Topic: The Great War
Subject: Hmm... Well, this seems familiar.
"Burnt your hand eh, dwarf? But not the human's. How interesting. Perhaps it's got to do with the fact that the boys got a fiery spirit raging inside of him. He was prepared to fight me. That in itself takes guts. But, that could be nothing. I've heard everyone say that can't pick up my weapon. It numbs the hands." Hirokuun pulled it close to him, looking at the faint patterns of frost that were made on his naginata. It was strange. He had thought it was only for the gifted. Maybe it was. But that would mean... this boy...
"I don't think I've seen anything like it. But perhaps you should learn more about it before you get yourself hurt. Swinging a blade in my direction isn't the best thing to do. Just some friendly advice."

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Ha! Tiamat. Nothing but some mindflayers sick experiment on a dragon.
"Of course Camille, I'm sure you're tired. We'll talk later, sister." Xavier nodded knowingly to his sister. She must be exhausted after her journey, and experience in the camp.
As the governor began talking, Xavier had no choice but to listen. After all, he did keep his promise... there was no need to drink from him. And so, Bailash began telling them of a story of five cults to Tiamat... The Melted Black Fist, The Ice Heart, The Green Talon, The Blue Tempest, and the Fire Branded Red Hand. Well, many people delude themselves into believe something. Let them think what they want.
"Well, the house is the best idea at this point. And the more we know, the better off we'll be. However, we also know that we're good. And the cults devoted to Tiamat are a bunch of people dressed up in some robes who don't know what's good for them. After all, they think Tiamat's a goddess... Which isn't too healthy. But, when people delude themselves, they think they're more powerful. Well, I guess we have to investigate this. Is that the general idea governor? I'm all for it, if that's the case."

Topic: Of Dragons and Men Questions and Answers
Subject: Currently...
The girl took off at a run (4x move speed) before combat, giving her 120 feet of distance between the two of them. Then, in the next round, Achilles appeared about 15 feet in front of the girl via abundant step, which is where her shadow is. Then, she proceeded to continue further.
The shadow and Achilles are about 135 feet away, Nino is 165.

Subject: Well.
The little girl isn't really fearsome... her shadow on the other hand, is somewhat intimidating.
Also, this is a fantasy game. Appearances can be deceiving.

Topic: Of Dragons and Men Questions and Answers
Subject: Okay... And so combat begins.
Alright everyone, the post is up.
I did my best to make everything as simple as possible, and listing everything that was important. If I missed anything, let me know.
Also, I've decided that after the combat has been resolved (either the enemies are dead, or in no way to harm you, and locked away or something) I will explain them. As in, tell you what their class levels were, feats, bonuses, etc. This will happen for all the enemies.
And Nimu... I just realized how much I hate that Dominate Person spell. Good move though. I congratulate you for it.
Also, I used a random roller for all the rolls in question... namely the one at
Pen Paper and Pixel
Alright, any questions, ask away!

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: Alright, this is the first time I've done this, so let's try and make this simple...
OOC:Initiatives:
Selunine: 8 ( 5+3 )
Morasennarion: 25 ( 20+5 )
Trillion: 22 ( 16+6 )
Achilles: 23 ( 19+4 )
Ninian: 4
Sonia: 14
Nino: 6
______________________________
Morasennarion whirls around as the women emerge, and immediately moves to take up a defensive stance in front of Ninian. Drawing her blade as she goes, she prepares herself for the worst, readying herself to defend against anything which may come toward Ninian with the intention of harming her.
Achilles decided to take a more offensive approach. He quickly fumbles with his two amulets, replacing his normal one with the new amulet found in the ancient chest. He then takes out his quarterstaff, and takes what appears to be one step. However, the step that he takes seems to tear him through reality, and he reappears in front of the little girl, staff in hands. However, the supernatural powers that coursed through him caused a brief moment of fatigue, and he was unable to attack the girl yet. But he was ready.
Trillion also had decided to take an offensive approach to this assault. Calling forth magical energies from her celestial blood, and feeling the pulsing energies of magic go through her, she shaped them to her own will, compacting the magic to form a tiny bead of glowing orange. Then, gesturing slightly off center of the woman, and the bead leapt from her hands, flying across the distance to precisely where Trillion had directed it, and then exploding into a brilliant ball of orange fire, engulfing the woman. When the fire cleared, however, the woman stands there, in an impossible position with her knees bent at a 90 degree angle, her lying straight out, but not touching the ground. When she rises back up, she doesn't even appear to have been singed by the blast.
(Reflex save: 30 - evasion negates damage)
The woman then laughs. "You dare defy me, simpletons? Very well... you shall die like everyone else has before you!" With that, the woman begins moving her hands in intricate patterns, the movements of a witch. There is a faint metallic clinking underneath her cloak, but it does not seem to be impeding her spellcasting in any way. "You know, some say our world will end in fire... some say it will end in Ice." She finishes moving her hands, and a blue bead appears on her hands. "Guess which I say?"
The ball streaks from her hand, exploding in a brilliant blue light. The light engulfs Trillion, Morasennarion, and Selunine, but doesn't quite reach Ninian. The area within the light is frigid, and the cold seems to eat at your skin.
(Damage: 56, reflex half. Reflex saves:
Selunine: 28 ( 20+8 )
Morasennarion: 25 ( 16+9 )
Trillion: 32 ( 18+14 )
All take half damage)
The three of you are able to throw your hands up, cover yourself with cloaks, or look away in time to shield your vulnerable spots from the biting cold. You look back and see the witch cackling with glee.
Selunine cooly stares at the witch, as her eyes begin to glow violet. Her eyes lips began muttering, and then the words became louder. These words, filled with ancient magics of her people called out to the witch, demanding her to submit to them, and stop harming them, and putting the girl in danger.
(Will Save: 17)
And with the power behind Selunine's words, the witch's cackling stops. The witch stands there dumbly, staring off into space, awaiting the orders of her new master.
When Achilles appears in front of her, the little girl lets out a small yelp, but doesn't stop her advance. Instead, she leaps forward at the man, but then curls inward, and rolls through his legs. She gets back up on her feet, but as Achilles turn to face her, he notices that the girls shadow had separated from her body... and was now standing face to face with him. A cool sensation goes through Achilles, and he looks down to see one of the shadow's wispy tendrils touching him, seeming to draw his life energy out from him. When the shadow let go, Achilles' muscles felt weaker, but only just. He could still fight.
(Nino's tumble check: 39)
(Shadow's touch attack: 19
Damage: 3 Strength Damage.)
Ninian stopped shaking her head, as the magical bombardment stopped. When she looked up to see the woman standing there dumbly, she let out a hiss, but did nothing more. Her eyes, however, seemed to emit a faint light.

Topic: The Great War
Subject: Hehe, I'm back where I started.
Hirokuun sat on the roof of the academy. He had grabbed a bite to eat, and then slipped back into the shadows. There were too many people there, and quite a few were elves, who might recognize his tattoos. They were very close to the racial tradition, but with a few adaptions on his part. He was special, so why shouldn't his tattoos be as well.
The lycan he had spoken with earlier still loomed in his thoughts, but so was that other woman... the other elf. Her opinions of war seemed so... naive. War was necessity. Peace was only a time between wars, so that both sides can prepare. There was no stopping it. He had learned that, and accepted it. If only others could too...
Then, his ears picked something up. Someone was shouting, but a ways away. It sounded interesting though, so Hirokuun decided to move over to investigate.
Skirting soundlessly over the rooftops, Hirokuun realized the sound was from inside. Well, at least it sounded like there weren't as many people there. Well, here's to hoping they weren't elves...
Hirokuun slipped down and entered the building to see a dwarf and a human before him. He recognized them from earlier in the day, when he wrestled with the Lycan. What shocked him was the blade in the boys's hand. It was unlike anything he had seen. Instinctively, upon seeing a blade in someone's hand, he took out his Naginata and shifted stances.
"Boy, what have you got there? Speak now. The blade seems made not by humanoid hands... at least, not in this time."

Topic: Peradyse Lost
Subject: Alexandria.
Alexandria woke from her trance. Her prayers had been unusually strange last night... they were less relaxed, more antsy. The moon, though she could not see it, must be nearing its full point. Eilistraee was getting feisty. But, there was no reason for her to leak this out onto her followers, and she knew it. So, Alexandria aimed to offset the angst of the full moon with her kindness towards those around her.
"A bath in the creek would be wonderful. What a brilliant suggestion Brianna." A warm smile crossed Alexandria's face. Her eyes twinkling, Alexandria strongly resembled her goddess. Some thought that it was from her link to the moon maiden... Alexandria simply counted her luck stars.

Topic: So who was your first?
Subject: The first in Gboy's life.
My first just so happened to be a kobold rogue by the name of Shensing. He followed the typical story of the beaten down adventurer. Orphan, street child, formed a group of friends so that they could survive, captured and tortured, escaped, etc. But then, I just so happened to fit right in with our groups other rogue... and the fighter... and the BBEG (which I didn't know at the time.)
So then I proceeded to get adopted, left right and center. I went into the game being Shensing. I came out being Shensing Forgingaxe-Tossocobble-Blackthorn. The BBEG of the game adopted me last... then one time, my character said he was glad to have three parents... And the group just so happened to wonder who the third was. When I happened to say it was Mr. Blackthorn... well. Hell and high water happened. I received many verbal lashings from my other "parents", but I couldn't turn my back on him. I actually ended up convincing him to join us... and then another BBEG took his place.
Needless to say, it was an incredibly fun time.

I had planned to update on the weekend, but as you all know, we had a bit of a service outage.
Has anyone heard from Stryke? I sent him a PM a while ago, and he never responded.
Any questions, just ask.

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: Overdue Game Post.
Mora's Home
All focus seems shifted now from haphazard ideas toward two things: the contents of the chest which Achilles dug up, and Selunine's vision.
As the book was passed around, it became clear that the strange writing on it was something that nobody could understand. It had the basis of many different languages, but it seemed to have its own style which was entirely foreign to everyone.
Trillion stepped forward to detect magic on the two items, the book and the pendant. The two items are magical, with minor auras of illusion and transmutation. The box however, is also magical, with a strong aura of conjuration.
When the book is presented to Mora's parents, they seem puzzled. Her father addresses you, "You found that on our property? I aint never seen it before. I can't even read the cover of it. Is it some kinda storybook or something? Still, seems like an interesting find. You go ahead and keep it. It's nothing of ours."
However, when the talk of Melios' breath began, a cackle is heard from behind you. Out of nothing appears two women, one a fully developed adult, the other a little girl. They stand roughly 50 feet away from you. The two have similar features, both being thin and tanned, with vibrant green hair. Over their right eyes, they each have a tattoo of what seems to be a massive tooth. The older one is covered with many more tattoos on her arms, hands and feet, but the little girl is untouched by in save the tooth.
The older one looks at your group, a sneer on her face. "Melios' breath eh? It seems like you don't know what you're meddling with. A quick word of advice; give us the girl, and forget everything that you know. It'll all be over soon." She gives the little girl beside her a tap on the shoulder. The little one takes off in the opposite direction, towards Badon, running at full speed.
The tattooed woman points at Ninian. "Like I said, give her to me, and this will be so much easier. I don't want to have to have things get ugly, and I somehow feel you don't either. Ninian, come over here. Linus misses you. He wants to see you again."
Ninian shakes her head vigorously. "No... no... she's attacking my mind... not Linus... no..."

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Xavier to Camille.
"Camille, there is a mess outside of town. There's a ghost house which we investigated..." Xavier cast a glance back toward Lacey.
"Well, by we, I mean mostly Lacey there. However, there have been certain disturbances that the town has noticed... we're going to meet with the governor now to discuss this issue further. It seems like it's dangerous. But, we need to go see the governor, at least for a debriefing of the last mission."
Xavier softly reaches out a hand and strokes Camille's hair tenderly. "Sister, you must tell me all about your journey later... you have much to share."

Grugg, a dance off is the best idea.
Syanide, I'm just enjoying posts like this because it makes me realize how little of a life I actually have... not really, but I find I often obsess a bit for this kind of stuff for a while, then cool down. Nothing serious.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Well...
"To be fair, my darling knight protector, the governor requested her back to be returned to me... so, since we're all here, we might as well go to the manse together."
Xavier sat with his sister on the horse as he spoke with Tenacity, calmly stroking her hair. At Tenacity's remark and inquiry, Xavier says, "Aye, those are my associates. We're good friends with the governor by now. And we've all kind of been thrown together... So that's our story, what about yours miss knight protector armed escort? And don't worry... I've been able to handle myself when I've run amok with armed escorts before." He said with a wicked grin.
"Kidding, of course. But seriously, I'm more than I look like."

Topic: The Great War
Subject: Well... Lycan it is.
So she really is a Lycan. I thought she was bluffing. Hirokuun's brow furrowed as she transformed. He kept pace, but fell back a bit. He wasn't the most comfortable around Lycans. Better than other elves, but still. Well, he would tame her... but he couldn't be bothered right now. He had to find that shift. But perhaps she was some part of it...
As the wolf came back with the womanly possessions in her mouth, Hirokuun could only shake his head. "You Lycans are strange. But if you're done running, and we're heading back, then I'm game. Hopefully there will be food. I could probably find some herbs that I could survive on, but cooked food is better."

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Sorry for the delay.
Xavier marched onward to the governor's manse as Ardulace dropped back to speak with Selummiel. He began to whistle a cheery tune. He hadn't felt this alive for a long time... He would need to feed more often. He loved the feeling. And feed he might... if the governor didn't uphold his promise regarding his sister.
But then, something caught his eye. Across the busy streets of Leaphaven, he saw two figures, standing out because they were mounted. He thought he saw movement, but he couldn't notice anything. He gave the situation a double take, and noticed what he had missed the first time. One of the riders had taken off her hood. Nothing spec- Wait a minute. Is that? No... really?
Xavier did a hopskip, and took off after the two riders. "Camille! Camille it's me! Camille!"
Xavier, with he refound agility and reflexes nimbly dodged and ducked through the crowded streets. The gap between he and the riders closed rapidly, and with grace, Xavier leapt up on to the horse with his sister on it. Wrapping her in a loving embrace, he said "Camille... it's so good to see you again. I was worried. Oh Camille... I'm so glad you're alive!"
Xavier then turns to face the other rider. "Miss, thank you for returning my sister to me. I believe I must travel to the governor's manse to tell him that I am thankful... oh well. Thank you very much again."
Xavier then turned to get as good a look at Camille as he could from the back of the horse. Her long white hair seemed slightly dirty, but it was still smooth. Her ears belied her distinction from him, the traditional elven ears, as oppose to his human ones. He had caught a glimpse of her red eyes, piercing through the pale skin. She hadn't changed much physically, but being imprisoned must do many things to you psychologically. He hoped she wasn't too different.

Subject: Running.
"So how long do you plan to run? If there's one thing that I've heard the Lycanthropes are known for, it's their endurance. I have fairly good endurance, coming from my training. I've become almost super elven by my races standards."
Hirokuun drew in measured breaths, and once again permitted his hair to dance around him.

Topic: The Great War
Subject: Well.
"I'm not sure what shift I felt either... but something has somewhat prodded me in this direction. I'm suspecting a person, or a plot, or something. However, I'm not sure yet."
Hirokuun snorts and spits some phlegm out to the side, and then continued speaking. "I have no family, and never will. I'm too unique for my own culture."
