of food, enough for a few days, but we should not stay here long.""<br/><br/>The wind shifted and smoke blew into Calypsa's face for a moment. Fires. A necessary evil. Back home, rampant forest fires were something they all feared and ran from. And now she was creating fire. Feeding it and controlling it. There was a certain power in that. Still the smoke was not a friend to a sensitive nose, and she left her seat in search of cleaner air.<br/><br/>""You can eat if you like and... there is a stream...""

There were buttons at her wrists too, and after she undid those, she pulled her dress up and off her arms and over her head.

Nishka was still wearing her slip, so she started with her legs and arms and hands.

Will she be safe there alone?</em>Calypsa sniffed the air. Nothing. Nishka was upwind of her, her nose was useless. That simply would not do. If danger did threaten her new friend, she wouldn't know about it until it was too late. So she decided it best that Nishka not be left alone.<br/><br/>She began to walk in the direction of the stream, but as she neared the rise just before the running water, her walk turned into a run. As Nishka came into visual range, Calypsa slowed her pace, relieved that she was alright. She watched as Nishka bathed, curiosity getting the better of her. Calypsa now stood just a few paces from the stream and knelt there as she watched. Although she hadn't particularly tried to be quiet, she apparently succeeded in doing just that, as Nishka hadn't yet acknowledged her presence.<br/><br/>Calypsa merely studied the girl as she had at other times, with her head cocked to one side, as canines sometimes do. Only this time the girl was completely bare and unshielded from her gaze. Calypsa was oblivious to the concept of privacy. It was not something that entered the wolf-girl's mind even now, as Nishka's hands rubbed here and there, cleaning as they went. Calypsa's eyes followed wherever the roaming hands went, only stopping occasionally to linger. Especially captivating were the spots that ran the length of her body which Calypsa thought were absolutely beautiful. On her home world, there was an animal her ""people"" had often admired; they had no name for this creature, but it was respected by all of her kind. It had spots that appeared very similar to the ones decorating Nishka's body. The amazement didn't stop there, however, as Calypsa's eyes stumbled on to something she recognized right away as a... tail.<em>Nishka has a tail? What does that mean? Why does she keep it that way? Why does she hide... </em><br/><br/>For a moment, Calypsa couldn't fathom why someone would do such a thing to such an integral part of their body. How would she feel to have her own tail bound in such a way. It would be absolutely awful! Why, it must be like being trapped. She definitely knew that feeling. Surely, one would choose freedom over... this. But maybe that wasn't possible for Nishka as it was in Calypsa's case. She had met many humans who had not embraced her in her true form. She had been beaten, shot at, screamed at, ran from; was it the same for Nishka? Calypsa gazed at the naked girl's face, searching for her eyes, this time feeling more of a connection with her, even if it was only imagined. So distracted by her own thoughts was she, that she did not hear the movement in the bushes.<br/><br/>As Nishka moved to redress herself, Calypsa's silent contemplation came to an end.<strong>""Do they hate you, too? Is that why you... hide?""</strong>Calypsa looked at her friend with such intensity, seeking a connection with the other girl. Was she really not alone in her torment?<br/><br/>"

Right now, I'd be more inclined to call your character irrelevant. He can't communicate with us so you can't RP, we can't see him so all our area attacks can't be aimed to miss him, we can't see him so other melee characters are going to run into him. Your sheet is so sketchy I wouldn't consider it complete but I'm looking at that HP total, you'd make a good tank. That's a skill we can't take advantage of since presumably foes have no better skill at seeing you than we. Conversely your damage is weak.<br/><br/>So I wouldn't say your character is a problem.

The remains of a dark and majestic castle. After a year’s worth of work they had unearthed it enough to explore. Upon opening the doors they were met by a single soul. A young woman no older than her 20’s who possessed a strange aura. They had no way of knowing it but she was a lesser demon who had been imprisoned in the castle to wait until she was set free by the one who would rule at her side in the new kingdom they would forge. She quickly slew all but one of the men who had entered the castle saying unto him “You will be my king”  and thus the kingdom of Belka was first brought into the world. The demon promised power and protection to any who would follow her, and worship her for it was from this worship that she gained her powers. Many of the settlement’s population could not resist the temptation, those few noble souls who did found themselves beset by the demon’s restored power. Slowly and painfully transforming into brutish, un-aging mutations of their former selves unable to do anything but follow the orders of their ‘queen’ it was their newfound strength upon which the city itself was rebuilt, to fit the new image of its rulers and it is by their labor that the kingdom’s many forges burn day and night. After 90 years both the King and Queen seem to have not aged a day, and the populace has entered a cast system. With the lowest rung occupied by the ones who originally chose not to follow the queen and king, their offspring, and any poor souls who have for whatever reason suffered mutation, above them are the craftsmen and merchants, then general soldiery, next the nobility, followed by the military's high command, and finally the Queen the King. The placement of the military's commanders over the nobles was a decision made by King Harkonon himself. His reasoning being that the military was always going to play a bigger part in maintaining the security of Belka then the Nobles ever would. As well as the fact that he was far less likely to be stabbed in the back by an old general than a young Nobel. This has led to a strong military tradition in almost all of Belka’s upper ranks, with each Nobel house attempting to gain stature by advancing the military ranks. As a result of this the Nobel’s hold very little if any real political power unable to co-operate with one another and more set on gaining individual power. Leading to a distinct lack of dissent against the King simply because there is no one with enough power to voice any complaints who has not already passed the point of no return with regards to serving the King. It has also fostered a culture of military idealism, with most if not all Belkan’s seeing their military as the most honorable of all professions. In addition to all this a cult has sprung up dedicating itself to worshiping the “Demon Queen of Belka”, as they call her.<br/><br/><br/>The kingdom itself is small, due both to its small population, which no matter how many ‘re-population drives’ are held will still take many years to truly grow from the size of a single city, and by the fact that the queen’s powers only extend a short way’s past the canyon. She simply does not have enough people worshiping her to extend her power any further. And she along with the king and the elite guard are the only ones with access to any real magical items. To make up for this every member of the military is trained to the best possible level, and equipped with the strongest armor and weapons that Belka’s forges can manufacture.<br/><br/>As a whole the people of Belka are a suspicious and wary lot, knowing that the practices they keep would most likely not go over well with those outside the kingdom, and also knowing that their small size could make them a potential target they are always on the watch for the day when they will be forced to defend themselves. They take a very bleak view of life seeing it not so much as a precious commodity but simply a circumstance of existence. With a firm belief in the afterlife they do not fear death, nor do they have any qualms about causing the deaths of others<br/><br/><br/><strong>Resource Situation</strong>: Belka for all its changes is still sitting on a very rich ore deposit, as a result they are capable of producing more metal than they would ever need in a single year, even on a full war footing they would have quite the surplus. In addition to this they are constantly quarrying the walls of the canyon for stone. This means that they are able to export both the luxury of metal made goods and the necessity of stone building supplies. But this blessing is also a curse, the very forges that provide for them also take away. The land has become barren and dark as a result of the constant ash blown into the air. As a result of their lack of plant life and people with any supernatural healing abilities. They are constantly attempting to import both food, and medicines that they cannot derive from plants or the modest amounts of livestock able to survive in Belka.<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Goods In surplus: </strong> </span><br/><br/><br/>Gold<br/><br/><br/>Silver<br/><br/><br/>Bronze<br/><br/><br/>Metal Tools<br/><br/><br/>Metal Weapons<br/><br/><br/>Metal Armor<br/><br/><br/>Stone Masonry equipment<br/><br/><br/>Stone for building<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Goods in Shortage</strong></span><br/><br/><br/>Foodstuffs<br/><br/><br/>Wood<br/><br/><br/>Livestock (Chickens, Cattle, Oxen)<br/><br/><br/>Manpower<br/><br/><br/>Medicines derrived from plants<br/><br/><br/>Medicines derrived from magic<br/><br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>The City of Belka</strong></span></span><br/><br/>(http://www.24oranges.nl/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/project_indigo_2.jpg)<br/>It is a dark and mournful place its sky filled in equal measure with the grunts and moans of the laboring slave beasts, the din of a hundred forges, and the chanting of an untold number of cultists worshiping their fell deity. The earth has become a wasteland, warped by the pollution of the forges, and the demonic influences of the Queen. Natural wildlife is non-existent, having been slowly warped, mutated, and corrupted by the very demon that the people worship. In it’s place have arrived many subspecies of demonic creatures and fiends, some capable of thought, others little more than wild beasts. They provide no food source to the people, for fear that their flesh will induce horrific mutation in its consumer, thus placing them on the bottom rung of Belkan society forever.<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Notable Belkan Structures. </strong> </span> </span><br/><br/><br/><strong>The Castle</strong><br/><br/>(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w38/Zelda_Rider/dark_castle.jpg)<br/><br/>Known to its people simply as the Castle, King Harkonen and his Queen’s residence houses himself, his dark bride, and the majority of Belka’s military when it is not out on patrol or training to further its readiness.  The castle also houses within its darkest depths The Demon Gate. This to, Belka’s knowledge, is the only passage way from the infernal demon lands to those of man.<br/><br/><strong>The Great Gate: </strong><br/><br/>(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8601/thegatebywoodhurst1.jpg)<br/>Belka’s primary defensive structure The Great Gate spans the entire with of the mouth of the canyon. When closed there is no practical way for an army to enter Belka other than taking the gate. With this in mind extreme effort has been taken to insure that this never occurs. Armed with the best artillery that Belka can create. Each wall, each stone has been placed to give a defensive advantage it is as close to being a perfect defensive wall as it will ever be.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">Belkan Royalty:</span></strong></span><br/>Each member of the Belkan royal family is constantly escorted by their protector, the only one allowed to approach them in person. With the exception of various Generals who are allowed only in the presence of The King and The Crown Prince.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>The King: </strong> </span><br/><br/>(http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/a/ac/Warrior_Silver_Eagle_armor_m.jpg)<br/><br/>Once known as Leland Harkonen, now King Harkonen is a strong willed man, it was he who originally founded Belka back when it was simply a mining town, intent on making his fortune through the mines. When things didn’t turn out as well as he had thought he began to lose hope of ever having any real power. It was then that they discovered the castle and his whole life changed. Now having been equally responsible for the raising of his kingdom he knows that tough times are likely to be ahead but has no fear that if played right the situation could easily be turned to his nation’s advantage, he won’t see his chance at greatness stripped away from him. On a personal note he has been known enjoy all the pleasures of the flesh, whether they be as simple as refined as an artistic masterpiece, a beautiful piece of music, or more carnal in nature. He has been known to enjoy the company of any woman who catches his eye, in addition to The Queen.  He is rarely seen by the public outside of his armor. Simply because he prefers to put up an image of being the invincible military protector in an effort to keep his people’s faith.<br/><br/>Military Skills: With an impressive body, and a keen mind few can match King Harkonen on the battlefield. He wields a large two handed sword in battle, with the ease and speed that a normal man would use a short sword. His other hand kept free to grab hold of his enemy or any weapon of opportunity.<br/><br/>Fighting: 2<br/><br/>Tactics: 1<br/><br/>Stratagey: 3<br/><br/>Magical Skills:<br/><br/>None<br/><br/><strong>Ruby: </strong><br/><br/>(http://pages.infinit.net/creator/Ivy.jpg)<br/>Born into a noble family Ruby was selected at the age of 16 for the simple reason that her body was appealing to the King’s eye. King Harkonen secure with the knowledge that he is protected by his Queen’s power, the demon possessing his own armor, and his on martial skills. Has no fear of assassination, and as such he has been known to select his protectors on a whim. He has also been known to go through them much faster than either the Queen or the Prince. Ruby herself is as capable at the magic arts as she is at physical combat. She takes her job seriously, in every aspect even that means that many of her duties are carried out within the confines of the King’s quarters.<br/><br/>Military Skills:  Ivy is well trained in the use of her body as a tool for the King, she fights with quick agile fluid movements, while using her demon possessed whip to both wound her enemy and restrict their movements.<br/><br/>Fighting: 3<br/><br/>Tactics: None<br/><br/>Stratagy: None<br/><br/>Magical Skills: Ivy’s abilities focus on crippling her enemies, and allowing her to make the easy kill, or the easy escape for King Harkonen<br/><br/>Elemental: 1<br/>Chained Light: With a bit of focus Ivy is able to steal the light from her opponent’s eyes trapping them in a total darkness. As long as she keeps focused on them and they do not stray too far she can keep them in such a state. She is able to cast this spell on more than one person at a time, but it obviously requires more concentration, and more of her own energy.<br/><br/>Charms: 2<br/>Born beautiful Ivy has a strange charm about her, she has know this since she was a child, it was this natural magic ability that first brought her to the attention of her superiors and singled her out for protector training. Over the years she has perfected this ability and is able to make herself seem to be amazingly beautiful to any man, woman, or beast. She is not above using this ability to achieve her own ends, weather they be giving an opponent pause in the middle of battle, or keeping the Kings eyes on her and wanting more, and thus keeping her securely in her station as his guard.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>The Queen: </strong> </span><br/><br/>(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p294/krunk357/dark/DarkElf-050901.jpg)<br/><br/>The Dark Queen, The Goddess, Demon in her life she has gone by these and many other names, though to those who she holds dear she is simply know as Sapphire. A creature of pure indulgence she exists forever tied to her King until his death, then she searches out a new King and follows the same pattern. She had waited many years to finally be free of her prison, and as it was decreed she now serves the strongest of those who freed her. She is a creature attracted to one thing and one thing only…power. She has no fear and no moral qualms she will do anything to further her goals which at this point are the preservation of Leland and the realization of his desires. It is not by choice that she does these things, rather by need it is what she was born to be and she revels in it. Her personality can be summed up in the one tenant that she handed down to her ‘faith’ “Thou Shalt Be Strong”<br/>Military skill:<br/>Sapphire is a powerful combatant in her own right, possessing all the unnatural strength and speed of a demon. She is fully capable of holding her own in close combat. This having been said she is still a demon and subject to the fickle whims that are a staple of her kind. Meaning that she lacks an eye for both strategy and tactics, never thinking far enough ahead while in the heat of battle. She is known to wield a large halberd in battle which crackles with her own dark powers.<br/>Fighting: 3<br/>Tactics: none<br/>Strategy: none<br/>Magic Skills:<br/><br/>Elemental: 1<br/>Immolation: Sapphire possesses the ability to set aflame anything that she chooses to, from a simple pile of underbrush to a skilled assassin, she need only focus her full gaze upon it. This takes time though as the object or person’s temperature must rise high enough to spark a flame. Moving targets also take additional time due to the added difficulty the Queen has keeping them directly in her sight.<br/><br/>Summoning: 2<br/>Alpha Demon: With a great amount of focus and power Sapphire can tear a hole in the fabric dividing our world from that of her own kind. Calling fourth a single alpha demon, a creature of great size and strength many times the size of a full grown man. It knows nothing but the commands of the one who has called it fourth. Capable of single handedly defeating immense amounts of opponents. This does not come without cost, namely that of life. The gate must first be opened within the body of a living being. The demon then possesses its host, warping their body to fit its needs, until the host ceases to exist and there is only the demon. The stronger the host, the strong the demon that will arise from it. This ability drains massive amounts of The Queen’s energy and she is not likely to be able to do much more than order the demon that she summons.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Thrasos: </strong><br/><br/>(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3397/bloodmoonmonkbyhideyosh.jpg)<br/>The protector charged with the defense of The Holy Queen. Thrasos is also the high priest of The Queen’s cult. He believes her to be a divine deity and will do anything in her service. He was selected at the age of 12 from the cult’s clergy. His faith was deemed strong enough to warrant the necessary training despite the fact that his potential for magic was not as high as would have been ideal. He has faithfully served for the past 70 years yet still possess the body he did when he was in peek physical form at the age of 23. His weapon of choice is a large sickle named “The Man-reaper” that is said to drain the soul of any it kills, and use it to add to Thrasos’s power.<br/>Fighting: 3<br/>Tactics: Adept<br/>Strategy: none<br/><br/>Magic Skills:<br/>Elemental 3<br/>Fissure: By driving “The Man-reaper” into the ground and using it as a focusing rod for his modest powers Thrasos can create instability in the ground, the result of which is a very localized very miniature earth quake ending in a fissure opening in the ground in the direction of Thrasos’s desire. He has been known to use this both as an offensive weapon. Sending any out of his reach falling to their death. Or defensively creating a crack in the ground so as to cut off a pursuer’s path.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>The Prince: </strong> </span><br/><br/>(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs45/f/2009/080/0/8/Dark_Elf_male_by_kerembeyit.jpg)<br/><br/>He is Horus, son of Leland and Sapphire, and The Crown Prince of Belka, he inherited his mother’s unworldly looks and his father’s will and enjoyment of his every desire. He is cold blooded and efficient, ready to make a name for himself. At the age of 23 years he now serves as his father’s second in command on all things military and will soon serve as Belka’s ambassador to the outside world.<br/>Military Skills:<br/>Fighting: 2<br/><br/>Tactics: 3<br/><br/>Strategy: 1<br/><br/>Magic Skill: none<br/><strong>Moira:</strong><br/><br/>(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1378/slaaneshofzealots1.jpg)<br/>Horus’s protector she is now 18 years of age, her skin has been permanently died in order to liken her to the crown prince and present a unified front to those from outside the kingdom. Having been taken from her family before she had even ceased nursing Moira knows nothing of her previous family. She has been subjective to numerous ‘education’ regimens and as a result is a near fanatical believer in the preservation of Belka and its people. She has also at the request of the Prince been trained in the art of singing and other more physical forms of entertainment for the Prince if he desires it. Even in infancy the aura of magic was strong with Moira, as such she was a natural candidate for being a protector. Armed with a single dagger knife she relies primarily on her magical powers to protect The Crown Prince. And her blade to silently eliminate any who he desires.<br/><br/>Military skills<br/><br/>Fighting: 2.<br/>Tactics: capable<br/>Strategy: None<br/><br/>Magic skills:<br/>Elemental: 2<br/>Wall of fire: Moira is capable of creating a wall of fire close to her person,  she uses this to help protect the prince and herself when under attack. Either shielding their backs from approach, or by placing it in the path of incoming arrows, the fire burning hot enough to destroy them before they can get through to their target.<br/><br/>Ice Heart: Moira can turn your blood to ice…literally. Freezing her target’s internal organs and causing near instant death. It is much harder for her to do this against someone who has anything more than the most basic defense against magic.<br/>Chain lightning: Able to launch bolts of lightning from her fingertips Moira has been known to ‘fry’ more than the occasional opponent. After connecting with her intended target each bolt has a tendency to break off and strike the nearest creature, at a somewhat lower level of strength than it struck the one before, until  its power is spent.  She is able to control the amount of strength that travels through each bolt, enabling her to either stun, or kill her opponent. She has been trained not to use this ability at anything but mid to long range for fear that she, or the one she protects would be struck by a refracting bolt.<br/><br/>Instilling: 2<br/>Thunder Blade: In addition to her knife Moira can call forth a single magical weapon, little more than raw electrical power she is able to shape it into any weapon she needs from a sword, to a shield, to a spear with but a single thought. She is unable to use any of her other powers when using this weapon as it takes the full extent of her powers to keep the electricity under any semblance of control.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Belkan Military Forces. </strong> </span> </span><br/><br/>Belka’s military is divided into two branches. The human legions who comprise the majority of the army, and the demon auxiliaries.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Human Legion:</strong></span><br/><br/>The human legion is a well organized fighting force broken down into a single main army, and two levels of reserve components. The main force is an army of full time carrier solders tasked with defending Belka at all times, it is a conscript army, with every family expected to contribute their first born child. These children are trained almost from birth to fight and if need be die for the crown. They are Belka’s primary fighting force. Should it be deemed necessary the first auxiliary will be called upon. These are the clergymen and women of Belka’s church, they lack the military training of the active forces but make up for it with intense zeal and a willingness to follow any order…even a divisionary suicide charge. Because of this they are commonly referred to by the professional troops as the “cultist reserve”  In the most dire of times, when it seems that all may be lost the third reserves are called to the fight. They are comprised of the lower ranking common citizens of Belka as well as the mutated labor forces, lacking any training what so ever their strategic role can be summed up in two words “cannon fodder.”<br/><br/><strong>Belkan Infantry:</strong><br/><br/>(http://www.knowledge-meta.com/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_122/Evil$20Knight.jpg)<br/><br/>The average Belkan solder is well trained in his role as an infantryman. This is a necessity due to their small numbers. Each solder goes to battle confidant that he is clad in full armor befitting a knight and armed with the best weapons that Belka’s forges can manufacture. And that as long as they are within their own lands they have the protection of their Queen’s magic watching over them.  They fear no enemy.<br/><br/><strong>Beast Riders:</strong><br/><br/>(http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/mtgcom/arcana1000/1296_knight.jpg)<br/><br/>Mounted on the twisted descendants remains of Belka’s original horse population, these are the cavalry of Belka, trained to attack fast, hard, and deliver only killing blows. They believe themselves to be the proverbial cream of the crop loving the rush of battle, it is said that even their mounts share this sentiment, their mutated senses and minds knowing no fear.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Nobles and Officers:</strong><br/><br/>(http://www.black-knights-kill.com/files/images/black_knight_art/full_size_black_knight_art/black_knight_battle.jpg)<br/><br/>These are the front line leaders of Belka’s forces every one either a Noble or former common solder. They are highly motivated to excel in their posts due to the fact that the only upward mobility one can truly expect is gained through the military ranks. Their equipment varies usually having been family heirlooms used by the warriors of their family for years. They possess weapons and armor that have been infused with the essence of a demon, providing their users with great martial skills.<br/><br/><strong>Siege weapons:</strong><br/><br/>The siege weapons of Belka are made entirely of metal, firing metal spheres rather than stones, they can take quite a beating before being destroyed.<br/><br/><br/><strong>High Protectors</strong><br/><br/>(http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa220/gothdeath904/Anime/Dark_Elf_900.jpg)<br/><br/>There a never more than 3 of these in existence at one time, one for each member of the royal family they serve as the family’s direct protectors, having been chosen from only the most promising of Belka’s young men and women they have each undergone many sessions with The Queen, undergoing many protective spells, demonic pacts, and learning to use what magic they can. They along with the Queen represent the only magic power in Belka. Which they wield with a skill that few can ever hope to match. They are the royal bodyguards.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Demon Auxiliary</strong></span><br/><br/><br/>Due to their inherently unstable nature, as well as the difficulty in training them the demon auxiliaries are few in number, at full strength they only make up a single company. Every one of them varied in form, and function each demon is its own work of grotesque art, bearing little if anything in common with its kin. Those demons used in the auxiliary are grouped simply by what military purpose they can serve. Whatever their specific duties they still all have one thing in common they are shock troops, used to spearhead an assault, break an enemy’s best troops’ moral or simply spread fear in the ranks of any who would oppose them.<br/><br/><strong>Demon Hounds</strong><br/><br/>(http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/62976/ModelSheet_ChaosHound_qjpreviewth.jpg)<br/><br/>The generic term given to the feral Demons used in Belka’s auxiliary forces they are kept chained and led into battle released when the enemy is within sight, they are unthinking unfeeling creatures, who know nothing but the instinct to kill.<br/><br/><strong>Lesser Demons</strong><br/><br/>(http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/6598/warpdemonsbycaptvovan1.jpg)<br/><br/>They make up the majority of demons within the auxiliary, not as fast as those demons in the hound groups, nor as powerful as the greater demons they possess enough intelligence to follow basic orders, such as “attack there” and “stay here.”<br/><br/><br/><strong>Greater Demons:</strong><br/>(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7320/daemonettesbytentailedc.jpg)<br/><br/>Possessing more intelligence and bruit power than other demons these creatures are a rarity amongst their kind. They death incarnate for any who oppose them, by far the smallest portion of the auxiliary they are always in the thickest of the battle.<br/><br/><strong>Cultist Reserve: </strong><br/>(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/705/nl0408011.jpg)<br/>Mad with faith these men and women are willing to die at the word from their Demon Queen. Their faith and zeal meant to make up for their lack of skills.<br/><br/><strong>Mutant Reserve: </strong><br/>(http://www.freakygaming.com/gallery/game_art/warhammer:_mark_of_chaos/assassin.jpg)<br/><br/>The last resort in the event that Belka will soon fall, little more than a mob, if they are ever called upon it is a sure sign that all stops are being pulled.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Military Summary: </strong> </span><br/>The Belkan military is small in size but big in skill and spirit. They possess a good mix of heavy hitting infantry supported by fast cavalry, as well as very small numbers of extremely dangerous troops and strong siege weapons. If they can be said to have a weakness it is the fact that due to the non-existence of wood in their homeland they lack archers entirely. And as such cannot expect ranged support when the enemy is bearing close on them. Nor can they easily chase off the archers of their enemies without either tiring out the infantry. Or committing their fast attack forces which could be better placed on the enemy’s flank.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>Strengths: </strong> </span><br/>Well protected and powerful warriors<br/>Well trained professional soldiers<br/>Strong siege weapons<br/>Fear inspiring shock troops<br/>Strong defensive fortification<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>Weaknesses:</strong></span><br/>Lesser numbers even when full reserves are deployed<br/>Totally lacking archers<br/>Small numbers of shock troops means that their elites can only be committed to one area at a time.<br/>Lacking in any forms of magic that do not directly affect their own armor and weapons.<br/>Even this magic is VERY limited and almost exclusive to those in the upper ranks.<br/>"

An ambidextrous character ignores this penalty and can freely use either hand for Dexterity-related actions without penalty. In close combat, an ambidextrous character wielding a melee or one-handed martial arts weapon can shift his weapon from one hand to the other freely with a single success on a [Dexterity + (Martial Arts or Melee)] roll. Doing so counts as an action but reduces the Parry DV of the target of the character’s next attack by two, provided that the two combatants are already in close combat.<br/><br/>TRUE LOVE<br/>Cost: 4 pts. (5 pts. for Abyssal Exalted)<br/>Availability: Compassion 3+<br/>Your character has a deep and abiding romantic relationship with another character (which may be a player’s character or a Storyteller character). The object of the character’s affection must be someone for whom he has an Intimacy, but she need  not possess a reciprocal Intimacy for the character. Even true love can be unrequited. This Merit effectively raises the  character’s Intimacy to the level of a secondary Motivation. In social combat, the character gains a +3 bonus to MDV against social attacks that seek to turn him against his Intimacy. He suffers a -3 MDV penalty, however, against attacks that play on his emotional attachment: (such as threats to harm the lover or attempts to make the character jealous). Whenever the character performs any action that reaffirms his love, such as saving his lover from harm or performing some grand romantic gesture, he regains Willpower just as if he performed an action in furtherance of his Motivation. Finally, as long as the character is in the presence of his lover, his player has the option of rolling the character’s Compassion every morning instead of his Conviction for Willpower

in the Delzhan tribe of Re'sil that roamed all over Delzhan lands.  Most of her mortal life was typical for a woman in Delzhan and she did her best to make herself look beautiful and sexy and did an impressive job, but she also thought that it was a chore to do the housework and other menial tasks and not being able to expand herself to other fields.<br/><br/>When it was time for her coming of age ceremony she was sent out into the desert on a horse for five days and she would have to find her tribe while they were wandering.  When she returned she would suppose to have a poem created on her return.  During her third night in the desert, Amara was writing more of her poem based around the beauty of the desert and before she was about to end for the night she gets surprised by a group of slavers who attempt to capture her and sell her in the slave markets she desperately flails and fights the men and gets beaten severely, with her last ounces of strength being she thought she knew the inevitable was to come.<br/><br/>As she was being stripped bare of her clothing a film of sparkling gold and white light in the form of a circle and with a sword and two eyes in the middle of it shining brightly as her wounds miraculously heals and her body gets stronger, more beautiful, and her mind becomes clearer.  In the end of her transformation all the slavers die by her hand.  At the end of it she became a Solar Exalt.  At the end of her transformation she looks at the men's clothes and notices that none of this would have happened if she was a man and she disliked the fact of doing housework and enjoyed being out in the desert and hunting when she had to do while out alone during this ceremony.  With her clothes ruined she stripped the clothes off of one of the dead bodies and found whatever she could find to make a gray sash.<br/><br/>She returned back to her tribe with no poem, but the meat of a few freshly killed animals in the desert and proclaimed herself Kamar Siene, son of Rukaf Siene.  When he entered his father's tent, Kamar revealed what had happened to him and then Rukaf told Kamar to come with him.  Rukaf awakened his sons and told them to fetch a heavy locked chest that was in the tent.  Though there were five of them carrying the chest to Kamar and once they put the chest down Rukaf told his eldest son to open the chest.  Kamar did and to his surprise it was an ancient daiklave from the First Age.  Rukaf has said that he had been keeping this sword in his family until one who was worthy to wield it could do so, and Kamar was it.  Kamar exited the tent in the morning brandishing the daiklave.  Kamar then revealed that he was a Solar Exalt to the tribe and that with his newfound powers and abilities that he will use them to better the tribe.<br/><br/>Over the course of a year Kamar's power grew, and as that power grew the more his power grew the more respect and admiration he gained from the tribe.  Eventually Kamar became somewhat of a god-king to his tribe and gained leadership through those who began to worship Kamar.<br/><br/>Deciding to use his god-like status he leads a small party out to do some trading with a tribe nearby and that is when the party is attacked by a group of two dragonblooded exalts and their cadre of warriors who were in the lands of Delzhan.  His group attacked the warriors with ferocity while Kamar attacked the two dragonblooded.  It took several hours of fighting to end the assault and in the end it was Kamar who was victorious leaving no one alive who attacked the group.  Taking a suit of armor worn by the dragonblooded leader and taking a healing artifact from the other as trophies Kamar continued on.<br/><br/>After Kamar gained these artifacts he eventually organized the groups of worshipers in the tribe to form an organized cult.  The cult contained most of the tribe as worshipers and Kamar set-up a doctrine of wandering and traveling in not only in Delzhan lands, but through all of creation.  Kamar saw the need to learn about the rest of the world if his tribe and his cult is to grow and by utilizing the nomadic traits of his tribe then it would be a simple course to expand upon that.  Kamar would travel with his cult all over the southern lands of Creation to learn, absorb, and adapt the different cultural traits of each nation in the land.<br/><br/>The most major advancement to Kamar's cult was when he and the cult were traveling to east at the base of a mountain a hidden cave.  Feeling a pull to the cave Kamar entered the cave first and traversed through the dark cavern until he entered into a wider cavern laced Black Jade all over the wall that lit up the area.  Inside Kamar could feel great power there and noticed the series of caves throughout the area and noticed that this could be small sanctuary and area of worship for his cult and the source of a hearthstone for his daiklave.  With the aid of the cult they erected a small shrine and added a bit more to the cave including a few traps throughout the networks.  This place would be dedicated to those who have tired of traveling and wish to lay to their final rest along with a final place of sanctuary should great turmoil were to be happen.<br/><br/>All these advancements while secretive couldn't stay secret for long.  It wasn't long before when a mysterious man came to him and told Kamar that he knows that he is a Solar with many abilities and weapons and items that do not belong to him.  The man was going to blackmail Kamar to becoming a servant to him or he would reveal to some of his contacts in the Immaculate Order where to find a Solar in the South.  Kamar challenged the man to a duel and if Kamar won the man would swear an oath to silence about him being an exalt.  The man was allowed to pick the terms of the duel and made the wrong choice.  Thinking that he would have the upper hand in a sword fight he picked to those terms.  The fight lasted for a good half-hour until when Kamar proven to be victorious.  Keeping to his words he promised he would not tell anyone about Kamar or Amara being a Solar to anyone.  He leaves swearing vengeance to Kamar.<br/><br/>Kamar traveled among many places in the South, but she had yet to fully explore them due to many hindrances to her and her tribe that she sadly could not.  Occasionally she would leave her tribe and bring only her must trusted confidants with her to either to go and fetch some supplies in the closest city that they could get to, or to simply travel along the desert for just travelings sake.<br/><br/>During one of Kamar's travels to Chiaroscuro Kamar encountered a rather rude sailor who called him a woman and continued to insult Kamar up to the point that the Dereth challenged the sailor to a duel and giving the sailor the terms to the duel in which he chose to duel to nothing but body and guile and whoever falls prone first loses.  Kamar attempted to fight the challenger, but lost in mere seconds a loss that would was highly dishonorable.  But what surprised Kamar was the man's kindness to help him up.  Introducing himself as Azzan and was eventually revealed to be a Lunar.  The two started to talk to each other and over the course of what might be days, weeks or even months they began to form a relationship with each other while Kamar felt a deeper relationship that was causing him to be lustful at times Azzan's love was more disciplined than his partners.  The two have been traveling with each other since then."

He has dark chocolate toned skin and athletic powerful build body. He wears white thin leather pants, worn dark brown leather boots and wears his orihalcum reinforced buff jacket open up front. His heartstone amulet resting against his muscular chest while he carries his long katana in his back and wears pair fingerless dark leather gloves. Heartstone amulet carries a clear pure white stone in it's socket.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>Sapphire has quite complex background and family issues, his mother is from Chirosucor, one the capital cities of the south and city known for free trading. She met there Sapphire's father in there; a general Marcel who was one outcaste dragon-bloods who had born and raised in Lookshy. Sapphire's mother, Ruby, worked as dancer and was slave. Marcel fancied her and bought her, but once at Lookshy then released her from slavery and Ruby then married Marcel and had Sapphire and also Sapphire's two siblings; two younger sisters called Brigth Opal and Twilight Topaz (children named by Gem's customs where Ruby family roots are; named after valuable gems and stones).<br/><br/>Sapphire however was three years older than his siblings, so he has some happy childhood memories from Lookshy and listening tales of his father's war tales and stories in his lap and also already get some sword training! But then suddenly all changed in one night; Ruby took children secretly, set house on fire and using sewer passage she moved children and reluctant screaming Sapphire to a fishing boat from exit of the sewer crate. Rowing her way along the river a while she got into smuggler ship heading to Nexus....where then she throughly she erased all traces of herself and children. despite many arguments, even outright beatting when Sapphire was older, Ruby did not reveal reason why she had run off from Lookshy. Saying 'she did it for everyone's sake what she did' and also warned Sapphire never return to Lookshy.<br/><br/>Anycase Ruby became quickly a drug addict and started sell her body to get cash, so at that point Sapphire started run off and live life of a thug and street rat, a tough kid who cannot stand his own mother's behavior. Soon mother was no longer recognizable in her drug dazed and drug stimulated emtoional outbursts which varied from mlancholy self pity to outrageous drunkard beatting her own son in fury. Sapphire when he was in teens (and his sisters were six and eight) he tried sneak out with the sisters away from abusing mother but he was caught by Ruby. She kicked Sapphire out and denounced him being her son and Sapphire did same in return! Later when he tried get sisters out they refused come with him, wanting stay with the drug addict mother to keep care of her.<br/><br/>Sapphire, bitter from becoming alone became then a bandit and started care only for himself. With time he became scoundrel sword for hire, and surprisingly good swordman (mostly thanks teachings what he remembered and he practiced hard everyday). He worked without shame and with dedication of a mercenary, he growed near suicidal valor for combat and he soon became mercneary leader and learned through hard lessons tactics. His men also practiced banditry during hard tims and he learned to adapt and survive in wilderness when he was not welcomed to civilization. But then he made big error; his troupe attacked a guild protected caravan who had hired dragon blood guard it!<br/><br/>It was simply put outright slaugther for his men fight against fire aspected mercenary, and first time in his life, Sapphire knew fear. He ran off after his men got butchered but dragon-blood was relentless, not giving up the chase! Sapphire ran and eventually got cornered into grove of trees. The dragon blood decided 'cleanse' filth like Sapphire away, taunting and calling him spineless coward with no grand goals nor dreams in his life besides life live filled with booze and women from cash what he earned from spilling cheap blood.<br/><br/>Those insults bited deep in Sapphire's soul, and long forgotten words of father what Sapphire had not remembered for years re-emerged. He then decided if today he will face death and defeat, he will do so as a man and not sniveling maggot as he has been. He drew his sword, faced the dragon blood mercenary into eyes and said; ""Come cleanse me already and stop yapping dog."" In that moment of bravery, and realization of long forgotten ambittions and dreams, sun blessed Sapphire and he defeated dragon blood with sudden display of celestial power! Side effect from intense duel part of the tree wall got burned away, leading to secret grove where a long forgotten manse resided. His armor and weapons broken from conflict he found new weapon and armor inside, alongside with manse's powers and heartstone which gave him majestic grace.<br/><br/>After his second breath he had turned new leaf, turned from bandit leader into enemy of bandits. His heroism has inspired the free feeling River Province folk revere him as a hero....even in deitic proportions! As he walks around as 'god of war' and helps farmers and weak people fight off against bandits and mercenary companies. He himself walks alone and defeats every group alone. But despite his new purpose he is still same selfish self and noticed that working as hero has it's merits; he still gets booze (most of time free among his 'cult'), willing virgins bed him (hoping birth his sire who grows to his greatness) and place to stay....but people like and worship him as hero avatar! All this worship has made him decide conquer the world under his reign, he wants power and more power and influence."

All ""prime nation threads"" are linked to a ""world"" thread that is mainly is a map of the world plus links to nation's prime threads. The world thread talks about general aspects of the world (and a summarised overview) but it is unlikely to be a point where role play occurs - its more a overview of matters and a way to navigate between nation's threads and branching threads. Myself and others (who likely are players from a nation far from yours) will start role-playing some companions of your leaders in each nations main thread starting adventures, ones that may stay inside the nation or urge you elsewhere. These will be branching threads and will branch from your main city thread to other places. Branching threads may merge with other branching threads OR others prime city threads or end without linking or branching if they are simple<br/><br/>... you the players choose which leaders of your nation will branch off from the main thread into new threads (from your nations thread.) also for a while you can role play in your own main thread what sort of things your getting the nation to do ... or to flesh out some area ... this is useful later when other wish to visit (giving atmosphere and places to go when in your nation)<br/><br/>Any leader can have up to six points attributed to the following skills<br/><br/>Fighting (how good the leader is when alone fighting someone or something)<br/>Tactics (How good the leader is at coordinating a group of 10 to 50 others)<br/>Strategy (How good your leader is at coordinating multiple groups)<br/>Magic: Weather<br/>Magic: plants<br/>Magic: Imbuing (creating single use magical items)<br/>Magic: Charms<br/>Magic: Summoning<br/><br/>Up to three points can be given to any one of these skill sets.<br/>Three points implies a ranking of ""Impressive"" (Extremely good)<br/>Two points implies a rank of ""Capable"" (Very good)<br/>One point implies a rank of ""Adept"" (Good)<br/><br/>so for any one leader you can have 3 skills at ""capable"" ranking<br/>(2 points each per capable ranking) and thats it or two ""impressive"" skills (3 points each) or 6 x adept skills (1 point each) or one impressive and three capable etc...<br/><br/>A players king or queen must stay in their nation capital residence, tightly binding them to the prime nation thread.<br/><br/>A player however also controls up to<strong>three ""free leaders"" </strong>that are free to travel the world as they deem fit. Unless otherwise stated each free leader is expected to have a small entourage, members of which can be controlled by the story teller on a per need basis.<br/><br/>If more royalty exists than three underlings directly below the king or queen ... they can be earmarked by the player to accompany a free-leaders retinue. Otherwise it is assumed they are busy coordinating activities of their nation (and can be role played by the storyteller at any time).<br/><br/>The mechanics and culture of your nation is up to you.  My only condition is that attempts to make it comical are avoided, and although this is a fantasy setting where magic does exist, the culture for such an environment has to be believable.<br/><br/>Ideally you can also be a story teller for a nation not close to your own which is detailed more in the couplings thread.<br/><br/>Return to Kings and Queens World Thread  (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=57777.msg2626682#msg2626682)<br/>"

The kingdom of Vassaloth is led still by the witchking Seraphicus Deathwail, a successful shadow elven general in the service of the matron mothers of the dark elven society. His resentment towards the mistreatment and discrimination against his people by the dark elven society instigated him into leading the armed rebellion against the dark elven empire. The armed rebellion failed ofcourse and he and the remaining of his followers and supporters were forced to flee to the surface and northward far from the reaches of the dark elven empire where they established a nation in the mountainous area surrounded by arid wasteland and a strange swampland further southward.<br/><br/>During the armed rebellion against the matron mothers, other slave races of the dark elven empires also took up armed and joined the witchking, amongst them are the human slaves and shadow dwarves. Those of them who survived quickly fled with the witchking and his followers to the surface to help build a free nation for themselves.<br/><br/>The first hundred years had been hard on the peoples of Vassaloth, despite the fact that they built their nation in the wastelands to escape from their past enemies and perhaps to avoid any contact with future enemies, the wastelands has home to many wastelands dwellers now turn to marauders as well as bandits and barbarians from the mountains. Two cities were built, Vendigroth as the capital city and Mystellar as the city of the mountains where most of the shadow dwarves dwell. Each city had been plagued with bandits and marauders problem for nearly a century, Vendigroth itself suffers fro multiple invasion by the wasteland marauders and Mystellar from barbarian tribes that dwells in the mountains. Their rocky start however did little to dissuade this hardy people to take on another exodus, infact with each time the defense force of both city successfully turn away the barbarian and the marauder's raids and attacks it only made the Vassalothians that much bolder.<br/><br/>The shadowguards were formed 40 years after the founding of Vassaloth to deal with the constant threat of barbarians and marauders, these shadowguards started out as simple militia units formed to protect their home, over time this ill trained militia who had many times turn away the tides of enemies at their gate became trained veterans in the art of warfare and that's how the shadowguards came to be, the biggest military organization in Vassaloth. Sixty years after the founding of Vassaloth, witnessing the resounding successes of Vassaloth against the wastelands marauders and mountain barbarians, the lizardfolks of the two enclave finally decided to meet with the representative of Vassaloth. Deals were made to ensure their continued independence and security in exchange for whatever the swamplands could offer and it was then that the lizardfolks finally joined the kingdom of Vassaloth.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Society</strong></span><br/>Vassaloth is governed by a complete monarchical rule of the witchking, being a shadow elf himself he gave most political powers to his own people. Discrimnation is rampant in Vassaloth but to the humans, shadow dwarves and the other races that escaped from the Dark Elven Empire, the discriminatory policy of the shadow elven government is much more preferred compared to the slavery at the hands of their cruel dark elven masters and mistresses, while the swamp folks had only joined the Vassaloth kingdom for protection, in return their resources of the swamps as well as their expertise in warfare are shared with the rest of the nation. The witchking however doesn't rule alone, the more meager aspect of governing were left to the shadow council, a group of<strong>shadow elven nobles</strong>(http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/42939/preview) with political power of their own, each ruling over a piece of the land and are directly responsible for the welfare of the people and the development of the land they governed.<br/><br/>The Witchking handles affairs at the national level compared to the shadowlords who governs the state affairs, he is helped by his consorts, the brides of the witchking,<strong>sorceress</strong>(http://www.mavryktoo.com/dark_elf_sorceress.jpg) and<strong>witches</strong>(http://www.reanimatedart.com/DarkelfFinal.jpg) of great powers chosen for their noble bloods and their powerful and useful talent in magic.<br/><br/>As in any multispecies nation, the social hierarchy of the kingdom of Vassaloth are highly imbalanced, most of the political power are given to the Shadow elves making them the absolute rulers of Vassaloth, the human society of Vassaloth became merchants, and had only recently began forming their own merchant guild at the behest of the witchking. The Shadow dwarves had been given two mining towns to dwell in provided the empire with the constant supplies of ores and gems for the nation to use either to trade or to turn into another good they can use for the betterment of Vassaloth. The Lizardfolks had long dwell in the mysterious swamp nearby, having been outcast from the rest of the broods they formed their own brood but after sustaining many battles with marauders from the nearby hills, a consensus was reached that would have them annexed into the Vassalothians society in exchange for protection and their special right as the indigenous race of the swampland.<br/><br/>The nation of Vassaloth is well diversed enough to turn their multispecies nation into an advantage, the mountainous area where they had settled in is home to near endless reserves of mithril ores and many abandoned gemstone mines of civilization long forgotten. The shadow dwarves became the main contributors for this endeavor, they became the engineers of the advanced mining technology as well as the overseers of the slave labors working at the mines. The human slaves of the dark elven society were granted full freedom for their support of the armed rebellion and true to their human nature of tenacity and greed, most of these humans were able to become a small time merchant of Vassaloth thanks to the stolen loots they recovered during the armed rebellion, as such the human society of Vassaloth is a valued member of the shadow elven nation thanks to their contribution to the economy of Vassaloth. The lizardfolks makes up the forth largest population in Vassaloth, they are not directy governed by the Shadow Council but instead by the elders of their enclave. The lizardfolks provides the Vassalothian nation with many benefits of the swamplands, including the nation's main source of food, herbs and their expertise in warfare.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Military</strong></span><br/>The kingdom of Vassaloth maintains a strong army of over 6000 troops comprises mostly of shadow elves with a few detachments of human troops and elite lizardfolk stalkers. There are three separate military organizations of Vassaloth, The Shadowguards, The Enclave and the Blackhand. Although all three of them works separately, usually giving rise to the situation of the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing, they all answer to the Witchking. Currently, the Shadowguards maintains a land army of over 3000 troops while the Enclave have well over 3000 Lizardfolk warriors is the mainstay of Vassalothian Cavalry forces and the blackhand are an army of elite soldiers and assassins working directly for the Witchking.<br/><br/>The Shadowguards are the mainstay of Vassaloth military, primarily made up for shadow elves as well as a few human detachments and<strong>shadow dwarven rune mechanists</strong>(http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k335/dbuhos/Coolness-1.png). Humans in the Shadowguards serves mostly as healers,<strong>Shadow Archers</strong>(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/kylemeinke/Anime/ArcherMale.jpg) and<strong>Illum Priests</strong>(http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg262/Senzykyo/Phyrexian3.jpg) providing support on the field of battle. The shadowguards<strong>[1]</strong>(http://img.war-europe.com/syndic_img/careers/fr/blackguard-concept-01.jpg)<strong>[2]</strong>(http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/newsletter/2007_08/de_armor_blackguard_T5.jpg) are the organization main battle troops, usually the first to be deployed on the field of battle and the last to leave them.<br/><br/>The Enclave is the military organization of the lizardfolks. True to their years of dealings and consensus reached between the Vassalothians and the enclaves, the lizardfolks military does not answer directly to the Shadow Council as such they operate separately from the main body of the Vassalothian armed forced. The lizardfolks uses the<strong>Rukh'tar</strong>(http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/newsletter/05_2008/de_armor_coldone_light.jpg) as their mount and serves as the Vassalothians main cavarly force.<br/><br/>The blackhand are the secret sect of assassin's, spies and elite ruthless warriors serving the Witchking directly. Only the best of the best are chosen to become either the<strong>Shadow Assassins</strong>(http://valhallaburning.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/ca0806_09.jpg) of the blackhand or the<strong>Deathguard</strong>(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammeronline/images/thumb/1/16/Malekith_concept.jpg/300px-Malekith_concept.jpg) of the Witchking.<br/><br/>Since mithril is in abundance in the mountainous areas of Vassaloth, it has become the nation's primary ore for forging standardized armors and weapons for the Vassalothian nation. Mithril being a lighter and stronger metal(except adamantium) prevails over other types of metal however they are severely weak against magical attacks. Also, the rune mechanists of the shadow dwarves rarely ever fought on foot and would usually rely on their mechanical weaponries, mithril however could not be used for this purpore and the nation of Vassaloth had to continuously import metal ores and woods from other nation to supply the rune mechanists with the needed raw materials to construct their armaments.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>VIPs of Vassaloth</strong></span><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Witchking Seraphicus Deathwail(Current Ruler of Vassaloth)</strong></span><br/><br/>(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn66/Akira_Asakira/ShadowWarrior_RpChar.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Born Seraphicus Vassalothica, to a family of impoverished dark elven noble family, he was soon cast out to the street after his entire family was massacred for actively denouncing the matron mothers and their matriarchal governance. He was forgiven for the crimes his family had committed through his military contribution to the dark elven empire especially of his last campaign of subduing a dark dwarven thane. Seraphicus is born a natural leader and has a knack of coming up with spontaneous strategies that could turn the tide of battle in a short time. The turning point of his life when he met a seer during one of his campaign who foretold of his rise to power and a vision of him sitting on a throne. Guided by the false belief that the throne the seer meant is the throne of the empress of the dark elven empire, he set out on his well planned armed rebellion, unfortunately most of the allies that promised him their support backed off at the most crucial moment at the siege of the capital city.<br/><br/>He was cast out of the dark elven empire, fearing that if he's caught the penalty for treason would be death in the most excruciatingly painful way. Those slave warriors who had joined him since the beginning of the armed rebellion follows him fearing for their safety as well. They fled to the surface where they marched further for a week or so before finding upon himself a ruin of an old civilization in the middle of the barren wasteland, believing that the land might hold an undiscovered opportunity, he decided to set up his own kingdom there with the refugees of the armed rebellion and named his newly formed nation Vassaloth in honor of the destroyed noble house where he comes from.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Warrior Skill:</strong></span><br/>-Fighting: Capable<br/>-Tactics: None<br/>-Strategy: Impressive<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Mage Skill:</strong></span><br/>Summoning: Adapt<br/>Seraphicus wouldn't be called a witchking if he lacked the power to cast a few spells atleast, the ruins where he build Vendigroth on has well preserved library and before the ruins were completely demolished to give way to the construction of Vendigroth City, the books that are related to magic were piled and hauled away to the witchking's tower and there he had learned the art of summoning. Though his power isn't that impressive yet he could summon any medium sized creature to aid him or his troops in battle.<br/><br/>Summon Air Elementals: The ability to summon 6 foot air elementals that could tore apart enemies with the use of wind alone. At his current level, the witchking may summon a few of these but not much to entirely turn the tides of a battle.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Lady Asharess, the Sorceress</strong></span><br/><br/>(http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/42650)<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> A noble at birth but she was cast out of her family for failing in one of her mission set out by the matron mother of her noble house, Asharess have had a shaky start in her career as a sorceress whose status and job is highly admired and in demand by the dark elven empire, yet one botched mission and she was cast away by her families immediately. The witchking rescued her from a slave camp during one of his campaign and ever since then Asharess has been following the witchking's campaign and exploit as one of his top military commander and adviser in his court.<br/><br/>Currently, she commands her own detachments of bladewitches, an elite corp of the blackhand finest troops aside from the witchking's personal bodyguard, the deathguard. There have been rumors circulating that the witchking means to add Sithera as one of his mistresses at his garden of concubines, if this is so she is officially a bride of the witchking and that would give her a greater political power than she could have ever dreamed when she was just an adept sorceress back with the dark elven empire. Lately, the witchking has been favoring Asharess by sending her for a diplomatic mission after years of keeping to themselves, it is apparent the witchking trusts her enough to deal with this delicate matter wisely, as such Asharess also acts as a high ambassador of Vassaloth. <br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Warrior Skills:</strong></span><br/>-Fighting: None<br/>-Tactics: None<br/>-Strategy:Capable<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Mage Skills:</strong></span><br/>-Environment: Adapt<br/>Having learned magic since she was but a child, Asharess knew much about elemental magic and had been seen using it as her primary arsenal when threatened. Despite her charming and beautiful look, she can quickly turn into a nightmare made manifest when she started casting fireballs and calling down storms upon her enemies.<br/><br/>Fireball: The fireball spell varies in size, during dry or sunny weather the fireball can grew into an explosive magnitude that could blast an entire squad of, perhaps not killing them entirely but sending them away with their tails between their legs most certainly.<br/><br/>-Charms:Impressive<br/>Where she is in her social hierarchy she would certainly need this spell, the spell to charm others around her. Asharess is already an attractive shadow elf but in order to capitalizes on that advantage she had also learned the power of charm. This school of magic allows her to captivate her allies into fighting harder or terrifies her foes and discouraging them from fighting against her.<br/><br/>Charm Person: This spell enables the spellcaster to charm the target. The target of the spell has to be a sentient being with a soul to manipulate and corrupt as she sees fit, with this spell she would make herself look more seductive and attractive to control her prey however the success of her spell depends on the target itself, it would be a cakewalk when she uses the spell to charm a simple farmer at a backwater town to give in to her demand but would be harder on a powerful mages or wizards who have had mental resistance prior to meeting her.<br/><br/>Fear: Asharess may not be the best of commanders on a battlefield but that does not mean she is completely useless, where other warleaders strive through the use of cunning battle tactics she may simply cast her way out of it. The fear spell enables her to instill terror on a group of enemy infront of her compelling them to retreat through the power of suggestion that they would certainly die if they continue to invoke her wrath, but again, the success of this spell depends entirely on the target, it would be easier to instill fear on a group of militia who lacked any real military training but it would be nigh impossible to penetrate the minds of elite fanatical soldiers who would rather commit suicide than return home ashamed.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Commander Armis Sarel</strong></span><br/><br/>(http://thewarpzone.wikispaces.com/file/view/armis-sarel.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Formerly a wandering mercenary leading a small band of freelancers.

But during its construction the five thousands people that were to called it their home didn't have much of a choice, they were being chased by an empire that loathe them for their betrayal and treachery simply because they finally said, 'enough is enough'. Prior to the existance of Vassaloth, the wastelands had been an unforgiving place and had it not been for Vendigroth city, the merchants and travelers have absolutely no reason to travel there at all but now to the merchants, there are lucrative profits to be made by bringing their exotic and sometimes even basic goods to the citizen of the city and the city's location also provided refuge for the outcasts and a pit stop for travelers.<br/><br/>The city is surrounded by thirty feet high walls that surrounds most of the city in it except for the outlying settlements and despite the fact that the city was built in a wastelands, its inhabitants shows much energy going about their daily life. The city streets are littered with pedestrians and carts going about their ways, and at the side of the streets are the many stalls set up by merchants that have come far and wide to trade at the Wasteland Citadel. Most of those on the streets are Shadow elves who had at one time so boldly followed their leader to overthrow the matriarchal rule of the Matron Mothers but were now outcast and now came to build their own kingdom. There were also various other races that dwells alongside them, namely the human and shadow dwarven slaves of the empire who was freed when they joined the rebellion but these days it's very hard to see any human inside the city as they tend to dwell on the outlying towns nearby and Mystellar where they share that mountain city alongside the shadow dwarves.<br/><br/>In the middle of Vendigroth City stood erected a black tower so high that travelers lost in the barren wastelands could see it from miles away and use it to get their bearing. The tower, ebony in color is further draped by red colored banners with the emblem of Vassaloth on nearly every balcony along its length to the top of the tower where it all came up to a sphere shaped structure on top of it. That is the witchking's chamber and just below it lies the audience hall in what look like a rectangular shaped structure from outside the black  tower.<br/><br/>The audience hall seems quiet for today as always however it is anything but unoccupied, currently three figures could be seen occupying the audience hall. At the end of the Audience hall is a black spiky throne with a symbol of Vassaloth carved upon the wall at the back of the throne, and someone is seen sitting on the throne, posing a calm calculative demeanor. Clad in black leathery armor with a few runic markings on it and draped with torn out black cloth upon cloth that almost covers his entire intricate armor like a cloak, this is none other than the witchking himself. He appears like a statue at the moment, placing his hands onto the throne's arms and lowering his head so that his hood would cover most of his head save his pale lips, the other two figures stood at the entrance of the audience hall not too far away from the throne, armed with ornate dark armor with shades of blue, this guardians of the witchking is the Deathguards, best of the best handpicked by the witchking himself as his own personal bodyguard.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the huge open doorway was greeted with the arrival of three figures, standing pride amidst the fact that they now are going to face their ruler, both feared and respected by the people of Vassaloth as someone who had built this nation from nothing but dirts of the wasteland into a strong nation it is today. The first is a shadow elven woman draped in dark shaded robe that reveals much of her blue shaded skin and despite her rather lithe appearance she emits this aura of grace and elegance like that of a noble she was, as well as seductive when she approach the witchking. She looks to be in her twenties by a human age but her age had perhaps passed that of three generation of men, and as she stood in front of the witchking, her clear violet eyes fell on him waiting for him to respond.<br/><br/>In the middle stood a man, wearing scale mail armor popular nowadays amongst upstart mercenaries but his is different, normal scale mail would be silver in color and made from pure iron, his however made purely with mithril heated up to the point of melting with shadow dwarven engineering and forged into smaller pieces of scale and attached into a grim looking scale mail with intricate rune markings. The man itself looks to be in his thirty who was able to maintain his stout muscled body despite his age and he has a scar that marks his face along his jawline, his brown eyes looks to the witchking with a boastful posture waiting for the ruler of Vassaloth to respond.<br/><br/>Finally stood a lizardfolk amongst those who attended, she is one of the most influential shaman of the enclave, her scaly sin of brown suggested that she is far older than she appears to be, especially with her demeanor of being so active and adventurous unlike the elders of her kind that prefers solitude and wise counseling in their old age. She wore a small brown leather top with a piece of mithril plating on it that covers her breast and a brown scaly leather loincloth that covers her underneath, armed with a knife she sheathed and tucked at her belt, she stood prideful when facing the witchking.<br/><br/>This three are the witchking's most resourceful and successful lieutenants that had in the past proved themselves by helping him in reigning over his kingdom and now, he calls them for a reason. Suddenly, the witchking lifted his head up but not too much the hood still covers most of his face but he purposely let the hood pulled down just a little when he lifted his head to reveal a partial of his face, namely his left eye now completely gray in color including his inner eye, it is almost as if he was blinded but it was not so, on the contrary he could see more than before thanks to this...gift. The witchking looks over at the three figures standing in front of him and finally he stood before making his way over to the nearby window that oversaw the entire wasteland citadel from the safety of the tower of Verilith, his seat of power.<br/><br/><strong>""We have isolated ourselves from the world since our inception into the world's stage for fear that our former enemies, the matron mothers of the empire would return one day and wiped us off the face of this world, but now no longer...""</strong>, the witchking spoke in a cold and confident tone that demands admiration from his subordinates tone despite whatever background they came from.<strong>""There have been news of other kingdoms who had begun to expand at an alarming rate, the marauders and barbarian plague is over, now is the time to expand and I intend to crown myself as a powerful ruler, not just a ruler of two cities with a couple of towns and forts""</strong>. He turns back towards the three leaders and looks at each one of them in the eyes before he walks back to his throne and sat there, his leg crossed and his hands firmly placed onto the throne's arms.<br/><br/><strong>""It is time...""</strong>, he said as he now looked to the sorceress. Lady Asharess, the shadow elven sorceress is favored by the witchking and she knew this for all her time of following his exploit since their time in the dark elven empire she had more than once proven her loyalty as well as resourcefulness in handling things politically related,<strong>""Asharess, you shall be my ambassador to the outside world, you shall represent my kingdom when dealing with other nation and as you know our nation lacked many resources so larger scale of trade is needed with any neighboring nations and above all else, I will entrusts our nation's best interests in your hand, do what needs to be done just as long as we get the best part of the deal""</strong>. The sorceress bows her head and carved a seductive smile on her blue pale lips,<strong>""as you wish mylord...""</strong>.<br/><br/>The witchking now turns his attention to the human commander notable for his recent military successes,<strong>""Armis, you are my military strategist a genius for a young human like you...""</strong>, he suddenly spoke which Armis, the human commander replied with a slight bow before looking up again with a smirk on his face,<strong>""...there shall be time when conquest is preferable and when that time comes...and I assure you it will, your skill will be needed""</strong>.<br/><br/><strong>""Then I shall make the necessary preparations, I will make sure to carve fear and terror into the minds of your enemy so much so they would hate their sovereign for not surrendering to your will unconditionally...""</strong>, Armis has been known to be unstable sometimes and sadistic and that side of him was apparent enough to everyone in the room when he displayed that wicked grin at the end of his sentence.<strong>""...and finally Sithera, your people and mine have had a beneficial alliance and now it is time to take it a step further, as I wish to expand our dominion and for that you shall be tasked with further enhancing our nation by whatever means necessary, there are artifacts, allies and hidden powers out there just waiting for us to stumble onto them...""</strong>, but before the witchking could finish his sentence the lizardfolk shaman interrupts.<br/><br/><strong>""...and ssssooo you want me...to lead and exsssspedition of sssorts?""</strong>, she asks her head tilted to the side questioning her ruler's decision, the other two was quick to turn their gaze to the shaman, their eyebrows furrowed, they could not believe she would have the audacity to interrupt their great leader when he was talking,<em>'as expected from a barbaric overgrown lizard'</em>, that thought was projected telepathically to Armis by the shadow elven sorceress and the human commander chuckled in respond and made no attempt to hide it,<strong>""indeed...but at the same time you are needed as one of our warleaders during times of war, I trusts that there won't be much problem with that?""</strong>. The lizardfolks are warrior beings, their very tradition are based on warrior codes and codes of honor, cold blooded honor that is and to lead this peaceful expedition to her is insulting so the witchking in his wisdom decided to soothe her pride by telling her that she may take part in war should their nation declares one after all Seraphicus is wise enough not to lose the support of one of his loyal lizardfolk supporter.<br/><br/>The witchking then waved his hand off to the three as gesture that they may leave and the three of them took a few steps backward before turning around and leaving the witchking alone in his throne room, to them the witchking entrusts many delicate matters and there's much to be done."

projects a Mystic Stealth field that works like the Mecha Version only the degree of difficulty is raised by one rank.<br/><br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/><br/>Personality:   Cory is playfully sensual and fiercely independent.  She commits to a soldier's intimacy easily, but avoids true commitment like the plague, having never experienced anything but heartbreak stemming from it in her own life.  Her parents gave an oath to serve their creators and were betrayed.  They gave an oath to love and to hold and build a family and only hurt the one they were creating the harder they squeezed.<br/><br/>Aspiration:   Live life in the present.  Learn from the past because it gives perspective so that the present may be appreciated.  Prepare for the future because it will one day be the present.  That is all past and future are, the present is the only true reality.<br/><br/>Motivations:   Cory scoffs at the suggestion that she has any motivation besides to live hard, love well, and fight the good fight, each in their appointed time.  In truth, however, Cory is deeply driven to fight the good fight by both the sense of right and wrong her parents instilled in her and, even more strongly, the sense of proving to them that the years they sacrificed to make her were not a waste.  She is Nazadi, a true heir to Captain Cory's name.<br/><br/>Family:<br/>Mother: Kaly:  Formerly a pilot and gunslinger back in the war, this slim and beautiful silver haired Nazadi still catches the eyes of many men, but isn't interested in breaking hearts.  She began by working part time in an oil shale mine and studying part time to apply her knowledge of ships sensors to bringing out the last of one of earth's near lost resources for the purposes of manufacturing the highest grade plastics.  She is a high tech prospector for black gold, but she doesn't sell it for fuel, she provides peace officers with modern armor.<br/><br/>Father: Talana:  This scarlet haired, body sculpted ebony giant has a surprisingly light and melodious tenor voice.  When not working for a prosperous firm training the security guards they provide, he sings tenor in a barber shop quartet.<br/><br/>Friends:   Cory once had a circle of almost a dozen lesbian and bisexual girlfriends that she regularly hung out with doing all manner of things friends do (and havign orgies as well.)<br/>Only one still associates with her, Fey, for they were all attacked at the same fateful party and only she and Fey kept their heads and joined the Society.<br/>Fey is 5 years older than she, a sexy blond working for the same dancing agency who favors a whip for personal defense but also knowes how to break arms and use a taser.<br/>Their bodyguards: Hans, Cristoff, Joseph, and a Jamaican base named Marlowe are also good friends, but they usually just work out with them.<br/>Hans and Marlowe are normaly work her dance jobs, Cristoff and Josephy Fey's.  Cory has a secret desire to jump Marlowe's bones based largely on his voice, but has held back thus far.<br/><br/>History<br/>Childhood Life: Conceived to Kaly and Talana, Nazaddi who had fought together at the end of the war and shared a passionately tense comeradery.  In the ensuing peace, they experimented in sexuality together.  Upon convincing a child, they were initially excited and named her Cory for a lost comrade.     Unfortunately time showed that Tellena and Kaly didn't make half as good lovers as they made fighting partners.<br/>Out of a sense of responsibility, they agreed to stay together 'til Corry was grown.  Little Corry wasn't really happy, known as she did that her parents endured each others presence, and all the hateful screaming and shouting and shaking to suppress the violent impulses associated--out of some twisted sense of her 'benefit'!  Why couldn't they accept that she loved them and would rather they be far away from each other where they would be happy.  With growing frequency as she aged, sometimes out of guilt, others out of bitterness, and occasionally out of honesty, the idea played in her head that she didn't  need them, they would be happier without her and she would be happier without them.<br/><br/>At age ten she began to get her wish.  Cory's mother Kaly moved away in pursuit of a better job, leaving she and her father with a better job and a better school.<br/><br/>By sixteen, she forged any documents necessary and went to work for an agency that contracted private exotic dancers for the entertainment of the rich and powerful.  She saved all her checks so that, on her eighteenth birthday, she could thank her parents for raising her despite their incompatibility, wished them well, and informed them she wouldn't need them anymore.  A few days of drama and tears latter, things settled down again.  Cory's parents, it turned out, had also been saving up monies for her in trust funds.<br/><br/>Adult Life:<br/>Cory continued to dance, putting off the idea of college at first, being a tad bit shocked by the freedom of finally being her own woman.<br/>One night, she and her girlfriends were making out in the hot tub with chocolate milkshakes when a profane thing assaulted them and only Cory and her blond friend Fey kept their heads together enough to get their panicked friends out of the line of fire when the heroes showed up to clean up the profanity.<br/>Both were offered a 'scholarship' to a 'college' controlled by the     Society where they learned of secret threats and secret wars and Cory became a Tager.  They kept their day jobs as covers as well as supplementary personal income.<br/><br/>"

She could tolerate the bugs and the rats and the other vermin that called this darkness home, but she couldn't stand the stifling, claustrophobic blindness she experienced here.<br/><br/>Her family became suspect when she was ten, and soon she was as suspect as they were.  Jalany was now equally untrusted by friends and family alike. Counselors and school administrators asked her repeatedly for information, and she had none to give.  In their eyes, this made her guilty.  The fact that she spoke to these people at all made her guilty of betrayal in the eyes of her family. She was shunned at school, even by those that she had known all her life. She spent more and more time in the basement room, as her family did not want her around while they plotted.<br/><br/>When she was 15, she overheard her parents talking and was once again shoved into the blackness of the room. This time, she managed to smuggle in a knife and escape, running straight to the authorities to report them. The Nazzadi punishment for traitors was brutal, and she knew this, and still she turned them in.  This did nothing to improve her lot in life. She was alternately looked at as one loyal to the government, a traitor to her family, or both at the same time.<br/><br/>She had been accepted into the Eldritch Society at 17 (after much discussion about her background and the loyalties shown since then), but her acceptance with those that know her history is tentative. She has shown nothing but loyalty to her cause and her codes, but there is always the niggling doubt in others' minds, the thought that she could turn as traitorous as her family.<br/><br/>Actually, Jalany is quiet for a Nazzadi, and a little shy.  She knows how others feel about her and does her best not to offend those she works with. She's learned how to treat the wounds that come with battle, both on the Nazzadi and the humans, and is slowly learning to repair the mechas as well. She doesn't fight unless she has too, but when she does she fights to win. She's known for her medical abilities and is usually first chosen for jobs because of this. She wants only to be accepted for who she is, not shunned for what her relatives were. The fear of the black room in the basement haunts her.<br/><br/><br/>"

Her lips are tattooed a normal pink, blue eye color contacts, her hair is typically dyed a platinum blonde and her skin tanned using a chemical treatments. Almost all methods fail under protracted use of her abilities though.<br/>Her body no matter her coloration is that of a very attractive young woman with a noticeable figure and voice that is best described as a 'whiskey rich sultry' that draws notice whenever she speaks.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Outgoing and exuberant when she has her 'face' on (the makeup) but tends to withdraw when her 'face' is threatened to be revealed. As a result she tries to avoid use of her abilities when she is out and about.<br/>When she not made up, she tends to be withdrawn and does her best to not draw attention.<br/><br/><strong>Aspirations</strong>: ""Want do I want out of life? "" To be an actress and singer, she is currently studying dramatic arts, creative writing and music with the intent of being a singer/actress. She has had some success in both fields in school as she grew up and tries to downplay her psychic powers as 'superfluous' to her goals. More realistically though she is trying to find a more pertinent role in life, though she is unaware of it.<br/><br/><strong>Motivation</strong>:  She's trying to find something in life that would make her feel 'complete'. A justification for her abilities and what it all means. To find some reason for why Fate gave her them. She is just now becoming aware of these questions and the discontent in her life that she had never realized was there. She is trying to find a place in the world where she can be accepted for who and what she is.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Emerald has very little in the way of 'family' since her mother was practically the single survivor of Arkham, Mass. at the beginning of the First Arcanotech War. She staggered from the outskirts wreckage with little or no information of her past. What her mother did during the war, Emerald hasn't ever learned.<br/>She does know that her father was a documented supporter of Field Marshal Kyrsa, though her mother won't explain how she can to be conceived. What little experience she has had with the Nazzadi leads her to believe that she would be ostracized by the majority and quite possibly used as a 'trophy' by her father's remaining supporters so she has kept the secret to herself. Recently she has started looking into the Nazzadi culture though.<br/><br/><strong>Childhood:</strong>Born to a single parent, and raised in solitude till she was 6 years old, Emerald exploded into the school scene as soon as she was allowed in public. With the exception of a few displays of her abilities and the mandatory testing by the government she worked hard to be the 'typical schoolgirl' as she learned of it from media. She was a very outgoing and busy girl, with a variety of clubs and hobbies to keep herself occupied though her 'exuberance' did on occasion show her efforts to compensate for the 'otherworldly' air her heritage brought to her surroundings.<br/><br/><strong>Adult Life:</strong>The arrival at college has shown Emerald a much wider world than her prior experiences had led her to believe.  She has already started to develop her physical abilities with active study in dance and physical training, and is starting to develop more confidence in her abilities. She has also discovered college parties and raves, as well as developed an very enthusiastic bi-sexual lifestyle though she hasn't really connected with anyone yet due to her secret.<br/>"

They had a different view of the world than the other elves. They were only a few hundreds of them but they found the land of their new home. It was a forest, which was dark and silent, and most of the plants were poisonous. But nobody else needed this lend so they started to build they own nation, Unterhia.<br/>They found eatable plants and fruits in the forest and they found out how could they eat the poisonous ones. Some historian think their bodies had changed because of the unique food they ate. Some other group believes their elf body changed itself because they changed the way of their life. Maybe the reason remains unknown but the fact is still fact their physical appearances changed.<br/>Their skin turned into dark grey like the ash. Their bodies are more muscular then a normal elf their strength and stamina is also above the elves. The dark elves didn’t really care about they just accepted the changes. Some of them were even glad that they are no more look like the other elves.<br/>After when they build their first towns life was peaceful for centuries. They were too small to conquer and they don’t have any valuable lands. But everything has changed when they got in a way in a barbarian army. However they were training warriors but they couldn’t stop the barbarians, but managed to survive. It pushed the nation to develop more capable warriors and they began to build a fortress.<br/>The fortress soon became a city that called Luin Norno. After fifty years of the first barbarian attack another horde came, but the most of them died under the walls of Luin Norno. After this victory the surrounding lands noticed the dukedom.<br/>During the next century many warlords tried to conquer them but they all failed. They first line of defense was the forest with it’s poisonous plants. Many warriors from the enemy died because they ate the wrong fruit or made their campfire from the wrong trees. Secondly the dark elves didn’t attacked them directly. They let them into the forest. Once the enemy was in, they cut the supply lines. They survived many invasions. The neighbourhood nation gave up the attempts to conquer them and started trading with them.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Government</span></span></strong><br/><br/>The dukedom was lead by a duke and the council of the elders. During the centuries the council has the real power the duke simply carried out the councils will. They ruled their people with iron fists. Every dark elf feared their power and obeyed rather then turn against them.<br/>But in the past few years things have changed. The new duke stole the power of the council. Some of the council member was died in a very unfortunate accident; some of them were the duke friend, so easily achieved that they grant him more power. The new duke has ambitious plans to wide the borders of the dukedom.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Religion</span></span></strong><br/><br/>Basically they have three gods. Manthor the god of war, Polisseon the god of birth and life and Illsee the goddess of death. But these not like the other gods. They don’t have statues or cathedrals just symbols and a few altars. In their beliefs the three god always with them everywhere. They think of their existence as a path. In the beginning Polisseon give them strength and pushed them on the path. They run and run and Manthor protects them and help them fight their way through the obstacles in their life. And when the strength what Polisseon gave them run out they fell right into Illsee’s hand who embrace them.<br/>They have their own mythology and aside from the three main gods they also have a lot of emissary from the three gods. These emissaries cover the other aspect of life.<br/>Amongst the dark elves there is no priest or priestess. What they had they called them preceptors. The preceptors teach the religious things to the population. They are strange persons and all preceptor chosen by the emissary. After that they gave up their whole life and do what they thing would do the emissary. There were never any preceptors of their gods.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Economy</span></span></strong><br/><br/>The dukedom lands don’t have any good opportunities at first glimpse. But the dark elves made the most of it. From the plants from the forest they’re made various drugs, poisons and love potions. As the population grew the forest couldn’t support them enough food, so food is the most important import product. However they have some gardens near the villages but they keep most of their lands in its original shape because most of their poison and potion ingredients grow in the forest.<br/>They don’t have any ore too, but they have magnificent smiths, who can make swords and armours what a dwarf could envy. Basically they import the raw material and sell the product. The only raw material they have is clay, and they made a lot of pottery.<br/>They economy based on slaves. Every slave is a captured warrior they don’t really buy slaves. They have slave trade but only inside the country. They have slave guilds that go to the surrounding lands and capture slaves for the dukedom. Sometimes they are called by rulers to help them solve a robber band problem.<br/>The dark elves do only the jobs, which require proficiency. The rest is the slave’s task.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Army</span></span></strong><br/><br/>The army of Unterhia is very unusual. The dukedom doesn’t have one big army. The biggest legion is the Luin Norno’s guards. The rest of the army is split up 40-50 person bands. Each of these bands patrol in an area, and if they encounter any enemy, the first thing they do to send a message to the nearest areas.<br/>If they force to create an army they just collect the bands and during the battle they stay together. The dukedom has approximately 1000 warriors. Despite the small number each of them very skilled and they can stand against two time’s bigger armies. However the training new warriors take years, so loosing only one of them is a great loss. That’s the main reason they never tried to conquer any land just defended they own.<br/>The dukedom has only one offensive tool in its hand. Assassins. The dark eleven assassins are one of the best in the world. For them killing somebody is an art. They use weapons and poisons to reach they goal. They can work in groups or alone.<br/>Rumour says the dukedom is experimenting to create a slave army. They have a lot of slave, and if they mange to create the slave army they became a great threat. With the lot of slaves and the well-experienced dark elven warriors they have the power to strike.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Society</span></span></strong><br/><br/>In every dark elves life fight is an important thing. The average dark elf can use in some level the sword and the bow. It’s part of they religious and takes important part such ceremonies like wedding.<br/>They also don’t trust other species. During they history everybody wanted to kill them, so they careful around strangers. They have a few village what are open to the outside world but the rest of them are forbidden to the guests. They do their trading in their open villages and usually every trader caravan has an dark elf follower.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Cities of Unterhia</span></span></strong><br/><br/><em><span class=""bbc_u"">Luin Norno: </span></em><br/>(http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/101/1016002/rumor-grin-was-developing-a-final-fantasy-game-20090819105804875_640w.jpg)<br/><br/>The one, and only stone city. It is the fortress what they build against the barbarians. About a thousand dark elves live here. Luin Norno isn’t a big city it’s rather an extended fortress than a city. However the streets has many statues and mosaic pavements. On the top of the fortress there is a tower that called the Observatory. It is a tower filled with magic.<br/>In the middle of the Observatory there is a big and clear crystal which can show distant lands. The duke can watch in every village can track any traveller who is within the Observatory’s range. Unfortunately whoever is using it can only watch. Can’t send message and can’t hear what the observered persons talk.  Also can’t allow seeing in houses or tents. But it can be used to track armies inside the land of the dukedom. It is capable to look further but it has a limitation.<br/><br/><em><span class=""bbc_u"">Minasse:</span></em><br/><br/>This is the second town that has stone buildings. And the most famous as well, because this is the city where most traders go to trade with the dark elves. Several inns located here where travellers can rest. A small castle is also located here. It’s just a tower and a wall around it. This is the place where the dark elves contact other nations diplomats.<br/><br/><strong>Ensallar, the duke</strong><br/><br/>(http://images.gfxartist.com/images/ArtworkItem/full/153332.jpg)<br/><br/>Fighting: Impressive<br/>Tactics: Capable<br/>Strategy: Adept<br/><br/>He is the only child of the royal family. During his childhood he had taught by the most excellent teachers. Beside the etiquette reading and writing he very liked his sword lessons. When he grew up he had a very bad argument with his father, the duke. He accused his father that he is coward and couldn’t stand against the decisions of the council.<br/>The next day Ensallar disappeared. He couldn’t live in Luin Norno any more. Not till his father was alive. He hides his true identity and travelled in the dukedom. For 24 years he lived the life of the average dark elf. Sometimes he worked as a gardener sometimes he escorted the foreign traders through the land of the dukedom. Then finally he joined the army. He had to always on the move because his parents never gave up the search for him. There was only one person in the dukedom that had information about him. He was his old teacher Lurnaen. He gave Ensallar advisees and misleads the elves who were searching him.<br/>After the 24 years his father dead in a disease. This was the time when Ensallar returned. With the help of Lurnaen and two assassins Vexxis and Vessor he had broken the power of the council. He became the new duke and Lurnaen became the leader of the elder council.<br/>Ensallar changed has changed the politics. He didn’t want it that the elves fear him and the council. He wanted that the elves love them. He knew they would do his will if they love him fanatically. Ensallar has walked amongst them, led troops into battle personally, and his presence was always a boost to the warriors.<br/>After he became the duke his still got an adventure spirit and he take care of thing often by himself. Maybe because of this his people love him, his warriors prepared to die for him.<br/><br/><strong>Lurnaen, the head of the Elder council </strong><br/><br/>(http://www.elderscrolls.com/images/codex/races/darkelf.gif)<br/><br/>He was Ensallar teacher, now he leads the council. The trust between them is incorruptible. He agrees with Ensallar’s ways and protects his power. Fortunately it’s not a hard task since the council has eleven members and the most of them respects Lurnaen and trust his decision.<br/>Usually he takes care of the everyday things what needs to be done to run the dukedom. He looks after the economy; he confers with the other nobles. This does really bother him, he likes this job, and he knows Ensallar was born to accomplish bigger things.<br/><br/><strong>Vexxis and Vessor assassins and bodyguards </strong><br/><br/><strong>Vexxis</strong><br/>(http://th08.deviantart.net/fs11/300W/i/2006/185/b/8/Vexxis__Dark_Elf_Shadowknight_by_DesignsByEve.jpg)<br/><br/>Fighting: Impressive<br/>Tactics: Capable<br/>Strategy: Adept<br/>(Played by GM)<br/><br/><strong>Vessor</strong><br/>(http://www.jfkproductions.biz/DarkElfBladeDancer.jpg)<br/><br/>Fighting: Impressive<br/>Tactics: Capable<br/>Strategy: Adept<br/><br/>They’re are twins. Both of them were orphans when a member of the Magnolia assassin clan has found them. He brought both children to their training camp. The clan liked to train orphans. If they die in a mission nobody was looking for them and they also don’t have to worry about relatives.<br/>Both of them were talented. They were succeeded in a lot of missions no matter they worked together or alone. One of their missions they met Ensallar and after that they did adventures together. Ensallar of course paid a nice sum of gold to the Magnolia clan.<br/>When Ensallar became the duke, the Magnolia clan became the royal assassin clan. They provided assassins and bodyguards to the duke the council members and the other important persons. Vexxis and Vessor became Ensallar’s personal bodyguards. They follow him everywhere unless he ordered one of them to kill somebody. Because of Ensallar request Vexxis learned how she could seduce her targets and how to melt into the high society. After that she often disguise herself to Ensallar’s company and act like an empty headed noble woman."

Several hours of digging later, as the moon rose into the sky, they finally fell back. Below them stretched a broken dome, glinting dully under a film of dust and sand. Broken minarets and crumpled towers lay scattered, shattered testaments to what had once been, now discolored and cracked by ages of disuse. There was history here to satisfy a savant for a lifetime, but that was of little interest to the figure who slid down the sides of the sand pit to survey the ruins.<br/><br/>""Finally!

Slowly at first, and then more rapidly as midnight neared. The air became hot, stifling, replacing the chill of the desert night. Scents of sweat and perfume rose around her, accompanied by groans and grunts, curses and howls in tongues long forgotten. The heat raced through the woman's body and spread out around her, causing even the demon erymanthoi to pant in desire as the spell reached its' climax and settled into the dragon lines of the world in a quick pulse of desire.

Marek replied, feigning ignorance.  ""I don't know what you're talking about.""<br/><br/>The Twilight smirked as he turned towards him while stepping in front of him.  She grabbed the edges of his jade-plate armor and slammed him up against the door of her chamber and stuck her face right next to his jaw.   Her nose brushed underneath his ear lobe.  ""Don't you play coy with me,"" she purred as one of her hands ran down the man's stomach.  ""Who was she?"" the Savant growled as she took Marek's soft lower lip between her own full lips.<br/><br/>Marek let out a content sigh as he felt her breath, and his hands instinctively fell to the woman's hips.  ""Mmph,"" he muttered as his lower lips stretched slightly at the Twilight's attention.  ""I don't think you'd know her, Quinn,"" he offered as he pressed his lips hungrily against hers.<br/><br/>Very few people called her by her real name.   She simply didn't allow it with most, because there was power in a true name.<br/><br/>However, with Marek she didn't mind. The Savant giggled slightly as she reached back and opened the door, causing both to nearly tumble through.  ""Oh?   I bet it was that little bar wench,""  she offered in her sultry voice as she urged Marek towards the bed.<br/><br/>""Actually it was...""<br/><br/>Marek never finished his sentence.     In that moment, both he and Quinn were overcome.     She felt Marek's cock grow rock hard against her, and her thighs became slick and wet.   She threw him down on the bed and strattled him.<br/><br/>""Ooo,"" Marek coo'd in a confused manner as Quinn crawled on top of him and produced a small acorn from the pocket of her robes.  ""What was that?""<br/><br/>""Just shut up and eat the damned acorn,"" Quinn growled, and she shoved the nut into the man's mouth while grinding wantonly against his hard cock.    As he chewed, she shed the robe she was wearing, so that she was fully exposed to him.<br/><br/>And then, as quick as it had come, the urge subsided, leaving her wanting more.   It was frustrating, nearly infuriating.    It was replaced with something new.    It was a want to go south.  It was over-whelming, but she wasn't quiet dressed for travel just yet.   And besides, she had started something that she intended to finish.  So she did the next best thing and went down instead.<br/><br/>((Fade to black, and using the Spawning of Monsters.  I think the diff on the roll is 3.   If so, I'll sux it to death with the 2nd excellency.))<br/><br/>"

The hours seemed to last longer than usual, do largely to the constant state of arousal she now had to deal with.

By the time she landed in Gem, she could feel the light burning her entire body.

It was the blood of a split heart. Azzan brought the blade to his nose and inhaled deeply, the essence in his core vibrating with excitement. He licked the blade gently.<br/>It was an explosion. The forces within him stirred as something new entered the balance.

they were tired of Exalt rule, and by concentrating them in the South, and keep their minds on an endless orgy, could clear most of Creation of them.  There were only three major problems with that one.  First, the ability.  Mortals couldn't do much anything, and no mortal he knew could do magic like this...or had enough experience with First Age tech to.  Second, themselves - meaning the Sidereals.  If this got to be a big problem, Sidereals could retreat to Yu-Shan, find the source of the disturbance, and then launch a pinpoint strike.  Third, Exaltation itself.  Exaltation went to 'randomly' (to mortals anyway) chosen people, and they would have no idea who could be an Exalt.  Granted, they lived a very long time, but it was still an issue.<br/><br/>Second.  The Fair Folk.  Every operative in the Bureau knew that they could mess with emotions and things like that.  What was more, by occupying the attentions of the Exalted, they would be, more or less, given free reign to run across Creation and cause havoc, much as they did in their previous invasion.  Problem was the Realm Defense Grid - one Exalt could use it, and blow the Fair Folk back outside of Creation again.  So unless they hit every single one, the Fair Folk would eventually be in trouble.<br/><br/>Now, to start with the Exalted.<br/><br/>The Solars.  Overtly, they had very little to gain from this - their own people were affected, and they couldn't produce new Solars, unlike the Terrestrials.  If Solars were strong enough to resist, though, it would allow them to reduce the numbers of their opponents - the Realm and the Immaculate Order.  At least, until all those Terrestrials popped out more Terrestrials, and boosted their ranks.<br/><br/>The Lunars.  Like the Solars, they didn't have a lot to gain, for much the same reasons.<br/><br/>The Infernals...one could argue that Akuma were definitely not Exalts, but were stronger than your average mortal.  If the Infernals were behind this, it would be to occupy the attention of the Exalted long enough to establish a permanent foothold in Creation.  Plus, they'd have access to the demons of Hell, who could do just about anything, given the right demon.  Yet, it wouldn't help them reduce the number of opponents - far from it.  They'd have to fight more, and they seemed to be the fewest of the Exalted.<br/><br/>The Abyssals.  One would think that with their obsession with death, that this would be counterproductive, but that was only if the end was focused upon.  For all anyone knew, the Abyssals' plan would be complete before the children were born.  Seeker never quite knew with them.<br/><br/>The Terrestrials.  They had the most to gain from this - more Exalts, ways to discover other possible Exalted.  What was more, they were the de facto rulers of Creation right now, and while they didn't have the power or experience or learning of the Solars or Sidereals, they had people who could excel in both sorcery and First Age technology.  The question was, though, who was trying to do this?  The Realm?  Lookshy?  That wasn't certain.<br/><br/>And finally, themselves - the Chosen of the Maidens.  It seemed that this new weapon could benefit both the Bronzes - by providing more Terrestrial Exalts to train in Immaculate thought and ways to wipe out the Solars - and by the Golds - for the same reason as the Bronzes, only in the Cult of the Illuminated, and against the Immaculates.  But doing this had caused a reaction in the Loom of Fate...not something entirely kosher with the people upstairs.  They were supposed to fix the problems, not cause them.  If the responsible party got caught, they would be in serious trouble.  Who could do this, though?  Every faction seemed suspect.  The Harbingers were, because people would go on great journeys to the South.  The Joybringers, because sex and having children seemed to be their thing.  The Shieldbearers, because people would fight to claim the most attractive mates as their own.  The Oracles...perhaps it was because it was his own people, but he couldn't think of a reason why...though he did admit, an Oracle would be most likely to pioneer this scheme, and get away with it.  The Reckoners, because this would bring an end to the warring between Exalts.<br/><br/>Regardless, this was all speculation.  Seeker needed more clues and information!<br/><br/>He paused.<br/><br/>There was...one other possibility.  An upper tier god from Yu-Shan would have the power and knowledge needed to work such magic, or such technology.  But...what possible motive would a god have?  Revenge?"

rest.     After preparing the day, she and Marek entrusted Peony into the care of Paxem, gathered a few day's worth of supplies, the cage, and the rarified components.      They then set off deep into the woods to a predermined spot.<br/><br/>The trek took all day and ended a few hours before sundown.     Once they arrived, Quinn set up her cage and began preparing the legion of candles and incense that they had prepared.   Marek was exhausted, so she let him rest while she did most of the work.   This didn't bother her much at all; Marek would need his strength if something went awry.<br/><br/>By the time that sundown rolled around,  the entire clearing had been encircled in candles, and the scent of jasmine filled the air.    Lines of salt had been drawn around the cage, trapping it first in a mason's square, and then in a circle, and interlaced with the arcane algorithms used to bend Malfeas's body inside out.<br/><br/>Just before midnight, Marek woke and donned his jade armor and tiger claws, while Quinn meditated.    They didn't converse at all, for each knew that they needed to focus on their task.    Most of Quinn's effort would go into the binding, so she needed to be entirely focused on the task at hand, and Marek needed to be able to take down the beast quickly should she fail.<br/><br/>As dusk came, Quinn opened her eyes.      Standing confidently, she stroke over to the cage while pulling her spider-silk robe tightly around.    Her emerald orbs closed and she outstretched her hands as she began channeling her essence into the cage, and began to force a gate to Malfeas open.<br/><br/>As she did this, her caste-mark began to glow, as did she.    The light began to grow in intensity, slowly at first, but then quickly escalated into a bright column that lit up the night sky.   As this happened, an golden, glowing acorn began to form above the Savant's head, and then slowly fell to the ground as if it were a feather.<br/><br/>When it landed in the ground, a golden, glowing sapling began quickly grow.   The sapling stretched out it's limbs, which grew twigs, which in turn grew more twigs, as if it's growth were dictated by some fractal.   The width of the tree quickly grew, as did it's height.    It's branches reached for the sky, towering over the other trees of the woods.    Leaves began to spring from the branches, and an infinite number of flowers began to grow among the infinite number of branches and twigs, and from these flowers bloomed, budded, and then gave birth to every sort of  being that could conceivably exist, both beautiful and horrible.     To look at this vision was very near to looking into the sun itself,  and even as she worked, the tree seemed to grow around Quinn so that she was a part of it,

open, exuding a bright green glow that was accompanied by the smell of vitriol.<br/><br/>From this hole, a buzzing sound could be heard as a large crystal insect leg emerged from the hole and found footing within creation.   This was followed by a second, and then a huge wasp-like creature would pull itself from the ground.<br/><br/>The creature was painfully beautiful.  They stood about as tall

He remembers his first fight over a scrap of bread and his first cold-blooded kill, but all who have fallen to his fists and blades after that are nothing more than endless blur of fists and faces, too many to remember.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong><br/>Stiletto is more dangerous than he looks. The heavy lidded brown eyes might seem kind and lazy under the jet black wavy hair, his wide mouth may seem to be smiling; his calm is deceptive. Underneath the poise lays the passion of a violent man, one who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.<br/><br/>He may not be tall but his body is lithe and extremely fit, well toned with muscles that ripple under the sleeveless shirt. He wears a faded leather jacket, jeans and steel toed boots. Under the jacket is a bandolier with a variety of daggers, and although these look quite lethal, he more often resorts to the switchblades he carries in his jeans pocket. A set of cuffs and brass knuckles dangle from the leather and chain belt,<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/>His existence has made him a natural loner, someone who has not learned to trust or befriend. It is not that the abilities aren’t there, but in the ghetto, those have oft proven weaknesses that may lead to a swift end in a dark alley. He is loyal to himself first and foremost, although he may extend his protection to others when it is in his benefit to do so. He can be charming at times, but like the weapons at his command, it's a tool used only when it serves his purpose."

He had been born a slave. He would die a slave. He knew this, and accepted it. So ingrained in his self was the concept that he found it hard to even contemplate any sort of alternative. He was, after all, a Wykeham, and the Wykham's belonged to Count Montagu and his family. It was, in his mind, really just that simple.<br/>Seven hundred years ago, on the other hand, things had been much different.. Gregori's ancestor, Count Fredrik Wykeham, was the furthest one could get from a slave. Of all the noble's in the area, he was by far the wealthiest, the most influential, and the most powerful... besides Count Montagu. Fredrik wanted Montagu's lands for himself, and what Fredrik wanted, Fredric took. Or he attempted to, anyway. For what was supposed to be a quick coup turned into a nearly 30 year war... massive casualties were had on both sides, and entire villages were destroyed... until at last, in a desperate battle, Montagu captured Fredrik and emerged victorious. The devastation wrought by the insurrection was horrific, and in Montagu's eyes, even the executioners axe could not make up for what Fredrik had done. So, instead, he sentenced the count, and his entire noble house, to slavery... one year for every innocent who had died in the war.<br/>The Wykehams had been slaves ever since. At first, there was resistance, there was the occasional uprising... but over the generations, as those who remembered freedom, even the old stories of such, died, they came to accept their place... even into the modern era, when such things were virtually unheard of, Montagu's castle, in the half-forgotten corner of a tiny eastern European nation, remained rooted in the old ways. No Wykeham had left the castle in centuries, and they quite literally had no idea of how much the world had changed.<br/>Gregori, like his father and his grandfather before him, was an expert fencer. He did this not because he enjoyed the hobby (although he did), but because it was his duty to instruct the Count's sons in the art.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Personality:</span>Gregori, like many of his family, has a very calm, almost zen demeanor. It is, after all, easy to be content with ones place in life when one has no idea that there are other options. Removed from the castle where he's spent his whole life, and forced to reevaluate his worldview in the face of the wider facts of reality, however, and it's hard to predict exactly how he'll react."

His fanged jaws somewhat elongate the silhouette of his face while the tip of his nose is melded into the upper lip.

From the top of his head a pair of spiraled horns curve backwards, joined by a pair of triangular ears.<br/>From his back a pair of enormous wings grow, measuring 32 feet between the tips when fully spread.

Not entirely accurate.</div><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>While Stráž can remember nothing solidly before his embrace, the facts of the matter is that he was born a revenant of the Zantosa family in 1708 in a part of the world then called Upper Peru, but which would in time be known as Bolivia. The Szantovich family had been ousted from Europe by their hated enemies, the Grimaldis, only to later reappear in the Americas under the name Zantosa. Stráž, then named Milosh by his parents but known as Emíl among mortals, grew up in Villa Bohemia, in the foothills of the Andes, among the wanton debauchery of his notorious family. Aging at only quarter the speed of normal human being, Emíl could play cards, shoot pistols, fence, ride and flirt while only appearing no more than ten at most. He was a child of his family and by his hundredth year had tried nearly all narcotics available in the South Americas, lain with countless women, sired a daughter with his own half-sister, killed men with nary a thought and helped hide the vices of the more twisted members of the Zantosas.<br/><br/>When Upper Peru's struggle for independence began in 1809 an eager Emíl, looking no more than twenty-five, accepted the family's wishes for him to join the revolution and in the bloodshed dispose of their business rivals in the country. Through sixteen long years Emíl fought both on the field and in homes, killing Spaniards and plantation owners alike for both glory among his comrades and favour among his relations. It was still a wearied man who returned to the Villa after Bolivia had be proclaimed and from then on he retreated away to certain extent from the wild parties and debauchery of his family.<br/><br/>He gratefully accepted requests to aid the Tzimisce in North America and would spends many years as a daytime guard for his masters. It was in 1869 he found himself in New York City as one of the guards of a young Tzimisce making a name for herself in the city. He was there the night her haven was attacked by something that came from the night on wings, crashing in through the windows to engage the ghouls and revenants. One by one they were dispatched, though they were able to ensure the Tzimisce's escape, until Emíl alone barricaded himself in the house's attic. Again and again the creature tried to force its way inside, but even then Emíl was no push-over, thwarting it just barely each time. It was just before dawn when the statue like being gave up and lifted off into the graying sky.<br/><br/>Emíl watched its flight and saw it duck into a church tower before the sun's rays could appear on the horizon. He collapsed with a sigh onto the floor and fell asleep on the spot. When he woke up it was yet daylight, though it was quickly failing, and so he swiftly armed himself with a firearm and a broken length of wood from the destruction and made his way to the church. Climbing up into the tower he searched high and low for over an hour before deciding that the strange vampire must have found some way out of the church. Just then, a rough gray hand reached out of the masonry and grabbed hold of him, followed by: ""<em>You again?</em>""<br/>With the pleasure and torment of death rebirth, Emíl's memory left him and what was to become Stráž began to form.<br/><br/>Stráž spent his early years in the care of Beryl, the female Gargoyle that had been so impressed by his prowess that she'd chosen him for her company down the long nights of unlife. Beryl was a crafted Gargoyle, created in Europe long ago and, having survived the destruction of her Tremere domitor, came to the Americas to get away from the Camarilla. Stráž, however, left her soon enough to venture into the nights alone, seeking for other Kindred and finding them in the very organization that Beryl had sought to escape from. Even so he driften from city to city, never seen as more than a second hand vampire when he wasn't assaulted directly by the Tremere, until he came back to New York where Kindred were plentiful along with all the opportunities that entailed.<br/><br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Equipment</span></strong><br/><br/>Greatsword: A huge, black sword made of worked iron.

They said he was never the same when he returned from the POW camps both physically and mentally, yet she would never know any different so it never really affected her. Her father was a distant figure that spent much time away from his family never quite managing to adjust to his return to his family in England.<br/><br/>She was brought up as one of the privileged though even those people found it difficult in the years just after the war when rationing was still a major part of life. Her mother did her best with the girl but she had never been a particularly maternal woman and was never quite sure of the strange little girl that often played on her own in the large gardens of their North Yorkshire home. So Milly's first years were spent in the company of various women, nanny's and housekeepers and other members of staff but it appeared to bother her little as that was the way things were. She did often watch her rather beautiful mother from a distance believing her some fairytale princess like the ones she saw in her books.<br/><br/>My mother told me I never should,<br/>Play with the fairies in the wood.<br/>If I did, she would say,<br/>Naughty girl to disobey.<br/><br/><br/><br/>As she grew Milly's father became yet more distant for she reminded him too much of his magical sister that had left for school one day and then never returned, she had never been spoken of again and only returned to him in dreams and quiet moments and then had finally drifted into nothing more than a remote memory, and he believed this child too would be taken from him if he grew to close. So he spent most of his time in London on the premise that he was working and of course her mother had to be at his side, for there she was able to return to her pre war life as the socialite. Yet Milly appeared unperturbed by any of this finding solace in her solitary games and own magical world that filled her childish head.<br/><br/><br/>The girl's life took a change about the age of seven when her father's rather odd old maiden aunt came to live in the house. Aunt Maud, she was rather a skeleton in the family cupboard, though not a dangerous one. It was she that took Milly under her wing and brought yet more magic into her life. For Aunt Maud knew the fairies and the fairies knew Maud. The old woman and the small child searched the gardens and then further a field in search of these elusive creatures, for Maud explained that this was Milly's Birthright from generations past.<br/>Though Milly's parents worried a little about this close relationship they were too wrapped up in their own lives to pay much heed to it for a few years, but as their daughter retreated into this fantasy world that they did not understand even they felt that something had to be done and so the child was sent away to school. Of course it would be a good girl's school and after a few conversations with acquaintances off she was sent to one that their friends advised on.<br/><br/>A was an archer who shot at a frog;<br/>B was a blind man, and led by a dog:<br/>C was a cutpurse, and lived in disgrace;<br/>D was a drunkard, and had a red face…<br/><br/>Milly was a bright child and though for the first few months she was somewhat introverted soon her vivid stories and friendly if somewhat peculiar personality won her a number of friends but the enmity of a few of the teachers. Though the girl did not find school a chore she lived for the holidays when she would be able to return home to her dear aunt and there she might find all her dreams and stories replenished. Still her relationship with her parents was distant at best receiving little more than the occasional letter or brief visit from them; though they always made appearances at the school when it was appropriate as they both knew how to do things properly and did not really want their daughters strange and sometimes wayward behavior attributed to them. Occasionally they would invite her to the City to join them in either of their separate lives hoping to steer her away from her Maud's influences. Yet always Milly declined politely and they really did not want her to disrupt their stable lives. There were times through pressure and persuasion Milly would spend a weekend or perhaps even a week at some school friends home, or perhaps have a brief holiday in Europe with one, yet even there she only wished to be in the company of Aunt Maud and her special friends.<br/><br/>Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross<br/>To see an fine lady upon a white horse;<br/>With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,<br/>She shall have music where ever she goes.<br/><br/>However Maud was an old woman, and one year, part way through the autumn term she passed on to wherever it was eccentric old ladies went when their bodies finally gave up. Apparently it was a peaceful passing but Milly for sometime would not be consoled wishing only to join her Great Aunt wherever she might be. It was not Milly's parents who were able to console neither them, nor her school friends or teachers it was the friends that she had made when running wild with her aunt. They explained to her how important she was to keep them alive her dreams made them whole, her stories and songs fed them better than any sweet pasties that she used to bring them from the kitchens. So as they inspired her to great things and yet more wonderful tales. So Milly kept a little magic in the world and they sustained them selves gently from her, feeding upon the glamour the child created.<br/><br/>Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,<br/>Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.<br/>All the kings horses and all the kings men,<br/>Couldn't put Humpty together again.<br/><br/>No longer having her aunt to return to made things a little more difficult for Milly's parents but they were able to avoid too much contact with their daughter sending her away on holidays and making sure that she would be able to travel or stay with friends during her times away from school and as ever the child complied but was still able to make sure that some of her time was spent at the family home even if it was under the care of an appointed housekeeper or other member of staff.<br/><br/><br/>Milly's mother passed away in a far more violent and shocking manner than her Great Aunt had. There had been a car crash and aspersions that were spoken of in hushed tones, she was with another man, and she was driving under the influence of something. The girl cried and wore black at the funeral  and spent as much time with her father as he needed yet she felt much less sadness than she had at the passing of<br/>Maud. Yet how could, anything else be expected her Mother had been little more than a stranger to her. In less than a year her father was married again to much younger woman and more whispers passed behind hands and closed doors but Milly for the most ignored them. Her 'new,' mother had little time for her step daughter and though never cruel she was merely as distant as her own mother had been and she held no animosity to this new woman. Her father's new wife fell pregnant and gave birth to a son and there was some celebration in that, though Milly was not really a part of it she found some joy in the new addition to the family though she was scarcely in a position to be a part of its life. Both her step mother and father wishing to keep that strange teenager away from him.<br/><br/>Pussy cat Pussy Cat,<br/>Where have you been?<br/>I've been up to London,<br/>To visit the Queen.<br/><br/>Milly's awareness to the world outside grew she began to take notice of the new underground movement, the youth culture that began flowering in the heady days of the sixties. Much of her newly found and more open rebellion was put down to a belated effect of her mothers death and the appearance so soon after of her step mother.<br/>However this was not the case it was merely that it was a way of life that she could understand. When her schooling was finished her teachers were rather pleased to see the rather subversive and bizarre young woman leave. Of course like all the other young ladies of her class and age she was expected to be presented and reluctantly and with much pressure she went along with it.<br/><br/>Her father by now wished to have Milly as far from his new life as he could, and the fact that he had a new heir that was male made this something easier for him too. Though still she was his daughter and he did not want to see her without some sort of future. He spent some time trying to arrange a suitable marriage something which Milly really wanted no part of, for she wished to travel and to go to University to carry on her education and take continue in her creative pursuits as a writer. For all that her school disliked her strange and sometimes subversive ways they could not deny that she was a bright young woman with a talent and flair for writing. Her father eventually relinquished a part and suggested that if he allowed her to travel and continue her education and then that she in her part must consider marriage when she finished. He hoped that perhaps this was just a phase that she was going through though deep inside, he knew already that it was not.<br/><br/>So Milly went to University, one of the better Red Brick ones as she was not quite the caliber or of the mind set of Oxbridge or Cambridge but that suited her just fine. She not only excelled in her literary studies but found herself enjoying extra curricular activities with some of the science students and those studying botany. It was not long before she was a dab hand at creating and growing a number of interesting hallucinogens and mind altering substances. However throughout all these rather illegal activities Milly maintained a kind of magical innocence about her. After her second year at University<br/>Milly deferred for a year and traveled with friends that’s she had made to the mystic east all of them hoping to find some answers to life and reality and to perhaps find themselves. The young woman loved the temples of Du Lac and India and she spent much time in contemplation struggling for some sort of identity. Yet a part of her heart always remained in the gardens of her youth and with the friends she had made there and still she continued to meet in the most surprising of places. She returned then and completed her degree in English and Literary Studies even managing to have some of her work published. By now Milly was also an active member of the peace movement and even had some consideration to go to the States to continue her protesting there.<br/>She had forgotten or perhaps had just wanted to forget what her father had planned for her.<br/><br/>The Hart he loves the wild wood,<br/>The Hare he loves the hill.<br/>The Knight he loves his bright sword.<br/>But the Lady loves her will.<br/><br/><br/>It was not that Milly hated the man her father had chosen rather she felt nothing for the rather grey figure who it was obviously marrying for her money and family name. Apparently he had, had some officers training to get the tie and then was now something in the City, he looked upon the brightly dressed young woman with messy hair, a ready smile and an eager laugh with some distain. Milly told her father that she could not marry him in fact she didn't feel now that she could marry anyone…at least for sometime. It was the first time that her father had ever shown any emotion towards his daughter though this was no positive thing, it was terrible he lost his temper and told her that if she would not follow his wishes then he would disown and disinherit her. After all how could he even be sure that she was his? Of course there really was no question but this cut Milly and hurt her desperately and she passed from his life that early summer evening and never returned.<br/><br/>I saw a Peacock, with a fiery tail,<br/>I saw a Blazing Comet, drop down hail,<br/>I saw a Cloud, with Ivy circled round,<br/>I saw a sturdy Oak, creep on the ground,<br/>I saw a Pismire, swallow up a Whale,<br/>I saw a raging Sea, brim full of Ale,<br/>I saw a Venice Glass, Sixteen foot deep,<br/>I saw a well, full of men's tears that weep,<br/>I saw their eyes, all in a flame of fire,<br/>I saw a House, as big as the Moon and higher,<br/>I saw the Sun, even in the midst of night,<br/>I saw the man, that saw this wondrous sight.<br/><br/>Milly returned to her friends both human and otherwise and slowly came to terms with the fact that she no longer had family.  The next year or so were little more than hazy flashes of colour and rainbows she survived well on the small inheritance left to her by Maud and the money that she had managed to squirrel away from her father before he disowned her.<br/><br/>It was at this time Milly was embraced, even she is unable to name the festival or the date but it was both the most exquisite and yet most terrible moment of her life. (And she was forever caught in the world of colour and pictures that she saw upon that night.) Her sire saw her and was drawn to her innocence and life she was for him moment in time, a quintessential part of the era and must therefore be preserved forever, for an eternity. It seemed that even after she became kindred Milly lost nothing of her character  even though he feared that the 'wee folk' might disown her like her father had it was not the case, they loved her as they had always done perhaps even a little more. For Milly, she missed the sun but was able to find beauty in the night and reveled in all that it brought. However a small part of her worried about that which she had wasted in her own self indulgent life and now realised that with her new found powers she could help people more, rather than use them as she had seen some of the others of her kind do and thus she vowed that her new unlife would be used to aid all about her for there was much wrong with the world even from her somewhat skewed perspective.<br/><br/>Her sire was more like a father than hers had ever been and she in her own way taught him to live again. Yet like all good things it had to end though, the parting was not so sad, for her sire began to understand more through Milly than he had in his latter and somewhat jaded years of his unlife he explained that he must head to the east in search of something, though he was not altogether sure what it was,. He would return to her when he had found it. She spent a little more time on her own traveling to various Cities and looking for somewhere to settle but few places seemed right to her finding that she preferred the company of the Shining ones than her own kind with their darkness and plotting all of which she found rather tedious and somewhat pointless. Most of them would not know a smile if it bit them on the backside!!!! And many of them were not impressed with any sort of prank.<br/><br/>It was during these years that she met Kate and Sykes and then finally Thad all of whom she grew to love if such was possible now in this undead state. They offered her a new family though they too could be rather serious but still they appeared less interested in the nonsense of kindred society. Milly began traveling with them as they all looked in earnest to find somewhere that they might settle a few places seemed reasonable but there was always something not quite right for one of them Milly thought it was to do with lay lines.<br/><br/>However certain things cannot last for ever and it was time for Milly to travel once more, this time alone again perhaps once more the lay lines would find a path to those that were not so obsessed with their darkness and look to the light. For there was a light and it had a name…her sire was searching and time she would.<br/><br/>Milly has not been very long in the City but she does her best to aid the mortal here rather than use them. She is not overly keen on the company of her own kind, finding their politics and backstabbing uncomfortable to her own way of life. Still if she can find those she trust Milly will of course do what ever she can to aid them. She is hoping that in this place she might find yet more clues to that which her Sire left to search for.<br/>"

Naomi was traumatized as a young lady, a mental scar that she still feels in modern nights.  She was playing in the fields one day when she spotted a murder of crows in the distance.  She crept closer to investigate, and to her horror, found a mangled corpse.  The crows took flight and buffeted her as they flew off- she still lives in terror of crows to this day.  She cried home to her parents, telling them what she’d seen and wishing she’d never left the house.<br/><br/>Naomi was 20 years old when World War I broke out, and the German advance quickly engulfed the city, leaving her stranded under German occupation.  Naomi had always been irritated by the affairs of state that raged around her quiet life.  She wanted to play a part in the decisions that prevented, or led to wars.  But at the time, women were not afforded such respects.  She couldn’t even dream of getting into a university to be a doctor like she wanted.  Furious with her lot in life, she waited in the occupied city with her family, hoping that a better time would come.<br/><br/>As the war raged on, the trenches that marred the French countryside were pushed back and forth.  Naomi’s family had to abandon their house and most of their belongings as the fighting came near, and the family was forced into a shelter within the heart of the city.  Unsatisfied with standing idle, Naomi volunteered to help the injured, despite the fact they were enemies of her nation.  “I can hear their cries from down the street.  I can’t sleep while they are hurt.”  She told her parents.  Her true reason, though, was that she hoped to get closer to the world to the world that was dominated by men.<br/><br/>Her help was welcomed, and for the most part, the German soldiers behaved themselves around the new nurse.  The surgeon, Doktor Franz Allinheimer, was touched by the young woman’s willingness to help.  She was competent, patient and possessed a steady hand.  Soon, she was assisting him during his surgeries.<br/><br/>Dr. Allinheimer was a very successful surgeon, not only because of his keen intellect and knowledge of the human body.  He was a kindred, a night-walker, and he began to watch the young Naomi.  He had lost several of his childer during the war, and was looking to begin anew.  As the allies began to pressure the German lines, he made his move.  Naomi awoke one night to find herself changed.  In the throes of frenzy, she killed a dying soldier, drinking all of his blood and ending his life.  That first kill still weighs heavily on Naomi to this day.<br/><br/>She was, like most newly embraced kindred, unwilling and unable to accept what had become of her.  She cursed the good doctor, but her attempts to run were met with supernatural cowing.  Forced to stay by his side, she continued treating German soldiers, even as the allies pushed the Reich back to Germany.  She never even had a chance to say goodbye to her parents.  She would never see them again.<br/><br/>After the war ended, she lived with her sire for some time, learning more about the human body, the kindred condition, and of the arts of clan Tremere.  She had already drank the mysterious elixir presented to her by the ‘elders’ of the clan, and found herself thinking of the clan’s interests, sometimes above her own.  It was long after the second world war, however, when she was finally able to enroll in a university, as women’s rights began to make headlines.  Since that time, she has gathered several doctorate degrees- psychology, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and an M.D. in hematology.  With advanced memorization techniques, she has developed a sort of photographic memory.<br/><br/>Although her clan is known for its Thaumaturgy, Naomi took to their practice of Auspex first and foremost, being both gifted and motivated in its use.  “The minds of others often have the answers you need.”  She told her sire when he inquired about her fascination with the discipline.  He responded by letting her know that he hoped she wasn’t cheating on her tests.  She never answered.<br/><br/>In the modern nights, Naomi is viewed as something of a maverick in her clan.  She knows very little Thaumaturgy, her clan’s signature discipline. She is entrenched in mortal affairs, far too much for the elders of the clan to approve.  They have tolerated it only because of the income she has brought the clan.  In 1999, she founded Hemetech, a research firm that focuses on blood-related diseases.  They’ve released several vaccines, antibiotics and chemotherapeutic treatments in the past.  A portion of the company’s income goes directly to the clan’s coffers.<br/><br/>She is currently performing extensive testing on ghouls to see the exact effects of vitae on the human body.  She tries to be ethical in her testing, but in the past, has sometimes crossed the line.  Her sire once walked in on a particularly unsavory experiment, involving a ghoul hooked to a constant IV of vitae while a spike was slowly driven into his stomach.  Though the subject survived, Franz proclaimed that she had gone too far, and he was unwilling to call her his child any more.  (Her dark secret is the unethical testing that she performs on ghouled lab animals and humans.)<br/><br/>Her current work in progress, and what she considers to be the masterpiece of her career, involves knowledge of the thin-blooded kindred (14-15th generation).  Naomi is working on a serum extracted from them that would give lower generations a resistance to sunlight, like the thin-bloods.  Currently, the project is in preliminary stages, and Naomi is looking for thin blooded test subjects to extract samples from.<br/><br/>In her leisurely time, Nancy takes pleasure in meeting new people and engaging herself at fanciful, high-society parties.  Art shows are a particular favorite.<br/>"
20977,NYC Twilight :: Character Profiles,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=59867.0,"16-02-2010, 19:04:44",Xanatos,"<strong>Name</strong>: Amber Grath<br/><strong>Age</strong>: Appears (23) Actual 40<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong><br/><br/>Amber is a striking beauty having a svelte yet rather voluptuous body. She is a graceful creature moving without thought in a naturally airy motion which captivates many. Her stark, strong, deep blue eyes pierce into ones very being when she looks straight into their eyes. She wears her medium long velvet like dark brown hair usually in braids or in a long pony tail, leaving her bangs free to hang over her forehead; she does wear it loose often, however. Her slightly dark skin shows her Mediterranean heritage.<br/><br/>Amber dresses in most of the modern fashions, preferring to fit into the popular places as it makes feeding easier and finding potential herd members easier as well.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/><br/>Amber is a strong willed woman with a sharp yet calm personality. Using others is not above Amber but she choses very carefully who she decides to manipulate not wanting any backlash from it. She can be demanding at times but generally is accepting and laid back in concerns to many things, so long as she feels she can get something out of it or at the very least is okay with its perceived outcome.<br/><br/>She likes being around others but is not averse to being alone or with a select few. Often times she only has her two ghouls to keep her company, and finds pleasure in manipulating them in various ways.<br/><br/>Amber is very promiscuous and proud of it. Its partially a game of control, but only to a small extent. She knows her immortality gives her an edge over Kine but otherwise she isn't overly big on using it, unless she really wants a particular Kine; she is weary of sleeping with other Kindred as she knows they may attempt to use her in the process.<br/><br/>Money is something she values but for different reasons than most. She values it only for how it can advance her goals, and does not value it because of greed.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Goals</strong><br/><br/>One of Amber's prime goals is to create a Herd that is entirely loyal to her and in which she can manipulate in nearly the same manner as her ghouls. She is not out for power so much, though she is not against having some, but she wants to be able to live as comfortable an undeath as she can get. The value of a herd in more than allowing for comfort has not gone unnoticed either.<br/><br/>Money is something she wants and lots of. She is not greedy in the truest sense of the word; she only wants it to better herself, not for the sake of true greed. She realizes most of her goals would fail if she did not acquire the money needed to make them come to fruition so she had taken the time to learn the art of finances and hired several individuals to help her in this goal. One of them, now a ghoul of hers, is Danielle, an intelligent as well as attractive young woman.<br/><br/>Linked to her main goal, she also wishes to buy a very large house or possibly instead, a club so she can use it to house her herd or make it a staging area.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Sire</strong><br/>Her sire is a vampire by the name of Markus Vinkin. He has a nearly insatiable appetite for sex and for beautiful things, much like most Toreador. He and Amber used to have flings constantly, though, Markus tended to wander off finding Kine or other willing Kindred to be bedded. In more recent times as Amber gained more independence she put distance between she and her sire, keeping him more at arms length. The less she sees him the better, though she does sometimes long for him in her bed.<br/><br/><strong>Herd</strong>: She keeps her herd within a large apartment she has. It is quite large, enough space to hold several more people besides her three herd, her two ghouls and herself; though most would end up having to share bedrooms. She and her ghouls already room in two rooms to conserve space.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>Amber has always been a social creature and was involved in the women's rights movements early on and has since mellowed out on the topic no longer feeling a need to harass men for equal rights, finding her life as it is, to be quite pleasant. Joining with others, having sex, and for a very brief period of time she even tried drugs but found she hated them so quickly stopped. Her life was not wild but nor was it calm. To keep herself afloat she used her beauty and natural charm to get jobs and or use men for their money.<br/><br/>Becoming a Kindred did little to change her, except she gained a new sense of life and desire to make something for herself where as before she lived more by the moment than living by goals or plans. While in one of New Yorks popular clubs she met a charming yet racy man by the name of Markus and quickly found herself enthralled, and in his bed... often. After many months of their heated relationship she found herself being bitten but it felt so good she did nothing to stop him.<br/><br/>Waking to many strange sensations she saw Markus looking down upon her naked form, still laying in the bed he had embraced her in. He informed her of her new self and new life. At first she was terrified but much to Markus's delight she was able to quickly adapt. She had been a night owl already, so being a Vampire did not change her perception of the world much, nor did she desire to see the sun. She found that she was able to pick up her life as normal, now with added benefits.<br/><br/>As the years went by Amber became more and more used to her new life and began developing goals for herself, especially developing a desire to gain some kind of equal ground with her sire so she could escape or control his lustful desires as he would more or less use and 'abuse' her when his attentions fell upon her. Her strongest desire above all else, however, was to give herself a strong sense of security as the ever 'expanding' world that was the Vampire, began to worry her a bit. She feared it would envelop her if she did not find a way to possibly keep it at bay or at least empower herself in some manner to better protect or prepare herself against it.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Amber's Sheet</strong><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Physical</span>(put my 5 into this)<br/>Strength: 1<br/>Dexterity: 4<br/>Stamina: 3<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Social</span>(put my 9 into this) (5 freebie)<br/>Charisma: 4<br/>Manipulation: 5<br/>Appearance: 4<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Mental</span>(put my 7 into this)<br/>Perception: 4<br/>Intelligence: 2<br/>Wits: 3<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Talents</span>(Put my 17 into this)<br/>Alertness: 3<br/>Empathy: 4<br/>Expression: 4<br/>Intimidation: 4<br/>Streetwise: 2<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Skills</span>(put my 13 into this)<br/>Etiquette: 4<br/>Performance: 5<br/>Drive: 4<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Knowledges</span>(put my 9 into this)<br/>Linguistics: 3<br/>Finance: 3<br/>Computer: 3<br/><br/><br/><strong>Backgrounds </strong>(2 freebie)<br/><br/>Generation: 5<br/>Resources: 4<br/>Retainer: 2<br/>Herd: 1<br/><br/><strong>Discipline</strong><br/><br/>Presence: 5<br/>Celerity: 2<br/><br/><strong>Virtues</strong>(2 freebie)<br/><br/>Conscience/Conviction: 3<br/>Self-Control/Instinct: 5<br/>Courage: 3<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Humanity</strong>: 6<br/><br/><strong>Willpower</strong>: 8 (5 freebies)<br/><strong>Willpower pool</strong>: 8<br/><br/><br/><strong>Merits/Flaws</strong>(7 freebies)<br/><br/>Unbondable 3 (pts)<br/>Light Sleeper (2 pts)<br/>Enchanting Voice (2 pts)<br/><br/><br/>Languages: English (Native), German, Italian, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Ghouls</strong><br/><br/><br/><strong>Jerome</strong><br/><br/>Jerome is a very large man standing at over seven feet tall and is decently handsome but has a dull mind and is easily manipulated, which played him right into Amber's hands.

Amber 'toyed' with him for many weeks getting him primed for the change and getting him loyal to her. When the change came Jerome became more loyal than even the blood bond can make.<br/><br/>His main purpose is to serve as a bodyguard but sometimes she uses him for sexual purposes.<br/><br/>Jerome although a bit slow is fiercely loyal to his Amber, seeing her as his little angel. He knows all about her promiscuous behavior but he does not care, even though he is Blood Bonded, Amber was pleased to note his behavior goes well beyond even its power. Jerome is always close by, especially when she is having sex with someone, even more so a new man. He is no pervert, only seeing it as his duty to be close at hand should she need him; many times, however, it is Jerome who finds himself in his mistresses bed chambers...<br/><br/><strong>Jerome Character Sheet</strong><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Physical</span>(5 freebie)<br/>Strength: 5<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Stamina: 4<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Social</span><br/>Charisma: 1<br/>Manipulation: 3<br/>Appearance: 2<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Mental</span><br/>Perception: 4<br/>Intelligence: 1<br/>Wits: 3<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Talents</span>(2 freebie)<br/>Alertness: 3<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Brawl: 3<br/>Dodge: 3<br/>Intimidation: 3<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Skills</span><br/>Firearms: 3<br/>Melee: 3<br/>Survival: 3<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Disciplines</span><br/>Fortitude: 1<br/>Potence: 1<br/>Celerity: 1<br/><br/>Conscience: 2<br/>Self Control: 3 (2 freebie)<br/>Courage: 3<br/><br/><strong>Humanity</strong>: 5<br/><br/><strong>Willpower</strong>: 6 (3 freebie)<br/><strong>Willpower Pool</strong>: 6<br/><br/><strong>Merits/Flaws</strong><br/>Huge Size (4pts) (merit)<br/>Speech Impediment (1 pts) (flaw)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Danielle </strong><br/><br/>Danielle is a young woman whom used to work for Amber helping her with finances and the like.

The dance floor is very large easily able to hold much of the clubs capacity. In the kindred part of the club the style is more subdued. There is an area also for feeding upon fresh Kine, but should that be an option for a vampire there is blood on tap.<br/><br/>"

The kingdom consists of only a single vast underwater city sharing the same name. The city of Mu’urth-Doriel is virtually unheard of by commoners most of the time, and does not have much of a role in world politics. In fact, Mu’urth-Doriel is a city that is publicy is hated and despised by other rulers. Adventurers and passing traders almost never stop by Mu’urth-Doriel; it is not because the city is ugly or not attractive, it is actually one of the most wondrous cities you will ever see. The only reason Mu’urth-Doriel is unknown is because its location on the map is on the middle of the Eleryn sea – not an island or anything – right in the middle of the Eleryn sea. When people go to that location, there is nothing there but a reasonably small man-made - or thing-made - settlement built upon what look like tall, looming ancient ruins covered in grime. However, hidden deep beneath those ruins, in fact, connected to them, is the underwater bastion known as the City of the Depths: Mu’urth-Doriel. Surrounded by sandy beaches, sparse tropical forests, and with nothing of note but a number of large ruins where stragglers have settled, no one would have guessed a great underwater city lay beneath the crushing presence of the ocean. </em><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>POPULATION</strong><br/><br/><em>The main population of Mu’urth-Doriel are Nagai – A strange, sleek-skinned serpentine race of aquatic denizens who make the majority of the underwater population, if not all, of the actual city of Mu’urth-Doriel. Above the surface of Mu’urth-Doriel, where the tallest ruins stand out, other races, such as humans, are allowed to settle there as the face of Mu’urth-Doriel, whereas the Nagai themselves see no obligation to greet their visitors. Only the greatest of magicians or the hardiest of swimmers and divers have even managed to glimpse Mu’urth-Doriel itself. As such, more than 90% of the population are Nagai, whereas the 10% or so of the rest are a variety of different land-based races. Nagai resemble humanoid fish in appearance; they have sharp fangs, distinctly blue scales, leathery skin, and personalities considered strange and mysterious by other races. When communicating with their own race, they exude subtle pheromones that inform the other of their intentions and emotions; however, this does not work very well on other races, only giving them a distinctly soothing and pleasurable feeling that might entice some into a rut. Due to this, a Nagai tends to state their intentions when they speak to a member of another race, for example, ‘Curiosssity: I do not know what it isss that you are sssaying”, or “Vague Interessst: What isss thisss object you ssspeak of?”</em><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>TRADE</strong><br/><br/><em>As would be expected of an underwater city of near-mythical proportions, the main exports of Mu’urth-Doriel are rare sea-based objects not found anywhere else in the world.  Things such as giant pearls, precious works of art such as exquisite carvings and pottery, and even rare aquatic beasts that could only have been caught by skilful Nagai hunters. The most valued produce of the Nagai, however, is a strange underwater ore known as Mu’Zhan, nicknamed ‘Sea-Metal’. Mu’Zhan is an extremely strong ore that, in the hands of the best Nagai smiths, can be molded into exotic forms of weaponry highly valued by the wealthy and powerful. Although the Nagai produce things that a person might think are far more wondrous than anything the surface-dwellers have to offer, they are, unexpectedly, eager learners and scholars in their own right. The Nagai import anything they wish to study in-depth, such as books and artworks from the surface, and even things as ordinary as wheat. However, the things Nagai value above all are artifacts considered uncommon even up on the surface, such as the magical jewels from the Kingdom of Velar, and the land-based ores from Belka.</em><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>CULTURE</strong><br/><br/><em>The history of the Nagai is long and complex. Some believe the Nagai were originally human Mages who delved too far into the elemental magics and ended up transformed into Nagai. Whatever they are, the Nagai have their own religion, culture, and a strict code of achievement. A Nagai, male or female, is always considered a child unless perform some great achievement or bring something back to Mu’urth-Doriel that is of worth or value. Being avid learners, these achievements can be as simple as talking to a merchant and learning a bit about the surface-dwellers, or something as titanic as forging a powerful sword that proceeds to be used by a legendary warrior. To the Nagai peoples, the blood of the Royal Family, which grants them a much higher lifespan than any other race, gives them the appearance and status of Gods. The Royal Family are venerated as Gods come down to the depths of the ocean to rule over them. </em><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>GOVERNMENT</strong><br/><br/><em>Mu’urth-Doriel is ruled by a puppet monarchy. The ones really in power are ministers and officials who are engaged in an endless deadly game of internal politics, whereas the ancient Royal Family hold no real authority save for bearing the love and admiration of their people. The Sea-King Avarcullas is thus under pressure from all sides by his ministers, who vie with each other for the support of their King, which would give them great power and control over the populace and hence further their own business interests. It could be that one of the reasons that the Nagai don’t like meddling in world politics is because their own politics can barely be kept in check.</em><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>ARMY</strong><br/><br/><em>Perhaps one of the strangest and most fearsome things about Mu’urth-Doriel is their military. Their military is not particularly large or mighty, but they have overwhelming benefits. Since the Nagai don’t fight to defend anything but their homeland, they need only stick to the seas or their lone surface settlement at all times. Nagai are very fast swimmers, breath underwater, and are a nightmare to fight near any body of water. They have no navy – they can swim great distances, and have no need of ships – but they have the ability to tame and ride fearsome creatures of the sea capable of wrecking any ship. </em><br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>CORSAIRS</strong><br/><br/><em>Mu’urth-Doriel, despite being unknown and failing to forge any real alliances or pacts, has been in no danger from bandits, hordes, or pirates for the past few decades. The reason is the same reason the other Kings and Queens of the realm hate the Nagai – that they see them as consorting with evil. Mu’urth-Doriel has always been left untouched by pirates, in fact, some pirates even revere the Nagai as mortal Gods of the realm. These pirates are known as corsairs, seen as the mercenary sea-raiders of the Nagai. In fact, corsairs have been known to throw the name of the Nagai around and destroy settlements of other nations in the name of Mu’urth-Doriel while the Nagai themselves have absolutely nothing to do with it. There is a simple reason why the scourge of the realm do not generally tend to touch the Nagai – The fear of being struck from below by an entire nation of aquatic monsters is more than enough to dissuade most pirates from attempting any sort of hostility, and bandits would wonder how in the world they’re supposed to reach an underwater city they couldn’t breathe in.</em><br/><br/>---<br/>"

The Sword of the Elders is appointed by the full council assembly and the highest obtainable military rank of the Nagai; such a rank is considered to hold great prestige.  Larvatii’oz was born into a poor Nagai family; his father was a scholar, but he did not do well with his writings. Though his father tried – in vain – to teach Larvatii’oz the way of the scholar, Larvatii’oz showed no affinity for a way with runes. Rather, the young Nagai proved himself a potential warrior. After his father died, Larvatii’oz inherited what little was left of the family fortune with no real family – they had all died before his father. As such, Larvatii’oz sold the property and set off a journey to improve himself. The unknown Nagaii went from being a completely unheard-of sellsword to a powerful and feared warrior in the underworld. Eventually, Larvatii’oz participated in the Grand Tournament held in the honor of the Sea King. Wanting to prove himself to a worthy master, Larvatii’oz tried to enter the tournament, but commoners like him were not welcome. Only noble warriors were allowed into the fray. Unwilling to let up the opportunity, he stole a noble’s armor and wore it to the tournament. Eventually, he was victorious, but guards rushed into the ring announcing he was an imposter and the real noble had been found. At this, he threw his helmet to the ground and declared, “I am Larvatii’oz! Born a commoner and raisssed in hardship! Yet, I have besssted all you pretentiousss noblessss, and I am to be arresssted? Sea King, your humble ssservant asssks for your judgment!” Impressed with the audacity of the upstart warrior, the Sea King Arvarcullas VII made Larvatii’oz an honorary noble of his line. Larvatii’oz shot up the ranks of the army, and was brought into the presence of the Sacred Council of Elders that so despised him when he first appeared, and appointed the Sword of the Elders. Ironically, in spite of his title, Larvatii’oz is in fact the Sword of the Sea King, as he feels no loyalty towards the Elders who loathed him and feels indebted towards the Sea King who willingly took a stranger under his wing. </em><br/><br/><strong>Warrior Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Fighting:</strong> Impressive<br/>-   <strong>Tactics:</strong> Capable<br/>-   <strong>Strategy:</strong> Capable<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong>Name:</strong> Saedalar'sevi<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Nagai<br/><strong>Rank:</strong> Elder Lord of the Sacred Council of Elders, Most Faithful Servant of the Serpent God<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Cunning, Greedy, Vicious<br/><strong>Biography:</strong> <em>Born into a wealthy family that has been in power for the last century, Saedalar’sevi is the Elder Lord – an Elder of Elders, in short.

As such, from lowest to highest, the ranks are Pommel, Hilt, Guard, Blade, Edge, and Tip. Interesting to note, the rank known as ‘Scabbard’ is the equivalent of a specialist protector, such as the Palace Guards. As second-highest in the standard rankings, Ulrasha’doi is of rather high standing. Ulrasha’doi was part of a patrician family; her family wanted to marry her off to a potential suitor, but were unable to do so as she was seen as undesirable, brash and tomboyish. She also had a great love of weapons, and would train relentlessly by day, study the arts of war by night, and be enraptured whenever a military parade was run. Her potential was seen one day by the Nagai who would eventually become the Sword of the Elders, Larvatii’oz; he paid a personal visit to her parents and beseeched them to let her pursue her chosen path. She joined the army shortly after, true of heart and loyal to Larvatii’oz, and to that end, the Sea-King, whom Larvatii’oz worships reverently.

From amongst the barrier reefs and the island cliffs, shadows darted swiftly here and there, with faintly glowing serpentine orbs flashing as the figures moved about in the turbulent waters. Several of these shadowy figures circled the ship's half-submerged hull, their scaled bodies glistening as light was reflected off them; an unspoken message was passed amongst the creatures, one of whom broke away from the group and dived even deeper into the depths, towards a vast twinkling city in the distance - presumably to inform his superiors that an unknown entity had come, seeking berth upon the surface-island.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, back upon the small island itself, there was a great hustle and bustle as the large ship approached. While any other port would've been alarmed by the appearance of a possible pirate vessel, these honest folk did not seem to mind, or even be afraid of the incoming ship. It was common knowledge amongst those who traversed the Eleryn that should they dare to touch land marked by the Serpent God himself, a terrible wrath would be brought upon them that no sailor would dare risk - pirate or no. Hence it was with great confidence and a lazy calm that the sailors prepared for the ship's docking into the harbour and started calling out orders to one another. A distant lighthouse built out of a ruined tower started flashing the common ship signals to indicate it was safe to dock; faint voices in the distance, unmistakably human, called out, ""Oyez! Oyez! Ship doc-kiiing!""<br/><br/>There wasn't a single one of the famed water-dwelling reptilian folk in sight.<br/><br/>"

It was early morning, so the sun had not yet fully risen in the sky and the crowds of shoppers hadn't gathered yet.

Now he was trapped! Or so they thought...<br/><br/>Khahir skidded to the right, ducking into a narrow dead-end alley between two buildings. The guards followed, closing in on their quarry at last. But Khahir was literally two steps ahead of them. Turning to face one wall of the alley, the agile fugitive ran at it. His momentum carried him three steps up the wall, then he turned to the side and shot out his arms and legs. The walls of the alley were so close together, one could spread their arms and touch each wall.

Yong was his mentor, and they had developed a good friendship over the course of many business negotiations.<br/><br/>His deep auburn eyes opened with a rush, and his heart beat sped up so fast he thought it might pound a hole through his chest. He saw only blackness at first, then the fuzzy outline of two walls, which then cleared into the image of solid stone stretching on either side of him. Before he could adjust to what he saw before him, he heard the voice in his head. He breathed in heavily, his mind fighting to stifle the panic in his heart, panic that became fueled by confusion.<br/><br/><em>What sort of prank is this? Where am I?</em>As James looked around, he finally glanced up, noting the expanse of white rock above him, dwarfed by the open sky above that. The effect was dizzying, causing him to lean up against one of the large stone walls for support. This couldn’t be real…It was like something out of a movie, or from a story…a myth. This sort of thing just didn’t happen. Unfortunately, it was much too real to be a dream. He could feel the cool air on his skin, the dust clinging to his disheveled hair. He felt the rapidness of his own heart, and the very true fear that seemed to rise from his heart and stick in his throat like a rock.<br/><br/><em>Master Adrian Mizuho</em>, he formed the image of what the name would look like in his head. He knew he had never heard it before, but decided to commit that name to his memory. The voice had been too vivid, too clear to be from his own mind. Well, unless he was hallucinating. James didn’t have a known record of hallucinations, so he operated under the assumption that what was happening was very real. As the more logical part of his brain took over, his heart beat began slowing. He had to focus. Panicking would only get him killed. He looked himself over. There were no signs of injury. His clothing was the same as the last moment he remembered…a crimson shirt, made of a suede-esque material with buttons running up along the center of the front, a pair of dress slacks, and matching dress shoes. Despite his attire, it had been fit for some looseness on his frame. He was not a man to sacrifice perfect looks for comfort. He cursed himself for not having his weapons on him. There had been no reason to, he was in the comfort of one of the largest suites in China, surrounded by body guards as a honored guest. Apparently, not even Yong’s hand could offer protection from everything. James sighed, and picked a direction.

These tribes engaged in countless battles for dominance, locked in what seemed to be an everlasting stalemate, until the day a young, ambitious, chief was born. His name was Velar and his plan was simple, to take the battle to the huts of chiefs instead of the open field. His weapon of choice, words. Before long young Velar was convincing many of the chiefs of the advantages of alliances and how he’d kneel before each one as he made promises he knew he’d couldn’t, and wouldn’t, keep. It was like this that he set them against each other and, with the skill of a master puppeteer, played the chiefs into sacrificing their men in meaningless battles as he discretely mustered his own forces. It was a flawless plan but Velar didn’t count on one thing, the chiefs doing a little of their talking of their own. And so, while he thought himself to still be in control, the chiefs began a series of fake skirmishes at the behest of the wordy chief, bringing him the news he craved by reporting of the massive losses suffered in each battle until finally Velar struck.<br/><br/>Needless to say, he was trampled by the many “dead” men of the chiefs he thought he’d fooled, their combined might making it more of a slaughter than a real battle; a fact which didn’t escape their notice. And so, after Velar’s hanging, the Council of the Chiefs was born, with a single agreed upon king elected each year. As thanks for his inadvertent strides in uniting the tribes, the kingdom was named Velar.<br/><br/>Peace reigned for the next couple of hundred years with the chiefs beginning to rely more on shows of power, wealth and diplomacy, to express their tribe’s superiority, than battle. This in turn brought attention to a once feared power, that of witches… Where they were once burned these powerful females were gradually granted more influence as their grandiose displays of magical aptitude became the stick with which to measure a people’s superiority. Chiefs began to desperately seek to turn the more powerful ones to their side, offering treasure, men and authority as incentive, with the witches asking for more each time. Soon it was beginning to become difficult for the people to establish exactly who was in charge; the chiefs or the witches.<br/><br/>A young, yet peculiarly white-haired, witch thought it was obvious however. <br/><br/>Named the white fox for her odd colored hair and devious mind, this woman was intent on ousting the chiefs of old and yet, despite their current power, she knew the witches would require something more before they could assume complete control. And so she started researching the source of their power, using the resources given by the chiefs to support her work.<br/><br/>It was only after many years that she finally found her answer…<br/><br/><em>This part of history appears to have been taken from the archives of Velar...</em><br/><br/>The battle was short lived in the end, with the witches relying heavily on the queen’s stone to empower their own army while simultaneously weakening the chiefs’. Meteors fell from the sky as the ground cracked under enemy soldiers, swallowing hundreds of men into a fiery abyss. The battle seemed well in hand until the screams started to erupt from both sides, the witches losing control of the energies as they tore through men and women on both sides. Gradually the chaos escalated until… nothing. Within a second an unnatural quiet fell over the field as everyone, without warning, suddenly froze, becoming like statues across the battle ground. The sky darkened over the silent chess board as the white fox, alone, wandered passed both friend and foe alike.<br/><br/>Nobody knows what happened during that time but all recognize it as the beginning of the curse…<br/><br/>Upon awakening little thought was given to the event, with the chiefs summarily executed to quash any chances of uprising. The witches then gathered to form “The Council”, a system similar to the chiefs’ where they agreed to share power, splitting the lands equally amongst themselves. The White Fox received the least from the deal, thanks to the strange occurrence and discovery of the curse. Still, despite knowing that she might be responsible, she felt cheated and so, gradually, while not ending her research into the curse and Queens Stone, she started to work against her colleagues. As the years passed she formed alliances, backstabbed and utilized her advantage of time to establish a foothold and regain that which she believed was rightfully hers. Finally as those who were at the battle died off, the White Fox crowned herself queen Valen. <br/><br/>Her first act was to rename “The Council” as “The Council of Mages”, beginning Velar’s climb to magical prowess. <br/><br/>While Valen dabbled in politics at first, she quickly grew bored of it and retreated into her labs, leaving the running of the kingdom to the newly established mages guild. She’d still surface occasionally, to remind those of who ruled or entertain herself, but otherwise the Queens Stone had become her entire world. <br/><br/>It was only at the birth of her first daughter that the people started to wonder who was in charge, the princess adding a variable which left the mages shifting in their seats. Valen fixed this by assigning the princess a province, giving her power over her own people while leaving the running of the capital to the mages. Still the problem grew as another daughter was born and another and another, each being given their own lands and people. Velar was running out of land for princesses.<br/><br/>It was the lack of land which sparked the first War of Daughters as a greedy princess marched her troops out to conquer her sister’s province, only to be spurred on by the inaction shown by the council of mages and queen. This had the other daughters up in arms and before long a full blown civil war was at hand, the queen only stepping in when the one who started it threatened the capital itself. Valen cleansed the land of all her daughters that time, using the event to this day to remind her children not to cross her or force her away from her studies.<br/><br/>Since then there has only been up to a third war of daughters, the last being ended by Kayla negotiating a peace between her sisters.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">The Curse (Valen’s Folly):</span></strong><br/>Every month those who stand under the banner of queen Valen are subject to a perverted transformation known as the “Black Week”, ""Turning"", or for the wordy, “Week of Endless Night”. There is no escape from the curse once it grabs you and it touches every bit of land that is deemed to be under Valen’s rule. It twists and contorts, making the people look and behave like orcs, demons, or ogres as the land becomes savage and burnt. The dead crawl from their graves as the skies turn ashen and even buildings are afflicted, becoming as black as night as shops turn into dark forges while homes begin to resemble structures of war. It is a horrific time and the scary part is that everyone retains a level of consciousness, simply one that wallows in blood-lust, hate, jealousy and any other feelings they may have held deep within the darkest recesses of their minds. Nobody is exempt from it, with even the queen and her daughters changing into towering monsters, creatures or demons.<br/><br/>This curse has had a heavy impact on the life of the people of Velar. It has hardened them to losing loved ones as each Black Week has the chance of stealing those they cherish most, and it has fuelled their need for beauty and refinement; almost as if to compensate for the darker side of their nation. It is also why cremation is favoured over burials as many fear their families or friends might rise from their graves during the Turning, leaving them restless and in limbo. As for those who do die during the time, nobody knows what happens to them as not even bodies are found afterward. All some can do is pray that they found their way to the ancestors and finally live in peace, away from the horrors of the curse.<br/><br/>Another aspect of their nation which the curse has shaped is their reliance, or lack thereof, of wood. It is strange but while living trees or plants return to their state before the curse, wood itself does not. It was once theorized that it was because they were living but this hypothesis was tossed the moment another mage noted that paper too returned to normal. Either way, this has forced the people to adapt as they use magic, steel and a little ingenuity in the place of wood. Still, no matter how clever, they may never amass a fleet or be able to field a regiment of archers. Even their siege is lacking thanks to the handicap, with stone trebuchets and catapults being possible but not exactly the most reliable for long, or even short, distances. Plus, they were so clunky that it made the thought of just hammering at the walls of enemies with bare fists even sound like a better idea. <br/><br/>With such massive hurdles created for times during war, the people of Velar are still surprisingly warlike. While enjoying diplomacy and trade, they know that the curse will likely in the end force them into battle. And so they wine and dine as much as possible with those they engage with on diplomatic levels, all the while keeping their troops at the ready behind them, weapons gleaming. They do try to sway other nations from approaching them during the Black Week, sometimes with the truth and sometimes with feeble excuses, but in the end rely on their military to play the diplomat should things go wrong; the one part of their culture that never fails them, curse or no. Their military borders on being almost as appreciated as their mages, even if the people on the ground level rarely see the elites.<br/><br/>During the curse the entire population of Velar practically becomes the military, with the many demons, monsters, orcs, giants and ogres, making up for in strength what they lack in tactics. Still loyal to whomever they served before the Black Week, these hordes rally behind their leaders to charge mindlessly at their enemies; normally other velerian royalty and nobility. Meanwhile those who played the role of peasants, servants or slaves become the minions who forge the dark armour and weapons used by the hordes. The slaughter continues until the “Awakening”, the end of the Black Week, after which the people take stock of their losses and briefly mourn the lost before continuing on with their lives.<br/><br/>The Awakening sees a return to the green plains, thick forests and open skies. Things quickly get back up and moving soon after with the transition from the Black Week to the Awakening happening so often that it was almost natural to simply forget and work. At times the change back to normalcy is so sudden that it has people wondering if it ever even happened. The transition is also made easier by the fact that velerians live with their colleagues as opposed to their loved ones, although this hardly matters for those outside the kingdom.<br/><br/>Any Velerian that is outside the nation during the time of the Turning will change unless in possession of a specially created gem (Soul Stone – Incredibly difficult to make) which will instead have them grow exceptionally weak and wake each day to extreme nausea. These were created in an attempt to maintain relationships as well as engage diplomatically with nations far from the kingdom. Those outside the nation within a mile of a Power Stone are afflicted by drowsiness the entire time, each monthly phase becoming increasingly crippling in various ways the longer they are away from the aura of the queens stone (or a sister stone), regardless of the Soul Stone. Some might even begin to show signs of the curse if away long enough; like glowing red eyes or hands shifting into claws.<br/><br/><strong>Quick Additional Note:</strong><br/><br/>The Black Week essentially consists of three types of cursed; undead, monsters and demons.<br/><br/>The undead encompass the re-animation and at times melding of those who have died as well as the twisting of some of the more powerful mages into liches. Awoken in the form of shambling corpses the undead vary from plain or shoddily armoured skeletons, with the odd piece of decayed flesh dangling from their bones, to your typical zombies with their rotting and missing limbs. Mostly just meat for the grinder in battle, it is the liches which many should watch out for. Those who become these powerful casters are capable of devastating spells relating to ice and death as well as have the ability to summon more undead to the battlefield. These liches as well as their minions are weak against fire. The undead frequent areas such as catacombs and graveyards.<br/><br/>The monsters include the more beastly and wild of the cursed, from your typical werewolves, a carnivorous and ferocious fighter with a vicious maw and deadly claws, to the humanoids, such as the muscular and pig-snouted orcs or towering, heavily built, ogres and giants. Unlike the undead who represent the cold and indifferent however these creatures also embody much of the nation’s more carnal desires, their caves and forests swarming with beautiful dryads, and burly, animalistic, minotaurs. The woods come alive during this time, with creeping vines and weeds threatening to drag off victims into the clutches of the creatures that lie within.<br/><br/>The demons are a little more complex as they come in a variety of forms, many epitomising aggression, lust and hate with others more a picture of illness and suffering. They’re generally an amalgamation of that which tempts or causes human pain and normally resemble such. Those that embody pestilence for example are usually hunched and feeble; their skin charred and surrounded by flies, with an ability to spark rampant disease throughout a community by infecting just a single dweller. They’re grotesque and yet just a single type of many demons. There are also those which tempt, such as the lithe and sculpted succubus or incubus. These hypnotic beings come in a variety of shapes and sizes but generally appear as human; believed to be past lovers of the queen’s daughters. Finally you have your more typical demons; hairless and hulking, ashen-winged, brutes, with curled menacing horns, glowing eyes and bulging muscles or small mischievous imps. Their forms differ from one to the next but not by much. These demons live in the twisted structures of the Velerians. <br/><br/>Out of all the creatures, minus the detached undead, there is one prevalent feeling which comes to the fore during the turning. Manifested through the suppression of sexual activity in the empire, these beings live for nothing more than to fulfil an appetite of wanton desire. Hidden behind the battling hordes, forges and prisons, the dryads and minotaurs can be found scattered throughout the twisted forests while the demons of desire drag unwilling participants to their temples of pleasure. Engaged in an endless orgy, even these places can be fatal, with many simply not built for a week of non-stop gratification or the overly sized cocks of the minotaurs, greater demons, incubi and some of the rarer succubi; a few of the creatures even sporting dual cocks. These places of lust include some other specimens as well from the amorphous tentacle creatures to others that simply boggle the mind. <br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Queens Stone:</span></strong><br/>Both a necessity and luxury, without the Queens Stone the kingdom would crumble. This object of power, shaped like a perfectly cut blue-diamond – or ruby red if the Black Week, is held deep within the capital’s castle, in a chamber only the queen knows of. Few have seen it and fewer have used it, with most having to be content with making use of the mage stones.<br/><br/>Also created in the capital, by extracting the excess essence which flows from the queen’s stone, are the mage stones. Like the Queens Stone, they too change colour depending on the week, from their bright blues to a deep ruby red, again like the Queens Stone. The gems are a series of power amplifying gems which can give even the most inept peasant a touch of magic or assist the most adept wizard in casting even more powerful spells. They’re also useful for making a spell a little more persistent; for example, a spell of light on a shard can have it glowing for millennia. They use them in this way all around the kingdom to strengthen walls, imbue weapons with magic, light up lamp posts, etc. A mage stone’s function is determined, forever, by the first spell cast with, or on, it.<br/><br/>Supposedly all craftsmen hold a mage stone, allowing them a touch of power with which to use on their work. This means that nearly everything from the simplest object to the most complex in the kingdom has a bit of magic, giving it anything from a lengthier life span to making it sturdier, etc. The only requirement for this magic is that it must be within the far-reaching vicinity of a stone of power (Queens Stone, Sister Stone or Power Stone) or it will wither and wane over time. A ritual technique involving music has been deduced to change massive gemstones of a certain quality into Sister Stones to the Queens Stone, allowing the formation of settlements far from the previous aura the Queens Stone allowed. A gem meeting these standards however is something the Velerians do not currently possess.<br/><br/>Much smaller versions (Power Stones) held by commanders of military arms can maintain weapon and armour strength of their troops during campaigns extending beyond the aura of the Queens Stone. Gems suitable for these uses are extremely valuable and not found locally (the nation currently only has two).</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Culture:</span></strong><br/>Velar is a nation whose people constantly strive for perfection, with everyone from the smallest child to the highest mage competing for greatness. It is an egotistical land where flesh and bone is cut and mutilated for purposes of vanity, soldiers and warriors are slaughtered in the name of pride, or entertainment, and mages will sacrifice all they have simply to outdo their neighbor. Even a child’s life has no worth if seen as detrimental to the empire with a group known as Seekers hunting down newborns for the mage’s guild, or to toss to the fire should there be a risk of overpopulation. In this land of perfection, if you lack any ability from that of a warrior to spell caster, then your life is practically forfeit in the eyes of the Children of Velar; the name given to those who have proven themselves worthy of citizenship. In the end, not a single diseased or underprivileged person walks the streets of Velar.<br/><br/>This isn’t true of the entire nation however with patches of kindness being seen under the banners of your more benevolent higher-born; the title given to those of royal or noble blood. There have been times when the empire has even had to enforce migration restrictions simply because of the pull many of the more compassionate nobles and royalty have. Within these fairer lands workers live simple yet fulfilling lives, spite and jealousy is nigh nonexistent and everyone helps in uplifting the land as a whole.<br/><br/>Putting the grimmer aspects aside, Velar is a culturally rich nation with an emphasis placed on refinement for even the lowliest servant or simplest recruit. Grand balls, festivals and feasts are commonplace and act as tribute to the ancestors, with all manner of scrumptious delicacies lining the buffets. Velerians attending such events wear the finest of gowns and robes with the designs normally ranging from local to exotic, or revealing to conservative. These occasions are also known for their variety as they range from your loud events, full of song, dance, and mind numbing substances, to your quiet get-togethers with elegant wines, tea and civil company. When greeting new nations Velerians are always quick to show this side of their people before anything else, going as far as to invite them directly into the palace and shower them with gifts. Some say that, upon discovering more of Velar, this is simply an attempt to drown out the nastiness of the curse.<br/><br/>One thing Velar has always encouraged is trade, with its people almost fanatical when it comes to acquiring items from afar, such as art to add to their collections, food which tantalizes, or anything else which grabs them as strange, new and wonderful. Like most of Velar however even their trade has a darker side as their scholars and mages seek out body parts while others deal in slaves. There is even a market for babies, demonic artifacts or limbs and curses, amongst other gruesome items. Some would likely shiver, faint or lose their lunch should they see some of the laboratories of Velar, with there even being a place known as the “Living Edifice”, a lab deep within the castle with walls that actually beat and pump blood, its sinewy surfaces like that of melded muscle and skin. Only Council Mages and royalty may enter this room of living tissue and blood. Thrill seekers and lovers of the macabre should not despair however since the Arena is open to all and its fights can be most gory depending on the number, or sometimes size, of the creatures and combatants. <br/><br/>Some might say that Velar has such loose morals because it is a godless land but in essence it simply believes in free religion with only one catch, all must pay homage to the ancestors; no matter their beliefs. The ancestor a family, noble house, or even individual picks to honor can be practically anybody, even some random drunk who just died on the street. The only qualification for ancestral status is that the person being honored as an ancestor must be dead. Naturally there are those who are frowned upon for choosing a silly ancestor, unless they have some deeper meaning for it or can at least explain their reasoning. Other beliefs are that blood related ancestors bring luck and heroic ones even more so, but most in the empire simply see it as a way to honor their people as a whole by paying homage to those who came before.<br/><br/>Even an outsider of Velar can be picked as an ancestor as they respect skill more than anything (even birth place), feeling that those who have mastered their art, whatever it may be, are worthy of being honored. It all circles back to their love of perfection. And since they live with so many who have been magically sculpted to look like lizard-folk, elves, etc, they hardly hold ones appearance as a determining factor for respect. It’d be almost hypocritical considering the monsters they themselves become at the turn of every month. Not even the manner with which one holds themselves matters as long as they are skilled at what they do. To put it bluntly, in many ways, while perhaps a bunch of stuck up snobs at times, Velerians are quite tolerant of other nations.<br/><br/>They’re also quite tolerant of behavior, especially considering some of their own royalty’s sexual habits are questioned by the more conservative of the nation. Most simply complain because they believe it unfair however. The reason for this is because Velerian authorities tend to control the sexual habits of the masses to an extent as they are constantly worrying about overpopulation. Unfortunately, the people of Velar seem to be unnervingly fertile with shorter gestation periods than most races. Some of the barbarians and other nations which know them joke on how all it takes is to brush by a valerian woman to become a father. The nobles and royalty are free to do as they please however as well as have as many children as they wish; those who bed princesses becoming Courtiers, princes of a sought. Some of the higher-born abuse this privilege much to the chagrin of the sexually suppressed velerians. Of course, many of the citizens rarely listen to this law, instead choosing to resort to magical poultices and other forms of birth control.<br/><br/>Still, while the citizens make use of their free will to express dissatisfaction with the higher-born, a level of respect is maintained. The nobles and royalty after all have a strange effect on the people under them, with many usually taking on the traits of the leader they currently stand under. Nobody can explain this phenomena but it makes governing a lot easier for the many leaders who sit on top. <br/><br/>Like many Nations, Velar is ruled by a queen, but unlike the others, she rules more by suggestion than command. And while she has the right to overrule orders given, it is rarely put into use. The fact of the matter is that beyond using the empire to sustain her research, she doesn’t seem too interested in the politics of the kingdom. Below the queen sit several other groups; some might say the true rulers of the empire. <br/><br/>The first one is the Council of Velar, a group of noble heads and princesses, born into power, with a single yearly elected representative acting as their voice. This representative, also known as the Countess, has to be female and plays the role of leader to the capital and its forces. While in power she is forbidden to use the capital’s soldiers to march against her personal enemies, is in charge of signing off, or vetoing, recommendations by the nobility and tends to matters of diplomacy as well as expansion. <br/><br/>Next, or possibly equal, in power is the Council of Mages. This is a group of some of the most powerful spellcasters in the kingdom, called Councilors, with their leader being elected just as the Countess but within the span of three months instead of yearly. The elected head of the Council of Mages is known as the Archmage and represents the interests of all the spell casters in the empire. The Archmage also acts as the advisor to the Countess and plays the part of a non-biased judge for the court cases of the nobility. Capable of halting the production of armor and weapons or withdrawing magical support from a war, this Council is highly respected. <br/><br/>Finally there is the Council of Masters, the representatives of the guilds of Velar of which every person is a part of. There is a guild of blacksmiths, farmers, ice mages, fire mages, etc, each caring for those under it while regulating prices throughout the kingdom. The people of Velar all live in communal buildings assigned by the guilds, meaning that, unless you’re royalty or nobility, you don’t live with your loved ones but rather those you work with each day.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/whitemage.jpg)<br/>There is also one other group that sits under the queen, one rarely spoken of; the White Mages. Created through the Ritual of Bonding these mages have been infused with their cursed sides, giving them the ability to control the energies of the unknown. It is a painful process and one forbidden to the princesses as some believe it changes the caster. Those who undertake the ritual normally seem different, with friends and colleagues supporting this fact. The strange thing is that all white mages appear exactly the same after the ritual, their hair becoming short and white, their pupils growing milky, and a yellow streak running down their right eye and body. Some have tried to remake their appearance but it’s always in vain, with even illusions being dispelled shortly after. Needless to say, all know what a White Mage looks like and none are too eager to make contact. They are the right hand of the queen and can act as not only her eyes but also can channel her, should she choose.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Land and Landmarks:</span></strong><br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/CitadelView.jpg)<br/><br/>At the edge of the velerian kingdom, carved into the Levanos mountainside, sits the castle of Velar; its balconies lining the precipice as evenly spaced columns and marble balustrades separate those who walk within from the sheer drop into the city below. Many of the royalty and nobility like to stand out on the terraces jutting from the rock as they look out at the kingdom and plains below, their sight unhindered as they survey the lands. In the distance one can see small farms and villages dotting the landscape, with the odd military camp, fort, College of War, or barracks placed far enough so as not to be disturbed. Beyond even these small indicators of civilization however runs the wall; from its beginnings at the foot of the Levanos cliffs it encircles the entire kingdom before plunging back into the mountain range, the green of the thick forests peeking just over its top. Known as the Border Wall this lengthy structure works more as a marker for the territory of Velar than an actual defence.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/WitheringCandle.jpg)<br/><br/>There is only a single entrance to the Border Wall, one easily found as it sits below an old building which stands tall above the trees of the forest. “The Withering Candle” they call it, both a safe shelter and tavern for travellers, traders, adventurers (unfortunately) and diplomats alike. It is one of the most ancient buildings of the kingdom of Velar, predating the tribal kings themselves, and is the only structure which remains unaffected by the curse, a precious gift which it generously bestows upon whoever carries its deed and works within. It is here the people of Velar direct outsiders they wish to engage with, in the hopes that they will still be there at the end of the Black Week. They do this because, like a true candle in the darkness, the Inn seems to repel the cursed ones, leaving all inside little to fear from the ghouls, demons and beasts which lurk at that time of every month.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Daughtan.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/CollegeofWar.jpg)<br/><br/>The Inn isn’t the only wonder of Velar however. Not far from Daughtan, a dark city which sits on the edge of the colder part of the Levanos mountains and over the river which leads to Lake Alequos, is the College of War; a massive fort which rests on the flat peak of a steep cliff. Surrounded by thick forest and far from any civilization, beside the mage’s city, it is here that Velar’s finest are trained, equipped and prepared for war. Nobody beside actual soldiers, recruited mage-summoners and royalty are allowed within its walls, not even nobility, but considering the lack of any luxuries it’s doubtful any would want to enter. It is little more than an assortment of barracks, supply rooms, mess halls, training rooms and yards, with just a few soldier owned shops spread throughout to trade needed items or weapons for what little pay they receive each month. This is likely one of the reasons so many volunteer to fight in the arena, to experience something new.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/ArenaPit.jpg)<br/><br/>The arena, located in the capital city of Veredin, is a massive circular structure of stone, built for the entertainment of the masses and higher-born. It goes by many names, depending on what you think of such amusements, but is officially and simply called “The Arena”. Under its surface lies a series of long passageways, each leading into hundreds of varying rooms and prison cells; it is here where the volunteers, criminals and prisoners are kept and readied for battle. Every fight is different thanks to the ability of mages to summon and twist the climate over the field, at times completely changing the landscape. Add a tale of a battle long past, some summoned creatures, plus the appropriate armour, and suddenly you have the stage set for accurate and particularly bloody re-enactments of actual wars. The winners of such fights receive many prizes from gold to bedding partners, with the very capable prisoners soon living in cells lined with gold, expensive accessories, lovers and sweet tasting delights. Win enough times and some prisoners even go free. As for those who volunteer to fight, they too are showered in riches and glory.<br/><br/>Despite all the excitement and intrigue, it is not outside the capital’s citadel that lies the pride and joy of Velar however but rather in. Hidden behind the amalgamation of jagged rock and castle, running deep into and under the mountain, sits an extensive array of polished marble passages, functioning shops and living quarters; a veritable underground city, one which continues to expand as the gem mines descend ever farther in their search for jewels and ore. With the Queens Stone guarded within, this is almost literally the beating heart of the nation and is home to both the guild and noble houses among other important figures, including the queen. Most of the decisions which affect the kingdom are made here as some of the nation’s greatest minds deal with matters of diplomacy and state. Only soldiers, the higher-born and servants are allowed inside.<br/><br/>Starting from the top of the castle, at the very peak of the mountain, one can find the Pool of Thought, a small lush green park surrounding a large natural pool.  The sounds of birds chirping, trees rustling and gentle babble of water cascading down the rocks, into the pool, creating a soothing atmosphere with which many higher-born lose themselves to contemplate or simply relax. Only a few have ever laid eyes on this retreat of nobles and royalty with but a single Shield Guardian being lucky enough to keep watch on the entrance; a small wooden trapdoor, leading to a narrow and dark staircase, being the only way back into the citadel.<br/><br/>Near the peak of the castle also sits the seat of the numerous councils of the nation, each assigned its own meeting room and headquarters. These underground structures house the representatives of the Council of Velar, Council of Mages, Council of Masters, some of the most powerful and influential people in the entire kingdom. Within these halls the direction and course of the nation is plotted and decided upon before finally being brought to the Queens Chamber; a room decorated with the banners of the councils from that of the nobles, a silver shield surrounded by blue, the mages, a glowing white orb surrounded by black, and the masters, a mighty hammer standing on its handle and surrounded by red. The centre of the room is dominated by a table with intricate elven carvings circling its marble rim and multiple cushioned seats positioned at one end with a throne at the opposite; the throne normally occupied by the countess if the queen is absent.<br/><br/>The Council Chambers lie just above the mage’s quarter, an area which carries some of Velar’s most precious rooms and secrets, from places of learning, such as the Academy of Mages and Great Library, to the wonder of the Eye of Velar. Deep within the castle of the capital sits a circular, windowless, room, its wall of black marble lined by a walkway which gazes down upon a large, swirling blue, orb dominating the centre of the room. Buried midway in carved rock, the mages use this device to survey all within range of the Queen Stone or a Sister/Power Stone, and cast spells if necessary; such as summoning rain for crops. This is the Eye of Velar. None but mages and royalty may enter this part of the castle.<br/><br/>The same can actually be said for the Academy of Mages as it too is only open to mages and royalty, its hallowed halls of learning leading to rooms of both delight and terror, or even simple learning; such as the academy’s libraries, lecture halls and training rooms. Naturally its literature can’t compare to the Great Library, a room which appears nothing more than a spiralling walkway of books digging deep into the earth, but it still has an impressive array of magical texts. It is in the Academy where those with magical abilities are sent immediately upon their discovery, with little choice in the matter, giving them the opportunity to study under some of the most experienced mages in the kingdom. The Academy of Mages is also where White Mages are created, those with the power to control demonic energies; this room of plain black rock and a simple stone bed is hidden from apprentices however. Those who complete their studies in the academy are considered free to do as they please the moment they step out the grand steel doors.<br/><br/>The Academy and Great Library however, while awe-inspiring, cannot compare to the last wonder of the castle; a living, moving room. Called the Living Edifice, none know the location of this dark and macabre room. And with its walls of pumping blood, wriggling organs and soft muscle it’s not like many want to. It is known that the room is never in one spot for long however, with quite a number of individuals opening a familiar door only to be greeted by its grizzly interior. If this happens to anyone it is usually suggested that closing the door be the most prudent course to take or risk becoming another victim of the vile experiments within.<br/><br/>Otherwise the citadel of Velar has many simple distractions, from the underground farms, with crops growing on the roof as well as the ground, to the Chamber of Induction; the place light infantry become specialist infantry. The latter can only be admired from the outside however as its doors are closed to all but those involved in the process, such as the mages and light infantry. Its inner halls however aren’t exactly interesting, resembling more of a training facility than anything else with the usual gauntlets, training rooms, etc. Many enjoy gathering and cheering for when the soldiers, who survived the Ritual of Cleansing, first step outside the facility.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/CitadelSecondaryEntrance.jpg)<br/><br/>The final wonder of the velerian castle is, oddly enough, the back entrance. It is one of only two main entrances but is considered special for the incredibly massive statue which stands over it; a depiction of what the velerians call “The Forgotten King”. Of course no real king was in mind when they created it as it was supposed to be more of a metaphor of the kings they left behind, after the tribal war when the witches first came into power. Its entrance is normally sealed shut by two enormous marble and steel doors, small open slits above the entrance allowing the Shield Guardians to keep watch should anything approach from the unfamiliar territory.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Military:</span></strong><br/>Velar’s entire military consists of only three divisions, light infantry, specialist infantry and heavy infantry. There is no siege, no navy, and definitely no archers thanks to the whole curse and wood debacle. There also isn’t a cavalry since they couldn’t find a beast that could withstand the weight of the specialist and heavy infantry, and since the goal of most light infantry is to be promoted to one of the two everyone thought it best if they didn’t become reliant on riding. The velerian military makes up for its faults and losses however by perfecting their melee troops in every way they can. So far this has worked for them as they’ve yet to find another force which can match their specialist and heavy infantry in melee, one-on-one, even without their enhanced armour and weapons; this all ties in with the Ritual of Cleansing.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/LightInfantry.jpg)<br/><br/>First off, the light infantry, also known as the city guard; these men and women make up the bulk of Velar’s forces. They’re about as strong as any regular human army with perhaps only the advantage of their arms and armour, which is both enchanted and imbued with the power of a mage stone. They are exceptionally well trained and have more battle experience than most, thanks to the almost endless wars and skirmishes they engage in, but otherwise are nothing spectacular. Their equipment ranges from pikes to the common shield and sword, with some sporting javelins strapped to their backs if they’ve had the proper training. Outside of battle this division has a range of purposes from guarding the city streets to enforcing the law, scouting, occupying captured areas, as well as escorting traders and other more common folk. They’re also deployed during emergencies.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Dragoon.jpg)<br/><br/>The second division is the specialist infantry, the Blades, also known as Cutters informally or Dragoons formally. This group of soldiers are experts in their field, melee. Chosen from those who have proven worthy in countless battles these troops are light infantrymen who have undergone the Ritual of Cleansing, giving them the speed to outrun cavalry, strength to wear plate so thick it could crush a person and an innate healing ability to add to their resilience. They are both nimble and agile on the field, swiftly dodging and slashing as if their full body armour were naught but a layer of air. These men and women are equipped with an incredibly powerful plate, layered in so much steel that it could have a blade or spear cracking upon contact, even without the magical enhancements. This is to compensate for their lack of offense against ranged combatants by making any projectiles, even steel javelins or those that may be magically enhanced, useless. Their primary weapon on the other hand is a set of twin blades with which they wreak havoc like whirlwinds on the battlefield.<br/><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/ShieldGuardian.jpg)<br/><br/>Finally there is the heavy infantry, the Shields, also known as Shield Guardians or Elite Guard. This division rarely enters combat, working more as a defensive unit for any person or area that the nation Velar deems of extreme importance; excluding princesses. They answer directly to the queen and come in only a small number (They number around fifty currently). These soldiers have proven themselves as both light and specialist infantry as well as have shown their loyalty to the empire. They are the best of the best with no equals in the kingdom. Even their armour is superior to the Dragoons, with specially imported mithril serving as the base metal, strengthening enchantments cast at an actual Sister Stone and an incredible amount of three mage stones imbued into the armour. They’re like mini-titans. They’re generally equipped with a sword and shield of exceptional craftsmanship and enchantment.<br/><br/>With every blacksmith worth their salt having a mage stone, it has ensured that all armour and weapons created within Velar are enhanced with magic, making them more durable and less likely to be damaged. This process is further tempered by the mages who place powerful enchantments in the armour to help it soften or deflect blows or arrows. From there the armour is shipped to either the trade district or the capital. If it’s sent to the trade district it means that it is ready for sale to an outside nation. However, if it’s sent to the capital it means it’s ready for the final phase of preparation before being delivered to the Velar Armoury. This phase includes the imbuing of a trait (inserting of a single mage stone, or multiple if the resources are available) into the armour, giving the soldier who wears it an ability which might help them in their future battles. <br/><br/>The weaknesses of the velerian military, especially the specialist and heavy infantry, lies in their low numbers. With many being killed during the training process, arena fights, the rituals and the countless battles the nation engages in, it leaves the kingdom with only a small amount at any time. Another problem is the outfitting, with gems being required for each piece of armour making it incredibly expensive; coupling this with the unique and resource intensive armour of the Dragoons and Shield Guardians makes for quite a blow to the treasury and slows the outfitting process.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Military Culture:</span></strong><br/>In Velar the people measure a child’s growth by “Ages” in perhaps a different sense to what most know. These ages don’t signify a single year like in other cultures but instead mark a series of years with only the “Time of Choice” indicating a solitary year in the child’s life.<br/><br/>The Age of Birth - From the moment a child is born in Velar they are submerged in magic as Seekers, mages gifted with sensing magic, test them for any innate abilities; with the chances of being sent to the Academy of Mages, straight from birth, a strong prospect should they find any. These Seekers also double as population control with the child being sent to the fire should they deem it without power and simply filling space. Digression aside, the potential soldiers are still part of the regular Velar citizenry at this point.<br/><br/>Age of Learning - At the age of six children are sent to school to learn the simple things like reading, writing, Velerian history and culture, etc. They also take part in activities from fencing and wrestling to games of the mind; whether it helps them later in life is anyone’s guess however. Teachers try instilling discipline and toughening up the kids during this stage even if most aren’t likely to join the military.<br/><br/>The Time of Choice - Many mock the name of this stage of a child’s life, calling it the “Time of Hypocrisy”. Recruitment begins at the age of twelve where young ones undergo mental tests and exercises to check both their stability and magical aptitude. Every citizen of Velar goes through this and, if found to have some ability with spells, are immediately sent to the Academy of Mages. There is no negotiation or choice in the matter. Otherwise, if no connection to magic is found, they are sent off to the College of War. Again, the children and parents have no choice in this. All others, who are deemed to be mentally and physically unfit, are sent to the School of Basics, where they are taught to behave, create and handle a simple weapon; depending on their strengths or weaknesses they can move into minor crafting, mining or servitude classes. <br/><br/>It is at this point, where the young one becomes a recruit of the military, that she or he takes on a somewhat differing culture as they’re split from the rest of Velar.<br/><br/>Age of Proving - An undertaking meant only for the strong of heart and body, and a point where many are ejected right at the start for most physical or mental defects. The College of War is a training facility for future soldiers as well as where they weed out the cowardly and weak. Training begins as soon as one enters the door with rations only being made available for the first year, after which novices are encouraged to hunt for their own. From there they are taught basic balance, survival and fitness exercises as well as how to handle themselves in a fight, both in groups and alone. Hobbies are mandatory during free time with novices taking on dance, martial arts, javelin, fencing, as well as a plethora of other physically demanding activities. <br/><br/>Once ready they are also taught the Art of Loh (pronounced “low”), a style mocked for its name with some referring to it as “Low Fighting”. Here they are taught to utilize every dirty trick in the book when fighting opponents as well as how to make use of their surroundings; it is basically brawling epitomized. Hand-to-hand is extremely common in the College as novices not only participate for amusement and contests but during regular training as well. They are also taught how to control their anger through other styles which put more emphasis on the healing aspects of martial arts, this subsequently adds to their flexibility, agility and balance. After mastery of the body however comes the real fun, mastery of one’s weapon.<br/><br/>The Art of Weapon Mastery teaches students how to treat their weapons as little more than an extension of their bodies, like an extra limb. They are also taught how to handle different situations like fighting against or in groups, using a shield both defensively and offensively, and even how to deal with riders. When beginning this style novices are granted access to the arena, a place where velerians gather for amusement as they watch their fighters pitted against each other in a variety of situations and numbers. The battles range from safe to death matches. <br/><br/>During the final years, spells and illusions begin to play a big part in a warrior’s life. One of the many tests include fighting a mix of illusions and summoned creatures with the novice’s only chance, while in the heat of battle, to use all their senses to pick out the real fighters; this can be done by anything from hearing steps, to spotting tracks on the floor, to even trying to brush a few with their weapons or shield.<br/><br/>After years of perfecting themselves, most graduate into the city guard by the age of nineteen bringing them finally into the Age of Dedication; the years when the people of Velar are finally considered adults.<br/><br/>They are brought back into velerian culture by this time and may take part in the festivals or feasts now as well as partake of the delights the nation has to offer. They’ll lose these privileges however if promoted to a Dragoon or Shield Guardian whereby they’ll be transported back to the barracks or military camps, only to be called out when needed. They still have more freedom than they did in the College of War but not as much as the city guard. Granted they have their perks, like when they’re invited to a festival they’re usually invited as guests and not as protection; like the city guard.<br/><br/>Military culture on a commander’s level is a little less complex with conquered lands being awarded to the victor, giving the princesses some incentive to support the Queen should she request their military aid. This deal is only made when enlisting the aid of royalty and not nobility. They still are expected to pay tribute to the empire (a term used when expanding their borders) but otherwise can use what is left for their own agendas. Those who fall under Valen’s, or a daughter’s, banner are affected by the curse.<br/><br/>Mercy for the enemy is shown on a case by case basis, depending on who is currently in command. Officers however are usually spared for varying reasons. Prisoners of war are treated rather well, by order of the queen, unless it is Morgana or one of her people who is leading the battle and then it’s probably best not to be captured. <br/><br/>Before each battle, if there is time, a command tent is erected where the mages and officers gather to direct the troops. This is normally a priority as it allows them to direct troops through a scrying orb, unless it’s Erin or Lirian in charge; they normally enjoy diving into the chaos of battle and have a bit more experience in manoeuvring troops under pressure.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">The Ritual of Cleansing:</span></strong><br/>This is what every city guard works toward, having their bodies cleansed of all impurities and sculpted to perfection as they are initiated into the most deadly fighting force in Velar; the Dragoons and elite guard. Only those who have honed themselves both physically and mentally have a chance of survival and, even then, around every one out of four have died. It is an excruciatingly painful process, making it no surprise that every man and woman (minus Lirian) to undergo it has fainted. <br/><br/>Those who are put under the knife of the mages of Daughtan are finally acknowledged as children of Velar, a title which only mages were once honored with, as bone becomes like diamond, muscle is amplified to an unnatural level and a small piece of imbued gem is inserted in the chest area to increase healing rates. They then clean up the mess, heal the body and throw in any additional changes based on possible requests by the soldiers. The survivors are then dressed in the armor of the Dragoons and taken to the Chamber of Induction, while those who didn’t make it are sent to the furnace.<br/><br/>In the chamber, a large room filled with training equipment and sleeping mats, soldiers are tested upon awakening to ensure their bodies are healthy and have accepted the changes. They then live in this chamber for the next few months where they learn to control the strength of their new bodies. The ritual is completed when all manage to pass, after which they are paraded through the streets to be given the adulations by the crowds which they are due. These men and women are unnaturally strong, fast and resilient.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">The Queen: Valen (My Character)</span></strong><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Valen.jpg)<br/><br/>A mature sorceress who has seen more than she cares to, it is through her experiments that the curse came into being. She has had many daughters in her lifetime and it is understood that one holds the key to freeing the kingdom of the curse. <br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Mage Skills:</span></strong><br/>Valen was once the most powerful mage in her kingdom but hundreds of years of researching the Queens Stone and its possibilities have left her powers to wane. Not in the sense that some might expect however. She can’t concentrate magic into raw power as she once did, in the vein of throwing fireballs or summoning demons, but instead weaves that which flows around her, tying it to objects, the living, or even unraveling it. This not only makes casting spells on her exceptionally difficult and being around her very dangerous, but it also assists her in creating artifacts of great power (especially when she’s tapping into the energy of the Queens Stone). At the moment she can instill an object or living organism with practically any power, from life to death, love to hate, luck to curse, earth to air, or summoning to banishing. She has no entourage or guard.<br/><br/>The longer she takes to combine a spell with anything, the more persistent it becomes. For example, she could create a ruby which hurls fireballs within an instant but the gem would lose its power just as quick. To attain a more permanent effect she finds it best to work on a project for at least a month, unless the spell is simple and doesn’t contain such explosive energy. <br/><br/>She very rarely imbues or creates anything more powerful than what her current mages churn out for the kingdom, not even for her daughters.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">The Twins: Erin (my character) and Neri</span></strong><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Twins.jpg)<br/><br/>Erin (dark hair) and Neri (light hair), the youngest of the queen’s daughters, with Neri just a few seconds older, are perhaps the most feared of the royal blood. Born during the Black Week, a feat at first considered impossible, the twins have been the victims of preconceived perceptions brought on by rumour mongering, superstition and dark stories, since birth. They were shunned during the Age of Learning, with parents warning their children away from the “dark omens”, and separated and teased during the Age of Proving as Erin attended the College of War while Neri was taken on by the kingdom’s finest scholars, until finally it became clear to the two that all they had and could count on were each other. Twisted more by the cruelty of the gullible than any actual side effects of being born during the Black Week, the two gradually became what everyone thought they were from the beginning, vicious demons wrapped under the skin of velerians. At the turn of the Age of Dedication, when both finally completed their respective training and were handed a land and people by the queen, they immediately combined forces. <br/><br/>With each now carrying a chip on their shoulders the two were quick to show just exactly how vicious and sadistic they could be, marching out to war almost instantly and sparking the Third War of the Blood Daughters. Their campaign against the other nobles and royalty was merciless with the fortunate enemies being crushed under their armies while the unfortunate were dragged off to the dungeons, to partake in the sadistic and often fatal ministrations of the twins. It wasn’t until the unlikely alliance of their siblings that the sisters were finally forced to halt their deadly march, with Kayla forcing them into negotiations. Understanding their hate, the Paladin convinced them that there were better ways to channel their aggression by directing them to the barbarian tribes which surrounded the kingdom. Knowing the battle was lost the twins accepted defeat and at the suggestion of Kayla, started their endless battle against the barbarians.<br/><br/>While the two are both filled with an incredible blood lust and often enjoy sharing in the spoils of war, it is Erin that normally leads the troops while Neri deals with matters pertaining to their lands and people. Some say it is the adventurer and warrior that is Erin who should be the most feared but it is actually Neri, with her silver tongue and sweet charm, which is the most twisted. Lovers of feasts, violence and “other” distractions, the twins have much in common despite their differing worlds, including a vicious and sadistic streak; one that is put to practice often within the dungeons of their current abode, the College of War itself. Even the hardened recruits feel the odd chill as the screams, a testament to their brutality, cut the night and fill the empty yards of the fort. This has started a series of rumours of the twins not only matching but outdoing Morgana as far as sadism is concerned.<br/><br/>The people under Erin and Neri have mixed nicely, with Neri’s scholars, traders and diplomats complimenting Erin’s vicious soldiers. Erin’s charge is the training of the kingdom’s troops while Neri’s is the creation of scrolls, record keeping and trade. A mix of scholars and warriors, the Twin’s exemplify how a keen mind behind a vicious ambition can shake the world.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Warrior Skills:</span></strong><br/>Erin is both a warrior and tactician thanks to her experience in battle and the teachings of Neri‘s scholars. She surrounds herself with historians of war, generals and scrying mages, oft taking the chance to debate scenarios and how one might achieve victory in them; if anything they should dub them the “Party of Bickering”. Neri on the other hand has no mage or warrior skills, enjoying the luxuries of home or a good book over the leading of troops.<br/><br/>-Fighting: Impressive<br/>-Tactics: Capable<br/>-Strategy: Adept</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">The Paladin: Kayla</span></strong><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Kayla.jpg)<br/><br/>Second oldest of the daughters, Kayla was always the one who stood out amongst her sisters, her kindness and noble goals in stark contrast to her siblings. Since birth the one who would be known as The Paladin always seemed to have an inner strength, not afraid of offering a helping hand while retaining a strong enough attitude so as to avoid becoming a push over. At the Time of Choice Kayla was discovered to have magical abilities but rejected the offer to be brought to the Academy of Mages. Believing that people made their own destinies, the young girl set out to make a point and utilized her position as princess to force her way into the College of War instead. While never fairing as well as Lirian or Erin, Kayla still proved herself capable of handling herself in a fight and was quick to earn the respect and admiration of her fellow recruits, even those deemed more skilled. People seemed naturally drawn and loyal to her, giving her an edge when commanding troops.<br/><br/>After graduating from the College of War and being assigned a piece of land by the queen, Kayla immediately set out in teaching her people the virtues which she upheld. Taking the soldiers placed under her wing, she sent them off to the people to learn how to farm, craft and live humble lives. She then expected her people to do the same under the soldiers, showing them the importance of being able to defend oneself. This has made it so every person under Kayla has the ability to pick up a sword and head to war, while none waste their time standing around and being protective as they instead pick up the tools of craftsmen and farmers.<br/><br/>Said to be the most loved of the people, with actual restrictions being placed to avoid migration to her lands, Kayla’s kindness and “true” nobility is well known. She was the only one who was unwilling to participate in the war between her sisters, when it first started, but was critical in establishing the peace they’ve had up until now. She did so by uniting Morgana and Lirian in the most unlikely of alliances to force the Twin’s to stop their campaign, saving many lives in the process. Her people enjoy the simplest luxuries in life, from the rush one feels by helping their neighbour to the reward of a hearty meal thanks to an honest day’s work. They enjoy having an open and amicable relationship with their princess. Those under her also make up the entirety of her army as they switch from being farmers to knights whenever war draws near. Her charge is supplying the kingdom with food.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Warrior Skills:</span></strong><br/>Adept with a sword, Kayla’s both a cunning strategist and tactician.

Since she was young she’s always been a firebrand, picking fights with almost anyone, no matter the size or advantage. A risk taker and lover of adventure, she was the only princess to be assigned a guard so early in her life, to protect her from her own foolishness. Still there were times when she snuck off. At the Time of Choice none had doubts of her destination, with the young girl soon training with Velar’s finest in the College of War.<br/><br/>The most promising of all the recruits, Lirian is still unmatched in the Arena, her status of champion considered insurmountable, especially after the day she was allowed to undergo the Ritual of Cleansing. The youngest to ever go through the ritual as well as the only one to date who never fainted she is now a warrior of both devastating strength and speed, her chosen armour an incredibly thick plate which covers her arms, legs, neck and delicates. For a weapon she uses an amazingly heavy and sharp sword, one which she wields as if it were as light as a butter knife. <br/><br/>A fiery warrior, Lirian holds some of the most seasoned soldiers within Velar, marching her troops out to skirmish with barbarians and tribes on nothing more than whim.

Most of the nation was taken by sleep minus the ever diligent castle's staff who crept quietly from room to room, ensuring everything was in order. Something disturbed the silent halls however as the sound of a swift pace echoed through the dark and lonely passages, the individual disturbing the peace clearly in a rush.<br/><br/>With each hurried step his dark robes rustled around him, the determined stride of brown leather boots on the smooth limestone floors resonating through the spacious halls. As he made his way, he muttered angrily under his breath, the word “Morgana” escaping his lips at several points until he was forced to stop before a pair of large, heavy looking, doors. Made completely of a cream marble they miraculously reacted to his presence by suddenly jolting and gradually sliding open, the figure tapping his foot impatiently before slinking through the gap just as it grew wide enough.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/stuff.jpg)</div>On the other side he found many servants, identifiable by the white aprons and black dresses they wore, going about the night’s chores or chatting excitedly - only to grow quiet in his presence. He couldn’t understand why as he cared little for the shenanigans of the castle’s help.<br/><br/>Finally he came to a stop again; turning on his heel swiftly as yet another large pair of ornate marble doors came into view. Members of the elite guard stood at attention on either side of this one, each dressed from head to toe in an exquisite plate and royal-blue cape, their large steel halberds glistening menacingly as they diligently stared straight ahead. The man couldn’t even tell their gender under the polished armor, or even if there was anyone inside of the similarly statuesque figures that were spaced out all through the castle. Not that it mattered to him; it seemed more like a ceremonial position after all.<br/><br/>With a gloved hand of toughened black leather, he pulled back the hood of his robes, allowing his long, flowing, black hair some freedom as well as exposing his handsome, yet hardened, features.<br/><br/>The guards barely acknowledged him before the doors began to gradually slide open as if upon recognizing him. Waiting this time for them to make way, he stepped confidently into the room, finding himself on a walkway which circled and looked down upon a massive, bright blue, orb, buried deep in the rock below; the Eye of Velar. All along the walkway stood a variety of other mages, peering down at the orb with interest as the images in it shifted.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/mage1.jpg)</div>“I see you’ve deigned to honor us with your presence archmage,” a snide remark broke the silence from the opposite side of the Eye, the source dressed in the flowing blue robes of an ice mage, with little more than his neat white beard visible from the darkness of his hood.<br/><br/>“Shut up Gregor, I didn’t summon this meeting to suffer your infantile jibes,” the man retorted, sweeping his hand angrily as if to swat aside the other mage’s comment. “Of course,” Gregor replied with an exaggerated bow of apology, “Far be it from me to criticize one who pulls us from our important studies only to leave us gathering dust for the past hour.”<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/mage2.jpg)</div>“Why don’t you both shut up,” another mage cut in sharply, her tone impatient as she brushed back a stray hair of her short white bob, “Tell us what this is about Maeven! As Gregor so rightly pointed out, you have wasted enough of our time.”<br/><br/>A nasty smirk crossed Maeven’s features. “ My dear Lithian… listening to you and Gregor, you’d think my position of archmage was merely ceremonial but fine, let us begin,” he started, waving a hand over the orb. Reacting to the unspoken command, the blue of the Eye started to ripple and swirl as new colors emerged, gradually evening out into a clear view of the mines deep below the castle. “I’ll skip right to the meat of the matter. As you all know our excavations uncover fewer gems with each day and our reserves are quickly depleting, and so…”<br/><br/>Maeven glared as Gregor interrupted him with a yawn, the old mage clearly trying to rattle his cage as he waved his hand theatrically, “We all know about the gem crisis Maeven, don’t tell me you came here to bore us with statistics.”<br/><br/>Shooting the elder mage a threatening gaze, Maeven continued, “Well, if the honorable Gregor would allow me time to finish, I can share my plan on how to rectify the problem. As I was saying, before being so rudely interrupted, we are growing dangerously short on gems and it is for this reason that I summoned you all here to propose that Velar, once again, march its troops beyond the wall.”<br/><br/>The room immediately broke out into a low murmur as mages conferred with those beside them or merely expressed shock at such a suggestion. It was Gregor who finally made any real objection however, his incredulous tone silencing the chatter. “Have you gone mad Maeven? You know as well as any of us that the barbarians are too powerful. The nobles and royalty have engaged them on numerous occasion to no avail, including your<em>mistress</em>!” The mocking inflection of that final word, and small smirk, did not escape Maeven’s notice but beside a frown he ignored it for now as he addressed the argument.<br/><br/>“Gregor,” he started with amusement, “Our higher born have hardly taken the barbarians seriously, sending in such pitiful regiments to playfully poke at them. What I am suggesting is rallying the entire nation’s troops and marching out to crush them!” He raised and gripped his fist aggressively as if clenching the world within his fingers, his eyes gleaming with excitement for just an instant before Gregor’s finger-wagging tone quickly extinguished his flame. “Maeven, if you haven’t forgotten, it was the decision of the council which swayed their highnesses from taking such action. Please tell me this isn’t some desperate attempt to win the vote of archmage again at the next gathering, is it?”<br/><br/>Once again moved to a scowl as he folded his arms, the archmage simply glowered as Lithian gave a small cough to draw the council’s attention, brushing her dress of dark indigo as she prepared to speak. “He is, of course, correct Maeven, we did advise that such an action could unite the tribes, causing them to overwhelm us through numbers… However, while I disagree with what you suggest, I do believe steps should be taken. As such I’d like to put forward the counter-proposal of reaching out with diplomats, traders and scouts as opposed to soldiers.” Finished, Lithian simply smiled politely as Gregor gave her an approving nod and Maeven harrumphed.<br/><br/>The chamber at once erupted into a din of bickering as the mages debated the issue until, feeling that there was little more to say, another mage took the stage, this one more grizzled than the rest as he towered over them in his cape of fur; an exposed, barrel-shaped, chest below a full black beard and hair only adding to his intensity. “Enough! All in agreement with the magess,” he boomed, “say aye!” The room was immediately filled with slow thoughtful nods and acknowledgements, with the large one crossing his mighty arms as he stated, “Very well, due to the nature and weight of this issue I assume we’re all in agreement that Queen Valen’s approval should be sought before acting? Good. And with that said… I believe we’re done.” He didn’t wait for a response before turning from the circle and making for the exit, many mages in tow as they hurried back to their experiments and machinations."

Days of traveling through the Valley of Mlova had driven the elven to the point of exhaustion but when they reached the fertile region of Sereth, it was a welcoming sight especially when they stumbled upon the river in which the delegation break camp and rested for a day before continuing their journey southeastward. Along the way the shadow elven party stumbles upon small villages and through some dealings with them, Lady Asharess, head of the Vassalothian delegation were able to come up with an interesting fact of the existent of a rather unique kingdom south of Sereth. The locals called them Velerians and there have been many mysterious and dark rumors about them, if any of them are to be true then this Velerians have much to offer to Vassaloth and vice versa.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/Deathbringer6679/2349589392_056aeed51b.jpg)</div>Lady Asharess did not go alone however as she is accompanied by her trusted companion, the deathguard, Solavir of House Dereinn. He is the currently the captain of the Deathguards in Verilith and he was sent to guard lady Asharess with his life even though he had some reservation of leaving the safety of his lord to someone aside from him, the elite troops of Vassaloth escorting the important figure shows how much the Vassalothian means business and certainly not a power to be trifled with, the witchking sends some of his own personal bodyguards, the feared Deathguard. The deathguard's ornate black armors are carved with intricately cruel and gory markings that incites fear and terror to the enemy, they are the personification of terror in Vassaloth and to have them escort the diplomatic delegation is a show of force indeed.<br/><br/>Soon the party arrived upon a lush forested areas with clearings made for trade caravans and carts to travel. This paved road leads straight to a large clearing up ahead in which the lady Asharess could see thick stone walls lining up across the horizon as far as the eye could see and the gatehouse seems busy with caravans and merchants entering and exiting the gatehouse.<strong>""I am thinking that we have arrived at our destination, mistress?""</strong>, the voice came from the hooded figure donned with heavy platemail armor similar to that of the deathguards but without the helmet and he's riding a steed alongside the carriage. The carriage is currently occupied by the shadow elven sorceress, and behind the sorceress's carriage are the rest of the delegation, twenty blade sisters followed by the witchking's deathguards, the carriage is only meant for the sorceress and was pulled by two desert horses and driven by a human steed driver on the front of the carriage.<br/><br/>The sorceress pulled the curtain obscuring the view into the carriage and peered outside to her trusted companion in response,<strong>""after miles of traveling we finally arrived upon a civilization, and I must say it is a welcoming sight for once...""</strong>, she then lifts off her hand so that the curtain falls back to its place and obscured the view into the carriage once more,<strong>""...let us see what this kingdom has to offer us and what we can offer them in turn""</strong>. There was a delightful tone in her voice when she said that, Lady Asharess has been known to be very adventurous and this mission which was given by her lord is a perfect opportunity for her to explore and learn more about the known world. The delegation from Vassaloth continued on their way towards the gatehouse where their fearsome and intimidating presence seems to attract stares and glances from the nearby merchants caravans and peasants walking by but they all seemed to give way to the delegation.<br/><br/>Suddenly Solavir turns away from the delegation and headed towards a group of peasants carrying sacks of grains with them, the peasants wary of him stopped immediately when Solavir block their way ahead,<strong>""greetings human, tell me, where are we now?""</strong>, the peasants looked to each other before one of the peasant answered him,<strong>""you're at the Withering Candle m'lord, this is the territory of Velar""</strong>. The deathguard nodded, and headed back to the delegation and took his place next to Lady Asharess's Carriage,<strong>""it seems we are in the right place mylady""</strong>.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/Deathbringer6679/warelf.jpg)</div>As soon as they reached the gatehouse, the captain of the deathguard greeted the soldier guarding the entrance of the gatehouse. Still covered under the dark hood, Solavir approached the guard upon his steed, seemingly calm and appearing non-confrontational and as soon as he arrived in front of the guard, he pulled back the hood revealing his appearance as a prideful yet charming and rather handsome young shadow elf. His thick and yet short black hair is a rarity even amongst the shadow elves alongside his fair skin although undoubtedly underneath those heavy ornate armor lies dozens of scars from previous battles, and his sharp brown eyes peering down the guard with his haughty demeanor.<br/><br/><strong>""Hail human, I am Solavir, captain of the deathguard from Vassaloth and with me are the delegations from our nation in the distant land, we demand to...""</strong>, but before Solavir could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by the sorceress as she jumps off the carriage and walked towards the guard, followed by her loyal battle sisters, adorned with the barest amount of enchanted leather armor, exposing much of their body and each of them armed with cruel looking short blades. Her seductive looks seemingly trying to charm the guard,<strong>""Excuse my rather...impudent comrade here""</strong>, she said as she casts a glance towards the deathguard still on his steed,<strong>""we have come from a far away nation and we are on a peaceful diplomatic mission, since the barbarian plague in our homeland has come to an end we wished to make treaties and friendly relations with neighboring nations, if you could please direct us to anyone in authority we would be very...grateful""</strong>. A smirked carved across her lips, and it would be a lie if she didn't admit to having use some of her charming power on the guard and hopefully it works so that their delegation would come as a priority to whoever in charge."

Standing at attention, a slight more rigid than usual, he averted his gaze as he choked out a response, “N-no need to excuse anyone ma’am, we’re here to assist diplomats, traders and the like, not judge them.” Taking a moment to dare a glance of one of the scantily clad battle sisters he coughed before adding, “And, if I may say, the palace might be upset if I were to chase such an… exotic delegation from our gates.” With a slight turn of his head, he flashed the seductress an awkward smile before quickly returning his eyes to the front. “As for authority figures, it’s up to you who you want supporting your nation, or if you want to simply remain neutral in the affairs of Velar. Personally, I’d suggest one of the queen’s daughters over any nobles but I won’t pretend to be any real official on such matters. All I can offer is the same all foreign dignitaries receive, the directions to the capital, Veredin - the home of the citadel, and a scroll which grants entry.”<br/><br/>“Speaking of which,” he started as if an afterthought, “I better organize that for you; I will return post-haste milady.” And with that the guard gave the sorceress a stiff, respectful, bow, before hefting his halberd into both hands and turning to jog under the stone arch of the entrance. Disappearing around the corner he soon reappeared with the halberd held firmly against his shoulder by one hand with a small scroll sealed with a blue ribbon in the other. Stopping short of Asharess he once again bowed as he offered the scroll to her, speaking as he did so, “This will allow you into the citadel; from there the higher born will likely seek you out.” Straightening his posture the soldier appeared more confident now. “Of course, you’re free to wander the kingdom instead of going directly to the palace, if you’d like. The only places closed off to you would be the College of War, certain areas of the citadel and finally, while not technically closed off, I’d not recommend visiting Daughtan during your stay. It is… uh… a mage city of sorts.”<br/><br/>The young man shuffled uneasily as he searched for the words to describe what he meant, gazing up into the sky at one point as if the answers would somehow show themselves in the clouds. Finally, allowing his look to fall on the sorceress again, he simply allowed a hesitant smile to cross his lips as he spoke. “While guards patrol the roads, cities and villages within the walls, Daughtan is pretty much a lawless city, one where the mages are given free rein to do what they please. And while you look the sort who might enjoy such a place, I’d strongly suggest keeping your distance from there as many find it overwhelming, disorientating, or… fatal.” Chuckling, the guard broke eye-contact as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, “But I’m being melodramatic, maybe because we regular soldiers don’t often see eye-to-eye with our magi brethren… I’m told that if you can bypass the danger that it’s quite a wonder with strange objects and people of all shapes and sizes within its streets. Ah, but I’m wasting your time.” Returning to a posture of attention, the guard once again became more formal, “If it’d please milady I could organize for an escort through the territory to offer directions and security, or will that be all?”<br/><br/>As he finished four soldiers, each with a sword strapped to their hips, stepped out from the entrance, all stopping just behind the guard before offering a simultaneous and respectful bow. They held a mostly loose formation, obviously accustomed to the odd escort, and seemed to be ready for a mostly quiet walk; should Asharess take them on. The two at the back whispered conspiratorially with each other, the conversation only breaking for the odd leer or chuckle as they regarded the battle sisters and sorceress, while the two in the front, both slightly older, simply waited patiently - one of them finally turning their head slightly before offering a threatening growl, instantly bringing all silent chatter to a halt. They were clearly not the best Velar had to offer but it was mostly a ceremonial position, the role of escort, considering the number of guards which did patrol the roads of the magically inclined nation."

She had taken a note that sometimes the best point of view does not come from a grand vizier of a nation, or the sovereign of the nation nor from its ambassadors or nobles but from the common peoples that works the nation. She took a personal interest, and had shown for it when she tilted her head in amusement when she heard the guard mention that its up to them who they want supporting their nation or to remain neutral, it seems to Asharess, that they are factions even within this kingdoms and this could only mean one thing, opportunity. He turns to Solavir grinning in amusement of the information bought to her but she sighed in disappointment when Solavir shows no interests in it, hardly surprising as the captain has least interest in politics.<br/><br/>The guards further proceeded with explaining the wonder of one of the cities of this nation, the city of Daughtan as it were called but not before handing to the sorceress a scroll wrapped in blue ribbon, as it were this scroll will allow diplomats of other nations to travel freely into the nation, a convenience to her.<strong>""Thank you, you have been most helpful...""</strong>, she flashed a quick smile to guard before slightly bowing to him and conveniently showing her cleavage beneath that scantily clad robe of hers, ""don't worry I'm sure we can take care of ourselves"", she replied to the guards earlier comment of how dangerous the city is. Soon afterwards four armed soldiers appears at the gate and offered her a complimentary bow before she noticed the two at the back looking at her rather lewdly and even dared to chuckled at it as well.

He never learned to fight with ""normal"" weapons because he barely owned more than an old knife. Originally i was going to go unarmed, but I was inspired by ""rope weapons."" Ropes are, after all, a major part of life on ship. The chain daiklave is the artifact version of such a weapon.<br/><br/>Second reason, once I seriously started looking at it I noticed how damn powerful that weapon really is. Relatively low commitment, high defense, able to inflict lethal and bashing damage and grapple at a distance. And a hearthstone socket for good measure. Leave it in its scabbard, wrap the hilt with leather, pair it with a similarly well-kept dagger, no reason anyone should suspect it of being anything more than a fine chopping sword."

The sorcerer may keep an acorn to<br/>complete the spell for up to one month, but he cannot<br/>access the Essence inside the acorn for any other reason.<br/>To implant this Essence into a female creature and<br/>begin gestating a new monster, the sorcerer must feed the<br/>acorn, either whole or ground up but in its entirety, to a<br/>male of a species that can mate with the female. When the<br/>male creature eats the acorn, it becomes suffused with a<br/>reddish aura of Essence and immediately goes into season.<br/>The sorcerer then mates it with the female that will bear<br/>the monster, and when the mating is complete, the ruddy<br/>Essence will drain from the male creature into the female.<br/>The monster grows within the womb at an unnatural<br/>speed and will be born in one-tenth the time it takes for a<br/>creature of the femaleÕs species to gestate, usually just a few<br/>weeks. This hideous growth drains the motherÕs strength, and<br/>the birth of the monster will kill any mortal creature. Essenceusing<br/>beings, such as Elementals and Exalts, may survive the<br/>process if their players succeed at a Stamina + Resistance roll,<br/>its difficulty equal to the new creatureÕs permanent Essence<br/>(difficulty 1 if a female sorcerer uses herself as a host).<br/>The new creature will have all of the best Traits of the<br/>two parent creatures. It has the highest of the two creatureÕs<br/>Attributes, Virtues, Willpower, permanent Essence and any<br/>shared Abilities, as well as gaining any Abilities that either<br/>parent solely had. The creature will be an Essence user if one<br/>of the parents was also an Essence user. It will gain the<br/>Charms and other mystical abilities of either parent, though<br/>it will not have Backgrounds or any equipment that the<br/>sorcerer does not grant it. After its birth, it will grow to<br/>maturity in one week and will be completely devoted to the<br/>sorcerer as if the sorcerer were its only parent.<br/>Countermagic may be cast at any time during the<br/>ritual, but after the creature has been conceived, there is<br/>no way to reverse the effects of the spell. Normal methods<br/>of abortion may be used, but they carry twice the normal<br/>health risks for the unwilling host mother.<br/>The final appearance and statistics of the newborn<br/>monster must be approved by the Storyteller before this<br/>spell is used.<br/><br/><br/>Found in ""Savant and Sorcerer (1e)"" Page 134"

Locating it and b.) taking it.  Option A.) relies on storyteller whim, no matter what you do, and difficulty of b.) also relies on ST whim.<br/><br/>You won't get to use this spell freely until mid-game at the earliest due to the above reasons.    If you dedicate your entire character to it, and you get a lax GM who decides that the stone is just lying everywhere to buy, then perhaps you could make it work, but you do it at a staggering cost to your character at creation.<br/><br/>More than likely ST is not going to hand the item over to you, and it doesn't matter how creative you are if the ST wants to finish his plot before giving you time to quest.     Given the slow nature of PBP, and the short-lived nature of internet games before they fizzle out, you'll be fortunate to be able to use the spell once.    Honestly, Imbue Amalgam isn't really *that* powerful from just one use.    Anything you make with it can be easily killed in any one battle.    The real power it offers comes from multiple uses, and from being able to have an enterauge of supernatural beings at your disposal.    Given the sacrifices that you'll have to make during character creation to get your character to be able to use it, you'll need them, and given the way that most GM's rule about it, it makes it simply not worth it in the cost/benefit analysis for an early-game spell.   During mid-to-late game, however, it's most definitely worth it provided you can find a way of learning it.<br/><br/>Now, with SoM, I can create my small hoard of moderately powerful bodyguards in a few months game time if I only use my sorcerer as a Atytoxl tank, and provided that she's socially capable of getting laid.    If she's willing to sacrifice others, she can do it much faster.   Fortunately, she's not *evil*.   Birthing's a no biggy.   You can pass any difficulty one roll simply by expending willpower.    We've tagged on the same crafting roll that a Neomah has to make, which means at conception, I'm always going t have to make a diff 3 crafting roll.   Hence, 2nd crafting excellency.      This spell's weaker in that the creature can't perform on an exalted level of performance, given that any offspring will be god-blooded, but there's the off-chance that children with high enough breeding will be able to exalt as dragon blood.    (By the way, the manse is a Dragon's Nest).<br/><br/>Yes, my character is sorta crippled in terms of what she can do.   She Crafts and does sorcery, and that's about it.   However, she has a functional array of spells that don't require super-questing and that don't require hi-jacking the plot in order to use them."

The Mage has a chance to set of a warning in your head saying ""Hey there something not quite right here"" (dc 10 cause hey, its not everyday a woman has a elder wizard as her escort). But we have all had those little feelings that we have ignored. Sense motive was probably better then a Knowledge(arcana) check because it allowed everyone to make the check and The fact that Knowledge checks are usually active, So your not gonna stand and think just to realize something is not quite as it seems.And in case you need any fruther reason as to this choice remember the golden rule at the begining of every DM'S Guide.<br/><br/><strong>The Dm's word is law and trumps anything presented in this book</strong><br/><br/>Meaning that it was well within her right to give sense motive another use as a basic intuition(since 3.5 kinda lacked that as compared to $th ed's Perception and intuition skills). So before anyone flys off the handle(to late?) take a deep breath and remember that D&D is a game that is about testing the limits of imagination and leave your mind open to different applications of base skills, cause they will still work like normal but just get a little more powerful."

large tropical islands off the coast.  The mainland is mostly temperate and is made up primarily of plains, forests, several mountains/rocky hills, and a number of small lakes.  The islands are mostly tropical and are made up of jungle and mountains (volcanoes).  Besides the three large islands, there are many smaller islands (<em>note: these are not shown on the map</em>) surrounded by a huge protective reef.  Amalor contains no deserts, tundra, or wastelands.  Swampland is rare.<br/><br/>Plains:          20%<br/>Forests:        20%<br/>Jungle:          25%<br/>Hills:

Northern end of the country.<br/><br/>(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a9eb19cc5c.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)<br/>Scenes like this are typical of the rocky uplands near the mountains.<br/><br/><strong>Fauna:</strong>Amalor is host to many varieties of species that have adapted to different types of terrain.  In the Southern islands there are various types of constrictor snakes, ranging in size from 6 to 18 feet in length.  Also common in the islands are many exotic and colorful birds (parrots being common) and lizards.  The islands also are the home of numerous rare types of insects, most quite large and vividly colored, such as the Altrusian Butterflies, which are as big as condors and serve the same function (they are scavengers) and the Jagurthan Fireflies, known to range in size from 2-3 feet long and hunt at night for small rodents.  Primates are rare in Amalor (the only monkeys to be found are the tiny capuchins in the islands) and apes are completely extinct in the country.  In the forests are all the typical forest creatures normally found elsewhere (squirrels, rabbits, foxes, owls, raccoons, etc), but few larger mammalian predators (such as bears).  The plains host large grazing beasts of many sorts, ranging from wild cattle and horses to colorful fleet-footed landbound lizard-birds (which can be anywhere from 1-3 feet high and emit an odd warbling sound when running).  The hills and mountains are home to a variety of mammals and birds, including the fierce Amalorian Eagle, a large avian dubbed the ""wolverine of the sky.""  The first tyrant queen adopted one as a pet and they have remained the national bird (and symbol) ever since.  Few reptiles exist in the mountains, but there is one peculiar type of ""wolf-lizard"" that dwells there, but is rarely encountered.  In the caverns underground, there are numerous insects and a type of giant spider, the Pellucid (as large as a chariot) which the Dark Elves have domesticated over the years.  Like the cattle used by humans, the Dark Elves tend to their spiders with similar care.  The primary source of a highly lethal poison, these spiders are routinely milked of venom and sometimes slaughtered for food, though only the Dark Elves seem to enjoy the meat.  Another variety of giant spider, the Thipsids, are bred for their webbing, which is harvested and used to make sturdy rope or clothing.  The Deep Worm, a huge underground-dwelling caterpillar, serves the same purpose until it goes into its chrysalis years later to become a Gloom Wing.  The Dark Elves exploit the uses of both Deep Worms and Thipsids with equal zeal.  It should be noted that the only types of poisonous creatures in Amalor exist below the surface, either underground or in the ocean.  There are no known venomous creatures roaming the land.  The shallow sea contains a rich variety of sea life common to warm waters, including a number of unique species.  Dolphins and porpoises are common in these waters and twice a year huge packs of Orcas migrate here and stay for about a month before moving on.   A large species of eel can be found in the shallow sea, as well as in the lakes and rivers, and these creatures have an alarming penchant for aggressive ""amorous invasions"" of the unwary swimmer (wriggling in headfirst to whatever orifice it can force itself into).  Such eels are mostly harmless, though there is one species that shoots out sharp stinging spikes from a band around its neck after it has inserted itself headfirst into its target.  A number of the constrictor snakes found in the islands also exhibit this same behavior.  The Amalorians regard them as nuisances at worst and cute pets at best.  It is known that a species of medium-sized black dragons exists in the country, dwelling near dormant volcanoes, but sightings are rare and the creatures tend not to attack unless provoked or if their caverns are invaded.  There are other dangerous creatures either known or believed to exist in the ruins scattered throughout the country, but cataloguing them all has been a difficult and time-consuming task.  A type of nocturnal bird, the Nightflyer, is a type of horned owl that has been domesticated because of its intelligence and homing ability.  These birds are typically used for delivering information great distances.  The less intelligent, but even faster, Red Swift is used during daylight hours when the Nightflyers go to roost.  Both birds are fairly large, about the size of a falcon, and can carry a large scroll or small book with no signs of difficulty.  Most human Amalorians have domesticated a wide range of animals, which serve a variety of uses, but most common are livestock animals (chickens, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs), beasts of burden/transportation (horses, bulls, oxen), pets (dogs, birds, snakes) and communication (the two types of birds mentioned earlier).  Cats of any kind are very rare in Amalor, with only a few larger types ever having been reported in the jungle.<br/><br/><strong>Flora:</strong>Just as there are many varieties of animals found throughout Amalor, so too are there many more typs of plants.  The Southern islands are made up of lush jungle including many types of palm trees, and these islands host a rich variety of delicious fruits.  Pineapples, bananas, coconuts, mangos, and berries of all types can be found, as well as medicinal herbs and useful substances (like rubber, caulk, and Saleris, a sap which, when combined with a vinegar solution and dried, acts like a strong waterproof sealant).  There are also a rich abundance of plantlife in the plains and forests as well, including deciduous trees of all sorts and sizes (though the truly titanic redwoods of the time of the Elves are gone), shrubs and bushes of all kinds, and even a peculiar type of vine that produces a crystalline object (when the breeze blows this vine is essentially a wind chime).  The woodlands are also where the mighty Ironwood is found, a large sturdy tree that is often used for a variety of purposes from furniture to bows/arrows, to the mighty Amalorian war-club (a terrifying weapon banded and studded with steel, this tool can easily break bones and crush skulls of even the most heavily defended foe, the horrible impact going right through the armor).  Near the coastline can be found wild orange trees, lemon trees, lime trees, and otther fruit trees.  Many Amalorians have created orchards of these fruit trees, and also the fruit trees of the islands.  In the mountains there are typical alpine plant life, getting more sparse the higher up the mountain one goes.  Near the snowy peaks grows a rare type of colorful flower, dubbed a snow lily, which blooms in winter and grows upward through the snow to the surface, displaying vividly colorful petals.  Snow lillies come in a variety of colors, but most are yellow, red, green, purple, or blue.  Orange snow lillies are the rarest.  There is also a type of berry that grows near the snowcaps which is quite delicious, and somehow remains cold even for several days after being plucked.  Many types of vegetables found on the plains have since been long cultivated by the Amalorians.  Carrots, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, onions, garlic, leeks, corn, pumpkins, cucumbers, celery, radishes, and beans being commonly grown.  A number of grains from the meadowlands also make up the standard Amalorian crop.  Wheat, rice, and barley are the most typical grain crops of the nation, and used to make leavened and unleavened bread.<br/><br/><strong>Rocks &amp; Minerals:</strong>Deposits of gold, silver and copper can be found in average quantities in the country, though these ores are only allowed to be mined sparingly by royal decree and the mines are operated only by the state.  Mithril ore deposits exist in the region and are carefully mined and worked by the Dark Elves and Half-Elves, equally.  Vividly colored quartz of all hues can be found underground, and some of these crystalline deposits can be quite huge and come in a variety of geometric shapes.  Emeralds, rubies, diamonds, sapphires, opals, amethysts, and other such gemstones are much rarer, but have been found.  Limestone, granite, shale, slate, and several types of marble are found in great abundance throughout the region (the hills contain the most easily accessible deposits).  Jade is somewhat rare but some deposits exist in and around the forest regions.  Magnesium, brimstone, and lava rock is found near various volcanic mountains in the islands, as is chalk and sandstone in hills and cliffs near the beaches on the mainland.  Iron ore and tin are very common throughout the region and is either exported raw or worked into steel and sold.  Deposits of an unknown tin-like metal, antimony, and lodestone can also be found in the mountains.<br/><br/>A highly rare type of metal, called Eldrithium, can only be found in Amalor.  This metal is very heavy but highly resistant to magic.  Merely holding it for a period of time will slowly drain away any enchantments placed upon the person of the holder.  It is a difficult metal to work with, and only used by master Amalorian armorsmiths belonging to a specific guild.  Eldrithium can only be worked once.  If it is melted down and worked a second time it will break down during the process into a dirty bronze mess that, when hardened, is much like tin (with no magic resistant properties).  The anti-magical nature of Eldrithium prevents any smiths from using magical means (even alchemy) to work it, as the Half-Elven sages of Amalor found out, though the Dark Elves continued to try much longer before giving up.  When worked correctly, Eldrithium can be shaped into steel-hard armor that, alone, is impressive, but also is highly resistant to magical effects.  A secondary reason the Amalorian infantry utlizes this armor is that, if lost on the battlefield, it is unlikely to be useful to any but the most physically powerful foe (being so heavy that it's unlikely a normal person could wear it for long, much less fight in it...and magically-enhanced strength is no solution since the armor drains away that property from the wearer as long as the armor is on), and also because the armor provides a means to gradually strengthen the body of the Amalorian wearing it.  Over time it builds the muscles and gets easier for the wearer to bear, and is a sign of personal pride to the Amalorians.  Because of its nature, Eldrithium is never sold or exported (it is unlikely there would be enough left to export, anyway, since so much of it is used in the smithing process).<br/><br/>Amalorian alchemist-seamstress guilds have also uncovered a process to make a substance known as Steelsilk.  This material is glossy and looks shiny and metallic but feels like comfortable sheer silk and has stretchy properties.  It can be either silvery chrome, shiny gold, or colored in a variety of brilliant hues.  These garments are sometimes sold/exported from time to time.<br/><br/><strong>Architecture:</strong>Provided are some examples of Amalorian structures.  Houses are shown in the section regarding population (below).<br/><br/>(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a85e9bb069.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)<br/>The

as this are also found in all three major cities.  Oratories, musical performances, even erotic plays are all typical fare of Amalor.<br/><br/>(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d3a786f92c.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)<br/>Some towns even boast their own small amphitheatres, such as this one.<br/><br/>Also of note are the massive arenas located in all three major cities.  The arenas host a variety of entertainments, typically combat (which is usualy non-lethal, thanks to healers nearby, but some deaths/executions are not unknown), but can also include sports, athletic events, and varied acts such as acrobatics, dancing, and musical performances.  The arenas, themselves, are a work of architectural genius, with many versatile options capable of being employed.<br/><br/>The huge Colossa of Tanthis is also noteworthy, having been built by the giants out of solid marble, the statue straddles the harbor, one foot on either side, a gorgeous athletic nude figure forever standing watch.<br/><br/>Many permanent enchantments have been placed on the statues and buildings throughout the country, the most common being artificial illumination, or illusory effects.  Many fountains have enchantments in place to ensure the water remains pure and and fresh.  Temperature control is a popular enchantment inside some buildings (such as the temples).<br/><br/>The Aquatic races construct their homes and buildings out of shells and coral, along the style of their forebears though in much smaller scale.  There exist several stone Amalorian stuctures at the sea floor where the Tritons have built replicas of some of the temples on the surface but earthquakes have largely damaged these structures.  They are still in use by the Aquatics, however, and slated to be fully repaired at a later time.<br/><br/>(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.d71603c0b9.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?d71603c0b9.jpg)<br/>The Temple of Sa-Arthesh Slori (marine goddess of health), damaged 100 years ago by subsurface earthquakes.<br/><br/>The Centaurs typically do not build standing structures but do make use of the large breezy stone buildings constructed for them by the other Amalorians.  A number of wooden stockades have only recently been built by the Centaurs, as sort of camps in various distant parts of the nation, as they prefer to stay mobile and not remain in one location for too long.<br/><br/><strong>Climate: </strong>The climate is usually balmy and warm all year round (very mild winters which seldom go below the 60's) and snow is unheard of except in the mountains.  Rainfall is a bit higher in Amalor, particularly in the islands, and very common in the months of December and January.  The summer months can sometimes be very humid, especially in the islands.  From time to time, Amalor's relatively pleasant climate is marked by extreme conditions, such as hurricanes and typhoons, with flooding soon to follow.  Fortunately these occurrences are fairly rare.  Phenomena such as tornadoes and drought are unheard of in Amalor.<br/><br/><strong>Geological activity:</strong>Amalor is not a new nation, it had been colonized by many races over the past, going back even before most historical tomes relate, but one constant seems to be unstable geological activity.  Earthquakes and volcanic activity have been the ruin of more than one empire here.  At one time Amalor had even sunk to the sea floor, only to be raised ages later in yet another upheaval.  Many academics postulate that Amalor was, and still is, a sort of hub area.  A landmass floating, bouncing, and bobbing on a sea of lava like a cork on the surface of a pond.  Priestesses hold that Amalor is a blessed focal point of the goddesses and the centerpoint of change and mysteries which can never be fully understood, the volatile changes all being the will of the goddesess.  The priestesses use a different analogy, describing Amalor as a finely worked set of shield, armor, and weapons, all being cast in fire (volcanoes) hammered out by the goddesses (earthquakes), and then cooled (hurricanes/floods), all of which are necessary before the result is complete.<br/><br/><strong>History</strong>(The Eight Known Eras of Amalor):<br/><br/>It is surmised the very First race to inhabit the region was an insectoid race, long since extinct.  Not much is known of them, or how long their rule lasted (some would say a million years), but a few rare structures and evidence of their ancient empire have been uncovered, though hardly what they must have looked like long ago.  Some sort of illegible script has been found excavated from quarries or found on jungle cliffs worn away by erosion.  Some sages surmise this to be evidence left behind by this ancient race.  A few fossils have also been found of very strange plants and animals that must have existed during the time of the insectoids, but only a rare few fossilized remains of the insectoids have ever been found.<br/><br/>The Second race to inhabit the region were the Reptile Men (or Lizard folk, as some call them).  Their structures and artwork were largely lost due to a cataclysm that shook the area and destroyed most of the life on the planet, according to scholars.  They lived in a time when huge reptilian beasts roamed the world.  These Reptile Men were likely a varied race, with some being lighter of build, and others heavier of build, but most were roughly 5-8 feet tall, from the fossilized remains.  They were apparently masters of some sort of crystal technology that has been lost after their passing.  They had a spoken and a written language, that much the scholars today agree upon, because there are some stone tablets that point to that, however, not much of the rest of their culture is known.  It does appear they were at war with some sort of sea race who existed at the time, which some have dubbed the Fish Men (note: many believe the Fish Men to be the first known sentient race, older even than the Insectoids, and had survived numerous mass extinctions).  There's also some controversial carvings found in at least two ruins of Reptilian structures that indicate a pimititive proto-elven race that had been encountered by the Reptile Men.  There are no other records of mammalian life at this time, which begs the question: where did this primitive elven race come from?  The Reptile Man race vanishes from global dominancy (as does the age of the great reptilian beasts) during the same time as the primitive elves seem to have appeared.  Many would provide answers for why this happened, ranging from the scientific to the religious, but in truth it is all pure conjecture.<br/><br/>The Third race to colonize the region were the Elves, much much later and there is evidence that Amalor was a much different place during the height of their reign (which some believe lasted for 20,000 years, but of course, there is no conclusive proof).  Amalor was much colder, dryer, and forested by massive conifers (redwoods and sequoias) that served as their cities.  Elegant stone structures also dotted the land, testimony to the engineering genius of the Elven race.  Sadly, the Elven structures are all in ruins now, but can still be seen in various parts of the country, crumbling in the mountains, overgrown in the islands, half-buried in caverns, and on the sea floor.  The ancient Elven colony here fell due to violent earthquakes and wildfires that forced them to flee to other areas.  Some of the Half-Elves who have returned claim to be the long lost descendants of the original Elven inhabitants but most sages scoff at the notion.<br/><br/>(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/01f66546ed.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)<br/>An example of the remains of a Third Age Elven ruin<br/><br/>The fourth race to inhabit the area were the Dark Elves, who sought to claim the area as a sanctuary and military outpost.  They built incredible cities underground out of the living rock, cultivated a special fungus that produced oxygen, and developed a vast society largely unknown to the savage primitive humans (neanderthals), lurking above.  The Dark Elves built few structures on the surface, as they were constantly at war with the bestial and brutish humans there, often winning battles against them but never gaining a conclusive victory, and so they retired completely to their underground empire where it was safe.  Alas, the instability of the region claimed the Dark Elven colony much as it had done the Elven one previously.  Even the powerful magic of the Dark Elves was not sufficient to hold back the lava and tons of rock that ended their civilization here after it was founded only 10,000 year ago, (based on the best information available).  Some Dark Elves have emigrated back to Amalor for much the same reasons the Elves have, but their claims of lineage are unsubstantiated.<br/><br/>The Fifth race to claim the area were what many sages dub the Aquatics.  After the volcanic activity that destroyed the Dark Elven colony, there was a long period of time marked by the expansion of glaciers which since melted as the world's climate warmed and further earthquakes caused the entire region to sink beneath the waves and what we now call Amalor became a shallow sea.  Sea Elves, Tritons, and Mermaids created a thriving civilization under the warm, sunny, vibrant sea and built vast cities out of huge shells and living coral.  Some of these can still be found in odd locations (due to the oceans having receded over time) such as on some of the islands, hills, and lowlands.  The Aquatics were a robust and friendly culture, engaging in trade with the surface world races that survived the epic worldwide flood (most of the world was underwater during this time).  This did not last, however, as the surface world erupted into chaos and war from the lack of resources and living space, and the conflict spilled over to affect the Aquatics in a way still as of yet undetermined.  Many scholars believe it was some form of disease which was only a minor inconvenience to the surface races, but deadly to the Aquatics.  Others surmise it was some form of plague brought from a star that impacted in the ocean and dissolved, freeing millions of tiny organisms, but there is no shred of proof of this.  Some priests say it was the wrath of the gods.  Whatever the cause, the Aquatic civilization was abandoned as the various surviving sea races split off and left the area, living nomadic existences and settling in other areas.  Some have since returned, and there has been no sign of the bizarre sickness that affected their forebears, and so they have begun to rebuild new colonies under the sea, close to the islands that dot the coast.<br/><br/>The Sixth race to inhabit Amalor were the Giants, a huge race of modern-looking humans (by this time the humans had changed to what we know of today) who came to the area when the oceans receded, geographic upheaval thrust the landmass upwards, and the climate warmed.  The Giants would have been the inheritors of the entire world, for none could match their sheer strength and power for long.  However, the Giants were also a warlike people who could not get along with each other and their reign was a short and violent one, which destroyed them, as a people, and their civilization in Amalor was no different.  Only the ruins of their mighty structures remain, mostly destroyed by the forces of other Giants.  The few remaining Giants who inhabit Amalor today, scholars agree, are the direct descendants of the Giants who dwelled here in the past.  They are less warlike than their predecessors and more apt to live in peace with the other citizens of Amalor, having apparently learned the lesson of their self-destructive past.<br/><br/>The Seventh race to colonize Amalor were the Centaurs, a nomadic tribe who emigrated here roughly 1500 year ago.  They built no grand structures like the previous races, but have lasted the test of time.  Their wars with human invaders have largely shaped and molded both cultures into a warlike one.  The Centaurs,huge creatures, were masters of hit-and-run tactics and their bows and spears are legendary in their effectiveness.  The humans, also quite large relative to other humans worldwide, became masters of infantry tactics, developing the shield phalanx and using heavy armor.  Although the humans would eventually win the war, the Centaurs are still quite numerous in the region (equalling in number the Half-Elves) and now staunch friends of their former foes.  Both races ended their costly war 200 years ago and now combine their might.<br/><br/>The Eighth race to colonize Amalor are the humans, specifically the Amazons.  A race of humans that has no males, but rather a third sex.  This third sex, dubbed as futa, has a female body but male genitals (they are not hermaphrodites, they do not possess a vagina as well, only a penis and testicles).  It is rare, but some futa are born with two sets of penises.  Unapproved sorcerous experimentation has resulted in even more unusual results (such as four breasts and/or four arms).  Upon their arrival, the Amazon priestesses instituted a program to breed out all the males from the entire population (including every race in the country) and over time this process has resulted in a nation of females and futas only.  Males are only allowed here as visitors for short periods of time.  Male slaves are not allowed.  The Amazons of Amalor ruled with an iron fist, having built their rule on conquest, and to the casual observer their culture would seem barbaric.  Their architecture is mostly stonework decorated with frescoes, friezes, and painted designs ((**OOC: think of Crete, Greece, Babylon, Sumeria, or Egypt for influences**)).  The horses, dogs, and bulls of the region are bred for size and strength and never sold or exported (only the common/lesser breeds are ever traded).  The Amazon race is thought to be at least somewhat related to the Giants (much as some surmise the Centaurs to be) because of their size and strength.  Most Amazons are at least 7 feet tall, some being 8 feet, and virtually all are very muscular or at least physically fit.  There are no sickly, frail, waifish, or obese Amazons in Amalor, thanks to a rigid regimen of daily exercise, a healthy diet, and frequent sparring.  The Amazons are the current predominat race to inhabit Amalor and are well aware of the instability of the region in terms of both the present and the past.  They trust in their goddesses to protect them, and the other races, from disaster, but it will remain to be seen if this is any more effective.<br/><br/>(http://fapomatic.com/thumbs/0951/hhj_leamazons_s.jpg) (http://fapomatic.com/show.php?loc=0951&f=hhj_leamazons_s.jpg)<br/>(L to R) The present Battle-Mistress, Gymnasthena (aka Jemella) and Tyrant Queen Elissandra<br/><br/>(http://fapomatic.com/thumbs/0951/hhj_cytoplasmfull.jpg) (http://fapomatic.com/show.php?loc=0951&f=hhj_cytoplasmfull.jpg)<br/>Third in the chain of command is High Priestess Narina<br/><br/><strong>Religion:</strong>Pantheistic.  The state religion practiced by every race, is to the Amazon goddesses, of which there are 12.  Every race has their own versions of the 12 Divines, and worship at the same temples.  The predominant one, however, is Syldanism (worshippers of Syldana).  It is Syldana who keeps the Amazons safe by their exclusion of males, and her wisdom that has provided for their continued survival through the other goddesses (via the futas, by keeping natural disasters at a minimum, by the inclusion of other races, by providing ample resources, by keeping them strong and healthy, etc.  a different job for a different goddess). Through the efforts of the priestesses, vampirism and all known types of undead, have been eradicated from Amalor (though in truth, few cases had ever been reported), and lycanthropy is unknown here thanks to numerous medicinal plants.  One type of violent and aggressive spirit, known only as an Entity, remains and resists all known attempts at exorcism.  Entities are invisible, very strong, can discharge an electrical current, and seem to thrive on raping the unwary.  These malevolent spirits are few in number, and no one is certain even what they are.<br/><br/><strong>Shapeshifters:</strong>Few other nations are aware that a colony of these beings inhabit Amalor, and fewer yet know their true appearance (some believe they are sexless milk-white humanoids, others say they are scaley and dark blue with glowing eyes, yet others argue they are large tentacled horrors).  What is known is that all Shapeshifters in Amalor belong to a secret society called the Protean Sisterhood.  The Sisterhood's motives are unclear but they serve the nation and the Queen in whatever capacity desired.  Other nations, perhaps rightly, believe the Sisterhood to be an elaborate spying operation.  No Shapeshifter has ever actually been caught abroad, however, to corroborate this, but there have been numerous odd occurences and bizarre accounts of certain people being at two places at once.  The Shapeshifters are naturally resistant to magic and psionics, developing this resistence slowly over the course of thousands of years to the virtually impenetrable level it is at today.  An ancient race that has long since been dying out, the Shapeshifters entire culture and civilization has been lost to them over the ages (if they ever possessed one of their own at all) and they now identify with their adopted culture, that of the Amazons.<br/><br/><strong>Races:</strong>The population of Amalor is 100,000, and consists of the following citizens:<br/><br/>Humans:          40%<br/>Half-Elves:       15%<br/>Centaurs:        15%<br/>Giants:             05%<br/>Sea Elves:       10%<br/>Tritons:            05%<br/>Dark Elves:       05%<br/>Mermaids:        03%<br/>Shapeshifters: 02%<br/><br/><strong>Population centers:</strong>The nation of Amalor boasts three major cities.   The capital city of Gynasica, is located roughly in the center of the country and the nearby terrain is open meadow and idyllic forests, with a river flowing from a mountain to the North.  The second biggest city is Tioniphus, located in a well-defended hilly region Northwest of the capital.  The third largest city is Tanthis, located along the Southern coast.  There are numerous other small towns and villages throughout the country, however, most of these having originated as either temporary camps or military posts.  There are very few permanent villages in the islands of the nation, owing to the ferocity of the hurricanes and typhoons which occur unexpectedly.  All of the three major cities are high-walled and bristling with defenses (some very ingenious in nature), with Amalorian citizens prepared for military duty at a moment's notice.  Industry thrives in all three major cities and the villages beyond, with surplus goods being actively exported to other countries and trading partners.  Nevertheless, military drills are still incorportated into daily life.  The open plains around Gynasica are often used for large-scale military maneuvers and drills.  It is not uncommon to see huge troop formations of Amalorians perfecting their craft out on the plains on any given day.  The naval fortress, located in Tanthis, also regularly patrols the coasts and islands in either the large Triremes out in the open sea just beyond the reef wall or the smaller shallow-drafted Destroyers (raiding ships, like lateen-sailed sloops) inside the reef wall where only small craft can go.<br/><br/>(http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.35f7480938.gif) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?35f7480938.gif)<br/>A typical Amalorian

items:                        02%<br/><br/><strong>Economy:</strong>Copper, silver, and gold are all mined on the mainland (no deposits have yet been found on the islands).  These precious metals are typically neither imported, nor exported.  The amounts mined is strictly based on economic need and an effort to avoid inflation.  The coins minted, in order of value, are the copper Enth, the silver Melath, and the gold Janth (all named for Amazon leaders of the past).<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Most human Amalorians are dark complected, though a few lighter complected ones do exist.  Hair color is usually black, brunette or blonde, with red hair being a rarity.  All Amalorians are heavily muscled and smooth skinned (pubic areas are bald).  Amalorians are very well-endowed, all having very large breasts (some would say overly large), which lactate from puberty to around age 50.  Large clits are common, as are oversized penises/testicles among the futa (both in terms of width and girth, making sexual intercourse a thing of both pleasure and pain).  Body piercings are not uncommon.  Typical piercings are in the nipples,  the earlobes, the tongue (a small stud), and the clit.  Tattoos are not usually seen as attractive and all but unheard of in Amalor.  Clothing is typically sparse, and nudity is common among slaves.  Most citizens wear simple thongs (going topless), or merely a thong and skimpy halter top.  Some wear a simple skirt over the thong (usually the more conservative Amalorians), or the skirt and no thong.  The elderly wear robes or long gowns.  Amalorians traveling abroad often wear cloaks or robes, as some countries have taboos against near-nudity, and there is also the problem of colder climates.  Amalorians prefer beauty to be displayed for all to enjoy rather than covered up and kept secret.<br/><br/>Amalorian Half-Elves are mostly just like the humans, with the exception being their noticeably pointed ears, higher eyebrows, and more delicate facial features.  They are not as slightly built as in other lands, but instead can be just as big and muscular as the humans of Amalor.<br/><br/>Amalorian Dark Elves are dark skinned, with shades ranging from chocolate brown to light grey.  Their hair is always jet black, never white.  They are slightly shorter and less bulky than humans.  The half-breeds are otherwise similar to their Half-Elven Amalorian brethren.<br/><br/>The Sea Elves are green-skinned, with shades ranging from vivid green to dark green, and their hair color is always either black or some variant of dark green or dark blue.  Their hair always has a 'wet' shimmering glossy look.  Their physiques otherwise are the same as the Dark Elves, with half-breeds favoring the human side (like the Half-Elves).  They can breathe air or water equally well.<br/><br/>Amalorian Centaurs are massive brutes, their horse-halves being similar in build to a clydesdale or shire, but about 50% bigger, and their muscular human upper torsos being equally huge in proportion.  They typically wear their hair long and flowing or tied tightly into a long ponytail.  Coloration of their horse halves usually ranges from dark brown (chocolate) to light brown (chestnut).  There are no known variants of other colors.  Hair color tends to be brown, black, or blonde.  Amalorian centaurs are known for their huge breasts, which they never cover (except occasionally during times of war) and the ample and delicious milk they provide.<br/><br/>The Giants of Amalor are not the ugly twisted creatures of legend and myth that some would physically protray them to be, but rather more like merely humans of large scale.  They tend to be 18-20 feet tall on average, though some half-breeds can be found who are only 10-12 feet in height.  They otherwise appear as any other human Amalorian (as previously described).<br/><br/>The Mermaids of the shallow sea are, as all their kind, human above the waist, and fish below.  Their hair color and scale color can vary widely.  They are bigger in size than most Mermaids found elsewhere and usually more athletic and stronger.  They are not as numerous, however.  Their large breast size aids them in buoyancy but makes deep dives more difficult.  The Mermaids sometimes visit surface locations with the aid of special magic which allows them to breathe and remain wet.  Surface travel is difficult for them, however.<br/><br/>The Tritons of Amalor are a blue-skinned race with fish-like legs and human-type torsos with barely-noticeable gill slits on their necks and  webbed hands.  Hair color tends to range from light blue to dark blue to black.  They suffer from the same problems with surface travel as the Mermaids, but still manage it from time to time with special magic.  They have trained dolphins to serve them much as humans have trained dogs, however the dolphins seem much more intelligent and can communicate.  All of the Aquatics speak the same language as the dolphins (to humans it sounds like clicks and high-pitched squeals), but can also speak the Amalorian language as well (though only above the sea).<br/><br/>The Shapeshifters appearances varies greatly.  Their true forms are unknown to most, even other Amalorian citizens.  There is nothing identifiable about them to indicate they are anything than what they currently appear to be.  In many cultures their presence would incite paranoia and they would be hunted down and exterminated.  To the Amalorians, they are novel allies and useful to have around.  During some celebrations a few Shapeshifters are known to reveal their abilities, in the spirit of sexual pleasure, but still never reveal their actual true forms.  It is believed this is more because they don't wish to unnerve their fellow Amalorians by their true forms (which is said to be frightening), rather than out of any other motive.  Many Amalorians believe the Shapeshifters to be children of the Goddess of Change/Chaos, and their presence here keeps her appeased.  It would be a bad omen for the country should the Shapeshifters ever disappear.<br/><br/><strong>Military/Defense: </strong>The Amalorian nation is somewhat legendary (or notorious) in that at a moment's notice it can turn the entire population into a highly effective, expertly trained fighting force.  This is entirely due to the fact that all citizens are soldiers and trained from a young age in the arts of combat.  The military regimen continues all throughout life, and dominates the entire culture, ensuring a perpetual state of readiness for battle.  The military, itself, is divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery, and navy.<br/><br/>The Infantry consists primarily of humans, armed with long spears, shortswords (for stabbing), and armored in very heavy Eldrithium armor consisting of breastplate (covers front/back), helmet, armguards, and leg guards.  They also carry a large round shield emblazoned with the mark of their division.  The metal alloy of the armor and shields comes from a mineral found only in Amalor thus far.  Eldrithium typically can only be found in molten form miles underground but seismic activity has caused it to be found in a few rare places near the surface at a few locations.  This metal can be worked into armor as hard as steel and is strongly resistant to magic of all sorts.  It is particularly heavy, however, and because of it's nature, cannot be enchanted to be lighter (the Dark Elves have tried for centuries and failed).  Nevertheless, Eldrithium armor is still used by the infantry, and quite effectively at that, thanks to their muscular physiques (the armor serving to make them stronger the longer they wear it, a perpetual work-out).  The anti-magic effects of the armor will not provide any extra protection against some spells (such as fireballs, explosive iceballs, and other similar area-effect concussive spells) but is very effective against enchanted weapons, magicked arrows, and person-targeted spells (such as lightning bolts and magic missiles).   The infantry makes up the backbone of the army, and contains the highest number of troops.  Expertly trained in a wide variety of fighting tactics, on a variety of different terrains, and totally fearless, this is one of the most well-respected (if not outright feared) and highly effective military shock-troops in the world.  The Infantry, by itself and working alone without any of the other military branches, has achieved remarkable victories in the past over much more numerous and powerful foes.  It is perhaps a fortunate thing for others that the Amalorians are no longer seeking to expand their borders.<br/><br/>The Cavalry consists mainly of centaurs.  Armed with powerfully strung elven-made composite longbows (most are enchanted, allowing perfect accuracy for incredible distances) which pack more destructive force than a small ballista.  The most lethal aspect of the bows, however, is that most are enchanted to allow the user to visually target enemies far far away, even beyond normal visual distances.  The arrows are specially constructed by the Dark Elves to pierce even the thickest enchanted armor and the arrowheads designed to shatter inside the target, leaving dozens of sharp metal barbs inside the body.  Some Dark Elven arrows contain deady poison, while others are designed for other effects (smoke,  fire, electrical shock, etc).  Centaur troops are capable of a high degree of accuracy with their bows even while running at full speed (though certainly more deadly when standing still), making them a highly manueverable and very deadly military unit.  The secondary weapon of the Centaurs is the long spear.  When hurled, these weapons do more damage than even the arrows from the composite bows, but the range is halved.  Most human-sized foes would not survive a direct hit, but the rare local venom applied to these weapons (courtesy of the Dark Elves) ensures that even a scratch would quickly lead to sickness (and eventual death).  The third weapon of the cavalry is the shield and sword, when battle is at close range.  A two-handed sword is a one-handed weapon in the hands of the massive centaurs, and the huge shield is twice the size of a typical infantry shield.  During times of war the Centaurs shod their hooves in spiked metal.  The mass rushing attack of the Centaur cavalry is terrifying to behold, and the sheer weight of these huge warriors would crush even the most well-armored foe.  Excellent night-vision also allows the Centaurs to function just as well in dark conditions as in daylight.<br/><br/>The Artillery, made up of Giants and Dark Elves and Half-Elves, is divided into two types: Heavy and Light.<br/><br/>Heavy Artillery units are comprised of the Giants.  The Heavy Artillery division includes truly massive siege weapons capable of inflicting<em>tremendous</em>damage.  Most of these siege weapons can only be operated by Giants (because of the size of the machines and the strength required to load them).  The ammunition is often of three types, the first is a type of sphere which explodes on impact and throws out tiny metal pellets in all directions with great force (anti-personnel).  The second is a huge heavy sphere with 8 spiked 10 foot chains attached to it which is fired at solid structures (effectively punching through walls or destroying buildings).  The third is a spiked ball which can be filled with various payloads (flaming oil, diseased substances, explosive chemicals, etc).  The Giants possess many different types of siege weapons (and new ones are always being tested) but seldom take part in the invasion of other lands.  These horrific weapons of destruction are used only in the defense of Amalor, fortunately.<br/><br/>The Light Artillery is comprised of the Half-Elves and Dark Elves.  Master snipers, these troops are able to fire at the enemy from great distances away with unerring accuracy.  Using smaller versions of the bows made for the Centaurs, the Dark Elves and Half-Elves are no less deadly with them and, given sufficient time, can whittle away any army into nothing with constant sniping from up to a mile away.  Also masters of stealth, the Dark Elves and Half-Elves can cause just as much damage and chaos when up close and unseen.  The forests and wooded hills are their preferred killing grounds, and hit-and-run tactics are their main strategy.  It is rare when these units fight on open ground, but they are expertly trained to do so, nevertheless.  Armed with mithril shortswords and armored in mithril chain and helmets, these troops can sneak into enemy territory silently (owing to enchanted elven boots), slit the throats of guards, sleeping troops, sentries, etc., and quickly make their way back out before an alarm can be sounded.  When defending city walls, the Dark Elves and Half-Elves typically man the light siege weapons of their own design.  Less destructive than those of the Giants, these weapons can be fired more often, owing to a rapid auto-fire mechanism limited only by the amount of ammunition on hand.<br/><br/>The Navy is comprised mostly of Humans and Aquatics (Sea Elves, Tritons, and Mermaids).  The Humans serve aboard large Triremes, which are armed with siege weapons fore and aft as well as huge and very sharp ""beak"" on the front of the ship below the water line (this weapon used for ramming).  The Human troops are armed with bows and spears for distance attacks, and swords/shields for close-up fighting and boarding.  The ships are treated wth a special resin found in the area so as to be fire-resistant.  The sails and decks are lined with the same resin.  It's possible to still set fire to an Amalorian warship, but it takes much longer (or requires a much higher degree of heat).  For this reason, the Amalorian warships typically employ fire against other vessels, since there's less risk to themselves.  Of special note is a hot sticky flaming liquid that the Amalorians have discovered (and kept a closely guarded secret) which has thus far proven to be very effective against most other vessels and troops.  Fired from a cannon (via a pump mechanism), ""Amalorian Fire"" has a range of up to 120 yards and continues to burn on the surface of the water for nearly an hour.  These large warships are only used in the open sea, out beyond the reef wall.  Inside the shallow sea the Amalorians employ smaller, quicker, and more manueaverable warships dubbed Destroyers.  These vessels are wind-powered (though they can be oared if necessary) and lighter armed than the huge Triremes, with a much shallower draft, allowing them to skim over the deadly reefs below and easily dart past exposed rocks.  Neither ship is particularly effective during a storm or bad sailing conditions, however, and are prone to capsize when faced by extremely rough seas with exceptionally high waves.<br/><br/>The Aquatic troops make up the Marines and are specially trained to fight below the surface of the sea.  Using sharp coral spears tipped with lethal venom (from a variety of sea creatures), wickedly barbed shortswords, and sturdy tridents, they are able fighters beneath the waves.  They normally employ their loyal dolphins, quite intelligent sea mammals, in their attack strategies.  The Dolphins are capable of shooting through the sea at great speed and striking a swimming target with tremendous force, killing most human sized foes with one hit, and stunning larger ones.  The Tritons, and Mermaids are capable of surviving on the surface for only short times without special magical aid to allow them to breathe the air (not so for the Sea Elves, who can breathe both air and water), so they have perfected ""hit-and-submerge"" tactics to an art form.  They are also expert saboteurs, using hand drills to pierce the hulls of ships, and large ropes and nets equipped with barbed grapnels to latch onto the sides of smaller vessels and capsize them (using the combined might of several Aquatics working together).  The effectiveness of these troops are strictly limited to the seas, but they are quite capable forces in their element.<br/><br/>Part of Amalor's defenses is the terrain of the country itself.  There is a huge reef wall that surrounds the islands and the coastline which would tear the bottom out of even the sturdiest of vessels (and even metal-hulled ships fare no better) and the sea around the islands and coast is very shallow, and almost a maze of channels.  Seagoing Amalorians are well-aware of how to navigate the shallow sea, but foreign captains typically have no access to this information (hence the unusually high number of shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea).  Even careful Amalorian vessels sometimes founder or get washed up on the shoals during sudden storms, so weather patterns are carefully monitored and the advice of the Aquatic races of Amalor is well-respected by the Navy.<br/><br/>Spells cast into the country from areas outside of it don't seem to work (or work very poorly), for unexplained reasons.  The dual effect is that spells cast from Amalor into other countries also has the same difficulty.  It is as if there is some unseen barrier or screen of static that interferes with the transmission of long-range spells.  Magic cast inside the nation works quite well, however, but only for the Amalorians, it seems.  Many foreign spellcasters who have visited the country have reported that they still had problems working their magic, whereas the native born Amalorian spellcasters had no such problems.  Some believe that the mana of the region differs from that of other areas and merely takes a long period of time for the body to soak it in before magic can be properly cast.  The military does contain some spellcasters but exactly how many may vary greatly (this is perhaps done intentionally so that the enemy never know precisely what the capabilities are of any given legion).  Knowledge of every inch of the terrain in their country (a byproduct of constant patrols and manuevers) gives the Amalorians a huge advantage when fighting invaders in their own country.  However, the Amalorians are at an equal<em>disadvantage</em>when fighting abroad in strange lands.<br/><br/><strong>Lifestyle: </strong>Amalorians are a no-nonsense, practical, industrious, and brave people.  Some detractors have compared them to ants, forever toiling away, serving their queen and society with single-minded fanaticism, and fiercely fighting as a single unit with steely determination.  Others have compared the country to a vast beehive, no less apt an analogy, since bees serve their queen with total loyalty, are usually female, hard-working, fight bravely, and typically force males completely out of the hive.  An interesting pair of comparisons, given that the very first known race to colonize Amalor were, indeed, a race of sentient insectoid creatures.<br/><br/>In Amalor, unlike some other countries, sex is seen as a basic necessity and practiced openly and often.  Public orgies are typical, usually taking place as part of some religious service, holiday, or royal decree.  Lust is viewed by Amalorians as a positive emotion, and romance is looked down upon as a foolish and wasteful frivolity.  Sex with multiple partners is common, and there is no stigma attached to it, but there is a stigma attached to prudery and having relations with only one partner (which is rude in Amalor).  The sense of moral outrage some foreigners might feel towards a ""whore"" is exactly the same disdain Amalorians would feel towards those who typically abstain from sex, seeing such individuals as either conceited or timid.  Unsurprisingly, in sexual matters the Amalorians are as fierce and brazen as they are in combat; it's just another type of battlefield to explore and conquer.  Sex between females and females is common, as it also is between futas and futas, and futas and females.  There are virtually no sexual taboos in Amalor, and certain open celebrations that are fun and lively to the Amalorians would likely cause total shock and even disgust to envoys from a few other lands.  This doesn't deter the Amalorians in the slightest and most look upon it as a good thing, sort of like ""weeding"" a garden in order to keep it in order.  Amalorians abroad, however, are respectful of the ways of their hosts, whatever they may be.  Amalorian travelers to other nations may politely engage in sex, but in most circumstances they are only biding their time until they return to Amalor in order to indulge all their<em>true</em>carnal desires.<br/><br/>Amalorians are always born to a futa and a full female.  Babies are born as either futa or full female.  Typically the pregnant mothers deliver with the help of a priestess, as all priestesses are well-trained in healing and many possess regenerative magic to aid the process.  After being born, the child is raised by either the futa or female parent (sometimes both) until the age of six.  The child is then raised by the state and educated/trained by the military until age 18.  The age range varies depending on different races (Dark Elves, for example, start later in life), but the time span of service is roughly equivalent.  Even after the training/education period ends, the individual is forever part of the military and it remains a lifelong duty.<br/><br/><em>Strengths:</em>Military might (first and foremost, one of the most experienced and best trained armies in the the region at present, and can quickly mobilize virtually the entire population with incredible speed), usually pleasant climate, abundant (and still largely untapped) resources, divine magic (at times this is also a weakness), sexual hedonism, effective communication system that allows quick coordination and information dispersal, and the entire area is a veritable archaeological treasure trove.<br/><br/><em>Weaknesses:</em>Unstable geology (earthquakes, volcanic activity), occasional very powerful hurricanes (typhoons and floods), no males are allowed to remain here (only females and futas can be citizens), history of poor relations with other countries, foreign spellcasters at a disadvantage (though this is also a strength if faced by hostile mages), no spell-casting units, no flying capability, and some very dangerous predatory creatures/monsters exist in the wilderness and the ruins."

we cannot easily manufacture here?  They are the most ludicrous examples of what happens when the goddesses are not obeyed...""  War-Mistress Gymnasthena began.<br/><br/>""AND a few have even been cursed by their own!""  High Priestess Narina hastily added, crossing her arms.<br/><br/>""That is why we are tasked to open up relations with them.""  Cooly intoned the Tyrant Queen as she gazed at the two most powerful people in the nation, below her of course.  The closest thing she had to friends, though it was a wary relationship.<br/><br/>""But they are filled with the highest degree of hubris, they honestly think they can defeat us in battle, some display the most obnoxious arrogance that it was all I could do not to slay them where they stood!""  The War-Mistress spat the words out with obvious disgust.<br/><br/>""Yes, and some have said the same about us, I am sure.  And besides not all of them are so foolish.  The defeats we easily handed them during their last aborted invasions was not a lesson lost on the wise.""  the Queen replied, lifting a silvery cup on a nearby table and studying the intricate engravings.  ""Besides, it is good if their military underestimates our capabilities.  It works in our favor for them to continue doing so at their extreme peril.""<br/><br/>""Ah, so you have plans to invade?  This 'diplomatic nonsense' is just a ruse then?""  Gymnasthena smirked.<br/><br/>""No, I plan to consolidate the holdings we have and this will take time.  This 'diplomatic nonsense' is very real and not a deception.  I will need capable people I can trust to embark on these important information-gathering missions to other lands.""  The Queen answered, setting down the cup.<br/><br/>""What about the males?""  Narina asked, arching an eyebrow.  ""For ages the priestesses of the 12 Divines have kept the sperm pools pure, surely you do not plan to infect them now with foreign males polluting it with their taint.""<br/><br/>""Rest easy, Narina, I am not advocating the abandonment of Amalorian law, merely sending envoys out to see where things now stand.  As you know, we are not the most well-liked nation amongst our neighbors.  They make multitudes of excuses, hide behind veiled lies, and write history books with glaring omissions, but the fact remains they don't like us because we've bloodied their noses in the past and they know we could have done much more than that if we'd wanted to.  However, it's poor strategy to take more land than one reasonably needs or can competently defend.  Better, and more cost-effective, to set them up as trading partners and get their resources that way.  We also avoid the contamination of their cultures and maintain our own integrity.""  The Queen replied, walking over to a tapestry, idly feeling the fabric.<br/><br/>""Feh, I doubt any sane Amalorian would likely be overjoyed to adopt the ways of several of those lands I've been informed of, anyway.""  The High Priestess said, curling her upper lip.<br/><br/>""Correct.  So what are you worried about?""  Queen Elissandra nodded at Narina.<br/><br/>""The goddesses protect us with their mighty powers here, but when we go abroad we are rolling the dice.  It is not safe and a great risk.""  Narina answered, looking wary.<br/><br/>Nothing worthwhile is anything less.""  Shot back the Queen.  ""Trust in me, Narina.  You are not the only one who hears the requests of the Goddesses.""<br/><br/>""If this is all to come to pass, then, what is your intent?""  Gymnasthena queried.<br/><br/>The Queen's cold blue eyes regarded her general.  ""Simple.  My plan is to investigate a handful of nations and see if they can prove useful to us.  I have set my eye on Belka, Velar, Vassaloth, Mystoria, Unterhia and Mu-urth Doriel.""<br/><br/>""I thought Mu'urth Doriel was just a myth.""  Gymnasthena replied.<br/><br/>""No, several tritons have confirmed it is quite real, but well hidden and far deeper below the waves than many would have suspected.""  The Queen answered, revealing a mystery not known to most Amalorians.<br/><br/>""Well, that only leaves one of the aquatic Amalorians to perform the task of envoy there.""  Gymnasthena added, nonplussed by the revelation.<br/><br/>""Not so.  The priestesses have enchanted a ring that allows the wearer to breathe underwater and survive the enormous pressure of even the deepest submarine abyss.  It was costly to create, so only a few exist at present.  I had been meaning to use it to tour some of the aquatic temples in the shallow sea and take part in several rituals there, but...""<br/><br/>""Well, then you can put the ring to better use by going to Mu'urth Doriel.""  Queen Elissandra replied, sharply, cutting off Narina in mid sentence.<br/><br/>""Yes, your majesty.""  Narina responded, knowing better than to countermand what was effectively a direct order from the Tyrant Queen.<br/><br/>""And of me?""  War-Mistress Gymnasthena asked, dropping to one knee.<br/><br/>""I have already sent messengers to the other nations, and await a reply.  Whichever nation is the first to reply that they will accept you as envoy of Amalor is the one you will be sent to.""<br/><br/>""Very well, your highness.""  Gymnasthena said, with a bow.<br/><br/>""There will be a third envoy, to come later, but you two will handle the initial task.  Instructions will be given to you both before you embark and you are expected to return here regularly to my court until your diplomatic replacements are chosen.  While in your host countries you are expected to learn as much as you can and be respectful of your hosts.  If they prove to be dishonorable and bring you to harm you can rest assured that you will be either rescued or avenged.  The 12 Divines do not look lightly on breaking the vow of hospitality between guest and host.  I shall also keep a tight leash on any envoys they send here.  Should they be foolish enough to send male envoys, knowing our strict policy against males, they will be met with an icy reception and soon sent back home.""  The Queen intoned, evenly, thinking about possibly relaxing this rule if she found the males exotic enough.  The undersea nagai of Mu'urth Doriel had some erotic potential, as did perhaps one of the big demons from Velar...<br/><br/>""We shall begin preparations to embark at once, your majesty!""  Gymnasthena barked, standing now and donning her helmet.  ""Come, Narina, there will are many things I would speak to you of before we go.""<br/><br/>As the second and third most powerful Amalorians departed the throne room, the Tyrant Queen watched them go, and icily regarded a map on the wall, a candle near its edge.  How easy it would be for the flame to lick just a few inches higher and burn the corner and allow the flame to spread across the entire map until it was destroyed.  How small and inoffensive the candle was when compared to a torch or bonfire, yet given enough time, was capable of causing just as much destruction.<br/><br/>""Let the 12 Divines decide.""  With a chilling smirk, the Tyrant Queen turned and walked away.<br/><br/><br/>***************************************************************************<br/><br/>On the next morning the Tyrant Queen was surprised to find a trio of Dark Elves petitioning for an audience.  Her curiosity aroused, the Queen allowed them to approach and discovered their news was quite interesting, indeed.<br/><br/>While exploring a new cavern complex on a Southern island they had come across a titanic stone statue, in ruins, but obviously depicting a reptile man.  Alerting the scholars and the priestesses, it was soon learned, via magical means, the statue was well over a million years old and definitely of the Second Age, the era when the reptile men ruled the world.  Exploring further, it was found the statue contained some sort of jewel inside its chest.  Despite repeated and determined efforts by the Diviners and the Sacred Seers in the priesthood, no information spells seemed to work on the jewel.  It gave off a powerful magical aura, so strong that its upper limits can only be guessed at, but it still contained a powerful magical essence that has not diminished one iota in all these years.<br/><br/>Not sure what else to do, the expedition decided to bring this find to the Tyrant Queen herself, and present the jewel and give a full report.<br/><br/>Queen Ellissandra calmly regarded the jewel...more of a crystal, really...which gave off a very faint bluish glow.<br/><br/>""Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  I shall endeavor to find other means to unlock its secrets and, if possible, put them to work for the good of all Amalor.  You shall all three be elevated in rank and given a reward.""<br/><br/>""Praise be to you, your majesty!""   The trio then departed, quite pleased with their work, not noticing the worry on the face of their Queen.<br/><br/>""Send for Narina!  At once!""  Elissandra bellowed to one of the guards.<br/><br/>Shortly, Narina appeared through the archway, naked and covered from head to toe in sperm.  ""What is it your Highness?  I was just blessing the sacred sperm font when I got your request and...""<br/><br/>""We have a problem.  Do you see this?""  The Tyrant Queen held aloft the jewel.<br/><br/>""Yes, it is gem of some..... No.... that couldn't be....""  Narina looked wide-eyed in recogniton.<br/><br/>""Yes.  It is another.  The sages confirmed it as Second Age.  I had thought we had gotten rid of them all ages ago.  How they work is still as much a mystery now as it was back when Queen Elina took power and united the country.""<br/><br/>""Few are aware of them, and fewer yet know of the potential rewards and dangers associated with them.""  Narina added, a bit nervously.<br/><br/>""Correct.  That is why I wish for you to take this item to Vassaloth and perhaps see if the Lizardfolk there can provide any further information.  It may take some...convincing....but I'm sure you are able to see it is for the greater good.  I suspect the Lizardfolk that dwell there are distantly related to the great Reptile Men of the Second Age and they may have information deep in their archives relating to these crystals.  It cannot be allowed for these devices to be uncovered by pure chance.  Sooner or later someone will unwittingly...""  The Queen's voice trailed off, thinking about the disappearance ten years ago of Battle-Mistress Klythemnastra, Gymnasthena's sister.<br/><br/>""I completely agree.""  the High Priestess continued.  This cannot be left to a regular messenger or agent.  An important task such as this is one I must bear and I shall serve you in this, as in all ways, my Queen.""  With a bow, Narina felt the tug of destiny and a measure of uncertainty as well.<br/><br/>""Arrangements will be made.  You shall depart at once.""  Elissandra replied, without any hint of emotion.  The queen gave the crystal to her High Priestess and watched her leave, unsure if she would ever be seen again.  It was a gamble in many ways but one that could be well worth it.  In the past, when these crystals had been tampered with it always ended in disaster, but if they could be harnessed they could usher in a new golden age.  That alone was worth the life of a single High Priestess, even if it was one she was fond of.<br/><br/>"

There was no way she could move one of them with one hand alone.<br/><br/>The moment she touched it waves of new emotions was sent through her. It was true they were magical. She could feel its sensations as if they were her own. Perhaps an evolutionary matter preventing those servicing the queen from injuring them. Either way the moment that happened the urge to suck was everything. Immediately Fiona fell to her knees and thrusted the tip of the topmost phallus into her mouth.<br/><br/>Her eyes closed, trying to think of anything else its new sensations flooded though her was impossible....<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Queen Elissandra rasped, widening her thighs a bit more as she felt the sucking mouth of this tiny supplicant on the enormous bulbous head of her uppermost penis.  The tiny herm was not a futa, like the others...she was not physically big and strong like the others...and her bearing was somewhat different from the typical citizen.  Elissandra regarded this tiny girl not as a freak, though, but as a unique commodity, a rare and unusual gift which has now been presented to her to utilize to momentarily satiate the gnawing ever-present sexual hunger which is every Amalorian ruler's weakness since the first of the female Tyrants seized power.  Elissandra regarded it as a method put in place by the goddesses to keep the mortals in line, but of course, to say as much would invite their wrath for no good reason so she had always kept her own counsel on such matters.<br/><br/>Her eyes half lidded, her breathing becoming more labored, and her body slightly undulating on the soft throne, Elissandra's thoughts gradually became muddled as pleasure overtook her.  This tiny girl was accomplished at her task...so much so that the Queen placed both hands on the girl's head firmly and began to slowly drive forward with her hips, not content to wait for her to get used to the incredible girth.  Elissandra hissed between clenched teeth as she struggled to get her cock into the girl's tight wet throat, gagging her and from the sounds the girl was making, possibly even dislocate her jaw.<br/><br/>Not caring for the girl's aching jaw, Queen Elissandra continued slowly going deeper, trying to get at least half of her cock into this girl's gullet just to see if the young one could take that much without passing out.  The priestesses were always on hand if things turned out too badly, after all.  They were always on duty, as Elissandra didn't believe in being gentle nor kind in her quest for either power or pleasure.  A point had to be made to all who sought favors from a Tyrant Queen of Amalor.<br/><br/>Her lower cock resting heavily on the girl's chest like an ogre's club, Ellisandra moaned again, eager to make this little slut puke on her cock and it wouldn't take very long from the sounds of distress she was making.  Still, Ellisandra had to feel a small degree of respect for the spirit the small one was showing for someone her size.  To Elissandra's surprise, the girl's cheeks hollowed out as she started to actually SUCK on the massive member.  Such boldness!  Yes...this one was a true Amalorian in spirit, defiant to the last."

Not many didn't mentioned nature of significance of the Queen's phallus', some focused exclusively on it.<br/><br/>Those that did detail them most directly temples that held symbols most scholars didnt understand.<br/>Those that claimed they did implied things that others found it too hard to believe.<br/><br/>All mentioned though that the two phalluses was a true sign of Royalty - the touch of the goddess.<br/>That have natures of their own which helps the regent manage the fiery populous. With many of the nation being so warlike and hotblooded - sometimes charm is not enough. Sometimes biological control is needed and thus the reason for the goddess' gift to her chosen.<br/><br/>As Fiona managed the first movement of the topmost phallus' enormous head which completely filled her mouth ... the reoccurring themes came to a mind. Like flashes of symbols and their heated meaning.<br/><br/>The first ... the semen is strongly addictive<br/><br/>Some suitable for it can become dependent on it for sustenance and find themselves allergic to other foods<br/><br/>The second - unlike seeds of most animals - the queens seed impregnates every cell of those like Fiona - forcing the person to change into a nature which may manage motherhood.<br/><br/>The third ... that only rare futa's like herself who can be entered in both privates at the same time<br/>are likely to mother royal offspring..<br/><br/>The fourth - it is possible for those who become pregnant by the queen to be pregnant both vaginally and anally in this manner.<br/><br/>The firth - during pregnancy it is primary the phalluses of the offspring that develop .. a pregnancy that only nears completion when the phallus are fully grown.<br/><br/>The sixth- during pregnancy the genitalia of the offspring develops outside the mother while the rest develops inside like other .<br/><br/>.... there where so many others.. such as under some conditions the hymen regrows, internal organs changing to suit .. some of the come could be added to the water supply to change the emotional state of the populous ... all however were extreme.  None really believed them though but what fraction was true was anyone guess for the queens were secretive about these private matters.<br/><br/>The first of the powerful thrust's of the queen send the member fast against the back of Fiona's throat time perfectly at the end of one outlet of breath ... instinctively a pressure wave of pre-come from the member partially filled Fiona's lungs. Involuntarily the fluid triggered a reaction in Fiona forcing her to stuck against her will in time with the next thrust which immediately dislodged her jaw.<br/><br/>One unique property about the herms of the nation is their jaws were like cartilage - and dislocated like a snake. Although nothing was broken, something so abrupt should have been incredibly painful but the head of the queens cock sweated a pain suppressed relieving Fiona of pain which would otherwise send her unconscious.<br/><br/>The next thrust borrowed the member far down Fiona's throat ... at the same time the one underneath it extended with full force in between fionas breasts and below her stomach. The sandwich-motion lifted Fiona off her feet like a rag doll. It should have been so painful ... however fiona's mind was dominated by sensations the phallus were experiencing forced into her experience ... as the members were hers - experiences of incredible pleasure.<br/><br/>Strangely Fiona didnt feel short of air .. it seemed as if the pre-come in her lungs acted like it was packed full of air-humors she needed to not suffocate during the act ...<br/><br/>The last thing Fiona remembered was being Braced by both shoulders as the queen thrusted again ... this time sending the tip of the first member straight into Fiona's own stomach...<br/><br/>"

A few attempts from the strong queen confirmed it.  Being trapped on was something Fiona feared. But there wasn't much she would do about it now.

A popular cleric she started her ministry as a cleric at one of the most decadent temples in the realms serving humans, orcs and well most other clients purposefully getting and giving various diseases to customers. When she finally became a priestess she healed herself and went on the road seeding covens to the goddess in many villages and small towns, some eventually even became clerics and priest led. Some failed but enough survived that it gave her a reputation as a rising star among the faith and her beauty and charms made her exceedingly popular. The fact she is a depraved whore is not exactly unpleasant either she will do anything that is carnal and passionate, some very very unseemly in mixed company. Moving to Breezeport she built a church and whorehouse in the town standing proudly where its hard to miss and close enough to the docks to attract the common element to her place of worship. She hopes to make it a proper temple down the road and likely make the local area more ,um, earthy and pleasant guided by the warm passions of the goddess. She doesn't believe in human sacrifices but does approve of animal ones that involve defiling with the beast sexually before killing it in the most painful way and eating it in a meal, but will not do this until she has a proper temple. (No this is not going to be fully role-played out just ,er, the bringing is said animal and the feat afterword can FADE TO BLACK the in between parts, but she is opposed to human sacrifice its just not a good use of a sex toy.)<br/>"

If nothing else a public evil faith is far less dangerous than secretive cults. In any case this church is known for three things: housing almost all the lower end whores in the city, very active recruitment and the large building that is just plain looking. It also is the only place to buy drugs and poisons (for legitimate uses like farmers to kill vermin).  Of course it IS a working church and holds services promoting the goddesses message of unleashing ones carnal vices in this world and eternal glory of unending lusts in the afterlife. And she is very active in recruitment being beautiful and passionate, publically supportive of the city against certain threats and at least on the surface is not a dangerous cult.<br/><br/>Recruiting is active and among all the classes of the city the very poor young and old to the wealthy who seek diversions and frankly are assured a fun afterlife. The faith encourages members to indulge in sexual license and to use that to recruit more people, and visiting the whores under the faiths protection as a service to the goddess.<br/><br/>The church building is not hard to find its a manor style building with small windows in the whores rooms to small to just break into, even if a halfling but provide light for the whores roms during the day. The main entry hall is a very simple room with a mural to the goddess and erotic art some professional and some from the faithful with some skillss or not. In fact most of the public walls has dirty limericks, erotic sketches, lewdity and perversions of all sorts. The faith encourages this naturally joyous expression of the faith. In the front a Red Lantern a red glass case with a continual light on a fine block of steel in the middle in a metal cage.<br/><br/>The church does offer the normal range of services and ceremonies naturally and does accept donations from the community.<br/><br/>Every 7pm - 12am of the Full Moon is a local Holy Night dedicated to Tlazolet where the faithful must submit to any other member of the faith and use the whores under the faiths protection.<br/><br/>Rites are few there is a Blessing on Newborn Children asking the favor of the deity protect the child and the parents are held obligated to raise the child to be a good future member of the cult. Initiation is done at the age of at least 16 years old and is required to be blessed by a cleric or priest sexually."

Most of the worship takes place in friendly businesses, area farms and homes in Breezeport. Marked by graffitti and sigils she created for her organization many locations exist in the city for meetings of a few to perhaps twenty followers of the faith. Each led by a deacon or deaconess (or both she favors couples), not a cleric but a lay person that proved their merit and who is empowered to hold general services to honor the goddess and recruit others.  Clerics are either private or public the former operate in secret and the later openly work for the faith this is part of her plan to keep the cult as secure as possible until major threats to her goal for a proper church is eliminated."

Such spare dried food is quickly distributed evenly throughout the village, and because the goods were acquired in separate nearby places, poisoning the village as whole is close to impossible.<br/><br/>To the untrained eye the forest about the village is untouched and there is no dependence on a working granary nor milling. The variation of foodstuffs managed this way is as close to a balanced diet as one could hope a village to manage, furthermore the variation of seeding ensures that at least a few seeded plants will be in a state of harvest at any time.<br/><br/>Once every week a small amount of fish is retrieved via nearby rivers, however the quantities are not that high and is used primarily as a flavoring of stews and not really a meal unto themselves. Other than fish, venison, rabbit, and boar can appear on a plate of any villager - but only at times these animals seem to be flourishing.<br/><br/>Typical meals are soups and stews consisting of radishes, roots, fish stock, baby spinach and sweet potatoes.<br/><br/>Food is served in small wooden or stone bowls shaped to be drunk from directly using both hands like a large handle-less cup. The only real cutlery adopted are wooden ladles for serving and implements (such as stone knives) needed for food preparation.<br/><br/>Soups stew in massive stone bowls filled with rainwater on fires of heated stones from the forges used by the blacksmiths and armorers.<br/><br/>All villagers are expected to carry and clean their own supper bowl, the loss of one requires the villager to create their own substitute .. quickly.<br/><br/><strong>Youngling raring</strong><br/><br/>The role of biological parents quickly peaters out after birth of any newcommers into the village, where soon their care is placed unto the village as a whole. As such many women can be seen breastfeeding younglings that are not their own, Although petty comparisons are made, on the whole this greatly aids the cohesion between families.<br/><br/>Knowing who the father is of any youngling in the community is mainly guesswork and no attempts of tracing or recording ancestry is made.<br/><br/>Teaching culture to the young is varied as it is haphazard. Those expressing an interest or aptitude towards skills usually become adopted by those who have mastered them, in hope of having anything between a transitory helping hand and a outright protegee.<br/><br/><strong>Current state </strong><br/><br/>A few powerful individuals (Ie Ayeoa and her followers) with specialized skills have shared a vision of a community which they hold strong hopes for and have recently found an area in the mountains at the crest of a valley overlooking a sprawling forest. Other than these individuals, a few families from a variety of races have taken their chances to dispense of their current lives in hope following Ayeoa's vision. These families more or less get along mainly because none seem to be nosey or opinionated about their history or quirks, usually because they themselves have enough skeletons in their closet not to provoke such habits. All are very easy on the eye even if as a whole they do not pose much of a military threat. Over the course of a few years the town has increased to its current state due mainly to those being paid to construct the castle district falling in love with the town enough to desire to move their families here permanently.<br/><br/><strong>Main Families</strong><br/><br/>Family - The Oranacks. A human family with a river fishing history, taken by the belief deposits of Moonrocks may exist in the rivers banks nearby. If deposits are found, the harvesting would be deemed property of the village, however the family will be granted considerable status and near constant respect for its management.<br/><br/>Family - The Rinn. A human family with varying skills in alchemy and tailoring. The lead member of this family was an alchemist that Ayeoa has hired to attempt to try and use silks to capture precious metals from the river mouths. It is their vision that fine threads of silk will over time be coated in fine layers of gold, platinum or mithril or other exotic metals unheard of. Success would trigger looming of these into ""metallic silks"", cloths of which the villagers would hope to dominate the tailoring and trade of. It is Ayeoa's hope that the alchemist and his family will become permanent citizens, a likely prospect if their efforts prove fruitful.<br/><br/>Family - Greshley. A large outcast elven family shamed by scandal and ridicule. Their knowledge of nature and the woods however has quickly redeemed their use in Ashrae's eyes. Furthermore this family has given the villagers considerable knowledge of editble roots and flowers, herbs and spices found in the nearby, as well as receipies that make stews of which delicious. Currently they have suggested the methodology the village currently adopts for food management.<br/><br/>Family - Uio. A blend of elf and human and halfling blood in equal measures, a fact deemed poorly by all but this very commune they are attracted to. This family has been lingering in and out of peasant-dom in other cities for generations. Most of their linage have at least some affinity to animals, members of which are most likely seen with a wolf at their feet or a more exotic creature as a pet. These ""pets"" are far from permanent or loyal as they effectively are wild creatures found desiring of their company. As such these creatures usually will follow an Uio about for a season or two before moving on. Often however these return at least once a year sometimes with more of their kind, usually during harsh a winter in the hope of easy meals, and safe and warm resting places, something the Uio are all too happy to provide.<br/><br/>Family - Roaoa. A family of Wood elves of a clan who have been displaced by the aggressive cultivation of land a land far away. Historically this family has considerable experience of forest warfare and are constantly speaking of the importance of a dedicated military being created as soon as possible.<br/><br/>Family - Lir. A family with skills in sapping and stone masonry. This family has been principal on designing a layout for a village with requirements of keeping the forest relatively untouched. Currently this family is conducting exploratory sapping to find caves about the crest of the valley.<br/><br/>The rivers about the towne are the freshest in the kingdom but close to freezing. During winter months the waters will partially ice over however due to the waters always moving a channel of the river large enough to permit passage of small ships would be relatively free of ice. Freshwater fish to thrive in these waters, but only ones tolerant of the cold, and in numbers far smaller than their ocean counterparts<br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://fantasyartdesign.com/free-wallpapers/imgs/new/26Castle.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://images.epilogue.net/users/hythshade/Castle_falls.jpg)<br/></div><br/>Although its exterior does give the impression of royal elitism the truth is far from it. Most of its halls are decorated with paintings and erotic statues created by the villagers.  Overseer Ayeoa herself does not reside in the castle for reasons to promote it being viewed as beloning to the village as a whole and to personify a removal of any elitism that comes with positions of station.<br/><br/>She herself resides outside of what she deems is the ""communal castle district"", but often frequents it during the daylight hours dressed without jewlry or adornment or guards, as such is possible to figuratively pump into Ayeoa while she walks about her business, to those doing soon are faced with one who insists on others addressing her on a first name basis.<br/><br/>The ""castle district"" is poorly named as technically there is no castle for there are no castle walls so speak of, it is more district of an opulent conglomeration of round towers strategically built on an island in the middle of the major river running through the village, effectively giving the area an impressive moat and extremely good vantage point to view the surrounding glade at the top of the valley.  Instead of ""castle walls"", dense manicured trees and greenery take their would be place between towers.<br/><br/>Towers of the castle district all have dedicated uses, toped by conical roof's all serve non-military purposes, where round towers those topped by battlement ridges are reserved as the quarters of military personnel.   Each internal non-military tower has one guard on every level and two guarding each entrance.<br/><br/>Non-military conical topped towers are outfitted to serve particular roles, the major ones includes:<br/><br/>* Library and study hall<br/>* meeting place for resolving internal disputes<br/>* markets and trade tower<br/>* Meditation tower<br/>* map room (with one crystal ball fixed mounted into a pedestal)<br/>* food, water and necessities planning<br/>* treasury and accounting<br/>* Guest Quarters for visiting diplomats and guests of honor<br/><br/>All non-military towers are also linked by stone bridges with little cover but with breathtaking views. These exist at every odd level and are often drapped in fine silk vertical drop-banners of colors marking the season or others complimenting a current feastival.<br/><br/><br/>Above the second level these stone bridge walkways are often merged by a interlaced network of wooden decking which are covered during windy and rainy seasons in canvas roofs in the style of a circus marquee.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://www.elegantmarquees.co.uk/images/layout/marquee-gallery-pic2.jpg)<br/></div>During the day these marque settings are used for a communal eating, live music appreciation, while some also serve as platforms for painters and sculptures or players of card card games or board games similar to chess. During dusk these areas of the castle is used to host formal dinners during festivities, speeches, debates, plays and dance carnivals.<br/><br/>These wooden decked platforms are always boarded by stone bridges lined by bird baths, purpose made bird nests and vased-creepers or more exotic flowering plants, all of which in turn overlooks the river and a splendorous landscape of plant and bird life boarderd by ice tipped mountains.<br/><br/>Private decking on the quest quarter tower includes an outside rainwater wooden-bath which is level with the tree canopy, when not in use, birds have taken to use it for their own purposes. While no diplomats or honoured guests to the village are present all are happy to let the birds do with it as they wish.<br/><br/>Three of these decked marquees area's are practically constantly reserved for a santaury of those indulging in drug use from opiates to dream weed to alchohol and are lined with statues of gods promoting such excession. Towers near these areas have rooms filled with hammocks for those too out of their mind to manage stairs safely enough to manage to get back to their own homes in one piece. These hammock rooms nicknamed ""santuarys"", are minimalistically illuminated, have constantly flowing water-fountains and facilities positioned at regular intervals throughout their internal walls. When occupied these rooms are monitored by three to five guards and at least one trainee healer or mystic. Message runners are also used by these rooms to inform occupant families of their members whereabouts.<br/><br/>Regardless of its opulence it is defensible due to very sensibly placed arrow slits and bridges throughout. The defensivility of the castle district would be simular to a Citadel of a third of its size, highly impressive for a small town but very low considering the total price of the stucture itself -<br/><br/>Total estimated fortification worth of the castle district - 70 000 gp,<br/>(actual cost due to decadent finishings is ten times that)<br/><br/><strong>Military philosophy</strong><br/><br/>As the value of life is considered greater than the value of objects, location or pride on being an impressive military force, defense tactics are refined in manners of a more dynamic approach to defense of the townsfolk and not the location itself. This has involved the investment in objects supporting a methodology and lifestyle which aid the harmony, trade, and the safety of retreating civilians in case the site has to be abandoned.<br/><br/><strong>Castle district entrances</strong><br/><br/>The castle has several thin bridges linking it to the rivers nearby. A network of cogs can chains in underground areas of the ""castle"" can break these bridges if the need arises.<br/><br/><strong>Village Center Overview</strong><br/><br/>The village itself comprises of an assortment of stone and wooden constructions where alchemists, blacksmiths and weaponsmiths as well as a host of other trades and services can be found. Most traders have houses merged to their shops. The elves of the town however prefer to live amongst the trees, although most occasionally use human-style residences during times the whim takes them.<br/><br/><strong>The Town's Fantastic Objects</strong><br/><br/><strong>Theadric's Everfull Purse, Gems:</strong>40,000 (creates 800 gp of gems per day) This is always in the treasury and is the towns most guarded and valuable item, although the village can support itself currently with taxes, this object is responsible for the payment of the creation of the castle district, the current treasury buffer as well as other things such as the medallion of empathy - central to the town's governing methodology. This has been used extensively to finance the creation of the towns infrastructure and currently the overseer seeks to employ adventurers to further the towns causes in order to stop being so dependent on the purse.<br/><br/><strong>2 x Medallions of Empathy:</strong>Enables the wearer to read the thoughts and emotions of anyone within 10 yards. This makes the wearer 75% able to detect lies, and 90% able to detect suprise. Worth 30,000gp (Used by those tasked with resolving internal disputes).<br/><br/>The donning of this ceremonial device is a presumed role of being an arbiter to the resolution of internal affairs. Those donning it are previously sworn not to reveal aspects of those they read that does not effect the current matter at hand. If this is abused, punishment for the one abusing is jeopardized in favor of rewarding the victims of the abuse and as well as the recording of the fact such that the abuser is not invited to perform this role again. It is deemed civilian duty to adopt the medallion to resolve bickering of others for a day when the need arises. Occasions where the verdict of the medallion wearer is questioned results in a public debate on the issue, unless the issues is one that creates continual resentment and unworkable emotions, issues escalated in such manners however usually simply become stories told into plays and songs. Although this very simple method of internal resolution does have its flaws and is abused quiet often, it doesn't take long for those respecting its mantle become well known and highly thought after. When this became obvious a new practice was adopted where those seeking resolution through the mediation do have to agree on an arbiter who dons it before the proceedings commence. If an agreement is not made within a two days, the arbiter is determined randomly. When not in use the medallion is placed over one of several statues in a the arbitration room, which is at all times guarded by three guards within and  2 outside each entrance. The second mediation is kept in the treasury in case the current one somehow is broken or made corrupt. The Overseer often does check the medallion for signs of being tainted, cursed or swapped for a fake.<br/><br/><strong>Telepathic Communication Crystal Ball: </strong>20,000 (controlled by Commandings steward to coordinate scouts and commands to military forces)<br/><br/>To most commanders such an advantage would make most forces invincible however although training of the military is seen to professionally<br/>up to half the military at any one time would be inhibited or otherwise unfindable due to the culture which embraces carnal desires. This military weakness is very well known to those in command of the army but the bonding to the townsfolk being lax on this measure is compensated by loyalty to the lifestyle the forces choose to defend. As such tolerating this ever present weakness is deemed a fair trade to not be in constant fear of divisions defecting to other nations or simply leaving.<br/><br/><strong>2 x Normal Crystal Balls</strong>(one which Ayeoa keeps on her person, the other which is reserved to be freely loaned to those charged with the current most important quest concerning the town's wellbeing, this may include being loaned to captains of the village's merchant ships). Other than scouting for nearby armies, the most common of uses for these objects is to find horses, livestock or children thought lost in the woods. While these crystal balls are available no desire to spoil the surroundnig area by using fences is envisaged.<br/><br/><strong>2 x Small Merchant Ships: </strong>These are ships that are occasionally used to ship materials to the town when the need arrises but more often than not are used to service the towns silk trade. These ships are equipped with a balista on its foredeck and have 10 soldiers guarding the ships when in hte towns habour. When set to sail the force on board is usually 50 soliders to ensure trade occurs without incident. [Small Merchant Ship Carries up to 1 million coins in cargo weight, weighs 250,000 coins when empty, requires 10 sailors to sail. Can carry up to 100 passengers for up to 2 weeks, and accomadate 50 passengers indefinately. ]<br/><br/><strong>Population 70 000 </strong><br/><br/>(Fortification value = 70 000 gp)<br/><br/>9 divisions of 333 each (each division is broken down as the following) (total 3000)<br/><br/>100 x Elven Longbowman (6gp each)  600 gp<br/>100 x Crossbowman:  20sp      200 gp<br/>40 x Heavy Infantryman 2gp          80 gp<br/>20 x Pikeman:  3gp          60 gp<br/>30 x Heavy Calvalryman: 6gp*       180 gp<br/>20 x Light Calvalryman: 30sp*       60 gp<br/><br/>1 x alchemist 300 gp          300 gp<br/>1 x Architect: 100gp          100 gp<br/>3 x Carpenter: 90sp            3 gp<br/>1 x Scribe: 15gp*           15 gp<br/>5 x Wagon Driver: 135sp         7 gp<br/>12 x Siege Crewman:  5gp*        75 gp<br/><br/>All equiped with magical weapons, arrows and elvin chainmail (including barding for horses) and payed 130 % typical wages<br/><br/>Total support cost = 1680 gp pm per division, at extra 30 percent pay = 2184<br/><br/>These ""divisions"" are commanded by one of:<br/>9 x Commanding Stewards: 1,000-1,600gp* (commands 200-320 troops) (2 of  which are followers who do not need payment)  (total 11 200 gp pm)<br/>... all reporting to<br/><br/>1 x General (follower - no payment needed)<br/><br/><strong>Total troupe payments = 9 x 2184 + (officers) = 19656 + (11200) = 30 856 pm.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Army Support Services</strong>(these stay stationed in the town and no not travel with the divisions)<br/><br/>16 x Elven Armorer@500gp     = 8,000<br/>22 x Elven Blacksmith @ 150gp = 3300 gp<br/>18 x Elven Fletchers@ 100gp  = 1800gp<br/>6  x Leatherworker @ 1gp     = 6 gp<br/>1  x Sapper: 150gp<br/>1  x Mason: 12 gp<br/>1 x Miner: 15 gp<br/>1 x Sage: 1000 gp<br/>1x Town Crier 10gp (to advertise the towns wanting of adventurers )<br/>Posting notices services 50gp (to advertise the towns want of adventurers)<br/><br/><strong>Total Support Services = 14 343 pm</strong><br/><br/>The Light Calvalryman is mainly used for scouting and messages and harassing supply lines or retreating forces as mobile archers.

Some knew her from the days of the famous defence of the city, other joined later, when her influence and state of a person-to-go grew. They all sat on the second floor of her house, which was also the first crafts shop she opened, gathered round a beech tree table, in the informal atmosphere in which she liked to meet people who didn't get on her bad side.<br/>""I think the day has come for the thing we have already discussed with some of you. It is late spring, and the roads should be good. We are still a very small town, and though we have been lucky to fend off occasional bandits or wandering orcs, there's a lot more of a danger this world has to offer. I heard not long ago about whole nation's capital being raised to the ground by red dragons. If only one such creature would pass into our domain, there is little chance we would have something to oppose it. My belief is that we as human beings must counter nature's raw forces with sapient ingenuity, and so we must seek contact with other players of the domain, and find work, allies, new ideas and experience, so that in case of trouble we won't stand alone and helpless. Thus I ask you, friends, to undertake a journey to other places which come to our knowledge and see if we would find a friendly hand here, or a hand in need, or a wealth of knowledge. Buy horses ((distributes 10,000gp for expenditures)), and go in pairs or trines. Every day I will send my Djinni to check on one of the parties, he will take your messages for me, bring you supplies, and when you will find something interesting he will take me to you.""<br/>The onward discussion followed, with groups being formed and knowledge passed and plans formed. Some decided to remain, while others waited eagerly to explore the new lands. The other day everything was ready, a festive and then a procession was put to see the explorers off.<br/><br/>Month later, a young acolite and a soldier of not much older age, friends for the last couple of years, were bridling their weary horses thru the crossing, now and then stealing a look to the houses and town walls seen afar. The road was a tricky one, more of a path. Not many have heard of this secluded city, only the Glim's Djinni have scouted it and made the way known, and though they shared a lot of pleasant moments together, trudging thru the forest day by day, without the usual distractions of a town, had made them tacit and unruly. Their clothes were ragged, their cheeks raw, their hair clotted from never seing a comb. At least they had a nice tend and warm bed, or they would've been like paupers. Now, a warm bed is what separates a pauper from a citisen, and though disheveled they kept their honour about them, even more so.<br/>""Ho! It's not that far, we might be able to reach them by evening"".<br/>""Earlier than that, Tu Bir. A city with elfs, huh? Won't they all lives in a trees, or something? Had you seen an elf in your life?"".<br/>""Ragiel, Ragiel. Of course I've seen an elf! Twice! He was in a troupe. It was what, ten years from now? I was still a boy!""<br/>""I bet, you was excited!

She was not given any details pertaining to the nature of this secretive meeting but whatever it was, the witchking decided that it is best that this remains out of the public knowledge. Each time Sithera walks in through the dark brooding hallway, brightened up only by the strange hue of violet lights surrounding the tower itself, she couldn't stopped being amazed at the engineering feats of these Vassalothians but still she prefers to stay deep in the marshland where she and her people belongs, after all, someone should keep the lizardfolks in line and their loyalty to the Vassaloth alliance in check. Currently, there aren't too many attendants in the tower, which is a good thing, since the last time she and her people walked through this hall they were greeted with suspiciously glare and terrified stares.<br/><br/>The lizardfolks delegations are a group of ten, 8 feet tall lizardfolks adorned with the barest leather harness and armed with massive stone mace hanging over by their back. Leading the lizardfolk delegation are two distinguishing figures, Sithera as the head of the lizardfolk's delegation and her personal bodyguard, a giant of a lizardlling, who towers over the others with a staggering height of nearly nine feet tall. Unlike the others, this giant lizardling is adorned with ceremonial leather harness with intricate markings all over it and armed with a spear. The bodyguard follows her around faithfully trusting completely in his mistress as they make their way to the center of of the hall.<br/><br/>The moment she stepped onto a round slab at the center of the hall, the lizardfolk delegation were greeted with a surprise when the slab suddenly floats vertically above. It moves rather slowly and there are no railings to prevent anyone from falling to their death, yet it is large enough for twenty people on it and is the only means of transportation to the upper levels in the tower. As soon as they reached the top floor of the tower, the shaman led the lizardfolk delegation into a familiar sight to her, the throne room of the witchking.<br/><br/>The witchking was seen near the east side wall overlooking the large map of the charted territories. His cold calculative demeanor, the same as always as he paces back and forth between the map and the table located a few feet away from the wall.<strong>""Lord Ssseraphicussss,....you wished for my presssencesss?""</strong>, she spoke making note of her arrival to the witchking, Seraphicus quickly turns around and pulled down his hood, revealing a rather handsome and fair looking shadow elf underneath. His cold violet eyes stares on to each of the lizardfolk warriors before turning to the shaman.<br/><br/><strong>""Come here for a moment Sithera, I wished to share something with you""</strong>, he spoke, and at the behest of the witchking she complied and walked to the table where the witchking awaits, on the other hand, she signals for the rest of her warriors to not follow her as this seems to be a delicate and sensitive matter best discuss between leaders of the nation. The lizardfolk shaman now stood near the witchking and as expected of any lizardling, even females, she stood strong and prideful even in the presence of their great ruler. Seraphicus wastes no time with the formalities and points his finger to the map, precisely to the barren lands south of Tovlok.<br/><br/><strong>""Do you know what's there, Sithera?"",</strong>he asked her and the lizard shaman shook her head immediately, after all her people had not dared to explore that far before.<strong>""An opportunity, the wastelands had never been forgiving and yet we thrive, we thrive at the most unlikeliest of places because we found the resources needed to survive and prospered...""</strong>.<br/><br/><strong>""But mylord,...that land issss...nothing more than a wassssteland...""</strong>, she interrupted him, fortunately the witchking is not someone to take offense at such a small transgression,<strong>""...we cannot...thrive there""</strong>.<br/><br/>The witchking smiles in content, what appears in the others eyes as nothing more than a barren patch of wasteland is no less than an opportunity for his kingdom,<strong>""...and yet there was once a kingdom that thrived there as much as we do, this kingdom built upon a wasteland and if that land had once supported life it could do so again, perhaps there's a hidden secret of that kingdom's survival lies deep within its ruins""</strong>. Sithera made a grunting noise equal to a sigh for any of the warmblooded races but then again this witchking had made some tough yet wise decision in the past so she thought that she might as well trust him this once.<strong>""There are secrets that lies deep in the ruins of Flaegra and I want you to find out what it is and bring it back for the glory of our nation, and also see if the land of Flaegra is still useful for supporting another settlement""</strong>, the witchking turns away from the map and back to his throne where he sat there, cold and content with his decision.<br/><br/>The lizardfolk shaman did not wished to argue and if it does turns out that there's something beneficial in the ruins then all the better since it would benefit her people and further strengthened the alliance with the Vassalothians. She took a slight bow and then turns her back as she walks out of the throne room, escorted by her warriors.<br/><br/><hr/>Two days later...<br/><br/>At the behest of the witchking, the lizardfolks set out for a mission deep into the ruins of Flaegra. Sithera went back southeast to the marshlands and muster up a small army of two hundred lizardfolks and set out immediately to the ruins across the mountain. Supposedly, her bodyguard knows quite a bit about the mountain pass that leads further to the south and after days of trudging through the perilous mountain pass, they finally arrived down the mountain to a patch of desert wastelands and across the dunes, her lizard eyes focuses on the tall and crumbling structures in the distant horizon.<strong>""Sssso...I believe we have arrived,....Sssseshkar?""</strong>, she called on to her nine foot tall bodyguard who now stands just behind her."

That was back when the world was young and the culture grew to magnificent stature. Well beyond any of its day and the carved the stone out of the mountain and used the river as an entrance out to the sea. Stones of great wealth ...erupted for the taking ..rubies, diamonds ..and stones that sparkled ending up adorning the proud people of Flaegra. They had livestock and great herds that gazed the open lands. An Utopia to far exceed that of any ancient civilization but as with all things there is an evil that comes with greatness. Their own greed and unwillingness to share their fortunes with others is what began the curse long ago that wiped them out.<br/><br/>Whispers now spread across this barren land of the tale of woes that swirl in the small dirt funnel clouds that dance upon the dunes that lead up to all that remain. Now the few that do pass stop and look at what marking is left of the great people and wonder who build such a place. Centuries have passed since that time and few dare to remain in the land long for the ghosts of the past tend to crept in the dark of the night. Many who stay to long find members of their party missing without a trace as to where they have gone. Rumors of this generally tend to make travelers stay clear of the Ruins of Flaegra but every so often the mountains offer up another chance to those hidden by the curse.<br/><br/>What all of that past civilization was known to the coming of those sent by the mighty witchking will remain a secret held with him. His choice of sending the Lizardfolk seems an interesting one indeed but out of the Marshlands they came to marching to the call by their duty to another into a world they may never forget. As the troops moved over the side of the mountain through a narrow pass that bears a warning all but barely visible and weathered down by the fierceness of the wind and time itself.

What would becoming unnerving very quickly would be the silence. Nothing seemed to move ..the sound of the 200 hundreds dragged footsteps. But when they all stopped other than the sound of their cold blooded hearts there would be nothing. No bird flew over the sky unless they brought one with them. No small animal or critter scurried across their path. Once the could see out into the wasteland it seemed to have no wind for a good 100foot perimeter around the side of the mountain.<br/><br/>And then there stood this alcove of perfect rounded cut stone staked on top of each other the masonry work of it seemed to still be holding and it was built into the wall of the mountain. the red hard clay like swirls on the rock seemed like the only movement that was happening. Painted as if in bloody tears. That was the color ...blood tears that had dried on the stones and crumbled to dust on the floor. The rings .. the smoothness of the walls. The Erie feeling one got in his gut as if knowing they had just entered a place once sacred and had been ruined but by what . What caused a kingdom to just not exist anymore ? Or did they ..<br/><br/>Sesshkar came to a stop as he shifted his mighty weight to one side.

Tilting it as there seemed to be small square holes cut into the rock face they were dark .. as he motioned with his hand .<strong>"" Place a stake here to mark this spot.

Fine on the eyes to look at but that was another matter.<br/><br/>He looked at her ...wondering her thoughts on this place but would not ask her. Watching the one move and two of them pound the marker into he ground . A small rest given to the troops a chance to drink and rest the tired muscles. As he moved down farther now leaving her side his mouth dropped down some ... it was magnificent though he preferred the swamps as he snorted .<strong> "" Land forgotten by water it seems ..but still there is life I feel it in my gut....none moving above ground , the silence of this place unnerves me .. we should best keep on our toes.

Sesshkar was quick to take hold of the situation, fully understanding that the shaman has no knowledge aside from her shamanistic arts but Sesshkar being a veteran warrior of the lizardfolks and had traverse lands far and wide has much more experience in dealing with the matter at hand than her and she was wise enough to let him take control. The first order of business is rest, she looked as Sesshkar ordered one of the lizard warrior to plant a stake to mark a spot where they are, perhaps it would serve as a marker of sorts when they want to go back, either way she has no reason objecting to what he thought he knew what he was doing.<br/><br/><strong>""Fetch the water""</strong>, she orders one of the nearby lizard warrior and immediately, the lizard warrior went to the nearby leather backpack and took out a rather large leathery pouch. Sithera took a large leather pouch from the lizardling and immediately pour the muddy water from within the pouch all over her dry scaly skin. Her brown scale looks dusty after traveling in wastelands for too long but being a lizardfolk, even a pouch of muddy water from the swamps can easily reenergized her. Her scale became wet and shiny once more when the muddy water splashes all over her scaly skin and then the lizard warrior attending to her took the leather pouch and left for the rest of the column.<br/><br/>The desert wastelands had been unforgiving to lizardfolks expedition, after all they are used to the wet and damp environ such as the swamplands to the east, however, over the years of their alliance with Vassaloth has provided them with the needed knowledge to survive in the desert, one of the advantage her people benefits from their alliance with the witchking. Normal lizardfolks like the ones where they once come from would not survive in the desert for even a day but she and her warriors had persevered. She quickly stood up when her personal bodyguard called her and pointed out towards a direction in the distance,<strong>""what isss it Sesshkar?...""</strong>, at first she couldn't see anything, the desert dusts made it all hard for her to see as she is unused to the desert environment.<br/><br/>It took Sithera a few moments for her sight to adjust to the dusts flying everywhere and soon she spotted a tall structure in the distance and looks to be some sort of crumbling tower but stable enough to support a group of people. She quickly noticed what it is Sesshkar is suggesting and couldn't helped but agreed to it,<strong>""only foolsss would be unwary of accursed placesss such as thisss and yesss Sesshkar, I ssseee what it isss you're sugessting...""</strong>, Sithera immediately turn behind towards the her lizardfolks troops resting nearby,<strong>""...I need twenty archersss positioned on that crumbling tower, and a few warriorsss to guard the ssstructure""</strong>.<br/><br/>Sithera knew it is a strategic move to secure the highest point in the ruins to provide the troops with eyes and as a reassurance that they will not be caught unaware, however to post all of her archer troops on the crumbling tower would be disadvantageous as she felt that she would need some of them to travel inside the ruins later on,<strong>""shall we be on the move again Ssseshkar?""</strong>."

Once the rest of her captains have been dismissed, Sesshkar approach her and suggested that they moved down to the enclosure for her own rest and as he placed his hand on her nape, she recognized it for what it is.<br/><br/>Sesshkar has been a very loyal bodyguard to her and for so long have journeyed and travel with her, so it came to no surprised to Sithera when she hard the poetic words he spat out of the blues and the startling revelation of how travelers just simply avoided this place as if its accursed. Sithera nodded throughout Sesskar speech, absorbing it as a piece of knowledge she learns from her underling for she is wise enough to know that knowledge comes from many places even her subordinates and she's well aware enough to know that Sesshkar is far more familiar of the wastes than she is.<strong>""And that may be a dangerousss thing Sesshkar, for who knowsss they may really do call for your sssoul to feed on them...""</strong>, and she chuckles jokingly, referring to the old wives tale of desert demons who purportedly roam these desert calling for lost desert traveler's soul to feed upon them.<br/><br/>It wasn't known to many that Sesskar and the lizardfolk shaman Sithera have an affair, such thing could be considered a scandal in the political courts of the Shadow Elves, fortunately the lizardfolks are protected from the politics of the Vassaloth as if their rights but still, Sithera is far older than Sesshkar, infact in her time of apprenticeship she witnessed herself the hatchlings of the broods grew up and one of them is Sesshkar. So it came to no surprise that now when they are alone, he would approach her, sat beside her, stroke the side of her scaly face and massage her shoulder, a sign of affection between the two lizardlings. She laughed when Sesshkar said that she should stay close to him so that he won't lose her and although it was romantic in its own way it was a bit foolish to underestimate the shaman.<br/><br/><strong>""You do not have to worry Sesshkar, I am powerful enough to fend for myself and there aren't too many demons of the desert who would be foolish enough to tempt my power of our Swamplord""</strong>. She lean over to Sesshkar nonetheless, taking comfort that a stalwart but romantic possible mate of hers is there to guard her with his life if need be.<br/><br/>Come morning, the rest of the lizardfolks troops break camps and assembles for further orders, and the moment they saw the shaman accompanied by her bodyguard, the captains gave order to march forwards into the ruins. The once proud city of Flaegra now lies in ruins, their past civilization mysteriously disappears leaving all these heaps of structural ruins as their legacy or perhaps warning to any foolish enough to venture upon this forsaken wastes. As soon as the small army of lizardfolks arrived upon the tallest ruined tower, the shaman Sithera gestured to her captains and they in turn orders some of the lizardfolk archers to occupy the strategic structure.<strong>""Keep you eyesss open Sesshkar, I trust your instinct to keep us safe here""</strong>."

The ill feeling that something was wrong ...they even in the wisdom of choices made were not in control of what was to take place here. Old wife's tales , stories of travelers ...yes much may be fabricated ..but there can be no smoke without a fire . And the fire burned where exactly and what cost would it be to find the truth of these matters.

The dunes being picked up by the wind with no sound . Eerie was the feeling in the pit of everyones stomach as if they had been treading in a cemetery all night long.

Yet the noise of the braying of the demon still beckoned them. Closing his eyes ...<br/><br/>The party that had went to the round thing out in the desert earlier that night moved in ...one less it seemed was in the party . As the leader of the scouting party bent down falling to his knees before speaking the news .<strong> ""Your Excellency ...We have uncovered the sands from the ruin to the north .. it is a perfect circle ..though covered with sands ...it is perfect in all ways .

As his and on his weapon tightened . Leaving out a hissing snarl ...disgusted with the display of the scout .<br/><br/>And yet the braying noise ...continued to echo ....if investigated ...one would find back at the mountain a cliff just past the point where water had been found bellying up from he earth .<br/><br/>(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/Ruins%20of%20Flaegra/life.jpg)<br/><br/>So not only did this place seem to offer up the gift of water ...but also ...it seemed animal life. Now this was making things even more curious . As the goats drew back away when the lizardfolk climbed the mountain side ... the sound of singing ...a female's voice could be heard .Farther up above seeming in tombed in the mountain side . This one seemed to have no way to reach it though from where they stood. Had to be some way to enter into this mountain ..<br/><br/>(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/Ruins%20of%20Flaegra/rebuilttower.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>Looking back out at the ruins .. the stones still pointed to that inlet around the corner ..though it had just a brief opening to go through . Sure signs of a trap . With the small fur like demons braying ...and the sound of a woman's voice singing. Seemed the silence might have been more welcomed . What would the decision be now . As the desert heat would soon rise up ...and reports of a few others had been coming in of people vanishing in their party with no trace except for this singing of a woman . Which all seemed to think was just a dream they had."

Finally they arrived upon a dead end, a mountain side but along the way they found source of water and animal life still flourished here albeit mysteriously but not everything is good about their journey, despite their tight formation they did lose a few people to whatever monsters still dwelling in the ruins depths.<br/><br/><strong>""The sssinging grew louder, it seems we are getting close to the source...""</strong>, she stated, obviously referring to the entombed structural ruins at the side of the mountains, not willing to lose anymore of her soldiers or atleast not yet she walks up to what appears to be an inlet around the corner, yet before she proceed any further a sign of foolishness, she lifted up her hand to the air and suddenly a thick wooden stick appeared in her scaly hand, the wooden stick is engraved with shamanistic symbols and at the top of the stick is a few small reptilian skulls perhaps belonging to swamp lizards,<strong>""letsss see what isss behind the corner, shall we...""</strong>, with a hiss she suddenly threw the wooden totem into the inlet and it stick into the ground within the darkness, protected by her loyal warriors she began to merge her thought and consciousness to the tome which now serves as her eyes, this will let her see any hidden danger at the entrance."

Its not to be confused with the Intrest thread. I will Post General Rules and stuff Here in this first post for people to refer too.<br/><br/>Rolling Dice and finding out if you got a number:<br/><br/>The number next to a skill represents how many dice you get to roll. So if you have a skill at 3 you would roll 3 dice.<br/>You are looking for one of 3 options. then you add your result to your appropriate attribute.<br/>1: The Highest Single Number. (Ex: If I rolled 5 dice and got 2,4,8,10,6 I would take the 10 and add it to my Attribute number<br/>2: The Highest set of Multiples. (Ex. I roll 5 dace and get 5,5,5, 1,2. I take the three 5's and add them together before adding them to my attribute.)<br/>3: The Highest Straight of Numbers. (Ex. I roll 5 Dice and I get 1,2,8,9,10. I take the 8,9, and 10 and add them together before adding them to my attribute.<br/><br/>Combat: Heres how it works.<br/><br/>Iniative:<br/><br/>1D10 + Your Reflex score. Higher = faster. Highest = First.<br/><br/>Actions:<br/><br/>Everyone has a certain number of actions from 1 to 3. Tager's probably have 2 sets of actions. One set is when they are in human form and the other set is when they are trnasformed. You will probably have more actions when shifted than when you are human. This should be represents as number/number (Ex. 2/3)<br/><br/>When your turn is up you decalre how many actions you are taking this turn if you have multiple actions. (You don't always have to take 2 or 3 actions even if you have the ability to do so)<br/><br/>1 Action = No Penalty<br/>2 Actions = -2 Penalty to both Actions<br/>3 Actions = -4 Penalty to all 3 Actions<br/>Note: Some Abilities negate these penalties.<br/><br/>Action Examples:<br/><br/>Free Actions: Dodge, Say a short sentence, Look around, Take a couple of steps<br/>Normal Actions: Attack, Dive prone, Draw gun, Duck for cover, Move more than a few steps<br/>To Relaod a weapon takes a full turn.<br/><br/>Combat Contests:<br/><br/>Attack Skill          Defense Skill<br/><br/>Fighting              Armed Fighting, Dodge, or Fighting<br/>Armed Fighting     Armed Fighting, or Dodge<br/>All Others            Dodge<br/><br/>If the attack success if Higher than the defender the a success is achieved, If both rolls are equal or the defender's roll is higher than the test fails.<br/><br/>Range Modifiers:<br/><br/>Short     Mid     Long     Extream<br/>+2         0        -2        -6<br/><br/>Other Modifiers:<br/><br/>Guns in Close Combat: -4<br/>Moving 1/2 top speed or more and shooting: -2<br/>Target Suprised: Defender autimatically suffers a critical failure to defense (0)<br/><br/>Static Target To Hit Numbers:<br/>Short: 12, Medium: 16, Long: 22, Extream: 28<br/><br/>Moving Target To Hit Numbers:<br/>51-100mph: -2, 101-200mph: -4, 201-300mph: -6<br/><br/>Damage:<br/><br/>For every 5 points higher than the defender that you get in a Combat Contest, you get +1D10 on the Damage roll.<br/>Weapons obviousely add in their Damage Modifier as Dice.<br/><br/>Strength also adds or subtracts a damage Modifier in Armed or Unarmed fights<br/><br/>Strength<br/>1-3 -1D10<br/>4-7  0D10<br/>8-9 +1D10<br/>10-11 +2D10<br/>12-13 +3D10<br/>14-15 +4D10<br/><br/>Drama Points: These are basically points you can spend to put control into your hands as the players. A Drama point can be used to add a die to your Roll or to Subtact a die from your opponent's roll. You can use more than one dice but be aware that Drama points Only get refilled at the end of a chapter. You will be awarded Drama points fopr certain things.<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: Everything posted here has been reworded and is actually off a GM's screen I made for myswelf but my Information was obtained from the C-Tech main book to make that screen therefore I am indirectly quasi quoting the C-Tech Main book.

The storyteller may take the role of whatever dwells in the ruins now and played out the hazard of colonizing the land and the storyteller may also set up a reward of sorts if the mission at the ruins is a success like for example the colonization succeeded and a new settlement owing their allegiance to my nation was built from the ruins of Flaegra or a magical artifact was found amidst the rubbles and monster's carcasses. Also the storyteller may take control one of the henchmen belonging to the lieutenant involved in this mission. More info to come when someone volunteers for the job."

links can be put up.  I'll make it a priority after I actually have the main IC threads written up.  (assuming everybody hasn't been scared off)<br/><br/>You guys have been great so far, and I'm sorry about anything I'm doing that will derail the game.  :-)<br/><br/><br/>I made a thread for the city of breezeport:   http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=61829 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=61829)<br/><br/><br/>I'd like to expand the description of the city, but I'll need a few things from Wyzard:<br/><br/>-How is the city water supply delivered?  The popular means are wells, aquaducts, and resivoirs tapped from rivers.<br/>-Does the city have a sewer system?  What about bathouses?  (a city with water pipes doesn't neccisarily have a sewer system)<br/>-Is there a central bazaar for commerce to be conducted, or are there a number of independent commercial enterprises?<br/>-Does the police force operate from the keep, or do they have local police stations?<br/>-Does the city grow its own crops?  Are the irrigated?<br/><br/>(all of these questions are personal preference, and will carry advantages and downsides.  Obviously a sewer makes your city a lot cleaner, but creates a huge breeding ground and hiding place for monsters.)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Finally, some information about potion interactions.  All of these interactions assume the use of the standard encyclopedia arcane formulations of the potion.<br/><br/><strong>Potion of Healing:</strong>Potions of healing are dangerously reactive, and explode if too many end up in the same place.  4 or more potions of healing will react explosively when combined and compressed.  This process is sped up massively if the potion is combined with a potion of extra healing.   Potions of healing are not effective when under the influence of a potion of fire resistance, and prevent intoxication by alchohol for several hours.<br/><br/><strong>Potion of Extra Healing:</strong>Unlike potions of healing, potions of extra healing are actually effective in synergy.  Each potion of extra healing consumed after the first within an hour of each other heals half again as many hit points.  There is a downside, however.  Each potion of extra healing consumed inflicts a -2 penalty on saves vs. poison for an hour.  Potions of extra healing are also poisonous if taken with a poison of fire resistance.   Just like potions of healing, they prevent intoxication.<br/><br/><strong>Potion of Fire Resistance:</strong>Potions of fire resistance are highly compatable with each other.  Each potion of fire resistance taken after the first doubles the remaining duration or adds 10 minutes to the duration, whichever is more.  Consuming potions of fire resistance with alcohol halves the duration.<br/><br/><strong>Potion of Strength:</strong>Potions of strength are compatable with each other, increasing the strength gain granted by them by 1 for each additional potion consumed while under the influence of another potion of strength.  Potions of fire resistance boost the duration of all active potions of strength by 10 minutes, though they don't actually provide fire resistance while under the effect of potions of strength.  Consuming 5 or more potions of strength permenantly increases a character's strength score by 1, to a maximum of 18.  Each potion consumed after the fourth grants 1 point of strength.<br/><br/><strong>Potion of Longevity:</strong>Potions of Longevity, if 4 or more are consumed, permanently increase a character's constitution score.  Each potion of longevity consumed after the third grants 1 point of constitution, to a maximum of 18.<br/><br/><br/>While I'm on obscure rules, if a character makes a sincere prayer to their patron god in an exceptional situation, there is a 15% chance the prayer will be answered.  This chance falls 5% for each prayer the character has had answered within the last decade.  Going on a personal mission for a diety can increase the prayer answer chance by 35%, and the chance of a prayer being answered when fighting a monster that the deity's clerics could turn and destroy is increased by 1% per HD of the monster.  Characters with behavior contrary to that of their patron suffer a -5% penalty on prayer chances, and characters with behavior opposed to their deity suffer a -10% penalty on prayer chances.<br/><br/>Prayer can have one of several effects:  The most common is for a character to be granted a cleric spell by their deity, lost after one use, as usual.  The second most common is for servitors of the deity to rescue the character, often favoring clerics in the area.  Other ways prayers are answered include the god granting temporary or permanent use of an artifact to a character, the creation of magic items, the sending of the god's avatar, and extremely rarely, the god itself personally showing up."

So, unless she were willing to spend just about all her time on the surface disguised and covered in body paint, people would have a bit of suspicion about her anyway, 'cause she's drow. Unlike, say, humans and other elves, there just aren't enough drow on the surface for her to really manage a cover identity (as a drow). Remember, I asked you if travelling as an entertainer of some sort would make a decent cover for her, and you said there weren't a lot of drow... That was what we established in our PMs, at least, TGT.<br/><br/>I then decided to play with the idea of an assassin from a culture where assassins are open, perhaps even venerated to a degree. They could, if their society thinks of assassins as weapons wielded by a client, not even be truly held accountable for their killings. Assassins, in that case, could even be celebrities!<br/><br/>Whether or not we took that extreme view, that's why people kind of expect the drow in the black leather armour with the hand crossbow and multiple daggers to be an assassin...it's the stereotype, sorta, so she's playing to it, much the way other drow assassins on the surface do. This actually works as a blind, bait and switch sort of 'ooo, look over here at me the scaaaaarrry drow killer-for-hire!', so that you have created a contrast for when you do want to go in disguised. Does that make sense, or should I try to explain it more clearly (not sure right now how to clear it up further...).<br/><br/>At least, that was what I revised my idea to...did we just get our wires crossed somewhere?<br/><br/>Either way, accepting a 'common adventuring' contract was my intent in finding a way to have Xiann be willing to work 'for a share (or two)'. Just need to hear from WW, or I'll just find another place to get Xiann plugged into the game. ;)"

I'm not trying to be difficult but looking critically at my character and her strengths the one thing she does well is talk and lead. So will be looking to add ten clerics and going on a recruitment drive for the goddess. As she adds followers her income will go up and later she can look to expanding her church to a temple proper.<br/><br/>But she will support the Wizard Lord and use her followers ,many common folk people overlook, to feed him rumors and information to better secure the city. Not spying more if they see or hear anything to feed it to a Deacon then to a Cleric to get to his people. Naturally improving the economy and trade will be important and she might propose a clerical council of the open faiths to work with his Lordship to better secure the city from certain powers. Its likely the one thing every faith agrees on - Cthulue is BAD and not in a good BAD way but just to insane to let gain a foothold for long. And I'm sure such an effort would gain support of the Wizard Lord since the enemy of the enemy is my friend and all."

For Ismaili assasins it was custom to enter religions institutions and obtain a trusted status there before performing their mission in public. Such practice made converting gnostic sects, like Tampliers, impossible: they would publicly profess their Catholicism, only then to create a branch of their sect in the Roman Church, luring people with secret knowledge and occult rituals. Cathars, on the other hand, held certain prejudices which made them easy to identify, but where Tampliers used secrecy and vice, Cathars used publicity and virtue, while both allowed for already existing but unsatisfied religious zeal of peasants, as well as unsatisfied political abmitions of lords.

In the relative absence of GM I thought it adequate to defend that role-play and the character involved within, but now that TGT is, can we say, back, I hope we're going to finilize the subject with this public apology of mine.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Classy.<br/><br/>I really don't know how you got to this point.  Did you actually tell the GM that you wanted your PC to be able to do things not allowed by the game as written?  Or did you just try to slip it past him and<em>then</em>claim the grandfather clause?  It's becoming increasingly obvious that you went the latter route, and I have no respect for that.  I'm not going to read people's backgrounds and try to figure out how whatever freeform narrative they've constructed means that their spells don't work as stated in the text.  It's unreasonable to expect me (or anyone in a system game) to do that.<br/><br/>You haven't proven a thing, because we're using OSRIC, not AD&D.  You can't use AD&D to try and override something completely non-ambiguous like, for example, ""Target: Caster.""  Radical epistemological relativism is the last refuge of people with no sound argument.  How exactly do you get from ""Target: Caster"" to ""this is ambiguous and requires another text for interpretation?"""

As she stepped closer his hand rose, of its own accord, tentatively, as if afraid that the cloth might burn him, as if she were a smoldering coal waiting to burst into flames, but it pressed forward, and his fingers slid against her, along the smooth curve of her hip, dragging the soft cloth of her shift with it as it explored.<br/><br/>Her hands slid along his chest, pale hand stark against the blood red silk, and he shivered slightly as her hand grazed his nipple. His eyes finally rose, met hers, and he smiled softly, a mixture of desire and anticipation dancing across his face. ""Well, these clothes have got to go,"" he said, but his hand seemed reluctant to leave her, instead fleeing down and across her back, eventually stopping on the swell of her ass, a respite both for rest and further exploration and delight. His other hand, unoccupied, reached up slowly, and pulled loose the red cord holding the neck shut, making room for the garment to slip over his head, and join the pile of clothing growing on the floor. His other hand became sick of barriers, and dipped, slipped below the hem of the shirt, and slid up bare thigh back to its former resting place to resume its activities behind her.<br/><br/>He glanced at Laurin and Balfor. They seemed well suited to each other; imposing and powerful, each in a distinctive way, and he smiled faintly as they ground together, using friction to ignite fires that would not be quenched for some time. For once he was glad of his half-elven heritage; although it had its disadvantages, the unique mixture of stamina and grace it afforded would allow him to enjoy the evening properly. He looked back down at Joli again, but spoke loudly enough for the others to hear him. ""I don't believe there is any reason to stay so far away, is there?"" He looked back up at Balfor and Laurin. ""Why don't you spread some blankets on the floor, for all of us? I'm hoping Joli is going to help me catch up to the rest of you."" Reluctantly, he let his hand slip from beneath the shirt, a parting squeeze goodbye promising a swift return, and raised both hands, each with a fistful of shirt, exposing a rather smooth expanse of lean muscular chest, marked only with a light dusting of fine black hair trailing down along breast bone past belly button, eventually disappearing into the tight black leather pants cinched around his waist."

Sweat was beginning to bead on her features as she cocked her head sideways. ""You heard the woman, Balfor. Cristen this voyage with me that we may all reach paradise!""<br/><br/>Stepping out of the bustier and kicking it aside, Laurin turned and shimmied her way down between the two. Her knees settled outside and just beyond his feet. She tugged at the breech cloth, catching the head of his engorging pleasure stick in the rim rubbing it with the cloth and a soft giggle before freeing it to the air. A hot breath marveled at the sight before her. She asked for no permission, no signs, she simply latched her full, wet lips around his bulging head. Hefting a breast in each hand, she trapped his shaft in a thin fissure of creamy flesh as that tongue teased away at his opening."

His cock, already thick with eager longing, rose more as Joli slid away, crouched, drank him in with her eyes, and it saluted back, rising in a graceful upward arc that throbbed slightly in time with Lon's pounding pulse.<br/><br/>He grinned slightly, at her request; he had hoped to ask her to do the same, once her shirt had been removed. His eyes were locked on her face as he flexed his knees slightly, long muscles in his thighs shifting, allowing the breeches to fall away completely, and as he gracefully lifted one foot out of them he turned, presented himself in profile to her -<em>to them</em>, he corrected himself, as Joli's motion had reminded him that he had an audience of three - let the firelight dance up along his thighs and abdomen, bathing him in a warmth that reflected that pouring out of him, but his head was still turned, watching Joli watching him, a small teasing smile dancing at the corners of his lips as he finished stepping out of the pile of soft leather, turning his back to the three of them, head finally looking away from her. A thought occurred to him, and he knelt, unlaced each boot in turn, before standing again, and slowly finished his turn, stepping out of his boots, and giving the assembled clothing on the floor a gentle push under the bed, out of the way.<br/><br/>By the time he was facing the three of them again, he realized that two were not paying attention; indeed, he quickly took in that not only had Laurin lost the bustier that had been concealing her generous assets, said assets were now gently massaging Balfor's impressive organ, as flesh flowed up over his cock, leaving only the head revealed to the tender affections of her obviously talented mouth. Lon's own cock jumped in empathy (or jealousy, he wasn't sure which), and his hands perched on his hips in mock outrage as he walked over to the group of them. ""You've started without me,"" he said, his tone mildly amused rather than any anger or chiding. His eyes returned to Joli as he walked, and they had taken on a more purposeful look, one of focused want and desire. He slipped his arms around her, hands sliding up the dress-like shirt to cup and knead her ass again, and pressed himself forward, kissing her, tongue teasing the junction and corners of her lips. He let his cock bump and slide down her thigh, graze across the soft forest of hairs at the junction of her legs, before sliding up to rest against her belly, throbbing insistently for attention. He could feel Laurin behind Joli, her shoulders pressed against the backs of his hands, hair sliding over and them with the rhythm she had established towards Balfor's pleasure."

He glanced down, prepared again to speak, but again he was interrupted; the feel of her breath was like a warm summer breeze across his skin, and it scattered the leaves of his thoughts away, leaving him quite unable to remember just what had been so important for him to say in the first place.

They we’re to be part of a great experiment to create genetically enhanced human beings.  The purpose of these experiments was two fold.  First to create an advance army that could help maintain the peace on the lower levels.  Second the potential medical advances to come from the experiments.<br/><br/>In phase one  the experiments consisted of basic military training building the young soldiers into a strong unit and naturally develop the bodies and mind of each recruit through physical exercise and extensive education.  (Think Boot Camp only ten times more tougher.)  Those not physically or mentally strong enough to withstand the training died or we’re removed from the program by other mean.  By the time phase two came along nearly 5 years after it had begun Jarod was one of a hundred who had survived the initial phase and had become a leader in amongst his fellow recruits.  Though he wasn’t the strongest, fastest, or even the smartest of the recruits he was tough and an exceptional leader that the other recruits looked to him.  In phase 2 the recruits where injected with a compound designed to enhance the human body to the peak of it potential both mentally and physically.  The compound was not without risk however as the initial reaction was tremendous sickness and muscle spasms as the body adjusted to it knew state. Nearly a quarter of the subjects died leaving about seventy five successes.  Jarod was one of them.  He had always been good at survival.  He was one of the quickest to adjust to serum.  For the next 6 months or so Jarod and his fellow super soldiers for lack of a better term trained to control their new speed, strength, and reflexes.  The third and final phase of the project involved merging man with an advanced suit of armor that further enhances the strength, speed, and reflexes of the user.  To cap it off the only ones capable of wearing efficiently wearing this suit of armor are those who have taken the super soldier serum. Finally after nearly 10 years of training Jarod and the seventy five remaining first generation super soldiers finally took to the street to handle situations that regular police and military forces can’t.<br/><br/>During the cataclysm that destroyed a significant portion of Neonopolis and killed many Jarod was out on a solo assignment on what turned out to be the edge of the blast radius.  In the hours that followed Jarod began searching for and helping survivors and searching for other members of his unit, he has yet to meet any though he still has hope.  About a week after the explosion Jarod met a woman named Emmilyn Connor, the leader of a group doing the same kinds of things he has been doing on his own.  Seeing that they both had similar goals of helping and protecting the weak and injured Jarod pledged his loyalty and his strength to protecting her and the people she leads.<br/><br/><strong>Arms and Armor specs:</strong>Armor spec: The Colossus Armor Mark II is an advanced suit of armor built in conjunction with the super soldier program.  Aside from offering tremendous protection from small arms fire the Colossus Mark II also enhances the speed, strength, reflexes and agility 2 to 3 times beyond the wearers natural ability thanks to an advanced nueral link that connects the suit with the mind of the person inside.<br/><br/>Among special feature the suits helmet which encloses the wearers entire head provide several modes of vision beyond normal the regular spectrum, including night vision, heat vision, and others.  Also attached to the helmet are flashlights attached on the either side of the helmet.  The armor itself possesses a kinetic energy shield that absorbs energy, and projectiles alike (however it should be noted that the shield will not protect the wearer well from explosives like grenades, rockets and other weapons of the kind.  As the shield absorbs damage it weakens and if enough damage is dealt it will collapse completely.  The shield will regenerate after a time if given the chance.  Another special feature of the armor is a short term tactical cloak that can be used in about 5 minute intervals before needing thirty minutes to recharge<br/><br/>With normal use the power of the suit lasts about 48 hours before needing to be placed in recharge mode which takes about a day to fully recharge on its own.    When the suit is put through its paces in combat and features like the cloak and shield are used the power consumption is far greater often lasting half that time.  At the base where he was station they had equipment that allowed for rapid recharge, but he has yet to return the lab where he was raise though it is on his list of things to do.<br/><br/>Weapons:  The Firestorm assault rifle is standard issue assault rifle with the minor difference that it takes regular 60 clip projectile ammo and blaster bolts energy packs each pack providing about a hundred shots though more energy can be used to fire off a powerful shot.<br/><br/>Longshot Sniper rifle.  With incredible range a skilled marksman can accurately hit a target 3,000 meters away.  Uses conventional projectile ammo.  Each clip holds 12 rounds<br/><br/>Pistols: He carries two .44 caliber pistols.  Each clip holds 10 bullets.<br/><br/>Combat knives: At just under 2 feet long from the tip of the blade to the pommel of the hilt the two knives he carries are almost short swords<br/><br/><strong>Player preferences:</strong>Into M/F, Bondage, NC.

From the first day of its design the highway was meant to do two things, the first was to be an efficient mode of transportation that would be the envy of every other city state. The second was to offer the best view of Neonopolis possible, to make it seem to every driver that Neonoplois was truly a utopia and that there were no problems there. This was accomplished very simply.  The neighbor hoods and houses around  the highway were removed, relocated, and torn down. In their place several different tourist traps were built, chief amongst these were the river walks along the river walks along the eastern edge of the western edge of the river, and Neonopolis Stadium. The future home of the upcoming Inter-City State Olympic games.<br/><br/>This made the highway, and the stadium the only two major buildings in the area, surrounded by a string of high end motels, and restaurants, most of which did not manage to survive the explosion.<br/><br/><strong>Base</strong><br/>After gathering his forces Kaneda and The Dancers began searching for any place that they could use as a defensive base. Eventually they made their way to what was left of the stadium (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/ghapama/stadium.jpg). Only to find that it was a wreck, and that there was already a camp of survivors there…Needless to say all the survivors either got the ‘honor’ of becoming members of The Dancers. Or they were asked to leave the stadium.  After a bit of investigating Kaneda and his men were surprised to find a weapons store under the stadium’s center field. Apparently the government had been using the stadium as a warehouse for spare weapons, and vehicles under development.<br/><br/>After looting everything of use Kaneda made a decision, the stadium was undependable and would not do as a defendable base. Luckily for him there were several useful ‘toys’ in the stadium one of which was a mobile command vehicle (http://lh6.ggpht.com/__A54rk4dprU/SeSXiA4BCPI/AAAAAAAAG_k/-nio5GVocZg/IMG_1619.JPG). Originally intended to be used behind the lines to co-ordinate troop movements it had everything The Dancers needed in a base. It was tough, it could communicate, and most importantly it could move…fast.<br/><br/>With their new base, and new toys The Dancers rode onto what was left of the highway, it had been sturdy enough to retian most of it's shape and intergrity, even if there were some sections that had fallen, it was not impossible to navigate.<br/><br/>Constantly on the move, The Dancers rely on their mobility and speed as a constant defense, anyone attempting to attack them must first find them on the highway. And then face the problems of attempting to assault a target moving at high speed. In addition to this The Dancers have set up several obstacles and traps along every rout of the high way, the idea being that any attack on their base will turn into a chase, on their home turf, with all the traps working for them, as their enemy’s are slowly worn down, pecked to pieces attempting to keep up.<br/><br/><strong>Forces</strong><br/><br/>Common forces:<br/><br/>Weapons/Equipment: One of the first stops The Dancers made was to a government warehouse on their turf. Their they armed themselves with whatever weapons and vehicles they could scavenge, some experiment, The Dancers are nowhere near having a ‘uniform’ weapon, that having been said the vast majority of them carry some sort of firearm. Weather be a pistol  (http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/airsoft-TECblasterA.jpg) or an  assult rifle (http://th00.deviantart.net/fs18/300W/f/2007/143/6/7/Assault_rifle_by_jimsvanberg.jpg) .  In addition to this, Several of The Dancers have gotten their hands on anti-armor weapons in the form of ant-armor rifles (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/3/3e/Gauss_Rifle.png/800px-Gauss_Rifle.png) and  rpgs (http://pfcdn.net/site/t/content_image/image/80/808__killzone-2-m80-missile-launcher.jpeg).<br/><br/><br/>Vehicles:<br/>Every Dancer has a vehicle of some sort to ride, the vast majority of these are simply modified civilian models. By far the largest percentage of these are  motorcycles (http://hondafanimages.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/hondav4motorcycle_2.jpg). Ridden by a single Dancer, or two. Each rider carrying their own weapon and using it as they ride their bike.

Once running, machine guns were attached to them.<br/><br/><br/>Uncommon Forces:<br/><br/>The Dancers also uncovered a number of experimental vehicles and weapons when they broke into the government warehouse, granted they could never figure out how to drive or use some of them, but the ones they did figure out have since been ‘liberated’ and are as follows:<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/><br/>Twelve prototype assault rifles (http://i32.tinypic.com/n4jkt5.jpg).

Given to Kaneda’s most trusted men<br/><br/>One prototype  sniper rifle (http://starcraft.incgamers.com/gallery/data/533/ART25.JPG): Using a hightech scope and depleted uranium ant-personal rounds this rifle was meant to strike from far away and kill its target(and anyone behind it) with one clean shot Given to the best shot in the gang.<br/><br/>One experimental  laser weapon (http://personal3.iddeo.es/alexvidal/akira/rifle.jpg): Based on a cutting beam system originally used to cut battleship armor for search and rescue missions, years of effort were put into making the system small enough to be carried by a single person. This is the result of that research, a continuous high intensity beam weapon, whose only drawback is a somewhat limited battery life, and a very large power pack.  Which Kaneda has claimed for himself.<br/><br/><br/>Vehicles<br/><br/>Ten experimental flying platforms (http://www.pwlawrence.com/temp_art/hoverbike_small2_inside2.jpg): Orginally a one man platform armed with an underslung gatling gun developed to be used as scouts in a major battle, The Dancers have welded a second rear facing seat onto each platoform, the rider in this seat is given a single rpg to fire when ever it will be most useful. The platforms were are crewed by anyone in the gang who is crazy enough to ride them.<br/><br/>One  flying truck (http://frm45.free.fr/Images/Diverses/Cinema_SciFi/Serenity_model/Serenity_Mule_texture_icone.jpg): A four man version of the flying platform, originally designed to give commanders a better view of the battle field, one heavy machine gun has been attached along side each passenger seat, the criteria for using it is the same as the smaller flying platforms.<br/><br/><br/>One Riot Tank (http://media.moddb.com/images/groups/1/3/2074/ca21_gatling.jpg): Developed to quell help quell the more violent riots which used to take place in the lower levels, this ‘tank’ is armed with a pair of Gatling guns, it is fast, and possesses very light armor which is capable of protecting it from most small arms and the occasional rpg. It excels against infantry, and lightly armored vehicles, but finds itself very outgunned and under armored when battling against a heavily armed and armored foe, such as another tank with a bigger gun."

The armor never shut off, its power source seemingly inexhuastable. It wasn't, of course, but it was close. Even now, every inch of the formerly shiny machine's armored exterior sucked up sunlight and heat. It really was a masterpiece, as she was, had she ever really considered it. Its large torso was leaned back, as though it was about to swallow her.<br/><br/>She looked down toward the camp on the highway, wondering if she ought to rejoin them. She pressed a hand to her side, wincing momentarily at the still-cracked ribs. Her suit was black, shined, a polymer that served as a garment and as a kind of protection, though, besides a pair of straps the top section only covered her front. The was, evidently, a good reason for that, as, a trio of tubes ran from the suit to her back, small needles running into her. The suit could heal, monitor, and maintain its pilot, an ability she'd had ample opportunity to test since the blast.<br/><br/>She sighed, seeing Kaneda talking to Jasper, and Jasper consequently heading for his own vehicle of choice. She slid back, pushing back, and settling her legs into their extremely well-fitted grooves. The suit closed over her, plunging her briefly into darkness, before her new eyes opened, and the suit funnelled its view of the world to her eyes. It was only partially visual. What sat in front of the suit's ""eyes"" was as plain as day, with a few filter options. Everything else, things that got picked up elsewhere became a kind of wireframe, that she'd become extremely good at decyphering into useful three dimensional information. She ran the suit to the edge of the building, and lept. It sailed well past the highway, crossing it and careening into a building on the opposite side. It slid twenty metres or so before she got it turned around, and jumped again. This time the jump was steeper, and slower, and the powerful legs of her suit hit the highway pavement with a deafening crack.<br/><br/>She let the suit keep walking towards Kaneda, as she opened it up once more. It stopped walking as she stepped deftly out of it, her seeming to barely notice the dismount, though it wasn't surprising, as the suit was close to being a part of her. She certainly had parts of it in her.<br/><br/>""So..."" she said, catching up to Kaneda, ""what is it this time, hmm? Spot some more, attractive, refugees?""<br/><br/>She didn't particularly like their policies, though it wasn't so much the moral implications, it was the women. She was military girl, and in her career, killing had always come with a certain, well, indiscriminatory quality. They needed supplies, she, needed supplies, but she didn't approve of the women. She was dearly hoping that one of the Dancers would get something very important to him cut off, but she really doubted how effective of a lesson that would be, at least to the others, she'd still feel satisfied that one man had gotten what he deserved."

Gathering what supplies and food she could, she began the long and arduous trek, on foot, to reach her family home. She'd always thought that they lived oh-so-near to the hospital and university, but now she realized the harsh truth. It was only nearby if you had the modern convenience of a vehicle. On foot, the trip was brutally long, at least fifteen to twenty miles.<br/><br/>Knowing that to sit down here would be stupid, Yuriko remained standing, looking out over the city and trying to find landmarks to tell her what used to be what as she rested.</td></tr></tbody></table>"

She produced a small device. It was about the size of a poker chip, with a polished steel casing, and the same orange-red glow that lit the suit's eyes. She tossed it towards Kaneda.<br/><br/>""I'll circle around and meet you deeper in,"" she said, ""oh, and, push the centre button if you manage to get yourself into real trouble this time."" There wasn't any centre button, or rather, the centre of the chip was a button. It wasn't anything complex, just something her suit could track at a range. It was meant for co-ordinating with regular troops, or for any of another thousand uses she could think of, after all, her suit could track it for a very, very long distance.<br/><br/>She stepped back and up, once more, the suit embracing her instantly, and sealing with a slight hiss.<br/><br/>The suit turned down the highway, and began to walk. It picked up speed but remained at a sort of jog. She wasn't in any hurry, she could catch up to the flying platforms, after all, and the highway had been, by far one of the more interesting landmarks after the blast. Street level was devastated, cars, bikes, trucks, it didn't really matter. If it was in the path of the blast it had been destroyed. The highway on the other hand, stood up quite well. She winced inside her suit. Her cracked ribs were still painful, and although the rest of her injuries were no longer visible, since the suit had gone about fixing her clothes as well, she knew she was bruised in quite a variety of places. Her back showed almost nothing now, just a few healing scars. However, she well knew, from what her suit could easily tell her, that she had internal bleed, fractured bones, in addition to her cracked ribs.<br/><br/>She felt the slight pinch at her back, as the suit slipped its needles in. She immediately felt better, though that was for reasons that didn't necessarily help her heal or pilot. Still, it was a welcome relief. The suit was basically dialysis machine, so, in all reality, it had quite a bit of her blood inside of it at all times, though, given that it put in as much as it took out, it wasn't any harm to leave the suit for a while, even if its carefully calculated dosages of painkillers and various other medications she didn't have the qualifications to identify, wore off in short order. She didn't really have alternatives, the suit would eventually restore her back to health, and the consistent supply of food from her association with the Dancers was certainly helpful on that front. Still, she couldn't help but wonder if there was a soft bed or a proper doctor left in the city.<br/><br/>"

Jasper looked over at him, his helmet on, and a scarf around his neck, and gave Kaneda  a thumbs up. Kaneda shook his head he had no idea why Jasper insisted on dressing like he was a World War One pilot, but whatever he was still probably the best flying platform pilot in the gang.<br/><br/>Without another word Kaneda climbed up into the platform and strapped in, knowing better than to not wear his harness in this thing. “alright!” he called out, “We’ll start by moving along the highway. We will follow it for a bit then branch off into the city if we haven’t found anything by then.”<br/><br/>Jasper nodded “you got it boss” he called out quickly flipping a few switches and then talking into the platform’s radio, “Alright Eagles” he said  to his squad, who he insisted on calling “The Eagles”….his old gang’s name,  “We’re moving along the highway, I want number 3 to take the lead, I’ll follow right behind, the rest of you cover us to all sides. Keep it tight, and keep it clean, move out” As soon as he finished saying this a platform with a large yellow ‘3’ painted on each side shot up from its place and began to rocket through the air, moving above the highway just high enough to avoid hitting anything. Jasper hit the throttle on his platform and took off. The rest of the platforms following behind.<br/><br/>Kaneda laughed as they flew, yes the platforms were dangerous, yes they could be unstable, and yes it was probably very stupid to ride in them….but hell….they were fun!  As he thought this something caught his eye he squinted a bit to see better, there was a small dot on the highway…it was moving.

The suit lept across the gulfs between ruined hulking buildings, changing floors, and sometimes angles, seemingly at random. The flying platforms clearly had the edge in speed, but that wasn't surprising, given that they avoided the obstacles of travelling below the skyline of the city, or between buildings. Still, she was catching up, and as her suit made the last, longest leap, back to the highway, she made sure that she came down far more softly then she previously had, and the suit seemed to slow mid-air, in its descent, sliding the pavement and into a walk.<br/><br/>The woman on the highway seemed clean, immaculate even, and beautiful. Every step made her image sharper, not that even her first sighting hadn't conferred some sense of what the woman's features were. It didn't really matter to her who she was, or what she was doing on the highway, only what Kaneda was going to do. Sarah had only mentioned offhand that she'd start taking spoils of her own, if only because she'd had the idea in her head that it would be of mild annoyance to the all-too needy males of their gang. She kept her suit moving, closing the distance to the woman. She knew that it was probably pointless to demand they leave her alone. If the woman had supplies, a gun, anything, they'd probably take it. Still, she was going to draw the line somewhere. Again, it didn't feel like a moral issue, it was a point of pride, after all, she could kill two birds with one stone, if she had to. She was owed at least as much as the other men, and certainly more as well, and she hadn't yet cashed in, or even demanded her standard from the gang. This seemed like a relatively harmless fight to pick in the long run, as long as she got her way, and she would."

class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: impact;"">[CLASSIFIED]</span></span><br/><br/><strong>Their Group’s Name: </strong>The Brothers Black<br/><br/><strong>Group’s Description:</strong><br/><br/>The Brothers Black consists of four highly trained specialists of unknown origin with enough armaments at their disposal to supply a small army.  It is probable that they hail from some sort of classified government facility within or beneath Neonopolis, though they do not seem eager to clarify these rumors.  Whether they were actually part of some military organization or the product of some experiment is equally unknown, but given their almost superhuman capabilities and extensive synthetic modification, it would seem that the latter is exceedingly likely.  They are extremely reclusive individuals, but will generally communicate with those who make a non-hostile request of them.  Very few survivors have actually seen any of the four in person, as they prefer to send out small probes with video feeds instead of venturing beyond their territory.<br/><br/>Within the first day of the incident, District 4 (Now known as the ""Warzone"") had been claimed by The Brothers Black.  Acting as government officials they herded all survivors out of the area and across the bridge to the Mainland, sending along a generous amount of supplies (food, water, tents, medicine, etcetera).  This alone was more than enough incentive for everyone to clear out, and over the past few days the former residents of the Island have built up a sizable refugee camp on the Mainland portion of District 4.<br/><br/>Over the next four days The Brothers Black have systematically sealed off the Island using government protocols.  If the rumors of an underground facility were true, it would make sense for the government to have prepare adequate defenses in the event of an attack.  Heavily fortified walls, much like the ones scattered throughout the other Districts, were raised in order to defend against a possible aquatic assault, turning the bridge the sole entrance into that part of the city; a convenient choking point.  The bridge was the first to be weaponized, with gun installations, mines, and drones scattered amongst the hundreds of abandoned vehicles.<br/><br/>Much of the Island has been demolished following the disaster, with most buildings shattered or completely toppled over.  This wreckage has made navigating the terrain a difficult affair, effectively transforming District 4 into a labyrinth of high concrete walls and crumbling skyscrapers.  With each day the Brothers Black increase their defenses, setting up layers upon layers of perimeters, traps, weapons platforms, and minefields.  They seem completely dedicated to entrenching themselves completely within District 4, and have shown absolutely no hostile intent towards the other groups of survivors.  Nor have they expressed any wishes to expand beyond the Island that they have captured.  Every day they send out several Cargo Drones with more supplies for the refugees at the opposite end of the bridge.  This generosity has led many unaffiliated (uncaptured) survivors to set up shop within this camp, as it seems to be the only place in the entire city where food and medication are in guaranteed supply.  Some of the refugees have since gotten their hands on weapons, but not nearly enough to keep them from being a rather juicy target.  It is unclear whether or not The Brothers Black would continue to send out food and medicine if another group were to take the Refugee Camp by force.<br/><br/><strong>Weapons:</strong><em>The Brothers Black have access to an alarmingly wide range of potent experimental weaponry, no doubt pilfered from whatever government facility that they were stationed at before the Disaster.  What they lack in numbers they make up for with sheer technological superiority and a system of remote-controlled and automated defenses that allow them to defend and keep control of their territory.  Most technology is set to auto-terminate when disabled; likely a fail-safe installed by the government to keep such tech from falling into enemy hands.</em><br/><br/><strong><em>Automated Defenses:</em></strong><br/><br/>Stationary Gun Installations

would be immediately outlawed if they were ever subjected to scrutiny of the World's governments.  Either possessing more punch than their legal counterparts or possessing alternate firing modes that are meant to obliterate targets in an excruciatingly inhumane manner, it is quite clear that whatever facility they hail from was not interested in abiding by government restrictions.<br/><br/><strong>Dust</strong>uses an assortment of close range weaponry, from massive retracting vibroblades to Ballistic Knives, and a prototype ""Pulse Trident"" capable of vaporizing objects upon contact.<br/><strong>Closer</strong>uses various light arms, such as submachine guns, swords at close range, and tripwire mines or sticky grenades.  Additionally, Closer wields a ""Flechette Cannon"", a weapon designed to tear targets to shreds beneath a cloud of nearly microscopic blades.<br/><strong>REM </strong>utilizes a massive rail gun (the sort normally found on a full-sized tank) for both human and vehicle targets, but should a target get close enough he will switch to an assault rifle or explosive crossbow.<br/><strong>Host</strong>gets the big guns, from mortar cannons to gatling guns, and is the best when it comes to using the various tanks.<br/><br/><strong>Numbers:</strong>Four.  No more, no

district that was once known as Adonis Heights has now become simply ""The Island"", its beautiful forest of skyscrapers reduced to a labyrinth of fallen giants, broken glass, and deep caverns.  Only a few short days have passed since the Cataclysm and already it has the reek of ancient times, its technology ruined and civilization stripped away.  The shores of The Island have been completely barricaded following the devastation; due to some unknown military protocol, a massive metal wall has since risen around the perimeter of the district and totally cut it off from the outside world.  Only a few particularly resilient skyscrapers are tall enough to peek out over the top of this new fortress, but for most The Island has become a nation unto itself, isolated and impenetrable.  This is due in no small part to the efforts of The Host, who have turned the only way into the District, a bridge connecting it with the mainland, into a death trap filled with automated turrets and minefields hidden amongst the sea of abandoned cars.  No one has yet to actually make it past these intimidating defenses, let alone make contact with the enigmatic figures currently dominating this section of the city.<br/><br/>On the mainland side of the bridge, things are far more optimistic.  Survivors from all over the city have gathered here in droves and erected a hastily constructed shanty town within the parks and shopping boulevards, banding together to fend off the gangs that have already laid claim to other areas of the city and shunning the lawlessness of the No Man's Land between their territories.  For unknown reasons The Host have been sending out food, water, and medical supplies to the survivors struggling to survive on the outskirts of their territory, enough to make living surprisingly comfortable so soon after the Cataclysm.  Unfortunately, this also makes them rather juicy targets for other desperate survivors, and earns the jealousy of gangs who have not been lucky enough to have such vital supplies simply gifted into their laps.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">&lt;This section is still in development, but those of you who wish to have your characters settle into the Refugee Camp (or plot to try and take it over or steal from it) may do so.  I'll have a more concrete post up later in the week&gt;</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Current Layout of The Island:</strong><br/><br/><em>Hell's Gate:</em><br/><br/>The impromptu nickname for the bridge leading into former Adonis Heights, this massive highway has quickly earned its title.  It remained surprisingly intact following the Cataclysm, though parts of it have been reduced from four lanes to a mere two due to structural collapse.  Countless vehicles have been abandoned on the roads, many of them with keys still in the ignition.  Following the evacuation of The Island by the Brother's Black, automated defense systems were immediately distributed across its surface to create a deadly bottleneck in record time.  Many of the cars have been turned into motion-sensitive bombs, or are otherwise outfitted with tripwire explosives.  Large stretches of the bridge have been completely riddled with Bouncing Betties, mines that fire up out of the concrete and detonate with high yields of deadly shrapnel at about chest height.  Other areas are patrolled by roving turrets that effortlessly navigate past the elaborate traps in order to engage any hostiles attempting to cross over into Adonis Heights.  At night the spotlights of various airborne drones can be seen from afar, typically patrolling the bridge in swarms of three or four.  It is quite clear that anyone truly desperate enough to try and enter District Black will require more than just numbers to overcome such obstacles.<br/><br/><em>The Silent Maw:</em><br/><br/>Currently unexplored territory.  The Silent Maw is the area just beyond the bridge and the Wall sealing off Adonis Heights from the rest of the city.  It once served as a transit hub for those entering the city, and is made up of a massive courtyard bordered by various subway stations leading off into different parts of the city.  The streets have all been sealed off by rubble, the skeletons of once proud skyscrapers transformed into medieval walls that turn the entire area into one big cul-de-sac.  The only cover here comes from the empty cars strewn about and the occasional stall idling on the sidewalks.  True to its name, it is a place shrouded in a deathly stillness.  Debris and dust scatters on the wind, and broken windows yawn from the looming corpses of old buildings like rows of open graves.  One could hear a pin drop in such unnatural silence.  There are no bodies to be found.  Only statues.<br/><br/>But that does not mean it is a safe either.  Those that tarry for too long in this empty place will find themselves with a few more holes in them for their trouble.  REM currently holds sway over this domain, effortlessly waiting to pick off those that dare intrude upon the silence.  He employs several other long-range turrets hidden away in the countless windows overlooking the courtyard, making it difficult to discern his position at any given moment.  Thus, one must make a decision when entering this dangerous grounds: resist, retreat, or push onwards into the subway system and away from REM's lethal gaze.<br/><br/><em>The Labyrinth:</em><br/><br/>Currently unexplored territory.  Though it is hypothetically possible to try and avoid REM's fire and escape into the buildings themselves, thus bypassing the subway entirely, such a tactic would surely result in untold casualties.  Truth be told, there is no easy option to move further into Black territory.  The Labyrinth is what the subway system of Adonis Heights has become following the Cataclysm, with old tunnels having collapsed into ruin and new tunnels gaping open and leading into uncharted depths.  With little room to maneuver and the chance that more rubble may crash down from overhead at any given moment, one must be both swift and careful when attempting to travel underground.  It is here that one finds the first signs of death, with many subway cars still filled with corpses.  Odder still are those cars who have been completely stained with blood but lack any bodies at all.<br/><br/>The Labyrinth is home to many dangers, but the worst of them lurk in places where the lights have faded utterly.  Strange monstrosities prowl the darkest depths of the tunnels, child-like things with many eyes and deadly grips.  The danger of encountering them rises only once one has gotten sufficiently deep into District Black, whereas the outer tunnels are guarded mostly by mobile turrets and the occasional Anti-Personnel Drone.  It is not wise to linger long within these blighted depths, lest one be consumed by them.<br/><br/>In addition to these defenses, the Tunnels are occasionally patrolled by Dust himself.  The close quarters aid him immensely, and it would not be cowardly to retreat should one be unlucky enough to encounter him in the underground.<br/><br/><em>The Catacombs:</em><br/><br/>Currently unexplored territory.  The Catacombs include the area just beyond The Silent Maw, and are usually only accessible via the Labyrinth under normal conditions.  This area was once the most densely populated area of Adonis Heights, but is now nothing more than a giant mass of collapsed buildings.  It is hard to tell where one ruined structure begins and another ends, and the roads are completely covered in rubble.  One must navigate through the hallways of the buildings themselves in order to get closer to the center of the city.  The defenses here are still in their preliminary stages, but the outer walls of most buildings are littered with hordes of stationary turrets that force intruders to hide within the cover of the fallen skyscrapers.  As for the interiors, one must expect to find yet more explosive traps and stationary turrets.  As most buildings are in such disarray that the paths are tilted or otherwise inaccessible to drones, there are surprisingly few dangers inside the buildings themselves.<br/><br/>However, the uncertain layout of The Catacombs makes traveling through them both exhausting and time consuming.  Therein lies the true danger of this area.  Upon nightfall, this section of the city becomes a true den of horrors.  Swarmers surge up from the depths of the Labyrinth and attack whatever happens to be unlucky enough to get in their way, attempting to overwhelm intruders through massive numbers.  Their small size and ability to climb over sheer surfaces gives them an unparalleled advantage here, making combat both frantic and potentially hopeless without proper firepower and strategy.  It's times like these that would make any survivor wish for something as mundane as a zombie outbreak.<br/><br/>Like the two areas before it, this sector is also governed by one of the Brothers.  Closer makes this area his home, putting his mid-range combat skills to good use and devastating invaders with various explosive weapons that turn the terrain itself against them.<br/>"

That having been said it’s high time that I posted up how some of the particulars should/will be working for this role play. So without further a due here we go:<br/><br/>Ok first off I’d like to express the fact that(except for a  single exception) this game will be 100% freeform. Given that it involves player’s characters actively fighting one another that could be a bit tricky. But I’m pretty certain I’ve figured out how to get it to work nicely. So we will go over how the different interactions will work first.<br/><br/><br/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;""><em><strong>Character Interactions</strong></em></span></div><br/><br/><strong>Peaceful interactions:</strong>Obviously will be freeform<br/><br/><strong>Fight scenes:</strong>whether they be between two people or the entire group all the action taking place will also be freeform.  In other words there will be no rolling to see if a missile hits/misses ect. The results of a fight/battle will be either freeform or systemic: this depends wholly on the players involved and their ability (or lack thereof) to agree with one another on a result for the fight/battle. For instance, say five low level members of my group are ambushed by the entire green group’s forces. Both I and greens leader could agree OOC that the floor would get mopped with my guy’s faces. Therefore there wouldn’t need to be a roll of any sort and the battle(aka turkey shoot) would be 100 percent freeform. Now say for instance my forces respond to the green ambush, with a sizable group, roughly equal in power (or at least not a HUGE gap) to the green forces that they are attacking. It could be up for debate which side would win. If the green leader and myself were able to come to an agreement on the victor then the battle would still be free-form. If not the battle would be handed over for a systemic decision. Which will be explained a bit later (I promise it’s not crazy, and won’t take a year to figure out the results).<br/><br/><strong>Death:</strong>Ok, this is a war game, there are guns, shooting, and people are going to die: That's just the way it goes.  That having been said I personally don't want my character to be killed, and I'm pretty sure no one else wants their's killed. So I submit to you the character classes<br/><br/>Leaders/Followers: The main characters, the ones with pictures, the ones we care about, the ones who don't die without our permission. (hard fast rule don't kill anyones main character without the OK from them)<br/><br/>Extras: The other guys, the gang members, the goons, the faceless mob, the robots, ect....They can die. It's that simple someone has to die in this rp so let's make it the ones who we arn't attached to.<br/><br/>That having been said I'd like for each player to please post a list of the characters that they plan on playing who fall into the leaders/followers class. (AKA the DON'T kill me characters). You don't NEED to post up a list but I won't be able to protect your characters if I'm not sure which ones to protect. Once the lists are posted up all players can assume that any characters not on another player's list fall into the 'extras' class and can die like lemmings. That dosn't mean that Leaders/Followers are invincable, they can still be wounded, knocked out, ect, they just can't die. I.E. if a sniper were to hit my leader character. He would get hit in the shoulder/leg/what ever and be carried off the battle field.<br/><br/><br/>That’s how conflicts/interactions will work in this role play if there are any questions please ask.<br/><br/><br/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;""><em><strong>Posting</strong></em></span></div><br/><br/>Ok, next up I’ll be explaining how posting will work (very very simple yay!) Once the last group is finished I’ll post up 2 additional threads for the game. 1 will be “Shadow of Neonopolis: Greater Neonopolis” which will be the ‘no man’s land’ area, the other will be “Shadow of Neonopolis: Highway District” which will be my groups territory. The other leaders will be asked/expected to either post up their own territories or ask me to.  I’ve already talked this over with each one of them and there shouldn’t be a problem (this is more for the benefit of the followers). That having been said the way posting will work will depend on the group you’re a part of I.E. if you’re part of my group your first post would/should be in my groups territory, the same for any other group, if you’re un-captured/unaffiliated at the beginning you’ll post you’re first one in the “Greater Neonoplois” thread. Scavenging, hunting for new captives, and anything else that just wouldn’t make sense to take place at one group’s base would take place in the “Greater” thread. Anything taking place at your base would obviously be posted in your territory thread. Attacks on another group will be the trickiest part, but not really complicated.  The gathering for the attack/ “we’re gonna kick their butts” speeches would take place in your own territory, then the actual attack and stuff would take place in the territory of the person being attacked. I.E. my leader would round up his men/then leave the territory in the highway district, and the next post would be wherever they were attacking. This leaves open the possibility for a ‘surprise’ attack.  Once again….If there are ANY questions please feel free to ask.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;""><em><strong>The System</strong></em></span></div><br/>Ok Now for the system….I’m very much a freeform person so I’ve tried to make this as simple/streamlined as possible. I’ll be the one actually performing all the roles (so as to be a good host and not burden the players). This explanation of the system is so that everyone knows how it works/sees it is fair/can make a suggestion if they think they have a better way.<br/><br/>Ok so for every attack there will be 2 dice rolled. One for the defender, and one for the attacker, the one with the higher score after the rolls are put through the system is the winner. No re-do’s or anything like that. If you can’t agree and wind up needing to have the system used then the system is final.  There will be two value sets that will be used 1 will be used for just attacking an enemy’s territory, the other will be used if you’re going in for the kill/hitting the main base. In a nutshell the attacker will have a bit of an advantage if they are just attacking the territory(to help symbolize the surprise of the attack/catching the guards off their guard/just the fact that in real war the attacker does have an advantage), where as the defender will have an advantage if the enemy is going in for the kill(to symbolize the fact you’re your base/fortress would be much better guarded than just the territory) The actual values are as follows.<br/><br/><br/><strong>When fighting for  the territory if your side:</strong><br/><br/><strong>At least 50% of your main leader/follower characters are present</strong>= plus 1 to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Is Attacking</strong>= 1 plus to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Has higher numbers </strong>= 1 plus to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Has a tech advantage</strong>= 1 plus to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Is defending against more than 1 side at once</strong>= -1 to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Is attacking at night</strong>= 1 plus to your role<br/><br/><strong>Is launching a counter attack (meaning you just finished stopping an enemy attack and are now hitting their base as they retreat)</strong>= -1 to your roll (to symbolize that it’s an unorganized/heat of the moment attack rather than a planned out affair.<br/><br/><strong>If your final score is 7</strong>= plus 2 to your roll (symbolizing that yeah..this is war sometimes plans fall to shit, someone on the other side does something stupid,  or you just get lucky)<br/><br/><br/>When fighting for a base if your side:<br/><br/><strong>At least 50% of your main leader/follower characters are present</strong>= plus 1 to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Is defending</strong>=plus one to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Has higher numbers</strong>= 1 plus to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Has a tech advantage </strong>= 1 plus to your roll<br/><br/><strong>Is defending the base after losing the territory</strong>=1 plus to your roll (symbolizing the ‘we either stand here or die’ mentality of having nowhere to run and therefore fighting twice as hard)<br/><br/><strong>If your final score is 7 </strong>= plus 2 to your roll (symbolizing that yeah..this is war sometimes plans fall to shit, someone on the other side does something stupid,  or you just get lucky)<br/><br/><br/>Ok…..that’s the system the dice used will be regular 6 sided dice off the E dice-bot server thing. The results will be send to this thread for all to see so there can be no claims of cheating.  Personally I think that the system is rather elegant/streamlined without being too simple when compared to other systems. If anyone has any suggestions for it I’ll listen to them here, I may not use them but I WILL listen and consider every one.  I’d like to once again state that I’m hoping system decided battles will be the exception and NOT the rule. It should also be noted that if your attack is defeated it's defeated you need to retreat ,head back to base, and lick your wounds. This means that if you take the territory, then launch an attack on the base and lose the base attack you have to retreat back to YOUR base, leaving the territory open for the original owner to take it back. This is for balancing purposes as well as to keep the battle field fluid/from becoming stagnant. .Also if you take a territory, then lose it to anyone you have to send your forces back home.<br/><br/>That having been said all that’s left is the OOC rules which are as follows.<br/><br/>1: don’t be rude/mean/anything else that isn’t a synonym for ‘nice’ during OOC conversations. I’ve never really had a problem with this on E, which is one of the reasons I like E so much. But if you do break this rule I will seriously consider removing you from the game.<br/><br/>2: Be realistic...(considers the fact that we are playing a game set in the future with robot suits, bio-experimentation, laser guns, ect)…..err… perhaps realistic isn't the word to use lol. What I’m trying to say is don’t try to be unbelievably strong. If you got your can handed to you in the battle you just fought, and that battle was between most of your forces and the enemy, PLEASE don’t do any of this ‘they suddenly find an old factory and build more units in the blink of an eye’ , ‘more tanks fall from the sky’, ‘aliens give them special powers’, ect…ect. I’ve you’ve been beaten up lick your wounds build back up and then kick some ass.<br/><br/>3: Respect others on’s/off’s ; goes without saying/explaining…but I said it anyways :P<br/><br/>4: accept the situation/probably outcome… Please don’t make me use the system, for 5 guys armed with rocks and sticks attacking the entire enemy force. If its obvious your side is gonna lose a fight work it out with the other player without dragging the system in.<br/><br/>5: probably the most important…and the one that sums up all the ones before it. Have fun, and let the other players have fun.<br/>"

I’m looking forward to roleplaying with you all in what promises to be a fun game. I’m emailing this to everyone who’s been accepted. Please have a read so we can get things going smoothly. I’ve tried to cram a lot of info in here, so sorry for the length!<br/><br/><strong>The Players &amp; their Characters:</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Thorn” North</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), demon hunter in training. Shy, young, somewhat naïve and innocent (still a virgin) but shows promise as a hunter.<br/><br/><strong>Sarah Marksman AKA “Eve”</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), demon hunter. A proud, stubborn kick-ass gunslinger and ex-soldier. Seeks to protect humanity from the demon menace.<br/><br/><strong>Sho Adams</strong>– Male, human (Awakened), spiritualist and sorcerer. Able to sense demons and spirits and even summon lesser demons with mixed success. Seeks to use his talents to protect the innocent from harm.<br/><br/><strong>Graven</strong>– Male, Demon, demon-hunter gone AWOL on earth. A powerful predatory demon that has rebelled against the edicts of his kind. Enjoys existing on earth as a powerful immortal and opposes the invasion.<br/><br/><strong>Vandren Wells</strong>– Male, half-demon, college student. Extremely lazy “good for nothing” with dark dreams of power. His demon blood has not emerged yet and to all intents and purposes he appears as an average young human male.<br/><br/><strong>Cruor Everto</strong>– Male, Blood Demon. Left the nether world of his own will and was labelled and outcast and traitor to his own kind. Has not decided where he will side in the war to come.<br/><br/><strong>Alison Lane</strong>– Female human (non-Awakened), antique shop owner and dreamer. Unknown to her, some of her rare items are in fact magical relics and artifacts.<br/><br/><strong>Catherine Rearden</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), lab geek and innocent daydreamer. Her research work is soon to lead her to some shocking discoveries and the truth - the presence of the supernatural in the world.<br/><br/><strong>Leah Lucas</strong>– Female, human (Awakened but un-tapped), schoolgirl, orphan, shy but quite bright. Unknown to her, Leah possesses significant psychic powers. These begin to manifest as the End of Times draws near.<br/><br/><strong>Xilos: Marianne Hall</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), schoolgirl and unlikely survivor. A fairly ‘typical nerd’ from a middle class family. Has demonstrated few talents and is “average” in seemingly every way.<br/><br/><strong>The Plan:</strong><br/>As you can see, we have a lot of players, ten in total – this is almost double what I’d expected! Due to the huge response I’ve tried to open things up a little. This has meant I’ve had to restructure my plans for the game a bit. The campaign will have three stages:<br/><br/>1, Solo session for each player character with me. (Two down already 8 to go).<br/>2, Players post one or more short stories telling the story leading up to invasion/roleplay by post.<br/>3, Formal game sessions. For which the players will be divided into 2 or 3 separate groups depending on situation/dynamics. This will be further down the track at this stage.<br/><br/><strong>Primers:</strong><br/>I have written three ‘primers’ containing info on the campaign:<br/>- Infernal Lore 101 (of which there are two versions, one for demons the other for hunters)<br/>- The Most Dangerous Game: Info on demon hunters and their profession<br/>- Babylon: A Handbook Guide to the End of the World<br/><br/>Your character determines which of these you will receive. For example, everyone gets “Babylon: A Handbook Guide to the End of the World”, but only demon players get the ‘demon version’ of  “Infernal Lore 101”. If you think you’ve missed out on info that you should have, please let me know and I’ll re-send.<br/><br/><strong>Character stats:</strong><br/>I’ve worked up detailed character sheets for a few characters so far and I’m still working on more. If you have a copy of BESM 3e, know the rules and would like to create your character’s stats yourself, go for it but please follow these guidelines below.<br/>If not, don’t panic, I’ll get to your character in time and will PM you a copy of your P.Cs stats to check over and change as you see fit. Also, please note that this is not a “system heavy” type of game. Stats are more to help us define what your character can/can’t realistically do. When we start formal sessions they’ll become more important.<br/><br/><strong>Points/Type: </strong>Note – this is not a intended to be a “high powered” game<br/>“Mundane” or “regular” human: 145 points<br/>Experienced human: 175 points<br/>Heroic, “hardcore” or newly Awakened human: 200 points<br/>Half or Lesser demon: 200-250 points<br/>True demon: 300-350 points<br/><strong><br/>Stats:</strong>Min 2 Max 9 (for humans/Awakened)<br/><br/><strong>Sources of power: </strong>Supernatural, social, skilled, technological.<br/><br/><strong>Attributes: </strong>These MUST make sense for the character and fit the theme and feel of the setting.<br/><br/>Humans: The max levels on page 16 of the rulebook are being used.

(What part of the city of Babylon?)  Marianne was born to the lower income section of Babylon.  As all of her sisters have since moved out either to college or due to purchasing their own places, the previously crammed house is now much more airy and open, only possessing her and her parents.<br/><br/><strong>2,</strong>What is your character’s main motivation?  Marianne isn't good at a great many things, and she knows it.  Her parents have constantly apologized for being unable to fund her College as they did with her sisters.  To this end, she wants desperately to understand exactly what her place in life is.  She often talks about walking her own path, but being young it is still cloudy exactly what that is.<br/><br/><strong>3,</strong>What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?  Marianne doesn't know it, but she has a highly receptive memory.  Although it is not quiet eidetic, but she is extremely competent at remembering information.  The reason for her barely passing grades hinges on her overall laziness toward school in general, which is one of her largest weaknesses.  Marianne would much rather learn about topics she has an interest in, such as science and history.  Even though she takes science and history in school, the topics discussed in class are often not what she has an active interest in, and thus her attempts to learn the information are minimal.<br/><br/><strong>4,</strong>What is your character’s greatest hope? Greatest fear?  Her greatest hope is to make herself and her parents proud.  Her greatest fear is becoming a total letdown, and never truly finding anything in life that makes her happy.<br/><br/><strong>5,</strong>What are your character’s favourite and least favourite things/possessions?  Her favorite<strong>and</strong>least favorite thing is her bicycle.  When it's in working order, it highly cuts down on her travel time.  When it doesn't work, she curses it's existence as a piece of useless scrap metal.<br/><br/><strong>6, </strong>What about your character’s emotions? Is there anything that ‘pushes his/her buttons?’  Marianne is very much a typical high school girl.  She likes boys and shopping, although she often doesn't have enough money to do the latter.  Though a bit flighty and absent minded, she has an uncanny knack for reciting pointless facts, causing most of her friends to somewhat playfully mention how she should try out for Jeopardy.  Fairly kind and caring, she has a soft spot for plants and animals.  Marianne recognizes both her situation and her frailties, and although she stands out in no real fashion, she still has a great deal of pride in herself.  Thus, those that insult her directly cause her the most distress.<br/><br/><strong>7,</strong>Is your character aware of the demonic in the world? If so, why?  Not at all.  Ignorance is bliss.<br/><br/><strong>8,</strong>If you could, what advice would you give your character?  Take care of yourself first, then worry about others.<br/><br/><strong>9,</strong>What is your character’s sexual orientation and sexual proclivities?  Bi curious.  She has never done anything with a female, but has fantasized about it.<br/><strong><br/>10,</strong>If your character had one wish, what would he/she wish for? (Pre demon invasion)  Spontaneously become amazing at something,<em>anything</em>, so that she could follow in her sisters footsteps and be highly recognized for her abilities."

Where was your character born? (What part of the city of Babylon?)<br/>Cat was born in Northshore; she has lived a comfortable life; as a result, she is sheltered, and not in the least bit street smart.<br/><br/>2. What is your character’s main motivation?<br/>In the run-up to the cataclysm, Cat has been daydreaming of the man of her dreams and imagining her life with 3.5 kids and suburban bliss; in reality, she is far too shy for her own good, and despite being in a few somewhat serious relationships, she remains inexperienced.  Her boyfriends generally regard her as a complete tease, and have treated her cruelly.<br/><br/>3. What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?<br/>She’s very smart and she knows it; she has an excellent grasp of physics and technology and can do amazing things with what other people might regard as junk – she’s not very good when it comes to dealing with people though, and often trusts those she shouldn’t.  Despite being very bright, she is borderline gullible at times.<br/><br/>4. What is your character’s greatest hope? Greatest fear?<br/>Cat would very much like to fall in love and make some babies.  Cat’s greatest fears revolve around seeing her loved ones hurt (psychologically or physically) and she would do virtually anything to prevent that from coming to pass.  Most of her energy to this point in her life has been studying types of renewable energy; she’s a good girl, and firmly believes she can help save the world (from its mundane, pre-cataclysm worries).<br/><br/>5. What are your character’s favourite and least favourite things/possessions?<br/>A locket her mother and father gave her when she was very young; it’s a silly little trinket, but if anything were ever to happen to her parents, she would cherish it as her only reminder of them.  She is not particularly attached to most of her other possessions; she has a sparsely decorated apartment, eats ramen noodles for dinner most nights and spends as much time as possible working at the lab.<br/><br/>6. What about your character’s emotions? Is there anything that ‘pushes his/her buttons?’<br/>She very much resents people who call her on being naive; she also is very defensive about being perceived as a coward.  She sometimes goes too far when it comes to comforting people who are in pain, and in another life she maybe would have wound up as a nurse; she has a soft spot for men who are lonely or heartbroken, and she wants desperately to take care of people who are alone or vulnerable.<br/><br/>7. Is your character aware of the demonic in the world? If so, why?<br/>She is not.  She works extensively with sensitive research for a variety of corporate and government agencies, however, so there is a chance that she might come into contact with evidence of the demonic world and the impending invasion.<br/><br/>8. If you could, what advice would you give your character?<br/>Don’t go out there; it won’t end well.  (She would ignore me).<br/><br/>9. What is your character’s sexual orientation and sexual proclivities?<br/>-She is very inexperienced, but she likes men.  There have been several moments in her life that functioned as a kind of ‘sexual awakening’; being caught out in the rain in a white t-shirt at summer camp, and exposed to all the boys there; catching her father masturbating, and watching him; waking up in the middle of the night during college and watching her female have sex with a guy Cat had a long-term crush on; locking herself out of her apartment in her night-shirt and panties, her night-shirt caught in the door; being molested on crowded subways by strangers, unable to move or prevent them from touching her inappropriately.  Whatever indignations she has suffered, she has suffered quietly.<br/><br/>10. If your character had one wish, what would he/she wish for? (Pre demon invasion)<br/>A long and happy life; to leave the world better than she found it.<br/>"

(What part of the city of Babylon?)<br/>Graven was born in the Netherworld, in a great fortress-compound carved from living granite and black basalt<br/><br/>2, What is your character’s main motivation?<br/>Stay out of the reach of the forces of Hell.  At least, anything he can't kill.<br/><br/>3, What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?<br/>Graven's greatest strength is his raw physicality.  His power is completely disproportional to an Earth environment, and he was trained to kill other demons and make sure their souls landed back in Hell.  He would think nothing of running all night, ripping apart a car, and then killing a group of lesser supernatural creatures afterward.<br/>His greatest weakness is that he denigrates intellectual pursuits.  He's clever and cunning, but has little interest in the bigger picture or formal education.  He simply doesn't know as much about what's going on as he should, because he neglected those parts of his training.<br/><br/>4, What is your character’s greatest hope? Greatest fear?<br/>Graven isn't a big hoper.  He doesn't think much beyond what he can personally do, and doesn't see the point of daydreaming.  He'd like to either escape to yet another parallel world, or somehow cut the other Demons out of this one.  Neither seems likely.<br/>His greatest fear is being recaptured and punished for what he's done.  He's killed a number of hell's scions over the year who were trying to bring him in, and the consequences for his escape and resistance would be very severe.<br/><br/>5, What are your character’s favourite and least favourite things/possessions?<br/>He doesn't think a lot about this stuff, since he usually just takes what he wants.  He likes his motorcycle, and he used to own a powerful broadsword of infernal craftsmanship that he took with him on missions to Earth.  It's quite a weapon, but he wasn't carrying it when the summoning happened and he misses it sometimes.  His least favorite is when he's required to dress up for reasons of blending in, or any time he has to think too much about equipment and logistics.  He likes large stacks of money (which can open up possibilities for entertainment) but rarely likes screwing around with ""nickel and dime bullshit"" because it bores him.<br/><br/>6, What about your character’s emotions? Is there anything that ‘pushes his/her buttons?’<br/>Graven has many buttons, and they are all huge and red.  His most comfortable emotions are are a kind of greed or lust, and anger.  He wants things that give him carnal pleasure, and that includes fighting.  He especially hates useless, annoying chatter about interpersonal problems.  If he were ever for some reason in the audience of a Jerry Springer show, he would probably knock Steve unconscious (Steve is a cool guy, after all) and proceed to beat the interviewees and much of the audience to death with a chair.  Perhaps connected to this, he hates being disrespected by presumptuous beings he considers his inferiors.  He's likely to teach them a lesson on the spot.<br/><br/>7, Is your character aware of the demonic in the world? If so, why?<br/>Yes.  He IS the demonic in the world.<br/><br/>8, If you could, what advice would you give your character?<br/>Read a fucking book once in a while.  Also, maybe if you told the human military some of the stuff you know (you know, knowledge?  All that junk in your brain that you have from ACTUALLY GROWING UP IN HELL and being in close contact with the infernal military for your entire career?) they'd have a better chance of stopping the invasion, and you might not spend the rest of eternity locked up in a Brass Box of Torment.<br/><br/>9, What is your character’s sexual orientation and sexual proclivities?<br/>Graven is a hetero male, and he enjoys using sex to punish and to transgress.  He's quite capable of enjoying normal consensual sex if he likes his partner, but he really enjoys fucking someone he shouldn't, or when he can use sex to hurt or frighten someone (the person he's having sex with, or someone else.)<br/><br/>10, If your character had one wish, what would he/she wish for? (Pre demon invasion)<br/>To never meet another powerful demon again.<br/><br/>Note:  I'm terrible at finding good character pics.  I probably won't ever post one unless some charitable soul suggests a suitable one.  Mea Culpa."

But none of these came out to be career supported things but more short lived hobbies.<br/><br/>So, naturally he has no work as he has only basic degree on varied professions and he is naturally lazy to look for work, he lives with parents still and altough mother is forgiving sort his father has grown angrier and bitter more towards his 'good for nothing' son and that has caused big chasm of bitterness grow between them. Escalating almost to hatred. While with mother Vandren is close, and altough mother does not share any parts of Vandren's life she loves him as her son and knows he has talent for greatness.....just lack of inspiration for it.<br/><br/><strong>1, Where was your character born? (What part of the city of Babylon?)</strong><br/>= He was born and raised in industry district (Cutter), near his parents both work places (at bit over the border for Iron Belt). He got basic education in local school (poor sort) and then he went to center of Babylon for high school and university (and he drops out always around last months of university graduation and so he never had got graduation degree in any field). After three drop outs and hefty sums of cash to enlist Vandren as student his father gave up and said Vandren now on earns cash for his education. vandren naturally does not do that effectively so after eight years in uni life he left it for good.<br/><br/><strong>2, What is your character’s main motivation?</strong><br/>= At normal life; nothing much besides live life little effort done by himself as he can. He does not desire to be rich or wellfaring, just a 'okay' life with a good girl which could become his wife and get kids if his wife wants some and raise kids. But not interested to do actual labor or work towards that goal.<br/><br/><strong>3, What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?</strong><br/>= Greatest strenght is imagination, years of gaming has given wide berth of knowlegde in that field and also imagination for stories. Also he can remain surprising calm and not take stress from things and also he is bit of Jack of All trades in skills wise, but weakness is also he is plain lazy youth who lacks driving passion to do something more. He of course does not lay down and die if someone attacks him with knife, but instead focusing defeat a foe (even if he could do so easily) he most likely runs away as it's most safest thing to do and easiest thing to do.<br/><br/><strong>4, What is your character’s greatest hope? Greatest fear?</strong><br/>= Vandren does not have high expectations to his future and so does not hold hopes for it. Greatest fear is simply to live and die alone, as in end of the day he would happily live just by himself so long he would have friends around him. But alone....it would be both sad and frigthening to him.<br/><br/><strong>5, What are your character’s favourite and least favourite things/possessions?</strong><br/>= Vandren favorite possessions are comics, DnD books (which he like shuffle and build up imaginary characthers daily and create stories for them) and of course his nice jeans and leather jacket. Most annoying possession is simply said cell phone; as he is forced carry it around so people can contact him any time and he always haves to fear losing it (as he lost his first cell phone just forgetting it lay in cafe table where it got stolen his father went scary berserk alike from event).<br/><br/><strong>6, What about your character’s emotions? Is there anything that ‘pushes his/her buttons?’</strong><br/>= None deep emotions besides his deep affection to his hobbies and his mother. Also desire befriend people and make friends.<br/><br/><strong>7, Is your character aware of the demonic in the world? If so, why?</strong><br/>= He has always thinked there was other dimensions but it's more philosophical thougths than actual sure knowlegde of it. Only other thing is that he sees dark dreams while he sleeps (do not recal details besides rapidly racing heart and odd mix of dread and exchilirating excitment) and his body feels 'feverish' and these 'fever attacks' increase come more often and more intense as invasion starts close in.<br/><br/><strong>8, If you could, what advice would you give your character?</strong><br/>= Get a freaking single goal and stick with it to bitter end. To pick one his dreams and hold on it tight while pushing forward to make dream become real.<br/><br/><strong>9, What is your character’s sexual orientation and sexual proclivities?</strong><br/>= Vandren is hetero but has got interest on hentai stuff, mostly fetish wear, be dominant, have a slave (favorite fantasy; have a harem and him being master) and also got some interest on tentacle sex and also curious and unique women (and so is drawn to ethnic backgrounded women than plain european stock).<br/><br/><strong>10, If your character had one wish, what would he/she wish for? (Pre demon invasion)</strong><br/>= Get a hot woman love him rest of his life and provide his material needs (basically marry a rich superstar actress who does not mind be main and only source of money in marriage example)"

For as long as she can remember, she had been raised at the Yin and Yang Dojo. While simple apperances seem to be a large dojo for children and adults to learn to defend themselve, underneath it had a much bigger purposes. The family that owned it were part of a secret group of demon and other supernatural hunters. They werent huge by any means, but they have had a long history of facing against the unknown and supernatural and dealing with them from the shadows.

These beings are not the demons of the bible, they are powerful supernatural creatures from another dimension – and they want out. The existence of their kind has been the world’s best-kept secret… until now. A series of events have led a number of government agencies to become aware of their existence… however it is already too late – the end is already upon us.<br/>Those demons that currently walk the earth are but a handful of the masses that seethe in their darkened underworld. Many of those already present on earth are scouts and spies, preparing for the impending invasion. Others are powerful elder demons that have hidden amongst us for millennia.<br/>Demons are as varied as human kind. Some are massive hulking creatures with razor sharp claws which maim and destroy with wild abandon, others are human sized and winged, still others go on four or six legs or use tentacles to attack, entangle and rape their victims. Many are shape-shifters but all possess amazing supernatural powers. A great number of demons can take human form, others can possess humans as hosts and move invisibly in the world of man. Some demons bend the will of humans to their bidding with just the powers of their mind, others seek to beguile humans into doing their bidding with cunning, lies, or the promise of power.<br/>They have all come to earth to escape their previous home world. Some seek to rule humankind as slaves, others merely treat humans as playthings to be used and discarded, others seek to wipe all human life from the face of the earth leaving just demon kind to walk the planet. A few even seek to walk along side human beings in peace or even ally with us.<br/>Although united in their assault on earth, once they are here the many clans and factions within the ‘race’ of demons are likely to turn on one another as they carve up and divide their new home world amongst their kind as well as fight for the spoils.<br/>Each demon embodies a concept, commonly: lust, rage, hatred, avarice, greed, vengeance, pride, power etc. This “concept” is the driving force behind their motivations on earth. Many of their powers are also based around these concepts.<br/><br/>All male demons have a special taste for mortal women.<br/>"

She smiled seeing her, 1969 Cadillac waiting for her, in the parking lot. After the cops, confiscated it after her, unexpected run in, she was worried it might be lost to her. She got in, and leaned back in the drivers seat, taking a deep breath. This is where she felt the most at home... She had so many memories of this car. ""Mom was so mad, at him for buying this<strong>piece of junk</strong>."" She thought, with a smiling. Her father had bought it from scraps, and spent years rebuilding it, she'd even suspected he loved it more then her some times... She'd felt so happy when he gave it to her. She sighed, looking at the clock, there was no time to get lost in memories now, she had to work. Starting her car, she made her way to, H.Q for her next assignment."

the lights of the city were so far away.  They seemed farther, and colder, as the laughter turned cruel.<br/><br/>Charity shivered and huddled into her deck chair as the dozen other partygoers mocked her.  Rachel with her oh-so-perfect teeth, Beatrice with her thousand-dollar tennis bracelet, Dean with his Harvard accent and chiseled muscles.  All their friends.  And beautiful, warm-eyed Christopher, who she'd trusted, and thought she was falling for.<br/><br/>""Chris, I want to go home...""  More laughter.<br/><br/>""No, see, we're playing truth or dare.  And you can't go home until we're finished with you.  Now, I dare you to take your shirt off, so do it.""  Chris took a drink of whiskey, and passed the bottle on.<br/><br/>Charity kept shaking.  It was cold out, and she didn't like the score and more of eyes on her.  They were all so cold, now, like the chill night breeze.  ""It was my turn last time.""<br/><br/>Candice piped up, in her nasal valley girl giggle.  ""Well, now it's your turn again, you stupid bitch.  You're not one of us, you're the<em>entertainment.</em>""<br/><br/>Christopher again.  ""Seriously.  I didn't invite you out here because we hang out with scholarship girls like you.  Now strip, or you swim back home.""<br/><br/>Tears streaked mascara down her face as she slowly pulled the sweater over her head.  She wanted an escape, anything, but there was nothing.  The lights were miles away.  There wasn't a lifeboat, even if she could have got to it before they dragged her down.  Sobs wracked her chest.  What were they going to do to her?  Would they risk the fact that she might tell?<br/><br/>Her small, pale breasts shook up and down as she cried, and wrapped her sweater around herself immediately after taking it off.  Dean tore it away casually, ripping it nearly in half and then throwing it overboard.  ""Dare.  Take off your pants.""  Within minutes, time she'd barely be able to remember later, Charity found herself completely nude, kneeling in the center of a circle of chairs.  Christopher rubbed the crotch of his slacks, slowly stroking the bulge there.<br/><br/>""Dare.  My pants.  Open them.""<br/><br/>Charity couldn't look up at him, but someone threw an empty beer can at the back of her head and she started to shuffle forward on her knees.  The smoothly polished wood of the deck rubbed painfully against her, and she was covered in goosebumps.  A voice like raspy thunder rumbled from above them, on the upper deck.  ""Bullshit.  Sit your pretty ass down.  No dumbass trust fund baby goes to the front of the blowjob line while I'm around.""  The pilot - Charity assumed - was thumping in great big boots down the stairs, with something black and metal in his hand.  She wiped the tears desperately from her eyes, and saw that it was a very, very large revolver.<br/><br/>Christopher's reaction was immediate, ""WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?  Do we pay you to talk, you fucking ignorant prole?  If you know what's good for you, you'll get back up to the wheel, shut your mouth, and take your paycheck!  Do you have any idea what my family can do to you?""<br/><br/>The pilot's hand moved so fast that Charity didn't realize it until a second later, after Christopher fell scrambling backward with his hands on his mouth.  Blood ran through his fingers along with sharp, high, garbled sounds of pain.  She slowly realized that he must have been pistol-whipped.  Sobs rocked her body, now sobs of relief.  This man, whoever he was, was going to save her.  His voice rumbled again.  ""Alright, naked girl.  You're mine for now.  Get up here.""  The others were edging back in their seats, speechless.  Something about him exuded power.  Maybe it was the large-bore handgun he was blithely spinning the cylinder on.  He scooped Charity up off the ground and wiped her tears away with a rag.  ""Can't have you crying on me.  Buck up, or I'll have to blindfold you.""<br/><br/>""Now.""  He spun open the cylinder, and dumped five huge bullets into his hand.  One was left in the gun.  He snapped it closed.  ""We're going to keep on playing a game.  But it's my rules now.  Charity, you're going to tell me which of these fuckers you hate the most.""  He pointed at the bleeding, sobbing Christopher, and chuckled.  ""Probably you, you unlucky scumbag.""  He wrapped an arm around Charity, holding her tight.  She could feel a huge, hard bulge in his pants.  A massive one.  It was digging into her thigh, and the way he held her made sure her body rubbed over it with every move.  ""You can offer to do something to make up for what an asshole you are.  Like maybe give us up some dirt on you, or punch Dean in the balls five times.  If I don't like what I hear, I put this gun to your head and pull the trigger.  You got a five in six chance of coming out just fine.  Then, we just go around the circle.""<br/><br/>""You can't pick me, and Charity's mine now, so you can't pick her either.""<br/><br/>He grinned.  There was something wrong about his teeth, like they were too long, too white, too sharp.  ""We play until you stop being fun to play with.""<br/>"

Firstly, to our world news headlines…”<br/><br/>“China has been rocked by yet another earthquake today. This seismic event measured 8.7 on the Richter Scale. The provinces of Guizhou, Hunan and Hubei appear to be the worst hit. This earthquake marks the third this year for the region. With tens of thousands dead, injured or missing, it will be some days before the final toll will be known. The aid effort has been mobilised but has been grossly overstretched as China is still recovering from its last natural disaster.”<br/><br/>“To Europe now, where the central and eastern countries continue to struggled with the latest outbreak of the deadly Weeping Fever. The fever is now set to be the single largest pandemic in a century. Airports continue to be closed across Europe as well as national boarders. As governments continue to seek a strategy to best combat these outbreaks and prevent further infection, the death toll continues to rise.”<br/><br/>“The western U.S was devastated by hurricane Hephaestus just two weeks passed and in the weeks since the disaster, looting and civil disobedience have crippled several states. The National Guard has been dispatched and a state of martial law imposed, however peace in the region still looks elusive.”<br/><br/>“Staying with the U.S now - the U.S led occupation of South Africa appears complete. The massive military operation is said to be the largest of its kind since the Gulf War. The U.N have named the invasion, and I quote “a human rights nightmare.” The U.S government has maintained that their aims in the region are to curb ethnic genocide and to stop a “growing terrorist threat”. The justification for the military intervention has been hailed by many nations as reckless and even criminal on a world-wide scale.”<br/><br/>“Correspondents on the ground have reported that the U.S forces have set about claiming the largest diamond mining operations in the country, which are some of the richest in the world. These operations have been carried out even before beginning the process of humanitarian relief or establishing civil order in the embattled nation.”<br/><br/>The camera zoomed out revealing a metallic blue news desk, behind which sat the reporter. “Now to the local news front with our lead reporter Penny Chase. Over to you Penny…”<br/><br/>The camera panned across to a neatly dressed young euro asian woman with jet black hair, before the news report continued.<br/><br/>“Thanks Jim.”<br/><br/>“A massive crime wave continues to sweep our city. Recent crime statistics released by the Babylon Police Department indicate the spiking crime rate is even worse than first thought. Perhaps the most shocking statistic, a rise of 515% in violent crimes over the last two years.”<br/><br/>A montage of images flashed across the screen ranging from gangs clashing in the street, to riot police charging an angry mob hurling Molotov cocktail to police opening fire with automatic weapons on a team of masked gunmen.<br/><br/>“In a recent interview with Police Department spokes person Lieutenant Adam Reyner, Atlas News learned that despite record funding and recruitment levels and major restructuring including the addition of two new task forces to the ranks of law enforcement – the Special Investigations Unit and Special Operations Group, the Babylon P.D continues to struggle to maintain law and order within the city. This news comes with several reports of running firefights in the very streets of Babylon between teams from the Babylon Police Special Operations Group and unknown assailants. During these confrontations, bystanders have reported some extraordinary, even unbelievable events, some of which have left people in a near hysteria.<br/><br/>“Atlas news has received some footage from one of the scenes of these bizarre events, purportedly of S.O.G Police attempting to bring to justice one of these criminals…”<br/><br/>A snippet of footage played showing a team of Special Operations Group Police hustling down a narrow city street, clad in black body armour and helmets and armed with assault rifles. Suddenly frantic warning shouts could be heard off-camera “Contact! Fourth floor, east-side!” with a shaky blur, the camera suddenly panned upwards to focus on the side of a large building high above the streets. There loomed a large humanoid figure, however the image appeared blurry and pixelated making it impossible to make any details. Gunfire bursts shattered the silence and the windows around the unidentified figure shattered, sending glass showering downwards to the street below. The unknown figure then appeared to leap out across the expanse of the street, easily crossing the distance and smashed through a neighbouring office window. The footage suddenly faded and the young reporter came back into frame.<br/><br/>“Atlas News apologises for the poor quality of that footage. When questioned about the footage just seen, the Babylon P.D brushed off the recording as amateur digital special effects and claimed that the S.O.G team involved came under fire from above street-level before returning fire. The Police Department declined to comment further on the strange reports apart than to say that it was quote “doing everything in its power to keep the streets of Babylon safe and to root out threats, wherever or whatever they may be.”<br/><br/>“We continue to monitor the situation and will keep you informed of any new developments. This is Penny Chase for Atlas News, bring you the answers on the hour every hour.”<br/><br/>The office worker turned away from the screen, pulling her coat closer around her shoulders and rejoined the masses on their evening pilgrimage home from yet another day of work.<br/><br/>The terrible truth behind what she’d just seen remained a mystery to her, and the nine million other mundane people inhabiting Babylon."

the security team opened up the back of the van and waved everyone out into a massive courtyard outside the accident site.  Cat slipped out and was hit immediately by the sheer amount of activity; further back along the road, where they’d come from, there were corporation guards shoving back first responders; firefighters and police had formed around the gates, but no one was being let in.  She could hear them barking at each other.  The security teams had their weapons up and were openly disobeying the police.<br/><br/>The plant itself was still partly intact; the explosion was not as bad as some of the news bulletins had made out; accidents and fires weren’t uncommon on The Iron Belt.  This one might be a little bigger than most, but it was likely that people in the rest of the city had only heard bits and pieces of what was going on.<br/><br/>“Well, we better get started.”<br/>"

the walls and ceilings were blown out in numerous places, but the floors were stable enough for Cat and the other two lab technicians to make their way toward the epicenter of the explosion.  It was slow going as they tried to find sure footing in the rubble, but within an hour of their arrival on the scene they’d managed to locate the area where the chain reaction had started, a large, open chamber arrayed like a prison, with several levels of cell-lined catwalks around a wide, central courtyard.<br/><br/>“It doesn’t make sense,” Cat was saying, “this is all medical equipment.”<br/><br/>“When we built it, they set aside the east wing for animal testing.  Monkeys, rats, that kind of thing. “<br/><br/>“That’s my point, though.  If this wing was used for live tests, there weren’t any mixing units here to malfunction.  It had to have been something else.   Maybe a gas leak?”<br/><br/>“You’re not here to think about things above your pay grade, Ms. Rearden.  You’re here to look for salvageable lab equipment and test for the severity of site contamination, so why don’t you get out a pencil and a piece of paper and start an inventory.”<br/><br/><div align=""center"">****</div><br/>An hour later, Cat found herself in the sublevels of the east wing, moving door to door and compiling a list of what equipment still looked to be in serviceable condition.  The sublevels had a simple grid layout; each floor consisting of a square lined with rooms on either side of the halls, each room containing a table with adjustable restraints, a variety of surgical implements, and tubes and canisters filled with pharmaceuticals ready for testing.  She was surprised to find that the sublevel was in much better condition than the upper levels of the plant.  Here, the thick walls and reinforced ceiling had held against whatever had detonated above.<br/><br/>That was precisely what was troubling her, however; the same unspeakable carnage that could be observed in glimpses here and there throughout the rubble were present in the sublevels, but with little structural damage, Cat couldn’t understand what had happened to kill these people.  The bodies of several men and women were tangled together in the corner of one of the labs, some clinging to each other as if in terror – their bodies clearly had been crushed, but there was little to explain what it was that had crushed them.  Two members of the security team were still with her.  It would have been a comfort to her normally, except they too seemed on edge, their minds also alerted to the disconnect between what their eyes saw and what the corporation had already told them.<br/><br/>It went that way for what felt like hours; Cat moved from room to room and catalogued the equipment, most of which still seemed pristine.  At this point she was no longer surprised when she opened up one of the rooms and found an array of surgical implements, operating stations, and observation rooms.  She began to wonder whether she’d been sent to help with cleanup because of her background, or because her boss thought she’d keep her mouth shut about what she’d seen here.<br/><br/>By the time she reached the third sublevel of the complex, she’d fallen into routine; her mind wandered and she remembered the people she’d seen through the dust on the ride toward the plant, like ghosts moving through a fog.  She’d been able to hear the sharp cries of those who’d been caught up in the aftermath of the riots—men and women calling out for their loved ones, searching desperately for their loved ones.  The memories were so vivid that when she first heard the woman’s distant cries for help, she did not realize that they were real.<br/><br/>“Do you hear that?” Cat asked.<br/><br/>“Hear what?”<br/><br/>It was difficult to hear; construction teams had moved in above and the sublevels shook periodically as they dropped heavy loads of concrete rubble.   Cat motioned for both the security guards to remain silent, and waited.  The distant cry came again, this time more clearly; the sound was the unmistakable scream of a woman in extreme pain.<br/><br/>“I heard it,” said the smaller of the two security guards; her voice was quiet, feminine.<br/><br/>“Control, this is Sergeant Richter with Fire Team Echo.  Confirm, we are on sublevel three and we have signs of activity.   We are requesting permission to investigate and retrieve the survivor.”<br/><br/>Cat could hear the angry squawk over their comm:<em>Negative…bzzzhk.  We will dispatch a medical team…bzzzhk.   Survivors may be...bzzhk.  Consider armed and dangerous.</em><br/><br/>Cat broke in, “We can help her; I have medical training, if she’s hurt I can help stabilize her.”<br/><br/>“Control, the technician we’re escorting says she has some medical training.  We repeat, requesting permission to investigate and retrieve the survivor.”<br/><br/>Negative.  Return to sublevel two and secure the entrance.  Tell the technician to report for debriefing in the EW courtyard…bzzzhk.<br/><br/>“Ms. Rearden,” sergeant Richter began, “we’re going to have to get you out of here.  I don’t know what’s going on down here, and I don't intend to find out.”<br/><br/>“Mr. Richter,” she responded, “I’m going to find that woman and I’m going to help her.  You can come with me, or you can follow orders.  Waiting on someone else to get down here is not an option as far as I’m concerned, are we clear?”  She was surprised at how even her voice was when she spoke; she’d spent her whole life taking orders, and it felt strange to be giving them; it felt right, though, like this was finally an opportunity to make the world a little better, at least for one person.<br/><br/>Richter and the smaller guard stared at each other for a long moment before the smaller of the two guards gave a slight nod.  Richter muttered an oath under his breath and flipped off the safety on his assault rifle.<br/><br/>“Fine, fuck it.  I guess we all gotta do a good deed at least once in our lives, right?”<br/>"

Looking down upon the neon-lined city streets, it surveyed the seething masses of humanity.<br/><br/>The demon could only be described as something out of a dark dream. Although humanoid in appearance, that’s where the resemblance to anything human ended. Even hunched over it was easily over six feet in height. Its face was flat and slanted back towards a low forehead and feral brow. A short nose sat between the eyes – two slits of black set deep within the shadowed brow. A dim red flame simmered in the depths of those pools of darkness. Massive shoulders slumped down towards huge arms corded with layer upon layer of rippling muscle and sinew. The creature’s limbs each ended in large, viciously sharp black talons. The beast’s chest bulged outwards, leading down to a muscled stomach and small waist. Powerful legs coiled beneath the beast’s heavy frame, ready to spring at any moment. Between the monstrosity’s legs hung supernaturally large genitalia, yet another abomination and a testament to the demon’s true nature. A dense layer of thick grey flesh covered the taunt muscles, not a single hair breaking the smooth surface. The creature’s pointed ears lay back, flat against its head – its senses keen. The beast was on the hunt.<br/><br/>Turning its head slowly, the demon reached out through the void of space and let its innate, supernatural senses take over.<br/><br/>A kilometer away northwest the demon could smell the fresh, sweet scent of perfume on a young college student stepped down from the steps of Babylon City Library.<br/><br/>Just a kilometer and a half to the south it could hear the nervous breathing of a desperate mugger as he waited in a shadowed doorway for his next victim.<br/><br/>Two and a half kilometers away to the northeast it sensed the wave of pleasure wash over a sweat-covered demon as it thrust deep into its pleading human victim.<br/><br/>The hunter had found its prey.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">*   *   *</div><br/>The attack was over in a matter of seconds. There was no warning, no signs of danger to warn the four demons. One moment the they had been enjoying the unwilling pleasures of a pretty young clubber, the next moment one of the companions was being wrenched off the crying, naked woman, being lifted clean off the ground and slammed up against the brick wall of the alleyway.<br/><br/>A massive black talon covered the demons head and pressed the side of the demon’s face against the wall. All the demon could do was flail blindly about and release a garbled scream – a mix of pain and terror. The skull popped with a sickening crunch. It was crushed against the brick wall with such force, large cracks formed in the brickwork and spread out away from the bloody gore. The limp, lifeless body slumped to the ground of the grime-covered alleyway.<br/><br/>The remaining demons withdrew from the slick orifices of their human victim who shrieked loudly before attempting to crawl away from her brutal attackers.<br/><br/>The trio spun upon their ambusher expecting to find a group of determined attackers – instead they found the hulking form of a single massive demonic beast standing beside the crumpled form of what was once their comrade. This creature was unlike any of their kin that they had encountered before, either on earth, or back home in the nether. Instinctively they spread out, cautiously circling the enemy, trying to take the brief moments to gauge the relative strength of their bold assailant.<br/><br/>There was to be no doubt – this would be a struggle to the death.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">*   *   *</div><br/>“Pathetic.” Behemoth could smell the scent of fear upon them, but like any smart demon they hid any hint of weakness from their faces.<br/><br/>The smell of iron, blood from the fallen danced across his nostrils, his chest rose and fell to the rhythmic beat of his powerful heart – this was the part of the hunt, which he savoured the most. It had been<em>far</em>too long since his last venture out into the concrete jungle. He’d been enjoying the comforts of his home a little too long, but he couldn’t deny his instincts forever.<br/><br/>“Let’s see what these pups have got in them.” Behemoth would let them make the next move he decided. It mattered little to him. They were already dead.<br/><br/>Sensing their enemy’s hesitation, the three attacked in unison – years of fighting together had granted them the canny ability to time and coordinate their attacks to maximum advantage. The centre demon darted forwards, swiping at Behemoth’s head with an extended claw. The demon to the left leaped towards his exposed side, attempting to grab his arm and sink his teeth into his flesh. To the right struck out with a swift kick towards his right leg, trying to put him off balance.<br/><br/>Behemoth reacted to the three simultaneously. Springing into the air with surprising agility for a beast of his size, he brought a taloned foot down against the chest of the centre attacker while avoiding the pair at his flanks. The resulting kick hit home, smashing the chest of the doomed demon and sending him skidding backwards five meters. With its ribs smashed-in, all the demon could do was lie face down and struggle to breathe.<br/><br/>Behemoth turned the three-pronged attack against his enemies. Seizing the left demon by the arm, he spun, manoeuvring so that he held the demon between himself and the final attacker. He wrenched at its arm and he demon responded with a roar of agony. Blood sprayed across the cobblestones. Behemoth glanced down at his hand… clenched there in his fist was the ragged, bloody arm of his enemy.<br/><br/>That was enough. The fourth and final demon relinquished any thoughts of victory, turned and fled down the alleyway.<br/><br/>The demon, which now lacked one of its upper extremities, fell to its knees, struggling to staunch the flow of blood. Even its regenerative powers weren’t enough to save him. Behemoth bent down over the bloodied demon, seized it round the head with both hands and with a sharp jerk and a loud “crack” – the demon fell – it’s head twisted around backwards. The creature’s horrified face stared lifelessly up at the night sky.<br/><br/>Behemoth didn’t pause for a moment; he had more prey to catch. Leaping into the air he cleared the twenty-five meters to the fleeing demon in a heartbeat. The massive bulk of his body crashed down onto the shoulders of the demon. The enemy rolled over and frantically lashed out with its viciously sharp teeth and claws, however the fury of Behemoth was greater. Behemoth’s blackened talons were stained red as they rent at the flesh of his enemy. Although demon flesh was abnormally dense, it seemed to come way in ribbons under his attacks. Behemoth’s full fury was unleashed - blow after terrible blow rained down until little more than a quivering pile of gore remained.<br/><br/>Behemoth stood and turned. He was covered in the blood of his enemies now, however he ignored the rivulets of blood dripping from his smooth, grey flesh. He stalked back down the alley to where the battle had first begun. The demon with the crushed ribcage struggled along the ground, a look of blind terror on his face. All pretense of pride and courage was gone now.<br/><br/>Behemoth didn’t even bother to look down at his fallen foe. He brought one taloned foot down to rest over the back of the demon’s head, before crushing its skull into the pavement. Gore pooled around his feet. The beast turned his head to the stars above and let out a single, long, primal roar.<br/><br/>A hollow whimper sounded from nearby. Glancing over he saw the pale, naked form of the young woman the four had been enjoying before the fight had begun. “I’d almost missed you there…” Behemoth pondered to himself.<br/><br/>He stepped over towards the young woman crouched against the dumpster.<br/><br/>“Spoils of war.” Behemoth mused, as his large shadow passed over her face."

A thin rain fell, its threads hissing and sputtering in the flames of the torches bracketing the city gate. The wings of the gate stood open, as always: only during a siege would the gate proper be closed, as a defensive measure. Otherwise, the entrance was barred at night with a heavy, reinforced grate lowered from above, with a small door to allow the city guard ingress and egress if needed.<br/>Above the city, on a cliff overlooking both the harbor and the town, towered the duchal castle, its black walls forming a hole against the overcast sky. Viewn from the highway, its central tower, with two lower guard towers on each side on the outer wall, looked suspiciously like it was designed to send a message to an attacking force - that message being ""fuck you.""<br/>Out to the right, the city wall extended to the shore, there giving way to the harbor fortifications. Between these and the Duchal fleet, Caergoth was one of the safest ports in this part of Solamnia, although the harbor fees were astronomical; as a result, many mariners preferred other harbors and transporting the goods to Caergoth via caravan for the last hundred miles or so.<br/>To the left, the lights of a large building shone into the night. This was the terminus of the local caravan routes, an inn designed to house hundreds of wagoneers, merchants, mercenaries and other businesspeople at the same time. Its origins dated back to a better day and age, and like most of the other fortified buildings of Caergoth, it had already been here when the Cataclysm struck, destroying Istar and sending shock waves all across Ansalon. The inn rested squarely between the highway leading to Solanthus and Lemish, circling the Garnet Mountains north and passing by the south edge of the Vingaard Mountains, and a far less active road circling the Garnet Mountains to the south and and slowly vanishing near the Darkwoods.<br/>Inside the inn, the common room was sparsely populated for its size - but given the state of the land lately, still busy. A small group of mercenaries led by a giant of a man occupied two tables in the far corner, occupied with food, ale and a hearty discussion. Closer to the entrance, a group of wagoneers, a single merchant and a handful of men-at-arms occupied another three tables, similarly busy. Beyond those two groups, other patrons were scattered around the room, engaged in their business."

He'd arrived earlier in the day, one of a long line of ragged and tired travelers slipping into the warm embrace of the town, and although it'd been less dark then, it certainly hadn't been any less wet, and he'd spent quite a bit of time tucked in front of the fireplace.

Fairies were not always the small creatures one thinks of now only those that stayed behind chose that. One Moonlight Dance many centuries ago a mist rolled in and surrounded the folk of our kind as it sparkled of light . Out of it the Ancient One appeared and gathered all around. In the mist she showed all what was about to come the wars, the death as one tribe turning against another, deceit and slavery. We were the chosen to carry the rare essence of the light of the mist to a promised land that would be guarded and obscured from all if we believed and would follow. It is said that a pure ball of light appeared and the Ancient One asked who would give their life to ensure this protection. Two children, twins no less stood up and holding hands they danced into that magical ball of light before anyone could stop them. It lifted in the air and spun changing from darkness and back to light and the Elfin Faeries cried out begging the Ancient One to take them instead falling to their knees. All that stayed with their hearts crying out was then transported to this land we know now nestled in the mountains and hidden away. The two children became one aged by the number of both their years, merged and filled with knowledge of dark and light. That was the birth of  AlySandra the Mystic and the promised land was named Mystoria …and our people became known as Mystorians. The whisper of what happened spread across all lands.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Queen : AlySandra the Mystic </strong><br/><br/>The Queen has two sides to her persona ...the protector and the comforter.<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong>The Protector  :</strong> <br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/Fairyland/Protector.jpg)</div><br/><br/> <strong>Mage Abilities : </strong> <br/><br/><br/><br/> <strong>Charms - Impressive </strong> <br/> <br/><br/><strong> Gift : Transferance - Absorption of the Soul </strong> ...is a ritualistic power that allows one to see into the heart of another and if a dark void resides there.

The preservation of their land is held in high esteem. The replanting of trees to the harmonic balance of aiding the animal life to sustain manageable numbers for the lands given is done with much skill.<br/><br/>Mystorians believe that one is born containing a blueprint of their design and purpose inside. Children are raised by the Overseers.

The training then moves to the chosen fields Archerians, Beasterians, Crafterians , Culinarians , Herbarians, Overseers, Truth Seekers , Priests of the Mist and Royalty.

Their Deity the Ancient One was feed strength by the worshipping acts done in the pleasure guilds located around the Kingdom. They had lasted many centuries obscured and hidden behind the Mist surely there had to be worthy nations out there that were worth trading with as another of these barbaric men had been found ..straggler he may have been. The threat still real in everyone hearts and minds.<br/><br/>Today in the inner chambers of the Council the Royal Family had gathered ...to discuss who would go on the journey of the First chosen task force. The debate on the why had already been solved. The room was quiet as they sat around the broken circle of tables ..Crescent moon shaped sections The Queen AlySandra located at the North ...be side her several of the oldest members in training . Carlito took the East side and Evelyna the West . The Priests of the Mist guardians of the Royal bloodline stood about the room watching .<br/><br/>The silence was broken by the Queen<strong>..."" Radella has succeeded in the testing and came out the victor for the first chosen of the Truth Seekers ..the Light is indicating to head North and just over the Mountain Ridges and past the woods lays a nation of humanity based. It seems unclear though as the visions fade . ""</strong>as she went silent again.<strong>"" Whom do we send with her ?""  </strong><br/><br/>Carlito shifted as the queen was looking directly at him<strong>..."" I would put up Bethonia from the Archarians as she has a limited ability of Animal Speech and specializes in the language of the falconhawk ..the bird could fly out and scout the ground area before them returning to help direct the way. They are like one and her skills as a Archer are admirable. ""</strong>He sat back in the chair then and thought more on the issue.<br/><br/>Evelyna pondered things and then her elegant voice rang out into the room .<strong>"" I would send Krandall from the Horsemen ..his sword and tactical abilities seem to be most proficient . I get a sense of increased awareness from him and a drive that is not always present in a man. Dedication he has shown and one of the later chosen by the Ancient One so his heart is not as cold of the blackness. He still shows an empathy and without a doubt would give his life willingly if need be to protect the Truth Seeker. "" </strong><br/><br/>The Queen nodded ...closing her eyes as she leaned back in the chair listening then to the other members as they discussed the agreement of the two choices. Both applicants spoken of she knew as they had indeed done well to honor themselves int he eyes of the Mystorians. Then nodded her head and looked back over to Carlito ..<strong>"" And with this party of three now ...the Truth Seeker Radella , Krandall the Horseman and Bethonia the Archarian ...whom else shall we send . ""</strong>the room went quiet and all eyes looked to Carlito wondering which name he would speak out into the room.<br/><br/>Carlito closed his own eyes and rubbed at his forhead for he was debating on this one for many a weeks .<strong>"" I am going to put forth Gunthur the Beastman. His gift of Animal Speech is more perfected and he has a pack of wolves that follow him everywhere. He has found 2 of the barbarians that have attempted to enter our realm and though has a brawn and roughness about him is not as socially secluded as some of the others. Has a bit more patience and seems to adapt to challenges easier. Never turned down a tough assignment and volunteers for more of the dangerous mission at hand. I put him forth unto the table. "" </strong><br/><br/>Evelyna wrinkled her nose ...uggh the man was a brute ..with that snake like curls in his hair making a face. He smelled like them wolves that was fer sure. Aggressive he was indeed thinking of the last time she seen him in one of the Pleasure Guilds dominating and rough. Evelyna just preferred a woman's touch it seemed. Though the wolf pack did seem to have some merit .

The woman did aide the Queen well in keeping the communications going.<br/><br/>The doors were then opened to the chambers of the room and food was brought in .. a few musicians playing flutes and string instruments entered playing a melodious tune as the royal family took part in a bit less structured conversation . The Queen would enjoy the activities and take in the delight of the others ..noting the concerned look on Carlito's face as they did have a Barbarian to contend with in the cellars of the Castle.<br/>"

Thankfully she had enough to focus on and it did come at a time she was somewhat distracted for the season was late autumn. The perfect time for gathering gea-pah flower petals, somewhat beautiful in their own regard the petals were far from a vital ingredient of any of the salves Phera knew. What the elf did know however is when crushed the petals and then added them to to olive oil, the resultant mixture was perfect for preserving all plants sames prone to drying out, rotting or simply loosing their potency over time.<br/><br/>Any self respecting herbalist would be gathering them now. Without it some ingredients simply were not worth gathering unless one had the means of mixing the salve there on the spot. There was discussion concerning the sensiblity to cultivate the plant but it was only talked of in passing, most agreed with the belief that messing too much with the natural layout of the woods caused more griefs later and Phera was no exception.<br/><br/>The flower was valuable enough that generations ago royalty inquired if the services of a splinter fraction of the Archarians would be useful in accompanying the herbalists during this time. Sensible suggestion from royalty perhaps, however the herbalists wouldn't hear of it. To herbalists the time for gathering<em>gea-pah </em>was more a time for informal competition and an opportunity for the novices to gather something which could be bartered for mentoring time by those more proficient in the craft.<br/><br/>There was only one problem. These plant was as a creeper found on one particular tree which happened to be about places favored by a rather aggressive creature.<br/><br/>Will-o-wisps.<br/><br/>Those creatures were cruel. Usually they would favor marshy areas and leach the life of those bogged down in mud, they were smart too and often used their enzymatic lights to<br/>trick younglings into following them to their doom. They could be so agile. Mages could kill them, perhaps some of the Archarians could bring one down but the herbalists had another trick. Only recently was it accidentally discovered that will-o-wisps despised certain noises of a particular pitch, much like how fingernails over slate could be intolerable to many, a certain sharp whistling sound of a particularly high pitch would scatter these cruel creatures, perhaps not for long, but for long enough.<br/><br/>The arrows Phera were made specifically to create such a whistle during its short flight, and already she had let at least half dozen loose. Retrieving them in the woods this thick was impossible so mentally the elf constantly estimated her remaining gathering time by the whistling arrows she had left.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>Two days later Phera had reappeared in the settlement with a prodigious haul, her entire backpack overflowing with compressed petals. The elder herbalists couldnt believe it and immediately accused her of gathering so much to jeapodise the health of the plants for following seasons. To the accusations Phera smiled and opened the back for inspection. Only leafs of certain sizes returned the gaze of the inspectors - enough to prove they came from non vital plants of the flowers.<br/><br/>A haul this big meaned a few things, one of which included half being given to the royal herbalists, something Phera hoped to see rewarded.<br/><br/>A quick stroll to a natural meadow which what the elves concerned the start of the palace was met with a priestess of the mist eyeing her curiously.<br/><br/>""Hail Herbalist Phera, if your business is with royality then its none of mine but if it is of the haul master Eldron mentioned you managed then your timing is excellent indeed. Rumor of a venture into other lands is unheard of and the royal stewards are in a frightful way gathering supplies to stock so. If your pack is full of gea-pah<br/>petals I hope you dont mind if i escort you into the palace personally for i fear you may otherwise be bowled over in others rush to see this time managed formally""<br/><br/>Phera agreed and soon with the Priestess by her side the herbalist was strolling through the palace...<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

He was very good at that. Also a fond believer in all work and no play makes Carlito a dull boy . The man did more work than he ever dreamt of playing as all in the kingdom knew but when that itch came a calling . Well ...nothing got done till it was scratched . So after letting the ladies fill him in on where and what they were now on the way to do .<strong>"" So tell me beautiful one have you entered the lottery ..I am envious of that lottery ..I so wish to see the worlds beyond our little realm . I wonder if it is as the Ancient One told of so long ago .. or if a peaceful people exists like ourselves . Can you imagine the adventure put out before them ? What walks of life exists after so many centuries of time . Do our elfin cosins still even exists or has all turned to barbaric as the ones crossing into our realm now ? I am so eager to hear the stories upon the return ."" </strong>The man spoke with an elegance and his excitement in these things were not sarcastic as a truth and excitement rang out in his words ."

Phera was uncommonly tall however and strangely their height matched making it easy to hold his pace.<br/><br/><strong>""I seek those preparing horses for the group marked to venture beyond as they may be in need of gea-pah I have with my person. Usually the royal herbalists reward such a haul, but if they are to be given to the group to aid in their journey surely such a historical honor rewards me enough, do you think so also Carlito ?""</strong><br/><br/>Phera smiled. This was her little test of the prince. Young Royalty notoriously believe being useful to royal intentions is an honor and reward unto itself. The moment habits formed those who are arrogant or dismissive usually retained their values regardless of the success they gave. The prince was young knowing his thoughts on such a thing would give a lot of insight into how he would treat others down the line.<br/>"

The pillars in the room were about 4 ft high and made in a rounded circle ..on top of each was a bowl that burned various incenses , sage ..and other herbs that allowed a calming and cleansing of the mind and spirit. The underground hot spring was located in an adjacent chamber to the ball of light . It too rested on a rounded pedestal similar to the bathing area with the half pillars around it . A few of the Priests of the Mist waited for her to step up out of the bath so they could dry the queen off and apply the ointment. A silence filled the room  ...the names of all the children to be done this week , 8 of them ..all had the representations of their souls gathered and all were placed up on the pedestals around the ball of light. Oh how it changed in color and glowed and sparkled ..growing dim and then brighter. The pure essence of the soul that fine thread that linked all Mystorians together throbbed and pulsed within that light .<br/><br/>Evelyna was with several of the master craftsmen of the land ...as they went over all the wares being sent ..the finest samples of wine , chocolates , jewelry , samples of wood ..flutes , oh the bows and arrows ..the dried herbs , and meats and the tobacco. Up come the master of culinary and he was beside himself pacing back and forth in an uproar over the fact that the pastries would not make such a journey and be perfect . A few of the younger royalty had gathered around him and tugged on the man's coattails ..as the Catina the leader of the youngones ..spoke outright . "" Oh but Master Kalvin ..think of the joy that the people will have as you share them at the festivities thoughout the next days . And the elfin breads that give one strength and endurance ..they will travel well.

All about the kingdom ..great feasts were being prepared ...even if one could not come to the castle the day that the Awakening took place was a non work day across the land ..well after the festivities was set up anyways. So infact it did roll through a few days time, but time in Mystoria was something they had plenty of . As the aging process was quite slow compared to those in the outside world .Evelyna was herself only 400 years old as was Carlito ...the Queen well her age far surpassed almost everyone in the Kingdom . Children grew at a normal rate for the most part starting to slow after the age of twelve and then the outer appearance held varying for many ..but no truly old people existed in the land .<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Carlito smiled watching the lovely Phera as she exclaimed her joy over the trinket as he called it . Watching her dance about , the way she touched the gift pleased the man to no end. Humbled by her expression of joy over such a little thing was handed to him over and over during the days of his life. The Master craftsman knew that the gifts did not stay in the hands of Carlito long ..yes some things he did cherish and keep but most all at one point in time was given to others in the Kingdom.

Although disrespectful of her station instinct to think of her undressed compelled Phera. A sharp intake of breath made it all the more obvious to others looking in and a full minute passed before Phera realized why so many were glaring at her.<br/><br/><strong>""Oh my apologies Princess, your even more stunning close than rumor speaks of. I didn't mean disrespect eyeing you so with a mind wisped free of etiquette but alas I am living proof rumors of the herbalist caste are true I am afraid.""</strong>catching her wits the herbalist realized royalty had asked a question<strong>""Oh concerning their transport the petals themselves are laced with so much preservative they themselves do not wither when kept dry, one merely needs to crush the petals and add the powder sparsely to olive oil at a measure of one thimble per flask to make the oil do likewise""</strong><br/><br/>When meeting the maker of the necklace Phera bobbed respectfully<strong>""It is stunning and unlike many, thoughtfully has rounded edges so the sleeper doesn't prick themselves during the night.

And if I have a choice of pigments then green for me if I may, I doubt any herbalist would keep silver clean long enough to walk a dozen paces, you know what we are like, we would get distracted by some plant we see and the next thing you notice we are getting our hands dirty inspecting its roots or the likes""</strong><br/><br/>Phera smiled. It wasn't true, the herbalists were still elves and as such could be very neat if they tried but jesting how silver-weave would be wasted on her was letting the dressmaker know politely Phera was not taking her services for granted.<br/><br/>Still silver weave was ....<em>wonderful </em>... with the second thought Phera quickly whispered<strong>""but if there is silver weave embellishments I sure will be smiling.

All know that the type of herbalist I am spends a lot of time collecting and brewing aphrodisiacs. So much so our blood is rendered saturated with them always - thus the reason for the rumors about us thinking of little else. </strong><br/><br/><strong>As much as my mind instructs me to place my gaze where it is suitable your family is so stunning and I can not help eyeing you all thinking of crude longings no matter how inappropriate the situation may be. I am honored you have offered what you have but no matter how well dressed I will be I will be oggling you and the prince and likely all your family with simple expressions which can't be misinterpreted. It would not take long before it gets the better of all reasons and I will try and act on such thoughts. <br/><br/>Being allowed near your family may come over as insulting to those that you are giving audience for.

How could Evelyna not do what came next ..as she leaned forward and rolled her tongue over the woman's lips and pressed her body up against her wrapping arms around in a warm embrace. As Evelyna kissed her softly sucking on the top lip and then the bottom . As she pulled back and smiled ..letting all that register.<br/><br/><strong>"" Phera , fear not .. you will not insult any of us . It is true that rarely do the members of royalty visit the pleasure guilds ..but we are no different in our urges that you child.

The Queen Alysandra  will not be affected as I don't believe she has ever taken anyone to her bedchambers more out of fear as to what her passions might do to the other. But even if you do somehow cause a stirring in her ...it will have been long overdue.

It only seemed to excite him more as there was really nothing more beautiful than watching two lovely women together. Carlito took many lovers of various types over the years shared in common but no such pairing off ever lasted for long as it was not the way of their people. Though to him Phera was intoxicating and now the one he wanted to please in all ways and if that meant letting her be with Evelyna then he would indeed share or even give her up to please the beautiful herbanist .<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>The ritual in the caverns below was being carried out ..as Alysandra had been cleansed and prepared her still yet virginal body ..stepped into the ball of light . As the others bowed down ..and spoke out the enchantments of purity as the second phase of preparations for the Awakening Ceremony was underweigh . The ball of light seemed to grow and pulse as two women could be seen inside and then combined back into one ..the changing of their form from children to adulthood , separation and rejoining . It was the cycle of things .. as each child was offered up and the decision of what was to come was being revealed to the queen .<br/><br/>The children were also being made ready ...each being given a ceremonial bath and dressed in pure white robes . A crown of flowers woven in the young ladies hair along with ribbons .. the boys were groomed as well a white rose added to each pinned in the lapel of the robes. As no boy seemed to want flowers in his hair ..though the Overseers teased of doing so . It was a happy room .for the most part as this was a joyous occasion . Maybe a small tension existed as one never knew what the outcome would be ..one boy sat in the corner his head hung low . Prayer was offered up and music was played to help keep the children's minds off any negative aspects that might go on that day.<br/><br/>"

Ashamed and embarrassed to be shown out as stupid and simple minded in public nervousness soon took its hold of her. She may as well be a fish out of water struggling for breath, she certainly felt as hopeless as one.<br/><br/>Altogether perfect timing to the priestess who felt like talking down to Phera' however....<br/><br/><strong>""We are very grateful for your harvest but walking in assuming its enough to distract our royalty is quiet another thing entirely"" </strong><br/><br/>the priestesses were furious, at this both turned about and stormed off towards their chambers... while muttering to themselves<br/><br/><strong>""Why other races think us elves have grace and formality is beyond me !

I am stunned Phera even managed a curtsy ! Thank god they spend most of their time in the woods. Heaven knows how we could manage anything if they choose so otherwise.

The thing was already starting to annoy her. She wondered how long she would have to be here, stuck in this horrid dress. She continued to watch Carlito and Krandall, shaking her head at the two men, thinking they were going to get the women in bed with them, but she did have to admit to herself, Carlito wasn’t bad looking. Well, he was handsome, very handsome. She finally forced her eyes away from him, hopefully before he noticed she was staring at him and looked around the room.

Slowly she stood and tilted her head as her form changed from one to another . Waiting and watching the two as a chemistry seemed to be about them that she could not truly understand or deny ...though the whispers of the ball of light spoke to her mind. Understanding now the test that was being brought forth from the Ancient one and some part of Alysandra felt a sadness creep into her soul. Knowing the result to come of the draw and with wonderment on how the chosen Prince was going to handle such things .<br/><br/>The room grew quiet ...the globe of names had been brought into the middle as well . Evelyna stood next to the Priests of the Mist ..all waiting to draw out the name of the chosen among the people to go .

I desire the role of royal concubine for all of your royalty alike for several reasons I hope you all lend your ear for even if you disagree with such a proposal.

But we all know if true blessing is sort her favor extends most to those acting in her image as true daughters and sons of her loins. In uncertain terms this relates to the worshiping acts of pleasure guilds, which our royalty has endeavored to keep well maintained. We all live long enough to remember times long ago and all know now that days are not like what they have been.<br/><br/>We hear of cruel powerful beasts roaming our boarders, we hear of aggressive nations eyeing our wealth jealously, we hear of worse threats abroad and the ever present hunger beastly wants of males have towards our fine women, and so also our men. Many an elf wondering outside the safety of our groves are taken as sex slaves. All of which has little by little adapted our nature. Without realising it we have assumed characters in response to these things, our nature more formed in response to becoming as different as we can to solidify our identity than being steadfast in our old nature.<br/><br/>We responded in ways that were practical - worshiping became more ritualized more symbolic, more a role we look to our priestess' to manage for us. All the while we took our ageless beauty for granted and still do. Remember the reason why the ancient one granted our beauty was because we used it to please one another, celebrated life through the expression of carnal desires - she greatly desired watching us do so from up high and rewarded us with beauty that was shared and gave the gods pleasure to watch between throws of passion. Now most of us dress our fine forms up in silks and embroidery fitting for our elegant curves and see ourselves more as living works of art than an extension of the Ancient ones nature, more like walking flowers than the magnificence of bodily expression the gods so adored in seeing.<br/><br/>The royal dressmaker expressed her concerns that all of royalty from queen to prince and princess are working far too hard and it troubles her worrying they do not put politics and logistics away when seeking sleep. Such concerns keep one up and night and not fresh for tomorrows needs. The old ways knew of this danger and royal concubines were not only encouraged but mandated for those of high title such that their relieving methods granted their minds rest to start afresh every dawn.<br/><br/>Your prince desires my refinement in my manner before he deem me suitable for such a role, something which royalty can rightly ask of those seeking so. I know my knowledge of politics and strategy and logistics is not what his advisory have nor believe I will not speak out of place in times unsuitable - for lessons of such refinement to be managed I would need decades of training but I promise my refinement in the pleasure of the loins of our royalty be that of artfulness untempered by social normality. It may be true that such things be bordering on perversion to some but in the old ways to place these concerns aside it was acceptable for requests for concubines to demonstrate their craft publically were granted. What was displayed during these times were acts that a wife would unlikely do, but the relief and pleasure of the royalty was made obvious to those watching and thus the concubine's importance.<br/><br/>Furthermore if royalty wishes it, in the old ways they can request concubine to serve the needs of guests they have or those they wish to reward or forbid engagements of any of their choosing. A concubines service, my service is the honor of this art.<br/><br/>The old ways saw the royal family using their concubines indiscriminately between matters of state and great advances were made during such times due to quick wit of fresh minds of our leaders. Formally such a role was titled ""Grace of the Queens loins"" for such concubines pleasured the queen's loins directly as well as the loins of those from the queens loins. Such a role was formally made by the concubine pleasing the queens privates, and if accepted as suitable ritual suckling of the queen by the concubine and of the concubine to those using her would prevail such that the concubine could gather the energies of the ancient one to serve in such holy manner. How much of the formal ways we wish to accept is that of royalty's choosing. However what of of myself and of royalty which suits our purposes I do greatly are in need of knowing now. I Phera formally and thoroughly offer my role as such an esteemed station if my fellow elves would happier for it""</strong><br/><br/>Phera closed her eyes and curtsied, just like so many matters, what happened now was all in the hands of royalty<br/>"

He glanced over int he direction of the Queen that was standing at this point . Attempting to take her mood that was very difficult to do in the state of connection she was in right now . So as Phera moved into her eloquent speech that seemed all in the room maintained the silence for and lifted up their heads giving her the audience she sought to now move her request to an open forum . Well definitely the woman did not need any refinement and being put in his place only made her charm more enduring to him.<br/><br/>Evelyna drew in a breath and watched as the woman put forth the cause she seemed to so dearly want to reinstate ..though she too swallowed and glanced back at the Queen. The timing of this outburst of emotion and bringing up the ways of old might not fall on such receiving ears as it might have in a royal chambers. Though it had been changed for what reason even Evelyna was not completely sure only knew it had to do with the purity that must remain with the Queen. That was not always common knowledge to all ...as Evelyna looked about the main room many here were common visitors to the castle and special guests so maybe this was not a bad place for the Herbanist to speak.<br/><br/>Radella had stepped up late as usually ...with a slight skip in her step though right on time for the drawing of the name only to see a woman speaking and the strawberry blonde beauty stopped near Evelyna . As she an exchange in glances took place ..though Radella remained silent as did all others. A few whispered conversations took place when Phera finally ended her speech with a curtsy .<br/><br/>A silence fell upon the room then as the Queen began to move forward ...as if taking in this woman that the ball of light had spoken about . Her eyes were directed at Carlito as she spoke out ..<strong> "" If this woman is your desired wish to return to the ways of the old Carlito ...Evelyna .."" </strong>as she looked over at the Princess ..<strong>"" Then that is what we shall do . However my own requirement to keep out Kingdom safe is abstaining from such carnal desires as these you speak of and in that reasoning alone ...the banishment of such concubines were removed from the Castle and the building of the pleasure stations were created. To give the Herbanist their own special place in our society at Large. Though my own selfishness to remove the temptations of such things may as you have pointed out ...created an undue tension in the other members of royalty in the Kingdom. I grant said position to you my dear ...but you will be restricted in your movements within these walls and forbidden to enter my private chambers and a few others. ""</strong>as she nodded to the woman then but kept her distance .<br/><br/>Then the Queen motion to the table ...to let Carlito and the new concubine be seated. The children were brought in and the ritual was preformed as the Queen placed her hand up under each of their chins ...and spoke out the position from hence forth they would be trained . Applause echoed the room as each one then was received by the Master of each . The last little boy walked up and the queen closed her eyes as if in knowing ..as her hand reached out and touched up under his chin . No words were spoken as the boy's body went rigid and the form of woman held and in the next few seconds all would recoil in the horror . As the boys body burst into a blue light flame ..and within minutes was consumed and only a pile of ashes remained.<strong> "" Filled with the power of the dark ones .."" </strong>was all the queen spoke as she moved to return to her chair . Every priest in the room seemed to be physically shaken as a surge of energy was thrust into their bodies making their eyes glow dark .<br/><br/>The Queen the then motion<strong>..."" Let the drawing for the lottery take place ...so we might end this ritual with a more pleasent note ..""  </strong><br/><br/>Radella walked up the small set of steps that was provided and placed her arm down deep into the globe of names ...swirling her arm around till her hand clasped a piece of paper and drew it out . Moving to open it ....then she looked up at the Queen unsure at first whether she should really call out the name on the paper. Swallowing as the Queen only nodded to her as if telling Radella that yes she knew what name was on the ticket .<br/><br/>Radella cleared her throat ..<strong>"" The one chosen from the people to join in the Quest and become part of the Missionaries to seek out what lies beyond is ...Phera hailing from the Herbanists from the village of Trinity ."" </strong><br/><br/>Carlito felt like his heart had been yanked out of his chest as blinked and glanced at the woman his arm was around .<strong> "" Is that ..."" </strong>then he went silent . The room in applause and standing as the word of who was chosen was echoed out into the courtyards and the chant calling out her name seemed to echo into Carlito's mind like a sword being thrust and twisted over and over into his soul. He would only have her for a brief while before she would be sent away . How could this be ..to find one that made your soul sing out with a desire to cherish till the end of time and now have to give that up to send forth into god only knew what . There was no way to hide his own grief over the name called.<br/><br/>Evelyna's eyes went to Carlito and she could almost feel his pain ..having not seen him this completely enthralled with a woman before in forever ..never had he wanted something so much if he was willing to take her to his side . What words of comfort could be given for once even she had no idea what to say for it had been an idea brought forth from her own mind to have a representative of the people go along."

When she felt him pull her away from the others, she wrapped an arm around his waist, leaning into the man’s side. Once he picked her up, her arms moved to wrap around his neck and shoulders, pressing her lips back to his, kissing him gently, “I like that idea.” She whispered, resting into him as he carried her down the steps. Her eyes lit up when she saw the ceremonial bathing chambers, it had been her first time there, and she was happy it was with Krandall.<br/>Removed her arms from around his neck and shoulders, nodding her head lightly as she shivered slightly from the feel of his finger on her soft lips. Blushing deeply when he cupped the back of her head, she pressed her lips to his, kissing him back just as soft, a small groan escaping her as he spoke. “I won’t I promise..” she whispered quietly, brushing her lips over his lightly.<br/>Relaxed back into the bench, closing her eyes at his touch. Feeling his eyes on her, she opened her eyes to look at him, blushing madly.  Reaching behind her, she quickly untied her corset, tossing the cloth to the floor before arched her chest lightly and shiver softly under his lips, spreading her legs as he moved his hand up her thigh. Chewing her bottom lip, she raised her hips allowing her panties to come off, then she moved to feet, stepping  out of them. She shivered and groaned lightly to his touch before laying back on the lounge chair. Staring up at the man she had been craving for years, she nodded her head. “Yes, Krandall. Make me yours.”<br/>"

The hilt of a sword is visible, barely, and a shield is slung casually over one shoulder.

Black eyes, black hair and a warm complexion - just shy of tanned. Mannish, some would say, although her features are even, even attractive, her direct gaze, thin lips and strong jaw aren't terribly feminine.

The physics of cutting really suggests that the edge of the blade is there as a way of reducing wasted energy. For example, imagine a spear: when you thrust (to impale your target), if you miss, then you have to draw the spear back, during which time you're open to being injured or killed yourself, with no way of injuring your opponent until you're back in a position to stab at them again. Once you add a long cutting blade, however, you can potentially do some damage as you withdraw, slicing along an exposed limb or flank with the edge. Thus, most of the sword's motion would be parallel to the blade, similarly to the way one uses a butcher knife to cut slices of meat. Very little lateral force is necessary to cut deeply into flesh, if the edge of the blade is moving quickly. (After all, how often do you hack into a piece of meat with a large knife? That is, if you know anything about cutting meat?) If that's true, then any sword (including a greatsword) would be rather easy to parry, as the point of the parry would be to get the sharp edge the hell away from your body. A parry would apply a small perpendicular force; although it might not be enough to keep the blade from hitting, it might be enough to keep it from penetrating armor. In that case, then, the main point of the greatsword would be to keep opponents at distance, making it hard for them to similarly approach and do the same to you.<br/><br/>Now clubs, maces, and hammers, on the other hand, are clearly blunt kinetic objects. Unlike swords they are extremely unbalanced, with most of the weight focused at one end; this implies they were meant to be swung to build up great speed; the large mass on the end would then deliver a large amount of energy in a small amount of time. Although slow, a solid hit could probably incapacitate or kill an opponent, which makes them somewhat risky to use - you leave yourself open building up the motion, but if you connect, your opponent is probably going down. (Knives, daggers, and short swords probably act on a similar principle - they require you to get close (thus increasing your risk of injury), but a solid hit does deep tissue damage, which is likely to kill.)<br/><br/>Sorry, I couldn't sleep."

Hope she gets better soon.<br/><br/>On the sword discussion, that would be true if (larger) swords were actually as sharp as a good modern utility knife. A gladius, or really any sword derived from that, is indeed a stabbing weapon. Larger swords are not so much intended for that - their mass and balance is designed to make them impact weapons, rather than thrusting weapons (although in the latter middle ages and early renaissance, swords developed towards thin, sharp-pointed weapons again, so as to be able to take advantage of the plate boundaries and joints of plate armor."

""<br/><br/>Among the items he had earlier shown Yngvar was a picture of an athletic young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties.  Her name was Dagny Egilsdottir.  She wore the uniform of a student at Gram University of Technical Sciences, tan shorts, a white blouse, and a sky blue neckerchief held by a small silver clip bearing the school's crest.  It was her graduation day, and she proudly held the medallion she had been awarded for her completion of the university's demanding curriculum.  A year after graduation she had gone to Biter as a mining engineer, against the wishes of her grandfather.  He had explained the fates of her parents; her father had been a drifter of dubious charm, and her mother, never having shown any common sense, soon found herself with an infant, no husband, and without the necessary social esteem to ever get one.  Her grandfather had petitioned the courts to award him custody of the girl child, and they had readily agreed.  She went from being the consequence of her mother's flighty passion to the being the treasured protege of her grandfather Egil Olfinsson, Executive Director of Hauraan Industrial City.<br/><br/>The data stick Olfinsson had given Yngvar held his granddaughter's biometric data as well as all the information he had been able to gather about the situation on Biter.  The fleets of the Sword Worlds had fought bravely, but when the Zhodan front failed and their alien allies had deserted, there had been no choice but to accept the armistice the Empire offered.  The occupation of Biter had been brutal and swift, and only reports to reach Gram in a year had been fragmented and inconclusive.  The settlements had gone silent and Caladbolg's soldiers held the spaceport.  Freighters still came to Biter, large haulers bringing reinforcements and supplies for the occupation force and smaller merchant ships selling whatever they could to the those same soldiers.  Of interest to Director Olfinsson was that freighters large and small left Biter with holds full of ore and metals, which meant mines were operating.  If the mines had survived, then perhaps so had a mining engineer.<br/><br/>He had made clear the dangers of undertaking the task.  Biter was a hostile world, made all the more hostile by the arrogant malevolence of Caladbolg's soldiery.  An implacable courage ran thick in their veins, but their armies had suffered in three years of war.  Many thousands of them lay dead on Sting, the first of the Sword Worlds' fortress star systems, and thousands more had left only radiation flash shadows to mark their passing at the great invasion of Beater, crossroads of the Sword Worlds and the center of their fortress systems.  Biter's dangers were considerable now, and because of them he had retained the services of a mercenary he had become aware of through the channels he had cultivated.  She was not of the Sword Worlds.  Her name was Ren Moltinova, and she was an Earthwoman, a common enough breed on the Empire's Spinward frontier.  She would not arouse suspicion.  His sources said she had worked for the Confederation before, and that she had performed admirably.  She would guard Yngvar on his mission.<br/><br/>Their identification documents showed them to be residents of the Empire's frontier provinces.  Captain Bello had agreed to take them on as unskilled crewmembers who were working for their passage until they learned the skills of their trade.   He had received his own reward for his part, which was to get Yngwar and Ren to Biter and to provide them a means to return."

There was Pitr Gritchnayav, the pilot, who had learned to handle ships in the unforgiving asteroid belts of Glisten; Milensten Riichi was the ship's engineer, a man whose understanding of physics ran unerringly to the practical.  He had coaxed the most from the ship's drives under conditions which would cause other men to take up another calling in life.  He was also a gifted machinist who had fabricated many mechanical necessities when there otherwise would have been none.  Amalan Ekalstin was the astrogator.  He was a longtime merchant spaceman who had plotted courses for free traders in the Vargr Extents.  Things had gone bad somewhere out there among those alien kingdoms; he bore the scars of grievous injuries and a heavy silence.  Lastly, there was Inku Orance.  She was young woman, barely more than girl.  Captain Bello had brought her on board a few years ago somewhere in District 268.  Since then he had taught her the secrets of the culinary arts, of which he was a master.  He was a talented chef, and she was an apt pupil.  He also taught her what he knew of the rough and ready medicine practiced on independent merchant ships throughout Charted Space.<br/><br/>(More to come on Captain Bello's speech)"

Where would it be more secure, on his person, or in the box?<br/>After a brief hesitation, he shrugged and followed the initial plan he had made on the ship. There was plenty of time for creating those initial plans in the days and weeks of travel, and every option did carry a risk. He needed a shower now, though, after all the time on the ship.<br/>It didn't take him much time to put his belongings in the safe, all the while keeping the contents hidden with his body. After that, he closed it, and entrusted it to the house, while he went for the baths.<br/>While showering in the common baths - the goal was to get clean, not to keep intimacy - he pondered his next step. The question now was, whether it was time to hit the bars. If not, he'd have enough time to get some sleep, too. If not, he'd just consult the guide on their locations and prices. Both would be good indicators for what you can find there."

Terrorists - There are many factions in the Spinward Marches sector (Empire, Zhodan, Aslan, Sword Worlds, independent planets, megacorporations, etc.) and all of them have an agenda.  The PCs are highly trained secret agents in the service of one of these factions and they operate outside what little law there is.  This was the original concept: different, violent, with the only restraint being don't let anyone find out who is behind it.  The PCs would consistently be on the attack.<br/><br/>2. Investigators - agents of a faction focused on supporting the current political status quo.  They are not secret, but may be undercover for some missions.  They could be independent contractors or on a faction's payroll.<br/><br/>3. Independent contractors - The PCs are specialists in their field (security, technical, professional, etc) who are hired by an organization or faction for a particular mission which requires their skills.  This will have less of a theme, but the missions will eventually draw together into a larger story arc.<br/><br/>Also, the system I'm leaning toward using is NEMESIS/ORE with some tweaks. http://www.nemesis-system.com/downloads/nemesis/download.html (http://www.nemesis-system.com/downloads/nemesis/download.html)<br/>"

Terrorists/secret agents are a close, really close second, but then PC groups are almost always ""on the attack"" anyway, it just doesn't have to be a physical attack :P. Investigators are third, although not really distant from the first option.<br/>In short, I really can go with any of these. What the rest of the players think will be a factor in my final vote.<br/><br/>As for Nemesis tweaks, the first one I'm going to suggest is a change in a Martial arts effect. Either get the ""+2 Width for the purposes of determining initiative only"" down to +1, or remove it entirely. I vote for the reduction.<br/>Second, since ""Nanotech, cybertech, and biotech exist but manifest as improved industrial processes rather than paradigm-shifting consumer goods."", everybody could as well add ""Supernatural"", or at least ""Expert"" for free. That's about it for now.<br/>Well, that and maybe making Martial Arts a subskill of Brawl ;).<br/><br/>Now I'll read the wiki, and I'll come up with some questions. But I'm sure I'll ask ""how does economics work"", unless it's<em>already</em>on the wiki ;D!"

Her parents were successful enough - mother working in a currency exchange bank as an overseas account manager while the father taught archeology courses to students at a large college on the outskirts of the city she grew up in. Between these two, Sanura's upbringing was fair, but definitely comfortable. Both of her parents had embraced the mind set of the states wholeheartedly, teaching of their former culture to Sanura, but not forcing it upon her. She grew into a healthy, active child in a neighborhood that boasted a better compliment of boys her age than girls. Perhaps this is why she was always something of a tomboy, even after she began to show signs of blossoming into a distinguished young woman. Living in comfort did not decrease her sense of job values, though it did help to ensure a very promising college education in her field of choice and allowed her to finish high school without having to pack around a forty-hour a week job except during the summer months for extra spending money. Upon graduating, she had already decided to go in to Computer science, with a side study in electronics. Between her parents’ funds for her education, and heavy discounts for her father's job at the university available to her, the young woman had only to pay for living expenses. In this, she choose a small, ground floor flat near the college offering discounts for students, covering the rest of the expenses with a part-time job at the local Best buy.<br/><br/>Character description<br/>Sanura is a rather short female, standing only 5'1"", with a petite but athletic build.  Her skin is a healthy Egyptian tone, her beautiful face topped by a nimbus of shoulder-length black hair and set with a pair of rich blue eyes.<br/><br/>Her clothing style can best be described as that of an updated ‘50’s bad boy with hip hugging low-rider jeans which allow the band of her black thong to peek through and a simple white midriff tee graces her chest. Of course you can not forget the piece de resistance the monogrammed black leather jacket. This in her case is a picture of Nefertiti riding a Harley fat boy with the phrase ‘Every Queen needs a legend’."

(I will detail after I’ve actually made the character, and will provide a bit of background story for each one.)   And that was that,  nothing more was said about her responsibilities or even about the other gods.  The two drank most of the night away, and she woke up in her bedroom the next day.<br/><br/>Since then,  the young woman has been trying to use her newfound powers for good… for the most part.  She’ll still pick a wealthy man’s pocket on occasion,  or grab something from a store that she simply doesn’t want to pay for.  She’s been practicing  her fighting style…  eschewing her typical brawling style and began to learn the Monkey style’s of Kung fu, perhaps as a way of paying her father homage.<br/><br/>Though,  fate seems to have bigger plans for the girl…  who knows what sort of adventure she’ll soon find herself in.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Name:     Qiaolian Shen<br/>Calling:  Rough and tumble party girl<br/>Pantheon:  Celestial Beuracacy<br/>God:       Monkey King<br/>Nature:    Libertine<br/><br/>Str:   4   3<br/>Dex:   4  3<br/>Sta:   4   2<br/><br/>Cha:  3  1<br/>Man:  3<br/>App:  3  1<br/><br/>Per: 3<br/>Int: 2<br/>Wit: 2<br/><br/>Academics:  2<br/>Animal Ken: 2<br/>Art:<br/>Athletics:  3<br/>Awareness:  2<br/>Brawl:      3<br/>Command<br/>Control:<br/>Craft:<br/>Empathy     2<br/>Fortitude   3<br/>Integrity:  1<br/>Investigation:<br/>Larceny:    3<br/>Markmanship:<br/>Medicine:<br/>Melee:<br/>Occult:     2<br/>Politics:<br/>Presence:   3<br/>Science:<br/>Stealth:    2<br/>Survival:   2<br/>Thrown:<br/><br/>Birthrights<br/>Stone Egg Shard-  A shard of the egg the money king hatched from, fashion into a crude stone worn in a jade ring fashioned by the monkey king himself.  (3 points, provide War, Earth, animal)<br/><br/>Flame skinned glove-   Supposedly made from the tanned hide of a fire giant.

name, it's something the bureaucrats made up and stuck on his file]<br/>Calling   : Paladin [Please do not think in D&D terms]<br/>Nature    : Fanatic<br/>Pantheon  : Atzlanti<br/>God       : Tezcatlipoca<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>BACKGROUND<br/>Visitation:<br/>Underneath a bench in an out-of-the-way corner of Puerto Vallarta lay the sleeping, emaciated body of a male Mexican teenager.  While he slept, he dreamed.<br/>In his dream, a sun hotter than any he'd ever felt beat down on his back as he climbed a series of stone steps.  It was a real struggle, because the steps were so steep and shallow.  There was something else, too...  Each time one of his bare feet landed, there was a squelch and a smell.  The steps were slick.  As he climbed, he slowly realized why.  They were covered, caked, with layers of partly-dried blood.  He hadn't realized it at first because there was so much of the stuff, but that was definitely what it was.  The smell suddenly seemed sickening.<br/>Up to this point he'd kept his eyes on his feet because of the treacherous footing, but now he lifted them and cast about for something else to look at.  Up ahead was a long line of steps with the blood growing ever deeper.  To either side was endless jungle-- thick and green, the kind of jungle where you met man-eating snakes and spiders that ate cats and dogs.  Directly overhead was the sun, blisteringly hot and unforgettable even for a moment.  Down below was the base of the temple, which seemed to sprout out of the forest.  The steps ended in a trembling mass of black and orange and yellow.  Trying to decide what it exactly it was occupied him for some time, and before he knew it the top of the pyramid came into view.<br/>It was unassuming in the extreme.  Three figures stood on a flat stone platform about the size of two kitchen tables.  In the exact middle of the platform was a stone block about the size of a hospital bed.  The two figures nearest the top of the stairs were dark-skinned and faceless.  Each held a crude wooden scoop, and they took it in turns to try to clean blood off of the platform, flinging it into the jungle below.  At the rate they were going, it would take them days just to clear the entire platform, let alone any of the steps.  The climber almost felt sorry for them.<br/>There was a bright, flickering, darkening light radiating from the stone block-- slowly it resolved into a burning mass of pulpy flesh.<br/>And behind the stone block stood god.  As soon as his eyes fell fully on him, the climber knew.  It was the same blind, absolute realization that early men felt when they looked at the sun.  This was god.<br/>God had an oversized knife made from black, glinting stone.  He looked like a great jungle cat, crouching even when he stood fully erect.  God's eyes locked with the climber's.  He did not beckon; the climber would arrive soon enough.<br/>Finally he stood at the top of the pyramid, facing god.  He leaned forward, feeling the heat of the burning pile.  The two faceless shovel-bearers paused in their work and he felt their hands on his back.  God swung the obsidian knife into his chest, opening a massive wound and shearing through rips as if they were dried spaghetti.  Rich tomato paste erupted out of the wound, and god's other hand reached into his chest to pull out his heart.  Hearts.  That was what was at the highest point of the pyramid.  As his heart dropped onto the pile and his vision darkened, the Scion smiled and relaxed back into the arms of the men behind him.<br/>As flames rose around his heart, god gestured with a bloodstained hand and his fading consciousness lingered.<br/>The flames struggled to ignite the warm, damp heart.  His smile lingered.  God spoke, his eyes like those of a cat toying with a mouse.  ""Do you know who I am?""<br/>""God.""<br/>A deep laugh seemed to echo from the jungle.  ""Of a quarter of the entire world, which I made and fought for with my own hands!  But there are few enough who know it.""  He made an angry slashing gesture with the knife.  The new heart sizzled, adding its aroma to the heavy air at the pyramid's peak.  ""Few enough...""  God seemed to shrink inwards.  Then he looked at the boy's body, suspended on the edge of death.  ""Do you know who you are?""<br/>Still smiling, ""No.""<br/>God picked the still-burning heart up off the altar and shoved it back into its owner's chest.  ""You are my son.""<br/>As the climber woke up, banging his head against the bench, it felt like every vein in his body was on fire.  But his screams were suppressed by the blood that filled his mouth.<br/><br/>So, he was living on the streets in Mexico (quite an achievement, by the way) before his divine father found him (mother unknown).  Now he worships his father, believes a quarter of the world is his by right (the old legend of the Four Tezcatlipocas), that sort of thing.  The exact reasons for this are touched on in the visitation, but the basic premise is that he thinks about his parent exponentially more than his parent thinks about him.<br/>He's not deranged, and he doesn't even have ""fanatical lights in his eyes.""  In fact, he can be quite charismatic.  And since a large portion of the world belongs to his father, he dutifully tries to preserve it.  But he views the world in terms of ""Tezcatlipoca first, everything else second.""  So basically the kind of person who would leap in front of a bus to save a kitten, but then rip that kitten's heart out with his bare hands and burn it on an altar if he felt his father wanted it.<br/><br/>Now we come to the tricky part.  For whatever reason (lots of rationalizing here) his father has not seen fit to provide much guidance or training.  So he decided to learn by experimenting.  Since his powers involve manipulating the very threads of Fate, these were some colorful experiments.  After a great deal of drama, celestial authorities eventually gave him the choice of leaving the country or a fate that would make traditionalist Aztec priests recoil in horror.<br/>It was lifetime imprisonment in Mexico.  What did you THINK I meant?  Regardless, he chose to travel to America.  He needed to learn, to become more useful, you know the drill.  And he'd done about as much as he could Puerto Vallarata...<br/><br/>Rule #1 of being a Scion:  Don't antagonize

(str)<br/>The Scion is especially good at breaking inanimate objects. When he spends a point of Legend and applies his full might to breaking something, whether he’s punching it, kicking it or throwing his shoulder against it, the item’s Hardness is halved against the attack. This bonus applies only when the character attempts to break an inanimate object that is either freestanding or under his control. If someone else has control of the object in question, the Scion must take it from him first.<br/><br/>Armor Crusher (str)<br/>Prerequisite Knack: Holy Rampage (Scion: Hero, p. 126)<br/>The raw power of the Scion’s attacks now allows him not only to break through obstacles and walls, but to slam right through armor. The Scion simply channels his legendary might, then uses brute force to shatter enemy defenses and tear through shields, armored plates and vests with ease. While this Knack is active, the Scion’s melee attacks all gain the Piercing quality. Activating this Knack costs five points of Legend. Its effects last for one scene.<br/><br/>Lightning Sprinter (dex)<br/>The Scion is a lightning bolt on two legs, zooming past in a blur, trailing leaves or grit or loose debris from the ground he’s already covered. This Knack doubles<br/>the amount of distance he can cover in a Dash action, after calculating the new Dash distance based on his Epic Dexterity. What’s more, it negates the movement penalties a character should accrue for dashing through water or mud that is from between ankle- to shoulder-height in depth as long as A.) the character began his Dash action on terrain with no such penalty, and B.) the character continues to perform consecutive Dash actions. As long as he keeps dashing, his feet skim the surface of the water or muck like a skipping stone. If he should slow down or stop, however, he sinks into the sucking terrain to suffer the normal penalties.<br/>Activating this Knack costs one point of Legend.<br/><br/>Untouchable Opponent (dex)<br/>The Scion might as well be a ghost for all her enemies can lay a hand or a weapon on her. The Scion doubles the benefit that her Epic Dexterity dots add to her Dodge DV. She also ignores an amount of DV penalties due to unstable terrain equal to her Epic Dexterity dots. Only the normal Epic Dexterity bonus applies to the character’s Parry DV, though, and this Knack’s bonus to Dodge DV doesn’t apply if the character is merely hiding behind cover or tucked in behind a scutum like a lowly turtle. Only if the character is physically dodging the attacks that are coming her way does this Knack help her out.<br/>Activating this Knack costs one point of Legend. Its effects last for one scene.<br/><br/>Self Healing (sta)<br/>The Scion’s player spends a point of Legend to repair a single level of damage. That damage can be bashing or lethal, and the healing takes place in an instant without leaving a scar. (Aggravated damage is beyond the power of this Knack to heal.) Scions who are interested in building their reputation and spreading their legends quickly find this Knack to be one of the more effective tools of doing so, as bruises, lacerations and bullet holes vanish before astonished onlookers’ eyes.<br/><br/>Regeneration (sta)<br/>Prerequisite Knack: Self-Healing (Scion: Hero, p. 129)<br/>Regeneration repairs the severe damage that’s too serious for its prerequisite Knack to heal. For a point of Legend, the Scion can automatically heal a single<br/>level of aggravated damage. With this Knack, he can also perform such miraculous feats as regenerating a destroyed limb, extremity or eye. Doing so costs one Legend point per body part so restored.<br/><br/>Charmer (cha)<br/>With the sheer, raw charm this Knack represents, the Scion can smother an upwelling of panic, suspicion or utter hatred directed at her for one scene. The player need only spend a point of Legend. One scene is usually long enough to convince a person that it would be in his best interest to help the character, but it’s up to the Scion (and the player’s roleplaying) to actually say the right words. During the scene in which this Knack is in effect, the suppressed emotion doesn’t go away. It merely remains beneath the surface. If the Scion can’t set the person’s mind at ease by scene’s end, the suppressed<br/>emotion returns in full force the next time the Scion leaves the affected person’s presence.<br/><br/>Psychic Profiler (wit)<br/>Within seconds, the character with this Knack can size up a character with a lesser Legend rating than his own. Just by looking at the person, he can tell<br/>her weight, height, age, sex (if it’s unclear to casual inspection) and whether she has a divine heritage or not. With just a few lines of conversation, he can also<br/>tell the subject’s Nature, calling and primary Virtue (if any). Finally, if the subject is Fatebound to someone and is acting out a Fatebound Role, he can figure out what that role is. He might not know to whom it applies, but he can probably figure it out from context if he watches the person long enough.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>BOONS/SPELLS<br/>Purview<br/>-<br/>Cost: -L, -Wp    Pool: +     Duration:<br/>Details<br/><br/>Darkness<br/>Night Eyes (*)<br/>Cost: None    Pool: None     Duration: Permanent<br/>Details: Darkness no longer inflicts visibility penalties on the character. He can see in pitch-blackness almost as well as he can see in bright sunlight, losing only the ability to perceive colors. (Objects he sees in darkness are black-on-black yet perfectly distinguishable in a way that’s conveniently impossible to describe to someone who doesn't have this Boon.) The Scion cannot see through physical impediments, however.<br/><br/>Itztli (*)<br/>Maguey Sting<br/>Cost: 1 Lethal Health level    Pool: None     Duration: Instant<br/>By piercing her flesh with a maguey thorn, an obsidian blade, a surgical scalpel or even just a rusty straight pin, the Scion sheds a portion of her blood.  This blood serves as a token offering to her divine parent, who rewards her with a single point of Legend. The Scion may perform this sacrifice only once per day.<br/><br/>Blessing--<br/>POCO A POCO<br/>(ITZTLI ••••• •)<br/>Dice Pool: None<br/>Cost: 1 aggravated health level per 5 (or 6) Legend<br/>The Scion performs a substantial sacrifice and receives a greater reward of Legend points for it. To do so, she removes an irreplaceable part of a victim’s body<br/>and burns it in a ritual dedicated to her divine parent or the Atzlánti in general. Each part she removes inflicts one level of aggravated damage and earns for the Scion five Legend points. As a general guideline, each hand and foot is worth one aggravated health level. Each arm from shoulder to wrist and each leg from hip to ankle is worth another aggravated health level. Each eye is worth an aggravated health level, as is the tongue. The male genitalia are worth an aggravated health level, as is the removal of a female’s ovaries and uterus (in toto, not individually).<br/>The pitiful body that’s left over after all those parts are removed is no longer suitable for sacrifices in the name of this Boon. It can still be killed and sacrificed in the name of Obsidian Excruciation, though.<br/>The Scion may take the body part that is to be sacrificed from a mortal, titanspawn or Scion victim, or she may remove the part from her own body. (Sacrificing from one’s own body nets six Legend points per aggravated health level. It also becomes increasingly difficult the more you do it.) The catch is that the Scion must remove and burn the body part herself, and the subject from whom she removes it must be alive at the time. The Scion can remove and store the body parts she wishes to sacrifice, but if the victim should die before she manages to go through with the act, burning the body parts does nothing for her beyond making room in the freezer.<br/><br/>Magic (**)<br/>ARIADNE'S THREAD<br/>Cost: 1 Legend per use<br/>Dice Pool: Perception + Survival<br/>The caster declares a target (a person, place or thing) and can thenceforth unerringly track where that target has gone by following the perturbations he leaves in the threads of Fate. If the target is a place, the caster can always find his way back there, no matter how disoriented or lost he has become. This spell’s effect lasts for one day per success rolled, but it can be increased on a daily basis by spending one Legend point.<br/><br/>LEGENDARY SURGE<br/>Cost: 1+ Legend per use<br/>Dice Pool: Wits + Empathy<br/>By using a thread of Fate as a conduit, the magician gifts a target with some of his own Legendary energy. For each success scored on the activation roll, the caster can transfer one point of his Legend to the subject. Casting the spell consumes 1 Legend point, and the caster can then send over any amount of Legend, up to the limit of his own remaining pool. The subject doesn’t have to be willing, but excess Legend points (any that would go over the subject’s maximum) are lost.<br/><br/>Favored:<br/>Animal (Jaguar)<br/>Darkness<br/>Itztli<br/>Magic<br/>Moon<br/>Mystery<br/>Prophecy<br/>Sun<br/>War<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>EXPERIENCE<br/>Total: 10                                        Total Spent: 0<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>BIRTHRIGHTS<br/>Name (**)<br/>Description<br/>[in-game effect]<br/><br/>Altar Flame (****)<br/>When Tezcatlipoca first came, it was in a dream that was not a dream.  The god stood before a bloodstained sacrifical altar with a pile of burning hearts on it.  He added Rubin's heart to the pile.  But then the capricious god returned the heart to its proper place, still aflame, and Rubin woke up screaming.<br/>[Emulates Blazing Weapon]<br/><br/>Burning Blood (***)<br/>Ever since his encounter with Tezcatlipoca, Rubin has experienced periodic bouts of severe pain, ""as if his blood were on fire.""  While the blood in his veins appears quite normal to New Scion physicians (or at least normal for a Scion), it is a fact that Rubin's apparently A positive blood can accept a transfusion from any source, and is violently rejected by anyone it is administered to.  The seizures began at roughly the same time as some of his divine powers manifested.<br/>[Accesses Darkness and Moon purviews, emulates Fire Immunity]<br/><br/>Sharpening Stone (***)<br/>A tattoo in his right palm that looks like a childish drawing of a whetstone with an ancient Aztec character meaning ""sharp.""<br/>[Emulates The Helpful Spirit]<br/><br/>Magic Amulet (*)<br/>A cliche, yes.  It was mailed to him in a wooden box with no return address.  It's a small silver disk on a strange chain, hand-etched with the image of a jaguar eating a woman at her loom.  In graphic detail.  Apparently Yaotl felt confrontational, what a shock.  His Scion wears it under his clothes, next to his skin.<br/>[Accesses Magic purview]<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>EQUIPMENT OF NOTE<br/>Bulletproof Vest [standard-issue]<br/>Box of Matches [big wooden ones that can be lit even if you've just hiked through a downpour]<br/>""Modern Macana"" [It appears to be chipped from obsidian, but is made from an experimental material that shares properties with both glass and plastic.  Uses the Spathi template]<br/><br/>VEHICLE<br/>Type<br/>Armour: -   Mass: -   Man.: -   Health Levels: -<br/><br/>"

I'm be playing Jack O'Neill, rock star and son of Lugh.<br/><br/><br/>Growing up in a single parent household, Jack O'Neill was always driven to excel, to succeed, to prove himself the best at whatever he did. Initially this was by his mother, who told him (repeatedly) of how she never got the chances he did, and pushed him through all his formative years.<br/><br/>When he hit his teens, Jack, as many children do, rebelled against the parental authority. For about two years, his grades dropped from excellent down to average, arguements were common, and he took up playing lead guitar in a band with some friends. Not entirely to his surprise, he found he was actually pretty decent at it, and it was the love of music that brought him around again .. not to do well because his mother demanded it, but to excell because he wanted to .. to prove to himself that he could do whatever he set his mind to.<br/><br/>Within another year, his grades had improved to a degree .. not as good as before, but that was because he found something that appealed much more .. football. By his senior year, he was captain of the football team, leading them to their first state level victory in 25 years.<br/><br/>His band had also gone from strength to strength. When school finished, he defered college for a year to concentrate on his music, much to his mothers annoyance. When they won the local Battle of the Bands, she had to grudgingly conceed that he was actually pretty good. It was then she let slip a comment about inheriting his fathers musical talent.<br/><br/>Three years later, Jack still hadn't gotten to college, but Imbas (the name the band eventually settled on) was going strong, their second album just making it into the top 20, being compared favorably to early AC/DC.<br/><br/>It was while playing the Slainne festival that Jack finally met his father. Jack initially didn't want to believe the story the man was spinning, but the monsters that rode in on a storm did lend a certain credence to it.<br/><br/>Since then, Jack has continued to tour with Imbas, using their tours to move around and help stamp out titanspawn activity where and when he can. The band has just finished up a four month tour, and are presently taking some time off before deciding what they're going to do next, leaving Jack free to devote a bit more of his time to helping his Father.<br/><br/><br/>Name      : Jack O'Neill<br/>Hometown  : Boston<br/>Pantheon  : Tuatha<br/>Deity     : Lugh<br/>Calling   : Rock Star<br/>Nature    : Competitor<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>ATTRIBUTES<br/>[X] = favored<br/><br/>[ ]Strength : 2 (1)      [X]Charisma    : 5 (1)      [ ]Perception  : 3 (1)<br/>[X]Dexterity: 3 (1)      [ ]Manipulation: 2 (1)      [ ]Intelligence: 3 (1)<br/>[ ]Stamina  : 2 (1)      [ ]Appearance  : 4 (1)      [X]Wits        : 3 (1)<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>ABILITIES<br/>[X] = favored<br/><br/>[ ]Academics     : 2<br/>[X]Art               : 3 Music<br/>[X]Athletics     : 3<br/>[ ]Awareness     : 2<br/>[ ]Brawl         : 1<br/>[ ]Command       : 1<br/>[ ]Control<br/>: 1 Car<br/>: 1 Aircraft<br/>[ ]Empathy       : 2<br/>[ ]Fortitude     : 2<br/>[X]Integrity     : 2<br/>[ ]Investigation : 1<br/>[ ]Marksmanship  : 1<br/>[ ]Medicine      : 1<br/>[X]Melee         : 1<br/>[X]Occult        : 1<br/>[ ]Presence      : 3<br/>[ ]Stealth       : 1<br/>[X]Thrown        : 1<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Willpower: 6 / 6<br/>Legend: 3<br/>Legend Points: 9 / 9<br/><br/>Virtues<br/>Name: Courage    - 2<br/>Name: Expression - 3<br/>Name: Intellect  - 3<br/>Name: Piety      - 1<br/><br/><br/>Dodge DV: -<br/>Parry DV: -<br/>Join Battle: -<br/>Soak: -B/-L/-A (-B/-L/-A natural, -B/-L/-A armor)<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>WEAPONS<br/>(melee)<br/>Speed: -      Accuracy: +       Damage: + L      Defense: +<br/>Tags -<br/><br/>(ranged)<br/>Speed: -      Accuracy: +       Damage: + L      Range: ---      Clip: --<br/>Tags -<br/><br/><br/>ARMOR<br/><br/>Soak: + B/+ L/+ A     Mobility: -0     Fatigue: -<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>HEALTH LEVELS<br/><br/>-0 (Bruised) : [ ]<br/>-1 (Hurt)    : [ ]<br/>[ ]<br/>-2 (Wounded) : [ ]<br/>[ ]<br/>-4 (Crippled): [ ]<br/>Incapacitated: [ ]<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>KNACKS<br/>Epic Strength 1 - Holy Bound<br/>Epic Dex 1 - Untouchable Opponent<br/>Epic Stamina 1 - Damage conversion<br/>Epic Charisma 1 - Inspirational Figure<br/>Epic Manipulation 1 - Takes One to Know One<br/>Epic Appearance 1 - Lasting Impression<br/>Epic Perception 1 - Broad Spectrum Recognition<br/>Epic Intelligence 1 - Know it all<br/>Epic Wits 1 - Social Chameleon<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>BOONS/SPELLS<br/><br/>Unlidded Eye (Magic 1)<br/>Skys Grace (Sky 1)<br/>Blessing of Bravery (War 1)<br/>Brehons Eye - (Enech 1)<br/>Hero's Geas (Enech 2)<br/><br/>Legendary Geas - Kings<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>BIRTHRIGHTS ( 4 BP)<br/>Name (•••••)<br/>Description - Gae Bolga (as Companion P30, + adds Legend dice to dex/melee, and can change shape)<br/><br/>Silver ring (••)<br/>Access to Magic and Sky purviews"

The fellowship has an established trade ""network"" with the town 30 miles to the north of Hommlet; along with any resources at its disposal.  This allows you access to goods up to 40,000 gp in value and most requests can be fulfilled within 5 days (that's half a Faerunian tenday or week).  Depending on what you need, for the most part this established network also provides you with a 10-15% discount from the market value of any item.  Not all items are guaranteed to be available readily nor guaranteed to be accessible necessarily when you may need them.  If you do need something say within a day or even within say like an hour, and the fellowship can obtain said item or service for you, an additional fee will be charged depending on the request and how soon you need it.<br/><br/>2.  The coin purse provided to you by Sil'danar provides you with 200 gp per week or 600 gp per 30 days. (3 tendays = 1 month).  If split evenly amongst the four of you that's 150 gp per month.  If you do find and obtain either a black star sapphire or a blue diamond; I'll give you the new figures for how those work with the purse.<br/><br/>3.  The secondary power of the coin purse, allows you submit expenses such as inn stays, possibly even asking for compensation cause you had to buy some guy a few drinks to get needed information to complete your quest, etc.  But will not necessarily cover the cost of potions, items, scrolls, item repairs, rare spell components, etc; although you are free to put such requests in and they will be reviewed on a case by case basis."

One day, when he was sixteen, the spirit of a demon attacked his hometown, causing massive destruction.  Try as they might, the townspeople were unable to defeat the demon.  The best they could accomplish was to weaken the demon enough to seal it in something, which the only viable receptacle was Joe himself.  He succeeded in sealing the demon within himself, but not in suppressing the demon, meaning that it could still take control from time to time. In light of this, the town thanked him for his help, but were forced to banish him, lest the demon take over and cause more havoc.<br/>His travels took him all over his world, yet something was missing. He couldn't quite place it, but he wanted to make some kind of difference in the universe. That's when he heard about Orpheus, and he decided to join up and help keep crime down.  Since joining, he's made a bit of a name for himself, yet there is much for him to learn still.<br/><br/>Body:   5<br/>Mind :  5<br/>Soul:   9<br/><br/>Heath Points (Body+Soul)(x5):<strong>70 + 5(tough)</strong><br/>Energy Points (Mind +Soul)(x5):<strong>70 + 5 (energy bonus)</strong><br/>Shock Value (Health Points/5):<strong>15</strong><br/>Combat Value: (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3):<strong>6</strong><br/>Attack Combat Value: (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3)<strong>6</strong><br/>Defense Combat Value: (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3)<strong>6</strong><br/><br/><br/>Unused Advancement Points: 7 (3 demon)<br/>Total Advancement Points: 354 used 358 total<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>Attribute/Skill</td><td>Level</td><td>Point cost</td><td>Notes</td></tr><tr><td>Alternate Form</td><td>3</td><td>9/rank(27)</td><td> When the demon within takes over, he gains wings, and a bladed tail</td></tr><tr><td>Combat Technique: Two Weapon Fighting</td><td>1</td><td>2/r(2)</td><td>reduces penalties for duel wielding.</td></tr><tr><td>Combat Technique: Blind Fighting</td><td>1</td><td>2/r(2)</td><td> character does not suffer normal penalties for fighting in low visibility or invisible foes</td></tr><tr><td>Combat Technique: Blind Shooting</td><td>1</td><td>2/r(2)</td><td> penalties for fighting in low visibility or against invisible opponents reduced by one grade while fighting in ranged combat.</td></tr><tr><td>Companion</td><td>1</td><td>25(350 AP companion)</td><td>Joe received authorization to tinker with and modify a Combat Model Vickie, which he named Tomo.</td></tr><tr><td>Damn Healthy!</td><td>1</td><td>2/r(2)</td><td>lifepoints +5 per level of ""Tough!"".

She was gifted by the mystical tatoo and trained hard during all her childhood, being taught all the available physicals disciplines to make her stronger, tougher and mighier, so she could participate in the most important sportive event of her world. A competition held to determine who will bear the first child of the actual ""Kreyshunisyl"" (Lord of the fishes, the ruler of the archipelago) and thus giving life to his successor.<br/>Shayan liked the idea and was proud to be the island's representant. However... during a trip to pay a respectful visit to the Lord, the man said he found the girl too ugly for his tastes and wanted her to not participate. Unable to fulfill her destiny, she was lost... spending the night in a nearby port, her life changed when, out of curiousity, she asked a shaggy man what was in his basket.<br/>Little did she know he was a smuggler, with a bunch of thermal grenades to sell. He immediately tried to run away, but not aware of the woman's physical superiority, ha was soon stopped and interrogated. Shayan, unable to understand what were those strange metallic eggs, manipulated these carelessly. Scared of the consequence, the smuggler asked her to takes those and leaves him alone, what she did.<br/>Having no need of these, she tried to sell these, which quickly got the attention of a Orpheus agent. After some explanations and a quick job interview, she became a local agent of the organization, before finally being recruited recently as an active member.<br/><strong>Her world</strong>:<br/>Nakrey is 92 % ocean, has a slighty higher gravity than Earth and much longer light day cycles. Most of the emerged lands comes from arhipelagoes and small island, the largest being about 250 km long. There are large submerged plateau with a depth never ranging below 150m, remains from before the cataclysm that flooded these continents: a massive comet (the size of a small moon) landed 20 millions years ago, raising the water level dramatically. Since then animals and plants had to adapt, as did the Nakreians.<br/>Buildind a tribal society, the Nakreians live from what they find in nature. the lack of exploitable ressources hinder any attempt of progress, blocking the society in traditions and a state of simplicity.<br/>Because of this, many uses this world as they see fit, taking slaves, practicing illegal commerces, importing forbidden technologies... unable to defend itseff, Nakrey is soon to become a place of scum and villainy, as they exist in other worlds.<br/><br/>Quotes:<br/>""I won't stay without working a way out, even if it mean wrestling with time itself!"" - Shayan<br/>""Champion of a water world.

the reader can doubt guess what they intended next.  His scarred and tattooed body was taken in for treatment at the nearest hospital, courtesy of the state.  The men who almost murdered him refused to acknowledge their guilt—apparently theirs is a system that considers all magic and the users of same to be evil.<br/>So much for the official story.  There’s a lot more to it, obviously.  But the most important point is that the part of the ritual that was completed…  succeeded.<br/><br/>[These are all for Jude.  The Sins…  Between them, they have pretty much every Kink imaginable, and no limits to speak of.  Individual Sins have preferences, though, even Lust.]<br/>Sexual Preference: Heterosexual<br/>Sexual Limits: Depends on how strong a hold Lust has; he was something of a deviant for his hometown, but now he lives in an entirely different world.<br/>Kinks: Multiple partners and bestiality.  But really, in this age of talking dogs and sentient photons, how can you tell the difference between bestiality and normal sex?<br/><br/><br/>Body: 4<br/>Mind: 4<br/>Soul: 4<br/><br/>Heath Points (Body+Soul)(*5): 40<br/>Energy Points (Mind +Soul)(*5): 40<br/>Shock Value (Health Points/5): 8<br/>Combat Value (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 4<br/>Attack Combat Value (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 1<br/>Defense Combat Value (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 4<br/><br/>Unused Advancement Points: 5<br/>Total Advancement Points: 355 (not including Defects)<br/><br/><strong>Attribute/Skill</strong>[Level]    (Point cost)<em>Notes (Consult to me if you want a skill)</em><br/><br/><strong>Cultural Arts: History (Skill)</strong>[2] (2)<em>What, you thought he’d only read books about magic? </em><br/><br/><strong>Teleport</strong>[1] (12)<em>10 meter range, unknown destinations permitted</em><br/><br/><strong>Companion</strong>[7@ level 1] (184)<em>The Seven Deadly Sins are built using the Companion rules with a few unusual adjustments.  Their sheets are not here, partly because it’s more fun that way and partly because I myself don’t know everything that’s on them.</em><br/><strong>Pride</strong><br/><em>Pride is a blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian human male with regular features, a flawless body, and a slight frown.  He’s a normal human being, or at least he was.  No superpowers, no secret alien technology, just a mind and body honed with centuries of time.  He’s a flawless tactician, a world-class chef, a private investigator to rival Sherlock Holmes and Mycroft put together…  The list goes on and on.  And he made himself that way.  If he can do it, why can’t you?<br/>Most people would expect Pride to constantly say “I’m the best” or similar.  And it’s true that he considers himself an expert at everything.  But this isn’t arrogance.  Rather, it’s the unflinching belief in perfection.  He doesn’t accept failure.  From anyone, even himself.  For any reason, including divine intervention.  Even if you find yourself in a completely untenable situation, that’s just proof that you should have done something different earlier in your life.</em><br/><strong>Lust</strong><br/><em>Lust has many forms.  In the space of a breath, he/she/it can change to resemble a person’s deepest, darkest desires.  And in Lust’s presence, to gratify those desires people will do anything.  Or anyone.  Even a monster like Lust.<br/>Lust is the physical incarnation of carnal passion.  Not the incarnation of arousal, or romance, or any of the other foolishness people associate with lust, but the incarnation of desire itself, and the primary source of it.  Its form changes like water, appealing to every urge and hunger known to man.  And woman.  He always has admirers nearby, and can generate more if needed.  Lust is far removed from humanity; she’s almost a force of nature.</em><br/><strong>Greed</strong><br/><em>Greed’s overall appearance is actually a pretty close match to Jude’s, or at least what Jude looked like before the ‘incident.’  His hair is black, his features fairly anonymous.  His eyes are green.  His build is that of a nineteen-year-old, but one look into those eyes and you know the truth.<br/>Greed is a grasping being who believes in keeping things to himself.  He collects and saves.  Don’t view him as trying to gather up everything—that’s gluttony.  Greed is actually quite discerning, even picky.  His catchphrase is NOT “hands off”—it’s “touch that and I’ll take your hands off.”  His desire to claim something or someone as his own is a potent physical force that can have dramatic effects on his surroundings—pick his pocket and you might be struck by lightning.  He’s a firm believer in private property, and he considers thieves to be the worst of demons.  But he’s been known to claim squatter’s rights on occasion, especially if the current owner of something he wants isn’t willing to sell.  His net worth is vast, almost immeasurable, but it functions as a much smaller amount of money since he’s unwilling to sell anything and has to pay so much for upkeep.  Still, even the interest on some things is…</em><br/><strong>Envy</strong><br/><em>Envy is a rather mousy-looking young woman with thick glasses, a mild stutter, and a subpar mind.  Often, people don’t even realize she’s there at all.  She just wanders around, trying to emulate the best of everyone in her own special way...  What could be wrong with that?<br/>The specter of Envy has a lot to be envious of—most of the known world, in fact.  It constantly mutters about those that are better than it. – “Two miles northeast there’s a person who plays Shogi better than I do.  On the floor below us there’s a man who knows more ornithology than I do.  There’s someone smarter than I am in this body.  The person next to us is a faster runner than I am.  Right around the corner up ahead are five people who are better at swordfighting than I am…”  Generally Jude will ‘tune in’ on Envy’s mutterings to pick up useful information like the last comment, but no one enjoys listening to her self-centered monologue.  When she’s not muttering about how much better everyone else is, Envy is snatching at the capacities of others, replicating them in her own body.  But such things never last, and no matter who she drains Envy still feels inadequate and wants more.</em><br/><strong>Gluttony</strong><br/><em>A frail, pale figure of a man with sunken eyes.  His head has no hair of any kind—no eyebrows, scalp hair, nothing.  It also has no mouth; below his small nose is an unbroken expanse of skin leading to his chin.  Oddly enough, many people’s first reaction to Gluttony is “He doesn’t eat very well.”<br/>The essence of the Devourer, Gluttony’s incarnation is a kind of void, a barely-sentient being that constantly tries to consume.  The other Sins can keep it in check, but once Gluttony starts munching, only basic self-preservation interferes with its desires.  There’s some concern that it would actually eat the wall of a spaceship in flight; so far it hasn’t gone that far.</em><br/><strong>Acedia</strong><br/><em>Acedia is the personification of the word “languid.”  Her eyes are almost always half-shut, and they seem to shift through shades of blue, black, and green in a relaxing way.   Her hair is reddish-brown.  Among the Sins, she talks the least and listens the most.  In anyone else, that’d make you suspect intelligence…<br/>Acedia, whose name modern writers have misrepresented as “Sloth,” is the incarnation of passivity and tolerance.  Her name comes from the same root as “accede.”  She doesn’t do much; no one’s ever seen what her abilities are.  Some suspect she doesn’t know herself.</em><br/><strong>Wrath</strong><br/><em>Wrath has decidedly red hair.  His eyes are constantly wide and bloodshot; his skin is always laced with lines of tensing muscle, and his hands and arms sport raised razors of bone in even his most relaxed state.  That’s him at his best—almost human.  When he really gets going, though, he’s like something out of a nightmare.<br/>Anger is not a Deadly Sin, not even a normal sin.  Wrath, though, is one of the first sins to ever exist.  While it may be impossible to satisfy Lust, Greed, Pride, or Envy…  Wrath is on an entirely different level.  The more you feed it, the hotter the fire burns.  Acedia doesn’t want much of anything, Gluttony wants to eat everything, Pride and Envy want to surpass everything, Lust wants…  Well, let’s try not to have an X-rated character sheet, shall we?  But Lust’s desire also involves everything.  Wrath, though…  Wrath just destroys.  Even a little provocation turns him into a ravening monster.</em><br/><br/><strong>Occult: Banishing (Skill)</strong>[10] (30)<em>The host knows more about the magical arts than he ever wanted to.  He used to be a decent mage, at the level where people would want to learn from him and perhaps read his books, but not especially well-known.  But his career really took off after the Sins arrived.  Now his real area of expertise is banishing.  He knows nine-tenths of all rituals for this purpose from any earth culture, any time period, and a great many alien ones as well.  He can calculate Pythagorean exorcisms, perform Enemy Ghost Ways, write effective ofuda on the fly, purify ase…  He also knows that none of it has the least impact on the Sins.  Well, one made Lust laugh at him, but that’s about it.</em><br/><br/><strong>Reincarnation</strong>[10] (50)<em>If the host gets himself killed, the Sins will simply force him back into existence with their combined will (over the course of 1 round).  They need a body, after all, and they certainly aren’t going to let one human’s mistake get in their way.  They tend to make the process excruciatingly unpleasant as a warning against similar mistakes in the future.  To stop the reincarnation, just kill off or separate him from the Sins.</em><br/><br/><strong>Defect</strong>(Points Earned)<em>Description</em><br/><strong>Blind Fury</strong>(6)<em>Whenever the host channels Wrath, he automatically enters the Blind Fury state.  In order to leave this state, one of two things must happen.  Either Wrath must be suppressed—no easy task; suppressing him means either incapacitating him (as per the weapon variable) or killing him—or Wrath must be imprisoned in a chamber with NO valid targets that he can perceive.  A valid target is anything Wrath can destroy without killing himself; an opponent he can’t beat is still a valid target.  He’ll attack walls (unless breaking them would send him flying into the vacuum of space), physical objects (unless they’re jars filled with poison gas or something), and other people (friends or foes).</em><br/><br/><strong>Inept Attack</strong>(30)<em>If, for any reason, the host tries to fight in his ‘natural state,’ the Sins will <strong>all</strong>, Gluttony included, immediately attempt to offer mutually contradictory advice.  The only thing they agree on is that any one of them would “do it better” than the host.  All the shouting in his head reduces the host’s ACV by 3.</em><br/><br/><strong>Marked, Unappealing</strong>(6)<em>The host’s entire body (including his face, eyelids, palms, and the soles of his feet) is covered in tattoos, ritual scarification, and other permanent markings.  These markings between them represent pretty much every form of evil human beings ever imagined.  The markings are verbal and in languages that are fairly outdated, but since some ancient languages (notably  Egyptian and Chinese) used pictograms, most people can tell what the markings say if they concentrate hard enough.</em><br/><br/><strong>Unique Defect</strong>(6)<em>While the Sins are always whispering things in the host’s mind, channeling a Sin corrupts the host on a far deeper level.  For every ten minutes (rounded down) that the host channels a Sin (other than Wrath, who has a much more serious problem) in a day, the host receives an associated Lesser Defect (at the -3 level) for that many <strong>days</strong>.  For instance, if the host channeled Greed for eleven minutes, he’d spend the next day Easily Distracted by items of high value and/or liquid wealth.  The host does not receive any character points for these defects.</em><br/>"

transfiguration, she flames spiral off of her into ribons that coaless around her into a white and purple sailor fuku, then an elbaroate ribon momentarily containing her now ankle length red-gold hair, high healed pumps.  A chain of flames coils around her, then clips around her waist.  The calgiraphy kit appears on it, and a katana sheath.  She reaches up for a simple solid oak shinai that descends from the havens.  As she snags it, runes of power burn down the hilt.  Her eyes open in time too see this, and the practice blade is transfigured into a sword of steel and

Anzaker kept a mistress in Tokyo, by whom he had a daughter, Kiira Anzaker.  Though her father's ki burned hot within her, and he astrally projected into her dreams too instruct her in the ways of martial arts, Kiira grew up believing that her father was a spry old Russian businessman who loved her and spent time with her whenever he was in Tokyo despite the fact that her conception was never intended.<br/>Up too the age of sixteen, she lead a relatively normal life for a well to do Tokyo girl.  She went too expensive schools and had more money than most, but was not without the pressure too work hard in school, the need too make friends, the desire for hobbies, and the like.  She tended too draw some of the over the top magical effects she dreamed about, which lead her too an interest in becoming a Manga-ka.<br/>Though she qualified for high placed business schools or just an MRS degree, Kiira entered The Takahashi Foundation Institute of Graphic Arts.<br/>Masquerade, a perverted alien arcmage and evil mastermind mimicked the Headmaster of the Academy and worked an elaborate curse upon Kiira sealed by the unwilling ecstasy of thirteen virgins.  Kiira's power was partially sealed away, only releasable by triggering a transformation sequence using Takashi Rumiko's 1,000 year ivory calligraphy case, on display before the school library.<br/>Furthermore, if he (or any other) ravished her to satisfaction (willing or not) then her will would be bound too him.  He could then take the calligraphy case and use it too command her transformation.  If another ravished her, her will would be transferred too that being instead, though the holder of the calligraphy case would still have certain powers over her.  Too restore her free will, the one who masters her must use the calligraphy case too break the curse...  'Til her body yields too it's next ravisher.<br/>Before Masquerade could complete his master plan, an unrelated perverted demon attacked the high school.  Acting on instinct, Kiira broke the display case and used the Calligraphy Case too transform and best the attacker.<br/>Masquerade knew that Orpheus would respond in a heartbeat now, and fled, planting evidence that his wrong doings were the fault of the Demon.<br/>Recruited by her father, still virgin Kiira is confused.  Why can she not unlock her father's training without using Takashi Rumiko's power?"

Joe always felt sorry for the Vickies, seeing them merely fulfill their roles without a thought for themselves, so after some tinkering with her source code, he was able to give her some semblance of a personality, though she is still quite robotic in thought and action.  He also enabled some of the programming featured in the red and green vickie models, though she is not as skilled in medical or house cleaning as her counterparts, she's competent enough to get by.  Joe also added some weaponry to Tomo's repertoire, including flash bangs, a beam rifle, and a machine gun, with future innovations to come by as he acquires them.<br/><br/>Body: 5(+2) (70)<br/>Mind: 5 (50)<br/>Soul: 5 (50)<br/><br/>Heath Points (Body+Soul)(x5): 60 + 20(tough) = 80<br/>Energy Points (Mind +Soul)(x5): 50<br/>Shock Value (Health Points/5): 12+10 = 22<br/>Combat Value: (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 6<br/>Attack Combat Value: (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 5+1 (6)<br/>Defense Combat Value: (Body+Mind+Soul)(/3): 5+1 (6)<br/><br/>Unused Advancement Points: 1<br/>Total Advancement Points: 358<br/><br/>Attribute/Skill                      Level    Point cost    Notes<br/>Armor   10   2/r(20)   - (20) damage received<br/>Attack Combat Mastery   1   10/r(10)   ACV increased by one<br/>Computer Scanning      2   4/r(8)   Can scan  computers up to a meter away<br/>Defense Combat Mastery   1   10/r(10)   DCV + 1<br/>Features(Cute, wireless card, personality)   2   1/r(2)   Thanks to Joe’s tinkering with her programming, she miraculously gained some semblance of personality.<br/>Heightened Senses(hearing)   1   2/r(2)<br/>Jumping   1   2/r(2)<br/>Power Flux   1   14/r(14)   Skill Flux (Primal; All skills, equipment -1, programs)<br/>Skill: Acrobatics (flexibility)    3   3/r(9)<br/>Skill: Computers (database)   2   2/r(4)<br/>Skill: Domestic Arts(Cleaning)   5   5/r(5)   Dormant programming usually disabled in combat models, Joe re-enabled it for testing and forgot to turn it off.<br/>Skill: Etiquette(upper class)   3   1/r(3)<br/>Special Defense:(disease (2), Lack of Air(2), Poison(2))   6   2/r(12)   Tomo is immune to disease, the need for air, and poison.<br/><br/>Superspeed   1   12/r(12)   Capable of doing things extremely quickly, including moving at 100 kph.<br/>Superstrength   2   8/r(16)   Tomo can carry up to 2 tons and has a +2 damage multiplier for unarmed attacks also grants a +2 bonus to rolls involving the body stat where strength is involved<br/>Tough!   4   2/r(8)   Hp increased by 20<br/>Combat Technique: Brutal   2   2/r(4)   Unarmed Attacks are at level 2<br/>Combat Technique: Hard Boiled   1   2/r(2)   Shock value increased by +10/rank<br/>Combat Technique: Lethal Blow   1   2/r(2)   Unarmed Attacks do damage<br/>Combat Technique: Portable Armory   1   2/r(2)   Tomo has access to all her weapons at all times, and can make field modifications in a single turn.<br/>Reincarnation: Download   1   5/r(5)   If the core unit of Tomo is taken out and placed in another Vickie, she can be “reborn”.

Her parents, it seems, hoped for a safer life for their daughter, and to their dismay her favorite subject seemed to be her fencing practice nonetheless. At least, unlike most of her friends' parents, her own seemed amenable to the idea of a daughter learning such things at all, perhaps because their careers had shown them what a dangerous place the world could be.<br/><br/>These teenage tensions boiled over into Aria learning how to sneak out and about at night, and she got herself into tatters of trouble, and eventually one scrap she'd not have survived from herself. Rescued from petty thugs of a Luskan pirate lord by a priestess of the Red Knight, Aria ventured out to visit her savior's temple on subsequent nights. She never lost her disobedient urge, but perhaps channeled it with more purpose.<br/><br/>She found companionship and learning of the sorts she'd longed for, which proved a bulwark against a dark part of her own nature: she discovered through the aggravating throes of puberty, and leafing about in her family heraldry, that one of her great-grandmothers just might've been an erinyes devil. This shared revelation renewed her priestess benefactor's attentions and concerns. So far, Aria has maintained a far loftier heart than her infamous ancestor's. The blood may've even contributed a disciplined and logical bent of mind which serves well one who would revere the Lady of Strategy.<br/><br/>Physical description: 5'4"", 110 lbs, red hair, hazel eyes, 22' waist, 34C bust.<br/><br/>With hair to her shoulderblades (often braided), Aria's fire-coloerd orange-red hair and bright hazel mights are hallmarks of the viking heritage of her ancestors (for Icewind Dale is just north of her home city of Luskan). Aria's fine-featured, aristocratic face is given to expressions of analytical thoughtfulness, scrutiny, or bold assertive desire.<br/><br/>She has the nimble and lithe body of a trained acrobat, able to assume many positions and maneuvers with confident poise. This same training, and natural genetics, confer a firmness  across almost all her body; her skin seems soft and supple at first, but just underneath, is quite firm.<br/><br/>Her hips are fairly narrow, perhaps not quite and curvaceous as full as she might ideally like, but her high round and ample bosom prehaps makes up for it, although she often keeps that bound sedurely with a cloth band under her outfit, for practical movement purposes when running, tumbling, or fighting. Her skin is an ivory-peach color, and can grow quite warm when she is in adrenal or emotional states, and assume the faintest of spicy cinnamon aromas.<br/><br/>As far as Aria knows, the only externally visible heirloom of her erinyes great-grandmother is a prehensile tail, hairless but with a much firmer texture even than the well-toned buttocks she usually keeps it hidden amidst under panties and hosiery. The tail's tip has a telltale-devilish spade-shape, which is even firmer still, yet which Aria can curl and twist inward with about the same dexterity as her own tongue. Aria usually keeps her tail hidden and unmentioned as much as possible, mindful of the potential for ostracization. She thinks her teeth might be slightly sharper and harder than average human, but not so much so that it's clearly inhuman (and has always had good dentistry, possibly with this to thank it for).<br/><br/>Kinks: Bisexual but much more particular when it comes to males (may go for<em>the</em>guy but not<em>a</em>guy). Similarly, both dom or sub but more particular when it comes to other doms. Especially enjoys 'teaching' a submissive, shy, or innocent female, and practicing compassionate domination. May practice more coercive domination, especially as part of some other goal (such as interrogation using sexuality as negative and-or positive leverage). Enjoys giving and receiving for oral, vaginal, and anal alike (to 'give' vaginal or anal, may use fingers or handled and worn toys).

Do not recalculate the creature’s Hit Dice, base attack bonus, or saves. Size is unchanged. Half-celestials are normally native outsiders.<br/>Speed: A half-celestial has feathered wings and can fly at twice the base creature’s base land speed (good maneuverability). If the base creature has a fly speed, use that instead.<br/>Armor Class: Natural armor improves by +1 (this stacks with any natural armor bonus the base creature has).<br/>Special Attacks: A half-celestial retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following special abilities. <br/>Daylight (Su): Half-celestials can use a daylight effect (as the spell) at will.<br/>Smite Evil (Su): Once per day a half-celestial can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD (maximum of +20) against an evil foe.<br/>Spell-Like Abilities: A half-celestial with an Intelligence or Wisdom score of 8 or higher has two or more spell-like abilities, depending on its Hit Dice, as indicated on the table below. The abilities are cumulative<br/>Unless otherwise noted, an ability is usable once per day. Caster level equals the creature’s HD, and the save DC is Charisma-based.<br/>HD<br/>Abilities<br/>1–2<br/>Protection from evil 3/day, bless<br/>3–4<br/>Aid, detect evil<br/>5–6<br/>Cure serious wounds, neutralize poison<br/>7–8<br/>Holy smite, remove disease<br/>9–10<br/>Dispel evil<br/>11–12<br/>Holy word<br/>13–14<br/>Holy aura 3/day, hallow<br/>15–16<br/>Mass charm monster<br/>17–18<br/>Summon monster IX (celestials only)<br/>19–20<br/>Resurrection<br/>Special Qualities: A half-celestial has all the special qualities of the base creature, plus the following special qualities.<br/>—Darkvision out to 60 feet.<br/>—Immunity to disease.<br/>—Resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and electricity 10.<br/>—Damage reduction: 5/magic (if HD 11 or less) or 10/magic (if HD 12 or more).<br/>—A half-celestial’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.<br/>—Spell resistance equal to creature’s HD + 10 (maximum 35).<br/>— +4 racial bonus on Fortitude saves against poison.<br/>Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +4, Dex +2, Con +4, Int +2, Wis +4, Cha +4.<br/>Skills: A half-celestial gains skill points as an outsider and has skill points equal to (8 + Int modifier) x(HD +3). Do not include Hit Dice from class levels in this calculation—the half-celestial gains outsider skill points only for its racial Hit Dice, and gains the normal amount of skill points for its class levels. Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills, and other skills as cross-class. <br/>Challenge Rating: HD 5 or less, as base creature +1; HD 6 to 10, as base creature +2; HD 11 or more, as base creature +3.<br/>Alignment: Always good (any).<br/>Level Adjustment: Same as base creature +4.<br/></em>"

At 5 HD they gain 30ft fly speed, good maneuverability and at 10 HD they gain 40 fly speed, perfect maneuverability.<br/>#  Gliding(Ex): Avariel can use her wings to glide, negating damage from fall of any height and allowing 20ft of forward travel for every 5ft of descent.<br/># Flight(Ex): Starting at 5 HD, Avariel has enough stamina and prowess to fly at the speed of 30ft with a good maneuverability. At 10 HD, fly speed increases to 40ft and they can fly at perfect maneuverability.<br/># Overland flight(Ex):Avariel overland speed is 15 mph at level 5 and 20 mph at level 10. To attain this speed they need to fly quite high (over 1000 feet) and they must be able to distinguish thermals. Also, they can only keep this up for up to six hours, after which they start making forced march checks (dc 14+ 4 for every additional hour). They can't walk after flying for six hours, and start making forced march checks straight away. When flight is stopped after less then six hours, an Avariel can walk for 1-1/3 times (the number of flight hours left) hours long before starting to make checks. Avariel cannot fly in heavy armor or when exhausted (and will crash without being able to glide), and can only descend when fatigued.<br/># High altitude adaption (Ex): Avariel can breathe without problems up to 20.000 feet above sea level. After this, they can acclimatisize to the altidude. This requires an Endurance check with DC 10+ (thousands of feet above 20.000) every week for six weeks. After this, the Avariel is acclimatisized to the altitude until six months after he/she drops below this altidude. When not acclimatisized to an altidude, an Avariel takes 1d4+ 2 nonlethal damage every hour, as well as a -1 to all ablity score modifiers, for every 1000 feet above acclimatisized altitude. This may be avoided by avoiding strenous activity, such as combat. This ability does not provide protection from gas attacks, rather, due to more efficient gas exchange, Avariel take 1 additional damage (and gets a -1 penalty to saving throws) to gas attacks, and 1 more in both for every 1000 feet above sea level. Avariel have a level of cold protection of 1 (see Frostburn for details on artic conditions).<br/># Low-Light Vision: Avariel can see twice as far as human in moonlight, starlight or torchlight and similar conditions of poor illumination. Avariel retain the ability to distinguish colors at these conditions.<br/># Weapon Proficiency: Avariel receive martial weapon proficiency with longsword, rapier, longbow (including composite longbow), shorbow (Including composite shortbow) as bonus feats. As their elven relatives, Avariel esteem the arts of archery and swordplay, and therefore they are familiar with those weapons.<br/># Trance: Avariel do not sleep, as members of most other common races do. Instead, they meditate in the deep trance that all elves meditate for 4 hours a day. This makes them immune to magical sleep.<br/><br/><em>Class Abilities</em><br/># Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with light armor and shields (except tower shields).<br/># Favored Enemy (Dragon and Outsider Evil): The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of this type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.<br/># Track: A ranger gains Track as a bonus feat.<br/># Wild Empathy: A ranger can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.<br/># Combat Style (Archery): She is treated as having the Rapid Shot feat, even if she does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.<br/># Endurance: A ranger gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 3rd level.<br/># Spells: A sorcerer casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).<br/>To learn or cast a spell, a sorcerer must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a sorcerer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the sorcerer’s Charisma modifier.<br/><br/><em>Spells</em><br/>Spells per day: 6 Zero level, 7 First level, 5 Second level<br/>Spells known: Zero Level (Prestidigitation, Acid Splash, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Arcane Mark, Mending), First Level (Shield, True Strike, Comprehend Languages, Magic Missile), Second Level (Knock, Invisibility).<br/><br/><em>Magical Items</em><br/>+3 Mithral Shirt, glamored<br/>Wand of Lightning Bolt (5th): 8 charges remaining<br/>Oil of Cure Light Wounds, 4<br/>Silver Ring – Ring of Charisma +4<br/>Rod of Transportation<br/>Gauntlets of Infinite Blades<br/>SwordBow<br/>Mystic Lightning Ring<br/><br/><br/><em>Regular Equipment</em><br/>Light Mace<br/>Shortsword<br/>Composite Longbow<br/>Arrows (40)<br/><br/>Bedroll<br/>Chalk, 4 pieces<br/>Flint and Steel<br/>Hammer<br/>Mirror, small steel<br/>Belt Pouch, 2<br/>Flask, 4<br/>Trail Rations, 4 days<br/>Silk Rope, 50 foot<br/>Signet Ring<br/>Sack (empty)<br/>Waterskin, 2<br/>Whetstone, 2<br/>Holy symbol, silver<br/><br/><br/><em>Cash</em><br/>25 gps, 1 sp<br/>"

Riho said to Hitomi. She was always looking out for the girl, something that she enjoyed doing very much..though Hitomi was a bit too reckless for Riho's tastes. The two shared a strong bond, however. Hitomi had helped Riho track down her target and enact her revenge, and in exchange, Riho had become Hitomi's pokegirl. That was when she was a Cudildo, of course...after getting her revenge, Riho had evolved into the beautiful Marowhack she was today, and Hitomi had registered her as her starting pokegirl.<br/><br/>""Oh, Riho..you worry too much!"" Hitomi said to her loving pokegirl, smiling back to her as she continued to run forward...straight into a tree. Hitomi fumbled back and landed on her butt in the grass, rubbing her head. ""Ow!!"" She said in a crybaby tone, rubbing the spot that she had hit on the tree. Perhaps Riho had been right, as she usually was.<br/><br/>""You see? I told you!"" Riho said to Hitomi, sighing as she moved to the girl. She looked at the bump Hitomi had gotten, and rubbed a little ointment on it. ""Honestly, you always do such reckless things..."" Riho said with a sigh.<br/><br/>Hitomi smirked once the ointment had been rubbed in, and smirked, lifting up Riho's mask quickly. Such a thing caused Riho to blush intensely, as the only one allowed to see her without her mask was Hitomi..she was afraid some other pokegirl would catch her face! Hitomi only smiled and kissed Riho's lips tenderly. ""Well then it's a good thing I have you."" Hitomi said to Riho with a smile, lowering her mask back down. She looked around where they sat, and blinked, noticing something shiny in the distance. Getting up quickly, Hitomi practically pounced on the shiny thing as if she was a cat. ""ooh..what's this?"" She said to herself, picking it up. She moved back from the sunlight to examine what she had found, and saw that..it was a pokeball!..and not only a pokeball, but a Pink Pokeball aswell. ""ooh! I wonder what's inside?"" Hitomi said, reaching to press the button.<br/><br/>Riho quickly grabbed Hitomi's arm. ""Hitomi!"" She said, still excited from their kiss only a few moments ago, as evident from the blush on her cheeks. ""Don't open that, you don't know what could be inside! It could be a dangerous pokegirl!""<br/><br/>Hitomi smiled to Riho, pulling her arm gently away. ""Oh come on, Riho..I wasn't really going to open it..I'm not that St-"" Hitomi smirked and quickly pressed the release button before Riho could object, and the pokeball burst open in a stream of red light!"

""Come!""<br/><br/>He ran in the direction of the sounds he heard. When he came closer to the source, he could make out female voices. Then, in a small distance, he could spot a human and a pokegirl, obviously fighting with each other. Was she a tamer too?

He glared at her as his pokedex made more sounds as the scan processed.<br/><br/>Puppy backed down a bit and frowned, cowering like a dog would. ""I'm sorry,"" she said, ""I didn't do it.... I didn't know that it would-"" She got cut off as another light orb burst from afar, and shot up towards the two of them. It stopped in mid air and pulsated a bit, the light growing into a rather strange figure. Jason held the pokedex scanner out to it, and it scanned the throbbing light orb. Puppy jumped back, not knowing what to do at first. She then immediately saw it as a threat and barked at it. She suddenly went wide eyed and backed away again, after hearing a distorted voice in her head tell her to leave.<br/><br/>Jason read the screen, ""Ghostly..."" he said, ""It's a ghost?"" He then dropped the computer and held his hands to his ears as he heard a distorted voice. He made out something of a message, but was unable to unravel it to something understandable. The noise in his head stopped and he looked back up at the spiritoid. It began to look something similar to a pokegirl, but what type was beyond clear. He heard another noise, this one just a single word repeated, much easier to understand. ""Follow you where?"" Jason shouted as the ghost of a pokegirl began running through the woods<br/><br/>He chased after it, Puppy following him closely until they reached a small meadow with a single old tree in the center of it. Around the tree was a pool of glowing blue water. He walked up to it, and the Ghostly hovered over it eerily. Jason decided he was done waiting, and threw a pokeball at it. The ball went right through it, and hit the tree before bouncing into the pool. He heard another voice through his mind again. ""Drink ... ... drink"" it said. Jason shook his head. It was a bad idea, and he backed away slowly. He turned around and then suddenly he saw his father. He was just standing there, phasing in and out of being, as if he was composed entirely of light. The entity vanished and Jason turned back to the Ghostly. ""Drink... drink!"" it said, louder.<br/><br/>Jason looked at the spirit and said slowly, ""Okay... I'll take a drink."" He slowly cupped his hands in the pool to collect some water and sipped a bit from it. Suddenly his body fell to the ground, his hand laying in the pool of water. Puppy jumped at him, shocked, and immediately went about licking his face, and attempting to kiss him to try and revive him. He was breathing, but totally out of it.<br/><br/>Jason woke up somewhere strange. The place was brightly illuminated with all sorts of strange colors. Before him was the figure that the Ghostly appeared as before he passed out. It was more formed though, and although the figure didn't look like any single pokegirl, it did look tangible now. Jason spoke up, ""Who are you? What do you want from me?"" he asked demandingly. He breathed heavily, and felt weightless.<br/><br/>""Who am I?"" the spirit asked aloud, ""To tell you the truth, I'm just not sure anymore."" She giggled a bit and smirked as she drifted towards him. ""I know you though,"" she said, ""I think I knew you your father... but I can't remember much before my death.""<br/><br/>""Your... death?"" Jason asked, suspiciously, ""If you're dead... then... am I dead?""<br/><br/>""No silly,"" the Ghostly said, her voice echoing across the place, ""This is a dream. You're plenty alive, but I can't have fun with you in the real world, or even talk to you very easily apparently.""<br/><br/>""You don't even remember your own name..."" Jason said, ""I'm Jason, for the record. That was my father that you made an image of, how did you know him?""<br/><br/>""I'm not totally sure,"" she said, ""I think he was my tamer, I was hoping you might be able to enlighten me a bit.""<br/><br/>""Sorry,"" Jason said, ""I never knew much about my father's tamer days. And unfortunately, he's dead.""<br/><br/>""Dead..."" she said, her eyes beginning to welt with tears. The environment became darker, and melted away slowly.<br/><br/>""For ten years,"" Jason told her, ""He was killed, and I'm on my way to find out who killed him.""<br/><br/>Suddenly, she let out a loud cry and the whole world of the dream began to shake and break apart violently. Memories poured back into her, and she screamed out, ""They killed him! They shot him! Then they took us! Then they separated us. They took me and I wouldn't go... and so they killed me...""<br/><br/>Jason held on to the ground around him, the nightmare breaking loose inside of him. ""You can come with me!"" Jason shouted, trying to speak over the mayhem, ""I'm going to find the men who did this to you, and to my father."" As abruptly as the terror began, it stopped, and the Ghostly dropped to her knees, sobbing relentlessly. Jason walked up to her and comforted her, ""We'll find your harem sisters,"" he said as he hugged her, ""Will that make you happy?""<br/><br/>""...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return,"" the Ghostly said under her false breath.<br/><br/>""What?"" Jason asked.<br/><br/>""We all knew what was coming,"" she said, ""those were the last words I heard from the most powerful of my sisters, Elievra. She said things like that that never made much sense to us, but she seemed to cherish and have faith in some of those many phrases. She said that it was from a really old book, and never told us much more.""<br/><br/>""As long as you don't have a name already,"" Jason said, ""I think I want to name you Dust... do you like it?""<br/><br/>""Yea..."" she said, ""I do...""<br/><br/>""I know Elievra,"" Jason told her, ""She trained me for this mission. She said she was the only one who managed to escape capture. And that it was by being hidden. So... are you with me?""<br/><br/>""Yes,"" Dust said, ""If you promise to let me have some fun with you every now and then, although it'd have to stick to your dreams. The pokeball should work now. You shouldn't wait too much longer, so we'll get to know each other a little more next time. I have a feeling that your other girl thinks you're dead.""<br/><br/>Suddenly, Jason woke up next to pool of water. The pokeball was in hand and Dust appeared as a silhouette of the image she took on in the dream. He hit the opening button on the ball and noticed that the properties of the ball had changed. It was now as incorporeal as she was to his left hand, but to his right arm, which was sitting in the water the whole time, he could touch it.His arm appeared no different, but it seemed to have gained the attribute of being able to touch intangible spiritual essence. The pokeball absorbed Dust and shrank before vanishing in a flash. It reappeared, hovering alongside his other pokeballs.<br/><br/>""Huh,"" Jason said, ""That's interesting."" He looked at Puppy who was more than happy to see him awake. Her tail wagged uncontrollably as she licked his hand playfully. The night brought an un-thought of traveling advantage. In the distance, the halo of the brightly lit Silverfork City shined brightly. Jason quickly ran back towards the road, easily able to find it now that he had a better sense of direction with the map."

If his hp falls below a quarter of his maximum, he must make stat rolls to keep him in check. Also, if Joe's hp falls to or below Zero, the demon takes over with half of Joes max health remaining. (Zarazel and I discussed that.)  However, in situations that are truly bad, such as going against an enemy that can barely be harmed normally, that is also capable of summoning, like Jude's demon, he is willing to make an exception.  During these times, he will make a contract with the demon. In other words, he lets the demon out, so long as the demon stays within the confines of the contract.  As with all permission magic, Joe must be VERY careful about how he words things. For instance, if I had said, ""I'll let you out as long as you don't kill any Orpheus members,"" the demon would have free reign indefinitely, so long as he didn't kill anyone from Orpheus. That wouldn't stop him from killing anyone else. That's why I won't normally manually transform into the demon.)<br/>"

The sigh came from the pit, though his voice still seemed to come from just behind the newcomer's ear.  “You see what I’ve been dealing with for the past fourteen hours.  When I joined Orpheus, I wanted to find a way to keep myself under control.  To keep my friends under control and find a constructive use for their abilities.  But you know what?  The voices in my head are starting to make sense.  It’s starting to sound reasonable to go out there and begin slaughtering these maddened brutes.  I’ve been holding out for as long as I can, but I am very much out of my depth here—I’ve known my friends for forty hours and been a member of Orpheus for about thirty.  I’m afraid bad things are going to happen, but the fact that you’re out there suggests that you can do something about this.""  The voice sounded less vicious now, more human.  More desperate.  ""So please, hurry.”"

Then the monster may turn on him, though that is rare as even the evil ones know they couldn't get any further without the help of the monsters.""<br/><br/>Ace nodded then began to lift some foods onto his plate including a large piece of ham and a potato as well as some grapes."

Furthermore, if we are 15 years in our future, and this calamity happened 4 years in your past, that means the danger won't occur for 11 more years in our time, correct? If that's true, perhaps the way to solve this situation is to not go back to our own time, so she never causes the disaster.

'Feather Fall' is the obvious wish-we-had spell for such a situation, but I didnt' see it in any of her spell lists or items.<br/><br/>Keela can save herself by Wild Shaping into a bird, but since a druid-6 only has Small and Medium forms, I doubt her flying forms have the carrying capacity to save us all. Maybe, since druids can spontaneously cast Summon Nature's Ally spells ,she can summon one or two giant eagles or giant owls (SNA III list, so two 3rd level slots which she has), which are Large with light loads of 300 lbs, so even two of them could probably carry the 3 girls and wolf, each eagle clutching one person/wolf in each claw.<br/><br/>Next best thing I can think of is aiming for any bodies of water - which I've heard still can kill, but it seems better than nothing - or maybe big carts of hay, a series of roof awnings (like in certain kung fu movies, where they pop through 5 at once, getting a little slower each time), etc. NK's post seemed to suggest the city itself is a clue somehow, though I don't know what the 'details' are of it<br/><br/>Trying to use the horses to cushion the fall doesn't seem like it'd help much (since you'd just hit the horse's body with about the same impact)<br/><br/>Other hail-maries are trying to use their tents as parachutes.<br/>"

At worst 3 rounds to summon giant eagles for her wolf and the other 2 PCs, then a round to wild shape herself, but probably the giant eagles can carry 2 each so it only takes 2 roudns (plus maybe a round for the 2nd one grab its pair of people).<br/><br/>Feather Fall rings are 2,200 gp, which is nontrivial at our level, but I suppose if we're going into another situation where it seems plausible (such as a mountainous quest or elven treetop area) then it might be worth it.<br/><br/>Or, IIRC there are items to give sorces extra spells known at a cost of 1000 x spell level squared ('Knowstone', forget the manual) so that'd be 1000 for Feyua to learn it for the party.<br/><br/>Feyua won't gain any new 1st level sorc spells at 7th level, but she'll gain one at 8th level, and htat's a level where she can swap out a known spell. So needless to say my current request for her is Feather Fall, at the risk of being told ""hindsight is 20/20"" or ""closing the bard door after the horse runs out."" (Not criticizing your current spell choice Kate - Nicci could've just as easily made us need to understand a foreign tongu to survive and then chastise us if you hadn't chosen Comprehend Langues as you did.)<br/><br/>There's always the risk of some PCs falling and being out of Feyua's Close spell range.

I know the rules for flying creatures who are suddenly unable to fly is 150 feet the first round, and 300 feet per round after that, reflecting that things are constant after 6 seconds (although I'm not sure if this is 'special' for previously-flying creatures vs suddenly falling).<br/><br/>Gravity acceleration is 32 ft / second / second, so rounding to 30 (a nice DnD number distance number), that would be 30 + 60 + 90...in the first few seconds, which adds up to more than 150, but that is ignoring air resistance.<br/><br/>You're quite right that falling distance damage ignores this (probably b/c terminal velocity is supposed to be fatal anyway for most people), so someone could perhaps use a maximum of 15d6 as that corresponds to 1 round of the aforementioned DnD falling, which happens to roughly be the distance at which terminal velocity is achieved.<br/><br/>Interestingly, since velocity is linear in time (if there were no air friction),  and thus so is momentum at impact, it's intuitive that the damage taken is linear in the distance fallen (although HP are an abstract, nonphysical concept anyway, so it wouldn't necessarily be 'unrealistic' if it weren't, as long as it's monotone) - so while the falling damage rules were probably just to be easy (1d6 / 10') they sort of make sense (if they are capped at terminal velocity).<br/>"

Due to circumstances beyond a certain Rogue's comprehension, a certain gambling house seems to have gotten into their minds that you owe them some gold from previous gambling practices you tried to use on them. Which, of course, is utter nonsense, who in their right mind would set a fish on fire in the middle of a card game, just to distract and loot like mad? While the strategy was perfectly executed, the young rogue didn't exactly take into account the new security the house installed, mainly being two trolls that were blocking the door.<br/><br/>Soon enough Aria found herself rather in a bind, bonded up with plenty of roped and stripped for good measure. The house finding it to be in good business by selling off you and your debt to the locally owned and family run slavery racket. Getting thrown into a rather nice cage in a basement somewhere. It terms of cages, this one is just very well decorated!<br/><br/>Meanwhile Keela is getting into some trouble herself. Just arriving to town and hoping to find herself a very nice and comfy Inn to stay at, only to get directed and step into a family owned and operated brothel.... you know, the perfectly legit kind. After a few conversations and some misunderstandings, the Mistress of the perfectly legal establishments thinks that you are the missing whore that they bought that few weeks ago.<br/><br/>Which is quite distressing as Keela gets surrounded and captured along with her pet, there being way too many bouncers for an establishment this clean. They don't buy your obvious sob story about not being a whore, judging from your outfit and how sexy you do look. Tied up and stripped as well, wondering what to do with their lazy whore. Then the mistress remembering that they owe a favor from the family owned and operated slavery racket, and soon enough you are carted off and dumped into the same very sharply decorated cage with Aria. Both of you still have your wrists tied behind your back and your anklets tied as well, still naked.<br/><br/>All the while this is happening, a certain expert of the naughty arts, Feyua, just happened to be in the neighborhood when these two instances occurred. A random act of kindness/bribery is in order, and it takes a few winks and other naughty acts in order to obtain the gear and outfits the other two girls where wearing.<br/><br/>A few more favors and promises of delicious sex gives Feyua all the information she needs. Locating the building that the two unlucky ladies are kept, and easily seducing her way past the meager guards and down into the basement. Seeing the two helpless ladies in the cage, their gear in hand and a few certain things that you just happened to grope while groping other things, like the keys."

How could she'd let herself get tangled up - literally! - with thugs like these? Sure, she'd begun sneaking out at night to learn the ways of the world as an all-too-cliche act of teenage rebellion, and picked up a few skills usually associated with the thieverous sort, but she was certainly no card cheat. And if she had sought to earn a living cheating at cards, she'd have gone after softer marks, like paunchy noblemen looking to impression their peers around the gentlemen's gaming table, not gangsters who employed trolls!<br/><br/>But somehow, she'd earned the apparent consequences of such things, without the fun or profit of having actually merited the accusations! Perhaps a case of mistaken identity, or perhaps it was this gang's way of indebting or enslaving people, via random false accusations.<br/><br/>Likely it mattered little; Aria couldn't imagine reasoning with these people, she'd just have to figure out a way. She'd tried struggling with her bindings some, trying not to think about the humiliating of having been stripped and bound like some plucked dinner-chicken or a dark cult's sex-slave.<br/><br/>This nudity made it all too easy to notice the natural allure of the other female bound in the cage with her, but she hardly had the luxury of dwelling on such things now. The other girl seemed a rather fit physical specimen, and that was what mattered now -<em>think tactically</em>, Aria reminded herself, a mantra of her goddess.<br/><br/>She struggled with her ropes for a bit, then inched toward the other girl as best she could. ""Maybe we can help each other somehow, reach each other's bindings with fingers or even teeth?"" she asked, trying not to show stress and strain in her voice. It was a surreal way to first greet someone, but then again, these were surreal circumstances.<br/><br/>When a third girl made her way into the room, and Aria thought she noticed some of her own things in the lady's possession, her heart leaped further still. ""Over here!"" she whispered hopefully.<br/><br/>Escape Artist checks to free herself, and checks to free Keela, from their bindings. Modifier +5 (0 ranks + 5 Dex).

Originally I had planned for it to be so that for a certain amount of real time that passes, a certain amount of game time passes. But due to the fact that some scenes may take several days to compose, and only cover a short time span of game time, I am not going to implement that system. Instead, we will use a system of time passed between scenes. The rule will be: between any two scenes with the same character, 1 day of game time will pass. This time will be assumed to consist of general day to day activities that are not played out (e.g. eating, walking, using the restroom, general training, general entertainment etc.). Essentially this makes it so that 1 exciting event happens per day of game time.<br/><br/>2) Leveling rule<br/>Levels will be used to determine who is the victor of a combat scene and how close it is. While closer level ranges may be able to fight one another and either side emerge victorious, no-one of a ridiculously high level is going to lose against an enemy of significantly lower level. The system for leveling will be based on a number of things:<br/><br/>a) Decent literature: there will be an incentive to making long, decent posts. Every two paragraphs of 4-7 good sentences will earn a bonus level. A decent sentence is at least 6 words, and preferable between 10 and 20 words. Proper grammar and creative writing will put you further. You may apply these bonus levels to any character you want.<br/><br/>b) Training: A scene with at least 8 paragraphs dedicated to training time will earn the trainees and the trainers 3 levels each.<br/><br/>c) Items: Approved custom items will be allowed to add levels to the wielder. The number of levels will have to be approved as well, and will never exceed 10% of any character's current level.<br/><br/>d) Taming: Initial taming will gain the tamer and the tamed 2 levels each.<br/><br/>3) Combat and Level Limits rule<br/>A character cannot ever defeat another character who's level is 150% of that character's level, at least not alone. A level 100 will never be able to defeat a level 150. A level 50 will never defeat a level 75 (5:8, 10:15, 20:30, 40:60, 80:120, etc.). A tamer will never have total control over a pokegirl who's level is is 200% of the tamer's level. If a character has a level that is more than 500% of the level of all of their opponents individually, no matter how large the group, the first character cannot be beaten, they are considered god like in comparison.<br/><br/>4) Death vs. K.O. rule<br/>No character may die without the consent of its creator. A character becomes knocked out by consent of its controller (e.g. I created Puppy, so she cannot die without my say so, but it is up to whoever controls her to decide how much hits she can take before getting knocked out). You cannot resist getting knocked out in the event of more than 5 successful hits. There is a bit of an honor system here, I would like to keep combat free-form, please keep combat situations realistic to some degree.<br/><br/>5) Capture rule<br/>All players have a right to have their tamer character successfully capture a pokegirl that is their character. Whoever controls that character, in the event that it is not the same person controlling the tamer character, must allow this to happen. There is an exception, and that deals with the legendary pokegirls. Legendary pokegirls will require more effort to capture, and may not be successful in the first or second attempt.<br/><br/>6) Rare vs. Unique rule<br/>Anything that is said to be rare may not actually be 'rare' in this game. All players are entitled to 'rare' things as long as they do not overdo it. Overdoing it means that you stack yourself with rare things without acquiring more common things. Unique things means that there is only one of them, no exceptions. If some-one creates a unique item or other object, they are entitled to be the only one who has it.<br/><br/>7) Weapons rule<br/>Weapons shall be defined as any object or item that is used in a manner in the form of an assault, deadly or not. Weapons can be used, but they may open your characters up to have weapons used on them as well. In addition, some weapons (e.g. guns, knives, etc.) may also be considered illegal in some locations, and using them will open you up to being chased by NPC law enforcement. These weapons are also frowned upon in an 'official' pokegirl battle.<br/><br/>8) Medical Attention rule<br/>All pokecenters in the game shall act as all purpose medical facilities. You will sustain injury during combat, and in most cases you must seek medical attention to be healed. If you have an injury before you go into a battle, that injury will affect you negatively. If you have a broken leg or similar injury, you will be disabled and hindered in movement (e.g. your leg is broken, and you cannot run anywhere; your good arm is broken, and you cannot throw objects very far).<br/><br/>9) Money rule<br/>Money is more complicated. It will be assumed that you have a constant income in order to eat and live, but extra things (e.g. buying a weapon, staying in a pent house) cost money, and you must put forth an effort (no matter how small) to earn the money for it. The specific amount is not important, just so long as it is clear that you don't just automatically have enough money to live in luxury."

He was never going to become a tamer. His father was a famous tamer, and was shot in the head on his knees by three unknown suspects when Jason was only 8 years old. His mother died when he was less than a year old. He inherited his father's house but stayed away from it, not interested in the ghosts of his past. He stayed at an unthresholded police woman's house who took him in when his father died. At the age of 19, he was dealing with quite a bit. His girlfriend for two years, and the daughter of a good friend of his dead father, was going through threshold, and the pressure was on for him to become a tamer like his father. Not knowing what he wanted to do, he ended up going to his old, now abandoned home. He stumbled upon the last of his father's pokegirls, still inside of a pokeball. She was Elievra, an unbelievably powerful Vampire who convinced him to take up taming, and trained him physically for the task. After a week's worth of training under the wing of one of the most powerful pokegirls he had ever known of, he passed the tamer's test, and began a journey to avenge his father's death.<br/><br/>Puppy's profile:<br/><strong>Nickname: Puppy</strong><br/><strong>Player: (Panthean) up for grabs!</strong><br/>Age: 18<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Role: Pokegirl (Jason)<br/>Appearance: Anthropomorphic canine.

He was always quite adventurous and ran away from home several times. He likes cats very much and therefore prefers cat-like pokegirls.<br/>Since he was a child, he wanted to become a tamer, as it is a respectable job that promises much adventure, but back then he was frightened by the methods to do so. That changed as he got older, especially when he underwent puberty. The time to become one finally came, when his childhood friend Mia underwent threshold and became a Catgirl. He passed the test for the basic license and made her the first pokegirl of his harem.

She was the best friend of Rico, knowing him since they were six years old. As they became older, Mia felt more and more attracted to him, a feeling that he, unbeknown to her, shared.<br/>Being the granddaughter of a breeder, she often helped at their farm. The constant exposure to pokegirls eventually triggered her blood and she underwent threshold and became a Catgirl. After the initial shock subsided, she made the decision to become Rico's first pokegirl, convincing him to finally make his test to become a tamer.<br/>She is fiercely loyal to Rico, even more as a pokegirl and will him protect from any danger.<br/><br/>CATGIRL, the All Purpose Perceptual Pokégirl<br/>Type: Animorph, very near human<br/>Element: Normal<br/>Frequency: Uncommon<br/>Diet: human style foods (enjoys fish and milk products)<br/>Role: Assumed to be the first evolution possible<br/>Libido: Average (becomes High monthly at New Moon)<br/>Strong Vs: None<br/>Weak Vs: Fighting, Ghost<br/>Attacks: Leap, Kitten's Roar, Fury Swipes, Glare, Foresight, Agility, Double Kick<br/>Enhancements: Enhanced Speed (x2), Enhanced Agility(x3), Enhanced Senses(x2), high hand-eye coordination, night vision<br/>Evolves: Cabbit (orgasm), Pussycat (normal), Griffon (Angel Stone), Cheetit (Cat E-Medal), Cheshire (Psi Cyrstal), Shaguar (Ice Crystal), Tigress (battle stress), Catfish (Water Stone), Mistoffeles (Mana Crystal)<br/>Evolves From: Kitten (normal)<br/><br/><strong>Name: Kyle Kincaid (orginally)</strong><br/><strong>Player: Callie Del Noire</strong><br/>Age:19<br/>Role: Pokegirl<br/>Type: Drow Zee<br/>Picture:<br/>(http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx51/Calliedelnoire/Dark_Elf_by_nJoo.jpg)<br/>Attacks: Water Gun, Ember, Spark, Hypnotic Gaze, Shadow Teleport, Backstab, Shadow Possession, Low to Moderate Spells (Cure, Protect, Shell, and Slow)<br/>Enhancements: Infravision, Enhanced Agility (x4), Enhanced Hearing (x3), immunity to poison, Longevity<br/>Disadvantage: Highly susceptible to Attraction effect.<br/>History: Kyle had a normal childhood, with a few blood gifts that hinted towards a mystic in his mother's blood.

I posted it here instead of the lfg thread because the picture shows full frontal nudity, which is better staying off the public face of the site.<br/><br/>If it is really really neccessary, I'll post another character profile there after some slight modifications.<br/>------<br/><br/><br/><strong>Name: </strong>Firelight (nickname from previous tamer)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><br/><br/><strong>Role:</strong>Pokegirl (wild at the moment)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Type:</strong><strong>BLAZICUNT, the Blazing Glory Pokégirl</strong>(http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/pokegirls/pokedex_AD.html#Blazicunt) (near human : bird)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Element:</strong>Fire/Fighting<br/><br/><br/><strong>Attacks:</strong>Scratch, Fire Punch, Fire Kick, Burning Uppercut, Ignite, Napalm, Flamethrower, Focus Energy, Warm Embrace, Burning Hands, Preen<br/><br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://thumbs.hentai-foundry.com/thumb.php?size=1550&shadow=0&pid=53042&bgcolor=B2B1B7)<br/><br/>Blazicunt is a humanoid bird poke girl in the final stages of her evolutionary life (becomes increasingly birdlike as it evolves.) Her body is covered by by red and orange down like feathers that are very soft and warm to the touch. The orange feathers between her breasts and on her pubis puff out predominantly against the short red feathers that cover the rest of her body, and do nothing to hide her sensitive nipples or her pink, heated sex.<br/><br/>These larger orange and yellow feathers also cover her legs from the knee down, ending at the ankels of her avian, talon like feet. Her hands are similarly bird like in shape, having four thin fingers and a rough, scaly texture, though they lack the sharp talons her feet have.<br/><br/><strong>Skills/Talents:</strong>Martial Arts, Dancing, Metal Working, Cooking<br/><br/><br/><strong>Enhancements:</strong>Loyal, Enhanced Strength(x4), Enhanced Agility(x4), Resistance to fire<br/><br/><br/><strong>Disadvantages:</strong>Water, Sensitive Breasts and Nipples<br/><br/><br/><strong>Short Bio:</strong>Firelight once worked for a blacksmith, back when she was still a Torch Chick. It was during that time that she met her future tamer and trainer, Edward. Edward was the blacksmith's nephew, who came to live with the blacksmith's family for a while after some trouble with his own parents. It took month's for the Torch Chick to feel comfortable around Edward, but when she finally did warm up to him Edward and Firelight were 'training' every night, which lead to her eventual evolution.<br/><br/>Needless to say, the blacksmith was pissed. Torch Chicks are well known for their loyalty and calm demeanor, which make them ideal for working in forges and smitheries. CombustiCunts on the other hand are anything but. Now awoken to her firery passions, and with a new set of breasts and eye catching plumage, she would seek out anything hard and trobing to do besides work. When she was at home, her new firery, and some would say bitchy, personality quickly irritated the blacksmith and his family to the point where he threw both her, and Edward out on their asses. Having no where else to go, Edward embarked on his quest to become a poke girl tamer...starting with the needy and confrontational CombustiCunt he unwittingly evolved from his uncle's once sweet and gentle Torch Chick.<br/><br/>After month's of traveling, the bond between Edward and Firelight grew ever stronger, despite her short temper and insistant nature. Eventually under Edward's patient care, she was able to let go of all that anger and angst, thus allowing her to evolve into her third and final form. From there the pair went on several adventures together, competing against other tamers in official tournaments, even going on to win championships, they also spent a lot of time helping law inforcement fight off criminals....such a grand life it was...<br/><br/>But that is all over now. Edward was so head strong, so determined. It was only a matter a time before he picked a fight they couldn't win. Though she fought as hard as she could, she couldn't protect him from the leutenants of some criminal organization...he was killed, murdered, and she was taken by the head of the organization as a trophy. Though his 'attention' kept her sentient, her loyalty was always to Edward, who lived on in her memories.<br/><br/>Eventually the criminal kingpin grew complacent, believing he had actually broken her. He tried to use her to rob a bank. She went along with it, until she saw her oportunity for escape. While he was busy trying have a fire fight with the police, calling for her to use her powers, she abandoned him and escaped into the wilderness, where she now wanders aimlessly, trying desperately to hold on to her last remaining shreds of sentience, and her memories of Edward.<br/><br/>Though she does have regular sexual stimulation by subdueing and having her way with feral poke girls, she can feel herself gradually slipping away. By now she's lost the ability to speak, and lately her head feels as if its in a fog, at times forgetting where she is, or what she was doing. Despite this fact, she viciously defends herself from hopeful tamers, refusing to submit to anyone besides Edward, feeling as though she would be betraying him if she did.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Oh, and Panthean, in response to your offer to take up your two poke girls....I find it difficult to get into the head of other peoples characters. I don't know what drives them, or what experiences they've had, so I find that I don't really have much to draw from....And the character of Puppy simply doesn't interest me at all. The passive, submissive type isn't really my cup of tea. Fun to have around, but not very enjoyable to play in my experience.<br/><br/>Dust on the other hand is more my style, but like I said, I'd need to know a bit more about the character before I could step up and play her."

Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed. The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails.<br/><br/>The term freerunning is sometimes used interchangeably with parkour. While freerunning is more to do with expressing yourself within your environment, parkour is aiming to get from A to B the fastest. However, there is some controversy over the exact definitions of the two terms. Though disputed, many ""parkour purists"" say that the biggest difference has to do with theatrics. Free-running involves a lot of trick moves, particularly aerial rotations and spins. Because these moves are merely showy, not economical, and do not actually help the participant to get from place to place, they are considered contrary to the nature of parkour. A free-runner may also move backwards in order to make a move as flashy as possible. This is contrary to the philosophy originally laid down by David Belle.<br/><br/>A practitioner of parkour is called a traceur if male, or traceuse if female.<br/>"

There was once green forests, now left with only twisted remains of trunks and branches.<br/><br/>Kuroda smiled to himself, thinking it was ironic: The demons had escaped from Hell to take over the earth, because they desired to have what the humans did. Now that the demons had come here, the whole world was slowly becoming more and more like Hell by the day.<br/><br/>The half-demon was frustrated by his slow progress, but knew better than to use his wings unless he had to.

It was simply a matter of time before he was attacked by a demon for his human blood, or attacked by a group of humans who hated him for his demon heritage.<br/><br/>He walked, a black cloak covering him from the neck down, his sword tucked into his belt, ready to draw at a moment's notice."

The humans were starting to anger him, and he hated being angry with noone to really blame. The resistance they faced appeared to grow stronger by the day, not weaker. He had intended to fully rule this world with his brother already, but now they were at a stalemate, his own troops helping the other side at times. This was not how it was meant to be. This war was supposed to be over already, the humans were not supposed to be this strong. The fact that his troops took some sick pleasure out of using weapons and not relying on their powers still worried him. There were entire arsenals of weapons reported missing after battles. His eyes focused on a set of flowers and they burst into flames, his body relaxing as he watched the flames slowly spread through the flowers. A smile creeped across his face as he heard a cacophony of noises coming from down the hall. His brother was stressed as well...and was certainly working that all out on someone. He just smiled, opening the closet with his mind and bringing his cloak to him. He jumped from the window and began to walk, intent on taking a view of the surroundings of his mansion, hoping to maybe make some improvements that would pacify his troops, or maybe even the slave population.<br/><br/>Shax groaned as he filled the human, his hand around her throat as he did so. This was his favorite part, their faces turning such a deep shade of red as he forced their blood to boil. He knew Nix disapproved of his slaughtering of the slave girls he bedded, but he far from cared. Nix had his ways of relaxing, but Shax preferred a much more physical approach to relaxation. He sighed as he tossed the body off of the bed, his mind sensing his brother had left the mansion. This always made them tense, their powers matching up perfectly to defend the other, the got jumpy when apart. Shax was normally the most worried since his powers required he be in close range to his enemy where as Nix had the benefit of having range. He tried to shake the uneasiness off, knowing they were safe this far behind their own lines. He growled in anger, mostly at himself. He turned to the door and yelled. ""Yomi!! Get in here!!""<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Sigmund sighed as he walked silently through the demon section. He hated this. Everything on this side of the border was being rebuilt, the demons were taking time to beautify what they wanted. On the human side, people were fighting to find water. On the demon side, fountains were running. His hand twitched on his sword as he looked around, hoping that any demons would challenge him. He knew that very few roamed this area, this area was mainly slave housing which is why he chose to prowl here. His looked at the ground as he shook his head, his mind thinking of a thousand things he would like to do if he could get far enough into the demon territory. He had heard of a mansion where some of the leaders lived. That was his current goal, to survive long enough to make it there and kill as many of them as he could."

With that it meant that one of the slaves actually had to come in and wake her if one of her brothers called for her. After all it was better to try and wake her, without telling the brothers then tell them that she is still asleep, a mistake made be few now days. One of the slaves knocked on the door ""mistress, the other masters are calling..."" the slave said to the door, but got no response. This was a new slave and didn't know how to react as she had seen how the brothers did when they were waked or someone came in. ""Excuse me mistress pardon my intrusion"" she said as she entered the room and looked to the large bed and the lump that was curled up under the sheets and sleeping soundly.<br/><br/>There were some clothes laid on a chair most likely clothes her brothers wanted her to wear, and right next to the bed was a sheathed sword. The slave looked around though focused on the lump ""excuse me mistress"" she said as she got closer and stopped at the edge of the bed. She was shaking a bit now as she reached out a hand to wake up Yomi, though even before the hand got close she had woken up and began to stir. This caused the slave to quickly back off and kind of hide away and shield herself as she didn't know what she would do. Yomi stretched out under the covers and ached her back as she slowly moved out of the covers and yawned.<br/><br/>She sat up in bed the covers falling away and revealing her naked back to the slave as Yomi slightly turned her head and eyed the slave out of the corner. The slave only bowed before hastily backing out of the room bowing the entire way out say ""sorry mistress sorry"" even before Yomi said anything. Yomi just blinked at this she was used to it by now though as she stretched out her arms as they cracked lightly as she stretched. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room it was already morning and judging by how they were acting her brother wanted her, which one she didn't know. She crawled to the end of the bed and moved over to the chair where the clothes had been prepared and looked them over.<br/><br/>She would get dress taking her time as she was still waking up putting on the underwear and the robe. She wanted more time, though the longer she waited the more upset her brother would become either killing more slave if it was Shax or who knows with Nix, besides some things can wait. She grabbed her sword and drew the blade and looked into it as she smiled before sheathing it and attaching it to her robe. She put on her slippers and moved through the halls looking around as she made her way to Shax's room as one of the slaves had told her where to go. She knocked on the door and then opened it and walked into the doorway ""What do you need Shax?"" she said in a friendly voice and smiling. She looked at the slave that looked to be dead next to the bed and sighed on the inside, though didn't say anything and just waited for Shax to say something.<br/><br/><strong>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</strong><br/><br/>It had been a long night for Chris hiding out with some of the humans in one of the few kind of cities on the human side. He was trying to make his way closer to the boarder and where the fighting was at, to give what ever help he could. He got up and quickly gathered his things and made his way out of the shanty that he was staying in, that one of the families had let him use. He didn't want to bother them or cause trouble, so he thanked them in his mind and let them sleep as he walked down the ruined street and the ruined buildings. He drew up his robes and hide himself as he walked towards the edge of this place and looked out upon the red sky and ruined earth. The demons had done much damage and caused so much destruction and killed so many.<br/><br/>He walked out into the ruins and made his way to the boarder it would be a long walk, but it would be worth it to kill those demons. He smiled at the thought and looked around at the ruins, never know when a demon would come this far into the human territory. He was always on guard and for good reason as he made his closer to the boarder. He felt the sides of his pockets as he felt the food and water, enough to make it. Once there he hoped to join up with the others fighting, but that was along way off at the boarder of the demons and humans."

They had made great strides here lately... one of the few places they had. No matter what they threw, the demons seemed to be able to throw back far more. Perhaps it was due to all the fighting. This city left little to desire after all the conflict it had seen... but they needed a victory. They needed to know they could win at least one battle... that there was hope... If nothing else, they would at least gain a foothold they could use to organize assaults from, and there were sewers under the city they could use as a base of operations.<br/><br/>He had almost gotten lost in his introspection when something moved. The few men he had with him looked around, weapons at the ready; scavenged automatic firearms from the days before the demons took hold. Sanctus's own hand reached down to his weapon. His sky blue eyes scanning the area for any further sign of movement. Suddenly one of his men opened fire as a rather feral looking beast charged at him with razor claws. The beast had him pounced before he could connect a shot however, and began clawing at him. The whole group aimed to try and get a shot, but didn't want to shoot their comrade.<br/><br/>Suddenly there was a blur, and Sanctus was standing next to the struggling pair, a swift turn and he kicked the beast off and sent it flying into the air. Before it could even land, his revolver, the Hail Mary, was drawn and aimed, three silver bullets flying into the vile creature and blowing holes in it. He cautiously walked towards it, two of his men at his sides, as the others checked on their wounded brother. The creature was still alive, writhing in pain. It stared at Sanctus, eyes full of confusion at the strength of this mortal... and fear. Demons, Sanctus found, were so sure of their own power, that they seemed to react the worst when confronted with their end.<br/><br/>""P-please... human... show mercy...""<br/><br/>A few of his men looked at him, unsure of what to do. Sanctus, however, had no doubt. Without even the slightest show of emotion in his face, he raised his gun and fired another shot directly into the demon's head, killing it.<br/><br/>""... S-sir... was that... he was surrendering...""<br/><br/>Sanctus glared at the one who said that, turning to look at the one who had gotten attacked, and was now being helped to his feet. He was severely wounded, but not mortally so. He sighed, holstering his weapon.<br/><br/>""Show a demon mercy, and that is what they will thank you with. They are animals. They are intelligent beasts, but beasts nonetheless. When is the last time a demon showed the mercy you're intending to show them?""<br/><br/>""B... but we're human... don't we have a responsibility to be...""<br/><br/>""What? Morally superior? It is a mercy to all existence to end a demon's life. Don't be fooled. The demons are here to rape, murder and torture you and everyone who have ever known. They know no love or care for anything but themselves, and in that, we are already vindicated in our actions. Every demon you spare will just kill and rape until someone else ends the foul thing. If you can't kill them without hesitation, then leave now.""<br/><br/>With that he started walking, his men pausing for a moment before following him again. Though he had only briefly tapped into his power to make that dash, he could hear the faint whisper in the back of his head... Eruo... pleading with him... to just let him kill all of them, the humans, demons, everything in the city... to devour it all... it soon faded, however.<br/><br/>He couldn't help but feel sorry for his men... he understood... many demons had vaguely humanoid appearances, they talked like humans... he could understand why some of them might actually think they were something like humans... but they hadn't seen what he had, they didn't know the depths of demon depravity like he did. They never knew his father..."

Once out of her room, he turned around and inclined his head to her. ""Good night then, Yomi."" For a moment he stood still, watching her as she walked off. Then he turned and moved further down the hallway, until he found the next door. He shrugged, and gave the knob a turn. It opened, revealing a bedroom. It was nothing as fancy as what was in Yomi's room, but it was still comfortable. The bed was a queen size, there were chester drawers against one wall, a closet, and a large mirror and window looking outside.<br/><br/>There was also a woman fixing up the bed, looking up at him. ""Oh, I'm sorry sir. The room isn't quite prepared yet.""<br/><br/>""So, this is my room then?"" The half demon asked, looking around the room.<br/><br/>""Yes, it is. As Lady Yomi's bodyguard, it was deemed appropriate that your room be right next to hers. Is it to your liking, sir?""<br/><br/>""Yeah... Yeah, it's great. Thank you."" The slave woman bowed her head, and left the room, leaving Kuroda by himself.<br/><br/>Walking around slowly, he took in every detail of the room, eventually reaching the bed. He placed his hand on the cool covers, and pressed down on it, feeling the mattress springs return the pressure. ""Wow... my first night in an actual bed..."" he whispered to himself. Reaching up towards his neck, he undid the clasp holding his cloak in place, and let it drop. He draped it over the back of a chair, propped his sword against the wall, in reach of his bed should he need it. The half-demon then slipped under the covers, feeling the sheets cover his body. It was a strange experience for him, but a very pleasant one."

The rain itself only a small trinkle for now, the dirt road turning into a small river for the most part. Sticking to the side and staying away from the mud slide of a road is the best way to go, slowing down travel for the duration of the trip.<br/><br/>Luckily nothing else happens on the long and very wet journey towards this fabled hot spring town. Coming up to the town itself, it is situated on the lower end of a very large crack in a mountain, with a very nice 200 foot tall waterfall coming down and spilling into the back of the town, with plenty of steam going everywhere and anywhere inside of the wooden walls.<br/><br/>By the time you get up to the gates, you notice plenty of men just lounging around and pretending to be bored. They don't even bother hassling the three of you for the time being, as you make your way to the gate itself. Once there you find that it is guarded by two guards wearing very light and sexy armor, both of them being female. They take a look at the three of you and how muddy and wet and miserable you all are.<br/><br/>""Oh Hello Madams! Please come into our lovely town of Hulitve.""<br/><br/>Opening the gate for the three of you without any hassle or even any inspections. The men in the back perking up as the gate opens, watching the three of you saunter in without any troubles. Inside the town now, as the buildings are all very well made and stacked very compact, with very little to no alleyways and with everything being stone covered on the roads and plenty of drainage construction. The houses themselves being at least 5 stories tall to take in the lack of space.<br/><br/>You notice quite easily as well, that there are very few men inside of the town itself. All of the guards are females, all of the shop owners when you peek into the windows are women, and most of the people walking the streets are women as well. When you do spot a man, he has plenty of very adorable and sexy woman as his escort with plenty of sexy clothes or none at all. That is another thing that is worth mentioning, clothing seems to be optional here, with a good part of the population walking around in robes or very little. The air in the town is always kept at a nice steady temperature, thanks to the hot springs itself and clever plumbing.<br/><br/>Taking a easy take ten on any sort of sense motive checks, this would all make sense if this town was just for a vacation spot for nobles. The men outside were not allowed to enter since they were not rich enough to enter in the first place, while you three were allowed in since the more women in the town the better it is for the tourism. Here in this special town a aspiring Noble has his pick of mistresses and casual fuck pets, away from the confining culture of the surrounding lands and allowed to explore more interesting sexual desires.<br/><br/>Due to it being a vacation town, there is more then enough Inns for the three of you to choose and pick out. The Inns all have their various themes to them, mostly working towards one particular sexual kink. If you can think it you can find is somewhere in this town, a Maid Inn, bunnygirl themed Inn, all bondage Inns, the Peasant girl themed Inns, and so on and so forth."

He helps others when he can, metes out justice fairly, and does his best to follow the laws of the land. Both men and woman love and sometimes lust after him but only the most interesting of women will hold his attention for more then a night. Yet beneath the friendly and care free facade is a man who bubbles with a barely contained hatred that drives almost everything he does<br/><br/>Being the bastard son of one of the many noble houses to the cities monarchy he has always lived the shadow of nobility and even with his fathers locket, the only proof of his lineage, he knows that no one will take it as legitimate proof which makes him no better then a liar. For now he just has to try and stand tall till his legend grows enough to grant him access to the Noble's homes. No one, not even Kas, knows exactly what will happen should he finally meet his father but the few times Kas has answered that question he has only said ""there will be a reckoning""<br/><br/>Background: Kas is a bastard, literally although not necessarily figuratively. Born just over two decades prior as the son of a serving girl in one of the local taverns, yet in his possession is a small locket showing a faded cloth portrait of his mother and the faded image of a man. The story as he heard it from his mother is when she was much younger a nobleman often came to the tavern and the two felt a kinship which grew into much more. Not long after his mother was pregnant with him and the realization that the noble now had a bastard son made him retreat back to the mansions, never to be heard from again.<br/><br/>Kas grew up as an ordinary strong boy yet he also had a fluid grace to him. His mothers close friend was a sergeant in the city watch and got the boy interested in swordplay early on, hoping to give him an outlet for the anger of being left by his real father as well as giving the kingdom a competent warrior. He half succeeded. While Kas became a great warrior in the eyes of the greatest knights his anger did not subside nor did he end up joining the watch, instead he hired himself out as a sellsword and over the last few years has earned himself a reputation for being brutally efficient. Living his life in the shadow of nobility has made him bitter and hateful, so much so that he wants to bring down all of the noble houses one by one so they may feel the sting of ""common folk"". At the same time, if his line was recognized and reparations made he might just forget about the entire affair<br/><br/>Alignment: NE<br/><br/>Strength 14<br/>Dexterity 14<br/>Constitution 14<br/>Intelligence 10<br/>Wisdom 10<br/>Charisma 16<br/><br/>Fortitude save: +4<br/>Reflex save: +2<br/>Will save: +0<br/><br/>Skills<br/>Disguise 4<br/>Knowledge (nobility and royalty): 1<br/>Stealth 3<br/><br/>Traits<br/>Bastard<br/><br/>Feats (*notes a fighter bonus feat)<br/>Combat reflexes<br/>Stand still<br/>Exotic weapon proficiency: bastard sword*<br/><br/>Base attack bonus: +1<br/>Full melee attack bonus: +3<br/>Full Ranged attack bonus: +3<br/>AC: 17 = +5 armor +2 dexterity<br/><br/>Weapons<br/>Bastard sword 35 gp<br/>heavy crossbow 50 gp<br/>bolts x 10 1 gp<br/><br/>Armor<br/>Scale mail 50 gp<br/><br/>Equipment<br/><br/>Money<br/><br/>164 gp"

Greylace turned out to be a bigger scoundrel than he had been.<br/>Just a lot more witless than Callic, who spent more than his fair share of time bailing the man out of trouble. Husbands, fathers, and many other male relations wanted the man dead for all sorts of reasons. Mostly dealing with his way making with various female relations.

A miscast curse due to a mispronounced word in the spell mixed with using a bit of Callic's blood sent the curse screaming towards the hapless boy.

She has an unwavering view of the world and the order of life and death and the natural cycle of things, she celebrates life and death equally and attempts to comfort others and teach them that death is not to be feared. She is dedicated to her chosen way of life as a cleric of Pharasma and seams to delight in serving her cause, her mood can change from one moment to another but she usually keeps a clear head and is never normally afraid to give her opinion on something.<br/><strong>  <br/><br/>Character Background:</strong>Nel's birth was an ill fated occasion her mother was killed while still carrying her the victim of a vile attack upon the local populace and the church where she was seeking refuge.  Nel is unaware of the circumstances of her birth she believes her mother died in labour, but the truth is far more horrid and sinister. Nel's mother was killed before she gave birth to Nel and she was only brought into the world by the aid of the Cleric's of the Church, she was not expected to live and appeared to be dead when they removed her from her mother. The appearance of and song of a whippoorwill however convinced one of the Cleric's that there was hope for the child, after reviving her and bathing her they cleansed the sickly child and blessed her in Pharasma's  name.<br/><br/>This was not the end of the tale however and Nel's existence in the world was far from assured she  was both quite and frail and many of the church believed she would not last. But one Priestess cared for her as her own and took the continued sightings and song of a whippoorwill as a sign of pleasure from there Goddess. She believed that Nel's was not meant for death yet and that she should be given ever advantage at life for if she was meant to die then Pharamsma would of took her already as she had her mother. Of course her mother had not died of natural causes but there was no chance for her but the child deserved a chance. Unfortunately the vile forces that had attacked her mother and the village where not content with what they had already accomplished, at night they continued to attack and infiltrate the town guided by some vile force the church seamed to bear the brunt of most of the attacks but was the safest ground.<br/><br/>After a time with no cease in the attacks and more death and tragedy the Church commissioned a band of adventurers and a Paladin of Pharamsma. They where to lead in the destruction of the vile undead and seek out the forces behind the attacks upon the town. The attacks upon the town fell as the group hunted and destroyed the undead plaguing the town but there source seamed a mystery.   As the attacks begun to fail more formidable forces seamed to plague the town and the party suffered it first lost at the whiles of a seductive and deadly vampire, the remaining heroes learned that the vampire was responsible for many of the deaths in the village and that the nearby graveyards and cairns where being disturbed and pilfered.<br/><br/>The heroes then set out to attempt to recover there fallen comrade who had be taken so swiftly from them, they found them at rest awaiting the curse of  undeath to fall guarded by many a foul mindless servant of undeath.  The battle was slow and tiresome but they escaped without a loss and put there fallen comrade to rest before it was to late. When they returned to the village however the found the village under siege by yet more foul minions and the church a flame and under attack once more.<br/>Again they weathered the storm until sun break and then returned to the church to consult with the clerics. One of the priesthood had communed with the Goddess requesting aide and prophecy to help unveil the vile menace behind these attacks.  What was discovered had shocked the clergy and they set upon a plan to save the village and little baby Nel. The vision had been unclear but it had pointed to the newborn as to the cause of the attacks, it had shown the vampire and a dark decaying figure seeking out the child and destroying and burning the village to get to her. Why exactly was not known but many believed that whatever was behind the attacks had perhaps planed to capture Nel before and that the mother's death or situation was perhaps not so random or meaningless at all.<br/><br/>The heroes  and priesthood all agreed upon a plan the priestess caring for the child and the Paladin would take the child and flee to a larger covenant with her. Meanwhile the heroes would stay and protect the town encase the undead returned another night.<br/><br/>Nel was raised unaware of such things she lived within the covenant until for most of her life growing up in safety and with the priesthood of Pharamsma all around her, teaching and helping her bloom into a young adult. Nel never lost her frailty or ghostly looks many whispered about her past   in secret and suspected that she had come so close to death as to be marked by it, her health and appearance where certainly affected and she seamed to have been ageing at a far more rapid pace.  Many visitors to the covenant or those that did not know Nel mistook her for much older than she was. On her sixteenth year she was ordained as a true cleric of Pharamsma and she set out into the world to find a place for herself hoping to lend comfort and joy to others lives and serve the lady Pharamsma always. On her journeys Nel heard rumour of the offer of Baron Utilinus and journeyed to Sargava to learn of the needs and assist if she could, she was drawn to the founding of a new settlement and perceived signs and opportunity. She would go forth and take Pharamsma's word and comfort and joy with her to mark the passage of the newly founded settlement and the losses it might suffer.<br/><strong><br/>Character goals:</strong>To make a place for herself and Pharamsma in the new settlement, to serve and further the roles of midwife and burial rites. The keep a log of the lives and deaths of those whom make the settlement there home. To protect and nurture the settlement from harm providing sanctuary and wisdom to those that seek it, to root out and destroy any undead abominations that mock the cycle of life. The spend her moments of fleeting life well and leave behind something that brings joy, wisdom or sanctuary to others.<br/>"

Standing close to six feet, her smooth, pale skin stands out remarkably with the emphasis of her short crop red tresses. On her brow she wears a gold circlet to restrain the loose curls, to reveal emerald-blue eyes with a depth of emotion waiting to be discovered or displayed.<br/><br/>In casual mien, she is fond of dresses as much as the next feminine beauty - preferring soft, gauzy materials of various styles and colors. For a normal day, she typically wears a mini-skirt or Daisy Dukes with a printed baby-doll t-shirt and sneakers and sometimes a few bits of jewelry complete the look. Only one thing remains constant – a Nordic rune at the centerpiece on a neck hugging torque."

Then came the shaking and she dropped her phone. She was too busy rattling to grab for it at first, then she saw the distinctive cloud. She might have paid only passing attention in school but she knew what a cloud like that meant. She swallowed heavily, grabbed her phone, and clicked it off. If the magazine wanted to complain they could take it up with her manager.<br/><br/>She was only too glad to get off the plane. Which was strange. Normally she liked being airborne. As she collected her bags (and her bodyguards), she noticed the woman with the sign. She turned to her guards and said in Japanese ""Make your arrangements to follow me. I'll be in the limo. No arguments."" Then she took her bags and headed over to the limo, still in the light-reflecting, somewhat revealing top and skirt she had worn to the signing. There was a strange smell that was luring her.<br/><br/>When she got in and looked at all the strange people, she tilted her head slightly. ""Pardon my familiarity but I feel as if I recognize you all from somewhere."" She looked at Jack in particular. ""I think I've heard of you in some of the industry magazines. A rock star, yes?

Big things ARE happening here, for I have arrived!""<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Razzly couldn't stiffle the giggle as she watched her goofy boyfriend strike a pose.  ""Careful, if your ego grows, you won't fit inside this Demonspawn,"" she warned.  She grabbed a local map of the city from the glove box and slammed the passenger door shut. To spite her, it slowly creaked back open.  After considerable effort, she got it to shut fully, and took a look at the map.  ""There's a park near. I could use the walk. Shall we?""<br/>-------------------------<br/>A short while after the RV passed by Sarge, a rather unremarkable sedan with no license plates and tinted windows passed down the road. Though it wasn't obvious to most people, it gave off a chilly feel to it, as if whomever inside it was someone not to be trifled with.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/>As Ariya was walking through the city, she could glean little bits of conversation from the random passers-by.  The general mood they gave off was of anticipation, though of what they couldn't guess.  It was almost like how animals know when a big storm is coming. At the moment, two teenage girls were walking along.<br/>""What did you think about that speech,""<br/>""I dunno, I think they're all looney.""<br/>""I know, me too.  As if the world could change in an instant.""<br/>""yeah, people will believe anything.  I just wish they wouldn't take up so much space at the park. I was really looking forward to relaxing there, but they totally killed the mood.""<br/>----------------------------<br/>In the park, a growing number of people were gathering around a podium. It looked like a crowd was gathering around a speaker of some sort, though Mikoto couldn't make out what they were saying from where she was.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/>Though Talon didn't know it, he was being regarded by a pair of careful eyes.<br/>Steathily, the owner of the eyes approached the man."

All his stuff was still there. He couldn't have been out that long. He slung the jacket on and covered up the burned shirt. He'd check it out more completely when he got back to his apartment. That was about when he noticed that a lot of other people were also on the ground and starting to come to. ""What just happened to everyone"" He said stunned as he looked around.

Do let me know if I've messed anything up.<br/><br/><strong>Name</strong>: Unfettered Joy of the Final Darkness<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 34<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Uninterested (Formerly Bisexual)<br/><strong>Caste</strong>: Dusk<br/><strong>Motivation</strong>: Destroy the impurities and changes forced upon his mind.<br/><br/><strong>Description</strong>: Short and lean with a cheerful smile eternally plastered across his pleasant if intermittently scarred features and a stance that radiates surety to a truly stunning degree, Joyous Edge hardly seems the kind to advocate (and commit) the violence that is second nature to any deathknight. Unusually for a Dusk caste, he lacks the blatant trappings of militancy, instead preferring to hide his weapons until they are needed. To aid this, he wears heavy, concealing clothing in all but the hottest of climates, tucking small weapons into long sleeves and folded furs.<br/><br/>Indeed, the massive bulk of clothing covering every inch of his skin (with the sole exception of his face) serves as the greatest warning of his nature. Though impressive in its bulk and density, it is usually made up of a ratty collection of scavenged rags, cloaks, robes and vests, all torn in places and bearing suspicious stains. A large, circular shield of soulsteel lies strapped to his back, though he wraps the shield in cloth on any occasion when its material might raise the ire of others.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Surprisingly, Joy’s apparent personality usually lines up decently with his omnipresent smile. He’s unflinchingly cheerful, brave and occasionally quite charming, even under the most stressful of circumstances. For people whom he considers sufficiently innocent and pure, he can be a great help, even if it often ends up being in a manner they don’t anticipate or full appreciate. Great injustices and infractions against natural laws (whether of the Underworld or Creation) can occasionally raise his ire, but for the most part, he remains quite pleasant, even while explaining why someone has to die.<br/><br/>But, then again, he is one of Oblivion’s champions, so this display couldn’t possibly be more than a ruse.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Aen Tark was the spitting image of the romanticized bandit lord, a happy-go-lucky fellow who stole from the rich, skillfully seduced hostages without the slightest hint of coercion and extorted only a tiny sum in return for the protection he offered. He did not so much terrorize his tiny corner of the Scavenger Lands as playfully rule it from outside the law. And for a while, it worked, due in no small part to a natural penchant for leadership, peerless skill with a sword and sheer, insane courage.<br/><br/>Restraint, however,  was never Aen’s strong suit. He loved drink and drugs and women and all manner of indulgences unfit for polite company. While he did not gamble often, an objective observer would most likely say this was more due to massive losses whenever he made the attempt than any ability to rein in his desire for risk and pleasure. While a level of generosity with his men kept him afloat for a time, eventually even his closest companions could not help but take advantage of their leader’s weaknesses to coax greater shares and privileges from him.<br/><br/>Ultimately, they brought about his doom. During one of Aen’s drunken binges, an ambitious friend convinced him to take his work to a higher level and attack a Guild caravan. Previously, Aen had wisely rejected such targets, knowing that a couple dozen brave, greedy mortal men were unlikely to overcome the Guild’s hardened mercenary guards. Even once sober again, he refused to go back on his word, lest he look dishonest, pliable or weak, not knowing that his secret had slipped through his fingers long ago.<br/><br/>The “friend” in question was more ambitious than Aen had estimated. He promptly sold Aen out to the Guild, giving them every detail needed to crush the bandits thoroughly enough that they would never recover. Aen died in the Guild’s counter-ambush, along with the bulk of his men, flesh pierced by arrows and rent by sword blows.<br/><br/>Despite the fact that he shares most of his history quite freely, Joy does not discuss what the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears said to him as he laid bleeding and broken amid the scattered ruins of his ambitions. Some guess that he finds shame in whatever bargains and oaths she forced him into or that he cherishes the moment for some reason or another. Whatever the cause, the nameless new deathknight rose again, shedding wounds like water and turning on his would-be killers with mad glee. As an additional token of his new loyalty, he spent another week or so rooting through his former territory and murdering his former friends.<br/><br/>He traveled to his new mistress’s side himself, suffering through the now-abhorrent deluge of life essence and forcing himself to abstain from any more killing for fear of leaving an easily-followed path of corpses. His indoctrination went well, at first. He accepted the five Understandings quickly, kept up up with all of the Lover’s edicts as well as his relative inexperience would allow him and eagerly accepted the bizarre indulgences she granted him. Then it was time to present him to the Neverborn.<br/><br/>The event that granted Joy his new name also shifted his mindset radically. He still loves She Who Must Be Obeyed, but it is not the same slavish devotion as before. He obeys the maddening murmurs of the Neverborn first and foremost and his mistress as a distant second. More disturbingly still to the deathlord and her other, more powerful, servants, he seems to fear them less and less every day. He now rejects the same grotesque pleasures he had happily accepted before. If anything, he seems subtly disgusted by them.<br/><br/>Still, he has maintained his near-perfect obedience and competence when under the gaze of his mistress or her minions. The Lover planned for this eventuality, however, and continues to manipulate him. Whether a enthusiastic hedonist or self-righteous ascetic, faithful slave or foolish rebel, she will see him serve her until the end. For now, it suits her to act as though she has little control over him, and so Joy receives very little support from his mistress.<br/><br/><strong>Attributes</strong><br/>Strength 3        Charisma 4        Perception 2<br/>Dexterity 5      Manipulation 2   Intelligence 2<br/>Stamina 3        Appearance 3     Wits 3<br/><br/><strong>Abilities</strong><br/>Dusk           Midnight               Daybreak      Day                  Moonshadow<br/>Melee 5     |Integrity* 5         |Lore 1          |Athletics* 3   |Linguistics 1<br/>Thrown 3  |Presence* 3         |Occult* 2     |Awareness 1<br/>War 3       |Resistance* 5                           |Larceny 1<br/>|Survival 1<br/>*notes a favored ability<br/><br/><strong>Backgrounds</strong><br/><br/>Whispers 3 - The Neverborn rent great holes in Joy’s psyche and they continue to guide him through these wounds.<br/>Artifact 2 (Soulsteel Daiklave: “Mercy’s Caress”) - His sole gift from the Lover, Joy guards this blade jealously, often keeping it hidden in nonexistence so that none might take it from him.<br/>Manse 1 (Memorial Iron Hearthstone) - Joy stole this from a mortal thaumaturge he killed while doing some work for a Daybreak caste comrade during his training, it is now set in Mercy’s Caress.<br/>Artifact 1 (Soulsteel Breastplate: “Agonizing Continuance”) - A reward from the same Daybreak for pacification of a troublesome infestation of spectres during which Joy nearly died.

25416,[Exalted: Running the Lion]  XP and character thread,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=79588.0,"21-08-2010, 16:07:18",Hikari,"<em>Elegy for the Damned</em><br/><strong>Caste:</strong>Day<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Concept:</strong><em>It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathknight</em><br/><strong>Motivation:</strong>To avenge herself by utterly destroying the rogue Abyssal Ravenous Murder of Black-Winged Fate.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong><br/><br/>Elegy is slender and wispy, her frame has been visibly honed to near-perfection in flexibility, agility, balance, and speed.  Her strength, however, is wholly supernatural; though in superb physical condition, she lacks the sheer size and musculature to match the sort of terrifying raw power she effortlessly displays.<br/><br/>There is every indication that Elegy would have been a lovely young woman if she hadn't accepted the Black Exaltation.  The dark gifts have made her breathtaking instead.  Her skin has become a flawless porcelain, her lips purple-black with a natural sheen, like smoothed obsidian, or perhaps as though freshly wet with blood.  Her hair is cropped near the shoulders, jet-black and often kept in slight disarray, her bangs splashing haphazardly across her face.  Her eyes are fathomlessly deep pools of coal black, reflecting nothing, muted with a dusting of deep, royal lavender from her eyelids to her brows.  Her features are sharp--aristocratic, in the sense of Dynastic heritage--with high-arching brows and raised cheekbones.<br/><br/>Normally, Elegy wears a hooded black cloak common to funerary hermits who live in the far Southeast, where mausoleum-city necropoli are still common.  Underneath, unless dressed to ""blend in"", she generally wears only intricate wrappings of pristine white bandages; these are often as much functional as part of the trappings of the Underworld, as her Air Dragon Style can take a considerable toll on her body.<br/><br/>Elegy recovered a set of Yoroi Rapid-Response Armor from her family's vault, chosen over the few other surviving models there for its ability to operate without upkeep.  This lack of maintenance is obvious: the armor is chipped, dented, cracked, and indellibly stained with blood, with the moonsilver and jade long-since tarnished, dulled, or simply faded into a spectral gray.  Adorned with the full helmet, she looks like nothing so much as a phantasmal soldier from a bygone age, a walking suit of armor whose owner perished, forgotten, in a war no one remembers.<br/><strong><br/>Personality:</strong><br/><br/>Even for an Abyssal, Elegy is disturbingly detached from most of the events that take place around her.  Though many deathknights feign an air of indifference or callousness, they are usually as prone to the opposite of those emotions they disdain: where a normal person might feel sympathy, they delight in sadism; where a mortal might experience gut-wrenching terror, they find a heady rush of excitement at the inevitability of doom; where despair, elation; where love, disgust and searing hate.<br/><br/>Not so for Elegy.  The majortiy of the time, she experiences no strong feelings or impulses whatsoever.  To the outside observer, it appears as if she has no concern for the world, and perhaps doesn't even consider those around her ""real"".  The truth is the opposite: to her mind, Elegy is already dead and gone, existing in this world only as a dreadful revenent bent on revenge.  Everything else she can easily regard with cold discernment.<br/><br/>This does mean that under those circumstances where she sees her goal in sight, she can easily become completely, irrationally tempestuous.  The raw intensity of her single-minded devotion and fearlessness brought on by her fatalistic world-view can be slightly disturbing even to other deathknights when roused.<br/><br/>Elegy is not stupid.  She realizes that she is no match for The Lion and cannot, as of the current time, afford his ire.  Likewise, she realizes that the Walker in Darkness is playing at something far more complex than he lets on, and is fairly certain that it will raise an obstacle in her path that will need to be dealt with.  She is capable of working within the system set by The Lion to accomplish her goals, at least until such a time until she feels her ""liege"" is no longer needed.<br/><strong><br/>Background:</strong><br/><br/>Centuries ago, a First Age Lunar created the Bulwarks of the Four Directions as a last-ditch effort to stave off what he saw as the inevitability of the Wyld overwhelming the Realm's defense systems.  Deceptive in name, the Bulwarks were not towering fortresses or pieces of grandiose First Age artifice; rather, they were small villages secreted away in the furthest reaches of Creation, at the edge of the Wyld.<br/><br/>These villages were intended not as first-line defenses--they were too small, and almost entirely populated by mortals--but rather as breeding grounds for the evolution of fit and hale humans not only resistant to the Wyld taint, but also tested by survival of the horrors spewed out by the Bordermarches...  that is to say, excellent would-be candidates to serve as recipient's of Luna's blessing.<br/><br/>Years ago, when the Realm still had the might to concern itself with such far-flung matters, a Wyld Hunt was dispatched to slay the Anathema who served as patron of the Bulwark of the East.  The hunters, led by an Immaculate monk and his disciples of the Whispering Wind, were ultimately unsuccessful.  Rather than return to the Blessed Isle in shame, they chose to remain in the Bulwark as its protectors and enforcers, lending Terrestrial might to the defense of the largely mortal populace.<br/><br/>This was the beginning of the Whispering Wind Clan.  The clan lived in a compound cordoned off from the rest of the village due to lingering suspicions on the part of the Lunar patron, and to prevent their dragon's blood from ""tainting"" potential candidates for future Children of Luna.  They kept mostly to themselves so as to maintain the purity of their bloodlines.  This is the family to which Elegy, in her past life as Yukikaze of the Whispering Wind, was born.<br/><br/>The youngest of two siblings born to the purest and most prominent breeding of the clan, Elegy and her elder brother were raised under the weight of immense expectations.  Not only was she trained, as with every other child in the village, in the ways of the wood and survival, but also groomed from a very young age to inherit the Immaculate martial arts passed down through her family upon inevitable exaltation.  The burden was one she carried well: among the entire village, only one other youth--an orphan of Raksha invasions named Blazing Temper of the Unmatched Beast--could even come close to matching her.<br/><br/>The pressure seemed too much for her older brother, however.  In secret, he forged a pact with the Walker in Darkness; for immortality and unfathomable power, he agreed to sever his ties with everything in his mortal life.  And he did so--thoroughly.  On a cold moonless night, he slaughtered the entire Whispering Wind clan to the man--or rather the girl, as Elegy was the only one he spared.  He told her that he did this because she was beneath notice, unworthy even of contempt; there was no need to slay her to sever his ties with his old life, because there were no bonds between them to break.<br/><br/>Among the flocks of carrion birds and the nightmarish carnage wrought by her brother, Elegy's mind snapped.  The young woman became convinced that her life had ended, for all intents and purposes, and was entirely without meaning; the only reason she continued to exist was to exact retribution on her deranged brother.<br/><br/>Madly driven in her mission, she raided the manse of her fallen family for its secrets: the weapons, armor, and scrolls of Immaculate martial arts passed down from the monk who first came to slay the Bulwark's Anathema.  She withdrew completely from society, living and training tirelessly in the nightmare-haunted corridors of the Whispering Wind compound.  Before long, the only one in the Bulwark who even tried to keep contact with her was Blazing Temper, who seemed to fret increasingly over her consuming obsession.<br/><br/>As she began to teeter on the edge of despair, having realized that she was plateauing at the limits of what her mortal body was capable of--even a hundred years would never be enough to cross the ocean between her strength and her brother's unholy proewss!--the Walker in Darkness returned to offer his services once more.  Of her, he demanded a far less exacting toll; she had already given up on the world of the living in his eyes, so she had only to seek him in the Underworld and offer her fealty, and the power to overcome her brother would be hers.<br/><br/>The only one who noticed when she stole away in the night was Blazing Temper, and he pursued her tirelessly through the eternal twilight of the skyless jungle canpoy.  He caught her at the edge of the nearby shadowland where the Bulwark interred its dead; he knew she meant to make a similar dark pact to what her brother had, and he had every intention of stopping her.  He was even prepared to use force, if necessary.<br/><br/>He was not prepared for her to respond with lethal force in return.  Against a roughly even-matched opponent with killing intent, he could not hope to win; she struck him down with what should have been a fatal blow.  To her surprise, Blazing Temper exploded with glorious and terrible celestial light, exalting in the favor of the Unconquered Sun before her very eyes in the moment that his mind began to fade into unconsciousness from shock.  The resurgent persona of the long-lost god-king within him came to the fore in his absence, and battled back against her with a power utterly unmatched; in moments, she was hurled, utterly broken and helpless, into a shadowy moonlit lake.<br/><br/>As she sank into darkness, she could only reflect on her failures--her body too broken to even drag herself back up toward the surface--and watch the light fade as water filled her lungs.  A voice spoke to her from the depths, a scathing whisper cursing her impotence and frailty, and assuring her respite--from her mortal weakness, from the despair of her impossible crusade, from her inevitable death...  at least, for a while.  ""A while"" was all she would require, if the promise of power held true; she readily agreed.<br/><br/>Reborn Elegy for the Damned, she emerged from the bloodied and disquiet lake in full command of her new powers.  Blazing Temper, distraught with what he had done after returning to his senses, once again found himself outmatched.  This time, though, she couldn't bring herself to land the killing blow--no matter how much the searing, maddening whispers of her new masters demanded it from the echoes of the pit.<br/><br/>To Elegy's surpise, however, it was not the Walker who came for her in the depths, but The First and Forsaken Lion.  The Walker in Darkness seems strangely undisturbed by this ""poaching"" of a prospective servitor, and equally calm about the fact that her older brother--Ravenous Murder of Black-Winged Fate--has gone rogue.<br/><br/>There's obviously some game afoot, but for the moment Elegy is unconcerned with their duplicity; The Lion wants Ravenous Murder found and possibly even killed, for whatever reasons of his own, and that's good enough for her.  Of course, The Lion suspects that Walker is scheming something as well, so he keeps on guard for treachery from Elegy the best way he knows how: by keeping his grip on her leash tight.<br/><br/>For the moment, Elegy is content to master her powers and scour the Underworld for signs of her quarry while serving in the capacity as The Lion's enforcer.  The young deathknight holds no particular love or deep loyalties to him, of course, of which he is well aware; she is among his least favored and trusted agents, desirable only for her unique skillset and keeping her out of the Walker's grasp.  Likewise, she expects little, if any, support from her liege, and has been working tirelessly to marshal the strength she'll need on her own terms.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Attributes:</strong><br/><br/>Strength ****<br/>Dexterity *****<br/>Stamina **<br/>Manipulation **<br/>Charisma *<br/>Appearance ****<br/>Intelligence **<br/>Perception ***<br/>Wits ****<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><br/>Athletics **** [Caste]<br/>Awareness *** [Caste]<br/>Dodge ***** [Caste]<br/>Stealth ***** [Caste]<br/>Integrity *** [Favored]<br/>Resistance *** [Favored]<br/>Martial Arts ***** [Favored]<br/>Thrown ** [Favored]<br/>Survival ** [Favored]<br/>Lore *<br/>Presence **<br/><br/><strong>Virtues:</strong><br/><br/>Conviction *****<br/>Compassion * (Flawed)<br/>Valor ****<br/>Temperance *<br/><br/>Willpower ********<br/>Resonance<br/>Essence ***<br/>Personal 17<br/>Peripheral 39 (23)<br/><strong><br/>Intimacies:</strong><br/>Ravenous Murder of Black-Winged Fate (Hate)<br/><br/><strong>Backgrounds:</strong><br/><br/>Yoroi Rapid-Response Armor (Artifact) ***<br/>Infinite Jade Chakram (Artifact) **<br/>Gem of Perfect Form (Manse) ***<br/><br/><strong>Derangements:</strong><br/><br/>Obsession: Revenge (Debility)<br/>Sociopathic Detachment (Deficiency)<br/><br/><strong>Bonus points:</strong><br/><br/>7 for +1 Essence<br/>1 for +1 Athletics<br/>2 for +2 Dodge<br/>2 for +2 Stealth<br/>2 for +2 Martial Arts<br/>3 for +1 Valor<br/>1 for +1 Background (Manse)<br/><br/><strong>Charms:</strong><br/><br/>Air Dragon's Sight<br/>Wind Dragon Speed<br/>Breath-Seizing Technique<br/>Shrouding the Body and Mind<br/>Air Dragon Form<br/>Cloud Treading Method<br/>Thunderclap Kata<br/>Lightning Strike Style<br/>Flitting Shadow Form<br/>Flickering Wisp Technique<br/>Shadow Cloak Method<br/>Unseen Wisp Method"

Those that hoard it and use it for only their happiness without regard for others deserve to have it taken away<br/><br/>Description: While she once wore face paint to cover the physical and mental scars now the Mask’s skin has turned as pale as the moon. Still she often applies small dots of red along her eyes and lips to further accent fear in her persona. Having long black as night and blood stained hair she is a woman with peerless beauty, charm, and wit.<br/><br/>Her clothes often vary but normally the mask wears a stunning black Kimono with red trim which reveals her near perfect figure and a hint of cleavage. She almost always wears a white and red Kitsune mask over her face, the only time it is ever removed is when she wants a victim to see her gaze of despair and smile of pure glee.<br/><br/>Personality: Cryptic and creepy are the best words to describe the personality of the mask but only when its time for someone to die. More often she portrays herself as charming and witty with a silver tongue that could turn even the deathlords against their Neverborn masters.<br/><br/>Background: Around twenty years ago the petite and whimsical Nuriko was sold off to slavery by her father and mother in the small trade city of Meclete mostly out of a means to get rid of her and get ahead. She was to become a serving girl, maid, and entertainer for one of the more wealthy local merchants. While her job did entail all those things when she came of age the merchant also forced her to be a whore for himself and his guests.<br/><br/>Overtime shame and despair set in till there seemed to be no escape but rather then her mind splitting she began to deal with it in an odd way. When she was forced to endure the deep sorrow and despair of the life that was forced on her she began to smile and later on to laugh. When she could she wore thick white paint on her face, dotted with red to reflect a death masque. It was her own way of showing others that she no longer felt alive anymore.<br/><br/>Eventually the abuse grew even greater as the merchant and guests who once found her pleasing soon found her repulsive. No mere face paint could cover the bruises and scars inflicted upon her so one night she picked up a small mask of a Kitsune and put it on, never removing it again in public.<br/><br/>As fate would have it as she accompanied the merchant lord and his caravan of goods they ran into the Lover Clad himself. What the deathlord was doing on that road is, has always been, and may forever be a mystery to all but without a doubt the caravan and its people were destroyed. In the moment before her death Nuriko picked up a small knife and attacked, knowing she could not escape she chose to face the opponents herself. The Lover clad simply grabbed hold of her by the throat and forced her into the ground, slowly strangling her. Even in those moments she could help but smile and laugh at him but as her voice echoed eerily in the night the two of them talked in hushed whispers as well. Moments later she rose again with the symbol of the midnight caste on her forehead. The young woman called Nuriko had perished by the Lover Clad's hand but now the laughing mask of despair had exalted. Without a care she took the spoils from the merchant’s caravan and used them to build her own merchant empire<br/><br/>Since she began her service to the Deathlord she has spent considerable time in nearby villages, towns, and cities spreading her own theological message that pleasure is the highest form of good in life. Thus she has birthed a cult that calls itself the Order of bliss. Most of the time the order spends it days in long orgies of animalistic lust and recruits new members into the fold but should it be needed they have a variety of other uses as spies, saboteurs, and more. Most recently she has been assigned to the Lion, many think shes a spybut in truth shes recieved no such orders from her true master<br/><sup><br/>Strength•••      Charisma •••      Perception••<br/>Dexterity•••      Manipulation ••••   Intelligence••<br/>Stamina•••      Appearance ••••   Wits•••<br/><br/>                                   Abilities<br/>Dusk                 Midnight                 Daybreak<br/>Archery              |Integrity ••             |Crafts       <br/>Martial Arts*•••   |Performance •••      |Investigation •<br/>Melee                |Presence •••••        |Lore •<br/>Thrown              |Resistance ••          |Medicine ••<br/>War                   |Survival                 |Occult •<br/><br/>Day         Moonshadow<br/>Athletics*••      |Bureaucracy•<br/>Awareness•      |Linguistics*•<br/>Dodge*••••      |Ride<br/>Larceny           |Sail:<br/>Stealth            |Socialize*•••<br/><br/>*notes a favored ability<br/><br/>Backgrounds<br/>Artifact ••<br/>Cult ••<br/>Resources ••••<br/>Mentor ••<br/><br/>Virtues<br/>Compassion••<br/>Conviction•••<br/>Temperance••<br/>Valor••<br/><br/>(Permanent) Essence: 3<br/><br/>Personal: 14<br/>Perphirial: 35<br/>Commited: <br/><br/>Willpower 5<br/>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>                               War Gear<br/><br/>Weapon: Soulsteel Slayer Khatar Speed 5 Accuracy +0 Damage +2L Defense +3 Rate 3 Tags M <br/>Armor: <br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>                               Health<br/>-0 (Bruised)    : []<br/>-1 (Hurt)        : [][][]<br/>-2 (Wounded) : [][][][][]<br/>-4 (Crippled)   : [][][][][]<br/>Incapacitated   : []<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>                             Charms<br/>Charms: (Be sure to include Cost, Duration and Effect)<br/>Second Presence Excellency (2m per success)<br/>Poisoning the will (10m 1wp)<br/>Heartless fiend insinuation (2m)<br/>Sanity Eroding Diatribe (5m 1 wp)<br/><br/>Morbid Fascination style (5m)<br/><br/>First Dodge Excellency (1m per bonus die)<br/>Bonus: Flittering Shadow form (1m)<br/>Bonus: Flickering wisp technique (3m)<br/><br/>Second Martial arts Excellency (2m per success)<br/>Ravaging blow (2m)<br/>Foe blinding Jab (3m)<br/><br/>Exquisite etiquette style (1m)<br/><br/>Combos<br/>To Cripple the prey: Second martial arts excellency + Ravaging blow + Foe blinding jab (2m per success +5m)<br/></sup><br/><br/>Bonus points<br/>Essence 3 = 7<br/>Combos = 3<br/>Dodge 3 and 4 = 2<br/>Presence 4 and 5= 2<br/>Resources 4 = 1<br/>"

His skin is a pale white, crossed with the scars earned over a lifetime of work in the forge and work in the deepest dungeons and trap-filled lairs he could access. His hair is black and matches his eyes, tied back in a ponytail. He has a bushy beard surrounding his lower face. Most of the time he can be seen wearing a bleached tyrant lizard skull atop his head that covers his entire upper face. He favors utilitarian clothes for travel and working in the labs or the forges, disdaining finery save when his master commands. Then he'll awkwardly don his best formal attire and glower uncomfortably.<br/><br/>History: The Catastrophic Engineer of Infinite Agonies started his existence as Terat Osis, son of the blacksmith for a small village in the southeast named Omon. It wasn't much as civilization went, just a small burg bordering a jungle. The only trade it saw was from travelers stocking up before striking eastward and from the odd Scavenger Lord who explored the jungles for ancient ruins. Osis was apprenticed to his father at an early age and learned the art of forging and repairing simple tools and devices. It was a sleepy, dull life and Osis always dreamed of something better. When he could slip away from his father's stern but loving hand, he would listen to the caravaners's tales and dream of exploring the world beyond Omon or listen to what scraps of knowledge the savants would drop to a curious boy.<br/><br/>When he was fifteen a bout of malaria hit the village, killing Osis's parents and many of his friends and family. He survived and by necessity became the new village blacksmith. As the years passed and he came into his manhood he discovered that his keen mind made him a good match for patching up the various caravans that came through and that he had a certain knack with devices of all sorts. He became known to the travelers for being a fair and capable worker in time came to the attention of a scavenging company out of Nexus. They undertook forays into the local jungle at the behest of paying customers for rare artifacts and treasures and found that Osis's talent with devices to be useful. In time they took to hiring him on for some missions. They didn't always strike treasure, but Osis was capable enough to forge fakeries for the clientele. When not working part-time for the company, he led a simple life in the village, taking a wife and having a son of his own eventually.<br/><br/>Things all changed when he turned 36. The scavenging company had been caught selling one of his fakes in Great Forks and had scattered for their lives. The leader of the company had been caught and executed and his successor was someone Osis had had friction with in the past. On their next run to recoup their losses (and reputation), he sent Osis in to an uncovered tomb to investigate for traps. Simple enough it seemed to Osis. But what he didn't know was that the company leader had already sneaked in the night before and discovered a trap. By luck he hadn't triggered it but he figured the ""backwoods rube"" wouldn't be nearly as clever as his sophisticated self. Just in case, he covered the trap. When Osis found and disabled the device, the leader was left fuming. So when the group discovered the treasure they sought, he deliberately shoved Osis into another trap that had been disabled and reactivated it before the man could respond. The troupe was shocked by his brutality but when the leader commented that it was one less share they'd need to divvy up, the others went along with it. Osis was left to die, impaled on an Essence-charged lance.<br/><br/>As he hung there, gasping his last bloody breaths, he began to regret that he'd never see his sweet wife Syl again, or his son Coten. He regretted a lot of things. Mistakes made. Chances missed. Falling in with this damned greedy crew, even if their former leader had been a decent sort with him. In the midst of this litany a strange, whispering voice came to him. It asked ""would you like a second chance?"" Osis thought he was delusional but then the pain stopped for a time. He hung between life and death, with the voice his only companion. It offered him a chance for revenge, for the glory that had been denied him in his tiny little backwater, and for secrets and knowledge that would make the world tremble. All he had to sacrifice a few little things. Given the choice between that or dying in some gods-forsaken crypt on a spike, he was happy to accept.<br/><br/>The scavengers who betrayed him never knew what hit them. He used the lance and his bare hands to tear them asunder, claiming their treasure as a touch of irony. On his way back home (on foot because he'd killed the pack animals in his frenzy), he was attacked by a tyrant lizard and discover the amazing hardiness his new unlife granted him. He speared the great beast through the throat and it choked on it's own blood. Then he ripped the head off and claimed the skull as his trophy. He returned to Omon and tore through his hometown, devouring what he could not kill outright. As an act of mercy, he finished Syl and Coten quickly and cleanly. He wandered, lost for a time, until being found by nemissary agents of the First and Forsaken Lion, the one who had sent his Black Exaltation forth in search of a host. They brought him to Stygia for his indoctrination, a time he still looks upon with wonder and dread. Once he was formally accepted and knighted into the Lion's service, he took up his duties as craftsman for the Lion's legions of the dead.<br/><br/>Personality: Gruff and distant, the Engineer is much like his mortal father was. He's an intelligent man who doesn't care much for social niceties. He does have emotions and he's not an aesthetic by choice. He just prefers to focus on his next brilliant idea or flagging project than to get involved in such things as talking and playing at social politics. The way he sees it, he was given a mission to end the lie that is life and he'd rather focus on that.

She was a woman of average height and slightly muscular build possessing the kind of body that was both impossibly alluring and deadly at the same time. Her black and red Kimono flowing around her and covering all but her neck down to just a hint of cleavage as well as her hands. Every inch of her skin was as white as the palest of moons and her hair was as black as the Lion's own armor yet stained with red streaks of blood. However the most notable feature of all was the mask upon her face, a mask made of whtie jade in the shape of a Kitsune and with red streaks painted upon it.<br/><br/>She kneeled there and listened intently to his commands and as the Lover clad's name came into the coversation she thought back to to her exaltation and the many nights she had spent in the lovers bed. If at any time the Mask could be seen as normal it was when she talked about the Lover clad, a woman who she herself was deeply in love with. Those few moments she was like a giggling school girl rather then the strange and broken soul she usually seemed to be. Oh why did she have to be sent to this Deathlord instead of serving the lover for the rest of her nearly immortal life?<br/><br/>""None"" she answered in an even tone.<br/><br/>Perhaps this was an opportunity in and of itself to prove her loyalty and her need. She already had a small cell of the Order of bliss in Lookshy, perhaps it would be a chance to increase the number of her children as well as a chance to quietly conquer Lookshy and bring its dragonblooded warriors under her command."

The dark eyes behind the tyrant lizard skull had watched the display of force without any seeming concern. He was busy assessing the Lion's armor.<em>Decent, I suppose. Though the shoulders could use some work and the gauntlets are nowhere near as well-designed as they could be. The price one pays for having amateurs create things.</em>When he finally paid attention to things, the concubine was being beaten to her knees. What was her name? Princess something-or-other. He never did bother keeping track of the names. For some reason his patron liked the woman and kept her around.<em>If she likes abuse so much she should volunteer for the testing facilities. We could always use another durable sort around there.</em><br/><br/>Then came the words. ""My slaves."" The Engineer's bulky frame stiffened and his eyes flared behind the hollowed-out sockets of the great tyrant he'd killed. He took a deep breath, rising to his full height for a moment, then, with effort, controlled himself.<em>No point in joining whats-her-face up there just yet. Just smile and nod for the patron. Smile and nod.</em>He released his breath in a shuddering rasp into his tangled black beard and listened.<br/><br/><em>A warstrider?! This idiot lost a warstrider?! What was she thinking? Or was she thinking at all!</em>The sheer foolishness of losing such an well-crafted example of advanced technology boggled the mind. A muscle in his jaw twitched. Of course retrieving it was a priority! When the Lion asked if there were questions, the Engineer stepped forward and spoke in his rumbling, slow voice.<br/><br/>""I have two questions. First, are we allowed to turn the city into a shadowland if we can?

""Whether or not the strange and elusive 'they' knows anything about our goal is relatively irrelevant, if you'll forgive the bluntness.

""As promised, your mask.""<br/><br/>The mask was made of soulsteel polished to a mirror sheen instead of ivory. Instead of being a plain affair, this mask had been painstakingly forged into the image of Ice's own features for maximum ease of getting the thing on and off. A thin, unobtrusive strap allowed the mask to be held to his face without the need to concentrate on it.<br/><br/>He'd find Joy later and hand over the new shield. The Thunderbolt shield was an oval of layered soulsteel with a strap, beaten and folded to be as light as possible while still providing solid protection. Engineer had crafted the image of a skeletal fist wielding an upright blade against the setting sun on it's face. ""Much better than that flimsy thing you were using before. But your old toy made good firewood for the forges, I'll give it that.""<br/><br/>He sought out Mask after that and held up her new khatar. ""Now<em>this</em>is a weapon! Far better than that little needle you once had!"" He chortled. The new khatar was shaped like Mask's own face in miniature, large enough to cover her entire hand and with a strap to hold it on. The whole thing was forged of soulsteel, delicately carved and honed to resemble the Mask's face in every detail. The khatar's blade came from braided strands of soulsteel ""hair"", twisted and hammered together to form a sharp and serrated cutting edge. ""Strands"" fell to the sides as well, twisted into sharp extrusions to protect both sides of the hand from cutting attacks. ""I'll take your thanks now."" He beamed with pride in his work."

Dragging one forth into the real world gives a Sorcerer power, while binding one within the dream is far less dangerous. Demons are a mixture of the whimsical and the grotesque: a grumpling that once served the Goblin King, a sliver of the night that the Moon Queen absentmindedly misplaced, or the thought child that Absentia and the Prince of Fools conceived and then neglected. The demons are the living artifacts and inhabitants of unimagined vistas, or the demons, trolls, goblins, and bestial minions that slave away at the behest of the supernatural entities that command them. But what may be the tools or slaves of deities may become the masters of mortal sorcerers if the sorcerer fails to control them. Running amok in reality, these minions can become gods themselves if humanity is careless…<br/><br/><strong>Old Ones</strong>are the gods of the Dreamworld and are the creators of the cosmos. Typically they are remembered by humans in vague and poorly understood terms through fairy tales and myths. They could be the Horned King, Queen of Hearts, Baba Yaga, The King of Rats, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, the Prince of Swords and the Prince of Fools, the Stranger, Old Misery, the Green Man, and a whole host of other entities beyond imagining. They are the gods that created and shaped the Dreamworld.<em>They cannot be affected by any of the rituals and may not be Pacted with – one can only hope to entertain them. </em><br/><br/><strong>Pagan Things</strong>are those entities that may have once been part of our world, or are entities of some power in the Dreamworld. These could represent those such as the Fey Courts that once ruled the wilds of the earth, or the great sentient trees that were among the first entities created in the Dreamworld when it was young and whose roots reach deep between worlds. Uncle Bear, Grandfather Grasshopper Legion, and Constant, the First Dog, are examples of Pagan Things that may still be bound by some ancient magic and can be bound by Pacts, but all other rituals will typically fail. The ancient rites that bound mortals and Pagan Things have gone unpracticed and the ties between both are tenuous at best. It should be noted that Pagan Things, who either once enslaved or were once enslaved by humanity still bear some animosity towards mortals. The Big Bad Wolf, exiled here into the Dreamworld along with many of his cohort still harbors resentment and their lot delights in tormenting the dreams of the innocent.<em>Some of these entities can be Contacted in both the Waking and Dreamworlds, while fewer can be Summoned into the Waking World. None can be Bound, but they may be Pacted within the Dreamworld.</em><br/><br/><strong>Beasts</strong>are the non-sentient Dream Creatures and Minions of the Old Ones, the rulers of the Dreamworld. Some are loyal and dutiful servants, others horrid creatures of war, while a handful are forgotten and roam free.<em>A Dream Beast serving an Old One cannot be affected by any rituals except Contain, although a free-roaming Beast can be Summoned, Contacted, and Pacted.</em>Beasts could be Flying Monkeys, Black Goblins and Horned Trolls, Woven Shadows, Rat Minions, the Leviathan and Behemoth, and others.<br/><br/>"

After some deliberation, I decided that Ozzy might not be best suited for this game after all, and have made a new guy. Meet Ethan.<br/>_______________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/><strong>Character Name</strong>: Ethan Daniels<br/><br/><strong>Description</strong>: Ethan is 25, a very tall, lanky man, 6'2, 170 pounds, whose pants and shirt sleeves are too short for his scarecrow frame, more often than not. His hair is a light, rusty brown color, which he wears cut short and parted neatly to the right. His strangely pale green eyes have a very intense focus to them, which he swears is completely unintentional. His nose and chin are both quite pointed, giving him a sort of aquiline cast, and a healthy sprinkling of freckles on both cheeks gives away his Irish heritage.<br/><br/>Ethan's eyesight is considerably less than perfect; he's terribly far-sighted, and owns a pair of rather ornately trimmed copper and onyx eyeglasses to compensate, though he generally prefers contact lenses. He often sports a vest of some kind with several small pockets over a plain T-shirt or sweater, and either khaki slacks or cleanly pressed jeans.<br/><br/>Ethan owns and manages a small, rare book shop which he inherited early from a relative. It fits him well, since he's been a hard-core bibliophile ever since his youth; his parents often joked that he preferred books to people. He would always laugh along with them, but he never corrected them.<br/><br/>Not long after taking over the shop, Ethan was exploring the stacks and came across several interesting tomes that spoke of Sorcery, demons, and what layfolk had mistakenly identified throughout the ages as 'magic', including many clues and references to the strange visions and eerily accurate daydreams he'd experienced since childhood. His curiosity piqued, Ethan devoured every book he found, and when he was finished his thirst for knowledge drove him to seek out new sources. Since then, he's spent more time traveling the world's private libraries than actually running the store, but he's got a very trustworthy assistant, so it doesn't bother him too much.<br/><br/>When in the Dreaming, Ethan tends to take on the appearance, if not always the persona, of one of his childhood heroes, the fictional Indiana Jones (right down to the whip and fedora), and he is just as obsessed with uncovering the histories and secrets of Sorcery in the Dreaming as he is in the Waking.<br/><br/><strong>Stamina</strong>: 2 / Clean Liver<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 3 / Sensitive<br/><strong>Lore</strong>: 5 / Occult Experience/Training/<em>Library</em>, Premonitions<br/><strong>Cover</strong>: 3 / Rare Book Dealer<br/><strong>Past</strong>: 3 / Archaeologist/Adventurer<br/><br/><strong>Price</strong>: -1 / Ethan was rather frail as a young boy, and adulthood has only seen him grow a bit more sturdier. Since beginning his Sorcerous studies, however, he has begun suffering full-blown panic attacks in even moderately stressful moments. These can range from simple stuttering and heavy perspiration to hyperventilation and temporary near-catatonia.<br/><br/><strong>Humanity</strong>: 3<br/><br/><strong>Telltale</strong>: Ethan's fingernails turn a different color every morning when he wakes up; most people who bother to notice put it down to a simple quirky affectation of his.<br/><br/><strong>Kicker</strong>: Ever since learning about them in those first books in his shop, Ethan has longed to meet with some of the greater and more powerful beings said to rule the Dreaming.

It was then that the volatile energies of the arrow he fired let lose and the fire lept to them, dancing across his enemies surface for a brief but shining moment.When all was said and done, he left his enemies hurt and hindered, trapped in the shadowy embrace of the spirits that lent him their aid.<br/>"

There is no 'adventure'.  Okay, there<em>is</em>, and I'm not sure how game Triangle is for people just completely stepping outside the bounds of the story as it's happening, but as a general rule of thumb...  Exalts are so immensely powerful and varied that trying to keep them 'on rails' doesn't work well, anyway, so by default it's usually not expected.  Thus, you can't expect an orderly A->B->C progression of events to happen unmolested.<br/><br/>Rather than thinking of an 'adventure' with a path to be followed, you have to think of it as a 'problem' and generate possible solutions.  The problem is that Lookshy has the Lover's toy and the Lion wants to know why.  What are some ways we can find the missing warstrider or figure out how they got it?  Think primarily in terms of your characters and what he/she can do; don't be afraid to ask for some assistance from others, but bear in mind...<br/><br/>2. There is no 'party'.  Again, allowances must be made for not driving the Storyteller insane by splitting the party 5 ways every time there's a fork in the road, but generally speaking it's not a bad or dangerous thing to split up the group.  There is simply no way I can drag you with me into some of the places I can sneak into.  There's no way you'd<em>want</em>to drag me into some of the places you can talk your way into.  That's okay.  This isn't D&D, we don't need mini-figs all set up in neat marching order.<br/><br/>That doesn't mean we<em>have</em>to be split up, but as above, if you see a way you can advance toward the goal, go for it!  If you're having trouble thinking of a way, try finding someone else who seems to have a plan and figuring out how you can help them.<br/><br/>3. BYOM: Bring Your Own Motivation.  That's why it's one of the first things in character design: motivation is king.  If all else fails, look back at your character's Motivation and ask, ""What could I be doing right now to make this happen?""  Just remember, we've got an assignment from a Darth Vader zombie guy who's going to expect us to report back eventually.<br/><br/>It can be a bit of a culture shock for a player who's used to more structured/on-rails environment--not even necessarily to say 'published adventure'-style on-rails, but just the simple fact that you can at least control<em>normal</em>RPG protagonists with trivial things like mountain ranges, molten lava, or immutable laws of physics; Exalts can and will declare that they don't really feel like dealing with the constraints of reality today, and that makes it both harder to play and harder to GM them."

The population was just under a steady 9,000 but it was common for a good hundred or two to pass through the city on their way through the wilderness of the Mwangi expanse<br/><br/>It was unusual weather today with a cloudless sky, the sun shining high and bright, and the wind blew easily over the open ocean. Normally light storms were the normal weather but it seemed luck was on peoples side today. The salty scent of the sea filled the air and people walked around and went about their jobs as if it were just another normal day but today was anything but usual. At the main docks there were two caravel's waiting , one cristined Mirabell and the other the white wyvern. Dock workers loaded them both with fresh food stores and the supplies for their expedition into the seas were already loaded. Overall each ship held a total of 80 tons in cargo, and fifty of that was stuffed with building materials. Another ten tons filled with food stores that would last them just over a month, while it would only take them, at best, three weeks to reach their destination. The rest of the cargo space was left empty for now, able to be filled with things as the crew desired<br/><br/>People were already gathering around the ships and a large half orc stood between the gangplanks, sending off undesirables. He stood six foot three with a heavily muscular build and a patch over his left eye and a grizzled black beard that covered his face. He wore a stylized red rag with a white crossed swords design that fell over the back of his head as well as a thin but flexible white cotton shirt and thicker cotton shorts. The most notable thing on her person was likely the falchion sheathed and hung over his back.<br/><br/>Most of the people that had arrived were simple hopefulls trying to get onto the boats to see something new and were driven away but slowly and surely those that were handpicked by the Baron were arriving. How they were chosen was anyone's guess but as long as they presented the seal given to them he would welcome them aboard.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------<br/><br/>OOC: Please feel free to do your entrance into the current scene and if you like you may do a past scene where your character earned their seal from the Baron or his agents. You will have to interact with the half orc ""guard"" before you are allowed onto the boat.<br/><br/>Its about 8 am right now<br/><br/>The group will be assigned to the white wyvern. Which is a caravel (pictured below) that has been painted white and has a Wyvern for it's head (thus the name). They will basicly have final say over the ship and what goes on aboard it. Anyone with ranks in profession (sailor) can be the captain if they like. With ranks in Knowlege (geography) you can be the ships navigator<br/><br/>(http://bvapush.pbworks.com/f/caravel.jpg)(http://warandgame.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/caravel_espirito_santo_brazil.jpg)"

A representative delivered a letter to the temple that night which asked for her  to prepare to be ready to sail in the morning and to make her way to the docks.  Nel said her thanks and goodbye's to her new acquaintances at the temple that evening and packed up her small amount of worldly goods  ready to set of in the morning.<br/><br/>That morning after her prayers and breakfast Nel set of on her journey to the docks, ready to depart on a new adventure in life and hoping to find a place for herself.  She looked like an old woman perhaps lost at the docks, maybe some nobles mother who had escaped the house and become lost in the town. Many people where surprised by what lay behind that veil of white and grey hair. She finally approached the ship she was supposed to be on approached the guard who seamed to be allowing or denying boarding of the ship.  Noticing he was preoccupied with someone else she stopped a polite distance away and waited, a strange sight upon the docks her frail lithe frame decked in her fine silvery grey robe which she wore when travelling, the truly observant eye would notice the signs of her faith on her person but she wore no jewellery or finery other than this.<br/><br/>When the guard was free she approached and expecting to be questioned and wanting to follow the proper order of things she instantly presented the letter to him which contained the seal.<em>“Good morning, I am to embark with the expedition my name is Nel Glaenavia here is a letter and the seal to show my words true.”</em>"

Upon it sits a young honey haired woman, no older then seventeen and dressed in heavy dark gray robes, she sits there with her eyes on the building next to her and with the reigns to the single horse, an impeccably bread creature with a pure white coat, at the head but the unmoving wagon. The wagon is stuffed to the brim with something but the heavy tarps over it prevent identification of the goods with just a glance.<br/><br/>Just beyond the wagon is an old tavern with a sign on the front depicting a pig with a hatchet in one hand and wearing a chef's hat, sailors in the region know it as the Bloody pig, a less then reputable tavern where all sorts of untrustworthy sorts go to trade information. (DC 5 Knowlege local check to know that).<br/><br/>=============<br/><br/>OOC: What do you do?"

The woman at a closer look is a mousy little thing in thick dark gray robes that cover up her feminine curves. As Soraya comes closer it seems she is perhaps bored or depressed but she quickly takes notice of Soraya and sets her hand on something beside her.

He is tall and athletically thin, with the pale skin of an aristocrat and piercing blue eyes. He dresses richly, in long black robes and tailored clothing, and is frequently adorned by a small assortment of jewelry. A fist-sized crystal of deep purple tends to hover or circle around him, or perch on his shoulder with spindly legs of glowing ectoplasm.<br/>In person, though, the experience is indescribably different. As naturally as breathing, he need merely enter a room to have every eye drawn to him, and it is a conscious effort to stop focusing on him. His personal interactions definitely leave something to be desired, a corrosive arrogance  and disdain for everyone around him adding a foul aftertaste to his presence – but all the same he is almost literally magnetic, a palpable aura that extends to those nearby and marks his proximity unmistakably. Everywhere he goes, he is accompanied by his wife Alyssa, just as often in noble finery as in her custom-fit armor.<br/><br/>http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=230268 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=230268)<br/>Alysssa Maestri, Lady Maestri<br/>(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p116/ArcherYiZe/sorceressbykirtat-1.jpg) (http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p116/ArcherYiZe/xena-1.jpg)<br/><br/>Tall, well-musculed, and with a figure that would not look out of place on a supermodel, any man would kill to have Alyssa Maestri as his wife. She is Eidan’s, though, devoted and literally bound to him in mind, body, and soul. In conversation, she is moderately friendly and very quick-witted, though with a certain detached demeanor – not cold or hostile like her husband, but more slightly disinterested. To those unfamiliar, though, her total and instant obedience to Eidan, sometimes to things he hasn’t even said out loud, can be most unnerving, and her almost fanatical protectiveness versus anything that might appear to be physically harmful to him can be a shock.<br/>In private, or on the rare occasions Eidan deigns to host guests, she strongly favors low-cut, glowing gowns, often in burgundy or red, with jewelry and decorative attachments as befits a nobleman’s wife. When armed for combat, she is a distinctly different sight – she wears almost nothing save for an ornately molded and absolutely gorgeous form-fitting suit of armor. Custom-forged golden cups on a leather band cover her breasts, and a leather thong from which gold plates hang around her waist. Between them, her torso is covered by a hair-thin, almost transparent mesh of gold chain, and aside from a pair of boots, armored bracers, and gloves, that is all she has on. Her left hand carries a round small shield, but she is apparently unarmed - until combat threatens, when she produces a glimmering duom from thin air.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Maestri Manor</strong><br/><br/><em>Site Modifiers:</em><br/>Hilly Terrain (-5%)<br/>Lawless Area (-10%)<br/>1 mile from main trade road, 105 miles to Large City (-1%)<br/>Nearby Monster Lair (CR 18, 3x CR 17) (-9%)<br/>Total: -25%<br/><br/><em>Construction Modifiers:</em><br/>Free Labor (-30%)<br/>Total: -55%<br/><br/><em>Spellcasting Modifiers:</em><br/>Psionic Fabricate: -50% to Luxury components (max 95%), -5% to other components<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Level</span>,<em>Building</em>, Component (Original Price/Discounted Price)<br/><hr/><span class=""bbc_u"">Level 0: Basement (4950 GP)</span><br/><em>Main House:</em><strong>(4950 GP)</strong><br/>Basic Workplace x4 = (2000/800 GP)<br/>Basic Storage x4 = (1000/400 GP)<br/>Unhewed Stone Prison Cell (single-cells) w/ Iron Door x5 = (7500x0.4)+(2500x0.3)=3750<br/><hr/><span class=""bbc_u"">Level 1: Ground Floor</span><strong>(22855 GP)</strong><br/><em>Main House</em>(4580 GP)<br/>Luxury Kitchen (50000/2500)<br/>Basic Dining Hall (2000/800)<br/>Servant's Quarters x8 (3200/1280)<br/><br/><em>Guardhouse</em><strong> (2260 GP)</strong><br/>Barracks (400/160)<br/>Basic Armory (500/200)<br/>Combat Training Area (1000/400)<br/>30 Light Infantry Packages, 30 Longbows (1500)<br/><br/><em>Smithy</em><strong>( 200 GP)</strong><br/>Basic Smithy (500x0.4=200 GP)<br/><br/><em>Stables</em><strong>(400 GP)</strong><br/>Basic Stables =(1000/400 GP)<br/><br/><em>Perimeter Wall</em><strong> (6555 GP)</strong><br/>Freestanding Masonry Wall x48 (12000/4800)<br/>Guard Post x7 (2100/840)<br/>Gatehouse (1000/400)<br/>Barbican (1000/400)<br/>Iron Porticullis x1 = 115 GP<br/><br/><em>Courtyard</em><strong>(7500 GP)</strong><br/>10x Luxury Courtyard (150000/7500)<br/><hr/><span class=""bbc_u"">Level 2: Second Floor</span><strong>(15,410 GP)</strong><br/><em>Main House:</em><strong> (15,090 GP)</strong><br/>Luxury Bedroom Suite (25000/1250)<br/>Luxury Study (15000/750)<br/>Luxury Library (15000/750)<br/>-Comprehensive Book Lot: Psionics (5,000)<br/>-Book Lot: General Topics (3,000)<br/>-Book Lot: History (1,000)<br/>-Book Lot: Dungeoneering (1,000)<br/>Luxury Bath (10000/500)<br/>Basic Magical Laboratory w/ Lead-lined Walls (1500/600)<br/>Servant's Quarters x6 (2400/960)<br/>Basic Bedrooms (700/280)<br/><br/><em>Guardhouse:</em><strong>(320 GP)</strong><br/>Barracks x2 (800/320)<br/><br/>Miscellaneous:<br/>Decanter of Endless Water x1 (9,000 GP)<br/><br/>Total Cost: 52,215 GP<br/><hr/><br/>Brooding and baroque, the unassuming solidity of Maestri Manor is the home of someone who clearly wants nothing more than to be left alone. Not significantly larger than an expensive city villa, it is ringed by a thick masonry wall, lined by armed guard towers, and dominated by a study gatehouse. Inside the walls, a small longhouse for the compound's guards sits across from a smithy and horse stable, the rest of the landscape being meticulously maintained with beautiful plants, flowers, statuary, and other signs of wealth and privilege. The manor house itself is tastefully austere, with heavy oak walls and thick glass windows. Inside, the majority of the ground floor is devoted to holding and feeding the lord's believers. The basement contains workshops and craftsman's chambers for the production of finished goods, along with a string of reinforced dungeon cells to imprison those who have earned the lord's displeasure. Half of the upper story lodges those believers who cannot fit on the ground floor, while the other half is the exclusive domain of the lord and lady of the house. Their bedrooms, bath, private dining room, and the lord's well-stocked library and meditation chambers are accessed by a separate staircase from the staff dormitories.<br/>"

All that is known is that she is an inhumanly skilled warrior with an ego the size of Agnis itself, who owns a ship that burrows beneath the earth. She seems permanently confident, and prone to the type of smoldering anger that suggests she is going to kill you . . just when you're not expecting it. Her followers (generally that 'typical' piratey thug sort, or beautiful handmaidens) are fanatically devoted, treating her like a queen . . or as she insists, a deity. Soma still has her moments of compassion, but they usually end up with her getting something out of the situation . . if only prestige or a new follower.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description: </strong>Standing at five foot eight, and a good hundred pounds of lean muscle and perfect proportion, Soma strikes a surprisingly intimidating figure. Her features clearly mark her as a Shihouin person, though her silver hair seems to mark her as some sort of offshoot of the ruling family. Her eyes are another hint to unusual parentage, since their blue color is a unique (see: weird) shade, and her pupils seem slightly elongated on close inspection. Still, when on her, all of this seeming-imperfections just make her even more ludicrously attractive. Indeed, she seems to exude an aura and scent that just pulls people of both genders in.<br/><br/>She has a wide variety of styles that she has been known to choose for her clothes, but in public she almost always is seen wearing non-Shihouin clothes. Her favorites are Agnesian and Soldian clothing. In fact, she always has her fur-lined (and enchanted) Agnis longcoat on her shoulders. She carries a Soldian longsword (in it's sheathe) crafted of fine coldiron in hand, rather than on her back or side. Why? Because she's awesome, that's why.<br/><br/><strong>Backround:</strong>The hint of her hair's odd coloring is correct, Shihouin Soma is indeed a member of the Shihouin royal family . . three generations before. Her father (Then-Emperor) fell in love with a succubus, and binded their destinies together, siring two children with her. Twins, the girl ended up with the majority of her mother's blood and power, whereas the boy had far more human in him. Much to Soma's rage, she was born shortly after her brother by mere minutes, meaning she could never hold the throne of Shihou.<br/><br/>Over the next century she immersed herself in politics and swordplay, growing more and more aggrevated with the foolishness she saw in the country. It was only in this generation, when another travesty of succession happened, that she finally gave up on the country. Taking her most loyal followers with her, she left and lead them on a long exodus to the other side of the continent. Along the way they pulled more followers to them, as well as resources, and decided to finally settle down between Palmeed and Agni.<br/><br/>Little is known after that, but within a few years she started appearing with her men on a magical landship, bartering for supplies and offering to lend their services as warriors to deal with all the threats in the Wilds. Since nobody has managed to actually find her stronghold, and her followers have been refering to her as such, she is now known as the God-King of the Hidden City. She LOVES it."

I think the only other experience that can match this is going to Disney World (and I've never been :( )<br/><br/>This was my first expo, so I ran around the expo hall and tried as many things as I could. Playing Medal of Honor, End of Nations, be in a tourney for Monday Night Combat (we lost the finals). And snagging a WHOLE BUNCH of T shirts. Maybe 70% of my time was spent playing a little game called STEEL BATTALION: LINE OF CONTACT in the console freeplay area. (think ultra-realistic giant robot game with 40button controller)<br/><br/>A bunch of people who loved the game brought 20(!) sets of xbox originals and steel battalion controllers to set up a MetaCampaign and boot camp for the event.<br/><br/>I joined the HSD (communist defenders) to defend the homeland against the PRF (faschist oppressors). HSD suffered heavy losses in Turns 1 and 2, with an incredible save (led by me) to stem the tide against an early 8 point lead. Friday PRF 4 HSD 0. The PRF was gloating about wanting better competition and that this would be a shutout.<br/><br/>Saturday saw the HSD get more effective hardware and we were able to phase out our obselete mechs for top of the line sniper varients. We had a good player base to help greenies learn how to effectivly spot, shoot and target with snipers and artillery.  We WAXED the PRF with incredible sniper and artillery fire. They were scrambling for top line mechs that we killed the very next combat rounds :P . Turn 5 we were hurting for topline artillery mechs so we fielded the only 4 Behemoths of the round between 8 players. The PRF ace couldnt get more than 10kills ALL DAY. Saturday PRF 7 HSD 4. The tide is turning.<br/><br/>Sunday I woke up late :o and found the HSD was pushed away from our scoring opportunity. The HSD sergeant (PAX enforcer) wanted to win so bad that I was fielded for all but 2 matches on Sunday. On the second to last match, we fought on a pier that had bridges for chokepoints, HSD mined one entrance and waxed all approachers with artillery. On the other approach, our snipers were engaging PRF runners at 2500 meters. I felt all tingly inside when observers were in gasps and slack jawed awe at me engaging fulling sprinting Blades and Rapiers at max sniper ranges ON A PERPENDICULAR. The final match, was a giant indoor base. HSD got lucky near the end and was able to bring an Earthshaker (piloted by me) to the final match. Fitted with a massive GUASS array, the Earthshaker was able to knock enemy mechs offline through walls, requiring a 20second startup sequence. Our snipers had a turkey shoot. The Garpike ninja we had, made 3 stealth kills by deploying mines to trip up the enemy and then repeatedly stabbed them in the back with a giant metal spike for an unbelievable come from behind campaign victory on the very last match of the game.<br/><br/>It may seem like I'm the one guy that carried the team, but this is told by my own experiences. While I may have been a terrific ace, I couldnt have won the game on my own without excellent play by the other pilots.<br/><br/>Wow, that was longer than I thought. Anyways, Im back, lets play some more naughty DnD.  >:)"

His mother was charmed by a suave man by the name of Timmon Greylace who offered to take him as a 'squire' and make a gentleman of him. Greylace turned out to be a bigger scoundrel than he had been.<br/>Just a lot more witless than Callic, who spent more than his fair share of time bailing the man out of trouble. Husbands, fathers, and many other male relations wanted the man dead for all sorts of reasons. Mostly dealing with his way making with various female relations. He learned to lie, cheat, bribe and find a man with the right set of keys when needed.<br/>Till the night Timmon drew the ire of one mage over the discovery that his daughter was with child and Timmon was the father. A miscast curse due to a mispronounced word in the spell mixed with using a bit of Callic's blood sent the curse screaming towards the hapless boy. Who woke up to discover the miscast magics had awoken a long sleeping blood heritage of his mother's side of the family. The heritage of a succubi in her family line.<br/>"

Erastil is the God of Farming, Hunting, Trade, and Family. Erastil is an elder deity, his worship hearkening back to the time when mankind first set about harnessing the wilderness and mastering nature. Legends claim that it was Old Deadeye himself who crafted the first bow and gifted it to humans, a gift to assist them in overcoming the challenges of the world. Even as the accomplishments of civilization mount, Erastil continues to embrace and represent the simpler pleasures life has to offer. The faithful of Erastil can be found in nearly every wilderness community in Avistan. They usually choose to live simple lives and practice his teachings away from the complications of more advanced societies. The members of Old Deadeye's clergy are active in their respective communities, leading by example and serving in various capacities as needed by those that live around them. The clergy's formal dress is kept simple to reflect their deity's tastes; a simple cloak of fur or leather, usually accompanied by Erastil's holy symbol burned into the hide or worn as part of a wooden clasp.<br/><br/>FYI I got this from PathfinderWiki."

Upon her back is a well-worn but serviceable backpack.<br/><br/>(http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm287/avorae_2008/spiceandwolf02.jpg)<br/>Spirit form<br/>Ayshe's normal appearance does not change much in her spirit form save for the fact that she now sports a dog's tail <br/>and her ears become dog-like and appear more upon the top of her head similiar to what most people would call a typical wolfgirl..<br/><br/>BIOGRAPHICAL DATA<br/>Race/Species: Native American Indian<br/>Real name: Ayashe Rainmaker (Ayashe means little one) <br/>Aliases: none<br/>Place of birth: a small village outside of Lazlo<br/>Occupation: Wilderness Scout<br/>Martial status: Single<br/>Known relatives: Amitola (rainbow) (Mother), Takoda <br/>(Friend to everyone) (Father), Pahana (lost white brother) (adopted brother)<br/>Known confidants: unrevealed<br/>Known allies: unrevealed<br/>Major enemies: None <br/>Alignment: Unprincipled<br/>Totem: Dog<br/><br/>PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION<br/>Height: 5'3""<br/>Weight: 100 lbs.<br/>Eyes: Rich brown<br/>Hair: black<br/>Skin tone: Native American<br/>Build: petite but Athletic<br/>Date of birth: 1/9/11 P.A.<br/>Age: 18<br/>Measurements: 38C-20-38<br/><br/>Stats<br/>I.Q.: 24<br/>M.E.: 23<br/>M.A.: 27<br/>P.S.: 23<br/>P.P.: 31<br/>P.E.: 22<br/>P.B.: 32   <br/>Spd.: 36<br/>MDC:  220<br/>PPE:  140<br/>ISP:  0<br/>Level: 4<br/>EXP: 9,201 <br/>Level up: 18,401<br/> <br/>Saving throws<br/>Spell Magic:        +9          Lethal poisons:     +7<br/>Ritual Magic:       +9          Non-lethal poisons: +7<br/>Circle Magic:       +9          Toxins:             +7<br/>Magic Fumes:        +9          Drugs:              +5<br/>Magic Wards:        +9          Insanity:           +7<br/>Electrocution:      +5          Horror Factor:      +18  <br/>Extreme Heat:       +5          Pain:               +5<br/>Extreme Cold:       +5          Soul Drinking:      +9<br/>Lethal Disease:     +7          Possession:         +9   <br/>Non-lethal Disease: +7          Mind control:       +7<br/>Psionics:           +7          Coma/Death:         +44%<br/><br/>Hand-to-Hand: commando <br/># Atts:       +6                 Maintain Balance: +0<br/>Initiative:   +10                Death Blow:       +0<br/>Damage Bonus: +8                 Critical:         20<br/>Strike Bonus: +9                 K.O.:             20<br/>Parry Bonus:  +13                Pin/Incapacitate: 18+ <br/>Dodge Bonus:  +13                Auto dodge:       +0               <br/>Roll Bonus:   +10                Auto flip:        +0<br/>Disarm Bonus: +1                 Pull punch:       +3<br/>Break fall:   +0                 Entangle:         +0<br/>Perception:   +7   <br/>                                       <br/>Skill Name                         %/lvl.  %                                     <br/>Lang and Lit: Navaho               5       98<br/>Lang and Lit: Americian            5       86<br/>Lang and Lit: Euro                 5       86<br/>Lang and Lit: Dragonese            5       81<br/>Lang: Fairy                        5       81<br/>Sign Language                      5       64<br/>General Athletics                  -       -<br/>Cooking [Professional]             5       89<br/>*cook game animals                 -       98<br/>Climbing                           5       94<br/>Fishing                            5       84<br/>Horsemanship: Cowboy               5       98<br/>Identify Plants &amp;

A failed roll means the trail cannot be followed <br/>by others as intended.<br/> <br/>4) Cross country pacing: Wilderness Scouts are known for pacing themselves for <br/>cross country travel. This not only includes pacing their physical exertion and <br/>speed, but also pacing their food and water intake, enabling them to cover great <br/>distances on foot, horseback, or by mountain bike for maximum speed at a pace that <br/>can be maintained for days. This skill combined with land navigation also enables <br/>them to accurately predict how long a trip will take (for them alone or with others <br/>in tow – the latter always takes twice as long) within 2d6x10 minutes, 6d6 hours if <br/>unfamiliar with the area.<br/>   This makes the wilderness scout an excellent messenger between parties, able to <br/>cut across country avoiding roads and other well trafficked areas, in favor of little <br/>known back roads, hunting trails, waterways, and shortcuts, often ensuring secrecy <br/>and safety for the travel. (Note: A scout never reveals her most secret and favorite <br/>routes to clients or strangers accompanying her unless it is an absolute dire <br/>emergency.) These guys come and go without anyone knowing how, when or where they’ve <br/>been. Once a Scout travels out of sight, she seems to simply vanish into the wilderness.<br/>   On a bicycle, this skill the Wilderness Scout to achieve three times his <br/>running speed on level ground, and travel cross-country at twice his normal running <br/>speed. They can maintain this maximum bike speed for a time equal to their P.E.x10 <br/>in minutes without overexerting themselves. On foot this skill enables the character <br/>to move at full running speed cross-country for a time equal to his P.E.x5 in minutes <br/>without overexerting herself. Base skill to predict travel time: (64%) +5% per level.<br/><br/>5) Cartography: The specialized art of mapmaking, Cartography is one of the most <br/>important skills that a wilderness scout learns. Characters with this skill can <br/>produce highly accurate maps with a wide variety of tools, including pen and paper, <br/>computer plotting, and even advanced holographic displays. (Computer mapping <br/>requires a character to have the computer operation skill.) Base skill: (69%) +5% per <br/>level. A successful roll means the map is not only accurate and easy to use, but elegant <br/>and aesthetically pleasing. A failed roll indicates that some details are wrong, other <br/>details been left out, and the scales and specified locations are off by 1d10 miles.<br/><br/>Equipment/Gear<br/>Backpack<br/>3 small sacks<br/>1 large sack<br/>canteen<br/>1 week of rations<br/>Mixing bowl<br/>grinding stone<br/>flint and steel<br/><br/>Knapsack <br/>Several pices of short cord [for tying things]<br/>6 wood spikes [for vampires]<br/>mallet<br/>animal skinning knife set<br/>fishing line and hooks<br/><br/>Worn<br/>traveling clothes<br/>hooded cloak<br/>soft moccasions<br/>leather belt with 4 pouches<br/><br/>horse [high quality]<br/>saddle bags<br/>saddle<br/>bedroll<br/>blanket<br/>rope [50']<br/><br/>WEAPONS<br/>Fetish Bow [does 4d6]<br/>Fetish Spear [does 3d6]<br/>2 flint Knives<br/><br/>FETISHES<br/>Armor fetish [provides 45 MDC when activated]<br/>Song bird fetish [+20 to singing and can mimic bird calls]<br/>Heritage of self<br/>Tracking fetish<br/><br/>MONEY<br/>Credits: <br/>Black market:  <br/>Animal furs: 800<br/>Gems: 1,000<br/>Salary:  <br/>Gold coins:</pre>"

From what has been gathered, Aiden is a freeborn battle cat. His parents were runaways. During the short three years they were free they had sired Aiden and his three siblings. Aiden alone witnessed the CS finally catch up and do away with the two elders, and from that point on took on the role of leadership to the rest of his family, often keeping an eye on the three. He, and his eldest sister Nadia, wears the old armor of their parents, while the two youngest have miss matched gear that they have found along their travels.<br/><br/>The family moves from place to place, all on Aiden's orders. Knowing full well that they are hunted by the dreaded slave masters of their parents, they keep a low profile and never stay in one place for too long. When Aiden is scoping out new towns before venturing in, his sister Nadia watches over the youngest two from a safe distance. While in town two always remain hidden, while the other two may walk freely, giving off the appearance that there are only two tiger like battle cats in the town at one time, not wanting to draw any more attention then they feel is needed with their large family group.<br/><br/>Like most battle cats, Aiden keeps to himself and does not say much, however when he gets a few beers in him he has been known to drive his elder sister insane with his tendencies to try and find company of an intimate nature among common folk showing no regard for species.<br/><br/><strong>PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION</strong><br/>Height: 5'2""<br/>Weight: 264<br/>Eyes: Blue<br/>Fur: Light light orange with black stripes and a white stomach and hands.<br/>Skin tone: Fur<br/>Build: Muscular<br/>Date of birth: Exact date unknown<br/>Age: 5 (average life span 40-55)<br/>Measurements: His penis?<br/>DESCRIPTION: Being one that prides himself with his appearance, Aiden keeps his long fur well groomed whenever possible. Streaks of black stripes cover his entire form right down to even the white fur that crests his forearms. The orange of his fur is light cream colored, as opposed to his siblings who's fur is much more vibrant in color. Blue eyes shine through making it apparent that he carries the white tiger gene. Aiden's wardrobe varies from his typical battle dress in his father's six year old CS issued armor with all forms of markings dulled out, and his civilian clothing. Normal dress consists of loose black jeans and heavy boots, with a sleeveless form fitting brown t-shirt, and a number of random baseball caps modified to fit his head properly without slipping off.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Stats</strong><br/>I.Q.: 20 (3d6+1d4)<br/>M.E.: 12 (3d6)<br/>M.A.: 18 (4d6)<br/>P.S.: 45 (4d6+4d6+2+2+2+1+1)<br/>P.P.: 20 (4d6+1+1)<br/>P.E.: 35 (4d6+2d6+2+1+1+1)<br/>P.B.: 18 (4d6)<br/>Spd.: 45 (4d6+6+1d6+1d6+4d4)<br/><br/>MDC:<br/>SDC: 150 (24+50+20+1d8+2d6+4d6+3d6+1d6+1d6)<br/>Hit Points: 48+40<br/>AR: 11<br/>PPE: 9<br/>ISP: 44<br/>Level: 4<br/>EXP: 7,201<br/>Level up: 14,401<br/><br/><strong>Saving throws</strong><br/>Spell Magic: +5<br/>Ritual Magic: +5<br/>Circle Magic: +5<br/>Magic Fumes: +5<br/>Magic Wards: +5<br/>Lethal poisons: +5<br/>Non-lethal poisons: +5<br/>Drugs:<br/>Toxins:<br/>Insanity: +2<br/>Electrocution:<br/>Horror Factor: +6<br/>Extreme Heat:<br/>Pain:<br/>Extreme Cold:<br/>Soul Drinking:<br/>Possession:<br/>Lethal Disease: +4<br/>Non-lethal Disease: +4<br/>Mind control:<br/>Psionics: +2<br/>Coma/Death: +18%<br/>Charm/Impress: 40%<br/>No fear of heights<br/><br/><strong>Hand-to-Hand: </strong><br/># Atts: +1<br/>Maintain Balance: (60% + 15%)<br/>Initiative: +4<br/>Damage Bonus: +15<br/>Death Blow:<br/>Critical:<br/>KO:<br/>Strike Bonus: +5<br/>Parry Bonus: +7<br/>Dodge Bonus: +5<br/>Roll Bonus: +7<br/>Disarm Bonus:<br/>Perception:<br/><br/><em>Cat Stuff:/i]<br/>Sense Psychic and Magic Energy: (5% per level): 45%<br/>Sense Supernatural Being: (2% / level): 60%<br/>Night Vision<br/>Judge distance and precise location of source: (2% / level) 86%<br/>Recognize and identify prey by sounds: (2% / level) 78%<br/>Natural climbers: All cats can climb at the base skill of 60%/40% (plus bonuses for certain species).<br/>Sprinters: The mutant cat can run at double his normal speed for 1D4 minutes before dropping back to normal speed.<br/><br/>Tiger bonus<br/>Natural swimmer (86% skill proficiency),<br/>+5% to climbing, +15% prowl, and +15% to tracking skills.

furs:<br/>Gems:<br/>Salary:<br/>Gold coins:<br/><br/><strong>DESCRIPTION:</strong><br/>While a petite woman, she's been toughened up by her army days, and keeps herself fit even today.  Despite her slight build, she has overly-large breasts, which she enjoys showing off with her suits.<br/><br/>Hannelore grew up among poor workers in the NGR.  She was smart, through, and her parents did everything they could to further her education.  They got her recruited by the army to be put through their medical program, where she was quite successful.  She competed her basic training and quickly got to work treating soldiers on the field and back at hospitals.  Dr. Hannelore put herself in harm's way to save people, which got her knocked around a bit, and even a concussion once.  As a field trauma surgeon, she had the opportunity to mingle with more than soldiers, with civilians and d-bees as well.  When they needed help, she could find no reason to deny them if she had the means.  Her repeated service to aliens and mutants eventually got her discharged from the army, which was fine with her.  She could then go out where she could continue to use her skills more freely.<br/><br/>She would go from village to village, or any town or city that needed serious professional aid.  Setting up in one spot for a while, she would handle various diseases or surgeries.  She met many common and exotic d-bees, which she interviewed and made note of.  One particularly handsome d-bee didn't have much in the way of payment, but made her a very nice dinner and gave her the night of her life.  Something happened then, either a blossoming of her libido, or some alien syphilis, but she became a xenophile, developing a fetish for alien beings.  Her normal sex life was quite healthy as well, but her catalog started to resemble an alien kama sutra, with extensive interviews of d-bee courtship, mating rituals, and even favorite positions.<br/><br/>As a young girl of the city, she could recognize trouble and crimes and stay out of the way.  As a young doctor now, she used her skills to find those drug dealers as her medical suppliers.  She sometimes had to help them out, usually taking out some bullets, and in return her supplies were kept up to serve the public.  Sometimes it was even necessary to gamble what little money she could earn to buy what she needed.<br/><br/>After extensive travel around the NGR, she found herself with a wanderlust, wanting to explore other exotic locales, and meet new people and d-bees.  After some deliberation, she made the leap and took a boat across the treacherous Atlantic ocean, arriving in North America to see what it was all about.<br/><br/>http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=465319

I-V<br/><br/>MONEY<br/>None<br/><br/>Background:<br/>The Dragon Hatchling woke up in the process of breaking out of his egg.  His earliest memories are of a dark, musty space full of pre-Rifts junk and detritus.  It was likely that anything of value had long been pilfered, but at that point he had little conception that one thing might be more valuable than another to him.  As he meditated on his own nature, he instinctively knew that he had no need of armor or weapons, or fire to warm him or light his way.  He was sufficient unto himself, perhaps sufficient to all that the world might offer.  So, he took only those things that seemed interesting to him.  Some books with which to learn the most common local language, and a case to carry them in.  He also has an interest in music, and he'd like to learn more of it.  He then casually kicked the heavy steel door free of its concrete mooring, and walked off into the twilight.  As he walked, it occurred to him that he should name himself.  He chose the name Tiger for his given name, because there was a picture of a tiger on one of his books and he thought it seemed like a pretty awesome animal.  Praxis he picked from the dictionary because he liked the sound of it.<br/><br/>Tiger is generally friendly and curious, but the direction his personality takes is likely to be influenced a great deal by the other PCs and his other formative experiences in the near future.  He would be very happy to use his great power to help other people, and tends to take a casual attitude to issues that are extremely pressing for others (killing or driving away a pack of rampaging monsters threatening a village might not seem to him a great deal more of a favor than chopping wood for an hour.)  He generally prefers to stay in human form as much as possible, since it lets him interact with people a great deal more easily.  Tiger is disinclined to use metamorphosis to ""disguise"" himself, but he considers his Tiger and Human shapes to be somewhat intrinsic to his personality, and doesn't think of them as disguises."

A tattered band of refugees, many of them wounded. Their clothes and weapons spoke of the South. They were practitioners of strange Martial Arts, little seen. Golden Exhalation Style, the lesser of these, they share with all who wish to learn. But the greater is kept a secret, only for those in the clan, and not many of them.

By RAW, it is legal, even if it is ludicrously broken. You were wondering why the Iajatsu Factotum is so highly recommended, and it's because of those exact two reasons:<br/>1) In most games, Iajatsu is not a class skill for everyone, it's a class skill for two or three classes in the entire game, of which Factotum is one.<br/>2) Nothing in Cunning Surge or the Dungeonscape Errata limits it to 1/encounter or even 1/round.<br/><br/>RAW is the standard for optimization discussions because no one can predict a GM's houserules. As a direct example, I wouldn't put any limit on Cunning Surges/round (in a non-gestalt game at least), I'd just compensate by having encounters that didn't feature one single monster, but multiple slightly weaker ones. Build advices and handbooks can't predict which of our DM styles might actually be in play, so by-the-books is the only way to find common ground."

Generally I'd consider a 2/2/2 split to be less 'split up' than 1/3/2.<br/><br/>Even if there weren't any hostilities from the monks (or from things that happen to attack them during that time) and we knew a priori that Alyx alone would negotiate as well as Alyx+Ansalia, the amount of time the negotiations took might be such that it's quicker for Ansalia to just be there with Alyx rather than drop her off and then later make a 2nd trip to the monastery to pick her up again - especially not knowing when to make said return trip (unless they have Sending etc.), and given that Ansalia might not know where to go exactly to rendezvous with the others.<br/><br/>I'm not familiar with Alyx's race or classes so, like Ansalia said IC, I don't know other PCs' methods and speeds of transport.<br/><br/>Also, having two negotiators somehow seemed useful, like a bad-cop good-cop thing, particularly with their opposed alignments. (Or mechanically speaking, the inability to retry Diplomacy sometimes. Incidentally, Alyx' Dip mod is 4 above Ansalia's and her Bluff mod is 2 higher - same ranks and Cha, but judging from Alyx's class names I'm guessing they have some bonuses)<br/><br/>Also, as there are many Evil* PCs, they may not trust each other to do solo negotiations without stacking them in their own favor, eh? Whereas groups of 2+ tend to be far more 'honest' because of prisoners' dilemma.<br/><br/>* I realize it's politically incorrect to actually reference alignment, and the custom setting text makes it clear it's supposed to be particularly flexible here, but people are playing most of their PCs in a way that is the germane point anyway: they seem like self-interested and mistrustful parties, not a Fellowship of the Ring type group - which is actually far more realistic, if the real life human condition is any judge."

Ansalia's currently planning to go to the monastery, and transport a few people via pegasus flight, but very open to anything faster they may have. I don't feel some need to use the pegasus for the sake of using it, and being able to leave it at home is safer for it of course.  I'm not familiar with psionics and a lot of the other classes people are using, so I admit I don't have a good idea about the other PCs' abilities.<br/><br/>Pegasus overland flight is normally 96 miles / 8 hours. Her 4th level druid follower (if there are Leadership bonuses other than the +5 Cha and +2 stronghold, Ansalia's at 17 so one 4th is her top) can cast Traveler's Mount on her pegasus when they set out, speeding it up and allowing it to hustle with no fatigue/damage for 4 hours. After that, 4 hours of hustling will induce 7 damage (0 + 1 + 2 + 4) - not particularly kind to the pegasus, bu doable in need, for exactly 200 miles / 8 hours I believe.<br/><br/>Espin mentioned 'at least a day apart by air'. Air speed for most creatures is 60' (half a pegasus) for 48 miles / 8 hours overland, so the above method might be 2 hours, or more but hopefully within a day in any case.

As a young girl she was subject to exile, taken in by an errant warrior; an optimistic and moralistic mercenary-knight who accepted her as a pupil, seeing the unusual potential offered her by her tainted parentage, and trained her rigorously in swordplay. She quickly became inured to the hardships of travel and frequent combat with the shambling husks which stalked the land as a result of the necromantic energy that desecrated the land, and by the time she had entered blossoming maturity the old knight released her from training and squirehood, informally knighting her as a member of<em>The Order of the Scarlet Moon</em>, a little known knighthood devoted to defending communities from the ravages of monsters, savage races, and the ever present dead. The exiled princess wears no insignia to identify that she is a member of the order however, and currently travels alone as a black knight of sorts, showing great conviction in her own way to the basic principles of the order by offering herself as a sword for hire wherever she travels.<br/><br/>Appearance and attributes: Arden is a petite girl, standing about 5'. Her body is lean, muscular, and very supple, and houses a horrific and startling strength. Her skin is pale and smooth, she has reddish-violet eyes which look large on her round, girlish face, and she keeps her exotic, silver-white hair cut to roughly shoulder length. Her physique is a bit adolescent looking, with slender hips and generally subtle curves, but her full and perky bosom gives a more feminine impression. Her movements are almost preternaturally fluid and graceful, and she displays startling speed, power, and reflexes in battle, and her eyes have a strange power over the weak-willed. She wears a fairly simple tunic of chain mail when anticipating combat, but prefers to dress more comfortably and femininely when she can, her common outfit including: navy blue panties, short silk bloomers, a long, sleeveless blue tunic with silver embroidery, a white blouse with short, frilled sleeves beneath the tunic, thigh length black leggings, and high leather boots. She also typically wears a black hair band to keep her hair out of her eyes while fighting, and a long, dark violet mantle with a gold brooch while traveling. Whether due to her own aloofness and serious personality or her strikingly exotic appearance, partly because of her unusual colorations, she has little in the way of friendly contact with people on her travels, and is utterly inexperienced in erotic matters aside from a little personal exploration.<br/><br/>She wields a slightly enchanted greatsword taken after a battle with a fallen knight, risen again as a zombie.<br/><br/>Ability scores: Str-18/+4 Dex-19/+4 Con-15/+2 Int-13/+1 Wis-13/+1 Cha 16/+3<br/>Max Hp: 14 Ac: 20(+4 armor, +4 dex, +2 natural) Touch: 14 Flat-footed: 16<br/>Initiative: +8<br/>Speed: 40 ft<br/>Base Attack: +1<br/>Grapple: +5<br/>Attack: +1 Greatsword +6 melee (2d6+7/19-20), Slam +5 melee (1d6+6), Dart +5 ranged (1d4+4(+3 if silver))<br/>Fortitude: +4<br/>Reflex: +4<br/>Will: +1<br/>Feats: Power Attack, Improved Initiative(B), Cleave<br/>Languages: Common, Elven<br/>Class features: Fast movement, Whirling Frenzy 1/day (rage variant from unearthed arcana)<br/><br/>Racial traits: Resistance to electricity and cold 5, Damage reduction 5/silver or magic, Fast healing 1(if at below half hp), Charm Gaze DC:13(Su)<br/><br/>Skills: Bluff +5, Climb +8(+7), Hide +6(+5), Intimidate +3, Jump +12(+11), Listen +7, Move Silently +6(+5), Spot +3, Survival +5, Swim +6(+4), Tumble +6(+5)<br/>(Skill checks reduced by armor check penalty; spent 2 skill points to become literate)<br/><br/>Equipment: +1 Greatsword, masterwork chain shirt, backpack with: bedroll, 2 torches, waterskin, 5 days trail rations, 1 dagger, 1 silver dagger, 4 darts, 4 silver darts, 10 gp"

She has a fine womanly figure despite her small size, with perky little breasts and narrow waist, with a small, but still round and tight bottom. Her legs are long and lovely, and Rhiannon rarely covers them, far preferring skirts over pants.<br/>Rhiannon is somewhat unusual in that she eschews the current trend for piercing and tattoos, instead expressing herself more through jewelry and fashion.<br/>Her typical outfit, for day to day wear, tends towards what could probably be described as neo-Victorian fae sexpot.

her facial features resemble a 'morphism' of cross-cultural traits more than anything else, so average and symmetrical that they actually seem slightly conspicuous; her body type is of moderate height and proportions, well-rounded without any distinct features.  The most striking feature, perhaps, is her hair: rather than conforming to any known phenotype, it's naturally a very dark lavender that looks much to even to be dyed.<br/><br/>This can couple quite strangely with her attitude and behavior, however.  Although she may be a ""genetic everyman"", the way she was raised has caused her to approach the world from a fundamentally different viewpoint.  A childhood spent in Matrix-immersion keeps her from making assumptions based on prior experience--she is rarely surprised or incredulous, extremely adaptive to new environments and information, and capable of ""thinking outside the box"" in truly profound ways--but also keeps her from having fully internalized many cultural norms.  As an example, she doesn't really understand gender roles or restrictions on ""appropriate"" gender behavior; though she's often accused of being a tomboy, she does not have an image of herself as such and can just as easily slip back into extremely feminine behavior.  It's probably less accurate to say she's gender-neutral, and more accurate to say she's gender-""fluid""--she doesn't see anything wrong with acting more or less like a man or a woman when the circumstances dictate.<br/><br/><strong>Attributes:</strong><br/>Body 3<br/>Strength 2<br/>Agility 3<br/>Reaction 3<br/>Charisma 3<br/>Intuition 5<br/>Logic 5<br/>Willpower 3<br/><br/>Initiative 8 (1)<br/>Edge 2<br/>Essence 4.6<br/><br/><strong>Active Skills:</strong><br/>Cracking Group 4 (40 BP)<br/>Influence Group 2 (20 BP)<br/>Athletics Group 2 (20 BP)<br/>Electronics Group 2 (20 BP)<br/>Perception 5 (20 BP)<br/>*Visual (2 BP)<br/>Infiltration 3 (12 BP)<br/>Automatics 5 (20 BP)<br/>*Assault Rifles (2 BP)<br/><br/><strong>Knowledge Skills:</strong><br/>Professional: Military 4<br/>Academic: Psychology 4<br/>Academic: Physics 4<br/>Academic: Computer Science 3<br/>Street: UCAS Politics 3<br/>Street: Hacker Havesn 3<br/>Interests: Classical Music 3<br/><br/><strong>Language Skills:</strong><br/>English (N)<br/>Japanese 3<br/>Spanish 3<br/><br/><strong>Qualities (Positive):</strong><br/>Changeling, Class I 5 BP<br/>Type O System 30 BP<br/><br/><strong>Qualities (Negative):</strong><br/>Vendetta 5 BP<br/>Enemy, Connection 6/Incidence 4 10 BP<br/>Wanted 10 BP<br/>Weak Immune System 5 BP<br/><br/><strong>Metagenic Qualities (Positive):</strong><br/>Biocompatability (Bioware) 10 BP<br/><br/><strong>Metagenic Qualities (Negative):</strong><br/>Unusual Hair 5 BP<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/>Cyber-Commlink, Alphaware (2,000/0.16)<br/>Fairlight Caliban (8,000) 6/5<br/>*Modified Response (6) (8,000)<br/>*Simsense Accelerator (15,000)<br/>*Customized Interface (250)<br/>*Hardening 6 (250)<br/>-System 6 (3,000)<br/>-Firewall 6 (3,000)<br/>-Sim Module (Hot-Rigged) (350)<br/>Programs<br/>-Analyze 6 (600)<br/>-Browse 6 (600)<br/>-Command 6 (600)<br/>-Edit 6 (600)<br/>-Encrypt 6 (600)<br/>-Reality Filter 6 (600)<br/>-Scan 6 (600)<br/>-Armor 6 (6,000)<br/>-Attack 6 (6,000)<br/>*Armor Piercing 3 (2,250)<br/>*Targeting (750)<br/>-Biofeedback Filter 6 (6,000)<br/>-Decrypt 6 (6,000)<br/>-Defuse 6 (6,000)<br/>-ECCM 6 (6,000)<br/>-Exploit 6 (6,000)<br/>-Medic 3 (1,500)<br/>-Sniffer 6 (6,000)<br/>-Spoof 6 (6,000)<br/>-Stealth 6 (6,000)<br/>-Track 3 (1,500)<br/>-TacSoft Rating 4 (12,000)<br/><br/>Datajack, Alphaware (2,000/0.08)<br/><br/>Cybereyes Basic System, Rating 3, Alphaware (2,000/0.32)<br/>*Eye Recording Unit (*/*)<br/>*Image Link (*/*)<br/>*Eye Light System (1,500/1.6C)<br/>*Flare Compensation (1,500/0.8C)<br/>*Low-Light Vision (2,000/1.6C)<br/>*Smartlink (2,000/2.4C)<br/>*Thermographic Vision (2,000/3.2C)<br/>*Vision Enhancement 3 (9,000/2.4C)<br/>-Vision Magnification, Alphaware (2,000/0.08)<br/><br/>Cyberears, Rating 2, Alphaware (1,500/0.24)<br/>*Ear Recording Unit (*/*)<br/>*Sound Link (*/*)<br/>*Audio Enhancement 3 (9,000/2.4C)<br/>*Damper (1,500/0.8C)<br/>*Increased Sensitivity (2,000/0.8C)<br/>*Select Sound Filter 3 (6,000/2.4C)<br/>*Spatial Recognizer (1,500/1.6C)<br/><br/>Radar Sensor, Rating 4, Alphaware (24,000/0.24)<br/><br/>Orientation System, Alphaware (2,500/0.16)<br/><br/>Echolocation, Deltaware (15,000/0.04)<br/><br/>Enhanced Pheremone Receptors, Rating 3, Deltaware (15,000/0.04)<br/><br/>Vocal Range Enhancer, Deltware (12,000/0.04)<br/><br/>Biomonitor (300)<br/><br/>Ares Alpha AR (1,700)<br/>-Integral Smartgun Link (*/*)<br/>-Integral Underbarrel Grenade Launcher (*/*)<br/>-Integral Chamber Design, RC2 (*/*)<br/>*Personalized Grip Modification (100/1S)<br/>*Auto-Adjusting Weight Modification (150/4S)<br/>*Foregrip Modification (50/1S)<br/>*Gas Vent 3 (400)<br/>*Shock Pad (50)<br/>EX-Explosive Rounds, 2 Clips/84 Rounds (840)<br/>Regular Ammo, 2 Clips/84 Rounds (168)<br/>Stick-n-Shock Rounds, 2 Clips/84 Rounds (336)<br/><br/>FN 5-7C Machine Pistol (600)<br/>-Integral Efficient Design, RC1 (*/*)<br/>-Concealable Holster (75)<br/>-Smartgun Link, Internal (600)<br/>*Ceramic/Plasteel Components Lv2 Modification (1,800/1S)<br/>*Sound Suppressor Modification (600/3S)<br/>*Barrel Reduction Modification (20/3S)<br/>Hi-C Plastic Rounds, 3 Clips/60 Rounds (450)<br/><br/>Steampunk Line Corset (600)<br/>Form-Fitting Armor Full-Body Suit (1,600)<br/>SecureTech PPP System<br/>-Forearm Guards (200)<br/>-Shin Guards (150)<br/><br/><strong>Lifestyle Qualities:</strong><br/>Middle Lifestyle (16), 1 Month (4,950)<br/>-Comfort High (4)<br/>-Entertainment Luxury (6)<br/>-Necessities High (4)<br/>-Neighborhood Middle (3)<br/>-Security Middle (3)<br/>*Perfect Roommate (2)<br/>*AI in Residence (-3)<br/>*Ambusher's Delight (-3)<br/><br/><strong>Lifestyle Notes:</strong><br/>DG lives in a residence in Fort Lewis that was previously assigned to a Special Forces Colonel she knew during her time in the service.  The Colonel went into a deep-cover assignment in Africa; DG is one of the only ones who knows he died there.  To maintain his cover, he (officially) is still living and working in Fort Lewis and his residence remains assigned; DG hacks the credentials to use it and to prevent news of his death from coming out.  The condo is a suite at the top of a small tower, comfortably-appointed and well-maintained.<br/><br/>Her roommate, SN-D (or Cindy, as DG calls her) is a ""free"" cyborg that she discovered while trying to dig up information on the Zero Project.  SN-D appears to be from an alternate line of experimentation trying to implant ""locked-in"" children's brains into cyborg, rather than biological, bodies; as far as DG has been able to figure out, she was created from a clonal brain and is still relatively child-like in development.  Because she was a medical prototype and not a service cyborg, SN-D's anthro-frame is designed more to be ""lifelike"" and less for combat capabilities.  As a roommate, SN-D is extremely low-maintenance (aside from the weekly program-maintenance DG has to perform to keep her sane) and unobtrusive, with very few needs; unfortunately, she is also limited in her ability to draw a paycheck, and can only pay 25% of the rent.<br/><br/>SN-D also seems to have attracted the attention of an AI, which ""haunts"" the apartment's computer systems.  The AI appears to be either relatively primitive or to have an extremely non-human thought process, as it is either incapable of productive communication or merely uninterested.  Thus far, DG has made no attempts to remove the AI--due to her background, and SN-D's presence, she doesn't feel entirely within her rights to do so--and any attempts to ""work with"" it have failed due to a lack of feedback.  The AI takes command of cameras and other apartment sensors seemingly at random, sifts through public e-mails on node accounts, and loves to change the trid channel.  As of yet, even DG has been unable to find a pattern or reasoning behind its actions, though it<em>does</em>seem to do everything it does deliberately and with purpose, rather than just causing random mischief.<br/><br/>The apartment floorplan is completely open.  The apartment as a whole is ring-shaped, forming to the dome at the apex of the building, and the only divisions between the ""rooms"" are the arched ""spokes"" going toward the central hub where the elevator is.  The entire outer wall is glass, though it is ""smart"" glass that can be adjusted for opacity or set to display images (for example, a soothing beach panorama).  This gives the apartment superb acoustics, though it also makes it pretty much impossible to defend, since the best cover anyone could find inside is a designer couch or kitchen counter.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>Desiree Grant was born with a variant of Lou Gerhig's disease that rode on a meta-active gene, making it incurable with the poor comprehension of metagenics in the post-Awakened world.  The disease systematically destroyed the nerve cells in her spinal cord, progressing to the point where her brain was entirely ""shut-in"" by the age of three.<br/><br/>The Second Life Foundation, a charity-funded medical research group, took Desiree in after she became fully paralyzed, adding her to a stable of other children in similar conditions.  The Foundation performed two functions: first, they maintained a full-immersion virtual environment for such children to improve their quality of life.  Second, they researched experimental ways to free them from their paralyzed state.  The Foundation originally formed for the purpose of perfecting the elusive full-cyborg conversion, but quickly began to pursue other lines of research when--like most early cybernetic research groups--they found the metahuman body seemingly incapable of surviving the ""implant shock"" of having that much flesh replaced by cybernetic systems.<br/><br/>Their biggest breakthroughs came in the 2050's, when a mysterious benefactor provided them with an enormous influx of funding and research.  The Foundation believed that these boons came from a Yamatetsu corporate big-wig whose son had become shut-in due to neural damage inflicted by the release of an experimental ""attack"" nanite in a crowded mall by terrorists.  None of the research leads ever discovered the truth: their benefactor was none other than the emergent AI Deus, who provided them with ""miracle breakthroughs"" in the field and seemingly limitless funds not in hopes of helping paralyzed children, but rather to develop a means for successfully ""writing"" thought processes onto human bodies outside the Arcology.<br/><br/>They were successful, however.  The Foundation found effective, if limited, means of digital-biological exchange.  This was merely a stepping stone for their purposes--they still had to find a way to get the child's brain to 'accept' a new host body in the form of a clone or drone as well as transferring this ""mental snapshot"" of their consciousness into it--but it was all the rogue AI needed.  Just as they were on the eve of completing their research, the funding and data from their mysterious benefactor dried up, leaving the project half-complete.<br/><br/>The end they had stumbled upon was what they called the Zeroes: perfect, complete Type-O clonal bodies made possible by advances in metagenic research based on resequencing metagenes that expressed during SURGE previously believed to be ""junk"" or vestigial DNA.  Traditionally, Type-O clonal tissue was used to create replacements and grafts a user's body would accept; these perfect Zeroes were the opposite, bodies designed not to reject a ""foreign"" brain and to be capable of cultivating the necessary neural connections to make it become functional.<br/><br/>Desiree, initially, had no interest in becoming one a Zero.  Having grown up in her own personal Matrix-based ""Garden of Eden"", she had little concept of the outside world and even less interest, preferring to stay with her friends.  When one of the other young boys in the program--and her closest friend--accepted a Zero body and accepted a job with the UCAS government to pay off his massive medical debts, she became interested.  Not long after, the Arcology situation shed light on the Foundation and their mystery funding, causing the government to step in and shut down the program.  This time when they made the offer to transfer her consciousness into a Zero body, Desiree reluctantly agreed.<br/><br/>The UCAS military, as it turned out, was interested less in the biological potential of the Zeroes and more in the prodigal analytical skills they had developed during their ""youth"" as permanent denizens of cyberspace.  They were exceptional cyphers, analysts, and problem-solvers, and most of them had a phenomenal understanding of the Matrix.  They were, perhaps, better-equipped than almost anyone else to accept and incorporate the massive changes that came about with the advent of the Wireless World.<br/><br/>Though they wanted her primarily as a hacker, Desiree chose the field.  Throughout her formative she had loved strategy games, from Chess to massively complicated VR simulations, and she saw no particular difference between the ""real thing"" and the games of her youth.  As it turned out, her talents were not wasted in that capacity.  She quickly proved herself to be a capable field officer and, more importantly, a tactical genius capable of planning and carrying out missions most others wouldn't touch.  Twice she refused promotion to Major against massive protests from her superiors, citing her preference to remain in the field.  (Because it isn't any fun if you can't do it yourself, is it?)<br/><br/>Captain Grant was finally handed her first failure during a mission in the Philippines.  After recovering the target of their mission, her team became pinned down under fire from a sniper using an anti-tank rifle to shoot them through walls.  Grant quickly deduced that he had hacked a satellite and was using it to determine their positions, and formulated a plan, back-hacking through the satellite to determine his location, making her way toward it while feeding him false data to keep her pinned-down team members safe.<br/><br/>As she apprehended the sniper, however, she suddenly found her cybereyes shutdown.  The sniper escaped while an enemy hacker revealed his presence to her, spoofing an audio feed directly into her ears: the sniper was a distraction, only intended to make her uplink to the satellite and link her eyes to it while leaving her team behind.  A traitor on her team would deliver the package to the enemy hacker--and to erase the evidence, he had already called down a Thor Shot from the satellite to wipe the area clean, making sure that her ""signature"" from back-hacking the satellite was all over it.  To the government, it would look as if she and the traitor had defected and taken the mission's target with them, and the international incident caused by the Thor Shot would make it impossible for the UCAS to operate in the area to find out the truth.<br/><br/>Captain Grant did the only thing she could do: she ran.  Though she managed to bunker down before the Thor Shot fell and (barely) survived, she was powerless to stop her treacherous squad member from escaping with the target.  Never had she been so thoroughly and completely defeated and humiliated--or so completely alone.  The enemy assumed she was dead, while her higher command was quickly convinced she was a traitor.  Needless to say, she fled the Philippines as quickly as possible and went to ground as the UCAS issued a bounty for her capture.<br/><br/>Now referring to herself only by the initials DG (though those who know her often call her ""Captain"" or by her Matrix persona, The Conductor), she works the shadows to survive and in the hopes that she can pick up the trail of the soldier who betrayed her and--more importantly--the genius hacker who outsmarted her, the man who calls himself Descartes.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>DG is an extremely confident person, who tends to feel very little anxiety and even less apprehension.  This is, as much as anything, caused by the fact that she was ""raised"" in a simulated Matrix environment.  As a result, the sensory information she receives feels 'unreal' to her; she is capable of analyzing it in a completely rational and detached manner, with virtually no assumptions of prejudices.  This also keeps her from feeling uncomfortable in unusual situations or social circles; in the Matrix she was whoever she wanted to be whenever she wanted to be, and she just doesn't see any reason the real world should be any different.<br/><br/>DG also displays remarkable control over her emotions, again because she is not used to reacting to physical/biochemical cues so much as rationally analyzing information with her brain alone.  This keeps her from feeling strong attachments to people, places, or ideas; a fair accusation would be that she's a borderline-sociopath, in a sense, although she has a very strong sense of justice and ""fair-play"" resulting from the rigid rules that govern the interactions of things in the Matrix.  They're simply very different rules than those practiced by the rest of society.<br/><br/>As might be expected, she has a soft spot for children (in fact, she feels a bit lost in the adult world, having grown up outside of it) whose non-rigid thinking perhaps more closely resembles her own.  Despite her military experience, she does not feel the need for rigid discipline and doesn't stand on ceremony; if anything, she often fails to see the point in elaborate social rituals and traditional behaviors.  This can make her seem very rude and abrupt in certain situations, though she tends to adapt quickly due to her ability to rapidly and impartially analyze the reactions of others to her behavior.<br/><br/>Her favored method of Matrix-interpretation incorporates sound as much as visuals.  This relates directly to her analytical style: she is especially adept at finding patterns and ""making sense"" of data, much as a composer creates a logical sequence from the chaotic cacophony of dozens of different instruments all playing at the same time.  To her, there is no such thing as chaos--just some patterns that are harder to recognize than others."

The missive contains simple instructions:<em>Mr. J, Minty's, 3:30. Booth by the door.</em>. Such recommendations are not uncommon- fixers who can't effectively screen contracts don't stay in business-or breathing, for that matter-for long. A little more information might have been nice, but the people who are in a position to both afford your services and actually<em>require</em>them are not in the habit of giving away any unnecessary information. In fact, in most cases many clients will think twice before giving you required information.<br/><br/>In any event, by 3:27 in the morning several runners have gathered at<em>Minty's</em>, a dive of a local diner that caters to-or perhaps preys on, given their prices-the cops and manual laborers who need to be up before anything else is open, the thugs who desire the ambiance and anonymity, and the toughs who plain can't afford better. The place is fairly packed this morning, but true to the note a small booth has been left empty. The flaking paint dusted over the surface of the off-green table and the odd spring jutting through the cheap vinyl upholstered benches mark it as one of the house's less desirable seats, but at least it's close to the door and affords a good view of the street through the few windows that haven't been boarded over or covered in graffiti.<br/><br/>The booth itself is a bit too cramped for six people to sit  comfortably, so the runners are forced to pass their time getting to know each other a bit more than they may have wished, rusted springs and flattened padding doing their best to remind any tender body parts or expensive clothes of their presence.<br/><br/>At 3:30, nothing happens. At 3:31, however, a uniformed and presumably off-duty policewoman pushes herself neatly from a barstool at the counter and spins to face the booth, regarding the occupants impassively through thick sunglasses before pulling a chair up and gingerly seating herself at the edge of the table. ""I'm Mr. Johnson,"" she rasps, her voice laced with a highly unpleasant croaking sound that threatens to drone over each syllable. I need a team. It may be you, or it may not. In any case, you may consider this your audition."" She takes a moment to fish a thin strip of paper from her jacket pocket and places it unceremoniously on the table, flatly informing the group ""You're starting with something I can afford to have you screw up."" Gesturing to the paper, she continues ""You will be executing a tailchaser for me this morning. It is a low-security warehouse operated by one of the delightful gangs that spice up this city. You will have three objectives. Your primary objective will be to infiltrate this warehouse and achieve the total, uncompromising destruction of its contents. If you can handle it, your secondary objective will be to search their records on-site and determine who sold them their inventory. Finally,"" she continues, idly fidgeting with her glasses, ""At some time between 5:00 and 5:30, you must attract as much attention to the facility as you can. We would prefer it if you could draw as many of the gang's security personnel to that site as possible. Of course, if they catch you they will be happy to execute each and every one of you, so I would suggest that you make yourselves scarce after staging the distraction.""<br/><br/>She pauses for a moment and helps herself to a long, almost hostile glance around the table before she continues ""I am prepared to offer 1,000 nuyen to every runner upon the completion of this operation. If you are killed in the course of your activities, neither you nor your team will receive your share. If you are apprehended, or if you fail to stage a distraction, I will be displeased. If you succeed, I have real work I'll need you to get done."" She leans back in her chair and crosses both arms over her chest, blandly droning ""I will now take any questions you have."""

While everyone waited, she busied herself by trying to look impatient and uninterested, smoothing her short skirt down over the pink lace petticoat that peeked out from underneat, checking her nails whenever she wasn't tapping them on the table top, and all the while one foot in it's high-heeled oxford bouncing restlessly in a manner that was designed to be potentially annoying to those close to her. This was, of course, because Rhiannon was really studying everyone crammed into the booth with her, trying to gauge who they are and what they do by their appearances and reactions to each other, and herself. She wouldn't run their faces with her software, not yet, at least; that would certainly have to qualify as cheating. A fun little game to pass the time.<br/><br/>Once the Johnson appeared, Rhiannon listened impassively, keeping her face neutral, wondering why she'd be picked for this kind of a job? This sounded like the kind of thing you'd put together a proper strike team for, but not something that would require much in the kind of things Rhiannon was usually hired. Truth is, when bullets start flying, she much preferred finding something solid to hide behind while the samurai and the mage cleaned things up. However, by the Johnson's own admission, this was just a trial, which made Rhiannon curious.<br/><br/>""It sounds to me like all you need for this op is a hacker and demolitions with a few guns to back them up. Why then, would you need me, unless it's for the sequel you have in mind? Could you perhaps entice us with a hint of what the second job will be?""

She appears to be minimally modified, and at least while in disguise she displays no distinguishing features beyond her (presumably) damaged voice. DG's scan will reveal that at least on the surface, the Johnson appears to be an actual beat cop. It's impossible to find enough data to do a forensic match, but at a cursory level she is either a cop moonlighting as a Johnson or a lot of effort put into misdirection for such a low-level meeting.<br/><br/>""You seem to be under-estimating the sensitivity of the assignment,"" she comments, ""If you feel a straight assault followed by large-scale demolitions is sufficient to do the job. As you will likely see once you reach the address our last sweep showed it to have fairly robust security procedures. A straight assault would likely result in the destruction of the drives, evacuation of some or all of the cargo, and speedy reinforcement from the aforementioned nearby forces. I imagine that penetrating deep into the structure without setting off perimeter or internal alarms and neutralizing the guards before they have a chance to call in the assault will, at a minimum, require you to execute a staged operation on the fly with minimal planning, and accomplishing that without unnecessary casualties will, I hope, force you to milk the last bit of usefulness out of every team member."" She turns to regard Rhiannon, her eyebrow quirking a bit as she continues ""For instance, you seem to be a plastic face and a stolen uniform away from becoming an extremely useful forward scout. Walking in with your guns blazing would certainly satisfy the contract as well, but I am unfortunate to say that it would also force me to repeat this exercise with a new team after you lot had gotten yourselves killed, arrested, or executed.""<br/><br/>""As for the actual gang,"" she elaborates, ""They are a relatively new chapter of the Eye-Fivers, which is one of the reasons we're curious to see their records- the warehouse is located near the pier, and we're curious to see what could've brought them so far outside of Central- they had some business with the Ancients a few months ago, so whatever is worth their risking an open turf dispute must be big. And big for them is valuable for us.""<br/><br/>She shrugs a bit as several of the prospective runners predictably bring up the issue of their fee.

Regardless, I have no problem with you taking some of the warehouse's loot for yourselves. I understand most the space is being used to store a new brand of BTL chips, and their novelty will make them easy to track, but with a competent fence I am sure some of you could make a reasonable profit above and beyond the scope of what I'm prepared to pay for the assignment alone."""

27895,Dealing in Danger,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=84200.0,"19-10-2010, 06:06:44",Sophina,"Okay, here are the results of your investigation. You made multiple rolls to gather information, so some or all of this might be inaccurate depending on how successful you were.<br/><br/><strong> The Surrounding Area</strong><br/><br/>The target facility is located at the southernmost corner of a sprawling complex of warehouses situated by the freight docks. There is a fence and some cursory security at the entrance to the district, but it seems to be in place mainly to dissuade thieves and you note various vans and trucks entering and exiting the docks with some regularity. There are two freight vessels moored west of the objective and they seem to be offloading cargo, which creates a fair amount of traffic. You feel your best bet is probably using a nondescript vehicle and trying to blend in with the commercial traffic, as security isn't checking each individual vehicle.<br/><br/>The entrance to the district is the only real bottleneck: once inside the warehouses are sprawled in a lazy grid pattern, with parking lots and loading docks occasionally set adjacent to the larger structures. This affords you a lot of immediate routes away from the objective, but once you reach the perimeter you will have to either abandon your vehicle to jump the wall, demolish the wall, or go through the front gates. As the dock for the go-gang's warehouse shows some recent damage it is not in use, and a water entry or exit is another possibility, although the team isn't really equipped to organize one this late in the operation.<br/><br/>The gridlike arrangement of warehouses means long, straight sight lines that make for easy observation, but also make it difficult for an observer to remain unobtrusive. The same applies to any good sniping points: a shooter will either have to use one of the streets, making it easy for targets to escape the field of fire, or set up on top of the thin aluminum roof on a nearby warehouse, increasing their range but making themselves very obvious and risking tipping off anyone in the warehouse below, who could easily hear someone walking on the roof.<br/><br/><strong>The Warehouse</strong><br/><br/>There are currently two alert guards standing near the turrets that flank the warehouse's main entrance, and a small impromptu gathering area has been set up several yards away from the door. Between five and ten guards are gathered around, but they keep moving and going back inside, so it is difficult to maintain an accurate headcount. Most of the guards in the gathering area seem to be off duty or apathetic: there is a lot of drinking and the sound of various conversations, and you see at least one gang member entertaining a joygirl on the edge of a bench.<br/><br/>Patrols are intermittent, and it is difficult to find any pattern to them: guards will patrol in groups of one, two or three, leaving and returning on no set schedule and following a random route. Most of them are content to pace around the perimeter of the warehouse, but a few take it upon themselves to stroll past nearby warehouses and investigate any new vehicles that come within 2-3 buildings of their structure. The freight vessels are creating a lot of activity nearby, and because the high vehicle traffic makes it difficult to spot newcomers the guards are mostly content to ignore that section, trusting the bright lights and officious administrators and supervisors to police their own people.<br/><br/>There are no obvious structural modifications to the exterior of the warehouse, although some prominent dents and bulges in the metal of the walls suggests something bolted or otherwise secured to the thin metal inside. There is a great deal of refuse and trash scattered around the grounds, and numerous potholes in the parking lot and surrounding roads, and any competent trap expert could rig a variety of nasties in them, but it is difficult to definitively tell what is a trap and what is simple garbage.<br/><br/><strong>The Matrix</strong><br/>Most of the building is on a wireless matrix, but there's something weird about it and it's very difficult to pin down a coherent structure. The only thing you are able to determine definitively is that both of the sentry turrets are subscribed to something- they aren't using self-contained AI."

Alright well heres Kulgnar's sheet. I hope everyone enjoys him because I enjoyed writing him. Ill take a look into the character thread in a few minutes and see if I can figure out a way to work myself in<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/guardianangel98/dwarfwarriorrezised.jpg)</div>Name: Kulgnar Barrow<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Sexuality: Heterosexual<br/>Age: 45<br/>Race: Dwarf<br/>Class: Cleric (Torag)<br/>Alignment: LG<br/><br/>Description: Kulgnar stands a full four and a half feet tall, making him tall for a dwarf. Like most dwarves he has a heavy build and a lot of muscle on his body showing that he is the kind of man that exercises regularly. Unlike most of his race he has deep, almost pitch black, skin and fiery red hair that is worn long yet looks neatly tied back. His beard however is wild but not as long as one would expect for a man of his age (even though he’s quite young for a dwarf).<br/><br/>He often wears armor stained black over his ceremonial garbs which are always a dark color. He has a holy symbol of Torag tied to his left gauntlet and secured by a small steel chain.<br/><br/>Personality: Kulgnar is opinionated, often gruff, and accepting of those who prove themselves through action. Anyone spending a bit of time with him soon finds a quiet and compassionate man with an intense sense of justice and an iron will to uphold tradition yet whos not afraid to break away from it either. In trying times he often gives words of encouragement and direction, so that action may be taken. Although many find him slow to trust and accept, when one finally does they earn a true friend that would walk into Hades itself to help them.<br/><br/>Background: Kulgnar was born as a noble to the Stonearm clan, members of the aristocracy in the monarchy that ruled over the Gemline mountain’s (there name for the area so it can be fit anywhere), over forty years ago and from the time he could walk people saw the makings of a pious warrior for all their kind. Like all dwarves he was instructed in warfare, tradition, and crafting as a boy by his large family but early on his greatest interest was Torag’s temples and his teachings.<br/><br/>When he came of age Kulgnar choose to pursue a path with Torag and his clergy, and it was not long before he earned the right to summon some of the gods divine power. However during his studies he met a priestess named Helda along the same path. The two shared much of their time together and eventually fell in love with one another. However being that she was of common birth and his high standing in the city neither the clergy nor his family would approve of them seeing each other.<br/><br/>Kulgnar would not listen though, he knew where his heart was and he knew that Torag himself would bless their union if they eventually married, if they god had not approved he would have sent both mates a sign of some kind. To stubborn to be convinced differently he kept seeing Helda and ignoring his superiors and his family and it eventually led to the family seeking out other means to deal with the situation.<br/><br/>Late one night when they were returning from the local public baths they were accosted by a group of thieves and Helda was murdered. Kulgnar did not escape unscathed either but he beat them off and unknown to the men he had recognized a few of them. Days later he burst into one of the men’s homes with a handful of friends for revenge and beat the man within an inch of his life before he learned of his family’s involvement in the plot.<br/><br/>Enraged he took the plot directly to the mountain king and exposed everything, putting the thief before his majesty and arranged for his love to be buried in the cities hall of hero’s. When everything was said and done he burned a clan tattoo off his body, forsaked the clergy that he once called comrades, and decided to set out into the world. Since then he has walked the land, rendering whatever aid he can to others<br/><br/>Religion: Some would say dwarves like Kulgnar only worship Torag because of tradition and while this is partly true they miss the point that tradition is how clerics like him begin their worship but it is not why they continue. Kulgnar himself has felt the will of Torag and felt the power of him rushing through his veins whenever he casts a spell or renders aid to others. He feels that no other faith embodies the dwarven ideals as well as Torag and that Torag seeks to continue to forge the world, through his followers.<br/><br/>Level/class: 3 cleric<br/><br/><strong>Attributes</strong><br/>Strength 13<br/>Dexterity 10<br/>Constitution 12<br/>Intelligence 12<br/>Wisdom 18<br/>Charisma 12<br/><br/>Base attack bonus: +2<br/>Armor class: 20 = 10 +0 dexterity +9 armor +1 shield<br/>CMB/CMD: +3/13<br/>Fortitude save: +4 = +3 base +1 Constitution<br/>Reflex save: +1 = +1 base +0 Dexterity<br/>Will save: +7 = +3 base +4 Wisdom<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Knowlege(Religion): 7 = 3 ranks +1 intelligence +3 class skill bonus<br/>Heal: 7 = 3 ranks +4 wisdom +3 class skill bonus<br/>Spellcraft: 7 = 3 ranks +1 intelligence +3 class skill bonus<br/><br/><strong>Feats</strong><br/>Armor proficiency: Light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, light and heavy shields<br/>Weapon Proficiency: Simple weapons, battle ax, heavy pick, warhammer<br/>1st level Feat: combat casting<br/>3rd level Feat: Heavy Armor profieciency<br/><br/><strong>Special abilities</strong><br/>Acid dart (7/7 uses): 1d6+1 acid damage as a standard action.

His father, the source of his human side, is all but unknown to him... his mother refuses to speak of him, and all his grandparents would say is that he was conceived while his mother was in human custody, having been captured after a battle over the resources their home forest held.<br/>Although he got along with his family well enough, the rest of his village took a more typical view of him. The scorn was constant, and from the rougher elements, the occasional beating was far from unheard of. It was little suprise, then, that he left home as soon as he came of age, setting out to find his place in the world.<br/>His mother had been a proud defender of their homeland, a barbarian, strong of arm and skilled with her blade, and he'd originally intended to follow in her footsteps... but as time passed, and training did little to improve his strength, he was eventually forced to admit that he was too slight of build to weild a greataxe with any sort of effectivness. On the other hand, he'd quickly discovered in his travels that the humans of the world had no more respect for half breeds like them then the elves did, and, denied access to polite society, the underworld proved to be a natural destination.<br/>At first, with the difficulty he had finding work, it was stealing out of necessity (or at least, thats what he told himself, though he never seemed to hesitate to grab a bit more then he actually needed). Before long, he was working the streets regularily, disguising his heritege just enough to mingle with the population, and at every opportunity, relieve another poor sap of their coinpurse.<br/>While slightly short for his race, Ren is close to average for a human, which tends to work in his favor when he's trying to hide himself. His hair is long, and a bit messy, falling below his shoulders, again, helping to hide his ears when needed. Generally, when disguised, the most obvious sign of his heritage is his slender features, and his amber eyes. He dresses plainly, wearing cheap, but well made garments, in styles typical of lower to middle class peasants."

was in a terible fury and descended upon<br/><br/>the vast Forest of Brin.  As he burned, a beauteous girl with copper<br/><br/>tresses and golden skin emerged from a pool, clad in only droplets of<br/><br/>water, and begged him, ""Turn your fires away, great divinity, and permit<br/><br/>me to soothe you.""<br/><br/>The terible troll was taken with lust.  He closed his fist and snuffed<br/><br/>out the flames and let vented his extremes instead upon the nymph.  She<br/><br/>was horibly burned by his sadistic pleasure, but the forest was spared.<br/><br/>Her name was Brigitte.  She named the daughter of their union Aithne,<br/><br/>little flame and Aithne was the light of her life.<br/><br/>When Aithne came of age, she spent three full turnings of the moon mixing<br/><br/>poultices and medecines for her mothers scars and singing to her in her<br/><br/>sleep.  In the end, her beauty was restored.<br/><br/>A shy goddess at first Aithne would not aproach men, but nor would she<br/><br/>lash out at them.  In fact, if a man of pure heart prayed to her for<br/><br/>protection in the woods he might find a pursuer struck down by flame or a<br/><br/>lesson to make him strong.  Maidens, on the other hand, she would dance<br/><br/>with and heal their hurts.<br/><br/>When the darkness began a horible thing siezed Aithne and bound her will,<br/><br/>forcing her to dance so that her beauty might lure in victims.<br/><br/>With shining blade and faith in Ragathiel, Lucien Hawkwing severed the<br/><br/>dark filiments that bound her and destroyed the dark thing in epic battle<br/><br/>with no more hope for reward than a place to rest as he recovered form<br/><br/>his wounds.  Aithne could no longer deny the good that men could do,<br/><br/>though, and her heart sang in his pressence.  The goddess left her forest<br/><br/>too woo him.  The knight was sworn to chaste and courtly love for another<br/><br/>man's wife, but with loving kindness and tender care she learned all the<br/><br/>things that would make him happy, 'til he could no longer remember the<br/><br/>beauty of his distant an unatainable perfection.<br/><br/>She knew by then what touches made him tremble, and what looks would melt<br/><br/>his heart, and new that she could have his love body and soul, with but a<br/><br/>touch of her hand on his cheek and a tender becominging look.  She<br/><br/>waited, though, 'til they'd returned to court together, and he could see<br/><br/>his distant love for who she truly was, a small and manipulative woman<br/><br/>hiding behing the king's ring whenever her flirtation grew too bold.<br/><br/>Still she was there for him gently, and only in tender moonlight of<br/><br/>midsummer did she touch the magic place on his back again that melted his<br/><br/>soul and look at him with wide, inocent eyes and ask him to make a woman<br/><br/>of her.<br/><br/>A widdow now, Aithe is a woman still, and a goddess in truth.  She woos<br/><br/>her worshipers as she wooed her husband.  First with loving tenderness<br/><br/>does she heal their wounds.  Then with discipline and patience does she<br/><br/>teach them the martial dances.  When at last they are whole in mind and<br/><br/>body, she makes love to them, granting through intimacy conduits of power<br/><br/>from soul to soul and opening their hearts to all the secrets of love,<br/><br/>passion, healing, and power she has learned throuhgout her life.<br/><br/>*   *    *<br/><br/>Clerics of Aithe do not usualy know that they regularly interact with<br/><br/>their goddess in two guises.  They are brought to her temple hurt and<br/><br/>bleeding in soul or body, often tender hearted girls driven to attempt<br/><br/>suicide by the cruel

The fact that she seems to always adopt a combat ready crouch only strengthens the impression of her small stature and hides the deceptive strength in her small frame. Wild auburn-red hair flows freely down to the middle of her back, framing a face of rare beauty. Her eyes are green with flecks of gold and her lips a kissable shade of pink. With a bust that would be considered large by elven standards and her slim body, she would be well regarded if she ever cleaned the green and brown war paint from her bronze skin. Clad in leathers cut as much for protection as comfort and silence when moving through the forest and with a longbow bow slung over her shoulder and the two wickedly curved knives resting at her hip, she presents an alluring, if decidedly savage visage, something she seems to be oblivious to herself. A forest green cloak, much stained with mud as much to help camouflage as from long use, provides warmth and protection against the elements.<br/><br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Falcon is convinced that her sister was taken by humans, probably by  magical means. That added to the invasion has resulted in a great distrust of all things human, especially the Black Trench, which she hates with a passion. She ventured beyond the forest to search for her twin, but is in denial about fact that the likelihood of ever finding her is slim at best. Her reason for traveling has by now more or less been reduced to a  mission of vengeance, trying to kill every agent of the Black Trench she can, but she would never admit to herself that her cause is anything but a rescue quest.  She is slow to trust, having really only taken to Tearsong and keeps away from humans when she can, only gradually allowing Tearsong to coax her into human villages.<br/><br/><br/>Background:<br/>Tanna spent the better part of her youth running the hidden trails in the forests of Runefell with her twin Vanna. Always the wilder of the pair, she was quickly nicknamed Falcon for her screeching battle cries. Tanna took to more martial pursuits, learning swordplay and the bow and arrow, while Vanna who embraced the spiritual ways, became known as the Dove for her quiet, peaceful ways. As such, they were perfectly matched, warrior and spell caster and as sisters, nigh inseparable. The small isolated settlement of Willow's Hollow in which their family lived, lay on the edges of the forest and for the most part, life was peaceful. Then the Black Trench Empire invaded and their peaceful lives changed. Both sisters took up arms to help defend their ancestral home, each in the way that best suited their personalities. Falcon took to the forests with the ranger patrols, poaching patrols of human soldiers while Dove spent her days dispensing healing magic and other spells in service to the tribe. Both were unused to spending so much time apart, but the realities of war demanded it of them and they adapted.<br/><br/>One fateful day, when Falcon was out on patrol, the small group of healers and spell casters Dove was traveling with simply vanished in the forest. An extensive search of the area they had been in yielded few clues. The elves tracked the missing group to a secluded clearing but then the tracks simply vanished. There were no signs of a battle, no spent arrows, no weapons dropped or bloodstains in the grass, no bodies and no tracks to follow other than the ones that had led them there. It was if the elves had simply vanished.<br/><br/>The days went by and after a time the rest of the tribe mourned the lost as if dead. Refusing to give up on her twin sister, Falcon ranged the surrounding area, finding nothing but the odd Black Trench patrol which quickly met her fury. Never before having left the protection of the forests, Falcon dreaded what she had known she would have to do from the first moment she had heard about her sister's disappearance. Venturing beyond the trees into human lands to find her sister.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Tearsong and Falcon:<br/><br/>It was certainly on odd site Tearsong saw approaching. She'd found elf girls confident and relaxed, elf girls arrogant and confused, and once an elf girl bruised, in tears, and freshly ravished. She'd never before though found, not far from a more or less peaceful village, an elf girl tarred, feathered, and run out of town in a well understood panic. She had to use her seductive touch magic to dazzle the girl to keep herself from being run through by the superior fighter in her paniced flight, whisking her away from the angry crowd. Once she calmed, it took a blend of orisons for creating water, orisons for mending, and a full cake of soap to get the girl clean before she died of exposure from the experience. Then she could be healed of the unpleasant effects of giving offence through sheer ignorance to surly but normally unaggressive villagers.<br/><br/>The two traveled together for some time, Falcon learning the ways of the human world and reluctantly appreciating the companionship of a snuggly girl who played a similar roll in their lives to her twin, Tearsong somewhat awed by the elf's beauty and honored by her companionship even as her innate magic told her that this girl was especially needful of her touch and her companionship."

It thrived mainly on its fishing industry but was also home to a few  factories and warehouses, the most prominent thing about Ashcroft however was in where it was situated. The town lay upon the coast and followed its shape with houses and buildings doting the landscape, behind it was backed by forests and wilderness and the looming Victorian style asylum.  The asylum was of course not used any longer not like it once had been, mental patients and those who required care where now handled within the wards of Ashcroft general Hospital or in the few care homes that where situated in the town.  The city had its fair share of tourists who came to take in the sea air and views and enjoy the local history and coastal tunnels and caves, many people also choose Ashcroft as a place to retire. Urban legends and myths surrounded the town with the rumours of  haunted locals and the terrors of the asylum fuelling local gossip, most prominent of all where the tales of the sea devils the dangers of the reefs and cliffs and the rumours of strange goings on upon Devil's Rock. Of course none but the superstitious believed these tales for they where spread by none other than the sailors and fishermen that frequented and made the town there home.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align=""center""><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Lost Girl</span></strong></div><br/>How she came to be walking down the dark forgotten road to Ashcroft she could no remember, barefoot and clad in ragged clothing and a dirty worn and torn sheet she wandered on towards the distant town.

The door opened although she remembered not opening it, events seamed to progress as if watched through the blurred eyes of another as memory begun to fade once more. The man in the car shook and came to his senses turning to look around for the girl again the mans face was fixed with a look which scarred her mind. He struggled against the drivers side door before everything went black the last thing upon her mind the sound of a soul chilling scream, a deep guttural alien voice which spat forth unknown verse with spite, mingled in with it all was the blurred crackle of the radio as it sputtered back to life.<br/><div align=""center""><br/>“Earth Angel..Earth Angel The One I Adore, Love You Forever And Ever More..I am Just A Fool A Fool In Love With You.”</div><br/>Light blinded her eyes once more as she awoke her form slumped in a ditch she sat up and found her feet glancing into the light.  The sound of another car drowning out the static from the crashed car's radio.

Forced to flee to more sylvan surroundings, cut off from most civilization, with just a small rural community nearby allowing for any civilized contact. It was here that Nat was raised, among the animals of the forest and the occasional human contact from the nearby village. Learning a myriad of skills from her parents, as well as the proper worship of Freya, Natacia might have wanted for friends but was otherwise brought up as well adjusted as the circumstances allowed. Still, she could not stay with her parents forever...although her desire to leave took her further then she had ever hoped. While she had left home with their blessings, her parents thought she would remain close to them...instead it was her first and only visit to the port town that the thrill of her first journey alone overcame her good sense. She stowed away on a ship, heading to New Elmwood and a fate far different then she likely suspects.<br/><br/>Personality: Nat presents a far different mien then those typical of her upbringing might possess. She's fascinated by cities, and wishes to spend more time among different people, rather then hide away in a forest. Unfortunately for her civilization has many traps for the unprepared. While in natural settings her skills allow her to recognize many dangers, to tell if the howl in the distances means you're on the list as prey tonight, her lack of experience among ""civilized"" folk puts her at a disadvantage. She's not stupid, and obvious traps will still be obvious to her, but she wouldn't recognize dangers that urban types might be more wary of (such as accepting a drink from a stranger).<br/><br/>(I'm familiar enough with rules to make my own character, but if you'd prefer to handle chargen I won't throw too much of a fit ;) especially since you know what house rules you intend to use.)"

People tend to imagine Elves in the wilderness, or in fairy tale cities. Not living in the Sailmakers next door. But thats where he was born. His parents told him that they were refugees, that they had fled from some illness or other. Never mattered to him. His Father was a Sailmaker, and he was the 11th of 13 children. Elves are long lived, and his parents had the coin to support them. But Invril was left to his own devices most of the time. At first, he ran with a group of half elves, and few pure blooded ones like him, but as he got older, he picked up an interest in the seedier side of things. He became a thief. His parents threw him out soon after they discovered his new vocation.<br/><br/>Invril lived on his wits or a very long time. He stole what he could, making his living as a thief, brigand, and pick pocket at times. He headed to New Elmwood because it was the place the first ship he found when the guards were hunting for him was going. He intends to see what he can find, and if nothing turns up, maybe head back home.<br/><br/>Personality: Invril is self-centered, and fairly greedy. He tends to prioritize geting what he likes before anything else, be it gold, women, or anything else. He wouldn't call himself evil, but he walks that line. He is fairly loyal to his friends, and protective of what he thinks of as belonging to 'him' however. He is a thief, and he isn't ashamed of it. He is however, a fairly good one."

Or was Nat simply abandoned as unwanted? No real clue was left behind by the time she was found by the druids living among the wolves. It took a while, but with the help of a curious sage they were able to teach the girl human things, how to speak, to read and write, how to interact with her own kind, Some of these lessons even stuck with her. He wasn't the one who introduced her to the arts of worship though; it was the discovery of an abandoned shrine that awoke a curious devotion in the young girl, and during the many times she had to herself she restored (in a crude fashion) the shrine, guided by intuition. This would occupy her for a good long while.<br/>But while she was just coming into the prime of her life, the sage who had been her caretaker was getting old, old enough that he could hardly keep track of her. So gifting the young girl with a few treasures that had been recovered from the woods and sent her out among the great wild world. It was her inexperience and rampant curiosity that got her into the mess she was in; while she could just about manage to handle herself during her first visit to the port city, her sneaking aboard one of the ships out of a great desire to see the inside caused her to accidently become a stowaway to New Elmwood.<br/><br/>Personality: Nat isn't dumb despite her feral upbringing. She did mostly pay attention to what her surrogate father taught her. It's just that many social graces (in fact, many rules of society in general) she finds stupid or unnecessary. She knows enough to play along most of the time, but if she's in the wrong mood she'll not be so willing to do things she finds stupid. She's also not very good with lies and deception, and can be easy to fool at times. On the other hand, she's also likely to react VERY poorly when she does discover the truth. Civilization though doesn't complete drive her away...there's many things to be fascinated about. She just doesn't have enough experience to avoid traps for the unwary; no street smarts at all."

Rejecting her father's northern gods she chose to serve the goddess Athena. Though her father originally disapproved, seeing his daughter with spear and shield like a shieldmaiden of the saga's changed his views and he gave her additional training.  As is required by the goddess of her serveants she has taken an oath of chastity, if she willingly breaks this oath she forfeits her paladin status (rape, coercion or bespellment are exempt). She has volunteered for the difficult task of spreading the message of Athena on the new continent and bringing justice to the barbarians. A strapping blonde warrior, Shona wields a spear as her primary weapon as befits a follower of Athena, but has a longsword for those times when hacking weapons are necessary.

He could also have been given information upon the lost girl by his client and perhaps have been told to investigate her and find her if possible or discover her fate.  She believed to have been kidnapped by the a cult elsewhere but she is unlikely to be the only victim but she is perhaps the strangest as reports of sightings of a strange wild girl have begun to surface in the local area.<br/><br/><strong>Reporter:</strong>The reporter is perhaps looking for a story which involves rumored corruption and the possibility of cover ups within the town, people have been know to go missing and vanish in Ashcroft many claimed by the sea others explained away as suicides but some suspect more sinister goings on.<br/><br/><strong>Doctor:</strong>The Doctor may wonder as to why some of the cities occupants refuse her care and what the truth is behind the old Asylum, It was supposedly closed and is abandoned but people speak of lights on and of hearing cries and noises from the place when they pass of a night.  No one dares go near the place and the gates and gardens are permanently closed to the public.  One might wonder why such a facility would be left to rot and decay and the gardens go untended.  But of more interest perhaps are the strange markings and wounds that have sometimes been found upon the bodies discovered in Ashcroft, as well as this there are rumors of strange sea life within the caves and reefs.  More than one sailor has claimed to have being bitten by large bizare leech like creatures.<br/><br/><strong>Police:</strong>It's hard to be the only female officer and it can leave one feeling left out but far more than that is the recent feeling of not being told everything.  From within the Police there seams a secrecy almost the Chief of Police and his select few officers seam to handle affairs closely and be quick to stamp out any silly rumors of murder or danger in the town of Ashcroft. More and more there seams to be a growing dislike of outsiders many of the Police seam to be taking the view that outsiders are ruining there town and cause nothing but trouble. The fact that it is usually the outsiders who end up a suicide victims or dying in horrible accidents does perhaps lend some credence to this but one could hardly call that ""trouble"".<br/><br/>"

Then there are the wise kids who are the only one who seem to care what is happening in the class. As the day goes on the bell for lunch break goes off. Students rush out of the classrooms and to the cafeteria to eat or just talk with their friends.

The teachers trying their best to hold the situation in place but even they realize this is more than a simple earthquake.

Then something is heard and everything goes black to the members of the school, the explosion happened.<br/><br/>A couple of minutes later some students wake up in a very beautiful plains. Nothing but flowers and the view of the mountains at the distance. A planet can also been seen in the sky very close to where you are. There is no signs of a building ever been there and the flowers all around you seem to be there for years without being interrupted.

And check over that report due the period after that one last time.<br/><br/>Sighing, he paused, the hallway ahead blocked off by a particularly thick crowd, his attempts to push through proving futile. He tried to squeeze between the lockers and the people... and then suddenly there was a rumble, and people were pushing back... no, not pushing, falling! He tried to squirm free of the panicking crowd, but he felt himself shoved against the locker again, and this time it was the locker that shoved back, banging his forheadhead as it fell atop him, pain shooting through his head for a split second before he blacked out.<br/><br/>The pain was better by the time he came to, just a dull soreness, and a hopefully not-too-visible bump... and oddly enough, he couldn't feel the locker on top of him, just the warmth of the sun. The sun? He had been on the first floor, there was no way everything above had caved in, had it? Confusion on his face, he sat up... and gasped at the sight of the flowers around him. Getting a bit unsteadily to his feet, he looked around, looking for any sign of the hallway, of the school, of the city... heck, of any sort of civilization, looking a bit nervous as he started looking closer, wading through the tall grass as he raised his voice a bit ""Hello?

The bell rang signaling the end of class and all the students stood up from their chairs. The teacher walked back over to his desk and held his hands out to the room “Now everyone don’t forget your labs are due tomorrow.” Laina smiled to herself she had already finished hers days ago when Mr. Tanaka had assigned it. She strained her glasses and brushed a piece of her dark brown hair out from in front of her face then grabbed her books and headed out into the hallway. She took a left and started heading for the Library one of her favorite places in the school since she had a small break before her next class. When she got to the library she returned the smile from the librarian on duty and went over to the magazine section grabbing an article from a science magazine on physics that looked particularly interesting.  She curled up in a chair and began to read as she loved to do when the ground shook a bit. She looked up from her magazine startled what the hell seismic activity here. She waited a moment but when nothing more happened she started reading again thinking to herself must have just been a small one. Then the ground started shaking tremendously and she could hear the sounds of students screaming and bookshelves falling all around her.  Before she could react the floor split behind her and the chair she was in toppled backwards sending her falling into the darkness.<br/><br/>She opened her eyes starring up into the sky flat on her back. She could feel grass on her legs and brushing up against her body. Wait a minute grass? But she had been indoors hadn’t she. Her ears twitched on top of her head. What the hell twitched!!? With a look of confusion and surprise she slowly reached her hands to the top of her head and grasped her ears. Despite everything she knew telling her it was not possible she felt a pair of fuzzy fox ears. She pinched down on one of the ears and was awarded with a stab of pain. She yelped and let go of her ears becoming suddenly very aware of the heavy weight coming from her backside just above her ass. She stood up and slowly turned her head absently noticing as her much longer hair flew by her face the silver color and looked down at her backside. The sight that greeted her was two large silver fox tails. She gasped and one of her tails twitched. She closed her now violet eyes and tried to tell herself she had hit her head and was just dreaming. Then she heard other voices around her and she opened her eyes and saw more people around her dressed in her school’s uniforms.<br/>

I mean after all it would be scientifically impossible for a human being to have a pair of extremities that appear to be from a creature of the genus Vulpes.” She kept hoping the more scientific she made it all sound the clearer it would get. As if in contradiction to her statement her tails twitched in agitation and her ears moved as if of their own accord.<br/>

She thought about saying something as he reached for one of her tails but still trying to tell herself they weren’t real she kept her mouth shut. Despite her mind trying to tell her it was all an illusion her body could feel when Takuma lifted one of her tails into his hand. When he began to stroke the tail in his hands a tingle shot up her spine and she had to bite her lip to keep from gasping. The feeling was strange but also pleasurable. Frightened by the evidence of the impossible event affecting her she managed to stammer out “plea… please stop that.” When the young man asked her for her name she tentatively held out her hand and said “Laina…. Laina Sinclaire.” She added as almost an afterthought “I still don’t see how any of this can possibly be real.”

Tendrils of her quaint, blue-violet hair clung to the young girl's face and neck, glued there by the sweat of a long march in the sun. Her whole body glistened with that sweat, and a gentle breeze stirred her long hair and the rose-pink bow which she wore tied around her torso, just beneath her voluminous breasts, partly in the hopes that it would help to prevent them from bouncing as she moved; it didn't help much.<br/><br/><br/>She strolled past the guards and peasantry, oblivious to any stares or crass remarks they may have thrown at her, and after a little exploration found the closest tavern. The girl entered, seating herself on an empty stool at the bar and wiping her forehead with her arm before asking the bartender for some water. She reached down to her waist and drew out her dwindling coin pouch, waiting for the man to name a price; she would have to find some work soon to fatten it up, or traveling would become more difficult."

His father was a member of City Watch, and his mum a homebody. He spent his childhood playing in the city streets of Cormyr, just one of the many children of the lower class. Things were tight, but they didn't starve. When he came of age, he joined up with the City Guard, taking the Shortsword, Club, and Crossbow. The Cormyr City Guard gave the great Arivel his first training with weapons. Not many remember that.<br/><br/>He stayed with the guard for a few years, before things turned bad for the new guard. He broke up a Bar Fight, rapping a few people on the head who decided that settling down seemed less fun then continuing. He dragged those off to a Cell, not noticing the finery of one of them. He'd thrown them in the cell before the Jailer recognized the idiot as a noble. Arivel took the news remarkably weel. In that he thought out a plan before hightailing it out of Cormyr. He caught a ship to Westgate, and joined up the first caravan out of there. That was where the legend of Arivel really took off, if one is stupid enough to call it that.<br/><br/>He travelled far and wide, serving as a Caravan Guard, City Watchman, Mercenary, whatever he had to do to get coin. He travelled with all sorts. Wizards, from whom he picked up the Art of magic. Clerics, whom he learned to trick their gods into interceding for him once or twice. Scholars, Thieves, Warriors, Rangers, all have numbered in his employers or comrades. And he's learned from each of them. Not enough to call himself a master. Just enough to scrape by. He's wandered all over, constantly moving on when the chance came. And honestly, he's enjoyed himself. But he always wanted to come back home. And finally hes gotten the hardchance. The Noble got himself knifed over something, Arivel hardly cares what. And Arivel boarded the next ship to Cormyr.<br/><br/>He'd been back home for a few weeks now. He's visited some graves, spoken with mostly forgotten friends, and spent a lot of time in his old tavern. And now... he is ready to do something else. Cormyr isn't his home anymore. He isn't Guardsman Durvesh. He's outgrown whatever place he had in Cormyr, and it isn't his home any longer.

As such, Toria uses her mother's surname of ""<em>Southwind</em>"". When their tryst was discovered by a rival noble in 1348 looking for a way to either win favor over him or shame him, Toria's mother thought it best to protect the man she loved and returned home to Calimshan.<br/><br/>Young Southwind found it hard to grow accustomed to the desert winds and heat of Calimshan, though it was in no small part thanks to her father's donations accrued over her lifetime that a small trinket that, when attatched to her clothing, protected her from the heat. For some time however, the girl still complained about the sand. There is honestly no pleasing children.<br/><br/>By the time she was fifteen, Toria had taken well to the homeland of her mother, the pair still receiving money from her absent father in far-off Cormyr, much to the displeasure of his wife, whom he had married some years before more for political reasons than affection.<br/>While on the subject of affection, the teenager had begun to have feelings for a member of a group of youths she usually accompanied by the name of Rois Dawnfast, to her an excellent swordsman and tutor, a companion with whom she had shared many a night talking and no more than one or two quick kisses as the pair were still awkward and unwary on the subject of love.<br/>It was during this time of butterfly kisses that the pair were recruited by the Harpers, one of their agents having witnessed them aiding in the capture of a wanted criminal, a thief that had stolen a great deal of money the day before. Toria and Rois seemed to work perfectly in unison, she managing to call upon magic to dizzy and halt the thief, while he using non-lethal force to subdue and capture him. It was only sheer luck, thanks to Tymora Toria supposed, that they had been in the right place in the right time, and her keen-eyed beau had seen posters of his likeness around the city.<br/>Of course, one act hardly makes anyone truely worthy to join the Harpers, but it did allow the agent to narrow in on the pair, choosing to stay to moniter them further to see if they might live up to the ideals and standards of the organisation.<br/><br/>In time, their mettle was proven through word, deed and reputation in their community. The pair, and one or two others in their social circle, were formally invited to join the organisation. To be trained as valiant upholders of balance and that which the group considered good. With her mother's blessing, Toria left the sand-infested lands and headed north to a more lush, green environment to be trained alongside Rois and others so that they may one day prove themselves true Harpers.<br/><br/>In 1370 when the Goblin War began in Cormyr, Toria's superiors in the Harpers sent her to protect the land of her birth. With the general autonomy granted within the group she broke off from the companions she had arrived in the country with, choosing to direct any aid she might give toward the defence of the lands in and around Arabel along with her father, while one or two joined her most went to other parts of Cormyr to bolster defences of other townships and communities. Though the aid provided was greatly limited in relation to the invading hordes, Cormyr's army prevailed and the Elf-Dragon and its horde defeated, as the cost of the king's life along with many of the citizenry. During the time of the conflict, Toria was always thankful to Tymora that Rois had not been assigned to go with her.<br/><br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>SOURCES</td></tr><tr><td>Beguiler<br/>Swiftblade<br/>Able Learner<br/>Arcane Strike<br/>Easy Travel<br/>Called<br/>Crystal of Adaptation</td><td>  - Players Handbook 2<br/> - Wizards.com/dnd<br/> - Races of Destiny<br/> - Complete Warrior<br/> - Magic Item Compendium<br/> - Magic Item Compendium<br/> - Magic Item Compendium</td><td>  - P 009<br/> - Here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070327)<br/> - P 150<br/> - P 096<br/> - P 010<br/> - P 009<br/> - P 024</td></tr></tbody></table>"

Dev'lan even joined an adventuring team at one point, doing odd end jobs for them, such as negotiations and translation (only made possible by his bard magic).  Dev'lan traveled with them for almost a year, until a bandit group, led by a half-orc by the name of Dro'luk, attacked them while they slept. Dev'lan was out of magic energy for the day, and the only weapon that he found was a Bastard sword lying on the ground. He picked it up and attempted to save his companions, but to no avail, he was too late, the bandit leader, had already called a retreat, leaving Dev'lan as the only survivor.<br/><br/>Dev'lan went back to his hometown, never once letting that heavy sword out of his hand. He Trained in the art of combat, to make sure something like this never happened again. Dev'lan attempted to seek out the Bandit group that killed his companions, but he never found them. He single handily took out camp after camp of bandits, never finding the specific one. He went back home, and decided it was time to move on. He picked up his lute, and his sword and decided it was time to find a new group of companions to spend his days with.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Appearance/Personality </span><br/><br/>Dev'lan stands about 5'3"", Is slender with a bit of muscle on him. His hair is loose and log that goes down to his buttocks, his face too very slender and smooth despite having a few cuts on it from previous battles. His eyes are an emerald  green, and have a gleam that when mixed with a sly smile, looks like a man without a care in the world.  Dev'lan always has the same smile and careless feel to him regardless how he really feels on the inside. He could by dying and still cheer everyone on with a bard song. Dev'lan feels as though its not his job to be happy, but to make everyone else happy. Dev'lan takes the teams motivation as his personal duty, so he is quick to blame himself if the team is down.<br/><br/>Dev'lan is very kind, or at least tries to be. He has a few slip ups, and times where he annoys or pranks his fellow party members for the sake of a few laughs, but nothing ever serious. Be is chivalrous and always helps a women or child in need.<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Personality quirks (flaws and weaknesses) </span><br/><br/>He is very attached to his Lute, and Bastard sword. He can't bring himself to getting rid of them, regardless what other weapon or Instrument may fall in his path. He would get very upset if something were to happen to them.<br/><br/>His chivalry strikes him back a few times, for he finds it hard to bring himself to harming a women or child, regardless of how evil they are, or what they had done.<br/><br/>He has a fear of spiders, heights, and deep water as well. Going near any of these would be difficult for him.<br/>"

Keep in mind that I will do all the rolling, and determining the outcome of such actions, so there's no need to know. This is only here for the interested people:<br/><br/><strong>Solo check</strong>:<br/>When your character is trying something difficult that is not affecting another character, I determine the most relevant statistic and take it's score. I determine the difficulty of success and take the required value from the list below. I roll one (sixsided) die, and add it to the statistic's score. If the result equals or exceeds the required value, the action is a success. Otherwise, the action fails.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>4 - Very easy.</li><li>6 - Easy.</li><li>8 - Somewhat easy.</li><li>10 - Somewhat hard.</li><li>12 - Hard.</li><li>14 - Very hard.</li><li>16 - Practically impossible.</li></ul>For example: Your character is trying to open a lock to a sealed door. This would go by Perception, as it's a delicate task. Let's say your character has a Perception of 6. The lock is of moderate quality, so I set the difficulty to ""Hard"". However, your character brought some pins with her, and she's using them, so that shifts the difficulty to ""Somewhat hard"". The required number becomes 10. I roll a die for you, and add that die to the Perception skill of 6. If I roll a 4 or more, your character manages to unlock the door. If I roll a 3 or lower, your character fails to unlock the door.<br/><br/><strong>Opposed check</strong>:<br/>When your character is trying something difficult that is affecting another character, I determine the most relevant statistic and take it's score. I determine the most relevant statistic of the target character and take it's score as the required number. I determine which character has the advantage, if any, and add the related value to the required value. I roll one (sixsided) die, and add it to the active character's statistic's score. If the result equals or exceeds the required value, the action is a success. Otherwise, the action fails.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>+0 - Active character has a large advantage.</li><li>+2 - Active character has a small advantage.</li><li>+4 - Neither side had an advantage.</li><li>+6 - Target character has a small advantage.</li><li>+8 - Target character has a large advantage.</li></ul>For example: Your character is trying to sneak past a watchman. This would go by your Agility and his Perception. Let's say your character has an Agility of 5. The watchman has a perception of 6. It is dark, giving you the advantage, but the watchman has an oil lamp, making it only a small advantage. The required number becomes 8. I roll a die for you, and add that die to the Agility skill of 5. If I roll a 3 or more, your character manags to pass unnoticed. If I roll a 1 or 2, the watchman will notice your character."

To use magic, even if the power is provided by an external source, you need to have some knowledge that type of magic, which is reflected by magic ranks. The higher your rank, the more powerful your spells are. Mortals that did not study magic usually have a rank of 0 (none) in most schools, but might have a rank of 1 (very weak) in one or two schools as natural affinity. This does not enable them to wield that type of magic without an outside source. Mortals that did study magic can have ranks up to 5 (very strong). Demons usually have a strong affinity to most schools, but almost all demons are weak at one or two schools.<br/><br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>0 - Unable to channel magic related to this school.</li><li>1 - All magic related to this school has a reduced effect. Channeling magic related to this school is always taxing.</li><li>2 - All magic related to this school has regular effect. Channeling magic related to this school to provide minor effects is not taxing.</li><li>3 - All magic related to this school has an increased effect. Channeling magic related to this school to provide minor effects is not taxing.</li><li>4 - All magic related to this school has a greatly increased effect. Channeling magic related to this school to provide minor effects is not taxing.</li><li>5 - All magic related to this school has a greatly increased effect. Channeling magic related to this school is not taxing.</li></ul><br/><strong>Alteration</strong>:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Alteration magic alters objects and creatures.</li><li>You can turn one object into another. These effects are permanent.</li><li>You can cure your own wounds and those of your allies, or create wounds in the bodies of your enemy. These effects are permanent.</li><li>You can alter the appearance of yourself or other creatures, including adding and removing features. Powerful alterations can even add and remove limbs, or grow or shrink someone in size. Unwilling creatures have a chance of resisting the effect. These effects are permanent, but each body inherits the memory of it's original shape, so even the weakest wielder of alteration magic can restore a creature to it's original form.</li><li>You need to touch objects and creatures that you want to alter. Your strength increases the chance of successfully touching an unwilling creature. Your target's agility reduces the chance of successfully touching that creature. Note that is it not required to touch objects or creatures by hand. Any part of your body touching any part of the object or the target's body will suffice. You do not need to touch yourself when altering your own body.</li></ul><br/><strong>Conjuration</strong>:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Conjuration magic brings forth objects and creatures from locations far, far away.</li><li>You can call for items at your disposal. Items are normally mundane. Only the strongest of magic wielders can conjure items that inherit magic power. Items are permanently conjured and cannot return.</li><li>You can summon creatures to aid you. Creatures you summon will usually start out with a friendly attitude towards you, but you do not have full control over them. Summoned creatures will turn hostile towards you if you threaten them, make improper and unfair demands, or continue to render their services without dismissing them after an appropiate time. The stronger the summoned creature, the less cooperative it is required to be. Summoned creatures remain until you dismiss them or lose consciousness (sleep and death included).</li><li>You can summon yourself and perhaps others to a distant location, basically teleporting yourself. The more distant the location, the less accurate your point of arrival is. The better knowledge you have of the destination, the more accurate your point of arrival is. If you can see the location you want to teleport to, be it with your own eyes, through a mental link, or through an occult scrying effect, the point of arrival is completely accurate.</li><li>You can summon Demons to the mortal plane. You better be ready to handle them, as the conjuration magic itself does not bind them to your will. If you know a Demon's true name, you can decide to summon that specific Demon, even if it is already in the world of mortals.</li></ul><br/><strong>Enchantment</strong>:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Enchantment magic affects the minds of other creatures.</li><li>You can provide creatures with suggestions, that would suddenly sound reasonable to them. Your charm increases the chance of success. The will of the target reduces the chance of success. Reasonable suggestions increase the chance of success, while unreasonable suggestions reduce the chance of success. The effect ends when the creature has completed your suggestion, or until you cancel the effect or lose consciousness (sleep and death included).</li><li>You can instantly negate enchantment effects on other creatures.</li><li>You can imprison summoned demons within a magic circle. When summoning a Demon, you can cause the Demon to appear within the circle. Otherwise, the Demon needs to be tricked or pushed into the circle. The Demon can try to resist the binding effect of the circle, but you are considered to have a large advantage.</li><li>Enchantment magic has no effect on mindless creatures.</li></ul><br/><strong>Evocation</strong>:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Evocation magic channels raw energy, including sources of light, sound and smell.</li><li>You can shoot lightning from your hands, or set enemies aflame. Your perception increases the chance of hitting the target. The agility of the target reduces the chance of hitting the target.</li><li>You can illuminate areas with magical light, or shroud them in magical darkness.</li><li>You can create illusionary effects, or suppress actual light, sound and smell.</li></ul><br/><strong>Necromancy</strong>:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Necromantic magic controls life and death, tapping the lifeforce of living creatures or interacting with the deceased.</li><li>You can cure the effects of alcohol, diseases and poison. Strong necromancers can even cure death itself.</li><li>You can inflict diseases and poison in the bodies of those you touch.</li><li>You can steal the energy required to channel spells of those you touch. By touching someone with energy, you can steal some of his or her energy and possibly even gain it for yourself. Energy gained this way can exceed your regular amount of energy, but will fade away after a night of rest. Note that Sorcerers and Witches that draw upon energy this way gain it for themselves, not their Demon partners, and would use this to channel magic by their own might (using a very low Magic Power score of 0).</li><li>You can talk to corpses and spirits of the deceased.</li><li>You can animate corpses or part thereof as mindless skeletons and zombies, that will do your bidding. Strong necromansters can also create spirited undead, that regain their free will, but remain as undead.</li><li>You need to touch objects and creatures that you want to affect. Your strength increases the chance of successfully touching an unwilling creature. Your target's agility reduces the chance of successfully touching that creature. Note that is it not required to touch objects or creatures by hand. Any part of your body touching any part of the object or the target's body will suffice. You do not need to touch yourself when affecting yourself.</li></ul><br/><strong>Occult</strong>:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Occult is basically the collection of everything that does not fall under the other five schools.</li><li>You can look into past scenes of a specific location or object.</li><li>You can scry upon areas far away.</li><li>You can mentally talk to creatures far away.</li><li>You can enhance objects to make them more powerful or increase their effectiveness in combat. This effect is temporary. Strong magic wielders can make this effect permanent.</li><li>Anything else that does not fall under any of the other five schools, falls under the Occult.</li></ul><br/><hr/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><em>The Demon's pact</em></span></span></div><hr/><br/>The Demon's Pact is an agreement between a mortal and a Demon, granting magic power to the mortal, and allowing the Demon to remain in the world of mortals.<br/><br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Both the mortal and the Demon will learn each other's true name as part of establishing the Pact.</li><li>A mental link is established between the mortal and the Demon. Both the mortal and the Demon are always aware of each other's general emotions, as well as the direction his partner is in and the general distance between them. In addition, the mortal and the Demon can use the link to communicate telepathically, which also allows them to send images, sound, smell, taste and physical feelings. These can be current experiences, experiences from memory or imaginary experiences. Both the mortal and the Demon are able to tell the difference between their own senses, and senses receives through the mental link.</li><li>The Demon can use the metal link to force a Command on the mortal, which the mortal must obey. Strongwilled mortals are sometimes able to resist this Command ability. The Demon is always considered to have a large advantage. Regular Demons can attempt to Command their partner two times per day. Stronger Demons are able to use this ability more often. The Succubus character would be able to use it four times per day, were she affected by a Demon's Pact.</li><li>The mortal is able to tap into the Demon's energy, allowing him to wield magic. Mortals that wield magic in this way are called Sorcerers or Witches and are distrusted and often executed for their link with Demons. The Sorcerer or Witch uses the Magic Energy and Magic Power of the Demon, but his own knowledge of the schools of magic. The Demon can block the mortal from tapping into the Demon's energy, but this is something the Demon needs to actively focus on. When the Demon stops to focus, the mortal can once again use the Demon's energy.</li><li>The Demon is not allowed to use magic himself while under a Demon's Pact. If the Demon does use magic, the magic is in effect as normal, but the Demon's Pact ends immediately. The Demon's Pact also ends if either the mortal or the Demon is slain. The moment the Demon's Pact ends, the Demon (or his corpse) is instantly sent back to the Abyss and he has lost his access to the world of mortals until some foolish mortal summons him once more.</li></ul><br/><hr/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><em>Languages</em></span></span></div><hr/><br/>The following languages can be available to your character.

The town is governed by a single Lord, which is determined by birthright. The town does not fall under any national jurisdiction.<br/><br/><strong>Defenses</strong>:<br/>The town has two lines of defense. The first is the guard, currently lead by Captain Drackson. They regulate crime within the city and defend it against attackers from outside of the town. The guard has earned the trust of most townsfolk, and many young men volunteer to join their ranks.<br/><br/>The second is the wizard's council. Five strong wizards have watched over the town for centuries, dealing mostly with events and situations that were beyond the control of the city guards. However, the wizards are growing old and some of them have already passed away. Nazhun, one of the remaining witches, has recruited apprentices to fill their ranks, but considering it takes half a century to educate someone properly in the skills of magic, they are considered of no help for the near future.<br/><br/><strong>Inns</strong>:<br/>While the city used to sport several inns in various qualities, most were forced to close their doors due to recent events, and the lack of travellers this caused. Today, only the Rain's Shelter, run by Samuel Hawkeye and his daughter Alice is still operational.<br/><br/><strong>Recent events</strong>:<br/>Nobody knows what caused the outbreak, but several months ago, a plague swept the town. Within two weeks, half the population had perished from the illness, and a decent amount of people also catched the diseases and are still struggling for their lives.<br/><br/>Among the deceased is Lord Beremin Hammond, previous Major to the town. When the plague had touched him, everyone assumed his younger, and equal as popular, brother Thotin would follow his footsteps. Unfortunately, a few days before Beremin passed away, Thotin got caught into an incident. The details about the incident are still unclear, but Thotin was found dead at the city's outskirts, and apparently died to numerous wounds that scarred his body. With both brothers now dead, their reclusive cousin Daragan is now in charge of the town.<br/><br/>Last but not least, some people, presumed dead before, were seen moving over the streets at night, hiding in the shadows, their hair and skin unnaturally white.<br/><br/><hr/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><em>Around Lakeshire</em></span></span></div><hr/><br/>Lakeshire, as it name suggests, lies at the coast of a lake, which in turn lies at the base of a large group of mountains. Several rivers run down from the mountains into the lake. The lower parts of the mountains are beset by trees, which spread to the west into a big forest.<br/><br/><strong>South</strong>:<br/>The rolling landscape south of Lakeshire is mostly open, save for the large river that runs south from the lake, twisting it's path between the gentle sloped hills, making it the perfect place for farmers to work the land, or breed cattle. It's Lakeshire's major source of food. Most farms are quite widespread, having to rely on themselves against bandits, as the area's too large for the city guards to patrol.<br/><br/>In recent days, the barbarians, that were expected to live far to the south, have made more and more appearances, causing a great deal of concern for both the farmers and the city council.<br/><br/>Since a couple of days ago, some of the farmers return home with stories of huge, clawed footprints throughout their fields and half their crop scorched.<br/><br/><strong>West</strong>:<br/>The forest to the west, that reaches a little onto the slope of the mountain chain to the north, provides ample of game, herbs and fruits to collect. While it is not Lakeshire's main source of food, the meat and vegetables that hunters return home with them has been welcomed throughout town. Those that stray deeper into the forest are bound to run into other humanoids, elves if one is lucky, goblins or orcs otherwise. Guarded caravans occasionally set out into the forest to trade with other races, preferably the elves.<br/><br/>Elves and fae usually keep themselves concealed for travellers from other races, but the orcs and goblins are growing more populous. More and more sightings of these greenskin creatures has been reported to the city guard. The guards decided to send out patrols to watch over the wooded areas close to the city, alert for any large greenskin movement. However, since the plague has left the city guard undermanned, these patrols have been recalled.<br/><br/>Some of the hunters that went into the forest since the plague hit did not return, and the other hunters blamed it on creatures they saw and had fled from, half human, half animal.<br/><br/><strong>North</strong>:<br/>A large chain of mountains spreads out both ways directly north of town. The lowest, more gentle slopes of the mountain are still covered by trees and undergrowth, but they quickly reach above that to more barren rock, and further ahead, snowy peaks rise into the sky. Dwarven outposts scatter the mountainslopes, usually next to tunnel entrances leading into the mountains. The less pleasant to meet Kobolds and troglodytes also roam the slopes and surface tunnels.<br/><br/>Lakeshire had two large mines established up the slopes of the nearest two mountains, well organized with miners, guards and overseers, but the recent events has cut these activities short.<br/><br/>During the last week, more than one person had heard the sound of swooping wings at night and looked up to the sky to see a winged silhouette in the direction of the northern mountains.<br/><br/><strong>East</strong>:<br/>The lake to the east provides a natural buffer against enemy forces. Several siege crossbows are scattered among the docks, were someone to attack the city by boats, but these have never been required. The water is abundant with fish, and fisherboats are often floating on the water, providing the third source of Lakeshire's food supplies.<br/><br/>The recent events have had less effect on the men that made a living catching fish. No bad creatures were known for roaming the water surface. However, rumour goes among the fishermen about something odd occasionally revealing a small part of itself above the waterline. With no actual incidents or casualties, the guard has been ignoring these sightings for now in favor of more pressing matters.<br/><br/><hr/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><em>Other areas of civilization</em></span></span></div><hr/><br/>Two other settlement are situated along the coast of the lake, the nearest one, Cloudville, being a week on foot away. The other one, Mountainshire, is located at the base of the mountainchain at the other side of the lake. A couple of small trade ships sail forth and back between the three settlements. Another city, Pinetown, lies several days on foot to the southwest, on the outskirts of the forest. The barbarians that live to the south make relations with towns further south a risky business at least.<br/><br/>The elves have settlements of their own deep in the forests to the west, but obscured from sight as these are, one rarely stumbles across these settlements. Visitors not welcomed do not get a chance to leave them again.<br/><br/>The dwarves to the north welcome traders at their outposts, but are less eager to invite people from other races into the tunnels that lead to their own homes. Still, humans that have earned their respect are granted passage.<br/><br/>Wielders of great magic are capable of relocating themselves to any place on the world of mortals, but this access is reserved for only the most powerful conjurers."

Usually dressed in black robes and a black hat, Nezhun uses alteration magic to keep his gray hair and beard flowing.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: With the Council falling apart, Nezhun knew something needed to be done to safeguard the future of Lakeshire. He decided to discuss the matter with Lord Beremin Hammond, Major of the town, and Drackson, Captain of the guard, and informed them of his plans to take half a dozen apprentices in the arts of Wizardry. The others agreed, but Drackson suggested that if Nazhun could find enough female volunteers, he should stick to that. He preferred that any young man who wished to aid the town in one way or another would be able to make himself useful as a member of the guard.<br/><br/><hr/><div class=""floatright"">(http://age-of-chivalry.com/smf/avatars/aoc_avatars/Swordsman.jpg)</div><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Drackson, Captain of the Guard</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Guardsman<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 9<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 8<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 7<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 33<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 11""<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 185lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Muscular<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Terran, Greenskin<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Drackson is pretty much always seen in his armor, sword and shield on his sides, if not in his hands.

It didn't came as much of a surprise when the former captain died, Drackson, who had worked himself up to the rank of officer by then, was appointed as his successor. Drackson had been worried about the increase in numbers of barbarians, greenskins and reptiles long before the plague hit, but especially now that he was undermanned he had his head in total worries as he had no clue how to save his beloved town.<br/><br/>Growing desperate, Drackson paid good gold to adventurers and mercenaries that were passing through, making it worth their stay if they had the courage to stand their ground. But even that wasn't enough.

However, one morning, Thotin's body was found on the outskirts of the street, heavily mutilated, it was assumed the orcs or the barbarians got him and slaughtered him. When Beremin died two days later, no siblings remained alive, so their cousin Daragan was the next in kin, and quickly chosen as the next major.<br/><br/>Some people say Daragan is one of the worst majors they had, with only ill befalling them since he was in control of the town. Of course, he had the misfortune of gaining power when things went downhill.<br/><br/><hr/><div class=""floatright"">(http://img2.gelbooru.com//images/714/fbc239b18413121619e92ce30aeab65afb7d8298.png?856259)</div><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Samuel Hawkeye, Innkeeper</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human, Elven heritage.<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Innkeeper<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 8<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 10<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 5<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 45<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 5""<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 137lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Small<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Sylvan, Terran, Greenskin, Draconic.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Samuel is the grandson of an elf, and visibly so. He's shorter than the average human, his face is sleeker, and with his long blond hair kept together in a ponytail, the small points on the top of his ears is quite prominent. There is no reflection of his heritage in the clothes he's wearing, usually consisting of a thick leather outfit, a reminiscent of his days as an adventurer. Samuel always appears cheerful, even during this dark period. His daughter Alice is his only real worry, and the plague seems to have affected neither of them.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Samuel used to be an adventurer. Due to his keen senses, Samuel managed to avoid many a peril during those days that would have outright killed him, would it have gone unnoticed. Near the end of that dangerous career, Samuel travelled in a group together with one lady that had stolen his heart, Diane Blueflower. The couple was close, and eventually Diane birthed him a daughter which they named Alice. As they decided to settle down and travelled to Lakeshire, the caravan they accompanied got ambushed by barbarians. While they managed to fight the barbarians off, Diane was slain in the process.<br/><br/>While regretting the loss of his beloved, Samuel continued his travel to Lakeshire, and used the treasures he gathered over the years to establish a small inn, called the Rain's Shelter, as he tried to raise Alice as best as he could. Lately, with the plague hitting the town and the monsters all around, the inn is nearly empty, and only the reserves of Samuel's treasure is what keeps things still going. The reserves won't last for more than a year or two, before Samuel will run into bigger problems.<br/><br/><hr/><div class=""floatright"">(http://maskworld.scene7.com/is/image/maskworld/300260-heidi-kostuem-costume)</div><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Alice Hawkeye, Innkeeper's daughter</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human, Elven heritage.<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Innkeeper<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 9<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 3<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 3<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 21<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 2""<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 131lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Well-proportioned<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Sylvan.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Alice has just enough elven blood in her veins to come across as slightly exotic, her eyes sharper than the common human, slight points at the top of her ears and slender fingers, without preventing her body from being curved in all the right places. She often sports a wide smile on her face, and her curly blond hair reaches just past her shoulders. Her style of dress, somewhat disliked by her father, but not forbidden, shows quite a bit of cleavage, and emphasizes her round bum.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Alice is the daughter of Samuel and Diane. Her mother died when she was still a baby, and Alice has no mental recollection of her. She doesn't know better than living with her father in the Rain's Shelter, one of Lakeshire's inns, and the only one still remaining since the plague hit the town.

And while some might shy away from such a fair skin, Erin practically revels in it, with her clothes a normally contrasting black, matching her dark, bob-styled, hair. She can often be found wearing an intricate, form-fitting, black dress, with long, similarly coloured gloves and shoes. Those who wander close enough can also normally see the deep brown of her eyes while likely to catch the faint smell of baked apples which fills the air around her. She tends to wear little make-up, with her lips already a healthy red and almost always formed into an amused pout.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>:<br/>As one of the older and more affluent houses of Lakeshire, the Blackwood merchant family had always strived to do its part for the city of its birth. And while this had normally revolved around actions in the vein of handsome donations to the city or simple matters of courtesy, such as attending public events, the dire times asked for more from the Blackwood family. So when Nazhun had made his call for apprentices it should of come as no surprise that the house offered up one of its daughters, with their official stance being that of a family sacrificing of itself for the good of the city. Unofficially however, any noble or merchant worth his salt knew it was only a grab for prominence by the Blackwood family.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual</strong>:<br/>It was Erin's sexual exploits which initially had her being chosen as the daughter that would be handed to Nazhrun, with the family growing tired of her embarrassing romps with staff and stranger alike. In the end it was the discovery of her with another woman which acted as the straw that broke the camel's back. Officially, the Blackwood family insists that Erin's still a virgin.<br/><br/><strong>Gear</strong>:<br/>1x Small Dagger<br/>1x Small Mirror<br/>1x Small Wine Skin, with strap, of Imported Wine<br/>1x Pouch of Gold"

His face is mostly shrouded by the mask from his attire and other portions are hidden by his own long, ebony tresses of hair.

The title itself may not be of much grandeur, though Naburus’s duties don’t linger upon a simple guide into the bowls of hell, but also a protector and guardian to oversee that damned souls remain entombed and to prevent any outside forces from attempting to barge their way through those very gates.

She prefers brighter colours as she is an enthusiastic person. Shades of red are her favourite. She prefers tight fit clothes as she enjoys engaging in physical activities and it makes it easier to move freely. Usually she wears and exotic red top and black shorts with a wrapped sash around her waist, tied into a bow at the back where the ends drop down to her knees. She wears laced gloves that end at her wrists and keep her fingers free, and has several bits of jewellry (http://www.jewellery24hr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/How-To-Makeup-Hair-Jewellery.jpg) braided into her hair. Her complexion is probably average, although due to the fact that she spends a lot of her time outdoors she also has a healthy tan. She has one tattoo at the back of her neck going into the bottom of her hairline of a Helix.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>:Elena’s family was part of the lower class. Her parents were the happy owner’s of Lakeshire’s most comfortable Inn. They were kind, giving people, which certainly maintained their loyal reputation, but kept their earning to a minimum. Not that any of them had reason to complain, they led happy, fulfilled lives and raised Elena as a friendly generous personality. Every Sunday, Elena went to town with her father to the market to buy the Inn’s supply of fresh vegetables, meats and general ingredients for the following week. In the evenings, her mother told her stories about the history of the town and during the weekdays, the company of Elena’s friends gave her the slightly adventurous and rebellious edge that would help her excel.<br/>As her parents were always busy trying to keep food on the table, Elena’s best friend Tobias played a major influence on her. They rowed all the time for fun, and so usually came home covered in dirt. When she was sixteen, she had her first sexual encounter with Tobias, after which their friendship would stand to suffer. Soon after they broke up, Elena’s mother fell sick and the Inn’s income suffered from her absence. Despaired, Elena went out and sought a way in which she could help her parents after watching her mother grow weaker by the day.<br/>Since Tobias and her no longer spoke, the only place she could think of to seek for advice was from Nahzun, who recognized her hopelessness and offered to take her under his wing as an apprentice. Elena accepted, focusing only on her training, and sent her parents rations of food once weekly. A year and a half into her training, a plague hit the town, just when her mother’s recovery was certain. It wasn’t long before her mother passed, and with the turmoil that the loss of lives and chaos the plague had placed the town in, soon the Inn was overrun by a hoard of thieves who stole everything her father had left and killed him as he tried to defend it. From that point on, everything that was left in Elena’s life was her training.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Sexual</strong>: Elena has always been the adventurous type, she had one boyfriend when she was sixteen who she used as her learning tool.

Violet's horns are dark brown, similar to a small tree branch or a young deer's antlers in shape, and deceptively tough when compared to their delicate appearance. Her eyes and ears also belay her non-human lineage, ears coming to points and irises a bright, vivid green unseen among the human population. Her hair is a deep, rich black that falls to mid-back in soft waves though it's often tied back in a loose ponytail.<br/>Her figure is trim, with sleek, lean muscles from hours spent trekking through the woods each day. Thanks to her nymph blood she also has large, perky breasts, a well-formed rear and lovely face. She has slightly pale skin and flawless complexion, though a few small scars have accumulated over the years due to her dangerous lifestyle.<br/>Violet wears no cosmetics, and has no particular interest in fashion. She usually wears light, simple clothing in shades of green and brown either kept tight to the body or cut so it flows away easily to allow for the maximum range of movement. A number of straps and belts adorn her body at almost all times, holding the equipment she uses in the forest and various herbs and things she collects to sell in the city. The only real jewelery she wears is a small whistle held on a leather cord around her neck.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: The Hawthorn family had been looked upon with suspicion long before witchcraft came into the mix; for generations they had lived in the Eastern forests, solitary and mysterious, coming into the city only to trade the game and rare herbs regular folk dared not venture into the woods to collect. Hunter Hawthorn IV (creativity was never a high priority for the family) had skill beyond that of any of his ancestors. He could pin a sparrow to a tree from hundreds of yards away with his bow, and move in the shadows as if he was nothing but mist. Over time, the solitary young man caught the eye of a dryad that resided in a tree he often passed under on his hunts. She came to him in the night many times over the following seasons, slipping into his well-hidden home as if the camouflage, traps and alarms weren't even there. Her visits stopped as suddenly as they had started, and it wasn't a year later that Hunter learned why, when he awoke one morning to find a small child asleep in an odd basket of living vines just inside the entrance to his home. Her mother had been thrilled when she first learned she was pregnant. It was rare for nymphs to bear children, most of their kind born when excessive magic pooled around some natural thing like a stream or tree or pond. When the child was born though, her human blood ran stronger than the dryad had expected. She was smaller and more vulnerable than a newly created nymph would have been, and she was growing far too quickly. The dryad struggled to care for the baby for a few months before becoming completely overwhelmed. She returned to Hunter one last time, leaving the child and it's fate in his hands.<br/><br/>Hunter was reluctant to take in the child, but having never married he realized she was the only chance he had to pass on the family name and legacy. He named the girl Violet after the flowers her mother had always worn in her hair, and as she grew he taught the skills passed down in their family generation after generation. She was naturally skilled, the grace and speed her fae blood granted her greatly aiding in archery and stealth. She was quiet and serious, like all members of her family had been, and disliked the weekly trips into Lakeshire. People pointed and whispered when she walked by, making signs to ward against evil. Her ears were easily covered if she wore her hair the right way, but her unnaturally bright green eyes and the small, antler-like horns that sprouted from her forehead were impossible to hide.<br/><br/>When she was 15, Violet's father was slain, a simple case of bad luck as he ran into a wandering orc while trying to evade a perusing band of goblins. After bringing Hunter's body to the church in town, the girl vanished for several weeks. Rumors flew, many whispering that the girl must have returned to her wicked kin, other, more charitable voices suggesting she might have been killed in an ill-conceived attempt at revenge. There was a certain amount of disappointment when, two months later, the odd girl began her weekly appearances once more as if nothing was amiss.<br/><br/>Not long after her return, Violet approached Nazhun seeking training. Despite the local population's disdain for her and her own mildly misanthropic tendencies she showed patience and dedication to her studies, as well as considerable natural skill.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual</strong>: As would be expected from someone with such strong solitary tendencies, Violet has had no real romantic relationships and retains her virginity. She has no particular prejudice against people exercising their sexuality as much or as little as they like, but personally seems content with nothing more than her own fingers.<br/><br/><strong>Gear</strong>:<br/>Composite shortbow, quiver and arrows(15)<br/>2 hunting knives, kept in sheathes strapped to her thigh<br/>One belt with several pouches and glass vials for carrying herbs and such gathered in the woods<br/>One belt with a couple large pouches containing her personal supplies<br/>-Flint and tinder<br/>-A small, collapsible spyglass<br/>-A few days worth of trail rations<br/>-Several sticks of charcoal for making trail marks<br/>-An old, much-folded parchment with a hand-drawn map of the forest<br/>-Small assortment of random lengths of twine and leather cord<br/>-About 20 feet of help rope, tied at the side of the belt<br/>A small whistle on a leather cord around her neck"

Smooth curves in an hourglass shape, perfectly wide hips with a wasp waist, and perky alabaster globes of just the right size, just slightly bigger than ones grasping hand.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Rayne's natural form is that of the perfect lover. As if she was made solely for the acts of passion, her body is unnaturally perfect and attractive to nearly everybody. Long, shapely legs lead to wide hips, with an ass that just screams to be slapped. A thin waist that appears as if it was already in a corset leads up to her rack, perfectly round and perky despite their size. Soft and firm at the same time, and just slightly larger than the hands of whomever is trying to grab them. Her face is tender, yet angular, as if an artist had chiseled her from alabaster. Her gaze brings you to beleive that she is the lover you see in your most erotic dreams... And that is where the unnatural part comes in. Her long silky hair is a bright cyan color, and her eyes are the color of the Mediterranian Sea, and glows slightly with an internal power. Her fingertips end in razor sharp claws, and wings sprout from her forehead and back. Whenever she wears clothing while in her natural form, she wears scanty, seductive lingerie, from lacy teddys to leather halter tops and thongs, and usually changes clothes multiple times per day.<br/><br/>She goes out in public in many different forms, some days wearing the appearance of a human noblewoman, sometimes as a elven brothelworker. However, she always appears as spectacularly beautiful.<br/><br/>(You are granted three of the following abilities.)<br/><br/><strong>Phasing</strong>: You can phase in and out at will. When phased out, creatures other than yourself and your Witch partner are unable to see, hear, smell or touch you. You are still able to see, hear and smell, but are no longer able to touch anything. Gravity has no effect on you. You are able to float around and pass through solid matter. You cannot phase in while occupying the same space as solid matter. The mental link with your Witch partner remains active, and she can still tap your energy while you are phased out. Note that phasing out is not an illusionary effect, and therefor abilities that see through illusionary effects cannot sense a phased out creature.<br/><br/><strong>Ravage</strong>: Once per day, you can restore an amount of energy equal to half your normal energy. This cannot exceed your normal amount of energy. To use this ability, you must perform a ritual that takes at least fifteen minutes, and includes ravaging a mortal creature's body to the point of orgasm. The creature does not have to be willing, but must be restrained, even if willing. The creature can be your Witch partner.<br/><br/><strong>Truevision</strong>: You see right through magical illusions. Illusionary effects have no effect on you, though you are aware of the illusion present and know what it looks like. This ability affects all senses, not just sight. Note that Truevision does not see through mundane disguises or notice people in hiding."

Altough the daughter of farmers, she was always a little pampered by her parents and she does not look like she had done a lot of hard work. Quite the opposite, she looks almost fragile. She is a little tougher than she looks, though.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>:<br/><br/>Valeria was the daughter of one of the farmers whose farm was not inside Lakeshire. It was a small property, about half an hour walk, if you used to walk fast, and Valeria did, in a small valley where only her family worked. A lone life, as she had no siblings. It would have been a good place to grow up in, if she had friends. It had a small river crossed it, providing fresh water and a place where she would go to swim in the summer. As it was, she was always running to Lakeshire to meet kids.<br/><br/>It was in one of the first summer days when the barbarians came. Both her parents had gone to town to sell their wares, leaving her to take care of the place. Valeria had escaped from home and her cleaning duty when the sound of the the band. She was not at her place when it was burned down and she was swimming completely naked. Both things were probably responsible for her life being spared, as a naked, beautiful girl coming out of water was no threat. Instead of killing her, they tied and raped her for hours. But not before the shaman of the tribe teased her and touched and made her beg to be fucked. But, of course, that was on thing she would never admit to others.<br/><br/>When her parents arrived, she was still naked, tied to a tree. The crops were destroyed and the house burned, their lives destroyed. And Valeria felt guilty for it, for not resisting the goblins, in any sense. So, as they were forced to move to Lakeshire for protection,  and as beggars, she agreed to work as a wench and something more in one of the shady inns of the town. She was young, gorgeous, with a perfect body, the owner was too happy to provide her a job.<br/><br/>But the second night she was there, the inn was visited by one of the men Nazhun had asked to look for girls. He invited her and she agreed, as long as her parents were taken care of.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual</strong>: Straight. She had done nothing more than blowjobs to two boyfriends before the barbarians. The barbarians used her and she has worked one night as a hooker in the tavern after that. She will never admit to have enjoyed both experiences.<br/><br/><strong>Gear</strong>: Valeria has little more than her clothes. Since the start of her training, she  got a few gifts that might prove helpful, but she still lacks good equipment. She has one dagger, one pair of leather gloves, and one waterskin ."

The Errant Venture's main remaining med bay.  He was watching a medical Droid and one of his hired med techs, a man named Halc Grunion, examine the Twilek 'woman' recently found 'dead' in a powerless Cloakshape fighter near a smuggler's jump point.<br/><br/>Booster had taken the Errant Venture through that little known access point on his way to Eridu, as he was low on fuel and time, and a scan as they arrived had spotted the craft drifting a few thousand meters off his starboard bow.  Booster brought the ship in himself, manned the docking bay tractor beam that was used to bring in the starfighter, and so was the first person to see the lovely Twilek lass in the ship's cockpit.<br/><br/>Rushing to the ship, medkit in hand, but with little hope he would find the poor girl alive, Booster had done a life scan... and stared at his readings.<br/><br/>He'd only seen readings like this once before, on a deactivated HRD that was being smuggled by him back in his days aboard the old Pulsar Skate.  But that was a human... looked like some old senator he had surmised.  This was a Twilek... and he'd never heard of a female Twilek senator.<br/><br/>Curious, and fairly intrested now, Booster lifted the Droid out of the ship, and took her to the med bay.<br/><br/>More as a test of his new med tech than anything else, he asked the man to 'revive' the 'poor lass' and headed to the observation deck to watch the show.<br/><br/>The Droid's passive sensors must have registered something... OX levels, temperature, for the Droid awakened suddenly in the middle of Halc's examination.<br/><br/>As Booster watched, with growing delight, the Droid, calling itself Talia Nightshade, soon had the poor Halc convinced that his earlier readings, (Which Halc had not recognized) had been the result of instrument malfunction... had offered to fix the device, and had proceeded to hack the Med Scanner's data processor into thinking that her readings were a simple deviation from standard Twilek readings, then explained to the man how she had a rare metabolic condition that caused the unusual readings.<br/><br/>He shook his head ruefully as Halc proclaimed her, 'Fit and Healthy, and, yes of course you are free to go!'<br/><br/>Booster met the girl in the Turbolift headed for Blue Level.<br/><br/>""That."" He said after a moments silence, ""Was quite a performance.""<br/><br/>Talia looked up at the Gundark of a human with some confusion.  (Or feigned confusion, Booster suspected)  ""Performance? Oh, have you seen me perform?  I used to be a Dancer for Gardula the Hutt.""<br/><br/>Now it was Booster's turn to look confused.  When he'd been a much younger man, before the Clone Wars even, hadn't there been a Twilek girl... she'd looked JUST like this Droid.<br/><br/>He shook his head, perturbed.  It couldn't be...<br/><br/>""You need to check your dates, dear.  Gardula's been dead for years.  Try another one.""<br/><br/>Talia studied the man carefully then.  He could almost see the plan form in her mind. ""Oh, I was in a ship accident, been in cold sleep for years.  Did you know Gardula?""<br/><br/>He snorted. ""Know the old worm?  I shipped spice for that old slimeball."" He shrugged, and offered one of his huge hands to her.  Booster Terrik.""<br/><br/>She squealed in seemingly quite genuine delight.  ""Booster Terrik?!  You used to give the best tips! You and that funny avian you hung out with... how is old Llollulion these days?""<br/><br/>Booster started.  ""Talia?  By the Stars, girl!  Since when..."" He caught himself but Talia had noted the incredulity in his voice, and guessed the reason.  She sighed.<br/><br/>Since when have I been a Droid you mean? Hmm...  when I woke I had a familiar scent hanging about me... that scent your wearing now.  You brought me in from my ship, Booster?  Maybe ran a med scan?""<br/><br/>He nodded, still half in memories of the old days aboard the Starwayman.<br/><br/>She continued. ""Since always, Booster.  But look, if Gardula's really dead, nobody knows that fact but you, and me.  Couldn't you keep a secret... for old times sake?""<br/><br/>Booster suddenly snorted, his sense of the ridiculous coming to the rescue.  ""Girl, do you know I used have dreams about you, lonely nights on the Starwayman?  When you left Gardula's... well let's just say the girl he got to replace you had nothing on you. Keep your secret?  How'd you like a job?""<br/><br/>Talia studied his face carefully again, judging (correctly) that he was serious. ""A job?  Doing what?""<br/><br/>He frowned.  ""I'm a business owner now... and I find keeping this old ship."" He waved his hands about him, ""In one piece hard enough without other troubles aboard.  I've got half a dozen Cantina's aboard, and lately I've noticed some odd dealings there.  I think someone's trying to muscle in.  I'd like you to keep an eye out down there for me... tell me what you see.""<br/><br/>Talia was looking at him, ""This must be a pretty big space station then, if you have that many joints open.""<br/><br/>He laughed his big bears laugh and as the turboshaft doors opened on Blue Level, added, ""Girl, you have no idea.""<br/>"

Their numbers are much smaller in this setting. Only four hold the title. One Purple Dragon Knight is said to be the equivalent of 100 soldiers. They are the crown's personal guard.<br/><br/><em>Shadow Knight:</em>Every organization needs its stealthy, calculating agents to move things into place. Shadow Knights fill that role. Behind every Purple Dragon is a Shadow. Those who know the truth understand that the story of a Purple Dragon's strength is the combined efforts of a Dragon and its Shadow.<br/><br/>War. The Gods' creations seemed so skilled at instigating war, all for the sake of proving their worth. Even with the gift of free will, rather than sort their differences peacefully the races of man would rather destroy eachother over resources, territory or divine favor. Confused, dismayed and fearing the destruction of their world, the Gods, both good and evil, petitioned Kaitlea for help.<br/><br/>With her ego properly stroked, Kaitlea descended upon the realm of mortals and with her, she brought her children. Tall as titans and garbed in finest silks, these extremely endowed women blessed with divine bounty healed the land that had been ravaged by the tides of war. They used their bodies to restore the people and used their hearts to teach them compassion. They passed their gift to the women of the mortal realm and in doing so left Kaitlea's mark upon the Gods' creations for all eternity.<br/><br/>Though not as prominent, an uncommon proportion of mortal women exhibited the 'Gift of Kaitlea' and for a time carried strong power. Once the realm had stabilized, Kaitlea left with her daughters, and the mortal's blessed by Kaitlea faded in power. No longer could the gifted heal or manipulate the laws of physics without extensive training. A tenuous peace spread through the world, maintained by heros, legends and threatened by villains.<br/><br/>After an extremely bloody dip in the world's militant population, Cormyr has sent out a call to all willing and able bodied to partake and become knights under the Purple Dragon. The test is blind to race, sex and class; the score is all that matters. With the threat of war boiling over again, the kingdom cannot afford to be - too - stingy. Several such have answered the call. Will this squad be what the kingdom needs to maintain its shaky relations?<br/><br/>--------------------------------------<br/><br/>This is essentially the pre-game/recruitment thread, though only one more is needed. If more respond I will create a second group.<br/><br/>I would like for those participating to get with eachother and myself to possibly corroborate back stories as I will be using them to spice up the flavor of the game as we progress through. I will also prepare a sort of questionnaire (roleplay related) and confer bonuses to individuals based on the results. These questionnaires will have no wrong answers.<br/><br/><br/>P.S. I really hate writting these intros. I'm not good at blatantly hinting at plot hooks without totally blowing the story out of the water.<br/><br/>I've placed the thread under Exotic NC rather than extreme because excessive gore and watersports squick me."

Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork quality. Weapons acquired at 1st level are not made of any special material. If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be wielded. If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell's level. If the object is a ring or amulet, it occupies the ring or neck slot accordingly.<br/>A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell cast by the wizard, including casting time, duration, and other effects dependent on the wizard's level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard's opposition schools (see arcane school).<br/>A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat. For example, a wizard with a bonded dagger must be at least 5th level to add magic abilities to the dagger (see the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat in Feats). If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand. The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type.<br/>If a bonded object is damaged, it is restored to full hit points the next time the wizard prepares his spells. If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item. A wizard can designate an existing magic item as his bonded item. This functions in the same way as replacing a lost or destroyed item except that the new magic item retains its abilities while gaining the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a bonded item.<br/>Transmutation School<br/>Transmuters use magic to change the world around them.<br/>Physical Enhancement (Su): You gain a +1 enhancement bonus to one physical ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution). This bonus increases by +1 for every five wizard levels you possess to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. You can change this bonus to a new ability score when you prepare spells. At 20th level, this bonus applies to two physical ability scores of your choice.<br/>Telekinetic Fist (Sp): As a standard action you can strike with a telekinetic fist, targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The telekinetic fist deals 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage + 1 for every two wizard levels you possess. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.<br/>Change Shape (Sp): At 8th level, you can change your shape for a number of rounds per day equal to your wizard level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. This ability otherwise functions like beast shape II or elemental body I. At 12th level, this ability functions like beast shape III or elemental body II.<br/><br/>Sorcerer/wizard Spells<br/>0-Level Sorcerer/Wizard Spells (Cantrips)<br/>Abjuration<br/>Resistance: Subject gains +1 on saving throws.<br/>Conjuration<br/>Acid Splash: Orb deals 1d3 acid damage.<br/>Divination<br/>Detect Magic: Detects all spells and magic items within 60 ft.<br/>Detect Poison: Detects poison in one creature or small object.<br/>Read Magic: Read scrolls and spellbooks.<br/>Enchantment<br/>Daze: A single humanoid creature with 4 HD or less loses its next action.<br/>Transmutation<br/>Mage Hand: 5-pound telekinesis.<br/>Mending: Makes minor repairs on an object.<br/>Message: Whisper conversation at distance.<br/>Open/Close: Opens or closes small or light things.<br/>Universal<br/>Arcane Mark: Inscribes a personal rune on an object or creature (visible or invisible).<br/>Prestidigitation: Performs minor tricks.<br/><br/>1st-Level Sorcerer/Wizard Spells<br/>Abjuration<br/>Endure Elements: Exist comfortably in hot or cold regions.<br/>Conjuration<br/>Grease: Makes 10-ft. square or one object slippery.<br/>Mage Armor: Gives subject +4 armor bonus.<br/>Unseen Servant: Invisible force obeys your commands.<br/>Enchantment<br/>Charm Person: Makes one person your friend.<br/>Illusion<br/>Color Spray: Knocks unconscious, blinds, and/or stuns weak creature.<br/>Transmutation<br/>Animate Rope: Makes a rope move at your command.<br/>Jump: Subject gets bonus on Acrobatics check<br/><br/><br/>Half-Elf Racial Traits<br/>+2 to One Ability Score: Half-elf characters get a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature.<br/>Medium: Half-elves are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.<br/>Normal Speed: Half-elves have a base speed of 30 feet.<br/>Low-Light Vision: Half-elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.

As such, when this Hex is used as a touch attack, the Witch must also make a reflex save (DC is halved) or be caught as well.<br/><br/>The witch may draw a Hex upon 1 10'x10' square per target she may ensnare (see below) but they must all be activated at the same time.<br/><br/>Lv.<br/>1-3=1 target, 6 tentacles<br/>4-6=2 targets, 10 tentacles<br/>7-9=3 targets, 14 tentacles<br/>9-12=4 targets 16 tentacles<br/>13+=5 targets, 20 tentacles<br/><br/>The second stage of this Hex lasts the duration of the entanglement. The Witch may telepathically issue commands to tentacles (limited to the number of targets she may ensnare), use them to force disrobing (time equivent to the equipment's don hastily time. Armor removed in this matter must have straps repaired before it can be worn again.) and use them to rape disrobed victims who've yet to free themselves. Issuing a command is a standard action, but the Witch may issue a continuous command and switch to another tentacle(s). At 15th level and beyond, the witch may command as many tentacles as she wants as a free action.<br/><br/>Victims take 1d3+the Witch's INT modifier subdual damage per tentacle per round, be it of the invasive or sucking variety. Atleast three tentacles must be used to properly restrain the target, but using four increases the strength DC to escape the entanglement by 5. The Witch may divide as many tentacles as she may summon amongst any number of targets she can ensnare. (Using the max level as an example, 20 tentacles on 1 target, 10 on two, 15 on one and 5 on the second.)<br/><br/><br/>Patron: Pleasure - 2nd Mantle of Love, 4th Orgasmic Vibrations, 6th Pheremones, 8th Kiss of Life, 10th Hedonist's Delight,  12th Orgasmic Vibrations, Mass, 14th Healing Sphere,  16th Succor, 18th Peace Aura<br/><br/>Equipment<br/>Backpack 2 GP<br/>Blanket 2sp<br/>Bedroll 1sp<br/>Waterskin x 3 3 gp<br/>Alchemist Kit 25 Gp<br/>Courtier's Outfit 30 GP<br/>Simple Bodice 1 sp<br/><br/>Notes<br/>Main outfit is:<br/>Bandeau furred top offering a view of her breasts and cleavage, bared abdomen and a pleated skirt that is little more than a belt with strips of leather attached to it.<br/><br/>Special Abilities<br/>Elf<br/>Low-Light Vision<br/>Dreamspeaker: A few elves have the ability to tap into the power of sleep, dreams, and prescient reverie.

Find your breast weight before growth. If you need help determining this, PM me with a size.<br/>2. Find the percentage of growth vs. pre-existing size. 1 lb of existing vs. 5 lbs of growth would be 500%, 5 vs 5 would be 100%, 10 vs 5 would be 50%.<br/>3. Take the percentage and divide by 100. 5, 1 and .5 as seen above.<br/>4. Multiply by 2.<br/>5. This result is how many inches you add to your size.

All the cubes together have 42 faces showing. If you subtract 9 of the faces (to account for where the breast is attatched to the body) you have 33 faces.  If you complete the cube you may have more than doubled the mass, but the surface area only increases to 45 faces (54 total).<br/><br/>That example is a little abstract considering we're dealing with curves instead of hard edges.

Brie's personal maid told her parents of these occurrences, and that the girl had even been making accurate predictions about events shortly before they happened. The country they lived in frowned gravely on sorcery; in order to avoid the persecution of their daughter, and to maintain their own reputation, the parents decided to send her away with a band of gypsies known to possess strange powers, and to train them in others.<br/><br/>Here, the young girl's life changed completely; the 'gypsies' were in fact Elans, psionically gifted and modified humans, and they took special interest in her, both because of her noble heritage and her budding psionic powers. She was subject to a daily regimen designed to condition her both physically and mentally, and trained in the use of a wide range of weaponry. By her seventeenth birthday she undertook the enigmatic ritual to become an Elan herself, and has since parted with the people she came to see as her new family, traveling alone for the most part and offering her services as a sword for hire.<br/><br/>Attributes/Appearance: Brie is very tall, particularly for a girl, with a swarthy complexion and a lean, muscular physique. Her form is curvaceous and lithe, despite her toned musculature, and she bears a very full and round bosom. Her young, girlish face sports a pair of large, teal eyes, which glow when she is emotional, concentrating deeply, or using psionics. Her wavy, blue-violet hair is very long, a little past her buttocks, and she often restrains it by tying it with a ribbon. Despite being well trained in its use, Brie chooses not to wear armor, instead relying on her psionic powers for protection. Her manner of dress is eccentric, to say the least; something she picked up from her time among the reclusive Elans, and she wears very little when she can afford to, seemingly oblivious to the lustful gazes that follow her ever more because of it. Her current outfit includes a skintight black leotard, a large, rose-pink ribbon tied into a bow around her torso, just beneath her bosom, and thigh length white leggings. She also typically wears a leather sword belt with her sabre and a long parrying blade at her waist, knee length traveling boots, a long, pale mauve scarf, and soft leather gloves. In her backpack she keeps a long cloak for cool weather or rain.<br/>(http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/616bf8b9848f11933fff25f9abd9f463.jpg)<br/>Personality traits: Brie is generally stoic, and can seem coldly logical and unemotional to those who know her well; it's possible that she lost some of her humanity upon becoming an Elan. Despite this though, many people find her quite charming, largely due to her exotic beauty and eccentric mannerisms.

A thousand years ago group of wood elves had enough of a small conclave of witches imposing their presence in the woods they so highly valued and resolved one moonlit night to see them purged from the world. It seemed the method of them doing so blatantly backfired for as the wood elves entered the witches abode they saw all of them forming a ring while chanting. Believing that such a time their defenses were down was the best time to strike, the wood elf archers shot all with arrows, sending the witches to their deaths. However the witches did see the situation coming and expected it to happen as their last ritual was intended to use their passing life energy to feed a powerful curse on the wood elf murders. Since that time horses had always served the elves so well turned on their masters.<br/><br/>Merely smelling the scent of a cursed male wood elf would sent any horses into a frenzied attempt to run them to exhaustion then trample them into the ground, but the true curse concerned the fate of the female elfs.<br/><br/>As males felt the unexpected onslaught, male horses beyond all character typical of their kin unceasingly attempted to rape the elven women. Thanks to the quick reflexes most survived and took to the trees for safety, but the village's culture was ruined. Cursed and outcast the fleeing elves were not accepted by other villages in fear the curse could extend to them.. and all dispersed to lead solitary lives, their love of horses now fear.<br/><br/>One however survived and stayed but it wasn't by chance. Arania mother, Oracle and then high priestess for their community, the very same one who instigated the witch hunt, had a fate none could have foreseen. Where other female elves of the village escaped to the tress. Magical Vines had secured her in a state perfect for the male horses to have their way with her while her body was cursed to be able to manage it without injury.<br/><br/>unknown to her initially the act did create pregnancy, but even still the horses continued. Each unnatural time her body returned into a state of virginity mere moments after a male horse had their way with her.  Although her hymen regrew seemingly to be broken again,  it was without pain. Only known to the gods at te time such a thing was necessary as fluids directed so regularly were necessary for the unnatural pregnancy to continue as without the magical hymen regrowing such vital fluids would not be retained.<br/><br/>The true curse was that of humiliation as as the witches envisaged, human scouts from a neighboring villages came for the trade of elvish goods only to witness the scene and believing it to be the will of the gods thought to not stop it but set up camp and send word for others to witness also such that their stories would not be put down to madness.<br/><br/>Frustratingly for the high-priestess, times she wasn't too exhausted to speak was in elvish such that the humans couldn't understand. A moon past to be replaced by another before the male horses left her presence and the vines unraveled from her wrists. Soon afterward saw Arania born in the company of the very humans who had watched the unnatural pregnancy. Arania, a creature in the shape of a centaur but with female elf bodyform, but with rear legs sporting a male horses privates.  Her mother's couldn't bare the humiliation of her daughter's body being a reminder of her shame and Arania was soon deserted to be left in human care.<br/><br/>Arania was trusted by some but not all in the village but her talent the bow made her accepted enough a mentor appeared. Adopted by by the village herbalist, her mentor soon learned Arania's ejaculate not only had properties which restored any womens privates to a state of virginity perfectly. But when used as a skin salve it seemed to remove effects of aging.

Reading, Writing, and Mathmatics were still taught, just with more yelling, cursing, drinking, and fucking involved.<br/>Eventually Vincent had enough and decided to seek power and come to terms with his magics on his own.<br/>It didn't go well, the blood ritual needed to manifest his bloodline caught the attention of the local temple and as usual adventurers were hired to remove the necromancer from the graveyard before bad stuff started happening.<br/>Vincent was interupted mid way, and it was a good thing too. As it happened Vincent was turning into a purple unicorn due to his bloodline, not exactly the ideal situation. instead he wound up with a horse's head, purple flesh, and a purple zebra pattern.<br/>Vincent was pummeled, and dragged to the local prison where he spent a two years behind bars for ""Commuing with the dead without a permit"" and ""practice of minor illegal magics."" he never actually raised any undead and other than illusion spells and a well swung mace, didn't even harm the adventurers much.<br/>In the Ulferth dungeon most people are locked up by being simply thrown seven to a cell togeather and locked in. Magical prisoners are seperated one to a cell.<br/>Vincent came out of that prison at 21 having seen the depravity of his fellow convicts from afar, and seeing the dark arts fail him and every other caster in the dungeon, Vincent turned over a new leaf upon his release.<br/>or at least half-turned.<br/>His apperance, coupled with his hstory as an Ex-Nercomancer, and still a Sorcerer, did nothing for getting him hired into a legal job. since then he's taken to exploration and adventuring to fill his pocket, belly and bed."

Also you wrote the damage wrong it's 1 touch/per level each touch does 1d6 and 1 str damage. The damage of the attack doesn't increase you get more attacks with each level. And with only 5 1st lvl spells the max str damage you could do is 15 and that's if they fail all the fort saves. You should have gone with a more universal attack spell like magic missile.

And by doing con damage every time you drop their modifier they loose their number of HD in hp so it scales as you go up in levels. Though I can stress how important Magic missile is.

The city is quite large and has several urban variations as most city's do. To the north is mostly grasslands for several miles that eventually turn into a desert. To the east is the large forest where Titans Tower East is located. The South has the beaches and the Gulf. To the west is the large Cliff's that the ocean beat's against along with Titans Tower West.<br/><br/>Titans Tower East:<br/>There are several training sessions and even a week dedicated to Wilderness training so all members of E-Titans (or East Titans) should have at least level 3 Wilderness Survival and Tracking specified to the forest.<br/><br/>Titans Tower West:<br/>The Cliff's make for a good training ground as well making the W-Titans (or West Titans) skilled with climbing and Wilderness Survival and Tracking in the cliff/mountain areas at least level 3.<br/><br/>Police Training:<br/>All characters should have some general knowledge in police related items such as Police Sciences and Social Sciences as well as Law.

I actually have two ideas I'm working on, was going to make the Storyteller choose which one.<br/><br/>But I can give a short summary what I'm working on. Both are male, both are eighteen.<br/><br/>One is a brick character who actually goes by the call-sign Brick. He's dense as one, but has his big heart in the right place. And for those who don't know what bricks are in the superhero genre, they are the huge, strong and tough types. (Unfortunately I have no image for him)<br/><br/>The other concept I'm working on is almost the reverse. Purely physically he's really not that impressive. Basic human fit. But mentally he's on the level of geniuses that belong in the super hero (or even villain) category. The type that held multiple degrees in multiple fields by the time he hit puberty. And to keep him from getting bored and prevent him from stepping further down the path of a junior villain, he was actually 'convicted' (or sponsored by a superhero, or both) to become a member of the Teen Titans and decided he liked the job quite a bit. Of course he wouldn't tell anyone that, and still is the 'bad boy'.<br/><br/>"

We'll be handling the parts of the school faculty, and he'll be handling Oona herself when she makes her appearance in the grand finale. The goal: Your character wants to be the year's valedictorian, and thus be chosen by Oona as the newest addition to her pantheon of succubine goddeses.<br/><br/>There will be a total of six classes: Four core classes, and two electives.<br/><br/>The Core Classes are as follows:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li type=""disc"">Introduction to Seduction</li><li type=""disc"">Tickling, Teasing, and Foreplay</li><li type=""disc"">Penetration Techniques</li><li type=""disc"">Charms and Lust Magics</li></ul>.<br/>And the Electives will be chosen from the following ""fetish"" categories (as will be voted on by the players):<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li type=""disc"">Transformative Magics</li><li type=""disc"">Lactation and Breast Expansion</li><li type=""disc"">Microphila and Macrophilia</li><li type=""disc"">Mind Alteration and Other Subtle Domination Techniques</li><li type=""disc"">Bondage and Slavery</li><li type=""disc"">Multiple Partners and Orgies</li></ul>.<br/>Now, mind you, lessons from one class can and will often be used in others as well. We'll play through nine months, each which being represented by a single day of school; the first day will be just that, and everyone should be strangers at that point. On the second day, it should be as though everyone's known each other for one month. Whether the characters get along with their peers/rivals or decide to act hostile toward one another is up to the individual players, just as it should be. The RP will go as follows:<br/><br/>Each month will have the standard six classes and lunch period before anything else; thus, field trip and report cards will occur at the end of the month, after the ""normal"" day has been played out.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>SCORING</strong> (Out of character)<br/><br/>At the end of each day class, Qt and I will each assign a score from 0-10 to a character dependent on two things: 1) writing quality (OoC), and 2) use of the individual class' theme. This means that each class will be given 2 scores each day, for a total of 18 scores per class at the end of the game. You will not know the exact scores we gave until the end of the game, but each grading period will allow you to get an estimate:<br/><br/>F means that your average score in that class is less than 2.<br/>D means that your average score in that class is as least 2, but less than 4.<br/>C means that your average score in that class is as least 4, but less than 6.<br/>B means that your average score in that class is as least 6, but less than 8.<br/>A means that your average score in that class is as least 8.<br/><br/>Writing quality is based on quality first, and quantity second. Quality is rather ambiguous, but good grammar, spelling, and style are all important to it. Having good quantity doesn't necessarily mean using more words than everyone else: It means using the right amount of words for the job. Don't ramble on needlessly, there's a point when less is more, and more simply seems like prattling. Also, god-modding will most certainly hurt your score, so don't think that all you have to do to make your character win is act like she's already a sex goddess.<br/><br/>Use of the subject at hand doesn't mean that your character will lose points for using other subjects; however, if your character is constantly masturbating or giving all her attention to one other character in the Orgies class, or if they usually remain roughly human sized in the Micro and Macrophilia class, they're going to receive low marks.<br/><br/>At the end of the ""year"", each class will be averaged together; additionally, the final exam will be an all out free-for-all as a culmination of all that your characters have learned up to that point. Much like a real exam, it'll weigh heavily on the character, and be counted as an entire subject. The final grade for the six classes will be averaged with the final exam to get the player's final score, and the one with the highest score will be declared at the final ceremony.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>"

She does not readily open up to people as she is serious and shy. Most times she is stoic about things, but can show bursts of emotion. Growing up in an ancient family of mystics that resisted the takeover of the mortal realm but was subdued and forced to submit to the will of the goddess, she has strong political views about the long dynasty that has ruled her world. Even when she really cares, she'll try to act like she could care less. Her biggest flaw is that she likes to sleep a lot, so if she's not interested she'll nod off instead of trying to pay attention.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>Yukiko has dark green eyes and long hair that she used on enchantment on to turn blond. Her figure is mildly voluptuous. Her breasts are a bit large for her small frame and her legs are long and curvy. She is a pure blooded mortal mystic. She wears glasses for nearsightedness and prefers them over magics to reshape her optic orbs back to perfection.<br/><br/>(http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o288/Leapyear12/AmagiYukiko.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Back Story:</strong>All regimes have a resistance to their rule. The mortal mystics of the Amagi clan, despite submitting officially to full cooperation with the goddess, have secretly fostered a long and mostly futile struggle to keep mortal blood pure and strong. As a result, the clan is very protective of its female members, hiding many, disguising a few as males at times to keep them from the clutches and uses of the empire. However, Yukiko's was one that was registered with the empire truthfully and she grew up and was raised openly. Her parents taught her to secretly distrust and resent Imperial authority while maintaining the appearance of subservience and kept her close to the family. The decree that all young maidens who were neither wed or betrothed were to apply to the Corellian Academy for Young Women caused a flurry of hurried betrothals in the Amagi clan. Still, if not one young women from the Amagi clan applied would it not look suspicious and uncooperative. The thought of an Amagi women going to that academy was a dishonor, so only those of the clan with imperfect bloodlines were released to apply. Yukiko, however, refused to hide behind a betrothal. She had her own goals and though she didn't wish to go to the academy she did not wish for a husband either.

Is that a fetish?<br/><br/><strong>Have any of your family members been accepted into the academy:</strong><br/><br/>Sadly no, the humble Amagi clan traditionally considers themselves unsuited for such a great honor. They are assured the sending of these applications is a mere formality as they don't want to be considered so full of pride as to think themselves in any way worthy of this prestigious honor.<br/><br/><strong>Have any of your family members ever been accepted as priestesses of Oona:</strong><br/><br/>The daughters of the Amagi clan would never consider themselves worthy of such a great honor.<br/><br/><strong>Have you ever been considered as a candidate to join the priestesses of Oona:</strong><br/><br/>No.<br/><br/><strong>If you could ask Oona for one thing, what would it be:</strong><br/><br/>Too continue her long and prosperous reign over all realms so the Amagi clan may continue to humbly and peaceably serve at her feet.<br/><br/><strong>Vote:</strong><br/><br/>One vote for Bondage and Slavery; Two vote for Transformative Magics"

Rarely able to sit quietly still and alone, she brims with a boundless energy and optimism that many others find grating after a while, and it's only through her open and easy friendliness and quick apologies that she avoids being thrown out a window on occasion. She loves being at the center of attention and all of the time, whether it be during class, in her social life, or during sex, all activities she is inordinately fond of.<br/><br/>She makes friend readily and enthusiastically, and is quick to attempt to make amends whenever things go sour. Her affable demeanour fails to completely hide a somewhat sadistic mean streak. The impulses are a part of her she herself is extremely uncomfortable with, all the more so as it often manifests when her massive sense of entitlement is foiled in some way. In an attempt to at least make the urges productive, she usually attempts to turn her impulses on those who have wronged her and her friends, or on those who ask nicely first, and she does her best to try to keep scores settled, not wanting to know what extremes she might go to if a feud ever got out of control.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong><br/>A little on the short side, Misa is well tanned and remarkably fit, with a slender and athletic build, a gift from near constant physical activity combined with a hyperactive metabolism. Her breasts are likewise on the small side, a fact which she is extremely self-conscious of, and leading to some of those who dislike her to accuse her of having little more than mosquito bites on her chest. She usually ties up dark hair in twintails, claiming they're to help her various suitors catch her when asked why she keeps a somewhat childish hair style. Her eyes are an indeterminate shade of pale, shifting from a stormy grey, to sky blue, to a light dusty lavender depending on the light.<br/><br/>(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/856/696498b99ed0403c0550b37.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Backstory/History:</strong><br/>The only child of parents solidly in the middle class, Misa was well looked after while she was growing up. Bright and inquisitive, she was showered with attention, encouraged to explore the world, and showered with love, given safe haven when it turned out to be scary or hostile, and affection at every turn.<br/><br/>Consequently she grew up confidant, curious, a little lazy, and intensely spoiled. She was adept at making friends at school, although those times she did make enemies their feuds quickly became legendary, either in their intensity or by the dramatic reconciliations. She took to sex like a fish to water when introduced to it, something that gave her parents nightmares and fits for years to come, unable to rein in their daughter despite their best efforts, although taking some solace in her reports of never having had an encounter she regrets.<br/><br/>Graduating high school, she was remarkably unmotivated, relative to her peers, never having found anything that quite drove her to succeed. She continued to educate herself, spending long periods in libraries, but she never felt the need to subject herself to the structured format of a university, satisfied with her private studies and her hobbies, not the least of which are stargazing through her 8"" telescope, and sleeping with the people she brings out to help set up her 8"" telescope after they finish stargazing. She drifted through jobs as well, rotating through waitressing at a series of restaurants and cafes famous for their scandalous uniforms.<br/><br/>Only recently has she begun to become anxious and dissatisfied with how her life seems to be stagnating, and so it was with no small enthusiasm that she received the news of the call for enrollment Royal Academy. At the very least, she reasons, it'll be a way to sharpen her skills, and to gain stories that'll she be telling till the day she dies.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><strong>What is your name?</strong><br/>Misa Sudevi<br/><br/><strong>--If you prefer to be called by a nickname, what is it?</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>How old are you?</strong><br/>19 as of three weeks ago!<br/><br/><strong>Are you a virgin? </strong><br/>No.<br/><br/><strong>--If no, how experienced would you consider yourself?</strong><br/><del>More experienced than most I think?

And after that there was this really bitchy girl Kylee, so I let her boyfriend score with me in a closet and made sure she caught us in the act. I kinda got a reputation after that, and there were a few people who sorta came and went. And at a party that solstice I got a little drunk, and it turned out Kylee had got some stupid magic thing that gave her a cock, so she took me upstairs and tied me to a headboard and had her way with me, saying if her then boyfriend got to see what it was like with me, she should too. There were a few more other boys around school after that, and is it turned out Kylee kind of liked having it both ways, so I ended up sleeping with her some more—she was the first I let stick it in my butt. And there was one twenty-something woman who was a trophy wife of on my best friends' fathers, and I kept her company some nights.

However, she's also a loyal member of her house, and particularly affectionate towards them. A result of her extremely sheltered upbringing is that she is rather trusting of everybody she meets, and is too liberal with her kindness and compassion. Her shyness has resulted in her never really taking advantage of the multitude of sexual offers presented to her from her servants, other families, and sometimes even her own family members, but she tries her best to take care of the repressed feelings in private.<br/><br/>Physical Description:<br/>She might be described as pretty, or maybe even beautiful, if she was competent in dressing appropriately for those causes.

Lucilla's birth came as an accident, the result of her parent's one night reliving of better days. As such, when she was born, she was regarded as somewhat of a mistake. Still, a normal, healthy birth at the parents' age was uncommon, and so she was regarded as a fortuitious mistake instead. She was doted upon by her parents, given more or less what she wanted, as long as it was within the (not considerable) fortunes of the family. Still, this also resulted in Lucilla being isolated from contact with others of her age, and made her rather shy, but also trusting of others. Still, the family needed to be brought out of the mire of stagnation, and thus when the announcement went out, Lucilla decided that she at least had to try. Her womanly charms were there, after all.

Like wildfire, the ambitions of her adopted daughters spread, until finally, Empress Elanor Rena Corelia XIV and Empress Milliard Ryl had conqured the mortal plane. At that point, they turned to fight their mother's former mistress, who ruled the infernal plane with an iron fist. After claiming the infernal realm as their own, with the Staff of Dragons and the Blade of Damnation in hand, Oona lead a revolt against the gods themselves to claim the Helm of Divinity. With the three artifacts of the Time Before Time gathered, Empress Elanor opened the Vault of Eternity, and presented the Crown of Reality to her mother; with it, Oona became the mother goddess of the world of Luri'ia. With the world in their hands, Oona was soon worshiped by countless people across Luri'ia, with Elnaor and Milliard being worshiped as the goddesses of warfare and the sea respectively.<br/><br/>Since then, the world of Luri'ia has undergone great changes, with electricity now commonplace, and computers just beginning to show practical applications; with the world under their control, the goddess's daughters rule from the capital city of Corellia, where the most worthy of women are chosen to be touched by Oona's priestesses, transforming them into succubi. Each year, every temple chooses one woman, and the high priestess of the temple initiates the transformation, turning them into a succubus. However, this year, it has been decreed that there would only be one new succubus, and she would not be chosen by the priestesses.<br/><br/>Oona herself gave the decree: All young maidens of ages 16-25 who were neither wed nor betrothed were to apply for the Corellian Royal Academy for Young Women. At the end of the school year, on the five hundredth anniversary of Oona's transcendence, she would choose a third daughter, and grant upon her a gift that she has not given in all the years since: The chosen student would not merely be a priestess as most succubi were, this one would be chosen to become the goddess of lust.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The sun beat down upon the academy courtyard, trickling through the clouds gracefully as the hopeful students gathered below. Surrounded by the marble halls on every side, with this years students gathered around the podium. The crowd parted, bowing as the succubus Millard Ryl- empress of the Corellian empire by right of marriage and goddess of the seas- stepped forward.<br/><br/>Dressed in a replica of her old admiral's uniform modified to accomadate her wings and tail, the empress looked exactly like she did in the history books. Her presence and gaze was enough to silence the crowd which had been bustling mere moments before. Gesturing for the crowd to rise, Empress Ryl began to speak, ""Proud people of the empire, allow me to thank you all for coming. Before I begin, I have something I'd like you to do: Look around at your soon-to-be peers; just as you have bowed to me, soon you will bow to one of them.<br/><br/>""By this point, you have all already been accepted into the academy, but do not think that that is license to grow lax; this next year will test you to your core. Regardless of your age, I'm sure you've heard this at the beginning of every school school year, but I'm going to say it anyways: You will have to pay attention to your teachers, take notes, and study hard. Those of you who don't<em>will</em>fall behind, and those who fall behind will be forgotten by time. Although only one succubus will be chosen this year, let me assure you that all those who do well will be considered as candidates for the standard honor of becoming a priestess in future years to come.<br/><br/>""For this orientation, all classrooms will be open to everyone; you are allowed and encouraged to speak with the women who will soon be your teachers, as well as those who are your fellow students; become acquainted with those whom you'll be spending the next year with, and familiarize yourself with the layout of the school as well as the faces who are within it.<br/><br/>""Now, are there any questions you might have?"" the empress asked, scanning the crowd for raised hands and unsure eyes."

Her modest white robes of thick fabric were a stark contrast to many girls who choose more revealing outfits. When the letter of acceptance to the academy had arrived for her, and her orders on when to leave and where to report, she was more than a little stunned at what seemed like a cruel joke. Her entire letter had been constructed to bring forth rejection, surely a pure blooded mortal of the Amagi clan would never be picked, she had been virtually assured that despite her refusal to get caught in a marriage trap before she was ready. But when that letter came her father's eyes had turned cold, her mother's sad and mournful. It was as if just being accepted made her dead to them. Even if she failed here, even she refused to become what they trained for here, even if they sent her back the first day with her virginity intact, she knew she would return home as an outcast among her own people. Her heart was split in two as she waited for the speech, feeling as if the empire had decided to play a cruel joke with her future. She had no direction anymore, and was anxious about the trials that awaited.<br/><br/>There were no boys here, at home so many vied for her attention and she had loved it. Yukiko had such great prospects in the clan, and all of them were lost. After the acceptance, no one bothered to court her anymore, no one bothered to speak to her, there was no one to see her off. A cruel joke indeed, Iona had found a way to cast her off from her own people. Now she wished she would have chosen a husband, even if it would have meant a life long commitment to a family. But it was too late for regrets.<br/><br/>The empress spoke, and Yukiko listened, she wasn't going to simply tune everything out because she was unhappy with her circumstances. Something was said that made a great impression on her. Those who failed would be forgotten by history. Yukiko sighed, at one time she had aspired to be a women that the Amagi clan remembered proudly for ages to come, that was gone now, but she didn't want to be an outcast, or to be forgotten.<br/><br/>She stood solemnly, still has a statue as she actually asked the enrolled if they had question.

Surprisingly so, given who was giving it. How long had the empress reigned? She must have the political cunning of, well, actually she probably<em>was</em>the person you were compared to when someone wanted to compliment your acumen. This felt like a… commencement address. Which, she supposed, was appropriate, this being the beginning of a school term and all, but it added a certain level of surreality to the entire proceeding. Except for the illustrious standing of the speaker, it felt like they were going into the academy.<br/><br/>Which, come to think, they were. Misa chewed her lip, her brows furrowing as she thought and listened. It didn't capture the magnitude of the situation, though. Competing to become a literal<em>goddess</em>under the watchful eyes of an empress.<br/><br/>She couldn't help but glance around at that thought, a sigh coming to her lips unbidden. Do not become lax indeed. Misa suspected this was going to involve some of the most fierce and vicious competition ever seen in the academy. It was a pity so<em>many</em>were involved. While she was fairly certain that she could find some drawbacks to being a goddess of lust, but it would have been nice to have a real chance to be the one picked.<br/><br/>On the other hand, someone had to be picked, and there wasn't anything she could think of that disqualified her. Just things that made it unlikely.<br/><br/>…and if her mother was to be believed, she was perfect for the position. The furrow of her brow deepened. Couldn't the woman just be happy for her for once?<br/><br/>She pushed aside the thought, forcing herself back into a more pleasant expression before raising her hand. She had plenty of questions of course—where would she be staying, who was paying her tuition—but most of them were details for the administration later. She had had to reach a bit to formulate something related enough, unwilling to pass up the opportunity to be noticed like this, even if it would be trivial in the long run. Moments passed before she was called upon. ""Yes, thank you, Your Majesty,"" she said, dutifully respectful, if not entirely certain of the finer points of imperial protocol. ""Will we be personally assessed by the goddess herself, or by someone acting in her stead?"""

He was a child of his family and by his hundredth year had tried nearly all narcotics available in the South Americas, lain with countless women, sired a daughter with his own half-sister, killed men with nary a thought and helped hide the vices of the more twisted members of the Zantosas.<br/><br/>When Upper Peru's struggle for independence began in 1809 an eager Emíl, looking no more than twenty-five, accepted the family's wishes for him to join the revolution and in the bloodshed dispose of their business rivals in the country. Through sixteen long years Emíl fought both on the field and in homes, killing Spaniards and plantation owners alike for both glory among his comrades and favour among his relations. It was still a wearied man who returned to the Villa after Bolivia had be proclaimed and from then on he retreated away to certain extent from the wild parties and debauchery of his family.<br/><br/>He gratefully accepted requests to aid the Tzimisce in North America and would spends many years as a daytime guard for his masters. It was in 1869 he found himself in New York City as one of the guards of a young Tzimisce making a name for herself in the city. He was there the night her haven was attacked by something that came from the night on wings, crashing in through the windows to engage the ghouls and revenants. One by one they were dispatched, though they were able to ensure the Tzimisce's escape, until Emíl alone barricaded himself in the house's attic. Again and again the creature tried to force its way inside, but even then Emíl was no push-over, thwarting it just barely each time. It was just before dawn when the statue like being gave up and lifted off into the graying sky.<br/><br/>Emíl watched its flight and saw it duck into a church tower before the sun's rays could appear on the horizon. He collapsed with a sigh onto the floor and fell asleep on the spot. When he woke up it was yet daylight, though it was quickly failing, and so he swiftly armed himself with a firearm and a broken length of wood from the destruction and made his way to the church. Climbing up into the tower he searched high and low for over an hour before deciding that the strange vampire must have found some way out of the church. Just then, a rough gray hand reached out of the masonry and grabbed hold of him, followed by: ""<strong>You again?</strong>""<br/>With the pleasure and torment of death and rebirth, Emíl's memory left him and what was to become Stráž began to form.<br/><br/>Stráž spent his early years in the care of Beryl, the female Gargoyle that had been so impressed by his prowess that she'd chosen him for her company down the long nights of unlife. Beryl was a crafted Gargoyle, created in Europe long ago and, having survived the destruction of her Tremere domitor, came to the Americas to get away from the Camarilla. Stráž, however, left her soon enough to venture into the nights alone, seeking for other Kindred and finding them in the very organization that Beryl had sought to escape from. Even so he drifted from city to city, never seen as more than a second hand vampire when he wasn't assaulted directly by the Tremere, until he settled more or less in England where he serves as a deputy to the local Sheriff. Still, he is sometimes found abroad and away from his work.<br/><br/>http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/8723 (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/8723)"

She likes to help people, listen to their problems and find a way to help them. She doesnt like to kill, which she feared that she would have to once she had been turned, but was very glad to hear that she didnt have to to survive. She has a playfull nature that was only partly shown off, but her Toreador vampire blood brought it out completely. She doesnt like rudeness, and if she doesnt like someone, she lets them know, as theres nothing false about her.<br/><br/>Background- Emily was 22 when she was turned. She was the daughter of a member of Congress in Washington and the daughter of one of Balimore's society families. Emily grew up with all the right teachings of a proper lady, but enjoyed sneaking out with her brothers at night to see the city. They took her to places that her parents would never have approved, and that made her long to be more than just married to man, have children, and thats all she wrote.<br/><br/>At the age of 17, her parents began to accept potential  suitors for her hand, as was the done thing. But most of the men who courted her wanted her to be just their wife, bear children, and thats it. She rejected every one for a year until she met Lincoln Stride, the son of one of the East Coasts biggest trading companies. He was the first to see what she yearned for, and he was the first  one that she wanted to see again, then again, to the relief of her parents, who were afraid that their oldest daughter would never marry.<br/><br/>After three months of courting, they had become engaged to be married, and had been out at a theatre. They had been stopped in the street and waylaid by opportunistic thieves. One of them had mistakenly thought that she was reaching for a weapon and shot her. Catching his slowly dying fiancee, Lincoln had lunged at the man, breaking his nose and knocking him flying before this three accomplices had shot him and his coach driver. They had fled with anything of value, leaving her there in the coach to die.<br/><br/>Just as she was sure she would die, a figure in a suit had approached, checked her wound, then told her what he was, and the choice that she could make. She had accepted, and died that night, only to wake up again as a vampire of the Toreador clan. Within a day, she had returned to the site, smelt the blood from the one that lincoln had injured, and followed the trail until she had found him. She had forced him to tell her where the other three were, then drained him completely. She visited all three and punished them for what they had done to her, and said goodbye to her mortal trappings and life forever.<br/><br/>She would never grow old, never die of natural causes, and had other skills. But she had to feed. Her sire had taught her all that she needed to know until she left with a new identity. With her Toreador blood in her, she became a singer and artist, eager to learn more and rise up in vampire society."

Of course she understands how one must behave in company yet she does not like it. The young woman for the most is honest, almost to the point of being blunt and even perhaps rude.<br/><br/>She is usually uncomfortable in polite society, one might consider her nervous.<br/><br/>Though a predetor by nature Rose is not a murderur or a killer, she does not toy or play with her food and if the truth be told she generally feeds from animals.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/><br/>Rose Wilde is not the name this gangrel was born with, merely another given name, and in her life and unlife the ‘girl’ had been given many.<br/><br/>Her life began in India or at least the one she remembered; she was the daughter of one of the fine officers that protected the British Empire. Her mother was beautiful distant creature, like some fine painting or ornament to be watched from a distance. Yes her mother was as the princess’s in her books. Just as her father was a gallent  knight perhaps even  prince.<br/><br/>However Claudia as her name was then, was brought up by her Indian ‘nanny’ an Ayah, and she was a spoilt and horrible child, for she was indulged most terribly by all the servants. Yet all ‘Claudia’ craved was her parents to notice her but they were far too busy. Thus the child became more unbearable.<br/><br/>All was almost well, at least Claudia believed so until disaster hit, Cholera…many of the servants were the first to go, then her parents, for some reason she survived. Though it had not saved her father, the wolf blood within kept her strong.<br/><br/>No human found her, for no one came, too fearful of the sickness, and they believed all were dead, for barely any were aware of the child..<br/><br/>It was the wild wolves that came, hungry as they were they broached the scent of death, but the Alpha female would not take the child for she was not prey. Instead she became the girl’s parent. The girl was perhaps five then, and somehow in this environment, within the pack, she learned something that she had never experienced.<br/><br/>Closeness and family.<br/><br/>She ran with wolves for maybe 5 years perhaps more, after all time was less important now. Her name changed again, though this time few could speak it for it was a howl a bark and a scent.<br/><br/>The girl was no longer sickly and spoilt rather she was wild and free…she would have been happy to remain with the pack. But then the two legs came they shot some of the pack and took her away to women that smelled like sterile creatures, dressed in black…<br/><br/>They called her Mary and forced her to walk on two legs with wooden splints, the wood pained her legs and made her feel ill; they beat her when she bit them. In time, some nice couple that were from another country came and took ‘Mary ‘ by now she had at least learned to speak, and to eat in a more civilized manner. These 'nice people' changed her name again Abigail was the one they chose, because they could.<br/><br/><br/>They were good people, they were kind people, or appeared so…but they had not quite understood how feral the girl still was. Also a part of the reason they had her was for status, after all they were even shown in the local papers and had a few lines in the nationals for bringing an Indian wolf child…it also helped that this childe was actually white and from a good family. At least it was believed so. The couple was also working on getting her inheritance for the sake of Abigail of course.<br/><br/>The stories in the press however gathered the attention of another. He pitied the show creature, but also when he finally saw her envied the way she was far more free than he, even bound in clothes she hated. Perhaps it was the wolf blood in her veins that drew him too her. Though he wrestled with himself knowing he must wait for she was still young, not long past her sixteenth year.<br/><br/>Yet this was not too be for after only so long the wild girl could no longer live with in the confines of her parents ideals, the wilds called to her screamed to her. She was sometimes found naked running to find the wolves in her mind. Her ‘father’ knew that the only thing to do was have the girl placed in an asylum.<br/><br/>Abigail was not stupid though and she understood what was going to happen, and would not be placed in some cage, some prison just because she did not fit in.<br/><br/>So she ran, and ran, stripping off for the last time those tight bodices, those impractical skirts, she was so filled with a need to find herself that she never noticed the tree root and then the drop. Abigail fell and lay broken and dying by the side of a river where the wild roses bloomed. The water lapped against her slowly drawing her in…Then he came…his pup would not be gone from this world…<br/><br/>So Abigail became the wild rose, or rather Rose Wilde. After as is cusomamary with Gangrel a year passed and her Sire found her again, thus and for the past few years he has schooled her properly before he presented her into the world of the kindred."

She is unaware of most advances since the 1550's. She sometimes seems aloof and quiet when she is trying to study or figure something out. Her nature is a celebrant. She revels in the work that she does and the knowledges she attains. However, her demeanor is an enigma. Her thoughts and feelings are rarely written across her face, and is usually, instead, blank.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Haqim was the founder of the Assamite clan in 12,000BC. He was last seen in 121AD. Haqim created Ur-Shulgi who created Al-Ashrad who created Amaravati who created Zahira, making her a seventh generation vampire.<br/><br/>Zahira was brought up in a very wealthy household in Tehran, Iran, by two incredibly powerful sorcerers as parents. They were said to be descendents of Haqim's first three sorcerers. Because of this, Zahira grew up knowing full well of the existence of all things supernatural, including vampires. Amaravati studied close with Zahira's parents during her youth and Zahira spent much time perched upon his knee, playing with his robes as he read his findings to her. At the young age of 16, Zahira found her feelings toward Amaravati blossoming into more than mere study partners. In the awkward way of teenage girls, her attraction was immediately obvious to Amaravati. Longing for love and companionship, Amaravati was quick to accept her affections and return his own.<br/><br/>In 1493 the Convention of Thorns is signed, signaling the end of the Anarch Revolt and creating a forced peace between Anarchs, Camarilla, and Assamites. During his drunken displeasure over the whole situation, Amaravati drank too deeply of his 20 yr old lover, Zahira. Seeing her near lifeless form in his arms, he panicked. He tore at the flesh of his skin, releasing a steady stream of his own blood and pressed this firmly to Zahira's mouth. Her cold still lips didn't respond at first but, as the blood flooded her throat, she came alive. She sucked and gulped vigorously at the wrist of her lover. Amaravati finally pulled his arm free of Zahira's grasp only moments before sleep took her.<br/><br/>She woke a vampire.<br/><br/>For fifty years Zahira trained with Amaravati. They shared the Baali curse of Cainite bloodlust but they also shared the Tremere curse rendering them unable to drink the blood of vampires. Unable to stand the temptation of each other, Amaravati fled Alamut, begging Zahira not to follow him. Zahira currently continues study at Alamut under the sixth generation vampire, Lydia Dorn, who has also become her lover. Over the many years Zahira's sole focus on her study and limited interaction with outsiders has reduced her humanity. Zahira is a member of the Loyalist Faction, to which Amaravati is the Amr.<br/><br/><strong>Quirks and Habits:</strong>She often times has her nose stuck in a book of sorts. She has an affinity for magical items. Her merits and flaws are listed on her character sheet.<br/><br/><strong>Quotes:</strong>""Now isn't that curious..."" and ""I believe I have a ritual for that."" and ""Haqim, Almighty!"" and ""By Haqim!""<br/><br/><strong>Important Facts:</strong>Assamites skin grows darker over time, not paler.

He is not shy but is uncomfortable around others unless it is in regards to his passion. This makes him somewhat socially awkward and boring in a totally social situation.

When he is with other people he will do his best to be polite and respectful, but can be inadvertently rude do to his lack of interest in socializing.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>He is an avid student of archeology born and raised in the United States and loves all things old and ancient dealing with human history. He has a natural aptitude for languages and is fluent and literate in several modern and ancient languages. He has a great deal of knowledge regarding many different religions around the world current and throughout history, but it is strictly academic knowledge.<br/><br/>While studying for his doctorate he traveled to the middle east, as it is considered to be where civilization first came into being. While studying at the library in Tehran he was approached by a woman. At first he is polite to her but makes it clear he wants to study. She however is quite persistent and does not leave him to his studies. Whether she used supernatural abilities on or not he does not know or really care, but he ended up leaving with her. After their night together he learned that she was a vampire and he was addicted to her blood. He reluctantly at first agrees to accompany her back to Alamut. Once there he is absolutely delighted to be living in an ancient ruins surrounded by beings that have lived through the history he loves.

She is not super strong, but she is quick and knocks the enemy off their balance. She is very uniquely acrobatic and flexible. Her moves are very long range because of the fact she throws herself at them. Her defense is decent but not very good as she is more of the one who attacks. She has a unique move called Honey-Kiss , she blows a kiss and it swarms pollen around the area acting as a gas distraction basically."

He is able to understand how things work.  Even if he doesn't know the science behind something, he is still able to understand HOW it works.  For instance, if you were to hand him a highly volatile charged plasma battery, he would be able to describe, in great technical detail, exactly how and what it does, and then proceed to explain how it could be improved.  Techno, as it so happens, has been a native to South City. As the situation got worse and worse, he eventually created a technosuit to fight crime with using his profound understanding of technology. However, he was unable to stem the criminal activity much by himself. For his efforts, the criminals targeted his family and ""something happened"".  Just what happened, Techno will never say, but suffice it to say, it is now the primary drive behind his crime fighting efforts. When the two titan groups moved in, he immediately joined the West Titans, in the hopes that he would be able to stop the crime in the city. He is of the belief that the two groups should either merge, or focus on separate territories. After all, fighting crime is hard enough, he shouldn't have to fight other super heroes as well.

She likes the color white, so she always wheres a white, knee-length dress that gives off a soothing feeling and somehow seems to miraculously stay clean, despite her profession.  Underneath the dress she wears a pair of denim shorts to maintain her modesty while flying and fighting crime. (After all, a dress is not exactly appropriate for crime fighting.) She has commissioned a super-hero outfit, but progress has been slow in making it because of schedule constraints.<br/><br/>Sexual Preference: Straight (though she kissed a girl and she liked it.)<br/><br/>Details: The first thing Luna remembers was the moon shining down on her as the sound of sirens approached. She had no memory of what had happened or who she was.  All around her was debris and car parts.  Off to her side, a mother was crying over her unmoving child, and the other people involved in the accident were beginning to stir.  After being rushed to the hospital, she was alarmed to find out that no one involved in the accident knew who she was either.  For that matter, no records existed of her. No birth certificate, no DNA on file, no medical records. Absolutely nothing. It was as if she never existed.  With no identity to call her own, she decided to call herself Luna, after the moon that had seemed so close to her the night she awoke. Since no one could identify her, the hospital staff decided it was best that she be held in ""protective"" custody.  What they were really doing was keeping her in place so the cops could take her away as a suspect.  When they tried to arrest her, some of her latent powers were unleashed, and the entire floor of the hospital became hysteric and panicky. It didn't take long for the cops to realize she was the source of the mass hysteria and they pursued her out of the hospital.  Once outside of the hospital, another latent power activated and she became invisible, helping her lose the cops with ease.  With no idea who she was, and no money to sustain herself, she was forced to resort to stealing things and living on the streets, where she eventually fell in with a group of petty criminals. Unbeknownst to her, she was being watched by a mysterious individual who had a keen interest in her.  One day, as the group was about to commit a crime, this mysterious individual appeared out of nowhere and quickly incapacitated her comrades.  He then approached her and introduced himself as ""Wraith"". He told her that her talents were being wasted with that group and she should join him.  She couldn't tell why, but something deep down told her to avoid this man like the plague, so she politely refused his offer. The man merely chuckled back at her, as if knowing that she would refuse his offer.  After he had left, she realized he was right about one thing.  Her talents were being wasted committing crimes.  She decided that from that moment forward, she would do things the right way and use her powers for good.  There was only one slight problem....She still had little to no control over her abilities.  She sought out the East Titans in the hopes of learning how to use her powers for good, without causing too much collateral damage.<br/><br/>Body: 3<br/>Mind: 7<br/>Soul: 8<br/><br/>HP: 55<br/>EP: 75 + 25 = 100<br/>SV: 11<br/>CV: 6<br/>ACV: 6<br/>DCV: 6+2 = 8<br/><br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Attribute</strong></td><td><strong>Level</strong></td><td><strong>Point cost</strong></td><td><strong>Notes</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Combat Technique</td><td>3</td><td>2/r(6)</td><td>deflection, reflection, judge opponent</td></tr><tr><td>Damage Absorption(energy, HP)</td><td>1</td><td>10/r(10)</td><td>Absorb 5 HP from energy attacks</td></tr><tr><td>Defense Combat Mastery</td><td>2</td><td>10/r(20)</td><td>+2dcv</td></tr><tr><td>Energy Bonus</td><td>5</td><td>2/r(10)</td><td>+ 25 EP</td></tr><tr><td>Exorcism</td><td>4</td><td>2/r(8)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Extra Actions</td><td>1</td><td>15/r(15)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Extra Defenses</td><td>1</td><td>5/r(5)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Flight</td><td>3</td><td>8/r(16)</td><td>able to fly at speeds of 100 kph (though she prefers to go slower)</td></tr><tr><td>Healing</td><td>4</td><td>4/r(16)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Insubstantial</td><td>9</td><td>8/r(72)</td><td>Luna is able to become partially or totally insubstantial at will.  No matter how insubstantial she is however, she can still be affected by energy.</td></tr><tr><td>Invisibility</td><td>1</td><td>6/r(6)</td><td>invisible to sight.</td></tr><tr><td>Features(Scentless)</td><td>1</td><td>1/r(1)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Mind Control(possession)</td><td>2</td><td>4/r(8)</td><td>Luna is able to “possess” creatures and then use their innate abilities.

However, as his body was growing, his mind stayed behind. During his first years at school, it was already clear Billy wasn't as smart as the rest of the children. Later testing showed he was not retarded, he was just a bit simple. But even so, he made it through school, after all who is going to bully a guy capable of 'accidentally' walking through walls when distracted. Or lifting up cars to get balls from under it. And being quite good looking also helped out. Considering Billy grew quite normally in his surprising strength, he is actually very well adjusted to normal life. Unless of course he gets agitated and slams against things, or throws them.<br/><br/>While for others goes that sticks and stones might break theirs bones, Billy actually is next to invincible to such attacks.

She was found wandering in the desert just outside Phoenix AZ. She was taken in by the system and assigned a foster family to raise her. This situation did not last very long though as soon as her powers started showing tension was quickly built up. The family was scared of her and things went from bad to worse so Rose quickly ran away to the streets. She survived by filching food with her powers until a large scale guild of thieves found her, and wanting to utilize her powers they took her in. For several years Rose was trained by the guild and became a rather skilled thief and the guild grew prosperous. The members of the guild took care of her but they never really were a family to the young girl. One day the guild had dealings with a very powerful and well known mercenary known as Deathstroke. The guild was greedy and attempted to betray Deathstroke for their own gain. Deathstroke's retaliation was merciless leaving not a single member alive accept for Psi whom he captured. Seeing her power and potential for himself he decided to take her in as yet another one of his forces. Psi received extensive combat training as one of Slade's agents learning to utilize her power in combat and to handle herself without the use of her power. Roughly a year ago a group of titans and other heroes lead by Tim Drake assaulted Deathstroke's compound in a large scale battle. During the battle Psi was defeated and captured by Tim and the rest of Deathstroke's forces were defeated although he got away. Seeing that Psi wasn't evil by nature and that there was hope for her Tim began to try to rehabilitate her. Tim was successful and Psi, who had never really enjoyed hurting people in the first place agreed to use her abilities for the forces of good. After saying goodbye to Tim and thanking him once again she set out to join a group of Titans and having heard South City decided to try her luck there with the Titan's West.<br/>As a side note Psi loves to cook and pursues it avidly as a non violent past time.

She does know one thing though that she is a Demon and that she has the power to make any person male or female do whatever she wishes. It has been that way for as long as she can remember. She use her ability to get money or to get a free dinner but it never grew pass the occasional fuck and hide the body because you drained him too much. She did knew that she had a frail body, always getting hurt or falling down a lot.  One day however it all changed when her human friend got murdered in order to get to her, she killed the gang by making them jump off a bridge into the running water of a waterfall below. It was there and then when she knew how powerful she was. She swore herself to get whatever she wished and don’t keep any friends that would hinder her being happy.<br/><br/>With that she moved to South City getting a job at a local radio station. She knew that her voice could be used to mind control people into doing whatever she wanted, but so far she did not do anything with it she wanted to wait until she needed it. Getting a small apartment she dedicated herself to send humans to do bank heist and get her the money, the human would later be disposed of if ready. She decided to stay there for awhile, keep her cool down since she knew the titans were around not wanting to get her attention more than what she wanted.  She knew however that she would soon make her appearance to the titans and there was nobody who can stop her.<br/>"

On a successful save, the opponent is immune to your Frightful Presence for 24 hours.<br/>This ability cannot affect creatures with Intelligence 3 or lower, nor does it work on Dragons.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Spike is the third son of Morgase Trakand. Yet he spent most of his childhood outside of Caemlyn, though he rarely left the territory of Andor. Spending most of his time around Baerlon, he loved to camp around Lake Somal. During one of his camping trips, he saw a star fall from the sky and crash into the Mountains of Mist. The next day he set out on an expedition to find it. No easy task with all the fog, but he found it anyway. It was larger than him and heavier than steel, no wonder it fell. Wanting to take it with him, he rolled it out of the crater it landed in and down the hill toward Baerlon. Then it was carted of to Caemlyn, where it was made into the sword for his warder training. As an Andoran Prince in line to assume the position of First Prince of the Sword, Spike had customary military training in Tar Valon, among the warders. Being the strong lad he was the training was no problem for him, and breezed through in no time at all.<br/><br/>Royal Tabard of Andor:<br/><em>Made of fine white linen, and embroidered with gold, this tabard is worn by all princes of Andor. On the chest is an elegant damask of a lions head made with golden threads (though the First Prince of the Sword's is platinum). The lion being the symbol of Andor</em><br/>This royal tabard gives Spike a regal look deserving of a warden prince like himself. One can't help but think highly of him when they see the golden lion roaring on his chest. Spike's character level is treated as two higher for spells and abilities, and gets a plus 5 to Intimidate."

She left her family a few years ago, convinced she was doing the right thing, and changed her name to Aurora as a sign of her new begging.<br/><br/>She has a code of honor, in that she won't steal from the poor-- most of her 'big jobs' have been donated to the impoverished of Tear.  She sees herself as a sort of Robin Hood figure.  That said, she's not entirely selfless, and sometimes her greed gets the best of her...but by and large she tries to stay on the path of an honest thief.<br/><br/>During one heist, she was caught by an Aes Sedai named Naia Revan, whom decided, for one reason or another, not to turn in the young thief.  Instead, Aurora now follows Naia in her journeys.  Although Aurora sometimes criticizes Naia's methods, the two have a working relationship of sorts, and Aurora manages to get along with the other members of the party."

It is a honorary title, like Doctor, for all intent and purposes. Which is something all the rest of you have to keep in mind. When addressing a Aes Sedai, you always use Sedai at the end, as it is quite improper to not.<br/><br/>Also if you are from the borderlands, you are all quite respectful to Aes Sedai, in how well they can kill shadowspawn and save the lives of men through healing. Aes Sedai lose respect as the more south you get through the land. In Tear, channeling is outright forbidden.<br/><br/>Also if you were to say that you were traveling with a Aes Sedai in front of a Whitecloak, he would try to capture you or just kill you right then and there. So who you talk to and where has huge consequences.<br/><br/>Right now you are in Andor, which has a more then friendly relationship with the White Tower. The Queen of Andor openly admits to having a Aes Sedai as a aid, and the children of the Queen are sent to the White Tower to be trained. So the populace are still suspicious towards Aes Sedai, but they tolerate them."

My mother was an unfortunate girl who happened to have been captured in a raid and made a sexual servant for many a year to an orc warlord along with the others. He favored torturing her of course with his touch and his perversions because... well I can't tell you because I barely know my mother. She is a priestess of Sarenrae but when she was rescued she was bearing me inside her womb and nearly broken from the experiences. It's a miracle she survived my birth in my opinion. As much as the church's teaching promote tolerance of my existence since I was an innocent babe all the same she could not stand the sight of me. She left me in the hands of her order and wen't elsewhere to recover from her own ordeals. I have no memory of her, only what I was told of her through stories and portraits. I do not blame her for such actions. It was my father and he is father in just name.""<br/><br/>""My true father and mother is Sarenrae and of the church that housed me. I am a knight and that is not just by simple name. I trained to become one in all aspects of code as well as discipline. They taught me how to read and write and how to handle a weapon. Sarenrae took the place of my mother and saw the potential for great good in me and as she had raised me in her house, I remained to devote myself to the church. I trained, read and committed the scriptures to my heart. I earned my position the same way they would grant any of his knights. A quest was given along with an oath, I swore my heart and blade upon it. My father is still out there still harming others with his ways. It is my personal quest to end his existence so he may never harm another like my mother ever again. This is my choice of redemption and form of proper justice. I do not have to bear this burden but I do so anyway.""<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Known Creed of Gra'ak</strong></span><br/><br/><em>""Honor no laws that would promote evil.""<br/>""Honor the laws that are just and hold peace.""<br/>""Honor none who hold wickedness in them truly.""<br/>""Honor those who would not serve the law but remain just.""</em>"

His nights rang with the sounds of a blacksmith, the ringing of the hammers and the hiss of hot steel in cold snow.To further trade he learned dwarven and accompanied the traders on the routes to the dwarven lords in their stone halls.<br/><br/>Life was hard, but it was peaceful and the only creatures he had to use his sword on were the beasts of the forest.The clans were no longer the mercenaries that they once were, but hunters and gatherers. Still, there were those that yearned for the old ways. They wanted to see the world plunged to ruin so they could once again quench their thirst for blood. While Kaless was away, these very people descended upon his clan and wiped it from the face of gaia, Including his wife. The only clue to their identity were the symbol.. a blood red hawk clutching a sickle in its claws. A few days (or weeks.. he does not remember much) of mourning his clan inside a bottle of wine and he made up his mind. He would set out to find these bastards that murdered his people.. and personally rip out their hearts.<br/><br/>(tell me if i'm missing anything, or if the story does not fit the world. always willing to work with you and change it)<br/>"

Some say she was found within the Whisper Woods as a babe abandoned and hidden away in the bushes left to her fate, others add that her parents where ambushed by foul denizens of the forest and that she was the only survivor of the attack and that her parents died defending her and hiding her from the same fate as them.  The only link and proof to some of the claims made by stories and told by Greatwillow herself are the few items of her parents that she has in her possession, supposedly given to Greatwillow to give to Lia'ilezaraeth when she reached an adult age. Among these items where personal possessions and books belonging to her mother and father as well as her Mothers bow and Fathers blade both engraved with signs and tales of her family heritage. Greatwillow took to raising Saenaelith (Whisper Wood Child) as she called her as a child of the forests and revealed to her many of the secrets of nature and magic as she was growing up. In time and with adulthood Saenaelith begun to master the ways of of witchcraft which Greatwillow herself practised she instilled in Saenaelith a neutral balanced outlook saying many a time that it was better to lead a balanced existence and to combat only those that disrupted the balance or where unnatural in there ways.  Of course there was always plenty of “unnatural” things in the Whisper Wood so Greatwillow and her ward where often faced with protecting there territory or rooting out unnatural visitors to the forest. For decades Saenaelith and Greatwillow lived in relative peace in there home within the Whisper Wood, mostly due to Greatwillow's protection and reputation in the area among those who know the forest.  Of late Greatwillow begun to become distant from her ward more and more and would not speak of what troubled her, foul presences and evils seamed to be growing within the forest. Saenaelith and Greatwillow grew distant and Saenaelith became used to not seeing the Treant for days, weeks and even months her only companion now became her familiar owl Garithar (Owl Friend).  It was not until the time between Greatwillow's last visit slipped into the span of years that Saenaelith became troubled and decided to take it upon herself to find out her adoptive parent's fate and seek out the cause of the unnatural goings on within the Whisper Woods. Her investigations have led her discover an infernal influence behind the foul presences and taints within the woods, she has taken to travelling to discover more about this taint and perhaps find a way to fight and purge its unnatural presence from the land.<br/><br/>If you notice and errors or problems please point them out to me ^.^<br/>"

Early on the young rogue partnered up with a pair of similarly green recruits, a warrior named Roderick and a witch named Ling, working with them repeatedly over the first year and a half of their membership to the guild. Things seemed to be going well until the trio was sent to investigate a series of robberies  along the road leading towards the East. What had been suspected to be a small group of unorganized robbers turned out to be a cadre of notorious elvan highwaymen, recently arrived in the area. The bandits, both more numerous and more experienced than the trio managed to fore them into a retreat, and eventually split them up in the woods. Laurel and Ling found each other late in the evening, and though the witch wanted to return to the guild for reinforcements, the thief insisted on going back to rescue their missing companion.<br/>Though they managed to sneak into the camp and find Roderick, the warrior turned on the girls, calling over the bandits once he'd been untied. Ling was killed in the ensuing battle, and Laurel just barely escaped with her life.<br/>Returning to the city, she turned what had been a casual worship for Calistria to fervent worship, swearing slow, bloody vengeance against her former friend though her obligations to the guild have prevented her from pursuing him so far.<br/>When in the city, Laurel lives in a small apartment with Ling's sister, Mei.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Friendly, energetic, and surprisingly boisterous for someone who spends much of her time lurking in the shadows, Laurel is charming and easy to talk to as long as you're not a complete bastard. Though generally understanding and sympathetic of people's more negative facets, if you manage to get on her bad side you will never, ever get off of it.<br/>Laurel likes to drink and has a marked difficulty saying no to a pretty girl (and, on occasion, a sufficiently hansom boy), which can be a dangerous conbination if her companions don't keep an eye on her.<br/>Months after the incident with Roderick and Ling, Laurel still blames herself for the Witch's death and tends to be very, very protective of any arcane spellcaster she works with, even if they don't get along on a personal level."

She had left the pair trussed up in their 'uniform' for her and strode out. Along with their coin and a warning to never darken any hall she might grace on fear of intense pain. Then she had gone out in search of strong drink to banish the image of their wishes from her head. Striding into the hall the tall stony skinned woman looked around. Finding her quarry she strode over towards Rogar with the thunderous sound of her armored boot.

Cassidy wished he could go back to doing good the way he had been before, without regulation, and without the guild breathing down his neck. Not to mention how he was often looked down on for being 'just a little girl', and those that knew the truth were often even more crude.<br/><br/>Not to say that there were not women in the guild, but Cassidy was small, lithe, and hardly seemed a threat. He was often hired because of his particular skill in regards to tracking people, and was occasionally paired up with some big bruiser or lethal assassin. He often found the target, pointed the way, took his coin, and didn't wait around to see the results. The coin, that was a perk that Cassidy could accept, it had gotten him the very aptly named,<em>Handy Haversack</em>and a magical quiver.

These ritualistic  adornments where made from all manner of natural and organic materials, they where complimented by unusual painted patterns and markings which adorned her skin.  These things together with her few more normal looking items marked her clearly as some kind of adventurer obviously she had travelled far from her home.  Among her stranger possessions where those that with her appearance clearly marked her as likely being one of the Elven people.  The bow and blade she carried which seamed to be her only weapons where clearly of Elven make yet the blade at least seamed out of place on such a woman.<br/><br/>Saenaelith had found herself a place in an inn and in the few weeks she had been in the town become known as the “Whisper Wood Witch” mostly because few could pronounce her name, that and “Whisper Wood Witch” sounded more interesting when you where telling people about her.  The rumours begun when she cursed a local apprentice wizard who had mistaken her for a nymph and tried to have her kidnapped, many rumours circulated about what had actually happened most with Saenaelith making the wizard atone for his actions in some way.  It was after this that people begun speaking of her healing touch and unusual ways and magic's, not long after she joined the adventurers guild after having a few members visit her upon hearing of apparent neutral nature, she seamed willing to help any who would come before her but spoke as if she had a cause in life.<br/><br/>Today was a first for her since joining the guild she had only served as a person to be visited with adventurers being sent to her for healing or for the solution of problems they thought she could solve.  The only other mission she had been given was that of dealing with a dwarf who had become to addled by ale.  She had adorned herself with her belongings and the few things she had picked up in her travels her cloak, quiver, backpack and the exotic gemmed headband that adorned her head.  She stepped out of the slum building she had been paying to stay within and called her trusted companion and owl familiar Garithar to her right shoulder where he perched.<br/><br/>When she arrived at the Adventurer's guild that day she headed for the main hall where she had been told she was to meet and receive her mission, it was only the second time she had been to the place and her curiosity was noticeable as she glanced from person to person as she made her way through the building. When she finally arrived in the hall itself she walked slowly over to the dwarf waiting until it seamed nobody else was going to engage him in conversation. The way she approached him seamed somewhat peculiar as if she felt that clear signs of her intentions needed to be displayed. When she reached within polite talking distance of the dwarf she settled onto her knees and bowed her head before him.<br/><br/>She in common spoke in a wispy soft slow tone with an unfamiliar accent<em>“Are you the child of mountain's known as Rogar Ironhammer ?  I Saenaelith the a child of nature servant of the wood and old ways of  wyld.  It is spoken that you have a task for which my ways may be useful, please speak of this to me so that I may know if it serves the balance of the wyld and grant my service.”</em><br/><br/>She glanced up at him awaiting any reply hoping that her actions would not seam to unfamiliar or cause issue."

She had never been to South City before, and was looking around at the buildings and surroundings attempting to get her bearings. She was doing her best to learn the city quickly because if things went well this would soon be her new home. She had bags on the sides of her bike holding her costume and the few other meager possessions she owned in the world. She was currently dressed in casual clothes that consisted of a pair of jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a leather jacket along with a helmet over her head. As she pulled up to stop at a light she glanced down at the small gps attached to her bike, taking note of her current location and the remaining distance to her target. She was on her way to the West Titans Tower to seek membership with the group, and start off a hero career in order to undo some of the damage she had done in the past. She thought back to the last time she had seen Red Robin and his parting advice to seek out one of the groups of Titans and join a team. She was snapped out of her thoughts as the light turned green and she started to pull out into the intersection. Before she had made it very far into the middle her senses kicked in and warned her of the danger. Looking over she saw a van moving for her at high speed running straight through the red light. Her eyes widened and she pulled her bike around to the side hard as the van barreled by inches from clipping her bike. Psi's eyes flashed with anger and she flipped up her helmet visor screaming out ""Asshole!""

The moon was bright, and it made for a good night to check his snares. The young redheaded boy slipped from his warm bed, climbed into his clothes, and threw on his cloak. On the way out the door, he checked to make sure the fire hadn't gone out, and plucked a bag from the hangar on the wall.<br/><br/>The snares he was going to check were a short distance out into the woods, not many people went out that way. Mostly only Berash, and his brother used that stretch of land, and Berash usually hunted on the ohter side of the creek this time of year. Besides, as far as he knew, he was the only trapper in the area that bothered to check his snares at night. All the better for him, it was more peaceful at ngiht anyways.<br/><br/>Stalking his way quickly into the woods, thinking to himself about what he might catch, he stopped short. He had picked up a faint sound. Musical, and sweet... He had to be hearing things. No one was out at night. Then he heard it again. Now he knew, someone was singing. He didn't know what was going on, but inquisitive minds must know. He followed the sound to a small glade that he sometimes rested in, on long trips before making it all the way back to the village.<br/><br/>The sound was louder, and it was deffinately singing. And, it sounded strangely like Maeve, the town sweetheart. But, that couldn't be right... He cautiosuly aproached the clearing, edgeing into the trees, and he almost gasped aloud. He couldn't believe his eyes. The girl was treuly here, in the clearing dancing and singing. Completely naked. He stood mesmerized for a moment, before realizing he was staring at a naked girl. He caught his breath again, almost giving himself away and quickly turned to go. Glancing back one more time, he resolved to keep his mouth shut, and check the traps tomorrow morning. Oh the things his mind got him into.<br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>The next day was the festival. Kestrel got up early, and checked his traps. For whatever reason, they were all empty. Not all bad, since it meant he could freely enjoy the festivities. He kept trying to forget the night before, the beautiful naked dancing girl that he had seen, but the sight would not leave him.<br/><br/>He set up his stall with his father, displaying all the fine leather good they created together. Some of the leathers were his, some his fathers, and a good many had come from Berash, a good friend. In fact, Berash and his family had set up a stall right across from him. Kestrel knew Berash would be happy, as showed by his grin. Some of Berash's best hides were shown prominently on the stand. They would be sure to sell first. Kestrel gave the boy a thumbs up when he looked over, before going back to work.<br/><br/>Then he saw her. Maeve. Of course she was going to be here. Kestrel mentally kicked himself, as she waved at him. All he did was blush, and act like he didnt see her. THAT was smooth."

The militia is loyal to William, as he has worked with them and guided them in many battles, but the guilds and nobles find his laissez-faire attitude to be quite irritating.<br/><br/><em><strong>The Master of the Assassin's Guild</strong></em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 7pt;"">(Played by RyukaTana)</span><br/><em>Leader of the Assassin's Guild</em><br/><br/>The Master of Omneiro's Assassin's Guild is a mysterious figure with many rumors and secrets surrounding him.

Of course, like most places that make a claim like that, Omneiro is actually more of a dangerous, deceptive place. Omneiro boasts a large population, with the largest percentage being humans, followed closely by elves. There are few races that cannot be found somewhere in Omneiro, however.<br/><br/>Omneiro is ruled by King William Graham, though the Guilds would beg to differ. In truth, King William is really just the General of the Militia. He has final command of the military, which allows him to enforce any law he desires; otherwise, the council of the guilds’ leaders have control over the day-to-day goings on in the city. The guild leaders would prefer to revolt against the King, and dethrone him, giving them control of the military’s actions, and in turn, all of Omneiro.<br/><br/>The guilds are a major feature of Omneiro, having a tiered structure. The major guilds (listed below), each hold a place on the council, and keep the run of many smaller guilds related to their general purpose. Each of these guilds (except the Assassins’ Guild, but including the Thieves’ Guild) are legitimate and legal powers in the city, and are allowed to enforce laws within their own ranks, so long as they do not break any of the King’s laws regarding guild enforcement: for example, guilds are not allowed to enforce guild laws with capital punishment.<br/><br/>On top of this, the city is highly advanced, which has become a point of contention. Firearms are commonplace in the military (and the laws about private firearm use are ‘fuzzy’ at best). There are a few forms of air travel (airships, gliders, among others), and the famous Ring Force Vessel (the RFV for short), which has been criticized as highly dangerous. The Ring Force Vessel uses a system of tunnels created using fast revolving tunnels of force energy to propel a specially designed vessel extremely quickly through the city. The vessel is enchanted so that the effects of traveling at such a high speed have little effect on the people inside. The RFV has stops in every district (most multiple times) and special vessels will take important people to upper levels of major buildings throughout the city.<br/><br/>(The city is completely in development, and open-ended, so long as the ideas above and below are adhered to, players may run ideas about new areas, new guilds, or various other developments in the city through me.)<br/><br/><strong><em>Military</em></strong><br/><br/>King William is actually a skilled tactician and general, but is a poor leader and ruler. He enjoys his luxurious lifestyle, and so long as his laws are enforced, his city is not under siege, and the guilds know their place, he does very little. However, Omneiro prospers without his intervention, and as is often the case, the common people care nothing for who holds the titles and rules the land.<br/><br/>The military has a very simple ranking system, with Squires at the bottom, followed by Sergeants, then Lieutenants, and led by Captains (who are just under the King). Sergeants lead a small group of Squires (usually trained in a style similar to the Sergeant, with  few specialists of other styles to ensure variety) and one Ensign (a standard bearer). Squires who show certain potential can be taken as apprentices to Knights to become Knights themselves.<br/><br/>The militia is housed in the noble district (to provide ease of access to the part of the city ‘worth protecting’), but are generally treated as common folk otherwise. While a few ‘soldier taverns’ exist on the fringes of the noble district, the soldiers are expected to shop and entertain themselves in the same way as the normal citizens. This has not endeared them to the nobles, but most are loyal enough to the King to balance that particular issue. Most officers are known rather well by those that frequent their favorite taverns, shops, inns, and other places a soldier might visit when off-duty.<br/><br/><strong><em>Religious</em></strong><br/><br/>There is a large religious section in Omneiro, with at least a shrine, and often a great temple, dedicated to each of the world’s major deities. Of those gods, a few have a major influence in the city for various reasons.<br/><br/><em>Mechanus</em>has a large following, due to Omneiro’s dominating technological advancements. This faction is one of the few religious factions not particularly aggressive towards the new technological movement or the introduction of firearms.<br/><br/><em>Morgiana</em>has a rather large influence, which is one of the reasons the Thieves’ Guild operates ‘honorably’ and legally within the city.<br/><br/><em>Mercari</em>has a major influence in the city, as the city trades with almost every major city and kingdom in the world.<br/><br/><em>Twilight</em>has a great influence in many places in the world, as death is a major part of all societies. Here, Twilight actually trains special priests to investigate killings (often speaking to corpses and spirits and even animating the dead to dole out punishment).<br/><br/><em>Norga</em>has a rather large influence amongst the ‘savage races’ living in Omneiro, who are often forced to live in slum-like areas. More than one revolution has been started, if not brought to battle, in the name of the Savage Goddess.<br/><br/><strong><em>The Guilds</em></strong><br/>(The guilds listed here are major guilds, if you wish to design a minor guild that works within these guilds, such as a group known as the ‘<em>Sewer Rats</em>’ that works within the Thieves’ Guild, discuss it with me and we shall make note of it.)<br/><br/><em>Mercenary Guild</em>– The mercenary guild is a dangerous guild, and even the members of the main guild are often brutish and willing to put people in harm’s way simply for the coin.<br/><br/><em>Merchants’ Guild</em>– A less than pleasant guild, that, much like the mercenary guild, is really in it for the coin. The two guilds often work together, splitting shares, and using brute strength to enforce various trade ‘laws’ and deals.<br/><br/><em>Assassins’ Guild</em>– Though the assassins’ guild is not legal, it doesn’t mean that it has no influence in the council. The leader of the assassins’ guild is happy to sit in on meetings, in the open, and make decisions as if he were a legitimate guild leader. The guild is well-known, but if a newcomer were to ask about it on the street, everyone would conveniently forget about them.<br/><br/><em>Thieves’ Guild</em>–  The thieves’ guild is a legal guild, allowed to function within the city so long as they maintain their own activities and make donations and pay taxes. Essentially, should a guard capture a thief, and the thief is a member of one of the secondary guilds and can prove it, they can call in a representative to confirm their activities are sanctioned.<br/><br/><em>Mage’s Cabal</em><em>(Guild)</em>– The mages are a powerful force within the city, but are generally divided (as so many different schools of magic and schools of thought exist within the ranks of the guilds) on their decisions. The Archmage has a smaller council of his own which he often has in session while at guild meetings and can contact to get a decision for the entire mage’s cabal. Many mage guilds have risen, attempting to create a second mage’s guild to give different schools of thought more influence on decisions on a greater level. So far, none have succeeded in forming a larger guild.<br/><br/><em>Entertainers’ Guild</em>– The entertainers’ guild is one of the least corrupt, second only to the workmans’ guild, and, ironically, the thieves’ guild. They represent many forms of entertainment, from bards and minstrels, to whores and dancers, and cover even the peripheries such as playwrights and sometimes tavern owners.<br/><br/><em>Workmans’ Guild</em>– The largest, but simplest, guild, the workmans’ guild simply exists to ensure that the working people of Omneiro get a say in decisions. However, though it has the largest membership, it is often the most ignored amongst the guild leaders.<br/><br/><strong><em>City Features</em></strong><br/><br/><em>Druid’s Circle</em>– Just beyond the city limits is the Druid’s Circle, a group of rangers, druids, shamans, and other nature lovers who work with Omneiro’s officials to ensure that the natural lands around the city are not harmed or overly hunted/harvested.<br/><br/><em>Black Market</em>– The Black Market is one of the few places that is barely touched by the influence of the guilds, as it was formed to specifically bypass the laws, taxes, and restrictions of the merchants’ guild.<br/><br/><em>Savage Slums</em>– Some parts of the city are segregated, allowing orcs, goblins, ogres, and other such creatures, but forcing them to live in subpar conditions. Most of these races are granted full citizenship rights, but it doesn’t mean that they aren’t liable to be shot, even by guards, simply for leaving the slums.<br/><br/><strong><em>Places of Interest</em></strong><br/><em>(</em>These areas may have threads dedicated to them if the activity in that area is likely to be high.)<br/><em><br/>Lilith’s Sanctum</em>– One of the city’s most famous whore houses is also, in essence, a church of Lillith. It has played host to many beautiful and highly skilled prostitutes in the city. It works under the Whore’s Guild, charging 3sp for 15 minutes or 1gp for an hour with the ‘regular girls’. Private girls are allowed to set their own rates, and can be quite expensive (some even make house calls).<br/><br/><em>The Vorpal Blade (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=99482.0)</em>- A small, but notable, shop in the merchant's district, run by a dwarven blacksmith named Dolina. She is a skilled crafter and sells relatively powerful enchanted arms and armor.<br/><br/>(This is all subject to development and growth. If someone wishes to add a feature to the city, they may discuss it with me, and I will see about its addition, especially if there is a likelihood of it creating a storyline.)"

Bellona is a warrior, ever vigilant, believing that the purpose of the strong is to protect the good, and fight against evil. Bellona is the creator of the Archons, and a powerful figure in Celestia. Bellona encourages honorable principles, such as never striking a helpless opponent and never resorting to torture.

Dvallin is a creator, and forged the giants before other intelligent creatures (possibly before any creature) walked the Material Plane. He used elemental energy to empower them, but found he had no control over them, and most strayed from his path. So he created the dwarves, crafters after his own heart, and hid them in the mountains, where they would be safe from the giants.  Dvallin’s favored weapon is the Warhammer, and his domains include Artifice (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Artifice-Domain), Community (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Community-Domain), Earth (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Earth-Domain), Protection (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Protection-Domain) (Defense (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Defense)), Repose (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Repose-Domain) (Ancestors (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Ancestors)) and Strength (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Strength-Domain) (Resolve (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Resolve)).<br/><br/><em>Animus (Neutral Good)</em> – Animus is the God of Knowledge and Ancestry. While his general stance is neutrality, he believes in selflessly teaching others. Animus believes that the knowledge of all beings does not fade, and passes through families. He encourages the sharing of knowledge, teachings, and stories, and loves philosophical musings. Animus’s favored weapon is the Longsword, and his domains include Community (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Community-Domain) (Family (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Family)), Knowledge (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Knowledge-Domain), Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Magic-Domain), Repose (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Repose-Domain) (Ancestors (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Ancestors)), and Rune (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Rune-Domain).<br/><br/><em>Laventi (Neutral Good)</em> – Laventi is the Goddess of Love and Martyrdom. Laventi believes that giving of oneself out of love and empathy is the greatest good any person can do. She encourages her worshippers to give anything they have to others, and be willing to die for the greater good. She is not a fool, however, and does understand the need for one to take care of oneself, but insists that it be done with as little harm to those around, as possible. Most of Laventi’s worshippers are healers and do not eat meat. Laventi’s favored weapon is the Whip (though she is a pacifist), and her domains include Charm (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Charm-Domain) (Love (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Love)), Community (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Community-Domain) (Family (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Family)), Good (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Good-Domain) (Agathion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Agathion)), Healing (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Healing-Domain), Nobility (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Nobility-Domain) (Martyr (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Martyr)), and Protection (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Protection-Domain) (Purity (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Purity)).<br/><br/><em>Alberich (Chaotic Good)</em> – Alberich is the God of the Azata, the Elves, and Nature. Alberich is known as the sylvan god, ruling over the forests and the wilds, and created the Azata and creatures like Dryads to protect those places. Alberich is said to be the brother, or lover, or both, of Aluna. Alberich is also said to be closely connected to weather and the wind. Alberich’s favored weapon is the Longbow, and his domains include Air (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Air-Domain) (Wind (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Wind)), Animal (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Animal-Domain), Chaos (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Chaos-Domain) (Azata (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Azata-Chaos)), Good (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Good-Domain) (Agathion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Agathion), Azata (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Azata-Good)), Healing (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Healing-Domain) (Restoration (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Restoration)), Plant (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Plant-Domain) (Growth (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Growth)), and Weather (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Weather-Domain).<br/><br/><em>Tyche (Chaotic Good)</em> – Tyche the Goddess of Bravery, Liberation, Luck, and Halflings. Tyche is the mother of Halflings, and the Goddess of Luck. She encourages the idea of making ones’ own luck by taking risks, and created the Halflings with a similar spirit. Tyche’s favored weapon is the Sling, and her domains include Community (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Community-Domain), Glory (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Glory-Domain) (Heroism (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Heroism)), Good (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Good-Domain) (Agathion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Agathion), Azata (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Azata-Good)), Liberation (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Liberation-Domain), Luck (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Luck-Domain), and Travel (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Travel-Domain) (Exploration (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Exploration)).<br/><br/><em>Mechanus (Lawful Neutral)</em> – Mechanus is the God of Law, Order, Machines, and the Inevitables. Mechanus is a unwavering deity that believes that the law is a bond that cannot be broken. Mechanus created the Axiomites, and constructed the Inevitables. Mechanus also encourages innovation and the advancement of mechanics among mortals, which gives him a contentious relationship with many mages and priests, who believe the advancement of mechanics to be dangerous. Mechanus’s favored weapon is the Crossbow (any), and his domains include Artifice (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Artifice-Domain) (Construct (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Construct)), Law (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Law-Domain) (Inevitable (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Inevitable)), Rune (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Rune-Domain), and War (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-War-Domain) (Tactics (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Tactics)).<br/><br/><em>Mercari (Lawful Neutral)</em> – Mercari is the God of Trade, Merchants, Money, and the Mercane. Mercari hails from Eldritch, though it is rumored (particularly due to the visage of the Mercane) that he was once a genie, or connected to Iblis. Mercari does get along rather well with Iblis, and many genies do worship Mercari and become merchants. Mercari also created the oni (many of who revolted) as bodyguards of the Mercane; and later created the Witchwyrds, to have merchant creatures better capable of protecting themselves. Mercari’s favored weapon is the Falchion, and his domains include Artifice (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Artifice-Domain) (Construct (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Construct)), Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Magic-Domain) (Arcane (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Arcane)), Nobility (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Nobility-Domain) (Leadership (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Leadership)), Travel (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Travel-Domain) (Trade (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Trade)).<br/><br/><em>Morgiana (Lawful Neutral)</em> – Morgiana is the Goddess of Thieves. Morgiana holds true to the idea of honor among thieves, and believes that thieves are simply another creed among many. She believes that all thieves are part of a brotherhood, who must watch out for one another  to ensure their continued freedoms. She believes thieves should also be controlled, as greed can not only be harmful to the victims, but to the thief as well.

Drakhirm is not concerned with the various desires of the dragons and creatures he creates. His only goal seems to create more Dragons and draconic beasts, and encourages his children to procreate  in the same way. While the number of true Dragons is low, draconic beasts, half-dragons, and dragon-blooded humanoids are not uncommon by any means. Drakhirm lives in Khimia, which is the reason for the elemental energy within Dragons. Drakhirm’s favored weapon is a Dragon or Draconic creature’s Natural Weapons, and his domains include Destruction (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Destruction-Domain), Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Magic-Domain),  Scalykind (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Scalykind-Domain), and Strength (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Strength-Domain).<br/><br/><em>Iblis (True Neutral)</em> – Iblis is the God of Genies and the Elements, as well as the Plane of Khimia. Iblis is a strange deity, with four faces (Djinni, Efreeti, Marid, and Shaitan), and a temperament that changes very quickly. He is very powerful, capable of manipulating the elements. Iblis is said to be concerned with status (though not for the sake of law), and the nobles amongst each form of genie is granted special powers by Iblis for this (the most powerful being the Djinns’ famed three wishes, of which noble Shaitans are also capable). Iblis’s favored weapon is the Scimitar, and his domains include Air (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Air-Domain), Earth (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Earth-Domain), Fire (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Fire-Domain), </span><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: times new roman;"">Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Magic-Domain) (Arcane (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Arcane))</span><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: times new roman;"">, Nobility (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Nobility-Domain) (Leadership (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Leadership)), and Water (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Water-Domain).<br/><br/><em>Twilight (True Neutral)</em> – Twilight is the God of Death, Shadows, and the Undead. Hailing from the shadowy regions of Eldritch, in the realm of Purgatory; Twilight watches over ‘Petitioners’, souls of the dead awaiting final judgment. Twilight is also the God of the Undead, seeing them as merely a state between life and final death, at most. He argues that it is merely the mortal preoccupation with death as some evil or malevolent force that causes undead to be often twisted to evil deeds. Twilight’s favored weapon is the Kukri, and his domains include Darkness (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Darkness-Domain), Death (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Death-Domain), Healing (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Healing-Domain) (Resurrection (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Resurrection)), Knowledge (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Knowledge-Domain) (Memory (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Memory)), and Repose (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Repose-Domain).<br/><br/><em>Aluna (Chaotic Neutral)</em> – Aluna is the Goddess of the Moon, Madness, Lycanthropes, and Beasts.

Little is known about Enigma itself, but it stands that anything the Proteans desire, so too does Enigma.

She is a mercurial and violent deity, but not destructive (at least not purposefully). She is generally worshipped by aquatic races, and sometimes barbarians and druids that live near the Ocean. Typhoon’s favored weapon is the Earthbreaker, and her domains include Liberation (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Liberation-Domain) (Freedom (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Freedom)), Strength (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Strength-Domain), Water (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Water-Domain) (Ocean (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Oceans)), and Weather (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Weather-Domain) (Storms (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Storms)).<br/><br/><em>Mephistopheles (Lawful Evil)</em> – Mephistopheles is the God of Devils, Hell, Tyranny, and Corruption. Mephistopheles was once a great angel that fell from grace. He has become obsessed with deals and contracts, even working with Mechanus to ensure his contracts are truly binding. He wishes to claim as many souls as possible, and is willing to offer great power to those that desire it, in return for their souls, and usually with some kind of catch. Mephistopheles lives within the Tower of Nessus, in the realm of Hell in the plane of Thanatos. Mephistopheles’s favored weapon is the Spiked Chain, and his domains include Evil (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Evil-Domain) (Devil (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Devil-Evil)), Law (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Law-Domain) (Devil (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Devil-Law)), Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Magic-Domain), Rune (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Rune-Domain) (Language (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Language)), and Trickery (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Trickery-Domain) (Deception (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Deception)).<br/><br/><em>Astellar (Neutral Evil)</em> – Astellar is the God of the Sun and Light. Astellar believes in searing purification, killing those in the way if need be. Astellar created the Sun as a way to purge darkness, and nothing more. It has no real gender, and is the progenitor of the Shining Children. It is also the creator of the Bebiliths, hating demons more than anything, except undead. Astellar is a creature of Leng, and its true intentions are unknown, but its methods would be considered definitively evil by most. Astellar’s favored weapon is Morningstar (though it is presumed this was merely chosen by Astellar’s worshippers due to its name), and its domains include Fire (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Fire-Domain) (Ash (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Ash)), Madness (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Madness-Domain) (Insanity (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Insanity)), Magic (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Magic-Domain), and Sun (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Sun-Domain).<br/><br/><em>Apocalypse (Neutral Evil)</em> – Apocalypse is the God of Death, Daemons, and Evil. Apocalypse is the ruler of Thanatos, and specifically the realm of Gehenna. Apocalypse is the leader of the Four Horsemen, bringers of death: Szuriel, Horseman of War; Trelmarixian, Horseman of Famine; Apollyon, Horseman of Pestilience; and Charon, Horseman of Death. Apocalypse does not rule over the dead, but the actual act of dying itself, and seeks to bring about violent and sorrowful deaths. Apocalypse’s favored weapon is the Scythe, and his domains include Death (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Death-Domain) (Murder (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Murder)), Destruction (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Destruction-Domain) (Catastrophe (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Catastrophe)), Evil (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Evil-Domain) (Daemon (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Daemon)), and War (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-War-Domain) (Blood (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Blood)).<br/><br/><em>Lilith (Chaotic Evil)</em> – Lilith is the Goddess of Demons, Destruction, and Lust. Lilith is the most powerful being in the Abyss, and it is said she was once a mortal woman, tempted by lust and hate. Lilith may be the progenitor of demons, and is definitely the first Succubus. Lilith wants little more than lust and destruction, and loves to watch demons wreak havoc. Lilith’s favored weapon is the War Razor, and her domains include Chaos (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Chaos-Domain) (Demon (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Demon-Chaos)), Charm (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Charm-Domain) (Lust (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Lust)), Destruction (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Destruction-Domain), Evil (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Evil-Domain) (Demon (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Demon-Evil)), Madness (http://elliquiy.com/forums/Madness), and Trickery (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Trickery-Domain) (Deception (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Deception)).<br/><br/><em>Norga (Chaotic Evil)</em> – Norga is the Goddess of the Savage races, Fertility, Revolution, and Slaughter. Norga is said to be the mother of the orcs, ogres, goblins, gnolls, and trolls (and other similar creatures). She vilifies the demi-human races as opressors, and encourages violent revolution. Of course, she was no less violent before the birth of her ‘children’, and so, it was her very nature that drove those races to be violent (and in turn, hated) in the first place. Norga’s favored weapon is the Greataxe, and her domains include Destruction (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Destruction-Domain) (Rage (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Rage)), Liberation (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Liberation-Domain) (Revolution (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Revolution)), Strength (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Strength-Domain) (Ferocity (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Ferocity)), and War (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-War-Domain) (Blood (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Blood)).<br/><br/><em>Puck (Chaotic Evil)</em> – Puck is the God of Trickery, Mischief, Trickster Fey, and Gnomes. Puck is the father (or possibly mother, or neuter) of many Fey creatures, including Satyrs and Nymphs, as well as many dark fey and Gnomes and their related ilk (Spriggans, Svirfneblin, and the like). He is an uncaring god, who simply takes pleasure in mischief and trickery, regardless of the cost to the victim. Most gnomes do not worship Puck, finding his complete disregard for consequences regrettable, but many do pay him lip service as a trickster. Puck’s favored weapon is the Starknife, and his domains include Animal (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Animal-Domain), Charm (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Charm-Domain) (Lust (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Lust)), Luck (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Luck-Domain), Plant (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Plant-Domain) (Decay (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Decay)), and Trickery (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Trickery-Domain).<br/><br/><em>The Eye</em> – The Eye is the God of Aberrations and controller of the unknowable plane of Leng. No mortals can truly understand The Eye, but his worshippers do know that his intentions for the Material Plane are to twist all creatures into Aberrations (reflected in creatures such as the great Jabberwocks, twisted reflections of Drakhirm’s dragons). The Eye has no Favored Weapon and no true alignment (his worshippers are usually within one step of Chaotic Evil, as they accept his desire to twist the world into aberrations); but his domains are Darkness (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Darkness-Domain) (Loss (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Loss)), Destruction (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Destruction-Domain) (Catastrophe (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#SD-Catastrophe)), and Madness (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/domains#TOC-Madness-Domain).</span></span></span>"

There are only a few planes, but they are divided up into domains, continents, countries, or whatever the denizens of the planes would like to call the various sections.<br/><br/><em>Celestia</em>– Celestia is the heavenly realm of Good, home of the Archons, Agathions, and Azata, and realm of the Angels. Its individual areas are known as Domains, and are generally run by gods, while the area in between is usually maintained by the Angelic Host, servants of all Good. Celestial beings are usually capable of flight or teleportation, as Celestia is light and airy, and only within Domains is there any actual land.<br/><br/><em>Thanatos</em>– Thanatos is the opposition of Celestia, the dark, deadly realm of the Daemons, and home to Devils and Demons. Apocalypse rules over Thanatos, from his home in the realm of Gehenna. Across the barren wastes of Thanatos, the Blood War is fought, between the Devils of Mephistopheles’s Hell and the Demons of Lilith’s Abyss. Occasionally, the Daemons (along with their leaders, Apocalypse’s Four Horsemen) reign in the battles, or simply add to the slaughter.<br/><br/><em>Eldritch</em>– A strange realm that is said to be the core of all the planes, and the origin of Arcane magic. Eldritch is a strange place, seeming to be a true ‘world’, but chaotic in nature. There are many continents (some say they continue to span and manifest in an cycle of creation and destruction that goes on forever), and on them walk the Fey, the creatures of Shadow, the Astral and Ethereal entities, and many other creatures. At its center is Purgatory, the Realm of Twilight, and home of the Petitioners, those who have died and are waiting for their final judgment.<br/><br/><em>Khimia </em>– Khimia is the elemental plane, and the realm of the genies. The realm is ruled by Iblis, God of the Genies and the Elements, and is a plane of constant movement. Fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, and other elements and mixed elements blend, bound, and shift throughout the entire plane.<br/><br/><em>Leng</em>– Leng is a strange plane that cannot be pinned down and is ruled by a deific creature known as ‘The Eye’. While Eldritch is chaotic and vast, it can be understood. Leng, however, is home to Aberrations, alien creatures whose intentions cannot be truly understood. Not all Aberrations come from Leng, and some of the creatures from Leng are slightly less alien, but that only makes the plane even more confusing.<br/>"

In most cases, someone can exchange crossbows for guns when referring to Class Features; in this case, the character does not gain the benefits to crossbows.<br/><br/>(OOC Note: For those of you in that camp of how deadly guns are, remember that a crossbow can kill a person in real life as well, and all things considered, translating real people in DnD, we’re all low-level characters who probably have 10-20 hit points at most. So guns, particularly the low-tech sort, aren’t terribly more powerful weapons than any other, especially in the hands of a skilled warrior.)<br/><br/><em>One-Handed Guns</em><br/>Light Pistol (200gp) – 1d8 damage, Range 50ft., x3 Critical, Piercing damage (Weight: 3lb.)<br/>--Requires a Move Action to Reload, Light Pistol Bullets (5) for 5gp, counts as a Light Weapon<br/><br/>Heavy Pistol (300gp) – 1d10 damage, Range 60ft., x3 Critical, Piercing damage (Weight: 5lb.)<br/>--Requires a Move Action to Reload, Heavy Pistol Bullets (5) for 10gp<br/><br/><em>Two-Handed Guns</em><br/>Rifle (500gp) – 2d6 damage, Range 140ft., x3 Critical, Piercing damage (Weight: 12lb.)<br/>--Requires a Move Action to Reload, Rifle Bullet (5) for 20gp<br/><br/>All guns make a notable amount of noise when fired, and will force the wielder to make a Stealth check at -30 to remain hidden while firing (including the Stealth penalty already incurred).

If the user fires this way when not enough bullets are available, they will fire until there are no bullets left in the clip/cylinder/magazine, at which point, the action ends.</em><br/><br/>Accurizing Modifications – Iron sights, grip improvements, stock improvements, and specially designed parts reduce recoil and improve grip to increase accuracy, granting a +1 or +2 bonus to attack rolls with the gun, this modification is permanent (Cost: +2,500gp for a +1 bonus, +5,000gp for a +2 bonus; Craft DC 25 for +1, DC 35 for +2)<br/><br/>Master-crafted Barrel – Barrel Modification, this modification is permanent, the barrel is crafted with skill (and usually some magical alterations) and lengthened to make shots more precise, which gives the gun a 19-20 critical range (Cost: +4,000gp; Craft DC 30 to attach)<br/><br/>Pistol Clip – Light Pistol only, the gun holds a number of shots that can be fired before needing to be reloaded, reloading a clip is a Standard Action (Move with Rapid Reload), the gun can still be reloaded normally, and reloading a full clip with individual bullets takes longer than a Full-Round Action (Cost: 8-shot Clip, +1,000gp; 10-shot Clip, +1,250gp; Craft DC 25 to attach; an 8-shot Clip costs 40gp, and a 10-shot Clip costs 50gp)<br/><br/>Revolver Cylinder – Heavy Pistol only, the gun holds a number of shots that can be fired before needing to be reloaded, reloading a cylinder is a Full-Round action (Standard with Rapid Reload) (Cost: 5-shot Cylinder, +1,000gp; 6-shot Cylinder, +1,200gp; Craft DC 25 to attach; once cylinder is attached, Moon Clips can be bought to reduce the reload time to a Move Action (Swift with Rapid Reload), a 5-shot Moon clip costs 50gp, and a 6-shot Moon clip costs 60gp)<br/><br/>Rifle Magazine – Rifle Only, the gun holds a number of shots that can be fired before needing to be reloaded, reloading a magazine is a Standard Action (Move with Rapid Reload), the gun can still be reloaded normally, and reloading a full Rifle Magazine with individual bullets takes longer than a Full-Round Action for a 5-Shot Magazine (Cost: 3-shot Magazine, +800gp; 5-shot Magazine, +1,250gp; a 3-shot Magazine costs 30gp, and a 5-shot Magazine costs 50gp; Craft DC 25 to attach)<br/><br/>Scope – Rifle only, as long as a character has a chance to line up a shot (make a single shot as a full-round action), the character has only a -1 penalty per range increment (Cost: +250gp; Craft DC 15 to attach)<br/><br/>Silencer – Barrel Modification (magical), the gun reduces the penalty while Sniping to -10 or -5 (Cost: +1,200gp for a -10 penalty, +2,000gp for a -5 penalty; Craft DC 20 to attach)"

Both her parents were international trade lawyers who were more comfortable in the office than at home. She grew up like most american kids: TV, Computers, Video Games and comic books. She also discovered cosplay when she went to Japan to visit family. Upon her return to San Diego she jumped into the scene with vigor, found the PERFECT character for her to play at the upcoming San Diego ComicCon.<br/>Working with a couple friends, she worked to get the green and black leather jump suit to fit and grew out here hair. All it took was a little make up, black lipstick and fingernail polish and she was a popular disney villainess. The week of the Con, she went in role several times and hammed things up a lot. At one party she was more than a little drunk and high went SOMETHING happened as she was playing out a scene. Maybe it was some unknown talent, maybe she was doing something more than X. All that she knew was that as they were playing out a scene and the next her 'foe' was looking in shock at the six inch hole that she had blown in the concrete wall of the hall. The whole event had been caught by dozens of cameras, camcorders and the crew from g4 TV. She bolted from the hall and quickly lost most of the stun crowd quickly.<br/>The aftermath of the event was pretty much that she was 'outed' as a parahuman and a quick letter from Disney's lawyers to cease and desist all future cosplay performances as that character. (Unless their live action project ever took off, in which they would like to discuss terms). Aside from that, the most signifigant changes had been a gain of 60 pounds of mass and the loss of nearly all her body fat as her body rapidly improved in physical resilience, strength, endurance and agility. She was stunned to find herself changing from 'comic book nerd' to 'hottie' overnight. With her new looks and ability she started looking into acting as a viable option and tries to downplay her powers as much as she can. One close encounter with an anti-parahuman activist drove home that she needed to learn to how to defend herself without using her powers. (Her blasts are registered as 'lethal weapons' and she had been fully briefed on the consequences of their use recklessly). Currently in addition to dance and acting studies in college, she is studying akido and kick boxing as she looks for more jobs as a model.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/>Going from a bit of a 'geek' to a hottie has opened up Reon a lot. She is enjoying a more physical lifestyle and looks for more physical and social challenges. She works hard, studies hard and plays hard. She hasn't done any drugs since the incident but still drinks on occasion and is a casual bi-sexual who isn't steady with anyone at the moment. When she does have to fight, she uses her agility and blasting power to avoid, escape and distract her foes as she would rather not kill. When facing someone who can hurt her, she is a less reluctant to use her abilities more offensively.<br/><br/><strong>Powers</strong><br/>Reon generates an intense field of plasma in her body that she can direct though her hands or envelop them with. She is capable of generating sufficient force destroy concrete and metal structures. The field is stronger when she channels it in a blast. When she generates the plasma, her eyes turn green with a slight glow.<br/>As a result of her energy generating abilites, her body has increased in density and resilience. She is capable of taking serious blows and even gunshots hits with little or no harm. (She was shot in the back twice by the anti-parahuman activist from 30 feet with a .45 caliber pistol with nothing worse than bruising. Needless to say she's not eager to test the limits of her invulnerability). Testing has indicated that her physical attributes and resilance are increasing at pace with her ability to generate plasma but to what degree is not known.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Totals: </strong>Abilities 22 + Skills 10 (40 ranks) + Feats 11 + Powers 15 + Combat 16 + Saves 16 + Drawbacks 0 = 90"

an infant of exceptional potential.  Not wanting to execute or imprison a child, the girl was handed over to Miranda and Samuel Carmichael, two FBI agents recently retired from field work, both with nigh-legendary records in dealing with supercrime.  They'd always wanted a daughter, but between fertility and their careers, they were never able to have one of their own.  With their experience, they were the only people the government could trust to raise this child safely.<br/><br/>They were equipped to monitor, resist, and counter their new daughter Samantha's powers, and raised her with tight discipline and rigid honor, always aiming her towards law enforcement, where her powers could be a massive legal complication.  By all appearances, they've succeeded; their daughter is joining supercriminal investigations fresh out of college.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Samantha is, to all appearances, a very straightlaced and charming young lady, and her mental influence reinforces that appearance whenever it is desirable.  She is fully commited to her new duties as an officer of the law, having worked long and hard to get where she is today.  However, despite her parents best efforts to the contrary, she still has a strong streak of arrogance, often seeing those who lack her mental abilities as fun toys to watch and manipulate.  When she thinks she's untouchable, her nature becomes more impish, mining people's minds for juicy gossip or manipulating them for her own amusement.  She feels horrible about it afterward, of course, but it's just too much fun.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/>She can kill you with her brain.  But that would probably end with her parents returning to the field, hunting her down, and arresting her or even killing her, so she tends towards less gruesome methods.  Her abilities are quite broad, allowing her to control, disable, or scan the minds of others, as well as influence the opinions of others- something she does constantly, as naturally as breathing.  She also has limited telekinetic abilities, which she uses both offensively and defensively.<br/><br/><strong>Complications:</strong><br/><em>Enemy:</em> Samantha's pedigree and abilities make her extremely valuable to the Cult of the Third Eye, and her loss is a grave embarassment to them.  They are willing to go to great lengths to get her back<br/><em>Obsession:</em> Secrets.  Samantha is not above using her powers to get her hands on information she's not supposed to have, even if it's a very bad idea to do so.<br/><em>Obsession:</em> Taking a target down is not enough.  Even when a foe is beaten, and even when it's a very bad idea, Samantha often feels compelled to go that extra mile and use her powers to utterly humiliate her enemies in whatever way she feels is appropriate.  This doesn't make her many friends.<br/><br/>Totals: Abilities 12 + Skills 7 (28 ranks) + Feats 3 + Powers 51 + Combat 4 + Saves 13 + Drawbacks 0 = 90</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>"

Though this changes while he's on the job. When on the job he is a stark, angry, snark driven commentator who will verbally assail anyone who dares get in his way; and this is usually before he pummels them into a pulp! Well, truth be told this violent way is more or less his attempt to be a 'Gumshoe'… It apparently works.<br/><strong><br/>History</strong><br/><br/>This monster was 'born' in 1856 in a laboratory in the middle of the south; a way of creating slaves who were both powerful and more useful for field work with enough intellect to work alone but not enough to escape. The cotton gin was completed first and the project was left at a standstill. The body complete and the mind there, but no wakefulness. As the years passed and the Civil War came about, the then President of the Confederacy enacted 'Project Patchwork'. With the body now bare-bones thanks to rot; the now protoform was improved upon! Meant to shoulder an Artillery Piece as a standard weapon and fully capable of reacting to situations with a tactical mind of a well trained officer; the beast was to be a victory piece for the South!<br/><br/>And with his staggaring nine-foot height, he was to be deployed where the south would be able to RIDE to victory! As history states that didn't happen. The Union won. With some help at a major turning point as the 'Artillary Man' himself turned on his own forces to decimate them enough to allow a CRUSHING Union Victory. And at that point, the 'Giant of Antietam' dropped off the Radar for many, many years.<br/><br/>The fact he dropped off the radar for so long and coupled with reports of a 'Giant' stopping various attacks upon people and then disappearing again coincided with the fact there are many super natural entities in the Americas.

accent.  Her powers emerged after a traumatic accident while skin-diving offshore in the Gulf as a teenager-- an undersea explosion of unknown origin left her deafened, comatose, and half-drowned.  Her recovery brought her family and town a flash of public attention, with tv shows and newspapers reporting her survival as a ""miracle"".  The media attention and monetary support conincided with her abusive father's ""born-again"" conversion to faith, and within a year he became a highly-recognized pastor at a mega-church in St. Petersburg... he now has a radio show, a weekly special, and a network of evangelistic 'projects' that happen to afford him an eight-figure house.  Katie still won't speak to him or accept his money because she doesn't truly believe his self-proclaimed salvation is any more than a ploy for fortune and a cover for his perverted alter-ego... but by the time she was sixteen she was fully aware that she was very, very different from everyone else.<br/><br/>After her recovery, she returned to her high-school a half-year behind her class.  Normally a C-D student, she suddenly seemed to possess an internal drive to succeed, and while her grades were not stellar, her dedication helped her graduate on time (she suddenly found it easier to finish her reading assignments, complete projects... she was no genius, but her homework took her half the time it took her friends...)  She discovered her 'bursts' of speed by accident by quietly experimenting on her own.  Now, Katie's a full-time college student, living on her Pell Grant and meager academic scholarship in a dorm room.  The best part: free food, board, and use of the gym.  The worst?  Her roommate seems to think she's party-hard white trash thanks to her alternate-identity.  She's studying history, seeming to believe that there's some kind of trend to be identified in understanding the past to pinpoint why things in society have gone to shit, why superheroes and villains are emerging, and how to alter the world she knows."

Tears burned in his eyes as he stalked up to his own bedroom to stare at pictures of himself and his mother from happier days.<br/>Then he turned to his computer to look up articles on his mother before her retirement.<br/>She was called the Tawny Blur when she streaked down the streets of New York fighting crime as a fur clad cheetah girl.  Her friends in the hero community called her Purr, which got out too the fans and she didn’t stop from sticking.  Will had never dug deeper than that.<br/>Now he did.  The internet made it frighteningly easy.  It was a popular topic of scandalous photos and worse adolescent fiction, the time when the innocent heroine had become beguiled by her arch nemesis Mordred deMagus.  In the months she spent as henchgirl to the World’s Mightiest Evil Sorcerer, she became pregnant, but the Blur escaped his hypnotic enchantments in time to throw deMagus into his own portal before Horrible Creatures from Beyond Infinity could Eat New York.<br/>As his numb fingers flew over the keyboard, revealing truth after ugly truth, Will found that this whole horrible time happened a few months after the loss of Tawny’s father.<br/>He found the incident now.  A year earlier, an extra-terrestrial’s ship had crash landed and was suffering a core breach that threatened to irradiate Wyoming.   The repairs, the ship’s telepath explained, would take hours.  A super speedster—a cheetah-shifter--arrived at the scene and demanded that the telepath guide him through the procedure.  Though they succeeded, the speedster died of cancer within a year.<br/><br/>His grandfather, Wilson Laslow.<br/><br/>Wilson crawled into bed with his mother that night and she held him as he cried himself too sleep, gasping apologies.   He never answered to Will again.<br/><br/>Determined to follow in the family tradition, Wilson redoubled his efforts in school and athletics, but he still played video games with his mother and RPGs with some friends.  One day he came across a box of his father’s affects mothballed in a friend’s parent’s secret lair where they were gaming, using the hollo-table for a miniatures grid.<br/>Digging around, he located a bunch of things that didn’t make sense, but one thing to cool to leave.  An ancient icosahedron numbered 1 to 20 carved of bronze.<br/>Three days later, he dug it out of his pocket on the way back from school.  Becoming so engrossed in the artifact that he wasn’t quick enough to dive for cover when the latest super-skirmish came through, he caught a zot!  Wilson found his hair standing on end and power surging out of the ancient d20 and into his body.<br/>Wilson spread his arms, lifted into the air, and then the bronze embed in his forehead and was gone.  When he woke up in the hospital, there was no sign of it.  He spent the next few weeks dreaming of a book written in Greek, that he could somehow read.<br/>At the library a few weeks later he realized the copy of the Odyssey he was reading was not a translation!  The revelation that he could read Ancient Greek caused him to search out more books in that language.  Finally his search read him to close his eyes.<br/>The eye on his forehead opened.  The one that was basically a tattoo of an eye with a tiny bronze 20 sided dice for a pupil.<br/>In this fashion, he could see a book.  It proved too be the Grimorum Pythagorium, a comprehensive book of spells written by the founder of western geometry!  By studying it, he could eventually learn to do almost anything, including make talismans that would keep him on par with super-gazetteers, provided he had a steady supply of numbered perfect polyhedrons in various colors.<br/>The Polyhedral Prestidigitator was born!<br/><br/><br/>Numbered Perfect Polyhedron's of Universal Tincture<br/><br/>(http://www.reapersrevenge.co.uk/Images/Chessex/Gemini/Gemini%20Purple-Steel.jpg)<br/><br/>--This one color pattern of gaming dice works for any spell, though the expropriate dice types are still required."

of Sorcerers was to take place in Pasadena, at a convention of Pentecostals of all places.  Linwood thought it was about as good of an opportunity as he would get to find any information about his sister’s abduction.  Ever since he left home, he has been on the hunt after that damn demon.  He didn’t even know it’s name.  Linwood had traversed all across the country investigating missing children cases.  Using his abilities, he had even managed to reunite a few children with their families every once in a while.  With each face on the back of a milk carton, he envisioned his sister, Kelly and he felt the pain of losing her all over again.  It never got old.  It never dulled.<br/><br/>Linwoood’s old pickup squealed in protest as it slowed to a stop at some sleazy highway motel just outside of Pasadena.  He slammed the door shut and reached into the bed of the truck and retrieved a backpack.  Slinging the tattered old sack over his shoulder he made his way in to the office.  The fluorescent lights flickered when the office door slammed shut.  An old lady sat in front of an equally old television watching re-runs of ‘Mama’s Family’.  “Ah’ll take a room please ma’am.”  Linwood said as he dug out his wallet.  The old woman got up from her seat, and with a hunched over waddle she painstakingly made her way to the counter.  She grabbed a clipboard from under the counter and tossed it down in front of Linwood.  “Sign your name and that’ll be $30.  Air’s broke, don’t use the microwave, and flush twice.” She said as Linwood finished signing the waiver.  The old hag tossed a key on the counter and returned to her antiquated television without another word.<br/><br/>Inside the room a few cockroaches scurried from under the intruder’s feet and even more scrambled for cover when he flicked the light switch.  Snorting with discontent, Linwood locked the door behind him and got ready for bed.  When he saw the condition of the shower, Linwood opted to birdbath out of the sink.  It was probably safer.  After he was done cleansing himself, Linwood turned on the TV and adjusted the volume so it would be audible outside the room.  The noise was a necessity to mask his sleep talking from any passers by.  Linwood hoped that he would sleep peacefully this evening, but that was more often than not a rare event.  He laid on the uncomfortable bed and drifted away into The Dream.<br/><br/>It was immediately apparent, this dream wasn’t his.  Linwood was standing at the top of a brilliantly green hill.  All around him, exact twins of the hill he was standing on rolled out to the horizon in every direction.  Mist collected in the valleys making it impossible to see where one hill ended and the next began.  Titanium white with butter accentuations, the thick fluffy clouds floated just above his head closely resembling floating islands of mashed potatoes.  If he were to jump and reach, he could touch them.  Linwood was dressed in the shining armor of his childhood dreams.  His hand gripped a golden sword, his other hand held a sturdy shield.  This was the dream he and Kelly visited when they were kids.  The Dream where she was taken from him.  ‘There should be a castle somewhere’ he said to himself aloud as he spun around scanning the horizon.<br/><br/>Linwood was disheartened when he failed to find the fortress of his childhood.  He half expected and half hoped that his sister would be waiting for him in the tallest tower of the castle.  Just as he dismissed the thought, he heard a voice.  Faint, as if it were carried on the wind, feminine, and familiar.  He wheeled around to face the direction he heard the voice originate from.  He narrowed his eyes to sharpen his vision and he scanned the hillsides once more finding nothing.  Again the voice called out to him, this time it was clear that the voice was saying his name.  Calling him.<br/><br/>“Where are you!?” he screamed to the heavens.  As he screamed upwards, he saw a tower in a cloud momentarily before it was concealed by a passing cloud.  Just as the cloud passed and the tower came into view again, the sky darkened and the clouds turned black.  Plump raindrops began to splatter against Linwood’s armor causing it to tarnish and rust away on contact.   From high in the tower, her voice followed the raindrops it seemed much closer, like the voice was right next to him.  “Linwood, you came for me!” the voice sounded more mature now, but it was unmistakably Kelly’s.  “Behind you, look out!”<br/><br/>Linwood turned in time to see a massive dragon, black and terrible land abruptly just feet away from where he stood.  The creature examined him through obsidian eyes and then it flapped it’s enormous bat like wings.  The mighty gust sent Linwood sprawling off his feet.  “She is mine!” The dragon roared as it reared back it’s head and spewed liquid flame at Linwood.  Milliseconds before he was engulfed in the flames, Linwood willed himself to wake up.<br/><br/>In the sleazy motel room he lay in a pool of sweat and gathered his thoughts.  After years of searching, haphazardly he found her.  How? He didn’t know.  But, he knew she was alive.<br/>"

In the northern sky, great clouds of ice and mist blotted out the stars like some frozen army advancing down onto the world. To the west, fire and smog rose from the ground to strike the heavens. Spires of lightning and fierce, roaring thunder erupted from the east, and a foul stench of rot and decay drifted out of the south. Directly overhead, the moon seemed to turn its face and laugh pitilessly at the chaos unfolding below its endless sight.<br/><br/>In an open field, the shadow of a figure flickered in the taunting moonlight and twisted to take in the surrounding onslaught. A broken sword lay in pieces at its feet, the shards glinting with the dying shine of shattered hopes.

He clutched at his throat and patted his chest, ensuring that yes, he was in one piece, and he blinked away the small tears that had been threatened to spill in his sleep. With a shaking hand, he reached down into one of the deep drawers of his desk and withdrew a copper flask filled with whiskey, and a pair of candy bars. He tore open one of the treats with his teeth and scarfed it down, barely bothering to chew it before unscrewing the flask's top and bolting a mouthful of fine blended Scotch.<br/><br/>He forced himself to focus for a moment on the simple mechanics of chewing and swallowing, his heart rate slowly returning to below the speed limit, and leaned back in his chair with one arm draped over his face. When he was certain he could again form a coherent sentence, he reached for the old rotary phone on his desk and dug a battered phone book from beneath a pile of rumpled and stained papers. His fingers only trembled slightly as he hooked the heavy wheel around and around, the soft click-clicking seeming to fill the room as he dialed.<br/><br/>""Um, hello...American Air? Yes...I, er, I'd like to book a ticket--I mean, I'd like to buy a seat--uh, I mean...look, I need to get to Pasadena...y-yes, California...No, no, I mean as soon as possible...tomorrow morning?

Bye.""<br/><br/>With a deep breath, Ethan hung up the phone and fell back into his chair, feeling a unique blend of exasperation and personal pride. He eyed the small card sitting on one corner of the old roll-top, a fancy gilded number with his name in crimson text. '<em>Alright. I've got my invitation, and I've got a ticket to get there. Hard part's over. Now I just have to worry about what might or might not be the end of the worlds...</em>'"

Had she been living, she would have trembled and shivered, seen the fog of her breath on the night air, felt the erection of her delicate nipples in response to the cold. But she is not alive or experiencing these things; she quietly disrobes as Elisabeth fills her private bathing tub with steaming hot water.</span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">Her eyes linger over Elisabeth’s frame. The servant is young, strong—better muscled than Bridget herself was able to become in her time at the monastery. Her sleeves rolled up to allow her to pour the heated water into the tub, Elisabeth is oblivious to Bridget’s gaze as she mops her forehead with the back of her hand and turns back to the chapel’s kitchen for another bucket of warm water. Watching Elisabeth’s stride, the sway of her hips, Bridget’s mind turns to the not far distant past.</span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">Her mind in a fog of memory, Bridget glides over to her tub, and delicately slips one foot and then the other into the warm bath. The pallor of her skin does not change in the heat of the water as it once had, and sinking into the tub, allowing the heat to slowly work its way into her benumbed body, Bridget recalls with a smile the bustle of the monastic bath house. The sisters and novices used a row of six baths. </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">One of her favorite duties had been to help bathe the noble women, either those who were there solely for pre-marriage education or the widows who had taken vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience in their post-married life. The work that Elisabeth was doing now had always been invigorating for Bridget. It made Bridget sweat and feel the pull of her muscles, but there was always something mysteriously wonderful about the ladies’ bath day. Perhaps because they were allowed to perfume their water the way the oblates and full sisters were not.</span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">The air in the bath house would be thick with steam, clammy with the scent of lavender and full of women’s bodies. Some young ladies, some older. Each of these held their treasures. Bridget wondered at the widows’ bodies; most of them did not have the perfectly rounded breasts and slender thighs of the younger nobility. Their nipples tended toward dusky rose hues, and their bodies all had a greater roundness about them. Yet these older women knew the pleasure of carrying a child within their wombs, just as Mary had carried Christ. </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">The young ladies’ bodies filled Bridget with a giddiness she didn’t fully understand, and perhaps still does not fully understand. Their nakedness, their tender flesh, suggested the form of angels to Bridget. She could imagine nothing more beautiful than Fraulein Hadewijch reclining in her tub or pressing a towel gently to her delicate skin, soaking up the moisture of the bath from her be-pinked flesh:</span>(http://www.modelsblog.info/content/2010/11/Natalia-Vodianova-7.JPG)<br/>(http://www.area-59.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/natalia-vodianova-hot-wallpaper-07_thumb.jpg)<br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">Bridget was responsible for gathering the towels and clothing from the bath house as well. Though all the ladies would have been gone by then, their curving hips long since slipping beneath their woolen habits, their hair carefully tucked away beneath wimples, Bridget would sometimes linger with her pile of fabrics. They were full of the smell of lavender and something else—something delicate and feminine and that Bridget was at a loss to define. This scent always helped her to remember the passage of the bathing time for the given day. What loveliness had she witnessed? What more proof of God’s omnipotence could one need than the sight of a full, creamy breast, half hidden by flowing locks of amber hair? These days always made her feel best about humanity; how could such grace or beauty be fallen? Be a mark of temptation? Surely Fraulein Hadewijch was nothing if not made in the image of God. Yet she knew the faults of these undisciplined theological meanderings, and later in the week, when she was stern at her prayers of deep in contemplation, she recognized the frailty of her thoughts. Despite this realization though, the bath house always brought such susurrations, such whispers about the divinity of man, nay of woman.</span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">The sound of water pouring into her tub rouses Bridget back to the present, calls her attention to Elisabeth again. With more water in the tub, Bridget sinks down into the water, letting her eyes slip shut the way she remembers the eyes of Fraulein Hadewijch slipping closed. Moments later Elisabeth is massaging at Bridget’s cool flesh, working more heat from the water into her body, and tracing circular patterns over her calves, her fuller thighs, the softness of her belly. Leaning forward, Bridget lets her back be scrubbed and thinks of the angelic Hadewijch, wondering if the Fraulein has since been married, has been seen and touched by more than just girls’ hands. She wonders if those hands are half as gentle as Bridget’s had been with the Fraulein: the delicate massage of the lady’s small breasts, the gentle rubbing at her silken sex. </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">The mysteries of men and some women’s attraction to them have remained a mystery to Bridget. She remembers her father, bearded and tall, strong. Her brothers were merely boys when she was taken to the monastery where her only contact with men came at communion and meals when Abba Heinrich—with corpulent frame and tonsured head—graced the sisters with his presence. Surely Abba Heinrich was to be admired for his learning, but she found him, like most men, altogether emotionally uninspiring.</span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> </span><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">Her grandsire, Venantius, had been kind in his looking after her, that was to be sure. Yet she beheld him with only a terrible fear, and yet she knew she must speak to him soon in order to acquire his help for her travels. She would need horses, palfreys at the least, and supplies for her journey. These thoughts buzz around in Bridget’s mind as she exits from the tub, dripping, and allows Elisabeth to dry her before wrapping herself in a warmed garment. </span>"

A line of other captives is chained to a large stake driven into the ground nearby. Two men stand guard over them. Several people stand before the platform; a few call out bids. Torches illuminate the stage, but leave most of the crowd and nearby streets in shadow. Some members of the crowd appear to be little more than brigands - heavily armed, wild-looking men drawn from the nearby taverns to watch the entertainment. A few look as though they might be merchants in search of slaces to help in the workplace.

Standing there you see a group of figures.<br/><br/>The first one you recongise immediately - the richly dressed pale man from the slave auction. The second is of medium stature and build. He has light brown hair and pale pale blue eyes. He's wearing finely made though not ostentatious clothing, and the observant amongst you will notice he's wearing but a single jeweled ring.

Well at least until the zealots’ or whoever they were caught her attention.<br/><br/>This was pretty difficult…but that was the way of a child of Raven, it was not handed on a platter. Already her patron had contacted her and it was hardly likely to make an appearance in public, so it looked like or seemed apparent that the runaway slave and the loons with voices ….many voices may have to be on a waiting list…<br/><br/>Well maybe on the waiting list…damn but there was so much to take in and priorities had to be made.  Gisella took to the air then, and decided to search for the woman, at least to know where she was so she might offer food and a blanket. Well that and find out what she was, no one else needed to know that…<br/><br/>However, the best made plans … the spirit had merely gestured mentally in the direction of the others that appeared to be gathering, after all it was unable to appear as the other sires did.

Thus she sort of loitered kicking up a little dust. However her sharp eyes were ever vigilant.

Your sires have assured me that you will be happy to assist in our endeavours and in doing so earn yourselves  a comfortable future. We wish for you to travel to the eastern border of Hungary, to the region known as 'The Land Beyond the Forest' - Transylvania. There, high in the Carpathian mountains, beyond the city of Bistriz, lies a natural gateway called Tihuta Pass. Our request is simple, but it is one that needs to be carried out by trusted hands. It is this: travel to the Tihuta Pass and erect a fortress there to guard this important trade route. You are of course right that mere trade is not something that would or should normally require such powerful agents to acquire. We each have our own reasons for sending you and it is for your sires to tell your theirs. My own is that it will solidify Hungary's claim to this land, will secure the dominance of Buda and Pest on this remote land, and will bring order to a chaotic but prosperous land.""<br/><br/>""I am of course not expecting you to build such a thing by hand. I am willing to advance to you certain sums of money to cover the cost of hiring guards, workers and the like. My allies assure me that you are resourceful childer and that you will have enough skill and sense to complete the work yourselves. Since you are taking charge of the lands and nearby villages, you will have the right to tax the peasantry and use their labour as well. There are also certain caravans that make us of the pass. Luckily, the foundation is already in place, as an old wooden tower once stood there. You should be able to use the stone foundations as your first step. We shall expect you to have the first floor, at least, completed in time for winter.""<br/><br/>""There is one further thing - a personal favour that I would ask of you. It has been rumoured that among the ruins of the tower, there might be some old writings - documents or tablets in an ancient tongue. Should you locate them, I desire them for my collections. Frivolous I grant you, but such pastimes often alleviate the occasional tedium of our existence. Please advise me if you find these things and I shall send an agent to collect them from you.

Her reaction to the news of the assignment at Tihuta Pass is somewhat indifferent, though perhaps a bit melancholy. She has been eager to settle herself again, but inwardly thinks that this fortress they are to build may well be her new home for some time.

We might both pray there together a while.” Withdrawing from the others, Bridget makes her brief ablutions with some warm water set aside in a pitcher and a large mouthed bowl set out for this purpose.

She is glad for them as it has become quite chill, and kneeling in the dew-covered grass, her robes have become damp so that if she could, she would shiver in the cold. But fearing no ill effects of the inclement weather, Bridget redoubles her prayers and reinserts her mind into the litany she has been reciting.</span>"

She had been wooed by many a local lad and had at it had come to pass that she agreed to marry one of her suitors. That afternoon before the doomed wedding she was alone in the farmhouse, busy baking bannocks and cakes for the following day - and all the while daydreaming about her wedding which was never to be. Suddenly she became aware that she was being watched. She looked up and there at the window was a tall, dark and handsome stranger. She gave a little cry oh shock and the  handsome stranger he spoke. He told her she was doing her work well and looked good with it but maybe she was just a bit slow. She retorted that she was as quick as any one else in the village but, flattered by the attentions of the handsome stranger exchanged a few words with him. She was quite clear about letting him know she was getting married the next day. He just laughed and said that  was all very well but she would have to be a bit quicker at the baking to make a good wife. She took objection to this and told him so. Again he laughed and said he bet that he could build a road to the very top of Bennachie before she could finish her baking.  He added that if she took the bet and he won, she would have to marry him instead of her intended. This was such a daft an silly bet, she jokingly agreed and told the stranger to be off on his way. Tipping his hat to her with a smile, he moved off.<br/><br/>She returned to her labours and soon all thought off that there handsome mysterious stranger had flown from her head. However a few hours later, just as the daylight was beginning to fade she had just got the last batch of bannocks ready to bake when she looked out of the window. There in the fading light she could clearly see a brand new road, leading all the way to the very top of Bennachie. She gasped and at that moment the stranger came into view. She now realised what she had done. She had entered a pact with the Devil! Panicking, she ran from the farm towards the Pitroddie woods. Non one was about and she could hear running footsteps behind her and feel the devil closing at her back his hot rancid breath on her skin, see looming shadows and spectre all about her the dogs of hell she knew she was doomed she did. She struggled to say a prayer but no words would come fear and the devil he stole em from her. The footsteps got louder and still she could not say the Lord's name. Just as the fiend caught up with her and grasped her waist in his clammy long clawed fingers, the prayer she had been unable to utter was answered, after a fashion. The Devil instead of clutching a warm and vibrant lass was holding onto stone! In his hand was a piece of that stone which had broken off as he grabbed. He had been thwarted in his desires at the very last minute she had be spared by the Lords work an she still stands to this day, perhaps if your ever traveling that way you will stop and lend her a prayer and give her a moment of yer time."" </em><br/><br/>She blew out the candle and smiled in the darkend light of the room at Gisella<em>""Well Lass what do you think then ?""</em>"

Though born and raised in a very traditional elven village, he rejected the lifestyle to move to more 'civilized' human lands. He enjoys the creature comforts that come with proper civilization - wine, tobacco, and a warm fire. The quickest, easiest route to financial security was to join the Westermist thieves' guild. Nevorim does not like to kill, but is comfortable with stealing, and has a somewhat romanticized view of what a 'gentleman thief' ought to be. He tends to rely more on his natural talents than hard work, especially his innate skill with the longbow.<br/><br/>Nevorim stands five feet tall, with long jet-black hair and milky skin. He has a slim build that leads one to overlook his wiry strength. Nevorim is missing one tooth, from an unfortunate run-in with a local bully, and is somewhat self-conscious about how this affects his appearance.<br/><br/>Nevorim was on a mission for the guild when he was snatched by the temporal spell.

Without money, rank, title or land they saw their daughter as their only collateral to buy a better life, and groomed her from a very young age to marry above her class, going so far as to christen her with a name more befitting of a princess than a peasant.<br/>When she was thirteen Tessa's parents' plans were derailed, to much to their delight, when she began showing signs of arcane talent. Magic users were rare and highly prized in their small country; the emperor himself was a wizard, a master of magics that could bend time itself to his will. Using every favor, every strained social connection at their disposal, Tessa's parents eventually got word of the girl to the Temporal Wizard himself, who had Tessa brought to the palace. For the next five years she was apprenticed to the emperor, though in truth he treated her more like a slave than a student. He taught her little, seemingly content to have someone to carry his books and fetch supplies for him as he worked.<br/>When war loomed and the spell he was preparing called for a rather strange and specific component, he decided his young apprentice was expendable and Tessa became the power source for the spell, sending her into the future along with the rest of the victims.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>""Meek"" sums up Tessa fairly well. Having been treated like a living chess piece by one person or another for almost all of her life, she rarely disobeys orders and seems used to being pushed around. She is quiet and easily frightened, but can be surprisingly brave when pushed out of her comfort zone, rarely backing down or giving up. On rare occasions a flare of anger may surface, breaking her normal mask of passive submission and hinting at something stronger burning within.<br/><br/><strong>Apperance:</strong>Tessa has long black hair usually worn in a thick braid, though several strands always seem to fall free and obscure her face. She has golden brown skin and gray-blue eyes often ringed by dark circles due to lack of sleep. Slightly pointed ears and large, almond shaped eyes hint at elven ancestry but the blood has been too diluted to offer any of the benefits of her mixed heritage.<br/>Tessa's clothing is quite nondescript, consisting mainly of simple peasant dresses in dull colors. She wears a pair of glasses at all times, but seems to have no other jewelery or mementos. If it weren't for the second hand crossbow and staff she carries she would seem little more than any other peasant girl.<br/><br/>((Plothooks sheet is still under construction!

He moved onwards towards the table Sunder following suite with a great yawn showing his teeth and how long and well groomed they were... not to mention sharp looking. He wanted Sunder alongside him for the obvious reason of that a stable might prove to be a temptation and he wanted no slip ups and secondly Gra'ak knew he hated that so very much. He nods his head in acknowledgment to the man in red and his voice was a deep rumble akin to thunder or bass drums.<strong>""Greetings sir. No doubt you are the one they called Red the Magnificent yes?

The first notice came from the timid cry of an elven woman that huddled into a corner and started writing. A pretty one that she was however the reaction of course Gra'ak expected. He always came across as naturally intimidating or one was downright disgusted of him branding him a savage but in this case she just seemed a touch intimidated by him. He would not approach but he would at least try and speak up since it was possible they could be working together.<strong>""Good day m'lady. I am called Gra'ak Kordoth and I assure you that I would not be summoned here if I was not trusted.""</strong>Well truth be told his order gave him the invitation and not the king himself. He doubted he would have been summoned otherwise but Gra'ak accepted it al the same. Hopefully the elf's fears were suppressed for the moment.<br/><br/>The dancing one however had entered and had been enjoying but the music and the fruit and it was hard not to at least admire the sense of joy she emits however Gra'ak was taught better then to simply indulge in the fairer sex and not respect them. It was the first lesson instilled in him and it was probably because of the uncomfortable truths of his birth. She was incredibly bold by her attire alone but also by her demeanor as she engaged in conversation. She knew she could be heard but doubted she cared for it was the whole point to get their attention and what happened next was  Gra'ak watching much to his surprise that the witch had approached him, curtsied and then asked him for a dance. Few women actually did that so for a moment Gra'ak was a touch silent trying to process that before he would step back and gives cordial bow in proper etiquette and his eyes would not stray from her face<strong>""Of course you may Rhinda. I am Gra'ak Kordoth and also flattered by your proposal.""</strong>He would gently take up her hand with his own. The underside of the gauntlet was reinforced leather so it would not hurt to hold it. He would of course walk out with her towards an open section. He wasn't expecting to wow her with any sort of dance steps but he hoped at the very least not to embarrass her."

I'll try and post similar summaries of other locations.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Buda-Pest</span></strong><br/>Three separate towns make up the city that is often referred to as Buda-Pest. Two of them, Buda and Obuda (Old Buda), occupy the wooded hills to the west of the river; though the two have merged in architecture and character, they are quite different. Buda bears the name of the creator of the fortress-castle. Pest, on the lowland side, still claims its independence from the higher, better defended city - except in times of war when its residents scurry across the river to take shelter there. Pest means 'chimney', a reference to the lime-kilns found in great profusion there; the German name is even more direct - 'Ofen', meaing Oven.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">Buda</span></strong><br/>Although the last area to be 'settled', Buda is the fastest growing section fo Buda-Pest. Construction continues on the castle, chruches, and various noble homes.<br/><br/><strong>VAR-HEGY</strong><br/>In the centre of Buda rises a limestone plateau called Var-hegy (or Castle Hill), which is topped by the royal palace. Divided into quarters, the northern section of the plateau is given over to important nobles and burghers, while the southern portion is reserved for the king's castle. To the west and above the castle are several churches, the most famous being the dark, Romanesque Church of Our Lady. Also in the church quarter are the town's prison, a small market square, and the town meeting hall. To the east rests Vizivaros, or Water Town, a narrow strip between the castle and the Danube occupied by tradesmen, fishermen, and craftsmen. The entire plateau is fortified with stone walls on all sides, though the castle has an inner wall as well. Because of an old superstition, buts of iron were embedded in the rocks of the fortification, a practice intended to ward off evil supernatural things. This section is the oldest part of Buda, constructed on the highland as a defensive measure.<br/><br/>-<strong>The House of the Red Hedgehog</strong><br/>Located between the Castle and the church district, the Red Hedgehog is an inn catering to visiting nobles and people of wealth who wish to stay in the castle district of Buda rather than in the market area of Pest. Accomodations and food are said to be the best in the city, and the inn's division of its tavern portion into three, smaller, linked areas makes each seem private without feeling closed in. Many of the city's elite visit the Red Hedgehog after sunset.<br/><br/>-<strong>Buda Castle</strong><br/>The castle forms a horseshoe shape, with a north and south wing thrusting outward from a heavier (and original) central block. THe central building is typical of 11th century castles - thick stone walls and wooden interior floors and ceilings. It holds a great hall, parlour (or meeting room), kitchen with its buttery (storeroom for beer, wine and candles) and pantry (for salt, bread and cutlery). Bedchambers, a chapel and a large open courtyard occupy the remainder. It is unfurnished but for several heavy wooden chairs, tables, beds and chests. Woolen rugs line interior walls in bedchambers (which are reserved for royalty, nobles and guests). The castle has arrow slits rather than winds. It is heated by an ingenious system of clay pipes connecting the building to the limestone caverns bneaht. The pipes lead upwards from a mazelike cellar. The many thermal springs beneath found in the caves (and outside them) produce steam that rises through the pipes, keeping the castle remarkably warm.<br/><br/>-<strong>Port Town</strong><br/>Below Catle Hill, on wide ramparts that stretch outward from the river, lies the port of Buda. Only a few buildings occupy this area. Most are no more than single stone rooms with stout doors. These warehouses are used for storing goods being held for river transport. Along the banks are posts used for mooring ships. Buda receives regular shipments of timber and bricks from Vienna and sends back fur, amber and exotic goods from the east.<br/>Upstream, where the river is not so wide, ferrymen use barges and rafts to carry people, livestock and goods back and forth across the river. There are no bridges.<br/>The Taban, or tannery district, is below Castle Hill, somewhat further south than the port. Besides tanneries, the district is also home to vintners who use the gently sloping hill as vineyards. Though afflicted with the smell of tanning, the area has many small, but comfortable houses occupied by merchants and ship owners. A street running up from the taban provides the easiest ascent to Castle Hill. Rumours abound among the poor of Buda-Pest that one of the tanners makes his fortune supplying tanned human hides to the devil worshippers that 'everyone' knows are abroad in the city. No proof of such horror has thus far been found.<br/><br/>-<strong>Gellert Hill</strong><br/>Joust south of hte castle lies Gellert Hill, named for the martyred St Gellert, a Venetian who became bishop of Hungary. During a pagan reaction after the reign of Istvan (later St Stephen, patron saint of Hungary), Gellert was nailed into a barrel and thrown from the hill into the river in 1046. The hill's only occupant now is a small shrine to the saint and - further down the riverside face - Celtic-era ruins and many thermal pools.<br/><br/>-<strong>Hare Island</strong><br/>Just above Buda, almost opposite Obuda, sits a small island known as Hare Island, 2.5km by 500m. It is covered with woods and boasts a hot spring in the northern end, and is connected to the Buda side of the river by a pile bridge. A Roman tower and villa, is the only building on the island - a hunting lodge for the King. It is rumoured that it will be deeded to the Knights of St John so that they may build a fortified monastery there.<br/><br/><strong>OBUDA</strong><br/>The lesser nobles, those who cannot afford or find suitable living quarters in Buda, have been relegated to the 'less desirable' homes available in unfashionable Obuda.<br/><br/>-<strong>The Noble District</strong><br/>Many classical Roman buildings and structures remain. A few nobles have constructed houses using the remains of Roman walls and floors, some with beautiful and intact mosaics. Other remains include the Thermae Maiores, Roman baths that include pools, steam chambers, massage rooms, a decorated promande and a temple in which statuary of the nymphs of healing still remain.<br/><br/>-<strong>The Round House</strong><br/>A military amphitheatre near the old baths once held up to 16,000 people. Its arena is topped by a block of abandoned dwellings known as the Round House. Their cellar walls form part of the ampitheatre. Below ground, under the arena, are cells where prisoners and wild beasts were once held.<br/><br/>-<strong>The Amber Market</strong><br/>When Buda-Pest was Aquincum, capital of the Roman province of Pannonia, it was a major stopover on the Amber Road, the main trade route from Russia. The most important goods traded along the route were furs and amber, hence the name. Amber is still brought west along the ancient trade route and sold in bulk, and crushed to make scent or set into silver and gold as jewelry or other ornamentation. That work is all carried on in the Obuda Amber Market, where craftspeople and traders set up stalls when weather permits. On the fringes of the market can be found storytellers, wine sellers, meat vendors, and the ubiquitous thieves and prostitutes.  Though the market is closed for several hours either side of noon, it is open late into the night, lit by torches places throughout the square.<br/><br/>-<strong>Hermit's Hill</strong><br/>This wooded hill rises above Obuda and provides a clear view of the town, Buda, the Danube, and Pest. A watchtower was erected on the hill by the Romans. Though in ruins now, rumour has it that it is haunted - whole squads of men would vanish if stationed there overnight. More recently, soe residents of Obuda have seen a bearded, long-haired man moving about on the hill from time to time. The mysterious figure, who dresses in a dirty, tattered red robe occaisonally comes down to the Amber Market and the central market in Pest. He can also be found at a quiet, shadowed tables in the second room of the Hedgehog. He's regarded as a holy hermit rather than a threat, and kind-hearted or devout people offer him food, wine, or other victuals. He merely nods, then turns away. Most believe that he has taken a vow of silence and no longer bother him.<br/><br/><strong>PEST</strong><br/>Constructed on a layer of rubble and stone lying close to the river's edge, most of Pest's buildings are mae of wood. Showing the Hungarian eye for fine decoration, many wealthy merchants have commissioned woodcrafters to adorn their houses with fine carvings - most are of flowers and vines, but others echo prechristian imagery. Al the streets of Pest circle outward from the central marketplace. The main street crosses from the port alongside the river, through the market and on to th east, where exits through the main gate. Beyond the gate lie only endless plains.<br/><br/>-<strong>Cattle Market</strong><br/>Just inside the main gate is Pest's cattle market, a dusty square where cattle, sheep, and horses are bought and sold. Usually referred to as 'that wretched hive of scum and villainy', the market is famous for the number (and skill) of the thieves that congregate about the market like flies.<br/><br/>-<strong>The Parish Church</strong><br/>Lying in the lowest spot in Pest, the Romanesque church known as The Chapel of the Virgin is newly built atop the ruins of a far older Roman structure. One watch-tower serves as a makeshift bell-tower.<br/><br/>-<strong>Royal Market</strong><br/>Pest has grown up around mercantile interests. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Royal Market, the central square of the town. All roads lead into the market, which is surrounded by the lawmakers' hall, the custom house-treasury building; and the Gold Boar and the White Stag - two inns catering to travellers. Germans frequent the Boar while Hungarians favour the Stag. The central market is filled with bright colours, lots of noise, and just about any trade item available in Eastern Europe. Everything from practical blacksmithing to bootmaking to delciate goldsmithing can be found at a price. Wine-sellers, fortune tellers, and moneylenders rub shoulders with mercenaries, slaves, and farmers. Hungary's main slave market is held here once a week.<br/>Goods from the West dominate most of the market, but otwo areas contain strikingly different wares. One section is run by Jews and features rare herbs, vellum, honey, beeswax candles, medicinal elixirs, and wares from Byzantium. The other area is manned by merchants from Pest's small Muslim community, who sell fine fabrics, rare scents, and exotic weaponry."

In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long<br/>past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither<br/>beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.<br/>Born below the ever cloud-capped peaks that gave the mountains their name, the wind giving credence to the groans of the trees, the sight of the bending oaks and pines giving warning of a upcoming storm.<br/><br/>Upon the edges of the slopes of the mountain of the mist can we find the group, heading south through the wilderness and towards Baerlon. It is nearing late in the day, with the sun touching the high trees and casting long shadows across the land. This story takes place in the year 980 NE, 2 years after the end of the Aiel wars, where the savages from across the wastes came to exact their revenge against King Laman.<br/><br/>Some foretold that this was a sign of the Last Battle, rumors of strange circumstances and events unfolding. For anyone to know for sure, would be the Aes Sedai, and they keep their facts close. With the facts for this return trip from the middle of nowhere being kept from Aurora, as a simple gleewoman need not know of the troubles that await. Why she is trailing an Aes Sedai and her warder is her own desire, or just another plot hatched by the Green Aes Sedai.<br/><br/>As far as either the warder of his Aes Sedai can tell, there is still another good days worth of traveling to do before reaching civilization.<br/><br/>[In order to get anywhere in this huge map, horses are rather needed.

Thick, gray clouds covered the night sky, hurling the town in darkness, except when every few minutes the flash of lighting briefly illuminated the town, followed by the rolling thunder only a second or two after. Most citizens were in home, lying in their beds, sleeping if the thunder didn't keep them awake. Oil lamps ahead and on the roads and alleys besides him informed him of the location of some of his men, patrolling the city while they kept their eyes open for those ghastly appearances that everyone seemed to be talking nowadays.<br/><br/>As he arrived at the council's tower, a tower that was about thirty feet in diameter and a good fifty feet high, directly connected to a large mansion, his fist bashed several times on the thick, ironclad door. He never liked having to do this. Not because of the wizards themselves. Nazhun was a good friend of him, and he never had any problems with any of the other wizards. It was because whenever he came here to bash on their door, he was asking for their help, which basically meant that the captain was saying he couldn't deal with the situation himself. However, given the situation, he saw no option but to put his own pride aside and see if the wizard could help him out another time.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Nazhun was not surprised to see Drackson's face as the door slowly opened. It was the only man the wizard could imagine knocking on his door in the middle of the night. Knowing the man must have had a good reason to have done so, the man, frail from old age, turned around and headed inside. ""I beg you welcome in my humble home."" the wizard told the soldier, even as he walked through the hallway towards the large living room located in the adjacent mansion, his bent back towards the soldier. ""What requires my attention on this forsaken hour?""<br/><br/>The captain of the guard took no offense and stepped inside, throwing the heavy door shut directly behind him. For a moment he wondered how the frail old man he saw shoving forward in front of him, barely able to stand without his quarterstaff, had managed to pull that door open. He shook his head, which shook droplets of rainwater out of his hair in all directions. This was after all a wizard he was dealing with. More water dripped down from his soaked clothes as he followed after the magus, occasionally glancing at all the weird objects that were scattered around the hallway and living room's ample amount of cabinets and shelves, ranging from books and potions to skulls, weird plants in pots and a wide variety of small critters locked in cages or jars.<br/><br/>""We're fighting a losing battle here, Nazhun!"" Drackson got right to the point, waiving all formalities. ""While more and more monsters appear on our doorsteps, the numbers of my men recede every day. This afternoon, we lost the Blacksteed farm to the barbarians, and another half dozen of my men in their defense."" Drackson had to swallow once before continuing on. Some good friends and fine men had died this day. ""We can't cope with it ourselves anymore, we need the wizards, and if the council has become too weak, then we'll have to rely on your apprentices. You've been training them for two years already.""<br/><br/>The old man shook his head as he sank down in his chair, knewing that this conversation had to come around one of these days. ""Drackson, I've already explained to you, and I will do again, with no offense intended whatsoever. They are not ready! I've only begun to explain them the possibilities and requirements of using nature's raw magic. I haven't even started on training them how to tap into the power. Wielding magic is not the same as swinging a sword. It will take decades before they are ready.""<br/><br/>""We don't have decades!"" Drackson yelled back. Surprised by his own raise of voice, he continued in a calmer tone. ""Sorry, my friend, I did not mean to get angry at you. Yet, the situation is clear. Without any help, we shall fail. And you will not have the decades to train your apprentices as the city will fall within the year."" Drackson looked down at the man, appearing ever so frail as he sat there in the large chair. The guardsman himself remained on his legs, close to the door that led him into this room. He regretted to push his problems on the shoulders of others, but this time, he saw no other option.<br/><br/>Nazhun let out a sigh, as he thought of his options, or rather, his single option. The girls had quite a bit of training. They understood the basics of magic and even knew in theory of the ways to wield the power of magic into the effects that they sought. It was accessing the source of their power that they lacked most, and which would have taken the most of their training. To bring forth the magic energy by your own power was an insanely complex task, and when done ever so slightly wrong, could result in one's own death or even worse. There was however a single option to bypass this problem, and all but a few years of required study, and that was tapping into the energy of another creature, rather than having to bring forth your own power. There was only one type of creature that could provide someone with power in this way.<br/><br/>The arcanist shook his head. This decision was so in sheer contrast with his own beliefs and teachings that he couldn't really imagine taking it. But Drackson was right, they had no other option. He let out a sigh, before looking up at the captain, who was almost spooked by the look on the magus' face. ""Fine..."" he eventually stammered. ""I'll see what I can do."" Drackson had the feeling Nazhun was aging by the second when the old man slowly rose again from his chair and turned to address the armored man: ""Have my apprentices brought here, and let them wait here until they are called for. Have everyone else, including your own men, leave the building the moment you can. And pray, pray that this is indeed the right decision to take!""<br/><br/>[Drackson leaves towards the streets of Lakeshire (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=95356#msg4147268)]"

The smell of ozone floods from the wizard as he casts the last incantation of summoning, soon overpowered by the combined scent of lust, erotic perfume, and complete abject terror. The runes etched into the floor and filled with various oils, salts, and powders glow from the magic coursing through them, a rift in space ripping through the stone floor in the center of the protective binding circle.

My wish is for you to summon demons for pacting to my apprentices.""<br/>""Demon pacts, hmm? That is within my power. I shall grant your wish, on the condition that I shall be freed to claim desmenes here in this realm, with free access and power, until such a time that my body is slain and I am banished back into the Abyss.""<br/><br/>""Tch. You shall not retain full power while here, Iikuxe'zramerah!"" Nazhun speaks her true name with all the will he can muster, but the demon just giggles, then strokes the old man's cheek softly with the back of her fingers. The look of surprised horror as the demon caresses his cheek was deliciously amusing to her. ""It seems we are on an even bargaining field, Nazhun. You speak my name, but perhaps you cannot hold a scribe so well, anymore? This Heln rune is miscast, wizard. Sloppy, mydear. Very sloppy.""<br/><br/>The wizard stammers nervously, seeing now that the rune below where the demon had reached through was still dull and inert, obvious to him now that it was point out to him. ""Why have you not tried to kill me, succubus?"" With this, she laughs, a soft and amused chuckle. ""Because I like you, Nazhun. We have had successful dealings in the past, and I am not one to throw away a good bargain just to kill an old man. Besides, the circle may be flawed, but the Gate is still active, and should I harm you right now, I would be sent back to the Abyss. So the deal as it stands is I provide demons for pacting, and you give me freedom to leave that Hell behind and live here on earth."" Frowning at this turn of events, the wizard turns to face away from the succubus. ""Not full power. You may only summon creatures here at this circle after I have repaired it, and only while I am present and aware. As long as I am alive and this contract is still valid, you may not bring harm to me or my assistants, unless asked to. These conditions are not negotiable.""<br/><br/>The demon holds her hand out towards the rift in the floor, the fabric of reality warping and changing until there is no rift anymore. Instead, in her hands, is a scroll of exquisite craftsmanship made of black stone and red steel, and etched on the steel parchment is the abyssal contract between the demon and the wizard. ""Agreed. You know the deal. Sign your name, and bleed for me, sweetness."" She holds the scroll open for Nazhun to re-read and verify before signing his name with a fingertip, the magics of the scroll etching his handwriting into the steel, slicing open the pad of his thumb with a nearby dagger, and placing his thumb on the scroll."

He mentally cursed himself for being so weak. He needed to muster all his strength just to move around without leaning on his quarterstaff, a weakness he wished not to reveal in front of her, though she most likely knew anyhow. When his eyes opened again, their stare shot daggers at the demonic creature. ""If not for the city, I'd rather slit my own throat than sign this pact, demon!""<br/><br/>Then, the magus' shoulders dropped and he stepped forward, knowing that Drackson could not cope for much longer. As he read the abyssal graphs that made up the contract. Sure, she could wreak some havoc and brimstone all by herself, but without the power to summon allies and underlings, there was only so much one creature could do. For a moment, he questioned her motives. What was she to do here on the world of mortals, earth as it was referred to by those that travelled between the planes? He would never venture to think he'd know a demon, but wouldn't one of her age and power seek more than a private playground?<br/><br/>Nazhun gritted his teeth as he signed the scroll. An ivory dagger emerged from the folds of his robes, the heft and scabbard beset with rubies. A brief jab, and the blood from his thumb sealed the deal. ""Now move back, creature!"" the wizard scolded, as his eyes returned to the rune. He grabbed his ink and feather, slowly and very carefully fixing the Heln rune that given Iikuxe'zramerah the leeway to strike a bargain. Minutes ticked away as the old man worked, crouched down on the ground, trying to fix his work while realizing he shared the room with a demon, of all creatures. More minutes ticked away as the man inspected the rest of his earlier work, but did not find any errors. Sweat dropped from the man's temples as he chanted the arcane words to imbue the magic circle once more. This time, if a creature would be summoned inside the circle, he was sure to have control over it.<br/><br/>The man breathed heavy as he completed his work, one hand resting on the ground as he slowly regained his energy. He already had to imbue the circle earlier that night, and the followed summoning of this specific creature had depleted almost all of this old man's energy. While he managed to fix the circle now, it was perhaps too taxing. Nazhun inhaled, got up, and walked towards his staff, still resting against the wall next to the entrance. He almost fell, but managed to grab the stick just in time to keep his balance upright. ""Tch. The circle has been repaired. Your demon spawn won't be as lucky as you, creature! Time for your end of the bargian! Summon five lesser demons to assist my five apprentices!"" Leaning heavily on the quarterstaff, the magus watched the abyssal creature, Forsaking this day, where he did not allow one, but six of these creatures to walk over earth with their filthy paws."

A ruffle of cloth whips Nazhun's head around to face her as he picks up on her spellcasting, her abjuration transmuting the very air itself around her into finely woven silks, rich deep blue and stark white, sewing itself into a dress fit for royalty. A quick exhale passes her magically applied lipcolour as a white satin corset suddenly laces itself around her midsection, blue lace fleur-de-lys winding around on the open panels. As she opens her eyes to smile at the old man, blue silk slippers fit quietly onto her feet. ""I imagine that you do not want the people downstairs knowing what I am... yet. I assume that they are your apprentices?"" A quick glare is stabbed in her direction as Nazhun responds grumpily. ""Do not presume to know what is happening, foul beast.

Rayne makes a show of examining her newly manicured nails in the flash of a lightning strike. ""Amusing as that sounds, you have a contract you wish me to fulfill.

Then again, Naburus was also partial fault to that, too busy toying with his prey as usual. Hey, one had to create some form of entertainment by taunting those doomed to eternal hell; otherwise he may just have to play fetch with his master, and his master wasn’t one to play ball.<br/><br/>His bringing into the mortal realm probably may come off amusing to some’s eyes. His hands were both altered from one another, his right several inches above his left, fingers curled as if holding something, though nothing was currently there. Even so, he was amongst mid swipe with whatever it was that he was once grasping, apparently he was also too accustomed of carrying that dear weapon of his, that he didn’t even notice it wasn’t present at all. There was a lapse in time that also followed shortly afterwards for the reality to sink in and his current obliviousness of the situation to fade, if only slightly.

A narrowed look clearly distinguished his lack of amusement to the circle he was entrapped within and further to the company before him.<br/><br/>Death glares continued to shoot through the stare he wielded and maybe a scowl even lingered underneath that mask of his. What kind of jest was this?  Has that creature done lost her mind? He would rather be damned then be a human, such feeble and weak creatures they were. He had harvested many of their souls and sent them through those gates when they became rebellious towards the fact of being sentence to hell. Not that they would have any chance if they did somehow overcame him, there was still his caretaker to be taken into consideration as well and that beast made Naburus look like a chew toy, literally.<br/><br/>“Die.” Was the only thing uttered from beneath that mask towards the woman once the old man was gone, speaking the common tongue. Naburus’s body turned in the circle, twisting, believing he was still holding his dear weapon. “Extend.” And what would of otherwise been a swipe from a curved blade upon her body, nothing followed. What blasphemy was this? His face wrinkled up, scowling now as he moved his hands to performed another swipe at her with a nonexistent weapon, though after the third try he finally realize his weapon was gone. Such a tool just couldn’t make it in the mortal realm. His eyes gazed down to his shrouded and empty hands, his mind reeling in his current possibility of being helpless. Again he would quickly take in his surrondings. “Release me, you foul, hideous beast.” He snarked out, such a charming little urchin, wasn’t he?"

Study the Catachism Dal Nozhstra... Heavens knows you won't, but that will be your task for the night."" Locking the door behind him, Nazhun hobbles his way back to the main staircase, and the foyer.<br/><br/>Seeing the young woman with Guard Mark helped settle his unease for the moment. ""Please give me a minute or two. When you hear me call from the stairwell, please come up to my lab Elena."" After waiting for the obvious acknowledgement, the wizard feebly climbed back up the stairwell, slipping into the lab room, and collapsing on the chair next to the door. ""Again, creature. The next has arrived."" With a smirk on her face, the demon turns back to the circle of runes and begins to cast. ""So be it, wizard."" Large sweeping gestures of her arms pull in more ambient energy, channeling the power into the runes on the floor. ""Antellun szizzik terh etim'eech forgen taph..."" The runes sizzle and spark, a heat haze forming in the center of the circle before a loud fwoomph and the gate rips into the floor, swirling and eddying. ""Gramu dex sjall'im quoe, sudo raen"" A shape appears within the flowing pool of red, taking form as a satyr like demon being pulled up on puppet strings. Similar to what she did before, Rayne approaches the circle and speaks in abyssal. ""Today you will be pacted to a mortal mageling. You have no real choice in the matter, so make with it as you wish. Do you have a particular fondness for an illusion Im to guise you with?"" The succubus was already drawing in more essence of color from the surrounding area."

Nahzun looked as if he was about to collapse. He was the one person in who she had never seen a single strand of weakness, and here he was; exhausted. She considered the time, thinking he may just be tired, but when last had she ever seen Nahzun tired? Never. She walked up the staircase, one step at a time. It seemed like with each step she was slowly walking from daylight into night sky as she felt the energy around her become more thick, more uneasy. Something was definitely not right.<br/><br/>She held onto the Amethyst around her neck tightly, a gift from her mother and father, the only one she maintained, as she ascended the steps with caution. Pausing in front of the door for a moment to compose herself, she took a deep inhaling breath before she slowly swung the door open and stepped into the room. It felt musky, solemn, made her shoulders hang heavy on her figure.<br/><br/>Her eyes fell upon the greenskin in the centre of the room, somehow he didn't look like anything Nahzun would allow to dwell on the realm of the mortal for very long. Confused, she glanced at Nahzun for guidance, some verifying glance that everything was in its place, some sign that this wasn't as wrong as it felt. But her eyes moved from Nahzun to the strange woman standing on the other side of the room who had her gasp slightly. She was beautiful, but her eyes terrified Elena, the confidence shone brighter than the sun itself through her pupils. Elena locked her jaw, breaking the eye contact and staring at the floor where she found the symbols that made a cold shiver run down her spine. If she remembered correctly, the exact words of Nahzun had been; 'Run.'.<br/><br/><strong>""What exactly is going on?""</strong>She asked, looking at Nahzun, appearing calm, but on the inside she was screaming. She wanted to run, but her feet were frozen. While she was afraid, she was also curious, and her fear only aided her curiosity as it had her petrified."

""Come, sit over here, Miss Elena. Do not mind the brute in the circle. He is bound there with very strong magics. He cannot harm you.""

Her whole visage was attractive, which didn't necessarily apply in a sexual manner, but rather in a very comforting manner. She felt like someone you could trust, someone who you wanted to tell all your secrets to, someone you would do anything for. While she was listening, Elena forgot about Nahzun, it seemed so natural to listen to her, only to her, as if there wasn't any other truth than the one slipping through her beautiful lips. Elene's forehead softened, her frown disappeared, and her anxiety about the current events was forgotten. She had to bond with this protector. It was the right thing to do.<br/><br/>When she finished, Elena turned to the greenskin in the middle of the room, and suddenly her anxiety rippled through her again. If he was to be her bodyguard, why was it necessary to bound him with magic so he<em>wouldn't</em>harm her? Shouldn't that be his incentive anyway? She scanned him, he didn't look very capable, or genuine about what Miss Rayne was proposing. She knew she wasn't nearly where she had to be to be able to protect herself against all the barbaric attacks that were currently going on, but was this really necessary? Couldn't she just grab one of the guard of the village and request them to remain at her side? She turned back to Miss Rayne, who had retracted a scroll from her sleeve. It was written in a strange language that Elena wished she understood.<br/><br/>But once she began talking, looking deep into her eyes, all that was unimportant. It seemed so natural. She would sign the scroll. This...greenskin, was the only one who could protect her because he came from such an amazing woman. Without second guessing herself, Elena signed the scroll, using her teeth to bite a small opening into her thumb, and placing it firmly next to her signature. Even though Nahzun had taught her to never sign anything in blood because no good would come of it, even though in any other circumstances this would have made her uneasy, right there and then, this felt like second nature."

Naburus’s eyes flickering to take in his surroundings, it didn’t appear escape from this place was going to be happening anytime soon and if what that woman said was true, then it wasn’t at all plausible. A feral growl escaped his lips in frustration, his head ached from how bothersome and annoying his whole situation was.

Mortals have a habit of doing that.”</strong>He sighed, but he wasn’t going to be siding with her situation any, his wasn’t any better, but he was damned certain to not become some slave to a mortal. Such would be a disgrace for a demon and Naburus was indeed a proud creature.<strong>”Just what did they tell you Zoe? Why are you here?”</strong>He continued his taunting prodding, perhaps he would find his own answers as well of why he was here and if not, well, he could always toy with this mortal till she may seek to cancel the pact.

Where was this coming from? She couldn't explain it. Even more so, she became curious about the details of the contract, she had signed it without even knowing what the clauses were, how foolish! She sighed angrily at herself, closing her eyes until the flash of pain subsided once more, and looked at the thing in her study with her, bound to her for eternity. Excellent! She thought, dully."

Wasn't her whole purpose to protect people against what had happened to her parents? Yes it was, she just wasn't being true to herself. She sighed out her frustration instead of putting it into a verbal confrontation, and frowned at the ugly greenskin who spoke a lot more educated than he looked. She was extremely curious all of a sudden, to find out everything about him; where he was from, who his parents were, why he had access to powers she didn't, why he would agree to this pact if he had his own source. All these questions troubled Elena, but could not be answered at the same time. And still, she felt the bind between them. It was like a mental magnet, once the noise and pain had adjusted a little, the refined new pull was almost visibly there. It felt like they were attracting magnets, she could always feel the pull of his aura, and when he moved, it felt like a wave, a magnetic wave.<br/><br/>For once, she fell completely silent and took his advice. She had never cast a spell before because she lacked the knowledge, training and energy. But he told her to test him, and she would. Slowly, she raised her left hand, and closed her eyes, envisioning what Nahzun had taught her.<br/><br/>She emptied her mind, as much as possible, and pictured herself as a black shape, with a very small flickering light in the centre of her mind. A calm flame, glowing very slightly, producing life, giving off energy. The flame very elegantly moved around, slowly and intently, every movement was with purpose. She let go of the restrictions of her conscious mind, telling her that this was impossible, and allowed the roped tying the flame down to break loose, letting it expand consistently, until it grew to the size of her head. She took a deep breath in, and with it allowed her lungs to absorb the flame and distribute it throughout her body, channelling her energy to circulate through her bloodstream. Finally, when it felt like a typhoon of swirling energy throughout her entire body, she focused on forcing it all to her left hand, keeping it there, within her body. Like a hurricane the flame spun around in the palm of her hand, underneath her skin. And then finally, she imagined the physics of structure weren't there; the restrictions of her skin weren't there, and soon the energy began seeping out through her fingertips, filling and surrounding her hand as she opened her eyes to see the very dim white glowing substance that was filling up her hand, twirling around happily, with very small and harmless streaks of lightning glowing among it. And it was beautiful. She felt like it was a part of her, her energy, her own creation, but she wasn't completely right.<br/><br/>The white glow faded a little into a darker shade, as she was reminded bluntly that the glowing energy ball in her hand was a creation of the mixed energy's of herself and the greenskin. With a huff she balled her hand into a fist, releasing the concentration and turning the energy ball into a short burst of smoke before it subsided and disappeared.<br/><br/>""What is your name?"" She asked, for lack of a better question. She had no choice, they were bound, he gave her the power she needed, and they were inevitably going to have to cooperate, regardless of the fact that he was hideous and made her shiver. However, if they were expected to interact with one another from this day forth, she believed she had the full right to ask as many and as detailed questions as she wished."

It was a sight Erin had grown far too accustomed with in her life, where spiteful siblings or rivals whispered and cast dirty looks rather than confront the target of their ire. Normally she'd ignore such glances but a rude awakening, followed by a quick romp through mud and rain while being roughly dragged by a cantankerous old guard, had left her more than a little moody. Without another word, the young Blackwood stepped passed Mark and into the tower.<br/><br/>In an effort to retain some semblance of decorum the budding magess alternated between combing her nails through her dripping hair and straightening her dress, with neither slowing her step as she pressed deeper into the eerie home of her master. ""Nazhun,"" she softly called into the torch-lit chambers, her only company the soft click of her soles and the dull drum of a still raging storm.  With no response forthcoming and a flight of familiar steps growing ever closer, the apprentice decided to take the initiative. Reaching out, she slipped one of the torches from its bracket before - with a sharp breath for courage - proceeding up the steps of the old tower.<br/><br/>The flickering of her torch caused the dark of the narrow stone stairwell to dance ominously around her, like so many shadowy figures taunting her from the void, with each step bringing the ever growing urge to glance over her shoulder and finally face the imaginary creatures which caused her spine to shiver so chillingly. It was as if a cold finger had lightly played its way from the small of her back to the standing hairs of her neck. And yet, on the outside, Erin somehow managed to maintain a look of authority. Defiant to the end, even to the monsters which lurked only in her mind, as she climbed the spiralling steps with such confidence and clout that one might have mistaken the tower for her own.<br/><br/>The only clear signs of hesitance came as she neared the top, where the thick wooden doors of the mage's lab caused the apprentice to question the wisdom of barging in on the old man, unannounced and uninvited. She could only imagine the possible damage should a complex spell or alchemical brew be suddenly interrupted... And yet a soft click and wooden creak roused the magess from such troubling thoughts as she came to realize that her hand had instinctively opened and pushed aside the heavy door. At first the young mage braced herself for the repercussions certain to come but as the scene on the other side of the gradually opening door slowly unfolded, she quickly found herself considering a different approach.<br/><br/>The impression Erin held at the sight before her was not one of shock, disgust or even suspicion, but rather that of amusement as the corners of her lips drew into a wry smile and her eyes took on a devious twinkle. She had the look of someone who had just caught their master with his hand deep in the proverbial cookie jar. ""Horned pixies, summoning circles and beautiful women... Isn't this all a bit kinky for your tastes master Nazhun?"" Raising her torch as well as a curious brow, Erin stepped just inside the lab, knowing only that something was off but unsure exactly what she'd caught the powerful wizard engaged in..."

The sudden outbreak caused the man to cough up, almost collapsing as he held onto his quarterstaff to remain at least partially upright. The loud rasping sound of his voice echoed through the room, before he continued to address her, the look of regret currently replaced by anger at the apprentice. ""You should know better than to enter this room by yourself, miss Blackwood!"" A thick emphasis on her name was an attempt to remember her that it was her own family that sent her into his services and that same family would most likely not be amused were they to learn Erin was not cooperative. The wooden staff ticked against the stone ground as Nazhun slowly walked up to her.<br/><br/>""But now that you're here,"" he continued once he was close to her. He now kept his voice low, but somehow his voice managed to sound it heavy from importance. ""The woman you see there is Rayne. She is an old acquittance from the south, and has promised to help me in your teachings. The creature you see with her is Krissanna, a familiar."" The magus held silent for a moment. He wasn't pleased at all for lying to his apprentices, but the situation didn't leave him any options. Either way, if he had to choose only one, it would have been Erin. No matter what happened, in Nazhun's perception the girl always thought the world centered on her.<br/><br/>A short glance towards the two female demons learned him that they were ready on their side. ""Listen very closely, for I will only say this once!"" the wizard informed the young woman, his voice sharp as he looked at her with stern eyes. ""I need you to walk up to the woman, while making sure to stay out of the circle. Tell her that you seek her assistance in your training. She will offer you a deal."" He interrupted the instructions for a moment, as his throat gulped, the situation discomforting him. ""Do not question the deal, but accept it unconditionally when offered. With her help, you might be able to raise to new heights sooner than expected.<br/><br/>Nazhun took a few steps back, ending up in front of the wall directly adjacent to the stairs.

The magess had never seen him in such a state, his once powerful aura and stature whittled away in a single moment's display of frailty. She could almost see the years tugging heavily on the old man's hunched shoulders. It was a sight deserving of sympathy and yet all Erin could offer was a slight frown as she attempted to meet his heated look, only to falter soon after. Failing to face him, she instead chose to turn aside and focus on finding a place to slip the torch rather than try lock gazes with a man who likely had a century's worth of glowering on her.<br/><br/>The invoking of her family name had little effect on the apprentice. She wouldn't have even been there, under the tutelage of Nazhun, if she cared as much for the wishes of her parents.

And if power was all she craved, then she would've striven to be more like her siblings rather than fly in the face of years of Blackwood tradition and social graces. Still, no matter the loss, the apprentice had the heavy feeling that she was bound to sign this agreement either way.

""You have come in at a very inopportune time. What you see right now is a demonic familiar. YOUR demonic familiar, in fact. Krissanna will be bound to you through a demon pact. Her life will be bound to yours, both as a protector for you and a magical conduit. Of course, it has its downsides. That command to sit? It was a contest of wills. And frankly, human, your will is lacking. Krissanna here will easily be able to influence you subtly, as well as just take control of you whenever she feels like it. You practically won't be able to resist it. On the plus side, you will have a pool of power with which to draw magic from, and shape spells. Nazhun as asked me to pacted you apprentices so that you may help the town out of its funk. I, for one, am betting against you."" Taking a deep breath, Rayne sits down on the comfy chair she was on before. ""So, here is where you choose, as every pact is made voluntarily, but not necessarily in full knowledge of.... Either sign here,"" with a pulling motion of her hand, the pact's scrolled parchment appears, ""or, you may leave this tower, return to bed, and wish all of this is a bad dream. Either way, the ends of either choice ends in death."" She unrolls the scroll and offers it to Erin."

She hadn't expected such an aggressive stance and was left ashamed at how quickly her will had been broken through. A fact she'd never admit. With an indignant huff and folding of her arms, the apprentice feigned as if she were simply not interested in staring down the lady. Instead she locked eyes with the diminutive presence of the demonic familiar as she listened to the extremely one-sided deal. Whoever this acquaintance was, Rhayne clearly knew that there was little option for Erin in the matter.<br/><br/>With a spiteful snatch of the scroll, the magess simply signed, rolled up, and handed back the parchment.

""Firstly, I am Krissanna, and if you poke me again, you lose the finger."" Krissanna giggled. ""Secondly, I have no idea what I get from this pact, other than a little bit of freedom.

Erin couldn't help but smile as it followed up its attack with a threat. The mageling almost scoffed at the thought of the adorable pixie-like creature, small as it was, doing that much harm. Such doubts were only enforced as she watched the demoness perform a dainty flourish in the form of a brief twirl in the air.

She would just refuse to let her have any powers if this were an issue.  ""So... what sort's of trouble shall we get ourselves into today?"" Kriss asked herself out loud.  She wasn't used to being as free as she was, but still she had to admit that it was better than where she was. She suddenly felt a slight twinge, as if she were hungry, but when she focused on the thought, it seemed to be just out of reach. ""Perhaps grab a bite to eat? Yes, that sounds like a great plan!

Reports of very nasty shadow creatures infest those depths, yet they never try to invade the city or even care enough to shamble into a coordinated horde.<br/><br/>The King, in his infinite wisdom, decided to allow random greedy adventurers to try their luck to get down into there and seeing about why the magic lighthouse refuses to turn on properly.

He'd seen the magus' face, the first time Drackson had ever seen that look. He looked up at the dark clouds that covered the sky and poured rain down on the veteran's face, praying that whatever the old man decided would turn out to be a choice for the better. A sigh emitted from the soldier's lips, before he straightened himself up, and his thick leather boots brought him forward over the cobblestone road.<br/><br/>""John! Mark!"" his voice echoed over the roads as he addressed some of his nearby men. ""Nazhun has requested for us to gather his apprentices. Head for the house of Blackwood and for the former Pierces inn. Retrieve misses Erin and Elena and escort them to Nazhun's tower immediately!"" He tried to remember where to find the other apprentices, as he headed himself for the house of Zoe Lirlun, the apprentice living closest to the council.<br/><br/>As his gauntlet fist bashed on her front door, the man yelled: ""Zoe! Zoe Lirlun!"" he didn't care right now about waking up her neighbors, there were more urgent matters to consider here. ""Nazhun requires your assistance at the tower this very moment! Don't bother changing dress, please come with me right now!"" Impatiently, the man waited in front of her door, hoping for a quick reaction, as he occasionally bashed her door again to emphasize how urgent the matter was.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Mark had arrived at the inn that used to be run by the Pierce family. It had seen better days, being recently overrun by thieves. The soldier knocked on the front door, that screeched as it slowly swung open. ""Miss Pierce?"" the young man called, as he slowly stepped into the former inn, watching over the common hall. ""Drackson sent me. He wants you to visit the Wizard Tower. It sounded urgent! I'll be here to escort you."" The soldier stepped behind the bar, heading for the room in the back, wondering if she were present.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>One of the servants of House Blackwood knocked on Erin's door, before stepping into her private chambers. It was an old woman, who had spent years of service for the house, and rarely would she impair on her privacy like this. ""Miss Erin?"" the woman said, as she carefully woke up the girl. ""There is a soldier at our door, that says he's here to escort you to the tower of the council. He said it was urgent."" The woman looked a little worried, thinking they were here to arrest the lady."

More like others needing him right ?""</strong><br/><br/>The comment was phrased to be rhetorical. Perhaps he wanted others to ferry some messages about that would only be received if given by a mage, or apprentice at least. Oh no, what if he decided not to apprentice others any more preferring to go rogue. He couldn't there was so much to learn ! Zoe feared the worst, more due to selfish reason however. Being an apprentice to him was heaven, the man drove his apprentices hard but taught them at a blistering pace. Opportunities like that don't happen ... often.<br/><br/>Either way Drackson didn't make mistakes like this urgency was not something he tried to hide. Zoe nodded and locked the door behind her. Her parents had gone on a holiday of sorts one they were not  sure on their return for. For some raeson they felt like visiting some new island they heard of which was said to have plants of vibrant colors which glowed in the dark which they wanted to capture on canvas. This had left Zoe to personally see to the house, a luxury she quickly became happy for.<br/><br/><strong>""Certainly Captain. I will be hot on your heels, but will make haste there on my own if you wish to rouse others or have something in mind other than being my escort""</strong><br/><br/>She was tempted to pry but thought better off it, the man looked impatient.

Drackson replied quickly, as he made haste to the Wizard's Tower, his curly hair, wet from the ongoing rain, sweeping as he looked left and right. ""I don't want any of those... things go snatch you in the middle of the night."" Every several steps he'd look behind him, making sure she was still following him. It was quite clear the captain was not at ease. Several other guardsmen were also walking around in the distance, their lamps in hand that were small bubbles of light in the darkness of the night.<br/><br/>A man screamed behind them, and as Drackson turned to watch, he saw two shadows on the street. As one of his men hurried to the scene, one of the shades slowly collaped, while the other one was moving towards a small alley. A bolt of lightning briefly lit the sky, causing Drackson to lose sight of the creature, which managed to leave the road before the sound of thunder rolled over the city.<br/><br/>[Zoe Perception 7+6=13: If she looks behind herself, she will see the shades as well. When the lightning hits, she is able to see the actual people for a brief moment. One of them is clearly dressed as a nobleman, as his coat falls off while his body drops down on the cobbles of the road. The other one looks like a human as well, but he is completely naked, his limb genitals even showing. His skin is a dull mix of gray and white. Long, ivory white hair hung down his back, sticking together into several strands.]<br/><br/>Drackson grabbed Zoe's wrists. ""Hurry, we have more important business to attend to."" he called out to her, as he continued his way to the council's tower, already visible ahead of them. As he pulled the apprentice along with him, he hoped his men would be able to handle the situation."

Ever since her father had perished at the hands of thieves, this had become a sort of tradition; to think about them for an hour once a day. Since she was their only daughter, the Inn was technically now hers, but she never claimed to have the know-how of how to run an Inn, nor did she desire it. She had sent all employee's on an ""extended"" holiday, until she could decide what to do with the place. For now, it was empty, rusty, and extremely messy. Kitchen utensils were sprawled out everywhere around her, she didn't care much for keeping it clean.<br/><br/>She couldn't stop herself from remember the warmth her parents brought her, and the condition the Inn was now, reflected her psychological frame of mind ever since they were gone; cold, empty, a complete mess. She closed her eyes an smiled to herself, remembering what Nahzun had said to her; ""At least they are at peace now"", which brought an amusing image to her mind of her parents enjoying the most valuable of moments in a warm place, with no more worries about how the food would eventually end up on the table. That's when a voice interrupted her train of thought and her face scrounged up in a frown. Her eyes ripped open and her ears sharpened to listen to the intruder, but when she heard the urgency in his voice followed by the depth of the words he was saying, Elena jumped to her feet.<br/><br/>The clatter of pots and pans rung through the kitchen as she stomped her way through the darkness, the sound was deafening to her ears, but it was unavoidable. Elena burst through the kitchen door, almost running straight into the owner of the voice. She jumped back and took a deep breath, holding onto the kitchen door, standing before him in her night clothes with frizzled hair.<br/><br/>""I apologize"" she quickly relapsed, seeing the expression on his face.

""My apologies for just barging in. I found the door open, so..."" The soldier stood there for a moment, totally confused and not knowing what to say. He was of average height, but somewhat broad, and his brown hair was kept in a short braid that hung down his neck. Large green eyes looked at her face.<br/><br/>It was then that the couple could heard the ushered scream down the street. Mark hurried back to the front door, colliding into a chair halfway, but keeping his balance. Looking towards either side of the road, he couldn't spot anything.

It must be very important, and if we move now, we can probably reach the tower without running into any of them!"""

She had never seen him before,<em>strange</em>she thought to herself, staring into his eyes silently, sensing that he was in an uncomfortable position. She gave a slight satisfactory nod as she made his braid out with her eyes, a man who grew his hair could only be appreciated. But when the scream broke the silence and he began to scuffle, her temperament fell to a more serious tone.<br/><br/>Racing behind him, she poked her head curiously out the door, imitating his head motion, looking from left to right to straight forward but seeing only darkness. When he turned to her with desperation in his voice, begging her to hustle, she nodded and ran towards the back of the Inn, through the kitchen doors, shutting them with an inevitable bang, and ripped her night clothes off.<br/><br/>On the kitchen counter, where she kept all her possessions, she slipped into her clothes as quickly as possible, unavoidably sounding a clatter here and there from the dishes that lay all around both the floor and the counter. Fully clothed, she grabbed the remaining items on the counter, sheathing her daggers into the pouches onto her back, tying her sash around her waist, and laying her pouched-belt over it with all her belongings within it. She held her bells in her hand as she burst back through the doors and stood behind the unknown man who she now had to trust to escort her to the Wizard Tower. She froze for a moment, wondering if it were adequate to question his morals and where his loyalty lay, seeing as times were so dire that trust was a major concern for everyone. She ran her hand across her neck, frowning at him for a moment before she realized what was missing.<br/><br/>""My Amethyst!"" She gasped, turning around frantically and scanning the floor for her one last memory of her parents. She turned over pillows and flung fabrics that lay loosely scattered across the floor aside in search for her most valuable birth-stone. Finally, among some scattered books on the bar, she found the leathery rope that was sticking out among the books, masking the Amethyst completely. She pulled it out and slipped it over her head, finally sighing out in relief and turning back to the waiting escort at the door.<br/><br/>""I'm ready."" She verified, giving him a suspicious look before laying the matter of whether or not he was trustworthy aside for now and falling in step with him."

And if it could scare him ...<br/><br/>The apprentice looked back at the strange scene and what made her shriek was the unnaturalness of what was shown. Such mottled implied sickness, but anything so obviously mottled at this distance was not just an ordinary ailment. Something was wrong. It wasn't human, it felt like something else. Something perhaps had changed them. Monsters in disguise ? Zoe's curiosity and fear of loosing the ability to learn more of magic due to chance this was an impromptu meeting for the wizard to declare himself done with others changed to fear of her own life.<br/><br/>Roughly the Captain of the Guards grabbed her hand effectively pulling her along with strides she found it hard to match. Normally should be outraged but the man had reason and in her heart she couldn't run fast enough. The man's strength was formidable, and half the time it felt like she was being more dragged with him than pulled along. In less time than she thought it possible, or did she feint half way though the journey ? She found herself at the wizard tower with an arm so sore from being pulled by Drackson it felt like it was broken.  Once there the apprentice rubbed her shoulder painfully, and soon an too painful feeling bloomed into her numbed hand which felt like it was crushed unintentionally by the warriors iron grip.<br/><br/>Her closed eyes streamed tears while one hand massaged pins and needles out of the other<br/><br/><strong>""Goddess' Graces Good Captain ! You don't know your strength, your grasp's that of a blacksmiths vice ! For handles of heavy swords not lady's wrists ! ""</strong>her words were brave but the expression in her voice couldn't hide her fear...<br/><br/>Although she complained in truth she was thankful for the steady aid he gave her. Perhaps without it she wouldn't have moved fast enough to get away. That flash of that figure was haunting.<br/><br/><strong>""What was that thing ? What is going on ?""</strong>she then had a sinking feeling she didn't want to know the answer.... what was worse than the wizard leaving ? Being morally obliged to do something none would want to be part of. But she knew there was a price to pay for power, wizard didn't train apprentices because they liked giving.<br/>"

All I can tell you is that he forbid anyone else from entering.""<br/><br/>As they arrived at the tower, Drackson retrieved a large key. None of the apprentices had ever seen the key in the possession of the guardsman, but it unmistakeably similar to Nazhun's own key to the heavy tower door, and the man showed it to fit, as he unlocked the door, and guided Zoe inside. She was barely inside, as Nazhun descended the spiral staircase that led up into the tower. The man seemed to look older and more tired than ever before. ""Zoe, come with me!"" the old man's voice rasped, as he noticed the apprentice. His hand gestured briefly, before he turned around and ascended the stairs, leaning on his quarterstaff.<br/><br/>[Nazhun takes Zoe up to the Wizard Tower (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=94373#msg4155921)]<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Mark wondered what the young woman was doing.

That scream sounded a few roads ahead, but the longer they waited, the closer it could be.<br/><br/>""Please, miss Pierce! We got to go!"" the soldier plead, when he heard her yell about her amethyst, but it seemed to no avail. He looked out of the front door, checking for any bad signs as he impatiently waited for the girl to stop whatever she was doing. When she finally admitted to be ready, he just jelled: ""Ok, let's go!"" before stepping out of the front door with the broken lock, and running towards the tower. While the young recruit didn't run at full speed, his eyes were focused on the shadows in the nearby alleys, not on the apprentice to check if she was keeping up."

She didn't even notice the maid leave as she fussed with her appearance, only to follow soon after as she weaved her way down stairs and through corridors until she finally stood by the entrance of the Blackwood estate.

""I have my orders, so let's keep it the easy way, shall we?"" The man was in his forties, his head bald on the top, but still patches of white hair on either side and the back of his head. He'd served the military for years in many different ways, and while escorting people that looked down on him was part of the job, it didn't mean he'd have to be happy about it.<br/><br/>John wrapped his gauntlet fingers around her hand, holding her in tight grip, just in case she was getting funny ideas at a later time. While he tried not to hurt her too much, that came secondary to prevent her from escaping his grip. ""Let's move!"" the man urged her, as he stepped through a puddle of water, pulling his hood to cover his head against the ongoing rain. ""We've wasted enough time already. I have no idea what Nazhun wants you for, but if we are sent to retrieve you in the middle of the night, it must be important.""<br/><br/>As the duo moved their way over the rainy streets of Lakeshire, they saw a small group of guards discussing something on the crossing ahead of them. Two of them were pointing towards a nearby alley, and one of the guards took point, sword and shield in hand, followed by another guard, carrying a sword and an oil lamp in his free hand.<br/><br/>[Erin Perception 5+2=7: She can't really overhear what the men are saying, but she does pick up ""dead people"" once or twice.]"

Either this...soldier was nothing more than empty steel plate, or he enjoyed being masochistic. She frowned at his back as she tailed behind him, wondering what was going through his head. It was a habit of hers; she was always curious about what people were thinking, and it frustrated her when she couldn't find out. In an attempt to distract herself, she listened to the light thudding her feet made on the ground as they ran. If she listened closely it reminded her of a time when her parents were still alive and they would take her for a walk when she was very young.<br/><br/><em>'Horrible distraction!'</em>she thought to herself, shaking the memory away and focusing once again on the soldier who ran like a tool; as if he had no lungs. She saw the tower straight ahead, and her motivation grew to unveil, what in actuality was going on this late at night. She ignored the stabbing pain in her side, and the heaviness surrounding her throat, as well as the fatigue in her legs and throb of her heart, and picked up her pace to reach the tower quicker.<br/><br/>""Nice meeting you, Mark..."" she replied dryly but not with judgement, and after a moment's pause she added; ""Tanning"", and fell silent.<br/>"

""I should've watched my pace."" falling back to step foot, the soldier walked the last bit towards the Wizard Tower, his breath as regular as if they strolled the entire way.<br/><br/>Drackson was waiting at the Tower's entrace, and nodded at the younger soldier. ""Well done, Mark! Miss Pierce, you've been requested to wait inside until Nazhun comes to retrieve you. Zoe should already be inside. Please stay inside, as the streets are currently far from safe! Mark, you guard the door. Let only the apprentices inside, nobody else!"" Drackson's words heeded warning. The wizard had informed him it would be dangerous inside for anyone but his apprentices, and the captain rather took his friend's word for it, than risk whatever could go on there inside.""<br/><br/>As Elena enters the tower, the door to the living room in the adjacent building is open, and looks like it always does. The apprentices have been quite welcome in the living room for breaks or more casual teachings. Any important lectures and experiments were conducted in the tower instead. The living room was large. Several comfortable chairs and couches surrounded a large salon table, and a dining table stood at roughly the other side of the room. Another door was present at the opposite wall, which to Elena's knowledge lead to Nazhun's private quarters.<br/><br/>The cabinets were filled with old, dusty books, journals, bags, flasks, chests and other collectibles. The cabinet closest to the table held ceramic plates and mugs as well as other mundane tableware. A large chandelier hung in the middle of the room, but it was unlit, so only a few torches that hung from the wall illuminated the room, casting shadows all over the place. A salamander sitting on one of the cabinets stared at the apprentice before crawling into it's hiding place inside a nearby skull.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Leaving Mark and Elena at the tower, Drackson hurried off to the Rain's Shelter. As he stepped inside, his wet hair swept over his face as he quickly inspected who were inside, and noticed a total of four people. Alice, who was standing behind the bar, greeted the captain with a welcome smile. Two peasants who still happened to be drinking at this late hour looked up for a moment to notice who entered, but then returned their miserable faces back to the beer in front of them.<br/><br/>Drackson stepped at the table at which the last patron was seated and slammed his hands on the table. ""Ahh, Thorin, just the person I was looking for!"" The soldier's face cheered up. He needed someone he could send for that forest kid, and out there Thorin was probably one of the most capable men around. ""Tell me you have time, as I have a quick, but important task for you!"""

Without any real purpose in life, that was what he had mostly done, leaving the elves that he was raised by, he swore to return to them when he had become stronger, to be able to help protect their homes, and to repay them for the hospitality they showed, even though the elves would love for him to stay, Thorin was quite a stubborn man, who felt he was indebted to the elves and on top of that, he wanted to see a bit of the world, thus he left the dense forests of his home and wandered the world. Thorin had seen and done many things in his life, and there was always work to be found. Whether it was helping to build a home, gathering some re for a blacksmith, joining a pack of hunters for food, or joining an army in a small war, he did it all, without complaining, as he liked the diversity of it all.<br/><br/>It was then that his travels brought him to the city of Lakeshire, he had visited this town a few times before, there was pretty much no place that his travels didn't bring him, as the fool had often wandered mapless, believing that he would just see where he would arrive. Seeing as when he arrived it was close to dusk he figured he would be best to take up residence for the night in a nearby inn, while enjoying a drink or two, the first time actually being in this inn, he had no idea of the elven owner of it, and when seeing Alice he figured it would be best if he didn't butt into her lineage, even though he had to admit that she was quite attractive. Paying a for a bed for the night and for a few drinks beforehand, he hadn't even finished his first when he could see Drackson entering the inn. He had fought alongside him in the past, protecting this town from a ragtag attack of goblins with a rather small squad.<br/><br/>''It seems that every time that I leave the forests and find myself in Lakeshire I find myself encoutering you'' He said with a slight chuckle, shaking Dracksons hand. ''The hour is late, but a real wanderer can't say no to a job now, can he? Sit, Drackson, and tell me what you need'' he said, offering him a chair."

""I need you for a short escort mission."" the man explained, keeping his voice low. ""There's a woman called Violet Hawthorn who lives in the forest nearby. It should be easy to recognize her, as her mother was one of the fae. I need you to find her, and then escort her to the tower in the middle of the city, where one of my men will be waiting.""<br/><br/>Another thunderclap pierced the sky, forcing the captain to break his conversation for a few seconds, before he could continue, emphasizing the first sentence: ""Do not leave her side at any time! You are obviously aware of what goes on in the forest, but the streets are just as unsafe these nights. Best stay clear of whatever crosses your path, and focus on bringing her to the tower safely. Anything else will have to wait for later."" Drackson retrieved a small pouch of coins and tossed it on the table in front of him. He was unsure when he would next time see Thorin with his obligations spread wide, and knowing him from the past, the captain trusted him enough to pay him up front. ""You're most likely to find her, or at least have her find you, in the clearing west of town, close to the hunter's lodge. Good luck!""<br/><br/>As he had warned Thorin, Drackson had a lot on his hands. Considering the discussion complete, he turned his attention to the innkeeper's daughter. ""Alice, can you tell me if Valeria is around? I'll need her attention right away!"" She blinked for a moment at the soldier's sudden request."

John answered, quite annoyed. ""Our men are all out and about, just trying to keep the town safe, and we still have people falling victim to those... things!

He didn't react to her blabbering about conjuration and whatever she was talking about, but it did run a shiver over his spine.

Clearly talking with the soldier wasn't going to be the best distraction and so Erin simply tried to focus on her own thoughts as they moved, prodding the possibilities of why Nazhun would call. She had her doubts that it was to help in the casting of a spell, seeing that none of the apprentices were at a suitable level, but there was little else she could consider that would warrant their assistance.<br/><br/>Erin paid the searching watchmen little heed as the group of soldiers wandered into the alley, lamps alit. It had become quite a familiar sight in a place like Lakeshire, where all manner of crimes and beasties ran rampant, and thus bordered on disturbingly dull.

What he (potentially) comes to discover is, the thugs who killed her were hired by either A) a major crime syndicate or B) an affluent and powerful politician/political family, some shadowy above-the-law type person/group. Or as a twist (that everyone will probably see coming, but it still sounds kinda cool to me), Villain A (the syndicate) could be working for Villain B (the Kennedy(s)). The reason she was killed is because she was opposed to letting anyone buy the orphanage she worked at, which is on land that the villains want for either Sorcerous/Demonic purposes, or good old fashioned shady land deals. And to tie in Kaizen's character, maybe the archvillain is drawing his/her/their power from a demon who steals kids and takes them into the Dreaming (say, two or three kids a year).<br/><br/>The traveling priest thing could be pretty cool to work in, too. Maybe a man who learned of Sorcery and tried to convince the Vatican of its dangers, but they didn't believe him and he wound up de-frocked? Then winds up traveling with Linwood for whatever reason. He could be an NPC, or Kaizen or I could play him.<br/><br/>Anyway, that was just my lil thoughts. Looks like we've got plenty of opportunities for some juicy sub-plots.<br/><br/>Has anyone heard from Remiel or JadeCore, are they still interested in the game or is it just us?"

People pushed and crowded to get to the RFV and whisk away to some other part of the city. Guards walked the streets, some in formation, some casually strolling, even stopping for conversation. From the shadows, a nimble halfling would cut a few purse strings and dart out into the crowd.<br/><br/>A guard nearby would sigh and take off after the thief, knowing the chase was likely pointless. Weapon drawn, the guard and the thief meet in a shadowed alleyway. The thief would flash his guild token with a smirk, but it was not the thief's lucky day. The guard had him in manacles in moments, and marched the halfling back up the street, not to the victim, but to a place here the thief would simply walk free. The Thieves' Guild would vouch for the little halfling, and this would just be an inconvenience, so long as the halfling hadn't been doing too much 'business'.<br/><br/>Just another day in the great city of Omneiro."

Her supple, athletic frame is stronger than her soft curves would indicate.  And she is well-curved indeed.  While not as busty as many humans, she has all the right curves, in all the right places, and is well aware of this fact. If not for her height, her bland coloring and perfectly regular features might easily go unnoticed.  That is, until she smiles. The smile she freely shines upon the world can literally light up a room.  Of course, it is sort of odd for light to shine from skin no matter how flawless, but no one she knows seems to mind.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Mathilde is open and outgoing with an infectious sense of wonder and delight.  Everything seems interesting and new to her, and she easily fixes her full attention even upon the prosaic and mundane. Though she hasn't led a particularly sheltered life, she still brings a child's sense of wonder to everything she does.  Her beauty is as much in her attitude as in her lovely features and flawless skin, and few mark her as exceptional at first, though she quickly grows on people.  Indeed, after getting to know her, many a man has lost his heart, feeling never again will they encounter a greater beauty. She likes the attention and isn't above flirting to get more.  Her flashing brown eyes are active and alert, rarely missing the attention she draws.<br/><br/><strong>Experience</strong>: Mithilde constantly battles the purity clauses of her religious oaths, and is thus almost always under penance for infractions to those oaths.  Frankly, she likes men and she likes having sex with men even more.  She isn't precisely easy, nor is she particularly hard to get, especially for older, more experienced men with confidence and an aura of achievement.<br/><br/><strong>Biography</strong>: She grew up in a small village of predominately human folk but with strong minorities of both elves and half-elves.  Even from a young age, her curiosity and bright manner drew attention to the lovely young girl.  Still, where elves and men meet the lovely and wondrous always seems to flower, so she was accepted and appreciated for her beauty.  When she first experienced sex at the tender age of sixteen, embraced the activity with a joy uncommon even among elves.  In fact, for the next few years she became something of a slut.  But as she left adolescence, she grew out of that boy-crazy stage and embraced a new passion:  The passion of religion and the fight against oppression and evil.  At nineteen, she earned an appointment to a nearby military academy run by the Order of the Chalice.  After completing her courses, the half-elven beauty set out into the world to right wrongs and to make a difference as a Knight Errant of Heironeous.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>Character Sheet</strong></span>(http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=8193)<br/>"

If I'm on and have the chance to post, I'd rather not have to wait a couple of hours to put my action in, in the case where there's a person with a higher number who's not free until later that evening. At which point I might not be free, which holds back the next person until tomorrow morning. It's very easy to end up with a snowball effect. I'm in favor of any bending of reality or game rules which keeps the game moving forward, as one of the top causes of game death in this sort of thing is a loss of momentum.<br/><br/>Along those lines, do we need Meagan to push our characters together a little harder? Perhaps we can assume a general action of ""Everyone helps everyone else get to the same rocky clearing, and nobody tries any funny business?"" (Such as picking pockets, casting spells on each other, initiating combat, etc.) Not that those things aren't possible later on, but it seems we need to start with some minimal level of trust in order to get the ball rolling in the correct direction.<br/><br/>As a minor note: yesiroleplay, I think in your last post you're referring to Glowie the gnome? (""...a child, maybe a halfing..."") On post #18 I had narrated giving her a hand up so she could join the crowd. Apologies if you're referring to a different character.<br/>"

The identity of the deity and its servant, however, have slipped from the memories of even the oldest inhabitants of the land, and to cite one over another would merely be folly.<br/><br/>In the hide-away of the devious devout, the mercenaries found him... possibly her, in the midst of a ritual which, as they had gleamed from notebooks in the cleric's study, would grant the user immortality by devouring the essence of living humans. One of the party, an armored human named Valorie, rushed into the ritual circle, scuffing the divine runes with her boot and knocking the caster back. Though her actions had saved the lives of the captives, the ritual had neither a target for immortality, not a source to draw power from, and so the powers that be chose Valorie for both, her body crumbling to a fine dust  that clung to the interior of her armor plating.<br/><br/>Her allies quite rightly presuming her dead took up her weapon to use as a grave marker as there no longer existed a body which they could bury or resurrect, selling her suit of armor for funds to hire a priest to perform a memorial service in her honour. Of course, none remember even the names of those members who lived, though their exploits at the time won them great favor with the people of the land. Eventually the armor was sold again and again, seemingly never rusting or denting, though it was at times split apart and pieces sold serperately in hopes of a greater profit for doing so. It took many decades for what remained of Valorie's spirit to gain control of her armor, and further centuries to claw all her pieces together again. Apart, of course, from her own mighty hammer which had long been lost, taken from its resting place and had not been affected by the ritual. Those immobile pieces of armor that seemed unable to be able to move of their own accord at all, such as individual plates or belts, unlike some such as her boots which could just about hop, or gauntlets which could crawl, had to be brought back in another way.<br/><br/>It was during her time of reconstruction that Valorie had learned to project an image of what she had once been from her armor, guiding adventurers that wore her pieces along their adventures in exchange for them bringing that part of her to the rest once they were able. And now, after centuries of work, she is once more whole. It seems, however, that history is repeating itself. Vile sorcery whisking innocents away while those that escape suffering from madness. This simply would not do. Justice must be wrought.</div></div>"

To anyone who might have observed her, she must have seemed insane, for few people could speak the tongues of beasts as the Fae could.<br/><br/>Speaking to two of the horses pulling the lead wagon, she introduced herself, bowing her head and saying ""My name is Yespio, of the sea, and by what names do you address yourselves?""<br/>-------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>After an hour or so, the ashen-haired elf man who was to be their guide rode back, reporting to Daisil that the trail was safe... for the time being. He had introduced himself as Gol'mynorr, a name which a few might have recognized as that of a nearly-legendary slayer of monsters, though those stories have been told for centuries. He seems to be a grim man, and speaks little in the time that he rides beside the rest of the caravan before galloping ahead for further scouting."

The creatures looked a bit like big, fat humans. That is, if big fat humans grew more than ten feet tall, and weighted more than 1000 lb. They weren't even armed, running around with small trees that they used to smash things, or rocks they simply grabbed from the ground and hurled against things. Yet, their simple brutal power was enough to wipe out Daelinshire's standing militia. In mere minutes, the few guards that still remained alive either surrendered or fled. The giants didn't care much for surrender. They just smashed the bowing heads in, and continued to advance into the village and wreak havoc. As rocks flew through the air, tearing down houses, the giants advanced, trampling the peasants that were too struck by fear to flee under their heels.<br/><br/>A single black raven seemed oblivious to the pillaging and slaughter, as it landed on the opposite side of the town. A puff of gray smoke briefly surrounded the bird and when the smoke had cleared, a middle aged man had taken it's place. The man, who later introduced himself as Xenion Blackfeather, was dressed entirely in black robes, while a simple black string held his graying black hair into a ponytail. He quickly ran into the fleeing council of elders and proposed them a deal. The man would rid the village of the giants, if the village paid him something in return. Something the village had plenty of, the man had warned them. The council, completely desperate, gave in without a second thought, glad to pay something they had in abundance to get rid of the giants, without even considering what the man was after.<br/><br/>When the deal was agreed upon, the man lifted one hand in the air, and three dark orbs appeared around his wrist, flying around in small circles. ""Your time is over!"" the man yelled in the tongue of giants, before the three orbs left his wrist and flew towards the brutes that menaced the town, flying over or past any obstacles that obscured the path between those orbs and the menacing brutes. The giants had just enough time to see the orbs of darkness pierce the sky and head in their direction, but not enough time to dodge them. The orbs struck each of them, entering their bodies close to their heart, without so much as leaving a scar.<br/><br/>While the initial damage appeared nihil, it quickly became apparent just how effective these orbs were. One after another, the brutes fell to their knees, hands in front of them on the ground. As the brutes howled in pain, their appearance changed, their hair quickly grayed, and then fell out of their head. Their skin grew dark and scarred to pieces, some pieces literally falling off their bodies, and exposing the flesh and organs beneath them to the open air. Teeth fell out of their mouth, and finally, the brutes succumbed to the ground, which shook as their heavy body masses collapsed. Even then, they still lived for agonizing seconds, before their hearts gave out, and the light dimmed from their eyes.<br/><br/>With the giants dead, the peasants where aghast by the devastating magic the traveler wielded, but nonetheless admitted that the man had saved the town. ""Name your reward!"" the eldest of the elder spoke to the traveler, before reminding him: ""But remember that it has to be something we have in abundance.""<br/><br/>""In abundance you do!"" Xenion replied, as his gaze wandered off, and big eyes moved from young maiden to young maiden. ""Give me twelve of your prettiest girls, at least half of which must be virgins, and I will guarantee the safety of your village!""<br/><br/>The council was in shock. For a moment, they wondered if they misheard the man or perhaps the man was joking, but when they realized the man was completely earnest, the council refused. ""Never!"" they screamed at the man. ""How can you ask us to give our daughters and the daughters of our townsfolk away? We'd rather have died at the hands of those giants than meet your insane demands. Now, get out and never return here!""<br/><br/>""Fine, I will take my leave."" the man answered, expecting their hostility. ""But not before giving you something to think about. Sleep!"" For a brief moment, a shadow fell over the town, despite the clear blue sky. One by one every male, be they human or elf or exotic traveler, fell to the ground and sunk away into unconsciousness. About a minute later, Xenion was the only man still awake. Of the townsfolk, only the women were still standing, watching in horror as their men lay on the ground in coma. ""In one year, I will return."" the man warned the women, as he turned around and walked towards the edge of town. ""I will once again demand a dozen of your girls. If you agree with me then, your men will wake up. Otherwise, they will die."" After a few more steps, a puff of smoke erupted from the ground where the man placed his right foot, once more obscuring the man from sight. Before the smoke had settled, the man had disappeared, and a lone raven squawked, as it flew away towards the horizon."

Their mission? To find a method to lift the curse the warlock had placed over their village. The villagers had picked these five women to travel to the city, hoping they had the biggest chance to arrive at the city alive, find someone that could cure their problem, and then bring the cure back to the village.<br/><br/>The first few hours of their travel the road ran along the outskirt of the forest, allowing them to enjoy the warmth of the sun, as only a few small spots of white crawled along the bright blue sky. To their right, the farmland spread out, while the sight to their left was obscured by bushes and trees. A slight breeze caused the leaves to whisper through the wind. Here and there a squirrel or rabbit quickly disappeared from sight as the women came closer.<br/><br/>After a few hours, the group arrived at the fork of a road. The turn right would continue along the woodland's outskirts, taking the long route all the way around the forest. The turn left instead dived right into the forest, the road ahead already cast in shadows from the large trees that surrounded the road, their branches hanging over the road to obscure most of the sunlight.<br/><br/>While it was true that the wood elves had their home deep into this forest, the forest was big, and the elves preferred areas that weren't adjacent to the major trade routes. Instead, other creatures, with less friendly intentions, made their homes in these parts of the woods. Trade caravans often took this route, but only when accompanied by a large group of guards. It was not unknown for such a caravan to lose a guard or two along the way.<br/><br/>The route right trough the forest would bring the women to Everkeep in a matter of days, whereas the longer but safer route around town would cost them at least two weeks."

Which would be the better option. Tucking some of her blue hair behind her left pointed ear. Her pale blue skin sparkled slightly in the light on the road. Looking down the safer path she knew would take them longer. Everything in her was against this longer route. They needed speed and going that way would take far to long. The path that would be the shortest would surely cause problems for her and her companions.<br/><br/>Then again, they were the best of the best in the town. True, she had a tendancy to steal from everyone but she never kept anythign for long if they asked for it back. Mostly she stole things people wouldn't miss or something a traveler wouldn't notice that was gone. Pulling out her waterskin taking a small sip of water from it. Turning to the women with her she wondered what they would pick. Hopefully they would agree with her and take the shorter path.<br/><br/>Figuring they would spend several minutes deciding with path to go, she sat down on the road. Pulling out her daggers she looked over them to make sure they were still razor sharp. Running her finger along the blade of one of them she winced slightly as the blade made a clean slice into her thumb. Happy with the fact that they were that sharp. Sighing she looked up to the women once again. Her voice soft almost like a breeze as she spoke to them, ""I say we take the quicker route. The sooner we make it to the city the faster we can find a cure and get on with our lives. What say you?"""

The perfect example of this is this relationship.<br/><br/>In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, which came out in the late 1970's, the main character was Amuro Ray. Amuro originally hated being the pilot for the gundam and wanted to quit in the middle of a strung out battle. The captain of their battleship, Captain Bright, walking over to him and slapped the emo bullshit right out of him. Telling him right then and there that he was a coward and not a man if he didn't go out to fight.<br/><br/>And you know what? Amuro manned up, grew some balls, and fought the good fight.

I'll have you know that neither of the Elric brothers were emo!

It was the homunculi, the antagonists, that were all sad and wearing black, while the Elric brothers were a couple of blond hair amber eyed happy children. Who had acceptable amounts of grieving for each character that died. Usually just the episode that they died in.

Having her in such a vulnerable position he decided to take advantage of it, and gave her cute kitty butt a firm slap.

Tears burned in his eyes as he stalked up to his own bedroom to stare at pictures of himself and his mother from happier days.<br/>Then he turned to his computer to look up articles on his mother before her retirement.<br/>She was called the Tawny Blur when she streaked down the streets of New York fighting crime as a fur clad cheetah girl.  Her friends in the hero community called her Purr, which got out too the fans and she didn’t stop from sticking.  Will had never dug deeper than that.<br/>Now he did.  The internet made it frighteningly easy.  It was a popular topic of scandalous photos and worse adolescent fiction, the time when the innocent heroine had become beguiled by her arch nemesis Mordred deMagus.  In the months she spent as henchgirl to the World’s Mightiest Evil Sorcerer, she became pregnant, but the Blur escaped his hypnotic enchantments in time to throw deMagus into his own portal before Horrible Creatures from Beyond Infinity could Eat New York.<br/>As his numb fingers flew over the keyboard, revealing truth after ugly truth, Will found that this whole horrible time happened a few months after the loss of Tawny’s father.<br/>He found the incident now.  A year earlier, an extra-terrestrial’s ship had crash landed and was suffering a core breach that threatened to irradiate Wyoming.   The repairs, the ship’s telepath explained, would take hours.  A super speedster—a cheetah-shifter--arrived at the scene and demanded that the telepath guide him through the procedure.  Though they succeeded, the speedster died of cancer within a year.<br/><br/>His grandfather, Wilson Laslow.<br/><br/>Wilson crawled into bed with his mother that night and she held him as he cried himself too sleep, gasping apologies.   He never answered to Will again.<br/><br/>Determined to follow in the family tradition, Wilson redoubled his efforts in school and athletics, but he still played video games with his mother and RPGs with some friends.  One day he came across a box of his father’s affects mothballed in a friend’s parent’s secret lair where they were gaming, using the hollo-table for a miniatures grid.<br/>Digging around, he located a bunch of things that didn’t make sense, but one thing to cool to leave.  An ancient icosahedron numbered 1 to 20 carved of bronze.<br/>Three days later, he dug it out of his pocket on the way back from school.  Becoming so engrossed in the artifact that he wasn’t quick enough to dive for cover when the latest super-skirmish came through, he caught a zot!  Wilson found his hair standing on end and power surging out of the ancient d20 and into his body.<br/>Wilson spread his arms, lifted into the air, and then the bronze embed in his forehead and was gone.  When he woke up in the hospital, there was no sign of it.  He spent the next few weeks dreaming of a book written in Greek, that he could somehow read.<br/>At the library a few weeks later he realized the copy of the Odyssey he was reading was not a translation!  The revelation that he could read Ancient Greek caused him to search out more books in that language.  Finally his search read him to close his eyes.<br/>The eye on his forehead opened.  The one that was basically a tattoo of an eye with a tiny bronze 20 sided dice for a pupil.<br/>In this fashion, he could see a book.  It proved too be the Grimorum Pythagorium, a comprehensive book of spells written by the founder of western geometry!  By studying it, he could eventually learn to do almost anything, including make talismans that would keep him on par with super-gazetteers, provided he had a steady supply of numbered perfect polyhedrons in various colors.<br/>The Polyhedral Prestidigitator was born!<br/><br/><br/>Numbered Perfect Polyhedron's of Universal Tincture<br/><br/>(http://www.reapersrevenge.co.uk/Images/Chessex/Gemini/Gemini%20Purple-Steel.jpg)<br/><br/>--This one color pattern of gaming dice works for any spell, though the expropriate dice types are still required."

Occasionally it seemed to move in and out of focus but always ... it resolved to blue. No wind. No motion. No changes. How much time you had been thinking of it was hard to tell when there was nothing to judge time with, nor did you want to. For you already had enough reasons to doubt your own sanity. Even the most sane of people usually did. Most dreams had something change in them but something about the reoccurring one you were having now made you feel uneasy... more than uneasy. But yes all had reoccurring dreams once in a while, and you had ones more vivid than this.<br/><br/>Four days ago it started effecting your waking life, it almost seemed sometimes when staring at water the image was trying to appear, as if all fluids are aware of you holding the vision and choose to haunt you with its static image in your waking world as well. Horrible. As if being haunted during sleep wasn't enough.<br/><br/>Times you were brave enough to watch the water long enough to be certain either way always met in failure, as the image seemed to gather its own life if the fluids reflections a feeling of anxiety grew .. so quickly one needed to close their eyes or look away.<br/><br/>Was water nearby forming it in ripples when you were not looking ? Had it always been there but the mind took minutes to adjust to see it ?<br/><br/>It had been days since you consciously avoided looking at water puddled about the ground. But today you found yourself tipping out water anywhere it could pool.. for the thought of being asleep while it appeared physically in any fluid nearby was<br/><br/>...

A soft moan and a shake of the overly stuffed down mattress alerted Zahira to her partner's unrest. Glancing down, Zahira saw Lydia propping herself up on an elbow, one hand outreached to comfort Zahira.<br/><br/>""Was it that dream again, Love?"" Lydia asked in a concerned tone. Zahira just wordlessly nodded, her long black hair splayed down her back, disheveled. She hated seeing the concern in her lover's eyes, but she hated more to see the worry that Zahira might possibly be going crazy. She masked the look of fear and uncertainty on her face and offered Lydia one of her dazzling smiles, leaning down and giving her a lingering sweet kiss on the lips.<br/><br/>""It is alright, Lydia. The sun has only recently set. Go on and sleep for another hour or two. I am going topside to practice awhile,"" Lydia's eyes stayed closed and mouth puckered while Zahira talked, relishing the lasting affects of the kiss.<br/><br/>""If you need me, come find me, Zahira,"" Lydia warned, opening her eyes and nodding her acceptance. Lydia often times was able to help Zahira accomplish a goal if she was incapable to do so on her own. Zahira smiled down at Lydia once more, her glowing golden eyes trying to reassure her lover, before reluctantly leaving the warmth of the bed. She threw the comforter aside and rose as Lydia, herself, turn over to resume sleeping.<br/><div class=""floatright""><strong>Kukri</strong><br/>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/dagger.jpg)</div><br/>Zahira didn't bother to change out of her long white silk nightgown. Instead, she threw on a long silken robe over top. The nights on the mountain in the desert of Iran were quite chilly, but being a vampire, this rarely affected her. She picked up her sheathed kukri. It was nothing ornate but it had been handed down to her by her beloved Amaravati when she had trained enough to make her first ritualistic sacrifice. She left her bed chamber and walked along the stone hallways of the caverns inside the mountain.<br/><br/>The expanse of Alamut, the mountainous fortress in which most of the Assamite sorcerers now resided, was huge. It housed thousands of sorcerers and viziers of the Assamite clan, and even some warriors, though they couldn't take the seclusion for very long. It was theorized that Alamut only contained a dozen or so sorcerers and viziers, but since Alamut and its whereabouts were kept such a very close secret of clan Assamite, no outsider ever actually knew the truth.<br/><br/>Alamut also housed many humans and ghouls for many purposes. Many rituals and spells required the sacrifice of livestock, which was maintained by the ghouls, as was the general upkeep of the fortress. Many humans residing in the mountain served as a willing food source for the vampires, and were kept happy, healthy, and safe. Zahira headed now to human's wing of the fortress. She encountered a ghoul on the way and sent him to prepare an outside ritual compartment on the grounds for the particular ritual she was to perform. She'd drawn a slit on her arm and lovingly let the ghoul feed for a moment before sending him on his way. Her little pet, she smiled softly.<br/><br/>With a cold breeze announcing her, she entered the apartments of the mortals who willingly give their lives to the smoking of kalif. Kalif is a plant that can only be grown by Assamite sorcerers. It is a cousin to cannabis but very much more powerful, quite effective in altering the consciousness of vampires and humans alike. Blood laced with kalif, or the actual smoking of kalif itself, is used often in spells and rituals by the Assamite sorcerers.<br/><div class=""floatright""><strong>Alamut</strong><br/>(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Alamut2.jpg)</div>The general awe of the crowd of humans was definitely noticeable, though it wasn't uncommon for Zahira to grace their presence. Not only was she powerful and old, but being the childe of Amaravati, leader of the Loyalist faction, gave her much credibility. Zahira approached a human woman who had just risen for the evening and was not yet intoxicated.<br/><br/>""I have use of your services,"" Zahira informed the woman. The woman was more than happy to assist her - just feeling worthy enough to be picked was incentive enough. The woman flew to a cabinet and withdrew a very ornate looking pipe. The pipe was gold and covered in an intricate design, a fine craftsmanship from the local metallurgist for sure.<br/>Staying on Zahira's heels, the woman followed her closely through the winding cavernous hallways, finally rising through a hole to the open night of the outside.<br/><br/>A few sorcerers stood about, practicing rituals that demanded the open air. Zahira's ritual did not demand such, but being under the night sky made her heart soar. She looked over and spotted the ghoul waiting patiently beside a very large bull tethered near a square of earth surrounded by stone. Zahira ventured over to the human and nodded her appreciation. The ghoul beamed before rushing back inside the mountain, his work here finished.<br/><br/>Zahira turned to the woman, who froze in awe of the vampire's glowing gold eyes. Remembering herself, she fumbled with a satchel tied to her waist. Loosening the bag, the human took part of the plant kept inside and loaded it into the pipe with shakey hands. She felt a bit of cold wind and, when she looked up, found Zahira directly in front of her without making a sound. The woman fumbled with the pipe and Zahira made a mental note to not select this particular female again. The human placed the pipe to her pinkened lips and was about to reach for a lighter inside her pouch when Zahira reached up her hand, a flame nestled in her palm. The flame jumped to the open end of the pipe and the human woman - Zahira never bothered to learn her name - began sucking vigorously on the other end.<br/><br/>The pipe lit, and the woman puffing away, Zahira approached the bull. She unsheathed her kukri and pet the bull's head, scratching around the horns and cooing to it. In one quick, deft move Zahira slit the bull's throat over the open square. Though Zahira was stronger than a human, she still almost lost control of the bull as it bucked its head and thrashed about wildly. Luckily it had been tethered and she had cut deep enough, gouging the jugular that it bled out quickly. It fell over in an upheaval of dust, shaking the foundation.<br/><br/>Zahira let the human get good and intoxicated while her eyes swept the night sky. It was beautiful in the secluded desert and she was thankful for the millionth time for the isolation. She had never much cared for the public and wasn’t sure she’d know how to act if she ever did encounter anyone on the outside. She’d been a hermit for over three hundred and seventy years.<br/><div class=""floatleft""><strong>Gold Pipe</strong><br/>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/pipe.jpg) </div><br/>Sighing, Zahira slowly walked back to the human. She stopped and slipped the robe and nightgown from her slender body, leaving them in a heap on stone surface. They were splattered in blood so she didn’t much mind when the wind picked up the robe and carried it away. She had more clothes than she ever could care to wear and wasn’t even sure how she’d accrued so many. Even as a human materialistic items had never meant much to her.<br/><br/>She approached the human female, taking the pipe and setting it on the ground. She untied her kalif satchel and placed it beside the pipe before reaching behind and unzipping the woman’s dress. It fell to the floor, crumpling. Zahira reached up and took the intoxicated woman’s hands and lead her down into the pool of blood.<br/><br/>Once in the pool, she strokes the woman’s hair lovingly before tilting her head to the side. As Zahira bit into her neck, the woman tensed and then relaxed, a moan of pure pleasure emitted. Zahira drank deeply before laying the woman down on the stairs to rest. She centered herself in the middle of the pool, the moonlight glistening across the surface, making the blood appear almost black in color. She scooped up handful after handful, pouring it over her head, and bathing in it until she was coated from head to toe.<br/><br/>She mumbled a few words under her breath and then settled into the lotus position in the center of the pool, waiting to Approach the Veil and seek apotheosis. A meditative state came over her, cool and tranquil. Then it began. The first four hours consisted of fighting off horrific and nightmarish memories and flashbacks of the most unpleasant kind. Faces, objects, and fears were put on display before her wrought mind. Once she had overcome that torment, visions of a different kind overtook her. The next four hours were spent denying such lustful dreams of entangled bodies and probing hands. Whispers and promises of pleasure swiped at her cognizance. She was successful, though, in her endeavor and her mind finally Approached the Veil…<br/>"

Slowly, eerily, a shape began to grow from the living rock itself, first hands, then arms and soon came a horned head like that of a demon before the entire creature emerged from the cave wall. He stood there for almost a minute, rousing his sleepy mind from the quiet rest within the mountain. He always felt a pang of regret whenever he extricated himself after having slept in stone: It was such a wondrously secure feeling to be completely enveloped in its unyielding embrace, like having returned to one's mother's womb. But it would not do to remain inside, as he made a point of always remaining fed to the brim at any given night: The sleep, the use of<em>Bond with the Mountain</em>and whatever powers he needed to use when hunting meant he was drained much more than most Kindred on a night to night basis and so had less time for slacking off.<br/><br/>Soon after he stepped out of the mouth of the cave and surveyed the valley before him, both he and it swathed in darkness. He had come here to the Isle of Mull off the coast of Scotland as a sort of vacation from the recent happenings in southern England. As a Gargoyle he could not operate within London and so his duties largely consisted of policing the countryside whenever he was summoned for duty. He didn't dislike his work; it afforded him a measure of status one of his clan seldomly enjoyed and sometimes it included excitement at low risk. The last month's job had nearly cost him his life and he was convinced elements within the city power structure had been involved in the debacle. It was therefore he now found himself hiding up here in the wilderness where no one would ever think to come looking for him, until he decided it was time to return. The Sheriff would chew him out for it, of course, but he was simply too great an asset to fear any serious reprisals.<br/><br/>Clearing his mind of the troubling thoughts, he threw himself out into the air, a 100 foot drop below him, a fell silently for a second or two before he stretched out his enormous wings, catching the updraft and leveling out. He steered himself down toward the coast and the small fishing villages situated there. There was almost never any nocturnal drunkards hereabout and it was driving him nearly insane; he<em>craved</em>alcoholic blood and the misers on this isle drank far too sparingly. Even so his skills of stealth were stretched to their limits as he had to sneak into people's houses to feed upon them. He had just decided to try out the mainland side of the isle when he suddenly turned about and aimed his flight straight south-by-southeast. After a few moments he realised he was being Summoned. He knew he couldn't resist it for any greater period of time and so, with a growl, a settled his shoulders and prepared to make the long journey toward what he presumed was London or some suburb. It would take a day or two and he might be able to feed at some point during the trip, but be was more worried about daytime sleeping arrangements: Not much rock between here and South East Britain - He would have to find temporary and risky lodgings on the way.<br/><br/>All he could do now was hope the party Summoning him meant him well rather than ill. In either case, he would deal with it when he reached them. If this had been done to him frivolously, there would be a reckoning."

She was still a young Toreador clan vampire, a low rung on the ladder, but she wasnt content to remain so low. No, she had plans.<br/><br/>She had become quite the singer and artist in her years in London. The boat trip had been slow and boring at times, with the only good interuptions being when she fed, but taking only what she needed and leaving her donor with no memory of his..donation.  Upon arrival, she had met with the Prince of the city, and her own Primogen there, who her loyalty was to as well.<br/><br/>Like most vampires, she remained out of sight during the daylight, but as it was overcast and raining a lot, she took to the streets as often as she could. Wearing a stylish and well tailored black dress with flowing skirts, she wandered, having no fear of muggers. She had already disarmed more than one and left him with no memory of how he came to have a broken wrist, or sore knee, and weak from blood loss. She had left the name Emily Chambers behind in Washington years ago, and now went by the name Mary Beth Parker.<br/><br/>She felt more..alive.. during the nights, as she was a creature of the night now, and always would be.

Her body was stiff and she shivered, sitting naked in the ice cold blood that pooled around her. She unfurled her limbs and the dried blood that coated her body cracked in protest. She rose to her feet and motioned the nearest ghoul - it just happened to be the same one from earlier - to clean up the mess from the ritual. The man hurried past her to commence cleaning and she vaguely noticed the kalif smoker had long since departed. In fact, she remained the sole inhabitant of the outside ritual area. She had most likely run all the others off early with the screams she was sure to have emitted when the tormenting visions of the ritual overtook her mind.<br/><br/>Entering the caverns below, she decided to use the nearby public showers to rinse, instead of dripping blood all the way back to her personal apartments. These new contraptions had only existed in the caves for a year or so. The idea was brought from the outside world when a group of newly turned Assamite Viziers sought shelter in Alamut. Zahira was still getting used to the idea that the luxury of bathing on a daily basis even existed! Growing up - and even during most of her years as a vampire - it was common to only be able to bathe once or twice a year, depending upon your wealth and status. Alamut, however, possessed for quite some time communal hot tubs, steam rooms, and cold baths. Water there was harnessed from an ever flowing underground spring, as well as the very rare rainfall.<br/><br/>Surrounded by pipes of various sizes, Zahira turned the knob on the showering contraption and it sputtered to life. Her body was already ice cold from the blood bath mixed with the desert night air so the frigid water pouring down on top of her didn't much phase her. It was when the heated water came from the spout that made Zahira squeak. The warm water felt scalding against her icy skin and tears formed in her glowing golden eyes. The tears mingled with the water running down her face until her body defrosted enough to find the shower soothing. By that time, most of the blood had been washed from her hair and body, flowing down the drains, emptying somewhere outside of the mountain. She used the communal oils, massaging them into her skin before relinquishing the shower. She dried off, not bothering to parfum herself before hurrying off down the halls.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><strong>Amaravati</strong><br/>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/Amaravati.jpg?t=1294703401)</div>She received many shocked gasps along the way, many hungrily eying her nude form but Zahira remained ambivalent. She entered her and Lydia's chambers, scarcely taking note of Lydia's zealous candle light studying. She pulled on a simple robe of black velvet and turned to address Lydia. Before she could speak, Lydia stood and pinned her with a disapproving glare.<br/><br/>""You attempted the Approaching the Veil ritual without my presence, Zahira. That is a dangerous ritual for even the eldest of Assamites!"" Lydia scolded. Zahira brushed off Lydia's concern with a wave of her hand before walking over to the other vampire, an intense but wary look in her eyes.<br/><br/>""Lydia, I saw a different vision. And with this vision accompanied a poem. Listen,"" Zahira recited the poem that had appeared to her in her trance. Lydia blinked and stared blankly at Zahira once the sorceress had finished speaking.<br/><br/>""I don't understand, Zahira. I have no idea about this lake that you speak of,"" Lydia confessed, her eyes darkened solemnly. ""It says something about being known to your kindred belated. I hate to even suggest it, but c-could Amaravati possibly have an answer for you?"" Her eyes expressed regret in having ever mentioned the thought but Zahira's own eyes lit up with renewed vigor.<br/><br/>She kissed Lydia quickly on the lips before exiting the room. Lydia came running after her.<br/><br/>""Zahira, not tonight! It is much too late and you are far too exhausted to attempt another ritual. You need to rest!"" Lydia called after her.<br/><br/>""I won't attempt it tonight, my Love,"" Zahira called over her shoulder. ""But I must recreate this vision while it is still fresh in my mind.""<br/><br/>Moving frantically now, Zahira rounded the stone corridors at a quickening pace. By the time she'd reached the artist's quarters on one of the sublevels, she managed to all but burst through the door. All hands stopped what they were doing and all eyes fixed on her position. Hating the attention fixed on herself, she uses Unassuming Pose, blending into crowd of artists. Going back to their business, Zahira waded through the dozens of painters, clay sculptors, wood whittlers, and other various virtuosos until she found the painter from the other day that had painted her first vision. The painter was an Assamite Vizier but his name escaped Zahira's memory. Regardless, she spent the next couple of hours describing her vision as he painted it upon a canvas to perfection. Zahira was thrilled with the work but outwardly gave merely a nod of gratitude before whisking it off to her bedroom.<br/><br/>Zahira fell quickly asleep, not even waking when Lydia came to bed. She was exhausted but ever present was the original vision of the blue plastered woods. The next evening, Zahira rose without a word to Lydia. She threw on the black velvet gown she'd worn only a couple hours the previous night. Out from the drawer of her bedside dresser, she drew a key and left a curious Lydia to ponder what she was up to.<br/><br/>Zahira walked for a good twenty minutes before arriving at the large ornate door in the west wing of Alamut's first level. She placed the key in the lock and turned, hearing the multiple clicks of the gears. Moments later, the door opened with a long resounding creak. She walked in, shutting the door behind her and lighting the candles in the sconces with a mere thought. White sheets were draped over just about everything and contained a thick layer of dust. She knew exactly where the vanity was and approached it with haste. She lifted the white sheet, revealing many items. Ignoring the straight razor, she picked up the ornate handled brush that she'd given as a gift. From that she plucked a single hair. She walked to the center of the room and began chanting, focusing solely on the hair she clasped in front of her. After about five minutes, the startled but ever masculine growl of Amaravati's voice flowed through her mind.<br/><br/>""Zahira? What is the meaning of this?,"" He demanded, voice rumbling inside her head.<br/><br/>""Amaravati,"" Zahira breathed, momentarily forgetting her reason for contacting him. She had not spoken to this man in over three hundred years. She shook her head to clear her mind. ""Please, you've got to help me, Sire."" She addressed him formally, trying desperately to remove any trace of emotion from her voice. She recited for him the story of her visions and all she'd been through since they'd begun, and then fell silent, waiting breathlessly for his response."

His flight path faltered and he had to concentrate to stay aloft, not letting the vision intrude upon his balance. The revelation of the identities came as a great surprise to the night flier when it turned out he was being called by a trio of young girls, obviously mortal by the looks of things. He could not fathom how these children could possibly wrap their minds around something as complex as a spell; were they some kind of apprentice Mages? That didn't seem likely, but how else could they have succeeded in this.<br/><br/>But then his gaze was drawn to a small vial next to the board they had apparently made use of. The vial was surrounded by something, a field, a sensation he knew wasn't supposed to be visible. A sudden sense of recollection struck him as he watched the shifting light of the vial and he realized that the reason why he could see the aura was thanks to a Discipline; Auspex. But he hadn't learned to do that yet, had he? But no; this was something that jostled his memory: He<em>had</em>known how to do this, but he had forgotten. Had he then known how to make use of Disciplines prior to his Embrace? That seemed inconceivable, but there it was. In any case, he felt faintly sure that the vial had an awfully strong aura, which was itself notable because he felt that inanimate items probably shouldn't have auras. It was beside the point: The girls had used this container to call him, so what was inside it? He would probably find out.<br/><br/>By their reactions he surmised that he was as visible to them as they were to him. So they realized their ritual had worked and they now looked upon the creature they had called forth. Did they think him a demon? Perhaps that would be for the best, perhaps they would break off the enchantment and lay their budding witches' career on the shelf? The vision dimmed and failed and Stráž was left flying through the night sky, still headed towards the general London area.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>The spell hadn't ceased, however, and two nights later he now found himself closing in of the town of Luton, north-west of London, where he began circling the sky as he looked for the place he was being drawn to. It came as no surprise that it wasn't inside the town but somewhere outside its limits; a mansion perhaps? Well, if that spell ended when he reached those girls there would be hell for them to pay."

Silently landing upon a brick chimney he ducked down to use it and the sloping roof as cover while peering at the dark street below. Visibility was poor, but guided by the sound of voices he could make out the movement of two figures. One was larger and was clearly the owner of an adult woman's voice while a smaller shape beside her must've been the girl witch. He strained to make them out in detail and hear the words they they were speaking, but the lighting was too poor and the distance too great. Remembering what had transpired the night of his vision of the trio, he turned to his newly found power of Auspex and slowly his awareness of the two increased.<br/><br/>Though it remained dark as ever, he could now make out details in the gloom and could hear their voices clearly. Listening to the end of the conversation he learned that the little summoner had apparently not had the good sense to keep her mouth shut of what had happened in that room, though hopefully she had not mentioned just why a ghostly apparition had appeared. The woman (her mother?) didn't seem convinced by the story, fortunately, and in a moment the two had disappeared into an old house looking in need of repair. He guessed he might find the other two girls in there as well, though it wasn't as if he had any option: Urged by the geas he took to his wings and glided over to the house's chimney where he perched, listening to the interior of the house via the flue. He remained there for an hour, as the spell could not easily force him to break the Masquerade, and when all was silent inside he set into action.<br/><br/>The windows were too small to admit him and forcing the door would definitely rouse all the residents inside and he didn't wish to cause a scene. As fortune would have the house had a basement entrance and Stráž quickly glided down to the stairs leading down to the door. He put his hand upon the handle and first tried it but of course found it locked and so slowly began to apply pressure to it. In life his strength had been herculean; in death it was downright monstrous. After about a minute of quiet, low groans the lock's fittings popped out of the wooden frame and the door swung in. He quickly moved inside and closed it again, pushing the fittings into the broken frame in case someone came down to investigate. After ten minutes, however, not a sound had been heard and he began to make his way through the house.<br/><br/>For a creature of such size and mass, Stráž could be surprisingly stealthy when he needed to and in short order had made his way onto the second floor. Quietly, he tried the first likely door and opened it slowly to peek inside. It was indeed a bedroom, but there was only one bed inside, illuminated by moonlight streaming in from a window, upon which lay the resting figure of the woman who had lead one of the girls home. He allowed himself a minute or two to admire the sight of her, because she made a beautiful sight laying there with her blonde hair spread out over her pillow, but his purpose here was to seek out his callers. Gently, he closed the door and moved on to another one further down the hall. There were other doors between them, but they appeared to be closets or small storage rooms.<br/><br/>He opened the door and there he saw what he had come for: A large room only partially occupied by there beds, all occupied, and lit by a three candles on a table; the girls apparently did not wish to be left in the dark anymore. He recognized the place from his vision and could feel that he was now at the focal point of the spell that had been cast upon him. He could also feel that he would not be able to move against the would be witches until it was over and so set to work to finish this joke that he had been made the butt of. Quickly he closed and locked the door behind him and moved to close the curtains over the windows so that no one would be able to spy into the lit room from the street. Taking up a stance in the middle of the room he prepared to address his summoners; the walls and doors of this house were thick and he felt confident the woman down the hall would not be able to hear him, though he hoped the girls would not start screaming.<br/><br/>""<em>You sent out the Summons and I have answered. Wake and address me!</em>"" His voice was deep and confident and loud enough to wake the sleepers; he could see them rousing from their sleep."

A vision had never before accompanied a Communication with Kindred Sire ritual before to her knowledge and she found her hand reaching out subconsciously to where the vision of him had stood. A desperate sob escaped her lips, coming from somewhere deep inside her. Amaravati -<em>her</em>Amaravati - had seemed upset with her not contacting him. But had he not left her? She thought she had been respecting his wishes by not contacting him. The sight of him physically shocked her and the sound of his voice hurt her somewhere deep in her core where lay the longing to touch him just one more time. Three hundred years of burying the image of his face, his body, the low rumbling of his voice, all hit her at once and her knees buckled. She sank to the floor in stunned silence, aching. At least his smell had not accompanied the vision. It very well could have been her undoing. The very stoic and unmoving expression on Zahira's face cracked and silent tears streamed from her glowingly golden eyes.<br/><br/>Moments passed as she knelt on the dust covered ground. Finally she gathered enough strength inside of her to rise. Visibly upset, wobbly legs carried her from her former lover's room. She locked the large heavy doors behind her, placing the golden key inside a pocket hidden in the folds of her velvet gown. She took a deep breath and continued down the long corridor.<br/><br/>Taking the West Wing's winding staircase, Zahira arrived on the second sublevel and took only moments before finding the main library at the core of the third level. She entered, as she always did, with purpose. A cold breeze accompanied her as it always did as well, whipping about and ruffling pages of books. Many Viziers, ghouls, and servants of all sorts looked up to glare at her but, seeing one of the few aged female sorceresses in Alamut, they averted their gazes. She walked to the first table and sat before a very handsome man with taut angular features, clearly human, yet smelling of vampire, making him a ghoul.<br/><br/>""Ghoul,"" Zahira began, leveling her glowing golden eyes on him, caring not for this man's name or interrupting his studies. ""I have need of your knowledge."" She went on without allowing him to answer, explaining each of the visions and poems she'd had. When she was finished, she sat quietly waiting for the man to answer."

She wanted to dig herself a hole to hide, but didnt want to shame herself among the Elders of her kind. Not moving from the spot, she faced down both women who were fixing blame to her.<br/><br/>""No, Mi'lady, I have no idea why his women arent with him"", she said, as she knew of his allure, but as a Kindred, she didnt fall for it.<br/><br/>Lisa's reply shocked her to her undead heart.

To not only completely drain your human, but to make them fear you, was reprehensible even to her, and unnecessary.<br/><br/>She was left speechless as she was told the fate, or likely fate of the servant,and saw now why no one was helping him.

The mallet and axe meant only one thing, he would be finished off, then cut up and his body would be burnt. At least she assumed, she had never seen a Kindred killed before.<br/><br/>""Duchess, I had no idea, no idea at all"", she said, then calmed down as Phera didnt affix any blame to her, one advantage to being as young as she was.<br/><br/>""You flatter me Milady, your beauty is far in excess of mine"", she said in reply to Pheras statement that her beauty was known, then walked quickly to keep up with her as she was lead for the front doors of her manor.

Even though he has only been in Alamut a few months, he is still familiar with the cold wind that always accompanied the elder Zahira Naqvi. He had been present at her visits to the library many times. At the first hint of the wind he looks up from his work while clamping his hands down on the pages, one hand on the old tome with other one on his own work.<br/><br/>The young American watches the elder vampire expecting her to consult with one of the Viziers, and then leave again as she usually does. He is quite visibly shocked when she sits in the chair across the table from him. After she addresses him he is even more shocked and it takes him a moment to recover and close his open mouth. He listens intently to everything she says, closing his eyes trying to picture in his mind when she describes the visions. When she relays the poem he silently mouths each and every word making sure he gets every word exactly into his memory.<br/><br/>The images of the lush green landscape bring thoughts of America to Charles’ mind as well as places in Europe. The words of the poem do more for narrowing of the possible locations. The word isle eliminates America and much of Europe and the vision excludes Australia, this leaves Britain. He concludes that it is about a lake in the British Isles, but which one?<br/><br/>One of the reasons Charles is such a naturally linguist is that he does not think in any given language. He has the unique ability to understand the meanings and images the words represent, it occurs to him that the key to this riddle may be in the words themselves. Having concluded that it refers to a lake in Britain he mentally translates the poem to English. As he runs the poem through his mind in English something about the words tickles at a memory of something he read somewhere. Standing up he politely excuses himself and rushes off to a section at the back of the library. He scans a couple of the shelves of books and finally selects one and brings it back to the table.<br/><br/>Setting back down in his chair, Charles begins to carefully but quickly page through the book. He stops upon finding the page he wants and turns the book so it is upright for Zahira. The page shows a very well done hand drawn map of a section of England. He points to a large lake and says, “Wast Water considered to be the deepest lake in England. It gets its name from the proximity to the town of Wasdale.” He takes his hand away from the book to allow Zahira to study it for herself. After waiting for a moment he asks, “Is there anything else I can do you, Lady Naqvi?”"

The mental image was burned into her subconscious, never to let her forget the ordeal she went through in order to be presented with such image.<br/><br/>""Haqim, Almighty,"" Zahira whispered. The only outward sign of emotion she'd permitted. She looked back up at the ghoul, her glowing golden eyes pinning him in his place. ""Brilliant!""

This is a normal occurrence as it happens 3 times a day: Just after the sun sets and the moon rises, midnight, and just before the sun rises. It was midnight and Zahira rose from her seat. Many of the human servants, ghouls, and a few of her non-Muslim brethren went on about their business as she grabbed a prayer mat off the wall nearby and placed it on the ground facing southwest. She sank to her knees atop the mat and bowed in deference, her head resting in front of her on the pyramid made by her hands. She began reciting the Islamic prayer, however replacing the term ""Allah"" with ""Haqim"" as was her particular custom. This she had done ever since she was turned by Amaravati. He had explained the ways of Haqim and she grew to worship the creator as if he were God, the same as Amaravati.<br/><br/>After the prayers had ended, Zahira rose to her feet. She rolled the mat back up and placed it on the wall along with everyone else. She returned to her seat next to the ghoul, feeling refreshed. Her emotions from earlier sated, she could better maintain her stoic demeanor.<br/><br/>""Charles Lancaster,"" she let the name roll off her tongue. She clasped her hands together, leaning her chin atop them, and stared directly at the man. After a few moments pause Zahira stood once again.<br/><br/>""You will accompany me to find this Wastwater Lake,"" she stated matter of factly. She inwardly cringed at leaving the safety and security of Alamut. She had no idea how the world had changed over the past 400 years. She had grown so used to these stone walls that the mere idea made of leaving made her want to collapse in a fit of anxiety. However, she maintained the her cool exterior. She rolled up the painting she had brought with her and stuck it once again in her pocket as she talked. ""I will be your donor over the next few weeks or however long it takes us. Please be packed and ready in the upper main corridor at sunset tomorrow.""<br/><br/>Zahira didn't wait for an answer as she turned and left. It's not that she thought herself superior, but that she had so much planning to do that her mind was elsewhere. She spent the rest of the evening arranging plans for the following night. She gave a list of demands for transportation and to unearth her old unused coffin to a few servants before retiring to her apartments. She had to pack and break the news to Lydia who wasn't going to be particularly happy with her."

Not being Muslim himself he does join in the prayers, but out of respect for their beliefs he does stop working and remain silent and still. The difference tonight is he is already silent and still when they start. During the prayers his mind wonders as he thinks about this new development. The only vampires that have ever concerned themselves with learning his name were some of the viziers and the one that had brought him to Alamut. He suddenly realizes that he has not seen her at all in over a month.<br/><br/>Completely unable to hide his astonishment or unease at Zahira repeating his name and staring at him, he fidgets and tries to look anywhere but into her glowing eyes. When she stands he lets out a small sigh of relief, but at her announcement his jaw drops. Leave Alamut? How could he possibly leave? Oh, the viziers were not going to be happy about that. They had been so excited when they had discovered that he could not only read Atlantian but translate it as well, something nobody else here could do. Not knowing or caring if she hears he says, “Yes, Lady Naqvi, I will be ready at sunset.”<br/><br/>After watching her retreating form, Charles remains in his chair for several minutes staring at the image of Wast Water in the book. Moving very slowly almost as if he is in a trance he stands and picks up the book. He shuffles back to the bookcase it had come from and places back in its spot. Returning to his table he gently and reverently closes the ancient Atlantian tome. Closing the book he was writing in with far less care he places it on top of the source book. He picks both books up and carries both books to shelves where works in progress are kept and places them on a shelf. One of the older viziers see him and demands, “What are you doing, Charles? That work is far from done and the night is still young. I have never seen you give up your work so early before.”<br/><br/>Charles sighs and looks at the vizier and says with obvious reluctance in his voice, “I’m truly sorry, Master, but the Lady Naqvi is leaving Alamut at sunset tomorrow and commanded that I accompany her. I am afraid that my duties are now to make preparations to travel on the morrow. I do not want to leave, but I must do as the lady commands. I promise that upon our return I will take up where I left off and double my efforts to complete my assigned task. Only my own death will prevent me from completing it.”<br/><br/>“Yes, you must do as the Lady commands, but I will hold you to your promise upon your return. Now go, I do not want you to upset the Lady. She cannot possibly understand how much you are needed here where you belong, but even here many of your skills go unused. Go serve the Lady well so that she will allow you to return to the library when she no longer has need of you.”<br/><br/>“Yes, Master.” Charles rushes to the exit leading to his quarters but stops in the doorway to make a last longing look back into the library. He spends the rest of the night packing and mentally preparing himself for yet another journey that he does not want to take."

He wondered only briefly how they had come to possess it, but waved the thought away as irrelevant.<br/><br/>""<em>You wish me to leave you as I found you?</em>"" he asked them then, but only the one girls nodded her head vigorously.

The strange ""woosh"" and a flutter of loose papers on nearby desks  was an unnerving reminder of how powerful some elders were in comparison to younger blood.<br/><br/><strong>""We know you had no idea Emily, our implied mocking was hollow"" </strong>Phera spoke matter of factly as her fingers flipped pages at an inhuman pace<br/><br/><strong>""Innocence and ignorance are two facets of the same jewel gorgeous.  Being mocked as ignorant makes one crave knowledge to have their thoughts deemed relevant. Crave knowledge strong enough and it will be granted, once granted one craves eternal youth. Crave it strong enough and you will find it, its a curse worse than anything, for later all one wants to be is innocent again. <br/><br/>A fresh mind not filled with unwelcome memories which chokes new thoughts. We are jealous of you Emily. We mocked your ignorance because we are jealous of your LACK of memories.  Its a game elders play on the young out of spite for living with a gem which becomes a weight one can't shed. In normal times ignorance is nothing which needs to be corrected ... but now alas is not a normal time""</strong><br/><br/>Then all motion in her stopped, too quickly, unsettling so. As if she turned into a manikin. Even her own Hair seemed to not obey the laws of nature either. As if a painting The sight of seeing her act so ... inhumanely was fearful yes but not awing,  more haunting. To Emily there was something wrong about it, something .. sick.<br/><br/>She then blinked then rotated her neck to Emily slowly... again too slowly<br/><br/><strong>""I know what your thinking. But No I don't have his affliction and it is not contagious, no matter if you drunk whatever came out of him or bathed in it your fine. It only effects elders which SHOULD be doing something else. What your seeing in me is what happens when you accumulate power in ways you don't want to. Only when you see those like me can you understand how much focus elders need to temper motion to seem graceful, elegant. Have your focus distracted for a moment and you move with such speed and force you just unsettle anyone near you and none trust you or want to linger. Loneliness comes soon afterwards. Still my problem not yours dear... ""</strong><br/><br/>She then returned to what seemed like the motions of a highly refined woman.<br/><br/><strong>""My home beautiful ? Oh yes, still the more I live in it the more I feel I wish to be surrounded by greenery only, it has a lot of memories, Ruthar being the least of them, well not the least but one of many. Most are unwelcome to me now, the places charm can't compensate for them. Perhaps a change would do me good. Still, you can have it if you wish ... you being here means something. ""<br/></strong><br/><br/>She stood then rotated her neck as if to stretch a pulled muscle. Again bones seemed to move in ways that bodies shouldn't permit .. unnerving. Realizing Emily's discomfort she stopped and was about to apologize then thought better of it.<br/><br/><strong><br/>""It used to be that it was only the ones doomed to bet lost and become hunted later that didn't have elder mentors. But there are so many of those now perhaps that is the norm and those like myself are the ones which may fade.  If you have no mentor and wish one say so this library has the musings of many elders. It is a more an impartial mentor than any I beleive, for people become more honest when they write don't you think? Which is why some like myself prefer to read more than talk. Still learning is not living despite what scholars may tell you, they simply don't live long enough to learn the difference, the passion for knowledge is fleeting... it passes, a fad. But it has its uses.""</strong><br/><br/>She spoke absent mindedly as if talking to herself. From what Emily could gather she was used to talking to herself in this room. In truth it was a habbit Phera had no intention to be shed of or excuse. For speaking of a thought seemed to center her intentions concerning it when she found herself in a maze of tangents.<br/><br/><strong>""The moment we saw the both we wanted you in our bedchambers and Ruthar in the incinerator, something that has lay cold for years now. Don't worry its not near, its a good stroll through the garden. He is already smoke now, it would have been quick, not that he deserved it considering all he has done, still being poetic such that he can ponder his actions while giving him a chance to recover and escape isn't my style.""</strong><br/><br/>A pause. Then she clicked twice faintly. A moment later a butler was at the library door<br/><br/><strong>""Gin on ice for myself and my guest, make it a double shot for her and a tripple for me, I fear I need it and it would be in-polite of her to not drink while I do.""  </strong><br/><br/>The butler nodded and Phera smiled to herself for a moment before continuing.<br/><strong><br/>""You know how to become a Dutchess ?, Its like knighthood, nothing to do with bloodlines. Act like one, and be useful to royalty and they will find ways of using loose references in their family tree to include you if your actions suit what they wish to redeem in themselves. Or if you make it clear you can tidy up some embarrassing mess of theirs""</strong><br/><br/>Ignoring the book for a moment the Dutchess walked a hand stretch away from the new vampire then started toying with Emily's hair.<br/><br/><strong>""I think its time I left this city, my hunger to be savage to act on impulses without restraint calls me , I see the same calling in Lisa and Margret's eyes now. Perhaps this place deserves grace of youth. Any Grace we will soon fall from I fear for thoughts of you are simular to ones most males would have.""</strong><br/><br/>Again said matter of factly.<br/><br/><strong>""What becomes more awing to most elders sooner or later is not refinery but what is primal. Instinctual. There is a godhood about acting without conflict. A person of such likes I feel you may meet soon.""</strong><br/><br/>Drinks were presented by the butler shortly there after and Phera downed it in one gulp, then shook her glass about the butler who almost filled it to the brim from a dusty bottle. She drunk it as if it was water while nodding for Emily to do the same.<br/><br/><strong>""Still enough about me... "" </strong>she then returned to the book.<br/><br/><strong>""This affliction was suspected by one ancient, symptoms are accurate. He believed that in the past the Monstors which roamed the earth fought with a fury which was not of their nature. Something paranormal entered their spirits. Demon spirits possessing them to experience raw physical power untamed unleashed for eons. Most assumed he was wrong but he studied the bones of strange creatures found in diggings for longer than any human scholar. His understanding of bones being broken due to violence was unparalleled. He believes that their fury is still in their nature still trapped waiting. Ones which are hungry to be born again. He mentions that this will be unleashed when the ""Black boon arrives"". Some fools thought that he was referring to the slave trade of those with darker skin. Some thought he was referring to Black Boom or Black powder. But none of them read what I have. Gas we know, but this new oil or black pitch is what has all talking now. Its use must be stopped. But on what fronts ? Where ? How ?

But if what I fear is true then you may not live to come back here, so its an empty promise in a way.""<br/></strong><br/><br/>Her face then looked impassive as she calmly returned the book to its shelf.<br/><br/><strong>""Not the lightest of readings I'm afraid.

She wore silken robes of black and a black hijab, pulled over her face to reveal nothing but her glowing golden eyes. Black Arabian horses stood still at the ready, waiting for the command of the driver. The driver was a human servant, waiting to help with the next of the bags. The black carriage had already been loaded with two of Zahira’s simple bags, packed by servants, as well as Zahira’s coffin. It was a long, simple, rectangular black box. It was nothing ornate, but heavily lined and practical.<br/><br/>After a fitful day’s sleep Charles awakens about an hour before dusk. Lying on his cot he stares at the ceiling of his small chamber, dreading leaving his new home. With a sigh he finally rises up off the cot and goes through his rising ritual as if in a trance. Cleaned and dressed, he grabs his packed belongings and goes to meet Lady Naqvi as commanded.<br/><br/>Zahira pulled her black shawl tighter over her shoulders. She was a bit chilled from the night air, but she was more chilled from the memories of the argument she’d had with Lydia. Zahira shivered. Lydia had been none too happy with her. She looked over at the entrance in time to see Charles emerge with his belongings. The driver takes his belongings and loads them into the carriage as well.<br/><br/>Zahira and Charles load into the carriage, Zahira sitting opposite of Charles. They sat in silence for a couple of hours with Zahira staring out the window and replaying in her mind the fight she’d had with Lydia, and Charles trying not to stare at Zahira, casting nervous glances at her every so often. Zahira sighed and sat up straight.<br/><br/>“So, Charles. Tell me a little about yourself,” she asked, trying to get his mind off of anything unpleasant he may be thinking.<br/><br/>Charles’s jaw drops slightly at the lady's question. He is shocked by her interest in him; in all the time he had been in Alamut she had never shown the slightest interests in the ghouls - much less him. It goes from asking him for some simple help in the library, to him traveling with her and asking about his life.<br/><br/>After taking a deep breath, Charles replies, ""Not much to say, my Lady. I am a student of archeology and have an aptitude for languages. What more do you need to know?""<br/><br/>Zahira wasn’t satisfied with that answer. It wasn’t long enough. So she proceeded to ask him how he came to be a ghoul, which led to further questions about his expeditions. She didn’t find anything he said to be too exciting, but she listened anyway, hoping to distract herself from her memories. A couple more hours passed as he described his life.<br/><br/>“I see. So you can, by chance, fill me in on what all has changed since the 1400’s?” she asked. She hadn’t thought until now that there could possibly have been changes. She removed the piece of her hijab covering her mouth and placed it below her chin. Her lush reddened lips, full of color, show that she’s obviously fed this evening.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright""><strong>Arabian Horse</strong><br/>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/arabhorse.jpg)</div><br/>He thinks for a moment 400 years is a long time, and recent history is really not his specialty. He starts filling her in on what he knows centuries that have passed by asking her questions to narrow down what she specifically wants to know about.<br/><br/>Zahira sits up and listens a bit more intently to this information. It has intrigued her a bit more than the previous conversation and she can’t help her eyes growing a bit wider at the mention of the various technological advances. The exchange also lends to his own curiosity about history, and he asks her some questions of his own. Hours pass this way and before they realize it, it has come time to rest for the day.<br/><br/>The servant pulls to an inn where they stay the night, Zahira taking care of all expenses. She buys three separate rooms, wordlessly gives the keys to her respective travelers, and gives a few extra coins to each for a couple hot meals. She takes her leave, the servant following her to her room to drop off her bags. The servant returns and he and Charles eat their breakfast in silence.<br/><br/>In her room, Zahira withdrew her kukri and walked over to the window. The first rays of the sun were want to peak over the horizon so she worked quickly. She poked her finger and etched a run on the windowsill. As long as the window remained close, no sunlight could get through the window for the next twenty four hours. After the Defense of the Haven ritual, she summons her strength and activates the Wake with Evening’s Freshness ritual, allowing her to wake readily if something were to disturb her room. Satisfied, Zahira lies down on top of the bed and drifts off to an uncomfortable sleep.<br/><br/>Finished with their breakfasts, both men retire to their respective rooms. Charles goes about his daily routine to get ready for bed.<br/><br/>The next two weeks happen in just about the same fashion. During the second week Zahira notices that Charles is looking a bit peaked and she realizes it’s time to feed him. Zahira allows him to go to breakfast so that she may go to her room and perform her rituals. Afterward, she waits by the door for Charles to come up the stairs. As he approaches his room weary from the night’s ride, she calls him to her room.<br/><br/>Zahira removes her hijab, letting her long black silken hair fall down her back. She gashed her wrist with one of her nails and walked toward Charles. She looked up at him as the blood pooled on her wrist and stroked his cheek. She took the back of his head and gently guided his mouth toward her wrist.<br/><br/>As she lets down her hair Charles really sees her beauty for the first time, but when she opens her wrist his attention is drawn completely to the blood welling up from the small wound as his addiction takes over his will. He has only been given this gift from much younger and weaker one before and cannot help but wonder what it will like coming from one as powerful. He is at first reluctant, but gives in to the need and curiosity and presses his mouth over the cut and drinks, trying to be easy and not take more than is being offered, but he is still young and inexperienced and begins to suck greedily.<br/><br/>Zahira is taken by surprise at the fervor in which he sucked on her wrist. A wave of passion rolled through her body and she dug her hand into his hair, taking ahold of a large handful. She gasps and allows him to drink a little longer, a little more than he should, before pulling him away.<br/><br/>Despite the feeling of her blood rushing in her veins, he is ashamed and she can see this in his eyes. It had been a long time since she’d had a non-vampire as a companion and she was surprised to note that she actually cared that this man was apologetic for drinking too deeply. She swooned and couldn’t help herself as she tumbled into his arms, her usual resolve in question.<br/><br/>Charles set her gently on the bed and backed out of the room, apologizing. He left for his room and went directly to bed. He struggled with sleep that night as adrenaline and power pumped through his veins.<br/><br/>The next couple of weeks happened about the same. They left their human servant in France and rode the steamboat to England, curiosity and fear of the boat apparent in her white knuckled grip on Charles’s arm. It was only slightly alleviated when the poor man began to whimper."

Phera, Lisa and Margaret had what every kindred and many humans would kill to have, money and power, yet Phera talked as both were a prison, one that Phera intended to escape.<br/><br/>""I would like a mentor..Duchess, as I am young, and hope to one day, know as much as you do.

She had assumed that one became a Duchess by marrying a Duke, or other such royalty, but to gain such a title by taking care of their problems..was this how Phera had gained the title.<br/><br/>Accepting the drink from the Butler, she savored it even as it lacked the sweet taste of blood. Emily was shocked by the Duchesses intent to leave this abode behind, to return to nature, live as some other kindred clans did. Yet she remained silent as Phera read from the book, one that had to be old and filled with knowledge. Emily could remain in here for a year until she had read every single book, yet there was something else going on here.<br/><br/>""I do not wish to see this befall you, or any other elder, Duchess"", she soflty said once the book had been returned to its shelf. 'I accept your offer in the spirit in which it is  offered to me. I will look after your estate Duchess.

I accept your offer of your estate, and will go to Wastwater to do what must be done. I do have need of your advice, any more that you have to offer"", she replied, trying not to feel overwhelmed at what was being offered to her, and asked of her.<br/><br/>This place and funds had much to offer her to find a way to end this black boon. She was used to not having much, now she would have whatever she needed to save her kind, and prevent what afflicted Ruthar from happening to Phera someday.<br/><br/>Slowly standing up, she walked to stand next to the Duchess and rested her slender hand on her shoulder. ""I accept the offer of your estate, and if you wish me to share your bed, I shall"", she soflty replied, feeling sad for the first time since she had last seen her human family, and had had to walk away from it."

It was presently bright enough that he had to engage<em>Skin of the Chameleon</em>to remain unseen, which further served to drain his pool of vitae, but it couldn't be helped; he needed to find shelter and his Haven was too far off to reach either by the long, safe route or by straight flight.<br/><br/>The information the kine had provided him hadn't served to improve his mood; Cumbria! It was all the way back up in Northern England, almost as far up as he had come from. He was beginning to feel like throwing the vial in some corner of his Haven the next night and contact the Sheriff and try to resume life in London. It wasn't an altogether appealing prospect either, but he didn't know why he should be flying back and forth across Britain because of some cursed bottle. It was true nothing much happened to keep his nights busy, but then he was very new to vampirism and this coupled with his amnesia had him in no rush to find adventure.<br/><br/>He arrived at the cathedral and immediately made his way into the southwest clock tower. Climbing up under the tower cap and pressed up against the ceiling; it was one of the few places in London with a thick enough mass of stone for him to sink into with the aid of<em>Bond with the Mountain</em>. It cost him vitae and was a mean way of resting, but since he couldn't reach his haven tonight it would have to do. It was also a place no other Kindred knew he used, so there was no chance of him being spotted as there would otherwise be at his home haunt.

Legend has it that these wild lands were once the center of the greatest human empire the continent had ever seen. Magic the likes of which we cannot fathom was practiced amidst the empire's towering spires, warriors wielded magic blades that could slice holes in reality, and the sky was ruled by floating vessels carried across the winds by trained griffins.

History says that the empire was wiped in but a fortnight after the portal appeared, and that it just mysteriously closed after the damage was wrought, leaving but a warning to the survivors that no human civilization should ever rise there again. The Kingdom of Rosalia has dismissed this legend as a mere superstitious folk-tale, and for the past ten years they have worked tirelessly to try and recolonize the land.<br/><br/>Rosalia's attempt has been very successful so far, and already several prominent towns dot the landscape while dozens of villages and hamlets surround them. For all their success, however, they still find themselves in need of aid. Recently savage creatures have been found pouring from the ruins that can be found across the countryside, causing a panic that the lands may be too wild to tame. Researchers from the kingdom are also interested in the ruins for what secrets they might hold. These among many other reasons are what brings you to these cursed fields.....<br/></span><hr/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: comic sans ms;"">--Players start at 6th level.<br/>--Roll 5D6 taking the highest 3 for ability scores.<br/>--Character wealth will be 20,000 GP plus one personal item of around 5,000 GP.<br/>--Core and APG are the only for sure content allowed, ask about anything else.<br/>--Content from D&amp;D 3.5 must be presented to me to convert.<br/>--This is a western themed game, so use only digital 3D and choice pieces of art for pictures.

Snow combined with thunder and lightening is always a fantastic sign of even better weather ahead, as the party itself is busy trying to make its way over and yonder a mountain pass, within the great Trull Mountain Range. The road itself is more or less just a cleave in the sheer rock face of the side of one of the minor mountains, which is safe to say certain doom if anyone were to fall off.<br/><br/>Why anyone in their right minds would make a resort town in a tucked away valley in the middle of nowhere, with the only road to it only slightly moderately suicidal is beyond any of the collective parties reasoning. If only you took the advice of the obviously sane woodsmen a few hundred years back about the weather up here was bit touchy during this time of year.<br/><br/>In any case, the best any of you can reason, the better part of the day was spent trying to walk more then 100 feet without certain doom, thanks to the lovely wind and the snow and the lightening and the snow. Crawling on all fours, all tied together, and hanging on for dear life, as you all just barely manage to crest another cliff edge, which is all well and good. Now the trick is getting back down off of the other side of the mountain without dying in a dozen unique and interesting fashions, that only a mountain can provide.<br/><br/>A brief flash is all that is of a warning, before a bolt hits another higher off cliff edge, a few dozen paces to the left. Rocks and dust going everywhere, which is all well and good, mixing in with the snow to make a slurry of pain and death. When the rumbling does stop nobody got squished, which is just fantastic!<br/><br/>What is more interesting then the near death experience is how the cliff face got blown out from the bolt. A good 5 feet or so above the rubble is a dark spot, or what could be called a dark spot, considering the near absolute zero visibility. It is around mid afternoon, as far as any of you can tell.

Anyone who didn't want to have their corpses fished out fromt he sewers paid what they owed. Sivir, and other debt collectors like her like her, ensured it.<br/><br/>The brown-skinned half-orc rose to her feet and padded through her hovel to a rain barrel that served as their shower water. Sivir cleaned up as best as she could, donned her equipment and chain shirt, and went to grab some breakfast from the kitchen. <br/><br/>Cold oatmeal and a sandwich awaited Sivir on the table. She smiled. Another gift from Mir. The half-orc did not know what she would do without her eldest son. The odd hours of Sivir's job meant she could not be around to take care of her children. Mir had stepped into his father's shoes without complaint, though the fact he was missing out on his childhood chewed at Sivir's conscience.<br/><br/>Sivir ate quickly and locked the door to her wooden hovel in the slums the best she could. A flash of pain reminded her how badly the bugbear threw her around. Maybe it would be a good idea to get her equipment checked out before going into work.<br/><br/>The debt collector had heard of a talented Dwarven smith by the name of Dolina from some of her Thieves Guild friends, but had not had the reason to visit until now.

Sivir's eyes momentarily fell on her gleaming cleavage, then were wrenched quickly away, brown cheeks turning slightly darker hue. ""Yes. That.

She clearly loved her work, and it showed in the intricately woven chain rings, the curve of the plates, the sharpness of the blades. Sivir understood why the other thieves liked her work.<br/><br/>The half-orc was stony silent when the compliment hung, relaxing a little when she clarified. Still, her blood was warming. ""Likewise for me, miss. And I'm not talking about the sword."" She said playfully in a friendly tone. ""I'm glad we caught this then. Hold on...""<br/><br/>Sivir stripped the enchanted brown chain shirt over her head, the material dragging over her powerful frame, pulling the flesh upwards.

Unfortunately for those who encounter him this is just a shell. Behind the courtesy and the charm lies a deeply arrogant and manipulative personality, a personality that has never really escaped the idea of the superiority of the nobility. Put simply there are two types of people in the world for Mr Lascelles... nobles like him, people of breeding and character from good honest stock... the type who can trace their line back through to the dukes, barons and princes of Medieval Europe... and there are the peasants... the lessers... those who's entire purpose in life is to facilitate their betters, to bend to their will... and he cares nothing for the peasants. Keenly intelligent and cunning, educated to the highest level and experienced in his chosen field for those he either respects or needs to use Christopher is the picture of charm... and a terrifying prospect for anyone else.<br/><br/><strong>Bio</strong>: The second son of a leading English family Christopher Lascelles wanted for nothing during his youth. An upbringing typical for a rural gentleman... educated at Eton, weekends spent shooting, hunting and fishing on the family estate before going to Oxford University. As the second son Christopher did not have to worry about managing his family assets instead being able to devote his time to his chosen interest: psychology. Lascelles is obsessed with understanding what controls people... and learning how to use that for his own advantage and eventually control people himself. A firm believer in the idea of birthright he considers it disgusting that those of common birth have been allowed to rise up in the world and believes that through his chosen profession he can return the world to the “good old days”.<br/><br/>His interest appeared early in his life and stayed ever since. Despite somewhat of a playboy existence at University (being a member of the infamous Bullingdon Club) he was immensely successful, scoring the 3rd highest mark of his year, contributing to multiple pear reviewed papers and co-authoring a piece with one of his tutors title “Rupture resolution in cognitive analytic therapy for adolescents with borderline personality disorder”. His Post-grad and doctorate studies followed these principles with significant amounts of work based on the ideas of Margaret Singer and her research into the mind control seemingly conducted by religious cults. Surprisingly he opted to conduct these studies in Eastern Europe, specifically in and around the area once known as Yugoslavia. He claimed this was for better access to less traditional research and reports but the reality was far more sinister; while his published work may have been legitimate the lawlessness of that area in Eastern Europe at the time allowed him to indulge his real passion far away from watchful eye of medical ethics. Rumours came of prisoners taken from their homes only to be returned weeks later slack jawed and drooling... if they even returned at all although of course none suspected the handsome, charming young psychologist of being involved in such heartless experiments.<br/><br/>By 2000 the situation was stabilising in the region and much to his disgust Lascelles found himself forced to consider a traditional career with all the restrictions it entailed. In that way the War on Terror couldn't come fast enough for the newly crowned doctor. He may have escaped mainstream attention for his work in Eastern Europe but for those who are paid to note such things he was a quick... and eager... recruit. Surprisingly it wasn't the UK who recruited him but the US... an arrangement that suited all the parties concerned. Considering the nature of his work the US wanted to be able to point out that he wasn't an American... the UK wanted to point out his was technically managed by the US and Lascelles was more than happy to slip through the cracks. In the early years his work was legendary within the community of the dark arts that had ideas about his work. Loyal fundamentalists assassinating their own leaders, countless deep moles offering up every insight into their organisations. Unethical... illegal... immoral... evil... but effective.<br/><br/>All good things must come to an end however. Abu Ghraib was a primitive attempt at extending Lascelles work. It was crude and Christopher would never have been so stupid as to be caught but the additional interest it brought to such operations meant it was simply impractical to keep them running. Rather than give up a valuable resource Lascelles was instead redeployed, sent to the Lily Asylum to both maintain his skills, give him a steady stream of test subjects to experiment on and serve his new masters in a different way.<br/><br/>Not that Christopher would ever refer to the Colonials as his masters... but nor will he complain as long as they give him what they want.<br/><strong><br/>Appearance</strong>:<br/><br/>(http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/sa/savile-row-charcoal-chalk-stripe-two-button-classic-suit-jacket.jpg)<br/><br/>A fit and healthy 35 year old who regularly partakes in intense physical exercise.

Although even in childhood, he was some one whom preferred to be left alone and did not talk much, unless he had to. He was sent to different clinics by his parents in order to find some kind of cure to his quietness, but instead of the psychiatrists figuring out his issues, he always managed to persuade them, that it was his parents abuse that was responsible for his unsociable ways.<br/><br/>This continued until he was 13 when, one of those whom he went to see filed a case with the police for abuse, then began the days of moving from one foster home to the next. Rather then missing the parents whom loved and cherished him, he found it fascinated by the idea of actually of control, even if it was a pretense to help that person mentally. Finally he managed to enroll into a public high school, his behaviour not changing around them one bit, yet he invested all his time to reach his goal of becoming a fully fledged psychologist.<br/><br/>5 years later his dreams were fulfilled, university had been especially hard on him, since he was approached by many girls. Though he would always tell them that he had no time for any kind of love interest, slowly these crushes, and their feelings changed to hate.

But luck was always on his side, as he was always at the library and there were several eye witnesses whom managed to divert the false accusations.<br/><br/>Once he finally landed a job after a few years receiving awards for his practical solutions in dealing with different disorders, although the part about most of his patients not making it through the day was always never discussed.

Mark had been sitting on the couch trying to watch tv when they started to argue and put his hands over his ears to try and keep their arguing from reaching them until they stood before him. The argument escalated and before too long his father had pulled out a pistol, and in anger, fired it on his wife several times before taking his own life, leaving Mark to the mercy of his Aunt and Uncle who took him in after all the legal work was done.<br/><br/>Ever since moving with his aunt and uncle, Mark has grown up antisocial and kept himself from the other children. Teachers worried about this behavior and approached his guardians and he has seen several psychologists as he grew up but besides his parents murder-suicide, they figured that that was just how he was and advised not trying to change him out of fear that something my snap in him. How they didn't see the signs of him being a psychopath, none can say as well. It all started when he was a senior at Del Norte High school when a English teacher, known for his harsh grading, failed mark under the pretense that he had plagiarized his paper. Mark was held back a year because he didn't have the one English credit that he needed and was forced to beg to be allowed to take the class again so he could pass. This is what caused his hatred of Mr. Strophe. Over the next year Mark began to make a few friendships but then slowly manipulated his ""friends"" into kidnapping and then unknowingly killing their teacher because he couldn't get to his medicine.<br/><br/>The murder wasn't discovered until a few days after when a couple had gone picnicking where they had buried Mr. Strophe and reported to the police that they had found a recently turned up dirt when Mr. Strophe was reported missing by his wife. One of Mark's friends was considering telling what happened when was able to convince the other two to dump gasoline in his grandmothers house and set fire to it, but were unaware that the boys grandmother was in the house when they set it on fire. The boy stayed quiet after that, fearing what Mark would do to him if he went and told the police what they had done. It wasn't long before someone eventually did rat Mark out and he was taking into custody before being shipped from asylum to asylum as Mark seemed to stump every psychologist that saw to him. The current asylum he's being taken to is Lily Asylum and Mark is more than certain that this will just turn out like the other Asylum's.<br/><br/>Diagnosis: Diagnosed as a Psychopath due to manipulating several other students at his former high school into killing a harsh teacher and killing one of their grandmothers to cover up for the death of the teacher.<br/><br/>Appearance Before:<br/>(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-tbWcg27uE/SYp_p8IncBI/AAAAAAAABIQ/5oGEoK3nWKA/s400/brian_shimansky_1.jpg)<br/>Appearance After: (After genetic change will be decided later as you are changed)<br/>Abilities: (after change again will come about after you are changed)<br/>Other:"

It's not always easy.<br/>Ryvaken was once a hunter and then military officer in a civilization known as the Feylyn Protectorate. His people, the Feryresr, are arboreal, predatory fae. Ryvaken himself is tall for his people, and dresses in an outfit composed almost entirely of well-tended wolf hide. He carries with him the tools of his trade; an eclectic collection of survival gear, weapons, and a tiny enchanted ring. His gear uses wood and a strange clear-green crystal where humans would use metal or plastic. The sole exception is the hilt of his sword, which is solid silver.<br/>Ryvaken's recent history is dominated by a calamity in his home world called ""The Dog Wars."" The progression of the war is irrelevant, save for the fact that in the final push, Ryvaken's squad was assigned to eliminate an enemy shaman. The battle went well, but a final vindictive spell destroyed the shaman, his home, and tore a rift. Ryvaken lost consciousness and awoke...here. He is alone, in a strange world, with no way home and no knowledge with which to articulate what happened to him.<br/>Ryvaken is an accomplished survivalist, having lived his life in a forest filled with creatures that would gladly kill and eat him if he did not strike first. He knows many secrets of herbs and blood, and with time and supplies can produce cocktails of disturbing potency.<br/>His people traded with humans regularly, however Ryvaken is no diplomat nor peddler of hide and bone.

we've never found a body of one of the attackers at any of the scenes.  The only real connection, aside from the frequency, is that every attack has at least one person missing.  We've never been able to account for all the bodies of any of the attacks.  Who goes missing doesn't seem to have any consistency behind it, however - male, female, human, elf, dwarf, old, young... nothing, except that they've never taken a child.  Anyone younger than fifteen has either managed to escape with little or no pursuit, or killed, but we've been able to account for all of them.""<br/><br/>""There have been a few success stories of people fending off the attacks, however.  It seems this group is careful, deliberately picking targets they can overpower.  Those that did survive either ran while the attackers were busy with others, or managed to surprise the attackers somehow, either by being better prepared than they appeared or had help arrive.  However, the reports of how the attacks came are as varied as everything else.  Sometimes it's only humanoid attackers, sometimes they have other creatures helping them, but each time it's been different.  The only connection is that most of the attackers have something like this,"" he says as he picks up a medallion.  It appears to be a holy symbol of some sort, though you don't know what deity the symbol belongs to.<br/><br/>""Now, this last bit... this needs to be kept quiet.  There's rumors flying all over about people that have been abducted escaping somehow.  It's true, we've had half a dozen show up.  However, there's something not right about them.  Every single one has shown up completely naked, not a scrap of clothing on them.  They keep mumbling incoherently.  Some of the local mages and priests have tried to cure them, but there's been no success.  It seems there's something magical keeping them in a daze, but no one's been able to break it.  What's worse is that they sometimes get violent.  The first one killed two of the clerics watching her before being brought down.  The rest we've kept restrained, and their violence sometimes flares up for an hour or so before they calm down.  Obviously, we want to avoid a panic, so we need you to keep quiet about it.""<br/><br/>""That's pretty much all we know.  Your mission is to come up with any information at all about the disappearances.  Unfortunately, the guard's stretched thin trying to protect our borders and keep the town from rioting, so we don't have any men to spare to help you outside the city.  Right now, I think our best bet is to have someone there when they attack.  There's a small caravan heading north tomorrow, around noon.  I want you to be there when it leaves.  You'll have to do your best to look as vulnerable as possible, to draw an attack.  If we can take one of them alive, we might be able to get some good information.  You have until tomorrow to investigate as much as possible.  Meet up at the north gate before noon.  If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them."""

Characters should be posted in the character thread.  Once I've given the go ahead, modify your post to add [Final] to it somewhere.  Also, include a list of limits that you as a player do not want to roleplay.<br/>4. Characters begin at level 1, with 100 gold.  Starting ability scores should use the point buy system (or if you prefer, the standard array or any of the arrays on PHB page 18 - all those stats can come from point buy).  All official material is allowed, however the latest errata will be enforced.<br/>5. And above all - have fun!<br/><br/><strong>Starting story:</strong><br/><br/>It all began with the disappearances.  People vanishing, while tragic, was sadly not unheard of.  There are many perils on the roads, from treacherous trails, to hordes of monsters waiting to pounce on the unwary, and even worse things.  So when a caravan went missing somewhere between the towns of Evencrest and Northwold, there was little reaction.  Sure, the friends and relatives of those that went misisng mourned, but aside from those that lost someone dear, the incident passed without much thought.  Until a group of hikers went missing nearby a few days later.  And the day after, a hunting party never returned.  Several more disappearances occurred, all surrounding Northwold, and the nearby towns began an investigation.  Unfortunately, the investigation was met with little success, until one day a woman, part of one of the groups that went missing, stumbled into town.  She was naked, weary, almost unable to stand on her own two feet... and she was babbling incoherently.  Most of what she said made no sense, but a few words - sex, temple, torture - kept being said above anything else, and it was clear she had been raped repeatedly.  She was kept in one of the temples, where clerics and mages of every nature tried to cure her madness, but with no success.  A few days later however, in the dead of night, there was a terrible scream.  Some went to investigate, but they saw nothing that would cause such a reaction - the woman was sitting on her bed, breathing heavily... but only a second later, she looked up, rage in her eyes.  She went into a blind fury, clawing and biting madly, killing two of the clerics before she could be brought down.  Since then, a handful of people have been found, all suffering the same symptoms, both men and women.  They are kept in chains and cuffs now, and every so often one of them screams and tries to break out of the restraints, but so far there has been no progress towards a cure.  And so a call to arms has gone out, asking for any able-bodied adventurers to head to the town of Northwold, find the cause of these disappearances and end them, and find a way to cure the madness that has taken hold of those who managed to escape.<br/><br/><strong>Discussion points:</strong><br/><br/>-Special rules for combat in PbP.  First, if we're waiting on your character for more than 24 hours, I may step in and say that you're delaying.  You can say you want to come back and un-delay at any time, but until then, the combat may continue without you.  If you know you'll be gone or would prefer some sort of action over delaying if you can't post, PM me some basic tactics so I can automate your character.  Second, if a battle against normal enemies is nearing the end and is basically an at-will slugfest, I'll step in and automate everyone's actions until something happens.  I'll give some warning beforehand, however.  Finally, I'm going to increase EXP gains, about 2-3x normal, to speed up leveling.<br/><br/>-How much sex should be in the game?  I plan on having an actual plot, not just excuses for everyone to go hump everyone else, but that doesn't mean the plot can't revolve around sex.  But, I would like input from everyone else on this.<br/><br/>-Scenes involving NPCs.  If there's a scene going on involving NPCs and at least one of the PCs isn't participating in the scene, I may ask one of the players sitting out to take on the role of one of the NPCs, if it would be appropriate.  This is entirely up to the player I'm asking; you're free to refuse if you want."

But it's entirely invidual taste of adventurer how<em>much</em>sex he wants/prefers. Anycase as player who dropped was a striker so I have thinked play a sorcerer who also has secondary role as controller (in form of; blast several enemies away as form of control). I may shift some spells energy types with GM's approval but form of the powers would not change (example; change acid orb at-will power to 'fire orb').<br/><br/>I do not mind control npc's or get through npc into action with fellow player when smut starts occur with everyone else but one seems to be left out (and person desire to join in but does not find convient means to do so).

So far as I know changing the elemental type of the spell is approved even in official rules (by GM's decision) when re-fluffing spells. You cannot add dual elemental type to spells which do not have it already but change acid to fire example is minor change.<br/><br/>It ruins my concept to nothing if I cannot swap elemental dmg type to fire with spells which I choose, or change them. I did not plan change all spells, as theme wise I thinked my char has fire or thunder spells but nothing else. But if I use thunder or fire spells it skips some spells which mechanically suit to the dragon soul or overall are nice. I am not aksing change damage dice, feats or class features. Just elemental type of the spells. Go even so far if I example change frost spell to fire spell then defense would change to reflex instead fortitude (as it makes more sense)."

Not do it on fly and decide between element types but simply feat which states; 'Any spell sorcerer picks becomes fire type spells and changes any saves to reflex saves'. It's kind of handicap feat but it allows focus to single elemental school and so focus feats around empower fire spells and not 'locked' with choices what you made with feats and pick spells which have fire type. But pick any spell and it becomes fire spell.

But are you fine with the idea that with my char he uses pair of combat gloves instead daggers as implement? Statically they work and function as daggers but look like pair of gloves with clawed finger tips (explain why he does slashing or piercing dmg with his melee attacks). Only advantage perhaps being that he cannot be disarmed from his weapons as they are gloves. But I recall there was not many or none powers which disarmed foe their weapons but there was abilities which targeted held weapons (and those would function normally even against combat gloves)."

Their empire seeks world domination and has been over a century been aggressive military campaign. The empire resides in far south of the contingent. Their armies employ besides well trained humans enslaved monsters (ogres, dire beasts etc), lawful outsiders (devils rare) and warforged. Whole empire is racist towards non-humans and they consider humans who associate with other faiths or with non-humans uneducated, but if other humans resist to submit to glory of Zarus they do not hesitate label person as heretic pagan and burn, hang or slice their heads off (or do all three if amused creative executioner is involved). Because of this most nations fight and ally themselves against Saurin armies which are relatively too small to keep their conquered territories for long nor they practice raiding (but assassinations or small groups in specific missions possible). Altough religion disdains non-humans they most of time aim enslave than kill non-humans. Empire is ruled by emperor who is considered as chosen of Zarus. Same emperor has ruled since founding of the empire so far. But besides that a religious monarchy rules their lands.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Shattered Vale</strong></span><br/><br/>Long time ago tiefling empire and dragonborn fought each other for dominance of the world, tieflings being the conquerors and dragonborn as slaves of dragon empire. They greatest conflict occurred in place which is known as Shattered Vale, which was former capital of the tiefling empire. In the war dragon empire had got upper hand and managed launch full siege on the capital and tiefling empire was loosing the war, but it's warlock king had determined bring enemies to hell with him and empire! He performed ritual which broke boundaries between the planes and created dark rift which directly connected to hell itself! As result both armies were wiped out and former capital of tiefling was shattered into floating ruins. Even today there is strong planar activity in the site and place is covered in dark magic. All buildings however are surprisingly well preserved altough ruined from initial rift forming. The ancient tiefling empire invites bold adventurers to enter the ruins for treasures or long forgotten secrets of the tiefling empire or recover artifacts related to dragon empire. However the several resident devils, who are territorial sort of folk, dislike intruders in their domains. Rumors has it there are nine powerful devils ruling the remaining 12 wards of the tiefling capital. Each ward having three levels and three districts in each layer."

I recall general ruling was that 'any spell which has no range does not provoke oppoturnity attack'.

I do want all four (or six) players involved to agree on the matter beforehand. I imagine some of the demons would be rather... possessive towards their Witch partners.<br/><br/>If the available Demons aren't really your cup of taste, talk with their owners to see if you can find some middle ground. If you can't settle with any of the remaining Demons and/or their players, then you could look for other types of Demons.<br/><br/>I do understand the time and effort the Demon players have put in writing down their Demon characters, so understandably, it would be nice if you could get to an agreement with one of them. However, if the link between you and the other player simply is not there, then don't force yourself to play a partnership that you're not into, and look for other players to play your Demon character.

As your characters won't have much say in the matter who gets partnered to whom, I want you as players to settle for someone you can work with as a player. How your character reacts to your Demon partner is something we'll explore in IC and it is ok regardless of her liking or hating it, as long as you the player are happy exploring the relationship.<br/><br/>As a general reminder, this story is not all about the link between the Witches and the Demons. That's just a present element in a bigger plot. While sex is likely to occur between some of the witch and demon characters, it is not a necessity. Similarly, sex is quite possible between player characters and NPCs and player characters and monsters, but neither has the focus of this story."

I'll see if I can start the secondary IC thread later tonight.<br/><br/>It will be a bit of threadhopping, but considering I wasn't planning on keeping everyone as one group, that'll have to happen either way.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>I like that idea, then we have a bit of a prologue to introduce our characters that we can look back on once we get properly started."

Omega is his spoken name he gives to others. Generally I type him out as Naburus though in character, since it is his birth name, but he would be referred to as Omega~ Unless by chance some other demon creature may know him as Naburus(highly unlikely). Just as he wouldn't know other demons true names either, other then his own caretaker/master.<br/><br/>Though probably a naming mixed up as well, since his authentic one is letter wise close to that old mage mans.<br/><br/>>.> *Types out reply*"

You just don't have the energy yourself.<br/><br/>You could rely on Drake's character's energy to teleport yourself out. Due too the mental link, Drake's character would know where you are. If he has an idea what you're trying to pull off, he can also block your access to his energy, which would result in your character making a fool out of herself without actually anything happening.<br/><br/>Do remember that so far, your studies have been entirely theoretical, and none of the apprentices has cast a spell before, so this will be a first for each of you."

The energy is channeled through your link. He needs to actively focus to block the energy.<br/><br/>If you give him reason not to trust him, and then try to cast a spell, you might not yet want to describe the spell's effect, because if you give him reason to block it, he might block it before you cast it."

If you want to play a vampire that runs about being immature because they have yet to grow up or manage their nature => Its a new one - likely one the older vampires will want to reign in or have done so already.<br/><hr/><br/>II) Agreement is made for time (either contemporary or Victorian era)<br/><hr/><br/>III) Dialogue is very useful => In your posts try and talking of what you thinking instead of just thinking it. ie ""think aloud when possible"" as it gives others hooks for their posts<br/><hr/><br/>IV) Although a system template will be adopted by some (perhaps all) I will use it to work out vague strengths and weakness only - how successful things are will be determined by.<br/><br/>1) Plot - if i want you to win or succeed to move the plot in a direction that will happen regardless<br/>2) How well you role play your character to be believable ( not liked or useful ... believable).<br/>( No dice rolls will occur (your ""dice role"" is how well you role play - so expect flippant posts to fail for things that are stressful, more success you want ? Write about how it is ...<br/><br/>So if I have a person shoot your character with a crossbow and it hits you in the chest and your down and out... but not dead please please no long string of ""but that wouldn't happen because Im too cool/too powerful / too prepared for that to be feasible or to ""be right with the rules"". Rules smooles, they are a guideline only, they will be likely ignored any time one sees fit<br/><hr/><br/>V) Each character will have the following traits:<br/><br/>- 1 - ""Quotes': common phrases your character is likely to say - this is a very good indication on what<br/>personality they have. (eg : ""You threatening me ? grrrr !"" ""Whatever hon ... good luck<br/>with that attitude"")<br/>- 2 - Quirks and Habits: Same reason above.<br/><hr/><br/>VI) Each character has several objectives that dont concern them becoming an all powerful ""creature"" which more or less stays true regardless of previous success on the endeavors - eg ""Love to paint"" / Want to acquire fine art / want to rule Germany behind the scenes / love building ships etc.<br/><hr/><br/>VII) Concerning the ""God moding"" option.<br/><br/>I would prefer if people refrain from God-moding too much.Its only an option when you are frustrated that your plot isnt moving and feel like posting but can't. If you have to wait a week or whatever what happens is you dont come back - the immersion is lost. Storytellers likely will god-mode characters (character preferably dont ... unless under extreme circumstances where no ST or honorary ST are about to resolve it). I dont think this will happen as much as some fear. Its just something I dont think bad of if there is a good reason and is done well. Its best done when ending a scene to move to the next.. ie if its safe to assume your moving elsewhere and your with someone (for mutual objective stuff).<br/><br/>EG: You can write<br/><br/>""When both <yourcharacter> and <anotherplayercharacter> finally found the crossroads <yourcharacter> sighed<br/>and threw his hat on the ground in frustration.... ""<br/><br/>(ie your god-moding your buddy has moved with you ... )<br/><br/>If <anotherplayercharacter> reads it and thinks ""But I wasn't going to I was going to go to City x"".. instead of<br/>getting annoyied they write<br/><br/>""Look <yourcharacter>, I have been thinking about this and somethign is urging me to resolve something elsewhere<br/>perhaps we can cross paths later ... but for this thing your on your own"" ... says <anotherplayercharacter><br/>before shaking their hand and turing their horse back in the direction of ...<br/><hr/><br/>VIII) Being vampires your used to having some cool thing going and it all disappears in a heart beat and you have to relocate and set yourself up again... this will likely happen... as frustrating as it is setting yourself up anew with another vamp or two could be good fun.<br/><hr/><br/>IX) Paranormal things do exist, creatures or entities and societies which are more powerful than vampires exist which facing dead on alone is suicide. I.e no matter how powerful you are or get your not ""king of the hill"".<br/>These things more or less will stay very mysterious - although it doesn't mean your character can't learn some weaknesses or their behavior about them.<br/><hr/><br/>X) If your character wants to make vampires which are enthralled under yours its ok, but it means you have to make another character in the character section - even if you don't really play them. This logistical overhead<br/>should be hassle enough to make most interested in role playing what they have.<br/><br/>- now the most important one..... (this is the experiment part)<br/><hr/><br/>XI) VERY soon it will be clear which players write alot and are decent writers as far as effort goes and realism -<br/>now if you think you see ANOTHER that is this - you say so in OOC - and that gives them HONORARY Storyteller powers. Which means that they can at ANY time (Without confirming with me first) ANYWHERE post as if the storyteller.... usually they will do so as they see a plot and get inspired... or see a choke points they wish to resolve - to me that inspiration / desire should be immediately adopted without hesitation or fear of pissing off the main story teller - if your deemed honorary ST ... its assumed whatever your going to do is in theme enough for more good than bad to happen.<br/><br/>In short this plan is to optimize<br/><br/>a) fast paced posting.<br/>b) Lessen the load on any one Storyteller (lessening the bias from one storyteller also)<br/>c) Remove choke points of waiting for a specific PLAYER or STORYTELLER.<br/><br/>At the jeopardy of<br/><br/>a) Detailed control over your characters actions<br/>b) Consistency with all rules defined by the system.<br/>c) Balance and fairness<br/><hr/><br/>XII) If you CAN find a photo realistic picture or art for a scene or action your doing Find it post it in the thread.<br/>More pictures the more believable the scene is, this isn't necessary and can be a hassle but you will adore it when you see others do so. You have a castle ? Cool ... what is it like - picture .... You have a four horse coach ? Fine ... picture. The more believable things seem the more I will approve with it.<br/><hr/><br/>XIII) If you personally have power issues or any issues concerning how things are turning out - no need to complain in OOC IF you can role play a resolution ( remember others may be aggressive/assumptions on your character - you can do likewise with the world for your objectives )<br/><hr/><br/>XIV) Feel free to hurt other characters or be devious to each other (as ideally your not all in the same house or clan) but dont discuss plans in OOC (let it stay a mystery for all) - discuss them in PMS with other vamps.<br/><hr/><br/>XV) Some players will have different kinks, sex scenes should be done in sub-threads linked from main ones in a manner that implies content. (eg EX / mul etc) ... put them in the right section .. and if its not your thing DON'T read them.<br/><hr/>"

According to the Malkavian Clanbook, Dementation was blocked by six of the oldest Malkavians who called for a gathering of the entire clan through the Malkavian Madness Network. This became known as The Great Prank, and strangely, no one else noticed that the Malkavians were gone. When almost all the Malkavians had been collected, they were changed.<br/>Roughly one-tenth of Malkavians did not attend for whatever reason, and as a result the clan was split into two parts - the changed and the unchanged. Those who had their grasp of Dementation blocked remained part of the main clan, while those who refused to do so became known as the antitribu - most of whom later joined the Sabbat.<br/><br/>so does anyone mind me playing a bloodline descendent from one of the ones that didnt go sabbat...or should i switch to dominate?"

Being over a hundred years old he had advanced to the second level in each but when he was Embraced and his memory was largely cleared, he forgot about his earlier powers.<br/>However, since Kate wrote that Stráž could see the aura of that vial I decided that it was a good opportunity to have him remember one of his earlier Disciplines and I've now added it to his character sheet.<br/><br/>Hope you're all okay with that."

It makes sense to me that at least water would still be vital - ie they can still die of dehydration - but perhaps can enter some<br/>semi-catatonic states at whim and slow down all biofunctions in times of emergency or lack of anything else. It would also be likely that oxygen would still be useful - ie drowning would be possible - UNLESS the creature entered its catatonic state - so if it didnt want to drown it could ""hibernate"" - and ""the panic reflex"" could be replaced with a hibernation reflex - which would explain why some thing they ""killed the vampire"" only it to return from the ""dead"" days later.. as in deep hibernation / coma some pulses are too weak to sense (eyes will not react to light etc).<br/><br/>I know this doesnt cover turning into bats or whatever .. nor am i saying I will impose all these as house rules, but not being able to drink water or be effected by alcohol unless the victum had it in ist bloodstream to me feels silly, as there woudl be nothign really different to the blood itself if someone just stirred elthonol alcohol into a cup of blood vs getting someone REALLY drunk then spilling their blood (the alcohol isnt within the bloodcells - its part of the blood plasma (the sea of ""else' the red blood cells are in).<br/><br/>So house rule<br/><br/>Drugs / alcohol / water can be digested normally without expelling stuff ... but some drugs may not have the same effect... especially narcotics.<br/><br/>(and vomiting ""ash"" => dried blood flakes or red ash - ie the vampire lives primarily on blood plasma - AS THE BODY has lost its ability to create it itself (and as u can imagine its pretty useful if you want some organs to work as its the only real nutrient circuit within most creatures including mammals )<br/>"

The fields outside it are always trafficked by pilgrims and worshipers, but on this day they see even more footfalls as a large number of strangers gather for the ceremony. <br/><br/>Vendors and entertainers stand ready to serve any wealthy travelers waiting to bear witness, and the priesthood busily hands out food and drink to the volunteers lending aid. The six adventurers among the lot are different though, called on a different purpose. A personal summons from the high priest is what brought them here, and through piousness, good deeds, or the promise of wealth, each of them has come along to speak with him at length about the duties he wishes them to perform. <br/><br/>No one has been called back to see the high priest yet, and all inquirers have gotten the same answer. <strong>""The fountain of silver tears is currently being readied for the ceremony. The high priest will see to you when it is finished.""</strong> Not the model response that could be hoped for, but in the mean time plenty of entertainment awaits the party. Various performers are putting on shows for the volunteers, and there are no shortage of handsome and pretty acolytes ready to serve food or drink to those who wait.</em>"

Her travels had brought her many places, and this was yet another of the beautiful places that always beckoned her. Today however was different, more people than normal surrounded the temple, vendors, strangers and even more priests than usual prepared for the day to come. Glancing around Aria stretched lightly, thinking upon her summons. Of all the places she'd been, this was on of the the better. Leaning back on a small bench she gazed up at the temple.<br/><br/>This had been one of her first temples to visit when she was younger. Resting back some she shifted her quiver for comfort as she brushed her fingers over her mage gown. She had met with the high priest only once before, and it had been a brief encounter. It had been nearly 10 years since then.<strong>My how time flies...</strong>she said to no one in particular as she looked around enjoying the sites.<br/><br/>She half wondered where her companion had run off to, she knew he was here somewhere. Where there were people he was off causing trouble. Brushing her fingers through her hair, she pushed her red tendrils from her shoulders, exposing her smooth silking skin. Her green eyes searched the area, keeping an eye out, the last thing she wanted was a thief to take advantage of the celebration and weary travelers. After all she did travel with one frequently. She smiled again at that memory though refused herself the time to get lost in it.<br/><br/>She gave a small nod to a couple making their way towards the temple, her fingers came up to brush along her brooch (http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/CowGoil08/brooch.jpg) in reverence. Their own symbols of Caydin bouncing around their necks. There was something about being in the temple of her creator that made her feel more at peace than she had been in sometime. Sometimes she felt as though her beliefs had been split however she'd found the balance she'd craved. She only wished that her summons was not pulling at her mind. She wished to know the true nature of it, what she had been called away from her adventures for. It was driving her mad and she wasn't sure how much longer she could sit still."

Silence surrounds the group then, the only thing of note being the bell that is obviously supposed to be used to summon the servants if they are needed.<br/><br/>It's a few moments before the door to the back of the temple is opened, and a different priestess waves for the High-Priest.<strong>""Your grace, we have the guests prepared to see you.""</strong>The Half-elf smiles at her words, and waves for Seladin to come along.<strong>""That's our cue.

Hopefully this welcoming with Arcadia will help to solve those issues, but another matter has to be settled before it can start.

One always wonders whether that statue leaning down to pet an invisible chicken was once human or not. It was a warning if there ever was one not to try and steal from the hen house either way if there was a real cockatrice inside of those things. Torhan opens the door and lets Pipra go in first whilst taking a quiet look around the area for the moment. Simple travelers be they pilgrim or not, seated about and intermingled with the locals. Each of them with stories all their own and prospects and hopes to accomplish, small or large. Trades of many sorts could take place here if one knows where to look of course. Whether or not you can find them however is a guess all onto itself.

It had driven her to the point of insanity in trying to find the one individual she was tracking, and what was worst was the fact she had more to deal with. She let out a soft sigh as she looked down towards the table before stuffing the fork with a piece of meat on the end into her mouth. A warm smile seemed to appear just as quickly as her distress at the situation had passed through her mind. The blonde seemed a little out of place there.

Still she saw no need to hide away her equipment.<br/><br/>Her blades were relatively easy to spot on her resting in their sheaths. While weapons were not that unusual to see, the fact her blades had a rather noticeable curve made them stick out to the usual. Both blades rested at each side of her, hanging on either side of her chair in their sheaths. They were attached to her belt rather snuggly, remaining relatively stuff from the way they were locked in place, though still making some slightly movement as she shuffled in her seat, apparent they were able to be adjusted to better be withdrawn quickly and comfortably. It only made the girl look that much more odd to any onlooker. Many wouldn't expect a girl like her to be carrying a weapon of that style, never mind two.

She flicked her head to the side a bit as she lifted her hand gently brushing it to the side as it slipped over to the back of the chair in a much more comfortable position. Her blue eyes lingered over rather curiously as she noticed a crowd seemed to be gathering nearby. She stared a bit curiously yet not exerting herself in any way to react to it.

The blonde looked over hearing first the girl chime in before the rather 'bold' man had taken his turn. She heard his view on the matter only assuming it wasn't in his interest to lie about something like that. Her expression changed to be a bit more firm as she had a more serious face upon her now. While she wasn't quite sure of her own logic behind it, she had a feeling that working with the two 'trouble makers' would likely be in her best interest. Unlike everyone else, they seemed rather immune to the effects of the odor from what she could tell off a first glance. Her head turned as she looked over towards the door. Whatever the smell was coming from, she suspected that it wasn't likely being created directly in that room but rather seeped into it. It was rather difficult to really pin point the source of a smell to her. No matter how well she was at using tracking, detecting the location of a smell was much more troublesome when it was in such light quantity, and rather foolish considering the fact it seemed to be causing an odd effect for smelling it.<br/><br/>Her blonde hair flowed in motion with her head as she turned back towards the two. While she couldn't pinpoint the direction, if she did some searching and careful investigating it shouldn't be to hard to find more clues to help pinpoint the source.<strong>""Lets go find what is causing this.""</strong>She spoke simply as she began to walk forward heading towards the door. She looked back towards the man as she seemed to fumble for words to use, not knowing his name at the moment. While she would normally ask such a question right away, at the moment of urgency it seemed better to hold off for now.<strong>""You... lecher... the guy...""</strong>She spoke out a little bit awkwardly as her very seemed to react in that fashion of her limited choice of words she could figure out to use to call him out separately, not at all assuming him to have actually called out his own name when he spoke.<strong>""How does the poison work in terms of getting the odor to spread over a larger area to cause it to affect people? Is it burned so we can follow a possible smoke trail or the smell of a fire?""</strong>She questioned him as she walked to the door before opening it up, hopefully to allow some of the odor to escape while creating a way to see if its possible the smell was coming from outside."

Panic is growing from there, but despite this all the rogue recalls the flower from his mind. Sylvan lily, as the fey call it.

She kept her hand resting along the handle of her blade as she was prepared to quickly draw her weapon should anything attempt to attack. The way the things seemed to play out only made her mind think that it was possible it was trying to be purposely seen to lure them into a trap. She made sure to keep on guard while observant to see where the one who ran off went to. She couldn't get the nipping feeling in the back of her head that something was very fishy about it. She knew there had to be some reason behind why they would do such a thing as try to poison everyone in the tavern and try to make a quick escape.<br/><br/>"

Most said folks would develop psychic powers which focus on empathy, some said aliens will come and some other said some permanent physical change will occur on earth or in sun itself. But none likely think they all were correct and wrong same time! Five years the laws which keeps dimensions, bubble dimensions and alternative realities separated from each other shattered! Leading to several dimensions form spontaneous rifts, portals and openings to normal earth world and some cases they merged even!<br/><br/>Chaos, panic, madness and confusion spread like wildfire. There was thousands struggles all across the world. Japan fought against demon invasion and lost Tokio to demons as the demons main gate resists in Tokio. In Europe elves, gnomes and dwarves started pop up from locked dimensions where they had secluded years ago and dragons awakened from centuries slumber and went to rampage on several countrysides! In America they witnessed rise of zombies led by vampires from alternative earth and they took over latin america in entirety. Many people spontaneously started use magic or psychic powers when dimensions opened and normal humans who had affinity to those stuff started mad experiments. In one case one depressed teenage student used his new powers blow up New York which is now haunted by ghosts of the massive magical blast which eradictated all life but left buildings intact.<br/><br/>Top of all this then several alien factions came through worm gates to witness and study this phemomemon!

Overall; whole earth was a mess and rest intelligent universe watches from afar what is going to happen next in world which is already labeled area as; 'Riftspace'.<br/><br/>Story starts in new human capital of Atlantia. It is ruled by terrans, which basically means 'original humans from dimension A' which means people who were normal and regular without aliens or magic powers before dimensions blended. Among citizen are people who have magic powers and psychic powers. Also terrans cooperate with the space faction federation to help keep order and try form relations to elsewhere in the universe which had been since five years ago not existed. Rest universe was aware of Earth but they chose not interact because it was very primal planet by their standards with uneducated close minded hostile people. But rest universe, especially space federation, has no choice than to interfere and quickly educate terrans become worthy member to their federation and interfere with Zargeths weapon industrial plans with kidnapped terrans and other dimension inhabitants.<br/><br/>Atlantia is labeled as neutral meeting ground to all dimension fixed population but in practice it's easier said than done. As terrans have little symphaty for flesh eatting demon or blood drinking vampires or tentacle aliens. But there is peculiar club which existed in the spot where Atlantia was rapidly build around it. No one knows why or how, but oddly city designers just circled around the mysterious location. The club is known as<em><strong>Thousand Shards</strong></em>nightclub. It looks shady poor club outside, but inside it is top modern nightclub with celtic and even victorian influences here and there! Not to mention occupants which come from all sorts of dimensions to hang out as oddly place calls them pay visit at least once! Like in city the place is neutral ground but unlike with city the place has means to enforce their policy rules.<br/><br/>Owner of the club is...surprising.....a ten or twelve year old kid!<br/><br/>(Pic of him)<br/>(http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/9465/xenegirn0.jpg)<br/><br/>He wears in club dark purple clothes and pair of glasses. Also he uses dark cane with ruby in end which he does not really need for walking but uses rather as lift device to leap up to sit on bar chairs and tables to talk people. He is quite mature for his appearances, perhaps even playfully naive way. However the one who holds the order is his companion, most saying it is his bodyguard but some say it could be his lover (the heart broken perverts saying that tough). His companion is lady Reyna, her origin is unknown but her stalkers in webs had said their 'research' (questionable as it is) say she comes from the moon and despite her ears look attached by golden buttons in truth her ears are real and buttons are like piercings to her.

He'd been 'on Earth' for a little over a year, long enough to get settled and pick up a few local customs but he was still essentially ignorant of the world.<br/><br/>What he'd learned was that this was a world without magic until four years prior to his arrival. The natives had technology more advanced than anything he had dreamed of back home; their cities were gleaming spires of metal and glass instead of wood and stone. They used strange golem-boxes they called ""computers"" for...Ryvaken still wasn't sure what they did. Markets were as big as a fae city and gleamed like temples. Flameless torches lit the night for human eyes. Loud carriages that glowed with heat-light moved people around faster than any riding beast. All this Ryvaken knew, although he'd lie to say he understood.<br/><br/>But then, the native humans had much they didn't understand. As advanced as they were, they were suddenly surrounded by even more advanced peoples, and under something of an invasion from races they believed to be magical. The rules had changed on them, and they reacted the way any sane, intelligent culture would. By deciding what was important to preserve and getting ready to fight to the last man to preserve it. The siege mentality would probably last a generation, maybe two, before they'd reach a new equilibrium with the new world. Well, maybe less. Humans were surprisingly malleable under stress.<br/><br/>But all that philosophical pondering could wait until he was dead. Truth was he understood the siege mentality; he was cut off from his home with no hope of return, the only one of his people in this world, and fate had decided to drop him off on the outskirts of one of the most xenophobic cities to exist. He had a<em>shaek</em>there; a home hollowed into the trunk of a living tree. American white ash, to be precise. He hunted to survive; rodents and small birds seemed to love these strange human cities. Of late he had even managed to put together a brewer to indulge in the occasional cup of<em>giusa</em>. Brewed bark shavings were not high on the list of human pleasures, but anyone that thought he was human was drunk or high.<br/><br/>Hunting had been good lately and he had enough mouse to cover half a month, so Ryvaken was exploring the city. Most of the population had no idea he existed; few humans thought to look for six inch tall interlopers, and almost as few thought to look more than a few degrees above eye level. And it wasn't like the vermin he hunted or the water he collected would be missed. It was how he liked it; not the isolation so much as the control. Everyone was a potential threat, anyone could be a friend, and the only way to find the right anyone was to control who found out about him first.<br/><br/>Today his exploration brought him to the<em>Thousand Shards</em>. Getting inside was a simple matter of acting like he belonged there; with such an eclectic crowd of beings, one more exotic barely raised an eyebrow at the door. Once inside he simply vanished into the background and made his way to the ceiling to get a good look at what was where. He chose a particularly decorative bit of molding for his perch, preferably in the shadows behind a light where he would be practically invisible."

The Prime Material, or mortal world, lies in the center, a connecting point between the outer limits. Above it lies the heavens, Ruled by Elora the Queen of angels. Below it Rests hell, Ruled by Odysseus the King of Devils. The outer left spectrum consists of the Abyss, Ruled by Adelle the Mistress of Demons. And finally The outer Right Spectrum is Olypmia, ruled by Caydin the Prince of Eladrin. <br/><br/>It is taught by the churches that the Prime Material world was created when a war seethed between the four outer realms. Elora allied with her consort Caydin, and Odysseus subdued the aid of his lover Adelle. Despite the alliances, fighting between planes soon became tiresome for the divine beings, and so they created a battleground between them, and thus spawned the world of Aldroth. There they sought to exploit their ambitions to rule the other, and created Mortal servants to serve as their soldiers in the battle. <br/><br/>Despite how the four gods designed them, these soldiers were not the mindless beings they had hoped for. Capable of the same sentience their otherworldy brethren were, they soon started to think and act of their own. Elora and Caydin found themselves struck by their emotions, having trouble putting what they now seen as their children through such horrors for the sake of their own greed. Adelle and Odysseus didn't feel the same, though, and when the goodly gods wills faltered, they took the opportunity to strike at their weak hearts. <br/><br/>For the first time the battle had shifted, and the horrors of the outer planes were winning. Still struck by grief for letting this happen to her children, Elora wept while Caydin tried to form a plan to drive the hordes back. It seemed hopeless, until four exceptional children of the gods seemingly stepped out from Elora's tears. These four heroes lead the armies of all the gods, one from each plane to drive the otherworldly forces back. It's said Elora's tears were wiped away by their deeds, and with the blessing of the two beings of good they were able to banish the otherworldy forces behind a veil. It's that veil that keeps the beings of evil from continuing their war, and from that veil the beings of good lay their blessings upon the world.<br/><br/></span><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: comic sans ms;"">The Setting Today</span></strong></span></div><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: comic sans ms;"">Aldroth is now a world of Light and Darkness. Though it's been millenniums since the war between the planes raged, the faces of the gods still rule the land. The races created by Elora and Caydin still worship them for guidance and blessings, and despite the actions of the heroes of old, the races created by Adelle and Odysseus have started to once again give their vile creators power through reverence. This reverence goes so far that every Country in the world is modeled after the lore of one of the outer worlds, even if their beliefs do not match those that rule them.<br/><br/>In a land of such piety disrespect of the gods is heresy, and despite the division years ago wars still rage in the name of the creators. Our focus currently comes to the Monarch of Kimaria, the largest country modeled after the will of Elora. The Church of the Heavens reigns supreme here, even having a say in the military. The personal guard of the King and Queen is chosen from holy warriors trained in the monasteries of the church, and the country known as the biggest beacon of light on the continent is held just like the Heavens, always under constant threat from the dark.<br/><br/>The smooth planes Kimaria is settled on are surrounded by the savage races, the creations of the dark ones. This has the monarch at a near constant threat of danger, and the military is constantly holding it's borders against the hordes that surround it. With their only ally being the Republic of Arcadia to the west, modeled after Olympia itself, it seems that the beacon of light is near doomed to fall. This is why Kimaria is a land where bravery is respected, where adventurers have a place in aid of the church and country, or in the service of the dark hordes. A land truly modeled after the world, a land caught between the the forces of light and dark.<br/><br/></span><div align=""center""><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: comic sans ms;"">The Basic Plot</span></span></strong></div><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: comic sans ms;"">Now we focus on the adventure at hand. A darkness has started to blanket the western part of Kamaria, forcing it to call aid from the nearby Republic of Arcadia. They gather 'round for a ceremony to welcome the Arcadian emissaries, a reverence to the union their two gods have. Gathered around are those from all walks of life(the party among them)to help play their part in the ceremony. Guardians, practitioners, seers, and more gather to ensure aid comes to the land. <br/><br/>The forces of darkness, however, will not sit idle while the servants of heaven call aid. In the shadows they rally, gathering their strength to sabotage the union between the gods of good. History repeats itself, and as such four among the masses will rise to meet this challenge. Will they manage to stem the tide of evil, will they find the truth behind the light and dark of the world like the heroes of old? Or will they falter, fail before the coming horrors, a tide much more heavy then anything the simple hordes could hope to imagine? </span>"

Such as for your character, when using power attack he would gain a +6 total bonus to his damage roll, and because of Furious Focus he would not take the normal penalty to attack rolls. I think that is what the feat does anyhow.<br/><br/>So, yeah, you can't deplete nearly your entire base attack for extra damage now, but that also means you don't have to sacrifice extra attacks to use the feat like you use to. A good cross over, in my opinion."

Also, melee is getting somewhat filled. We have three characters that will primarily be in melee, the fighter the paladin, and the rogue. These are good combos since it gives a close person to heal them, support from sneak attack, and then the fighters two weapon badassery.<br/><br/>What we need is another ranged combatant, in fact an archery ranger could really spice it up.

Your two traits are fine though.<br/>@Nicci: I like you adjusted the body slots, but you still have the issue of the areas your AC bonuses are located. Are you simply wanting the ring of protect to give you a dodge bonus rather then a deflection?

Now we have some issues with your character. The way you did the spells has me confused. I think you were listing what spells you had in your spellbook. Please list your spellbook in your other notes area for me. Also, note that on pathfinder you get an automatic +3 on trained skills, and the cap for you maximum skills are equal to your character level. You also do not get times four at first level. Please reallocate your skills to fit this, as I know this is your first PF game.<br/><br/>I must also make a note on spellcasters that memorize their spells. Cantrips have been changed to at will spells once you've memorized them. I think you'll also notice that you get some cool abilities for the specializations that make up for the loss of your magic schools. The arcane Archer has also been remade better, so I'd like you to take a look at it on the SRD.<br/><br/>Note also that you need to select a favored class. Unlike on 3.5 you do not take multiclass penalties, you just take a favored class and gain either +1 extra skill points per level, or +1 extra hp per level. Make sure to calculate that in. If you have trouble finding the information, or simply need something clarified, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM."

Also, I never specified, which while I had meant for it to be, it would now seem choppy that one person has already posted first person twice. I really need to start specifying more. I'll make a note of that for this next game I make.<br/><br/>Now my only big complaint so far is you guys not waiting for me. Simple, small interactions are fine, if you're getting them out of the way. Though limit it to two-three posts between my sequences, and so long as people are keeping up with my posting law, don't leave em behind. That day skips, I'll say they delay, at which point you are free to move ahead.<br/><br/>PS: Setting down some more hard faced posting rules so I don't have this happen again."

The details were important to the job so he gave them his rapt attentions but nothing else. He took his treasure hunting seriously and that would be enough for him. On occasion Torhan did also a few tricks with the grapes catching the grapes in his mouth and the coin in his hand just to show off. Once he had finished Torhan stands up taking a few grapes and then stands up approaching the priest. He had all he wanted to hear. <br/><br/>Torhan would smile as he then says <strong>""That all I needed to know. You have yourself a deal. I'll take a look at the note when you are ready. If your not I'm gonna go and enjoy the fruits of civilization as some ladies put it.

He also did a careful look at the ink used possibly trying to get any details he can out of it. He just whistled also a nice tune whilst he did it as if this had been done by the thief all too often. Then again he was very childish and whimsical in his actions so he may have been doing it to keep himself bored. <br/><br/>Once that was done Torhan politely excused himself. But if he couldn't see the note he would head on out to join Anarchy and Pipra as he could use the excuse to have a bit of enjoyment. <strong>""Might as well take you up on that offer then.""</strong> Torhan would seem absolutely relaxed as he would continue along with them like a puppy.

If interacting with important NPC's seems boring to you, then I'm afraid to say you're going to be bored a vast majority of the time.

If anyone has issues with that, I think you're simply expecting something different from the game then I intended, and we should talk about it before it becomes an issue."

The details were important to the job so he gave them his rapt attentions but nothing else. He took his treasure hunting seriously and that would be enough for him. On occasion Torhan did also a few tricks with the grapes catching the grapes in his mouth and the coin in his hand just to show off. Once he had finished Torhan stands up taking a few grapes and then stands up approaching the priest. He had all he wanted to hear. <br/><br/>Torhan would smile as he then says <strong>""That all I needed to know. You have yourself a deal. I'll take a look at the note when you are ready. If your not I'm gonna go and enjoy the fruits of civilization as some ladies put it. Though that wouldn't be all of it.""</strong> He said as he would have a look at the note in question and takes a a look at it, seeing what kind of parchment it was made from by taste and also inspecting the handwriting and penmanship. He also did a careful look at the ink used possibly trying to get any details he can out of it. He just whistled also a nice tune whilst he did it as if this had been done by the thief all too often. Then again he was very childish and whimsical in his actions so he may have been doing it to keep himself bored. <br/><br/>Once that was done Torhan politely excused himself. But if he couldn't see the note he would head on out to join Anarchy and Pipra as he could use the excuse to have a bit of enjoyment. <strong>""Might as well take you up on that offer then.""</strong> Torhan would seem absolutely relaxed as he would continue along with them like a puppy.

Some players are trouble with it, and others don't give it any thought.<br/><br/>Like I could make a fuss, and tell a few of you I don't think your alignment fits in my head.

There are some things harder to play the others. Evil is the most in my opinion, as the level of callousness needed isn't present in most people. Law is easily put to a personal code, even in the case of lawful good. I've delved deep into the pits of this because of so many disruptive players that try to use their alignments as a way to justify stupid actions. The words I hate the most are ""I'm just playing my character!.""<br/><br/>Now, any alignment is hard to use as a guideline for someone that doesn't understand or can't relate to it.

Basically those who served him ended up getting in good as well. Just cause you have greed doesn't necessarily make you evil or neutral. Its really align the lines of how those traits define you. The best character designs I feel always have one of the seven deadly sins as part of their makeup. You add any one or two to them and you make a character that much more interesting. Its not the only way of course to do that, but those alone tend to always give them more 'bang for the buck'.<br/><br/>Really I think with an alignment system on here, its really set up as 'two part' really to help out with giving an idea about them.

Basically those who served him ended up getting in good as well. Just cause you have greed doesn't necessarily make you evil or neutral. Its really align the lines of how those traits define you. The best character designs I feel always have one of the seven deadly sins as part of their makeup. You add any one or two to them and you make a character that much more interesting. Its not the only way of course to do that, but those alone tend to always give them more 'bang for the buck'. <br/><br/>Really I think with an alignment system on here, its really set up as 'two part' really to help out with giving an idea about them.

Rather then kill two people he has his sights upon, he sends a friend of the two (one that girl actually has a crush on) to kill both of them. In that matter, he actually expects the one target she is sent to kill to actually kill her instead eliminating her. Basically he sends a subordinate out knowing she has a connection with the two in hopes that one is possibly killed while the other kills his subordinate just to get another person out of the way. I mean that, and he basically created the beast that ravaged the world in the past timelines, which he actually had been one of the people to destroy it.<br/><br/>To sum it up further using only terms, he is as much of a 'troll' as you can get.

I hate elitism, but all you have technically done is a standard action. A full round is six seconds. As far as what I'm telling you to do, that is merely giving the other writers something to write to. I've mentioned the same thing to changingsaint. If you decide that a full paragraph in a critical moment is enough for several rounds of actions, then I'll simply ignore those that do not count.<br/><br/>Now onto another issue. Despite your disclaimer at the bottom, I do not appreciate being the butt end of your rant. A full sentence can not be one word, try to give that a publisher and see what happens. A sentence by definition, is simply a full thought. You could technically have at-least six of these in a six second period. Your mage armor is a standard action, while yes that could be your full round, if I let people do this on occasion then it'll simply become a trend, and we won't get anything done because I don't have time to post here all damn day.<br/><br/>I don't see why you blew up at me for what I said, especially after giving unasked critique to the other players, but I do not appreciate it. What is wrong? Are you upset about something? If you are, please private message me with what is egging at you so we do not butt heads in the OOC."

I hate elitism, but all you have technically done is a standard action. A full round is six seconds. As far as what I'm telling you to do, that is merely giving the other writers something to write to. I've mentioned the same thing to changingsaint.

Despite your disclaimer at the bottom, I do not appreciate being the butt end of your rant. A full sentence can not be one word, try to give that a publisher and see what happens. A sentence by definition, is simply a full thought. You could technically have at-least six of these in a six second period.

The only reason I did not read your last reply before I calmed down is that I felt you were simply arguing with me.

Granted I wasn't 100% correct in the full extent I was just trying to give my point on it. <br/><br/>All I want to add is that if you criticize other people's writings, you should be open to hear it about yours. I don't mind you pointing out problems with my post at all, i really don't. I find it helpful, I know full well I screw up in posts with often times stupid parts to it. The big issue I have is if you point out errors in someone's writing and make it a point that it sticks out and its well known to everyone, that you can't simply shrug off what everyone else might say to you and argue against it. I had no intentions of pointing out what I find wrong with what your doing at all and the only reason you made me feel at all frustrated and made me feel the need to try to point out what howling was saying was by the sheer fact that you had commented about my writing and then you felt the need to argue completely against it as if you had immunity. <br/><br/>As howling said, we all make mistakes. I personally don't mind if you point out problems with a post but you have to be thoughtful that you are going to open yourself up and have to accept that people should have that same right to do it back to you. Anything mentioned about how someone writes should not be taken as a negative point but as something you can use to improve upon your writing. Last I checked none of us are world renown writers, and even if we were, we would have an editor behind us to fix up our own screw ups and get things published correct. :)<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>""I pointed out and issue with your grammar, which is objective. I can say, definitively, that your grammar is incorrect. You cannot, however, objectively comment on my style of writing. You can say whether YOU like it or not, but not whether or not it is correct.

If a weapon has a special ability that the user needs to activate, then the user usually needs to utter a command word (a standard action). A character can activate the special abilities of 50 pieces of ammunition at the same time, assuming each piece has identical abilities.</em><br/><br/>ExisD<br/><br/>I know most GMs omit this rule, but it's actually a balancing factor. Most of the time it's a bad idea to keep a property activated at all times, after all a flaming sword doesn't hurt you and your equipment, but having fire radiating from your sheath makes people edgy and has a certain tendency to set buildings on fire when hung or walls, or burn wholes in the floor. With ranged weapons, the effect is pretty much just bestowed upon the ammunition as it's fired. So that issue doesn't come up until the arrow is notched.<br/><br/>Which brings me to my question. Does Pipra have the command word active at all times, as it only stops when deactivated."

I love the setting, but am constantly at war with the mechanics.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>That's actually pretty dead on. So is your after note though. It really is broken if everyone doesn't know what they are doing. Also, ST rulings come into conflict, and you also have that it's all that well described.<br/><br/>EDIT: Mechanics are okay if you can come to a decent decision on what they mean half the time, but the setting is my entire problem half the time. Though this is coming from someone who can't use premade settings, so yeah..."

dreamer.  Nothing was really worth his time unless it related to his fantasies.  He didn’t want to disappoint his parents, so he doodled notes for interesting classes in Manga form so he wouldn’t forget them.  English became especially interesting when he started translating English books into Japanese Manga.  He also liked Kendo club because he could pretend to be a samurai.  He was a gentle hearted, disheveled boy.  One day, when he was a freshmen in high school, he caught some of the upper classmen molesting a girl in his class he liked to sketch.  He felt things he’d never felt before.  Anger.  Focus.  Engergy.<br/>He took his Shinai from his bag and drove the boys away.  When he gave the girl his jacket and walked her home, he went to talk to his uncle and asked him why everything was so very clear.<br/>Uncle Hotoro smiled and replied.<br/>“You know what is worth fighting for.”<br/><br/><strong>What Shaped you?</strong><br/>Arima spent his next two years of high school flooded with ambition, rising to the top of his Kendo Club and deciding out of the blue to get into the prestigious Tokyo University.  He dressed better, got fantastic grades, and continued to do well with his art.  He finished his manga translation of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time up to book Six.<br/>At his high school graduation, with pride and ambition he ran to the standardized test boards to see if he’d scored high enough to be admitted to Tokyo University, and found himself 13% too low in his scores.<br/>Face fallen and dragging his heart behind him, he made his way home at what felt like a limp, only to find a sophomore girl being harassed by a number of thugs a few blocks away from Uncle Hotoro’s temple.  He growled, finding his focus returning, heart racing, the world slowing.  His shinai waas in his hand and he introduced himself to the thugs like a kabuki hero, imagining klacks of the ki, landing three painful strikes and doubling one over before they dogpiled him.  The sophomore girl ran, screaming for help, and he curled into a ball to survive the rain of blows.  Then he heard blows landing that weren’t striking him.  A few moments after the blows stopped, he looked up and accepted a hand from Uncle Hotoro, who held his Shinai.  “Not bad, Nephew.  You gave the girl time to run.  You might have called for help first against that number.”<br/>On his feet now, Arima groaned out something.<br/>“What’s that?  Breath, nephew.”<br/>He tried again, and it came out.  “I want to grow stronger.”  And he was smiling.<br/>His uncle grinned too, “Then you’re ready.”<br/><br/><strong>What was your first adventure:  </strong><br/>While studying at an institute for Manga-ka (graphic novel writers) Arima spent a a few hours every day learning wizardy from his uncle.  Evocation he related too as swordplay, he was just directing natural forces instead of steel.  Thaumaturgy he related too as art, creating something from nothing by assembling imagination, ink, and words with a brush.<br/>Hotoro was a bit disturbed by how he performed Thaumaturgy if given a chance.  No man he knew started the diagram from 3 or more difrent points and brought them together.  He did know one woman who worked that way, however, and he asked her for some help.  She came to visit from time to time, making sure Arima didn’t learn anything wrong because of teacher miscommunication, though all she could explain about why she and Arima drew their diagrams from multiple points instead of starting at the beginning and proceeding to the end was, “Well, I’m a woman and he’s left handed.”<br/>Hotoro and a few of his friends investigated activity from a cult that was performing large scale vandalism with blood in the paint.  They worked up a model of the signs on a district map and they still made no sense to Hotoro and hi friends, but Arima took a piece of paper and sketched together the ways it could finish ‘til they found what the cult was trying to summon.<br/>“Creativity is just looking at something from several different sides at the same time,” he explained.<br/><br/><strong>What Was Your First Adventure</strong><br/>Arima reached the anime expo. The place is full of people cosplaying their favorite characters.  There is a cosplay to most of the famous anime in that time. Naruto is getting a lot of fame as well as Bleach.<br/>Arima’s press badge was prominently displayed on a boy’s school uniform from the anime Mai Hime, though people might wonder what kind of reporter came with sketch pad and notebook rather than cameras and tape recorders in this day and age.<br/>You managed to get inside the building and there is a lot of stuff to see. From woman in skimpy dresses to people dressed like Naruto, Ichigo and even Sakura. You know that you must interview as many people as you can in order to get their views on the event. A lot of rare and valuable anime manga are being sold everywhere and there are bouncers in ever store to make sure nothing is stolen.<br/>Arima strolled the floors, watching.  He began wiht costumes, looking for particularly impressive ones and trying begining interviews by praising the costumes, asking who made them, what they liked about the charecters, wether they collected all the comics or waited for trade paperback and anime forms.  He made no secret that he was doing a column for shonen jump, but only plugged his own stories if asked.  He ended each interview by asking if he could draw the cossplayer.  When permited, his pencil flew, but produced art that never failed to satifsy him or the interviewie, nor to capture what he thought was special about their costume.<br/>As you are drawing a kid who had a amazing sasuke costume you do notice a woman, her hair was long and black and she had black lipstick and piercings on her nose and lower lip. The woman was approached by a girl that seemed to be lost in a trance as the girl followed the woman into a backroom.<br/>Letting his pencil pause, Arima arched an eyebrow and let his third eye open gingerly, hoping it would still his fancies about ‘White Court Vampires’ from his uncle’s stories.<br/>A couple of minutes later the girl came out, his body seemed to be ravished by something and her clothes were torn and broken. Stains on her face were visible as she walked slowly out of the building and disappeared from sight.<br/>Arima excused himself and headed in the way the girl had gone, then come out.  As he went, his hands went into his pockets, slipping on blue jade rings with silver kanji.<br/>Inside you see the woman sitting in what only appears to be a beautiful throne as she looks at you and grins, "" I been expecting you Wizard, you have a lot of energy I can use, unless you want to die I suggest you get on your knees and kiss my feet"". The doors behind you closed shut as shadows started to appear all around you.<br/>Arima glanced back and forth, suddenly not liking the odds but keeping his back straight and proud.  ""That's not very polite, stranger.  You haven't introduced yourself yet.""<br/>She grinned and extended her feet to him, ""You can call me mistress for now"". The shadows seemed to come closer and closer to you, ""I suggest you do as told before they touch you"".<br/>She remained still as the blast of wind hit her, ""That was a nice breeze, hon I been alive for thousands of years do you think a little beginners magic could do anything against me"".  The shadows slowly appeared next to you and one of them touched your shoulder. You feel your strength leaving your body as you fall on your knees.wind should be enough to pull an American football team off of him and slam them into the back wall hard.<br/>It was also extracting a terrible toll of mental fatigue upon him, but he hoped too bluff through that.<br/>She remained still as the blast of wind hit her, ""that was a nice breeze, hon I been alive for thousands of years do you think a little beginners magic could do anything against me?""<br/>“Kuso,” Arima hissed, not bothered that she’d resisted his spell half so much as that it had passed clear through the shadows, one of whom now floated down to touch him on the shoulder.  Cold agony wracked his body and he dropped to his knees.  Shuddering there, gasping for breath, he managed to hiss out the words, “You haven’t introduced yourself yet, our fight hasn’t begun.”<br/>A loud explosion was heard from the door behind the woman as it was blasted open. From the other side what appeared to be men in combat armor sorrounded the woman. A big man followed by a rather thing woman with a lollypop on her mouth entered the room and he took care of the shadows with much effort, a blast of Ice freezing them in place as the blond girl knelt in front of you, ""Go to sleep"". You wake up back in your bed of your apartment, besides your bed there is a card with a note and your report complete.<br/>Arima groaned as he glanced through the report, wondering if he’d had more beer than he thought, then noticed the note and read it.<br/><br/>Dear Arima:<br/>What you experienced yesterday was not a dream, you are in a world far worst than what you might think. If you ever want to find out the truth about the world you live in, if you ever want to be trained and use your abilities for the good of mankind give us a call. I will promise everything will be clear once you give us the call, but I must warn you. Once you accept and call us you will never go back to your old life again. Take your time and think about it, I completed the report for you. If you want to go back to your old life then forget what happened yesterday. If you want to find out more then come to Tokyo and find out the truth. With all due respect to a fellow Wizard.... Orpheus<br/><br/>Thinking back on the incident Arima found himself grinning at the thought of exactly how much stronger he might still become.  Then he frowned at the memory of the girl whom he’d moved into that chamber for in the first place, to find out what had been done to her in hopes he could undue it.<br/>He turned to the note and spoke to it as if to the woman who wrote it, “I’m not quite ready yet.”<br/>Over the next few years, by trial and error, in the time when he wasn’t growing as a manga-ka and a wizard, he worked in the ritual room in the basement of the old house he aquired in the countryside to forge steel through magic alone into a katana like unto the blades of old but also infused with his strength of fire.<br/>He inscribed these charecters on the blade when it was done, and filled them with gold.  “This katana has no name.  A thousand victims suffer every day, and we never learn their names, and so I dedicate their blade to their defense.”<br/>"

[Aspect: ]<br/><br/>Phase Five: [Guest Starring Redux: Things May Be Closer Than They Appear/ Guest Star: Suzuki Katahiro]: Katahiro attempts to engineer a theft of an rather priceless artifact while diverting attention from himself by playing two very interested organizations against each other.  However, both sides are more cooperative than Katahiro anticipated, can he make it out with artifact and skin intact?  [Aspect:]<br/><br/>Skills:<br/><br/>Superb [+5]:<br/>Great [+4]: [Slots: 2] Rapport, Lore<br/>Good [+3]: [Slots: 3] Deceit, Discipline, Performance,<br/>Fair [+2]: [Slots: 4] Alertness, Conviction, Resources, Scholarship<br/>Average [+1]: [Slots: 5]Contacts, Empathy, Fists, Stealth, Survival<br/><br/>Stunts & Powers:<br/><br/>[- 1] Item of Power: The Silver-Tongued Trumpet, [- 1] Marked by Power, [-3] Thaumaturgy, [-1] The Sight, [-0] Wizard's Constitution<br/><br/>The Silver-Tongued Trumpet [- 1]<br/><br/>Description: Reputedly the possession of either Baron Samedi or Old Nick Scratch himself, depending on the story that Katahiro tells, the Silver-Tongued Trumpet belongs to Katahiro now.  The prize for beating them at a contest of musical talent, the Trumpet appears to be a mundane trumpet, albeit one forged from the purest of silver.<br/><br/>Musts: Only those with the spark of the divine may draw on the powers of the Trumpet.<br/><br/>Skills Affected: Performance, others.<br/><br/>Effects:<br/>Calling You Home: Despite its musical prowess, the truest ability of the Trumpet softens the barrier between the mortal world and the Nevernever through its enchanting music.  The wielder expends a Fate Point in order to open up a gateway between the worlds.  The gateway lasts as long as the Trumpet's wielder plays a melody on the Trumpet.

Her mother defended a human and was exiled from her kind. Her punishment was to go and live with the humans if she chose them over her own.<br/>Her mother was transformed into the likeness of the human girl she defended who lived in Tokyo. Everyone remembered her as such. So she grew up as the sister of the girl she protected, hiding her powers so she could have a normal life until she was free to return to her home.<br/>Aibell grew into a beautiful woman and was in the beginnings of being taught to be a Geisha as she had no real family when Hikoro saw her the first night she danced in the theatre..he purchased her and married her making her his own and providing her with his protection.<br/>Nissa was born 9 months later..a beautiful child..quiet as the air and wind that surrounded her. Aibell knew her husband was a Yakuza boss operating in the city of  Minato..but they never spoke of it. When Nissa was in her 19th year..there was a war..the neighboring boss:Suzuki Hiroshi wanted more power..Hiroko was cunning and was ready each time the enemy would strike..and so..Suzuki Hiroshi turned to the most dishonorable thing : they killed Hiroko's wife..as a message to him.<br/><br/>Hiroko sends a message to Suzuki Hiroshi..he will step aside and disappear if his daughter is spared.. Suzuki agrees..and Hiroko tells his daughter he must go away. He has left her money in an account..much money in fact that she can attend University and take care of herself. (Aspect:Love hurts.)<br/><br/><strong>What shaped you?</strong><br/>Aibell taught her daughter spells and the intricacies of using herbs for healing. She did all this without her husband's knowledge. Nissa learned quickly- she had the temperament of her mother : quiet..caring..loving. They would go out for a day in the neighboring countryside and her mother would teach her the names of the different herbs and what they were used for. She would let her daughter practice on the small animals they found near that somehow always seemed to approach Nissa when they were injured. Nissa was caring for a wounded bluejay one day and refused to leave it until she had wrapped its wing and was SURE it would be all right left alone. That wa when her mother told her that just as anger turned into a Red Rage..so did compassion if Nissa was too stubborn about it.<br/>(Aspect: Too much compassion is as bad as too little.)<br/><br/><strong>First Adventure</strong><br/>When she was in high school..Suzuki's son: Akihiko was in her class. She was smarter than him..Nissa did not know who his father was but he knew who she was. He hated her..right from the start. EVERYONE loved Nissa..she was smart and pretty and kind..everything he was not! He decided to 'hurt' her..he didn't want to kill her although if it happened he wouldn't cry about it. He thought up a plan..he thought was fool proof. He would be in the cafeteria and when she came next to his table, he would kick the chair over so she would trip and he would hold the pencil just right, like a knife so she would fall on it.  He hoped he'd take out her eye or something just as bad so she wouldn't be so pretty anymore.<br/>The day came..he was in his seat..watching..waiting..what he didn't count on was Nissa's bodyguard being super vigilent..the bodyguard must have noticed something because as Nissa came towards his table..and the chair went down..big arms lifted her away,  The bodyguard was there as soon as Nissa fell ..the pencil struck her arm as she went down..the guard softening her fall. The pencil struck her in the arm..she cried out..there was blood. The Principal happened to be in the cafeteria and quickly came to her and they whisked her off to the office. The bodyguard took matters into his own hands and took Nissa out to her limo..on the ride home she was holding her arm but when they arrived..there were no marks left- it had healed itself.<br/>(Aspect:I will not let the love of my friends blind me)<br/><br/><strong>What paths have you crossed </strong><br/>Her mother has died, so she is the only magical person she knows. She may still have normal friends, but probably feels some distance from them right now too.  She's been reading this comic for the last few years, it's become successful and been made into an anime. The writer lives out in the countryside, not too far away from Nissa and makes jokes at his own expense that he has trouble with computers. Sometimes he draws comedic gremlins batting at his computer.<br/>Sometimes when Nissa uses magic,  technology gets antsy, and she heard from her mother that a wizard has that problem worse than she ever will, so maybe this writer is a wizard so she goes too look him up.<br/>Nissa finds his address and phone number and gives him a call but his secretary answers and when she explains that she would like to meet the wizard, the secretary just laughs and then hangs up the phone.She is not easily deterred. She decides to use her magic to get his attention and makes a cherry tree bloom early and sends a warm wind too him with the cherry blossoms. He is surprised when he receives the cherry blossoms and  sends the wind back to her.<br/><br/><strong> What other paths have you crossed </strong><br/>Nissa takes this as a sign that he is agreeable to meet her and she gets a taxi to his house, knocks on the door and when he answers, she holds up the cherry blossom and he lets her in his house out of curiosity: he wishes to meet her..just one time and see who she is. He fully expects to dismiss her but when he meets her..her shyness and goodness intrigue him.<br/>He still dismisses her..but now..he is more interested in her..Nissa had left  him her address and he decides to take a trip just to see where she lives.  He doesn't plan to even let her know that he is there.He sees  Nissa walking in the street..and all of a sudden a cold darkness passes over him. He shivers and looks around and sees this short blond haired woman..instinctively he knows the cold emptiness he felt..came from her. He did not see that just as he looked up..so did Nissa but she did not see the blond haired woman..she only saw him.<br/><br/>"

She was told the truth behind the world and she was faked dead to all others, after all if you are in Orpheus that means you give up everything about your life.<br/><br/>Whose Paths Have You Crossed?: (Aspect: Meeting the demon itself)<br/><br/>Years after she entered the company she was given a mission to find a certain woman that was stealing the life force of people and creating a army of magic resistant shadows.

She has fond memories of playing in her father's lab, being his good little assistant. All that changed in a terrible fight one day, when Yuka was but seven years old. Another wizard had broken into their home and began to attack Yuka's parents. Yuka hid herself in a cupboard, watching the fight through a small gap between the doors. In an hour, the fight was over, and Yuka was left orphaned by the mysterious man. Saddened and devastated by the loss of her parents, Yuka vowed her revenge on the mysterious man who had killed them. It was her anger that led her to the Master's mansion, the household belonging to the son of the wizard who killed her parents.<br/><br/>On the surface, Yuka is a bubbly but somewhat shy young woman,  who does not understand why her curvaceous body tended to give men nosebleeds. Her maid's uniform consists of a navy blue bodice with a white waist cincher, half-apron, sleevecuffs, and cap. (Perhaps if she wore less of her outfit, the men would have less nosebleeds? *smile*) Her mental growth seemed to have arrested since the day her parents were brutally killed, even if her body had continued growing. Whether the innocence is only an act, or if that is Yuka's true personality, no one really knows. But it might explain why she tends to act like a spoilt brat when her stress levels hit their max. The strength in her arms which she has gained from all that cleaning gives her the strength to wield even large hammers, such as sledgehammers or giant wooden mallets, which she hides somehow within her maid's attire."

The ""patriarch"" (probably the leader/head) is a NG human woman, Charisbonde Trueservant, and there is also Jelde (male human, supposedly also NG), a ""high-ranking priest"".<br/><br/>I used Jelde b/c 1. you'd been using masculine pronouns in your previous references to meeting the head of his order (perhaps  Charisbonde is known to be traveling elsewhere presently) 2. Jelde I'm actually rather familiar with - he's a character in a novel trilogy I'm near the end of (Swords of Eveningstar being the 1st). He was part of an adventuring party leadered by a young Florin Falconhand (then-future husband, I think, of Dove Falconhand, one of the Seven Sisters), royally chartered by Azoun IV after Florin saved Azoun's lift after stumbling upon a Zhentarim ambush in the woods, and dubbed the Swords of Eveningstar and later Knights of Myth Drannor. That was all in the 1340s or 1350s (pre-Time of Troubles in '58); so Jedle would now be middle-aged, in his 40s or 50s maybe. Given his personality I'm sure he's boasted about those days in the years since, and you can assume Randal knows any of that.<br/><br/>And, indeed, Jelde - or, Semoor Wolftooth, as he was originally known (it mentions it being common for Lathanderi clergy to take on new names) was always portrayed as very sarcastic-tongued, harmlessly lecherous, and kinda dislikeable (then again, those adjectives all apply to Elminster in many people's reckoning) - I had the same reaction, he seemed a little dark and selfish for Lathander. I'd have pegged him for Neutral, maybe. (Maybe he improved since then.) Perhaps amusingly, his best friend (also in the party) was a Tymoran priest (and more devout and diplomatic).<br/>"

By which I mean, not 'open' in a tavern/inn, nor DM-prompt anyone to go to one. I believe every PBP game I've ever been in but not been the DM of has opened in a tavern/inn.<br/><br/>Several PCs initiated it though - which is a perfectly logical thing to before setting out on a dangerous adventure. So my suggestion is, the characters who want to can do so, but it needn't take more than a post or two (I'm not going to be describing the interiors of a bunch of taverns, unless, I dunno, you pick a fight in one and so suddenly the layout and the NPCs in it actually matter). This is basically the reason Gather Information exists in the ""1d4+1 hours per roll"" form it does (it's very reasonable to go around thoroughly asking about or looking for X but very boring to roleplay in extreme detail). This is why so many PBP games go so slowly; people feel obliged to do everything 'real time' and write everything the character says, rather than just saying what they said and did.  (""Let's not, and say we did."")<br/><br/>(And Tacky and I have already arranged over PM that ifwhen Randal comes to rendezvous with Arivel as they agreed when they split up, the staff will call him down or knock or whatever and they can be on their way, and meanwhile side threads can be used where called for.)"

Most enemies can't fly and probably wouldn't bother to attack an object, and I don't think the broom can 'attack' by itself, so I expect its position will rarely matter (unless someone's riding it in which case it has no separate position).

It helps with making sure that it works the way I thought/remembered it working. The time tends to pay for itself by reducing edits later (and b/c I get more familiar with my char's abilities, and so I think of my future turns more quickly - and became more tactically savvy!).<br/><br/>You'll find you won't need to every round, as you go along. It's very very common for PBP campaigns to start (and stay) slow, and often the first time you actually use your PC's abilities is several months of real time after you made the char sheet, so it's easy to misremember.<br/><br/>Also, since we've had a lot of questions or edits about actions and turns: in my experience, the vast majority of questions or mistakes that players and DMs have in a game are all encompassed by the following one SRD page: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsincombat.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsincombat.htm)<br/>(mostly it delineates what's a move/standard/free/full-round action)<br/><br/>Also, when I use spells, I often link or paste in spell text. (Ifwhen you all fight spellcasters, I will probably link or paste the full text of every spell taht gets cast against your characters.) Like with feats and special abilities, I often double-check a spell text as I cast it (and sharing the link or text makes it easier for others to catch my mistakes.) For example, I recently played with one person who uses a number of swift-action spells and had a tendency to assume their standard action spells were swift actions. Having the spell text helps catch that (both more likely to catch it, and less likely to slow down things for everyone else).<br/><br/>It also helps with party coordination. For example, some other people may not realize that Haste increases your move speed, but then when they see the spell text pasted into this OOC thread, they'll think a-ha, and make use of it on their next turn.<br/><br/>On the average I probably do 2-3 srd lookups per DM post. A very quick way to do them is<br/><br/>CTRL+T (new tab)<br/>type ""d20 Haste"" in the browser url bare to automatically google ""d20 haste""; if you google ""d20 haste"" or ""srd haste"", the srd page for Haste will almost always be the first google result. Also for example ""d20 caltrops"", ""d20 animal growth,"", ""d20 cover"".<br/><br/><br/>"

In this case you're not double posting, since your previous post, in-game, preceded mine (well actually everyone's actions have 'implied simultaneity' in the game world, but insofar as it's coarse-grained to DnD turns - in this case, everyone gets haste's AC bonus vs those enemy attacks, for example). I post first purely to expedite the pace of the game for everyone else, since I knew from PM what you were gonna do.<br/><br/>Two things:<br/>1. A PC will not lose actions b/c a player doesn't post (there may be exceptions for a very AWOL player whose PC I don't have a good idea of what to do with in absentia)<br/>2. I'll add ""round numbers"" to my OOC post above (with the sequence of actions) in case that further clarifies it. For example, your broom and haste was on Round 2, and you now have a turn for Round 3.*<br/><br/>If you're not sure whether it's your turn in the future, one thing you can do is post a turn, and if it's not yours, I will just either ignore itr or postpone it (as I've done with Rodger, who's been posted 'a turn ahead' twice now.)<br/><br/>Initiative and turns don't work quite the same way as typical freeform PBP posting. In the latter, people seem to implicitly assume that if player A posts X before player B posts Y, then A precedes B. The result is that you get a lot of unrealistic or paradoxical situations, like, A posts that he will attack B if B tries anything, then B posts he will attack A, and they both claim they are guaranteed to 'go first'.<br/><br/>In system, let's say a fight hasn't yet broken out, and A posts an attack. It doesn't necessarily mean A actually will land that attack before B does something: rather, an initiative roll is called for; and if B wins and chooses to attack first, it can be interpreted a him, in-character, reading a 'tell' that A gave (hostile facial cues, moving hands in gestures to go for a weapon or spellcast, etc.). Like in the westerns where Clint Eastwood sees the other guy go for his gun, but he's a quicker draw and he gets a shot off first even though he started drawing second.<br/><br/>Of course, B might be sneaking up on A, or be able to mask his imminent hostile intent and actions with successful bluff and-or sleight of hand checks. In this case B gets a surprise round (guaranteed to go first, although a surprise round is only 1 standard or move action), and then initiative is rolled (so B might end up going twice in a row).<br/><br/><br/>*The round numbers I gave above don't quite line up with those in default DnD round numbering (but this is purely semantics and doesn't change any rules at all). Normal DnD round number increments after the lowest-initiative player goes and before the highest-. In this case the number increments just before the enemy turn instead, since it's useful to think of the party's back-to-back actions (between two enemy turns) as being a 'round'. One could line them up by having those PCS/sidekicks with lower initiative than the halflings' delay-action to go from the 'bottom' of a DnD-round to the 'top' of the next - but again, it is purely labeling semantics. If this paragraph confuses anyone it can be safely ignored."

Of course it's always possible I might just miss someone.<br/><br/>Climb is one-quarter speed; since Cecily's is 30' and the windows are 15' above ground level (as a few of my OOC posts indicated), she will consume her double move (60') getting up.<br/><br/>However, whenever you are not sure about such things, you can always post what your char will do next if they succeed on some action (and possibly a separate thing if they fail).<br/><br/>If is possible to do 'accelerated climbing' (half speed instead of quarter speed, with a -5 penalty on the check; since 1/4 speed with no penalty is the 'default' case I thought that was what you meant). Remember that in general, with things that can be done faster at a penalty - climbing, moving silently, hiding and tumbling, etc. - you must decide which way to do it before doing the check. For example, you are not supposed to make a Tumble check to avoid an AoO, and then if you get 25+, decide to do it at full speed rather than half-speed (DC 15).<br/><br/>In general whenever you are not sure about something, like if you didn't notice/remember the height to the windows, you can always do conditional things in your post (for example, make an OOC note that you wish to do accelerated climbing if and only if the distance is more than X.)<br/><br/>Also note that each move action requires its own Climb check.

For example:<br/><br/>- At the very outset of the campaign, your character was clearly annoyed to be in a temple and wondering what she was doing there. Yet in the recruitment thread I had stated it would start in a temple, and even listed a half-dozen reasons a char might be there. Posts like that simply tell me that 1. you hate the RP concept (which is fine, but why join?) or 2. you insisted on playing a character that makes no sense being in he opening scenario.<br/><br/>(Sometimes roleplaying creativity means NOT doing/having that which is most archetypical of your character - explaining why they're in a temple even though they hate temples bitterly, etc.)<br/><br/>- Now your character is wondering why they were there 'til the morning. I asked days ago if staying 'til morning was okay with people.<br/><br/>Your character just seems perpetually....frustrated? mad at the world?...and her thoughts are essentially meta - ""I have no reason for being here, I'm just here cuz the DM said so."" My advice is, think of reasons. (That's basically what roleplaying means. Explaining why your character does what they do, rather than having them on metagame pilot).<br/><br/>C28's suggestions above are good ones - why don't you play up that angle, have her mention that she wants to join the others b/c fighting a dragon sounds like a challenge she wants to give herself, etc. (Also IMO she's probably Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil, not Chaotic Good.)<br/><br/>Again, doesn't have to be done in real time, or stated explicitly - the point is that, *you* should know what's going on in your character's head and be able to explain why she does the things she does, like hang around the others. When you have her think to herself ""I just stayed at a boring house all day and night with no reason"", you're essentially just telling me you don't think your character has any reason to be going along with the others / in the RP (and that you're metagaming /  feeling forced to metagame to avoid dropping).<br/><br/>If so, that's fine! I hate to railroad players! (So my suggestion would be either to think of a reason she *would* be there, or have her wander off and make up a new character with a compatible personality and life goals, or to drop.)"

Which did she choose? Or maybe it was in her post and I missed it.<br/><br/>2. Reflex roll for her horse: 4m+18r = 22, takes 10 dmg<br/>Once in the water it will begin swimming west downstream (swim mod +2), at 30' to 90' per round (half speed + the ambient current) depending on what fraction of its Swim checks (which I'm not bothering with for now, and I doubt it will drown, esp. once it's out of danger and takes 10) it makes.<br/><br/>(Side thought: does anyone else think that many creatures, like horses, should have large Climb penalties? There are lots of monsters which seem like they should be terribly at it, but are actually fantastic b/c of their huge Str mods).<br/><br/>3. Cecily's armor:<br/>Does Called let you unsummon the armor? If I'm reading your post correct Cecily's calling it off as a free action. Does Called let you do that?<br/><br/>4. Cecily fast dismount Ride check: 3 + 16<br/>AFAIK Feather Fall doesn't auto-dismount you from a falling mount; and since a successful fast dismount is a free action but not an immediate action, it couldn't be done until after you fall with the horse. Feather Fall the cast spell can be cast on other creatures, but I don't know if the Ring of the Four Winds effect can (if so, transcribe the text into her sheet.)<br/>In this case it matters little; Feather Fall is actually counterproductive since there's no falling damage and it'd slow down Cecily's reaching of the water (and thus her beginning to swim and climb out) - of course, in-character, it's still a<em>very</em>reasonable reflex (to activate feather fall before realizing that it's just water below; plus the impact from being on the horse when it falls can't be comfortable). And it slows your fall to 60'/round, so fortunately it doesn't slow her enough to not reach the water for her turn. In other words it's a perfectly fine post but worth noting how FF interacts with mounted status / asking you if you know otherwise.<br/><br/>AFAICT from rereading Called just now, it doesn't do anything about taking off armor. I've done her turn as if she didn't - which actually works out in your favor, by saving a standard action. So, she uses a move action to dismount, then 5' of swimming (quarter speed) costs 20' of movement, leaving her 10', and so accelerated climbing brings her 5' up the wall (15' to go).<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Randal</span><br/><br/>1. Randal fast dismount Ride check: 1 + 13s<br/>AFAIK flight movement doesn't auto-dismount and dismounting isn't specific to ground movement. The direction the character moves away from the horse probably doesn't matter - I could't find anything to that effect, and since falling is a free action, anyone could fast-dismount by jumping or moving laterally off their horse and then falling. As for the in-character explanation of flight not granting auto-fast-dismount, dismounting probably has more to do with seating position (and often stirrups) than getting down to the ground. (Someone could free-'dismount' a flying carpet by taking a 5' step off it and then falling, for example). Your post still works fine. Just means one move instead of double move.<br/><br/>2. Diagonal flight:<br/>If Randal wishes to fly diagonally upward rather than forward then up (which you might've done b/c  the rules aren't totally clear hon how the former would work), I've read and surmised two interpretations. One is that any square going up is doubled (so diagonal up would be alternating 10' and 20' rather than 5' and 10'), another is that you figure out the normal cost of going forward by X and up by 2Y, and use that - in which case it comes out to alternating 10' and 15'. I'm inclined to the latter, as with the former, flying diagonally up is as slow as forward then up (which is counterintuitive both b/c of Pythagoras and b/c of how real creatures fly). So with a 40' move action Randal could go I think 40' forward, 35' forward and 5' up, 25' and 10', 20' and 15', or 5' and 20'.<br/><br/>And in turns where Randal spends both actions moving, I believe you may be able to use the run action - the Fly spell doesn't allow it but if his LHT spell doesn't say otherwise I think he can. In clear skies, anyway. The forest terrain prevents running, and AFAICT Freedom of Movement (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/freedomofmovement.htm) doesn't say anything about natural terrain impediments (except some of the underwater-specific penalties) - for example I don't think it allows the charge/run action over movement-slowing terrain. But in 'open' air I think he'll be able to run and twice-speed-charge while flying.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Dora</span><br/><br/>1.

(In cases where enemies radically vary in power, I might use a weighted average, so a high-CR powerful but slow giant can't get better initiative by hanging out with low-CR pixie rogues.)<br/><br/>In between NPC turns, PCs can post and act in any order - which can be accomplished in the core rules anyway by using the 'delay action' anyway to leapfrog after your friends but stay before the next enemy turn.<br/>You may have cues when you wish to act in a different order than you post. For example, if Randal and Rodger move, and then Toria posts that she's casting haste on everyone, the haste can happen first so that everyone else gets the improved speed, attack bonus, etc. (Provided this works - the movement of the others wasn't necessary to get them in range of the haste spell, for example.) Generally speaking I try to interpret PC turns in the most favorable order anyway, even lacking such cues.<br/><br/>So that 'when your next turn is' is more clear to you than last time, I will use round numbers. Rather than incrementing after the 'last' turn (lowest initiative), they'll increment after each NPC turn. This has zero rules effect - it's purely a semantic/labeling convention that makes it easier for me to say things like ""you already moved in round two so that new post of yours will be your round three actions, unless knowing that changes your mind about what you want to do there"". For example, not everyone acts in 'round one', only those who beat the NPCs' initiative, since 'round two' begins after that.<br/><br/>Note again that none of the above is a houserule or a change or conflict of the core rules - it's just a convention that uses rules and labels in a convenient manner.<br/><br/>Initiative Order:<br/>(again, PCs can arbitrarily order themselves w/i each round, but listing here)<br/><br/>Cecily 22<br/>Toria 21<br/>Lizardmen 17<br/>Kelsie 16<br/>Rodger 15<br/>Kalia 6<br/>Dora 5"

And anyway Muse has posted so now you're the only player who hasn't posted for this round.<br/><br/>Not only that, but PC actions need not resolve (occur in-character) in the order they are posted: you can cooperate OOC and-or IC, give cues about preferred order (buffs before attacks, area effect attacks before single target attacks, etc.), and I generally try to resolve PC actions in the most favorable order. For example if Randal posts an attack, then Toria posts a Haste spell, Randal will get the bonuses from Haste (provided this works - for example, Toria doesn't need to move first to get in range to Haste Randal.)<br/><br/>The only reason I listed the initiative numbers in that post was to help explain why some people got a turn before the first (non-surprise-round) NPC turn and some didn't (those who beat the lizardmens' initiative of 17). I did that b/c in the last combat, it seemed to confuse people: you and a few others had lower initiative than the halfings, but still posted a turn 'first', and then another turn after their first turn, and so on, thus staying 'a round ahead' for the whole battle. Which you certainly can do if you want (I just resolve your chars' actions after the NPCs'), but i wasn't sure your realized that's what you were doing. The upside of 'getting a round ahead' is that it can speed things up (if you aren't around to post after the NPC turn), the downside is that you're choosing your actions without the information for what the NPCs will be doing on their turn. (and as I've said, people can do both: prepost, and then if the NPC turn changes your mind, repost.)<br/><br/>I also posted the initiative numbers to make certain everyone knew theirs: Ershin rolled her own after I posted hers, so I wanted to confirm the one I was using, and similarly Muse PMed to say he rolled but forgot to post his initiative, so again I had posted the one. Basically we had some players posting initiative in the IC thread, some OOC, and some not at all, so it's nice to have it in one place (even if the numbers only matter insofar as which side of 17 they were on.)<br/><br/>I apologize if posting the initiative numbers confused or misled you. Since you have the iPod small screen thing going on, would it help if I kept my OOC posts shorter? (If you had the initiative number list onscreen and not the explanatory text above it, it's probably easy to construe the implication that you hafta wait for a specific order.) I realize I've written more about initiative at this point that anyone likely cares to read, but my hope is that once it becomes clear to everyone, it will go without saying and work more expediently and smoothly going forward.<br/><br/>I'm currently waiting on turns for you and for Muse (both of whom have posted here in OOC, but not IC).<br/><br/>In summary: you never need to wait on other PCs' posts (unless you feel your decision will depend on theirs, in a way you can't specify conditionally in your post). You don't even have to wait on the DM / NPC post, although you should keep in mind that the NPC actions will still resolve first - and hopefully not confuse fellow players by being a round ahead, if their actions hinge on yours."

(In cases where enemies radically vary in power, I might use a weighted average, so a high-CR powerful but slow giant can't get better initiative by hanging out with low-CR pixie rogues.) <br/><br/><strong>In between NPC turns, PCs can post and act in any order</strong> - which can be accomplished in the core rules anyway by using the 'delay action' anyway to leapfrog after your friends but stay before the next enemy turn. <br/>You may have cues when you wish to act in a different order than you post. For example, if Randal and Rodger move, and then Toria posts that she's casting haste on everyone, the haste can happen first so that everyone else gets the improved speed, attack bonus, etc. (Provided this works - the movement of the others wasn't necessary to get them in range of the haste spell, for example.) Generally speaking I try to interpret PC turns in the most favorable order anyway, even lacking such cues.  <br/><br/>So that 'when your next turn is' is more clear to you than last time, I will use round numbers. Rather than incrementing after the 'last' turn (lowest initiative), they'll increment after each NPC turn. This has zero rules effect - it's purely a semantic/labeling convention that makes it easier for me to say things like ""you already moved in round two so that new post of yours will be your round three actions, unless knowing that changes your mind about what you want to do there"". For example, not everyone acts in 'round one', only those who beat the NPCs' initiative, since 'round two' begins after that. <br/><br/>Note again that none of the above is a houserule or a change or conflict of the core rules - it's just a convention that uses rules and labels in a convenient manner.  <br/><br/>Initiative Order:<br/>(again, <strong>PCs can arbitrarily order themselves w/i each round</strong>, but listing here)<br/><br/>Cecily 22<br/>Toria 21<br/>Lizardmen 17<br/>Kelsie 16<br/>Rodger 15<br/>Kalia 6<br/>Dora 5<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>"

Even if you spend some future turn double moving downward, it basically just 'exchanges' that turn with what this one would've been if you double moved.

The information may very well have been in your post, but I wasn't able to mentally parse it (again, in part b/c I didn't understand Saddleback).<br/><br/>Sounds like you're now saying you rolled it yourself but it failed to post. Since 2-3 things have failed to post for you so far, I might suggest that, when you post things, you then hit Refresh in your browser and look at the thread - and confirm that it has in fact posted.<br/><br/>You don't need me to move you, generally; you can always state your character's destination position, and even quote-edit the map yourself if you like. But if you prefer to state your movement in a more qualitative way, as you did in your IC post, I won't know exactly where/whether to 'move your marker' without knowing the results of things like Entangle that affect mobility."

His post was pretty clear once I realized Close Wounds was an immediate action. And I wouldn't have waited on it anyway (esp. since he lacks line of effect to Cecily, or range, for the spell).<br/><br/>I've been back in town 2 days but was waiting on Tagan (whether you choose to 'blame' myself or her is up to you; for the sake of argument blame me I suppose). Prepared spellcasters are some of the hardest to DM-move since you don't want to 'use up' something they'd have rather saved (and you may not even know or have access to all their non-core spells); spont-casters are usually easier since they tend to have several copies of the same things available (and you learn their non-core spells over time), and physical attackers are even easier (generally 'unlimited-use' actions). But it's been awhile so I'll move Dora and Rodger today if she hasn't posted by the time I do. Maybe I'll have Dora double-move in an effort to try to find any more hidden enemies, since she's been interested in that (and it doesn't consume any limited per day things). Rodger will likely try to climb a tree and attack the nearest foe (as cats do). Or maybe Dora will use Call Lightning since that gives you many rounds' worth of attacks for one spell.<br/><br/>Would everyone like a more systematic tempo? How about something like:<br/><br/>- Players should feel free to designate fellow players who can post for their characters, much as I have. I don't even need to know - if I see someone posting for someone else I'll assume they know what they are doing.<br/>-Players should feel free to designate 'scripts' / 'gambits' (Final Fantasy XII parlance) for how their character generally operates, so that when I or other players move them, it is more likely to be what they would've done.<br/>- During combat timing (i.e. initiative / combat rounds) I will make a DM post every, say, 2 nights, moving any chars who need to. Obviously I may not always make this schedule but it can be a default. Tonight will be one such, and the next will be 2 nights after that. This lets you know how long you probably have to make a post yourself, as well as when you can likely expect a new DM post if you check in.<br/><br/>Also btw this is yet another reason it's nice to have non-SRD class features, spells etc. available in the char sheet or somewhere: makes it easier for other people to move your char.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

That is 30 feet of solid earth the spell has to sunder through to reach me, and there is no way it would work.<br/><br/>The only other way it could work is if the line were to snake out from randal, take a sharp 90 degree turn down into the cliff, to then connect with me. Then that is NOT a line, that is a cascade.<br/><br/>Also I did take into effect of my fall and starting over from the second flamestrike, which is why I did a double move to get to the surface. It also doesn't help when you switch from OOC and IC when describing what happened. That and you still have not explained how archers in trees can shoot through solid ground to hit me when I am on the cliff face."

(At this point I would play it forward even if you were right, and if the mistake were sufficiently devastating to the party, increase the Encounter Level, i.e. the XP.) if I hadn't called you out in OOC you'd *still* just be posting along the 'fork' of your own 'what you think should've happened'.<br/><br/>Second, although your intuition is understandable, you are just barely incorrect. The Arc of Lightning spell - the complete text of which I provided - is specifically any-corner-to-any-corner, and Cecily and Randal did not have total cover vs each other. I nearly made a 2nd vertical map similar to the one I provided earlier (the explain the archer arrows) which had Cecily and Randal on it at the time of the AoL, anticipating you might argue this. (The reason I didn't bother is your posts were already so disconnected from everything else that I figured it'd be a waste of time.) Not only am I thinking in 3D, the altitude is precisely why it works. The fact that you said 30' of earth and mention a 90' turn leaves me the impression that you think Randal was on the ground at the time (i.e. the AoL would've had to go through the ground to his feet) - in other words that you're thinking in 2D (except where your own PC is concerned).<br/><br/>The reason I've used both IC and OOC is b/c your posts tend to be so intricately mistaken that it's cumbersome to do it inline in the IC thread - you'll note that for the most part, I give the results/feedback of other players' actions inline in the IC thread only. That, and I figured you might want to reply to my questions/corrections about your posts - and back and forth like that (and like this!) should only be in the OOC thread.   And if you were confused, why didn't ya say so earlier?<br/><br/>Below is the link to the relevant post. Perhaps you'd like to quote the vertical-slice map I provided earlier in OOC to explain the archer attacks, and edit it to include Cecily's and Randal's position at the time of the attack, to better explain your position (so to speak). Since you earlier touted and credited to another DM the same style of ASCII map I've been using, I assume you have no objection to using them.<br/><br/>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=90902.200 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=90902.200)"

You see this by drawing a 45 angle line up from the NW corner of Cecily's NW square. As you can see Randal could've been 5' lower or further south and it still would've worked.<br/><br/>The altitude does matter. Perhaps you thought all lines had to be orthogonal (straight up/down/north/south/east/west). Or you're assuming the line has to be center-to-center, or every-corner-to-every-corner has to be be open (in other words, the criterion for not having cover).<br/><br/>Of if you are objecting on ""realism"" / ""verisimilitude"" / ""interpretation"" grounds, well, it's a magic effect, and the closest RL metaphors for it are natural lightning or Tesla coils (which don't require straight lines at all, and can pass through material). Note that I am not justifying the effect of these grounds - rather, suggeting one can't justify the negation.<br/><br/>Interestingly, I note that when you made the shield attack at the halfling, he was also around a corner from Cecily (he had cover but not total cover) - so you were fine with partial obstruction (i.e. cover) in that case (when your character happened to be the attacker), but not this one (when your character happened to be the target).<br/><br/>Also I'll point out that if I'd allowed your own incorrectly optimistic climbing results in prior posts - IIRC you originally had her climbing too fast and ignored the dismount ction and swim distance and so would've gotten to the surface faster - you would've ended up with the Arc of Lightning without even your own cited grounds for objection. There seems to be a certain amount of picking-and-choosing or desired retroedits on your part.<br/><br/>Ifwhen you are confused, just ask and say so, instead of ignoring my posts. (Also if you were confused by the info, how could you be so certain it was wrong?) The alternative to using 2 threads is to either put everything inline (in which case back and forths like this would derail and clutter the flow, and look weird when referencing 'old' things like this one) or to use the OOC thread for everything OOC, which for 90% or more of cases would be more time consuming for other players (they'd have to post every attack's stats here instead of just making one post.)<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/>. .

If SRK had used 20 + Con mod or something it would've been similar to 10 + score for most chars, and look more 'regular'.)<br/><br/>That said, in my new post I declared Cecily dead. Not b/c of that specifically, but simply DM fiat (or delayed adoption of the SKR houserule if you prefer). On my trip I decided I was going to ask Cecily to leave the RP, and this is as convenient and logical a timepoint as one could imagine.<br/><br/>I will give some explanation - not b/c I wish to appear to be criticizing Nicci for the sake of it, but b/c I'd hate for other players to get the wrong idea, namely that I boot people for daring to question my calls on rules. (Usually it's fun to go through, actually.) Rather, it is that in the several RPs I've had with Nicci before (both of which I dropped out of for roughly the same reason), I've simply found us completely unable to coordinate effectively (direct questions usually wouldn't get answered, pretty much everything unfavorable was argued with in an unconstructive and irreconcilable manner, etc.). It's not so much about annoyance on my part as a lack of time; I have less time for E than I used to (but steady going forward and in fact I hope to pick up my lacking pace with this one, in part by doing this) and Nicci has probably cost me more extra OOC time than every other player combined. Nicci, you may consider all this to my own shortcoming/fault/inability/capriciousness if you prefer. And I apologize if you would have preferred me to quietly pretend you were right about Cecily being dead even by the SKR rule rather  than belabor this here in OOC - but I thought it would be wrong of me to selectively use the rules without being explicit about it.<br/><br/>Generally speaking being selective about rules as a DM is bad anyway, but surely one can'y be expected to have no recourse to ask players to leave, and this is such a perfect in-character opportunity it seems ridiculous not to use it. And I'm sure you wouldn't be terribly interested in being asked to roleplay her waking up just to concoct a reason to leave. In other words, yes it's DM fiat, but so is the alternative, which would also involve telling you to metagame.<br/><br/>Reincarate and Raise Dead involve expensive material components, but if the party decides what they want to do is go back to town to buy some and try to revive her, that's OK with me. (I will say that her soul isn't willing, but as always people should do what's not IC. Technically I believe that if the spell fails b/c the soul is unwilling, the expensive components are still consumed (I may be wrong); so it costs some loot, but, her gear value will  more than make up for it."

She'll be down to 19 or 15.<br/><br/>My personal recommendation is to save Close Wounds for a case where its unique 'reactive-preventative' nature keeps someone from going unconscious, and use a 'regular' but higher HP spell (although I realize you could use both since Close Wounds is an immediate action). I might also recommend going for the highest healing spell that you don't think is 'overflow', since your character's actions (i.e. turns) are a valuable commodity too (and casting a larger number of weaker spells takes more turns). Unless of course that means converting a prepared spell you really want to save. Toria has some really good potential spells for this fight (for example the adjacent archers could both be hit with one Glitterdust, and if blinded would be pretty much harmless) so it'd be bad news if she went down.<br/><br/>Two notes:<br/><br/>1. Going back to look at Toria's damage, I noticed i forgot to roll threat rolls and extra damage, if they succeeded, for a critical arrow against her. I will leave this as-is for consistency. This is a very 'lucky-for-us' mistake: the 3x crit would, if confirmed, have probably rendered her unconscious/dying combined with this round's attacks.<br/><br/>2. If people note their Pc's HP on posts where it changes (due to damage or healing), they will probably be more likely to have party healers take note and heal them when needed! I hadn't really noticed how low Toria's HP was! (I suspect other players will be less likely to check the char sheet thread for HP than to notice it in-line.)"

In any case, it doesn't weigh much as an eagle, and she could probably dodge it.)<br/><br/>If she moves toward the east-fleeing archer I believe she would indeed come w/i range of Whelm on this same round. She can see it and the trees don't give the spell an extra miss chance. (Spells with attack rolls, like Scorching Ray, will have miss chances from concealment, or face AC bonuses to targets with cover. Other targeted spells are not impeded by these - although 'total concealment/cover' prevents using them. Area spells can be used against things with total concealment/cover, although the target may turn out to not be in the square where you thought it was.)<br/><br/>btw, is Whelm 'Close' or 'Medium' range? And does it allow Spell Resistance (they don't have it, but sooner or later she might use it on something that does.)<br/><br/>I have a request for everyone - whenever you use a spell or special ability (for the first time) that's not at the SRD, please please post some sort of transcription of the spell description or its relevant parameter. For example, IIRC whelm is the Enchantment school and has the [mind-affecting] descriptor, so for example an Elf or a Monk-3 would have a bonus on the save, which I may not know otherwise.<br/><br/>(It's not that SRD stuff is 'better', but rather than it takes only a few seconds for anyone else to google.)<br/><br/>This may seem like extra work but it actually saves a lot of time in the long run, esp. if you use the spell/ability repeatedly - and may save time for your fellow players, if it prevents me having to ask for extra information before proceeding, or waiting to post until I can reference things myself.<br/><br/>Even banging out a spell description word for word only takes about 2 minutes, and I've done it many times (probably takes less time than it would for someone else to look it up again themselves). And, if you have the manual through certain, shall we say, alternative channels, you may even be able to copy-paste...<br/><br/>Also in my experience this will help your own tactical thinking, as it helps you notice things like whether the spell is in range, etc. And it will help with teamwork, since if your allies know the parameters of the spell they can better act accordingly.<br/><br/>If you expect to use a spell repeatedly, you might put the parameters here in the OOC thread, since it's generally lower-volume and thus easier to find old stuff on."

In range 0 sometimes these spells have both a limitation on range from your character, and distance between any two targets, like Slow http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/slow.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/slow.htm). I forget whether Mass Whelm has such a restriction.<br/><br/>2. In line of sight/effect (i.e. you can see them; they aren't invisible, behind a wall, or across certain special line-of-effect-breaking barriers like Wall of Force.).<br/><br/>3. Doesn't exceed the maximum # of targets for the spell.<br/><br/>Generally speaking, if the spell entry has an Area: line, it works like fireball, if it has a Targets: line, it works like slow. Spells that affect every creature in the area, like fireball, will usually also say something in the description like "" to every creature within the area."" Another rune of thumb - not an actual rule that I know of, just a 'pattern' - is that if the spell has any limit on the number of targets (besides an implicit limit to how many could squeeze into an area) you can almost certainly choose them (within the spell's limitations) and don't have to choose any you don't want to. Offhand I can't think of any spells that act on targets 'in order' based on proximity to you (although some spell effects are always centered on you) or require that target selection be done in that way.<br/><br/>A third type of spell is that which involves an attack roll - usually  touch, ranged touch, or ray. These are sort of like attacking with a weapon; you make an attack roll that has to hit the target's touch AC, and is subject to miss chances from effects like Blur and Toria's 'haste-blur' thing. Things like the +1 attack bonus from Haste would apply to these attack rolls.<br/><br/>Non-attack-roll ""Targeted"" spells like Slow or Hold Person are not subject to miss chances (but if the foe has total concealment, such as from Invisibility which you can't see through, you can't target it at all; you don't have 'line of sight')."

The House of the Morning was dim in its main sanctuary a few minutes before dawn, and a riot of kaleidoscopic colors, albeit tending to rose, a few minutes after. The sunrays cast the divine images of the stained glass onto the opposing walls, portraying Lathander at many aspects and endeavors. The halls and offices flanking the sanctuary, and the arcades of cloisters ringing cultivated orchard courtyards behind it, teemed at this early hour with rose-robed clergy and other visitors seeking various services or bearing news. The sanctuary itself held worshippers in goodly number, dawn naturally being the favored time alike for individuals prayers or to the Morninglord or sermons and ceremonies, and several casual visitors in the stained-glass domed antechamber just within the front steps before the sanctuary.<br/><br/>Out those steps, the Eveningstar streets ran with carts, rider and pedestrians beginning yet another workdays. Two particular carts were<em>not</em>running, their drovers having somehow sideswiped one another and now stopped to haggle and argue over blame and, of course, coin for compensation. The sanctuary was acoustically spared from the noise outside, and quiet with individual prayers of townsfolk and acolytes, morning services typically delayed until a bit after dawn for the sake of those who could only spare briefer, private prayers before their own workdays began. In the anteroom, two priests argued good-naturedly over the philosophical question of whether, or when if ever, 'twas goodly to do untoward deeds for the greater good. Behind he sanctuary in a courtyard ringed by a many-columned arcade, two priestesses traded the sort of friendly words which marked them as obvious rivals for the eye of some currently-off-adventuring paladin of the faith.<br/><br/>Elsewhere along the halls and cloisters, and about the town of Eveningstar, the inevitable realm-gossip floated from tongue to ear and off tongue again. ""Princess Alusair,"" one porch-dwelling old hand mocked it all to another, across the street from the temple, ""They said was bedding yet another adventurer, but this one actively sought a kingship and was supported by some dark network -depending on whom you asked, anyone from the Zhentarim to the church of Shar to the Red Wizards and all the other inevitable foci of doom and gloom.

He swept an arm about in an arc past the sundry onlookers, cape swishing, finally answering Randal's question with an address to the group - theatrically, almost, despite the recent plight of his fellow, ""What has happened, you ask? I might more succinctly answer, what<em>hasn't?</em>Yours truly heard tell in Arabel of a copper dragon roosting none too far north, for whom we set out seeking advice, trade - magic of use to us in exchange for coin  aplenty for its bedding, hey? - and...""<br/><br/>The redhead twin to Arival's addressor interjected, ""...and magical erudition...""<br/><br/>""...and that. Even saw it flying overhead as we got close, and were able to get its attention with a little light-magic. Turns out, 'twas no copper at all, but a green! A grotesquely greedy green at that. Demanded a tithe of all we carried down to our skivvies, and when my friend here begged to differ, it set upon us, knocking us about with limb and wing and tail.""<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>The fellow with the Tymoran symbol flicked his eyes down the hall at what he heard, but he seemed, if anything for it, more eager to get Cecily's attention, ""Two-faced, hmm? I cannot disagree, to be sure, but what doesn't? Every coin in your pocket, for starters,"" he flipped a silver piece and palmed it, smiling as it came down heads up, ""If I may make a personal observation, you seem - bored? wasted even - in such a cloistering place as this. If you would entertain an audience with me in a slightly more less-overheard setting,"" he glanced down the hall again, and with his head indicated a townswoman passing by to go gawk at the noise, ""I will confess I am not here to poach Lathanderi faithful - not<em>only</em>that, at any rate - but am looking for those who might in turn entertain certain jobs and offers.""

Tossing her hair back, she favored the elf with a look over her shoulder, and mentioned, ""Don't get the impression that I'm not flexible enough, and then some, to unlace the back of this myself, but if you'd be so chivalrous to lend a hand or two, it does go faster...""

That is all past Starwater Gorge; the east side of the river is the easier to traverse overland, hence and because of the road, but thusly the more like to host bandits and, I have heard, owlbears. Whereas the west side of the river is steeper across the gorge; thicker underbrush, and more treacherous footing within sight of the river.""<br/><br/>""Follow that tributary and none before; when it splits again into two feeding streams, take the west one.

The twin Arivel chose gave out a maidenly gasp as he kissed her, and threw her arms to her side as if to surrender her robes to be opened. They fastened like the cheongsams and kimonos of the high ladies of Kara-Tur, tied with small delicate silk knots down one side under the armpit, from whence the front peeled back and away. The twin shivered delightfully as Arivel was doing just that. She tossed back her chin and shoulders as if to better surrender herself, which also caused her gown to fall from her shoulders, from whence it fell like autumnal leaves from her slender body. It caught only briefly on the conspicuously pert peaks of her breasts, which had apparently been bound in nothing underneath the rather supportive bodice of the gown. She wriggled her body subtly, causing the gown to fall free and pool about her ankles. It left only the peach-colored curves of the redhead standing with a single strappy triangle of silk girding her loins. She smiled, looked up at Arivel, and placed her hands upon his chest.<br/><br/>Her twin gave out a hungry, slightly yearning growl, clinging to the man's left arm. She nudged against her sister, palming her sensuously but firmly against her nearer bare breast and the triangle of silk some distance beneath, until she had more of Arivel's front than her now nigh-naked sister. ""I grow much too warm, still bound up,"" she whimpered, nuzzling Arivel's earlobe. ""Please free me too.""<br/><br/>Her twin frowned, ""'Tis little fairer if we both, but only we, are so treated,"" her fingernails raked down Arivel's breastplated chest until they hooked at the waistline of his leggings.

Only one could rightfully be described a 'grand estate' as it had been, and helpfully enough had a gilded H in the arch over the gate in the running spiked iron fence. The column-porched residence proper was ringed upon its grounds by a few of the trappings of aristocracy: a small stable and riding-corral for a horse-obsessed teenage daughter perhaps; shrubberies snipped into the shapes of lions or bears of magical beasts(and a glimpse of a hedge maze around the back, with an undergarment dangling from a branch at one of the exits); a fountain with marble nymphs and cherubs dancing about them; rosebushes to immaculately cultured they could only have been stylized either by overworked laborers or a sexually neglected noble wife needing a outlet. (Or perhaps some 'overworked' laborer<em>was</em>the outlet of some otherwise-neglected wife).<br/><br/>Marble statues<em>of</em>guards flanked the double front doors, but no living guards themselves.

Allowing any-order posting is a significant speed-up for PBP.<br/>-Ifwhen you do have tactics where the order of the PC turn matters, I suggest either coordinating via PC talking, OOC notes, or indications in your post that make the intended or favorable order obvious - for example, A casting haste before B attacks rather than vice versa, so B gets the bonuses of it. For example, Toria can cast Haste as a free action (cool!), so if I have to pilot her during battles, this will likely be a common thing.<br/>-In some cases you may be able to post all your round's worth of actions at once, in some cases you may want to know the results of part of your turn before choosing the rest.

The nearest halfling ducked; the arrow whizzed into the window and stuck against the ceiling inside. The halfling reappeared, giving Arivel a noisy raspberry and slinging is stone at the enormous Rodger before ducking out of sight again.<br/><br/>The other two window-using halflings acted similarly, aiming stones with deliberateness at the foreheads of that tiger or Randal (they being the closest among those below, and seeming not yet as ready to dodge) before likewise shifting out of sight from those outside the windows.<br/><br/>There was a frantic pattering sound from behind the first-floor doorway moments before Rodger planted his forepaws against it and crushed it inward. The elephantine feline revealed a checkered anteroom, the first few rows of tiles sprinkled with tetrahedrally spiked caltrops. No halfling stood within, only a lone chair now broken amidst the scattered timbers of the door.<br/><br/>The foyer, ended where it intersected a crosshall, but a second set of doors there stood wide open to reveal, beyond, a greathall dominated by a long and stately dining table. Behind the furthest, almost thronelike seat at the head of the table hung a family crest recognized by Arivel and Kelsie (if they could see any of this around the tiger) as, indeed, the Huntsilvers'.<br/><br/>Midway down the many-tapestried front foyer, another hall ran to the right, affording access to an (as-yet-unseen) closet, a midden, and a guardroom like a tiny barracks. Facing this shorter hall, the front foyer was broken midway along its left side by an also-open door. Through it, a narrow slice of a parlor could be glimpsed, hosting bookshelves, at least one couch - and sprawled in the doorway, a young nobleman with his throat cut. The smell of bloods and liquor strong in the air through that door.<br/><br/><br/>Acting for Arivel:<br/>draw bow (move action) and standard attack at nearest halfling.<br/>Attack mod +9 (6 bab + 1 dex + 1 enhancement + 1 morale), dmg 1d8+2. This is a fine example of any-ordering: Kelsie's initiative was lower but presumably they'd want the buff before the attack; implicitly used a delay action to go after Kelsie.<br/><br/>The window halflings have cover (+4 AC vs all current PC positions) from the windowsills (as a 'low obstacle') - their bodies aren't completely visible. (Apologies if knowing earlier would've changd anyone's decisions.) Also worth noting that Rodger's size and reach put him w/i melee reach of the window halflings if he's positioned close enough in the horizontal plane (but due to said cover, as well as to the fact that Rodger is still flatfooed, their upcoming ranged attacks won't provoke AoOs)<br/><br/>I believe a mounted Kelsie with a reach weapon (such as a lance) could also reach them (from sufficiently close horizontally) -  normally I believe characters can attack on 5' cube above their own; a reach weapon adds a cube upward, and being mounted probably does. (The halflings are 15' above ground - two cubes higher than normal overhead attack reach).

Not saying anyone in particular should do this; it just bears mentioning since i find some playes don't know about the ready- and delay- actions (and without it, pop-up antics like the halflings' would be abusive of the turn-based system).<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Rodger</span><br/>moves up to and successfully breaks down door<br/><br/>Breaking down a door is probably a standard action, although I didn't actually find that answer in the relevant SRDs. I'm guessing Rodger had to consume his move action to move up to the door, as I didn't get the sense from the previous posts that the party was putting a tiger in a 'party face' position when knocking on the door of a noble estate. As you can see I am positioning PCs so that Rodger had a clear path to get up to it, though, and wasn't blocked when his turn came up.<br/><br/>Normally, when a PC or sidekicks declares their actions but doesn't actually have initiative before the next NPC turn - such as Rodger's breakdown or Randal's Recitation - players should feel free to change their mind when their turn actually comes up. In this case I'm going ahead and assuming Rodger does the same thing, since 1. Tagan already rolled it and 2. the door status might have an effect on other PCs' decisions (in which case it saves a post cycle of Tagan confirming that's what Rodger does, me sayign the door breaks down, and then any dependent-on-that PCs acting. 3. The position of the Huge Rodger may also have a big effect on other PCs' actions, so I have in effect moved him already, as the first PC/sidekick turn of the upcoming round. Everyone else's turn for the upcoming round is still open.<br/><br/>It is probably worth noting that characters can move through squares occupied by friendlies (but not end their turns in these squares).<br/><br/>In fact, more generally players may want to sometimes do this (post a turn even when the NPCS have the next turn, for the sake of expedience / letting other PC's know what's coming - can be a good idea if you may not be online again for awhile), when they want to do something and feel pretty certain the next NPC turn wouldn't change their mind.<br/><br/>Caltrops (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsandservices.htm): if it becomes relevant for your character and you wish to do your own roll, you may do the 'attack' of the caltrops. These have an attack mod of -4 instead of +0 thanks to the smashed door timber partially covering them (as if you had cover vs the caltrops' attack) (ad hoc on my part). I can roll their attacks for you (but note that your character's speed afterwards may depend on the result).<br/><br/>D = Dora<br/>K = Kelsie mounted on Large horse<br/>Ra = Randal<br/>R = Rodger (Large before Dora's spell, Huge after)<br/>T = Toria<br/>c = caltrops<br/>. = open squares<br/>X = obstructed squares (interior walls of buildings are not generally literally 5' thick; this is a rounding-up and also accommodates for the booksheles, couches, etc. that often make the edges of interior rooms somewhat obstructed from movement)<br/><br/>the immediate surroundings of the house (not shown) are unobstructed<br/>blank squares are unexplored; the house is in fact a complete square<br/>as always, a character need not post their full turn in one post, if you need 'feedback' part way through (success/failure of an action, new area your PC can now see after taking part of a movement action, etc.).

Holy Trans spell gives him flight speed 60' so it'd be 90' with haste and thus he's still on his first move action.<br/><br/>Since the maneuverability rating of the flight is (good), which includes the ability to hover, I believe there may be nothing to stop Randal from just being ""flying"" all the time even when he's on ground level, in order to benefit from its higher speed than his groundspeed. (Currently thinking of giving Wings of Flying to a char in a higher level campaign elsewhere and wondering if I should do this - use them for 60' speed pretty much all the time.)<br/><br/>Rodger will have consumed 80' of movement (8 squares of squeezing) getting into the greathall: if he's 70' hastes, that's one move action + 10' of a second. Dora will have consumed 40' (positioned below for sightlines into the side rooms); I gather her hasted speed is 60'<br/><br/>Cecily's movement brings her right up to the front doors.<br/><br/>D = Dora<br/>K = Kelsie mounted on Large horse<br/>Ra = Randal<br/>R = Rodger (Large before Dora's spell, Huge after)<br/>T = Toria<br/>c = caltrops<br/>. = open squares<br/>X = obstructed squares<br/>(H) denotes a dropped halfling<br/>?H? denotes a former position (this halfling has now moved away from the window into the house)<br/>C = Cecily<br/>s = stairs up/down<br/>- = closed doors<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/><strong>2nd Floor</strong><br/><br/>...<br/>10              X .

Beyond its inner door, she'd see a hall going left to stairs and a midden, and right past a bathing chamber to the hall's T with another. and beyond that the halfling fleeing Randal. At the T she could see up a side hall leading to the back wall of the house: the hall had several more bedroom doors, the last on the right shut. Just beyond it, the hall ended in a window facing the back grounds of the estate, and forest beyond. The window was bolted, but a narrow rope ladder had been nailed to and rolled up at the sill, as if to allow quick escape.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the greasy-haired halfling hissed, ""Bugger ye!"" to Randal under its breath. It spun and ducked as it scooted on, hoping to avoid any sword-swipe, but caught a painful one across its shoulderblades all the same. Whimpering, the burglar stumbled one step further, only to find he'd impaled himself on a rapier blade which surely hadn't been in his path a moment before - nor the formerly brood-riding magess he'd seen outside. The wound slid out of its collar bloodlessly, yet visibly weakening the halfling.<br/><br/>It threw itself forward, headfirst between Toria's left hip and the corner of the hallway's T, rolling once on the floor as it landed past her. The halfling popped up (all of three feet up) but grinned and faced her. Its face was angular, oily, and had the freckles and complexion of a redheaded person, despite its dark greasy hair. ""Alright, alright, I give in,"" it grinned, but its voice suggested it wasn't above trying another move, and it raised its hands as if in surrender but did not drop either sling or dagger.

How unusual though, she thought as she further inspected the collection of tools, to keep a monocle with them. The woman quickly and quietly with a whisper of ""Misterioso"" casts detect magic, a thin strip of translucent, orange material forming and hovering over her right ear, curving above her face until a quarter ring completed itself, halting its progress just over her right eye. The ""witch"" concentrated on the pile of tools and the monocle for a number of seconds, to see if anything among them had a magical aura and if so, to attempt to determine what<em>kind</em>of aura it was exuding.<br/><br/>{ Spellcraft check, result 32 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=21977) }<br/><br/>Regardless of the result, Toria would take the (possibly stylish) monocle along with the appraisal tools, a vest and one of the remaining haversacks, and a sum of the bandits' funds (600 gold) for her trouble, the glittering treasure temporarily stored in her new haversack, resolving to look over the other magical items after breakfast to see if anything can be made of them. Her magical visor dissipates as she releases her concentration on the spell, joining the rest of the group in the middle of their conversation, following behind the young Huntsilver as she returned with the requested maps.<br/><br/>Taking a seat at the breakfast table as Kalia makes her request to Randal to aid them on their journey and the maps are unfurled, Toria lifts an apple, taking a small bite out of the succulent fruit.

Their torso-chain, the vests they'd worn underneath, and the rings all granted complementary modicums of protection to the wearers (with the vests and rings being able to resize themselves for 'bigfolk', as most item of Art in Faerun other than arms and armor were).<br/><br/><br/><br/>Using the skill usage from MICp217:<em>A character using the detect magic spell can attempt a Spellcraft check to determine teh school of magic associated with teh item's powers. If the character exceeds the DC for this check by 10 or more, the chaacter magically divine the item's functioning, its means of activation and the number of charges remaining.</em><br/><br/>The DC referred to is 15 + spell level, aka 25 + spell level for IDing. It's not quite an Identify spell, but for most items it'll be enough to make use of a thing or determine it's uninteresting. And on the monocle (just transcribing the entire item description here):<br/><br/><br/><em>Artificer's Monocle (Magic Item Compendium, page 72)<br/>Price (Item Level): 1,500 gp (5th)<br/>Body Slot: Face<br/>Caster Level: 5th<br/>Aura: Faint (DC 17) divination<br/>Activation: see text<br/>Weight: -<br/>Putting on a monocle is a standard action. While wearing an artificer's monocle, whenever you successfully use your artificer knowledge class feature (ECS 31) to detect an item's magical aura or you cast detect magic and have at least 5 ranks of Knowledge (arcana), you can spend 1 additional minute studying the item. If you do, you can identify the abilities of that item as if you had cast identify upon it.</em><br/><br/>Since Toria has 5 ranks in K(a), and she tried using it to look at the other items, she identifies them as:<br/><br/>4x Small +1 chain shirts<br/>4x rings of protection +1 (aka +1 deflection bonus to AC)<br/>4x vests of resistance +1 (a bonus to saves)<br/>the handy haversacks are still just that<br/><br/>(Although the monocle description may not be entirely clear on this point, I'm assuming using it for a minute maintains concentration on Detect Magic, since using DM is part of it...so Toria can ID 9 items per cast of DM using the monocle. Even if she doesn't want to cast a 2nd one, it's probably pretty obvious what the other items of the 17 are since they're 4 of a kind. And-or it's not like she doesn't have slots to burn for a 2nd DM if she wishes.)<br/><br/>The nonmagical stuff with the monocles is a mw Appraisal toolkit (+2 circumstance on Appraisal checks.)<br/><br/>I provided the literal text of the monocle mostly as a convenience to myself - it brings up an interesting philosophical question: can the monocle be used to Identify itself? Toria doesn't<em>quite</em>have the knowledge of it as if she's cast Identify on it (the prereqs for crafting a copy of it, for example) - but via her DM and Spellcraft on it, and trying to use it on the other items, she has figured out how it works and what it does."

Dora would know enough about such cycles to recognize that the local farming practices were actually quite aligned with a long view of the soil's health, particularly by human standards,<br/><br/>With each mile the road grew narrower, and overgrown patches became more frequent, especially where it wound closer to the fern-choked riverbanks, thanks either to fewer feet beating down plants or less Crown attention to upkeep or both. Occasionally streams crossed the road to feed into the Starwater just to the left, but a bridge of sure engineering and either straight-cut stone or well-cured wood traversed each.<br/><br/>The columns trees to either side never closed in more narrowly than forty feet apart, but grew taller, and the elevation gradually climbed.

The broom began to carry the girl northward along the open path, and thus hopefully soon in range of the foes with her choice spells. For the moment she kept to the open air of the road path rather than veering into the trees, mindful that entangle-magic could affect even branches and boughs, and was even now behind and before her, but if she was to get around the spontaneous blizzard ahead of her, she'd have to veer either high over it or into the trees soon.<br/><br/>Grinning like crocodiles, the two lizardmen assumed straighter postures, standing upon a small remaining section of what looked to've long ago been an elven hide, now in disrepair and the only remaining bit of what had likely once been a more extensive elven raised fortification, rope bridges and all. The present reptilian occupants began to pluck from quivers arrows to feed already-drawn longbows. Tongues flicking in excitement, the pair began to send arrow after black-feathered arrow arcing through the air above the stream, aiming for Cecily while she was climbing.<br/><br/>Two things more flew, from trees south and further south of the lizardmen: a pair of dark-feathered and sharp-beaked eagles. Winding through the trees, one flew about parallel to the stream, the other parallel to the road. They twittered and squawked and wiggled their talons in a manner not entirely natural to dumb birds and beasts: they were spellcasting. A second column of fire roared down into the gorge around Cecily; well to her south, the air snapped and popped and flashed as a lightning bolt raced rapidly between Toria and Kelsie before vanishing.<br/><br/><br/><br/>See OOC for details about Cecily's turn.<br/><br/>I didn't move Cecily's marker on the map below b/c I can't tell which side of the gorge she's scaling.

Magically well, Toria and Dora might suspect from their own repertoires.<br/><br/>The other eagle squawked as Toria's sword knocked it into a tree, sending feathers flying.

The lizardman archers traded glances - their reptilian faces seemed to suggest they'd intended to shoot at Rodger, but at this point they'd likely hit their own fellow, so instead they each chose one of the arcane spellcasters, Toria or Kalia, to pepper with arrows.<br/><br/>The fourth lizardman widened its widely-spaced eyes as Kelisie's second beam of light lasered by. It snarled as Toria's spell struck it, crocodilian jaws clenching down as tightly as Toria's thighs around her broom.

This was b/c of the wolves, not because of any item usage limit. Toria's free to keep using it now (but Detect Magic requires concentration.) This is what I meant by referring to 'interruption' in my last post.<br/><br/>Yes, in some ways the monocle is funny - it's a complete no-brainer to pick up vs, say, a wand of Identify or even the components to cast it normally (it has a 1 hour casting time and a 100 gp material component.) It drastically changes the economics of IDing (it costs 1,500 gp, so if you ID >15 things or care about speed o saving spell slots it's a win) but I threw it in as early treasure b/c I find the limitations of Identify to be much less interesting than other challenges: PCs using Detect Magic and spending a lot of time guessing and discussing which items to ID first (if the quest is time sensitive) or spending days just using their arcane spell slots to cast Identify over and over while resting (if it's not time sensitive), maybe after going into town if they didn't already have the material component).<br/><br/>Also I'm lazy and it often saves me having to look up magic item auras.<br/><br/>Also I don't like the party ""having"" to have someone who can cast it (IIRC it's not on the Beguiler list). Though there's always using hire-wizards in town (book price would be 10 gp for a 1st level spell at CL 1, + the 100 gp component, so proportionately only 10% more expensive). Or someone feeling like they ought to play a Cloistered Cleric (or a Cleric with the Knowledge domain) just to bypass the expensive material component by getting it as a divine spell.<br/><br/>I'm sure some DMs ban it but I wouldn't have thrown it in as treasure if I didn't want you to use it. I was thrilled when Toria took the initiative to play around with it and 'identify' the monocle itself via Spellcraft + Detet Magic...and she had the K(arcana) ranks to use it!<br/><br/>Toria (and the other adventurers) are aware of the wolves. I did spot/listen checks already, though admittedly it was somewhat subjective since I had to make an assumption about where the PCs were, and the fact that if any noticed them they would point them out to others (rather than waiting on those people to post). The exact results turn out not to be important b/c the wolves weren't - necessarily - going for an ambush attack on the PCs.<br/><br/>I suggest someone whip up a spatial formation that the party is currently in, just in case it turns out to  matter. Also, everyone, please post your PC's current HP in your next post."

Fen himself spent a few nights in holding for suspicion, but he was careful to ensure he never left behind the evidence that was needed to convict him of anything.  After a few years, he began taking contracts on his own, though he tended to avoid high-risk missions such as assassination contracts; favoring ones that involved tracking and apprehending or serving as a bodyguard.  The former certainly offered very nice payoffs, but he could not resist the allure of the latter and he had no qualms with sacrificing the extra pay for lower risk and higher job satisfaction.<br/><br/>Among all the relatively regular clients Fenris works for, there is one in particular that has caught his eye, for whom he in turn had done the same.  Whether it is due to his talents, discretion, professionalism, or any other reason, Asleod exclusively offers contracts to Fenris when he has need for a little extra muscle rather than making them up for grabs for the first of his group who happens by it.  The nature of his contracts appeal to Fen like few others and he will not hesitate to set other contracts aside for one from his preferred client."

His mother, Julice Rosewood, worked in Green Goblin tavern, working both as waitress and prostitute. His father is lord Greymor Fhaulrein. In twenty years ago he had habit to 'slum' incognito. Finding such habit thrilling and exciting activity (and also he gave him good ear on ground information about house businesses through tavern talk). He met Julice in Green Goblin, finding her attractive and sharp minded for commoner. Besides enjoying her soft bosom he enjoyed with her talks regarding city politics, art and theater. He acted as merchant and brought her along, finding her company pleasant.<br/><br/>Then he did unusual; against family wishes he proposed her! He married her and she did not mind marry with noble (especially rest her family would get handsome sum of money as part of marriage). ten months later Daniel was born. Ever since as child Daniel had been charming rascal, pretty much like his father (and father with humor dreaded it would happen). Daniel had quite happy life, raised up to standards of nobility. But with one expection; Julice often disguised herself and Daniel with simple illusion magic to walk down to commoners area to meet Daniel's mothersided relatives eversince he was kid. However visits were banned when it was found out when Daniel was six. But he had already grown fond to his uncles, aunts and cousins living in commons. So he took situation to his own hands! He started visit by himself, knowing dangers of the city but still daring go there, disguised as normal peasant.<br/><br/>Around age of ten his magical abilities manifested in odd fashion. A clever eyed thug had seen he was not just ordinary kid in commons, but a noble's brat! Thug made move to kidnap Daniel, perhaps even murder him out of spite for nobles! But when Daniel ran, was cornered and plead for help when none answered! From shadows manifested Rilyth, his eidolon. Rilyth scared hell out from thug before she with savage fury charged and attacked the thug! The thug was shred from her claws and finally pierced on the chest with her sharp stinger tail. Then she had cleaned her claws and tail from blood with her lips and while blood had covered her lips she had smiled to Daniel and spoke; ""You sure chose fun spot to visit master!"" Daniel of course was confused all this and woman introduced herself as Rilyth and escorted Daniel back home. Shocking is tame word to describe reaction what house did upon seeing Rilyth and Daniel guilt revealed tale from continued visits and now attacked by thug first time.<br/><br/>He was grounded till age of 16 but it gave him time educate with magic, as it was clear his sorcerers powers had manifested. But instead traditional sorcerer he became summoner, creating natural bond with realms beyond. In family tree they had long ago made pact with demons to gain power, with a fiendish ancestor and pact it would make sense for several generations pass and gift of sorcery or summoner resurface time to time. Daniel was quite alone considering he was watched 24/7 now, both by guards and now by Rilyth who became his constant companion and a friend. Altough bit dimwitted at times she has her charming moments and is not dump. Not to mention she can be fiercely protective about Daniel and as often result gets hurt. Daniel studied simple incantation for shield spell and rejuvenation magic for Rilyth to help heal her. Also unusual overtime as Daniel grew up, so did Rilyth become from slim girl to full figured woman with envied bust! A raven haired pale fiendish beauty.<br/><br/>Once at 16 his grounded status was lifted as Daniel was asked to attend noble parties once more. Now much more mature and off from traditional noble pickering and raising he learned early to be quick with tongue, be diplomatic polite, lie or outright intimidate people around him. He learned to be fashionable and have good sense for good taste in clothes, or impressive at least. After age of 18 he started sneak out again to commons and slums to meet his mother sided relatives. He got Rilyth an concealing hooded cloak to keep her out from standing in the crowd. Altough at times she can be mischievous flirt and enjoys shock people around her with fiendish features. Daniel one time after visiting his uncle who ran smith workshop then encountered a young boy, bullied by a fellow noble by using his hired thug bodyguard!<br/><br/>Daniel had never liked how nobles treated lower class, consider his mother had been one and all mother sided relatives which he loved and cared were also made him step up front to act like he was boy's master! Shouting other noble back off from mauling his servant or else his thug getting become meal for his eidolon! It scared off the noble back off and was convinced the boy was the servant and so he departed. After incident Daniel patted boy on head and asked him run and keep out of sight for while and avoid nobles next time. Unaware that small boy was one Asleod's operatives, a pick pocket and information sniffer. Daniel's encounter with noble became widespread news, his house heard it and grounded him now for month in the house as a lesson for scaring fellow noble off. It's okay defend property (or hired hands) but some limit to actual threats. In that time Asleod snuck in and had private talks and meetings with Daniel, measure his character and then Asleod openly talked Daniel to join his operation as noble rebel. Daniel agreed, only because he agrees that present order of things is distasteful for his own sense of compassion. So he agrees help Asleod to humble the nobles and reduce them peck or two down from their lofty heights as a lesson. Seeking to change the city politics alongside of Asleod.</div></div>"

Alexander is slender young man with dextrous fingers, a fit and healthy body, and a cunning, intelligent look in his eyes.<br/><br/>He has the look of a man who is not noble but who is able to make a living with his skills, and a good living on occasion actually. Dressing up in an explorer's outfit, he likes the many pockets it provides him. He tends to carry a few things with him including a good number of small bombs. Extracts prepared in small vials with a thin skin between them keeping the two fluids separate, his belongings might look harmless but in his hands, those vials can become lethal weapons when he personally shakes them and tosses them when the mixture has began its reaction.<br/><br/><strong>Craft &amp; Profession: </strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Alexander sells alchemical creations, and occasionally buys some things he believes he can move along and sell with a profit later on.  He's got a good eye for spotting quality merchandise, a sly tongue that can twist the truth now and then, and a friendly diplomatic tongue that lets him work his way through some troubles. He's naturally suspicious of others though, tending to try and read their intensions when its possible. Its a precaution he has taken up since he doesn't want the Inquisitors to come knocking on his door, unless they are there to buy something to settle their head after too much drinking.<br/><br/>Alexander Thornrose is used to selling things to both nobility and commoners. He offers a variety of things from a hangover cure to bloodblock meant to help with healing the wounded, to smelling salts to wake someone up. He's made a bit of a reputation selling make-up kits to both men and women at times, to help them look their best, as well as massage oils and some discreet products to the clients that might have use for them.<br/><br/>For all his 'common work' he also tries to move ahead things he can sell for profit, fencing stolen goods from time to time. He is a capable bomb-maker, though those bombs remain in his possession, merely a warning to those that think about shoplifting from him.<br/><br/>""If you take it without buying, don't come crying to me if you lose an arm.""<br/><br/>Lastly, Alexander knows a little bit of true magic. He can create alchemical brews and potions that contain actual magic, when he wants to put an effort into making such, but considering the risks in such goods he prefers to make those very discreetly. </div></div><br/><strong>History: </strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Alexander is the son of a late Witch and an unknown father. His mother sometimes hinted his father might have been a nobleman, but given her never-serious attitude about things Alexander believes it has just as much chance to be a lie as it has to be a truth. Either way, his mother lost her life when an inquisitor charged her with using magic. Alexander was spared because it was believed the young son had no such talent, though his actions were monitored for a long while.<br/><br/>He apprenticed himself to a merchant, and in time began to show talent in mixing together alchemical ingredients in a natural manner. Alexander had found his calling, and as he later discovered, his talent for magic. He did not have big showy spells and arcane gestures, but his vials contained more than enough reason to smirk now and then. It also gave him a bit more safety, his magic being 'harder to prove' and giving him a small measure of safety from the inquisitors.<br/><br/>Luck only goes so far though, and Alexander has been working hard to buy and sell things to make a profit and build up his wealth. He is a man that believes in the good, and doing the right thing, but he also believes one man cant do so much. This has drawn some people to him that need to make discreet purchases, and sometimes cant pay him with coin, but given his nature of buying and selling things he has taken up sometimes accepting other materials instead, selling them on when he can find a buyer. On occasion he forwards things to others that might be able to secure a better profit, agreeing to lose a little of the money he might make otherwise on such items, if he can at least make a small, tidy profit from such things. <br/><br/>Alexander feels somewhat bitter about the treatment he has seen the nobles have towards most people though.

With every scion that rises to power, more of the other races are enslaved, and the commoners suffer as if they are chattel. By the forgotten gods, I hope they learn before they drag us all under. I myself tried to make a change once; it was a small rebellion against my father, but it was one none the less. <br/><br/>I had seen him beating one of his pleasure slaves in the dining hall; one of the immortal elves. I tried to reason with him, having just gotten back from a delve into the library. He wouldn't have such thoughts though, told me if I did not learn my place that he'd make sure I was in the same position. It was the worst thing he could have said. I went to my room and planned out my little tryst, collected my gear and then went down to make sure she got out. With a spell she was healed, and then I took her downstairs toward the secret entrance that lead toward the sewers. <br/><br/>That was a decision that opened my eyes, because when I walked into the sewers beneath my fathers home I stepped into the middle of something that was out of my league. Bolts and arrows flew back and fourth, it looked like guards were fighting someone. At first I stayed back, my eyes searching for the culprit only to find that two groups of guards were shooting at each other! Wiry eyed I looked for the devil that caused it, only to find a few men making their way from the scene unnoticed. <br/><br/>Soft footed, I tried to follow them from my high vantage point; walking along the ledge, but I fell before I could get there. I tumbled downwards, surely to my doom but the charming rogue caught me just before I fell 20 more feet. He had a look in his eye as he stared at me, and then stared up to see the elf that was looking down toward them. Blood still specked on her face, but having obviously been healed. ""I might could use you."" The Rogue said, and told me he'd lift me up if I'd take the deal he had to offer. <br/><br/>He told me that he'd have let me fall if not for what I'd done for the elf, but to keep it that way I'd need to prove I was a useful tool. So that's where I am now, moving into the cell room under cloak and hood to enter from behind. As the guard walks the other way, the man behind bars might have seen a flash of steel; but that's before he seen my face from under the hood as I used the filched key to unlock the door.

She's trained since she was a little girl in the arts of deception and trickery; all so she might collect information on her fathers rivals within the city. She gained a little freedom from this when their house fell from favor upon her 16th birthday, and it was just a year later that things really changed for her.<br/><br/>She met a thief in the sewers when doing something particularly stupid(see the above musing)and nearly fell to her death before the man gave her a second chance. All she needed to do was use her noble heritage to get a man he wanted out of prison to earn enough of his trust to be considered a useful tool. She did as she was bid, and got the man out of the dungeon before he was to be held by the inquisitor. It wasn't long afterward that she received the mysterious invitation to meet with a group."

Now the stern woman is far from the Addy they use to know.<br/><strong>Age</strong>29<br/><strong>Title</strong>Countess Adonia Lia D'enes, Lady D'enes<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Gender</strong>Female<br/><strong>Height</strong>5'10<br/><strong>Weight</strong>155<br/><strong>Hair and Eye color</strong>Dark brown, azure blue.<br/><strong>Special abilities or talents. (IE Magic)</strong>Adonia has the ability to manipulate fire, a trait passed down from her mother, who was rumored to be a witch. Adonia keeps the fact underwraps and very rarely uses it. Though she has been known to call upon the knowledge when necessary. She has the ability to set her entire body on fire. It eats away any stitch of clothing she may have on, but will not burn her skin. It consumes anything that it touches, but since she is not a strong magic user it lasts under a minute, depending on how much rest she has had. She is also immune to the effects of regular fire. She has the ability to summon flames if there is a source nearby or enough air in the room.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Biography</strong>Adonia was born the eldest child of the Count and Countess of D'enes. Raised to be a lady, she was taught the fundementals necessary to secure a husband. Flirtation, dancing, singing..all the useless arts needed to lure in a rich man. The money troubles for the family started around the time she turned fifteen. Her mother died when the last of the six D'enes children was born, and it was up to Adonia to take care of the younger children while her father gambled, drank, and threw their money away on artifacts that had no point in existing. Atleast in the eyes of Adonia. It was at this tender age that Adonia took it upon herself to teach herself the way of running a household and balancing books. She had an apptitude for it, exceling where others thought she would fail.<br/><br/>When her father commited suicide, Adonia was twenty one years old, well past the age that most women married. The creditors descended, and Adonia fended them off by selling what she could, tightening the purse strings of what remained, and expanding on the business ventures that had fallen by the wayside with her father. Slowly but surely she was able to pull them out of debt, until they finally broke even. It was then that Adonia decided that they needed some venture that would make the family name stand out, and build back up their wealth.<br/><br/>Having grown up with slaves, Adonia was aware that a well trained and obediant slave was a hot commodity. It was then that the idea was spawned for the Slave Academy. Adonia called in favors, performed sexual duties, and lied, stole, and cheated her way into building on facilities to the current D'enes Manor. A previous admirer of Adonia's was taken on as a business partner, who fronted a good part of the cash to buy the first official stock and applied his expert hand to the merchandise. Their first stock was a sucess, and after a year Adonia was able to buy her partner out and take over the business on her own. The family fortune had increased tenfold in a matter of two years, and Adonia was to thank for that very fact.<br/><br/>How did you come to be at D'enes Slave Academy: She is the sole owner and one of the founders.<br/><br/><strong>If a Mistress/Master, what is your specialty or style of dominance:</strong>Adonia has a good idea for beauty and special slaves that have good potential. She is picky about who she personally trains. Those that she does train fear her, because she is ruthless when it comes to punishment. She is swift to correct a misdeed, and slow to reward. There are also times where she is quick to temper, and she has in the past damaged a piece of merchandise for minor infractions. She tries to control this character flaw, as it means lost money for the family.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual History:</strong>Adonia is not a stranger to passion. But she does it on her terms. The D'enes name is at stake, afterall. She very rarely takes a male lover to her bed, because she knows that most of them are after the family fortune and title that she possesses. Even though technically she is not the legal head of the house. She does take an occasional slavegirl to her bed, a random favorite that happens to hold her attentions for more than a mere hour. These girls are branded with Adonia's own specific seal. Usually on the cheek, under the left eye.<br/><br/>(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b243/dark_lavender_kisses/mb.jpg)"

For some that was horses, for some that was gambling - with him, it was slaves. breaking them, training them, displaying them.<br/><br/>He is not without ambitions, of course. In particular, he wants to marry well. His ideal woman would have to be beautiful, rich, obedient, very cruel, skilled with a whip, and have a good sense of humour. And he was always on the lookout for a nobleman who wanted his wife, daughter or sister brought properly to heel.

He loved his slaves and would spend hours training them to perform tricks, decorating them, dying their hair (in both areas). However - he is utterly cold, does not see his slaves as human, just as objects.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual History</strong>- To ladies he courts, Maschor is a true gentleman - kind, considerate, attentive. In the past, his family wealth gave him the opportunity to sleep with younger daughters of less established clans (fathers positively threw their children at him in the hope it might lead to a clan connection) - and he is a skillful lover. However, when he has sex with his slaves, he is cruel and mentally sadistic (though he tries not to inflict anything as boring as 'pain' on them, at least in ways that will show).

She is street smart and is charismatic enough to be in charge of her own gang of petty thugs. Her cunning should not be underestimated, as the family that bought her discovered.<br/><br/><strong>Biography</strong>The Gora family is an impoverished one that survives off of menial labor. This meant their feisty young daughter Variani was left pretty much to fend for herself most days. She occupied her time mainly by getting in trouble, either alone or with a group of other street kids. They nicknamed her ""Pug"" for her willingness to fight anyone, no matter how much bigger they were. When she was around eleven years old,  Variani stole a melon from a vendor and ran off. While being chased she collided with Thurrog Kro, a sergeant in the city guard. He arrested her for theft and assaulting an officer of the law, just out of spite. The fines for her crimes were to great for the Gora family and they were forced to sell their daughter into slavery or lose their own freedom (this is a not-uncommon practice amongst the court to make some gold on the side). Variani was purchased by the L'Evelk family to be a playmate, servant, and whipping girl for their daughter Jylene, who was the same age. Surprisingly enough, Variani proved quite subservient and carried out her duties faithfully. A couple months after her purchase, Variani accompanied Jylene to the country for a picnic. As soon as she had a moment alone with her young mistress, Variani knocked her out with a punch to the back of the head and escaped back to the city.<br/><br/>Not wanting to endanger her family, Variani lived on the streets. She met back up with her friends and organized them into a more efdective snatch and grab team. Variani lived relatively well off of petty crime and grew into a voluptuous young woman. While in a tavern, one drunk got too grabby with her and Variani cold-cocked him. The drunk had friends and soon a brawl broke out. One of the guards that came to stop it was Thurrog Kro, who recognized Variani and was more than happy to return her to her former mistress for a finder's fee. Lady Jylene, as she was now known after the passing of her parents, was quite pleased to reacquaint herself with Variani.<br/><br/><strong>How did you come to be at D'enes Slave Academy</strong>Lady Jylene L'Evelk wanted revenge on Variani for the humiliation and pain her slave had caused her. She wanted the girl broken in both body and soul, truly become the docile servent she briefly pretended to be. However, Lady Jylene lacked the stomach to carry this out herself. For her part, Variani had no desire to bow down to anyone, not even in deceit since that gambit wouldn't work twice. Her insubordinate behavior and insults toward her mistress would have gotten her executed by most nobles but Lady Jylene would not let her take the easy way out. Instead she sent Variani to the D'enes Academy, with instructions that no training would be considered to harsh.<br/><br/><strong>If a slave, what are your specific talents, if any</strong>Being strong, attractive, and clever, Variani would be a fine slave in either manual labor or more delicate tasks. However, her independent streak makes her useless as a servant. The only benefit she might have for any master is her stubborn toughness makes her able to take a great deal of punishment, which someone of a more sadistic bent might appreciate.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual History</strong>Variani has been a tomboy most of her life and saw both genders as friends. After going through puberty she had sex a few times with boys in her gang out of curiosity but the experiences weren't exactly memorable. Variani hasn't had strong sexual or romantic feelings for either gender. She isn't frigid and is quite friendly but those sort of relationships aren't something she thinks about.<br/><br/>(http://www.idesh.net/img/aria.jpg)"

Her father was an angry alcoholic who took his frustration out on Erica, it never got sexual. She was the one to do all the house work and taking care of her parents knowing that it was them who should have taken care of her.<br/><br/>She started cutting her arms and legs when she was 13, almost craving the pain of it, she was fascinated watching the blood.<br/><br/>At fifteen she ran away it was after she had dropped a wine glass, not only did she stain the carpet but the glass just had to shatter. She tried to clean it up quickly; she didn't even hear her father come up behind her until she was kicked to the floor, a nice big piece of glass being pushed through her hand. She didn't even scream. She curled up and waited for what she had coming to stop then simply sat on the floor and waited for them to go to bed. She left the house, glass still in her hand.<br/><br/>She ran, tears of frustration dripping down her cheeks. She ran and ran until her bare feet couldn't take anymore and her heart was pounding in her chest, she threw up then found a nice alley to sit in. Finally Erica pulled that piece of glass from her hand and pressed the sharpness to her wrist... One, then the other, she waited to die. Her breathing slowed, her eyes closed. She woke up. At first she thought she was dead, but then why was she breathing? The wounds on her wrists and her hand had been cleaned up and bandaged.<br/><br/>She screamed and screamed and screamed not that she was afraid of where she was, she screamed out of pure frustration that she was alive and well. It seems that someone had been watching her, her father had gotten a hefty sum to sell his daughter into the market. So when she ran it was the perfect opportunity to take her.<br/><br/>After a few years of living with a Mistress, being Her slave she started to do small things to rebel. She would pull away at her Mistresses touch, or not come when first called, she was put into an auction like a piece of furniture that wasn't wanted. She was pretty enough and smelled good enough and worked hard enough to insure she was quickly bought, this time by a male Master, her job was to cook for His other slaves and clean and use herself to feed his guests. He got a kick having her dance on the dining table after a meal, pleasing the guests by the way her body swayed.<br/><br/>Some days she would be too weak and tired after his parties so fell behind on her work, once again she didn't answer when she was called. She was even punished, banished from the house and being chained up outside like a dog that had been misbehaving. She made a fool of her Master. The next time he had the party she sat at the table but refused to do as she was told. He made an example of her, and whipped her in front of his guests.<br/><br/>Something came over her then. Rage. Hate. Her hands clenched into fists and she stood. She let out a scream, wild eyes staring at her Master. She kicked the bottles that contained expense champagne, spilling the contents across the table. She would have run if she hadn't been so weak and light headed. She remembered her Master yanking her offthe table and holding a hand over her mouth, fingernails digging into her cheek. She let his mates whip her while he held her and they did quite a brutal job of it. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she lost consciousness.<br/><br/>After a pretty severe beating she was sent out again, she was said to be disobedient and unruly. She didn't much care, but because of the complaints and being sent back Erica was shut in a cage and left. Again after a while she was 'adopted' this time to a Master and Mistress. It only lasted two weeks before she was sent back, she had attacked them. To her, they deserved it. She was eighteen by then. Old enough to satisfy lusts. She danced when they told her to dance, even took off her clothes so they could feast their eyes on her naked flesh. It was when the Mistress had come to her and placed a hand to her breast, that she fought.<br/><br/>Once again she was punished, locked in her room for days with no food or drink when she was allowed to go about her chores once more, she hid a knife in her sleeve and put it under the pillow on the floor she had been sleeping on. It wasn't long before the Master came, wanting from her what she had refused his wife. He said he could smell her virginity. As he lay his body on top of hers, ready to take away what she had managed to keep for so long, Erica pulled out the knife and plunged it into his chest. He never did take her virginity.<br/><br/>Now at 21 years of age, three years of watching slaves come and go, she still waits. Often being the one to take care of the other slaves, nursing their wounds, making them look their best, feeding the rebels.

They live a very long time, older than even elves did, and they are very mysterious. They are not many, and there's even fewer that come over to this part of the world. They are typically tall, taller than an average human, stronger too, and their tribal tattoos and horns make them look quite imposing. They have a reputation for being ruthless and barbaric, although in many cases that reputation isn't deserved.<br/><br/>Safira enrolled as a mistress in the academy to help build model slaves. She usually keeps a firm and authoritative figure, although she can soften up easily with flirting and body contact. She is softer on the inside than the outside, as one would say, and is a very approachable person, eager to chat and discuss problems instead of chastising for misconduct. Other than the horns and her tall, muscular figure, she is fully female.<br/><br/>Offs: Futa/herma<br/><br/>If a Mistress/Master, what is your specialty or style of dominance: Safira likes to think of slaves are necessary parts of society. While it's important that each slave know its place, she believes that they must also be made to feel at home, and to experience some of the good things in life as well. While most masters/mistresses in the Academy seem to focus primarily on punishment, Safira tries to bring some comfort to slaves who do a good job.<br/><br/>Sexual history: Because of her age, Safira has experienced sex many, many times, both as a sub and dom, with many species.

It was there that he learned of the seven deadly sins of the human nature. Wrath, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, and, of course, Lust. These sinful desires could be found in any human being, and Marco became fascinated by the thought of any magic concerning them. The more he read, the more he learned on how to manipulate these desires that lie dormant within people. It was extremely hard to figure out and it actually took a few years, but Marco finally made it past the first stage of the magic. Though he couldn’t force someone to succumb to a sin, if they were already thinking of one, he could make them focus on it completely, letting it consume their mind and overcome their own morals. Each person gave off a certain aura whenever they were feeling a certain way so he knew when it would be a good time to use it. Part of the reason he helped Adonia with her slave training was for him to test his abilities to entice the desires of the slaves. Still, there are many more secrets of the dark arts waiting to be learned by him.<br/><br/>Biography:  Marco used to never be the way that he is today. There was a time where he valued his family more than anything in his life. That was before his father’s suicide. He wanted to be the one who brought his family up from the ashes, the one who took on the title of Lord D’enes. Instead, the title was given to her, his beloved older sister Adonia. It was safe to say that after that moment, he no longer thought of her as “beloved” anymore. Darkness filled his heart, which lead to him finding comfort in his black magic. Despite the fact that he remained with the family, there was never a sense that he was an actual part of it anymore. The only thing that seemed to drive him was the thought of attaining the title that he believed he rightfully deserved.<br/><br/>How did you come to be at D'enes Slave Academy: Part of the D’enes family.<br/><br/>If a Mistress/Master, what is your specialty or style of dominance: Marco’s never seen his slaves more than test subjects for his magic. It was the main reason that he agreed to help. In each of his training sessions, his magic is always involved. Finding different ways to tease, embarrass, and, most importantly, break the girls that he gets paired up with.<br/><br/>Sexual History: In Marco’s teen years, sex was very enjoyable for him. Laying with the daughters of other nobles families brought him much joy. He loved it especially when it was hot and spontaneous, hearing the women moan his name as they both reached their points of ecstasy. This all changed for him when he began training the slaves for the academy. Sex with them was a lot more emotionless for him. While he could make a female still scream his name once they were broken, he could never get the same enjoyment as when he was younger. However, sex was very necessary for him, necessary to quell the sinful thoughts within his mind so that he wouldn’t be overwhelmed as it provided a temporary relief. In a way, having slaves was better for him, allowing himself to indulge on their bodies whenever it was needed. Still, he was always cold whether it felt good or not, never taking it farther than having his way with them. There was no need for him to bother with anything more. They would never be able to live up to his expectations of a woman, only being slaves.<br/><br/>Add a photo here: (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g9/2C00L4SCH00L/Giancario.jpg)<br/>"

(IE Magic):</strong>Skills befitting a warrior, hunting, gladiatorial combat, incredible strength, non-magical but when angered Daire will enter a berserker type of rage where he seems almost impervious to pain and his strength seems to grow exponentially.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong><br/><br/>Mac Dara Fearghail grew up in a remote village in the cold and hostile northern parts of the empire.  There tribes of wild barbarians roamed the hillsides scratching out what meager existence they could as best that they could.  The men and women both learned to fight with any manner of weapons that they had, spear, swords, axes, hammers, etc.  Most of the weapons that they had were stolen in raids against the villages and towns south of the hills and mountains in which they lived.  The barbarians are a proud people, believing that they are entitled to their freedom and way of life.  They can’t imagine being tied down to a job or a house in the ever growing cities to the south and are infuriated when the empire begins to encroach on what they see as their lands.  They begin to mount counter offensives and raid the military encampments and convoys.  The people of the mountains are fierce warriors and have little regard for their safety in battle.  They are the proverbial “poster children” for the school of thought that the best defense is a good offense.  The raiding party would hide amongst the shadows and trees of the forest while merchant caravans or columns of soldiers would march past, then with a ear piercing battle cry to their Gods they would nearly fly from the forest and set upon their victims with the ferocity of a feral cat, something never experienced before by the Imperial soldiers and it shook their confidence in their own fighting prowess.<br/><br/>It is one such raid that we pick up the telling of Mac Dara’s story.  As son to the chieftain of the Tribe of the Wolf and heir to that title himself one day Daire, as most called him, was a mountain of a man, and fierce in battle, but affable and well liked to his tribesman.  He was also highly respected and usually somewhat feared by the men of the other neighboring tribes that might be in competition with the tribe of the wolf.  In fact many of the neighboring tribes had already approached his father, Uthgardt with requests to arrange a wedding between Mac Dara and the best women that each tribe had to offer.  No definitive plans had been set in place when the wars had begun, although Daire had tested each of the prospective brides in the privacy of his tent several times before agreeing to consider them as his wife.<br/><br/>On the day of the raid his men had attacked a column of well armed soldiers with hopes of capturing many strong weapons, armor, and shields.  Among the column were also huge siege engines; trebuchet and manogels that were capable of throwing large stones, or flaming pots of pitch into the trees of the barbarian villages, that were being pulled along by large draft horses.  The destruction of these engines of war was Daire’s first priority and he took it upon himself to do so.  Fighting his way through a field of soldiers with reckless ferocity and abandon he reached the first and then second and third manogels, chopping at the wood of each with his axe, and the leather lashings with his sword, all the while he continued to fight off scores of soldiers.  True to his style of battle rage he was wounded several times over, but none of them deterred or hindered him in any way from his task.  As the head of his axe bit into the wood of the last trebuchet there was an ear splitting crack as the wood splintered and started to shift.  There was also a metallic grinding noise then a reverberating twang as one of the steel restraining straps used to hold the trebuchet together, as well as to give it added strength when firing, snapped free of the wood.  The sharp metal band snapped back with violent force and the sharp corner of the ban slashed across Daire’s body.  It opened his torso from his left shoulder to his right hip, almost eviscerating him on the spot.  As his tribesmen melted back into the shadows hauling their loot no one noticed that Mac Dara was missing, but the soldiers did.  Even as he lay bleeding on the ground, broken and unable to stand he lashed out at them with sword and axe trying to strike at any who dares to come close to him.  Finally the commanding officer came over to see this giant that they had found and could not contain, even when grievously wounded.  Taking up a long war hammer he strode up to him and stood near his head, with a solid thump the lights in Daire’s eyes went out as the hammer bashed his forehead.<br/><br/>Too stubborn to die the barbarian held on in their makeshift jail as a hostage for months until he was well enough to stand again.  The same commanding officer now saw a value in keeping him alive.  When they next passed a city Daire was taken to the market and sold as a slave to the highest bidder.  The bidder happened to be Quintas Pollonius, an owner of several gladiatorial ludi and prosperous franchise in the gladiator market.  Daire was taken to a ludus, where he was trained as he regained his strength and confidence.  Quintas saw the potential for huge profits in Daire and thus he treated him well.  He was fed well, given drink when he wanted, and as he began to amass victories in the arena he was even allowed to enjoy the company of the female slaves as often as he felt the urge.  Over the course of the next 6 months Daire trained, got stronger and faster, fought with the same ferocity that he had always exhibited in battle and was beginning to amass quite the following among the people of the Empire.  He had also grown quite fond of the company of a slave girl from the ludus.  In fact, not only did he summon her and only her to his bed nightly but he was beginning to fall in love, and she with him.  News of this reached Quintas, and he could not bear the thought of any distraction or attachment interfering with his prized investment so he stole the girl away right before Mac Dara’s eyes, had her stripped, publicly flailed, and then fucked by each of the lanistae before selling her to a travelling whore monger.  Daire was incensed but could not break his bonds.  So he seethed and waited.  Days later when he was taken to the training grounds he broke free of the manacles and killed 3 of the linastae before he could be subdued again.  Realizing that his ferocity, while great in the arena, was out of control he decided that it needed to be broken.  Mac Dara needed to understand the order of things and that with good behavior, success and victory came the rewards, and equally so, acting out violently against the staff would be met with punishment.  It was then that Quintas Pollnius had Daire bound and trussed and shipped off to the D’enes Slave Academy for retraining.<br/><br/><strong>If a slave, what are you specific talents, if any:</strong>Warrior talents including fighting, enduring pain and torture through sheer will.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual History:</strong>long and varied.  As the heir to the tribal leadership he had lain with any woman of his choice as long as they were not betrothed.  Since becoming a slave and after his victories in the arena he had known many of the young slave girls that were owner by Quintas. In fact, in a few cases of drunken stupor, he had even allowed himself to be serviced by the mouths of some of the young men in the ludus with that propensity.  The thought of being with another man did not appeal to him outright, but he found so little in his life to be satisfied or pleased with he was not one to turn down pleasurable things, not matter how brief they may be, or how odd they may seem.  And a mouth that knows how to milk him dry is always welcome regardless of the genitals that go along with it.<br/><br/><strong>Add a photo here</strong><br/><br/>(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs23/PRE/i/2007/339/3/9/Conan_the_Barbarian___2001_by_RubusTheBarbarian.jpg)<br/>"

A panicked creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.<br/><br/>Panicked is a more extreme state of fear than shaken or frightened.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>"

How can we have slayers without explosions?<br/><br/>Also there is a fun and little known spell, called Seeking Ray, which is 2nd level. It is a ray that deals a flat 4d6 electric, but is not affected by any cover and negates the -4 penalty for shooting into melee. Once you hit with seeking ray, any other ray spell afterwards for 1 round/caster level gets a +4 to hit.<br/>"

Spy, ninja, ghost – it has been called all of these and none of them is incorrect, for the Shadow has the mystical ability to disappear at will. As long as it’s alive, it can disappear from sight and sound in an instant. Not only is it invisible and inaudible, it leaves no heat signature either, making it capable of open action even in an arcology. Most of the time the Shadow’s first strike is from surprise.<br/>Its tools as an assassin are manifold. The needles growing on its chin  can be fired as poisoned darts. This organic poison is a powerful, short-term paralytic, meant to disable a target just long enough for the Shadow to gain advantage. Once it is up close, thorns sprout out of almost every striking surface, making it capable of tearing chunks out of vulnerable flesh. Its ability to Multiport strikes a target from up to six different sides nearly simultaneously. However, the Shadow is lightly armored and stand up fights can leave it badly hurt.<br/>The Shadow is a deadly and careful symbiont. Those who are bound with one develop great patience and cool temper, combined with a controlled nature and a callous attitude towards killing.<br/>Special: Paralytic Poison – The needles fired by the Shadow are coated with an organic paralytic poison. This poison requires that the needle do at least one point of Vitality damage to be administered.  Anyone affected by the poison must succeed at a Hard Tenacity Feat Test to resist. If this Test is failed, the victim loses 2 Actions per turn for one to ten minutes (roll one die), which can effectively reduce a character’s Actions to zero. Only one Test needs to be made per turn struck by the Shadow’s needles and the effect of the needles is not cumulative. A target may again be affected on the turn following his recovery from the last dose.<br/>Special: Stealth – The Shadow projects a mystical stealth field, which functions like a mecha stealth system except that all Degrees to spot it are increased one category. In addition to rapid, erratic movement, touching anything living (of dog-size or larger) will force the stealth to drop. This ability drains the Orgone of the Tager, at a rate of one point for every half hour invisible. The ability of a Shadow to use its stealth is not affected by this drain. A Shadow may even use this ability when its Orgone has been drained to zero, but Orgone will not regenerate while it is engaged.<br/>Size: Medium (6 to 7 ft. tall)<br/>Attribute Modifications:<br/>Agility +1/+3<br/>Perception +1/+3<br/>Strength -/+2<br/>Tenacity +1/+3<br/>Weapons:<br/>Thorns (+1) – These thorns grow out of the hands, forearms, shoulders, lower legs, and feet.<br/>Needle Pods – Range 25/60/170, Damage +1 (+ Poison), Shots 2, Infinite Rounds<br/>Limit Weapon:<br/>Multiport – This attack can target anything within a range of twice the Shadow’s average jumping distance. By rapidly teleporting around his target, the Shadow can take double his normal Actions – though no movement – with no Multiple Action Penalty, for one single turn. These attacks occur simultaneously.

Almost all methods fail under protracted use of her abilities though.<br/>Her body no matter her coloration is that of a very attractive young woman with a noticeable figure and voice that is best described as a 'whiskey rich sultry' that draws notice whenever she speaks.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>  Outgoing and exuberant when she has her 'face' on (the makeup) but tends to withdraw when her 'face' is threatened to be revealed. As a result she tries to avoid use of her abilities when she is out and about.<br/>When she not made up, she tends to be withdrawn and does her best to not draw attention.<br/><br/><strong>Aspirations:</strong> ""Want do I want out of life? "" To be an actress and singer, she is currently studying dramatic arts, creative writing and music with the intent of being a singer/actress. She has had some success in both fields in school as she grew up and tries to downplay her psychic powers as 'superfluous' to her goals. More realistically though she is trying to find a more pertinent role in life, though she is unaware of it.<br/><br/><strong>Motivation:</strong>  She's trying to find something in life that would make her feel 'complete'. A justification for her abilities and what it all means. To find some reason for why Fate gave her them. She is just now becoming aware of these questions and the discontent in her life that she had never realized was there. She is trying to find a place in the world where she can be accepted for who and what she is.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> Emerald has very little in the way of 'family' since her mother was practically the single survivor of Arkham, Mass. at the beginning of the First Arcanotech War. She staggered from the outskirts wreckage with little or no information of her past. What her mother did during the war, Emerald hasn't ever learned.<br/>She does know that her father was a documented supporter of Field Marshal Kyrsa, though her mother won't explain how she can to be conceived. What little experience she has had with the Nazzadi leads her to believe that she would be ostracized by the majority and quite possibly used as a 'trophy' by her father's remaining supporters so she has kept the secret to herself. Recently she has started looking into the Nazzadi culture though.<br/><br/><strong>Childhood:</strong> Born to a single parent, and raised in solitude till she was 6 years old, Emerald exploded into the school scene as soon as she was allowed in public. With the exception of a few displays of her abilities and the mandatory testing by the government she worked hard to be the 'typical schoolgirl' as she learned of it from media. She was a very outgoing and busy girl, with a variety of clubs and hobbies to keep herself occupied though her 'exuberance' did on occasion show her efforts to compensate for the 'otherworldly' air her heritage brought to her surroundings.<br/><br/><strong>Adult Life: </strong>The arrival at college has shown Emerald a much wider world than her prior experiences had led her to believe.  She has already started to develop her physical abilities with active study in dance and physical training, and is starting to develop more confidence in her abilities. She has also discovered college parties and raves, as well as developed an very enthusiastic bi-sexual lifestyle though she hasn't really connected with anyone yet due to her secret.</div></div>"

to pray.<br/><br/>One of the rarest and most powerful Tagers known to the Eldritch Society, the Efreet is a powerhouse of searing pain.  Its skin is so hot that anything touching it is scarred.  Its mace-like fists beat down walls and it can shoot flame from its mouth like a dragon breathes fire.  However, it is the thing's limit attack that is most feared, as it calls down a mystical meteor strike that smashes and burns anything within a 400 square foot area.<br/><br/>The Efreet is a proud and righteous symbiont.  Those who are bound with one begin to feel unstoppable and, while they recognize and appreciate the assets of those around them, they believe themselves to be one step above.  They also develop a burning hatred for the forces of the Old Ones and Nyarlathotep and find their moral conviction becoming as pure as fire.<br/><br/><em>Special:</em>Firestarter - The skin of an Efreet burns with heat and the seams in its ""skin"" and joints glow with fire.  While it can consciously dampen these effects, the Efreet still leaves char marks anywhere it walks or on anything it touches that is not resistant to heat and flame.  It lights things on fire with a mere touch, if its firestarting abilities are left at full effect.  Anything that physically strikes an Efreet takes one die of damage, which can be reduced by armor.  However, its radiance makes it difficult to conceal - Efreets suffer a -6 Penalty to Stealth Tests in their shifted form.  These effects are not dampened by water - in fact, the boiling water around it creates a three-yard radius cloud of partially obscuring bubbles.  The Efreet is immune to any kinds of fire, including plasma blasts.<br/><br/>Size: Medium (8 to 9 ft. tall)<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/><em>Dragonbreath</em>- Range 10/25/50, Damage +4, Shots 1, Infinite Rounds.  This attack ignites combustible materials.<br/><em>Spiked Fists</em>(+2) -

Something pounds at the air. A hideous black thing slides across the stars. Giant membranous wings carry it through the air, beating like those of some mythical fiend. There’s something about it that lets you know it’s only toying with you… The Vampire is in many ways the aerial counterpart to the Nightmare. Like its land-bound brethren, it stands more than a head taller than most other Tagers and is likewise more frightening. It also regenerates at an absurd rate, healing from death’s door to your doorstep in only a few minutes. And just plain overall, its physical gifts are better than most other Tagers. But unlike the Nightmare, massive bat-like wings sprout from the Vampire’s back. Nearly thirty feet from tip to tip, these wings are capable of carrying it high through the sky. They are death from above.<br/><br/>Everything about a Vampire screams pain. Its Exsanguinating Touch literally causes blood to boil, bursting out of the body of its victim.<br/>Those who have been tortured by Vampires typically bear terrible scarring from ruined capillaries and veins rupturing through their skin. The size of pencils but twice as thick, the stingers they fire are covered in inch-long barbs. But their most cruel and terrorizing weapon is the Bloodbath. Dropped from the air, the Bloodbath is a mystical energy bomb that causes internal hemorrhaging to those caught within its blast. Victims cough and vomit blood, while it streams from every orifice or bodily seam – eyes, ears, nose, genitals, anus, and even fingernails. It is a terrible sight to behold.<br/><br/>The Vampire is a sadistic and deadly symbiont. Those who are bound with one develop a need to inflict pain and an unholy thirst for blood combined with the patience of a predator and an arrogance borne of birds of prey.<br/><br/>Size: Medium (8 to 9 ft. tall)<br/>Attribute Modifications:<br/>Agility +1/+4<br/>Perception +1/+4<br/>Strength +1/+3<br/>Tenacity +1/+4<br/>Weapons:<br/>Exsanguinating Touch (+2) – The Vampire’s touch causes blood to boil.<br/>These mystical energies also cause decay (and therefore damage) in inanimate<br/>objects.<br/>Barbs – Range 25/50/150, Damage +3, Shots 1, Infinite Rounds<br/>Limit Weapon:<br/>Bloodbath (+6) – This cancerous crimson force bomb is dropped from the<br/>air. It bursts where it lands, throwing needle-like shards twenty feet in<br/>all directions. Living things caught within internally hemorrhage – they<br/>bleed from their noses, eyes, and ears and cough up blood. In addition<br/>to the damage, anything still alive suffers double the normal Test Penalties<br/>from their wounds for the turn they are hit and the next. This attack<br/>does not damage non-living things, but it does bypass non-mystical armor<br/>(including powered armor or mecha) and does Hybrid Damage to<br/>living things (including Outsiders and other Tagers).

My mother was a soldier and went to fight for a world where I could grow up. My father took care of me to the best of his abilities but the day the officer stopped before our house he lost his will to live. He followed her soon after, leaving me with little, and my parents relatives were all too eager to take their possessions but discard me. I suppose that could have left me jaded but I believed that they were just that way because they were desperate. This war was sparing nobody of the horrors it brought.<br/><br/>Truth is, I was scary from early on. I am black haired young man and before you ask, its not dye. I'm not a goth, but I understand why you might think that. You see, my father was always a fan of the fantastic and sometimes even outright bizarre. When my parents passed away my father left me with a tome, a particularily illegal tome in fact, that he'd acquired in the years prior to the war. Contained within were things that only later began to make sense to me. Things that would have better been left unread. My youth was spent mostly trying to deal with officials while moving from one home to another, and studying. I was a very smart child, and might have made some parents proud if not for my stubbornness and my apparent laziness.<br/><br/>I spent time with a book rather than working on improving my body through sports or whatever activities my caretakers tried to inspire me into joining. I tried sometimes, out of kindness towards them and gratitude, but it never lasted. I am not physically adept, I am more of a scholarly person. Then I came to realize that a few things in those books made sense in a strange, almost scary way. Something clicked in my head. I could make sense of it. I had heard a word for those like me. Sorcerer. Only this was less fireballs and magic missiles, and more about the right timing and right questions. There is knowledge that promises power, but that power is ruinous for those who come unprepared.<br/><br/>I've not forsaken my humanity. I seek answers, I am now an adult and no longer require a caretaker. I educate myself with what I can lay my hands on, and spend hours upon hours pouring over tomes to an obsessive extent, but it was not before a couple of bizarre murders occured in my neighborhood that I began to get a hint of what I could actually achieve. Pursuing a few rituals to gain answers, I came to realize something frightening about a nearby neighbor of mine. He was not entirely human, rather, he was human in name only anymore. I was not sure who I could contact and who would believe me so I did the only thing I could. I tried to stop it myself.<br/><br/>To this day I recall that night when I caught my breath, recovering from the savage beating I had gotten in the hands of that thing, that Dhonanoid, and the lecture from the person that pulled me away. Looking as monstrous as that thing had, just a moment ago, this human being spoke to me with words that imprinted in me for a long time to stay. ""Its alright. I'm one of the good guys."" Ironic, to fight the monsters creeping in the shadows he had become a monster himself, a Tager I came to know him as. I too volunteered then, to help prevent tragedies like that of my neighbors had faced. If he had been willing to become a hunter to destroy these monsters, I was willing to become a scholar risking my mind to pursue the answers necessary to make sure that the hunters could locate, and stop this from spreading. My parents perhaps wanted I would have a better world to live in, but unless I work for that dream too, there will be no world for any human or nazzadi anymore.<br/><br/>My name is Talon Morgan.</div></div>"

She is the type of girl that does not really mind being around people as long as they understand that she is not a fighter but a thinker. She is a very smart and powerful woman in her own right. Give her a computer and she can make your life a living hell.<br/>Bio:<br/>She was born in Okinawa, Japan, ever since little she always has been a girl of pure smarts and brains. Her parents were both psionics and they knew that their daughter would develop abilities sooner or later and when that happened they were ready to sent her away to be trained like they did. On her teens she discovered something one day, as she was walking around the streets she noticed that a hacker was taking over the city, switching traffic lights and basically making life a living hell for people. She sat in a corner and took out her computer, hearing a voice coming out from the computer she knew something was wrong. Computers did not talked like that, not really sure what was happening she stopped the hacker and they caught him quickly thanks to her help. The police gave her a comendation and she later explained to her parents what happened.<br/><br/>Knowing it was about time, her parents explained to her things that she did not knew. About the real world behind the one she knew. Without a second thought they sent her to the space station on the moon to get trained. While there she met a couple of people, but because her powers were non combat based she always was bullied in school. There was where she met her first friend, Jessy. They both started hanging out together at all times. Miyuki helped her with her homework while she helped Miyuki with physical assignments and classes. They both graduated at the same time and Miyuki was quickly assigned in a job behind a computer. She did a exelent job however one day it all went to hell. Her best friend, the girl that basically made her who she was died while on a mission, killed by a aberrant. She knew that she wanted revenge, she wanted to get back at whatever did that to her friend, however she knew that she could not do it alone.<br/><br/>A couple of weeks later she was called up to join a team of Psions in a special mission. She was briefed in and with the commander general went on their way to gather the Psions that would form a small team. Hoping that they understood her she tagged along hoping to find out who killed Jessy and take revenge on it.<br/><br/>Attributes and Abilities:<br/>Strenght: x<br/><br/>Dexterity: x<br/>Firearms: x x<br/>Pilot: x x x<br/>Stamina: x x x x<br/><br/>==-==-==-<br/>Perception: x x x<br/><br/>Intelligence: x x x x x<br/>Academics: x x x<br/>Bureaucracy: x  x x<br/>Engineering: x x x<br/>Intrusion: x x x<br/>Linguistics: x x x<br/>Science: x x x<br/>Wits: x x<br/><br/>==-==-==-<br/>Appearance: x x x x<br/>Manipulation: x<br/>Charisma: x x x x<br/><br/>Aptitude<br/>Electrokinesis:<br/>Basic ability: Static burst<br/><br/>x Power Surge<br/>xx Interface<br/>xxx Lockout<br/>xxxx Transmit<br/>xxxxx Microwave Burst<br/><br/><br/>Background:<br/>Cipher: x x x x<br/>Devices: x x x x<br/>Resources: x x x x<br/>Status: x x x x x<br/>Flaws:<br/>Obesssion: Computer (5 points)<br/>Coward: (3 points) (Battle situations)<br/><br/><br/>(http://virtualcouchblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sexy_girl_glasses1.jpg)"

While the projection is of a 20th-century American general, Patton has extensive data on every major military mind and tactical analysis of the past three centuries. Although usually quite useful, Patton has been known to cross-reference obscure details at inconvenient times. Tech: Q,<br/>Performance: 4<br/>Applications: Administration 1, Current Events 1, Geography 3, History 4, Linguistics 3, Mathematics 3, Politics 1, Regulations 3, Tactics<br/><br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>Psychokinesis:<br/>Basic Technique<br/>Temperature Control: It's hard for a psychokinetic to resist exerting his power even slightly over his surroundings.<br/>The psion adjusts the temperature of his surroundings almost ref lexively to a range that he finds comfortable or that<br/>reflects his current mood. This technique is harmless to all but the most sensitive devices, but anyone near the<br/>psychokinetic will certainly feel the temperature change.<br/>System: Roll Psi; your character can raise or lower the temperature in a small area (roughly a three-meter radius<br/>centered on him) by up to 15 °C. The adjusted temperature drops off rapidly beyond the effect's radius until it equals<br/>the ambient temperature. The change lasts as long as your character concentrates (+1 difficulty to other actions while<br/>maintaining this effect), and temperature returns to normal 10 minutes afterward.  Each extra success rolled can either<br/>add one degree Celcius to the temperature variation or extend the duration for one minute beyond the time of<br/>concentration.<br/><br/>CRYOKINESIS:  The universe may not be an orderly place, but that can always be changed. That's the philosophy<br/>behind Cryokinesis: imposing order on overactive molecules, slowing their motion, cool ing the objects they comprise.  A potent cryokinetic can lower the temperature of almost any object, even a person; either pleasantly cooling<br/>his subject — or freezing it solid.<br/><br/>• Thermal Screen: The first thing any self-respecting Legionnaire learns is how to protect himself.  By drawing in<br/>ambient heat, the psion can shield himself From the worst effects of exposure, cold damage or even from cryokinetic<br/>attacks. This effect can make the psion's immediate surroundings even colder as the psychokinetic absorbs more and<br/>more heat energy.<br/>System: Spend a Psi point and roll; each success adds one point to your character's soak against both Bashing and<br/>Lethal cold effects. The screen lasts for the rest of the scene. At 4 Cryokinesis, the Thermal Screen may be extended<br/>around your character a number of meters in radius equal to half his Psi score (rounded up).  While this power is in<br/>effect, your character's infra-red register increases drastically since he's gathering heat around himself (anyone with<br/>IR-sensing equipment who monitors your character's position gets one automatic success to pick up his signature).<br/><br/>• • Hypothenmic Blast: The psion focuses a quick blast of supercooled air at a target. The sudden freezing effect visibly frosts the air between psion and subject, and can slow the target's metabolism or even cause Frostbite.<br/>System: Spend one point and roll Psi in a resisted action against the target's Endurance. Every extra success you roll translates into one Bashing Health Level applied to the victim (this damage bypasses soak). Additionally, every two extra successes put the target at +1 difficulty to all actions for the next three turns as her limbs become numb.  If the target has Thermal Screen up, she may add its rating to her Endurance total for the resisted roll.  Your character may affect a target at a range of up to 10 times his Psi rating in meters. Upon reaching four dots in Cryokinesis, your character may affect a number of targets equal to his Psi score, simultaneously (if they're within range). Each target's roll and the results are resolved individually against your single roll.<br/><br/>• • • Flash Freeze: The psion slows the motion of free liquids, freezing them to solids in the space of seconds.  This effect can be used on such high-temperature liquids as boiling water or molten metal, although the higher the substance's current temperature the more challenging this becomes. Flash Freeze is not effective against living beings or other complex organisms.  This power may also be used for less direct effects, such as condensing and freezing surrounding water vapor (a psion could Fill his drink with ice and dehumidiFy the room at the same time).<br/>System: Spend one Psi point and roll.  The number of extra successes required to freeze a target depends on the substance and its current temperature. The chart below indicates the number of successes needed to freeze a substance with an ambient temperature between 10 ""C and 40 °C. The target remains frozen until it thaws naturally back to ambient temperature (for particularly large or dense substances, this could take hours).<br/>Successes<br/>Needed   Substance<br/>One      Water<br/>Two      Alcohol<br/>Three      Oil<br/>Four       Liquid Nitrogen<br/>Five       Mercury<br/>A greater number of successes may be required for significantly hotter substances. Generally, the Storyteller may require an extra success for every additional 40 °C that a substance is above 40 ""C. If you don't roll the full number of successes required, your character can still reduce the substance's temperature by an amount that the Storyteller feels is suitable.  A surface or object affected by this power suffers the effects of a drastically reduced temperature, from Frosted- or iced-over surface to brittleness to possibly permanent structural damage. Specifics are up to the Storyteller.  Your character can affect a substance that is up to his Psi score in meters radius at a range of up to five times this Mode's rating in meters (at 3 Cryokinesis, he can Flash Freeze a substance up to 15 meters away). At 4 Cryokinesis, he may Freeze a number of separate substances equal to his Psi score, simultaneously.<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>HISTORY:<br/>History:<br/>Despite his lack of psychic abilities, Major Darian Connel was a war hero who had lead both American forces and psychokinetic Legionaries against Aberrant forces on American soil.  He was thirty six the day he accepted a promotion too a primarily behind desk position, and within a few years he had a beautiful wife and a baby daughter.<br/>Though she had  her mother's looks and sense of fashion, Cassandra was her daddy's girl almost from the beginning.  She traded girl scouts for ROTC as soon as she could, and despite her unimpressive results in areas where she didn't apply herself, forced her way down the fast track to west point through sweat and sheer determination.<br/>She left herself little time for friends or love, and as such never felt particularly awkward for the pledge to remain virginal 'til marriage her preacher extracted from her.  Church was the thing to do when she wasn't training, and she was proud to do both.  What was there not to be proud of?  So she wore the virgin ring 'til she could replace it with a wedding ring.<br/>At west point, she met a girl she connected with immediately.  Joanne Johnson was much smarter than she was, but had come from a poor background and thus had to perform her way through a similar series of obstacles to Cassandra's B level academics.  Cassandra attached herself to Joanne as friend and rival, and Joanne hated every moment of it.<br/>It seemed to Joanne that she was being hounded by a condescending snob who constantly taunted her every time she fell behind and mocked her every victory.  It didn't help that she couldn't shake an attraction to the high and mighty bitch.<br/>Both girls continued on the same track throughout their careers, summoned to the Prometheus chambers to unlock their psionic abilities.  (Joanne was fire, Cassandra was ice.)<br/>Neither was sent back to the American legion but sent into space with the Phoenix legion.<br/>It seemed to Cassandra that her friends were to be found wherever she went, her father (now a major general) received command of an off earth base, and some of the people she'd known on base growing up where there to contact still.  Joanne was even on her ship.<br/>"

He's a fairly pleasant fellow, but has spent far too much time in a laboratory or a classroom in his younger years, being physically fit and in a good shape, but overall he's a bit weak. He knows his limits but they irritate him nonetheless. He is smart, and usually thinks quick on his feet, and he's a bit above the average when it comes to looks and charm.<br/><br/>He is a terrible liar and a manipulator though, being raised up on the principle of honesty, and he doesn't always seem to realize it either that some people just are not willing to tell the truth. He might be a bit gullible as such, for a little while, but he tends to catch on when his mind notices something that does not add up.<br/><br/>Black haired and brown eyed, he is a caucasian male with a good upbringing, protective parents, a good upbringing and fine grades in his classes, and an empathic personality.<br/><br/>Timothy works as a caregiver, tending to try and take care of people where he can, assist them with all his efforts. When he became aware he had psychic abilities, he was a bit wary about them, but upon learning exactly what they were for, he was thrilled. He could heal people, tend to others even when there were no materials present to take care of things the normal, scientific way.<br/><br/>He is a calm, friendly man, not the most social guy for his looks, but a doctor in a comfortable position with the AEscalupians, and in possession of a fair share of wealth, both from his work as a doctor and researcher, and from some personal investments he has been making. He has kept away from more dangerous work till now, but has began to question what he is doing with his life. He has achieved a measure of financial security, he has a nice position and he is not sure if he actually wants to tackle the higher steps in status within the Order yet, and he has been looking for something that would let him help people and do something that matters.<br/><br/>That's when an offer arrived, an offer that was too tempting to refuse...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Added Merits & Flaws, and revised Linguistics contents, based on material from Aeon Trinity Player's Guide.<br/><br/>On the Merits & Flaws; If these are unacceptable, I'll remove them as the Storyteller wishes. The 'Patient' merit seemed like it fit the doctor's personality rather well, and I can see him having a bit of rivalry with someone he probably used to work with, before he became a Psion. As luck would have it, perhaps this same person is aboard the same mission.<br/><br/>As for the Animal Magnetism/Horny pairing, I am willing to remove those if the ST considers them a bit unsuitable. Reasoning behind them being he tries to be a good, friendly fellow, and honestly cares for people, having something a bit primal, protective quality about him. He lacks the 'usual' flaw of AEsculapians, Soft-Hearted, because he can harden his heart and hurt someone if he has to, showing that protective side has its claws too, for those who would harm those that he protects. The Horny flaw, figure he's a bit suspectible to temptation, perhaps not even conscious about it at first, flirting a bit too easily, but meaning it with good humor. Figure he might end up spending willpower from time to time, trying to be a good man and not cause such trouble to his patients/coworkers/friends.<br/><br/>On the Linguistics: The 4th language comes from the Aeon Trinity Player's guide that marks the Linguistics to actually go 1,2,4 in additional skill number, compared to the core book 1,2,3 approach. Will remove last language listed if prefered.<br/><br/><hr/>Bonus Points: 15<br/>Spending List:<br/>-Psi +1, Cost: 5<br/>-Willpower +1, Cost: 2<br/>-Modes +2, Cost: 8"

Her mother was an ambiguously caucasian mix of ethnicities, while her father was of both Korean and Chinese descent. The closest thing to an accurate description of how Melissa looks, at least in terms of complexion and facial structure, would be ""oriental, probably-Chinese, with definitely a bit of something western in there.""<br/><br/>She's just barely under five and a half feet tall, breaking that mark in any decent pair of shoes. If permitted to hang loose, her jet-black hair would reach to the bottoms of her shoulder blades and underside of her breasts; accordingly, it's almost never allowed to. A loose, poofy bun is Mel's preferred hairstyle (giving her something of a classic librarian look, when paired with her glasses), with braids or ponytails being featured rarely.<br/><br/>Her build is fit, though perhaps not athletic. Plenty of cardio and a reasonably healthy diet have kept her in good shape, but beyond that she more or less avoids exercise and strenuous physical exertion when she can do so without actively dodging responsibility.<br/><br/>Melissa spent a significant portion of her adult life to date dealing with foreign dignitaries, businessmen, psions, and other people who the Ministry deemed would benefit from the use of her powers. As such, she became rather habitually attentive to keeping her appearance prim. What few blemishes her skin spots are typically concealed by clothing or make up, and for outfits she prefers plain yet crisp garments that look almost like casual business suits. Her fingernails are often polished light pink, clear, or charcoal gray, though she's recently taken to experimenting with pearly white and a sky blue she claims matches her eyes (it doesn't; it's off by a few shades).<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Background</span></strong><br/>Melissa was the second of her family's three children, born and in mainland China. Growing up, she was exceptionally unexceptional. She was not particularly athletic, of average intelligence, not inclined to any sort of arts or science. That, if anything, made her unique within her family. Her father worked for the Chinese government, and her mother was a noetic scientist who'd moved to the country to be part of a fairly prestigious--at the time--research project.<br/><br/>Her older brother proved to be fantastically intelligent, an exemplary student with math and science; her younger sister, on the other hand, was an all-around prodigy, excelling at sports and academics, and socially popular. Melissa herself was... ordinary. She was average almost to the point of it being a fault. Her parents did not set their expectations unrealistically high for her, but growing up she always felt as if she was somehow insufficient.<br/><br/>By the time she was had finished her high school education, Melissa had, as far as she was concerned, no idea what she wanted to do with her life, no appreciable skills to speak of, and nothing to make her stand out to any of the handful of universities her parents had recommended.<br/><br/>It certainly came as a surprise when she was singled out as someone with latent psionic talent. She'd fantasized about it, certainly--how 'cool' it would be to have psionic abilities, how then she'd stand out even among her family, how she wouldn't have to deal with the constant, niggling anxiety of realizing that she was going nowhere and reality wasn't planning on waiting around for her to get her act together.<br/><br/>The still-young Ms. Ling leapt at the opportunity to reach for that idealized reality. Of course, it didn't quite turn out that way, but she emerged from a Ministry Prometheus Chamber with one thing she'd lacked for the past almost two decades: a sense of purpose.<br/><br/>Perhaps her background caused her myopic focus, a desire to be seen as extraordinary, to excel at least in something... or perhaps it was just how her powers naturally manifested. Mels telepathic abilities manifested exclusively in the form of direct mind-to-mind mental connections; mindshare, in common parlance.<br/><br/>As much as that left her lacking, it also meant she was a young, gifted, ultimately relatively inconsequential--compared to her seniors, at least--psion with abilities not commonly seen outside of people who generally had fairly important duties to tend to. The Ministry offered her a post as a translator and sometimes-diplomat, and she leapt at it. The work suited her abilities perfectly, nobody with far greater skill and viability had to work below their potential to take care of it, and she was ecstatic to feel like she was finally a faceless blank slate.<br/><br/>She was successful beyond expectations in her job, but ultimately there were better uses for a psion of her talents... and she was falling into the trap of a comfort zone. She finally had something she was good at, something where she wasn't constantly encountering people who were effortlessly better than her giving her all; why should she try to move upwards or outwards, and face that again?<br/><br/>The Ministry had other ideas, and after several years of that Melissa Ling found herself being shipped off into space to serve as, primarily, translator (both as needed amongst the crew, and in case the ship were to encounter any species with whom normal communication proved impossible), though her powers had by then evolved sufficiently to potentially offer more strategic options.<br/><br/><br/>((Notes: 3 BP unspent and items unselected, due to not being particularly certain on the guidelines for what can reasonably be brought along as starting equipment.

At extremes, Pyrokinesis allows a psion to direct the path of excited molecules, exhibiting control over the very size and shape of flames.<br/><br/>• Flame Immunity: This basic defensive effect enables the psion to vent excess heat away from himself reflexively. The psion can use Flame Immunity to resist damage from fire, heat or even superheated plasma.  <br/>System: Spend a Psi point and roll; each success adds one point to your character's soak against both Bashing and Lethal heat or fire effects. This resistance may also be used against superheated effects such as plasma or lasers, but at half the total successes rolled (rounded up).  This effect activates automatically and lasts for the remainder of the scene. At 3 Pyrokinesis, Flame Immunity may be extended around your character over a number of meters in radius equal to half his Psi score (round up). With four dots in Pyrokinesis, this radius increases equal to your character's full Psi score.  In contrast to Thermal Screen, this power reduces your character's infra-red signature while in effect since he's dissipating heat away from himself (those with IRsensing equipment who monitor in his direction are at +1 difficulty to detect your character's register).<br/><br/>• • Heatburn: The psychokinetic fires a burst of superheated air at the subject. The blistering heat ripples visibly From the psion to his target, and can cause sudden burns and dehydration in living targets, or can ruin data-storage media.  This power actually has a few beneficial applications, as well; the psychokinetic can dehydrate Food For easy travel, or can dry out a wet piece of equipment with the proper control.<br/>System: When this power is used against living targets, spend one point and roll Psi. If the roll is successful, your character locks onto his target, and the<br/>extreme heat inflicts a Bashing damage Dice Pool equal to his Pyrokinesis score. You may add one die to the damage effect for every success achieved on the Psi<br/>roll. Heatbum ignores any armor except those defenses (such as environmental suits or Flame Immunity) that specifically resist such attacks. Beyond being subject to the effects of extreme heat (see Sources of Injury — Temperature Extremes,<br/>page 256), living targets may be subject to the effects of dazing and unconsc iousness (refer to Maneuver Complications, page 246).<br/>Heatbum is handled somewhat differently when used against electronic devices. Spend one Psi and roll, as above. <br/>1 However, this is a resisted action against the device's fail-1 safe rating (if any). Each extra success on your roll equals a dot reduced permanently from the device's system due<br/>to intense heat damage. A standard roll is usually enough to wipe an unprotected disk's data storage.<br/>Your character may affect a target at a range of up to 10 times his Psi rating in meters. At four dots in Pyrokinesis, your character may affect a number of targets equal to his Psi score, simultaneously (if they're within range). Each target's roll and the results are resolved  individually against your single roll.  <br/><br/>• • • Ignition: The psion excites the molecules combustible objects, bursting them into flames. The materials must be readily flammable — although the psion can set someone's shirt on fire, he can't ignite her tongue.   <br/>System: Spend one point and roll Psi to cause a Flammable target to burst into flames.   The ignition point itself is only a few centimeters in size, but the Fire it starts can grow and blaze for some time before burning out. Ignited targets burn for a number of turns equal to the Psi successes rolled. The Storyteller may increase this duration if the flammable target is of significant size or if it comes in contact with other combustible materials.  <br/>A person in contact with a burning object suffers two dice of Lethal damage in the first turn, four dice the second turn and five dice each subsequent turn until the last in which the fire burns (during which damage dice return to two). If the fire lasts only three turns,   <br/>ignore the five-dice effect. If the fire burns for only two turns, roll two dice of Lethal damage each turn.  Injuries From Fire are handled like any other Fire damage (see Sources of Injury — Fire, page 255). The victim stops taking damage if the flames are doused or she breaks contact with the source.<br/>Your character can set off a target at a range of up to five times the Mode's rating in meters (at 5 Pyrokinesis, he could ignite a target up to 25 meters<br/>away). At five dots in Pyrokinesis, he may light up number of separate targets within range equal to his] Psi score, simultaneously.  <br/><br/>• • • • Liquefy: One of the more dramatic appellations of Pyrokinesis, this power enables the psion to excitant object's molecular structure so intensely that it shifts a solid to a liquid state. The effect works best on material with a low melting point; cheap plastic is ridiculously simple; to liquefy compared to titanium. Although Liquefy can't be, used on living beings, it can certainly damage them indirectly — a person touching molten metal is injured severely;<br/>Truly powerful psychokinetics are said to be able to liquefy materials such as wood that would normal combust at high temperatures; the degree of control this requires is staggering.  <br/>System: Spend two points and roll Psi; the number of successes required to melt a target depends on the substance.  The chart below indicates the number of successes needed to liquefy some sample materials. The targeted substance takes a number of turns to melt completely equal to the successes needed to liquefy it (so orbital steel fc three turns to reach a liquid state). The object's tremendous heat buildup is evident visually and by touch (contact with the substance as it melts inflicts three dice of<br/>damage), giving savvy individuals time to clear the area.  Once liquefied, the substance returns to a solid state in a number of minutes equal to the success needed to melt it (although the subject usually solidifies in a dramatically different shape).  <br/><br/>Successes Needed<br/>1   Plastic<br/>2   Copper<br/>3   Orbital Steel<br/>4   Granite<br/>5   Olaninium<br/>IF you don't roll the full number of successes required, your character can still increase a substance's temperature by an amount that the Storyteller Feels is suitable.  Your character can affect a material up to his Psi score in meters radius (as long as it's within a range of 10 times his Psi rating in meters). At 5 Pyrokinesis, he may liquefy a number of targets equal to his Psi score, simultaneously.  Liquefy can also be used to thaw a frozen liquid (simply use the success chart under Flash Freeze).  <br/><br/>Telekenisis<br/>--Tow<br/>--Remote Manipulation<br/><br/>1 Flaw: Impatient (-1 dice on subsequent rolls of extended actions.)  <br/>4 Flaw: Mode Disfunction:  If she learns Cryokinesis, she’s at -1 to rolls and +1 Psi point to use it.  <br/>2 Flaw: Vengeful (She never forgets a slight and must make a willpower roll at -1 to avoid repaying any injury at -1 at the earliest opportunity.)  <br/><br/>History:  Growing up in Sidney, Blaze spent her youth avoiding classes, racing cars, learning muy thai from her uncle, and picking fights with rich bullies above retribution.   <br/>   When her psychokinetic potential was noted, the Legion recruiter was a bit reluctant to take a girl with so many demerits through the Prometheus chambers when in earlier years recruiters would have admired her fighting spirit and counted on legion discipline to straighten her out.  <br/>   An Aeon Trinity detective named Herman Guzman offered her a post as his assistant.  Herman was considered a bit of a loose cannon himself, but his results were inpecable.  He specialized in investigating drug cartels with links to aberrant tainted plants.  He had made friends in NORCA, but was afraid that too much word of what he did was filtering through NORCA he knew he could trust too NORCA he wasn’t so certain of, and there were times when he needed not just a replacement for his retired bodyguard but someone who could scorch the earth too it’s roots, cleansing the land with fire.  <br/>In her short years in his service, Blaze has fought strung out assasins bare handed, reduced steel drug factories to molten metal with their owners inside, and scorched tainted coca fields too the root.  <br/>   <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>WEAPONS:  <br/>• Enhancer gauntlet: This bioapp channels the energy produced by Electrokinesis and Psychokinesis effects.  Focusing it into the gauntlet's power cell. Stored psionic energy is magnified by the cell, allowing the emitter to produce a potent laser beam. The gauntlet stores up to 10 shots: after that, your character can fire an additional shot for each Psi point spent, The beam acts like a conventional laser. The enhancer must recharge for two hours to regain the standard 10 shots.  If this gauntlet is formatted to the user, it adds two dots to your character's Modes, thereby increasing his effective level. Your character is restricted to the power effects at his actual level, but his Mode ratings act as two dots higher for determining such things as a power's range, duration or area of effect.  It is difficult, though not impossible, to burn out an enhancer's active cells, inflicting a severe migraine or even physical injury on the user. IF an attack roll is botched while using an enhancer, make an Attunement backlash roll (see page 1?1). Obviously, use of this bioapp is restricted to psions with the Electrokinesis or Psychokinesis Aptitude.<br/><br/>Attack Dice   4<br/>Damage Dice   +7<br/>Range      450<br/>ROF      2<br/>Attunement   3<br/><br/>• Bioweave Armor: This armor is formed by connective tissue and modified spider silk. The bioweave conforms to your character's body, ever shaping myriad tiny holes to allow hair to grow through. A layer of doming covers most of the bulk that this armor adds to your character's body. The armor's exterior is soft and flexible, and taps into the wearer's skin cells for color coding, disguising it from detection by all but close examination.  The organism gets nutrients From your character's body through connected microfibers. The bioweave peels away easily with a special release spray, and relaxes for easy storage.  Access to bioweave armor is restricted, and it must be formatted to your character.

She reguarded the paper before her, pondering deeply. Full lips puckered in concentration, before she finally dipped the quil into the inkwell and began the graceful sweeping motions that made up finely excecuted handwriting. It was sweeping and graceful, swirling in an intricate pattern of functionability. When she finished penning the necessary words, she set the quil aside, capped the ink, and leaned forward to blow on the still wet ink.<br/><br/>Azure eyes flickered over the list, apprasing it one last time to make sure all was in order. She had thought long and hard about the contents, pouring over each profile that had been set before her, and finally settling on a final decision. There would likely be a need for a few tweaks, but Adonia would see to it that the group was under her watchful eye at all times. That was how quality products were produced.<br/><br/>Adonia's own burden was double with this new load of slaves. Two girls for that matter. The Mistress of the Academy was looking for a new girl, and she hoped that one of the two she was about to take on would prove promising. The young Mistress rang a dainty silver, summoning a small looking waif of a girl. The petite little sprite, with blonde riotous locks and sharp blue eyes moved in slowly, settling before the desk in a low sweeping curtsy that belled the full, yet simple skirts about her small frame.<br/><br/>""You rang my lady?"" Nothing more than a beat of a second had passed before the blonde had entered, alerting Adonia that the girl had been quite near.<br/><br/>""Take this list to the training grounds. There the new slave batch and the Master and Mistresses are waiting. Give the list to them, and have them pair off according to the demands I have set forth. Send Marco in to see me, I wish to discuss some things with him. Have him bring his newest student. And send in my two as well.""

Azure eyes took the girl in with a cold, calculating glance.<br/><br/><br/>""First off girl, you are far from a Duchess. I will assure you that.

It was rather easy to pick up due to how casual her words were. He couldn't help but want to retaliate, but felt would be easier if he had just let it go. As much as he despised his sister, he knew it wasn't the right time for him to uncensor himself. A barbarian wouldn't have hesitated in holding his tongue, and would have easily paid for it. Marco was much wiser than that, knowing when to pick his battles, mainly so that he could turn out as the victor.<br/><br/>Still, the brother's attention was grabbed by Adonia's offer to him. Right away, he was disguted by it. The position she offered him was rather meaningless to him since she was still to become of a higher class than him. It was obvious that she was trying to keep him satisfied while still making sure that he couldn't touch her. Marco should have declined to prove a point, but that would mean revealing his true intentions. Also, he knew that having the title would make the organizing of his plans rather easy considering his social status would be at a greater ranking than that of his other two siblings.<br/><br/>The decision was a tough one to make, but Marco managed to avoid falling into the trap of anger, pride, and envy of his mind as he finally responded to his sister.

""It seems like your toy isn't too pleased about it, though.""<br/><br/>His head then turned to the two other females standing aacross the room, just watching as he and his sister went about themselves. Marco stood up and approached them, observing each of their figures as he tried to decide which one would suit his training methods more. He knew that his sister had already paired him up with the slave known as Rhiannon, but the one known as Grace had enough fire in her eyes that told him she'd be a tough one to crack as well. ""So... Dutchess... I'd like to request a trade with our partnered slave."" Marco asked right in front of the girls as if they were merely objects. ""This one would be more suited for me.""

During her journey from the borderlands she had assumed she was being transported to the heart of the empire to face public execution. The grizzled old veteran driving the caged tumbrel had merely laughed when she had demanded her final destination of him, answering unhelpfully that she'd know soon enough when she arrived. Instead of the imperial prison or arena that she'd been expecting the old soldier had delivered her to what was clearly a private estate. She'd raided enough of them in her career as a reiver to recognise that, though this one was oddly built with some ulterior purpose.<br/><br/>The key to the slave transport had obviously been sent on ahead, when she'd arrived a couple of hours ago a minion had unlocked and swung open the door. Angrily glaring and brushing away the offerred hand she had jumped lightly down from the caged cart and stared around curiously at her new surroundings. Was this the home of the officer that had taken her, or had he sold her onwards?<br/><br/>""Enjoy your new home bitch."" The soldier responsible for her transport had laughed. ""Think yourself fortunate, if the choice had been mine you'd have died in the arena. Maybe a troll or an ogre fucking you to death would have been amusing to the mob.""<br/><br/>Rhiannon had launched a gob of spittle in response, hitting the soldier in the face. For a moment he had seemed about to strike her down, but had restrained himself with effort and laughed once again as he wiped his face with his sleeve.<br/><br/>""Well the bitch is yours, make of her what you will."" Were his final words.<br/><br/>Since that time, no move had been made to remove the steel cangue that had been fitted about the redhead's slender neck and she had waited impatiently for some explanation as to this villa's purpose and her reason for being delivered here. Nearly all her gear had been stripped from her when she had been captured, only the tattered tunic worn beneath her armour and her sandals had been left. One shoulder strap had ripped during the struggle of her capture and with her wrists fastened in the metal stock she had no ability to make repair. The tunic hung from the remaining strap, exposing one ripe breast with it's dark red nipple hardened by exposure to the breeze.<br/><br/>Around her were a mixed group comprised of well dressed empire citizens and slaves. Most of the slaves were young and comely women. Despite her present predicament Rhiannon still appreciated the ripe girlflesh around her, thinking on how in recent times she would have taken great pleasure in carrying off such slaves from border villages and estates.<br/><br/>At last a slender blonde slavegirl had approached the small group that Rhiannon sulked on the periphery of. Reading from a scroll the girl had read off a list of pairings. Rhiannon understood the language well enough and started as her name was read out, pairing her with a master Marco. She glanced around her wondering which of those that were obviously empire citizens was this Marco.<br/><br/>The girl concluded with instructions that commanded Marco to convey her and another two slaves to a Lady D'enes. Rhiannon steeled herself for whatever ordeal lay ahead, whoever this Marco and Lady D'enes were she would endure the worst they could do. She was a Cenii warrior and the neither these weak imperial cowards or the stout walls of this villa would hold her for long."

She was not used to such grandiose buildings, so much noise and so many people. It made her think of all the things that she was missing but would never see again, the sacked village burned to the ground was lost to her now. The bodies of her family and friends branded onto her memory. It was the thought of them that brought fire to her eyes and to her actions, anger pure and simple to the man that had taken her.<br/><br/>They had no reason to do what they did, it was a farming community, hunting, fishing and agriculture were the only pastimes but their strangely accented voices suggested that it was a training ground. After two weeks of her biting, kicking, spitting and clawing at the son of a bitch that had snatched her up instead of slicing her down to join the rest of her family it was clear he had had enough. She hoped that some of her scratch marks would scar but doubted she had ended with a good enough shot. His punishments had been swift and brutal until he had finally decided that if he wanted to retain her and use her that she needed proper training with people that had more skill and patience than he. If he continued he would kill her out of frustration and anger.<br/><br/>The cloak she wore was the only thing that she had been able to snatch from her destroyed home, the worn black material formed a frame about her face, her riotous red hair barely contained within it. She kept it wrapped tightly around her knowing that the rags underneath; laughingly considered a tunic left her flesh exposed in such a way that it was unacceptable to her. She was not demure, she understood what it was to lay with a man it was just that she had never done it, never been presented with a betrothed that would have had such a right to her body. Here it seemed that most exposed their flesh to varying degrees and she was one of them if she allowed this to continue.<br/><br/>She observed those around her, heard a woman correct the slave in the pronunciation of her name angrily. Did it really matter? All she cared about was leaving this place, getting away from the nightmare that she found herself in and making sure she never saw the odious fat pig of a man that destroyed her village and her life. His last beating of her had almost faded, though she could still feel where the whip had lashed across her back, thighs and torso. He had even exposed her breasts and beaten them to her shame. No she was glad to be out of his control, now it was just a case of getting out of here...she didn't want to be anybodies spoils of war."

Darkness seeped up around the hem of her cloak, her jaw working slowly as she clenched her teeth, before she let forth a long, shaking sigh. That one was not for her. Perhaps a good thing.

Slaves must not think they have any rights. They exist to serve the whims of their masters. Occasionally – if they are very lucky – they might receive some kindness. The trick is to convince the slave that these ‘rewards’ are not ‘earned’ – like the favour of the Gods, they are bestowed almost randomly. All the slave can be sure of is punishment for infractions.<br/><br/>Maschor is a large man with wide shoulders, and he knows how to use his build to loom over a slave. He also knows how to handle them physically. Handsome, blonde haired, with a trim beard and the same dark eyes as the rest of his family.

Still, he needed to contain his hate for the slave girl, knowing the consequences if he gave her the beating that she rightfully deserved. On top of the fact that he'd have to hear his sibling's irritating voice, he didn't want to risk losing his rights to the family fortune.

Apparently the universe had decided to get in just one last joke at her expense. She chose not to be too bitter about that, and her mood had stayed bright even though it took the entire morning (as much as 'morning' existed in space) to not want to go find a coffin to crawl into.<br/><br/>Despite the gravity of their mission, she'd spent the rest of the time leading up to the mission, of all things, combing her hair and painting her nails.

Something to help placate the yowling beast called anxiety that had been ravaging her thoughts and overall wellness, a way to slowly unwind the knot in her chest. It was nearly mindless, but took enough of her focus that she could avoid worrying too deeply about everything else.<br/><br/>When the announcement was made, of course, there was no longer any time for such concerns, any more than there would have been for meditation or a cold shower. Once the ship has cleared the station she does as instructed, making her way to the conference room.<br/><br/>The look she'd gone for was ultimately a series of compromises. Her dark hair had been gathered up into a thick, tight bun, with two short, hand-crafted wooden hair sticks forming a flattened 'X' holding it in place. A bit more ethnic than her usual tastes would allow, but she felt the rest of the outfit made up for it. She'd gone with light colors, sporting a white shirt, pale slate-blue button-up suit jacket, and trousers matching that jacket. The heels of her shoes were elevated, though not pointed, less than half an inch above the toe; it was little enough that she could walk briskly and normally without problem, and also enough to put her firmly, unequivocally, over five and a half feet. Very ready, very business, yet not... severe. Amicably professional, if she'd been successful in conveying the impression she was going for.<br/><br/>Melissa had of course verified the room's identity before going inside, though if there'd been any doubt, the sight of the people inside--a mixed-looking group, all clearly waiting for something--confirmed that she was in the right place.

""I should be able to heal minor injuries without real trouble at the spot when necessary, but when I am working with more serious injuries my power requires more power than I can put into it."" He cleared his throat. ""Its also a safety mechanism in a way, I am not intruding with your body too much. Anyhow, the remaining energy comes from you, so you can expect to feel a little famished after a healing session."" He cleared his throat a hint, pulling the black tie around his neck a bit looser. ""I am also used to working with little science experiments and have had a full education in medical skills in case I would not be able to provide care with Iatrosis for one reason or another.""<br/><br/>He smiled a bit, and looked around. There was a primal caretaker instinct in him, protecting and providing what he could. He was not particularily strong physically but there was a strange bit of animal magnetism in him as well, possibly a side-effect of his psychic power, but primarily the fact that though he was not that strong, he was a man who was in fine health, and firm shape."

On hearing this Miyuki started running towards the control room where she saw what appeared to be a small army of aberrant ships ready for a full scale assault, “Shit”. She then looked at a corner and saw what appeared to be a black hole. “This just keeps getting worst and worst” the ship started going on alert again as the entire ship seemed to shake on a hit from a missile, “ok now they pissed me off”."

Now, you do not have to stay in these pairings..it is just a generalized pairing so that you guys can break off into groups and there isn't a cluster fuck happening in one thread.<br/><br/>Now most of this is going to be free-form. As I said there is going to be storylines weaved in and out of this, but the idea is to have you guys build the stories. Interact with each other. There are no limits on who you can interact with. However, I do ask that if you are active in one thread, that you not be active in another. If you want to move your character from one room to the next, than exit one thread, and enter the other as if you were going from one room to another one. All threads are happening at the same time. If you need another thread created, send myself or theromanticperv a message. That way we can keep track of how many posts that we get to. Because if we can reach 1000 ic posts(totally possible!) we can have our own little subforum. ^.^<br/><br/>Links for all of the threads once they are created will be posted here so that you can find them! As soon as I get the roll call and I sit down for more than ten minutes to write out the pairings..I will get a post up. That should be this evening or tomorrow morning!"

So common, so overplayed. So damn populist. If asked to name a piece of opera how many of the insects that made up this world would put forward the near perfection of<em>Già, mi dicon venal</em>from Tosca or the beauty of<em>Celeste Aida</em>from the opera of the namesake. In truth how many of the rodents that came scurrying up from the underclasses would be able to name any piece of work worthy of the name? But if they did there were no doubts it would that damn O Fortuna piece with its self-satisfied sense of arrogance that it was an epic. It wasn't an epic... it was music aimed for the lowest common denominator, for the scum of this world who thought that they deserved more than their birth had given to them. It was common and it was contemptible... the very fact that it had become the most popular work of opera was a judgement on this world and all that inhabited it. It showed how the world had fallen apart, how the world had changed, how the nations that were once great had allowed everything to fall, to be corrupted, to disappear.<br/><br/>Not that it meant that Dr Christopher Lascelles didn't occasionally enjoy listening to it.<br/><br/>He believed those course enough referred to the sensation as ""slumming it"". What better term could there be for what he did. Far from<em>real</em>civilisation, far from<em>real</em>culture, even of the gutter variety. Yes, Chris Lascelles was slumming it here in the United States. Even in the Balkans there was more culture than this, people remembered Skanderburg, remembered the Republic of Venice, remembered the Nemanjic and Basilic dynasties. The Turks may have tried to erase the idea of culture and breeding from those places but they had failed. The cream rises to the top... it always had. No, those were places which knew deference, knew respect. This, this ""New World""... it had none of that. In a different life, with a different mistress, Christopher would never have found himself here.<br/><br/>But he had a mistress. It was knowledge and when she called he followed.<br/><br/>The heart of even the true civilisations was already being eaten away. More and more those undeserving demanded ""rights"". What right had they? What had they done? What had their forefathers done other than grub away in the dirt to provide for their betters? Who were they to demand anything of him? To scream for protection, for liberty? But alas they had demanded and they had screamed and weak willed lillyspittle's who had crawled up from the muck with them had given in, cowering when they should have been strong, sobbing when they should have been magnificent. Nietzsche had been right, about watching a civilisation torn apart from within by those who were weak and needy, pathetic without strength or purpose. But hindsight was no protection now and Christopher had followed his love, followed it into the realms where it was allowed to not confirm to the niceties of modern living, however uncivilised they were. That did not mean he had to enjoy his location though.<br/><br/>Not that you could tell any of that from his blissfully serene face as he sat in his office, perfectly trimmed fingers drumming softly on his oak desk as Carl Orf's brutality wafted from the speakers to fill the room. It was a nice room, functional, exactly what you'd expect a psychologists office to be. Not that much of his work took place here... there were other rooms in the facility for that... but it was nice to have... for appearances if nothing else. Christopher had put up with circumstances far worse in his time... an office that consisted of little more than a bombed out apartment in a tower block, a thin sheet replacing a missing wall... a large tent in a desert where the heat seeped into your very bones... little more than a clearing in a forest where each session ran the constant threat of snowfall or gunfire. No, compared to those places the facilities he had here were a little slice of heaven. And if you give a great man the right tools he can do great things.<br/><br/>And Dr Christopher Lascelles was certainly great.<br/><br/>There was a new shipment of patients today. Christopher was somewhat excited although of course he would never deign to show it. Each new patient brought new stories, new chances, new investigation to be done. A new challenge, a new opportunity. And for all their sins the administration that had set him up here showed a delightful ability to bring him particularly interesting cases. He was sure the near future would be full of excitement and pleasure... for him at least, if not for the others. Not that they were brought here specifically for him. No, not at all. Despite being a world leader in his chosen field... probably the world leader considering the narrowness of it, despite having served his paymaster well for years... and the very thought of paymasters would make him grind his teeth if not for his manners... no, instead he was merely an assistant. An influential assistant yes, an important assistant but an assistant none-the-less. And not an assistant to an Oxbridge Don with years of experience and dozens of published works. No, to a slip of a girl, a mere child... and a peasant at that. It was infuriating (although once again, not a hint of this would ever show) but it was a necessary price to pay for the opportunity he was being given. So Dr Christopher Lascelles would play along. Anything else would be below him after all and despite her lack of breeding he did have to admit that she was rather talented. For a peasant of course... to Christopher it was much like comparing himself to the world's most talented cockroach... but talented none the less.<br/><br/>A final drum of the fingers as the song ended, as the effortlessly predictable ""rousing"" epic finally died a soft death and Christopher stood, a brief moment to make sure his suit was perfectly fitted. It was of course but it never harmed to double check. He had no doubt he would soon have his first crack at the patients, individually or all together. To see how they acted, how they interacted, how they their eyes widened or closed. It was all very interesting. Very, very interesting..."

But surly? Or stubborn?<br/><br/>Well, maybe stubborn. After all he was the son of an aristocrat, a man born to be obeyed and followed even if this new world he inhabited hadn't quite reached the level of civilisation where such things were ingrained. Of course there was a stubborn streak in him... a stubbornness that did not make him bend his knee and tug his forelock to the new status quo regardless of whether it was in the ordering of society or his arts and passions. Not that you would be able to tell; Christopher never seemed stubborn, never seemed confrontational. It was wasted effort, wasted energy. Yes he'd go his own way, yes he'd back his side... but he was cunning enough to never do it directly. If you told him to do something he disagreed with he'd of course debate the point but, if ordered he would do it. The fact that he'd also do whatever it was he wanted done in such a way as to not contradict whatever order was given was beside the point.<br/><br/>But surly?<br/><br/>If Christopher was stubborn on the inside but not on the outside he was never surly. Yes he could be rude on occasion... normally in ways that most of these peasants failed to understand but bad tempered? Dr Christopher Lascelles had never been bad tempered in his life. It was so very...<em>common</em>. Breeding and the best upbringing the world could offer had wiped all traces of bad temperness from him. It just wasn't cricket was it? Being bad tempered, being obvious, being such a lout. Christopher was none of those things. He was a man born to the wrong age, a man who would have been perfectly at home in the Regency when culture and manners were respected, when Sir Arthur Wellesley had so brilliantly demonstrated the superiority of breeding over the rabble who screamed for ""liberty"" and ""equal rights"". Yes, Christopher was many things. But surly?<br/><br/><em>Surly</em>not!<br/><br/>Christopher had of course read all the files already. It would have been rude and unprofessional not to and in his own mind he was the perfect professional. Not that the so called ""professional bodies"" would agree... but they simply lacked his vision. Infiltrated by the rabble. He'd read and reread the files, glancing at every detail, every little speck of information that could be of use. Not that he expected it to be worth much; the vast majority had come from facilities within this disgusting country and the standards there were little more than you'd expect cattle or trained monkeys to achieve. Alas, such is the price of talent, of always being the best at what you do... you had to clean up the mistakes of others.<br/><br/>With the files already read there wasn't a huge amount for Christopher to do. He'd heard there were some new staff members coming but he was also sure that Alexandria would organise one of those infernal sitdown sessions where all the staff talked about who they were and what they'd done and why they were all so very very important. Perhaps by now they'd have found someone who could make a decent cup of tea... and god forbid maybe someone who could bake a scone that didn't taste of death. He could of course have simply sat in his office continuing to listen to opera... and he did admit the thought had crossed his mind. While the thought of new victi... sorry, patients... was exciting to him the mundane routine of actually getting them here was far less so. But a man had to pull his weight and so he left his office... locking the door behind him of course... and wandered across to the observation gallery. It was such a pretentious name for a room that was little more than a box with one-way glass in the windows, allowing him to look out at the entrance to the facility where the new inmates came and into the first processing room where they would eventually find themselves. It appeared he had picked his timing perfectly... a small scuffle appearing to be about to break out between the new arrival and orderly and a girl he could have sworn looked like Kathleen Anzaker... a former patient although not one he had got to spend any significant time with. Utterly loyal to Alex from what he recalled. How interesting..."

Then however the question, why out of all the famous institutions in the world, she had come here. His reasoning was simple, the patients were said to be tough plus if he could prove to the rest of the world and to himself that he was a better psychologist then, then his trip here would be worthwhile.

He figured that this would be just like all of the others. He would arrive and all of the staff would be excited and promised that they would help him get better, but Mark didn't didn't need any help for he felt fine but he played along with them all. Sometimes he would dance to their tune and act like he had made a breakthrough to their delight just to then relapse into what he was, enjoying their dismay when they wondered what it was that caused him to relapse. Never once were they able to figure out that he was only playing with them, although one doctor got close to figuring it out. A shame he would never know as a patient had soon gone off the deep end and killed the doctor. Another one of Mark's work.<br/><br/>Now he sat there with a small smile on his face as he looked forward to toying with this new staff as well, as he planned on having as much fun as he could as it was said that the best staff was maintained here. That only said to Mark that this would merely be a challenge that he looked forward to. He felt the van stop and watched as the two white coat wearing men stepped out from the front and opened on of the side doors and dragged Mark out into the light. He blinked a few times before his eyes adjusted to the bright light and he looked at to what would be his new home for a little while. He didn't get to look at it long as he was soon taken inside in a hurry as the two men wished to be away with Mark as quickly as they could and stood before the door to Alex's room where someone else was already standing there waiting and knocked onto it. ""We have a transfer for you."" the large man said and then fell silent as he waited patiently for a reply.<br/><br/>Mark looked up at the man as they all waited, unsure of what it was that they were waiting for when he smiled. He figured that the man (Christopher) worked here and his soft voice spoke. ""Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"" he asked, wondering if the man could understand what he said before he answered his own question. ""The guardians must guard themselves."" he said with a small smile before he nodded his head. ""Good luck."" was the last word that he spoke before he stood straight and stared at the door, waiting for whatever that would happen happened. He thought he could hear a voice beyond the door though and pondered what it was that the person was talking about."

Could it really be so bad? Were their failures really so great? Surely it was just arrogance and a certain amount of... almost xenophobia that made him so consistently point out the flaws in the World's Superpower. Jealousy perhaps for an Empire fallen as a new one rises? Of words like ""colour"" and ""realise"" being misspelt, of even the simplest words like aluminium and tomato being mispronounced.  Perhaps it was all just petty, a powerless man flailing against the fading light, a man convinced this century had nothing for him bitter against the changes. Perhaps it was all nothing.<br/><br/>Or perhaps there was something to it.<br/><br/>The Lily Asylum was a special place. It's patrons were summoned because they had potential... and that potential often meant they were that perfect combination of dangerous and insane. In short they were the type of people who in many societies would have been chained up in the market square and stoned to death. These were not celebrities checking into the Priory because they'd been caught doing coke one too many times and needed to appear to the world that they were facing up to their ""problem"" /even while they still blew three quarters of Columbia's GDP up their nose each weekend. It wasn't a lesser class place where the plebeians of even this world went with their depressions and /*-their little affairs of the mind. It wasn't even an asylum for the criminal insane, the murderers and the carrion of the world. It was more then that. Security and professionalism... at least in that sense... were of the utmost importance.<br/><br/>And what had these two reincarnations of Dionysius Exiguus done?<br/><br/>Brought one of the patients directly into the inner workings, into for what lack of a better term was the staff quarters.<br/><br/>And you wonder why Christopher despairs at the state of this New World?<br/><br/>He listened politely as the new patient said his piece, nodding his head in return. How droll. Pseudo-intellectual posturing with supposedly deep undertones. Almost an implied threat as well. And quoting Juvenal's interpretation? Why not go back to where it was originally stated, by Plato in his discussion on the intoxication of Guardians? No instead he'd gone for the most common and overused version of it. It's not as if Juvenal hadn't written some decent things in his time...<em>""Curius quid sentit et ambo Scipiadae, quid Fabricius manesque Camilli, quid Cremerae legio et Cannis consumpta iuventus, ot bellorum animae, quotiens hinc talis ad illos umbra venit? cuperent lustrari, si qua darentur sulpura cum taedis et si foret umida laurus. Illic heu miseri traducimur. arma quidem ultra""</em>immediately came to mind even if he he was little more than a rabble rouser who fell into the same hypocrisies he accused his targets of. There were far better of course but there were also far worse... he was no Bavius or Maevius it had to be said. Now that was a perfect comparison for the two idiots who were still stood there waiting. The slight not would be the only reaction Mark got to his piece, his next comments directed at the two orderlies.<br/><br/><strong>""I'm afraid there must have been a frightful mistake my good sirs. I do not handle transfers... or anything of the sort. If you were to turn around and retrace your steps I assure you will eventually find signs for processing and in turn for new arrivals. It is there that our new guests will be made most welcome. May I suggest you retire there for now... I assure you the appropriate person in the facilities will deal with this there."" </strong><br/><br/>Not even a hint of annoyance in a voice that remained friendly, balanced and cultured at all times."

I've been banging on above about such things but my God, come on. Let's pick out one... just one... little aspect of what I was talking about. Manners. The basis for all things, the starting point for all civilisation, a thing that should have been engrained in all people from birth. There was no excuse to not have manners, no excuse to not have common decency. People born to a proper family understood that and it was moments like this that any doubts Christopher had on his world view... that people with breeding were the only ones worthy of leading it... were pushed aside. Manners and courtesy were simple things, simple things that made the world go round. Or not so simple seemingly.<br/><br/>First Viktor, the new psychologist, took umbrage at being asked who he studied under. This was bizarre to Christopher; saying who he studied under was both a matter of pride to him (Prof Oliver Braddick, while working closely with Dr Robin Murphy if you were wondering) but it was also a matter of professional courtesy. While students often did depart from the exact letter of their teacher's methods and idea it gave a rough idea of where they started from... and aspects such as methodology often carried through. Letting someone know who they studied with or under was a good way to let people know roughly what your basic principles were and from there specifics could be drawn out rather than having to start at a blank. Basic professional courtesy.<br/><br/>Talking of professional courtesy...<br/><br/>Christopher had been standing outside Alex's door for a while now. Enough time for the Chuckle Brother's to arrive with their cargo, have a quick conversation and then depart and still there was no indication that the door would be opened. It was only when another nurse arrived and knocked on the door that there was any indication that there was even life occurring within. Three separate people coming up and knocking and it was only third time lucky that there was a response. Simple professional courtesy, alas so lacking in his new companions... although a slight sniff in the air suggested why Alex was so distracted. But each new opportunity had its challenges... from the bombed out ruins where he had been forced to work in Yugoslavia to the biting desert heat of the Middle East... this was just another challenge Dr Christopher Lascelles took with good grace and virtue. Not that he would necessarily wait around regardless. No, he did have duties to attend to and as engaging as simply standing outside a doorway was it didn't particularly help them.<br/><br/>Not that the journey... and the return trip as he made his way through the facility back to his office... was entirely wasted. The patient... Mark Kinney, easily identifiable from the file... had decided that badly quoting Juvenal wasn't enough for him but apparently had decided to throw Voltaire in there as well. Well, not actually quote Voltaire but instead badly mangle a Voltaire quote, but then again Voltaire was probably the most abused of all philosophers with entirely made up quotes regularly attributed to him. The actual quote, as anyone with any learning would tell you is<em>""Certainement qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste""</em>although Christopher did of course note that Mr Kinney hadn't attempted to say it in the native French, instead doubling the injustice he heaped on Volatire by both getting the quote wrong... the English translation of course being ""<em>Truly, whoever is able to make you absurd is able to make you unjust.</em>"" and being part of a much longer section from Questions sur les miracles dated to 1765... but also by not utilising it in French where the phonetics expand on the very point itself.<br/><br/>But that wasn't the most interesting point. No, no, no, the lummox who had brought the man to him and delivered him to Alex's door had delivered that. First he had referred to Alex as the Mistress of this place. Now, Christopher of course knew Alex's sexual proclivities... it was hard not to in an environment such as this but he had never heard the head of an asylum referred to as the Mistress of a place. It appears that news of Alex's tastes were spreading. Not that it bothered Christopher particularly... he'd worked with people with all manners of kinks and fetishes in his time but in today's world where people didn't know to simply let their betters get on with things a loose word by a man such as the porter would bring a whole host of investigations and hysterical screaming about ""rights"" and ""exploitation"". In turn that didn't bother Christopher... but it would lead to a slow down in his work... and that he did mind. Not that all the information coming out was correct... at least, as he assumed. The porter had refered to her as ""Mrs Alex."" However odd it was to use the title ""Mrs"" and not then refer to her second name...

Her past sounded worse than his for at least his parents didn't toss him out in the street, although his father did kill his mother and then himself to leave him in the care of his Aunt and Uncle. He was in no position to ponder on who had the worse past however and instead let his hand fall back to his side as he looked at her for a moment. ""I'm sorry to hear that Kayla, I take it is your name then. What you really need is a friend that you can be with, someone you can trust. Although that obviously can't be right now, we shall see over time."" Mark looked Kayla over, wondering why anyone would do such a thing to her before he laughed softly to himself. Why anyone really. Everyone had a motive for doing the things that they did, just like he did when he was able to convince his ""friends"" that their English teacher needed to be taught a lesson and had him kidnapped.<br/><br/>Mark said no more since Kayla was clearly not going to speak to him, if the man was right then it would be a long time before she would speak to any of the staff here as well. That could be entertaining for a short time, watching the doctor's and psychologists trying to get the girl to speak, but he knew that he would need more than that to keep himself entertained before he was taken away from here to the next Asylum, so sure was he that he could confuse the staff when someone else entered the room and introduced himself as Viktor and someone who worked here. Mark put on a smile and looked at the man, sizing him up before he spoke. ""Good morning to you then Mr. Mendez. I'm Mark Kinney, and I look forward to my stay here.""<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>He preferred not being referred to as a doctor, since that made it easier to connect with patients, especially those whom had dealt with many doctors, and developed a tendency to shut down on them. ""Well, I assure you,  this institution is highly regarded around and we will be doing the best we can to ensure you get as much help with whatever issues you might be having. And of course once you've been cured, feel free to leave or stay, your call."" He said, keeping the smile plastered on his lips, keeping the files tucked up under his arm. He began to wonder what kind of patient this man was, he seemed to at least give the pretense that he was a rather well tongued young man. He could also feel Mark's eyes wondering over him, almost like he was using the same approach as Viktor would. Interesting, he thought silently to himself. He enjoyed giving patients hope, which was that much sweeter to watch them lose it when it was all pulled away."

A short while of waiting before the door was parted, and with a smile the young man handed out a small vial to the bartender. A nod of a head later, he found himself allowed inside, and the door shut once more.<br/><br/>Alexander smirked as he looked around silently. The place was an interesting cross between rich and poor, noble and common. He considered himself to be similar in a way, caught between the rich and the poor. He was selling his services for the rich to be able to afford to try and help the poor at times. He was an opportunist, but this time, he had to be an idealist, in a sense.<br/><br/>There was a reason why he followed Asleod. He believed in the fellow. Ever since Asleod warned him about a sting that might have gotten him exposed as a magic-maker, he had owed the thief a service, but also a strange sense of loyalty. Taking a risk to help him, he was more than willing to return that to Asleod. ""Your next client works for Inquisitor"" had been all he had needed. With that warning, Asleod had made himself very dear to the alchemist, who had driven off the person seeking actual magic from him, and perhaps barely avoided a hangman's noose or a cold steel axe at dawn.<br/><br/>""Can I have a little of your fine ale then? I believe you mentioned it back when you asked for that, but I didn't have any ready on short call."" He smiled to the bartender, not asking for its price, not offering to pay for his drink either. One hand washes another, he thought. With that done, he moved to a table, waiting till the bartender handed him a mug soon after.<br/><br/>So there he was, sitting in a tavern sipping on a fairly nice ale, having handed off a bit of Alchemist's Kindness to the bartender to help deal with the hangover the fellow had. Brewing good things, the man had a taste for his own produce, and Alexander did not think of it as a bad thing to supply the man of his own produce in exchange for a sip of the bartender's brew.<br/><br/>Tonight would be interesting. Alexander had barely believed his ears when he heard that there would be a gathering. He had not really expected to be invited anywhere by Asleod, and from what he had understood it would be an event he did not want to miss.<br/><br/>So the young, blonde man sat there, his fine clothing made for an explorer, with a slightly bored expression remaining on his face. He wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, he wasn't looking bad either, but his outfit was one of those weird things. He was not out exploring, he just found the many pockets and the sturdy nature of the clothes useful for himself. He carried a nice scent of fresh herbs and soap around him, an advantage of being someone who worked with such things was that he rarely had to go without some for his personal use.<br/><br/>What he needed now was answers to his questions, though he imagined he would likely learn most of them through observation rather than by questions. Sipping on the ale, he smirked a hint again. The brew was good at least.<br/><br/>""So, what's so important that you want a fellow to close early and show up here?"" Alexander Thornrose gave his most friendly smile to Asleod, but wasn't really thinking he'd get a reply. ""Or should I just wait and see?"""

He was observing the group as it came, his friendly approach toward Samuel was a rarity these days, most people he could only regard with a measure of suspicion. Lebanon's arrival, such as it was, made him wonder if the man had snuck in earlier through a window or such somewhere, or if Asleod had let the fellow in to let him show off a bit. Either way, that surprise had been genuine to him too. He just thought it lucky he hadn't had his hand in the pocket with the bombs when it occured.<br/><br/>""Guess some folks are a bit careful, nothing wrong with that I suppose but its a bit dull shouting for 'hey you there'."" He remarked the exchange between Samuel and the stranger in the dark with a measure of amusement. He could not see Lebanon's face while the man was still in the shadows but his voice didn't sound immediately familiar. Then again, he had bought some things from people who didn't want to be recognised later anyway, so he was sort of used to it.<br/><br/>Then Belinda arrived. His eyes followed the woman a bit curiously, wondering about her appearance at the time. He was suspicious afterall, and something about her looks bothered him, because he had this distinctive feeling he had seen her before. Samuel seemed to get along well with her, and even as far as to call her a lady. He smiled, chuckling a little. Well, that answered a bit though, to not get hurt on these streets, a woman just might to try and look her worst for a little while. Sipping onto his drink he watched the door open once more.<br/><br/>Hooded figure caught his interest and he blinked, watching her movement. He wasn't sure what it was, but something about the figure caught his interest, at least for a short while. That moment was broken by the louder entrance of the next man. Staring over at Fenris a little while the Alchemist blinked. ""Now there's a fellow I wouldn't want visiting me if I was ever late on my bills."" He said this jokingly, but at the same time a bit serious. Fenris looked like a man he didn't want to end up an enemy to.<br/><br/>As Talanna arrived, he was caught up looking, her very appearance drew eyes to her, and seeing an elf was a very rare pleasure. Albeit he tried to keep his gaze up to the elven woman's face after the first look of admiration along her figure. ""I don't know how she made her way through the town looking like that though, I imagine she'd be driving men mad with lust and confusion. So I seriously doubt she came on foot."" He had been too much in thought to really notice any sound of the wagons earlier, shrugging faintly.<br/><br/>""It does look like a large amount of us is present by now though."" He knew he was stating the obvious, but he smiled nonetheless, looking at everyone in turn with a smile along his face. It would be a time for introductions, he thought, before hearing Lebanon's voice rise up.<br/><br/><em>""Ha ha ha!  Oh, what a clever joke, Prince of Thieves,"" he said, gasping for air.  ""I thought this was going to be a job.  Not a business proposition to open a whorehouse.  I don't really see how you could possibly make use of my services for that.  Unless these women have magically-sealed chastity belts, but looking at them, I highly doubt it.""</em><br/><br/>Alexander grit his teeth together and clenched his hands to fists for a moment. Alright, calm down, he told himself silently. The fellow just liked to make a scene no doubt. He tried to reason around his anger briefly, calming down a little. Outwardly, his expression had gotten tense and his hands clenched for a moment, but inside he was annoyed. Annoyed enough that he had to stand up for a moment.<br/><br/>""As beautiful as the company of this evening is, I highly doubt every lady that enters is even interested in such pursuits in life. Now, as for us fine gentlemen, I think that we'd sell poorly as well so I don't think we are together for plans of that variety."" He looked at Asleod briefly again, then sighing.<br/><br/>""Anyhow, its a pleasure to meet with all you fine people, and lets drink to your health."" He smiled, taking a sip of his ale briefly, then sitting down again, trying to cool his head a bit."

He wore shiny black boots and even through hood a long smooth dark blue hair spilled out. Other figure was concealed in long concealing royal red cape with gold lining and deep hood. The figure appeared to be quite wide build person under the cloak. Neither did rush nor run, as either one would had stood out with few who still walked in this rain. The red cloaked figure raises head up little, looking into sky watch the dark moon and also the green moon shine from the sky. She asks; ""What's that green moon master?""<br/><br/>The man raised his golden hued gaze up towards the moon, he had been blessed with unusual appearance thanks highly sorcerous bloodline. Not to mention he had become summoner than sorcerer because how his talents manifested in fateful day years ago. He replies to his companion; ""That green moon is known also Trickster's Moon, as it's elusive to appear and disappear discreetly.

Once he does this, he stops being mere a bystander to future events, he becomes a active partner of future ploys and events. The invitation was clearly a test, that much he can know. The man trusted him with the secret, that much was granted. But it was up to him to decide either accept or decline, as it was one time offer to join to the plans.

We should expect some rough welcome.""<br/><br/>After brief chat the duo walks to the tavern door and knocks the specific series of knocks. Door opens, innkeep watching him and his companion, both finely dressed. After moment of doubt and quiet staring the innkeep opens the door and lets the duo on.<br/><br/><em>Inside the tavern</em><br/><br/>A pair of new figures walk in. Other was clearly a man standing in five and half in height. He was wearing fine rain proof black leather jacket. Closed up front with several straps of leather and mithril buckles. Man's hands were covered in fine leather gloves which covered no fingers. Some keen eyed person could see hint of gold in right hand finger; a nobles insignia ring (perception 20 to spot)! A hint of dark blue hair peeks from cover of deep hood which is part of the jacket. Man had companion which was much harder to read. Person must be quite fat or wide under the cloak, height wise person is six foot tall, wide shouldered at least and wear royal red satin cape with gold lining and wide and deep hood.<br/><br/>(pic of pentagram)<br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://thebeardgospel.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/tifas-sigil1.jpg?w=480&amp;h=360)</div>After short moment standing in front of the group the man pulls his hood back. Reveal a fine delicate handsome face with cream fair pale skin, a gold hued eyes which observed the gathering so far. Man had regal look in him, which comes off naturally from nobleborn humans. What was most unusual was a blue pentagram which glowed in his forehead brightly. Glowing radiant ice cold light.<br/><br/>He says to the group; ""I hope the weather outside does not sour mood inside this gathering, Daniel Fhaulrein, pleased to meet you all.""<br/><br/>Instant after Daniel's introduction the figure behind him makes a sound, instantly declare figure is a woman by saying; ""Argh, cant stand that damn weather! Makes this damn cape weight like ton!"" At first something black and silky slips from covers of the cape, something pointy. Then sharp tips of silky blackness start spread the cape wide and throw it off far back onto floor behind her.....and reveal a six foot tall fiendish gorgeous beauty! She was six foot tall, slim build pale skinned woman with black leather corset and stockings. She had black bat wings which spread behind her in widely, when she is stretching them the wing span is at least eight feet wide. She stretches her arms forward, both hands form into vicious looking black claws and her long slender black leathery tail swings about, with barbed tipped stinger shaped blade at end of the tail. She had pair of black horns pointing forward in her head. She had long black beautiful curly mane of hair, radiant lively ruby iris eyes with crimson painted lips. Like Daniel her forehead also had blue glowing pentagram, identical in design. She yawns while stretching out with delighted purr which fits more to a cat than a human, smiling she reveals sharp corner fangs, much like a vampire she speaks; ""Greetings, I am Rilyth, servant of master Daniel.""<br/><br/>(OOC: With K:Nobility DC 10 you would know Fhaulrein is one top five noble houses in the city. DC 15 result reveals Daniel Fhaulrein is heir of said house, DC 20 would reveal he is known for 'slum tripping' like his father has been doing in his youth. Through slum tripping he met Daniel's mother which he married. With DC 15 you would also know Daniel is a summoner.)"

""I guess we are not all here though, seeing how our mutual friend has remained a touch quiet for now. Ahh, perhaps I should have brought a bit more hangover cures along if we have a while to wait for the others."" He commented this half-jokingly, looking around, turning his eyes to Samuel. ""Speaking of which, do you think you could arrange me to get some fresh ingredients sometime soon. I was thinking of putting a bit of time to creating a bit more of that makeup that sells fairly well to some women. I think I got the herbs for some more alchemist's kindness and birth shields, as well as flash powder and such, but my stocks are dwindling little by little. A mere thought for later, we can talk it through at a later time of course."" He smiled at Samuel, being careful to not mention anything more 'illegal' though, among people he did not know well enough yet.<br/><br/>Then he paused on hearing the arrival of Daniel, pausing and having his eyes widen at the sight of the man and his 'pet'. The alchemist silently reached into his pocket and lifted out one of the blackened eggs, speaking up. ""Asleod, I sure hope you invited him yourself. It would be a pity to make a mess here."" He spoke warily, he hadn't expected an actual nobleman to show up.<br/><br/>The egg in his hand did not hold any particular smell, beyond a faint odor of something mildly dusty.<br/><br/>(OOC: For those in the 'Know', figuring at least Samuel but whoever has run into the rumors about the alchemist and his 'traps' for shoplifters, the particular smell is something rather equilevant to gunpowder but more volatile.

Playing with the hair gently and smelling it with her cute nose while looking Alexander with her eyes and said; ""But I hope you do not mind me taking small memento from you to hold onto? So I get no tempted with silly thoughts hmmm?"" It sounded both as request and as a threat from her lips while she walked away from Alexander towards back Daniel.<br/><br/>Daniel had groaned for whole display and he said to Rilyth when she came close to him; ""You could had toned that down quite lot you know? What is with you and your trophies anyway?"" Rilyth shrugged and stared flock of hair which she is agilely working with her claws to tie up with strand of hair into tiny blond bundle and replied; ""You forget so easily all interesting people you meet when your immortal you know. I started forget after hundred and bothered not count after thousand. I do not like numbers, their quite bit....static, uninteresting to keep count on number of people what I meet and have fun with."""

Alexander raised his hand to where the bit of his long hair was cut, frowning. He looked at the cut strand and sighed. ""Damnable."" Standing up, he walked to the bartender, speaking in a whisper.<em>""Can I have another mug of that fine ale then? Thanks.""</em>He nod his head, waiting till he had what he had ordered, moving back over to the table silently again. As he sat down, he slipped a hand to his pocket, pulling out a red vial.<br/><br/>Uncorking it, he cast a look around, throwing his head back gulping the contents of the vial and grimacing. Within seconds, the cut strand of hair seemed to come to life, lengthening back to the same length as the rest of his long hair, but now loose. The red liquid was gone, but the Alchemist capped the vial sliding it back to his pocket.<br/><br/>""My apologies, I merely dislike.. hmm, well leaving something feeling unbalanced."" He touched the bit of hair regrown. The potion he had quaffed had 'healed' him, effectively restoring him towards the state he had been before that slice, and enhancing his body's own recovery pace. Losing a bit of hair was usually not a big deal, but he happened to be a man that cared about his hair, and his looks. He had to deal with nobles at times, so he prefered to keep his looks.<br/><br/>""I still haven't figured out how to make these taste good though. Bleah."" He shook his head and looked at Samuel. The man probably knew just what all went into the potions, or could make an educated guess at least, based on the ingredients. The cost of those little extracts was laughable, so Alexander didn't worry. Thing was, they only worked for him anyway. At least till he'd get over the little problem of making those things last when handed over to someone else. He wasn't even sure if he would want to, though.<br/><br/>Lifting the mug of ale then, the alchemist took a long sip of its contents, sighing heavily visibly relaxing there then. Smiling warmly, his tenseness seeming to be gone. Friendly smile on his face, the glass vial away from sight, slipped back to one of the many pockets already.<br/><br/>""I'm fairly sure we're part of the entertainment here, Sam, but perhaps at the same time we take the time to be the audience for others too? Well, as long as nobody gets a bloody nose, I think we are doing fairly well.

Smiling to her in a polite fashion. ""Hello then, glad to see you."" He said this half-jokingly, hoping to welcome her from the safety of her hood to join in on the chat.<br/><br/>That said, he looked at Belle, Samuel, and lastly at Daniel and Rilyth. Seeing that Daniel had come up close, he blinked and listened to the words spoken, then nodding his head in a polite fashion. ""Its alright, she didn't cut off anything that would be<em>painful</em>to me and that already says a lot about her control."" He smiled in a calm fashion, trying to wave the bit of 'faux pas' off without anger. What was done was done.<br/><br/>""Though it did make me waste a little bit of my brew to regrow it, but no real harm done, so I think all is good. Besides, you nobles move in your own social circles, and usually only show up when you need something. So I doubt I'll be seeing you and her too much after tonight. Probably."" He shrugged a bit and smiled. ""So no reason for me to bear a grudge either.""<br/><br/>The word from Fenris were on his mind still though and he turned to look at the ranger, and then at Daniel.<br/><br/>""Still, if you would be so kind don't send her over to me on a bad mood, I like myself without too many missing parts and without scratches all over. She looks like she could certainly do a good job guarding you against troublemakers afterall, and I have no intent to become a training doll for that.""

Seeing and hearing his words she smiled, showing her fangs silently while staring the ranger with her ruby eyes. Perhaps return challengingly perhaps.<br/><br/>Daniel noticed arrival of Sophia, wondering about her while but it seems like instant she arrived Asleod started his briefing and talk about big plan of his. He listened all way to the end and listening others comments about it. Daniel smiles and says; ""Well, I would not be here if we would not driving towards better tomorrow in this country. So I am in for this in name of revolution and change the country but there you need take couple of things to account in your plan Asleod...."" Daniel raises first finger in his hand and speaks; ""Firstly all soldiers, generals and lieutenants are not driven by the gold. Some are actually enjoying the privilege to serving the nobles and feel free terrorize the cityfolk because they are working for the nobles. There are bad people both among nobles, military and even among commoners. Do not forget that.""<br/><br/>Daniel raises second finger and adds; ""Even if people would be driven by speeches, more gold and better tomorrow. Do not forget majority of the nobles know arcane magic. One fireball can kill ten or more soldiers. A sorcerer is able throw from three to six said fireballs. Even more if he has wand which allows fire lots fireballs per day. The pure terror of magic what nobles are able to perform in their worst pales in tales what you have heard. Of course all nobles are not that dangerous but the few which are.....could be considered your most dangerous enemy which you need take out before you ever even consider build up own army oppose nobles own forces. Not to mention besides destruction they can use magic to charm people stay with them and make them adore nobles as gods.""<br/><br/>Daniel raises third finger and adds; ""Continue the terror theme with nobles they may keep military in line with simple thing; hostages. If they suspect the military or commoners start act up, they will no doubt target the precious commoners wives, children and relatives first opportunity. Nothing kills rebellion faster than choose between ideals and person whom you love or care about. Nobles know this fact and they have used it in past.""<br/><br/>Daniel raises fourth finger and adds; ""When you steal gold and treasure.....where it goes? You buy military? Weapons? Arms? Material? Anywhere you spend said coin in this country end up back to nobles pockets through taxation or as I like call it; legal robbery. What stops nobles from just retaking what you stole and spend among non-nobles who then spend on stuff in country which leads gold back to nobles who no doubt tighten up taxation if they are robbed. As they expect you eventually spend the gold.""<br/><br/>Daniel raises final fifth finger and adds; ""Also I am not only summoner in this country. I mentioned before the terror of magic of nobles, so if you think overcome them with just military force then they are able conjure forces which ask no payment at all. Not to mention even if you kill said forces the nobles can rapidly replenish them sooner than you can. Also in worse case scenario nobles could just use their house related gates or teleport spells to escape angry commoner mobs and return later to undermine our work after generation or two later with vengeance. Perhaps even using exact same methods as you do now Asleod."" Daniel closes up all his fiver fingers and places hand back down to his side and asks; ""So what sort answer you have those five matters? Hitting economy is good idea but nobles have five ways to counter it if needed. There is reason why nobles hunt so mercilessly all non-noble or non-loyal arcanists or anyone who shows magic.....as so long nobles have access to magic they can use magic to try counter things what you do to them."""

His presence made her bite at her lower lip, near girlishly in fact. It was no longer a common sight to see from the young noble, and she made a point to wipe the look from her face quickly. She was pondering on the plan when Daniel, a fellow member of the aristocracy, spoke up with some of the things she had just been thinking. She agreed with the fact that they needed to be brought up, but what he was saying was in part just the fear that the ruling council had instilled in the common folk. Much of it had some lacking in merit.<br/><br/><strong>""Ahem, may I interject for a moment Daniel.""</strong>Sophia asked in a somewhat languid tone.<strong>""You have many points, but you are failing to take into effect is that unrest of this magnitude would bring all the noble's petty grudges against one another.

Alex felt that he was being too loud already, but something about Daniel's points made him want to answer, although he did not know entirely what Asleod would say, but there were a few things on his mind at least.<br/><br/>""First of, and this is just my opinion, even if you have some sadists in the army and the guard, there are a lot more people who are working for the coin. If they aren't paid, they may work out of loyalty or fear a little longer, but if they dont get paid, the army and the guard get severely weakened, leaving the nobility vulnerable to continued attacks and thefts."" He tapped his cheek at this thought.<br/><br/>""Second, we're not talking of a sudden rise of an army at the doorstep. If they cant pay, they can try and terrorise people but they are also dependant on those who serve them, but they too need to eat, need to sleep. They will want to avoid making a mess in their own backyard, and at least keep paying those they have hired. Magical enchantments can ensure loyalty for a while, but not indefinitely, and once they get onto that road, the people will remember, and eventually that treatment leaks out. Sooner if its helped out a little."" He shrugged. ""They dont have a clear target to attack. They are losing money, they are sure to put a stranglehold on crime where they can find it, but that means they have to come after us, and if they aren't paying their soldiers anymore, chances are a bribe may help us more than before, and a guard might just give up if they dont find anything, because they aren't getting paid already and yet still keep being bossed around by angry masters.""<br/><br/>He then paused to look at the crowd, continuing. ""Third, this terror would incite people to rebel, and more aggravated. They can kill on a whim? Fine, they will leave a whole courtyard full of corpses, but if their house is burning, and an angry mob is torching the place, nobody is selling them food but sieging them, they are not going to be having a very good time. Even with magic items, that takes a toll on the lifestyle that they are used to, correct me if I'm wrong here but I think the nobility would hate seeing themselves chased into a hole like that.""<br/><br/>He began to look a bit tired at this point, but kept going, trying to answer with wha the thought on the matter. ""Fourth, yes gold has to be spent, but to collect it they need guards, and tax collectors. Disturb the order enough, and they dont have the forces to protect those tax-collectors anymore. After that, its just two or three ambushes before the nobility realize they're being robbed -again- before they can even sneeze. Besides, I know at least a district's worth of people who wouldn't mind beating up their personal tax-collector if someone happened to oh say snatch a purse nearby misleading the guards away from the tax-collector for a while?"" He smiled in a way that he thought was intimidating. Well, this man had no real training in that. He could bluff, he could chat diplomatically, but his 'intimidating' look was more funny, his supposedly 'evil smirk' looked more of a guy who had been drinking too much and was barely awake. Perhaps ruining a bit of the seriousness of his words. Shaking his head a bit and relaxing his expression back to the normal polite smile he then chuckled.<br/><br/>""Well, lastly, the magic that would let them come and go, and return for vengeance later? No magic is omnipotent. They may count their losses, and think of what they have lost. They may desire to come back for a second round. They might even win. The people have seen what they can do though, and I think that it would not take much for the people to decide to just cut those throats the next chance they got. Who is to say they return to a city ready for them to conquer again either? There are ways to fight against magic, and there are people with magic hiding from the nobility now. Give us a few months, and a few good teachers, and we have a few apprentices already, good at crafting little things that balance the odds, and trained fellows that can put those to good use. For all their hoarding of magic, the nobility has put their faith in it, but sometimes their weapons can be turned against them."" He added a short pause and then shook his head. ""Sometimes a sharp, long knife is more final than any spell, too.""<br/><br/>He sighed heavily. ""Its good to be concerned and think of the possibilities, but we have to accept that there are risks involved, yet there are possibilities, opportunities, and ways to counter actions that might arise in response to what we set out to do...""<br/><br/>Alexander grimaced, holding his throat and coughing a couple of times with his hand before his mouth, rubbing the throat with the other hand. ""Damnit."" He had spoken too much. He had stopped drinking and started giving a small 'speech' of his own ,and now his throat felt dry. ""Uhm. A second."" He waved for the bartender to bring a bit more ale, an apologetic smile on his face."

He nods and replies; ""True, most threats are mostly tales but there has been truth to them and nobles in each generation there are those who train to become terrors what tales speak off. I myself think there is only perhaps one mage, summoner or sorcerer among ten top lords who could be able do feats of terror I described. Also true even crooks who serve the nobles for privileged may be persuaded to turn backs easier once they get no gold from nobles to do their jobs. Also the events may cause nobles start take advantage from each others missfortunes. Nobles had always fought regarding rank of their house and so if one house fells poor, it leads other houses exploit it and do disservice to them.<br/><br/>But question is; how long we can keep activities secret, keep enemy faceless and prevent nobles group up together once they realize there is subtle rebellion going on in the kingdom? If we fail on that it makes nobles team up and crush us. Alone one house is not threat, not two, but if even six of them groups together they can more better manage, guard and protect their resources and interests. But if we play the economic game we can make house or two actually surrender and join the cause, just to preserve their status but it all depends how much hatred you hold on nobles....would you offer mercy if noble house would surrender? If not, it would likely make rest noble houses fight like cornered rats, knowing surrender is not option.<br/><br/>I do not know much of the higher functions or secrets of the noble houses, as I myself had kept healthy distance to them. But what I understand from my father the nobles, especially the ten lords, are especially wicked lot. I would not surprised in end if they know they are loosing.....they are ready out of sake of pride destroy whole country along with them. Just to prevent no one able claim the prize. So for sake avoid such disaster we need leave purpose a nobles chance to escape or able surrender when things start fall around them. Altough many of nobles would not deserve said mercy."" Daniel takes sip from his wine, he's used to long speeches and debates through numerous parties where nobles talk a lot. He looks to Sophia and he nods and replies; ""Aye, chaos. That worries me as chaos often can result firing our own legs in said process so we need push the chaos before hand well in direction we want than just drop bomb in middle and hope for best results."""

if it were, rioting would be more commonplace.  So far, the lower class have been laying down and taking it.  If that doesn't change, then we'd be walking away rich beyond reason, but ultimately nothing would change.""<br/><br/>""Even if we did gain control of their armies, it would be foolish to march them against the city.  That'd make us an invading force.  The enemy.  Once that's been established, the nobility would have no problem rallying the people to their side, reinforcing their position as rulers for the people.  If that happens, then we could never win.  Even if we killed them to the last man, the public will view them as heroes who died doing all they could to save the city and its people.  It'd be impossible to have a stable government for the next several years and the city will be thrown into chaos.  I'm one for a bit of anarchy, but it'll be the innocent bystanders who will suffer in the end.""<br/><br/>""What I'm saying is that if we're going to go through with this, we better make damn sure that we end up with the people on our side.  Genuinely and without question.  No fabrication of information or lying to them.  Gaining their support that way would make us no better than those we wish to overthrow.  We shouldn't only go after their riches, we need to also target evidence of their corruption so that we can bring it into the light.  It's the only way we'd stand a chance of pulling this off."""

towards their actual purpose.  Setting his mug of wine down slowly, he gathered himself up from the chair and turned around to face the people in turn.<br/><br/>""You've raised several excellent points, which is one of the reasons I've gathered you folks in particular.  I have the framework of a plan, and several ideas on how to go about implementing it, but each of you have different areas of expertise, and I expect you to make use of it in helping me refine the plan as we get things rolling.""<br/><br/>He picked up his now-empty mug from the table, using to emphasize his words as he gestured.<br/><br/>""On the subject of the magic might of the nobility, I've been investigating it for some time now, and have drawn several conclusions.  First off, I'm certain that the current nobility only has a few individuals of enough personal power to constitute a true threat in a large-scale battle should it come to that.  Certainly, outside of the Council of Lords, there are only one or two who might qualify.  However, I'm hoping it won't come to that.  As several of you pointed out, a large-scale military action would in all likelihood be quite ruinous to the prosperity and survival of the common people.  As such, I'm hoping that by the time we move out into the open in force, we'll have a situation where the Council of Lords stands relatively alone.  Even they cannot hope to prevail against such numbers, and will be forced to surrender.""<br/><br/>At this point, he paused for a while, letting his words sink in.  He didn't intend to drag this meeting on for that much longer after they got their first objectives hammered out and clarified.  After all, any large-scale action in the city would only be feasible come spring.  Autumn was nearly over, the land sliding towards the chill of winter, which would slow down outdoor activities considerably.   It also gave them time to lay out plans, weaken the foundations of the noble houses and in general cause havoc and sway the general population.  The nobility generally spent the winter in various social functions, one after another, and as such they had plenty of opportunities to turn the houses against each other, as well as start hitting some choice targets with their robber teams.  He continued into the momentary silence his earlier comments had created.<br/><br/>""I'm not overly worried about the armies, or about having their families used as hostages.  As pointed out, something like that would only make a general uprising a near certainty.  Only the high command of the armies is in any way personally loyal to the Council, so we may have to see to it that they are removed before we make our move.  I'm considerably more worried about the Inquisitors.  There aren't that many of them in comparison, but they operate in complete loyalty to the Council of Lords, and are individually considered some of the most dangerous soldiers alive.  What's more, they almost always operate in teams of four.  By my estimation, there are less than ten of said teams in the city.  Several more roam the countryside, but those aren't an imminent threat.  We may have to think of something to do about the Inquisitors.""<br/><br/>Asleod let the silence give weight to his words for a few moments, before pressing on.<br/><br/>""Let's summarize several of the important points to which we have to attend in the coming times.<br/>Firstly, we need to identify valuable targets among noble holdings to burglarize, thus providing ourselves with working capital while at the same time denying it to them.  We should make it a priority to get into at least a few of the major House's treasuries as soon as possible.  I also recommend we liberate any significant piece of magical equipment we come across, as it's an extremely valuable resource to them.""<br/><br/>He walked over to a smooth patch of the wall near the bar counter, picked up a stick of charcoal set aside for just that purpose, and began writing his musing on the wall in bold, easily visible type, underlining words where appropriate.<br/><br/>""Secondly, we need to find out everything about the Council of Lords and other high nobles, particularly when it comes to their magical talents.  While fishing for this, we should also take the opportunity to see if we can get some the Houses to turn their attention away from us to their political enemies.""<br/><br/>Asleod wrote things down in shortened format, so that everyone could instantly see their immediate objectives.<br/><br/>""Third, we need to begin gathering goodwill among the common people of the city, as well as bringing the many atrocities of the nobility into their attention and rousing their fighting spirit.  I've heard several excellent ideas regarding that already.""<br/><br/>After writing down the basics of the third part, he set the stick of charcoal down and stepped aside so everyone would have a clear view.<br/><br/>""I think that covers the very basics of what we need done, and everyone can contribute to planning and working on those points in several ways.  We've a long winter ahead of us, during which the activity of armies and troops always goes practically into hibernation, leaving us a clear field to work on our objectives.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

He waited, observed, watching the others and sighing slightly, nodding his head to Talanna again once Rilyth had drawn away Lebanon's attention for the moment, and then Belinda had stepped in as well. He observed the three of them briefly, then taking a deep breath and sighing out, loudly.<br/><br/>""I have my reasons to be part of this. I intend to remain. I will fight if I have to, but that is not my purpose. I am merely saying that if such a time comes, I will be ready."" He looked at Lebanon seriously. ""I know this will be bloody. That this will be ugly. I consider myself a kind man, but I also consider myself a man of conviction. I have commited myself to this path, and I will follow it.""<br/><br/>Smiling, he shrugged a bit afterwards and chuckled, seeming to shrug the anger away and find something amusing about this situation. ""I was brought along originally though because I am a guy that can move some items from the wealthy along to right clients and turn fancy artwork, jewels and the like into actual coinage that can help fund whatever efforts are chosen."" He shrugged faintly. ""Or to cover someone's bartab if they prefer."" He made this last remark half-joking.<br/><br/>""I am a merchant, and I am one of those who has a bit of power that could mean I would be killed just to be safe if caught with it. I dont want to live in fear for the rest of my life. I will face those fears alongside you, helping you where I can. If its best done selling goods further and making sure to have the money, so be it. If its to serve as a contact between the ones among nobility and the ones among the streets, I will do so. If it comes to a point that people believe my presence, and the bombs I carry, would be of use, I will be there to help with them.""<br/><br/>He narrowed his eyes. ""Now, a good reason I am not a spy among nobles is my temper, pushed too far, questioned and annoyed, I know I can let my mind run faster than my common sense, and sometimes I am tempted to enjoy what I have created."" He shrugged a hint. ""I got rid of most of my anger in a puff of smoke there, it has a rather healing effect to break something on occasion."" The young man chuckled, his golden hair coming a bit loose, a strand of hair hanging in front of his left eye as he looked from person to person.<br/><br/>""Don't worry, I do know to not use them as commonly in general, but if you think I'm a mere humble apothecary without any power, I'd like to remind you that nobody has stolen from my store in a good while. Not since the rumor started that I stack a few decoy-bombs into my shelves as well at times, so any would-be-shoplifter has a good chance to earn a nickname like 'stumpy'."" He shrugged. ""Exaggeration and misleading whisper, but surprisingly effective. Especially when there -has- been word that I have created things for bards, such as flash powder. Some people seem to think that a bomb only needs a good deal of that and something as nasty as lamp oil."" He shrugged a bit, then pausing. ""Though that might create a rather interesting effect, but the explosive force would be too weak to.."" He blinked again, pausing. ""Ahem, I'm getting lost on my topic again, and second, I should have already stopped these rants."" He sighed. ""Anyhow, I wont throw more bombs and I wont try and go out with you to your jobs, but I will be there to help with what I can, and that depends on what will be necessary at the times ahead.""<br/><br/>That said, he moved to take a seat nearby, sighing heavily but then nodding his head at Talanna, Rilyth and Belle. He looked at Samuel at the man's encouraging words, bowing his head gratefully. ""Thank you, all of you."" He smiled a bit, but sat down then. ""I'll try and hold my tongue, we are badly sidetracked once again. We should finish our immediate plans, afterall, and then see what the night brings."" That said, he remained quiet there on, at least for now, trying to hold his tongue unless addressed directly."

Same with nobles, you must accept your killing men and women who are no different from commoners. They just born and raised differently, also sometimes as plus born with something what commoners could get but aren't allowed to possess."" Rilyth makes glance to Daniel who coughs after Alexander's speech and says; ""Indeed we should stop pickering about each others views and focus immediate plans. I think first most task is to gather information, and second is preparation which some of us who do not make any information gathering can do. Alexander can prepare bombs or alchemical substances suited for varied purposes or for thievery. I am sure usage of alchemist acids will become useful to melt down locks. But what's more useful is that if you can prepare oils which magically repair physical damage done to objects. Nothing leaves more confused state to nobles to see their treasuries stolen with no trace of a burglary, it makes nobles question their own trusted staff definitely when done so. Slaves nor lesser servants and members are trusted the keys for treasury naturally. So only few would able get the key and would become prime subjects.<br/><br/>In noble side I think Sophia and I focus gather much as possible about gatherings in this winter and make it announced we both want socialize a lot also. I myself had avoided those gatherings for my own moral reasons but I can stomach the greasy noble politics if I have clear purpose there to help push this change forward. While in parties I and Sophia will gather information about rich targets or items of magical power. I can do simple detect magic cantrip but it would be suspicious openly to do so and study the crowd so I would need sneak somewhere do it more privately the scanning on the noble crowd.<br/><br/>Talanna not sure how employ, Asleod likely knows better than I how use her but I and Sophia can give tips in future which person attach her in.

Though such things would not<em>last</em>the way that regular potions did. He figured those extracts would be useful for about a day or two, but if he handed them out for missions and asked back those that were left unspent, he thought it might be possible to supply the group with a little healing that would not cost them. Extracts were notoriously cheaper to make, it was just that for now he only seemed to get them to react right with his own body. Must have been the tolerance he had built."

Two hours of intense work, and twenty five gold pieces worth of materials later he held in his hand something that could help his allies, hopefully.<br/><br/>Magical<em>Potion of Cure Light Wounds</em>. Possessing one was a crime. Creating one was even worse. Handing one out to another was surely a crime he would not live after if caught. He did feel that he was able to trust in Samuel though.<br/><br/>That thought in mind, and a stomach growling for food, he packed up his things again and headed forth to the safehouse, going through a few alleys to reach there eventually. Bombs along in case of any trouble, but most little petty thugs didn't seem to think the man was worth risking a life for, he usually carried only nasty surprises with him, afterall.<br/><br/>Alexander walked into the safehouse silently, making his way over to look around, hoping to find Samuel or to see him sometime soon.

The rent was due in time as well, and he couldn't help but wonder if he'd one day make enough to buy the place to himself, and make some improvements he had been hoping to do for a good while already. The place wasn't too small for him, but it was certainly not the fancy quality he would have wanted from the place. Enough money, and perhaps he could pull it off.

There wasn't much money in his store at the time. He had been working hard on creating some items for sale, and he would have to ask for a client to pay him half-front and half on delivery for anything he would be brewing on order later. Then again, he only needed a couple of sales, especially with the more costly items, to have enough to order some ingredients again. Samuel had been a good source for those, and the fellow was likeable, so Alexander was glad to do business.<br/><br/>Right now, having made the magical potion, he had commited a rather large share of his own fortune to the task. He was practically poor already, only having a few coins in his pocket. Most of his wealth lay in his stock, which wasn't exactly bad but it did leave him vulnerable for any sudden changes. He disliked things being that way, but at the same time he knew that financial risks were little compared to the risks the others were taking.<br/><br/>His job was to make sure they could turn the loot into coins, and for that reason he was waiting to see if he could get any of his contacts to visit, if he saw nobody around before the afternoon came about, he would have to close the store temporarily and head on out. Perhaps one day he'd hire someone to watch the store for him, but at this time he had no intent to even try, even if he did have the wealth. Too risky, especially with this plan in motion.<br/><br/>""Hmmh.""

Contacting those people, he thought it a good gesture to put a useful concotion before a fellow with an apparent headache over too much booze earlier. It was still a little more inventory spent without earning more coin to continue his business with. He would have to make some sales soon.<br/><br/>Tapping his chin thoughtfully, he looked around and moved to make certain the sign was turned over to read 'open' to the streets again. That done, he stepped to the alchemist's laboratory in the back of the store, trusting the little bell to ring should anyone enter the store. He turned the pages in his book, seeing what he had put to note about some ingredients.<br/><br/>Alexander didn't really like the idea of using poison, but it was a good idea in a sense. It would let them dispose of some troublesome obstacles eventually. He would prepare some for Daniel, and hope the noble didn't end up poisoning himself instead of the intended victim.

34738,Starfall,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=93796.0,"03-01-2011, 20:54:29",ff,"Name:  Aria  (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs47/i/2009/219/f/c/Nelisande_by_acidlullaby.jpg)<br/>Class: Rogue / Swashbuckler<br/>Bio: Daughter to retired adventurers who'd more or less bought their way into polite Luskan society using the treasures, skills, and reputations gleaned from their exploits, Aria grew to found herself nudged towards high learning. Her parents, it seems, hoped for a safer life for their daughter, and to their dismay her favorite subject seemed to be her fencing practice nonetheless. At least, unlike most of her friends' parents, her own seemed amenable to the idea of a daughter learning such things at all, perhaps because their careers had shown them what a dangerous place the world could be.<br/><br/>These teenage tensions boiled over into Aria learning how to sneak out and about at night, and she got herself into tatters of trouble, and eventually one scrap she'd not have survived from herself. Rescued from petty thugs of a Luskan pirate lord by a priestess of the Red Knight, Aria ventured out to visit her savior's temple on subsequent nights. She never lost her disobedient urge, but perhaps channeled it with more purpose.<br/><br/>She found companionship and learning of the sorts she'd longed for, which proved a bulwark against a dark part of her own nature: she discovered through the aggravating throes of puberty, and leafing about in her family heraldry, that one of her great-grandmothers just might've been an erinyes devil. This shared revelation renewed her priestess benefactor's attentions and concerns. So far, Aria has maintained a far loftier heart than her infamous ancestor's. The blood may've even contributed a disciplined and logical bent of mind which serves well one who would revere the Lady of Strategy.<br/><br/>Physical description: 5'4"", 110 lbs, red hair, hazel eyes, 22' waist, 34C bust.<br/><br/>With hair to her shoulderblades (often braided), Aria's fire-colored orange-red hair and bright hazel mights are hallmarks of the viking heritage of her ancestors (for Icewind Dale is just north of her home city of Luskan). Aria's fine-featured, aristocratic face is given to expressions of analytical thoughtfulness, scrutiny, or bold assertive desire.<br/><br/>She has the nimble and lithe body of a trained acrobat, able to assume many positions and maneuvers with confident poise. This same training, and natural genetics, confer a firmness  across almost all her body; her skin seems soft and supple at first, but just underneath, is quite firm.<br/><br/>Her hips are fairly narrow, perhaps not quite and curvaceous as full as she might ideally like, but her high round and ample bosom perhaps makes up for it, although she often keeps that bound securely with a cloth band under her outfit, for practical movement purposes when running, tumbling, or fighting. Her skin is an ivory-peach color, and can grow quite warm when she is in adrenal or emotional states, and assume the faintest of spicy cinnamon aromas.<br/><br/>As far as Aria knows, the only externally visible heirloom of her erinyes great-grandmother is a prehensile tail, hairless but with a much firmer texture even than the well-toned buttocks she usually keeps it hidden amidst under panties and hosiery. The tail's tip has a telltale-devilish spade-shape, which is even firmer still, yet which Aria can curl and twist inward with about the same dexterity as her own tongue. Aria usually keeps her tail hidden and unmentioned as much as possible, mindful of the potential for ostracization. She thinks her teeth might be slightly sharper and harder than average human, but not so much so that it's clearly inhuman (and she's always had good dentistry, possibly with this to thank it for).<br/><br/>Aria, lesser tiefling, rogue 9 swashbuckler 19<br/>Medium Humanoid (planetouched)<br/>Hit Dice: 9d6+19d10+196 (334 hp; 242 w/o amulet)<br/>Initiative: +23 (14 dex, 2 competence, 5 insight, 2 untyped)<br/>Speed: 30 ft., flying 60 ft.

Acrobatic Backstab [Movement] You dart past your opponent’s attacks, ending up perfectly positioned for a devastating counterattack. Prerequisite: Tumble 12 ranks. Benefit: If you succeed on a Tumble check to move through an enemy’s space, you can treat that enemy as flat-footed against the next melee attack you make against it on your current turn. Your enemy must be standing on the ground or floor in order for you to use this trick.<br/><br/>2. Back on Your Feet [Movement] You can hop back to your feet instantly if you fall. Prerequisite: Tumble 12 ranks. Benefit: If you fall prone for any reason, you can stand up as an immediate action without provoking attacks of opportunity.<br/><br/>3. Easy Escape [Manipulation]<br/>You can slip free from the grasp of a larger enemy with ease.<br/>Prerequisite: Medium or smaller size, Escape Artist 8 ranks.<br/>Benefit: If your opponent is larger than Medium, you gain a circumstance bonus on your Escape Artist check to escape a grapple or pin. The size of the bonus depends on your opponent’s size, according to the following table. Large +4 Huge +8 Gargantuan +12 Colossal +16<br/><br/>4. Escape Attack [Movement]<br/>You can follow a successful escape with a swift attack.<br/>Prerequisite: Escape Artist 8 ranks.<br/>Benefit: When you escape a grapple, you can make a single melee attack with a light weapon as a swift action against the opponent that was grappling you. The opponent is considered flat-footed against this attack. You must have the weapon in hand at the beginning of your turn in order to use this trick.<br/><br/>5. Extreme Leap [Movement]<br/>Your extraordinary leaping ability carries you over great distances.<br/>Prerequisite: Jump 5 ranks.<br/>Benefit: If you make a horizontal jump of at least 10 feet during your turn, you can spend a swift action to move an additional 10 feet on that turn.<br/><br/>6. Nimble Charge [Movement] You can run across treacherous surfaces with ease. Prerequisite: Balance 5 ranks. Benefit: You can run or charge across a difficult surface without needing to make a Balance check (PH 67).<br/><br/>7. Quick Escape [Manipulation] In the blink of an eye, you can escape nearly any tight spot. Prerequisite: Escape Artist 12 ranks. Benefit: This trick has two options, either of which can be used once per encounter. You can make an Escape Artist check to escape from a grapple or pin as a swift action. You can use this trick even if you have already used a standard action on your current turn to attempt the same escape. Alternatively, you can make any Escape Artist check that would normally require a full-round action as a move action. You can’t use this option more than once per day against the same kind of restraint.<br/><br/>8. Slipping Past [Movement] You can slip through a tight space without breaking stride. Prerequisite: Escape Artist 5 ranks, Tumble 5 ranks. Benefit: As a swift action, you can ignore the additional movement movement cost and penalty on attack rolls and to AC when squeezing through a narrow space (PH 148). The benefit lasts until the start of your next turn.<br/><br/>9. Tumbling Crawl [Movement] You can safely roll away from danger. Prerequisite: Tumble 5 ranks. Benefit: By succeeding on a DC 15 Tumble check, you can crawl 5 feet as a move action without provoking attacks of opportunity. Crawling normally provokes attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point during your crawl (PH 142).<br/><br/>10. Twisted Charge [Movement] You can charge in a crooked line. Prerequisite: Balance 5 ranks, Tumble 5 ranks. Benefit: When you charge, you can make one turn of up to 90 degrees during your movement. You can’t move more than your speed as part of this charge. All other restrictions on charges still apply, and you must have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn.<br/><br/>11. Up the Hill [Movement] You can move quickly up a slope. Prerequisite: Balance 5 ranks, Jump 5 ranks. Benefit: You can move up a steep slope or stairs at your normal speed instead of at half speed.

If willing, rendezvous Rapture Quarter, Den of Divine Diamonds, Scarletlight Way near intersection Fourpetals Way. Look for red lanterns.</em></div><br/><em>'Oh, is that so?'</em>Kass thought, glancing up at the sky above, as if looking for the source of the message even though she knew better.<br/><br/>Kassina Sandrose, Kass to her friends, lovers, and friends-with-benefits, let loose a soft sight, before glancing down her body to the woman kneeling before her, face pressed firmly against her loins, hand holding her skirt up and away from her sex.  An elven woman... not a bad trick to flip if Kass said so herself, and she didn't have a half-bad technique.  But, as it were, the woman had gotten her off already, so that second orgasm was significantly less important than the message she'd received.  Odd how she didn't recognize the sender... and that thought only helped to stroke her ego as she figured she must be making a name for herself, the Heartwarder prodigy that she was.  Clenching and pulling at the hair of the woman beneath her, eliciting a short, sharp hiss as the elf closed her eyes in pleasure from the pain, she brought her to gaze into her brown eyes, so full of kindness and aggression all in one go at the moment as a smirk was plastered across her desert-skinned face.<br/><br/>""You have been a good little slut for me, but I've got work to do now."" Kass said, still gripping her hair painfully even as her other hand went up to gently stroke her cheek, making the woman shiver at the touch ""Enjoy your gold dear; you've earned it, and have done your goddess proud.""<br/><br/>After the woman gave her an elated smile, she shoved the woman away, to the ground, where the naked elf lay for a time, resting with quite the smile on her face.  Kass simply fixed her clothing and walked off, not even bothering to clean off the saliva and cum that coated her inner thighs.  Out she stepped from the alley, her red and gold-trimmed and embroidered outfit shining sharply against her golden brown skin and lovely brown hair, wavy and perfect without any effort and all it seemed.  Her clothing was that of brilliant red and gold-embroidered and trimmed dancer's garb, a special outfit for Sunite dancers (http://www.canadianalodging.com/uploads/bellydancer.jpg), which she had been for quite some time.  Her top seemed to barely contain her massive endowments, the skirt about her waist showed off her lovely, round and firmly toned ass, the slits up the sides of her skirt showing off the legs of a woman who'd been dancing her entire life.  Calisham dancer's shoes adorned her feet, and gold bracelets rested about her wrist, an amulet about her neck, a circlet upon her forehead, and small gloves about her hands.  The final touch to this heartwarder's outfit was the ring on her left hand, which bore Sune's symbol upon it, and was given to her whens he officially became a Heartwarder, given to her by none other than her teacher and her first lover: Kyna Kavanaugh.<br/><br/>Well... perhaps that was not<em>all</em>that there was to her outfit, such as the longsword sitting at her waist attached to a belt, or the bag strapped to her back as well.  She<em>was</em>a highly trained priestess and warrior after all, and summoned such as the one about the Sharessan artifact were reason enough to carry her gear with her at all times.  Not that she'd ever really done any<em>real</em>adventuring, but perhaps this would be the start of that...<br/><br/>Having spent a sufficient amount of time in the Rapture quarter, Kass had an idea as to where Scarletlight way was, so the trip wouldn't be too long, she hoped.  So heading to Fourpetals Way, she spotted the lights she was told to search for, and not far from there upon Scarletlight she spoted the Den of Divine Diamonds, piece of cake to find it!  Stepping through the beads, her hips swaying sensually as the exotically beautiful woman gave off the aura of the living embodiment of sex (and indeed, she knew for a fact at the moment that she certainly<em>smelled</em>like sex), Kass smiled bright and friendlily, her eyes quickly noting the celestial elf in such<em>lovely</em>garb before her.  Another elf?  She must have Sune's personal blessing today...<br/><br/>""Hello and blessing of Sharess upon you, my good elf."" she began, curtsying in her own special way so that she drew intentional attention to her cleavage, and to those behind her her ass ""I am Kassina Sandrose, Heartwarder of Sune, though a woman of your grace and beauty need not be so formal with my name; Kass should suffice, I think.  I was contacted not long ago about a missing artifact of the Dancing Lady... might that have been you, love?  If so I would<em>love</em>to hear about this missing artifact.  Perhaps as we make ourselves... comfortable, with one another?"""

She nodded, ""I am indeed the same who contacted you. Sharess's kisses you to too, lady Kass or, hmm..."" she appraised the nicely garbed and yet revealed body of the dancer as she stood, an even six feet, with the ribbons stretching and sliding sensuously across her own metallic copper body. ""Miss Kass, if you prefer."" She approached the bardess to deliver greeting kisses to each cheek. ""My, but you've the look of youth about you, though at no doubting or discredit to your reputation, I should add. Much younger looking and 'twould surely be considered depraved scandal for one to take personal liaisons or liberties with one such as yourself."" The ghaele's narrow nostrils flared a bit, as if becoming aware of the particular scents which now clung to Kass.<br/><br/>""Yet that is not why I beseeched your presence - more's the pity. I am Saturnia, a creature of Brightwater and priestess of the Dancing Lady. Yet the artifact I spoke of exists - or did, when last it was where it ought be - in the Prime Material Plane, from a temple in the oasis town of Siwa, in the old arid empire of Mulhorand. I will apologize if you would not have answered my Sending knowing that, but a Sending is by nature limited in its number of words. If this dissuades you not, I keep prepared a a spell which can planeshift you with precision, and I cannot imagine that any priestess at the temple with sufficient command of magic to planeshift you back later would not be happy to do so.""<br/><br/>""As you may know, Sharess was once of the Mulhorandi pantheon herself, and known as Bast, patroness of dancing, cats, and...the other things she still is to this day. The artifact itself, though I've never seen it myself, I understand to be a statue of Adon, a champion of<em>Sune</em>several decades ago - notably, during the Godswar or Time of Troubles, when gods walked the earth. The Dancing Lady nearly fell under the sway of or was subsumed by the Nightsinger, the dark goddess whose usual name I care not to say but which you likely know, and was rescued from this by Sune. Although I don't know the precise nature or origin of this statue, I gather it symbolizes this bond, and the priestesses see it as a reminder of the care one must take on life's branching paths.""<br/><br/>""If stood in a date tree grove outside the temple, and its power or one of them, I understand, is that priestesses and other village girls believe that a heartfelt performance of fellatio upon the statue -which stands erect, one might say - is a boon to one's health. I have by Sending<em>to</em>me been made to understand that within the last day, one or more girls found her attentions upon the statue gathered no such divine favor, and that when the statue was more critically inspected, and its auras of magic divined upon, it was determined a forgery, a copy.""<br/><br/>A new, less musical and more wry voice answered, ""Perhaps to give the thieves more time before their deed was noticed."" One of the other bead curtains parted as a redheaded lady stepped through; she was older than Kass to be sure, but did not yet seem fading in face or bodily poise with age. Her hair was more of a crimson color than the orange-red of many redheads, her eyes were a catlike hazel. Her outfit was a rather drab charcoal-gray-black which hugged her body to aesthetically and perhaps acrobatically convenient effect.<br/><br/>She studied Kass a moment, with a smile that widened subtly as she drank the sight in, and introduced herself, ""Pardon the belated introduction, I was, ah..relieving myself, and had only just arrived a few minutes before you, and from the sound of things up the hall, Saturnia has told you now about exactly what she had told me.""<br/><br/>Saturnia said to Kass, ""or those I sent Sendings to, it is you two and one other who have replied in the affirmative either by the Sending-reply itself or showing up. That third is the wizard Faebion. He arrived first, was told what I just have told you, and excused himself to of the back chambers to cast some sort of information-gathering spell. He said the casting would be ten minutes, which should be about done now, plus a bit more while he makes use of the cast spell."" The ghaele gestured down another of the bead-curtained archways.<br/><br/>The redhead listened, then smiled again at Kass, ""I was just about to go check on him again. Without interrupting, of course, just looking....it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes,"" she grinned like a cat. ""I am Aria, currently based in Sune's quarter and with, suffice to say, intimate connections to her faith although my own goddess dwells in another plane entirely. I've been an adventurer or agent most of my career - my methods and contributions to my church and previous parties thus far mostly sneaking and scouting about, bypassing locks and other mechanical inconveniences, knife-fighting or trading arrows when I have to, that sort of thing."""

Kass liked redheads, and her hair was redder than most.  Older, but not too old to be called such, hazel eyes, and while her outfit was more practical than flattering like Kass' own, it did have the effect of accentuating her curves, and dammit did the woman have some<em>lovely</em>curves!  Kass licked her lips; this woman was truly and utterly<em>delicious</em>... and the fact that she had been 'relieving' herself only made the young human want her more.<br/><br/>She didn't get the chance to talk though, for Saturnia began to speak.  There was a wizard too, a man... Kass wasn't the nearly as fond of men, not that she didn't find them attractive, trustworthy, or friendly, but men had a tendency to want to control things, especially women, even<em>more</em>especially young and 'naive' women like herself.  Having grown up in Calimshan, where women were second class citizens in most everything but the underworld, only to be found by Kyna, a woman who was the pure essence of dominance, she grew to like the taste of control, of power, and thus her fondness of men suffered for it.  But that aside, that was whom had answered the call to aid in the recovery of the statue of Adon, so she'd be working with this Faebion without problem, unless of course he caused one, but for the moment he seemed to be gathering information, which would certainly help this mission of theirs.<br/><br/>She chuckled; maybe the man was a looker, that would be a plus, though if he was a looker and a<em>woman</em>it would have been even better.  Though at the mention of the redhead's name, Kass' eye went wide.  Aria?  'intimately connected' to the Sunite faith?  And her array or skills marking her as one who worked best under the cover of night and shadows... no, it couldn't be...<br/><br/>""Aria...<em>the</em>Aria who's Keela Kavanaugh's, Kyna Kavanaugh's granddaughter, lover?"" Kass asked, still a bit surprised, something that<em>rarely</em>happened to her in a social setting ""I<em>never</em>thought I would meet you!  I'm one of Kyna's disciples, and she has held nothing but the<em>highest</em>regard for you and your lover, her granddaughter!  You are every bit as<em>gorgeous</em>as she said you were... but where is Keela?  I was told that you two were all but inseparable, an adventuring duo who saved the daughter of Mystra's chosen from Umberlee, and saved a Heartwarder from the grips of darkness even<em>after</em>being imprisoned...""<br/><br/>Kass grinned then, her gaze taking on a suggestive, more lustful look.<br/><br/>""Then again, after what I heard about Keela's Rite of Love, perhaps your 'relieving yourself' in that room left Keela there completely spent and in a state of bliss so strong she has yet to recover from it?"" Kass suggested in a throaty, sensual purr ""I wish I had been here earlier then; would have been quite the show I'm sure!"""

She nodded, mirroring Kass's face of visceral interest and stepping close, ""I am the same. And flattered you know me, I suppose! Perhaps it starts to reason those Saturnia knew of to contact would tend to have other linkages themselves. Keela is with child and not adventuring while thus. She's hardly left alone; we have a few<em>very</em>special friends and servants. Hmm, now that you mention it..."" she studied Kass carefully, ""I might've heard of you; when her grandmother last visited she spoke of this new prodigy she had the good fortune to consider herself an influence on...and from the look of your age I might guess you are she.""<br/><br/>""In any case, I am afraid I was not revealing myself in so pleasant a way, merely heeding nature's more mundane call, but that's neither here nor there. I've been hydrating overmuch since I got here; Saturnia informed me how arid Mulhorand is, and I am used to cold climes, you see-""<br/><br/>She was interrupted by an unseen speaker of jubilant, masculine voice. ""Haaa-ha! I've done it! The spell succeeds! I had a suspicion this one might be behind such a theft; in my readings of plane-lore I came upon the name Karsysa; a demoness infamous for over a thousand years for goading mortals to steal artifacts for her, one who now serves the Nightsinger rather than the Lords of the Abyss no less...""<br/><br/>The voice came from beyond another of the beaded curtains, past which a hallway made a T. A man moved briskly into sight from the left branch, waving long-fingered hands triumphantly. He wore a blonde man of hair, and wizardly robes of crimson cut almost sleeveless to reveal rather athletic arms by the standards of a wizard. The sight of Kass seemed to distract him, and widen his ivory smile and green eyes, but he continued, ""...and so I have...""<br/><br/>Saturnia asked, ""Scryed upon-""<br/><br/>""Better!"" he snapped his fingers. ""I, Faebion, have called and bound the she-fiend, that we might find whatever part she has placed, and in any case entrap her against performing any more ill acts!""<br/><br/>Saturnia thundered, ""You<em>attempted a planar binding!?</em>""<br/><br/>""Attempted?"" Faebion laughed. ""<em>Enacted!</em>Just now she's encircled-""<br/><br/>A tree-trunk thick snake tail shot around the corner from which he'd appeared, encircling the wizard about his chest. The man's triumphantly raised arms fell to grapple helplessly at the constricting thing, but within moments his eyes rolled back in his head, and  there were several snapping sounds within his constricted torso. The fellow fell unconscious and limp but still very much held aloft by the huge serpent-tail; until a moment later, whence his unconscious body simply vanished.<br/><br/>More of his attacker slid into view: serpent-bodied but not a serpent entirely, its upper a woman clutching six swords in six lean strong arms.

Her thin crimson eyebrows rose as she heard the reactions of her companions and realized what the wizard had been doing - and then saw what it'd earned him.<br/><br/>Though no demonologist, she never had a second guess about the creature's hostility. Aria swept an open left hand over her right shoulder to her thin back, and slid forth a bow nearly as tall as herself, while her right hand reached crossways for an arrow. As she strung and let it fly, the wood, metal, and feather missile phased into a ghostly gray-white thing of pure force.<br/><br/>Like a spell-beam it zipped across the room, veering ever so subtly between hanging bead-strands, and down the hall. It struck the marilith in the hollow of her throat before she'd even locked her eyes on the trio in the room. She writhed atop her serpentine lower body, hissing, while more arrows struck her ribs or the wall around her. She vanished much like Faebion had, one more force arrow striking the wall behind her.<br/><br/>The six-sword wielding demoness reappeared right by Aria and Saturnia, towering over both. Saturnia was already spellcasting, and weaved her upper body away from the swords as she finished the spellcasting syllables to trumpet a more comprehensively, ""Five centuries is yet not long enough! Back whence you came, Karsysa!"" The ghaele's ribbon-like outfit flickered as she reached over a bare shoulder and produced a glittering greatsword from a previously nearly-bare back.<br/><br/>She threw her hands out, and the air around the demoness seemed to ripple inwards, as if trying to pull her not this way or that but out of space entirely. The marilith purred throatily, ""You never did have taste for a long engagement, Saturnia...perhaps because eladrin males leave you accustomed to such brief and anticlimatic affairs.""<br/><br/>Aria had gone wide-eyed at the sudden six-sworded presence towering above her, but seemed to reorient and recompose herself at hearing Kass's more courageous voice. ""One quick death it is..."" she gestured to Saturnia, who circled about Karsysa the opposite way from Aria. But a step later, while Karsysa taunted the eladrin, Aria drew a concave-edged kukri knife in her right hand; as she stepped around Karsysa her right arm flashed up as serpentine in nature as her target's lower body, an in overhead crescent motion. The kukri sliced and hooked in between several of the creature's many shoulderblades; Karsysa screamed, back arching and her six arms all flinging wide.<br/><br/>""Ah!"" Aria gasped, drawing away as if striking the marlith's body had shocked her. She shuddered briefly while Karsysa dropped her swords in a rain of sharp metal which Aria had to spring back further from, and then crumpled in a coiled heap across the plush-carpeted floor of the den with six arms and one great tail all spread wide.<br/><br/>Clutching her body crossways with kurki and bow holding hands, Aria grunted, ""There was some muscle-addling backlash from striking her, but I think I am fine. "" She hopped towards Kass and kissed her cheek, ""In fact I'm feeling really good about that one!

Aria was more powerful than she had thought... and the thought served to arouse her, filling her with even more desire for the woman that was practically her master's family and a mother-to-be.  She was okay though, and even hopped over to Kass and celebrated their first victory with a kiss, which Kass returned in kind, though as before she added a bit of a lick to the mix, just because it was<em>far</em>more sensual that way.<br/><br/>""As I you; I didn't even have to lift a blade against it!""

If he'd already started asking questions from the room where he was doing the casting, we'd have heard it from here I think.

The nearer two were craven-looking, bipedal but inhuman looking creatures, with blackish-red flesh, and grotesque elongated limbs and claws,. They hissed in masculine voices, yet were dressed in maudlin parodies of the feminine: fishnet stocking, ill-fitting corsets stuffed or padded with something to give the appearance of breasts beneath, and sallow bat-goblin faces plastered with much rouge and kohl.<br/><br/>The pair behind them, the two genuinely female speakers, were by contrast too beautiful and poised to not arouse suspicion in the most skeptical of souls, with bodies corsetted by savory and quite genuine female curves, their legs girded with thigh high leather boots and far higher leather skirts.

The fiend seemed to flinch and twit about it even before realizing what he was doing, and it caught him shallowly along one arm.<br/><br/>The babau grinned evilly at Aria, and to her surprise, he seemed to vanish amidst the romantic lightning and bead curtains swaying before him in her sight. She was aiming her arrows now at the succubi, as they had already been injured by Kass and, to judge from the staff, one or both might be spellcasters (and she still remembered a fight upon a certain remote Brightwater beach). An arrow clean through the throat dropped the badly-bruished and staff-carrying succubus; she dropped to her knees in what woudl otherwise have been a suggestive position, clutching at her thraot before slumping to the carpet. The other succubus Aria caught twice under the armpit as she turned, causing the she-fiend to flop down dead over her sister.<br/><br/>A babau appeared right in front of Aria, clawing out nastily. The tiefling reacted much as the babau had to her arrow, her body flinching with animalistic instinct before her forebrain even realized she was doing so, but the claw still left several hard-slapping slashes along her left cheek.<br/><br/>Saturnia grunted as the other babau, after having hidden in the open like its fellow, reappeared just before her and slashed across her throat; it would've been a deadly accurate blow, but her flesh seemed to resist the strike somewhat. The ghaele drew her sword and indicated the two babaus as she stepped back and declared, ""Their skin can be acidic, I know all too well; I shall protect us now;"" her voice fell into an abjurative spellcast which washed over the two invited adventurers as well as hersef.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Yes, I thought of and meant to but forgot to mention, her song is still in effect, say 7 rounds (this round + 6 more).<br/><br/>I agree, looks like a great time to try some spellcasting - four tightly packed enemies just beg to be area-spelled, don't they.<br/><br/>Aria has a number of those crystals; she has a set of masterwork throwing hammers with the crystals; she can let Kass borrow some.<br/><br/>Permanency does have an XP cost, but you can - in fact when you cast the spell from an item, it's the only way you can - essentially ""buy"" it. When an item crafter creates a scroll/wand/staff/etc, they have to put the XP into the item (per charge) (in additional to the regular item crafting XP costs). I don't think the user of the wand/staff can pay the XP cost even if they wanted to (say to save money on the item cost). Naturally this raises the price of the item (1 XP = 5 GP). The Scrolls SRD has some permanency scrolls as an example; it's why they're much more expensive than the other L5 spell scrolls.

""You don't look so strong either..."" when the sword flashed out more swiftly than it had expected, clipping its thick-corded neck and drawing caustically hissing blood. ""The noise, the noise!"" it howled, its head seeming to vibrate from the sonic aftershock the musically quivering blade delivered. The heat and flame of its edge, however, seemed not to hurt the fiend-flesh at all.<br/><br/>The other babau taunted its own injured fellow, ""Style over strength, it seems!""<br/><br/>""Nice manuevering!"" Aria called to Kass, impressed with the bard having already picked up the tactic's importance to her after the marilith fight. She drew her favoite kukri and made several quick slashes at the struck creature, but it was artfully twisting to face Kass and Aria with an arm each and bobbing its head gamily back and forth. Most of Aria's slashes drew blood, but the creature was just evasive enough to keep her from striking just where she wanted and opening arteries or ruining joints. Soon she dropped her bow and brought a second kukri to bear, finding that blade hurt it even less. She hissed several times, while the babau in between her and Kass laughed, ""Dance, magic, dance! And tell me,"" it said to Kass, ""Where<em>did</em>you get that outfit! I shall<em>have</em>to try it on...after devouring your corpse within it!""<br/><br/>The other, white-corsetted babau which had attacked Saturnia now leaped back to the corner of the hall, its body flickering like a silhouette or shadow of its former self as it did so. It planted one foot against the wall and then, like a shadow dancing upon a wall with no person to call it their own, leaped down again through the beaded curtain and opposite its fellow from Kass; obviously seeking to flank her in turn. It landed with a downward swipe of one claw, and then shouted in a deep baritone voice across Kass to its fellow, ""Fine, you can have her clothes! But<em>I</em>call her scalp and that gorgeous hair! I've not had a decent wig since you ate my last, you brute!""<br/><br/>The injured, pink-corsetted babau made several hasty swipes and even a chomping bite at Kass as well, always keeping a gamey eye on the attacking Aria. Scowling at the uncannily evasive babau, Aria glanced at her own wetted kurkis and called, ""My cold iron weapon hurts it better than the other!""<br/><br/>""That's not nice! T' give away our secrets!"" The other one laughed, then growled and hissed as Saturnia spellcast, pointing at it with a dismissive gesture and growling, ""Get...thee...gone!"" The two outsiders seemed locked in a battle of wills for a brief moment, but then the babua's face relaxed and it giggled merrily.<br/><br/><br/><br/>You don't need to roll when you're guaranteed to make the check (like the DC 15 Tumble for avoiding AoOs at half-speed, or 25 for full speed).

That would put it at a 29 in that case...<br/><br/>And thank you for the compliment!  I was wanting to test out her options, and so far I like her<em>very much</em>!  Only downside is lacking Evasion and Uncanny Dodge, but then again you didn't throw too many Reflex Saves my way last time (and even less Fort saves), and Flat Footed I still have a decent AC that will only get higher as I get Luck, Sacred, and Insight bonus items.  I think I'm set for a good run of this game ^_^"

The bard's next comment to Saturnia got her thinking, and she felt her tail twitching wildly. Encouraged by Keela to let it go a little freer, the tiefling today was not quite wearing pants, but rather thigh-high charcoal-black boots over which a matched skirt hung to about her knees, so narrow that at a glance it almost just seemed like an overlong shirt. The arrangement kept her tail hidden (for occasions when it might be a social disadvantage or cost her inconspicuousness) but not really restrained,<br/><br/>Saturnia, while casting healing spells upon them both, was smiling, seeming quite aware and pleased by what Kass had just said to Aria as well. She answered, ""I fear not, though I suppose Faebion's supposition about those who worship the Nightsinger is one possibility - far too many humans of the Prime do as well. Mulhorand has its own dark cults, such as that of the serpent-god Set. Or it might be more secular thieves out to steal-and-sell, Red Wizards collecting things of magic to aid ever-planned conquests against Thay's neighbors..."" she shrugged, ""the variety of possibilities is rather depressing. All I yet know is the Sending I was sent myself, let's see if I can quote it properly:""<br/><br/>With a measured tone and up-rolled eyes, she recited, ""Siwa temple, priestess Rana. Adon statue replaced by forgery within last day. Taker unknown. Divinations or sent champions beseeched; offered servicegrace.""<br/><br/>In her usual, more natural voice the ghaele explained, ""A servicegrace is their preferred term for a custom which has various names and connotations across the Old Empires, such as in nearby Chessenta the mentorship of youths to more seasoned philosophers and athletes. It offends the sensibilities of some but is hardly slavery - though of course there has been a great deal of that in Mulhorand over the millenia; they say its great pyramids were all built by thousands of slaves.<br/><br/>""Among our temples, a servicegrace is a bit like an apprenticeship but not necessarily to a particular trade, or a servant-hiring; sometimes a means of payment if leiu of material wealth the payees may lack, and ideally always a part of a priestess's path or learning anyway. In this context it means that if I found persons to recover the statue, they would each be offered the time, presence, person and service of a particular acolyte for a year and a day. For the girl it is typically a time of spiritual awakening to what it means to truly know Sharess, and she will often seek to learn just what pleasure means to whomever she serves for that time, and how to cultivate it, preparing their favorite foods and serving them bite by bite, playing music or drawing or sculpting their likeness, nannying any children, healing wounds, or other things besides. For those girls whose master or mistress travels during the year, it can be a chance to see more of the world. Some stay on with their master or mistress, as a house- or village-priestess, concubine, or wife. A girl is often chosen and offered by some senior priestess, though to persons and circumstances where they judge she would be decently treated. The gist of it is that the Siwa temple offers you to pay you in labor, a serving-girl for a year and a day, which need not begin the moment the task ends if such time were not convenient. In the meantime consider all this yours.""<br/><br/>She'd gestured to the babau and succubus bodies; Aria had already started to pick off a few pieces of jewelry which she could see were magical, the staff of the succubus of course - and, it seemed upon their death, the four corsets had in fact been glamered torso-chainmail.<br/><br/><br/>magic stuff:<br/>babaus:<br/>2x mithral chain shirt<br/>2x amulet<br/>succubi:<br/>2x mithral chain shirt<br/>2x amulet<br/>1x handy haversack with 4x masterwork manacles, 400' of silk rope, and misc. sexual and travel-size torture implements<br/>1x staff<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Most stunning things are Fort (like the Stunning Fist feat, or a nymph's Stunning Glance), and probably meant to be like when someone gets their wind knocked out. (The 'daze' condition has similar effects to stun and a more 'mental' feel.) I do see that the item has an enchantment aura (b/c Hold Monster is the spell used in crafting), although I'm not sure if the item effect is an 'enchantment' effect (for example, if a monk's Still Mind class feature would give it a +2 bonus on the save.) Every magic item radiates an aura corresponding to one of the schools of magic; they probably figured Hold Monster was the most appropriate spell for crafting the item (stunning and holding are a little different, but not every item has a corresponding spell with identical effects).<br/><br/>In any case, I think the 'enchantment' qualifier on the Veil of Allure is only for its spells and spell-like abilities. Extraordinary and supernatural abilities need not be enchantment, just Charisma-based (not both I think, although 'adjective-noun-and-other-noun' grammar is always ambiguous); most Ex and Su abilities don't have an associated school of magic at all (although some may say they are 'enchantment', like a bard's Fascinate / (Mass) Suggestion).<br/>For example, a dracolich's breath weapon DC is Charisma-based, so it would be enhanced even though it doesn't have an 'enchantment' feel at all.<br/><br/>Something like the Veil, of a Spell Focus feat, wouldn't affect most item effects at all (for example, Spell Focus doesn't increase the DCs of spells cast from a wand). However, since the Stunning Surge property uses its wielder's Charisma mod, the Veil probably should modify it. (Most items have fixed DCs regardless of who wields it.) So DC 29.  Very nice.<br/><br/>If you'd like Evasion, there are rings of evasion. I always thought bards were the best class for that ring, since they are the only class with good Reflex saves but not Evasion (others are monk, ranger, rogue). That or paladin (poor Reflex saves and usually mediocre Dex, but they get the Cha-to-saves). I don't know of a way to pick up Uncanny Dodge, but just increasing AC provides a similar benefit, as you alluded to. (Against most foes the only difference is retaining Dex bonus to AC; very few monsters have 'racial' sneak attack damage like the babaus did).<br/>"

It was not unlike the 'tips' sometimes given certain types of dancers, but probably higher denominators of coin than most such performers received.<br/><br/>Saturnia gave each adventurer a blessings-upon-you kiss, then cast her spell and touched them with each hand.<br/><br/>Abruptly the light and air changed. All became brighter, hotter, and drier. Aria found herself with Kass upon an arcade which ran around a courtyard, open to a bright blue Faerunian sky but enclosed on four sides by a building. The courtyard's central gardens and blue-white-tiled fountain were ringed by columns which held aloft the vaulted roof above their heads, as did the four yellow-beige sandstone walls outward.<br/><br/>They stood before a plain wooden door in the nearest wall, which was just being opened by an entering lady who then gasped and stepped back from the two appearing adventurers. She was human, of perhaps twenty-five winters (if this place had winters to speak of), with the coppery skin, straight black hair, and voluptuous hips and breasts which characterized the ethnic Mulhorandi. A quite simple white skirt wrapped those hips, ending above the knees, and hanging so low much of her hip and pelvic bones could be glimpsed. She was sandaled and almost bear-breasted, wearing not so much a top garment as an ornate rosary necklace of silver and ivory which served to adorn and lift her breasts. She wore a few matching bracelets and hair-beads, but carried in her hands perhaps more mass than she wore upon her person:a mirrored ovular tray (in fact perhaps it had been used as a mirror) heaped with dates, figs, some sort of small spherical brown sugared confection.<br/><br/>Her face was quizzical and a bit afraid at the interplanar arrival, so Aria explained and asked, ""We understand your priestess Rana contacted one Saturnia about a certain missing relic, asking for help to be sent...we are that, or at least we intend to be.""<br/><br/>""Oh!"" the lady bowed her head, recognition on her face, but said no more. She opened her door the rest of the way, and gestured with her head to follow as she quickly crossed an office room with a desk half-covered in papyrus scrolls. ""Rana said to interrupt her for such, whatever the moment..."" she explained in demure and heavily accented Common.<br/><br/>Aria, noticing her manner and glancing back across the courtyard to see two other pairs of persons - one lady following another closely behind and carrying tomes, and by the fountain, a man sitting upon a bench and dictating to a girl who knelt by it with papyrus and quill rather than sharing the bench - got a bit of the sense that Saturnia had referred to: that the cultural norms of Mulhorand carried more customs of servitude, in contrast to some places further west, like the individualistic but cutthroat Luskan, the more egalitarian Silverymoon, or even mercantile hubs like Waterdeep where station was a matter mostly of coin and customer-client relationships. The girls following and carrying or taking dictation seemed perfectly happy and even eager with their activities of the moment, she noticed, and shrugged.<br/><br/>The girl who'd spoken to them opened a second door at the back of the office, and Aria followed far enough into the office to see through. The chamber beyond seemed a bit larger and almost open-air, with a roof craftily designed with slanted breaks so that sunlight filtered in but nothing falling directly down (did it ever rain here? Aria wondered) would fall in.<br/><br/>The chamber was dominated by a canopy bed whose curtains were all but transparent, merely casting that within in an ivory light. The bed's head was not against a wall; rather, a curtain on that side was parted. A girl with features and dress much like the mirror-carrying girl stood there, softly reciting poetry and slowly waving a single palm front. She was fanning one - no, two - persons upon the bed itself. A third Mulhorani woman, of her mid-thirties but gorgeous, stretched like a cat upon the bed, propping herself on elbows and buttocks, her knees high and far apart. She was bracered and well-bejeweled but otherwise bodily naked, and for good reason it seemed: the black-haired head of yet another female bobbed between her splayed legs. This one was stark naked, a skirt and necklace like the other girls' laying upon one corner of the bed. She seemed to be massaging the inner thighs of the senior lady, which along with whatever her unseen face and mouth were doing, elicited a number of pitched moans from the latter.<br/><br/>The lady glanced at the entering serving-girl, who repeated what she'd said to the guests, ""The ones you asked for by sending are here...you said to interrupt anything...""<br/><br/>The lady seemed puzzled, ""sending...""<br/><br/>""...about the statue of Adon...""<br/><br/>""Of course,"" the lady smiled, ""and by all means,"" glancing through the open door and showing no hint of self-consciousness, guilt, or embarrassment at all. The girl between her legs briefly paused, but the lady, with a confident and guiding hand, cupped and nudged her cheek and the crown of her head; soon the girl dipped her head down again. The lady seemed to pay her no more conscious heed, but her face and breath betrayed incredible pleasure, and her copper skin beaded with hot, headily sweat mixing the scents of rubbed-on saffron and the human body's own natural responses to such an engagement. ""I am Rana, ranking priestess here, and you are most,<em>most</em>, ardently received.""<br/><br/>For all her airs, Kass would perceive a sense of some guile on the lady's part: that she really hadn't at first known what the entering girl was referring to, rather than just forgetting for a moment amidst her ecstasy, or that she wasn't even whom or what she claimed to be.<br/><br/><br/><br/>+3 pp (30 gp) for Kass<br/><br/>The staff could be counted against both our shares (I forget if I said so to you before, but one thing I've done for ""consumables"" like potions and wands and staves, as either that they count communally, or oner person takes it, but if they  use charges while the party is together,they get 'reimbursed' for the used-up value.)<br/><br/>Yeah, the rope/manacles are 'free' in the sense that, if you choose to sell them I'll add the gp value to the wealth, but I didn't bother to look it up ahead of time. (Most nonmagical things are at the armor doc, the weapon doc, or Goods and Services (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsandservices.htm)). In other words, in-character, the usual incentive to sell or not sell applies (50 gp for a set of mw manacles I think?), they aren't 'free' in teh sense that you wouldn't get gp for selling...I just didn't bother to look it up in advance b/c it's so small-ticket at this level.<br/>"

Kass said as she approached, letting  her hips slink back and forth sensually, her eyes and smirk hinting at the sensuality within her mind ""We'd have been here earlier, but we had to prepare ourselves, after all.  I am Kassina Sandrose, Heartwarder of Sune, and young as I am I assure you I am<em>quite</em>capable of handling a mission such as this.  Oh... and you don't mind if I touch, do you?""<br/><br/>She moved up close, reaching out across the bed to run her hands up the leg of the woman servicing 'Rana,' letting it rest upon her lovely, coppery-toned buttocks, rubbing it and making sounds of approval as she squeezed it.  While she did this, she turned to look at 'Rana,' still smiling at the woman who continued to have her pussy licked despite being in so much company.<br/><br/>""Oh... and it seems odd that you would forget about the sending... considering how important a relic that statue is to the Mulhorandi Sharessans, and considering the sending was sent less than two hours ago...""

That's how she was able to furtively cast Dominate Person - if she'd cast it normally we would've been entitled to an initiative check to potentially do something as she was about to cast.<br/><br/>Aria has See Invis and if she could see Rana she would tell Kass (as a free out-of-turn action) - I made a mistake not doing this in my last post, so, since you seemed to indicate you only wanted to do your last action if Kass thought she was, you can change it if you want. (I just edited my last post with Aria saying she couldn't see her.)  Of course it's always possible that Rana is still nearby and mundanely hidden from Aria despite the See Invis (using mundane total cover like a wall, or something like that).<br/><br/>In general, whether you can see the cues to an invisible person is contextual - they're easier to see in water b/c of the displacement (like the sirine in the river), or in certain terrain which leaves more obvious footprints (Aria on the beach). Generally it's still a listen vs move silently and spot vs hide (w/ Invis giving a a Hide bonus of +40 while still or +20 while moving).<br/>In this case our characters see or hear no such cues. It's possible I could forget such things, but usually when I don't mention cues it means there either were none or we failed to spot/hear them.<br/><br/>re: targeted Dispel and invis. You can't target targeted spells against a foe you can't see (so invis, usually, even if a friend you can see invis indicates where they are). There's no miss chance, you just can't do it. You could do an area spell, which centered in the room would indeed hit Kass and Aria. I don't believe you can only target enemies with it.<br/><br/>Also what do you mean by +38.......GDM has a cap of +20 to the caster level, not a bonus of +20.<br/><br/>And smart thinking about arcane casters tending to have bad Fort saves.<br/><br/>120' is a pretty awesome spell range - but remember a a 'burst' spell doesn't go around corners aka affect creatures with total cover (a 'spread' like a Stinking Cloud would) - so if Aria can't see her she's probably out of line of sight and effect.<br/><br/>For example, an enemy you couldn't see b/c of (total) concealment (successfully hiding in bushes, or invis, etc.) would still be hit by such a spell, one with total cover (around a solid wall) would not be."

'readied action'?)<br/><br/>Generally speaking, b/c I do group initiative for enemies (with only 1 in this case anyway), the 'friendlies' (PCs and any NPCs ready to do what they tell them, like the girls here) can use delay actions to arbitrarily reorder their turns every round. Aria could go before Kass one round and after her the next and then reverse back, and so on. (Of course, the enemies can do the same thing b/c they are also together.) In PBP games with 3+ players this is a massie speedup of the pace of the campaign, since people only need to wait for the DM to post each round, rather then their particular order in the turn.

Aria clicked her heels and wrists together, feeling herself speed up at the former, and at the latter, her vision seemed to focus and refine as if she could see Rana through a spyglass, close enough to make out where the jugular and femoral arteries ought be beneath that naked skin...was the world like this for eagles and hawks when they soared so high and yet made out furry things scurrying in autumn leaves far below?<br/><br/>She loosed the first arrow, which like those before phased into a a missile of pure force. This was of particular benefit to Aria under her blink-magic: such arrows existed simultaneously on the material and ethereal planes, like magic missiles, and so regardless of Aria's own blinking state for each shot, they had a chance of striking the flying, invisible, but material 'Rana'.<br/><br/>The hovering magess screamed as an arrow skewered her right thigh, clean through her and leaving an arc of arterial blood behind the passing feathered shaft. Her scream ended with an arrow through the throat; she seemed to black out, and abruptly fell out of the air.<br/><br/>In the courtyard, the acolyte following the blonde man screamed as Rana - no, not Rana indeed, but now a woman of olivine complexion and wavy dark hair, no bracers, but still the pack and staff, and more jewelry but otherwise naked - crashed against part of the fountain, breaking off the head of a cat statue (and probably breaking the hip which had done so), and then splashed into its turquoise waters. The water reddened with blood, and the wooden staff floated in it, as the girl and her blonde mentor rushed towards it. The man inspected it for a moment, and then shouted up to the roof, ""An impostor indeed! Let her bleed out and drown, or render stably passed-out with a quick pinch of healing?""<br/><br/>Upon the roof, Aria groaned in relief, and told Kass, ""Thanks...glad we have some of our own teleportive magic, Kass!"" There was a fiery admiration in her hazel eyes as they swept down and up the bardess yet again. ""To save magic or climbing-time getting us down, I could glide us..."" Her narrow, thin, ashy-black cloak seemed to part and lift, soon become a pair of ash-gray, feathered angelic wings. She smiled lopsidedly and explained, ""Item-magic, not celestial heritage.

(Another thing I didn't include for a deliberate/tactical type reason but wish I could say I had.) Even w/o then, I'd've said that Kass would have a good estimate of the roof height from when she was in the courtyard. And she could always estimate a bit high; the girls' tumble skills and high HP make a little falling damage no sweat. Even the HP damage from appearing inside a solid object (if you estimated too low) would be paltry at this level - the bigger concern, I imagine, would be any wasted turns from being shunted back down into the room or some attic crawlspace rather than to the roof as desired.<br/><br/>Aria: cast haste and sniper's shot; full attack<br/>mods 29/29/24/19/14 (with another +2 bonus for being treated as an invisible attacker due to blinking, assuming Rana can't see ethereal creatures, such as by also having See Invis in effect) (no range increment penalties; height difference of 15' vs 40' for 25', and lateral distance of 55')<br/>Result: 5, 13, 11, 8, 9,<br/>atk 36 dmg 4+68<br/>atk 44 dmg 4+62, dying<br/><br/>Rana falls 40' for 13 (=4d6)  falling dmg (40' so 4d6), dying<br/><br/>(not totally certain but I think you fall if you go unconscious while using a Fly spell - the maneuverability rating is sufficient to hover, but it says it requires as much concentration as walking, and walking characters fall down if they go unconscious)<br/><br/>The DD with a friend was a clever tactic, btw. It may also be very useful in 'ambush' situations (works well with a sneak attacker)<br/><br/>In this case it worked very well: without the DD, Aria probably would've used a move action to go into the courtyard, leaving her 1 ranged attack against Rana. Rana would've then cast See Invis (now knowing she was facing a sneak attacker and thus it was important to see through her blink), making it much harder for Aria to do any decent damage.<br/><br/>In that case knocking Rana out of the air with the Heaven's Trumpet spell (the paralysis makes her a sitting duck, esp. for a sneak attacker, like when Kass stunned the babau) would've been an excellent tactic. Hopefully Rana would've failed that Fort save - which indeed she'd have had a good chance of failing - and things would've ended on Kass's next turn (i.e. Aria moves out, makes 1 attack, Rana casts See Invis, probably moves but likely stays within 120', then Kass moves out and casts Heaven's Trumpet with line of effect to Rana)."

Kass said, pointing to the woman who had been licking the fake Rana's snatch earlier ""Gather the other servants that were in that room, dress if you'd like, and wait for me so I can ask a few questions that may help me to also track down the real Rana.""<br/><br/>Then, turning around to see Aria relieved, glad she hadn't killed the woman (a miracle, in all honesty), and thanked her before eying her up and down again in her dancer's garb, to which she sensually wiggled her hips and gave her a wink.  Sweet Sune, she loved the attention and gazes of lust, especially from such a beautiful woman as the tiefling before her!  When she revealed her wings, beautiful and majestic, though clearly not those of a devil-blooded, Kass giggled and moved towards her, jumping up so that Aria would have to carry her bridal style, her hands holding on gently to the woman's neck as she leaned up and kissed her on the cheek.<br/><br/>""Celestials are nice... but I personally find devils to be quite interesting myself..."" she whispered into her ear, softly and with a deep, sensual purr ""Especially when I put them on their knees before me,<em>begging</em>for a taste of my sweet womanly nectar...""<br/><br/>Sorry, but that was such a perfect line to end on I didn't want to add any more ^_^.  To avoid a round of extra posting, when they get to the ground Kass will have Aria tie the woman up after she's been stabilized, and she and the blond man and his acolyte will take her to a place where we can safely interrogate her without worrying about anyone else overhearing.  Kass will follow them and bring the three servants that were in the room previously to ask them questions when they get just outside the interrogation room.  She'll probably have the blond man orchestrate a search effort after that, so they can search the grounds for Rana since it's quite possible she's still on the premises."

So perhaps Keela's grandmother had told Kass about that little fact about herself...well she decided she didn't mind a bit, and it was rather refreshing that Kass hardly seemed to mind the fact itself. ""Hold that thought then; one does read that devil-blood, dark yet ordered in its nature, can carry proclivities toward domination and submission alike...""<br/><br/>She made a point of reaching around Kass snugly to squeeze her shapely rear when using her wings to glide down from the roof; she wouldn't usually be completely agile flying this way, but she could slowly and without falling. In the courtyard, the naked and very wet-chinned girl had gathered the other two,, the palm-front-waver now emerging after her fruitless lookout from the balcony. They obediently let Kass and Aria lead them after the direction the blonde man and his acolyte had carried the impostor's body after stabilizing it.<br/><br/>The most soundproof room of the temple, it seemed, was a dry, underground cellar for wines, nonperishable foods, and various tools and materials for maintaining the temple grounds. Perhaps surprisingly, or perhaps not given the faith, it had one intended seating surface and a rather comfortable-looking one at that: a slightly tattered black velvet divan, probably a piece of furniture which had been 'retired' from chambers above once it grew old but was kept around in case of future need, for discrete liaisons and comfortable contemplations in this quiet chamber, or both.<br/><br/>The three girls who'd attended the impostor now waited outside its heavy door, in a similar cellar chamber where the stairs had first descended. In the inner room, the blonde man and his mentee stripped truly naked the unconscious impostor, while Aria made rather a point of stowing away all her things (including the spell components upon her person, and her staff and all her things which radiated magic). Once the man and 'his' girl went off to speak to other temple clergy as Kass suggested, Aria brought forth a good length of rope, and began a rather elaborate binding process. Soon the strong silk strands crisscrossed the woman like spiderwebs, breasts and buttcheeks and limbs poking out amidst them, and those limbs bound to the divan with the woman face-down. Aria even blindfolded the woman, and affixed a second thing beneath the blindfold around the woman's jaw: a band of black Maztican rubber, which split in an 'O' halfway along its length, shaped like a set of human teeth. Aria fit these inside the lips and over the woman's upper and lower teeth, explaining, ""Keeps a prisoner from biting down all the way or yelling very loudly. Most can speak intelligibly in it, but have trouble casting spells."" With a stoic face she broke the woman's fingers one by one, muttering bluntly but not sadistically, ""What can I say; spellcaster, and a devious one it seemed,"" and tied her hands most tightly of all, each along one of the divan's legs."

Kass told her as she opened the door back up, not quite smiling but still approving and impressed ""You must show me how to do that binding sometime; it's absolutely<em>gorgeous</em>Aria... now keep an eye on her and let me know if she wakes up, though I suspect after what you did to her with your bow she'll be out for some time.""<br/><br/>Motioning for the women to enter, Kass personally took the naked one's hand, and with the other moved to wiper her still dripping hand with a bit of cloth from her bag; she needed to get that imposter's nectar off of her, and she was half-considering giving her another honeypot to drink from to help her cleanse her pallet and get rid of the taste.  That may be a bit too distracting though, so instead she pulled her to her as she rested her own back against the wall, pulling the naked woman close and letting her hands go back to the lovely,<em>lovely</em>ass she had been playing with earlier.<br/><br/>""Now ladies, I assume you all are Rana's personal servants, correct?"" she asked, smiling a bit to ease their nerves as she continued to play with the one woman's ass ""I would like for you to tell me about what all Rana has done today, starting from the time in which she sent the sending to Brightwater a couple of hours ago.  Where she's gone, what she's done, when she was alone, and anything out of the ordinary, any and everything you can about what she's been doing from the time she contacted Saturnia to the time Aria and myself arrived and came to meet her.  Oh, and on a different note...""<br/><br/>She smiled at the naked woman whose ass she was still feeling and squeezing up, recalling that their reward likely would include a servicegrace of an apprentice... and this woman was a positively<em>lovely</em>one who knew how to please a woman, didn't mind walking about in naught but her bare flesh, and was quite obedient as well.  Certainly worth considering.<br/><br/>""Might I have your name, dear?  All of your names, ladies, actually, but I find myself rather interested in you in particular, beautiful."""

"" 'Twould be my pleasure sometime.""  While the bardess spoke to the girls, she remembered the recently-pillages manacles and used a set on the bound woman.<br/><br/>The naked acolyte giggled nervously as Kass cleansed her, and giggled again as the bardess squeezed her rear, making no move to draw away as she listened with the other two. When called beautiful, her posture seemed to lift, as if to present herself in the most attractive possible light, smiling with her breasts lifted high and her hands on hips just so.<br/><br/>She introduced herself as Acenith, the girl who'd been fanning the impostor as Sacmis, and the date-bringer whom Kass had seen first as Arsinoe. Although they were not full-time or primarily servants of Rana, it was true that they had each served her at various capacities and times, as well as the blonde man and other more senior priestesses they were shared with, a it were.<br/><br/>While the first squirmed rather contently in Kass's grip, she and the other two spoke and pieced together aloud what they could: during the last night, another acolyte, who thought she had food poisoning or some other nonfatal stomach ailment, had ventured out into the olive grove where the statue stood to pray to and suck upon it. Finding no relief, she went back later in the name to try various oral techniques, and finally hoped to learn something by casting a detect magic orison on it.<br/><br/>The statue did register as magical (possibly because it had been given a magic aura for just such a reason), with an aura which was reasonable given the nature of its powers - but, she had later confided to a friend in the story, who happened to have previously cast detect magic orisons on the real statue, simply for magic practice, and knew its aura to be different.<br/><br/>This discrepancy was confirmed by others who knew had divined the real statue's aura in the past and went to divine on the new one, and a few clergy claimed to recognize subtle differences in the workmanship. Someone woke Rana, who cast the Sending after a scouring of the grounds yielded no obvious clues. Although none of the girls had been following Rana about the whole morning, they agreed that the most likely time and way for her to've been alone to be snatched and replaced was when she and some other clergy began spreading out alone to cover further afield of the temple in the so-far-fruitless attempts to find footprints or something. Or perhaps when alone in a midden, were a snatch sufficiently quite.<br/><br/>'Rana' had then recently approached Acenith and then the others, claiming she was exhausted from casting divinations in vain, and that they must not let anything derail their daily pursuit of the true understanding of pleasure. Thence had begun the decadence Kass and Aria had walked in on with. Arsinoe."

""If you deem it...mistress,"" she tasted the address on her lips, and bobbed her head in a ready not. The copper-skinned girl glanced about the outer room, her straight hair swaying heavily, as it was organized by many semiprecious stone beads into thick hanging strands.

A target can voluntarily fail a save in most cases, so Will mods might not matter, but might as well get them (the target might not think it's an 'ally' when they feel the tingle and choose to save or not, or be unconscious, plus you have to make sure the 'universe knows' which individual you mean for the spell to work (although in this case you do)."

Kass loved Mulhorandi servant women already!  It was one thing for women to simply be considered 'less than men' in Calimshan, but here in Siwa it seemed a bit... different.  Admittedly, she'd seen but a small part of the populace and tradition, but until told otherwise such was her belief.<br/><br/>""There is good, so long as you are not uncomfortable.""

The girl cried loud, again and again, hooking her shaking legs around Kass and rubbing her calves along the bardess's shoulderblades and nape of neck. Her slender fingers clutched in the dark hair of the Calishite, their squeezing, and her moaning, obeying the rhythms of that tongue.<br/><br/>Aria leaned close enough to peer down between the girl's stomach and Kass's face, watching that tongue dart in and out like a lizard's. The tiefling purred, ""Wow, you<em>are</em>talented...I'm trying to commit each little technique I see here to memory....and when this is all after perhaps I shall have to teach such techniques to my favorite fencing student, or coax you to pay her a visit...how like her quick deft rapier you wield that tongue!"" She could tell also from looking down that Mulhorandi were naturally a bit swarthier than northwestern Faerunians like herself, but that from what she'd seen so far, the Sharess clergy seemed to groom themselves and apparently that included a fair bit of plucking or use of wax. Perhaps it figured, she reflected - the appearance-consciousness of a pleasure goddess, or the grooming penchants of a cat goddess.<br/><br/>Acenith could only nod helplessly in agreement; her back was arching, breasts bouncing violently, as she threw her hair side to side and moaned ecstatically. Her beaded locks of hair slapped harmlessly against her own copper cheeks and quivering lips. Aria in a moment of black humor muttered to herself, ""Hmm, such noise could be useful to replicate to cover the sounds of a prisoner interrogation...""<br/><br/>That thought dispersed when Acenith began to scream like a lassoed cat, gripping her own breasts with her nails digging in; her body convulsed and for a fleeting moment Aria feared she was having a seize - but no, just a wild, feral orgasm. Liquid flowed generously from her to Kass's tongue and lips and chin, and the girl doubled forward to clutch the bard's head for support. After a minute her legs were dangling more weakly over Kass's shoulders, near her naked body now seemed even more metallic a copper hue. A fine sheen of sweat caused it to glisten even in the modest light afforded by the slice of indirect sunlight from the stairs, and the single torch the blonde man had left in a wall-fixture.<br/><br/>Aria giggled, ""You made her cum quickly, Kass...""<br/><br/>Arsinoe's voice filtered down, ""just as well, we<em>had</em>attended Rana enough to know where to find the things we needed - and you are fortunate that we of the Dancing Lady tend to be vain enough to have portraits of ourselves made, if I may say so!""<br/><br/>She came down the stair landing into the room, with a brush in one hand still entangled with a number of hairs (Mulhorandi tended to be thick-haired, as Aria had been observing), and a short white cotton skirt like her own in the other. Sacmis had a rolled bit of parchment, which she unfurled partially to let Aria see a charcoal-pen likeness of Rana, recognizeable even to Aria from the impostor's guise. She explained, ""'Twas Heran - the man who came down before - who drew it actually,"" she giggled, ""He tried to impress her for awhile, when he first arrived.""<br/><br/>Arsinoe giggled, ""Tried?

Kass was better off saving her energy.  She'd analyze the area as much as she could though, making sure to get every last detail of her location...<br/><br/>She would watch until the spell ran it's course, and when it was done she would stand, stretch, and head on over to see if their prisoner was awake.  If the two servants were there, they would be told to inform someone that Rana was awake, and alive, her location unknown but it was outside in the sun, with her attached to a wicker structure that was quite tall, possibly not on the first floor of said structure.  Kass would, however, tell them<em>explicitly</em>for people to find the structure it was and<em>nothing more</em>; she didn't know if there were reinforcements or anything else about in the are.  Acenith, of course, would be helping in the interrogation... which may very well be starting soon...<br/><br/>This was pending, of course, that nothing else happened in the image at all...<br/><br/>That spell was Greater Plane Shift and Greater Teleport, right?  8 charges left, and one charge per, I assume?  Would actually make sense to teleport out to her... if we can of course.  Though honestly, I think she'd want to know if there was a trap waiting first... hence why she's not up and going that way now..."

She would furthermore recall from the unusually broad-based knowledge for her (or really, any) age, one use use or meaning of such constructions: a fairly obscure practice of some of the less gentle enclaves of druids in various places about Faerun, whereby such a thing would be built of available timber, sometimes with persons trapped inside it, and then set alight to create a great burning effigy of a man. Some sort of symbolism associated with the transience of living kings, deriving from certain ancient cultures were a given king might only be allowed to reign for one year before being 'given up to the gods'.<br/><br/>Rana herself had a delirious face, and her eyes seemed to wander; far from traumatized she seemed inappropriately fascinated even by the occasional insect which flew through the cage or crawled about its wicker bars; Kass again from her wide-ranging skills would get a healer's sense that she'd probably been drugged, perhaps with a hallucinogen. Occasionally sand would blow through the cage; these and the nonflying bugs both suggestions that she was probably not more than a dozen or two feet off the ground, and almost certainly in a desert with sand and insects similar to what Kass and Aria had seen off Rana's balcony (although no such effigy had been visible from said balcony).<br/><br/>After Kass seemed done with both her casting and viewing, Aria (whom the girls were not still downstairs with) informed her about the uses of the staff, adding, ""You cast arcane bard-magic or musi-magic or whatever it's called, yes? I suppose you'd be able to use it if inclined."" She was a bit unsettled by what Kass had learned, but chirped, ""At least she's alive and unmutilated!""

He mentioned that what he had overheard so far had, after a minute of his own thusly-influenced mental wanderings, reminded him of a coming-of-age desert trek he and several other youths had embarked on almost thirty years ago. From a distance they had seen a wooden figure such as that one, a single charred skeleton hanging with it, and not attended to or entrapping any living persons as far as they could tell. They had not hiked too close to such a thing, and the man now had some difficulty remembering just where it was, but was happy to look over a few local area maps in the library.<br/><br/>He spread out one centered on small Siwa, along the River of Shadows which, at the western edge of the map, broadened into a famously fertile river delta where the Mulhorandi capital Skuld lay upon the Alamber Sea, which off the map to the west was part of the great Sea of Fallen Stars, Faerun's largest inland sea.<br/><br/>To the east the desert grew sporadically more mountainous; the man tapped the nearest to Siwa, and said, ""Mount Goldflail; visible along the horizon from here, and in my mind's eye of that effigy, I remember seeing it on the horizon too, from a different angle, about, so..."" he traced a finger from Siwa to the mountain, which was shaped like a fat crescent moon with two spurs, and then at a different angle. ""The more I think, it is amazing what the so-near beauty, presence and scent of a young woman such as yourself does to fuel the nostrils and pump the blood of a man, stirring memories more vividly. Now I recall too the angle of the sun, it was almost setting, and I remember the time of year, which means the angle was..."" he drew two thin lines with the nearest charcoal-pen, ""If you went from here to the south spur of the mountain, you would then take that an angle to the right which makes a third of a circle; also a third of the way from a right angle to going straight ahead. I saw your friend in flight when I was outside, I am sure that from that side of the mountain you would see it from the air. Goldflail is a bit shy of ten miles from here, and the effigy was but a few miles southeast of it.""<br/><br/>""If you intend to trek there, the time spent hiring camels in town would make itself up several times over, I think.

Mount Goldflail as it were.  It was in the backdrop, meaning it was before the mountain itself, and as he worked it out the particular angle after a moment... and paid her a compliment to her beauty, so Kass rewarded him in kind with a big kiss upon his cheek, one of her hands teasingly trailing down his other one; she was a bit vain, and a Sunite, so complimenting her beauty made her feel a combination of proud and filled with zeal.  The man too it seemed, for he seemed to recall every last detail, working out his location on the map at the time in no time flat.  The fact that Aria could likely see it from where she was in the sky meant she could verify this, which made this even<em>better</em>!<br/><br/>""Why thank you sir; you've been an excellent help."" she purred, moving in close to the man, one hand moving up to the back of his head and pulling him close to her ""Here's a true kiss, from a young and beautiful Heartwarder of Sune no less!  May it get your blood truly pumping, that you may enjoy the company of other young and beautiful ladies today and many days after...""<br/><br/>Leaning in she kissed him, long and hard, even using her tongue to pass across his lips, her nose and chin being tickled by his beard.  When he undoubtedly started to reciprocate, she'd let out a low, sensual moan from deep within her throat, and when she finally was done kissing him, she'd break away slowly, licking her lips.  Taking the map, and saying her polite goodbye to the man and blessing him in the name of Sune and Sharess alike, Kass went to the fountain in the middle of the area with said map, to set out the rug and draw Aria's attention.  They would have to verify the map location with Aria's findings, if any, and as it was only ten miles she was definitely considering the use of camels, rather than a teleportation spell, though if things got heated (literally or figuratively, should the fire come alight more sooner than wished), perhaps their way back would be by teleportation instead of the aforementioned camels.  Regardless, unless Aria told her something drastically otherwise, the two of them would be heading tot he vicinity of Goldflail...<br/><br/>Hehe, you put Keela instead of Kass there in your last post dear ^_^"

After beginning a descent at a somewhat scary four times the speed of her ascent, she saw the laid-out agreed signal in the courtyard and continued.<br/><br/>Once she rejoined Kass, and had many full waterskins and even a water-conjuring wand foisted upon them by the girls, they got their first up-close glimpses of the town of Siwa, a sleepy and mostly agrarian community with drew its sustenance from the river, both directly from fishing and indirectly through agriculture for orchards such as they'd seen about the temple and what. Small herds of goats and sheep could be seen shepherded by young boys on the nearest hillsides, and gaining camels proved as simple as Kass had been told. Aria found herself rather annoyed by their bumpiness for much of the journey, and kept herself rather covered against the sun. ""I was always sensitive to hot weather,"" she explained to Kass as they crossed desert so open and flat it seemed almost like a white-beige sea, two-spurred mount Goldflail looming ahead and quite visible in the clear dry air, ""I am from one of the coldest corners of Faerun, as it happens, and I've long suspected my erinyes devil ancestor was from one of the frozen rather than fiery layers of the Nine Hells. It's actually rather fortuitous that my armor is affixed with a gem to ward oneself against environmental temperature extremes, to some degree.<br/><br/>Several miles outside Siwa they passed on one side a small but classically picturesque oasis, were no doubt some spring bubbled aboveground in defiance of the dead desert, surrounded by grateful grasses and palms and small birds. A few simple old hovels of white stone were clustered in an arc on one side of the oasis, their roofs collapsed, and any tenants fled along ago - poisoned or diseased water, some passing war or monstrous raid, who knew.<br/><br/>Closer to mount Goldflail they could see several old watchtowers on its peaks and spurs, abandoned as far as they could see, but once some strategic purpose in all likelihood.<br/><br/>As they came around the south spur of Goldflail it was visible ahead, rather starkly so with so few other terrain features about: a great wooden statue of a thin man, the ends of its upraised arms perhaps fofty feet above the flat sands. Around its feet wer littered debris which might've excited an archaeologist: old tools and broken weapons and many bones, including several charred skeletons - perhaps one was the very same that Semmon had seen almost thirty years ago.<br/><br/>Rana was much as Kass had scryed her, encaged and bound, painted and delirious, and now growing steadily more sunburned despite her native skin.<br/><br/><br/>With Kass and Aria still over a hundred paces away, the desert's solitude changed: lightning tore not down from the cloudless sky, but right out of the ground ahead in a nearly horizontal line. Aria reflexively leaped up, feet atop its hump for a split-second before vaulting clear of the camel with her cape spreading into wings. It tore through the camel, which (mercifully, perhaps) did not even have time to cry out. It exploded like a fast-heated corn kernel into horrible-smelling hunks of black fried flesh, painting the surrounding circle of desert black and red.<br/><br/>A swath of sand between the traveling girls and the wooden effigy they sought exploded into a brief grainy cloud. Gritty blue scales glinted in the sunlight as an elephant-sized dragon with a snout horn like a rhinocerous burst out of some hiding burrow it'd made.

The dragon's body seemed to step out of itself - now two of the huge wyrm stood side by side on the sand, one a mere desert mirage.

""I find I like your dancing so far,"" she smiled, ""And am sure I shall in softer circumstances."" She glanced at the bleeding-out dragon and smiled, ""That might've been teh single most frightening creature I've fought to date. I'm glad I'm with you.""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>I'm having so much fun too!<br/><br/>ZOMG! I totally forgot about the 'seeking' enhancement on Aria's bow earlier! It would bypass the miss chance from Displacement. =P Oh well, we'll pretend she rolled low on that 1st attack, and the 4th and 5th probably would've missed anyway...plus she was basically shooting into the sun, and I bet tieflings especially hate that.<br/><br/>Oh also, blink reduces your speed by 1/4th, so Kass's speed is 30', not 40', while blinking. I don't think that's made a qualitative difference so far though.<br/><br/>Also, I just now rolled a d100 for her 20% miss chance on her attack, but she made it.<br/><br/>Oh, also - I mentioned AoOs on the charge not b/c charges specifically provoke AoOs, but b/c the dragon has longer reach. Charges provoke AoOs in the same way as normal movement - when you leave a square threatened by a creature it can take an AoO, and for any enemy with a longer reach, you have to leave such squares to get to your own melee reach.<br/><br/>Going forward, since she can 'take 1', no need to mention it each time I guess (since there's no downside to a character doing it for every single square of movement, it's pointless to make the player 'recognized' such situations and declare it to avoid AoOs).<br/><br/>Although I'm not certain, I think that such tumbling doesn't prevent her from making a charge (since it doesn't 'slow movement'; the DC 15 half-speed movement would interfere). The swashbuckler Acrobatic Charge makes reference to the class feature allowing the character to make jump/tumble/etc. skill checks as part of a charge...but AFAICT there are some that anyone can anyway. (For example, the Leap Attack feat would be pointless if you couldn't long jump as part of a charge, and a full-speed tumble doesn't seem to interfere with the stated conditions for a charge.)<br/><br/>Inspire courage does add +3 to damage as well as attack, and it's multiplied on a crit, as are most other 'constant' modifier). Adding a total of 9 to Aria's bow crit, for example. (1d8+6 become 3d8+18).<br/><br/>Kass hits for 40 damage (no DR or energy resistances this time). Dragon makes its Fort save (was worth a try though, esp. as she has 9/day!)<br/><br/>Aria:<br/>use quicksilver boots to swift-action move 20' downward (into flanking with Kass), the usual DC 25 tumble to not provoke AoOs, then full attack<br/><br/>mods 39/34/29/24 (17 bab 10 dex 1+4 weapon 4 flanking 3 courage 2 blink -2 twfO<br/>blink rolls<br/>Result: 12, 5, 47, 61,<br/>attack/threat rolls<br/>Result: 20, 4, 1, 12,<br/>3 atk nat20 threat 33 non-crit dmg 16+56<br/>dragon at 340 lethal + 51 nonlethal damage, dying<br/><br/>Aria uses 2 lesser vigor wand charges on Kass (22 hp, fully healed)<br/><br/>Note on expended charges: 2 lesser vigor, 1 identify, and for dailies, 5/10 haste, 3/10 sniper's shot, 1/2 quicksilver, 1/5 lion's charge"

Kass just stepped to the side and let it fall, but letting it keep her blade for a moment... in it's chest point first of course.<br/><br/>And again... Kass found herself laughing, this time at the amazement of it all.  That... that had been perhaps the greatest battle she'd ever been in, and what a fun one it was!  Exhilarating, exciting... and sadly enough, all the physical activity got her blood going in other less violent ways after it was all over.  This, the licking she'd given earlier, the scene she'd watched before that, the show she'd put on for the wizards in Rapture... she was going to have to fuck<em>something</em>soon, lest she go insane from all the stimulation she was receiving.<br/><br/>Aria came over as Kass was withdrawing her sword from the beast, with but a moment's difficulty considering most of her strength came from momentum instead of brute force.  Healed of her admittedly minor wounds as she dismissed her blurring magics, Kass smiled at the woman, though what she was half-tempted to do was throw her down and... oh, that would have to be later!<br/><br/>""Thank you; I take great pride in my dancing dear."" she responded, to distract herself from the warmth in her loins ""And you shall... perhaps I'll give you a... special performance later... or perhaps one in front of everyone instead?  I do love an audience, after all.""<br/><br/>Twirling her blade around, she stepped over to the dragon's head, swaying her hips sensually as she effortlessly spun the blade, humming to herself as her blade continued to sing it's rallying song.<br/><br/>""And yes, 'twas a mighty beast... for a time.  Anything I can claim that I laughed and taunted in the face of, and lived to tell the tale, can't be<em>that</em>strong a creature."" Kass said, a smug sort of look upon her face ""That said, this particular breed of dragon is notoriously deceptive and deceitful, so if you don't mind.""<br/><br/>She gripped the blade, rose it up, and plunged it down, deep into the beast's skull, flame and sonic vibration being shot straight into it's brain, ruining anything and everything that might have been in there.<br/><br/>""...I prefer to make sure it's as dead as it can be without turning it to ash."" Kass finished ""Now, let's attend to Rana-oh, and those Rune's aren't magic in the slightest, no magic even around her from what I saw in my scrying-and get back.  Perhaps the priestess, when she's given chance to recover, will be... amicable and amiable towards us.  Wouldn't mind bending her over the balcony like that other man did... and again, if there's an audience... all the better!""<br/><br/>She also noted that dragons tended to have a hoard... and this one had even mentioned having one and adding their valuables to the collection... she idly wondered where it was...<br/><br/>Just because I can, and because Kass knows this thing is the sort to use trickery, deceit, and deception already, she's gonna Full Round Coup de Grace the dragon... I assume I don't need an attack roll, right?  Never actually got to do one of these things before...<br/><br/>Anyway, it's an autocrit so that's 2d8 + 10ENH + 16Fire + 16 Sonic + 4STR (since I didn't move 10' technically) + 6BM... so 2d8+52... and since I did this in class with a D&D Diceroller, it works out to 61 Damage overall...

""And if it includes bending samesaid priestess over before you, I shan't mind being part of that audience."" Her tail twitched under her skirt, and she smiled.<br/><br/>She glanced at the encaged priestess and said, ""I don't see any magic auras about the wooden effigy or the priestess either. Speaking of auras...""<br/><br/>She gazed over the dead dragon body for magical auras, and found two small and localized ones, each from the scales on the undersides of one of its two foreclaws. Marveling at the beast in general, she remarked, ""You have not only lived to tell the tale, and earned the right to; I suppose you could even sing about it, such as your talents, Kass. Since Rana, though ostensibly having gotten to witness your feats and battle and magic rescuring her just now, seems so out of it...perhaps if you end up taking her later, you could even sing of the rescue to her while you do. To accompany the moans I can't imagine she wouldn't be making while being fucked by one so gorgeous and gracious as yourself - especially to judge from Acenith's overwhelmed reactions to your oral talents.""<br/><br/>With her kukri she chiseled and carved under the scales at each of these two places, finding at the first a smooth polished cherry-sized opal of iridescent colors which was the source of one of the auras, and at the second, a small compass which also radiated magic. The dial spun in response to her moving it to pick it up and clean it of the gore. ""Huh,"" she said, ""To judge from the sun and the rough time of day, it doesn't seem to be settling on pointing straight north or south as you might expect.""<br/><br/>Thereafter she moved closer to the tall wooden effigy, starting up at the delirious Rana within. ""How shall we go about getting her out, do you think?"" Inspecting the thing, she said, ""No magic auras about it, as I mentioned, and I don't think I see the signs of any mechanical booby-traps.""<br/>"

I think I'll even be putting it in the same hole even!  I like giving it up the ass as much as I like taking it up the ass... just so you know, of course.  And yes, I may even sing of my triumphs, if I can sing over her moans of unadulterated bliss and ecstasy... and then I can sing of my conquests of both Acenith and the priestess Rana another day!""<br/><br/>That said and done, and Aria reaffirming what she'd seen already through her scrying, Kass waited as she pulled a number of assumed to be magical objects from beneath it's scales.  An opal, not of bad size despite it's magic, and a compass... though what does it point towards if not north?  Kass decided that she'd take herself a trophy after pulling out those magical items, and so going near the head wound she'd made, she began to pluck off the scales around it's eye sockets, just enough to make an interesting little bracelet or some such trinket to serve as a reminder, and proof, of what she'd accomplished today alongside Aria.  When that was done, she returned to Aria, and glancing up at Rana she thought over her options, deciding on what was perhaps the simplest one.<br/><br/>""Well, I would say that you fly up there and try and grab her.  If you drop her, I have a spell to keep her from falling to her death, and if that doesn't work I can always catch her if need be, though it might hurt."" Kass said, nodding to Aria to get it done ""After that, we can use the staff to teleport back to the center of the temple, since we're down both of our camels... unless you count the fleshy chunks now dotting the landscape as us having a 'camel'...""<br/><br/>If the armor wouldn't be a downgrade, I'd have her armor be made of dragonscales, though I think a small bracelet would suffice.  Perhaps even a pair of them, and if that opal is useful, could always have the dragonscales to hold it onto her wrist as a slotless object or something."

They briefly granted a sort of intuition about structural weak points of even such bloodless, organless creatures as the construct below her seemed to be.<br/><br/>She drew her bow and fired straight down at the top of the thing's faceless head at just such a point.

This weapon struck with a satisfying crack and a radiated web of fissures. Kass's sword had worked well too; perhaps it was piercing weapons which were ineffective. While seeing Kass resourcefully teleport herself out of the creature's gaps (and, bravely, inside of it, to rescue Rana she presumed), Aria hurled three more hammers, one blinking out at the needed moment, but the next shattering the rest of the creature's head, and the one after breaking a tantalizing rift between the shoulders.

The wood split down part of its length, and then a series of cracking sounds rippled from deeper within the body.<br/><br/>Gradually the torso began to fall apart, the now-dead weight of the arms tearing the shoulders apart, which in turn peeled and tore away bards of the torso cage.

It'd also burned away the binding ropes and much of the rune-paint, leaving the priestess almost stark naked now, albeit dirtier and with messy hair. Aria healed Kass as well, and looking about at the debris said, ""Still no magic auras...I hope the next time I have to fight a construct it's made of gold instead of wood!"" She retrieved her throwing hammers from the smoking wicker debris (their crystals were helpful in a rather unexpected way - giving her magic auras to see amidst it all), and peeked at the dragon's compass again, remarking, ""Huh, when I hold it level for a moment so the needle can settle, I think it points right at that mount Goldflail,"" she pointed. ""In any case I suppose the rescue was a success, if a far more dramatic one that I'd anticipated, and I'm certainly ready to depart this deserted place when you are! Teleport, or retrieve the camel, or elsewise?""<br/><br/><br/><br/>Despite the 'extra turn' it works either way (in fact it would default to Aria destroying it before Kass DDed out since Aria's initiative was first) - first round is Aria using blink, Kass attacking, wicker man attacking Kass; second round is Aria attacking, Kass DDing, wicker man doing nothing; third round is Aria attacking again and/or Kass DDing out. So it's not like Kass is giving up a round if she doesn't DD out (it just seems that way b/c I usually have Kass go before Aria regardless of initiative - buff and area-attack effects before physical attacks is usually the preferable order), just delaying back and forth with Aria.<br/><br/>But the DD out is much more cinematic!

Aria had a point; she<em>could</em>simply teleport them all, camel included, to the temple; she was quite familiar and had been there for well over an hour, she figured, which was plenty of time to have a good focus for their destination.  As she took off, and Kass continued at her slower pace with Rana hoisted over one shoulder, she also stopped to consider what the compass may be, and furthermore what it would be pointing at... quite a contemplation, for there were certainly a good many things behind the mountain.  There was also the statue to consider... quite a lot to balance as it was.<br/><br/>After a time of hauling Rana across the desert, she realized just how much fun such a thing wasn't.  She was a dancer, a swordswoman, an acrobat, a spellcaster, a social exemplar, and a fucking tiger in the bedroom... she was<em>not</em>used to carrying around such weights as another person for so long.  It was about the time she saw Aria coming back to the two of them that she changed her mind about their method home.  Stopping just short of her, she pulled the runestaff out of her pack, since she was the one of the two of them who was most capable of using such a device.  Smiling at Aria, she brought the entire group, camel included, close together.<br/><br/>""Change of plans; let's get her back as quick as possible."" Kass said, and though she was grinning she was also breathing a bit heavy, what having hauled a woman quite a bit of distance across the desert by this point ""To the temple courtyard we go!""<br/><br/>Muttering the appropriate arcane verbal components, and focusing her own energy into the magics of the runestaff, they would vanish from the face of the desert and, hopefully, reappear in the middle of the courtyard next to the fountain, like Kass was thinking of at the moment.<br/><br/>That leaves me with 1 more 5th level spell, I believe, and I checked and I could haul 6 Medium sized creatures, the camel being large and counting as 2, so I had an extra 2 to spare even"

Aria patted its snout again.<br/><br/>Two 'new' Sharessan priestesses, like several seen before cotton-skirted and topless save for ornate semi-covering necklaces, happened to be going along one of the arcades. They reacted with surprise but then a relief which indicated that'd heard about Rana, and rushed up eager to help, seeming impressed that the high priestess was in fact already healed. One inspected Rana's dilated pupils with a healer's eye and remarked, ""A mind-sapping drug, but nothing days of rest of a restorative spell can't help with...""<br/><br/>She and the other priestess each cast once; Kass would recognize the spell colloquially known as 'Lesser Restoration'. When one explained what thy were doing, Aria remarked, ""Aha, I've a wand of similar effect...""<br/><br/>One waved her hand, ""Truly appreciated, but to save your wand-magic,  think we can likely scare up another priestess or two with the spell prepared - 'tis one of the more often sought-after by townsfolk who come for healing - whom we'll send along to the room.""<br/><br/>She departed to do just that, while the other mentioned that the impostor was safely unconscious last she heard, offered to escort the camel to the temple stable. Aria helped Kass lead Rana to her room; the high priestess plopped down on the bed. Staring at the bare stone ceiling, she murmured vapidly, ""So cool...so refreshing...""<br/><br/>Aria poured from a nearby water decanter into a clay cup to offer the priestess, and timidly asked, ""Do you remember anything...""<br/><br/>"" 'bout what?"" the priestess asked, still not terribly self-aware.<br/><br/>""Being captured.""<br/><br/>""Hmmm.."" she thought for a moment, ""Out at pedestal...where fake statue now....looking for any marks or dropped things of thieves....just remember rushes of air, pricing sensations, mind-magic.

The balcony faced south, but by looking west she could see some of the distant Dragonsword Mountains, far beyond the lone peak of Goldflail.

Kass wasn't sure about yet, so they'd have to wait and talk to Rana when she was better, likely tomorrow, and before that thoroughly interrogate the prisoner, perhaps later this afternoon or evening.<br/><br/>Naturally, as Aria checked the compass and came to the conclusion that it was pointing towards the mountain Goldflail, it gave the two of them the time to go and check out where this particular trinket was pointing to.  Might as well find something to do, because Rana and the prisoner likely held the keys to this particular mystery in their heads, since if she was captured as she was they likely eliminated any remaining evidence as well, if they were thorough.  So, it was either look for the source of this compass' pointing, or have lots and lots of sex with random women until something else to do came along, because Kass<em>still</em>hadn't gotten off properly yet!<br/><br/>""Alright Aria, let's find someone who can identify whatever magical devices we've yet to have done, that compass included, and then I say we get some more camels and head towards the mountain; I'm saving the staff for major emergencies, and the runestaff for a minor emergency, such as needing to get back here<em>quickly</em>.""

""On second thought, I'll get a camel for myself...hate too but too much burden on one and I'm sure I'd get tired of flying...""<br/><br/>Once they thought they had an accurate sense of their well-earned items of magic, saw Rana was in good hands with the other priestesses, and set out, the desert proved even more blinding-bright and hotter. Camels, as before, took about two hours to trek the ten miles to Mount Goldflail, whence it was now roughly noontime. Aria kept her skin nearly unseen from the sun, wearing a hood; she'd never liked hot weather, even though the same bit of tiefling heritage that had helped against the wicker effigy's intense heat helped stave off sunburn.<br/><br/>Aria helped herself to as much water as she pleased, and periodically flew high above Kass to enjoy the windier air and to 'lookout' in a similar manner to a sailor in a crow's nest. (Her unridden camel tended to follow the other, with a typical herd mentality.) The rolling sands even seemed much like the sea to her, and she remarked several times to Kass just now<em>open</em>the terrain felt.<br/><br/>More frequent pale white rocks jutted up through the sand as they approached the more western slope of the fat-crescent-shaped Mount Goldflail - and still the compass seemed to point there. In fact, the compass needle seemed to vibrate almost as if in agitation, unless it was tilted up at a certain angle, and was allowed to point near the single peak of the mountain. Yet even this mountain, in turn, seemed like just one more upthrust rock when compared to the hazy-distant Dragonsword mountains lining the eastern horizon.<br/><br/>The land sloped, shifting from open sand to mountain rather suddenly - for rather than being a 'bulge' in the rolling landscapep as many mountains in forested lands were, this one, and the distant range, seemed more like gigantic rocks which sand had almost buried. Again Aria thought of the shining sands like a sea, and the mountains like islands.<br/><br/>When their eyes took in the old watchtowers atop the mountain spurs and followed the nearest one down, a few old worn tracks which just might've been deliberate trails at one point could be seen.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(Up to you whether we get more camels or stay with one.)<br/><br/>Identifying stuff can be a PITA.

Kass has a mod of 23 and so would have 33 taking 10, which is up to 8th level spells; I don't think anything so far involves 9th level spells to craft, and I was about to say anyway that we're entitled to a level up by now; up to you whether we do that now or wait until an actual rest.

Each of the two spurs had its own watchtower-capped crest, lower than that of the central peak. Their trail, which the treeless mountainside gave them a clear view of well ahead, seemed to be leading up over the western spur's crest and past that tower before it would snake up to the peak tower. The compass seemed to point, not quite to the mountain peak, but near it. Fortunately the summit was a modest one, only maybe a third of a mile above the desert floor; Aria's own vertical ascent above the temple had taken her five or six times higher.<br/><br/>The sun had reached its zenith, casting the landscape in a shadowless blinding white. The peak ahead obscured a slice of their vision of the desert to the east beyond and the Dragonsword range, but from the visible range to the right came a flicker of - no, not a shadow per se: for but a split second, a vertical line of smoky yet fiery-bright, some some of plume or trail. It was so fast the eye could barely discern that it seemed to slice from the zenith of the sky above to reach the mountain peaks, like the path of a lightning bolt but far straighter.<br/><br/>It ended at one of the highest of the many Dragonsword peaks. Then something else began.<br/><br/>Cracks appeared in the stone slopes of those far mountains; boulders burst, and rolled down in avalanches. A split-second later the vast tracks of sand before the mountains kicked up in ripples - almost like ocean waves. Aria had noticed one palm-ringed oasis pond in that desert to their east, much like the one they'd crossed on the way to Goldflail, with some camels and presumably-nomad-occupied white tents encamped about it: the oasis palms' heads burst and their trunks fell, the camels were knocked off their hooves and fell misshapen and dead as if smacked by invisible giants' greatclubs, and the tents were plowed flat (along with whomever and whatever had been within, presumably).<br/><br/>The spreading sand wave made spread in in successively wider rings from its origin, running north and south as well as west (and perhaps, out of sight east over the Dragonswords, across the unseen Plains of Purple Dust.)<br/><br/>The east spur tower of Goldflail shattered and fell, tumbling down the spur slopes along with loosened rocks. Goldflail's central tower fell, and then that of the west spur.<br/><br/>All this had been a fraction of a second; the speed of sound or faster. Aria's shriek was lost in the thundering shockwave which rippled through the air, sending her flying and skidding several feet across the stone slope with sudden bruising all across her fair skin. Nostrils and ears bleeding, she watched in horror as the camels went off their hooves and slammed back into the ground, bodies crunching until they were misshapen hairy sacks like those in the oasis miles before. The shockwave reminded Aria of the spell she'd seen Kass blast the demons with, and at the moment it'd passed over her, she could swear the sonic wave had been a sound like a distant, masculine, and totally dispassionate voice uttering,<strong>""LO""</strong>.<br/><br/>Her ears and mind rung terribly, but Kass would still notice first, by hearing, a different sort of thundering sound from above on the slope: the shattered stones of the nearest watchtower, and other unworked stone now loosened and tumbling down the mountainside. The entire mountain was like some object which had been shaken vigorously to clear away loose debris, and that which rolled down the slopes struck and loosened other stones which the initial soundwave had not budged.<br/><br/>Within seconds an avalanche was sheeting down a slice of the western spur, a rocky tide which at its current pace would reach Kass and Aria in perhaps a minute and a half, and the slice of mountainside to may two score paces to either side of them.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sounds good. Aria will keep the headband of intellect (mostly b/c of Insightful Strike, a class feature for adding Int to damage with finesseable weapons.)

Her hazel eyes widened, but guesstimated how long the self-amplifying cascade of rocks would take to reach them. She glanced with an inward pang at the battered camels, and drew her wand even as she took flight to hover just over them. The tiefling healed each camel with two wand-bursts apiece and swatted their rears with the wand itself, to startle them out of unconscious and into fleeing, while she shouted, ""Go! Go!""<br/><br/>They seemed frightened, probably from both the recent pain and the presently growling rumbling, regaining their footing to flee but too dumb to realize they ought take sideways directions rather than run up into the avalanche or downward but inevitably too slow to outrun it. Aria let herself land atop the camel which she'd healed first, and began to steer it, grateful for the herd mentality which then 'convinced' the other to follow it.<br/><br/>They fled laterally, in the direction Kass had gone, eventually reaching the same up-jutting outcrop which seemed as safe a place from the avalanche as any. A few score seconds later, the rocks were rushing downhill behind them, like a stream. Once safely positioned, Aria healed the camels, and then Kass and herself.<br/><br/>After a few minutes of deafening noise, the activity finally subsided, but the slope was slightly changed in shape from what it'd been. The mountain had a subtly but perceptibly different shape. All across its west-facing slopes, several inches of even the solid rock surfaces had been ground away by the shockwave, like millenia of wind erosion all in moments, and of course the loose rocks and boulders had mostly been tossed far down the slopes in the avalanche and others like it elsewhere around the mountain. Given the slow rate of erosion and plate-growth in such a dry sparse climate, the changes wrought by the shockwave would likely remain for eons.<br/><br/>""I don't think I'm very good at keeping camels alive,"" Aria tried to lighten the mood, and then looked up at the mountain, holding the compass. ""Well, it at least is pointing where it was before, although it'll be slightly slower going with the trail half-buried and loose stones here and there.""<br/><br/>Near the mountain's peak, and in fact almost directly in the line where the compass pointed, Kass would notice a distant figure - and yet not as small as she should have been at this distance, and perhaps the only reason she was visible at all.<br/><br/>The figure, female but muscular, wore a white cloth skirt even simpler of cut and design than the Sharran priestesses, matched by a top which was simply a white cloth band running around her shoulderblades and armpits to gird her bosom. She wore a few random bangles upon skin that was a bluish metallic gold color, and many beads in bluish-black hair. Most distinctly, perhaps, apart from her overlarge dimensions, were that the woman sported a pair of reptilian or draconic blue wings, which she held high above her shoulders, seemingly to shield her east-facing view from the sun.<br/><br/>She surveyed the landscape to the east, perhaps taking stock of the devastating event a minute before, seeming stoic and physically injured, curious and in awe but far from any emotional panic.<br/><br/><br/><br/>4 rounds of healing the camels (2x11 hp each), leads up in same direction as Kass (at 70' / round; 3 rounds to get clear), then heals each camel once more (for 3x11 total, just up to full) and herself and Kass (3 charges each; back to self being 1 below full and Kass 2 below). Aria's used 26/50 wand charges.<br/>"

Kass said softly, gesturing with her head up at the woman ""She's at our destination... maybe even the one carrying the match to this one... I can teleport us up with my own shorter range one, now that we know where we're going.  Something tells me if we go up there she won't be too happy to see us... what do you suggest as one of the Lady of Strategy's own?""<br/><br/>Until then, she's simply keep an eye on her and see what she did...<br/><br/>I really want to know what that was... I'm with Kass though, as such a spell would be truly deity levels, or possibly upper epic even.  Any chance you'll tell me what it was?  Or am I going to have to wait and find it out IC?"
34821,Starfall,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=93796.0,"16-01-2011, 21:21:16",ff,"Aria nodded agreeably, ""Actually I think teleporting up is a rather brilliant suggestion; we'd almost certainly lose the element of surprise otherwise, and she has the high ground and might know the terrain better or even have some hiding place or defenses to run too...you could even pick our arrival point just uphill from her - which'd also make her less likely to notice the camels in teh distance while talking to us, if we don't bring them along.""<br/><br/>Kass's broad knowledge would once again remind her that, if the woman were some sort of giant, giants often loved to hurl large rocks at foes - and there was no terrain more suitable for just that then standing above one's targets on a rocky mountain slope, playing a veritable game of ninepins as they slowly charged uphill. In fact it was much of why some giant races loved hanging out on mountains to begin with.<br/><br/>The bardess could eye that from their present distance it would take three dimension-door hops if she chose that spell rather than a single teleport. ""I agree she doesn't look especially friendly, but I suppose we ought try to parlay rather than on the off-chance slay some gentle giant. Plus even if she is hostile she might say something useful. Though I'd let you do the talking...you certainly had a way earning favors and loosening that elder priest's tongue at the temple.""<br/><br/>She glanced at the camels, ""And what of our cheating-death four legged friends? We could teleport them up, as you seemed to have the casting skill to do so, or leave them here - either free-roaming, tied up, or hmm, as a compromise between the risk of them wandering them off and being lost to us or hurting themselves, and the risk of them being helpless against some predator or new landslide or simply starving if we can't get back to them, I<em>might</em>be able to work up a special knot so they won't be able to get way so easily, but could with enough time of tugging, so they wouldn't be likely to be stuck and starve if we can't make it back. I got the impression from the one which fled from the dragon and then began wandering that they by training or instinct would eventually return to Siwa, like dogs.""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Minor mistake in last post: I forgot that the lesser vigor hp aren't instantaneous, but rather 1 hp per round (this is what makes lesser vigor not strictly better than cure light wounds: it heals 2x the HP on the average at CL 1st, sine 1d8+1 averages to 5.5, but it's slower, which is a liability in rush situations.) Fortunately, AFAICT multiple castings aren't redundant (it doesn't grant fast healing or regenerating 1, it heals 1 per round for X rounds). If Aria alternated on the camels casting it 3x each, they'd heal 1+1+2+2+3+3 and after 7 rounds both be conscious (2nd one at 12 healing and 1 hp, 1st one at4 hp).<br/><br/>Also the terrain speed should be 1/2 (3/4ths for mountainous on trail, 1/2 off) but again, enough time. Glad Kass made that listen check.<br/><br/><br/>I got the impression from Spellcraft that only non-instantaneous spells could be identified from their effects (""Identify a spell that’s already in place and in effect"") but since you're so curious, I don't mind sharing:<br/><br/>IMO such a thing probably should be sequestered in deity-level or epic magic, but it is in fact a 9th level spell from Book of Vile Darkness. Its range far outstrips that of most analogously themed spells such as Storm of Vengeance (also 9th) and certain epic spells, and I suppose is supposedly counterbalanced by having relatively modest damage for a 9th level spell (10d6 - although with no save) and extreme 'backlash' against its caster (although with Con 19+ the caster is guaranteed to survive, and a few Restoration spells by an ally would make it all up.) It also has a long casting time. It's the sort of thing that wouldn't be useful to PCs in most typical DnD situations, but could potentially be used to destroy the campaign world if so inclined. Most people and animals in the world are very low level / HD and would be killed right out and/or suddenly find themselves in collapsed or burning buildings. You could kill 99% of any city with the spell, basically. It's a nuclear bomb for DnD. (It'll become evident later why this hasn't already happened and doesn't upend or contradict the Forgotten Realms canon at large.)<br/><br/>I thought of the campaign premise before I knew of the specific spell, and then went looking for one which seemed to have suitable parameters (I like to try to find sources for stuff rather than using DM fiat with possible, esp. with something so uber.)<br/><br/>btw Corrupt isn't a domain, it's a BoVD thing (it means the spell can be prepared by any prepared spellcaster, and generally has some sort of backlash.)<br/><br/>The spell is also a little badly written in that it doesn't specify burst/line/spread/etc. I tried it as a burst like Fireball or Cacophonic Burst. (But IIRC a burst spell which destroys a barrier can still affect things which had total cover from the barrier). Normal stone has 15 hp per inch so 10d6 damage would basically destroy 2-3 inches of the facing surface of a rock wall, mountain side, etc.<br/><br/>Also I don't really like that it has no save, but I suppose 10d6 flat is no more uber than 20d6 with some save for half (except for people with Mettle or Evasion.)

They could now see that the otherwise-golden giantess had bluish scales across parts of her body, including most of her back and the outsides of her arms, and her wings - in fact it starkly resembled the blue dragon they'd fought. At her waist, the white cotton skirt was overlaid with saddlebag-like pouches hanging from her hips, which bulged and looked terribly heavy, yet a weight she didn't seem to notice; probably the throwing-rocks Kass had suspected.<br/><br/>Her bluish hair flapped freely over bare hills of shoulder muscle, strong arms crossed over a chest which heaved as it breathed. She stood perhaps twenty feet high, and if shrunk down to humanoid dimensions would've been more muscular than most human or orcish males, but the comparative shape of her hips, breasts and faces retained some feminine character.<br/><br/>From their new vantage Kass and Aria could see that a few hundred feet lateral to the giantess was a place of worked stone: a slice of mountainside had been carved away to form a recess with a flat floor and straight walls. At the back wall, an archway wide and high enough for an elephant led into the mountain, flanked by four statues of commensurate dimensions and a distinctly Mulhorandi artistic style: all were human-like, save that only one had a human face; the other had the heads of a jackal, an ibis, and a crocodile.<br/><br/>When Kass and Aria were eight feet uphill from the giantess, she turned to appraise them. Clawed fingernails tapped against the opposing biceps, and her mouth flashed with fangs as she spoke in a deeply reverberating voice.<br/><br/>""Who are - how did you - !? Nevermind - if you're here you've surely just borne witness to...all this,"" she gestured sweepingly at the sonically scoured landscape on and around the mountainside, ""...and are thus the perfect messengers for our purposes, especially if your unexpected presence above suggests you command some wind-riding or teleportive magic.<br/><br/>""As to the message: hie you to the Cormyrean royal court in Suzail and and tell the Crown this: a ransom of two million gold is demanded. The details of payment to be made known to them shortly and separately. If the then-given deadline be not honored, the fair city of Arabel shall be wiped form the map in example like to that which you have just witnessed. Thereafter the same ransom and threat made anew against Suzail itself. And if the Forest Kingdom chooses still to sign its capital city's death-warrant, well...eventually such examples shall properly motivate some wealthy-enough nation or city-state; Neverwinter, Silverymoon, Waterdeep itself perhaps. We now have the means to make good on such promises enough times over.""<br/><br/>""Ah, but where are my manners - what cities perchance are each of you two from?""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>The area is extremely sparsely populated - like the parts of ancient Egypt away from the Nile Delta / the sahara - and includes none of the canon cities on FR maps (some of which are only a few hundred people). Mulhorand has several ruined cities and empty desert areas and almost all the population is along the coast and river deltas. The coast runs roughly parallel to the Dragonsword range, about 200 to 240 miles apart.<br/><br/>If you need another 5th level spell, spontaneous casters can always use higher-level spell slots.

She struggled internally as Kass flew above the newly spiky ground and around her.<br/><br/>Aria, impressed from a distance, clicked her heels together and leaped from the ground, cape-wings spreading. Her bird-shaped shadow followed underneath her as she beelined for the giantess, who was moving again and starting to turn to face Kass again just as Aria drew a kukri and closed. The giantess hissed something quick as Kass's feather-fall magic, and her body seemed to leap out from itself in all directions -<em>six</em>blue-winged giantesses all stood under the sun.<br/><br/>Aria landed like an arrow in what she thought was the original,  stabbing between the huge ribs under the armpit, but the body simply popped out of existence. Aria hissed, spinning around amidst the images with her wings twisting gamily, slicing at the oversized ribs and throats of the dancing giantesses. Several more popped out before she found the right one, slicing deep between ribs just under a breast to earn a very real sheeting of static-crackling red blood down over the white cloth top. Like a clawed cat playing with string she kept slicing, and started kicking as well, winking out other images. Once only one giantess was left she flapped up a wingbeat and planted a bootheel square in the throat beneath that face as big as her chest. The giantess gagged, clutched her throat, and staggered on her feet, causing the ground underneath to vibrate slightly.<br/><br/><br/><br/>She can have the runestaff still out - I forget whether you typically write what Kass puts back or not, but going forward I would say use one or the other convention and let me know which (default = last thing used unless stated putting way or default = empty handed unless mentioned otherwise...more for verisimilitude than anything - NPCs who might react differently depending on what they are holding, etc.). But even then it's an easy thing to forget and I'm forgiving.<br/><br/>For Aria I've usually not been describing her putting stuff back, but she does (didn't really occur to me just now that I either should each time or say in general) - in general, assume Aria puts everything back whenever she's not in an initiative sequence (i.e. after an encounter, after healing the camels, etc.) even though I usually don't write it. (I've tended to forget about it b/c for her it's almost always preferable.) You can use either convention for Kass.<br/><br/>Also, my last post probably wasn't clear about initiative: The giantess's spell was a surprise round (like the impostor's concealed castings of dominate person) - it's just a coincidence that she beat Aria's initiative (in other words she she'll get another turn before Aria's first). (And as I've mentioned a few times, characters can't auto-go-first just by saying so / posting it first - you see people argue about this in PBP - it's specific to things which by nature are undetectable except through the effects which occur when the action completes).<br/><br/>Rolling initiative for Kass: 7 + 16r, 23, and she wins the tie vs the giantess, so she goes first anyway<br/><br/>(btw it's nice that Kass has the Concentration and Tumble to prevent most AoOs - they can be a bit slowing or confusing in PBP - I'm in another campaign where the DM never makes maps and doesn't describe turns as accurately, and it's a mess)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Giantess</span><br/>fails Will save, held!

For example Kass's 2nd and 3rd attacks would've hit b/c the first one hit, likewise some of Aria's earlier iteratives.  Let me know what you think.<br/><br/>Aria with 55 dmg total; 5x11 wand casts on self (back to 1 down) and 2 on Kass for 2x11 (now healed; she was 2 down before and took 20 fire.)

They were also far larger than a statue a priestess might've gotten her mouth around the appropriate anatomy of, and none of these possessed such details in any case; and even the man-headed statue did not resemble the semblance of Adon which Kass would remember from a certain vividly illustrated text in her past ecclesiastical readings. And, it seemed, none of these were magical. They hadn't been damaged by the recent blast, shielded by virtue of being carved out of a deep recess, but did look quite naturally weathered indeed; each of the four statues had at least one chunk or limb missing.  The place had the look of some old sacred site of tomb, which Mulhorand had more than a few of, most famously its pyramidic tombs for past kings said to've been living incarnations of a god. Atop a stone mountain wasn't likely to've been a dwelling for much population due to the lack of fertile soil even by desert standards, and it didn't look to be a military or strategic outpost like the now-crumbled watchtowers,<br/><br/>Aria found both of the giantess's things of magic to be extradimensional holders: a quiver-like thing she'd drawn the ridiculous spear out of of, and a shapless bag of holding filled in turn with nonmagical jewelry and intimidating throwing rocks. She soon joined Kass near the tomb entrance. From an angle before it, they could see the archway led down a diagonal stair deeper into the mountain; Aria took aloft briefly, to gain a better sightline, and she said, ""the stairway goes down quite straight a few dozen feet, and then levels out into some chamber. Can't really see anything of it but a bit of floor. Nice paintings on the stair walls itself though,"" she remarked. They were of the old Mulhorandi style; shown with two-dimensional perspective, and appeared to shwo cloth-skirted servants bearing down coffers and jars and biers downward.<br/><br/>The dimensions were grand, but if the giantess had used this place she would've had to go up and down it doubled-over, or with both hands and feet against the stairs like a human upon a diagonally leaning ladder.<br/><br/><br/>Hmm, it does seem silly the priestesses never described the statue...well the fact that girls sucked it off suggests it was man-sized and these are several times larger....I guess assume Kass has an idea of what Adon looked like from some illustrated text (i.e. a high K history or religion roll.)<br/><br/>What I figured before (of the fluff to justify what I thought were the mechanics) was that the images were constantly dancing through each other (as per general ""implied simultaneity"" that people are acting during each other's actions rather than literally standing still) and even if you follow one with your eyes, it frequently passes through others...but the other interpretation still makes more sense (sometimes you can whack 'em several times before they manage to reshuffle, sometimes not, depending on iteratives and turn order and such). And more importantly it's probably how it's supposed to work, and it's probably more balanced (MI always felt strong to me, esp. this immediate action version; and no wonder). If it comes up again I'll use the other, probably-correct way (caster has to move to reshuffle them); doesn't really break IC consistency (is as if the giantess took 5' steps after the previous hits). Incidentally if Kass's 2nd and 3rd attacks had hit the dmg would've dropped her, I think.<br/><br/>I'm gonna up the XP for the giantess since she was effectively casting a much more uber version of the spell (or for verisimilitude I'll assume she had some unique ability to make extra 5'-step-like micromoves each round)."

I've drawn on the Weave (that's how spells are powered, right?) quite a bit today; I can only do so much, but I'm not running out just yet.  I doubt that woman set off that spell that devastated the land earlier, which means someone is out there, and this seems too much of a coincidence that the spell like that just<em>happened</em>to be set off here a fair day after the statue was taken, which means they probably have the statue still too, whomever it is we're dealing with..."" she said, her expression serious ""...check the compass and tell me where it goes, then we can work out whether we head back and interrogate the only living person who knows this group and talk to Rana, if she's up to it, or if we need to follow the compass down into this thing, though I'm not sure if it's leading to anything that can help us...""<br/><br/>I'm wiped out of all my 5s, have 2 fours left I think, used one 1 and two 0s and have 4 2s left...

""Huh, it's pointing down into this ruin or tomb,"" she showed Kass - actually it was pointing at a slightly shallow angle, downward but into the ceiling of the stairwell : if the chamber they could see at the base of the stairs continued horizontally, it would intersect the direction of the compass needle in a hundred feet or so.<br/><br/>Gazing back over the landscaep to the east and the rippling pattern the shockwave had created over miles of sand, Kass and Aria could geometrically discern that the origin of the blast had probably been somewhere along the range of tall windswpet peaks of the Dragonsword range, several leagues to the east.<br/><br/>Aria twisted her lip, ""Hmm, I say we keep following the needle...I mean, we've just traveled a dozen sweaty miles following the compass needle, why turn back now. We got from the dragon, and we've just fought what seemed to've been his daughter nearby.""<br/><br/><br/>Sounds right on the spell slots. And two 3rd (Blink and Scrying) I think.<br/><br/>Yep, the Weave powers all arcane magic (there's also the Shadow Weave which a small percentage use instead - mostly Sharrans). Its steward/personification is Mystra, goddess of magic.<br/><br/>Hideous Laughter and Blindness/Deafness are pretty good low-level alternate to Hold Monster for tactical purposes. Both make a foe pretty much helpless (and one targets Will, the other Fort, for second-guessing foes' weak saves).<br/>"

As they descended, she held her wrist sideways so that they could see the needle's downward angle accurately; it got shallower and, once they reached the base of the stairs, was horizontal. Triangulating this information with that above, it had to be pointing a few hundred feet ahead.<br/><br/>Their present chamber had a strong ozone smell which matched that of the blue dragon, but otherwise it seemed rather dry and, 'clean' in the lack of anything gory or slimy, but quite cluttered. The chamber floor was littered with old bones and pottery shards. Upon the walls, ran more of the Mulhorandi art with its two-dimensional perspective. The room had no furniture save for slabs of smashed-down stone tables and shelves; all crammed against corners, as if the room had been cleared to make more open space - perhaps by the dragon, making room for himself in a place probably built by humans.<br/><br/>For humans the wall art showed: lines of simply-garbed men, and hovering above them,winged and hawk-headed masters who drove the men along with flails.<br/><br/>The back of the line of men seemed to be stepping out of or down from some circular or spherical (the flat perspective always made it hard to judge) place, and at the front they seemed to be being driven towards another. Both circles were mostly blue with some green: and Kass and Aria would both recognize the shape of the green in the latter one - geography; the coastal contours of the three narrowly continuous continents of Faerun in the northwest, Zakhara in the southwest and Kara-Tur in the east.<br/><br/>The origin circle of the line of men had a great green blob of a different yet similar shape within the circle of blue: again, three barely contiguous thick arms of green; the rightmost the largest by far, the lower-left a fat crescent and the upper-left smallest and with its own several jagged peninsulas.<br/><br/>Aria was studying the elaborate old Mulhorandi lettering usually known as hieroglyphics which ran above and below the art. She mentioned, ""One of the spells I had rendered permanent lets me understand most languages; I don't understand how it works, really, like an intuition just there in my mind, a silent voice or a knowing. This is, it proclaims a tomb of the Imaskar Empire, for some wizard of station. He brought to this world from another primitive tribes of people referred to as Mulhorandi and the Untheric,"" Kass would recognize Unther as a neighboring 'Old Empire' of Mulhorand, ""...for use as laborers, that the - pharaoh? emperor? - of his tomb might have the manpower to build the greatest works yet seen.""<br/><br/>She looked around and continued reading, ""The things of this room were to be of use to the wizard in his afterlife. Well, whatever was here before it was looted or smashed...""<br/><br/>Only one stone table seemed unsmashed, midway along the right wall, a great map was stretched out on its, each corner held down by a tome, with more paper and tomes about the slab. Directly opposite, along the left wall, were a set of empty shackles mounted in the wall and visibly much more recent than the ruin itself; a few decades at most. The shackles were empty but the bones near them also looked to be the most recent.<br/><br/>Aria took a few steps forward; the far wall of the chamber came within her darkvision range, and the wide archway leading to the next chamber. The floor was relatively clear in the archway, and in the visible slice of the next chamber, littered with something else: a thin but gradually upward-sloping pile of coins and gems.<br/><br/>""Treasure!"" Aria whispered excitedly. ""In the truest sense of it!"" She crept forward cautiously with much attention to the ground under her own feet, but the next chamber seemed to be of roughly the same dimensions of the first but of far different character: a rather flat but sprawling pile of precious metals and stones,ancient and modern coinage alike and worked gems and jewelry of many levels of workmanship. Sapphires there were in especial abundance; blue gems that Kass would recall blue dragons of supposedly being fondest of all.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Stairway is 45' down (and at a 45 angle) and 15' wide; the chamber is 45' wide and 70' deep, the far archway is 15' wide and 5' deep before the second chamber.<br/><br/>oh, I forgot to mention, on Aria's tie-up of the camels, used DC 15 for ""Tie a special knot, such as one that slips, slides slowly, or loosens with a tug"" with her taking 10 w/ a mod of 10 for 20.<br/><br/>The sunrods is fine (and Aria has a few anyway). A PC of this level could buy a copy of everything in the Goods and Services SRD for a few thousand.<br/><br/>lol. in another campaign the DM just kicked the party's asses by using enemies with 120' darkvision vs 60' or none for the party (although I think that DM has been doing a lot of other negligent things, like totally forgetting our listen/spot checks and giving the enemies ambushes every time, and never telling us much about the spatial layout so that we can't chase down the enemy spellcasters effectively).<br/>I wouldn't worry - with something like Dimension Door or Teleport, you're almost always only one standard action away from a safe escape. And if you're facing foes outside your sunrod range, you can always toss a sunrod in their direction to potentially illuminate them. Invisibility, Fly, and Blink all make good fleeing spells too (blink, aside from the 50% miss chance, lets you try to walk through walls).<br/><br/>Most monsters with darkvision only have 60' range. The erinyes devils are a rare exception: devils have 'See In Darkness' and can see perfectly through darkess (inc. magical darkness) w/ no range limit. On top of that, erinyes devils have continuous True Seeing, which is the only reason invisible Aria couldn't get away. They're archers by default, which combines rather effectively with their vision abilities and wings. (Part of why I chose one as Aria's ancestor was their high Dex; the other was just that they're the most human-looking, and she and her patron diety are Lawful so I chose a devil rather than a demon.)<br/><br/>Oh, and the spell slots reminds me: another epic feat idea is Improved Spell Capacity, to get two 7th level spell slots - one from the feat directly, the other from the high Cha. The feat can be taken again for 8th, 9th, etc. level spell slots. Useable either for 1st-6th level spells, possibly metamagicked, or with runestaves of higher-level sorcerer/wizard spells.<br/>"

It was in some old language but from the contours of coast, rivers, and mountains it was evidently the Mulhorandi region. A circle had been traced with the pen and protractor, showing the same area Kass and Aria had seen with their own eyes encompassed by the soundwave.<br/><br/>The tomes were old but not ancient, certainly not like the tomb itself, in Draconic or Common; one of the latter and most contemporary-looking a survey of lore, tales (some probably tall) and rumors on relics and artifacts all around the Moonsea region; a page marked with a folded corner even spoke of the statue of Adon (showing the book to be at most a few decades old).<br/><br/>Aria was advancing slowly into the next room, inspecting her surroundings as she went. The second chamber had about the same horizontal dimensions, but its higher ceiling gave it a grander feel. Near the rear of the chamber, behind the impressive 'bed' of the dragon's hoard (in which the tiefling informed Kass she sensed some magical auras) was an oblong plinth and a shattered-apart sarcophagus; it seemed indeed as Kass surmised that all the original treasures had been plundered, probably many generations before Kass and Aria had even been born...but the dragon treasure would certainly make up for that!<br/><br/>Even the back wall itself and rear sections of floor seemed sundered and cracked, with unworked stone behind. The dragon appeared to've even filled in some floor-cracks with cheaper coinage.<br/><br/>Aria followed the compass towards a point near the hoard's left edge, and then exclaimed, ""I think I've found the other compass - I see it just sitting on the treasure...""<br/><br/>The center of the treasure pile, near its highest point, erupted suddenly in a short-lived geyser of coins and sandy soil. A long shaft of bronze had thrust up through it - a shaft which curled, suddenly. It was tree-thick and segmented and moved flexibly, and the end was like a great snake head. The fangs and eyes danced with electric-blue sparks; a construct creature, and it seemed to silently hiss and prepare to strike at Aria.<br/><br/>For a large construct, it was surprisingly swift; far more so than the wicker man. It struck out as eyeblink-fast as the organic snakes the thing had clearly been constructed in likeness of; Aria screamed as it chomped down around her body, and coils of electricity twisted around its fangs and into her. The creature kept tis firm bite, crunching down even harder, until Aria hissed the command word for her ring.<br/><br/>The tiefling phased faint green for a split second, then into the invisibility of etherealness. She blinked back in a few moments later, already rolling across coins away from the creature and then leaping into the air to fly through the archway. ""Big bronze snake!"" she cried. ""It's fast and when it bites it doesn't let go!"" She hooked around the nearer corner, out of direct line of sight from the beast, wincing and panting.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(EDIT: I might've made a mistake: Aria's Ring of the Darkhidden makes her invisible to darkvision - in other words creatures need to be able to see her by some other means, like regular vision or blindsight, to 'see; her...so I guess I'll assume that during this attack, Aria was in the area illumatined by Kass's sunrod, which is possible from the slices of the first room from which Kass would have line of sight to Aria.)<br/><br/>bronze serpent init 31<br/>Aria init 29<br/>Kass init 25<br/><br/>serpent:<br/>bite at Aria<br/>atk 45 dmg 17 + 21 electric (-5 elec resisted)<br/>improved grab: grapple check 73<br/>(Aria has no chance)<br/>constrict dmg 31<br/>total 64<br/>Aria at 100 HP exactly.<br/><br/>Aria:<br/>activate blink ring<br/>(I always presumed that other creatures can't maintain a grapple against an ethereal foe.

Actually 55', since then the bronze serpent can't fit itself completely into the first room if it approaches her, and will take squeeizng penalties (-4 attack, -4 AC, half speed) for being in the archway which it would probably still have on Aria's and Kass's next turn, due to an inability to get fully into the room (without using more actions to bull rush them back, grapple and drag, etc.) (The original monster entry has oblong space for the creature - like you'd expect something long and skinny to be - but it's 3.0 and in 3.5 everything has square facing.)<br/><br/>If Kass is holding the sunrod, she couldn't spellcast with the sword in her other hand. I guess she could have tied a sunrod to herself or something, since there's no fire danger like with a torch, and no need to trigger it every round like with a wand. (The downside of that approach would be the inability to as quickly drop or store it to hide in darkness, or toss it to illuminate a distant area.)<br/><br/>serpent makes its Will save (after Kass beats its SR)<br/><br/>Serpent:<br/>double move up to Kass<br/>(can't charge b/c it has to 'squeeze' through the archway; and despite its reach it wasn't able to attack her after 1 move)<br/><br/>Aria:<br/>(forewent her AoO against the moving serpent - she was only armed with her unarmed attack and figured it'd do piddly damage and might alert it to her presence before it had begun its second move action - which it had by then, but she doesn't know that.

""I suppose I bite, but luckily I didn't inherit the devil-fangs for it to truly hurt...""<br/><br/>In the book which had mentioned the statue of Adon, Kass would notice several other dog-eared pages, each with a number scribbled on the turned-down corner; the statue of Adon had had a '2'. As for Kass's thoughts on using the map to identify the center of the spell area and possibly teleport there; she would note, looking at it, that even if the traced circle on the map matched exactly to the spell they had witnessed and felt, the level of the detail of the map was such that they'd probably only be able to identify the corresponding location in the physical world within a few miles; to the right mountain among the range or so. The circle as a whole encompassed a diameter of several hundred miles, radiating the majority of the way west towards the coast of Mulhorand, and east across sparsely populated, trackless plains and steppes. Perhaps this was why the spell origin had been chosen from somewhere in the mountain range: for its area not to be blocked by mountains had the spell been cast from beneath them.<br/><br/>The sunrod dropped by Kass fell for some dozen feet before landing and rolling out of sight as the hole curved. Over the next few minutes, the hole gradually started to collapse in on itself to no harm of the surrounding floor; it appeared the creture's passage had pressed the soil outward, and it was now expanding back into its previously filled space.<br/><br/>Aria and Kass were able to loot the rest of the books and treasure without further hostile interruption. Aria ended up pulling out from the giantess's bag of holding a number of large round stones, probably for throwing, in order to make space for the hoard (joining a fair bit of valuables the giantess itself appeared to've been toting around). Finally the place seemed picked clear of things of material or informational value, Aria having done a fairly meticulous back-and-forth-in-rows search across the place like a gardener trimming a lawn, then glancing in Kass with curious 'what's-next' eyes.<br/><br/><br/>lol, glad to hear, and I can tell that you are enjoying Kass a lot (and it comes out in the thoughtful posts and tactics)<br/><br/>I think there was some other enemy that had like <10 HP left after her last attack on it...the giantess maybe...and of course Kass is far more versatile at doing things other than direct damage (both with the spells, and effectively having 9 ranks in every skill), including neutralizing enemies or buffing allies<br/><br/>giantess:<br/>bag of holding type IV; mostly full of rocks and 13,791 of gems, jewelry and coins; efficient quiver, w/ mw Gargantuan spear, mw Huge comp longbow (Str rating +18),<br/>opal matching the one in the dragon's arm, and a magic rod<br/><br/>hoard:<br/>74,535 gp in coins and gems<br/>magic items:<br/>compass matching the one in the dragon's arm; they always point to each other<br/>potion<br/>ring (w/ inscription on the inside of the band suggesting it's a ring of evasion)<br/>rod<br/>staff<br/>cloak<br/>pipes<br/>monocle (amongst a kit of nonmagical appraisal tools, with a card suggesting the monocle is for identifying magic items)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Experience</span><br/>Karsysa the marilith: 3600 XP<br/>Babaus and succubi: 3600 XP<br/>Rana's impostor: 5400 XP<br/>Ozonyminidonaxandius the blue dragon: 5400 XP<br/>the wicker man: 5400 XP<br/>the giantess: 6300 XP<br/>bronze serpent: 7200 XP<br/><br/>Total so far: 36,900 XP<br/>Starting: 153,000 XP<br/>Current: 189,900 XP<br/>For L19: 171,000 XP<br/>For L20: 190,000 XP"

Kass would find both the real Rana and the impostor in much the same state as they'd been left; the former sleeping peacefully after her ordeal, the latter unconscious and bound.<br/><br/>Aria decided to use the library for experimenting with the monocle and found that, indeed, looking through it seemed to 'sharpen' the effects of her arcane sight (and would likely have done the same for Kass's magic detection cantrip) such that she could identify the properties o fthe other magic items, and do so far more quickly than she'd been able to with her wand.<br/><br/>The Draconic tomes were each scholarly affairs about magic, arcana, or draconic heraldry; none obviously relevant to their current retrieval mission.  One of the two Common tomes treated current-century history of piracy in the Moonsea, the other, about relics, had four numbered dog-eared pages. The one numbered first was a holy talisman rumored to be in possession of a rather unholy pirate captain; the second the Adon statue in Siwa; the third in fourth were each in cities in the neighboring old empire of Chessenta, a rod supposedly somehow imbued by the touch of the wine-god of the Olympic pantheon worshipped in that region and few places else in Toril, Dionysus, and the fourth was a shield which had supposedly belonged to some ancient hero.<br/><br/>While she worked, Arsinoe came in unbidden but not unwelcome, serving her water with crushed mint, and offering a foot and calf rub which after the camel rides was readily accepted.<br/><br/><br/><br/>EDIT: added note on 'the Ranas' as per your post before. Also Aria healing (from 65 dmg): uses belt of healing for 21 (from 6d8), then 4 more wand charges for 21+4x11=65 exactly.

While wearing an artificer's monocle, whenever you successfully use your artificer knowledge class feature (ECS 31) to detect an item's magical aura or you cast detect magic and have at least 5 ranks of Knowledge (arcana), you can spend 1 additional minute studying the item. If you do, you can identify the abilities of that item as if you had cast identify upon it.[/i]<br/><br/><br/>(Arcane Sight subsumes Detect Magic, and with a DC 20 Use Magic Device 'emulate a class feature' check, either girl can spoof the 'artificer knowledge' requirement. Come to think of it that removes the need for the Detect Magic; it's 'artificer knowledge' or '5 K(a) ranks + Detect Magic').<br/><br/>Charming<br/><br/>Made of twisting wood ornately shaped and carved, this staff allows use of the following spells:<br/>Charm person (1 charge)<br/>Charm monster (2 charges)<br/><br/><br/>Cloak of the Manta Ray<br/><br/>This cloak appears to be made of leather until the wearer enters salt water. At that time the cloak of the manta ray adheres to the individual, and he appears nearly identical to a manta ray (as the polymorph spell, except that it allows only manta ray form). He gains a +3 natural armor bonus, the ability to breathe underwater, and a swim speed of 60 feet, like a real manta ray.<br/><br/>Although the cloak does not enable the wearer to bite opponents as a manta ray does, it does have a tail spine that can be used to strike at opponents behind the wearer, dealing 1d6 points of damage. This attack can be used in addition to any other attack the character has, using his highest melee attack bonus. The wearer can release his arms from the cloak without sacrificing underwater movement if so desired.<br/><br/><br/>Pipes of Pain<br/><br/>These appear to be like any other standard set of pipes with nothing to reveal their true nature. When played by someone who succeeds on a DC 15 Perform (wind instruments) check, the pipes create a wondrous melody. All within 30 feet must make a DC 14Will save or be fascinated by the sound. (This is a mind-affecting sonic compulsion.)<br/><br/>As soon as the piping stops, all those affected are stricken by intense pain at even the slightest noise. Unless a character is in a totally silent area, she takes 1d4 points of damage per round for 2d4 rounds. During this time, damage from sonic attacks is doubled. Thereafter, the least noise causes an affected character to become shaken (except when she is in a totally silent area). This hypersensitivity is a curse and therefore hard to remove (see the bestow curse spell).<br/><br/><br/>Rod of Splendor<br/><br/>The possessor of this rod gains a +4 enhancement bonus to her Charisma score for as long as she holds or carries the item. Once per day, the rod creates and garbs her in clothing of the finest fabrics, plus adornments of furs and jewels.<br/><br/>Apparel created by the magic of the rod remains in existence for 12 hours. However, if the possessor attempts to sell or give away any part of it, to use it for a spell component, or the like, all the apparel immediately disappears. The same applies if any of it is forcibly taken from her.<br/><br/>The value of noble garb created by the rod ranges from 7,000 to 10,000 gp (1d4+6 × 1,000 gp)—1,000 gp for the fabric alone, 5,000 gp for the furs, and the rest for the jewel trim (maximum of twenty gems, maximum value 200 gp each).<br/><br/>In addition, the rod has a second special power, usable once per week. Upon command, it creates a palatial tent—a huge pavilion of silk 60 feet across. Inside the tent are temporary furnishings and food suitable to the splendor of the pavilion and sufficient to entertain as many as one hundred persons. The tent and its trappings last for one day. At the end of that time, the tent and all objects associated with it (including any items that were taken out of the tent) disappear.<br/><br/><br/>Rod of the Viper<br/><br/>This rod strikes as a +2 heavy mace. Once per day, upon command, the head of the rod becomes that of an actual serpent for 10 minutes. During this period, any successful strike with the rod deals its usual damage and also poisons the creature hit. The poison deals 1d10 points of Constitution damage immediately (Fortitude DC 14 negates) and another 1d10 points of Constitution damage 1 minute later (Fortitude DC 14 negates). The rod only functions if its possessor is evil."

Kass can hold the potion since Aria has a wand of the same spell. IIRC the only magic item Aria's made use of / wanted to keep so far (other than the teleport staff, sending stones and compass) is the headband of Int from the impostor (which she was wearing in the fights after that, hence the +6 Int mod on the Insightful Strike, and which Kass can feel free to borrow for making important Intelligence-based skill checks or whatnot).<br/><br/>Edited on note on Aria healing herself in last post shortly before yours. Since it's an easy thing to forget, Aria's default 'healing algorithm' will be:<br/>at such times as she or Kass are more than say, 5 HP below full, and she's not busy fighting/fleeing/etc. (generally, 'not in initiative order / combat timing'), she'll use lesser vigor wand charges (11 hp a pop) until they're w/i 5 hp of full. Also when she does stuff like tying the camels and searching slowly around the tomb, she's taking 10 on the relevant skill (Use Rope to the former, Search on each square for the latter.)<br/><br/>One thing I like about lesser vigor (aside from it healing twice as much as CLW for the same price!) is the amount is deterministic, so it's predictable and easy to figure out even when I forget to roll."

After they left her under the eye of a pair of armed temple priests, Aria mulled what Kass said and then answered, ""Assuming our decision isn't made for us by being unable to swiftly travel or properly teleport to one of the two cities, I suppose I'm inclined to go to Luthcheq before Tsurlagol. We seem to have a particular time window of opportunity for the former, as well as the potential to face all the foes in smaller teams, if  that place in Tsurlagol she mentions holds a larger group than the team that's going to snatch the shield.:<br/><br/>""It's possible that that thief or thieves is currently at this opera house, in which case going to Tsurlagol would let us intercept them prior to the deed, but possibly present us the greater danger of a fight against more foes at once, and on their home turf. If, instead, the shield thieves are already in Luthcheq or on their way there, we'd fight fewer foes at once but might not catch up to the shield-thieves; and for all we know they plan to go straightaway to Arabel from Luthcheq with the statue and-or shield.""<br/><br/>""Whereas I figure if we go to Luthcheq, we can intercept them and then later go to Tsurlagol and root out any else at the opera house, especially if the Luthcheq thieves didn't bring the statue of Adon with them or we get the impression that whoever commands that terrible magic isn't among those we've just subdued. That way we'd fight them in two smaller groups, or so I'd hope. And if whomever mans that temple of Ares refuses to let us stand guard with them for these thieves, then at least we'll have warned them in time, and won't have spent long in Luthcheq at that point. We could then either scout around the temple to anticipate the angle of approach for the thieves and intercept them outside or something; or if hat seems infeasible, go on to Tsurlagol without having spent much time.""<br/><br/>""I can think of scenario in which going to Tsurlagol first is preferable - if whomever is going to Arabel plans to set out from there, and is not going to Lutcheq nor will rendezvous with those who do. Since the lady mentioned us going to Cormyr to deliver a message, which I believe for anyone not teleporting would entail several days sailing, I figure that's not likely to happen before this planned shield-snatch. Or at least, we're more likely yo intercept them at the shield-snatch than to miss them because of it.""<br/><br/>Since Kass had expressed interest in strategically using the capabilities of the Siwa clergy, Aria used her arcane sight to assess the spellcasting potential of the various clergy they ran across while speaking to them about such things. Rana, Aria revealed to Kass, knew divine magic of the fifth tier and Teleport as a divine spell; every other clergy member knew less, and none knew arcane magic like Kass, nor how to use arcane scrolls and wands, nor gave Kass and Aria the impression of being anywhere near as skilled at arms as themselves. One knew of a hire-wizard in the town who had teleported able-to-pay clients and sold scrolls of the same, and another seemed to Rana to be the one clergy member who knew teleport magic, but did not think she had the range or familiarity to visit any of their cities of interest, only nearer places such as the port cities of Mulhorand.  Several temple members (including the two men they had interacted with) seemed willing to venture to Cormyr to deliver a message; Rana and several others new Sending magic but none were familiar enough with anyone<em>in</em>Cormyr to have such a recipient.<br/><br/>While Kass asked around thusly, Aria searched the small temple library to find sparse descriptions and cursory maps about those same cities of interest. She didn't find anything about the temple of Ares or the 'Ultros Opera House' specifically, but she felt confident that with the succubus's staff she or Kass would've been able to teleport to any of the cities the impostor had mentioned without landing in the middle of a river or something.<br/><br/><br/>(as you can see I basically had Kass query IC about what you were interested in.)<br/><br/>lol, that's brilliant about the bard spell preparation.<br/><br/>Generally speaking, I try to make NPCs like most real people in that they will act according to their own incentives of self interest (which for good-aligned or religious ones, may include altruistic or team behavior, such as clergy wanting to help get their own relics back) to the limit of their ability / willingness. Most are not fundamentally incompetent or stupid, but their ability is probably vastly less than that of a high level PC (as is their willingness to risk their life).<br/><br/>Most NPCs are competent in the sense that they can understand and do things if they have incentive, and are not categorically incompetent. The vast majority of NPCs are not 'competent' in the sense that they'll be vastly lower level and less well equipped than our PCs. Only a very small percentage of the people in the world are high level or know much magic:  for example, that Shandalara lady who was the high priestess of one of Sune's biggest temples is a canon NPC and 9th level. A typical acolyte is maybe a Cleric-1 or Adept-1, and a random person in a town maybe has 1-3 levels of Commoner or Expert. I believe the canon pharaoh of Mulhorand is a paladin-8 or so (and much more moral and idealistic than most of his predecessors, who were probably not LG).<br/><br/>In this particular RP we have the ability to gauge a lot of this IC since Arcane Sight lets Aria determine a person's highest spellcasting level (and arcane vs divine).  Rana has 5th level spells (I forget if she told Kass this already in the RP) and everyone else Aria has seen in Siwa is lower.<br/><br/>So none of them know Gr. Scrying or Gr. Teleport (nice tactical thinking though). Rana is capable of preparing one Teleport per day since she has the Travel domain, and usually does.<br/><br/>Note that Sending has a 10 minute casting time, so its tactical use for 'hot' situations can be limited. (Most items have the same activation time as the underlying spell, unless otherwise noted.) OTOH Gr. Scrying lasts 1 hour / level and everyone who can cast it will be at least 13th, so a 'backup' character could just start scrying in advance if they are willing to watch all day.<br/><br/>(The Forgotten Realms, compared to most settings, does have a good number of uber NPCs like Alustriel. Usually they are in larger cities or have their own digs like Elminster's tower.) And there are some pockets of high level characters - for example some of the novels have the Cormyrean War Wizards constantly scrying on people and teleporting around, so they must have a number of 9th+ level members. (And they have some who do the 'scry on someone all day and teleport in when needed' thing - remote bodyguards for royalty, etc.)"

Kass went to find Aria in the library, to where she had found the requisite maps and information, which would be enough with the staff they now wielded.<br/><br/>""Well, as I see it, we need to quickly make our way into town, sell off what we can of our magic items and whatnot, and maybe pick up a few of those teleportation scrolls, to save my own personal energy, though no more than two or three at best I'd think.""

The finer courtyards and streets also boasted rather fine statuary, mostly in heroic poses.<br/><br/>And yet, the city's architecture and olive-skinned, curly-black-hair framed faces held evidence of decline. The finest buildings looked old and not in perfect repair; the more recent architecture seemed to be mostly labyrinthine slums. It was part of a Old Empire indeed, and from Aria had been reading, this city in particular was presently ruled by the mad and magophoic Karanok family. Deities of art, wisdom, and beauty such as Apollo, Athena, and Aphrodite had more worship in rival Cimbar; here, most men revered the sterner Zeus, Ares, or even Hades.<br/><br/>Aria and Kass had been granted such a view by virtue of arriving upon a rooftop near the corner of a city block.

His sandaled feet were piled about with thatch and kindling. he stood flanked by two unbound men with black curly beards, and blacker tabards over their breastplates.<br/><br/>Surrounding the wooden edifice and the crumbling marble dais were sixteen men all dressed almost identically and plainly militaristically with bronze breastplates, red cloaks with gold clasps, all armed with spears, javelins, rather large shields and small swords. They held the spears, keeping the tips pointed skyward but using the shafts to keep the surrounding cloth-garbed crowd of cityfolk from pressing in. Bronze helms with narrow vertical slits hid their faces but boasted crests of red feathering to match their cloaks.<br/><br/>Within the outward-facing ring of soldiers,  upon the marble dais stood an inner ring composed only of four monsters in similar but specially fitted military garb: two minotaurs standing tall with axes out, and two centaurs with lances, and bows and quivers upon their backs. The centaurs were outfitted with saddles, but at the moment unridden. Despite the monstrous nature of these four, their armor and cloaks seemed at least as fine, the breastplates' shoulders etched with some bird of prey.<br/><br/>One of the two black-bearded men flanking the bound one, his tabard like his fellow's displaying the symbol of a black ram's head, held a furled scroll and orated as if from memory.<br/><br/>""...yet even father Hades welcomes under his everlasting shroud those who would, no less than Prometheus with his stolen fire, wield the fire of magic unlicensed.

Hmm, if you have invisibility magic, we might use that, and I could fly you down or the bound guy up if you don't wish to use a dimension-door spell. If I get grabbed by guys I can start blinking, like with the bronze serpent when it bit me. Also, by the way, I can reliably use the teleportation staff, but might have to fiddle awhile to successfully use a scroll.

He mentioned knowing about the shield they'd spoken of in the square, the 'Shield of Aechilles', and marked it on the book-map Aria had taken. Apparently the primary temple of Ares in the city was built into the city wall near one of the gates, and doubled as a sort of garrison, but the shield was located at a second, somewhat smaller and more remote temple a few miles outside the city, located upon a hilltop.<br/><br/>In turn giving Thucides directions to the hire-wizard from the temple front gates, Kass and Aria asked around about a meal and lodgings. They snaked upon dates and figs and goat-meat and grapes, and, it seemed, had the run of one of the nicer quarters of a priestess currently traveling (or shacked up with some wealthy man of the town, depending on the rumor).  It had a gauzy-curtained balcony much like Rana's quarters, overlooking cultivated date-trees and the open desert beyond. The bed was canopied with its own matching set of deep scarlet gauzy curtains, and flanked by a modest amount of delicately crafted furniture.<br/><br/>Once situated, Aria drank almost a gallon of water in one go; she'd sweat quite a bit in the Mulhorandi climate and, somewhat to her own chagrin, when she sweated profusely enough it took on a faint but unusual wood-and-charcoal fire type scent, like someone nearby roasting meat over a fire.<br/><br/>Due to he same heat, she was quite happy enough like Kass to sleep utterly nude, the pink-red tones of her lips, nipples and tail vivid against the rest of her pale skin. Several times in sleep she would turn or roll while dreaming, and an arm, leg or tail would snake around or retract from Kass's body.<br/><br/>At the appointed time, near to midnight, the serving girls had been told to wake their guests to serve and feed, Acenith and Arsinoe padded in wearing their usual cotton skirts and bosom-webbing necklaces, bearing platters of the same foodstuffs as the adventurer's afternoon meal.

It wasn't any cooler than her ideal ambient temperature, but after the day in the desert, and the sleeping and rub-down with the body heat of others, it was a neat contrast.

She wore no cloth skirt or sandals, though. Her black hair still held a dozen of the gold or ivory beads popular in the region. Her skin seemed to've been oiled much like Kass's and Aria's and glistened by the starlight, which with the reflection off the sand of the open desert beyond the balcony seemed even brighter than in the courtyard.<br/><br/>Aria made a play of creeping stealthily through the bedchamber to the balcony after having rather quietly opened the door and slid her haversack under the high priestess's bed. She announced herself to Rana by lightly tugging the woman's hair back, simultaneously clasping one hip with her other hand, and lashing her tail up the other.

Aria felt her anal ring stretched outward around the base of the penetrating organ, its length filling and fucking her helpless rectal cavity.

Using a map from the book Aria had dug up in the temple library, they teleported to an unobstructed-looking open square - which, fortunately, unlike Luthcheq's, was not presently occupied by an angry crowd.<br/><br/>The intersection wasn't as deserted as one might expect at this hour; Tsurlagol was a city which stirred late, it seemed. Most passing folk had dark clothes drawn about themselves, seemingly in a hurry to be somewhere else and not noticed along the way, especially one who seemed to've noticed Kass's and Aria's sudden appearance.<br/><br/>The different weather was instantly perceptible against Aria's skin: damper air; in fact, it felt, and the cobblestones underfoot looked, like it'd recently rained. The foliage of the courtyard square also indicated a less arid climate, filled with water-hungry flowers and broad-leaved trees which would've parched quickly in Mulhorand.<br/><br/>All about the square where gingerbread-shingled townhouses, faintly illuminated by rows of street lamps which enclosed torches. One corner held a still-lit and -noisy tavern, in which it was but a few minutes' asking about to be directed to the 'Ultros Opera House' the impostor had spoken of.<br/><br/>That venue was apparently along the waterline through which almost all the city's commerce flowed, a series of waterfront warehouses and facing piers where many cargo-ships and a few suspiciously swift-looking vessels were moored. Aria was immediately cast back mentally to Luskan, and had little doubt that contraband and smuggling accounted much of the commerce here. The impostor had even referred to Tsurlagol as a 'pirate city', and the Sea of Fallen Stars it faced held a constellation of islands which earned their appellation, the Pirate Isles.<br/><br/>Past the commercial docks and among highcoin-looking waterfront residences with their own ringing gardens, the opera house seemed like a great wood and thatch-topped ring-shaped place, probably built that way because of the nature of the interior. It filled a square block, with little statue-filled corners at the four corners left upon by the cylindrical shaped wall. On the ocean-facing side the wall was broken by spreading, spilling steps, flanked by corkwood boards with corners of old posters still affixed.<br/><br/>Two dark-haired men stood upon the steps in usher-like uniforms, with dark pants, white ruffled shirts, and dark jackets with gold buttons and trim. Each had long hair pulled into a tight ponytail, and one cupped his palm to cover and protect a lit tobacco pipe against the damp air. Despite the late hour, symphonic music boomed faintly from within the doors behind them."

Ticket desks stood to either side of the front doors, an attractive lass and heavyset bodyguard beyond each; beyond these the foyer widened into an expansive with two high-pedestaled statues, the left of a dancing female and the right of a rapier-wielding and orating male. Beyond these were three sets of red wooden double doors, each with one other usher dressed in a similar manner.<br/><br/>Several tall tapestries  hung about the room, each one displaying some personage in a theatric or dancing pose, with the faces sewn in careful detail; perhaps they were supposed to be recognizable individual performers in the city. The two doormen led the way to and opened a nearly imperceptibly single door in the right hand wall.<br/><br/>This gave way to a wooden corridor which slowly slanted up, and, at intervals was pieced with several window-like apertures facing<em>inwards</em>. Each looked over the heads of darkened rows of half-filled theater seats of burgundy velvet. To judge from the opera house's exterior dimensions, this was the auditorium which occupied its center and most of its volume. The only light came from the far stage. A fairy-tale woodland set was bathed in soft light green and purple light, the backdrop a great painted curtain of endless forest vista, and the primary stage-edifice the suggestion of a ruined castle tower jutting out from the stage-right (the audience's left) wing.<br/><br/>Several slender lasses danced upon the stage, movements fluid with the suggestion of water, but quick, and they were made up with aquamarine colorings, fake elf-ears, and sparing outfits seemingly made of leaves; probably they were supposed to be elves or dryads.<br/><br/>From the faux castle turret choked with fake vines, a fair woman in vaguely bridal attire sang. Her voice carried hauntingly, the words beseeching the 'fey' below to return a stolen child begot upon her by a man they had apparently stolen before that.<br/><br/>The pit orchestra beneath the stage alternated stanzas of the booming notes with soft, flute-based passages, seeming to mirror the singing woman's tumbling emotions and alternate appeals to the better angels of they or to their fears of reprisal.<br/><br/>The two doormen before Kass and Aria never glanced through the apertures, leading around the curve of the ring-shaped opera house past several open or closed doors which appeared to be dressing- or prop-rooms.<br/><br/>Eventually they passed the stage's left wing on their left, affording Aria a view right between the spaced layers of curtains which were used for the entrances and exits of performers while masking the backstage from the house. A set of male dancers waited in the wings, 'armed' with wooden silver-painted swords and similarly dressed like armored knights from the waist up, but with muscular legs (and very tight butts, Aria noticed) girded only by silk hose. High overhead, dark-garbed young women moved about on catwalks, amongst pulleys and levers and ropes from which other set pieces dangled.<br/><br/>Only once they were behind the huge hanging canvas serving as the painted woodland backdrop for the stage set d the two men stop and turn, near the centermost of three wooden doors along the back outer wall of stage rear. One whispered, ""One moment, pardon, while we seek to speak with the one you seek, and can indeed bring you to he or he to thee.""<br/><br/>But something in his manner and tone would give a sense to both Kass and Aria, causing the latter to give a sidelong glance to the former and cough discretely, that something was wrong, like they spoke with more impostors or double-crossers or those seeking to lead them into some sort of deception or trap."

Kass stated with a smirk, standing and muttering a spell to herself, upon herself, and when she spoke next her words came out even<em>more</em>smoothly than before ""I can talk my way past<em>anything</em>now... take me down to the side, and take my arm like a proper lady, alright?""<br/><br/>Once on the ground, and moving arm in arm now (Kass decided to put her sword into her wand bracelet, just in case she needed it quickly), Kass led them around to the redheaded boy, smiling and grinning pleasantly as she put a heavy, sensual sway in her hips, her breasts pressed<em>tight</em>against Aria's body, nuzzling her neck with a lusty grin on her face.  When they were close, she grinned at the men and let out a purr.<br/><br/>""Oh... you're<em>different</em>than the men from before now aren't you handsome?"" she said with a lusty, husky tone to her voice ""We're in a bit of a dilemma... see, my<em>lover</em>and I got a bit... hot and<em>bothered</em>earlier during the play-she's just<em>couldn't</em>keep her hands to herself-and I'm afraid when we left to...<em>attend</em>to the matter, it seems we managed to lose our ticket stubs... but we're supposed to be inside, so do you think you could... let us and help us get back in?  I<em>promise</em>it will be worth your while, cutie...""<br/><br/>She moved a hand to the bottom of her top, and gently pulled it outward, winking at him as the underside of her boob was exposed.  If there was anything a young man was weak to, it was to a hot woman and the thought of sex... and to Kass' magic of course.  This should go over well, she figured... and hoped.<br/><br/>Nah, you're not metagaming any more than any other DM; Aria kept bringing up 'are you sure you want to go to [insertthisplacesnameicanneverremember] and not Lughcheq?,' but that is personally fine with me as I consider that a part of her character that helps me out IC.  It could be seen as you trying to 'push' me in a direction, but I don't know if it is for sure and I could be reading into it too much.  I'll be sure to let you know if you are metagaming, but just keep doing what you're doing dear ^_^<br/><br/>Anyway... I kind of want to have some fun with Glibness... so that's what she'll cast on herself, meaning that even if she tells them she's Sune and if they let her inside she'll fuck each of them until they were sated (+20 because it's so far out there to their Sense Motive), she's still got a +10 to her own Bluff check equivalently! (+30 to Bluff - the +20 to Sense Motive).  Here's to some fun (and me hoping this is as awesome as spell as it sounds)! ^_^<br/><br/>...and to clarify, I'm banking on the 'to make someone believe what you want them to' bit >.>  Oh, and my Bluff Check for this part is...

No doubt the youth would be imagining Kass in his mind's eye at particular 'private' moments for years to come. And the press of those young breasts against her...well that was certainly worth smiling over as well. In the front lobby, one of the same girls behind a ticket desk seemed to recognize them from when they'd entered with the doormen before, and waved them past. She had a slightly quizzical look - perhaps wondering how they were entering a second time without her having seen them leave in between - but not a confrontation or suspicious one. If she or the ushers manning the far sets of double doors to the auditorium house had any sinister intent like the two fighting doormen from before, they didn't show it.<br/><br/>Aria glanced at where they'd used the hidden door before, and then at the mirror image spot on the left wall, and indicate to Kass that there was a matching door.

It's sort of like the Mediterranean area.<br/><br/>Aria take ten on search<br/>btw if you ever want to reduce your rolling for Bluff etc., you can take 10 with most skills in most noncombat situations. This is why I don't post many skill checks for Aria (not b/c she gets a pass, but b/c she almost always takes 10 when she can).<br/>Also don't forget that Bluff isn't mind control...successful bluffing means they can't tell you're lying, but not that they'll necessarily do what you say, or that if they have factual information which contradicts what they are saying they will ignore it - infinite bluff is basically a perfect poker face (and the skill to choose believable lies which lead people to do/allow what you want). Diplomacy is also for getting people to do favors for you. Although you're in the realm of the ""implant Suggestion"" epic bluff usage (+50), which *is* a kind of mind control.<br/><br/>Not mentioning b/c you've misused it so far, just b/c some of your OOC comments suggest you might be thinking of it as ""make anyone do anything with a high enough check"".<br/><br/>Of course, it's perfectly fine if-when you don't know which skill is relevant to a situation or how far it can go: I just always do skills in the background when I need to. I'm just mentioning so you don't feel 'cheated' if something later doesn't go as far as you expect (""my roll was X, how come what I thought would happen didn't, how can their sense motive possibly be that high!?"" etc.) I definitely encourage your using it though, and IMO this is a great scenario for it."

This hall also had a similar set of apertures, giving another series of angles on the stage (where now, the sword-wielding men in tights were onstage and dancing about with the 'fey' and faux-fighting them in ways which made subtle phallic suggestions about the swords).<br/><br/>After the same distance as the other hall, this one opened into the broader, much-higher-ceilinged side- and backstage area. Kass and Aria could see part of the wing for state-right, with its row of curtain segments providing several short 'halls' for the entrances and exits of both players and sliding set pieces, which in fact they had seen earlier  when looking laterally across the stage from stage left.  Past that, the curving outer wall would presumably continue right behind the stage to the three fake/magic-auraed doors.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The 'acts as you wish for 1 round' thing (thanks for pointing it out) is from Bluff, not Glibness:<br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/bluff.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/bluff.htm)<br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/glibness.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/glibness.htm)<br/><br/>AFAICT the only qualitative thing Bluff adds is the protection from anti-lie magic, not new uses of Bluff. Other than that it 'just' gives it +30 on ""...checks made to convince another of the truth of your words. (This bonus doesn’t apply to other uses of the Bluff skill..."" so actually you can't use it for Suggestion it seems (but you do have the bardic music (mass) suggestion).<br/><br/>However, the 1-round thing does somewhat mollify what I said before (i.e. apparently you can 'make' them do things.) How that works I guess is the NPC would basically act as if whatever you bluffed them about is in their own interest, and they would 'actively' help rather than just 'passively' not raise a fuss / call you out / whatever. For example if the door had been locked, and those employees had had a key, they would've bought the story about her being supposed to be back there and would've unlocked it for her. (btw nice bluffing at the player/roleplaying level too.) Or in other scenarios, for example a guard might not only let you pass (i.e. not raise an alarm or attack) but would give you directions."

""Hope I can pick those doors if they're locked..."" She glanced through the wing curtains, watching the 'dryads' and 'knights' 'fight' onstage from the lateral angle. At the moment, some other thespian waited in the wing, body fully occluded by his or her costume: blood-cloaked and hooded, scythe in hand, and skull-masked. A few crew members were still up on the catwalks above, seemingly busy with the show in spite of, or perhaps because of, the departure of the four who'd shadowjumped outside to fight Kass and Aria.<br/><br/>A moment later the first, leftmost of the three doors came into view around the edges of the curtains, then the center one, and - just in front of the third, rightmost door, the one she'd previously blinked through the wall next to, she saw a man with the translucent shape that indicated, to her vision, invisibility magic. Unusually for someone invisible, he was rather flamboyantly dressed, and would've been quite eyecatching without such magic:<em>most</em>of his curly-haired just was clad in a ruffled shirt so ivory-white it nearly glowed, which he accompanied by velvet red pants and a cape tossed over one shoulder. His shoes were of some exotic magical beast's hide, and his forked beard and curled moustache were immaculately and outlandishly oiled and curled. He was balding, with shocks of dark hair raking back from both sides of his head, and his shirt was topped by a thick ruffled collar upon which his head seemed to sit.<br/><br/>He was looking up the left wing of the stage, but Kass would hear a hiss from a few paces in front of the opposite of the three doors, the one nearest themselves. The invisible man turned, while Aria was hissing to Kass what she saw, and he seemed to see them as well. The man hands flew up a spellcaster's way, with his eyes beading on them in a fashion rather recognizable as the look of one about to target magic.<br/><br/>""He's attacking!"" Aria hissed, sliding her bow into hand, and activating the magic from her gloves which always seemed to let her sight focus far, as one looking through a spyglass. Staring the man down a drawn arrow, she let it fly, then another. Much like the sirines outside, the flamboyant fork-bearded man then fell with a pair of arrows in his throat. ""Brief candle!"" he croaked, and his body became visible as it hit the backstage floor dead, a human skull rolling out of his robe and across the wooden planks.<br/><br/>Aria took a stage-cue from Kass to aim at the whisper; her bow would cause arrows to veer to creatures if she aimed near enough herself. The first arrow went where she wished, but was deflected suddenly and spun away into the wall high above, as it batted or knocked away by something. The second arrow found<em>something</em>, vanishing from sight but then replaced by an arc of red blood in the air, and a horrible gagging sound.<br/><br/><br/>Aria init 25<br/>Kass init 17<br/>NPC init 6<br/><br/>Kass echolocates someone else 2 squares in front of left (east) door<br/>Aria: 5' step south (so that the invisible man no longer has partial cover from her due to the curtain edge), draw bow, cast sniper's shot, (6/10 left after), full attack<br/><br/>mods 30/25/20/15<br/>Result: 15, 18, 6, 20,<br/>threat Result: 14,<br/><br/>atk 45 dmg 5+64<br/>atk 43 dmg 10+61, slain<br/>attack foe echolocatd by Kass<br/>(Seeking enhancement negates the 50% miss chance for it being unseen, provided you figured into the right square.

Bowing their heads, several uttered, ""Darkness enfold the betrayers, silence enfold us,"" then resumed scurrying about their work.<br/><br/>""Nicely played,"" Aria whispered back after nodding in agreement with Kass's plan. She took the bodies into the nearest prop room they'd passed through and raided them, finding a number of things of magic (including the hairbands one man had pulled down to apparently fight blindfolded) and one key around each neck. ""Three doors, three keys, here's hoping..."" she muttered, then hid the bodies as best she could by toppling a pile of fabric over them and closing the door.<br/><br/>When she came out, the 'reaper' had wandered onto the stage, and from the wing she could see the player lording over the mostly-'dead' 'knights' and 'dryad' on stage, those who remained lamenting their woes in song while the 'reaper' silently skulk-danced about and slashed the scythe over the head bodies in turn.<br/><br/>Aria tried at the center door the key of the blindfolded man (the one she figured had been standing in front of it, between the other two); it didn't work, but then the caped man's did.<br/><br/>Swinging the door open, she gasped. it led into a fair-sized chamber, despite her earlier blink-movement accidentally dumping her immediately outdoors. ""Either an illusion to dump the unwary outside, or a portal.."" she muttered: but if it were an illusion, it would likely have been a more unassuming-looking theater room.<br/><br/>This was some dark gray-walled chamber, the far wall thirty feet back from the door, about the same distance as the stage's back was from her side of the door.  It hardly looked like another theater room, though; rather more stately or ceremonial. Kass again seemed quite right about the Sharran allegiances, for banners with the dark moon symbol of that goddess hung upon the facing wall, flanking sets of double doors she could glimpse to the left and right on the far wall, to which black carpets of the same width led.<br/><br/>The strangest thing of all, though, was that the chamber was in a perfectly monochrome black and white. She thought it might've been her darkvision, for it looked just as things did when she had only that to see by. Yet Kass would also see a room of black and white, though more dimly: only by what light seemed to filter through the doorway itself - no light sources were visible in the black-and-white chamber beyond.<br/><br/>Etched into the far wall, near the ceiling and between the dark-moon-disc banners which flanked the sets of double doors, was an inscription.<br/><br/><em>There is no good without evil. <br/>No love without hate. <br/>No innocence without lust. <br/>I am darkness.</em><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>lol, great bluff! very appropriate, and amusing<br/>magic stuff:<br/>skull guy:<br/>chain shirt<br/>cloak<br/>2 rings (1 matches the sirines')<br/>4 wands<br/>the skull<br/><br/>doormen:2 pair bracers<br/>2 amulets<br/>2 belts<br/>2 blindfolds which match the sirines'<br/><br/><br/>nonmagic:<br/>100 shuriken<br/>2 light crossbows, 40 bolts<br/>hand crossbow, 10 bolts<br/>3 daggers<br/>4 kamas, 4 sais<br/>3 keys (one on each)"

Kass said still in Sylvan as she put the blindfold over her eyes, thinking that, given the darkness, this might have something to help with that ""I have to... let's try the right door first in here, then the left, and if need be we'll check the doors outside then.  No matter what though, this place is going to be lit with as much<em>beautiful</em>flame and<em><strong>lovely</strong></em>song as I can manage!""<br/><br/>Hehe, well... shadows, assassins, and darkness... figured 'why the hell not?' XD<br/><br/>By the way, I'd said she put on one of the hairband/blindfolds last time... what did it do, if anything?  Also, would lighting the opera house on fire in the name of Sune/Sharess be considered an evil act?  Technically Sune greatly opposes Shar as an enemy...

Few dark goddesses are more notorious, from what I know, and I can regrettably say that many a sneak-thief-by-training like myself falls into their fold. Hers or Mask's, anyway. I suppose those sirines are the sort of persn I could've been had I darker heart or different life beginning, and would happily stomp out this dark compound or temple or whatever - and<em>wherever</em>- it is."" With the bardess mentioning flame, Aria reflected that<br/><br/>As soon as the blindfold clothed her eyes, Kass would get a sudden bat-like sense of where everything within about six paces of her was - the three-dimension contours of Aria's form, the walls and floor and door, the catwalks overhead, and the backside of the stage wall. For fighting and many other tasks it would seem as effective as sight, but conveyed no sense of color and little sense of texture, and nothing at all beyond its range. In some ways it felt more like the sense of touch or hearing, but with the definition and spatial accuracy of sight. Kass would also sense that the magic item apparently attuned to the same bodily chakra as her veil, precluding the use of one with the other, requiring physical readjustment to switch.<br/><br/>Intrigued and impressed, Aria tried on the other blindfold, and remarked, ""Neat, maybe they used it for sensing out each other when they were shadow-hidden. I notice the guy in the middle was the old blindfolded: putting all three doors within the range, while the other man, and the invisible dandy, were probably using regular sight to see up both wings.""<br/><br/>She pulled the blindfold up a little, tucking it under the Rana-impostor's headband, so that if she wished to use it later it'd be relatively expedient to do so.<br/><br/>As soon as they crossed into the black-and-white world of the room, the air grew markedly chillier, and somehow more stale. The room was just as high-ceilinged as the theater, and trapezoidal, with two more sets of double doors on the slanted left and right walls. The long wall behnd them had four other doors, two to either side, with the othermore of each radiating magic, and of a positions and style seeming to match the other two magic doors at the back of the theater. The wall itself curved in the same manner - or rather, a mirroring manner;<em>both</em>walls seemed to be the inside of large circles. The flanking doors on both sides thus 'bowed' away from their theater-side counterparts, a rather disturbing optical effect to Aria's mind, as if she'd suddenly reversed direction and were facing the middle of the theater building again, or rather this mirror or shadow of it.<br/><br/>Abruptly her focus shifted: there was a rush of air just to her left and the sound of jaws chomping down but just barely falling short of her, followed by a canine snarl and a skidding sound against the floor as if some creature's paw had caught on a loose plank or stone, mercifully fouling the attack. ""More shadowhiding foes!"" Aria gasped, unable to see her panting assailant despite her darkvision.<br/><br/>A similar canine charge had already come from Kass's right, the shape of a great horse-sized hound creature rushing into range of her blindsight and snapping large, slobbery fangs (each one sharply contoured by the blindsight) at the bardess. Kass's broad secondhand knowledge would suggest these were so-called 'shadow mastiffs', to the Plane of Shadow what hellhounds were to Baator, creatures which like the martial artist doormen could become nigh-invisible except in sun-like light,  and which used lupine sneak-up-and-pounce and bite-and-trip tactics. Indeed, the beast jerked its head at the moment its jaws snapped down, in a wolf-like attempt to jerk its prey off balance.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Huh, can't believe I missed that you did that one post earlier...I had been on the lookout for it, even. Thanks a lor for reiterating it. (Esp. b/c as you can see it matters w/ these new foes!)<br/><br/>Blindfolds grant blindsight (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#blindsightAndBlindsense) 30', but the character is otherwise blind while using it (and no, you can't put it over one eye for both); face chakra<br/><br/>Putting it on from a relatively convenient position is probably a move action (closed category in Actions in Combat (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsincombat.htm) seems to be 'manipulate an item'). Let me know if you have other thoughts.<br/><br/>Some 'epic goals' and in-character development related to that milestone is a nice thought, I agree, particularly depending on the nature of whatever feat you take at 21.<br/><br/>I don't think burning down a building itself would be evil, but even if it's empty, it'd be hard to keep it from spreading to the adjacent blocks and would probably kill random people or at least destroy their homes.<br/><br/>Surprise round (mastiffs only get one despite Kass's blindsight b/c they charged from beyond its range)<br/><br/>Left mastiff: charge Aria<br/>nat1<br/>Right mastiff: charge Kass<br/>atk 46 dmg 29 + trip attack roll 25<br/>(Kass makes a Strength check - Str mod + d20 - and unless it's 25 or higher she's tripped.

She triggered her ring again, and began blinking.<br/><br/>The beast assaulting her snapped its jaws, growling in frustration as they clamped down on air. The ethereal tiefling floated up 'through' the jaws, reappearing after her first phase several feet in the air, flapping her wings, hoping to preclude a trip.<br/><br/>The other mastiff fared even worse, emitting a high-pitched, kicked-puppy yip. It sagged back with a pained look on its face, and scrunched eyes, as if its acute canine hearing had been painfully offended and its head suddenly ached. Indeed, the creature bled from its ears, and still yipping, exposed its backside as it turned to dash and cower pathetically in the furthest corner of the room.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Outsider is an odd Type that has more to do with place of origin than body shape/substance. Like how erinyes and succubi are not, say, (Monstrous) Humanoids or even Fey.<br/><br/>IIRC Pathfinder lessens the effect of size on the mods (from 4 to like 1 or 2), which I'm guessing is what you're referring to. In this case they're only 1 size category up.<br/><br/>The perm spells I priced at what wand/staff charges of those spells would cost: 15 gp x spell level x caster level, and for the Permanencies also add 5 gp per XP. In-character, she visited an emporium that does precisely this as a service, 'renting' charges (esp. the sort that would be most in-demand for self-perming). In general the default price for spellcasting services is 10 gp x spell level x caster level, for healing and divination services etc cetera, which is a third cheaper...but in for permanencies the recipient needs to cast the spell on themselves.

See Invis was important for Aria b/c even when you 'make' the 50% miss chance to hit an invisible thing, you can't add sneak attack damage. A lot of her items are oriented around 'be able to sneak attack when you otherwise wouldn't', like the blink ring and deathstrike bracers, the sniper's shot casting even the fly and other mobility stuff - b/c of the 30' range limit on sneak attack (you may remember her not being that effective in long-range combat in the other RP, despite a high Dex.) There are certain ways that spellcasters or other unusual enemies can be very annoying to melee characters, like flight and invisibility, and a bunch of ways to negate sneak attack damge (crit immunity that 5 Types and some other enemies have, uncanny dodge, concealment, being more than 30' away, just not being flat-footed or flanked) so I tried to have a way to deal with most of those.<br/><br/>See Invis was also b/c she has an awful Spot and Listen mod (-1) to even detect the right square to target. But it's pretty useful for anyone (and invisibility prevents spell targeting). btw Glitterdust is an excellent anti-invis spell (reveals them with no save, and has a chance to blind anyone).<br/><br/>See Invis would probably be worth getting eventually (but less important with the blindsight item). The other 4 are a toss up; 1 party member having is about as useful as all, and Kass has Detect Magic and Tongues. I chose Arcane Sight to justify convenient looting, and the others kinda for the heck of it.<br/><br/>Where Aria's not that well invested is ability mod, AC, and save items. Her low Will save is a big weakness (the Swashbuckler class feature next level, Slippery Mind, and her likely next feat, Dextrous Will, will help with that) as is her flat-footed AC (but Uncanny Dodge usually helps there).<br/><br/>Aria: pull down blindfold, activate blink, vertical 5' step<br/><br/>btw thanks for getting the spell text; awesome.<br/><br/>Right mastiff fails save (DC 23 from 5 spell level and 8 cha), takes 41 dmg, and runs panicked to the corner of the room and cowers.

The beast howled and its hips sagged, hindpaws stumbling gracelessly.<br/><br/>Aria drew a kukri as soon as it turns its head, slicing through the side of the thick, muscular canine neck. The beast snarled and spun again towards Aria, who phased out, reappeared in an unexpected direction yet again, hovering about its other shoulder. She drove the kurki in behind the shoulderblade, then made a sudden twist with the hilt-buried knife, turning the curved blade towards where she hoped the heart of a canine creature might be, or at least a lung to puncture.<br/><br/>Air-frothy blood billowed up around the wound; the beast sank, almost pulling the blade from aria's grip. It sprawled across the floor, bleeding from its several wounds, and quite still and unbreathing.<br/><br/>The remaining mastiff curled up fetally and whimpered once the adventurers turned their attention to it, not fighting back even as they rended the shadow hound to a like oblivion. ""Nice spell,"" Aria commented while healing Kass and cleaning and sheathing her blade, ""For all the minstrels' tales of epic clashes, I think I rather prefer foes who don't fight back at all!"" Studying the bodies, she said, ""Hmm, their barding armor is enmagiced, we could probably get it off their bodies with a minute's work..."" she removed her blindfold so that she could better see the chain texture of it, and she looked around the chamber generally, cocking an ear. The more alert Kass wouldn't hear anything through the room's many doors - the two flanking the one they'd come through which probably corresponded to the three on the 'theater side', two double pairs in the facing wall, and one double pair in each side wall of the trapezoidal chamber - but would notice they were of expert carpentry, to close flush, and likely a good damper of any sound. The upshot, of course, was that so far there was no indication that their fight had been overheard or raised an alarm.<br/><br/><br/>Oh, right you are - the enemy would get damaged and panicked before she stood, but not move until its own turn (and as you said she still doesn't provoke herself).<br/><br/>Yep, I believe all the damage is doubled for the reason you gave. Kass crits east mastiff (at 81 dmg total) and hits left (at 28).<br/><br/>Worth noting that the mastiff is cowering outside of blindsight range, but from context and knowledge of how her spell works (and its whimpers) she pretty much knows that's what's its doing. (prior to donning her blindfold, Aria could see with darkvision that the room was enclosed with no other open doors.) Once again nice tactics (tumbling into flanking.)<br/><br/>Aria: draw kurki and full attack west mastiff<br/>mods 38/33/28/23 (19 bab 10 dex 1+4 weapon 2 blink -2 twf 4 flanking) vs its flat-footed AC<br/>blink Result: 30, 10, 34, 84,<br/>2nd phases out<br/>atk/threats Result: 15, 9, 13, 4, 2, 8,<br/>atk 53 threat 43 crit<br/>atk 41 dmg<br/>atk 25 dmg<br/>4x dmg + 3x sa = 59+195 slain<br/>5' step north-east-up<br/><br/>The east mastiff is still cowering for 19 rounds, and panicked or cowering foes don't even fight back when attacked, so it's trivially slayable by the girls.

Satisfied, she activated her blink ring again (in this place, possibly dense with more foes, she decided to do so preemptively to save time if and when violence broke out) and opened the left of the door pair.<br/><br/>This revealed another trapezoidal room about the same size as their own. The long walls to either side continued to curve around to the left, lending the suggestion of a large circular layout of the same diameter as the theater house, with this chamber where the stage-right wing area would've been. Along the left wall was a set of double doors resembling those leading radially inwards in the last room.<br/><br/>This room, instead, had the look of an armory of practice room; the walls were lined with cheap-looking, mostly padded or wooden weapons and pieces of padded body armor. The floor was inscribed with a series of three circles, each of which had several radial lines, concentric circles, and hash marks - sparring circles, by the look of it.<br/><br/>Two men - a knee-length-robed human and a goat-horned-and-hooved satyr - stood in the middle one, but rather than fighting each other, they were staring at the third circle, where two other men<em>were</em>sparring. One was another satyr, wielding a small wooden sword and his own horns, the other was a lightly dressed man gliding about the circle and kicking, his technique starkly reminiscent of the two more formally dressed martial artists Kass and Aria had twice fought backstage. All four were dressed simply, their garb looking black in this colorless world, but as likely black as any other color anyway.<br/><br/>The sparring satyr seemed unexpectedly perceptive, eyes flinching towards the far door as it opened. Kass would recall most fey (and humans for that matter) had no natural ability to see in such darkness as pervaded this place, but this one appeared to have no trouble focusing across the room. He whistled to the others, balled his fists, lowered his goat-horned head, and grinned gamily as his fellows began to turn in place, the other satyr reaching for some weapon, the sparring man balling his fists, and the other man reaching into some robe-pouch.<br/><br/>Aria leaped through the open doorway and into the air, drawing her bow and firing a force arrow at the nearer, probably-a-spellcaster, human. His body spun in place, an arrowhead slicing upon his temple and blacking him out. While he crumbled to the floor, she shot at the nearby satyr, who seemed to flinch at the rush of air before quite realizing what he'd done, and only caught the shallowest of grazes While Aria hiss-whispered what she saw to Kass, she fired at the other human. The shaft  sank between two ribs and caused him to stagger back a step, clutching at himself, then another arrow caught him through the neck and sent him flying back slain across the sparring circle.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Yeah, rightmost is the one on the slanted wall.

Despite the weapons, he tried headbutting, while shouting to the other satyr to charge towards his voice.<br/><br/>As the blind satyr did so, Aria sliced at his ribs on the passby. The creature, like his fellow flinched with preternaturally good reflexes as soon as the blade touched.

The satyr continued to dance about desperately, but after her first shallow slice, Aria reached far over his shoulder and managed to catch the concave curve of her blade about the front of the satyr's throat. The blade slit flesh as it slid across, and then pulled back away rending the throat open.<br/><br/>As the fey fell and gargled, Aria dropped her bow and flung a pair of throwing hammers right over Kass's shoulder at the satyr who'd just danced to her far side.

Waving her hand in the air and seeing through it as if she were invisible, briefly pulling the blindfold down and up again to blindsee the shape of herself as precisely as ever, she remarked, ""Huh, it truly is dark here.

Kass replied as she readied herself to go, glancing back and forth, not that she had the range on it ""We need to get moving and find the statue... and everything else.""<br/><br/>She waited, and when Aria relayed the setup of the location to her, she thought it over, then relayed her idea back to her.<br/><br/>""Okay, we can assume the other door like this leads to a similar setup, based on this.  Which means we go in the door down there, or the one here since it likely leads into the same place as the double doors in the main area."" Kass said thoughtfully ""I don't know what the other two in the front room go to, but we can check them out if all other leads fail.  Your opinion though... the door here, or the one down there, since it would likely be a much smaller area we'd be going into?""<br/><br/>(Sorry it's so short)"
34931,Starfall,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=93796.0,"10-02-2011, 10:29:38",ff,"Aria rubbed her lips thoughtfully while looking at the various doors. She agreed with Kass's guess that the pair midway along the 'inner' wall (thinking of the place as a circle they had so far traversed an arc of) of the armory and sparring chamber did seem like it might lead to the same chamber as the two 'inward' facing double doors in the last room. The further pair of doors did appear to continue leading along the circumference of this compound, if it were circular like the theater house it seemed to be a dark mirror image of. She recalled that the theater had had dressing and prop-storage rooms that way...would the Sharrans responsible keep a statue in a storage-type room, or display it more centrally, like some prize to impress their fellows? She could see either...<br/><br/>""The middle doors,"" she gestured with the wand she used to wash away Kass's exhaustion, then looted the bodies, ""I agree with you that the chamber beyond likely shares the inward-facing doors of the first room, or at least leads back that way - so I figure we're less likely to get into a situation where our escape is cut off by foes between us and the magic doors which led here."" In addition to the magic items on the bodies, each had a key like the three the doormen and flamboyant stagemaster had, probably more to the magic doors between the theater house and this shadowy world.<br/><br/>As softly as she could, the tiefling opened one of the middle doors, immediately glancing left past it and along the other side of the curving wall - and indeed, spotting, barely in her darkvision range, a set of double doors to the left which matched in position and style those which had faced the magic door from the theater.<br/><br/>She realized she could barely see them, and all seeemed dim and dark even by the standarrds of this place. The room was shrouded gloomily in a way which reminded her of the devil-heritage darkness-magic she rarely called up; it was probably the darkest place she had even seen; dark even to so-called darkvision.<br/><br/>And religious iconography was there to remind her why: Shar's-emblem banners hung from a ceiling which soon curved up out of sight in a hemispherical dome; probably black and purple in coloration although of course there was none here. A carpet ran inward from the double doors, pointing towards the center of the circle traced by the curvature of the wall. Flanking it were low backless pews; this was clearly a temple-sanctuary chamber of some sort, though any altar or edifice was out of sight.<br/><br/>She<em>could</em>see a few figures, female humans each: only a few paces ahead on the carpet stood a dark-haired woman with strong thighs exposed by slits in a dark tabard drawn close about her slender waist by a several-pouched belt, which carried a magic aura (as did a ring, amulet, and circlet of the woman, and a narrow quiver-like thing strapped to a hip). Mercifully she faced away and didn't seem to've heard the door open, watching the source of a whip-cracking noise beyond the edge of Aria's vision.<br/><br/>The tiefling<em>could</em>see another, younger female, standing with a similar tabard peeled down to her waist. She stood bare-breasted and topless save for a Sharran dark-moon-disk necklace pendant nestled in her cleavage, and her eyes wrapped tight with a blindfold (with none of the magic aura of the shadowdancing sirines' and the male martial artists').<br/><br/>A whip flew into Aria's darkvision range; the blindfolded girl began to dodge at the sound but was barely caught on one shoulderblade, and gritted her teeth. Just beyond Aria's darkvision, a woman's voice droned, ""...darken feeling, darmpen fear, dash out all but instinct and reflex; how will you find victory in darkness if you cannot fight in it? Learn well from my words yet ignore my voice! Heed only the shift and scrape of my heels, rustle of fabric, rush of air...and of course, crack of whip!"" It cracked again, probably at someone else outside range of Aria's vision; the nearby and fully-dressed woman seemed able to see that far though, eyes leading the sound, while she licked her lips lustily. Aria cupped her hands over Kass's ear to whisper what she saw.<br/><br/><br/><br/>used 2 lesser restoration charges to 'cure' Kass's exhaustion from Snowflake Wardance<br/><br/>It's fine! Sometimes there's not much to say or do - in this case it's basically just the choice of door you addressed.<br/><br/>Satyrs:<br/>magic:<br/>2x chain shirt<br/>2x shortbow<br/>2x efficient quiver<br/>2x stone<br/>nonmagic: 2x shortsword, 120 arrows<br/><br/>Sparring man:<br/>magic (identical-looking to doormens'):<br/>belt<br/>bracers<br/>amulet<br/>blindfold<br/>nonmagic:<br/>50 shuriken,<br/>2 kamas,<br/>2 sai<br/><br/>Robed man:<br/>magic:<br/>headband (almost identical design to Rana's impostor)<br/>amulet<br/>ring<br/>2 wands<br/>nonmagic: four daggers, arcane spell components<br/><br/>Also 1 key each<br/><br/>Indeed, the slippers can be used while two-handing a one-handed weapon; great thinking. Snowflake Wardance does require using it one-handed (I think I PMEd the full text once and have it still if you are curious....""you add your Charisma modifier to your attack rolls with any slashing melee weapon you wield in one hand""). Of course, there may be cases where you think you'll hit except on a natural 1 (like if you can reverse engineer its AC from previous hits) and/or don't want to use Snowflake Wardance b/c of the bardic music usage and the 10 minutes of exhaustion after it ends (although when needed, the Lesser Restoration wand can reduce exhaustion to fatigue, and fatigue to nothing with a second charge).<br/><br/>SLIPPERS OF BATTLEDANCING<br/>These slippers imbue the wearer with a shocking grace<br/>and a deadly fl uidity in battle.<br/>Description: These soft, open-toed slippers are made<br/>of supple leather and look very comfortable.<br/>Activation: This item is continuously active while<br/>worn, provided that the wearer’s armor is no heavier than<br/>light.

Kass whispered in a similar manner as she had done, with her hands helping to muffle the noise, and hopefully her sword-song worked on it too ""I'll try to blind this one close to us with a spell, you move past and try to find, and eliminate, the one with the whip, that way we're left with two blind women... unless you think that we should knock the blindfolded one out first.""<br/><br/>She also was considering using another of her more potent spells to try and make the women friendly to her, but she wasn't sure if it would necessarily work...<br/><br/>By the way, I was not aware of the fatigue period on Snowflake Wardance, and since she attacked 2handed last time it wouldn't have worked anyway, so can we say that it didn't happen given the situation, or are we not going to worry about the fatigue?<br/><br/>Also, if need be, another BM for the one song for +10 MS (I can never remember it's name >.<)<br/><br/>Oh, and another question: can't she technically see through the wall via blindsight?"

Being unseen would of course also help her make precise attacks foes couldn't effectively defend themselves from; all the same she'd triggered her blink ring just before opening the door, as she'd said she'd start doing. Aria pulled her blindfold down as well - the concealing magical darkness of this room would otherwise have made it hard for her to attack precisely at all, which her aura-sighed had confirmed was a magical effect (and probably much like that of her own devil-magic) - and drew two more throwing hammers.<br/><br/>This of course occluded much of what she saw from her sight, including the topless woman, but as soon as Aria flew aloft into the chamber she was able to sense more of it. Twin statues stood along the curving wall at the same distance to either side of the door, each of a nine-foot nude woman with forearms and wielded knees crossed before herself, and a hard-lined face staring inward.<br/><br/>Ahead, the topless girl was one of a ring of eight, surrounding a whip-wielding woman much like the fully-clothed one they'd seen first. The whip-wielder, someone of station to judge from by the way she carried herself and presently behaved, was droning on as she slowly turned this way and that, to strike randomly at one of the eight girls each time. Aria could blindsee the beginnings of seven other 'wedges' of pews; the carpets between appeared to meet in a ring about a slightly raised stone dais where the whip-woman stood.<br/><br/>Once she flew just over the first-seen topless girl, Aria threw one of her hammers at the central woman. She thanked her goddess she didn't phase out at the moment of the throw,and with some satisfaction her eyes followed the spinning weapon. It cracked the dark-haired whip-woman across the temple, sending her spinning around and howling, ""Darkness breached!

With a hard wing-twist she spun in place aerially, tossing the hammer, and then another at the other tabard-topped woman, who similarly crumpled with a bashed brain. Aria phased out as she flung another at a still-moving topless girl, and reappeared just as she kicked the head of the one of the first-seen topless girl right beneath her. The girl slumped down, out cold but alive, as Aria flung another hammer at the girl she'd missed, striking her down into stillness.<br/><br/><br/>For verisimilitude I prefer to keep the recent Snowflake Wardance use (which I think was carried over from the battle prior anyway?) I'm fairly sure I gave you the full text of the feat when I first suggested it (I don't care if you forgot, I just don't want to appear to you like it's a bait-and-switch, even accidentally) and IMO it's not that big a deal, the wand charges are only 15 gp a pop and later on, if you want, you could buy/commission some custom item to cast it X times per day (360 per charge) or use so-called 'eternal wands' (2/day for a wand; roughly same price for charge IIRC). I wonder if there's an item somewhere for fatigue/exhaustion immunity. Also, the penalties are not even that bad for Kass (-6 Str and Dex, half speed movement) since the slippers let her use Cha instead of Str for attacks, and it doesn't affect spellcasting at all. So it's basically -3 AC, reflex, initiative, and half speed. Worth covering with lesser restoration when you can, but not devasting if you found yourself having to fight exhausted.<br/><br/>You get one surprise action, then (assuming that the foes become aware as the result of it - as with most any attack) roll initiative. What I meant was that:<br/><br/>Once an ally 'blows the cover' with an action (almost any attack, a failed move silently, etc.) that's their surprise round action (The last thing they do pre-initiative.) Each other PC also gets one, assuming they are also aware of things and can sync their own action with the first PC's. You don't get a(nother) surprise round action *after* your cover-blowing action. Although of course you might win initiative and get to act next anyway.<br/><br/>In general the DMG recommends doing these in rounds, like a series of 'surprise rounds' during which each PC does an action (rather than one PC doing many, then the other doing many), since you never know when one PC's preparatory actions might blow things. For example if I'd known Kass wanted to do more than one action, I might've broken Aria's over several posts. (But in this case it's clincher and Kass wasn't even close to being detected before the spell.)<br/><br/>As an example, Aria took an action to don the blindfold, then to fly (w/ drawing hammers) for one move action (with blink, fly speed is down to 45' from 60'), so far undetected b/c move silently and the darkhidden 'invisibility'. Then she attacked (which alerted the woman.) If the moving silently had failed, her movement would've been her 'surprise round action'.<br/><br/>Without something like Invisibility or Camouflage or Hide in Plain Sight you can't hide in the open (i.e. without cover or concealment), so in order to melee attack as a surprise action, for example, you normally need to be within range of one move action (a surprise round charge lets you move 1x speed + attack as one action) from some place you were undetected from (such as by hiding, or being somewhere you don't need to use Hide, like around the corner of an opaque wall). In this case a Darkness spell effect pervades the sanctuary, which provides concealment, and so Aria could've used that to Hide even while moving into the room, if she'd lacked 'invisibility'. Although of course invis makes you much harder to Spot than 'mundane' Hiding.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Also - the Hide/MS text is weird b/c it says 'less than full speed' and then jumps to 'run', sort of skipping over regular speed (and a dramatic -5 to -20 somewhere at that). You may be right that the thing to do is go down 5' (and you did the right thing reading it litrally), but IMO you can go normal speed for -5 (it's a weird discontinuity and maybe you can go infinitesimally less than normal speed?) for simplicity is nothing else.

She appeared to be paralyzed, standing a quarter-circle away from the first robed woman they'd seen.<br/><br/>Another quarter-circle around the dais, the spellcasting syllables of yet another woman echoed in the gloom, which Kass would be able to piece together as a rare divine spell known only to those who worshipped deities of darkness such as Shar. The caster moved into blindsight range, seeming to beeline for the place the invisible Kass had dropped the girl, drawing a circular chakram blade into a sure grip as she did so.<br/><br/>Aria heard and flapped closer, and as soon as she saw the woman, flung hammers at her head. One struck and spun her about; a second cracked against the crown of her head and sent her sprawling to the floor with a caved-in skull. The hovering tiefling begin flinging star-shaped shuriken from both hands into the throats of the three of the paralyzed girls, with outward crescent motions of her hands, and her fingers poised somewhat artificially on the relatively unfamiliar (but small and quick to draw and thus handy) Eastern projectiles.<br/><br/><br/>btw I like your paralyis/Hold etc. effects...speeds things up a lot to reduce the number of chars who can take a turn!<br/><br/>huh, pretty clear, I must've followed the links from SRD fatigue to exhaustion and then forgot where I started.

The main reason mechanics usually come up is b/c of implied simultaneity (everyone's moving in parallel, but writing is necessarily serial and turn-based, and rounds are what keep everyone on the same tempo). If you ever find a case where you feel that you're having to ""metagame"" (what seems to make sense intuitively somehow is disfavored by the rules, or conversely there seems to be an exploit), aka the rules seem unrealistic, you should point it out.<br/><br/>Kass hits for 36, and girl is knocked unconscious.<br/><br/>Kass also, by moving, sees a robed woman to her southwest, who also appears paralyzed.<br/><br/>(Note: in general there may be cases where a PC sees 'new stuff' midmove. B/c of BPB this sort of thing often gets paved over - if you're ever concerned about it, you can always post part of a turn and then get 'feedback' on anything new your PC sees. But I think it's very rare you'd actually miss opportunities b/c of this sort of thing.)<br/><br/>Unseen woman to northwest: spellcasts; Kass and Aria hear; Kass recognizes (Spellcraft) as Armor of Darkness (below).

The room continued its radial symmetry, with eight wedges of pews and eight statue (which bore a facial likeness to the whip-wielding priestess, but which Kass's knowledge would otherwise suggest were intended to represent Shar herself), and four almost-equispaced sets of double doors, although the wall furthest from the theater doors also held an altar and long slab (possibly sacrificial in use) more like those at the backs of oblong sanctuaries. Vertically, the place appeared to have a hemispherical dome, which seemed like it might've not been opaque in substance - but if so, beyond it was only pitch black.<br/><br/>Aria tucked her blindfold back up over her eyes, looking about as she spiraled in to meet Kass. ""No one else. A Sharran sanctuary sure enough. Magic auras on the necklaces of the topless girls - two or three of whom will live I think - and on several things of the other five; no other auras save for our own and an ambient one all about the chamber - probably the pervading magic darkness."" Just after taking off the blindfold, she noticed for the first time that Kass was invisible, herself having previously been blindfolded and blindsighted since the illusion was cast. ""Wow, they never had a chance, eh? All stunned stiff by you and unable to see us besides! Shall we loot or quickly poke into another room or two while your invisibility spell persists?"" She thought she recognized the specific magic, since Kass had attacked but was still invisible, as it was one that previous allies had cast on her in a few adventures past - it was, of course, one of the favorite of all magic effects for ambush-attackers like herself - and recalled it only lasted a minute or two.<br/><br/><br/>Aria (120' for a double move flying) will take about 3 rounds to explore the whole chamber, during which Kass has 4 (since she didn't use her 4th combat round yet) for whatever; leaving about 11 rounds left on Kass's Gr.

This revealed a library-like chamber, mirroring the sparring room in location and dimensions, with book-lined halls so high that the several present ladders on wheels would've been necessary to reach half of them. Along the middle of the room were several studying tables surrounded by chairs, and piled with yet other books and documents; the place had an almost collegiate feel for group study and lecture as well as silent individual perusal. There was even a chalkboard midway along the facing wall, with writing which appeared to be teaching Common-Infernal-Abyssal translations.<br/><br/>Only one individual was discernible there now and<em>it</em>would have no need of the ladders. It was almost as tall as the giantess in the desert, but less bulky, and less distinct: like a solid shadow, it looked high with indistinct features save for long clawed hands and glowing eyes with which it nevertheless delicately held and read a book. Kass would guess it was an undead creature, and a corporeal one despite the fact that it looked like a three-dimensional living - rather, unliving - shadow, but no mindless shambler.<br/><br/>It seemed to notice the door open, and looked that way, but nothing on its almost-faceless head clearly indicated that it could see Kass (or or yet recognized that whomever was opening the door was an intruder rather than some Sharran going about (or deliberately or magically invisible rather than still obscured by the door itself).<br/><br/>Then a sort of voice seemed to pervade Kass's and Aria's consciousness - telepathy, broadcast indiscriminately.

Books and chairs went flying under the shockwave, like a more localized but actually more potent version of the desert-devastating spell they'd witnessed but about thirteen hours before. Several ladders broke and clattered to the floor, books raining about them; but the creature seemed not affected at all, nor by Aria's blade scraping away like a dull butterknife.

A moment later, they went dark, and the creature's body seemed to waver.<br/><br/>A moment later it proved itself solid indeed, crashing back along the high bookshelf, then to the floor while Aria flapped away.

The walls were carved into shallow relief sculpture; the curved inner long wall of two women seeming to tear apart from one (Kass with her ecclesiastical knowledge would guess this represented the event at the dawn of creation when Selune and Shar had split apart from a common primordial goddess) and the curved outer wall into a row of dancing nude women with knives, their postures much like the ones the sirines had used when fighting in the street behind the theater.<br/><br/>Aria reactivated her blink yet again and opened one of the doors leading back to the central sanctuary as she passed it, to open up more escape portions, and to peek in to confirm, as far as she could see and hear, their recent handiwork in that room was still undiscovered.<br/><br/>The far doors opened into a rather densely laid out, but neatly organized, kitchen. Every wall was lined with overhead cupboards, and long continuous tables for cuttting or fire pits for grilling; the middle of the room was set of four island tables built into the ground, with many pans and utensils hanging from hooks overhead. Yet another pair of thick, soundproof-looking double doors was at the far end, and an even thicker and multiply-bolted door in the left wall; the first leading outward from the circle they had seen since the first room with its three magical two mundane outward-facing doors. A few closed cylindrical urns and rinds on the floor near the door near it gave the impression that it was opened now and then to throw out refuse from food preparation.<br/><br/><br/>Forget if I ever said before, but I 'don't believe in' level drain either, and replace it with 'semipermanent  negative levels':  anytime a character would have level drain, they instead have semipermanent negative levels: negative levels that don't go heal naturally / go away with time, but can be healed by Restoration and other effects that cure negative levels, even if more time has elapsed than normally allowed by Restoration (1 day / caster level.)<br/><br/>Restoration also cures Con points lost due to death (1st level characters lose 2 Con instead of a level.) (It already cures all ability damage and drain).<br/><br/>It's worth noting the distinction between ability damage and drain; the former heals naturally and by more spells (like Lesser Restoration). The sirine touch, and most ability score damaging spells and abilities like the rogue's Crippling Strike and swashbuckler's Weakening Critical, deal ability damage rather than ability drain. Ability damage is not that bad really - unless an ability score goes to 0, which makes you helpless, or Con goes to 0 and kills you. (In fact one 'strategy' is to try to sap one of a monster's ability scores to 0; lots of big powerful monsters have low Dex, Cha Int and/or Wis and can be taken down quickly by certain spells or special attacks to reduce a low score to 0.)<br/><br/>7 rounds on II left.<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/><br/>                     ______<br/>                    /. . .|<br/>                  =. . . .|<br/>                /. . . . .=<br/>              /. . . . . .=<br/>            /. . . . . . .|<br/>          /.\. . . . . . .|_________________________<br/>        /. . .=. . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . .\<br/>      /. . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\<br/>    /. . . . . . .\. ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\ <br/>  /. . . . . . . . .X. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\<br/>|. . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=<br/>|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=.<br/>|. . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\<br/>|___ . . ___/. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\<br/>|. .|. .|. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|___=. .=___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. .|. .|. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|___=. .=___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|  <br/>|. .|. .|. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. .=. .=. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. .=. .=. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. .=. .=. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___|_ _|___|<br/>|. . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>  \. . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . ./<br/>    \. . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . ./<br/>      \. . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . ./<br/>        \. . . . . . . . .\___ _ _ _________ _ _ ___/. . . . . . . . ./              <br/>          \. . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . ./<br/>            \. . . . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>              \. . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . ./<br/>                \. ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\. ./<br/>                  X. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .X<br/>                    \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>                      ---- - ---------   --------- - -----<br/></span>"

The floor here was so thickly carpeted one could've comfortably slept upon it, and the air was also thick with the fumes of the opiate known as black lotus. Aria recognized the spell all too well, a favorite of the many contraband products Luskan's pirates dealt in, and Kass likely would from the many Calishite houkas and braziers the stuff had filled.<br/><br/>This lounge mirrored the dining room with its doors, with pairs to either side. One on the right was open, and Aria went far enough to glance down and indicate that it led to another narrower hallway with five rooms on a side; a mirror to that other hall of smaller rooms - though this one actually seemed silent.<br/><br/><br/>Reactivating her ring and opening one of the other pair, Aria found the room mirroring the kitchen to be a second library-like chamber, though it also had somewhat more the look of a workshop or laboratory; the chalkboards were filled with arcane notations Kass would be able to make out as arcane spell education and research, and the tables here had messier surfaces, with piles of notes crammed in and under tomes. The center of the room was starkly clear, though, with concentric sets of chalked curves and runes; probably something summoning-related. ""No magic auras in this room either,"" Aria whispered.<br/><br/>This room mirrored the kitchen in dimensions; its outer wall had evidence of that a path door mirroring the heavily bolted singe door had been filled in with masonry, but a set of existent double doors near that mirrored the pair at the back of the kitchen.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/>                     ______                         ______<br/>                    /. . .|                         |. . .\<br/>                  /. . . .|                         |. . . .\<br/>                /. . . . .=                         =. . . . .\            <br/>              /. . . . . .=                         =. . . . . .\                <br/>            /. . . . . . .|                         |. . . . . . .\                  <br/>          /.\. . . . . . .|_________________________|. . . . . . ./.\<br/>        /. . .=. . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . .\. . . . . .=. . .\<br/>      /. . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . .\ <br/>    /. . . . . . .\. ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\. ./. . . . . . .\ <br/>  /. . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .X. . . . . . . . .\<br/>|. . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . .|<br/>|___ . . ___/. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\___ . _ ___|<br/>|. .|. .|. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|. .|. .|. .|<br/>|___ . . ___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___=. .=___| <br/>|. .|. .|. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|. .|. .|. .|<br/>|___ . . ___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___=. .=___|<br/>|. .|. .|. .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|. .|. .|. .|<br/>|. . . . . .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|. .=. .=. .|<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___|. .|___|<br/>|. . . . . .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|. .=. .=. .|<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___|. .|___|<br/>|. . . . . .|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|. .=. .=. .|<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___|_ _|___|<br/>|. . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>  \. . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . . . . . . ./<br/>    \. . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . ./<br/>      \. . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . ./<br/>        \. . . . . . . . .\___ _ _ _________ _ _ ___/. . . . . . . . ./              <br/>          \. . . . . . . ./. . . . . . . . . . . . .\. . . . . . . ./<br/>            \. . . . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>              \. . . .=. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .=. . . ./<br/>                \. ./. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\. ./<br/>                  X. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .X<br/>                    \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>                      ---- - ---------   --------- - -----<br/></span>"

Kass stated as she walked with Aria back to the central room ""They were comparably cheap, so don't go light on them, alright?  Anyway, we are still working on a deadline, so we do need to hurry...

Nicely prepared you are...remind me to buy some later, this and acid flasks can also be useful for ambushes...""<br/><br/>Looting the priestesses went thankfully undisturbed before they doubled back and Aria basked in the magic and morale of Kass's preparatory effect. She felt eager and ready for anything as they opened the door.<br/><br/>This lock-secured chamber was as cluttered as the kitchen, but looked less-trafficked; the walls were piled high with boxes and crates, and the floors between held islands of barrels. The masonry of the right-hand, outward hall left the impression that it had once held a grand arched double door or open gateway, now filled in. The chamber seemed like it had once been a frontal foyer-like chamber similar to the one now halfway around the circle where the mastiffs had guarded the magic doors.<br/><br/>The central ceiling rose in a hemispherical dome like a much smaller each of the sanctuary's. Three pillars rose along the left-hand, inner wall of the chamber, with a gap (filled by crates) behind each. The pillars stopped short of the ceiling; after ten feet the first and third were capped by a man-sized statue of what was probably Shar, like the eight statues in the central sanctuary.<br/><br/>Whatever might cap the central pillar was obscured: a sphere of swirling light hovered just under the dome, unbroken save for where it met the central pillar like the head of a mace. Twenty feet in diameter, it extended almost to the two flanking statues and to the dome overhead. Although it did not illuminate the chamber, it seemed to be made of magical light-like energy and gave a swirling, kaleidoscopic impression that had they been able to see normally and in color in this case, it would've been a rainbow of colors.<br/><br/>The magically studied Kass in fact would recognize it as surely the spell effect usually known as a 'prismatic sphere', after Aria, being able to see shade at least by using darkvision rather than blindsight, described the swirling to her. Aria also mentioned that the chamber entirely seemed overlaid with some other magic aura with no visible effect, like some sort of ward.<br/><br/>Midway along the floor of the chamber, just right of the central pillar, was a large treasure chest with a third man-sized statue topping it. This one was in fact a man - proudly nude and conspicuously erect, and being a statue of three-dimensional relief rather than a flat painting or somesuch, by either darkvision it was recognisable from what the two knew as the statue of Adon.<br/><br/>Aria whispered as much; it<em>would</em>have been recognisable to Kass had she not perceived by blindsight a much larger solid shape around it and never the shape of the statue itself. Aria, by darkvision, instead saw a slightly translucent something around the statue, like it were encased in a great orb of glass almost as large as the magical sphere overhead.<br/><br/>""The statue's there! But there's a shape around it which radiates magic,"" Aria whispered. Kass would detect a slight quivering of that quite-solid-to-blindsight shape - it wasn't glass or a magical effect per se at all, but an ooze creature.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Ooh, fun! When Kass suggested burning the place I thought 'wish Aria had packed alchemical fire flasks', didn't notice Kass had them; perfect.<br/><br/>No, Mimicking Song / Inspire Courage won't end Invis.<br/><br/>Blindfolded girls:<br/>8x amulet<br/><br/>sw / ne women:<br/>2x headband<br/>4x ring<br/>2x wand<br/>nm (nonmagical): 4000 gp of gems, 2 keys<br/><br/>nw/se/central women:<br/>3x amulet<br/>3x circlet<br/>3x belt<br/>9x wand<br/>1x whip<br/>1x prayer bead strand<br/>nm: 9x chakrams, 3x dagger, 3x morningstar, 6000 gp of gems<br/><br/>(nothing on the nightwalker, and Aria hasn't seen any unattended magic items in the rooms so far)<br/><br/>Like in the library, the ground level squares of the north room, due to general clutter, provide cover (+2 AC, +1 reflex saves, like trees in a forest).<br/><br/>The room ceiling is 20' high (the middle rises to 35' with a hemispherical dome which is 30' across and 15' higher).<br/><br/>The three pillars (X) are 10' high, the first and third topped with statues, the middle one's top occluded with a Prismatic Sphere (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/prismaticsphere.htm) effect.<br/><br/>O = ooze creature, which appears to encase the statue of Adon and random barrels/chests. (Like with glass panes, the ooze is nearly transparent to normal vision, but opaque to blindsight).<br/>X = pillars<br/>(also, as may or may not be clear - the 'bottom row' of the room is a 6th row of traversable squares, even though they lack the dots . . . . . which mark most open squares.

I don't have...<br/><br/>Unless you think it'd be a waste of time in any of that, honestly?"

""That sounds more appealing than getting close to it ourselves...especially because, I should say, oozes are one of the most difficult sorts of monsters for me: can't deal precise damage without certain magic like my bracers...and I'm not sure which side would be their 'back' to sneak up on or get around to when they're distracted, you know...maybe I could get ethereally through the column - although that seems risky, I wouldn't want to phase in and be shunted into the surface of the sphere! Or we could use your or our items' dimension-door or teleport magic to go straight inside. The ward over the whole chamber seems constant and steady, but I can't tell what it does - the sight lets me see the presence of aura and their rough level of power, but not understand what they are exactly, the way detect-magic magic does for those more learned at such things. The statue is still magical; in fact it has two auras. And the blob and of course the prismatic sphere are magical.""<br/><br/>Kass's spell-knowledge, meanwhile, would deduce that the sphere might or might not drop were the pillar under it destroyed, depending on whether the sphere had been cast on and in effect centered on and 'affixed' to some subject-to-gravity object inside it such as a statue like those on the other pillars, or whether it'd been cast on on some point in space. She would also recall that one of a prismatic wall of sphere's several effects was to destroy objects passing through, and so the sphere did drop onto  the ooze, it might well slay it (as there was a good chance such a spell could slay most anything), but its 'violet' layer also might destroy the encased statue and other objects it touched (whether they passed into it, or anything currently inside it passed out).<br/><br/><br/><br/>The relayed info about PS is just from my own reading and inference, you may correct or infer otherwise from your reading.

She widened her eyes in surprise, looking around, waving her arms. She moved back, and resumed blinking - the effect hadn't been dispelled per se but suppressed; consistent with Kass's guess about the aura beign a teleportation ward. Aria moved forward again, and stopped blinking again, even when she tried to retrigger the ring. Great, another way to surprise the ooze unavailable...hopefully she could damage it fairly before it was cognizant of her as a threat (it hadn't yet attacked, after all) and was flat-footed; or perhaps she ought say, flat-pseudopodded.<br/><br/>The subtly quivering ooze did not react as Kass moved closer and around it, either unaware of her as she moved (but her extensive econdhand knowledge would, as she had been thinking, suggest that rather than 'seeing' her say they had an alternate sense like with her own blindfold). Aria then flitted into the air from the doorway,  and zoomed horizontally at the ooze, slicing across its gelatinous surface once she closed.<br/><br/><br/><br/>btw after tomorrow I'll likely be gone until Wednesday next week.<br/><br/>LOL flux slime. Crazy.<br/><br/>I forgot to mention when you asked last time: it's a Living Spell. (A template for, in essence, turning a particular spell or spells into an ooze.) Since it's possible to make a 1-HD one the Knowledge check to recognize the 'species' of creature is probably DC 11 so she always makes it.<br/><br/>Aria was unclear - what she was saying was that she<em>wasn't</em>sure flanking would help. It actually came off as the reverse of what I meant. (Aria doesn't know anything about oozes, she was just guessing it might be hard to flank since it has no visible 'front' and 'back'. Her Darkstalker feat does let her flank some normally-unflankable foes, like beholders, with all-around vision.) But it's still as good a strategy as any so Kass is in melee range, since oozes are immune to many bard attack spells (mind-affecting etc.)<br/><br/>I wasn't referring to the ""can't project stuff through it"" clause; rather, to the fact that stuff moving from the inside to the outside of the sphere is probably subject to the effects in the same manner as stuff moving inward from outside (it's a 'symmetric' / 'two-way' barrier.) In other words it's not that nothing can pass through it (as with a Wall of Force) - it's just that it probably won't survive<br/><br/>But you're probably right that it can't fall - ""the wall is immobile"" seems a clear enough clause. Was a clever idea though (to 'drop' it on an enemy).<br/><br/>Come to think of it, if it could fall, it would 'burn' a hole to the center of the planet, by destroying all the floor and ground underneath it and keep falling (the 'destroys all objects' - although it should be noted that that refers to 'unattended objects', gear worn/carried by a creature gets saves with the creature against almost everything). Unless there was a  distinction made between stuff moving though it vs it moving through stuff. Which there's not in classic Newtonian mechanics, but for certain magic effects like Repulsion, there is. (Generally designed hat way to 'force field' effects like Repulsion can't be used offensively to push things around.)<br/><br/>A moveable prismatic sphere would be an incredibly powerful weapon: cast it around yourself or something you wear, then run around and 'push' it through enemies, possibly several times in one move action. (This can be done with Silence, which is a great tactic vs spellcasters, since when you cast it on yourself rather than them, they get no save. They'll probably try to run out of it on their turn but then at least you get an AoO.)<br/><br/>Kass is right that the ooze can sense them (it has blindsight) despite their being invisible. We still get a surprise round b/c it's not its nature/programming to attack anything it senses, and as a mindless creature it's hard to explain it recognizing the threat of drawing a weapon or beginning the first attack (the reason you can't usually get a surprise round against people you've been parlaying with and decide to start attacking) - in other words it would be really weird if it won initiative and ended up attacking someone who hadn't attacked it yet.<br/><br/>Aria<br/>flies to hover in the middle of it at altitude 10', draw kurki and charge attack<br/>mod 36 (19 bab 10 dex 1 weapon 2 charge 4 inspire courage)<br/>atk 36 + 12r dmg 9<br/>(1d4+7 with inspire courage; no insightful strike or sneak attack dmg - once again the metagame=ish thing where she doesn't want to use a bracer charge on a 1-attack surprise round...I guess it can be explained as her 'confirming' that she needs to by making one attack and finding it not do much damage)<br/><br/>Init<br/>Kass 25<br/>Aria 21<br/>Ooze 18<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/>                     _____________________________________<br/>                    /. . .|. . . . .

The amorphous body parted like water, oozing across the floor and nearly opening as far as the statue embedded within.<br/><br/>Across  it, Aria triggered several of her items and, perceiving something esoteric about the ooze, sliced it with a particular timing and placing. The wobblings from Kass's blows seemed to amplify, and like a bridge marched upon by soldiers at just the right (or rather, wrong) frequently, the ooze's violent quivering seemed to shake itself apart. Smaller blobs of smile splattered and spread lifelessly across the floor - mercifully still; not becoming animated oozes unto themselves.<br/><br/>""Thanks!"" Aria whisper-called over the mess to Kass; she seemed quite relieved to see how well the bardess had been able to damage the thing, given the tenuousness of her own ability to do so for such creatures.<br/><br/>The tiefling sheathed her kukri and studied critically the exposed statue and where it stood, remarking, ""Doesn't seem trapped, thank the gods...""<br/><br/>The statue itself distended suddenly; at first it seemed like the slimy coating on it reanimating but it was in fact the statue itself. Its erect stone phallus lashed out, growing in length and reach like a striking snake, even bulging at the end and swinging around in a goo-coated slap at Aria's face.<br/><br/>The 'stone' cock smacked across the tiefling's pale cheek with a hard bruising crunch, spinning her, and leaving trails of nigh-transparent ooze-fluid which hung from her lips and nose and chin in stretching arcs as the attacking organ continued past and Aria spun. The entire body of the statue - and the large chest it'd stood on - were shifting organically all of a sudden; their motions malleable, but not so amorphous as the ooze's. Kass would guess that this was the aberration known as a Mimic, infamous for disguising itself as treasure or doorways or other things which humanoid 'prey' might approach.<br/><br/>The slimed Aria wanted to growl but kept her lips pinched tight, drawing kukris and laying into the thing with a half-dozen shallow slashes. It wobbled and swayed gamily, and like with the satyrs it seemed impossible to hit any particular point she aimed for.

After studying the prismatic sphere another moment and frowning, she said to Kass, ""I remember you dispelling the giantess's mirror images and what a lifesaver that was...can the sphere be dispelled? And-or maybe the ward over the chamber, if it's what's blocking ethereal travel and might block teleports? Hmm, didn't you detect magic before too; if you used that had light to see by could you learn about what the ward does? And if we do manage to teleport inside, we might want to do so flying, like you did with the runestaff, in case there's nothing to stand on inside the sphere, or the weight destabilizes something.

So, when you combine a lot of them, you get things like 2x charimsa to both attack (slippers and snowflake) and damage (slippers and the heartfelt blows).<br/><br/>If you wish to increase her dmg more, the one other thing I can think of is items like Aria's for doing a full attack charge (the Lion's Charge spell Keela knew) or swift-action movement, so that she can 'trigger' the slipper's condition of 10' movement and still full attack. It makes less of a difference vs higher AC foes, where the 2nd and 3rd attacks are less likely to hit; full attacking is more important with TWF (since TWF requires a full attack to get any benefit from at all), which is why Aria is so 'invested' in such items. I don't know of any to do it an unlimited number of times per day, but at this level a substantial number of uses per day is affordable. (I guess one expensive option would be an item to cast a metamagicked Lion's Charge with Persist Spell to make it last 24 hours. Would be fairly expensive, and annoying if it got dispelled.)<br/><br/>Also Kass knows Haste, so that would give her an extra attack. May or may not be worth a round when combat has already started, but in cases where you have prep rounds (and don't think the verbal component will tip off whomever you're ambushing) it's great.<br/><br/>"

A prismatic wall or wall of force doesn't stop them b/c they are never going through (the line drawn between the origin and destination just happens to pass through). For example you could also scry on someone inside a prismatic sphere, or outside while you're inside. The scry and teleport spells don't go along the line between the points, they just begin at one and end at the other.

""is that it!?"" Aria gasped, ""one magic aura...but it's much stronger...overpowering....this is either the real thing or something else of legendary power. And I don't think it's a creature like the mimic, or if it is it's one that knows no spells."" She tapped it with a kukri, to no response. She admired the 'abs' of 'Adon' with a lick of her lips, and then gestured to the erect stone phallus just beneath. ""I guess one way to test it would be get sick and go down on it, heh heh."" She wiped some of the drying veneer of slime from her chin.<br/><br/><br/>(Kass can't see the aura is gone after casting the dispel, b/c Detect Magic requires concentration. Specifically, maintaining concentration is a standard action each round to maintain, so using another standard action spell 'breaks' it.

Adon's head, then the bleedin' rest of him!<br/><br/>""Oh dear sweet Sune<em>thank you!</em>"" she exclaimed with relief as she heard what Aria had to say ""I was going to<em>scream</em>if we could find nothing of him in there!""<br/><br/>One aura?  That was about right.  Overpowering?  Would make sense for such an artifact.  Not a mimic; of that Kass was certain.  This... this was indeed it... or a<em>very</em>good imposter... and again Aria was right that they needed to check, and the best way to do that...<br/><br/>Then it hit her, or more accurately, the adrenaline in her body dropped out, she suddenly found herself sluggish and a bit slow, quite tired even compared to before.  Man was she tired... not exhausted, but still... focusing on that particular combat style of hers took it's toll on her when she put her all into it, but she always recovered...<br/><br/>""Oh!  I... think I know how to test it!""

The first was a bastard sword that felt surprisingly light, and when unsheathed from its scabbard, glowed. Its pommel and crossguard had spherical gems which each looked like a sun unto themselves, and at the center of the crossguard on both sides was etched what Kass would recognize as the sun-disc symbol of Lathander, god of sun and birth and light and a nemesis of Shar. The sword was quite unsurprisingly magic-aura'ed, like the next weapon: much smaller, but not much lighter than the sword had been: a gray-sheathed dagger with a blade of gleaming silver. Its pommel had a moonstone, spherical but etched with a symbol of seven stars surrounding feminine eyes: the symbol of Selune, not a but<em>the</em>nemesis of Shar. Kass's just-now hopeful prayers to certain deities had been prophetic and appropriate indeed, it seemed.<br/><br/>Next they found a harp of brass and gold, about a foot in length, curved in the traditional ear-like shape, and at one end of its arc etched with a symbol of Lathander probably done by the same metalworker as that on the sword. The fourth and last magic-aura'ed item was a folded wizardly robe of shimmering, glittering hues which gave the strong impression that in normal light they would have been many-colored, if not<em>every</em>-colored.<br/><br/>They found also, nonmagical but possibly no less valuable than any of the others, a coffer of gems and jewelry, including two symbols of Lathander and two of Selune; the sixth and last item was a book; Aria glanced in, and mentioned, ""Written in Celestial...some sort of journal; I see dates but no years, but it looks decades old."" The tiefling briefly inverted the bag to empty again, confirming they'd found everything in it before beginning to place everything back.<br/><br/><br/><br/>LOL!

I think it's listening only (as in, not reading), b/c while 'understanding' would include both, it refers to other creatures (i.e. you understand the creature, not the language itself) (and yes, I realize that almost all written text was originally created by some creature).  And circumstantially, the fact that Comprehend Languages specifically says it does confer the reading suggests that Tongues, b/c it doesn't say so, doesn't.<br/><br/>Amusingly, if a person knew how to pronounce a certain written language aloud, then they could do so and someone else could perhaps understand *them*. In RL there are of course lots of languages that share approximate alphabets and pronouncing rules (Spanish/French/Italian etc.) but the DnD languages (I think) all have their own alphabets (there's no mechanic for being able to pronounce the characters if a language you don't know) so it's moot.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria found herself aroused from the moment Kass went to her knees, and from there the performance grew only the more erotic.

Aria groaned more than few times as the bardess's head bobbed, tail twitching even as she glanced between the doors of the chamber.<br/><br/>She would not be able to witness the fruits of Kass's art: the bardess would feel no physical liquid gush into her mouth, yet a sudden phantom texture and taste - like the sort of sudden, vivid memory brought upon by a smell or memento. Yet it was not quite the taste of mortal human ejaculate one might remember, but a heavenly saffron and sugary taste, like spiced bee-honey had been spurted into her mouth. Kass would feel her muscles and nerves almost seem to lift and lighten, like when one falls to bed weary and it seems but a single eye-blink later one has awoken quite refreshed.<br/><br/>This was followed by a sound perceptible to herself and Aria as well: the tiefling would've sworn, although the statue never moved, that she heard a sigh from that masculine marble face - and that it was smiling just a bit more than before."

This revealed a quarters with two bookshelves and a bed to either side, and not two occupants, but four. Across the room's fifth piece of furniture, a small two-chaired table, was bent a female drow. Her ivory hail flew about wildly, flinging sweat droplets across the room. Smooth ebon skin was glad in dark short-skirted and many-pocketed robes like two of the women in the central sanctuary. These robes were rather more disheveled: the front open to expose breasts press flat to the table surface, and the skirt pulled up to expose a bare hindquarters; black panties had been pulled down to her ankles which hung a few inches above the floor.<br/><br/>At either end of her stood a satyr garbed like the two in the sparring chamber save for opened pants-fronts. They clutched the cheeks or ass cheeks of the drowess respectively, and unhesitatingly pounded one set of lips or another with girthsome organs. It was perhaps surprising how loudly the drowess was able to vocalize her wild passions despite the one filling her mouth, but vocalize she did.<br/><br/>Behind the other satyr stood a second drowess, massaging his broad shoulders with one hand, horse-whipping his goat-like flanks with the other, and snarling 'encouragement' into his ear.

"" 'Tis like Shar herself scolding us!"" the fellated fey shrieked, ""Away, away!""<br/><br/>The one in the drowess's nethers sprained his own organ by yanking it out overhastily and at an awkward angle - as it turned out, she had tensed up rather suddenly with her own measure of fright, and with a loud wet ""PFFFT!"" spat the thick cock of the other satyr out from her oral orifice. She began scrambling off the table while the other drowess growled, cupped a long ear, and pressed her own back to the wall.<br/><br/>Cupping hands over his pride, the sprained fey threw himself into a corner of the room, crouching and tittering; the no-longer-blown satyr similarly threw himself without a shred of dignity flat to the wall, staring at Kass and shrieking like a little girl, his organ glistening-wet and limp as a dead fish.<br/><br/>Aria twirled around the edge of the doorway, grabbing it with her free hand for leverage to swing a leg up to crescent-kick the doubly-penetrated drowess across the temple. She phased out, reappearing with her leg past the dark lady, but brought her heel back to kick her other temple. The half-naked drowess rolled along the table and fell off the far side, quite unconscious, and as Aria planted the leg again she threw the other up in its place. The boot-tip struck the other drowess's chin (caked with half-dried cum, she noticed - perhaps when they'd first passed this way and heard the shrieks,<em>she</em>had been on the table instead)? and knocked the crown of her skull against the wall she'd pressed herself to. The drowess slid down the wall, as unconscious as the other.<br/><br/>In her free hand Aria drew a kukri and back-and-forth sliced across the throat of the pitifully frozen-against-the-wall satyr, and her other hand dropped the hammer for a second kukri to make similar, lower (in several manners of speaking) slices across the crouching and trembling satyr. Indigo life-blood flowed from the opened throat and he crumpled in silence.<br/><br/>It was weird, the way the room was so loud with spell-wails and moral shrieks one moment, and then suddenly quite silent but for liquid trickling.

HD/HP, skills, and ability score increases (one every 4 levels) continue normally.<br/><br/>Feats continue normally (one every three levels), except epic feats can now be chosen as well (if their specific prereqs are met.)<br/><br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm)<br/><br/>Epic Bard also gets an epic bonus feat at 23rd level and every 3 levels thereafter. This is in addition to the 'general' feats and from a certain list (sort of like fighter bonus feats). Bards also progress their caster level and some of their class features. I believe Bardic Knack and the sonic echoblade bonus damage will continue at 1/2 bard level, including the epic levels.  Bard, like all other spellcasters, doesn't automatically gain extra spell slots or spells known after 20th, but the Improved Spell Capacity and Spell Knowledge feats can be used to gain more. If you gain a 7th level slot with Improved Spell Capacity, you'd also get a bonus slot or slots from having a high Charisma. Higher level slots can be used for lower level spells, and-or for metamagic'ed versions of lower level spells if you have metamagic feats. (Or you could power higher-level runestaff spells with them.)<br/><br/>Most epic classes are like this: fewer 'default' new class features / improvements, but epic bonus feats which are like customizable class features (such as the feats for new uses of bardic music.)<br/><br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/classProgressions.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/classProgressions.htm)"

This extraordinary ability allows its possessor to reroll one roll that she just made. She must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll.<br/><br/>Sun Blade<br/>This sword is the size of a bastard sword. However, a sun blade is wielded as if it were a short sword with respect to weight and ease of use. (In other words, the weapon appears to all viewers to be a bastard sword, and deals bastard sword damage, but the wielder feels and reacts as if the weapon were a short sword.) Any individual able to use either a bastard sword or a short sword with proficiency is proficient in the use of a sun blade. Likewise, Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization in short sword and bastard sword apply equally, but the benefits of those feats do not stack.<br/><br/>In normal combat, the glowing golden blade of the weapon is equal to a +2 bastard sword. Against evil creatures, its enhancement bonus is +4. Against Negative Energy Plane creatures or undead creatures, the sword deals double damage (and ×3 on a critical hit instead of the usual ×2).<br/><br/>The blade also has a special sunlight power. Once per day, the wielder can swing the blade vigorously above her head while speaking a command word. The sunblade then sheds a bright yellow radiance that is like full daylight. The radiance begins shining in a 10-foot radius around the sword wielder and extends outward at 5 feet per round for 10 rounds thereafter, to create a globe of light with a 60-foot radius. When the wielder stops swinging, the radiance fades to a dim glow that persists for another minute before disappearing entirely. All sun blades are of good alignment, and any evil creature attempting to wield one gains one negative level. The negative level remains as long as the sword is in hand and disappears when the sword is no longer wielded. This negative level never results in actual level loss, but it cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the sword is wielded.<br/><br/>Solarharp<br/>This masterwork instrument provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform (string instruments) checks made with it. A performer with available daily uses of the bardic music ability may by playing the harp use spell-like abilities which duplicate the effects of certain spells. The performer uses an action of the same type as the casting time of the associated spell to make a successful Perform (string instruments) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell level. With a successful check, the performer may then duplicate the spell by expending a number of daily uses of bardic music equal to 1 + the spell's level. The caster level of the spell is the performer's total level in classes which grant or progress the bardic music class feature (in addition to any innate bardic music level, such as a Lillend's). This must be at least the minimum requires to cast the spell normally (generally once less than twice the spell level) to cast the spell at all. The spell effect has saving throw DCs (if any) are 10 + the spell level + the performer's Charisma modifier. This harp can be used to duplicate the following spell effects: Daylight (3rd level), Searing Light (3rd level), Sunbeam (7th level), Sunburst (8th level).<br/><br/>Lunarhilt<br/>This +1 alchemical silver dagger can be cast the following spells on command. 5/day - Faerie Fire, Light of Lunia, Moon Lust (CL 1st), 3/day - Moonblade (CL 5th); 2/day - Orb of Force (CL 7th); 1/day - Moonbow (CL 9th). When the Moonblade spell is used, the evocated moonblade extends from the dagger's hilt and subsumes the physical blade.<br/><br/>Robe of Scintillating Colors<br/>The wearer of this robe can cause the garment to display a shifting pattern of incredible hues, color after color cascading from the upper part of the robe to the hem in sparkling rainbows of dazzling light. The colors daze those near the wearer, conceal the wearer, and illuminate the surroundings. It takes 1 full round after the wearer speaks the command word for the colors to start flowing on the robe. The colors create the equivalent of a gaze attack with a 30-foot range. Those who look at the wearer are dazed for 1d4+1 rounds (Will DC 16 negates). This is a mind-affecting pattern effect.<br/><br/>Every round of continuous scintillation of the robe gives the wearer better concealment. The miss chance on attacks against the wearer starts at 10% and increases by 10% each round until it reaches 50% (total concealment).<br/><br/>The robe illuminates a 30-foot radius continuously.<br/><br/>The effect can be used no more than a total of 10 rounds per day.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>enemy<br/>item / sell price / quantity<br/><br/>sirines<br/>ring of disguise 900 4<br/>ring of feather falling 1100 4<br/>blindfold of true darkness 4500 4<br/><br/>impresario<br/>glamered +4 mithral chain shirt 9850 1<br/>cloak of resistance +3 4500 1<br/>ring of feather falling 1100 1<br/>ring of telekinesis 37500 1<br/>skull: +5 competence obnus on Perform (oratory) 1250 1<br/>wand of no light, 6c (6 charges) 45 1<br/>wand of grease, 2c 1080 1<br/>wand of knock, 26c 1170 1<br/>wand of black tentacles, 6c 1260 1<br/><br/>doormen and sparring man<br/>monk's belt 6500 3<br/>bracers of armor +3 4500 3<br/>amulet of natural armor +2 and constitution +2 6000 3<br/>blindfold of true darkness 4500 3<br/><br/>mastiffs<br/>chain shirt barding +2 2350 2<br/><br/>sparring satyrs<br/>composite shortbow (str rating +3) +1 1300 2<br/>chain shirt +2 2200 2<br/>stone of good fortunre 7000 2<br/><br/>wizards/esses (1 in sparring room, 2 in sanctuary)<br/>headband of intellect +4 8000 3<br/>ring of deflection +2 4000 3<br/>amulet of natural armor +2 4000 3<br/>wand of lesser vigor 50c 375 3<br/><br/>acolytes<br/>periapt of wisdom +2 2000 8<br/><br/>archpriestesses<br/>amulet of natural armor +2 and constitution +2 6000 3<br/>circlet of wisdom +4 8000 3<br/>wand of lesser vigor 50c 375 3<br/>monk's belt 6500 3<br/>wand of remove fear, 7c 52.5 1<br/>wand of remove paralysis, 13c 585 1<br/>wand remove blindness/deafness, 20c 2250 1<br/>wand of remove curse, 42c 4725 1<br/>wand of remove disease, 8c 900 1<br/>wand of neutralize poison, 2c 225 1<br/>whip +1 spell storing, w/ Bestow Curse (CL 13th, DC 19) 4155 1<br/>strand of prayer beads with healing, karma, and wind walk 37900 1<br/><br/>mimic<br/>ring of freedom of movement 20000<br/>necklace of adaptation 4500<br/><br/>prismatic sphere<br/>bag of holding type IV 5000 1<br/>gems in coffer 120000 1<br/>robe of scintillating colors 13500 1<br/>sunblade 25167.5 1<br/>moonhilt 30157.5 1<br/>solar harp 19525 1<br/><br/>satyrs<br/>composite shortbow (str rating +3) +1 1300 2<br/>chain shirt +2 2200 2<br/>pipes of sounding 900 1<br/>pipes of haunting 3000 1<br/>pipes of pain 6000 1<br/><br/>drowesses<br/>headband of intellect +4 8000 2<br/>ring of deflection +2 4000 2<br/>amulet of natural armor +2 4000 2<br/>wand of lesser vigor 50c 375 2<br/>wand of water breathing, 2c 225 1<br/>wand of restoration, 28c 3380 1<br/><br/>temple art objects 5000 1<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>total sell value:   621602.5 gp<br/>each share:   310801.25 gp"

Kass loved it when she got away with things of any sort, and killing off an enemy of Sune, Selune, and Sharess was something<em>beyond</em>anything she'd ever gotten away with.  In a way, it was a bit of a thrill for her... and when she was thrilled she usually got horny, but she'd have to save it for later.<br/><br/>Starting at the tavern, they queried about inns and magic-item-dealers, and then they were off to the nicer, wealthier portion of town, to<em>The Stern Prow</em>in a nifty little townhouse.   Kass readied herself to relax, singing a bit as Aria worked on the magical items via the monocle she got from the dragon, but it wasn't too long a mission before Kass and the lovely Aria were in bed, Kass as naked as the day she was born, of course.  What other way was there to sleep, anyway?<br/><br/><hr/><br/>It was morning when she awoke, and she awoke to an empty bed.  She pouted a bit as she rolled over onto her back, wrapping herself into the covers a bit more, which is when she heard the door open.  Opening her eyes a sliver, she noticed Aria, and after that she noted the small young lass behind her, wearing nothing but an apron (and Aria was holding her clothing).  She smiled a bit, loving this sight in the morning, and watched the blushing girl set the tray of breakfast upon the bed at her feet.  The girl was sweet and adorable, the sort of little minx that Kass loved to seduce and bend to will, so to speak.  Oh... and she'd never what now?<br/><br/>Kass began to sit up as Aria cupped the woman's ass and encouraged her, and she chuckled happily as she mentioned her being 'taught' by Kass in no uncertain terms.  As she sat up, Kass' body was revealed more and more, all but below her hips navel where the covers sat still, and she gave the woman a subtle wink before stretching, letting the cute little thing take in her toned, shapely form from the front at least.<br/><br/>""Mmm... Aria, you brought me breakfast... and would she be my dessert?  You<em>really</em>act like a proper servant, your lover is a lucky woman, Aria, if you bring her her sweetest dreams as early in the morning as you've brought me mine.""<br/><br/>She motioned for the young woman, to come to her, and patted the bed next to her, signaling that she wanted to woman to take a seat next to her.<br/><br/>""Whom are you sweety?  Don't be shy, and I know you're nervous; I can see it on your face, though I promise you don't need to be with me."" Kass said, a sweet, soothing smile across her lips as she again motioned for the bed ""Come, sit next to me, and bring the food; all I want for now is for you to sit with me, feed me, and talk with me, alright darling?  You can start by telling me what you've never done... have you never been with a woman before?  Perhaps you've never been with<em>anyone</em>before?  Or... maybe you've never been paid for such 'services' before?  Please talk with me dear, tell me your worries, and I'll do my best to ease them...""<br/><br/>Okay, going over the items first off, here is what I think we should keep for certain for each of us total...<br/><br/>wand of lesser vigor 50c 375 8<br/>wand of water breathing, 2c 225 1<br/>wand of restoration, 28c 3380 1<br/>wand of remove fear, 7c 52.5 1<br/>wand of remove paralysis, 13c 585 1<br/>wand remove blindness/deafness, 20c 2250 1<br/>wand of remove curse, 42c 4725 1<br/>wand of remove disease, 8c 900 1<br/>wand of neutralize poison, 2c 225 1<br/>wand of no light, 6c (6 charges) 45 1<br/>wand of grease, 2c 1080 1<br/>wand of knock, 26c 1170 1<br/>wand of black tentacles, 6c 1260 1<br/>stone of good fortune 7000 2 (one each)<br/>blindfold of true darkness 4500 2 (one each)<br/><br/>Now for me, here's what I'm thinking of taking...<br/><br/>ring of telekinesis 37500 1 (with the CHA I have, this would make me a goddamn Jedi ^_^)<br/>ring of freedom of movement 20000 1 (Could be useful to have, since grapples and slow/paralysis are the things she's most susceptible to)<br/>moonhilt 30157.5 1 (sounds interesting as well, but would I be able to combine it with either the Echoblade, by chance?  Would be interesting to have otherwise)<br/><br/>Things I'm<em>not</em>as sure about are the Solar Harp and the Sun Blade... what would you suggest on these?<br/><br/>I'm working on leveling her (we did sleep after all), and I also have to go back through and record all the items she's got (was a bit lax on that, but I'll fix that shortly)"

Clearly she hadn't anticipated her being naked in bed, but in retrospect, given the situation, it suddenly seemed like it shouldn't have surprised her. She set the tray across the bed and sat upon its edge in one smooth but shy motion. ""Well...."" she spoke softly, ""...the most succinct way to put it is, Aria's putting a finger in my bosom and cupping my rear, just now, was by far the most I've experienced in the ways of such things. But I'd heard from one of the other serving girls just how tantalizingly good the money can be; she said the only reason she kept her job here was to meet clients, and...""<br/><br/>Aria smiled, ""I overheard Elia here whispering with a third girl about it just now; 'twas what gave the idea..."" she rubbed her chin, and sat in the room's sole chair, watching avidly. ""Come to think upon it, if Tsurlagol is a pirate port like Luskan, I can well believe there's a brisk trade for such."" She waggled a finger, ""...but mark my warning, take care when dealing with that rough lot, or avoid entirely, or you're like to find yourself stolen out to sea, passed about the whole filthy crew and scrubbing decks when not so used!"" She leaned forward, elbows on her thighs, and rubbed her hands as she grinned, ""...which is precisely why, if you dare to ply such a trade, 'tis best you learn skills enough to command only the deeper-pocketed, generally less uncouth, sort of gentlemen!""<br/><br/><br/><br/>In case it makes a difference in your thinking, for the vast majority of magic items, including the ring of telekinesis, the DC is 10 + the level of the spell or effect + the ability modifier of the minimum ability score needed to cast that level of spell. That ability score is 10 + spell level, which has a modifier of 1/2 spell level, for a DC of 10 + 3/2 spell level; for levels 1-9 that's 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23. But the ring could still be very useful: a 20th level barbarian/fighter/paladin/ranger/rogue still has a base Will save of +6, for example, and Telekinesis also has noncombat uses, like efficiently moving stuff around. Also interesting to note is it's one of few Will spells that aren't enchantment or mind-affecting. (Oozes, constructs, plants, and vermin are immune to mind-affecting effects but tend to have mediocre Will saves.)<br/><br/>Staves have user-based DCs, which otherwise are very rare, like the 'stunning surge' weapon property and the solar harp (custom by me) are very rare. (From http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicItemBasics.htm#savingThrowsAgainstMagicItemPowers (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicItemBasics.htm#savingThrowsAgainstMagicItemPowers) ). Runestaves also have user-based DCs (the runestaff of Zeus had Telekinesis, so that can be used for higher-DC / CL Telekiensis, at the cost of a 5th level slot.)<br/><br/>Item caster levels are specified in the descriptions, and are virtually always equal to the minimum requires to cast the spell (usually 2 x spell level - 1), and usually the price of items is linear in caster level. The ring of telekinesis is an example of this (caster level 9th) (almost all the magic items are from the SRD.)<br/><br/>The Moonblade spell conjures a separate weapon (the spell is similar to Flame Blade) which replaces (doesn't add to) the effects of the dagger. (Putting it on a powerful weapon like the echoblade wouldn't confer any particulzr advantage.). It's a 'normal' version of the spell except it uses the same hand to 'wield' as is holding the dagger (whereas when you cast the spell normally you use a free hand, probably the one used to cast the spell). The other spells are separate attacks/effects (mostly ranged touch attacks) that are not melee weapon related.<br/><br/>The Moonblade spell isn't particularly powerful as a weapon, but its main use is that spellcasters hit with it risk losing any spell they try to cast on their next turn. So it's potentially quite good when fighting a spellcaster. (It also has an advantage in that its attacks are touch attacks, i.e. ignore armor and natural armor.)<br/><br/>I agree on her keeping/using the ring of freedom of movement. It's a great buff. She has dimension door as an ace in the hole (only requires a verbal component) but FoM is still very useful (saves the turn and spell slot from DD; prevents any initial grappling 'crush' /unarmed damage; DD could be prevented by a Silence or Dimensional Anchor effect; FoM protects vs other things like slow and paralysis.) I almost had Aria start with an FoM ring (but didn't b/c her blink ring and mind blank casting item have similar protections.) I agree it's currently one of Kass's potential vulnerabilities - grapples, and Fort-save things it would prevent like some paralysis effects. Also nice if she ever fights underwater, since she has a slashing weapon and some slashing-specific abilities.<br/><br/>I say keep the solar harp; Kass can use it (note that she'll make the perform check 20/20 times, despite 'only' having bardic knack for Perform (strings) and it not being one of her maxed performs) and some of those spells are very useful. Sunbeam and Sunburst are area blinding (+ modest damage) spells are IMO potentially extremely good. (Sunbeam lets you fire beams for several rounds, so it's line several spells in one, and Sunburst affects a huge 80' radius area.) Searing Light is probably not useful (not really more damage than her regular attacks); Daylight has tactical uses sometimes (like when you can't see, or want to negate darkness-dependent foe abilities like Hide in Plain Sight), although the blindsight blindfold serves many of the same purposes.<br/><br/>As you could probably tell it's a custom item - it's based on the runestaves except using bardic music instead of spell slots; the conversion factor (1 + spell level) was based on the Lyric Spell feat (from Complete Adventurer; convert bardic music  uses into extra spells.)<br/><br/>The sunblade is generally weaker than Kass's sword, except maybe better against undead (close call with her weapon's higher enhancement bonus and sonic damage), and there's the Daylight effect .<br/><br/>If Kass doesn't want it, Aria might try using it (it's better than her +1 kukri except for the kukri's wider threat range, which is very important when Telling Blow is her only way to get sneak attack and moderately important in other cases), as the sort of thing she wouldn't normally buy herself, but if she doesn't have other stuff to do with her money, she might as well keep it 'til then (as I've mentioned before, the way the money divvying system works, one person deciding to keep or sell something has no effect on the share of the other, since its sell value is part of their share.)<br/><br/>Take your time on leveling Kass up, especially if you're undecided on her new feat.<br/><br/>Oh, and you don't need to calculate her liquid loot with stuff deducted, I can do that very easily (have a spreadsheet).<br/><br/><br/>Aria will take:<br/>'split' the wands like you said<br/>one each fortunestone like you said<br/>blindfold of true darkness<br/>ring of disguise, ring of featherfalling (will start using once she has a chance to get an item crafter to 'deslot' them, i.e. make them slotless for 2x the price)<br/>maybe the prayer beads<br/><br/><br/>Faerie Fire and all the harp spells are core, the other dagger spells are below.<br/><br/><br/>MOON LUST<br/>Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-Affecting]<br/>Level: Cleric 1<br/>Components: V, S, F<br/>Casting Time: 1 standard action<br/>Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)<br/>Target: One living creature<br/>Duration: 1 round/level<br/>Saving Throw: Will partial<br/>Spell Resistance: Yes<br/>Forcefully presenting a silver ingot in your<br/>hand, you extol the virtues of the moon’s<br/>beauty in a language both beautiful and<br/>dead.

Instead of having a fixed number of charges, a runestaff may be used to cast its contained spells up to three days times a day each, when the wielder expends an unused arcane spell slot or prepared spell of the same or higher spell level. The Runestaff of Zeus may be used to cast the following spells: arc of lightning (4th), cone of cold (5th), fly (3rd), lightning bolt (3rd), resist energy (1st), telekinesis (5th), teleport (5th)."

If you are interested in it, then my suggestion would be for a 'sequel' campaign after some game time delay, where you've designed her 'group' (and possibly their 'stronghold' / 'base') and the I come up with some plot that involves it (defending it vs a raid, them going on a group journey / pilgrimage, etc.). OTOH many (most?) people just use the cohort part generally, which is not that different from having an animal companion / special mount / extra party member. I advise against taking it and managing a cohort a/o followers just b/c you think it represents her personality (high charisma, Diplomacy etc. represent that as well), and only if the actual effects of it also seem of interest (like having a mount via a cohort).<br/><br/>For other feats I like both the bardic music feats (quite a few, I just did a CTRL+F for 'bardic music' on the epic feats page (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm) to go through them), or spelllcasting feats (maybe Improved Spell Capacity since she's been using a lot of her higher-level spell slots; note that you also get bonus slots for high Cha for the new spell level(s) so it'd be 2 extra 7th or 8th level spells) or Great Charisma since she has a lot of Charisma-synergy.<br/><br/>Some of my favorite-looking BM feats are Lasting Inspiration and Ranged Inspiration (available at 22nd level) and Hindering Song (27th). Available at 21st is Deafening Song (a prereq of Hindering) - the 20% chance to foil spellcasts may not look great, but one other sneaky use of it is in conjunction with (Greater) Invis so that foes can't see or hear you (and some blindsense/sight is foiled by silence or deafness). They'd know something is deafening them, but not be able to pinpoint your square. There may be some other uses for it.<br/><br/>Rings of Wizardry can also be used to increase spell slots, although they're quite expensive (100K to double 4th level slots, 250K for 5th, 360 for 6th)."

""Though, hmm, the illusion doesn't change my clothes and gear - so if they don't already know what we look like, it doesn't necessarily help. Maybe if we end up wanting to assume the guise of people they know, like staff at their inn, or somesuch.""<br/><br/>""Well, I think it's a clever plan, and if we found out a way you can 'approach' them as a courtesan, go for it. And I'll try to keep in earshot, and maybe as we go about town questioning, we can work out some 'duress' and 'code' words you can use if, for example, I'm listening through a wall or from around a corner and you need to signal to me you're in trouble or it's the right time for an ambush. If I'm across a wall, I can blink through it to ambush. Or you could turn me invisible - though that'd be counterproductive if the wizard has permanencied invisibility-seeing, most of those who do are true wizards unlike myself.""<br/><br/><br/>lol, I didn't notice one of Aria's original rings had the same disguise ability as the one she kept (though obviously she'd be offering it to Kass anyway). The rings of disguise are the same as the SRD 'hat of disguise', Disguise Self (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/disguiseSelf.htm) at will (AFAICT no effect on gear).<br/><br/>Alter Self (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/alterSelf.htm) which Kass knows appears to give the option of absorbing pieces of gear/clothes or not.<br/>"

The contact of her lips to his phallus had him shuddering and sighing with great delight. ""Thus, your proper place,"" he stroked her hair, then patted her head somewhat condescendingly, like one petting a cat or daughter. His face seemed genuinely impressed though, with how ardently and exotically her tongue began to twirl about, how her face seemed so decadently worshipful of the cock against her face - and the bliss of its physical sensations once inside her mouth, pursed, wet, and succulently sucked.<br/><br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>Following streets around corners caused Aria to cut not a perfectly straight path following the compass, but in a way it was as well: as her direction changed the movement of the compass allowed her to triangulate and guesstimate Kass's distance, which the compasses never showed directly. And anyway, every block she traveled was a chance to seek what they sought; she passed one more inn as she went, briefly inquiring within about any guests with the traits they knew of, to no avail.<br/><br/>She rather loved what she'd seen of the architecture and the humor of the people so far - independent and ambitious but not cravenly so in most cases, her first impression - and rather wished she had naught to do but sightsee.<br/><br/>Finally she came to a corner whence, passing around it, the movement of the needle was sufficiently drastic that she could infer that Kass was 'within' that same block. As she went down the street, the needle moved closer to perpendicular to the storefront walls, until  finally she stood before the single-windowed 'Dryad's Den'. The present angle of the needle pointed in, and its angle just before turning the corner had shown Kass to be but a few dozen feet back - she was in the store, not behind it - and, by rotating the compass vertically, evidently not above or below ground. Hmm - the other compass<em>was</em>a few feet below her own....<br/><br/>Aria took care to peek around the edge of the window, hoping not to be seen by anyone inside - but she could see no one anyway. Perhaps Kass was inquiring about previous customers with some back room employee. Aria used her illusory ring to shift her hair to raven black, eyes to emerald green, soften and tan her face beyond casual recognition. Most importantly, she assumed a set of workaday lady's clothes, a shopgirl's or secretary's perhaps, with no evidence of her favorite and currently out-of-haversack weapons.<br/><br/>The handle wouldn't turn; Aria glanced about and seeing no undue attention on herself, simply activated her blink ring and phased through. She stood stone-still for a moment, listening - apparently to wet sucking sounds from behind the same indigo curtain to which the compass pointed. Through it she could sense a stunning number of magic auras, some rather strong.<br/><br/>This might be it, she realized! Or was Kass simply being<em>very</em>creative in her efforts to suck information out of some shopkeep?<br/><br/>The tiefling padded softly to the left wall, to approach the curtain at as shallow an angle as possible, lest she be glimpsed. As she drew closer, the noises grew more vivid; faint feminine breathing and not-faint-at-all masculine breathing. Between the sounds and the compass angle, Kass was kneeling in there; Aria went almost flat to the wall near the curtain, drew the Selunite dagger and a plain hammer, and listened while regularly reactivating her blinking state.<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>The man nearly went cross-eyed and erupted in a more-than-whispered utterance, ""Salty balls of Talos!"" He doubled over forward partway, watching both Kass's bobbing head below and his partner's coy smile across the dressing room, and feeling his loins release mightily. The organ pulsated against the wet warm surfaces of the mouth which enveloped and pleasured it, and the tip spurted long, slick, slightly acidic and almost citrus-flavored cum across the back of Kass's tongue. He angled up slightly and began to splash against the back of her throat, while his partner laughed smugly, ""That's it! See if you can trigger the gag reflex of our little suck-slut...""<br/><br/>Behind her, the curtain flew aside suddenly. A raven-haired lass drifted as much as stepped into view, whipping a silvery white beam or sword - it seemed like both spell and weapon - in from overhead. It drove through his throat; the man clutched haplessly at himself, unable to speak or breathe, and all went from silvery-white to black.<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/><em>Sometimes I feel like I'm falling through a moment I've lived before...deja vu?</em><br/><br/>The man nearly went cross-eyed and erupted in a more-than-whispered utterance, ""Salty balls of Talos!"" He doubled over forward partway, watching both Kass's bobbing head below and his partner's coy smile across the dressing room, and feeling his loins release mightily. The organ pulsated against the wet warm surfaces of the mouth which enveloped and pleasured it, and the tip spurted long, slick, slightly acidic and almost citrus-flavored cum across the back of Kass's tongue. He angled up slightly and began to splash against the back of her throat, while his partner laughed smugly, ""That's it! See if you can trigger the gag reflex of our little suck-slut...""<br/><br/>Even amidst such an epic orgasm, the man had found his imagination preoccupied with the images a female assassin running his throat through with a spell-sword. He gasped even as his hips pushed against Kass's face before he drew back out, a long arc of cum dangling between phallic tip and lower lip. His hands flew up with the fingers curling, a clear precursor to spellcasting. His upper body seemed to sway and his eyes, as they had with the tossed coin-pouch and the drunk youths, seemed to follow something through the air - toward him, in this case - even though nothing was there; a phantomime dodge.<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>Aria, listening, heard both masculine swearing and grunts, then something from the female who wasn't Kass - he was probably orgasming, or in any case seemed especially distracted.<br/><br/>She triggered the moonblade magic of the dagger, watching as the short stiletto blade became obscured within an extending rapier 'blade' of pure moonlight, or so it seemed.<br/><br/>Holding it for a split-second more around the edge of the wall, she moved the rest of her body slit parallel to the curtain, which with the hammer she pushed aside.<br/><br/>The sight would've been rather amusing in circumstances where the population and structures of the city around them might not've hung in the balance. As it was, Aria sized up the scene within about as quickly as one would hope of one who made a career of ambushes.<br/><br/>In a blink of her mind's eye, she traced out her first attack at the man - and noticed with a chill that he already seemed to be moving as if to dodge exactly that attack.<br/><br/>Instinctively she thrust out, and before she quite realized it, sliced the tip through the throat of the man, apparently having 'led' the motion he'd made in response to the attack she<em>would</em>have made.<br/><br/>Despite all that, he desperately spellcast. Then his body jolted, as if the magic had surged back in somehow, scrambled by something more mysterious than the physical pain of the blow. Aria for her part jolted as well - her attack had earned some sort of backlash from some nasty magic of the man's, though to no ill effect so far that she could tell.<br/><br/>Aria jabbed the glowing rapier tip repeatedly; her next attack phased out, but even as she drew her blade back ethereally, and forth again, the man seemed to be dodging! She reappeared just before her next jab, but the man flicked his head, taking a graze along the chin. Aria felt another backlash muscle-spasm and realized he, like herself, could either see ethereal things, or had some other ability like the annoying persistant prance-dodging of the babau demons and Sharran satys.<em>And</em>the man began blinking, like herself! She'd seen no more spellcasting; some sort of contingency or quickened spell. Paranoid wizards...<br/><br/>She whipped the blade to the yet-unaware-seeming woman, slicing open the back of her neck to the bone. Aria felt the same backlash from her, but flicked the moon-rapier back across, making a parallel slice. The next phased out - while ethereal, Aria glanced over to the man, seeing him upon the thereal plane as well. She spun her other side towards the woman, dropping her hammer to draw and drive the kukri into the back of the woman's neck, solidly material. The blade severed the spine, and the tiefling continued across towards the man, but phased out again - just as he phased material!<br/><br/>His face riveted as he saw the woman drop; abruptly changing character. Aria realized what Kass had before - he'd been under an enchantment. And suddenly wasn't.<br/><br/>""Look through my pack's notes and spellbook for the very worst of the spells,"" he shouted in a Waterdhavian-educated tenor voice, drawing a rod and uttering a cast. ""Let it never be known or cast again. Erase and destroy the knowledge from page and brain, thoroughly - as thoroughly as this!""<br/><br/>Kass would recognize the magic; pure disintegration. A beam sprang from the man's palm - aimed at his own torn throat. Once it struck, there was no man, merely a pillar of ash. It held up his clothes - the 'true' set of clothing, jewelry and pack Kass had seen through the illusion - for a split-second, like the corset-and-garter-wearing wooden dryad in the center of the store, then collapsed into a fine powder upon the crimson carpet.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Rolled 2 hours for Gather Information (on the 1d4+1) for both girls. Then added 1d60 minutes for Aria's arrival (came out to +15, and Kass did very nicely preoccupying them for 15 minutes) - otherwise you get bizarre metagame 'top of the hour' effects with there being a 1 in 4 chance of ending at the exact same moment.<br/><br/><br/>Aria blinking and evokes moonblade as a rapier (says 'any type of sword'; probably doesn't include kukris)<br/><br/>Surprise round for Aria...and the man<br/><br/>Aria init 21<br/>NPC init 19<br/><br/>Aria:<br/>attack man with moonblade<br/>Man applies Moment of Prescience (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/momentOfPrescience.htm) to his AC<br/>mod 20 bab + 10 dex, dmg 1d8+8 (Str damage doesn't apply but Insightful Strike does, and sneak attack, potentially)<br/>blink roll 81<br/>atk nat20 threat 30+10 confirmed (amazingly, despite the MoP...helps that moonblade makes touch attacks),<br/>dmg 20 + 54 + 2 Str + staggered<br/>Blacklash: Aria makes Fort save 26 + 15r<br/><br/>Man:<br/>Casting defensively: Time Stop (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/timeStop.htm) (Kass recognizes verbal component via Spellcraft)<br/>fails Concentration check due to moonblade magic scrambling<br/><br/>First round<br/><br/>Kass init 13 (roll of 11; mod of +2)<br/><br/>Aria:<br/>haste books, begin full attack at man, mods 29/29/24/19/14<br/><br/>Trying Invisible Castle - has nice 'notation' for doing a full attack in one go, with condtional extra rolls when blink rolls succeed or attack rolls are threats<br/>Did name = ff, number of rolls = 7, dice = 1d20.extra(5).extra(15)<br/>(This means it'll roll a d20, and if this is 5+, will roll a second d20, and if that's 15+, will roll a third.

He also had Moment of Prescience, as mentioned above, and a few other spells. The Fort saves were b/c of Unholy Aura cast by the priestess (which can deal Str damage to those who hit the warded character with melee attacks).<br/><br/>Each of the pair had certain spontaneous-metamagic feats or class features to make some buff spells last all day. And some of their buffs are hour/level spells that can last all day at their level with 1-2 castings or Extend Spell. For example, the illusory guises were Seeming (like Disguise Self except multi-person and lasts 12 hours.)<br/><br/>I wasn't sure how being in Kass's mouth would be represented (grappled? etc.) - generally maybe her getting the option of a 'grapple' check if he tries to pull away, if she weren't flat-footed (for example a situation where the counterparty hadn't had Foresight and she'd beaten their initiative).<br/><br/>Despite their ridiculous buffs it was a very effective strategy Kass pulled off - allowed starting the battle in melee range, the priestess being unaware for awhile, and with very tight quarters for them; and without Foresight of course only Aria would've gotten a surprise round. (Couldn't think of a way for them both to have a surprise round).  Just mentioning in case you thought Kass's strategy didn't work as well as you hoped (i.e., it did; Foresight would affect pretty much any ambush strategy)."

Kass shouted, still in her guise as a the spell took place, reducing the man to ash before her eyes, leaving just his clothing and a crimson pile of<em>stuff</em>.<br/><br/>It was an odd feeling... seeing a man die mere moments after unloading the contents of his balls into your stomach.  He couldn't have been that bad a guy either if<em>that</em>was his response.  Kass took a moment, sighed, and released her spell to appear as her normal self yet again, glancing out to check on the cleric, and indeed she was dead.  Sighing again, she rubbed her eyes; this could have gone better for the man, but nonetheless, they'd completed every facet of the mission without fail.  She was at least happy about that last bit.<br/><br/>""Aria, raid the priestess' body, and if the owner of the shop comes back in, refer her to me and I'll make something up; I have a certain spell on that helped us out last night."" Kass said as she moved to the wizard's... ashes ""I'll handle the wizard's... and collect his ashes; the man didn't do this of his own free will, so at the<em>very</em>least we can arrange a proper ceremony, or put his ashes to a use he'd approve of.  Maybe we can do more for him though...""<br/><br/>With that, she cast a spell upon herself (Detect Magic), and went to work doing as she said she would do...<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Oh, I made no assumptions about spells and whatnot; tried to run this strictly from Kass' logic and intuition instead ^_^  If he'd cast the dweomer though, that would have <em>completely</em> fucked the plan up, so I'm glad my gal can talk a wizard out of his spells, so to speak.  Also, I'm kind of proud of myself; defeated a dangerous, high-threat and high-power foe, and Kass didn't even have to draw her blade.  That, and I considering the plan went off splendidly (and I assure you that, IC, Kass' oversized ego has just been stroked <em>long and <strong>hard</strong></em>), considering we ended up with a dead cleric and a dead wizard, both of which likely had 9th level spells, in less than 2 combat rounds.<br/><br/>Also, regarding Kass sucking him off, I'd say that in this situation it would be a concentration check as per the equivalent of being grappled, and if she'd get a free grapple check as you suggested.  However, if Kass had gotten the chance to react, she'd likely have used Fascinate using P(ST) fot the check, since they would already be watching her, so Kass would be able to get the ability off without a hitch, which would distract both long enough for Aria to actually slay them even easier.<br/><br/>Also, would it be possible to resurrect the wizard, and use a spell or psionic ability to remove that spell from his memory?  I know some exist, and he'd probably be willing to let it happen if he came back... just asking because to do what he did he had to be a pretty good guy, and she knew that he was being forced into doing what he did so... yeah... would that be possible and how much would it cost?  Spell to be used would likely be http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/resurrection.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/resurrection.htm) because it states specifically that a 'disintigrated' creature can still be resurrected properly.  Or, if you fully intended this to be an NPC never to be seen again...

I think the drowess said he was a Zhentarim, as sinister an association as any, but perhaps he finally felt he'd gone too far, or something. I wonder how recently he came under the Sharran slut's sway. If we do revive him, I like your idea about erasing his associated memories - I'll be perfectly honest, I would put preventing a small chance of that spell being used on a whole city before saving or redeeming one life...of course, I suppose reviving him could actually help that way, if there were other copies of the spell or those who know it which he hadn't time to mention.""<br/><br/>""On a bright note, I'm eager to enjoy our material rewards as well....but I was thinking, Siwa seemed a far smaller settlement than Arabel or some others. We might better be able to move our king's ransom worth of treasure - and find those who can upgrade our own gear or sell new toys - in a more cosmopolitan place. If you wish to go back to Siwa first in any case, though, and then go back here or somewhere else later....well maybe the Teleport spell of your runestave will suffice for places we've already been, to save on the expensive scrolls and the succubus's staff.""<br/><br/>She then let Kass concentrate on the spellbook while she moved about the dressing room and shop, drawing closed the front window's curtains, then searching and generally keeping watch. She found the door to the back room to be locked (perhaps by the shopmistress when she'd heard battle noises), but almost casually lockpicked it, and found a surprisingly subdued-looking office empty of persons, and with an open back door leading into an alley. ""I think any employees you ran across have fled,"" she called out, and placed a moonstone in a drawer by way of payment and apology for the store's trouble or lost business (though she supposed their probably preventing the city being devastated had been in its larger interest already!)<br/><br/>The wizard's effects would further attest to the level of mastery Kass and Aria had witnessed: he had six spellbooks, organized by school (Abjuration, Divination and Universal, Illusion, Transmutation, and two for Conjuration; the other three schools noticeably absent), and most nearly full. Kass would be able to decipher about ten spells a minute, but after only a score of such spells, not one yet such as they'd witnessed in the Mulhorandi wastes, the shop front door vibrated noisily under knocking so thunderous it might've broken in an unbolted door.<br/><br/>""In the name of the Lady Lord!"" came a booming, authoritative voice. ""By the Crown of Cormyr! Open and present selves, all within!""<br/><br/><br/><br/>I should've mentioned earlier when I noticed this misconception in your prior IC post - he didn't succeed with Time Stop. When he began casting it, the spellcast was disrupted by the moonblade's effect (one aspect of the Moonblade spell is that if you hit someone, then on their next turn if they try to cast they must make a Concentration check, which failed). The misconception is amusing - b/c you are completely right that the effects of a successful Time Stop would be unobservable by everyone else anyway. All the buffs were things he had up before, things that he or she can make last all day (or long enough for 1-2 casts to last all day), except for Gr Blink (his Contingency).<br/><br/>Also Modify Memory is bard only (although I bet there are sor/wiz enchantment spells that would do it; I think there's a 9th level one with the Evil descriptor called Mindrape that can change their entire memory/personality/self-perceived-identity) - though if anything that'd probably make it easier for Kass to find a caster.<br/><br/>On spellbooks:<br/>Reading (and 'identifying') a spell in a spellbook is Spellcraft DC 20 + spell level (which Kass can always make by taking 10) and one full round action per spell (= 10 /minute). They can also be read w/o checks via Read Magic (such as Aria has) but that's far slower (one page per minute, and a spell is one page per spell level, so that's 10-90x slower than just Spellcraft!)<br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/arcaneSpells.htm#arcaneMagicalWritings (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/arcaneSpells.htm#arcaneMagicalWritings)<br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/spellcraft.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/spellcraft.htm)<br/>(In general when I link SRD it's not an insinuation that you should already know, or read, it, more like a 'citation' to explain my own reasoning or what just happened IC, in this case the pace of reading.)"

She moved towards Kass, glancing nervously at the door to the back room and wondering if the lawmen had that back alley door guarded as well. ""That works for me!"" she whispered to Kass. Atimes, Aria liked to think of herself as lawful...but it wasn't as if they'd actually done anything wrong, to her mind, so she saw little point in being interrogated for hours or whatever might be the protocol in Arabel. And if the protocol included asking them to hand over as 'evidence' things such as the spellbook, and such a spell fell into the wrong hands...well, she told herself, better serve the law by not letting the city not leveled into a lawless wasteland by such spell.<br/><br/>She quickly reached out to hold Kass's shoulder for the teleport. Kass would find that indeed, that particular bedroom was geographically close (as their maps had indicated before) and familiar enough for this teleport spell.<br/><br/>They found the warmly furnished room much as they'd left it - in some ways, rather conspicuously alike to how they'd left it: the room had been  made up by the staff, but Elia was in it again. They couldn't see her face, though - only the blonde back of her head, which bobbed atop her kneeling body and faced the crotch of a tanned and silver-haired man in the black upmarket garb of, perhaps, a merchant or politician or somesuch. No luggage or clothes were strewn about the room, nothing made it seem rented or occupied again save the occupants themselves.<br/><br/>His hands, several fingers ringed, lightly gripped the bare shoulders of the girl, and green eyes bore down into the low front of her plunging white blouse.

Aria chuckled under her breath; maybe a married man, or public figure, or both.<br/><br/>Elia seemed to notice, and when he spared one hand to push her face from his slick organ, she glanced over her shoulder with a gasp, then spoke in a somewhat cloyed and sticky voice, ""I know one of them, V- I mean, sir...""<br/><br/>Ara laughed, dismissed her disguise glamer finally, and laughed, ""it's me.""<br/><br/>""...Both of them.

He looked critically at Aria, ""I shall have to acquire an item of magic like hers, to change the guises of my girls - a different face and body every day and eve!""<br/><br/>He took a handful of Elia's blonde hair, and groaned as she resumed her energetic fellation. Frequently the man's eyes flicked to the other two, perplexed by by the tomes or other items they studied. Aria donned the monocle (which she didn't think suited her aesthetically, but no matter) to study their new treasures, agreeing it a fine use of her time while Kass pored through the six tomes. She periodically informed Kass of her inferences, at such moments as they both seemed not in concentration.<br/><br/>Few individual wizards could claim such a vast or lofty personal repertoire, but Kass would find no spell anything like the one they'd witnessed devastating the desert. Kass in her thorough search, though, would notice two slight oddities. Both of the Conjuration tomes had one spell in common,<em>Gate</em>, - a perfectly possible and hardly unheard of redundancy when wizards stole, bought, or (most often) pried-from-dead-fingers each other's spellbooks with natural overlap; though the observant Kass would also note both spells and spellbooks shared the same handwriting and notational conventions.

Of course, if we need to destroy these to be sure about the one spell he referenced, 'so be it' sits just fine with me.""<br/><br/>She did a more careful mundane search of the things Kass had highlighted - the two Gate spells (gibberish to her, although she remarked aloud upon them as looking astoudingly identical-looking in every detail, almost to the penstroke) and then the back cover of the Divination tome. ""Secret compartment, huh,"" she shook the book gently, ""Something soft and rustly...more paper in there..the spell? Could slice it open, I'm sure, but first I'll try the monocle...""<br/><br/>She all but ignored the sudden grunts and gagging noises from the wall, as the man partially doubled over Elia like Firion had over Kass, quite obviously cumming down her throat. He sighed, ""Satisfactory...quite, quite more than satisfactory...I do believe you are hired for that banquet I spoke of; you'll be sent for from here at eight sharp, and no mistake!"" He dropped several platinum coins down her blouse, and rubbed her cheek like a father might a daughter's as she licked the last webs of ejaculate from her chin and his shaft.<br/><br/>Aria's magical-monocle inspection, meanwhile, showed nothing on the Divination tome cover, but after she studied the two Gate spells for a minute each, she tapped one of the two and gasped, ""Ahhh...a faint magic, disguised by something - more magic I guess - to seem not-magic-at-all! If this same fellow put that prismatic sphere in place or bade the mimic hide inside the ooze, I'd swear to Oghma he loves his magic puzzles and spells within spells! Of course, I can't tell<em>what</em>the magic is, but you seem to learn much more of these things when you divine.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria studies tomes (search checks take 10 then artificer's monocle) and makes Will save (roll 10, mod 33 w/ Dextrous Will, or 16 w/o) vs Magic Aura (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicAura.htm) - to realize one of the Gate spell's pages has an aura but was disguised to appear to have no aura (like a regular spellbook entry). (Note that it's not that Kass failed a Will save, but rather that nonmagical inspection doesn't trigger it.)<br/><br/>Hmm - although she makes the save either way in this case - maybe Dextrous Will doesn't apply since she wasn't 'targeted'. From Dextrous Will (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm#dexterousWill) - ""Once per round, when targeted by an effect that requires a Will saving throw, you may make a Reflex save instead to avoid the effect (evasion is not applicable)"".<br/><br/>So for example I believe she couldn't use it against something like Confusion or Mind Fog, area effect Will saves, or in-effect things like this and many illusions. She could use it against Hold Person and Mass Hold Person. So her low Will save is still a weakness (also b/c the feat can only be used once a round), albeit less so than before!<br/><br/><br/><br/>Expensive material components are 'trade goods' (at least I've always treated them that way, not sure if there's a real answer); things like gems that can be 'sold' and brought for the same price (more like currency themselves, in a partially barter economy) such as the ointment for True Seeing and the diamond dust used for Nondetection, Restoration, Stoneskin, and the Raise/Res series.<br/><br/>The ring of spell storing holds up to five levels of spells. It's from http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rings.htm. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rings.htm.) Metamagic rods at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rods.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rods.htm) - Twin's not there but it works like the others and is priced like Quicken - both +4 spell level metamagics. Some other stuff at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm.) Spellbooks sell for 50 gp per page and go up to 100 pages each (these six are almost full and so would sell for a little under 30,000 gpm, if sold) (from http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/arcaneSpells.htm#arcaneMagicalWritings (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/arcaneSpells.htm#arcaneMagicalWritings)). I don't know if they can be used as Scrolls (although that would be cool).<br/><br/>The Ring of Nine Lives is somewhat similar to the fortunestones (which were custom items I created by deconstructed the pricing of the Luckblade from core, which had that ability and several formulaic ones, like being a +2 short sword that gives +2 luck to saves). It's more powerful - the save is automatically a success, rather than just a reroll as with the fortunestone - but more expensive and has limited charges. It's 45,000 gp - and so I presume 5,000 per charge.<br/><br/>Since we're doing 'fusing' items I might have Aria combine one with one of hers (for 3+ ability items you do 1.5x of all but the one most expensive.)<br/><br/>""If you ever drop to 0 hit points or below,a ring of nine lives expends one of its charges to heal 20 points of damage. This effects triggers automatically,requiring no action on your part.<br/>Also,once per day as an immediate action,you can expend a charge when you fail a saving throw to treat the saving throw as a success.<br/>A ring of nine lives has 9 charges when created,but most are discovered with only 2d4 charge left."""

Several paper notes and a badly tarnished silver locket slipped out; Aria began reading them, and mused, ""Huh....purely sentimental as far as I can tell, some girl writing love-notes to Firion, the diction teenagerish and the ink years faded.""

Mechanically, if you're making things slotless there's no reason to combine them (unless it's the type of item where you can only 'physically' wear one like boots) vs just having a slotless ring + a slotless stone (the stones are slotless), but OTOH there's little downside either (only downside would be if you later wanted to sell or share one).<br/><br/>Kass makes Will save using identify, and using detect magic, recognizes Secret Page (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/secretPage.htm) cast on each page of the 'Gate'."

Near the harbor - actually not too far from the opera house - they found one rather expansive outfit with a bright banner proclaiming<em>Cid and Sons' Sundries</em>outside, and an almost pavilion-like in its interior. The place had a vaguely Calishite-bazaar feel, and most of what could be seen were mere illusions of weapons and jewelry (for reasons of security, presumably) with explanatory cards stuck to otherwise-needless stakes underneath or simply floating. They found fork-bearded wizards always happy to accommodate - Aria sometimes wondered how some outfits could imbue such powerful (and expensive) item magics do so so quickly; perhaps planar tricks such as going to obscure places where time flows more quickly, or treating with djinnis and efeeti who had the powers to craft by Wish magic rather than long labor.

She walked out alone to the end of the nearest pier, checking as she went that she wasn't being followed or overly looked-at as far as she could tell. From the end of the lonely pier she leaped off - seeming to dive for a moment, then appearing again over the level of the wooden planking in white-winged flight.<br/><br/>The tiefling giggled and flew out, finding herself working upwind, until she could see a great swath of the city coastline behind her, and felt rather sure that from this distance no one would see just what she did. The bad overcast light was a help, she realized. Taking out the rather unadorned sack the ashes had been gathered in, she opened it just a bit, and held it facing back - as she flew, they trickled out, becoming spread over a wide swath of water. ""Who were you, truly?"" she wondered, ""How much your volition and how much  magical domination? Well, at least you realized before the end you'd gone too far....something many a wizard, or person at all really, never does!""<br/><br/>Eventually she dumped the sack itself, and flew back.<br/><br/>In the shop's indoor pavilion, the rather rarified level of money and items to change hands in both directions earned quite a bit of excitement from the several shopkeeps, mostly wizards and artificers by the look of them who scurried between the counters and back rooms - from which Kass would hear a booming, jovial voice from a large but intelligent sounding creature, not humanoid, that she might well suspect to be from some type of sentient beast or outsider known for mercantile interaction with humans, like a dragon or a djinni.<br/><br/>Part of the pavilion design of the place, it would seem, was meant to accompany and keep at ease patrons while they waited for things they'd commissioned, or which had to be fetched from - somewhere, possibly by teleportation or planeshifting (it was evident from scattered references that this place was part of some mercantile network where wondrous items sold at one location might be sold somewhere else, very very far away; and anyone who dealt in or crafted such items by definition had access to such abilities).<br/><br/>From these other customers (mostly men dressed like wizards, retired adventurers, or like Elia's client), and employees too, Kass's strip down would earn more than a few eyes. Lips fell from houka nozzles, and some literally drooled.<br/><br/>Gold and platinum coins spun through the air to land and bounce at the naked Kass's equally naked feet - and one worthy even used minor telekinetic tricks to send his coins through the air to caress their ribbed edges against Kass's skin.<br/><br/>Aria slipped back into the shop interior, smiling to herself, her eyes dancing along with Kass.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kass earns 120 gp<br/><br/>We can do epic items (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/magicItems/basics.htm), but note that for some there is a 10x price multiplier (when going beyond +6 for ability scores and +5 for most other bonuses) which IMO is not very worth it (at least not yet / before you have everything else you could really want). However the AC/save increases (from increasing deflection/armor/nat-armor/resistance) you could also get via insight and sacred bonuses (same pricing as luck).<br/><br/>Also the 'base price bonus' of an armor and weapon can be increases up to 10 w/o the epic 10x hit, (things like 'holy' property, etc.)<br/><br/>That's right, 88K on the luck bonuses (and the AC/saves are indeed 'multiple different' - the same/different thing is not so much thematic relatedness as simultaneous functioning/benefit (or so I gather from DMG/SRD and the 'Rules of the Game' (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050118a) (Wizards article series which generally expounds and recommends things on weird cases like 'how does grappling in midair work'?).<br/><br/>I like the 'lucky bracelet', very classically thematic (charm bracelet etc.) and an open slot (bracers/bracelet).<br/><br/>Also were you combining the Telekinesis ring with others or leaving it separate? (Could go either way; might want it combined if you plan to use it in combat, but for utility uses like moving stuff you'd probably have time to switch rings and wouldn't miss the defensive bonuses of the other ring. And for 'offensive'/combat telekinesis the runestaff gives you a better DC and CL, at the the cost of using spell slots.)<br/><br/>One random thing I've found that Kass might also be interested in, pretty cheap too: Badge of Valor (1,400 gp), increases Inspire Courage bonuses 3/day (forget how much and whether it was slotless) (from MIC p208).<br/><br/><br/>Aria's list (almost done) is below.

Her sort will likely be out there causing trouble in the world, but then again many people are and time spent going after one is time not going after another."" On that thought, she started to wonder how, where, and when she'd go about finding her or their next adventuring endeavor. She didn't feel a rush; it would take days of reading to fully absorb the rather thick and rather expensive manual (a tome on Zakharan yoga which magically imparted a measure of flexibility and coordination to its reader) she'd just begun, and while she'd readily enough take up any cause that found her before then, it left her more willing not to seek them as actively just yet (so that she'd be in peak shape when she did!).<br/><br/>""Neat magic, by the way,"" she was impressed with Kass's immediate plan, ""One can speak through scryings? Neat!""<br/><br/>And so Kass would find she could reach Rana, gaining the farsight scene  of the woman. She sat upon a floor-pillow in a simply-furnished adobe room, speaking to a local newlywed couple with recommendations of diet and habits to optimize their chances of conception and starting a family.<br/><br/>""Excuse me,"" the priestess held up a hand, standing and focusing her attention inward to listen to Kass's remote yet clear voice.  She put her fingers to her temples; the couple could of course not hear the Message and likely did not understand the specific magic at work, but seemed quite patient.<br/><br/>Once debriefed, Rana whispered back to Aria, ""I thank you. I truly thank you. The intrigue ran deeper yet was handled more heroically than I might ever have guessed. You are of course welcome to stay as long as you like...'Adon' himself, I think, ought perhaps find a new home in time, somewhere it can be better defended, and where more folk in need can benefit from its potency. Perhaps one of our temples in a larger city like Waterdeep, where denser conditions lend themselves to the intermittent plague, or to Brightwater itself whence you came from. If you were planning to return, I know Saturnia and those like herself have more contact with and access to the Lady's other temples and festhalls than do we.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>Yes, it'd be long enough to be a rest period / could be made to be so.<br/><br/>I guess Aria could do 8 hours of reading her new manual during that time."

In a voice clearly used to addressing those assembled, she recounted the unwelcome surprise which had led to her contacting an entity of Brightwater and the arrival of the two adventurers who had dealt with the matter - and dealt away with her impostor, several local monsters in the desert to the east (which most had apparently not known of thought old local legends, and were now glad had been reduced to just that), many Sharrans, and the source of the incomprehensible spell which, by now, all knew had ravaged the landscape to the east. Though apparently no nomads had emerged from the area to speak of it - perhaps because none had survived - apparently a few foolhardy youths of the town had spent yesterday venturing out and back again on camelback - and quite naturally, the flattened nomad camp and oasis, and the sonic shattering of stones and blasting of sand dunes, wad now the talk of the small sleepy town.<br/><br/>Rana spoke of the servingrace - the listeners were largely familiar with the concept, to judge from the nods - and when she mentioned the two adventurers had apparently resided in Brightwater or larger Prime cities of late, the majority of the acolytes seemed more eager than less.<br/><br/>""And we come to now,"" Rana turned about, spreading her arms, ""Whence by this little fest you might better witness the visage and nature of whom I can only describe as heroes - in vivid detail.""<br/><br/>The priestess abruptly untied her skirt and let it drop to the ground. All craned to see - she faced Kass, as prominently did a smooth-fleshed, generally proportioned package of male genitalia she now bore - in each detail, save their organic nature and natural tone, thy rather resembled the fine carving upon Adon.<br/><br/>Acenith gasped and giggled, bowed her head to to lightly kiss the phallus, then bowed further and scooted aside so that she was no longer between it and Kass. Rana smiled, ""And what better way to celebrate the return of dear handsome Adon there than to emulate his acts in life, and those done now upon his likeness."""

She exhaled - her voice whisperlike, yet carrying and audible to all; a stage-whisper yet genuine in its arousal and immediate pleasure. She trilled and sighed as the bardess mouthed the low-hanging testicles, and several young girls in the crowd began to dip figs, provided by the magic of the rod, into their mouths. Within mere minutes Semmon, standing relaxedly with his back to the wall near the library door, had cupped the dark head of one such girl; he opened his own robes, and angled the girl's head so that she could pleasure him yet still watch - and learn form - Kass.

Rana bent forward slightly with her upper body, and her hips commenced a thrusting motion. Her breasts bounced in echo, earning many eyes, and before long Rana could only be said to be fornicating into Kass's mouth with an urgent, pounding power rarely seen executed by female hips.

For her breaks in the days ahead (she could only absorb so much so fast) she toured the temple library, the orchards, and the town outside the temple - what little of it there was - and flew through the sky just for fun. Over the next days, accounts from explorers like the earlier two youths trickled in, of the perceptible changes in the landscape to the east. Sand dunes had been shifted, the mountain faces of Goldflail and the much-further Dragonsword range were altered by narrow new cracks, and avalanches which occasioanlly continued as rocks settled into stable configurations once again. The River of Shadows which ran from the mountains through Siwa on its way to the coastal capital Skuld had begun to slightly divert its course in a few places, and supposedly a riverboat-borne small detachment of the pharaoh's soldiers and surveyors had briefly docked in Siwa on their exploratory expedition east from Skuld.<br/><br/>Aria couldn't really tell any changes from the air over the town, but then, she had barely seen the landscape before, and was grateful that the spell had been tested in, honestly, a nearly lifeless tract of wasteland, with small Siwa luckily - or deliberately - outside its radius. And she supposed plenty of more important things were still going on in the Realms as (un)usual - the pirate activity across the Sea of Fallen Stars, regional suberfuge projected from Zhentil Keep and even more furtively countered from Shadowdale, and so on.<br/><br/>A mercifully cool midmorning found Aria reaching up for a top-shelf tome in the library - when the tome suddenly fell towards her.

Kass would likely want someone capable of aiding her well enough, and that meant someone closer to her own level of prowess, Aria's too.  When she wasn't contemplating that or socializing, she was singing, dancing, both alone and with many a servant or priestess, and she also went to spend time with Semmon, to aid him at times if he needed it.  She did the same with Acenith and Rana too, helping them where she could with her many skillful talents, and every evening was marked by a massage from Acenith (minus the olive oil; didn't want to deplete their entire supply) before cuddling up with Aria in their own bed.<br/><br/>However, while they were quite hospitable towards them, Kass decided that they would soon leave back to the other plane, so that Aria could check in with her pregnant lover if nothing else before they found themselves another mission.<br/><br/>That said, one morning, as Kass was teaching a number of priestesses and servant girls a more interesting Calishite dance, a shaking knocked most everyone off balance, though not the experience Kass.  She furrowed her brow, now on alert, knowing that an earthquake was not necessarily just a quake when magic was involved.  At the sound of the muffled bells, Kass too was out in the courtyard, but when she got there, Aria was tending to it with the aid of a magical item.  Good; she could do the job better than she then, so to make sure that this was indeed a natural quake, and if it was to see how the rest of the area was faring, Kass crouched, then leaped high into the air, her cloak letting her ascend straight up at quite a pace, giving her the opportunity to search the area like Aria had before: from up on high...<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(She can 'run' (4xMove) at 160' straight up, Double-Move 80', or Single-Move 40' at Perfect maneuverability with the Phoenix Cloak, so a straight ascent is perfectly feasible)<br/><br/>Spot (done in-class): 12 + 12r = 24, if the roll is even necessary to see a.) how the town is faring and whatnot, and b.) what is making this if it isn't an earthquake</div></div>"

The orchard trees vibrated actively, casting down premature olives and figs and dates into the surrounding soil. The River of Shadows rippled like a rough sea, sloshing back and forth over its reedy banks, and the curvature of the ripples bowed westward - suggesting an epicenter to the east, almost like a giant stone had been thrown in the water there.<br/><br/>The view of Mount Goldflail, almost a dozen miles away over flat open sands, would suggest the same, for the fact that the effects of the tectonic activity there was visible at all from this multi-mile distance suggested it was far stronger. An avalanche like the one Kass and Aria had avoided was underway, and several of the new narrow cracks in the rock face were widening.<br/><br/>Aria launched herself into the air a moment after Kass, glancing around, then alternately eastward or downward, the statue still well in telekinesis range.<br/><br/>From the nearest spur of Goldflail an avalanche changed character - it seemed less like boulders were tumbling individually down the rockface, and more like the face itself was shearing away and sliding down. It seemed to break like a dropped stone tablet, then an adjacent face of the spur fell away.<br/><br/>Then the spur, though breaking and raining down, seemed also to<em>rise</em>and fall away. A humming sound filled the sky, low and distant, a vibrating sound of an almost subsonic pitch that a person could hear in the vibrations of their own chest cavity.<br/><br/>The spur rose from the mountain - and at a constant acceleration, the physical trajectory of something falling, except<em>up</em>. Rock continued to shear and fall away, back to the sand...but some boulders, midfall, abruptly changed direction and seemed to fall<em>up</em>as if seeking in vain to catch up with the underside of the spur.<br/><br/>Soon all the stone had seemingly fallen away from its initial state as part of the spur - all that was left, aside from clouds of debris falling down around a column falling impossibly<em>upward</em>, was a glistening black pyramid, a few hundred feet across and comprised perhaps of smooth obsidian, levitating hundreds of feet in the sky.<br/><br/>Another wave of humming echoed across the sky. The falling-upward pyramid decelerated, and the rocks directly beneath it and falling upward stalled with a smooth trajectory, and then began to fall downwards again. They struck the sand and what was left of the mountain spur, a jagged gap like a missing or broken tooth, with a great cacophony of crashing.<br/><br/>The pyramid itself kept an altitude as constant as a lilypad floating on a still lake, eight hundred feet perhaps above the sand, and it began to float west.<br/><br/><br/><br/>6 days elapsed (rolled a d10) - so Aria's done with her book (with 1 day to spare, since the 'lunch' day was her 2nd, i.e. done day before yesterday)"

The pyramid loomed in much of their sight, its shadow upon the ground just so its west, sliding over the terrain like a black ghost, giving some evidence of the thing's speed, comparable to a jogging human.<br/><br/>Few details of the pyramid's surfaces were evident, because those surfaces were so smooth despite the sliding of the rocks it'd emerged from. It hung eighty yards wide at its base, and the same sloping distance from each corner to the tip - the last few feet crystalline, and the only part which seemed made of anything other than smooth black obsidian.<br/><br/>Under each corner of the square base, like upside-down sphinxes, hung - or rather stood? - four metallic-colored centauric creatures, clockwork constructs with the shapes of winged centaurs and the sizes of small elephants. Each faced outward from the shadow of the pyramid's underside, in silent but possibly sentient vigil of the landscape 'above' their inverted bodies.<br/><br/>Midway along the side of the base nearest Kass and Aria stood three smaller, but at least as weird, other creatures: human-sized and shaped, dressed in white robes resplendent with gold heiroglyphs, but with alien faces which looked more like octopuses sitting upon humanoid shoulders than the heads of men. Pupil-less milky eyes loomed large within rubbery bald purple heads, and in lieu of a normal mouth each possessed a quartet of foot-long tentacles.<br/><br/>The hang of their robes indicated they were not simply employing some spider-climb like magic to stand inverted on the underside of the pyramid, or at least not only that: their gravity was reversed, and they seemed not to fear the 'falling' of the rocks which fell up into the sky and then oscillated below the pyramid. The earthly matter was not pulled horizontally along with the west-floating pyramid, and hence by the time the ground under its western edge fell up near it, was under its middle. As the pyramid floated west, the floating earth which 'moved', relatively speaking, out from under its eastern edge began falling back to the ground. Each patch of ground over which the pyramid floated fell up, and always down again when left behind, creating an endless sifting and cycling of the terrain, like a prospector sifting for gold in a New World river.<br/><br/>Standing a pace apart from one another, the three creatures - mindflayers or illithids, Kass would recognize, enigmatic and aberrant individuals infamous for exerting mind-magic over true-humanoid captives and slaves, and devouring their very brains - seemed intently studying this sifting of the soil. The left one was holding inspecting an ancient-looking battered bronze coffer of bronze the size of its own head, and the center one had found something more recently: it outstretched a four-fingered hand 'up' towards the looping sand 'above', palm pointed at an eighth creature floating through the air and struggling helplessly against telekinetic force. This dust-colored desert goblin, shrieking and cursing, seemed to struggle and 'swim' in the air to no avail, moving closer to the edge of the pyramid headfirst toward the white-robbed illithids.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Pyramid is 800' above the ground, and 240' on a side. Aria and Kass are at the altitude of its base and 100' west. It's moving west towards Kass and Aria had 6 mph (600'/minute or 60'/round)."

She returned arrows into freshly opened gaps in its and then the others' artificial bodies, striking clockwork within. Two collapsed, but the third opened it other hand and shot forth a laser-like green ray. Despite the lack of true spellcasting, Kass would recognize from appearance and context an  offensive abjuration meant to suppress Aria's blinking (or any more teleporting soon, for that matter). Aria dodged with suspiciously dancelike motions, perhaps inspired by her compatriot, dipping her body back and low, and briefly glancing 'up' and marveling at the desert landscape which seemed to hang above.<br/><br/><br/>Aha.

She kept flying forward to try again, and again she felt a bruising shunting, but not forward.<br/><br/>Both girls could see nothing on the material plane as they passed through the stone; it was like the ultimate claustrophobic feeling, literally being inside a wall.<br/><br/>When Kass came through, and Aria a moment later, they found a black chamber of dimensons befitting the doors; floor, ceiling and walls were all of the same smooth black stone, but lines of pure glowing light raced along the surfaces, illuminating all in an unnatural neon-like light. They mostly formed geometric lines, but occasionally broke into complex shapes of heiroglyphic runes.<br/><br/>The backside of the ""door"" stones had the same grooving and still no handles or mechanisms. Immediately beyond and to either side were recesses whose shape gave the suggestion that the stones were - somehow - meant to 'open' by sliding back and apart into those recesses, clearing the path Kass and Aria had had to phase through. The way the black floor underneath gave the same impression.<br/><br/>The chamber was just wide enough to accomodate such moving-aside, eight paces. The ceiling immediately above Kass and Aria was just high above for the door-stone to slide back and aside, and beyond that sloped up at the same angle of the pyramid's exterior, and soon flattening out at the same height as the chamber's width. The upper edges of he ceiling were ribbed somewhat, like a solid series of arches, which gave the vague visual impression of being inside a great ribcage, but may've been motivated by the more practical architectural purpose of supporting such a weight of stone as the rest of the pyramid above.<br/><br/>The chamber's depth was perhaps twice its height, with pairs of similarly massive block-doors along either side wall - yet the back half the chamber was filled by possibly the largest single creature or effigy thereof that Aria had ever seen.<br/><br/>Aria imagined the last scorprion she'd crushed under a boot - and, as if in some cosmic justice, she now beheld a scorpion so large it could've done the same to her. Its hide, chitinous armor-like plates of infernal burnt orange, gleamed dully in the unnatural light. Cabin-crushing claws jutted high, and a wicked tail loomed higher still - but mercifully, the creature seemed utterly and completely still. So much so that the more magically astute Kass would suspect some suspended-animation type magic holding the creature in timeless thrall.<br/><br/>More animate were the room's other occupants. Two more white-robed mindflayers stood just before the creature, one holding a barbed-bladed spear and the other a crystalline egg, and they seemed to be gesturing to it with their spindly free hands and even their tentacles. They gesticulated as if speaking, yet no sound could be heard. Their audience, such as it was, consisted of a scorpion-facing semicircle of four man-like creatures wearing chain shirts and copious lengths of actual chains - chain devils, Kass would recognize from lore, infernal creatures most feared for their ability to animate and attack with chains. Like many devils they sometimes sought to influence and corrupt certain mortals of influence - in their case, typically the tyrannical concepts of imprisonment and slavery, loving nothing more than to see mortals in shackles and chains of the body and the mind.<br/><br/>Several turned their heads to glare evilly at the adventurers, and began to snicker with sharp sounds like the rattling of heavy chains.<br/><br/><br/>Goblin's dead from the cacophonic blast.

The creature shook its head to the vibrations of the sword, spittle flying. Then its head whipping back painfully - far enough to show it that Aria had just jump-kicked the back of its neck. The tiefling landed with several punches into its vertebrae; several cracking sounds echoed from within the chain-laden devil and it fell.<br/><br/>Aria pivoted to toss more hammers; the mindflayer was cocking its expressionless head at at the vocal Kass when the missiles caught it between the pupil-less eyes. It fell, crystal egg shattering against the ground. Aria hoped it wasn't<em>too</em>valuable a bauble lost as she flung a shuriken at the stunned kyton, partially tearing open its thick muscle-corded throat.<br/><br/>As the crystal egg shattered with high tinny notes, though, something deeper and louder echoed: the mammoth scorpion snapped to life - literally snapped, the first evidence of animation being the siege-engine-weaponry size claws which snapped shut around the stunned mindflayer and kyton. Quite quick for so large a creature they closed, with slicing impact and then crushing, grinding, horrible noises as the creature lifted its two helpless prey several body lengths into the air. Kass's surmising had been correct, it seemed; the creature was either too primally dumb, or too angry about its captivity, to bear any love for those who seemed to keep it.<br/><br/>And it hardly seemed discriminating  - the body made a series of clacking and skittering sounds, tilting forward even as it made those first claw strikes, and the great barbed tail shot down from the chamber ceiling like a spear hurled down at Aria. It was too quick even for her, but she phased out ethereally even as she gasped in shock. The tail struck the stone, and recoiled.<br/><br/><br/>Oh, Blink induces a 20% miss chance for your own attacks (except for force effects like Magic Missile and the force bows); since we forgot to roll this for the Heaven's Trumpet and now this attack, why don't you just assume she cast Gr. Blink, which she also knows now. (That would be what, her 3rd 5th level spell, after Teleport and Cacophonic Burst.)<br/><br/>It's easy to forget, as is the 50% miss chance most incoming attacks have vs a blinker (I still forget the latter half the time with Aria, despite how often she uses it.)

Since you are better at recognition that different types of auras when you do detect magic than I do, you could quickly ascertain if so inclined whether they all had the same aura...more quickly than I could confirm their abilities with the monocle anyway.""<br/><br/>Next she stood by the left wall and used the monocle to study one of the three magic-aura'ed wall runes that she'd mentioned a moment ago, ""Okay, just as one might expect from a magical rune found next to a handle-less, lock-less, too-heavy-to-push portals, this seems to open or close it with a command word which I now know,"" - and which she wrote down.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Well anything has a 1/20 chance to make an arbitrarily hard save, but the hp dmg from the auto-crit will probably kill it and with 2 rounds to go...certainly wasn't worth rolling out.<br/><br/>(and btw, since I've noticed you making a lot of comments about saves where the DC is lower than your modL although I think you do already, do actually roll things even when it's natural-1-or-pass. The 1/20 chance actually does make a significant strategic difference vs immunity. For example I roll enemies' Fort saves vs the Staggering Strike, even though, like with a coup de grace, the DC is damage-based and so it's usually 20-or-nothing.)<br/><br/>Oh, so my retarded ungrammatical sentence:<br/><br/>"" The way the black floor underneath gave the same impression.

She'd even considered identifying the exterior doors and opening those before proceeding, but that would've taken another minute of delay identifying runes - at least she presumed each door had its own command word, judging by the fact that only one set was now opening.<br/><br/>The exterior doors they'd phased through had been ten feet of stone which, to judge from the architecture and scuffing just inside, worked by sliding back and then to each side, into the southern corners of the chamber. Aria thus expected this new set to move back ten feet - but it only moved back a quarter that, before the doors parted and slid sideways into narrower recesses along each side of a great doorframe ten feet deep and twenty across and high. It seemed the doorway consisted<em>two</em>pairs of blocks, each 'merely' thirty inches thick, leaving enough hollow space between to permit themselves to slide back together and then aside, like four dancers changing partners. ..<br/><br/>...to reveal a chamber of such dimensions that it made their present one seem a mere foyer. The depth they saw, and the inward slope of the far wall, suggested it stretched to the corner of the pyramid. Six forty-foot columns supported the flattened-out expansive of the ceiling. Each column was carved and painted with a dozen neatly stacked rows - separated by the same magically glowing lines - of depictions of men in two-dimensional perspective. Almost all were depicted at some sort of task or labor or trade: plowing, masonry, weaving, and on. The upper paintings depicted men seated, and listening attentively, heads tilted up - towards mindflayers who loomed over them, gesticulating; teaching or commanding them, and themselves holding the tools used by the men in the rows of art below.<br/><br/>The long far wall, angling inward and looming over the far side of the chamber, depicted a two-dimensional landscape of river running over sand to a sea, with a city 'floating' at the edge of the sea (probably meant to be at a river delta) - and hovering over that, a black pyramid, probably the same. Human men seemed to be hanging in midair between he city and pyramid, and floating to either side, mindflayers gestured them along. The sun hung over the pyramid in turn, an eye within, shooting down a single beam which touched the tip of the pyramid, from which it burst into many rays angling sideways over the landscape, some of which passed through and seemed to be slaying flying sphinxes and blue dragon.<br/><br/>Above this, near the ceiling, was another row of paintings, which depicted mindflayers showing scrolls and tablets to men, and to the right of that, leading a line of men past a giant-like creature which seemed to point to them, and then gesture onward - where the line split; some men seemed to float upward, ending at a floating garden; the lower line ended at what Kass and Aria would recognize as a depiction of the wicker man they'd fought - and in this depiction, it was aflame, the last man of the line inside.<br/><br/>For all this, the chamber did not lack for three-dimensional things: lines of sarcophagi were placed at intervals around the outer edges of the chamber and at the bases of the columns, but the tops of some had been smashed open, and they held no archaeological relics or mummies, but rather now vats of some faintly luminescent bluish-green liquid. One was near enough that Kass and Aria could see something humanoid floating in it - it had the curly black hair common of humans in the region, but its skin seemed sickly - in fact, despite the hair, the creature seemed halfway between man and mindflayer, with skin a purplish-brown almost like a faint even bruise all over, the jawline almost nonexistent. The limbs were spindly, and the upper and lower lips each split in half to form small boneless appendages, exposing a horrible rictus grin in receding gums beneath. Several tubes or ropes, black and of some unusual substance like Maztican rubber, seemed to coil about the man, perhaps keeping him suspended enough in the liquid to breathe. A pack lay on the floor against the edge of the sarcophagus, and hanging over it a sheathed khopesh, hook-curved type of sword popular in Mulhorand and for disarming the weapons of others.<br/><br/>Over a further sarcophagus-tub stood two mindflayers, each one clutching and hoisting one end of a naked and thus quite apparently female human who hung limply, stunned or unconscious perhaps, in their grasping fingers and tentacles.<br/><br/>The chamber's six columns formed two rows flanking a sort of throne, and something sat in it - not humanoid, but living; it seemed like a great lion, yet almost made of stone. It sat up on its rear haunches, horse-sized body of a rock-hard brown. Kass would recognize it as some sort of creature of the elemental nature of earth, eve though its shape and body movements - and likely, claws and bite - were like hose of a lion, albeit an unusually large or sturdy one. Not the mind, though; it seemed to watch the mindflayers intelligently, and with stoic approval.<br/><br/>Indeed it had been intoning, its voice confident but thick with an unfamiliar accent and which almost seemed to be practicing the Common tongue, ""...and thus, those judged insufficiently unenlightened or pure, those sufficiently impure and blighted, they shall be born anew, old cares and menial, mendicant minds sifted away like sand and earth sifted away from shining stones of true clarity...""<br/><br/>The voice had begun echoing prominently off the stones as the door-blocks began to slide aside, but the lion-creature was turning in the ancient-looking oversized throne, and so too the mindflayers riveted their milky eyes to the opening portal.<br/><br/>Aria, spying the (wo)manhandling mindflayers, pitched a hammer. It spun end over end and cracked the nearer creature between its milky, pupil-less eyes, as the tiefling vanished and thrice more rreappeared from thin air to throw and strick the mindflayers.<br/><br/>Both fell, dead on their feet, one splashing into the vat with the human they'd been holding. The earthy lion had leaped from its throne and loped swiftly towards the just-opened door; Aria was just pivoting on a heel to face it, only to see it leap abov her head, striking her with a great claw as it came down. She gasped - it would've been a shriek but her wind had already been knocked out - as the thing pinned her flat against the stone. Jaws flew down, and she managed to tilt her head, taking a painfully strong bite on the shoulder. The thing even landed with one hindclaw on her, raking the diamond-like claws down a thigh to shred pantsleg, and tiefling flesh beneath.<br/><br/><br/><br/>s'fine, my sentence made no sense. I'm really bad at self-proofreading, since I 'read with my mind and not my eyes' when it's what I wrote.<br/><br/>And it was a good guess, both b/c of context (the reverse gravity / floating structure) and, I suspect, terminology (slippers of spiderclimbing are the only DnD footwear I know of referred to as 'slippers').<br/><br/>You asked about a Mettle item once - I found one but it's only active when you have < 1/2 HP, and costs 16,000 gp (which in practice probably means 24,000 combined with something); IMO not very good.<br/><br/>Level 23 is another 'switch out a spell known' level (which of course is optional).

Underneath its forepaw, Aria flickered out. Momentarily alone on the ethereal plane, with a grayish view of the others, she let out a groan; and even that felt painful to her ribs - as did slipping out her favorite kukri and new sunblade. She reappeared just as she clicked her bracers together. Seeing elemental ley lines faintly overlay the body of the earth-lion in her vision, she slashed upward with the concave kukri and longer, straighter gold-glowing sword. Her slices seemed trivial for a moment, but then like narrow fault lines upon a great continent, the lion's body seemed to break itself apart with its own ensuing movement. The creature twisted back towards Aria, only to find its own head and forelimbs scattering and smashing upon the hard stone.<br/><br/>Aria groaned only briefly in relief - for suddenly the air was swirling with the rocky substance of the creature, catching herself and Kass in a momentary whirlwind.<br/><br/>It all coalesced at the other end of the chamber - into a giant-like bipedal figure who looked almost as solid as the earthy lion, with stony musculature girded in dull-gleaming adamantine armor. A dwarf-like stone-brown face sported both a great white beard from its jutting jaw, and stag-horns from its forehead. It clutched a massive maul with a solid square face, and smashed it against the nearest pillar while bellowing.<br/><br/>A conjured comet appeared high in the air of the lofty chamber, and as the giant-creature dragged a thick hand down through the air, the comet flew down at Aria.

Even if they were both expressed as multipliers I think they would stack multipliers (IIRC DnD has a rule that for physical quantities such as distance and time, multipliers multiply, and for abstract quantities such as damage, they add; for example the double damage from a mounted charge with a lance, and from spirited charge, stack for x3 rather than x4, and since a lance has a 3x multiplier on a crit, you get a total of 5x, not 12x).<br/><br/>Okay, one Lesser Res used, at 42 charges left on the wand.<br/><br/><br/>Aria: haste and deathstrike bracers; draw kukri of subtlety and sunblade for fa<br/>mh 49/49/44/39/34, oh 48/43/38 (22 bab 13 dex 5 or 4 weapons 2 blink 4 flanking -2 twf 4 inspire courage 1 haste)<br/>mh attacks<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957774/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957774/)<br/>crit crit hit hit miss<br/>mh damage (6x 1d4+18 + 4x sa + 4 Str + 4 Con)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957779/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957779/)<br/>462 (+ 2*HD from con loss)<br/>oh attacks<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957789/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957789/)<br/>hit hit hit<br/>oh dmg (3x 1d10+16 + 3x sa)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957790/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2957790/)<br/>279 dead (sort of...)<br/><br/><br/>Cometfall at Aria, DC 23<br/>Aria: reflex 37+7r, evasion<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/>24 X X X X X X X X X d d d d X X X X X X<br/>   X X X X . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Aria flew through the room with her blades held low, swirling around pillars in a bid to reach its far side, and greatly annoyed those same pillars had prevented a swift attack just yet. The large creature chuckled deeply and the floor shook a bit - it sounded heavy even for its size - as it lumbered the other way around a pillar, bearing on Kass (probably because of her ranged spellcasting, rather than meeting the flying adventurer who seemed to<em>want</em>to reach it), chanting deeply.<br/><br/>. Its body hues shifted - and changed from stone-colored flesh into seemingly literal iron. The thing looked almost like an iron golem in substance, its armor looking suddenly redundant, retaining its own bearded and stag-horned shape. It pounded its own fist against the head of its great hammer, making a deafening clang, as if daring the adventurers to still attack it.<br/><br/>Aria's face became pure dread; if it was as golem-like as she expected, this was exactly the sort of anatomy-obscuring magic she most dreaded in a foe, ""I'll be able to penetrate it<em>somewhat</em>, still..."" she called in Sylvan in a dour voice, ""..if we can flank it. Otherwise not at all, I expect!""<br/><br/><br/>lol a lion's charge would be poetic justice...Aria does have LoS, and it's in range (yay fly speed - except it's reduced to 45' while blinking) but charging (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#charge) has other restrictions (you have to move to the closest square from whcih you can attack the opponent, which in this case is blocked by the pillar; also it fails 'every line between your starting and destination squares must pass through any barriers' restriction. I believe that neither her Acrobatic Charge class feature (helps with rough terrain and acrobatic skill checks w/i squares) nor her Twisted Charge skill trick (lets you make one turn up to a right angle, but can only go 1x speed) save her. In general though, like with the scorpion, using DD to get into flanking position is a very smart tactic!<br/><br/>Kass can't draw the rod as a swift action from her pack, but she can do it as part of her movement.<br/><br/>Kass can just barely make it in range for the spell, it's 95' from her so with her 40' move speed (not still blinking) and the 60' line, she can juuust make it (and get to where the columns only provide the target cover but not full cover).

Misuser of magics! The arcane knowledge without that mind shall be dispersed when your brains are smeared 'cross the floor by my maul!</strong><br/><br/>Behind it, the flying Aria pivoted around her column - hooking an ankle around the cylindrical stone as she did so, seeming not only undelayed by the stone but to 'slingshot' herself by it - and sailed straight for the back of the towering creature's stag-horned head.<br/><br/>The sunblade lanced through the side of its throat, then ripped itself free only to twist around and under the beard, slicing across the front of its throat like an urban citizen being pounced upon by a throat-slitting common mugger. Aria sliced the smaller kukri across the back of its neck in an S between several adjacent pairs of vertebrae. The creature's roar become a spewing of mud-brown and mud-thick blood, and it fell forward heavily. Its adamantine-armored body landed with a deafening clang, and the partially-severed head popped off at the impact. The stag-horns arrested its roll, leaving it face-down in its own blood at Kass's feet.<br/><br/>""By the gods!"" Aria groaned, twisting around in flight to peer skeptically around the great chamber, ""<em>Thank</em>you for dispelling that golem-wannabe! I would've dismissed the blink, but it actually takes a moment of inward focus and would've delayed me.""<br/><br/>She felt her ribs ache again from the earlier pounce, and groaned, ""Its armor and maul are magic, and the mindflayers have the same as the others.""<br/><br/>In their movements about the chamber, Kass and Aria would have noticed a second man (if he could still be called that) immersed in another sarcophagus-turned-vat, and like the first seeming halfway in anatomy between humanoid man and aberrant illithid. Aria flew over the female human who'd been dropped in a vat by the falling mindflayers, sheathing her weapons and groaning, ""She still looks human..."" She gestured to indicate that she was willing to pull her and-or the others out of the greenish-blue viscous liquids if Kass was, and also shrugged to indicate she wasn't entirely sure what this all meant or what to do with them.<br/><br/>They would also notice yet another pair of door-blocks at the far side of the chamber, opposite the throne, leading towards the northwestern part of the pyramid - as well as a pair at the north end of their chamber's east wall, facing the pyramid's center. And curiously, above those, the room had a fourth pair in the<em>ceiling</em>. Aria pointed to her eyes and then certain wall-runes near each, indicating the same auras as in the last chamber, likely magic triggers to open them.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>The enemy moved (after Aria) specifically to prevent her full attacking or charging from her position (and you're also right that twisted charge saves her; failing that she'd need to use a charge from the belt of battle or quicksilver boots). If she'd stopped one square to the east to maintain NS sightline, he'd have then stopped one square west (directly S of the column) to obstruct a charge from her position.<br/><br/>Prior to that she was trying to get behind him (as far as she could go), ideally preventing him from backing into the corner (and becoming unflankable) so they could flank him a round or two after that. (Her 'penetrating strike' alternate class feature is the ability to deal 1/2 damage from the sneak attack dice when flanking a sneak-attack-immune creature.)<br/><br/>He instead moved toward Kass, for the above reason and to try to harry her spellcasting (of course, at this level you can take 1 on concentration so that's hopeless). He's not too worried about being flanked b/c Iron Body normally protects you from sneak attack (and he didn't anticipate Kass's dispel, or that Aria has the 'penetrating strike' alternate class feature; that would be total metagaming on his part!)<br/><br/>I wonder if a blinker can charge through objects (as long as they make the 50% chances and have LoS - i.e. had maybe partial cover but not total cover). Probably not (and risky in any case).<br/><br/>(Aria's referencing that dismissing a spell is a standard action, I believe.)<br/><br/>Perfect move IMO btw, both the positioning and the Dispel (the perfect counter to this 'Oh noes!' buff).<br/><br/>Aria: haste and (twisted) charge; draw kukri of subtlety and sunblade for fa<br/>mh 51/51/46/41/36, oh 50/45/40 (22 bab 13 dex 5 or 4 weapons 2 blink 4 flanking 2 charge -2 twf 4 inspire courage 1 haste)<br/>mh attacks<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2958805/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2958805/)<br/>hit hit miss miss crit<br/>oh attacks<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2958813/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2958813/)<br/>hit hit miss<br/>dmg (mh = 1d4+18, oh = 1d10+16) 4x mh + 2x oh + 5x sa - 5x3 (DR from adamantine full plate)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2958819/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2958819/)<br/>= 517 - 15 + 2 Str + 2 Con, slain<br/><br/><br/>(In earlier map forgot to mark the NE set of doors.

She gestured to them, as well as to the packs left on the floor near each of the three captives; those of the two men seemed, to judge from the outfits and khopeshes, to resemble the possessions typically worn about by royal soldiers such as Kass and Aria had seen a few times in Siwa. The attire in the woman's was, well, rather different.<br/><br/>Aria then commenced looting the two mindflayers and the giant-earth-dwarf-thing. Before she even did the latter, thing, its hulking body seemed to dissipate - swirling away into the same loose earth as when it had been 'slain' as a leonine-earth-elemental; Aria idly wondered whether it had been one creature changing forms, or one 'trapped' inside another, or gods only knew what.<br/><br/>Aria's first reaction was to be glad that its body seemed to disintegrate - that wold make looting its large armor easier, and presumably reduce or eliminate the chance of some accomplice resurrecting the thing. As the armor fell and rolled a bit at the dispersal of the weight no longer inside it, Aria noticed a topa-colored and lion-shaped gem appear to float out, or rather become exposed by the armor's movement. It seemed to ignore gravity, simply floating slowly in the direction last pushed by the armor that'd encased it. Studying it for a moment, it seemed to her arcane sight more like an object than a creature (certainly not one like the giant that'd cast spells) so she snagged the levitating gem.<br/><br/><br/>mindflayers: same as others (magic slippers and cloaks; mw sickle; nmw light flail)<br/>Hashmal: magic adamantine warhammer and adamantine full plate and lion-shaped gem<br/><br/>Lion's Charge is SL 2 (spell level 2) so a CL 3 item that casts it K times per day would be 360 gp x 2 x 3 x K = 2,160 gp x K, or possibly 1.5x that for MDA (mult diff abilities).<br/><br/>The Persistent Spell metamagic feat makes a fixed-or-personal-range (which lion's charge is) spell's duration 24 hours. It increases spell level slot by 6, so the min caster level woul be 15h for 360 gp x 8  x 15 = 43,200 gp for 1/day.<br/><br/>So it's about the same price as 20/day uses (for a 2nd level spell). Which is probably more than Kass would use (so it'd be more expensive than regular charges).<br/><br/>A subtle advantages of the persisted version is that it wouldn't use a swift action each time you 'use it' (which only matters if you also wanted to use another swift action teh same round - the Wand Bracelet and the Circlet of Rapid Casting is the only ones I can think of that Kass uses?) A disadvantage is that it can potentially be dispelled, and then you don't have it for the rest of the day.<br/><br/>In Kass's case a uses/day item is probably cheaper/better, but if it's nice to not have to keep track of or worry about charges, then it's an option.<br/><br/>One other thing I remember recommending for her was a swift-move item like the Belt of Battle or Quicksilver Boots (both in Aria's sheet for persusal). Those let you move as a swift action (or do other swift actions, in the case of the BoB). The advantages of that over pounce are not needing to meet charging conditions, and being able to do other things after a swift-move like make a ranged full attack or a 2nd move action and cast a spell. The advantages of pounce are getting to move 2x your speed, and the +2 attack bonus (but -2 AC) from charging.  This is why Aria has some of both. Swift-move is often much better for getting into af flanking position, since the nearest square to the foe may not be the one opposite the ally (in fact it's usually not since you usually start on the same side).<br/><br/>It has good synergy for Kass since her slippers are activated by moving 10'. But I'd hardly say she can't hold her own otherwise, she has a bunch of different useful spells. Even at L1, Hideous Laughter makes someone do nothing for awhile, even if attacked - unless the party takes 23 rounds to kill the other foes, that's basically as good as killing them on the spot. Glitterdust can blind several foes (most blinded foes are fairly harmless and helpless, and can almost always be sneak attacked). Ray of Light can blind with no save. And then there's all the utility like DDoor, Scrying, etc. that allow completely different ways of solving things (one DDoor would've easily prevented the TPK that Aria and Keela had).  And then even a lot of what may 'look' like Aria's damage is thanks to Kass (inspire courage bonuses, tumble skills to flank, etc.) and Kass can buff both them a lot (Haste, Invis or Blink, etc.)"

If you do, it'll be welcome.""<br/><br/>While she spoke, Aria healed herself by wondrous item and wand, inspecting Anya briefly to double check she wasn't wounded; just rather messy and disoriented it seemed. She next studied one of the runes for a minute with her monocle, giving Anya plenty of time to get dressed with whatever she might have in her pack.<br/><br/>She'd chosen the door-blocks which seemed to lead towards the center of the pyramid, and when she spoke the words, they slid open like the last set.<br/><br/>The revealed chamber was a nearly perfect cube, and all six black-stone walls more intricately sprawling with glowing geometric lines and runes than any chamber yet. The floor bore many concentric circles of symbols, whose colors and brightnesses seemed to shift in a rotating pattern, almost creating an optical illusion of slow spinning.<br/><br/>Curiously, that floor was ten foot beneath the opening doors, from which the stone  immediately fell away in a ten foot drop to a recessed floor. The several facing sets of doors on the opposite wall were likewise ten feet above it.<br/><br/>Aria was never any danger of falling in, though - for it was evident from a few floating bits of grime and shards of clay and stone suspected in the air, that gravity itself was suspected within the chamber.<br/><br/>Perhaps the more prominent piece of evidence to that effect was the gargantuan four-clawed crab which seemed to be floating in the center of tee chamber. Its carapace gleamed with an otherworldly blue-gray near-translucence as if the thing were made of energy - like the lion, it seemed elemental in nature, though certainly not of earth; perhaps air or pure force - and its four claws and eight legs were folded in an almost meditation-like pose. It had no face to speak of, but it somehow seemed almost to be focusing or concentrating.<br/><br/>The thing seemed to speak, with audible sound but its maw unmoving.<br/><br/><strong>Pause, interlopers, to meditate on the gravity of your circumstances.</strong><br/><br/>All the same, Aria slid a heel back and pushed forward on it, wing-cloak lifting, seemingly about to launch herself into the chamber.<br/><br/><br/>Aria at 57 dmg (from the lion's charge), uses two belt of healing charges (2d8 each) for 11, then 4 wand of lesser vigor charges for 44; now at 2 dmg.<br/>activates blink ring before opening doors (she will continue doing this, which I may neglect to say)<br/><br/>Initiative<br/>Aria 27<br/>Kass 23<br/>Anya 9<br/>crab (http://132.209.40.23/w4/campagne/images/WotC_Art_Galleries/Monster_Manual_III/Siege%20Crab%20by%20Wayne%20England.jpg) 4<br/><br/>Aria will delay 'til after Kass (though as always Kass can 'delay back' if she wishes Aria to go first, which would likely consist of a kukri/sunblade charge)<br/><br/>Floor of chamber is 10' below doors (floor of previous chambers), ceiling is at same height.

As she reached the creature she seemed almost to continue flying past, but hooking and then sliding the kukri along the carapace and rending it open. Blue-gray energy shone forth from within, and the creature seemed to quaver and flicker. In a burst of light it discorporated, but then the shining light seemed to unshine - to race back towards a source as if time were reversed, but not quite the same source as it'd left.<br/><br/>As Kass suspected, like the earth-lion, either the creature had a second body or life, or some second creature had been released from within the crab. A bright flash throughout the chamber left behind a floating giant of a character, even large than the stag-horned dwarf creature. 'Standing' 'horizontally' against the far wall, to huge its legs bestrode a pair of door-blocked like a harbor colossus, this one also wore adamantine armor, a spike jutting from the center of each plate, and the breast glowing faintly with an abstract symbol which might've been two comets or tadpoles chasing one another's tails. A close-faced helm occluded its face, and its right hand was likewise hidden within a claw-like weapon. The left was free; meaty fingers, sheathed like sausages in a glove, twisted in spellcastings somatics. The accompanying verbal components echoes from within the impersonal helm.<br/><br/>A second claw, constructed of pure force, materialized around that hand - and shot out, snapping around Aria. It crushed around her waist, pinning her kurki arm to her side. As soon as Aria blinked out next, she flinched her body in an expectant bid to slide away ethereally like she had from the earth lion  - and found the hand of force extending onto the ethereal plane, maintaining its squeeze.<br/><br/><strong>I am the condemner.</strong><br/><br/>The spellcaster's voice echoed the moment its incantation had completed.

Nice positioning with Kass and flanking once again. And I'm glad for twisted charge - the translocation consumed Aria's swift action, so she wouldn't have been able to use the boots' 'quicksilver' ability nor the belt of battle for a swift-move instead of a charge (since a normal charge has to go towards the nearest square - sw of Zeromus - from which the only 'flanking' square would be ne, which is within a wall!). This is the main reason I bought a Persisted lion's charge item for her in Tsurlagol was not b/c I thought the would need more than 20 uses per day that makes it worth it pricewise, but so that lion's charge wouldn't consume her swift action every time she used it, thus making it impossible to use with golem strike, deathstrike bracers, etc.)<br/><br/>I don't know to what a degree a character is aware of all the mods and counters affecting their attack - in this case whether Aria would recognize Zeromus has Blind-Fight or some other ability which is not giving her the as-invisible-attacker bonuses from blink.

She might've hoped for a celestial trumpet-blast to send the illithids plummeting to their own dooms....now she'd find out if she could accomplish it one-aberration-at-a-time with arrows before they did the same to her!<br/><br/>She figured there was a good chance she'd end up drawing her own staff out again to teleport to safety - but hopefully she could at least draw their attacks away from Kass and Anya before then.<br/><br/>She twisted to fire her bow straight up, shooting the sole mindflayer still above her threw the eyes. As its body fell past her, she was already twisting horizontally and firing at one of the illithids in the ring around her. She dropped it with a single through the tentacle-draped throat, and began turning her body around, shooting the next mindflayer in the circle. Hopefully she could make it all the way around before they did her in with spells...<br/><br/>...those spells soon included arcs of lightning hurled from two of the illithids, one of which she twisted around and the other which sailed by while she was ethereal. The other two still-living mindflayers cast spells with no immediate visible effect - but one she recognized well; telekinesis like from her new ring. She felt them attempting to telekinetically rip her precious bow from her fingers, but she phased ethereally before much sorcerous force could be exerted.<br/><br/>As she blinked in, she realized that the other group of enemies had also teleported right over her! One of those two illithids sprinkled her with a cloud of glitterdust, causing Aria's body to twinkle - but the glittering light blinded her for only the very briefest of moments, like a moment of faintness. The four howling kytons around the mindflayers howled and hissed and laughed evilly, dive-bombing her to a devil, and lashing out with chains. Aria dodged one and phased out while two others lashed, but the fourth caught her with a painful smack just as she phased back in.  Her head whipped back with a painful red welt from chin to temple, and Aria snarled.<br/><br/>All the same, she continued to drop and spin in the air, firing arrows around at the ring of mindflayers; only one survived to cast another spell, magic missiles. Aria found she couldn't dodge, she couldn't phase out; they simply smashed into her with pure force, while the tortuous kytons whipped down and around her - surrounding her and outflanking her aerially, she realized - her and struck her several more times with powerfully whipped chains. The two mindflayers above them took a cue from their surviving fellow, casting another ten magic missiles into Aria.<br/><br/>She knew she needed to get away from those chains<em>and</em>dispatch the mindlflayers quickly or teleport away: they'd found a sure way to hurt her, and it would only be a matter of time now. She launched herself straight up, dodging around the uppermost kyton and even pushing off its back with her foot to cleverly build up charge momentum against gravity.<br/><br/>She spun inverted in midair, and met a mindflayer kick first, right into the solar plexus of its emaciated midsection. Her other leg arced and hammered the small of its back. She gripped twisted with both legs, breaking the thing's back, even while throwing her arm out towards the adjacent mindflayer - with the precise motion to release the gnomish forearm-blade like a retractable cat's claw. She plunged it into one of the thing's eye, twisting her arm to stir about its brains, then withdrew her arm only to pluck a shuriken from a pocket. She sent it spinning at the last mindflayer, slicing open its throat.<br/><br/>The snarling kytons had began pursuing Aria upward almost as soon as she'd escaped from their midst. They dodged falling mindflayer bodies,  and came lashing at Aria, striking her again. Aria flitted up and finished the last mindflayer with an arrow, before turning missiles on the chain devils below. Several were struck and slowed by it, but still they climbed, chain-lashing and striking her powerfully again and again.<br/><br/>Aria knew she could bear little more, and that her blink magic would be running out about now. Groaning, and replying to the Infernal curses of the kytons with her own Infernal - to their strange surprise and delight - she withdrew the teleport staff. She triggered it, focusing on the sky above her, wanting to be<em>away</em>from this private little Hell in the sky.<br/><br/>She reappeared over a thousand feet higher in the air - now at an altitude of half a mile. She shouted down to the kytons with more Infernal, for the first time in her life going out of her way to proclaim that she was Erinyes-born and they were lesser devils all. It was enough to get them flying up towards her rather than down towards Kass - or perhaps, more pragmatically, they figured her the more immediate threat to themselves. The four devils began gaining altitude, cackling and catcalling up to her in the tongue of devils.<br/><br/>Aria slid the staff into its too-small extradimensional backpack, and reactivated her precious blink magic, as well as yet another burst of the far-sight divination she'd been using almost constantly during the battle to target at range. She rained down arrows upon the climbing devils, who laughed while they dodged some of the missiles, or caught others off their armor. Those arrows which hit slowed them, and one fell, then other, and then a moment later a third.<br/><br/>The last devil in the sky had halved the distance to Aria when an arrow caught him through the links of chain and his fiendish heart.<br/><br/>""So long - for your brief mortal life!"" he called almost jovially in Infernal, ""No matter how high you fly with those stage-costume angel-wings of yours, you'll never reach the Celestial planes, sister! Oh-so I shall be seeing you again - when your soul inevitably returns to the land of your blood - to whichever Hell of the Nine!""<br/><br/>Aria hurled down a shouting, crying ""A Celestial plane is where I came to this godsforsaken wasteland from!""  She hung in the air for several moments on end, panting and sobbing heavily, grimly satisfied to see the devil's life give out and its body freefall.<br/><br/>She was relieved there were no more enemies visible in the sky, for her healing wands would work slowly, as would her tired descent from half a mile in the sky.<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>On her descent, Kass would find the arrow-stuck corpses of illithids, and then a bit later kytons, free-falling past her intermittently.<br/><br/>As she caught up with the human man, who was still floating down at a leisurely pace, he threw his arms out to her and cried in a terrified voice with a local Mulhorandi accent, ""Heeaaaalp! What's going<em>on</em>!?"" alternately looking at Kass and at the crystalline tip of the pyramid below. As if to illustrate his fears for himself, a mindflayer landed back-first right on the crystal apex, causing its tip to rip upwards through the sallow chest.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(All three orbs of force missed Aria.

Kass demanded, firm and terse as she pushed him away, and made sure to cast a feather fall spell upon the noncombatant woman (and the man, if need be) ""I'll get you out of the way of the top of the pyramid, you'll fall to the ground safely I assure you, and I'll be there the entire time.  My friend is... distracting the mindflayers and kyton demons; we should be safe for a while, at least.""<br/><br/>Of course, she'd note soon enough that the ground around the pyramid was now littered with corpses... and glancing up Aria would be seen as the lone one in what was once a group of enemies plus her.  So, quickly Kass moved Anya and the man off to the side so they landed in the sand safely, and once that was done she would 'float' down with them via her spell, finally righting herself to land upon her feet.  Once on the ground, and checking to make sure Anya and the man were both alright, it was simply a matter of waiting for Aria to come back to them... assuming she was okay, of course...<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Wow... that's a <em>lot</em>... mind you Kass could NEVER do anything like that; taking on all those enemies by herself... she just couldn't do it.  Hopefully next time it won't be so... one-sided for you; Kass is, sadly, primarily a support role, as opposed to what a Sorcerer, Wizard, or Cleric would be able to manage.<br/><br/>Anyway, since Anya's awake again, Kass'll cast Feather Fall (I completely forgot I had that spell &gt;.&lt;) on her, and if need be on the mulhorandi man, so they can all float down safely to the ground, with Kass leading them over to the sandy area next to it, which I assume she can do since they'll be floating slowly.  Then comes the waiting for Aria...</div></div>"

""My, my, thank you!"" he steadied himself, as if scarcely able to believe he stood on solid ground. ""I didn't know if that creature's slow-float magic was going to last me all the way down..and even if it had, well, I'd've had a long steep slide down from the top of the pyramid, eh?"" he scowled up at the imposing edifice. He bore an evenly tanned copper complexion, and was fine-featured save for the largish hawk-nose typical of Mulhorandi men. This silver beard and hair had the look of having been recently trimmed and kempt, but dirty and matted in the last few days. He appeared almost in shock, but physically uninjured.<br/><br/>Looking around nervously, and eyeing both Kass and Anya curiously, the silver-bearded man asked, ""I don't suppose you ran across any of my fellows indoors before the thing fell from the sky? I am Karsus, royal surveyor, and most certainly no friend of the tentacle-faces. I came with a small detachment of royal soldiers from Skuld. When Horustep, long-live-he,"" Kass would recognize the name of the current pharaoh, ""heard the tidings of such a strange event here in the east, that the land had been scoured by some sudden blast, He sent us to investigate. I fear we yet learned nothing of that event per se, but did note a fresh crack in Mount Goldflail's near spun."" He gestured to what remained of that spur, where the pyramid had broken first when first levitating into the sky. ""We glimpsed therein the smooth black of what I gather was<em>this</em>thing,"" he gestured to the landed pyramid, ""But were set upon by the creatures! Scarcely sooner was it that we first saw their approach than I was unable to move...and since then, just yesterday I think it was, have been, ah...<em>within</em>. We were brought before a silvery shapeless creature and our judgments pronounced, as if it could stare into our souls! Our two men-at-arms it declared 'guilty', and sentenced to 'ceremorphosis'...our priest and I 'innocent', and he went somewhere else, while one illithid took me to a small room near the tip of the pyramid and tied me to a seat while it worked at utterly strange devices or controls.""<br/><br/>As he spoke, intermittently the bodies of mindflayers and kytons struck the sides of the pyramid, crunching or splattering and then rolling or sliding upon their own ichor down the black inclines until they landed in heaps on the sand.<br/><br/>A bit after the last, Aria descended. She carried a healing wand in one hand, but her face and limbs bore several bruises or chain-lash-welts visible through her torn ash-black leather sleeves and leggings. Drying blood from one lashing clung in diagonal streaks across her face, and matted some of her hair. She was panting heavily - from her injuries, from the exertion of fighting and then dive-flying, and from one of the most potent adrenaline surges yet of her life.<br/><br/>She looked at the pyramid and then smiled at Kass, ""I daresay you've saved whatever places that thing was headed for, it doesn't seem to be rising again!""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>lol, yeah, since Feather Fall has no somatic component, Kass could've just cast it on Anya and let her go. And even if it did have a somatic component, she could let her go and then cast it on her (it's an immediate action and says you can 'catch' things in reaction to their falling, before they do descend). I had figured Kass would do that and then nuke the nearby mindflayers with Heaven's Trumpet. Crazy fight and it was close.<br/><br/>Bards are a (the?) great support and all-around class, and I hope you don't mind if Aria is doing most of the direct damage, but Kass is actually quite powerful (and far more versatile). Against things that can't detect invisible characters, Improved Invis is amazing (combined with her Move Silently, cretaures likely won't even know what square she's in if she moves after casting or attacking, and even if they do it totally blocks targeted spells). Similarly Ray of Light can blind with no save, and there are lots of spells there that might as well kill anything that fails save (heaven's trumpet, hideous laughter, hold, dominate, etc.) Then there's all the metacombat and utility like feather fall, teleporting, dispel, glibness etc.<br/><br/>Her physical attack/damage is actually quite good (1x or 2x cha to both attack and damage) better than many fighter-type's in other parties (and better than almost any other bard or other caster); Aria's just happens to be unusually optimized as well. And her buffing could easily double Aria's damage output (haste, then inspire courage) or more by letting her sneak attack in cases where she otherwise couldn't (Glitterdust, Blindness/Deafness or Ray of Light to blind foes; Grease from the wand so they're balancing and lose their Dex bonus; or using tumble skills or DDoor to efficiently flank as she's been very effective with lately). Obviously bards, as one of the best buffers/debuffers, work well in conjunction with something else that's a direct damage vehicle, but when they do, one shouldn't just 'credit' the vehicle.<br/><br/>Also with Use Magic Device, or Improved Spell Capacity and customizing the runestaff, she has access to 7th-9th level spells not on the bard list.<br/><br/>And the bardic knack ACF is amazing; it's like the party having an expert in every single skill.<br/><br/>Kass probably couldn't solo'ed the battle too, taking less damage and risk to herself (but maybe more rounds depending on the enemy saves), by leading with Improved Invis and then casting things on the foes (especially b/c stunning/holding effects would have the added bonus of making them take the 20d6 falling damage). Could use readied actions to Glitterdust the invisible mindflayes when she heard them casting, or use her blindfold to move within the blindsight range (30').<br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria at 174 dmg, will start wand-casting Lesser Vigor, first one in the sky, then run down (480'/round once blink expires, taking about half a minute to reach the ground).

I don't know if he'd be alive or not.  However, regarding your mission... the shockwave was a devastating spell performed by a wizard, at the behest of a Shar priestess who had ensnared his mind and bent it to her will.  This man and the priestess, however, are no longer a threat; they are both dead, and the spells destroyed and unavailable to even the most talented arcanist ever.  My companion and I made sure of that<em>personally</em>.  So, when you go to speak to Horustep, you can tell him that a wizard did it, but that the wizard is dead and gone, his country safe from such a thing once more.""<br/><br/>Then, Aria did indeed arrive, and when she did... well, Kass damn near hugged her, but stopped at the sight of the bruises.  She apparently had taken quite the beating... and yet was speaking still.<br/><br/>""Indeed, and you've saved us I do believe... and put your own life on the line for us...""

The largest and lowest level, I believe, was six chambers around a seventh, though I was only in one of the large corner chambers myself - where I was 'detained' before judgment by several of those chain-lashers and a great ram which seemed made of pure flame. Through doors in its ceiling was I taken to a level above, which resembled nothing so much as an audience chamber or court. I like the others was 'judged' in turn by the floating silvery thing, which shifted between a spherical shale and that of a set of scales, flanked by four beings who seemed like angels, yet I cannot think harbored angelic demeanor! The other men went down through other doors in its floor to other chambers, but one of these, 'illithid' was it, took me to a small room above, which I think might've been at the apex. It chained me to a chair - thus was I up to the moment we felt the pyramid go into freefall, whence it telepathically told me to teleport with it if I wished to survive.""<br/><br/>""Directly into my mind did it interrogate me about the geography and capabilities of Mulhorand! And its religious aspects - it seemed to wish to know how best one might insert new cults or religions into the society, and gather worshippers. And I saw it working at several magics in the room - it caused images to appear across one wall, as if seeing right through the stone of the pyramid and outside in any direction it wished. I do not know whether the wall was magical, or it simply projected its own abilities onto a convenient flat surface, or both. I also saw it create a three-dimensional image hovering within the room - which I recognized as a globe of our own Aber-Toril. Even the black pyramid was just visible upon its surface, and the creature seemed intent on that point and on two others across the globe. I saw it compare them both to papyrus maps, and seem to project onto the wall images of faraway places which I think might've been the same. One was at the far southeastern end of the megacontinent we lie in the middle of; a region, if I recall from myself, ought might know as Malatra or Kara-Tur. In the image of the wall I saw a far-sprawling temple complex surrounded by vine-choked palm jungle and lillypad-choked moats. I saw other creatures like it in the image; in fact I believe they were conversing across the distance with the one which held me. Behind them I saw humans, I'm sure they were, though a bit smaller and narrower of eye than ourselves, worshipping or listening to what I believe was a woman centaur.""<br/><br/>""The other place was amidst a continent across the globe from us by oceans, which I believe we know as Maztica. It seemed also a tropical clime. I saw yet more creatures like it, and humans being led up a step pyramid. The creatures seemed to be instructing them, or engaging them religiously, focused on the apex of that pyramid where two skeletal men sat enthroned.""<br/><br/>""My captor did not seem to care what I saw, and seemed to be able to engage me telepathically while simultaneously doing these other things, to no detriment of focus on either.

The other hemisphere showed the vertically conjoined continents of Achorome, Maztica and Katashaka.<br/><br/>(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs27/i/2008/110/9/7/Abeir_Toril_by_Ikaazu.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>Figures appeared to fly or float in an infinite figure-eight around these two hemispheres - a train of mindflayers and, across from them, a chain of handsome giant-like figures.<br/><br/>The murals were shot through with cracks, presumably from the recent crash-landing, and several shards had fallen to the floor. This chamber contained more three-dimensional features than the last - a series of cracked slablike tables and benches amidst the columns (the corner-most of which had collapsed). The place had the sense that it had once been a great feasting hall, and was now a high-ceilinged workshop. Scattered across the tables were scraps and pieces of what appeared to be statues or mechanical things, like the flying-centaur constructs underneath the pyramid. Much was strewn across the floor, either from previous disorganization, or the chaos of the fall - including two smashed goblets which, it seemed, had contained gray-white-pink brain matter now splattered nearby.<br/><br/>The chamber also held two fully-assembled constructs - or at least,<em>mostly</em>intact constructs, with visible denting and warping from the fall. In the outwards corner of the chamber was a metallic likeness of a gold dragon. It would've stood higher than a horse on its four clawed leg, and with a snout-to-tail-tip length well in excess of a long-trunked elephant's. I was almost as large as the blue dragon Ozonyminidonaxandius which Aria and Kass had fought in the desert, except at the moment it appeared to be inert, squatting compactly against the floor with its wings and limbs all tucked. Its limbs even seemed fastened to the floor by metal bands, a canvas sheet was thrown over its head, and a small chest lay between its foreclaws.<br/><br/>The other assembled construct was much more animate: it took the form of a great metallic green-armored statue as large as the giantess just slain outside, fashioned like some ancient hero with sandals, breastplate, and crested helm, like its body all probably forged from mithral. If it was capable of speech, it didn't advertise it: the thing simply made to lumber toward the girls (with surprising speed for a construct), fists-first.<br/><br/>Aria took flight, throwing out a foot to torque herself around the nearest column and slingshot up the open way between the two lines of columns. She met the construct between the next pair, drawing blades and activated the same magic used against the centaur-constructs to sense the weaknesses of the arcane energy or clockwork which gave false life to such things.<br/><br/>The tiefling flew between the outstretched fists of the mithral giant, and her blade edges rang against several seemingly random points upon its two shoulders. For a moment the creature seemed to ring like a great silvery bell, then the arms and head abruptly popped from the torso. The pieces fell and struck the stone floor with a surprisingly none-too-dissonant, and almost musical echo (probably thanks to the mithral).<br/><br/>Glancing about, she saw the room had the same sets of door-blocked as the facing ones with the earth-lion: a set leading west (almost certainly 'back' to the chamber with the scorpion), another north, and a third right in the ceiling above those. Aria dovetailed to Kass and informed, ""Magical auras from runes near each set of doors, again, and from within the chest near the dragon-thing."" She looked a tit suspiciously but it still seemed inert, and thought she considered attacking it, it seemed at this point unlikely to spontaneously attack them - less likely than it was to 'awaken' or attack if attacked, she supposed. Indicating the aura'ed door runes, she asked, ""So which way next?""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Blink is self-only (which is what Aria was trying to say.) Might be worth glancing trough Kass's spell list descriptions once so that you're more likely to think of tactics where casting a spell on an ally is useful (such as Feather Fall a little earlier, and Invis now); bards are really really good in that area. You've been doing great with Kass but thinking of when and how to use spells on allies is one thing that can add a lot.<br/><br/>To save a post cycle I'll assume she cast DDoor on the three of them...hope you don't mind. One 4th slot instead of two 3rds, less change of damage, and she hasn't used many 1st-4th slots today anyway.<br/><br/><br/>Yep, she could quality for Epic Spellcasting by getting 9th level spells (probably by taking Improved Spell Capacity two more times), in which case I agree a +30 Spellcraft item might be a good idea. (You can also get 10th+ level spells by taking Improved Spell Capacity even more times. These slots are different than epic spell slots, although epic spells act like 10th level spells for spell-level purposes such as DCs and Concentration checks.)<br/><br/><br/>Note that it requires 24 ranks in K(arcana), and the number of spell slots you get = the rank / 10, so you'd want to start putting ranks into K(arcana). (Note that Bardic Knack does not count as having ranks for purposes other than the skill checks themselves, and if it did it still wouldn't be as many as you'd want.)<br/><br/>As a human bard with Int 14 and Nymph's Kiss, Kass as you know gets 10 skill points a level (very nice) and could catch up to max ranks in only 3 levels, which is before you can quality for ES anyway (27th I think, if she takes ISC again at 24th and 26th, or 30th if she prefers to take Battle Dance at 27th). And-or I suppose I'd be fine with you retro-switching some of her ranks, although I don't have a good specific suggestion; she's gotten a lot of use from all her skill choices, actually. Maybe Hide, since Invisibility often supersedes it anyway (they can be used together, but the +40 or +20 bonus to Hide from Invis is more than most other characters/creatures have a hope of seeing through) and you haven't ever come close to using up your 1st-3rd level slots. Or Sense Motive since Aria's is also high, and often having 1 party member with it often suffices.<br/><br/>She might actually want to just put ranks in K(a) going forward anyway - there are some skills like Tumble where many of the use cases have fixed DCs (like 15, 25, 35 for Tumble, and 20, 25, and 30 for Use Magic Device) and so once you can take 1 and make those, you don't gain a lot by increasing them further (i.e. no need to keep at max ranks). On the other hand, b/c of the way Bardic Knack works, it's generally good to do what you did (max ranks in some skills and 0 in others, since up to 1/2 you're just covered by BK anyway, except for things like synergy bonuses at 5 ranks and miscellaneous prereqs for stuff).  If it's an agonizing decision, it's pretty cheap to increase skills with items.<br/><br/><br/>Aria is now taking Rogue levels again. Swashbuckler-20 would be a dead level, Swash has no official epic progression, and with the epic BAB rules, Swash's main advantage over Rogue (full vs 3/4ths BAB) is moot. Also, the rogue special abilities are prereqs for almost all the epic feats which look useful or which she has an path to quality for.<br/><br/>She's probably putting all her ranks into Spot, for a mod is jumping from -1 to 23. Maybe it's all that recent archery and spam of the Sniper's Shot spell...<br/><br/>She's taking Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting at 24th. Which despite the name, actually seems kinda lame - it gives you one more attack over GTWF, and that's at a -15 iterative penalty, so it's actually weaker than the ITWF and GTWF feats, whose 'new' attacks are at -5 and -10. However there aren't many other epic feats the qualifies for yet (they mostly have rogue special abilities as prereqs - in other words in this level range she might be better off having been a single class rogue.)<br/><br/><br/>Initiative Aria 29<br/>Kass 17<br/>Construct 12<br/>Anya 11<br/><br/><br/>Aria: twisted charge east then north<br/>draw kukri and sunblade; cast golem strike (4/5) and full attack statue<br/>mods 39/34/29/24 and 40/35/30 (23 bab 13 dex 1 or 2 weapon -2 twf 2 charge 2 sacred) (sacred is from bracers of murder vs flat footed foes)<br/>mh http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983409/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983409/)<br/>hit hit hit hit dmg 387 - 4x15 (DR), destroyed<br/><br/>(I believe main- and off-hand attacks jointly go before lower iteratives, i.e. attacks have to go in order of iterative penalties, so with TWF you can do the 1st main- and off- hand attacks in either order but they must go before the 2nd of either. But, since it's easier to roll all of one hand together, and more attacks can only add damage, there's no need to roll more.)<br/><br/>A Aria<br/>K Kass<br/>Y Anya<br/>M mithral statue construct<br/>D gold dragon construct<br/><br/>Oh also - please let me know if you find it un-fun when Aria ends encounters in the same post cycle they begin. Kass usually beats enemy initiative too (and when she doesn't, I can still break the post into 2 anyway so you can react) and I'm always happy for Aria to delay 'til after Kass. When I have Aria go first it's usually just b/c if she does end the encounter it might save a spell slot for Kass (and if an enemy is out of flanking range, it's usually still sneak-attack-able on the first round, b/c a creature is flat-footed before its first turn).<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/><br/>                                       X X X X X X X X X X X X<br/>                                       d . . . . . . . . . . d<br/>                                       d . . . . . . . . . . d<br/>                                       d . . . . . . . . . . d<br/>                                       d . . . . . . . . . . d<br/>   1         6          12          18 X . . . . . . . . . .

From what Kass could recall, the depiction was from ancient times, back when the giants ruled the Western portion of Faerun, which would suggest the Mindflayers ruled the Eastern and Kara-tur.  The hall itself looked to be a dining hall at one point, but was now a workshop... save for the brain-matter splattered about; that was clearly<em>not</em>mechanical parts.  Perhaps in<em>that</em>sense it was still a dining hall...<br/><br/>Of course, amidst the mechanical machinations half-complete, there were two that<em>were</em>complete, a Dragon, and a Giant... the latter moving towards them<em>rapidly</em>.  For a construct anyway.  Blade in hand, Kass simply sighed, not even readying herself as Aria flew past and, having closed her eyes, all she heard of the battle was the creature's musically shredded form of metal being... well... shredded.  Moving a bit closer as she heard the battle come to a hault, Kass made soft, undetectable whisperings of song (Subsonics Feat), not once, but<em>twice</em>, and opened her eyes to see the creature rended, and Aria... well, she'd be regaining that energy she'd lost from before against those many creatures in the sky battle, at least.  Glancing to the dragon, it indeed seemed moving, holding it's chest, and then she glanced at the doors... both ahead and above.  If Karsus was accurate, and she had no reason to believe otherwise, then the door ahead led into another room such as this one, and then above was a single room armed with the many Erinyas devils, or at least what Kass<em>thought</em>to be them... and then the wispy thing...<br/><br/>""We can get that chest on the way out; let's clear the rest of this floor before my blessing has run out."" Kass stated, her face still not the pleased thing it usually was ""Go ahead; the one door leads into the room that held the force-crab, so the next room... I suspect it'll have another such creature of a similar elemental purpose.  At least, that is my assumption, without proof to fact.""<br/><br/>Letting Aria lead the way, and do what she did best, Kass would stay by the side of the door, ready to enter in after it was opened...<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Kass activates Inspire Courage +4, then Inspire Heroics, which both last now for 10 minutes.  That means +4 to Attack, Damage, Dodge AC, Saves, and an extra +4 vs Fear ^_^<br/><br/>Leveled to 25 now, reworked Hide into K(Arcana), took Improved SPell Capacity  again to give me 2 8th level spell slots, and etc.  I'll be going for those Epic spells, obviously, and my 'build' if you will requires 3 things: An item to let me Lion's Charge at-Will (she'll need more than Aria since her stuff is ONLY when moving and ONLY melee), an item to get some INSANE bonus to Spellcraft, like 30+, and currently some sort of +5 Armor that gives her a +6 Max Dex (she has such outgrown her Breastplate, metaphorically and physically XD).  Unless of course, you want to use Defense Bonuses (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/defenseBonus.htm) instead.  If we did that, Kass could literally walk around naked all the time, quite happily and protected, if she wished! XD<br/><br/>However, I am currently reconsidering putting that attribute point in Cha instead of Dex, so I can keep the armor and instead continue boosting my bonuses from Cha... which way would you go, since my Dex is at an odd level prior to and my Cha is at an even?<br/><br/>Essentially with the way she's built, Kass has the potential to be a top-tier Jack-of-all-Trades; she'll literally be best at EVERYTHING soon enough! ^_^<br/><br/>Also, regarding the 1-action-combats: it doesn't bother me so much that she does that; fight's a fight, and that means free experience mechanically.  However, I'd like to be able to have Kass do some of the monster-killing on par with that; let Kass have the spotlight now and then, let her wipe an entire room in one burst of energy... hence why I want her to have the item that lets her Lion's Charge at-will so she can unleash some 120+ damage on one foe in a round.  Not quite Aria-level, but would have been enough to slay a Mindflayer with ease.</div></div>"
35148,Starfall,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=93796.0,"18-04-2011, 01:01:19",ff,"Aria studied the runes with the monocle, and when she activated her blink ring and spoke the command word, an awful stone grinding sound echoed from within the doors - probably their flush setting in the walls had been compressed or otherwise affected by the fall. As the doors tried to move telekinetically like the others, they stood stuck for a moment, vibrating unnatually, almost painfully to look at, like when a wounded animal tries to utilize a broken limb or wing. Then one of the two door-blocks cracked and its upper half fell forward into the room, causing aria to jump out of the way. Then the lower half, and the other door, sank back and began to slide aside into the walls, like the other sets of doors had before.<br/><br/>The pair of doors facing the other rooms were having similar problems, and as they slid aside, stopped short of opening the entire wide doorway - but not too short for the girls to slip through (in fact, Aria realized, it might prove to their advantage if they later retreated, by arresting the passage of larger beings.)<br/><br/>They found a third chamber of like dimensions to that hosting the mithral golem of Hashmal - a third quadrant of the pyramid's first level (which occupied half its height, and thus most of its volume), again with six columns - two of which had also collapsed in this room; the cornermost and the middle one diagonal from it.<br/><br/>The murals of the chamber depicted men engaged in various selfish or debaucherous acts - theft, murder, rape, sacrilege - with the panels scrolling to show punishments meted out upon these same men (often consisting of thematically relevant amputations, or their skulls pulled asunder by the tentacles of mindflayers).<br/><br/>This chamber's floor was not all flat stone, but rather, bore a series of coffin-size recesses over which locked metal grates lay flat. Skeletons lay at rest in some; the recesses appeared to be like cramped prison cells, set in the floor rather than walls, and meant to be walked right over when closed. Redoubling the nature of the chamber were the many chains which'd been bolted into the stone pillars and ceiling, dangling down like lifeless vines. A few skeletons were strung up amongst the links, dangling from cruel hooks that once had affixed flesh to chain. One skeleton was crucified conspicuously close to a mural image of a man crucified for speaking sacrilege.<br/><br/>At the far end of the chamber, between the two lines of columns, stood what seemed both throne and altar; a mirror image of that which the earth-lion had sat in while watching the mindflayers submerge Anya.<br/><br/>This one sat empty. The room's five occupants were gathered in a frustrated-looking semicircle around another pair of doors (the chamber, like the others, harbored four, and one set in the ceiling right above the one just opened by Aria). One of four kytons appeared to be triggering the door blocked by command word, and was having trouble getting them to open properly, moreso than Aria had just experienced. The door-blocked rattled and vibrated, with hairline cracks spreading, yet held firm.<br/><br/>Two other of the four kytons argued in Infernal; Aria could make it out as a debate over whether to try to make the doors work or just smash them, as well as musings over why the pyramid had fallen and what had become of their fellows in the other chambers. Aria and Kass would notice that the kytons didn't appear wounded at all from the fall - but would recall that, they had had struck their fellows in their previous battles in and above the pyramid, the devils had exhibited regeneration of their wounds; slower than a troll's, but faster than the healing from Aria's wands.<br/><br/>A fifth creature stood amid them - an elephantine ram which seemed to burn where it stood, or perhaps more properly, a fire elemental in the shape of a ram. It stood on its four flaming hooves had a cockeyed angle, probably injured from the fall, although its elemental nature made such things harder to discern.<br/><br/>The ram and the devils had not missed the noisy opening of the doors Aria had triggered - their Infernal argument had tapered off by the time the doors were even open and an eyeful of this chamber had been gleaned. For from angry at the intrusion, the devil's faces seem to light up - for a moment with relief, perhaps thinking their fellows had freed them from the other side - and then with sporting bloodlust and an eager rattling of their own body-draping chains.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Initiative<br/>Aria 30<br/>Anya 18<br/>Kass 17<br/>npcs 9<br/><br/>Aria will delay 'til after Kass (as always she can just delay back if she prefers Aria to go first.)

Aria esp. appreciates the bonus on fear saves (one of her most glaring weaknesses) and probably enough time to do the whole place...(would've been enough for the whole Sharran temple).<br/><br/>Yes, you can retro switch her L20 stat increase from Dex to Cha if you prefer. One way to make the Dex 21 req for Battle Dance is a manual of Dex, like Aria consumed recently. (Combined with her slippers, which I allow for meeting the prereq, she'd reach 21.) I'd even be fine with you toggling her original point buy (Dex 14 to 15 could be offset by -2 to str, dex, int, or 2wis, or -1 to Con. Maybe -2 Wis since Force of Personality covers most Will saves, the most important thing about Wis.) Since she has so much Cha synergy, I'd say put all her points in Cha rather than Dex, unless you wanted the Dex 16 to be able to reach 21 with a manual (i.e. have Battle Dance not rely on the slippers).<br/><br/>In fact - I'd be fine with you retroswitching her<em>race</em>to feytouched (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040213a) (I might've mentioned it when you were coming up with her, I forget, since it fit both thematically and mechanically), as she's already fey blooded so it's not really an in-character inconsistency. That gives +2 Dex and, more importantly for her, Cha, and a few other things. The downsides are -2 Con and the loss of the human bonus feat and skills points. Although I alllowed Flaws (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterFlaws.htm) (I think I mentioned at the outset of the campaign, I apologize if not) so that'd be one way to 'keep' the feat.<br/><br/>With both feytouched and a manual of dex +5, I guess she could even reach Dex 21 without level increases or the slippers (although there's not much need - it would only make a difference in an antimagic field - and the manuals are expensive.)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>I thought the last battle (the giantess) would be a fun solo for Kass, with Aria being mazed off the bat, but then Aria made the first Int check...of course, IMO Kass still did most of the work by blinding her (most enemies are not very threatening when blinded, and fairly easy to kill). And in several battles Kass has stunned a bunch of stuff, which is also basically killing them (hp-damage-killing something stunned is the easy party). I figured in the sky battle she was gonna nuke a lot of things with Heaven's Trumpet after Feather Falling Anya...the mindflayers have bad Fort saves (as aberrations and sorcerers) and stunning would probably make them freefall into the ground (from that height it'd take 2 rounds). I'm not saying you did badly, just that it wasn't like a battle situation that implicitly 'favored' a type of character like Aria...and in that case the battle really wasn't designed by me at all, but an interesting natural outgrowth of the mindflayers' capabilities and natural reactions to the pyramid falling. And of course she has nerfed hordes of enemies in other fights, like the sirines behind the theater (which saved our butts since we couldn't see - and Aria couldn't sneak attack - them otherwise) and the priestesses in the sanctuary.<br/><br/>She's been an extremely good jill-of-all-trades, even by bard standards: bardic knack (it's amazing to have someone who is good at EVERY skill in a party size of 2), the runestaff spells like teleport, amazing attack/damage for a bard (even by the standards of a fighter-type, actually), the stunning surge (better than any of Aria's attack-status-effects) and a good variety of spells (utility spells, and attack spells that target each of the 3 saves, or don't allow a save.)<br/><br/>Aria does do a lot of damage, but that's about all she does (and lots of things can negate sneak attack). She has decent variety by fighter-type standards I suppose....lotta skill points including use magic device, and the permanencied divinations have utility usage...but full spellcasting like Kass's will always provide much more versatility, and of course Bardic Knack gives her more overall skill moddage than a typical 4 person party. IMO Kass has been as effective at Aria - it's probably just that you tend to notice the direct-hp-damage more than other things, since that's typically the 'end' step of a fight (after debuffing, buffing, and whatever skills or spells were used to reach the enemies).<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kass can certainly got a lion's charge item when they go shopping (Aria's sheet has an example of a way to do one at-will, by having it cast a metamagically Persisted LP spell 1/day....the advantage of a regular charges/day item is that for a L2 spell it's cheaper up to about 20 charges, and not vulnerable to being dispelled for the whole rest of the day, but psychologically it is nice to not keep track of charges).<br/><br/>Other suggestions for item or tactics:<br/><br/>Belt of Battle: would give her a free move action 3/day, for situations where you want to move + full attack but don't meet charging conditions, or wish to circle around to flank, or you can spend 2 of its charges for an extra standard action or 3 for a full, if you want to cast two spells in a round or something (although her Circlet of Rapid Casting is a better 'deal' for that use case). Also gives +2 initiative.<br/><br/>And/or quicksilver boots for swift-action move (less versatile than the belt of battle, but a better deap. Also gives concealment vs AoOs from moving, not that it matters with the tumble.)<br/><br/>Use Kass's Haste spell - an awesome buff, and combines well with full attacking. With the  Rod of Extend (lol, sounds dirty) it'd last 5 minutes, and she hasn't used her L3 slots much anyway. Also good for Aria since she runs out of boot-haste charges. The increase to move speed (IIRC doesn't stack with slippers, both enhancement bonuses, but is 30' instead of 10') will also help getting to enemies with charges or into flanking position. Haste + lion's charge or other free-movement is a fairly simple way to increase her melee damage a lot.<br/><br/>Augment crystals of return so she can free-action draw weapons (details in Aria's sheet). Not a big deal since they can be free-drawn as part of movement and you usually hafta move to melee attack anyway...but the least crystals so darn cheap by this level.<br/><br/>Badge of Valor - IIRC it increases inspire courage by 1, and is quite cheap. Can grab details for you if interested.<br/><br/>Tome of charisma, since Kass has sooo much charisma synergy (spells per day and spell DCs, some bardic music effects, 2x attack and 2x damage with slippers/gauntlets/snowflake, stunning surge DCs and uses/day, some of her favorite skills, and even more bonuses with Battle Dance).<br/><br/>For the max Dex armor thing, there is the Nimbleness property (+1 base price bonus, or 11,000 gp for a currently-+5-equivalent item) which increases the max Dex bonus of the armor by 2. That'd raise the max Dex bonus of a mithral breastplate to 7, which should as much as she has (even if she consumed a dex manual or became feytouched).<br/><br/>Adding spells to the runestaff. Maybe one or two L7, 8, 9 spells. The only suggestions off the top of my head are Gr. Teleport, Gr. Plane Shift and//or Gate, for uber traveling without the resource expenditure of the staves (the succubus staff costs about 1,500 gp per charge and the scrolls were about 2.5K), maybe Discern Location (an uber hunting-stuff-down divination spell), although I'm sure if I looked through the spell lists I could think of more suggestions. For direct nuking, Horrid Wilting us good (very long range and large area, nonelemental, doesn't hit allies, goes up to 20d6. It's Fort half, so evasion doesn't apply, but OTOH monsters on average have higher Fort than Reflex. And Heaven't Trumpet might actually be better since she and Aria are good at mopping up stunned things.) Meteor Swarm can also be good since the 'primary' target gets no save (ranged touch is usually easy to make). OTOH MS is up to 32d6 which averages 102 - and Kass can do more than that with a regular full attack, without expending a L9 spell! (For combat spells, buffs and debuffs may be better than direct damage, since Kass and Aria can do a lot of that physically.) Runestaff pricing is 400 gp x spell level squared from the staff's highest level spell, plus half that for each other.<br/><br/>(btw one advantage of the using of a higher level slot for a lower level spell *not* increasing the spell level is that those metamagic rods, which have spell level limits, can still be used. A higher spell slot also means higher Concentration DCs, although Kass can take 1 on all those anyway.)<br/><br/>A +30 spellcraft item/ability (added onto her circlet, maybe) like you said, once she has ES."

Move action and Swift will be forgone this round.<br/><br/>Now, you're probably asking 'why is the DC so high?' Well... I took your advice, and Kass is now a Feytouched Calishite! ^_^  Put her last 2 attribute points gained from leveling into CHA, kept all her base stats the same otherwise, gave her the Shaky flaw (-2 Ranged Attack Rolls; she's never made a ranged attack in-game so...) to keep the feat, dropped her ranks in Move Silently (not as useful as Hide+Invisibility), adjusted her languages since she got Sylvan for free, mentioned her creature Type as Fey now, adjusted all DCs etc and whatnot, and... yeah, made her into a full-blown Feytouched, since it was a good suggestion on your behalf ^_^<br/><br/>Now, to complete her, here's what she'll be needing...<br/><br/>-Book of Dex +2, Book of Cha +5 (possibly Book of Con +4 in the future)<br/>-Belt of Battle with extra uses (far more useful than the Lion's Charge, since she typically has to get behind them to flank them, not plausible with charging)<br/>-Badge of Valor ( I pray it doesn't require me to add it to something else...)<br/>-Nimbleness to her Armor (hence the +2 to Dex too, for a +7 with her enhancements)<br/>-Runestaff Spells as necessary (I'll have to look at them all first... problem is wielding it and a blade and everything else...

The bedeviled devils seemed to teeter almost physically for a moment, rocking forward and back on the heels of their bare feet, then one snarled, ""Helped along to the Hells, with certainty!""<br/><br/>Aria sprinted into the room and pushed off one heel, taking flight. She slid out her kukris, crossing them before her in a crescent pattern and triggering the weakness-seeking magic of her black bracers. She almost landed on the fiery ram's back (perhaps she would have if not for thought of getting burned), slicing the weapons the length of its neck and back.<br/><br/>The beast seemed to blow apart in a roar of flame - albeit harmless - and just as Kass expected, the flames imploded into a bipedal, adamantine-armored form, just through the stubborn doorway from herself (and perhaps-deliberately using a column in a bid to foil any second charge Aria might make.)<br/><br/>It had the ruddy-hued, muscular body like perhaps a pit fiend or fire giant, yet its head remained as much like a ram's as anything else, with the curling horns wreathed in wild, red hair.<br/><br/>It carried a long-hafted and double bladed greataxe, and like Hashmal had with his hammer, pounded the flat of the weapon against its own armor and roared.<br/><br/><strong>I am Belias, the executioner. I bring thee down to the fires of the Nine!</strong><br/><br/>It threw out a hand and unleashed a fire storm like the giantess's outside, nearly filling the floors of the chamber, all around Aria and through the doorway to blanket Kass.<br/><br/>The four chain devils laughed uproariously and poured forth, heedless and enjoying it even as the flames licked harmlessly across their own devil-flesh.<br/><br/>They stared down Aria - and the evil, masculine features of their faces shifted. Aria suddenly was faced with four copies a visage she had never really seen before but at once, somehow, knew: the erinyes-devil face of her own great-grandmother. the faces laughed and taunt ed in Infernal, voices suddenly feminine but almost as deep-pitched and no less evil.<br/><br/>Aria's first instinct was to try to steel her mind against it - then something sparked or snapped in her mind, and she flinched physically. She had a brief out-of-body sensation - as if she were standing to the side, watching the psychological torment be directed pointlessly at the column behind her - and then a difficult-to-describe sense that something intangible had<em>missed</em>her.<br/><br/>None of the kytons quite approached her to lash with its chains, though: instead, they moved along the long wall, and gestured theatrically, and many of the chains hanging about the chamber came alive like snakes. They sprouted cruelly barbed razor edges and even extended, one old skeleton falling out of their grasp and shattering, to whip and rake and lash.<br/><br/>Aria, having just bobbed around a column to protect herself from Belias's inferno, thought a chain-melee with these endless devils couldn't gotten worse than what she experienced in the sky - but this was. Over a dozen chains struck as she danced lik ea girl skipping rope; jumping over, sidestepping, ducking, and mercifully blinking out as most of the chains passed through it.

Average monter touch AC might actually get lower at higher Challenge Ratings, due to size.).<br/><br/>Leveled-up-sheet and ideas look great overall. Also nifty to note is that a Cha +5 tome and the next point at L28 will give her a mod of +13 and thus three L7, L8, and L9 spell slots each.<br/><br/>Might consider some charges of lion's pounce in combination with a belt of battle / quicksilver boots, for situations when the enemy is more than 1x move speed away (the main advantage of a charge is getting to go 2x + attack.) I suppose Lion's Charge could even be put in the runestaff for a dirt-cheap 200 gp x 2^2 = 800 gp. I believe that 'casting' a spell from a runestaff doesn't require a 'free hand', just the runestaff in-hand, like with a staff or wand, so she could have the sword in the other. (And lion's charge has no somatic component - probably b/c of it did, TWFers couldn't effectively use it, which would be retarded for a ranger spell since all rangers have TWF or archery feats..) IIRC one of her abilities - Snowflake Wardance I think - says the weapon has to be wielded in one hand, but not that the other one has to be free (whereas some other things, like Duelist class features, require both).<br/><br/>Of course, when the enemy's far away, or even when it's not, she always has a variety of ranged spells to use.<br/><br/>re: stuff in hand and dropping the bow - always remember that a character can put something away as a move action ( I know the Anya thing was a unique situation where her hands were already full) and a a spellcaster, having 'only' a standard action left lets you do almost everything well anyway (whereas a TWFer is very dependent on making full attacks, hence Aria's obsessive kitting out with pounce / move+full attack magic, long range sneak attack magic, twisted charge, and other things to try to get a full attack almost every round). And in most non-aerial battles you can safely just drop something and pick it up after the fight (Aria's done this a few times).<br/><br/><br/>btw, one neat thing I noticed about Epic Spellcasting: it seems to favor spontaneous casters, since they (like with their regular spells) can spontaneously use any available epic spell slot to cast any epic spell they have developed. And since the number of epic spells known is the same for spontaneous and prepared casters (it's just the number you have previously developed) you don't have the usual downside of being a spontaneous caster (having a smaller repertoire than a prepared caster). So a bard like Kass or sorc seems strictly better off than a cleric/druid/wizard!  (I guess wizards have a slight advantage in that Spellcraft is Int-based.)<br/><br/>Another nice thing about bard/sorc epic casting is they have more convenient spell-slot-refreshing rules than wizards (who take a little longer) or clerics and druids (who have a particular time of day)."

Steaming-hot blood gushed as her blade withdrew, literally catching fire as it met the oxygen of the air. The wounded giant roared, rearing its upper body back, and lifting the axe overhead with both arms for a series of from-on-high executioner-style chops at Kass, splitting the stone and cage-grates of the floor with t hose that missed her.<br/><br/>Aria zipped toward one of the kytons, blinking out, and while it couldn't see her positioning her blades for an attack unseen - until she phased back in just in time to cross the curving inner edges of the blades around each side of the fiend's throat. It seemed to react intuitively to the attack, already attempting a skilled dodge even when it couldn't see her, but found itself with its neck trapped and nowhere to go for that split second. The blade edges severed all the way around, almost decapitating the thing save for the spine itself. The nearest kyton howled and reached for it, snarling again as Aria vanished, phased right through its body, and appeared behind it - likewise encircling its neck with both blades, and rending lethally, even as they thing made a gamey attempt to evade.<br/><br/>Her body blurred with a burst of speed-magic, shifting several paces over and behind the next kyton just as it began to move towards where she'd been. As she passed behind it, she sliced both kukris to her own left side, attempting to sever the verbetrae at the back of the kyton's back - but the thing moved with a prenetnatural intuition and anticipation of her attacks, taking shallower slices than she might've hoped.<br/><br/>It howled, staggering back and gesturing with its arms. It and the other standing kyton commanded yet more chains to dance and strike at the tiefling, who sidestepped and ducked several.

The creature began sweeping the axe back and forth across Kass horizontally, its double-bladed head aflame and leaving phantom arcs of light in the dim room.<br/><br/>Several columns away, Aria, remembering that the previous chain-gangs of kytons had been less adept at wriggling away from her thrown weapons and arrows, made no move to follow the back-stepping kytons (indeed was grateful they'd done so). She simply hurled her kukri at one's chest, phasing at the wrong moment and watching as it passed ethereally throw the fiend and then clattered solidly against the wall behind it. The devil laughed, only to take a tossed hammer between the eyes, crushing in its skull.<br/><br/>Aria pivoted and threw at the last kyton, caving in its brow with several more bludgeoning missiles, then spun with her back against the nearest pillar until she caught a slice of sight at Belias. She hurled her last two hammers - and scowled as the giant sportingly batted one away with his axe, and caught the other off an adamantine shoulder blade with an anticliamtic metallic ping.<br/><br/>An almost jovial laugh from the creature was interrupted by yet another sword-skewer from Kass through his thigh, and he slid himself back off the sword - backing away a bit to reduce Aria's visibility while he continued to swing his own long-hafted weapon at Kass.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kass hit hit hit hit miss for 107-4x3(DR) = 95 damage<br/><br/>Sorry; esp. if it would've changed your next action (like maybe you wouldn't hit the 4 clustered kytons with an area spell)<br/><br/>For items which cast/duplicate spells, cost is linear in uses/day. For other items there's no 'real' rule, but along the general 'combining magical items' rule I allow the cost to scale linearly in the uses/day as well - almost as if you were 'combining' two identical items (and didn't 1.5x one) which each have their own pool of charges. So 6 uses/day would be 24,000 gp instead of 12,000 gp (for the default item with 3 uses/day) and so on.<br/><br/>(And for something like the BoB you could consider it to have one pool of charges, rather than two or more pools of 3, so for example you could use 2 charges at a time to get extra standard actions, on three such occasions. It's much simpler than keeping track of pools, and perfectly reasonable. You can also do this with the circlet of rapid casting if you wish. For a typical item which only uses 1 charge at a time ever, scaling up the charges like this is identical to having several copies of the item worn at once, as far as I can tell.)<br/><br/>(And if DM didn't allow this but did allow deslotting items for 2x cost, you could always make N-1 slotless ones. I bet what a lot of people do, if they're not allowed to customize, is just buy/craft several and then swap out a fresh one for each encounter.)<br/><br/>Note that b/c activating the BoB is a swift action and it doesn't grant more swift actions (granting a full-round action doesn't include a swift; a full round action is different than 'a turn') there's no way (that I can think of) to use it / use several BoBs to get more than 1 extra action per round (you couldn't use 2 of them to get 3 full attacks back to back, for example).<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Aria</span><br/>throw kukri at west kyton (-4 attack penalty for using a nonthrowing weapon)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2988852/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2988852/)<br/>phaseout<br/><br/>drop other kukri, begin throwing hammers at kyton(s)<br/>(the reason she threw one but dropped the other is she has 7 hammers, and the subtlety kukri's bonus offsets the -4 but the other kukri would be worse than a hammer)<br/>mods 35/30/25 and 40/35/30/25 (22 bab 13 dex 1 mw 2 blink -2 twf 4 inspire courage)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2988854/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2988854/)<br/>(-1 dmg for offhand)<br/>oh1 hit 97 slain<br/>throw at south kyton<br/>mh2 hit 100<br/>oh2 hit 86<br/>mh3 hit 122 slain<br/><br/>5' step southwest, cast sniper's shot, throw at Belias (he has cover relative to her, for +4 AC, and she has another -2 for being at one range increment)<br/>oh3 phaseout<br/>mh4 atk 25-2+19r miss!<br/>oh4 atk 25+6r miss<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Belias</span><br/>Full attack Kass again (AC 49 w/ the haste)<br/><br/>1st atk 50 dmg 37 slashing + 3 fire<br/>2nd atk 43 miss<br/>3rd atk 34 miss<br/>4th atk 36 miss<br/><br/>5' steps east<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/>                                                             X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X<br/>                                                             X . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The first strike rended upon one side of its neck, and the second swung in perfectly into the same gap. The blade shattered vertebrae and larynx, slashing through until the ram-head was sent rolling over the far shoulder with it.<br/><br/>A high gout of flaming blood geysered from the neck. Burning, bubbling blood flowed free over the ram insignia across the breastplate. The creature dropped, axe clanging loudly before the body did with a true cacophony, blood oozing from a dozen wounds and lighting up.<br/><br/>The entire body ignited with a flash, giving Kass and Aria a quite uncomfortable yet harmless wave of wet heat. Ash spilled from out of the armor, a ruby-colored gem of a ram amidst the grit.<br/><br/>""Yeah!"" Aria landed and danced back and forth, her motions clearly inspired by Kass's own style and probably her subtle singing just afore the battle. She pulled out a wand, twirling it like a baton and then tapping Kass to imbue her with beginning regeneration, muttering, ""Wow, you stood up to more than a few axe-swings!"" with her voice upbeat; again no doubt due to the magi-musical morale. She next pointed out ""Gem's magic, its armor and weapon too....and the kytons have the same armor and footwear auras as those before..."" before she dashed over to retrieve her kukris and hammers.<br/><br/>""The wands may take a few minutes to heal you, like it did for me outside..."" she called, ""assuming you agree it's prudent to wait for that before pressing on, despite the adreline rushing, no reason not to loot while we wait!""<br/><br/><br/><br/>Oops, Aria's attack should've triggered an AoO from Belias...rolling..<br/>misses due to blink<br/><br/>Love the flair.<br/>hit crit hit hit (as in, not confirmed) miss slain!

I know I wouldn't want to get into another fight starting far below full HP.)<br/><br/>oh also btw, when developing epic spells, if you want you can substitute gp for the xp cost; 1 xp = 5 gp, analogous to when someone buys an item like a scroll of Wish or Permanency with a built in XP cost. Since epic spell development costs 9,000 gp x Spellcraft DC + 1/25th that in XP, that conversion would result in 10,800 gp x DC. (In some ways Epic Spellcrafting is like an item crafting feat.)"

The central circles of runes were still dark - and deep cracks had practically shattered the floor of the chamber. Aria realized that since it dipped ten feet down from the corner chamber's floors, it would likely be only ten feet thick from the bottom of the pyramid, rather than twenty. She couldn't see any sand from the desert floor through the cracks, but suspected that if she were to peer straight down into one she might.<br/><br/>The powerful magic aura from the runes was gone, she saw - either the dispelling had been permanent rather than a temporary suppression (such as when the spell is cast upon magic weapons or armor), or the fall had done the permanent breaking. The only magic aura she saw was, she realized from where Zeromus's body had been - and now, instead, merely a crab figurine which seemed carved of pure diamond.<br/><br/>And only some arcs of the rune circles could be seen: a vast quantity of stone slabs and shards had fallen upon it all; Aria was surprised the figurine hadn't been covered or crushed; perhaps Zeromus's body had flashed away like Hashmal's and Belias's after the fall, or even because of it. The rubble piled so high in some places that it nearly offset the curious way the chamber's actual floor was ten feet lower than its doors.<br/><br/>Aria realized that the very ceiling of the chamber had caved in from the fall. Looking up, they could see the chamber above: it was almost pyramid-shaped, appearing to encompass all four outer walls of the second floor, and go nearly to the tip of the entire structure. Horizontally, its floors extended out of sight beyond the upper edges of their current chamber - Aria realized it was likely the same chamber all those ceiling-doors led into. Vertically, it had a small flat ceiling where the sloping pyramid walls converged, which hosted a single door-block similar to but smaller than the ones they'd been seeing in the ceilings of the great first-floor chambers.<br/><br/>The four sloping walls of that high chamber hosted more yet more illuminating lines, hieroglyphics, and murals, of humans standing in judgment before angel-like but stern-faced and none-too-compassionate-looking beings.<br/><br/>And one such being stood upon the rubble in the chamber's very center, fully three-dimensional, alive, and ten feet tall, but lean and human of face, wearing rune-etched full plate of mithral. His features were impossibly regal, and might've been handsome if there weren't something overly imposing, paternal, or even intimidating about them. Long ash-white-blonde hair cascaded over the shoulders of the armor, nearly meeting angel-wings the armor had been designed to accommodate. One gauntleted hand held a great sword probably meant to be wielded in two; the other hand was just reaching for the figurine when<br/><br/>The being uttered words of supremely self-confident authority, somehow affecting body language as if he looked down on Kass and Aria despite the elevated doorway they stood in. ""Declare yourselves, Prime-walkers,"" he spoke - the voice wasn't quite angry or threatening, but rather suggested the speaker felt that what he declared simply was or shortly would be. ""How survived you this fall, or came you in after?""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria also heals herself with lesser vigor x2 (17 dmg I think - woulda been nearly 100 without the Inspire Heroics)<br/><br/>Yeah, the healing will take about what, 11-12 minutes for Kass (1 hp per round and she had a bit over 100 dmg?), so the previous uses of IC / IH would elapse. Nice to have 'em again! (Nice to get so many bardic music uses at this level!)<br/><br/>The central chamber was originally a 50' cube. Its ceiling is collapsed, exposing another vertical 10' before opening into a second chamber above it, which is 30' high and has the shape of a truncated pyramid.<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/><br/>                                                             X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X<br/>                                                             X . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Steel-gray eyes shined as they gazed upon her, ignoring the crab figurine and he nearly seemed to drop his sword. ""Ah, I understand..some manner of traveling troubadours...how funny..."" his wings lowered, relaxed, and he seemed to be daydreaming about some millenia-old memory. The man's stance seemed slightly sore or pained, and his wings bruised - perhaps he too had been injured when the pyramid crashed, although he certainly didn't look as out-of-sorts as one might expect from such a calamity; perhaps he knew some healing magic or had other innate abilities like the regenerative devils.<br/><br/>A second armored angel became visible a moment later, peeking over the edge of the caved-in area from the upper floor, probably having overhead the recent conversation - but once his eyes found it as well, his lips stilled midway through their first explanation-demanding syllable. Holding a previously-lifted greatsword low, he too stood and watched, from the elevated vantage of the broken ledge.<br/><br/>Aria was impressed to say the least, treating herself to a few eyefulls of Kass before studying the angel-men. She guessed Kass's intent for herself, and, handsome and unmonstrous as the men were, given that the first had acted as if he was of the host forces of this pyramid (which seemed so far nothing so much as a floating fortress of systematic enslavement), rather than a incidental interloper like themselves, she had little compunction about striking without further questions. (Their likeness to the murals certainly didn't help either.)<br/><br/>As unassumingly as she might, Aria leaned over the edge, always careful not to obscure their view of Kass - then she pushed off, her own faux-angel wings spreading, and she fluttered up to the ledge opposite the second angel. Her reasoning was that she ought not to give him any advantage of height once she struck, being as she flew more slowly upward - and so that she might see a bit more of the chamber.<br/><br/>It was indeed truncated-pyramid-shaped, with two pairs of doors in the floor just behind her (no doubt those leading to the construct-workshop and the cage-floor chambers) and two other pairs opposite - or rather, two open squares in the floor where she presumed they had been. The second angel had probably just flown up out of one, she realized. From her shallow angle she could only see the stone of the floor  behind those opened gaps, and nothing of the first-floor chambers below (though she presumed the one on the left led to the sarcophagi-vats chamber where they'd found Anya).<br/><br/>Double checking that the angels seemed unthreatened by her rise - indeed, she wasn't sure they'd noticed at all, still fixated on Kass...fixated enough not to effectively defend themselves against her first few attacks, she trusted.<br/><br/>The tiefling jumped and dove off the edge, hovering a bit closer, to get into a proper charging range before she assumed more aggressive body language. Then her body went in a horizontal, and she flew right at the upper angel. She met him with a knife-hand punch of four fingertips against his throat - so that she needn't draw a weapon until after her first attack - which she then did, drawing a kukri and slicing it back-and-forth across the same throat. The angelic being fell back, clutching at his throat and blacking out, nearly falling into one of the doorways.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Oh also my last map gives the false impression that the guys are Medium (the single A, which I Guess is redundant with Aria)...in fact they are Large, (so the first one is in the middle 4 squares of the room).<br/><br/>lol awesome!

Having no immediately visual idea where its weak points were or how its biology (if it had any to speak of) worked,  she triggered her bracers' magic - and as she began slashing through the silvery surface, found she had no idea how best to hurt the thing, merely sending away splurts of the mercury-like substance with every shallow strike; she felt more like she were spooning soup than cutting with a steakknife.<br/><br/>A fourth angel rose through the same 'trapdoor' as the last, its eyes locking on the ethereally flickering Aria as she sliced haplessly at the thing.

While looking around the upper chamber, she noticed it had one high seat like a cross between a throne and a podium, with a lower one by it, and several benches along the other walls of the room...she realized, after a moment, it reminded her of nothing so much as a courtroom.<br/><br/>Staring down into the pairs of doors in the floor on the western side of that chamber, right where two of the slain angels were (they had almost fallen back in it when slain by her) , Aria noticed that the southwest portal did indeed lead back into the chamber where they'd found Anya being submerged. the one on the right, from what she could glimpse of it so far, seemed the only pleasant-looking chamber in the place. She saw a glimpse of a divan with silk cushions spread generously over a frame that might've been crafted of real gold. A palm tree, of all things, blocked most of her view into the chamber. It radiated magic, and she suspected the whole thing was an illusion (Kass with her better knowledge of magic would, while using her divination, be able to confirm the school of magic it radiated as that of illusion), being as it seemed to lack for sun, water and earth.<br/><br/>The tiefling also poked her head back into the eastern chamber to double check that Anya was still okay and invisible. She informed her, ""We're about to look in the remaining, northeast corner of the pyramid...taking you there would require holding you and flying you up over the rubble into the upper chamber to dip back down into a 'door' in its floor which leads to the northeast chamber - sort of like the one above us in this chamber,"" she pointed up. ""Since carrying you presents far extra danger both to yourself and to us, as we experienced outdoors just a while ago, and we might be carrying you right into another fight, just stay here for a bit. Like I said before, don't worry about getting lost, I can see you while invisible. If something skulks by you, just stay quiet and in a place it won't bump into you.""<br/><br/>With that, she motioned to Kass that she was about to peek into the northeastern chamber via the floor-door, being as it was already open. Noticing that the vertical shaft created by the opened 'doors' was ten feet deep, the tiefling hovered in it, deftly inverting herself so that she could peek down into the room - hopefully without being seen by anyone within who wasn't almost directly beneath. She hoped every sentient being left in the place had already been flushed out by their last battle.<br/><br/>The tiefling saw more palm trees, flowering vines which wrapped around columns, and lush potted ferns - all radiating the same magic. She was glad that all the golden furniture she saw - the ferns' pots, more leisurely seating, and a few low-slung tables or beaded hammocks - seemed real enough. She glimpsed a temptingly cool looking fountain near the room's center, with its edges of tiled lapis lazuli and turquoise, rendering the blue water seeming even bluer.<br/><br/>From further away in the room, out of her own sight, came a scritching, clicking sound, deep in pitch; animalistic sounds, and chitinous - much like those the massive scorpion had made, a fact she quickly relayed to Kass.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria take 10 on Hide, using cover of the 'vertical doorway' (the northwestern of the four floor-doors in the upper chamber, the one the sphere rose out of ) while looking into the room.<br/><br/>magic posesssons:<br/>(weapons/armor Large)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Justicators</span><br/>4 greatswords, 4 suits mithral full plate<br/>4 rings<br/>4 handy haversacks containing:<br/>2 rings<br/>bracers<br/>brazier<br/>stone idol<br/>diamond<br/>bell<br/>4 sets of shackles<br/>drums<br/>pearl<br/>eye lenses<br/>2 staves<br/>5 wands<br/>120,000 gp in nonmagical gems and rare texts<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Exodus</span><br/>adamantine sword, mithral full plate (Large)"

Always a wonderful way to scout around or get the jump on foes...<br/><br/>The 'foliage' across the south half of the chamber vanished, revealing more clearly a chamber unlike the others - meant, quite plainly, for leisure and decadence, resembling nothing more than the paradise-like palace courtyards and harem enclosures kept by various pharaohs and Calishite sultans over the ages and which Kass from her geographic and avocational background might've been passingly or intimately familiar. The silk-cushioned and gold-framed furniture seemed either designed to face the central fountain, or to make strategic use of the columns (and vanquished foliage) to provide seclusion.<br/><br/>Aria noted a magic aura from within the fountain; some thing to conjure water, she supposed.<br/><br/>As she floated invisibly into the chamber and flew just under the ceiling, she espied the source of the scratching, in the far end of the room (and barely able to fit there) - a centipede of terrible girth and length, nearly as large as the scorpion. Its bulbous butt faced opened door-blocks leading into a chamber which would've been directly oppose the first one Kass and Aria had entered - given the symmetry of the pyramid, perhaps the centipede had kept in a position oppose the scorpion. She wondered whether it had been in stasis too, and also deliberately or accidentally released by one of the mindflayers.<br/><br/>In any case, the thing was animate now, its ruddy green-brown carapace stretched along the back end of the room, and its hundred-some legs clutching the floor and furniture. Its huge-mandibled head worked more avidly - it appeared to be feasting on a barely recognizeable human carcass, its visible shreds of flesh a Mulhorandi copper, and the scraps of clothing of a white and tan coloration and similar style to that of Karsus and the two soldiers' packs they had found in the southwest chamber. If the great vermin had noticed the vanishing 'foliage', it obviously hadn't let it interrupt its mangled meaty meal.<br/><br/>Aria floated back to Kass, whispering what she saw, and saying ""If it lacks any attack at range - venom-spewing or innate magic or somesuch - I suppose there's a chance we could down it from afar at little danger to ourselves. It's almost as tall as the chamber and could probably reach us even from the ceiling, but it seems a bit cramped and I imagine the columns would slow down its horizontal movement.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>t10 on hide / ms (ifwhen I forget to mention relevant skills, Aria always takes 10 when she can)<br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;""><br/><br/><br/>2nd floor<br/>' gaps in floor (opened vertical doorways, or the collapsed floor / ceiling of the central chamber of the 1st floor)<br/>d closed floor doors (transverable like normal flooring)<br/><br/>X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X<br/>X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The dagger had been discovered to hold several attack spells, and while she had the luxury of ambush thanks to Kass's illusory magic seemed a fine time as any to experiment with one. Plus, if the creature's carapace proved difficult to penetrate with weapons, such spells of pure energy, or the moonblade she'd evoked while Kass had distracted Leila and Firion with a mouthful of, well, Firion, would be useful.<br/><br/>She saw Kass appear, and<em>heard</em>as well as saw the end of the chamber rock with a sonic explosion which caused gold to bend and many of the centipede's legs to snap, and its body and many-eyed head to dent in weirdly with squirts of gray-green ichor.<br/><br/>Aria triggered the dagger's magics. Three arrows of pure electricity lanced out from between the knuckles clutching the dagger, and darted at the open mouth of the centipede - only to vanish harmlessly where they touched it; the thing either absorbed electricity harmlessly, or had drow-like magic resistance, or some other defense; it certainly hand't dodged, and the lack of magic auras from it (and its reaction to the sonic spell) strongly suggested it was no illusion.<br/><br/>Aria flung the dagger itself at the eyes of the monster (activating the magic of her gloves so that it would, in a few moment, return to her without the disgusting task of later digging it out of such a creature). The silver weapon stuck in, and Aria sent several hammers after it - aiming for the hilt of the dagger, driving it more deeply in like a stake. Probably it reachd the primitive brain, for aftt the third such strike the creature collapsed, a hundred frantic legs suddenly still.<br/><br/>""Yuck,"" the visible-but-blinking Aria studied it a moment; once the dagger boomeraded back into her grasp telekinetically, she flew in to retrieve the hammers from the gargantuan carcass.

She poked her head in the adjoining north-central chamber as well. She found it almost perfectly symmetric to the south-central chamber where they'd fought kytons and minflayers, one of the latter letting the scorpion come out of stasis by dropping that crystalline egg when it'd died. It occurred to Aria that they'd fought four kytons and two illithid in that chamber - the same counts as one of the two groups which'd teleported outside the pyramid when it fell; perhaps that group had been in here before the fall, and let the centipede come to lift.<br/><br/>In any case, she found nothing of note, just the smooth black stone surfaces with the everpresent glowing lines, hieroglyphs and imposing images, and door-blocks leading back to the chamber with Belias (the same set which'd been jammed) and a set leading outside the pyramid - directly opposite to the set she and Kass had originally ethereally traversed.<br/><br/>Back in the luxurious southwest chamber, she took it upon herself to take a closer look at the fountain - especially the urn-like magic item spewing forth endless fresh water.Aria couldn't quite tell where the water was<em>going</em>, but the fact that the fountain wasn't overflowing, and the tiny concave grooves at the bottom edges of the pool, suggested it was allowed do drain somewhere; maybe out the bottom of the pyramid, although she didn't recall seeing an obvious stream of water they'd been on its underside. Perhaps it diffused over sufficient area to come out as airborne droplets or vapor. Aria realized such engineering might even allow the pyramid to form a fog-like mist beneath and around itself, helping disguise it as a low passing cloud.<br/><br/>But the tiefling was more concretely interested in magic baubles she could steal - and so she spent a minute studying the urn through the monocle, learning the command word to cease the water flow, and another minute chipping away the stone which held the magic urn in the rest of the lotus-like fountain pedestal. Given how long they'd also spent healing after some previous fights, she was rather glad that the luxury of time had been afforded by Kass halting the pyramid's westward movement via dropping it out of the sky. Aria remarked to Kass that before they left the pyramid, they might spend a few minutes breaking the golden furniture into haversack-manageable pieces (fortunately, virtually all of the value of worked gold was in the gold, and in any case mending magic was always an option for reassembly)<br/><br/>She then joined Kass in, as the bardess had suggested, flying up to the ceiling of the upper chamber to inspect the small door-block (the only one they'd seen which was not part of a pair) which led yet higher. Aria studied the nearby magic door-runes for yet another minute, learning their command word, and gestured that she was about to open it - after blinking yet again.<br/><br/>They found a room which, compared to the generous dimensions of the lower chambers, seemed positively claustrophobic. One of the angel men would've barely fit here, but a shattered skull-chalice and splattered brains on the floor suggested a mindflayer had been the most recent occupant; Aria recalled Karsus saying this was where he'd been kept and telepathically interrogated by the lone mindflayer who'd warped him out of the falling pyramid.<br/><br/>The floor was also scattered with shards of mirror and crystal, and one more warped of gold, with binding ropes hanging empty where a sitter's wrists, neck, waist, and ankles would've been. The ceiling of the room was not the black obsidian of almost every other surface of the pyramid - but rather the underside of the crystal tip of the pyramid, now shot through with hundreds of radiating cracks, and missing pieces which explained the carpet of crystalline shards across the floor. A narrow table of gold was also overturned, with papyrus maps scattered across the floor.<br/><br/>The only magic aura in the room was an illusory image, a floating, one-foot-diameter blue-green sphere recognizable as a globe of Aber-Toril. It slowly rotated about its equator,and three golden line segments of like poked out its surface like porcupine quills. All there were almost equatorial, and nearly a third of the way around the globe from one another. One was recognizably just to the southeast of the Sea of Fallen Stars, as far as they could tell in Mulhorand about where they stood now. A second was near the far end of the same megacontinent, the far southeastern land of Malatra. The third was in the other hemisphere, across oceans from the other two, where the land narrowed between two barely-conjoined continents; the equatorial land of Maztica most known in Faerun from reports by Amnian conquistadors."

Kass said, as she continued with the maps ""If not... I'm sure these maps will work.  Once we're done here, all we have to do is go to that mechanized dragon and the chest... but perhaps we'll be able to salvage something there, considering it didn't attack us outright like the other one.  If not... well, I doubt it will be a problem if it puts up a fight."""

After a moment of consternation, Aria remembered that she still had the atlas tome from the temple library which they'd used as a teleporting aid; she withdrew it, flipping through, and made marks as closely corresponding to the illusion globe as she could.<br/><br/>After gathering up the maps (and breaking apart the valuable chair and table of gold to loot them, much as in the lower chamber) they, as Kass had suggested, visited the construct-workshop chamber again, where the invisible Anya still was keeping herself safe. Aria studied the chest from which she'd sensed a magic aura, and studying herself there was no mechanical trap, tested it, and found it unlocked as well.<br/><br/>Inside lay a tome with a cover composed of bronze, cleverly hinged at the spine, under several small metalworking tools, and a gold amulet. This last radiated the magic; the chain was of bronze, so too the pendant shaped remarkably like a miniaturized version of the gold dragon construct nearby. Aria eyed the construct warily as she donned the monocle and studied the amulet for a moment before actually touching it. When she did lift it, she noted its great eyes snapping open, and following the amulet as it rose, but the rest of the great golden-scaled body kept a perfect stillness almost unachievable by living organisms.<br/><br/>Aria smiled. ""When I divined of the amulet just now, I learned what you must suspect already - to possess the amulet is to possess the construct.""<br/><br/>She stared at the dragon thoughtfully, and her hazel eyes moved about - and as they did, the snout of the dragon moved to the points in the air as she willed.<br/><br/>She offered it to Kass.

She chuckled under her breath as she heard gasps and a few screams from the ground below.<br/><br/>As Kass landed in the courtyard with all the poise of a cat from a tree (fitting givng the particular goddess of the temple, one supposed), some of the more shocked onlookers turned to gasps of relief, awe; a few even broke into applause, and the rest soon followed.

""All very well, but the gods know what may've stuck uninvited to your fair flesh in such a place, and if it yet clings where we can not presently see. You are most fortunate to've been brought to a temple - ensuring the well-being of the human body is what we practitioners of the divine are probably best known for among secular townsfolk. That and divination..."" his own eyes fairly scryed Anya as he spoke.<br/><br/>The priest tented his fingers respectfully when Kass informed him of the slain. "" 'A', yes, but not 'two'; among us, only Rana...""<br/><br/>The priestess had already begun approaching as she overhead. She spoke thoughtfully, ""I could, potentially, raise the dead, taking several days to raise several souls. Of course, not all souls wish to return, and our resources to do so are limited...""<br/><br/>Aria hopped down and explained, ""Apparently a small expedition was sent out by the pharaoh, in fact the other day I remember hearing about one passing through town..."" the others nodded, remembering, ""These were two of them. I'm none too familiar with the local customs and the nature of your government, but if the raisings were pursuant to royal business, do you suppose the pharaoh's court would...""<br/><br/>Rana was nodding her head, and Semmon's eyes positively lit up, as if suddenly flecked with the same diamond dust required for such serious magic. ""Ahh..."" he stroked his beard, ""Such a thing would not likely leave our temple the poorer. Perhaps I'll be accompanying them when the time comes; I've not been to Skuld in too long, and..."" he smiled at Rana, ""It would be well to make sure the pharaoh's ear knows of the part played by our temple. At the very least, I expect I can...convince the court to see that I return not lacking the things to ensure we could reprise such services if we were so needed again."" He rubbed his hands, most certainly thinking of pouches of diamond dust therein.<br/><br/>He looked at Aria, ""You'll have noticed Siwa's a small village compared to the concerns of the empire; all this may seem mundane to planar quest-trekkers such as yourself, but it's the sort of thing townsfolk will be speaking of for a while to come, and in all likelihood our temple has had little reason to pass through the thoughts of the royal head for years.""<br/><br/>Aria had seemed intrigued in in agreement with the things Kass had said to her, and nodded, ""I am most eager to lighten our load, in a place with the liquidity to lighten it! I will presently of course be identifying via the monocle the gear we've glaned, as well as looking over the maps a bit more. And it will be nice to see Saturnia again...and I wonder if the foolish, poor Faebion ever recovered from his little encounter."" She laughed and patted the snout of the dragon-construct, which a few of the more daring ,younger Sharessans were likewise inspecting up close. Most had likely never seen a construct<em>or</em>a dragon, certainly not such a magnificently shining creation as this.<br/><br/>Semmon hardly waited once the tiefling and Kass were conversing to put his hand around Anya's rear again and lead her about the courtyard, gesturing about with his other arm to describe the general layout of the place and talk it up. He led her down the arcade along one edge of the courtyard, and through an interior hallway whose other end spilled into the pebble-landscaped lawn where Kass had first found him meditation when she was asking around about where the wicker effigy in her scrying might've been. Beyond the lawn stretched a neat grove of olive trees, and beyond that, the open desert. It was not yet noon, and the olive trees cast shade over an arc of wooden benches where the female acolyte Semmon had gestured to several minutes before was just now placing out folded clothes, a two-piece white cotton wrap typical of the women here, towels, a decanter of water and a bowl.<br/><br/>""When you wash,"" Semmon explained, touching Anya's rear yet again, then brushing back her blonde hair, ""You will dry more quickly here in the open air, such is the arid climate, than if we had remained indoors."" He paid no heed to the dark-haired acolyte girl, who knelt silently upon the grass n the shade of an olive tree, as if awaiting any further biddings, as he spoke to Anya with his continued familiar hand gestures right upon her body. ""Concern yourself not overmuch with privacy, for if you mean to linger here, one of the first tenets of Sharess you are likely to learn and revel in is the celebration of your own countenance. For you in particular, my girl, have much to celebrate. Let us discover just how much."" He gestured to her outfit, and then gestured away.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Spells from a runestaff have a 3/day limit , and we've used 2 teleports (one to and one from pyramid) but I suppose Kass could always use the 3rd to go there and then rest while the orders are filled (which realistically takes awhile anyway), just like last time.<br/><br/>(Also, if there's a runestaff spell you may want more than 3 of, I suppose you could add it 'twice' to the runestaff. Sort of like if you found two nearly identical spells, say Orb of Fire and Orb, of Cold, and added both.)<br/><br/>Oh also - whenever Kass has unused spell slots at the end of the day, she might as well cast some spells into her ring of spell storing, so that she has them as 'extra spells' later.<br/><br/>Sure, put the effigy in her sheet, it'd be good to have it in one or the other for future reference of its stats.<br/><br/>Like your item choices, I can tabulate the gp values for those items/upgrades for you soon.<br/><br/>With what you have now for keeps and purchases (not including any stat manuals/tomes, see below) I believe it would be:<br/><br/>Kass keep value: 422,020 (includes half of split stuff)<br/>Kass liquid: 683,870 (gp from sold stuff + liquid treasure....equal to half total value - her keep value)<br/>plus per previous gp: 742,703<br/>cost of new purchases: 447,300 gp (BoB, BoV, Nimbleness, luck/sacred, Spellcraft)<br/>liquid after: 295,403<br/><br/><br/>Yes, the gems are slotless. Agree that Kass should use the True Seeing (since Aria's See Invis has partial overlap, as does Arcane Sight; it can indirectly hint that illusions are illusions, since they are spell effects and thus radiate magic auras, as with the 'plants'.) Am fine with keeping/splitting the other gems. Neither girl needs the energy res much (high reflex and Evasion), but I suppose Kass should keep them on her person (Aria's reflex is a bit higher, and she has a little fire resistance as a tielfing.)<br/><br/>Hmm, actually, having them on the dragon might be a good idea. Constructs have a lot of status immunities, and this one has DR 15/adamantine, but it has no energy resistance or spell resistance, and very bad touch AC and bad saving throws (as do almost all constructs; their racial HD have poor/poor/poor saves and they have no Con mod, and usually middling Dex and Wis). It'll be immune to most Fort and Will save effects, but a lot of Reflex save and ranged touch effects are energy damage, and vice versa (like Fireball and Scorching Ray). Plus, enemies might tend to go for Kass and Aria first with single target attacks (presuming they control it anyway), but area effects are one of the typical dangers for 'sidekicks'  (I noticed that familiars, animal companions, and paladin mounts tend to get Evasion abilities and I bet that's why). So given that Kass and Aria virtually always avoid energy damage thanks to Evasion (have they taken any so far in the campaign? Kass took a little from Belias's flaming axe) the gems might make sense on the dragon.<br/><br/>Aria will probably keep the ring of FoM (some redundancy with Blink but it's one of my favorite buffs), and maybe spell turning, and maybe the gloves of endless javelins (will help with her perpetual hammer shortage), and the archery bracers (too bad it's only bows, not thrown weapons).<br/><br/>One way to do the manuals/tomes for Kass's stat increases, I realized, is scrolls of Wish (or the staff or Wish we just got). The price is very similar (27.5K per point from a tome, 28,825 for the scroll of Wish, where 25K of that represents the 5000 XP included in the scroll - and is probably how the price of the tomes was calibrated) and Wish doesn't have the 48-hours-of-reading. Come to think of it maybe Aria will use some or all of 'her' half of the Wish staff to up some stats. She already did her most important one (Dex), but Con is important for anyone, and Str and Int are somewhat important to her too.<br/><br/>Badge of Valor is normally a necklace item, but it's only 1,400 gp, so you could make a slotless one for 2,800 gp.<br/><br/>I found two more IC boosting effects: an item which increases your effective bard level by 5 for IC (which I think always means +1 exactly), a bard spell which increases IC by 1.<br/><br/>I also found a bow with an effect very similar to Snowflake Wardance (Cha-to-attack by expending a use of BM; damage too). If you're going to a buy a new bow, it seems like a fitting base. Since its price (12K) doesn't correspond to that of a +2 or +3 weapon (8K or 18K), I'd infer that the 'song' ability is intended to be flat-price (i.e. doesn't increase the bow's base price bonus and thus the cost of adding any further abilities like making it +2.)<br/><br/>Of course, Kass's ranged debuff spells (including the low level ones) are very strong tactics against anything without really high Will saves / SR, but if she's gonna buy a new bow, that seems like 'the' bow for her.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Vest of Legends item (DMG II, pg. 272). +5 comp. bonus on Diplomacy and Perform checks, plus Bard level treated as five higher for purpose of determining the effects of inspire courage...Price: 16,000 gp<br/><br/>(If you don't care for the skill bonuses, you can 'strip them out' by reverse engineering the price. Skill bonuses are 100 x bonus squared, or 2500 gp for +5, and those are probably 1.5x'ed,  which would be 7,500 gp, aka 8,500 for just the IC thing. Sort of reminds me of a monk's belt, which raises monk AC and unarmed damage by 5 levels.)<br/><br/>Inspirational Boost Spell (Spell Compendium, pg. 124).<br/>Level: Bard 1<br/>Componants: V, S<br/>Casting Time: 1 swift action<br/>Range: Personal<br/>Target: You<br/>Duration: 1 round or special; see text<br/><br/>Text: While this spell is in effect, the morale bonus granted by your inspire courage bardic music increases by 1. The effect lasts until your inspire courage effect ends. If you don't begin to use your inspire courage ability before the beginning of your next turn, the spell's effect ends.<br/><br/><br/>Bow of Songs (Magic Item Compendium pg. 48)<br/>Price (Item Level): 12,330 gp (13th)<br/>Body Slot: - (held)<br/>Caster Level: 8th<br/>Aura Moderate: (DC 19) evocation<br/>Activation: Swift (command)<br/>Weight: 2 lb.<br/><br/>This +1 shortbow blends music with every shot to deadly effect.

The priest had half expected to be 'doing all the work', as had been the case with a number of acolytes, village girls, and other men's wives over the years - but Anya's body moved most enticingly in front of his, drawing his eye with its every sway of each curve, and she practically impaled herself back upon him.<br/><br/>He gripped her buttocks just shy of bruisingly-tight. At her query, he glanced down between them and chuckled warmly under his breath. ""To a most ready state seems precisely where you have brought me."" He nudged her butt tellingly with the head of the phallus now grown hard as the black obsidian of the baleful pyramid (and mercifully not quite as pointed as its crystalline tip, though Anya might feel otherwise in just a few minutes). ""Now let us see where else I can go.""<br/><br/>With that, the next time the blonde thrust herself backward against him, Semmon positioned himself just so - the tight ring of her anus would find itself pushed against the tip of his cock, then cleanly spread outward upon the rounded sides of the head. Her side to side wriggling only helped fit the cavity around his protruding, upthrust organ; and within a second the pink walls of the girl were widening and breaching around Semmon - who eagerly thrust himself up and forward. Several inches of Sharessan shaft buried themselves within the blonde's butt, and Semmon doubled over suddenly with a maddened groan. ""Goddess! Such exquisite<em>tightness!</em><em>Excruciating</em>- wonderfully so! How could man believe your body had any destiny other than to be seized and sodomized by he!?""<br/><br/>The priest straightened himself - and as he threw his upper body back into a vertical, his hips whipped forward, thrusting his cock up into Anya's tight anus until his pelvic bone slapped against the small of her back. He reached before her to seize at and grope her breast with one hand, and the front of her crotch with the other - only to fondle masterfully, and pull her back flush against him, impaling her upon the full length of penetrating phallus again and then again."

The cloak-winged tiefling alighted to as spot on the roof, traversing from the courtyard-end of the ledge over the roof until she overlooked the olive groves behind the temple instead. Anya hadn't been hard to find, what with her moans echoing nicely against the stone surfaces of the temple. From Aria's present angle, she could see Semmon backturned and bending Anya over before him, far enough over that the blonde could've thrown her palms upon the nearest bench...and with a smirk Aria noticed the dark-haired acolyte kneeling near them, bearing impassive witness to her senior prieste's ravishing of their guest.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>(She did mean 'us'. The note was to both of you.)<br/><br/>We can go to Tsurlagol whenever (no need to wait on Semmon / Anya / inf's posting); Aria's IDing will take an hour or so but obviously that's to be breezed through.<br/><br/>Random note: the spoiler tags on Kass's sheet are producing a two-layer side effect where the Code: Select things are in little folds and you can only see like 1 line of the text at once.<br/><br/>Ooh, nice spell choices, I'd even once thought of putting Shivering Touch on Aria's gloves, and had meant to recommend Irresistable Dance once but probably forgot. Those two and Maze are crazy good what with the 'no save' thing.  And in general I agree about using debuff spells since her melee damage is so good (and b/c it's really easy to damage things that're held, blinded, etc., esp. with this party, since such foes are usually subject to sneak attack by virtue of being blind or helpless).<br/><br/>Ah yes, ""wand chambers"". The staff is actually bigger than the sword - staves can be wielded like quarterstaffs.<br/><br/>I think I mentioned once or twice before that you do not need a hand for the runestaff AND a second, free hand; just the runestaff in hand (I double checked this in MIC just now). It's really only a concern if you draw the runestaff and then later cast a 'regular' spell.<br/><br/>How to deal with free hands (you're doing most of this already but listed fro completeness):<br/><br/>1. I noticed you tend to err on the side of drawing stuff you don't need yet, perhaps to save move actions later (like with the bow).  Since almost all spells are standard actions, for the runestaff you can usually wait 'til the round you're casting with it. And for the sword, you've usually had to move beforehand anyway, so the action to draw it gets absorbed into that. There are of course two several reasons to draw something on a round before you use it:<br/><br/>- When you might not want to spare the move action next round (except to full attack, etc.)<br/>- ""Threatening"" aka flanking or attacks of opportunity. To make AoOs or count for flanking, you need to be 'threaten squares' which means being 'armed' (even if you can draw something as a free action, it can't be done when not your turn). So that's one reason to draw a weapon 'early'. But if you don't expect to actually attack with it, you just want to count for threatening, you could even draw some random cheap weapon and then drop it later.<br/><br/>2. Be willing to drop stuff (usually harmless, the bow was an exception obviously).<br/><br/>3. IIRC none of Kass's special one-handed weapon things like snowflake wardance or slippers of battledancing require the other hand be empty (whereas the Duelist PrC does have restrictions like this). With the sword in one hand and the runestaff in the other, you can still use both.<br/><br/>4. Aria has a bunch of crystals of least return Kass can borrow/have (and if you by more they are a steal at 300 gp)..Least crystals require a mw or better weapon, and although I forget if I ever said it before, consider the runestaff a mw quarterstaff. (It requires two hands to wield effectively as a weapon, but not to cast with, or to hold passively.) Some of the SRD staffs are even +2 quarterstaffs or the like.<br/><br/>5. Now you have a bunch of BoB charges to get swift move actions, which can be used to draw or sheathe stuff.<br/><br/>The only sticky situation I can think of is where you end up drawing both and then needing to do something else like cast a regular spell, draw a wand, grab a load like Anya, etc. Which are corner cases, and most of the time they can be solved by dropping something, or taking a move action to sheathe something - if you're casting a 'regular' spell, you probably have a spare move action that round since you're not full attacking and Kass has the Concentration to avoid AoOs without moving out of range (worst case, a move action is 1 belt of battle charge). IMO dealing with Aria's free hands (it's a subtle but important liability for a TWFer) has actually added a lot of interesting strategy."

She felt different, probably for good. Invigorated as if she'd been born anew, almost shedding her body for a new one, and as if electrifying waters raced through her mind, opening up new passageways and heights of thoughts - it reminded her of being a small child, and managing to ascend to a new height in her favorite climbing tree, or if expanding her diction through reading, or unlocking new secrets of mathematics and philosophy.<br/><br/>Below, Semmon was maintaining a tight clutch on Anya's hips, though frequently he slid a hand up under her blouse to masterfully fondle and grope at her breasts, or under the front of her skirt to slake several fingers in the moistness of her femininity - only to insert samesaid fingers into the blonde's mouth, and whisper for her to lick and suck, nibbling her ear and neck all the while. Eventually be bore her forward sufficiently, and bent her over enough, that her arms were bracing against the trunk of an olive tree, and its leaves hang down lazily to tickle their skin as their bodies moved. Never did the pounding of her ass relent, the silver-bearded priest's vigor and energy rather good for a man his age<br/><br/>So too his dispensation - finally Anya would hear the unabashedly worldly and pleasures-of-the-flesh priest throw his head back and groan up into the boughs of the olive tree. His hips smacked her buttocks mightily, burying the rigid shift in her to the hilt for the hundredth of thousandth time - and now, throbbing, pumping no small volume of seed up into the forbidden recesses of her rectum. Semmon, Aria noted from above, noted a much more fluid (so to speak) continuation of his copulatory motions throughout his release, continuing to smoothly fuck the bent-over blonde rather than just going still and rigid while he unloaded, or descending into a few jerks or grunts. The priest's nostrils flared and he released a long, baritone, truly blissful exhalation. His eyes lidded, and he seemed to focus inward, upon the pleasure of sweet release into the girl, and the sensation of her anal cavity stretched about his penetrating girth.<br/><br/>Anya would soon feel something far more unusual - though a girl might expect a certain amount of pain or pressure when being thusly sodomized by a sizeable phallus, after the ejaculation she would begin to feel a warmth, and a building pressure, which only grew and grew. The blonde's breasts and cheeks and buttocks seemed to swell a bit, and then her skin all about, almost as if she were drinking gallons and gallons of water within the space of minutes, or were having some uncanny allergic reaction. Stretch marks appeared across her fair flesh, swelled and stretched beyond its normal limits. Her fingers and lips would feel puffy, and difficult to properly manipulate.<br/><br/>Semmon gasped out in shock, and attempted to extricate himself - which he found painfully difficult, as the swelling seemed also to manifest inward, pressing her anus inward around the buried shaft, constricting it. The priest palmed Anya's butt and the small of her back, and he groaned uncomfortably as he slid himself outward inch by inch. The prominent ridge on the head of his cock snagged on the tight ring of her sphincter, and with a sudden jerk, Semmon freed himself - but the pain caused him to black out where he stood. He slumped back onto the sandy soil, his cum-streaked phallus bruised and lolling like a drugged garden snake.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Okay, I'll do new gp numbers for Kass.<br/><br/>Leveling (and stat-bonusing) Aria....oh also I realized I made one awkward error with Aria the whole time: Hide and MS are not actually Swashbuckler class skills!

The Mulhorandi tended to go in for shrouded burial themselves - dessicated within the simple sand for most folk, or entombed in stone and possibly mummified for those of sufficient wealth or clout - but as Anya's blonde hair had marked her from northern nations, and gods know what uncleanliness might lurk in the illithid-violated flesh, a pyre fire it had been; which, if the blonde hair marked Northman heritage like Aria's, was as unlikely as anything what she would have expected.<br/><br/>In a remote, separate-from-the-building cellar just for such funerary preparations, the bodies of Karsus and the priest were still kept.

The skeletonized Karsus seemed, not so much to heal, as to be replaced entirely, a living body fading in gracefully over the charred bones. Aria had a strange sense that she'd stared into his soul for the briefest moment, or into some upper plane.<br/><br/>The sensation from the less-destroyed body of the other royal surveyor was subtler but similar. Aria handed back the utterly bewildered man his holy symbol - and she noticed that when Rana was quick to comfort and offer fresh clothes to Karsus, Aria swore he and the priestess recognized one another.<br/><br/>They filled the returned-to-Faerun men in on what had transpired since their respective demises, carefully couched to hopefully cast them all in a (deservedly) good light to the pharaoh.<br/><br/>Rana wished off Aria and Kass with kisses, once they doubled back to Volera in the courtyard, then cast the planeshifting. Unlike with a teleport spell, the caster needn't go with the travelers, and she didn't, just as Saturnia hadn't on the reverse trip.<br/><br/>The adventuresses found themselves in a secluded alley of pink-marble walls and flower-garnished windowsills, a petitioner couple making out feverishly against a nearby column, and a narrow strip of Brightwater's characteristic rosy-gold ever-evening sky above.<br/><br/>A single intra-planar teleport brought them to the first spot they'd met - the cozy cushioned and bead-curtained lounge n the Den of Divine Diamonds.<br/><br/>As luck would have it, the familiar face of the blonde-maned Faebion lounged in that very spot. Ash-white robed, he sat back leisurely in a bamboo chair a great spellbook cracked open in his lap - and, Aria noticed after a moment, he appeared to be balancing it upon the fair shoulders of a naked redhead crouched between his widened legs, servicing the wizard orally even as he studied (which he genuinely seemed to be - a strange way to study....or perhaps it was concentration itself he practiced now).<br/><br/>Faebion brightened and greeted the two adventurers by name, spouting off several expressions of glee in Celestial and then Common; then without even being asked, volunteered, ""...but you're more likely looking for the ghaele, eh?

The giant-size creature was recognizable almost at once as a fiend of power, with the notorious bat-wings, horned head, clawed hands and feet, almost reptilian skin....and a smell not entirely unlike Aria's when she sweated profusely, but a thousand times as potent, as of an entire forest had been set ablaze and was just now refused to cinder and ash.<br/><br/>The fiend's hurtling body devastated the lingerie storefront, and the bricks and glass shards seem not to hurt him at all. The creature rose with a roar, a robin's-egg-blue bra dangling from one wing talon, and a matching pair of panties hanging from a horn and almost down over one eye like a pirate eyepatch.<br/><br/>The creature faced the gaping front of the bakery it'd just come through - and out from the great hole of its passage stepped a second fiendish creature, also a dozen feet tall, and even bulkier. It too had a giantish, ruddy muscular body with bat wings, but its features were less sharp, and more mottled and almost piggish, and its mannerisms and body language were wilder. It smelled horribly of sulfur, clutched in one hand an apple-sized orb of prismatic colors, while its other arm was just now swinging with the follow through that'd thrown the other fiend clear through the wall.<br/><br/>Kass would recgonize the two foes by description: the thrown, a pit fiend; likely a general among devils, answering only to the Nine masters of the Hells, notorious for bringing to bear fire magics and powerful physical strikes when not marshalling platoons of lesser devils to do its dirty work.<br/><br/>The more heavyset creature which had thrown this archdevil through a wall was its opposite number in the beastiaries of the Abyss: a balor, one of the most destructive of demonkind, also a terrifying thug of a fighter and fond of fire and telekinetic magics; in fact, in all probability it had hurled the devil across the street through a combination of muscle and magic.<br/><br/><br/>Yeah, although no real knowledge needed here anyway, since he gave directions. (Or if you meant navigating rather than the post-plane-shift teleport....plane shift is 5 x 1d100 miles off target, so even if you know which way to go it would take awhile.)<br/><br/>Assumed that Volera would be along with us, if not that's fine. Also Aria bought 4 wands of Repair Light Wounds for it, and two exotic military saddles (or rather one that fits multiple, so doubled the cost - it's Huge so it can accommodate several riders.) Even if they don't fight mounted, like most nonmagical stuff it's cheap...and a subtle social benefit is that a weird creature with a saddle is less likely to be taken for a rampaging monster.<br/><br/>The two fiends are 45' south down the street from us, the throwee is also 30' to the right (east) and the thrower 30' to the left.

At first Aria feared some other spell, but hen the balor clapped several more times, and began laughing insanely, gaily, suddenly bereft if the fearsome gravitas she had felt when witnessing its pit-fiend-throwing feat a moment before. The beast of a demon was jumping up and down, cobblestones cracking and crunching under its girth, in fact it seemed to delight in thrusting its legs down as it landed to smash and crush the stone as much as possible.

He hooked his clawed hands under the armpits of the dancing balor - which began to laugh ludicrously and hurl vile Abyssal taunts and insults at the devil, but made no resisting struggle against the grab beyond the natural difficulties of the chaotic moments from its destructive dance.

The body of the balor exploded before it could fall even a single foot: for a split second, its limbs and digits were flying outward in all directions, then even they do were vaporized as a radiating sphere of fiery light encompassed all. It lit up the rosy Brightwater sky like an ungodly firework, then was gone just as quickly, leaving a fine, sparse snowy powder drifting down.<br/><br/>The pit fiend slapped his knees, roaring with cruel delight and savoring the victory.

Aria began explaining their recent experience and also sharing one maps.<br/><br/>Then, Saturnia spellcast...much as the first time they'd been bound for Siwa - and now, to a different continent entirely.<br/><br/>The air was at once oppressive: clothes-soaking humid, and tropically hot, and quite stifling, for the air barely moved. They were surrounded by thick, emerald-green, leafy foliage, keeping the air quite still. Sunlight blasted brightly through thick-leaved boughs overhead, but in a way the patch of jungle was quite dark, so thick was the foliage.<br/><br/>The humming of thousands of insects, and the kooky and elaborate calls of dozens of tropical birds, rendered the air as noisy as it was humid. One sound yet stood out in character and in volume, though: an ominous, deep<em>munching</em>and<em>crunching</em>.<br/><br/>Aria made an effort to use the foliage to keep bodily occluded from that direction as she stalked slowly toward it - and after only a few dozen feet, could see far enough through the continuing foliage to mark a sudden clearing only another thirty feet away. So sudden a clearing, on reflection, it was probably made so.<br/><br/>The smell became equally apparent -that of fresh, bloody death; the iron smell of blood thick in the air, and a thickening buzz of insects. The clearing appeared to be the site of a straw-hut village...or what had been, until quite recently. Several dozen human bodies littered the blood-soaked dark earth, every one with black matted air, their skin tones coppery, but with as much exposed red gore or blood-smeared skin as still-naturally-colored flesh in their present states.<br/><br/>Every straw hut had been torn down, flattened, or burned, and at the center of the otherwise-flat clearing a creature was curled up like a cat, but big as a small hill: the great wings, and long limbs, tail, and neck marked it a dragon, and its scales shimmered iridescently in the sunlight, casting colors about the clearing. It munched thoughtfully on a human corpse, the source of the sounds which'd brought Aria that way - but just then other sounds echoed: feminine but cruel giggling from high on the curled creature's back.<br/><br/>Two women perched there, bareback on the dragon; their own stark naked skin was also shining and iridescent, and draconic wings cloaked their shoulders.  They stared toward the right from Aria's point of view, pointing and laughing elsewhere in the clearing - where a third woman, more human-looking and ethnically identical to the many corpses, was writhing violently; from the ground around her, rubbery dark tentacles rose from the earth, wriggling and writhing and sliding about her copper-colored limbs. Tentacles tightly squeezed her breasts and buttocks and throat, and several others had inserted their wriggling tips into her mouth, vagina, and anus.<br/><br/>She was the obvious source of the amusement and dark giggling of the two dragonback women, who alternately pointed and laughed with their clawed fingers, and made horseplay at trying to stick samesaid claws into one another's naked orifices.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Forest is dense, with heavy undergrowth from the forest floor up to altitude 10' (4x movement cost, 30% concealment, -5 tumble and move silently) and typical-size trees (+2 AC and +1 reflex saves from cover, don't affect movement) from the forest floor to a typical altitude of 50'. Visibility from a random square in a random horizontal direction is 2d6 x 10'.<br/><br/>The clearing to the west is visible from up to 30' deep into the jungle (where Aria is at). The dragon is Gargantuan (20'x20'), and 100' west from the edge of the clearing. Kass recognizes the spell effect Black Tentacles, which occupies a 20' radius spread centered 60' north of the dragon.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Not making a deal is different than not honoring one...just b/c a creature is the type to make deals, and honor those it makes, doesn't mean it'll necessary go for any particular deal. The fact that you've done it in 3 other games doesn't mean I DM differently than they do, it means those NPCs made deals they wanted to make (and/or that those DMs were willing to 'throw it'). In this case the creature saw little incentive in procuring a female for Kass's sake when it just go get what it wants elsewhere.<br/><br/>No, rolling Diplomacy wouldn't've made a difference (you never lose out by not rolling stuff, I just make rolls for Kass when they are called for but not yet made - usually happens with 'passive' things like Spot/Listen/SenseMotive where the knowledge of the check being made would itself convey the essential information). Sorry that Kass would've wanted to attack it otherwise, I didn't get such a vibe from your earlier posts (which is part of what Aria looking to Kass for cues was a reference for; curiosity about whether she planned to attack it instead of honoring the agreement to let it go with the orb, which is why I didn't have Aria give the orb back in that post). Also I should note for future reference that it would'n't've been able to automatically teleport first anyway if the teleport were a spell rather than spell-like ability, or physical flight, since those have visible/audible initiations...characters are only able to do such things when the nature of the action is that it can't be noticed except by the effects of is completion, and thus can't be intercepted except by an opposing action which by chance is simultaneous)."

I assume that that happens at some point so the items renew and whatnot, or are they just back and ready to go already?<br/><br/>Also, since Black Tentacles has a tendency to kill people it grabs (and every non-combatant around Kass tends to <em>die</em> horribly), Kass is Greater Dispelling it after activating Inspire Courage (she can do that silently without detection due to Subvocals), so... 9 + 20 = 29... hope it's 18th level or lower CL &gt;.&gt; (and that reminds me that we have a wand of black tentacles... and I have a fun idea of how to use it ^_^)<br/><br/>Maybe not the smartest tactic, but hey, IC she'd do that, and I'm stating now her goal is to <em>keep the woman alive</em>, so if we have the time and ability, she'll DD herself and Aria over to the Dragon (on the OPPOSITE side of the woman, to avoid collateral damage) so that Aria can do what she does best and open up a grand ol' can of whoopass</div></div>"

One shrieked and pointed east - to where the light glinted off Volera's back.<br/><br/>Before they could do anything coherent, though, Kass has altered reality with a second, different type of spell - and Aria found herself now hovering almost face-to-face with one of the dragonback women.

Their long, thick and primitively braided hair hung in every color of the rainbow, and their skin was almost as iridescent as their wings, and vaguely reptilian; leathery but still supple.<br/><br/>Whatever its characteristic, Aria had little intent of leaving it umblemished: she flew nearly between the two women, arms spinning up from her hip swat a kukri suddenly at the end of each. One kukri sliced between two bulging vertebrae in the dragon's back - although she was nominally planning to attack the maybe-spellcaster women first, Aria hoped a burst of nerve pain would keep the dragon off-balance a moment more into their blitz attack - before arcing up and stabbing into the underside of the chin of the nearer dragon-woman. Aria sliced open the woman's breath as she pulled the blade out, simultaneously sweeping her other arm across that one's throat to rend it open horizontally.<br/><br/>The bareback-riding draco-women slumped upon the great iridescent back of the dragon and began to slide down opposite haunches, leaving bloody trails - and Aria, now standing right on that back herself, threw herself down into an almost knightly kneel and slashed several more times at the dragon - but every time, her kukris seem to sink into scale-flesh so thick that the creature seemed totally uninjured; she might as well have been gouging into blocks of wood tied to its back.<br/><br/>Even now roaring in pain from the first stab, the dragon twisted its shoulders and threw Aria into the air. The beast spun, quickly for its size, its eyes twinkling with predatory intelligence in every color of the rainbow. The crest atop its head vibrated rapidly, and the beast's jaws flew open almost impossibly wide, like a serpent's.<br/><br/>What came forth seemed far more impossible to Aria - not clouds of flame of lightning, nor gouts of acid or frost - but pure light, of every visible color.

What came forth seemed far more impossible to Aria - not clouds of flame of lightning, nor gouts of acid or frost - but pure light, of every visible color.

She had a particular sensation of being bathed in an indigo band of the rainbow...<br/><br/>...no, she was seeing it flow through her, but she was ethereal! Suddenly she realized she'd just had a few thoughts she couldn't<em>quite</em>recall; that tantalizing feeling like when you wake up from a dream you cannot remember. She had a vague premonition that seeing the light had somehow affected her psychologically or psychically with a glimpse of what might have been, and how terrifying the roar of the dragon as it breathed, had her body been truly bathed in the light.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(I'll iterate once more that, differences in results of an action between one campaign or another don't always reflect systematic differences about 'how things work', as it can just be the particulars of each situation, and in many cases (but not this one) the luck of rolls....of course, there probably *are* differences, for example I've noticed that most male DMs will almost always meet female PCs 'on their terms' when it comes down to it rather than having a male NPC walk away.)<br/><br/>Oh, you wanted to rest?

They have seen the black dragon flying in and out of the lake, with captives even, and believe it to lair at the bottom of the lake, or underground via some submerged cavern, or something. She says she could lead us to either lair, although she's scared of being seen by the other dragon or anything else which light lurk at either lair.""<br/><br/>As she spoke, Aria was using a kukri to pry various scales in the dragon's rainbow-colored corpse....she'd sensed no magic auras from it or the winged women (more's the pity), but, like some dragons, this one seemed , for the sake of vanity, to've bejeweled itself by inserting gemstones - almost all diamonds and emeralds and discs of jade, she noted - under its own scales, which enhanced the shimmer of its own body in the sunlight. The tiefling scoured the body with a thorough, disciplined greed, even cuing Volera to turn over the massive body at one point so she could inspect all sides.<br/><br/>""She doesn't know exactly where the jaguar-men came from or went. She does know they appeared from and left north, and thinks they used a certain northeast-southwest running shallow flat stream to travel - apparently it's not uncommon for people here to use streams like roads; the jungle is so thick that it can be faster to travel by wading through shallow water, and the air tends to be slightly cooler over a stream.""<br/><br/>""The other thing she's mentioning about the area,"" Aria continued to translate as the woman rapidly spoke, ""Is that those like herself - humans, I guess she means - in addition to other nearby villages, live in at least one larger 'village' to the northeast. A great village built with wood upon a lake, and who build 'hills of stone'. They were many different skins and feathers, and make more and better weapons. She fears these larger tribes; apparently they sometimes demand tribute from the villages as well, but not lately, and they more often carry disease.""<br/><br/>Aria queried her again, then translated to Kass, ""She says the city can be found from that aforementioned stream; it diverges from a larger one which in turn flows out of that lake."""

The native woman, meanwhile, was stunned into silence and stillness; she'd probably never been airborne before, Aria realized, and any creature the general size and shape of Volera had been a threat (like the rainbow dragon they'd just slain, and this apparent other black-scaled one).<br/><br/>Aria was practically thankful for Volera's speed as well - surely enough to outpace a man or jaguar or anything in between. Fortunately, the stream the woman suspected they'd followed was visible from the air, despite the overhanging large-leaved rainforest trees - and more than a few colorful tropical birds scattered away as Volera passed overhead.<br/><br/>After several miles the air lit up all at once, blinding-bright, as if for one instant the sun itself were amidst them. Aria found herself reflexively throwing a forearm across her eyes and leaning so far in the saddle she was hanging down one side of Volera, using a wing for cover.<br/><br/>As the light dissipated after an eyeblink, the air became blustery rather than bright - leaves whipped up and swirled around them from the jungle canopy just below; they were in their own little tornado! This effect persisted rather than passing in an eyeblink, and Aria found herself once again reacting reflexively, this time pinching the saddle with her thighs to keep from being blown away into the open air.<br/><br/>The Maztican woman, meanwhile, screamed as the sunburst burned deep into her flesh, leaving her reddened and blackened. The wind them picked up her bodily, and a horrible snapping sound echoed from her neck and spine as it spun her about in the evoked whirlwind.<br/><br/>Ahead, in the open slice in the jungle canopy formed by the partially-overhung stream, the source of these not-entirely-natural effects could be glimpsed (Aria only wished she had done do<em>before</em>being glimpsed!) Two slender women radiating almost elf-like beauty were just lowering graceful arms from flowing motions, having almost certain spellcast and been the originators of the phenomena. Although each was barebreasted and nearly naked, she wore a loincloth and patchwork of skins and feathers and pouches, and jewelry of jade and gold. Kass would guess from their figure and faces that these were fey, and in fact nymphs, although such aggression was unusual for such creatures.<br/><br/>Behind them, six others stood in the stream: men of the same ethnic features as the villagers, with caramel skin and smoldering dark eyes and long shining black hair, yet each sported musculature of upper and lower body alike which in any other circumstances would've had Aria salivating and tail-twitching. For they were also loinclothed and shirtless, yet wore eagle-feather cloaks of white, which even sported beaked hoods, and were strapped about with hide bracers and with primitive but powerful looking bows, arrows, and javelins.<br/><br/>Four of the men were facing upstream, watching the fifth and sixth: each of whom stood before a kneeling and far less powerful looking human, one a youthful male and the other a slim female counterpart, wrists bound behind their lower backs. The feather-cloaked men had the youth's heads in claw-like grips, and each was forcing one to perform orally, ramming a distended organ between stretched lips again and again. The other four men were laughing and slapping one another's shoulders, and making comments (which Aria was fine with not being able to comprehend from this distance).<br/><br/>At the cries of the two nymphs, though, the men began to turn about, or extricate their phalluses from the mouths of their captives,<br/><br/>Then, they began to change. Fur seemed to sprout right through their pores, an a gold and black spotting pattern.

She phased out, seeing the nymph in a ghostly gray as her leg passed 'through' her chanting lips - but the tiefling hooked her heel back, and reappeared to everyone else with that heel cracking sharply against the back of the nymph's head. The fey, caught quite by surprise unlike with the arrows, hadn't rolled with he impact or dodged at all, and was jarred violently, spell ruined. Aria's nearer hand flashed out with the kukri, slicing through naked leg tendons, and the nymph fell helplessly, splashing in the and stilled save for the motions of the water around her.<br/><br/>The other nymph, still casting, was eyeing Aria evasively, and saw the redheaded assailant vanish again. She looked around helplessly, turning about constantly as if expecting Aria to appear behind her - which she nonetheless did, slicing the kurki in between her shoulderblades and then kicking her right in the small of the back. The fey's four limbs all went stunned at once, spell ruined, and she too flopped into the water.<br/><br/>She managed to cry out enough for the flying lycanthropes, puzzled by the disappearance of those on dragonback, to turn about. They howled in unison - some sort of savage war-chant - and even began what barely passed for singing, wheeling about on their feathered cloaks and flying back upstream towards their dropped companions, abandoned captives, and the two intervening adventurers.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Volera can only 5' (perhaps it was a typo, or perhaps you thought creatures could 5'-step as far as their own size) and also you can't 5' step in the same round where you do other movements.<br/><br/>(Also I'll note that Remove Blindness/Deafness from the wand will work on Volera. Constructs are unaffected by things which allow Fort saves unless they have the harmless descriptor, which it does. They would be immune to Fort-save-allowing blindness such as the Blindness/Deafness spell or the nymph blinding beauty, but not to Reflex or Will blindness like Sunburst or Glitterdust.)<br/><br/>re: 'where the mechanics end and the roleplay begins' - no reason the two should be at odds. (You do see people say things like that often, generally when by roleplaying they mean 'being able to do what I want with no obstacles' which in my observation in the long run leads to less interesting and varied roleplay since you see the same patterns every time, since the effects of the circumstances get washed out / ignored / bypassed.)<br/>My advice would be to think creatively and in-character about ways to accomplish things, like:<br/><br/>-Aria spams her new Charm Monster item unless it works. Oh wait, it's Charm Person not Monster, oops. Which is weird b/c they Heightened the item to 4th level. I remembered it had the typical DC, 16, of a 4th level spell item. SO it'd work on humanoids, like human lycanthropes, but not fey.<br/>-Threaten to kill captive if it tries anything (it still might, but it only gets one try).<br/>-Cast an enchantment spell after telling captive they will be killed if they resist it (creatures can voluntarily fail saves)<br/>-Dimensional Shackles we looted prevent teleportive abilities (note that breaking fingers etc. doesn't necessarily stop spell-like or supernatural abilities, since they have no somatic or verbal components.)<br/><br/>Also, Kass's feytouched race makes her Fey type and immune to the blinding beauty.

(If A goes before B during a round, and then delays 'til after B, they stay after B for subsequent rounds. You can also delay to 'flip' from later in one round to earlier in the next. Once combat begins, the round breakpoints have no effect, they're just useful yardsticks. Turns are simply a rotation, like a circle, with no beginning or end.

The youth was short but had a lean musculature, of the sort that would probably fill out into the power of his captors' given a few more years.

The catmen are...more easily negotiated with,"" she smiled and licked her lips, ""And, shall we say, a more pleasant fit for a nymph.""<br/><br/>Ixchebel for her part already had more fit than she could handle, making many muffled groans as KAss's enormous organ stuffed itself again and again down the deepest recesses of her wet mouth and throat. She tiled her chin just so, and her neck tensed and stretched again as the nymph accommodated the phallus with great sucking motions. Now seemingly seeking to 'prove her loyalty' as best she could, surely thinking it the best course, the nymph received the cock with all technique; her tongue spiraled and slid along it, her lip pursed and slid and hugged snugly, and she even hummed, causing pleasurably vibrations upon the rigid flesh of the organ ardently sodomizing her desperately performing mouth.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Locations:<br/>From the origin village, a stream goes downstream/southwest (for a few hours' walking) and waterfalls over a cliff. An hour north along the cliff the slain rainbow dragon's lair is in the face of the cliff.<br/><br/>From the base of the waterfall, the stream continues; several hours along it southwest is a lake, which the black dragon has been seen in/under.<br/><br/>If from the origin village one follows the stream upstream/northeast, one comes to another lake and a much larger human settlement, which the nymphs have said they and the werejaguar came from. (The one the human woman spoke of and the one the nymph spoke of are the same, Xcaret, your comment indicated you thought they were different - of course, the characters don't *know* they're not at this point, but we do know they've both been indicated in the same direction, and that the nymphs admitted to being from the same place that the woman said came from and left in the direction of.)"

She braced in anticipation as Kass circled behind her, not daring to look back, and so the precise timing of the sudden reentry of the cock came as a surprise - the nymph threw her head back skyward at the first lancing into her anus, crying helplessly, and squeezing her eyes as tightly as the cock felt shoved up her butt. Her body swayed on knees and elbows with the reaming, breasts swaying pendulously underneath her gasping torso. She alternately threw her head down between her shoulders and reared it up again, gritting her teeth, and whimpering, sounding utterly helpless under the strength of the sodomy and the threats of worse if she resisted. ""I understand!"" she cried, lower back bowing sinuously as she took it up the butt from Kass, and the enmagicked shackles jangling with each rough thrust, ""I shall serve! I shall worship! If you can prove yourself the stronger than the others, you shall find us the most eager and talented concubines one could wish!""<br/><br/>Yumcaax hung her head deferentially, balancing her own throat precariously on the concave edge of the kukri underneath.

The cavern entrance opened into the sheer cliffside, beginning over a hundred feet above the base and likewise ending far below the cliff edge above. A climb from either direction would've involved skill and daring indeed - such lairs were perhaps prized by dragons; difficult to access and unlikely to be stumbled upon by anything which could not fly.<br/><br/>Coming even with the sixty-foot-wide entrance, Aria noticed that it was uncannily smooth-surfaced within: a confluence of the crystalline structure of the opaque but lusteruous walls, smoky quarzs probably, and perhaps magic used to shape it.

Kass's and Aria's flight speeds are IIRC 40' and 60', which would be 8 mph and 12 mph for as long as they could hustle, 4 mph or 6 mph at ""walking"" pace. (In other words, if they want to fly separately from Volera - I'm guessing you're hoping that would draw any future attacks like that Sunburst away from the humans - note the speed tradeoff.) Wind Walk allows 60 mph flight. Note that the gaseous form of Wind Walk precludes many combat actions, so basically there's a tradeoff between speed and readiness (it takes 5 rounds to shift forms; dismissing a spell is a standard action but AFAICT only the caster can, and only for all targets together). One piece of advice if you're worried about being attacked in flight is to suggest a high cruising altitude so that things on the ground are less likely to notice or reach you unexpectedly (but obviously that makes it harder for you to see and be in range of things). If you want you can give 'general travel parameters formation' for altitude, distance between chars, etc."

Once close enough to see through to its ten-foot faux-thickness, she could clearly see into continuing tunnel beyond, still with its flat surfaces of dully gleaming smoky quartz.<br/><br/>It didn't continue far, though: the illusionary wall was just before a T junction; a real wall stood sixty feet beyond the illusory one, betwixt which the tunnel turned both left and right.

The nymphs seemed less trepidatious about passing through, as if more comfortable with magic, but all of them stayed stone-silent. Aria began blinking and, as she and Kass advanced up the right branch, they found the tunnel mostly maintaining its straight edges and dimensions; sixty feet of width and half that height.<br/><br/>After about sixty paces it angled left by a third - and after a similar distance angled again, as if they were going counter-clockwise around a hexagon. The tunnel became somewhat less smooth and worked; spikes of quartz crystal, themselves hexagonal prisms, jutted from the floor and ceiling like geometric stalactites and stalagmites.<br/><br/>At the outer corner of the second turn they saw a small pile of grasses and hides, like a primitive bed; two small for the prismatic dragon; perhaps it's winged-woman hangers-on had nested there. But after making the turn, a larger, grander bed could be spied at the corner of a third turn ahead: a pile of crushed ferns underneath a spread of gold and jade, with a circularly depressed shape like a curled-up cat might make (if it were the size of a whale) - or more likely, a dragon.<br/><br/>The nest was not napped upon, but nor was the hall deserted: a primitive reptilian creature crouched in a tense pose. The creature was low-slung but as wide as an elephant; somewhat lizardlike, it had a more primitive, and far more stupid look than the dragon, and was perhaps not even dragonkin. It rather resembled the dinosaurs of Chult and Maztica, a stegosaurus perhaps - save that the spiky ridge cresting along its head and back shimmered with every color of the rainbow, casting light about in a way which seemed to cause the visage of the beast itself to dance and move about like a kaleidoscope or a wizard using displacement magic.<br/><br/>Aria wasted little time in triggering some of her usual magics, then rapidly alternating throws with her hands: of javelins of pure force from one, thrown right out of the glove itself, and hammers from the other.<br/><br/>Half the missile of the volley missed the creature entirely,  passing through the colorful shimmers of light which had appeared to be the solid body of the beast...<br/><br/>...and the other half struck it, only to ricochet right off what was apparently a supremely hard scaled hide.<br/><br/>The creature was perhaps strangely silent, issuing no roar as it bared its teeth, and pushed its claws against the floor, readying to charge. Aria practically imimiced its expression, her own face going more angular with a scowl after realizing its defenses.<br/><br/>Aria gasped as the creature neared, and the shimmering light from its spine ridge seemed to strike her body.

One might've expected such a setup amongst elven nobility or the wealthiest house of Waterdeep, not in the Maztican jungle.<br/><br/>And it was three pale-skinned elves who sat along one side of the table: the central one bore pale blue skin, white hair, black breeches, and a silk shirt of intricately interwoven azure, green, and and white. Sitting at his either arm were two elves of pale golden complexion, one each visibly male and female, for they were naked to the waist. They sipped a honey-colored wine and laughed politely as the sky-skinned elf regaled self-importantly with some tale or other, making theatrical gesticulations in between hearty mouth-bursting bites of green grapes."

Since flanking matters more to Aria (+4 instead of +2, and sneak attack) she likes to go 2nd. Also Kass usually moves at least 10', which makes it easier for her to flank on her turns. (If the flankee 5' stepped but is stil adjacent to Aria, as in this case, Kass can usually move 10' to regain flanking even before Aria moved. Aria could also spend an item charge to swift move 10', but she figures Kass is going to use the BoB for the slippers anyway, so she might as well let Kass do the movement.)<br/><br/>(If these tactics seem like a 'metagame' consideration induced by the rules, I think of it as the way the rules incorporate and incentivize the footwork and gradual movement you see in fencing, or at least Hollywood fencing - where every duel involves the combatants moving around each other and the floor rather than staying put excactly.)<br/><br/>Plus Kass's attacks are more likely to stun or otherwise debuff, which often helps Aria's connect or add SA (for example stunning or holding allows SA even vs a foe with Uncanny Dodge and Improved Uncanny Dodge.)

Once the nymphs had healed Kass and Aria, they did as bidden, helping the elves onto the landed Volera. The elves seemed less shocked by the flying metal dragon than the two humans had, perhaps by dint of prior experiences with Elmorel or other elves steeped in magic and other wonders.<br/><br/>Aria shed the charcoal-gray-black garb she normally wore, leaving her armor, the tight undershirt which guarded against chafing and kept her breasts from bouncing, and her various trinkets of magic and bandoliers. She wasn't too concerned about getting the clothing wet for its own sake, but rather the drag and weight induced by cloth.<br/><br/>Although she presently lacked swimming magic like Kass's pearl, she was decent enough from her coastal upbringing and a few prior adventures, and their freedom-of-movement rings would allow them to fight reasonably underwater - even with slashing weapons; normally one was wise to stick to thrusting implements like spears and tridents and daggers when underwater.<br/><br/>Fortunately they found the lake far clearer once they got beneath the scummy surface - indeed, Aria found it beautiful, in a way, with the tropical sun filtering in nicely. It quickly grew deep away from the island, over a hundred feet, with a forest of weedy plants choking the lake bottom much like the underbrush of a forest.<br/><br/>Aria gestured toward the west - where just before the muddy floor began to rise again towards the western banks, there was a sort of gap; a long running and deep set 'shelf' or lip where the ground jutted inward. Aria swam deep enough to see right under the lip; gradually the wide recess grew narrower as it receeded, going so far back that its back was probably underneath the jungle rather than the lake, before it split into two narrower underwater caverns, each veeing away out of direct sightline.<br/><br/>Sitting upon an underwater at the crotch of the split, was a single female humanoid figure; naked, her skin a dusky golden-black hair, and her body cloaked by reptilian wings with black scales. Her sharp fingernails and teeth were quite visibly, for presently the winged woman was voraciously devouring some still-wriggling rainbow-colored fish.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Most wondrous items don't cover much skin (jewelry belts gloves etc., and if you wanted you could ""trim"" things like the phoenix cloak down to a choker that occupies the same magic item chakra, make gloves fingerless, bracers down to bracelets, etc.), armor can be glamered and/or with a high enough dex, bracers of armor can be as good or better.

Remind me to give her 1 more rank next level up (or keep a and fuse a Str item at some point); with 1 more point she'd've been able to make the DC 30 check all the time by taking 10 (when allowed to take 10 anyway).<br/><br/>Whereas Kass has a swim speed of 60' feet from the pearl (and can charge underwater; actually so can Aria but distances will be short due to her speed (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040622a (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040622a))).<br/><br/>I think they can speak underwater (without water breathing it would drastically reduce how long you could hold your breath, although I don't think there are actual rules for that, and spellcasting with a verbal component would involve a concentration check)."

Her flesh had an overly firm, supple and leathery look to it, golden-black in hue, with the wings almost completely black and the front of her body and limbs lighter than the backsides. ""The subtle flattery directed towards my sire is noted; it is, I suppose, an advisable way to deal with dragons.""<br/><br/>After three hundred feet, the circular tunnel had curved very gradually to the right and had narrowed to forty across, now pitch-black but with walls within Kass's blindsight range from the center.<br/><br/>Just then she and Aria would also sense a current of faint water, and swimming sounds, coming from behind them - the distance beyond Aria's darkvision range, at the very least.<br/><br/>""Is the dragon outside?"" Aria asked, frowning and looking nonplussed by the idea that it might be trying to put itself between themselves and the exit (of little consequence with Kass's teleportive magics, but not something that would bode well for its demeanor), ""Behind us - or perhaps, siblings or friends of yours?""<br/><br/>Tlatrien paused and treaded a moment, seeming to listen and pay attention to the feel of water rushing across herself - she even stretched her wings as if to maximize the surface area exposed to currents through the tunnel. ""It must be the worm!"" she then spoke in a rushed, fight-or-flight voice, ""Woken from the lake bed by your passage!"" Her vertically-pupiled eyes widened, but Kass and Aria would both get the sense that while she was speaking of a real creature, she was not in fact really surprised - and perhaps had even expected or banked on the visitor."

Aria, body still horizontal in the water, speared her arms out almost simultaneously, making a Y-shaped drive of her kukri tips under the ribs of two of the dragonesses. One screamed as she was pierced through the heart much like Tlatrien, the other had a moment of relief as Aria vanished before the other, adamantine kukri drove in, leaving another body bubble - but then Aria reappeared, body twisting and kicking. Face to the ceiling of the tunnel, the cold iron kukri sliced through the water above it and into a third half-dragon heart.<br/><br/>Glancing at the last spellcaster, Aria clicked her boots together and vanished again - this time deliberately; a short-range teleport behind her target. She appeared behind the half-dragoness, between her wings, save for her left arm, which was reaching around across the woman's throat, which she opened with the kukri's concave edge.<br/><br/>Kicking the body away as blackish blood clouded the water, Aria cast her eyes back up the tunnel, back through the wall of thorns.

""If it's something big I might see how well my crossbow works underwater.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>I don't think Wall of Thorns blocks line of sight (or interferes with projectile weapons). It doesn't say either way (which would've been nice), and generally, things only do what they say they do or what derives from what they say they do, for example 'total cover' or 'total concealment' = no LoS). Secondarily, I notice that Web specifically says it provides cover after 5' and total cover after 20' of intervening webbing (and so suspect WoT would have similar wording if intended to do so), meaning Web does interfere with projectiles (cover = +4 AC, total cover = can't, or 50% miss chance if the missiles can pass through objects, like an arcane archer's phase arrow) and line of sight (cover = fine, total cover = none).<br/><br/>However, Kass wouldn't be able to charge that round anyway, b/c the enemies were out of blindsight range from her initial position (this was not the motivation of their moving back 5', rather, it was to be 15' from Aria since they saw her charge 10' last round, and given that she was using slashing weapons underwater, they suspected she might've had FoM). She would've been able to do a regular move (since her swim speed of 60' is > the distance) and then attack. (Once she got within 30' she'd regain line of sight, allowing her to make a regular attack without the normal 50% miss chance when attacking a foe you can't see; charging has that special rule that you have to have LoS from your starting position.)<br/><br/>mods 42/...

Its forelimbs stretched forth with the claws fist into fists, and the creature's head was crocodile-skull-like; the skin had sunken and stretched with age, pulled tightly across the skull. The face also seemed almost demonic, for it sported horns like the balor's, jutting sideways from the head and curving around to point forth.<br/><br/>Several chains of gold webbed its torso, and two more of the human-shaped half-dragonesses stretched their own bodies across its chest. Each had her back to the beast, much like the pair 'riding' the worm, with similar jewelry looping her against the chains on the dragon, and her feet tucked in the dragon's chains.<br/><br/>They set baleful eyes upon Kass and Aria, trying like those before to stun with a single supernatural stare. The dragon, when it saw Kass toting the unconscious brethren, released a bubbling roar and set upon her with a fierce chomp of its long crocodile-like jaw. As its head shot forth on a lengthening neck, it jerked its wings forward over its shoulders, trying to buffet Kass with the ridges of bone running up the forward edges.<br/><br/>Coordinated with its many limbs, the dragon also hooked inward with its foreclaws, trying to grasp Aria between the sets of cruel claws, and its impossibly long tail whipped up from underneath to smash against her.<br/><br/>Aria phased and desperately floated aside while on the ethereal plane, only to find the canny dragon, as soon as she reappeared, following through with one of the sweeping claws.

It magicked up for this fight!""<br/><br/>She spun her body around, and her uninjured leg swept in a crescent up between the heads of the stretched-across-the-underbelly half-dragonesses; the ball of her foot struck one in the temple, then Aria whipped the leg back to strike the other in her temple as well. Aria folded her legs in, drawing her body yet closer, and smashed an elbow and the butt of a drawn kukri into the noses of the women, whose heads sagged, eyes no longer lucid, as Aria dragged the blade itself along the stretch of underbelly of the creature between its riders' heads.

If you're having issues viewing Kass's stats b/c of the spoiler and 'code' tags in her sheet, you might consider 'flattening' it out (i.e. removing them) at some point. For example, you can quickly scan to Aria's reflex save via CTRL+F then type ""reflex"" and find other things on her sheet that way. You can't on Kass's sheet w/o opening the spoiler tags, and the code tags mean that only 1.5 of the 5-6 lines of her weapon's stats can be viewed at once, which can be less expedient. Spoiler tags are great for compactness on a page with many char sheets (and in principle it's considerate of you to use them - it's so annoying when someone insists on having every feat and skill or a separate line, double spaced, taking several pages you have to scroll past every time you want to see the other char sheets), but since I don't use page 1 for anything other than the sheet's, and there's only 2, I access Kass's as often as Aria's, and I use CTRL+F to go to stuff, flattening would work fine.<br/><br/>Anyway, Kass's reflex is 42 (before +1 from nymph's kiss and-or the net +8 when BD replaces the insight +5 with +13). Oh, generally speaking, if something is a spell or spell-like ability, I'll either say so or it will be obvious from the fact that I'm giving it a name that's a spell like ""casts Acid Storm, DC X"".

When the dragon appeared, Kass DDed with Aria and three of the HDs - shouldn't that have been impossible? <br/><br/>2. The HDs were killed (see 3) by the area effect (I didn't mention it either way in my last post b/c the teleport made it irrelevant, and I didn't want to bother going back and forth with you over how Kass couldn't somehow prevent it form hitting any of them). As such their bodies are objects and not creatures, so the DShackles have no effect. Hmm, I guess that means we lost our DShackles too (the dragon inadvertently stole them).<br/><br/>3. Right, so, people doing the ""well I was really vague earlier so now I can fill in the details in whichever way is <em>ex post facto</em> most convenient"" thing: No. I'm sure I don't need to explain why that's a bad idea. A. verisimilitude: the in-character events exist in a Schrodinger's superposition state (I've had players do really ridiculous stuff - like in the middle of a town, the druid PC's player informs me for the very first time that her PC has a Tiger animal companion, never yet put on her char sheet, that's been alongside her the entire time. A few posts later, someone said 'oh, and I have a horse here with me'). B. incentives: it encourages being vague and punishes actually being clever or detailed, b/c then all you are doing is limiting yourself later. C: the DM and other players may be unable to do certain things since they don't know what's going on (for example, if the carried payload was further back than her 30' blindsight range, maybe the dragon would've tried something? who knows?)<br/><br/>The most natural and obvious way to drag stuff is to have it closely behind yourself, like maybe in the next 5' square if it's another creature. (Ifwhen things like this are important to you, and you're worried about me making unfavorable assumptions, the solution is simple - give more specifics. For example, when Volera or other sidekicks NPCs are around, you might consider giving their distance relative to Kass) Also, the further back it is, the less plausible it is that she could've successfully hauled it along, even underwater. Try pulling an unconscious person through the water sometime - I pulled a drunk-almost-passed-out person once, and it was very difficult, and I could touch the bottom of the pool. Now try five people. While dodging and fighting. <br/><br/>*In your previous post you stated that Kass was taking all five, that wasn't something I just inferred (as your last post seems to suggest).<br/><br/>Also, if we'd been attacked from the rear and, say, some area affect had snagged only the back end of the dragon (and I'd said it didn't reach the HDs since they were too far forward...would you still be telling me that obviously Kass would've been pulling the HDs with a lot of intervening rope, and that the area effect should've snagged them?<br/><br/>4. If a magic item (like DShackles) works on one creature, you can't simultaneously have it work on multiple creatures just by physical manipulation, just like how you can't each wear one piece of a set of magic boots/gloves/bracers, or slice a belt longways into 10 really thin belts and all benefit from it, resmelt a necklace into a dozen rings, etc. The magic can only apply to one creature at once. That's not directly relevant here, for the above reasons (and it's perfectly plausible in-character that Kass might've tried such a thing), but it's worth noting.<br/></div></div>"

five sisters of battle, and reforged with archeotech acoustic devices that provide a voice like an angel to the wearer of the armor.  The Cantata of Ressurection can accept no helmet, but compensates with an almost preturnatural grace and skill at arms.  The armor was worn for many years by the commander of an Exorcist tank, before being retired after her promotion to a minor saint of the holy orders.  The armor is a minor holy relic, and should be treated with respect. <br/><br/><strong>Weapons:</strong><br/>Power Sword  Damage 1d10+7 Energy, Penetration 5, Can destroy non powered weapons,

169<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>  To take the shape of a man and twist it to thine own ends: such is the nature and compulsion of the techpriest, that most holy and disfigured of the Omnissiah's countless blessed children.  The rugged Death Worlder that Thraxius once was is nothing more than a pale shadow etched into the old scars from a time when more blood than oil pumped through his veins, a chronicle of hardship and horror wrought in flesh.  Deep gray skin, once a deep brown seared under the rays of an unforgiving sun, is stretched taut like tanned hides over implants and mechanical simulacrums of limbs, and his jaw callously stripped away to make room for the garish device that now serves as his new face, a perfect metal sphere and a cold red lens, so that he may never again know the simple pleasure found in a smile.<br/><br/>His left arm is notably bulkier than his right, and appears to be of comparatively shoddy construction beside his many other modifications.  The techpriest has a tendency to hold it out of the way or otherwise wrap it in litany-inscribed bandages to avoid unwanted scrutiny.<br/><br/><strong>Updated:</strong><br/><br/><em>The man's hulking figure had been bound in row after gleaming row of ceramite and blackened iron, a sturdy shell forged from hundreds of precise hexagonal plates locked tightly against one another in bewildering tessellations.  Each one had been delicately inscribed with prayers and liturgies in pristine binary code, the millions of ones and zeroes compiling a beautiful scripture that spoke of purity, resolve, and iron-clad faith.  His unwieldy left arm had been cleverly disguised in this way, and he now held it proudly alongside the other without fear of scrutiny.<br/><br/>It was this impressive visage that he viewed with his six new eyes, each one secure in its holding and capable of the same full range of movement as the one locked firmly beneath his jaw.  Two larger orbs bulged from the space beside each cheekbone, with four smaller ones above and below them.  They swiveled, chameleon-like, around the room and transmitted all visual data to his memorance unit for immediate recording and organization.  Several telescoped outwards to view some small detail, while others flashed a sickly green that banished the shadows from his sight.  His freshly laundered crimson robes billowed out behind him with Techna-Lingua inscriptions laid into the fabric with yellow thread.  They were like vast silken wings, and combined with his augmented gaze and newly installed carapace it gave the man the appearance of a massive, unsightly metal insect.</em><br/><br/><strong>Second Update</strong><br/><br/>In all his years of life, Thraxius had never felt anything so magnificent as this.  He wasn't sure if it was luck or the Emperor's will that had allowed him to acquire such a sacred gift, this blessed armor of the Adeptus Mechanicus whose mighty shielding now encased him in its all-encompassing embrace.  It was powered armor, yes, but it was so much <em>more</em> than that.  There was no external battery, no limited charge.  Its power core was fueled by the holy warmth of his potentia coil, and he could <em>feel</em> the crackling tendrils of his spirit coursing through the circuitry of the divine shell.  It was a second skin, an extension of his very being, and as much a part of his body as his arms and legs and heart.  <br/><br/>No expense had been spared in its construction and adaptation to his mantle.  Its ceramite components held more luster than all the silver in the Imperium, and every seam throbbed with an dull blue glow.  The tattered remnants of his human face had been covered by a sleek helmet that tapered like a pronged blade at each end, a bright red visor inset into the surface.  His six extra eyes had been reinstalled into the cheek and jawline of the mask, a swiveling ocular collar.  Upon its back, hooked directly into his spinal column, was a heavily armored model of generator designed to distribute energy evenly, a sort of external heart, with plenty of room for modular components to be installed--his utility mechadendrite had already been inserted into one of the top right nodes, bobbing spiritedly to and fro.<br/><br/>Even Thraxius' robes had been re-tailored to better suit his new design, draping from unseen crevices and flowing in crimson waves to the floor.  Divine scripture had been sewn into the fabric, professing the great Mysteries on his left side and warning of the Admonitions on his right.  <br/><br/>Reborn anew, and ready to plant his massive boot in some heretical asses.<br/><br/><div

Alliances, betrayal and brutal violence all taking place in just days, or sometimes even hours accompanied the hedonistic lifestyle of the wealthy nobles and over the course of a good many years Cortez grew complacent. While physically not the strongest person around, he was intelligent and charming, with good grasp of business his position was secure and he so no reason to make any changes. <br/><br/>As time went on and he grew jaded to the world of the wealthy, and began serving on one of the dynasties ships. Given his position as a favored son he was brought aboard the newest ship, and only frigate, a Falchion-Class which was the pride of the house. New and well equipped it was to be the ship that brought the dynasty to new heights of power, and for a few decades that was true. Shortly after the twenty-second year Cortez was aboard the ship the Geller Field failed for unknown reasons, and daemons ravaged the ship. Even with immediate action to end the warp travel, by the time the ship did manage to leave and rejoin real space the ship was wrecked, most of the crew dead and of those who did survive most were insane. Cortez himself was heavily injured, with much of his ribcage shattered along with one arm. Cortez recovered though, his bones mended and reinforced with a lattice of plasteel and his body armored with thin, finely crafted plates of plasteel just under the skin. <br/><br/>Now Cortez is in command of himself, and whatever assets he can bring under his command. Cortez almost constantly wears a full set of extremely high quality storm trooper carapace armor, though the helm is usually left hanging off his back within easy reach. Over the carapace armor are fine silk sashes are wrapped around his waist and neck, over which a cloak made of xenos hides is draped. A single plasma pistol hangs from his waist sash on the left, and on the right a power sword, though he also carries a concealed inferno pistol. Under the armor the manifestation of his paranoia becomes apparent, as do two of his most prized possessions. An Eldar holo-suit which in battle projects dizzying illusions around Cortez and on his chest what appears to be a large gem implanted in his chest, it is actually a conversion field like that of the Space Marine chaplains, anchored to his subdermal armor and reinforced skeleton. Under all this, Cortez is a man of medium height, just short of six-foot, with shoulder length black hair and blue eyes, with few if any morals and a wealth of ambition.</div></div>"

Eldar pirate fleet that made the sector nearly unlivable.  Somehow, Aquairre located the secret anchorage of the fleet and assaulted their base with the full might of the Imperial Navy, boarding the Eldar flagship and personally killing their leader in single combat.  After the lore was won, Aquairre took the spine of the Eldar flagship as a trophy, and used it to construct an Orion Class Star Clipper.  The eponymous ship is one of the fastest human vessels in the galaxy, capable of traveling through both the warp and the void with frightening speed.  The ship was used by the Aquierre dynasty for over a millennium as a fast courier, carrying messengers to deliver secure messages that couldn't be trusted to astropaths, and running blockades during wars.  A few decades ago, the ailing patriarch of the Aquairre dynasty, Zoren Aquairre, became frustrated with the low risk missions that the war trophy and crown jewel of the family had been reduced to, and bestowed it as a gift upon a newly minted rogue trader, hoping that the namesake of the dynasty would live up to its legacy...  At least, that's the story.  More than a couple of reliable sources indicate that the inquisition had issue to take with the ship's massive amounts of xenotech.<br/><br/>Description: The hull of the Kobras Aquairre has the sleek lines of an Orion class clipper, but with a frighteningly pristine hull, and embellished with a massive set of gravity sails.  The ship's lines are considerably more organic and rounded than most Imperial ships, but seem to come to spikes and points more often than would be expected.  The ship's hull is stark white, striped with the bright green heraldry of the Aquairre dynasty.  Instead of the typical broadside of guns on an Imperial ship, the Kobras Aquairre has Eldar-style laser blisters studded all over the hull, focusing a barrage of pulsed laser fire to overcome enemy ships.  The prow of the ship is studded with holes that resemble torpedo tubes, but the ship is too small to mount proper torpedoes, and incorporates a short range missile battery instead to fulfill the same tactical function.<br/><br/>Starship Components:<br/><br/>Modified Lathe Pattern 2a Drive: The central drive of the Kobras Aquairre is a piece of technology that the tech priests who maintain it refuse to explain.  All that is known is that its power output is about twice what it should be for a reactor of its size, and the majority of that energy gets shunted to its engines.  The plasma drive itself it surrounded by extremely thick bulkheads, and a maze of passageways, many of which are dark passages taken directly from the ship's previous incarnation.  Generates 40 power, 10 space<br/><br/><strong>Miloslav G-666.c Warp Drive:</strong>The warp drive of the ship is of a model so fast and dangerous it is now considered heretical.  The ship can move between systems at insane speeds, but stirs up the warp as it goes, making warp incursions considerably more dangerous.  8 power, 10 space<br/><br/><strong>Warpsbane Hull:</strong>Thanks to the unreliability of the warp drive, the Gellar Field of the Kobras Aquairre has multiple ranks of backup generators, and the entire hull of the ship has been sealed against demonic incursion.  2 power, +3 morale<br/><br/><strong>Repulsor Shield:</strong>The void shields of the Kobras Aquairre are constantly active and actively push against small particles, enabling the ship to effortlessly glide through nebulas and asteroid fields with no reduction in speed. 6 power,  1 space<br/><br/><strong>Explorator Bridge:</strong>The bridge of the ship sits atop a massive cross shaped structure at the back of the ship which looks almost anachronistic.  The bridge tower is studded with dozens of antennae and complex sensor arrays, while the tower itself is flanked by a half dozen laser turrets in a circular pattern, intended to prevent enemy fire from getting through.  Inside, the bridge is covered in display screens and navigation consoles, designed to quickly and rapidly map out whatever the ship happens to be orbiting and analyze tactical options.  power 4, space 1  +10 detection, +50 to exploration goals<br/><br/><strong>Vitae Pattern Life Sustainer:</strong>The life sustainer of the Kobras Aquairre is built right into the spine of the ship, and many of the ratings who maintain the system report increased stress thanks to the hideous alien murals carved into the walls of the chambers.  Invariably, they depict nubile young women being raped in increasingly imaginative ways.   One wall of the central life support control chamber is the name plate of the Eldar ship Altar of Torment.  4 power, 2 space<br/><br/><strong>Voidsmen Quarters: </strong>The crew quarters of the ship are very well appointed compared to most imperial ships, with each four crew members getting their own bunk.  Petty officers have private rooms, while senior officers (the PCs) have grand suites the size of ordinary houses, often spanning multiple decks.  1 power, 3 space<br/><br/><strong>Deep Void Auger Array:</strong>The Auger antennas of the Kobras Aquairre's bridge are supplemented by a vast collection of antennae and augur dishes running down the length of the ship's decks, enabling the ship to detect opponents from extreme range.  5 power  +10 detection<br/><br/><br/><strong>Main Cargo Hold:</strong>The ship's main cargo hold is somewhat cramped by Imperial standards, but still capable of carrying about 10,000 passengers or thousands of tons of inanimate cargo.  If the PCs wish, the cargo hold may be converted into a hangar deck for attack fighters, turning the ship into a carrier vessel.  2 power  +125 points to trade objectives<br/><br/><strong>Gravity Sails:</strong>The gravity sails of the Kobras Aquairre stick out hundreds of meters from the ship, and harness celestial energies to enable the ship to move even faster.  The ship has suffered about 6 incidents of friendly fire thanks to being mistakenly identified as an Eldar vessel over the years.   3 power  +1 speed, +5 maneuverability<br/><br/><strong>Auxiliary Plasma Banks:</strong>Despite the incredible power output of the ship's plasma reactor, it requires several additional small plasma reactors located just underneath the spine of the ship in the center of the vessel.  The plasma reactors help power the field bracing and the powerful weapons systems of the ship.  generates 8 power, space 4   volatile<br/><br/><strong>Field Bracing:</strong>Because of the ship's small size, it cannot mount the heavy armor usually used to keep a ship functioning in combat.  To compensate,  the ship has a network of internal force fields that help prevent crew members from being sucked into space during normal operations.  Unfortunately, in combat, the fields are too busy keeping the ship from falling apart to reduce the effects of depressurization.  power 4, space 1  +8 hull integrity<br/><br/><strong>Xenos Habitat:</strong>Towards the aft of the ship, a section of the original Eldar crew quarters have been perfectly preserved, including the bridge of the Altar of Torment which is now a conference room with a xeno garden.  Inexplicably, these quarters include massive amounts of exotic alien sex toys and pornography, which have led to serious problems for crew morale over the years, but Eldar seem to be comfortable in them.  space 1 power 1  -1 morale, +10 interactions with xenos, +50 to xeno objectives<br/><br/><strong>Luxury Passenger Quarters:</strong>Forward of the Eldar quarters, and just below the bridge are several decks of absolutely fantastically luxurious quarters, complete with multi deck promenades, zero gravity energy beds, and an integrated monorail system.  Many of the deck officers make their quarters in the theme park like luxury quarters, having little contact with the regular crew as they simply ride the monorail to the bridge to be with the other officers. space 1, power 1, -3 morale, +100 to trade and criminal objectives<br/><br/><strong>Observation Deck:</strong>The very front of the ship is a large, open chamber with spectacular views into the void on three walls.  A number of specialized sensor arrays in the room provide even more exotic views, and sources of vital intelligence.  Depending on the captain, the observation deck has usually been either a bar and nightclub, a military ready room, a restaurant, and in one memorable occasion, a single ludicrously gigantic bedroom for the captain to have epic orgies in.  space 1, +1 morale, +50 to exploration objectives<br/><br/><strong>Dorsal Starcannon Laser Battery:</strong>The compact laser blisters of the ship make life for the gun crews much more pleasant than on most Imperial ships, though the strange xenotech often makes them hard to repair when the ship gets damaged.  Unlike most ships, the Kobras Aquairre doesn't have any standard defensive turrets, but simply uses its starcannons to shoot down incoming threats.  Space 3, Power 4<br/><br/><strong>Prow Jovian Missile Battery:</strong>Studded around the observation deck is the missile battery, a fairly unpleasant section of the ship which tries to use sheer volume of missiles to make up for the fact that they're only 3 meter long medium range rockets instead of 60 meter long torpedoes of doom.  The armor of the missile tubes is all concentrated behind the missile launcher to protect the observation deck, which the shipwright who built the ship valued much more than the missile tubes.  Working in the missile tubes is considered the worst assignment on the Kobras Aquairre, and the button on the bridge to vent the missile battery to space shows signs of heavy wear.  Space 1, power 3<br/><br/>Modifier Summary:<br/>Navigation Tests to pilot the ship through the warp gain a +15 bonus.<br/>Halve

Gun-Cutter)<br/>Astropaths: 1<br/>Navigators: 0<br/><br/>Background: About 400 years ago, there was an Ultramarine named Alexander Raizenkov.  He was a pretty good Devastator Marine, but he was crushed into the dirt by an Ork stompa after his lines were compromised.  His remains were sent back to his family, and they commisioned a starship built to honor his memory.  A mere few decades later, the Reliquary of Alexander was the result; a light warship disguised as a simple transport vessel.  The ship served the Ultramarines faithfully, but ultimately, they simply found it too morbid.  The ship was unceremoniously dumped on the open market.  It was briefly owned by a chartist captain who tried to use it as an escort ship before he went bankrupt, enabling the crew of the<em>Kobras Aquairre</em>to acquire the ship for an incredibly low price.  How exactly the ship got into the Calaxis sector in the first place, however, remains a mystery.<br/><br/>Description: The<em>Reliquary of Alexander</em>is a sleek scout sloop, laid out like other navy ships, but on a smaller scale, almost like a model starship.  The entire ship is painted a bright shade of blue, and bears the heraldry of the Ultramarines.  Its gun decks are a silver contrast against the blue and white of the ship, ready to unleash hell at a whim.  When in flight, the ship's engines make a notable roar and leave a massive thruster trail.<br/><br/><br/>Starship Components:<br/><br/><strong>Mezoa Pattern Theta-7 Drive:</strong>The engine of the Reliquary of Alexander is a deliberately unstable plasma drive which gives it incredible speed and maneuverability, at the cost of being able to do more or less anything else.  The ship's engines are fragile and easily crippled, causing the component to automatically catch on fire when it suffers ""thrusters damaged"" or ""engines crippled"" criticals.  Power Generated 44  Space 12<br/><br/><strong>Strelov I Warp Engine:</strong>The warp engines of the ship are filled to the brim with servitors, who seem to be at the root of why nobody on the ship will ever explain how it got on this side of the galaxy.  Inspections of the ship often lead to completely deserted plasma chamber decks and teeming warp engines.  The precarious nature of the engines suggests a reason, but the truth could easily be something darker...  Power 10 Space 9<br/><br/><strong>Belcane Pattern 90 Gellar Field:</strong>The gellar fields of the Reliquary of Alexander are maintained with the normal level of obsessiveness, projecting from a central 90 foot statue of Alexander Raizenkov, still wielding his heavy bolter against the demons of the warp.  Rumor has it that the cremated remains of the Space Marine ""hero"" are in the center of the statue.  It doesn't work quite as well to keep demons out as one might hope.  Power 1 Space 0<br/><br/><strong>Voss ""Glimmer"" Pattern Void Shield Array:</strong>The void shields of the ship were built by the lowest bidder, and it shows.  They're prone to random and catastrophic failure, though at least the horseshoe shaped projectors will still look really cool and shiny while the ship is being ripped to shreds.  power 3 space 1<br/><br/><strong>Combat Bridge:</strong>The Bridge of the Reliquary of Alexander is a spectacularly appointed affair in blue and white, bearing many massive paintings of the Devastator Marine Alexander overcoming the foes of the Imperium.  At the center of the chamber is the very heavy bolter wielded by Alexander himself, suspended in a stasis field and allowed to touch air for only one hour each year, on the anniversary of his death, when it is ritually removed from stasis by the captain and cleaned and reloaded.  The crew considers the gun their lucky charm, and will fight to the death to defend it.  The captain, Servitor Murphe, doesn't feel one way or another about it, but that's perfectly natural, since he's a lobotomized drone.  The crew fanatically follows him without question because he once served in the retinue of an Ultramarine, even though he doesn't actually remember.  (much of anything, really)  The techpriests who maintain him are the ones really running the show, but they take care to make themselves scarce.  power 1  space 1<br/><br/><strong>M-1.r Life sustainer:</strong>The life sustainers of the ship are built by the lowest bidder, just like everything else.  They fill the ship with musty and unpleasant scents.  Much of the rations on the ship are simply recycled biological material, thanks to a lack of storage space.  The crew seems to eat them perfectly willingly if they're colored blue, though.  power 3  space 1<br/><br/><strong>Communal Quarters:</strong>The quarters of the ship are... blue.  That's the only real way to describe them.  Blue beds, blue sheets, blue lights, blue walls, blue floors...  Somehow, the crew seems to get deep pleasure from the color blue.  Some suspect drugs in the food or hypnotic conditioning might be the source.  Crew members do spend inordinate amount of times watching incredibly boring propaganda vids, and they unanimously say that their ""proudest moment"" was during the apocalypse war, when the ship was sent to deliver a 5 man scout marine squad to an outlying planet to see if the enemy was hiding there.  (they weren't)  The quarters of the five scout marines are still revered like temples, and offerings are even regularly brought there.  Very few of the ship's crew have any privacy whatsoever, with most sleeping in vast open bunks that take up entire decks of the ship.  power 3  space 3<br/><br/><strong><br/>M-201.b Auger Array:</strong>The auger antennae of the ship are located just above the bridge, and have very little exciting about them, aside from their size.  One of the chief techpriests makes his lair in an insulated knot of metal among the antennae, living directly in the void to isolate himself from humanity.  Power 4  Space 0<br/><br/><strong>Mars Pattern Macrocannons:</strong>The gun decks of the reliquary of Alexander take up a signifigant portion of its tiny hull, and are filled with patriotic warriors ready to die to defend the ship.  Many of the ship's turrets are heavy bolters and assault cannons that were rejected by the ultramarines, while its macrocannons are proud products of Ultramar.  Not neccisarily fine products, but weapons made with pride nonetheless.  Power 4  Space 2<br/><br/><br/>Modifier Summary:<br/><br/>+10 to repair rolls<br/>+10 to defend against boarding actions.<br/>+10

commissioned ""Captain"" Jason Harlock of the Lunar Class Cruiser, Everest, sat in his well appointed captain's chair at the center of his newly refurbished bridge.  The Bridge of the Everest had taken serious damage in the battle, and the entire command staff had been lost.  Jason himself had been ""fortunate"" enough to be in the brig for ""insubordination"" when he had dared protest the current captain's tactical plans for the space battle.  The brig area had been damaged in the fighting as well, and Jason had made his exit to aid in the effort to fight the fires and save the ship, rallying the crew behind him.<br/><br/>As the highest ranking remaining officer, Jason had been promoted to Captain, although if not for the fact that the Everest was being subordinated into Cortez's command, the cruiser would have gone to a more experienced officer from a ""better"" family, but the newly christened ""Captain"" Harlock was grateful for the opportunity provided.  The Harlock name was not unknown in the fleet, but they were hardly one of the favored ruling houses.  They had been powerful once... long ago, but their background as pirates and rebels did not serve them well in the political circles of the Imperium, and their fortune had waned in the last thousand years.  A recent windfall... an ancient treasure, pirate loot, no doubt, from the Harlocks of years past, had recently been discovered by Jason's father, and the whole family had benefited.  Having become accustomed to scrimping and saving to make ends meet, the money had been well invested and the family was now more than comfortable, suddenly finding themselves much better off than other families with a similar social status.  They were on their way... but ""pirate rich"" and ""merchant rich"" did not equal the status of noble blood... not yet, anyway.<br/><br/>The Harlocks had been sending their eldest child into the imperial navy for almost a thousand years.  Having a relative in the navy was a firm tradition that dated back to when the last of the Harlock pirate raiders traded in their larcenous ways for an Imperial commission.   In the Navy, at least, the Harlock name was well respected, and while there were few Harlocks in positions of REAL power in the navy, Jason had quite a few uncles and older relatives who had made the transition to Captain before him.  He promised himself he would make his family proud.<br/><br/>The transfer into the Rogue Trader's fleet was an unexpected one, but not unwelcome.  Jason could see that there was opportunity for advancement and profit under Cortez's leadership, and the prospect of his own command if he stayed was more than enough incentive.  There was one problem, while Commodore Acquire had generously seen to an almost complete refit of the Everest, the weapons systems, badly damaged in the battle, had not been replaced.  Being Captain of a mighty cruiser with no teeth rankled Jason's pride, and he began the difficult process of changing that.  Pulling strings, using his family contacts, and not a little of his own personal fortune, Jason had begged, bartered, and practically stolen a matched set of weapons from an even older cruiser that had been crippled in another fight, far away.  The guns were not in the best condition, but they were functional.  Better yet, they were built to work together.<br/><br/>Captain Harlock had a visual of the forward lance battery brought up on the main viewscreen so he could, for the hundredth time that week, check the status of the instillation.  The two mighty laser lances... each with barrels that could swallow a shuttle, were fully mounted in their massive turret now, and the techs were finishing up with the first activation test for the turrets mighty servo mechanisms that would enable the gigantic weapons to track and fire upon targets in an almost 270 degree arc of fire.  Jason frowned slightly once again, as he observed the subtle clues that the lances did not quite belong.  They were old... worn.  Compared to the almost new interior of the Everest... most of the replacement parts acquired by the commodore for the refit were new, or the next best thing, and the Laser Lances and batteries Jason had spent so much of his families wealth on stood out by being comparatively poor quality.<br/><br/>The ship's crew had grumbled at first, comparing the new ship's guns to the old ones... that had been in service since the ship had been commissioned.   If the new guns had been new, like most of the other replacement parts... or ancient but still powerful, like the ship herself, they would not have minded, but these guns didn't quite seem to fit... not yet... and they didn't like them.<br/><br/>The newly commisioned Captain had done his best to convince his crew that the new guns would serve them well.  ""One battle... just one, and you'll grow to love them.""  He told any who would listen, and he had used every faculty at his command to calm and hearten his crew.<br/><br/>Command Test 24/65  four extra successes<br/><br/>Mostly he had succeeded.  He knew that a lot of the old hands were still waiting to see how the guns performed in combat before relinquishing their doubts, but they were solid, imperial navy men, and he knew they'd give their best when the time came, regardless.<br/><br/>When the refit had started, a few months ago, Jason had communicated with Rogue Trader Cortez's Seneshal, inquiring as to any special modifications that the Trader might wish to make upon his taking command of the Everest.  Finding out about Cortez's plans to fit a Salvage System and Ship's stores into the ship, Jason researched what facilities would be required and set aside the space and power that would be needed so that, when the components arrived, the Everest would be ready to receive them.  He had been working tirelessly for months now on the refit, and nearly all the pieces were in place.  The majority of what remained was wiring components, and testing everything to make sure it worked correctly.  That was always a major headache on a ship as large as this one, but Jason was confident in his crew's abilities.  They'd get her finished on time.<br/><br/>Captain Harlock considered the view of the Sunhammer Lance Battery once more before pressing a button on his chair's right armrest to record a message.<br/><br/>""Captain Harlock to Rogue Trader Cortez.  You are respectfully invited to an inspection tour of the Lunar Cruiser Everest, followed by a formal dinner.  Please RSVP with a date you and your command staff may be able to

Provides 2 Void Shields.  Fresh from a Forge World, they are untested, but without noticeable flaw.  Power 7 Space 2<br/><br/><strong>Armoured Command Bridge:</strong>This bridge has been modified to give the ship’s master greater control over his vessel.  Enhanced Cogitator Relays: As long as the bridge remains undamaged, all Command Tests made by the captain gain +5 and all Ballistic Skill Tests to fire shipboard weapons gain +5. If this Component ever suffers a Critical Hit, it becomes unpowered on a 1d10 roll of 3 or higher.  The bridges of warships are often reinforced with additional armour plating, to ensure the survival of their occupants.  Reinforced Armour: If this Component takes a Critical Hit or becomes damaged or unpowered, roll 1d10. On a 4 or higher, the component is unharmed.  power 3  space 2<br/><br/><strong>Vitae Pattern Life Sustainer:</strong>The life sustainers of the ship are, as typical on a cruiser, of higher quality then average.  Even months out of spacedock, the ship remains almost pleasant to live on.  power 5  space 3<br/><br/><strong>Voidsmen Quarters:</strong>The crew quarters of the ship are very well appointed compared to most imperial ships, with each four crew members getting their own bunk.  Petty officers have private rooms, while senior officers (the PCs) have grand suites the size of ordinary houses, often spanning multiple decks.  Power 2  Space 4<br/><br/><strong>Mark–201.b Auger Array:</strong>A modified version of the Imperial Navy’s standard sensor array, with boosted wideband gain.  External: This Component does not require hull space.  Although it is external, it can only be destroyed or damaged by a Critical Hit.  Sensitive: Increased power draw provides a +5 bonus to the ship’s Detection.  Power 5  Space 0<br/><br/><strong>Reinforced Prow:</strong>During the battle at Ares, the Everest sustained serious damage to it's 20 meter thick Armoured Adamantine prow.  Wanting to preserve as much of the original ship as possible, it's engineers cut away much of the reinforcing material from inside the hull and used that to repair the outer damage.  What remains looks about the same, but is significantly weaker.  Even so, the Everest is still a thing to be feared in a ramming attack.  In addition, the extra space and thinner front plate allowed a forward mounted Lance Battery to be installed, greatly increasing the ship's long ranged firepower.  Adamantine Plates: This ship gains +2 Armour in its front arc only. This ship also does 1d5 additional damage when ramming.  Power 0, Space 3<br/><br/><strong>Cargo Bay and Lighter Hold:</strong>Warships can be converted to haul cargo, but this can often have an adverse effect on their combat performance. Hidden Spaces: When working toward a Trade or Criminal objective, the players earn an additional 50 Achievement Points toward completing that objective. Unbalanced: Starships are precisely balanced, something this modification effects, meaning they suffer –3 to Manoeuvrability.  Power 1  Space 2<br/><br/><strong>Sunhammer Lance Battery (Prow):</strong>Narrowing the focus aperture on the STC Titanforge allowed the<br/>Lathes to boost range without unduly decreasing its power.  A single Sunhammer lance proved successful enough that they have also been constructed in batteries.  This particular pair of lances is mounted forward in a enormous turret, enabling it to turn to fire either port or starboard in support of a broadside, if necessary.  Power 13, Space 6, Poor quality: -1 damage, -1 crit<br/><br/><strong>2 Sunhammer Lances (Port, Starboard):</strong>The third and fourth of the ship's huge laser lances.  Power 9, Space 4 (x2), Poor quality: -1 damage, -1 crit<br/><br/><strong>2 Sunsear Laser Batteries (Port, Starboard):</strong>These laser batteries are common on Naval frigates, providing a balance between power used and damage inflicted.  Used to soften up enemy ship's void shield so that the lances can break through to finish the job, these tried and true weapons are the backbone of the ship's firepower.  Power 6, Space 4 (x2), Poor quality: -1 damage, -1 strength<br/><br/><strong>Best Quality Crew Improvements:</strong>After their shakedown cruise, the crew of the newly refitted Everest were treated to an expensive but effective series of extended training regimens, and were rewarded with brand new uniforms... resulting in much better crew morale and training.  (+3 Morale, +5 Crew Quality)<br/><br/>Modifier Summary:<br/><br/>Steadfast Ally: All crewmembers gain Good Reputation (Imperial Navy).<br/>His Word Obeyed: Any crew-member who makes Command Tests aboard this ship gains a +10 bonus.<br/>Duty Unto Death: When this ship is crippled, the ship’s Captain may make a Challenging (+0) Command Test. If the Test is successful, the ship does not suffer the effects of being crippled during its subsequent turn.<br/>+50 points to Trade or Criminal Objectives<br/>+15 to Command Tests<br/>+5 to Ballistic Tests to fire shipboard weapons<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/><br/>Sunhammer Lance Battery (Prow): Strength 2, Damage 1d10+2, Crit Rating 4, Range 9<br/>2 Sunhammer Lance's (Port, Starbord): Strength 1, Damage 1d10+2, Crit Rating 4, Range 9<br/>2 Sunsear Laser Batteries (Port, Starboard): Strength 5, Damage 1d10+2, Crit Rating 5, Range 9"

His early years there were peaceful, which was saying a a lot since the boy would grow to know a life of chaos. When he was only 10 years old a band of mercenaries looking for quick cash swarmed their village, taking him and many of the others as slaves. Seen as a good specimen for the already great strength he showed for a boy his age, he was sold to a Galtean mining plantation. There they put the boy to work with three other slaves pushing a large crank that pumped a special fluid used in alchemy from the ground. By the time he was thirteen the other three slaves had died, and he was able to push the crank by himself.<br/><br/>Kreios was one of the strongest slaves in the camp, and he often found himself needing to fight the others in order to get certain things like food or clothing. Through it all though, the cruelty he watched only instilled within him a hate for ordered law and a want to keep things such as this from happening. This tempered, and he quickly grew harder and harder for the guards to control. At age 15 he kept under chain most of the time. Though he kept aiding others when he could, insisting that they would need to band together in the face of the treachery they faced. By the time he was nearing age seventeen he had earned the trust of many of the slaves, and was seen by the Galtean guards as a growing problem.<br/><br/>Things changed Shortly after Kreios turned 17 though, when he witnessed one of the guards trying to rape a paid servant. He tried to stop the man, but when the guard drew his sword on Kreios, the boy snapped. He went into a blind fury, somehow wresting the blade from the man's grip, and impaling the guard with his own sword. He quickly took the blade after that, and cut the chains that held him to his working place. He escaped from the slave camp then, killing several more guards and freeing as many of the other slaves as he could. From there he took off, seeking to find solace elsewhere in the land.<br/><br/>Unfortunately Kreios found he was an outlaw in the country now, and no matter where he ran in the empire the Guards tended to find him. After two years straight of making his way by the sword, and getting hunted for both his crimes and the lack of a mercenaries charter; he finally left. He traveled eastwards, toward the coast where he was sure his crimes wouldn't follow him. There he started on the path of adventure, hating the slur barbarian that was tagged upon him do to his ferocious fighting style. Eventually he met with a group of others, and has since traveled alongside them. Though something deep inside him burns for a chance at revenge against Galtea. For what they did him; and more importantly what they do to their people on a daily basis."

For much of her growing years she fought for her food, stole what she could from vendors, steal from the rich and with the other kids around her she learned the best houses that held the best food and coin to spend. She and several of the other nameless children who'd grown on the streets would spend their days following these rich around, stealing from their pockets, begging for money. That is, until she was caught.<br/><br/>She'd been waving through crowds slipping in and out of their pockets, her own growing heavy as theirs grew lighter. They were all entranced by the performance before them, never knowing the entire thing was a set up. The music that filled the air, and the soft gasps from the crowd was enough that Celest believed the crowd would never notice. Never once did they think their gasps were one of shock as the girl before them tripped. It was cold, to this day she remembers it was cold, and windy, and her hand was still in the pocket of a nobleman's jacket, her fingers wrapped around his coin pouch when he grabbed her wrist.<br/><br/>The struggle began there, with the crowd giving the two room to wrestle, him trying to subdue her, and she, fighting to get away. Suddenly the man released his grip, and stared down at Celestia in shock, no, in pain. As he slumped over, gasping out she noticed the dagger sticking from his spine and her name echoed in the air, not her true name, but her street name. Tearing her eyes from the man she noticed the fear in her friends eyes and began to ran. Quickly her friend had caught up, and they ran side by side, hand in hand through the streets as people screamed and guards chased.<br/><br/>Sincerely scared, she didn't stop running, even as her friends grip slipped from hers and the promise of meeting at their little cubby of a home was shouted into the air. It was minutes, or perhaps hours later that Celestia thought it safe enough to slip ""home"" but when she got there, no one was inside. The dark, dank cubby in the city wall was empty, so she waited, and waited. For two days she waited, not leaving the safety of her shelter until word came from one of the other beggars. Her friend was gone, taken from the city to serve the family of the one she'd killed.<br/><br/>Blaming herself, Celestia set out, determined to make amends on her friend behalf by working with the church, doing odd jobs where her ""skills"" were needed. All the while keeping an ear to the ground, listening for anything that would tell of where she might find her friend. Honing her skills, waiting for the day she can at least repay her and her debt.<br/><br/>((Lemme know if I need to edit anything.))"

Her hair is golden blonde, her eyes are the shade of roasted hazelnut, and her lips are like fine coral, often raised in a small smirk. She wears a long robe hiding her form for most part, but this is mainly what she feels comfortable in. Fashioned to appear more like a simple dress, she might not seem like anything but a travelling scribe if not for a few details that stand out.<br/><br/>Her eyes have a fierce, intelligent look about them. There's an aura of magic about her, a sustained magical essence waiting to be brought forth. There's a pair of rings in her hands, and a necklace usually slipped around her neck but its end resting at the start of her cleavage, hidden away under the cloth but visible to a careful observer. High on her brow a small headband tries to vanish beneath her hair, sharpening her mind a little more making her a touch more dangerous foe to face.<br/><br/>Faedra adopted a nickname 'Crimson Wizard' in the past for enjoying little spells, prestidigitation to amuse children and common folk for a bit now and then, and try and ease them to feel comfortable around magic. She is a kind person at heart, but she is also able to harden herself to the point that a 'necessary evil' does not stand as something too cruel to do, if it can save lives.<br/><br/>She is refined and courteous, when she wants to be, but she's no diplomat and she is certainly not a very adept liar either. She is a little more of a recluse at times, studying magic with the interest of someone who is truely<em>enchanted</em>by it. One of the best ways to win her favor is to present her with scrolls of spells she does not yet know by heart, for her to study and include to her growing collection of spellbooks.<br/><br/><strong>History: </strong><br/>Faedra was born to a pair of wizards, and received training in magic from an early age. She was often found admiring her mother's jewelry, and particularily how it was made. She took up learning to fashion little things, craft them with her spare time and little allowance, surprising her parents early on with the creation of little magical 'toys' that lasted a little while only, but it still showed she had the gift.<br/><br/>She was giving training on how to create jewelry, how to make accurate sculptures, and how to craft weapons and armor, should the need ever arise. Her parents took up educating her about magic, and about enchanting things by giving items some magic that lingered, and how to bind that magic within the object.<br/><br/>Though she had enjoyed a safe, happy life so far, she felt the road was calling because there was a limit how much she could learn at home. Little adventures gathered her a bit of coin and she was always happy to share theory with other mages that she came across, often trying to trade knowledge of particularily interesting spells. Little by little, it became more than a hobby, and more of a pursuit.<br/><br/>She began to take some more risks to acquire rare spells, but as the risks increased, so did the too-close-encounters with serious injury or even death. That thought in mind, she sought for people that she could trust to protect her back, and who she would be willing to protect and aid in return. With her study of crafting magic items, she hoped to be able to convince people of her usefulness, at least eventually when her power was strong enough, and to have a way to acquire those spells still eluding her.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Gold Spent &amp; Where</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Starting Gold: 21,000 gp<br/>:::: Magic Gear ::::<br/>-4,000 gp, Headband of Vast Intelligence +2 (Skill: Knowledge (Nobility))<br/>-2,500 gp, Bag of Holding (Type 1)<br/>-2,500 gp, Ring of Sustenance<br/>-2,000 gp, Amulet of Natural Armor +1<br/>-2,000 gp, Ring of Protection +1<br/><br/>Remaining Gold: 8,000 gp<br/><br/>:::: Mundane Gear ::::<br/>-400 gp, Masterwork Composite Longbow<br/>-302 gp, Masterwork Dagger<br/>-45 gp, Wizard's Spellbook x3<br/>-4 gp, Arrows x4 (80 arrows)<br/>-3 gp, Pouch, Belt x3<br/>-2 gp, Backpack<br/>-5 sp, Blanket, Winter<br/>-1 sp, Bedroll<br/><br/>Remaining Gold: 7,243 gp 4 sp<br/><br/>:::: Spell Studies ::::<br/>Level 0: Know all spells already.<br/>Level 1: Know 9 spells naturally, bought 30, at 15 gp each, total payment: 450 gp<br/>Level 2: Know 4 spells naturally, bought 47, at 60 gp each, total payment: 2,820 gp<br/>Level 3: Know 2 spells naturally, bought 25, at 135 gp each, total payment: 3,375 gp<br/><br/>Remaining Gold: 598 gp 4 sp</div></div><br/><hr/><hr/><hr/><br/>Faedra's Arcane Bond:<br/><br/><strong>Sir Percival Whitepaw</strong>,<em>The King of Cats</em>(or so he claims)<br/>Cat<br/>N, Tiny Animal<br/>Init: +2, Senses: Lowlight Vision, Scent, Perception +5<br/><br/><strong>Defence</strong><br/>AC 17, touch 14, flat-footed 15 (+2 Dex, +2 size, +3 natural armor)<br/>HP: 15 (Half Master's HP, HD equals Master Level)<br/>Fort +1, Ref +4, Will +5<br/><br/><strong>Offence</strong><br/>Speed 30 ft.<br/>Melee 2 claws +6 (1d2–4), bite +6 (1d3–4)<br/>Space 2-1/2 ft.; Reach 0 ft.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities</strong><br/>Str 3, Dex 15, Con 8, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 7<br/>Base Atk +2; CMB +2; CMD 8 (12 vs. trip)<br/>Feats: Weapon Finesse, Alertness (When within Master's Reach),<br/>Skills: Climb +6, Perception +5, Stealth +14;<br/>Racial Modifiers: +4 Climb, +4 Stealth<br/><br/><strong>Familiar Abilities</strong><br/>Improved Evasion, Share Spells, Empathic Link, Deliver Touch Spells, Speak with Master<br/><br/><strong>Quote: </strong><br/><em>""Sir Percival Whitepaw, you peasant, I'm high nobility among the cats, more intelligent than your average meow, so you should respect your superiors and respect me with a big dish of milk actually.

No matter what society they are born into, they are met with envy or disgust... sometimes at the hands of their own parents.Such was the case with kyras, a human mother and an elven father.. he was lucky enough to never meet the man that brought about his birth; or at least that is what he always told himself.His mother was at best negligent of him, there were many times he was forced to steal to feed himself as a child. It was no wonder that as he grew up he was drawn to the bad crowd, it felt as if he finally had a family with them.A simple group of cat purses and other ne'er-do-wells. As a group they would steal and play pranks on traveler and townsfolk alike. But one day they bit off more then they could chew.<br/><br/>the day his life changed is when an Elven Paladin of the Dawnflower was traveling back through the town on his way back from a missionary quest to spread the word of the Healing light. the small group of boys that fancied themselves a thieves guild bit off more then they could chew when they tried to steal from him. in the short lived chaos that followed the paladin was only able to get his hands on Kyras(him being the smallest at the time). Kyras screamed for help from those he thought of as family, but none of them answered his calls. He felt betrayed and heart broken. When questioned about where his parents were Kyras's only response was ""I don't have any"" a statement while not factually true certainly felt like it at times. After a brief moment of pause the man made his decision, he brought the boy along with him... no one ever came to find him, after all his own mother did not even care for him.<br/><br/>So it was the kyras's new home was a simple Church of the Everlight along a rarely traveled road a few miles away from a town that never cared about him. The first few month's he tried to make the priests and clerics life as hard as he could, doing his best to get them mad so they would kick him out. try as he might they would only scold him and set to fixing his acts (or make him do it as part of his punishment.). He was baffled by this response, he had never been treated like this.. not even by his own mother. Slowly but surely he came to understand the compassion of the church folk. He felt protected, he was well fed, and he felt loved for the first time.<br/><br/>As the years flew by, the trees and forests that surrounded the church bore witness to a wonderful change in the chaotic youth that had come to the church so long ago.the boy had taken to the word of Sarenrae, he read aloud from The Birth of Light and Truth during the service. When the paladin was there the two would talk, he would be trained in the use of weapons.. most importantly the weapon of the Dawnflower.. the scimitar.To kyras, the paladin became like a true father. it was not till he was an adult and the elven paladin came back from a pilgrimage with grave wounds that the clerics could not heal that he found out the truth, the paladin was his true father.

The pace at which he and his companions' were moving was astounding, and he couldn't help but recall a similar situation he had experienced almost three years prior. It was how he had gotten into Ameca from Galtea, and why he now sought out such ruins as the ones he and his companions now explored regularly. He focused his mind away from the past and tried to angle himself to where he would be able to land or dive in a manner that would allow him to escape injury, or so he hoped anyway. The current was strong as it pushed him down faster and faster, and he was certain his companions were at least having as much trouble as he.<strong>""BRACE YOURSELF!!!""</strong>He yelled out above the water level as he his eyes picked up a bright light at the end of the tunnel, and he tried to spot out the weakest of his party to make sure they made it through what ever happened next.<br/><br/>It was no use though, he couldn't see anything but the light ahead of him, and so he reached out and felt his hand grasp what felt like an arm. He jerked it to him even as the sudden rush that sent him flying out of the chute made his stomach churn.<strong>""ARHHH""</strong>He yelled as he felt himself fall from some height into a lake. On the way down he pulled the body he had grabbed hold of in the chute closer to him, and pointed them down for a dive. The water felt almost like it pierced his skin, but as the momentum let up he pushed himself up to the lake's surface to take count of his companions'. He gasped out for air as he surfaced, and looked about the lake.<strong>""Is everyone okay?!""</strong>Demetri said loudly, hoping none of them had been killed from the fall...<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Demetrius Lorain of Galtea: Melee Combatant</strong></div><br/>Demetri was the eldest son of a family known for wizards in Galtea's autocratic aristocracy, and while he didn't have anything against being a wizard he often felt like compared to his father and other members of his family he was incompetent to wield such magic. Instead of going the traditional rout for his family by signing up for the Galtean academy, he instead decided the military was a better fit. This caused a rift between he and his father, but he felt like it was something he'd be good at, and besides, the most notable figures in Galtea's two thousand years had been members of the military. His father ended up disowning him over the matter, and while this was hard for Demetri, it would have been even harder to try and fail at wizardry.<br/><br/>He managed to fly through the more youthful ranks, or that is until he was assigned a post to a pair of aging scholars researching Alterion ruins along Galtea's border. This was his first long term assignment, and he felt it was a useless waste of his abilities. Neither scholar, one an elderly wizard and the other a middle aged Priestess, needed his protection. Both could single handily smote most of the younger military personnel, but it was his assignment and so he trudged on with it. After what felt like an eternity of kicking the dirt in ancient ruins, they came across a particularly nasty trap which erased their minds of spells. It was only then Demetri realized why Galtea has assigned him this mission, but even still he was outclassed by the mixture of traps and monsters that littered the halls of the ruin.<br/><br/>It was when they were getting close to the entrance that he missed the wizards warning of a trap that due to his magics early on they had bypassed, and that was the end of his service to Galtea. He was sent down a chute that led to a river that escorted him to Ameca, it happened so fast he was sure that magic had to have been involved and that he hadn't just traveled several hundred miles in a few moments. At first he was going to head back to Galtea to report what had happened, but he ran into a group of adventurers along the way and hasn't looked back since. He now seeks to know more about the architecture of Alterion ruins, and to hopefully acquire enough wealth to start his own noble house back in Galtea."

He is white-haired fellow, with the white strings divided by the sharp-pointed ears. His dark brown eyes are sharp and observant, his smirk full of mirth and enjoyment of life. He has a finely chiseled nose and a firm jaw, a good head on his shoulders. <br/><br/>His body is naturally limber and strong, and his practice has honed the natural abilities more. He has wide shoulders and strong, a firm chest and strong arms, but it is his agility that has kept his head on his shoulders this far. His stomach is smooth and firm, his legs elegant. His step has the precision and grace of a mountain goat, rarely missing its mark. His skin is smooth, and though naturally fair, it has had a bit of sun now and then, maintaining a light bit of color to it.<br/><br/>Varon is usually seen wearing a simple black outfit, with white detailing in his pants and his jacket. He tends to wear a simple hat on his head when out working, though the hat itself seems to have had to endure a number of rough treatments and near-misses. The young man has still kept good care of it, showing a fondness for that particular piece of outfit. <br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Varon grew up in a small village where food was often scarce. He grew up surrounded by people that were tougher and meaner than he was, so he had to learn to make use of what he had. His natural agility. His limber, flexible body let him escape the bonds he was tied in more than once, and his skill with acrobatics left his pursuers often staring at an obstacle he had crossed at ease taking a bit more distance between himself and them. More than once he slipped to a barrel, behind crates, or dashing into long grass, vanishing from sight before the others could catch up and spot him again, see where he was heading. <br/><br/>He learned the basics of a thief's life quite naturally, but one day his daring escape was spotted by a man visiting the village, and it seemed that the man was impressed by it. Impressed enough to come and find Varon's parents, and offer them a good amount of money and a promise to train the boy into a skilled man. Varon's parents had never even seen that much money at once, and readily agreed.<br/><br/>Following the man Varon soon came to learn a lot more about locks, and specifically, how to unlock them. He was given training about observing people, and how to make himself look more like them, or less like himself, with the help of some interesting props and makeup. Following this came learning to read and write different languages and alphabets, picking up ways to imitate someone's handwriting, and how to make convincing forgeries of wax seals he had seen. He spent time climbing up trees, and walls, sometimes with the help of a grappling hook and a rope, sometimes without. He was tied up and left in a dungeon with only the lockpick laying on the floor before him. Later on, he learned he would have to hide it somewhere on him, just in case. He spent time first learning to untie himself, and then again how to unlock a stubborn lock, and about sneaking past guards. It was a test which he passed, and with that, his mentor greeted him with open arms, welcoming him as an apprentice ready to graduate. <br/><br/>They were skills to be proud about, but the tricks and deception he had learned were not part of any respectable skillset he had heard of before at least. Soon, Varon learned he was right. His teacher was among people who specialized in acquiring information when it was necessary, robbing a particular item of interest, and occasionally although distastefully, quieting a voice that spoke too loudly against their interests. Spies, thieves and assassins. <br/><br/>Varon kept away from assassination, not wanting to taint his hands with the blood of an innocent person, but he was willing to steal things, forge documents and lie about their authenticity to confuse some people long enough for others to strike, and he moved with a certainty that he was doing what he was trained for. The pay was good, and his tools were exquisite. <br/><br/>He hesitated sometimes, and so he came to be introduced to the Goddess Calistria. She was the Goddess of the Trickery, and Vengeance that he lived with each day, but also the Goddess of Lust. Varon's continued success was soon rewarded not only by the good pay and equipment, but also the skillful attention of women that could take all doubts and worries from his mind. <br/><br/>Varon was tamed, for a while, but he still yearned to see the world, and he knew one thing in his mind that refused to quiet down. These women adored the coin, not him. Some might be impressed with skill, but it seemed that in the end, it was always something else than him. It was lust, and while lust was amusing, he craved to learn more as well. <br/><br/>His life had been a series of successful tasks after his escape from the life of running away from bullies, but then one night he broke into the apartment of a Lord that had been rather vocal recently. Sneaking down the hallways, avoiding the guards, he sought to locate the man's greatest treasure. He had been told where to find it by his mentor, who handed him a map, drawn by a bribed former servant of that lord. He knew his task was to find the treasure, and to ruin it. He despised the thought but had taken it, believing whatever it was, a little acid would rob it of its beauty, and if it was something acid would not work well with, he would find another way.<br/><br/>Yet the door that opened revealed a young woman sleeping in her bed. He paused, and hesitated. His mentor had set him up to murder someone, or at the very least rob them of their virtue it seemed. Given their teachings however, to never be seen as their true selves and let the person live, he believed that it was a task of murder. The noble's daughter, he remembered briefly.<br/><br/>He neared the bed, but he did not feel cold-hearted enough to murder someone that was innocent just for the sake of coin. He had stepped close however, and his fortune turned the moment he refused to carry out the vengeance he had been ordered to. The girl's eyes opened, and she screamed.<br/><br/>Varon backed away, grateful he was wearing the black scarf to cover most of his face on the job, but she had seen him up close, and might remember his white hair, not all of it had been hidden perfectly into the cover of his hat. He grimaced, but it was either kill her, or leave. Then things got worse.<br/><br/>Her screaming was followed by throwing things, and one of the things she hit was a nearby, dim oil-lamp that had shone a little light into the room. As it fell when hit by a pillow that Varon had dodged, causing the oil and the hot ember to come in touch. Burst of flames spread n the room, the sounds of guards rushing in sounding out. Varon grimaced, and taking some speed, he leaped through the window nearby. His arms before him and his eyes closed, he trusted in his mithril shirt to help keep him from being cut too bad at least and he hoped that he could make the fall and land safely. He opened his eyes in the air, seeing the ground ahead, and falling feet first, immediately bending his legs and pushing himself to a roll, feeling the ache in his feet but also knowing he had survived the fall. Panting, he turned to leave. <br/><br/>Varon did not waste time getting out of town after that. He heard later, in another town, a song from a bard about a greedy pig of a noble that roasted alive with his daughter and staff in their apartment from a lamp knocked over in the daughter's bedroom. Some tales said her lover had come to visit her, others said a murderer had come and hid his trail by setting the place aflame. <br/><br/>Varon felt guilty for the deaths, he could not change what had happened, but he also knew he would not go back to the town. He had no wish to become a tool for murder, and even if he had killed his target it was by mistake. He wondered who had been left to share the tale about a stranger in the house after he left, but he hoped that the people that trained him would also think he died in the fire. <br/><br/>He set out on his own to make a new life, somewhere else, putting his skills to use for himself. Hoping to one day find himself able to forgive himself, he was not truly good, ready to fight a good fight, but neither was he a cold-hearted killer. He could see himself killing an evil person, but not an innocent, and this left him with a guilt he could not shake.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Writing Prompt</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">""You want me to tell a little bit about myself?"" The elven man cast a curious look at the people before him and smiled. ""Its my favorite topic."" With a laugh he smiled to the group and nod his head in agreement. ""Well, the way I see it, this world is full of dangers and troubles, and you face some of them even if you sit on your ass and grow turnips all your life. They might not be as big troubles and dangers as you find adventuring, but nobody gets it easy in life. I had a choice of what I would do with my life, and I took this path. I am not ashamed to steal when I need to, but I pilfer from the monsters not people, because monsters rarely send guards running after you through towns, and if you kill a monster trying to kill you then you were just defending yourself."" <br/><br/>Shrugging slightly and smiling, he brushed his chin. ""I follow the Goddess Calistria, and find the teachings of <em>the savored sting</em> pretty good sense to me. You have to laugh and jest sometimes, trickery is for that, and if you are laughing at a monster why not do so when pulling off something nasty? Now, the vengeance part is also easy. Don't let someone stomp on your toes and get away with it, if you have a chance, even the score. Doesn't mean I go after every little thing, that wouldn't be worth the effort, but if someone seriously causes me or those I like harm or trouble, I don't mind hunting for them a while and making them quite as miserable or maybe a bit more."" He shrugged a hint, then chuckling. <br/><br/>""The last part, Lust? That can be fun, but it depends really who you are with. I enjoy company of pleasant men, and I enjoy company of pleasant women. I have to admit I enjoy the company of pleasant women even more than that of the pleasant men, its a preferance, afterall. Now, Lust can be just itself, or it can be part of something more, but well I personally find myself admiring a lady now and then. Regardless of race, that is. Human, elf, halfling, gnome, even dwarf."" He smiled. ""There's some races among monsters that don't look too bad either but I think I've only run into men of their species so I cant say for sure.""<br/><br/>Leaning back a little to the nearby wall and raising his fingers to touch his hair, Varon cast a conspirational look at the others present near him at the time. ""If I had enough gold, I'd try and build some nice big home somewhere, return there between adventures to rest and plan for the next things in turn, and spend time with folks I enjoy. Not supposed to say that, bad luck or something, but I imagine as long as I keep my way I'll be fine. So, who's ready to take on that task we spoke about this morning now?""<br/></div></div>"

It was a familiar sight for the young oracle to see, yet one she found some refreshment in. She could still remember the day she was taken by the request of the small group of followers in promise of being given a great life as a prophet of sorts... and oracle for the gods. Her adoptive family had been hesitant at first at allowing the group to take he. She had all but refused to go with them herself as she desired to stay with her adoptive family and stay with her friends. Still, her adoptive family gave in after they convinced them of the good intentions they had for her as the median to connect with their gods. She could still remember the sight of her friend from the carriage she was in as she was taken away into her new life. Since then, she has grown up in the temple where she not only spent her days for worship and to speak with those who worshiped her as an idol, but also lived in that very place. They refused rather adamantly in allowing her to go outside very far, wanting to protect her from the baron world they believed she was not ready to explore. It only was something that made her grow that much more eager to escape from such a place. Her eyes lingered along the outside world from the window each day after her usual meetings with the followers who praised her so highly and yet did not seem to support her desire to see the world.<br/><br/>The sound of footsteps echoed up the stone stairway as a man came up the stairs from behind her. She glanced back towards the rather tall fellow. He wasn't a local who lived in the tiny village just outside the temple, but rather a traveler who journeyed across the world in search of objects and individuals such as herself... though in her own mind she likely figured that those two categories likely had no barrier to him. He wasn't like the other men or woman who saw her in such high regard. He was a bit of a... strange individual so to speak. While he seemed to have the ability to sense items of spiritual heightening, he was far from a spiritual individual himself. It was a work he did of his own accord that others paid him to do. She would doubt his words herself if it hadn't been for the fact she had realized just how right he had been for finding out of her own mysterious gifts. While she usually held a rather charismatic presence behind her in an attempt to hide her normal feelings, she was a lot less caring of restricting her emotions towards him. He had no intentions of treating her as an idol he had made her to be, after all. ""Always such a fine looking young lady, Elisia."" The man's voice escaped his lips, sounding rather shifty in tone. It was difficult to tell just what he was thinking. <strong>It is Lady Elisia to you.""</strong> She spoke out in a rather snobbish tone. Being treated as an idol did rub off a bit on her personality. She was a bit spoiled in some regards and had found a certain comfort in that fact. Despite it, she had found great value in the well being of others. While she demanded respect, she also gave respect those who did the same for her. She truly did find enjoyment at of bringing happiness to others. <br/><br/>""Oh oh... so sorry, your body simply brings me so much job that I can't remember the fact you are a deity of sorts to these people."" He spoke with a rather snarky tone of voice. A smirk was on his lips as he glanced upon the young lady's body. He was so hard to read even for her adapt wit at detecting a persons motives. He seemed to shift so much in both his words and tone and hide away himself as much as possible. If it wasn't for his 'abilities', it was very unlikely he would be taken in so calmly by a spiritual group such as the one who allowed him permission to go and see her personally. She didn't answer at all to his words as she simply turned her head away in distaste. She reached up as grabbed a small white flower resting from her hair as she dropped it nearby, only to have it fly 10 feet away rather then simply dropping to the ground. It was a part of her curse at play, not wanting to simply allow things to fall as they should. She had been told it was the act of spirits that had been denied her life giving powers, all seeking her out for comfort while causing mischief of their own. Her hand gently brushed through her long black hair where the flower had been resting, acting as a primitive comb. <strong>""What reason did you come here for?""</strong> She inquired the man in a tone that was much less harsh. It still couldn't hide the bitterness she seemed to hold towards him.<br/><br/>The man laughed lightly as he looked towards her with a smirk. ""You see... I have managed upon the location of an artifact of sorts... something that had appeared recently from thin air. Its something I can detect and indeed can sense roughly where it might be... out of an act of kindness for the beautiful young woman who had lined my pockets with gold in the past, I felt I had to tell you... since it will indeed involve you leaving this rather... bland... place."" Elisia's head turned back with some curiosity as if questioning with her eyes the point of his words.  It wasn't hard to tell the latter part of his words brought a sudden spark of interest to the girl. She knew he had likely mentioned it just for the sake it would get her full attention. She kept perfectly silent as she awaiting his words to finish. She watched his lips turn as his smirk only grew wider. ""You see, my sweet oracle, the object that has appeared... its exactly as your spirit provides... the same exact resonance of sorts. Perhaps an item just as valuable as you.... and only you, my dear, will stand any chance of finding it. You are the only one who is meant to find it. As you are chosen to have a gift, that very object has the sames desires and will only chose to be with you."" Silence ensued after his words as she processed his words in her mind as she gave deep thought to it. This might be the chance she had sought for to once again see the outside world.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Elisia was born into the world simply as a commoner to two human parents. When she was less then a year old, an unfortunate accident occurred where a fire broke out in their home and engulfed it in flames. Her parents and 3 year old brother were all killed in the flames. Miraculously, the young baby was found in the charred ruins, somehow managing to survive from the cruel death that had taken her family. A half-elf woman took the young baby into her care. She was a friend of the family and sought to repay them back in anyway possible, and raising their young child seemed the best way she could provide that service to the recently deceased family. She grew up in a small village with the woman that was primarily made up of half-elves. She found herself completely adapt to such a place as, despite her racial differences, she felt as if she belonged with them. She made friends with many of the children and came to be friends with a girl she called her best friend. She couldn't of been happier in such a place as she was able to live in peace and be with her adoptive mother and best friend all the time in what seemed like a paradise in her child like mind. Things began to change suddenly for the girl with the appearance of an strange man.<br/><br/>It was a rather ordinary cloudy day while she was playing with her friend Ari (as she called her) when she noticed a strange man dressed in black wearing a black hat staring at her. It had startled her a bit at first to look away, only to look back and see him gone. She returned to her adoptive mother to find the man exiting her home. The smirk on his face remained etched into her mind as he bowed his head a bit before her and left. When she asked her mother, she seemed rather uneasy and avoided the subject and put on a fake smile.  The fourteen year old simply left it at that and simply let that day pass off. It was a few months later when she was about to go and hang out with her best friend that she was suddenly approached by a group of individuals donning a strange black and white robes. They stood speaking to her mother who seemed rather uneasy and shaking her head. Her adoptable half-elf mother gave her a hug and cried as she had told her of the promises of a good life they would give her and help her to understand her role. Not wanting to go, the girl refused at first though she was pulled away against her initial will. She watched her adoptive mother as they pleaded with her to relax and closed the door to the carriage. She could remember the distant look of her friend as her heart sank looking towards her from the dark glass with tears in her eyes as she was pulled away from what she felt like was a perfect life. It was the end of her child hood and the start of her life as an oracle.<br/><br/>The group of individuals who took her revealed themselves to be known as the White Covenant. The group worships in the name of the light and takes worship in the gods of both good and neutral intent. They had sought out an oracle which a particular mercenary found for their sake that happened to be Elisia. She was rather resistant at first to join them. She wanted to simply be back with her family. They made it well known that such an option was unfortunately impossible and attempted to give her praise and worship and attempted to teach her of her divine heritage. It was through their teachings she realized the odd occurrences around her during her life weren't some fluke but rather a sign of her particular curse. She slowly began to give into their urging and learned to use her powers and abilities and became known as Lady Elisia and found respect among the other members as she was treated as an idol. She grew to enjoy her roll in the White Covenant, though her mind still lingered to the outside world that seemed to taunt her. Even with such a rich life, she missed and longed for her best friend and her adoptive mother who she found so much attachment with. <br/><br/>A sudden change of events occurred when the man in black came to visit. The mercenary had shown himself several times which she often only could catch his gaze or a simple witty comment before he would disappear just as quickly as he came. On this visit, however, he had come to specifically talk with her. It was through his words that she learned of a supposed object of divine heritage that apparently came suddenly into existence and seemed to call out for her. It was with his words and urging to the group that managed to get her freed from the confinement of her life in the temple. She was the only one according to the man named as Demetre who could find this object and take it. A promise of the item lost in a world long lost in the past that could bring back the prosperity of the gods with the young woman's help.

His youth was filled with various activities and studies from learning to play the violin and studying, to archery and swordsmanship. His life continued to be relatively easy as his father was even teaching him how to handle money properly and prepare him to take over the family business. That all changed around his 75th birthday when there was supposedly a terrible accident involving a house fire. Val had been out at the time collecting a payment of money from a nearby town when he got the news. His whole family had been caught inside the house during the night in a terrible fire that killed them all.<br/><br/>Upon returning to his home he did some digging and found out that the fire had not been an accident but had been deliberately set by a rival merchant house. When he asked around to find out why no one was doing anything to this house he found out that they had all either been bribed or threatened. Over the next week he sifted through the wreckage and ashes of his life searching for anything he could find. One the last day of searching as he was about to give up he found a hole in the wall that had not been touched by fire. Upon close examination he found a cloth wrapped object inside, and slowly pulled it out. Carefully wrapped up and hidden away presumably by his father, a relic from his days as an adventurer, the young elf found a sword in ornate scabbard with his family crest on it.<br/><br/>He carefully wrapped the sword back up in the cloth and headed back to the inn he was staying at in town. Once he was sure he was secure in his own room he once again removed the cloth and looked upon his fathers sword. He carefully removed the adamantine elven curve blade from it's sheath and looked at the inscription upon the adamantine blade, Vlos olplyn. It appeared to be elvish but almost as if in a sub dialect that he couldn't quite place. Deciding that could wait till later he placed the sword back into it's scabbard before placing it back in the cloth. The following morning he used the last of his money to buy up supplies and head out to grow stronger to one day avenge the dishonor that had been brought upon his family.<br/><br/><strong>Young Adulthood(80-100):</strong>Valenar had spent the next 20 years wandering around doing odd jobs to try and make a living. He had done everything from guard duty to stable hand, and had even spent some time as a librarian. During the five years as a librarian he began to study and play with the arts of magic. He found that he took quite easy to some of the beginner cantrips , and it was during this time that he discovered what was written on his Father's blade. The inscription Vlos olplyn was drow and it's literal translation was blood thief, and this only raised the question of why his father had a sword of apparent drow make. The entire time the young elf was doing these odd jobs he never forgot to things. The first was a person is only as good as their word and we need to stick to not only our words but our moral codes. The second thing was that anyone that tried to betray you or double cross you was fair game.<br/><br/>By his centennial birthday  he had managed to come across a rather gift. I old lady who had been out in the woods collecting things to sell at the market had stumbled across a rather unusual and strange egg. Feeling a rather strange pull towards the egg he asked the old lady how much she wanted for the egg. The old lady not sure how much it was worth told him she want 10g for it. Feeling this wasn't quite right Valenar gave the lady 20 platinum pieces instead, because he knew it had to be worth more and didn't feel right cheating an old lady. Her eyes had about popped out of her head at the sight of that much platinum and he had a feeling her life had just improved.<br/><br/><strong>The Egg:</strong>After he had gotten the egg he carefully place it into his pack and went to do some research. after countless nights of research he finally found out what the egg was, a Pseudodragon. After finishing up research into Pseudodragons he began gathering things to help raise the newborn creature. He hoped that be being present from it's birth the dragon would become his companion in his travels. He was unaware just how much of a trouble maker Sanguine was going to be. From the day the black Pseudodragon with red wing webbing was born the catlike behavior and mischievous little pranks never stopped, and the pranks haven't always been just on Val but also with anyone he has traveled with.<br/><br/><strong>Adulthood (101-134):</strong>After his companion was born and able to travel The two joined up with a mercenary company. Val knew it was a quick way to make decent money and would help him grow stronger. Plus with the news of a war in a nearby land he would be able to travel. Sadly this experience would not only harden the young elf into a somewhat dark veteran but it would also cause his moral code to shift just a bit. Val wound up working his way up from just a lowly soldier through skill hard work and battlefield promotions until he was the one running the company. It had taken 20 years of fighting before the war was finally over, and Val was able to hand the reins over to the others and sink into a bottle. He had seen and done things he would rather forget during those twenty years, so he became a bit of a drunk and a ladies man. It wasn't until Sanguine finally managed to talk some sense into him that he snapped out of the haze and nightmare.<br/><br/>For the next 13 years he began to hire himself out as a sell sword to anyone that would pay his fee. He would take almost any job as long as they didn't break his contract. The first part was that he would not kill women with children nor would he kill innocents. If those he was working with tried he would stop them personally. The second part was if you refused to pay you would have to deal with him and he would offer to work for your enemies for free as long as he got the money you owed him in the end. Third he never changed side in the middle of contract, but once the contract was completed or broken that was another story. He tried not to work against former allies unless they turned out to be rather evil in which case he would sometimes offer to help for a reduced fee just to teach his former employers a lesson, remember what happened to his family.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Val tends to be a bit gruff from time to time reflecting his decades of service as a mercenary. He sometimes has bouts of dark times but Sanguine usually helps snap him out of it along with playing his violin. At first he can be cold to others he works with knowing that contracts come and go and people die, but once he sees peoples skill and travels with them for a bit he begins to open up and joke around having a good ole time. He has a code of honor which he tends to follow to a tee but there have been cases where he has had to bend for his own survival and those of others. In a fight he can be a force of awe with both his sword and the spells he weaves sometimes making it look more like a dance then a fight. At the end of the day when all are gathered around the camp for the night we will offer to be the first on watch. Sometimes Sanguine gets the better of him with his pranks and he can be seen chasing the little dragon all over is a rather playful manner as he would never hurt his faithful companion<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>He is 6'2"" tall with pale white skin that won't seem to tan no matter the time in the sun and red eyes that glow from time to time. He has a athletic build weighting in at about 130lbs of corded well packed muscle. He has medium length unruly black hair that seems to stick out in slightly random directions. He has a scar that runs across his left eye down his cheek which he got while protecting an employer from an assassination attempt. If he was to stand in front of you with nothing but a pair of shorts on you would see numerous scars on his legs and torso with a few on his arms. These scars have come from his decades of fighting in wars and as a mercenary. He also has a small dragon tattoo on his left upper arm done in red ink.<br/><br/><strong>Attire:</strong>He wears a black sleeveless top under his twilight mithral breastplate with long black pants that he keeps tucked into his knee high boots. He wears a long black scarf-like cloak around his neck. He also wears a pair of gloves made of black leather that go half way up his bicep with hidden wrist sheaths. He keeps Vlos olphyn stuck through his belt on his left hip. He has a bandoleer full of various items and daggers strapped across his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip. He has a nice well weathered haversack that he carries on his back as well as a quiver full of arrows and a nice ebony composite longbow slung over his shoulder. Sanguine tends to perch on his shoulders as he travels taking to the air during combat."
