Linnix's eyes widen for a moment, but then she smiles as well, "You'll teach me?"
Still smiling, Linnix looks away, and blushes slightly, "I've never tried dancing before... It might take me a while to learn, but I'll do my best."
Already looking better, as though her slight depression never occured, Linnix jumps to her feet, "I can't wait! Well, sitting around isn't going to get this quest over any faster, so I guess we should pack up and get ready."
Linnix pauses for a moment, "Wierd, now I'm hungry... I'll go see if there's any leftovers from brunch. Judging from what I saw, I think there should be some."
Linnix dashes off towards the remnants of the miniature feast that was provided for a quick bite to eat.

Subject: The Hope of Dawn
Linnix turns once more to Aelistae, and just murmurs a single word, "How?"
Her eyes, still distant and haunted, begin to hold within them a glimmer of hope.

Subject: Dreams
Linnix stares blankly ahead, seeming to be very far away, but then she nods.
"They're strange, aren't they?" Linnix murmurs, "Why do dreams seem so persistent at times, but when you want to see one, it never returns?"
Linnix's head turns and she looks at Aelistae, "Last night, I was awoken three times. It was alright at first, because the dream actually stayed with me, much to my surprise, until the last awakening, and then it never came back."
"I didn't even recognize where I was initially," Linnix continues, the words just flowing from her like an unblocked waterfall, "not that it really mattered. I just felt like walking, and so I walked forward, through the many turns and alleyways. Then I noticed that I was only a little girl, so it was no wonder that it seemed to take a while. There was a break then, when I first woke up, but when I went back I had passed that maze in the city, and I was older, but still younger than I am now. The buildings and houses were all blurry and vague, except for one."
Linnix's right hand clenches, as though the motion would somehow take her back to her dream, "I could see Her through the window of that house. Then there is another break, which was the second time I was woken up. When I went back, I was inside the house, I was the same age as I am now, and She had made tea. She didn't seem concerned that I was there, and She even smiled at me, it was as though-"
Linnix stops momentarily and bites her lip, "I had only taken one sip of tea, when I was woken for the third time. It was slightly sweet, but very warm, and had a slight peppermint flavour. I tried to go back, but the dream just wouldn't come back. It was gone. She was gone."
A few tears start to fall from Linnix's eyes, and she quickly turns and rubs her sleeve across them, drying them. Her voice barely audible, Linnix murmurs, "Why did She have to go? Why did I ever leave Her?"

Subject: Clashes of the Twilight
The sun had risen, and is already nearing its peak in the sky, but it is unnoticed by the still form below. Linnix stirs sleepily, and rubs her eyes, which are still red from crying, and have shadows below them. Unsteadily, she stands, her knees threatening to buckle and her legs hardly supporting her; she didn't get much sleep at all.
Leaning on the tree, she quietly listens to the relative silence of the plain before her. Linnix yawns, trying to wake up already. She turns around and stumbles forward, making her way back to the campsite. She could feel how alone she really was, even as she reached the campsite with the people there already lively and conversing. She ignored them; it wasn't her conversation, and it felt like she was intruding. She stumbles over to the pile of excess things, and pulls out a short sword. Swinging it negligently and feeling that it's close enough to suit her needs, she puts it in the now vacant sheath at her side. However, it takes her a couple of tries to do so. She also pulls out the bolts and places those in her pack. Just then however, she hears Kas's comment.
Her voice sounding extremely tired and even near dead, Linnix turns to the woman, "How about you get off your soapbox and toss that halo somewhere it can actually do something? Like maybe bolt your mouth shut. I don't know what world you come from, but here things aren't so black and white as your colourblind eyes see."
Linnix's tired, red eyes stare directly into Kas's ones, appearing bleak and uncaring, "I shouldn't have to remind you, but people tend to have reasons for being where they are, and often have different intentions. I'm here because I signed the contract to fulfill my sponsor's quest, NOT any things on the side that pop up. Coming to a judgment based on something that's not even a part of what the whole group was interested in is rather pathetic, and I suggest you learn to understand rather than jump on that soapbox at first chance. You think you can do that, or are those angel feathers what makes up your brain too?"
Seeing Kas's mouth open to respond, Linnix cuts her off, "By the way, I am not in the mood to chit chat, so if you want to say something, write it down somewhere to bring up later. Maybe you can tack the note on your soapbox. Don't worry, I'm sure you won't forget it then."
Not feeling hungry, and still looking rather pale, Linnix wanders off to the side of the camp, where she slumps against the side of the cave.

Subject: By The Way...
I have a secondary character, so if Iskanna dies it's not a big deal... although I wonder if Grugg will get more than he's asking for with my second character...
Anyway, I say this just so no one feels obligated to try to pay for a resurrection spell or anything if Iskanna falls.

Topic: ~*Whom Gods Annoy*~
Subject: Shot of Retribution
Iskanna nearly freaks out after being shot, but then instantly tries to calm herself. They were after a group of criminal types, of course there'd be fighting and even maybe an ambush, she should have anticipated it. Iskanna reaches over her shoulder and pulls out her own bow. I'll save my magic for now, at least until after I get this one shot in. She thinks.
Her coal black eyes go flat as she nocks and draws the bow. Around the arrow a slightly black outline appears, the black of the void. Iskanna fires the bow, the arrow leaving a slight black trail behind it as it heads towards the man with the crossbow.
After the attack, Iskanna steps behind her companion, knowing she'll have to rely on her magic at some point.
(One Aspect of the Destroyer Arrow aimed at the bowman (+7 attack and 1d8+7 damage) and one 5 ft step behind Toby)

Subject: Request...
For the masterwork hand crossbow and all the excess bolts in the party supplies please 
Apart from that... Linnix might grab one of the short swords in the party supplies since she never got a real chance to see how wielding one would be.
I don't think Linnix would directly ask for any of the identified magic items, since she feels others would likely use it rather than her (and have more reason to).

Subject: Fragment of Sorrow
"Leave me be." Linnix's voice softly carries to her pursuers.
Sitting against the tree she was originally sleeping against, and in her original position, Linnix softly cries into her crossed arms, which rest on her knees. Her crossbow and dagger had been put away, and now she was ready for the day to be over. Let sleep come quickly, Linnix thought wishfully, and with it, the dream I wanted.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Fragment of Hatred
How dare you?! HOW DARE YOU?! Linnix's face contorts in rage and sheer hatred. She swiftly grabs her fallen hand crossbow and promptly stands, firing at the fleeing enemy. Too slow. The enemy's speed, typical of such a pathetic soul, has put him out of Linnix's range.
Linnix's hands clench the crossbow's handle viciously, as though she were throttling her enemy's neck. The scream started deep within her enmity and, by the time she vocalized it, it held all her defiance and hatred to those who had wronged her. For being short of breath from combat, the scream lasted for a considerable length of time.
Unable to do anything, Linnix slumps to the ground, her eyes still with the glint of cold blooded hatred that would allow her to kill anyone. I know your face Linnix sourly thinks, finally forming a coherent thought, and you will die, by my hand if I have anything to say about it.
Exhausted and angry, yes those feelings held Linnix, but now she could think, and now she felt sorrow. She was sad that she couldn't resume her dream, which had been so promising, and she was sad that she had cast that blade aside like it was nothing. That blade Linnix wonders, what a strange thing it was.
Linnix slowly prys her hands off of the crossbow's handle, and feels a few tears fall down her cheek. The loss of her dream felt nearly as bad as leaving her behind.

Subject: Hmm, even then...
Are you sure that you can trip for an AoO? I thought you're only allowed a melee attack (pg 137 makes it appear that way anyway).
Just wondering because that'd be good to know if you can do things other than attack on an AoO... now off to school...

Subject: Question
If the person was unarmed, how could they take an attack of opportunity? I don't think you're allowed to follow through an attack of opportunity if the response would provoke one as well (which an unarmed strike or trip attempt would normally).

Topic: Auguries of Destruction: The Linsemptus - Q/A
Subject: Alternatively...
I could start with the side adventures of the two complete characters...
For the most part, the characters are coming from different places and backgrounds, so it isn't actually necessary to start as a whole, although it'd be preferred.
So, if wanted, I can begin with Hammer and Kaelyn.

I still need the backgrounds for Grugg, cdnflirt and Sibelius.
As soon as those are done, and I receive them, then this campaign will start with the ready characters.

Topic: Drakehorde: Daggers in the Night
Subject: Strike
Riina watches the effects of Acantha's casting, her eyes viewing the procedings carefully. Her eyes scan over the entangled goblins, the free goblin and elf, and the entangled wolf and other elf. So, like all things, it both can aid and harm; it does not distinguish between an ally or enemy so long as it is in its grasp. Riina quietly thinks. Nocking another arrow, she raises her bow and fires at the free goblin, just barely daring to hope that it will fall.

Topic: The Official Red Dragon Inn Name Generator thread
Subject: This looks interesting...
What are you considering to use for the language of the code? If you don't mind putting in a java applet, I think I might actually be able to build it.
Well, that is of course if you don't have a prototype made already
From a programming perspective, perhaps instead of going by names in the database for the number of syllables (which change over time with varying names and so forth), why not try with a sort of standardized bell curve? That way, rather than the common number of syllables growing more common as they would eventually in the suggested system, there would be a consistent chance to get longer or shorter names. It's just a thought, but that way too it might help to reduce computer usage since it wouldn't have to check through the list of names every time you wanted to generate a new name.
Hmm, I can't think of anything else offhand to suggest... but I like the idea!

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: A Blade of Reason
Accursed blade Linnix thinks bitterly, feeling her arms go stiff as soon as she went to strike. With a clatter, the sword falls from her hands as she draws one of her daggers from its sheath at her belt. The blade's words still echo in Linnix's mind, boring straight through her emotions and instincts to combat with her anger. Shaking her head to clear her mind, she turns to the stranger.
"You know, anyone can tell a tale," Linnix says, her voice straining to remain steady as she grips the dagger, her knuckles turning white as she brings it in a position to strike, "and we've been deceived twice already."
(OOC: Linnix is basically preparing to do a coup de grace to the person; if he reacts by going for a weapon, she'll go ahead and attack anyway, if he doesn't, well... we'll have to see)

Topic: Welcome or Not!
Subject: Smooth like the Silken Dress She Wears
The woman turns, and regards the man carefully, her hand moving to her chin in thought as she takes in his appearance.
"I don't believe so; I'm sure I would remember." The woman says finally, the lie smoothly hidden in her steady, matter-of-factly voice.
In truth, it wasn't even that much of a lie; her form now is quite different from her real form, and so she was basically a whole other person, and they hadn't even met when she was in her natural form, separated by several metres as she flew above. As for the beginning question stopped so abruptly by the man, it was quite true he never saw her; at the time, she was invisible. With the half-truth, the lie becomes lost from sight.
Hidden in the form of an elven woman, the little sylph girl once again turns to leave.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Fell the Fallen with Fury
Linnix glares at the rider rushing towards her. She had dared to hope such an imbecile would be as weak as the pathetic soul within. Well then, there was no choice. Dropping the crossbow to the ground, her hand grips the hilt of the unknown sword. Linnix draws the sword with a smooth motion, its slight blue aura flowing along behind it like a thin flame, a whisper of silent and unknown power.
Not even thinking about the repurcussions of wielding such a mystery untold, Linnix grips the sword's unfamiliar hilt in both hands and slashes down at her chosen foe. There was nothing else in the world at that time, only Linnix's foe, and the fury behind her attack. This nuisance was the reason she had been woken up, and the beginning of her dream was so promising, they had robbed her of that dream, and now they were going to pay with their life.

Topic: Auguries of Destruction: The Linsemptus - Q/A
Subject: Hmm, regarding a large number of players
Now that I've thought it over, I'm afraid I might have to go ahead and start the game as it is with the five players (as soon as they get me their backgrounds)
There is also the very slim possibility I might end up cutting the player list, just to forewarn those who don't have their character sheet or paragraph.
I know there are extrenuating circumstances, especially at this time of the year (school year specifically), but it isn't really fair to keep the people who are ready waiting... So, I think I'll end up compromising, and start as soon as I have the five player's backgrounds, but have it so that the other four can enter when they're ready. For that reason, I've added the Backgrounds column to the player table list, just so it's easier to see.
If you're missing an item, please get that sent to me when you can, and for backgrounds, it's alright if some details are missing, as I know several people in particular will wish to have incredibly thorough backgrounds.

Subject: Well,
If you want to specify a specific area or locale, or reference any place in particular in your background history, then you can; otherwise I'll just think of a place for you to enter. Does that sound OK?

Topic: Auguries of Destruction: The Linsemptus - Q/A
Subject: Well...
I think I can handle it ^_^
At any rate, you all expressed interest, so the least I can do is do my best to make sure that it's not a problem with the number of players or whether the party is unbalanced or anything like that. Don't worry about it.
It's my duty to make sure this is a fun game, even with a larger number of people, and I think I'm up for the challenge. If anything, a larger number of people gives me a lot more to write about! (I love creative writing... can you tell? )
On another note, I've nearly gotten the geography of Tiancann thought out, so if you want to specify a starting locale, this hopefully will help.
Tiancann is a continent that can be divided into five regions geographically. There is the western forest province that spans from the northern mountain range to the sandy shores of the south. In the center is a wide plain, with only a single city breaking its flat horizon. In the east there is an interlay of rivers from the northern mountain region and the eastern ocean, forming a lush environment. In the south, it is mostly desert-like, with soft, fine sand dunes forming a second ocean between the southern border of the plains and the southern ocean that is broken by a vast oasis of green. In the frozen north, on the other side of the mountain range, is a penninsula that reaches towards the northern pole of the planet. The northern mountain range reaches from the east to the west in a fairly straight line across the top of the continent. South from the center of the mountain range is the lonely mountain of Venerro, some few killometres from the nearest mountain. Its peak scratches the sky above, and easily dwarfs many of the other mountains. As such, it is easy to see against the horizon from all the corners of the continent.
Along with five regions are five main cities. The northern city of Girhn on the north penninsula specializes in the mining of the riches in the mountain range, with artisans forming weapons, armour, statues and treasure alike with the valuable ores and metals. The eastern capital of Aqinarr utilizes the best that the ocean can provide, with its navy of fishing boats as well as specialized diving legions to mine the pearls hidden along the eastern reefs. The desert city of Fonhinqann actually thrives in the otherwise hospitable environment, working with the oasis to cultivate the otherwise infertile land, and using the mighty winds of the desert to further their progress. The forest city of Hylon uses the riches that the western forest itself provides, creating beautiful worksmanship in their culture and wonderfully carved halls. The final city in the center of the continent is the meeting and trading captial of these four cities, and as such holds a majestic apparel that is impossible for either city to attain on its own, using the wooden carvings from the west, the metalwork of the north, the power of the wind from the south, and the beauty of the ocean from the east. This city is undoubtedly the capital of Tiancann, known as Wanqir. It is here where the delegates from the four other cities meet, to decide the course of the future for Tiancann based on what they need as a whole, recognizing individual needs but each elected to know when sacrifice is required to benefit the whole in the long run. Under such rule, the continent of Tiancann has thrived for a millenia, until now, when the disaster of the Linsemptus strikes...
