I just LOVE it when I start talking to people in German to get some practice in, and my accent instantly pegs me as American.... and so they decide to practice their English...

I love it when I try to log into my email, but it says wrong ID or pass and I KNOW FOR FACT that it's right. I especially enjoy when I log onto a different part of the exact same server with the exact same name and pass, and it works, then try to redirect myself back to my email via that page... and it says wrong ID or pass.

Technology rocks!

Topic: Your Opinion?
Subject: Vil


I think Vil nailed it. It started out real nice and smooth, and then got extremely jerky once he left the boat. Maybe this is how you wanted it to be, but I felt a bit confused and unable to grasp what was happening.

Does it remain like this for the rest of the story or does it mellow out a bit after the "mania" as Vil puts it.

Good though! I thrillers

Subject: Fire!


hmm.. so the magical beasties are more beasty than magical... So they don't like fire, eh?

"Here, ignite them!" Adrian called out as he grabbed a patch from his robe. Two lanters, lit and filled with oil, appear in his hands, and he offers them to the front lines as he tries to get up from the floor.

He had the power to ignite them himself, but doing so might cause more harm to his allies than his enemies. Best to let the others deal with it. His sword was ineffective, but at least he was not alone. Only the burning blade of Arien was able to damage these things.

Meanwhile, he had some injuries of his own to tend to, but they were not the most pressing issue. Dispatch the threat, then treat your wounds...

I hope I still have that potion...

I think I've changed my mind. I'd like to fill the priest position - as a druid if you don't mind.

Occy was fun, but I've just played him too often. He's more of the "emergency concept" kind of guy. I think with a little more planning time I'd like to work on a druid. I only remember playing one, and it was quite fun.

I have some free time, it seems. Two of the most successful Audalis games I've played in here have seen use of my favorite Bard. I may give him a shot.

Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: Spidey


IMHO I would have preferred if they just left the Sandman out. Venom didnt get NEARLY enough screen time (and I mean Grace's venom, not the lame black suit thing).

I agree, way too many subplots for that movie. I still liked it, but walked out of the theater dissapointed. The ending just felt lacking. Too much going on and too quick of a resolution. I wanted another half-hour or so.

Going to see Pirates tonight! Arrrrrrr

Subject: he's awake!


Your shiny friend is awake! Where's my nut!

The message pierced Valentine's thoughts as the sparkles blasted their way to the beasts, seemingly to no avail. Well, question 1 answered. They don't need their eyesight. Now for question 2... how well can they *really* fight?

With his prized glassteel bastard sword in both hands, Adrian takes a few steps to the side and takes "aim" to pull one away from the pack and deal with it personally.

He's coming. I did my job goodly! Where's my nut!

"Arien is awake. Make room for his entrance."

Yes, Killer. I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment...

Tactics: Attack one of the newcomers from the side and engage. Load up a Haste if things start to get ugly.

Subject: Bullywugs!


Bullywugs...May they die admirably. Valentine thinks as they come into existance and begin their assigned task. Almost immediately one of them finds the embrace of eternity.

"Perhaps this will be a bit more difficult..." he says aloud to anyone nearby, keeping an eye on the rather chaotic battle between the Greens. His focus was on the webbed ones. They would be his targets. Well, with the spellbinder taking a nap, it appears we will be resting after this ordeal. Might as well enjoy some liberal use of mana. It will be a nice change of pace from his usual swordplay.

Ironic that he now uses his comrads as the physical meat shields... the very tactic for which he would condemn his former comrades in the Red corps. It was much easier to simply be a background mage though... He would never succumb to that lazy attitude. This was temporary, forced upon him by the closed quarters of their battlefield.

Left hand upon his sword, and off-hand in his precious component pouch, he took a second to look for an opening in the battle...

If he finds such an opening as to make it down the stairs and past the Greens:

AND if it appears he can act before they break the web, Adrian will take it and stand behind his summoned froggys with a small amount of butter coating his right hand fingers, performing the ritual to summon a Grease spot below them, in an attempt to remove their web-breaking leverage and prolong their containment.

If it appears he cannot act until after they break the web, Adrian will take it and stand behind his summoned froggys, using them as a barrier, with the tri-colored pinch of sand required to spray forth color at the sap-covered things. Hopefully he can dazzle one of them while his frogs protect him.

If such an opening doesn't present itself... AND there is ample room left in the area, Adrian will grab another candle and repeat, bringing more monsters to delay the zombie-like things from reaching his friends.

If all the above fail, he will simply conjure a suit of armor and draw his sword to meet the sap-zombies man-to-man.

I remember like five scenes at my parents' old apartment. I moved out of there a few days after I turned one, so it had to be sometime before that. Maybe it was that ugly orange shag carpeting and green couches.

Subject: Adrian's glorious return


*heave*

*huff*

Arien you are indeed heavy, and I don’t believe it’s your armor.

With the aid of Kilgrim, Adrian finally managed to get the fallen knight to safety. Well, relative safety. With this magical aura and the flickering of his senses, there was naught but danger here.

“Killer, stay put and guard the shiny one. If something approaches, hide and do not be harmed. These monsters here are not gentle. Alert me and I shall return to his aid.”

With a nod to Kilgrim, he turned his attention back to the main event. Bloodshed of sorts was certainly destined to commence on the other side of the door. Spellbinder stood not a chance against the greens. Dapple at least had the ability to remain hidden from view.

A brilliant tactical advantage we have. Hmm, should I blast them back through the door with wind? Perhaps a simple grease spell…

“Da greens, Maximus-lad. Go fer da kill!”

Adrian’s jaw dropped. If ever there was a time to smack yourself in proverbial disbelief, this was it. what a blown chance…

But there was no time to linger. Improvise! He ran through a mental inventory of his capabilities. There had to be something in his damned robe! Hmm… nothing that would not kill his comrades as well.

Damn it Valentine! You are always equipped to deal with Reds, but what can we do about Greens? he cursed to himself. Come to think of it, he had very little experience fighting Greens, at least compared to Reds and Grays.

Hmm, perhaps he would not have to engage them. As the door ahead flung open Adrian caught a glimpse of what could be just the break he needed.

A web? Perhaps Spellbinder has some wits about him afterall.

Instantly his hands thrust into the pouch around his waist, fumbling around through animal parts, various dusts and gems. His fingers could identify everything instantly by touch. Aha! He grabbed the small, half-inch candle and thrust it into one of his many small bags along his belt near the potion holders.

He drops to his knees with a not-so-graceful thud and begins mapping out an imaginary circle with his left hand, while clutching the candle-in-bag with the other, chanting all the while. It was a familiar ritual to any spellcaster, although only the more experienced once were able to make it work.

Hmmm... actually, Adrian couldn’t recall the last time he performed this ritual. Has he ever before *needed* the help of beasts?

“I bring us the gift of alliance, those willing to shed blood in my name.”

(OOC: Monster Summoning 1. He’s going to aim for as close to the web as possible, so the boom-boom-boom-booms will have something to properly greet them.)

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: ugh, orders...


This is why I left the Empire... he thought to himself as Char gave his commands. Oh well, I can't expect a man raised by wolves to have any tact. The Imperials knew better. Probably better this way. Keep that meat shield of a gladiator in the way of harm.

Adrian nodded. If he were still a Red, he would have summoned something to do the physical labor for him. Perhaps this was the woodsman's way of complimenting him on his physical achievements? Oh well, Don't read too far into it, Adrian.

Sheathing his sword, the wizard makes a few stretching flexes and first tries to hoist the knight up in a fireman's carry. Failing that, he'll simply drag him, doing his best not to scratch up his armor.

Subject: here we go...


"This is about to get extremely... dangerous" Adrian Valentine finally muttered, after the others had finished trying to figure out what happened and he moved into his designated position.

"There are those in the Empire, and assuming we are dealing with Imperials, whom practice arcana that have the power to command those of weaker wills (he aims his gaze at the direction of Arien, pausing a minute to study his aura and make sure nothing is awry) into doing their bidding, even if it means killing oneself of one's allies."

He looks to Maximus, who was obviously uncomfortable.

"It is ok, I abandoned that pathway years ago. Powers of compulsion simply no longer respond to my calling, even if I willed it. I traded them in for this blade," as he lifts the large glassteel sword and relaxes it, "in fact that, coupled with the fact I was always able to resist their charms, unlike our friend here, is the primary source of conflict between my former affiliates and myself."

Looking back to the rest of the group, noting they still had a very heavily armored problem in front of them.

"But... what bothers me is this area. The smell, the sensation of lights, and the iota of mana fluttering around, and now the pull that Jal reported. It could be the source of our friendly witch's power... or a product of it."

Valentine sighed, knowing that what he said next would not be popular.

"We ought to take Arien outside. He is only in danger here. Worse yet, he is vulnerable, as we all have seen, to the powers of our magic hostess. I would not like to risk getting attacked from behind by our own ally. Killer can watch over him, of course. My familiar and I share a natural bond and can communicate over vast distances. Of course, if you wish added protection, perhaps our dragonet would like to play the role of guard as well?"

Do I know anything from spellcraft, and am I correct that Arien is no longer glowing magical? Anything else glowing of importance?
