Topic: EXCITED!!!
Subject: EXCITED!!!


Alright, so for a few years I listened to Josh Groban whenever I could. At a bridal show I went to, there was a violinist there, I asked him to play a song for me.

Josh Groban - You Raise Me Up

As he was playing it I was nearly in tears because the song was sooo incredible even without the words. Since I was nearly in tears to the music alone, I decided I would sign up for the Josh Groban fan site. For doing so, I get a calender, a membership card, and also the option of buying presale tickets to his concert.

I was going crazy because the fan site was down and I could not get my presale code. Eventually it came back up and I am going to see Josh Groban live at the ACC in July.

Row 16 seats 17-18

I have awesome seats, so I am going to have an incredible time.

Hey all!

I just wanted to promote another RPG forum, its going to be a Futuristic Fantasy Forum. Its in early stages of development and the friend is looking to start recruiting. He wants it to be member friendly. Looking for ideas for the forum and such. Since we all love a good rp, I figured that my friends here would also check out his site.

(not sure how to properly post link therefore I pray that Eol or Gruggybear or somebody will fix it for me.)

Untainted Promises

There you go guys
He added music for the time being, but he said he would be open to new ideas and such.

CHEERS!!

Try not to break up the paragraphs like that, you are using after more than you need to. Try to think out each detail as it happens. The fact that he is in the canine family, you have to get him to use his other senses more than his eyes. Canines should rely on their noses before their eyes. Their ears tell them a lot as well.

Topic: Safari Zone
Subject: DM POST (sorry for lateness)


Andras polished his blade as everyone went in their own direction after his training. The Half-Elf managed to keep tabs on those who had shown interest, even if he only knew a couple of them personally from having served them in his Inn.

The Chindari Girl and her canine headed out of town, where he assumed she would seek council. A stranger had approached the man lurking in the shadows and they disappeared from view rather rapidly without drawing too much attention to themselves. Freki informed him that he would join the hunt and after nodding to the canine he sheathed his weapons and walked into the barns.

He knew the journey would be a long and treacherous. Andres, having spent his entire life bending and forming to survive in the town of Falhill, and battling the ages of this world against the Chindari Plains, and beyond. Andres knew he would be up against some tough enemies, some he had probably not ever stumbled across in his many years bordering the Plains. As a young half-elf he had been forced to live off nature for two full cycles of the moon before qualifying as a protector of their lands, back when the elves were still a part of Falhill society.

[I]The wind whipped his long hair in front of his face, as he held his sword at the ready, eyes glancing cautiously around him. His elven ears having picked up the sound of brush moving, out of the rhythm of nature. The beast did not know when to move without being detected, he was sure it would be a hostile animal, yet he was a confidant man and therefore harboured no fear. Young Andres moved silently, his centre of gravity always perfectly balanced, his steps timed perfectly. It was said the Half-Elf could walk on top of the snow, not because he was light, but because of his perfect balance.

Slowly moving towards the sound in the brush, he noticed what appeared to be a small hoof kicking and heard a very soft whiney of a foal. The sound was distressing to the young warrior, and he found himself acting without thought. Sheathing his weapon, the half-elf started to soothe the frantic creature, enabling him to help the colt free himself from the brush. Andres glanced around him from time to time to see if any of the hostile beasts were eying the helpless colt as a potential meal. He worked with graced as quickly as his hands would move to free the foal from its trap and get him free to help seek out the rest of his family in hopes of reuniting them.

As soon as the colt was free from the brush it backed away from it and headed off towards the distance where he remembered last seeing his mother. The route was quickly cut off by a large grey and black hyena which was laughing hysterically and always finding a way to block the path of the colt. Nipping and yipping at the young horse until the young horse fled back towards where the human had saved him. Andres withdrew his scimitar and lunged to an area between the foal and the hyena his demeanour cool and collected as he faced a large hyena by himself. The Half-Elf knew he should not interfere because he had a mission to complete for his tribe in order to be accepted into the position of respect that his forefathers had always held at his age. Concentrating on the attacker, he seemed to dance the swords like a majestic dance, swirling, rising, falling low, all without connecting with the beast. The hyena would live, if it was smart enough to see that the warrior would not be intimidated; that he would stand his ground. It did not take long, the hyena high tailed it back to the woodlands laughing all the way despite deciding the meal was not worth risking his life to obtain.

From that moment on, the colt had followed him faithfully of free will, and when Andres had completed his mission, and returned to his father. The young foal always a couple steps behind the warrior, until the man stopped and looked the horse in the eye gently stroking his foretop whispering into his ear to stay, that he would return momentarily. Andres did not expect the horse to obey, and he grabbed the large Wild Boar he had hunted for his group and laid it before them, respectfully. The Beast had already been blessed moments before the blade fell, and thanking it for keeping them fed.

After the celebration in naming him a warrior, he returned outside to find the young colt still standing where he had left him. Quickening his pace the man reached the horse and praised it nodding for it to follow him. Ever since that day several years ago, it was Andres who had forged the horse into a warhorse. Dispelling the fear from the colt, from his younger years and invoking confidence into the beast. [/I]

The Half-Elf approached his companion, a smile spreading across his face as he spoke to his horse Mandred. The horse roamed outside the stable most of the day, and only spent his nights in a stall sleeping a few hours here and there. Andres saddled and geared up the horse for the trek, packing essentials into the saddle bag. A pick for Mandred’s hooves should a stone get in them, a container full of grain for the stallion as a treat once a week until their journey ended, money for the trip in case they stumbled across a town to purchase wares and anything else he could find that would be of use on the trip.

The following morning the town was filled with whispers, theories and thoughts about if, or who would be embarking on the journey to save Falhill. The Council had set up in the middle of town, in the square, all businesses were closed for the morning half of the day so that everyone in the small community could hear by their own ears what was happening. When the open meeting had begun, the Head of Councils had all spoken and a table displayed the sign-up sheet was hungrily awaiting ink.

Andres was the first to step forward when the council had finished speaking, and did not allow even a moment of impatient waiting on behalf of any present that day. Confident that he would be able to overcome all of the trials that awaited him, he stepped up to the table, ignoring all the eyes he knew would be on him. Signing his name, he also signed for Freki to join, as the canine had indicated last night when everyone sought what he knew, which was in reality not much more than they knew.

Everyone in the square was wondering who it was who had signed, as they had never seen the man dressed the way he appeared today. The half-elf sported leather amour on his persona, and he wore not only the twin scimitars he practised with the night before, but also a long bow and gorgeous green quiver on his back. The man stood with confidence, his warhorse was waiting for him on the outskirts of town, where they would begin their journey. He nodded to the council members and turned towards the people who had gathered for information and without a word he looked at each person in turn. When his eyes fell upon Freki he nodded to the canine “I have signed your name as well my friend.”

Andres stood as any real warrior would stand, appearing at ease yet all senses working in overdrive. He waited for Freki to join him in the middle of the open area, and wondered if the others who had voiced their questions yesterday would have the courage to sign their names in front of the gathered group of people.

Its about time you all got to see me in my wedding dress.

But before you look at the picture I will tell you the terror story of getting it!

One weekend in January, I go into the store and look at dresses, try on several of them. After quite a few dresses I finally find a gorgeous satin dress. Its just about my size, last one in the store like that (lucky me!) I look at the price...

$1500 for the dress.

No big deal since I know people who pay double that for wedding dresses. I don't have the cash on me yet, so mom advises me to wait to get the dress. I have no choice since I don't have the money, so I thank them for their time and help and already decided on my wedding dress. Unfortunately you cannot take pictures of the dress until you purchase it.

A few weeks later, sometime in February we go back to see if the dress is still there (since every week wedding dresses are discontinued, or sold etc). I put my name on the list to find the dress again. I look everyone for it, and cannot find it in the spot I saw it the last time I was there. I start getting worried that they sold it, and then my mom (the smart cookie she is) says to look in the clearance section. So all three of us (the attendant, my mom and myself) all look in the clearance section size 10 dresses. We found it in the clearance section, meaning it was discontinued. I was suddenly super excited because the price was reduce on the price tag.

It was reduced, not to $100, not to $800, but it was reduced to $699!! I was basically jumping for joy at that point. I tried it on again, and put money down on the dress because it was now a higher risk of being sold and not being able to get the dress of my dreams. I pay over half of it that day, and told them I would be back in a week to pay off the remaining balance.

A VERY VERY long week finally goes by and we go back to the store to pick up the dress and finish paying it off. I tell the person at the desk I am here to pick up my dress and he says to give him a moment he would have somebody bring out my dress. So I go sit down, people who came in after me to pick up their dresses left. After an hour of patiently waiting for my dress to come out, they are still telling me they haven't yet found my dress and to be patient. By this point I am so upset that I make a HUGE scene in the middle of the store. I scream at the guy who was telling me to be patient and trying to blame me for not bringing in my side of the contract, when HIS employees didn't tell me I had to bring it in if they were holding it for just a week. I yelled at him to the point I was crying, shaking like a rattle snake tail. After my big scene everyone was trying to help find my dress. They sat me down in the back and gave me water, and told me my dress wasn't lost, that it was just misplaced.

After my big scene they found my dress within like 10 mins. I tried it on again to make sure it still fit good-ish and then went to pay for the rest of it. I had brought my veil, tiara and bracelet to try the dress on with. Took a picture of me in the dress that day after the big scene and such...which is why I look ready to kill somebody in the picture, and so red faced.

There story is over, you can look at my awesomeness now.

[I]“Ah, greetings again, uh, kind Elandili . I was wondering what has happened here? Why the call to arms? We only just arrived today.” Nadir's breath caught in her throat as she finished her statement. Her eyes flickered around the room as she pressed into the bar, attempting to create more space between her and the crowd around her.[/I]

Andras turned gracefully as he finished part one of his training stiff old muscles. It was a very long time ago that he had last held his twin scimitars and trained this hard. He heard her voice and could tell by her hesitation that she was not used to speaking to people, or being in large groups. Smiling to her, the barkeep lead her outside where it was less crowded before answering her inquiries.

“My Fair Lady, we are unsure of what has happened here, aside from knowing that our food supply has diminished greatly and suddenly. We hunt no more than we did in the days of our ancestors, and yet the fishermen and hunters come back with near empty baskets. Never in the history of our forefathers has anything happened like this, where we had to struggle not only against the monsters of the Chindari Plains, but also against the lands as a whole.”

As he took a moment to catch his breath, between speaking and training, he offered her a seat on the bench. It was then that he realized that the woman he spoke with was of Chindari heritage and she would be a great asset to the group, who decided to join on this mission.

“I have a debt to an old friend, and they have chosen this as my means of repaying the debt I owe to them. Please excuse me while I train my second set, I must prepare if I am to embark on this journey. I will be the first name on that list, and would not be surprised to be the last on the list. The Chindari Plains have always been a thorn in our side, and yet now it seems somebody else is trying to test the strength of the people of Falhill. You may feel free to stay out here if you would like, we could continue to discuss matters between my training.”

Without further words, the half-elf continued his training with twin scimitars. Andras moved with the grace of a seasoned warrior, his blades whistling through the wind as he followed through with the forms of his past. The muscles contracting and extending in memory of the old movements, and it was not long before the heat started to show on the barkeeps face. Perspiration began to appear on his forehead as he trained fiercely with his twin blades.

After finishing the second round of his routine, he noticed the regular Dire Wolf had also come out to speak with him. He knelt down and pet the wolf on the head scratching him behind the ear and spoke softly to him “what’s the matter friend?” he knew that the wolf was intelligent enough to communicate. It had been a long while since they actually spoke in conversation aside from the regular greeting exchanged. A smile found Andras’ lips as he considered the words of his colleague which indicated indirectly about a day such as this would occur.

It seemed to Andras that all of the occupants of the Tavern would be joining them shortly outside in the training grounds. Everyone seemed to think he knew more about the mission than them, but all he had done was say he would sign up, it didn’t matter to him what challenges he would face. He had no wife, he had no children, the only thing he had was his tavern, but he already spoke with his second in command and informed him that in his absence the Tavern was his to maintain.

Andras returned to his training for round three which was even more strenuous than the previous two training sessions. He did not seek water to replenish that which had already fallen from his brow, but instead worked even harder beneath the scorching sun.

Thal was the next member who had followed them into the training grounds. The half-elf nodded a greeting in his direction “Is there anything I could help you with Mi Lord?” In that moment he wondered if there was anyone else who would embark on this journey, or if they all wanted to see what else he knew and then wish him well on his journey. So many questions raced through his mind as he listened for replies from those he had addressed. Occasionally he would glance back towards each in person, but as he scanned the occupants of the training grounds he noticed that Siarl had also come to join the Chindari warrior, lying at her feet. A smile found his lips as he looked between both canines and shrugged slightly to himself.

After speaking briefly with Thal, the barkeep returned to start the fourth part of his training. Andras pulled a piece of cloth from his pocket and he tied it around his eyes then drawing his weapons again. All emotion disappeared from his face as he listened to the sounds around him, his breathing steady and he ran through his training slowly at first, and building up his momentum. Offensive attacks, defensive attacks, and feints it was like watching a dance. His movements were tuned to perfection in his dance; it was difficult to pull your eyes away once you saw the fluidity of his movements. The movements were flawless despite the ability to see, it seemed as if he relied on his balance, and on keeping his center of gravity beneath his quick moving feet.

When the Barkeep finished his routine, he sheathed his blades and untied the cloth covering his eyes. He wiped his damp forehead with the cloth, and then put it back in his pocket. After a short break, he would start over at square one, and continue training late into the night. The half-elf spoke to all those who had joined him outside “As I am sure you all know, I plan on submitting my name to embark on this mission. I would welcome as much help as I can on this mission, but there is one condition. If any of you decide to join me in saving Falhill, I ask that somebody else take command on this mission. I am not interested in taking the leadership role; I have only been trained to cover the backs of those who were in my group. I am going to enrol early in the morning; I am hoping to see some of you there.”

Subject: Guardian Angel - Poem


I feel a presence in my life,
One I could not express.
The feeling of protection,
Is all that I can mention.

A presence from above,
Has lifted me high in the sky.
I feel as if I'm no longer walking;
But that instead; I'm flying.

The feeling of always being watched,
No longer gives me butterflies but happiness.
I've found myself a bond on which to rely.
The bond on which I rely is my guardian angel.

A person who watched over me always,
Who lifts me up when I fall,
Who's there for me when I celebrate;
A person who protects me from harm.

The one who keeps me going no matter what,
The guardian angel in my case is my best friend.
A friend who leaves footprints in my heart,
And the friend who stays up late until the problems solved.

A guardian angel is a friend for life,
A person to whom you can confide,
A person you trust whole heartedly.
Most importantly, somebody you love.

Let the news be spread,
Let us celebrate what is ours,
Let us share the love
And always remember somebody is watching.

Master Vorlace’s voice rang out through the doors as he spoke the last words “If you wish, when we are done eating I will leave you once again to discuss the merits and potential dangers of my proposal. And what we must do will be dangerous, but I have confidence that those who have made it this far can triumph over it.”

The doors opened to the dining hall admitting a beautiful woman with tan skin. Her charcoal eyes quickly scanning those already present at the table, but falling upon the host. Pace quickening until she was closer to him she gave a bow of the head “Good Day Mast Vorlace, please forgive my lateness however I had some things I had to see to before being able to agree to your terms.” Her voice was heavenly to those who were not from Elven heritage.

Standing at five-foot-three-inches tall she was considered average among her people, but short to most other races. The woman was gorgeous, and her features, if not her voice revealed to the rest of the room that she was an elf of sort. The more knowledgeable of the group would place her in the Wild Elf family, where as others may just think her a regular elf. The wild elf sported long black curly hair and was wearing a very elegant green strapless dress which revealed her tanned skin.

Slowly taking her seat in an available chair at the table, the servants had poured the drink, and served the food. Nodding to them the lady raised her voice “I am Ceridwen Humiltria, for those who do not already know based on my appearance, I am an elf, and druid. I hope that you will all embark with me on the journey Master Vorlace has set for us. I will also inform you that I have a wolf companion, so do not be alarmed if on our journey a wolf appears to be following or tracking us.” She then went to eating the meal before her in silence nodding to each person as they introduced themselves. The way she walked, the way she sat, showed them all, despite her beauty; she would be able to hold her on in a battle. Ceridwen did not have any weapons that were seen with the naked eyes, but all those who knew of the druid, knew she would have a weapon concealed somewhere on her person.

Fred is the void in the DragonChat section. If you idle too long you will be booted from the chatroom and be force to log out and log back into the chat again. It warns you before the attack, he counts the minutes you are idle. Sometimes he has a higher tolorance than other days. Try to keep idle time to under 20 mins in the chat.

Don't worry about not knowing the rules, most (if not all) DM's here are really good with teaching people the ropes. They can send you the handbooks, or give you useful links. Some will even create your character sheet for you. We are all here to give tips. All games in the DnD section have a Questions and Answers form, and all DM's are fine getting PM's where their game is concerned. Just don't worry we are all here to help.

Actually it is in the North Western area of Italy. Near Milano. A small town (can't spell it properly) Abiattegrasso.

My guy already lives there, so I will have him come down to get married here, then head out Italy after the honeymoon. Maybe I will decide to go on the honeymoon on our 1 year anniversary. That would be wonderful, but who knows, we will see what happens.

Don't worry he has internet, but not the best internet. They are 6 hours ahead of us over here, so I have to be careful of the times I log in, otherwise I miss everyone.
