Alright, so far I've got Krissy, and Lord Tarran on this boat...

All I need is a cleric, and any one else who might be interested!

Here we go:

Krissy (my Char): NPC

Lord Tarran's Char (Kherule): PC

Turalisj's Char (Thosi): PC

Kharia?: PC

The situation, Krissy is hunting down the gravesite of her uncle Drindin. He's to be resurrected and to return tot he land of the living. Thank you.
Khaira

03-02-05, 11:08 PM
So is this going to after the Trial or before? If it is going to happen afterwards, Khaira would love to journey with the rest of the group.

And if it's before the trial, well, I do have a cleric as well. Respen Braegen, a Cleric of Tyr.
Drindin

03-02-05, 11:14 PM
It's in the same time frame as the school is right now (which is obviously not during)
Drindin

03-05-05, 06:16 PM
Come to think of it, Kharia, since Krissy is involved, this is AFTER the trial (however, I would not mind having you play both characters, if it's not to much trouble). That aside, any one else interested in joining?

Well Drindin, if you want (or need) me to play both characters, I can try to do that, too. Or I can just play Khaira. Or I can just play my cleric. Whatever you'd have more need of me for.
Khaira

03-07-05, 07:17 PM
Well, I posted as Khaira because, while she doesn't know about Krissy's adventure, since she feels a closeness to Drindin.
If you want me to, I'll bring in Respen Braegen, my Cleric of Tyr, with my next post. He is, after all, right inside the school...
Drindin

03-07-05, 10:37 PM
Hmm... lets just go with Kharia for now! We really shouldn't need much more fire power than it sounds like we already have... oh, and by the way, for those of you who haven't posted yet, you've got today and tomorrow to do so. After that, we move on.
Khaira

03-08-05, 12:16 AM
Just Khaira it is then. :)

can i introduce my character in the game?

Yes! Like I said, if you haven't done so already, then do so!
Khaira

03-15-05, 02:09 PM
Krissy, the psion, though a moron, does have a point. There are faster ways to get where we need to go. If we could get into the forest, I could take my true form and fly us to where the ghul is taking us. If you don't want to I understand, but the three sitting on my wing wouldn't be a problem.


Ahem. Might I draw to your attention the huge, flying creature still behind Khaira, also known as a Roc????
Drindin

03-15-05, 06:10 PM
Makes sense!

Only one problem... krissy, can't actually approach animals. Her unnatural aura causes them to panic.

03-16-05, 09:12 PM
Epic character(s), ectoplasmic explosions, teleporting to the end of the adventure and back within one post...what's next, 20 clones of yourself?

See, this is why people should not START at level 20...people just don't know how to control themselves. The power goes to their heads. They forget how to properly role play. And they annoy the hell out of people because they don't even take into account advice that is given.

Two of us have epic characters (hmmm...I wonder who?), and don't seem to want to lower their characters power. One of those epic characters is comparing their character with DBZ, a cartoon of insanely overpowered, equally etiquette-lacking anime characters. How ridiculous is that?

In the old days, we had people who knew how to roleplay. Why is that? I think it's because people earned their levels. They didn't just decide, "Oh, hm...if I had 20 levels here and 20 levels here...ah, what the hell, I'll put 40 levels here, too." As such, they knew how to act and more importantly, role play! They had discipline. They had respect. And they had common courtesy enough to lower their character levels when they massively outmatched everyone else.
Now we have betrayal of FoD, betrayal of power, and plain, old...BAD roleplaying! Stepping out of a person's shadow? Exploding ectoplasm - which, as far as i'm concerned, has nothing to do with psionics. Teleportation across thousands of miles within ONE POST!

*Sigh* I miss the good old days, when people actually knew how to do things.
Drindin

03-17-05, 12:27 AM
And then I said it, as the DM, and it was so:

Within the confines of this game, there can be no teleportation, due to a combination magical/psionic disruption that has recently occured, due to the after shocks of a disturbance on the astral plane, as one of the 'dead' gods suddenly quivered in his bizzarre sleep. Planes travelling, and even the simplest of teleportation spells, have there fore, become extremely skewed, dangerous, and simply not good to be doing!
This has also caused problems for your plane old Psion, making his much much weaker than he normally would be.

Yours Truly,
The King of the Universe.

PS: I'm simply doing this to try and keep things balanced. Krissy suffers for it too: She's half ghost. Now, she is tied more closely to the Etheral than the Astral, but she's a sorceress, and a very weak one, in terms of Physical abilities (she's surprisingly powerful considering her age when it comes to magic, even though she is Technically Level Four). Both her AND the Ghul have their work cut out for them: They're total weaklings, but they are integral to the story line. To try and keep everbody else at a leveled playing field, I've (clearly) had to institute the above rule.
Lord Tarran

03-18-05, 01:37 AM
Ahem. Might I draw to your attention the huge, flying creature still behind Khaira, also known as a Roc????

Oh bah! :P Sorry, I had forgotten about the roc when I wrote that post.

On Drindin's last post however:

GO DRIN!!!! Now there's a way to prevent unneccessary screwups to the plot.

Just out of curiousity, would Krissy and Ghul be able to rest on Kherule and direct him? He is, well, Collasal+ when dragon, and could probably create some sitting thing for the little ones between his wings. Or would that scare... Damn, I can't reveal that Kher is truly dragon until he and Respen become friends. So nevermind.

And Krissy and Ghul don't have their work cut out for them! They have Khaira, and Kherule, and Respen, and I guess Thosi, to do the cutting. :D

Tarran out.
Khaira

03-18-05, 11:19 AM
Well, as for the Roc, since it'd be rather difficult to ride a Roc at a slow speed, in my next past, Khaira'll probably merely ask it to fly ahead and scout, since I don't want to split up from the party too much.

'Sides, as one particular Archmage always says, "Part of the fun of the adventure is getting there, and that's why teleportation spells are for cheaters and cowards ... they take all the fun away from the game!"

I suppose. But you'll have to wait for my mark before you can join.

03-21-05, 05:39 PM
"need a lift?" thosi asks, floating next to the Roc and sending a telekinetic lift under the knight.
"wake me when we land" thosi said, slipping from sight and following behind the creature.



Two problems with your post, Sir Ridiculous, Extremely Over-Powered Fake Character:
#1: Khaira's Roc is not hovering. Khaira's Roc has already flown away, high up in the air. Furthermore, you'd be hardpressed to float next to it, since it is in fleight, high up in the air.

#2: BETRAYAL OF FREEDOM OF DESTINY!
I must say you well deserve the Darwin Award of the Year for Betrayal of Freedom of Destiny. In case your not sure what that is, it's: stupidity, moronic actions, de-evolution of the brain since you DO NOT USE IT, and general imbecilic'ism. Yep, that's you, 100%. I think this is, what, the second time you've betrayed FoD? Or the third? In any case, you're doing a pretty poor job.

Oh, I think I have a couple more...

#3: Ridiculously Overpowered!
Did I meniton that you're characters ridiculously overpowered? Did I also mention that you're character's annoying as all hell? No? Well, okay...now you know. Because...he is. Learn FoD, respect, and discipline or get out. No, actually, I think it'd be better if you get out and THEN learn FoD, respect, and discipline.

#4: Pay attention!!
Respen wasn't even talking to you when he was asking Khaira about a lift. The Telekinesis effect on the horse was, needless to say, stupid. Utterly stupid. Utterly, totally, without a second thought stupidly ignorant and disrespectful. It also broke FoD. Did I mention that pisses me off? Because it does. Really and truly.

In short...
GROW UP!

Lord Tarran

03-22-05, 06:38 PM
Just a note to all:

Kherule has magically (read whatever spell would allow him to talk to everyone in the party telepathically) told the entire group that he is lying until he can be sure of the group of tiger riders intentions.

Also, Piper, how do you think that Kherule and Respen should interact? If Respen had been at Agudo's at the point of leaving, he at least heard a whisper of the truth behind the sorceror. Kherule hasn't developed an opinion, but at some point I think that the two should talk.
Pipers Youth

03-22-05, 08:45 PM
Lord Tarran,

Yes, there will always be time for that. A little patience is needed my friend. I'm sure Respen will get to know everyone a little later on a more personal level..... And I will accept your telepathic message. ;)
Drindin

03-25-05, 02:17 AM
Here's how this shall work: It will take a certain undetermined period of time to reach the school, in which various attacks will occur. Upon reaching the school, I assume one of you simply runs in and gets the hair, not a difficult task, and not needing much along the lines of detail.

Also, during this time attacks will occur on both groups. Kherul, Krissy will NOT be able to defend herself! She will rely on you, the Ghul, and Tiger Knights working together to do this.

03-28-05, 08:41 PM
Drindin-

As you can probably see in the last post, Khaira is calling her Roc, or attempting to at least. I don't know if there are any mental, magical, etc. barriers that would prevent Swiftwing from coming to Khaira but, I left it up to you whether Swiftwing is able to come or if some form of barriers keeps him from coming.
Drindin

03-28-05, 10:53 PM
Me, deprive Kharia of her roc? You must be crazy!

Don't worry, I'm ready for flying things as much as I am for walking things in this case!

I mean, come on... I have a red dragon... oh, by the way Shifter dude... just wait for the others to post, then I'll leave the introduction up to you...

And then, my puppets, the fun begins....

While it may seem that Khiara did somewhat of a turn-around in behavior, I would just like to point out that there's more than meets the eye.
In the next couple of posts, there may be a more in-depth look into her mind...provided everything works out correctly.

OK so from what I have gathered in my A.D.D. research you haven't GOTTEN to the actualy grave sight yet? If I am right could it be possible for me to play a powerful Evil Cleric protecting the grave sight? Like an overseer?
Drindin

04-02-05, 01:26 PM
Drindin never actually was evil. He was Lawful Neutral, due to the oaths he had to take as a member of the Trunin Clan.IF you want to join the party, I won't stop you. You don't neccessarily have to be good, you can be evil... but then you have to explain your allegiances to the Paladin and the not-so-evil red dragon! :P :D

OOC: I thought it was a good enough clue...

So I'm imperceptive! :P
I knew if I listed enough undead monster-types I'd get it right eventually...hah!

Also, as an FYI...the magical item that Khaira was using today was a Ring of Shooting Stars, and the spell that she cast was a Spark Shower. It is supposed to affect all creatures within a 20 foot long and 10 feet wide arc. Further information can be found in the DMG on page 233

What about Khaira and Respen? Are they journeying peacefully to the school or are they going to get (getting?) attacked again? Or have you just not got that far?
Pipers Youth

05-10-05, 06:41 PM
Wow that was easy. Some dude is already there to give us the hair, or is he? I love these little scenes that keep you guessing and leaving you in suspense.
Well, anyway while were at the school, why don't we get the Headmaster involved! Besides what's Agudo's School and Light and Magic, without the grandest wizard of them all....Agudo!

I don't know if you already talked to Agudo about it Drindin, but I think it would be a Grande idea if Agudo joined us for at least a little while. So what do you guys think?

05-25-05, 07:47 PM
Hello all, I would just like to tell every one of some information I stumbled upon while reading the exciting book IV Extinction, in the six part trilogy of the War of the Spider Queen. By RA SALVATORE, and a group of fresh new authors working together. You should all buy copies! Well, anyway heres what I found out.

Wraiths, the shadowy, incorporeal creatures are very dangerous. So dangerous in fact that the slightest touch from one could drain a living creature's vitality in an instant, and even magic healing doesn't restore it! Those drained entirely by wraiths become undead themselves, rising as twisted caricatures of their former selves to feed on their own kind. Few people have ever survived encounters with them.

That's word for word people!

So earlier when we were facing these things, Khaira actually came in contact with them! If I'm not mistaken a wraith grabbed onto Lady Khaira's leg! As Respen though, valiantly fought the things off with his holy greatness. *beams*

So I suspect Khaira is now a wraith in guise. Shall I smite her now DM?

It also clearly explains why she couldn't grab the brush! CHAOTIC EVIL HEART! How else explains this event?! Though some say she was like that to begin with. I think it is my duty as an honorable knight, and cleric of Tyr, to cleanse the evil out of her. For it is in thy oath!

Sincerely,
Your goodly, handsome Knight,
Respen Braegan

Well, me being me, I just had to grab my trusty Monster Manual 3.5 after I read this. :)
Now depending on the wraith, a person does not necessarily die instantly after being touched by one. For a normal wraith, if a person does not make the DC 14 Fortitude Save (DC 14? Pfffft!), they lose 1d6 Constitution.

If it was a dread wraith, however, it is a DC 25 Fortitude Save (and again I saw...pfffft!) and 1d8 Constitution damage. And that's still higher than Khaira's, so she would not be slain Mr. Arrogant, Cocky, Ever Doubtful. :-P

It also clearly explains why she couldn't grab the brush! CHAOTIC EVIL HEART!

*Ahem* Chaotic NEUTRAL heart, you mean. :D
Besides, I haven't seen a certain lazy knight take any action...he's leaving it all to the bardess. The supposedly chaotic evil bardess. So...if a good person lets the "evil" person do all the work, what does that make the good person?

:P

Pipers Youth

08-03-05, 01:31 AM
They had spelling bee's in the Realms, and floating brain men? Cool!

Really the riddles may seem simple, but their not. So far I got something like shooting an arrow over a body of water...........

Can't we just use Kherule to rain fiery dragon-spew on the thing? Or rather the ole hack and slash, and then ask him the questions. Oh, for starters,

"Where's Drindin's grave!?"

Krissy knows, and the ol' hack-n-slash, as many have found in the past, don't work with Brainy. Nor does firey-death-rain. Though your welcome to try!

Another hint for the first one, then: Three of us in a pod. What vegetable grows in a pod?
Second line: Me and _____

The rest should fall into place.
