Leanderia could lead the way to the bandit camp, and you guys are completely free to do what you want with the bandit, but remember he is your prisoner and just outright killing him might be seen as being a little bit more evil or something, just a heads up ;P

this game is nothing like dark alliance, since dark alliance had an awesome story, fluid game play NO glitches ( except exploitable cheats) and a waaay more indepth character building system (picking your skills, stats, spells, abilites)

plus honestly its graphics werent THAT Much worse than daggerdale, and it was on the Ps2!

Subject: Here lies Gruhmbar...


The greatest Hobgoblin fighter ever known to walk the land. Overthrower of tyrants and ruler of Darguun itself, Gruhmbar fought side by side with his partner, Dorn the Warforged Barbarian, but decided to stay behind and lead his nation into another step of greatness. His downfall began when demons waged an all out war upon the lands of the mortals and tearing the lands asunder, Gruhmbar fought vigorously to save his nation. Eventually he was captured and on account of his great ties to his partner Dorn, was tortured and his soul torn from his body to power mighty engines of destruction for the demon host. Later, Dorn and his living saint Lheriel Gherrian would save the soul of gruhmbar and return it to his body for a final burial, as the body and mind was too torn and beaten to breathe life once more.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: Edge of Darkness
Subject: A short one but thats what combat gets...


The sounds of combat reverberated through out the woods as the attackers now had the tables turned on them, and were ambushed quite effectively. After the opening salvo and their leader down the three bandits remaining began to make their moves.

With his bloody and bruised face, the elf gripped his weapons and had his eyes locked on Render with much malice burning within them. He charged at the halfling who had broken his cheek and brought both his blades to bear, bringing them down on the halfling with great force. Luckily for Render though the elf got slightly caught up in the brush that he was hiding him, and the scimitar and his dagger both missed as the halfling was easily able to side step the slow swings and strikes.(two misses from the elf)

Even though he had missed his mark the first time, Uryuu's training already had another arrow notched and ready to fire in his hand. The bandit was just taking his first few steps as the arrow hit home square in the mans chest. Uryuu and the man both looked down at the arrow as it stuck in the armor, and then limped down as it did not penetrate fully through the armor, but instead caught on a metal stud. With a look of relief upon his face the man continued to carry himself forward hoping to bloody his blade.

Valandril stopped and tried to call out to the elf who was in the group, but the fighting and fire and excitement of everything made his words lost in the air, as he could only watch the elf try to stab and slice Render, who ended up not being harmed at all. Seeing Uryuu's arrow not penetrate the mans armor he moved to cross behind him and fire at the attacker, while making his way behind a large tree to his right. He loosed the arrow as he passed by Uryuu's right side, letting it sail straight into the mans chest. This time the arrow easily passed straight through what must of been a thinner part of the armor and continued on, only stopping after it buried itself five inches within the mans chest. He tripped over his own feet and fell over on his face, breaking and pushing the arrow deeper. He was unconcious but dying very quickly as blood pooled and he slowly stopped moving as much, this man was either dead or would be dead in minutes.(A good hit with double max damage for 15 damage!)

Looking up at the world from the ground the man that Basyl had knocked over grabbed his axe and shield, and tried to stand being weary of Basyl nearby. As he stood, Basyl tried to pierce his defenses at an oppurtune time but the man brought his shield down on the rapier, knocking it aside as he came to a full stand.(Failed AoO). He then gritted his teeth and swung low coming up from below with an axe swing, the blade facing upwards at Basyls lower body. The blow was easily dodged as Basyl just took a step backwards and let the axe sail into the air his attack over extending and exposing his right side to Basyl. Not missing an oppurtunity he reached out with his rapier and pierced the mans armpit pushing the rapier into the side of the man, felling him instantly.(7 damage)

Fearing for his life, Render dropped the sling where he stood and grabbed his morning star, needing something to put inbetween the mad elf and himself. He swung with the spiked club at the elf but missed hitting nothing but air. He drove the point home though that he was ready to fight for his life and whether he was smaller than the elf or not, a spike through a foot, thigh, or worse still hurts just as much as any other sized spike.

Leanderia looked around and saw that two foes were dispatched with ease, one being the assailant that was attacking the blue eyed man. Only one bandit stood and gripping her kukri tight, charged trying to end the fight an the threat of these evil men. As she made contact with the attacker she drew the blades curved edge across the left side of his face, leaving a large cut from above his temple to his jaw, and also cut off his ear. As he turned in horror to see who had attacked him she came back with a quick return and slashed the elfs throat, leaving him to drop his weapons and grasp his neck, but to no avail. He dropped to his knees and quickly bled out, with Leanderia standing above him.

With the last bandit dispatched, the only one left alive was the original victim with the dagger protruding from his collar bone area. By now he was laying on the ground with shield and flail next to him, breathing steadily and stabilized, but obviously in no condition to fight.

( Ok everyone, combat is over with all bandits killed this round and no damage taken in return. Together, there is a dagger, a shortsword, a hand axe, a scimitar, a flail, and a large and small shield. A quick look at the elf reveals a chain shirt, a studded leather suit is still just fine. The other is damaged greatly. The living prisoner has scalemail. Good job everyone, check the QnA 1st post for xp and group gear.)

It's impossible to stealthily move away if your opponent is watching you, but if they become distracted and take their eyes off you have a chance to hide. So, Uryuu if your assailant doesn't look away or get distracted, you won't be able to sneak away.

No, thats just a normal move action on his part. but if you go first in initiative you'll be able to shoot before he attacks.

Subject: post is up!


As the sounds of four very angry and violent ruffians grew near, the group quickly sprang into action to do what they thought was the best choice. Taking advantage of the darkened surrounding and sudden chaos, Render just shrugged at the new arrival and did one of the things he did best, hid. He found a decent spot just outside of the fire light and waited with a bullet ready to fly when the perfect opportunity arose.

“Please help me!" Was all that Leanderia had time to say before she moved closer to the group. But none of the group that she stumbled upon made any sudden moves to help her, and some movement out of the corner of her eye disappeared into the bushes, what it was she couldn't figure out but she swore there was a person standing there just before, someone very short. Were these people just as bad as the ones who captured her? If they were, then she was out of options as running was getting very tiresome fast in the heavy armor she wore.

Uryuu moved in first and fast to cut her bonds with his curved blade and let the ropes fall to the ground. Uryuu then flipped the blade over offering it to Leanderia, giving her something to defend herself with. They both knew a fight was to come and they couldn't afford an obvious combatant to be left out. Who knew how tough these brigands were and what they could be bringing along? As Leanderia took the blade Uryuu quickly skirted away to the edge of the camp, opposite of where Render disappeared to. His short bow was all he needed to deal sufficient damage and he felt secure tugging at the string once more.

Basyl sat perched in his tree, watching the commotion on the ground below. the sturdy oak tree was old and large enough to easily take his weight and cradle him comfortably in the crotch of two branches. Roughly ten feet below him and a mere five feet away from the base of the tree lay the large log that Leanderia had to vault over. He was in the perfect position to surprise one of the bandits, and he was determined to make sure he did. "Swiftblade!" Even though he was in the tree, his friends could help the poor woman who was not in the best position. "Render..." He looked back to see his friend scurry off and make use of the situation and hide. His temper flared momentarily at the cowardice, but looked back to the real threat at hand.

Valandril's tried to help by telling Leanderia to get down, but she moved over to Uryuu instead, who helped and armed her. He grabbed one of his daggers and slid the thin blade from its sheathe and waited with it ready to be thrown. His bow was gripped tightly in his off hand, and his feet twitched ready to dart to the treeline throwing the dagger. Tactical advantage would be theirs during this fight and these men wouldn't know what hit them.

Soon after everyone barely had enough time to get ready, four loud stomps of feet were heard and then through the darkness came four figures, around and over the large log. From the campfire they could easily make out three humans and an elf. The human in the lead had on scale mail and a large shield strapped to his left forearm. A flail could be seen strapped to his side, which he was quickly reaching for. He had a dirty face with rough stubble, a shaved sweaty head and yellowed teeth, but was bigger then all his companions. Two other humans stood side by side behind him, both wearing studded leather armor but one had a short sword drawn and the other had an axe gripped in one hand, and a small shield in the other. The elf was the same as Valandril, a moon elf. But this one had dark brown hair and ruddy tanned skin, signs of being in the wilds which Valandril knew more then his share about. The elf either wore no armor or something underneath his shirt, as nothing was visible except for a scimitar in one hand, and a dagger with the blade pointed downward in his offhand.

Immediately the four of them looked around, instantly seeing Leanderia standing, anger on her face gripping the kukri with force. The other figure was Valandril who was already on the move, darting off to the tree line. What the lead bandit did not see though was the dagger, turning end over end through the air directly at the mans torso. A wet thump followed by a loud yell of pain and then a slow groan was all Valandril heard as he dashed into the immediate surroundings.(good opening salvo, a hit with 8 damage over all!Also Loki you seem to of forgotten you add Dex to thrown weapons, not strength so even with the -4 you got a +1) Leanderia got a better view though as she watched almost in slow motion the dagger twirl through the air, then connect just underneath his left collar bone and sink to the hilt. The fiery hate in his eyes that Leanderia was staring into immediately left and the man bawled out distressed pain, then dropped his flail and shield, sinking to his knees grabbing and slowly feeling the daggers hilt jut out from just above where his heart is.

Render took advantage of the moment and decided now was the best time to throw a stone. Standing closest to him and slightly away from the main group was the elf, he wound up a sling bullet and let the curved stone fly. It launched straight into the elf's left cheek as he had his head turned straight in Uryuu's direction. With a loud crack that many could hear the elf's head whip lashed backwards and almost knocked him off his feet.(a solid hit since he was flat footed, and four damage total) He wasn't down for the count though as he quickly turned and looked straight at Render. "You damned little bastard!" is all he had time to shout before Uryuu launched an arrow from his hiding spot across from Render into the human gripping a short sword for dear life. The arrow narrowly missed the mans shoulder as it flew past into the darkness beyond, it seems the bandits fidgeting around saved him from Uryuus deadly arrow, and immediately the man spotted him in the shadows. Only hate then slight confusion could be seen in the mans eyes as he caught a glimpse of Uryuus trappings, but pointed his sword in his direction as a threat.

From his perch in the tree he could see the others fire their quick weapons and with deadly accuracy one of the bandits was hit with a life threatening dagger, and a smoothed stone found the face of the elf, obviously doing much damage as bone could be heard breaking under impact. One other was fired at by Uryuu, and his shot distracted the foe, leaving Basyl with one free unengaged target. Seeing the man below him gripping axe and shield, he grasped his rapier and spoke to himself a silent prayer, pushing himself away from the tree with the gracefulness of a gliding owl but with the deadly ferocity as a swooping falcon ready to plunge its talons into the prey.

As Basyl descended upon his prey he could see at last second the man look up and mouth agape, cry out as the boot dagger drove straight into his right side in between his ribs. With his momentum the man collapsed to the ground and Basyl knelt on his back, the figure below him soaking up all the damage that a fall from that height would have given him (a solid hit with 3 damage from the dagger, and 1 fall damage transferred onto the bandit). He quickly rolled off as to not let his companions lash out and the figure started to scramble to his feet.

Leanderia stood and watched as the group of bandits who were so tough to capture them now crumbled as one by one they were shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned into submission by this new group she had run into. It seems like this was the group that she was looking for and that luck was on her side tonight, despite everything else that had happened. She gripped the Kukri tight and shifted her feet in the dirt, ready to show her piece now in the fight against these worthless creeps.


( ok everyone, I figured I would only do the combat surprise round now and then you can all post more detailed combat action that are more appropriate to the situation. Scale mail baldy guy was taken out of the fight by Valandrils dagger sniping, but he is still quite alive. The elf hit in the face with Renders bullet is quite combat ready, just bloody and bruised in the face and really pissed off. Uryuu the man you shot at is unharmed but you have his undivided attention. Basyl, the man you drove your dagger into is on the ground but alive, the dagger did some good damage but not enough to take him out of combat. Leanderia, you have seen all this happen around you and now the next turn is when the first initiative rolls will happen, so now the fight begins. Also, everyone who was hiding, (looking at you Uryuu and Render) you have been spotted by your targets, and they have eyes locked dead on you. You were allowed one hide roll to see if you could hide after your shot albeit at a -20 which is the sniping rule, and both failed. Now there's a good chance you both will be in hand to hand combat, not a certainty depending on what happens but a good chance. Good job everyone, you put a real hurtin on the baddies!)

back posting is always fine, but I have to cover a decent amount of time as I post or we'll get no where in this game fast. If you guys wanna rp and stuff, feel free to do it in between updates and such. It's ok to post more than once and if you guys are Rping conversations you can post up something short just as a response or what not, but unfortunately as Loki stated it's impossible to be able to stop the DM during an update if you wanted to do something for the day, but to remedy this as I said back posting if fine.

Subject: Here ya go


The five of them stood about, the wind whipping their clothing and hair around as it waxed and waned in strength. A smile almost as warm as the days sun crossed Natalies face as Basyl offered words of comfort and security in the idea that they will find her lost brother. Uryuu and Valandril stood around silently as they judged the rest of the group and sized them up, getting used to their new found companions. They will have to all get comfortable around each other soon as the roads were wrought with danger and a team that did work together like a well oiled machine would fall apart quickly. Render, being quite comfortable around a pretty face stepped forward and offered out loud what thoughts were on his mind at the moment. “What are you doing when I get back? I know a lovely tavern the Hungry Bear I believe its called. Perhaps we could grab a drink and get to know one another eh?”

Natalie shifted her gaze from Basyl to Render and her smile faded slightly but not completely as he stood looking back at her with a wry smile of his own. "The Hungry Bear is a fine place, and maybe if you do find my brother and guarantee his safety, instead of gold or gems your prize will be a date with me." She gave him a quick wink with her emerald eyes and backed off towards the gates, the wind whipping her braided blonde hair and dress all about. "I'll be waiting here and when you arrive, come find me. I'll be waiting." With that, she starts walking off into the city and disappears from sight behind the gate entrance.

Together the four heroes stood for a moment, gazing northward. They could collectively see everything that they were about to walk into; the long winding road and its many side paths and deviations, the large forest that skirted the base of the mountain range like wave crashing against a cliff, and the mountains themselves where the village of "Passerby" laid nestled at its base. The northern road that leads out of Marakir isn't actually the trade route itself, but a well used dirt road that connects to the highway about twenty five miles up the road. This dirt road pushes right through a rolling set of hills and a light forest the entire way to the main highway, and a rough estimate with everyone's needs taken account for, the group could get to the highway in about two days on a normal pace. With no real schedule when they needed to be there they set off down the road.

The walk was a beautiful thing to experience as the trees were in full bloom and the sweet smell of grasses and flowers could be noticed everywhere. Everyone happily walked and chatted with each other warming up and finding out what kind of people they were actually traveling with.They were not alone on the road at all and through out the day they waved hello and nodded by as fellow adventurers headed out to their own missions, but as the day went on the road continued to grow quieter and fellow travelers were becoming more infrequent, until for the past two hours not one person was spotted. Eventually after the days travel, the group decided it was time to find a place to rest and bed down for the night. Valandril headed off into the woods after a quick discussion and (with a successful survival roll) came back finding a nice camping spot that lay about a hundred yards off the road.

A small flat clearing that was mostly covered with pine needles made for a good sleeping surface, after clearing of some rocks of course. The pine needles added to the sites usefulness as they provided good kindling for a decent sized fire and made the smoke smell like fresh pine. Quickly a stack of wood was scuttled up and a cooking fire was set to go. Bedrolls were laid around and soon the discussing of camp watch began. The conversation was quickly ended as everyone except Valandril quickly looked over towards north where a loud crack was heard, almost like dried brittle branches being snapped without care. More and more of this sound could be heard as out into the darkness something was quickly coming towards the group, and this time Valandril could hear it too.

The group stood quickly with weapons ready not waiting for whatever was to come near to get the surprise on them, when four loud foot falls could be heard just at the edge of the darkness, and jumping over a large fallen log just roughly fifteen feet away a woman landed and fell, her heavy breathing could be heard loudly over the crackling fire. Before anyone could react she was on her feet and looking at the group, her eyes wide and filled with what looked like fear and desperation. Her black hair disheveled and her dirty hands bound tightly in front of her she was about to speak when more faint foot steps could be heard, and a loud mans voice yells from the dark. "Get back here you filthy dog-lover, I'll flay your skin for killin' Dusty! You'll make a great pet for one a' the bosses!" With that, several more foot falls could be heard quickly making their way to the group from behind the log where the woman had come.


(OK everyone, lets see how everyone does! A bound woman in breastplate has just landed in your camp, with some very angry sounded folks quickly catching up behind her. You have about two rounds to act before they are on your campsite. Sorry if this update is kinda small, just still tryin' to get a DM groove going but hey, lets just keep this pace up and we'll have an awesome game!)
